# National General Insurance

National General Insurance, formerly the GMAC Insurance Group is a Winston-Salem, North Carolina–based property and casualty insurance company. The company was founded in 1920. The company is the only insurance company in the United States to originate within the automotive industry.
The holding company for National General Insurance Personal Lines is National General Holdings Corp. As of August 2016, the company was owned by Barry Karfunkel and his family. Barry Karfunkel became the president of the company when Michael Karfunkel died.

## History

One of the two companies that became National General Insurance was life insurance company Integon, founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1920. The second company was Motors Insurance Company, founded in 1925 by General Motors. It was seen as a way to offer damage coverage to GM vehicles sold by dealers and financed by GMAC (now Ally Financial).
In 1969, Integon Corp. started a holding company and began insuring high-risk drivers. Integon underwent a number of changes in ownership and business emphases and struggled during the mid-1990s, which included the 1994 purchase of Bankers and Shippers Insurance Company, headquartered in Burlington, North Carolina. In June 1997, GMAC announced they were acquiring Integon in a deal valued at $550 million. When the deal finally closed in October 1997, it was for $778M. In 2000, Integon became GMAC Insurance Personal Lines.
In 2006, General Motors sold 51% of GMAC (now Ally Financial) to an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management; at the time, 1,179 worked in Winston-Salem.
In 2009, American Capital Acquisition Corp., a unit of American Capital Partners LLC of Hauppauge, New York bought GMAC's U.S. consumer property-casualty insurance business GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc.
On July 1, 2013, GMAC Insurance changed its name to National General Insurance. The Winston-Salem operation moved from downtown to Madison Park in June 2014.
In July 2020, Allstate announced it was acquiring National General for $4 billion. The deal closed in January 2021.

# The Melomaniac

The Melomaniac (French: Le Mélomane) is a 1903 French silent trick film directed by Georges Méliès.

## Plot

A music master leads his band to a field where five telegraph lines are strung on utility poles. Hoisting up a giant treble clef, he turns the set of lines into a giant musical staff. He then uses copies of his own head to spell out the tune for "God Save the King," and his band joins in.

## Production and release

Méliès himself plays the lead role of the music master. The superimposition effects in The Mélomaniac, allowing multiple Méliès heads to appear on the staff, were created by a multiple exposure technique requiring the same strip of film to be run through the camera seven times. The rest of the film's special effects were created with substitution splices.
The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 479–480 in its catalogues. The film was registered for American copyright at the Library of Congress on 30 June 1903.
The French film scholars Jacques Malthête and Laurent Mannoni believe The Mélomaniac to be Méliès's most famous trick film, and a Méliès guide from the Centre national de la cinématographie judges that the film merits that position. Film critic William B. Parrill rates it "innovative and creative".
# Helical resonator

A helical resonator is a passive electrical component that can be used as a filter resonator.
Physically, a helical resonator is a wire helix surrounded by a square or cylindrical conductive shield. One end of the helix is connected to the shield and the other end is left open (Weston, 2001, p. 660). The device works like a coaxial resonator, but it is much shorter because the helical inner conductor reduces the velocity of wave propagation (Lancaster, 2006, p. 99).
Like cavity resonators, helical resonators can achieve Q factors in the 1000s. This is because at high frequencies, the skin effect results in most of the current flowing on the surface of the helix and shield. Plating the shield walls and helix with high conductivity materials increases the Q beyond that of bare copper (Blattenberger, 1989).
The length of wire is one quarter of the wavelength of interest. The helix is space wound, the gap between turns is equal to the diameter of the wire (Blattenberger, 1989). If the open end of the helix is close to the end cap of the metal shield the length is somewhat reduced due to the capacitance between the conductor and the shield (Whittaker, 2000, p. 227).
Coupling to the resonator can be achieved with a tap wire soldered to the helix at some distance from the shorted end. Input impedance varies with distance from the shorted end by impedance transformer action. The tap point is chosen to achieve an impedance match with the connected circuit. Tuning of the resonator may be achieved by inserting a screw into the central axis of the helix (Weston, 2001, p. 660). Other means of input and output coupling used are a wire loop coupling to the magnetic field near the shorted end, or a probe capacitively coupling near the open end. Coupling between resonators in a multi-resonator filter is often simply achieved with apertures in the shielding between them (Whittaker, 2000, p. 227).
Helical resonators are well suited to UHF frequencies ranging from 600 MHz to 1500 MHz (Blattenberger, 1989).

# Paradyż, Opoczno County

Paradyż is a village in Opoczno County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Paradyż. It lies in northwestern corner of historic Lesser Poland, approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) south-west of Opoczno and 70 km (43 mi) south-east of the regional capital Łódź.
The history of Paradyż dates back to the second half of the 18th century and is closely tied with a Bernardine Monastery, which was founded at that time in the nearby village of Wielka Wola. Soon afterwards, a new village named Paradyż was founded near the monastery. Its name comes from a Latin language word paradisus, which means paradise. In 1789, local nobleman Jan Saryusz Skorkowski, who owned Wielka Wola and Paradyż, and whose grandfather Kazimierz Skorkowski had invited the monks here, made plans to attract Catholic settlers to the village and to raise it to the status of a town. The plan failed, and Paradyż still remains a village, which until the January Uprising was closely tied with the monastery.

# Strange Serenade

Strange Serenade is an album by American jazz pianist and composer Andrew Hill, recorded in June 1980 and released later that year on the Italian label Soul Note.
The album features three of Hill's original compositions and one by Laverne Hill. Performed in a trio format, Strange Serenade showcases Hill's distinctive approach to jazz, characterized by his innovative use of harmony and rhythm.

## Reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| Allmusic | |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings | |
The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Hill enters the '80s on a stirring trio note."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3 stars and noted, "This is as dour and dark as anything Hill has committed to record. Silva and Waits are ideal partners in music that isn't so much minor-key as surpassingly ambiguous in its harmonic language. Hill seems, on occasion, to be exploring ideas that can be traced back to Bud Powell—not the straight bebop language so much as the more impressionistic aspects. There are curious, light broken triplets and wide-interval phrases that seem to come straight from Bud's last recordings."

# MV Hythe Scene

MV Hythe Scene (formerly MV Great Expectations) is a catamaran ferry operating on the Hythe ferry service. This service connects the town of Hythe and the city of Southampton, across Southampton Water in England.
Great Expectations was originally introduced in 1992 and was used on the Gravesend to Tilbury ferry service across the River Thames between Kent and Essex, which was at that time operated by White Horse Ferries Ltd. She was named after the Charles Dickens novel, Great Expectations, in which the countryside of Kent and the marshes on the lower regions of the Thames feature heavily.
In 1995, White Horse moved Great Expectations from the Thames to be the front-line vessel on their Hythe service.
In 2008, White Horse Ferries spent £50,000 on upgrading the then 16-year-old Great Expectations, including improvements to her main drive shafts.
In 2012, Great Expectations received a new green and white with a black hull livery.
On 21 April 2017, Great Expectations was purchased by the Blue Funnel Group as part of a takeover of Hythe ferry service. Following a refit and repainting in blue, she returned to service on 26 May 2017 under the new name, Hythe Scene.
In March 2023 the ferry was used in a training exercise conducted by the home office and the Nigerian National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
# Kazem Hassibi

Kazem Hassibi (Hasibi) (Persian: کاظم حسیبی) (born Tehran, October 1906 – died Tehran, October 28, 1990) was an Iranian academic, parliamentarian, National Front leader, and oil adviser to Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh during Iran's oil nationalization movement.
After his education in France, Hassibi served a stint in the military. In 1941, he began teaching at the University of Tehran in the Faculty of Engineering and also co-founded the Engineer's Association (Kānun-e mohandesin), which would eventually become the Iran Party (Ḥezb-e Irān) and merge into the National Front (Jebhe Melli Irân). Politically active on issues related to oil, he became Deputy Minister of Finance under Mosaddegh and, in 1951, a member of the House of Parliament. During this time, he was regarded as the chief oil expert in Iran. He was a strong proponent of nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and refused to take part in the mediation talks between Iran and the British led by W. Averell Harriman in Tehran in July 1951. He did take part in those spearheaded by Richard Stokes the following month. After the 1953 Iranian coup d'état unseated Mosaddegh, Hassibi was imprisoned along with other important members of the National Front. After his release, he remained politically active with the National Front.
Kazem Hassibi is the grandfather of famous polymath Babak Hassibi. Kazem's father was a watchmaker/clocksmith, and craftsman of other time keeping devices and/or scientific instruments in Tehran, Iran during the late 19th century.

# Envisioning Asia

Envisioning Asia: On Location, Travel, and the Cinematic Geography of U.S. Orientalism is a 2010 American book written by Jeanette Roan, about Asian Americans in Hollywood films. It also discusses the "on location" shooting of Hollywood films in Asia. It was published by University of Michigan Press.

## Background

Jeanette Roan is an associate professor of Visual Studies & Visual and Critical Studies at California College of the Arts, Oakland, California.

## Content

Roan begins her book with a discussion about the feature film The Good Earth (1937). In the publicity for the film it was claimed that viewing the film once was equal to all that a person would come to know and experience from a whole year's journey in China. However, the film was actually shot in San Fernando Valley.
Roan goes on to discuss Elias Burton Holmes, an expert who gave lectures on topics including "The Hawaiian Islands" and "The Forbidden City", which depicted the Chinese, Philippine and inhabitants of Pacific islands.
The portrayal of Asians in American films and the images they created in the minds of the audience are discussed. Analysis of "on-location shooting" of films from the last decade of the nineteenth century to 1960s is presented. She views that the concept of imperialism has changed into that of democracy and globalism. Thomas Edison's Occidental and Oriental Series has also been critically analyzed. Alterations brought by the Spanish–American War, the Philippine–American War, and the Boxer Uprising in the depiction of Asian Americans is also discussed.
A final chapter focuses on the consequences that the Occupation of Japan had on Hollywood films. The usage of Japan as a shooting spot has been discussed by citing the examples of Tokyo File 212 (1951), Three Stripes in the Sun (1955), Teahouse of the August Moon (1956), Sayonara (1957), and My Geisha (1962).
In her conclusion, Roan analyses David Cronenberg's M. Butterfly (1993), shot on location in Hungary, China, France, and Canada, and posits her reasons for the negative reception of the feature. She states that the previous Hollywood films shot in China showed the country's scenic beauty and tourist attractions to their audiences, but Cronenberg, contrary to the expectations of film viewers, focused more on the characters, narrative, and story. A few contemporary critics questioned the need for location shooting in China.

## Reception

Monica Rico wrote in the journal Film & History that "Envisioning Asia deserves to be widely read and assigned" and that the author relies "perhaps a bit too heavily on quotations" from others. Kent A. Ono (in American Quarterly) opined that Roan had "[emphasized] context itself", taking a cultural studies approach to her study of “on location” cinema and concluded by saying that "Roan questions the very need and rationale for the authenticity that location shooting ostensibly allows and provides."
# Ivan Fersen

Baron, Graf Hans Heinrich von Fersen or Ivan Yevstafyevich Fersen (Russian: Иван Евстафьевич Ферзен, romanized: Ivan Yevstaf'yevič Ferzen) was a Russian military commander and general of the infantry from the nobility of what was then Russia's Livonia. As a lieutenant colonel, he fought in the 1769–74 Russo-Turkish War. In 1790 he acted in Finland against the Swedes, where he assisted Vasily Chichagov's ships in the Bay of Vyborg with the fire of coastal artillery batteries, increasing the confusion of the Swedish warships in the bay. He also fought in the Polish–Russian War of 1792 and the Kościuszko Uprising.
In 1792, in the aftermath of the adoption of the constitution of 3 May 1791 he formed in Lithuania a general confederation (after the example of Targowica), which was enacted under the patronage of Empress Catherine II, and thus quickly pacified the whole region. Fersen gained notoriety with the defeat and capture of Kościuszko in the battle of Maciejowice. Then he took part in the capture of Praga by Suvorov. In 1797 he was appointed director of the First Cadet Corps; he soon retired and died in his Livonian estate.
# C.S. Sudha

C.S. Sudha is an Indian judge currently serving as a judge at the Kerala High Court. She was appointed as an Additional Judge of the High Court of Kerala on October 20, 2021, and was later appointed as a Permanent Judge on September 2, 2023.

## Judicial career

She began her judicial career in 1995, and in 2021 was sworn in as an Additional Judge in the Kerala High Court. On September 2, 2023, she was appointed as a Permanent Judge of the Kerala High Court.
# Carter Young

Carter Isaak Young (born January 24, 2001) is an American professional baseball shortstop in the Baltimore Orioles organization.

## Amateur career

Young began playing baseball as a child and began switch hitting at age ten after former MLB player Jay Gainer suggested it to him. He attended Selah High School in Selah, Washington. As a freshman in 2016, he helped Selah win their first ever state championship. In 2018, his junior year, he batted .412 with four home runs and 26 RBIs and was named the Washington Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year. That summer, he played in the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game at Wrigley Field. As a senior in 2019, he helped lead Selah to their second state championship in four years. During his high school career, he played for both the USA Baseball 15U National Team that won a bronze medal as well as for the 18U National Team.
Young went unselected in the 2019 Major League Baseball draft and enrolled at Vanderbilt University to play college baseball. As a freshman in 2020, he started all 18 games in which he batted .328 with 12 RBIs before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He played for the Yakima Valley Pippins of the West Coast League that summer. In 2021, his sophomore year, he was forced to miss time due to a dislocated shoulder, but still started 61 games in which he slashed .252/.341/.559 with 16 home runs and 51 RBIs. He had the game-winning RBI in Game 2 of the Nashville Super Regional which ultimately allowed the Commodores to advance to the 2021 College World Series where they lost the series 2-1 to Mississippi State University. His 84 strikeouts over 238 at-bats led NCAA Division 1. He underwent shoulder surgery shortly after the season's end. Young opened the 2022 season as a top prospect for the upcoming draft, but his stock fell after he finished the year batting .207 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs over 56 games, losing his starting spot during the season. He entered the transfer portal after the season. He later announced he would be transferring at Louisiana State University (LSU).

## Professional career

Young was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 17th round of the 2022 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the team for $1.32 million.
Young made his professional debut with the Florida Complex League Orioles and was later promoted to the Delmarva Shorebirds. Over 18 games between both teams, he batted .253 with one home run and eight RBIs. Young opened the 2023 season with Delmarva and was promoted to the Aberdeen IronBirds in early August. Over 100 games between the two teams, he hit .244 with three home runs and 37 RBIs.
