# Lookdown

The lookdown (Selene vomer) is a species of game fish in the family Carangidae. It was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus, in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

## Description

Although the lookdown is similar to the Atlantic moonfish, it can be distinguished by its dorsal and anal fins, the second ray on each fin being many times longer than the surrounding rays. This gives the dorsal and anal fins a noticeably scythe-like shape. The dorsal fin of the lookdown has 9 spines and 23 rays, while the anal fin has only 3 spines and 18 rays.
Like the Atlantic moonfish, it has a deep, rhombus-shaped, laterally-compressed body. The head has the mouth set low and the eyes high. The overall profile of the head is concave. The caudal fin is forked, as in the pompanos, while the pectoral fin is scythe-like and reaches the middle of the second dorsal fin.
The lookdown is silvery on both sides with a darker tinge on top. A young fish has several faint vertical bars that fade as it grows. The longest lookdown known was 48.3 cm (19.0 in) long, and the heaviest weighed 2.1 kilograms (4.6 lb).

## Distribution and habitat

In the western Atlantic, the lookdown is found from Canada and Maine south to Uruguay, including Bermuda and the Gulf of Mexico. Although it is common in tropical Atlantic waters, it is rarely seen in the Greater Antilles.
The lookdown is found in marine and brackish waters at depths of 1 to 53 meters (3.3 to 170 ft). It lives in shallow water near the coast, along hard or sandy bottoms. Juveniles may be seen in estuaries or near sandy beaches. The lookdown often shoals, but it may also break away into smaller groups or pairs.

## Commercial importance

The lookdown does not play a significant role in commercial fisheries. However, it is sought after for large public aquarium displays due to its interesting shape and flashy appearance.

# RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra

The RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra (Slovene: Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija) is a radio orchestra in Slovenia.

## History

RTVSO was established in 1956 within Radiotelevizija Slovenija. The Orchestra followed the name change of the National Radio and TV Station from RTV Ljubljana to RTV Slovenija. Throughout its 50-year history, it contributed to archive recordings, composed by Slovenian composers, as well as contemporary and classical music from all over the world. The chief conductor is Bulgarian-American Rossen Milanov, who replaced En Shao.
Milanov and musicians from three orchestras - Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, Princeton Symphony Orchestra, and RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra - offered a Global Pandemic tribute for the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth.
RTV Slovenia dates to 1955 when it was conducted by the academy of music's professor, violin virtuoso and composer Uroš Prevoršek. The Orchestra was later conducted by Samo Hubad, Stanislav Macura, Anton Nanut and Lior Shambadal.
In September 2003, David de Villiers became the orchestra's chief conductor. In Autumn 2006, the baton was taken over by the English conductor of Chinese heritage, En Shao.

## Programs

RTV Slovenia's main activity is concert records. The orchestra performs repertoire from baroque to modern symphony music, opera, oratorio and cantata, stage and film music, mostly with a stress on the creativity of Slovene music.
In the past years, it attracted most attention at concerts with the bands Siddharta and Terrafolk, where it engaged in crossover projects. Notable recent concerts include the concert featuring pianist Ivo Pogorelić and one on the 75th anniversary of longtime leader Anton Nanut, with guest flautist Irena Grafenauer.
In 2014 the concertmasters were Benjamin Ziervogel and Kana Matsui.
# NBA TV Canada

NBA TV Canada is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE). It is the Canadian version of NBA TV, broadcasting programming focused on the National Basketball Association, and its Canadian franchise, the Toronto Raptors.

## History

In December 2000, MLSE was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a Category 2 digital specialty channel licence tentatively known as Raptors Basketball Channel, a channel described as being devoted primarily to the Toronto Raptors basketball franchise and the National Basketball Association (NBA), with additional programming related to other aspects of basketball.
With the launch of other Canadian channels, the channel was launched on 7 September 2001, as Raptors NBA TV, with programming focused on the NBA and other basketball-related programming, although it maintained a particular emphasis on the Toronto Raptors. On 1 November 2005, the high-definition version of this channel, named NBA TV Canada HD, was launched, originally named Raptors NBA TV HD.
On 15 October 2010, the channel was renamed as NBA TV Canada, being the current and second name of the channel, as the channel began to air more programming devoted to the NBA and international basketball in general, sourced from its American counterpart.
The channel was valued at $21 million on behalf of the CRTC in mid-2012.

## Programming

NBA TV Canada broadcasts programming primarily related to the NBA and the Raptors, as well as coverage of other leagues including the NBA G League, Summer League, and the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Regular hosts for local studio programming include David Amber, Sherman Hamilton, Matt Devlin, Leo Rautins and Jack Armstrong. The channel broadcasts NBA games sourced from NBA TV and ESPN, and NBA TV series and studio programs.
NBA TV Canada does not broadcast live Raptors games outside of the pre-season (which are split between the networks of TSN and Sportsnet—which are owned by the co-majority owners of MLSE, Rogers Communications and Bell Canada), but does broadcast full and abbreviated encores of Raptors telecasts.
# Pumham

Pumham (died 1676) (also known as Pomham) was one of Metacomet's chief advisors during King Phillip's War. He was sachem of Shawomet. He was described as "one of the stoutest and most valiant sachems that belonged to the Narragansett." He was friends with English settlers, but aligned himself with Metacomet when war broke out.

## Early life

Pumham was allied with the Massachusetts Bay colony, who claimed the lands of Shawomet, today Warwick, Rhode Island. The colony forbid anyone to live there without permission, and built a fort there to protect the area, the remains of which were still visible in 2000. This fort was built on the site of Pumham's village.

## King Phillip's War

As tensions mounted, Pumham began encouraging defiance, and not peace, with the colonists. During the war, Pumham used the fort Shawomet.
On July 4, 1675, Governor John Leverett sent Edward Hutchinson to sign a treaty with the Narragansets whereby they would agree not to harbor any of Metacomet's people. Hutchinson decided "to treat with the Narragansets sword in hand," and forced Pumham to sign on July 15. Pumham and his people ignored the treaty as soon as the colonists left.
Pumham was captured in Dedham, Massachusetts on July 25, 1676. Several Christian Indians had seen his band in the woods, including his son and other family members, nearly starved to death. Captain Samuel Hunting led 36 men from Dedham and Medfield and joined 90 Indians on a hunt to find them. A total of 15 of the Ponham's band were killed and 35 were captured. Pumham, with a bullet in his back and so wounded he could not stand, hid in the bushes with this hatchet. He grabbed hold of an English soldier and would have killed him had one of the settler's compatriots not come to his rescue. Pumham died in the fight.
# Otto Berg (scientist)

Otto Berg (23 November 1874 – 1939) was a German scientist. He is one of the scientists credited with discovering rhenium, the last element to be discovered having a stable isotope.

## Life

Berg was born in Berlin as the son of the merchant Philipp Berg and his wife Jenny. From 1894 to 1898, Berg studied chemistry in Berlin, Heidelberg and Freiburg; in Freiburg he worked as an assistant at the Institute of Physics. In 1900, he married Julie Zuntz, a daughter of physiologist Nathan Zuntz; the couple had four children. Between 1902 and 1911, he was a Privatdozent in Greifswald. He then became a partner at Siemens & Halske in Berlin-Charlottenburg. After the Nazi seizure of power he lost his job at Siemens in 1933 because of his Jewish descent, subsequently in 1938 he fled with his family to England, where he died in 1939.

## Rhenium

In 1925 in Germany, Walter Noddack, Ida Tacke, and Otto Berg reported that they detected the element in platinum ore and in the mineral columbite. They also found rhenium in gadolinite and molybdenite. In 1928 they were able to extract 1 gram of the element by processing 660 kg of molybdenite. In 2020 a memorial medal of the discovery was issued by ISTR (art-designer: Igor Petrov).

## Technetium

The same team was also involved in the claimed discovery of technetium. They reported the discovery of element 75 and element 43 in 1925 and named element 43 masurium (after Masuria in eastern Prussia, now in Poland, the region where Walter Noddack's family originated). The group bombarded columbite with a beam of electrons and deduced element 43 was present by examining X-ray diffraction spectrograms. The wavelength of the X-rays produced is related to the atomic number by a formula derived by Henry Moseley in 1913. The team claimed to detect a faint X-ray signal at a wavelength produced by element 43. Contemporary experimenters could not replicate the discovery, and it was dismissed as an error for many years. Some more recent attempts have been made to rehabilitate the Noddacks' claims, but they are disproved by Paul Kuroda's study on the amount of technetium that could have been present in the ores they studied: it could not have exceeded 3 × 10$^{−11}$ μg/kg of ore, and thus would have been undetectable by the Noddacks' methods. Discovery of element 43 was finally confirmed by a 1937 experiment in Sicily.
# Bien Hoa Base Camp

Bien Hoa Base Camp (also known as Bien Hoa Army Base) is a former U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) base northeast of Biên Hòa in Đồng Nai province, southern Vietnam.

## History

From 3 to 6 May 1965 United States Air Force (USAF) transport aircraft deployed the 173rd Airborne Brigade from Okinawa to Bien Hoa Air Base to secure the air base and surrounding areas and the port of Vũng Tàu. The 173rd established their base on the northeast perimeter of the air base. In June and July they were joined by the 1st Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment and a New Zealand Artillery Battery attached as the third battery of the U.S. 3rd Battalion, 319th Field Artillery Regiment. The allied units were under the operational control of the 173rd until April 1966 when they were given their own tactical area of responsibility (TAOR) in Phước Tuy Province.
On 15 March 1971 a grenade was tossed into an officer billet at the base killing 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) Lieutenants Thomas A. Dellwo and Richard E. Harlan. Private Billy Dean Smith was charged with the murders, but was acquitted at a court-martial in November 1972.
Other units stationed at Bien Hoa included:
* 5th Special Forces Group, Detachment C-3
* Special Forces Detachment 60
* MIKE Force A-302
* 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagle Replacement Training School (SERTS)
* 1st Cavalry Division replacement training center

# The Northern Advocate

The Northern Advocate is the regional daily paper for the city of Whangārei and the Northland Region in New Zealand.

## History

The Whangarei Comet and Northern Advertiser was founded in 1875 as a weekly paper by George Alderton and, despite a small population which led to a prediction the paper "would go up like a comet, and come down like a stick", the paper flourished and within two years had expanded to 12 pages and become the Northern Advocate and General Advertiser, with a small section printed in Māori. The paper began daily publication in 1902. On Monday, 23 April 2012, the weekday Northern Advocate changed to tabloid format.
After a long period of decline, owner NZME announced in 2024 that major staff cuts would be made to the Advocate alongside other regional newspapers.

## Other publications
### The Whangarei Report

The Whangarei Report is a weekly tabloid-format community paper, delivered free on Thursdays to all homes south of the Brynderwyns, across to Dargaville and north to Ōakura, Northland.

### The Northland Age
