# List of ambassadors of the United States to Slovakia

Until 1992 the Slovak Republic had been united with the Czech Republic as the nation of Czechoslovakia. Following World War II, a U.S. consulate was established in Bratislava, but the consulate was closed on May 27, 1950, on the order of the Czechoslovak government, at the height of the Cold War. In 1990 the consulate was reestablished in Bratislava. The Consulate was upgraded to the status of Consulate General on October 21, 1991. In June 1992, the Slovak parliament voted to declare sovereignty and the Czech-Slovak federation dissolved peacefully on January 1, 1993. The United States recognized the Slovak Republic as an independent state and established diplomatic relations with it on January 1, 1993. The embassy in Bratislava was established January 4, 1993, with Paul Hacker as Chargé d’Affaires ad interim. He was replaced by Eleanor Sutter on July 7, 1993. The first ambassador, Theodore E. Russell was commissioned to Slovakia on November 22, 1993. The United States has maintained diplomatic relations with Slovakia since 1993.

On May 29, 1929, a series of explosions in the sewers of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, killed one person.
The first blast occurred just after noon in the Golden Triangle area, west of the canal; over the next 25 minutes, a series of explosions travelled the length of the main line of the sewer system. The explosions first moved east under the canal and then moved through Sandy Hill under Somerset Street. After passing under the Rideau River, they followed the line as it turned north through what is today Vanier, before going through New Edinburgh to the point where the sewer system emptied into the Ottawa River.
The blasts were fairly small, except when manhole covers were involved. At these points, the access to oxygen fuelled towering flames that erupted through the manhole covers onto city streets. The covers themselves were blown high into the air.
Most of the damage from the sewer explosions occurred where sewage lines were attached to less sturdy pipes inside houses; blasts destroyed the plumbing in many residential basements. Besides property damage, the explosions caused one death and many injuries.
The cause of the explosions was never definitively determined. Methane naturally occurs in sewers, but it never accumulates in a concentration powerful enough to cause explosions of the magnitude seen in Ottawa. The Ottawa Gas Company vehemently insisted that the disaster could not have been caused by its lines.
It is now thought that the fuel stations and mechanic shops in the city—new since the introduction of the automobile—contributed to the calamity. While these shops were required by law to dispose of all waste oils in a safe manner, there were no inspections; dumping waste into the sewage system was commonplace. In combination with problems in the sewer system's design, this pollution likely caused the 1929 blasts.
# Tararan-e Bala

Tararan-e Bala (Persian: تراران بالا) is a village in Bazarjan Rural District of the Central District of Tafresh County, Markazi province, Iran.
Tararan-e Bala is a summer resort and its main cultivation is walnut. The village has an old, lush field called dasht (field) which is popular among many urban people who know the area and is used as a strolling area. Remains of a very old mill are buried on the way to the dasht.

Traces of the old dialect are to be found in the speech of some older residents. In the past, a large number of Iranian courtiers and calligraphers were from the Tafresh and Ashtian regions.

## Migration

A high percentage of the people of Tararan-e Bala have migrated to Tehran over time, and many still visit the village during the ceremonies of Ashura for watching the traditional Taziyeh plays The focus of Tafreshi migrants to Tehran was at the beginning the neighborhoods around the Mokhtari crossroad with the Shahpour Sreet (today's Vahdat-e Eslami). The Tafreshi Mosque is still located nearby.

## Higher education

Between the village of Moinabad, to the east of Tararan-e Bala, and Tafresh lies the Tafresh Azad University.

## Review

   O'Brien touches on the most pressing questions and dilemmas of being human in this time and place with welcome playfulness, for example, situating "tower" and "Guadalajara" as an off-rhyme, explicitly noting the juxtaposition within "the rhyme of laws and loss," and doubling up negatives, as in "not here but not/ Not." In so doing, O'Brien produces many bizarre and beautiful linguistic combinations that shed light on peculiarly American anxieties of the 21st century
   If O'Brien's poems have a sameness of diction and rhythm that verges on monotonous and impersonal, it's the same sameness of heartbeat and breath, prayer and meditation. It's a poetry that asks for patient attention, and gives back all the void's abundance.

## Political protest

On November 9, 2011, O'Brien took part in Occupy Cal, a demonstration on the Berkeley campus in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. According to reports O'Brien spoke out to a police officer who was hitting a Berkeley student because he would not break his link in a human chain. The police officer hit O'Brien in the ribs, a reaction he would later call "brutal."
