# Krewe of Barkus

The Mystic Krewe of Barkus is a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade where participants are dogs costumed according to a central parade theme. The annual event is organized by the Krewe of Barkus, a nonprofit organization that promotes adoption and rescue of homeless animals in New Orleans. The Mystic Krewe of Barkus makes fun of the more traditional New Orleans Mardi Gras parades and is the only Mardi Gras "krewe" in New Orleans created for dogs.

## History

The Mystic Krewe of Barkus traces its history to a November 1992 meeting of the Margaret Orr fan club. Orr is a meteorologist for New Orleans television station WDSU and regularly participates in the event as a Mistress of Ceremonies. The parade evolved from a bar prank, as a member of the club hatched the idea for a canine-centered "krewe" and it took hold. The Krewe was granted official parading status by the city of New Orleans in 1994.
The Krewe is reigned over by a canine King and Queen. The King traditionally is a purebred, however, only dogs that once were homeless are eligible to be crowned Queen. Membership in the Krewe of Barkus has grown over the years and now is limited by the city to 1,500 dog participants each year. Registration fees for members are donated to several animal welfare groups, including local chapters of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Throughout the years, the annual event has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for dog-related nonprofits.
The theme of the first Krewe of Barkus Parade was "Welcome to the Flea Market." Other themes have included: "Jurassic Bark"; "2001: A Dog Odyssey"; "Tailtanic: Dogs and Children First"; "Joan of Bark" and "007: From Barkus with Love". Local New Orleanian Matt Rinard is the official artist for the Krewe of Barkus since 1998.
# Lao People's Liberation Army Air Force

The Lao People's Liberation Army Air Force (LPLAAF) is the air force of Laos.

## History

The present-day LPLAAF is descended from the Aviation Laotienne, which was established by the French and later became the Royal Lao Air Force. Pathet Lao guerrilla forces began to operate a few aircraft from 1960, as did another rebel group led by Kong Le. Kong Le forces were later re-incorporated into the Royal Lao Air Force. The communist take-over in 1975 resulted in the adoption of the present title.
A military co-operation agreement with Russia in 1997 resulted in 12 Mil Mi-17 (second hand) helicopters entering service in mid-1999 to follow on from previous deliveries of Mi-8s. SAM systems also entered service such as the SA-3 'Goa'.

## Bases

The LPLAAF operates from two main bases, Vientiane and Phonsavan, with another three bases supported by detachments from the main units. Apart from the main military air bases, there are also a number of smaller airports and airfields around the country which are frequently used by the air force and the semi-military airline Lao Airlines. In 1961 Laos had 25 airstrips capable of landing a C-47.
* Wattay International Airport
* Long Tieng

# Duke De of Qin

Duke De of Qin (Chinese: 秦德公; pinyin: Qín Dé Gōng; 710–676 BC), personal name unknown, was a duke of the Qin state who reigned from 677 to 676 BC.
Duke De was the second of the three sons of his father Duke Xian. His younger half-brother Chuzi I was the first to succeed Duke Xian in 704 BC, but was killed six years later. His older brother Duke Wu then ascended the throne and reigned for 20 years. Although Duke Wu had a son named Bai (白), when he died in 678 BC it was Duke De who succeeded him, while Prince Bai was enfeoffed at the capital Pingyang.
In the first year of his reign, Duke De moved the capital to Yong (in present-day Fengxiang, Shaanxi), which would remain the capital of Qin until almost three centuries later, when Duke Xian (Shixi) moved the capital to Yueyang in 383 BC. However, Duke De reigned for only two years before dying in 676 BC, aged 34. He had three sons, who would in turn ascend the throne as Duke Xuan, Duke Cheng, and Duke Mu, respectively.

## Life

Gifford was born in Oxford in 1973 at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Her parents were Charlotte (born Pumphrey) and Richard Peter (Rick) Stroud. Her father was a television director and producer and he was the second husband of her mother who had been Charlotte Bridgewater. Nell had three half-siblings including the designer Emma Bridgewater. Her mother was a key figure and she encouraged her children to have a long childhood.
She fell in love with horses and she was educated at a convent school, before she went on to New College, Oxford. Her university place was put on hold for a year after her mother was in a riding accident that sent her into a coma and although she came round she never recovered. Nell spent a gap year at the Circus Flora based in St. Louis Missouri which had been founded in the mid-1980s. She completed her degree in English and went to work in circuses. She had a hard time at one circus but she persevered and she became a ringmaster at the French Santus Circus. There she renewed her love of horses and hoped one day to train them to do dressage. Gifford write her story of being someone who works in a circus but was not born into a circus family. These people are named Jossers and her book was Josser: The Secret Life of a Circus Girl.
In 2000 she was married to a farmer's son named Toti Gifford and they founded Giffords Circus which was based at a farm. The marriage ended after they had twins.
In 2003 she published her second book. This was a children's book about one of the founders of the original circus, Philip Astley. Her book was titled Sgt. Major Philip Astley: Inventor of the Circus.
She was involved with reshaping her circus to meet modern tastes. She was awarded a £10,000 grant by the Jerwood Foundation and that enable more people to be involved with producing a show. Three important women were involved; they were the horsewoman Rebecca Townsend and her pony, the trapeze artist Emily Park on the trapeze and Isabelle Woywode. In the following year, 2004, Giffords Circus had their first themed show titled "Pearl". Barry Grantham was involved with the choreography.
She knew five years before she died that she had breast cancer and in time she was given a year to live, after it was discovered that it had spread. She described cancer as "boring" and she lived her last months between hospital appointments and continuing to appear in her circus albeit with her cropped hair covered by a large blond wig. One of her last enthusiasms was painting which she discovered while recreating a Picasso on the side of a circus van. In a year she created 60 paintings which were later auctioned.
Gifford died in Gloucestershire Royal Hospital of cancer and her niece took over the circus. Her younger sister the writer Clover Stroud later wrote a book that described their life together titled The Red of My Blood.

# 1979 U.S. Embassy Burning in Libya

On 2 December 1979, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya, was burned during protests over allegations that the United States was involved in the Grand Mosque seizure in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The United States had already withdrawn the U.S. Ambassador to Libya in 1972. Following the 1979 attack, all remaining U.S. government personnel were withdrawn and the embassy closed. Diplomatic presence resumed on February 8, 2004, with the arrival of the U.S. Interests Section in Tripoli. That mission was upgraded to a Liaison Office on June 24, 2004.

# Ray Sorrell

Ray George Sorrell (born 1 January 1938) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with East Fremantle and South Fremantle in the West Australian National Football League (WANFL).
A centreman, Sorrell achieved many accolades during his time at East Fremantle. He was a dual Sandover Medal winner, finishing equal first with Neville Beard in 1961 and then winning the award outright in 1963. The 1961 medal was given to Beard on countback but Sorrell was awarded it retrospectively in the 1990s when the league decided to reward those who had lost in a similar fashion. He was also a dual Simpson Medalist, winning both in 1962, one for being best on ground in the Grand Final that year and the other for performance against Tasmania in their interstate match. In total he represented the West Australians at interstate football on 18 occasions during his career and was named in two All-Australian teams, in 1958 and 1961.
Left-footed, Sorrell was a superb athlete and his raking drop kicks provided numerous opportunities for his forwards. His vision and anticipation marked him out from his opponents.
Sorrell controversially joined arch-rival South Fremantle as captain-coach in 1964 and spent two seasons with them with little on-field success (second-last and last) before returning to East Fremantle where he finished his 178-game WANFL career.
In 1997 he was named on the wing in East Fremantle's Team of the Century and in 2007 he was named in the centre in the Fremantle Team of Legends. In 2016 Sorrell was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, after being an inaugural inductee in the West Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2004.
His grandsons, Harrison and Jonathon Marsh, previously played for the Sydney Swans and Collingwood/St. Kilda respectively.

# Storlien railway station

Storlien Station (Swedish: Storlien station, Norwegian: Storlien stasjon) is a railway station located at Storlien in Åre Municipality, Sweden. Located 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) east of the Norway–Sweden border, it serves as changeover station between the Norwegian Meråker Line and the Swedish Central Line (the actual ownership border and name change between the lines is at the national border). The altitude is 592 metres (1,942 ft), the highest located station in Sweden. The station is 105.97 kilometres (65.85 mi) from Trondheim, 358 kilometres (222 mi) from Sundsvall and 748.1 kilometres (464.8 mi) from Stockholm. The station and entire line Östersund–Trondheim was inaugurated by the king Oscar II in Storlien 1882. The village of Storlien is primarily a ski resort and border shopping place.
As of 2019, there are no through passenger services. SJ Norge operates regional trains from Trondheim Central Station, and Norrtåg (Vy Tåg) operates regional trains from Sundsvall Central Station via Östersund Central Station, both twice a day, connecting at Storlien. Although the Swedish railway is electrified up to the border, the Norwegian line is not, so all service to Norway must be by diesel train. There is a decision from 2013 to electrify the Norwegian railway, and contracts were awarded in 2021, with electrical services scheduled to operate from 2023/2024.
