# Sea-Doo

Sea-Doo is a Canadian brand of personal watercraft (PWC) and boats manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP). All Sea-Doo models are driven by an impeller-driven waterjet. All Sea-Doo PWC models are produced at BRP's plants in Querétaro and Juárez, Mexico. Its Rotax engines are produced at BRP's plant in Gunskirchen, Austria. In 2016, Sea-Doo had a 45.8% share of the PWC market in the US.

## History

Bombardier introduced its first personal watercraft in 1968, called the Bombardier Sea-Doo. It was designed by Clayton Jacobson II, who would later develop the more successful Kawasaki Jet Ski watercraft. Also heavily involved was Bombardier's Laurent Beaudoin, who was interested in expanding the success of the Ski-Doo snowmobile to the PWC market. Advertised as the "Jet-powered Aqua Scooter", the original yellow Sea-Doo was 5 feet wide and 7.5 feet long, somewhat resembling a flying saucer. In 1968, it was powered by an air-cooled, 320cc engine with a top speed of 25 mph. Following complaints of overheating and inefficiency, it was replaced in 1969 with a water-cooled 372cc engine. There were common complaints about discomfort from its flat seat and minimally-padded Ski-Doo supplied stainless steel handlebars. After only two years on the market, it was discontinued.
The Sea-Doo was re-introduced in 1988 as its own brand under Bombardier. By 1995, annual sales for the Sea-Doo reached over 100,000 units, signaling a turnaround in the company's declining sales. By 1997 the company had $212 million in sales, recapturing over half of the PWC market. In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sea-Doo personal watercraft converted into explosive unmanned surface vehicles were used to attack Russian naval vessels at the Sevastopol Naval Base.

## Models

There are five categories of Sea-Doo models: Recreation, Tow Sports, Touring, Sport Fishing, and Performance.
The Sea-Doo jet-powered sport boats included a four-seater Sportster 150 with 155 hp or 215 hp, a four-seater Speedster 150 with 255 hp, and a seven-seater Speedster 200 with 310 hp, and a Speedster 230 with space for up to twelve people. The Wake 200 model was made for wakeboarding and the two Challenger models were less sporty and more luxurious: a smaller Challenger 180 and a larger Challenger 210. In 2012, BRP discontinued sport boat production, citing a decline in global sales in the marine industry. This meant the loss of 350 jobs, including most of those at a plant in Benton, Illinois.
The Sea-Doo Spark which was released in 2014 was aimed to attract new buyers to the decreasing PWC market. This model was in development for eight years and was code-named CAFE (clean, affordable, fun, and easy to use). It used a unique polytec hull and deck structure to cut costs and weight. The Spark quickly became the best-selling Sea-Doo model.
In August 2021 they released a Pontoon boat style boat called the Switch.
# The Rest of the Best

Now our audience can listen through all B sides in chronological order and it’s a pure joy to reminisce all the way back to 1993. It’s almost like a forgotten record, or rather four. We hope you’ll enjoy the 13 year ride!
In 2019, the six studio albums of the Cardigans were remastered and in February of that year UMG reissued them on vinyl. The remasters also appeared on streaming platforms. In the following year, the band continued touring and enjoyed a resurgence in popularity due to their song "Step On Me" becoming viral on TikTok.
In February 2024, test pressings of a compilation of the band with the working title The Rest of the Best started appearing on Discogs and were later posted by the band on social media. In July, the compilation was officially announced and made available for pre-order.
The volume was compiled by the Cardigans and remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in New York City. The artwork is a collage of photographs of the band taken by Martin Bogren.

# Pierre Nouailhetas

Pierre-Marie-Élie-Louis Nouailhetas (17 December 1894 – 1985) was a French naval officer who served as the governor of French Somaliland from 7 August 1940 until 21 October 1942 during World War II.

## Life
### Before Somaliland

Nouailhetas was born at Cercoux on 17 December 1894, the second son and child of Louis Nouailhetas, an engineer officer in the navy, and Marie-Anne-Françoise Bertet. He entered the École Navale in 1913. He received two citations during World War I (1914–18). In 1925, he left the navy to join the colonial service. His first posting was as an adjutant (adjoint) at Lạng Sơn. In 1927, he was promoted the rank of administrator (administrateur) in charge of Tuyên Quang Province. He later served as chief of staff (chef de cabinet) to the governor of Cochinchina and then administrator of Bến Tre Province and Cần Thơ Province (1933–36). Between 1936 and 1939 he was the secretary-general (secrétaire général) to the Governor General of Indochina.

### Governor of Somaliland

In August 1940, following the fall of France, he was named by the Vichy government to replace Gaëtan Germain as governor of French Somaliland. He flew into the colony, already threatened with a British interdict, on 2 September. On 18 September the British established a blockade and on 25 September they bombed the capital, Djibouti, from the air. This resulted in Nouailhetas instituting a brutal reign of terror. Europeans suspected of contact with the enemy were interned at Obock, while 45 others were condemned to death or forced labour, mostly in absentia. On 7 May 1941, Nouailhetas issued circular letter No. 457, which ordered any native caught carrying a message from Allied forces to be shot by a firing squad. That month, six illiterate Somalis were shot without trial as "Gaullist traitors" to set an example.
On 8 June 1941, the British gave Nouailhetas an ultimatum: they would lift the blockade and provide one month's worth of provisions if the colony declared for De Gaulle; otherwise the blockade would be tightened. Nouailhetas wrote to British authorities in Aden on 15 June about the high rate of infant mortality owing to malnutrition in the territory, but he rejected their terms. When negotiations resumed with Nouailhetas later in the summer, the British offered to evacuate the garrison and European civilians to another French colony upon surrender. Nouailhetas responde that he would destroy the colony's railroads and port facilities before surrendering. All these negotiations came to nothing.

### Retirement

In September 1942, on account of reports of his brutality and intractability, Nouailhetas was recalled to Vichy and forced to retire without a pension. Following the war, he escaped to Portugal. During the post-war Épuration, he was sentenced to death in absentia. He returned to face a military tribunal and was acquitted on 17 July 1953, which sparked outrage in Djibouti. He died in obscurity in 1985.

# Hessians Motorcycle Club

The Hessians Motorcycle Club or Hessians MC is an American "one-percenter" or outlaw motorcycle club.

## History

The Hessians Motorcycle Club was founded on March 7, 1968, in Costa Mesa, California by Thomas F. Maniscalco, a motorcycle enthusiast who would later become an attorney and convicted murderer. The club would soon expand across the nation's western seaboard and in 1972, they claimed to have around 500 members across the United States.
The club's logo features a sabre-pierced skull over an Iron Cross, and their colors are black and white.
The documentary film Hessians MC was released in 2005. It runs for 75 minutes and was produced by Guerilla Docs and directed by Randall Wilson. Bill Hayes, an author who has written extensively about motorcycle clubs, called it "one of the most acclaimed film documentaries on the biker culture".

## Criminal allegations and incidents

Club founder Maniscalo was convicted in 1994 for the 1980 murders of Richard Rizzone, Rena Miley, and Thomas Monahan, all associated with the Hessians. The prosecution said that the killings were the result of a dispute about methamphetamine sales and counterfeiting. He served a total of nearly 39 years in jail and then prison after his conviction, until being released in 2023 after a terminal cancer diagnosis. Maniscalo denied his guilt. According to the club, Maniscalo died later in 2023.
In 1994, eight members of the Hessians MC were arrested on drug and weapons charges following a series of raids in California that were conducted by federal, state, county and local law enforcement agencies. The crackdown stemmed from an 8-month investigation into the club, in which ATF agents infiltrated the group's 20-member mother chapter.
# KCLA (Arkansas)

KCLA (1400 AM) was an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, United States. The station was most recently owned by Community Broadcast Group Inc., and the broadcast license held by M.R.S. Ventures, Inc. When it went off the air permanently in early 2007, KCLA broadcast programming from Fox Sports, Westwood One, Hog Sports Talk, and ESPN Radio in a sports radio format branded as "The Fan, SportsRadio 1400".

## Ownership

In April 2002, Tyler, Texas, based Community Broadcast Group Inc., through its MRS Ventures subsidiary, purchased four Pine Bluff radio stations from the Deane family's SeArk Radio and Delta Radio of Pine Bluff. Delta Radio, owned by W.M. "Buddy" and Helen Deane, sold AM station KOTN. SeArk Radio, owned by their daughter Dawn Deane, sold FM stations KPBQ-FM and KZYP plus AM station KCLA. KOTN sold for a reported for $350,000 and the other three sold for a combined $1.05 million.
Buddy Deane moved to Pine Bluff from Baltimore, where he had hosted a dance-show known as The Buddy Deane Show, in 1964. (This show was parodied as the Corny Collins Show by John Waters in the film Hairspray.) Deane retired from broadcasting in May 2003 after completing the sale of his family's radio stations and died shortly thereafter in July 2003.
In June 2006, the station's owner, Jerry D. Russell, suffered a stroke. The station was being operated by another broadcaster, Hodges Broadcasting LLC, under a local marketing agreement but that operator was unable to obtain the financing to purchase the station. With Hodges gone and Russell unable to operate the station himself, KCLA went off the air for good in early 2007. In a February 2011 letter to the FCC, the owner indicated that he was surrendering the station's broadcast license as well as the licenses for ten sister stations in similar dire circumstances. On May 2, 2011, the station's license was cancelled and the KCLA call sign assignment was deleted permanently from the FCC database.
