# Maryland County

Maryland County is a county in the southeastern portion of Liberia. One of 15 counties that comprise the first-level of administrative division in the nation, it has two districts. Harper serves as the capital with the area of the county measuring 887 square miles (2,300 km$^2$). As of the 2022 Census, it had a population of 172,202, making it the ninth most populous county in Liberia.
Named after the State of Maryland in the United States, it was an independent country as the Republic of Maryland from 1854 until it joined Liberia in 1857. The most populous city in the county is Pleebo, with 22,963 residents, while Maryland's County Superintendent is Nazarine Tubman. The county is bordered by Grand Kru County to the west and River Gee County to the north. The eastern part of Maryland borders the nation of Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), separated by the Cavalla River.

## History

Maryland was first established as a colony of the Maryland State Colonization Society in 1834, but was not granted independence until 1854. The Maryland Society had played a pivotal role in the formation of the larger American Colonization Society years before. Following a referendum in 1853, the colony declared its independence from the Colonization Society across the Atlantic Ocean and formed the Republic of Maryland. It held the land along the south coast between the Grand Cess and San Pedro Rivers.
In 1856, the Republic of Maryland requested military aid from nearby Liberia in a war with the Grebo and Kru peoples who were resisting the Maryland settlers' efforts to control their trade in slaves. Liberian President Joseph Jenkins Roberts assisted the Marylanders, and a joint military campaign resulted in victory. Following a referendum in February 1857 the Republic of Maryland joined Liberia as Maryland County on 6 April 1857. As of May 2004, a DRC census estimated the county's population to be 107,100.
During the 1970s, Maryland County was terrorized by ritual killings. The crimes have been regarded as "Liberia's most notorious ritual killing case" due to the number of murders, the involvement of high-ranking government officials, and their subsequent public executions.

## Districts

Districts of Maryland County include (2008 population):
* Harper District
* Barrobo District

## Details

Farming is the main economic activity in Maryland County, accounting for the employment of approximately 60% of residents. Rice and cassava are the main crops raised in the county. It is roughly estimated that about 98% of the county's population is Christian, 1% Muslim, and 1% Animist.
The flag of Maryland County consists of a drawing of a tree and a lighthouse on a cliff with a small Liberian flag in the upper left corner.
In 2007, WBAL-TV in Baltimore produced a documentary special titled Africa's Maryland, which focused on this region and its cultural roots in the American state of Maryland. After the documentary aired, the state signed a sister state agreement with Bong and Maryland counties.
# Miracle (Nonpoint song)

"Miracle" is a song by the American nu metal band Nonpoint, released as the first single from their sixth studio album, Miracle. The song was released to alternative and active rock radio stations on February 15, 2010. It was also made available for download on iTunes and other online music retailers on March 30. It features Chad Gray of Mudvayne fame contributing vocals during the song's chorus.

## Meaning

Elias Soriano explained the meaning of the song saying "I wrote this song as a gigantic 'Fuck You' to all those that doubted this band's will and perseverance. It's for all the naysayers that tried to lead us into defeat, and the fans that have stood behind us for over ten years. It set the tone for the whole record. We're here to wage war on the airwaves, and to stop us is going to take a fucking miracle."

## Music video

The song video was directed by Dale "Rage" Resteghini, whose credits include videos for Anthrax, Fall Out Boy, Lil Wayne, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Soulja Boy, and many others. Rage says, "Elias Soriano and I have known each other for a number of years but never had the chance to work together. When he sent me 'Miracle', I was blown away as I think this is one of, if not the best song Nonpoint has ever recorded.

# Pisciotta

Pisciotta is an Italian town and commune in the province of Salerno, region of Campania.

## History

According to legend, Trojans escaping from the fire and the destruction of their city, Troy, founded Siris. Some of the inhabitants of the city later advanced westwards, following the vast valley of the Sinni river, up to the lake and to the Sirino mountain (from which they took the name), near present-day Lagonegro, where they founded the city of Siruci (now called Seluce). From here, they went to the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the beach of the Gulf of Policastro. Here they founded the colony of Pixous. This event is shown in a rare series of ancient coins, in archaic characters, with the names of Sirinos and Pixoes inscribed, referring respectively, to the populations of the two cities of Siris and Pixous, respectively. The name "Pixous" comes from the root "PYX", which derives from the Greek word for boxwood (present in the coat of arms of Pisciotta town hall).
In the year 194 BC, the Greek word pixous became corrupted to the Latin Buxentum.
In AD 915, when the town was plundered and burnt by the Saracens of Agropoli, the town's name had already changed to Policastro. Many of the fleeing Bussetani went beyond the promontory of Palinuro, where they founded a small village that they called Pixoctum, in memory of their lost town. Over the years the name had changed many times - Pixocta, then Pissocta, then Pichotta and finally Pisciotta.
The name of Pisciotta is found in the Catalogus Baronum (1144). The year 1464 marked for the country a very important development, when the survivors of Molpa, following the destruction of their village, were sheltered in Pisciotta. Until the abolition of feudality in 1806, Pisciotta was owned by the Caracciolos (1270), the Sanseverinos (15th century), the Pappacodas (from 1590).
Beginning in 1996 (or so) Pisciotta became host for a summer study-abroad program conducted through SUNY Purchase College.

## Geography

Located on a hill above the coastline of Cilento and its port and marina, Pisciotta lies on the national highway 447 between Ascea and Palinuro. The municipality borders with Ascea, Centola and San Mauro La Bruca; and counts the hamlets (frazioni) of Caprioli, Marina di Pisciotta and Rodio.

# Bob Epple

Robert "Bob" Epple (November 18, 1948 – April 13, 2011) was an American attorney and politician from California and a member of the Democratic Party.
Epple first ran for elective office in 1980, when he challenged entrenched GOP state senator Bill Campbell in what was then a safe Republican district.
He then served as an elected member of the Cerritos College Board of Trustees from 1981 until 1988, when he ran for the California State Assembly.
Epple challenged incumbent assemblyman Wayne Grisham (R-La Mirada) in the 1988 election. Democrats considered Grisham vulnerable after he lost a special state senate election the year before against then Norwalk councilman Cecil Green within roughly the same geographic area. With help from Sacramento Democrats and Speaker Willie Brown, Epple narrowly defeated Grisham.
Reelected easily in 1990, Epple had a much tougher time in 1992, when he opted to run in the newly drawn 56th Assembly District, based around Cerritos, Bellflower, Downey and part of Long Beach. Although he represented a portion of the new district before reapportionment, he had to move there to seek reelection, mainly to open up a his old Norwalk-based 63rd district (which had been redrawn as a majority-Latino district) for a Latino candidate. He faced conservative businessman Phil Hawkins, in what became one of the most expensive California legislative races that year. Epple managed to only barely beat Hawkins by 542 votes. When they faced off in a rematch two years later, Hawkins beat Epple by more than 10 points in a strong year for Republicans nationally.
In 2004 Epple's wife Cheryl, then an elected member of the Cerritos College Board of Trustees, died suddenly of a heart attack. He replaced her on the board and was reelected in 2005 and 2010.
On April 13, 2011 Epple died after a long battle with leukemia.

# Muriel Binney

Muriel Mary Sutherland Binney born Muriel Hasler (December 26, 1873 – May 11, 1949) was an Australian painter and inventor. She won a silver award for a 19 metre long painting at an international exhibition in 1908 and a silver medal for her inventions in 1929 at the International Exhibition of Inventions.

## Life

Muriel Binney was born in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda in 1873. Both her parents, Emily (born O'Shannessy) and George Henry Massey Hasler were born in Ireland and involved with photography.
Among the 16,000 exhibits by women from around Australia in the vast 1907 Australian Exhibition of Women's Work in Melbourne organised by the Governor General's wife, Lady Northcote, work by Binney was included, beside paintings by Portia Geach, Eirene Mort, Dora Serle, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and Agnes Goodsir.
Binney's entry was a huge, almost twenty-metre-wide, mural titled "Sydney Harbour Foreshores at Sunset" which was an entry for the "Best original design for a frieze" in a strongly contested class of 23 other artists. Fletcher comments that 'Muriel Binney's panoramic painting Sydney Harbour Foreshores at Sunset is an example of women's art in an era when maritime painting was dominated by men.'
On the 16 October 1907 she registered for copyright the design of "Sydney Harbour Foreshores at Sunset". She had originally made the watercolour for her own home but then realised that the image might be licensed as a basis for a wallpaper design.
Her work went on to the Franco-British Exhibition in London, where it won the silver prize in 1908. Another entry was a wooden dining set carved by sixty people including members of The Society of Arts and Crafts of NSW and designed by Susanne Gether.

## Inventor

Binney was awarded several patents for inventions including a folding cot (1908), a leg prosthesis, and a shoe-stand. Her husband had not supported her interest in inventions. He died in 1927. In 1929 she was in Britain where she presented her ideas to the British Society of Inventors. Some were included in the International Exhibition of Inventions and she was awarded a silver medal. She entered again in 1930 and it was reported that some of her ideas were to be manufactured.

## Legacy

Binney died in Parramatta mental hospital in 1949. Her frieze of Sydney harbour was kept by her family in storage. It became part of the Australian National Maritime Museum's collection and in the Museum's 1994/5 annual report is identified as 'the year's largest single conservation project,' sponsored by the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation for 640 hours of work by paper conservators when it was prepared for exhibition in their What About Women? program. Repairs had to be made to sections of the frieze to replace parts cut out around door frames when it was displayed in Binney's home. In 2002 it was included in the Sydney by Ferry exhibition at the Museum of Sydney.
# Boatshed

Boatsheds are generally lockable wooden sheds, often brightly colored, that were originally built to securely store small private boats and bathing materials directly on beaches. They are similar in appearance to beach huts (or "bathing boxes"), with the main difference being an integrated boat launching ramp directly to the beach (although some ramps have been replaced with steps, reflecting changes in usage). Many boatsheds also incorporate heavy-duty winches, which are used to winch a boat up from the water and back into the boatshed.
Boatsheds are typically around 6.2 m long × 3.0 m wide × 2.4 m high, which is somewhat larger than local bathing boxes (typically only 2.4 m long × 2.0 m wide × 2.0 m high). Boatsheds have a roof pitch of around 30°, which is somewhat shallower than the 35° roof pitch of local bathing boxes.
Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay in Victoria, Australia, are currently home to about 1860 boatsheds, bathing boxes and similar structures.

# Kue cucur

Kue cucur (Indonesian) or kuih cucur (Malay), known in Thai as khanom fak bua (ขนมฝักบัว, pronounced) or khanom chuchun (ขนมจู้จุน or จูจุ่น), is a traditional snack from Indonesia, and popular in parts of Southeast Asia, includes Indonesia, Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore. In Indonesia, kue cucur can be found throughout traditional marketplaces in the country; the popular version, however, is the Betawi version from Jakarta. In Brunei and Malaysia, the term cucur is generally used to refer to any type of fritters. A popular type of cucur in Brunei and Malaysia is Jemput-jemput (also known as Cokodok) and Pinjaram (also known as Kuih cucur gula merah/melaka).

# Cannon A waves

Cannon A waves, or cannon atrial waves, are waves seen occasionally in the jugular vein of humans with certain cardiac arrhythmias. When the atria and ventricles happen to contract simultaneously, the right atrium contracts against a closed tricuspid valve, resulting in back pressure into the venous system that can be seen in the jugular venous pulse as a high-amplitude "cannon wave". It is associated with heart block, in particular third-degree (complete) heart block. It is also seen in pulmonary hypertension. Cannon A waves may also be seen in ventricular tachycardia due to the inherent AV dissociation of the arrhythmia.
This wave will cause pulsation in the neck and abdomen, headache, cough, and jaw pain.
