# Emblem of Meghalaya

The Emblem of Meghalaya is the symbol used to represent the government of the state of Meghalaya, India.

## History

The current emblem was adopted on 19 January 2022 as part of the state's golden jubilee celebrations. The design by P. Mario K. Pathaw was chosen following a state-wide competition that attracted 198 entries. Previously the state used a seal based on the emblem of India for official purposes.

## Design

The emblem is a circular seal depicting the following features:
* Three mountain peaks forming the shape of the letter M which represents the Khasi, Jaintia and Garo hills that make up the state
* Clouds which allude to the name of the state which means "abode of clouds"
* Three monoliths to represent the three main tribes in the state, the Khasi people, Jaintia people and the Garo people
* A traditional wangala festival drum
* Traditional Rikgitok and Paila beaded necklaces
* The words “Government of Meghalaya” in the English language

## Emblems of Autonomous District Councils in Meghalaya

There are three autonomous district councils in Meghalaya which have each adopted distinct emblems to represent themselves.
* Garo Hills Autonomous District Council
* Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council
* Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council

## Government banner

# White-Preston House

The White-Preston House is a historic First Period house in Danvers, Massachusetts. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and clapboard siding. Its main entrance is sheltered by a gable-roofed portico. The oldest portion of the house, its front right, dates to about 1722, with the front rooms on the left added soon afterward. In the 19th century the rear of the house was either rebuilt or enlarged to be a full two stories in height, and the house was given a modest Greek Revival stylistic treatment.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
# The Fire and the Wind

The Fire And The Wind is the final album of the New Zealand heavy metal band Demoniac, the only one to be recorded following their relocation to London. The black metal sound of the previous two albums was almost completely eschewed on this recording, with only vocalist Behemoth's shrieking vocals alluding to the genre. The music is otherwise very similar to DragonForce, the band Heimdall and Shred would go on to form after Demoniac's split.
The note progression in the DragonForce song Soldiers of the Wasteland's first sung portion is very similar to the note progression from 2:26 to 2:45 in the song The Eagle Spreads Its Wings.
The chorus of the song "Myths of Metal" included the words Sieg Heil and "Hitler Metal", which resulted in the album being banned in Germany, despite the band's apologetic explanation that the song was in tribute to 1980s German thrash metal.

## Track listing

* The Eagle Spreads Its Wings – 4:56
* Daggers and Ice – 8:54
* Demoniac Spell – 7:01
* Night Demons – 0:57
* Demons of the Night – 5:06
* Myths of Metal – 3:39
* Sons of the Master – 3:30
* The Fire And The Wind – 8:44

## Personnel

# The Floppy Show

The Floppy Show is an American children's television series starring Duane Ellett, broadcast on NBC affiliate WHO-TV in Des Moines, Iowa from 1957 to 1987. Ellett created Floppy in early 1957 to help teach people how to take care of their pets on the TV show Pet Corner, before moving on to their own show.

## Overview

Duane Ellett entertained children with his puppet friend Floppy, a high-voiced beagle that enjoyed riddles and let kids beep his nose for luck. Ellett had carved Floppy himself from balsa wood, and brought him and his other puppet characters to life through self-taught ventriloquism.
Duane Ellett and Floppy went on the air June 9, 1957. Prior to the show, Ellett had served in the U.S. Army in World War II. He had planned to become a lawyer when he started attending Drake University, but a class in radio journalism led to a job with WHO radio in 1947.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the half-hour show consisted of short sketches with Ellett's puppets, a segment in which children asked Floppy riddles, and the airing of vintage Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry cartoons. Ellett also took Floppy on 200 personal appearances every year.
On August 30, 1984, WHO-TV canceled Ellett's afternoon show because of faltering ratings. Ellett and Floppy continued to appear on WHO's noon news and on weekend mornings. Ellett died in 1987.
The riddle that children most often asked of Floppy on the show was, "Why did the man put the car in the oven?" And the answer almost always was, "Because he wanted a hot-rod." Floppy never got it right and he never tired of hearing it.

## Specials and DVD release

Since the show's cancellation, WHO-TV has aired the Floppy Christmas Special, produced in 1966 on Christmas Eve. The special features the adventures of Floppy escaping the daily grind of his afternoon show. There are currently four DVDs released in the Duane and Floppy series.

## Legacy

In 1994, a special display honoring Ellett and his puppet was exhibited at the Iowa Historical Building, where Floppy now resides. In 2013, it was announced that the Iowa State Historical Society was intending to put the puppet in storage. The display will be taken down on June 9, 2013. This date also happens to be Floppy's 56th "birthday". A Facebook group called "Save Floppy!" created an online petition to keep the original version of the Floppy area on public display. As of July, 2013 Museum spokesman Jeff Morgan was noncommittal about restoring the Floppy exhibit to public display, saying, "Right now the museum's just beginning to help determine what the exhibit rotations will be in the long term."
The Iowa State Historical Society presented a retrospective "Duane and Floppy Film Festival" in 2009 and again in 2010.
On August 6, 2013, it was announced that Floppy would be on display at the 2013 Iowa State Fair from August 8 to the 18th. As of 2015, Floppy now resides at the Ankeny Area Historical Society's museum.

# John B. Paolella

John B. Paolella (born February 14, 1949) is an American Republican Party politician who served in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature from the 38th district– one term in the New Jersey General Assembly and one term in the New Jersey Senate.
Born in Hackensack on February 14, 1949, Paolella attended Bergen Catholic High School and graduated from Harvard University in 1971. He received a J.D. degree from Seton Hall University School of Law and was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1976. He served as a legal advisor to then-Assemblyman W. Cary Edwards.
In his first bid for the Legislature, Paolella and Republican running mate Louis F. Kosco defeated incumbent Democratic Assemblymen Robert Burns and Paul Contillo. After serving one term there, Paolella ran for the Senate in 1981 and defeated incumbent John Skevin. Paolella served a two-year term in the Senate before being defeated for reelection in 1983 by Contillo who went on to serve for eight more years in the Senate and a second brief stint in the Assembly in 2013.
Paolella later moved to Bay Head and got involved in local politics there. In 2014, running on a Republican ticket with fellow Bergen County transplant Steve Lonegan, he ran for a seat on the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders seeking to defeat long-time incumbent Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. Vicari ultimately defeated Paolella nearly 76%–24%.
# Living It Up! with Ali & Jack

Living It Up! with Ali & Jack is a syndicated daytime television talk show that aired from September 2003 to April 2004, hosted by Alexandra "Ali" Wentworth and Jack Ford, based out of New York City.
The show was conceived as a competitor to WABC/Disney-ABC Domestic Television's Live with Regis and Kelly, which has dominated mid-morning television since its national premiere in 1988. Ali & Jack was produced by King World (now CBS Television Distribution), and the syndicator tried to copy Regis and Kelly's plan of airing on almost all of WABC's fellow ABC owned and operated stations, and strong local stations in other markets. Viacom (King World's parent at the time) cleared Ali & Jack on their CBS and UPN O&O's, and in New York took Regis and Kelly head-on at 9 AM on WCBS.
Ali & Jack started at its debut airing in at least 60% of the U.S. However, the show failed to pick up any steam in the ratings, receiving critical drubbing from the start because of what critics noted were too many similarities to Regis and Kelly, and what they saw as an apparent lack of chemistry between Ford and Wentworth. Some stations would move the show to late at night to stem their losses (out of the intended mid-morning berth), and others would drop the show altogether even before cancellation or send it to air on weaker sister stations. In other markets the show never aired at all. The show also struggled with backstage strife and being unable to book strong guests, who were usually snapped up by the network morning shows, Regis and Kelly, and The View.
Ali & Jack ended up being the lowest-rated new series in all of syndication for the 2003-04 TV season, and the show was cancelled by April 2004, through reruns continued until August 2004.

* Gandara Park
* Ishihara Park
* Virginia Avenue Park

## Name and history

The name "Bergamot Station" dates back to 1890, and was a stop and car storage area on the steam powered Los Angeles and Independence Railroad from Santa Monica to downtown Los Angeles, as well as the subsequent Santa Monica Air Line on the Pacific Electric trolley system until 1953.

## Vehicle maintenance facility

Expo Phase 2 included a maintenance facility for Expo light-rail vehicles. This facility performs shop-related activities, including servicing, cleaning, inspecting, and repairing LRT vehicles. It also includes a yard with a storage capacity of up to 45 LRT vehicles.
Several locations for this facility were proposed and evaluated, including the "Verizon site" (land just east of Bergamot Station, between Stewart Street and Centinela Avenue) and the Bergamot Station site. Many residents of the surrounding Stewart Park neighborhood opposed the use of the Verizon site, who feared the project would create noise and another environmental impact. The use of the Bergamot Station site was opposed by artists at Bergamot Station, who successfully argued that Bergamot had become an irreplaceable resource for the west coast art community.
The City of Santa Monica and Expo built the facility on land which includes the Verizon site, as well as land that was a parking lot owned by Santa Monica College. They believe that with this "hybrid site", most environmental impacts from the facility were properly mitigated.

The Whitehouse Block is a historic commercial building at 188 Water Street in downtown Augusta, Maine. Built in 1865, it is one of a series of four Italianate commercial buildings built in the wake of a devastating 1865 fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

## Description and history

The Whitehouse Block stands on the west side of Water Street, Augusta's principal commercial downtown thoroughfare, just south of its junction with Bridge Street. It is the southernmost of a series of four three-story brick Italianate commercial buildings, running south from that corner, which share a common roof line. The building has a projecting modillioned cornice, quoining at the corners, and a storefront with recessed entry. Second floor windows have rounded hoods and bracketed sills, while those on the third floor have more elaborate hoods.
All four of these buildings were built beginning in 1865, after a fire devastated Augusta's downtown. This building was designed by Francis H. Fassett, Maine's preeminent architect of the time, and was built for O.C. Whitehouse, a dry goods merchant. He operated his store out of the building's second floor, while the first floor had as early tenants the Augusta Savings Bank and the United States Pension Agency. The third floor was occupied by fraternal societies. The building continues to see commercial use.
