Road Apples is the second studio album by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. The album contains the hit singles "Three Pistols", “Little Bones,” and “Twist My Arm." During the Hip's last tour, in 2016, songs from this album were played live on a regular basis, featuring the above-mentioned songs as well as ”Long Time Running”, “Last of the Unplucked Gems”, “The Luxury”, and “Fiddler's Green.” References to many prominent figures were used, including Tom Thomson and Jacques Cousteau, as well as political situations in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The track “Fiddler's Green" was written for Gord Downie's young nephew, who died during the writing of the album. Because of the personal nature of the song, the Hip did not play it live often, but they played it on a regular basis during their final tour.
Recording sessions were held at the Daniel Lanois' personal studio in New Orleans in September 1990 on the recommendation of Colin Cripps, at the time a member of the band Crash Vegas.$^{:597}$ He said that the studio had helped establish the mood for the album Red Earth.$^{:598}$

## Title

The name of the album is a Canadian slang term for horse droppings; with allusion to the fact that along the side of a road they can be found in shape and size of apples. The album's original working title was Saskadelphia, but this was rejected by the record label as likely to confuse listeners; however, the title was later reused for a 2021 EP of previously unreleased rarities from the Road Apples sessions.

## Commercial performance

Road Apples was the band's first album to reach No. 1 in Canada. The album has been certified Diamond in Canada.

## Deluxe edition

A deluxe edition of the album was reissued in 2021 to mark its 30th anniversary. The reissue included a remastered version of the original album, the six-song Saskadelphia EP, a live concert performance recorded at the Roxy Theatre in 1991, and a disc of outtakes and demo versions of the album's songs.
The Roxy Theatre live disc was also separately released as the live album Live at the Roxy in 2022.

# Cliff Pinchbeck

Clifford Brian Pinchbeck (20 January 1925 – 2 November 1996) was an English footballer who played as a forward. He spent six years in the Football League, between 1947 and 1953, with Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion, Port Vale, and Northampton Town. He later played non-League football for Bath City and Salisbury.

## Career

Pinchbeck began his career at Scunthorpe United, before moving on to Everton. He played three First Division games for Theo Kelly's "Toffees" in 1947–48, before leaving Goodison Park for Don Welsh's Brighton & Hove Albion. He helped the "Seagulls" to finish sixth in the Third Division South in 1948–49. He left the Goldstone Ground and joined league rivals Port Vale for a £3,500 fee in November 1949.
He made a perfect start for his new club, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–0 win over Millwall at The Old Recreation Ground on 12 November. He went on to finish the 1949–50 campaign as the club's top-scorer with 16 goals in 31 appearances – twice as many goals as his nearest rivals. He hit 19 goals in 34 games in 1950–51, including one against rivals Stoke City at the Victoria Ground, to become the club's top-scorer for a second successive season. However, he was transfer-listed and dropped from the side by manager Gordon Hodgson in March 1951, and failed to turn up at the start of the 1951–52 season, claiming illness. He regained his first-team place in September 1951 under new boss Ivor Powell, and hit five goals in 13 games in 1951–52. He finally got his wish, and secured a move away from Vale Park in November 1951, when he was sold to league rivals Northampton Town for 'an undisclosed sum'.
Pinchbeck scored three goals in three league games for Bob Dennison's "Cobblers" in 1951–52. He left the County Ground. He signed for Eddie Hapgood's Southern League side Bath City in August 1953, scoring 23 goals within his first year at Twerton Park. He moved on to Western League side Salisbury in January 1955.

# Amazon leaffish

The Amazon leaffish (Monocirrhus polyacanthus), or South American leaffish, is a species of fish belonging to the family Polycentridae. It is found in the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela, where it inhabits edges of rivers and lakes, and streams. It is generally a low-density species that lives in slow-moving or essentially stagnant waters in areas with plant debris.
Amazon leaffish are sometimes kept in aquariums, but they require acidic water, low light and live prey.

## Appearance

The Amazon leaffish reaches a maximum standard length of 8 cm (3.1 in), and a total length of 10 cm (3.9 in). As suggested by its common name, it closely resembles a dead leaf. The flattened body and filament at the tip of the lower jaw (resembling a stalk) further enhances its similarity to a leaf. It is gray-brown, but can change its color to some extent. There is no lateral line and its large mouth can be protracted to as much as 60% of the head length.

## Behavior

The Amazon leaffish is highly predatory, feeding on small invertebrates (aquatic insects like mayfly nymphs and crustaceans like shrimp) and fish (especially Characids and Lebiasinids). Small Amazon leaffish mostly feed on invertebrates, while larger individuals mainly feed on fish. The prey fish are swallowed whole and they are often quite large compared to the size of the leaffish. The prey fish length is typically about 1⁄3 of the length of the leaffish, but can be up to around 2⁄3 the length. The camouflage allows the Amazon leaffish to both escape the attention of larger predators and ambush smaller prey. It swims very slowly in a head-down position, resembling a dead leaf floating in the current, to approach its prey. When near, it protracts its mouth to form a tube. The prey is rapidly sucked in, usually head-first. Prey in its stomach is often folded, allowing the leaffish to fit relatively large items.
Before breeding, the pair swims next to each other. The female lays up to 300 eggs on the underside of a rock or plant leaf, which are then fertilized by the male. The male takes care of the eggs, which hatch after 3–4 days. They are predators from the start of their lives, first feeding on tiny animals like brine shrimp and water fleas.
# Marajó Bay

Marajó Bay, the Marajoara Gulf or the Amazon Gulf, is a recessed body of water of the Brazilian coast located in the state of Pará. It is roughly 4,500 km$^2$ (1,700 sq mi) in size, and is a receptacle for the waters of the Pará River distributary channel, the waters of the Tocantins basin and the waters of the Guajará Bay, serving as the eastern aquatic border of both the Marajó Island and the Marajó Archipelago. Marajó Bay is an estuary consisting of both salt and fresh water, resulting in the classification of an estuarine system. Marajó Bay also receives sediments from the Amazon River through the Breves Channel as well as the Pará River, causing the water to be turbid.
The Pará River and a small fraction of the Tocantins River that is one of the providers of water for Marajó. The river is vital to the surrounding areas and makes different areas and ports very accessible for locals. The river also eventually clashes with salt water from the Atlantic Ocean in the Marajó Bay. A circulation process of salinity, temperature, and tidal range in the two different water types occurs in the bay as they meet. Salt water concentrations are also impacted by low water periods of the Amazon River.

## Ecology

Marajó Bay's estuarine waters provide a diverse feeding and nursery area for marine species in this ecosystem, and provides overall habitat for an estimated 108 marine species. There are many different marine species found in the Bay's waters, some examples of which are Scomberomorus brasiliensis, Cynoscion acoupa, Mugil sp. and Bagre bagre, are vital to the fishing health of locals. On the shorelines of the bay, mangroves can be found, and the general classifications of surrounding lands in "vegetation mosaics" are floodplain forests, upland forests, mangroves, and grassland. The bay provides a home to a unique variety of marine life, and mangroves in particular are vital to different life cycles of marine species such as fish or crustaceans.

## Human use

Due mainly to its size and geographic location, Marajó Bay has long been used by humans for a variety of reasons. The bay has proven to be a rewarding spot for both local, and industrial fishermen. Additionally, it is frequented by boats as a popular spot for shipping, due to its entrance at the Atlantic, and eventual deeper penetration into the mainland. Lastly, there have been past attempts in the area for fossil-fuel drillings, however they have proved futile.

# Rennie Montague Bere

Rennie Montague Bere CMG (28 November 1907 in Bere Regis, Dorset – 23 March 1991 in Plymouth, Devon) was a British mountaineer, naturalist and nature conservationist. In 1928 he became a member of the Alpine Club, London. In 1957 he became a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.

## Biography

Bere was the son of a clergyman. He was educated at Marlborough College and in 1926 entered Selwyn College, Cambridge. In 1930 he joined the British Colonial Service, went to Uganda and worked as District Commissioner and later as Provincial Commissioner for the northern Province. In 1955 he became Director and Chief Ranger of the Uganda National Parks. In 1960 he left Uganda with his wife Anne Maree, whom he had married in Uganda in 1936, and lived in retirement at West Cottage near Bude in Cornwall.
Bere published about a dozen books including The Way to the Mountains of the Moon (1966), Antelopes (1970), The Nature Of Cornwall (1982) and his autobiography A Cuckoo's Parting Cry: a personal account of life and work in Uganda between 1930 and 1960 (1990).

## Climbing and mountain exploration

In 1935, when on leave from Africa, Bere and David Cox made the first ascent of Climbers Club Ordinary on the Dewerstone in Devon, a climb which is featured in the compendium Classic Rock and was the first recorded route on the Dewerstone, a cliff which "offers the finest climbs" on Dartmoor.
During his thirty years in Uganda he accomplished many feats of mountaineering and added to knowledge of the mountains particularly of the Ruwenzori range. Bere researched many inselbergs, the Imatong range on the Sudanese border and the Virunga volcano.

# Palms station

Palms station is an elevated light rail station on the E Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. The station is located over the intersection of National Boulevard and Palms Boulevard in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, after which the station is named.

## History

Bay View was a stop on the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad. It was renamed The Palms in 1886.
The Eastlake style Palms-Southern Pacific Railroad Depot building was situated approximately 600 yards (550 m) west of the present station, on the south side of the tracks, and remained in active rail service until the closure of the Santa Monica Air Line in 1953.
Used in many motion pictures, the building eventually fell into disrepair and abandonment but was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1963. A grassroots organization, S.O.S. (Save Our Station), moved it in February 1976 to the Heritage Square Museum grounds in the Montecito Heights community of the Arroyo Seco. It now serves as the museum's gift shop and visitor center.

### Station name

Originally slated to be renamed "National/Palms" on re-opening, it remains "Palms" as a result of a request by the Palms Neighborhood Council. The council's resolution stated that:
       the Pacific Line Palms station was an important landmark on the west side of the city, and the community that grew around it is one of the oldest on the west side of Los Angeles. Our stakeholders feel the naming of the station is not only an important branding opportunity for Palms, but an opportunity for Los Angeles to reinstate a link to the history in one of its oldest and most diverse communities.
On April 25, 2013, the Metro board of directors voted in favor of "Palms" as the official name of the station.

## Service
### Station layout

The station location is adjacent to I-10, just west of the three-way intersection of National, Palms and Exposition boulevards and perched on an embankment above National Boulevard. Access is provided by stairs and elevators at the east end of the station.
Construction incorporated an existing steel bridge from the Air Line era and added a new concrete bridge, both immediately east of the station over the National/Palms intersection, as well as re-using an existing rail tunnel west of the station.

### Hours and frequency

E Line trains run every day between approximately 4:30 a.m. and 12:30 am. Trains operate every ten minutes during peak hours Monday through Friday, every twelve minutes during the daytime on weekdays and all day on the weekends after approximately 8 a.m. (with 15 to 20-minute headways early Saturday and Sunday mornings). Night service is every 20 minutes.

### Connections

As of December 15, 2024, the following connections are available:
* Big Blue Bus (Santa Monica): 5, 17

## Points of interest

# Dolmen of Guadalperal

The Dolmen of Guadalperal, also known as the Treasure of Guadalperal and as the Spanish Stonehenge for its resemblance to the English Stonehenge, is a megalithic monument dating from around 5000 BC and are thus 2,000 years older than the earliest phases of Stonehenge. in Peraleda de la Mata, a town in the region of Campo Arañuelo in eastern Extremadura, Spain. The monument is within the Valdecañas reservoir in the Tagus River and is only visible when the water level allows it.

## Description and history

The dolmen consists of 150 granite stones, called orthostats, placed in a vertical arrangement to form an ovoid chamber 5 metres (16 ft) in diameter. They are preceded by an access corridor about 21 metres (69 ft) long and 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) wide. At the end of the corridor, at the entrance of the chamber, there is a menhir about two metres high that has carving that might be a snake and several cups. It may be a representation of the river. These figures may have served as protection for the site. The chamber, of the anta type, a common construction in the west of the Iberian Peninsula, consists of 140 stones and was covered with a mound of earth and gravel. It is surrounded by another circular ring that contained the upper mound.
According to the latest research, the menhir carved with an elongated and wavy engraving is believed to be a representation of the Tagus River as it passes through the area.
The monument was discovered in 1926, during a research and excavation campaign led by the German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier between 1925 and 1927. It could have been a solar temple, and also been used as a burial enclave. Roman remains found there – a coin, ceramic fragments, and a grinding stone – indicate that at that time it was safely preserved from looting. Eleven axes, ceramics, flint knives, and a copper punch were found in a nearby dump. A settlement was also found, dating to the time of construction, which presumably housed the builders. Obermaier discovered houses, charcoal and ash stains, pottery, mills, and stones to sharpen axes.
In 1963, construction of the Valdecañas reservoir inundated the monument; and thus, it is only visible when water levels are low. Drought conditions in the last decade have exposed the monument in several summers.
The inundation has caused irreparable damage to the monument by eroding the stones and their engravings. Hugo Obermaier's team made reproductions of the engravings, which were published in 1960 by German archaeologists Georg and Vera Leisner. The Raices de Peraleda association is requesting its recovery due to the deterioration observed.
The structure was seen fully for the first time in 50 years in July 2019, when a NASA satellite photograph during a drought revealed its 150 stones.
