Burning Tower is a fantasy novel by American writers Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It is a sequel to The Burning City, set some years after that novel concluded. It was published in 2005.

Plot summary

The three main characters are Sandry, a Lord of Tep's Town, Sandry's cousin Regapisk, also a Lord, and Burning Tower, a daughter of Whandall, the main character of the previous book. Regapisk is an incompetent Lord and his family arrange for him to be shanghaied to become an oarsman on a coastal ship. Sandry and Burning Tower are romantically linked throughout the book.

Large flightless birds attack trading caravans, but Sandry fights them off. He is sent by the Lords with the caravan, of which Burning Tower is also a part, to discover the source of the birds. They travel to the southern city of Condigeo and then to Crescent City, defeating terror bird attacks along the way. In Crescent City, they are joined by Regapisk, who has escaped from his ship. The three of them travel on to the high-magic city of Aztlan, where Regapisk redeems himself.

The authors researched Aztec culture for the book, and many aspects of the culture depicted in the book are based on that research. This is explained in a brief note at the end of the book. Also mentioned is that within the described timeline, the terror birds continued to exist until long after humans spread through the Americas; this is based on the North American phorusrhacid Titanis walleri (but see McFadden et al. 2007).

Escadrille Spa.69 (originally named Escadrille N.69) was a French fighter squadron derived from one of its military's oldest aviation units. Active from September 1915 until the 11 November 1918 Armistice, the escadrille campaigned on both the Western and Italian Fronts with X Armee. It was credited with 38 aerial combat victories.

History
Escadrille Spa.69 had its origins in one of France's oldest military aviation units; BL C5 was an observation unit flying Bleriots that was attached to the cavalry. Personnel were drawn from BL C5 in September 1915 to form Escadrille N. 69, which was equipped with Nieuport fighters.

The squadron was posted to X Armee. On 28 February 1916, the escadrille moved to the Battle of Verdun. They returned to X Armee in July.

When the squadron had notched 20 aerial victories, it was Mentioned in dispatches. On 28 October 1917, the squadron accompanied X Armee to the Italian theater of operations. While in Italy, the squadron was re-equipped with SPAD fighters, changing its name to Escadrille Spa.69.

The newly outfitted squadron accompanied X Armee in its return to the Western Front, transferring on 26 March 1918. On 30 September 1918, Escadrille Spa.69 was Mentioned in dispatches a second time, credited with destruction of 34 enemy aircraft. This second citation gave the unit the right to display the Fourragere of the Croix de Guerre.

By the Armistice, Escadrille Spa.69 was credited with destroying 38 enemy aircraft.

This is a list of the seasons played by Legia Warsaw from 1906 when the club first entered a league competition to the most recent seasons. The club's achievements in all major national and international competitions as well as the top scorers are listed. Top scorers in bold were also top scorers of Ekstraklasa. The list is separated into three parts, coinciding with the three major episodes of Polish football:

1927-1939 → the Polish league structure was changing rapidly. The end of World War II marks the end of this episode.
 1948–63 → the Polish league structure without a nationwide league was maintained without greater changes.
Since 1962-1963 → the nationwide league exists.

Legia have won the national championship 15 times, which makes them the most successful club in the Ekstraklasa. The club also won the Polish Cup 18 times, making them the record holder in number of cups won. Legia is the only Polish club never to have been relegated from the top flight of Polish football after World War II.

Quintus Tineius Demetrius  was a Roman eques who is known to have held imperial appointments during the reign of the Emperor Commodus. He is known from inscriptions and surviving documents written on papyrus.

The most important appointment Demetrius held was praefectus or governor of Roman Egypt, where he is attested in office from 23 August 189 to 17 August 190. His primary concern as governor of Egypt was to safeguard the harvest and delivery of grain to the populace of Rome, but surviving documents from his administration show his responsibilities extended further. Foremost was the processing of the provincial census (apographa), which was held once every 14 years. Letters survive Demetrius wrote to one Dioskoros concerning shortages in a granary, possibly the one at Karanis.

West Bromwich Town Hall is a municipal building in West Bromwich, West Midlands, England. It is a Grade II listed building.

History
The town hall was commissioned at the instigation of the West Bromwich Town Improvement Commissioners, chaired by Reuben Farley. The site selected, known as the Lodge Estate, located on West Bromwich Heath, was purchased from the descendants of William Izon, a local iron-founder. The building, which was designed by Alexander & Henman of Stockton-on-Tees in the Italian Gothic style, was built in brick and stone by Trow & Sons of Wednesbury between 1874 and 1875. The existing reading room was converted into an enlarged council chamber in 1924 and the building was extended to create a new reading room at that time.

The American singer and pianist, Jerry Lee Lewis, performed in the town hall in 1964 and, more recently, the People's Orchestra have given regular performances.

The town hall was the headquarters of the county borough of West Bromwich and initially remained the local seat of government after Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. However, the council moved to a modern facility, known as Sandwell Council House, in  Freeth Street in Oldbury in 1989.

Description
The arches at the entrance of the building are decorated with carved heads representing the months of the year, while the corridor encircling the main hall is tiled with paving by Maw & Company of Coalbrookdale. The ceilings, the iron work, the walls and pillars have been decorated from designs by the architects and the "harmonious blending of colours, and the magnificent stencil work costing many days of artistic and patient labour, cannot be too highly praised and words can hardly express the charming effect they have produced." The main tower is  high. The fine carvings are by the local sculptor, John Roddis, and depict the labours of the 12 months of the year.

Grand Organ
The Grand Organ in the main hall was a gift from Alexander Brogden, MP for Wednesbury, in 1878. It was built by Forster and Andrews of Hull following the International Exhibition of 1862 and is one of twelve organs built for town halls up and down the country by the firm. In May 1997 the organ was awarded a certificate by the British Institute of Organ Studies (BIOS) as it was considered to be of historic importance for its musical and technical qualities. It was recorded as historic in the National Pipe Organ Register at Cambridge University. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

Gnaeus Servilius Caepio (died 174 BC) was a Roman statesman who served as Roman consul in 203 BC.

He was elected Pontiff in 213 BC, replacing C. Pupilius Maso; he became Aedile in 207, celebrating the Ludi Romani three times. In 205 he became Praetor. As consul, he was the last Roman general to fight against Hannibal in Bruttium, (South Italy); after the latter left Italy, Caepio crossed over into Sicily planning to go from there into Africa. The Roman Senate, fearing that Caepio would ignore their commands, created a dictator, Publius Sulpicius Galba Maximus, to recall him. Later on, in 194 BC, he was sent as a legate to Carthage, causing Hannibal's exile to the court of Antiochus III the Great the Seleucid Emperor.
Then in 192 BC, he was sent as a legate into Greece to rile up the Roman allies in a potential conflict with Antiochus the Great.

Cnaeus Servilius died in 174 BC, during a great epidemic.

Marie Reynoard, born in Bastia (Haute-Corse) on October 28, 1897, and died in Ravensbrück (Germany) on January 30, 1945, was a heroine of the Grenoble Resistance during the Second World War.

Biography 
A brilliant student, she joined the prestigious École normale supérieure de jeunes filles (Sèvres); in 1921, she taught in Cahors and then in Marseilles, before being appointed in 1936 to the Lycée Stendhal in Grenoble.

Despite fragile health that forced her to take rest cures in the mountains, she joined the Resistance in 1940 by founding the resistance movement Vérité. During a trip to Marseilles, she met Henri Frenay, leader of the National Liberation Movement. She brought together the first resistance fighters in Grenoble in her small apartment at 4 rue Joseph-Fourier. At the end of November 1941, in the presence of Henri Frenay and François de Menthon, the Vérité et Liberté movements merged under the name of French Liberation then Combat, which also became the name of the clandestine newspaper of the network.

She then took over the departmental leadership of the Combat movement. Marie Reynoard began by distributing leaflets from Lyon.

Arrest 
Reynoard was arrested in May 1943 in Lyon by Jean Multon, a collaborator of Klaus Barbie at the Gestapo.

Tributes 
In Grenoble, a commemorative plaque at the Lycée Stendhal, where she taught, has been installed, as well as at her home.

A kindergarten and an avenue in Grenoble bear her name since 1968, a residence for students since September 2013. Also bear her name in the Grenoble region, a high school in Villard-Bonnot and the hall of the eco-district of Gières since 2016.

A school in Bastia (Haute-Corse), her birthplace, bears her name.
