Philippe Gomès (born 27 October 1958) is a New Caledonian politician and, from 5 June 2009 to 11 March 2011, President of the Government of New Caledonia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. He served as a member of the National Assembly from 2008 until 2022.

Biography 
Gomès was born in Algiers, Algeria. He was appointed by the Congress of New Caledonia after the provincial election held on 10 May 2009. He is backed by a wide coalition of the four main loyalists (i.e. anti-independence) parties that control 36 of the 54 seats in the Congress, now political allies after having fought each other during the campaign : The Rally–UMP, Caledonia Together (Gomès' party), Future Together and Movement for Diversity. In the Government, 7 of the 11 members come from those pro-France parties.

A former member of RPCR (older name of The Rally–UMP and historical anti-independence party in New Caledonia), Gomès left it in 2004 to found with others dissidents (like Marie-Noëlle Thémereau or Harold Martin) the Future Together (Avenir ensemble) party that defeated RPCR in the provincial election on 9 May 2004. Then, Philippe Gomès became president of the South Province, by far the most economically developed and most urbanized part of New Caledonia. After a conflict between him and some members of the party, including Harold Martin or Didier Leroux, he entered again in dissent, leaving Future Together to create his own movement called Caledonia Together (Calédonie ensemble).

He was also mayor of La Foa, a rural commune on the West Coast of Grande Terre (the main island of the archipelago), from 1989 to 2008. In this village, he notably created an annual film festival, the first and the only one in New Caledonia. Its first president was the French film director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and among his successors have included Claude Pinoteau, Jane Campion, Claude Brasseur or Patrice Leconte.

Since March 2011, he served in the New Caledonia Government, as minister for Transfers of civil security, civil and commercial rules, and of civil status.

On 17 June 2012, he was elected as member of the National Assembly of France in the 2nd constituency of New Caledonia. He joined the Union of Democrats and Independents group in the National Assembly, chaired by former minister Jean-Louis Borloo.

In the 2022 legislative election, Gomes lost his seat in the National Assembly for New Caledonia's 2nd constituency to Nicolas Metzdorf.

Reservation of use and occupancy (abbreviated ROU or RUO) is an arrangement in US law that allows for residents to continue to use and/or occupy their property for a certain period after selling that property to the US government.  It is typically provided in exchange for a reduction in the purchase price of the property, and is commonly used when expanding national parks and wilderness areas that are in close proximity to residential areas. RUOs are also sometimes provided to businesses operating in areas acquired for wilderness protection. Provisions governing RUOs are found in several different portions of Title 16 of the United States Code, depending on the specific park or other protected area involved.

RUOs are often incorrectly referred to as "leasebacks", although residents make no payment to the government during their period of allowed occupancy.

The National Park Service, the most common custodian of RUO property, contends that it does not have the power to modify the length or other terms of an RUO, because it is a direct arrangement between the resident and the US government.

Port d'es Torrent is in a small cove within the bay of Sant Antoni Bay. The beach is on the northern seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. Although it is but a short distance from Sant Antoni, it is in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Platja d'es Torrent is  north west of Ibiza town, and  west around the bay from Sant Antoni. In 2012 Port d'es Torrent is one of the 12 blue flag beaches on the island.

Description
This small bay gets its name from the seasonal stream which originates on the slopes of Sa Talaiassa, the highest point on the islands, and runs down to its terminus in this small cove. Platja Port d’es Torrent is at the western end of the Bay of Sant Antoni. In the summer season, the beach is patrolled by lifeguards. The beach is made up of fine gold sand and slopes very gently into the shallow water at the head of this cove. The water at the mouth of the inlet is deeper and gives a good opportunity for diving and snorkelling.

The area around the Port d'es Torrent has a small amount of developed land at the back of the beach, which consists of villas and low-rise hotels and apartments. There are several restaurants and bars in the vicinity, including one on the beach.

The Rexim-Favor submachine gun is a Swiss submachine gun developed by the Rexim Small Arms Company of Geneva in 1953.  Originally known as the 'Favor', it received very little sales or use, but has become of note today for being the base of props used in the science fiction films Star Wars and Alien.

History
Some say Rexim stole this design from the French. Whatever is true, the Rexim-Favor is a design that got very little interest, sales, or use, and then the company failed in 1957. The design was sold to the Spanish, of whom it is believed to have made the original contract for the design.  The Spanish tried to sell it under the name of the La Coruña, with no takers.  The only known service use was by the Turkish, who called it the M-68, and still use it to this day in small numbers.

Design details
Despite its low sales, the gun was well made, chiefly of pressings.  It had a quick-release barrel, and the magazine is identical to the German MP 40.

The chief interest of the Favor was that it fired from a closed bolt—that is, the round was fed into the chamber by the action of the cocking handle and remained there until pressure on the trigger allowed the firing pin to go forward.  Motive power was provided by two coiled springs, one working inside the other with an intermediate hollow hammer, and looking exactly like an old-fashioned three-draw telescope.  When the trigger was pressed the depression of the sear released the hammer which went forward under the force of the large outer spring, struck the firing pin, and fired the round.  Normal blowback then followed until the cycle continued.

The basic problem with the Rexim-Favor is that it was an old design, very heavy and clumsy, being more of a carbine than a submachine gun.  It was also thought that the firing mechanisms were too complicated for a submachine gun, where simplicity is an important factor. The Rexim-Favor can mount a bayonet and use NATO rifle grenades, but at a weight significantly greater than even most assault rifles, few wanted it.

Film use
The Rexim-Favor was used as a prop in George Lucas' 1977 film Star Wars, produced by 20th Century Fox and filmed in Elstree Studios in Great Britain. The barrel, stock, and magazine were removed and a low-powered scope was added, and it was first used as a pistol in several preproduction photos of an Imperial Stormtrooper. Similar versions of the prop later made their way into the film itself, being wielded by Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba in the Cantina scene.

Two years later in 1979, the movie Alien (also produced by Fox) was being filmed in Britain. The Rexim-Favor was also used as the pistol carried by Kane, Dallas and Lambert when in their space suits, and may even be a recycled version of one of the props from Star Wars.

Edmonton/Villeneuve Airport or Villeneuve Airport  is located  west of Villeneuve in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada.

History
The airport opened in 1976, and was built by Transport Canada as a flight training facility. In 2000 the airport was purchased by Edmonton Airports.

Expansion
The closure of the Edmonton City Centre Airport has stimulated expansion of the Villeneuve Airport as a partial replacement. Its land base is growing from , the instrument landing system is being upgraded, the number of hangars is increasing from 15 to 21, and one runway has been extended to . Villeneuve will serve as an alternate to the Edmonton International Airport for medevac flights during stormy weather.

Alberta Aviation Museum presence
Due to space constraints at the former City Centre Airport site, the Alberta Aviation Museum's Boeing 737-200 in Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) livery C-GIPW (Fleet #745) was restored to operational capability and, on 29 November 2013, was flown to Villeneuve. The 737 can be used by security agencies for training, movie productions, and aircraft pulls.

Edmonton Airshow
The award-winning Edmonton Airshow has operated from the Villeneuve Airport for four years in a row. The airshow keeps growing, now attracting up to 40,000 visitors a year. The shows remains fresh with the acts changing up year after year. Static displays and food services are growing.

Edmonton Economic Development Corporation gave the airshow the 2017 Outstanding Event award at the Edmonton Events Award Gala for the 10,000+ category, beating out Professional Bull Riding, the Canadian Finals Rodeo, and the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. In 2019 the Royal Canadian Air Force Association gave the show producer the J.A.D. McCurdy Award in recognition of outstanding and praiseworthy achievement by a Canadian in the field of civil aviation.

Menahem Mendel ben Abraham Krochmal (c. 1600 – 1661) was a Moravian rabbi born in Kraków.  His teacher in the Talmud was Joel Sirkes, author of Bayis Chadash. Krochmal soon distinguished himself so highly that with the permission of his master he was able to open a yeshiva, which sent forth scholars like Gershon Ashkenazi (afterward his son-in-law), and Menahem Mendel Auerbach, author of Ateres Zekeinim. The Jews of Cracow, in appreciation of his learning, made Krochmal dayan.

About 1636 Krochmal left his native city and went to Moravia. He was appointed rabbi of Kremsir, where he also founded a yeshivah. In 1645 he returned to Cracow; in the following year he became rabbi of Prossnitz; and in 1650 he accepted a call to the district rabbinate of Nikolsburg.  He died in Nikolsburg on January 2, 1661.

Krochmal's son Aryeh Leib, who followed him in the rabbinate at Nikolsburg, published from his father's manuscripts the collection of responsa Tzemach Tzedek (Altdorf, 1775). Often it is mistakenly catalogued as being printed in Amsterdam due to the Hebrew acronym.

Tan Cottage is a Grade II listed building in Plympton, Devon, England. It stands in Plympton's main street at 49 Fore Street, behind numbers 45 and 47, and dates mainly to the 17th century, when it was used as a tannery.

It has painted rubble walls, and a dry slate roof over two storeys. A large projection on its western elevation is believed to be the original lateral chimney stack.

The building was the focal property of Time Team during their visit in 1999.

In the interior, during renovations, a granite corbel was discovered, part of an older wall sitting behind the modern one. The lintel that it supported stretched into the adjacent property to the north, which continued up to Fore Street and the marketplace. During demolition of the property's shed, the top of a moulded granite window with at least two lights was discovered. The head of each window had a trefoil, and given that the top of the window was flat, not rounded, it was thought to be from a domestic building, of some standing, rather than ecclesiastical. Plymouth city archaeologist Keith Ray believed the stone came from the Hurdwick quarry at Tavistock Abbey, at nearby Roborough, which was active from the 12th century.
