La Múcura (the earthenware jar, :es:múcura) is a traditional Colombian cumbia song.

Composition 
Rhythmically, the song is an example of a cumbia or Afro-Caribbean rhythm that may have originally been used for courtship rituals among Africans.  The word cumbia itself may be related to cumbé, a Kongo word meaning "noise" that may be at the root of other Spanish words as well, viz. "cumbancha," a noisy party.

Lyrics 
The lyrics begin:
La múcura está en el suelo, mamá, no puedo con ella. Me la arrebató una estrella..

It was composed by Cresencio Salcedo a flute player who also composed Mi cafetal, and has received many recorded versions. In 1948 by Los Trovadores de Barú for Fuentes, then in 1950 entering Mexican cinema in versions by Ninón Sevilla and Pérez Prado. Little Jug by Johnny Martin 1950 was an English-lyric version.

The song's lyrics are an example of double entendre ("doble sentido" in Spanish) in Hispanic popular song, according to social scientist Marcelino Canino Salgado. The image of the broken water jug (el cántaro roto) is an old and common metaphor for the loss of virginity in Latin and Latin American culture. The word "múcura" was once thought of as having precolombian origins but it is in fact of likely Kikuyu origin. Its meaning, in Colombian Spanish, is the same as "cántaro", namely, a clay jug.

GSA Advantage is an online government purchasing service run by the General Services Administration (GSA).

GSA Advantage is an online shopping and ordering service created within the GSA for use by government agencies to buy commercial products and services. Its mission is to provide a streamlined purchasing portal for federal agencies to acquire goods and services.

The service is intended to benefit any federal agency that has access to the GSA Advantage program; however, two federal acts have also allowed state and local governments to access and purchase from this service. Section 833 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act authorizes the Administrator of General Services to provide state and local governments the use of GSA's Federal Supply Schedules for the purchase of products and services to be used to facilitate recovery from a major disaster, terrorism or nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack. Section 211 of the E-Government Act of 2002 authorized GSA sales of IT products and services to state and local governments through the introduction of cooperative purchasing.

In 2021, The Intercept and video surveillance industry publication IPVN reported that GSA Advantage listed products in non-compliance with the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, including re-branded products manufactured by sanctioned entities such as Dahua Technology and Hikvision.

Atlantic Express was an operator of transit buses, paratransit and school buses in the United States, specializing primarily in school bus service, while operating transit buses in New York City. At the time of its closure, Atlantic Express was the fifth largest school bus operator in the United States and Canada, behind First Student/First Student Canada, Durham School Services, Student Transportation of America, and the New York City-area Metropolitan Transportation Authority's bus division (to which Atlantic Express had been a contractor).

Bankruptcy
In late 2013, Atlantic Express declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Part of the Bankruptcy was that Atlantic Express lost approximately 100 buses due to the devastating Superstorm Sandy on October 29, 2012. In order to help with replacing the damaged buses, Bird Bus Sales had a 100 bus emergency order that consisted of 100 2014 Blue Bird Visions that would be donated to Atlantic Express so they would not have to waste a single penny to pay for the buses.

In New York City, Atlantic Express operated two express bus routes under contract to the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the X23 and X24 from Staten Island to Manhattan, sharing the same fare structure as all express buses operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The operating rights to these routes were awarded to Academy Bus in bankruptcy proceedings, although most of the coach fleet was excluded from the sale.

Under the name Hudson Rail Link, Atlantic Express had operated ten bus-to-rail shuttle routes in The Bronx, under contract to Metro-North, to Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil stations on the Hudson Line. The Hudson Rail Link contract was awarded to Logan Bus Company in bankruptcy proceedings.

School bus service

In addition to fixed route service, Atlantic Express also served approximately 104 school districts in five states with yellow school bus service, primarily in the Northeast. Atlantic Express at its peak had operations in twelve states, but had significantly downsized and had exited the mid-western and southwestern United States, and Florida well before its closure.  

Many school bus providers took over the contracts and bought the buses that Atlantic Express had serviced following its bankruptcy filing. These companies are, but are not limited to:
 Adelwerth Bus Corp.
 All American School Bus Corp.
 Allied Transit Corp.
 Baumann Bus Company
 Bella Bus Corp.
 Brooklyn Transportation Corp.
 Consolidated Bus Transit
 Educational Bus Inc.
 Empire State Bus Corp.

Oenanthe sarmentosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name water parsley. It is native to western North America from Alaska to California, where it grows in wet areas, such as streambanks. It is sometimes aquatic, growing in the water. The plant has been used in cultivation in wetlands, and the recent discovery of several colonies growing by a stream in Illinois demonstrates its capacity to become a noxious weed if it is introduced elsewhere. This is a perennial herb growing to a maximum height near 1.5 meters. The leaves have blades up to 30 centimeters long borne on petioles up to 35 centimeters in length. The parsley-like leaf blade is divided into serrated, lobed leaflets. The inflorescence is a compound umbel of many flowers with bright white to red-tinged petals.

Narcissus 'King Alfred' is a cultivar of daffodil which originates in the county of Devon, United Kingdom. The cultivar is named after English king of the Anglo-Saxons, Alfred the Great.

Description 
Narcissus 'King Alfred' is a bulbous perennial plant, which emerges in the spring. Leaves are green, narrow and strap-shaped. Stems possess single flowers, which are 10cm wide and golden yellow in colour. The perianth segments are slightly twisted and the trumpet is cylindrical with a serrated rim. Plants grow up to 40cm tall.

History 
The first step towards the cultivars creation was taken by a former solicitor known as John Kendall, who lived in Newton Poppleford. He is credited for successfully cross-pollinating Narcissus 'Emperor' and Narcissus 'Maximus' together before his death in 1890. The seedlings were then developed further by Walter Hill. Walter worked for John Kendall's son, Percy Kendall who owned both the market garden of Newton Poppleford and a florist shop in Sidmouth. Walter rented a property in the village where he painstakingly bred the daffodil, which would go on to be known as Narcissus 'King Alfred'.

In 1899 Percy Kendall brought Narcissus "King Alfred" before the Narcissus Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. At its first showing it was instantly recognised for its "best large yellow trumpet" and awarded the highest award of a First Class Certificate. It was originally registered in Kendell's name and was introduced into commercial distribution in 1900. At that time a single bulb from the cultivar would be sold for 10 guineas each.  In 1910 Percy died and Walter took over the rights to the daffodil he had bred. Walter became one of Newton Poppleford's biggest employers selling "King Alfred" daffodil bulbs and flowers throughout the United Kingdom. During the flowering period of Narcissus 'King Alfred', hundreds of blooms would be sent by train to London. The sale of flowers and blooms continued after Walters death in 1935.

Narcissus 'King Alfred' remained popular up until the 1950s, when new Narcissus cultivars with larger blooms, better form and better performance began to be distributed. By the beginning of the 1950s, bulb production of Narcissus 'King Alfred' had dwindled to the point where it is seldom seen in cultivation outside of specialized nurseries by the 21st century. This is largely due to the fact similar looking cultivars such as 'Dutch Master' are being falsely sold under the iconic name of 'King Alfred'. Many daffodils are also marketed and sold as "improved King Alfred" or "King Alfred type", which further causes confusion in the cultivars cultivation.

Genetics 
Narcissus 'King Alfred' possesses 28 chromosomes. Narcissus species such as Narcissus hispanicus, Narcissus bicolor and Narcissus pseudonarcissus are all present in the cultivars ancestry.  Despite having multiple hybridizations in its ancestry, 'King Alfred' is both seed and pollen fertile and has been used to produce various lesser known daffodil cultivars.

Owen McCann (26 June 1907 – 26 March 1994) was a South African cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and journalist. He served as Archbishop of Cape Town from 1950 to 1984 (the first year as Apostolic Vicar) and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1965.

Biography

Owen McCann was born in Woodstock in Cape Town, and studied at Saint Joseph College in Rondebosch, University of Cape Town, and Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on 21 December 1935. In 1941, he became editor of "The Southern Cross", South Africa's national Catholic newspaper, and held this post until 1948; he again became editor in 1986, this time for a five-year period. He did pastoral work in Cape Town from 1948 to 1950.

On 12 March 1950, McCann was appointed apostolic vicariate of Cape Town and titular bishop of Stectorium. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 18 May from Archbishop Martin Lucas, SVD, nuncio to South Africa. Upon Cape Town's elevation to a diocese on 11 January 1951, McCann was appointed Archbishop of Cape Town, the first of metropolitan rank. Between 1961 and 1974, he served as President of the Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference (SACBC). McCann attended the Second Vatican Council, at which he was elected to the Commission for Bishops and made four written and four oral submissions in his own name and five written ones as president of the SACBC.

McCann was created cardinal priest of Santa Prassede by Pope Paul VI in the consistory of 22 February 1965, becoming the first South African to receive the red hat. He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the August 1978 papal conclave, which selected Albino Luciani as Pope John Paul I, and the October 1978 papal conclave, which selected Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II. McCann was reportedly a supporter of Giovanni Benelli at the latter conclave, but still gave his praise to the newly elected Wojtyla. Cardinal McCann retired as Archbishop of Cape Town on 20 October 1984.

He died on 26 March 1994 at age 86, and is buried in the archdiocesan cathedral. President Nelson Mandela, in an official condolence statement on the following 28 March, described Cardinal McCann as "one of South Africa's great sons" and "a man of great ability and wisdom".

Coffee production in the Dominican Republic is based mainly in the mountain regions of the country, in the  highlands which form at least one-half of the area of Hispaniola. Introduced to the country in 1715, the Dominican Republic bean is larger and thicker than Martinique's. The major coffee variety grown in the country is Arabica (known internationally as “mild”). Robusta is also grown but only in about 1.3% of the land area; it is consumed locally.

History
Coffee was first introduced in the Dominican Republic in 1715 and has been the principal crop of the small scale farmers. Coffee began to be exported circa 1872.  In the early 20th century, the crop was cultivated in all the Cibao, principally in the district of Puerto Plata. The exportation of coffee from the Dominican Republic in 1900 amounted to . Important coffee areas in 1918 were in Moca, Santiago and Baní, with approximately 66% of the crop exported from Puerto Plata.

The area under coffee plantation was  (about 3% of land under farming), but since 1981 the area cropped has substantially declined, but the production level has remained generally the same due to the adoption of modern technological inputs.  There are five major coffee producing regions, four of them being in the hilly region – the Central Mountain Region, the Northern Mountain Region, the Neyba Mountain Range, and the Bahoruco Mountain Range. There were 40,000 to 50,000 farmers operating in this sector.

Production
In 2013, according to FAO statistics, coffee production was , which was about 0.1 percent of world production. It was grown in an area of  with a yield of  per ha.
