Federico "Ricky" S. Sandoval II (born 4 May 1963) is a Filipino politician and was a former representative of Malabon–Navotas from 1998 to 2007 and the lone district of Malabon from 2016 to 2019.

Early life
Born in Navotas on 4 May 1963, Sandoval is the eldest of five children of Vicente "Brown" Sandoval, Congressman of the First District of Palawan and his wife Fidela Soteco. He studied at Saint Jude Catholic School in Manila and later went abroad to earn an engineering degree in naval architecture at the State University of New York in 1985.
 
After graduation, he was engaged in business enterprises like the Sandoval Shipyards, Inc. and Delsan Transport Lines, Inc. He also became Commander of the 201st Squadron of the Philippine Auxiliary Coast Guard and served as Rear Commodore of the Manila Yacht Club.

Political career
In his first venture into public office, he was elected Congressman in the 1998 elections, besting old political hands in Malabon and Navotas. By becoming a member of the House, he and his father were the first ever father and son tandem to serve in Congress concurrently—his father won his first reelection bid.

During his first term of office, Sandoval engaged in opposition against illegal gambling, which not only includes clandestine local operations of jueteng, but also government authorized national ventures like jai-alai and On-Line Bingo.

Sandoval has been instrumental in providing public works projects in his district like the creation of road dikes and drainage facilities, and the dredging of the Malabon and Navotas waterways to counter the perennial problem of floods. He also directed funds towards the improvement of roads and the construction and rehabilitation of school buildings for his constituents. He initiated various projects for the advancement of health and education and established a scholarship fund for poor but deserving children in Malabon and Navotas.

Perhaps one of the greatest achievements of his congressional career was his successful effort to convert Malabon into a highly urbanized city with the passage of Republic Act 9019, the Charter of the City of Malabon, ratified on 22 April 2001 in the successful plebiscite among the people of Malabon.

In 2007, after being term-limited for being representative for Malabon–Navotas district, he ran for Mayor of Navotas under the Liberal Party but lost to Toby Tiangco. He ran again this time in 2016 for Representative of the lone district of Malabon and he was successful this time, beating Tessie Aquino-Oreta in a close margin.

Personal life
On 29 July, He is married to Jeannie Ng, who is the former vice mayor and currently mayor of Malabon since 2022. He is now the current commodore of Subic Bay Yacht Club elected last 2007.

Venus and Adonis is an oil on canvas painting by Peter Paul Rubens and his studio, executed c. 1614, now in the Hermitage Museum, in Saint Petersburg. It is a version of an autograph work from 1609 now in the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf, replacing its rocky background with Venus's attribute of a golden chariot. A third version was in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum in Berlin until being destroyed during World War Two.

The main figures are by Rubens himself, whilst other areas were painted by his students, with the landscape now attributed to Lucas van Uden or Jan Wildens and the dogs by Wildens. It was in private collections in Brussels such as that of Carl de Cobenzel until 1768, when a collector sold it to the Hermitage.

The Czechoslovak 11th Infantry Battalion – East () was a Czechoslovak infantry battalion in the Second World War. It served under the British Middle East Command in the Mediterranean and Middle East Theatre.

History

Several thousand Czechoslovak soldiers served in the Battle of France. 206 Czechoslovak Army volunteers were in Beirut, Lebanon, waiting to be posted to join the Czechoslovak 1st Infantry Division in France when France capitulated to Nazi Germany. Vichy France could have interned the men and surrendered them to the German military authorities, had not the Czechoslovak Consul-General in Jerusalem secured visas for them to move to Mandatory Palestine.

The Czechoslovaks were housed in a camp at Al-Sumayriyya north of Acre. Further arrivals increased the group to 280 and it was formed into the 4th Infantry Regiment as part of the Czechoslovak 1st Infantry Division. The regiment was then transferred south to a camp at Gedera near Tel Aviv to be armed and trained. On 1 October 1940 at Gedera the regiment was reconstituted as the 11th Infantry Battalion. Lt-Col Karel Klapálek was appointed commanding officer.

In December 1940 the battalion received acclimatization training and then was posted to Egypt, where it was assigned guard duty at camps first at Sidi Bishr and then at Agami. On 30 May it was put under the command of the British 23rd Infantry Brigade and posted to Sidi Haneish near Mersa Matruh.

In June and July 1941 the 23rd Infantry Brigade, including the Czechoslovak 11th Infantry Battalion, fought in the Allied invasion of Syria and Lebanon. In August the battalion was stationed on Syria's border with Turkey.

In August 1941 the Czechoslovak government-in-exile asked for the 11th Battalion to be moved to Britain to be united with Czechoslovak forces there. The British military authorities refused, and instead on 6 October 1941 transferred the battalion from the 23rd Infantry Brigade to the Polish Independent Carpathian Rifle Brigade, which was besieged in Tobruk in Libya. The battalion served at Tobruk for 158 days, including 51 in combat.

At the end of December 1941 the battalion was withdrawn to the rear and transferred to the 38th Indian Infantry Brigade. In April 1942 the battalion was returned to Palestine and in May it was reorganised as the 200th Czechoslovak Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, with Karel Klapálek continuing as its commander.

In popular culture
The 2008 Czech film Tobruk portrays a Czechoslovak battalion in the Siege of Tobruk in 1941. The film won a Czech Lion Award.

In 1949, Billboard magazine published two charts ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in African-American-oriented musical genres.  The Most Played Juke Box Race Records chart had been published since 1945; placings were based on a weekly survey among jukebox operators.  The Best Selling Retail Race Records listing had been launched in 1948, based on a survey of record stores nationwide in which the majority of customers purchased what were then referred to as "race records".  With effect from the issue of the magazine dated June 25, the term Race Records in the titles of the charts was replaced with Rhythm & Blues.  The two charts are considered to be part of the lineage of the magazine's multimetric R&B chart, which since 2005 has been published under the title Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs.

In the issue of Billboard dated January 1, 1949, different versions of the song "Bewildered" topped the two charts: Amos Milburn's rendition was at number one on the juke box chart while the recording by the Red Miller Trio held the peak position on the best sellers listing.  The following week, Milburn's version of the song took the top spot on the best seller chart, and another of his songs, "Chicken Shack Boogie", moved up to number one on the juke box listing.  Despite the success of Miller's version of "Bewildered", it would prove to be the only charting song of his career.  Milburn returned to number one on the juke box chart in September with "Roomin' House Boogie" and was the only artist with three R&B chart-toppers during 1949.

Three records had lengthy runs at number one in 1949, each topping both the juke box and best sellers charts for ten weeks or more.  Between March and June, "The Huckle-Buck" by Paul Williams and his Hucklebuckers topped the best sellers chart for 12 non-consecutive weeks and the juke box listing for 14 non-consecutive weeks, although it would prove to be the saxophonist's only number one.  The song that replaced it at number one on both charts, "Trouble Blues" by the Charles Brown Trio, topped the juke box chart for a total of 10 weeks and held the peak position on the best sellers listing for 15 consecutive weeks, the year's longest unbroken run at number one on either chart and the longest run at number one on the best sellers chart since it launched the previous year.  Finally, beginning in October, Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five topped the juke box chart for 10 weeks and the best sellers listing for 11 weeks with "Saturday Night Fish Fry" (Parts I & II).  The final number one of the year on both charts was "For You My Love" by Larry Darnell.  The song gave Darnell, who had only been signed by a record label three months earlier, a number one with his first charting song, but his success was short-lived and his chart career lasted less than two years.

A Volume table is a chart to aid in the estimation of standing timber volume. These tables are based on volume equations and use correlations between certain aspects of a tree to estimate the volume to a degree of certainty. The diameter at breast height (DBH) and the merchantable height are used to determine the total volume. Difficulties occur when estimating the form class of the tree in question. The Mesavage and Girard form classes used to classify the trees to decide which volume table should be used. These volume tables are also based on different log rules such a Scribner, Doyle, and International ¼” scale.  In order to be effective, the proper form class must be selected as well as accurate DBH and height measurements.

History 
 
In 1804, Heinrich Cotta suggested the idea of a volume table. However, it was not carried out until 1846 when the Bavarian Government conducted an extensive study which was used to find the volume of entire stands rather than single trees.  From this, variations grew based on variables including growth rate, species, and site index.

Fundamentals

One of the most common ways to calculate volume of a standing tree or of a log is by using the Doyle log rule. This formula uses the small end diameter of a log (D) (in inches) along with the log length (L) (in feet) to estimate the volume of a log. The Doyle log rule on average under estimates the volume of a log. See formula below:

Doyle: Bd.Ft = 

Combining the Doyle log rule along with the Mesavage-Girard Form-Class, and Girard Upper-Log Taper Tables gives a quality estimation of log volume on and off stem. Using these Girard's tables one can estimate not only the first log of the tree but also the logs following the butt log.

Who is William Onyeabor? is a 2013 compilation album by William Onyeabor released by Luaka Bop. The music was compiled by Uchenna Ikonne and was the first official re-issue of his music.
Metacritic described the album as receiving "Universal acclaim" with Pitchfork citing it as one of the "best reissues" and NPR listing it as one of the best albums of 2013.

Background
The music label Luaka Bop had previously released the album World Psychedelic Classics 3: Love's A Real Thing - The Funky Fuzzy Sounds Of West Africa in 2005 while Strut Records released Nigeria 70 in the early 2000s, albums which Pitchfork described as helping "spur a revival in African music from the continent’s “Golden Age,”". Following the release of their first albums, Luaka Bop attempted to find musician William Onyeabor whose  song "Better Change Your Mind" appeared on both Nigeria 70 and Love's A Real Thing.

Information ranged about Onyeabor with the only confirmed information being that he had self-released eight albums between 1977 and 1985 before disavowing music for Christianity. Nigerian blogger Uchenna Ikonne contacted the musician in 2009, describing it as the "toughest ordeal I had ever endured in my life" and got him signed to a contract with Luaka Bop. Four years after contacting him initially, Eric Welles-Nystrom of Luaka Bop went to Nigeria to find him and got Onyeabor to accept an album to be released. Welles-Nystrom noted that compiling the music was supposed to take "a month, that was five years ago."

Release
Who is William Onyeabor? was released by Luaka Bop on October 29, 2013. Who is William Onyeabor? is the first legitimate reissue of his music. Onyeabor's music has been bootlegged while original copies can go for upwards of $500 online.

Reception

On Metacritic, Who is William Onyeabor? received an average score of 82 based on eight reviews.

The album received several nominations at the 2014 A2IM Libera Awards, a not-for-profit trade organization representing the independent music business. The nominations included "Independent Album of the Year", "Video of the Year", "Breakthrough Artist of the Year" and the Light Bulb Award.
