History
The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) was the official organization responsible for the running of all amateur sports in the United States, established in 1888. The AAU was officially charged with the organization and operation of many sports in the US.  During this time, Karate was one of the committees in the organization and was not an independent governing body.

The Amateur Sports Act of 1978 enabled the governance of sports in the U.S. by organizations other than the AAU.  This act made each sport set up its own National governing body (NGB). Each of these governing bodies would be part of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, but would not be run by the Committee. Thus, The USA Karate Federation was born.

USA National Karate-do Federation is the latest of previous organizations to claim to represent Karate in the United States. USA National Karate-do Federation replaces USA Karate Federation.

On April 24, 2021, the USOPC sent a demand letter to the USA-NKF for immediate reform and adoption of accountability measures. An investigation ordered by the USOPC found numerous actual and perceived conflicts of interest which show bias in favor of certain dojos' athletes. The USOPC has warned the USA-NKF their NGB status could be revoked if they fail to implement reforms.

Biography
A native of Aichi Prefecture, Sugiura graduated from the 46th class of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in 1918. He was ranked 81st out of 124 cadets. He served his midshipman duty aboard the cruiser , and after commissioned as an ensign he was assigned to the battleship  and cruiser .

Sugiura returned to school, and became a torpedo and naval artillery expert. As a sub-lieutenant, he served on the   and the destroyer , and as lieutenant, he was executive officer and chief navigator on the destroyer . After graduation from the Naval War College (Japan) in 1930, he was promoted to lieutenant commander. He was given his first command: the destroyer , on December 1, 1930. He subsequently captained the  in 1931. He held a number of staff positions through the 1930s, including that of instructor at a number of the naval ordnance schools, and was commander of Destroyer Group 5 in 1939.

Sugiura was promoted to captain on November 15, 1940, and assigned command of Destroyer Group 17 shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Sugiura became commander of Destroyer Group 4 (, flagship, ,  and ) on February 20, 1943, and was thus in a central role in the Battle of Vella Gulf from August 6–7, 1943.

On the night of August 6, Sugiura's force carrying 950 troops and supplies for New Georgia was ambushed by US Task Group 31.2 (, , , , , and ). All four Japanese destroyers were hit. Hagikaze, Arashi and Kawakaze burst into flames and were quickly sunk by gunfire. The torpedo that hit Shigure was a dud, damaging the rudder only, and she escaped in the darkness.  The many Japanese soldiers and sailors left floating in the water after their ships sank refused rescue by the American destroyers.  Over 1,000 Japanese troops and sailors were lost. During the battle, Sugiura's flagship destroyer was sunk, but Sugiura survived.

Sugiura was appointed captain of the cruiser  on December 1, 1943. He was killed on May 16, 1945, when his ship was sunk by Royal Navy warships during the Battle of the Malacca Strait off Penang, Malaysia. He was promoted to vice admiral posthumously.

Meow is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by Chinnas Palanisamy and starring a persian cat named Jenny in the lead role along with Raja, Sanjay, Hayden, Kumar and Urmila Gayathri.

Plot

Cast

Production 
This was the first time a cat played the lead role in a Tamil film. The makers of the film bought a cat named Jenny for the film and used computer graphics for anything that the cat cannot do.

Music 
The music for the film was composed by Sreejith Edavano.

Reception 
Thinkal Menon of The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and said that "The director has attempted to bring difference to a done-to-death plot by giving importance to a cat. Though the idea isn't bad, the poor quality of the computer graphics and ineffective screenplay let down the entire film". Chitra Deepa Anantharam of The Hindu mocked the film and said that "Those of you who withstood the last 30 minutes, may you come across an empty ATM loaded with cash or at least get change for Rs. 2000". On the contrary, Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express opined that "With 112 minutes of running time, Meow is a watchable and an engaging entertainer". A critic from Samayam said that the film could be enjoyed if you overlook the minor glitches. Critics from Dinamalar and Maalai Malar criticised the age-old storyline.

Xam Neua (, , sometimes transcribed as Sam Neua or Samneua, literally 'northern swamp'; ), is the capital of Houaphanh Province, Laos, in northeast Laos.

History 
After fleeing from Phrae, deposed king Phiriya Thepphawong escaped from Northern Thailand to Luang Prabang, residing in Xam Nua from 1903-1909.

Demographics
Residents are mostly Lao, Vietnamese, and Hmong, with some Tai Dam, Tai Daeng, and Tai Lu. The predominant language is Lao with minorities of Vietnamese and Hmong. French is spoken by a minority of people as a legacy of the French colonial era. It is taught in schools and used in public works and government.

Daily life

Xam Neua is in a valley in Houaphanh Province. At 05:45 and 17:45 each day there are public addresses from loudspeakers atop a tower on the school playground, expounding on communist life and philosophy. These addresses are usually accompanied by Lao music.

It is said that there is a communist re-education camp in Xam Neua and that it was the Pathet Lao capital during the Laotian Civil War Battle of Lima Site 85 (LS-85), 11 March 1968. It is near the Pathet Lao refuges in the Viengxay caves, which the Lao government hopes to promote as a tourism destination similar to the Củ Chi tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and the Killing Fields Memorial near Phnom Penh in Cambodia. It is near Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area (pronounced "naam et poo loo-ee").

Islands of Space is a  science fiction novel by American writer John W. Campbell Jr. It was first published in book form in 1957 by Fantasy Press in an edition of 1,417 copies.  The novel originally appeared in the magazine Amazing Stories Quarterly; the text was "extensively edited" for book publication, with Campbell's approval, by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach. A paperback edition was published by Ace Books in 1966. In 1973, Islands was included in a Doubleday omnibus of all three "Arcot, Wade, and Morey" novels. A German translation appeared in 1967 as Kosmische Kreuzfahrt, and an Italian translation was published in 1976 as Isole nello spazio.

Islands of Space is generally credited with introducing the concepts of hyperspace and the warp drive to science fiction.

Plot introduction
Islands of Space is  a sequel to The Black Star Passes.  It concerns the adventures of four heroes: Arcot, Morey, Wade, and Fuller. It is followed by Invaders from the Infinite.

Reception
Theodore Sturgeon, reviewing the Fantasy Press edition, wrote "This is a real lousy book", faulting its lack of characterization, suspense, and plot, and a writing style "such as would dry up the purple blood of the sleaziest fan magazine". "BUT --", he continued, "Islands is a voyage far afield and a catalogue of the marvels of other-where, ... a cornucopia of technological and mechanistic matter, both real and extrapolated, poured out prodigiously and with abandon, [and] a narrative which could not occur without its science -- the purest, and almost the rarest form of science fiction." Sturgeon concluded, "It is high time and past time for [science fiction] to infuse itself with the rich hot blood of the old space-opera".

P. Schuyler Miller wrote that the book version "has been carefully modernized, [but] it's old-fashioned now. It is also very characteristic of the best "hard" science fiction of its day." This is the first published use of the term hard science fiction.

E. F. Bleiler described the original text as "Greatly overloaded with unnecessary (although at times ingenious) exposition, hence almost unreadable; weak novelistically; and clichéd in its action plot."

The finial was from Holman and Sons foundry at St Just. The blacksmith’s work was done by Mr. Richards of Hayle. The stone for the church came from the Tregenhorne quarry. The dressed stone was Breage granite. Corsham stone was used for the arcades and the choir screen, which includes courses of Polyphant stone. The font is entirely of Polyphant stone. It was consecrated on 9 October 1888.
