Ekornavallen is an ancient burial ground in the Falköping Municipality in Sweden. It contains a variety of ancient monuments dating from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.

Overview
The Ekornavallen burial ground is located 15 km (9 miles) north of the city of Falköping. It contains four passage graves and a gallery grave from the Neolithic period, as well as cairns, stone circles, twelve standing stones, eight round stone settings and one triangular stone setting all dating from the Bronze and Iron Ages. It is estimated that the field was used over a six to seven thousand-year period.

Girommen passage grave
The largest, and best known, of the Neolithic passage graves at Ekornavallen is one called the "Girommen" which according to early writers means the giant oven. It consists of sandstone slabs, but the mound which once covered the grave is entirely gone. Between the lower passage and the chamber proper lies a very large and thick slab, the "Key stone", resting on the passage stones. The grave was restored in the 1940s when a fragment of a chisel, some amber slivers and some ornate potsherds were found.

Other structures
Among the other structures at Ekornavallen is a probable stone cist. During its restoration a flint knife was found in the surface layer. The cairns at Ekornavallen probably date to the Bronze Age. The largest cairn has a diameter of more than 20 metres, is 2 metres high, and is surrounded by large kerb stones. The individual standing stones ("bautastones"), mark the Iron Age graves at Ekornavallen, and they are placed in an almost straight line from the north to south. The stone circles are of a type common in Sweden which were typically built in the five hundred years up to 500 AD. Their function is uncertain.

A brown ribbon is a type of award given to winners of various contests. At county and state fairs in the United States, a brown ribbon is the award for placing eighth in a contest. In Nazi Germany, the "Brown Ribbon" was an annual July horse race run in Munich from 1934 to 1944.

Usage as an awareness ribbon

Brown ribbons also represent anti-tobacco and colorectal cancer (brown is the alternate color, dark blue is the official colorectal cancer ribbon color).

Brown ribbons have also been proposed by comedian George Carlin, meaning "Eat shit motherfucker", as a cynical response to the preponderance of other ribbons as symbols of political or social movements.

Internet comedy blogger Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half has suggested her fans wear a brown ribbon to raise awareness of her blog, as well as to support 'terminally adult people all over the world'.

P. J. O'Rourke has indirectly suggested a brown ribbon campaign to fight diarrhea:
"Political means could be used to prevent almost all deaths from childhood diarrhea.  Diarrhea is spread by contaminated water.  Public sanitation is, like personal security, national defense, and rule of law, one of the few valid reasons for politics to exist.  Lowly, semicomic diarrhea kills 2,866,000 people a year worldwide, 2,474,000 of them children under the age of five.  This is ten times the number of people who die from AIDS.  But no one is wearing a brown ribbon on his tuxedo lapel at the Academy Awards or marching up the Mall in Washington carrying a sign reading DIARRHEA -- IT CAN BE CONTAINED."Brown ribbons are worn in South Africa in protest against farm attacks. These brutal attacks targeting farmers increases every year (South African Farm Attacks).

Rhapsodie for saxophone and orchestra, L.98, also known as Rhapsodie mauresque or Rhapsodie orientale, is a piece for alto saxophone and accompaniment by Claude Debussy. Completed in solo and piano form in 1911, the piece is most well known through its 1919 orchestration of the accompaniment by Jean Roger-Ducasse.

History 
Commissioning a number of composers such as André Caplet and Vincent d'Indy, in 1901 American saxophonist Elise Hall had requested Debussy to compose a piece for the saxophone. During the process of composition, Debussy is noted to have not looked favorably upon the abilities of either Hall nor the saxophone, and did not work on the commission for months. After a number of visits by Hall to Paris, Debussy had given her a score of Pelléas et Mélisande and continued working on Rhapsodie. Debussy had finished the piece's sketches in 1908, but had resumed and completed the saxophone and piano score in 1911, eventually sending the score off to Hall.

After Debussy's death in 1918, Jean Roger-Ducasse orchestrated the piano accompaniment for a full orchestra in 1919. Rhapsodie eventually premiered on May 14, 1919, at the Salle Gaveau by the Société nationale de musique, conducted by André Caplet. Rather than Elise Hall, who at the time of the premier had become entirely deaf, Pierre Mayeur had played the solo saxophone part during the first performance.

Instrumentation 
Jean Roger-Ducasse's orchestration calls for:

 Solo alto saxophone
 3 flutes (one doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, cor anglais, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons
 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba
 Timpani, triangle, tambourine, cymbals
 Harp
 strings

Crocus sieberi, Sieber's crocus, also referred to as the Cretan crocus or snow crocus (as is Crocus chrysanthus), is a plant of the genus Crocus in the family Iridaceae. A small, early blooming crocus, it easily naturalises, and is marked by a brilliant orange which is mostly confined to the stamens and style, fading through the bottom third of the tepal. It grows wild generally in the Balkans and Greece, especially in the island Crete. There are four subtypes: sieberi (Crete), atticus (Attica area around Athens), nivalis and sublimis. Its cultivars are used as ornamental plants. Height: .

Subspecies
There are four subspecies of C. sieberi.

 Crocus sieberi subsp. sieberi - Native to Crete: flowering in April. The white flowers with yellow throats stand up to  8 cm, the outer surfaces of the flowers are marked with varying degrees of purple. The branched styles are deep orange or yellow.

 Crocus sieberi subsp. atticus  - Native to the Attica region of Greece, it has lilac-blue or violet flowers with yellow throats.  The corm tunics are more coarsely netted than the other subspecies.  It is found growing in stony areas in the mountains and in woods and scrub areas usually above 1000 meters, with flowering occurring from March to June.

 Crocus sieberi subsp. sublimis - Native to the Peloponnese,  southern Albania, Macedonia, and also found in southern Bulgaria,  has pale lilac flowers with pale yellow throats. 

 Crocus sieberi subsp. nivalis - Native to the Peloponnese with lilac-blue flowers that have yellow throats.

Uses
Crocus sieberi is cultivated in gardens as an ornamental plant for its flowers. It has also been used as food; in Greece the corms are eaten raw -  with the flavor said to resemble hazelnuts. In Turkey, the leaves are eaten as greens.

Cultivars
Examples: 
'Bowles's White' (white with orange centre) 
'Firefly' (lilac)
'Hubert Edelsten' is a cross between Crocus sieberi subsp. sieberi and Crocus sieberi subsp. atticus.   (outside deep purple with broad white bands, inside pale lilac with orange center) 
'Ronald Ginns' (pale pink to white petals with dark purple feathering on the outside and a yellow throat)
'Tricolor' (gold centre, middle white band, outer rich lilac-blue edge)
'Violet Queen' (deep amethyst-violet flowers, paler within, with a rich, golden centre)
Crocus sieberi subsp. sublimis forma tricolor burtt. - from Mt. Chelmos in the northern Peloponnese. Plants are more variable than the cultivar 'Tricolor', with bright lilac flowers that have bright orange throats and a white band.   

The cultivars marked  have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Brace Beemer (December 9, 1902 – March 1, 1965) was an American radio actor and announcer at radio station WXYZ (AM), Detroit, Michigan.

He is best known as the radio voice of the Lone Ranger.

The Lone Ranger
Brace Beemer became the third radio voice of the Lone Ranger on April 18, 1941, after the death of Earle Graser and remained so until the series' last new episode on September 3, 1954. During the 13 years that Beemer played the title character, he was required by contract to restrict his radio acting to that one role until the program left the air. 

The experienced and popular Western film actor, Clayton Moore, was chosen to take over the role for the television series. Although Beemer had the right voice and had made many public appearances as the Ranger, he had no experience as a film actor, as he preferred radio and live performing to television. However, Beemer's voice as the character was so familiar that Moore imitated his sound in the earliest TV episodes.

Other roles
Beemer also portrayed Sergeant William Preston of the Yukon on Challenge of the Yukon, for a brief time after the Lone Ranger series ended.

Beemer's last TV appearance was an interview with former film actor Bill Kennedy on his Bill Kennedy Showtime program on CKLW TV9 from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Beemer died the next day.

Early years
Brace Bell Beemer was born at his home on Cherry Street in Mount Carmel, Illinois on December 9, 1902, the son of Joseph D. Beemer and Bertina (Bell) Beemer.

He attended high school in Vincennes, Indiana, leaving school to enlist in the military.

When Beemer was 14, he misrepresented his age to participate in World War I. He served with "Battery E, 150th field artillery, and was wounded in action in France May 27," 1918. He was said to be the youngest sergeant in that war.

Later years
Beemer resided in Oxford Township, Michigan. He raised thoroughbred horses on his 300-acre ranch, Paint Creek Acres.
The barn where the great white stallion Silver used to stay still stands, and it’s rumored that the horse was buried in the woods on the property.

Death
Brace Beemer died of a heart attack March 1, 1965. He is buried in White Chapel Cemetery in Troy, Michigan. At the time of his death, he was using his famous "Lone Ranger" voice in automobile commercials running on radio stations.

François Renaud (5 March 1923, – 3 July 1975) was a French judge whose murder in 1975 led to much speculation, but was never solved. He was the first judge in France to have been assassinated since World War II. His death inspired the French film Le Juge Fayard dit Le Shériff (1977), directed by Yves Boisset.

Life
Renaud was born in Hao Giang, Tonkin, Vietnam. The son of a doctor, and descendant of an aristocratic lineage one of whom was physician to King Louis XV, he studied first in Toulouse and then in Lyon, before joining the French Resistance in Laives in 1943. After the war, he served in the colonies before returning to Lyon in 1966, where he was appointed principal judge of the palais de justice in 1972. He was married with two sons.

Death 
He was shot with three bullets from a Geco.38 special (two into the neck at close range) by three killers in a car on 3 July 1975 at 2:42 in the morning, before his house, la Vigie, located at 89 montée de l'Observance, in 9th arrondissement of Lyon. The crime was investigated by Georges Fenech. The killers have never been formally identified though strong suspicions exist.

His tomb, located in the cemetery of Père-Lachaise, was desecrated in April 2007.

Pomander Walk is a cooperative apartment complex in Manhattan, New York City, located on the Upper West Side between Broadway and West End Avenue.  The complex consists of 27 buildings.  Four buildings face West 94th Street, and another seven face West 95th Street, including one with a return facade on West End Avenue. The "Walk" itself, consisting of two rows of eight buildings facing each other across a narrow courtyard, runs through the middle of the block between 94th and 95th, with a locked gate at each end.  Each building originally had one apartment on each floor.  In recent years, some buildings have been reconfigured to serve as single-family homes.

Pomander Walk is different in style and out of scale with the tall buildings that surround it.  Author and former resident Darryl Pinckney called it "an insertion of incredible whimsy" into the Upper West Side. It is not open to the public and visit is by invitation only.

History

The complex is named for  Pomander Walk, a romantic comedy by Louis N. Parker that opened in New York in 1910.  The play is set on an imaginary byway near London.  The place as built bears a tenuous resemblance to the setting described in the play as "a retired crescent of five very small, old-fashioned houses near Chiswick, on the river-bank. ... They are exactly alike: miniature copies of Queen Anne mansions".   

New York City's Pomander Walk is Tudoresque, a style that enjoyed a vogue in America in the years following World War I.
The Walk is not a mews, though often so-called, having no history as a stables.  The buildings may fairly be described as Storybook Houses, an architectural trend of the 1920s in England and the United States.

Pomander Walk was built in 1921 by nightclub impresario Thomas J. Healy who planned to build a major hotel on the site.   According to city historian Christopher Gray, when Healy was unable to get financing for a hotel, he built the houses that stand on the site today, apparently to provide a temporary cash-flow while he waited to raze them and build the hotel. It was designed by the New York architecture firm King and Campbell. Healy died in 1927, however, so Pomander Walk remained.

By the 1970s, the complex was rundown and at risk of being demolished. However, it was saved with a City, State, and National Historic Landmark designation in 1982  after tenants banded together to block redevelopment.   An earlier application for City Landmark status had been rejected in 1966.

In 2009 the owners completed a four-year facade renovation, restoring architectural details that had been lost for decades.  In 2008 Landmark West! bestowed their Building Rehabilitation Award on Pomander Walk.

Past residents of Pomander Walk include Nancy Carroll, Ward Morehouse, Herbert Stothart, Paulette Goddard, Michael Sorkin and Rosalind Russell.
