The Ramadan Offensive refers to the attacks mounted by insurgents in Iraq during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan in 2006, three years after the original Ramadan Offensive.

Among the targets were U.S., Iraqi and other Coalition military targets, but many civilians were also killed by death squads. Most of the civilian killings was conducted by the Mahdi Army who were seeking to purge the Sunni population of Baghdad. The offensive coincided with a Coalition operation called Together Forward which was to significantly reduce the violence in Baghdad which had seen a sharp uprise since the mid-February 2006 bombing of the Askariya Mosque, a major Shia Muslim shrine, in Samarra. However, the operation failed. Moreover, the insurgents managed take control of more than 80 percent of Baghdad. Also insurgents made huge gains in the western Al Anbar and southern Babil province, forcing Coalition and Iraqi security forces from many towns and cities. This period also saw the battle of Amarah, during which rogue Mahdi Army fighters fought with the police, who were members of the Badr Organisation, for control of the southern city of Amarah.

Birgit Treiber (born 26 February 1960) is a former swimmer from the German Democratic Republic. She won one gold and two silver medals in the 1976 Summer Olympics and a bronze medal in the 1980 Summer Olympics. It was later proven she was extensively involved in an illegal doping program that greatly improved her swimming abilities.

Career 
She began her international career in 1975, setting a new world record in the 200 m backstroke at the 1975 World Aquatics Championships, where she also won silver medal in the 100 m breaststroke.

At the 1976 Summer Olympics, she won a gold medal in the 4 × 100 m medley relay. She swam only in the preliminary round, where the East Germany team set a new Olympic record. In the 100 meters and 200 meters backstroke she finished second behind Ulrike Richter. In the same year she set world records in the 400 m individual medley and 200 m backstroke. Next year she won three gold medals at the European LC Championships 1977.

After winning three silver medals at the 1978 and a bronze medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics she ended her swimming career and became a dentist. It was later revealed that she was involved in the East Germany doping program.

CheckInstall is a computer program for Unix-like operating systems which eases the installation and uninstallation of software compiled from source by making use of package management systems. After software compilation it can automatically generate a Slackware-, RPM-, or Debian-compatible package that can later be cleanly uninstalled through the appropriate package manager.

CheckInstall monitors the installation phase of a normal software build process and notes the files that are added to the system.  It then builds a package that contains these files, using additional information gathered from the user.  Finally, the files installed by the original run are removed and the package is installed using the system package tools, so the package will be properly registered in the local installed packages database.

The primary benefits provided by CheckInstall versus simply running make install are the ability to remove the package from the system using the system packaging tools, and the ability to install the resulting package on multiple machines. CheckInstall is sometimes cited as a mechanism for creating packages by open source projects instead of creating numerous platform-specific build packages.

Usage
Checkinstall is usually used after running a configure script and make, as follows:

 ./configure
 make
 sudo checkinstall

After entering some information about the author and a package description, you will get the folder where the generated package has been saved to.

The Village of Addyston Historic District is a historic district in the village of Addyston, located along the Ohio River near Cincinnati in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States.  The remnant of two company towns, the district is primarily residential in character, with only occasional examples of larger architecture.

In 1891, the unincorporated communities of Sekitan and East Addyston merged and were incorporated under the name of "Addyston".  Both communities were company towns; founded in 1887, they continued to expand until about 1900.  As a result of their origins, the communities' architecture (especially that of East Addyston, which was almost completely residential) was unusually homogeneous; what few distinctive buildings were built were in Sekitan, the older portion.  The conceptual difference between the two portions of the village endured long after the municipal merger; separate post offices served the two portions into the 1930s, and as late as the 1960s, they were often regarded as separate communities.

Much of present-day Addyston was designated a historic district in 1991.  Almost all of the village's buildings are included within its boundaries; most of the surviving residences are non-descript small vernacular houses built before 1930, with a scattering of religious, community, and commercial architecture.  The majority of the non-residential buildings of all types are located in the district's western portion, where Sekitan was established.  The district comprises 384 buildings; more than five out of every six buildings in the district qualified as contributing properties.

Grays Landing Lock and Dam, previously known as Lock and Dam Number 7, is one of nine navigational structures on the Monongahela River between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Fairmont, West Virginia. Maintained and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the gated dam forms an upstream pool that is  long, stretching to the base of the Point Marion Lock and Dam. It is located at river mile 82.

There is one lock chamber on the left descending bank of the river at the dam. The reservoir formed by the dam is also a municipal and industrial water supply. The structure is the third on the site. Originally, an 1880s stone masonry structure sat in this location; it was replaced in 1923 by a modern dam.

Hero System Rulesbook is a supplement published by Hero Games/Iron Crown Enterprises in 1990 for role-playing games using the Hero System rules.

Contents
Hero System Rulesbook is the basic rulebook for a universal role-playing system used by all Hero Game products. It uses a simplified game mechanic using primarily six-sided dice to main attributes and skill challenges, a hex grid for maps, and a "point-buy" system for buying skills and powers.

Publication history
In 1981, Hero Games published the superhero role-playing game (RPG) Champions that used the "Hero System" set of rules. Hero Games subsequently published a second- and third-edition of Champions, as well as a number of role-playing games in other genres that used the same Hero System rules, including the pulp-inspired Justice Inc. (1984), espionage RPG Danger International (1985), and fantasy RPG Fantasy Hero (1986). By this time, Hero Games was in financial difficulty, and was eventually taken over as a subsidiary of Iron Crown Enterprises (I.C.E.). In 1989, Hero Games/I.C.E. published a fourth edition of Champions that included the latest version of the Hero System rules. Seeing the commercial success of the stand-alone GURPS (Generic Universal Role-Playing System) rules by Steve Jackson Games, Hero Games broke out the rules from the fourth edition of Champions and published them as Hero System Rulesbook in 1990.  

In the 2014 book Designers & Dragons: The '80s, game historian Shannon Appelcline noted that "Now GURPS (1986) was gaining steam, and the benefits of a truly universal system were becoming more obvious. Therefore, Rob Bell [of Hero Games] unified the Hero System. With the release of Champions fourth edition (1989), the Hero System Rulesbook (1990), and Fantasy Hero (1990), there was a second (mostly) universal game system on the market." 

Hero System Rulesbook, a 220-page softcover, was written by George MacDonald, Steve Peterson, and Rob Bell, with a cover by George Pérez and John Stracuzzi.

Reception
In the October 1990 edition of Dragon (Issue #162), Allen Varney liked the fact that this book included "the most neglected of rulebook virtues: an index." He concluded with a recommendation, saying, "This book provides an economical introduction to the Hero System rules and is a handy reference for those times (such as the last hours of gaming conventions) when the hardcover is just too heavy to carry."

Out of the Silent North is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by William Worthington and written by Wallace C. Clifton and George C. Hull. The film stars Frank Mayo, Barbara Bedford, Frank Leigh, Harris Gordon, Christian J. Frank, and Frank Lanning. The film was released on June 19, 1922, by Universal Film Manufacturing Company.

Plot
As described in a film magazine, French Canadian trapper Pierre Baptiste (Mayo) is in love with  Marcette Vallois (Bedford), daughter of the post storekeeper, but he does not declare his love until he sets out with Englishman Reginald Stannard (Gordon) to locate a mine. A map giving the location of the mine falls into the hands of a loafer at the post, and unscrupulous schemers who have recently arrived at the post take advantage of the absence of Reginald to arrest Pierre to get possession of the mine. Pierre discovers that he and Stafford have located the mine on the wrong creek, so he rushes to town to relocate the claim and wins in a hard race with the schemers. In the end, Marcette declares her love for him.

Stephen Whittaker (28 June 19477 February 2003) was a British actor and director. He worked largely in British film and television, and attended Henley-in-Arden School in Warwickshire before further training as an actor at London's Corona Academy. He began his career aged 17, as a "bad boy" in the film To Sir With Love (1966), and in the classic BBC Doctor Who adventure The Web of Fear, as a soldier battling Yeti in the London Underground.

In 1985 Whittaker took a director's training course, and directed a short training film which he sent to John Schlesinger (who had directed him in Yanks). Schlesinger suggested him to producer Mark Shivas as director for Channel 4's drama trilogy What If It's Raining?, written by Anthony Minghella. This was the beginning of a directing career of prestigious TV and film work. Shortly before Whittaker's death, writer Julian Fellowes spoke of him as, "the most exciting director in the industry."

In 2001 he filmed his final project The Rocket Post, a romantic drama set on a remote Scottish island. The film had severe funding problems, and was eventually released in 2006, three years after his death. The credits bear a dedication to his memory. Whittaker died following complications from a routine surgery.
