The Junee Railway Workshop is an accredited rail operator that maintains and repairs locomotives and rolling stock from its base at Junee Locomotive Depot.

History
Junee Railway Workshop was formed in January 1995 as Austrac Ready Power. It purchased a number of former FreightCorp locomotives and leased the disused Junee Locomotive Depot. In June 1995, it completed the overhaul of two 442 class and one 45 class locomotives for lease to BHP, Port Kembla. It also signed a contract to rebuild engines for BHP.

In November 1997, Austrac began operating a service from Griffith and Junee to Port Botany using 48 class locomotives. Austrac adopted a livery that was a reverse of that of the US Erie Lackawanna Railway.

In February 1998, NB1872 and NB1873 were purchased from Westrail. From August 1998, the Griffith services ceased with Austrac commencing a Sydney to Melbourne service as a joint venture with V/Line Freight. This ceased in May 1999 following V/Line Freight being sold to Freight Victoria however by then, Austrac was operating log train services from Junee and Tuggeranong, grain services from Quandialla as well as metropolitan trip workings in Sydney.

In late 1999, Austrac recommenced a three times a week Sydney to Melbourne service with four leased Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia EL class locomotives and from December 1999 containerised grain services from Willow Tree were operated.

In July 2000, Austrac commenced a weekly Moree to Melbourne service replacing the service from Sydney.

On 21 August 2000, the three Austrac operational arms went into voluntary administration. It ceased trading in August 2001. The Australian Traction Corporation Pty Ltd changed its name to Junee Railway Workshop Pty Ltd in 2004. retaining the Junee depot lease and 48 class locomotives.

Since April 2010, Junee Railway Workshop has been overhauling a fleet of eighteen 48 class locomotives for GrainCorp along with an ex South Australian Railways 830 class for its own use. The ex Austrac 48s have been hired to other operators including El Zorro.\

Tekov [Hungarian: Bars] is the traditional name of a region situated in southern and central Slovakia. Its territory encompasses the former Bars county, existing in the Kingdom of Hungary from the 11th century until 1918, though it is now administratively divided between the Nitra and Banská Bystrica regions (districts Žiar nad Hronom, Žarnovica, Zlaté Moravce, and partly Levice).

Tekov is situated along the Hron river, between the Hont region in the east, (including) Kremnica and Hronská Dúbrava in the north, the Žitava river in the west,  Bešeňov and (excluding) Bíňa in the south. The rivers Hron and Žitava flow through the region.

The original seat of the count was the Tekov Castle (since 1321), then Levice Castle. The capital moved in the late 1580 to Topoľčianky and in the late 18th century to Zlaté Moravce.

The 2002 World Fencing Championships were held in Lisbon, Portugal. The event took place from August 18 to August 23, 2002.

Overview
Lisbon obtained the right to organize the championships over Bari, Italy. The event was first to take place from August 12 to August 18, but was reported a week later at the request of the main sponsor and of the television stations, which feared poor audience figures.

84 countries–a record at the time–took part in the championships. The competition saw the clear domination of Russia, who came away with nine medals, including six golds. Stanislav Pozdniakov and Svetlana Boyko obtained a double gold haul respectively in men's sabre and women's foil. Boiko shared the podium with teammate Yekaterina Yusheva, who in quarter-finals had put an end to Valentina Vezzali's streak of gold medals in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Pavel Kolobkov earned a gold medal in men's épée, eight years after his last major title and with a very limited preparation: he was then working as a fencing coach in Boston and rarely took part in Fencing World Cup events. Russia also prevailed in women's team sabre, overcoming Hungary in the final. Ironically, these two countries were the most adamant against the introduction of women's sabre at the Olympics.

The Lisbon championships proved however a disappointment for France, whose medals tally dropped from ten at Nîmes 2001 to five. The French preparation for the championships had been affected by a personal conflict between Philippe Omnès, director of fencing of the French federation, and Christian Bauer, national coach for sabre, as well as the positive drugs test of Laura Flessel-Colovic a few days before the competition. France boasted only one gold medal in men's team épée, won against Russia.

The remaining medals were relatively spread out between other nations. Romania claimed three bronze medals: one in women's team foil, Laura Badea's first medal after her return from maternity leave, one in men's sabre for Olympic champion Mihai Covaliu and one in women's épée for 17-year-old Ana Maria Brânză. The main surprise however was the growing power of Asian fencing: Korea's Hyun Hee defeated successively favourites Laura Flessel and Imke Duplitzer to earn the gold in women's épée, while China's Tan Xue claimed the title after seeing of previous incumbents Anne-Lise Touya and Elena Jemayeva.

That Wonderful Guy is an American situation comedy television program that was broadcast on ABC from December 28, 1949, through April 28, 1950. It featured Jack Lemmon in his first starring role on TV.

Premise and cast
Set in New York, That Wonderful Guy focused on drama critic Franklin Westerbrook (Neil Hamilton) who was pompous and demanding, and his valet, Harold (Lemmon), who was bumbling but enthusiastic. Harold was a recent drama school graduate who endured his boss's demands while he hoped for a big break to get into show business. The cast included Jo Hurt and Cynthia Stone.

Production 
Charles Irving Productions packaged the program, and Hal Gerson and Babette Henry directed. The writers were Charles Gussman and Russell Beggs. Bernard Green's orchestra provided music. 

The program was sustaining. It was broadcast live on ABC at 9 Eastern Time on Wednesday nights until March 1, 1950, and at 8:30 on Friday nights from March 10, 1950, through April 28, 1950.

ABC's original plans called for That Wonderful Guy to debut on TV in the fall of 1949, but financial problems at the network caused delays in putting it and some other programs on the air. Also in October 1949, ABC considered moving the program to AM radio rather than going on TV.

Critical reception
Mary Wood, radio and television critic for The Cincinnati Post described That Wonderful Guy as "a well done show, full of sprightly adult humor -- an engaging farce".

A review in the trade publication Variety said the program "shapes up as a pleasant, engaging farce . . .". It also commended the show's writing, music, humor and charm.

Leon Morse, writing in the trade publication Billboard, said, "With a bit more work That Wonderful Guy should blossom forth into a fine situation comedy." The review commended the casting of Lemmon and Hamilton and said, "the camera work was slick", except that more closeups were needed.

Vaddukoddai (also spelt Vattukkottai, Vatukotai, Vattukotai) (, ) is small but important town in the minority Sri Lankan Tamil dominated Jaffna peninsula of Sri Lanka. It became prominent with the founding of Asia’s first modern university level collegiate known as Batticotta Seminary  by the American Missionaries from New England in 1823.

Demography
Most of the residents of the village are Sri Lankan Tamils, with the majority being Hindus and a few Christians. As of 2007, due to the effects of the Sri Lankan civil war the actual number of residents is unknown.

Educational institutions
The village is home to the prominent Jaffna College that was founded as the Batticotta Seminary. Jaffna College is one of the most famous colleges in Jaffna, and is the only private mixed school. Students come from  areas such as Batticaloa and Kandy, as well as Jaffna. Vaddukoddai  is also home to the Vaddu Central College, another important secondary institute of education. There is one tertiary/higher educational institution, known as Jaffna College Institute of Technology, a polytechnic that is used for various vocational training requirements.

Religious establishments
The Church of South India has 21 administrative division throughout the world. It has only one of them known as a diocese in Sri Lanka. The Jaffna Diocese headquarters is in Vaddukoddai. An Amman temple at Sangarathai, a Murugan temples at Adaikalam Thottam and Panguru are three of the main Hindu temples found here.

History
The name of the village suggests that at some point in its history it had a fortress in its midst, possibly from the Aryacakravarti dynasty. But rule by various colonial powers since 1621 has erased all evidence of a fort. The village became prominent during the British colonial period in Sri Lanka as it was chosen as location for one of the nine protestant missions to be established within the small Jaffna peninsula (hardly 15 by 40 miles). The move by the seminary to study Saiva scriptures led to an important social transformation amongst the local Tamils because it began a process that led to a Saiva revivalism led by Arumuka Navalar. Eventually the seminary was renamed Jaffna college and became a secular institution in 1867. The village also played an important role in the recent Sri Lankan civil war as the place where the Tamil United Liberation Front party came up with the Vaddukoddai Resolution in 1976 that articulated the view that minority Sri Lankan Tamils needed separation from rest of Sri Lanka to resolve their political problems.

John Short Larke (May 28, 1840 – April 24, 1910) was Canada's first trade commissioner who represented the country in Australia starting in 1895.

Biography
John Short Larke was born near Stratton, Cornwall, England, UK. At the age of four, he arrived in Oshawa, Ontario with his parents.  Between 1865 and 1878, Larke bought out the owners of the Oshawa Vindicator, becoming the sole proprietor of a strongly pro-Conservative newspaper in Oshawa, Ontario.

In 1894, Larke became  Canada's first trade commissioner following a successful trade delegation to Australia led by Canada's first Minister of Trade and Commerce, Mackenzie Bowell.  Arriving in Sydney in 1895, Larke was tasked with developing the market for Canadian products in Australia, developing a list of Canadian suppliers for promoting sales to Australia, and reporting back to Ottawa regarding market conditions.
During Larke’s years as a Trade Commissioner, the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service expanded from one man to twenty-one, representing Canada in sixteen countries.  Today, the Trade Commissioner Service, part of the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, operates over 150 offices in over 100 countries around the world.

The Chainbearer; or The Littlepage Manuscripts is a novel by the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1845. The Chainbearer is the second book in a trilogy starting with Satanstoe and ending with The Redskins. The novel focuses mainly on issues of land ownership and the displacement of American Indians as the United States moves Westward.

Plot

Themes
Critical to the trilogy is the sense of expansion through the measuring and acquisition of land by civilization. The title The Chainbearer represents "the man who carries the chains in measuring the land, the man who helps civilization to grow from the wilderness, but who at the same time continues the chain of evil, increases the potentiality for corruption." Chainbearers, also known as "chain men", were important figures in early America because the accuracy of surveys depended on their work, and they were often required to be sworn in before performing their duties. The central position of the "Chainbearer" allows Cooper to deal with the cultural lack of understanding that Native Americans had of European concepts of land ownership. This in turn allows Cooper to critique ownership in general.

Also, Cooper, like in many of his novels, focuses on the growing corruption of individuals in "civilization" as it expands. This Cooper attributes "an inherent principle in the corrupt nature of man to misuse all his privileges. . . . If history proves anything, it proves this." Two characters, in particular, represent this growing corruption of civilization, Andries Mordaunt, the chainbearer, and Aaron, known as "Thousandacres". The men represent different types of the civilization, Mordaunt as the usurper of old civilization and Thousandacres representing an older society which the new "civilization" means to usurp. Eventually this new civilization decides to embrace force in order to lay  full claim on the land. This displacement of Native Americans by the ever expansionist Americans repeatedly becomes an issue for Cooper throughout the trilogy of novels. In so doing, Cooper presents a very strong critique of Americans and America.

The German author Arno Schmidt, who translated several of Cooper's novels, has a character in his eccentrically punctuated novel Zettels Traum state, "if His ›Littlepage-Trilogy‹ were more familiar, We could, by analogous filological=antiquarian efforts, re=construct from Him, the entire US=world, from 1750 to 1840, ('nd not all=that uncolorfully, either!)."

Opuntia rastrera is a prickly pear which grows in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí.  It is known in Spanish as cuija, although that name can also refer to other cactuses such as Brasiliopuntia.

Description
Opuntia rastrera can be found in bajada, hill-piedmont, and interdune habitats in locations such as the Mapimi biosphere reserve, where it is sometimes the most common cactus in a given location, or sometimes a secondary cactus.

Propagation
In order to germinate, the seeds require a dormancy period of at least a year.  As with other Opuntia species, mechanical or chemical scarification does not seem to help.

The species can reproduce either vegetatively or by seed.  In fact, the nature of the habitat determines which is more common, with sexual reproduction dominating in grasslands and vegetative propagation dominating in scrublands.
