The Corral Canyon is a valley of the Santa Monica Mountains that slopes down to the striking and diverse terrain of the Malibu coast.

Corral Canyon State Park protects the southern portion of the valley and is managed and operated by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority in partnership with the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. A loop trail climbs the slope of the valley within the park and loops back to the start. The trail starts at a small parking area on Pacific Coast Highway that runs along a narrow coastal terrace.

Snag Rocks, () also known as Rocas Bravo, is a cluster of rocks off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.  This cluster of rocks lies mid-channel in the French Passage between the Roca Islands and the Myriad Islands, in the Wilhelm Archipelago. Photographed from the helicopter of HMS Protector in March 1958, Snag Rocks was so named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the feature presents a hazard or obstacle to navigation.

William F. Cogswell (July 15, 1819 – December 24, 1903) was a portrait painter who was born in Fabius, New York.  In the 1830s, while working in a color factory in Buffalo, New York, he taught himself to paint.  During the 1840s, he worked in New York City as a professional portrait artist.  He lived in California from 1873 on, with the exception of several trips to Hawaii between 1878 and 1897.  He died in Pasadena, California, on December 24, 1903.

Legacy
Cogswell is most noted for his portraits of Ulysses S. Grant, currently hanging in the United States Senate, and Abraham Lincoln, which hangs in the White House.  He also painted Hawaiian royalty, including King Kalākaua, Princess Liliuokalani, Queen Emma, King Kamehameha IV, and King Kamehameha V—the latter two from photographs.  The Bishop Museum (Honolulu), the Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, Ohio), the Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento, California), the Joslyn Art Museum (Omaha, Nebraska), the National Portrait Gallery (Washington, DC), the New York Historical Society, the Ohio Historical Society (Columbus, Ohio), the Haggin Museum (Stockton, California), the Indiana State Museum (Indianapolis), the White House, the Union League Club of Chicago, and the Mabel Tainter Theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin, are among the public collections holding paintings by William Cogswell.

Ffernfael ab Idwal or Ithel (died ) was a late 8th-century king of Gwent in southeast Wales.

His name seems to mean "strong ankles". His father was Idwal or Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywyssing, Gwent, and Ergyng. His father may have divided the kingdom among his sons, with Rhys receiving Glywyssing and Ffernfael, much of Gwent. (Ergyng was apparently lost to Saxon Hwicce around this time.) Alternatively, Ffernfael's brothers Rhodri and Rhys and his nephew Brochfael may have inherited in turn, but lost Gwent to Ffernfael for a time. His queen was Ceingaer.

Ffernfael's death is recorded by the undated Annals of Wales. Phillimore's reconstruction places the entry in the year 775.

Proposition 12 appeared on the November 4, 2008 ballot in California.  It is also known as the Veterans' Bond Act of 2008.  The measure was legislatively referred to the ballot in Senate Bill 1572.  The primary sponsor of SB 1572 was Senator Mark Wyland, R-Carlsbad.  The vote to place the measure on the ballot was passed unanimously in both the California state senate (39-0) and assembly (75-0).

The ballot proposition passed in November and it authorizes issuance of $900 million in bonds to create a fund to assist veterans who are purchasing farms, homes and mobile home properties.

Fiscal impact

The non-partisan California Legislative Analyst's Office estimated the proposition will result in "costs of about $1.8 billion to pay off both the principal ($900 million) and interest ($856 million) on the bonds; costs paid by participating veterans. Average payment for principal and interest of about $59 million per year for 30 years."

History of veterans' bonds in California

California began the veterans' home loan programs in 1922.  California voters have subsequently been asked 27 times to fund the program and have voted "yes" all 26 times, for a total of $8.4 billion in the past. The 2008 effort was the 27th time voters were asked to support the program.   Prop. 12's request for $900 million is the largest request for a Cal-Vet bond.

Supporters

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arguments in favor 

 The Veterans Bond Act will help California's veterans achieve the American dream of homeownership. 
 Veterans who risked their lives in places like Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan will be eligible to join the more than 420,000 others who have bought a home with a CalVet loan
 Loans are repaid, along with all program costs, by the loan holders at no expense to the taxpayers
 There have never been any costs to the taxpayers under the previous authorizations
 The program helps reinforce the housing market in California
 Cal Vet loans generate thousands of housing industry-related jobs resulting in millions of dollars in annual payrolls

Newspaper editorials in favor
The Los Angeles Times

Opponents

Arguments in opposition

 Voters may wish to end the program rather than continue it
 Benefits are not limited to only veterans who served in a combat zone but to any that served during a time of war 
 Possibly resulting in unavailable funds for those who actually served in harm's way
 Eligible beneficiaries of the program may have never even left the United States
 Voters may wish to have the program rewritten so serving in harm's way is a requirement for eligibility.
 The interest on the bonds is federal and state tax free, which in a roundabout way means all taxpayers are paying some costs
 State taxpayers will be liable for any shortfall in the event beneficiaries fail to make payments and are unable to sell the home for full value

Chris Haw (born 1981) is a Catholic theologian and professor in the United States.

Biography 
Haw was baptized into the Catholic Church and attended Catholic churches as a child until his mother started attending Willow Creek Community Church, after which he began attending there as well.

In 2004, Haw founded Camden Community House, a Christian intentional community in Camden, New Jersey, composed of people who seek to emulate early Christians by being actively involved in their community and by sharing their wealth among the community.

He then studied theology at Villanova University and spent a semester in Belize studying Christian views on environmentalism.

In 2008, he co-wrote Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals with Shane Claiborne, whom he met at Willow Creek.

He graduated from Villanova in 2009 with an MA in Theology, and later studied for a PhD at Notre Dame.

Book on reversion to Catholicism 

From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart: Rekindling My Love for Catholicism is a book of Christian apologetics by Haw that documents his transitions from Catholicism to evangelicalism and back again. The book was published by Ave Maria Press in 2012. The first half of the book is autobiographical while the second half is a defense against evangelical criticisms of Catholicism.

William T. Cavanaugh, who teaches Catholic studies at DePaul University, wrote the afterword for the book. In a National Catholic Reporter review, Tom Roberts compares From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart to Kaya Oakes' Radical Reinvention: An Unlikely Return to the Catholic Church, calling them both "very smart books". Fox News Channel interviewed Haw about From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart. In his book Reborn on the Fourth of July: The Challenge of Faith, Patriotism & Conscience, Logan Mehl-Laituri writes about From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart, saying that he "cannot recommend it highly enough". A Publishers Weekly reviewer suggests that the book will interest Protestants and Catholics alike because the book provides opportunity for both groups to learn and reflect on their spiritual lives. LaVonne Neff, in The Christian Century, says that "Haw does an exceptionally fine job of uniting theology, personal narrative and contemporary social realities".

Teaching 
In 2018, Haw was hired as a theology professor at the University of Scranton.

Personal life 
Haw is married to Cassie and they have a son and a daughter.

Margit Gréczi (born 13 December 1941 in Gyöngyös) is a Hungarian painter.

Career 

She began to show interest in painting in her early childhood. Her art teacher, Gyuláné Békési at the Gyöngyösi Elementary School, spotted her talent and started to work with her towards becoming a professional painter. She took lessons from her teacher for many years.

After finishing Gyöngyösi Elementary School she applied to the Hungarian Art Gymnasium at Budapest where she got accepted. So she continued her studies there until the 1956 incidents interfered, when her parents called her home to Gyöngyös, because they were worried about her safety at Budapest. At Gyöngyös as there were no art schools, she started to go to Vak Bottyán János Economic Technikum. After that, she has done another three years of higher school, when she received her accountant qualification. She started working as an accountant at the Treasury Department of the City of Gyöngyös.

She continued painting during all these years. She has also learned a lot from hunt scenery painters, and few others who effected her style and techniques. Most of her work is oil painting. She paints portraits, landscapes, and still life, and one of her favorite subjects is hunt scenery and animal paintings. She also paints for order, such as pet portraits, family portraits, and landscapes. She became a member of the Gyöngyösi Art Club in 1966. Her works can be found all over the world at professional collectors in the United States, UK, Germany, France and Netherlands. In 2010 she won the Amateur Painter contest with her "Cirinke" titled painting.

Painter's Camp 
Since 2009 she attends Painter's Camps in Hungary and England yearly. Beside painting she also teaches painting to the young painters there.
