Melvin Cheren (1933 – December 7, 2007) was a record executive who helped start the Paradise Garage, also known as "Gay-rage", a New York City gay discothèque popular in the 1970s and '80s.

Early life
Melvin "Mel" Cheren was born on January 21, 1933, in Everett, Massachusetts, and grew up in the Boston area.

His first job in the music business was in 1959 as salesman for ABC-Paramount Records.

In the 1960s, Cheren joined the Army and served in Germany. In 1964, he was in charge of production for ABC Records. In the 70's, he accepted a position for Scepter and began campaigning with the company to start producing dance music.

West End Records
In 1976, Mel Cheren and Ed Kushins founded West End Records, the music label that defined the sound of New York City in the heyday of disco. Cheren created the 12-inch vinyl single, which permitted longer playing time than the standard seven-inch, and which gained its greatest popularity in discos.

Paradise Garage
Cheren was business partner and former lover of Michael Brody, who created the Paradise Garage in 1977 with the financial back-up of Cheren. In the 2006 "The Godfather of Disco," a documentary about Cheren, he himself called the Garage "the ultimate expression of the whole fabric" of gay night life.

Gay Men's Health Crisis
When Rodger McFarlane began a crisis counseling hotline about AIDS in 1982 as a program of the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) organization, he operated it out of a couple of rooms in a building in Chelsea owned by Mel Cheren. The building subsequently became the first headquarters and office of GMHC, rent-free. In 1984, when GMHC moved to larger quarters, Cheren turned the building into the Colonial House Inn, a 20-room gay-oriented guesthouse where he himself lived until his death.

24 Hours for Life
In the late 1980s, Cheren founded the nonprofit group "24 Hours for Life" to raise money for AIDS relief. Through the organization, he published his autobiography, My Life and the Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin (2000).

Personal life
Mel Cheren died on December 7, 2007, from complications associated with AIDS.

Ardagast or Radogost (Ancient Greek: Ἀρδάγαστος Ardagastos; Cyrillic: Ардагаст; fl. 584–597) was a 6th-century South Slavic chieftain under King Musokios of the Antes.

Etymology 
The name may derive from Slavic rada – "council" or "rad" – "eager" and gostiti or hostit – "to host", meaning "the one who hosts the council" or "eager to host – hospitable". It could have been a personal name, or an acquired title designating the leader or chieftain of a council, assembly, or veche. Ardagast is an old Slavic unmetathised form.

Historical records 
Menander Protector writes about Ardagast in his works, and the Strategikon of Maurice (late 6th century) makes mention of him. The Strategikon spends an entire an entire chapter to the "Slavs" (Sclavenes), who in their eyes had a different form of social and political organization to that of the Avars. Some scholars think this may have been an umbrella term for a number of groups living north of the Danube, who could neither be called "Huns" or "Avars".

Military campaigns 
Ardagast may have led the Slavs who plundered Greece in 577.

After the Avar Khagan Bayan I and the Byzantine Emperor Emperor Maurice concluded a treaty in 584, Ardagast raided Thrace, penetrating as far as the Long Wall. The Slavs suffered defeats only twice: at the Erginia river near the Long Walls (583) and in the Ansinon neighbourhood of Hadrianople at the hands of Comentiolus. The Slavs were later driven out of the Astica region.

The raid in Thrace in 585 prompted Emperor Maurice to deal with the Slavs – sending an army under commander-in-chief Priscus and infantry commander Gentzon to cross the Danube at Dorostolon (present-day Silistra) and to carry out a surprise attack on the Slavs in their own territory (as the Slavs had long been pillaging the Byzantine Empire). The Byzantine army arrived at the Slavic camp at midnight, surprising the Slavs, who fled in confusion; Ardagast fell on a tree stump and was almost captured, but luckily he was near a river and eluded the attackers.

Priscus sent his lieutenant Alexander across the Helibakion (Ialomiţa River) to find Slavs who were hiding in the woods and swamps, they failed to burn out the people hiding there, but a Gepid Christian who was associated with the Slavs deserted and revealed a secret passage. The Byzantine army then easily captured the Slavs, who according to the Gepid, were spies sent by King Musokios, who just heard about the attack on Ardagast.

The Unionest Party was a provincial political party in Saskatchewan, Canada, in the early 1980s, that advocated union between the four western provinces of Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) and the United States.

The party's name was a contraction of ‘best union’.

The party was founded in March 1980 by Dick Collver, a former leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, who resigned from the PC caucus when he announced the formation of his new party.

A few days later, another PC  member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan (MLA), Dennis Ham, also left the PC caucus to join Collver.  (Ham was the brother of Lynda Haverstock, who later  became the leader of the Saskatchewan Liberal Party and later Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.)

The Unionest Party was formed at a time when several western separatist parties (such as the Western Canada Concept) were being formed and attracting considerable attention and support because of dissatisfaction with the federal Liberal government.

The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party government of the day introduced and passed retroactive legislation intended to restrict third party status to a party with at least two sitting members affiliated with a political party that was registered under the Election Act on the day of the last general election.

Bergheim is a district of the German city of Heidelberg. It is bounded on the North by the Neckar River, the East by the Bismarkplatz, on the South by the Kurfürsten Anlage and the South by the city line.  It is a mostly urban residential area, however the Bergheim Campus of the University of Heidelberg has numerous buildings in the district. Since March 2009 the Heidelberg University Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences has occupied the former Ludolf Krehl clinic (after Ludolf von Krehl). Bergheim also has a number of parks, both along the river and near the Stadtbücherei.

Location 
Bergheim is bordered by the Old Town to the east, the West Town to the south and the Neckar river to the north. To the west are Wieblingen-Süd with its rehab center (SRH) and Pfaffengrund. The settlement Ochsenkopf already belongs to Wieblingen.

Bergheim stretches along the banks of the Neckar. Bergheimer Strasse, which is centrally located and defines the district area with its starting and ending points, flows into the Federal Highway 656/Bundesstrasse 37 in the west and is bordered by Bismarckplatz in the east. It's one of Heidelberg's main traffic arteries.

The Bergheim district still contains areas of the so-called Alt Klinikum of the University Hospital (now partially converted into the Samariterhaus residential quarter) and Heidelberg Central Station. The largest employer here is the Stadtwerke Heidelberg. Furthermore, there are many office workplaces of other companies. Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG maintained its headquarters in the Kurfürstenanlage for a long time, as well as its large research and development center in Bergheimer Strasse.

The southern boundary is the four- to six-lane Kurfürstenanlage, which begins at Bismarckplatz on the border with the old town and runs to the main train station.

Bet the Sky is an album by the American indie rock band Lois, released in 1995.

Lois supported the album by touring with Fugazi.

Production
Brendan Canty and Heather Dunn joined Lois Maffeo for the making of Bet the Sky, which was written and recorded in Olympia, Washington. "Shy Town" first appeared on an EP, produced by Ian MacKaye.

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "a welcome return to acoustic wimpiness," writing that "though it contains fewer instantly memorable songs than Lois’ other records, the album does have some of Maffeo's best lyrics ... and some beautiful, assured singing." The Washington Post deemed it Lois' "craftiest album yet," writing that "such simple, sparkling tunes as 'Steal Heat' and 'Shy Town' retain the slightly punky, mostly folkie charm of the bicoastal singer's two previous long-players." The Staten Island Advance considered it a "superb array of vibrant, jangly pop-punk and moody acoustic torch songs."

The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that "it's a low-fi affair, with Maffeo's sharp, breezy tunes presented in simple, accessible arrangements that use folk instrumentation and slightly off-kilter rhythms." The Los Angeles Times concluded that Maffeo's "off-kilter, mostly acoustic approach is compelling, avoiding the self-righteous stance or baby-doll trimmings that plague many of [Olympia's] artists." Rolling Stone determined that "cushioned by airy, evocative melodies and the simple strum of a guitar, Maffeo's songs speak in the universal language of regret."

AllMusic wrote that "the opening 'Charles Atlas', a witty recasting of the wimp-turned-macho man ads from the comic books, is one of Maffeo's best songs, with a memorable hook and sing-along chorus."

Bruce Pennington (born 10 May 1944) is a British painter, best known for his science fiction and fantasy novel cover art. Pennington's works have largely featured on the covers of novels of Isaac Asimov, Clark Ashton Smith and Robert A. Heinlein, adopting both science fiction and fantastical themes. His past of speculation and youthful wonderment lead to his current outlandish form and style.

Pennington's works are largely characterised by bold, daring colours; rich pinks and blues sustaining his continuing motifs of speculation as well as precise brush strokes, harmonious pigment blending as well as the acute concentration in the detail of his depicted subjects, usually landscapes of other times or worlds.

Pennington attended the Ravensbourne School of Art in Bromley during the early 1960s. He began working as a freelance illustrator in 1967. In 1976, Paper Tiger Books published an LP-sized graphic album, Eschatus, featuring Pennington's paintings inspired by the prophecies of Nostradamus. They followed this, in 1991, with a graphic album, Ultraterranium, collecting various private and commercial works.
