Bernard Donald Macdonald (December 25, 1797 – December 30, 1859) was the second bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlottetown, succeeding Bishop Bernard Angus MacEachern.

Early life and education
Born in St. Andrew's, Prince Edward Island, McDonald was one of the first two boys from the Island sent to study for the priesthood at the Grand Seminary of Quebec in 1812, and was ordained there on June 1, 1822, the first native Islander to become a priest.

Career
McDonald carried out many years of missionary work. He was then appointed Bishop of the Diocese Charlottetown, then comprising Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and the Magdalen Islands, on February 21, 1837. During his tenure in 1842, New Brunswick broke away to become its own diocese.

Throughout his tenure as Bishop of Charlottetown, McDonald resided in Rustico, where he had also lived as a missionary. A church dedicated to St. Augustine was built there in 1838 under McDonald's supervision and served its purpose for many years. There is still a St. Augustine's Church in Rustico today.

In 1843, the second basilica for St. Dunstan's was built out of wood while McDonald was bishop. Realizing that the welfare of his priests in the Diocese was important, Bishop McDonald founded the St. Bernard's Society, which would provide for the care of the priests who became inactive due to old age, illness, or other reasons. This society was active until the 1960s.

Although the Bishop closed St. Andrew's College in 1844, he supervised the construction of St. Dunstan's College in Charlottetown (now part of the UPEI campus) in 1848, which attended to the educational needs of boys and girls.  In 1856 he spoke out against compulsory bible reading in the public schools.

In 1857, McDonald was also responsible for bringing to the Island the first Sisters of Notre Dame and opening a convent school for girls, which is now the modern-day Notre Dame Convent in Charlottetown.

Ill for some time, McDonald moved from Rustico to St. Dunstan's College shortly before his death. Following his death on December 30, 1859, a large funeral mass was held in Charlottetown, and the Bishop's remains were interred in his native home of St. Andrew's.

The 1st Venezuelan Rifles () was a nominally Irish regiment that took part in the Venezuelan War of Independence. Commanded by Colonel Donald Campbell, a Scottish Protestant. Battalion Rifles was created on August 13, 1818 with the British Riflemen under the command of Colonel Robert Piggot, survivors of the Battle of La Puerta (1818), formerly called the Line Battalion or Fusiliers of the Honor Guard. Its nucleus was recruited by the British and its ranks were completed with Creole peoples and natives of the Caribbean. Later, the unit participated in actions that included expeditions through the Llanos and the Andes and the Boyacá Campaign, 1819. He fought until 1824, in the Battle of Ayacucho, saving with his sacrifice the army of Sucre, trapped in the Corpahuaico Gorge, a few days before.

The Class 168 Clubman is a British diesel multiple unit (DMU) passenger train used on Chiltern Line services between London Marylebone and the West Midlands. The trains were built by Adtranz at the Derby Litchurch Lane Works in several batches from 1998.

The first batch was classified 168/0 under TOPS and resembled the Class 165 units previously built by BREL York. The Networker-design cab was an interim solution pending the design of a completely new cab for further Turbostar batches. Subsequent builds, subclassed as 168/1 and 168/2, were constructed at the same time as the Class 170 Turbostar and thus are part of the Turbostar family of trains.

The first batch of Clubman 168/0 carriages ordered by Chiltern Railways were the first units ordered by any train operating company since the privatisation of the UK industry in 1996. They were delivered as 3-car sets but later lengthened to 4-car sets.

One unit has been converted to hybrid operation as of 2022.

Description

Seating 
A typical Class 168 consists of 2+2 standard-class seating throughout, arranged either around tables or in airline-style seating with pull-down tables. The majority of seats are facing seats. The Class 168 is carpeted throughout with luggage racks, air conditioning, and two or more toilets per set (one for disabled users, with baby changing facilities). Passenger information systems are fitted in every car and on the outside of class 168/2 cars.

Variants
Three different variants of the 168 were produced - 168/0, 168/1 and 168/2. Both Classes 168/1 and 168/2 are actually of the same design as the Class 170 Turbostar DMU trains, mainly due to the redesigned cab ends. The nine Class 170s that Chiltern obtained from First TransPennine Express were converted by Brush Traction to operate with the Class 168 fleet, and redesignated as Class 168/3.  168329 has been converted by Porterbrook into a diesel/battery hybrid. It was tested in 2021 on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and entered service as "HybridFlex" in February 2022.

Fleet details

Operations

Network SouthEast (NSE) originally planned the Class 168 for its expansion of service on the Chiltern Main Line to Birmingham Snow Hill or New Street. These units were planned to have a higher top speed of  and better acceleration than the Class 165 Network Turbo DMU trains.

In the event, privatisation intervened before NSE acquired any units; Chiltern Railways operates these units, in similar diagrams to those originally planned by NSE.

Named units
The following units have been assigned names:

Latvian Way () was a conservative-liberal political party in Latvia.  It merged with Latvia's First Party to form the Latvia's First Party/Latvian Way (LPP/LC) in 2007.

It described itself as "a liberal party defending people's freedom to shape their own lives".  Latvian Way was a member of Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.

History
Latvian Way was founded on 25 September 1993, by a group of former activists of Popular Front of Latvia and Latvian exiles who had returned to Latvia after it regained independence. In its first election in 1993, Latvian Way won 32.4% of popular vote and became the leading party in a coalition government. Later, its popularity declined, with 14.6% of votes in 1995 election and 18.0% in 1998. Despite that, Latvian Way remained a powerful force in Latvian politics and was part of every coalition government in Latvia from July 1993 to November 2002. Four Latvian Way members were Prime Ministers: Valdis Birkavs (from 1993 to 1994), Māris Gailis (from 1994 to 1995), Vilis Krištopans (from 1998 to 1999) and Andris Bērziņš (from 2000 to 2002). A fifth former Prime Minister, Ivars Godmanis, joined the Latvian Way party after his term as Prime Minister ended.

In the 2002 general election, it got 4.9% of the vote, just under the 5% needed to secure representation in parliament. After this loss, several politicians left Latvian Way for other parties. Latvian Way regained some ground in the European Parliament Election in June 2004 with 6.5% of vote but it still faced an uncertain future and the difficult task of regaining voters' trust. For the 2006 election, Latvian Way formed an electoral coalition with the Latvia's First Party. They won 10 seats in the election, allowing Latvian Way to join the coalition government. Party chairman Ivars Godmanis became Minister of the Interior in November 2006, and then Prime Minister in December 2007.  He resigned after protests paralysed the Latvian capital, Riga, due to the global economic crisis. On 20 February 2009, Godmanis resigned as Prime Minister along with the rest of his government amid concerns about handling the economic crisis.

The Men's team pursuit at the European Track Championships was first competed in 2010 in Poland. It has formed a part of each championship since. Great Britain, the double Olympic champions, dominated the event in its early years,  winning all of the first five occasions the entered. Thereafter, as other nations caught up, Russia (2), Denmark (3), France (3) and latterly Italy shared the other titles.

Andy Tennant was ever present in each success of the British team, and as a result is the most successful individual rider in the event, with five gold medals.Thomas Denis of France is the most successful non-British rider, with three gold medals.

Format

Until 2014, the team pursuit consisted of two rounds; a qualifying round, followed by a final for the fastest two qualifiers, and the race for the bronze medal for the third and fourth fastest qualifiers. In 2014, a third intermediate round was added: two semifinals consisting of the top four qualifiers to decide the gold medal finalists, and two bronze medal raceoffs for teams placed fifth to eighth which, together with the times of the losing semifinalists, decided the bronze medal finalists.

In that first amended event in 2014, France failed to make the 'gold medal semifinals', but having reached the bronze medal raceoffs as the sixth placed team, raced a quicker time than Switzerland, one of the losing semifinalists, to reach the Bronze medal final; they lost the Bronze medal final to the other losing semifinalist, Russia.

The Tennessee Ramblers were an American Country and Western swing band that originally consisted of Dick Hartman (1898–1962) on mandolin and vocals, Harry Blair on guitar and vocals, Kenneth Wolfe on fiddle, and Cecil Campbell on banjo and steel guitar.  Hartman formed the band in 1928 to perform on Pittsburgh radio station KDKA.  In 1934, the band moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, which remained their base for most of the band's lifespan. While in Charlotte, the group played on WBT.

By the time the Tennessee Ramblers made their first recording for Bluebird Records in 1935, they had added bassist Fred Morris, fiddler Elmer Warren, and a novelty musician named Jack Gillette.  The band performed in the 1936 motion picture Ride Ranger Ride and the 1937 film The Yodelin' Kid from Pine Ridge, both starring Gene Autry.  Although Hartman left the group in 1938, the band continued performing under the leadership of Gillette.  They appeared in several films in the early 1940s, including Tex Ritter's The Pioneers in 1941.

In 1949, Harry Blair retired, leaving Campbell as the last remaining original member.  Campbell continued using the band's name, however, until the 1980s.

The Bernard V. Fultz Center for Higher Education otherwise known as the Meigs Center is the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College's branch in Meigs County, Ohio.

Old building
In 1998, as part of the university's objectives to expand, a small branch in Middleport, Ohio was set up to reach out to the community and to help people who wanted to go to Rio but did not want to commute all the way to the main campus in Rio Grande, Ohio.

While the building did help people not wanting to drive all the way to main campus, the center was too small to hold main classes and so in 2002 the university began looking for a site for a new center.

Current building
In 2002, ideas for a new center arose and were discussed between university officials, Meigs county commissioners, and Meigs local school officials. Groundbreaking began in 2007 and the new building was completed in 2008.

The siege of Bilär was a battle for the capital city of the Volga Bulgaria between the Volga Bulgars and the Mongols. It took place in autumn 1236 and lasted for 45 days. It ended with the total destruction of Bilär and the massacre of its population, estimated several dozen thousands.

After the battle of Samara Bend the Bolghars renovated all fortification of Bilär, the city was encircled with the third 11-kilometre-long wall of stone and wood.  However, after the Mongols besieged the city, it withstood the siege only for 45 days.

By the material, provided by archaeological excavations the city was burnt, the unburied remains of its population could be found all over Bilär. The excavations prove the Kazan Tatar legends and the Russian chronicles, which wrote that the Mongols:

Then Mongols destroyed many Bulgarian cities, but the north of the country remained intact, so many survivors resettled to the North and to the West from the Bulgarian mainland. The country was incorporated to the Ulus Jochi, but the resistance lasted for forty years.

Some years after the fall of Bilär, Bolghars tried to revive the Great City, but this attempt had no result.

Lyndavale Station is a cattle station in the Northern Territory of Australia. Lyndavale covers around , and is located approximately  south west of Alice Springs via the Stuart Highway.

Background 

Lyndavale was created from a subdivision of Erldunda station, which had been owned by the Stanes family since the 1920s (the great-grandfather of Ross Stanes), in 1987. The country consists largely of sandhills covered in mulga, much of it not highly productive. They divided the whole property into smaller paddocks when they first took it over; however, they later removed the dividing fences in the mulga area, creating a single large paddock which is managed by controlling the 25 water sources (bores) within it.

The current () owners, Ross and Joanne Stanes, also own Mount Ebenezer, which abuts Lyndavale to the north. Ross' parents, Anne and John Stanes, and brother Bennett Stanes and his partner Lily Culbertson all have a connection with Lyndavale. The family also own De Rose Hill Station in South Australia (approximately  as well as several smaller properties near Adelaide. They run mainly Angus cattle, some crossed with Charolais. The property has accredited EU and organic status (USDA).

In April 2023, a Federal Court ruling determined in favour of the native title application lodged by Anangu seven years earlier for around  of pastoral lease land that includes Erldunda, Lyndavale, and Curtin Springs stations. This was the first recognition of commercial rights in Central Australia. The ruling, which was handed down by Justice Mordy Bromberg at a gathering in the remote community of Imanpa, granted traditional owners the right to hunt and perform ceremonies on the land, and also to be consulted over its use. However neither the native title holders nor the pastoralists have rights over mineral exploration, and licences for potash mining are held over the lakes. Ross Stanes welcomed the determination, saying that his family had "had a long, long relationship with [Anangu], and that both pastoralists and native title holders respected each other's rights.
