Rum Punch is a 1992 novel written by Elmore Leonard. The novel was adapted into the film Jackie Brown (1997) by director Quentin Tarantino.

The characters Ordell Robbie, Louis Gara and Melanie Ralston first appeared in Leonard's novel The Switch, which itself has also been adapted as a film, Life of Crime, first shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, with Robbie played by Mos Def and Gara portrayed by John Hawkes.

Plot
Set in the South Florida cities of West Palm Beach and Miami, Rum Punch follows Jackie Burke, a forty-four-year-old stewardess for a bottom-rung airline, who has been smuggling illegal cash into the U.S. from Jamaica for small-time gunrunner and aspiring crime boss Ordell Robbie. When U.S. agents arrest Jackie after catching her smuggling this "dirty money", they use the threat of prison and job loss to pressure her into acting as bait in their plan to catch Ordell. Upon learning of this, Ordell pressures Jackie into intentionally misleading and stalling the police long enough for her to smuggle the remainder of his "retirement score" money into the U.S. Hopelessly caught between two no-win scenarios, both dooming her to lifelong poverty (since she's too old to start over again), a desperate Jackie devises a secret, risky plan of her own to double-cross Ordell and the police, save herself, and secure her future. To execute this plan, Jackie must enlist the help of Max Cherry—the same bail bondsman Ordell hired to get Jackie out of jail. Louis Gara, Ordell's longtime criminal associate works for Cherry and becomes involved in the gun running.

Robert Benny Lumsden TD, FRCSED (1903 – 8 October 1973) was a Scottish consultant ear, nose and throat (E.N.T.) surgeon.

Education
Lumsden was educated at Strathallan School, the University of Edinburgh and for a short period at the University of Vienna. He graduated in medicine (MB, ChB) from Edinburgh in 1926 and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (FRCSED) in 1932.

Surgeon
After his house appointments Lumsden joined the E.N.T. department of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where he eventually became honorary consultant. In 1928, he was appointed consultant to the E.N.T. department at Stirling Royal Infirmary and the Deaconess Hospital, Edinburgh.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Lumsden, already serving with the Officers' Training Corps, was appointed E.N.T. specialist to a field general hospital. Shortly afterward, he was appointed as consultant adviser in E.N.T. to the Middle East Force. Lumsden was promoted to captain on 11 April 1945. He retired from the Territorial Army Reserve of Officers on 17 April 1955 with the rank of lieutenant colonel. On 29 April 1955, he was awarded the Territorial Decoration (TD). Lumsden published several papers during his military career detailing some of his medical cases.

Following the end of the war, Lumsden spent time in Rome studying the treatment of Ménière's disease by destruction of the labyrinth of the inner ear by ultrasound and in Britain introduced the treatment at the experimental stage. While based at the Wilkie Surgical Research Institution at the University of Edinburgh he conducted extensive research on the effects of ultrasound on the inner ear. Lumsden retired from the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, in 1967.

The final also marked Barty's last professional appearance, as she announced her retirement from the sport two months later.

Naomi Osaka was the defending champion, but lost to Amanda Anisimova in the third round.

Barty retained the world No. 1 singles ranking after Aryna Sabalenka and Barbora Krejčíková lost in the fourth round and quarterfinals, respectively. Collins entered the WTA top 10 rankings for the first time by reaching the final.

Alizé Cornet reached her first major singles quarterfinal on her 63rd main-draw appearance, surpassing Tamarine Tanasugarn's all-time record, who reached her maiden quarterfinal at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships on her 45th attempt.
Kaia Kanepi becomes the first Estonian to reach the quarterfinals at all four majors after her victory over second seed Aryna Sabalenka in the fourth round.

The Wanda are a Bantu ethno-linguistic group based in Mbeya Region and Sumbawanga District of southern Rukwa Region of Tanzania. The Wanda population was estimated to be 24,000 in 1987, having increased from 5,745 in 1931, 7,677 in 1948, and 9,477 in 1957.

Language

The Wanda's native dialect is also called Wanda. Linguists group Wanda with Fipa, Lungu, Nyamwanga, Pimbwe, and Kuulwe as dialects of a single language. Most people also speak some Swahili.

Political system
Following German occupation, the Wanda came under British rule, and the northern chiefdom of Uwanda was abolished, being incorporated into the Fipa chiefdom of Lyangalile. The chief was always called Mwene, and was generally related to others in the group. The Mwene was greeted with clapping hands and the phrases "You are the only one" or "Guard us well".

Customs
As with many of the peoples of southwest Tanzania, in marriage ceremonies the groom carried a bow in his right-hand and an arrow in his left "to pierce any man who seduces your wife".

At a chief's burial a grave is dug inside the chief's hut, but only after a whole sheep is buried. The chief is placed in a sitting position on his royal stool, with a brightly colored bird's feather placed in his hair.

The main crops of the Wanda were finger millet, sorghum, sesame, peanuts, and maize. These crops were cultivated on ridges. Iron tools and weapons were not produced by the Wanda, these being traded in, mostly from the Fipa.

The Wanda worshipped gods, certain large trees, and the graves of certain chiefs.

The Jaguar XJR sportscars were a series of race cars used by Jaguar-backed teams in both the World Sportscar Championship (WSC) Group C and the IMSA Camel GTP series between 1984 and 1993.

History
Starting in 1983, the project was started by an American team Group 44 Racing, headed up by owner-driver Bob Tullius, who had the backing of Jaguar to build the Fabcar designed racer known as XJR-5 in their Herndon, Virginia, US, shop and to campaign it in the IMSA Camel GTP championship.  After becoming established in IMSA, Jaguar turned to Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) to develop another car known as XJR-6 for the World Sportscar Championship, using the same Jaguar V12 engine, and debuting halfway into the 1985 season.

Jaguar would continue to use two different types of chassis for IMSA and the WSC until 1988 when Jaguar chose to have TWR take over their team for both championships, and building an identical car for both series, known as the XJR-9.

After having used the V12 in a variety of sizes, TWR decided to try a new turbocharged 3.5L V6 for the XJR-10 (for IMSA) and the XJR-11 (for the WSC) in the 1989 season.  However, the FIA announced rule changes to come into effect for the WSC that would require all teams to change to 3.5L naturally aspirated engines.  TWR decided that continuing to develop their V6 in the WSC was useless, so the new XJR-12 for the WSC in 1990 was better suited to carry the old but reliable V12.  The XJR-12 was short-lived, as in 1991, Jaguar decided to debut their new 3.5L naturally aspirated V8 engine by Cosworth for the XJR-14.

After having won multiple championships in the WSC, and instability due to multiple rule changes, Jaguar decided to drop out following the 1991 season and concentrate on IMSA.  However, after attempting the first few races of the 1993 season, Jaguar decided to end the project altogether, marking the end of the XJR sportscars.  Jaguar and TWR attempted to continue racing on with a cheaper and smaller scale project, a racing version of the XJ220 for the GT classes, but it was short-lived.

One unique XJR model was the 1990 XJR-15, which was a limited-edition road-legal supercar built by TWR from the design of the XJR-9 and featuring Jaguar's V12.  Several XJR-15s were also built into racing cars for a special one-make series meant as a support race for Formula One.

John James McNeill (1868 – 14 June 1943) was an Australian politician and trade unionist. He was a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and served two terms in the House of Representatives (1922–1925, 1929–1931), representing the Division of Wannon in Victoria. He was Minister for Health and Minister for Repatriation from 1931 to 1932, holding office in the government of his brother-in-law James Scullin.

Early life
McNeill was born in Tantanoola, South Australia. After achieving a primary school education, McNeill worked as a shearer and then became a selector at Woosang.  He sold his farm to prospect for gold during the Coolgardie, Western Australia gold rush and then returned to Victoria to farm at Macarthur before becoming an organiser for the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) in western Victoria and the Riverina of New South Wales. He married Mary Ann Mills in 1896, but she died in 1905.

McNeill contested the Victorian Legislative Assembly seat of Glenelg for Australian Labor Party in 1906.  In 1908 he tried to farm in Roma, Queensland and then became an AWU organiser in Charleville.  From 1913 to 1922 he was secretary of the Victoria-Riverina branch of the AWU.  In 1915, he married James Scullin's sister, Catherine.

Federal Parliament
McNeill narrowly won the seat of Wannon in the House of Representatives in 1922 but was beaten in 1925. He won it back in 1929.

On 2 March 1931, dissatisfaction with the economic performance of the Scullin government and internal rivalries within the Labor Caucus resulted in the Caucus declaring all ministerial positions vacant and subsequently a new ministry was elected.  McNeill was elected to cabinet and was allocated the portfolios of Health and Repatriation. He kept these positions until the Scullin government resigned on 6 January 1932.  He lost his parliamentary seat at the December 1931 general election.

Later life
McNeill was the General President of the Australian Workers' Union from 1939 until his death in the Sydney suburb of Coogee of a coronary occlusion.  He was survived by his wife and their two sons, and his two sons and a daughter of his first marriage.

Most species are known from the Carboniferous of America and the British isles. A. jaekeli'' is known from the upper Frasnian of Germany and the Upper Famennian of Russia. This genus is based entirely upon isolated dorsal fin spines, and thus may later be found synonymous with tooth-based genera. Many species have been ascribed to this genus, though there has been some confusion with Ctenachanthus. This genus is in need of review and research.

The Anglican Church of St Peter and St Paul in Kilmersdon, Somerset, England, dates back to the Norman period, though much of the current structure was built during the 15th and 16th centuries and restored in the Victorian era. It is a Grade I listed building.

The tower, which was built around 1443, is in four stages, includes corner buttresses with shafts and pinnacles, and is connected across the angle. The tower contains a ring of six bells, the heaviest being a tenor of 21 cwt. There are traceried 3-light bell-chamber windows with a dense quatrefoil interlace and blank 2-light windows on the two lower stages. The flanked niches were for statuary, however this is now missing.

The churchyard has a triangular lychgate designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

Several of the chest tombs and headstones in the churchyard are also listed buildings.

In 2013 the church was added to the Heritage at Risk Register because of the repairs needed to the roof and tower. In November 2013 a bell fell through two floors of the tower, but came to rest on rafters above the bellringers.

The parish is part of the benefice of Kilmersdon with Babington within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
