Michael Paul Decker Sr. (born December 18, 1944) is a former member of the North Carolina House of Representatives who represented the 94th district, including constituents in Forsyth County. A former teacher from Walkertown, North Carolina, Decker served 10 terms in the state House, ending with the 2003-2004 session. He was born in Red Bud, Illinois.

Bribery scandal
Just before the opening of the 2003–2004 legislative session, Decker, an outspoken conservative, switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. This led to a 60–60 split in the House, producing a power-sharing arrangement between the two parties. Prior to his switch, the Republicans had a 61-59 majority, and therefore were set to control the state House. Shortly before the 2004 elections, Decker switched back to the Republican Party. He was defeated in the 2004 Republican primary by Larry R. Brown of Kernersville who went on to win the general election.

In August 2006, Decker pleaded guilty in federal court to receiving $50,000 in cash and checks as well as a legislative job for his son, all in exchange for supporting Democrat Jim Black for the Speaker of the House position (although Black was not mentioned by name in Decker's federal plea deal). The bribe was made in the form of an envelope containing $38,000 in blank checks from Black's fellow North Carolina optometrists, plus $12,000 in cash from an undisclosed source. The envelope was transferred to Decker by a Democratic member of the House, at a Salisbury, North Carolina, IHOP restaurant. Black's office has said that at some point in 2002, Decker met Jim Black at the IHOP in Salisbury to talk. Black maintained that the $50,000 was campaign funding support from the House Leader to a new Democratic Party member. Decker maintained it was a bribe for him to switch parties so that Black could remain Speaker of the House. In 2007, Black pleaded guilty (but did not actually admit guilt) to essentially what Decker alleged.

On April 27, 2007, Decker was sentenced to four years in prison and a $50,000 fine for his involvement in the scheme.  The sentence was twice what the prosecution was seeking. U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever III called the scheme "an epic betrayal." He reported to a federal prison in South Carolina in September 2007.

The Royal Insurance Building is a historic building located at Queen Avenue, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It was built as the head office of the Royal Insurance Company and was used until they moved to a building on New John Street in 1903.

Architecture
The building was designed by Samuel Rowland in the Neoclassical style and completed in 1839. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Queen Avenue; the central section of three bays formed a tetrastyle portico with fluted Doric order columns supporting an entablature. There were Ionic order columns spanning the first and second floors which supported a frieze and a pediment.

San Gregorio State Beach is a beach near San Gregorio, California, United States, south of Half Moon Bay. Part of the California State Park System, the beach lies just west of the intersection of California State Route 1 and State Route 84.

Geography
San Gregorio Creek widens to form a small freshwater lagoon in the park behind a sand berm, or barrier beach, which typically blocks the mouth of the creek, forcing the creekwaters to flow underfoot as they seep into the Pacific Ocean.  During the rainy season the creek often cuts through the sand berm and flows directly into the ocean. Historically the creek was a coho salmon spawning site, and the Department of Fish and Game is considering restocking it with coho to improve the salmon fisheries south of San Francisco.

It is one of the cleanest beaches in the state.

Amenities
Park facilities include restrooms and picnic tables. Dogs are not permitted on the beach, as it has been identified as an itinerant nesting habitat for the locally underpopulated western snowy plover.  It is considered a self-registered fee area, although there is a kiosk which is staffed during summer months.  North of the main beach is a nude beach on private property.

Historical significance
A stone marker with a plaque (now missing) commemorates the three days Spanish explorer Gaspar de Portolà's expedition camped at the beach to rest and treat their sick in 1769, during their (failed) attempt to locate Monterey Bay. They would go on to discover San Francisco Bay instead.

The site is registered as California Historical Landmark 26.

The U.S.-Remix Album: All or Nothing is a remix album by Milli Vanilli released in 1989 outside of North America. It contains remixes of tracks from All or Nothing as well as tracks from the group's North American debut album Girl You Know It's True that did not appear on All or Nothing. In the United Kingdom, rather than being given a stand-alone release, the album was packaged together with All or Nothing under the title 2×2. 2×2 was also released in France,
where the remix album was available on its own.

The U.S.-Remix Album/2×2 had more chart success than All or Nothing in most territories. It reached #1 in the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand and the top ten in the UK, Germany and several other countries.

A conceptually similar album, The Remix Album, was released one year later in the U.S. in 1990. The Remix Album includes extended, remixed versions of the group's singles and tracks which were exclusive to the European studio album All or Nothing.

Neoparium, also known as Neopariés, is a glass material made in Japan by Nippon Electric Glass. Described as "crystalized glass ceramic," it was developed as an architectural cladding material for use in harsh environments. Typical units are 5/8" thick in a number of opaque colors. Panels can be fabricated with curves.

The material was most notably used to replace failing marble cladding on the BMA Tower in Kansas City, Missouri, where material replacement was reviewed for compliance with National Register of Historic Places status. Another use was cladding Marco Polo House, an office building built in 1987 in the Victorian district of Battersea, London.

The pulsating xenid (Heteroxenia fuscescens) is a species of soft coral in the family Xeniidae. The species was first described in 1834 by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg as Xenia fuscescens.

Description
The polyps of Heteroxenia fuscescens grow to form large clumping colonies up to  across. Its polyp stalks are approximately  long, each stalk ending in a ring of large feathery pinnate tentacles, eight per polyp, as is typical of octocorals  Polyps pulsate rhythmically around 40 times/ minute, moving their tentacles in a "pumping" or "pulsating" fashion.  The function of this pulsing is not fully understood.  Some hypotheses include creating a current to assist feeding, respiration, and helping to dispose of waste and detritus. It contains zooxanthellae, and draws most of its energy from these symbiotes.

Distribution
These corals live on hard bottoms of lagoons and bays, and slopes with little current, and occurs from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.

In the aquarium
This species, along with most other xeniids, are prized in the aquarium hobby for the rhythmic "pumping" of the polyps, and the ease of reproduction.  However they tend to grow like weeds in the right environment and can quickly cover a tank. In some captive environments they may stop pulsing for long periods of time with no other signs of stress and suddenly start pulsing again later on as if there was never a problem.  This may be due to instability in water conditions. Some hobbyists claim that the addition of iodide may help this species but there is only circumstantial evidence to suggest that.

Heteroxenia are very closely related to other xenia species and take an expert eye to identify.  Heteroxenia grow smaller tentacles between the larger tentacles in mature specimen.

The  Stradivarius of 1730, also called the De Munck-Feuermann, is an antique cello crafted by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari. It was notably owned and played by Ernest de Munck and Emanuel Feuermann. Steven Isserlis has described the instrument as his "dream cello [...] it has everything."

It is currently owned by the Nippon Music Foundation, who has loaned the instrument to a number of prominent cellists.

Background 

The De Munck-Feuermann, while labelled 1710, was made during Stradivari's "late period". It owes its nicknames to two notable owners and players of the instrument, cellists Ernest de Munck (acquired in 1869) and Emanuel Feuermann (acquired in 1934), the latter being considered one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century. After Feuermann's death in 1942, the instrument was acquired by American collector Russell B. Kingman, and then sold to cellist Aldo Parisot in 1956.

The instrument was sold by Parisot to the Nippon Music Foundation in December 1996. It was on loan to Steven Isserlis until May 2011, then to Danjulo Ishizaka. On 24 September 2019, it was loaned to Camille Thomas for a period of one year.

Measurements 
The De Munck-Feuermann is characterised by its long narrow shape. Its detailed dimensions, as measured by calliper, are:

Aco Records or ACO Records was a British record label active from 1922 through 1927.

Aco was a budget label, producing 10 inch and 12 inch double sided gramophone records. Aco was a subsidiary of the Aeolian Company Ltd. of London, which in turn was an affiliate of the United States based Vocalion Records.  The material was mostly popular dance tunes and songs of the day, together with some light Classics and operatic selections.  Aco seems to have made no recordings themselves, instead taking masters from both British and US Aeolian, as well as leasing masters from U.S.-based Gennett Records. Sometimes these re-releases on Aco had the recording artists listed on the label under various pseudonyms.  The discs were manufactured, alongside Aeolian Vocalion discs, at the factory of the Universal Music Company at Hayes.

The brand was discontinued in 1927 and replaced by the Broadcast and Broadcast Twelve Records brands.

Artists on the label included the Broadway Band, Merrie's Dance Quintette, The Lyricals and the St. Hilda Prize Band.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1793 was unanimously adopted on 21 December 2007.

Resolution 
The Security Council this morning extended the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Sierra Leone (UNIOSIL) until 30 September 2008, with an eye to terminating the mandate at that time.

Unanimously adopting resolution 1793 (2007), the Council requested the Secretary-General to submit by 31 January 2008 a completion strategy for the Office, including at least a 20 per cent reduction in staff by 31 March 2008; a continued mission at 80 per cent of the current strength until 30 June 2008; and the termination of UNIOSIL’s mandate by 30 September 2008.

By the terms of the text, the Council expressed its intention that, on the expiration of its mandate, UNIOSIL should be replaced by a United Nations integrated political office to carry forward the peacebuilding process, mobilize international donor support, support the work of the Peacebuilding Commission and Fund, promote national reconciliation and support the constitutional reform process.  It requested the Secretary-General to submit specific proposals to that end in April 2008.

The Council called upon all parties in Sierra Leone to ensure that the 2008 local elections are peaceful, transparent, free and fair, and called upon the Government to provide the necessary support for the electoral institutions.  It encouraged the Government to continue its close engagement with the Peacebuilding Commission, including through the regular monitoring of progress in the implementation of the Sierra Leone Peacebuilding Cooperation Framework.

Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the Council decided to exempt from the travel ban measures imposed by paragraph 5 of resolution 1132 (1997) the travel of any witnesses whose presence at trial before the Special Court for Sierra Leone was required.
