Acheik (; ) or luntaya acheik (လွန်းတစ်ရာအချိတ်; ), is the name of the indigenous Burmese textile pattern. It features intricate waves interwoven with bands of horizontal stripes, embellished with arabesque designs. Luntaya (; ), which literally means a "hundred shuttles," refers to the time-consuming, expensive, and complex process of weaving this pattern, which requires using 50 to 200 individual shuttles, each wound with a different color of silk. The weaving is labor-intensive, requiring at least two weavers to manipulate the shuttles to achieve the interwoven wave-like patterns.

Acheik is most commonly used as a textile for male paso or female htamein. The color palettes used in acheik incorporate a bold array of contrasting shades in a similar color range to create a shimmering trompe-l'œil effect. Designs for men feature simpler zig-zag, cable and interlocking lappet motifs, while those for women interweave undulating waves with arabesque embellishments such as floral motifs or creepers.

Production
The towns of Amarapura and Wundwin remain major domestic centers of traditional acheik weaving, although in recent years, cheaper factory-produced imitations from China and India have significantly disrupted Myanmar's traditional cottage industry.

Origins
Acheik weaving originates in Amarapura, near the Pahtodawgyi pagoda. The name acheik may derive from the name of the quarter in which the weavers lived, Letcheik Row (လက်ချိတ်တန်း); the term itself was previously called waik (ဝိုက်), referring to the woven zig-zag pattern.

While some sources claim that the acheik pattern was introduced by Manipuri weavers during the late 1700s, there are no comparable Manipuri textiles that resemble acheik. The wave-like patterns may have in fact been inspired by Neolithic motifs and natural phenomena (i.e., waves, clouds, indigenous flora and fauna). Acheik-type designs are found on pottery dating back to the Pyu city states (400s-900s CE), as well as in temple wall paintings dating back to the Bagan Kingdom era (1000s-1200s CE). Tributary gifts bestowed to the Burmese royal court may also have provided an additional source of inspiration. The textile became popular during the Konbaung dynasty, during which sumptuary laws regulated who could wear acheik clothing. The acheik pattern was exclusively worn by members of the royal court, officials, and their entourages.

Uberto Gambara (1489–1549) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop and cardinal.

Biography

Uberto Gambara was born in Brescia on 23 January 1489, the son of Gianfrancesco Gambara and Alda Pio di Carpi.  Veronica Gambara was his sister.

When he was 10 years old, he was destined for a career in the church. He was named provost of Verolanuova and chaplain of San Giacomo in 1502. He briefly left the ecclesiastical state, fighting alongside his brother Brunoro in the French army of Gaston of Foix, Duke of Nemours then invading Brescia.

He then reentered the ecclesiastical estate, traveling to Rome during the pontificate of Pope Leo X. The pope named him nuncio to the Kingdom of Portugal, a post he would continue to occupy during the papacies of Pope Adrian VI and Pope Clement VII. The latter pope then named him nuncio to the court of Francis I of France. In 1527, he became nuncio to the Kingdom of England. There, he coordinated with the papal legate to England, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Archbishop of York. On 15 December 1527 he carried Cardinal Wolsey's letter to Pope Clement VII in which Wolsey secretly expressed his wish to be granted special powers allowing him to annul the marriage of Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon, thus allowing the king to marry Anne Boleyn.

Pope Clement VII was imprisoned by imperial troops following the Sack of Rome (1527). During this period, Gambara traveled to Paris to attempt to raise military assistance to free the pontiff.

On 8 May 1528 he was elected bishop of Tortona, coinciding with the pope naming him governor of Bologna, holding this post until 1533. He was present at the imperial coronation of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in Bologna on 24 February 1530. At the end of his governorship, he was finally consecrated as a bishop in February 1533 in Bologna by Gian Matteo Giberti, Bishop of Verona.

In 1539, Pope Paul III made him vicar of Rome. He then made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of 19 December 1539. He received the red hat and the titular church of San Silvestro in Capite on 28 January 1540. He opted for the titular church of San Martino ai Monti on 23 March 1541. On 9 January 1542 he was named administrator of the see of Policastro, resigning that administration on 7 June 1543.

He was the papal legate in Parma and Piacenza from 27 January 1542 until 5 March 1544. He opted for the titular church of Sant'Apollinare alle Terme Neroniane-Alessandrine on 15 February 1542 and then for San Crisogono on 17 October 1544.

He was the Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals from 9 January 1545 to 8 January 1546. He was then sent to France, returning to Rome on 16 December 1547. On 22 March 1548 he resigned the government of the see of Tortona in favor of his nephew, Cesare Gambara. He then traveled to Genoa, returning to Rome on 5 January 1549.

He died in Rome on 14 February 1549. His remains were returned to Brescia and he was buried in Santa Maria delle Grazie.

The Western Labor Conference was a radical Canadian labour convention held March 13-15, 1919, in Calgary. It is known for being the convention at which One Big Union was formally proposed.

Two hundred and thirty-nine delegates from five Canadian provinces attended the event. Alberta sent the largest number of delegates at 89, British Columbia sent 85, Manitoba sent 46, Saskatchewan sent 17, and Ontario sent 2. The British Columbia Federation of Labour, which was viewed as the most militant of any of the attending groups of delegates, proposed several resolutions.  They included a six-hour work day, the end of Allied interference in Russia, severance of ties to international unions outside of Canada, the end of the political imprisonment of Canadian citizens, and the acknowledgement of the impediment of labour movements under the capitalist economic system. If these demands were not met by the Canadian government by June 1, 1919, the newly formed One Big Union would call for a general strike. The resolutions concluded with a solidarity greeting addressed to the Russian Bolsheviks and the German Spartacus League. However, they met with opposition from other conference delegates. The more moderate delegates then proposed the idea of polling all registered Canadian trade unionists on the decision to establish One Big Union as well as exiting from the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada and the American Federation of Labor. The motion was defeated. In its place, the conference agreed to form a committee that would familiarize Canadian workers with the concept of One Big Union. The committee consisted of R.J. Johns, W.A. Pritchard, J. Knight, J. Naylor, and V.R. Midgley. The undercover Mountie Frank Zaneth attended as a delegate.

Superbird-B1, sometimes identified as Superbird-1B, was a geostationary communications satellite designed and manufactured by Ford Aerospace on the SSL 1300 
satellite bus. It was originally ordered by Space Communications Corporation (SCC), which later merged into the SKY Perfect JSAT Group. It had a mixed Ku-band, Ka-band and X-band payload and was rushed into launch at the 162° East longitude due to the launch failure of Superbird-B.

It was ordered in 1985 along Superbird-A, Superbird-B and Superbird-A1 on the very first order of the SSL 1300 platform. It was also the second satellite of SCC on orbit and the fourth commercial satellite of Japan to enter operations. It was used for video distribution, news gathering, remote publishing and high definition TV service to the main islands of Japan and Okinawa.

Satellite description
The spacecraft was the third satellite designed and manufactured by Ford Aerospace on the SSL 1300 satellite bus. It was based on the design of the Intelsat V series and offered a three-axis stabilized platform.

It had a launch mass of  and a 10-year design life. When stowed for launch, its dimensions were . With its solar panels fully extended it spanned . Its power system generated approximately 4 kW of power due to two wings with three solar panels each. It also had two NiH2 batteries to survive the solar eclipses. It would serve as the main satellite on the 162°E longitude position of the Superbird fleet.

Its propulsion system included an R-4D-11 liquid apogee engine (LAE) with a thrust of . It included enough propellant for orbit circularization and 10 years of operation.

Its payload is composed of 23 Ku-band plus 3 Ka-band and 2 X-band transponders.

History 
Space Communications Corporation (SCC) was founded in 1985, the same year as the original companies that later formed JSAT. In 1986, SCC ordered four spacecraft, Superbird-1, Superbird-2, Superbird-A1 and Superbird-B1, from Ford Aerospace, which became Space Systems/Loral in October 1990.

On 22 February 1990 at 23:17:00 UTC, Superbird-2 launch failed and the satellite was lost. Thus, Superbird-B1 was rushed and delivered in just 19 months. On 26 February 1992 at 23:58:10 UTC Superbird-B1, the fourth private communications satellite of Japan to orbit, was launched aboard an Ariane 44L along Arabsat-1C. It was injected into a 222 km × 35,776 km × 7° geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO), from which it climbed through three liquid apogee engine (LAE) firings.
