Valiant Swart (born Pierre Nolte, 25 November 1965), is a South African musician, Afrikaans folk rock singer-songwriter, and actor from Wellington.

Career
Born in Wellington, he resided in Stellenbosch. In 1977, at 11 years old, Valiant was given a guitar by his father and taught himself to play songs from artists like George Baker and Joe Dolan. Two years later he owned his first electric guitar. He writes and sings in both English and Afrikaans. The work that was begun by artists like Anton Goosen and, later, Koos Kombuis was continued by Swart.

He has released a great number of albums debuting in 1996 with the album Die Mystic Boer. In 2014, he released a collaboration with the South African rapper Jack Parow called Tema van jou lied.

Sonvanger
He is most famous for his song "Sonvanger" (meaning sun catcher) from his 2002 album Maanhare. He wrote the song after the suicide of a young Afrikaans musician from Stellenbosch. Swart wrote it with the musician's mother in mind, longing for her lost son.

He adds in an interview: "The song has since taken on a life of its own; it seems to have brought comfort to a lot of bereaved people, which, to be honest, makes me feel real good."

The song has been covered multiple times notably by Corlea Botha, Jurie Els, Laurika Rauch, Karen Zoid, Theuns Jordaan and Refentse.

The Legislative Council of Newfoundland was the upper house of the General Assembly of Newfoundland from 1833 to 1934.

The Legislative Council was appointed by the governor of Newfoundland, not elected. Bills were submitted by the House of Assembly to the Council, which could approve, reject or amend them; if amended, bills were returned to the House of Assembly for approval.

From 1842 to 1848, the elected House of Assembly and appointed Legislative Council sat together as a single Amalgamated Assembly. After 1848, the two legislative bodies again sat separately.

In 1854, the British Government granted a new constitution to Newfoundland establishing an Executive Council of not more than seven members of the majority party and a Legislative Council of not more than 15 members upon nomination of the ministry.

The Legislative Council of Newfoundland and the House of Assembly met for the last time in February 1934 to pass the legislation which provided for their suspensions. The Royal Commission which was established in 1933 concluded that Newfoundland's problems were self-made, as noted in the Amulree Report, and it was recommended that the legislature be suspended and be replaced by a Commission of Government appointed by the British Government.

When the Newfoundland House of Assembly was reinstituted following the admission of the colony into Canadian Confederation the Legislative Council was not brought back into existence. However, Term 14(2) of the Newfoundland Terms of Union allows for the province to re-establish the Legislative Council.

Frechen-Königsdorf station is a station in the village of Königsdorf in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the Cologne–Aachen high-speed railway.

The station was opened as Königsdorf on 6 September 1841 on a section of the Cologne–Aachen railway that was opened by the Rhenish Railway Company between Cologne and Müngersdorf at the same time. In the late 19th century, it was renamed Großkönigsdorf. In the 1990s, during the upgrading of the Cologne-Aachen line, Deutsche Bahn renamed Großkönigsdorf station as Frechen-Königsdorf. Since the upgrading of the line to four tracks in 2002, the station has only been served by S-Bahn services.

The station is served by Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line S13 between Sindorf or Düren and Troisdorf and line S19 between Düren and Hennef (Sieg), Blankenberg (Sieg), Herchen or Au (Sieg). Together these lines provide a service every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on the weekend. During the peak, line S12 also provides services every 20 minutes between Horrem and Hennef (Sieg).

New Territories East is the eastern part of New Territories, covering North, Tai Po, Sha Tin, and Sai Kung District.

History 
All districts except Sai Kung District have been connected by the Kowloon–Canton Railway (now East Rail line) since its completion in 1910, and later the Tai Po Road.

In 1985, "East New Territories" and "South New Territories" electoral-college constituencies were created. East New Territories consisted of North District, Tai Po District and Sha Tin District, while South New Territories consisted of Sai Kung District, Tsuen Wan District and Islands District. The electoral colleges lasted for two terms until they were replaced by the geographical constituencies in 1991 when the first direct election to the Legislative Council were introduced.

In the 1991 election, the directly elected "New Territories North" and "New Territories East" constituencies were created, each returning two members to the Legislative Council using the two-seat constituency two vote system. New Territories North consisted of North and Tai Po Districts, while New Territories East consisted of Sha Tin and Sai Kung Districts. The two seats in New Territories North were won by the Fung Chi-wood and Tik Chi-yuen of the pro-democracy United Democrats–Meeting Point coalition which also won a landslide in the other constituencies, the New Territories East elected two independents, the radical Emily Lau and moderate Andrew Wong.

The electoral system was overhauled after one term, replaced by the single-constituency single-vote system in the 1995 Legislative Council election with four new constituencies, "New Territories East", "New Territories South-east", "New Territories North" and "New Territories North-east". Although Emily Lau and Andrew Wong were elected in New Territories East and New Territories South-east, Cheung Hon-chung of the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) and Allen Lee of the pro-business Liberal Party each defeated the Democratic Party candidates in New Territories North and New Territories North-east.

Following the handover in 1997, the "New Territories East" constituency replaced the colonial constituencies. It remained in place until 2021 under the change of electoral system, "New Territories North", "New Territories North East", and "New Territories South East" were installed as the new constituencies.

This is a list of United States ambassadors to Laos. The United States established full diplomatic relations with Laos in 1955, following its full independence from France in 1954.

On December 29, 1961, during the Laotian Civil War, President John F. Kennedy made the Ambassador to Laos the de facto commander of U.S. military and paramilitary operations within the Kingdom of Laos for the length of the war.

Accounting for American personnel missing in Laos and clearing unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the wars in Indochina were the initial focuses of the post-1975 bilateral relationship. Since that time the relationship has broadened to include cooperation on a range of issues including counter-narcotics, health, child nutrition, environmental sustainability, trade liberalization, and English language training. This expansion in cooperation has accelerated since 2009, with the launch of the Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI), which serves as a platform to address complex, transnational development and policy changes in the Lower Mekong sub-region. The United States and Laos share a commitment to ensuring a prosperous and sustainable future for the Mekong sub-region. In July 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Laos, marking the first visit by a Secretary of State since 1955.

A large part of U.S. bilateral assistance to Laos is devoted to improving health and child nutrition. The United States also helps improve trade policy in Laos, promotes sustainable development and biodiversity conservation, and works to strengthen the criminal justice system and law enforcement. The United States has provided significant support for clearance of UXO from the war, particularly cluster munitions, as well as for risk education and victims’ assistance.

Armageddon is a 1972–1974 underground comic title published by Last Gasp. Written and illustrated by Barney Steel, the comic expressed an anarcho-capitalist philosophy, influenced by Ayn Rand, and explored sociopolitical themes.

Publication history
The first issue of Armageddon appeared as an issue of All-New Underground Comix. It is the only comic book from that series to continue onto its own series. Armageddon ran for three issues.

Themes
Armageddon #2 included a story which explored racism from an individualist perspective. The story focused on an African-American gold miner and a Caucasian logger who marry spouses of the opposite race (the gold miner marries a white woman and the logger marries a black woman), form a business partnership, then participate in a sex orgy. Steel depicted white and black communities as equally racist, and expressed the view that in order to end racism, people should forget race and drop out of society to return to an economy based on gold and bartering. Steel's political views were anarcho-capitalist, with his philosophy taking inspiration from the writing of author/philosopher Ayn Rand. The satire of Steel's work was occasionally controversial, such as in the first issue, which depicted civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. sodomizing segregationist George Wallace.

Reception
Steel's comic books were regarded within underground comix circles as being right-wing. M. Steven Fox, in contrast, writing for Comixjoint, feels that Steel's influences from Objectivism makes him closer to left-wing anarchists like Robert Crumb than right-wing pundits like Rush Limbaugh. Leonard Rifas, writing in Multicultural Comics: From Zap to Blue Beetle, calls Steel's dialogue "wooden". Frank R. Wallace describes the comic as being "philosophically flawed".

The Antonov A-2 and related designs were a family of two-seat training gliders produced in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 1940s, all derived from the single-seat Antonov A-1 family. They were produced in large numbers, with at least 2,300 built by 1937, and together with the single-seaters, production exceeded 7,600 by the same year.

Like the A-1, the A-2 was a minimalist primary glider, with a conventional tail mounted on a boom and a strut-braced monoplane wing, mounted parasol-fashion. However, while the single-seat primary gliders featured wings of constant chord, the two-seaters used the longer-span, tapered wings that had been developed for the soaring versions of the single-seat family (P-s1 and P-s2). The other major difference was the design of the cockpit gondola. The single-seaters featured an aerodynamic fairing that slid on and off to provide access to the pilot's seat. The two-seaters, however, had a permanently fixed cockpit pod that seated the pilot and instructor in tandem, open cockpits, each with a small windscreen The rear cockpit was located directly beneath the wing and was accessed via a door on the port side of the gondola. Apart from the change in gondola, all other components remained interchangeable with the Ps-2

Xavier Gravelaine (born 5 October 1968) is a French football manager and former football player, who played for many clubs in France and Europe and for the France national team.

He was sometimes seen as a mercenary because of the impressive number of teams he played for but often appreciated by supporters. In his spell in England, for Watford, he is remembered by the fans for scoring a brace in a 3–2 win over Southampton in December 1999.

After his retirement, he became a coach at FC Istres, but did not manage to save the team from relegation. He was a consultant on France Télévisions from 2004 to 2012, on Eurosport in 2013–2014. In 2014, he was appointed Deputy Director of Stade Malherbe Caen.
