The Korea Buddhist Federation, also called the Chosŏn Buddhist Federation, sometime abbreviated Chobulyŏn, supervises all activities of Buddhists in North Korea. The organization was founded on Dec. 26, 1946.

In 1999 there were 10,000 Buddhists in North Korea, seventy percent of whom were women, and 60 Buddhist temples.

History 
The KBF was established as the North Chosôn Buddhist General Federation on Dec. 26, 1945. It adopted the current name in 1972. In 1945 and in 1949 the organization adopted a five point and a seven point platforms, respectively, which pledged to uphold the North Korean constitution, eliminate vestiges of Japanese imperialism, assist the army, build friendship with the Soviet Union and other socialist states, work for reunification and "foster the spirit of the working class among Buddhists for the prosperity of the father land and the development of its culture." Little information is available about the Korea Buddhist Federation between 1945 and 1972, other than the names and terms of office of its first and second presidents – Kim Se-ryul (1946–1948) and An Yong-suk (1963–1978). Kim Sunggyôk was a proxies from 1948 to an undetermined date. This was a period of intense anti-religious propaganda and the Federation was said to have changed its name and gone into hiding several times until 1972.

After the passage of the 1972 North Korean constitution, the policy toward religion softened somewhat. The Korean Buddhist Federation began to make declarations against the repression of Buddhists under the Park Chung-hee regime in the south, such as the arrest of Pastor Pak Hyong-gyo.

In 1989 the KBF opened a Buddhist Academy at their headquarters in the Moranbong district of Pyongyang. The period of study last for three years and student are accepted if they have a high school graduation certificate and are recommended by a monastery of one of the KBFs city or county committees.

International contacts 
In 1986 the Federation joined the World Fellowship of Buddhists.

The KBF has been active in establishing contacts with other Buddhist organizations around the world, including the Tokyo based Korean Buddhists Association in Japan, which is a member organization of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon). Other contacts have been made with Buddhists in China, India, Nepal, Thailand and Sri Lanka.

In 1976 the KBF joined the Asian Buddhist Committee for Peace. It joined the Asia Buddhist Conference in 1990, upon the latter's establishment.

HeroBox sends custom care packages to American soldiers around the world. Founder, Ryan Housley, realized the need for customized care packages after receiving requests for specific items from his younger brother who was deployed in Iraq.  The standard care packages were not always meeting the troops needs or wants.  This was mostly because the soldiers did not have direct input regarding the preparation of their care package.  HeroBox allows the soldier to customize their care package so they are receiving exactly what they need and want.  What started as a family's simple effort of supporting their Hero, has grown into a non-profit organization supporting all American Heroes in the United States Armed Forces.  HeroBox launched their official website on Memorial Day 2008 where soldiers can order and customize their HeroBoxes online.

Attidius (fl. 1st century BC), possibly to be identified with Marcus Atilius Bulbus, was a senator of the Roman Republic. Sometime in the early 70s BC, he was convicted of a crime, probably maiestas, and exiled. Attidius found refuge in the court of Mithridates VI of Pontus, and the two men were friends for many years. The sole evidence for Attidius's life and career is a passage by the Greek historian Appian in his Mithridatic Wars.

Around 67 BC, during the Third Mithridatic War, Attidius joined a conspiracy to assassinate Mithridates. The plot was discovered, and the Pontic king put him to death. In recognition of his rank, Mithridates forbade his torture. The other conspirators suffered protracted torture, but the freedmen attached to Attidius were granted clemency by the king, because they were judged to have acted out of obligation to their patron.

Attidius or Atilius?
The friend of Mithridates is the only senator known to have the nomen Attidius during the Republic, and since other names in Appian are problematic, his Ἀττίδιος has been read also as Attilius. It has been argued that "Attidius" could in fact be Marcus Atilius Bulbus, a corrupt juryman who, according to Cicero, accepted bribes in the trial of Statius Albius Oppianicus in 74 BC. Atilius Bulbus was himself put on trial sometime between 74 and 70 BC and charged under the Lex Cornelia de maiestate, a capital crime, for attempting to incite the legion commanded by Gaius Cosconius in Illyria. Except during proscriptions and civil wars, the Romans of the Republic preferred the punishment of exile to execution for men of rank.

It has been conjectured that the military efforts of Atilius in Illyria were on behalf of either Aemilius Lepidus, who along with Marcus Brutus (consul 77 BC) attempted to resist the senatorial oligarchy,  or Quintus Sertorius and his Hispanian government in exile. If Atilius is to be identified with Attidius, a Sertorian connection could explain how the exile ended up in the court of Mithridates, but this reconstruction of events is "highly speculative".

Atilius Bulbus came from "one of the most famous houses of the plebeian nobility, now in decay and showing no more consuls." Ronald Syme suggested that he might be a descendant of the M. Atilius Bulbus who was consul in 245 and 235 BC. Cato, the brother-in-law of Marcus Brutus, married an Atilia, indicating ties between the Bruti and Atilii that might point toward Bulbus's motives in Illyria.

Brett Adam Hestla (born February 4, 1973) is an American musician.

Career 
In the late 1990s, Hestla's band Virgos Merlot was signed to Atlantic Records. After their first release, Signs of a Vacant Soul, he became the touring bassist for Creed after the departure of Brian Marshall. When Creed disbanded in 2004, Hestla began a career as a record producer, forming the independent label Silent Majority in Orlando, Florida and working with bands such as The Supervillains, Framing Hanley, Transmit Now, Faktion, Tantric, Redfine, Refuse The Fall, Bad Axis, Iodine Sky, Calefactor and Seven Day Sonnet.

In 2005, Hestla became the lead vocalist of Dark New Day. Dark New Day released their first full length, Twelve Year Silence later that year. The band's single "Brother" reached #7 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock charts.

After touring, Clint Lowery returned to Sevendust and Mclawhorn and Hunt joined Evanescence, causing Dark New Day to disband. Hestla began producing for new and up-and-coming bands.

In 2014, he formed a band called A Dark Line. The band released their debut EP called Running From The Light in 2015, available for download only.

Dying Vine is a 2005 studio album by the band Aletheian. The band re-released the album in 2008 under their label, IronClad Records, a branch of Metal Blade Records. In 2015 the band re-released the album a third time for the original ten year anniversary on their Bandcamp page. The first re-release also featured a cover of the song "How Could I" by the band Cynic.

Critical reception
Greg Pruto of AllMusic reports "A Christian progressive death metal band? Is there really such a thing? As evidenced by the sophomore release credited to Aletheian, Dying Vine, there sure is. The album was originally issued back in 2005 (after the group had issued several recordings under the Crutch moniker), but three years later it was reissued with the same exact track listing, in a remixed and remastered form (and with a new and improved front cover to boot!). From the aforementioned description, Dying Vine is an onslaught of metallic brutality, as the death metal guttural growls, razor-sharp high-tech riffs, and impeccable double bass drumming are seemingly nonstop. As with most death metal-esque bands, you'd never know what Aletheian have to say lyrically, as it's darn near impossible to decipher any of the prose without the aid of a lyric sheet (which, wisely, is included in the CD booklet). But despite the group's "Christian spin" on the genre, Aletheian sound like your average, ordinary death metal band, as evidenced by such ditties as "Paragon", "Out from the Shadows", and "The Dividing Line"."

John McEntire of HM Magazine writes "Since Alex Kenis joined Becoming the Archetype, Aletheian has been quick to quell any rumors about disbanding with performances, including this year’s Cornerstone, as well as a label deal and re-issue of 2005’s Dying Vine under Metal Blade’s Ironclad Recordings. Already a great album, Dying Vine sounds even better remixed and remastered by Westside Studios (Nile, Killswitch Engage, Between the Buried and Me). Also featuring a cover of Cynic’s "How Could I" and completely new artwork, this will appeal to old fans and newcomers alike. Making the most of their new connections, Aletheian is here to stay."

Solomon ben Reuben Bonfed (late 14th-century-early 15th century) was a Spanish rabbi and poet who lived in Zaragoza.

His diwan, still extant in manuscript (Adolf Neubauer, "Cat. Bodl. Hebr. MSS." No. 1984), is notable, as well as for the historical information contained in it.

Bonfed was present at the controversy of Tortosa (1413–14); and many of his poems are addressed to those who took part in it.

The diwan contains also an answer, in rimed prose, to a letter of the converted Jew, Astruc Raimuch of Fraga, in which the neophyte enthusiastically propounds the dogmas of Christianity, and endeavors to demonstrate the Trinity, original sin, and redemption, from the Bible. Apologizing for discussing the contents of a letter not addressed to him, Bonfed minutely examines the Christian dogmas, and proceeds to argue how irrational and untenable they are. He says: "You twist and distort the Bible text to establish the Trinity. Had you a quaternity to prove, you would demonstrate it quite as strikingly and convincingly from the Old Testament."

Coastal strand is a plant community of flowering plants that form along the shore in loose sand just above the high tide line.

Many plants that grow in this area are endemic to the strand. The community has low species diversity because so few plants can tolerate the harsh conditions of high winds, battering salt spray, and extreme high temperatures in the summer. Plants must also be adapted to sandy saline soils, with extremely low nutrient loads, and low water holding capacity.

Plants that grow along the coast are very tolerant of the winds and salt and sand loaded ocean spray. Many species are succulent, storing salty water in their leaves. The leaves are often light colored or grey green to reflect sunlight and reduce desiccation. Hairy leaves may reduce evapotranspiration, may help gather moisture from the air, and may reflect a small portion of incoming solar radiation thereby reducing the plants internal temperature. They are often very low in height with prostrate stems and spread by rooting at the nodes and may have deep tap roots, both rooting systems helping to anchor the shifting sands as the plants colonize the beach above high tide.
