The Reign of Comus is a Renaissance painting painted by Lorenzo Costa for the Studiolo of Isabella d'Este in the Ducal Palace, Mantua. It is in tempera on canvas, and measures 152 cm (59.8 in) by 238 cm (93.7 in). It is now in the Louvre in Paris.

The first paintings for the Studiolo were completed by Andrea Mantegna, and he appears to have started this painting, but it was completed  by Costa between 1506 - 1511, after Mantegna's death, when Costa had been named court painter.

The iconography of this painting is complex. To the left of the foreground tree, a sitting Comus, the ruler of a land of bacchanals, with his head tilted looks at Venus. To his right, Apollo seems to serenade another sitting woman. In the center, Dionysus strokes the hair of a drunken maiden, identified as Nicaea. She had spurned his advances; and he overpowered her with wine in order to rape her. Meanwhile, to the right of an elaborate arch, Janus bifrons and Hermes shoo away poorly clothed figures from the enjoyments of Comus.

The elaborate painting may have a moral justifying some of the virtues of reveling, or perhaps it is a melancholic work which exalts as virtuous, only Nicaea, the one character oblivious to the orgies around her.

Lucy Johnston Sypher (August 6, 1907 – December 1990) wrote a series of four children's books based loosely on her childhood in the small prairie town of Wales, North Dakota: The Edge of Nowhere (1972), Cousins and Circuses (1974), The Spell of the Northern Lights (1975), and The Turnabout Year (1976).

Her life as depicted in her books
The books describe the writer's life early in Wales, as the daughter of George Henry (known as Harry), the town banker, and Caroline, a church organist and music teacher from a cultured, well-educated, big-city family.  In the books, eleven-year-old Lucy attends a small country school and befriends the three daughters of an emigrant English family and their spoiled brother, who is nicknamed "The Prince of Wales" (punning upon his tendency to cry easily and the name of the town.)  She visits her big-city cousins and is irritated by her mischievous older brother, Amory.  The final book, The Turnabout Year, describes her mother's difficult recovery after the birth of her younger brother, George, and Lucy's decision to attend high school in Minneapolis.

Upon publication, Sypher said that events described in the books were highly fictionalized.

Background
Sypher was raised in Wales, the daughter of George and Caroline Gale Johnston. She graduated from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1927 and received her master's degree from Tufts University in 1929. She was an instructor of English and history at Lasell Junior College in Auburndale, Massachusetts for some years before she published her first book.

Lucy Johnston married Wylie Sypher in 1929. She and her husband raised their family in Massachusetts.

A Nomadic bag is a bag woven by various nomadic tribes of the Middle East and Central Asia for utilitarian and decorative purposes.

Hand knotted carpets and hand woven kilims (flatwoven textiles) were made by various nomadic tribes of the Middle East and Central Asia, including the Baloch, the Turkmen, the Afshars, the Bakhtyari, the Qashqai, and the Kurds, among others. The bags and the larger rugs were woven in the same techniques as The most common technique is hand-knotted pile, but many tribal bags were also done in the various flat woven techniques including plain weave (kilim weave), soumac technique and other less common techniques.

Bags were used for transporting goods while on migration, and also served as storage containers to be used in the tent or yurt. There are also specialized bags such as bags for carrying mirrors, bags for carrying the Qur'an, bags for carrying tent stakes and more. Often the bags are known by specific names based on the function they served.  Some common bag names are "cuval" (camel bag), "khorjin" (double-sided donkey bags), "taache" (grain bag), and "mafrash" (bedding bag) to name just a few.

The back panel of a bag will often have little or no design. On bags with knotted pile faces, the back of the bag will usually be executed in a plain woven kilim technique.

Bag face
From the collectors point of view, the front or the face of the bag is much more interesting and more collectible. Often, with antique bags, the backs of the bag have been separated and discarded at some point and only the bagface remains.

The Mont Ham is a mountain in the southern Notre Dame Mountains (part of the Appalachians), in the municipality of Ham-Sud, in the Les Sources Regional County Municipality, in region of Estrie, in Quebec, Canada.

Mount Ham is located in Saint-Joseph-de-Ham-Sud, very close to Ham-Nord, in the Eastern Townships (Cantons-de-l'Est) in Quebec and is managed by a non-profit organization, "Le développement du Mont Ham". The mission of the organization is to promote the fauna and flora of the region as well as to create new services and activities that meet the needs of the community and the clientele. The Mount Ham site is also a center for community initiatives.

Geography 
It is part of the lowlands of the Appalachians.

Its primary summit lies at an elevation of  and its drop is 360 meters, with a prominence of . Marked trails on the mountain permit visitors a 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape.

Activities
The park in which it is situated is open year-round and offers hiking, scrambling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, disc golf, and camping. In 2014, the park became the first in the Eastern Townships to gain "regional park" status, along with a $1,367,250 grant for expansion and improvements.

Geology
While its rocks are considerably older, Mont Ham is surrounded by moraine that was deposited approximately 12,200 years BP during glaciation. The bedrock of the mountain is composed of boninite in an ophiolite complex.

Toponym 
The toponym "Mont Ham Regional Park" is linked to the name of the mountain. The latest toponym was made official on December 5, 1968 at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.

United States Navy Armed Guard units were established during World War II and headquartered in New Orleans.  The purpose of the guard was to man the deck guns of merchant ships to provide a nominal defense against attack. This was to counter the constant danger presented by enemy submarines, surface raiders, fighter aircraft and bombers.   There was a shortage of escort vessels to provide the merchant vessels with adequate protection.  The NAG had three training centers, at Norfolk, Virginia; San Diego, California; and Gulfport, Mississippi.  At the end of the war, there were 144,857 men serving in the Navy Armed Guard on 6,200 ships.

Unit composition 

The United States Navy Armed Guard (USNAG) were U.S. Navy gun crews consisting of Gunner's Mates, Coxswains and Boatswains, Radiomen, Signalmen, an occasional Pharmacist's Mate, and toward the end of the war a few radarmen serving at sea on merchant ships.  Armed Guard crews served on Allied merchant marine ships in every theatre of the war.  Typically the crew was led by a single commissioned officer, but earlier in the war chiefs and even petty officers had command.

Duty 

The assignment as an Armed Guardsman was often dreaded because of the constant danger. Merchant ships were slow, unwieldy, and priority targets of submarines and planes. Furthermore, merchant ships were among the last to receive updated equipment.  Early on in the war, some ships only had a few machine guns, so the crews painted telephone poles to imitate the barrels of larger guns.  The most common armament mounted on merchant ships were the MK II 20mm Oerlikon autocannon and the 3"/50, 4"/50, and 5"/38 deck guns.

When practicable, the Navy Armed Guard aboard a merchant ship would provide cross-training to merchant crew members in the use of the guns in the event the Navy personnel were killed or injured.  The Navy Armed Guardsmen would typically sail round trip on the same ship, occasionally they would get a different assignment upon reaching their destination depending on convoy schedules.

In film 
The 1943 film Action in the North Atlantic, featuring Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Massey, and Alan Hale, illustrates the importance of the Naval Armed Guard and how it interfaced with the Merchant Marine officers and crew.

During the 2001–02 English football season, Blackburn Rovers competed in the Premier League (known as the FA Barclaycard Premiership for sponsorship reasons).

Season summary
Blackburn won just four of their first 14 league games, a run which also included seven draws and three defeats. However, they had little time to savour their Worthington Cup glory that resulted from a 2–1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on 24 February - they were deep in the relegation mire and occupying third place from bottom following a dreadful winter period, as they won two and lost ten in 12 games, the two wins seeing them do a decidedly one-sided double over Charlton Athletic (2–0 away and 4–1 home). But Graeme Souness inspired his side, bolstered by the arrival of striker Andy Cole, to a considerable turnaround in form - seeing them win six in their final 12 games - which saw them climb to 10th place in the final table. UEFA Cup qualification had already been achieved thanks to the Worthington Cup triumph, but the club's fans were left wondering whether it could have been achieved automatically had it not been for the club's dismal winter period. Especially, their league record produced four more defeats than wins in contrast to a final goal difference of +4, concluding them as a comprehensively winning team despite their inconsistency.

At the end of the season, striker Mark Hughes retired at the age of 38, after a playing career spanning 22 years that had yielded two league titles, four FA Cups, a Cup Winners' Cup and three League Cups.

JuniorNet was a commercial online service provider in the United States which provided content for children.

History
JuniorNet was founded in 1996 by Alan Rothenberg, a serial entrepreneur who previously created KinderActive, a children's educational CD-ROM producer. He raised $2 million from venture capitalists by spring 1997, and raised another $70 million with Lehman Brothers by April 1998.

In April 1999, RCN acquired a 47.5% stake in JuniorNet for $47 million. As part of the deal, JuniorNet bought Lancit Media, producer of The Puzzle Place and Reading Rainbow, from RCN for $22 million. RCN intended to integrate content from Lancit into JuniorNet as a broadband service, and offer JuniorNet as an add-on package to their cable and internet offerings.

JuniorNet rejected even limited e-commerce and advertising, instead relying exclusively on its $9.95 per month subscription fee as a revenue stream.

In June 2000, JuniorNet formed partnerships with South Carolina Educational Communications, Maryland Public Broadcasting Foundation, and Nebraskans for Public Television. The public television stations received equity stakes in JuniorNet and would receive commissions for new subscriptions generated through marketing by the stations. The stations could also offer cobranded versions of JuniorNet. Additionally, JuniorNet's subsidiary Lancit Media would produce content for the stations.

By December 2000, JuniorNet had laid off about a third of its staff of 120, bringing headcount to 80. Further layoffs occurred in February 2001.

In 2001, JuniorNet ceased operations. In the foreclosure process, JuniorNet was transferred to J2 Interactive, in which RCN would hold a 23.5% stake. Additionally, RCN regained full ownership of Lancit, which then became RCN Entertainment.

In 2004, Encore published a CD-ROM including games from the JuniorNet service, entitled "Elementary Advantage 2004: JuniorNet Greatest Hits Vol. I".
