Duane David Allen (born April 24, 1943) is an American singer and songwriter who had formal training in both operatic and quartet singing before becoming a member of The Oak Ridge Boys in 1966. Allen is the lead singer for the quartet and is heard on the majority of their most successful songs.

Allen was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015 as a member of the Oak Ridge Boys.

Biography
Duane is considered the President and CEO of the group.  His personal hobby is the Oak Ridge Boys. He is active on social media and feels obligated to respond quickly to his fans.  He also plans out how many tour days they need each year for his employees to live comfortably.  They still tour roughly 150 days per year.

He was inducted in the Texas Gospel Music Hall of Fame. He attended East Texas State University graduating in 1966, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity.

On August 9, 2014, Allen was inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. The rest of The Oak Ridge Boys—Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban—were also inducted as honorary members.

Honors
Back in 2014, Duane received a memorial bridge honor in his hometown in Texas.  "I did not know until our bus turned down the small road that the bridge was on ‘our’ road," the singer said. "It was a complete surprise. I thought it would be south of our place, but when we turned down ‘our’ road, now named the Duane Allen Road, my stomach just about came out of my body. I was so thrilled that I did not have the proper words to express myself. I was still emotionally charged when I tried to speak.”
In October 2018 the Paris Junior College in Lamar County named a stage after him in his honor.

Personal life
He is married to Norah Lee Allen, a backup singer on the Grand Ole Opry.  Daughter Jamie is married to musician Paul Martin, formerly of Exile, more recently of Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives, and they have several children. They formed a family band called Rockland Road.  Son Dee is also a musician. He is part of a group called Tall Dark Stranger.  Duane and Norah live in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

Thomas Milton Liggett (March 29, 1944 – May 12, 2020) was a mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles. He worked in probability theory, specializing in interacting particle systems.

Early life
Thomas Milton Liggett was born on March 29, 1944, in Danville, Kentucky. Liggett moved at the age of two with his missionary parents to Latin America, where he was educated in Bueno Aires, Argentina and San Juan, Puerto Rico. He graduated from Oberlin College with a Bachelor of Arts in 1965, where he was influenced towards probability by Samuel Goldberg (b. 1925), an ex-student of William Feller. He moved to Stanford, taking classes with Kai Lai Chung, and writing his thesis, Weak Convergence of Conditioned Sums of Independent Random Vectors, in 1969 with advisor Samuel Karlin on problems associated with the invariance principle. He graduated with a Master of Science in 1966 and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1969.

Career
Liggett joined the faculty at UCLA in 1969, where he spent his entire career. He became a professor in the mathematics department in 1976, and served as department chair from 1991 to 1994. He retired in 2011, but remained active within the department. He was the advisor of Norman Matloff.

Liggett had contributed to numerous areas of probability theory, including subadditive ergodic theory, random graphs, renewal theory, and was best known for his pioneering work on interacting particle systems, including the contact process, the voter model, and the exclusion process.  His two books in this field have been influential.

Liggett was the managing editor of the Annals of Probability from 1985–1987. He held a Sloan Research Fellowship from 1973–1977, and a Guggenheim Fellowship from 1997–1998. He was the Wald Memorial Lecturer of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1996, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2008. He had been elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2012, and in 2012 he also became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Personal life
Liggett married Christina Marie Goodale on August 19, 1972. They had two children, Timothy and Amy. Liggett died on May 12, 2020, in Los Angeles.

Friedrich "Fritz" Ludwig Stammberger (born 22 June 1940) was a German mountaineer, skier, and explorer. He was a pioneer of mountain skiing and holds the record for the highest ski descent which he made down Cho Oyu mountain. Stammberger disappeared while scouting an expedition of Tirich Mir in Pakistan. His widow, Janice Pennington, published Husband, Lover, Spy after his disappearance with the help of her third husband Carlos de Abreu. The book claimed Stammberger was a spy working with the CIA and that ultimately led to his disappearance.

Life
Stammberger was born in Munich, Germany. One of his earliest memories was of his home being bombed by allied forces during World War II. He immigrated to Aspen, Colorado in 1963. Stammberger took part in an expedition of Cho Oyu in April 1964. During the climb, his two mountaineering companions came down with high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Stammberger completed the summit of Cho Oyu without oxygen, the first person to climb an 8,000 meter peak without supplemental oxygen. When he returned to camp where his companions remained, he used skis to descend the mountain. His partners died before they could receive help.

Stammberger married model and The Price Is Right hostess Janice Pennington in 1974.

Disappearance
Stammberger disappeared in October 1975 while scouting an expedition of Tirich Mir in Pakistan. A 1977 expedition was made by his climbing companions to find Stammberger.

Stammberger's widow, Janice Pennington received military intelligence that Stammberger had joined the mujahideen and died in the early 1980s in Afghanistan. The CIA may have recruited Stammberger to gather information. Pennington's search for Stammberger continued until 1992 and led her to interview multiple members of U.S. and Soviet intelligence. The area of his disappearance is notable as it lies between the (then) Soviet Union, Afghan, and Chinese borders and was hostile during that time leading up to the Soviet-Afghan War. Pennington published the findings of her decades long search for Stammberger in Husband, Lover, Spy.

Everybody Dance Now was an Australian reality television dance competition that premiered on 12 August 2012 on Network Ten. The show was produced by FremantleMedia Australia, and hosted by Sarah Murdoch.

Everybody Dance Now was open to solo acts, duos and groups of any age, style or size. They were divided into two teams, with each being led by the dance masters Jason Derülo and Kelly Rowland, who would "challenge, train and mentor" their acts. The teams faced a studio audience in each episode "to do battle in a colosseum-style dance duel." During the heats stage of the competition, eight acts would perform in each episode, with two acts winning $10,000 and progressing through to the finals to compete for the ultimate prize of $250,000.

On 21 August 2012, as ratings were dwindling, Network Ten considered changing the weekly schedule for the show, from three half-hour episodes to one full hour episode a week, but when those plans fell through, it decided to cancel the show due to poor ratings. The prize money was then donated to charity.

Overview

Format
Everybody Dance Now consisted of two phases: heats and finals. The show was open to dancers of all ages and styles, who were divided into two teams, with each being taken under the guidance of big name entertainment celebrities known as the dance masters, to do battle in a colosseum-style duel. During the heats stage of the competition, eight acts would perform during each episode in four duels. Once each duel was complete, the studio audience would vote for the act they think should progress through to the dance duel decider round. During this round, the studio audience would vote again for the two acts they think should win $10,000 and progress through to the finals. During the finals, dance acts would compete for the ultimate prize of $250,000. But there turned out to be no finals, and of course, no winners, due to the show's cancellation.

Production
Everybody Dance Now was filmed at a location in Melbourne with a live studio audience.

The C7 Nella Bayonet is a standard issued multi-purpose infantry bayonet by the Canadian Armed Forces of Canada, issued to match the serving standard issued C7/C8 variant rifles, supplied and manufactured by Nella Canada. It was replaced by CAN Bayonet 2000/2005 after 2004.

Description 

The C7 Nella Bayonet is a Canadian replicate of US M7 Bayonet, fitted with moulded black plastic handgrip, 295 mm in total length, a muzzle ring diameter of  with a 168 mm stainless-steel spear-point-type blade.

C7 Nella Bayonet can be fitted to standard issued C7/C8 rifle and its variants, most notably, the standard issued infantry C7A2 rifle, C8 and SFW variants of C7 type rifles.

The C7 Bayonet was designed to replace the outdated C1 bayonet and X2E1 bayonet, after the change of standard issued rifle from C1A1 rifle to C7 rifles by the Canadian Armed Forces.

There is no major significant difference between the C1 bayonet and C7 bayonet, but the change of standard issued rifles is critical to the development for the C7 bayonet. This is demonstrated by the British Army and their change of standard service rifle and military tactics as well as their designation for the roles of regular infantry combatants, and the cartridge number-to-weight problem on rifle cartridges of 5.56x45mm versus 7.62x51mm was part of the factor as well.

Hence, the change of C1A1 service rifle meant the standard issued C1 bayonet is also in need of change, since the change of C1A1 to C7 rifle would also mean the change of related essential utilities, such as the bayonet.

By 2004, the C7 Bayonet was replaced by CAN Bayonet 2000, ending its service record.

Eina is a former municipality in the old Oppland county, Norway. The  municipality existed from 1908 until its dissolution in 1964. The area is now part of Vestre Toten Municipality in the traditional district of Toten. The administrative centre was the village of Eina.

History
The municipality of Eina was established on 1 January 1908 when the old Vestre Toten Municipality was divided in three. The southwestern part (population: 1,173) became Eina Municipality, the southeastern part (population: 2,412) became Kolbu Municipality, and the northern part (population: 4,027) continued as Vestre Toten Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Eina Municipality (population: 1,591) was merged with Vestre Toten Municipality (population: 9,113) plus the Sørligrenda area of Vardal Municipality (population: 87) and the small area on the south end of the lake Einavatnet (population: 12) from Gran Municipality to form a new, larger Vestre Toten Municipality.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the lake Einavatnet (). The name of the lake is derived from the word  which means "juniper", likely referring to the vegetation around the lake.

Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Eina was made up of 13 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:

Mayors
The mayors of Eina:

1908–1910: Mathias Larsen Blilie (V)

Edmund Lyndeck (October 4, 1925 – December 14, 2015) was an American actor and musical theatre performer. He is best known for originating the roles of Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Cinderella’s Father in Into the Woods. 

His other Broadway credits include 1776, Mrs. Warren's Profession, A Doll's Life, and Merlin, and he also played Sir Danvers Carew in the 1990 world premiere of Jekyll & Hyde.

Stage
Lyndeck, a former college professor, spent over a dozen years in stock and regional theater before making his Broadway debut in the original production of 1776. After originating the role of John Witherspoon, Lyndeck went on to play Stephen Hopkins, Dr. Lyman Hall, and Charles Thomson before ending up on tour as John Dickinson.

His best-known role is the evil Judge Turpin in the original production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, which he also repeated for the first national tour, the 1980 television broadcast, and a 1994 production at the North Shore Music Theatre. He earned a Drama-Logue Award for his performance in the tour's Los Angeles berth. He followed up Sweeney Todd with another Stephen Sondheim musical, Into the Woods, originating the role of Cinderella's Father and later playing the Mysterious Man as well. His other Broadway credits include Mrs. Warren's Profession, A Doll's Life, and Merlin.

Lyndeck worked frequently in Pennsylvania regional theater.  For many years he was a fixture at the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera — most notably as Scrooge in their annual musical version of A Christmas Carol, a role he performed almost every year from 1992 to 2007.

Film and television
Lyndeck appeared occasionally on film and television. He was a contract player on a now-defunct soap opera, The Doctors, and has had guest roles in series like Ed, The Cosby Show, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. His best-known film role is as the marijuana-smoking grandfather in Road Trip; he is also known for his appearance in Adam Sandler's Big Daddy as Mr. Herlihy, You Don't Mess with the Zohan as the Pharmacist, and his most recent appearance in The Notorious Bettie Page. He also did voiceovers for numerous television and film documentaries.
