The Palestine Broadcasting Service (PBS) was the state-owned radio broadcasting station that operated from Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine (now Israel and Palestinian territories) with the main transmitter in Ramallah. It operated from March 1936 until the end of the British Mandate of Palestine in 1948. It broadcast programs in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, with broadcasting time allotted in that order. 

Its Hebrew service, Kol Yerushalayim, which was inaugurated on March 30, 1936, played an important role in the development of Hebrew as a national language for the founders of Israel. While news broadcasts and political commentary was heavily censored, the PBS' cultural programs - including its live music broadcasts - played an important role in the development of interwar Palestinian and Zionist (later Israeli) national identities.

The Little Greenbrier School is a former schoolhouse and church in the ghost town of Little Greenbrier in Sevier County, Tennessee, United States.  Located near Gatlinburg in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it was built in 1882, and was used as a school and church almost continuously until 1936.  When the residents of Little Greenbrier asked Sevier County to provide it with a teacher, the county replied that if the community would build a proper schoolhouse, the county would pay the teacher's salary.  The land on which the school was built was donated by Gilbert Abbott, and the logs were provided by Ephraim Ogle and hauled to the site by oxen teams.  Dozens of Little Greenbrier residents, among them John Walker, father of the Walker Sisters, gathered on an agreed-upon day in January 1882 and raised the schoolhouse.

Classes were first held at the Little Greenbrier School in Fall 1882.  Richard Perryman was the first of 39 teachers who would teach at the school until its closure in 1936.  Students throughout the Little River Valley attended the school, some making a  daily journey from the Meigs Mountain community.  The school was also used for church services by a local Primitive Baptist congregation, which established the cemetery on the other side of the road.

The schoolhouse, located near what was once the center of the Little Greenbrier community, is one story with an attic, and measures approximately  by .  The walls are built of hewn yellow poplar logs resting on a stone foundation.  The interior consists of a sawn oak board floor and a sawn chestnut ceiling, and was accessed by a white pine door on iron hinges.  The school's gabled roof is covered with rived oak shingles.  The chimney, located in the center of the building, was built of bricks, and fitted with an iron pipe and cook stove.

Deadman Canyon is a glacier-carved canyon in Kings Canyon National Park. Its namesake is an Iberian sheep-herder who died and is buried there.

Geography 

Deadman Canyon is located almost directly north of Elizabeth Pass, between Ranger Meadow and Scaffold Meadows, in the south-central area of the park. The canyon is surrounded by steep granite walls, and is traversed by a stream.

Flora 

Plant life in the canyon include aspens and pines, along with buckwheat, sagebrush, Indian paintbrush, mariposa lily, columbine, delphinium, daisy, Mexican hat, penstemon, pennyroyal, and shooting star.

The Grave 

Near the trail that crosses the canyon is the grave for which the canyon is named. The rustic plot is surrounded with a timber fence, and features a marker that reads, “HERE REPOSES ALFRED MONIERE, SHEEPHERDER, MOUNTAIN MAN, 18—TO 1887.”  Two common versions of this man's story exist. In one, he is murdered, and in the other, he became ill and died while his partner went to Fresno for help.

Despite the date on the marker, the February 14, 1894 issue of National Geographic states that Moniere died in 1875.

Abortion in Austria has been fully legalized since 1 January 1975. Elective abortions can be performed in hospitals for women during the first three months from the beginning of the pregnancy. Abortions can be performed later if there is a physical or mental health threat to the pregnant woman, if there is an incurable problem with the development of the fetus, or if the patient is under the age of 14.

There is no punishment for doctors who choose not to perform abortions based on personal or religious convictions, except if the life of the woman is at stake and a lack of abortion causes the woman's death. The 1975 law protects doctors who choose not to perform abortions. There are very few abortion clinics or hospitals with abortion capability outside major cities, making it next to impossible to have an abortion in rural areas. Abortions are not paid for by the government health system.

In 2000, the abortion rate was 1.4 abortions per 1000 women aged 15-44 years.

Abortion in Liechtenstein, which borders Austria, remains illegal. Some women who choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy cross the border into Austria to undergo the procedure.

History 
For more than a century, the Austrian abortion policy was largely governed by the 1852 legislation that criminalized abortion. Both the woman willingly attempting to end her pregnancy and the individual conducting the abortion faced up to five years in jail. However, there were a few legal exceptions. If the pregnant woman's life were in urgent danger or her bodily and mental health would be significantly harmed by prolonging the pregnancy, there was no penalty if the pregnancy was the result of rape and use of force. Only the medical practitioner was permitted to conduct the abortion in these rare situations. 

The Austrian Social Democratic Party, a party with a long history of women's movement activity, led the charge to relax nineteenth-century abortion laws. Female social democratic MPs proposed legalizing abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy in 1920. Party officials brought forth a fresh proposal in 1924 to allow abortion for medical, social, or eugenic grounds and recommendations for more excellent sex education and the construction of information centers. The abortion issue received a whole paragraph in the 1926 party platform.

Ratu Josateki Tuivanuavou Nacagilevu Nawalowalo (1950 – 27 August 2010), commonly known as Ratu Jo Nawalowalo, was a Fijian chief, businessman, and the chairman of the Kadavu Provincial Council.  He also chaired the Fiji Kava Council, which promotes the sale of yaqona locally and internationally.

As chairman of the Provincial Council, Nawalowalo promoted aggressive infrastructural development programs.  He also strongly supported the central government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, and refused to let Military teams tour Kadavu to campaign against the government's controversial Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill, which Nawalowalo strongly supported.

On 29 March 2006, Nawalowalo expressed interest in contesting the Kadavu Fijian Communal Constituency for the ruling Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua Party (SDL), but ended up withdrawing in favour of the incumbent, Konisi Yabaki.

In the aftermath of the military takeover of 5 December 2006, Nawalowalo changed his views, and threw his support behind the new regime.  This provoked an angry reaction from some of his fellow chiefs, who were reported by Fiji Television on 9 December as instructing him to refrain from making any further public statements without their approval. In May 2008, he was not returned as chairman of the Kadavu Provincial Council.

Nawalowalo co-chaired the task force focusing on economic growth within the National Council for Building a Better Fiji.

Nawalowalo died 27 August 2010, aged 60.
