The Cimarron class was a class of five replenishment oilers which served in the United States Navy between 1981 and 1999. These ships were sized to provide two complete refuelings of a fossil-fueled aircraft carrier and six to eight accompanying destroyers. All five of the class were jumboized in 1990-92 by being cut in two and a 108-foot (35.7 m) section inserted, increasing their capacities from 120,000 bbls to 180,000 bbls, adding capacity for 300 tons of munitions and improving underway replenishment capabilities. The class was retired in 1998-99 after less than 20 years of service as a result of post-Cold War force reductions, and the advent of the more economical diesel-powered s.

Gartheiniog quarry was a slate quarry served by the Hendre Ddu Tramway. It is located about a mile west of Aberangell in Merioneth (now Gwynedd), North Wales near the confluence of the Nant Maesygamfa and the Afon Angell. It worked the Narrow Vein, the highest-quality slate vein in the Abercorris Group.

History

Early exploration 
In 1873, a "take note" (permission to explore for minerals) was granted by Sir Edmund Buckley to search for slate near Gartheiniog Farm. In 1880 that John Jenkins and James Williams, of Aberystwyth took a lease on the land between the Afon Angell and Nant Maesygamfa. They started quarrying there, where the Narrow Vein surfaced.

Owen and Mallory 
In 1881 the Gartheiniog Slate Company Limited was formed to work the quarry commercially. By 1884, the company was owned by Henry Owen of nearby Gartheiniog Farm and Henry Mallory who had recently moved to Aberystwyth from England. In 1886 an adit was completed that allowed underground mining and in 1887 the quarry was connected to the Hendre Ddu Tramway which ran just to the south of the quarry mill.

Henry Owen died in 1896, and Mallory took over the quarry. The quarry struggled financially around the turn of the century. Between 1909 and 1914, it supplied slabs to the Inigo Jones enamelling works at Groeslon. Mallory died in 1915 and his wife took over as owner of the quarry company.

Standard Housing Company 
The Housing, Town Planning, &c. Act 1919 set off a post-War boom in housing construction in Britain. In 1920, the Standard Housing Company was formed to mass-produce houses built of slate and timber. It purchased the slate quarries at Llangynog and Gartheiniog. It also purchased timber plantations at Gartheiniog and near Aberystwyth. The quarries and plantations were purchased from William Clayton Russon and Roland Morgan, both of whom were undischarged bankrupts, both of them became directors of the company. Morgan would later be convicted of running multiple stock scams, including the Standard Housing Company.

Gertrude Russon 
The Standard Housing Company failed within 18 months and the quarry was sold to Gertrude Russon, William Clayton's wife. She ran the quarry though it struggled financially. It closed down in 1927, was re-opened briefly, then failed again in 1931.

Later operations 
In 1932, George Hadrill took a lease of Gartheiniog and operated it until 1933. Hadrill had been a fighter pilot in the war. He added an enamelling works at the quarry to create a new line of products. Despite this he failed in 1934.

In 1935, the quarry was purchased by Bowley’s Quarries Ltd, a subsidiary of S. Bowley & Sons, a London producer of oil-based products. Bowley's operated Gartheiniog until 1937 when the quarry closed for good.

Stimela is a 1994 compilation album by South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela. The album was compiled and produced by Masekela's long-time colleague Stewart Levine.

Reception
John Storm Roberts of Allmusic noted: "These recordings are largely in Afro-funk style, though with heavy township infusions in places, from the 1960s and 1970s, including his massive hit, 'Grazin' in the Grass.' As a jazz rather than a roots mbaqanga player, Masekela was a natural for this stuff, and (some studio trickery aside) it still stands tall and powerful."

Heriot, from Old English heregeat ("war-gear"), was originally a death-duty in late Anglo-Saxon England, which required that at death, a nobleman provided to his king a given set of military equipment, often including horses, swords, shields, spears and helmets. It later developed into a kind of tenurial feudal relief due from villeins. The equivalent term in French was droit du meilleur catel.

Etymology
The word derives from Old English here-geatwa, meaning the arms and equipment (geatwa) of a soldier or army (here).

History
Heriot was the right of a lord in feudal Europe to seize a serf's best horse, clothing, or both, upon his death. It arose from the tradition of the lord lending a serf a horse or armour or weapons to fight so that when the serf died the lord would rightfully reclaim his property. Payments of heriot are sometimes mentioned in the wills of West-Saxon nobles from the mid-tenth century onward (a case in question is that of Æthelmær). The regulation of levels of heriot is the subject of a clause in Cnut's secular law-code (II Cnut § 71), drawn up between 1020 and 1023. The form of this duty depended on the rank of the nobleman (earl, king's thegn, median thegn) and on his region (Danelaw, Wessex). 

When knights as a class emerged and were later able to acquire their own fighting instruments, the lord continued to claim rights to property upon death, extending sometimes to everyone not just the fighting knights. Serfs could make provisions for heriot in their wills, but death in battle often meant no heriot was required, because the winner of a fight would often take horse and armour anyway as was often the custom. By the 13th century the payment was made either in money or in kind by handing over the best beast or chattel of the tenant. The enlightened cleric Jacques de Vitry called lords who imposed heriots "vultures that prey upon death... worms feeding upon the corpse." 

Heriot came in many varieties. G. G. Coulton reports a curious case of heriot in modern times: 

Heriot is one of the many curious laws from feudal times that started because of a logical need between two parties, and persisted because a lord's customary rights tended to continue on even when their original reason no longer existed. This law and many others, such as the noble right not to pay taxes, have a long and contentious history in Europe. It was legally abolished in Britain in 1922.

After Dark is a 1994 studio album by the American jazz tenor saxophonist Don Braden. Released on the Criss Cross Jazz label, the album presents a recording taken in New York City on January 5, 1993. Critically well received, After Dark is listed as one of the "Core Collection" albums in The Penguin Guide to Jazz.

Theme
Recorded in New York City on January 5, 1993, the album is centered on the theme of night time, with a mix of original compositions and jazz standards as well as one pop song by Stevie Wonder. The music critic Howard Reich suggested that Braden's goal was not to set out specific vignettes, but to "evoke different states of mind that the night inspires."

Critical reception

The album has been critically well received. The Penguin Guide to Jazz numbers it among the "core collection" which jazz fans should possess. AllMusic describes it as one of the best releases of the year and adds that the album is "a positive step in Braden's rapid development." In its review of the album, JazzTimes wrote that Braden was a "magnetic player" and a "convincing composer", describing the album overall as "a very satisfying follow-up to Braden's previous Criss Cross dates". Reich, in the Chicago Tribune, wrote that the album was "a strong performance from an up-and-coming talent", "a musically appealing and intellectually intriguing recording."

Peter Bohlender (born February 1, 1838) immigrated to Dayton, Ohio, from the Kingdom of Bavaria, with his family, at the age of 6. Having no opportunity to attend school, he worked in a tobacco stripping house at a very young age. Before reaching his teens, he worked for a local nursery, where he received training in the gardening industry. In 1849, he started his own small nursery in North Dayton, Ohio, called Bohlender’s Nursery.

In 1889, Bohlender moved his nursery to Tipp City, Ohio. Around the time of World War I, Bohlender renamed the nursery “Spring Hill Nurseries.” He derived the name “Spring Hill” from a small hill located near the current location of the nursery’s primary growing area.

Spring Hill Nurseries was initially a wholesale garden store, providing plants and services to locals. The rise in popularity of catalog mail-order prompted Bohlender to begin moving Spring Hill out of the wholesale gardening business and into mail-order. In 1930, Spring Hill became primarily a mail-order gardening company. The garden center retained a smaller retail store, which is still functioning today.

The White Obelisk is a large stone monolith found at the ancient Assyrian settlement of Nineveh, northern Iraq. Excavated by the British archaeologist Hormuzd Rassam in 1853, it is one of only two intact obelisks to survive from the Assyrian empire, the other being the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III. Both are now preserved in the British Museum. The White Obelisk dates to the beginning of the Neo-Assyrian Empire and has been variously ascribed to the reigns of Ashurnasirpal I (c. 1040 BC), Tiglath-Pileser II (c. 950 BC) or Ashurnasirpal II (c. 870 BC).

Discovery
The obelisk was discovered at Nineveh by the Iraqi archaeologist Hormuzd Rassam in July 1853. According to the excavator's report, it was found about 60 metres to the northeast of Sennacherib's palace at a depth of about 5 metres below the surface of the mound. It was then shipped to London via Bombay on HMS Akbar in March 1854, arriving in the British capital in February 1855, where it was immediately deposited in the national collection.

Description
The White Obelisk is a very large four-sided pillar made from white limestone with engraved decoration in relief on all sides of the obelisk, with an inscription at the top. The carvings show campaigns and recreational activities (including a hunt) of an Assyrian king that has been identified as either Ashurnasirpal I, Tiglath-Pileser II or Ashurnasirpal II. According to Julian Reade, the style of dress suggests that this impressive stela was set up under the reign of Ashurnasirpal I, since many courtiers wear a Fez-like hat, which is only known from sculptural work made in the thirteenth century BC. If this is the case, the White Obelisk is one of the earliest representations of Assyrian art in existence.

Inscription and reliefs

The preserved part of the inscription at the top of the obelisk describes the Assyrian king as a great conqueror, taking booty, prisoners and herds of animals to the city of Assur. On each of the four sides of the obelisk are eight rows of panels with relief representations. Engraved on them are various scenes including military expeditions of the king, the monarch receiving tribute, great banquets of courtiers and the hunting of wild animals. One set of religious scenes is accompanied by an inscription, which explains that the scene depicts the king pouring a libation in front of the goddess Ishtar, who was the principal deity of Nineveh.

The PB (, English: Silent Pistol; GRAU index 6P9) is a Soviet integrally suppressed semi-automatic pistol developed and manufactured by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, based on the Makarov pistol; since the merger of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant and the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant to form the Kalashnikov Concern in 2013, the Kalashnikov Concern has continued to manufacture the PB. The weapon entered service in 1967.

Design and features
The PB uses an integral suppressor, which, unlike most similar systems, consists of two parts. This allows the pistol to be carried and kept concealed without the front section of the suppressor attached, and for the suppressor to be quickly deployed prior to use. The pistol may also be fired safely without the front section attached, which may be important in critical situations. When fired like this, the PB sounds similar to a regular Makarov pistol. The detached suppressor is carried in a special compartment of the holster, which was designed especially for the PB.

The PB's firing mechanism and design is based on that of the Makarov pistol. Because the front part of the barrel is covered by the suppressor, the slide is very short, such that it does not allow placing a return spring into it. For that reason, the spring is in the grip, and acts on the slide by means of a long lever.

The iron sights are fixed. It uses standard 8-round magazines from the Makarov pistol.

Users
  − Used for executions
  − Used by Spetsnaz, FSB Alpha Group, and reportedly FSB Vympel Group during counter-terrorism missions.

Former users
  − Used by the KGB, Ministry of Internal Affairs special units (OMON) and Soviet Army reconnaissance groups

Harper (sometimes referred to collectively as Harper Road) is a Canadian rural community located in western Prince County, Prince Edward Island.

Among other roads, Harper is located on Route 158, which runs from Route 2 (Tignish) to Route 156 (Palmer Road).

The second community on Route 158 is Leoville, which continues to officially exist, although a 1998 civic address reform in Prince Edward Island saw all Leoville addresses consolidated under Harper. Many locals refer to Harper and Leoville as "Harper Road" collectively.

Harper is home to Harper's Brook, a tributary to the Tignish River, which runs from Tignish to DeBlois. Harper has a population of approximately 200 residents and traces its name to the explorer William Harper, who inhabited the area during the 19th century.  Harper (Settlement) was adopted in the Place Names of Prince Edward Island in 1925 and was changed to Harpers (Settlement) on December 3, 1946, then to Harper (Station) on May 5, 1960. It was changed to its present status as Harper (Locality) on October 23, 1989.
