Horkelia hendersonii is a rare species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common name Henderson's horkelia. It is known from four populations in southern Oregon, including Mount Ashland, and one population south of the border in Siskiyou County, California. It is a resident of dry forest habitat in the granite soils of the Klamath Mountains. This is a perennial herb producing a low mat of hairy, glandular gray-green foliage about a woody base. The leaves are cylindrical and sometimes tapering to a point, growing erect in a patch around the caudex. Each leaf is 3 to 8 centimeters long and is made up of densely spaced pairs of minutely toothed leaflets. The leaflets are coated in silky hairs. The inflorescence is a dense array flowers atop an erect stalk, each flower made up of five hairy, pointed sepals and five smaller, more delicate white petals.

Although few populations of the plant are known to exist, they are not in imminent danger of destruction and a federal listing as an endangered or threatened species was declined in 2003. The Mount Ashland populations of this plant are sometimes threatened by recreational activities at that site, including skiing and maintenance of ski facilities, and off-road vehicle use.

The Baytown Sun, is a newspaper published in Baytown, Texas, United States. It was first published 1919 as the Goose Creek Gasser.  The paper is owned by Southern Newspapers Inc., a news-media company based in Houston, Texas.

History
The Baytown Sun was founded in Goose Creek, Texas, as the weekly publication, Goose Creek Gasser, in 1919. By 1928, the paper was operating under the name Daily Tribune. Due to the economic pressures caused by the Great Depression, in 1931 the Daily Tribune merged with newspapers in the nearby communities of Pelly and Baytown. The new newspaper was named the Daily Sun and was published in the Daily Tribune's hometown of Goose Creek. During the mid-1940s the towns of Baytown, Goose Creek and Pelly voted to incorporate into one city, with Baytown being the surviving name.  Therefore, in 1949 to better identify with the new community it served, the paper was given its current name, Baytown Sun.

Halloween killer
In December 1985, the Baytown Police Department received five letters from someone identifying themselves as "Madman" and claiming to have been the killer in the Halloween murder of a local 11-year-old girl. Each letter contained a riddle which when answered, the author stated, would eventually reveal the killer's name.  However, if the police answered incorrectly, another child would be killed on Christmas.  In an unusual request, the letters also demanded the answers to the riddles be printed on front page of the Baytown Sun.  When the Baytown police approached then Sun publisher Leon Brown with the request to publish the answers on the front page, he agreed, stating: "Police Chief Wayne Henscey said their publication could very well save a life. I was convinced, as were my editors, that the Sun's cooperation was a life or death situation..."

Brandval is a former municipality in the old Hedmark county, Norway. The  municipality existed from 1867 until its dissolution in 1964 when it became part of Kongsvinger Municipality. It was located in the southern part of the traditional district of Solør. The administrative centre of the old municipality was the village of Brandval where Brandval Church is located. The municipality included the populated Glomma river valley in the west and the more sparsely populated Finnskogen forest area in the east.

History
Historically, Brandval was part of the large parish of Grue. On 1 January 1838, when municipalities were established in Norway, Brandval was part of Grue Municipality, making up the southern part of the municipality. On 1 January 1867, the Brandval area (population: 3,946) was separated from Grue to become the new Brandval municipality. This left Grue with 6,464 residents. In 1941 a small part of Grue municipality (population: 68) was transferred to Brandval municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Brandval (population: 4,384) was merged with the town of Kongsvinger (population: 2,349) and the municipality of Vinger (population: 6,257) to form the new Kongsvinger Municipality which had a total population of 12,990 residents.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Brandval farm () since the first Brandval Church was built there. The first element is  which means "fire" or "burning". The last element is  which means "land that is cleared by burning". Thus the name likely refers to a forested area that was cleared by burning.

Government
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 Brandval was made up of 21 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:

1868-1870: Lars Bredesen Breen

The Overseas Service Chevron was created by the British Army on 20 December 1917 and was awarded for each year of overseas service. It was retroactive to December 31, 1914, and was eligible for award until May 1, 1920.

Overseas service was calculated from the day the soldier disembarked from the United Kingdom. A blue chevron was awarded for each 12 months of overseas service after December 31, 1914, with a maximum of 4 blue chevrons (or 5 if the soldier served in Russia after the war). A single red chevron could be awarded for at least a year or more of overseas service before December 31, 1914, and was worn under the blue chevron(s). The Overseas Chevrons were worn on the lower right sleeve of the uniform jacket. Official wear was discontinued in 1922.

Canada

World War I (1914-1919)
The Canadian Armed Forces used the same Overseas Service Chevrons in World War One as the British. Its wear was discontinued in 1941 except for the Veteran's Guard of Canada.

World War II (1939-1945)
During World War Two the Canadian Armed Forces adopted a new set of Overseas Chevrons to be worn on the lower left sleeve. It was created in 1942 and was retroactive to September 10, 1939. Recipients had to have been servicemen in the Canadian Active Service Force or have joined the CASF on or after September 10, 1940, to qualify. Each 12 months of war service overseas was represented by a black chevron on green (later changed to a red chevron). A year or more of pre-war service on or before September 10, 1939, was designated by a white chevron (which took the place of the World War I Overseas Chevrons). It was moved to the lower right sleeve in 1944.

Units in Canada were allowed to wear them, but British rules forbade their wear in the United Kingdom or a European war zone until 1944. Perhaps this was due to potential confusion with the Free French Army's rank insignia for Corporal, Sergeant and Corporal Chef - which was a series of red or red-over-silver chevrons. Or perhaps they could be confused with the British Army's rifle-green Good Conduct stripes worn by the Rifles regiments or the red Good Conduct stripes worn by the Military Police.
