Caesar von Hofacker (sometimes Cäsar; 2 March 1896 – 20 December 1944) was a German Luftwaffe Lieutenant Colonel and member of the 20 July plot against Adolf Hitler.

Career
Hofacker was born in Ludwigsburg; his father Eberhard von Hofacker was a general in World War I.

Hofacker's main activity in relation to the events culminating in the attempted assassination of Hitler at the Wolf's Lair on 20 July 1944 consisted of acting as a secret liaison between his cousin, Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, and another plotter in occupied Paris, General Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel, France's military governor, to whom he was personal adviser. Hofacker assessed the chances of the coup attempt as "only ten percent". He had a point of introduction to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel as Rommel served under Hofacker's father in World War I; Rommel considered the elder Hofacker something of a hero. Hofacker tried to draw Rommel into the plot to rid Germany of Hitler, but although Rommel gave his backing to the conspiracy Rommel did not agree that Hitler should be killed.

On 26 July 1944, Hofacker was arrested in Paris, taken to Berlin Gestapo headquarters where, according to William Shirer in The Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich, he was horrifically tortured and gave up the name of Erwin Rommel stating that Rommel said to  "Tell the people in Berlin they can count on me". This was support for the conspiracy to overthrow Hitler, not to kill him - but this made no difference to Hitler who ordered the forced suicide of Erwin Rommel and a false hero's funeral. The torture confession was taken down and Hofacker was put on trial before the Volksgerichtshof. He was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. He was hanged at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin.

Hardy Wright (1893–1974) was a Scottish greyhound trainer. He was born in Kirkbean, Kirkcudbrightshire, the youngest child of Jack Wright and Mary Harriet Palin of Mersehead Farm, Kirkbean (now a RSPB nature reserve). Hardy Wright served with the Royal Navy during World War I, meeting his future wife in Portsmouth during this time.

He came to live at Watchhall, near Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, in the early 1920s, where he set up kennels with his father. Eventually he took over the running of the kennels from his father. He later moved to Cummertrees House where he established his well-known kennels.

In 1947 he had the runner-up in the Waterloo Cup hare coursing event, with Mr. Walter Wilson's Western Water, but his greatest successes came in the mid-1950s. In 1954 and 1955 he won the coveted cup with Mr. Tom Noble's Cotton King and Mr Truelove's Full Pete respectively.

The following year he won the Barbican Cup with Mr. Walter Wilson's Well Away - the first time the cup had come to Scotland. He had other successes in the Waterloo Purse and Plate and the Barbican Plate.

He died at his home at Annan, aged 81. His cousin, Harold Wright, trained nine Waterloo Cup winners, an unbeaten performance.

14968 Kubáček, provisional designation , is a stony background asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, approximately 5 kilometers in diameter. The asteroid was discovered on 23 August 1997, by Slovak astronomers Adrián Galád and Alexander Pravda at Modra Observatory, Slovakia. It was named for Slovak astronomer Dalibor Kubáček.

Orbit and classification 

Kubáček orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.3–2.8 AU once every 4 years and 1 month (1,501 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the ecliptic.

Its observation arc begins 10 years prior to its official discovery observation, with its identification as  at the French Caussols Observatory in February 1987.

Physical characteristics

Rotation period 

A rotational lightcurve of Kubáček was obtained from photometric observations made by the discovering astronomer Adrián Galád at Modra Observatory in April 2008. The lightcurve showed a rotation period of  hours with a brightness variation of 0.48 in magnitude ().

Diameter and albedo 

According to the survey carried out by NASA's space-based Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Kubáček measures 4.8 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.21, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 4.7 kilometers.

Naming 

This minor planet was named in honor of astronomer Dalibor Kubáček (born 1957), who explored the coma of comets at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. He readily instructed the peculiar methods of image processing to students and friends, as well as to the discoverers of this minor planet. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 27 April 2002 ().

A broker is a person or firm who arranges transactions between a buyer and a seller. This may be done for a commission when the deal is executed. A broker who also acts as a seller or as a buyer becomes a principal party to the deal. Neither role should be confused with that of an agent—one who acts on behalf of a principal party in a deal.

Definition
A broker is an independent party whose services are used extensively in some industries. A broker's prime responsibility is to bring sellers and buyers together and thus a broker is the third-person facilitator between a buyer and a seller. An example would be a real estate or stock broker who facilitates the sale of a property.

Brokers can furnish market research and market data. Brokers may represent either the seller or the buyer but generally not both at the same time. Brokers are expected to have the tools and resources to reach the largest possible base of buyers and sellers. They then screen these potential buyers or sellers for the perfect match. An individual producer, on the other hand, especially one new in the market, probably will not have the same access to customers as a broker. Another benefit of using a broker is cost—they might be cheaper in smaller markets, with smaller accounts, or with a limited line of products.<ref name=Spiro>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kamlQgAACAAJ | last1=Spiro | first1=Rosann L. | first2=William J. | last2=Stanton | first3=Gregory A. | last3=Rich | title=Management of a Sales Force. 12th ed. | publisher=McGraw-Hill/Irwin | year=2003| isbn=9780256020465 }}</ref>

Some brokers, known as discount brokers, charge smaller commission, sometimes in exchange for offering less advice or services than full service brokerage firms.

A broker-dealer is a broker that transacts for its own account, in addition to facilitating transactions for clients.

Brokerage firms are generally subject to regulations based on the type of brokerage and jurisdictions in which they operate. Examples of brokerage firm regulatory agencies include the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which regulate stockbrokers in the United States.

Etymology
The word "broker" derives from Old French broceur "small trader", of uncertain origin, but possibly from Old French brocheor meaning "wine retailer", which comes from the verb brochier, or  "to broach (a keg)".

A regional council () is a self-governing local authority. There are 21 regional councils (one of which is a municipality having the same responsibilities as a county council), each corresponding to a county. Regional councils are governed by a regional assembly (regionfullmäktige) that is elected by the regional electorate every four years in conjunction with the general elections. The most important responsibilities of regional councils are the public health care system and public transportation. It is one of the  principal administrative subdivisions of Sweden. 

Within the same geographical borders as the regional councils, there are county administrative boards, an administrative entity appointed by the government.  As of 2010, the different regional council assemblies had a combined total of 1,696 seats.

Constitutionally, the regional councils exercise a degree of municipal self-government provided by the Basic Laws of Sweden. This does not constitute any degree of federalism, which is consistent with Sweden's status as a unitary state.

Within the geographic boundaries of the county there are also several smaller municipalities and administrations that exercise local self-government independent of the regional councils. These can also be referred to as "primary municipalities" or primärkommuner, while the larger regional councils are sekundärkommuner, "secondary municipalities". The Municipality of Gotland is an exception, due to its geographical boundaries, as Gotland Municipality also has the responsibilities of a regional council.

Historically, Stockholm was separate from counties and was not under the jurisdiction of the Stockholm County Council until 1967, and some other large cities were in counties but outside regional councils. The cities handled the responsibilities. The two last such cities were Malmö and Göteborg until 1998.

In January 2020, the county councils (landsting) of Sweden were officially reclassified as Regions (regioner). De facto, the regional councils had already adopted the 'Region' title well before the new law was adopted.

The Wyoming Board of Charities and Reform (BCR) was a state agency of Wyoming that operated the state's charitable and penal institutions.

History
Article 7, Section 18. Chapter 37, Session Laws of Wyoming, 1890-1891 of the Wyoming Constitution established the BCR on July 10, 1890. In November 1990, Wyoming voters approved a constitutional amendment that abolished the board. The institutions of the former state agency were divided and given to other agencies.

The Wyoming Department of Corrections, created in 1991, took control of the Wyoming State Penitentiary, the Wyoming Women’s Center, the Wyoming Honor Conservation Camp, and the Wyoming Honor Farm. The Wyoming Department of Family Services took the Wyoming Boys' School, the Wyoming Girls' School, and the Youth Treatment Center. The Wyoming Department of Health took the Veterans' Home of Wyoming, the Wyoming Pioneer Home, the Wyoming Retirement Center, the Wyoming State Hospital, and the Wyoming Training School.

Electrorana is an extinct genus of frog that lived in what is now Myanmar during the mid-Cretaceous, around 99 million years ago. The type and only species is E. limoae.

Description

Electrorana was described on the basis of four different specimens found in Burmese amber, which show varying states of completeness. These specimens have a body length of  though it has been suggested that they are likely to have been juveniles.

Taxonomy 
Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Electrorana is a relatively basal frog that lies outside of Neobatrachia, with unclear relationships to living basal frog clades. A close relationship with the extinct frog Aerugoamnis from the Eocene of North America has been found in some phylogenies.

Ecology 
Electrorana is thought to have lived in a tropical rainforest, making it one of the oldest known frogs to have inhabited such an environment.

St. Mary's Halt was a small railway station halt on the Dean Forest Railway. It served the local park and lake, both near the station, and was the original southern terminus of the DFR from 1991 to 1995.

History

The halt was not an original station of the Severn and Wye Railway and was opened by the Dean Forest Railway on 8 September 1991. It was originally named Lydney Lakeside, taking its name from the lake behind the platform. From 1991 to 1995 it was the original southern terminus of the Dean Forest Railway prior to the reopening of Lydney Junction in 1995. It was later renamed St Mary's Halt in 1995 - which takes its name from St. Mary's Church, located opposite the platform. The halt was closed to passengers after the 2013 season, but was still used for the operation of the Bypass crossing until January 2016, when the crossing was automated. It will be removed within the foreseeable future for re-use elsewhere on the line.

The Lakeside Extension, which involved the opening of Lydney Lakeside (now St Mary's Halt) was the first major extension that was undertaken by the Dean Forest Railway. The railway had been previously constrained to the Norchard site. To mark this event City of Truro visited the line, only one of two occasions that this has occurred at the DFR (the other in 2010 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Severn and Wye Railway).

This section of the railway still retains some original features; mainly the cast iron lattice bridge, opened on 26 September 1892.

Operation

Services would always call when travelling to Lydney Junction (a necessity to operate the Bypass Level Crossing). After 2009 however services only called only on request heading towards Norchard, Lydney Town, Whitecroft, and Parkend until closure.

In 1993, five services would operate each running day between April and October (a later service would run on Sundays, Bank Holidays, and other selected days). The first train would depart at 11:00 from the then new Norchard Low Level platform, with a journey time of 10 minutes to the Lakeside. A complete roundtrip would take 35 minutes.

Special services would also run to the halt to provide access to Carol services at St Mary's Church opposite the halt. The train would wait in the platform to take the passengers back from the services, which always proved popular for the Dean Forest Railway.
