Wat Pa Sak (, "Temple of the Teak Forest") is a wat (Buddhist temple-monastery) in Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Located just outside the city's old walls, the temple derives its name from the 300 teaks planted on the site around the time of its foundation. Wat Pa Sak's origins date back to the 13th or 14th centuries.

History
The exact date of Wat Pa Sak's founding is unclear. Possible dates range from 1295 to the 1340s.

The establishment of the temple coincided with the development of Chiang Saen as a main centre of the mueang of Lan Na by King Saen Phu, who ruled from 1325 to 1334. Chiang Saen was named after Saen Phu.

The temple has undergone numerous restorations over the centuries, including significant enhancements by later Lan Na rulers in the 15th century. These restorations have made pinpointing an original founding date more difficult.

Architecture
Wat Sa Pak is a prime example of the Early Classic Lan Na style but also incorporates a number of other styles including Sukhothai, Hariphunchai and Bagan.

The best preserved part of the temple complex is its elaborate stupa  tall and featuring many ornamental stucco motifs.

Particularly significant are the stucco images of Gautama Buddha, which are among the few remaining in situ examples from the Early Classic period. These images also have aureole and halo features, often found in this and earlier periods, but absent after the 14th century. Some of the images are "walking Buddha" or "standing Buddha" images, indicative of Sukhothai influence.

Also featured at Wat Pa Sak are numerous mythical creature stucco images. Dwarf creatures are featured on temple tiers serving as guardian figures. Examples of makara and singh (mythical lion) figures are also found here. Garuda figures associated with Hinduism and the Sukhothai Kingdom also adorn Wat Pa Sak's walls.

Mythology 
Like most stupas, the Wat Pa Sak stupa symbolizes the mythic Mount Meru of Buddhist and Hindu cosmology. The Himavat Forest on the lower slopes of Meru is the domain of many mythical creatures, some of whom were chosen to guard sacred structures.

The Coming of Conan is a collection of eight fantasy short stories  by American writer Robert E. Howard, featuring his  sword and sorcery heroes Kull and Conan the Barbarian, together with the first part of his pseudo-history of the "Hyborian Age" in which the Conan tales were set. It was first published in hardcover in the United States by Gnome Press in 1953 and by Boardman Books in the United Kingdom in 1954. The stories originally appeared in the 1930s in the fantasy magazine Weird Tales. The collection never saw publication in paperback; instead, its component stories were split and distributed among other "Kull" and "Conan" collections.

Contents
"Introduction" (L. Sprague de Camp)
March 10, 1933 letter from Robert E. Howard to P. Schuyler Miller
Undated letter from H. P. Lovecraft to Donald A. Wollheim on "The Hyborian Age"
"The Hyborian Age, Part 1"
"The Shadow Kingdom" (Kull)
"The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune" (Kull)
"The King and the Oak" (Kull)
"The Tower of the Elephant"
"The God in the Bowl"
"Rogues in the House"
"The Frost-Giant's Daughter"
"Queen of the Black Coast"

Chronologically, the short stories collected as The Coming of Conan are the earliest in Gnome's Conan series; the stories collected as Conan the Barbarian follow.

Reception
New York Times reviewer Villiers Gerson praised the stories as "unusual adult fairy tale[s] [with] a verve and dash seldom found in such thud-and-blunder stories." P. Schuyler Miller praised the volume as "some of the best of the fantastic, bloody exploits of Conan the Cimmerian in a world that never was."

Salicornia utahensis, synonym Sarcocornia utahensis, is a species of flowering plant in the amaranth family known by the common name Utah swampfire. It is native to the southwestern United States, where it can be found in desert habitat, generally in areas with alkaline or saline soils, such as playas. This halophytic perennial herb or subshrub grows in low matted clumps of woody stem bases anchored to the substrate by rhizome systems. The stem grows erect into fleshy green branches. The inflorescences are within the distal parts of the branches, which are ringed with tiny flat flowers.

La Reine Pédauque is a former freight-carrying barge of Freycinet type, converted into a hotel barge and operating on the Canal de Bourgogne in central France. She is one of around 60 barges offering cruises on the smaller waterways of Europe, mainly France.

History 
La Reine Pédauque is one of relatively few barges of Freycinet dimensions built in Germany, at the Dortmund yard of Geeste Munde. Built in 1922, she operated throughout the French canal system carrying various dry cargoes such as grain and aggregates. She was converted into a hotel barge and renamed in 1984. She was acquired and refitted by the current owners in 2016, and operates on the Canal de Bourgogne in the Ouche valley, between Dijon and Vandenesse.

The Cummins L-series engine is a straight-six diesel engine designed and produced by Cummins. It displaces , and began production in 1982 as the L10 at the Jamestown Engine Plant in Jamestown, New York. After lengthening its stroke from 136 to 147mm, its displacement was enlarged to 10.8 litres and the engine renamed ISM 11, later M11.

The ISL 9 and current L9 engines are not related to the L10 engine, but instead based on the smaller C-series platform with the 135mm stroke of the C8.3 enlarged to 144.5mm, together with 4 valves per cylinder, giving it 8.9 litres displacement.

 The L10 displaced , and was available in either a vertical form, for upright use in trucks and buses, or horizontal form, for underfloor use in buses and trains. The L10 was Cummins's first competitive offering in the British bus market, as their earlier production had been too large and heavy. However, it had a troublesome introduction to the British market, with high oil consumption and sealing problems.

By 1994, it had been developed into the M11, and in 1998, Cummins ceased production of the old L-series engine. After the original L10 evolved into the M11 engine, the new ISL9 engine was introduced to operate in this market segment, yet with a better power-to-weight ratio, by enlarging the piston stroke of the older C8.3 engine. The Cummins L10 also has a sister engine which runs on compressed natural gas (CNG). The engine was introduced in 1992 as the L10G before being replaced by the L Gas Plus in 2001 until it became the ISL G in collaboration with Westport Innovations in 2008, now based on the C-series engine architecture. The ISL engines were manufactured at plants in Rocky Mount, North Carolina and Darlington, England.

In 2016 onwards, the ISL9 was simplified to L9, though physically it shares no resemblance to the old L10 engine: The current L9 engine is a stroked version of the C8.3 engine platform, while the current M11 engine is a stroked version of the original L10 engine platform.

In February 2023, Cummins announced that the L9, alongside the X12, would be replaced by the X10 engine, which is slated for introduction in 2026 for the North American market.

The Slades were a vocal group out of Austin, Texas.

All the members attended local McCallum High School. Personnel included John Goeke, Don Burch, Tommy Kaspar, Bobby Doyle, and Jimmy Davis. The first four were on their initial recording with Davis joining on the second disc.

"Baby", backed with "You Mean Everything To Me", was their first record on the new Domino label from Austin. Soon after the initial pressing on Domino as the Spades, their name was changed to the Slades and the record was released on the Liberty label with national distribution.

Their second recording for Domino records was their biggest. "You Cheated" peaked at #42 in 1958 on the Billboard charts. However, when Domino passed on a national distribution deal with Dot Records, the song was soon covered by the Los Angeles-based Shields who had the bigger hit. The Slades record was still popular enough to earn them a spot on American Bandstand. Many follow up recordings and back up credits for other Domino label artists followed, but none sold as well as "You Cheated".  As a small label, Domino didn't have the distribution of a larger label which contributed to the group's eventual demise.

In 1998, Ace Records released The Domino Records Story containing all of the group's output for the label, plus five previously unreleased tracks. One of the unreleased tracks, "In The Still of the Night", was included by Greil Marcus in The History of Rock 'n' Roll in Ten Songs where he describes Don Burch's lead vocal as "a once-in-a-lifetime performance".

Don Burch (born on December 23, 1938, in Georgetown, Texas) died on March 27, 2020, in Round Rock, Texas, at age 81.
