Bobby Ayala

Robert Joseph Ayala (born July 8, 1969) is an American former professional baseball pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs and Montreal Expos.

Career
Ayala went to high school at Rio Mesa in Oxnard, California. He was brought up with the Reds as a starter before moving to the bullpen in his second season. The Reds traded Ayala with catcher Dan Wilson to the Mariners for Bret Boone and Erik Hanson in November .

Ayala finished the strike-shortened  season with a 2.86 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 57 innings while saving 18 games. He earned a career-high 19 saves during the Mariners' "Refuse to Lose" 1995 season.

On April 24, 1996, Ayala suffered a severe hand laceration trying to open a Chicago hotel window.

The Mariners traded Ayala to the Montreal Expos for minor leaguer Jimmy Turman on April 3, 1999, with Seattle paying all of Ayala's $1.8 million salary that year. Montreal released him a few months later and he finished the season pitching for the Chicago Cubs.

The Minnesota Twins signed Ayala as a free agent, making him a non-roster invitee for the  season. They released him before the start of the regular season.

He started the regular 2000 season pitching for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, but after starting 1–2 with a 4.61 ERA, was released on May 8.

On May 18, he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Dukes. Two months and nine saves later, the Dukes released him.

The WaterWheel Foundation

The WaterWheel Foundation is a non-profit organization created by the rock band Phish on April 22, 1997, to oversee their charitable activities. Initially, the Foundation included The Touring Division, The Giving Program, and the Lake Champlain Initiative.

The Lake Champlain Initiative continues to donate proceeds from the sale of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream to support the environmental well-being of Lake Champlain and its watershed.

Lake Champlain Initiative
Lake Champlain, a sizeable lake on the Vermont/New York border, is currently plagued by several major problems: an overabundance of phosphorus from sewage, agricultural/urban run-off, toxic waste, and invasions of non-native species.  Over half of the lake is considered to be too polluted to be of full use, and yet sees over $1 billion in tourism each year.

Fellow Vermonters Ben & Jerry's approached the band in 1995 regarding a flavor called Phish Food; Phish decided that they would donate all royalties to help Lake Champlain.  WaterWheel has given away over $1 million to 29 organizations working on issues affecting Lake Champlain covering a wide variety of issues: land conservation, environmental advocacy, activism, education, and so forth.

Phish drummer Jon Fishman said the band was inspired to found the Waterwheel Foundation by actor Paul Newman, who founded the Newman's Own food company and donated all profit from their products to charity.

Touring Division
The primary mission of WaterWheel's Touring Division is dedicated to raising funds for one selected non-profit in each community to which Phish toured.  The proceeds from the sale of WaterWheel merchandise is donated directly to the organization table of the charity at that particular show.  WaterWheel has donated over $400,000 to more than 189 organizations.

During the band's hiatus (10/00 - 12/02), the Touring Division continued to tour with Trey Anastasio side-projects (Anastasio's first project, Oysterhead).  Original Touring Division directors Mike Hayes and Henry Schwab left the organization at the commencement of the hiatus.  The division's activities were carried forward by Chris Prang & Matt Beck through the hiatus and into Phish's first two years back on the road.

Local giving
Comprising the organizations in which a band member takes a personal interest, Local Giving is concentrated on Vermont-based non-profits.  Past recipients have included the Vermont Youth Orchestra, Women's Rape Crisis Center, Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts, The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, and Vermont Public Television.

Aid and Rescue Committee

The Aid and Rescue Committee, or Va'adat Ha-Ezrah ve-ha-Hatzalah be-Budapesht (Vaada for short; name in ) was a small committee of Zionists in Budapest, Hungary, in 1944–1945, who helped Hungarian Jews escape the Holocaust during the German occupation of that country. The Committee was also known as the Rescue and Relief Committee, and the Budapest Rescue Committee.

The main personalities of the Vaada were Ottó Komoly, president; Rudolf Kasztner, executive vice-president; Samuel Springmann, treasurer; and Joel Brand, who was in charge of tijul or the underground rescue of Jews. Other members were Hansi Brand (Joel Brand's wife);  Erno Szilagyi from the left-wing Hashomer Hatzair; Peretz Revesz; Andras Biss; and Nison Kahan. After the German occupation in March 1944 responsibilities were split: Otto Komoly became mainly in charge of dealing with Hungarian government, military and police figures (the so-called 'line A'), while Kasztner (after Brand's departure to Istanbul) led the negotiations with the Germans (the so-called 'line B') including Eichmann.

Frisbee (ride)

The Frisbee is a type of pendulum amusement ride featuring a circular gondola that rotates as it swings back and forth. Riders are seated on the gondola facing inward or outward, depending on the model. On some models, the entire pendulum makes a full 360 degree swing.

Design and operation
A pendulum is suspended between two support frames. Attached to the base of this pendulum is a circular gondola. Riders are seated in the gondola, facing either inwards or outwards. When the ride cycle starts, the gondola begins to rotate. In addition, the pendulum arm begins to swing through an arc, maxing out between 120° and 360° (full revolution). Most parks require riders to be at least  tall.

Variants

UltraMax 
The UltraMax is a type of amusement ride manufactured by Mondial which is like the HUSS Frisbee however passengers face outwards and are sitting one of the four seats on one of the six gondolas as the ride gets higher momentum and eventually starts going upside down. The ride is built with one arm with two supports and then the arm with the gondolas attached. It also uses the same harness as the ones used on the Top Scans.

Installations

* Rotator at Emerald Park does not go full 360° anymore due to people getting sick on it.

Incidents 
In May 2017, greasing material on a KMG Freak Out ride at Barry's Amusements at Portrush in Northern Ireland was dislodged, causing a loud bang and oil to spray over people and the nearby children's roller coaster. Nobody was injured, but the ride remained closed for the rest of the day whilst park staff investigated.

In July 2017, an 18-year old was killed while riding a KMG Fireball (aka Afterburner) ride that malfunctioned at the Ohio State Fair, sending him flying more than 50 feet in the air. Seven others were injured as well. Numerous fairs and exhibitions have either shut down or pulled the Fireball from their attractions in response to the incident.  KMG stated that the malfunction was due to a corroded support beam.

In June 2019, a Zamperla Discovery Revolution ride at Waldameer Park & Water World malfunctioned, resulting in the riders stuck upside down for several minutes. There were no injuries.

Ziziphus celata

Ziziphus celata, commonly known as the Florida jujube or Florida ziziphus, is a terrestrial flowering plant endemic to central Florida.

Description
It is a small spiny shrub that is usually less than 2 meters tall.  Clusters of highly fragrant tiny green flowers are borne in winter, and grape-sized, yellow-orange fruit develop in spring.

Range
The species is currently restricted to just eight sites which collectively support only a few genetically distinct individuals.

The first known record of the plant was from a single, mysterious, dried herbarium specimen originally collected in 1948 near the city of Sebring in Highlands County, Florida, U.S. Because the precise location of the locality had not been recorded by Ray Garrett, of Avon Park, and because no living plants were known to exist in the wild, the species was presumed extinct. In 1984 the species was described and named posthumously by W.S. Judd & D.W. Hall of the University of Florida. Many botanists later searched for Ziziphus celata, but none were successful until 1987 when the species was rediscovered by Kris R. DeLaney, a Florida botanist also from Avon Park.  DeLaney later discovered two additional populations, one consisting of only a single large plant, the other of several dozen scattered over, and persisting in, a large area of improved cattle pasture.  Ziziphus celata is very nearly extinct. Of the eight known populations, four are in old pastures, three on degraded sites, and the most recent discovery is in its natural sandhill habitat, found in early April, 2007 by Brett Miley, a Florida ecologist, while photographing other endangered plants.

Habitat
Very little remains of central Florida's once vast upland ecosystems.  Agribusiness and unplanned, sprawling commercial development in central and south Florida, along with inadequate conservation and regulatory programs, have decimated Florida's ecosystems and pushed hundreds of native plant and animals species to the brink of extinction. Florida's ecosystems and vegetative communities have been so completely disrupted, and so much genetic diversity lost, that many formerly widespread and common plants are considered to be "genetically" extinct, and incapable of adapting and surviving as part of a functioning ecosystem.

Ziziphus celata is listed as an endangered species in the United States.

Fuck What You Think

Fuck What You Think is the second and final album by American/Canadian hip hop group Main Source. It was scheduled for release by Wild Pitch Records in 1994, although it is unclear whether the album actually made it to stores. However, the album was released, or re-released, in 1999. Large Professor, one of the group's founding members, left the group before the making of the album.

On this album, K-Cut and Sir Scratch combined their talents with Mikey D, an emcee previously signed to Sleeping Bag Records, who demonstrates a raw voice and delivery. The song "Set It Off" includes verses from Jadakiss and Sheek Louch of The Lox before they became successful a few years later. A female emcee named Shaqueen (Kool G Rap's former wife) contributes to "Set It Off" and "Fuck What You Think." Only one single was released from the album, "What You Need," in 1993.

Madonna sampled the bass line from "What You Need" in the song "Human Nature," which appeared on her 1994 album Bedtime Stories.

Critical reception
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that the group's "fresh, jazzy platform was well served by the indignant, often complex lyrical matter they pursued." The Guardian called the album "only OK - but then, compared to [the] innovative debut, most records are."

Track listing
 All tracks produced by K-Cut, except track 2 produced by L.T., and tracks 4, 8, and 10 produced by Sir Scratch.

Abdullah Abdulqadirakhun

Abdullah Abdulqadirakhun is a Uyghur refugee, who was held for more than seven years in Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.

The Department of Defense reports that Abdulqadirakhum was born on June 18, 1979, in Xinjiang, China and assigned him the Internment Serial Number 285.

Abdulqadirakhun was one of the 22 Uyghurs held in Guantanamo. It was later learned that he was innocent of the claims against him.

He won his habeas corpus in 2008. Judge Ricardo Urbina declared his detention as unlawful and ordered to set him free in the United States. He was sent to Bermuda in June 2009 together with three other Uyghurs, Khalil Mamut, Huzaifa Parhat and Emam Abdulahat, on June 11, 2009.

Worms: Open Warfare

Worms: Open Warfare is a 2D artillery tactical game. It was developed by Team17 and published by THQ for the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS. It is the first game in the Worms series to be released for seventh generation handheld consoles and marked the series' return to its original 2D gameplay style.

Gameplay
In Open Warfare, the player takes control of an army of worms. The goal of the game is to defeat the opposing army through reducing the health points of enemy worms using various types of weaponry while avoiding friendly fire and other obstacles. The weapons and gadgets the players use in battle include grenades, homing missiles, bazookas, cluster bombs, banana bombs (a Worms staple), dynamite, air strikes, shotguns, and many more. They can also choose from a variety of settings to battle in and make own schemes and teams.

The game is played in rounds with each worm starting with 100 hit points. Each team takes turns controlling one of their worms. The player is usually allocated 60 seconds per turn to move their worm around the battlefield and attack the opponent worms, though this time limit is customisable when playing non-career games. Only one attack is allowed per turn.

In addition to timing individual player turns, each round has a 20-minute time limit. If the round timer runs down to 0:00 before a team claims victory, every worm's HP drops to 1, creating a sudden death scenario. During the course of a round, crates containing health or weapons will occasionally drop and the water level will rise.

Reception

Worms: Open Warfare received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics. Aggregate review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PSP version 71.29% based on 21 reviews and 70/100 based on 22 reviews and the DS version 63.60% based on 25 reviews and 64/100 based on 24 reviews.

GamesRadar praised the graphics and the local multiplayer mode, but criticised the omission of online multiplayer and the artificial intelligence.

Sequels
The original game spawned a direct sequel, Worms: Open Warfare 2, in 2007. A console port of Open Warfare was also released on Xbox Live Arcade in the same year. The console version would spawn its own 2009 sequel, Worms 2: Armageddon, which in-turn was ported to PCs as Worms Reloaded in 2010.

Willows Beach

Willows Beach, Victoria is a beachfront in the Municipality of Oak Bay, in  Victoria, British Columbia. Along Willows Beach is Willows Park, where a tea-room is run by the Kiwanis Club in spring and summer. It takes its name from the Willows Fairground built in 1891 and which remained Greater Victoria's main horse-racing venue during the early years of the twentieth century.  The Willows Racetrack was situated nearly a kilometre (about a half a mile) inland from the beach, so named because of the willow trees that grew there.

This was the site of the ancient Salish Sea seaport of Sitchanalth. Archaeological digs have identified a Coast Salish permanent encampment of several thousand people for generations. The centre of the community was at the mouth of Bowker Creek where currently the well known private school Glenlyon Norfolk School (GNS) is located. This is the site of what is hypothesized to be the main long-house of the village. The latest theory is that the whole seaport was destroyed by the Great Salish Sea (Seattle) tsunami of 930AD.

Activities
Willows Beach is a very actively used beach and park in Victoria.  On summer days the public areas are usually packed with people. Various clubs and organizations often hold gatherings in Willows Park, including rallies, club meetings, poetry readings, barbecues and family gatherings.

There are areas where the public can set up volleyball courts and often on the weekend the spaces are filled quickly.

Willows Beach is also the location of the annual Oak Bay Tea Party, in which people from all over Victoria participate, enjoying the rides, shows, games, and the parade which runs all around Oak Bay.

To the very north of the beach, is Uplands Park to the left (North) of Beach Drive and Cattle Point on the water side of the road (South). Cattle Point is the site of the Cattle Point Star Sanctuary (aka Cattle Point Dark Sky Star Park). This is also the site of the world's largest orrery, The Salish Sea Walk of the Planets.

There are a quite a few trails in this area. Skimboarders frequent the beach in the spring and summer. The north and south ends are shallower, which are more ideal for skimboarding. The north end of the beach at Cattle Point is the start and end of the Salish Sea Walk of the Planets, and the local stretch, the Oak Bay Walk of the Planets. [Mercury] is located by the Kiwanis Tea Room. Visitors can enjoy a wonderful two hour walk around the inner solar system enjoying the coastline and back gardens of Oak Bay.

Palestro

Palestro is a town and comune in the province of Pavia. It is located on the banks of the river Sesia.

History
Although located in area settled by Celts, Etruscans, Romans and Lombards, Palestro is mentioned for the first time in 999 AD, when it was given to the bishop of Vercelli by emperor Otto III. It was located in the Via Francigena and at the time it was a fortified borough. Later it was ruled by the Visconti of Milan (1335-1452), then by the Borromeo family and, from 1500, by Spain, which was ended by its acquisition by the Duchy of Savoy in 1614.

Palestro was the site of the Battle of Palestro of 30–31 May 1859, in the course of the Second Italian War of Independence

Twin towns
Palestro is twinned with:

Yermo xanthocephalus

Yermo xanthocephalus commonly known as the desert yellowhead is an American flowering plant endemic to southern Wyoming. It is the only member of the genus Yermo and was first described in 1991.

Distribution
The desert yellowhead is currently known to exist only in two populations on less than  of Bureau of Land Management land in southern Fremont County, Wyoming. One population contains an estimated 12,000 plants, the other about 400 plants.

Description
Yermo xanthocephalus is a perennial, herbaceous plant growing up to  in height with alternate, leathery leaves. The leaves are lanceolate to obovate, up to  in length and  in width. The leaves produce a mild numbing sensation in the mouth when ingested.

Numerous flowerheads (25–180) are crowded at the top of the stem. Each composite flower contains four to six yellow disk flowers and no ray flowers. It typically flowers from mid-June to August.

Conservation
The plant has been a federally listed threatened species in the United States since 2002.  it is not included in the IUCN Red List.

At the time of its listing, the desert yellowhead was threatened by human activities, including potential oil and gas field development on two leases that encompass the plant's habitat. The two populations were protected from surface disturbance activities related to oil and gas field development in 2005. The habitat is also in the vicinity of mineral resources such as opals, gold, uranium, and zeolites. As of 2012, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considered the threat from oil and gas development and mineral extraction to be "low in severity and magnitude and not an immediate threat to the species".

Other potential threats include recreational off-road vehicle use in the area, and one of the populations has been closed to off-road vehicles. No illegal cross-country vehicular travel has been noted and the threat remains low.  Non-native and invasive species such as Hyoscyamus niger (black henbane), Cardaria spp. (whitetops), and Centaurea repens (Russian knapweed) are in the vicinity and may post a threat to the populations in the future. The threat of oversampling for education and research as well as livestock and wild ungulate grazing and trampling were considered to be low in severity. Because of the desert yellowhead's small population and limited geographic range, even small-scale habitat degradation could make it vulnerable to extinction.

However, recent surveys indicate that the desert yellowhead population appears stable and current conditions appear favorable to the species and its habitat.

Sesquioxide

A sesquioxide is an oxide of an element (or radical), where the ratio between the number of atoms of that element and the number of atoms of oxygen is 2:3. For example, aluminium oxide  and phosphorus(III) oxide  are sesquioxides.
Many sesquioxides contain a metal in the +3 oxidation state and the oxide ion , e.g., aluminium oxide , lanthanum(III) oxide  and iron(III) oxide . Sesquioxides of iron and aluminium are found in soil. The alkali metal sesquioxides are exceptions because they contain both peroxide  and superoxide  ions, e.g., rubidium sesquioxide  is formulated . Sesquioxides of metalloids and nonmetals are exceptions too, e.g. boron trioxide , dinitrogen trioxide  and phosphorus(III) oxide .

Many transition metal oxides crystallize in the corundum structure type, with space group Rc. Sesquioxides of rare earth elements crystalize into one or more of three crystal structures: hexagonal (type A, space group Pm1), monoclinic (type B, space group C2/m), or body-centered cubic (type C, space group Ia).

Sesquioxidizing, meaning the creation of a sesquioxide, is the highest scoring word that would fit on a Scrabble board, though it does not actually appear in any official Scrabble dictionary. Though the Oxford English Dictionary already listed the noun and the past participle adjective — sesquioxidation and sesquioxidized, respectively — the verb, sesquioxidize, and its conjugated forms, have been absent from the dictionaries used as sources for the official Scrabble word lists. An early appearance of the noted present participle had occurred in the 1860 publication of the State of New York's Legislative Assembly's Transactions of the State Medical Society, yet the word's first appearance in a dictionary was in the 1976 edition of Josepha Heifetz Byrne's Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure, and Preposterous Words (), One could theoretically score 2044 points in a single move, when otherwise only words from the official Scrabble word list are used.

Indiana State Road 45

State Road 45 is a state route from Bean Blossom, Indiana to Scotland, Indiana in the southern half of the state.

Route description
From Bean Blossom and through Brown County, State Road 45 is a narrow, shoulderless two-lane road that passes between the Morgan-Monroe State Forest and the Yellowwood State Forest.

As the road passes into Monroe County, the woods disappear and farms and homes begin to line the road. The road remains hilly and curvy until it reaches Bloomington, where it bypasses the city concurrent with State Road 46 and then State Road 37 and Interstate 69. West of Bloomington, shoulders appear on State Road 45 and its two lanes become wider. The road meanders with the rolling terrain until it meets and overlaps State Road 58, after which it is straight and flat until its terminus at US 231.

History
Prior to the early 1980s, State Road 45 was multiplexed with U.S. 231 from Rockport to the State Road 58 junction near Scotland.  However, as with State Road 43's former multiplex with 231 from Spencer to Lafayette, the state highway department deleted much of the route.

This left the current segment along with a short, 5-mile section from Patronville to Rockport that acted as a connector to then-U.S. 231 (now State Road 161) and Owensboro, Kentucky. This southern section was decommissioned and turned over to the control of the city of Rockport (within the city limits) and Spencer County (outside of Rockport) in early 2001, about a year before U.S. 231 was rerouted onto the William H. Natcher Bridge.

A major construction project to widen the road to four lanes in Bloomington was completed in November 2012.

Steve Adams (footballer, born 1980)

Stephen Marc Adams (born 25 September 1980) is an English former footballer.

Club career
Adams began his career as a trainee with Plymouth Argyle, his hometown team, turning professional in August 1998. His first team debut came on 8 December 1998 when he was a second-half substitute (for Mike Heathcote) as Plymouth lost 2–0 away to Brentford in the first round of the Football League Trophy. He had to wait until 6 May 2000 for his league debut, playing in the 2–2 draw away to Mansfield Town. He was an ever-present member of the Argyle side that won the Third Division Championship in 2001–2002 and was rewarded with a new two-year contract at the end of the season.

He was also a vital member of the Argyle sides that won the Division Two title in 2003–2004.

He went on to make 176 appearances, scoring seven goals for Argyle before moving to Sheffield Wednesday, managed by former Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock, in March 2005 for an undisclosed fee. He signed a deal that would keep him at Hillsborough till 2007. His 2005–2006 season was hampered by an Achilles injury problem and Adams managed to make only eight appearances. Despite his injuries, former manager Sturrock rated him as one of his very best players. He was released by Sturrock's successor, Brian Laws, in May 2007. Adams had made 21 appearances in all competitions for Sheffield Wednesday.

Adams joined up with Sturrock again, signing for Swindon Town in August 2007 after a successful trial. In January 2008, Adams was offered a new short-term contract with Swindon until the end of the season but turned it down when Torquay United offered him a better contract. He had made six appearances in all competitions for Swindon.

Adams joined Conference National side Torquay United along with fellow Swindon Town midfielder Kaid Mohamed in January 2008. He made his debut on 28 January 2008 in the 1–0 win at home to Histon and made 15 starts in all competitions, as Torquay made both the play-off semi-final and the FA Trophy final.

Since then, he failed to cement a starting place at Plainmoor and made just two starts in all competitions the following season.

Adams signed for Forest Green Rovers on loan in August 2009 making seven appearances in a one-month loan spell.

In October 2009 Adams signed a 3-month loan deal with Truro City. This was extended on 16 January 2010 to the end of the season.

He was released by Torquay on 15 May 2010 along with six other players.

Dortmund Port

Construction on Dortmund's port which terminates the Dortmund-Ems Canal connecting Dortmund to the North Sea started in 1895. It was opened 1899 by Kaiser Wilhelm. At the beginning of the 20th century it was mainly used for the import and export of wheat, coal and ore. The port was expanded in the 1920s and 1930s by adding new docks as well as on the administrative infrastructure (Dortmunder Hafenamt). Today Dortmund Port is the biggest European canal port with 10 docks and a pier length of 11 km.

Gaining its greatest importance after WW II, in 1972 6.2 million tonnes of good were shipped over the port. But even the completion of the container port in 1987 could not stop the gradual decline of the port resulting from the extinction of the coal and steel industries in Dortmund.

2.96 million tons of freight were shipped over the Dortmund Port in 2007, an increase of 7.1 percent compared to the previous year.

In the process of restructuring the industry in the Ruhrgebiet and in Dortmund, local politicians are looking for new ways to use the old port. Planned projects are the construction of a marina and high-quality areas for recreational use and residential redevelopment on the water.

In 2005 a first location for recreational use was established.

Radio West Fife

Radio West Fife is one of Scotland's oldest hospital radio stations and broadcasts by landline to the Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline.

From its humble beginnings in September 1953, when broadcasting from a shed in the grounds of the West Fife Hospital, the station has grown considerably. This has been achieved partly through the fundraising efforts of the members and partly through sponsorships.

In the early days, the station focused on live broadcasts from Dunfermline Athletic Football Club’s home games at East End Park, but now broadcasts a mix of music and specialist output including religious programmes.

Following a spell of broadcasting from a caravan at Milesmark Hospital, the station moved to the grounds of Lynebank Hospital in 1993.

Some pupils from nearby St Columbus High School volunteer at Radio West Fife as part of school community outreach programmes.

The station began broadcasting online as a community radio station on 23 March 2012.

In May 2020, Radio West Fife was awarded an FM license from Ofcom.

Current facilities 
Radio West Fife is currently based at Rosyth Business Centre, having moved from its studio at Queen Margaret Hospital in 2019 due to re-development of facilities at the hospital. The station began broadcasting from Rosyth in February 2020.

Radio West Fife broadcasts online on their website and on the mobile apps TuneIn and Local Radio Player.
