John Mahaffey

John Drayton Mahaffey Jr. (born May 9, 1948) is an American professional golfer who has won numerous tournaments including 10 PGA Tour events.

Early life 
Mahaffey was born in Kerrville, Texas. He attended the University of Houston in Houston, Texas. Mahaffey graduated in 1970 with a degree in psychology.

Professional career 
He turned pro in 1971. Mahaffey came close to winning back to back U.S. Opens. In 1975, he lost in a playoff to Lou Graham at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois. The following year Mahaffey had a two-shot lead after 54 holes at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Georgia before shooting a final round 73 and finishing T-4.

In 1978, he won the PGA Championship. It was held at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Mahaffey became the best comeback winner in PGA history after trailing Tom Watson by seven strokes with 14 holes to play. Ultimately, the tournament came down to a three-player playoff – Mahaffey, Watson and Jerry Pate. All three players made par on the first playoff hole. The drama ended on the second playoff hole when Pate missed the green, Watson missed a 30-foot birdie attempt and Mahaffey made his 12-foot birdie putt for the Championship. Later in the year he also won the World Cup individual and team event where he was paired with Andy North in 1978.

Mahaffey played on the 1979 Ryder Cup team the following year.

Baron Stuart de Decies

Baron Stuart de Decies, of Dromana within the Decies in the County of Waterford, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 10 May 1839 for Henry Villiers-Stuart, Member of Parliament for County Waterford and Banbury and Lord-Lieutenant of County Waterford. He was the eldest son of Lord Henry Crichton-Stuart, third son of John Stuart, 1st Marquess of Bute (see the Marquess of Bute for earlier history of the Stuart family). His mother was Lady Gertrude Emilia, daughter of George Mason-Villiers, 2nd Earl Grandison (see the Viscount Grandison for earlier history of this family). There was uncertainty over the validity of his marriage and his son Henry Villiers-Stuart was not allowed to succeed in the title, which became extinct on his death in 1874.

Two other members of this branch of the Stuart family may also be mentioned. William Villiers-Stuart (1804–1873), second son of Lord Henry Crichton-Stuart and younger brother of the first Baron, sat as Member of Parliament for Waterford. His grandson William Desmond Villiers-Stuart (1872–1961) was a Brigadier-General in the British Army and fought in the First World War.

Mossimo

Mossimo was a sportswear and accessories company, founded in 1986 by designer Mossimo Giannulli that was acquired by Iconix Brand Group in 2006. Mossimo specialized in youth and teenage clothing such as shirts, jeans, jackets, socks, underwear, and accessories.

History

Founding (1986) and expansion
Mossimo was founded in 1986 by Mossimo Giannulli on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, California. Giannulli dropped out of the University of Southern California in 1987, to create his Mossimo streetwear line, with a $100,000 loan from his father. At the close of his company's first fiscal year, Giannulli had $1 million in profits. The following year, he had $4 million.

Mossimo clothing features prominently in the 1990 volleyball film Side Out.

IPO (1996) and relationship with Target (2000–2017)
In 1996, Mossimo went public in an initial public offering. After shares tumbled from $50.00 to $4.75 when Giannulli tried and failed to transition the brand from streetwear/beachwear to high fashion, he took the brand downscale. On March 28, 2000, Mossimo, Inc announced a major, multi-product licensing agreement with Target stores, for $27.8 million. In 2017, Target underwent a makeover, introducing new smaller lines and eliminating bigger billion-dollar lines, including Mossimo.

Target distanced itself from Mossimo amid Mossimo Giannulli's involvement in the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal, saying that Target had not been involved with Giannulli in over a decade. Mossimo and his wife, actress Lori Loughlin, were convicted of bribing University of Southern California officials with up to $500,000, to secure enrollment of their two daughters.

Acquisition by Iconix (2006)
In 2006, Mossimo was acquired by Iconix Brand Group.

Autonomism in Quebec

Quebec autonomism is the belief that Quebec should seek to gain more autonomy as a province, while remaining a part of the Canadian federation. The concept was first articulated by Maurice Duplessis; it has since been advocated primarily by Quebec's nationalist and conservative political parties, including Union Nationale, Action démocratique du Québec, and the latter's successor Coalition Avenir Québec. Coalition Avenir Québec and Équipe Autonomiste are two contemporary parties which support Quebec autonomism.

Drawing inspiration from René Lévesque's "beau risque", and Robert Bourassa's work on the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetown Accord, its goals are, in short:
 Setting out the procedures for constitutional change
 A sharing of jurisdictions between the federal government and Quebec
 Framework for federal spending powers
 Institutional reform
 Reform of intergovernmental policies

In a speech to delegates of the ADQ, party leader Mario Dumont, on 8 May 2006, Dumont said that Quebec should seek to re-open negotiations with the federal government over Quebec's status in Confederation, and should eventually ratify the Constitution of Canada.

RMAF Kuala Lumpur Air Base

RMAF Kuala Lumpur  was an air base in Kuala Lumpur. It is also known as Sungai Besi Air Base, Simpang Airport, Old Airport.

History
It served as the main airport for Kuala Lumpur from 1952 to 1965 under the name Kuala Lumpur International Airport, until the main airport was moved to Subang International Airport. It was the first airport to serve Kuala Lumpur and currently remains as the only airport to be located within the boundaries of Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory.

Formerly known as RAF Kuala Lumpur, it was used by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (), Royal Malaysian Police Air Wing Unit and the air unit of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department.

The Royal Selangor Flying Club () also flies from Simpang Airport. The four Cessna 172N Skyhawk aircraft belonging to the club are based at this airport.

The airport was supposed to be demolished to make way for a housing estate, but that plan was cancelled and the airport is still used for air force flights. There had been non-fatal accidents before, involving single engine airplanes, at the surrounding roads and flyovers which are usually very busy during rush hours.

The airport also housed the RMAF Museum, which was the only aviation museum in Malaysia but ceased operation for the construction of the Bandar Malaysia North station. There was no entrance fee and there was a total of 18 aircraft at the museum, including a de Havilland Tiger Moth and one of the few surviving Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneers. Some of the aircraft were accessible, like the de Havilland Dove.

The airport has ceased operation as of 16 March 2018. The air base will be relocated to Sendayan in Negeri Sembilan.

Leslie Boardman

Leslie Boardman (2 August 1889 – 23 November 1975) was an Australian freestyle swimmer of the 1910s.  As a member of the Australasia combined team of Australia and New Zealand athletes, Boardman won a gold medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle relay at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.

Although little is known about Boardman, he never won any Australian championships and was not among the original selections for the Stockholm Olympics. E.G. Findlay was originally named in the team, but presumably due to lack of financing, Boardman later assumed his position in the team. According to records, he did not place at the 1912 Australian Championships and came fourth in the 220-yard freestyle at the New South Wales Championships. It is hypothesized that he was chosen because he was a teammate at the Sydney Swimming Club of Harold Hardwick and Cecil Healy.

Boardman competed in the 100-metre freestyle at the Stockholm Olympics where he won his heat, but came fourth in the second round and was eliminated. In the 4×200-metre freestyle relay, he swam the third leg as the team of Hardwick (Australia), Healy (Australia) and Malcolm Champion (New Zealand) defeated the United States team for the gold medal. He was also signed up to compete at plain high diving competition, but did not compete.

Berringa, Victoria

Berringa is a small township in west-central Victoria, Australia. It is situated in Golden Plains Shire, about 43 km southwest of Ballarat.

The township and surrounding rural community are located on the southern extremity of a range of Silurian slate and sandstone rock. The area was a centre of intensive gold mining in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The township was known as Kangaroo prior to 1900, the Post Office opening in 
January 1878 as Kangaroo, being renamed Berringa in 1900 and closing in 1955.
Gold has been mined at Berringa since the 1850s, with the main period of production being from 1898 to 1917, during which time about 280,000 ounces of gold were extracted from five major mines and several other, smaller operations. Mining continued after World War I on a lesser scale until the area was abandoned in the 1950s.

Ballarat Goldfields NL, through its subsidiary, Berringa Resources Pty. Ltd., still conducts exploration operations at Berringa.

Gold mining had a direct effect on Berringa's population, which increased from 150 in 1899 to a peak of about 4000 in 1908. By 1922, with the gold mining boom over, the population had fallen to about 100. As of the 2016 census, Berringa and the surrounding area had a population of 167. 
The Berringa district is showing a modest population revival with the tree change phenomenon. The district was the site of a significant bushfire in February 1995.

Sladen Suit

The Sladen Suit was a heavy type of British divers' drysuit made by Siebe Gorman. It is entered by a wide rubber tube at the umbilicus: this tube is folded and tied off before the diver dives. It was used by British manned torpedo riders and for general underwater work.

It was sometimes nicknamed "Clammy Death".

The first model had two small glazed viewports. It was redesigned with the single oval flip-up viewport so the wearer could get binoculars to his eyes.

"Universal" rebreather
There was an oxygen rebreather called the "Universal" that was designed to be used with it. The Universal was a long-dive derivative of the Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus.

In popular culture 
 Brian Evenson's collection of literary horror, Windeye, includes a story entitled, and about, "The Sladen Suit."

He was a member of the board of directors of the Planetary Society and also works with the Mars Society, and has written and spoken on space exploration and terraforming. He is also an adviser for the Microbes Mind Forum.

Ethics of terraforming
McKay advocates a moderately biocentric position in the ethics of terraforming, arguing that we must thoroughly explore a planet such as Mars first to discover whether there is any microbial life before taking first steps toward terraforming, and that if indigenous alien life is found in an obscure niche or dormant on Mars, we should remove all Earth life and alter Mars to support the global spread of this alien life on Mars.  He has held a series of public debates with Robert Zubrin, who advocates a moderately anthropocentric position on the ethics of terraforming.

International Conference on Information Systems

International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) is an annual international conference for academics and research-oriented practitioners in the area of information systems. Previously known as the Conference on Information Systems (CIS), ICIS is the flagship conference of the Association for Information Systems, an international professional organization serving academics in information systems.

ICIS was founded in 1980 at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the first conference was held in Philadelphia the same year. Starting in 1990, when it had its first international venue in Copenhagen, ICIS has been traditionally held outside of North America regularly. ICIS currently rotates between the Americas (AIS Region 1), Europe/Middle East/Africa (AIS Region 2), and Asia/Australia (AIS Region 3). ICIS is usually scheduled in early December and lasts for four days.

The conference is preceded by the ICIS Doctoral Consortium, held off site, usually in a nearby resort. The consortium brings together senior faculty from Information Systems (many of whom were participants in past consortia) and ~40 doctoral students, selected from ~120 nominations (each university or institution is allowed to nominate only one participant).

Sardauna, Taraba State

Sardauna (formerly Mambilla) Local Government Area is located in the extreme southeast of Taraba State in Nigeria. It is synonymous with the Mambilla Plateau, which is dotted by  many towns and villages. The capital of the LGA is Gembu, an ancient Mambilla settlement whose name is a corruption of "Gelmvu", the name of an ancient monarch of the area. Other ethnic groups from the mainstream Nigeria and neighbouring Cameroon Republic such as Hausa, Kanuri, Banso, Kambu, Fulani, etc can be found in the commercial centres.

Climate
In contrast to the rather steamy and humid climate of most other parts of southeastern Nigeria, the climate in this part of the country (owing to its altitude) is relatively cool; most days in the dry season the temperature will reach 20-23 C and drop to 16-18 C at night, whilst in the wet season these averages fall a couple of degrees.

Languages
Sardauna is highly linguistically diverse, with about two dozen distinct local languages (mostly Fulani languages, Jukunoid languages, Bantoid languages, and Mambiloid languages).

GEMSS mine system

The GEMSS mine system (Ground Emplaced Mine Scattering System) was a United States mine-laying system, part of the Family of Scatterable Mines used to rapidly emplace large tactical minefields in friendly territory.  It consisted of two different types of dispensers, the towed M128 "Frisbee Flinger" and the auxiliary M138 "Flipper" portable mine layer, and deployed mines similar to those used in the GATOR mine system minus the aeroballistic casing.  GEMSS was eventually replaced in US service by the Volcano mine system.

Operation
The M128, fitted on a modified M794 trailer, first entered service in 1986.  With an empty weight of 4,733kg, when fully loaded with 800 mines (a process which could take up to 20 minutes) the system weighed 6,364kg.  Typical loadout consisted of 666 anti-tank (AT) mines and 124 anti-personnel (AP) mines.  The M128 could be towed by a variety of wheeled or tracked prime movers. One M128 was issued to each combat engineer company operating with heavy forces.  Over the course of 25 minutes, an M128 could lay three rows of mines, each 888 meters long and 60 meters wide, separated by two lanes each 50–100 meters in width.  The area density was .005 mines per square meter, with a linear density of .75 AT land mines per meter of front.

The M138 "Flipper" was introduced in 1991 as a supplemental system to the M128.  Weighing 55kg, the unit could be mounted to any vehicle in about ten minutes.  Four Flippers were assigned to each unit with an M128, or to platoons operating as part of light forces.  Three Flippers operating together could lay a minefield of the same size and density as one laid by an M128 in the same amount of time.

Mines
GEMSS deployed two types mines, the M74 anti-personnel (AP) mine and the M75 anti-tank (AT) mine, along with an inert M79 practice mine.  All three were the same size with a diameter of 199mm and height of 66mm.  

The M74 mine weighed  in total with an explosive weight of .  Arming as it travels through the air, the mine would deploy four tripwires when it came to a rest on the ground.  The movement of a tripwire or physical disturbance of the mine itself would cause it to explode.  Expiration of the self-destruct timer or running out of power would also cause it to explode.  For storage and transportation, a sealed container could hold forty mines, divided between eight sleeves, while six containers could fit on a pallet.

The M75 mine was slightly heavier at  total and an explosive weight of .  In terms of arming, functioning and storage it was the same as the M74, however instead of deploying tripwires it would explode if a vehicle passed over it.  Additionally, one in every five M75 was fitted with an antidisturbance switch.
