Radfan

Radfan or the Radfan Hills is a region of the Republic of Yemen.  In the 1960s, the area was part of a British protectorate of Dhala (a member of the Federation of South Arabia) and was the site of intense fighting during the Aden Emergency. In 1964, local Qutaibi tribespeople attacked the British on the Aden to Mecca caravan route which passed through the nearby town Dhala (Ad Dali'). The tribespeople had traditionally collected tolls from passing caravans, but the implementation of the customs union of the Federation of South Arabia in 1962 put a stop to this. The tribespeople resented the loss of this income. 

The highest peak is Jebel Huriyah at 1867m (6125 ft).

Červené Dřevo

Červené Dřevo () is a hamlet in Chudenín in Klatovy District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

Geography
Červené Dřevo is located about  southwest of Klatovy, about 1 km east of the border with Germany. It is situated in Fleky part of the municipality of Chudenín.

History
Červené Dřevo (under its German name Rothenbaum) was founded after the Thirty Years' War (mid-17th century). Situated in the historical region of Sudetenland, it was inhabited by Sudeten Germans. The church was founded in 1680. In 1880, the settlement consisted of ten houses.

From the revolution in 1848 until World War I, Červené Dřevo/Rothenbaum was a separate municipality, and included also the nearby village of Fleky. After the war, Fleky became a municipality and Červené Dřevo was attached to it. Following the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II, the village was deserted and destroyed, and Czechoslovak border fortifications during the Cold War were installed. The locality then fell under the administration of the municipality of Chudenín.

Sights
The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows used to be in the village. It was burned in 1953 and the ruins were demolished shortly after. In the early 1990s, the expellees erected a memorial in the ruins of the church.

Army Bureau of Current Affairs

The Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA) was an organisation within the British Army during World War II to promote discussion among soldiers about current events, citizenship, and post-war reconstruction.

In August 1940, Lord Croft, Under-Secretary of State for War, had sought the advice of Dr Tom Jones – renowned for his commitment to adult education – about supplying 'mental stimulant' to troops. "TJ" had immediately recommended his protégé William Emrys Williams, who was thus appointed director of the new unit. Both the ABCA and the Directorate of Army Education (run by Lt Col Frederic William Duffield Bendall) came under the Director-General of Welfare and Education.

Williams insisted – despite some controversy – on the right to education, in particular in current affairs, for servicemen and women, and ran the ABCA for the duration of the war. For this role, he became known as ABCA Bill.

The ABCA was a programme of general education for citizenship for servicemen and women: officers attended courses on conducting discussions groups, and these were started as hourly sessions each week. Such was the response that ABCA rapidly expanded resulting in photographic display; wall newspapers articles written by the men themselves; and an "Anglo American Brains Trust".  The ABCA issued pamphlets in units and promoted discussions, for instance about post-war reconstruction and the Beveridge report. It met with resistance from Winston Churchill, who felt it was a poor use of military time.

The organisation is sometimes regarded as a factor in the landslide Labour Party victory in the post-war general election in 1945, a charge that was refuted by General Ronald Adam, the Adjutant General, who had overall responsibility for the Bureau.  Nonetheless, ABCA organisers and teachers predominantly seem to have been left-wing, as were the soldiers who attended the classes, and classes became dominated by discussion of nationalisation and social justice. The service vote in the election that followed is said to have been the most dramatic reflection of the public mood, with as many as 80% of soldiers voting for the Labour Party according to some sources.

After the war and under the auspices of the Carnegie Trust, Williams transformed the ABCA into the Bureau of Current Affairs, moving their offices to Piccadilly in London and continued their activities in peacetime with the assistance of several ABCA contributors including the artists James Boswell.

Alan Woodward

Alan Woodward (7 September 1946 – 21 May 2015) was a professional footballer who played in the position of outside right for Sheffield United over a 16-year period between 1962 and 1978.

Woodward or Woody as he was nicknamed, will be best remembered for his powerful shots. He was also a dead-ball specialist, especially effective with corners, and scored directly from them on many occasions. Wearing the No.7 shirt; he possessed pace, power, and skill and was a local lad who, it is often said, missed out on international recognition because of his temperament. He played in the Sheffield United goal to cover for injuries.

His first appearances for Sheffield United came in their two County Cup (a regional competition for teams in South Yorkshire) fixtures of season 1963–64, against Rotherham United in the semi-final and Barnsley in the final. The County Cup competition was won by United 4–3 with Woodward scoring the first goal of the game and the first of his first team career.

His League debut came against Liverpool at Anfield on 7 October 1964 and his first goal came on 31 October against Leeds United at Elland Road. He scored 4 goals (including a penalty) in a 7–0 home victory against Ipswich Town on 27 November 1971. He left United at the start of season 1978–79, his final goal being a penalty against River Plate of Argentina, in order to play for the Tulsa Roughnecks, where he was nicknamed "the Boomer" for his strong, high arching and accurate passes and shots on goal, in the North American Soccer League.

He remains the Blades' leading post-war scorer and made a total of 538 league appearances for United.

After retirement Woodward remained in Oklahoma for the rest of his life. In 1984, he established the competitive youth soccer club, Tulsa Sheffield United FC. Throughout his long career whether playing, coaching, training, and volunteering he made a huge impact on youth soccer in Oklahoma. He also worked for American Airlines, retiring in 2009 after a 20 year career. He died on May 21, 2015, at his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives

The National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR), established in 1979, is an association of more than 4,000 attorneys, non-attorney representatives, and paralegals who represent Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income claimants. The organization provides continuing education and training for persons who represent claimants for disability benefits. 

The organization sponsors twice-a-year meetings with lectures and classes, and  provides copies of important decisions, and other useful materials to members.  The organization regularly comments on proposed changes in federal disability regulations and is regularly invited to provide testimony to Congress on related matters. The Commissioner of Social Security frequently speaks to NOSSCR meetings, providing updates on the federal programs.

NOSSCR recognizes persons who have provided special service to the disabled through the Eileen Sweeney Distinguished Service Award, given to "individuals whose outstanding service has resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of advocacy for Social Security claimants, a significant increase in the availability of advocacy for Social Security claimants, or a significant improvement in the Social Security adjudicatory process."

The organization states that its members are committed to providing high quality representation for claimants, to maintaining a system of full and fair adjudication for every claimant, and to advocating for beneficial change in the disability determination and adjudication process.

John R. Cherry III

John Robert Cherry III (October 11, 1948 – May 8, 2022) was an American film director and screenwriter, most notable for creating the character of Ernest P. Worrell, played by Jim Varney.

Career

A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Cherry attended the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.

He was the executive vice president and co-namesake of the Nashville-based Carden and Cherry advertising agency, for which the "Ernest" character was developed. He based the character on a man who worked for his father, about whom Cherry said, that he thought he knew everything but did not know anything. 

Ernest was portrayed for 15 years by Jim Varney, who at the time of the character's debut was an up-and-coming stand-up comic; after a string of successful commercials and sketches, Cherry directed a television series (Hey, Vern! It's Ernest) and several movies. Cherry made three cameo appearances in his own films: in Slam Dunk Ernest as a basketball spectator, Ernest Goes to Africa as a customer, and in Ernest in the Army as Sergeant Ben Kovsky. In addition to Varney, Cherry also introduced the comic duo of Chuck and Bobby (Gailard Sartain and Bill Byrge respectively), who were integrated into the Ernest films as supporting characters.

Cherry retired the Ernest character after Varney's declining health made it impossible for him to continue in the role (Varney died in 2000). He directed two other films without Ernest: For Love or Mummy, a collaboration with Larry Harmon that sought to reintroduce the long-deceased Laurel and Hardy comic team with new actors (with Hardy portrayed by Sartain); and Pirates of the Plain, for which Cherry had intended to include Varney but could not.

Personal life
Cherry had three children from two marriages. His son Josh appeared in Ernest in the Army as Corporal Davis.

Death
Cherry died from Parkinson's disease on May 8, 2022, aged 73.

Sairusi Nagagavoka

Ratu Sairusi Nagagavoka (1920–2014) was a Fijian chief and political leader from Ba Province.  He held the traditional title of  Momo na Tui Ba (Tai Ko BULU) , commonly abbreviated to Tui Ba Bulu, and as such was one of two paramount chiefs in the Ba district of Ba Province.  He was the President of the Party of National Unity (PANU), which he founded in 1998.

Nagagavoka was regarded as a champion of multiracialism and multiculturalism, a rarity in a country whose electoral faultline was split ethnically rather than ideologically. He considered himself a protégé of the late Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, Fiji's longtime former Prime Minister and President, whom he described as "a great leader who was able to unite all races in Fiji."  He made this comment at the campaign launch of the Fiji Labour Party, to which his own party was electorally allied, in Ba Town on 11 February 2006.  Speaking first in Hindi and closing in Fijian, Nagagavoka said that the country could not afford divisions, and called on political parties to cooperate to build a strong nation.

In the wake of the military coup which deposed the Qarase government on 5 December 2006, Nagagavoka called on the people to accept the reality that the Republic of Fiji Military Forces now effectively controlled the country.  He boycotted a Great Council of Chiefs meeting in the third week of December, and was quoted in the Fiji Sun (20 and 24 December) as saying that political arguments were a waste of time and would only lead to more divisions.  Prior to the coup, the Fiji Sun had quoted him (1 December) as saying that before the 1987 coups and 2000 coup, Fiji had been on the way to becoming an advanced and prosperous nation, but that the coups had thwarted the country's progress.

Nagagavoka was married to Bulou Suguta Soweri. They had eight children, 31 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.

Jón Helgason (poet)

Jón Helgason (June 30, 1899 - January 19, 1986) was an Icelandic philologist and poet. He was head of the Danish Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies from 1927 to 1972 and professor of Icelandic studies at the University of Copenhagen from 1929 to 1969. He made significant contributions to his field. As a poet, he was not prolific but noted for his highly polished and effective traditional poetry. His best-known poems are Áfangar and Í Árnasafni.

One of his discoveries at the institute is the pair of glossaries that are the only documentation on Basque–Icelandic pidgin.

In 1923, he married Þórunn Ástriður Björnsdóttir (1895-1966) and in 1975 married Agnete Loth (1921-1990).

Student leader

A student leader is any student who takes on the responsibility of spreading knowledge through inspiration, tutoring, campaigns etc.
A student leader strives to change the world by starting with their own community.

Position details
Student leadership positions are often made available through an application process. This process varies from school to school and position to position, some being highly selective, while others are relatively easy to fill. Some student leadership positions are unpaid, while others receive an hourly wage for their work. Many positions that have odd hours or unclear work times will receive a stipend rather than an hourly wage. This is often the case for resident assistants, members of student government, and student representatives on government boards or panels.

In a broader sense, a student leader can take up the responsibility of their community, their city, their country or the world and work towards it with or without the help of a mentor.

Although most student positions on government panels are advisory, the state boards of education of California and Massachusetts include student members with full voting authority.

Examples
A student leader could be any of the following roles.

Primary or secondary school 
 Member of student government, student council, or ASB.
 Teachers aide
 Peer mentor
 Member of any number of student clubs or organizations
 Peer-mediated instruction

School
 Resident Assistant
 Member of student government
 Member of Residence Hall Association or NACURH or NRHH
 Member of incoming freshmen orientation team
 Student assistant or employee
