Philippe DeRouville (born August 7, 1974) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played 3 games in the National Hockey League with the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 1994–95 and 1996–97 seasons. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1994 to 2008, was spent in the minor leagues and then in Europe.

Playing career
DeRouville was a top prospect in junior hockey but his National Hockey League tenure lasted all of three games in the 1990s. He bounced around the minors for five years before playing in various European leagues.

Born in Victoriaville, Quebec, DeRouville played in the QAAA with Magog before joining Longueuil Collège Français of the QMJHL. He was chosen 115th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992 then returned to junior for two more years. DeRouville represented Canada at the 1993 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. The gifted youngster was named to the league's second all-star team in 1993 and 1994. In 1993–94 his 3.06 goals against average was the best in the QMJHL.

DeRouville played most of his first two pro seasons with the IHL's Cleveland Lumberjacks but was recalled to make the odd appearance between the pipes for the Pens. In 1996–97, the emergence of rookie Patrick Lalime kept him from moving up to Pittsburgh. Eventually young goalie Jean-Sébastien Aubin and Peter Skudra supplanted DeRouville on the club's depth chart. Over his last two years he played in the ECHL, IHL, AHL and CHL before moving to Europe.  He played in Britain for the Ayr Scottish Eagles, Sweden for Timrå IK, France for Briançon and Italy for Brunico SG

Stop, drop and roll

Stop, drop and roll is a simple fire safety technique taught to children, emergency service personnel and industrial workers as a component of health and safety training in some of the anglophone world, particularly in North America. It involves three steps fire victims should follow to minimize injury in the event their clothing catches fire.

Procedure
Stop, drop and roll consists of three components:

 Stop – The fire-affected person stops, ceasing any movement which may fan the flames or hamper those attempting to put the fire out.
 Drop – The fire-affected person drops to the ground, lying down if possible, covering his face with his hands to avoid facial injury.
 Roll – The fire-affected person rolls on the ground in an effort to extinguish the fire by depriving it of oxygen. If the victim is on a rug or one is nearby, he can roll the rug around himself to further extinguish the flame.

The effectiveness of stop, drop and roll may be further enhanced by combining it with other firefighting techniques, including the use of a fire extinguisher, dousing with water or fire beating one's skin.

Those teaching the technique are advised to teach children the proper circumstances for its use. As such, some advice pamphlets regarding the technique suggest reminding children that this technique is only to be used in the event of catching on fire and not when a smoke alarm is sounding in a situation that requires immediate evacuation. Furthermore, some advice on the technique advises the procedure of "stop, drop and roll and cover your face," as this will help to protect the face from any flames.

So Pure

"So Pure" is a song written and produced by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard for Morissette's fourth album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998). It was released internationally as the album's third single on June 14, 1999. One line in the song, "supposed former infatuation junkie", inspired its album's title. A special "radio friendly remix" was featured on US promotional singles and was only commercially released on the Australian domestic single.

"So Pure" peaking outside the top 20 on the US Billboard Adult Top 40 and Top 40 Mainstream charts, but it did peak inside the top 20 in Canada. "So Pure" failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 and performed moderately in the United Kingdom, where it reached the top 40. In 2000, the song was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards but lost to Sheryl Crow's "There Goes the Neighborhood". The music video won the award for Best Video at 2000 Juno Awards.

Music video
The single's video, directed by Morissette, featured her and (then boyfriend) actor Dash Mihok as dance partners transitioning through time and style, from ballroom to salsa, swing, tap, contemporary and rave. It was filmed over two days in Toronto, Canada. Morissette said of the video, "Over the last year, I'd become enamored with the dancing styles of the '40s in particular, and intrigued by the evolution of dancing throughout the last five decades and the spirit and different kinds of attitudes that fuel them. When it came time to create this video, there was no question that there would be dancing in it and that these different eras needed to be referenced!" The video world-premiered on AOL on June 25, 1999, and was the first from a major artist to debut on the internet.

Big Dipper (Luna Park Sydney)

The Big Dipper was a wooden roller coaster operating at Luna Park Sydney from 1935 until 1979. It was demolished in 1981. First constructed in 1930 to an American design, the wooden Big Dipper roller coaster was a mainstay of Luna Park Glenelg during its four years of operation. The ride was dismantled and shipped to Sydney when the Glenelg park went into voluntary liquidation in 1934, and became the biggest attraction of the newly opened Luna Park Milsons Point (which was later renamed Luna Park Sydney).

The ride was  long, lasted three minutes, could reach speeds of , and when all three roller coaster trains were operating, could carry 72 people.

The Big Dipper remained popular throughout its operating life. The coaster became inactive when Luna Park was closed following the 1979 Sydney Ghost Train fire, and was demolished and burned, along with most of the 'old' Luna Park, when Australian Amusements Associates took over the site on 3 June 1981. Two of the nine roller coaster cars were purchased at the auction before the demolition; one is on display within Luna Park today, while the other is part of the Powerhouse Museum collection.

Incidents

On New Year's Eve 1932, a woman who was improperly seated and not holding on fell from the Big Dipper, and died in hospital the next day. Although allegations of intoxication or mechanical failure were made, the inquest concluded that the woman had committed suicide.

On 26 April 1946, a 33-year-old man from New Caledonia was killed on the ride. He disobeyed safety instructions by sitting on the edge of a train car, and was thrown from the ride on one of the corners and into a support pole.

On 16 April 1979, 13 people were injured on the Big Dipper. A steel runner had come loose, halting one of the three rollercoaster trains. The following train rammed the stationary one, causing the injuries.

Successors

In 1994, a steel roller coaster was installed at Luna Park, and was given the Big Dipper name. Legal action against the new roller coaster led to significant restrictions in its operational availability, which contributed to the 1996 closure of Luna Park. The ride was sold to Dreamworld in 2001, where it currently operates as The Gold Coaster.

On 26 December 2021 a new Big Dipper opened, manufactured by Intamin. It is the first Hot Racer coaster, and the first launched single rail coaster in the world.

Rambo (1987 video game)

Rambo is a side-scrolling action-adventure video game produced by Pack-In-Video for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was released on December 4, 1987 in Japan, and May 1988 in North America. It is based on the film Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985). The game sold 600,000 copies.

Gameplay 
The game starts off with Colonel Trautman asking Rambo whether or not he wants to leave the prison and start the mission. Players are given a choice, but cannot advance in the game unless "yes" is chosen. Players advance through the camp and talk to others, and when talking to Trautman again, he tells Rambo the mission. Rambo then drops into the forest and fights spiders and other forest creatures. Bosses include giant spiders and helicopters. The game has similar gameplay to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. In the Japanese version, the experience meter is replaced by an anger meter; however, it functions exactly the same.

Later in the game, Rambo picks up an arsenal of weapons and fights enemy soldiers, but this happens close to the end of the game.

The  ending sequence allows the player to throw a giant kanji character (怒, Ikari:Anger) towards Murdock after returning to the base, which inexplicably turns Murdock into a frog.

The USA version ends with a simple "End", but the Japanese Famicom version contains staff credits. It is unknown why this was left out of the USA version.

Tenzing Communications

Tenzing Communications of Seattle was founded in 1999 by David Coe a small group of private investors and Simon "Symonty" Gresham. Initial funding the key software developed by Symonty.  Further development funding was raised from private equity sources and in 2001 Airbus, Cathay Pacific and Rockwell Collins became shareholders. The firm had intended to launch in-flight data services, including text messaging, instant messaging, and email using broadband satellite receivers using Inmarsat's fourth-generation satellite system. However, the satellites were not launched until March 2005 (I4 F1),  November 2005 (I4 F2) and planned April 2008 for the final Pacific Ocean Region, I4 F3.

The first installation and email transmission was on an Air Canada 767 on August 26, 2000.

In 2001, after the September 11 attacks in New York, the FAA would not allow travelers to carry bags or laptops in the passenger cabin, this derailed the company and it followed up by laying off 90% of its workforce.

In the interim, Tenzing deployed a very-low-bandwidth system in partnership with Verizon AirFone's radiotelephone network. This system was in commercial operation on United Airlines and a few other U.S. carriers for more than a year before being discontinued.

In 2004, Tenzing merged its operations into a new company, OnAir, formed with SITA and Airbus. OnAir originally intended to introduce broadband and in-flight cell services in 2005, but further delays in Inmarsat's satellite launches and other factors have put inflight trials back until early 2008 and first announced launch customer on Kingfisher Airlines mid-2009. At that time it plans to offer an in-flight cell GSM phone service, at international roaming rates.

Lady of Ro

Despina Achladiotou (), more commonly known as the Lady of Ro (), was a Greek patriot who lived on the island of Ro; part of the small archipelago of Kastellórizo. She was notable for being the sole resident of the island, and for daily raising the Greek flag, from the time she arrived there until her death.

Biography
Despina Achladiotou was born on the island of Kastellorizo, in 1890. In 1927, she sailed with her husband, Kostas Achladiotis (), to the nearby deserted island of Ro where they lived off of a few goats, chickens, and a vegetable garden. In 1940, her husband got sick, Achladiotou started three fires in order to inform the residents of Kastelorizo that they needed help, but her husband died on a boat which came to help. Achladiotou then brought her blind mother to the island, while later she personally rowed her mother's remains back to Kastellorizo for burial. She has been compared to Joan d'Arc and Boudica.

Achladiotou's most renowned deed is that every day she would fly a Greek flag over the island, even though the island was not formally part of Greece (as with the rest of the Dodecanese controlled by Italy) until 1948. During World War II, she helped the members of the Sacred Band against the Axis powers.

She raised the flag every day, regardless of the weather, from the time she arrived on the island until her death on May 13, 1982, at the age of 92. Despite not having veteran status, she was buried on the island with full military honors.

A Greek military unit is now based on the island, with the main duty of keeping the tradition of raising the flag.

Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station

The Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station (Chinese: 武吉知马卫星地面站; ) is the second satellite earth station in Singapore after Sentosa Satellite Earth Station in Sentosa Island.  

The station is located in Bukit Timah near Chantek flyover between the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE). 

As it is located next to the BKE, motorists coming into Singapore via the causeway see this as their first landmark other than Woodlands.

History 
The station is managed and owned by Singtel with the construction starting in 1983 and finishing in December 1985. It was built due to the Sentosa Satellite Earth Station not being able to accommodate additional antennas. They decided to build the second satellite earth station at Bukit Timah due to it being further away from airports and having low radio frequency interference. 

The station started operations in 1986. 

The station cost  to build. A second satellite dish was built and finished in 1988. 

In 1995, there were plans to invest an additional  into installing 3 additional satellite dishes at the Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station and the Seletar Teleport.

Other major contributors include Imam Muhammad al-Asi of Washington, D.C., whose tafsir is being serialised, M A Shaikh in London, and Perwez Shafi in Pakistan. Former editor Iqbal Siddiqui is now a columnist.

The publication has been subject of a controversy by B'nai Brith Canada as  Crescent International has published many articles referring to homophobia, antisemitism and denying Israel's right to exist.

The newspaper is also published online, under the name "Muslimedia", and with a daily news analysis under
crescent-online.net.

Maizerets

Maizerets is a neighbourhood of the la Cité-Limoilou borough of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada that had a population of 14 700 in 2011.

Domaine de Maizerets
Le Domaine de Maizerets is a 27-hectare park owned by the Commission de la Capitale Nationale du Québec. The park is operated and maintained by the Société du domaine Maizerets, a non-profit organization that was mandated to that effect.

The park offers 11 kilometers of walking trails. Bird watchers and locals frequently visit the park for its beautiful oasis of nature, which is located inside an urban area. The park features an arboretum which was created in 1997 and replaces a vacant lot formerly used as a snow dumping site in the winter. The Arboretum has been recognized as one of the province of Québec's 20 most beautiful gardens.

In winter, the park is accessible for skiers and offers ice skating and trails for snowshoeing.

The park has several buildings, one of which is the Château Ango des Maizerets, an 18th-century mansion built by the French, as well as a modern observation tower overlooking the Saint Lawrence River.

The stone barn and the Château are two of the oldest buildings in the borough, and both  are classified as patrimonial heritage by the City of Québec.

Access to the park is free and is regulated by the Quebec City by-laws.

Emmet Swimming

Emmet Swimming (who write their name as "emmet swimming") is a rock band from Fairfax, Virginia that was formed in 1990 at George Mason University.
The band's name is a misspelled reference to Emmett Till, who died after being shot and thrown into a river. "The idea of the name was basically that a 14-year-old boy should be swimming in the river, not dying in it," said singer/founder Todd Watts.
"Emmet Swimming" is also the name of an early song the band wrote. The band recently sold out (1,200 tickets) their performance at the 930 Club celebrating their 30th show at the club which puts them in the top 7 of bands that have ever played there.

They are known for their extensive touring. Regularly sold-out performances at the Fairfax live-music staples Planet NOVA, TT Reynolds and Fat Tuesday's drew major record label attention culminating in a deal with Epic/Sony and the band continuously toured for over seven years, performing 200–300 shows per year. They played on the 1998 H.O.R.D.E. tour, and have also played and toured with Dave Matthews Band and Barenaked Ladies, and Charlotte NC band Galaxy Girl.

They still regularly play venues such as the 9:30 Club (including a show there in the summer of 2018 that sold out in 2 days) in Washington, DC and the Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, VA.  They have a large following of loyal fans who pack the house for their shows.  The band has sold over 250,000 albums and has been nominated for 14 Washington Area Music Awards (WAMMIES).

Republican Association of New Zealand

The Republican Association of New Zealand (NZRA) was a political organisation in New Zealand with the aim of supporting the creation of a New Zealand republic.

History
The Association was founded by left-wing activist Bruce Jesson in 1966, and gained wide publicity for its anti-royal activism, including the burning of the Union Flag and protesting during Royal visits. When the Governor-General Bernard Fergusson was awarded an honorary degree later in 1966 by the University of Canterbury, the NZRA and around 400 supporters tried to block Worcester Street (which was on the Governor-General's route to the university), chanting "We object to the honorary degree, the honorary degree" to the tune of The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Around 200 students counter-protested with a banner reading "We Love the Gov".

In 1967, Jesson moved the Association to Auckland and founded the original Republican Party of New Zealand.
