Kitty Winn

Katherine Tupper "Kitty" Winn (born February 21, 1943) is an American actress. She is best known for her roles as the heroin addict Helen in the romantic drama The Panic in Needle Park (1971), for which she won the Best Actress award at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival, and her recurring role of Sharon Spencer in the horror film franchise The Exorcist.

Early life
Kitty Winn was born on February 21, 1943, in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Army officer James J. Winn and Molly Pender Brown Winn. She had one brother. Winn traveled widely during much of her childhood, having spent time in the United States, England, Germany, China, India, and Japan. Her mother is the stepdaughter of U.S. General of the Army, former US Secretary of State, and former US Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall and daughter of Katherine Tupper Marshall.

Career
Winn's career has spanned a wide range of dramatic productions on stage, in motion pictures and on television. She studied acting at Centenary Junior College and Boston University, graduating from the latter in 1966. During her college years Winn acted in student productions at Centenary Junior College, Boston University, and Harvard College and summer stock for two summers at The Priscilla Beach Theatre, south of Boston. Shortly after college she joined the company at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, where she remained for four years under the artistic direction of William Ball.

In the fall of 1970 Winn left American Conservatory Theater to star opposite Al Pacino in the film The Panic in Needle Park, for which she won the Best Actress award at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival. Although she went on to do several more films, including They Might Be Giants (1971) and The Exorcist (1973), she spent most of her career in theater.

She played Cordelia in The Tragedy of King Lear for KCET in 1983, and soon retired from acting. She did not return to the stage again until 2011, when she played the lead in The Last Romance at the San Jose Repertory Theatre. For this performance, she was nominated for a best actress award by the San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle.

Carlos Hall

Carlos DeShaun Hall (born January 16, 1979) is a former American football defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He also played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. He played college football at Arkansas.

College career
Hall started 32 of 41 career games at the University of Arkansas, where he was named honorable mention All-American by Street & Smith and second-team All-SEC by the Associated Press as senior, recording 49 tackles, five tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one sack. 

During his freshman season in 1998, Hall helped Arkansas finish 9-3 and win a share of the SEC West Division championship. As a sophomore in 1999, he helped the Razorbacks beat Texas in the 2000 Cotton Bowl Classic. His junior year in 2000, Arkansas beat ranked conference foes Mississippi State and LSU in consecutive weeks to gain bowl eligibility. His senior season would end at the Cotton Bowl as well, but Arkansas lost to Oklahoma in a hard-fought defensive game, 10-3. 

Hall is best known for blocking a field goal attempt by the #9 South Carolina Gamecocks during his senior year. The game was played at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, AR on October 13, 2001. Arkansas was leading 10-7 with 53 seconds left in the fourth quarter, when Gamecock head coach Lou Holtz called for a field goal attempt on fourth down to tie the game and send it to overtime. As the ball was snapped, Hall leapt at the line of scrimmage and blocked the kick with both hands. Arkansas recovered the ball and ran the clock out for the victory. It was South Carolina's first loss of the season.

Personal life
His son Keiondre Hall is a defensive end at  Pittsburg State University.

Control zone

In aviation, a control zone (CTR) is a volume of controlled airspace, usually situated below a control area, normally around an airport, which extends from the surface to a specified upper limit, established to protect air traffic operating to and from that airport. Because CTRs are, by definition, controlled airspace, aircraft can only fly in it after receiving a specific clearance from air traffic control. This means that air traffic control at the airport know exactly which aircraft are in that airspace, and can take steps to ensure aircraft are aware of each other, either using separation or by passing traffic information.

In the USA the term control zone is no longer used and has been replaced by airspace class D. Typically it extends 5 miles in diameter with a height of 2500 ft AGL (above ground level) around small commercial airports. Aircraft are required to establish radio contact with the control tower before entering and to maintain in contact while in class D airspace. This implies that an aircraft must be equipped with at least a portable radio to fly in Class D airspace.

In the UK, control zones are normally class D airspace and usually extend from the surface to 2000 ft AGL. They can be observed to be usually rectangular, extending along the axis of the main runway, although irregular shapes may be used where more complex airspace dictates this (see Liverpool and East Midlands). A control area (CTA) is often placed between a CTR and nearby airways to give uninterrupted controlled airspace to airways arrivals and departures.

In Germany, control zones are a special type of class D airspace, called D (CTR). The main difference to the regular German class D airspace is, that within a CTR there is a minimum required cloud ceiling of 1500 ft AGL.

Altars in Latin America

The history of altars in Latin America is complex. From its original purpose for the worshipping of gods and human sacrifice, the altar transitioned from being a symbol of non-Christian worship to a worldwide symbol of Christianity.

History
In Mesoamerica, altars positioned on top of temples were used for human sacrifice and animal sacrifice to appease the gods and allow for a fruitful crop. A special altar to the sun was used for sacrifices in coronation rites, signifying the importance of the god. The east-west path of the sun determined the principal ritual axis in the design of Aztec cities. Thus the altar held great importance in determining the design of the city. 

One of the most explicit visual depictions of ritual associated with an altar is evident in an altar unearthed in the ruins of El Cayo. This altar, commonly referred to as "Altar 4" portrays a man seated before a table altar, scattering grains of incense. In the carved image, the altar supports an incense burner as well. This imagery is associated with underworld deities and rites of fire starting. Altar 4 also communicates the sense of the altar as the site of an assemblage of offerings and ritual items: the incense burner contains kindling sticks, as well as an arrangement of feathers all clustered around a cloth bundle. According to many archaeologists, "the altar is seen as a locus of a piling on of ritual goods is a constant theme in the programs of iconographic decoration worked into Maya pedestals and table altars."

One of the other purposes of the altar is to honor the dead. On Todos Santos, or All Saints Day, people welcome back the souls of their departed loved ones by offering altars or ofrendas, commemorating them. These altars include pictures of the deceased, food they enjoyed in life, statues of the Virgin Mary, pictures of saints, marigolds, paper cut-out figurines of skulls, and many other items. Some of the altars are as high as 10-12 feet, while others are significantly smaller. They are covered in white satin or plastic, which could be representative of a shroud.

Despite the altar's origins, it was later adopted as a symbol of Christianity.

Marko Hranilović

Marko Hranilović (11 December 1908 – 25 September 1931) was a Croatian nationalist and Secretary of the right-wing separatist Croatian Rights Youth (, HPO) in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which had been banned in 1929. He was executed in 1931 after being convicted of the murder of Toni Šlegel, a journalist. Also involved in the murder were Stjepan Javor, Matija Soldin, Zvonimir Pospišil, and Mijo Babić.

Hranilović was implicated in the murder after the arrest of Stjepan Javor, head of the HPO, on 31 October 1929. The HPO was accused of being a terrorist organization and Hranilović was charged with the murder of journalist Šlegel, along with Javor and Soldin. During the trial, the HPO was accused of associating with the nationalist exiles Ante Pavelić and Gustav Perčec. Hranilović vehemently denied any contact with these figures, and proved to be one of the most combative in court. He pleaded not guilty to all charges. He sparred with the court several times, including one instance where he called himself a "citizen of imprisoned Croatia".

Vladko Maček and Mile Budak served as attorneys for the defence. Maček, as leader of the Croatian Peasant Party, was essentially the leader of the Croats within the kingdom at this time. Despite the defence's best efforts, Hranilović and Soldin were both sentenced to death by hanging. They were executed on 25 September 1931 on Petrinja Street, Zagreb. Javor was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He died in prison in 1936.

Shelby County Airport (Illinois)

Shelby County Airport  is a public airport located three miles (4.8 km) west of the central business district (CBD) of Shelbyville, a city in Shelby County, Illinois, United States. A significant amount of the airport's traffic is from agricultural aviation serving nearby areas.

Facilities and aircraft 
Shelby County Airport covers  and has three runways:

 Runway 18/36: 4,098 x 75 ft. (1,249 x 23 m); surface: asphalt
 Runway 14/32: 2336 x 180 ft. (712 x 55 m); surface: turf
 Runway 4/22: 1446 x 180 ft. (441 x 55 m); surface: turf

There is one FBO at the airport. It offers self-service fuel as well as a lounge and courtesy car.

For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2022, the airport averages 44 aircraft operations per day, or about 16,000 per year. This is 97% general aviation and 3% military. For the same time period, there are 21 aircraft based on the field, all single-engine airplanes.

Accidents & Incidents
On April 1, 2000, an Aerotek PITTS S-2A crashed while attempting to land on 2H0's runway 14. The aircraft impacted a golf cart applying weed killer near the airport. The gold cart driver received fatal injuries. The probable cause of the crash was the pilot's improper touchdown point and runway alignment, with contributing factors including insufficient gold cart markings and the fact that the golf cart was not equipped with a radio. Additional factors include the fact that airport personnel neglected to issue NOTAMs to notify pilots that maintenance was ongoing.
On April 21, 2010, an experimental Murray Starlite aircraft was substantially damaged while landing at the Shelbyville Airport. The left main tire “locked up” and the airplane veered to the left. The pilot applied full right rudder and aileron, but the airplane continued to veer off the left side of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage when it entered a plowed field, which caused the main landing gear to collapse and the left main tire to go through the left wing. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the corrosion of the left landing gear rotor and brake, which resulted in the loss of directional control during the landing rollout, and the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection.

Lucifer (Bob Seger song)

"Lucifer" is a song written by Bob Seger featured on the album Mongrel.  It reached #84 on the Pop Singles chart in 1970.  Many Seger fans consider this to be one of Seger's best.  Ben Edmonds, in his review of Mongrel, called "Lucifer" "easily the strongest cut on the record, and a great song in its own right. It's simple, straightforward rock: the band (especially the organ) shows a clear comprehension of the song's rhythmical movement."  The Bob Seger System performed this song on the TV show Upbeat, which was a syndication of musical performances taped at the WEWS studios in Cleveland, Ohio, with host Don Webster. In 2009, a clip of the song was used in the sixth-season finale of Entourage, episode "Give a Little Bit." In 2021, "Lucifer" was covered by Deep Purple, on their album, Turning to Crime.

Writing
According to the "Lost Venues - Detroit" Website, December, 1968 the Bob Seger System played at the teen nightclub Something Different in Southfield, Michigan—one of many metropolitan Detroit teen nightclubs the band's manager, Punch Andrews operated.  March 21 and 22, 1969 Albert King played at the same venue.  April, 1969 the Bob Seger System released Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.  June 7, 1969 the Bob Seger System returned to Something Different.  August, 1970 the album Mongrel was released, which included "Lucifer".  Besides making a reference to Albert King's "Crosscut Saw" from 1966, Seger refers back to the Ramblin' Gamblin' Man album multiple times:
"Ramblin', Gamblin', Lovin', Shovin'"
"Lucy Blue, Chicago Green, I'll love 'em 'til they thaw" 
Lucy Blue and Chicago Green are both characters who appear on RGM.  Lucy Blue is seen in "Tales of Lucy Blue," and Chicago Green appears in "Down Home".  
Rather than be an ode to darkness, the song "Lucifer" is a defense.  Bob is defending himself (and possibly the band) against those who would disparage him (and his hard-driving musical style) with such a harsh nickname: "You can call me 'Lucifer' if you think you should [but] I know I'm [a] good [musician (and person)]."

Reception
Cash Box called it "one of [Seger's] live appearance favorites filled with a driving rhythm and searing vocal."

Heironimus

S.H. Heironimus Co. (also known as Heironimus) was an American department store chain based in Roanoke, Virginia. S.H. Heironimus opened his first store in downtown Roanoke in 1890. At its peak, Heironimus had several locations around Roanoke and Lynchburg. In 1993, Heironimus was acquired by the Texas-based retailer Dunlaps, which initially invested in improving the stores' inventory and appearance. In January 1996, the chain's flagship store in Downtown Roanoke was closed but locations in area malls remained open.

The chain occupied the increasingly untenable niche between discount stores like Wal-Mart and the variety and more upscale merchandise available at regional malls. In 2004, Dunlaps announced that the remaining Heironimus stores would close as their inventory was liquidated. The Spartan Square location in Salem was the last to remain open before closing in January 2005.

The S.H. Heironimus Warehouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

A description of being employed by the Heironimus store is written by Sandy Painter Hamilton. "Our employees were ethical, moral, hard working, religious people who treated our "family" of fellow employees with respect and dignity."

History
The Southport & Cheshire Lines Extension Railway was authorised by two Acts of Parliament, 11 August 1881 and 18 August 1882, the first authorising the line as far as Birkdale and the second the remaining section to Southport Lord Street. It was promoted by the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) and was a natural extension of their North Liverpool Extension Line to Southport.

Passenger services ended 7 January 1952 and goods six months later. The line remained in intermittent use from Aintree to Altcar and Hillhouse to provide access to private sidings until May 1960, when the line was finally lifted.

The route today
The trackbed forms part of National Cycle Network Route 62, the Trans Pennine Trail. From Woodvale northwards the trail is joined by the Southport Coastal Road.

In January 2019, the Campaign for Better Transport released a report identifying the line which was listed as Priority 2 for reopening. Priority 2 is for those lines which require further development or a change in circumstances (such as housing developments).

John M. Riggs

John M. Riggs (born December 2, 1946) is a retired United States Army general. He was retired in 2005. He had attained the rank of lieutenant general, but was retired with the loss of one star, at the rank of major general. According to the army, this was because of misuse of contractors, but some of Riggs' supporters argued that the retirement and demotion was a result of his contradiction of the United States government stance on troop strength needed to support the actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Education
Born in Kennett, Missouri, Riggs is a 1964 graduate of Caruthersville High School in Caruthersville, Missouri. Riggs earned Bachelor of Arts in political science from Tarkio College and a Master of Arts in personnel management and administration from Central Michigan University. In addition, Riggs completed a National Security Fellowship at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

Military career
He enlisted in the United States Army in 1965. Commissioned a second lieutenant in 1969, he graduated from the Infantry Officers Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia. He served a combat tour in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Riggs commanded at company, battalion, brigade, division, and army levels, serving in Vietnam, Germany, Korea, Belgium and numerous assignments throughout the United States. He commanded the 19th Aviation Battalion and the 17th Aviation Brigade in Korea. Later assignments were as Assistant Division Commander for the 3rd Infantry Division in Germany; Deputy Commanding General United States Army Aviation School, Fort Rucker, Alabama; Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff Operations and Plans, Washington, DC; and Commanding General 7th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colorado.

Retirement
In 2006, Riggs, along with a number of other retired senior United States military officials—Lieutenant General Gregory S. Newbold (USMC), Major General Paul Eaton (Army), and General Anthony Zinni (USMC)—called for the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld over his handling of the Iraq War. In an interview with NPR's Michele Norris, Riggs said, "I think he should step aside and let someone step in who can be more realistic."

.378 Weatherby Magnum

The .378 Weatherby Magnum was designed by Roy Weatherby in 1953. It was an original belted magnum design with no parent case, inspired by the .416 Rigby and headspacing of the belted .375 H&H Magnum. The 215 magnum rifle primer was developed by Federal specifically for this round. The cartridge can hold upwards of 7.13 g (120 gr) of powder. The 378 Weatherby Magnum cartridge also has the double radius shoulder design found on the first and smaller proprietary line of Weatherby magnum cartridges.

The motivation behind the development of the .378 came from the disappointing performance gains of the improved .375 Weatherby Magnum over its parent case, the .375 H&H Magnum. Roy Weatherby in 1953 killed an African elephant with one shot while on safari. However, in using this event as a marketing tool, it was revealed some African countries have a minimum 10.16 mm (.40 caliber) bullet size for hunting dangerous game. Weatherby responded by necking up the .378 to 11.63 mm (.458 caliber) and called the new cartridge the .460 Weatherby Magnum, which was introduced in 1958.

Considered a safari-grade cartridge, the .378 Weatherby Magnum is appropriate for taking all African game animals from large African antelopes, Nile crocodile, hippopotamus, to the Big Five game. Some hunters on the North American continent employ the .378 for American elk, brown bears, and polar bear.

The .378 Weatherby will generate considerable free recoil, an average of 104 J (77 ft·lbf) from a 4.1 kg (9 lb) rifle. This compares to 27 J (20 ft·lbf) from a rifle chambered for .30-06 Springfield or 49 J (36 ft·lbf) for the .375 H&H Magnum. The traditional stock used on the Weatherby Mark V tends to accentuate felt recoil.

The .378 has been responsible for numerous wildcat cartridges, being necked-down as the .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer and necked-up as the .500 A-Square. Some of the .378 Weatherby Magnum wildcat cartridges are shortened versions, like the .30-378 Arch (7.62 mm) and the .460 Short A-Square (11.63 mm). Some .378-based wildcats have gone on to be part of the Weatherby line: .30-378, .338-378, .416 and .460. In addition, the .378 WM is used as the parent case for the .460 Weatherby Magnum.

BMW K1200R

The BMW K1200R is a naked supersport motorcycle manufactured between 2005 and 2008 by BMW Motorrad, producing a claimed  @ 10,250 rpm from its transverse-mounted 1,157 cc inline-four engine with torque of  @ 8,250 rpm. Acceleration to  from a standing start is claimed to be 2.6 seconds.

The cylinder block is canted toward the front wheel by 55 degrees to reduce the entire motorcycle's centre of gravity, allowing intake components to be placed above the engine, directly below the fuel tank. The optional electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) system allows the rider to electronically adjust for different road conditions and varying loads for an individualized riding style. A three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust is present to meet low emissions. As an option, the bike is available with ABS brakes.

In 2007, the K1200R Sport was launched, which is identical other than the addition of a small fairing.

At the time of launch, BMW Motorrad claimed that the K1200R was the world's most powerful naked bike. This was exceeded when Suzuki launched the  Suzuki B-King. British magazine RiDE tested the B-King and K1200R together and found that despite the extra power of the B-King, the K1200R was faster accelerating and had a  higher top speed.

At the end of 2008, the K1200R was replaced by the larger displacement K1300R, which features a 1,293 cc engine producing , torque of .

Both the K1200R and the K1300R are offered for sale in the US.

Gilles Gilbert

Gilles Gilbert (March 31, 1949 – August 6, 2023) was a Canadian professional goaltender in ice hockey who was drafted in the third round of the 1969 NHL Amateur Draft from the London Knights. He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Minnesota North Stars and Detroit Red Wings, but most notably for the Boston Bruins.

Playing career
Gilbert played in the 1961 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the junior Quebec Aces.

Gilbert played in the NHL between 1969 and 1983 and retired with a 3.27 goals against average.

In net for the Minnesota North Stars, he surrendered Jean Beliveau's 500th career goal on February 11, 1971.

In 1973-74, he was traded to the Bruins as a replacement for Gerry Cheevers who had gone to the World Hockey Association (WHA), played in the NHL All-Star Game, and helped the team to the Stanley Cup finals that year. The Bruins lost the Finals series 4-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers, but over these six games Gilbert played as brilliantly as his opposing counterpart Bernie Parent who was named playoff MVP.

In the 1975–76 NHL season, Gilbert set the NHL record for most consecutive wins by a goaltender with 17, and finished with a 33-8-10 record for a .843 winning percentage in 55 games.

From 1976 to 1980, he teamed with Gerry Cheevers to form one of the best goaltending duos in the NHL, being runners-up for the Vezina Trophy in 1980.

Gilbert recorded 17 playoff victories for Boston.  As of 2019 he ranks sixth in all-time playoff wins among Boston goaltenders.

Gilbert was the Bruins goalie during the 1979 Stanley Cup playoffs semifinal game 7 against the Montreal Canadiens, when Guy Lafleur tied the game after the infamous too many men penalty against Boston, and then Yvon Lambert scored the series-winning goal in overtime; Gilbert was still named the game's first star. Cheevers was benched after losing the first two games of the series, and Gilbert took over as the starter thereafter, overall being named the game's first star three times in the five games against Montreal. Montreal's Steve Shutt exclaimed of these performances that “Gilles Gilbert stood on his head. He was the reason they got to the seventh game”.

Gilbert was in net for Detroit on February 11, 1982, when the Vancouver Canucks became the first team with two successful penalty shots in the same game, as Thomas Gradin and Ivan Hlinka scored for the Canucks in the third period of a 4-4 tie.

Post Playing Career

Gilbert was a pro scout and goaltending coach for the New York Islanders from 1996 to 2001.

Later life and death
Gilles Gilbert latterly resided in Quebec City. He died on August 6, 2023, at the age of 74.
