Catholic Church in Libya

The Catholic Church in Libya is part of the worldwide Catholic Church (particularly the Latin Church), under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.

Characteristics
Among the Catholics are Italian Libyans and Maltese Libyans. Thousands of Filipino Catholic nurses moved to Libya during the 1980s and 1990s. The Italians were the majority of the Catholics in Libya until their expulsion in 1969 by Colonel Gaddafi.

There are no dioceses in Libya, but there are four territorial jurisdictions - three Apostolic Administrations and one Apostolic Prefecture.

Apostolic Vicariate of Benghazi
Apostolic Vicariate of Derna
Apostolic Vicariate of Tripoli
Apostolic Prefecture of Misrata

History

Christianity has been present in Libya since Roman times. Saint Francis of Assisi brought his faith to Tripoli in the Middle Ages.

The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Our Lady of the Angels) in the Old City - Medina of Tripoli was founded in 1645 and, with the permission of the Sultan of Constantinople, the Church of the Immaculate Conception was founded in Benghazi in 1858.

Before World War II the number of Catholics increased in Libya due to its status as an Italian colony, but the Catholic Cathedral of Tripoli (built in the 1920s) was converted to a mosque in the 1990s by Muammar Gaddafi's regime. The other Catholic cathedral in Libya, the Benghazi Cathedral is under renovation as a stock exchange.

21st century
The Catholic population in Libya was estimated to number 100,000 in 2012 many of them are mostly of Italian and Maltese ancestry. In 2017 there were only 300 Catholics in Libya. In 2023, it is believed that there are less than 20,500 Catholics in the country.

There are two Catholic churches in Libya, the Church of San Francesco in Tripoli (led until 2017 by Giovanni Innocenzo Martinelli) and the Maria Immacolata Parish Church in Benghazi, both of which are led by Franciscan priests from the Province of St. Paul the Apostle (Malta). Each church is made up of "personal parishes" based on language, with each personal parish assigned its own priest.

In the same year, there were 177 priests and 275 nuns serving across 48 parishes.

Dioceses

There are seven dioceses in Mali; six are Roman Rite and one belongs to the Maronite Church.
 Archdiocese of Bamako
 Diocese of Kayes
 Diocese of Mopti
 Diocese of San

Gimcrack

Gimcrack (1760 – after 1777) was an English thoroughbred racehorse.

Background
Gimcrack was a small gray Thoroughbred, standing at  and sired by Cripple, a son of the Godolphin Arabian; his dam, Miss Elliot, was by (Grisewood's) Partner. Lady Sarah Lennox wrote of Gimcrack in a letter dated to 12 July 1765:

Racing career
Despite his small stature, Gimcrack was widely successful, winning 27 of his 36 races in a turf career spanning 7 seasons. His ownership changed hands a few times, being owned by Frederick St John, 2nd Viscount Bolingbroke before being resold to Sir Charles Bunbury, 6th Baronet, who owned Gimcrack from 1768 to 1769. He was resold again to Richard Grosvenor, 1st Earl Grosvenor, as Bunbury was unhappy with Gimcrack's racing performance later in his career.

Gimcrack won his last race in 1771, at age 11, and he retired to the Grosvenor stud.

Stud record
Gimcrack sired the handy grey horse, Grey Robin who defeated Pot-8-os. His bloodline was more notable though in US horse racing than in Britain, via his son, Medley.

After his death he was buried at Haughton Hall in Shifnal, Shropshire. A brick and stone pillar marks his grave to the west of the old walled garden.

Legacy
Gimcrack is best known from the paintings of George Stubbs.

The Gimcrack Club, in York was founded in 1766 in his honour, and the Gimcrack Stakes, also at York, is therefore also named after the horse.

Puelo Lake

Lake Puelo () is a lake located in the northern part of Chubut Province, in Argentine Patagonia. Of fluvial-glacial origin, its deepest point is 180 meters. The narrow L-shaped lake is surrounded by Lago Puelo National Park.  

The lake is fed by the small rivers, Azul and Quemquemtreu. The outflow from Puelo Lake is the Puelo River which flows to the Pacific Ocean through Chile.  The river emerges from the lake at the border with Chile, flows through a narrow turbulent passage called Arroyo los Hitos about  long and into Lake Puelo Inferior (Lower Puelo Lake), entirely in Chile.   

The lake is surrounded by typical Valdivian temperate rain forests, more typical of the maritime-influenced area of Chile rather than the eastern side of the Andes in Argentina.

The term Puelo seems to have its origin in the Mapuche expression puel-có, (puel = east, co = water) meaning something like "Water at the East", as it was located in the easterly part of the area occupied by the indigenous Mapuche people.   

The town of Lago Puelo is located in the narrow valley of the Azul River about  north of the lake. Tourism is the principal industry of the town and area.

Accounting Principles Board

The Accounting Principles Board (APB) is the former authoritative body of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It was created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in 1959 and issued pronouncements on accounting principles until 1973, when it was replaced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

The APB was disbanded in the hopes that the smaller, fully independent FASB could more effectively create accounting standards. The APB and the related Securities Exchange Commission were unable to operate completely independently of the U.S. government. According to the SEC, "the overall record of the APB was a reasonably good one, but it seems likely that a smaller full-time body directly in control of its research holds promise of more success".  Among others, Abraham Briloff was critical of some actions of the Accounting Principles Board.  In response to APB 17, Briloff referred to the APB as the "Accounting Pragmatics Board".

Of the 31 APB opinions and 4 statements, several were instrumental in improving the theory and practice of significant areas of accounting. Many have been superseded by FASB pronouncements; 19 opinions still stand as part of generally accepted accounting principles:

7 Park Avenue

7 Park Avenue is the first of four posthumous CD releases of demo material recorded by Badfinger's Pete Ham. The recordings are taken from various eras, beginning with compositions he wrote during his years with The Iveys from 1967 to 1969, and running throughout his tenure with Badfinger, ending with his death in 1975.
The majority of these recordings were made on The Iveys' Sound-On-Sound Revox mono tape machine. Many of the songs highlight Ham playing all the instruments. However, session musicians occasionally augment some of the tracks, most notably former Badfinger member Bob Jackson and former Iveys member, Ron Griffiths. All of the vocals and guitar licks are Ham's original performances.

A follow-up disc of Ham demo material, Golders Green, was released two years after this release.

7 Park Avenue was the address of Badfinger's band residence in Golders Green.  Golders Green is a suburb of London, England, probably most known for the Golders Green Crematorium which is the final resting place for many famous Britons including The Who drummer Keith Moon, famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, and comedic actor Peter Sellers, star of the 1960s Pink Panther movies.

The following track listing represents the US and UK issues. The Japanese CD issue contains five bonus tracks here. In addition, the Japanese edition was remastered for its second pressing in 1999.

Jeffrey Brown (politician)

Jeffrey "Jeff" Brown is a former Republican state assemblyman in New York. He represented suburban areas around Syracuse.

Brown was first elected to the Assembly in 2002, succeeding his father, former Assemblyman Harold Brown. An attorney, Brown worked in Congress and was the chief attorney for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in central New York State.

Brown serves as a captain in the 174th Fighter Wing at Hancock Field. He is currently the ranking minority member of the Assembly Veterans Affairs Committee.

Brown did not seek a third term in the Assembly in 2006.  He instead ran for the State Senate, challenging one term Democratic Sen. David Valesky, who unseated Nancy Larraine Hoffmann, in what was expected to be one of the hottest races in upstate New York.

In fact, New York State senate majority leader Joe Bruno invested over $800,000 in Brown's campaign to unseat Valesky. 

Despite being outspent by a wide margin, Valesky defeated Brown by about 59 percent to 41 percent. Bruno attributed the result to a general landslide for New York Democrats in 2006.

Hoy por hoy

Hoy por hoy is a Spanish radio program, produced by the news department of the Cadena SER. It is the most listened-to radio program in Spain with an average of about three and a half million listeners a day and is considered the most listened-to program in Spanish radio history. Directed and presented by the journalist Àngels Barceló, the program is broadcast from Monday to Friday, from 5:59 am to 12:19 pm, with the later 101 minutes (until 2 pm) dedicated to local opt-out broadcast from local studios. The program, on news and current affairs, spends the first 4 hours reviewing Spanish and international general information, especially political matters. It features live interviews with the most relevant figures of the day, including the main political leaders and leaders of government. The last two hours and nineteen minutes of the program are more relaxed with sections on different themes, and humour.

Hoy por Hoy began broadcasting on 22 September 1986, directed and presented by Iñaki Gabilondo who stayed until 2005. During its first years on the air it was rivalled by Protagonistas, which was then the leading morning program on Spanish radio. In the mid-1990s Hoy por hoy gained the highest listenership figures of more than three million a day. Today it is the most listened-to radio program in Spain.

On 30 August 2005 Gabilondo left the program to take charge of the evening news program of the new television network Cuatro, belonging to the same media group as Cadena SER, the Grupo Prisa. Cadena SER replaced Gabilondo with Carles Francino, who presented and directed Hoy por hoy from 19 September 2005 to June 2012.

Joe Jackson Sr.

Joe Jackson Sr. (born Joseph Francis Jiranek; 1873–1942) was an Austrian cycling champion and a member of a world champion bicycle polo team before he became an entertainer.

Born in Vienna, Jackson became a champion racing cyclist at an early age. Later he became a trick bicycle rider and traveled over much of Europe. While appearing at the Crystal Palace in London, the handlebars of his bicycle came off.  He waved the handlebars wildly as a gesture of despair. The laughs from the audience brought down the house and it gave Jackson the idea for his famous act. From then on he was a comedian. In all his years on the stage, Jackson did his act in pantomime.  Preferring intimate settings, Jackson worked almost exclusively in vaudeville and European one-ring circuses. His act took him to England, Europe, Russia, Siberia, Turkey, and the United States.  During the New York World's Fair, he appeared in the American Jubilee.  Shortly afterward, he opened a restaurant and resort in Bellvale, Greenwood Lake New York, where he made his home. In his late years he devoted most of his time to managing his eatery, making only infrequent stage appearances, mostly in New York, when he felt like it.  He was also a capable magician.

He encouraged his son to take over the act.  Junior did the exact routine with every gesture exactly as done by his father. During a recent (to that time) run at the Music Hall, Junior substituted for his father for one performance and nobody knew the difference.  Junior carried on the act in Los Angeles with the Ice Capades.

Following a performance at New York City's Roxy Theater, on May 16, 1942, he took five curtain calls; he turned to Buck Wheeler, the Roxy stage manager, and said "They're still applauding."  Then he walked over to the backstage elevator and, while applause was still being heard, died of a heart attack. He was inducted into The International Clown Hall of Fame in 1994.

He was married to Maria 'Rialto' Truccot Prols, a former singer, who ran Mother Rialto's tavern in Bellvale, New York with him and their later daughter-in-law.

Cami Lake

Fagnano Lake (), also called Lake Cami (), is a lake located on the main island of the  Tierra del Fuego archipelago, and shared by Argentina and Chile. The 645 km2 lake runs east–west for about 98 kilometres, of which 72.5 km (606 km2) belong to the Argentine Tierra del Fuego Province, and only 13.5 km (39 km2) belong to the Chilean Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region. It has a maximum depth of 449 meters. The southern bank is steep compared to the northern, and expands in a considerably wide and flat piedmont from which both levels of the plateaus can be appreciated. From its western end, the Azopardo River drains towards the Almirantazgo Fjord.  On its eastern end is the town of Tolhuin. The lake is located in a pull-apart basin developed along the Magallanes–Fagnano Fault zone.

According to a Selk'nam myth the lake was created alongside the Strait of Magellan and Beagle Channel in places where slingshots fell on earth during Taiyín's fight with a witch who was said to have "retained the waters and the foods".

RedBerry

RedBerry is BlackBerry's competitor in China. Like the Research in Motion (RIM) technology, it also features push e-mail service through a low-cost RedBerry package.

Background 
RedBerry was launched by China Unicom, a state-run telecommunications company and the second largest in China. It was announced to counter the announced entry of RIM's (Research In Motion) wireless email device in China in 2006. RedBerry's introduction immediately acknowledged that it is an imitation of BlackBerry, citing that it is the most successful application of push-email service. In a statement, China Unicom said that the "RedBerry name extends the vivid name of Blackberry that people are already familiar with" while adding that the branding also integrated the red symbol of China Unicom. 

Upon launch, RedBerry devices were sold for less than a dollar a month (5 renminbi/$0.62) per month and charged 0.30 renminbi for each email sent. Incoming emails were free. During this period, BlackBerry users in Hong Kong paid $64 for unlimited email monthly.

Green River Ordinance

A Green River Ordinance is a common United States city ordinance prohibiting door-to-door solicitation.  Under such an ordinance, it is illegal for any business to sell their items door-to-door without express prior permission from the household.  Some versions prohibit all organizations, including non-profit charitable, political, and religious groups, from soliciting or canvassing any household that makes it clear, in writing, that it does not want such solicitations (generally with a "No Trespassing" or "No Solicitations" sign posted).

The ordinance is named for the city of Green River, Wyoming, which in 1931 was the first city to enact it.  The ordinance was unsuccessfully challenged on constitutional grounds by the Fuller Brush Company in 1932.

Sistema Ox Bel Ha

Sistema Ox Bel Ha (, ; short Ox Bel Ha) is a cave system in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is the longest explored underwater cave in the world and ranks second including dry caves. As of January 2023 the surveyed length is  of underwater passages. There are more than 150 cenotes in the system.

Discoveries
The Naranjal subsystem is part of Sistema Ox Bel Ha. Three prehistoric human remains have been found within the subsystem. The Jailhouse cenote, or Las Palmas, is the entrance to the locations of the Muknal and Las Palmas caves. The skeleton of an 18 to 20-year-old woman, Eve of Naharon, (13,454±117 cal BP) was discovered at a location around  away from the Jailhouse cenote entrance. The skeleton of a 44 to 50-year-old woman,  (8,937±203 cal BP) was found at a location around  away from the Jailhouse cenote entrance. The Muknal cave, part of the Naranjal subsystem, contained the remains of a 40 to 50-year-old man, the Muknal Grandfather (9,600 cal BP). Unlike the other two skeletons in the subsystem, the Muknal Grandfather shows evidence of secondary burial. Analysis of these skeletons suggests that Ox Bel Ha was likely used as an important site for ritual burial. 

A new genus and species of extinct peccary, Muknalia minima, was identified from a fossil mandible found in the Muknal cave of the Ox Bel Ha system. However, it was subsequently recognised that this was a junior synonym of the collared peccary.

Malahide Community School

Malahide Community School (MCS; ) is a co-educational secondary school located in Malahide, County Dublin, Ireland. It accepts pupils of all religious denominations. The school grew from 512 students in 1976 to 1200 students by 2006, and remained at around 1200 as of 2018.

History

Foundation
In the early 1950s, Catherine Dowling set up the Stella Maris School in Malahide village. In 1958, the Infant Jesus Sisters founded Scoil Íosa, a junior and secondary school for girls, on what are now the grounds of Malahide Community School. The two schools were amalgamated.

In 1976, the school joined the community school system which meant that it was no longer private, and it was renamed Pobalscoil Íosa. The school population at that time was just over 500. A new building, now known as the Junior Block, was added, followed shortly afterward by a sports hall.

New building
A three-storey school building, planned in 2005 for a November 2006 opening, was affected by multiple delays, and finally opened in February 2007. The first part of the demolition was started in March 2006, and was completed before the Leaving Certificate that took place in early June. The grand opening of the new building took place on 5 October with the Minister for Education and Science, Mary Hanafin. Over the summer of 2008, the canteen facility was planned to be operational and in use for the new school year, and was actually working by the latter half of that year. The school had, by then, over 1100 pupils.

Flag of Cleveland

The municipal flag of Cleveland serves as the representative banner of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The flag was designed by local art school graduate Susan Hepburn, and was officially adopted as the municipal banner by Cleveland City Council on October 21, 1895, with the ordinance on the flag adopted on February 24, 1896.

History 
The idea for a Cleveland flag was first proposed by New York journalist Julian Ralph in an interview at the Hollenden Hotel with Plain Dealer reporter William Stokely Lloydon on April 24, 1895. Elaborating on the idea, Ralph stated:

The proposal was positively received by both city leaders and the public, and it sparked a contest to design a new flag in advance of the city's centenary sponsored by The Plain Dealer. The selection committee was chaired by Ohio artist Archibald Willard. More than two dozen entries were submitted, including proposals with municipal seals featuring the Columbia-like goddess of liberty in classical Greek dress accompanied by Latin mottos.

The contest winner was Susan Hepburn, an 18-year-old art school graduate and a descendant of settlers of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The selection committee praised her design for its "power and simplicity." Robert Beach, the Plain Dealer reporter who delivered the prize to Hepburn, later became her husband.

On October 21, the flag was approved by Cleveland City Council. The city's flag committee later resolved to add a municipal motto to the design on October 25. Although the Latin motto "Major et Melior" (Greater and Better) was originally favored by city leaders, Mayor Robert McKisson instead advocated the English motto "Unity and Progress", which eventually became "Progress and Prosperity".

Some Clevelanders opposed the adoption of any municipal flag, fearing that it would compete with the flag of the United States. Despite these objections, an ordinance was put in place on the banner on February 24, 1896, the year in which Cleveland celebrated its centennial. The adoption of the Cleveland flag inspired Cincinnati to adopt a flag of its own.

Design and symbolism 
Cleveland's municipal charter, adopted in 1913, describes the flag as follows:

Both the colors and the use of the American shield represent patriotism. 1796 is the year in which Cleveland was founded by General Moses Cleaveland. The anvil, hammer, and wheel represent industry and manufacturing, while the anchor, windlass (alternatively, capstan), and oars represent the city's status as a major port on the Great Lakes. The municipal motto, "Progress and Prosperity", refers to the rapid growth that Cleveland experienced in the period of the flag's adoption.
