David J. Brightbill

David J. "Chip" Brightbill (born November 3, 1943) is a former member and Majority Leader of the Pennsylvania State Senate. He is a member of the Republican Party.

He was born in Lebanon, Pennsylvania to Jonathan and Verda (McGill) Brightbill and attended Pennsylvania Military College for two years before graduating from Pennsylvania State University in 1964. He went on to obtain a law degree at Duquesne University School of Law in 1970. Prior to being elected to the Senate in 1982, he served as Lebanon County District Attorney from 1977 to 1981. He was elected Majority Whip in 1989 and 1997 by the Republican caucus and became the Majority Leader in 2001 after Senator Joseph Loeper resigned in December 2000.

Brightbill served the 48th district, including all of Lebanon County, portions of Berks, Dauphin, and Lancaster Counties, and the Chester County borough of Elverson.

He was named runner up for the 2003 Politician of the Year by the political website PoliticsPA, who noted his growing influence in the 2003 budget negotiations.

Brightbill was defeated in the May 2006 Republican primary election by tire salesman Mike Folmer, receiving 36.8% of the vote. Brightbill's defeat was largely attributed to anger generated over a legislative pay raise vote in July 2005.

At the end of his term, Brightbill joined the Reading law firm of Stevens & Lee in their government affairs practice. Prior to joining Stevens & Lee, Brightbill was a partner of Siegrist, Koller, Brightbill & Long for 30 years.

On May 19, 2007, he received an honorary doctorate degree from Elizabethtown College.

Lord of the Barnyard

Lord of the Barnyard is a novel by Tristan Egolf.

Plot synopsis
Somewhere in Kentucky, perhaps Indiana, we learn via third person narration about the life of John Kaltenbrunner.

Essentially we follow the life of John and his unimaginably bad luck, until he meets a group that is even worse off - garbage men whom the town considers the lowest of the low - and so John decides to do something about it and starts up a trash-collection strike with horrific consequences.

Critical reception
A review in The New York Times called the novel "both interesting and exciting without quite managing to be good." A review by Kirkus found that in the novel Egolf "too frequently fails to dramatize, indulging instead in lengthy (and, to be fair, frequently hilarious) summary jeremiads."

Publication
Lord of the Barnyard, Egolf's first novel, was rejected by over 50 publishers. It was finally accepted after Egolf befriended French novelist Patrick Modiano's daughter.

The novel was first published in a French translation by Gallimard in 1998 before being picked by Grove Press (US) and Picador (UK) who published the original English text.

Kings County Elevated Railway

The Kings County Elevated Railway Company (KCERy) was a builder and operator of elevated railway lines in Kings County, New York. Kings County is now coextensive with the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, but at the time the railway started, it consisted of several towns and the smaller independent city of Brooklyn. Its original services were operated with steam locomotives.

Corporate history
The KCERy was founded January 6, 1879, but did not open its first line for revenue service until 1888. The company was organized by Judge Hiram Bond and financed by a group of investors from Boston that included Moses Kimball and Willard T. Sears of the architectural firm Cummings and Sears, which had experience in designing stone railroad bridges and ramps. The company did surveys and design work and promoted the project. Due to the principals behind the project being from out of town, the project had difficulty getting fully licensed. The package of rights and designs were sold to New York City investors led by Gen. James Jourdan due to the lack of support for the Bostonians by local political leaders. Due to the persistence of Jourdan the project eventually got off the ground. The company directors besides Jourdan were Edward A. Abbott, Henry J. Davison, Harvey Farrington, Wendell Goodwin, Henry J. Robinson, James O. Sheldon and William A. Read. William A. Read was the financier whose company Read & Company later became Dillon, Read. On October 1, 1899, the Kings County Elevated Railroad (KCERR) became successor to the KCERy, and on May 24, 1900, the KCERR was merged into its competitor, the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad company, thus ending its separate corporate existence.

Fulton Street Line
The KCERy ran only one rapid transit mainline, the Fulton Street Elevated, beginning in 1888,  but it was one of the most lucrative in Brooklyn, operating from Fulton Ferry, through the heart of the downtown area, then through the center of the borough, and the communities of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville and East New York to City Line. In addition, the KCERy later acquired access to the tracks of the Brooklyn Bridge railroad to bring its trains to the Park Row terminal in New York City (Manhattan) opposite the New York City Hall.

Service on the Brighton Beach Line
In 1896, the KCERy built a short elevated line from Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street to connect to the tracks of the Brooklyn & Brighton Beach RR south of Atlantic Avenue, permitting KCERy elevated trains access to the communities of Crown Heights, Flatbush, Midwood, Homecrest, Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island at Brighton Beach.

George Molchan

George A. Molchan (June 5, 1922 – April 12, 2005) was an American spokesperson, most famous for his work as Little Oscar for the Oscar Mayer meat company.

Molchan grew up in the Gary, Indiana area; as a young boy, he received hormone treatments to try to make him grow taller.  His lack of height was a concern to him; a local theater manager who sympathized with his worries managed to contact Meinhardt Raabe, who was "Little Oscar", the spokesman for the Oscar Mayer company.  Raabe met with Molchan and assured him that if he continued his education, he would have a bright future ahead.

Molchan took his advice, earning both an accounting degree from his local junior college and a degree in communications from Chicago's Columbia College.  He went to work as a bookkeeper for Pepsi-Cola, staying with the job until 1951.  Oscar Mayer had plans to expand its promotion of the "Little Oscar" character. The company decided to put more than one Wienermobile on the road to travel the United States, which meant they were in need of more spokespersons to do the same work Raabe did.  Raabe contacted Molchan and suggested he apply for one of the positions.  Molchan was hired and was based in Chicago; the other additional Wienermobiles were based in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Madison, Wisconsin, the company's home.

He traveled the United States in his Wienermobile for 20 years, making appearances at parades, shopping centers and grocery stores.  At each appearance, Molchan gave away plastic "wiener whistles", which were shaped like a hot dog with the company's logo on them that whistled the Oscar Mayer tune when blown.  During many of these cross-country trips, he was accompanied by Stan and Denise Stanley, both of whom were responsible for various roles, ranging from driving the Wienermobile to distributing toys.  As a result of the Stanleys' efforts during the early 1980s, they were recognized during both the 1982 and 1983 year-end reports.  After the company phased out the Wienermobiles, Molchan remained on the job for them.  He relocated to Orlando, Florida for a job as "Little Oscar" in the Oscar Mayer restaurant at Disney World in the mid 1970s. Molchan worked at Disney for 16 years, retiring in 1987.  Upon his retirement, Oscar Mayer also retired the "Little Oscar" character that began with Meinhardt Raabe in 1936.

After retirement, Molchan did some part-time character work, but was always recognized as "Little Oscar". He eventually moved back to Indiana to be near family members.  When Molchan was buried in a Merrillville, Indiana cemetery on April 16, 2005, Oscar Mayer sent one of the Wienermobiles to the cemetery, where it was parked near his gravesite during the ceremonies.  Molchan's mourners also sang "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener", and followed it with wiener whistle toots of tribute.

Victoria Gillick

Victoria D. M. Gillick (née Gudgeon; born 1946, in Hendon) is a British activist and campaigner best known for the eponymous 1985 UK House of Lords ruling that considered whether contraception could be prescribed to under-16s without parental consent or knowledge. The ruling established the term "Gillick competence" to describe whether a young person below the age of 16 is able to consent to his or her own medical treatment, without the need for parental permission or knowledge.

A Roman Catholic mother of 10 children (five sons, five daughters), Gillick began her campaign in 1980 in response to a DHSS circular issuing guidance on contraceptive stating a minor could consent to treatment, and that in these circumstances a parent had no power to veto treatment.

In 2000, Gillick lost a libel action against the Brook Advisory Centres, which she claimed accused her of being "morally responsible" for a rise in teenage pregnancies. Costs of £4,298.15 were awarded against her. In 2002, however, she won an apology and damages amounting to £5,000 and costs.

Living in Wisbech, she is married to Cambridgeshire County Councillor and former UKIP councillor Gordon Gillick. One of their sons is the painter James Gillick.

Dapedium

Dapedium (from  , 'pavement') is an extinct genus of primitive neopterygian ray-finned fish. The first-described finding was an example of  D. politum, found in the Lower Lias of Lyme Regis, on the Jurassic Coast of England (Leach 1822). Dapedium lived in the late Triassic and Jurassic periods.

Appearance
The various species of Dapedium ranged from  long, and all had an oval to near-circular body. The skin was covered with thick, rhomboid, ganoid (enamel-like) scales. The smallest species so far found is D. noricum.

The skull was armoured with bony dermal plates, which were especially plentiful in the orbital region. These bones bore irregular tubercles. The small pectoral and pelvic fins, along with the extended dorsal and anal fins formed a functional unit with the tail. The tail was short and stout, providing the power for a sudden change in direction while the fish was swimming.

The upper jaw of Dapedium was moveable and could protrude from the mouth, enabling a wider gape to capture larger prey.

Distribution

Dapedium lived mostly in the Jurassic seas of Europe,  a peripheral continental shelf sea of the Tethys Ocean. Notable finds have been made in Holzmaden, Germany, in Temple Grafton, Warwickshire, England and in Lyme Regis, Dorset, England.

Behaviour
The strong and pointed dentition suggests that Dapedium was durophagous, feeding on hard-shelled invertebrates, like mussels and sea urchins.

Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu Association

The Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu Association, also known as WNGGA, was founded in 1929, after the first Cymanfa Ganu in North America was held on a field on Goat Island, located in the Niagara Reservation State Park in Niagara Falls, New York.  The Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu Association is responsible for overseeing the Cymanfaoedd Ganu held in North America.

History
The Gymanfa Ganu at Niagara Falls was the first National Gymanfa Ganu (Guh-mahn'-va Gahn'-ee) to be held in the United States.  Although exact estimates are unknown, it is believed that 3,000 were in attendance.  The Welsh Americans of Youngstown, Ohio are generally given the majority of credit for helping to perpetuate this movement. However, there were many others involved in the planning for the event. Delegations from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan, traveling by train and auto to Niagara Falls, were joined there by equally enthusiastic Welsh from Ontario.

After the success of the first Gymanfa Ganu, plans were already being made for another Gymanfa at Niagara Falls the following year.  An organizational structure was put into place with Will Lewis (Youngstown, Ohio) as President; Ellis Hughes (Niagara Falls, New York) as Vice President; Dave Lewis (Youngstown, Ohio) as Secretary; and W. B. Jones (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) as Treasurer.  This was the beginning of what has been known as the "Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu Association", renamed in 2011 to "Welsh North American Association" or WNAA.

This change was adopted at the September 3, 2011, Annual General Meeting of The Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu Association, in Cleveland, Ohio, in recognition of the broadened mission of the organization.  This mission is stated as "to preserve, develop and promote our Welsh cultural heritage including, but not limited to, the Gymanfa Ganu, literature, cultural traditions..." (see Official Website link below) 

With the exception of three years during World War II (1943-1945), a Gymanfa Ganu (commonly just referred to as a National) has been held in North America every year since 1929.  In 1969 the Gymanfa was held in Cardiff, and in 1974 in Swansea, both in Wales (there were two Nationals held in North America in each of those two years, but both are not included in the official count).

Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir

Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir, part of the Tai Tam Reservoirs, is a reservoir in Tai Tam Country Park, Tai Tam, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong and has a water storage capacity of 22.4 million gallons. The reservoir was completed in 1904.

Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir and Tai Tam Upper Reservoir are separated by a vehicular bridge. When full, the water from Tai Tam Upper Reservoir will pass through the bottom part of the bridge to Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir giving the appearance that the two reservoirs are jointly known as Tai Tam Reservoir ().

The reservoir can be accessed by Stage 6 of the Hong Kong Trail or by the Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail.

Its dam and the valve house built at the centre of the dam are listed as declared monuments while the ruins of the Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir senior staff bungalow and the workmen's quarters as well as the Tai Tam Reservoir Red Brick Building are classified as Grade III historic buildings.

History
The water storage capacity of Tai Tam Upper Reservoir is still inferior to the population growth. As Hong Kong Island lacks land that can be developed into a catchment area, the government decided to expand the water supply system of Tai Tam Valley, implement the second phase of The Extension of the Tai Tam Water Supply System and to construct the byewash Reservoir to collect the freshwater overflowing from the upper reservoir. The project was designed by James Orange, the resident engineer of the Tai Tam Reservoir construction project. The byewash reservoir consists of two dams, the main dam and the secondary dam. The main dam is a concrete gravity dam while the secondary dam is not far to the left of the main dam. There is a short pier between these two dams and the reservoir was completed in 1904.

Joseph Roumanille

Joseph Roumanille (; 8 August 1818 – 24 May 1891) was a Provençal poet. He was born at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône), and is commonly known in southern France as the father of the Félibrige, for he first conceived the idea of raising his regional language to the dignity of a literary language.

Biography

Joseph Roumanille was the son of Jean-Denis Roumanille and Pierrette Piquet. He studied at the nearby collège (junior highschool) of Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône) from 1834. After working as clerc de notaire in the same town from 1836 to 1839, Roumanille published his first verses in the Écho du Rhône. He then worked as a teacher in Nyons (Drôme), and later at the Dupuy collège in Avignon. When Roumanille was a teacher at Avignon, he discovered the genius of Frédéric Mistral, one of his pupils, and together they began what later became the Félibrean movement.

He married Rose-Anaïs Gras, sister of Provençal poet and novelist Félix Gras.

In 1888, Roumanille succeeded Frédéric Mistral to become 2nd Capoulie of the Félibrige, an association devoted to the Provençal language and Provençal literature. He died in Avignon in the morning of 24 May 1891. His funeral was held on 26 May in Avignon and he was buried in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, in the same grave as his parents.

Works
In 1847 Roumanille published a volume of verse called Li Marbarideto and in 1851 another entitled Li Sounjarello. In 1852 along with Mistral and Anselme Mathieu he edited a collection of Provençal verse called Li Prouvençalo. In 1853 he wrote a dissertation on Provençal spelling. The complete edition of his works includes Lis oubreto en vers, Lis oubreto en proso, Li capelan, Li conte prouvençau e li cascareleto, Li nouvé, Lis entarrochin and Letters. His writing is wholesome and simple, reflecting the country folk of the region.

Pastor Fernández

José Pastor Fernández Beita (born 22 April 1963) is a former football player in the National League of Costa Rica during the 1980s.

Club career
Fernández started his career in 1983 at second division Pérez Zeledón and later played for Cartaginés, Alajuelense and San Carlos.
He retired from the game after 5 seasons in Costa Rica's Premier Division at the age of only 28.

International career

Moment of glory
He became a national sports hero during the 1990 World Cup qualification, when he headed in the winning goal against El Salvador; that victory qualified Costa Rica for its inaugural World Cup.

During the previous games Evaristo Coronado had been the hero of the Costa Rican squad with his goals, most of which were headers. For the final game, however, Coronado was injured and Fernandez was picked as his replacement. Just as Coronado had been doing during the qualifying round, Fernandez headed in the winning goal.

From hero to zero
But he was not chosen by coach Velibor Milutinovic to go with the team to Italy, a decision he took very badly, feeling unappreciated by the Football Association as well. In protest, he gave up the sport after two years at Alajuelense and one at San Carlos and disappeared from the football scene. Coronado was also dropped for the World Cup, but he did continue his career.  This contrast highlighted Fernandez's decision as an impetuous one, and although many Costa Ricans remember his name and appreciate his goal, few can mention his other accomplishments.

International goals
Scores and results list Costa Rica's goal tally first.

Retirement
After retiring he went into American clothing and later in sportswear.

He is currently working as a P.E teacher in a Costa Rican High School

Personal life
Born in San Isidro de El General, his parents are Aricelda Beita and Ezequías Fernández. His brother Freddy has also played for the Costa Rica national team.

He is married and has three children.

Wynn Roberts (actor)

Wynn Roberts (born 1923/1924 – 24 August 2021) credited also as Wyn Roberts and Wynne Roberts,  was an Australian radio, stage and screen actor who appeared in more than 70 film and television productions between the early 1950s and 2001. He appeared in numerous TV plays and also featured in TV miniseries over a career spanning 50 years.

Career
His television credits include Homicide, Special Squad, The Flying Doctors, Police Rescue, A Country Practice and Wildside. He may be most recognisable to international audiences for his role in cult Grundy Television prison drama, Prisoner (also known as Prisoner: Cell Block H. 1979-1986), in which he appeared as (Stuart) Gillespie, a mean-spirited prison department inspector, in episodes originally aired in 1980-81. His character's authoritarian regime led to the 1980 season cliffhanger, where a number of inmates escape in a tunnel which subsequently collapses, killing a prisoner and trapping others. Later, during 1987, he guest starred in another Grundy soap opera, Neighbours (1985-), as Frank Darcy, an artist friend of Anne Haddy's character, Helen Daniels. The character memorably wore a leather eye patch and  came from Bungle Bungles, and he and Helen almost moved there together, but in the end, Helen decided to stay in Melbourne with her family and Frank left without her. He is also known for his prominent role as Sergeant Bumpher in the 1975 film classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock. He was also a leading stage actor, starting from the late 1940s.

He worked for a number of years in radio.

A 1965 article called him "one of the best and most versatile actors left in Australia - probably the best in Melbourne".

Death 
He died on 24 August 2021 in Tanja, New South Wales, aged 97.

Pennsylvania Route 739

Pennsylvania Route 739 (PA 739) is a Pennsylvania highway contained entirely within Pike County, Pennsylvania. It was signed in 1967, and runs for . Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in Blooming Grove, running south to US 209 in Delaware Township. PA 739's southern end is at the Dingman's Ferry Bridge at the Delaware River near Layton, New Jersey. It continues as County Route 560 (CR 560) in New Jersey.

Traveling northward from the southern terminus, the highway passes through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The highway also contains the PA 739 Business District. PA 739 runs under the names Dingman's Pike, Glen Eyre Road and Bethany Road.

Route description

PA 739 begins at the Dingman's Ferry Bridge, where CR 560 ends. The road starts by paying a toll for a bridge, which is manned by hand. It goes through dense forests and meets US 209 in Dingmans Ferry.
The road then goes north through dense forests. Silver Lake Road (State Route 2004, SR 2004), leaves to the left. Soon after the intersection with Sproul Road, PA 739 leaves the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

The road passes west of a park and ride lot before PA 739 crosses a traffic light with SR 2001, also known as Milford Road. The road continues through the dense forest and passes three of five Dingman Township schools. PA 739 meets up with SR 2006 (Log Tavern Road). PA 739 leaves Dingman Township and enters Blooming Grove Township.

Continuing north, PA 739 intersects with Interstate 84 (I-84) at Exit 34 (formerly Exit 9) just south of Lords Valley. The road goes farther, crossing SR 4004 and PA 434. At this time, PA 739 changes names to Glen Eyre Road. PA 739 ends at an intersection with US 6 in Blooming Grove. Although the route ends at US 6, the Glen Eyre Road designation continues on.

History
The road was designated PA 739 in 1967 between US 209 and US 6 and has kept the designation since then. In 1978, the road just south of I-84 to two miles (3 km) north of Dingmans Ferry was paved. From 1999 and before, the intersection with PA 434 used to be with SR 1001. The road was changed to PA 434 on the 2003 Pike County Maps. The southernmost portion of PA 739 south of US 209, SR 2019, first appeared on the PennDOT's maps of Pike County in 1993. That designation had existed until it was replaced by an extended PA 739 by 2015.

In 2003, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation ordered excavation of the intersection of PA 739 and SR 2001 (Milford Road). The project was part of an $812,000 intersection improvement project, which was to be completed that summer. In the year 2007, a project was started that would curves along PA 739 to be completed in 2010 and take about $300,000 to complete.
