Josephine Knur

Josephine Knur is a former Australian actress recognised for her role as Lorelei Wilkinson in television soap opera Number 96 in 1974.

Career 
Knur initially worked in the wardrobe department of Crawford Productions, while taking extra and acting jobs in series Ryan and Bellbird, and appearing in TV commercials. She then resigned from the wardrobe department to devote her time to pursuing an acting career full-time, starting with training at the Crawford's acting school.

Knur's attractive appearance led to an offer to appear in a decorative, semi-nude role in sex comedy film Alvin Purple, which Knur rejected as it contained no real acting.

During 1974 Knur acted in three episodes of police drama Division 4 each time as a different character. In mid 1974 Knur joined the cast of top rated soap opera Number 96 as vivacious dumb-blonde waitress Lorelei Wilkinson, and outfitted in costumes to enhance her physical attractiveness. A comedy character, Lorelei tried to increase her vocabulary by learning a word a day from the dictionary, then incorporating the word into her daily conversation.

Knur accepted the requirement to appear nude in Number 96, reasoning the role "gives me a chance to act and be seen acting".

Knur was a regular cast member of Number 96 for eight months. In the series her character Lorelei was killed off in November 1974 when she became the first on-screen victim of the Pantyhose Murderer.

Knur was then cast in new soap opera The Unisexers that was created by the Number 96 producers, Cash Harmon Television. The series debuted 7 February 1975 and Knur played original regular character Sally Pickles.

The Unisexers proved to be a ratings disaster that was cancelled and taken off air after only three weeks and 15 half-hour episodes.

In 1975 it was reported that Knur and another former Number 96 actor, Pamela Garrick, had made plans to leave Sydney together due to the lack of acting offers, and to work in the Philippines.
 
Knur had no further film or television acting credits after The Unisexers.

Valerie McDonald-Roberts

Valerie McDonald-Roberts is an American politician. She is  the Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds and was an unsuccessful candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania in 2006.

Community and political experiences
Roberts served on the Pittsburgh school board from 1989 to 1993, including one year as president. In 1994 she was elected to Pittsburgh City Council, becoming the first African-American woman to hold that position. During her time on council, she was President Pro-tempre and chairperson of the Financial and Budget Committee. Her main issues while serving on the City Council board included urban redevelopment, education, minority rights, and budgetary issues. In 2001, she was elected Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds. When the office was eliminated in 2008, Roberts was appointed the manager of county's Department of Real Estate.

Roberts has been a Girl Scout Leader for nearly twenty years, a member of her local St. Paul's Church in Point Breeze for most of her life, and a Sunday school teacher. She has also been a member of various local community organizations, including the Urban League of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Library and Science Center, and the Zoological Society of Pittsburgh.

Education
Roberts earned a B.S. in Medical Technology and an M.S. in Forsenic Chemistry, both from the University of Pittsburgh, both summa cum laude.

Campaign for lieutenant governor
On November 14, 2005, Roberts announced her candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania. Her primary opponents included the incumbent Catherine Baker Knoll; William Hall III, a building contractor; and Gene Stilp, an anti-pay raise activist. Knoll had had the advantage of being endorsed by the State Democratic Committee, while few elected officials endorsed Roberts. Some progressive and liberal circles and groups, annoyed by Knoll's social conservatism, supported Roberts. Supporters of Ms. Roberts said she not only offered geographical, racial, and gender balance to a potential Rendell-Roberts ticket but had the ability and courage to bring about changes and reforms in Harrisburg. Her main campaign issues and themes were health care and education. Mrs. Roberts received endorsements from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Daily and Sunday Review, Pittsburgh City Councilman Bill Peduto, Penn State Democrats, and Pennsylvania's two main pro-choice groups, Pennsylvania National Organization for Women and Pennsylvania Planned Parenthood.

On primary day, Roberts came in second to Knoll, with 139,585 votes to Knoll's 438,287.

Campaign for Allegheny County Controller
Roberts was a candidate for the 2011 Democratic nomination for the Allegheny County controller's office. Roberts lost the primary to Chelsa Wagner, who went on to win the office in the general election.

Macoupin Creek

Macoupin Creek is a  tributary of the Illinois River, which it joins near the village of Hardin, Illinois.

The word macoupin refers to the yellow pond lily (Nuphar advena), a native plant of the regional wetlands, and a favorite food source of local Indians. It has a large rootstock (a tuber) that was baked in a fire pit. The spelling is derived from French attempts at documenting the pronunciation of the Miami-Illinois , with macoupin being the modern form of the earlier French .

Macoupin Creek has been channelized near its junction with the Illinois River. A straight channel cuts through old oxbows on a direct path to the river. The old channel meanders through the Illinois bottoms for about  before joining the river, near the village of Hardin. The two channels thus form an island, called Macoupin Island, across the Illinois River from Hardin.

The old channel of Macoupin Creek forms the northwestern boundary between Greene and Jersey Counties. The actual boundary is ambiguous because of the shifting creek.

The creek is about  in length. The lower  of the creek runs in a narrow valley, usually less than a mile wide, between steep bluffs that rise up to  high. The bottom of the valley is mainly flat, and has little or no gradient in the downstream direction. The modern channel runs in a straight line, with little evidence of old oxbows. This portion of Macoupin Creek therefore appears to be a drainage ditch that was dug through a swamp or a marsh, that had no well-defined natural channel. This matches with old accounts that this area was a wetland, with natural lakes, and vast amounts of growing macoupin.

Cities, towns and counties
The following cities, towns and villages are drained by Macoupin Creek:
Carlinville
Farmersville
Girard
Greenfield
Kane
Medora
Palmyra

Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women

The Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women (, AMNLAE) was initially established in 1977 under the name Association of Women Concerned about National Crisis (, AMPRONAC). AMPRONAC was part of the Sandinista (FSLN) network which was set on bringing down the Anastasio Somoza Debayle regime in 1979. Shortly after the fall of Somoza, AMPRONAC change its name to AMNLAE, after Luisa Amanda Espinoza, the first women to die in the war against Somoza, but remained closely connected to the FSLN as their slogan suggests: "No revolution without women's emancipation: no emancipation without revolution."

AMNLAE was critiqued as being the submissive wife of the FSLN, and certainly not a feminist organization but rather a feminine one that fell short of full emancipation of women. AMNLAE membership subsequently dropped as women began resenting the close ties with the FSLN which resulted in advocacy for Sandinista priorities rather than that of Nicaraguan women. Additionally, women criticized AMNLAE leadership for their assumption that they knew what was best for all Nicaraguan women without reaching out to consult specific groups like the poor and working classes.

Navigating these different political scenes became a challenge for AMNLAE who eventually decided to elect its assembly in order to have a more representative leadership, but not before the FSLN interjected and placed five of its own trusted female militants into leadership in an attempt to increase the FSLN vote in the upcoming 1990 election. Despite these controversies, AMNLAE has been recognized as one of the first highly successful women's organizations in Latin America which was also responsible for spearheading one of the most democratic movements in the history of the region. Women in Nicaragua gained acceptance entry into the public sphere, recognition for their triple shift as well as rights to leadership and democratic participation because of this organization.

Whakatau

(or ) was a supernatural person in Māori mythology.

One day Apakura threw her apron into the sea, and a sea  named Rongotakawhiu took it and worked it into human form, and Whakatau was born. The  taught him the arts of enchantment. As the child grew older, people saw kites flying at sea, but could not see who held the strings. Whakatau loved to fly kites, and would run along the floor of the ocean with his toy. One day, he came ashore and the people tried to catch him. Whakatau was too fast a runner and would let no one catch him except his mother Apakura. He then lived on land with her, and grew up into a famous hero.

In another account, Tūwhakararo was murdered by the men of the Ati Hapai tribe, and Whakatau set out on a quest to rescue the bones of his father, and to avenge his death. He assembled an army, and prepared his war canoes , , , , , and others. The expedition set off, and Whakatau, with his best men, besieged a  called  where the enemy were gathered. The house was burned and the people of Ati Hapai were wiped out.

In some accounts, Whakatau was a son of Tūhuruhuru (son of Hinauri), and a nephew of Tūwhakararo.

Veøya

Veøya (or Veøy) is an island in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located at a junction of the three main branches of Romsdal Fjord between the island of Sekken and the mainland near the village of Nesjestranda.  The  island was the municipal centre of the old Veøy municipality.  The island was Norway's first legally protected land, and the buildings on the island, including the Old Veøy Church, are now part of the Romsdal Museum.

History

The island was a strategic location for the coastal routes during the Viking Age. The southern branch of Romsdal Fjord leads to the Romsdal valley (and the present-day town of Åndalsnes), where important trade routes led up the valley to Lesja. From there it followed the pilgrim trail over Dovre to Trøndelag, or down the Gudbrandsdal valley to Eastern Norway. The eastern branch led through the Langfjorden where they hauled their ships over the  wide, low-lying isthmus at Eidsvåg, in order to avoid the dreaded waters of Hustadvika, and then back to the shipping routes northwards to Nidaros (modern day Trondheim). To the west, past the inlet of the fjord, were the southbound routes to Bergen.

At this junction, Veøy was established as a kaupang (Old Norse for a market town), and Romsdal’s economic, administrative, and religious center. It had 300-500 permanent residents, and was an important commercial center, with a significant increase during the sailing season.  The Old Veøy Church, dedicated to the Apostle Peter, is built in stone and it is the only survivor of three churches on Veøya in the Middle Ages.  This church dates back to around the year 1200. It has a capacity of 400 people, and served the entire region, while the other churches served the local population.

Veøya is mentioned by Snorre Sturlason in connection with the battle of Sekken in 1162 where king Håkon Herdebrei was killed by Erling Skakke on 7 July 1162, during the Norwegian civil wars. Veøya, or nearby on the mainland, was probably the seat of Ragnvald Eysteinsson (Ragnvald Mørejarl), earl of Møre, whose son was Hrolf Ganger (Gange-Rolv).

The island became the seat for the municipality of Veøy in 1838. On 1 January 1964 the islands Sekken and Veøya as well as the Nesjestranda district on the mainland, with 756 inhabitants in total, were incorporated into the neighboring Molde Municipality. The island was Norway's first legally protected land, and the buildings on the island are now part of the Romsdal museum.

Tūwhakararo

Tūwhakararo was a chief in Hawaiki in Māori mythology. His murder and the subsequent war led to one of the reasons for the Māori's emigrating from Hawaiki.

Tūwhakararo went on a visit to the Āti Hāpai (or Raeroa) people, whose chief, Poporokewa, had married Tūwhakararo's sister Mairatea. In a wrestling match he was treated unfairly, and was killed in a treacherous manner. In revenge for this murder, his brother, Whakatau, set out with an army and destroyed Ati Hapai. In a South Island account, Tūwhakararo's wife is named Hakiri-maurea. In North Island versions, Hakiri-maurea is a young sister of Poporokewa; her rejection of a lover in favour of Tūwhakararo leads to the latter's death at the hands of the discarded suitor.

In some versions he is a son of Tūhuruhuru and Apakura, thus a grandson of Hina and great-nephew of Māui. In other versions, Tūwhakararo is the son of Rātā and Tonga-rau-tawhiri, and Tūwhakararo and his wife Apakura have a son named Whakatau. In yet other versions of the myth, he is the son of Rātā and Tongarautawhiri, and Apakura is his wife.

Kenny Buttrey

Aaron Kenneth Buttrey (April 1, 1945 – September 12, 2004) was an American drummer and arranger. According to CMT, he was "one of the most influential session musicians in Nashville history."

Buttrey was born in Nashville, Tennessee, became a professional musician at age 11 and went on his first world tour at the age of 14 with Chet Atkins. He first worked with Charlie McCoy and went on to play with two of his own groups, Barefoot Jerry and Area Code 615. Area Code 615 was best known for its song "Stone Fox Chase", which was the theme song for the BBC music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test in the 1970s. Buttrey also played in the group Rig.

However, he was best known as a session player and worked with a number of well-known musicians including Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young. He appears on Presley's He Touched Me; Dylan's albums Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, and Self Portrait; and Young's albums Harvest, Tonight's the Night, Harvest Moon, Unplugged, Silver & Gold, and Tuscaloosa. Other work included sessions for Joan Baez, Jimmy Buffett, J. J. Cale, Donovan, Dan Fogelberg, Al Kooper, Leo Kottke, Kris Kristofferson, Gordon Lightfoot, Mickey Newbury, Peggy Scott and Jo Jo Benson, Bob Seger, and Joe Simon.

Buttrey was a member of Neil Young's touring band, the Stray Gators. In 1973, he left the Stray Gators during their tour, with some reports saying he was fired, while others said the fan attention was too much; Johnny Barbata replaced Buttrey in mid-tour. In 1979, Buttrey provided the drumming for Chuck Berry's studio album Rockit. Also in 1979, he played drums on contemporary Christian singer Don Francisco's album Got to Tell Somebody.

Hit singles featuring Buttrey's playing include "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", "Heart of Gold", "The Chokin' Kind", and "Margaritaville", but he was quoted as saying he was most proud of his drumming on Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay". Buttrey died of cancer in Nashville on September 12, 2004, at the age of 59.

Ohio State Route 665

State Route 665 (SR 665) is an east–west state highway located in central Ohio, a U.S. state. The western terminus of this state highway is at a signalized intersection that marks the confluence of US 42, SR 38, SR 56 and SR 142 in downtown London.  Its eastern terminus is at an intersection with US 23 and SR 317 approximately  northwest of the village of Lockbourne.

Route description
SR 665 passes through the eastern portion of Madison County and the southwestern corner of Franklin County.  There is no segment of this route that is included within the National Highway System, a system of highways deemed most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.

History
When it was first designated in 1937, SR 665 was routed along its present alignment between the junction of US 42, SR 38, SR 56, and SR 142 in London and US 23 near Lockbourne.  Just two years later, the highway was extended on the east end, via a short jog northerly along US 23, then east along what is today SR 317 from US 23 into Groveport, where the route came to an end at the Main Street intersection.  Then, in 1973, a southward extension of SR 317 through the eastern portion of suburban Columbus resulted in that highway being extended to Groveport.  SR 317 was linked in with what was then the eastern terminus of SR 665, and then replaced SR 665 from that point westerly to US 23.  Consequently, SR 665 was restored to its original routing, and has not changed since that time. As of 2013, SR 317's southern terminus has been realigned to end at SR 665's eastern terminus.

Assyrian Canadians

Assyrian Canadians are Canadians of Assyrian descent or Assyrians who have Canadian citizenship. According to the 2011 Census there were 10,810 Canadians who claimed Assyrian ancestry, an increase compared to the 8,650 in the 2006 Census.

They are the indigenous pre-Arab and pre-Turkic people of northern Iraq, southeast Turkey, northeastern Syria, and northwest Iran, who speak dialects of Eastern Aramaic and are mainly Christian, although some are irreligious. Although most come from the aforementioned countries, many Assyrians have immigrated to Canada from Jordan, Georgia and Armenia as well.

History

The "Presby-Assyrians" 
Battleford's News-Optimist on June 22, 1979, noted that, “The Canadian West has no greater settlement story than that of the Assyrians who landed on Canadian soil on January 1, 1903.”

Reverend Dr. Isaac Adams organized two groups of Assyrian immigrants from Urmia, one in 1903 and 1906. Unlike many other immigrant groups at the time, the settlers were composed of families and not just men. They were the first Presbyterians in the region.

The Presbyterian Record, on January 1, 2008, the anniversary of the arrival of the Assyrian settlers, entitled their commemorative article: "Presby-Assyrians: they escaped persecution to form a unique community in Saskatchewan", connoting their religious and ethnic heritage.

Reasons for immigrating 
Most Assyrians arrived in Canada due to both ethnic persecution and religious persecution, mainly from their ancient ancestral Assyrian homeland in northern Iraq, southeast Turkey, northeast Syria and northwest Iran. The migration to Canada may be broken up into a number of distinct periods: early settlement and the subsequent waves of migration sparked by the Assyrian genocide in present-day Turkey and Iran, the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and, more recently, the Iraq War and Syrian Civil War. The last 2006 Census Canada counted 8,650

The first period of known mass-migration came just after the Assyrian genocide in the dying days of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. The second and perhaps largest wave of migration into came during the Iran–Iraq War. Under the shadow of war, Saddam Hussein's al-Anfal Campaign constituted a major force for migration for Iraq's Assyrian population.

Activism 
In 2014 after the ISIS attacks on the Nineveh plains, a rally on behalf of Assyrian genocide recognition was organized by Ramsin Ishaq in Windsor, Ontario, at the City Hall. Over 100 attendants, mostly Assyrian Christians, came out to rally the Canadian government to create an Assyrian State, through the UN. The rally received the support of Brian Masse of the NDP who spoke briefly, as well as a priest from the local Greek Orthodox Church.
