Dark Ages: Inquisitor

Dark Ages: Inquisitor is a supplement published by White Wolf, Inc. in 2002 for the horror role-playing game Dark Ages: Vampire

History
In 1991, White Wolf created the horror role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade set in the modern-day World of Darkness universe. This was followed in 1996 with a historical version, Dark Ages: Vampire, set in medieval France around the year 1230. When Dark Ages:  Vampire was revised and updated in 2002, White Wolf also released a number of supplements for other magical groups, including Dark Ages: Inquisitor, a 237-page softcover book written by Emily K. Dresner-Thornber, Myranda Kalis, Matthew McFarland, Anthony Ragan, Sarah Roark, Colin A. Suleiman, Adam Tinworth, and Janet Trautvetter. Artwork was provided by Jim DiBartolo, Marko Djurdjević, Eric Hotz, Becky Jollensten,  Tom Mandrake,  Rik Martin,  Alex Sheikman, Adrian Smith, James Stowe, and Timothy Truman.

Description
The book describes how players in Dark Ages: Vampire can create and play characters who are powerful members of a secret Shadow Inquisition, charged with discovering and destroying vampires and other "Get of Satan." The Inquisitor can be a member of one of five factions, each with special skills and magic.

Since many players of Dark Ages: Vampire join the game to play vampires and other non-human creatures, the Storyteller can alternatively use this book to create dangerous opponents who are actively seeking out the players in order to expose them and destroy them.

Reception
Peter Holian was impressed by the abilities granted to Inquisitors that gave them the power to stand up to a vampire or witch, saying, "I quite like Dark Ages: Inquisitor." Holian did feel this should have been a stand-alone game, commenting, "I was extremely annoyed that you need Dark Ages: Vampire to be able to run a game, whether you want it or not, because only it contains the core rules." Holian concluded, "All in all, this game embodies (even if it appears otherwise) what all the [World of Darkness] games historically entailed."

Richard Hearne

Richard Lewis Hearne  (30 January 1908 – 23 August 1979) was an English actor, comedian, producer and writer. He is best remembered for his stage and television character Mr Pastry.

Career
Hearne was born in Norwich, Norfolk, in 1908, the son of Richard and Lily May Hearne. Richard senior came from a theatrical family – his mother had been on the stage and he himself was a performing acrobat. Hearne worked on and off for the BBC for thirty years; he became the first performer to be known as a "television star" and also the first to have his own television series. The series, with the theme tune "Pop Goes The Weasel", had episodes lasting 25 minutes in which Hearne assumed the character of "Mr Pastry" – an old man with a walrus moustache, dressed in a black suit or raincoat and with a trademark bowler hat. Each week, the bumbling old man would have adventures, partly slapstick, partly comic dance, with two young friends. Jon Pertwee also starred in the show in a variety of roles.

The Mr Pastry character had originated in the 1936 stage show Big Boy in which Hearne had appeared with Fred Emney. A Mr Pastry film was subsequently made but portrayed the lead character as a pathetic figure coming out of prison and totally different from the TV series' bumbling comic.

His act first appeared on the US Ed Sullivan Show in 1954, and thereafter Hearne appeared on the show frequently. Buster Keaton was reportedly a fan. Hearne was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1959 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Theatre. In 1963, Hearne became President of the Lord's Taverners charity and he subsequently raised money for hundreds of hydrotherapy pools. In 1970, he was awarded an OBE for his charitable work.

He was interviewed for the starring role of the BBC series Doctor Who after the departure of Jon Pertwee, but a disagreement over his interpretation of the role (he wanted to play the Doctor as Mr Pastry) led to no offer being made by the producer, Barry Letts. The role was subsequently offered to Tom Baker. In 1976, he appeared as Mr. Pastry on the BBC's old time music hall show, The Good Old Days.

Hearne died in Bearsted, Kent, in 1979, aged 71, leaving a widow, Yvonne (née Ortner), and two children. He was buried in the churchyard in the village of St. Mary's Platt, near Borough Green in Kent. He had lived at Platt Farm, a fifteenth-century property in Long Mill Lane in the village, from the 1940s, and ran a market garden there.

In 1838, Corby became involved in shipping goods between Belleville and Kingston, and selling grain.

Corby served for a number of years on the Belleville village council and continued to be politically active as a Conservative. In 1855, he purchased a gristmill and foundeded his distillery in 1859.

In 1867, Corby was elected as the mayor of Belleville and an Ontario MPP representing Hastings East. He helped promote the development of railways in the area, which were a catalyst to increasing trade and residents. He left the office of mayor in 1868.

Corby retired from politics in 1875 due to declining health. He died on 25 October 1881. He was survived by his son, Henry Jr. (1851–1917).

Legacy
The town where Corby's distillery was located was renamed as Corbyville in 1882, in his honour.

Empress Dowager Duan (Zhaowen)

Empress Dowager Duan (段太后, personal name unknown) was an empress dowager of the Chinese/Xianbei state Later Yan.  She was a concubine of the founding emperor Murong Chui (Emperor Wucheng), and she was the mother of Murong Xi (Emperor Zhaowen).

Biography
Little is known about her life before Murong Xi became emperor, and although it appears likely that she might be related to Murong Chui's empress Duan Yuanfei, that connection is not completely clear.  After Murong Xi succeeded his nephew Murong Sheng (Emperor Zhaowu) in 401, initially, he did not honor her as empress dowager, as Murong Sheng's mother Empress Dowager Ding was already empress dowager, but after he forced Empress Dowager Ding to commit suicide in 402 over her failed coup attempt, he honored his mother as empress dowager around the new year 404.

In summer 407, after Murong Xi's empress Empress Fu Xunying died, Empress Dowager Duan, for reasons unknown, removed her own empress dowager title and moved out of the palace.  That was the last historical reference to her, and it is not known what happened to her after Murong Xi was killed in a coup by his adoptive nephew Murong Yun (Emperor Huiyi) later that year.

Kunhar River

The Kunhar River () or River Kunhar, is a  long river, located primarily in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, northern Pakistan. It is in the Indus River watershed basin.

Its previous name was NainSukh (Ankhon ka Araam). Some people claim after the arrival of Swatis in Hazara, this river was renamed because Swatis were originally from Kunar, Province of Afghanistan.

Origin and route

The river originates from the upper Kaghan Valley's Dharamsar Lake, near Babusar Pass. The waters of Dudipat and Saiful Muluk Lakes feed the river, besides glacial waters from Malka Parbat and other high peaks in the valley. River Kunhar flows through the entire Kaghan valley and enters into Nainsukh Valley from Balakot comprising Garhi Habibullah and Dalola. It joins the Jhelum River at Rarah about 10 km downstream from Muzaffarabad, in the Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.

Yehuda D. Nevo

Yehuda D. Nevo (1932 – 12 February 1992) was a Middle Eastern archeologist living  in Israel.  He died after a long battle with cancer in 1992.

Research
Nevo discovered Kufic inscriptions in the Negev desert in Israel, four hundred of which were published in Ancient Arabic Inscriptions from the Negev. This led him and Judith Koren, a librarian at the University of Haifa, to re-examine the origins of Islam, and early Islamic history.

They fundamentally doubt the historicity of Islamic traditional accounts of early Islam, thus adhering to the Revisionist School of Islamic Studies. Nevo and Koren co-authored a work called Crossroads to Islam: The Origins of the Arab Religion and the Arab State, which presents a theory of the origins and development of the Islamic state and religion. According to them, the Arabs conquered the Near East with a mixture of pre-Islamic pagan and "Indeterminate Monotheistic" beliefs. The Arab's beliefs were modified in contact with the Jewish-Christian monotheism they encountered in the conquered land. Nevo's research cast doubts on the historicity of the traditional narrative of Muhammad as a prophet and the traditional history of the Quran.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Muhammad#cite_note-2

Some of Nevo's work is also published in the book Quest for the Historical Muhammad, edited by Ibn Warraq.

Quote 
Since external evidence is necessary to corroborate a view derived solely from the Muslim literary account, lack of such corroboration is an important argument against that account's historicity. This approach is therefore more open than the 'traditional' to acceptance of an argumentum e silentio. For if we are ready to discount an uncorroborated report of an event, we must accept that there may be nothing with which to replace it: that the event simply did not happen. That there is no evidence for it outside of the "traditional account" thus becomes positive evidence in support of the hypothesis that it did not happen. A striking example is the lack of evidence, outside the Muslim literature, for the view that the Arabs were Muslim at the time of the Conquest.

Eduardo Dougherty

Fr. Edward ("Eduardo") John Dougherty, SJ is an American-Brazilian Jesuit priest, educator, communicator and religious leader of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement in Brazil.

Father Dougherty was born on January 29, 1941, in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. He was ordained in 1965 and first came to Brazil in 1966.  He did his theological studies in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Before returning to Brazil, in 1969, he underwent his baptism of the Holy Spirit at Michigan, becoming a charismatic. Establishing himself in Campinas, a city in the state of São Paulo, he began to collaborate with another American Jesuit priest of the charismatic movement, Father Harold Rahm (the creator of a successful program to recover drug addicts through a method which he called Demanding Love ("Amor Exigente" in Portuguese language).

In 1980, Father Dougherty founded the Associação Senhor Jesus (Lord Jesus Association) a not-for-profit educational and religious association located in Valinhos, São Paulo (very near to Campinas), which began by selling and distributing religious publications, music records, etc., and soon afterwards, the TV program "Anunciamos o Senhor" (We Announce the Lord), involving a national chain of three TV stations covering 60% of Brazilian territory.

In 1990, he started his own satellite TV channel called "TV Século 21" (21st century TV), supported by a foundation with the same name. With excellent and extensive facilities in an area of more than 24,000 m²., the TV enjoys one of the most extensive (and free of charge) retransmission networks of educational television channels in Latin America.

Father Dougherty has a keen entrepreneurial and marketing approach to his ministry and has studied business administration in the USA.

Quote
I believe that the Catholic Church needs to enchant its clients. Using a marketing concept, we have the best possible product, that is, God; the best possible price, which is free; and a very extensive worldwide distribution network; but we still have to make a lot of noise. Our product must be an experience of God."

Estadio George Capwell

Estadio Banco del Pacífico Capwell is a multi-purpose stadium in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Emelec. It was announced right after Emelec won the 2013 Ecuador Serie A title that Estadio George Capwell would be completely remodeled to hold a capacity of 40,000 fans. The remodeling work began in June 2014 and ended in December 2016.

In their first league season (Primera Etapa 2017) season at the expanded stadium, Emelec drew an average home attendance of 22,407. It became the highest average in the league, followed by Barcelona SC with 10,572.

Overview
Founder George Lewis Capwell was born in the United States; he traveled to Ecuador to supervise his electric company Empresa Eléctrica del Ecuador, translated into English as the Ecuadorian Electric Company. While supervising the company, Capwell saw that his workers were interested in soccer, therefore, he decided to create a soccer team that bears the company's name, C.S. Emelec.

Capwell's colleagues funded the soccer club on April 28, 1929. Emelec was registered to the Serie C, or C league, in Ecuador in 1929. In 1940 a stadium was built to honor him.

The stadium and its beginnings
Estadio George Capwell is located north of General Gomez Street, south of San Martin, west of Quito Avenue, and east of Montufar Street. It was named after George Capwell not just to honor the soccer club's founder and first president, but also because he led the construction of the stadium. Capwell's initial idea was for the site not to be a soccer field, but a baseball diamond. When soccer's popularity grew in the company and in Guayaquil, the baseball field was quickly converted into a soccer stadium, which it remains to this day.

Construction
Construction of the stadium started in September 1940, when the council of Guayaquil approved the leasing of 4 square blocks for the construction of Emelec's new stadium. On September 8, 1942, the municipality donated the blocks instead of having them leased. On October 15, 1942, the Ecuadorian Republic approved the city blocks for the stadium's construction.
 
On June 24, 1943, the first stone was placed. The construction was completed, and Estadio George Capwell was inaugurated with a baseball game between Emelec and Oriente, on October 21, 1945, with 11,000 fans in attendance. The doors opened to soccer on December 2, 1945; a match was held between Emelec and Manta-Bahia, which Emelec won 5-4.

The Ecuadorian local tournament was won by Emelec because they had won their local title for the first time. A year later, on November 30, 1947, the stadium welcomed international soccer when Guayaquil hosted the Copa America tournament; Estadio Capwell was the stadium host. Once El Estadio Modelo opened its doors in 1959, Estadio Capwell lost its prestige and began to slowly fall into disrepair.

Bombacoideae

Bombacoideae is a subfamily of the mallow family, Malvaceae. It contains herbaceous and woody plants. Their leaves are alternate, commonly palmately lobed, with small and caducous stipules. The flowers are hermaphroditic and actinomorphic; the calyx has 5 sepals united at the base, which are not accompanied by an epicalyx (involucel). The corolla has 5 free petals and an androecium of numerous stamens, typically with free filaments which are not fused in a staminal tube (column). The pollen is smooth and the ovary superior and pluricarpellate. The fruits are schizocarpous or capsular.

Genera

Classification
Some taxa in this subfamily were previously grouped under the now-obsolete family Bombacaceae, as recent phylogenetic research has shown that Bombacaceae as traditionally circumscribed (including tribe Durioneae) is not a monophyletic group. Camptostemon, Lagunaria, Pentaplaris and Uladendron might more appropriately be placed in Malvoideae, as might the tribe Matisieae (Matisia, Phragmotheca and Quararibea).

Naot

Teva Naot () is an Israeli shoe and sandal manufacturer based at Kibbutz Neot Mordechai.

History
Naot, which opened in 1942, started out as a small kibbutz factory producing work boots.  Currently, it employs 160 workers and designs a new line of footwear every year to keep up with global fashion trends.  Naot's products include a variety of shoes and sandals for men, women and children with special insoles that conform to the shape of the wearer's foot. Footbeds can be replaced by a user's custom orthotic insoles, or by standard replacements for worn ones.

In 1988, shoe manufacturing in Israel suffered from the glut of inexpensive imports from the Far East. Naot Mordechai considered shutting down its shoe factory. The economic situation of the kibbutz was so serious that it became part of a study of failing companies at the economics department of Tel Aviv University. Ami Bar-Nahor was assigned to be a consultant for Naot Mordechai as part of a class exercise. He came up with the idea of modernizing both the product and production to attract the new health-conscious shoe consumer. "I aimed at a sort of Israelization of Birkenstock,” said Bar-Nahor, referring to a well-known German footwear manufacturer. Bar-Nahor spent four years at Naot Mordechai. Traditional biblical sandals had inflexible soles; Naot used a flexible footbed of cork, natural rubber or leather. Adjustable leather straps allowed for swelling of the feet.

Bar-Nahor hired young designers from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and Shenkar College in Tel Aviv to add color and interest to the old style sandals produced mainly in beige, brown and black.  In 2006 Shamrock Holdings, based in Burbank, California, paid US$31 million for the purchase of 66 percent of the enterprise.

In 2011 Teva Naot was targeted by Canadian protesters who said that the soles were manufactured in the controversial Gush Etzion West Bank settlements. In the wake of the protests, sales in the company's Canadian stores actually increased.

International markets
Naot exports 80% of its production worldwide. Major markets include the United States (distributor: Yaleet Inc., Farmingdale, New York), Canada (distributor: Solemates Inc., Toronto, Ontario), Germany, UK and Australia. In 2011 Teva Naot's turnover in Canada was Can$20 million, with nine stores. Naot footwear is distributed in Europe by Naama Naot Germany, and AJJH Ltd., UK.

Henry Corby Jr.

Henry Corby (May 2, 1851 – April 23, 1917) was an Ontario businessman and politician. He represented Hastings West as a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1888 to 1901. Appointed to the Senate from Belleville, Ontario in 1912, he served until his death in office in 1917.

Biography
He was born in Belleville, Canada West in 1851, the son of Henry Corby and Alma Williams, who married in England in 1832 before immigrating to Upper Canada. His father started a grocery and distillery. As a youth Corby attended school at the Rockwood Academy in Rockwood, Ontario.

He grew up in his father's business and, in 1881, took it over. The distillery later became part of Corby Distilleries. Corby contributed much to the city of Belleville: he donated funding to establish the public library, helped develop the park at Massassaga Point, and founded the Corby Charitable Fund. Corby also donated the land and funds to develop Corby Park.

In the late nineteenth century, Belleville was a major market town. Outlying farmers were hampered in getting their produce to market across the Bay of Quinte by the slow ferries. Corby joined with other major businessmen first, to establish a charter for a steam ferry in 1879. Next they began to raise money to build the first bridge across the Bay of Quinte; the swing bridge was started in 1887 and completed in 1891. The bridge was privately funded, and for decades the directors originally charged varying tolls to pedestrians and other users of the bridge.

In 1920 the City of Belleville, Hastings County, and Ontario provincial government together bought the bridge to operate as a public utility. The following year they dropped the tolls.

Along with his municipal activities, Corby became politically active. He was elected to Parliament representing Hastings West as a Conservative Party member, serving 1888 to 1901. He returned to his businesses but was later appointed to the Senate of Canada in 1912; he served until his death in office in 1917.

Stop block

A stop block is a simple reusable jig used in metalworking and woodworking to locate a common edge of a workpiece so that multiple workpieces can get the same operation performed quickly. Common applications are table saws and manual milling machines, but they are also used on miter saws, band saws, radial arm saws, and abrasive saws.

Stop blocks used in metalworking usually have a small rod that slides parallel to the vise jaws and can be tightened in a particular position. Stop blocks in woodworking are typically nothing more than wood blocks clamped to a rip fence or auxiliary fence so that a distance from the saw blade can be maintained between cuts.
