James Doland

James Alfred Doland (26 April 1880 – 19 October 1943) was a Member of the Western Australian Legislative Council for four months in 1911–12.

The son of farmer Thomas Doland and Elizabeth née McGuffin, Doland was born in Albury, New South Wales on 26 April 1880. In 1889 he emigrated to Western Australia, working as a tailor at Bunbury and Perth from 1900.  That year he was president of the Tailors' Association of Western Australia, and he was later president of the Perth chapter of the Australian Natives' Association. On 24 July 1907 he married Grace Margaret Radley, with whom he had a son and two daughters.

From 1907, Doland became active in the Labor movement. He was secretary of the Political Labor Council from 1907 to 1909, and thereafter became president of the Metropolitan District Council of the Australian Labor Federation. On 3 November 1911, he was elected to the Legislative Council's Metropolitan-Suburban Province, in a by-election occasioned by the resignation of Joseph Langsford. He held the seat until the dissolution of parliament on 21 March 1912.  He contested the seat in the subsequent election of 14 May, but was unsuccessful.  In the election of 21 October 1914 he contested the Western Australian Legislative Assembly seat of West Perth, again without success.

Little is known of Doland's life after 1914.  He died on 19 October 1943, from injuries caused by an accident in which he fell from a moving tram. He was buried at Karrakatta Cemetery.

Glenn Braggs

Glenn Erick Braggs (born October 17, 1962) is an American former Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball outfielder and designated hitter. Braggs was a member of the Cincinnati Reds team that defeated the Oakland Athletics in the 1990 World Series. He is an alumnus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Major League Baseball career
Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2nd round of the 1983 Major League Baseball Draft, Braggs made his major league debut with the Brewers on July 18, 1986. Starting in left field and batting fifth, Braggs went 1-4 in a 6-1 road loss to the Oakland Athletics. His first career hit was a sixth-inning single off Joaquin Andujar. He hit the first of his 70 career home runs on August 2, 1986 with a two-run shot off Charlie Hough.

He had his best season in 1989, hitting 15 home runs with 66 runs batted in (RBI) and 17 stolen bases with a .247 batting average.

After beginning the season batting .248 with three homers and 13 RBI in 37 games, he was acquired along with Billy Bates by the Reds from the Brewers for Ron Robinson and Bob Sebra on June 9, 1990. He played a key role as the Reds advanced to the National League playoffs. In 231 plate appearances, he hit six home runs with 28 RBI and a .299 average.

In the 1990 NLCS against the Pirates, he went 1-for-5 but had a huge impact on the series. In the top of the ninth inning of game six, with one on and one out, the Reds clung to a 2–1 lead. Braggs robbed Carmelo Martinez of a possible go-ahead home run, reaching up and snagging a long fly as his back hit the wall, for the second out of the inning. The Reds advanced to the World Series.

In the World Series, he went 0-for-4 but had two RBI and one base on balls as the Reds won the World Series over the heavily favored Oakland Athletics.

He played two more seasons for the Reds, appearing in his final MLB game on September 10, 1992, where he hit a home run in his final at bat.

Braggs was known for his upper body strength, and in fact once snapped a bat on a check swing. When he stopped his swing, he put so much force on the bat to stop it that it sheared off just above the grip, without ever touching the ball. In the second inning of Game 4 of the 1990 World Series, he swung so hard at a pitch from the A's Dave Stewart that the bat broke on his back on the follow-through.

Personal life
Glenn Braggs is married to the musician Cindy Herron, also known as Cindy Herron-Braggs, of the R&B female group En Vogue. They have four children. He is a real estate agent in the Los Angeles area, and is also vegan.

Raleigh McKenzie

Raleigh McKenzie (born February 8, 1963) is an American former professional football player who was a guard and center in the National Football League (NFL). During a 16-year football career, he played for four different teams. Raleigh played guard for the Washington Redskins from 1985 to 1994. He was drafted in the 11th round of the 1985 NFL Draft by Washington. Nicknamed "Rallo", he played primarily as a reserve during his first season before becoming a vital starter due to injury. He started in each game after that at any of the five positions on the offensive line, but his speciality was center.  He played on two Super Bowl champion teams in 1987 and 1991.  He was named to the UPI All-NFL Team in 1991.  He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles, San Diego Chargers, and Green Bay Packers.

McKenzie attended Austin-East High School in Knoxville, where he and his identical twin brother Reggie played both at linebacker and on the offensive line (future Raiders Director of Player Personnel Joey Clinkscales was among their teammates).  Raleigh was named the 11th-best recruit in Tennessee by the Knoxville News Sentinel following his senior year.

The McKenzie brothers played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers from 1981 to 1984.  Both played linebacker as freshmen, but Raleigh switched to center during his sophomore season.  Playing alongside All-American Bill Mayo and future NFL lineman Bruce Wilkerson, McKenzie anchored a line that helped running back Johnnie Jones set school records for rushing in 1984.  McKenzie's position coach was future Vol head coach Phillip Fulmer. In September 2011, the McKenzie brothers were honored as UT "Legends of the Game" during the Vols' game against Cincinnati.

McKenzie joined the Redskins for training camp in 2001 assisting the personnel department.  He also ran summer football camp.  Before joining his brother in Oakland, Raleigh was an assistant football coach at Herndon High School in Virginia. When his brother Reggie was hired as the general manager of the Oakland Raiders, Raleigh joined the team as a scout. After Reggie was fired in late 2018, Raleigh stayed on until after the 2019 NFL Draft, when new general manager Mike Mayock announced Raleigh would not be retained.

Both brothers are members of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.

Rusty Tillman

Russell Arthur Tillman (February 27, 1946 – March 14, 2021) was an American football player who played linebacker in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins from 1970 to 1977.

Tillman was nicknamed “The King” for his special teams mastery.  He played seven different special teams positions and served as special teams captain from 1974 to 1977.  He was a member of Washington’s 1972 NFC Championship squad.

After retiring from football, Tillman stayed in the NFL as an assistant coach for the Seattle Seahawks for 16 years, where he coached special teams, tight ends, linebackers before becoming defensive coordinator.  He also spent time as assistant with Tampa Bay, Oakland, Indianapolis and Minnesota.  He served as head coach of the XFL’s New York/New Jersey Hitmen; uninterested in the sports entertainment approach the league was taking, Tillman mostly took a straight approach to coaching in the league, refusing to get wrapped up in the publicity stunts.  Tillman was called "Gutless Rusty" by WWF announcer and sitting Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, who as part of a publicity stunt, came out of his XFL broadcast booth to try to provoke a response from Tillman near the end of the league's week 4 telecast; Tillman turned away and refused to answer him.

Tillman also spent one season assistant coaching a GEJFA team in Washington, the Woodinville Falcons, with head coach John Pike, where his son played. Tillman was a special teams coach in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks in the 1980s and the Minnesota Vikings under Mike Tice.

He died on March 14, 2021.

Gundulić family

The House of Gundulić (known in Italian as Gondola) was a noble family of the Republic of Ragusa, considered one of the most prestigious families of the republic. It had origins in southern Dalmatia and Tyrol. The family´s motto is Tout ou rien ("All or nothing").

Origin 
According to historian Serafin Cerva, the Gundulić patriciate dates to 930, as does those of Gozze, Pozza and Giorgi, meaning that they were deemed the oldest ones of Ragusa. The first known member of the Gundulić family was known as Silvanus. The mention of the name comes from 1024. The name Gundulić derives from Greek, xovbu (vase à boire), as said, or xouvrexac; (barque).

Middle Ages 
In the 13th century, three generations of this family took leading roles in the public life in Ragusa. In the 15th century, Paladino Gundulić held the important position of a diplomat of the Republic to the Kingdom of Naples and Skanderbeg.

17th century 
The poet Ivan Gundulić (1589-1638) became the most significant person in the Gundulić-Gondola family, being named the Count of Konavle in 1615 and 1619. In 1634 he became a senator. At the end of 1638 he was elected to the Small Council, but died before taking office. Ivan married Nicoletta Sorgo-Sorkočević, daughter of Sigmund Sorgo-Sorkočević.

Ivan's son, Frano, served the Austrian Empire and the Polish King Jan III Sobieski in 1683, participating in the defeat of the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna. The family then obtained fiefdoms from Emperor Leopold I. The others sons, Sigmund (Šiško) and Matteo, spent several years in the military service of the Spanish Habsburgs. After his return to Dubrovnik, Mateo lived in Turkey for 28 months, until 1674. Matteo later married a commoner, but had no children. He was elected the Rector of Ragusa many times.

On 20 April 1693 the Secretary of the Republic of Ragusa, Michael Allegrettus, confirmed the nobility of the family on behalf of the Rectors and the Great Council (Consilium Maius), its  patrician status.

KGU-FM

KGU-FM (99.5 MHz) is a commercial radio station in Honolulu, Hawaii, broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching radio format. It is owned by the Salem Media Group with studios and offices on North King Street in Honolulu's Kalihi district.  KGU-FM is a brokered programming station where hosts pay for their time on the air and may use their shows to seek donations to their ministries.  National religious leaders heard on KGU-FM include David Jeremiah, Jim Daly, Charles Stanley, J. Vernon McGee and Chuck Swindoll.  Several Honolulu pastors also have shows on the station.

KGU-FM has an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts horizontal polarization and 81,000 watts vertical.  Its transmitter is off Palehua Road in Akupu, Hawaii.

History

Japanese tourism and Hawaiian AC
The station signed on the air on .  The original call sign was KORL.  It had a Japanese tourist information format.   In 1999, the station switched to Hawaiian Adult Contemporary music.  In 2002, it added the moniker "The Breeze" and changed call letters to KHUI.

In 2003, KHUI became the first station in the United States to play a Variety Hits format when it brought Bob FM to the Honolulu radio market.  But the format didn't score well in the Arbitron ratings and only lasted a year.

Salem ownership
In 2004, the Salem Media Group bought the station and reinstated "The Breeze" Hawaiian AC format that same year. In November 2006, KHUI switched formats to soft oldies and adult standards, branded as "The Jewel."  It used the satellite-fed service "America's Best Music" from Dial Global (now Westwood One).  America's Best Music was previously heard in the market from 1995 to 2001 on KUMU 1500 AM.

On December 26, 2010, KHUI flipped from Adult Standards to a simulcast of Salem's Christian Talk sister station KGU 760 AM.  The call letters switched to KGU-FM to match the call sign on 760 AM. 

The simulcast ended on February 1, 2011, when the AM station flipped to Business Talk.  That left KGU-FM with the Christian talk and teaching format.  (KGU 760 is now a sports radio station.)

Souvenir of Their Visit to America

Souvenir of Their Visit to America is an EP of music by English rock band the Beatles. Released on 23 March 1964, it is the first of three Beatles EPs released in the United States and the only one released by Vee-Jay Records. The EP features four songs that had previously been released by Vee-Jay on their Introducing... The Beatles album. This EP did not chart.

Context
Capitol Records, a unit of EMI and sister label to the Beatles' record label Parlophone, had first refusal rights to any material released by an EMI label. Capitol in the US repeatedly turned down the Beatles for most of 1963, so the Beatles' first two singles of that year, as well as an altered version of their British debut album Please Please Me, were released by Vee-Jay Records. Vee-Jay was a small company with few resources, and as a result of little publicity or promotion, the records sold poorly. Vee-Jay lost the rights to the Beatles' music over nonpayment of royalties, and the smaller Swan Records received the rights to issue the "She Loves You" single. 

After the Beatles were booked to perform on the popular Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, Capitol finally exercised its option and signed a deal with the Beatles in November 1963. In a legal settlement with Capitol, Vee-Jay received rights to market the Beatles recordings they possessed until 10 October 1964, at which point all rights to all EMI Beatle recordings in the United States would be assigned to Capitol Records. 

Souvenir of Their Visit to America was a great success and is by far the most common Beatles EP of all the US releases. However, because part of the EP's sales were through mail-order offers, the trade magazines refused to chart it.

Tour Super-Italie

The Tour Super-Italie is a residential skyscraper in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. Its exact address is 121-127, Avenue d'Italie. The mainly residential tower was built by the architect Maurice Novarina, assisted by the architects Jacques Giovannoni and Léger. It includes a private indoor swimming pool and a solarium accessible by a staircase from the 34th floor.

History
Inaugurated in February 1974, with a total height of 112 metres, Super-Italie is the tallest tower of an urban planning operation, known as Italie 13, which consisted of building residential towers in Paris' 13th arrondissement. A second tower of identical shape was planned to be built in the same block. However, the pausing of Italie 13 ordered during the mandate of the French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing has led to the cancellation of the project.

Also known in the neighbourhood under the nickname of the round tower, the tower distinguishes from the other towers of the arrondissement by its cylindrical shape while others are parallelepipeds. Its total weight is of 44,000 tons, which represents about 4.5 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower.

Transport
This site is served by the Maison Blanche metro station.

It is held annually to commemorate the victims of the Armenian genocide of 1915. It was a series of massacres and starvation of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottomans. In Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, hundreds of thousands of people walk to the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial to lay flowers at the eternal flame. This day is also called "Armenian Martyrs Day".

History 

The date 24 April commemorates the deportation of Armenian intellectuals on 24 April 1915 from Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). The first commemoration, organised by a group of Armenian Genocide survivors, was held in Istanbul in 1919 at the local St. Trinity Armenian church. Many prominent figures in the Armenian community participated in the commemoration. Following its initial commemoration in 1919, the date became the annual day of remembrance for the Armenian Genocide.

On 9 April 1975, the US House of Representatives passed Joint Resolution 148 designating 24 April as a National Day of Remembrance of Man's Inhumanity to Man. The Resolution commemorated the victims of genocide, especially those of Armenian ancestry who succumbed to the genocide perpetrated in 1915, The resolution however failed to pass in the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee due to President Gerald R. Ford’s strong opposition to what he saw as a threat to the country's strategic alliance with Turkey.

In 1988, Soviet Armenia formally adopted 24 April as a public day of commemoration.

In 1997 in the US, the California State Assembly declared 24 April as a Day of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915–1923, and for the victims of the Sumgait Pogroms of 1988 and Baku Riots of 1990.

In 2007, Argentina passed National Law 26199, designating 24 April as "Day of Action for Tolerance and Respect among Peoples", in which Armenian Argentines are excused from work.

In 2015, the House of Commons of Canada unanimously passed Motion M-587, proposed by Brad Butt, marking April to be Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation and Prevention Month, and designating 24 April as Armenian Genocide Memorial Day.

In 2019, France marked its first national commemoration of the genocide, with French president Emmanuel Macron declaring 24 April "a national day of remembrance of the Armenian genocide", fulfilling a campaign pledge.

In 2021, US President Joe Biden recognized the genocide on 24 April, fulfilling a campaign pledge.

Heishansaurus

Heishansaurus, meaning "Heishan lizard" after the area in China where it was discovered, is the name given to a dubious genus of herbivorous ornithischian dinosaur, probably belonging to the Ankylosauridae.

In 1930, Swedish palaeontologist Anders Birger Bohlin discovered dinosaur fossils, in the context of the Swedish-Chinese expeditions headed by Sven Hedin, near Jiayuguan ("Chia-Yu-Kuan"), in the west of Gansu Province.

In 1953, Bohlin named these as the type species Heishansaurus pachycephalus. The generic name refers to the Heishan, the "Black Mountains". The specific name  pachycephalus, meaning "thick-headed", was inspired by Bohlin's identification of the taxon as a pachycephalosaur. Today this dinosaur is more probably considered an ankylosaur. The fossils, from the Minhe Formation dating from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian or Maastrichtian stage), were fragmentary. The type is the only known specimen. The material consisted of poorly preserved cranial and postcranial fragments plus some dermal scutes. It contained skull fragments including a maxilla, teeth, vertebrae from the neck, back and tail, osteoderms and spikes. Today, the specimen is lost. Of one dorsal vertebra a cast remains, preserved in the American Museum of Natural History with the inventory number AMNH 2062.

Bohlin considered the species to be a member of the pachycephalosaurians because he mistook an osteoderm for the thick skull roof typical of this group. The material is probably ankylosaurid. It has been seen as a junior synonym of Pinacosaurus but the genus is more generally considered a nomen dubium, especially since Bohlin's description can only be checked by comparison with his published drawings.

Wu Yonggang

Wu Yonggang (November 1, 1907 – December 18, 1982) was a prominent Chinese film director during the 1930s. Today Wu is best known for his directorial debut, The Goddess. Wu had a long career with the Lianhua Film Company in the 1930s, in Chongqing during the war, and in the mainland after the 1949 communist revolution.

Biography 
Wu Yonggang was born in Shanghai in 1907, but was considered a native of his ancestral home Wu County, Jiangsu in Chinese convention. Wu Yonggang was one of the major leftist film directors of pre-Communist China. For the early part of his career, Wu was a set designer with Dazhonghua Baihe, before transferring to the Shaw Brothers' Tianyi Film Company. He was eventually noticed by Shi Dongshan at the newly formed Lianhua Film Company. His first film from the director's chair, 1934's The Goddess (under contract with Lianhua), earned both him and the film's star, Ruan Lingyu, rave reviews. A prolific director, Wu continued to make films well into the 1970s until his retirement shortly before his death including Evening Rain (co-directed with Wu Yigong) which won Best Picture at the first annual Golden Rooster Awards.

Acclaimed director Chen Kaige referred to Wu Yonggang as one of his most admired directors, and named The Goddess as his favorite film of the 1930s.

Coney Island Avenue

Coney Island Avenue is a road in the New York City borough of Brooklyn that runs north-south for a distance of roughly five miles, almost parallel to Ocean Parkway and Ocean Avenue. It begins at Brighton Beach Avenue in Coney Island and goes north to Park Circle at the southwest corner of Prospect Park, where it becomes Prospect Park Southwest. Near-parallel Ocean Parkway terminates five blocks south and three blocks west of that intersection, becoming the Prospect Expressway (New York State Route 27).  Ocean Parkway originally extended north to Park Circle, where Coney Island Avenue meets Prospect Park, until construction of the Prospect Expressway replaced the northern half-mile of Ocean Parkway but included ramps to the edge of Prospect Park.

Coney Island Avenue frontage is dominated by mixed-use housing: pre-war apartment buildings, small shops, including many antique shops, and service businesses. The B68 bus line runs along Coney Island Avenue, connecting the Prospect Park area and Downtown Brooklyn to the famous oceanfront attractions of Coney Island and Brighton Beach. It is also one of the most dangerous streets in New York City, with many avoidable accidents happening because of poor road design.

The Brighton Beach station on the BMT Brighton Line is located adjacent to Coney Island Avenue at the thoroughfare's intersection with Brighton Beach Avenue. The 15th Street-Prospect Park station on the IND Culver Line is located at the north end of Prospect Park Southwest at Bartel Pritchard Square.

An area surrounding about  of Coney Island Avenue is home to a sizable population of Pakistani Americans, and is informally called "Little Pakistan". In 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that approximately 7,000 Pakistanis lived in a region bordering the street, and they made up nearly 10% of the population of the region.

Oscar Robertson Trophy

The Oscar Robertson Trophy is given out annually to the outstanding men's college basketball player by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA). The trophy is considered to be the oldest of its kind and has been given out since 1959.

History
USBWA College Player of the Year was started in 1959, which makes it the oldest running trophy for the college player of the year. The USBWA annually selects a player of the year and All-America teams for both men and women in college basketball. The USBWA men's player of the year award is now called the Oscar Robertson Trophy.

The USBWA also selects a national coach of the year for men and women, with the men's award named after legendary coach Henry Iba. It was renamed after the college and professional legend Oscar Robertson in 1998. Five nominees are presented and the individual with the most votes receives the award during the NCAA Final Four. The Oscar Robertson Trophy, previously known as the Player of the Year Award, was renamed in 1998 because of Robertson's outstanding career (including winning the first two awards) and his continuing efforts to promote the game of basketball. He averaged 32.6 points per game in his sophomore year at Cincinnati.
