Mills Gardner

Mills Gardner (January 30, 1830 – February 20, 1910) was an attorney, politician and member of the United States House of Representatives from Ohio from 1877 to 1879.

Biography 
Mills Gardner was born in Russellville, Ohio, the son of Seth Gardner, a captain in the War of 1812.  He attended the public schools of Highland County, Ohio and Rankins academy at Ripley, Ohio. He clerked in a dry goods store for some years while reading the law with his uncle Judge Nelson Barrere of Hillsboro, Ohio who was the last Whig candidate for governor of Ohio.   He relocated to Fayette County, Ohio in 1854 and was admitted to the bar in 1855, locating at Washington Court House, Ohio where he built up a large practice.  He was prosecuting attorney of Fayette county for two terms (1855–1859).

Gardner was an original Republican, casting his first vote for John C. Fremont in 1856 and for every nominee of the Republican party for president after that until his death.  He was elected on the Republican ticket to the Ohio Senate in 1861.  In the re-election of Abraham Lincoln in 1864, Gardner was a presidential elector for Ohio.

During the Civil War, when the life of the Republican party and nation was at stake, Mills Gardner took an active and prominent part in rallying public opinion in behalf of the Union, and in exposing the opponents of the national administration, in particular Clement Vallandigham.

In 1865, Mills Gardner was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives. In 1872 he was elected a member of the Ohio constitutional convention.

He was elected to the Forty-fifth congress in 1876 from Ohio's Third district. He declined renomination in 1878 for a second term.

While a public servant, Mills Gardner nevertheless owned land in Washington Court House; in 1875, he sold a new city resident the south-side lot upon which the Jacob Light House was later constructed. Upon leaving office, he resumed the practice of law until his death at Washington Court House.  He is interred there in Washington Cemetery.

Central military commission

A central military commission or national defense commission is an organization typical of socialist one-party states espousing communism responsible for the ruling party's control of the nation's armed forces. In a way, its functions are similar to national security councils. 

Examples of existing CMCs can be found for example in China, North Korea and Vietnam.  In China and North Korea both CMCs are the same and have equal power over the military. But in  Vietnam only the party CMC controls the armed forces.

In Kuomintang-ruled China, there was also a central military commission. This was because the KMT, even though anti-communist ideologically, had modeled itself on the Communist Party of the Soviet Union organizationally as Chiang Kai-shek thought that it was an effective model of organization for a one-party state, as China was at the time.

Apache JServ Protocol

The Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) is a binary protocol that can proxy inbound requests from a web server through to an application server that sits behind the web server. AJP is a highly trusted protocol and should never be exposed to untrusted clients, which could use it to gain access to sensitive information or execute code on the application server.

It also supports some monitoring in that the web server can ping the application server. Web implementors typically use AJP in a load-balanced deployment where one or more front-end web servers feed requests into one or more application servers. Sessions are redirected to the correct application server using a routing mechanism wherein each application server instance gets a name (called a route). In this scenario the web server functions as a reverse proxy for the application server. Lastly, AJP supports request attributes which, when populated with environment-specific settings in the reverse proxy, provides for secure communication between the reverse proxy and application server.

AJP runs in Apache HTTP Server 1.x using the  plugin and in Apache 2.x using ,  and proxy balancer modules together. Other web server implementations exist for: lighttpd 1.4.59, nginx, Grizzly 2.1, and the Internet Information Services.

Web container application servers supporting AJP include: Apache Tomcat, WildFly (formerly JBoss AS), and GlassFish.

History
Alexei Kosut originally developed the Apache JServ Protocol in July 1997 but the version 1.0 specification was published later on July 29, 1998. He also wrote the first implementations of it in the same month, with the releases of the Apache JServ servlet engine 0.9 and the Apache mod_jserv 0.9a (released on July 30, 1997).

The specification was updated to version 1.1 on September 9, 1998. Also in 1998, a revamped protocol was created and published in specification versions 2 and 2.1, however it was never adopted.

In 1999, Sun Microsystems donated their JavaServer Web Development Kit (JSWDK; codenamed Tomcat) reference implementation to Apache Software Foundation. This became Apache Tomcat version 3.0, the successor to JSWDK 2.1, and derailed further development of Apache JServ servlet engine and AJP towards support of Java servlet API version 2.1.

The current specification remains at version 1.3, however there is a published extension proposal as well as an archived experimental 1.4 proposal.

Gregory Strydom

Gregory Mark Strydom (born 26 March 1984) is an international cricketer. He played 12 One Day Internationals (ODIs) for Zimbabwe in 2006, and a number of T20 Internationals (T20Is) for Cayman Islands in 2019.

In 2003–04, playing for Matabeleland, he scored 128 and 104 in a game against Manicaland, an innings which included 16 sixes. Strydom had scored a career best 216 against the same opposition just three weeks earlier. He struggled to succeed in international cricket however, making just one half century in his 12 ODIs for Zimbabwe and failing to score in double figures in seven of them.

Career with Zimbabwe

Kenya tour 2005-06
Strydom made his ODI debut in this 5-match ODI tour of Zimbabwe by Kenya. The final result was 2-2 (the final match was rained off) and Strydom made his debut in the first ODI alongside Duffin, Rinke and Meth.

West Indies tour 2005-06
Strydom was also picked for the 16-man touring party of Zimbabwe's West Indies tour. Zimbabwe lost the 7-match ODI series 5–0. The highlight of Strydom's tour was his 48 at the 5th match at Gros Islet, St Lucia. Zimbabwe went on to lose by 10 wickets but Strydom's 2nd highest score was the meat of Zimbabwe's 152/10. The best moment was his two successive sixes off Dave Mohammed on Mohammed's ODI debut.

Bangladesh series 2006
Strydom was picked for the Zimbabwe squad to play 5 home ODIs against Bangladesh; Zimbabwe won the series 3–2. Strydom's 58 during the 4th ODI was his career best, coming off 58 balls with eight 4s and one 6, helping Zimbabwe to a seven wicket win and secure the series.

ICC Champions Trophy 2006-07
Strydom was picked in the 14-man squad for the 2006-07 ICC Champions Trophy in India. He was put in the team for Zimbabwe's 3rd and final game against Bangladesh after defeats by West Indies and Sri Lanka. He only made 4 before he was clean bowled by Mohammad Rafique as Zimbabwe slipped to 130 all out in 44.4 overs, chasing the 231 set by Bangladesh.

South Africa tour 2006-07
Strydom was picked in Zimbabwe's 16-man squad for the 3 match ODI and 1 match Twenty20 International tour of South Africa. Zimbabwe lost all the games and Strydom failed to make an impact.

Move to the Cayman Islands
In August 2019, he was named in the Cayman Islands cricket team's T20I squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier tournament. He made his T20I debut for the Cayman Islands against Canada on 18 August 2019. He made his international debut for the team against Canada on 18 August 2019, top scoring for the team with 49. He was the leading run-scorer for the Cayman Islands in the tournament, with 97 runs in six matches.

Electronic serial number

Electronic serial numbers (ESNs) were created by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to uniquely identify mobile devices, from the days of AMPS in the United States starting in the early 1980s. The administrative role was taken over by the Telecommunications Industry Association in 1997 and is still maintained by them. ESNs are currently mainly used with CDMA phones (and were previously used by AMPS and TDMA phones), compared to International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers used by all GSM phones.

The first eight bits of the ESN were originally the manufacturer code, leaving 24 bits for the manufacturer to assign up to 16,777,215 codes to mobiles. To allow more than 256 manufacturers to be identified, the manufacturer code was extended to 14 bits, leaving 18 bits for the manufacturer to assign up to 262,144 codes. Manufacturer code 0x80 is reserved from assignment and is used instead as an eight-bit prefix for pseudo-ESNs (pESN). The remaining 24 bits are the least significant bits of the SHA-1 hash of a mobile equipment identifier (MEID). Pseudo-ESNs are not guaranteed to be unique (the MEID is the unique identifier if the phone has a pseudo-ESN).

ESNs are often represented as either 11-digit decimal numbers or 8-digit hexadecimal numbers.  For the decimal format the first three digits are the decimal representation of the first eight bits (between 00 and 255 inclusive) and the next eight digits are derived from the remaining 24 bits and will be between 0000000 and 16777215 inclusive.  The decimal format of pseudo ESNs will therefore begin with 128. The decimal format separately displays eight bit manufacturer codes in the first three digits, but 14 bit codes are not displayed as separate digits. The hexadecimal format displays an ESN as eight digits and also does not separately display 14 bit manufacturer codes which occupy 3.5 hexadecimal digits.

As ESNs have essentially run out, a new serial number format, MEID, was created by 3GPP2 and was first implemented by Verizon in 2006. MEIDs are 56 bits long, the same length as the IMEI and, in fact, MEID was created to be a superset of IMEI. The main difference between MEID and IMEI is that the MEID allows hexadecimal digits while IMEI allows only decimal digits – "IMEI shall consist of decimal digits (0 through 9) only".

The last of the previously unused ESN codes were allocated in November 2008. Applications for assignments were accepted until June 30, 2010 using reclaimed ESN codes, those previously assigned to AMPS or TDMA phones and therefore not present on CDMA2000 systems. Reclaimed codes have also been used for UIMID assignments. Codes are assigned according to industry guidelines.

Although ESN assignments may still occur in the future based on applications received before June 30, 2010, there have not been any assignments made since December 31, 2010.

Arimannia

Arimannia (from Lombard ari-mann, "man of the army", that is "free man active in the army"; akin German "heer-mann") was - during the Lombard domination in Italy - a group of warriors directly subjected to the King.
The aim of an Arimannia was the defence of an important strategic point.

A free-born arimann was also called baro. The residence of a baro was called baronica or arimannia, his wife was a "freifrau" ( frea  or  wirdibora  = "dignified born"), a son from such a relationship was referred to as a "fully legitimate born" (fulboran).

Although documented only from the 8th century CE, the Arimannia is believed to have existed since the Lombard invasion of Italy.

Ichirai

Ichirai (一来, died 1180) was a Japanese warrior monk who supported the Minamoto clan of samurai against their rivals, the Taira clan.

Ichirai-hōshi is best known for his part in the battle of Uji. He was fighting behind Tsutsui Jōmyō Meishū on the Uji bridge, but he could not fight alongside his ally as the beams were so narrow. He is said to have leapt over the other monk, taken over the brunt of the fighting, and continued until he fell.

J. Mike O'Dwyer

James Michael O'Dwyer is an inventor who grew up in Muttaburra, Queensland, Australia, chiefly known for his Metal Storm weapon.

Biography
O'Dwyer completed grade 12 education, then went on to be a manager at Woolworths Limited before his inventions were able to provide an income.

An American company Breeze Technology Holdings has the rights to one of his inventions - air-cooled sneakers.

Metal Storm

O'Dwyer spent 15 years developing a rapid-fire gun prototype called Metal Storm that uses stacked projectiles. Metal Storm can fire up to 1,000,000 rounds per minute, or 16,000 rounds per second, and was declared by Guinness Book of Records to be the world's most intelligent and fastest firearms.
The technology was being commercialised by a company also called Metal Storm, but they requested their shares be suspended from trading on 20 July 2012 and later was placed in voluntary administration.

In late 2015 DefendTex, an Australian-based defence R&D company acquired the intellectual property, trademarks and other assets of Metal Storm.

James Young (Canadian politician)

James Young (May 24, 1835 – January 29, 1913) was an Ontario businessman, journalist and politician. He represented Waterloo South in the House of Commons of Canada as a Liberal member from 1867 to 1878.

Biography

Early life
He was born in Galt in Upper Canada in 1835, the son of Scottish immigrants. He worked with a local newspaper and then bought several newspapers in the area in 1853 which he continued to publish until around 1863. He also wrote articles for other journals in the province. He became a partner in a wheel factory at Galt and also served on the town council.

Family
James Young married Margaret McNaught, daughter of John McNaught and his wife (née Kirkpatrick), on February 11, 1858. The couple resided at "Thornhill" in Galt, Ontario.

Politics
In 1867, he was elected to the 1st Canadian Parliament for Waterloo South as a member of the Liberal Party; he was reelected in 1872 and 1874.

In 1879, he was elected to represent Brant North in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. He was appointed Treasurer and Commissioner of Agriculture in 1883, but resigned these posts later that year due to ill health. He opposed reciprocity in trade with the United States and supported an elected Senate.

Later life
After he retired from politics in 1886, he wrote a number of books dealing with Canadian history and politics, including Public men and public life in Canada, being recollections of parliament and the press, published in 1902. He died in Galt in 1913.

Thomas Sébillet

Thomas Sébillet (1512–1589) was a French jurist, an essayist and a neo-Platonist grammarian. He is now remembered for his Art Poétique (Poetic Art) from 1548, on French verse. He was strongly contradicted later by Joachim du Bellay, whose art poétique became normative. This "decapitation of richesse" led to a centralisation of language, too (additionally to the concentration of political power).

Equally advocate in Parliament, he was a favourite of Michel de l'Hospital, Étienne Pasquier and Pierre de l'Estoile.

Crossclaim

A crossclaim is a claim asserted between codefendants or coplaintiffs in a case and that relates to the subject of the original claim or counterclaim according to Black's Law Dictionary. A crossclaim is filed against someone who is a co-defendant or co-plaintiff to the party who originates the crossclaim. In common law, a crossclaim is a demand made in a pleading that is filed against a party which is on the "same side" of the lawsuit.

U.S. federal courts
In the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure this is codified in Rule 13(g).  In the federal rules, a crossclaim is proper if it relates to a matter of the original jurisdiction.  Proper jurisdiction is determined by a finding of whether the suit that is being initiated arises from the same transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the suit.

Crossclaims, like joinder generally, can promote efficient, consistent resolutions of disputes by permitting all claims arising from the same set of facts to be resolved in a single legal proceeding. This conserves the resources of the parties and the courts, by requiring fewer cases to be filed and litigated. It also reduces the risk of inconsistent results that can arise when multiple actions are based on the same or similar facts. 

Nevertheless, crossclaims in U.S. federal courts are always permissive; that is, they may be raised if they are proper, but they do not have to be, and the failure to assert a crossclaim in a given action will not bar that claim from being litigated in the future. This is different from counterclaims, which are between parties that are already on opposing sides of the lawsuit. Under some circumstances, counterclaims are compulsory and must be brought in the initial action or else will be forfeited.

Raffaëla (album)

Raffaëla is the debut album by the Dutch 2006 Idols winner Raffaëla. The album was released on 21 April 2006 in the Netherlands and contains songs Raffaëla sung during her Idols career. The album also contains two Dutch songs about pregnancy (as Raffaëla was pregnant) and a duet with Floortje Smit, runner-up on Idols. The album debuted at #1 in the Dutch Mega Album Top 100, but quickly dropped out of the top 20.

Singles information
The first single released from the album was Right Here, Right Now (My Heart Belongs to You), covered from Agnes Carlsson, winner of the Swedish Pop Idol. The song was released the day after the Idols final for digital download only. Three days later, Sony BMG had announced that the song was downloaded over 40,000 times, certifying the single gold before its release: the first time something like this happened. A week after the final, the song was certified platinum, meaning over 80,000 copies were downloaded already. On 17 March 2006, the CD single was released, debuting and peaking at the number one position in the Dutch Top 40 (national Dutch chart, similar to the Billboard Hot 100). "Right Here Right Now" remains her most successful single to date. The second single "Mijn Houten Hart", recorded with Paul de Leeuw, flopped commercially. The single was released on 9 June 2006 and received little promotion. A music video was made for the song, showing Raffaëla and De Leeuw recording the song in a studio, but due to Raffaëla's pregnancy she was unable to further promote the song. The song entered the Dutch Mega Top 100 Singles at #63, rose up to #18 the following week and dropped again to #33 in its third week.

UFO (ride)

The UFO is an amusement park ride designed by HUSS Maschinenfabrik in 1978, based on the company's Enterprise and Skylab amusement rides. Numerous carnivals feature this ride which is known as Alpha One Peeters and Vertical Limits.

Design and operation
The UFO consists of twelve, four-person gondolas, mounted in a circle around a central drive hub. This hub is in turn connected to a hydraulic arm. The ride is rotated to produce enough centrifugal force to stick the riders to the wall of the gondola furthest from the centre. Once this is achieved, the hydraulic arm is used to move the entire ride from the horizontal position to near-vertical. The time between the ride beginning to spin and the ride reaching near-vertical is approximately sixty seconds. The ride must be lowered back to the horizontal position before the rotation can cease.

There are no safety restraints on the UFO; the centrifugal force is strong enough to prevent riders from experiencing any major movement while the ride is not at horizontal, and in the event of a rotational or power failure, the size and spacing of the bars that make up the gondola 'cage' (along with enforced height and safety restrictions), prevents riders from falling out.

Nevertheless, minimum rider height requirement is usually  or taller, as much as some extreme roller coasters.

Appearances
There are believed to be very few UFOs operating worldwide.
 Canada - One; Wilde Knight Mares at Canada's Wonderland.
 South Africa - One; The UFO at Gold Reef City.
 France - One; UFO traveling throughout France.
 The Netherlands - One; Alpha 1 traveling throughout Germany.
 United Kingdom  - One; Vertical Limit is/was traveling throughout the United Kingdom by John Wesseldine. It had previously operated at Flamingo Land Resort.

Past Appearances
USA - Two; UFO at Darien Lake (Operated from 1980-2012) and UFO at Lagoon (Operated from 1982-1982)
Australia - One; Flying Saucer at Luna Park Sydney (Operated from 1995-2013)
Sweden - One; UFO at Liseberg (Operated from 1981-1986)
United Kingdom - Two; UFO at Flamingo Land Resort (Operated from 1995-2004) and UFO 2000 at West Midland Safari Park (Operated from 1986-19??)

Hermann Wendland

Hermann Wendland (October 11, 1825 in Herrenhausen – January 12, 1903 in Hanover) was a German botanist and gardener.

He was a noted authority on the family Arecaceae (palms), on which he published a major monograph which formed the basis for the modern classification of the family, including many of the generic names currently in use.

The South American palm genus Wendlandiella is named after him.
