Samuel Kemper

Samuel Kemper (died 1814) was an American adventurer and filibuster.

Filibustering activities
Born in Fauquier County, Virginia, Kemper was involved, along with his brothers Reuben and Nathan Kemper, in the 1804 rebellion against Spanish authorities in West Florida.

Kemper participated in the 1812-13 Gutiérrez-Magee Expedition into Spanish Texas.  He became commander of the force upon the death of Colonel Magee during the siege of La Bahia in February 1813.  Kemper fought in both the victorious Battle of Rosillo Creek and the disastrous Battle of Medina.  He eventually withdrew from the expedition when he lost confidence in the rebellious Mexican leaders.

Theresienwiese

Theresienwiese is an open space in the Munich borough of Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt. It serves as the official ground of the Munich Oktoberfest. A space of , it is bordered in the west by the Ruhmeshalle and the Bavaria statue, symbolizing the State of Bavaria, and in the east by Esperantoplatz, a square named for the international language Esperanto. There, a memorial commemorates the victims of the 1980 Oktoberfest bombing. Bavariaring, an orbital road, provides access to visiting traffic. In the north the towers of the Paulskirche are visible.

History 

The name of the site is derived from the name of Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, the wife of Crown Prince Ludwig I. Their wedding took place on a meadow outside the city walls in 1810 ("Wiese" is German for "meadow"), which thereafter was called "Theresienwiese". Since then, the Oktoberfest is celebrated every year to commemorate this event. In addition to the Oktoberfest, a spring festival and a winter festival ("Winter Tollwood") take place there as well. Every year in April, one of Germany's largest flea markets is also held there.

Location 

The site is located south west of the city centre. It has its own station on the Munich U-Bahn system, on the U4 and U5 lines; the Poccistraße and Goetheplatz stations can be found near the southern end. The nearest Munich S-Bahn station is Hackerbrücke or München Hauptbahnhof (Munich central station).

A98 road

The A98 road is a major coastal road of northeast Scotland passing through Moray and Aberdeenshire. The A98 is no longer a primary route, with this status being removed shortly after the A92 was renumbered A90.

Route 

It originates in the west at Fochabers at a junction with the A96, and proceeds northeast, passing close to Buckie, Findochty and Portknockie before passing through Cullen and Portsoy.

After a junction with the A95 it passes through Banff and Macduff. It then bears southeast and inland for some distance, passing near to the prehistoric monument of Longman Hill; thence it runs close to New Pitsligo before heading northeast to Fraserburgh where it terminates.

Ringdansen

Ringdansen (the Circle dance) is a suburb in the very South of the Swedish city of Norrköping. It is well known for its typical circular houses, inner passages and park areas inside the two blocks. There are two circular blocks called "ringar" (rings) in Swedish: Guldringen (the Golden Ring) in the North, and Silverringen (the Silver Ring) in the South. Originally, two more rings were intended: Järnringen (the Iron Ring) to the South och Silverringen and Kopparringen (the Copper Ring) in the very South. Ringdansen is situated in the larger district of Navestad, with Atrium to the North and Kvarnberget to the South.

The Norrköping tramway system was extended to Ringdansen in 2011. The extension has a length of 4,1 km and is connected to the previous system at the Albrektsvägen/Trozelligatan streets intersection. From there, the line runs to the North of Albrektsvägen, turns 90 degrees to the right near Ljuragatan, continues straight to the south over the Ljura fields, crosses the Söderleden via a new bridge, passes through the North-Western areas of Hageby suburb, serves the Hageby Mall, runs through the Southern parts of Hageby, passes the Navestad Atrium and finally stops in the centre of the Ringdansen area.

WJSZ

WJSZ is an FM radio station operating on 92.5 MHz from Ashley, Michigan, United States,  with 4,000 watts.  The station features a hot adult contemporary format targeting the Owosso, Michigan area.

The call letters were assigned on December 13, 1991 and the station came on the air shortly thereafter with an "Oldies and More" format playing songs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

In 1999 Owosso Broadcasting, the original owners, sold the station to Curwood Broadcasting which repositioned it as Z92.5 "The Castle."  The Castle refers to Curwood Castle, the former home of the writer James Curwood located in Owosso, Michigan.  The station began referred to itself as "All Request Radio" and "Z92.5 The Castle, Playing the Hits You Want to Hear." Eventually the station dropped the "All Request" angle and evolved into a very broad-based Modern Rock/Classic Hits hybrid.

WJSZ ran into financial problems and went into receivership in 2005.  On January 9, 2006 it was purchased by Krol Communications for $650,000. Its format changed to Hot Adult Contemporary "playing the hits of the 80's, 90's and now."  Along with music, the station has a strong emphasis on local news and high school sports. Doing the Friday night Basketball Games and state playoffs are Ted Fattal and Joe Smith, both are Corunna Grads.

WJSZ broadcasts from a 400-foot tower in Ashley, Michigan, with studios in Owosso, Michigan.   Its signal covers the towns of Owosso, Corunna, Chesaning, Durand, Perry, Ashley, St. Johns, and Alma.  With the move in late 2006 of WJZL (now WLMI) from 92.7 MHz to 92.9 MHz, the station can now be heard in Lansing, Michigan.

Weena Morloch

Weena Morloch is a German electronic music project by Samsas Traum frontman Alexander Kaschte. The name Weena Morloch came from the H. G. Wells book The Time Machine ("Weena" is the name of the girl that the unnamed male protagonist develops a close loving relationship with in the future world he travels to, and the name "Morloch" is derived from the Morlocks, the cannibalistic hominids).

Biography 
Weena's first album, Kunst-X=?, was released in 2001. The music was called 'Horror noise Industrial' because music was noise-music orientated and it featured samples from various horror movies (one familiar one being from the movie Phantasm). The album was not well received by the press, and suffered from poor record sales. After taking a year off to concentrate releasing more material under the Samsas Traum name, Kaschte released a follow-up, the more industrial-dance inspired Kadaverkomplex, in 2002.  There was some minor controversy because of the rather disturbing pictures of Alexander covered in blood (the CD initially came with sticker saying the images inside the album were not suitable for minors) and according to earlier version of the Weena Morloch website, the album had been banned in Germany. But, apart from the minor controversy, Kadaverkomplex was a better-crafted album and was more successful, as it was best known for the single Kugel im Gesicht (9 mm) which is often played as the last song at Samsas Traum concerts.

There was a nod to the earlier Kunst material though, such as the eerie "Terror über alles", which was a noise-music take on the events of 11 September, and "Weena Morlock (Der Grammophon – Song)", which took samples from The Time Machine movie, and the beat was entirely composed using a gramophone. According to after Weena Morloch released the EP Epalanepsis the group is currently on hiatus, so Alexander can continue on with Samsas Traum.

Pollution and the Death of Man

Pollution and the Death of Man is an ecological and philosophical work by the American presuppositionalist theologian Francis A. Schaeffer, published in 1970.

Quotations
"...the hippies of the 1960s did understand something. They were right in fighting the plastic culture and the church should have been fighting it too... More than this, they were right in the fact that the plastic culture - modern man, the mechanistic worldview in university textbooks and in practice, the total threat of the machine, the establishment technology, the bourgeois upper middle class - is poor in its sensitivity to nature... As a Utopian group, the counterculture understands something very real, both as to the culture as a culture, but also as to the poverty of modern man's concept of nature and the way the machine is eating up nature on every side".
-Chapter 2

"If God treats the tree like a tree, the machine like a machine, the man like a man, shouldn't I as a fellow-creature, do the same - treating each thing in integrity in its own order? And for the highest reason: because I love God - I love the One who has made it! Loving the Lover who has made it, I have respect for the thing He has made".
-Chapter 4

"The man who believes things are there only by chance cannot give things a real intrinsic value. But for the Christian, there is an intrinsic value. The value of a thing is not in itself autonomously, but because God made it. It deserves this respect as something which was created by God, as man himself has been created by God".
-Chapter 4

I'm Crazy

"I'm Crazy" is a short story written by J. D. Salinger for the December 22, 1945 issue of Collier's magazine. Despite the story's underlying melancholy, the magazine described it as "the heart-warming story of a kid whose only fault lay in understanding people so well that most of them were baffled by him and only a very few would believe in him".

The story is told in first-person narrative mode by Holden Caulfield. Salinger later reworked the story to incorporate it into his classic novel The Catcher in the Rye.

Synopsis
Boarding school dropout Holden Caulfield watches a basketball game from a nearby hill. He then visits his elderly history teacher Mr. Spencer, who lectures him about his academic failure. Holden tells Mr. Spencer about meeting the mother of a "lousy" fellow student on the train and lying to her about how wonderful her son was, which Holden thought would make her feel better. He regrets withdrawing from school mainly because his mother had just sent him ski boots, albeit the wrong kind.

Holden likes Mr. Spencer but realizes that he will receive no sympathy or understanding from him, so he leaves abruptly. He boards a train to New York City and sneaks into his family's apartment, where he talks to his younger sisters Phoebe and Viola. Even Phoebe admonishes him for his academic failure. Holden finally owns up to his parents in a scene that is only described very briefly and indirectly ("When they were all done with me ..."). He concludes that he will not be returned to school but forced into an unpleasant office job.

He entered the NFL draft after his senior year at Michigan.

NFL

After the NFL scouting combine listed him as the number 2 out of 34 linebacker prospects, he was drafted 53rd overall in the second round by the New York Jets, joining his fellow Michigan teammate B. J. Askew (fullback), also drafted by the Jets in 2003.  Hobson lasted five seasons in New York City.

John McCargo

John McCargo (born August 19, 1983) is a former American football defensive tackle. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at North Carolina State. McCargo also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears.

Professional career

Buffalo Bills
Many draft experts considered McCargo a late-2nd or early-3rd round pick before the 2006 NFL Draft.  Because of this, many people were shocked when the Bills traded up to select him in the first round with the 26th overall selection.

McCargo spent most of the 2006 season on injured reserve. He passed out at training camp his rookie season, mainly because he had to run difficult drills in hot weather at his 300-pound frame. He was the second string defensive tackle behind Larry Tripplett in 2007, and played in all 16 games.

On October 14, 2008, McCargo was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for an undisclosed draft pick, having been beaten out in the depth chart by Kyle Williams. However, after failing his physical the following day, the trade was voided and McCargo was returned to the Bills.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
McCargo signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 20, 2011. He was waived on September 2.

On November 8, 2011, the Buccaneers re-signed McCargo to fill a roster void caused by a season-ending injury to Gerald McCoy. McCargo was again cut the next day after the Buccaneers signed Albert Haynesworth.

The Kremenchuk Reservoir (, ) is the largest water reservoir located on the Dnieper River. Named for the city of Kremenchuk, it covers a total area of 2,250 square kilometres in the territories of the Poltava, Cherkasy, and Kirovohrad Oblasts in central Ukraine.

The reservoir is 149 km long, 28 km wide, and has an average depth of six meters. The total water volume is 13.5 km³.
It is mainly used for irrigation, flood control, fishing, and transport within the area. The main ports located on the reservoir are Cherkasy and Svitlovodsk (originally Khrushchev). The Sula River flows into the reservoir, forming a delta with numerous islands.

The reservoir was created in 1959 when the Kremenchuk Hydroelectric Power Plant was built. The body of water flooded the whole Novoheorhivsk Raion with 23 populated places ending up submerged including such historical places like Kryliv, Novoheorhivsk and others.

John Edward Ames

John Edward Ames (born December 30, 1949) is an American writer of novels and short stories from Toledo, Ohio.  A critically acclaimed writer of western fiction, Ames began his career writing for pulp magazines before penning horror novels and stories.  In 1995, Ames' historical novel The Unwritten Order was a finalist for a Western Writers of America Spur Award.

Biography
Raised in Monroe County, Michigan, and educated at Eastern Michigan University, Ames lived in Colorado and New Mexico before settling in 1986 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Ames taught English at Eastern Michigan University, the University of Northern Colorado and the University of New Mexico.  He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1968 and served as a journalist, including seven months as a stringer in Japan for Stars and Stripes.

In 2004 Ames wrote The Real Deadwood, a mix of history and buff lore about Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.  Writing under the pseudonym Judd Cole, Ames wrote the entire twenty-three book Cheyenne series.  Under the same pen name he penned the eight-book Wild Bill series.

Ames fled with most fellow residents of New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina came ashore in 2005, but looming book deadlines forced him to return as soon as possible to his apartment on St. Charles Avenue, where he spent the next six months writing three novels. He contributed to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine New Orleans Relief Issue.

He presently writes under a “house name” for one of the longest-published western series in America and has also written a novel, titled Deadwood Gulch, released in 2006, as Ralph Compton, the deceased "USA Today bestseller of frontier fiction" writer.
