Smith Fieldhouse

The George Albert Smith Fieldhouse is a 5,000 seat multi-purpose arena in Provo, Utah. Built in 1951, it is the home of the Brigham Young University Cougars volleyball teams and most home gymnastics meets. It was named for George Albert Smith, the eighth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who died the year the fieldhouse opened.  Prior to the Marriott Center opening in 1971 it was home to the basketball teams.  At that time, the arena held 10,500 people. Smith Fieldhouse also has a track and several offices used by BYU's athletic department.

The Smith Fieldhouse hosted the 2009 NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship.  It held the first round of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship twice, in 1960 and 1970, and the West Regionals in 1962, 1963 and 1965.

Amiens station

Amiens station (locally known as: Gare du Nord) is the main railway station for the Northern French city of Amiens.

History
The station opened on 15 March 1847 when the line to Abbeville started passenger operations. It was razed by German shelling in World War I, rebuilt, then destroyed again by the Allied forces during World War II and replaced by the present structure built in 1955 by Auguste Perret. A tower called the Tour Perret was built at the same time close to the station. The station district's buildings were collectively registered as a historic monument in 2004.

Amiens is both a terminus and a through station. A concourse was built over the six platforms to facilitate passenger movement. Although the station front was built between adjoining buildings, the hall is as big as its Parisian counterparts.

Services

The station is served by the local TER Normandie and TER Hauts-de-France services to destinations that include Rouen, Calais, Lille, Reims, Compiègne and Paris-Nord. The station is not served by the TGV (high-speed train), but there is currently a bus service between Amiens and the Haute-Picardie TGV station.

Thomas J. Frericks Center

The Thomas J. Frericks Center is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Dayton, Ohio. It is the home of the University of Dayton Flyers volleyball teams.

History

Before 1950, the Flyers men's basketball team played its home games at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds Coliseum. On May 3, 1949, the university broke ground on a $600,000 on-campus basketball facility at the corner of Alberta and L streets. Completed the following year, the facility could seat 5,800 patrons for basketball. The Fieldhouse served as Dayton's home court from 1950 to 1969, with the Flyers compiling a 256-33 record in the facility.

Upon completion of the UD Arena, the Fieldhouse served as a training facility for sports teams, a recreation complex for UD students and office space for the athletic department. In 1975, the Physical Activities Center was built and joined to the south side of the Fieldhouse. In the late 1980s, the University renovated the interior of the facility and updated the western external facade of the Fieldhouse. Following the death of longtime athletic director Tom Frericks, the university renamed the Fieldhouse in his honor.

Current Use

The Frericks Center is the third-largest volleyball-only venue in the NCAA with a seating capacity of 5,000. In 2004, the university completed a seating renovation and environmental graphics package. The facility also houses volleyball administrative offices.

Canadian Internal Waters

Canadian Internal Waters is a Canadian term for the waters "on the landward side of the baselines of the territorial sea of Canada."

Definition
The baselines are defined as "the low-water line along the coast or on a low-tide elevation that is situated wholly or partly at a distance not exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea of Canada from the mainland or an island," and the territorial sea is defined as extending  from the points of the baselines, or such other points as may be prescribed.

Canada asserts that all waters within the bounds of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, including the Northwest Passage, are within its internal waters. They also include the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Strait of Georgia, Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy.

Canada insists that her internal waters are delimited in accordance with the rules laid out in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Dispute

The legal status of a section of the Northwest Passage is disputed: Canada considers it to be part of its internal waters, fully under Canadian jurisdiction according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. However, the  United States has not accepted the international convention. The US and most maritime nations  consider the area to be an international strait,
which means that foreign vessels have the right of "transit passage".  In such a régime (i.e., mode of management), Canada would have the right to enact fishing and environmental regulation, fiscal and smuggling laws, and laws intended for the safety of shipping, but not the right to close the passage.

Ayibobo

Ayibobo is a mizik rasin band from New York, New York, USA.  Ayibobo is one spelling of a Haitian Creole word that means "amen" or "hallelujah". However, the majority of mainstream Christian Haitians refrain from using the word Ayibobo as it is more commonly used among Vodou practitioners. Therefore, "Amen" and Hallejujah or "Alelouya", in its creole spelling, are used by mainstream Christians and "Ayibobo" are for those that practice Vodou.

Although the band is from New York, most of the band members are Haitian or Haitian-American, and the musical style of the band adopted was inspired by the mizik rasin movement then being suppressed in Haiti by the military junta of Raoul Cédras.  The band released one album, Freestyle, in 1993.

Todd Trainer

Todd Trainer is the drummer for the band Shellac.  He also performs as a solo artist under the name Brick Layer Cake. He previously played drums for the bands Breaking Circus and Rifle Sport, and he played drums with Scout Niblett in 2005.

Personal life
Trainer resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota and maintains close ties to his parents and sister Terri. His Italian greyhound Uffizi inspired the title of Shellac's fourth studio album Excellent Italian Greyhound. He and his dog, along with his band Shellac, were featured in an episode of  Dogs 101 in 2009 centered on Italian Greyhounds.

Drumming style
Critics generally have favored Trainer's primitive approach to rock drumming. A review in The New York Times of a 2001 Shellac performance described the "stubborn crack and thud of Todd Trainer's drums", and critic Brent DiCrescenzo wrote that "Trainer beats his drums so primally, you'd swear he's only wearing a loincloth." A review in Spin of the Shellac album Terraform declared that Trainer "gracefully resurrects the lost art of the [John] Bonham stomp".

Brick Layer Cake
Brick Layer Cake is the solo project of Todd Trainer, who plays every instrument and sings in a deep, spoken word monotone.  The music of Brick Layer Cake features very slow tempos and "drone-like" compositions, which Steve Albini described as follows: “Think of Nick Drake on downers fronting Black Sabbath, if Black Sabbath played only the good parts of their songs."

Westmoor

Westmoor is a school which goes through preschool to 5th grade it located on cherry lane. It recently went under construction starting in 2014. The school first started resorting the 4-5th grade hall ways. In the summer of 2014 they repainted all the walls and removed all of the carpet. The reason for this is that the carpets were moldy and were going to cause a problem later on. Late 2014 westmoor's principal Dr. Finch announced that the school was going to remake the playground. The back of the school was still under construction. In result the school had to put fences for safety reasons. Middle of 2015 they removed half of the playground to make room for a spider web and spin top. Construction was finally finished the last week before the school year ended on June 5, 2015. A big edition to the school is the new preschool rooms on the east side of the school it used to be a kindergarten class's playground and classrooms. The kindergartens now have 2 rooms on another side of the building.

R v Burlingham

R v Burlingham, [1995] 2 S.C.R. 206 is a leading decision on the Supreme Court of Canada on the right to counsel under section 10(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the exclusion of evidence under section 24(2).

Background
Terrence Burlingham was arrested for the October 1984 murders of Denean Worms and Brenda Hughes in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Over a period of four days, he was interrogated by police despite his continued request to see a lawyer. During the interrogation, the police suggested that his parents would be hurt by delaying things and made disparaging remarks about the accused's lawyer. The police later offered to reduce the charge to second degree murder if Burlingham were willing to disclose the location of the murder weapon. Eventually, he agreed and took them to the location where he had hidden the gun that was used to kill Hughes.  The crown, however, had not consented to the deal and did not follow through with the bargain. The trial judge found that the deal was an honest mistake. However, since Burlingham did not have access to a lawyer, his rights under section 10(b) were violated. Despite the violation, the murder weapon and several incriminating statements were still admitted.  Burlingham was convicted of first degree murder.

The British Columbia Court of Appeal upheld the decision with McEachern C.J. in dissent.

Opinion of the Court
In a six to one decision, the Court found that the evidence should be excluded under section 24(2) of the Charter and overturned the conviction.

On the matter of the use of section 24(2) Iacobucci emphasized:

Chi Draconis

Chi Draconis (χ Dra, χ Draconis, Chi Draconis) is a magnitude 3.6 binary star in the constellation Draco. It also has the Flamsteed designation 44 Draconis.  At a distance of 27 light years, it is one of the forty or so closest stars.

Binary system

χ Draconis is a spectroscopic binary which has been resolved using speckle interferometry.  The primary is an F7 main sequence star.  The spectral type of the companion cannot be determined directly with an accuracy, but is known to be between G8 and K2 and is assumed to be K0.  The properties of the secondary suggest that it is also a main-sequence star.  The separation of the two stars varies between about  and  during the eccentric 182-day orbit.

The primary star has a mass fractionally higher than the Sun's, but is significantly larger and hotter resulting in it being 86% more luminous.  Its age is estimated to be about five billion years.

The secondary only has about three-quarters the mass of the Sun and is both cooler and smaller.  It is only about 29% as luminous.  It is calculated to be 2.13 magnitudes fainter than the primary, so it would be of sixth magnitude if visible alone.

Visual companions
Multiple star catalogues list faint widely-separated visible companion stars: a 12th-magnitude star and a 14th-magnitude star about  from χ Draconis, but only about  from each-other.  Both have much smaller parallaxes than χ Draconis and are likely to be unrelated background objects.

First Lift Station

The First Lift Station is a pump station in Mission, Texas, that once provided water for irrigating the crops of the early Rio Grande Valley. In 1907 John J. Conway and James W. Hoit began the Mission Canal Co. Irrigation system, which was instrumental in the early agricultural growth of the area. Here, they built the first pump station. The pump was powered by steam produced by wood-fired boilers. The chimney, which still stands at the site, was made out of handmade brick from Madero. It is 106 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter. The top of the chimney has a double row of bricks that form a partial design, but the top was never completed. The chimney was dedicated as a Texas Historic Landmark by the Texas Historical Commission in 1985.

The boilers began operation in 1907 and the lift station started to pump water from the Rio Grande.  Wood was used in units of 2 to 3 cords (7 to 11 m³) and a crew of 26 men with teams of mules worked around the clock to keep the boilers fed.

The plant was later operated by John H. Shary and by Hidalgo County Water Control and Improvement Districts No. 7 and No. 14. The property was developed for recreational use after dams and a new pumping plant were built upstream in the late 1950s. The chimney is still standing at the site of Chimney Park.

Donald Laverdure

Donald "Del" Laverdure (Crow Tribe of Montana/Chippewa.{) was the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs at the Department of the Interior and also served as the Acting Assistant Secretary, overseeing the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education.  He is also a former assistant professor of Law & Director of the American Indian Law Program at Michigan State University College of Law.  He has served as Chairman of the Crow Nation Judicial Ethics Board, and Appellate Judge of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community.

Background 
Donald "Del" Laverdure is an enrolled citizen of the Crow Tribe of Montana and a direct descendant of the Little Shell Band of Chippewa Indians. He was born at Crow Agency, Montana, and grew up on the Crow Indian Reservation. His mother was full-blood Crow, and his father was Ojibwe. Both fluently spoke the Crow language.

Career 
Laverdure has testified before the Parliament of Canada on issues such as self-governance legislation and the Crow Tribal Legislature on water rights, tobacco taxes, and tribal tax legislation. Prior to joining the Michigan State University College of faculty, Laverdure was executive director of the Great Lakes Indian Law Center at the University of Wisconsin Law School.

Laverdure served as the Chief Justice of the Crow Tribe Court of Appeals.

On April 27, 2012, upon the retirement of Larry Echo Hawk, Laverdure became the Acting Assistant Secretary, where he oversaw the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Indian Education and several other offices. Laverdure served in this role for almost five months until President Barack Obama 's new nominee for Assistant Secretary, Kevin K. Washburn, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in September 2012, and took office in early October of that year.

One of Laverdure's major accomplishments in his various roles at the Department of the Interior was shepherding new leasing regulations through the regulatory reform process. Among other improvements, the new leasing regulations provided for pre-emption of state taxation of commercial activities on leased Indian lands and greater deference to tribes in the decision-making process.

Narol (Hasidic dynasty)

Narol is a dynasty of Hasidic rebbes originally based in the village of Narol, W. Galicia (now Poland).

The Naroler dynasty was founded by Rabbi Yaakov Reinman (1778–1814) (b. 5538, d. 4 Tamuz 5574 on the Hebrew calendar), who served as rabbi of Radichow, Kozowa and Holishits before being appointed to the rabbinate of Narol.

The late Naroler Rebbe, Rabbi  was born on the 25th of Elul 5667 (1907), and at the time of his death was one of the oldest living Hasidic rebbes. He was a Belzer chasid. In 1927, at the age of 20, he was appointed as the 20th Rabbi of Narol. He married the daughter of Rabbi Meshulam Zalman Yosef Zilberfarb of Toporow (now Toporiv); they had a son Aharon and a daughter Malka who perished in World War II, and a son Dov Berish who is the present Naroler Rebbe.

He survived World War II in Siberia; then resided in Antwerp, Lower East Side, Manhattan, Crown Heights and finally, for the last 30 years of his life, in Bnei Brak, Israel. He died on 18 Tamuz 5767 (July 4, 2007) at the age of 99; having been the Naroler rebbe for 80 years.

The present Naroler Rebbe, Rabbi Berish Shapiro, is the only surviving son of Rabbi Chaim Myer Yechiel. He resided in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn, New York, but now lives in B'nei Brak, Israel. He is a prominent board member of Kolel Chibas Yerushalayim. His son, , is active in the Jewish community of Stamford Hill, London. The UK Mincha Guide is just one of his projects. Other children of the Naroler Rebbe include Rabbis Aharon Shapiro, Naroler Rav, and Zalman Shapiro, and the Koidanover Rebbetzin.

Other descendants of the Narol dynasty include Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Reinman, an acclaimed scholar and author, and son of Rabbi Arye Leib Reinman of Narol.
