Pond River

The Pond River is a  tributary of the Green River in western Kentucky in the United States.  Via the Green and Ohio rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.

The Pond River rises in central Todd County and flows generally north-northwestwardly, along the boundaries of Muhlenberg, Christian, Hopkins and McLean counties to the Green River, which it joins from the south about  west-southwest of the town of Calhoun.

At the common boundary of Christian, Hopkins and Muhlenberg counties, it collects the  West Fork Pond River. Upstream of this confluence, the Pond River has also been known as the East Fork Pond River.

Air Base Ground Defense

Air Base Ground Defense (ABGD) is the operational term used by the United States Air Force to denote ground combat operations in defense of U.S. Air Force bases. This specialty is filled by members of the Air Force Security Forces, who serve not only as military law enforcement officers, but also as ground combat troops in defense of U.S. air bases around the world. In this capacity, their duties are similar to those performed by the RAF Regiment and Royal Air Force Police of the United Kingdom, namely, to conduct ground combat operations as highly trained infantry troops, law enforcement and security in defense of U.S. air bases. Camp Bullis in Texas is where all levels of Air Base Ground Defense (ABGD) are instructed, the course ranges in length from 4–6 weeks. In these weeks of training Air Force Security Forces are taught to operate the following weapons: M4 Carbine, M-9, M-203, M-240B, M-249 (SAW), MK-19, M67 (hand grenade), M18A1 (Claymore mine), and the M-72 (LAW rocket), M-60 as well as other base defense weapons and tools. In 1966-1969, sentry dog teams used the Smith & Wesson K-38 Combat Masterpiece.

Under the Interservice Agreement between the United States Air Force and the United States Army, the U.S. Air Force is responsible for ground combat operations to defend U.S. air bases. Air Force Security Forces fulfill this mission, and, as such, are trained in the whole range of infantry tactics, to include patrolling, close quarters battle, defense in depth, crew-served weapons, and other ground combat tactics.

In the United States Marine Corps the role of ABGD primarily rests with the Low Altitude Air Defense Battalions and Marine Wing Support Squadrons.

Madison Square Garden Bowl

Madison Square Garden Bowl was the name of an outdoor arena in the New York City borough of Queens. Built in 1932, the arena hosted circuses and boxing matches. Its seating capacity was 72,000 spectators on wood bleachers. The idea of the stadium came from boxing promotor Tex Rickard, who died before it was completed.

The Bowl, located at 48th Street and Northern Boulevard in Long Island City, was the site where James J. Braddock defeated Max Baer for the World Heavyweight title on June 13, 1935, a fight later dramatized in the film Cinderella Man. Braddock's first comeback fight against John "Corn" Griffin was also in the venue. Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera also captured the heavyweight crown in the 1930s at the Bowl. But because no titleholder ever successfully defended his title there, the stadium was soon dubbed the "Jinx Bowl".

The Madison Square Garden Bowl was torn down during World War II to make way for a US Army Mail Depot (and also because arena management deemed it more economical to rent baseball stadiums for fights). Metal from the stadium was melted down to make bullets and other war materials, including those to build the Mail Depot. The depot itself was torn down in the 1960s, and the area is now home to a Major World used-car dealership and strip mall.

New Pop Sunday

New Pop Sunday is the third studio album by the American  rock band Sponge, released in 1999 through Beyond Records.

Production
Sponge recorded most of New Pop Sunday while they were still with Columbia Records. The label was not interested in releasing it however, so the band decided to finish the album themselves and released it through Beyond instead.

Critical reception
The Morning Call wrote that "New Pop Sunday includes a mix of subtle, catchy numbers. But there are a few brawny raveups, such as the potent 'Planet Girls' and the hook-laden 'Radio Prayer' [sic]." Trouser Press noted that "lacking Rotting Piñatas hooks and Wax Ecstatics grimy charm, New Pop Sunday is fairly forgettable." 

The Detroit Free Press deemed the album "refreshingly decent," writing that "rough-edged guitars are stretched wide, chiming guitars looped and echoed, vocals reverbed into liquid." The Journal Gazette declared: "Sponge is an imitation of an imitator; they are chronically infatuated with those Pearl Jam-pilferers Stone Temple Pilots." AllMusic wrote that the album "finds the band embracing their pop, hard rock, and arena rock roots, creating an old-fashioned hard rock platter that sounds completely out of step with the late '90s." and noted "In a way, that's refreshing".

Black Hill (California)

Black Hill is a mountain situated in Morro Bay, California, part of Morro Bay State Park. It one of a series of volcanic plugs called the Nine Sisters.

Monterey Pine forest
There is a forest of Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) trees on Black Hill, called Fleming's Forest, planted by John Fleming, a park superintendent. Fleming was working on another project and ordered twice as many trees as he needed, thinking that he would not get his entire order. Nevertheless, he received it in full and used the surplus on Black Hill.

Many of the trees have died or are dying from pine pitch canker, a fungal disease which also threatens the Monterey pine's remnant native groves in Cambria and on the Monterey Peninsula.

Tractics

Tractics: Rules for WWII Miniatures is a set of wargaming rules for conducting World War II style combat with 1:285 scale micro armour miniatures.  It was originally written to use 1/87 scale miniatures which were easily available at the time of its writing.  Written by Mike Reese and Leon Tucker with contributions by Gary Gygax, the game was published by Guidon Games in 1971 and republished by TSR, Inc. in 1975.

Product overview
It came as a boxed set containing three booklets with illustrations by Don Lowry. It has the distinction of being the first published game to use a 20-sided die. TSR printed about 5,000 copies of the game and then let it go out of print in 1977.

The name of the game recalls the popular Avalon Hill board wargame Tactics II (1958).  Although World War II style combat was popular with board wargamers, few miniature wargamers were enacting World War II battles in the mid-1960s, in part because appropriate miniatures were scarce.  In 1968 Reese and Tucker, two members of the LGTSA, began play-testing rules for tank combat that would eventually form the core of Tractics.  Gygax contributed some rules on infantry, covered in the second booklet, and the third booklet would cover additional topics such as airstrikes and the MODERN period (which at the time included rumors of the XM-1 tank).

Mike Reese authorized a new edition December 2021 that combines the Classic Rules of 1971, Modifications of 1976 from Little Wars magazine and his new Updates. It is available from www.combatrules.com/tracticsrules. There is a PDF version and eight identical print versions apart from binding (softcover, hardcover, coil), and shape of game reference charts (landscape or portrait), and interior pages (black ink or full color).

Gameplay
The rules are for the dedicated wargaming enthusiast.  The players must first acquire the miniatures and build the terrain.  Reese and Tucker were interested in an accurate simulation, and as a result the game provides data describing the rate of movement, thickness of armor, and rate of fire for the makes of tank in service from 1940 to 1970.  The game is consequently slower to conduct than a board wargame such as Tactics II.  For miniature wargamers who felt that the amount of detail was excessive, Reese and Tucker recommended their earlier Fast Rules (1970) although that set covered World War II only.

Tractics is not a perfect information game and requires the use of a judge.  A player does not initially know where his enemy is located, and pieces are placed in the playing area only when they come into open view or are detected by active observation.  Tanks have a base 30% chance (i.e. must roll a 15 or higher on a 20-sided die) to hit a target.  Modifiers apply depending upon factors such as how well the target is concealed.

The song charted in March 1975 and reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number twenty three on the UK Singles Chart in June. The tune was similarly well accepted by soft rock stations, reaching the top ten on the Billboard Easy Listening chart as well as on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.

William Veeder

William Veeder (born September 14, 1940) is a scholar of 19th-century American and British literature and a Professor Emeritus in the Department of English at the University of Chicago.

Early life
William Veeder was born on September 14, 1940, in Denver, Colorado to Virginia Holderness and author William H. Veeder. He grew up in Arlington, Virginia.

Education
William Veeder completed his undergraduate studies at Notre Dame, and then spent two years at the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where he earned his Master of Fine Arts. Veeder received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1969, and joined the faculty at the University of Chicago that same year.

Critical methodology
William Veeder’s critical methodology is primarily rooted in psychoanalysis and gender theory, but he is also a strong advocate of close reading, a critical approach whereby “one gets to content through form”. He is guided by a quote from an art criticism essay written by Henry James, in which James asserted, “In the arts, feeling is always meaning.” Veeder begins his classes with this quote, usually underlining the words “always” and "meaning” and capitalizing the word “always.”

Works
Veeder has been working for over 40 years on a historical novel named "Pierce" about Ambrose Bierce and Emma Frances Dawson, which as of 2023 was unpublished.

Old Stanley Police Station

The Old Stanley Police Station () was a police station constructed in 1859 in Stanley, Hong Kong Island. It is now the oldest remaining police station building in Hong Kong, and was declared a monument on 15 January 1984.

The British Army, during the early years of the colonial era, used the station from time to time in conjunction with the police because of its strategic position as the most southerly outpost on Hong Kong Island. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Gendarmerie used the police station as a local headquarters and a mortuary was built onto the building.

After the war, the building reverted to its original use and served as a police station until 1974. Since then, it has had a number of unrelated uses including a sub-office of the Southern District Office, a restaurant, and currently it is used as a Wellcome supermarket.

There have been various attempts to have the government discontinue its commercial use, and to use it for some official function. One recent suggestion was to use it as a branch of the Hong Kong Police Museum.

Visard

A visard (also spelled vizard) is an oval mask of black velvet, worn by travelling women in the 16th century to protect their skin from sunburn. The fashion of the period for wealthy women was to keep their skin pale, because a tan suggested that the bearer worked outside and was hence poor. Some types of vizard were not held in place by a fastening or ribbon ties, and instead the wearer clasped a bead attached to the interior of the mask between their teeth. 

The practice did not meet universal approval, as evidenced in this excerpt from a contemporary polemic:

A visard recovered from inside the wall of a 16th-century building in Daventry, England.

In Venice, the visard developed into a design without a mouth hole, the moretta, and was gripped with a button between the teeth rather than a bead. The mask's prevention of speech was deliberate, intended to heighten the mystery of a masked woman even further.

England and Scotland
A Spanish observer at the wedding of Mary I of England and Philip II of Spain in 1554 mentioned that women in London wore masks, antifaces, or veils when walking outside. In Scotland in the 1590s Anne of Denmark wore masks when horse riding, to protect her complexion from the sun. These were faced with black satin, lined with taffeta, and supplied with Florentine ribbon for fastening and for decoration. At the Union of Crowns in 1603, she travelled to England in June, and it was said she had done "some wrong" to her complexion "for in all this journey she hath worn no mask".

In 1620 the lawyer and courtier John Coke sent clothes and costume from London to his wife at Much Marcle, including a satin mask and two green masks for their children. Visards experienced a resurgence in the 1660s, as Samuel Pepys notes in his diary on June 12, 1663: "Lady Mary Cromwell... put on her vizard, and so kept it on all the play; which of late is become a great fashion among the ladies, which hides their whole face." Later that day, Mr. Pepys bought his wife a vizard.

Shire of Oxley

The Shire of Oxley was a local government area in Victoria, Australia, immediately to the south of the city of Wangaratta, which housed the shire's council chambers. Oxley covered an area of , and existed from 1862 until 1994.

History

The Oxley Road District was incorporated on 21 November 1862, and became a shire on 12 December 1865, after changes to local government legislation. Subsequently, it was divided into Eastern, Central and Western Ridings, each of which elected three councillors.

On 18 November 1994, the Shire of Oxley was abolished, and along with the City of Wangaratta, the Shire of Wangaratta and various surrounding districts, was merged into the newly created Rural City of Wangaratta.

The councillors of the Oxley Shire commissioned Graham Jones to prepare a history of the shire, which was published in 1995 as Memories of Oxley.

Hikaru Utada discography

The discography of Japanese-American R&B and pop singer Hikaru Utada consists of eleven studio albums, three compilation albums, eleven video albums and numerous singles and promotional singles. Utada began as a musician in the early 1990s as a member of U, a family unit made up of her, her mother Junko Utada, also known as 1970s enka singer Keiko Fuji, and her father, musical producer Teruzane Utada. U released their debut album Star in 1993, with the hope to debut in America. In 1996, the group was rebranded as Cubic U, an R&B project focusing on Hikaru Utada, resulting in the English language album Precious in 1998 with record label Toshiba EMI.

Utada continued releasing music with Toshiba EMI, debuting as a Japanese-language musician in December 1998 with the single "Automatic" / "Time Will Tell", and releasing her debut album First Love in 1999. The album was a phenomenal success, becoming the most sold album of all time in Japan. Her second album Distance was released on March 28, 2001, on the same day as singer Ayumi Hamasaki's compilation album A Best. Both sold over three million copies in their first week, becoming the respective highest and second highest selling albums in Japan in a single week.

Before the release of her third album Deep River (2002), Utada signed with American record label Island Def Jam and music corporation Universal to release English language globally. This resulted in her global debut album Exodus (2004), under the mononym Utada.

Utada returned to the Japanese market with her albums Ultra Blue (2006) and Heart Station (2008). Her song "Flavor of Life" (2007), the theme song for the drama Hana Yori Dango Returns, sold over eight million downloads, and became the second most downloaded song globally of 2007 after Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend".

Utada released her second global English album This Is the One in 2009. After a compilation album featuring an extended play of new material, Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 2 (2010), Utada went on an extended hiatus for personal reasons, however she briefly returned to release the song "Sakura Nagashi" for the animated film Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo (2012).

She made her official return in 2016 with the album Fantôme, again to commercial and critical success.

John R. Hetling

John R. Hetling is an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the Richard and Loan Hill Department of Bioengineering and department of ophthalmology and visual sciences. He is also the director of undergraduate studies for the department of bioengineering and the director of the Neural Engineering Vision Laboratory at UIC, and chief science officer of RetMap, Inc. At UIC, Hetling developed the first undergraduate course track in neural engineering, and in 2008, he and his students authored a widely accepted definition of the field.

Education 
After graduating from Bates College in 1989 with a degree in biology, Hetling worked for two years in the neuroelectrophysiology laboratory of Patsy Dickinson at Bowdoin College studying rhythmic motor pattern generation. He then began his PhD at UIC in 1991 in the laboratory of David R. Pepperberg, which he completed in 1997. Following his PhD he did a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at UIC before being named a visiting assistant professor in the department of bioengineering, also at UIC. Hetling began his tenure track faculty position as an assistant professor at UIC in 1998.

Career 
Hetling is an expert on the electrophysiology of vision, with accomplishments in retinal prosthesis and electrical stimulation therapy for retinal disease, leading to invited book chapters in leading Neural Engineering textbooks and earning the Excellence in Neural Engineering Award early in his academic career. He has published extensively in the field. His main impact is the development of new diagnostic technologies for degenerative eye diseases, where he pioneered the idea of examining the peripheral retina for early signs of disease.  He developed the enabling technology behind multi-electrode electroretinography (meERG), with two issued US patents, both under commercial license.  He also developed the enabling technology behind peripheral pattern electroretinography (ppERG), with two international patents pending.

Hetling also co-developed the first odor-detection system capable of identifying airborne odors in real time, and has patents pending for developing technologies related to clinical electrophysiology and therapeutic hypothermia.

Family
He is the brother of journalist Matt Hongoltz-Hetling.

Chumash Peak

Chumash Peak is a  mountain in San Luis Obispo County, California. It is just northwest of San Luis Obispo, on the south side of California State Route 1.

The peak is one of the volcanic plugs known as the Nine Sisters, between Cerro Romauldo to its east and Bishop Peak to its west.

In 1964 the hill was named in recognition of the Chumash Indians who lived in the area due to efforts by Louisiana Dart, curator of the San Luis Obispo County Museum.
Access to the peak is currently unavailable.

The peak was quarried in the 1970s for foundation material in the construction of new buildings on the Cuesta College campus nearby.
