Guy of Hauteville

Guy of Hauteville (Italian Guido d'Altavilla; died 5 July 1108) was an Italo-Norman soldier and diplomat who for a time served the Byzantine Empire.

Guy was a younger son of Robert Guiscard, Duke of Apulia, and his second wife, Sichelgaita. During his father's expedition against the Byzantine Empire in 1081, he occupied Vlorë in Albania. He was present at his father's death in Greece on 17 July 1085.

After his father's death, Guy entered the service of his erstwhile enemy, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos. According to the emperor's daughter, Anna Komnene, he was drawn to Byzantine service by certain promises made by Alexios. At the Byzantine court, Guy became one of Alexios' most trusted councilors and was rewarded with the rank of sebastos. In August 1096, he helped negotiate between the Alexios and the leaders of the First Crusade, even serving as a hostage for the emperor's good faith during the dealings with Godfrey of Bouillon. Guy was with the Byzantine army campaigning in Asia Minor when, at Philomelium around 20 June 1098, it was met by the nominal leader of the Crusade, Stephen, Count of Blois, who reported that the siege of Antioch was going very badly.

In 1108, Guy was with his half-brother, Bohemond, when the latter attacked Byzantine Dyrrachium. Defeated, Bohemond sued for peace and during the negotiations Guy was entrusted with keeping the Byzantine hostages. He returned to Italy shortly after and died there on 5 July 1108, as recorded in the necrology of the Cathedral of San Matteo in Salerno.

Republic of Korea Reserve Forces

The Republic of Korea Reserve Forces (ROKRF; ; Hanja: 大韓民國 豫備軍, Daehanminguk Yebigun), also known as the ROK Reserve Forces, is the 3,100,000-strong reserve force of South Korea.

There are two major branches of the Reserve Forces: the Mobilization Reserve Forces (Korean: 동원예비군, Hanja: 動員豫備軍; Dongwon Yebigun) and the Homeland Reserve Forces (Korean: 향토예비군, hanja: 鄕土豫備軍; Hyangto Yebigun), a Home Guard type force. Soldiers who have completed their service in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces are automatically transferred to the Reserve Forces and must first serve 4 years in the Mobilization Reserve and then 4 years as an Homeland Reservist. During wartime, about 5 divisions would be formed under the Mobilization Reserves, and deployed to the war zone to provide support and regional stabilization. In the meantime, the Homeland Reserve would defend the homeland from any possible attacks from the enemy.

History 
The Homeland Reserve Force was established in April 1968 as part of a nationwide program to increase emergency defense capabilities in response to increased North Korean infiltration. In January 1968, a North Korean commando unit infiltrated Seoul and attacked the Blue House Presidential residence in an attempt to assassinate South Korean dictator Park Chung Hee. That same month, two additional North Korean commando units launched attacks on towns on the Korean east coast in attempts to create an insurgency.

Civil defense 
In 1980 there were over 90,000 civil defense personnel in the country. By 1990 there were more than 3.5 million civil defense personnel in reserve. Their missions included air raid defense, search and rescue missions, building and road repair. Most of the units are now stationary since the threat of north korean attacks are not increasingly present. However, some units still maintain active training duties, and can be spotted in military installations

Norwegian Society

The Norwegian Society (Norske Selskab) was a literary society for Norwegian students in Copenhagen active from 1772 to 1813. Its members included authors, poets and philosophers. The Norwegian Society was formed in 1772 by Ove Gjerløw Meyer. Their meeting place was Madame Juel's Coffeehouse (madame Juels Kaffehus) in the Læderstræde.

It was a gentlemen's club, with the exception of the waitress Karen Bach and the poet Magdalene Sophie Buchholm, and the meetings were lively with speakers, song and discussion, poetry recitation improvisations and relatively significant intakes of punch. The club considered itself culturally conservative and devoted to the rationalistic empirical style of Ludvig Holberg.

The members of the Norwegian Society are often viewed as playing a central role in the wakening of Norwegian patriotic awareness at the close of the 18th century. Many of the poems and plays had patriotic themes. The society was discontinued in 1813 after the battle was won to establish the first Norwegian university, but a new gentlemen's club with the same name started in 1818.

Lembah Beringin

Lembah Beringin is a township in Hulu Selangor District, Selangor, Malaysia. It is accessible from the PLUS Highway, 50 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur, 15 minutes from Tanjung Malim, 10 minutes from Kerling town, and 25 minutes from Bukit Beruntung. The district capital of Kuala Kubu Bharu, the gateway to Fraser's Hill, is 20 minutes away.

The township is under the jurisdiction of Hulu Selangor Municipal Council.

History

The development of the 6,800-acre (2,720-hectare) Bandar Baru Lembah Beringin began in 1994 with the launch of 2,300 units of houses of various types, comprising bungalows, semi-D, terrace houses, and shophouses. It was developed by Land & General through a subsidiary company, Lembah Beringin Sdn. Bhd. The company faced financial difficulties and Lembah Beringin Sdn. Bhd. was liquidated in 2006.

Over the years, more and more people have moved in, attracted by the cheap rent and cheap property prices. A single-story 3-bedded terrace house can be purchased for RM 50,000 (2015).

Lembah Beringin was home to SSG Beringin Golf Club, an 18-hole, 5,897 m, par 72 courses designed by Ted Parslow. The golf club has ceased operations due to effects of COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. Kolej Yayasan UEM, a fully residential college, is also located in this township. KYUEM, established in 1998, offers A-Levels courses to prepare students for university education.

To cater to the increasing population, a primary school, Sekolah Kebangsaan Lembah Beringin, was built. In 2012, a surau and a futsal court were added adjacent to the school. A new 15 km water pipeline from Kerling, Selangor to Lembah Beringin in Hulu Selangor was completed in 2014.

Ghost Town

The tragedy started in the 1990s when Malaysia's economy was thriving. Many developers rushed to building projects and buyers were eager to buy up anything they could get their hands on. Driven by the rumors that the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) was going to be built around the Hulu Selangor district, developers started to build projects across the area including Lembah Beringin, Sungai Buaya, and Bukit Beruntung. However, the KLIA ended up being built at Sepang, 100km away from the area. The crisis soon started in the late 1990s with the Asian Financial Crisis 1997 that shook the whole region including Malaysia. The Lembah Beringin Sdn. Bhd. company was among the ones who had been hit hard by this crisis. Soon the development of Lembah Beringin was halted even though the project was supposed to be completed by 1998. On 31 December 2001, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) has classified Bandar Baru Lembah Beringin as an abandoned project. It was estimated more than 1000 buildings were on the brickwork stage had to be left unfinished in that area.

Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank

The Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank () is a bank of the Republic of China, currently based in Taipei, Taiwan.

In 1915, it was founded by Chen Guangfu (K. P. Chen) in Shanghai, China. Chen became the first president, and The-Chin Chuang was elected first chairman.

Early years
The bank was established in Shanghai in 1915 by Chen Guangfu, a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance and one of the most successful Chinese bankers of the 20th century.

In 1931, the Bank completed the construction of its head office building in Shanghai, which was the most modern banking edifice in China at that time. The bank started its business with a capital of less than 100,000 silver dollars and with a workforce of four. In 1934, the bank had become the nation's top private bank, with over 2,700 employees and over 110 branches.

World War 2 
During World War II, the bank, with a new board of directors and supervisors, moved its head office to Chongqing, the wartime capital of Chinese resistance. The head office remained in Chongqing until the end of the war. In addition, the bank extended its banking network from the southeastern, middle, and northern parts of the country, to the southwestern and northwestern parts. Due to political reasons, the bank was forced to shut down in 1950.

Post-war 
In 1954, the bank accompanied the government to Taiwan and was allowed to establish its head office in Taipei to prepare for the resumption of business.

It was not until June 1965 that the bank was approved to restart its operation in Taipei with a capital of NT$15 million. Chen was the chairman, and the bank was the only private mainland bank to relocate to Taiwan. During the resumption, the bank acted conservatively.

The Savings Department and Kaohsiung Branch were set up in 1966 and 1971, respectively.

Jerry Lott

Jerry Lott, also known as Marty Lott and The Phantom (January 30, 1938 – September 4, 1983) was an American rockabilly singer.

Life and career
Lott was born Jerry Lottis in Prichard, Alabama, and grew up in Leakesville, Mississippi. During his early performing career, he often called himself "Marty". According to a 1980 interview, he played country music until 1956, when Elvis Presley "turned his head around".

He recorded "Love Me" and the ballad "Whisper My Love" in 1958, and persuaded Pat Boone to listen to the demo. Boone had the idea of the unknown calling himself The Phantom after the comics character and wearing a mask, and Dot released the single, Dot 45–16056, in January 1960. The songwriting credit for both is M. Lott.

"Love Me" is distinct from the song "Love Me" recorded by Elvis in 1956. Lott said in the interview that he went into the studio after working for months on "Whisper Your Love" but without a song for the other side of the record, and "[s]omeone suggested I wrote something like Elvis ... 'See if you spark rock 'n' roll a little bit'". On the second take, the one that was used, he "blew one of the controls off the wall". The song was rerecorded by The Blue Cats in 1981 for their second LP. 'Love Me' was also covered by The Cramps and The Bananamen, a side project of British Rockabilly band The Sting-rays.

Lott was paralyzed in a car accident in 1966 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and died in 1983 at the age of 46.

La petite mort

(; "the little death") is an expression that means "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness" and in modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death."

The first attested use of the expression in English was in 1572 with the meaning of "fainting fit." It later came to mean "nervous spasm" as well. The first attested use with the meaning of "orgasm" was in 1882. In modern usage, this term has generally been interpreted to describe the post-orgasmic state of unconsciousness that certain people perceive after having some sexual experiences.

More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm or to a short period of melancholy or transcendence as a result of the expenditure of the "life force". Literary critic Roland Barthes spoke of  as the chief objective of reading literature, the feeling one should get when experiencing any great literature.

The term  does not always apply to sexual experiences. It can also be used when some undesired thing has happened to a person and has affected them so much that "a part of them dies inside." A literary example of this is found in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles when he uses the phrase to describe how Tess feels after she comes across a particularly gruesome omen after meeting with her own rapist:

She felt the petite mort at this unexpectedly gruesome information, and left the solitary man behind her.

The term "little death", a direct translation of , can also be used in English to essentially the same effect. Specifically, it is defined as "a state or event resembling or prefiguring death; a weakening or loss of consciousness, specifically in sleep or during an orgasm," a nearly identical definition to that of the original French. As with , the earlier attested uses are not related to sex or orgasm.

Succinic anhydride

Succinic anhydride, is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH2CO)2O.  This colorless solid is the acid anhydride of succinic acid.

Preparation
In the laboratory, this material can be prepared by dehydration of succinic acid. Such dehydration can occur with the help of acetyl chloride or phosphoryl chloride, or thermally.

Industrially, succinic anhydride is prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride.

Reactions
Succinic anhydride hydrolyzes readily to give succinic acid:
(CH2CO)2O + H2O → (CH2CO2H)2
With alcohols (ROH), a similar reaction occurs, delivering the monoester:
(CH2CO)2O + ROH → RO2CCH2CH2CO2H

Succinic anhydride is used in acylations under Friedel-Crafts conditions, as illustrated by the industrial route to the drug Fenbufen.

Related compounds

Maleic anhydride undergoes the Alder-ene reaction with alkenes to give alkenylsuccinic anhydrides. Such compounds are sizing agents in the paper industry. In this role, the anhydride is proposed to form an ester with the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose fibers. Maleic anhydride undergoes a similar reaction with polyisobutylene to give polyisobutylenylsuccinic anhydride, a common building block chemical in the petroleum additives industry.

Dendrochirotida

Dendrochirotida are an order of sea cucumbers. Members of this order have branched tentacles and are suspension feeders. Examples include Thyonella and Cucumaria.

Characteristics
Holothurians in this order are characterised by ten to thirty much branched tentacles which are sometimes digitate. They also have ring structures composed of ten calcareous plates circling the pharynx. They have both retractor and introvert muscles which means they can retract the tentacles into the mouth when not feeding. The body wall is either firm with large ossicles or of a soft consistency with few ossicles. In some genera the animals attach themselves to hard surfaces but in others they burrow into soft sediments. Prey is captured by the sticky tentacles and transferred to the mouth. The larvae are lecithotrophic, not feeding on plankton but surviving only on materials already present in the eggs until they settle and become juveniles.

Luke Hudson

Luke Stephen Hudson (born May 2, 1977) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He played professionally with the Cincinnati Reds and the Kansas City Royals.

Amateur career
Hudson was born in Fountain Valley, California and graduated from Fountain Valley High School. He played college baseball at the University of Tennessee. In 1996, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox and was named a league all-star.

Professional career
Drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 4th round of the 1998 Major League Baseball draft, Hudson would make his Major League Baseball debut with the Cincinnati Reds on July 1, 2002. He did not pitch in the majors in 2003, but he made it back with the Reds in 2004, when he had a brief but successful stint in which he had a 4-2 record and a 2.42 ERA in nine starts. In 2005, he struggled, going 6-9 with a 6.38 ERA. He was released by the Reds on March 9, 2006 before being acquired by the Kansas City Royals on March 13.

Hudson began the 2006 season pitching for the Kansas City Royals as a reliever. However, he struggled, going 1-3 with a 7.24 ERA while allowing 11 ER over 13 IP. He was converted to a starter, and he did well initially, going 4-0 with a 3.68 ERA in his first six starts. However, on August 13, in his seventh start with the team, Hudson had easily the worst start of his career, surrendering 11 runs, 10 of them earned, over just 1/3 of an inning against the Cleveland Indians. The Indians scored seven runs before making an out, one shy of the major league record of eight, and they scored the eighth through eleventh runs when Hudson gave up a grand slam to Travis Hafner, Hafner's Major League record-tying sixth grand slam of the season. After the rough outing against Cleveland, Hudson finished the 2006 season by going 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA over his last eight starts.

In 2007, Hudson remained with the Royals, but was hampered by injuries, including two separate trips to the 15-day disabled list. He had only one appearance, giving up five runs in two innings on May 10 in a 17-3 loss to the Oakland A's. He underwent right shoulder surgery in June, ending his season.

Due to a slow recovery from the surgery, Hudson again began the 2008 season on the disabled list, and on April 1, , he announced his retirement.

Personal
Hudson's father, Bill, a very talented water-colorist, owns an art materials company in California; Luke works as director of marketing in the off season. Luke's brother Will operates the business and can be seen playing softball with brother, Brian, and sisters Kim, Liz, and Sara on the team "Forfeit Please" in Fountain Valley.

Florida State Road 736

Locally known as Davie Boulevard, State Road 736 (SR 736) is a  long commuter highway serving central Broward County, Florida, USA.  It extends from its western terminus at an intersection with US 441-SR 7 in Fort Lauderdale to the eastern terminus being an intersection with South Federal Highway (US 1-SR 5) in Fort Lauderdale.

Route description
State Road 736 begins on Davie Boulevard at the intersection with US 441, with SR 736 heading east through a mix of commercial and residential areas in Fort Lauderdale.  Two miles east of the western terminus, SR 736 has an interchange with Interstate 95 and continues through a residential area before crossing a drawbridge over a canal.  East of the canal, it continues through the residential areas approaching central Fort Lauderdale.  East of the railroad tracks, SR 736 also becomes known as SE 12th Street and becomes a more commercial route as it quickly approaches its eastern terminus of US 1.

West of US 441, the road extends west as Peters Road and extends for  to an intersection with Pine Island Road in Plantation.

History
The route was originally designated State Road 82 by the State Road Department, the forerunner of Florida Department of Transportation.  In the 1980s, FDOT extended the State Road designation  westward from US 441 along Peters Road and gave the State Road its current designation.  In the 2000s, the road was truncated back to the original US 441/SR 7 terminus.

Until the extension and redesignation in Broward County, SR 82 was an "interrupted" state road, for there was - and still is - a SR 82 in southwestern Florida (from Fort Myers to near Immokalee, Florida).

Former S-736
In Bay County, 11th Street (in the Panama City grid) between Beck Ave (US Bus 98) and Tyndall Pkwy (US 98) was once signed as State Road S-736. The road was given to the county in the late 1970s, and then in the early 1980s, the county began replacing the state road shields with standard blue pentagon signs which designated the highway as County Road 736. Very soon after that, the road was renumbered as County Road 28, and signage today still reflects that change. (It seems out-of-place for this road to have a two-digit designation, not only because the road was formerly only a secondary state highway, but also because two-digit designations are usually reserved for longer roads.)

Heyworth Building

The Heyworth Building is a Chicago Landmark located at 29 East Madison Street, on the southwest corner of Madison Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.

The building was constructed in 1904 by the architectural firm of D. H. Burnham & Company under the commission of Otto Young, a real estate investor and wholesale jeweler. It received its name from the son in law of Otto Young, Lawrence Heyworth, who also supervised construction of the building. Like many other buildings along Wabash Avenue, the Heyworth historically housed watchmakers, jewelers, and associated businesses.  This structure was one of the final buildings designed by Frederick P. Dinkelberg at the firm before administration was turned over to Ernest Robert Graham.

The Heyworth stands 19 stories tall with a gross square footage of . Its style strays from the typical designs of Burnham and Root, appearing more rigid and geometrical than their other works done in a classical style. It combined the Chicago School's structurally expressive character with decorative appearance common in traditional masonry architecture. The tapestry-like ornament of the building pairs well with the ornamentation designed by Louis Sullivan on the adjacent Sullivan Center building. The Heyworth is also noted for its intact finely crafted decorative cornice, which is an uncommon feature among the other commercial buildings of Chicago. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on August 30, 2000.

According to a real estate firm that manages the property, the height of the building is listed in various documents as 260, 273, and .

The building was provided an $11 million renovation in 2001. As part of the renovation, the facade was cleaned and the famous cornice was rebuilt after having undergone a stripping in years past. It is currently the home of Computer Systems Institute, the ESL Academy's Chicago campus, MacCormac College in Chicago and to the Center for Economic Progress.

Cliff Hanger (video game)

Cliff Hanger is a laserdisc video game that was released by Stern Electronics in 1983. It is an interactive movie, using animation from two Lupin III films, and requires the player to respond to quick time events to progress the storyline. Most of the game's footage is from The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), with additional footage from The Mystery of Mamo (1978).

Plot 
The game's plot is based loosely on The Castle of Cagliostro and follows the eponymous Cliff Hanger as he attempts to rescue Clarissa from the evil Count Draco (in some materials called "Dreyco" and in the instruction manual "Dragoe"), who wants to marry her. Cliff is aided in his quest by Jeff (Dan Dunn) and Samurai.

Development 
The game was originally edited at Associated Audio Visual, Inc., in Evanston, Illinois. Jack Bornoff, was the editor, Paul Rubenstein, was editorial supervisor. The segments from The Mystery of Mamo use the original Toho / Frontier Enterprises English dub, while the segments from The Castle of Cagliostro use an English dub created for the game.

Cliff Hanger uses a feedback loop to read frame details from the game laserdisc. This prevents the laserdisc and gameplay from ever going out of sync (a common occurrence in other laserdisc games as the disc players aged).

The original version of Cliff Hanger shows footage from The Mystery of Mamo of Cliff being hanged if the player fails a quick time event. According to the instruction manual, a setting on the game cabinet's logic board would allow the individual owners/operators the option of not playing the sequence if they so chose.

Legacy 
The game was considered for inclusion on the American Blu-ray release of The Castle of Cagliostro by Discotek Media; however, when it became apparent that the original contracts for the game were lost, it was left off the release.

The television show Starcade featured a special episode where rather than playing the usual three games, the contestants played three rounds of Cliff Hanger. The winner of the show, Mark Walsh, won a Cliff Hanger cabinet.

In the film The Goonies (1985), Chunk is playing Cliff Hanger when he sees the Fratelli Brothers driving past while being chased by the police.

Cliff Hanger helped expose many Americans in the 1980s to Lupin III, Hayao Miyazaki, and Japanese anime in general, as it was released in the United States before any Lupin III or Miyazaki anime productions had officially been released theatrically or on home video.

Belmont District, Pennsylvania

Belmont District is a defunct district that existed briefly in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States. The district was created on April 14, 1853 from northern Blockley Township ceased to exist and on February 2, 1854 the district was incorporated into the City of Philadelphia following the passage of the Act of Consolidation, 1854.

The name Belmont is still used as a neighborhood name for the area, although it no longer refers to any legal entity. Similar name-inheritance (where the name of a former municipality lives on as a neighborhood name without formal definition) is  seen in other Philadelphia neighborhoods.

History
Belmont District was created by act of the Assembly on April 14, 1853. It embraced the part of Blockley Township which lay along the Schuylkill River from the northern boundary-line of West Philadelphia to the northern boundary-line between Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, and had also its western boundary on that line. This district had scarcely time to be organized before the Act of Consolidation of February 2, 1854, put an end to its franchises.

The name was derived from Belmont, the country seat of the Peters family, which is now part of Fairmount Park. The mansion was erected by William Peters about 1743, and the name was descriptive of the fine position of the property and suggestive of the beautiful views of the river and valley of the Schuylkill. The property became the estate of Judge Richard Peters, Jr., of the United States District Court; he lived there until his death, August 22, 1828.

The Belmont School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
