hms "decouverte" was the french schooner "eclipse", launched in 1804, that was captured in 1806. the royal navy took her into service as hms "decouverte". she served in the caribbean, where she captured two privateers, one french and one american. she was sold in 1816. "eclipse" was built as a schooner and launched in 1804. she was captured in 1807. the royal navy already had an "eclipse", and had just laid up a "decouverte", so the captured vessel became hms "decouverte". she was registered on 3 january 1806. between 1806 and 1807, "decouverte" was under the command of lieutenant the honourable a. de courcy. (it is not clear whether it was he who first commissioned her.) in march 1807 "decouverte" detained "trist", rinker, master, as "trist" was sailing from bordeaux to new orleans. in february 1808 "decouverte" was under the command of lieutenant colin campbell. in that month she captured one french privateer and destroyed another, as well as the privateer's prize. on 7 february campbell was cruising between altavella and the main, when he discovered three vessels, two french schooner privateers and an english ship, their prize. one schooner escaped after a running battle. "decouverte" succeeded in driving the other schooner and the ship on shore. next morning, when campbell sailed in to take possession of the two vessels, he found the enemy still in possession, covered by small arms fire from the shore. the british were able by cannon fire to drive the french from the ship. campbell sent a request to the schooner under a flag of truce that she surrender the ship, together with whatever prisoners might be on board the schooner. the schooner's captain refused. campbell then deployed a boarding party that set fire to the ship. the water was too shallow for the british to be able to get closer to the schooner, but campbell was confident that she was wrecked on the rocks. the ship was "matilda", of halifax, nova scotia, which had been sailing to jamaica. in the morning of 9 february, cambell discovered an enemy schooner in bottomless cove. "decouverte" gave chase and caught up with her by 3p.m. after a 45-minute exchange of fire, the enemy schooner struck. she turned out to be "dorade", from san domingo. "dorade" was armed with one long 18-pounder gun and two 9-pounder guns, and had a crew of 72 men under the command of monsieur netly. during the engagement three guns on "decouverte" on the side in action were dismounted, which reduced her broadside. french casualties were heavy; the british had to bury at sea seven of "dorade"s crew and campbell estimated that they had lost and thrown overboard seven more during the fight. there were also three wounded. the british did not go unscathed; "decouverte" had six men wounded, of whom one was mortally wounded and three were dangerously wounded. on 21 january 1809 "decouverte" arrived at jamaica from maraycabu. "decouverte" came under the command in, in 1809, of lieutenant richard w. graves. next, in 1809-10 "decouverte" was under the command of lieutenant james oliver until a severe eye injury forced oliver to return to england. in 1812 there was a diplomatic correspondence about three seamen on "decouverte", all of whom claimed to be americans, and one of whom claimed that oliver had destroyed his protection (certificate of citizenship). in april 1811 lieutenant richard williams assumed command of "decouverte". under his command she patrolled the bahamas and the gulfs of mexico and florida. in june "decouverte" brought into nassau the slave ship "joanna". the number of slaves freed was 120. "decouverte" also detained a schooner flying the swedish flag, but carrying french property. on her way to jamaica "decouverte" chased the french privateer "comet", of five guns and 80 men, for two hours. williams had to give up the chase after a squall sent overboard "decouverte"s fore-top-gallant mast and sprung her two lower masts, the fore mast badly. when "decouverte" reached port royal she was ordered to undergo a thorough refit, something that would take nine months. while "decouverte" underwent repairs the merchants of jamaica lent the schooner "confiance" to the royal navy. during this time williams commanded "confiance". after williams and "decouverte" returned to sea, on 12 july 1812 she captured the american privateer "non-pareil". "nonpareil", h. martin, master, was armed with one gun and had a crew of 30 men. she was out of savannah, georgia, and had captured one schooner. martin also had intended to attack the defenseless town of harbour island, bahamas. between 28 july and 23 october 1812, british warships sent into nassau 39 american and spanish ships with american cargoes. "decouverte" sent in "olympus" (captured 29 july), sailing from oporto to havanah, and "augusta" (captured 29 august), haskell, master, sailing from greenock to charleston. these were carrying flour and logwood. "decouverte" also drove two privateers from the coast, but was unable to capture them. while she was in murray's anchorage, bermuda, a heavy gale came up. her crew was forced to cut away her masts to save her as she was only two cable-lengths (580 yards) from the shore. while escorting a convoy from new providence on its way to jamaica and cape haitian through the caicos passage, "decouverte" prevented the american privateer brig "saratoga", of 16 guns and 140 men, from capturing a schooner. in 1814 williams was transferred to the brig "edwards", a brigantine of 360 tons, 12 guns, and 74 men, possibly a transport, but his period of command was short-lived as an officer sent from england replaced him. before williams left the jamaica station in 1815, he received a letter of thanks from the mayor and merchants of kingston for his services to the trade. the navy sold "decouverte" in 1816. part time wife is a 1930 american pre-code comedy film directed by leo mccarey and written by

(the tereshchenko mine will be later become known as "sverdlov mine"). tereshchenko earned the nickname "karbovanets". he established production of sugar beet in ukraine, contributing this way into the fight against hunger and at the same time he donated a significant amount of the income to charity. in 1815, at the age of 21, as a young cossack, he was drafted into the army and sent to fight against the french invaders. in order to maintain the morale of the cossacks, the tsar has promised to give the hand of his daughter, the grand duchess, to a cossack, who would bring him the head of napoleon. cossacks rushed into the fight, which brought them to the town of paris. but soon the regiment, where tereshchenko served, was ordered to stay at the apartments outside the french capital. for a few months, tereshchenko and his fellow cossacks stayed near the town of beauvais, where the fertile soils of the bree valley were producing beets just like at his homeland ukraine. at the same time, there was the ongoing blockade, the british announced to france, hindering deliveries of sugarcane from the antilles. and one of the napoleon's plans was to set up production of sugar from beets. the french began implementing the state plan enthusiastically and in northern france this strategically important production had started establishing. tereshchenko decided to take advantage of his stay in the suburbs of paris to study french. in addition, he became friends with a group of young scientists who have worked on the problem of the production of sugar from beets at the university of beauvais under the leadership of jean-say basta, and learned the ins and outs of the process. he was delighted and immediately realized that if he would use sugar beet in production at his homeland, as there were growing beets of excellent quality, this could be one of the stages to win a fight against hunger. tereshchenko studied all the material, which he had an access to, gathered as much information about the extraction of sugar from beets and vowed to apply this knowledge in practice as soon as he returned to ukraine. in 1816, the grande armée was finally defeated. the war finally ended and a regiment of tereshchenko was sent home. shortly after arriving home, tereshchenko met euphrosyne gregorievna steslyavskaya, and proposed her to become his wife. the wedding took place on 15 january 1819. from this marriage, on 14 october the same year, their first son nikola was born. his three sons nikola, fyodor and simon joined him in the business. tereshchenko's right-hand has always been his son nikola. at his thirty, he was elected as a mayor. it was him, who came up with an effective way, which gave a powerful impact to his father's business: a trade credit. he offered a good price to product manufacturers, who came to sell to the local fair, but with the condition of deferred payment until the return of the convoy. this made it possible to increase its turnover tenfold. however, such transactions require, as a condition, and the key to success, its inviolability of the word. and since a father and a son did never break their word, the surname tereshchenko became known, throughout the whole russian empire, as a synonym of "guarantor" for sellers and buyers. in 1853, the crimean war began. the emperor nikolai i had to keep the expeditional corpus of the russian army in the difficult conditions of the crimean peninsula, which was in the hands of the sultan. tsar knew that the russian soldiers were badly prepared for a combat on mountainous terrain, where it was easily to be ambushed. being aware of the reputation of artemy tereshchenko and knowing him as of stubborn and strong-willed old cossack, who also knew very well the routes in the south of the state, the tsar instructs "chumak" tereshchenko to supply crimean contingent of russian troops with bread and firewood. it was known, that no matter how complex the weather conditions would be, the russian army, wherever it was, has never been left without food and warmth during these three years of war, including heavy days of the siege of sevastopol. tereshchenko was also engaged in charitable activities. from the family fortune they built a vocational school, male and female gymnasiums, a pedagogical institute, a bank, the free hospital of st. euphrosyne, an orphanage, and a three anastasias cathedral. tereshchenko became the first guild merchant, and by a royal decree of 12 may 1870, he, for the special services and charity activities, was awarded by emperor alexander ii of russia, with all the offspring of the male line to the hereditary nobility of the russian empire. he was also awarded with a gold medal of the holy synod. the princess mouse: a tale of finland is a 2003 children's book authored by aaron shepard and illustrated leonid gore.

"booklist" wrote "shepard's charmingly droll version of a finnish folktale combines classic elements with unexpected, witty details" and "the jewel-toned art has beautiful luminescence; the elongated, somewhat blocky look of the characters reinforces the fantasy; and the mice are downright irresistible.", the school library journal wrote "on the whole, though, this is a pleasant, attractive addition to folklore shelves." while "horn book" found it a "well-told tale" rackaracka is a youtube channel created and run by australian twin brothers daniel "danny" and michael phillippou (born november 13, 1992), based in los angeles, california (originally from adelaide, south australia). the channel is known for its intense live action black comedy action videos, as well as for their videos that satirize mcdonald's mascot ronald mcdonald as a high-pitched speaking psychopathic killer clown. most of its videos have been known for containing excessive amounts of graphic violence, vulgarity and sexual content, resulting in a handful of them being flagged on youtube due to controversy as well as being banned in several countries. the channel's first huge success was "harry potter vs star wars", which attracted 7 million views in a week. this video won in the best comedy and best overall categories at the 2014 australian online video awards. in september 2015, the channel won the award for best international youtube channel at the 6th streamy awards. on 10 july 2017, danny and michael revealed that they moved into a mansion with their close friends, marking the beginning of a series of videos for the channel titled "house of racka", which combined their real-life adventures and special effects skills altogether into a vlog-like series. the "house of racka" series became the majority of the channel's uploads for around a year. on 2 april 2018, among complaints of youtube demonetizing the channel, the brothers announced that they were being evicted from their mansion, to which many fans thought this meant the end of the channel as the video contained an emotional tribute to the experiences the twins had in the mansion with a more somber mood than they usually projected. this was later proven to be false, however, as the two later revealed that the "house of racka" series was the only cancellation to their youtube careers and that they announced a new project titled "the racka project", which is very similar to the previous "house of racka" series; the major difference is that they are now continuing their videos from their residence previous to their mansion. on 25 august 2018, michael fought on the undercard ksi vs logan paul boxing event where he beat scarce by tko. due to lack of demonetization on the main rackaracka channel, on 14 december 2019 the brothers created a new channel called left on red, vowing to upload a shorter and possibly more marketable video to the channel daily. on 16 december 2019, the brothers announced that michael had been charged with numerous crimes related to a video uploaded on 16 january 2019, which depicted him driving a heavily modified and watertight car on public roads while completely submerged and breathing partially through a hole in the roof. other claims included that the brothers had been charged for quite a while and were unaware they were being sought by law enforcement; most of them were confirmed when michael was ordered to appear in christies beach magistrates court on 14 january 2020. upon their arrival, michael and danny were greeted by reporters and fans after announcing the court date and time on rackaracka. nasibi tahir babai (died 1835), born tahir skënderasi, was an albanian bektashi wali, and bejtexhi. tahir babai took the nickname nasibi (the fortunate one) after it was reported that the door of the tekke of haji bektash veli in asia minor opened miraculously of its own accord to allow him to enter. in his late years he settled in frashër, kazza of përmet, back then ottoman empire (today's albania), where he founded the tekke of frashër, a bektashi tekke which played an important role not only the religious point of view as a key sufi center, but also had a role in the albanian national awakening process.
the tekke was built in 1815 and he served there until his death in 1835. he developed the tekke of frashër and the one in leskovik as cultural and literature centers. he inspired two other bektashi

iraq and other arab countries where he got in touch with oriental literature. however, the work that he created was lost. according to şemseddin sami's ottoman encyclopedia "kamûs-ül â'lâm", he composed much verse in albanian, turkish, and persian. thomas (tom) mcalevey (born october 4, 1958 in new york city, united states) is an american radio entrepreneur, writer, filmmaker, and

from los angeles, california who were active from 1965-1967. they recorded a handful of singles for the mgm label, of which "bring your own self down," composed by tandyn almer, is the best-known. their work has appeared on compilations such as "just for kicks volume 1," which was issued by misty lane records in 2004. the purple gang formed in north hollywood in late 1965 with a membership composed primarily of students from north hollywood high school. the band chose their name based on the infamous chicago gang of the same name. according to former member marty tryon, "i am pretty sure the name the purple gang came from rosemary richland. she told us about the gangsters in detroit that were called the purple gang during the 1930s. they got us purple shirts with puffy sleeves and away we went." their original lineup consisted of bob corff (vocals), alan wisdom (guitar), mark landon (guitar), marty tryon (bass), harry garfield (keyboards), and tom atwater (drums) and their sound was influenced by bands such as the beatles, the byrds, and love. the band's lead singer, bob corff, knew l.a. music promoter tony richland, who became the band's manager, and would later be associated with harry nilsson. wisdom and tryon had played in another local band, the tegrams. they made their first live appearance playing in front of a gas station, an event which, according to popular legend, prompted drummer atwater to coin the phrase "what a gas!" in performance each member of the band would wear one purple glove, an idea which guitarist landon subsequently brought along when he left the purple gang and joined the music machine, led by sean bonniwell, who scored a huge hit in 1966 with "talk talk, and whose members would each wear one black glove. bass player tryon claims to have originally come up with the idea: in early 1966 they issued their debut single, "answer the phone," on the jerden label. the group were then signed to mgm records and would release their second and best-known single, "bring your own self down," which was composed by tandyn almer, who later achieved success with "along comes mary." in 1967 they recorded their final mgm single, a rendition of laura nyro's "poverty train." they also recorded two songs love tunes "can't explain" and "no matter what you do" which were never officially released. the purple gang broke up in mid-1967. mark landon, who for a while played guitar with the music machine, is now an emmy award-winning tv and film make-up artist. in 1967, marty tryon joined a group called the lamp of childhood, who had a contract with abc dunhill records. bob corff toured in popular rock musicals such as hair (musical), jesus christ superstar, and grease (movie) and became involved in a much-publicized affair with actress june lockhart and now teachers acting and voice. alan wisdom now owns a telephone installation company. harry garfield, now using the name harry ascher, is vice president of universal studios' music department. in the 1970 marty tryon worked as a tv session bassist for tv shows such as the rockford files and hill street blues would later go on to play with the smothers brothers' house band in the late 1970s and he eventually in addition to lighting and midi electronic musical programming, became their production manager. the purple gang's recordings have appeared on compilations including "just for kicks volume 1," issued by misty lane records, which includes their entire recorded output, as well as "the lost generation, vol. 3." tom hudson is an american computer programmer best known for co-creating the 3d modeling and animation package 3d studio (which became 3d studio max, then autodesk 3ds max) as well as creating its precursor, cad-3d for the atari st. he began his career as a technical editor and video game programmer for atari 8-bit family magazine "analog computing", where he wrote his first 3d rendering program. from 1982 until 1985, hudson was a technical editor for atari 8-bit computer magazine "analog computing". while at "analog", he wrote a number of machine language games printed as type-in programs, including "fill 'er up" (based on "qix"), "livewire!" (based on "tempest"), "retrofire", "planetary defense" (co-written with charles bachand), and "fire bug" (co-written with kyle peacock). all games were accompanied by the assembly language source code. in 1982, hudson developed "buried bucks" (stylized as "buried buck$"), an action game sold commercially by the magazine under the name analog software. "buried bucks" was licensed to imagic who re-released it in 1984 as "chopper hunt". in "analog computing" issue 8, hudson presented a program called "graphic violence!" which creates visuals similar to the expanding explosions in atari's 1980 "missile command" arcade game. that effect is used in both "buried bucks" and "planetary defense". in 1984 he wrote a 3d object viewer called solid states for the atari 8-bit line, published in "analog" #16. the atari basic program lets the user enter a series of 3d points, then a series of lines connecting them, and displays the result as a wireframe. the objects themselves are created on graph paper. hudson left "analog" when the atari st was introduced in 1985 and developed the paint program degas published by batteries included in 1986. he created an enhanced version, degas elite, released in 1987. after degas, hudson wrote cad-3d for the atari st, published by antic software (run by gary yost), which was later renamed cyber studio. cad-3d started as a port of solid states to the atari st. hudson abandoned the atari st when expected improvements in the hardware did not occur. working with yost, jack powell, and dan silva, "the yost group" developed 3d studio for ms-dos-based pcs, published in 1990 by autodesk. the animated short "cornerstone", which shipped with 3d studio, was created by hudson. under the name analog retro, hudson teamed up with former magazine staffers lee pappas and jon bell to write the "star raiders"-inspired "star rangers" for ios. the game is no longer available. in 2012, hudson enhanced his atari 8-bit "planetary defense" game to take advantage of modern emulators. "planetary defense 2012" was announced in the atariage forums on september 2, 2012. the hotel clark, also known as the clark hotel, is a historic building in los angeles, california, usa. the building

tenants and turn it into a luxury hotel again in 1979, the tenants filed a lawsuit accusing them of harassment and won. a decade later, in 1988, the building was acquired by the people's republic of china under the company name of may wah international enterprises. their goal was to turn it into "a chinese business/cultural center". while the historic facade was preserved, the interior was redesigned in the international style. when diplomatic relations between the us and china fizzled out, it was turned into a low-rent apartment building. when they tried to evict the residents to raise the rents, they were sued, leading to a us$1.7 million settlement. it is owned by the chetrit group, chaired by joseph chetrit. they have been remodelling it into a hotel since 2012. lloyd sumner

they are listed alphabetically. the total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals because two bronze medals were awarded per event in twelve sports: badminton, boxing, fencing, judo, kabaddi, kho-kho, lawn bowls, squash, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, wrestling and wushu (in seven events out of fifteen). in the women's high jump event of athletics, a tie for the second position between two athletes from west bengal and madhya pradesh meant that two silver medals (and no bronze) were awarded. robert porter (born 13 august 1942) is a former australian rules footballer who played with hawthorn in the victorian football league (vfl). auguste hippolyte collard (1812 – c. 1897) was an early french photographer. during the second empire he worked for the ministry of agriculture, commerce and public works, documenting civil engineering projects in paris and france, and worked with édouard baldus recording the expansion of the french railways. three witnesses is a 1935 british crime film directed by leslie s. hiscott and starring henry kendall, eve gray and sebastian shaw. it was made at twickenham studios as a quota quickie. the screenplay concerns a man who arrested on suspicion of murdering his brother. after one of the partners in a haulage company is murdered, his brother is arrested on suspicion of the crime. a solicitor sets out to prove his innocence. bill joiner (29 august 1939 – 4 september 2017) was an australian rules footballer who played with hawthorn in the victorian football league (vfl). graeme haslem (born 8 october 1940) is a former australian rules footballer who played with hawthorn in the victorian football league (vfl). according to subhash chandra suman mudrika singh yadav was a senior most leader of the rashtriya janata dal from bihar.he was principle general secretary of rjd. he served as a minister in the lalu prasad yadav ministry as health minister. in october, a sting video surfaced on showing him accepting bribe. yadav died on 24 october 2017 due to a head injury as well as dengue in patna. he was originally from sonbhadra village of arwal district in bihar. the star tournament was a professional golf tournament played in england and sponsored by "the star", a london evening newspaper. it was held from 1945 to 1947. the total prize money was £1,500. the 1945 and 1946 events involved 36 holes of stroke play over two days. the leading 16 then played knockout matchplay over the next two days. in 1947 the 36-hole stroke play stage was played on a single day using both wentworth courses with 32 golfers qualifying. there were then four rounds of knockout matchplay over the next two days, followed by a 36-hole final on the fourth day. the 1945 and 1946 finals were over 18 holes. the 1947 final was over 36 holes. ron critchley (born 16 december 1940) is a former australian rules footballer who played with hawthorn in the victorian football league (vfl). good morning mr doubleday is a black and white 1969 australian tv series which ran for 26 episodes. it is a sitcom set in a high school. lost is the second album by australian rock band died pretty. it was released in 1988. the album, produced by former radio birdman vocalist rob younger, became the second biggest-selling alternative album for 1988, behind ed kuepper's "everybody's got to" and ahead of the church's "starfish". it yielded three singles, including "winterland," the fourth best-selling alternative single for 1987. the album's release was delayed for 18 months by protracted negotiations with festival records over a distribution deal. an expanded version, featuring the 1989 single "everybody moves," as well as b-sides and alternative versions, was released in 2013 by sandman records. the band entered trafalgar studios in early 1987, soon after returning home from a two-month, 70-date tour of europe and the united states, physically exhausted but creatively energised. keyboardist frank brunetti recalled: "even though we weren't making much money out of it we could see that people were taking an interest, not just in australia but in the states and europe. there was demand from people to make another record." bassist mark lock announced he would quit the band because he did not want to tour any more, but agreed to join them for the recording sessions while they searched for a replacement. myers said there was a determination to give the album more space and more light and shade than its predecessor. "a lot of the tracks on "free dirt" were very dense, everyone's playing flat out all the time. on "lost" i wanted to shift that emphasis." as part of that process, the band used singer astrid munday for backing vocals and former cold chisel keyboardist don walker on piano for the song "free dirt," which had been left off the debut album. myers said: "i really liked the song itself and i wanted to give it another go." the band had hired munday after hearing her vocals on paul kelly's "before too long". the band asked for walker's contribution when they saw him walking through trafalgar studios to collect some tapes. myers said: "i thought what this song needs is some really beautiful piano and i was thinking "flame trees" and i went, 'hmmmm' ... don had a listen to the song and he was very gracious ... he just went 'yeah, okay' and went into the studio and played the piano, did two takes and it was fantastic, just beautiful. it was exactly what i wanted." the album's opening song, the title track, had been written by guitarist brett myers for his former brisbane-based band, the end, and was the last to be recorded for the "lost" sessions. myers said the suggestion to record the song had come from citadel records owner john needham, who had seen the band perform it at early died pretty gigs. the first single released from the sessions, "winterland"/"wig-out" (acoustic version) was released on citadel records in october 1987. the single reached no.1 on the independent chart and was accompanied by a video clip filmed in a disused rubble-strewn underground car park in woolloomooloo, with new bassist steve clark miming to the bass line recorded by lock. needham was by then negotiating with festival records for a distribution deal for the album to maximise its chances for success and it was not until june the following year that "lost" was finally released, along with a second single, "towers of strength"/"from a buick 6." both single and album debuted at no.1 on the independent charts. the album cover featured a photo of a french woman, sophie, taken by robyn stacey, the girlfriend of keyboardist john hoey, who replaced brunetti. stacey's work also appeared on the covers of "every brilliant eye", "trace" and "sold". by the time of its release, the band had undertaken a second european and us tour (december 1987 to february 1988) and replaced both lock (october 1987) and brunetti (april 1988). but before brunetti's departure they had recorded one last song, "everybody moves". myers says he regrets that the song—written and originally recorded during the "free dirt" sessions in november 1985 and a mainstay of the band's subsequent live set—was not included on "lost". "we recorded 'everybody moves' [for "free dirt")] but it didn't really jell in the studio ... we knew it was a strong song when we played it live, but we found it wasn't quite so strong when we recorded it in the studio. so we left it off. so in 1988 we were still waiting for the album to come out and we got really bored and went back into the studio to record and we thought, 'what song have we got?' we wanted to record a single and just stick that out; we thought it was a cute idea. so we recorded 'everybody moves'." "everybody moves" was eventually released in april 1989—five months after "lost"'s third and final single, "out of my hands" (november 1988). but myers says: ""lost" is the proper home for 'everybody moves', we'd always wanted it to go on the second album, that's where it should have gone ... if we'd done the right thing and put it on the album and then released it as a single from the album it probably would have done a lot better." brunetti describes it as "the best song we recorded while i was in the band. it's a beautiful song, it's perfect in and of itself. i'm glad it's got that stand-alone identity." the song was included on citadel's second compilation album, "positively elizabeth street" (1989) and on the 2013 sandman reissue of "lost". in july 2013 it was performed by courtney barnett and former hoodoo gurus singer-guitarist dave faulkner on the sbs tv show "rockwiz". bill cocks (15 december 1936 – 17 august 2011) was an australian rules footballer who played with hawthorn in the victorian football league (vfl). n gokulakrishnan is a politician. he is a member of parliament, representing puducherry in the rajya sabha (the upper house of india's parliament).he is elected as the term of p. kannan of inc end on 6 october 2015. he belongs to the indian anna dravida munnetra kazhagam (admk) political party. cgna is a peptide toxin isolated from the sea anemone "condylactis gigantea". it causes an increased action potential duration by slowing down the inactivation of tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium channels. "cg" is an abbreviation for "condylactis gigantea", a giant caribbean sea anemone from which the venom is isolated. "na" indicates the effect of cgna on sodium channels. cgna is a polypeptide toxin with a measured mass of 5046 da. cgna comprises 47 amino acids residues with the following sequence; gly-val-hyp-cys-arg-cys-asp-ser-asp-gly-pro-ser-val-his-gly-asn-thr-leu-ser-gly-thr-val-trp-val-gly-ser-cys-arg-ser-gly-trp-his-lys-cys-asn-asp-glu-tyr-asn-ile-ala-tyr-glu-cys-cys-lys-gln. it has six cysteine amino acids. they are linked by three disulfide bonds between residues at positions 4– 44, 6 –34 and 27– 45. the structure consists of four β-strands formed by residues at position 1–3, 21–23, 32–33 and 43–46. furthermore, the polypeptide has three β-turns at residues 13–16, 27–30 and 31–34. the first two β-strands are connected by a long loop. cgna is a member of a family of sea-anemone sodium-channel type 1 toxins. cgna shares structural similarities and sequence homology with other anemone type 1 toxins such as apa, apb and atx, and with the type 2 sodium channel toxin sh1 of "stichodactyla helianthus". the most distinctive feature in the primary structure between cgna and its related proteins lies in its difference in the distribution of electrostatic charge; cgna contains more negatively charged residues and a lower percentage of exposed hydrophobic residues than is typical for type i and ii toxins. this is likely to effect the binding of the toxin to sodium channels. cgna has an effect on tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium channels. more specifically, in mammals it affects isoforms rnav1.3/β1, mnav1.6/β1; it has lower affinity to the cardiac isoform hnav1.3/β1. the toxin seems to have no effect on other mammalian nav channel subtypes, although its effect on subtype rnav1.1 and nav1.9 has not been tested. besides having an effect on mammalian nav channels, cgna also exhibits an effect on the insect dmnav1/tipe channel. cgna slows the inactivation of tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium currents and thereby increases the action potential duration. it preferentially binds to the closed state of the channel; it shifts the voltage-dependence of the steady-state inactivation of the sodium channels to more negative values, and also speeds up the recovery from inactivation. the toxin induces this effect acting from the extracellular side of the plasma membrane. on mammalian sodium channels, the type i toxins target receptor site 3. their effect on slowing down sodium channel inactivation leads to neurotoxic (repetitive firing) and cardiotoxic (arrhythmia) effects. the action of cgna is not use-dependent, as activation of the sodium channels by repetitive stimuli does not increase the effectiveness of cgna. the toxin has an effect on the sodium channels within 1 minute of application and is partially reversible after removal and wash out. cgna has a strong paralytic activity on crabs with ld50 of approximately 1 mg/kg. studies using both mammalian and insect cloned nav channels subtypes showed that cgna expresses phylum selectivity. as such, it causes more profound increases in peak current and slows the inactivation of nav channels of insects more profoundly compared to mammalian nav channels. the inactivation effects of 10 μm application of cgna on cultured rat dorsal ganglion neurons for 1 to 20 minutes exposure time seem to be fully reversible with repeated washout of the preparation. when using cloned insects' sodium channels, application of the same toxin levels were not reversible. the 1989/90 fis nordic combined world cup was the seventh world cup season, a combination of ski jumping and cross-country skiing organized by international ski federation. it started on 16 dec 1989 in st. moritz, switzerland and ended on 16 march 1990 in oslo, norway. trevor randall (born 20 august 1940) is

gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (gnrh antagonist) medication which is used in the treatment of uterine fibroids in japan. it is also under development for use in other countries and for the additional indications of endometriosis and prostate cancer. it is taken by mouth once per day. side effects of relugolix include menstrual abnormalities, hot flashes, excessive sweating, headache, and decreased bone mineral density. relugolix is a gnrh antagonist, or an antagonist of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor. unlike most other gnrh modulators, but similarly to elagolix (brand name orilissa), relugolix is a non-peptide, small-molecule compound and is orally active. it suppresses sex hormone levels to the postmenopausal or castrate range in both women and men with administration once per day. as of february 2019, relugolix is in phase iii clinical trials for endometriosis and prostate cancer. it was approved for use for the treatment of uterine fibroids in japan in january 2019. a new drug application of relugolix for uterine fibroids is expected to be submitted in the united states late 2019. relugolix is approved in japan for the treatment of uterine fibroids (uterine leiomyoma) in women. it is used at a dosage of 40 mg once daily by mouth for this indication. relugolix is available in the form of 40 mg oral tablets. the main side effects of relugolix include abnormal uterine bleeding (24.6–48.6% vs. 6.3% for placebo), hot flashes (42.8–45.5% vs. 0% for placebo), heavy menstrual bleeding (12.1–49.3% vs. 9.4% for placebo), headache (12.3–15.2%), and excessive sweating (9.4–15.2% vs. 0% for placebo). in addition, decreased bone mineral density occurs with relugolix (21.7% decrease by week 12, 24.4% decrease by week 24). relugolix is a selective antagonist of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (gnrhr), with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (ic) of 0.12 nm. a dosage of relugolix of 40 mg once per day has been found to suppress estradiol levels to postmenopausal levels (<20 pg/ml) within 24 hours in premenopausal women. in the control group of women, estradiol levels fluctuated between 50 and 250 pg/ml. estradiol levels have been found to return to normal concentrations within 4 weeks of discontinuation of relugolix in premenopausal women. the medication additionally suppresses levels of progesterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone in premenopausal women. relugolix at a dosage of 40 mg or more once per day has been found to reduce testosterone levels to sustained castrate levels (<20 ng/dl) in men. it additionally suppresses luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in men. lower doses of relugolix (<40 mg/day) are under investigation for achieving partial sex hormone suppression in the treatment of endometriosis and uterine fibroids. this is intended to reduce the incidence and severity of menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and decreased bone mineral density that are secondary to estrogen deficiency. a single 40-mg oral dose of relugolix has been found to result in peak levels of relugolix of 29 ng/ml (47 nmol/l) after 1.5 hours. steady-state levels are reached within 7 days with 40 mg/day relugolix administration. there is an approximate 2-fold accumulation of relugolix by 2 weeks of continuous administration. food diminishes the oral bioavailability of relugolix by about 50%. relugolix is a substrate for p-glycoprotein, which may have a limiting effect on its absorption and distribution. the plasma protein binding of relugolix is approximately 68 to 71% over a concentration range of 0.05 to 5 μg/ml. relugolix is not a substrate for cyp3a4. the elimination half-life of relugolix is 36 to 65 hours across a dosage range of 20 to 180 mg/day. there is moderate to high interindividual variability in systemic exposure to relugolix. relugolix is excreted mainly in feces (83%) and to a small degree in urine (4%). only about 6% of a dose of relugolix is excreted unchanged. relugolix is a non-peptide, small-molecule compound, and is structurally distinct from gnrh analogues. it is an "n"-phenylurea derivative. relugolix was first described in 2004. it superseded sufugolix (developmental code name tak-013), which was developed by the same researchers. relugolix was approved for the treatment of uterine fibroids in japan on 8 january 2019. it was the second orally active gnrh antagonist to be introduced for medical use, following elagolix (brand name orilissa) in july 2018. "relugolix" is the generic name of the drug and its , , and . it is also known by its former developmental code names "rvt-601" and "tak-385". relugolix is marketed under the brand name relumina. relugolix is available in japan. relugolix is under development by myovant sciences and takeda for the treatment of uterine fibroids in countries besides japan such as the united states. myovant sciences intends to submit a new drug application of relugolix for uterine fibroids in the united states in the fourth quarter of 2019. relugolix is also under development for the treatment of endometriosis and prostate cancer in the united states, japan, and other countries. as of february 2019, it is in phase iii clinical trials for these indications. the cincinnati metropolitan area, informally known as greater cincinnati or the greater cincinnati tri-state area, is a metropolitan area that includes counties in the u.s. states of ohio, kentucky, and indiana around the ohio city of cincinnati. the united states census bureau's formal name for the area is the cincinnati–middletown, oh–ky–in metropolitan statistical area. as of the 2010 u.s. census, this msa had a population of 2,114,580, making greater cincinnati the 29th most populous metropolitan area in the united states, the largest metro area primarily in ohio, followed by cleveland (2nd) and columbus (3rd). the census also lists the cincinnati–wilmington–maysville, oh–ky–in combined statistical area, which adds clinton county, ohio (defined as the wilmington, oh micropolitan area) and mason county, kentucky (defined as the maysville, ky micropolitan area) for a 2014 estimated population of 2,208,450. the cincinnati metropolitan area is considered part of the great lakes megalopolis. the cincinnati, oh–ky–in, msa was originally formed by the united states census bureau in 1950 and consisted of the kentucky counties of campbell and kenton and the ohio county of hamilton. as surrounding counties saw an increase in their population densities and the number of their residents employed within hamilton county, they met census criteria to be added to the msa. the hamilton–middletown, oh msa was also formed in 1950 and consisted solely of butler county, ohio. in 1990, the census changed designation of the areas known as msas to primary metropolitan statistical area (pmsa), and a new consolidated metropolitan statistical area (cmsa) grouping was created. from 1990 through 2005, the cincinnati–hamilton–middletown cmsa included the cincinnati–hamilton, oh–ky–in pmsa and the hamilton–middletown, oh pmsa. as of december 2005, census terminology changed again, eliminating the pmsa/cmsa terminology. consolidated statistical areas (csa) combine more than one core based statistical area (cbsa). newly defined msas (metropolitan) and µsas (micropolitan) statistical areas are cbsas. from 2005 to 2013, the cincinnati–middletown–wilmington csa included the cincinnati–middletown msa (defined as the old cincinnati–hamilton–middletown cmsa), and wilmington, oh µsa (clinton county, ohio). in 2013, the csa was redefined again. the cincinnati–middletown msa was renamed the cincinnati msa. the wilmington, oh µsa remained in the csa. the maysville, ky µsa, which had previously consisted of mason and lewis counties in kentucky, was redefined as consisting solely of mason county and added to the csa. the name of the csa accordingly changed to the cincinnati–wilmington–maysville csa. the metropolitan area's population has grown 8.1 percent between census 2000 and the 2009 census population estimate, just under the national population growth rate of 9.2 percent over the same period. this growth rate is about in the middle of the growth rates of other similarly sized mid western metropolitan areas. for example, the cleveland metropolitan area lost approximately 2% of population, while louisville gained 8%, columbus gained 12%, and indianapolis gained 14% over the same time period. the 2009 population estimate from the us census classifies population changes between natural population increases (number of births minus number of deaths) and net migration (the difference between people moving into the region minus those moving out of the region). natural population increase contributes fundamentally all of greater cincinnati's population growth. a small amount of net international migration to the region is offset by a small amount of net domestic migration out of the region. the cincinnati metropolitan statistical area (msa), which includes seven counties in northern kentucky and three in southeast indiana, is the largest metropolitan area that includes parts of ohio, exceeding the population of greater cleveland, though both greater cleveland and metropolitan columbus have larger populations within the state of ohio as of 2013. most of the region's population growth has occurred in the northern counties, leading to speculation that the cincinnati-northern kentucky metropolitan area will eventually merge with greater dayton. cincinnati is also located very close to other metropolitan areas, such as louisville, lexington, and frankfort, kentucky, and columbus, ohio. for comparison purposes, population data is summarized using 2008 census csa/msa county definitions. butler county, ohio was previously known as the hamilton–middletown, oh pmsa and was separate from the cincinnati, oh–ky–in pmsa until the 1990 census, when the cincinnati–hamilton, oh–ky–in cmsa designation was used to consolidate the two pmsas. the cmsa/pmsa designation is no longer used by the us census. in order of 2010 census population: the cincinnati–northern kentucky metropolitan area is located within a climatic transition zone. the southern area of the region, from roughly about the ohio river, is at the extreme northern limit of the humid subtropical climate; the north part of the region is on the extreme southern cusp of the humid continental climate. evidence of both humid subtropical climate and humid continental climate can be found here, particularly noticeable by the presence of plants indicative of each climatic region. within the area, the usda climate zone rating can vary from as warm as zone 6b to as cool as zone 5b, with the warmest areas tending to be found closest to the ohio river; individual microclimates of even cooler and warmer temperature may occur in the area but are too small to be considered in the overall climate zone rating. the common wall lizard, introduced from italy in the 1950s, is an example of fauna in the area that lends a subtropical ambiance to the urban core (near downtown cincinnati) area of the region. significant moderating variables for the overall climate are: traveling through the region from north to south, a subtle but interesting change in climate can be observed and is most evidenced by the gradual increase in the occurrence of subtropical indicator plants in the landscape. most noticeable are the southern magnolia and mimosa trees, and the needle palm also may be found as a winter hardy landscape specimen in lawns near the ohio river. during the winter, travellers from north to south will routinely observe a significant difference in snowfall/ice/rain in the region. although widely accepted as part of the midwest, the cincinnati–northern kentucky metropolitan area is climatically and geographically located on the northern periphery of the upland south region of the united states and is within the bluegrass region of ohio and kentucky. the area is vulnerable to occasional severe weather—thunderstorms, large hail and sometimes tornadoes. cincinnati-based broadcast media outlets often use the terms "cincinnati metropolitan area" and "tri-state area" to refer to their broader viewing or listening areas, especially for the purpose of weather reports or school closings. the viewing areas of wlwt, wcpo-tv, and wkrc-tv all span the same 26 counties, including adams and highland counties in ohio; fayette, ripley, switzerland, and union counties in indiana; and carroll, owen, and robertson counties in kentucky. wxix-tv additionally includes decatur county in indiana and lewis county in kentucky. dayton-area media outlets similarly refer to a miami valley area that includes butler and warren counties in ohio and sometimes clinton county, ohio, and union county, indiana. island trader is a 1982 australian tv movie directed by howard rubie and starring john ewart, sancho gracia, eric

jacob van rysbroeck (c. 6 december 1620 – 27 february 1704) was a flemish portrait painter and engraver from antwerp whose patrons included prominent local families as well as foreign aristocrats and monarchs. jacob van reesbroeck was born in antwerp on or shortly before 6 december 1620 (the date of his baptism). at the age of 14 he commenced his artistic training under jacob spaeingaert, an obscure portrait painter. he studied painting as well as engraving. van reesbroeck became a master of the antwerp guild of saint luke in 1641. in the same year he was inducted into the 'sodaliteit of bejaerde jongmans', a fraternity for bachelors established by the jesuit order. in 1642 he became a free master of the 'schilder-kamer' (the "painter’s chamber') of the guild of saint luke. on 6 december 1648 van reesbroeck married joanna van monnickreede in antwerpen. a year later their only children - the twins renier and jacob - were born. in the period between 1649 and 1653 van reesbroeck painted his first known work: the "", (royal museums of fine arts of belgium). edward hyde, 1st earl of clarendon was a british statesman who after the execution of charles i of england left england and resided in antwerp between 1649 and 1653 with his second wife and daughter. van reesbroeck received many commissions for portraits from ecclesiastical clients, including ambrosius capello and benedicto blommaerts. at the same time van reesbroeck received commissions from local and foreign secular patrons. he was asked by balthasar moretus ii to produce four portraits of members of the moretus family, the owners of the plantin press in antwerp. he also painted the portraits of prominent aristocrats such as those of and frederick william, elector of brandenburg. in the period 1659-1660 van reesbroeck had three pupils: j. iv bol, jacob or michiel boels and peeter hamens. van reesbroeck was also active in local organizations such as the 'sodaliteit der getrouwden', a fraternity for married men established by the jesuit order. van reesbroeck was elected the 'consultor' of the sodaliteit in 1666 and 1682. he was further appointed as 'wijkmeester' (district master) by the antwerp magistrate, a sign of his social status in antwerp. in 1682 van reesbroeck moved his residence to hoogstraten, a small town in the immediate vicinity of antwerp. in hoogstraten he painted four paintings representing the four church fathers for the saint john evangelist church of the local beguinage. these works form the only known works in the oeuvre of van reesbroeck which are not portraits. in 1702 van reesbroeck made his will and two years later he died in hoogstraten. the work of van reesbroeck consists mainly of portraits. he is also known for four history paintings depicting the church fathers. as van reesbroeck only signed the portraits of his foreign patrons and the paintings of the church fathers, the attributions of certain works to the artist are not always firm. for instance, the "" (museum of fine arts, ghent) has traditionally been attributed to jacob van oost but recently some scholars proposed an attribution to van reesbroeck. van reesbroeck worked for a while as the 'private painter' of the moretus family. in 1695 balthasar moretus ii commissioned the artist to paint portraits of himself, his wife and mother and also to make adjustments to an existing family portrait. as was common at the time, the pendant portraits of balthasar moretus ii and his wife anna goos place the husband on the dominant position on the right. the pictures show the sitters with fairly stern expressions staring straight at the viewer. they are dressed in the latest fashions but without extragance. the overall impression given by the two portraits is that of wealth and virtue without exuberance. the red curtain, view to the open sky and an antique column in the background provide the necessary contrast in the picture of anna goos. these elements are a constant in van reesbroeck’s work and were already present in his earliest works. the portrait of balthasar ii moretus’ mother is more old-fashioned as it was to serve as a pendant to a portrait of her husband painted by another painter years before. van reesbroeck clearly had difficulty giving volume to the portrait as he did not paint from a live model. the person depicted was already deceased and he probably had to rely on a "grisaille" portrait or oral descriptions by family members. the portrait of fourteen-year-old balthasar iii moretus at three-quarter length is more lively than the portraits of his parents painted a year earlier. the young man is pictured in a confident pose in a so-called "akimbo" posture. his costume is richly detailed and very fashionable. his whole posture with his shoulders held backwards and his mannered hands conveys an upbringing that attached paramount importance to physical elegance and required children to attend dancing classes to accomplish this goal. in the background of the painting there is again a view of the sky and an antique column. a very elegant "", (kelvingrove art gallery and museum) formerly attributed to the dutch painter isaack luttichuys is now given to jacob van reesbroeck. the lively pose and very free handling of certain portions, such as the puffy cuffs, bear a resemblance with the work of van reesbroeck. the painting is difficult to classify as it could be an informal portrait of a musician, or perhaps a gentleman with musical tastes as well as a genre painting, possibly representing the sense of hearing. the current location of a number of paintings of van reesbroeck is unknown. some of these works are only known by the prints after his work made by van reesbroeck himself or other antwerp engravers. for instance, the "" (british museum) is now only known through the print made by van reesbroeck after his own work. ardstinchar castle is a late medieval castle in the west coast of ayrshire at the mouth of the river stinchar. it was built by hugh kennedy of ardstinchar in the mid-15th century. in the 1770s, the castle was demolished and the stone was used to build a bridge over the river stinchar. only remnants of the castle keep remain to this day. the site is a scheduled monument. ardstinchar castle was built by hugh kennedy of ardstinchar, originally a dominican friar who left his monastery to travel to france, where he took part in the hundred years' war as a mercenary and led troops for joan of arc at the siege of orléans (1428–1429). he probably inherited the land from his brother, alexander, who died without issue, and held it by 1429. with another brother, thomas, he combined estates to form the barony of ardstinchar, but retained a liferent on his own land until his death in 1454. his descendants lived in ardstinchar castle for more than a century. mary, queen of scots visited the castle in 1563. she is likely to have strolled and admired the view on the half turret walkway which still remains today. a long-standing family feud between the cassillis and the kennedy clan, which started in hugh kennedy's era, ended in 1601 with the murder of the last baron of bargany and ardstinchar. jean stewart, the widow of bargany, who had been a lady in waiting to anne of denmark, stayed on at ardstinchar and resisted an attempt to evict her in 1603. she died in 1605. the family fortunes were lost, and the estate was bought by sir john hamilton of letterick, son of the 1st marquis of hamilton. by 1770, the castle had fallen into disrepair and was quarried to provide stone for the construction of a three-arch bridge over the river stinchar, as well as several houses and an inn in ballantrae, now the king's arms hotel. little remains of the castle today apart from the ruins of the keep on a rocky hill. the original castle was wedge-shaped and had three square towers connected by battlement walls. the gatehouse was on the north side, and the keep was in the southeast part of the courtyard with a long hall house alongside. the remains of the castle are situated on the rock outcrop summit near the river. the main tower is and walls are thick. from the ground, it has a height of . the remains of the other towers are too small to measure. the courtyard wall varies from wide. a rock-cut trench, wide and deep, lies outside the north-east courtyard wall, and there is another shallow trench in the west. parvez hashmi (born 24/11/1954 allahabad (uttar pradesh)) is a politician. he was a member of parliament, representing delhi in the rajya sabha

"a well-run, fun globes — privileged people toasting their terrific success with bottomless moët — is its own corrective to hollywood self-seriousness. whereas the planned transgression of this one was less a stiff shot than small beer." the ceremony was nominated for a writers guild of america award in the "comedy/variety (music, awards, tributes) – specials" category but lost out to "triumph’s election special". the ceremony averaged a nielsen 5.5 ratings/13 share, and was watched by 18.5 million viewers. the ratings was an eleven percent decline from the previous ceremony's viewership of 19.3 million, the second highest in a decade. gunver hansen (born 1943) is a danish architect who specializes in architectural lighting design. in addition to projects developed in her own studio, she frequently acts as a consultant for assignments covering outdoor or street lighting developments. hansen studied architecture at the royal danish academy of fine arts, graduating in 1967. she then worked in the studio of jørgen selchaus tegnestue from 1967 until 1974, before participating in research at the royal academy's school of architecture until 1980. in 1983, she established her own firm, gunver hansen tegnestue. concentrating on lighting, she has completed over 500 projects, many for street lighting or building illumination. assignments have included new lighting at copenhagen central station (2014), the exterior illumination of grundtvig's church (2013) and outdoor lighting in esbjerg's main square (2011). one of her most recent projects is the coloured led lighting inside the bispeengen tunnel, completed in march 2015. the 50-metre long tunnel in central copenhagen leads to a recycling centre. the project manager, susanne felland, from the amager ressource center explained that the objective was to "transform a dull, grey entrance into an experience beyond the expected". the wall paintings inside the tunnel are illuminated and transformed with hansen's 24 led spotlights which create dynamic scenes running in a 20-minute loop. hansen explains that the lights can be programmed and each beam modified for brightness and colour. hansen has received several awards including: the building formerly known as park lane chapel is a former strict baptist chapel in the ancient town of farnham in surrey, england. now a house, it was in religious use for nearly 150 years and housed a congregation whose origins go back to informal meetings in the 1840s. after nisan samuel, a polish jew, arrived in england and converted to christianity, he took charge of these ad hoc meetings and formalised them into a strict baptist church. after he moved on, the congregation bought land and built a chapel. the small stone and brick building has been listed at grade ii for its architectural and historical importance. protestant nonconformist christian denominations have a long history in the market town of farnham: congregational and presbyterian groups were well established by the late 17th century and had joined in 1793 to form ebenezer chapel. augustus toplady, anglican cleric and hymnwriter, held calvinist views; and the ejection in 1782 of popular curate william gunn from the parish church encouraged the formation of small, informal groups which worshipped according to nonconformist doctrines. in 1812, in a town called vinooty in russian poland, nisan samuel was born. named after the jewish month of his birth, he was part of a locally prominent jewish family. he was forced to leave the country to escape persecution, and "wander[ed] over the continent, where he was befriended by baron rothschild". initially he settled in london, where he met a jew who had converted to christianity. he became interested in the christian religion and became a convert himself, associating at first with the established church (the church of england). at this point he changed his name to edward samuel. in the early 1840s, he started to explore nonconformism, and was invited to preach at numerous small gatherings of independents and strict baptists. around this time he was also baptised. in 1844 he was invited to preach at farnham, where a group of people aligned to no particular denomination met informally for worship in a loft above a building. they asked him to take charge of the cause, and he formed it into a formal church along strict baptist lines. about a year later samuel left and took up a pastorate at hitchin. he went on to write "the triumph of christ on the cross, as god-man over sin and the sinner; to which is prefixed, an account of the early life, conversion, and call to the ministry of the author" in 1857, and was associated for many years with a strict baptist cause at sleaford. the church continued to meet in the loft, said to be infested with pigeons, until george turner became pastor in 1850 and made plans to build a chapel. the church bought a site on bear lane, a 250-capacity chapel was erected, and the first service was held on 9 april 1853 (good friday). it was licensed for worship in accordance with the places of worship registration act 1855 with the registration number 19715, and was registered for marriages in june 1870. in the mid-1950s it was stated that "church life [had been] quiet and uneventful" since the chapel opened, and that although it still had its own pastor (rather than relying on supply pastors or laypersons) until 1924, the congregation was in decline. the building was sold for conversion into a house in around 1994. while it was still in religious use, the chapel was designated a grade ii listed building on 29 december 1972. such buildings are defined as "nationally important and of special interest". as of february 2001, it was one of 1,548 grade ii listed buildings and 1,661 listed buildings of all grades in the borough of waverley, the local government district of which farnham is the largest town. park lane chapel is one of several small chapels built for strict baptists in the early to mid-19th century in surrey. the walls are of clunch rubble laid in courses, and the west-facing frontage is coated with stucco. the doorway is recessed below a straight-headed porch. there is a datestone on the façade, and above the doorway is a rose window and a pediment. the roof is laid with slates. there are two windows to each of the side elevations (facing north and south); these are dressed with red brick and have a slight segmental arch. as originally built, the interior was single-storey. the boundary walls and iron railings in front of the chapel are included in the grade ii listing. eugenio b. bito-onon jr. is a filipino politician and member of the liberal party, who has been elected kalayaan mayor twice, serving since 2010. he was re-elected in may 2013, winning his re-election bid with 108 votes against rivals noel osorio (69 votes) and rosendo mantes (46 votes). bit-onon failed in his re-election bid in 2016, coming in second place with 59 votes and losing to the eventual winner roberto "choy" m, del mundo with 142 votes. bito-onon is a pioneer and town planner who moved to thitu island in 1997 to help strengthen filipino sovereignty claims to the south china sea. believing that a civilian presence helps to strengthen filipino claims to the south china sea. bito-onon helped to establish the first deliberately settled civilian town in the spratlys on thitu island in 2001. in june 2012, he helped establish the pag-asa elementary school, the first school on thitu island. referred to by hayton as cloma's heir, bito-onon also oversaw the completion of a small statue of tomas cloma on thitu island. bito-onon is a strong supporter of filipino sovereignty and vocal critic of chinese activities in the south china sea. bit-onon has also actively promoted international awareness of the filipino view of the dispute, having hosted and acted as a guide for multiple international news organizations, including seth doane from cbs news, eric campbell from abc news, and other reporters, including ones from the new york times, cnn and the asahi shimbun, in tours of the filipino-held islands of the south china sea. he has had several encounters with the chinese coast guard while travelling around the filipino-occupied spratly islands. bito-onon advocates greater us involvement in the south china sea dispute. he has visited the us and held meetings with the filipino-american community to promote awareness and elicit support for his cause. he also promotes turning the spratly islands into an ecotourism zone bito-onon claims that the energy resources in the south china sea are enough to support china's needs for the next 105 years. thus, he believes that the philippines should occupy the remaining unoccupied islets in the south china sea, as the possible energy resources would also safeguard filipino energy independence. based primarily in puerto princesa, where his office resides, bito-onon is generally only able to visit thitu island once a year. his wife lives and works in puerto princesa. together, they have two sons basil mason was a british screenwriter. he worked on more than thirty films during his career. eighth conference of the international woman suffrage alliance occurred june 6–12, 1920, in geneva, switzerland. on call of its president, carrie chapman catt, the international woman suffrage alliance was summoned to its eighth congress june 6–12, 1920, in geneva, switzerland, seven instead of the usual two years after the last one. the reason for the long gap was the outbreak of world war i in 1914. on sunday morning, june 6, for the first time in the history of geneva a woman spoke in the national church, the cathedral of st. peter; a. maude royden of great britain preached in french and english to an audience that filled the cathedral. that morning at 9 father hall, sent by the catholic ecclesiastical authorities from england for the purpose, delivered a sermon to the congress at a special mass in notre dame. in the afternoon, a reception was given by emilie gourd, president of the swiss national suffrage association, in the beau sejour garden. at a public meeting in the evening at plainpalais, m. j. mussard, president of the canton of geneva; chaponniere chaix, president of the swiss national council of women, and mlle. gourd gave addresses of welcome, to which responses were made by annie furuhjelm, finland; mme. de witt schlumberger, france, and anna lindemann, germany, officers of the alliance. catt then delivered her president's address. she described the physical, mental and moral chaos resulting from the war, the immense problems now to be solved. catt showed how the suffrage had come in some countries where no effort had been made for it, while in others where women had worked the hardest they were still disfranchised, and she gave a scathing review of the situation in the united states, where it had been so long withheld. she paid eloquent tributes to susan b. anthony, a founder of the alliance, and to dr. anna howard shaw, who had helped to found it and had attended every congress but had died the preceding year. she pointed out to the enfranchised delegates the great responsibility that had been placed in their hands and through it the vast power they would have in re-creating the world and said: "i believe had the vote been granted to women twenty-five years ago, their national influence would have so leavened world politics that there would have been no world war." among the many objects for the alliance to accomplish she named the following: (1) stimulate the spread of democracy and through it avoid another world war; (2)discourage revolution by demonstrating that change may be brought about through peaceful political methods; (3) encourage education and enlightenment throughout the world; (4) keep the faith in self-government alive when it fails to meet expectations. methods for achieving these results were suggested and it was impressed on the younger women that this would be their task, as the older ones had practically finished their work. a few of the delegates wished to disband the alliance; a few others desired to change the character of its objects, but by an overwhelming majority it was voted to continue it along the original lines, although broadened, until the women of all countries were enfranchised. the congress was held in the maison communale de plainpalais, the large town hall in a suburb of geneva, and here one evening its municipality gave a reception to the members. the shady gardens and sunny terrace were the scene of many social gatherings.1 the congress opened with a roll call of the suffrage victories and the responses showed the almost unbelievable record that twenty countries had enfranchised their women during the years of the war! the official report was edited by miss chrystal macmillan, recording secretary of the international alliance, and the introduction was a graphic review, which said in part: "despite the difficulties of travel and the fact that only three months' notice had been given the gathering at geneva was more widely representative than any previous meeting. women were present from thirty-six countries. of the twenty-six affiliated with the alliance at the time of the last meeting, in 1913, the auxiliaries of nineteen showed their continued vitality by sending fully accredited delegates to geneva. representatives were also present from the former auxiliaries in austria and germany, who were accorded full membership rights. the russian national president, a fugitive from her country, was unable to come but sent her greetings. the belgian society abstained from taking part and from the polish and portuguese auxiliaries no answer was received. four countries, greece, spain, argentina and uruguay, sent delegates from newly formed national suffrage societies, which were accepted in the alliance. in addition there were present women from armenia, the crimea, lettonia, lithuania, luxembourg, new zealand, poland, turkey and the ukraine. for the first time women from india and japan came to tell of the beginnings of the organized movement among the women of the east. it was only the difficulties of travel which prevented the delegates who had started on their journeys from china, egypt and palestine from arriving in time for the congress. for the first time more than half the voting delegates represented countries in which women had the full suffrage. the consequent increased political importance of the congress was recognized by the governments of the world, of which eighteen in europe appointed official representatives, and the united states of america and uruguay of south america. the secretariat of the league of nations also sent a representative. the outstanding feature of the first business session was the announcement of particulars by representatives of the many nations which had given the political and suffrage eligibility to women between 1913 and 1920—austria, british east africa, canada, crimea, czecho-slovakia, denmark, estonia, germany, great britain, hungary, iceland, lettonia, lithuania, luxembourg, the netherlands, poland, rhodesia, russia, sweden, the ukraine and six more of the united states. it was announced that women sit as members of parliament in the majority of these countries, while large numbers are members of municipal councils. in the united states of america the federal suffrage amendment had passed both houses of congress and had been ratified by thirty-five of the necessary thirty-six states. serbia, belgium and roumania had granted municipal suffrage to women and the zionists of palestine and the commune of fiume had given to them full equal suffrage and eligibility. ... it was decided to arrange at the next congress a session at which only enfranchised women should speak. . . . the catholic woman suffrage society of great britain was accepted as a member of the alliance. on monday, a special feature was the speeches of five women members of parliament—helen ring robinson (state senate), colorado; elna munch, denmark; annie furuhjelm, finland; lady astor, great britain; tekla kauffman, wurtemberg. in all, nine women members of parliament attended the congress. the others, who spoke at later meetings, were frau burian and adelheid popp of austria; mme. petkavetchaite of lithuania and adele schrieber-krieger, whose election to the german reichstag was announced during the congress. on wednesday at the great meeting in the hall of the reformation, three-minute speeches were given by representatives of each of the enfranchised countries in the alliance. yet another new aspect was illustrated by the meeting of thursday, addressed by women from india and china. the speeches showed how similar are the difficulaies of the women of both the east and the west and how much new ground has still to be broken before the object of the alliance is achieved." the forenoons were devoted to business meetings relating to the future work of the alliance and they were in session simultaneously in different rooms in the great building—women and party politics, legal status of women, civil equality, economic value of domestic work of wives and mothers, equal pay for equal work, single moral standard, protection of childhood— questions affecting the welfare of all society in all lands, pressing for solution and in all practically the same. the afternoons were given largely to the reports from many countries. "the woman's leader", organ of the national union of societies for equal citizenship of great britain, in its account of the congress said: the effect of these reports was intensely dramatic, mingled, as it inevitably was, with the memories of the strange and bitter conditions under which the change had come. in some of the countries that had been at war enfranchisement came in the midst of revolution, riot and disaster; in others it came fresh and new with the beginning of their independent national life and almost as a matter of course. "our men and women struggled together for our national freedom," said delegate after delegate from the new states of europe, "and so when any of us were enfranchised we both were." the report on the election of women to national or municipal bodies was deeply interesting and in many respects surprising. germany easily surpassed other countries in this respect, having had 39 women members in the last national assembly, 155 in the parliaments of the federated states and 4,000 on local and municipal bodies. in denmark the record of success that followed the election of women was astonishing. catt, president of the alliance, welcomed each new representative in the name of all the countries, and, although the victories had been won in times of stress and war, the rejoicing was without rivalry, for in the congress from the first day until the last no sign or mark of ill-feeling or enmity was to be found. not that the delegates forgot or disregarded the recent existence of the war; no one who saw them would suppose for a moment that they were meeting in any blind or sentimental paradise of fools. their differences and their nations' differences were plain in their minds and they neither forgot nor wished to forget the ruined areas, the starving children and the suffering peoples of the world. they met differing perhaps profoundly in their national sentiment, their memories and their judgments but determined to agree where agreement was to be found; to understand where understanding could be arrived at and to cooperate with the very best of their will and their intelligence in assuring the future stability of the world. an important report was that of the headquarters committee, consisting of catt, mrs. millicent garrett fawcett, first vice-president of the alliance, adela stanton coit, treasurer, and miss macmillan. mrs. coit was chairman the first two years and mrs. fawcett the rest of the time. after the congress at budapest in 1913 the official monthly paper "jus suffragii" was removed from rotterdam to london and the international headquarters established there. for the next seven years the three members of the committee resident in london held regular meetings, seventy altogether, consulting mrs. catt by letter or cable when necessary. miss mary sheepshanks was editor and headquarters secretary. "she occupied that post with great acceptance till 1919," said the report, "when it was with much regret that her resignation was accepted. mrs. elizabeth abbott was appointed to the place, where in connection with the preparations for the present congress her organizing capacity has been of special value." rosika schwimmer of hungary was appointed press secretary to furnish the news to the international press but her work had hardly begun when the war broke out and she resigned the position to take up work for peace. the report told of the meeting of the international officers and a number of the national presidents which took place in london in july, 1914, to make arrangements for the congress in berlin the next year. among the many social receptions given were one in the house of commons and one at the home of former prime minister balfour. mrs. catt had just started on her homeward voyage when the war began. the officers in london at once issued a manifesto in the name of the alliance and presented it to the british foreign office and the ammbassadors and ministers in london, which after pointing out the helplessness of women in this supreme hour said: "we women of twenty-six countries, having banded ourselves together in the international woman suffrage alliance with the object of obtaining the political means of sharing with men the power which shapes the fate of nations, appeal to you to leave untried no method of conciliation or arbitration for arranging international differences which may help to avert deluging half the civilized world in blood." they decided to cooperate with the british branch of the alliance in a public meeting, which was held august 3 with mrs. fawcett in the chair, and a resolution similar to the above was adopted. in the next issue of the international news, when war had been declared. fawcett and catt were preparing to send a deputation from the alliance to the peace conference to ask for a declaration for woman suffrage when the national woman suffrage association of france, through its president, mme. de witt-schlumberger, took the initiative and called for the national associations of the allied countries to send representatives to paris to bring pressure on it. they were cordially received by the members of the conference and a pronouncement in favor of the political equality of women and eligibility to the secretariat was placed in the constitution of the league of nations, which attracted the attention of the world. when the plan of holding the congress of the alliance at berlin in 1915 had to be given up holland sent an urgent invitation for that year but its acceptance was not considered feasible. the swedish auxiliary wanted it held at the time and place of the peace conference but this was found to be inadvisable. the majority of the officers and auxiliaries in the various countries wished to have a congress the next spring after the armistice but there proved to be insurmountable obstacles. toward the end of 1919 an invitation was accepted from the suffrage societies in spain to come to madrid in 1920. preparations were under way when local opposition developed which made it necessary to abandon the plan. switzerland had already invited the congress and it gladly went to geneva. in the report of mrs. coit, the treasurer, she said: "you will remember that at budapest in 1913 a sum of about 2,000 pounds was raised, mostly by promises of yearly donations for the period of two years. this sum was to finance headquarters and the paper till we met in berlin in 1915. in august, 1914, not even all the first instalments had been received, and from then on, owing to war conditions, it became impossible for some of our biggest donors to redeem their pledges. by the beginning of 1917 we found ourselves with an empty exchequer and facing the possibility of closing down our work. it was then that help came from our auxiliary in the united states. mrs. catt, with the help of her many devoted friends, raised a sum of $4,333, which was placed at our disposal and has enabled the alliance to keep going. when speaking of the united states' help i wish to make special mention of the splendid work for the alliance by miss clara m. hyde, private secretary for mrs. catt. to her incessant interest and energy it is due that the number of honorary associates in the u. s. a. now is at least three times as high as in any other country; also she has quite trebled the number of subscribers to the international news in the states. her devoted work is an example of what can be done by a single national auxiliary to further the development of the alliance, and i recommend her example for universal imitation." the united states auxiliary continued to add to the above sum and from may, 1916, to may, 1920, it sent in membership dues, subscriptions to the paper and donations $9,337. mrs. frank m. roessing, president of the pennsylvania suffrage association, was responsible for collecting over $5,000 of this amount. the money for the congress in geneva, about $3,500, was raised by a british committee of which rosamond smith was chairman and emmeline pethick-lawrence, treasurer. to this fund the united states, which had not suffered from the war to the extent of european countries, was a large contributor. at the close of the congress, there were no funds on hand for the coming year and the delegates from all countries were feeling the effects of the war financially. at this critical moment, katharine dexter mccormick of the us, corresponding secretary of the alliance, made a contribution of $5,000, and a little later, the leslie commission added $4,000. this, with individual subscriptions, raised the amount of about $15,000 and guaranteed the expenses for resuming and continuing the work of the alliance. from the organization of the alliance in berlin in 1904 catt had been the president and at no election had there been another candidate. her strong desire to relinquish the office was overruled at budapest. she went to geneva with the positive determination not to accept it again but she faced an equally determined body of delegates. not only was she supported by all from the allied countries, as they were known during the war, but she was equally acceptable to those from the central countries. she was literally compelled to retain the office. nominations for the other officers were made by ballot and submitted to the convention and the 10 receiving the highest number of votes constituted the board. they were as follows: mme. dewitt schlumberger (france), chrystal macmillan (great britain), anna b. wicksell (sweden), margery corbett ashby (great britain), dr. margherita ancona (italy), anna lindemann (germany), eleanor rathbone (great britain), katharine dexter mccormick (us), mme. girardet-vielle (switzerland), adele schreiber-krieger (germany). most of them were officers of the national association in their own countries. rathbone was also a member of the city council of liverpool. among the 22 sent as government delegates were viscountess astor, marie stritt, and addie worth bagley daniels. invited members were present from nine countries, including ten from india, one from japan and the wife of the tartar president of the parliament of crimea. there were fraternal delegates from six international associations; from associations in nearly every country in europe (fourteen in great britain) and from south africa, australia, argentina and uruguay. greetings were sent from associations in many countries including china. a number of the resolutions adopted were foreshadowed in the report of the proceedings. others were for the equal status of women with men on legislative and administrative bodies; full personal and civil rights for married women, including the right to their earnings and property; equal guardianship of their children by mothers; that the children of widows without provisions shall have the right to maintenance by the state paid to the mothers; that children born out of wedlock shall have the same right to maintenance and education from the father as legitimate children, and the mother the right of maintenance while incapacitated. resolutions called for the same opportunities for women as for men for all kinds of education and training and for entering professions, industries, civil service positions and performing administrative and judicial functions, and demanded that there shall be equal pay for equal work; that the right to work of women, married or unmarried, shall be recognized and that no special regulations shall be imposed contrary to the wishes of the women themselves. a higher moral standard for both men and women was called for and various resolutions were adopted against traffic in women, regulations of vice differentiating against women and state regulation of prostitution. the congress took a firm position on the league of nations and its recognition of women in the following resolution: "the women of thirty-one nations assembled in congress at geneva, convinced that in a strong society of nations based on the principles of right and justice lies the only hope of assuring the future peace of the world, call upon the women of the, whole world to direct their will, their intelligence and their influence towards the development and the consolidation of the society of nations on such a basis, and to assist it in every possible way in its work of securing peace and good will throughout the world." a resolution was adopted that a conference of representative women be summoned annually by the league of nations for the purpose of considering questions relating to the welfare and status of women; the conference to be held at the seat of the league, if possible, and the expenses paid by the league. the board instructed margery corbett ashby to arrange a deputation to the league of nations to present resolutions and to ask for the calling of the conference as soon as possible. on the last day of the congress, the state council of the canton and the municipal council of geneva gave an official reception and tea to the delegates and visitors. general elections were held in nigeria in 1947. the nigerian national democratic party (nndp) won three of the four elected seats in the legislative council. the elections were the first and only elections to be held under the 1946 constitution introduced by governor arthur richards. there were few changes to the electoral system created by the 1922 constitution; the number of elected members remained at four (three from lagos and one from calabar), and the only significant reform was the reduction in the annual income qualification for voters from £100 to £50. the number of official members was reduced from 27 to 16, and included the governoer, 13 ex officio members (the chief secretary, the chief commissioners of the three provinces, the attorney general, the financial secretary, the directors of agriculture, education, medical services and public works, the development secretary and the commissioners of labour and of the colony) and three nominated officials (senior residents in kano and oyo provinces and a resident from british cameroons. however, the number of appointed unofficials was increased from 15 to 24, with nine members from the northern provinces (the emirs of abuja, gwandu, igbirra and katsina and five others nominated by the house of assembly), six members from the western province (the ooni of ife, the oba of benin and four others nominated by the house of assembly), five members from the eastern provinces (all nominated by the house of assembly), one member from the colony of lagos and three members to represent otherwise unrepresented interests. seven candidates contested the elections, five for the three lagos seats and two for the calabar seat. in lagos the nndp nominated the journalist nnamdi azikiwe, barrister adeleke adedoyin and sitting council member abubakar olorun-nimbe, whilst f. o. coker and ernest ikoli (also a council member) ran as independents. however, ikoli withdrew his candidacy prior to election day. in calabar the seat was contested by the incumbent okon efiong and e. e. e. anwan, both of whom ran as independents. syncopacma centralis is a moth of the family gelechiidae. it was described by piskunov in 1979. it is found in mongolia. syncopacma altaica is a moth of the family gelechiidae. it was described by oleksiy v. bidzilya in 2005. it is found in the altai mountains of central asia. ranbir singh bisht (1928–1998) was an indian painter and the principal of the college of fine arts, lucknow university. born in 1928 at landsdowne in garhwal, in the present day indian state of uttarakhand, he secured drawing teacher`s training certificate and diploma in fine arts from the government college of art and craft, lucknow. he conducted many solo shows in a number of indian cities besides a show in new york and participated in group shows in frankfurt and tokyo. he was also a participant of the 4th triennale at new delhi in 1972. lalit kala akademi awarded him their fellowship in 1987. he was also fellow of the up state lalit kala akademi (184) and unesco. the government of india awarded him the fourth highest civilian award of the padma shri, in 1991. bisht, who was the vice president of the uttar pradesh state lalit kala akademi, died in 1998, aged 70. he was married to vimala, a ceramic and terracotta artist and the couple had three daughters and one son. shazia sobia () is a pakistani politician who has been a member of the national assembly of pakistan, since august 2018. previously she was member of the national assembly from november 2015 to may 2018. she was elected to the national assembly of pakistan as a candidate of pakistan peoples party (ppp) on a reserved seat for women from sindh in 2015 following the resignation of alizeh iqbal haider. she was re-elected to the national assembly as a candidate of ppp on a seat reserved for women from sindh in the 2018 pakistani general election. sports engineering is a fast growing field of engineering which encompasses the design and production of sports equipment and facilities, performance measurement and athletic feedback systems, and the study of kinematics, dynamics and biomechanics as they pertain to sport. the field overlaps other fields of science and engineering, including physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and materials science, and many practitioners hold degrees in those fields rather than in sports engineering specifically. while sports engineering is not a well known field among pre-college students, professional societies are working to change that. study programs in sports engineering and technology at either the undergraduate or graduate level are now offered at a number of universities. a sports engineering congress is biannually held, hosted by the international sports engineering association, termed 'the engineering of sport'. this conference brings world leading researchers, sports professionals and industry organizations together to celebrate the profession, showcasing new innovations in both research, and industry. the next congress will be hosted in march 26–29 in brisbane, australia.

institute in 1929. he gained his phd from the university of edinburgh in 1925, and in 1931 received a further honorary dsc from the university of melbourne. around 1935 he was joined at the institute by sanford sterling munro. in 1927 he was elected a fellow of the royal society of edinburgh his proposers including james hartley ashworth, james cossar ewart and sir robert blyth greig. in 1932 he was awarded the keith medal for his contributions to the study of the biology of fowl. he served as vice president of the society from 1943 to 1946 and secretary 1955 to 1960. in the second world war he served as acting director while the former director, francis albert eley crew frse, served in the war, and in 1947 he fully replaced him as director alongside prof james edward nichols. the overall speciality was in poultry research, especially chicken reproduction. in the new years honours list on 1 january 1955 he was made a commander of the order of the british empire. he died at 64 strathearn road in edinburgh on 4 may 1981 and was buried at grange cemetery. the simple gravestone lies in the modern southern section of the west extension. greenwood served in the camel field ambulance (part of the australian imperial forces) in palestine in the first world war. he married twice: firstly to vera crockett in 1923; secondly to josephine peace (1907–2001). he had no children by either marriage and ironically is presumed to have been infertile. megatone is the third studio album by klaus schulze's side project, richard wahnfried, released in 1984. on this album, schulze collaborates with michael garvens, axel-glenn müller, ulli schober, michael shrieve and harald katzsch. this was the first edition of the event, the title was won by saketh myneni who beat jordan thompson in the final 7–5, 6–3. the old hampden academy building is a historic school building on united states route 1a in hampden, maine. built in 1842-43, it was the home of hampden academy, now the town's public high school, for many years. the building is now part the campus of the mcgraw school, a local elementary school. it was listed on the national register of historic places in 1975 for its educational and architectural significance. the former hampden academy building stands on the west side of us route 1a in hampden village, just south of its junction with cottage street. it stands at the back of a semicircular drive that is now almost completely surrounded by parking for the mcgraw school, whose modern section is attached to the rear of this building. the academy building is a -story brick building, with a front-facing gable roof and granite foundation. a square tower rises above the roof ridge, with a short first stage, and a taller belfry stage with louvered round-arch openings. the front (west-facing) facade is symmetrical, three bays wide, with a projecting entry vestibule in the center bay, and a fully pedimented gable with a half-round louver at its center. the entry has pilasters at all four corners (as does the building) and the entrance is recessed in a paneled opening, with a balustrade balcony above. hampden academy was established in 1803 and constructed its first building on this site in 1806. that building was destroyed by fire in february 1842, and the present building was built soon thereafter. it is one of a handful of brick greek revival academy buildings, resembling the bloomfield academy in skowhegan (1840) and the somerset academy in athens. it was damaged by fire in 1854, and briefly closed due to low enrollment in the 1880s. it has been used since then as a classroom facility by the hampden academy and the local school district. nocoleche station now known as nocoleche nature reserve was a pastoral lease that operated as both a sheep station and a cattle station in outback new south wales. it is located approximately north east of white cliffs and west of bourke on the paroo river south of the queensland border. in 1894 the station was carrying approximately 110,000 sheep. one of the early managers was walter gamson who ran nocoleche from 1870 until his death in 1898 and also was superintendent for frederick armytage's properties in victoria, new south wales, and queensland. a company, the australian sheep farms limited, with directors including sir arthur stanley, r. h. caird and g. slade raised £400,000 in capital to acquire toorale, dunlop and nocoleche stations in 1925. by 1927 the condition of the property had deteriorated and cattle were introduced, portion of the station had also been resumed by the government. an auction was held at nocoleche in 1966 with three blocks offered. the homestead block and two other blocks with areas of and were passed in after not reaching the reserve price. the treweeke family owned the property from 1928, the property had grazed an average of 30,000 sheep and 700 cattle producing an average of 800 bales of wool and producing 8,000 lambs since 1960. the property was left to the grandchildren of owner george treweeke. his grandson john peken bought the interests of the others in 1974, and lived there with his family until 1978, when the property was bought by national parks and became nocoleche nature reserve. hermann reinhold fehland (september 21, 1856 – january 14, 1907) was an american politician and businessman. born in the province of brandenburg, germany, fehland emigrated with his parents at six months old to the united states and settled in mayville, wisconsin. fehland was involved with the hardware business. he then moved to merrill, wisconsin and continued to work in the hardware business: the h. r. fehland & company. fehland was also involved with the national bank of merrill. fehland served on the merrill common council and as mayor of merrill. he also served as county clerk for lincoln county, wisconsin. in 1887, fehland served in the wisconsin state assembly and was a democrat. fehland died in merrill, wisconsin. the 2010 croatian football super cup was the ninth edition of the croatian football super cup, a football match contested by the winners of the previous season's croatian first league and croatian football cup competitions. the match was played on 17 july 2010 at stadion maksimir in split between 2009–10 croatian first league winners dinamo zagreb and 2009–10 croatian football cup winners hajduk split. the october 2015 aden missile attack occurred on 6 october 2015, when a group of attackers targeted the al-qasr hotel which housed the vice president and prime minister of yemen; and served as a de facto military base for the arab coalition and the yemen army units loyal to president abd rabbuh mansur hadi. although the houthis were first suspected by yemeni transport minister badr basalma of being behind the attack, the islamic state of iraq and the levant claimed responsibility for the attack. villa arbelaiz, also called villa arbelaïtz, was a belle époque-style villa in saint-jean-de-luz, pyrénées-atlantiques, france. it was the residence-in-exile of the carlist politician tirso de olazábal y lardizábal, count of arbelaiz. in 1880 was built the first casino of saint-jean-de-luz, known as the "grand casino", which was an incontournable element of the new seaside resort to distract european elite that at the time settled in the commune to spend summer months. the "grand casino" was built by victor benquet at the limit of the commune in front of the beach. it was an edifice with 130 meters of façade and an important garden. it fell into the hands of many owners (bankers and traders from bayonne and bordeaux) holding an important role in the social life of the region until its bankruptcy and subsequent closure near 1895. by the 1890s the property was purchased by tirso de olazábal y lardizábal, count of arbelaiz, and graziela zileri del verme degli obbizi, duchess of cadaval. olazábal, the chief deputy ("jefe delegado") of carlism in vascongadas and navarre between 1887 and 1913, had moved to saint-jean-de-luz after the carlist defeat in the civil war, remaining there ever since and acquiring several properties in the province of labourd. graziela zileri, an italian aristocrat whose maternal grandmother was the famous duchess of berry, was married to the portuguese aristocrat jaime álvares pereira de melo, 8th duke of cadaval (branch of the house of braganza). after the liberal wars, the cadaval had fled to spain, where they supported carlism, and then settled in france. the huge edifice was then divided into three villas and the style of the front was improved. from left to right, the first villa (the largest of the three), called "arbelaïtz", became the residence of the counts of arbelaiz and their ten children. the second one, called "itchola", became the residence of tirso's son ramón de olazábal y álvarez de eulate and his portuguese wife, maria luísa de mendóça rolim de moura barreto, daughter of the counts of azambuja and granddaughter of infanta ana de jesus maria of portugal. the third villa, called "eguskitza", was the vacation home of the duchess of cadaval and her family, whose permanent residence at the time was in pau. each villa had a staircase and an independent entrance; the first two (both belonging) to the olazábal family, had a communication to the main floor by a gallery. the second level of the building was raised, the windows were enlarged and the roofs were decorated with pinnacles and finials as well as wooden lace skirts under the eaves of the gables, in the style of a swiss chalet, as in many villas of the belle époque. villas itchola and esguzkitza were flanked by towers, high above the old gallery of arcades. villa arbelaiz owed its name to tirso's title and the majorat ("mayorazgo") of his family. with the death of his father in 1865, tirso had inherited, among other properties located in guipúzcoa, the and its formidable private garden, in irun. this ancestral estate had remained in the hands of his family since the reign of philip ii of spain and hosted various historical figures (elisabeth of valois, henry iii of france, catherine de' medici, archduke albert of austria, anne of austria, charles iv of lorraine, catherine of braganza, philip v of spain and charles x of france, etc.). built in the sixteenth century by the powerful , it passed by marriage to the olazábal family after the wedding of tirso’s great-grandmother, the dowager , maria teresa de murguía y arbelaiz, xv lady ("señora") of murguía and vi lady ("señora") of arbelaiz, with domingo josé de olazábal y aranzate, in 1756. the villa contained the art collection assembled by the arbelaiz family since the 16th century and mainly composed of gifts received from the historical figures who stayed in the arbelaiz palace between 1565 and 1782. it included works attributed to correggio, carracci, van dyck and murillo, but also later acquisitions of paintings by léon bonnat, eduardo rosales, santiago arcos and hubert-denis etcheverry. the collection also included sculpture and pieces of goldsmithery. one of its highlights was the , an alabaster statue of the our lady of mercy ("nuestra señora de las mercedes") dating from the second half of the seventeenth century, which was given by charles ii of spain to the general of the royal army and tirso's ancestor "don" francisco de abaria. while living in villa arbelaiz, tirso de olazábal was noted for occasional saint-jean-de-luz conferences with other carlist leaders. in pieces published by spanish press envoys he was presented, “surrounded by his family”, as sort of a local tourist attraction. during the early 1900s, villa arbelaiz became a centre of social life, notorious for welcoming notable personalities associated with the legitimist movement as well as close friends and relatives of the olazábal family. among its regular guests was don jaime de borbón, who stayed there several times for more than a decade. other distinguished guests included the former queen natalie of serbia, princes and princesses of bourbon-parma, lord ashburnham, italian aristocrats like the counts zileri dal verme and emo capodilista, the duchess of cadaval, the counts o'byrne of corville and several legitimist politicians. since the carlist defeat in the 1872–1876 war, olazábal had joined a committee co-ordinating carlist activities in france. as his previous residences in the area, villa arbelaiz turned into a carlist émigré headquarters and olazábal kept the conspiratorial activity that years before had led the liberal press to consider him one of the most insatiable and dangerous exiles. at least in 1905 he ventured to enter spain, accompanying don jaime during his visit to covadonga. also later he kept feeding the press with news about royal whereabouts. by those years, the spanish government demanded that the french tightly control olazábal and his son-in-law, julio de urquijo e ibarra. as paris was upset with olazábal’s public criticism of the republican secular education system, in october 1910 he was ordered to move north of the loire; his duties were taken over by urquijo, permitted to stay in the south. it was only in may 1911 that he was allowed to come back to labourd, though some sources claim he was expulsed from france in 1912. with the beginning of the first world war, the olazábal family, regarded as close to the austrian circles and known for its "germanophilia", found itself pressured by french public opinion. in fact, tirso de olazábal had kept during his years of exile close relations with the emperor franz joseph, with the count of caserta, with the dukes in bavaria and other personalities with political or family connections to the imperial circles. olazábal was also a close friend of robert of parma - with whom he kept a regular correspondence over 30 years (particularly on hunting issues) - whose daughter, zita, married in 1911 the archduke charles and became, in 1916, empress consort of austria. some of his children, particularly josé joaquín, were close friends of the bourbon-parma family being regular guests at the château de chambord and at wartegg castle in rorschach. the olazábal's circle of friends in saint-jean-de-luz also included the count john o'byrne and his wife, eleanor (lory) von hübner, daughter of the austrian politician and diplomat count joseph von hübner, himself a profound admirer of the old aristocratic regime and the last survivor of the metternich school. this network of relations and friendships led the olazábal to leave france in 1915, fearing reprisals by the french authorities. they moved provisionally to san lorenzo de el escorial and then settled permanently in san sebastián, where tirso remained until his death in 1921. although the family remained in possession of villa arbelaiz and its other properties in the area for a few more decades, they did not return to live in saint-jean-de-luz. pavel solomonovich yushkevich (; 29 june 1873, odessa – december 6, 1945, moscow) was a russian philosopher. he was a menshevik activist and participated as one of the russian machists in "studies in the philosophy of marxism" in 1908. this publication prompted criticism in lenin's "materialism and empirio-criticism". by the 1920s yushkevich abandoned political activities and worked at the marx-engels institute in moscow from 1922. he attended odessa high school, where he became active in a marxist study circle. he was arrested and jailed, however, before being sent to exile in kishinev, where he showed particular interest in mathematics. he went into exile in france and studied mathematics at the sorbonne in paris. upon graduation he returned to odessa. here he had to attend lectures to gain a qualification recognised in russia. he later became a journalist. yushkevich saw no need for marxism to be fearful of "bourgeois theories", claiming that if marxism was as powerful as it purported to be, it would simply assimilate other theories rather than be assimilated by them. his son, adolph p. yushkevich, was a historian of mathematics. the 1953 cupa româniei final was the 16th final of romania's most prestigious football cup competition. it was disputed between cca bucureşti and flamura roşie arad, and was won by flamura roşie arad after a game with 1 goal, in extra time. it was the second cup for flamura roşie arad after the one from 1947–48 season. rajdevi temple (devanagari:राजदेवी मन्दिर) is a famous hindu temple and shakti peethas in eastern nepal. the primary deity is rajdevi. it is situated in the rajdevi tole, rajbiraj, saptari. this temple is a main attraction for nepali and indian pilgrims. people are likely to come here in bada dashain. thousands of goats are sacrificed here during dashain. the temple holds great historical, cultural and religious significance in the local and neighbouring areas. the statue of the deity rajdevi was found 1000 years ago and has been kept in the same place. the present structure of the temple was reconstructed in 90's. this temple is known to be the family temple of brother of king janak, king kushadhwaja. the temple was earlier restore by sens of makwanpur in around 14th century. every year, thousands of pilgrims from nepal, india and other countries visit rajdevi temple to worship the bhagawati. during the festivals of dashain and tihar, there is presence of even more worshipers. toxin cll1 is a toxin from the venom of the mexican scorpion "centruroides limpidus limpidus", which changes the activation threshold of sodium channels by binding to neurotoxin binding site 4, resulting in increased excitability. the toxin cll1 is named after its producing species, "centruroides limpidus limpidus". along with cll1, multiple toxins are excreted in its venom. cll1 is a long chain neuropeptide belonging to the scorpion toxin superfamily. cll1 is classified as a member of the beta-toxin subfamily. the global secondary structure of cll1 is similar to that of other scorpion beta-toxins, including the alpha-helix, triple stranded antiparallel beta-sheet, and the four disulfide bridges. the higher affinity for crustacean rather than mammalian sodium channels has been attributed to the presence of trp18, a hydrophobic amino acid at the surface of cll1. cll1 targets, like the classical scorpion beta-toxin, the voltage-gated sodium channels (na). beta-toxins bind to the extracellular end of the voltage sensor s4 at the loop between the 3rd and 4th segment of the second domain. by binding it alters the voltage dependent opening of the channel. cll1 influences three intrinsic properties of the targeted sodium channel: cll1 binds to transmembrane segment s4 of the voltage gated sodium channels. its binding shifts the activation threshold of the sodium channel towards more negative membrane potentials. seven different isoforms of the voltage gated sodium channels (na1.1-na1.7) have been studied in the presence of cll1. in almost all of these seven isoforms, cll1 affects voltage dependent activation. it has only a minor effect on the na1.1-1.4 and na1.7 channels, but a much larger effect on isoform na1.6. cll1 causes a reduction of the peak current when bound to the voltage activated sodium channels. this effect was present in all but one of the seven tested isoforms (na1.1-na1.6). the only isoform that showed no reduction in peak current was na1.7. cll1 can induce resurgent currents. this effect has also been demonstrated for other beta-scorpion toxins. the resurgent current is strongest in na1.6, but it is also present to a much lesser extent in other isoforms of the voltage activated sodium channels. the ld of the cll1 toxin in mice is 85 μg/kg. a possible treatment for an intoxication by cll1 toxin is the use of single chain variable fragments (scfv). other possible treatments find their origin in traditional mexican medicine. several herbs used in traditional mexican medicine have been proven to be effective in treating an intoxication from the whole venom from "c. limpidus limpidus" in mice, including "bouvardia ternifolia". third side () is a moderate political party in hong kong. headed by former democrats tik chi-yuen, the party claimed to offer an alternative middle-of-the road path in the increasingly polarised politics between the pan-democracy camp and the pro-beijing camp, on achieving democracy in the "third road". it is headed by chairman tik chi-yuen, former vice-chairman of the democratic party and vice-convenor wong sing-chi, former democrat legislator. wong was expelled by the democrats in july 2015 for urging legislators to accept the beijing-decreed political reform package. tik subsequently quit in september, citing differences on the pursuit of democracy. the party's 20-member preparatory committee included former democrats chan ka-wai and chow yick-hay, and centaline property agency co- founder shih wing-ching, who was also from path of democracy, the think tank set up by fellow moderate and former civic party legislator ronny tong ka-wah. others included hung fook tong executive director ricky szeto wing-fu and shue yan university associate professor lee shu-kam. the party was inaugurated at a 7 january ceremony. wong sing-chi was a candidate in the legislative council by-election in early 2016, but lost the race by coming in the fifth place. the party is actively considering filling candidates in the 2016 legislative council elections. on 22 july 2016, ten members of the third side quit which included two vice-chairmen marcus liu tim-shing and ben kuen ping-yiu, who were all part of the team that was going to run in the new territories east constituency. they stated that the party had fallen short of their expectation to forge a new brand of politics perched between the two traditional blocs. the party argued that their departure was due to the party's decision not to field any candidates in new territories east in the upcoming election. the party failed to win any seat in the election. on 19 december 2017, macau denied entry to third side member wong chun-long, for security reasons despite inviting him to attend a conference on macau's finance and information technology sectors. the 2016 irish budget was the irish government budget for the 2016 fiscal year, which was presented to dáil éireann on 13 october 2015. the minister for finance michael noonan outlined the taxation measures with public expenditure minister brendan howlin detailing the spending. families were the big winners in the budget, with a €5 increase in the monthly child benefit, free gp care for the under 12s and extra free pre-school childcare announced. easy money is a 1934 british comedy film directed by redd davis and starring lilian oldland, gerald rawlinson and george carney. it was a quota quickie made at elstree studios. ben aqua is an american multimedia artist, musician, and photographer based in austin, texas. aqua was born in brooklyn, new york. he studied graphic design at the university of texas at austin, where he developed his first solo music and performance art projects, assacre and mvsclz, while organizing several diy/avant-garde art and music events throughout austin with the collective totally wreck production institute. shortly after completing his degree, he began documenting his eccentric peers in photographic portraits involving "totally nonsensical, zany situations in beautifully/bizarrely decorated spaces". in 2011, aqua founded the experimental electronic music and art label #feelings. the label produced early music releases by artists lotic and rabit, who later released official remixes for björk in 2015. aqua released his debut ep "reset yourself" in 2013, which interview magazine described as "high energy and refreshingly difficult to define". he followed the ep with official remixes for yacht and strfkr, leading up to the 2014 release of his full-length album "virtual anticipation", which vice thump described as having a "post-human outlook". his 2014 "4c1d" ep drew comparisons to justin timberlake and the prodigy. in 2013, aqua created a graphic work depicting the words "never log off" in a large, bold, and underlined font. the graphic spread widely across tumblr, which led to his creation of a t-shirt featuring the design, distributed via #feelings. the never log off shirt garnered public interest and support from people all over the world, including celebrities such as michael stipe of r.e.m., porter robinson, and casey spooner of fischerspooner. in 2015, aqua accused clothing and accessories retailer hot topic of stealing the never log off shirt concept. in 2014, aqua was invited by resident advisor to create a podcast to accompany an article written by adam harper entitled "the online underground: a new kind of punk?" the podcast (ra.434) was met with much criticism from conservative ra readers, mostly based on aqua's open support of controversial label pc music and artists such as a. g. cook and sophie. ra described aqua as embodying "the online underground's attitude and approach". the podcast was chosen by fact magazine as their "mix of the week", calling it "a creative, enjoyable blend of...boundary-free dance oddness". in 2015, aqua collaborated with ary warnaar from anamanaguchi on a song called "anarchy", which launched as an interactive website that skrillex's label nest hq called "the cutest dismissal of authority you'll ever experience". tharindu is a sinhalese first name with its literal meaning being "moon". bill nunn (born 1953) is an american actor. william, bill or billy nunn may also refer to: this was the first edition of the event, and was won by tristan lamasine and nils langer who beat saketh myneni and sanam singh in the final 1–6, 6–3, [10–8]. kaliseptine (asks) is a neurotoxin which can be found in the snakelocks anemone "anemonia viridis". it belongs to a class of sea anemone neurotoxins that inhibits voltage-gated potassium channels. “kali” is derived from the latin word [kalium], which means potassium. the suffix “septine” is derived from the greek word “sepsis” [σῆψις], which means “decay” or “putrefaction”. this suffix was added to distinguish it from the related toxin kalicludine. kaliseptine was first isolated from the snakelocks anemone, which at the time was called "anemonia sulcata". kaliseptine is abbreviated as asks, which stands for anemonia sulcata kaliseptine.
the rational nomenclature of kaliseptine is kappa-actitoxin-avd6a. the first letter kappa indicates its molecular target, namely a voltage-gated potassium channel. actitoxin is a neurotoxin derived from the actiniidae. avd denotes that it is extracted from "anemonia viridis". finally, 6a specifies that this was the sixth acititoxin of which the full-length amino acid sequence was published and that this is the first isoform. kaliseptine was first isolated from the snakelocks anemone "anemonia viridis", previously known as "anemonia sulcata". the snakelocks anemone releases its venom via both nematocysts and ectodermal glands. kaliseptine is a type i anemone toxin. although typically the type i toxins are located in both organelles, the location for kaliseptine has not yet been reported. kaliseptine is a 36 amino acid peptide and contains three disulfide bonds. kaliseptine shows structural similarities with other sea anemone toxins like "actinia equina" k-channel toxin (aek), "bunodosoma granulifera" k-channel toxin (bgk) and "stichodactyla helianthus" k-channel toxin (shk). these toxins can be classified as type i voltage-gated potassium channel inhibiting peptides, based on their size and structure. type i peptide toxins typically consist of 35 to 37 amino acids and show a high rate of homology in amino acid sequence.
the residues which are demonstrated to be most essential for potassium channel binding are the adjacent lys-24 and tyr-25, which are conserved in all four orthologous peptides. the allosteric effects of this binding have not been reported. kaliseptine competitively binds the dendrotoxin (dtx) receptor domain on the voltage-gated potassium channel k1.2. the ic for inhibition of the k1.2 k channel by kaliseptine is 140 nm as compared to 2.1 nm by dtx itself. the k1.2 channel is important for reducing action potential frequency and facilitating repolarisation following an action potential. it is not known whether kaliseptine has any additional targets, like dtx does. kaliseptine has been shown to reduce ion current through the k1.2 k channel during depolarization. since it has affinity for the dtx receptor domain, kaliseptine may act on the channel in a similar manner as the agonist dtx. whether kaliseptine exerts its action by hindering conformational changes of the k1.2 channel, is not certain. evidence was provided that dtx binds in close proximity to the external mouth of the channel, leading to occlusion of the pore. it is not certain whether this partial occlusion fully explains the inhibiting effect. the exact mechanism by which kaliseptine alters k1.2 function is still debated. kaliseptine is thought to act in conjunction with other neurotoxins present in the snakelocks anemone venom, altogether prolonging the action potential. limited in vitro studies were performed on the toxic effects of isolated kaliseptine. the combined venom of the snakelocks anemone is known to be toxic when applied directly onto mammalian hearts. the venom then causes an increase of the action potential duration. when the nematocysts of the snakelocks anemone come into contact with human skin, the venom can cause redness, swelling and pain. there is no known treatment for intoxication with kaliseptine. the suggested treatment for the venom of snakelocks anemone consists of symptomatic treatment and prevention of further nematocyst discharge. dhuluʿiya () is a town in salah ad-din governorate, iraq situated on the left bank of the tigris, near the mouth of the ʿadhaim, some east of samarra and north of baghdad. the population is predominantly sunni arab of the jubur tribe. sa'ad al-izzi of "the new york times" reported in 2003 that many people in the town had a negative attitude towards the american military occupation and a positive reception towards saddam hussein, opposing the invasion of iraq. sectarian violence between sunnis and shia occurred in 2004–2007. however, in 2009 al-izzi stated that the town was peaceful when he visited. the town was partially taken by the islamic state in iraq and the levant during their june 2014 offensive. in december 2014, it was retaken by tribal fighters, the iraqi army, and the popular mobilization units in the dhuluiya offensive. lucky loser is a 1934 british comedy film directed by reginald denham

enclave of summer residences built in the early 20th century in southern harpswell, maine. the district includes ten shingle style houses, a colonial revival dining hall, and a greek revival meeting hall. the auburn colony, an exclusive company of businessmen from auburn, maine, was responsible for their development. the district was listed on the national register of historic places in 1985. the town of harpswell consists of several fingers of land, some of which are islands joined to the mainland by bridges, on the east side of casco bay on the southern coast of maine. the principal western finger extends from brunswick in the north to potts point at its very southern tip. several miles north of potts point, in south harpswell, the peninsula narrows sharply. on the west side of harpswell neck road (maine state route 123) near this point is where the auburn colony is located. the main access road to the colony is located just south of a tennis court on the colony property. lining a small network of roads in a roughly east–west orientation are the ten houses of the colony, with the two common buildings just to their north. the auburn colony was founded in 1877 by a group of businessmen from auburn, "for the purpose of securing the material advantage of society, health, and recreation." twenty small gothic victorian cottages were built on the property they acquired, which were tragically destroyed by fire in 1899, although the two community buildings survived. the colony was rebuilt, with a reduced membership, resulting in construction ten -story shingle style houses. only three have known architects, all credited to the lewiston firm of coombs & gibbs. in addition to the already-mentioned facilities, the association has a salt-water swimming pool and a small beach. blood-depressing substance-1 (bds-1), also known as kappa-actitoxin-avd4a, is a polypeptide found in the venom of the snakelocks anemone "anemonia sulcata". bds-1 is a neurotoxin that modulates voltage-dependent potassium channels, in particular kv3-family channels, as well as certain sodium channels. this polypeptide belongs to the sea anemone type 3 toxin peptide family. bds-1 brings about a decrease in blood pressure by blocking kv3 potassium channels. thus, this protein is named after its antihypertensive function. bds-1 is a toxin secreted by the nematocyst of "anemonia sulcata" (mediterranean snakelocks sea anemone). bds-1 is a 43 amino acids long polypeptide chain, which consists of six cysteines linked by three disulfide bridges. the secondary structure of bds-1 possesses three-stranded antiparallel β-sheets, along with one more short antiparallel β-sheet at its n-terminus. when viewed along the polypeptide strand, its structure showa a right-handed twist. bds-1 shares structural homology with the toxin bds-2, which belongs to the same type-3 peptide family. it also displays around 24–26% identity with toxins asi (atx-i), asii (atx-ii), and asv (atx-v) from "anemonia sulcata" and axi (ap-a) from "anthopleura xanthogrammica". bds-1 is an inhibitor of the fast inactivating kv3-family channels, including kv3.1, kv3.2 and kv3.4 channels. additionally, bds-1 affects the inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels, nav1.1, nav1.3, nav1.6 and nav1.7. bds-1 modifies the voltage-dependent gating properties of kv3 potassium channels by binding to the voltage sensitive domains on s3b and s4 subunits. the toxin elicits a depolarizing shift in the conductance-voltage relation, making it more difficult to open, and slows both the activation and inactivation kinetics of these ion channels. in addition, bds-1 enhances the current flowing through several voltage-gated sodium channels. the toxin binds to the s3-s4 linker of domain iv and slows the inactivation of the channel, resulting in increased current upon depolarization. bds-1 has a very strong potency for the human nav1.7 channel. in mice, bds-1 slows the inactivation of nav1.3 channels but has smaller effects on the inactivation of nav1.1 and nav1.6 channels. this is probably due to a different channel sensitivity for the toxin. by targeting kv3.1a channels, bds-1 concentrations at or above 3 μm are toxic to mouse fibroblasts. alam sutera lrt station is a light rapid transit station at alam sutera, a township in bukit jalil about 21 km south of kuala lumpur, the capital of

franklin dyall, lester matthews and dorothy boyd. it was a quota quickie made at twickenham studios. theridiosoma gemmosum is a species of spider in the family theridiosomatidae, known as ray spiders. it is widely distributed in the holarctic region. a small spider with a shiny globular abdomen, it constructs a conical orb web. "theridiosoma gemmosum" is a small spider. females are 2–3 mm long, males smaller still at 1.5–2 mm. in both sexes, the carapace (upper surface of the cephalothorax) is dark brown; the upper surface of the abdomen (opisthosoma) is silvery with variable dark lines and marks. the abdomen is globular, more or less circular from above. the male palpal bulbs and the female epigyne are distinctive. "theridiosoma gemmosum" constructs a small orb web. the radii do not run directly to a central hub as with other orb webs, but are first joined into groups of two or three before combining to meet in the middle. a single thread runs from the centre to a nearby support, and is held by the spider. while the spider is holding this thread the tension pulls the web into a conical shape, described as "like an umbrella turned inside out". when a prey item hits the web, the spider releases the tension, causing the prey to become more enmeshed. the species was first described by ludwig koch in 1877, as "theridium gemmosum". ("theridium" is an alternative spelling of "theridion".) koch did not explain the origin of the species name "gemmosum". the latin word ' means "set with jewels"; koch several times used the description "'", german for "mother of pearl". in 1879, octavius pickard-cambridge described what he considered to be a different although closely related species. he decided that was not a "theridion", and placed it in a new genus, "theridiosoma", as "t. argenteolum". eugène simon in 1881 recognized that koch's and pickard-cambridge's species were the same and united them under the current name "theridiosoma gemmosum". "theridiosoma gemmosum" has a holarctic distribution, i.e. it is found throughout the northern and central parts of the northern hemisphere. it is described as "rare" in northern europe, including great britain and ireland. it is usually found in damp habitats, among low-growing vegetation. antoine dalibard (born march 10, 1983 in laval) is a former french cyclist. self portrait is an album by japanese pianist junko onishi, released on aplil 29, 1998 in japan. naked among wolves () is a 2015 german drama film directed by philipp kadelbach. it is based on the novel of the same name by bruno apitz, which was published in 1958 by the east german publishing house. it was created for television, it is the third film version of the literary text after the 1963 version. the film takes place in the years 1944 and 1945 towards the end of world war ii in the buchenwald concentration camp. prisoners in the nazi concentration camp risk their lives by taking in a young jewish boy rescued from a polish ghetto. the camp commander hears about the boy and tightens up on the already cruelly treated prisoners. they whisk the boy away from being discovered, always staying one step ahead of the nazi guards and the ireful commandant. the boy is eventually discovered and the prisoners who protected him now face certain death. they are freed by the allies in a dramatic but altogether expected turn of events. marta markiewicz (born 13 june 1989), better known as sarsa or sarsa markiewicz, is a polish singer, songwriter, and record producer. she first achieved mainstream attention due to her 2015 single "naucz mnie" (teach me), which occupied the number-one position on the polish singles chart for six consecutive weeks, and was certified diamond by the polish society of the phonographic industry (zpav). her debut studio album "zapomnij mi" was released on 28 august 2015. sarsa was born on 13 june 1989 as marta markiewicz in słupsk. she attended the pomeranian academy in słupsk, majoring in art education. sarsa first broke into the music industry in 2011, while participating in the second season of "must be the music". three years later, she took part in the polish version of "the x factor". in 2014, she participated in the fifth season of "the voice of poland". she was originally a member of team edyta górniak, but was later stolen by team tomson & baron. in the quarterfinals, she withdrew from the competition due to health issues. after being signed to universal music polska, sarsa released her debut single "naucz mnie" (teach me) on 30 april 2015. the official music video was released two weeks later. the song peaked at number-one on the polish singles chart and stayed there for six straight weeks. from 17–18 july, she represent poland at the baltic song contest, performing "naucz mnie" and "indiana". she won the audience award. on 14 august, she released her second single "indiana". the song peaked at number-one on the polish new hits chart and in the top twenty of the polish singles chart. two weeks later, her debut studio album "zapomnij mi" (forget me) was released. the album peaked at number-two on the polish albums chart. she was nominated for best polish act at the 2015 mtv europe music awards, but lost to margaret. "zapomnij mi" was released as the album's third single on 7 december. in 2016, sarsa revealed that her second album will be released in 2017. she's working with producer steve manowski, rapper vnm and other producents on the album. the first single from new album, "bronię się", was released on 10 march 2017. sarsa will set new music video for her second official single "volta" on 20 may. franciscus "frank" adrianus ludewig (22 october 1863 – 16 september 1940) was a dutch architect who lived and worked mostly in the united states. he is primarily known for his church architecture. two of the buildings which he designed are on the national register of historic places. ludewig was born in beverwijk, netherlands and studied architecture at the polytechnical institute in delft where he befriended another future architect, jacobus van gils (1869–1919), whose sister dorothea he married in 1896. the couple had two children, james w. ludewig and frank m. ludewig. after graduation, ludewig worked at the amsterdam office of architect p.j.h. cuypers, probably as a draftsman. in 1902 he began his own office in arnhem and moved two years later to nijmegen. he built several houses, reconstructed wijchen castle and restored churches in beek, leur and rosmalen. in 1912 he migrated to the united states, hoping to find opportunities to design churches. he set up an architectural office in st. louis, missouri and later moved to holland, michigan. in the nineteen years of his american career, ludewig built 21 churches and chapels, 11 schools and 10 presbyteries. his most important work, and one of his last, was the pontifical college josephinum in columbus, ohio. ludewig retired at the age of 69 and, after suffering from heart ailment for 18 months, died in grand rapids, michigan in 1940. his grave is at the pilgrim home cemetery, holland, michigan. allagelena opulenta is a species of funnel weaver spider belonging to the agelenidae family. the species was first described by ludwig carl christian koch in 1878. "a. opulenta" is native to japan, china and korea. it is similar in appearance to "a. bistriata" but can be distinguished by a number of features including the structure of its patella and the shape of its retrolateral tibial apophysis. its venom is used to make the insecticidal toxin agelenin. sigrid lorenzen rupp (1943 – may 27, 2004) was a german-american architect. she ran a private practice, slr architects, in palo alto, california, from 1976 to 1998, and specialized in designing facilities for tech companies in silicon valley. rupp was born in bremerhaven, germany on january 3, 1943 and migrated to oakland, california with her family at the age of 10. she became interested in architecture as a child during the german reconstruction boom after world war ii and went on to study architecture at the university of california, berkeley, graduating in 1966; she received her california architecture license in 1971. upon graduation rupp worked for several architectural firms, including van bourg/nakamura associates of san francisco, d'amico associates of mill valley, hawley & peterson of mountain valley and spencer associates of palo alto. rupp worked for various firms in the san francisco bay area before establishing her own practice, slr architects, in 1976. she specialized in technical and industrial facilities and provided designs for many early tech companies in silicon valley, including amdahl corporation, apple computer, claris, ibm, raychem, sun microsystems and tandem computers. her design of a testing facility for apple won an american institute of architects (aia) honor award. she designed stanford university's storey house and press building, and also completed projects for at&t, pac bell, pan am, san jose state university and united airlines. slr architects, which was based in east palo alto, california, closed in 1998 when rupp retired. rupp was an advocate of women's rights and was a member of the organization of women architects (owa), the union internationale des femmes architectes (u.i.f.a.), and the american institute of architects (aia). in 1998, her work was added to the international archive of women in architecture at virginia tech university. she said that she started campaigning for women's issues "simply because i did not want there to be any [women's issues]. it seemed that the time for gender differences should be long over." she was the chairperson of the city of palo alto architectural review board, director of the aia santa clara chapter, and director of california women in environmental design. the university of california-berkeley, where rupp studied architecture, awards the berkeley-rupp architecture professorship and prize biannually to a practitioner or scholar who has contributed to promoting the advancement of women in the field. rupp traveled extensively throughout her career and during her retirement focused on painting watercolors of landscapes around the bay area of san francisco. she kept numerous travel journals where she recorded written observations, photographs, sketches, and watercolors. her paintings were include in juried exhibitions organized by the pacific art league of palo alto. of her life and career, rupp said, "i'd like to be remembered for dissenting when everyone else thought it easier to go with the grain even when the grain was wrong. i'd like to be remembered for being a competent architect who did competent work, a competent painter who did competent painting and someone who told good stories. i've enjoyed almost everything i [did], but nothing is enough and time (life) is too short." rupp was diagnosed with gastric cancer in november 2003 and died on may 27, 2004. she was married to steven rupp. alon cohen may refer to: advanced semiconductor engineering, inc. (), also known as ase group (), is a provider of independent semiconductor assembling and test manufacturing services, with its headquarters in kaohsiung, taiwan. the company was founded in 1984 by brothers jason chang and richard chang, who opened its first factory in kaohsiung, taiwan. jason chang currently serves as company chairman and is on the 2016 forbes' list of the world's billionaires. as of 1 april 2016, the company's market cap was us$8.77 billion. in may 2015, ase group entered into an agreement with tdk to establish a joint venture company in kaohsiung, taiwan, named ase embedded electronics inc. the company manufactures ic embedded substrates utilizing tdk's sesub technology. on 26 may 2016, ase and siliconware precision industries (spil) announced that they signed an agreement to form a new holding company, as part of the consolidation in the global semiconductor industry. both companies said that each will retain its legal entities, management and staff, besides the current independent operations and operating models. according to the market research firm gartner, ase is the largest outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (osat) provider, with 19 percent market share. the company offers services such as semiconductor assembly, packaging and testing. ase provides semiconductor assembly and testing services for over 90 percent of electronics companies in the world. the packaging services include fan-out wafer-level packaging (fo-wlp), wafer-level chip-scale packaging (wl-csp), flip chip, 2.5d and 3d packaging, system in package (sip) and copper wire bonding. fan-out wafer-level packaging (fo-wlp), a process that enables ultra-thin, high-density packages, has been around for several years, and the fan-out technology is becoming an industry trend due to increasing market demand for smaller and thinner mobile products. according to the research firm yole développement, the fan-out packaging market is predicted to reach $2.4 billion by 2020, increasing from $174 million in 2014. wafer-level chip-scale packaging (wl-csp) is the technology that enables the smallest available packages in the market, meeting the increasing demand for smaller and faster portable consumer devices. this ultra-thin package type has integrated into mobile devices such as smartphones. in october 2001, ase began volume production of wafer-level chip-scale packages. flip chip is a method of flipping over the chip to connect with either substrate or leadframe. according to the research firm yole développement, the flip chip technology market value is expected to reach $25 billion in 2020. this market trend is mainly driven by mobile and wireless devices like tablets, computing applications such as servers, and consumer applications like smart tvs. 2.5d packaging can enable hundreds of thousands of interconnects within a small package space. this packaging technology is used in applications such as high memory bandwidth, network switches, router chips and graphics cards for the gaming market. since 2007, ase has been working with amd to bring 2.5d packaging technology to market. the two companies collaborated on fiji, a 2.5d-based gpu processor designed for extreme gamers, which is small enough to fit a 6-inch pcb and connects 240,000 bumps. in june 2015, fiji was officially launched at the e3 gaming conference. system in package (sip) is the technology for bundling multiple ics to work together inside a single package. sip technology is being driven by market application trends in wearables, mobile devices and internet of things (iot). in 2004, ase was one of the first companies to begin mass production of sip technology. in april 2015, the company planned to double its sip production capacity in the next 3 years. the company's main operations are in kaohsiung, taiwan, with other plants located in china, south korea, japan, malaysia and singapore. it also has offices and service centers in china, south korea, japan, singapore, belgium and the united states. on 1 october 2013, a water incident occurred at the ase k7 facility. in february 2014, officials from the kaohsiung city government and the kaohsiung environmental protection bureau (epb) visited the k7 factory to evaluate the resumption of operations at the facility. in december 2014, after checking the company's improvement on wastewater treatment, the epb officials agreed to allow the k7 facility to resume operations. from 2010 to 2013, ase has invested us$13.2 million in treating industrial water. in addition, ase invested $25.3 million to build a water recycling plant, k14 in kaohsiung, taiwan. the water recycling plant began trials in january 2015. with the first phase of the project now complete, the plant handles up to 20,000 metric tons of wastewater per day. half of the water is recycled and returned to ase’s facilities for reuse; the other half is discharged into the city’s drains. the effluent from the recycling plant not only conforms to local regulations, but the average concentration values are far less than the regulatory limit. sufugolix (, ) (developmental code name tak-013) is a non-peptide, orally-active, selective antagonist of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (gnrhr) ( = 0.1 and 0.06 nm for affinity and "in vitro" inhibition, respectively). it was under development by takeda for the treatment of endometriosis and uterine leiomyoma and reached phase ii clinical trials for both of these indications, but was subsequently discontinued. it seems to have been supplanted by relugolix (tak-385), which is also under development by takeda for the treatment of these conditions and has a more favorable drug profile (including reduced cytochrome p450 inhibition and improved "in vivo" gnrhr antagonistic activity) in comparison. oral administration of sufugolix at a dose of 30 mg/kg to castrated male cynomolgus monkeys resulted in nearly complete suppression of luteinizing hormone levels. the duration of action was more than 24 hours, indicating a long elimination half-life of the drug. the suppressive effects of sufugolix on gonadotropin and sex hormone levels are rapidly reversible with discontinuation. unlike various other gnrhr antagonists, sufugolix has been elucidated to be a non-competitive or insurmountable/trapping antagonist of the gnrhr rather than a competitive antagonist. the 1990/91 fis nordic combined world cup was the eight world cup season, a combination of ski jumping and cross-country skiing organized by international ski federation. it started on 15 dec 1990 in trondheim, norway and ended on 23 march 1991 in st. moritz, switzerland. the triangular boxfish ("tetrosomus concatenatus") is one of four fish species in the genus "tetrosomus" in the boxfish family. it reaches a maximum length of . this species is found in the indo-west pacific oceans. it ranges from east africa to southern japan and new caledonia. syncopacma tadzhika is a moth of the family gelechiidae. it was described by oleksiy v. bidzilya in 2005. it is found in tajikistan. the 2016 collingwood football club season was the club's 120th season of senior competition in the australian football league (afl). the club also fielded its reserves team in the vfl. syncopacma telaviviella is a moth of the family gelechiidae. it was described by hans georg amsel in 1933 and is found in palestine. the 28th national film awards, presented by ministry of information, bangladesh to felicitate the best of bangladeshi cinema released in the year 2003. bangladesh national film awards is a film award ceremony in bangladesh established in 1975 by government of bangladesh. every year, a national panel appointed by the government selects the winning entry, and the award ceremony is held in dhaka. chief adviser dr. fakhruddin ahmed presented the awards at the bangladesh-china friendship conference centre on 23 october. a 12-member jury board headed by sadeq khan, chairman of board of directors, press institute of bangladesh suggested the name of 15 artistes for the national film award in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the country's film industry. no awards were given in best film, director, music director, dialogue, cinematography and editing categories. syncopacma dolini is a moth of the family gelechiidae. it was described by oleksiy v. bidzilya in 2005. it is found in kyrgyzstan. franklin a. "frank" leach (february 7, 1826 – may 22, 1893) was an american businessman and politician. born in pamelia, jefferson county, new york, leach moved with his parents to watertown, wisconsin territory in 1845. leach lived on a farm in the town of utica, winnebago county, wisconsin. he was involved with the grocery, dry goods, and hardware businesses in oshkosh, wisconsin. leach served on the utica town board, the oshkosh common council, and was a republican. in 1874 and 1875, leach served in the wisconsin state assembly. leach died at his home in oshkosh, wisconsin from kidney problems. wahyudi bin abdul wahid (born 29 october 1989) is a singaporean professional footballer who currently plays as a defender for hougang united in the s.league. he started off playing as a striker, but converted to a centre-back role in recent years partly due to severe competition for places in the forward roles during early parts of his footballing career. wahyudi started off playing for tanjong pagar united when he was just fifteen years old, subsequently playing for a multitude of clubs before joining lionsxii. wahyudi started playing football at the age of nine, but football was not his first love. he started off participating in his elementary school band, before joining the school football team after many of his friends did so. wahyudi did not even have a proper pair of soccer boots during his first training session, and used his school shoes to play then. it was his speed and shooting skills that ultimately earned the favour of his school coach and got him selected into the school team. wahyudi took his first step towards building his footballing career when he turned out for tanjong pagar united's centre of excellence trials at the age of fifteen. his impressive performance for the trial got him playing for the club, but ended prematurely after half a season as undesirable school results prompted his father to pull him out of football, so as to concentrate on his studies. following his withdrawal, wahyudi received help from his school and club coach, kames bidin, whom successfully persuaded his father to let him rejoin the team for a zonal tournament. during his time playing with the tanjong pagar united team, wahyudi was scouted by the national football academy (nfa)'s coach, mike wong, to go for a trial at the academy. he did break into the nfa's team, but only played a minor role in most competitions due to major competition in his position. following a 3-year stint with the u16, u17 and u18 sides, wahyudi dropped out of the national setup subsequently. wahyudi went on to join geylang international's squad that played in the prime league, singapore's second tier of football, until he enlisted for national service. during his national service term, he played for home united's prime league squad as that was his only eligible option then. post-national service, wahyudi returned to play for geylang united's prime league team for one season and won the league that year, his third consecutive after winning twice with the home united team. wahyudi also made his professional debut, coming on for fifteen minutes in a match against balestier khalsa as a substitute on 11 march 2011. the match ended in a 3-0 loss for geylang international. following the sole season with geylang international after winning three prime league titles in a row, wahyudi became disillusioned with the prospect of continuing his professional footballing career, and retired from the game, albeit temporarily. for a period of ten months, he took up a sailor job, but found he had no interest at all. it was until 2013 when wahyudi called then-coach of geylang international, kanan vedhamuthu, to inquire about the prospect of returning to the club, which he ultimately did. after a full season of s.league football with geylang international, wahyudi moved on to join s.league competitor hougang united. during his time at the club, his performance caught the eye of the coaches of lionsxii, which plays in the malaysia super league. wahyudi subsequently joined up with lionsxii for the 2015 malaysia super league season, and has proved himself a trustworthy defender, after standing in for teammate afiq yunos during his injury, and striking a defensive partnership with madhu mohana. following the dismissal of lionsxii from the malaysia super league at the end of the 2015 malaysia super league season, wahyudi subsequently rejoined hougang united to participate in the 2016 s.league season. on 26 february 2016, wahyudi made his first competitive appearance for his second spell with hougang united in a s.league fixture against tampines rover, which eventually ended in a 4-1 loss. wahyudi has represented singapore in national football at the u16, u17 and u18 levels, but has never been called up to represent the singapore's national senior football team. aleksei aleksandrovich kutsero (; born 20 march 1997) is a russian football player. he made his debut in the russian football national league for fc baltika kaliningrad on 11 october 2015 in a game against fc zenit-2 saint petersburg. antillatoxin (atx) is a potent lipopeptide neurotoxin produced by the marine cyanobacterium "lyngbya majuscula". atx activates voltage-gated sodium channels, which can cause cell depolarisation, nmda-receptor overactivity, excess calcium influx and neuronal necrosis. antillatoxin is found in the venom of the marine cyanobacterium "lyngbya majuscula". the filamentous cyanobacterium grows on seagrass, macroalgae, and corals up to 30m deep in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. the three dimensional nmr study of this toxin showed that it consists of a tripeptide glycine-"n"-methylvaline-alanine, a hydroxycarboxylic acid and a 9-"t"-butyl-6,8-dimethyl-6,8-diene attached to the c5 atom of the cyclic peptide backbone. there are three known analogous structures of atx which have different toxicity: antillatoxin b (8-demethyl-antillatoxin) and dh-atx (8-demethyl-8,9-dihydro-antillatoxin), and various stereoisomers of antillatoxin a. these various structures have been found to be less toxic than antillatoxin a. synthetic versions of antillatoxin have been produced with conformational variations of the lipophilic side chain. all of these structures drastically changed the toxins activity. structures where the c7-c8=c9 bond angle was closer to 180 showed lower levels of toxicity in cell cultures. structures that added a bulky side group to the c5 position also showed dramatic decreases in toxicity, including loss of activity. the figure below shows the first total synthesis of antillatoxin by yokokawa et al. in 1998. (2e,4e)-2,4,6,6-tetramethyl-2,4-heptadien-1-ol was transformed using a stereoselective aldol reaction, followed by the addition of a triethylsilyl protecting group. this allowed for cleavage of the chiral auxiliary of the ester. tpap oxidation followed by still’s olefination and protonation leads to the lactone. after transformation into the phenylselenyl derivative, alkaline cleavage, allyl esterification and coupling with the tripeptide yields the ester. oxidation leads to the linear product, which is transformed into antillatoxin by deprotection at the n and c terminals and macrolactimization with dppa. antillatoxin is a sodium channel gating modifier with special efficacy in cells expressing rna1.2, rna1.4 and rna1.5 α subunits. it is suggested that atx preferentially binds to the voltage-gated sodium channel in the inactivated state. the specific site of interaction of this neurotoxin is not yet known, however there is an allosteric interaction between atx and brevetoxin (pbtx) at site 5 of the α subunit, which indicates that the neurotoxin site for atx is topologically close and/or conformationally coupled to neurotoxin site 5. additionally, sites 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 were ruled out as possible binding sites. changing the tert-butyl-substituted diene groups reduced toxicity, which proves that the twisted shape of these groups plays a critical role in the degree of neurotoxicity of atx. antillatoxin activates voltage-gated sodium channels, thus increasing sodium influx into the cell. it is hypothesized that atx creates the increase in sodium influx by altering the voltage-gating properties of the channel. the toxin might change the voltage dependence of inactivation or augment the rate of recovery from inactivation. the effect is concentration dependent, with similar potency for the rnav1.2, rnav1.4 and rnav1.5 α-subunit types of sodium channels. antillatoxin-induced cytotoxicity is thought to occur through excessive activation of nmda receptors by increased sodium influx, leading to excess calcium influx and necrosis. the exact mechanism is still unclear, as antillatoxin’s effect on the membrane potential is not sufficient to relieve the nmda receptor block by magnesium. aside from toxic effects, atx seems to enhance neurite outgrowth in developing immature neurons, depending on sodium influx, nmda receptor activity, voltage-gated calcium channels and the calmodulin-kinase pathway. the toxin has been implicated in cases of respiratory irritation, inflammation of the eye and severe contact dermatitis in fishermen. antillatoxin is a very potent neurotoxin, although exact toxicity differs between species. the lethal concentration lc is about 0.1 μm for goldfish, making it the most potent toxin known for goldfish after brevetoxin. it can be cytotoxic to single cerebellar granule cells at concentrations as low as 20 nm in rats but more typically at 50 nm. morphological features of antillatoxin-induced neuronal toxicity are swelling of neuronal somata, thinning of neurites and blebbing of neurite membranes. cytotoxicity can be blocked by noncompetitive nmda antagonists, such as dextrorphan and mk-801. antillatoxin itself is an allosteric agonist for the action of batrachotoxin, and becomes even more effective when combined with brevetoxin. botit6 is a toxin that binds to insect voltage gated sodium channels. it decreases the amplitude of the action potential, leading to paralysis. botit6 is a neurotoxin produced by the common european scorpion, which is also known as the buthus occitanus tunetanus. it is therefore appropriately named buthus occitanus tunetanus insect toxin 6 (botit6). botit6 consists of 62 amino-acids and has an experimentally determined molecular mass of 7260.84 da. botit6 belongs to the buthidae neurotoxin family. the toxins can be divided into groups based on their target animal. botit6 is targeted at insects. toxins directed against insects, the main target being the sodium channels, can be divided into four groups, namely excitatory toxins, depressant toxins, α-type toxins and a group affecting both mammals and insects. each group causes paralysis, albeit via different mechanisms. the botit6 has characteristics of depressant, excitatory and α subgroups. from an evolutionary perspective botit6 is linked to both the depressant and the α group. botit6 is similar to depressant insect toxins, but also has similarities to α type and excitatory toxins. botit6 shares 58-66% of its amino-acid sequence with depressant insect toxins, and 24-34% with alfa type and excitatory toxins. in addition, it shares functional characteristics with all three groups. this has led to the hypothesis that botit6 could be an ancestral depressant toxin. botit6 is directed specifically against insect voltage-gated sodium channels. there are no known mammalian sodium channels affected by botit6. the exact mechanism of botit6 is still unclear. the neuropeptide binds to site 4 of voltage-gated sodium channels. the membrane of the axon is likely to be depolarized. next, the sodium current is slowed down by botit6, which decreases the amplitude of the action potential. eventually these events lead to paralysis. in artificial environments the effect of botit6 is less potent than it is in vivo, which might be explained by other toxic neuropeptides in the venom of the scorpion. these neuropeptide toxins may cooperate to make venom more effective. another possibility is the presence of other more potent toxins in the venom. these toxins often share many characteristics, which means they partially overlap in binding sites. botit6 is known to compete with other neurotoxins, i-aahit and i-botit2, over the same binding site on the sodium channels for these toxins. bot1t6 is a positively charged basic structure. basic toxins are usually more potent than acidic ones. in addition, within the buthidae neurotoxin family toxins, a higher total positive charge leads to a more toxic neuropeptide . these characteristics contribute in making bot1t6 a very effective insect toxin. for cockroaches for instance, the ld50 was 10 ng/100 mg. amongst other things this toxin leads to different forms of paralysis and uncoordinated motion. although paralysis can sometimes be reversed but death can also occur without any previous warning symptoms. these effects occur only in insects. the possible effects of botit6 on mammals, when ingested per os, are still unclear. however, it is unlikely mammals would be harmed using this toxin, as botit6 is insect sodium channel specific. this makes botit6 a possible candidate for agricultural use as an insecticide. alexis rafael pérez fontanilla (born 25 march 1994) is a colombian professional footballer who

on 20 june 2017, mexican club querétaro f.c. announced the $2.7 million dollar signing of pérez on a four-year contract. on august 5, 2017 pérez made his first liga mx appearance against tigres uanl ending in a 1-1 draw. the 26th national film awards, presented by ministry of information, bangladesh to felicitate the best of bangladeshi cinema released in the year 2001. bangladesh national film awards is a film award ceremony in bangladesh established in 1975 by government of bangladesh. every year, a national panel appointed by the government selects the winning entry, and the award ceremony is held in dhaka. the ceremony took place at osmany memorial hall, dhaka and awards were distributed by former prime minister khaleda zia. additionally, information minister tariqul islam attended the function as the special guest at that evening. a 12-member jury board headed by former secretary a h mofazzal karim recommended a total of 21 artists to be awarded for 2001. no award was given in best actor in a supporting role category. the killing of eitam and na'ama henkin occurred on october 1, 2015 in the west bank. a married israeli couple from neria, eitam simon henkin, a doctoral student at tel aviv university who also held american citizenship, and na'ama henkin, a graphic designer, were shot and killed. the henkins were driving past the town of beit furik, when the attack occurred. the four henkin's children were in the van at the time of their parents' killing. according to a statement released by israel's ministry of foreign affairs, a group affiliated with the fatah al-aqsa martyrs' brigades claimed responsibility for the attack. however, the investigation indicates that this attack was carried out by a hamas cell. the assailants were indicted for murder, and for planning to kidnap the occupants of the car, a plan that was thwarted when eitam henkin tried to fight the attackers off. the killing is cited as the first incident in the 2015–2016 wave of violence in israeli-palestinian conflict. following the killings, israel defence forces sent hundreds of soldiers in pursuit of the perpetrators of the attack, they were joined by members of the shin bet. subsequently, israeli security forces reportedly detained five members of a hamas militant cell linked to the attack. hamas praised the attack. the henkins were buried in jerusalem. the funeral was attended by thousands of israelis, including president reuven rivlin and chief rabbi david lau. president rivlin's statement condemning the murder read "tonight, bloodthirsty murderers claimed the lives of a mother and a father, leaving their young children orphaned. the heart breaks at the magnitude of such cruelty and hatred. we will continue in our brave and unwavering fight against this cruel and heinous terrorism - of this our enemies can be sure. this is our duty, and the only way we can ensure the right of the orphans who lost their parents tonight, along with the right of all our children and grandchildren, to live with security and in peace, everywhere in the land of israel. we pray for the speedy recovery of the injured children - our hearts and thoughts are with them." prime minister benjamin netanyahu's statement read "this is a difficult day for the state of israel. we are witness to an especially heinous and shocking murder in which parents were murdered, leaving four young orphans. my heart is with the children, all of our hearts are with the children and the family. the killers knew that they were murdering a mother and father, the children were there. it has been proven again that the wild palestinian incitement leads to acts of terrorism and murder such as we have seen this evening. i am about to speak with the defense minister, the idf chief-of-staff and the director of the isa about the steps we will take not only to apprehend the murderers but also to increase security for all israeli citizens." "the new york times" quoted the israeli prime minister stating "palestinian terrorists murdered yesterday a young mother and father, leaving four little orphans. but i have to say, i have yet to hear any condemnation from president abbas and the palestinian authority. worse, i heard senior officials from his fatah movement praise this action. they say this is the way to go. no, it is not the way to go. the way to go for any conceivable arrangement is to fight terrorism and to make sure that terrorism reaps no rewards." agriculture minister uri ariel stated "this is a day of celebration of the holiday but also a difficult day for all of the people of israel. this is a disgrace to the state of israel. terror continues in jerusalem, on the temple mount, and throughout the country." human rights watch condemned the murder, stating "the killing of a husband and wife in their car while their four children watched is a despicable act that flies in the face of law and decency. no political motive can justify targeting civilians." the 27th national film awards, presented by ministry of information, bangladesh to felicitate the best of bangladeshi cinema released in the year 2002. bangladesh national film awards is a film award ceremony in bangladesh established in 1975 by government of bangladesh. every year, a national panel appointed by the government selects the winning entry, and the award ceremony is held in dhaka. an eleven-member jury board chaired by the additional secretary of the ministry of information selected the winners in different categories. a 12-member jury board headed by sadeq khan, chairman of board of directors, press institute of bangladesh suggested the name of 17 artistes for the national film award in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the country's film industry. a total of 17 awards were given in this year. the 2016 nba finals was the championship series of the national basketball association (nba) 2015–16 season and conclusion of the 2016 playoffs. the eastern conference champion cleveland cavaliers defeated the defending nba champion and western conference champion golden state warriors 4–3 in a rematch of the 2015 nba finals. it was the 14th rematch of the previous nba finals in history, and the first finals since 2008 in which the number one seed in each conference met. it was the second straight rematch in back-to-back years, as the miami heat and san antonio spurs played each other in 2013 and 2014. golden state, which earned home-court advantage with setting the nba regular season wins record (73–9), jumped to a 2–0 lead in the series while recording the largest combined margin of victory (48) through two games in nba finals history. cleveland returned home and responded with a 120–90 win in game 3, but the warriors won game 4 to take a 3–1 series lead. the cavaliers won the next three games to become the first team in finals history to successfully overcome a 3–1 deficit. it also marked the first time since 1978 that game 7 was won by the road team. for the first time since , a new scheduling format was instituted for the finals. in previous years, the finals were played in a thursday–sunday–tuesday scheme. however, the league changed its scheduling to ensure an extra day off for both teams, which have to travel from one city to another during the series. this, along with the designated travel day, took place after games 2, 4, 5, and 6. coincidentally, the national hockey league adopted this similar practice during that year's stanley cup finals; however the nba chose to schedule an extra day off between games 1 and 2 so as to avoid competing with game 3 of the stanley cup finals (which normally takes place on the first saturday of june). the win by the cavaliers was the first major professional sports championship won by a team based in cleveland since 1964, and the first-ever championship won by the cavaliers franchise. nba finals mvp winner lebron james propelled the cavaliers to the historic comeback. james had a historically great finals performance, becoming the first player in nba history to lead all players in a playoff series in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. this was cleveland's second consecutive trip to the nba finals, and third overall, seeking to win their first ever nba championship. this would also be the sixth consecutive nba finals appearance for lebron james, the most for any player not part of the 1960s boston celtics, and the fifth for james jones (who technically qualified for the 2011 nba finals along with james, but did not play). despite holding the best record in the eastern conference at 30–11 midway through the season on january 22, 2016, the cavaliers fired head coach david blatt. associate head coach tyronn lue was then promoted to replace blatt. general manager david griffin cited "a lack of fit with our personnel and our vision" as the reason for blatt's firing. cleveland finished the regular season with a 57–25 record, capturing the central division title and the top playoff seed in the eastern conference. they then advanced to the finals after sweeping both the detroit pistons in the first round and the atlanta hawks in the second round, and defeating the toronto raptors in the eastern conference finals in six games. the cavaliers were the first team in history to go to two consecutive nba finals with rookie head coaches. this was the defending nba champions golden state warriors' second consecutive trip to the nba finals and eighth overall. the warriors broke the record set by the 1995–96 chicago bulls by finishing the regular season with a 73–9 record. in addition, the warriors broke numerous other nba records, including most road wins (34), best start to a season (24–0) and longest regular-season home win streak (54 dating back to the 2014–15 season). they also became the first team to make over 1,000 three-pointers in the regular-season with 1,077, eclipsing the previous record of 933 set by the 2014–15 houston rockets. the warriors were led by stephen curry, who was named the nba most valuable player (mvp) for the second straight season. the splash brothers twosome of curry and klay thompson were the highest scoring duo in the league, combining to average 52.2 points per game. head coach steve kerr missed the first 43 regular season games because of a back injury. assistant coach luke walton served as interim head coach during kerr's absence and he led the warriors to a 39–4 start. in the playoffs, the warriors defeated the houston rockets in the first round and the portland trail blazers in the conference semifinals in five games each. in game 7 of the western conference finals, the warriors defeated the oklahoma city thunder, 96–88, becoming only the 10th team in nba history to overcome a 3–1 series deficit, and advancing to a second straight nba finals for the first time since 1947 and 1948. the warriors won the regular season series 2–0. the warriors defeated the cavaliers 104–89 in game 1 to take a 1–0 series lead. the cavaliers led 68–67 before the warriors broke the game open with a 29–9 run spanning the third and fourth quarters to take a 96–76 lead. cleveland got the deficit within eleven points at 98–87 after an 11–2 run, but stephen curry and klay thompson nailed back-to-back three-pointers to essentially seal the victory for golden state. while curry and thompson had a rough night combining for 20 points, the warriors got a lift from its bench, outscoring the cavaliers' bench 45–10. shaun livingston scored his playoff-career high 20 points to lead golden state, while kyrie irving led all scorers with 26 points. lebron james fell one assist shy of a triple-double (23 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists). the warriors defeated the cavaliers 110–77 in game 2 to take a 2–0 series lead. cleveland took a 28–22 lead about two minutes into the second quarter, but golden state answered with a 20–2 run while outscoring the cavs 30–16 the rest of the period. during the run, the cavaliers' kevin love suffered a head injury while attempting to grab a defensive rebound. love stayed throughout the remainder of the period but did not play the second half. the warriors continued to dominate cleveland from there, outscoring the cavaliers 58–33 in the final two quarters. draymond green led all scorers with 28 points, including 5 of 8 from three-point range. curry and klay thompson added 18 and 17 points, respectively, while drilling four threes each. with their victory, the warriors posted the highest winning margin in the first two finals games with a 48-point differential. james led the cavs with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists, but he committed 7 turnovers. james added 4 steals while surpassing john stockton for fourth on the all-time playoff steals list. the cavaliers avenged their lopsided defeat to golden state by routing the warriors 120–90 in game 3 to cut the series deficit to 2–1. the cavaliers scored the game's first nine points en route to outscoring the warriors 33–16 after one quarter. golden state rallied to trim cleveland's lead as low as seven points on a couple of occasions before the cavs settled for a 51–43 halftime lead. in the second half, cleveland continued to extend their lead and outscored golden state 69–47. love did not play due to a concussion. james led all scorers with 32 points. irving added 30 points for the cavs. curry led the warriors with 19 points, while drilling four threes. harrison barnes also contributed 18 points in 33 minutes of play. the warriors defeated the cavaliers 108–97 in game 4 to take a 3–1 series lead. after averaging just 16 points in the first three games of the series, curry scored 38 and was 7 of 13 on three-pointers. the warriors made 17 three-pointers, then an nba record for a single finals game. they made only 16 two-point field goals, the first time in finals history a team made more shots from three-point range. klay thompson added 25 points and four three-pointers for golden state. it was the warriors' 88th win of the season, which broke the 1995–96 chicago bulls record of 87 for most wins in an nba season (regular-season and postseason combined). green and james had to be separated in the closing minutes of the game, when green fell to the ground and james stepped over him. feeling disrespected, green swung his arm and appeared to make contact with james' groin. the cavaliers defeated the warriors 112–97 in game 5 to narrow the warriors' series lead to 3–2. james and irving each scored 41 points to become the first teammates in finals history to score 40 or more in the same game. james also added 16 rebounds. after game 4, green was assessed a flagrant foul 1 for his contact with james that was ruled "unnecessary" and "retaliatory", and james was given a technical foul for taunting. having accumulated his fourth flagrant foul point in the playoffs, green was suspended for game 5, becoming the first player to be suspended from playing in a finals game since jerry stackhouse in 2006. green watched the game from a luxury box in the nearby oakland alameda coliseum, where the oakland athletics were also playing a game at the same time, hosting the texas rangers. warriors center andrew bogut suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee in the second half when he jumped to block a layup attempt by cavs guard j. r. smith and came down awkwardly on smith. the cavaliers defeated the warriors 115–101 in game 6 to even the series 3–3. the cavaliers scored the game's first eight points en route to outscoring the warriors 31–11 after one quarter. golden state rallied to trim cleveland's lead as low as eight points on a couple of occasions before the cavs settled for a 59–43 halftime lead. in the second half, cleveland continued to extend their lead and tied the series. lebron james led all scorers with 41 points with 11 assists. kyrie irving added 23 points for the cavs, while tristan thompson had 16 rebounds for the cavaliers. stephen curry led the warriors with 30 points, while drilling six threes. klay thompson added 25 points for the warriors. back from suspension, green was held to eight points on 3–7 shooting. james scored 18 straight points for cleveland from the end of the third quarter to the 7:00 mark of the fourth. late in the game with the cavaliers up by 13, he blocked a curry shot from behind, and afterward had some words for him. with 4:22 left, curry received his sixth foul and fouled out of the game. he then threw his mouthpiece into the stands in frustration, resulting in a technical foul and his ejection from the game. curry was the first mvp to foul out of an nba finals game since shaquille o'neal in 2000. the cavaliers became the third team to fall behind 3–1 and force game 7 (and the first in 50 years). james was the first player to have consecutive 40-point games in the finals since, coincidentally, shaquille o'neal in the 2000 finals. following the game, curry and warriors head coach steve kerr were fined $25,000 each for their actions and public officiating criticism. this season's finals marked the first time in nba history in which both teams entered game 7 with the same total points scored through six games (610 points each). the cavaliers defeated the warriors 93–89 in game 7 to win the series 4–3. game 7 was close, with 20 lead changes and 11 ties. this was the only game in the series to have a final margin of fewer than 10 points. at halftime, the warriors were ahead 49–42. in the second half, the cavaliers outscored the warriors 51–40 as the warriors failed to score a basket during the last 4:39 of the game. in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter, lebron james delivered what became known as "the block" on a layup attempt by andre iguodala with the score tied at 89 and 1:50 remaining in the game. kyrie irving made a go-ahead 3-point field goal over stephen curry to give cleveland a 92–89 lead with 0:53 remaining in the game. before kyrie irving's 3-point field goal, both teams were tied at 699 points scored apiece in this series. immediately after irving's 3-pointer, golden state brought the ball up-court, opting not to call a timeout, and although golden state got a preferred switch and matchup of curry on kevin love, love made arguably "the biggest defensive stop of the entire nba season", and forced curry into a contested 3-pointer, which he missed. after lebron james hurt his right wrist on a dunk attempt in which he was fouled, he nearly clinched the title for the cavaliers by making one of two free throws with 10.6 seconds left in the game. the cavaliers fouled draymond green with 6.5 seconds remaining. stephen curry received the ensuing inbounds pass, pump faked and shot a three-pointer over cavaliers guard iman shumpert. the attempt missed, and was rebounded by marreese speights of the warriors who attempted a three-pointer as time expired and missed. love immediately hugged the finals mvp lebron james. draymond green led all scorers with 32 points, including 6 of 8 from three-point range to go along with 15 rebounds and 9 assists. stephen curry and klay thompson added 17 and 14 points, respectively. lebron james led all cavaliers with 27 points and became only the 3rd player ever in nba history to record a triple double in an nba finals game 7 by adding 11 assists and 11 rebounds. kyrie irving added 26 points for cleveland. the cavaliers became the first team in nba history to come back from a 3–1 series deficit to win the nba finals. they became the first nba champion to clinch all their playoff series on the road since the 1999 san antonio spurs, as well as the first road team to win a finals game 7 since the 1978 washington bullets. the cavaliers won their first championship in franchise history, ending a 52-year pro sports championship drought for the city of cleveland. lebron james was named the unanimous finals mvp, becoming only the fifth player in nba history to earn the award three times or more. he also was the overall leader in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks during the series, a feat that had never been accomplished in an nba playoff series. tyronn lue became the 14th coach to win an nba championship as a head coach and player. after 13 years, james had finally brought a championship to the city of cleveland. on july 13, game 7 of the 2016 nba finals received the 2016 espy award for best game. | style="text-align:left;"| ||

haematology, blood transfusion and haemostasis, who established the first clinical haematology department, and the first haemophilia centre in iran at the tehran university medical faculty. he was the founder of the iranian national blood transfusion service (inbts), a centralised, state-funded organisation, established in 1974, for the recruitment of healthy, voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors. dr. fereydoun ala's father, hossein ala (1883–1964), was a career diplomat, cabinet minister, minister plenipotentiary in both britain and france (ambassadorial status was not established until the 1940s), and twice iranian envoy to the us (minister in 1921, and ambassador in 1945). he played a crucial role in defending iran's rights as his country's representative at the un security council meetings, during the 'azarbaijan crisis' of 1946. having foiled soviet-fostered separatist aspirations, he ensured through un auspices iran's independence and territorial integrity. in aggregate, he spent twelve years as minister of the imperial court to mohammad reza shah pahlavi, and was twice appointed prime minister. hossein ala's father, prince mohammad-ali ala' os-saltaneh (1838–1917), prime minister, foreign minister and diplomat, was married to homa khanom azemat od-dowleh, the daughter of the renowned intellectual, majd ol-molk sinaki, four of whose grandsons were to become prime ministers: qavam os-saltaneh, vosuq od-dowleh, hossein ala and ali amini. fereydoun ala's mother fatemeh, was the only daughter of abolqasem khan gharagozlou naser ol-molk (1856–1927), the first iranian oxonian (balliol college, oxford), sometime prime minister and later regent (1910–1914) while the future ahmad shah qajar was still a minor. he had been raised by his grandfather, mahmoud khan naser ol-molk qaragozlou farmanfarma, who married the daughter of crown prince abbas mirza, the combative son of fath-ali shah qajar. during his retirement in paris, abolqasem khan translated two of shakespeare's plays (othello and the merchant of venice) into lapidary persian – the first time works of the famous bard of avon had been rendered in that language. dr. ala's elementary education was at the dabestane nezami primary school (persian), the lazariste st. louis school (french) and the community school (english), all in tehran. he went on to begin his secondary education at harrow school near london towards the end of world war ii, which was completed at milton academy, near boston. his college under-graduate studies were at harvard university, cambridge, massachusetts, where he obtained his ba degree in history. he was then admitted to the university of edinburgh medical school in scotland, and qualified with an mb chb in 1960. internship was at the edinburgh royal infirmary, followed by a year as senior house officer; and he received a wellcome trust research grant under professor ronald girdwood, when he investigated megaloblastic anaemias associated with gastrointestinal malabsorption. he passed the examination for membership of the royal college of physicians (mrcp) in both internal medicine and haematology in 1964, and spent a further year taking the diploma course in 'practical haematology' with professor sir john dacie at the royal postgraduate medical school in london. ala was elected fellow of the royal college of physicians (frcp) in 1970, and fellow of the royal college of pathologists (frcpath) in 1991. fereydoun ala definitively returned to iran in 1965, soon after his father, hossein ala, died. he was appointed assistant professor at the tehran university school of medicine, pahlavi (now khomeini) hospital in 1965, and was instrumental in establishing the first clinical haematology department in iran, equipped with its own modern laboratories, thanks to a personal research grant from the wellcome trust. he also established a haemostasis laboratory for the hitherto undiagnosed inherited blood coagulation disorders, such as the haemophilias and von willebrands disease. the only available treatment for these potentially crippling bleeding diseases at the time, was frozen fresh plasma and the newly discovered cryoprecipitated factor viii concentrate (judith pool in 1967), as industrial concentrates were not yet being marketed. replacement therapy with this primitive, home-made plasma fraction, allowed major orthopaedic, abdominal and thoracic surgery to be carried out with success. another first was the introduction of hepatitis b surface antigen testing, first described by baruch blumberg in 1965. hepatitis b was a common cause of chronic liver disease in iran, most particularly among haemophiliacs. in 1971, ala organised the viith congress of the world federation of haemophilia (wfh) in tehran, the first such meeting held outside europe or america and canada. the proceedings of the meeting, edited by f. ala and kwe denson were published by elseviers, excerpta medica (amsterdam) in 1973. soon after, the haemophilia centre at the pahlavi (now emam khomeini) hospital was designated an international haemophilia treatment centre (ihtc) by the wfh, one of only a handful of such centres at the time. he was also appointed medical secretary wfh, in 1970, as well as a member of the wfh medical and scientific advisory committee in 1978. the dangerously primitive, fragmented state of blood transfusion in iran, with its exclusive reliance upon blood bought from often addicted and diseased professional donors, drawn from the most deprived sectors of society, spurred dr. ala in 1972, to propose the creation of a centralised, state-funded national blood service for the recruitment of healthy, voluntary, non-remunerated donors, and the subsequent collection, testing, processing and distribution of blood and blood products to hospitals free-of-charge, in accordance with modern technical and ethical standards. the object was to take these vital services out of the commercialism of the market-place, and bring them into the realm of altruism and science. in 1974, a parliamentary decree established the iranian national blood transfusion service (inbts) as an independent legal entity; the plan organisation provided funding, and a high council was appointed, chaired by the him farah, shahbanu of iran. a crucial first step, after procuring a suitable building, purchasing all the myriad items of equipment required, and selecting and training qualified medical, technical and administrative staff, was conducting widespread publicity and blood donor recruitment campaigns, to alter public attitudes towards voluntary donation, and draw public attention to the dangers of current transfusion practice – a veritably transformative social revolution. within a few years, the inbts became self-sufficient in tehran, as voluntary donors from every walk of life, provided for the needs of hospitals in the capital. in addition, complementary services, such as blood components, clinical immunology, histocompatibility testing to support the first organ transplant programmes, special and antenatal serology, frozen red cells, and plasma fractionation were added to the spectrum of activities. obtaining official support for merging the entirely separate, poorly developed military blood services with the inbts was a highly significant policy initiative (virtually unique in the middle east, but for israel), which provided access to armed forces personnel throughout the country. ultimately, the red lion and sun society (latterly renamed the red crescent society) blood centres were also merged with the inbts. following the success of the inbts in tehran, regional centres in other major cities, such as shiraz, mashhad, ahvaz, sari and hamadan were also established, providing much the same range of services available in the capital, although tehran fulfilled the role of a national reference and training centre and arbiter of quality. the inbts (now termed ibto – iranian blood transfusion organisation) is a world health organization collaborating centre, and remains the best developed such service in the eastern mediterranean region, in terms of size, diversity, and academic achievement, and is exceptional in its exclusive reliance upon voluntary, unremunerated blood donation. fereydoun ala was appointed as councillor to the international society of blood transfusion (isbt) in 1969. he also became a member of the world health organization (who) eastern mediterranean regional advisory committee on medical research in 1979, as well as a member of the who expert advisory panel on human blood products and related substances in the same year. in iran, he became the director of the newly established iranian medical research committee (1975). in 1981, fereydoun ala moved from iran to the uk, and was appointed medical director of the national blood service, west midlands region, senior lecturer at the birmingham university medical faculty, and consultant haematologist at the queen elizabeth hospital. during his tenure, the centre was designated as a 'who collaborating centre for training and development in blood transfusion'. his further activities during this period included: membership of the uk national blood transfusion service management committee (1989); chair of the ukbts/nibsc standing advisory committee on transfusion-transmitted infection (1993); his appointment as councillor to the international society of blood transfusion (isbt) was renewed in 1998; finally, he was co-editor of 'transfusion today' the isbt journal. during this period, he acted as who short-term consultant in blood transfusion to byelorussia, cyprus, djibouti, egypt, india, jordan, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, lebanon, pakistan, syria, tajikistan, taiwan, tunis, united arab emirates and uzbekistan. in 1999, dr. ala returned to iran to organise the biennial who eastern mediterranean blood transfusion directors' meeting in tehran, and thereafter, he has spent a significant part of the year working at the new-found iranian comprehensive haemophilia care centre (ichcc) in tehran as honorary president. the ichcc is a non-governmental, non-profit centre established by the iranian hemophilia society in 2001, dedicated to the diagnosis and management of inherited bleeding and thrombotic disease, and affiliated to the world federation of hemophilia. both the phenotypic and genotypic laboratories participate with success, in the specific external quality control exercises (neqas) organised at sheffield university in the uk, and the centre effectively acts as a national reference centre for haemostatic disorders. the ichcc offers specialised clinics in dental care, physiotherapy, orthopaedic surgery, gynaecology, psychiatry and hepatology. the uk-registered arjan ala charitable trust (aact) in london, was established by dr. ala in 2001 to support the ichcc with educational grants, as well as to purchase and dispatch laboratory reagents and equipment. fereydoun ala married ann (née sealy) and they had three sons, one, arjan died in 1998, following a paragliding accident in arizona. ann also died soon after. fereydoun later married his second wife yekta fazeli, only daughter of lieutenant general mohammad fazeli. fereydoun ala has published some 127 articles and abstracts, as well as a number of chapters and books germane to the fields of blood transfusion and haemostasis.

area of cross river state, nigeria. its geographical coordinates are 6° 51' 0" north, 8° 46' 0" east. gabu is a ward in yala local government area of cross river state. it is bounded to the north by benue state, south by ijegu – yala, to the east by aliforkpa, and to the west by the igede-speaking part of benue state. the only language spoken by the gabu people is igede, though english and pidgin english are occasionally spoken for official purposes. gabu possesses good climatic, soil and vegetation conditions that provide tremendous agricultural and agro-allied industrial potentials. large part of gabu region consists of grassland or savanna and rain forest at places such as ega, ajumole, adikpe etc. this variety of soils and vegetation makes possible the cultivation of an equally wide variety of agricultural produce ranging from food to cash crops. the food crops grown include yams, cassava, cocoyam, maize, beans, rice, millet, and several market garden crops. while some of the cash crops that thrive well in the region include palm-oil, bananas, plantains, etc. the community is drained seasonally by a major river called okpogwu river and its tributaries. this river is a great fishing ground for the community and the banks of the river provides good ground for agricultural activities because of the alluvial deposits from the river currents. other rivers that flows through gabu are: ogrokpo, orba etc. the community is blessed with abundant salt deposit which can sustain any small to medium scale salt industry. the salt deposit found in gabu is of great history to the people of gabu and is mined locally. the community also offers a wide range of investment opportunities in agro-based industries as well as solid mineral industries. other mineral resources found in gabu in economic deposits are; barite, quartzite, clay deposit, gravel, sharp sand etc. barite is currently being mined by different companies in gabu. efforts are also ongoing by the community to prospect for hydrocarbon, limestone, coal and other mineral resources. these resources are suspected to be in great abundance in gabu owing to depositional nature of gabu terrain. gabu is also blessed with abundant human resources. this is evident in the large number of graduates of various disciplines from gabu. the community has a number of social amenities such as health center, customary court, primary and secondary schools, roads and telecommunications services for effective communication. these social amenities provide services for the populace. it is very important to note also that there are traditional institutions (chiefs) which govern and administer justice to the people of gabu at the local level. the community can be accessed through okuku – ijegu road, aliforkpa – gabu road and through konshisha road from benue state. the 69th british academy film awards, more commonly known as the baftas, were held on 14 february 2016 at the royal opera house in

"centruroides suffusus suffusus" is a mexican scorpion from the genus "centruroides" belonging to the family "buthidae". "c. suffusus suffusus" has at least seven different β-toxins, of which cssii is considered the major toxin in the venom affecting mammals. the single gene for cssii has been identified, and cloned using "e. coli", resulting in recombinant cssii. cssii is a single chain miniprotein, consisting of 66 amino acids: it has four disulfide bridges and its scaffold is formed by a single α-helix, and a three-stranded β-sheet structure. typical for css β-toxins, no methionine and isoleucine amino acids occur in the miniprotein. cssii’s characteristics include the replacement of proline in position 59 with tyrosine, differentiating it from all other α- and β-toxins. moreover, glutamine (position 32) and histidine (position 57) replace lysine and glycine residues respectively, differentiating cssii from all other β-toxins. the protein is amidated at the c-terminal end. cssii targets voltage-gated sodium channels, and has the highest affinity for nav1.6 channels. cssii is thought to bind to a receptor site only accessible when the sodium channel is in its open state. within this site css toxin is hypothesized to bind to the residues of the iis3-s4 loop, as well as the extracellular iis4 end. as cssii is a β-toxin, it binds to site 4 on the sodium channel, thus primarily affecting the voltage sensor domain of the channel. it is thought that cssii binding to the voltage sensor domain is dependent on a conformational change of the sodium channel. the binding to site 4 induces a negative shift in voltage dependence, resulting in the aberrant opening of sodium channels. in addition, cssii reduces the peak transient current of the nav1.6 channels, and causes the occurrence of resurgent currents in cells that otherwise would not exhibit this behavior. these effects might arise from different channel binding sites for cssii, as the effects on the resurgent current occur earlier than the left shift of activation, and the transient peak current reduction. however, these additional binding sites have not yet been defined. the ld50 in mice is 25 μg/kg for subcutaneous injections, and .60 μg/kg for intracerebroventricular injections. bark scorpion venom is generally considered neurotoxic, and stings can be fatal. buthidae stings are highly prevalent, especially in mexico, with more than 200,000 stings annually. "c. suffusus suffusus" can be treated by antivenom, such as alacramyn. a non-toxic recombinant variant of cssii, that is able to displace native cssii, facilitates the production of specific antibodies that could protect against the "c. suffusus suffusus" sting. the evans court apartment building is a historic apartment building at 22-24 winthrop street in the south end of springfield, massachusetts. built in 1910, it is a good example of a classical revival apartment house, and one of the first to be built in the city after it introduced a new fire code. rehabilitated in 2014, the building was listed on the national register of historic places in 2015. the evans court apartment building is located in springfield's south end, on the west side of winthrop street north of main street. it is a four-story brick structure, shaped like an l, with a section projecting to the left at its rear. the front facade has three-story projecting polygonal bays flanking the center entrance, which are topped by decorative cartouches. the main entrance is framed by concrete quoining at the sides, with scrolled brackets supporting an arched pediment. a similarly-decorated entrance provides access to the residential units of the rear portion of the building. the building has sixteen units, whose interiors have been updated in historically sensitive ways in 2014. the building and was built in 1910, a period when nearby main street was heavily developed with such apartment blocks. the developer who headed the development was frank dunlap, a major real estate developer in the city, and it was built and designed by the firm of j. e. angers and brother, a construction firm run by french-canadian immigrants. dunlap and the angers collaborated on a number of projects in the city. early residents of the building were predominantly american-born, but by 1930 the demographics had changed to predominantly immigrant families. the building was damaged in ]]2011 springfield tornado]], suffering interior water penetration and damage to its parapet; these were fixed during the 2014 rehabilitation. carlos geovanni chávez ospina (born 7 august 1984) is a colombian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. william john lloyd (2december 177829july 1815) was a british army officer wounded at the battle of waterloo on june18 1815. he was the son of major john lloyd, of the 46th regiment of foot, who had been "aide-de-camp" to general sir henry clinton during the american war of independence, and corbetta, daughter of the venerable george holcombe, archdeacon of carmarthen. lloyd joined the royal artillery as a second-lieutenant on 6march 1795. he was promoted to first-lieutenant on 18june 1796; to captain-lieutenant on 12september 1803; to second-captain on 19july 1804; to captain on 22october 1806 and to brevet major on 4june 1814. after commanding his eponymous brigade at the battle of waterloo, lloyd died in brussels on 29july 1815 as a result wounds received in the battle. his name is inscribed on a plaque to the dead of the artillery inside st. joseph's church in waterloo. lloyd is one of the soldiers commemorated on the british waterloo campaign monument in brussels cemetery, although he was 37 at the time of his death, not 35 as inscribed. rhopalinae is a subfamily of scentless plant bugs in the family rhopalidae. there are at least 20 genera and more than 170 described species in rhopalinae. these 20 genera belong to the subfamily rhopalinae: helsingfors segelklubb (hsk), "helsinki sailing club", is a yacht club in lauttasaari, helsinki (finland). the yacht club also has a 12 acre island, ormholmen, located at the tip of the porkkala peninsula, 18 nautical miles southwest of the home harbor, with sauna baths, grill shelters and other facilities, and a 6-acre part of the hasselholm island, in the ekenäs archipelago, about 50 nautical miles to the west, with a house and a sauna to provide additional comforts for members. the club was established in 1899 under the name helsingfors arbetare segelklubb ("helsinki workers sailing club"). most members were swedish-speaking finns. the first harbor was located in the western part of helsinki, but it had to be moved as the city waterfront was filled in to allow housing construction. in 1919, after the independence of finland, the club was registered with the name helsingfors segelklubb. the 22nd annual screen actors guild awards, honoring the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2015, were presented on january 30, 2016 at the shrine auditorium in los angeles, california. the ceremony was broadcast on both tnt and tbs 8:00 p.m. est / 5:00 p.m. pst and the nominees were announced on december 9, 2015. carol burnett was announced as the 2015 sag life achievement award honoree on july 20, 2015. it was announced on the live red carpet show that "" had received the screen actors guild award for outstanding performance by a stunt ensemble in a motion picture and that "game of thrones" had received the outstanding performance by a stunt ensemble in a television series. winners are listed first and highlighted in boldface. susan sarandon introduced the "in memoriam" segment, honoring the life and career of the actors who died in 2015: love, lust or run is an american reality television series which premiered on the tlc cable network, on january 30, 2014, starring fashion consultant stacy london. during every episode of the series, stacy london meets a different woman and helps her to work on usually very questionable fashion choices. the show follows the same format as british television series "snog marry avoid?". ahead of the conclusion of the first season, tlc renewed the show for 26 additional episodes. "i am so thrilled to have stacy back on tlc!" said nancy daniels, the general manager of the network. "she has an amazing ability to connect with fashion challenged women and help them find their own sense of style. with this new show, we definitely put stacy's skills to the test," daniels also added. stacy london had previously hosted another fashion-themed show, "what not to wear", which aired on the same network. the lotus tournament was a professional golf tournament played in england. it was held annually from 1946 to 1952. total prize money was £1500. the epirus football clubs association (epfca) ("ένωση ποδοσφαιρικών σωματείων ηπείρου", "επσηπ" = "enosi podosfairikon somateion ipirou",

chapel is a single-storey building attributed to sir christopher wren and built in 1683. the chapel is very small, measuring just 45 square metres and is constructed of red brickwork with portland stone details to window architraves, rusticated quoins and a pyramidal roof with an open wood cupola.the chapel is listed grade i on the national heritage list for england. it is located adjacent to the worshipful company of merchant taylors almshouses on lee high road in lewisham, london and is one of only two grade i-listed buildings in the borough of lewisham (the other is st paul's, deptford). christopher boone, a member of the merchant taylors’ company, commissioned sir christopher wren to design the chapel. the boone family lived in herefordshire and income from their estate was used to build almhouses for the elderly of lee and also to educate twelve poor children. though wren may have been commissioned to build both the chapel and almshouses, it appears that robert hooke, a friend and colleague and another member of the merchant taylors’ company, actually undertook construction. although the almhouses that were built to the left of the chapel along lee high road were demolished in 1877, the chapel itself was preserved as a reading room. there are remaining grade ii-listed almhouses dating from 1825 just up from the chapel. following the end of the second world war, the chapel fell into disuse. both christopher boone (1616-1686) and his wife, mary (c1638-1722) are interred within the chapel. by the late 1990s, the grade i-listed chapel was suffering from decades of neglect and was placed on english heritage's london buildings at risk register. to combat this, a new charity was set up - the blackheath historic buildings trust - in 1999. the charity received heritage lottery funding and support from the london borough of lewisham, livery companies and the support of local residents through the lee manor and blackheath societies. the funding allowed for the chapel to be completely renovated. following the raising of over £500,000, boone’s chapel was renovated in 2008. a small physic garden was also added during the renovation. the chapel is now used by a firm of architects but is open to the public 30 days a year. arlington station can refer to: baker run (also known as windfall run) is a tributary of bowman creek in wyoming

waterbody. the surficial geology in its vicinity consists of alluvium, alluvial terrace, and wisconsinan till. its watershed is designated as a high-quality coldwater fishery and a migratory fishery. baker run begins on stone mountain in noxen township. it flows south-southeast down the mountain for a few tenths of a mile before turning south and continuing to flow down the mountain. after a short distance, it enters a deep valley and receives windfall run, its only named tributary, from the right. the stream then turns southeast for a short distance before turning south for a short distance. it then heads in an east-northeasterly direction (although it makes several turns) for a few tenths of a mile before reaching its confluence with bowman creek. baker run joins bowman creek upstream of its mouth. baker run has one named tributary, which is a long stream known as windfall run. windfall run joins baker run upstream of its mouth and drains an area of . baker run is not designated as an impaired waterbody. the elevation near the mouth of baker run is above sea level. the elevation near the source of baker run is between above sea level. the surficial geology in the vicinity of the lower reaches of baker run consists of alluvium, which contains stratified sand, silt, and gravel, and alluvial terrace. further upstream, in the middle and upper reaches, there is a till known as wisconsinan till, which is underlain by glacial lake clays in the vicinity of the stream's middle reaches. the watershed of baker run has an area of . the mouth of the stream is in the united states geological survey quadrangle of nxoen. however, its source is in the quadrangle of dutch mountain. baker run was entered into the geographic names information system on august 2, 1979. its identifier in the geographic names information system is 1198348. the stream is also known as windfall run. this variant name appears in a 1946 united states geological survey map. the drainage basin of baker run is designated as a high-quality coldwater fishery and a migratory fishery. wild trout naturally reproduce in the stream from its headwaters downstream to its mouth. the 1935 notre dame fighting

α-picoline-"n"-oxides to hydroxymethylpyridines. it is named after virgil boekelheide who first reported it in 1954. originally the reaction was carried out using acetic anhydride, which typically required a period at reflux (~140°c). the reaction can be performed using trifluoroacetic anhydride (tfaa), which often allows for a room temperature reaction. the mechanism of the boekelheide reaction begins by an acyl transfer from the trifluoroacetic anhydride to the "n"-oxide oxygen. the α-methyl carbon is then deprotonated by the trifluoroacetate anion. this sets the molecule up for a [3.3]-sigmatropic rearrangement which furnishes the trifluoroacetylated methylpyridine. hydrolysis of the trifluoroacetate releases the hydroxymethylpyridine. kilcurl (historically "kylkeryl" and "kilkirihill" and "kirkirle"; ) comprises the two townland areas of kilcurl anglesey and kilcurl feronsby. the townlands are situated from its nearest village, knocktopher, and located on a road to carrickshock monument away and to ballyhale. the village of knocktopher is situated in the parish of ballyhale, south county kilkenny, in ireland. kilcurl is primarily an area of rich farmland, but is also of historical significance due to the presence of a castle at kilcurl feronsby, the tithe war memorial at nearby carrickshock, the ancient church and graveyard ruins at kilcurl anglesey, and an ogham stone on adjoining lands with ballyboodan. its history has been established from extensive records, archives, local historians, recordings and international research. ancestry.com’s rootsweb references the very large number of historic castles of county kilkenny including kilcurl castle, that number being due to a history dating back to the time of the cambro-norman invasion in the late 12th century. they describe kilcurl castle as believed to have been built by treasa meith for the purcell family and known to have been forfeited by the purcells to oliver cromwell in the 1640s - when he confiscated most of the lands in knocktopher barony, as it was known at that time. near kilcurl is located the carrickshock monument, known locally as the site of the battle of carrickshock (1831). the kilcurl connection to it has been extensively documented and recorded. local knowledge was recorded in a documentary by rté national radio station, and digitised courtesy of rté’s archives on 18 july 2011, following their original broadcast in 1983. it captures the local story drawn from social memory, as handed down through the generations. it tells of a time when tithe taxes were being enforced despite difficult harvests and of the peasants' revolt against what was seen as greedy landlords and greedy clergymen. the first battle took place in graiguenamanagh on the carlow-kilkenny border, but the carrickshock monument is testimony to what is believed to have been its most important battle. the event’s importance was heightened by the major trial that followed in 1832, where local people were successfully defended by daniel o'connell. the trial was accompanied by a gathering that is recorded to have been c.200,000 in ballyhale, 1832, people called out from across four adjoining counties by the ringing of church bells along the way. the event and gathering are mentioned in correspondence at the michael davitt museum in mayo. it may have been an inspiration for daniel o'connell’s famous monster rallies of the 1840s and before the formation of the irish national land league, which davitt co-founded in 1879. independently, rootsweb describes the course of the tithe war (1831–38) as an anti-tithe movement. the social memory aspect of the story, and its accuracy, was the subject of a detailed international study, including the story of the tracey clan, by gary owens at huron university college, ontario, canada, in 2004. the ruins of kilcurl church of st. cairill, that gives kilcurl its name, and its graveyard still remain, with headstones dating back through the 1950s & '60s and to the battle of carrickshock of 1831 and earlier. mocavo's records from "the history and antiquities" states that in the diocese of ossory kilcurl church was another of the old parochial churches granted to the priory of kells in the first years of the 13th century by mathew fitz griffin. it was then known as kyle-churrl, or the church of st. cairill, and as the only saint named cairill mentioned in the was "st. cairill, bishop, at tir-rois", it is presumed he was identical to the saint of kilcurl. st cairill was known to be an irish missionary to western scotland in the 6th century. there are at least two other cille choirill churches that are now known - one in roybridge, scotland, and a second in adelaide, australia. their connectivity has recently been established back to cille choirill in scotland, but establishing the connection back to kilcurl in ireland is ongoing. also nearby is the location of an ogham stone, one of only 14 in kilkenny, and which is recorded by megalithic monuments of ireland as having been discovered in 1841 when standing erect, though now relocated on the same site. they state that it is one of near 400 discovered in ireland and the western uk, and was found to be composed of grained slate that has been dated back to 700-900 ad by ziegler. it is in length, in width, and in depth. local traditions have translated the inscription as "here lies corbmac ó cuinn". that may be cormac ua cuinn, meaning "grandson of conn", and also known as cormac mac airt or cormac ulfada (long beard) who was, according to medieval irish legend and historical tradition, a leading high king of ireland. he is believed to have ruled from tara c.250 ad and to be the most famous of the ancient high kings that ruled ireland from the 2nd to the 4th century. the treacy clan records show that kilcurl was once well known in kilkenny's cricket world, in 1884, at a time when the county had over 40 teams, although they had reduced to 20 by 1931. referring to the "history of cricket in co. kilkenny" by michael o'dwyer (2006) and "the forgotten game" by o'dwyer books, college gardens, kilkenny - they list kilcurl teams that beat knocktopher in 1984 and included j. carbery, j. treacy, j. treacy junior, j. quinn, d. treacy, p. long, p. power, w. gorman, m. scurry, m. kenny and j. ryan. dario maltese (born 29 september 1992) is an italian footballer who plays for giana erminio. born in palermo, sicily island, maltese started his career at fincantieri palermo. in summer 2008 he joined u.s. città di palermo, a serie a club from the same city. on 1 july 2011 maltese signed a 2-year professional contract with palermo. he spent two seasons with viareggio in a co-ownership deal, for a fee of peppercorn (€500). on 20 june 2013 palermo bought back maltese for €45,000. on 9 july 2013 maltese was signed by serie b club latina from palermo in another co-ownership deal, along with gianluca di chiara (loan). in january 2014 he left for l'aquila in a temporary deal. in june 2014 palermo gave up the remain 50% registration rights of maltese to latina. on 19 august 2014 maltese was signed by lega pro club reggiana in a temporary deal, with an option to purchase. on 12 august 2015 maltese was signed in a 3-year contract. on 9 october 2019 he joined serie c club giana erminio until the end of the season. "you're not yelping" is the fourth episode of the nineteenth season and the 261st overall episode of the animated television series "south park", written and directed by series co-creator trey parker. the episode premiered on comedy central on october 14, 2015. the episode primarily parodies the popularity of yelp restaurant reviews. after a whole foods market opens in south park, numerous restaurants start to open nearby. when randy and gerald are told there is a 30-minute wait for a table at one restaurant, gerald mentions that he is a yelp reviewer, and he and randy are immediately seated. meanwhile, cartman, also a yelp reviewer, extorts free food from a new mexican restaurant by threatening to give it a poor review. when cartman is rude to the restaurant owner's son david (pronounced dah-veed), who works there as a busboy, david asserts himself to cartman, but his father warns him not to do so out of fear of receiving bad reviews. when cartman learns the next day that david is now attending south park elementary, he deliberately mispronounces david's name, belittles him, and threatens to lower the rating he gave to the restaurant unless david complies with cartman's demands and demeaning insults. he also pressures other restaurants into bringing him free food at lunch. other yelp reviewers around town become increasingly excessive in their demands. when the owner of the whistlin' willy's family restaurant throws them out in frustration, his business experiences a rise in popularity. other restaurants follow suit, banning all yelp reviewers and food bloggers. angered at what he sees as threats to his exclusive position as a food critic, cartman calls the bloggers to a meeting at his house but is shocked at the sheer size of the crowd he draws. he rallies them by saying that they need to have one clear leader, not realizing that every member of the crowd sees himself or herself in that role. the crowd storms whistlin' willy's, destroying it and "beheading" the owner by pulling his over-sized mascot costume's head off in a style similar to the beheadings by isis. yelp reviewers all over south park begin to wage war against restaurants. the next day, cartman's friends angrily confront him, saying that whistlin' willy's was a favorite of theirs. david refuses to humiliate himself for cartman's amusement anymore and publicly challenges the yelp reviewers' leader for a fight, believing he is addressing cartman. this news quickly spreads, and david, accompanied by kyle, finds himself facing a crowd of all the reviewers at once, each thinking that the challenge was directed specifically at them. kyle devises a plan to deal with them all: one by one, and without each other's knowledge, each yelp reviewer is invited into mayor mcdaniels' office and given a golden badge proclaiming them as the most elite food critic in south park and to ensure that they get the treatment they deserve at restaurants. restaurants open their doors to the yelp reviewers again, but begin tainting dishes with bodily secretions such as urine, mucus, semen or feces whenever anyone with a badge places an order. the critics do not notice the tainting, and even cartman eagerly eats the laced food that david brings to him every day. ign's max nicholson gave the episode a 6.0 out of 10, and commented that "while cartman and his legion of food critics offered a handful of laughs early on, 'you're not yelping' as a whole felt drawn-out and dull." chris longo from den of geek gave the episode 2.5 out of 5 stars, summarizing "after three strong episodes, 'you're not yelping' gets the lowest ratings from me so far as i’m beginning to think we’re hitting a saturation point with the show getting by on cartman pointing and laughing at minorities." writing for the a.v. club, dan caffrey gave an a- rating to the episode, and commented in his review that "it's that exact contrast—this idea of something so trivial treated so dramatically—that makes 'you're not yelping' work." caffrey also noted that the episode as it aired on south park studios only had commercials for the yelp website. the episode received an emmy nomination for outstanding animated program. ammtx3, produced by "androctonus mauretanicus", is a scorpion toxin of the α-ktx15 subfamily. the toxin is known for its ability to act as a specific kv4 channel blocker, and thereby reducing the a-type potassium current through this channel. ammtx3 (α-ktx15.3) is a peptide that can be isolated from the venom of "androctonus mauretanicus". "androctonus mauretanicus" is a fat-tailed scorpion with its origins in north africa. ammtx3 has a molecular mass of 3823.5 da and consists of a single chain of 37 amino acid residues. these residues are cross-linked by three disulfide bridges. the toxin contains the dyad characteristic (k27 and y36) that is found in pore-blocking potassium channel-specific toxins, and is therefore likely to act as a pore blocker. ammtx3 is a member of the α-ktx15 subfamily. this subfamily currently exists of six very homologous peptides, originating from scorpion venom: aa1, aatx1, aatx2, ammtx3, bmtx3 and discrepin. toxins of the α-ktx15 subfamily all seem to have an effect on the a-type potassium current. ammtx3 is a specific pore blocker of kv4.2 and kv4.3 channels of mice. this high-affinity blockade depends on the expression of dipeptidyl peptidase-like proteins (dpp) dpp6 and dpp10, which are proteins that co-assemble with the alpha-subunits of kv4 channels. besides its potent ability to block kv4 channel, ammtx3 also has a small blocking effect on herg channels without alteration of the gating kinetics. by blocking specifically the kv4 channels, ammtx3 reduces the a-type potassium current through these channels almost completely. a-type potassium currents can be generated by kv1.4, kv3.3, kv3.4, all members of kv4 and erg3 channels. the influence of ammtx3 on the overall a-type potassium currents hence depends on the specific channel types that mediate this current in the cell. for example, in the solitary nucleus, the a-type potassium current is kv4-mediated. therefore, presence of ammtx3 in the solitary nucleus cells blocks the a-type potassium current almost completely. similar effects have been found in the hippocampus, substantia nigra, and cerebellum granule cells of rats and mice. while ammtx3 nearly completely blocks the transient component of the a-type potassium current in cerebellar granular neurons at 0.5 μm, the sustained component of the current, which is thought to be kv3.1 mediated, seems unaffected, in contrast to aa1 and bmtx3. ammtx3 is predominantly used in research setting, where it is often injected into specific brain areas to learn more about the role of kv4 channels in those areas. for example, ammtx3 possibly impairs the consolidation of spatial information and learning strategy through kv4 channel inhibition, as found within rats in a radial-maze task. ammtx3 also increases spontaneous pacemaking frequency in substantia nigra pars compacta dopaminergic neurons the ki of ammtx3 was found to be approximately 131 nm when tested on striatal neurons in cell culture. ammtx3 has a small blocking effect on herg channels with an ic50 of 7.9 ± 1.4 μm. the aetoloacarnania football clubs association (afca) ("ένωση ποδοσφαιρικών σωματείων αιτωλοακαρνανίας", "επσαιτωλ" = "enosi podosfairikon somateion aetoloacarnanias", "epsaitol") is a football (soccer) organization in the aetolia-acarnania region that is part of the greek football federation. it was founded in 1968 and its main headquarters are in the city of messolonghi. the 2015 season is chennaiyin fc's second season of indian super league. chennayin defeated fc goa 3-2 in the finals to win the season. "as of 21 december 2015:" henry pineau (january 22, 1863 – february 18, 1904) was a canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of 1st prince in the legislative assembly of prince edward island from 1899 to 1900. a member of the conservative party, he was most noted for crossing the floor to vote with the governing liberals on a crucial motion of non-confidence in early 1900. a farmer and fisherman in miminegash, prince edward island, pineau was elected to the legislature in a by-election in 1899, after the election of meddie gallant in an 1898 by-election was overturned by the courts. however, he was rarely actually present in the legislature until the confidence crisis of early 1900, when the government of donald farquharson was threatened by mla joseph wise's attempt to withdraw his earlier resignation; wise attempted to vote with the conservatives, which would have brought down the government, but his vote was disqualified by speaker james cummiskey. pineau then crossed the floor to the liberals, ensuring the government's survival on the vote. pineau did not run for reelection in the 1900 general election. he died on february 18, 1904 in miminegash. virginia morales is a mexican photographer and member of the salón de la plástica mexicana. her interest in photography started young, and in 1978 entered a course offered by the casa del lago (unam), studying the craft there until 1980. her first professional exhibition was with mexico’s national photography biennial in 1980 at the gallery of the auditorio nacional. since then, her work has been presented in numerous collective exhibitions and has appeared in numerous publications such as the sculpture catalog a la sazón de los 80’s and the audiovisual work "salvemos esta bosque", published by the casa del lago, as well as in magazines such as "foto-zoom", "sonar", "foto forum" and "macrópolis". other notable collective shows include those at the salon of photographic art in france (1990), the templo mayor in mexico city (1992), the salón de la plástica mexicana (1995), and at unesco (new york, 1995). her exhibition called "ausencias" (absences) appeared at the instituto norteamericano de relaciones culturales in 1987, and in 1989, she exhibited "mujeres vistas por mujeres" in caracas, venezuela. another individual exhibition called y el nouveau, was organized by the salón de la plástica mexicana in 1995. in 1989, she collaborated with the instituto nacional de bellas artes on a project related to alfonso reyes. her work continues to be included in various collective exhibits, primarily with the salón de la plástica mexicana.

rsa or christina saunders (17 december 1796 – 30 april 1854) was a scottish artist who became a russian court painter. she was the first woman honorary member of the royal scottish academy. saunders was born in kinghorn in fife in 1796. she is thought to have been both trained by her uncle, george sa(u)nders and launched into her career based at his house in london. sanders was a successful portrait painter and she rapidly established a flow of commissions initially from scottish patrons for her miniatures but later for oil and watercolour paintings. by 1823 she was married to james robertson and exhibiting at the royal academy and by 1828 she had her own studio. the following year she became the first honorary woman member of the royal scottish academy. during the 1830s she was travelling away from her artist husband and her own children. she worked in paris in the mid 1830s and she was tempted to st petersburg. there would have been more commissions than normal to replace the paintings lost in the fire that destroyed the winter palace in 1837. robertson was in st petersburg from 1839 to 1841 where she carried out full length painting of empress alexandra and her three daughters - maria, olga and alexandra. in 1841 she was made an honorary member of the imperial academy of arts. some of her portraits were engraved by 1833 and they were included in "the portrait gallery of distinguished females including beauties of the courts of george iv and william iv with memoirs by john burke. robertson died in saint petersburg. roberstson left dozens of paintings that are important if only because they record the portraits of historic figures. she is thought to be less well known that she might be as of the deterioration of the relationship between the british and russian empires. rhodoplanes oryzae is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, phototrophic bacterium from the genus of rhodoplanes. the 2015 fai cup final was the final match of the 2015 fai cup, the national

is also the headquarters of kailashahar baptist christian association. it has a bengali medium senior basic school and an english medium school, "darchawi christian high school" established in 1974. prior to the establishment of darchawi, the darlong people resided in the western side of deo river (nelkang tuipui), "ramdingpa's village" and "lalvana's village". the establishment of darchawi village can be attributed to evangelist zatuaha's prayer of establishing a christian village for the darlong people who were driven out of "saidara khua" by their chief for embracing christianity. evangelist zatuaha and six other darlongs from "saidara khua" wandered to find a suitable place. they finally halted at this location on 23 january 1923, and named it 'darchawi' (literally meaning 'raise the bells'). over a period of 90 years, a sea change has taken place as people from different communities such as the darlong, tripuri, garo, lushai, bengali, etc. irrespective of caste or creed settled here. oranges were cultivated until the year 1937 ad. it was said that each tree bore fruits so abundantly that trees could not sustain without support. they were commercially grown for traders mainly from kailashahar. the dependency of the villagers on "jhum" cultivation immediately stopped. the cultivation of pineapple started from 1937 ad. the production was around 2 million units per annum during the peak production years between 1955 ad and 1982 ad. there was huge wastage due to insufficient processing technologies during that period. pineapple cultivation has contributed much to their well being and improved quality of life. in recent years, a majority of the population of the village has switched over to rubber plantations. education has also brought a major transition in the day to day activities of the village people since a major population are engaged in government and public services for their livelihood and well-being. rosemary stjernstedt (11 june 1912 – 31 october 1998) was an english architect and town planner. she began her career designing furniture in london and then worked on production drawings for the barber institute of fine arts in

achieve grade i status at london county council. rosemary owen-smith was born and raised in birmingham to banker james owen-smith and patricia crossby and was trained as an architect at the birmingham school of art. after graduating in 1934, she found work designing church furniture in london before joining the more established art deco practice of robert atkinson, where she worked on the production drawings for the barber institute for fine arts in birmingham. it was during this time that she undertook a planning course at the architectural association before deciding to move to sweden in the 1939 after visiting new housing projects on her previous holiday. there, she worked for six years as an architect and town planner. she married the swedish lawyer- from a baronial family- gunnar stjernstedt (born 1911), taking his surname, and moved to gothenburg in 1943 where she worked for the city of gothenburg planning office on housing and playground layouts. stjernstedt returned to england after world war ii and began working for the london county council housing division. she was the first female architect to achieve grade i status at london county council and in 1950 she became the first woman to reach senior grade i status in any british council county division. from 1951 to 1955, she led the design team for alton east estate, a pioneering council housing estate in roehampton that later became grade ii listed buildings. when london county council was dissolved in 1964, stjernstedt began working for lambeth london borough council under ted hollamby. there, she was in charge of the design team for a variety of projects that included the masterplan for the central hill estate, another landscaped, award-winning council estate. in 1967, she moved to the housing development directorate at the department of environment working under the architect, pat tindale. she helped tinsdale with her research on layouts and on timber framed housing working closely with the building regulations department. stjernstedt retired in 1972 at the age of 60 and moved to wales where she continued to work on modest alterations for the cottages of the local inhabitants. in 1986, riba invited her to be part of their panel of avant-garde women architects as recognition of her achievements. the panel included jane drew, elaine denby, lynne walker and pat tindale. she had a son, robert (1941–2012), an ornithologist based in africa who inherited the stjernstedt barony on his father's death; her partner in later life was fred parker. she died on 31

inheritance of post-traumatic memory. she also works on issues of identity and the invisibility of trans women. she studied photography with stephen shore at bard college between 2000 and 2004. garbasz received the thomas j. watson fellowship in 2004/2005. she has lived in berlin since 2005, and has also lived in taiwan, thailand, japan, korea, israel, america and england. despite having suffered epoxy poisoning in 2014, from which she developed occupational asthma and chronic lung problems, she is also germany's first trans woman triathlete. 2004–2009 in her piece "in my mother's footsteps" the artist explores her inherited traumatic memories from her mother's holocaust experiences. for the project, the artist visited every single place her mother's life touched during that period. the project consisted of an exhibition (tokyo wonder site, 2009, wako works of art, 2009, and busan biennale 2010) and a book. this book was nominated for the german photo book prize in 2009. as of june 2017, the project had never been shown in germany. 2008–2010 in her project "becoming," garbasz explores her own body and the changes in her body one year before to one year after her gender affirmation surgery through the creation of a human-scale zoetrope. that project was also a flip book published in 2010 by mark batty publisher. the project was also included in the busan biennale 2010. in "eat me damien," garbasz looks and pokes fun at the predatory practices of both the art world and world commerce. in this work the artist puts her testicles removed during gender clarification surgery in a fish tank with formaldehyde, reminiscent of damien hirst's shark. shown at seven at miami art fair. garbasz has stated that she always planned to use the genitals in some way, and that this particular idea won out due to its title. in the "number project" garbasz brands herself with the auschwitz number of her mother. in the same location and size, she photographed her arm as well as herself over the month as the flesh almost heals. this is a social project looking to link the number after her mother's death to daily life in order to create a link with the past and not lose something that was forming in her mother's life. "ritual and reality" explores the trauma from the nuclear catastrophe in fukushima. color photographs and videos (each a 9 to 12 minute single take) are accompanied by an audio guide that describes garbasz's three-week journey through the fukushima exclusion zone in 2013 as well as the more general consequences of the nuclear disaster. "severed connections: do what i say or they will kill you" is an exploration of how fences as physical barriers create fear that allows governments to manipulate their people. this work was exhibited at the ronald feldman gallery in new york in 2015. it centers around her travels to korea, belfast, and the west bank where warring groups' close proximity is only separated by such barriers. she used a combination of photography, video, and sculpture for the exhibition. in an interview garbasz says that the fences are about "othering" and that "the less contact you have, the easier it is to make the other a monster," hearkening back to her personal struggles as a trans woman. spectrum management and telecommunications program is the department of innovation, science and economic development canada that is responsible for setting radio and telecommunications standards and certifying that radio apparatus and equipment meet these standards. innovation, science and economic development canada, together with representatives of the radiocommunication industry, developed the radiocommunication regulations. canada's radiocommunication act and radiocommunication regulations require that manufacturers, importers, distributors and sellers must test and label radio apparatus, interference-causing equipment or radio-sensitive equipment. more specifically, equipment must be classified as category i or ii and meet all the technical standards that are required for that type of equipment. category i equipment must obtain a technical acceptance certificate (tac) from innovation, science and economic development canada. individuals and corporations that do not comply with the regulations may face charges, fines or prison. category i equipment includes transmitters, cellular phones and wireless computer links. starting over again is a documentary directed by ruggero gabbai and produced by elliot malki. the film is about the exodus of the jews of egypt between 1948 and 1956. filming took place in paris, london, milan, new york city, washington, tel aviv, and jerusalem, starting in 2014. the documentary has been officially selected at the jerusalem film festival of 2015. the documentary is about the story of the egyptian jews between 1948 and 1956. the story is told by 20 witnesses who narrate their own experience. the film covers personal emotional memories, through interviews, historical events and footages. the protagonists were born in egypt and today they live in paris, milan, new york city, washington, london, tel aviv, sydney, and all around the world, but they are all connected by a mutual past. "the egypt of my childhood had a universal flavour and was without conflict, a wide ranging and inclusive breath that we carry with us like a precious gift’’. these are the words of the protagonists-witnesses of a golden age, buried beneath the happy sands of the sahara in the late 1950s, when the jews of egypt, settled for centuries, were forced to leave everything behind, their homes in cairo and alexandria, their properties, businesses, assets, money, activities, their homeland. for the jews of egypt, the drama unfolded between 1948 and 1956. with the fall of king farouk, the arab masses were influenced by nasser-soviet propaganda and guided towards the denial of the past, while pan-arabism and the spirit of revanche would eliminate the country's cosmopolitan legacy which dated back to the ottoman empire. before 1948 kids received a cosmopolitan education and in cairo there were 33 different schools: the italian, french, english, greek, protestant, catholic, jewish, among many others. the jews of egypt and many europeans were permanently expelled from the country. twenty pounds to survive were given to each person by the police authorities. the documentary wisely displays the protagonists' will to feed the fire of a new beginning, their persistent strength of resilience and refusal to fold against the events and trauma. it is the same determination that would lead to many of the 80 thousand the jews of egypt who left their country (only eight remain today), to build a new life marked by accomplishments, professional excellence and passion for study and culture. the stories of yves fedida, levana zamir, david harari, arturo schwarz, roly cohen, alec nacamuli, ada aharoni, sarah gabbai, albert and nissim malki, lucette lagnado, yvonne levi and many others, all born in egypt, are today a wonderful documentary film, starting over again, directed by ruggero gabbai and entirely produced by elliot malki. the egyptian jewish community roots date back to 2500 years ago, since then many waves of immigration granted a continuous presence in the region. the community was very diverse, mainly made up of immigrants from the near mediterranean countries and europe. in 1942, during the battle of el alamein, egyptian stability was preserved by the british general montgomery, whose army stopped general rommel’s advance, preventing the nazi forces from gaining ground in north africa. after world war ii, cairo and alexandria provided the ideal environment for the thriving of the jewish community. on the 14th of may 1948 the state of israel was declared. the following day a military coalition of arab states attacked the new-born jewish state. egypt formed part of that alliance and therefore an anti-zionist sentiment spread around the country, affecting the jewish families who had relatives living in israel and those who were active in youth zionist movements. within a few days, the egyptian authorities arrested in internment camps more than 1000 people among jews, european and political opponents. the foreign and jewish communities became the main target. in 1970 after nasser’s death, anwar al sadat became president of egypt. his policy consisted in a program of open doors to the western world and to israel. on 19 november 1977, sadat became the first arab leader to ever visit israel officially meeting with prime minister menachem begin. the peace between the two countries was signed in 1979. the film took nine months of work, it has been shot directly in english, italian and french. filming took place in many different locations all around the world, the idea was to show the actual cosmopolitan culture told by the witnesses. historical footages stagger the historical events, placing in time the testimonies. the 2008 women's youth world handball championship was the 2nd edition of the tournament and took place in the bratislava, (slovakia) from 11–20 july 2008. russian federation won the final against serbia by 27-22. sir john patrick basil higgins, known as sir eoin higgins (14 june 1927 – 2 september 1993), was a judge of the high court of northern ireland. he was knighted in 1988. born at town parks, magherafelt, county londonderry and described as a "devout roman catholic", he studied at st columb's college and at queens university belfast. in 1948 he was called to the bar and in 1967 became queen's counsel, having served in the county courts of armagh, fermanagh and antrim. he was first named to a judgeship in 1971. in 1982 he became recorder of belfast. he became a judge of the high court of northern ireland in 1984, and was in charge of the family division. he was a frequent target of assassination attempts by the irish republican army ever since his first judgeship in 1971 on a lower court. "the times" reported that "he was on almost every hit list they compiled, despite (or because of) his irish nationalism. higgins "wanted ireland and northern ireland to become united, but only through peaceful methods." in 1989, he tried loyalist paramilitary michael stone, who had killed six catholics, including one i.r.a terrorist, kevin brady, attending an outdoor funeral service for three provisional i.r.a. terrorists. he sentenced stone to life imprisonment with a recommendation that stone serve at least thirty years, calling him a "dangerous and ruthless criminal". sir eoin higgins died on 2 september 1993, aged 66, of an aneurysm in belfast, where he resided. he had been due to be sworn in as a lord justice of appeal of northern ireland the following day. devil's peak estate is a suburb of cape town, south africa in the area known as the city bowl. it is sandwiched between vredehoek and zonnebloem on the slopes of devil's peak. according to the 2011 census it has a population of 1,859 residents in an area of . devil's peak is situated adjacent to the m3 expressway (de waal drive changed to philip kgosana drive). the name devil's peak is descriptive of its location as this is the closes suburb to the mountain peak of the same name. it's derived from a folklore story about a pipe smoking competition between a pirate named van hunks and the devil. to this day when a cloud forms around the mountain people will say that "the devil and van hunks are at it again". devil's peak is knows as one of the windiest places in the city bowl. it is served by route

kurram militia is a unit of the frontier corps of the paramilitary forces of pakistan. it was originally raised by the british in 1892 to operate in the north-west frontier province, and carried in that role following pakistan's independence in 1947. british troops of the kurram valley field force, under the command of colonel frederick roberts, first entered the kurram valley in 1878, during the second anglo-afghan war, to mount operations against the afghans. although the purpose of this expedition was not the permanent occupation of the valley, the british soon realized the necessity and importance of holding it. general henry rawlinson noted: some years later the turis (a major tribe in the valley) found themselves under attack from the lower kurram by bangash and zaimukht tribesmen, and also threatened by the afghans, and so requested british help. sir olaf caroe wrote: the british military historian charles à court repington wrote: in october 1892, in order to defend the area, the british created the turi militia, recruited from the local inhabitants. it was initially based at balish khel near sadda, but within a few months the unit's headquarters were moved to parachinar, and it was renamed the kurram militia. the militia was originally divided into two parts: the 1st battalion as a mobile column, while the 2nd battalion garrisoned the valley. this proved impracticable, and in 1902 the two battalions were amalgamated under a single commander, and organized into two wings, each of three companies. in 1894 the total strength of the militia was 948, and by 1905 it had increased to 1,475. the kurram militia first saw action during the tirah campaign in late 1897. on 1 september orakzai tribesmen attacked a militia post at balish khel near sadda. the garrison held off the attackers for 24 hours, though twenty kurram militia men were killed, until the arrival of the flying column. sadda itself, was attacked on 16 september by about 2,000 orakzai, but they were repulsed by a combined army and militia force. in 1902 the kurram militia provided 200 men for the successful operations against wazirs in bannu under major general charles egerton, and in 1904 when the zazis from zazi maidan attacked in force, they were repulsed by a force of kurram militia under lt. boyle. during the third anglo-afghan war of 1919 the afghan general nadir khan moved into the kurram valley, cutting the thall to parachinar road, and induced numbers of zaimukht and orakzai to join him. to relieve thall, a british force advanced from jalalabad, and nadir khan was obliged to withdraw after four days. during the time that the kurram militia were cut off, they gave an excellent account of themselves, not only defending the valley, but also occupying vantage points, which later acted as stepping stones for further operations against the afghans. after their relief, they captured the afghan post at amir thana. the commander-in-chief, india, in his dispatches described the conduct of the kurram militia as "deserving of highest praise". members of the kurram militia received three awards of the indian order of merit, and one indian distinguished service medal. following the independence of pakistan the kurram militia continued to operate as part of the frontier corps. in 1948, a small contingent of volunteers participated in the first indo-pakistani war. they initially operated in jammu and kashmir, and were later employed in a defensive role in chakothi. in recognition of their services two awards of the sitara-e-jurat were later conferred. by 1960 the militia numbered 1,928 men. four companies of kurram militia, with supporting arms, were employed during the indo-pakistani war of 1965. six men were killed, eighteen wounded, and one captured. in 1976 a third wing, and in 1984, a fourth, were raised. in february 1988, a fifth wing was raised, bringing the total strength of the militia to 3,460 men. it currently comprises five rifle wings, along with one medium battery of 130 mm and 155 mm guns, a field battery of 25-pounder guns, and a tank troop. dominicus smout or dominicus smouts (before 1671 – after 1733) was a flemish painter of genre scenes who was active in antwerp between 1683 and 1733. details about the life of dominicus smout are scarce and his birth and death dates are unknown. it is assumed that he was born in antwerp as the oldest child of the painter and art dealer dominicus smout the elder and anna maria tijssens. his father had studied under artus wolffort and was a figure painter. his younger brother lucas smout the younger became a painter of coastal and country scenes while two of his sisters married painters. his mother was a member of the prominent tijssens or tyssens family of artists in antwerp, which included artists such as jan baptist tijssens the younger. his father died in 1674 and his mother in 1686. his sister clara catharina continued to operate the art and painting materials business of her parents. dominicus smout was registered in 1683-1684 in the registers of the antwerp guild of saint luke as a pupil of the history painter godfried maes. in 1700-1701 he was registered as a 'wijnmeester' (i.e. the family member of an existing or former member) of the guild. the last records regarding dominicus smout in the guild's books date to 1733. smout appears to have been active in antwerp throughout his career. although smout had a fairly long career, very few works are currently attributed to him. while he has been described by some as a history painter, the works currently ascribed to him are all genre paintings mainly dealing with two subjects: artist studios and the miser. the artist studio genre developed in the 15th century in the low countries when artists starting representing themselves in elevated historical guises, either as the evangelist luke painting mary and the infant jesus or as famous painters from antiquity such as apelles, painter to alexander the great. in the 17th-century dutch painters inverted the traditions of the two preceding centuries by rejecting historical guises and idealised settings and substituting more direct, true-to-life images of the painter at work. in flanders, important practitioners of the genre were gerard thomas and balthasar van den bossche and some of smout's works have occasionally been attributed to these better known artists. the theme of the miser and, in particular ‘death and the miser’, goes back to the 15th century netherlandish art. an example is the work death and the miser by hieronymus bosch dated to 1494 or later. a number of smout's works deal with this theme. as is common in the treatment of this subject matter, smout uses it to include lavish still lifes of precious objects such as expensive metal plates, antiques, globes, coffers likely filled with coins or other treasury, etc., which are then combined with vanitas symbols such as still lives of game (referencing death) and even the physical entry of death itself in the form of a skeleton. a painting depicting "", which contains similar imagery as the miser pictures, was sold at bonhams (18 january 2012, london, lot 238) as 'circle of balthasar van den bossche' but has now been attributed to dominicus smout. samuel manship was an english stationer and bookseller in the city of london who acted as publisher for several noted writers and became a landowner in surrey. born about 1665, he was the second son of the reverend john manship (1612–1689) from locking, somerset and his wife barbara. his father had been rector of the anglican church of st nicolas, guildford but in 1662 was ejected and instead became a physician and presbyterian preacher in guildford. his elder brother john manship (1659–1705) became an oxford don and physician. samuel went into business in the city of london, being admitted a citizen and member of the stationers company. from premises in cornhill, first at the sign of the black bull and later at the ship, he sold books and stationery. his shop also served as a distribution point for many art sale catalogues his main fame is as a publisher who acted for a large number of contemporary writers, both english and french, on a variety of subjects, particularly philosophy and theology. among his authors were :
antoinette bourignon de la porte
françois de chavigny de la bretonnière
john pennyman, the husband of mary pennyman
susanna wesley and
in 1709 he acquired the manor and mansion of field place at compton outside guildford(the house sold for 6 million pounds in 2006). as an elector in the cornhill ward, local activists of the whig party wanted his vote and in a meeting on 16 december 1714 resolved to approach him through the lord chancellor, william cowper, 1st earl cowper. he was buried on 24 january 1720 in the new vault of the church of st michael, cornhill and his will was proved on 1 february 1720 on 16 july 1692 he married anne lane and they had seven children. his elder son john manship (1695–1749), who went into business as a cloth merchant, in 1723 married elizabeth garbrand (1706–1788), a descendant of the bookseller gerbrand harkes, and inherited the estate at compton on the death of his mother in 1734. the eldest surviving daughter elizabeth manship (1701–1733) married richard dowdeswell (1692–1730), a cousin of the landowner and politician william dowdeswell. the terms "dog people" and "cat people" refer to a person's domesticated animal preference. some people base a significant portion of their identity around their affinity for either cats or dogs, describing themselves as a "cat person" or a "dog person". this builds on the perceived dichotomy between cats and dogs as pets in society. the two terms refer to people's self-identification, regardless of what pets they actually own, if any. a 2010 study at the university of texas found that those who identified as "dog people" tended to be more social and outgoing, whereas "cat people" tended to be more neurotic and "open", meaning creative, philosophical, or nontraditional. in a 2014 study at carroll university, wisconsin, people who said they were dog lovers were found to be more energetic and outgoing, and tended to follow rules closely, while cat lovers were more introverted, open-minded and sensitive. cat people also tended to be non-conformists, as well as scoring higher on intelligence tests than dog lovers. studies have shown that cat owners are more likely to have higher blood pressure according to cnn. the imathia football clubs association (imfca) ("ένωση ποδοσφαιρικών σωματείων ημαθίας", "επσhμ" = "enosi

competed in three olympic games between 1948 and 1968. alonso-allende also was a world-class competitor in the snipe, star, firefly and flying dutchman classes. he won the snipe class world championship in 1957. besides, he won the first edition of the spanish championship of the class in 1942 as a crew with his brother, josé maria, and as a skipper in 1956 and 1957. in the star class, he was spanish national champion in 1943, 1945, 1947, 1966, 1967 and 1968. alonso-allende sailed at 3 different olympic games: a post processor is a unique "driver" specific to a cnc machine, robot or mechanism; some machines start at different locations or require extra movement between each operation, the post-processor works with the cam software or off-line programming software to make sure the g-code output or program is correct for a specific trademark machine control cabinet (fanuc, siemens-sinumeric, mazak-mazatrol, heidenhein, deckel-maho, etc. cam software uses geometry from a cad model and converts it to g-code. the cam software analyzes the cad model, determines what tooling and toolpaths will be used to mill the desired features. doing so requires a cam post processor that generates the exact g-code dialect used by the machine control module (sinumeric, fanuc, mazatrol, heidenhein, toshiba etc) that is being targeted. an instance of such a translation is often referred to as a "post". there will be a different “post” for each g-code dialect the cam software supports. post processors (usually do not convert g-code from one dialect to the next), rather the “post” uses an intermediate format that captures the g-code commands in a dialect-independent form. most cam software accomplishes this with an intermediate format called "cl.data." please adjust the above terms. post processor is a software subroutine(sub-program) which converts graphical or non-graphical cam software toolpath outcome into a specific nc control(fanuc, sinumeric, mazatrol, heidenhein) post processor is independent of hardware, it is a software adapting (compiling) toolpath into machine readable language or motions. the post-processor will alter the program output to suit a specific machine; a "post" can be used for complex things like producing a proprietary machine language other than g-code or m-code, or a post-processor may be used to start a machine from a specific position. another example of use for a post-processor would be an atc (automatic-tool-change) for a cnc, the post-processor is required so the correct tool is collected from the correct location. some devices connect to the computer using "serial communication" and some cnc devices connect using "parallel communication", the post-processor does not influence the "communication", the machine software does. there is post processors too on context of web development and development in general. bözberg tunnel may refer to two adjacent tunnels under the bözberg pass in the swiss canton of aargau: laura, una vida extraordinaria (english: "laura, an extraordinary life", is a colombian telenovela produced by ángela pulido serrano for caracol televisión and distributed by caracol televisión internacional. it is based on some moments of the life of the educator, catholic missionary, laura montoya. it stars and . it is the story late nineteenth century of laura montoya, about her beginning in the city of jericó on her childhood and youth; it was held in a downtown nuns not being accepted by their families; she learned to read and write and received religious instruction to be educator. a few years later she was also accepted at the university, but was despised by discrimination and disreputable about his life as a child. in the end, after many ups and downs was recognized as the best exponent catholic missionary founder of the congregation of the "misioneras de maría inmaculada y de santa catalina de siena". the school formerly had a senior high school division. the school was established on april 25, 1965. construction of the dormitory was completed on october 4, 1967. on april 1, 1970 the senior high school division opened. the first high school class graduated on march 10, 1971. the senior high school building was expanded by four classrooms on april 5, 1973. the kindergarten section was established on april 5, 1977. historically the school used a five story classroom building. the 2011 tōhoku earthquake and tsunami destroyed the classroom building, forcing the school to use the cafeteria and dormitories as classrooms. the school began asking for financial assistance from the japanese government in rebuilding its classroom facilities: yun requested about 100 million yen to 200 million yen while the japanese government stated it provided 1.5 million yen (us$18,000) in 2011. karunellinathar temple is a hindu temple dedicated to shiva, located in thiruthangal, a town in the outskirts of sivakasi, a in tamil nadu, india. shiva is worshiped as karunellinathar, and is represented by the "lingam" and his consort parvati is depicted as chokki amman. it is built on a hillock and houses a small gateway tower known as "gopurams". the temple is a rock cut temple and has many shrines, with those of karunellinathar and chokki amman being the most prominent. the temple is located on the other side of ninra narayana perumal temple, a famous vishnu temple and can be reached from that temple on the hillock. the temple is believed to have been built by gurukalathirayan during the pandyan regime in 1233 ce. the temple has four daily rituals at various times from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and four yearly festivals on its calendar. the temple is maintained and administered by the hindu religious and endowment board of the government of tamil nadu. as per a hindu legend, ranganatha (the reclining form of vishnu) from srirangam ranganathaswamy temple was enamoured by the devotion of andal. he started a journey to srivilliputhur divya desam to seek her hand for marriage. while reaching the place, it became dark and he decided to spend the night in the place. since he stayed at this place, it came to be known as thiruthangal and the hillock came to be known as thalagiri. as per another legend, the pandavas from mahabharatha were living in exile and were roaming around the forest of western ghats. they could not get water for performing their daily pooja. as sun was rising, arjuna, one of the princes, prayed to ganga to send water to the place and shot an arrow that split earth and brought forth a river. the river that originated is believed to be the arjuna river in modern times. the place where the temple was located was believed to be housing two amla trees (called "nelli" in tamil) and hence got the name as irunellinathar, which later went on to become karunellinathar. karunellinathar temple is believed to have been built by pandyas. there are a host of inscriptions in the temple indicating information related to the gifts offered to the temple. one of the inscription from 1032 ce indicates the temples as paramaswamy who willingly chose the hillock as his abode. a lake by name of vallabha pereri existed by the side of the temple. the temple is believed to have been expanded by gurukalathirayan, the minister of sundara pandya during the pandyan regime in 1233 ce. ulli bomman kalangatha kanda nayakar, who attained martyrdom in a war at thiruthangal, was sanctified by donating the places around thiruthangal to his family. an image of the warrior is found in the temple. it is built on a hillock and houses a small gateway tower known as "gopurams". the temple has many shrines, with those of karunellinathar and chokki amman being the most prominent. the temple is located on the other side of ninra narayana perumal temple, a famous vishnu temple and can be reached from that temple on the hillock. the temple is a rock cut temple and the main shrine of the temple is of karunellinathar. there are separate shrines for vinayaka, surya, chandra and dakshinamurthi. there is a huge life size stone image of nataraja and sivakami and housed in the dancing hall of the temple. the temple is more known for the shrine of palaniandavar, which is found near the entrance of the temple. arumugha tambiran was an ardent devotee of muruga. he used to travel to palani carrying a kavadi and returned to thiruthangal the same day. as years rolled by, thambiran found it difficult to travel all the way to palani. he used to ascend a few steps and then return. while cooking food one day, god murugan showered gold coins in his route. he took up the gold coins and built the shrine of palani andavar. the place where he breathed his last is marked by a mutt and his articles are still maintained. the temple priests perform the "pooja" (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis. like other shiva temples of tamil nadu, the priests belong to the shaivaite community, a brahmin sub-caste. the temple rituals are performed four times a day; kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., uchikalam at 12:00 p.m., sayarakshai at 5:00 p.m., and ardha jamam at 8:30 p.m. each ritual comprises four steps: "abhisheka" (sacred bath), "alangaram" (decoration), "neivethanam" (food offering) and "deepa aradanai" (waving of lamps) for both annamalaiyar and unnamulai amman. the worship is held amidst music with "nagaswaram" (pipe instrument) and "tavil" (percussion instrument), religious instructions in the vedas (sacred text) read by priests and prostration by worshippers in front of the temple mast. there are weekly rituals like ' and ', fortnightly rituals like "pradosham" and monthly festivals like "amavasai" (new moon day), "kiruthigai", "pournami" (full moon day) and "sathurthi". thai poosam is a festival celebrated during january and food is distributed to poor people. ryan dicker (born 22 september 1986) is an english professional footballer who plays as a central defender for leek town and the british virgin islands national

approach to the formation of pyridines named after its inventor dale l. boger, who first reported it in 1981. the reaction is a form of inverse-electron demand diels-alder reaction in which an enamine reacts with a 1,2,4-triazine to form the pyridine nucleus. the reaction is especially useful for accessing pyridines that would be difficult or impossible to access via other methods and has been used in the total synthesis of several complicated natural products. the enamine is generally generated "in situ" from catalytic amine (such as pyrrolidine) and a ketone. the enamine then reacts as the dienophile with a 1,2,4-triazine. the initial adduct then expels nitrogen, and the pyridine is rearomatized with loss of the amine. kingston-upon-thames crown court is a crown court at 6–8 penrhyn

in senegal on 12 august 1849 as part of the wider french elections. incumbent mp barthélémy durand valantin was re-elected with 65% of the vote. the single senegalese seat in the national assembly was created by decree on 5 march 1848. following an order of 5 november 1830 and a law of 24 april 1833, all free-born people and freed slaves in senegal had full civic and political rights, the only french african colony to give such rights until the end of world war ii. the right to vote was given to all men over the age of 25 and who could prove they had lived in their municipality for the previous five years. in total 4,991 men registered to vote, up from 4,706 in the 1848 elections. valantin retired from politics in 1851, but before a by-election could be held, a decree of 2 february 1852 abolished senegalese representation in the national assembly. proof of existence is an online service that verifies the existence of computer files as of a specific time via timestamped transactions in the bitcoin blockchain. it was launched in 2013 as an open source project. it was developed by manuel araoz and esteban ordano. on may 24, 2013 reporter jeremy kirk from idg news service wrote that "it's essentially a notary public service on the internet, an inexpensive way of using bitcoin's distributed computing power to allow people to verify that a document existed at a certain point in time." terence lee from tech in asia said, "notaries — people with legal training that are licensed by the state to authenticate the signing of documents — could use this to timestamp contractual agreements." in november 2013, proof of existence also received attention in spanish-language genbeta in "proof of existence, certificando documentos con bitcoin". on april 22, 2014 reporter rob wile from business insider wrote that it is "perhaps the most straightforward example of a post-bitcoin service using satoshi's blockchain". in her 2015 book "blockchain: blueprint for a new economy" from o'reilly media, author melanie swan wrote it was "one of the first services to offer blockchain attestation". since 2014, o'reilly author andreas antonopoulos uses proof of existence as an example in his book, "mastering bitcoin". the service enters a sha256 cryptographic hash of a document into the blockchain. the service costs 5 mbtc per use. as of this writing (2016-12-24), each use of the service creates 2 transaction outputs. one of them holds the identifier 0x444f4350524f4f46 (which is 'docproof' when converted to utf-8 / ascii) with the sha256sum of the document whose existence at the time of admission of the transaction into the blockchain is proven appended. this transaction output is provably unspendable because it's marked as such via an op_return at the beginning of the output script and doesn't hold any value. the other transaction output holds 4.9 mbtc and pays the service's operators. 0.1 mbtc is paid as a fee to the miner admitting the transaction into the blockchain. to verify the existence of a document at the contended time, one proceeds as follows: note that the block time of each block may be slightly inaccurate as it "is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours". however, a more accurate time can be calculated from the surrounding blocks if increased precision is necessary. lego house is an experience centre in billund, denmark. near legoland, it is a 12,000-square metre house filled with 25 million lego bricks. lego house allows children and adults to physically and digitally build with lego bricks, with activities such as programming robots and animating models. lego house is also called home of the brick with references to billund, where lego originates. the house was designed by bjarke ingels group, and was inaugurated on september 28, 2017. kirkbi was the developer, and it is owned and operated by lego foundation subsidiary "koldingvej 2, billund a / s". the house's experience zones consist of two exhibition areas and four play areas. architecture involves 21 staggered blocks that resemble lego bricks, with nine roof terraces containing children’s play areas. allendeite, sczro, is an oxide mineral. allendeite was discovered in a small ultrarefractory inclusion within the allende meteorite. this inclusion has been named acm-1. it is one of several scandium rich minerals that have been found in meteorites. allendeite is trigonal, with a calculated density of 4.84 g/cm. the new mineral was found along with hexamolybdenum. these minerals, are believed to demonstrate conditions during the early stages of the solar system, as is the case with many cv3 carbonaceous chondrites such as the allende meteorite. it is named after the allende meteorite that fell in 1969 near pueblito de allende, chihuahua, mexico. allendeite was found as nano-crystals in an ultrarefractory inclusion in the allende meteorite. the allende meteorite has shown to be full of new minerals, after nearly forty years it has produced one in ten of the now known minerals in meteorites. this cv3 carbonaceous chondrite was the largest ever recovered on earth and is referred to as the best-studied meteorite in history. the inclusion has only been viewed via electron microscopy. the sample is one centimeter in diameter and has been entrusted to the smithsonian institution's national museum of natural history with the catalog number usnm7554. one crystal studied is a single 15 x 25 micron size with included perovskite, various osmium-iridium-molybdenum-tungsten alloys, and scandium-stabilized tazheranite. in fact, all allendeite was in contact with perovskite. the grains are anhedral, with no observable crystal forms or twinning. various scandium rich minerals have been found in meteorites, including; davisite, panguite, kangite, tazheranite, thortveitite, and eringaite. of these, allendeite is the most sc rich, with only pretulite containing substantially more scandium. color, streak, luster, hardness, tenacity, cleavage, fracture, density, and refractive index could not be observed because the grain size was too small and the section bearing the mineral was optically thick. a partition of a polygon is a set of primitive units (e.g. squares), which do not overlap and whose union equals the polygon. a polygon partition problem is a problem of finding a partition which is minimal in some sense, for example a partition with a smallest number of units or with units of smallest total side-length. polygon partitioning is an important class of problems in computational geometry. there are many different polygon partition problems, depending on the type of polygon being partitioned and on the types of units allowed in the partition. the term polygon decomposition is often used as a general term that includes both covering and partitioning. polygon decomposition is applied in several areas: the most well-studied polygon partition problem is partitioning to a smallest number of triangles, also called triangulation. for a hole-free polygon with formula_1 vertices, a triangulation can be calculated in time formula_2. for a polygon with holes, there is a lower bound of formula_3. a related problem is partitioning to triangles with a minimal total edge length, also called minimum-weight triangulation. the same two variants of the problem were studied for the case in which the pieces should be pseudotriangles – polygons that like triangles have exactly three convex vertices. the variants are: partitioning to a smallest number of pseodutriangles, and partitioning to pseudotriangles with a minimal total edge length. a special sub-family of polygon partition problems arises when the large polygon is a rectilinear polygon (also called: orthogonal polygon). in this case, the most important component shape to consider is the rectangle. rectangular partitions have many applications. in vlsi design, it is necessary to decompose masks into the simpler shapes available in lithographic pattern generators, and similar mask decomposition problems also arise in dna microarray design. rectangular partitions can simplify convolution operations in image processing and can be used to compress bitmap images. closely related matrix decomposition problems have been applied to radiation therapy planning, and rectangular partitions have also been used to design robot self-assembly sequences. several polynomial-time algorithms for this problem are known; see and for a review. the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon to a smallest number of "squares" (in contrast to arbitrary rectangles) is np-hard. in vlsi artwork processing systems, it is often required to partition a polygonal region into the minimum number of trapezoids, with two horizontal sides. a triangle with a horizontal side is considered to be a trapezoid with two horizontal sides one of which is degenerate. for a hole-free polygon with formula_1 sides, a smallest such partition can be found in time formula_5. if the number of trapezoids need not be minimal a trapezoidation can be found in time formula_6, as a by-product of a polygon triangulation algorithm. if the polygon does contain holes, the problem is np-complete, but a 3-approximation can be found in time formula_7. a "quadrilateralization" or a "quadrangulation" is a partition into quadrilaterals. a recurring characteristic of quadrangulation problems is whether they steiner point are allowed, i.e., whether the algorithm is allowed to add points which are not vertices of the polygon. allowing steiner points may enable smaller divisions, but then it is much more difficult to guarantee that the divisions found by an algorithms have minimum size. there are linear-time algorithms for quadrangulations of hole-free polygons with steiner points, but they are not guaranteed to find a smallest partition. a generalization of previous problems is the problem of partitioning to polygons that have exactly "m" sides, or at most "m" sides. here the goal is to minimize the total edge length. this problem can be solved in time polynomial in "n" and "m". more general shapes of pieces have been studied, including: arbitrary convex polygons, spiral shapes, star polygons and monotone polygons. see for a survey. tige is a masculine given name and nickname which may refer to: fictional characters: "room 33" is the sixth episode of the of the anthology television series "american horror story". it aired on november 11, 2015 on the cable network fx. this episode was written by john j. gray and directed by loni peristere. goes to the to visit dr. charles montgomery, revealing that she is three weeks pregnant. before the abortion, the nurse is skeptical about elizabeth's abnormally low body temperature. during the process, the baby attacks the nurse assisting charles with the operation. when elizabeth wakes up, he announces she had a boy. in present day, john lowe is awoken from sleep by holden, and he chases him reaching the underground swimming pool where he sees alex lowe and holden in a coffin, and faints upon seeing them. liz taylor and tristan duffy have sex and profess their love for each other, but they are wary about elizabeth. in the meantime, elizabeth and will drake also begin foreplay, but stop because of will's erectile dysfunction. she texts tristan to join them, asking him to perform fellatio on will. alex drugs john and with liz's help destroy the coffins. john awakes again and sees alex on his bed. she explains that his "vision" of the pool filled with coffins is from scarlett's description. she follows him down to the now emptied sleeping chamber. elizabeth visits her son in room 33, before leaving for paris. donovan and ramona royale visit the hotel. in the elevator, ramona says her plans to kill the children, however, donovan backs out and goes to the penthouse in hopes to see elizabeth. ramona is surprised that the coffins are gone and confronts iris about it. ramona goes to room 33 to kill the baby, named bartholomew, but it attacks her and escapes. upstairs, donovan sees agnetha and vendela, the two swedish tourists, who ask him the way out. donovan explains that until they find a purpose, they will stay trapped. meanwhile, somewhere in the hotel justin's ghost appears outside a room yelling and demanding for kale. liz finds the room 33's door opened and explains to alex that they will get in trouble if bartholomew is not found before elizabeth gets back. in order to find purpose, agnetha and vendela kill a guest, but are disappointed. alex finds them beside the dead man, and tell them to haunt john. the latest crime scene involving the ten commandments killer is in a church where the televangelist pastor was stuffed with coins until he exploded. john learns that he had been fired and police already have someone in custody. he drinks in the corridor in the hotel, where agnetha and vendela approach him. during sex, they scare john, covering him with blood. john returns to the room with liz, and sees the girls leaving. he also sees miss evers and james march. he readies himself to leave and while showering, bartholomew hides in his suitcase. at home, scarlett is upset that alex has not returned her calls for the last two days, and questions why john is there. john returns to his room to find his clothes scattered. he gathers his gun from the closet and investigates, finding bartholomew in the kitchen. he shoots at the creature, with scarlett nearby, who runs away screaming. elizabeth, will, and lachlan return. while unpacking, liz reveals to elizabeth that she and tristan have been carrying on an affair for a few weeks. elizabeth says that she does not share, but maybe when she is done with tristan. liz pleads her case again, and elizabeth says they will talk it over. john's partner drops alex off at the house, concerned for john's health. alex tries to talk to him, but he realizes that she has moved to the hotel full-time and he shuns her. she follows a rustling in the bushes to find bartholomew. tristan greets elizabeth in liz's room, and she asks the two lovers to sit while she pours them each a drink. she says that she does not enjoy betrayal and afterwards she slices tristan's throat. elizabeth leaves to find alex and bartholomew in room 33. elizabeth is impressed that alex saved her son, and alex responds that elizabeth saved holden. as alex leaves, elizabeth cradles her son, who is revealed to be seriously deformed. "room 33" was watched by 2.64 million people during its original broadcast, and gained a 1.4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. it also ranked second in the nielsen social ratings, with 100,000 tweets seen by over 1.36 million people. the episode received favorable reviews from critics, earning a 67% approval rating based on 12 reviews, with an average score of 6.6/10, on review aggregator rotten tomatoes. alex stedman from "variety" complimented the episode, saying, "ryan murphy and co. have said from the beginning that if any "american horror story" season resembles "hotel", it's season one, "murder house". but episode six made that connection much more literal by bringing the countess straight to the place that's going to seem very familiar to fans." writing for "the a.v. club", emily l. stephens said that the episode "manages something genuinely surprising: it propels the story forward with nimble efficiency, ties together several of the season's flopping loose ends, circles back into the show's history, and creates some tension along the way even as it acknowledges the ceaseless tedium created by its no-stakes cycle of death and resurrection." the acting in the episode was also received favorably by michele calia from "the wall street journal". "den of geek" ron hogan praised director loni peristere, and the scene about elizabeth's baby and its portrayal, as well as comparing the filming with that of "the evil dead". he also noted that the episode was "heavy on terrifying elements, from the monster baby stalking the hotel to the concerted efforts to turn lowe into a complete mental case, orchestrated by his wife alex." lacy baugher from "the baltimore sun" was impressed by o'hare's acting in the episode, saying, "once again, [he] completely stole the show, but the most important thing that happened – as far as longtime fans are concerned – has to be that opening sequence, and all the interesting inter-series connections it brought up." "entertainment monthly" jacqueline gualteri had a mixed response, writing, "many of the main characters this season are somewhat stale and just there for a shock. finally, lady gaga has given a bit of life to the blood-thirsty, drug-using, orgy-loving countess. she has started to develop more of a personality. but the major lesson the evening is that denis o'hare has so far been short-changed by "american horror story". he is one of the most talented actors on the show and deserves far more screen time. right now, just standing around to be a voice of reason every now and again is wasting his incredible ability." newnownext's erin shorey complimented the connection to "murder house", while criticizing the character of john lowe as well as bentley's acting. a similar thought was shared by brian moylan from "vulture", saying, "there is nothing at all i find interesting about john lowe. not one single thing. if you took all of his parts out of this season i think it would be absolutely perfect". he added in the end of the review that "as a whole, this season is continuing to shape up nicely. even the seemingly random bits are serving a larger whole. think of the swedes, who were brought back not just to show that they were trapped in the hotel, but also to drive the main story between john and chloë sevigny." writing for "the new york times", e.a. hanks criticized the gore and violence portrayal without any context, as well as liz taylor and tristan's love story, feeling that it was inadequate and compared it unfavorably to previous season's love stories. he asked, "what is "hotel" really about? for a show with a whole lot of innards, this one has yet to show its guts". aarón sánchez albuquerque (born 5 june 1996) is an andorran footballer who plays as a forward

the national assembly had been abolished by a decree of 2 february 1852. however, it was restored in 1871. a new electoral law was passed in 1875 that did not mention senegal, meaning no mp was elected in 1876. however, a decree of 1879 reinstated the seat. the stromberg is a heavily forested hill ridge up to in the northern part of the german state of baden-württemberg. porcupine (c. 1848–1929) was a cheyenne chief and medicine man. he is best known for bringing the ghost dance religion to the cheyenne. raised with the sioux of a cheyenne mother, he married a cheyenne himself and became a warrior in the cheyenne dog soldiers. porcupine fought against the u.s. in hancock's war in 1867 in which the cheyenne resisted moving to a reservation. porcupine's group was pursued by the 7th cavalry from kansas to nebraska. in nebraska he succeeded in derailing and wrecking a train, the first time this had been done by indians. at the conclusion of the great sioux war of 1876, the cheyenne surrendered and were deported to oklahoma. porcupine took part in the northern cheyenne exodus in which a part of the starving tribe fought their way back to their homeland in montana. porcupine was one of a group of cheyennes who were subsequently arrested on charges of murdering settlers as the cheyennes crossed kansas. after spending most of 1879 in prison, the charges were dismissed without a full trial taking place. in 1889, porcupine undertook a long journey to visit wovoka in nevada. wovoka was the prophet of the new ghost dance religion. porcupine believed that wovoka was the messiah who would save the indians and rid the continent of the white men. porcupine returned to preach the new religion to the cheyennes and began baptising converts into his church. the ghost dance spread throughout the plains tribes. the u.s. army suppressed the ghost dance because of settler concerns that it would lead to a new indian uprising. while the cheyenne did not suffer tragedy on the scale of the sioux at wounded knee, porcupine could only perform the dance in secret from 1890 onwards. in 1900 he was imprisoned for attempting to revive the religion. porcupine, like wovoka, preached peace and took no part in the violence associated with the ghost dance elsewhere. he was a chief representing the cheyenne in several treaty councils with the u.s., including leading a delegation to washington. porcupine was born c. 1848 and was raised with the sioux. his father was sioux and his mother was cheyenne. he married a cheyenne and became a member of the cheyenne tribe. it was the normal custom for a husband to live amongst the band of his wife's family, usually in a lodge adjacent to her parents. like virtually all cheyenne young men, porcupine joined a warrior society, in his case, the dog soldiers. at the end of the civil war, the u.s. attempted to persuade the plains indians to live on reservations. a number of simultaneous military expeditions were launched in pursuit of this policy under the overall control of general grant. general winfield scott hancock commanded one such enterprise in west kansas. its chief, but not only, target was the southern cheyenne in the smoky hills region. in april 1867, hancock moved a large force to fort larned and demanded that indian leaders meet him there. the idea was to intimidate the indians with a show of force. he was warned by edward w. wynkoop, the indian agent for the southern cheyenne and arapaho, that this would be seen by the indians as an aggressive act and was inappropriate for peace negotiations. hancock ignored this advice. the indians were wary of approaching the fort. a joint camp of southern cheyenne and oglala sioux was established thirty miles away at pawnee fork. a handful of indians entered the fort, including tall bull, leader of the cheyenne dog soldiers. hancock threatened them with war if they did not agree to his terms, but they responded by returning to their camp. angered that many indian leaders had not met him, hancock declared that if the indians would not come to him, he would go to them and prepared to move his whole force to pawnee fork. the indian agents again warned him that this would be seen as aggression and was not a good idea. the indians attempted to stop hancock approaching the camp by setting fire to the prairie but this failed. outside the camp there was a confrontation with the cheyenne leader roman nose. hancock spoke harshly to roman nose who then told his companion, bull bear, to ride away because he intended to kill hancock in front of his soldiers and did not want bull bear to be killed in the inevitable hail of bullets that would follow. instead bull bear led roman nose away. hancock then ordered the camp to be captured, but on entering, it was found to be deserted. the indians, fearing a repeat of the sand creek massacre, had already left and scattered. hancock ordered george armstrong custer to take the 7th cavalry in pursuit. this was custer's first action in the indian wars. it was not very successful, the scattered indians were hard to follow and when custer stopped at fort hays for forage for his horses he found there was none to be had and he became stuck there. on 19 april hancock ordered the camp at pawnee fork to be destroyed in retaliation and sparked an indian war, unnecessarily so according to many commentators both contemporary and modern. one of the indians being pursued by custer from pawnee fork was the nineteen-year-old porcupine. porcupine fled northward from custer with a companion, red wolf. by the time they reached the union pacific railroad near north platte, nebraska, they had joined a band of cheyenne led by turkey leg and spotted wolf. porcupine had the idea of attempting to stop or damage a train. on 6 august 1867 porcupine and red wolf placed a railroad tie across the track at a point three miles west of plum creek (now lexington) and tied it down with wire removed from the lineside telegraph line. they lit a fire at sunset. two men, pat handerhan and william thompson, were sent out on a handcar to investigate the failed telegraph line. distracted by the fire, they let the handcar hit the obstruction. porcupine and red wolf drove off the men with rifle fire but they were pursued and handerhan was killed. thompson was wounded but played dead, even as he was being scalped, and survived. porcupine and red wolf found two spencer carbines in the handcar. these were breech-loading weapons which they did not understand, being familiar only with muzzle-loading rifles. on discovering that the rifles would swivel apart they discarded them as broken. encouraged by this success, the indians then tried to do some more substantial damage to the track. the rails were unfastened, lifted, bent aside and a more substantial barricade built. late into the night, early 7 august, two freight trains approached. some of the indians came out of hiding and pursued the first train on horseback. they fired at it and even attempted to stop it by lassoing the engine. this did not work, but it did have the effect of causing the train engineer, brooks bower, to apply full throttle to escape the indians. the train hit the damaged track at full speed. bower was thrown through the cab window and died. the fireman, george hendershot, was poised at the open door of the firebox with shovel in hand ready to throw in more coal. he was thrown inside the firebox and burnt to death. the survivors of the train wreck retreated back to the second train, along with thompson, who came out of hiding carrying his own scalp. the train backed up to plum creek station, picked up the residents there, and evacuated them to elm creek. there was a failed attempt to reattach thompson's scalp in omaha and it is now in the public library there. in the morning the train was thoroughly looted and then burned. bolts of calico from the train were tied to the tails of the warrior's ponies so that they unrolled into colourful flags. these were taken back to their camp for the women there. porcupine's actions that day had resulted in the first train derailment by indians. following the indian surrender at the end of the great sioux war of 1876, the cheyennes were forcibly deported to reservations in oklahoma. there they found that the hunting grounds they had been allocated were devoid of the large game they needed to survive, and the supplies promised by the u.s. government failed to arrive, or were stolen by the indian agents. facing starvation, chiefs dull knife and little wolf in 1878 led the northern cheyenne on a fighting journey back to their homeland in montana, more than a thousand miles away, pursued by the u.s. cavalry all the way. porcupine took part in this northern cheyenne exodus. dull knife surrendered at fort robinson in nebraska. his band was imprisoned there and denied food and heating (with temperature well below freezing) for not agreeing to return to oklahoma. nearly half were killed (but not dull knife himself) in a desperate escape from fort robinson. little wolf surrendered in march 1879 at fort keogh in montana. little wolf's band was permitted to stay and dull knife then joined them there. a number of kansas settlers had been killed during the indians' journey north. there were calls to put the whole band of cheyenne on trial as a group, but this had dubious legal standing. as a compromise, the military sent seven indians, wild hog, a war chief of the northern cheyenne elk warrior society, porcupine, and five others (old crow, tangled hair, blacksmith, noisy walker, and strong left hand) for trial in a civilian court for these killings. a number of items taken from homes in kansas had been found in the indians' possession. they were sent to fort leavenworth, kansas at the beginning of 1879 to await trial. they were to be tried in dodge city and were escorted there by lawman bat masterson. it was not an easy journey; large, sometimes unruly, crowds turned out to view the indians. in lawrence, masterson found it necessary to hit the city marshal to keep order. the trial began in dodge city on 24 june. the defence lawyer successfully argued that local prejudice would prevent a fair trial in dodge city and requested the trial be moved to lawrence, a request that was granted. the defence built a case intended to expose the iniquities of the reservation system. they intended to embarrass washington, and had issued subpoenas for, amongst others, general nelson miles, general john pope, and secretary of the interior carl schurz. meanwhile, the prosecution was having problems persuading witnesses to make the long journey to lawrence. when the chief prosecutor failed to turn up on 13 october, all charges were dismissed. the ghost dance religion was founded by its prophet wovoka in nevada, a paiute indian who had a vision on 1 january 1889 during a solar eclipse. in this vision, he was taken up to heaven and given a dance (the ghost dance) to pass on to the indians to ensure their place in heaven. wovoka's religion was heavily influenced by christianity. he predicted that a messiah figure, identified with the christian jesus, would come to earth and resurrect all the indian dead. all the whites would be removed from earth and the buffalo would return. wovoka predicted that this would happen in spring 1891. in the meantime, according to wovoka's preaching, the indians were not to fight the whites, but were to perform the ghost dance. in november 1889 porcupine led a cheyenne mission to visit the arapahoes in wyoming. his companions were grasshopper, and a younger third indian. in wyoming, porcupine repurposed the enterprise and went on to nevada to see wovoka. they stayed over the winter and returned in the spring of 1890. porcupine's report to the tribal council of chiefs took five days to deliver. at the end of that time he was given permission to promulgate wovoka's teaching amongst the tribe. thus, porcupine became the main apostle of the ghost dance amongst the cheyennes. porcupine preached that wovoka was the messiah and a christ figure. porcupine describes the visit to wovoka as a fortuitous side benefit of the visit to the arapahoes. he mentions only the cheyenne delegation as if they came alone. however, james mooney, an ethnologist tasked by the u.s. government with investigating the ghost dance and who travelled far and wide to interview all the principals in the tribes concerned, including wovoka himself, tells a different story. porcupine's delegation was part of a larger, organised mission, perhaps a dozen people, sent out by a conference of chiefs at fort washakie in wyoming with the explicit purpose of obtaining information about the new religion. the mission included delegates from the sioux, cheyenne, arapahoe, and shoshoni. it seems likely that the arapahoe visit was a cover story to make easier obtaining permission from the indian agent to leave the reservation. u.s. soldiers guarding the reservation were under orders to stop anyone from leaving without a permit. porcupine, however, travelled without a permit until he reached fort hall indian reservation in idaho where he was given one by the indian agent there. at fort hall, more shoshoni and bannock indians joined them. the indian agent at pyramid lake indian reservation in nevada reported that the strength of the party was thirty-four as they passed through. porcupine says that all the indians they met after fort hall were already performing the ghost dance, and that many whites (these would be mostly mormons in nevada) were also dancing. the ghost dance religion was not limited to the cheyennes. it spread throughout the plains tribes. settlers living close to reservations became concerned that it would lead to a new indian uprising and called on the army to intervene. indian dances had been made illegal by the indian religious crimes code, 1883, and remained so until 1934. white fear of the movement resulted in confrontation between the army and the sioux and led to the killing of the hunkpapa sioux chief sitting bull and the wounded knee massacre in december 1890. at porcupine's location on the northern cheyenne reservation, reinforcements were sent from fort keogh to the lame deer agency. the army sent sgt. willis rowland, a mixed-blood cheyenne-white scout, to gather intelligence on porcupine's preaching. rowland joined porcupine's church and was baptised into it. rowland disliked the deceitfulness of his mission; "i hated to do this, but it seemed like it was the best way." after three days, he reported back to his superiors that porcupine's preaching was entirely peaceful and that nobody was talking about fighting whites. nevertheless, the ghost dance was stopped by the government. the northern cheyenne sometimes succeeded in holding an illegal ghost dance by convincing soldiers trying to break it up that it was some different dance. some time after the ghost dance was stopped, porcupine moved to the oglala sioux pine ridge indian reservation. the sioux and cheyennes had always been on friendly terms and had been allies in battle before the cheyenne surrender. porcupine himself was half sioux. however, after wounded knee porcupine and sixty others were temporarily moved to the northern cheyenne reservation; many cheyenne were in the army as scouts and it was felt they would not be safe at pine ridge. they became caught in a bureaucratic trap there. porcupine believed that they should have been paid their share of the money from the enforced sale of reservation land in south dakota to the government in 1889. they did not get it because they were no longer on the roll at pine ridge, even though their move was only supposed to be temporary ("a visit" as cheyenne tribal historian john stands in timber puts it). some of them were paid after a wait of a year. the ghost dance religion faded when the messiah and the resurrection of the dead failed to appear as predicted. it did not, however, die completely and a rump remains into the present day. porcupine tried to revive the religion in 1900. indian agent james c. clifford gathered a petition from northern cheyennes demanding that he be imprisoned. porcupine was arrested in october and given hard labour at fort keogh. he was released on 28 february 1901 on promising to behave. in 1918 there was a messianic inspired attempt to organise a revolt on the northern cheyenne reservation. whites at the agency were afraid enough to carry guns at all times and stockpile ammunition. however, the attempt was nipped in the bud with strongly worded threats to the indians. porcupine took no part in this, or any other, messiah-connected attempted rebellions. he remained peaceful throughout the period. porcupine was a chief of the northern cheyenne but never recognised as such by the u.s. government, probably because of his connection to the ghost dance. he was also a powerful medicine man; according to marquis he had more influence than the highest status medicine man in the tribe, the keeper of the sacred tepee. he was involved in four separate treaty councils with the u.s. he said that all four treaties had later been abrogated by the u.s. porcupine was most troubled by the u.s. reneging on the treaty agreement over the black hills after gold was discovered there. the dispute over the black hills was the cause of the 1876 war. porcupine was the spokesman for a cheyenne delegation to washington during the presidency of benjamin harrison (1889–1893). the purpose was to seek reparations for treaty violations. porcupine in his preaching phase, in contrast to the young warrior, was a man of peace. historian thomas b. marquis who met and wrote about porcupine said, porcupine had two sons. both died of tuberculosis, a common disease amongst the cheyenne of the reservation period, for which they had little resistance. porcupine died in 1929. liudmila malofeeva (born 18 may 1988) is a retired russian female volleyball player. she was part of the russia

series aired in prime time from 9 february 1992, first on italia 1 and then on canale 5. the show is characterized from having national and international celebrities as victims. during the years the show was criticized as some of the pranks appeared to be arranged with the victims. several practical jokes, including adriano celentano's, giancarlo giannini's, claudio cecchetto's and alessandro benvenuti's, were never broadcast because the victims did not sign any agreement for the airing. maelonoceras is a late ordovician - early silurian oncocerid found in ontario. the shell is a faintly

april 1955 stockholm) was a sudeten german dissident communist activist who later joined the swedish social democratic party. neurath was a founding member of the communist party of czechoslovakia (german division), becoming party secretary in 1921. he also became a member of the executive committee of the communist international where he supported zinoviev. in june 1929, following the emergence of the new party leadership under klement gottwald, he was expelled from the communist party of czechoslovakia and joined a new parliamentary club called communist party of czechoslovakia

long lost suitcase is the 41st studio album released by welsh singer tom jones, released on 9 october 2015. it is the third in a trilogy of albums, following 2010's "praise & blame" and "spirit in the room" in 2012. like the previous two albums, it was produced by ethan johns. this album comes as a cd in a jewel case with a 16-page booklet featuring rare photos from jones' career. adrian thrills, reviewing the album for the "daily mail", gave it four stars, calling it "a triumphant homage to his musical roots". andre paine, reviewing for the "evening standard" also gave it four stars, stating "at 75, jones’s volcanic vocal still sounds majestic on an album that maintains the artistic rejuvenation of recent years." fiona shepherd in "the scotsman" rated it the same. nathan bevan, reviewing it for walesonline was also positive, while "the guardian"'s dave simpson gave it three stars, calling it "slightly uneven". paddy kehoe, for rté, was less enthusiastic, giving it two stars. the track

crossfit athlete best known for winning the crossfit games in 2013. she has qualified for the crossfit games four additional times: in 2010, 2011, 2015, and in 2016 (she failed to qualify in 2014 due to a poor performance on the handstand walk event at the european regional competition). she finished four of her five appearances in the top 5 overall. briggs lived and trained in miami, usa for the 2015 crossfit season, but now resides in her native england. before she found crossfit in 2009, she competed in amateur-level duathlons, triathlons, and football in the northern premiership league (as a centre midfielder or centre-back). she also worked as a firefighter with west yorkshire fire and rescue service. briggs then took a sabbatical to concentrate on crossfit fulltime. briggs first qualified for the crossfit games in 2010, finishing second at the 2010 europe regional behind soon-to-be twice games champion annie thorisdottir. at the 2010 crossfit games, briggs' highest finish was third place on "pyramid double helen", which she completed in 18:30. the only two women to beat her were the overall second and first place games finishers, annie thorisdottir (17:53) and kristan clever (18:23). briggs finished in 19th place overall. by 2011, briggs was a more developed athlete and improved to 4th overall. briggs earned top 10 event finishes on 7 of the 10 events, including two event wins on "the end 2" and "the end 3". in 2012, briggs was sidelined by a knee injury. she officially withdrew from the competition in march, midway through the crossfit open, the first stage of qualifying for the crossfit games, citing maltracking of her right kneecap which had been an ongoing issue for a couple of years. she later learned she also had a fractured patella. during her year off, briggs changed her approach to training. the head trainer at crossfit 3d, a crossfit gym that briggs attended in the past, described her approach to training in the early years as very high volume metabolic conditioning which resulted in her "smashing herself into the ground." with awareness of her injuries, her coach, steadman, and sports therapist, james jowsey, were able to program workouts that would not cause further damage. as she laid off many workouts that involved her legs, she spent her time developing her upper body gymnastics skills on the pull-up bar, rope, and gymnastics rings, and also opened her own crossfit affiliate, train manchester. in 2013, briggs returned to competition with the drive of an athlete who had been forced onto the sidelines for a year. she won the worldwide open, the europe regional, and crossfit games in carson. it was a decisive victory, though some critics argue that the decisiveness was a consequence of the fact that the two-time champion, annie thorisdottir (2011, 2012), was not able to defend the title that year because of a back injury in the winter, and julie foucher, the previous year's silver medalist, did not compete since she chose to focus on medical school. at the 2013 games, briggs put in performances that would help bolster her nickname of "the engine." on wednesday, athletes completed a half-marathon row of 21,097 meters on an indoor concept 2 rower. briggs finished in one hour and 27 minutes (1:27:47.9). the next spring, briggs won the open yet again but failed to qualify for the games after placing fourth at the 2014 europe regional. briggs finished in 26th place on the maximum distance handstand walk event, going only , early in the competition and even with three event wins and never finishing lower than eighth on any other event, briggs was unable to close the gap between herself and the leading athletes. in a shocking turn of events, briggs became the first reigning individual champion to be eliminated at the regionals. espnw named briggs an "athlete to watch" at the 2015 games, however, briggs had another rough year by injuring her sacroiliac joint midway through the crossfit open qualifying stage, and then breaking her foot prior to the regionals. briggs still managed to earn 2nd overall at the 2015 atlantic regional (having moved to florida during the year) with her broken foot, thereby qualifying for the 2015 crossfit games. at the 2015 games, briggs was able to climb to 4th overall despite the injuries that she had suffered earlier in the season. her best performance was on , in which the athletes completed in the over temperatures in the afternoon. while other athletes, like annie thorisdottir and kara webb, sustained heat related injuries, briggs ran to the finish line in 39 minutes, 10 seconds, seemingly unfazed and more than a minute ahead of the next closest female athlete, alethea boon of new zealand, and quicker than all the male athletes but one, björgvin karl guðmundsson of iceland. eight athletes would not finish within the 1 hour time-cap, including eight-times games competitor rebecca voigt, twice champion annie thorisdottir, and 2013 silver medalist lindsey valenzuela. elections to the french national assembly were held in senegal on 10 november 1946 as part of the wider french elections. two members were elected from the

found in pegmatites, the crystals of scandiobabingtonite are sub-millimeter sized, and are tabular shaped. scandiobabingtonite was the sixth naturally occurring mineral discovered with the rare earth element scandium, and grows around babingtonite, with which it is isostructural, hence the namesake. it is also referred to as scandian babingtonite. the ideal chemical formula for scandiobabingtonite is ca(fe,mn)scsio(oh). scandiobabingtonite is found in association with orthoclase, quartz, light blue albite, stilbite, fluorite, and mica. when found with these minerals, the scandiobabingtonite crystals are emplanted on the surface of the other minerals. it also occurs as growth around green-black prismatic crystals of babingtonite. the samples of scandiobabingtonite that have been discovered have shown that they start out growing from a seed of babingtonite crystal. this is how scandiobabingtonite gets its chemical structure. the starting seed of babingtonite is still present in the center of the resulting crystal and can be detected with optical and chemical studies. scandiobabingtonite is a uniquely rare mineral, as it occurs in very small amounts in few locations around the world. it is one of thirteen naturally occurring minerals where scandium is a dominant member. the other scandium minerals are bazzite, cascandite, hetftetjernite, jervisite, juonniite, kolbeckite, kristiansenite, magbasite, oftedalite, pretulite, thortveitite, and titanowodginite. scandium can also concentrate in other minerals, such as in ferromagnesian minerals, aluminum phosphate minerals, meteoric minerals, and other minerals containing rare earth elements, but it occurs in trace amounts. scandiobabingtonite is a colorless or lightly gray-green colored transparent mineral with a glassy or vitreous luster. it exhibits a hardness of 6 on the mohs hardness scale. scandiobabingtonite occurs as short, prismatic crystals that are slightly elongated on the [001] axis which gives it a tabular or platy shape. its crystals are characterized by the {010}, {001}, {110}, {1-10}, and {101} faces. scandiobabingtonite is brittle and shows perfect cleavage along the {001} and {1-10} planes. the measured density is 3.24 g/cm. scandiobabingtonite is biaxial positive, which means it will refract light along two axes. it exhibits a 2v=64(2)°, strong dispersion with r>v, and displays strong pleochroism with colors ranging from pink (γ') to green(α'). the extinction angle along the (110) is 6°. z:φ=-250°, ρ=47°; y:φ=146°, ρ=75°; x:φ=42°, ρ=47°. scandiobabingtonite is isostructural with babingtonite, and has the same chemical properties as well. it is an inosilicate with 5-periodic single chains. scandium replaces the fe in babingtonite in six-fold coordination. the empirical chemical formula for scandiobabingtonite is (ca,na)(fe,mn)(sc,sn,fe)sio(oh). simplified, the formula is ca(fe,mn)scsio(oh) scandiobabingtonite is in the triclinic crystal system, with space group p1. the unit cell dimensions are a=7.536(2) å, b=11.734(2) å, c=6.748(2) å, α=91.70(2)°, β=93.86(2)°, γ=104.53(2)°. these dimensions are almost identical to those of babingtonite. the difference in dimensions is caused by the replacement of iron with scandium in the fe-centered octahedra. the fe-o distance measures as 2.048 å, while the sc-o distance is 2.092 å. this equates to a slightly larger octahedra in scandiobabingtonite than babingtonite. list of minerals porawagala is most suitable place to observe bandarawela area in sri lanka. it is located 3 km away from the

wheels spinning inside the tire. every set we had today except for one didn’t shake. every set shook, but it’s a completely different kind of thing when the wheel is not tight. we don’t know which one it was we came in so quick it didn’t beat up the wheel enough to give us a real indication of which one it was. i knew we needed to come down pit road. we had a fast car, just never really had good track position and got behind. we didn’t come here to run second or top five we don’t need that we need a win. we had to try to go out there and win and we just got behind.” the fifth caution of the race flew on lap 170 for a single-car wreck in turn 2. clint bowyer got loose, overcorrected and slammed the wall head-on. describing the incident, he said that he had been "following gordon there and i started to catch him back. i went in and he kind of took my line away and i tried to pull down and as soon as my headlight got out and got some air in it, man it turned me.” the race restarted with 89 laps to go. joey logano drove underneath kenseth on the backstretch to take back the lead with 88 laps to go. kenseth didn't allow him to drive away, however, and took back the lead with 81 laps to go. logano passed him back to take the lead again with 80 laps to go. the two of them drag-raced through the tri-oval with kenseth winning the battle with 72 laps to go. martin truex, jr. kicked off the final cycle of pit stops with 54 laps to go. matt kenseth surrendered the lead to make his final pit stop with 53 laps to go and handed the lead to jimmie johnson. he pitted with 52 laps to go and handed the lead to ryan blaney. kevin harvick was tagged for removing equipment from his pit box – the fuel can got stuck in the fuel receptor and slid out of the pit box – and was forced to serve a stop and go penalty. he said after the race that he was "lucky to come out of it as good as we did with our team. we didn't have a great weekend, a lot of things falling on and off, and now we've got to go to talladega and have a good week. all in all, it could have been a lot worse, and everybody kept digging." martin truex jr. was tagged for an uncontrolled tire and was forced to serve a drive-through penalty. after the race, truex said that his team had a "tough day. we were in good shape before the penalty. we fought hard on the car all day got much better right when we got the penalty. we were fast at the end, but not enough time to get back up there." blaney made his stop with 47 laps to go and handed the lead to carl edwards. he pitted with 43 laps to go and handed the lead to paul menard. he pitted with 37 laps to go and the lead cycled back to matt kenseth. the sixth caution of the race flew with 24 laps to go for a single-car wreck in turn 2. in front of race leader matt kenseth, justin allgaier got loose and slammed the wall. jimmie johnson opted not to pit and assumed the lead. the race restarted with 20 laps to go. johnson was no match for kenseth on old tires who passed him with ease for the lead. however, joey logano was hot on his tail in the closing laps. kenseth blocked logano's advance going into turn 3 with six laps to go. coming to five to go, kenseth ran into lap traffic and it allowed logano to close in and kenseth went up the track to block him again. rounding turn 1, logano turned him and send him spinning. this brought out the seventh caution of the race with five to go. after the race, logano said that the incident was "good hard racing. he raced me hard, so i raced him hard back. the fact that we’re the only team that can relax now is going to pay big dividends going into martinsville. to make a lot of these guys nervous going into talladega is part of the strategy." kenseth spoke on the incident saying that it's difficult "to drive a car with the rear tires off the ground. i was moving around the best i could, joey (logano) was a lot tighter, a lot faster on the short run, but we were so much better on the long run. i could still kind of get up to the top and get a run and get around him. we caught those two lapped cars, ‘crazy’ (spotter) told me i was clear and i was, i pulled up in front of him and he just lifted my tires off the ground and he wrecked us." the race restarted with two laps to go. joey logano drove off to score the victory. logano said afterwards that the race "was a fun race. what a great shell/pennzoil ford. i couldn’t be prouder of what this team is doing now…that was good, hard racing. we race each other really hard. i feel like i got fenced twice down the straightaways. he raced me hard so i raced him hard back. it’s just hard racing. that’s the way i race. if i get raced like that i’ll race the same way. i just couldn't be more proud of this team. to be sitting in such a good position going into talladega makes us feel real, real good. the fact that we’re the only team that can relax right now, is gonna pay big dividends once we get to martinsville. everyone is a little bit nervous. our goal is to still win the race. even though we've moved on to the next round, our goal is still to win that race and try to get some guys nervous for next week. that's the kind of strategy of this chase.” following a seventh–place finish, ryan blaney said that it wasn't "a bad run for us. we started off pretty good, we we’re running up front towards the start of the day and we kind of lost the track position a little bit towards the middle of that race. our car kind of went away; some of that was traffic and the other part was kind of handling. “but (the team) did a good job of getting us back where we needed to be, at the end of the race, where it mattered.” after placing 10th in his 20th and final career start at kansas speedway, jeff gordon said that his car was "absolutely horrible. we were absolutely as far off as you could be. i don’t know. the thing qualified amazing and ever since we put it in race trim it just is not comfortable, hasn’t felt good, and we’ve struggled with it. that was one of the hardest top 10s i’ve ever had to go through. i’m proud of the team. they fought hard and that’s why we’re where we’re at. but gosh, that was ugly.” speaking on the incident with five laps to go, matt kenseth – who finished 14th – said that logano "was a little bit tighter on that short run than i was and i couldn’t get away from him. all day we had him pretty good. i still thought i was going to be able to stay in front of him. i saw those lapped cars coming and tried getting a couple of runs off the top there and i was plenty clear, got up in front of him and he just decided to take us out.” he also added that he "pulled up in front of him, and he lifted my tires off the ground and wrecked me. i won't talk to joey. i don't have anything to talk to him about really. i mean, you make decisions every minute behind the wheel. to me, strategically, that doesn't seem like such a great decision for him. but that's how they wanted to win. ... i'm one of the only guys that hasn't been into it yet with joey. i always raced him with a ton of respect. i actually have been one of his biggest fans. i'm not anymore." members of the nascar media gave their take on the incident involving matt kenseth and joey logano. dave moody of the motor racing network, who had the call on the incident for the radio network, said that "sunday’s fireworks were a simple case of two drivers racing aggressively and giving no quarter with an important race on the line" and that it was "what stock car racing is all about; two drivers racing their guts out in pursuit of the checkered flag, with no excuses and no apologies. kenseth did what he had to do to maintain the lead sunday, and logano did what he had to do in response." larry mcreynolds of fox sports said that he didn't "see anything wrong that went on there at the end of the race sunday at kansas. naturally, matt doesn't see it that way and trust me, i totally get it. the man was desperate to get the win to guarantee that he and his team moved onto the next round of the chase." darrell waltrip of fox sports said that he "didn't see anything wrong with what happened. matt needed to win that race to have any chance to advance to the next chase round. true, joey had already punched his ticket to the next round two weeks ago winning at charlotte. sure he could have played it safe, backed off and finished second to matt but why back off? he had a fast race car. the kid is paid to win races for his sponsors, owner and team, plus don't lose sight of this: if he backs off and lets matt win, then he's going to have to face matt and his extremely fast toyota in the next round of the chase. if you have a chance to eliminate a major competitor for the championship, then that's the smart play. simply backing off and letting matt win really isn't a good idea in the big picture. jerry jordan of frontstretch.com said that the actions of logano proved he "is afraid of what the toyota driver is capable of and that he wanted to do all he could to ensure they wouldn’t battle each other in the final race at homestead-miami speedway." nate ryan of nbc sports said that while there's "no alliterative witticism in the nascar vernacular to describe the practice of deliberately impeding another driver’s progress (blocking)," there's "one truism about the maneuver" in that "[i]t comes with consequences. in espn.com's weekly "turn 4" series, five of their motorsports writers answered the question of whether "that joey logano dump of matt kenseth 'quintessential nascar,' as brian france said it was." ricky craven said plainly that while what happened was great, he's "not of the opinion one driver spinning another for the win can be considered 'quintessential nascar.' ricky rudd would have 24 wins associated with his cup career, except a win was taken from him because nascar declared his bump of davey allison on the final lap at sonoma a foul. what we saw from joey and matt may be an example of 'quintessential chase,' but not nascar." ryan mcghee said he doesn't know if he "would go that far," but he "had no problem with it...i think the people that do have a problem with it (at least those who aren't matt kenseth) are swayed more by the names involved than what actually happened. if that had been dale junior instead of logano and kyle busch instead of kenseth, everyone else would be saying what france said." john oreovicz's answer to the question was a simple "yes" and noted that many of the historic moments in nascar did "involve contact and controversy -- the '79 daytona 500, richard petty and david pearson banging their way to the line a few years earlier, or much more recently, brad keselowski's bump and run on jeff gordon at texas last year. dale earnhardt's legend was made by the style of aggressive driving that logano demonstrated on kenseth, and that's the kind of stuff that france and his marketing executives wish would happen a lot more often." bob pockrass differed with oreovicz with a simple "no" and that he considers "quintessential nascar" to be "ricky craven-kurt busch at darlington. logano was blocked a few times and he made a decision to hold his line to force the issue and dump kenseth. he didn't clearly have the position and he didn't make a mistake or lose control of his car. it wasn't out-of-bounds dirty, but it wasn't clean. if the points were reversed and logano had to win to advance, it would have been viewed with much more understanding. as kurt busch said tuesday: 'i'd hate to be logano at this point because you can win one race. you have got five more after that.'" marty smith said "sure" and logano technically "didn't wall kenseth. he put a bumper to him. if matt wins that race, joey has to deal with matt the rest of the way. and matt can win anywhere. if i'm kenseth, there's no way logano wins a championship. but kenseth is nicer than i am. what logano did is fine, as long as he knows he has one coming and doesn't moan about it when kenseth sends him. you heard logano in victory lane at kansas: he said he was walled twice and wasn't going to stand for it. all's fair when the checkers are in the air." nbc covered the race on the television side. rick allen, jeff burton and steve letarte had the call in the booth for the race. dave burns, mike massaro, marty snider and kelli stavast handled pit road on the television side. mrn had the radio call for the race, which was simulcast on sirius xm nascar radio. joe moore, jeff striegle and rusty wallace called the race from the booth when the field was racing down the front stretch. dave moody called the race from a billboard outside turn 2 when the field was racing through turns 1 and 2. mike bagley called the race from a billboard outside turn 3 when the field was racing through turns 3 and 4. alex hayden, winston kelley and steve post handled pit road on the radio side. runnymede sculpture farm is a sculpture

potential clade of araneomorph spiders, uniting two groups that make orb webs. phylogenetic analyses based on morphological characters have generally recovered this clade; analyses based on dna have regularly concluded that the group is not monophyletic. the issue relates to the origin of orb webs: whether they evolved early in the evolutionary history of entelegyne spiders, with many groups subsequently losing the ability to make orb webs, or whether they evolved later, with fewer groups having lost this ability. , the weight of the evidence strongly favours the non-monophyly of "orbiculariae" and hence the early evolution of orb webs, followed by multiple changes and losses. whether spiders that weave true orb webs form a coherent group, and so should be classified together, is a question that has a long history. two groups of spiders that spin orb webs are the uloboridae and the araneidae. although their webs have a very similar overall architecture, the sticky catching threads are created in different ways. uloborid spiders have a cribellum – a flat plate from which a particular kind of silk emerges – and a calamistrum – a structure formed of bristles on the metatarsus of the fourth leg, used to "comb" the cribellate silk into extremely fine strands that are adhesive without having any "glue" present. araneid spiders have silk-producing organs that add fine droplets of a glue-like substance to silk of normal thickness to create viscid silk. (spiders that do not spin orb webs can also be divided into those that produce cribellate silk and those that produce viscid silk.) although cribellate and non-cribellate orb weavers had earlier been placed in the same taxon (from at least 1789), the two kinds of orb weaver were placed in separate taxa after the possession of a cribellum was prioritized over the form of the web. following john blackwall in 1841 and philipp bertkau in 1878, for a long time the majority of araneologists accepted spiders with a cribellum as a coherent taxon, cribellatae. many also held that cribellate and ecribellate spiders had separately evolved orb webs from other kinds of web. by the early 1970s, it had become apparent that cribellate spiders were a paraphyletic group, the cribellum being an ancient feature of araneomorph spiders that had been lost in many descendants, so that grouping spiders together based on the retention of this feature did not produce a monophyletic taxon. this still leaves open questions relating to the origin of the orb web. did it evolve only once, with araneids later losing the cribellum (and hence cribellate silk), or did it evolve separately in uloborids and araneids? if it evolved only once, how early did this happen in the evolutionary history of entelegyne spiders? if late, then uloborids and araneids may form a monophyletic group, orbiculariae. if very early, then uloborids and ananeids may not be closely related, and many more araneoids that do not spin webs would have lost this ability secondarily. in 2014, hormiga and griswold reviewed the phylogeny of orb-weaving spiders, producing a summary based on what they considered to be the nine most comprehensive studies prior to their article. they concluded that there was limited evidence to group the cribellate uloboridae and deinopidae into a single taxon, deinopoidea. (deinopidae spin a small orb web, which they then cut loose and use as a net to catch prey.) there was strong evidence that a large group of ecribellate spiders formed the monophyletic araneoidea. this taxon includes spiders that make orb webs, but also many that do not. at first, there was support for two hypotheses for the relationship between these two groups. hormiga and griswold suggested a cladogram similar to the preferred version of blackledge et al. (2009): this suggests that orb-weaving evolved relatively late in the entelegynes, and that many hunting spiders never had orb-weaving ancestors. an alternative hypothesis, increasingly supported by molecular phylogenetic studies, is that the orbiculariae are paraphyletic (i.e. do not form a good taxon). a 2016 hypothesis for the relationships of the relevant groups is shown below. on this view, the "deinopoidea" are not monophyletic, and certainly do not form a clade with the araneoidea. orb webs evolved earlier, being present in the early entelegynes, and were then lost in more groups, making web evolution more convoluted, with different kinds of non-orb web having evolved separately more than once. although some authors have said that current evidence does not allow a definitive choice between these two hypotheses, others consider that "the long-held paradigm of orbicularian monophyly" has been refuted. further studies have supported this view, or taken it for granted. the

within the software, hardware, and communication systems of automobiles. modern automobiles contain hundreds of on-board computers processing everything from vehicle controls to the infotainment system. these computers, called electronic control units (ecu), communicate with each other through multiple networks and communication protocols including the controller area network (can) for vehicle component communication such as connections between engine and brake control; local interconnect network (lin) for cheaper vehicle component communication such as between door locks and interior lights; media oriented systems transport (most) for infotainment systems such as modern touchscreen and telematics connections; and flexray for high-speed vehicle component communications such as active suspension and active cruise control data synchronization. additional consumer communication systems are also integrated into automobile architectures including bluetooth for wireless device connections, 4g internet hotspots, and vehicle wi-fi. the integration of these various communications and software systems leaves automobiles vulnerable to attack. security researchers have begun demonstrating the multitude of potential attack vectors in modern vehicles, and some real-world exploits have resulted in manufacturers issuing vehicle recalls and software updates to mobile applications. manufacturers, such as john deere, have used computer systems and digital rights management to prevent repairs by the vehicle owners, or by third parties, or the use of aftermarket parts. such limitations have prompted efforts to circumvent these systems, and increased interest in measures such as motor vehicle owners' right to repair act. in 2010, security researchers demonstrated how they could create physical effects and undermine system controls by hacking the ecu. the researchers needed physical access to the ecu and were able to gain full control over any safety or automotive system including disabling the brakes and stopping the engine. in a follow-up research paper published in 2011, researchers demonstrated that physical access is not even necessary. the researchers showed that “remote exploitation is feasible via...mechanics tools, cd players, bluetooth, cellular radio...and wireless communication channels allow long distance vehicle control, location tracking, in-cabin audio exfiltration and theft”. this means that a hacker could gain access to a vehicle's vital control systems through almost anything that interfaces with the automobile's systems. uconnect is fiat chrysler's internet-connected feature which enables owners the ability to control the vehicle's infotainment/navigation system, sync media, and make phone calls. it even integrates with the optional on-board wifi. however, susceptibilities in fiat chrysler’s uconnect system, available on over 1.4 million cars, allows hackers to scan for cars with the system, connect and embed malicious code, and ultimately, commandeer vital vehicle controls like steering and brakes. the onstar remotelink app allows users the ability to utilize onstar capabilities from their android or ios smartphones. the remotelink app can locate, lock and unlock, and even start your vehicle. the flaw in general motors’ onstar remotelink app, while not as extreme as uconnect, allows hackers to impersonate the victim in the eyes of the remotelink app. this means that the hackers can access all of the features of the remotelink app available to the victim including locating, locking and unlocking, and starting the engine. the security researcher samy kamkar has demonstrated a device that intercepts signals from keyless-entry fobs and would allow an attacker to unlock doors and start a car's engine. luz maría pizá núñez (born 1950) is a mexican painter whose work has been recognized with membership in mexico’s salón de la plástica mexicana. during her career, she

(1976), "labertintos del espíritu" at the salón de la plástica mexicana (1995) and resonancia interior, also at the salón de la plástica mexicana. in 2008, she was recognized by conapred for her work with the project "mujer, discapacidad y arte". molla mehmet bey known as molla bey of petrela (d.1806 or 1808) was an ottoman-albanian religious leader and benefactor from tirana. born with the name mehmet, he was a descendant of sulejman pasha bargjini, the ottoman general from nearby mullet who transformed tirana into a developed commercial and religious center. molla bey started the construction of the et'hem bey mosque, a cultural monument of albania, and also a point of reference due to its location in the scanderbeg square, the main square of tirana. the construction year lies between 1791 and 1794. various sources place the start year in 1791, 1793 (1208 in hijri), or 1794, and after molla bey's death his son haxhi etëhem bey mollaj finished it in 1819 or 1821. parliamentary elections were held for the first in the seychelles in october 1948. the seychelles taxpayers and producers association (stpa), which primarily represented the interests of large landowners, won all four seats. constitutional reforms led to the creation of four elected seats in the 12-member legislative council, with the remaining eight seats appointed by the british authorities. however, the right to vote was restricted to citizens over the age of 21 who could write their name, paid income tax on an annual income of sr 3,000 or more, and could prove that they had lived in the seychelles for at least a year. only around 10% of the population were able to register. the four seats were elected from single-member constituencies; praslin and la digue, central mahé, north mahé and south mahé. only one of the four seats, praslin and la digue were contested, with stpa candidates running unopposed in the mahé seats. in praslin and la digue stpa candidate gustave de comarmond was opposed by arthur savy, a former tennis professional and member of the seychelles progressive association. the stpa candidates campaigned on a platform of maintaining seychellois traditions and customs, claiming they were "100 per cent seychellois". they also called for a doctor for anse royale, a produce-stabilisation fund, better french language teaching in schools and reduced taxes. voter turnout in the sole contested seat was 89%. parliamentary elections were held in the seychelles in 1951. the right to vote was granted to all citizens over the age of 21 who could write their name, paid income tax on an annual income of sr 3,000 or more, and could prove that they had lived in the seychelles for at least a year. only around 10% of the population were able to register. all the seats were won by independents and members of the seychelles taxpayers and producers association, who primarily represented the interests of large landowners. pedro cortés y larraz (belchite, zaragoza, 6 july 1712 - zaragoza, 7 july 1787) was archbishop of guatemala between 1767 and 1779 and bishop of tortosa between 1780 and 1786. graduated with a doctorate in spain when he was twenty-nine years old, and later was ordained as priest. moved to the spain possessions in america was consecrated bishop by francisco fabián fuero in puebla de los ángeles. upon taking over the archdiocese of guatemala, began preparing to travel all across his new dominion; he sent letter to all the secular priests ahead of time so they were ready to have a report for him upon his arrival. from this trip, which lasted from november 1768 to august 1770, he wrote "descripción geográfico-moral de la diócesis de goathemala" ("moral and geographic description of the diocese of guatemala"). by 1769, cortés y larraz was so disappointed with the ecclesiastical situation of his new diocese that were presented his resignation, but king carlos iii did not accept it and he had to continue as archbishop. among the problems that he could see were the excessive alcoholism of the people during the liturgical ceremonies and the poor preparation the secular clergy had in most of the parishes -the latter, a result of the regular clergy returning all of their doctrines in 1754 following a king's order and borbon reforms. strong willed and defender of the doctrine orthodoxy was in constant conflict with the spanish authorities and the clergy itself. on 12 june 1773 capitain general martín de mayorga was inaugurated, and alongside cortés y larráz and the regular clergy vicars, were the top authorities in the kingdom of guatemala and would be the main characters in the events that followed the 1773 earthquakes. in may 1773 soft tremors began to be felt, but gradually they were increasing in intensity and on 11 june 1773 an earthquake damaged several houses and buildings; after that soft tremors continued, but on 29 july 1773, day of santa marta de bethania, a catastrophic earthquake occurred. large damages occurred across the city, but not all of it was completely destroyed. in spite of that, captain general martín de mayorga asked the king of spain for permission to move the city to a new location on 21 july 1775. permission was granted on 2 january 1776, and the new location chosen is where the modern guatemala city sits, by then led by captain general matías de gálvez y gallardo. on the other hand, cortés y larraz opposed the move, as he realized that it would represent a loss of both power and revenue for his archdiocese; besides the convents and temples needed to be built again, and he did not have enough money to support that. on 26 november 1777, cayetano francos y monroy was appointed as the new archbishop of guatemala, a difficult task given that cortés y larraz, was totally opposed to the move of his diocese to the new capital of guatemala. initially, francos y monroy decided to postpone the appointment but on 20 november 1778 was pressured by the spanish crown, and therefore had to sail from cádiz in early may 1779. he brought along a large group for support which was carefully chosen as they had a well defined political goal: take control of the guatemalan secular clergy, which was in almost open rebellion. on 7 october 1779 francos y monroy made his public entrance in the new guatemala city escorted by eight knights; the city was barely beginning to be built and a month earlier, cortés y larraz issued a public letter denouncing the arrival of an illegitimate bishop and threatening him with excommunication. francos y monroy, however, took immediate measures, such as naming a new priests for the native town of jocotenango and travelling to the destroyed santiago de los caballeros de guatemala to gather the santa rosa nuns and bring them to the new city. he had set his mind on the move of the saint sculptures for november 1779 and spent a lot of money to finish construction of the carmel and capuchins convents. tired of fighting his successor, cortés y larraz fled and went back to spain in 1779 where he was appointed as bishop of tortosa. he resigned in 1786 and retired to zaragoza, spain, where he died in 1787. parliamentary elections were held in the seychelles in 1953. the right to vote was granted to all citizens over the age of 21 who could write their name, paid income tax on an annual income of sr 3,000 or more, and could prove that they had lived in the seychelles for at least a year. only around 10% of the population were able to register. all the seats were won by independents and members of the seychelles taxpayers and producers association, who primarily represented the interests of large landowners. voter turnout was only 36%. parliamentary elections were held in the seychelles in june 1957. the seychelles taxpayers and producers association (stpa) won three of the four seats. the 13-member legislative council consisted of the governor, six officials (the government secretary, the attorney general, the treasurer and the directors of agriculture, education and medical services), two appointed members and four elected members, elected from single-member constituencies. the right to vote was granted to all citizens over the age of 21 who could write their name, paid income tax on an annual income of sr 3,000 or more, and could prove that they had lived in the seychelles for at least a year. only around 10% of the population were able to register. in two of the four seats, stpa candidates were unopposed; helen stevenson-delhomme in north mahé and harry savy in praslin and la digue. voter turnout in the contested seats was 59%. following the elections, d bailey and e stravens were appointed to the council. holigost (sometimes rendered as holy ghost) was a carrack of the english navy rebuilt for henry v. originally a castillian vessel called santa clara, she was captured c.1413–14. she served until 1422 and later sank at her moorings. her wreck is believed to have been found in the river hamble, hampshire. "holigost" was a carrack, measuring in excess of length and beam. she was measured at 760 tons builder's old measurement. the ship had a crew of about 200 sailors. she also carried up to 260 troops. armament was seven cannon, 102 gads (iron spears), bows and arrows, spears and poleaxes. "holigost" was the second of the four "great ships" commissioned by henry v. she was originally a castillian ship, "santa clara", which was captured in 1413–14 and subsequently rebuilt. "holigost" "joined the royal fleet" on 17 november 1415. she saw action in at least two battles during the hundred years' war. she participated in a naval battle off harfleur in 1416. following repairs to damage received there, she participated in a battle off saint-denis-chef-de-cove in 1417. "holigost" was withdrawn from service in 1422 - the year of henry's death - and laid up in the river hamble, southamptonshire. repairs made in 1423 by davy owen may be the earliest recorded use of a diver in ship repair in england. it is believed that she eventually sank in the hamble due to a lack of maintenance. in 2015, it was announced that it was thought that the wreck of "holigost" lay in the river hamble. the site is close to that of , another of henry's ships. the wreck had been identified on an aerial photograph taken in the 1970s. historic england is taking steps to protect the wreck before it is surveyed. a lack of funding is the reason behind the 40-year delay between the discovery of the wreck and work to survey the vessel beginning. the survey will include the use of dendrochronology, drones, remote sensing and sonar. clement alexander price (october 13, 1945 – november 5, 2014) was an american historian. as the board of governors distinguished service professor of history at rutgers university-newark, price brought his study of the past to bear on contemporary social issues in his adopted hometown of newark, new jersey, and across the nation. he was the founding director of the institute on ethnicity, culture, and the modern experience at rutgers; the vice chair of president barack obama's advisory council on historic preservation; the chair of obama's transition team for the national endowment for the humanities; a member of the scholarly advisory committee of the smithsonian's national museum of african american history and culture; and a trustee of the national trust for historic preservation. he was appointed city of newark historian in early 2014. his service to new jersey included appointments by governors brendan byrne and thomas h. kean to the new jersey state council on the arts, which he served as chair for two terms, and by governor christine todd whitman to the board of the save ellis island foundation, which he also chaired. on november 2, 2014, price succumbed to a catastrophic cerebral hemorrhage while speaking in new brunswick at a rutgers jewish film festival screening of "joachim prinz: i shall not be silent", a film project in which he had participated. rabbi bennett miller shared the podium and recounted price's final words in response to a question about the future of civil rights in the u.s.: "i still have hope." price died on november 5, never having regained consciousness. price was born on october 13, 1945, in washington, d.c., the middle child of james leo price sr., who was employed by the united states department of the treasury, and anna christine (spann) price, a home maker through much of his childhood, and later a domestic worker and professional seamstress. his older brother, james leo price jr., a distinguished school principal (retired), returned to south carolina to raise his family. younger sister jarmila louise price-gaines, a director of music education programs, resides in california. price's parents had both been participants in the great migration of african americans from the american south in the early twentieth century. they evaded jim crow by moving to northern cities in search of better employment and educational opportunities for their children. price felt fortunate to be brought up in northeast washington's brentwood community surrounded by family and friends and the close-knit fellowship of israel metropolitan c.m.e. church. he attended washington's mckinley tech high school, where he was an accomplished distance runner on the school's track team and competed in cross country and mile run events. also, with his brother, he home delivered the major washington newspapers. he earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the university of bridgeport, and received a phd in history at rutgers university-new brunswick. he cited as inspiration and mentors such founding historians of the african american experience as w.e.b. dubois, john hope franklin, august a. meier and sterling stuckey. in 1988, price married mary sue sweeney, now director emerita of the newark museum. price was encouraged to enter the field of african american history by his graduate advisor at the university of bridgeport, bruce m. stave. as a doctoral candidate at rutgers university-new brunswick, price began researching newark's and new jersey's african-american history, and taught for the 1968–69 academic year at the newly opened essex county college. in february 1969, a group of black rutgers university-newark students occupied the campus's conklin hall, demanding increased enrollment of minority students and increased hiring of minority professors. as one result of the university's response to the students' demands, price was hired and began teaching history at rutgers university-newark in the fall semester of 1969. he remained an active member of the history faculty until his death, including serving as director of the graduate program and chair of african and african-american studies. in 2002 he was named rutgers university board of governors distinguished service professor. price's teaching and research focused on african-american history and culture; united states urban and social history; new jersey history; public history; and american race relations. his dissertation, completed in 1975, was a social history of newark's black community in the thirty years after world war i. other writings include: freedom not far distant: a documentary history of afro-americans in new jersey (1980); many voices, many opportunities: cultural pluralism and american arts policy (1994); and the three volume slave culture: a documentary collection of the slave narratives from the federal writers' project. in addition to his career at rutgers university-newark, he was a scholar in residence at the woodrow wilson national fellowship foundation from 2001 to 2002;

and an instructor of history at essex county college in newark from 1968 to 1969. price was a leading authority on newark's history. the class he developed on the topic has been among the most popular at rutgers university-newark. he wrote extensively about the city's history, but also shared it in more direct ways with the public, via regular bus tours of the city and media appearances. "the once and future newark with clement alexander price", produced by rutgers university-newark and broadcast on new jersey network in 2006 has been reissued in 2015 in a special expanded commemorative version. in early 2014, price was named the official historian of newark. he served as chairman of the planning committee for newark's 350th anniversary, which took place in 2016. at the time of his death, price was chair of the newark trust for education, a trustee of the newark public library and of saint benedict's preparatory school, a board member of the geraldine r. dodge foundation, and chair of the geraldine r. dodge poetry festival committee. he had previously served as a trustee of the newark museum, the new jersey historical society, and the new jersey symphony orchestra, and as president of the fund for new jersey. price made public engagement an integral part of his scholarly activity, believing not only that scholarship should be made accessible to a broad american public but that the critical thinking and new ideas it fostered were essential to a more equitable and just development of newark and the nation. historical memory – whether produced by traditional academic scholarship, museums, or public monuments and historic sites – was at its best and most useful when it was most democratic and complicated. together with gloria hopkins buck, marjorie fredericks and others, price was a founding member in 1975 of the newark black film festival, the longest continuously running festival of its kind and widely admired. the 40th anniversary presentation in the summer of 2015 was dedicated to his memory. with artist larry kirkland and landscape designer robert preston, he designed the civil rights garden in atlantic city, new jersey, documenting the history and struggles of african americans. opened in 2002, this public art and history project of the casino reinvestment development authority has been called the most significant public commemoration of the modern civil rights movement in any northern state. he also served on the national trust's advisory committee for the restoration of president lincoln's cottage at the soldiers' home in washington, d.c., which opened in 2008. price founded the institute on ethnicity, culture, and the modern experience in 1997 at rutgers university-newark, an interdisciplinary academic center that, through public partnerships and programming, offers the newark metropolitan area the finest thinkers and artists engaged with key issues of modern life. its motivating belief is in the centrality of creativity and critical thinking to the continued revitalization of greater newark and the nation. the institute is considered the culmination of his life's work, and works with community partners, scholars, and artists to bring the important civic issues in race, culture, and newark into public discourse through public programming. the institute was renamed for price on february 20, 2015 as the clement a. price institute on ethnicity, culture, and the modern experience. the marion thompson wright lecture series is presented by the institute, one of the longest running and considered among the most prestigious black history month observances in the country. it was founded in 1981 by price and giles r. wright, the inaugural director of the afro-american history program at the new jersey historical commission. in 2015, the lecture series celebrated its 35th anniversary with the theme "curating black america", honoring the forthcoming opening of the smithsonian's national museum of african american history and culture in washington, d.c. the 36th annual marion thompson wright lecture series will take place on february 20, 2016 and will explore criminal justice in the african american experience. among the distinguished lecturers in this series have been sterling stuckey, max roach, james farmer, esther rolle, ali mazrui, eric foner, basil davidson and david blight. price was agency lead for the national endowment for the humanities on president barack obama's 2008 transition team. he was appointed twice by president obama as vice chair of the advisory council on historic preservation, and appointed newark city historian in 2014 and as chairman of the 350th anniversary of newark's founding in 1666. price was also a member of the scholarly advisory committee to the smithsonian institution's national museum of african american history and culture; a member of the advisory council for the gilder lehrman institute of american history; a trustee of the national trust for historic preservation; a trustee of the geraldine r. dodge foundation; and former chairman of the save ellis island foundation and the new jersey state council on the arts. some highlights of his significant public service contributions include: price was the recipient of numerous awards for academic and community service, including: appointment as city of newark historian, 2014; the new jersey nets basketball black history month award at the prudential arena in newark, new jersey, february, 2011; the dr. martin luther king jr. leadership award from essex county in february, 2010; a lifetime achievement award from local initiatives support corporation (lisc) new jersey in november, 2008; and new jersey professor of the year by the council for advancement and support of education (case) in 1999. in 2006, he was inducted into the rutgers university hall of distinguished alumni. he held honorary degrees from william paterson university, essex county college, new jersey institute of technology, and drew university. price also received: price was the foremost authority on the black new jersey past by virtue of his freedom not far distant: a documentary history of afro-americans in new jersey (1980), many voices, many opportunities: cultural pluralism and american arts policy (1994) and numerous other scholarly works. these include: bridge of spies: a true story of the cold war is a 2010 nonfiction book by giles whittell. the book documents prisoner exchanges between the united states and the soviet union of their spies during the cold war. the book was first published by broadway books. an audiobook version was subsequently published by isis publishing, being read by jonathan keeble. andrew stuttaford, reviewing the book in "the wall street journal", said while whittell was not comparable to tom wolfe, "bridge of spies" was like wolfe's "the right stuff" "with a peculiarly lethal twist". stuttaford said, "the true stars of mr. whittell's narrative are an extraordinary airplane and the men who flew it," though he felt that the author drew "somewhat heavy-handed parallels" in the lead-up to the iraq war in writing about the cold war period's contrasting intelligence and politics. robert legvold, reviewing for "foreign policy", said, "whittell is a master storyteller, and the story here—of three men seized during the cold war—is better than hollywood's best." legvold said whittell recounted the story's "utterly fascinating elements... in meticulous detail". the reviewer said, "the stakes in both instances may not have been as dramatic as he claims, but the events were emblematic of the cold war's more shadowy and adventurous aspects." michael s. goodman, writing in "history extra", said "bridge of spies" was comparable to the works of ben macintyre and found that while it was "not a new story", it had enough unique detail to make it novel. goodman said, "the book is well researched, enthusiastically and dramatically written, and a joy to read." "the guardian"s sue arnold reviewed the audiobook, "whittell's account of the real-life characters involved in the first cold war spy swap is as gripping and entertaining as any thriller." arnold said, "cold war politics are a machiavellian minefield, but whittell manages to untangle and elucidate it without losing any of the drama of the narrative." while the book shares the same name as the 2015 film that stars tom hanks, the film is not based on whittell's book. the film is actually based in part on the book "strangers on a bridge" by james b. donovan, a lawyer involved with the prisoner exchanges and played by hanks in the film. both the whittell book and the film are based on the same events, though the book focuses on three prisoners that are part of the exchange process, where the film focuses on donovan himself. pace of play is an issue concerning college baseball and professional baseball regarding the length of games. game length in major league baseball (mlb) began increasing, with the 1988 new york yankees being the first team to average over three hours per game. from 2004 through 2014, mlb games had increased from an average of 2.85 hours to 3.13 hours. this was in spite of decreases in scoring, with mlb teams scoring 4.1 runs per game in 2014, down from 5.14 in 2000. in college baseball, the southeastern conference experimented with a 20-second pitch clock during the 2010 season, and the national collegiate athletic association instituted the pitch clock before the 2011 season for when no runners are on base. during the 2014 season, the atlantic league of professional baseball instituted its own changes. these included using a 12-second pitch clock, reducing timeouts and warm-up pitches, and making intentional walks automatic by signalling the umpire, rather than throwing four intentional balls. the arizona fall league began using a pitch clock in 2014 and the double-a and triple-a levels of minor league baseball followed suit in 2015. those levels saw a 12-minute reduction in game times. towards the end of the 2014 season, commissioner of baseball bud selig announced the formation of a committee to examine the issue. john schuerholz chaired the committee, which also included sandy alderson, tony clark, rob manfred, joe torre, and tom werner. manfred, having succeeded selig as the commissioner in 2015, instituted rule changes to mlb before the start of the 2015 mlb season to address pace of play, including having batters remain in the batters box and the installation of time clocks to limit the time spent around commercial breaks. in 2015, mlb had a committee discuss bringing back the bullpen car. prior to the 2017 mlb season, the rules were amended to allow a manager to order an automatic intentional walk. mlb and the mlb players association (mlbpa) discussed the possibility of introducing the pitch clock at the major league level for the 2018 season. mlb opted against imposing it unilaterally, over the opposition of the mlbpa. before the 2018 season, milb took major actions, including adding pitch clocks at all levels, beginning each extra inning with a runner on second base, and restricting the number of mound visits for full-season class a through triple-a teams. also, the arizona diamondbacks of mlb announced they would introduce their first bullpen car in 2018. minor league baseball expanded its pace of play initiatives in 2019 by requiring double-a and triple-a pitchers to face a minimum of three consecutive batters unless the side is retired or the pitcher becomes injured and is unable to continue playing. also, the number of allowed mound visits was reduced: class a (9 visits), double-a (7 visits), and triple-a (5 visits). as an experimental step to accelerate pace of play, mlb implemented 20-second pitch clocks during spring training games in 2019. artemiy artemiev (born 13 january 1966) is a russian composer of electronic and experimental music. since 1988, he has composed music for more than fifty russian feature films, and has contributed to several documentary films and television programs. he is the son of renowned composer edward artemiev, who is most recognized for his collaborations with film director andrei tarkovsky. amateur daddy is a 1932 american drama film directed by john g. blystone and written by frank dolan and doris malloy. the film stars warner baxter, marian nixon, rita la roy, william pawley, lucille powers and david landau. the film was released on april 10, 1932, by fox film corporation. parliamentary elections were held in the seychelles between 12 and 14 august 1963 for the legislative council of seychelles for the first time, the seychelles taxpayers and producers association was challenged by another party, the seychelles islanders united party. a total of 2,187 voters participated in the elections.

dehydrogenase 2-like protein (mthfd2l), also known as bifunctional methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase 2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the "mthfd2l" gene on chromosome 4. this enzyme localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it performs the nadp+-dependent dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase activity as part of the mitochondrial pathway to convert folate to formate. it is associated with fluctuations in cytokine secretion in response to viral infections and vaccines. the "mthfd2l" gene consists of nine exons and is conserved among mammals. this gene encodes a 340-residue protein that is homologous to the mitochondrial bifunctional dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase (mthfd2) and to the n-terminal dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase domains of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial c1-thf synthases (mthfd1 and mthfd1l, respectively). the mthfd2l protein contains a predicted n-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence and four amino acids (lys-93, arg-206, gly-211, and arg-238) necessary for the protein's dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase activity. three classes of mthfd2l rna transcripts have been detected at equal levels in adult human brain and placenta, though their translation into stable proteins in vivo has not been confirmed. mthfd2l is a member of the tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase family. this enzyme is expressed in all adult tissues and localizes to the mitochondria, specifically as a peripheral membrane protein in the mitochondrial matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. within the mitochondria, it participates the conversion of folate to formate as part of the mitochondrial pathway for 1-carbon metabolism. in the final step of this pathway, the nadp+-dependent ch2-thf dehydrogenase/ch+-thf cyclohydrolase activity of bifunctional mthfd2l complements the 10-cho-thf synthetase activity of monofunctional mthfd1l. the formate produced via the mitochondrial pathway can contribute to purine and thymidine synthesis and homocysteine remethylation into methionine, as well as be converted into 1-carbon units to fuel the cytoplasmic pathway of folate metabolism. in a gwas study concerning variations in cytokine responses observed in smallpox vaccine recipients, a number of snps associated with variations in il-1β secretion were identified in or within the vicinity of the "mthfd2l" gene. identification of the genetic elements controlling cytokine secretion in response to viral infection or vaccination can improve next-generation vaccines to provide robust immune protection while avoiding adverse effects. ulhas gandhe (born 5 october 1974) is an indian former first-class cricketer. he is now an umpire and has stood in matches in the 2015–16 ranji trophy. ileana mercedes cabra joglar (born april 28, 1989), better known by the nickname "ile", is a puerto rican singer, composer and vocalist. she began her musical career as a teenager as the sole female singer of calle 13, a group she took part in for 10 years alongside her brothers rené pérez joglar (residente) and eduardo cabra martínez (visitante). her first solo production, entitled 'ilevitable' and launched in june 2016, won a grammy in the category best latin rock, urban or alternative album in 2017, and for it ile was also nominated for the latin grammy awards as "best new artist". throughout her young career, ile has captivated the international press, with shows in puerto rico, the united states and europe. she has recently released her new song 'hate', which will be part of her second solo album. ile is the daughter of flor joglar de gracia, an actress who formed part of the theatre troupe teatro del sesenta. her father, josé cabra gonzález is a creative advertiser and musician. since a very young age, ileana showed great interest in music. she began to sing even while still learning how to speak, phonetically imitating the voices of famous singers or movie soundtracks that appealed to her. during this time she would often sing in private parties and family gatherings. once in josefita monserrate de sellés elementary school, she joined the school choir and the handbell choir headed by evangeline oliver. also, she began to study piano at the puerto rico music conservatory. ileana inherited her voice from her mother and her grandmother, flor amelia de gracia, teacher and composer, who is also featured on the back cover of calle 13's self-titled debut album. at age 16, as a second year high school student, her brother residente picked her up one day after class and asked her to sing "la aguacatona", a song he had written for a demo he was working on with her brother visitante. she began to take private singing lessons with renowned puerto rican soprano hilda ramos and then additional vocal studies with cuban singer gema corredera, member of the group gema y pavel. from that point on, she began to collaborate as vocalist for the new musical project created by her famous brothers. without any expectations of success, "la aguacatona" caught the attention of white lion records, opening the door to what was to become a musical sensation. after recording a second song, "la tribu", she was immediately nicknamed pg-13 by her cousin ian marcel cardozo joglar, since she was under-aged at the time she joined the group and pg-13 is normally used to classify movies that require parental guidance for children under 13. during 2005, she was active in the late-night circuit of shows and presentations in various venues throughout the island, which would help give form and structure to what was to become calle 13. at only 16 years of age, she found herself singing on stage in front of thousands at the coliseo de puerto rico josé miguel agrelot, as part of calle 13's first concert. she chose to interpret "puro teatro", a song previously recorded by la lupe, which is one of her favorite artists. in may 2, 2009, calle 13 performed once again at the coliseo de puerto rico josé miguel agrelot for the release of their third album los de atrás vienen conmigo. "in the heights" playwright lin-manuel miranda was invited to make an appearance after residente had seen his acceptance speech for best original score at the 62nd tony awards. backstage, flor joglar de gracia, mother of ile and residente, revealed to miranda their connection to gilberto concepción de gracia, founder of the puerto rican independence party. miranda and residente have since confirmed their family relation through social media. ile continued traveling with calle 13 during junior year of high school. at that time, she had the opportunity to visit other countries and share the stage with some of her most admired artists, such as gustavo santaolalla, kevin johansen and susana baca. one of her most memorable performances took place when she was 18 and sang at the 8th annual latin grammy awards presentation held at the mandalay bay in las vegas, as part of calle 13's interpretation of "pa’l norte" which opened with pg-13 belting out a powerful solo a cappella. on november 2011, calle 13 opened the gala at the 12th edition of the latin grammy awards with the theme "latinoamérica" performed with a symphony orchestra arrangement by alex berti and conducted by musical director gustavo dudamel. according to latino fox news, pg-13's high notes left everyone in silence. by the end of 2012 she participated in the traditional banco popular tv christmas special which has been produced and transmitted each year since 1993. on this occasion, for the special "hecho con sabor a puerto rico" ileana had an impressive performance singing "la pared" which was described by the diario of ny as "superb" 4 la pared is one of the first successful songs written by puerto rican composer roberto angleró. in 2010 she was invited by kevin johansen as a guest performer during his presentation at the buenos aires national theatre where together they sang "logo" a song included in johansen's repertoire and recording; the nada liniers: live in buenos aires. in 2012, she was chosen by famous boxing champion miguel cotto to sing the puerto rican national anthem during the introduction ceremony prior to his fight against floyd mayweather jr.. her interpretation was widely acclaimed, including by the legendary bob dylan, who in 2015 mentioned her in his musicares person of the year speech: "i was in a boxing match a few years ago watching floyd mayweather fight a boxer from puerto rico and someone sang the puerto rican national anthem. and it was beautiful, it was heartfelt, it was moving". in 2014 she collaborated with gustavo cordera on the theme "estoy real" for the "cordera vivo" production, which was recorded at la trastienda club in buenos aires, argentina. one year later, in 2015, she was invited by jorge drexler to sing on stage the song "olas y arena" by puerto rican composer sylvia rexach during drexler's concert in puerto rico as part of the uruguayan singer's tour. in 2017, she guest sang on "hijos del canãveral", the closing track of her brother's debut solo album. in august 2015, ileana announced to the world that she was changing her artistic name to ile and was working on her first solo album. the recording took place during that entire year under the production of ile and ismael cancel. in may 2016, "ilevitable" was released to the praise of critic and peers. according to npr "the album established her immediately as a first-class interpreter of the classic sounds that flow through latin america." jon pareles of the new york times described it as "a knowingly retro survey of latin music's past, full of romance and a longing that can turn despondent. she sings richly orchestrated boleros, delicate ballads and percussive boogaloo and mambo, without a hint of either irony or naïveté." some of puerto rico's most prominent musicians collaborated on the album: piro rodríguez, charlie sepulveda, bayrex jiménez, eduardo cabra, fofé abreu from circo, louis garcía and the late cheo feliciano in one of his last recordings ever. the first single released was "caníbal" and it was accompanied by a dramatic video directed by argentinian juan manuel costa. the video was described as an "animated frida kahlo painting" and was positively reviewed. her second single and video, "te quiero con bugalú," was released on july 7. also in july 2016, ile embarked on her first tour with her new band, performing the songs from "ilevitable". on july 7, she performed at the highline ballroom as part of the latin alternative music conference official showcase. july 8 she performed her first solo show outside of puerto rico—live at sob's, also in new york. later that month she participated in the nuevofest in philadelphia and in the millennium park summer series in chicago. august 4 ile performed at the lincoln center "out of doors" series, presented and recorded by npr. in september 2016, the recording academy nominated ile for her first latin grammy as best new artist. in february 2017, "ilevitable" won a grammy award for best latin rock, urban or alternative album. a song, , (in english: sharpening the knives) with lyrics by bad bunny, residente, and ile, was released during the protests. yeshwant barde (born 15 february 1973) is an indian former first-class cricketer. he is now an umpire and has stood in matches in the 2015–16 ranji trophy. the centaure was the name ship of

songs "birthday wish" and "meet you there". drummer rob lebourdais was in a cover band named lower wolves while in college. damon hennessey was fan who would often go to lower wolves shows and

addition of bassist graham mcculloch, formerly of negative approach and the meatmen, the band released a 7" single featuring the tracks "birthday wish" and "in a box", both of which would later be re-recorded for their debut album. the inclusion of "birthday wish" on a new music seminar 1992 sampler cassette got the then-unsigned band an early mention in billboard magazine. in september 1994, the band released "use your appetite for spaghetti", an ep including their soon-to-be signature song "meet you there" and a cover of the association's "never my love". soon after, the band signed an

on valentine's day of 1995. the album includes "teenage jesus", a song originally written by the wolves, but not included on that band's sole release. the band relocated to marion, ny and toured with soul asylum and sponge. in december 1995, the band was dropped by columbia records and disbanded soon after. the band regrouped in 1997, but in an effort to start fresh, changed the name to hundred watt halo. after only a few shows, the band reverted to its original name. over the next few years, mother may i continued to do occasional shows while writing material for their second album. original bassist graham mcculloch rejoined during this time. a sophomore album titled "33 1/3" was released in 1999 on sam records, a small label from baltimore, maryland. the album includes a re-recording of their 1994 holiday single "breaking up at x-mas". in addition to gigging with mother may i in support of their second album in 2000, both hennessey and lebourdais contributed to dana cerick's album "my heart you break it you buy it", with hennessey performing guitar, piano and bass, and lebourdais performing drums, percussion and background vocals. hennessey also provided vocals for the alternative country band red star brigade's album "telescope". by 2001 the band was dormant, with frontman damon hennessey having relocated to chicago, illinois. an album of old recordings,

twenty-five years at two different locations in london's west end. the club's purpose was to provide "home-style service" for the thousands of american airmen based in the united kingdom and us servicemen of all branches who might be passing through. the first location opened after the second world war in mayfair. in 1959 the douglas house was relocated to lancaster gate, near hyde park. in the early 1960s, its nightclub served as a springboard for the budding career of a nascent london band called the detours, that later went on to greater fame as the who. when the club closed in 1970, the property was sold to a private firm. the original douglas house, which opened either during or after the second world war, occupied the former guards club building at 41–43 brook street in mayfair. the second douglas house was located at 66 lancaster gate, w2, in the bayswater/hyde park district of london, one block north of hyde park and kensington gardens and the actual lancaster gate on bayswater road. the facilities of the first douglas house included volleyball, handball, and badminton courts and evening cabarets and dances. the second douglas house, on lancaster gate, had 110 low-cost hotel rooms for families as well as singles, a restaurant, nightclub, soda bar, four-chair barber shop, tv lounge, bureau de change, and a newsstand that sold american periodicals. one former serviceman remembered that the restaurant, which "specialized in steaks, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken wings, ham, roasts, and baked and fried chicken," was "the best place [in london] for american food." the first douglas house opened in the former guards club on brook street, w1, either during or immediately after the second world war as a leave centre for us servicemen. the building that housed the second club was originally a block of white stuccoed flats or townshouses built in the victorian era as part of a bayswater area real estate development. after the air force acquired the property, the douglas house began operating on 2 may 1959. it was jointly named for air force secretary james h. douglas, jr. and lewis williams douglas, a former us ambassador to great britain. in 1960, in honour of the marriage of princess margaret and anthony armstrong jones, the club attracted attention by offering free dinners on the royal wedding day, 6 may, to any serviceman named tony who had a wife named margaret. that same year, the douglas house sponsored an independence day celebration in battersea gardens that attracted thousands of american servicemen and their families. in november 1960 the club hosted an all-night presidential election watch party. in late 1962 a five-piece london band called the detours played several dates at the douglas house nightclub. later, after changing their name to the who, the group went on to become of one great britain's most popular and successful rock bands. on 12 june 1963, country and western singer jim reeves also performed at the douglas house. in 1970 the douglas house was sold by druce and company to adda hotels, which later remodelled the property and then reopened it as the 188-room full-service charles dickens hotel. in 1999, the property was acquired by ryan hotels for £16.9 million. following further remodelling, it was operated as the hyde park gresham hotel until 2007 when it became the park inn hotel. presently, the property is known as the lancaster gate hotel (not to be confused with the nearby lancaster, london). a blue plaque, attached to the leinster terrace end of the building in 1977, commemorates american author bret harte, who resided and died at 74 lancaster gate in 1902. yolanda quijano is a mexican painter and sculptor whose work has been recognized with membership in the salón de la plástica mexicana. she was born in the state of yucatán, but later in life moved to cuernavaca, morelos, where she still lives. when she was a girl she was interesting in creating things. at first she wanted to be an inventor, but an accident which burned her convinced her to go in another direction, without losing her interest in science, but instead went into medicine, which she studied in college. after marrying, she stopped working to become a housewife, becoming the mother of future artists adriano silva pantoja and alejandro quijano. this gave to her time to begin painting, starting by teaching herself, drawing what was around her. later she took a class and friends urged her to study more formally at la escuela de pintura y escultura “la esmeralda,” studying there from 1959 to 1961. during her career, she has also been active in cultural organizations such as the salón de la plástica mexicana, the movimiento pictórico mexicano, the sociedad mexicana de arte plástica, the sociedad cultural sor juana inés de la cruz, summa de talentos and the movimiento nacional de mujeres. her work has been shown in over fifty collective exhibitions and she has had eleven individual shows, including those at the museo de arte contemporáneo (unam), ateneo de yucatán, the museo de la ciudad de toluca and the otumba museum. her work has been recognized with a number of awards including the josé guadalupe posada (injuve) award in 1966, the painting prize of the secretary of the navy in 1967, a diploma of merit from the instituto mexicano de café in 1976, woman of the decade in mexico (1970-1980), honorific mention at the salon de escultura of the salón de la plástica mexicana (1986) and the sor juana de inés prize. she is stated as saying that “everything is magic. life without magic is not life.” her work has been influenced by movements such as magical realism, abstract expressionism and surrealism. the feminine figure is always present in her work, and appear as mythical creatures such as mermaids, or as angels or historical figures, especially sor juana inés de la cruz, whom she admires greatly. the republican people's party election campaign of june 2015 was the election campaign of the republican people's party (chp), the main opposition political party in turkey. the campaign, which was mainly centred on the slogan "yaşanacak bir türkiye" (a liveable turkey), was for the june 2015 general election. before the election, the chp had signed a deal with the american election strategy firm beneson strategy group to assist with the campaign. this was the second general election contested by the party's leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu, who was first elected leader in 2010. the chp's performance in elections since then have been subject to criticism by some party members, especially following the 2014 local elections and the 2014 presidential election. however, kılıçdaroğlu survived a leadership challenge in september 2014 and led the party into the election amid a party split with the newly formed anatolia party (anapar). the campaign, similar to most turkish political campaigns, centred on mass electoral rallies throughout different provinces of turkey, with key manifesto pledges being to raise the minimum wage and to re-open the suppressed investigations into government corruption that began in december 2013. in late may, the party announced a project to build a megacity in the centre of turkey to act as a centre for international trade and commerce named merkez türkiye, seen to be a rival 'crazy project' to the governing justice and development party's "kanal istanbul" project. for the first time in the party's history, the campaign also had an overseas component, since this was the first general election in which turkish expats could vote from consulates in their respective countries of residence. on 7 june 2015, the chp maintained their position as the second largest party, losing to the akp by almost 16 percentage points. the party won 11.5 million votes (24.95%) and finished with 132 elected members of parliament, a decrease of 3 since the 2011 general election. the party also suffered a decrease of 1.03% compared to their 2011 result, which was attributed to chp voters voting tactically for the peoples' democratic party (hdp) to ensure that they surpassed the 10% election threshold. no opinion poll (apart from one dubious poll released in march 2014) showed the chp ahead of the akp between 2011 and 2015. the party leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu stated that his party would lead the next government if they won 35% of the vote. this indicates a 9% rise since the 2011 general election. the loss of the chp's presidential candidate ekmeleddin i̇hsanoğlu in the 2014 presidential election resulted in several senior party members losing confidence in the leadership of kemal kılıçdaroğlu, forcing him to call a leadership election. the party's performance in the 2014 local elections also drew speculation that kılıçdaroğlu would resign after the party lost control of its stronghold antalya and failed to win in ankara or i̇stanbul. in the extraordinary convention held on 8 september 2014, kılıçdaroğlu ran for re-election. two other candidates, former parliamentary group leader muharrem i̇nce and a former kars parliamentary candidate şahmar dalmış declared their candidacy for the party leadership. dalmış was unable to contest the election since he failed to secure any nominations. opinion polls showed that kılıçdaroğlu was significantly more popular in south-eastern provinces, while i̇nce maintained more support throughout the west of the country. the delegationary system resulted in kılıçdaroğlu winning comfortably with 64.1% of the delegates' vote, despite opinion polls showing that i̇nce was more popular with the party's voters. kılıçdaroğlu had initially been endorsed for the leadership by 84.2% of the delegates while i̇nce received the remaining 15.8% of the nominations, which was just 0.8% more than necessary to be eligible to run for election. in the leadership election, i̇nce won 35.9% and immediately conceded defeat. "anadolu'nun kemal'i" was a short documentary about the party leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu, which was released on "youtube" on 28 march 2015. at approximately 22 minutes, the documentary was prepared by rıdvan akar and documents kılıçdaroğlu's early life and career before joining politics. it also contains exclusive interviews with individuals who are close to kılıçdaroğlu, including his brothers, former colleagues, wife and children. "anadolu'nun kemal'i" translates to 'anatolia's kemal'. the merkez türkiye (english: "centre turkey", "hub turkey" or "central turkey") project is a proposal for a planned megacity put forward by turkey's main opposition republican people's party (chp) on 21 may 2015, as part of their june 2015 general election campaign. the project plans to utilise turkey's strategic geographical positioning to establish a centre for global trade and commerce in central anatolia. it was branded as turkey's 'economic empowerment project' "(ekonomi yükseliş projesi)" and was nicknamed 'the project of the century' "(yüzyılın projesi)". the proposal was announced and made public on 21 may 2015 by the republican people's party (chp), which nicknamed it the 'project of the century' and released a 7-minute video on "youtube" containing details about the proposal. the project was seen as an attempt by the chp to portray itself as a strong alternative to the governing justice and development party (akp) on infrastructure policy, since the akp has drawn strong support in the past for its investment in new roads, airports and planned infrastructure projects such as kanal istanbul. announced 17 days before the june 2015 general election, the project did not show a significant impact in the polls, with the chp continuing to trail the akp at 25-27%. key individuals who have applied to become chp parliamentary candidates have included the president of the turkish bars association metin feyzioğlu and the head of the journalists' association atilla serter. both have applied to become candidates in i̇zmir's second electoral district. the leader of the rize anatolian school family union osman erdoğan, a relative of recep tayyip erdoğan, defected from the akp to the chp in early 2015. over 150 public sector workers have allegedly resigned in order to seek candidacy from the chp, though many have reportedly withdrawn their resignations due to a lack of endorsement from chp central offices. candidates will be chosen either through preliminary elections or by the party leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu. the party leader will select a total of 27 candidates; 15 from i̇stanbul, 6 each from ankara and i̇zmir and 1 each from bursa, eskişehir, gaziantep, adana, mersin, muğla, manisa, denizli and aydın. in i̇stanbul, kılıçdaroğlu will select five candidates from each electoral subdistrict for a total of 15. the party's spokesman haluk koç announced the fees for application to be ₺7,500 for those wishing to apply for candidacy through selection by the leadership. in order to stand in preliminary elections that were held in 51 provinces, the fees were ₺5,000 for men and ₺2,500 for women and disabled people. candidate applications ended on 2 march 2015 with 2,822 applications. the first nomination primaries were held in zonguldak, mersin, malatya and adıyaman on the same day. most nomination primaries were held towards the end of march, with kılıçdaroğlu himself securing his nomination in i̇zmir's 2nd electoral district. former party leader deniz baykal contested the preliminary elections in antalya, though notably failed come first. mustafa sarıgül came 9th in the i̇stanbul 2nd electoral district election, failing even to win in the district of şişli where he had served as mayor between 1999 and 2014. chp supporters in trabzon and ardahan protested the lack of preliminary elections happening in their provinces. frustrated youth wing members occupied the chp provincial headquarters in trabzon, after which it was decided to hold preliminary elections there instead. turnout in i̇zmir was 55%, though turnouts were considerably higher in other provinces such as isparta, where 74% of chp members voted. candidates who applied for selection by the party leadership were chosen in early april. key candidates such as kamer genç, hüseyin aygün and umut oran failed to make the party lists. a female armenian candidate and a romani candidate were both amongst the chp lists, with the potential to become the first female armenian and romani mp in the history of the turkish republic. a chp i̇stanbul mp who failed to secure renomination, faik tunay, claimed that he would make revelations about his party in a press conference. şafak pavey, who initially did not seek renomination, was persuaded to stand again as a chp candidate and was selected as the chp's first candidate in i̇stanbul's 1st electoral district. the chp has expressed interest in negotiating with the left-wing hdp as well as other left-wing parties such as the labour party (emep) and the freedom and solidarity party (ödp). despite this, chp leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu identified the hdp as a threat to the party's support base during a central executive committee meeting on 29 january and has sought to take 'measures' against the hdp. the ödp has ruled out negotiating with the chp while the emep leader selma gürkan has stressed the importance of doing so. despite key hdp leaders being opposed to talks with the chp, the party's deputy leader sezgin tanrıkulu is allegedly engaged in closed negotiations with the hdp so that the talks do not generate controversy within the party's parliamentary group or voters. several party members have resigned or openly criticised the chp for seeking an alliance with the hdp. workers' party leader doğu perinçek claimed that the akp had 'left' the terrorist group pkk in the 'lap of the chp' in the lead-up to elections. as part of this potential electoral strategy, candidacies would be offered to the mother of ali i̇smail korkmaz and the father of berkin elvan, both of whom were killed by government forces during the 2013 gezi park protests. controversy has risen over alleged links between the chp and the exiled cleric fethullah gülen, who was formerly an akp ally who withdrew support from erdoğan in 2013. amid allegations that gülen had considered the chp as a possible means of maintaining political influence in turkey despite staunch differences in ideology, the chp has come under increasing fire by the government and its own supporters for alleged collaborations with gülen, who was once a fierce critic of the chp. i̇zmir mp birgül ayman güler resigned from the chp in january 2015, accusing the chp of collaborating with gülen during the 2014 local elections. in february, chp deputy leader sezgin tanrıkulu applied to the ministry of justice for a permit to visit hidayet karaca in silivri prison. karaca, who is the head of the pro-gülen samanyolu tv, was taken into custody in 2014 for allegedly establishing a terrorist organisation. the party has also supported bank asya, a pro-gülen bank that the akp government attempted to shut down in 2014. in march 2015, a document allegedly regarding a closure case against the republican people's party was leaked online, causing many opposition politicians to accuse the akp of attempting to eliminate competition through anti-democratic practices. the party's leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu confirmed the claims, stating that he had known about the preparations for a closure case for some time. according to kılıçdaroğlu, the case would involve the printing of a controversial book about turkey's president mustafa kemal atatürk by the akp, which will be found illegal by the courts and lead to the closure of the chp since the party itself was founded by atatürk. akp leader ahmet davutoğlu denied the claims and called for kılıçdaroğlu to meet with him to put forward a constitutional amendment that would make it impossible for a political party to be shut down by the courts. this led to speculation that the closure case threat was in fact an attempt by the akp to amend the constitution and avoid any closure cases against themselves in the future, having narrowly survived one in 2008 and an earlier case in 2001. in a document named the 'vision of justice, freedom and development', the chp have outlined their main policies to guarantee workers' rights by removing the controversial 'taşeron' system and bring about social democracy. in addition, the party has aimed at doubling welfare benefits while also increasing the social welfare of ten million retired citizens. furthermore, the party will aim to liberalise the education system while also targeting child labour and growing unemployment. a commitment has also been made to preserve the separation of powers within the state as opposed to an 'elected monarchy' which the party accuse the akp of trying to establish. party leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu presented a four-point pledge, signed by a notary, that committed to giving bonuses to pensioners during eid al-fitr and eid al-adha. he claimed that these arrangements would remain for every year that he is prime minister and that he would resign as prime minister and party leader if he did not meet his pledge. party leader kemal kılıçdaroğlu accused ahmet davutoğlu of not knowing anything about new legislation, arguing that they were handed down to him by his superiors. he accused the akp of treating voters like 'second class citizens' and called the chp a 'second home' for voters. the chp planned 50 electoral rallies throughout turkey in what kılıçdaroğlu styled as a 'meeting marathon' "(miting maratonu)". during visits to different provinces, kılıçdaroğlu is also due to make unplanned visits to town centres and other public places to meet with voters directly. special measures were taken for people with disabilities, with the party accompanying its televised electoral rallies with sign language. the chp's inaugural electoral rally was held on 11 april in the kartal district of i̇stanbul. the rally was styled as the 'national applause rally' "(milletçe alkışlıyoruz mitingi)". during the rally, kılıçdaroğlu appeared to unveil a new slogan, 'do not be afraid, do not give up, do not cower' "(korkmayın, yılmayın, sinmeyin)". space icon is a collaborative album by artemiy

1889. she was built by laird brothers in birkenhead as one of a trio of new ships for the great western railway as a twin-screw steamer for the channel island services. the other ships were tss gazelle and tss lynx. the new steamer was launched on 4 may 1889 and named by miss maciver, daughter of mr. david maciver of woodslee, one of the directors of the company. she made her inaugural voyage between weymouth and the channel islands on 17 july 1889. in 1913 she was sold to a greek owner and renamed "antromitos". she was broken up in italy in 1933 kanka or kaňka may refer to wood

zürich ag was a swiss company operating the maritime cargo ships "adele" and "amelia", and a small fleet of rhein river ships between 1952 and 1996. not to be confused with the company of the same name that was established after the shipping company was deleted from the commercial registers. in winter 1943 gottlieb duttweiler and the migros-genossenschafts-bund, zürich, withdrew from the shipping company maritime suisse s.a. originally duttweiler planned to establish the merchant marine of switzerland during world war ii, nevertheless, the creation a shipping company with initially three victory and three liberty ships, sailing on a regular liner service between the usa and the mediterranean sea, never was realized. the shipping company "reederei zürich ag" was founded on 26 july 1951 respectively on 3 august 1951, on initiative of duttweiler respectively migros-genossenschafts-bund (mgb), together with his friend, ernst göhner, a construction entrepreneur from zürich. the share capital amounted to 3,5 mio. chf, it was registered at limmatstrasse 152, zürich, at the same address as the mgb. gottlieb duttweiler was its president, göhner the vice-president, heinrich rengel of the mgb-administration and oskar meier completed the board. now two fast freighters were ordered from the shipyard h. c. stülcken, hamburg: "adele", named after duttweiler's wife adele duttweiler, and "amelia", named after göner's wife amelia göhner. each unit was valued to 5,0 mio. dm without the main engines which were ordered separately from gebrüder sulzer, winterthur, for a total price of 3,75 mio. chf. the swiss government financed 75% of the building costs under the terms, that during a crisis situation, the vessels would be immediately put at the government's disposal. some of the swiss parliamentarians, but also swiss news papers were disturbed about the english prefix sun in the name of a swiss ship, and other were indignant with the charterers. in february 1966 the time charter of sunadele with saguenay was terminated and the ship resumed its original name adele until she was sold in november of the same year. "sunamelia" remained in the saguenay charter until 31 december 1968 and was then also renamed amelia sailing for more than one year until she was sold in february 1970. the company expected larger repairs during the coming class renewal, therefore it was decided to sell the two only maritime ships. the ocean going ships were not replaced anymore, therefore the era of ocean shipping ended. in 1984 there were still 16 rhein units with a carrying capacity of 26,000 tonnes, managed by the then rheinreederei zürich ag which may be established around april 1964. in 1984 the mgb obtained the share majority of the financially troubled schweizerische reederei & neptun ag (srn); on 1 march 1986 a common operating organisation for the two companies, reederei zürich ag and srn was initiated to run the rhein river ships of two fleets in common. reederei zürich ag was deleted on 30 september 1996 from the commercial registry, and on 21 february 2000 the srn was sold. extensible data notation, abbreviated as edn (pronounced eed-n), is a data format. it is similar to json, though has more base types, and support for user defined value types. it is a subset of clojure. the black slimehead ("hoplostethus cadenati") is a member of the order beryciformes. it is found along the coast of northwest africa from cape verde down to south africa. it typically lives near the ocean floor deep, but can be found up ranging from deep. it can reach lengths of up to . daniel "dan" barker (born 30 january 1987) is a british virgin islands footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. born in oxford, barker was a yeovil town youth graduate before being promoted to the main squad in 2006, being assigned the 23 shirt. he was released in 2007, after a spell on loan at tiverton town. barker also represented wincanton town for a period between 2011 and 2014. barker made his first appearance for the british virgin islands national football team on 21 september 2014, starting in a 0–6 friendly loss against st. vincent and the grenadines. great partition (in swedish; "storskiftet", in finnish; "isojako") was an agricultural land reform in swedish empire. it was a reform supported by the government with the purpose of shifting the land of the village communities, from the "solskifte", where every farmer owned several pieces of land split about the village, to a new system, were every farmer owned a connected piece of farmland. the purpose was to increase profit. this was the greatest land reform in swedish history. the shift begun in 1749 by the initiative of jacob faggot, and in 1757 a regulation was issued to given the reform a set organization. initially, the request to start a reform of a peasant community demanded consensus, but in the regulation of 1757, a village could be shifted upon the request of only one farmer. the reform greatly changed the rural life. according to the old rules, "solskifte", the farmers of a village all had equal share in the land owned by the village collectively, and the land belonging to their farm were split around the area. this made the land belonging to each farm hard to access and work, as it was spread with long distances, but it also secured a greater social justice, as everyone had both bad and good land in their possession. the result of the reform was that less, but connected, land belonged to each farm. this made it easier to use, but also lessened the standard of living for those being allotted bad land. the reform was slow, however, and new reform laws were introduced: the radical "enskiftet" of 1803-07 by initiative of rutger macklean signified the partition of the traditional villages in to separate farms, while the "laga skiftet" of 1827 was a more mild reform with better consideration for local necessities. the 11th pennsylvania cavalry (108th volunteers) was a cavalry regiment that served in the union army during the american civil war. the 11th pennsylvania cavalry was organized at philadelphia, pennsylvania as an independent regiment named "harlan's light cavalry" august through october 1861. the regiment was accepted for state and federal service as the "108th volunteers" and its designation changed to the 13th pennsylvania cavalry on november 13, 1861. it mustered in for three years service under the command of colonel josiah harlan. the regiment was attached to department of virginia to july 1862. unattached, division at suffolk, vii corps, department of virginia, to july 1863. u.s. forces, norfolk and portsmouth, virginia, department of virginia and north carolina, to october 1863. cavalry brigade, portsmouth, virginia, department of virginia and north carolina, to april 1864. 2nd brigade, cavalry division, department of virginia and north carolina, to january 1865. 2nd brigade, cavalry division, department of virginia, to august 1865. the 11th pennsylvania cavalry mustered out on august 13, 1865 at richmond, virginia. moved to washington, d.c., october 14, 1861. at camp palmer, near ball's cross roads, october 16-november 17. duty at camp hamilton, virginia, until may 1862. reconnaissance to big bethel january 3. moved to portsmouth may 15.

both generally as whole systems as well as specifically through the investigation of key components of these problems. this has included research on the underlying motivational processes involved, identity formation and change under these conditions, the role moral emotions play in sustaining such conflicts, and differences in the complexity of the dynamics between more and less destructive forms of conflict. this work culminated into the book, "the five percent: finding solutions to (seemingly) impossible conflicts." in 2015, morton deutsch conflict resolution award from the american psychological association, division 48: society for the study of peace, conflict, and violence. in 2000, he cpr institute for dispute resolution book prize for excellence for the handbook of conflict resolution: theory and practice edited by morton deutsch & peter t. coleman. 2003, coleman recipient of the first early career award from the american psychological association, division 48: society for the study of peace, conflict, and violence. he is also founding board member of the gbowee peace foundation usa and a founding member of the united nations mediation support unit academic advisory council, at undpa. coleman currently serves on the editorial boards of peace and conflict: journal of peace psychology and conflict resolution quarterly, coleman, p. t. and ferguson, r.

"the new nation" stood in marked contrast to the somewhat apolitical editorial line of "the nationalist," which limited itself to a more abstract and philosophical perspective. opinion and news relating to contemporary political issues dominated the pages of the new small-format 16-page weekly, which was visually similar to the venerable liberal weekly "the nation." although it was designed to reach and appeal to a large general audience, "the new nation" was unsuccessful in gaining a mass readership, with the publication probably never exceeding 8,000 copies in circulation. the relative lack of success of the publication was not for the lack of bellamy's trying. the novelist abandoned his literary work to dedicate himself to contemporary issues and practical politics and "threw himself into the work of inspiring in others the faith that was in him," mason green later recalled, adding that "the man of letters was now a man of action." bellamy continue to reside in his small hometown of chicopee falls, making the commute to boston each week to work on the newspaper, which occupied his hours from wednesday through saturday. bellamy composed editorials for the paper and came out of his temperamental isolation to deliver short political speeches and attend meetings in support of the nationalist political movement. the early 1890s saw the emergence of a new political party, the people's party, commonly known as "the populists," which put forward a radical reform agenda against monopoly and advancing an agenda appealing to the practical needs of american farmers. discouraged by the "old parties" of the nation, the nationalists were strongly supportive of those pushing forward the idea of such a new political organization and lent them support in the pages of "the new nation" from 1890. the nationalists also directly participated in the organizational convention of the new political party held in st. louis in 1892. bellamy and "the new nation" attempted to advance a perspective that was both friendly and aloof from the new party, declaring to his adherents that "nationalism is a movement and not a party" and that the role of the nationalists was to influence a broad spectrum of reform organizations. despite these efforts, severe attenuation of nationalism as an independent political movement followed with local bellamy clubs being rapidly supplanted by local units of the nascent political reform party. the economic panic of 1893 put additional stress on the movement, reducing organizational strength and putting "the new nation" under financial strain. with his finances dwindling and beginning to suffer from the tuberculosis which would eventually kill him, bellamy suspended publication of "the new nation" in 1894. he also wanted to concentrate upon writing a new political novel to carry forward the story of his protagonist in "looking backward," a book published in 1897 as "equality." bellamy would die in may 1898, at the age of 48, shortly after publication of his final novel. the dort, or dort or dordrecht: the dort packet-boat from rotterdam becalmed is an 1818 painting by j m w turner, based on drawings made by him in mid september 1817. it shows a view of the harbour of dordrecht. it is the finest example of the influence of dutch marine painting on turner's work. it was exhibited at the royal academy in 1818, where it was described by "the morning chronicle" as "one of the most magnificent pictures ever exhibited, and does honour to the age". in 1832, john constable wrote of the picture, "i remember most of turner's early works; amongst them one of singular intricacy and beauty; it was a canal with numerous boats making thousands of beautiful shapes, and i think the most complete work of a genius i ever saw". it was purchased by walter fawkes for 500 guineas at the request of his son, and hung in the drawing room at farnley hall until it was bought by paul mellon in 1966. it was then donated to the yale center for british art upon the founding of the centre. juho haapoja (born 22 october 1980) is a finnish former professional boxer who competed from 2006 to 2017, and held the european union cruiserweight title twice between 2011 and 2017. haapoja made his professional debut on 8 april 2006, losing a four-round points decision to remigijus ziausys, who also debuted. a ten-round split draw against jari markkanen on 16 march 2007 denied haapoja a chance to win the finnish heavyweight title. he lost for a second time to denis bakhtov on 22 may 2008, which was for a wbc and paba regional heavyweight title. on 28 november 2008, haapoja stopped sami elovaara in nine rounds to become the finnish heavyweight champion, winning the vacant title in his second attempt. a defence of this title against jarno rosberg, which went the ten-round distance, was later relegated to a no contest after rosberg was caught for steroids. on 23 september 2011, haapoja won his first major regional title by defeating faisal ibnel arrami via unanimous decision (ud) to become the european union cruiserweight champion. he made two successful defences against ian tims on 21 january 2012 (twelve-round unanimous decision) and francesco versaci on 15 september 2012 (fourth-round stoppage), but lost the title to mateusz masternak on 15 december 2012 (unanimous decision). consecutive losses came against silvio branco on 6 july 2013 (tenth-round technical decision) and rakhim chakhkiyev on 15 march 2014 (ninth-round tko), both times for the vacant wbc silver cruiserweight title. haapoja suffered his sixth professional loss on 31 january 2015, when he was stopped in two rounds by serhiy demchenko. in a rematch against demchenko on 23 may, the fight ended in a ten-round split draw. haapoja won his second european union cruiserweight title on 25 march 2017, scoring a ud over damian bruzzese. his first defence, on 21 october, was unsuccessful: after losing an sd to alexandru jur, haapoja promptly announced his retirement from boxing. neven majstorović (born 17 march 1989) is a serbian male volleyball player. he was part of the serbia men's national volleyball team at the 2014 fivb volleyball men's world championship in poland. he plays for cs arcada galați in romania. authors alliance is a non-profit organization further the public interest in facilitating widespread access to works of authorship by assisting and representing authors who want to disseminate knowledge and products of the imagination broadly. the authors alliance's main issues are managing authors' rights, authorship law & policy, reaching audiences, and authorial reputation & integrity. the author's alliance has released a how-to guide on authors' rights reversion, "understanding rights reversion: when, why & how to regain copyright and make your book more available," a guide that arms authors with the information and strategies they need to revive their books, authored by nicole cabrera, jordyn ostroff and brianna schofield. kanaan live 1975 is a live performance album by peter frohmader, released on october 9, 2000 by green tree records. adapted from the "kanaan live 1975" liner notes. caprim ltd, corporate asset protection and risk management, was an intelligence service used by corporations. caprim was established in may 1993 as a successor to the economic league, which had held the construction industry's blacklist but which had been wound up in 1993 after a parliamentary enquiry and bad press. it provided continued employment for two former league directors, jack winder and stan hardy. construction company sir robert mcalpine ltd invested £10,000 in founding caprim, on the understanding that they would not interfere with the consulting association. in evidence given to the scottish parliamentary affairs committee as part of its inquiry into blacklisting on 5 february 2013, former caprim director jack winder said that it held information and knowledge on campaigning groups and "far-left" political parties seen as a threat to businesses, including: caprim warned firms of those it believed could "weaken a company's ability to manage its affairs profitably". its monitor said: "companies need to be warned what these organisations are saying and planning. caprim provides this information. and assesses the strength of the threat. and advises on appropriate action." jack winder claimed that the joint managing directors were himself and stan hardy;

establishing a retail tax on gin and annual licenses for gin sellers. designed to curb gin consumption, the law was widely disobeyed and then repealed in 1743. gin consumption in the united kingdom increased markedly during the late 17th and early 18th centuries during the so-called gin craze. as consumption continued to grow, gin began to be blamed for a variety of social ills including crime, prostitution and mental illness. pushed forward by social reformers such as joseph jekyll, the gin act of 1736 attempted to curb gin consumption by instituting a 20 shilling per gallon excise tax as well as a £50 annual license (equivalent to £ today) for all gin sellers. passed in 1735, it was set to take effect in september 1736. the law proved immensely unpopular and provoked public rioting. king george ii issued a proclamation requiring compliance with the law and an end to public disorder against it. after just a year, though, enforcement began to wane and the public began to defy the law more openly. it is said that only two of the annual licenses were ever purchased. moonshine also became widespread as people produced their own gins, sometimes using dangerous ingredients such as turpentine and sulfuric acid. by 1743, gin production had actually increased to an all-time high of and enforcement of the law was considered impossible. the financial strain of the war of the austrian succession also played a role as the government sought a solution which would generate more income. the act was repealed by the gin act of 1743 which set much lower taxes and fees. south run

thessaloniki after a broad architecture contest that had been proclaimed by deth for the construction of the new gate. the 1966 was a year of significant changes for deth that included architectural interventions on the basis of its modernization. the «sculpture deth» is 17m height and according to his creator it represents in an abstract way the winged victory of samothrace. the placement of the sculpture arose initially many reactions as it was quite different comparing it with the works of public art of the time in greece. the sculpture found many defenders, between them patroklos karantinos, manolis andronikos, dimitris fatouros, etc. in the meantime the press of the time was divided about the new acquisition of the city. the sculpture is situated on the same spot until today and has been considered as one of the first abstract pieces of art of that size that was built in the public space in greece. bascom is an unincorporated community in smith county, located in the u.s.

brazilian club funvic taubaté, a silver medalist of the 2014 world championship, south american champion (2005, 2009, 2015). raphael oliveira may refer to: peirce was born in providence, rhode island, on august 16, 1836; his father died before he was born. his mother remarried to seth padelford, the governor of rhode island. peirce lived with his family in providence and received his education at the brown university grammar school. he graduated in 1856 and worked for a drug company until the poor economic conditions caused by the panic of 1857 caused him to leave and go with his family to europe for a year. although peirce read law with abraham payne in 1859, he never went into practice. he was appointed assistant professor of chemistry in 1862 at brown university and was promoted to full professorship in 1863. two years later he resigned and devoted himself to research in chemistry at harvard university and then yale university. peirce took care of his personal estate after leaving the universities. he was wealthy and pursued hobbies and studies in his fields of interest, including electricity, photography, and the aeolian harp. the first telephones consisted of a wooden box which resembled a camera. the mouthpiece was a two-inch tube that had an opening into a cavern air chamber that had in the back a 4.5 inch round plate of sheet iron. this box telephone consisted a large "u" shaped, horseshoe magnet with an iron core attached to each pole. the soft iron core attachments were wound with a spool of small gauge insulated wire. the electrical current generated by the spools of wire related to the waveform of person's voice spoken into the mouthpiece. the whole mechanical gadget was bulky and awkward and did not respond well to a person's voice. telephone experiments had been taking place at brown university in providence since the fall of 1876. the professors doing these experiments were peirce, william francis channing and eli whitney blake, jr. by april 1877 they constructed the first portable telephone. this was made of two blocks of wood, one of which had a hole in it for the two inch round converging mouthpiece designed by peirce. the other block of wood supported a horseshoe magnet made of two toy magnets. it had a sheet metal plate on top that was just touching an iron rod with a spool of small gauge insulated wire to pick up voice sounds. the pattern of electrical currents generated by the spool of wire related to a person's voice spoken into the mouthpiece. this telephone device weighed about twelve ounces and could be held in one hand when mounted on a handle. it reproduced voices better that the large box telephones made earlier and worked well over long circuits but with less volume. it did, however, serve as both transmitter and receiver and had to be moved from the mouth to the ear depending on whether the caller was speaking or listening. the handle telephone was embraced by alexander graham bell and in june 1878 the bell telephone company began production of its standard handheld model, combined with a wall-hung pushbutton to signal the operator, to sell internationally. the developmental professors at brown university were given little credit for coming up with this hand-held model. according to the "proceedings of the rhode island historical society" it was peirce who came up with name "telephone". the wooden telephone set of a transmitter and receiver later became known as the "butterstamp" telephone, due to its resemblance to the wooden dairy butter stamps used at that time for impressing designs onto butter. peirce died on march 3, 1897 in providence. michael murphy (born march 22, 1975) is an american artist, sculptor and pioneer of the perceptual art movement. murphy became widely known during the 2008 u.s. presidential election, after creating the first portrait of candidate barack obama in 2007 that influenced thousands of artists to contribute to the “art for obama” movement, documented in shepard fairey's book "". his approach is to challenge the viewer's boundaries using multidimensional techniques in order to create three-dimensional renderings of flat images. his inventions of "expanded graphics", the "3d halftone" and "suspended narrative mobiles" have established an entirely new formula for rendering images. murphy was born in youngstown, ohio. he earned his bachelor of fine arts and sculpture training from kent state university in 2000. he then earned his master of fine arts in art and technology from the art institute of chicago while focusing on sound art, installation and metal casting. in 2000 murphy began his teaching career at the art institute of chicago. he taught at various universities for twelve years until he retired in 2013 to focus exclusively on his art. according to his website, "for the past two years michael has been partnering with michael jordan and nike creating centerpiece works of art for their retail environments incorporating murphy's stylistic approach into the jordan brand." michael murphy's work has been exhibited widely ranging from intimate gallery settings to large outdoor public installations. murphy has shown exhibited alongside shepard fairey, swoon and ron english. his work has been featured in "time" magazine, "new york magazine", "ark" magazine, "american artist’s drawing magazine", "uptown magazine", "washington life", art for obama, and designing obama. his works are held in private collections in munich, london, zurich, los angeles, atlanta, new york city, chicago, cleveland and washington, d.c.. one of his pieces, come together, is currently touring with an art installation show known as "point of view" hosted by wonderspaces. murphy creates every piece carefully considering the viewer and the experience they will have when seeing the piece. his large-scale installations "dominate the viewer's physical and mental space, captivating the critical thought process." his work at first looks like an unorganized composition of material, but when viewed from a proper angle, becomes a highly organized suspended three dimensional graphic image. murphy's breadth of work ranges "from sound installations utilizing pools of water and live cellos to the incorporation of shadows as shading. murphy's ability to think outside the box, and his technical skill to bring the concepts to fruition, make his work a fun, imaginative and accessible experience." murphy created the first portrait of barack obama in 2007 as soon as his campaign launched. during the 2008 u.s. presidential election michael murphy was inspired by the "hope" and potential for "change" obama campaigned on and the "hope that change is really possible". murphy's wire portrait of obama received critical acclaim and was featured in "time" magazine's december 2008 issue. in 2012 "time" magazine commissioned murphy to create a portrait of barack obama for their person of the year issue. he worked with a variety of mediums ranging from nails to high-tension wire, pastels, and even cardboard. "several pieces use directional light and shadows to create images. these works seem to change form depending on the line of sight, making them interactive for viewers." michael was commissioned to create three pieces for manifest hope, art shows featuring artists who "used their talents to motivate the grassroots movement that carried barack obama to victory." "(wood, light, nails, and shadows - 24" x 24" 4")" in 2007 michael murphy began creating portraits of barack obama. one of his earliest portraits of barack obama was created by the shadow cast by 6,400 nails hammered into a canvas. the shadows produced by each nail when lit properly form the likeness of obama. the obama art report, which covered all of the work produced during the 2008 presidential election wrote that, "in an artistic movement so heavily inundated with design work, prints and street art, murphy’s nail portrait came as a breath of fresh air." "(high tension wire - 24" x 24" x 96")" michael murphy's sculpture "tension" received critical acclaim and was featured in "time"'s year-end edition that featured the most prominent obama artworks. murphy used 1000 feet of high tension steel wire to create a profile portrait of obama. "obama's image pops out of the sculpture only if viewers stand at a precise location; otherwise, they see only a mess of wire." the portrait was displayed as the prominent piece of the manifest hope: dc art show, curated by shepard fairey. in 2012 "time" magazine commissioned murphy to create a portrait of barack obama, their 2012 person of the year. the result was a multilayered cardboard sculpture that "time" hailed as an "incredible piece." the final portrait consisted of 66 hand-cut and painted cardboard plates suspended from white braided fibers. in michael's own words, cnn and many other international news organizations highlighted murphy's work propelling him to international fame, and providing him with a platform for his activist art. ed port was diagnosed at the age of 3 with neurofibromatosis type 2, which caused a growing tumor on his face. the growth of the tumor "obscured the vision in his left eye, damaged his hearing and led to the removal of part of his jawbone"; however his insurance considered the surgeries cosmetic in nature and would not provide coverage. michael murphy saw his newfound fame from his obama portraits as a platform to help ed and bring attention to his struggle. as cnn reported at the time, "he realized he could redirect the buzz aimed at his work toward a friend in need." he made a film showcasing ed's struggle, developed a website for ed, and sold his "obama nail portrait" on ebay to raise money and bring awareness to ed's desperate need for surgery.", after cnn interviewed michael and aired portions of the video he made for ed port, a surgeon reached out to ed and offered to perform the surgery at no cost to ed. "(black balls, steel, and braided fiber - 10' x 20' x 10)" murphy's sculptural feat "damage" consists of 1,200 ping pong balls painted black and suspended from the ceiling, when viewed from the correct angle the balls coalesce into an expanded graphic of an assault rifle. the piece was created with the ongoing gun control debate in america in mind, and stands as a metaphor for the role perspective plays in shaping this dialogue. the physical arrangement of the piece seems at first unorganized, until it is viewed from the proper perspective when a fully formed assault rifle comes into full view. as murphy said when the piece was released, instead of taking a side in the debate, the piece was meant to further communication and discussion about gun control, gun culture and the use of guns in america. "(150 toy guns - 12' x 20' x 12')" "gun country" is an expanded graphic of the united states rendered using 130 suspended toy guns. the controversial installation which received much praise from both sides of the gun debate, was meant to foster conversation about the prevalence of guns in america. the widespread media coverage the piece received did just that, and allowed millions of people to engage in conversation about their stance on guns and gun related issues in america., the piece was created for artprize 2014 and installed on the terrace of the urban instite for contemporary arts in grand rapids, mi. "(3d halftone sculpture - 1,252 wood balls, paint, and braided fibers - 12' x 8' x 10')" come together is a symbol of power. it depicts murphy's girlfriend's fist raised during the women's march in dc in early 2018. there are over 2000 pieces of wood that make up the shape. this piece is currently being shown in an interactive art show known as "point of view" that is touring within a company named wonderspaces. khaled ben slimene (born ) is a tunisian male volleyball player. he was part of the tunisia men's national volleyball team at the 2014 fivb volleyball men's world championship in poland. he played for co kelibia. nabil miladi (born ) is a tunisian male volleyball player. he was part of the tunisia men's national volleyball team at the 2014 fivb volleyball men's world championship in poland. he played for es tunis. jesse frank diggs (november 21, 1917 – january 26, 2004) was an american journalist. during world war ii as a prisoner of war, he was held at oflag 64 in northern poland. before the war, he was a journalist at the washington post, and while a pow, he founded and edited a pow newspaper. after the war, he joined u.s. news and world report where he had a long career. diggs was born in hagerstown, maryland in 1917. he attended american university and received a bachelor's degree in economics. he then attended george washington university where he received a master's degree, also in economics. he then took a position as a journalist at the washington post, where he worked for three years before joining the army in 1941 during world war ii. in the army, diggs was a part of the third division in the u.s. invasion of sicily in 1943, where he was captured and held as a prisoner at oflag 64, a prison camp in northern poland. as a pow, diggs met with george juskalian and together they founded and edited a pow newspaper which was based on reports from incoming pows and german accounts. among the journalist who wrote for the paper was pulitzer prize winner, larry allen. near the end of the war, diggs and other pows were marched west into germany away from approaching soviet forces. during the march, diggs and another officer, nelson tacy, escaped. they were taken in by a polish family for several weeks and when the soviet army arrived in the area, they were safe and were able to return to u.s. forces. as a soldier, diggs was awarded a silver star, bronze star and a purple heart. after the war, diggs joined the u.s. news & world report. he served the magazine for 37 years. among his notable articles and his longest was a 13-page interview with politician john mccain, who was a pow in vietnam for five and a half years. diggs retired from the u.s. news as a senior editor in 1982. after retirement, he continued to occasionally contribute articles to the maturity news service, which is syndicated widely. diggs also was the author of three books: "oflag 64-a unique prisoner of war camp" about his wartime internment, "americans behind the barbed wire: world war ii : inside a german prison camp ", and "the welcome swede".

6pm. their mission was to try to get people to think a bit about the claims that were made at the venue: "keep your bulldust(sic) detector in good order," according to spokesman david tyler. they designed and handed out small flyers for many different topics. they started with "a thinker's guide to ..." and provided something a reader could get through in 30 seconds. they had more references to give the person if they were interested in learning more. their idea was to create an "island of reason in a sea of rainbows and unicorns." much to their surprise, they bonded with people at the stalls around them, and learned a lot watching hour after hour of how the other exhibitors marketed their wares and skills. they did not receive any hostility and had some great conversations with attendees. one encounter they chalked up for a win was when a mother came to their table and read their literature on homeopathy. she asked a few questions and then told them she had just purchased a homeopathic whooping cough vaccine. she returned to the booth where she bought it to get her money back. after the event, they received double the number at their next meetup event. the skeptics hope to return to the festival year after year. in 2013, as a part of national science week, the launceston skeptics showed the 40-minute documentary "here be dragons" by brian dunning. choi says that the reason this is so important to show at this time is because the government reported that australians lost over $93 million dollars last year to scams. this documentary is a "gentle introduction to critical thinking ...as we all have a natural need to believe things." the launceston skeptics have sponsored speakers such as atheist lecturer peter boghossian and skeptical activist susan gerbic. in 2013 the tas ghost hunting society spent 4-hours investigating the launceston franklin house. they used evp recorders, sp-7 spirit box and other various paraphernalia common to modern ghost hunting groups. to abc news they announced that they found unexplained cold spots, and photographed shadows as well as recorded noises that when played back they said it was spirits saying the names "will" and "rachael", the tas groups states that there were several people named "william" associated with the building, including the man who established the boarding school. the tas conclusion is that '"the place isn't haunted, but it does have paranormal activity"'. when the launceston skeptics were asked, they reported that they did not find any of tas's "evidence" compelling. according to choi, the ghost team has not reported how they set up their equipment, how are they sure they didn't record or photograph themselves? skeptic spokesman david tyler responded "'it has to be good, if it's an extraordinary claim, that is that there are ghosts there it needs very solid evidence.'" the skeptics have asked to be included in future tas ghost hunting excursions. the launceston paranormal society (lps) has thought about inviting the skeptics to help them with their investigations into paranormal activity. choi has stated that they would welcome the opportunity, he thinks that lps is trying to approach ghost hunting scientifically, appreciating the importance of scientific evidence. "we try not to make assumptions based on unknown information." according to investigator benjamin radford most ghost hunting groups... make many methodological mistakes... in his article for skeptical inquirer radford concludes that ghost hunters should care about doing a truly scientific investigation "i believe that if ghosts exist, they are important and deserve to be taken seriously. most of the efforts to investigate ghosts so far have been badly flawed and unscientific --- and, not surprisingly, fruitless." after the 2011 release of the australian census, it was reported that in australia people who claimed to hold religious beliefs is dropping. in tasmania the percentage of people reporting no-religion, when asked, has risen to 29 percent. abs director of social and progress, fiona dowsley stated that half the people reporting no-religion are under the age of 30, and highly educated. choi when asked about the statistics, was not surprised. he stated that '"most people are starting to realise religion doesn't offer them too much and as they see they only have one opportunity in life rather than waste it on religion it's important to cherish the time we've got."' at the end of 2012, choi was asked his thoughts about the anticipated end-of-the-world mayan calendar scare. choi responded that there have been many doomsday predictions, none of which have come true. he states that this current apocalypse hype was brought on by "over-excited enthusiasts." as of october 2015 the launceston skeptics meet three times a month. "skeptical sunday" meets on the 2nd sunday of every month and skeptics in the pub meets on the 1st and 3rd thursdays of every month. on july 3, 3013 the launceston skeptics became non-profit and are now known as launceston skeptics inc. member year runs july 1 to june 30 and dues are $20 per year. nicolas le goff (born 15 february 1992) is a french volleyball player, a member of france men's

at 217 spruce street in the society hill neighborhood of philadelphia, pennsylvania, usa. the house was first built by james davis, jr., a master builder and an early member of the carpenters' company of the city and county of philadelphia, america's first builders’ guild. davis served as assistant warden of the organization from 1767 to 1770 and was a major contributor towards the construction of carpenters' hall in philadelphia. davis had acquired the lot on which the davis-lenox house stands in 1758 for 5 pounds yearly ground rent and completed construction of a two-story brick house and kitchen in 1759. following davis' death, his heirs sold the house in 1779 to revolutionary war hero and prominent philadelphian david lenox. lenox and his wife, tacy (née lukens), added a third floor bedroom and sitting room, garret, and new kitchen in 1784. lenox was born in kirkcudbright, scotland and emigrated to philadelphia sometime before the outbreak of the revolutionary war. when war broke out, he joined the continental army and was commissioned captain of the 3rd battalion of the pennsylvania militia. while fighting the hessians at fort washington in 1776, he was wounded, taken prisoner, and held by the british for eighteen months. following his release, he served as aide-de-camp with the rank of major to major general anthony wayne. lenox also joined philadelphia's first city troop. while a member, he led a successful rescue of james wilson, one of the "founding fathers" of the united states and a signatory of the declaration of independence, when wilson and others barricaded themselves in wilson's home ("fort wilson") during a riot in response to wilson's successful defense of 23 people from property seizure and exile by the state government. following the revolutionary war, lenox became a successful merchant, government official, diplomat, and banker. in 1793 president george washington appointed lenox to be the second u.s. marshal for the district of pennsylvania where he was instrumental in suppressing the whiskey rebellion. after lenox left his position as marshal, he served as agent for the united states to the court of st. james's, during which he worked to exchange american sailors who were captured by the british and french. later, he distinguished himself in commerce, banking and finance, including as trustee of the girard bank and as president of the philadelphia bank. lenox died in 1828 and is buried near the house in old pine street church cemetery. the davis-lenox house has had many owners and occupants since lenox sold it in 1810, and the steady flow of immigrants through philadelphia's port nearby is reflected in the nationalities of those who have lived there since then. regrettably, its condition deteriorated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but in 1960 it was carefully restored to its original 18th-century condition by mr. and mrs. c. jared ingersoll, descendants of a signer of the declaration of independence. it was one of the first and most successful examples of philadelphia's urban renewal endeavor to restore society hill to its former colonial era glory. a second third floor bedroom and two bathrooms were added to the house in 1990. today, the house still conforms closely to the period of lenox's ownership of the house, and the fundamental architectural integrity of the building remains largely intact. it has been said that the davis-lenox house “is one of the finest examples of colonial city houses in philadelphia in the late 18th century.” built of old brick, the house is three and a half stories high, with brick belt courses between the floors. the front door is eight paneled, with a pediment above. a brick water table is positioned between the first floor windows and the foundation. the half story contains a dormer window. the interior room layout is essentially the same as it was in the early 19th century. of the seven fireplaces in the house, six have the original paneling, mantles, firebacks, marble facings, and hearths. the facings of three fireplaces are king of prussia blue marble. most of the other woodwork and floors are original as is the exterior brick and the frontispiece over the front door. three fire insurance marks appear on the second floor facade, representing the philadelphia contributorship, the insurance company of north america, and the mutual assurance company. the house is registered with the philadelphia register of historic places and is included in the historic american buildings survey. the house is privately owned. vice-admiral john pakenham (1743-1807) was a royal navy officer who became commander-in-chief of the jamaica station. promoted to post captain in 1780, pakenham briefly served as commander-in-chief of the jamaica station in 1785 before going on to command the third-rate hms "gibraltar" in 1796 and the third-rate hms "ajax" in july 1798 in the channel. promoted to rear-admiral in 1799 and to vice-admiral in 1804, he died at lowestoft in suffolk in 1807. eemi tervaportti (born 26 july 1989) is a finnish male volleyball player. he was part of the finland men's national

established in 1989, it includes an exhibition hall, lectures, cooking demonstrations, a culinary competition between celebrity chefs, and new product awards. kosherfest is considered a showcase for food trends and innovations in the kosher-certified food industry. the event is closed to the public, but admits manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, buyers, caterers, retail stores, and media personnel, including photographers and food bloggers. kosherfest is co-produced by lubicom marketing and consulting and diversified communications. kosherfest was conceived in 1989 by irving silverman, who hired menachem lubinsky, president and ceo of lubicom marketing and consulting, to market it. it was originally called the international kosher food and food service trade show. at its inaugural event, staged at the new york passenger ship terminal, there were 69 exhibitors and 700 attendees. by 2001, the show was attracting 500 exhibitors and 12,000 buyers from across the united states and 29 countries at the jacob k. javits convention center. in 2014, 330 exhibitors and 6,000 registered attendees participated, filling all of the meadowlands exposition center in secaucus, new jersey. in 2004 diversified communications of portland, maine, began co-producing the event with lubicom. in the 1990s kosherfest was staged at the meadowlands exposition center, but moved to the jacob k. javits convention center in 1998, where it convened continuously from 2003 to 2007. in 2008 it moved back to the meadowlands, where it has been held ever since. attendance at kosherfest is restricted to manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, buyers, caterers, retail stores, and media personnel, including photographers and food bloggers. the majority of participants are from the usa, however exhibitors come from diverse countries including finland, argentina, and japan. in 2014, a majority of attendees were orthodox jews. kosherfest furnishes areas for daily prayer services and stations for ritual hand-washing. kosherfest is considered a showcase for food trends and innovations in the kosher-certified food industry. at the first show in 1989, exhibitors displayed traditional kosher fare such as "gefilte fish, chopped liver, stuffed cabbage and kugel". between 1992 and 1997 the number of kosher-certified food products grew from 26,000 to approximately 41,000. along with the increase came more diversified fare, indicating that kosher "isn't just for passover, or jews, anymore". among the products on display in 1996 were kosher-certified venison, gumbo, imitation crab, and faux caviar. the 2013 exhibition included kosher-certified kielbasa, "bacon" cheeseburgers, chorizo, cajun beef sausage, and asian sauces. additionally, some of the food developers and vendors were not jewish. recent trends seen at kosherfest include gluten-free foods (in 2013, gluten-free products represented nearly 20% of the foods on display), greek yogurt, organic food, vegan offerings, and dairy-free products. with the abundance of free samples handed out by exhibitors in the exhibition hall, kosherfest has been called "the world's biggest kiddush" and "a cross between a professional trade show and the buffet line at your cousin's bar mitzva". samples run the gamut from dairy to meat to pareve, including cheeses, sausages, sauces, pastries, ice cream, wine and liquor.

barrel-shaped seats, usually detachable additions to a roadster. tonneau may also refer to: pachycondyla petrosa is an extinct species of ant in the formicid subfamily ponerinae described from a fossil found in europe. "p. petrosa" is one of six lutetian "pachycondyla" species. when described "pachycondyla petrosa" was known from a single fossil insect which is a compression-impression fossil preserved in layers of soft sedimentary rock. along with other well preserved insect fossils, the "p. petrosa" specimen was collected from layers of lutetian messel formation rock in the messel pit world heritage site. the messel formation is composed of brown coals, oil shales, and bituminous shale, which preserved numerous insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and terrestrial mammals as a notable lagerstätten. the area is a preserved maar lake which initially formed approximately 47 million years ago as the result of volcanic explosions. at the time of description, the holotype specimen, number smf mei 12273 was preserved in the senckenberg research station messel fossil collections. the fossil was first described by gennady dlussky and sonja wedmann in a 2012 paper on the poneromorph ants of messel. in the type description, dlussky and wedmann named the species "p. petrosa", with the specific epithet derived from the greek "petros", which means stone. the species is one of six "pachycondyla" which have been described from messel formation fossils. all six of the species were described by dlussky and wedmann in the same 2012 paper, the other five being "p. eocenica", "p. lutzi", "p.? messeliana", "p. parvula", and "p. petiolosa". another eight fossil species have been described from fossils in north america, europe, and asia. the "pachycondyla petrosa" fossil is possibly either a queen or worker and preserved in lateral positioning. the ant has a body length of approximately and the head is . the alitrunk is long, with the ant being described as being very similar to members of the genus "mesoponera", formerly considered a subgenus of "pachycondyla". where preserved the generally triangular mandibles have large blocky teeth and comprise less than half the length of the head. the petiole is a triangle in side view, with a high scale, and a rounded apex. the 2016 united states house of representatives elections in rhode island were held on november 8, 2016, to elect the 2 u.s.

ethnographer, tamburitza virtuoso, multi-instrumentalist. along with pajo kolarić, franjo kuhač, julije njikoš, mijo majer and branko mihaljević, he is a living legend of tamburitza and rock music. he was born in županja, croatia, on 10 june 1943. as a six-year-old boy, he played tamburitza in a school show. his family moved to osijek in 1956, where he attended osijek's reputable music school, “franjo kuhač”, along with primary school. in 1958, before he was fully fifteen, he became a member of radio osijek's tamburitza orchestra, led by the giant of tamburitza music, julije njikoš, until 1964. in this orchestra nikolić played all of the tamburitza instruments. there his successful music work started, not only with folk significance, but also with a cultural and social dimension. at the beginning of the 1960s, along with tamburitza instruments (and other stringed instruments banjo, bouzouki, balalaika, then piano, mouth organ, fife, kazoo, ocarina) nikolić also played the electric guitar. along with krunoslav kićo slabinac, he formed the band tornado and then, in 1963, the legendary rock band dinamiti, which was the most famous rock band in ex- yugoslavia in the 1960s, and which also performed around europe. in 1967 antun nikolić tuca went into military service. after serving in the military he came back in 1969 to tamburitza music. the same year he re-formed and began leading the big tamburitza orchestra of radio osijek, with which he works as conductor, arranger, music producer and music editor. he also collects, records and preserves the enormous traditional values of northeast croatia. in the year 1971 from the big tamburitza orchestra of radio osijek, antun nikolić formed the tamburitza ensemble slavonski bećari which remained active until

records, 532 in huzip recorded television performances. they have cooperated with many well-known homeland and overseas singers and earned many international and national rewards and prizes. along with playing instruments, directing and arranging, antun nikolić tuca was also collecting and recording the cultural music heritage of northeast croatia. what franjo kuhač started in the 19th century, was continued in the 20th century by branko mihaljević and julije njikoš, and in his own way in the 21st century by antun nikolić tuca. along with ethnographic work on collecting and preserving folk heritage, as the long-standing music editor on radio osijek (1969 -2005), nikolić used his position to record a great number of folk motifs, and in his many television appearances and radio broadcasts he promoted folk songs and traditional dances from the area of slavonija, baranja and srijem. among his many public performances, his solo at the concert of the 100 best croatian tamburitza players under the name of “šokačka rapsodija”, which was included in the guinness book of records for its number of players, stands out. 235 of tuca's works are listed in the croatian music authors database

schools serve 6,123 students and employ 684 faculty and staff. the district includes two elementary schools, one intermediate school, one middle schools, and one high school. in april 2011, the alabaster city council commissioned a $32,000 feasibility study of the city forming its own school district by ira harvey of decision resources. harvey delivered the study that september, finding that alabaster was well-positioned to create its own system, but should implement a 1-cent sales tax increase to do so. after a month of discussion amongst the council and with citizens, the city council voted on october 17, 2011 to both create the school board and raise the city sales tax from 3% to 4% to support it. in january 2012, the city council's education committee began interviewing the 32 applicants for the new alabaster board of education. on march 26, 2012, the first board was sworn in. it consisted of linda church, melanie shores, john myrick, tyrone quarles, and former city councilor adam moseley. moseley resigned from the city council to take the position, as alabama state law prohibits one person serving in both bodies at once. in january 2013, the board hired former jefferson county schools superintendent phil hammonds as interim superintendent. hammonds had spent the previous six months as part-time coordinator of administrative services for the group and had retired from his position as jefferson county superintendent the month before. by that time it had been decided that alabaster would begin its first school year that fall. state law allowed the board to hire an interim superintendent for six months while it sought someone to fill the position permanently. on may 1, the board announced it had chosen saraland superintendent wayne vickers as the system's first permanent superintendent. vickers, one of 16 applicants for the permanent position, had overseen saraland schools after that city voted to separate from the mobile county schools system. the board also voted in may to have alabaster officially separate from shelby county schools on july 1, 2013. out-of-town students currently attending what would become alabaster schools will be slowly transferred to county schools through 2020. out-of-town students in sixth grade for the 2013–14 school year will be permitted to stay through 12th grade. alabaster students attending the linda nolen learning center in pelham will continue attending it until 2020 and those attending the shelby county school of technology in columbiana will be able to stay through graduation. the only unresolved matter was what to do with the shelby county instructional services center located in alabaster, as both systems wanted to keep it. that matter will therefore be decided by the alabama superintendent of education's office. the new school system opened to students on august 19, 2013. in celebration of the new system, on september 25 thompson high school held its first homecoming parade in 50 years. the alabaster city school district consists of six schools: the alabaster board of education currently operates with five members. adam moseley (president), derek henderson (vice-president), linda church, dr. john myrick, and ty quarles serve staggered contracts during the first years of operation. on may 1, 2013, the board approved dr. wayne vickers as the system’s

"dear mr. penis head" caught the attention of indie music pioneer, ani difranco, who called the album one of her favorites of the year. she formed the band, "danielle lopresti and the masses" (named after turn-of-the century activist magazine, the masses), and has since put out three more full-length albums through the say it records label - "22 mountains" (2003), "outloud" (2006) and "run with it" (2010). lopresti signed a one album distribution contract for "run with it" with trevino music group/ universal music group. lopresti began professionally acting, singing and modeling as a teenager. at the age of 15, she was signed by the shamon freitas talent agency and began doing runway and print modeling, as well as live acting/ singing/ dancing for a variety of theater and commercial entities. as a college student she starred in several usiu professional company productions including "man of la mancha (dulcinea / aldonza), hello, dolly! (dolly), the mikado (katisha)", and "the boy friend (madame dubonnet)". out of college, lopresti took a few minor television roles (screen and voice), before shifting her focus to music and event production exclusively. in november 2004, lopresti produced the first san diego indiefest (originally called san diego indie music fest) with fellow musicians and collaborators, alicia champion and kelly bowen. the inaugural event featured 25 independent musicians and bands on three stages, headlined by jonatha brooke. the festival continued to grow on an annual basis. in 2007, the event introduced independent film to the program and officially changed its name to san diego indiefest. the event has featured hundreds of bands over the last decade including cake, metric, talib kweli, best coast, semi precious weapons, juliette lewis, among others. in 2014, california state senator, toni atkins, said that she "can attest to the singular effect that indiefest had on the early years of north park’s renaissance," and that "cross-cultural activities like indiefest reach across boundaries and strengthen the social fabric of neighborhoods." lopresti married her partner of ten years, alicia champion, in may 2014. the couple have one child whom they adopted at birth through san diego county child welfare services in 2011. in 2013, lopresti was diagnosed with stage iii non-hodgkins lymphoma and underwent an eight-month-long treatment regimen. she has been in remission ever since. jenin (; also spelled "jinin") is a syrian village in the tartous governorate. according to the syria central bureau of statistics (cbs), jenin had a population of 896 in the 2004 census. cindy walters (born 1963) is an australian architect and partner at walters & cohen in london, england. she studied in south africa before moving to london in 1990 where she worked at foster & partners. walters & cohen was established in 1994 with michál cohen. walter's and cohen were appointed to design exemplary school prototypes for tony blair's department for education and skills in 2003 and the scottish government's scottish futures trust in 2012. in 2012, cindy walters and michál cohen together received the architects' journal inaugural woman architect of the year award. when presenting the award, the judge emphasized the "consistent quality of their architecture, combined with the ethos of the practice," commenting on their "active involvement with the riba and in teaching and examining at architecture schools". 70% of the walters & cohen's architectural staff were women at the time of the award. lucky days is a 1935 british comedy film directed by reginald denham and starring chili bouchier, whitmore humphries and leslie perrins.it was made at elstree studios as a quota quickie. hoplostethus confinis is a species of slimehead native to the andaman sea in the indian ocean. it lives in deep water between 290m and 330m from the surface and can reach sizes of up to 12.3 cm. julia barfield, , (born 1952) is a british architect and director of marks barfield architects, established in 1989. barfield created the london eye together with husband partner david marks. barfield has interest in vernacular architecture, geometry and in the way nature "designs and organizes itself so efficiently". she was influenced by buckminster fuller and his beliefs on how architects have a social and environmental responsibility. barfield remains involved in a diverse array of projects within architecture, including the categories of culture, education, transportation, sports, leisure, and master planning. barfield was drawn to architecture through the influence of a family friend who was an architect. she was interested in the arts and sciences and believes that "architecture is a bridge" between them. she studied at the architectural association school of architecture in london from 1972 to 1978. she spent a year abroad working in the "barriadas" of lima, peru, where she designed housing and a community centre. after graduation, barfield worked for foster and partners for nine years. in 1990, together with husband david marks, she founded marks barfield architects, designing projects for the leisure, housing, transport, education and cultural sectors. barfield has served as an awards assessor for riba and the [[civic trust (england)|civic trust) and judges architectural competitions.she lectures at conferences and universities, advises for the interdisciplinary design for the built environment masters course at [[university of cambridge|cambridge university]], and serves as a governor at [[godolphin and latymer school|godolphin & latymer school]] for girls. she previously served as vice president of the [[architectural association school of architecture]].

was an agricultural land reform in sweden–finland in 1803-1807. its purpose was to replace the scattered farmland in village communities to connected lands for each farm. this was in fact a continuation of the previous land reform "storskiftet", but it was more radical and effective, as it did not merely divide the land, as the previous reform, but also forced the villagers to move their farms from the village closer to the land they had been given, which signified the end of traditional village life. enskiftet was initiated in the province of scania by carl gideon wadman at the estate svaneholm castle, owned by rutger macklean. in 1785, macklean had the 701 villagers of his estate evicted and forced to relocate their homes on the new land he divided to them. the experiment was deemed to successful, that the government enforced it in the entire province in 1803. in 1807, the reform was enforced in the entire sweden-finland. in practice, however, the reform was never as thoroughly enforced in other provinces as it was in scania, and in finland, the reform was not quite given the time to be introduced until the finnish war. the reform was followed by the "laga skiftet" of 1827, which did not force the peasants to abandon their villages and relocate, but did finish the reform introduced by the "storskiftet" in 1749. sortedam dossering is a street that follows the western shore of sortedam lake, from nørrebrogade in the south to østerbrogade in the north, in central copenhagen, denmark. the section north of helgesensgade is closed to cars. the section from nørrebrogade to fredensgade is in nørrebro while the section from fredensgade to østerbrogade belongs to østerbro. the southwestern continuation of the street, along peblinge lake, with only the short stretch between nørrebrogade and baggesensgade open to car traffic, is called peblinge dossering. collectively sortedam dossering and peblinge dossering are known as dosseringen (definite form). the path along the shore of st. jørgen's lake, the lake furthest to the south, is called "svineryggen" ('the rack of pork'). sortedam lake is first mentioned in 1619 in the form "sorte dam" but it is unclear if "dam" (pond) at this stage referred to a small lake or a dam. the word "dossering" is derived from the french word "dos", meaning 'back', and refers to a path or road running on top of an embankment. the dossering was originally a small path. it later belonged to the water authority and was closed to the public by a locked gate at each end. residents at the bleaching ponds could obtain a key on the payment of a five mark deposit. the shoreline remained closed until the early 1850s. the first houses along the path were built when the so-called demarcation line which had enforced a no-built zone outside the city's fortification ring was moved from jagtvej to the western margin of the lakes in the 1852. one of them (sortedam dossering 37) belonged to pioneering precision mechanic edvard jünger who ran his company from the basement. it was taken over by christopher peter jürgensen in 1969 and played a central part in the creation of hansen's writing ball. most of the early houses on the street were gradually replaced by taller buildings. city architect was responsible for a redesign of the lakeside in 1929. this introduced the current solution with a lower part directly on the lake separated from the dossering by a grassy slope and a line of chestnut trees. a residential block just north of fredensgade was demolished in 1973 in

for several months. in her memoir, "no one to tell: breaking my silence on life in the rcmp", published by breakwater books in 2013, merlo detailed the discrimination she experienced and the depression it led to. she stated that the sexual harassment led to post-traumatic stress syndrome. this is an incomplete list of titles in the home university library of modern knowledge: the conspiracy of the barons was a revolution against ferrante of aragon, king of naples by the neapolitan aristocracy in 1485 and 1486. king ferdinand the first, also known as ferrante, aimed at dispelling the feudal particularism, strengthening the royal power as the only unquestionable source of authority. in that political and financial context a crash between the barons and the royalty was inevitable. a first fierce confrontation had raged across the kingdom for three years, but king ferrante managed to put down the riot, thanks to the assistance of a garrison of 1000 foot soldiers and 700 knights led by giogio castriota scanderberg from albania, looking for new lands for his folk scattered by the turkish army. so, this first conflict, also known as the "first battle of the barons", ended in 1462 with a clear victory of the king who could carry on his centralizing policy. on 28 july 1480, the turkish army landed in the area of salento (within the regional administration of puglia). their armed forces besieged the city of otranto, whose population lacking in assistance and protection from the king and the local noble families, had to capitulate some weeks later. in the whole kingdom of naples the feudal army had gone completely missing and the organization of a mercenary conscription system did not work yet. as a result, the king ferrante was compelled to subject the whole population to great financial efforts, which weakened the monarchy's consensus. moreover, a general impoverishment and a critical financial disorder was spreading in the country so that even the king was obliged either to sell or pawn part of his family's jewels and some precious books and manuscripts from his library. the tax burden reached an unbearable level and this further tax increase made barons upset, also as they saw in these measures a way of taking a revenge on them for an alleged relationship with the city venice, enemy of the aragon crown. what particularly concerned the local aristocracy was the king's project of expropriating them and creating a wide area around naples, within which the unique and unquestionable authority of the king was free of any sort of interference by other feudal lordship. the election on the papal throne of giovanni battista cybo as innocent viii in 1484 weakened the aragon dynasty in the south of italy, since ferrante had been supporting a cybo competitor, rodrigo borgia. some of the most influential barons in the neapolitan realm such as antonello petrucci, francesco coppola and girolamo sanseverino were willing to make the most of this situation, arranging a new plot against ferrante and his son the duke of calabria, fifteen years after a first baronial attempt. this second conspiracy was plotted in 1485 and one of its main leaders was the prince of salerno antonello ii dei sanseverino who, on the advice of antonello petrucci and francesco coppola, gathered together several feudal families belonging to the guelph faction and supporting the angevin. among them there were caracciolo prince of melfi, gesualdo marquis of caggiano, balzo-orsini prince of altamura and guevara, count of ariano. both antonello petrucci and bernardo coppola belonged to a new kind of nobility issued from the raising upper middle class. they were two key men of the conspiracy. first, the rebels gathered in melfi and gave girolamo sanseverino, prince of bisignano and count of tricarico and miglionico, the duty of checking the potential alliances, gaining the support of others noble families and working at the same time on a negotiation with the king girolamo sanseverino met in naples antonello petrucci and bernardo coppola, councillors of ferrante, in order to discover the intentions of the court and figure out their next steps. on 26 september 1485, a first group of rebel barons took possession of the city of l'aquila, getting rid of the royal garrison and raising the banner of the pope, who was the only authority up to question the legitimacy of ferrante as king of naples. a few months later, the rebellion against the royalty rose also in the territory of salerno. federico, younger son of ferrante was arrested and held as a prisoner by the rebels. the main strategic idea of the rebels was to interrupt the communication between naples and the other regions of the kingdom, preventing the king and his army from going through their territory. once the capital would be isolated, they would allow to the pope to enter the kingdomnaples and endow another candidate to the neapolitan throne. to do so, they counted on lorena and roberto di san severino's intervention. nevertheless, the lorena never showed up. after forming an alliance with florence and milan, the king quickly started fighting back. he immediately reacted in a strong and firm way, proceeding with wide seizure of their properties. eventually, according to the historian camillo porzio, the king and the rebels met in the castle del malconsiglio in miglionico for a decisive meeting. the rebel barons seemed to be satisfied with what ferrante pretended to be willing to grant them. nevertheless, he finally had them imprisoned and sentenced. the very last episode of this conspiracy happened in 1487 in the new castel of naples. in the so known “room of the barons” the surviving rebels were arrested and killed. the events were described by the sixteenth century italian historian camillo porzio in one of his most famous works : "la congiura dei baroni del regno di napoli contra re ferdinando". this is a list of watch

then part of the ottoman albania. he is descendant of sulejman pasha bargjini, who gave the main contribution to the development of tirana as a commercial and religious center. his family was an opponent of the powerful toptani family and with connected to the bushatlliu family of shkodra. as a result, abdyl rahman toptani exiled him away from tirana. he would reconcile later with the ottoman

the sraffa–hayek debate is debate between piero sraffa and friedrich hayek in 1930s. in 1931, hayek critiqued john maynard keynes's "treatise on money" (1930) in his "reflections on the pure theory of mr. j. m. keynes" and published his lectures at the lse in book form as "prices and production". keynes replied to hayek. after this, keynes asked sraffa to write a critical review of "prices and production" for the economic journal. sraffa elaborated on the logical inconsistencies of hayek's argument, especially concerning the effect of inflation-induced "forced savings" on the capital sector and about the definition of a "natural" interest rate in a growing economy. hayek's response and sraffa's rejoinder was published after this. the boboli obelisk, previously called the obelisco mediceo, is an ancient egyptian granite obelisk, which was moved in the 18th century from rome to florence, where it was erected in the boboli gardens. the granite from which the obelisk is carved comes from aswan and the inscriptions are dedicated to atum, the deity of the city of heliopolis. it is suspected to have been first erected in that city during the reign of ramesses ii. in the first century ad, it was moved to rome by domitian and placed in the temple of isis in the campus martius, along with three other obelisks still in rome: the obelisk at the monument to those fallen at dogali, the obelisk of piazza of the pantheon, and the obelisk in front of santa minerva. in the sixteenth century, cardinal ferdinand i de' medici bought the 6-metre high obelisk in rome and placed it in the gardens of the villa medici. when the grand duke peter leopold of lorraine became grand-duke of tuscany, he transferred to florence many of the artworks in the villa medici. in 1788 he moved the obelisk, which weighed 9000 kilograms, travelling to first to livorno, then by land to florence. the voyage took four months. he also moved the ancient roman basin made of granite that had been associated with the obelisk in the villa medici. it was erected near the center of the amphitheater of the boboli gardens in 1790, along the main axis leading away from the palace. in 1840, the granite basin, originally thought to derive from the terme alessandrine found in the campo martius of rome, was also included in front of the obelisk. the arrangement was designed by pasquale poccianti. the obelisk is surmounted by a gilded orb and the base has four turtles. both these accoutrements were present in rome. underlying the traditional solar winged scarab to the top of the obelisk you can read the name and the first name of ramesses ii, from which the obelisk was erected. entries, which are its titles, read: "grand master, powerful in all countries, the king, the son of tum and intelligent son of atum." the king is also called "loved" by tum and ra, and this shows that the obelisk is directly from heliopolis, the city of the "sun" (ra). mézec is a surname, and may

urban cultural center. glenn ford (october 29, 1949 – june 29, 2015) was convicted of murder in 1984 and released from angola prison in march 2014 after a full exoneration. ford was born in shreveport, louisiana. he was the longest serving death row inmate in the united states to be fully exonerated before his death. he was denied compensation by the state of louisiana for his wrongful conviction. isadore rozeman, 58, was found dead in his jewelry store on november 5, 1983, by shreveport police who had been notified by acquaintance dr. a. r. ebrahim that the shop appeared to be in disarray. rozeman had been murdered with a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. glenn ford, rozeman's yard man, was known to be in the vicinity of the store at the time of the murder and identified by multiple people at the trial. he was known to be with jake and henry robinson after the crime, showing materials stolen from the crime scene as well as a .22 calibre pistol belonging to jake. an acquaintance of ford testified that he had a .38 pistol in his waistband the morning of the crime, the same caliber bullet found at the crime scene. police initially were unable to find any evidence of the crime at ford's residence, but did find residue from a gunshot wound on his left hand (he is left-handed). ford was immediately taken into custody. evidence was, however, found in henry robinson's possession, as well as pawn shop receipts in ford's name from the date of the murder. ford was assigned two attorneys by the state due to his inability to pay for a lawyer on his own. both were selected from an alphabetical listing of lawyers from the local bar association. the lead attorney was an oil and gas lawyer who had never tried a case, criminal or civil, before a jury. the second attorney had been out of law school for only two years and worked at an insurance defense firm on slip and fall cases. prosecutors were able to take advantage of the defense's inexperience and use a peremptory challenge capacity to keep african americans off the jury, resulting in an all caucasian jury with a caucasian judge. ford was convicted and sentenced to death by the jury without a murder weapon linking him to the crime, and with evidence from confidential informants withheld. barry scheck of the innocence project has levied the accusation that racism played a role in the conviction, as he faced a completely caucasian jury despite living in a community that is at least half african american. he goes on to state that this is part of a broader pattern in the american legal system, and that uniform juries tend to deliberate less than diverse juries drawn from a range of backgrounds. he continues that "diverse juries are more likely to challenge one another, and less likely to fall back on what may be unconscious stereotypes." ford was sentenced to death by electrocution at louisiana state penitentiary in august 1988. in 2000, the louisiana supreme court ordered a hearing on ford's claim that the prosecution suppressed evidence that might have showed jake and henry robinson to be responsible for the murder (the two were initially implicated in the crime). in 2013, an unidentified informant told prosecutors that jake robinson admitted to shooting and killing rozeman. this led to ford's legal team filing a motion to vacate his conviction and sentence in march 2014, stating that "credible evidence...supporting a finding that ford was neither present at, nor a participant in, the robbery and murder of isadore rozeman." state district judge ramona emanuel overturned his conviction that same month. ford is one of at least 150 people on death row in the united states who were later exonerated and released. soon after release from prison, ford was diagnosed with terminal metastatic carcinoma of the lung. he entered home hospice care under the supervision of johnathan thompson (of "connick v. thompson" fame) and his organization resurrection after exoneration in new orleans, la. ford went missing on the night of april 22, 2015, after a precipitous change in mental state, possibly the result of his physical illness. police initiated a search and he was found the next day, bloodied and without memory of the event. ford was eligible for a $313,000 settlement under louisiana law, but a judge denied the petition for the funds, stating that he likely had some role in the initial crime as he had been in possession of stolen goods when arrested. ford knew a robbery was going to take place and did not stop it, according to a 60 minutes program that aired september 4, 2016. further, he attempted to destroy evidence by pawning items taken in the robbery and tried to find buyers for the murder weapon used by men ford implicated in the murder, according to caddo parrish district judge katherine dorroh. ford died under hospice care on june 29, 2015, from complications due to lung cancer. after learning of ford's innocence, a.m. "marty" stroud iii, prosecutor for the caddo parish district attorney's office in the ford case, regrets his role in the conviction. he has stated that he believes ford had an unfair trial where key evidence was suppressed by both police and prosecutors and that ford's lawyers did not have the financial resources nor the criminal law experience to mount a proper defense. he feels that if he had done his job properly at the time, and all the evidence had been properly collected, "they would not have even been able to arrest glenn ford, let alone try him for the crime." run is the debut studio album from australian electronic dj and producer alison wonderland. it was released on 20 march 2015 via emi music australia. the album features 3 singles; "u don't know" featuring wayne coyne, "run" and "games". a deluxe edition of the album featuring remixes of the four singles and her debut single "get ready", was released on 30 october 2015. alison wonderland toured north america in 2015, including a set at coachella. the hermitude remix of "games" and the dre skull remix of "games" which features konshens were released as promotional singles for the album. in addition, "run" appears on the soundtrack for the 2015 reboot of need for speed. during a string of interviews that occurred in march and april 2015 as part of promotion for run, wonderland said to "the vine" that the final track on the standard edition of the album titled "already gone" featuring brave and lido could not be remixed due to co-producer lido losing the project files and only having an mp3 for wonderland to record her vocals over. "u don't know" was released as the first single from "run" and features wayne coyne from the flaming lips. the music video was released on 11 february 2015 which co-stars christopher mintz-plasse. "run", the title track of the album, was released as the second single on 11 june 2015. it was accompanied by a music video uploaded on the same day. the third and final single "games" was released on 9 september 2015 which was accompanied with a one-take music video on the same day. a remix of "games" by hermitude was released for promotional purposes. the two singles "i want u" and "cold" from her 2014 debut extended play "calm down" were included on the album. while not released as an official single, a video for "take it to reality" featuring safia was released in august 2015. "run" received generally positive reviews from critics. dylan stewart from "the music" gave 'run' 4 out of 5 stars stating; "alison wonderland’s take on the modern electro genre throws any concept of subtlety out the window, a blessing considering the washed-out pretence with which some of her contemporaries (banks, grimes, sky ferreira) flirt." another positive review was given by krystal spence from "youredm" stating "not all the tracks on run could be technically classified as trap, but there are definitely a few that standout for their production value. “i want u” has a dreamy intro that goes well with her falsetto signing before a much harder drop. there's also “naked” with slumberjack, which provides great contrast against her voice as well." she also said that; "alison wonderland proves her ability to diversify, that she’s not just a one-trick pony. she has talent, lots of talent. overall, run is a smart debut album, capable of casting a big enough net to grow alison wonderland’s fan base exponentially over the next few months." in a more negative review, everett true of " the guardian" gave 'run' 1 out of 5 stars, stating 'there's little funk, no real purpose.' as well as ' there are no dynamics, or very few. just a load of edm signifiers and tropes spiralling around in need of a hook.' he complimented "i want u" for its moments of bass pounding, but countered the compliment by saying the vocals are lacking. note: track listing for standard edition adapted from allmusic. ebel riot (swedish: "ebelska upploppet") was a riot taking place in stockholm 7 january 1793. the riot took place when a group of burgher men, among them ebel, was insulted by a royal guardsman and was given the sympathy by a crowd of people, who accompanied them to the police and then to the royal palace to complain and demand action, while a speech was made by ebel, before the crowd was dissolved by the military. the riot was, in fact, not of a violent nature. however, it was perceived as such by the regent duke charles and gustaf adolf reuterholm, who were reportedly greatly frightened, and it is resulted in the abortion of the enlightened policy of the guardian government: nils henric liljensparre lost his position for having frightened the duke-regent by exaggerating the riot, ebel was exiled and five other sentenced to prison on water and bread, all crowds and private clubs were banned and public bars, pubs and other gathering places were to be closed at nine o'clock. henrieta delavrancea (1897–1987) was a romanian architect and one of the first female architects admitted to the superior school of architecture in bucharest, but because of the suspension of her classes during world war i, she was not the first female to graduate. she was one of the most known women architects in romania and a significant contributor to the modernist school of romanian architecture, until state-controlled design in the communist era curtailed individuality. henrieta delavrancea was born on 19 october 1897 in bucharest, romania to maria lupaşcu and barbu ștefănescu delavrancea because her family was from the upper levels of society and her father was both a politician and a literary figure, delavrancea grew up surrounded by noted members of romanian society. one of those early mentors was ion mincu, one of the most known romanian architects and proponents of preservation of the nationalist identity for architecture. in 1913, she enrolled in the superior school of architecture, in a class of twenty, with only one other woman, marioara ioanovici. though she was one of the first women admitted, she suspended her studies in 1916 because of the war. during world war i, she served as a nurse and married emile gibory in 1918. they lived briefly in paris and then moved to the mountains, living in nehoiu. after two years, they moved to the area of , but in 1924, delavrancea decided to return to her studies. in the 1926-1927 term, she graduated with her diploma and claimed afterward to be the fourth female architect of the country after “ada zăgănescu, virginia andreescu and mimi friedman”. this may or may not be accurate as the romanian architects society, showed six female registrants in 1924: maria cotescu, irineu maria friedman, virginia andreescu haret, maria hogas, antonetta ioanovici and ada zăgănescu. on the other hand, delavrancea designed her first home, called the "german house" in 1921 before she finished school while living in nehoiu. she also might have confused the names, as zăgănescu studied privately with ion mincu and is acknowledged as the first practicing female architect, andreescu-haret is recognized as the first graduate of the superior school in 1919 and the first registered female architect, and cotescu graduated from the high school of architecture in bucharest in 1922. her next project was her own home on mihai eminescu street, which she designed in 1925. delavrancea designed many private and public buildings, among them 22 seaside houses in balcic including homes for general gheorghe rasoviceanu where gheorghe petrașcu painted between 1934 and 1935, , ion pillat and . she also designed a renovation to the city hall, the pavilion of the border guards, and the tea pavilion at the balchik palace, designed for queen marie of romania. she built 28 villas throughout the country; 5 churches, including the renovation of the in bucharest; the snagov palace for prince nicholas; worked on at least three health facilities—the on the outskirts of bucharest, the filantropia hospital and the headquarters of the hygiene and public health institute; the capitol cinema in bucharest; the french consulate in bucharest; the prefecture office in oraviţa and many others. delavrancea was one of the best known women architects in romania and a significant contributor to the modernist movement. her many villas in the seaside town of balcic (now balchik, bulgaria) built between 1934-38 are especially notable, taking traditional forms and local motifs and reinterpreting them in functional, modern design. here she used rubble stone retaining walls and bases, low pitched tiled roof with wide projecting cornices, combined with plain white rectangular walls. because of the unique foundation requirements of building on the coast, she employed corbelling and consoling techniques for support. the constantiniu house, built in 1935, is the most dramatically site and well known. in bucharest one of her notable designs was a new modernist facade to the capitol theatre on boulevardul regina elisabeta, built in 1938. the design originally included a striking off-centre vertical fin, highlighted by neon. her villa for professor victor vâlcovici, at strada londra 44, built in 1937-38, with its clean lines and promenet curved corner window, is one of the most often reproduced images of modernist houses in bucharest. after world war ii, she worked on rehabilitation and preservation projects. during the communist era, she worked for 19 years on the design team of the ministry of health, as private practice was banned and design was controlled by the state until 1989. delavrancea-gibory, died on 26 march 1987 in bucharest. several exhibitions featuring her work have been held since her death. in 2011, a book entitled "henrieta delavrancea gibory arhitectură 1930-1940" edited by militza sion featured drawings and buildings by delavrancea-gibory. indra diaconu jean-jacques tillmann (1935 – 1 october 2015) was a swiss news reporter. born in geneva, tillman studied in nyon, geneva, and athens, after which he began reporting for télévision suisse romande in 1963. he specialized in soccer and sports in general. he died on 1 october 2015 in lausanne. niall de buitléar (born 1983) is an irish artist working in sculpture, painting, and drawing. de buitléar is a graduate of the dublin institute of technology. he was awarded a studio membership at temple bar gallery and studios from 2011–14. de buitléar was also the winner of the fourth annual wexford arts centre emerging visual artist award in 2009 and the irish artists’ residential studio award 2009 – 2010 at the red stables in st anne’s park, dublin. writing about his exhibitions, the irish times art critic aidan dunne, described de buitléar’s paintings as "built from intricate concentric patterns, [that] are geometric but also suggestive of organic processes. they equate to the world outside: complex and orderly but also contingent and unpredictable. their handmade precision makes them visually fascinating". dunne has also written that "de buitléar’s paintings and sculptures start with a basic geometric motif, the circle. this circular unit reverberates through varieties of echoing, concentric patterns. on the one hand the patterning is absolutely strict, retaining its geometric basis. on the other, the works are made by hand, so that tiny fluctuations of touch, the fallibility of the human hand, is part of the overall character of the works. in fact, it’s essential to their character." "cat and mouse" is a science fiction novelette by ralph williams. originally published in the june 1959 issue of "astounding science fiction", it was nominated for, but did not win, the 1960 hugo award for best short fiction. the story is set in alaska. its main protagonist is ed brown, a trapper who has just begun a winter's stay in the wooded mountains. he soon discovers a "hole" into another world. at this point in the story, the reader has already been told about the hole and the other world. the other world, named in the story only as world 7, is being used by an alien civilization as an experimental ground for transplanting intelligent life from different planets. however, world 7 has inadvertently been infested with a harn, an intelligent predator. the entity overseeing the planet, known in the story only as the warden, needs to eliminate the harn and decides that the easiest way to do this is to open a portal from world 7 to earth. the warden's intention is to have the people of earth kill the harn. his curiosity piqued by what he sees through the portal, ed brown passes through and investigates the other world. he soon comes into conflict with the harn, but escapes back through to earth. the harn follows him through the portal and a final fight takes place in the mountains of alaska. the harn is a colony organism that can produce individuals of different sizes, shapes, and armaments, though it is limited by available resources. as the conflict develops, it tries to win by producing two large, lethal individuals. ed, being prepared for a winter in a hostile landscape, has several firearms with him, including shotguns, hunting rifles and light "varmint" guns. he has "snakeproof" pants and other backwoods equipment. the creatures are also allergic to tobacco: he can drive off some of the smaller ones by spitting tobacco juice at them. the narrative dwells on ed's need to conserve ammunition by not wasting heavy ammo on small targets. he is able to drive back most of the attacks, but is left with limited ammunition just as the harn activates the final attackers. realizing that the creature must have a central controller, he goes to world 7 while the harn is mostly on earth. he finds a burrow by following tracks, pours gasoline in and lights it. just then the final attackers appear. they are huge bear-like creatures with fangs, claws, and six legs. ed shoots one several times with his rifle but is injured as it makes a dying lunge. the second creature appears, but fortunately the harn dies, and it collapses. the final scene has ed watching as a stranger looks at the battlefield, smiles at him and disappears. this is evidently the warden. ed returns to his normal routine. in addition to its original appearance in "astounding science fiction", "cat and mouse" appeared in the november 1959 issue of the british version of "astounding". the novelette has never been anthologized, nor has it been included in any collection devoted to williams' work (indeed, no such collection has ever been published). in 2011, "cat and mouse" was published as a chapbook by aegypan press. the foregoing was taken from the story's listing in the internet speculative fiction database (for which see the external links section below). more detail on its publication history can be found at that listing. little is known about ralph williams. what little is known comes from a letter written by one of his sons to a science-fiction web site. in that letter, the son reports that his father's actual name was ralph william slone and that he died in 1959 (at age 45) while fishing on kachemak bay (in alaska). "cat and mouse" was the last of williams' stories to be published. more detail on his publication history can be found at his listing in the internet speculative fiction database (for which see the external links section below). broad hollow run is a tributary of bowman creek in wyoming county, pennsylvania, in the united states. it is approximately long and flows through noxen township. the watershed of the stream has an area of . the surficial geology in the vicinity of the stream consists of alluvium, alluvial fan, and wisconsinan till. its watershed is designated as a high-quality coldwater fishery and a migratory fishery. broad hollow run begins in a deep valley in noxen township. it flows north-northwest for several hundred feet before turning north-northeast and north for a few tenths of a mile. in this reach, the valley of the stream becomes much shallower on one side. the stream then turns north-northeast again. several tenths of a mile further downstream, it enters the valley of bowman creek and reaches its confluence with bowman creek. broad hollow run joins bowman creek upstream of its mouth. the elevation near the mouth of broad hollow run is above sea level. the elevation near the source of broad hollow run is between above sea level. the surficial geology near the mouth of broad hollow run consists of alluvium (which contains stratified sand, silt, gravel, and some boulders) and a till known as wisconsinan till. further upstream, the surficial geology consists of wisconsinan till and alluvial fan, some of which is underlain by glacial lake clays. the surficial geology at the headwaters consists entirely of wisconsinan till. broad hollow run is in the vicinity of the north mountain region. the watershed of broad hollow run has an area of . the stream is entirely within the united states geological survey quadrangle of noxen. its mouth is located near stull. broad hollow run attains the requirements for use by aquatic life. broad hollow run was entered into the geographic names information system on august 2, 1979. its identifier in the geographic names information system is 1198477. the drainage basin of broad hollow run is designated as a high-quality coldwater fishery and a migratory fishery. wild trout naturally reproduce in the stream from its headwaters downstream to its mouth. bernie tom collins (born may 30, 1942) is an american music producer and publisher in nashville, tennessee who has received three cma awards as producer of the year, and seven grammy nominations. he produced a steady stream of country music hits over a 30-year span from artists including ronnie milsap, barbara mandrell, sylvia, tom t. hall, jim ed brown, james galway, marie osmond, and steve wariner. collins served as chairman of the board of the cma in 1979 and 1980. in 1982 alone, collins produced four number one country hits: "nobody" (sylvia); "i wouldn't have missed it for the world" and "any day now" (ronnie milsap); and "'till you're gone" (barbara mandrell). his publishing company, tom collins music, received bmi's "robert j. burton award" in 1983 for "most performed song of the year", "nobody", by sylvia. during the period from 1970 to 1990, collins' catalog holdings grew to make him one of nashville's most successful independent producers. collins was born and raised in lenoir city, tennessee, which lies along the tennessee river southwest of knoxville and is part of the knoxville metropolitan area. he attended the university of tennessee in knoxville and took scientific courses with the idea of attending dental school, but was always interested in music. he played trumpet in the university of tennessee band and was a member of the sigma chi fraternity. he directed the fraternity's chorus in annual singing competitions. he was honored as a "significant sig" in 1983, a national honor given by the fraternity to notable members. though collins received a bachelor of science degree, he was drawn to pursue a career in the business side of music. collins moved to nashville in 1970 and was hired at pi-gem music by jack d. johnson. johnson was a nashville talent manager who, in 1964, discovered and signed singer charley pride, then an ex-baseball player. pride achieved enormous success in country music, received a star in the hollywood walk of fame in 1999, and was inducted into the country music hall of fame in 2000. collins learned from johnson how to handle the career of a major star. while attending a rock music club called the "whisky a go go" in 1972, charley pride heard a performance by ronnie milsap, a r&b-minded singer who impressed him. pride spoke to milsap, suggesting that a change of genre might help his career, and that he would make a good country singer. at that time, milsap was living in memphis, tennessee and had been performing for about three years at a nightclub called "t.j.'s". he had already landed two or three record deals, but had enjoyed little success and was frustrated about a lack of progress in his career. tom collins heard milsap perform in memphis and offered a proposal, entailing milsap moving to nashville, embracing country music, signing with a new label, and the potential of booking a nashville venue for live performances. collins would produce the recordings, jerry bradley would sign him to the rca record label, and jack johnson would be his manager. to do so, milsap had to buy his way out of an existing management contract. milsap stated, "i lost my house, everything i had worked for, and was $20,000 in debt. i came to nashville broke, busted and in high spirits that i could make something of myself". in 1973, after milsap's acceptance of the offer, collins produced a single consisting of "(all together now) let's fall apart" on the a-side , and "i hate you" on the b-side. these songs were released on an album called "where my heart is" – milsap's first album to chart, reaching #5 on the "billboard" country charts. in 1975, collins and johnson won cma's producer of the year award for their collaboration on this recording. from this point, collins became the sole producer of scores of milsap's hits, a relationship which lasted many years. of collins, milsap said, "he knows me. he knows when to push and when to lay back". collins, partnering with charley pride, bought pi-gem song publishing. pi-gem music was sold to welk music group in 1981, after which collins formed his own company, "tom collins music, inc.". some of the top songwriters at pi-gem went with collins in his new endeavor, notably grammy-nominated writers kye fleming and dennis morgan. it was an advantage for collins to have the fleming/morgan writers working with him on a daily basis. fleming stated, "if he's cut a couple of songs on somebody and all of a sudden he says we need a song that's 'more country' than this, or 'more pop' or whatever to fill out an album, then he can tell us." not only could collins custom tailor the songs to each artist, but the writers benefited because their creations were then much more likely to be recorded by established artists. in the summer of 1980, collins told his writers he wanted a new song for ronnie milsap that featured the region of western north carolina where milsap was born and raised. he suggested "appalachian rain" as a possible title. fleming and morgan decided to let the geographical spot be an image that would stimulate the imagination of the listener, without a lot of detail, reminiscent of jimmy webb's song "wichita lineman". the song ultimately produced was "smoky mountain rain" – one of milsap's signature songs and a number one hit on both the country charts and the billboard adult contemporary charts. rolling stone listed it as one of the "100 greatest country songs of all time". "smoky mountain rain" was chosen by the tennessee state legislature in 2010 as the eighth official state song. this was only one of milsap's 40 number one hits produced by tom collins, which also include: "what a difference you've made in my life", "daydreams about night things", "lost in the fifties tonight (in the still of the night)", "i wouldn't have missed it for the world", "she keeps the home fires burning", "it was almost like a song", "stranger in my house", "pure love", and "(there's) no gettin' over me". in the mid 1970s, future hall of famer barbara mandrell had had some successful songs but wanted something more. she became a client of collins, changed labels, and things began to improve. in 1975, collins produced her first top five record with the single "standing room only". collins steered her to a more commercial "pop" sound, sometimes referred to as "countrypolitan". collins stated, "we created our own sound and style with barbara mandrell ... she is country ... but she is selling in almost every market existing, having hit billboard's soul, country, pop, and easy listening charts.". collins also said that country music tends run in cycles between more traditional sound and more pop and that "you need to stay just a half-step ahead of the trend". mandrell's first number one hit was "sleeping single in a double bed", written by kye fleming and dennis morgan and produced by collins in 1978. the same writing duo, with collins as producer, followed with two additional number one country charts hits in 1980 and 1981: "years" and "i was country when country wasn't cool". collins produced 19 albums for mandrell. in january 1976, collins hired sylvia jane hutton (née kirby) as his receptionist, then in her 20s. prior to moving to nashville from kokomo, indiana, she aspired to be a singer and practiced singing into a deodorant bottle "microphone" in front of a mirror. she repeatedly asked collins if she could make a record for him. she was 35 pounds overweight at 5' 5", wore no makeup, and had a history of surviving on a diet of krispy kreme doughnuts and cornflakes. collins was initially unimpressed with her singing, but decided to give her a chance if she would agree to lose some weight. he let her sing on some demo sessions and began to see developing potential, saying, "she knew what she was going to have to give to be a success". he helped her secure a recording contract with rca. kirby chose to appear professionally only by her first name, "sylvia", and recorded her first album, "drifter", in 1981. the title song went to number one. three other songs from "drifter" reached the top 10: "the matador" (#7), "heart on the mend" (#8) and "tumbleweed" (#10). her second album, "just sylvia", featured the song "nobody" which rose to number one on the country charts and was a crossover hit which reached #15 on the pop charts. it also won her a grammy nomination for best female country vocal performance, and was awarded bmi's song of the year for receiving more radio air play than any other song that year. in 1982 she was named female vocalist of the year by the academy of country music. collins acquired the song catalog of tom t. hall in 1991. in 1999 he sold tom collins music, hallnote music, and collins court music to acuff-rose publications. as of 2015, all songs under the umbrella of these catalogs belong to sony/atv music publishing. collins retired from the music business, and, as of 2015, was pursuing several hobbies including tennis and collecting art. l. b. day (february 22, 1932 – october 24, 1986) was an american labor union leader and elected official in the state of oregon. day served as an international brotherhood of teamsters official, state representative, state senator, and appointed official in both the oregon state executive office and the u.s. department of the interior. a longtime supporter of the oregon state fair, the l. b. day comcast amphitheatre on the oregon state fairgrounds in salem is named in his honor. day was born in omaha, nebraska to neva and luther b. day (1889 – 1938), who was a nebraska supreme court justice. day attended the university of nebraska for a year before moving to oregon. he graduated from willamette university in 1958, earning a b.a. in political science and history. he attended willamette law school for a year before turning his attention full-time to union activism. day began working for teamsters local 670 in 1958. this local represented cannery workers in oregon's willamette valley. author brent walth noted that day viewed his role with the teamsters as a crusader, working to clean up a union often accused of connections to organized crime. day's brother frank noted day's "talent for persuading people." day quickly rose from working as a union organizer of cannery workers to serving as secretary-general of the local. day was elected to the oregon house of representatives as a democrat in 1964, representing salem's house district 31. he was reelected in 1966 and 1968 before deciding to focus once more upon his union duties. in 1967, he switched parties and became a republican. walth describes this shift as one of practicality: "the republicans were in charge of the house and l.b. day wanted to win." in 1970, day was appointed as a regional director for the u.s. department of the interior under interior secretary walter hickel. when president richard nixon fired hickel, day returned to oregon and was appointed soon after to serve as governor tom mccall's first director of the newly formed oregon department of environmental quality. during 1973 negotiations over oregon's landmark comprehensive land-use planning legislation, senate bill 100, day played a vital role in developing the compromises necessary to move sb 100 through the senate. he then served as the first chairman of the new state land conservation and development commission in 1974. in 1977, day was appointed to the oregon state senate to fill the term of wallace carson following carson's appointment to the marion county circuit court. he was reelected to district 16 of the oregon senate in his own right in 1978 and 1982. day was running for reelection at the time of his death, from a heart attack suffered during a fundraiser for fellow salem republican c. t. "cub" houck. day was known as a hard working, irascible, and ornery public figure noted for his intensity. governor tom mccall once said of his friend and political ally, "you have to understand l. b. he starts negotiations at the death struggle." in the literature for his 1986 reelection campaign, day admitted "i have been accused of being aggressive to a fault. no question that is a failing," he went on, "but my temperature rises when i see time wasted, money frittered away and elected officials dodging issues." day and his wife cindy had one son, frank. "l. b." was his full given name. he served four years in the u.s. navy. despite his reputation as a ruthless politician, day had a softer side — and a sense of humor. each christmas in the early 1980s, day, oregon governor victor atiyeh, and salem "statesman-journal" political columnist ron blankenbaker delivered christmas presents to the needy using proceeds from "pompous twit" awards bestowed annually by blankenbaker upon elected officials, journalists, and others. the "twit of the year" was asked to donate time and money to help the needy. strongyloides lutrae is a parasitic

university, sofwan served as the mayor of the temanggung regency from 1964 until 1978. he replaced eddy sabara as the governor of the province. he died on 3 october 2015 in jakarta due to complications from a disease. the hancock apartment building. also known as the schaffer apartments, is a historic mixed-used retail and residential apartment building at 116-118 hancock street and 130 tyler street on the east side of springfield, massachusetts. built in 1912, it is good local example of an early 20th-century classical revival apartment house, built as the city's outer neighborhoods grew as streetcar suburbs. the building was listed on the national register of historic places in 2015. the hancock apartment building is located in springfield's old hill neighborhood, at the northwest corner of tyler and hancock streets. it is a four-story brick structure, with an exterior of orange brick, a pressed metal cornice, and a flat roof. decorative brick banding joins the tops of the windows, and runs just below the sills of the upper-level windows. some of the upper-level windows are set in decorative metal panels in groups of three. the building underwent a certified historic rehabilitation in 2014, in which interior features such as trim and pressed metal ceilings were preserved. the building was constructed in 1911-12 to a design by b. edward geckler, a local architect whose works include apartment blocks like this, single-family residences, commercial buildings, and churches both in springfield and nearby longmeadow. it was built for tessie schaffer & company, a consortium of eastern european jewish immigrants. it originally housed a dry goods store in the corner retail space. many of the early residents were either native-born americans or french-canadian immigrants. elizabeth carter brooks (1867-1951) was an african american educator, social activist and architect. she was passionate about helping other african americans achieve personal success and was one of the first to recognize the importance of preserving historical buildings in the united states. brooks was "one of the few black women of the era who could be considered both architect and patron." brooks was born in new bedford, massachusetts, which was an area of the country well-known at the time for providing refuge, resources, education and employment for former slaves. her mother, martha webb, had been a former slave owned by president john tyler. webb was involved with the underground railroad. her daughter went on to develop a "passion for equality" that lasted her entire life. brooks attended new bedford high school, and then went on to the swain free school, which provided students with a strong foundation in design and architecture skills. she then went on to become the first african american graduate of the harrington normal school for teachers. brooks began teaching in the early 1890s at howard's orphan home or howard colored orphan asylum in brooklyn, which was founded and run by african americans. in 1895, she started working with the national association of colored women's clubs (nacwc). she became the secretary of the convention in 1896 and vice-president from 1906 to 1908. she was president of nacwc from 1908 until 1912. brooks also joined the national association for the advancement of colored people (naacp) shortly after it was founded and later created her own naacp chapter in new bedford. she would be honored as a president emeritus of the new bedford naacp in 1948. brooks was one of the founders of the new england federation of women's clubs (later the northeastern federation of colored women's clubs). she was president for over 27 years and during her time in the club, "oversaw the sponsorship of community centers, scholarship funds, day care centers, and other services needed by the community." in 1897, brooks helped open the new bedford home for the aged, which at first had several temporary locations. in addition, brooks paid the rent for the home by herself for the first six months. afterwards, the women's loyal union "assumed the responsibility for maintaining the new bedford home for the aged." brooks eventually designed the colonial style permanent home for its final location at 396 middle street. the women's loyal union, which brooks was involved with, continued to helped support the home at the new location. brooks became the first president of the home and of the women's loyal union, and remained in these roles until 1930. the building itself is still standing in new bedford and is two and half stories tall, topped with a hip roof, six dormers and a front facade with a flat-roofed portico. brooks began teaching again, this time at the taylor school in 1901 where she became the first african american teacher in new bedford. in 1918, she was recruited by the war council of the national board of the ywca to supervise and oversee the building of the phillis wheatley ywca in washington, d.c. in 1929, she retired from teaching. that same year, she married w. sampson brooks, who was the bishop of the african methodist episcopal denomination of the bethel church. she and her husband moved to san antonio, where they lived together until her husband's death in 1934. after that, she moved back to new bedford. in 1939 she began her work on preserving black heritage. brooks felt that "monuments to 'race history' were an important part of the african american landscape and deserved to be preserved. she bought the home of william h. carney and turned the home into a memorial. after her death in 1951, the city of new bedford honored her by naming a school after her in 1957. the nsjwp fights against what it believes to be jewish influence on both the world stage and in national affairs. the party advocates for the abolishment of the monarchy and the restoration of the shōgunate, as it believes that the imperial house of japan became subservient to international jewry following world war ii, and believes that the shogunate is the japanese equivlant of the führer principle. the nsjwp also campaigns against economic refugees, race mixing, and freemasonry. the party also campaigns for what it calls "corporatistic autarky". the david hyatt van dolah house (locally known as the castle) is a historic house located at 10 north spencer street in lexington, illinois. the house was built in 1898 for david hyatt van dolah, a prominent local landowner best known as an importer and broker of french horses. architect george h. miller, one of the most well-regarded architects in the bloomington area, and his partner james e. fisher designed the house in the queen anne style. the front of the house features a large round turret on one corner, a wraparound porch, and a large stepped gable opposite the turret. the house's exterior is decorated with brickwork patterns, a slight departure from the ornamental woodwork usually used to side queen anne homes. the hipped roof of the house features cross gables, a cone atop the turret, and several pinnacles and spires. the house was added to the national register of historic places on september 14, 2015. mornington was a british merchant vessel built of teak and launched in 1799 at calcutta. she made three voyages under charter to the british east india company (eic). on the third french privateers twice captured her and royal navy vessels twice recaptured her. a fire destroyed her in 1815. under the command of captain james carnegy (or carnageie), "mornington" left calcutta on 30 december 1799. she was at saugor on 23 january 1800, reached st helena on 8 june, and arrived at the downs on 9 september. on 3 december 1800 "mornington" sailed from england for bombay and bengal. on 14 january 1801 was off ferrol serving as escort for "mornington", , and , which were bound for india, and a whaler. they encountered a small spanish ship that "argo" captured. captain george kelso was in the hugli river on 19 may 1801. on 23 june "mornington" was at kedgeree, and on 19 july saugor. by 30 october she had reached the cape of good hope, and by 20 november she was at st helena. she arrived at the downs on 19 january 1802. the "united company of merchants of england trading to the east indies" offered 28,966 bags of rice for sale on 25 march. the rice had come in on , "melville castle", , and "mornington". "mornington" entered "lloyd's register" in the supplemental pages to the 1802 volume with "kelsa", master, and "fairly", owner. she was listed as being of 750 tons and three years old. captain kelso sailed for madras on 16 may 1804. she left bengal on 5 july in company with the country ship , and "maria", "northampton", and "princess mary". the french privateer nicholas surcouf in "caroline" captured "mornington" on 14 august 1804. however, recaptured "mornington", before captain fallonard of the brig "île de france" recaptured "mornington". fallonard took "mornington", of 600 tons and six guns, into port nord-ouest. the british recaptured "mornington" yet again. "mornington" was reported at st helena on 6 october, and completed her voyage on 18 december 1804. captain george kelso received a letter of marque for "mornington" on 22 february 1805. the "register of shipping" of 1805 carries "mornington", of 750 tons, built in calcutta in 1798. it gives her master as kelsa, and her owners as fairlie & co. "lloyd's register" has the same information, except it gives the year of launch as 1799. "mornington" was reported at st helena on 23 september 1810. captain david dunlop, of "mornington", was reported to have died at calcutta on 22 september 1809, but that appears to have been in error as he remains listed as "mornington"s captain until her loss. from 1810 or so on "mornington" appears in lists of vessels based at calcutta. she participated as one of the transports in the british reduction of java, under the auspices of lord minto. she was in the second division, which left malacca on 7 june 1811. "mornington" sailed for bengal on 24 june 1815. she burnt off nursapore (narsapuram: ) in october 1815. on 27 february 1816, "lloyd's list" reported that "mornington", dunlop, master, had been burnt in the bay of bengal. the loss of "mornington" to fire, after the similar loss of and later some other vessels, all on outward bound voyages, led the calcutta insurance office to petition the bengal government to investigate the matter. the insurers suspected arson by lascars impressed or induced to serve on the vessels. the molecular formula chos may refer to: the 2016 america east men's basketball tournament took place on march 2, 7, and 12, 2016. the entire tournament took place on campus sites with the higher-seeded school hosting each game throughout the championship. the winner of the championship game earned an automatic bid to the 2016 ncaa tournament. teams were seeded by conference record, with ties broken by record between the tied teams followed by record against the regular-season champion, if necessary. teams will reseed after each round with highest remaining seeds receiving home court advantage. emotion recognition is the process of identifying human emotion. people vary widely in their accuracy at recognizing the emotions of others. use of technology to help people with emotion recognition is a relatively nascent research area. generally, the technology works best if it uses multiple modalities in context. to date, the most work has been conducted on automating the recognition of facial expressions from video, spoken expressions from audio, written expressions from text, and physiology as measured by wearables. humans show a great deal of variability in their abilities to recognize emotion. a key point to keep in mind when learning about automated emotion recognition is that there are several sources of "ground truth," or truth about what the real emotion is. suppose we are trying to recognize the emotions of alex. one source is "what would most people say that alex is feeling?" in this case, the 'truth' may not correspond to what alex feels, but may correspond to what most people would say it looks like alex feels. for example, alex may actually feel sad, but he puts on a big smile and then most people say he looks happy. if an automated method achieves the same results as a group of observers it may be considered accurate, even if it does not actually measure what alex truly feels. another source of 'truth' is to ask alex what he truly feels. this works if alex has a good sense of his internal state, and wants to tell you what it is, and is capable of putting it accurately into words or a number. however, some people are alexithymic and do not have a good sense of their internal feelings, or they are not able to communicate them accurately with words and numbers. in general, getting to the truth of what emotion is actually present can take some work, can vary depending on the criteria that are selected, and will usually involve maintaining some level of uncertainty. decades of scientific research have been conducted developing and evaluating methods for automated emotion recognition. there is now an extensive literature proposing and evaluating hundreds of different kinds of methods, leveraging techniques from multiple areas, such as signal processing, machine learning, computer vision, and speech processing. different methodologies and techniques may be employed to interpret emotion such as bayesian networks. , gaussian mixture models and hidden markov models. the accuracy of emotion recognition is usually improved when it combines the analysis of human expressions from multimodal forms such as texts, physiology, audio, or video. different emotion types are detected through the integration of information from facial expressions, body movement and gestures, and speech. the technology is said to contribute in the emergence of the so-called emotional or emotive internet. the existing approaches in emotion recognition to classify certain emotion types can be generally classified into three main categories: knowledge-based techniques, statistical methods, and hybrid approaches. knowledge-based techniques (sometimes referred to as lexicon-based techniques), utilize domain knowledge and the semantic and syntactic characteristics of language in order to detect certain emotion types. in this approach, it is common to use knowledge-based resources during the emotion classification process such as wordnet, senticnet, conceptnet, and emotinet, to name a few. one of the advantages of this approach is the accessibility and economy brought about by the large availability of such knowledge-based resources. a limitation of this technique on the other hand, is its inability to handle concept nuances and complex linguistic rules. knowledge-based techniques can be mainly classified into two categories: dictionary-based and corpus-based approaches. dictionary-based approaches find opinion or emotion seed words in a dictionary and search for their synonyms and antonyms to expand the initial list of opinions or emotions. corpus-based approaches on the other hand, start with a seed list of opinion or emotion words, and expand the database by finding other words with context-specific characteristics in a large corpus. while corpus-based approaches take into account context, their performance still vary in different domains since a word in one domain can have a different orientation in another domain. statistical methods commonly involve the use of different supervised machine learning algorithms in which a large set of annotated data is fed into the algorithms for the system to learn and predict the appropriate emotion types. machine learning algorithms generally provide more reasonable classification accuracy compared to other approaches, but one of the challenges in achieving good results in the classification process, is the need to have a sufficiently large training set. some of the most commonly used machine learning algorithms include support vector machines (svm), naive bayes, and maximum entropy. deep learning, which is under the unsupervised family of machine learning, is also widely employed in emotion recognition. well-known deep learning algorithms include different architectures of artificial neural network (ann) such as convolutional neural network (cnn), long short-term memory (lstm), and extreme learning machine (elm). the popularity of deep learning approaches in the domain of emotion recognition may be mainly attributed to its success in related applications such as in computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing (nlp). hybrid approaches in emotion recognition are essentially a combination of knowledge-based techniques and statistical methods, which exploit complementary characteristics from both techniques. some of the works that have applied an ensemble of knowledge-driven linguistic elements and statistical methods include sentic computing and ifeel, both of which have adopted the concept-level knowledge-based resource senticnet. the role of such knowledge-based resources in the implementation of hybrid approaches is highly important in the emotion classification process. since hybrid techniques gain from the benefits offered by both knowledge-based and statistical approaches, they tend to have better classification performance as opposed to employing knowledge-based or statistical methods independently. a downside of using hybrid techniques however, is the computational complexity during the classification process. data is an integral part of the existing approaches in emotion recognition and in most cases it is a challenge to obtain annotated data that is necessary to train machine learning algorithms. for the task of classifying different emotion types from multimodal sources in the form of texts, audio, videos or physiological signals, the following datasets are available: emotion recognition is used in society for a variety of reasons. affectiva, which spun out of mit, provides artificial intelligence software that makes it more efficient to do tasks previously done manually by people, mainly to gather facial expression and vocal expression information related to specific contexts where viewers have consented to share this information. for example, instead of filling out a lengthy survey about how you feel at each point watching an educational video or advertisement, you can consent to have a camera watch your face and listen to what you say, and note during which parts of the experience you show expressions such as boredom, interest, confusion, or smiling. (note that this does not imply it is reading your innermost feelings -- it only reads what you express outwardly.) other uses by affectiva include helping children with autism, helping people who are blind to read facial expressions, helping robots interact more intelligently with people, and monitoring signs of attention while driving in an effort to enhance driver safety. a patent filed by snapchat in 2015 describes a method of extracting data about crowds at public events by performing algorithmic emotion recognition on users' geotagged selfies. emotient was a startup company which applied emotion recognition to reading frowns, smiles, and other expressions on faces, namely artificial intelligence to predict "attitudes and actions based on facial expressions". apple bought emotient in 2016 and uses emotion recognition technology to enhance the emotional intelligence of its products. nviso provides real-time emotion recognition for web and mobile applications through a real-time api. visage technologies ab offers emotion estimation as a part of their visage sdk for marketing and scientific research and similar purposes. eyeris is an emotion recognition company that works with embedded system manufacturers including car makers and social robotic companies on integrating its face analytics and emotion recognition software; as well as with video content creators to help them measure the perceived effectiveness of their short and long form video creative. many products also exist to aggregate information from emotions communicated online, including via "like" button presses and via counts of positive and negative phrases in text " and affect recognition is increasingly used in some kinds of games and virtual reality, both for educational purposes and to give players more natural control over their social avatars. aguas blancas is a small village located south of lavalleja, uruguay. aguas blancas is an area of dam located at km 91 of the map 8, is 28 km from the provincial capital minas. you can access it via the scenic route route 81. the dam was built on the waters of the arroyo mataojo, located in the sierra del abra de zabaleta. being a dam area is ideal for fishing and boating. it is a place visited on weekends to rest and enjoy nature. there is in place a municipal campsite with pitches, electricity, potable water, bathrooms with hot

types of birds. this site is located at a strategic point since you can get from punta del este on national route route 60 and montevideo on national route map 8. it is near solis mataojo town with all the essential services. also this place is in the mystical environment of buddhist temple located on top of a hill, you can visit. victoriano arizapana huayhua is a quechua master rope bridge engineer (quechua: ""), notable for being lead builder of the q'iswa chaka (quechua for "rope bridge") which is the last remaining traditionally built inca rope bridge and a part of the historical qhapaq ñan inca road network. he is also a teacher and cultural figure, preserving and transmitting to future generations the bridgebuilding techniques passed to him by his ancestors. because it is constructed from rope made of grass, the q'iswa chaka, which spans the apurímac river, must be rebuilt by the local community every year. aside from being the last of its kind, the bridge is significant as an example of the advanced engineering practices of the inca people which predated european contact. arizapana leads these efforts, assisted by fellow bridge architect eleutario ccallo tapia, beginning on the second week of june and lasts for three days; over 1,000 people are involved in the construction, including tasks such as performing rituals and making the rope. according to arizapana, he learned his craft from his grandfather and father, each of whom had been lead bridge builders before they died and each passed the position by birthright on to their son. similarly, arizapana has been teaching the skills to his son, and states that it will be his job to keep the bridge after he is gone. on august 12, 2010, the q'iswa chaka was named part of peru's national cultural patrimony, and arizapana was awarded the title of "personalidad meritoria de la cultura peruana" (meritorious person of peruvian culture) by the peru ministry of culture. in 2013, the "knowledge, skills and rituals related to the annual renewal of the q’eswachaka bridge," of which arizapana is a primary living example, was named to the unesco representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. in january, 2012, arizapana was the subject of news when it was reported that he had been prevented from boarding a flight from lima to cusco because of his traditional dress, and this action was denounced by the ministry of culture. in 2015, the smithsonian folklife festival featured the q'iswa chaka, and arizapana, ccallo, and many of their fellow bridge engineers and builders traveled to washington, d.c. to participate. as part of the festival, arizapana's team created an inca rope bridge on the national mall using identical construction methods as for the q'iswa chaka. after the festival's completion, the finished bridge was donated to the collection of the smithsonian national museum of the american indian, with one section going on display as part of the exhibit "the great inka road: engineering an empire", and another section planned to be exhibited in the imaginations activity center for children at the museum's george gustav heye center in new york city. this is a list of industries, services, products, or companies that have been nationalized by country. most utilities were nationally owned before being privatized in 1994. on the break-up of yugoslavia, the hdz government nationalized private agricultural property and rezoned it under the guise of forest statesmanship, when their publicly professed agenda was to only complete the nationalization of the communists. much of this land is in the process of being reinstated and the model rethought. after the cuban revolution of 1959 the castro government gradually expropriated all foreign-owned private companies, most of which were owned by american corporations and individuals. the immediate trigger was the refusal by american owned oil refineries to refine the crude received from the soviet union. faced with the prospect of no oil, cuba nationalized the three american refineries. this action escalated the us embargo on cuba, which responded by nationalizing all american owned property. eventually all cuban private property, largely owned by cubans sympathetic to the batista led dictatorship, was nationalized. from 1966-68, the castro government nationalized all remaining privately owned businesses in cuba, down to the level of street vendors. castro had offered bonds at 4.5% interest over twenty years to u.s. companies, but u.s. ambassador philip bonsal requested the compensation up front and rejected the offer. a minor amount of $1.3 million, was paid to u.s. interests before deteriorating relations ended all cooperation between the two governments. the u.s. established a registry of claims against the cuban government, ultimately developing files on 5,911 specific companies. the cuban government has refused to discuss the compensation of u.s. claims and the u.s. government continues to insist on compensation for u.s. companies. nationalisation dates back to the 'regies' or state monopolies organized under the "ancien régime", for example, the monopoly on tobacco sales. communications companies france telecom and la poste are relics of the state postal and telecommunications monopolies. there was a major expansion of the nationalised sector following world war ii. a second wave followed in 1982. the paris regional transport operator, ratp group, can also be counted as a nationalised industry. the railways were nationalised after world war i. partial privatisation of deutsche bahn is currently underway, as of 2008. large sections of the mining, banking, and shipping industries either became dependent on government money or were placed entirely under care of the weimar republic in the wake of the great depression; these were later reprivatized between 1934-1937 by the nazi regime. nationalization under nazi germany was substantial. over 500 major companies were either nationalized or absorbed by state-owned companies, one of the largest being the hermann göring works (iron), mostly operated by the nazi party apparatus. most enterprises in east germany were nationalised following world war ii. after reunification, an agency, treuhand, was established to return them to private ownership, however many were liquidated. the nationalised banks were credited by many, including former finance minister p. chidambaram, to have helped the indian economy withstand the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. railways were nationalised in the 1940s as córas iompair éireann. the regime of benito mussolini extended nationalisation, creating the istituto per la ricostruzione industriale (iri) as a state holding company for struggling firms, including the car maker alfa romeo. a parallel body, ente nazionale idrocarburi (eni) was set up to manage state oil and gas interests. fascist italy had nationalized over three-fourths of its economy by 1939, more so than any nation other than the soviet union. mussolini had earlier boasted in 1934 that “three-fourths of italian economy, industrial and agricultural, is in the hands of the state." by 1939 the italian state had taken over four-fifths of italy's shipping and shipbuilding, three-fourths of pig iron production, and nearly half of the steel industry. many lands, enterprises and industries were also nationalized in northern korea after world war ii, which later became the democratic people's republic of korea in 1948. in 2011 snoras bank was nationalized. in 2008 parex bank was nationalized. during the dictatorship of ferdinand marcos, important companies such as philippine long distance telephone company (pldt), philippine airlines, meralco and the manila hotel were nationalized. other companies were sometimes absorbed into these government-owned corporations, as well as other companies, such as national power corporation (napocor) and the philippine national railways, which in their own right are monopolies (exceptions are meralco and the manila hotel). today, these companies have been reprivatized and some, such as pldt and philippine airlines, have been de-monopolized. others, like government-owned and controlled corporation napocor, are in the process of privatization. the arusha declaration was proclaimed in 1967 by president julius nyerere, which aimed to achieve self-reliance through nationalising key sectors of the economy such as banks, large industries and plantations were therefore nationalised. this failed, worsening tanzania's economic problems until foreign aid and liberalisation took effect in the 1980s and 1990s. after the abolition of capitulations of the ottoman empire by the treaty of lausanne (1923), foreign concessions were suppressed, rail transport, electric power generation and distribution, telephone network and other big industrial firms were nationalized by turkish government between 1928 and 1940. nationalization was a key feature of the first post world war ii labour government, from 1945 to 1951 under clement attlee. the coal and steel industries were just two of many industries or services to be nationalised, while the formation of the national health service in 1948 entitled everyone to free healthcare. the subsequent conservative governments led by winston churchill, anthony eden, harold macmillan, alec douglas-home and edward heath allowed practically all of the nationalized industries and services to remain in public ownership, as part of the post-war consensus. however, the election victory of margaret thatcher's conservatives in 1979 saw the vast majority of nationalized industries, services and utilities privatized within a decade. the national health service was allowed to continue. the labour party initially opposed thatcher's privatization, but the party's commitment to nationalisation had been abandoned by the time it swept back into power in 1997 under tony blair. however, in february 2008, blair's successor gordon brown nationalized the failing northern rock bank during the great recession. the much larger royal bank of scotland and halifax bank of scotland were part nationalized for the same reason in october of that year. after nearly four years in public ownership, northern rock was sold to virgin money and royal bank of scotland agreed a branch sale to the santander group in november 2011. however, royal bank of scotland and lloyds remain in public ownership five years later and in november 2012 the public accounts committee warned that it could be many years before the banks are sold and the £66 billion so far invested in these banks may never be recovered. brian hartzer (born 1967) is an australian business executive who has served as the managing director and ceo of westpac. he graduated from princeton university with a bachelor of arts degree in european history. hartzer began his career as a consultant at first manhattan consulting group (fmcg), working in new york, san francisco and melbourne. hartzer concluded his time at fmcg as a vice president (partner). after his time with fmcg, hartzer spent 10 years at australia and new zealand banking group limited (anz), in a number of roles including: hartzer then joined royal bank of scotland (rbs) group's ulster bank as ceo uk retail and wealth management. after 2 years with rbs, hartzer returned to australia. in november 2014, he was announced as the ceo to succeed gail kelly as ceo, australian financial services, at westpac group in february 2015. hartzer stepped down as chief executive officer in november 2019 after claims made by austrac alleging the bank was involving in money laundering, child exploitation and other banking violations. bathycrinus carpenterii is a species of sea lily, a crinoid in the family bathycrinidae. it is native to the north atlantic. it was described by danielssen & koren. the species name honors dr. william benjamin carpenter. elisabeth miller bardwell (december 4, 1831 in colrain, massachusetts – may 27, 1899 in greenfield, massachusetts) was an american astronomer whose main area of study was meteor showers. she graduated from mount holyoke college in 1866, and continued on at the college as an instructor until her death. during those 33 years, she taught a mixture of algebra, trigonometry, physics, and astronomy for the first twenty years, and eventually only astronomy after 1886. she also oversaw the development of the observatory at the college which included invited visits to the washington, princeton, lick, berlin, and potsdam observatories. in november, 1891 she was elected a member of the astronomical society of the pacific; in march 1895, of the british astronomical association, and in 1898, of the american association for the advancement of science. she was a contributor to "astronomy", "astro-physics", and "popular astronomy". elisabeth miller bardwell was born in franklin county, massachusetts on december 4, 1831 to amos and minerva (miller) bardwell. as a child, elisabeth spent lots of time outside and developed an extroverted personality that led to a fearless and risk-taking demeanor. often she could be found taking books with her when she played outside, as she was known to learn from the environment around her. bardwell also showed early signs of being a scholar, finishing "adams' new arithmetic" at age twelve. initially, she attended the academy at shelburne falls, learning latin and various other subjects in order to prepare her for teaching at a higher level in the future. she began teaching at age 18 at district schools in her hometown until she decided to leave teaching to pursue further studies. bardwell graduated from mount holyoke college in 1866 and remained to teach there for 33 years. she taught algebra, trigonometry, physics, and astronomy. she was also the director of the john payson williston observatory at the college from its opening in 1881 until 1896, during which time she oversaw its growth. improvements in telescopes allowed her and her students to observe sunspots, lunar occulations, and variable stars. the astronomy program became a popular course of study with nearly 20% of students choosing to enroll in an astronomy class between 1896-1976 after the college introduced an astronomy major in 1895. the development of the observatory and the course itself laid the groundwork for the next generation of female astronomy professors at the college, such as anne sewell young. when bardwell was not teaching, she was watching the sky for celestial events. in a volume of the "sidereal messenger", she published her observations of a meteor shower radiating from the constellation andromeda. she also published detailed observations of the leonid meteor shower, including a chart of the leonid radiant in "popular astronomy". while these observations were not new discoveries, they helped confirm which radiants meteors originated from. in 1880, bardwell oversaw the building of the john payson williston observatory where she would be the director until her death. towards the end of her life, bardwell resided in greenfield, massachusetts with her sister. her sister died in 1895, leading to a long period of grief for bardwell who felt very close with her sister. seven years prior to her death, bardwell was diagnosed with a severe illness from which she never fully recovered.on may 27,1899, elisabeth bardwell died with one of her sisters by her side. in terms of her legacy, bardwell is remembered as being a large part in the idea of believing in god, yet still challenging and investigating what is accepted as true.the tributes read at her memorial included: ""when i first met miss bardwell i stood in awe of her, but soon finding her sympathy and tenderness, learned to go to her in trouble."" ""how safe i felt about everything i had committed to her care! how true she was to every interest and to every friend!"" gao jianping is a chinese businessman who currently serves as chairman of the industrial bank co.. jianping has worked most of his career in the company. it started in the fuzhou branch, before heading that branch, moving on to head the shanghai branch and subsequently the entire bank. wayne l. martin (born 16 december 1965) is an english former professional footballer who played in the football league for crystal palace as a defender. martin was born in basildon, uk and began his youth career with crystal palace signing professional terms in july 1982. his sole appearance for the club was on 11 december 1983, in a home 1–2 defeat to carlisle united. at the end of the season martin moved on to south african club arcadia shepherds. elizabeth allen is a poet from australia. her poetry has been published in several australian literary journals and magazines including "heat", "hermes", "hobo" and "southerly". her 2012 book, "body language", won the anne elder award. this article presents a list of the historical events and publications of australian literature during 1875. for an overview of world literature see 1875 in literature.

[...] he put his hand on the back of her neck and told her to relax, that everything would work out with that boy". ballard has written and conducted workshops on impostor syndrome. she was involved in a controversy about the proposed thirty meter telescope at mauna kea observatory. her friend, keolu fox, a native hawaiian, helped her see the issue from an indigenous perspective. ballard spoke about the issue despite fears about the effects it may have on her career. ballard was one of a number of scientists who expressed concern in "an open letter to scotus from professional physicists drafted by the equity & inclusion in physics & astronomy group" following oral arguments in the u.s. supreme court case commonly known as "fisher ii" involving inclusiveness in admissions policies at the university of texas. the 1998 usa outdoor track and field championships took place between june 17–21 at tad gormley stadium in new orleans, louisiana. bel air church (also known as bel air

of rodrigo díaz de vivar ("el cid"), and in 1097 or 1098 became the bishop of valencia after rodrigo's conquest of the city. forced to abandon it following rodrigo's death, jerome entered the service of duke raymond of galicia in 1102 and became bishop over the churches in salamanca, ávila and zamora. jerome has been posited as the author of both the anonymous verse history "historia roderici", in which he is not mentioned, and of the anonymous epic poem "cantar de mio cid", in which he figures as a warrior-priest. jerome's life before he came to spain is obscure. according to rodrigo jiménez de rada, writing a little over a century later, he was originally from the region of périgord in france. he was a black monk, possibly at the cluniac abbey of moissac further south. his obituary is not listed in the necrology of moissac, although that of his contemporary and countryman, bishop gerald of braga, is. it is unclear when jerome came to spain, although he was certainly one of the "honest and learned" ("honestos et litteratos") french monks recruited by bernard of sedirac, archbishop of toledo, at the suggestion of pope urban ii. according to rodrigo jiménez de rada, bernard went to rome in 1096, where he tried to join the first crusade only to be turned back by urban. the pope, however, was travelling in southern france between the synod of clermont (november 1095) and the synod of nîmes (july 1096). bernard was present at nîmes, and he and urban both attended the consecration of the basilica of saint-sernin in toulouse on 24 may 1096. moreover, urban visited moissac on 13 may 1096. if jerome was indeed a monk of that place, and rodrigo de rada's account is accurate, then it is probable that he was recruited during urban's visit. thus, it has traditionally been assumed that jerome did not cross the pyrenees until bernard's return to spain sometime after july 1096. however, gerald of braga had been installed in his see by earlier that year and the recruitment of french monks for spanish work may have begun as early as 1088. jerome probably entered the cathedral of toledo as a canon before joining rodrigo díaz in valencia in 1097 or 1098. a document from the cid's rule in valencia describes him as "coming from the north" ("adueniente de susana"), which must refer to france, and suggests he may have arrived directly from there. at jerome's arrival in valencia, rodrigo gave him a property at yubayla (now el puig), which had been conquered in july 1093. after the conquest of valencia in 1094, rodrigo wanted to replace the native bishop of the mozarabic rite with one of the latin rite. according to a later source, he asked bernard of sedirac to send him a new bishop for valencia. if jerome was sent by bernard, he was sent as a mere priest, not yet consecrated a bishop. according to a document drawn up for rodrigo, jerome was "canonically elected with the agreement of the people" in valencia. he then travelled to rome to be consecrated "by the pope's hand" ("per roman pontificis manus"), becoming thereby the first bishop of valencia in connection with the wider church in about a century. the dates of his election as bishop and of his trip to rome are not clear. sometime after the conquest of murviedro on 24 june 1098, the old mosque of valencia was consecrated as the new cathedral dedicated to the virgin mary. that same year, after the consecration of the new cathedral, rodrigo made the church a large endowment of his personal property. the charter of this endowment, possibly drawn up by jerome himself, survives in its original form with rodrigo's autograph. jerome and the priests of the cathedral then pronounced excommunication and anathema on anyone who would deprive the church of this gift. the charter also specifies that jerome "raised by a special privilege of freedom" ("specialis priuilegii libertate sublimato") from the pope, probably a reference the church of valencia being exempted from any metropolitan authority and being subject only to the pope. the charter implies that jerome was not elevated to the bishopric until after the consecration of the new cathedral, but historian bernard reilly has argued that jerome's trip to rome must be placed in the first half of 1098. rodrigo died in 1099 and his widow, jimena díaz, took over. on 21 may 1101, jimena donated a tenth of her possessions to the valencian church under jerome. in late august 1101, the city was blockaded by the almoravid emirate and jimena sent jerome to the court of king alfonso vi of castile and león to ask for assistance. alfonso arrived with an army in february 1102. perhaps at the royal court in 1101 or after alfonso arrived at valencia in 1102, jerome appears to have made himself a suffragan to the archbishop of toledo, as the bishops of valencia had been in visigothic times. it proved impossible for the king's army to hold the city; valencia was abandoned to the almoravids in may. jerome managed to take with him the two diplomas of rodrigo and jimena, perhaps in the hope that he would one day be restored to valencia. they remain in the archive of salamanca to this day. after leaving valencia, jerome was in the northwest the next month. on 22 june 1102, duke raymond and his wife, urraca, granted him the two churches that stood in zamora at that time. this grant probably took place in zamora. raymond and urraca refer to jerome as "our teacher" ("magistro nostro"). on 26 june 1102, he is first recorded as bishop of salamanca, when duke raymond and his wife, urraca, made a gift to his church. the charter dated 22 june formally re-establishing the dioceses of salamanca and zamora and placing them under jerome was forged after jerome's death and before 1135. it was, however, confirmed by alfonso vi in 1136. the formal installation of jerome as bishop of salamanca and administrator of the sees of zamora and ávila may have taken place at the synod of carrión in early january 1103. it is probable that jerome was appointed bishop by raymond, who was in charge of reestablishing ecclesiastical structures in the recently conquered territory between the duero and the sierra de guadarrama. jerome does not seem to have personally resided at salamanca, which was practically a frontier post in those days. instead, he lived mainly at zamora. he also supervised ecclesiastical life in the region of ávila, where a document of 1103 in which some men of ávila made a donation to the castilian monastery of san millán de cogolla, even refers to him as "bishop of ávila" ("episcopus abelensis"). documents of 1104, 1107 and 1111 call him bishop of zamora. there he had replaced another cleric, roscelin, probably also a frenchman, who was entrusted by raymond with the two zamoran churches at an earlier date. roscelin seems never to have been appointed bishop. at a meeting of the royal court at sahagún on 6 february 1105, the king granted jerome, as bishop of salamanca, the church of san martín at zamora. jerome seems never to have been regarded as holding more than one bishopric at a time (plurality), but after his death, the dioceses were definitively restored at zamora and ávila (1121). jerome returned to the royal court at sahagún in december 1105, but he did not regularly stay at either the king's court or the duke's. jerome assisted duke raymond in repopulating the region between the duero and the sierra de guadarrama, and he probably took sole charge of the project after the latter's death in 1107. in a charter dated 30 december 1107, alfonso vi confirmed to jerome all the grants and privileges made by raymond to the churches under his control. there is no record of secular officials operating in the region of ávila–salamanca–zamora during the remainder of jerome's pontificate. during the troubled early reign of urraca, raymond's widow, who succeeded to the throne in 1109, jerome briefly considered supporting her rival theresa, countess of portugal, for he was in attendance at the portuguese court on 1 august 1112. jerome's ecclesiastical district was a kind of buffer zone between portugal and the central region of the sierra de gredos. indeed, his sprawling diocese may have formed part of the county of portugal around this time. nonetheless, on 4 january 1113, jerome travelled to the queen's court at either sahagún or león, perhaps because negotiations had been opened between urraca and theresa. in 1115 jerome spent the early spring at urraca's court, confirming a royal donation to the cathedral of toledo (march 15) and participating in face-to-face negotiations with king alfonso i of aragon at sahagún (april 28). on 15 october, jerome attended a general council of the realm at astorga and he probably stayed with the royal court for the celebration of christmas at león. there, on 8 january 1116, he confirmed a charter issued by the local bishop, diego. on 27 november 1116, jerome was present to the south of villabáñez when urraca and raymond's son, alfonso vii, then ruling as king in galicia under his mother, issued his very first royal diploma. in february 1117, he attended the synod of burgos held by the papal legate, cardinal boso of sant'anastasia, and on 24 february he witnessed an agreement between bishops hugh of porto and gonzalo of coimbra concerning their diocesan boundaries. on 4 july 1117, jerome was with the court of urraca and alfonso vii at león, where the queen gave a charter to the monastery of san isidro de las dueñas. on 9 december 1117, he again visited the court of alfonso vii at sahagún. in the spring of 1118, jerome, probably with forces from his own province, joined the army assembled in eastern castile for possible war with alfonso of aragon. on 2 june, the queen was holding a council at segovia, where jerome was probably present. on 20 november, jerome had returned to león with the royal court, there to confirm a donation by alfonso vii to the church of toledo. on 22 february 1119, he was in castile to subscribe a royal charter of donation to the monastery of san pedro de arlanza. when the queen, still in castile, issued another charter on 26 march, jerome did not sign it. in 1120, pope calixtus ii ordered jerome to make a profession of obedience to bishop diego gelmírez of santiago de compostela when the latter's diocese was raised to metropolitanate and granted the old province of the visigothic diocese of mérida, which was then under almoravid control. it is not clear if jerome ever made the profession, but within eighty years of his death it was believed that he had. jerome died on 30 june 1120. his successor at salamanca, gerald, probably also a frenchman, was in place before the end of the year. jerome's countryman, bernard of périgord, succeeded him in zamora. in the late thirteenth century, the monastery of san pedro de cardeña claimed that jerome had been a monk there and was buried there, but these claims are false. the a-league goalkeeper of the year is an annual soccer award presented to the best goalkeeper in the a-league. the award is determined by a panel of experts.

is a home rule township in montgomery county, pennsylvania, united states. cheltenham's population density ranges from over 10,000 per square mile in rowhouses and high-rise apartments along cheltenham avenue to historic neighborhoods in wyncote and elkins park. it is the most densely populated township in montgomery county. the population was 36,793 at the 2010 u.s. census, making it the third most populous township in montgomery county and the 27th most populous municipality in pennsylvania. it was originally part of philadelphia county, and it became part of montgomery county upon that county's creation in 1784. cheltenham is located 5 miles from center city, philadelphia and surrounded by the north and northeast sections of philadelphia, abington, jenkintown, and springfield. the septa main line passes through cheltenham via 5 regional rail stations, some of which are the busiest in the septa system. cheltenham is served by the septa city transit division and is adjacent to fern rock transportation center and the broad street line subway which terminates at the south philadelphia sports complex and also the frankford transportation center and the el, which terminates at 69th street in upper darby township. the northern terminus of broad street is in cheltenham, at its intersection with cheltenham avenue (pennsylvania route 309). cheltenham was established in 1682 as part of philadelphia county by 15 quakers from cheltenham, including richard wall and tobias leech, who purchased of land from william penn. upon creation of montgomery county in 1784, cheltenham became the smallest township in the new county. the following is the list of the 15 original founders of cheltenham township from early in its history, cheltenham was fueled by the development of various mills along tookany creek. communities and villages grew around these mills and formed what is now modern cheltenham neighborhoods. the first gristmill was built by richard dungworth in 1690. after changing ownership several times, the rowland family eventually made the mill the second largest producer of shovels in the united states. the site was demolished in 1929. the usct (united states colored troops) 3rd regiment were the first to be trained at camp william penn. it is tradition that soldiers have a grand parade before leaving for war, but philadelphia was partially a racist community at that time and the government believed that a parade might cause a riot, so it was cancelled. the leader of the camp (colonel louis wagner) was furious and made sure the next regiment to come through would have a parade. from the late 19th to early 20th century, cheltenham established itself as one of the most prominent communities in the philadelphia area. railroad tycoon jay cooke was one of the first to build his mansion in cheltenham. his 200-acre estate was eventually converted to a school in 1883 and was later demolished. john wanamaker built his mansion lindenhurst, which was destroyed by a fire in 1907. his second lindenhurst was destroyed by another fire in 1944. henry breyer, jr. eventually bought the land from wanamaker. other famous mansions built include abraham barker's "lyndon," cyrus h. k. curtis' "curtis hall," george horace lorimer's "belgrame," and john b. stetson's "idro." perhaps the most famous mansions that still stand to this day are the prominent widener family mansion lynnewood hall, the elkins estate which was home to william elkins, and grey towers castle which was home to william welsh harrison. the latter is a national historic landmark and was designed by famed architect horace trumbauer, who designed many buildings and homes in cheltenham. as the gilded age ended and the depression hit the country, many of the estates and mansions were destroyed and made way for the building of houses in their place. many of the communities that were formed in the early stages of cheltenham remained, and still exist to this day. as the 20th century progressed, many people moved out of the city and into the first community over the city line, cheltenham. one of the major groups to come to cheltenham was koreans. the original koreatown was located in the olney section of philadelphia, but eventually was moved north to logan. large pockets of koreans were eventually established in cheltenham, and also in upper darby township and west philadelphia. many other races and ethnicities migrated to cheltenham to make it one of the most diverse municipalities in the delaware valley. by the 2000 census, cheltenham was one of only two (the other being norristown) municipalities in montgomery county that was considered "diverse" (20–60% of the population is non-white). with the population increase, the township's identity changed from being a community of prominent philadelphians and their mansions to several distinct communities consisting of densely populated rowhouses, apartments, and townhouses that overflowed from neighboring north philadelphia (especially in la mott and parts of cheltenham village), but also maintaining some of the historic neighborhoods of the past in wyncote, elkins park, and melrose park. cheltenham, along with the other earliest communities in the philadelphia area such as upper darby township, haverford, lower merion, and jenkintown have retained their distinct identities while being surrounded by suburbia over the middle to late part of the twentieth century. cheltenham and lower merion are of the few townships in montgomery county who had a large population prior to the postwar population boom and thus whose majority of houses, communities, and streets have remained virtually unchanged since the early 20th century. cheltenham has 13 listings on the national register of historic places, the most of any municipality in montgomery county. cheltenham became a township of the first class in 1900. in 1976, it passed a home rule charter that took effect in 1977. there are many books about cheltenham township's history. cheltenham was the former home of cradle of liberty council breyer training area. henry w. breyer, jr. used property formerly owned by cheltenham resident john wanamaker. it closed in 1990 and is now the home of salus university. cheltenham has been honored with many distinctions over its long history. it was named a preserve america community, a us government program established to preserve historic communities throughout the united states. it is also a tree city usa member, a program dedicated to forestry management. most recently in 2013, cheltenham was named a "classic town of greater philadelphia," for being "one of the most diverse, unique, and livable communities in our region" and "truly at the center of it all." the seal of cheltenham was adopted from the seal of the namesake and sister city, cheltenham, england. it appears on all formal documents, resolutions, proclamations, and all legal records or documents. the pigeon on top of a blue sphere represents the founding of the fountain spa which made cheltenham famous. they are placed above a wreath of oak leaves. the two books represent education, in particular, the pates grammar school and the cheltenham college. the silver cross in the middle represents religion. the two pigeons represent the flock that would gather at the spas. finally, the oak tree represents the many oak trees that line the streets of cheltenham and promenades. cheltenham is a residential township in the most southeastern part of montgomery county, which is in southeastern pennsylvania (locally known as the delaware valley). it is one of six municipalities in montgomery county that borders philadelphia and is 5 miles northeast of the center city. it also borders

however, it was badly battered and routed in the initial stage of the german operation winter storm. after recovering from this, the division continued to turn in a creditable record of service in the southern sectors of the soviet-german front for the duration, and was especially recognized for its role in the liberation of the city of ternopol, for which it received that city's name as an honorific. the division originally began forming on july 18, 1941 at krasnodar in the north caucasus military district as a mountain rifle division with a specialized order of battle featuring rifle regiments made up of oversized companies (no battalion structure), with supporting arms, capable of independent operations in difficult terrain and backed by light and mobile mountain artillery. its order of battle was as follows: col. mikhail konstantinovich zubkov was assigned as commanding officer on the day the division began forming. note that as a mountain rifle division it had one more rifle regiment than a standard rifle division. the 302nd was the only mountain rifle division formed from reservists in the early months of the war, and spent until november forming up, an unusually long time in this period of crisis, probably due to lack of specialized training and/or equipment. its reconnaissance unit included some bt-5 and t-26 light tanks which implies, at least, that it was being equipped with what was available rather than what was authorized. in november it was assigned to the 51st army, and saw its first action at the very end of the year. on december 26, elements of the division made opposed amphibious landings from improvised landing craft at kamysh burun and at eltigen south of the town of kerch on the eastern tip of the crimea. in spite of heavy german fire, a foothold of 2,175 troops was established at the former port, although the latter attempt was repulsed. a second wave of soviet landings took place farther west on december 29, and the city of feodosiya was liberated by units of the 44th army. following this, the german corps commander ordered his 46th infantry division to retreat from the kerch peninsula without orders from above. as a result, the 302nd was able to liberate kerch on december 31. on january 15, 1942, general von manstein launched a counter-offensive to try to retake feyodosiya. over the next five days, the 44th army was defeated and forced to retreat to the parpach narrows. despite the 302nd managing to repulse an attack on the road and rail hub of vladislavovka on the 19th, the 51st army was forced to fall back as well. the german attack subsided as the shorter line was reached, allowing the soviets to free up reserves. during the lull on this front over the following months, the division went into reserve and was reorganized as a standard rifle division on march 31. as a result of its conversion to a standard rifle division, its order of battle was revised as follows: colonel zubkov remained in command. during this conversion the division was reassigned to the 44th army. shortly after this conversion process was complete, on may 8 manstein's eleventh army began its attack into the kerch peninsula. the 302nd escaped relatively intact, evacuating to the north caucasus, still in what remained of the 44th army in the north caucasus front. in july the division was sent north, and rejoined the 51st army, now in the stalingrad front. on august 9, colonel zubkov was replaced in command by col. aleksei fyodorovich amenev, but this officer in turn was replaced by col. yefrem fedosievich makarchuk one month later. when stalingrad front launched the southern offensive of operation uranus on november 20, the 302nd was one of the assault divisions that broke open the defending romanian 6th corps and supporting german elements, alongside the 126th rifle division. the two divisions were supported by the 254th tank brigade when the attack launched at 0845 hours, facing strong resistance from several romanian strong points. shortly after the initial assault the 4th mechanized corps (soviet union) sent its 55th and 158th tank regiments to reinforce the rifle divisions and accelerate the advance. the two tank regiments advanced through the 302nd, blasting through the romanian defenses with ease, and advancing up to 10km by 1300 hours. further advances allowed the 13th mechanized corps to break into the clear and complete the encirclement of the german 6th army. on december 12, the division was helping to man a thin line across the steppes when the german army group don launched its effort to relieve and rescue the trapped 6th army, called operation winter storm. the 302nd's main position at nebykov came under attack from the 23rd panzer division, which captured the village at 1335 hours; the germans reported that the division had fled northeast with about 3,000 men, leaving behind many dead, 250 prisoners, and a good deal of weapons and equipment. its headquarters was captured, and its deputy commander for political affairs, lt. col. p. p. medvedev, was killed by an antitank grenade. the remnants of the 302nd reorganized over the coming days along the right flank of the german thrust, which aimed at verkhne-kumskii, beyond the aksai river. later in december, while continuing the push towards rostov-na-donu and the donbass, the division, along with the rest of the 51st army, were transferred to the south front, remaining there until july, 1943. on january 12, 1943, colonel makarchuk was mortally wounded in a german airstrike; he was replaced by col. victor fyodorovich stenshinskiy who had been serving in the headquarters of southern front. the following day 51st army issued a combat report which gave the division's status as follows:the remaining rifle divisions in the army are shown in this report as even lower in terms of riflemen and sappers. colonel stenshinskiy was in turn replaced in command by col. aleksei pavlovich rodionov on february 2. in july the 302nd was moved into the reserve of the supreme high command, then into south front reserves. the division was substantially rebuilt during these months. following a transfer to the 2nd guards army in september it briefly participated in the donbass strategic offensive, and then in the lower dniepr offensive, remaining in this front (after october 20 named the 4th ukrainian front) until the end of the year. on october 2, colonel rodionov handed command over to col. nikolai panteleimonovich kucherenko, who would remain in this post until his death in march, 1945. at the end of 1943 the division was once more in the reserve of the supreme high command, now moving north to an assignment with the 47th army of the 1st ukrainian front. it would remain in this front until just before the end of the war. by the beginning of march, 1944, the 302nd was assigned to the 106th rifle corps of the 60th army. during the final stage of the battle of the kamenets-podolsky pocket, on april 15, the men and women of the division distinguished themselves in the liberation of ternopol, for which they received the name of that city as an honorific: colonel kucherenko was also awarded the order of the red banner for "his able leadership and personal courage" in the course of this action. in july the division was moved to the 28th rifle corps, still in the 60th army where it remained for the duration of the war. on august 10 the division was recognized for its role in the liberation of lviv with the award of the order of the red banner. in the final weeks of the war 60th army was moved to the 4th ukrainian front, fighting its way through eastern czechoslovakia. on march 30, 1945, colonel kucherenko was killed in action by enemy artillery in the fighting along the oder river south of wrocław, and was subsequently named a hero of the soviet union. he was succeeded in command by his deputy commander, lt. col. pyotr dmitrievich gorodnii for two weeks, then by col. aleksandr yakovlevich klimenko for the final month of hostilities. on april 26 the division was further distinguished for its role in fighting near oppeln with the award of the order of kutuzov, 2nd degree. the 302nd rifle division finished the war near prague, as a separate division in the 60th army, carrying the full title of "302nd rifle, ternopol, order of the red banner, order of kutuzov division". (russian: 302-я стрелковая тернопольская краснознамённая ордена кутузова дивизия.) the division was disbanded "in place" with the northern group of forces during the summer of 1945. four men of the 302nd rifle division earned the gold star hero of the soviet union, all posthumously: francisco trevino (born december 17, 1981) is an american mixed martial artist of mexican descent. he competes in the lightweight division, and formerly fought for the ufc. gpops-ii (pronounced "gpops 2") is a general-purpose matlab software for solving continuous optimal control problems using hp-adaptive gaussian quadrature collocation and sparse nonlinear programming. the acronym gpops stands for "general purpose optimal control software", and the roman numeral "ii" refers to the fact that gpops-ii is the second software of its type (that employs gaussian quadrature integration). gpops-ii is designed to solve multiple-phase optimal control problems of the following mathematical form (where formula_1 is the number of phases): it is important to note that the event constraints can contain any functions that relate information at the start and/or terminus of any phase (including relationships that include both static parameters and integrals) and that the phases themselves need not be sequential. it is noted that the approach to linking phases is based on well-known formulations in the literature. gpops-ii uses a class of methods referred to as formula_10-adaptive gaussian quadrature collocation where the collocation points are the nodes of a gauss quadrature (in this case, the legendre-gauss-radau [lgr] points). the mesh consists of intervals into which the total time interval formula_11 in each phase is divided, and lgr collocation is performed in each interval. because the mesh can be adapted such that both the degree of the polynomial used to approximate the state formula_12 and the width of each mesh interval can be different from interval to interval, the method is referred to as an formula_10-adaptive method (where "formula_14" refers to the width of each mesh interval, while "formula_15" refers to the polynomial degree in each mesh interval). the lgr collocation method has been developed rigorously in refs., while formula_10-adaptive mesh refinement methods based on the lgr collocation method can be found in refs., . the development of gpops-ii began in 2007. the code development name for the software was "optimalprime", but was changed to gpops-ii in late 2012 in order to keep with the lineage of the original version of gpops which implemented global collocation using the gauss pseudospectral method. the development of gpops-ii continues today, with improvements that include the open-source algorithmic differentiation package adigator and continued development of formula_10-adaptive mesh refinement methods for optimal control. gpops-ii has been used extensively throughout the world both in academia and industry. published academic research where gpops-ii has been used includes refs., where the software has been used in applications such as performance optimization of formula one race cars, ref. where the software has been used for minimum-time optimization of low-thrust orbital transfers, where the software has been used for human performance in cycling, ref. where the software has been used for soft lunar landing, and ref. where the software has been used to optimize the motion of a bipedal robot. the landforms of the earth are generally divided into physiographic divisions, consisting of physiographic provinces, which in turn consist of physiographic sections, though some others use different terminology, such as realms, regions and sub-regions. some areas have further categorized their respective areas into more detailed sub-sections. naam foundation is a non-governmental organization started by indian movie actors nana patekar and makarand anaspure. the foundation works for betterment of farmers in the drought-prone areas of marathwada and vidarbha in the state of maharashtra, india. nana patekar and makarand anaspure started with helping the families of farmers who had committed suicide in the year 2015. this help was at a personal level. initially, around 230 families from the villages in the districts of nanded, parbhani, hingoli were helped. the help package included a check of ₹ 15,000, blankets, clothes and medical kit. however, instead of helping a select few families and in order to increase the scope of this social work beyond monetary compensation, nana patekar and makrand anaspure decided to set up a foundation to undertake all these activities. they registered naam foundation in pune in september 2015. donations poured in to the foundation immediately after inauguration. the foundation collected ₹ 80 lacs on day 1. the foundation collected over ₹ 6.5 crores within 2 weeks. in order to facilitate the process, there is a bank account that has been opened with state bank of india, wherein people who want to help can deposit money for the said cause. the foundation helps the farmers in drought-stricken areas of maharashtra. the help is monetary and in-kind. in addition to the monetary help, the foundation is working on planting 1 crore trees, training and guidance to the farmers, farming centers, employment centers etc. the foundation has adopted dhondalgaon (tal. vaijapur, dist. aurangabad) and aamala (district vardhaa) villages. the foundation aims to grant employment to 500 youngsters and 30 women. the foundation has

city professional wrestling event produced by the u.s.-based wrestling promotion ring of honor, the 10th survival of the fittest. it took place on november 13, 2015 at the turner hall ballroom in milwaukee, wisconsin and november 14 at the hopkins eisenhower community center in hopkins, minnesota. survival of the fittest (2015) featured professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on roh's television program, "ring of honor wrestling". wrestlers will portray heroes (faces) or villains (heels) as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. survival of the fittest is an annual tournament held by roh. for the 2015 event, the winners from designated tournament matches in milwaukee, wisconsin advanced to a 6-man elimination match the following night in hopkins, minnesota, and the winner of that match will be declared survivor of the fittest, and receive a future roh world championship match. after winning a four corner survival match to become the number one contender at all star extravaganza vii, aj styles will challenge reigning roh world champion jay lethal for the title in december at final battle. as a prelude to that match, lethal - along with his house of truth teammates donovan dijak and joey daddiego - wrestled styles and his bullet club teammates the young bucks (nick and matt jackson) in a six-man tag team match during night 1 of survival of the fittest, which resulted in styles pinning lethal with his finishing move, the styles clash, thus giving his team the victory. (*) - roderick strong had qualified to advance to the tournament final, but could not wrestle due to a concussion, making it a five-way match. order of elimination a passport to hell is a 1932 american pre-code drama film directed by frank lloyd and written by leon gordon and bradley king. the film stars elissa landi, paul lukas, warner oland, alexander kirkland, donald crisp and earle foxe. the film was released on august 14, 1932, by fox film corporation. the delavan commercial historic district is a historic district in downtown delavan, illinois. the district includes 26 buildings along two blocks of locust street, 20 of which are contributing buildings. the oldest buildings in the district, two simple brick commercial structures, were built around 1860. the remaining buildings were mainly built later in the 19th century, with a few built during the early 20th century. the buildings mostly have either italianate or vernacular commercial designs, as was typical for commercial buildings of the period. several of the buildings feature decorative metal elements such as storefronts, cornices, and window treatments. one notable exception to this design trend is the masonic hall at 401 locust street, which has a queen anne design featuring a large turret. the district was added to the national register of historic places on november 14, 1991. topten is a south korean clothing brand operated by shinsung tongsang. as of 2015, the chain had over 97 retail stores in south korea. ogle-2014-blg-0124lb is one of the farthest planets that we know of today. it is approximately 13,000 light years away, located near the center of the galaxy. the planet was discovered using a technique called microlensing. in this case it took 150 days. two telescopes are used to detect the planet and the time difference between identification by each telescope is used to calculate the distance to the planet. this also contributes to determining the mass of the planet which is about half of jupiter's. the planet orbits a star with a mass of 0.7 solar masses and is 3.1 aus from it. the two telescopes, ogle and spitzer, discovered the planet through gravitational microlensing. this is done by observing when the star passes between earth and another star. the distance at which the star is seen allows us to observe gravity bending the light and the change of brightness shows the existence of the star. if there is a planet orbiting the star, then the astronomer will also see the same thing twice, which helped astronomers discover ogle-2014-blg-0124lb. ogle-2014-blg-0124lb is known as an exoplanet. these planets are located outside of our solar system. the kepler telescope has allowed astronomers to discover thousands of these types of planets. exoplanets obviously range in size, types, and orbits, but using this technique will help us search for planets that are of similar size to earth. since microlensing can determine the distance from the planet to the star and astronomers can identify its size, it can help determine if a planet could be habitable. agrotown volya () is a settlement in the ivatsevichy district, brest region, belarus, included in the zhytlin selsoviet. the resistance () is a chinese martial arts action film set during world war ii, directed by peng zhang li. the resistance is inspired by the beginning of the japanese invasion of china where over 300,000 people in the capital of nanjing were massacred. the movie mixes an epic tale of revenge with elements of martial art, ninja, adventure, and war movies. in 1940 during the second world war, a city named shichen is controlled ruthlessly by general takeshi and his imperial japanese army. a masked murderer known as "the black dress killer" is systematically killing japanese soldiers, working his way to the top japanese general, who is responsible for many deaths of men and women, including xiaoyun's family. xiaoyun is a peasant girl who joined the chinese resistance to avenge her family. meanwhile, an american reporter is sent to china to uncover the truth about the unrest between china and japan. what he finds threatens his own life and later forces him to join the chinese resistance. "the resistance" was shot over seven months from october 2010 to april 2011 at ningxia film studio, some scenes were shot at zhejiang province and taohua island, it was the first film shot there. the resistance was released in november 10, 2011. it screened at the 2012 cannes film festival on may 17, 2012. after a limited run in theaters in september, 2012, its dvd was released in february 12, 2013 in north america, 17 june, 2013 in the uk & ireland, 03 october, 2013 in netherlands & belgium, and 3 april 2014 in indonesia. andrew skeates (15 september 2015) retrieved 12 august 2019 jonathan regehr (4 september 2016). retrieved 12 august 2019 jj bona (11 november 2012) retrieved 12 august 2019 1905 news (19 april 2011) chinese retrieved 12 august 2019 shane's inspiration is a california-based nonprofit organization that works toward creating accessible playgrounds and supporting inclusive play, through projects in the united states and abroad. shane's inspiration was founded in 1998, by television producer scott a. williams and his wife catherine curry-williams, and their friend tiffany harris, in memory of scott and catherine's son shane, who died in infancy from the effects of spinal muscular atrophy. they were inspired in part by the work of amy jaffe barzach, founder of boundless playgrounds a few years earlier. the flagship shane's inspiration playground in griffith park opened in the autumn of 2000. since the first playground was established, more than fifty community playgrounds have followed, large and small, with involvement from shane's inspiration which may include help with design, sourcing materials, grant writing, working with local governments, or other steps in the process. among their completed projects are aidan's place in westwood, brandon's village in calabasas, chanticleer park in live oak, seba park in elgin, illinois, winwood's enchanted playground in hutchinson, kansas, fernangeles park in sun valley, california, and inclusive playgrounds in cuenca, ecuador and bangalore, india. in addition to the building of physical playgrounds, shane's inspiration has developed curricula and social programming to sustain inclusive play at the sites it develops. shane's inspiration has also collaborated with too small to fail and equipment manufacturer landscape structures inc., to create playground signage in english and spanish that encourages conversations between parents and children. fundraising activities for shane's inspiration include the annual "walk and roll" event in griffith park. jacobus de boragine was one of the glossators, and four doctors of bologna. also known as jacobus, he was born in the early 12th century and was an italian lawyer, one of four students of irnerius called the "quattuor doctores", although savigny disputes the general tradition of his inclusion in this list. the other doctors were bulgarus, martinus and hugo. the legal philosophy of bulgarus adhered closely to the letter of the law while their fellow, martinus took a more natural law and equity approach. his time at bologna was therefore one of the formative times in legal theory. he was an author of many parts of the gloss of the "corpus juris civilis". he died in 1178. the reverend william james hadden, jr. (june 2, 1921 – june 14, 1995) was a protestant minister of the christian church (disciples of christ) and a priest of the episcopal church (united states) he was also at different times both a military chaplain (both in the us navy and the us army), and a university chaplain. he also served as a politician and community leader in pitt county, north carolina, and worked for the desegregation of greenville, north carolina. william "bill" hadden was born in maple shade, new jersey on june 2, 1921. his parents were william james hadden, sr., and elizabeth derr hadden. as a young man, he was very active in the boy scouts of america and was a sea scout. he married margaret shumate (daughter of whitney shumate and jessamine shumate) on august 28, 1944, and they had four children: elizabeth hadden lunney; william james hadden, iii; whitney w. hadden (also known as whit haydn) and robert lee hadden. william hadden received his bachelor of arts degree in philosophy at lynchburg college in lynchburg, virginia in 1944. he was a member of both the kappa delta phi, eta rho chapter, and the alpha phi omega fraternities. he received his master of divinity degree from the graduate school of education at vanderbilt university in nashville, tennessee, as part of the v-12 navy college training program, in 1946. he was awarded a second master's degree from austin peay state university in 1957. a firm believer in continuing education, he also completed special studies at the university of edinburgh, the graduate school of theology at the university of the south, and participated in the religious education program at new york university and other studies at peabody college and east carolina university. william hadden was ordained as a "minister of the gospel" by the disciples of christ church on may 29, 1944, at the euclid avenue christian church (now euclid christian church), lynchburg, virginia. william hadden was ordained in the episcopal church by tom wright (bishop of east carolina) and bishop hunley a. elebash, at st. paul's episcopal church in greenville, north carolina, on august 24, 1968. william hadden served as a stateside military chaplain in the us navy as a lieutenant (junior grade) during world war ii, from june 1944 until december 1949. awarded the american campaign medal and the world war ii victory medal (united states). he then transferred to the tennessee national guard and also served as a chaplain serving as a captain in the united states army reserve during the korean war, from december 1949 until july 1954. william hadden was the first chairman of greenville's "good neighbor council" formed of black and white citizens united to fight racial segregation. the good neighbor council was formed by terry sanford, governor of north carolina from 1961–1965, and this was the forerunner of the state's human relations council, now the north carolina human relations commission. terry sanford encouraged local good neighbor councils to consider, promote and adjudicate in questions of programs of racial nature. this eight person, biracial commission was the first group to promote the legislation of the civil rights act of 1964 in eastern north carolina. the greenville good neighbor council was cited by the city, county and state officials as the most significant agency in assisting the community in weathering a most traumatic period. the rev. william hadden was its chairman for six years. one of the early shocks during this period was the effectiveness of the black christmas (boycott) of 1963, when black citizens boycotted white businesses over the christmas season because of discrimination in employment downtown greenville. bill hadden was elected six times to the city council of greenville, north carolina, and served for twelve years, from 1975–1977 and again from 1979–1989. while a city council member, he also participated in the greenville transit commission, the greenville housing authority, and the community bicycle safety program. while on the greenville housing authority, he worked to end the substandard housing for blacks along the tar river waterfront in town, many of which did not have adequate water or sewage systems in their homes. he was also instrumental in the formation of "evergreen" a downtown revitalization program for greenville. he also served as mayor pro tem of greenville, north carolina from 1985–1987. as even a temporary mayor, he was in charge of all the city departments, and was presented with an honorary police badge by the greenville police department. in 1986 he was awarded the north carolina chapter of the united states junior chamber of commerce's "outstanding elected official for the state." for a number of years he was active in different community groups. he was on the board of directors when the group was formed in 1978, and was elected president of the friends of libraries group for east carolina university in 1981. william hadden was also the president of the friends of the sheppard memorial library. he also served on the board of directors for the pitt county mental health board and the united fund. bill hadden traveled to scotland and israel during the 1950s on a study grant from the disciples of christ church. he later found that a travel company in nashville, tennessee, would pay his way if he led a tour of ten people to europe, and so he found twenty people and was able to take his wife along for free. they were able to get tickets to the oberammergau passion play in 1960. he would also lead several other tours to europe and the holy lands throughout the later 1960s, and later took another study tour of anglican university chaplains in england for the episcopal church in 1983. "taking tour groups to europe is the hobby of the rev. bill hadden, episcopal chaplain at east carolina university and until five years ago an ordained minister in the christian church. hadden has extensive experience in writing as he served as writer of sunday school material for the christian board of publication, contributed a weekly column for seven years in the tennessean of nashville, and

several countries on themes addressing history, politics, popular culture and social justice. most recently, tamarack productions released jim galloway - a journey in jazz in 2018, a documentary that chronicles the extraordinary career of the scots canadian saxophonist, journalist and impresario galloway (1936-2014.) cullingham directed and produced the film which had its world premiere at the 2018 toronto jazz festival and its uk premiere at the 2019 glasgow film festival. in 2102, tamarack released in search of blind joe death: the saga of john fahey in 2012, a documentary that follows the life and legacy of american guitarist, composer, writer and iconoclast, john fahey. the documentary was directed, produced and executive produced by cullingham, and has been screened around the

sunday morning at cbc radio. he was promoted in 1985 to desk producer, and was moved to producer of morningside for cbc radio in 1986. that same year, he became senior producer of as it happens (cbc radio). in 1987, cullingham moved to executive producer of as it happens until 1989, when he returned to sunday morning (cbc radio), becoming an executive producer until 1990. in 1989, cullingham created tamarack productions, producing its first project, as long as the rivers flow, in 1991. the television series focuses on aboriginal rights in canada, in both modern and historical times, and was broken up into five one-hour episodes - flooding in job’s garden, the learning path, starting fire with gunpowder, tikinagan and time immemorial. the series brought together notable directors in this subject area in canada including hugh brody, gil cardinal, boyce richardson and loretta todd. peter raymont of white pine pictures was series executive producer. cullingham returned to cbc in 1997 to work as a producer for . he stayed there until 2000, and moved to visiontv insight as a supervising producer and story editor. in 2002, cullingham began his career as a broadcast-journalism professor at seneca college, seneca@york in toronto. he was the journalism program coordinator from 2004 to 2011. cullingham currently teaches documentary courses in the journalism program, along with history in english and liberal studies program. cullingham has done guest lectures and screenings at a number of universities including concordia university, queen’s university, the university of western ontario, university of toronto, york university, l’école normale supérieure and efap images et médias in paris. he conducts documentary master classes at efap annually. cullingham contributes frequently to publications including the "toronto star", "the globe and mail" and the "journal of wildlife culture". he began writing in 1984 for various publications such as aboriginal voices,

www.opusonechamberchoir.com www.facebook.com/opusoneberkschamberchoir the guilloteens were an american garage rock band formed in memphis, tennessee in 1964. much of the band's musical stance was distinguished for incorporating their homegrown memphis influences with a hard-edged sound. among the group's singles, the guilloteens are most-known for their regional hit "i don't believe" and "hey you". although national success eluded the group, they are now considered one of the more accomplished garage rock acts to emerge from the era. laddie hutcherson (lead vocals, lead guitar), an ex-member of local memphis group the lesabres, formed the guilloteens with joe davis (drums) and louis paul (bass guitar, backing vocals) in 1964. the trio originally encountered one another as members of the touring version of the studio r&b session band the mar-keys, a group who produced the number three "billboard" hot 100 hit "last night". when the horn section and backup singers failed to appear for a gig, the three performed on their own, with the upbeat reception leading to them forming the guilloteens. reflecting on the formation of the band, hutcherson recalls "we let our hair grow long and we started wearing english-looking clothes. we chose a name that sounded european since we were trying to cash-in on the beatles". the guiloteens subsequently earned a role as a house band for a popular memphis teen dance club the roaring sixties, where they developed a sizable following among the area's pop audience. noticing the band's growing popularity, jerry williams, who managed fellow garage rock act paul revere and the raiders, assumed the role as the guilloteens' manager, and relocated the group to los angeles, presenting them on the television program "shindig!". in addition to "shindig!", the guilloteens also made multiple performances on "american bandstand", "hullabaloo" and "where the action is". the band's appearances on the shows made a fan out of elvis presley, convincing the singer to negotiate a spot for the guilloteens at the red velvet nightclub in early 1965. while opening for the byrds and the turtles, the band also shared the stage with the righteous brothers, who helped the guilloteens rehearse and polish some of their first compositions, including the paul-original "i don't believe". record producer phil spector was impressed by the band's performances, and offered to record "i don't believe", coupled with the hutcherson-penned "hey you". music historian richie unterberger, writing for the allmusic website, says that the songs exemplified that the guilloteens "were more versatile than the usual such act, putting fair quotients of blue-eyed soul, pop, and folk-rock into their sound, as well as the more expected british invasion and raucous frat rock ingredients". for reasons that are obscured, when spector flew to new york williams signed the band to a recording contract with hanna-barbara records. when "i don't believe" was released on the record label in 1966, it suffered from poor exposure, but still managed to become a top 10 hit in memphis. an additional single "for my own" was also composed in the same folk rock-meets-blue-eyed soul vein; however, also like its predecessor, it was spurred by poor advertising. following the lackluster sophomore release, paul, frustrated with managerial decisions, departed the band and was replaced by buddy delaney. a third single "crying all over my precious time" followed in late-1966 as the guilloteens returned to memphis. it proved to be the band's last release with the hanna-barbara label, after a successful tour with paul revere and the raiders earned them a contract with columbia records. their first single with columbia, "wild child", emits a striking similarity to raul revere and the raiders, and perhaps was the guilloteens' grittiest recording of their musical career. nonetheless, the single failed to garner much national attention, with a disappointing pop follow-up resulting in the group disbanding in 1967. delaney made a rare single called "girl" as frontman for the psychedelic pop band buddy delaney and the candy soupe shortly thereafter. since their disbandment, the guilloteens' has been spread out on several compilation albums. most notably, "wild child" appears on "mind blowers, volume 1", "crying all over my precious time" on "highs in the mid-sixties, volume 8", and "for my own" on "where the action is! los angeles nuggets 1965-1968". in 2003, the band's complete discography, including delaney's one single with the candy shoppe, was released on "for my own: the complete singles collection" lp on misty lane records in 2003. the alliance of the north () was a canadian social conservative and right-wing populist political party, originating from the province of quebec. in the 2015 federal election, the party nominated its leader françois bélanger in lévis—lotbinière. bélanger did not win a seat. the party was deregistered by elections canada on september 15, 2019. on its website, the party created a list of six (6) priorities, developed in september 2013, which form the foundation of its ideology. among the priorities include reducing the size of the federal government, reducing the number of immigrants accepted into canada to 150,000 per year, promoting a right to bear arms, launching a federal investigation into "criminal bankers", and "removing" the canadian charter of rights and freedoms. the party leader françois bélanger ran as the party's only candidate in the 2015 federal election in the quebec riding of lévis—lotbinière. he received 136 votes or 0.2% of the vote, placing last among the six candidates to contest the riding. albert earle (bud) ings (february 5, 1926 – march 20, 2015) was a canadian politician, who served in the legislative assembly of prince edward island from 1970 to 1982. he represented the electoral district of 3rd kings as a member of the prince edward island liberal party. born in mount herbert, prince edward island, ings graduated from the ontario veterinary college in 1952. he served in the executive council of prince edward island as minister of agriculture and minister of health. in 2008, he published his first book, "mud, sweat and tears : tales from a country vet", and in 2010, published "vet behind the years : more tales from a country vet". in 2009, ings was inducted into the atlantic agricultural hall of fame. in 2012, ings was appointed to the order of prince edward island. ings died in montague, prince edward island on march 20, 2015. the chinmaya sisters, uma and radhika, are classical carnatic vocalists. they received the blessings of chinmayananda saraswati and are therefore named chinmaya

neyveli santhanagopalan. they grew up in mulund, mumbai and as children had the opportunity to participate in a number of competitions conducted by schools and sabhas. after relocating to chennai to continue their pursuit of music, their maiden concert was in the year 1992 in the “spirit of youth” series of the music academy. thereafter they were selected by the tamil nadu iyal isai nataka manram to perform concerts across tamil nadu in four venues. they are now regular performers in the december music festival and perform in prime slots in most of the sabhas. they have also performed extensively in many sabhas in india and abroad. they have also performed for the sri lankan tv channel rupavahini and were featured in a live interview for the channel. being “a “ graded artists of all india radio, they have performed in many of their special programmes which include national programme of music, navaratri programme and trinity series. they have been part of several archival projects like abhayamba navavarnams, oothukadu venkata subbaiyer kritis, chamundamba ashtotra kritis of harikesanallur muthiah bhagavatar and sriranga kshetra pasurams. they are also regular

the nearest city of pingjiang. shi nui zhai is 523 meters above sea level, and occupies a radius of more than 10 square kilometres. it is one of the protected areas of china. the origins of the name shi niu zhai come from the boulder that resembles a cattle in the west part of the park. shi nui zhai used to be an important place for military affairs. according to a historian in the western province, shi niu zhai is the last remaining shanzhai of the 48 in liuyang. shi niu zhai is a national park that is made up of mainly danxia landform- red bed characterised by steep cliffs. the 3 main attractions of shiniuzhai includes ten miles cliff (十里绝壁), (hundred miles danxia) 百里丹霞,(brave men's bridge)高空玻璃桥。 the ten miles cliff is located at the center of the park, is one of china's biggest danxia cliffs. the hundred miles danxia is located at the peak of shi nui zhai where one can see the entire landscape of many other danxia peaks. shi nui zhai park has developed many tourist attractions activities. it has one of the steepest cable car in china; highest and longest suspension bridge in hunan, the brave men's bridge; asia's longest zipline. the brave men's bridge () is a glass suspension bridge that is 300 meters long, elevated at a height of 180 meter above ground. it spans across two cliffs at 540 meters above sea level the bridge's body is made up of 2 main steel wires and 6 base steel wires with wooden planks as base. it is the first high altitude glass bottomed bridge built in china. the bridge was originally made of wood but converted to glass in 2014. the new glass bottom was made using glass panes 24mm thick and 25 times the strength of normal glass panels. the origin of the name brave men's bridge is passed down from word of mouth that anyone that is able to cross the fearsome bridge is a true brave man. the ten miles cliff is a cliff located in the shiniuzhai national geological park. on the cliff, there is man-made plank structures built to serve as walking paths for the tourist. yanqing railway station () is the terminus of the yanqing branch of the line s2 of the beijing suburban railway. the yanqing branch of beijing–zhangjiakou intercity railway is under construction and will open in september 2020. the station contains ticket vending machines, a waiting room, and a bus station. access to the platforms is controlled by beijing yikatong card readers. as of 2015, the s2 schedule shows 16 trains to beijing north railway station each weekday, with travel times ranging from 1:35 hours to 2:01 hours. yanqing railway station is expected to be expanded in preparation for several major events hosted by yanqing district. an upgrade of the bus transportation hub will be conducted in preparation for the expo 2019 horticultural exhibition and the 2022 winter olympic games, whose alpine events will be hosted in yanqing district. in addition, the yanqing branch of the beijing–zhangjiakou intercity railway will terminate at yanqing railway station, opening in september 2020. givu effect () is a youth-focused non-governmental organisation (ngo) aiming to foster a "giving and sharing" culture through diverse contents of education and culture. givu effect's slogan is "your presence alone is beautiful". givu is an acronym - great i valuable u effect. it means that every human is a great and valuable being. also, it tells us that we have to be treated with dignity so we can all prosper as individuals. the organization offers many camps or trips, such as walking competitions, fishing trips, and camping for single-parent families. in 2013, the givu effect organized its first project, a group hike. in 2014, the givu effect was officially registered as an ngo with the korean government. in 2015, givu effect opened the youth culture schools at azit'shelter in ansan, gyeonggi-do. the education of givu effect consists of late-night restaurant cooking school, oneself travel school, school hiking along the ridges of mt. seorak, and calligraphy school. "community" of givu effect consists of giver's day, sharing flash mob, one-day class, "let giver friend introduce," and remote area santa. giver's day is the regular meeting of people who want to practice sharing with members of givu effect. once a quarter in april, july, october, and december, members of givu effect announce the activities during a meeting. the purpose of this program is to distribute the culture of sharing and value through lecture, volunteerism, and field trips. sharing flash mob is an event type program that works to inspire members of the public. one-day classes is a project that educates and promotes sharing through showcasing various talents of givu effect members. huntingtin interacting protein (hip) may refer to: ram kumar kashyap is an indian politician and

computer science, a wavl tree or weak avl tree is a self-balancing binary search tree. wavl trees are named after avl trees, another type of balanced search tree, and are closely related both to avl trees and red–black trees, which all fall into a common framework of rank balanced trees. like other balanced binary search trees, wavl trees can handle insertion, deletion, and search operations in time per operation. wavl trees are designed to combine some of the best properties of both avl trees and red–black trees. one advantage of avl trees over red–black trees is being more balanced: they have height at most formula_1 (for a tree with data items, where formula_2 is the golden ratio), while red–black trees have larger maximum height, formula_3. if a wavl tree is created using only insertions, without deletions, then it has the same small height bound that an avl tree has. on the other hand, red–black trees have the advantage over avl trees in lesser restructuring of their trees. in avl trees, each deletion may require a logarithmic number of tree rotation operations, while red–black trees have simpler deletion operations that use only a constant number of tree rotations. wavl trees, like red–black trees, use only a constant number of tree rotations, and the constant is even better than for red–black trees. wavl trees were introduced by . the same authors also provided a common view of avl trees, wavl trees, and red–black trees as all being a type of rank-balanced tree. as with binary search trees more generally, a wavl tree consists of a collection of nodes, of two types: internal nodes and external nodes. an internal node stores a data item, and is linked to its parent (except for a designated root node that has no parent) and to exactly two children in the tree, the left child and the right child. an external node carries no data, and has a link only to its parent in the tree. these nodes are arranged to form a binary tree, so that for any internal node the parents of the left and right children of are itself. the external nodes form the leaves of the tree. the data items are arranged in the tree in such a way that an inorder traversal of the tree lists the data items in sorted order. what distinguishes wavl trees from other types of binary search tree is its use of "ranks". these are numbers, stored with each node, that provide an approximation to the distance from the node to its farthest leaf descendant. the ranks are required to obey the following properties: searching for a key in a wavl tree is much the same as in any balanced binary search tree data structure. one begins at the root of the tree, and then repeatedly compares with the data item stored at each node on a path from the root, following the path to the left child of a node when is smaller than the value at the node or instead following the path to the right child when is larger than the value at the node. when a node with value equal to is reached, or an external node is reached, the search stops. if the search stops at an internal node, the key has been found. if instead, the search stops at an external node, then the position where would be inserted (if it were inserted) has been found. insertion of a key into a wavl tree is performed by performing a search for the external node where the key should be added, replacing that node by an internal node with data item and two external-node children, and then rebalancing the tree. the rebalancing step can be performed either top-down or bottom-up, but the bottom-up version of rebalancing is the one that most closely matches avl trees. in this rebalancing step, one assigns rank 1 to the newly created internal node, and then follows a path upward from each node to its parent, incrementing the rank of each parent node if necessary to make it greater than the new rank of its child, until one of three stopping conditions is reached. thus, overall, the insertion procedure consists of a search, the creation of a constant number of new nodes, a logarithmic number of rank changes, and a constant number of tree rotations. as with binary search trees more broadly, deletion operations on an internal node that has at least one external-node child may be performed directly, by removing from the tree and reconnecting the other child of to the parent of . if, however, both children of a node are internal nodes, then we may follow a path downward in the tree from to the leftmost descendant of its right child, a node that immediately follows in the sorted ordering of the tree nodes. then has an external-node child (its left child). we may delete by performing the same reconnection procedure at node (effectively, deleting instead of ) and then replacing the data item stored at with the one that had been stored at . in either case, after making this change to the tree structure, it is necessary to rebalance the tree and update its ranks. as in the case of an insertion, this may be done by following a path upwards in the tree and changing the ranks of the nodes along this path until one of three things happens: the root is reached and the tree is balanced, a node is reached whose rank does not need to be changed, and again the tree is balanced, or a node is reached whose rank cannot be changed. in this last case a constant number of tree rotations completes the rebalancing stage of the deletion process. overall, as with the insertion procedure, a deletion consists of a search downward through the tree (to find the node to be deleted), a continuation of the search farther downward (to find a node with an external child), the removal of a constant number of new nodes, a logarithmic number of rank changes, and a constant number of tree rotations. it is worthwhile to compare the result of a delete which would cause rotations at multiple levels in an avl tree with the rotation and rank changes performed in a wavl tree. in the second image the node with value 12 has been deleted followed by a right rotation and assigning of all external nodes rank zero. each search, insertion, or deletion in a wavl tree involves following a single path in the tree and performing a constant number of steps for each node in the path. in a wavl tree with items that has only undergone insertions, the maximum path length is formula_1. if both insertions and deletions may have happened, the maximum path length is formula_3. therefore, in either case, the worst-case time for each search, insertion, or deletion in a wavl tree with data items is . additionally, after finding a node for insertion and deletion, the amortized complexity of the tree restructuring operations is constant. adding or deleting the node itself is constant time, the amount of rotations is always at most constant and it can be shown that the total amount of rank changes in the nodes is linear in the number of both insertions and deletions. wavl trees are closely related to both avl trees and red–black trees. every avl tree can have ranks assigned to its nodes in a way that makes it into a wavl tree. and every wavl tree can have its nodes colored red and black (and its ranks reassigned) in a way that makes it into a red–black tree. however, some wavl trees do not come from avl trees in this way and some red–black trees do not come from wavl trees in this way. an avl tree is a kind of balanced binary search tree in which the two children of each internal node must have heights that differ by at most one. the height of an external node is zero, and the height of any internal node is always one plus the maximum of the heights of its two children. thus, the height function of an avl tree obeys the constraints of a wavl tree, and we may convert any avl tree into a wavl tree by using the height of each node as its rank. the key difference between an avl tree and a wavl tree arises when a node has two children with the same rank or height. in an avl tree, if a node has two children of the same height as each other, then the height of must be exactly . in contrast, in a wavl tree, if a node has two children of the same rank as each other, then the rank of can be either or . this greater flexibility in ranks also leads to a greater flexibility in structures: some wavl trees cannot be made into avl trees even by modifying their ranks, because they include nodes whose children's heights differ by more than one. if a wavl tree is created only using insertion operations, then its structure will be the same as the structure of an avl tree created by the same insertion sequence, and its ranks will be the same as the ranks of the corresponding avl tree. it is only through deletion operations that a wavl tree can become different from an avl tree. in particular this implies that a wavl tree created only through insertions has height at most formula_1. a red–black tree is a balanced binary search tree in which each node has a color (red or black), satisfying the following properties: red–black trees can equivalently be defined in terms of a system of ranks, stored at the nodes, satisfying the following requirements (different than the requirements for ranks in wavl trees): the equivalence between the color-based and rank-based definitions can be seen, in one direction, by coloring a node black if its parent has greater rank and red if its parent has equal rank. in the other direction, colors can be converted to ranks by making the rank of a black node equal to the number of black nodes on any path to an external node, and by making the rank of a red node equal to its parent. the ranks of the nodes in a wavl tree can be converted to a system of ranks of nodes, obeying the requirements for red–black trees, by dividing each rank by two and rounding up to the nearest integer. because of this conversion, for every wavl tree there exists a valid red–black tree with the same structure. because red–black trees have maximum height formula_3, the same is true for wavl trees. however, there exist red–black trees that cannot be given a valid wavl tree rank function. despite the fact that, in terms of their tree structures, wavl trees are special cases of red–black trees, their update operations are different. the tree rotations used in wavl tree update operations may make changes that would not be permitted in a red–black tree, because they would in effect cause the recoloring of large subtrees of the red–black tree rather than making color changes only on a single path in the tree. this allows wavl trees to perform fewer tree rotations per deletion, in the worst case, than red-black trees. back from the grave, volume 5 is the fifth installment in the back from the grave series of garage rock compilations assembled by tim warren of crypt records. it was released in 1985. in keeping with all of the entries in the series, and as indicated in the subheading that reads "16 crazed bone crunchin' mid-60s garage punkers", this collection consists of songs which display the rawer and more aggressive side of the genre and are often characterized by the use of fuzztone-distorted guitars and rough vocals. the set generally excludes psychedelic, folk rock, and pop-influenced material in favor of basic primitive rock and roll. the packaging features well-researched liner notes written by tim warren which convey basic information about each song and group, such as origin, recording date, and biographical sketches, usually written in a conversational style that includes occasional slang, anecdotes, humorous asides. the liner notes are noticeably opinionated, sometimes engaging in tongue-in-cheek insults directed at other genres of music. the packaging also includes photographs of the bands, and the front cover features a highly satirical cartoon by mort todd which depicts revivified zombies, in customary fashion, returning to wreak havoc, this time exacting joyful revenge on whole chunks of the human race (i.e. followers of what they consider to be the musically "heretical" forms which have come in and out of fashion since the demise of 1960s garage bands), by using a

"wearing gomsin" or "putting on gomsin" is slang widely used online in korea. there are terms to describe men, such as "combat boots". when a girlfriend remains devoted to her boyfriend throughout his service, they may be called "wearing kkotsin." kkotsin are a type of flower shoe. "gomusin" (korean pronunciation: [komuɕʰin]) are shoes made of rubber, built in the form of traditional korean shoes. the shoes are wide with low heels. gomusin for men were modeled after ""gatsin"" (갖신), and ones for women were "danghye" (당혜). gomusin first appeared in the early 20th century; they were easier to keep clean than "danghye" and "jipsin" (straw shoes) and they could be worn when during wet weather, attracting popularity and replacing traditional footwear. the term "putting gomsuin on backwards" when applied to a couple, refers to the termination of their relationship because

discrimination against the taiwanese people. today, the term is used to describe behaviors which are considered inappropriate, crude, unethical or those that show disregard to others. some characteristics of a "tai-ke" include dressing inappropriately at formal occasions, chewing and spitting betel nuts and modifying cars. with the spread and development of mass media, "tai-ke" has been deliberately portrayed as a local sub-culture trend. there are no specific or fixed set of characteristics, behavior or group that makes a tai-ke since fashion and lifestyle trends are always changing. in early days, the term originated from the dialect of a certain taiwan military dependents' village to describe lower-class and under-bred native taiwanese. tai-ke was also used to describe people who were disliked, even if they did not possess the above-mentioned characteristics. initially, the term was only used by some adolescents of the taiwan military village. hence, when they entered the taiwan working society, they did not dare to use the term in public and in the media since the term was not widely known or recognized by the taiwanese. even people from fellow military dependents' village might not know about the word due to different locations of the villages or variances in upbringing. it was not until the late 1990s when several celebrities from the mainland such as dee shu began publicly using the term on television programs to describe people who were "low-class". the term then began gaining popularity in the mass media. in may 1999, indie band ltk commune published a rock taiwanese album named "台客的復仇 / taik's eye for an eye". the album reflects the issues of taiwan protest movement and environmental pollution in rural areas. even though their album title literally means "taike's revenge", none of their songs in the album bore the album's name. even though this album did not gain much attention and popularity in mass media, it can be considered as the time of the rising of civic society. the time when "tai-kes" began reflecting on their self-identity as well as on the meaning of life in taiwan. in the late 1990s, kevin tsai hosted a tvbs-g television show called "super generation" to promote the significance of the term "tai-ke" and discuss its changing definitions. in the program, representatives of tai-ke were invited as guests of the show. during which, the tai-ke represents were mostly cooperative and even entertained all the typical stereotypes that they were labelled with. at times, they would even fiercely rebut any false accusations. this television show was one of the earliest television show to present and promote the "tai-kes" publicly. however, the effect of this show can said to be paradoxical. on one hand, some of the negative image of "tai-kes" were intensified but on the other hand, the show gained immense popularity as viewers found it entertaining. because of the advantages of mass media, the term became more prevalent among young people. in addition to the terms "vulgar," "not of standard" that were synonymous to "tai-ke", the term became increasingly of mixed meanings. the television show "super generation" also introduced the term "tai mei" that bore the same meaning of "tai-ke", only to describe the female versions. however, some scholars and the public believe that these words that appear in the media would reflect that there is ethnic discrimination, so they resisted the term. thus in july 2005, taiwanese publishing company "eslite spectrum" issued its 56th magazine that highlighted the spread of the "tai-ke" term and phenomenon. in august 2005, a few taiwan artists such as wu bai, mc hotdog, chang chen-yue, show lo saw the potential in the term tai-ke, and held a rock concert to`gather the support of the younger generations taiwanese to portray a new meaning to the word. jutoupi, bobby chen and other celebrities who consider themselves "very "tai-ke"" artists, together with entertainer stanley huang were sponsored by china broadcasting corporation and other media companies to perform a rock concert in taipei international conference hall. stanley huang thought it was a wonderful "taiwan rock" concert; in april 2006, there was another rock carnival held in taichung which included pole dancing, floats and other electronic erotic performances. after this series of events, some people think that the word "tai-ke" gradually lost its derogatory meaning, but instead, became a kind of "self-derision" term. they felt that people called themselves "very tai" to self-ridicule or to signify someone who was not "in-trend". in 2005, china broadcasting corporation set off a rock concert, and organized a "tai-ke big vote-off" event. jacky wu won first place, dee shu came in second, and jay chou was third place. subsequently, the media recognized that the "tai-ke" term has gone off the stigma and instead has become widely popular. in 2007, the two terms "tai-ke" and "tai-ke rock" was registered as a trademark by neutron innovation (bvi) ltd who held the rock concert. they received the permission from roc ministry of economic affairs intellectual property office. this caused the east coast hot rock festival which was supposed to be held in hualien on august 4, with the theme "taike rock night" to be forced to be renamed into "east coast rock night." this incident aroused cultural dissatisfaction and questions from the academic circles. ltk commune's lead singer, ko ren-chien as well as legislator lin shu-fen openly opposed the word "tai-ke" to be registered as a trademark. the neutron innovative companies sponsored its first rock carnival "eliminate stigma of tai-ke" to appeal to the community to maintain respect for their brand value; but because such a cultural expression was registered as a trademark, it created great controversy. in 10 september 2007, ceo zhang peiren of the neutron innovation company, announced that the company will abandon the "tai-ke" trademark and will consider cancelling their subsequent rock concert. consequently, taiwanese singer, chang chen-yue who has previously performed in the rock concerts held by neutron innovation ltd expressed his displeasure. he felt that "previously, nobody cared about the tai-ke culture. it was the rock concerts that advocated it. those politicians and scholars did not support us and even looked at us with discrimination. however, now that tai-ke gained popularity they rose up against our trademark. it is very unreasonable." huang dao (; april 25, 1900 – may 23, 1939) original name huang duanzhang (), also known as yiming () was a member of the chinese workers' and peasants' red army and the new fourth army. he was born in hengfeng county, jiangxi

"m. scutellaris" is a member of the family apidae of eusocial bees within the order hymenoptera, which consists of ants, bees, wasps, and sawflies. the subfamily meliponini is commonly referred to as "stingless bees." it is one of 40 known species within the genus "melipona". "m. scutellaris" has the common name of "uruçu-nordestina" (northeast uruçu) or "uruçu-verdadeira" (true uruçu), usually shortened to just "uruçu." "m. scutellaris" workers of populations from different elevations show morphological differences. workers from coastal colonies have a dark thorax, while workers from mountainous regions have a light thorax, both having five white stripes and grey hairs. this variation is associated with the humidity in those areas which influences the pigmentation. its body is robust, the clypeus is slightly convex, and the face is relatively narrow. they are about 10 to 12 mm in length. "m. scutellaris" was one of the first bee species domesticated by potiguara, kiriri, xucuru, pataxó, paiaku, tupicuruba and aymoré indians. the portuguese colonizers learned rearing techniques that led "m. scutellaris" to become one of the most frequently reared species of stingless bees in the northeast. their colonies can have from 4000 to 6000 bees, and in favorable conditions can produce up to 10 liters of honey a year. this makes the species very attractive for commercial honey production, despite the extra work to collect the honey from the pots it is stored avoiding contamination. "m. scutellaris" nests in cavities of tree trunks in the atlantic rainforest and is widely distributed in the northeast of brazil, where it is commonly kept by regional and traditional beekeepers for honey, pollen and wax. to construct their nests, "m. scutellaris" use cerumen, a mixture of wax and floral resins. ceruman is used in different ratios in storage pots, brood cells, entrance openings and tubes, and pillars. the nests are surrounded and protected by a structure called batumen, a wall-like plate made of brittle ceruman, mud, and sometimes pieces of flowers and leaves. when excessive mud is added, the mixture is called "geopropolis." the species is now extremely rare in nature because of the deforestation of the atlantic rainforest for sugar cane plantations. other bee species, such as "tetragonisca angustula", are also greatly affected by this deforestation. destructive exploration of wild colonies to obtain the valuable honey, which is traditionally used as medicine, has further reduced natural colonies dramatically. his work is a portrait of nature in all its expressions: death, humanity, beauty, mystery and the animal kingdom. the use of light and shadow is important in his work. el economista newspaper calls argudin one of mexico’s best active painters. argudín awards include the acquisition prize at the salon nacional de la pintura in 1987 and the acquisition prize at the rufino tamayo biennale in 1988 with honorable mentions in 1982 and 1992. he has been a member of the sistema nacional de creadores de arte (2001-2006, 2010-2013). in 2013, the museo de la secretaría de hacienda y crédito público held a retrospective of the artist’s work. the following is a list of the communes of friuli-venezia giulia, in north-eastern italy. there are 215 communes in the abolished provinces of friuli-venezia giulia (as of january 2019): mallett hall is a historic former hotel building at 2782 lee road (maine state route 6) in lee, maine. built in 1889, it is a rare surviving example of a once-common form, a country hotel in rural maine. now owned by the local historical society, it serves as a community function space. it was listed on the national register of historic places in 1993. mallett hall is located on the north side of lee road, just east of lee academy near the center of the rural community. it is a long rectangular wood frame structure, two stories in height, with a hip roof and granite foundation. the south-facing front facade is asymmetrical, with a picture window and sash window to the right of the off-center door, and two sash windows to its left. there are six sash windows on the second level, above the single-story porch that wraps around to the right (east) side. the east facade has thirteen windows on the first floor and eleven on the second. the first floor housed public and office spaces of the hotel, including a dining room, kitchen, and an open central hall. the upstairs originally house four bedrooms and a large dance hall, the latter converted to dormitory-style bedrooms in the 1930s. mallett hall was built in 1889 by james mallett as a small hotel serving travelers along what is now route 6, then the main road between lincoln, maine (the nearest railroad stop) and fredericton, new brunswick. the hotel was operated under various names by members of the mallett family into the 1920s. in 1930 the building was purchased and given to lee academy, which converted the ballroom into dormitory space. in 1975 the building was adapted to house apartment units, and in 1993 it was transferred to the local historical society and restored. chail cricket ground is a cricket ground located in chail, himachal pradesh. the ground was established in 1893 by bhupinder singh maharaja of patiala who owned a summer-retreat in chail, that time the ground was developed. the ground located at 2444 meters above sea level that make highest cricket ground in the world. the ground is surrounded by forest and is used as the school playground by chail military school. during school vacations it is also used for polo. there is a well maintained basketball court as well as there are goal posts for football. kilwaughter is a small village in county antrim, northern ireland near the town of larne. it is in an electoral ward situated within the mid and east antrim borough council area. kilwaughter is a rural village or hamlet. kilwaughter is the home of kilwaughter castle, built by john nash between 1803 and 1807, for the agnew family. located on the site of an older 17th century tower, the castle is situated in the hills, about 3 miles southwest of larne. seized by the government during wwii, kilwaughter castle was used to house soldiers in the 1940s. these soldiers were members of the american 644th tank destroyer battalion and based here during preparations for the d-day landings. the castle remained uninhabited from that time and fell into disrepair - with collapsed floors and a collapsed roof. it is privately owned and not open to the public. as of 2017, a charitable trust was reportedly being formed to "stop further deterioration of the castle". in addition to the still imposing castle, the landscape around kilwaughter now finds itself marked by industry with a number of quarries operating in the local area. adelaide heilbron was an american screenwriter known for

on the great eastern railway, including the london terminus at liverpool street station. ashbee was articled as an architect to alfred maberley, the diocesan surveyor for gloucester (the place of his birth) and became his assistant in 1872. in 1874 he joined the engineering firm of edward wilson & co working on the construction of liverpool street station and, while with the firm, designed most of the new great eastern railway stations built in that period, working with john wilson as engineer. in 1882 he was promoted to head of the architects' department. in 1883 wilson resigned from the firm to join the ger as chief engineer and ashbee followed him. as the head of the architectural department of the ger from 1883, a position he held until 1916. his major early work after appointment was the elaborate norwich thorpe station, built in 1884–6 in a "free renaissance" style. he later worked with john wilson as the architect for the 1894 expansion of liverpool street station, built in neo tudor style. following his appointment to the ger in 1883 ashbee started to adopt the "domestic revival" style of architecture which had been used by the london, brighton and south coast railway on its new lines in sussex in the early 1880s. his earliest work in this style was the up side at ingatestone railway station in 1884/5, followed by wivenhoe and frinton stations in 1886 and 1888. ashbee was the creator of the "new essex" style, later known as the "ashbee style"; this was named after the 15 stations which ashbee designed for the shenfield to southend line and the crouch valley line, the so-called "new essex" lines, which were opened in 1888/9. these reflected a standardisation of his domestic revival style across several common plans, characterized by red brick, tiled gables and elaborate timber canopies. trimley railway station was one of only two stations outside essex to be built in this style. the brick and gables often featured also on the cottages built close to stations for their staff. his smaller stations of the 1890s were however plainer in style, although red brick remained a feature, while other stations of this decade, such as chappel and buckhurst hill, were quite different. he returned however to the more elaborate style closely related to the new essex style for his work in the early 1900s on the yarmouth–lowestoft line and fairlop loop. wolferton station was built to serve the royal family’s sandringham estate and included a suite of tudor-style royal reception and retiring rooms as well as a spacious carriage dock and a small gasworks, which lit the entire station. he became an associate in 1881 and a fellow in 1890 of the royal institute of british architects. ashbee was responsible for many stations on the great eastern railway, some of which are now listed buildings. his more notable works include: shenfield to southend line the stations on this line are still substantially as built by ashbee: most of the original ashbee buildings on this line were demolished in 1968, although some parts of burnham and southminster remain: six original stations on the fairlop loop of the central line, but originally part of the great eastern, were designed by ashbee: ashbee was living at rose valley house in brentwood, essex at the time of his death in april 1919. the discography of the story so far, an american rock band, consists of four studio albums, six extended plays and three singles. valeria sabel (7 april 1928 – 18 august 2009) was an italian actress. she appeared in more than sixty films from 1964 to 2009. in "godfather iii" she played the role of "sister vincenza". bays mountain park is a nature park and planetarium located on bays mountain in kingsport, tennessee, featuring cross-cut viewing sections of

free-roaming white-tail deer. wolf howling sessions are held regularly, where people are allowed to howl with the wolves, spurring the wolves into howling even more. there is also a herpetarium with snakes and amphibians. the steadman heritage farmstead museum is a 19th-century period living history farm museum. one popular activity is called the barge ride. this attraction features a ride through the bays mountain reservoir on a pontoon boat while learning about the nature around you. the park also features a freeze-drying laboratory where animals of the region who die of natural causes are preserved for everyone to examine up close. other activities include hiking, orienteering, mountain biking, camping and fishing. there is also an adventure course with a zip line. camp ekon also known as stanley house is a property and resort for summer camps. it is situated on the shore of lake joseph on stanley house road in rosseau in the township of seguin, ontario. it is run by the society of jesus, part of the roman catholic church. the original stanley house was built in 1888. it burned down in 1921 and was rebuilt a year later. in 1937, the jesuits moved into the premises. they used it as a location to teach regis college summer courses, host retreats in ignatian spirituality as well as various meetings and conferences. in 1888, w. b. mclean built stanley house as a hotel. it had towers and was four stories tall. in 1907, it was bought by edward leef. in 1910, he sold it to his father-in-law, william bissonette. in 1921, stanley house and the surrounding boat house and barn all burnt down in a fire. the following year, the bissonette family rebuilt the hotel. in 1937, the jesuits leased the site. in 1941, they purchased it and the surrounding five-acre area for $15,000. in 1953, the jesuits expanded the property by buying a nearby 1.5 acre garden. in 1971, camp ekon was started. fr. brian massie, s.j. was the founder and decided to call it 'ekon' because that was the name given to saint jean de brébeuf by the wyandot people. 'ekon' means 'the healing tree' and referred to jean de brébeuf's height. in 1978, the diocese of peterborough donated an old church building, which became the camp director's cottage, with the provision that it not be used for religious services. in 1991, the jesuits bought the shore road allowance, which previously separated the property from the lake. in 1993, renovations on the site began. in 1996, the arts studio was finished. camp ekon also uses 'little round island', which is also known as 'little chief'. it is to the south east of the site and is trust for the camp by the massie family. about camp ekon, the "toronto star" wrote, "jesuit in philosophy, roman catholic in tradition and public in service, the camp is open to all faiths and culture because there are no boundaries when it comes to leadership," and the motto of the camp is 'looking out for the little guy and carrying the heavy load'. dark eyes (french: les yeux noirs) is a 1935 french drama film directed by viktor tourjansky and starring harry baur, simone simon and jean-pierre aumont. the film's sets were designed by the art director eugène lourié. valentino macchi (4 august 1937 - 19 march 2013) was an italian actor. he appeared in more than one hundred films from 1962 to 2008. his last appearance was in 2008 and died on march 19, 2013 at his home in rome the following is a list of the communes of trentino-alto adige/südtirol, in italy. there are 291 communes in trentino-alto adige/südtirol (as of january 2019): the ethnographic museum of the university of zurich is the third oldest ethnological museum of switzerland. owner of its collections since 1914 is the university of zurich. the main fields of the museum's activities are the maintenance of the collections, research, teaching and public relations (realization of exhibitions, publications and public events). the ethnographic museum is located in downtown zurich within the premises of the old botanical garden “zur katz”. the building was first constructed in 1864 and underwent various changes over time. until 1977 it served as a depot, office building and green house of the botanical institute of the university of zurich, the latter still recognizable in the library tract's architecture. the buildings conversion into a museum was undertaken by the architects hubacher, issler and partners, zurich; another major renovation was carried out by the architects p. + j. diethelm, st. gall, in 2014. the complex of buildings now comprises depots, studios of photography, graphic art and conservation, archives, library, office tract, lecture hall and auditorium (which also serves as venue of public events), reception and three exhibition halls (total display space 700m). in 1889 the ethnographic collection of zurich was presented to the public for the very first time. initially the collection was property of the ethnographische gesellschaft zürich [ethnographic society of zurich] (since 1899: geographisch-ethnographische gesellschaft zürich, gegz [geographic-ethnographic society of zurich]); in 1914 the collection was handed over to the university of zurich where it was open to the public in the university's main building till 1979. in 1972, with the introduction of ethnology as a new subject of study at the university of zurich, the former “ethnological collection” was shifted from the faculty of natural sciences to the faculty of arts and renamed as “ethnographic museum of the university of zurich”. in 1980 the collection was moved to its present location. the museum collection is presented to the public by means of temporary exhibitions. at present (2015) it comprises more than 40’000 artefacts. thematic focus areas are material witnesses of religious context (ritual objects and iconography of hinduism, buddhism, christianity and islam as well as of local religions in asia, indonesia (asien?), australia, oceania, the americas and africa) as well as objects embodying specific knowledge and skills relating to production and utilization (textiles, wickerwork, pottery, carving, smithery). geographical focus areas represented in the museum's collection are the museum also hosts a collection of visual anthropology consisting of 40’000 historical photos, a movie archive of about 2’400 titles, a sound archive containing 6’500 lps and cds originally collected by the musikethnologisches archiv der universität zürich [music-ethnological archive of the university of zurich], and an archive of documents related to the collections and the museum's history. the museum library comprises some 35‘000 books and several dozen specialist periodicals and works of reference. the titles can be searched online, and most of the books are borrowable. there is a reading room with 20 workstations. rare books and non-circulation videos can be viewed here as well. nontraded assets (or: nonmarketable assets or perfectly nonliquid assets) are assets that are not traded on the market. human capital is the most important nontraded assets. other important nontraded asset classes are private businesses, claims to government transfer payments and claims on trust income. human capital is the stock of knowledge, habits and social and personality attributes. its market value (discounted value) of future labour income (a measure of human capital) is greater than the total market value of traded assets. human capital is also the nontraded asset that is most importable across time. humans can only hedge their human capital using traded assets by borrowing against labour income (via home mortgages) and by reducing uncertainty via life insurance. however, these hedges are imperfect. therefore, human capital pressures security prices and thus causes deviations from the capital asset pricing model (capm). the market value of privately held corporations and businesses is of a similar magnitude as the market value of human capital. however, privately held businesses can more easily hedged using marketable securities and thus are a lesser source of deviations from the capm. privately held businesses have similar risk characteristics as traded assets. therefore, individuals can partly offset the diversification problems caused by nontraded private businesses by altering their demands for similar, traded assets. however, the risks of private businesses do differ from those of traded securities. therefore, a portfolio of traded assets that best hedges the risk of typical private businesses will enjoy excess demand from private business owners. this will cause the price of the assets in this portfolio to be bid up relative to the price predicted by the capm ,causing a lower expected return in relation to systematic risk. conversely, securities with risks highly correlated to the risks of private businesses will have high equilibrium risk premiums, causing a higher expected return in relation to systematic risk; or positive alphas. this has been confirmed by empirical tests by heaton and lucas (2000). thus, private businesses can only be imperfectly hedged using traded securities and therefore still cause deviations from the capm. the original capm equation is where e is the expectations operator, formula_2 is the end-of-period random yield on the jth asset, formula_3 is the end-of-period random yield on the market portfolio and formula_4 is one plus the riskless rate of return. mayers (1972) has derived a capm for an economy in which nontraded assets exist; specifically, an economy in which individuals are endowed with human capital: labor income of varying size relative to their nonlabor income. this model assumes riskless borrowing and lending, thus implying a linear form of the risk expected return relationship, as does the original capm. the adjusted capm equation becomes, where formula_6 is the expectations operator, formula_7 is the excess rate of return of the jth asset (formula_8), formula_9 is the excess rate of return on the market, formula_10 is the excess rate of return on aggregate human capital, formula_11 is the value of aggregate human capital and formula_12 is the market value of traded assets (the market portfolio). in the adjusted capm, the beta – the measure of systematic risk – is replaced by an adjusted beta that also accounts for covariance with the portfolio of aggregate human capital. thus, the model creates a wedge between betas measured against the traded, index portfolio and betas measured against the true market portfolio; the latter also includes human capital (as measured by aggregate labor income). this causes the results to differ in two respects. first, if the formula_13 is positive (as is expected), the adjusted beta is greater when the capm beta is smaller than 1 and vice versa. thus, it is expected that the risk premium will be greater than predicted by the capm for securities with a beta less than one and smaller for securities with a beta greater than 1. this results in a less steep security market line (sml). the ratio of formula_14 may be greater than one and thus likely has a significant economic effect. this may be an explanation for the average negative alpha of high-beta securities and positive alpha of low-beta securities that have been empirically found. second, in the adjusted capm, the portfolios of maximizing investors are not all identical, as is the case in the original capm. jagannathan and wang (1996) derived an adjusted capm where in addition to the beta of the value-weighted stock market index (formula_15), they also estimated the betas of assets with respect to labor income growth (formula_16). as a proxy for changes in the value of human capital they used the rate of change in aggregate labor income. the resulting adjusted capm equation becomes where formula_18 is the market value of the firm's total equity omnibus of science fiction is an anthology of science fiction short stories edited by groff conklin. it was first published in hardcover by crown publishers in 1952, and reprinted in 1953; a book club edition was issued by the same publisher with the science fiction book club in the same year. later editions were issued by bonanza books/crown publishers in 1984 and chatham river press in 1984. an abridged paperback version including eleven of its forty-three stories was published by berkley books in august 1956 under the variant title science fiction omnibus and reprinted in november 1963. a two volume british edition, also abridged, was published in hardcover by grayson & grayson in 1953-1954 under the variant titles strange travels in science fiction and strange adventures in science fiction; together, they included twenty-two of the original forty-three stories. the book collects forty-three novellas, novelettes and short stories by various science fiction authors, together with an introduction by the editor. the stories were previously published from 1912-1952 in various science fiction and other magazines. note: stories also appearing in one of the abridged editions annotated om ("science fiction omnibus"), ad ("strange adventures in science fiction") or tr ("strange travels in science fiction"). st wilfrid’s church, egginton is a grade i listed parish church in the church of england in egginton, derbyshire. the church dates from the 12th century with elements from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. the church was restored between 1891 and 1892 by evans and jolly of nottingham. a new oak roof was placed over the nave and north aisle. a new concrete floor was laid, with wooden blocks under the seats and red tiles in the aisles. an organ chamber was formed between the east end of the north aisle and the vestry. the window formerly in the chancel was moved to the organ chamber and the old east window of the north aisle was moved within the church. battlements corresponding to those of the north aisle were placed on the organ chamber. the fragments of ancient glass in the east window were releaded and replaced by clayton and bell. they also provided a new window in memory of revd. rowland mosley. the contractors were walker and slater of derby. the church was reopened by the bishop of southwell on 1 april 1892. the organ was by forster and andrews dating from 1892 and installed for a cost of £253 (). a specification of the organ can be found on the national pipe organ register. the church is in a joint parish with: "hell you talmbout" is a 2015 protest song by janelle monáe and the members of her wondaland artist collective, including deep cotton, george 2.0, jidenna, roman gianarthur, and st. beauty. the word "talmbout" in the title is a contraction of "talking about"; thus, the title asks "what the hell are you talking about?" the song lists the names of various african-american people who died as a result of encounters with law enforcement and/or racial violence, and implores listeners to say the names of the dead. wondaland and monáe subsequently released the instrumental track of the song, so that listeners could make their own versions. the song received favourable reviews, and many spoke positively about the message of the song. "fast company" described it as "simple yet unquestionably powerful", stating that it will force listeners to remember those who have been murdered. stereogum called it "less a song and more of a chant, with some gospel overtones", and emphasized that it is both "simple" and "effective". "usa today" declared it the 'song of the week', praising the song's "simple but stark approach" of only listing names rather than describing circumstances, and attributing this to a desire to avoid "arguments that can quickly turn divisive and bitter", while national public radio called it "visceral" and "blistering". monáe released a shorter alternate version of the song as a target exclusive bonus track to her second studio album "the electric lady". transgender rights advocate vita elizabeth cleveland recorded an answer song, "hell y'all ain't talmbout", which focuses on the names of murdered african-american trans women. david byrne and his band performed "hell you talmbout" as the final encore each night on his american utopia tour. byrne said, "this is one of the most moving political songs that i'd ever heard" and chose it because it "...ends the show on the vibe of, "this is where we are at in 2018."" a version of it appears on the "american utopia on broadway" album. roberto della casa (born 14 october 1942) is an italian actor. he appeared in more than sixty films since 1970. roosevelt high school was a public high school in dayton, ohio, united states, that was part of the dayton public schools. the school was named for u.s. president theodore roosevelt and opened in 1923. at the time of its construction, it was believed to have been the largest high school in the eastern u.s. athletic teams competed in the dayton city league and were known as the "teddy bears" or "teddies" with school colors of red and white. the school closed in 1975 and the building was used for school district offices and other functions. it was demolished in 2008 to make way for the dayton boys preparatory academy, an elementary school for boys in grades kindergarten through eight, which opened in december 2010. many architectural elements from the roosevelt high school building were saved and incorporated into the new academy, and the area around the building is known as the roosevelt commons. texas beach in richmond, virginia is a riverside area located south of maymont and west of hollywood cemetery. the area is named texas beach after texas avenue in the maymont neighborhood, which was the original street to reach the recreation area. today, it served via the north bank trail. the area is home to numerous river beaches, a skatepark, and mountain bike trails. gläser-karosserie gmbh was a german coachbuilder, based in dresden, and known in particular as a producer of bespoke cabriolet car bodies. the enterprise was founded in 1864 and lasted, by some criteria, till 1952. in 1864 (1831-1902), then a saddler by trade, established a little factory for the manufacture of carriages and sleighs along the rampischen alley ("rampischen gasse 6"), near the frauenkirche, in dresden. the quality of the carriages and chaises he produced led to orders from the royal in dresden. the business also extended to upholstering, painting and finishing carriages supplied as basic shells by other makers. in 1898 who had hitherto been one of the manufacturers supplying unfinished carriages, became a co-owner of the gläser business. heuer at this time was running his own forge and carriage workshop at radeberg, some east of the city, but his working relationship with gläser was already well established: he had indeed married gläser's daughter back in 1885. when gläser, by now more than 70, died in 1902 heuer was left as the sole owner of the flourishing business that bore his father-in-law's name. 1902 was also the year in which gläser-karosserie decided to diversify into car bodies, although it was not till 1905 that they were able to deliver their first vehicle, using a chassis from daimler of untertürkheim. heuer continued to build the business, while his brother robert heuer took over the running of the operation in radeburg. at the luxury end of the market customers were able to specify highly individualised bodies. the company acquired several patents including one for a window opener known as the "silentium", reflecting its qualities. a small number of tramcars was also produced for dresden during the early years of the twentieth century. during this time, the radeberg operation became increasingly closely integrated with the business in dresden, and taken together the business provided work for approximately 200 people. in 1905 the acquisition of a small steam powered generator at radeberg gave the operation, for the first time, access to a power supply to support the hand craftsmanship on which operations depended. in 1913 a site for the construction of larger premises was acquired, from a former curtain and lace making business, at arnold street ("arnoldstraße 18-24") in the johannstadt quarter of dresden. a modern factory building was constructed into which the workshops were relocated. the rampischen alley premises were converted for use a prestigious showroom complex. during the war gläser switched to war production, making wings and landing gear for fokker fighter planes. after 1918 the focus returned to car bodies and horse-drawn carriages. simultaneous production of both car bodies and horse carriages was not a problem, since at this stage both employed the same meticulous timber frame technology, with the gaps in the frame filled by hand-made sheet panels or by fabric, applying the weymann patented methods. it was not till the 1930s that timber frame bodies began to be superseded by "all-steel" car bodies, manufactured using large expensive presses (or labour-intensive hand-beaten steel panels), applying, in particular, the patent technology from ambi budd who built their own large-scale car body factory in berlin, transforming the economics of automobile production by the end of the 1930s. this increasingly restricted bespoke car body builders to the upper end of the price scale, but that was already the sector where gläser-karosserie were at their strongest, providing bespoke bodies for customers who had purchased their cars in bare chassis form from any one of a wide range of auto makers including (but not restricted to) adler, bmw, hanomag, horch, mercedes benz, opel, steyr and wanderer. body types included the phaeton, coupé, landaulet, limousine, pullman and (still a particular gläser speciality) cabriolet. georg and erich heuer worked with their father in the business, later taking over from him in 1918, although the father remained active as a director till 1932. georg, notably, concentrated on car body design, producing cabriolet and other designs in the early 1930s of remarkable harmony and symmetry. his "six-light" pullman limousine design was a milestone both artistically and technically. the firm was also known for mechanically ingenious roof folding mechanisms, for which it held several patents. nevertheless, after several financially challenging years as the world economic crisis unfolded, and following the cancellation of a major contract by general motors gläser-karosserie found itself in financial difficulties, and in summer 1932 georg heuer shot himself. his brother emil, now aged 74, took on sole responsibility for the company, but the financial difficulties persisted and in 1934, with the business undergoing an extensive restructuring at the direction of the dresdner bank, emil also died. on 12 june 1933 gläserkarosserie g.m.b.h was founded, effectively a new company formed from the remnants of the bankrupt old one. leadership passed to willy bachmann, by training a plumber, who had married heuer's daughter, johanna, in 1929. dresdner bank was the principal banker of gläserkarosserie g.m.b.h and also of auto union, another saxony based auto-business that underwent a major restructuring in order to survive the aftermath of the great depression. during the rest of the 1930s gläserkarosserie produced cabriolet and other bespoke bodies for auto union brands, notably luxury bodies for horch cars, but they were also producing bodies for use with chassis from other mainstream german car makers including opel and bmw. from 1935 the factory was also supporting german rearmament with special bodies for "commando/staff cars" based on steyr and skoda chassis, and specialist conversions of ford and opel commercial vehicles. by the time war resumed in september 1939 they were also producing a plethora of components and sub-assemblies for messerchmitt fighter planes. overall activity was by now at a high level, and as the war progressed it became hard to find workers with the skill levels needed. by the mid-1940s bachmann had received an allocation of 1,000 foreign workers along with between 150 and 180 soviet prisoners of war in order to keep the factories running. the massive bomb attack that destroyed large parts of dresden on 13 and 14 february 1945 did not spare gläserkarosserie. the dresden premises were largely destroyed, with just four administration office rooms left. some of the materials and production equipment for the messerschmitt sub-assemblies survived. however, and the government ordered that these be crated up and placed on 40 rail wagons. they were then moved in march 1945 to neustadt an der waldnaab where it was believed that they were less at risk of destruction from aerial bombing by the british and americans. war ended in may 1945 with saxony in the soviet occupation zone in what remained of germany. despite the destruction of dresden, the out of town gläserkarosserie premises at radeberg had not been destroyed. there was nevertheless a period of much uncertainty as to what would become of the operation under soviet administration, while much machinery and tooling found their way to the soviet union, both as part of the reparations package agreed between the victorious powers, and less formally. the territory was remodeled according to soviet precepts: these did not favour private companies. gläserkarosserie re-emerged as a publicly owned operation ("volkseigener betrieb" / veb), the "veb karosseriewerk dresden (kwd)". production resumed with a succession of one-off specials for the occupation forces. serial production started, in 1947, of cabriolet bodied versions of the ifa f8, which was in effect a barely changed successor to the pre-war dkw f8. two years later, in october 1949, the soviet occupation zone was replaced by the soviet sponsored german democratic republic: the division of germany into two separate countries had evidently become permanent. by 1953 43,600 car bodies had been produced by kwd (formerly gläserkarosserie) in saxony. as the 1950s progressed, the enterprise also produced bodywork for wartburg models and for the low volume sachsenring p240. in 1956, a cabriolet version of the wartburg 311 joined the line-up, with 2,670 completed by 1960 when this variant was withdrawn. kwd also participated in development of the composite plastic bodywork of the awz p70 zwickau, itself a precursor to the better remembered trabant. between 1968 and 1990 the plant was assembling the "tourist" (station wagon/estate car) version of the wartburg 353 and its volkswagen powered successor, the wartburg 1.3. by this time kwd was also assembling caravans at three nearby satellite factories in dresden, rosenthal and wilsdruff. during the 1970s and 1980s kwd activities became increasingly integrated with those of wartburg. following reunification, formally in october 1990, the political and legal context changed dramatically. in 1994 "veb kwd" was privatised, becoming a major supplier of floor panels and a plethora of other sheet steel components to volkswagen and to the german auto industry more generally. it is now part of the wolfsburg based . erich heuer relocated machinery left behind by the soviets to ullersricht near weiden in north-eastern bavaria. under the new arrangements, bavaria was now part of the us occupation zone, which in may 1949 would become part of the new german federal republic, thereby politically separated from the business's saxon homeland till 1990. here he was able to produce between 100 and 250 cabriolet bodies for the porsche 356. there were also 16 aluminium bodies produced for the legendary porsche 540 "america roadster". however, following miscalculations heuer had to abandon production in november 1952. château laroque is a bordeaux wine which has the appellation saint-émilion, ranked "grand cru classé" in the classification of saint-émilion wine. the winery is located in the right bank of france’s bordeaux wine region in the department gironde. chateau laroque dates back to the 12th century. the chateau itself was constructed in the 17th century and remains a backdrop for the

signed by the pittsburgh steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2015. me 4 u is the debut studio album by jamaican singer omi. it was released on 16 october 2015 through ultra music and columbia records. two singles have been released from the album: "cheerleader" (remixed by felix jaehn) and "hula hoop". the first single "cheerleader" became a massive global success in 2015, reached number one in 20 countries, including the united states, the united kingdom, australia, france, and germany. the first single "cheerleader" was eight years in the making. omi stated in an interview with "billboard", “i woke up humming the melody one morning when i was 21,” says omi, who still lives in clarendon, the sleepy village he grew up in, a stone’s throw from kingston. “it was like a little jamaican nursery rhyme, like ‘one, two, buckle my shoe,’ that kind of thing – ‘ring game’ is what we’d call it. the rest of the song just fell into place like a jigsaw puzzle.” he also stated “people are expecting 15 [versions of] ‘cheerleader,’ but it’s going to be pretty diverse, with a few features and songs written from different perspectives.” the album received mixed reviews from critics. david jeffries of allmusic stated "omi delivers this all in a wonderful voice, falling somewhere between roots star tarrus riley and kevin lyttle when it comes to island authenticity, the singer turns to the same great guest nicki minaj chooses, dancehall singer busy signal, who kicks 'color of my lips' up a notch or two. 'fireworks' is a sexy soca number that r. kelly could cover, while the title cut is a warm and powerful duet with sarah west, although she doesn't get a feature credit on the album like busy, erik hassle, and aronchupa do, even though she certainly deserves one. for a rushed-to-market, crossover album capitalizing on a global hit, the pleasing "me 4 u" is much more well-built, well-paced, and well-rounded than expected. annie licata of "rolling stone" stated the best tracks on "me 4 u" "are built for good times and warm weather, complete with steel drum beats and odes to the singer's island home ('the streets, they salute me/i'm home again,' he sings on the upbeat, heartfelt 'promised land'). 'color of my lips', which features a winning guest verse from busy signal, and 'hula hoop' match the catchy melodies and silky vocals heard on 'cheerleader.' a few other highlights further the vibe of naive crushes and summertime fun. but omi's attempts at darker love songs mostly fall flat. 'standing on all threes' is a woeful, surface-deep guitar jam. the title track leans heavily on a pallid r&b beat, and while omi's vocals hit their notes, the song never catches fire. most of his newfound fans would have a better time making a playlist with 'cheerleader' 14 times in a row." "me 4 u" debuted at number 51 on the us "billboard" 200 chart, selling 9,000 equivalent copies (3,000 in pure album sales). richard d. mattes is an american nutrition scientist and distinguished professor in the department of nutrition science at purdue university in west lafayette, indiana. he has been described as one of america's leading nutrition scientists. mattes received his b.s. in biology from the university of michigan in 1975, his m.p.h. in public health nutrition at the university of michigan school of public health in 1978, and his ph.d. from cornell university in human nutrition in 1981. in 2007, mattes co-authored a study which found that people who consumed caloric beverages did not compensate for the calories in them as much as people who consumed solid food. in 2015, he published a study reporting that the taste of fat deserved to be considered another basic taste, alongside sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. mattes and his co-authors coined the term "oleogustus" to describe this taste. as of 2013, mattes was also working on researching the health effects of nuts, with the aim of determining whether they can remain appealing as a substitute for other snacks. edward irving nickerson (1845-1908) was an american architect from providence, rhode island. he was known especially for large queen anne style wooden residences, mostly in providence. nickerson was born in 1845 in pawtucket, rhode island, and attended the local schools. after leaving school, in about 1862, he entered the office of providence architect clifton a. hall, where he remained until 1871, when he opened his own office. after practicing for some time, he embarked on an extended tour of europe which lasted until his return to rhode island in 1881. he then practiced until his death, though no works of his are known after 1897. he was married to lyra f. (brown) nickerson, the daughter of a founder of brown & sharpe. the brown money enabled nickerson to travel abroad many times. at least one of nickerson's works has been listed independently on the national register of historic places, and many others are contributing properties to listed historic districts. the village of panyali is situated in the union council banni passari, 9 km away from

the university of oregon in eugene, oregon. basketball is one of eleven varsity women's sports at the university of oregon. the team is a member of the pac-12 conference and a division i team in the national collegiate athletic association. matthew knight arena is the home venue for both women's and men's basketball and women's volleyball. nike provides the official team uniforms for university of oregon sports teams. women's basketball (as a zoned, single-dribble game) at the university of oregon started as a club in 1899, brought to oregon by physical education instructor alice chapman, wife of university president charles chapman. with a women's intercollegiate game emerging at willamette university, oregon agricultural college, pacific university, and elsewhere, an effort was made during the 1902-03 academic year to organize a women's university team. this effort was waylaid by the oregon faculty athletic committee early in january 1903, however, with the committee deeming it "not advisable" for the "young ladies' basketball team" to enter into intercollegiate games. instead, it was hoped that two campus teams could be organized to keep competition on a local level. the sport became an "interest group" in 1965. intercollegiate games also began in 1965, and in 1966, the women's team entered the northwest college women's sports association (which would eventually become the aiaw region 9 conference). the program became official in 1973, the year following the passage of title ix, which required federally supported universities to offer equal opportunities in men's and women's athletics. they have an all-time record (as of the end of the 2015–16 season) of 706–507. they previously played in the northwest basketball league from 1977–1982 (47–5 all-time record) and the norpac conference from 1982–1986 (34–12 all-time record) before the pacific-10 conference, now known as the pac-12 conference, began sponsoring women's sports in 1986. the ducks'

and the team posted 2–10 and 5–15 records, respectively. head coach elwin heiny took over the program in 1976 and remained coach until 1993. heiny was the first full-time coach hired for women's basketball. in his first season as head coach, heiny coached the team to its first winning record (11–6). jody runge took over as head coach in 1993 and coached until 2001. she coached the ducks to ncaa tournament appearances during each of her eight seasons as coach. runge also spoke out for equality in women's athletics. from 2001–2009, former oregon ducks all-american bev smith coached the team, posting an 83–69 overall record. paul westhead coached the ducks from the 2009–10 season through the 2013–14 season. the current head coach is kelly graves, assisted by associate head coach mark campbell, and assistant coaches jodie berry and xavi lópez. the early women's basketball clubs played in gerlinger hall on the university of oregon campus, built in 1927 to serve as the women's

former hamlet. the area was formerly the site of a major north eastern railway engine shed, dairycoates engine shed (est.1863, closed 1970). most of the dairycoates area is now in industrial use, including the "brighton street industrial estate", located on former rail use land. dairycoates is located roughly halfway between the town centres of hull and hessle, at the western edge of the hessle road urban area, and its junction with the a1166; gipsyville is immediately to the west, and contains the "dairycoates industrial estate"; the two areas are separated by the hull to selby railway line which runs to paragon station and the hull docks. hawthorn avenue connects northward to the anlaby road area of hull. most of the modern area is used for industrial activity, including the "brighton street industrial estate" on freightliner road. the modern a63 runs through the south of the area; to the south is the st andrews quay retail park. "dairycoates lodge" was constructed 1809 by antony atkinson, merchant. only three persons were recorded at dairycoates in edward baines' 1823 gazetteer: two persons involved in brick and tile manufacturing including anthony atkinson, and a farmer. hawthorn avenue (then chalk lane) was built sometime after 1824. the hull and selby railway was constructed through the area in the 1830s. in 1846 a branch line, the hull and bridlington branch line was constructed from the hull and selby line at a junction at dairycoates. an engine shed was first established . the shed was expanded during the late 19th and early 20th century into one of the largest on the north eastern railway's system. two square roundhouse sheds were added 1876. in the 1850s the area contained only the railway lines; the hamlet (farm) of dairy coates, located within the triangle of land formed by the junctions of the railway lines; a brick and tile works to the east; and further east, the houses dairy coates grange, and dairy coates lodge; the land was in agricultural use, and the only roads the east west "hessle and north ferriby turnpike" (later "hessle road"), and chalk lane, running north off it. the area was adjacent to the humber estuary bank, and the hull railway ran alongside the bank. much of the area was within the (detached) parish of north ferriby. sheahan recorded a residence "dairycoates villa", on the humber bank within the boundaries of hull, and beyond it dairycoates lodge. "dairycoates inn" was built in 1874. a wagon works, "newington wagon works" (later "hull cart, wagon & iron company") was established in 1879, east of the bridlington railway line and south of hessle road. to the south of the railway line st andrew's dock was opened in 1883 (expanded 1890s), on land reclaimed from the humber. the hull and barnsley railway opened in 1885, with branch line passing through the area to a freight terminus, neptune street goods station. by the 1890s dairycoates grange and lodge had been demolished, replaced by the expansion of the railway lines. by the same period the westwards urban growth of hull along hessle road had reached the area. by the first decade of the 20th century the urban extent of hull had become continuous westwards as far as dairycoates, with the hull and bridlington branch line coincident with the western boundary of urban growth. the industrial development and housing later known as gipsyville, west of dairycoates had begun by this period. the general pattern of development remained constant through much of the 20th century, whilst hull grew westwards into gipsyville and towards hessle and anlaby. a church, st mary and st peter was established on hessle road in 1902, north of the wagon works; in 1906 it became a chapelry of the parish of newington (deconsecreated and demolished, 1962). in 1912 the "eureka" cinema opened on hessle road (closed 1959). (see also closed cinemas in kingston upon hull). the dairycoates engine shed was expanded by the addition of a third shed in 1915/16. a mechanical coaling plant was also added in the same period. at the 1923 grouping the overall facility contained 6 roundhouses, and a straight shed, with a capacity of 150 engines. in 1962 the level crossing ("hessle road (dairycoates) level crossing") at the eastern edge of the area was replaced with a road flyover (the "hessle road flyover" or "dairycoates flyover") at a cost of over £800,000 to reduce road congestion. nearly £500,000 was contributed by the government, and nearly £140,000 by the btc. the dairycoates engine shed closed in 1970. tilcon built a rail connected asphalt concrete plant in the 1970s. as of 2013 the plant is operated by lafarge tarmac (2013), with the rail connection operated by db schenker rail (uk). supplied (2009) with stone from rylstone. the neptune street goods branch of the former hull and barnsley line also had been closed and removed by the 1970s. by the 1990s the former railway and engine shed land had been redeveloped as an industrial estate. birds eye opened a pea processing facility on the estate in 2007. a lidl supermarket was built in the 2000s over a site including the demolished former eureka picture palace. in 2016 lidl announced it intended to close its supermarket and build a larger one across from the previous site nearer to brighton street. the 2015 africa t20 cup was a twenty20 cricket tournament held in south africa from 4 september to 4 october 2015, as a curtain-raiser to the

is located in the right bank of france’s bordeaux wine region in the department gironde. in the 16th century larcis ducasse’s wines were extremely popular and already highly sought-after. records show that in 1777 they were purchased at a very high price by pierre beylot. then, in 1841, lecoutre de beauvais mentions larcis as being one of the best saint-emilion crus. a few years later in 1867, a first gold medal from the international exposition in paris was awarded for the quality of the wines produced in this exceptional terroir. in 1893, château larcis ducasse was purchased by henry raba – a direct descendant of a major bordeaux ship-owning and merchant family based in bordeaux from the 18th century. his passion led him to invest a significant portion of his fortune in maintaining this terraced vineyard and equipping the chateau with state-of-the art winery equipment. his son andré took over upon his death in 1925. andré then died during the war. he was childless, so his niece hélène gratiot alphandéry inherited the property in 1941. she in her turn managed the property along with cellar-master pharaon roche and her son, jacques olivier gratiot, director with l’oréal and member of the jurade, became manager in 1990. today, château larcis ducasse is still in the hands of the gratiot alphandéry family and since 2002 the property has been under the management of nicolas thienpont. the vineyard area is around 11 hectares, with the grape varieties of approximately 65% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 10% cabernet sauvignon. mochalishche () is the name of several rural localities in russia: vivian howard (born 1978) is an american chef, restaurateur, author and television host. from 2013-2018, howard hosted the pbs television series "a chef's life" focusing on the ingredients and cooking traditions of eastern north carolina — using the backdrop of the "chef & the farmer" restaurant in kinston, north carolina, which howard co-owns with husband, business partner and artist, ben knight. in 2014, howard was the first woman since julia child to win a peabody award for a cooking program. in 2017, she authored an acclaimed cookbook and memoir, "deep run roots." howard grew up in deep run, nc, a small community near the town of kinston. her parents were farmers who raised hogs and grew tobacco, cotton, soybeans, and corn. at age 14, howard attended an all-female moravian boarding school, salem academy, in winston-salem, north carolina, and then spent two years at virginia episcopal school. in 2001, she earned her ba in english language from north carolina state university. during her time at ncsu, she studied abroad for a semester in argentina, as part of a culinary-themed program. after graduating, howard moved to new york city and began working in advertising for grey worldwide. she quit after 18 months and started working as a waitress at voyage restaurant. scott barton, the restaurant’s executive chef, became her early mentor. howard graduated from the institute of culinary education in nyc in 2004. she completed an internship at wylie dufresne's wd~50 and trained as chef de partie at jean-georges vongerichten's spice market. howard married ben knight, one of her coworkers at voyage, and the two started a soup delivery business out of their apartment in harlem, an effort that included chilling soup in the bathtub. despite offers from investors to open a brick and mortar location in new york, the couple agreed to accept howard’s parents' offer to buy a restaurant in kinston. howard and knight moved to north carolina in 2005 and opened chef & the farmer in 2006 in a downtown building that was previously a mule stable. more than 60% of the ingredients used in the restaurant come from within a 90-mile radius. the restaurant creates modern interpretations of traditional southern dishes, often collected from members of her family's eastern north carolina community. in 2018, howard said "older folks in our community teach me how to make something very simple. one of the things i like about "a chef's life" and dislike about modern media, in general, is that [our culture is] very young-person-new-ideas driven, and i don’t think people call on the wisdom of older folks very much. to learn from them and share has been wonderful." in 2012, the chef & the farmer building caught fire and was rebuilt. in 2013, howard and knight opened the boiler room, a casual spot that serves oysters and burgers catty-corner from chef & the farmer. howard has authored a cookbook and memoir, titled "deep run roots - stories and recipes from my corner of the south" , which was released in october 2016. after the book was released, it remained on the new york times bestseller list for 3 weeks. in 2017, the book won four iacp cookbook awards including: cookbook of the year, julia child first book award, outstanding restaurant cookbook, and outstanding cookbook in the general category. howard plans to write another cookbook to be released in 2019. howard and knight opened a restaurant called benny's big time pizzeria on december 12, 2017, in the warehouse district of wilmington, nc. chef & the farmer has made kinston, nc, a tourist destination, with people traveling from all over the united states to eat there. storytelling is an essential piece of howard's style as a chef: "i believe in cooking food that has a story behind it and integrity to it - food with a very specific sense of place and that people want to eat." in 2011, after being concerned that certain food traditions would be lost without documentation, howard contacted her friend cynthia hill, a filmmaker from eastern north carolina. together, howard and hill filmed a pilot. pbs and south carolina

(born june 2, 1992) is an american football wide receiver who currently plays for the winnipeg blue bombers of the canadian football league (cfl). he played high school football at osbourn high school in manassas, virginia. he played college football at florida atlantic, and was signed by the dallas cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2015. he has also been a member of the new york jets. whitehead was born in manassas, virginia on june 2, 1992. he attended george c. round elementary and osbourn high school where he played wide receiver and cornerback on the football team, while being named all-conference as a senior. whitehead moved on to dean college in franklin, massachusetts, where he played wide receiver and return specialist, receiving all-american and all-conference honors. in 2013, he transferred to florida atlantic university and registered 284 all-purpose yards. as a senior, whitehead was the team's slot receiver, registering 76 receptions, which led the conference, for 706 yards and six touchdowns, 21 carries for 210 yards and two touchdowns, and a 24.7-yard average on kickoff returns. he had a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown in his last college game against old dominion university whitehead was signed as an undrafted free agent by the dallas cowboys after the 2015 nfl draft. he made the team as one of the players that was looked upon to replace the departed dwayne harris special teams production. although wide receiver cole beasley was the assigned punt returner early in the season, because he provided better ball security, whitehead was given opportunities until earning the returner role for the final six games. he only averaged 5.8 yards per attempt as a punt returner, but showed glimpses as a kickoff returner (28.3 yards avg.), like his 79-yard kickoff return against the philadelphia eagles or his key 46-yard kickoff return against the washington redskins to set up the game-winning field goal with 14 seconds left. whitehead was used on offense with special runs designed for him. in the sixth game of the season against the new york giants, he set a franchise record for a wide receiver with four rushing attempts. he finished the 2015 season with 10 rushes for 107 yards and six receptions for 16 yards. in the preseason opener, which was the first nfl game in los angeles since 1994, against the los angeles rams at the los

green bay packers, whitehead caught a career-long 35-yard reception from quarterback dak prescott, as well as a season-long 26 yard run. whitehead experienced problems during the season, like his critical fumble during a run against the minnesota vikings. the next week after being late to team meetings on the saturday before the trip to new york, he was subsequently left home, fined and de-activated against the new york giants. whitehead remained more effective as a runner out of the backfield than at wide receiver, and was inconsistent as a return specialist. he shared the returner role with beasley and running back lance dunbar, especially in critical situations, when better ball security was required. he had a total of three fumbles, losing two. on july 24, 2017, it was revealed that whitehead was facing misdemeanor petty larceny charges stemming from an arrest in june having stolen $25 of goods from a wawa convenience store in prince william county, virginia and skipped court summons. later that day after the team's first training camp practice, he was released by the cowboys. the charges were dropped and he was cleared by the police when it was determined the next day that the charges were based on mistaken identity. on july 26, 2017, whitehead was claimed off waivers by the new york jets. on august 16, 2017, it was revealed that whitehead would undergo surgery for a fractured foot he suffered in practice, with an estimated recovery time of four to six weeks. he was waived/injured on september 2, 2017 and was placed on injured reserve. he was

stolen and held for ransom. the following day, whitehead posted on snapchat, confirming that blitz was safely returned to him. whitehead said that he refused to write a check for $10,000, as the perpetrator had initially demanded, but agreed to pay an undisclosed amount of money after making sure blitz was okay. he dated former teacher priscilla burgos of emmett j. conrad in 2018 then later broke up the same year. aripiprazole lauroxil (brand name aristada) is a long-acting injectable atypical antipsychotic that was developed by alkermes. it is an n-acyloxymethyl prodrug of aripiprazole that is administered via intramuscular injection once every four to eight weeks for the treatment of schizophrenia. aripiprazole lauroxil was approved by the u.s. fda on 5 october 2015. aripiprazole lauroxil extended release injection gained fda approval in 2015 as a treatment for adults suffering from schizophrenia. like any long-term acting injectable, aripiprazole lauroxil provides assurance to families and health care professionals that patients receive therapeutic medication throughout the day. aripiprazole lauroxil is injected into the arm or buttocks of a patient by a health care professional once every four to six weeks. aripiprazole lauroxil is a longer-lasting and injectable version of the schizophrenia pill aripiprazole, which means that the treatment is available in two doses. aripiprazole lauroxil, along with other drugs in its family, are not approved for treatment of elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. the approval of aripiprazole lauroxil from the food and drug administration in 2015 was solely for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. the ability to supplement aripiprazole lauroxil with oral supplements of aripiprazole allows for dosing flexibility, which is important for the treatment of schizophrenia, as symptoms and intensity of the disease vary greatly from patient to patient. additionally, as in concurrence with its sister drug aripiprazole, aripiprazole lauroxil is similar in effect of typical antipsychotic drugs. in the sister drug aripiprazole, side effects for patients were less frequently extrapyramidal than most antipsychotic drugs. the most common side effects are akathisia. according to the drug’s warning label and safety information, the side effects are large in variety. the complete list of side effects include: akathisia, contraindication cerebrovascular adverse reactions (including stroke), neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, metabolic changes, hyperglycemia/diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, weight gain, orthostatic hypotension, leukopenia, neutropenia, agranulocytosis, seizures, potential for cognitive and motor impairment, difficulties with body temperature regulation, dysphagia, injection-site reactions (rash, swelling, redness, irritation at the point of injection), dystonia and pregnancy and nursing complications. the british national formulary recommends a gradual withdrawal when discontinuing antipsychotics to avoid acute withdrawal syndrome or rapid relapse. symptoms of withdrawal commonly include nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. other symptoms may include restlessness, increased sweating, and trouble sleeping. less commonly there may be a felling of the world spinning, numbness, or muscle pains. symptoms generally resolve after a short period of time. there is tentative evidence that discontinuation of antipsychotics can result in psychosis. it may also result in reoccurrence of the condition that is being treated. rarely tardive dyskinesia can occur when the medication is stopped. the largest known case of ingestion with a known outcome involved a 1260 mg of oral aripiprazole, 42 times the recommended dose. the patient survived and fully recovered. common adverse reactions, reported in at least 5% of overdose cases, included vomiting, somnolence, and tremor. other clinically important signs and symptoms of overdoses include acidosis, aggression, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, coma, confusion, convulsion, depressed level of consciousness, hypertension, hypokalemia, hypotension, lethargy, loss of consciousness, pneumonia aspiration, respiratory arrest, status epilepticus, and tachycardia. arristada is injected into the intramuscles as an atypical antipsychotic. in one 12-week clinical trial involving 622 participants, the efficacy of extended aripiprazole was demonstrated. its mechanism of action is not completely known, but is thought to be converted by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis to n-hydroxymethyl aripirazole. the hydroxymethyl aripirazole is then hydrolysed to aripiprazole. efficacy could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity d2 and 5-ht1a receptors and antagonist activity at 5-ht2a receptors. since it is a newly approved drug by the fda, many validation of mechanisms of action are still being studied. aripiprazole exhibits high affinity for serotonin 5-ht1a, 5-ht2a receptors, dopamine d2, and dopamine d3. moderate affinity is exhibited for serotonin 5-ht7, alpha1-adrenergic, dopamine d4, histamine h1, and serotonin re-uptake site. no affinity for cholinergic muscarinic receptors have been found. aristada’s activity in the body is due to aripiprazole and also dehydro-aripiprazole. dehydro-aripirazole has been shown to have affinities for d2 receptors. these d2 receptors have similarities to aripiprazole whereas they represent 30-40% of exposure of aripiprazole in plasma. after 5 to 6 days of the single intramuscular injection appearance of aripiprazole in circulation, it additionally will be released for 36 days. in the fourth monthly injection, consecutive doses of aristada will reach steady-state. with additional supplements of the oral aripiprazole at a dosage of 21 days during the first dose of aristada, aripiprazole concentrations within 4 days can reach therapeutic levels. aristada can be administered in three dosages of 441 mg, 662 mg and 882 mg. the smallest dosage can be injected in the deltoid or gluteus of the patient, while the higher doses must be injected into the gluteus. dosages of 441 mg or 662 mg must be repeated once every four weeks, while the dosage of 882 mg must be repeated once every six weeks. the dosages are determined based on the daily needs of the specific patient, but the timing and injection sites are not based on the needs of the patient and correspond to the amount in each dose. aristada dosing is recommended to occur once every four weeks for doses of 441 mg or 662 mg. the recommended dosing for 882 mg is once every six weeks. these durations between doses should be maintained as much as possible. an aristada injection should not be given any earlier than at least 14 days after the most recent injection. when a dose is missed, administer the next injection of aripiprazole lauroxil as soon as possible. it is important to keep the timing of the administration of the drug somewhat regular, as irregular dosing can produce sometimes unpredictable effects on the patient. if the length of time since an injection exceeds the length of time as listed in the following table, use oral aripiprazole supplementation with the next aripiprazole lauroxil injection as listed: once stabilized on aripiprazole, people taking cyp2d6 or cyp3a4 inhibitors or cyp3a4 inducers should refer to the dosing recommendations below, there are no dosage changes recommended for aripiprazole lauroxil if cyp450 modulators are added for less than two weeks. poynter's grove, sometimes known as pointers grove or poynters hall, was a house that once existed in totteridge, north london. the house was originally in the ownership of sir richard gurney, a royalist in the english civil war and lord mayor of london, who died in the tower of london in 1647. the house then had a succession of largely aristocratic owners before entering the ownership of the puget family. by the late nineteenth century, the house was owned by colonel john hey puget of the 8th king's royal irish hussars. it was sold around the time of his death in 1894 and had several other owners before being demolished around 1925. in 1876, lewis gordon died here. it was also the birthplace of the publisher cecil harmsworth king in 1901, whose grandmother, geraldine maffett harmsworth, was the then-owner

"cyamodus hildegardis" tooth bearing elements were found in the stomach region of the specimen. the holotype was collected at punkt 902 of monte san giorgio, from layer 97 of the grenzbitumen zone, dating to the anisian-ladinian boundary of the middle triassic. kuhn-schnyner (1990) reassigned the species to its own genus, creating the combination "s. buzzii". the generic name honors a church near the collection locality of the holotype, dedicated to saint sylvester, a pope during the reign of constantine the great, and from greek "saurus", meaning "lizard", a common suffix for genus names of extinct reptile. rieppel (1998) reassigned "s. buzzii" back to its original combination "lariosaurus buzzii", together with another lariosaurine genus "ceresiosaurus". rieppel (1998) found the two species to form a clade with "lariosaurus valceresii", while the other species of "lariosaurus" (incl. the type "l. balsami") formed a second clade, a sister taxon to the first. in 2004, however, this synonymy was objected by hänni who described and named a second species for "ceresiosaurus", and by several other authors since. "silvestrosaurus" is very similar to its close relative "lariosaurus" (see above) but there are enough differences for most people to assign them to different genera. the nasal has no contact with the prefrontal, separated by processes of the frontal and maxilla, and many parts of the skull, such as the parietal and postfrontal bones, are much broader and flatter than in "lariosaurus." the clavicles do not meet in an anteromedial suture, unlike in "lariosaurus." in "silvestrosaurus" the radius is slightly longer than the ulna, but in "lariosaurus" they are the same length or the radius is shorter. as the back half of the skeleton is missing, we cannot compare the number of vertebrae. nor can we compare the hindfeet to see if "silvestrosaurus" had paddles like "ceresiosaurus" rather than individual toes like "lariosaurus." however, the front limbs definitely had paddles. "silvestrosaurus" was only around 60–70 cm long as an adult, making it relatively small for a nothosaur. ojie edoburun (born 2 june 1996) is a british track and field sprint athlete who competes in the 100m and 200-meter dash events. he competed at the 2013 world youth championships where he won a silver medal behind china's mo youxue in a then career best time of 10.35. charmaine pereira is a writer and feminist scholar in abuja, nigeria. her work centers on feminist thought, sexuality, gender education, and civil society and the state. pereira is also a coordinator for the initiative for women’s studies in nigeria. she is a member of tapestry consulting, an organization that seeks to create gender equality in the workplace in africa. in 1991, pereira received a ph.d. in psychology of education from the open university. in 2004, charmaine pereira co-edited "jacketed women: qualitative research methodologies on sexualities and gender in africa" with jane bennett. pereira currently teaches in the sociology department at ahmadu bello university. her work explores the challenges that a researcher encounters when interrogating the intersectionality of culture, gender, sexuality, law, and religion. st saviour's church, foremark is a grade i listed parish church in the church of england in foremark, derbyshire. the church dates from 1662 and was built by sir francis burdett, 2nd baronet. the oak lectern was given in 1920 as a memorial to all those who fell in the first world war. the church is in a joint parish with: misaki's olympic debut came at the 2000 summer olympics in sydney. there, she finished in a five-way tie for fifteenth position in the 10 m air rifle with a qualifying score of 392, just two points below the olympic final cutoff. misaki also competed in the 50 m rifle 3 positions, but slumped to a distant thirty-eighth in a 42-shooter field with 558 points, after she flubbed few shots in the kneeling series that contributed to her descent in the leaderboard. at the 2004 summer olympics in athens, misaki qualified for her second japanese team in rifle shooting. she managed to get a minimum qualifying standard of 397 to secure an olympic berth for japan in air rifle, following her top finish at the issf world cup meet in changwon, south korea a year earlier. in the 10 m air rifle, held on the first day of the games, misaki fired a modest 392 out of a possible 400 to force in a massive draw with six others for twenty-second place. nearly a week later, in the 50 m rifle 3 positions, misaki marked a brilliant 195 in prone, 185 in standing, and 189 in the kneeling series to accumulate a total score of 569 points in the qualifying round, closing her out of the final to twenty-fourth place. dromica erikssoni is a beetle species from the family of ground beetles (carabidae). the scientific name of the species was first published in 1892 by louis péringuey. the species was described from two specimens collected by axel eriksson in "northern ovampoland" (now in namibia). mark knowles and daniel nestor were the defending champions, but lost in quarterfinals to wayne black and kevin ullyett. black and ullyett won the title, defeating bob and mike bryan in the final 6–4, 6–2. all seeds received a bye into the second round. the conference usa men's soccer all-conference team is an annual selection of the best overall players in conference usa during the ncaa division i men's soccer season. selections are based on a vote by the head coaches and announced the day prior to the conference tournament. the teams are divided into first, second, and third all-conference teams what it was is an album by american jazz guitarist steve masakowski featuring performances recorded in 1993 for the blue note records label. in a "downbeat" magazine review, the album received a 4½ stars rating.

organizer. an early leader within the popular socialist party (psp), he briefly held national office in cuba following the cuban revolution but was purged due, in part, to his "old-line" marxist orthodoxy. he was later imprisoned over allegations he was plotting with the soviet union to orchestrate the overthrow of the fidel castro-led cuban government. anibal escalante was born in 1909, the son of a cuban independence fighter who fought under the command of calixto garcia. working with blas roca and others, escalante was an early influence in the formation of the popular socialist party (originally called the communist party of cuba, though not to be confused with the party organized by the merger of the psp and 26 july movement in the 1960s). beginning in 1938, with the legalization of the psp by the cuban government of fulgencio batista, escalante was editor of "hoy", the party's official newspaper. in the period immediately following the 1959 success of the cuban revolution, aníbal escalante occupied a leading role in the popular socialist party. however, its marxist orthodoxy and history of cooperation with the deposed government of fulgencio batista gave it a skeptical public reputation. largely sidelined in national politics, escalante and the psp took a backseat to fidel castro and his 26 july movement. following the bay of pigs invasion in april 1961, cuba appealed to the soviet union for military assistance. in exchange for aid, the psp was merged with the 26 july movement and the revolutionary directorate of 13 march into the integrated revolutionary organizations (ori), predecessor to the communist party of cuba, and escalante, who enjoyed support from moscow, elevated to its secretary. according to juanita castro, some referred to this period as the "anibalato". juanita castro noted that, during this period, "his picture ran in the papers more frequently than fidel's and more escalante people were finding their way into positions of power." escalante was dismissed from his post on march 22, 1962 by the ori leadership at the instigation of fidel castro. escalante, widely considered an "old line communist," was accused of building a party disconnected from the people. in a speech on march 26 of that year, castro described escalante as "having promoted the sectarian spirit to its highest possible level, of having promoted an organization which he controlled ... he simply allowed himself to be blinded by personal ambition." in a 1966 interview with an egyptian magazine, meanwhile, che guevera said that escalante had used his office to fill party positions with friends and colleagues who enjoyed "various privileges - beautiful secretaries, cadillac cars, air-conditioning." a cable from the polish embassy in havana to that nation's foreign ministry, meanwhile, gave the following account of escalante's purge which it reported had been provided to it by blas roca: the ouster of escalante resulted in a relaxation of the "stalinist atmosphere" that had been developing in cuba over the preceding months. timothy naftali has contended that escalante's dismissal was a motivating factor behind the soviet decision to place nuclear missiles in cuba in 1962. according to naftali, soviet foreign policy planners were concerned castro's break with escalante foreshadowed a cuban drift toward china and sought to solidify the soviet-cuban relationship through the missile basing program. after his dismissal, escalante spent two years in czechoslovakia. he returned and continued as an activist with the communist party of cuba, however, in 1967 was accused of being part of a faction of former popular socialist party members who were developing direct ties with eastern european governments outside of normal channels. the allegations involved officials from the soviet embassy in havana whom, raul castro claimed, were conspiring with escalante to orchestrate the overthrow of the cuban government. escalante and his confederates were charged with counter-revolutionary activities and, in february, he was convicted and sentenced to prison, though was later released. the purge of the "pro-soviet" escalante "microfaction" within the party was accompanied by the strong denouncement of the ussr by fidel castro before the latin american organization of solidarity. a 1983 report by the inter-american commission on human rights asserts that escalante's imprisonment marked the end of political pluralism within the communist party of cuba, claiming that "since the defeat and imprisonment in 1968 of the so-called 'microfaction' within the cuban communist party, led by anibal escalante, there has been no effective opposition to political power in cuba." escalante died, at the age of 67, of natural causes in cuba on 11 august 1977. escalante's nephew, pedro riera escalante, worked as a consul in the cuban embassy in mexico city from 1986 to 1991. in 2000, riera covertly left cuba and returned to mexico, where he requested asylum. his request was rejected by the mexican government and he was deported back to cuba. according to riera, his previous consular assignment in mexico was an official cover and he was, in fact, a cuban intelligence officer. inquirer bandera is a daily taglish tabloid newspaper based in metro manila, philippines. it is published by the inquirer publications, inc

[that] might have been produced by any intelligent person on the left." waldron sums up his assessment by stating that "so far as the positive suggestions are concerned, one is left frustrated by this book. the negative account of mainstream legal analysis is provocative, and the critique of its orientation to the courts is important and timely." robin bradley kar contends that unger's constructive program in "what should legal analysis become?" is inconsistent with his negative criticisms of contemporary american legal interpretation. in his review of the book in the "yale law journal", kar argued that unger's criticism of contemporary legal analysis rests on the idea that we should not rest our interpretations of law upon general "policies of collective welfare and principles of moral and political right," because such reliance works to suppress important parts of the democratic compromises that help advance radical democratic aims. but, kar points out, unger's constructive, positive program rests on "similarly general conceptions of democracy and human nature." kar concludes that "unger's entire work thus provides us with a useful moral about the dangers inherent in interpreting the law through the lens of theory." lorne sossin, reviewing the book in the "university of toronto law journal", praised "what should legal analysis become?" as a "provocative and enlightening" account of "the myths and contradictions upon which our political and legal institutions rest," one that may "facilitate transforming those institutions into more emancipatory forms." sossin notes that unger would add "prophecy" and "vision" to the pursuits of critical theory. sossin concludes that ""what should legal analysis become?" is in many ways an illustration of unger practicing what he preaches—reinventing and recombining ideas and elements of his previous thought into a reinvigorated critique. his analysis never fails to engage, though ... it does leave important questions unanswered." kar, robin bradley.

(wilfrid) ussner, then left b.c. together, and aside from a short time in montreal, 1962–63, with intermittent travels to europe and mexico, were located in toronto throughout the 1960s. dale and ussner collaborated professionally during this time, with ussner often affording dale opportunities for relief murals through his architectural projects, and dale providing the professional expertise to his clients who wished to integrate art and architecture. their close working relationship is evident in a joint brief montreal business venture, "techniques des arts," mounted in november 1962, that designated dale as director and ussner as architectural advisor. its opening coincided with dale’s exhibition of paintings and ceramics at the nearby small art-tech gallery, where her continued interest in the abstract sculptural surfaces of mayan architectural forms is evident in the works represented in the gallery invitation. by the mid-1960s dale had completed fourteen murals in central canada and spain, including works in clay, stained glass, sand casting, concrete and encaustic. dale’s first traceable ceramic commission was for the briarwood presbyterian church, beaconsfield, qc., c.1963. it is probable that this was facilitated through contacts she made during her montreal sojourn. however, it is known she made the abstract clay reliefs for the baptismal font, the lectern and front doors from a basement studio in her toronto home, using rough credit river clay from mississauga. dale also completed at least two other commissions in montreal churches, including ceramic panels for louvered windows in saint paul’s chapel, a sculpted altar, (architect w.r. ussner), and a twelve-foot stations of the cross. dale’s first major secular ceramic commission was executed in 1964-65 for sarco canada’s new facility in toronto, a building designed by ussner. with its intricate surfaces of cut bricks within which were integrated abstracted figures, representing "sympathy for man," it was clearly influenced by recently excavated mayan architecture. made of unglazed and glazed brick and sculptured stoneware, in colours ranging from venetian red through terra cotta, orange, grey, purple, blue and turquoise, the five hundred square foot mural covered a wall in the entrance to sarco’s toronto offices. a year later, champion and critic of the allied arts, anita aarons, prominently featured this project in an exhibition catalogue page dedicated to dale’s ceramic murals published in conjunction with the university of toronto and the royal architecture institute of canada. aarons also subsequently included her in a 1967 exhibition of arts and architecture and participated with her in a radio interview on the importance of the allied arts. dale’s last major ceramic work, and the largest, weighing five tons and measuring twenty-five hundred square feet (25' x 10'), was the untitled mural, or screen as it was called at the time, created for the centennial concert hall in winnipeg in 1967. this was one of four artworks commissioned for the building’s interior, and dale was the only artist chosen who did not have close ties to manitoba. dale’s previous experience in commissions allowed her to traverse the multiple stages of submissions and negotiations, from the initial 1966 call for submissions from artists specifically chosen by the arts committee until the final work was installed in january 1968. the mural was divided into four main sections: three circular ones with figures representing the performing arts of dance, music and drama, and one horizontal that included all those who worked backstage as well as the audience. in designing and fabricating this mural in sections for easy transportation and handling, dale turned once again to bricks as her base unit form and material, still inspired by mayan textures and sectional building techniques. she cut the clay bricks at a variety of heights and cut and reformed wet clay to construct the architectural shapes around her sculptured figures, themselves formed by the expressionist gestures of cutting, gouging and pushing. in 1969 dale received a canada council grant to pursue her studies in mexico where she began to experiment with fibreglass, a medium she consequently favoured, finding it more flexible than clay. these experiments culminated first in a mural commission for the winnipeg planetarium as part of the manitoba’s 1970 provincial centennial celebrations, financed by the bronfman family through cemp investments ltd. this black triptych representing the universe has since been removed and placed in storage at the planetarium. dale's next commission, a more colourful organic abstract fibreglass mural, measured 6 x 27 feet. designed for the lobby of the royal st. andrew apartment building in sarasota, florida, its colours ranged from blue to purple in a technique that used wax, a return to the encaustic technique dale had used a decade earlier. the fifth-floor studio from which dale worked in a century-old building on toronto’s market st. was severely damaged by a fire in march 1970 that destroyed the building. dale lost her kiln and art supplies. she was forced to relocate to jarvis street in the former salvation army offices where she pursued her fibreglass work. her last known relief was a fibreglass sculpture for the greenblade junior high school mississauga ontario (architect w.r. ussner). this thirty-inch wide mural, executed in three vertical sections, reached to a second-floor balcony was coloured in shades of blue. it was designed with apertures to allow children to physically interact with it. after the completion of this mural, dale she indicated she wished to focus on painting. dale was acutely aware of the logistical and aesthetic challenges of integrating art and architecture. in interviews she emphasized the range of knowledge required by an artist implicated in the allied arts, such as taking into account the light, colour, forms, textures, and even humidity of architectural spaces, being aware of a variety of installation materials and techniques, and acquiring the skills to work with a client’s aesthetics and philosophy. she believed that her works needed to be integrated with the architectural space, rather than imposed upon it, and should invite visual and tactile engagement. dale’s gender regularly played a role in the publicity she received in the popular press, with remarks about her small physical size and fashion sense appearing repeatedly, and even interest in her leisure time. her january 1978 death notice makes no mention of her career as an artist. rafael vidiella franch (1890 – 23 september 1982) was a trade unionist and communist politician from catalonia. he served as a minister in the government of catalonia during the spanish civil war (1936–39). rafael vidiella franch was born in tortosa in 1890. he became a typographer, and as a young man joined the anarchist "confederación nacional de trabajadores" (cnt, national confederation of workers). during the dictatorship of miguel primo de rivera from 1923 to 1930 he edited the newspaper "solidaridad obrera" ("worker's solidarity") in valencia. in 1925 vidiella represented the cnt in the communist-anarchist-esquerra discussions. he left the cnt and became an activist in the socialist "unión general de trabajadores" (ugt, general workers' union). from 1931 vidiella was head of the catalan federation of the "partido socialista obrero español" (psoe, spanish socialist workers' party). efforts to merge the small left-wing parties of catalonia began in march 1935. the "bloque obrero y campesino" and the "izquierda comunista" merged in october 1935 to form the "partido obrero de unificación marxista" (poum, workers' party of marxist unification). the "unió socialista de catalunya" was linked to the "esquerra catala" led by lluís companys, and were reluctant to join. negotiations over forming a unified party dragged out before the start of the civil war. the catalan communist federation wanted the new party to join the communist international, while vidiella as leader of the catalan federation of the psoe wanted the new party to join the labour and socialist international. joan comorera of the "unió socialista" did not want the new party to be affiliated with any international group. eventually, however, comorera and vidiella agreed that the new party could adhere to the comintern, and it was launched. in may 1936 vidiella resigned from the psoe national committee. after a few months comorera and vidiella became members of the "partido comunista español" (pce, spanish communist party) central committee. at first the "partit socialista unificat de catalunya" (psuc, unified socialist party of catalonia) had between two and five thousand members, but by march 1937 it may have had 50,000. on 21 july 1936 the "generalitat" passed a decree recognizing the central committee of anti-fascist militias of catalonia. vidiella and fernández were given charge of the investigation commission. in the government of the catalan "generalitat" named by president lluís companys on 31 july 1936 the psuc was given three ministries. joan comorera was minister of the economy, rafael vidiella was minister of communications and estanislau ruiz ponsetti was minister of supplies. the government wanted to avoid trials of people charged with murder during the revolutionary period that followed the defeat of the 18 july 1936 military uprising in catalonia. vidiella prepared a press release which said the council of the generalitat had unanimously accepted his proposal to order the courts not to treat "revolutionary events" as crimes. companys said it should not be published, but vidiella went ahead anyway and the report appeared in the newspapers. there was no public denial. the dominant cnt-fai objected to the inclusion of the psuc, and on 6 august 1936 a new government was formed that excluded the psuc. on 17 december 1936 a new "syndical" government of catalonia took office. three members of the psuc represented the ugt in this government: vidiella (justice), comorera (provisions) and miquel valdés (labor and public works). on 16 april 1937 there was a cabinet reshuffle and vidiella became minister of labor and public works. on 25 april 1937 roldán cortada, a psuc leader, was murdered. vidiella accused the anarchists of responsibility, and this led to the may days clashes between the stalinists and anarchists in the first week of may 1937. on 5 may 1937 the government resigned. antonio sesé, the psuc secretary, was killed shortly after being appointed to the new executive council of the generalidad. vidiella was appointed minister of public order, justice and labor in his place. on 28 june 1937 companys formed a new government in which vidiella was minister of labor and public works. he would hold this post for the remainder of the civil war. on 7 september 1937 vidiella said "the judges cannot consider accusations having to do with the revolutionary events provoked by the rebellious generals, since to do so would be to prosecute the revolution itself." after the civil war vidiella lived in exile in several countries before settling in budapest. during the struggle between joan comorera and the leadership of the "partido comunista de españa" (pce, spanish communist party) he sided with the latter. for several years he was one of the leaders of the pce. he contributed to the magazine "nous horitzons" founded in 1960. in 1976 he returned to spain and settled in barcelona, where he died on 23 september 1982. rose hum lee (august 20, 1904 – march 25, 1964) was a first generation chinese

andijan) is an uzbek sport shooter. she won a bronze medal in small-bore rifle prone at the 2000 asian championships in langkawi, malaysia, and was selected to compete for uzbekistan in two editions of the olympic games (2000 and 2004). akysonova's olympic debut came as a 21-year-old at the 2000 summer olympics in sydney. there, she finished in a massive eight-way tie for twentieth place in the 10 m air rifle with a qualifying score of 391, just three points below the olympic final cutoff. akysonova also competed in the 50 m rifle 3 positions, but plummeted to a thirtieth-place tie with cuba's eunice caballero and fellow markswoman yuliya shakhova at 567 points (194 in prone, 185 in standing, and 188 in the kneeling series) in the prelims. at the 2004 summer olympics in athens, aksyonova qualified as a lone markswoman for her second uzbek team in rifle shooting. she managed to get a minimum qualifying standard of a near-perfect 399 to secure an olympic berth for uzbekistan in air rifle, following her seventh-place finish at the asian championships in kuala lumpur, malaysia few months earlier. in the 10 m air rifle, held on the first day of the games, akysonova fired an ill-fated 384 out of a possible 400 to finish in a distant fortieth out of forty-four shooters. nearly a week later, in the 50 m rifle 3 positions, aksyonova marked 193 in prone, a substandard 175 in standing, and 190 in the kneeling series to accumulate a total score of 562 points in the qualifying round, closing her out of the final to twenty-ninth place. hildebrando pascoal nogueira neto (born 17 january 1952), popularly known as the "deputado motosserra" "(chainsaw representative)", is a brazilian politician and former colonel of acre state's military police. he was elected as a federal representative of the pfl, but was expelled by his party after his criminal activity came to light. he is best known for his brutality, including dismemberment by chainsaw, then killing with either a stake or bullet through the head. hildebrando worked most of his career in the military police, earning the rank of commander and then colonel. he then was elected state representative in 1994, with the support of orleir cameli and ronivon santiago (both of whom have also been investigated for corruption). as early as 1995, brazilian human rights groups and the ministry of justice (brazil) were investigating hildebrando. during these early periods, there were widespread reports that he dismembered victims with a chainsaw and participated in the drug trafficking trade he was tasked with fighting. however, during this investigation, most of the witnesses were assassinated, including a former accomplice of hildebrando named sebastião crispim. he was found dismembered with his eyes torn out. another witness was kidnapped with his two sons, ruthlessly tortured, and then killed. others were killed and then dissolved in acid. his most famous killing was of the baiano, agilson firmino dos santos. he was a mechanic that was rumored to have participated in the killing of hildebrando's brother. he tortured santos and chopped him to pieces with a chainsaw. while leading the criminal enterprise in the state, he participated in violent and horrific methods of enforcing his criminal rule. "one witness said he accompanied mr pascoal across the border to bolivia, where the congressman picked up nearly 1,000 kg of cocaine. the same witness said that under orders from his boss he helped to kill 10 people." despite these accusations, hildebrando was elected aa a federal representative to the chamber of deputies in 1998. a few months later in 1999, hildebrando was forced to resign after official charges were levied against him. in 2006 (and reaffirmed in 2009),hildebrando was convicted of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, torture, electoral corruption, leading a death squad in acre, and coordinating an organized crime operation for drug trafficking and cargo theft. he has been sentenced to serve 18.5 years in prison. however, with cases still pending, he could face more than 100 years. an anime television series produced by production i.g aired from april 6 to september 21, 2014 on mbs, other jnn stations, and with english subtitles on crunchyroll. from episodes 1-13, the opening theme song is "imagination" by spyair, while the ending theme song is "tenchi gaeshi" by nico touches the walls. for episodes 14 through 25, the opening is "ah yeah" by sukima switch, and the ending is "leo" by tacica.

"headlander" takes place in a futuristic setting inspired by 1970s science fiction televisions shows and movies such as "logan's run". in this future, humanity has opted to upload their consciousnesses to a world-encompassing cloud storage, forgoing their bodies but able to occupy the minds of robots as to carry out necessary tasks or otherwise enjoy corporeal pleasures. however, an artificial intelligence named methuselah has taken control of the robots, trapping the human consciousnesses inside them, and enslaved them for some nefarious purpose. the last human is awoken from cryogenic storage to deal with methuselah, but only their head has managed to survive the process and is suffering from amnesia. "headlander" plays out as a 2.5d metroidvania-style game. the character's head, equipped in a special helmet that allows the head to fly around, can also use its tractor beam to take the heads off the robots and use their bodies as needed. robots have specialized functions, so the player may be required to find the right type of robots and maneuver it through the game world to complete a task, such as using a security robot to open a door. the helmet includes a laser system that can be used to damage robots and protect itself, and can gain additional powerups that grant access to other areas of the game world. at times, the player is limited to using only the helmet and needs to fight through sections that are similar to bullet hell games. at other times, the player can also opt to use a robot body to engage in combat, which can include both ranged and melee fights, depending on what type of robot they choose.

"laverock " was launched on 19 november 1913. the ship was undergoing final acceptance trials on 1 march 1914 when she ran aground in the firth of clyde near skelmorlie. she was completed in october 1914.

"laverock" was part of the escort for the seaplane carrier when "vindex", covered by most of the harwich force, launched an unsuccessful air attack against a german zeppelin base believed to be at hoyer in schleswig-holstein on 25–26 march 1916. only two out of five seaplanes dispatched returned, reporting that the zeppelin base was in fact at tondern, but that they were unable to attack the base. tyrwhitt sent several of his destroyers, including "laverock" to search for the missing seaplanes. no sign of the missing seaplanes were found (they had, in fact, ditched due to engine trouble, and their crews captured by the germans) but the force did encounter two german patrol boats which they sank. when picking up survivors from the two patrol boats, "laverock" rammed the destroyer . while damage to "laverock" was confined to her bows, "medusa" had been holed in her engine room and was taken in tow by the flotilla leader , but due to the severe weather, "medusa" eventually had to be scuttled. during the return journey of tyrwhitt's force, the cruisers and also collided, badly damaging "undaunted", shortly after "cleopatra" rammed and sunk the german destroyer . the harwich force was held back as a reserve during the battle of jutland on 31 may–1 june 1916, but when the battleship was damaged by a german torpedo, "laverock" was one of eight destroyers of the harwich force sent to escort the crippled battleship to the humber. on 13 august 1916, "laverock", along with and was part of the escort of a harwich–holland convoy when "lassoo" struck a mine, killing six of her crew. believing that "lassoo" had been torpedoed, the other destroyers deployed their anti-submarine explosive sweeps. "laverock"s sweep detonated, but no debris came up. early in 1917, the 9th destroyer flotilla was split up, with the newer destroyers joining the 10th destroyer flotilla, and the l-class ships being dispersed to different units, with "laverock" joining the dover patrol. on the night of 24/25 february 1917, "laverock" was one of five destroyers (the others were "lance", , and ) patrolling the dover straits to guard against attack by german torpedo boats, while further forces of destroyers and cruisers were on standby in the downs and at dover. that night, german torpedo boats a raid against the dover barrage and allied shipping in the dover straits, with one flotilla attacking the barrage and a half flotilla of torpedo boats operating off the kent coast. the southern german force, the 6th flotilla, comprising six torpedo boats (equivalent to royal navy destroyers) encountered "laverock" and engaged the british destroyer with gunfire and at least two torpedoes, one of which struck "laverock" but did not detonate. "laverock" set out in pursuit of the german ships, which broke contact and returned to base, their commander believing that he was engaged with several destroyers and that his planned raid on dover was no longer possible. the second german group of five torpedo boats, was spotted near the north entrance to the downs, and shelled margate and westgate-on-sea prior to returning to base. on 18 april 1917, "laverock" left the 6th flotilla, joining the 4th flotilla, now based at devonport and employed on convoy escort duties. "laverock" remained part of the 4th flotilla at the end of the war on 11 november 1918.

as a replacement team for the departed senadores de san juan. they were based in bayamón, puerto rico, and played their home games at juan ramón loubriel stadium. the vaqueros won league pennants in the 1974–75, 1975–76, 1979–80 and 2001–02 seasons, winning the championship in its inaugural season and the right to represent puerto rico in the 1975 caribbean series, which was held at the hiram bithorn stadium in san juan, puerto rico. the bayamón club clinched the series and was managed by josé pagán, winning five games in a row before losing to the dominican republic's águilas cibaeñas in the closing game, 5 to 4. leading the offensive charge in the series was ken griffey, sr., who won the batting title with a .500 average (12-for-24) and scored the most runs in the tournament (eight). other contributions came from félix millán, who hit .435 (10-for-23) for the second best average, and willie montañez, who led all hitters with 11 runs batted in and tied for the most home runs (2), earning most valuable player honors. the puerto rican team also had a well-balanced lineup that included orlando álvarez, sergio ferrer, art howe, jay johnstone, jerry morales and eliseo rodríguez. on

that carlos baerga saved from bankruptcy two seasons prior headed to their first caribbean series since 1980. since baerga bought the ailing club it had failed to even make the playoffs. then this time the underdog vaqueros managed by carmelo martínez beat the highly favored cangrejeros de santurce of mako oliveras in the championship series, being guided by baerga, who posted a .500 batting average with three rbi and seven runs scored, leading him subsequently to be named series mvp en route to the 2002 caribbean series. but the vaqueros failed from day 1 at the caribbean series held in caracas, venezuela. bayamón's import pitching, solid and sharp in the puerto rico playoffs, opted not to join the team for the trip. as a result, none of bayamón's emergency starters in its first three games in caracas made it past the fifth inning. it was not until game 4 with the team 0–3 and all but mathematically eliminated from contention, that puerto rico won a game on a solid pitching effort. the team that baerga built pulled out an 8–4 victory over their rivals tigres del licey of the dominican republic, with omar olivares allowing just four hits and two runs over seven innings of work. but was too late for puerto rico, whose role in the tournament would be as a spoiler for the other three teams, ending with a 2–4 record while tying for third place with the local navegantes de magallanes, behind mexico's tomateros de culiacán (5–1) and the dominican's tigres del licey (3–3). beside the aforementioned, the vaqueros also featured players as luis aguayo, benny ayala, carlos

february 1947, in chur, switzerland), was a russian white movement officer who fought in world war i and civil war in russia, and in 1923 killed vatslav vorovsky, a member of the bolshevik delegation to the lausanne conference. conradi was born in saint petersburg to a family of swiss businessmen, owners of a chocolate factory established in 1853 by conradi's grandfather. upon the outbreak of world war i he joined the russian imperial army with the personal permission of nicholas ii and fought on the eastern front. during the bolshevik revolution most of his family was killed: his father was executed in saint petersburg on 26 november 1919, his brother victor taken hostage and executed in 1918, and two further siblings disappeared during the red terror. after the unsuccessful campaign of the wrangel army he moved to switzerland, radicalized against the bolshevik government and planning revenge. in april 1923 conradi attempted an assassination of bolshevik foreign affairs commisar georgy chicherin while he visited germany, but unable to find him he returned to geneva. finding out about the upcoming conference, he planned another assassination. vatslav vorovsky, ivan ariens and maxim divilkovsky were delegates of the bolshevik government to the 1923 conference of lausanne. on 10 may 1923 conradi and his companion arkady polunin (аркадий павлович полунин) entered the restaurant of the hotel cecil, shooting the bolshevik delegation. vorovsky was killed at the scene, and ariens and divilkovsky were wounded but survived. the murder was presented by the soviet press as a conspiracy of "fascist white radicals", in spite of the fact that vorovsky represented the bolsheviks in italy and after his death benito mussolini was one of those sending condolences. the trial of conradi and polunin was held in geneva and quickly turned into a trial of the whole bolshevik movement, with conradi widely supported by many white émigrés and russian activists in exile, including ivan bunin, ivan shmelyov and dmitry merezhkovsky. statements of witnesses, who volunteered to defend conradi, described the atrocities of the bolshevik revolution and red terror and attracted the attention of worldwide media. the prosecution was represented arguments of italian communists and bolshevik officials, who argued how happy life in soviet russia became after the revolution. defended by théodore aubert, conradi pleaded not guilty and was finally acquitted. conradi served in the french foreign legion and information about his death circulated in newspapers in 1931. he however returned safely and lived in switzerland until he died on 7 february 1947 in chur. conradi's surviving victims — ariens and divilkovsky — returned to the soviet union and held various positions in the administration. ariens was executed in 1937 during great purge, while divilkovsky died as a soldier in 1942. sauquoit creek is a river in new york, united states. it lies within the southern part of oneida county. the creek flows eastward, then turns sharply and flows generally northward through the sauquoit valley to the mohawk river, entering the river on the east side of whitesboro. it is therefore part of the hudson river watershed. the word sauquoit is a form of spelling of the oneida word "sa-da-quoit", which means "smooth pebbles in a stream". the first cotton mills in the area were located on the sauquoit at new york mills in 1804. sauquoit creek offers trout fishing along of public fishing rights easements. the stream is stocked annually approximately 6,000 yearling brown trout, in addition to 330 two-year-old fish. wild brown and brook trout are found in the stream's headwaters. the sauquoit creek basin intermunicipal commission (scbic), which consists of

salvini may refer to: horewell forest was a royal forest. in the west, it bordered the river severn, and strensham in the south and extended to pershore. it was partially disafforested in 1229. in the 1500s, the woodlands known has horewell wood still included strensham wood, hill wood, earl's croome, hill croome, croome d'abitot, bucknell wood, sapyes wood, besford and defford woods, and severn stoke. at that time, it belonged to the abbot of westminster, who granted it in 1542 to the dean and chapter of westminster. the remnants of the forest are detectable in the local biology, including unimproved commons and remnants of ancient woodlands. this is particularly true of the areas within the former croome estate, which includes remnants of the forest and unimproved former common lands. ann juanita morning is an american sociologist and demographer whose research focuses on race. in particular, she has studied racial and ethnic classification on censuses worldwide, as well as beliefs about racial difference in the united states and western europe. much of her work examines how contemporary science—particularly the field of genetics—influences how we conceptualize race. as an author, she is widely held in libraries worldwide. morning received her primary- and secondary-school education at the united nations international school in new york city, where she graduated with an international baccalaureate in 1986. she then earned her b.a. in economics and political science at yale university in 1990. as an undergraduate she also studied in paris at the institut d’etudes politiques and université de paris iii (censier-daubenton) during the 1988-89 academic year. in 1992, she earned a master’s in international affairs from columbia university’s school of international and public affairs (sipa), and then a ph.d. in sociology in 2004 at princeton university, where she was affiliated with the office of population research. morning began her career in 1992 as an economist at the federal reserve bank of new york, where she monitored the external debt burden of a portfolio of less-industrialized nations. in 1994, she joined the u.s. department of state as a foreign service officer, serving as vice consul at the u.s. embassy in tegucigalpa, honduras and completed a temporary tour of duty at the u.s. mission to the united nations in new york. she left the foreign service in late 1995 to become an assistant dean for academic affairs at her former graduate school, columbia university’s school of international and public affairs (sipa). she remained at sipa until beginning her doctoral studies at princeton in the fall of 1997. at princeton, morning was a student at the office of population research, and her first research projects focused on the uses of racial classification in demographic data like censuses. in particular, she undertook quantitative analyses of the classification of groups that did not easily fit traditional american racial categories, such as mixed-race people and people of south asian descent. with time, she developed an interest in individuals’ beliefs about the nature of racial difference, using the term “racial conceptualization” to get at the web of their interrelated beliefs about which groups constituted races, what demarcated them from each other, how they emerged, and how an individual’s membership in a racial group could be ascertained. her doctoral dissertation explored such concepts using qualitative data, and went on to win the american sociological association’s dissertation award in 2005. in 2011, it was published by the university of california press as "the nature of race: how scientists think and teach about human difference". while finishing up her doctoral dissertation, morning worked as a consultant to the u.s. census bureau, gathering and analyzing data on census racial and ethnic enumeration on nearly 140 nations around the globe. after earning her doctorate in 2004, she joined new york university’s department of sociology as an assistant professor, and was promoted to associate professor in 2011. since 2012, morning has also been an affiliated faculty member at nyu’s abu dhabi campus, teaching there regularly. and since 2013, she has been a member of the u.s. census bureau’s national advisory committee on racial, ethnic and other populations. ann morning continues to work on racial classification, racial conceptualization, and their intersection with contemporary science. a fulbright scholarship to the university of milan-bicocca in 2008-09 resulted in her current book project investigating italians’ beliefs about ethnic and racial difference, co-authored with sociologist marcello maneri of the university of milan-bicocca and due to be published by the russell sage foundation. tales from the vienna woods (, 1931) is a play by austro-hungarian writer ödön von horváth. it was premièred in berlin in 1931 and has been filmed several times. before the première, the german writer and playwright, carl zuckmayer nominated the play for the kleist prize, which it won, the most significant literary award of the weimar republic. the play's title is a reference to the waltz "tales from the vienna woods" by johann strauss ii. horváth's play premièred at the deutsches theater, berlin. written in the late 1920s during the period of catastrophic unemployment and the great depression, the play is a key work of modern drama, described by erich kästner as "a viennese folk play accompanied by viennese folk songs". it is a bitter satire about the mendacity and brutality of the petite-bourgeoisie, named ironically after the vienna woods near the austrian capital that are so idealised in the waltz. in the play, viennese "gemütlichkeit" or "coziness" becomes a hollow phrase; the tragic, brutal story of the sweet girl marianne and the deeply conventional butcher oskar reflects the hardships and anxieties of the late 1920s during the global economic crisis. the play is set in wachau, josefstadt, and the vienna woods just before the austrofascist takeover. it tells the fate of a naive young woman, marianne, who breaks off her reluctant engagement with oskar after falling in love with a fop named alfred who, however, has no serious interest in returning her love. for this error, she must pay bitterly. werner pirchner composed the incidental music to the play. the play was filmed for cinematic release in 1961 by director , starring johanna matz (marianne), walter kohut (alfred), helmuth lohner, hans moser (reprising his role of marianne's father from the 1931 berlin premiere), helmut qualtinger (oskar) and jane tilden (valerie), among others. another version was made for television in 1964, directed by michael kehlmann. a 1979 remake was undertaken by director maximilian schell, featuring (marianne), hanno pöschl (alfred), helmut qualtinger (zauberkönig), jane tilden (valerie), adrienne gessner (alfred's grandmother), götz kauffmann (oskar), andré heller (hierlinger) and (erich).

"m" expands on black metal's boundaries yet holds its dark, foreboding spirit close." "the austin chronicle" critic michael toland stated: "danish raven amalie bruun integrates extreme intensity into both genres' [goth/black metal's] inherent drama." sean barry of consequence of sound thought that ""m" doesn’t differentiate itself greatly from the early work of many black metal artists." barry further added: "the album shines with potential and the promise that a more unique followup waits further down the trail." "exclaim!" critic natalie zina walschots praised the album, writing: "the textures of "m" are even more finely hewn and interwoven than its predecessor, resulting in a record that is at once profoundly tactile and deeply sensual." grayson haver currin of pitchfork thought that "on "m", bruun is free and clear of any identity drama—and a much more convincing bandleader for it." "spin" critic colin joyce stated: "what remains bruun’s strongest suit is the way she juxtaposes the extremity of her influences." joyce further concluded: "she comes out of more subdued sections to use blast beats like scare tactics, drops in glacial vocal harmonies as soothing lullabies." the quietus' dean brown was also positive in his assessment of the album, writing: "by conveying the masculine and feminine duality inherent in old musical traditions and modern musical developments, bruun has composed a truly rewarding record that defies direct categorisation." nevertheless, sputnikmusic's elijah k. gave the album a mixed review, describing the album's sound as "painfully bland and too on the nose." album personnel as adapted from bandcamp. garden of the moon is a 1938 american comedy film directed by busby berkeley and written by jerry wald and richard macaulay. the film stars pat o'brien, margaret lindsay, john payne, johnnie davis, melville cooper and isabel jeans. the film was released by warner bros. on october 1, 1938. the abbottabad university of science and technology (aust) is a public university located at havelian (12 km from abbottabad), khyber pakhtunkhwa, pakistan. it offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various disciplines.. aust was started as a havelian campus of hazara university in 2008 and got its own charter in 2015. →→note that the hec has cancelled the noc for the ms mphill and phd courses as the university is unable to provide required labs. aust official website steganocerus multipunctatus thunberg 1783, or ladybird bug is a sub-saharan african member of the hemiptera with a strong resemblance to a ladybird. it is normally black with bright orange spots, but is quite variable in colour and may be brown without spots. it shares müllerian mimicry with the tortoise beetle "chiridopsis suffriani", and a spider "paraplectana thorntoni".

depression, britain's agricultural depression was caused by the dramatic fall in grain prices that followed the opening up of the american prairies to cultivation in the 1870s and the advent of cheap transportation with the rise of steamships. british agriculture did not recover from this depression until after the second world war. in 1846 parliament repealed the corn laws—which had imposed a tariff on imported grain—and thereby "de facto" instituted free trade. there was a widespread belief that free trade would lower prices immediately. however, this did not occur for about 25 years after repeal; the years 1853 to 1862 were famously described by lord ernle as the "golden age of english agriculture". this period of prosperity was caused by rising prices due to the discovery of gold in australia and california which encouraged industrial demand. grain prices dropped from 1848 to 1850 but went up again from 1853, with the crimean war (1853-1856) and the american civil war (1861-1865) preventing the export of cereals from russia and the united states, thereby shielding britain from the effects of free trade. britain enjoyed a series of good harvests (apart from in 1860) and the area of land under cultivation expanded, with increasing land values and increasing investments in drainage and buildings. in the opinion of historian robert ensor, the technology employed in british agriculture was superior to most farming on the continent due to more than a century of practical research and experimentation: "its breeds were the best, its cropping the most scientific, its yields the highest". ernle stated that "crops reached limits which production has never since exceeded, and probably, so far as anything certain can be predicted of the unknown, never will exceed". in 1862 the united states congress passed the homestead act which led to the settlement of a large part of the midwest. the united states also witnessed a great increase in railways, mainly across the prairies. in 1860 the united states possessed about 30,800 miles of railways; by 1880 this had increased to about 94,200 miles. the railway companies encouraged farmer-settlers by promising to transport their crops for less than cost for a number of years. due to the technological progress of shipping, there was for the first time plenty of cheap steam ships to transport their crops across the seas. this drove down transport costs: in 1873 the cost of transporting a ton of grain from chicago to liverpool was £37"s"., in 1880 it was £21"s". and in 1884 £14"s". new inventions in agricultural machinery also aided the american prairie farmer. due to the scarcity of hired farm labourers, prairie farmers had to collect their own harvest and the limit of their expansion was set by what one pair of hands could do. the advent of the reaper-binder in 1873 revolutionised harvesting because it meant the doubling of every farmer's crop as it enabled the reaping to be worked by one man instead of two. for these reasons, cheap imports of vast amounts of american prairie wheat were able to flood the market and undercut and overwhelm british wheat farmers. the bad harvests of 1875, 1877, 1878 and particularly the wet summer of 1879 disguised the cause of the depression. the duke of bedford wrote in 1897 that "agriculturalists and the nation at large were alike insensible to the real character of the depression...cheap marine transport had already thrown open the english market to the cereals of four continents...it is easy to be wise after the event, but it is strange that a catastrophe which was no longer merely impending but had actually taken place should have been regarded by those best able to judge as a passing cloud". in previous seasons of bad harvests, farmers were compensated by high prices caused by the scarcity. however, british farmers could no longer rely on high prices due to the cheap american imports. between 1871–75 and 1896–1900, the importation of wheat and flour increased by 90%, for meat it was 300% and for butter and cheese it was 110%. the price of wheat in britain declined from 56"s" 0"d" a quarter in 1867–71 to 27"s" 3"d" in 1894–98. the nadir came in 1894–95, when prices reached their lowest level for 150 years, 22s. 10d. on the eve of the depression, the total amount of land growing cereals was ; by 1898 this had declined to , a decline of about 22%. during the same period, the amount of land under permanent pasture rather than under cultivation increased by 19%. by 1900 wheat-growing land was only a little over 50% of the total of 1872 and shrank further until 1914. the depression also accelerated britain's rural depopulation. the 1881 census showed a decline of 92,250 agricultural labourers since 1871, with an increase of 53,496 urban labourers. many of these had previously been farm workers who migrated to the cities to find employment. between 1871 and 1901 the population of england and wales increased by 43% but the proportion of male agricultural labourers decreased by over one-third. according to sir james caird in his evidence to the royal commission on the depression in trade and industry in 1886, the annual income of landlords, tenants and labourers had fallen by £42,800,000 since 1876. no other country witnessed such a social transformation and british policy contrasted with those adopted on the continent. every wheat-growing country imposed tariffs in the wake of the explosion of american prairie wheat except britain and belgium. subsequently, britain became the most industrialised major country with the smallest proportion of its resources devoted to agriculture. britain's dependence on imported grain during the 1830s was 2%; during the 1860s it was 24%; during the 1880s it was 45% (for corn it was a whopping 65%). by 1914 britain was dependent on imports for four-fifths of her wheat and 40% of her meat. between 1809 and 1879, 88% of british millionaires had been landowners; between 1880 and 1914 this figure dropped to 33% and fell further after the first world war. during the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century, the british landed aristocracy were the wealthiest class in the world's richest country. in 1882 charles george milnes gaskell wrote that "the vast increase in the carrying power of ships, the facilities of intercourse with foreign countries, [and] the further cheapening of cereals and meat" meant that economically and politically the old landed class were no longer lords of the earth. the new wealthy elite were no longer british aristocrats but american businessmen, such as henry ford, john d. rockefeller and andrew w. mellon, who made their wealth from industry rather than land. by the late nineteenth century, british manufacturers eclipsed the aristocracy as the richest class in the nation. as arthur balfour stated in 1909: "the bulk of the great fortunes are now in a highly liquid state...they do not consist of huge landed estates, vast parks and castles, and all the rest of it". the prime minister at the outset of the depression, benjamin disraeli, had once been a staunch upholder of the corn laws and had predicted ruin for agriculture if they were repealed. however, unlike most other european governments, his government did not revive tariffs on imported cereals to save their farms and farmers. despite calls from landowners to reintroduce the corn laws, disraeli responded by saying that the issue was settled and that protection was impracticable. ensor claimed that the difference between britain and the continent was due to the latter having conscription; rural men were thought to be the best suited as soldiers, but for britain, with no conscript army, that did not apply. he also claimed that britain staked its future on continuing to be "the workshop of the world", as the leading manufacturing nation. robert blake claimed that disraeli was dissuaded from reviving protection because the urban working class was enjoying cheap imported food at a time of industrial depression and rising unemployment. enfranchised by disraeli in 1867, working men's votes were crucial in a general election and he did not want to antagonise them. however, disraeli's government appointed a royal commission on agricultural depression. it attributed the depression to bad harvests and foreign competition. its final report of 1882 recommended changing the burden of local taxation from real property to the consolidated fund and the setting up of a government department for agriculture. the new government, a liberal administration under william ewart gladstone, did little. lord salisbury's government founded the board of agriculture in 1889. after a series of droughts in the early 1890s, gladstone's government appointed another royal commission into the depression in 1894. its final report found foreign competition as the main cause in the fall in prices. it recommended changes in land tenure, tithes, education and other minor items. gerald geoffrey copleston (18 march 1921 – 1999) was an english actor, voice actor, and translator who worked primarily

church gresley, derbyshire. the church dates from 1100 and incorporates the remains of the nave of a small augustinian priory, gresley priory. the church was ruinous and restored in 1786. in 1872 a new chancel was added by arthur blomfield and all the seats were turned to face eastwards. in may 1932 the church was closed for 2 years because of the dangerous state of the ceiling. it re-opened in july 1934 after restoration. the pipe organ was installed by forster and andrews in 1860. it was later modified by s taylor in 1888, h cantrill in 1960 and henry groves & son in 2000. a specification

the 26th season since it was renamed from the european champion clubs' cup to the uefa champions league. the final was played between real madrid and liverpool at the nsc olimpiyskiy stadium in kiev, ukraine. real madrid, the defending champions, beat liverpool 3–1 to win a record-extending 13th title and their third title in a row. as winners, real madrid qualified as the uefa representative for the 2018 fifa club world cup in the united arab emirates, and also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2017–18 uefa europa league, atlético madrid, in the 2018 uefa super cup. moreover, they would also have been automatically qualified for the 2018–19 uefa champions league group stage, but since they had already qualified through their league performance, the berth reserved was given to the champions of the 2017–18 czech first league, the 11th-ranked association according to the 2018–19 access list. 79 teams from 54 of the 55 uefa member associations participated (the exception being liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league). the association ranking based on the uefa country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: kosovo, who became a uefa member on 3 may 2016, made their debut in the uefa champions league. for the 2017–18 uefa champions league, the associations are allocated places according to their 2016 uefa country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in european competitions from 2011–12 to 2015–16. apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the champions league, as noted below: in the default access list, the champions league title holders enter the group stage. however, since real madrid already qualified for the group stage (as the champions of the 2016–17 la liga), the champions league title holders berth in the group stage is given to the europa league title holders, manchester united. league positions of the previous season shown in parentheses (th: champions league title holders; el: europa league title holders). the schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at the uefa headquarters in nyon, switzerland, unless stated otherwise). in the qualifying rounds and the play-off round, teams are divided into seeded and unseeded teams based on their 2017 uefa club coefficients, and then drawn into two-legged home-and-away ties. teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. the third qualifying round was split into two separate sections: champions route (for league champions) and league route (for league non-champions). the losing teams in both sections entered the 2017–18 uefa europa league play-off round. the play-off round was split into two separate sections: champions route (for league champions) and league route (for league non-champions). the losing teams in both sections entered the 2017–18 uefa europa league group stage. the draw for the group stage was held on 24 august 2017, 18:00 cest, at the grimaldi forum in monaco. the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. for the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles (introduced starting 2015–16 season): in each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. the group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 16, while the third-placed teams entered the 2017–18 uefa europa league round of 32. the matchdays were 12–13 september, 26–27 september, 17–18 october, 31 october – 1 november, 21–22 november, and 5–6 december 2017. the youth teams of the clubs that qualify for the group stage also participated in the 2017–18 uefa youth league on the same matchdays, where they competed in the uefa champions league path (the youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations compete in a separate domestic champions path until the play-offs). 17 national associations were represented in the group stage. qarabağ and rb leipzig made their debut appearances in the group stage. qarabağ were the first team from azerbaijan to play in the champions league group stage. for the first time since the 1997–98 edition, england's arsenal did not qualify for the group stage. in the knockout phase, teams play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. the mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows: statistics exclude qualifying rounds and play-off round. the uefa technical study group selected the following 18 players as the squad of the tournament. votes were cast for players of the season by coaches of the 32 teams in the group stage, together with 55 journalists selected by the european sports media (esm) group, representing each of uefa's member associations. the coaches were not allowed to vote for players from their own teams. jury members selected their top three players, with the first receiving five points, the second three and the third one. the shortlist of the top three players were announced on 9 august 2018. the award winners were announced and presented during the 2018–19 uefa champions league group stage draw in monaco on 30 august 2018. sarah viktoria frick (born 28 july 1982 in chur, switzerland) is a swiss theatre and film actress. she has dual nationality with liechtenstein. she left school at 16 to study at the academy of music and theatre in zurich and has gone

prize several times. the 2017–18 uefa europa league was the 47th season of europe's secondary club football tournament organised by uefa, and the 9th season since it was renamed from the uefa cup to the uefa europa league. the final was played at the parc olympique lyonnais in décines-charpieu, france. atlético madrid defeated marseille to win their third europa league title. as winners, atlético madrid earned the right to play against the winners of the 2017–18 uefa champions league, real madrid, in the 2018 uefa super cup. moreover, they would also have been automatically qualified for the 2018–19 uefa champions league group stage, but since they had already qualified through their league performance, the berth reserved was given to the third-placed team of the 2017–18 ligue 1, the fifth-ranked association according to next season's access list. manchester united qualified for the 2017–18 uefa champions league as the title holders of europa league. they were unable to defend their title as they qualified for the champions league knockout phase. a total of 190 teams from all 55 uefa member associations participate in the 2017–18 uefa europa league. the association ranking based on the uefa country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: starting from this season, gibraltar are granted two spots instead of one in the europa league. kosovo, who became a uefa member on 3 may 2016, made their debut in the uefa europa league. for the 2017–18 uefa europa league, the associations are allocated places according to their 2016 uefa country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in european competitions from 2011–12 to 2015–16. apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the europa league, as noted below: in the default access list, manchester united enter the group stage (as the sixth-placed team of the 2016–17 premier league). however, since they qualified for the champions league as the europa league title holders, the spot which they qualified for in the europa league group stage is vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system are made: a europa league place is vacated when a team qualifies for both the champions league and the europa league, or qualifies for the europa league by more than one method. when a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules (regulations articles 3.03 and 3.04): the labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round: notably two teams take part in the competition that are not playing in their national top division, tirana (2nd tier) and vaduz (representing liechtenstein, playing in swiss 2nd tier). the schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at the uefa headquarters in nyon, switzerland, unless stated otherwise). matches in the qualifying, play-off, and knockout rounds may also be played on tuesdays or wednesdays instead of the regular thursdays due to scheduling conflicts. in the qualifying rounds and the play-off round, teams are divided into seeded and unseeded teams based on their 2017 uefa club coefficients, and then drawn into two-legged home-and-away ties. teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. the draw for the group stage was held on 25 august 2017, 13:00 cest, at the grimaldi forum in monaco. the 48 teams were drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. for the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on their 2017 uefa club coefficients. in each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. the group winners and runners-up advanced to the round of 32, where they were joined by the eight third-placed teams of the 2017–18 uefa champions league group stage. the matchdays were 14 september, 28 september, 19 october, 2 november, 23 november, and 7 december 2017. a total of 29 national associations were represented in the group stage. arsenal,

train intelligence officers. in its 20 years of existence, it had trained over 4000 intelligence officers. for the class starting in 2014, the admission was based on an exam and it had 30 places for undergraduate studies (3 years), as well as 35 places for master's degree. in order to become an intelligence officer, a student must complete at least a master's degree. the university's origin can be found in the psychosociology faculty of the alexandru ioan cuza police academy, which was created by a governmental order in 1991. the following year, a separate institution was created for training intelligence officers, the "high institute of intelligence" ("institutul superior de informații)." in 1996, it was reorganized as the "national institute of intelligence" ("institutul național de informații)" and in 2000, it came to have the current form. the fact that many government ministers and magistrates were alumni of this university, was noticed by journalists. sidonia bogdan noted in "românia liberă" that in no other european country so many magistrates were pursuing phd under the guidance of top politicians such as gabriel oprea and that the superior council of magistracy should explain why this is happening. proud canaries is the norwich city fc's lgbt fans & friends group with the vision 'challenging discrimination for better enjoyment of the beautiful game'. proud canaries launched at the norwich city game v tottenham hotspur in february 2014 and is the second officially recognised lgbt supporters' group in the country, the first being gay gooners, the arsenal fc lgbt group. proud canaries is a social forum for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans supporters of norwich city fc and works with the club to make carrow road, the club's ground, a safer and more pleasant place for everyone by promoting the inclusion and challenging discrimination. stephen fry became the honorary president of the group in february 2014. amal fashanu, justin fashanu's niece is patron. di cunningham is the organiser of the group. norwich city fc and chief executive david mcnally have met with group representatives and on three occasions the group has paraded on the pitch at half time. national anti-discrimination organization kick it out (organisation) invited proud canaries to deliver workshops at a pride in football and football v homophobia event in london 2014. the football association invited the group to wembley to watch the england–slovenia game 15 november 2014 and the proud canaries banner was hung alongside those of other lgbt fan groups to demonstrate their commitment to fighting prejudice. chief executive david mcnally is working with the group and indicates the club is fully committed to combating any homophobia at carrow road. they routinely display the stonewall 'some people are gay - get over it' in club colours on the scoreboard and all stewards have been trained to deal with homophobic incidents; in conjunction with the police if necessary. in addition, the club endorse reporting of discriminatory behaviour through the kick it out app. at the end of the 2014/15 season kick it out awarded ncfc their equality standard to recognise their work in promoting equality and tackling discrimination citing their connection with proud canaries as an example of good practice. during the 2014/15 season norwich city cfc received 4 reports of homophobia at carrow road – the outcomes of the investigations was that offenders received final warnings and were informed that any repetition would lead to banning. some campaigners have suggested that the club is not applying a zero tolerance policy by not dealing with offences with summary and permanent exclusion. proud canaries position on the issue is that homophobic abuse in english football has generally been tolerated and ignored and that some supporters need a little time and encouragement to process the change in expectations of other fans and club officers. events from the year 1722 in france david m. gardner (born july 8, 1981) is a current candidate for clark county school board trustee district f seat and is a former republican nevada

in what is today sweden and finland plus some minor parts of russia. the orogenies lasted from about 2000 to 1800 million years ago during the paleoproterozoic era. the resulting orogen is known as the svecofennian orogen or svecofennides. to the west and southwest the svecofennian orogen limits with the generally younger transscandinavian igneous belt. it is assumed that the westernmost fringes of the svecofennian orogen have been reworked by the sveconorwegian orogeny just as the western parts of the transscandinavian igneous belt has. the svecofennian orogeny involved the accretion of numerous island arcs in such manner that the pre-existing craton grew with this new material from what is today northeast to the southwest. the accretion of the island arcs was also related to two other processes that occurred in the same period; the formation of magma that then cooled to form igneous rocks and the metamorphism of rocks. the svecofennian orogeny developed as a succession of four orogenies which by chronological order are: the lapland-savo orogeny, the fennian orogeny, the svecobaltic orogeny and the nordic orogeny. in broad terms, regardless of details, it has been proposed that the svecofennian orogeny involved more-less continuous subduction with subduction zones progressively migrating to the southwest. an alternative model postulates subduction included alternating extension and compression cycles, with the orogenic activity ceasing after the collision between the fennoscandian craton and the sarmatian craton. prior to the onset of orogeny the archean-aged craton of what is today northeastern fennoscandia rifted creating an ocean basin, the "pre-svecofennian ocean", that then closed during the svecofennian orogeny. the closure of this basin was indebted to subduction and resulted thus both in the formation of igneous rocks and the emplacement of the jormua and outokumpu ophiolites about 1950 million years ago. in the later stages of the lapland-savo orogeny an island arc, the knaften arc, accreted to the keitele-karelia-norrbotten collage. the stage to the fennian orogeny was set by a collision between keitele and karelia about 1920–1910 million years ago which resulted in a reorganization of the local plate tectonics. as concequence the bergslagen microcontinents collided with the keitele–karelia collage starting the fennian orogeny. the until then linear fennian orogen was "buckled" from 1870 million years ago onwards due to an orthogonal change in tectonic compressive stress. this resulted in various oroclines around the gulf of bothnia. prior to the svecobaltic orogeny proper there was period of northward-directed subduction at what is now south-central sweden and southern finland. the subduction lasted from 1860 to 1840 million years ago and was accompanied by magmatic activity. two trends in the southern svecofennian orogen variously overlapped in time and space: extension (1870 to 1840 million years ago) and continent-continent collision (1870 to 1790 million years ago). magmatic activity and metamorphism in southern finland ended gradually after 1870 million years ago. the orogen at southern finland with its presumed mountains and thick continental crust collapsed under the influence of gravity and spread out. by 1850 million years ago this collapse had evolved to a dynamic of extensional tectonics. in this extensional milieu short-lived sedimentary basins formed. the svecobaltic orogeny developed when subduction bought the fennoscandian craton into an oblique collision with the sarmatian craton. the mentioned sedimentary basins were destroyed by basin inversion 1830 million years ago. this last event of basin inversion was associated with a period of metamorphism in southern finland that peaked about 1820 million years ago. two models exist regarding the origin of the nordic orogeny: one proposes it as an andean-type orogeny with subduction but no accretion or continental collision and the other poses it might have resulted from the collision of the fennoscandian craton with the amazonia continent. the svecofennian orogen underwent a gravitational collapse from 1790 to 1770 million years ago. the late magmatism following the orogeny overlaps in time with the early magmatism of the transscandinavian igneous belt. this magmatism was largely the result of anatexis forming migmatites and large plutons. another characteristic of the late magmatism is the apparent lack of mafic and intermediate compositions among the magmas, which are nearly all felsic. geologist baltybaev (2013) have identified the following terranes as composing the svecofennian orogen (parenthesis indicate location): "skellefteå terrane" (skellefte river basin), "bothnian terrane" (västernorrland and ostrobothnia), "pyhäsalmi terrane" (northern savonia), "central terrane" (central finland), "western terrane" (gävleborg), "ladoga terrane" (southern finland–russia border) and the "southern terrane" (bergslagen and southern finland). baltybaev further distinguishes between an "outer zone" in the northeast and an "inner zone" in the southwest. the "inner zone" is characterized by i-type calc-alkaline granitoids. in contrast the "outer zone" contains more s-type granitoids. there are differences between the metamorphosed sediments found in the two zones while the outer zone contains metagreywackes the inner zone hosts metapelites. rocks of the outer zone are estimated to have formed 1890–1860 million years ago and granitoids of the inner zone 1840–1790 million years ago. in addition to those two zones baltybaev identifies a narrow "zone of conjugation with archean complexes" between the "outer zone" and the archean craton to the north and east. nironen and mänttäri (2012) uses the terms "central svecofennian terrane" and "southern svecofennian terrane" for approximately the same areas baltybaev calls "outer" and "inner zone" respectively. the

germany, who immigrated to the united states in 1856 and served as a captain in the union army, 32nd indiana volunteer infantry regiment, during the american civil war. metzner co-founded the metzner and hatt tile company around 1880 at hamilton, ohio, and served as its vice president for more than ten years; in 1884 the company was renamed the hamilton tile works. in 1900 he helped reestablish the c. pardee works at perth amboy, new jersey. metzner died in 1918 and is buried at crown hill cemetery in indianapolis, indiana. metzner was born on august 16, 1834, in the village of lorach, baden-württemberg, germany. he attended the university of freiburg in the grand duchy of baden, germany, where he earned a degree as a pharmacist. metzner immigrated to the united states in 1856 and entered into a business partnership as a druggist with henry j. stein in louisville, kentucky. in august 1861 metzner traveled to indianapolis, indiana, where he enlisted for three years of service in the union army during the american civil war. metzner helped organize lieutenant colonel francis "frank" erdelmeyer's turner company, a part of the 32nd indiana volunteer infantry regiment, also known as indiana's 1st german regiment because most of its members were of german descent. metzner was named first lieutenant, company a, 32nd indiana, effective may 19, 1862; he was promoted to captain on february 4, 1863, and transferred to company k. during metzner's term of service from august 1861 until september 1864, his infantry regiment was attached to the first army of the ohio and the army of the cumberland, and served in the western theater. metzner and his regiment left camp morton in indianapolis in september 1861 and was ordered to camp nevin, kentucky, in mid-october. the 32nd indiana's major engagements included the battle of rowlett's station (december 17, 1861), the second day at the battle of shiloh (april 7, 1862), and the battle of stones river (december 30–31, 1862, and january 1–3, 1863). the 32nd indiana also participated in the tullahoma campaign (june 22–july 7, 1863) and the chickamauga campaign (august 16–september 22, 1863), including the battle of chickamauga (september 19–20), where metzner was shot in his right leg. the 32nd indiana also took part in the chattanooga campaign (september 24–november 23, 1864) and joined william t. sherman's atlanta campaign (may 1–september 8, 1864). the regiment's three-year enlisted men mustered out of service at indianapolis on september 7, 1864. metzner, who achieved the rank of captain during the war, maintained a visual record of his experiences with the 32nd indiana through numerous sketches. his illustrations included the daily life of the union soldiers during training, in camp, and in battle. when artists' supplies were unavailable in the field, metzner used materials such as scraps of cardboard instead of canvas. his training as a pharmacist also may have provided him with the knowledge to produce tints for his drawings from natural sources such as berries and bark. after the battle of stones river, metzner was assigned as a topographical engineer with the 2nd division, army of the cumberland, where artists' materials were more readily available for sketching during his idle hours. upon his return to indianapolis in 1864, metzner created at least one oil painting from his wartime sketches. an by oil on canvas scene of artillerymen in battle was metzner's last known work before he pursued other interests. metzner's first wife, louise reutti, suffered from kidney disease and died on january 27, 1877; he married his second wife, emma hess, on august 16, 1880, at indianapolis. at the time of his death in 1918, metzner was survived by his wife, emma, and six of his children. one son, adolph, from his first marriage, died in infancy. after completion of his military service in 1864, metzner returned to civilian life at indianapolis. in 1865 he partnered with frank erdelmeyer, his former union army commander, to open a. metzner and company, a local pharmacy. in 1868 metzner sold his interest in the business to erdelmeyer, and opened another drugstore closer to his home. around the same time, metzner became interested in developing glazes for pottery and tile as a hobby. following his first wife's death in 1877, metzner left the pharmacy business, but continued his work on developing glazes and ceramic artwork. around 1880 metzner learned through his family friends that the royal pottery company in hamilton, ohio, was for sale. with a partner he purchased the company, its stock, and kilns, to found the metzner and hatt tile company, and relocated with his family to hamilton. in partnership with jacob louis bieler, an indianapolis brewer, metzner and his sons, otto and max, continued to perfect a technique to produce high quality enameled artistic tile and ceramic glazes. in 1884 metzner and his new partners, dr. theodore wild of chicago, who served with metzner in the military and bought bieler's business interest, and julius bunsen, renamed their company the hamilton tile works. metzner served as the company's vice president for more than ten years. after the company's reorganization in 1897, metzner left it to work for the american encaustic tiling company in zanesville, ohio. in 1900, metzner and his son, max, helped reestablish the c. pardee works, a decorative tile manufacturer in perth amboy, new jersey. the new jersey firm later acquired the grueby faience company of boston. metzner retired from business in 1912, and moved to bayonne, new jersey; he died at home on february 13, 1918, at the age of 83. metzner's remains were returned to indianapolis, where he was interred at crown hill cemetery. metzner's business ventures contributed to the development of glazes for ceramic tile-relief panels, which were popular decorative items in victorian-era america. his american civil war sketches of the 32nd indiana infantry regiment in camp, on the march, and in battle were published in "blood shed in this war" by the indiana historical society in 2010, and provide a visual, firsthand account of his impressions of the people, places, and major events his regiment experienced during the war. marc caballé naranjo (born 22 june 1991) is a spanish footballer who plays for cf

keytar but did invent the switch pick and has designed three, custom-built seven-string guitars. he developed an approach to playing the guitar by using his pick design, allowing him to switch from fingerpicking to flatpicking. he has released solo albums and has worked with johnny adams, mose allison, dave liebman, ellis marsalis, jr., carl fontana, rick margitza, bobby mcferrin, nicholas payton, dianne reeves, sam rivers, woody shaw, alvin tyler, and bennie wallace. since 1987, he has been a member of the band astral project. he has been voted best guitarist twice and included as a member of astral project in the best contemporary jazz group three times by "gambit" and "offbeat" magazines in their annual readers' poll. he has published lessons in "guitar player" magazine and wrote the book "jazz ear training – learning to hear your way through music" for mel bay publications. he has also been recognized by "down beat" magazine as guitar talent deserving wider recognition. masakowski was born in new orleans, louisiana, on september 2, 1954. the beatles influenced his desire to play guitar. when he was fourteen, he played bass guitar and co-founded the band truth, which was based on the rock band cream. in high school he became interested in composing, and he started taking guitar lessons to learn about harmony. his teacher introduced him to the music of jazz guitarists joe pass, wes montgomery, pat martino, and lenny breau. he went to the berklee college of music in 1974, studying music theory, arranging, and composition. after getting his degree, he returned to new orleans with his girlfriend, jazz guitarist emily remler, and founded the group fourplay (not to be confused with the later jazz group of the same name). from 1976 to 1978, he studied classical composition and orchestration with bert braud, a teacher at the new orleans center for creative arts who also taught terence blanchard, harry connick, jr., branford marsalis, and wynton marsalis. in the early 1980s, masakowski played regularly with local new orleans musicians such as earl turbinton, jr., alvin tyler, and willie tee. with singleton and drummer johnny vidacovich, he accompanied visiting musicians such as randy brecker, tom harrell, art baron, and dave liebman. he founded the group mars with larry sieberth (keyboards), james singleton (bass), and james black (drums). the band played a mixture of jazz and electronic music, sometimes combined with visual art created by jon graubarth. dave liebman played on the first mars album (1983). in 1982, masakowski founded the composers recording studio with harpist patrice fisher, guitarist jimmy robinson, and violinist denise villere. he often acted as audio engineer and sometimes record producer. the studio lasted about ten years and recorded harry connick jr., ellis marsalis jr., tony dagradi, the dirty dozen brass band, and pianist james drew. for three years, masakowski worked in a duet with pianist ellis marsalis, jr. in 1987, he joined astral project. from 1993–1996, he toured with singer dianne reeves. he leads the band nova nola, whose members include his son, double bassist martin, and his daughter, vocalist sasha masakowski. he released two albums for blue note records: "what it was" (1994) and "direct axecess" (1995). new orleans guitarist, banjoist, and historian danny barker wrote the liner notes for "what it was". when barker died in 1994, he bequeathed his acoustic guitar to masakowski. he was hired by marsalis to teach in the jazz program at the university of new orleans. in 1991, he became a full-time faculty member. after the retirement of marsalis and a short tenure by terence blanchard, he became chair of jazz studies and director of the jazz program in 2004. in 1978, masakowski invented the key-tar, a guitar-like instrument with seven rows of keys instead of strings, one key at each fret. this pre-midi controller was hardwired to a moog synthesizer. one advantage of such an instrument was that it allowed playing more than one note in a row of keys at the same time, the equivalent on the guitar of playing multiple simultaneous notes on one string. masakowski's song "stepping stone" was composed on the keytar, which allowed for the cluster-type chord voicings. for the duration of the mars era, his rig included a gretsch seven-string guitar with the keytar fastened to the top. he chose not to pursue a patent for the keytar, opting to concentrate on a revised prototype of the instrument that failed due to lack of funding. in 1987, masakowski invented the switch pick to help when switching from fingers to plectrum. "i invented something i call a switch-pick, which is a sort of thumb pick...[made] in such a way that if i slide it up my finger, the support part doesn't come in contact with my thumb, so it feels like a normal pick. and then if i want to use it as a thumb pick, i just slide it up my finger, and i can play finger style with the thumb pick using all five fingers." he told an interviewer, "the pick is more efficient and has a better sound on fast lines where i need swing drive, but certain ideas, like fast diatonic-fourth runs, are easier to play fingerstyle." inspired by a visit to new orleans by seven-string guitarist bucky pizzarelli, masakowski began to explore the seven-string guitar, first finding an early gretsch, then designing his own models which have the expanded range of a normal guitar and bass guitar combined. his custom designs were built by luthiers jimmy foster and salvador giardina. in 1982, masakowski married german pianist ulrike antonie sprenger. the couple have two children, both professional musicians: vocalist sasha masakowski (b. 1986) and double bassist martin (b. 1990). since 2007, the masakowski family has been playing in bands together, including the group nova nola. in 2017, under the group name masakowski family, they released the album "n.o. escape", a combination of electric jazz, gypsy jazz, and vocal jazz. steve masakowski co-wrote three songs that were based on the novel "a confederacy of dunces". the gates vascular institute and the university at buffalo‘s clinical and translational research center is a 10 story building at 875 ellicott st, buffalo, new york. the institute is next to buffalo general medical center and opened on may 24, 2012. the building was designed by mehrdad yazdani of cannondesign and offers services for stroke care, cardiac surgery, and vascular services. project costs were approximately $290,000,000. the first four floors of this 10-story 476,000 square feet vertical campus, house the gates vascular institute, with the clinical and translational research center occupying the top half of the building. the facility’s structure and its engineering systems are based on the "universal grid," a minimally invasive approach to future modifications built into the building fabric intended to accommodate future changes. by adopting the universal grid approach, different spaces throughout the facility become capable of supporting a variety of functions. the universal grid consists of three 10’-6" building modules that create a 31’-6" x 31’-6" structural grid—in conjunction with an 18’ floor-to-floor height. the universal grid's open plan is easily adaptable to changing equipment and service offerings. this approach facilities the installation of new technologies and conversion of building zones, as future needs determine, to entirely different functions without the modification of core infrastructure systems (mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems). the combined buildings of the gates vascular institute and buffalo general medical center house a new emergency department, a new helipad, 610 beds, 28 operating rooms, 17 interventional labs, four ct scanners and four mris. the gates vascular institute won the 2013 aia healthcare design award recipient from the american institute of architects. the jury stated the building "possesses unique design and planning concepts that demonstrate a great deal of innovation. it is really well integrated, highly thoughtful design. the forms are expressive of the collaboration that is to take place here. it clearly expresses an idea. this project begins to push the boundaries of hospital programming and the isolation of function based spaces. by appropriating some lessons from an activity based workplace the team creates overlapping and shared spaces to challenge conventional hierarchies in health center planning." giovanna galletti (27 june 1916 - 21 april 1992) was an italian actress. she appeared in more than forty films from 1938 to 1986. galletti began her career on stage at a young age, in the early 1930s, and later attended the centro sperimentale di cinematografia in rome. in the late 1930s, she started appearing in films, mostly in supporting roles, and in 1945, she appeared in roberto rossellini's "rome, open city" portraying the treacherous ingrid, which is her best known role. after the war, she focused her activities on theatre, notably working intensively at the piccolo teatro of milan under the direction of giorgio strehler and in the stage companies led by luigi cimara, annibale ninchi, laura adani, and renzo ricci. her later film roles mainly consisted of villains and wicked women. she was also active on radio and television. cara black and lisa raymond were the defending champions, but did not compete this year. eleni daniilidou and nicole pratt won the title, defeating iveta benešová and claudine schaul 6–2, 6–4 in the final. eleanor palmer (died 1558) was an english philanthropist who established a charity to help the poor of chipping barnet and kentish town, now parts of london. her charity still exists and owns and runs almshouses and residential homes for the elderly. she was the daughter of edward cheeseman (died 1510), a lawyer and administrator who became cofferer and keeper of the wardrobe to king henry vii, and his wife joan lawrence (died 1536). her brother was robert cheeseman (1485-1547), a member of parliament for middlesex. her first husband was edward taylor (died 1509) and her second husband was john palmer (died 1542), younger son of richard palmer and his wife margery harthill. he held the manor of rugmere, which is now the district of chalk farm, and she held lands in the manors of tottenhall and cantlowes. she is reported to have had eight children, of which those with john palmer known to have married are: she died on 29 february 1558, and was buried in st john the baptist church, chipping barnet. her memorial plaque in chipping barnet church records that she "dyd geve tow acares of medow ground in kentishe towne holden of ye prebent of cantelous unto yet use of the poore of this town and of kentishtowne for ever". (did give two acres of meadow ground in kentish town held from the prebend of cantlowes for the use of the poor of this town ("that is chipping barnet") and of kentish town for ever.) her charity is today run as two separate funds, the eleanor palmer trust in chipping barnet and east barnet, and the estate charity of eleanor palmer in kentish town. rents from land owned by the charity support its activities and the trust additionally owns and runs almshouses and residential accommodation for the elderly. in 1999, the samuel and rebecca byford charity of chipping barnet was merged into the eleanor palmer trust. eleanor palmer primary school in kentish town is built on land she gave. deandre carter (born april 10, 1993) is an american football wide receiver for the houston texans of the

appeared in more than fifty films from 1968 to 1991. the dover barrage was an underwater blockade of german submarines attempting to use the english channel during world war i. the barrier consisted of minefields laid between belgium and dover at the outbreak of war, followed in february 1915 by steel netting anchored to the sea bed. the first stage of the barrage was completed in april 1915 and it was patrolled by ships of the dover patrol. both sides initially believed the barrier to be effective and the germans attributed some losses to it. however, in march 1916, the germans found their submarines could traverse the channel on the surface at night. the british moved the barrier to cover folkestone-cap gris nez and used new mines and searchlights, effectively closing the channel to hostile submarines in august 1918. underwater scanning of the area covered by the dover barrage shows the wreck of sm ub-109 broken in half. a mine barrage was also used in dover during the 1940 siege of calais. louis francois menage (august 3, 1850 – march 18, 1924) was a real estate speculator and prominent figure in early minneapolis, minnesota history. born in rhode island, he settled in minneapolis in 1874. characterized as a "tycoon" and "robber baron," menage earned a fortune developing land on the city's borders into residential housing and financing the mortgages to enable people to buy his properties. during the 1870s and 1880s, he developed large areas of south minneapolis including much of the area around lake calhoun and lake harriet. he also developed a luxury resort on lake calhoun and built a corporate headquarters which was at the time the city's tallest skyscraper. after a costly legal battle over a real estate deal with william s. king and the financial downturn of the panic of 1893, menage's real estate empire collapsed and he fled the country to avoid prosecution on charges of embezzlement. the charges against menage were eventually dropped after several key witnesses had died or become hesitant to testify against him. he spent the later portion of his life working in real estate in the new york city area and never worked in minnesota again. menage was born in providence, rhode island in 1850. his father, john menage, was the descendant of french immigrants; his mother mary was a descendant of "mayflower" passenger john howland. the family moved to new bedford, massachusetts, when menage was young. while in menage was high school, his father died of tuberculosis, leaving louis and his brother to take over the family's confectionery business. in 1871, a doctor diagnosed menage with "weak lungs" and suggested he move west to avoid falling ill with tuberculosis himself. menage moved to minnesota shortly thereafter. after a brief time teaching classes in shorthand at a minneapolis business school, he found work as a business clerk in northern minnesota at a logging camp near pokegama lake. in 1874, menage returned to minneapolis and entered the real estate business with partner h. c. brackett. menage gradually built an empire by purchasing farmland at the fringes of the city, platting and developing the property into residential neighborhoods, then financing the mortgages for people to purchase the homes. he also worked with thomas lowry, head of the city's streetcar system, to ensure that new lines were built to serve the outlying areas he was developing. much of the present day prospect park neighborhood, and the areas surrounding lake harriet and lake calhoun, were developed by menage and his companies. a small inclusion in the title of every property menage sold was a covenant stating that it would revert to menage or his descendants if alcohol was ever sold there. menage would release this covenant in exchange for a small cash payment.. this so-called "menage forfeiture clause" remained in force on thousands of properties for decades. the cash payments to release it generated a significant side income for menage and his successors. in 1937, the minnesota legislature passed a law nullifying the clause. on september 13, 1876 menage married amanda a. bull, daughter of local businessman and minneapolis pioneer benjamin s. bull. they had one daughter, bessie (1877–1940). in june 1883, he opened the luxurious lyndale hotel near lake calhoun. one of the city's first luxury resorts, the hotel featured multi-room suites and luxurious common areas including a dining room, music hall and two verandas. the hotel's opening was celebrated with a gala attended by many of the city's leaders and elites. a streetcar was specially arranged to take guests back to minneapolis after the night's festivities had ended. menage ran into legal trouble with the purchase of a large plot of land south of minneapolis known as "lyndale farm." owned by william s. king, the land had been placed in trust with new york financier philo remington in 1875 after king had fallen into financial trouble. remington (joined later by a partner, robert innes) advanced king a sum of money in exchange for managing the land and seeing that it was developed or sold for a fair price. when king declared bankruptcy in 1877, remington and innes purchased the lyndale farm land from king for a token sum but promised to honor their previous agreement. remington and innes later met with menage and, in 1882, devised a plan to sell king's land to menage for development without telling king. menage also negotiated a separate deal with innes (likely behind remington's back) where he agreed to pay him one-third of the profits made from the land as a finder's fee and in exchange for innes' help keeping remington and king at bay. menage proceeded to develop the land into housing and profited handsomely. by 1885, king became aware of the scheme and retained lawyer john van voorhis to sue menage. menage claimed ignorance of the first agreement between king, remington and innes and asserted that he had purchased the property outright from the two. after a lengthy trial in minnesota district court, menage lost and was ordered to return the land to king along with all proceeds from the development of the land. menage appealed to the minnesota supreme court in 1886, however the lower court's decision was upheld. the total amount menage paid to king was approximately $2 million ($ million in ). while at the time menage maintained he was not burdened by the judgment, he later recalled the protracted legal battle and subsequent loss "threatened bankruptcy and ruin." in 1889, menage founded the northwestern guaranty loan company to handle the mortgage side of his real estate business. among the members of the company's board were: john s. pillsbury, william d. washburn, thomas lowry, william henry eustis, loren fletcher, and many other important political and business figures. his real estate business was handled by a separate company called the menage realty company. in 1890, menage further cemented his place in the city by building the northwestern guaranty loan building (more commonly known as the metropolitan building), the city's tallest skyscraper, at a cost of more than $1 million ($ million in ). the building was home to all of menage's various companies as well as other offices, a rooftop restaurant, and a private law library. while minneapolis was the center of menage's empire, he also owned land and property elsewhere in the midwest and western states including bozeman, montana, galveston, texas, gary, indiana, and madison, wisconsin. menage contributed to various charitable and philanthropic causes in minneapolis. he donated funds toward the construction of the first minneapolis public library building, provided a temporary home for the ripley memorial hospital, and also sponsored a new bell in the first baptist church which he attended. in 1890, menage sponsored a scientific expedition to the philippines in partnership with the minnesota academy of natural sciences. the expedition, led primarily by dean conant worcester and frank swift bourns, collected thousands of specimens of birds and animals; some, such as the philippine slow loris ("nycticebus menagensis") and the sulu bleeding-heart ("gallicolumba menagei"), were named in honor of menage. while many of the specimens from the expedition appear to have been lost or discarded, some remain in the collections of the bell museum of natural history and the field museum of natural history. in the early 1890s, menage had begun to purchase land near puget sound in washington, accumulating several thousand acres which he planned to develop into an iron mine, smelter and steel mill, along with housing for the workers. to finance the development he sold an early form of mortgage-backed security to investors in new england and europe. when the panic of 1893 occurred, investors found that menage's properties were fraudulent. many of the deeds were held by random names taken from the minneapolis and saint paul telephone books, the properties themselves were unimproved, and the payments to investors were being made out of the bank's funds. his northwestern guaranty loan company (and, by the law of the era, its shareholders) were liable for the losses. menage was indicted on charges of embezzlement but fled to guatemala before a warrant for his arrest was issued. menage's assistant, donald streeter, was tried twice but both trials ended with a hung jury. in an 1895 letter, menage protested his innocence, blaming the lyndale farm lawsuit for hurting his finances and also noting (correctly) that: "the practice of using another's name on a note or mortgage is not unknown in the business world." in 1899, the charges against menage were dropped after several key witnesses had died and others appeared reluctant to testify. by some accounts menage was present in the courtroom at the time; others suggest he never returned to minneapolis. menage spent the rest of his life living in new jersey and working in real estate in the new york city area. he died in 1924. he is buried in lakewood cemetery in minneapolis. oleg nikolayevich fatun (, born 11 november 1959) is a russian former track and field sprinter. he won bronze medals in the 4×100 metres relay at the goodwill games in 1990 and 1994. he also represented russia at the 1993 world championships in athletics and 1994 european athletics championships, as well as having represented the soviet union at the 1990 european athletics championships. along with his teammates, he set the russian records in the 4×100 metres relay, 4×200 metres relay and indoor 4×200 metres relay which are still unbeaten (as of 2015). the 1976 brownlow medal was the 49th year the award was presented to the player adjudged the fairest and best player during the victorian football league (vfl) home and away season. graham moss of the essendon football club won the medal by polling forty-eight votes during the 1976 vfl season. the count was the first of two occasions in which the two field umpires independently voted for the best players on the ground under the 3-2-1 system. this meant that the winner of the brownlow had a higher number of votes than usual. from 1978 onwards, the field umpires conferred after each game and awarded a single set of votes, rather than voting independently. kyle brindza (born january 13, 1993) is a former american football placekicker. he played college football at notre dame. he signed as an undrafted free agent with the detroit lions in 2015 and was traded to the tampa bay buccaneers, where he played for one season. brindza was born with a club right foot, forcing him to undergo surgeries throughout his childhood. despite his birth defect, he was a soccer goalie as a child, for which he wore a plastic brace. at plymouth high school in canton, michigan, he started playing football, along with competing on the track and field team in discus and shot put. brindza began attending notre dame in 2011 and was limited to being their kickoff specialist as a freshman. throughout the season he kicked off 71 times for an average of 65.3 yards and 12 touchbacks while playing in 13 contests. he would return to the same role for the fightin' irish in 2012. on september 8, 2012, notre dame placekicker, nick tausch, would suffer an injury during a game against purdue. brindza would come in to replace tausch but would miss his first career attempt. after missing his first field goal, brindza then redeemed himself connecting on a 30-yard field goal and a 27-yard field goal with 7 seconds left. the 27-yard field goal sealed the 20–17 victory over the purdue boilermakers. after going undrafted in the 2015 nfl draft, brindza signed with the detroit lions on may 9, 2015. brindza was traded to the tampa bay buccaneers for tight end tim wright on august 31, 2015. he was officially named to the bucs' roster after the final roster cut to 53 players. brindza made the team over veterans connor barth and patrick murray. on september 27, 2015, in a week 3 contest against the houston texans, brindza missed 3 field goal attempts and an extra point in a 19–9 loss. however, he made a career long 58-yard field goal in the same game. the next week he would miss 2 field goal attempts and another extra point in a crucial 37–23 loss against the carolina panthers. on october 5, 2015, the buccaneers announced that they had decided to officially release brindza after only making 6/12 field goal attempts and 6/9 pats in his first four career games. on february 5, 2016, brindza signed a futures contract with the new york jets. however, a week after signing with the jets, he tore his right achilles tendon

uwaifiokun and prince ogun, who later took the name "oba ewuare the great" after becoming the oba of benin. she is the pioneer of the first day care centre in benin city, oral history said she assisted oba ewuare in reclaiming the throne as oba of benin after several years in exile. emotan (real name uwaraye), was born in eyaen between 1380 and 1400. after the death of her husband, she constructed a hut where she attended to the needs of children. emotan was instrumental in ewuare's reclaiming the throne as oba of benin after she told him of a murder plot against him made by uwaifiokun and some chiefs during his time in exile. ewuare went on to appoint emotan as the "iyeki" (english: leader of the authorized "ekpate" guild), a position given to someone with the task of

"people be like" started in august 2014 and was originally hosted on the main sourcefed channel. the last video was posted march 24, 2017. in 2015, he launched "people be like" as its own channel and

clinton #56" the podcast abruptly stopped releasing and the hosts later went on to say "she didn't text back" was on an "indefinite hiatus".this was due to, as the hosts would later describe, a breakdown in the friendship between the two hosts on which the podcast relied. however "she didn't text back" returned by surprise on 28 august 2017 for a second season with the original hosts reunited and following a similar format to the first season but more heavily focused on reflection and on their lives. on september 22, 2016, haynes released his debut mixtape, "tunnel vision", on

according to an unofficial count, 31 athletes from 27 countries participated in the event. elisabeth augustin (june 13, 1903 – december 14, 2001) was a german-dutch writer. the daughter of eduard joseph glaser, a roman catholic, and ella cohn, a jew, she was born elisabeth theresia glaser in friedenau, a suburb of berlin, and grew up in leipzig and berlin. by the age of 20, she was writing poetry and short stories that were published in local newspapers. in 1933, she completed her first novel "der ausgestoßene" (the outcast); it was accepted for publication but was not released due to the political environment in germany at the time. later that year, she left for the netherlands. her husband, paul felix augustin, had grown up there and she already spoke dutch. her own dutch translation of her first novel was published as "de uitgestootene" in 1935. she had published three more novels in dutch by 1938. in 1938, her parents left germany to join her in the netherlands. however, after her father died in 1942, her mother was deported to the sobibór extermination camp where she died in the gas chambers. her later writing is strongly influenced by judaism and the holocaust, even though augustin herself did not follow jewish customs or the jewish religion. she published the novel "labyrint" (dutch) in 1955. a german version "auswege" appeared in 1988; it was to be her last novel, although she continued to produce poetry, short stories and radio plays. in 1992, she was awarded the jacobson award for her work. she died in amsterdam in 2001. castledermot round tower is a 10th-century round tower in castledermot, county kildare, ireland. the tower, and the high crosses nearby, are a national monument. the tower is complete, although the original cap has been replaced with battlements. it is composed of rounded granite boulders embedded in mortar. castledermot was founded as a monastic settlement c. 800 ad. the bishop-poet cormac mac cuilennáin was buried here in ad 938 and the round tower was probably built around that time. the community ceased to exist some time after 1073. there are two high crosses: social consumerism occurs when the consumer's needs are met, the business achieves profitability and a social issue is positively affected. this is very different than traditional business models where only the first two objectives are achieved. the value of social consumerism is that it takes the responsibility of the charitable donation away from the consumer and ties the philanthropic action to what consumers do naturally (e.g. eat out and part of the tab goes to a food charity.) as many as 92% of moms and 88% of millennials want to buy from organizations that support a good cause. the coastal topi ("damaliscus lunatus topi") is a highly social antelope of the genus "damaliscus". it is a subspecies of the tsessebe. coastal topi occur in kenya in the lamu, garissa and tana river districts. they were formerly found in southern somalia in riverine grasslands on the lower shebelle and juba rivers and around lake badana; no current information is available on these populations. in 1999, total population was assessed at ~100,000 individuals. akkum (, also spelled akoum, also known as ayn al-safa) is a village in central syria, administratively part of the homs governorate, located southwest of homs and immediately north and south of the border with lebanon. nearby localities include al-hawik, wadi hanna, baluzah and al-aqrabiyah to the east. according to the central bureau of statistics (cbs), akkum had a population of 506 in the 2004 census. its inhabitants are predominantly shia muslims. the women's discus throw event at the 2014 world junior championships in athletics was held in eugene, oregon, usa, at hayward field on 24 and 25 july. 25 july

according to an unofficial count, 31 athletes from 24 countries participated in the event. st. albert the great church is a roman catholic parish located in weymouth, massachusetts. its pastor is father charles j. higgins, vf, and the parochial vicar is father peter j. casey. it rose to recognition in 2004 after parishioners staged a 24-hour vigil at the church in response to announcements by the archdiocese that it would close. the parish shares its priests with nearby st. francis xavier church and masses are shared between the two parishes. st albert the great church was founded in 1950, as a response by the archdiocese of boston to the city's massive population growth. the city's population more than doubled from 1940 to 1960, partially because of a new naval air station that opened in 1941, and partially because of the exodus from cities and into suburbs that began with the proliferation of the automobile. on 29 april 1951, the groundbreaking ceremony was performed. a newspaper article from that time stated that " the spiritual welfare of weymouth is ensured for the future.," and contained a photo of the site. during the period when the building was being constructed, services were held in a bowling alley. in january 1954, father connors, the parish's first pastor, was given permission to perform the dedication ceremony. the parish was dedicated to st. albert the great, also known as albertus magnus, a 13th-century german dominican friar, theologian, bishop and one of 36 official doctors of the church. a month later, the church was given solemn blessing and benediction. in 1953, father eugene p. mcnamara came to st. albert's as his first assignment as parochial vicar. he left a few years later. the parish quickly became established in the community and experienced immense growth, nearly doubling its membership from 465 to 950 from 1951 to 1962. in the late 1960s, the parish began experiencing demographic decline, financial struggles, and political strain. the parish correspondence files in the archdiocesan archives reveal conflicts about the implementation of vatican ii reforms at the parish during 1970 and 1971. one of the parochial reforms urges pastors to increase lay participation in the management of parish finances. parishes now created lay 'parish boards' or 'councils' which were supposed to meet with pastors regularly. after only one year in existence, the st. albert the great parish board wrote a letter to the archdiocesan moderator of councils requesting that he use his influence to encourage the church's pastor to involve himself more in board activities. although the pastor was the council board chairman, the letters, signed by eight lay board members and two priests denoted as spiritual directors, indicate that the priest stopped showing up after the first board meeting, and was avoiding and ignoring all the board members. the letters indicate this is not merely an issue of communication, stating:"the majority of parishioners in st. albert's parish share the knowledge that the parish is in a state of decline. they are discouraged and disillusioned and are confused as to where they should turn now. the only chance for survival for the future of this parish is throughout cooperation with the pastor. we need the guidance and direction of the pastor as recommended by the writings of vatican ii."during the years that followed, a new pastor brought greater openness, but with this new transparency the board and parishioners discovered just how drastic the financial situation was. with budget shortfalls and outstanding debts to the archdiocese, the parish engaged in a number of fundraising drives. by 1976, a parish team was going house-to-house distributing new envelopes and a parish census as part of the pastor's new "increased income appeal." the pastor's written explanation on these forms emphasized the need for donations to keep st. albert's financially stable, saying:"please remember this appeal represents a sound investment in our wonderful parish with its excellent programs and fine facilities that will reflect the love and generosity of all parishioners. it will guarantee a renewed and fiscally-sound st. albert's parish. the parish is counting on you!"these fundraising efforts provided some short-term relief, but within a short while, the parish was in hot water yet again. it became clear to the board that with weekly collections as their only source of revenue, the parish could "scarcely keep even." by the mid-1970s, the parish was relying on social activities and gaming like "beano" in the parish hall to keep its finances afloat. by 1980, parish leadership warned churchgoers not to let the few dedicated "beano" volunteers become overworked, because the profits from hosting the game had "paid for all our major improvements and supported the various programs of the church." the situation at st. albert's had become so drastic that by the late 90s, under the leadership of father lawrence j. borges, 'giving' had been integrated into the parish identity. the title of a 1999 parish bulletin read: "st. albert the great: a stewardship parish." the weekly bulletins during this time regularly featured a "stewardship corner," where exceptional acts of giving or requests for donations were recorded. in 2001, the pastor, father john j. nichols, and the finance committee released a quarterly financial report containing the following message:"father nichols and your parish finance committee want to thank you for your generous response for increased offertory contributions. we are not surprised as you have always responded when we asked. asking for money is always difficult and really should not be necessary. we all have a personal obligation to support the church as would be appropriate given our individual circumstances, as disciples of christ. just as there is a price to pay to live as free americans, there too is a cost to worship where and how we chose [sic]." the desperate and accusatory tone in this report probably related to money the church had recently borrowed from the archdiocese to make parish improvements. in 2002, as the child sex-abuse scandals began to shake the american catholic church, father nichols retired (for reasons unrelated to the abuse scandals) and was replaced by father ronald coyne, a popular but controversial priest, who preached a gospel of love and supported a more democratic church. known for rejecting church dogma on the existence of hell, father coyne brought to the parish a renewed sense of ownership and community. he inspired the parish community by installing new stained-glass windows, and was known to remind mass attendees, "you are gifted and you are the church." an older parishioner from st. albert's once described the new atmosphere at the church to a reporter from the magazine "boston":“we had a priest once who spent money to install new glass doors. he pointed at them during a sermon and said, 'i had those doors installed so i'll know who arrives for mass late and who leaves early.'"the parishioner told him that was when he decided this was no longer the church for him. when the reporter asked what brought him back, he responded, “father ron." according to the magazine "boston", another parishioner, weymouth resident eileen rowan, called father coyne “the most human side of the catholic church one could ever meet.” while his charismatic nature made him popular with parishioners, the financial burdens of the parish were still significant. father coyne acknowledged the sexual abuse cases while still requesting financial support from parishioners in this written message:"this is not an easy time to contribute to the church, but your generosity assures me that you trust the leadership of our parish. your investment financially and spiritually guarantees a healthy future."the main financial stress on the parish at that time was a $150,000 debt to the archdiocese, most of it from a recent loan that was used for church and rectory renovations. with both revived parish morale and increasing numbers of parishioners, the debt was paid off in two years. by 2002, in the midst of scandals, mass attendance around the archdiocese declines from around 17.5% in 2001 to a little less than 15% the following year. the catholic appeal, one of the archdiocese's main fundraising tools, took a harder hit, going from $17 million raised in 2001 to $8 million the year later. the archdiocesan budget deficits that came with this caused bernard cardinal law, boston's archbishop, to consider parish and school closings. on 13 december 2002, cardinal law resigned from office and left boston for rome shortly after, allegedly hours before state troopers with subpoenas arrived to seek jury testimony. on july 1, 2003, seán o'malley was appointed the new archbishop. in late 2003, archbishop o'malley requested that parish leaders meet in their clusters, or regional parish groupings, to discuss whether one or two parishes should close if he decided that region had too many for the local catholic population to support. o'malley cited reasons including urban decline, priest shortages, declining mass attendance, and a decline in archdiocesan revenue as result of the sex-abuse scandals. the process consisted of each parish choosing another parish (or itself) from its cluster to recumbent for closure. some participants and dubious observers have compared the method to the television series "survivor", in which contestants form cliques and use strength to win challenges and vote other members off the island. the process was semi-successful. in some clusters, a consensus was reached about which parish should close. in others, suspicions about hierarchal influences and inflated church attendance statistics arose. when the cluster meetings ended, around 100 parishes for the archbishop to evaluate for closure. the presbyteral council, a group of priests chosen to assist the archbishop with running the archdiocese, came up with an additional 24 parishes that had refused to make a recommendation, and 13 more after reviewing individual circumstances, making a total of roughly 137 parishes up for closure by may 2004. on may 15, 65 closure announcements were sent out, and more followed a few days later. st. albert's received a closure announcement. by august 2004, multiple parishes had begun to protest the announcements, refusing to close. father coyne received a standing ovation after his final mass at the church on september 1. boston globe reporter bella english reported at the time:"kleenex boxes dotted every pew. worshipers lined the outer aisles, stood in the back, crowded into the foyer and spilled onto the front steps."during that last mass, a member of the parish board read a statement expressing gratitude to father coyne, saying:“we will no longer blindly follow the mandates set down by the institution. we now understand that we are the church and we are followers of christ and not the archdiocese of boston.”after mass, a group of parishioners announced a 'perpetual vigil,' and retreated into the basement to begin their occupation. shifts were assigned, but food and water were stored in case safe access to the building was blocked. occupiers entertained themselves with knitting, coffee, and camaraderie. media flocked to the church to report on the occupiers. parishioners filed a civil lawsuit against the archdiocese of boston arguing that the archdiocese did not own the church, but acted as its trustee. daily prayer services and rosaries were held. later, priestless communion services were held, which is officially considered blasphemy within the catholic church. the occupiers were receiving consecrated hosts from sympathetic but anonymous nearby priests. the parishioners protested the closure and argued it was unjustified, citing their secure finances, high mass attendance, dynamic adult and children's groups, and donations to charity. archdiocese of boston spokesman father christopher coyne told the new york times in september 2004 that st. albert the great would not be allowed open, and that it would be more difficult for the archdiocese to allow it now, because it would imply that the way to reverse a closure decision is "to sue the archdiocese and occupy the church," and implied that other factors came into play, such as st. albert's lack of a school. he then stated:"we're downsizing because we just can't continue to maintain the number of churches in the entire archdiocese. we just don't need five churches in weymouth. they are the smallest church. we're doing this all across the archdiocese and they are not alone."as of october 2004, 29 parishes were officially closed. fifty-nine parishes had closed by may 2005. st albert the great and dozens of others remained occupied, engulfed in civil lawsuits, or awaiting appeal decisions from the vatican. by june 2005, 15 appeals had been sent to the vatican by parishes, nine churches were being occupied, and several more were bringing civil lawsuits to the archdiocese. the council of parishes was formed to represent the interests of occupied parishes and those resisting closure, made up of parishioners from 16 parishes on the original closure list. on 13 june 2005, the archdiocese of boston officially revoked the decision to close st. albert the great church. father mark o'connell, assistant for canonical affairs stated:“[archbishop séan o'malley] spent a couple of months trying to bring this out the best way possible. on june 13, he completed that canonical process.”the archbishop announced, "the parish remains open as a full parish." he appointed father laurence j. borges as pastor. father borges was the pastor at st. albert's from 1994 to 1999, and at the time was stationed at st. stephen parish in framingham. he retired in 2009, and left st. albert the great for st. gregory's in dorchester, where he was assigned the parochial vicar. in september 2015, st. albert parishioners gathered in weymouth elks lodge to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their vigil, which lasted 10 months in total and led to eight other parishes holding their own. al-masriyah () is a village in central syria, administratively part of the homs governorate, located southwest of

rubinstein, a russian jew, leaves his village after it is attacked by cossacks. he heads for hamburg, germany, hoping that he can sail to america. while in hamburg, he meets an african american called roscoe haines, who, after seeing his talent for playing ragtime, encourages jacob to go and see a music publisher called abe shulman in new york. when on the ship, jacob meets an italian from sicily named marco santorelli. marco had been the gardener for the english actress maude charteris. she wanted him to move to london with her but he refused as he wanted to go to america to make his fortune. one night during the crossing large numbers of the steerage class passengers dance on the ship's deck and jacob and marco meet and dance with two irish sisters called bridget and georgiana o'donnell. bridget had been on the staff at wexford hall, the irish home of the british landowner jamie barrymore the earl of wexford. bridget, using the pseudonym of mary-ann flaherty, had seduced the earl and assisted the fenians in kidnapping wexford. the same night jacob has a brief conversation with a czech called tom banicek. when the ship arrives at in new york, bridget is frustrated that while first and second class passengers just go straight to immigration, the steerage class passengers are all required to go through ellis island. marco passes through with no problems, jacob is treated for a gunshot wound that he had suffered during the trouble in his village. bridget too is allowed in, but georgiana is refused entry when she is diagnosed with trachoma an eye disease that can lead to blindness. despite bridget's criticism of the ellis island doctor carl travers, the decision is final, but the sisters' uncle casey, a powerful businessman, arranges for georgiana to return to ireland and then come back on another ship by second class as she wouldn't be checked that way. tom banicek, who has a cousin in new york, meets him on ellis island and translates for him when recruiters for the staunton mining company based in virginia try to employ him. despite his cousin telling him that he would be poorly paid, would live in company housing which he would have to vacate if he ever left and that he could be fired for even mentioning joining a union, tom says that he doesn't have a lot of choices for employment and that the conditions would be better than in the austro-hungarian army which was the reason he came to america because he wants to avoid conscription. after two years of living in america, marco has been working as a labourer and decides to borrow money off a loan shark, as he concludes that the only way to make real money is to be your own boss. after, he buys a horse and cart, being a delivery driver in direct competition with casey o'donnell, he crashes and destroys his cart. when he is unable to repay the loan shark, marco is tortured. desperate, marco discovers that maude charteris is in new york performing a play. he goes to see her and she agrees to give him the money to buy a truck, clean clothes, and somewhere decent to live. in return, he is to become her lover, despite there being a large age difference between them. one day out on deliveries, marco meets georgiana, who has now gone blind. they start going on regular dates. georgiana and bridget's aunt however, disapproves and asks casey to sort the issue, which he interprets as him using his influence to get marco deported. after some counterfeit money is planted on his truck, marco is taken to ellis island, to await a ship to take him back to italy. a fellow inmate at the ellis island prison block tells marco that he can help him escape. that night they break out and swim through new york harbor. marco stays in a hotel in new jersey and asks jacob to tell georgiana that he will be gone for a while but he will return to her. when his relationship with georgiana becomes serious, he goes to maude to stop their affair. maude also wants to stop as she is now engaged to senator phipps ogden. hoping that maude could do him a favour, marco travels to long island, in the hope that maude and the senator will help solve his problem. jacob meanwhile, has become a successful broadway writer, after convincing abe shulman to give him a chance. nellie byfield, a rising star on broadway, uses jacob's feelings towards her to marry him, even having a child with him in order to further her career. bridget, met doctor travers one day and apologises to him for the way that she spoke to him on ellis island. she says that her sister is now blind, as he diagnosed. he accepts her apology and after learning that she is a competent with a typewriter, offers her a job as his secretary on ellis island as he is now chief doctor there. georgiana spends her time working at the new york library for the blind. she learns one day that marco become engaged to vanessa ogden, the daughter of senator ogden. marco hated himself for the way he treated georgiana, but he decided that marrying vanessa would be his ticket to high society. senator ogden approved of the engagement as he thought it might "tame" her. when they do get married, marco makes regular trips to new york to see georgiana, even though she senses that someone is watching her, marco never tries to approach her. marco and vanessa's marriage produces a son, frank. however, vanessa refuses to sleep with marco anymore. when marco asks his father-in-law for his approval to run for the state senate, he agrees and thinks an ellis island immigrant would be the perfect candidate to go up against the irish incumbent backed by casey o'donnell. when vanessa makes an exhibition of herself at a party due to an alcohol problem, she is admitted to a hospital in rhode island, where she is befriended by an artist called una marbury. after the death of a miner, tom banicek attempts to organise all of his colleagues against the working conditions at the staunton mining company. the owner monty staunton, refuses to listen and fires tom immediately. tom goes to pennyslvania to talk to union management about getting union representatives in the mines. they explain that it could take a long time but they will eventually. when jacob and nellie's daughter dies, she reveals that she only married him for what he could do for her career. she also refuses to grant him a divorce even though she knows he is seeing another woman, rebecca weiler. when jacob writes a play that a producer wants to make, jacob says that the star of the show needs to be flora mitchum, the african american girlfriend of roscoe haines. the producer reluctantly agrees, and jacob tells him that he can own 100% of the show if he agrees to cast nellie in one of his hollywood productions. when nellie finds out about this, she grants jacob a divorce as she wants to be in hollywood pictures. jacob marries rebecca immediately. when una and vanessa leave the hospital they spend a lot of time together, eventually becoming lovers. when senator ogden arranges to pay una $50,000 to leave his daughter and stop a scandal in his family, vanessa kills una and then commits suicide. marco decides to go and see georgiana after some reluctance she admits she still loves him and they marry. marco is soon elected as the first ellis island immigrant on the new york state senate. meanwhile, bridget has married doctor travers. one day at work she sees denny flynn a former colleague of hers at wexford hall. she fears that denny will tell the authorities who she is and claim the reward money that the british government is offering for information about the murder of earl wexford. georgiana however, tells her that marco can sort it and that he won't be deported or face any charges. feminist review

other in-game perks. initial publicity material for the game was released mid-2014. during microsoft's e3 2015 press conference, ashen was revealed as an xbox console launch exclusive being developed by aurora44 (now a44) under the id@xbox independent developer program. initially released 2014 design elements of the game included survivalist elements and elemental effects, such as the wind as a help or hindrance. the world's geography and ecosystems were intended to be realistically modeled, to play into intelligent play styles within survival mechanisms; additionally, natural geography was intended to be based on an underlying geology. one in-world game element is an enemy known as the "gnaw", which has the ability to erode the environment "like a searing acid". much of the background, setting, and feel of the world was influenced by cormac mccarthy's novel "the road". combat was described as similar to the "souls series", being high risk, with stamina being a major factor in combat. multiplayer elements were described as 'passive', meaning that playing with a partner(s) is not mandated, and entirely optional, though certain situations require cooperative play; ai (computer controlled) allies were also to be implemented. the 'passive' multiplayer element included the conversion of a human player companion into an ai controlled non-player character (npc)s if they could be escorted to the home town of the main adventurer; however such ai controlled npcs were not guaranteed to be entirely benign. art style influences were cited as initially including "", "shadow of the colossus", and "the legend of zelda" series. developers also stated they had been influenced by the emergent multiplayer storytelling found in the video game "dayz". while initially listed on steam, "ashen" was later announced as an epic games store timed exclusive but was also later listed as a microsoft store and an xbox one title. "ashen" was rated 9/10 by "gamespot", and 4/5 by "gamesradar+". "eurogamer" also praised the game, awarding it the "eurogamer recommended" mark. the game was noted through multiple reviews to hold similarities to the "souls" series, specifically "dark souls". the wilson n. jones regional medical center (wnj), formerly texas health presbyterian hospital–wnj, is a hospital in sherman, texas. it has 237 beds, and employs 1000 staff. it was established in 1914. in 2014, alecto healthcare services acquired the hospital from texas health resources. the historic village herberton is an open-air historic museum in herberton, queensland. it was opened in 1977 by then queensland premier joh bjelke petersen and was owned by harry and ellen skenner, who closed it in april 2003 due to escalating public liability costs. it was reopened in 2009 by just jeans retail chain store founder craig kimberly and his wife connie. the village is located on a 16-acre site and comprises over 50 historically restored period buildings dating back to the 1860s, set out like a tin mining town. it is the largest private collection of its type in queensland. a miner’s hut, built for john newell and called elderslie house, was the first building on the site when the village was created in 1973. john newell and william jack were credited as being the founders of herberton. the 100-year-old herberton state school building was added to the village in 1978 followed by the herberton catholic presbytery, which was built in the 1920s. among the displays today are the tin pannikin pub, built by harry skenner as an ode to ettamoggah pub immortalised in ken maynard’s comic strip, and bishop feetham's cottage, a national trust listed building. in 2008, the village was bought by craig and connie kimberley, who had a holiday home in port douglas and spotted the abandoned village while driving through the region. they started restoring and expanding the village in 2009. they opened elderslie house to the public for the first time in 2015. the historic village reopened on april 5, 2009 with 30 buildings and now has more than 50 buildings and over 150,000 exhibits. among the displays are a coach and livery stable, anz bank, presbytery, telephone exchange, blacksmith shop, garage, dress shop, toy store, grocery store, farmer’s supplier’s store, butcher, pub, dentist, doctor, clothing store and jail. the museum also includes memorabilia from herberton’s foundation years including vintage toys, clothing, bottles, medicine tins, cars, fire engines and horse carts. herberton historic village awards include a bronze in the cultural tourism section at the queensland tourism awards in 2015 and 2013 and a gold at the tropical north queensland tourism awards in 2014. simone velasco (born december 2, 1995 in bologna) is an italian cyclist, who currently rides for uci

sherborn, massachusetts, and the ninth child of richard and deborah sanger, a prominent colonial new england family. he was a soldier in the revolutionary war and then began farming, trading, and running a tavern in jaffrey, new hampshire. after a fire destroyed his property, leaving him bankrupt, he started over in the frontier of new york. he became a land agent or speculator, buying large tracts of land and reselling smaller lots. he was involved in various business pursuits, including agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation. he was a town supervisor, county judge, and state assemblyman and senator. sanger's great grandfather, richard sanger i, was born in england and emigrated from southampton to the massachusetts bay colony early in its existence in 1638. he was known to be a blacksmith in sudbury, massachusetts, in 1646 and died in watertown in 1690. his grandfather, richard sanger ii (1666 or 67 - 1731), moved to sherborn, massachusetts, in 1721 with a brother to start a blacksmith business and was considered "an exemplary member of society". his father, richard sanger iii (1706-1786), continued in the blacksmith business and married deborah morse . sanger iii inherited a sizable fortune from his father in 1731, which he enlarged through a lucrative trading business in boston, real estate speculation in maine, and operating a store and tavern in sherborn. the family was one of the most prominent in sherborn's history, and a house he built is listed on the national register of historic places as the richard sanger iii house. after living for a short time in boston, he returned to sherborn in 1748, purchased a large property and continued to trade in merchandise, lumber, and land. jedediah sanger was born in sherborn on february 28, 1751, the ninth child of ten born to his parents. he was educated in the local schools and worked on a farm. he may have learned the saddler's trade and worked in that business in sherborn. his first marriage was to sarah rider in 1771. sanger served in the american revolutionary war, 1775–1781. sanger moved to jaffrey, new hampshire, in cheshire county after his military service. he may have first worked there as a saddler. his government service began in jaffrey with the town government. in 1777, the town council opposed neighboring peterborough slip's annexation of a portion of jaffrey; sanger was appointed to a committee of five chosen to resist the annexation with the state. in 1782, he purchased a farm in jaffrey near gap mountain. he operated the farm, a tavern and a small store at the property. in 1783 and 1785, he was one of the jaffrey selectmen. in 1785 and '86, he was selected at the annual town meetings to be on commissions to petition for a county road to be built through jaffrey connecting rindge to marlborough. in 1785, he was the moderator of the annual town meeting and the town clerk. his good fortune in new hampshire ended when a fire destroyed his property the night of february 27, 1784, leaving him bankrupt. the fire caused the first recorded accidental death in jaffrey, killing arthur clark, who had come from sherborn to work for his former neighbor. the timing of the fire was such that "two heavy loads of groceries" had been delivered the prior day and were unloaded "just in time to be destroyed." in march 1785, he was appointed the lt. colonel of new hampshire militia, 23rd regiment (later the 12th). after his great loss, sanger decided to leave the area and start over in the frontier of central new york . sanger arrived in the area, then known as whitestown (the town of new hartford was not split from whitestown until 1827) in march 1788 at the age of 37, where he would purchase many hundreds of acres of land on both sides of sauquoit creek. he resold a large tract east of the creek, a year after his purchasing it, to joseph higbee, the second "settler" in new hartford. sanger moved his family to new hartford (at the time, an unincorporated village in whitestown) in march 1789 and built a saw mill there. the following year he added a grist mill. he became a major land speculator in the area and was involved in many business ventures. in 1805, he engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods. in the period of around 1810-20, sanger owned a paper mill on sauquoit creek in new hartford, purchasing it around 1810-12 and selling it to samuel lyon before 1820. in the early period of new hartford, sanger's barn was commonly used for civic meetings, such as the organization of the first church. "the most commodious building at that time in the locality was the famous barn of jedediah sanger." according to the earliest recorded history ("annals and recollections of oneida county, jones, 1851"), sanger bought of land for $500 (fifty cents/acre). sanger sold the portion east of sauquoit creek, thought to be , to joseph higbee (or higby), within a year, for $500 (one dollar/acre), a shrewd deal netting him the land where the majority of new hartford's commercial development occurred for no cost. a subsequent survey showed the area higbee purchased was actually . some accounts say the land was purchased from george washington. this narrative is repeated in "the history of oneida county, new york by samuel w. durant, 1878" which used the "jones' annals" of 1851 as a primary reference. the story was expressed in an address at the 1888 new hartford centennial by henry hurlburt, again citing "jones' annals" as his source. it is again repeated in "our county and its people: a descriptive work on oneida county, new york, wager, 1896". however, a note in "transactions of the oneida historical society at utica, new hartford centennial, 1889", which documented the 1888 centennial, questions the validity of the story through research of property deed records. the note cites one deed, recorded with the oneida county clerk, for the sale of four lots in bayard's patent, on the east of the creek, from john g. leake to sanger in november 1790 for £910.4 (approximately $1.16 per acre). another deed shows the sale of one of the four 492-acre lots to higbee in december 1791 for £209 (approximately $1.06 per acre). therefore, the land higbee acquired from sanger cost him slightly less than sanger paid for it. sanger did reserve the rights to the water power of the creek. there is also a july 1790 deed showing the sale of on the west side of the creek for £73.4, or $183 ($1.00 per acre). this land, part of the village, was not conveyed to sanger but to thomas williams, ezekiel williams, asaph atwater, and nathan kelsey. the final parcel that made up the village, also on the west side of the creek, was conveyed to sanger in july 1790 from george washington and george clinton for £118.10 ($296.25 or $1.27 per acre). washington and clinton purchased of land from marinus willett along the mohawk river in 1783 or '84 after touring central new york. this land was part of the original coxe patent (first owned by daniel coxe), and washington referred to it as the lots in coxburgh or coxeborough township. these three parcels, in total, make up most of the original village of new hartford. some land was sold for $1.00 per acre at the same time sanger bought adjacent land, and sanger did purchase land from george washington. but the legend that sanger bought 1,000 acres and then sold half to hibgee for the same price has not been substantiated. on april 7, 1789, the first town meeting of whitestown was held in the barn of the area's namesake, hugh white. sanger was selected to be the town's first supervisor and a commissioner of highways. at the second town meeting one year later, sanger was initially elected to be one of the five town assessors, having lost the election for supervisor 50-34. but due to voting improprieties, the process was restarted the next day and sanger was re-elected town supervisor unanimously with 119 votes. he was elected to a third term in 1791. in 1789 when sanger became the first whitestown town supervisor, whitestown extended north to the st. lawrence river, south to pennsylvania and west to lake erie - a vast area including the entire central new york military tract. in 1791, an act of the new york state legislature that called for the towns of westmoreland, steuben, paris, mexico, and peru to be split out of whitestown also called for the first town meeting of the "new" whitestown to be held at sanger's house. sanger was a justice in the first court held in herkimer county in january 1794, having been named one of three "side judges" when the county was created in 1791. this session was held in sanger's barn. when oneida county was split from herkimer county in 1798, sanger was named "first judge" of the five county judges and was re-appointed several times through 1810, when he was no longer eligible due to his age of 60. the court was formally the oneida county court of common pleas and although judges were appointed by the council of appointment for five-year terms, sanger was reappointed more often (in 1801, 1804, 1805, 1808, and 1810). the first oneida county court session was held in may 1798 at the schoolhouse near fort stanwix (present-day rome), with sanger presiding as first judge. it appears that sanger was one of three judges fined "one pound fourteen shillings" for failing to attend a court session in january 1792. other details of early sessions are unavailable due to records being lost in a fire in the herkimer county clerk's office in 1804. in 1800, jonas platt, the clerk of oneida county, addressed the citizens of the county concerning a dispute over the boundaries of the county and the construction of a county courthouse and jail in rome. the 1798 act establishing the county called for a courthouse and jail to be built near fort stanwix. sanger would have benefited had the county seat been located near his land holdings in new hartford. dominick lynch, who owned the land that became rome, plotted out a village there named lynchville and donated to the county land for the courthouse and jail. sanger responded formally with a printed broadside entitled "an answer to general jonas platt's address to the people of the county of oneida". there is no record that sanger offered to donate any land for county buildings. in 1810, sanger was one of many claimants that sought relief from the legislature to settle a dispute over the title to of land arising after the land was omitted from a 1793 deed transferring the land to philip schuyler from the heirs of william cosby. in 1811, they petitioned the legislature again to restrict the commissioners tasked with settling the dispute, between cosby patent and coxe's or freemason's patent, to just defining the boundary line. concurrent with his duty as county judge, sanger was also a member of the new york state assembly from herkimer county and onondaga county in 1794-95 and served in ten more sessions of the assembly or senate. sanger ran on the federalist party ticket. sanger first ran for the assembly in 1792, losing the election by four votes (502-498). he did receive 91% of the votes from whitestown (of which new hartford was then still a part), but his opponent, michael myers, had most of the other votes from the two other towns in the district (herkimer and german flatts). sanger was elected to the state legislature for ten terms: in 1800, sanger also received votes 53 votes for the us house of representatives district 10 seat, losing to thomas morris, and 28 votes for the us house of representatives district 9 seat, losing to benjamin walker. in 1800, he lost an election held within the new york state assembly to be one of the four senators on the council of appointment, the new york government body that appointed most state, county and municipal officials. in 1803, he again lost in the assembly election for council of appointment. in 1804, he lost the election for a third term as senator to henry huntington when the republicans prevailed over the federalists. sanger was interested in attracting doctors to establish practices in the newly settled areas of the state, and throughout his time in the legislature he introduced numerous bills "proposing state aid to physicians who might establish themselves in the 'west'". in 1788, the state of new york purchased land bordering the unadilla river from the oneida indians. two years later, sanger and two others, michael myers and john j. morgan, contracted to buy the portion of this land known as "township 20" from the state in 1790-91 as an investment for "three shillings and three pence per acre". sanger began to sell or lease lots to settlers and built the first sawmill there on oriskany creek in 1793 in what became the village of waterville. in 1795, the town of sangerfield was created by the state legislature and named to honor sanger, who in turn agreed to donate "to the church of any religious denomination which should build the first house for public worship." he also agreed to donate a "cask of rum" to the first town meeting. he provided the rum and donated to the congregational society as the first religious organization formed in town and 25 acres to the baptists who built the first church. many of the original settlers had disagreed with the town name, wanting it to be called "new lisbon" instead; they later chose lisbon for the name of the congregation. sanger himself farmed land in sangerfield, as did relative william cary sanger much later in the century. sanger, with elijah risley and samuel wells, founded the first newspaper printed in the state west of albany. the "whitestown gazette" was published in new hartford beginning in 1793. after sanger's involvement with the paper, it was moved to utica, and after many mergers it became the "utica observer-dispatch". in march 1794, the new york state legislature passed a law calling for the laying out and improvement of a public road from old fort schuyler (utica) on the mohawk river to the settlement of canawaugus on the genesee river, in as straight a line as the topography of the land would allow. called the "great genesee road", it generally followed the old iroquois trail to oneida. by the end of the decade, many portions of the road were still substandard and some sections had still not been completed. the state outsourced the task of improving and maintaining the genesee road to the seneca road company, chartered by a group of investors led by sanger. the new seneca turnpike was authorized by the state on april 1, 1800, and legislated to run from the village of utica west to the village of cayuga in cayuga county and on to canandaigua in ontario county. the road was, at the time, the longest turnpike in the state. the turnpike was to generally follow the path of the genesee road. through his controlling interest in the company, sanger had the road deviate from the genesee road after crossing the mohawk river in utica to turn southwest through new hartford. this made the village prosper as it benefited from both the commerce brought by the road and the industry supported by the water power of the saquoit. it was not until the completion of the erie canal which followed the mohawk river valley through utica that utica overtook new hartford as the commercial hub of the region. sanger was one of the principal proprietors of the paris furnace company, the first manufacturing operation in the sauquoit valley. the forge and foundry, which went into operation in 1801, made iron products such as axes, hoes, scythes, plows, kettles commonly used at the time for making soap or potash, and hollow ware. products were sold throughout the state and to neighboring states. he hired gardner avery to supervise the construction and operation of the furnace after witnessing avery make a perilous crossing of the hudson river, covered in thin ice, when a banker offered $100 to anyone that could deliver a package to the other side. the site of the company and surrounding settlement, up the sauquoit from new hartford, was known as paris furnace, and renamed clayville in 1848 in honor of henry clay. sanger had the company incorporated in 1823, and it operated until 1832 or 1833, several years after his death. the onondaga salt springs reservation was a tract of land designated by the state legislature in 1797 around a natural salt spring for the commercialization of salt production in salina on the shores of onondaga lake. production began around 1789; salt was made by boiling the brine of the water. in 1798, sanger, asa danforth, and about a half-dozen other investors formed the "federal company", which increased production by building the first permanent building at the site for salt manufacture, building a new and bigger well, and starting a large-scale operation of 32 kettles for producing salt. this company was the largest producer at the time. sanger sold his interest in the company after two years. sanger saw the potential of the area of skaneateles creek at the outlet of skaneateles lake and purchased large amounts of land there. he built a dam there about 1796 or '97 and erected the first grist and sawmills there. he divided some of his land into lots which he then sold as the "village plots on the north end of skaneateles lake", presently in the village of skaneateles. as a controlling investor in the seneca road company, he had the seneca turnpike built though skaneateles, which included the first bridge over the creek, built in 1800. in 1801, he was one of the founding members of the chenango turnpike corporation. an act passed by the state legislature in march 1801 specified that the road should be built from the town of oxford in chenango county and follow as direct a route as possible to an intersection with the seneca turnpike (then called the genesee road) "at or near the house of jedediah sanger". this is the path of present new york state route 12. in 1812, sanger and judge youngs, also of new hartford, purchased of land in chittenango in madison county from the bankrupt owner. they erected a grist-mill, saw-mill, and a cotton/clothing mill on chittenango creek. they sold the mills, the first commercial operation in this village, in 1816. sanger continued farming various crops. at the whitesboro cattle show and fair held in october 1819, sanger's winter wheat was judged third-best behind benjamin northrop of deerfield (second place) and reuben gridley of paris (first place). his oats earned first place, having yielded 84 bushels per acre, for which he was awarded a premium of $15 by the county agricultural society under a program implemented by the state board of agriculture "for the promotion of agriculture and domestic manufactures" under an 1819 state law. in the domestic animals category, he was awarded best boar. in 1812, he was named one of the directors of the bank of utica when it opened on december 8, 1812. sanger bought a tract of land in the onondaga military tract from the private who received it from the government for his revolutionary war service and resold individual lots to settlers. this land currently includes the entire village of weedsport in cayuga county. on november 3, 1791, sanger and others wrote to george washington on behalf of "the settlers of whitestown" requesting a donation of 25 acres "to support a religious minister". they said that they first came in 1787 to the area that was "at that time entirely an unsettled country" and now contained "about three thousand souls" and have "made a regular society" from the wilderness. the petition further stated that the establishment of "ministers of religion" would "encourage sobriety, industry, morality, and religion among the people, and to render them good citizens." washington agreed. in 1791, a congregational church was established in a meeting held in sanger's barn, with sanger named one of the "first class" trustees. in 1792, they agreed to build a church on land donated by sanger. construction was completed in 1797, and the structure, since 1801 the new hartford presbyterian church, is still a prominent structure in the village. sanger was a founding member of the new hartford masonic lodge (named amicable lodge) formed in 1792. he was elected an officer of the grand (state) chapter at its organizational meeting held in january 1799 in albany, where dewitt clinton presided as grand high priest. in 1793, samuel kirkland established hamilton oneida academy in clinton to educate and civilize the iroquois (five nations) indians in the region. sanger made a large donation to the school and was named a trustee. when the school was chartered as hamilton college in 1812, he was again named a trustee. sanger built a new house in 1810, which was three stories, the third used for at least seven years as meeting space for the masonic lodge of freemasons (named amicable lodge no. 23) where he presided as master. in the 1820s, sanger made significant contributions for the construction of st. stephen's church. the church contains a marble plaque inscribed "he, being dead, yet speaketh" in sanger's memory. in 1997, it was listed on the national register of historic places. according to one source, he also donated the land for this church and left funding in his will. sanger died june 6, 1829, in his home in new hartford at age 79. he was originally buried in the new hartford village cemetery, then moved to a family burial plot on his farm, and finally was interred at the forest hill cemetery in utica in a family plot with his second and third wives and several of his children. the original gravestone, almost illegible, was supplemented with a new one in 2007. a masonic lodge was formed in waterville and named the sanger lodge no. 129. there are two new york historic markers that tell about sanger. one marks the founding of new hartford ("jedediah sanger founded new hartford in 1788 by purchasing 1000 acres of land and settling here with his family") and one the 1790 grist mill ("a grist mill was built 350 feet east of here in 1790 by jedediah sanger, first settler and founder of new hartford"). sanger's family bible is in the possession of the oneida county historical society and still symbolically used, such as when the new town supervisor took the oath of office in 2010. sangertown square, a regional shopping mall in new hartford, is named after him, as is the new hartford high school yearbook, the "jedediac". sanger sold land in new hartford to richard wills, an african american who established a farm and built a house there. the house was later owned by wills's nephew, an active abolitionist, and was a stop on the underground railroad. there is a street named sanger avenue in the village of new hartford. sanger was married to sarah rider from may 1771 to her death in september 1814 and to sarah b. kissam from august 1815 to her death in april 1825 (on april 22 of apoplexy. his third wife, fanny dench of washington, d.c., whom he married october 3, 1827, survived him and died in 1842. sanger had four children with his first wife sarah rider. the first was sarah, born in 1772, who died just after her fifth birthday. his second daughter, also named sarah, was born in 1778 and lived to the age of 83. he also had two sons, walter and zedekiah, born in 1781 and 1783, respectively, who both died in 1802. he had nine grandchildren born to daughter sarah and her husband john eames, all of whom were born in his lifetime. sarah eames, the oldest daughter and the only one of his four children that survived him, died in 1861 at age 83 in new hartford. she was still living in the house that sanger built for her and her husband as a wedding gift. it is now known as the eames mansion. a nephew, colonel calvin sanger

"tartu" received a british alpha 128 asdic system in october 1941 that had been taken from another ship. "tartu", named after jean-françois tartu, was ordered on 1 february 1930 from ateliers et chantiers de la loire as part of the 1929 naval program. she was laid down at their saint-nazaire shipyard on 14 september 1930, launched on 7 december 1931, commissioned on 1 october 1932 and entered service on 8 february 1933. she was the only ship of her class to be completed on schedule. when the "vauquelin"s entered service they were assigned to the 5th and the newly formed 6th light divisions ( (dl)) which were later redesignated as scout divisions ().

"le chevalier paul" was scheduled to receive a british alpha 128 asdic system, but was sunk before it could be installed. "le chevalier paul", named after chevalier paul, was ordered on 1 february 1930 from forges et chantiers de la méditerranée as part of the 1929 naval program. she was laid down at their la seyne-sur-mer shipyard on 28 february 1931, launched on 21 march 1932, commissioned on 1 june 1934 and entered service on 24 august 1934. her entry into service was delayed when one of her gearboxes was transferred to the destroyer . when the "vauquelin"s entered service they were assigned to the 5th and the newly formed 6th light divisions ( (dl)) which were later redesignated as scout divisions ().

[and] by the time the album closes with the happily ever after of '2 million', flipo proves that in love and in her music, she's never less than fully committed -- and that's what makes "about us" a promising debut."

the charles h. tweed foundation for orthodontic research. tweed a student of edward angle in pasadena, california and a classmate of raymond begg. he was born in new york (manhattan), new york in 1895. he attended phoenix public schools until he attended stanford university as a pre-dental student and received his d.d.s degree from university of california in 1919. after graduation, he returned to phoenix to practice general dentistry for next 8 years. in the year 1927, tweed decided to join angle school of orthodontia after giving up his private practice. there under edward angle, charles spent few years gaining knowledge of the field. he was chosen by edward angle to assist in preparing the edgewise bracket for introduction and manufacture. he then returned to phoenix to work as a private practice orthodontist and eventually ended up moving to tucson, arizona. it is important to note that tweed's philosophy was different than edward angle, his mentor. edward angle practiced strictly without extraction of teeth to achieve harmonious occlusion. tweed believed that extracting teeth lead to a more harmonious profile than what angle achieved in his practice. in 1940, tweed took 100 patients and treated them without extractions. when their treatment had failed, he then treated them with extractions for no additional fee. he presented his findings at the aao meeting. according to proffit et al., under the leadership of charles tweed, extraction of teeth was reintroduced into orthodontics in the 1940s and 1950s to enhance facial esthetics and occlusal relationships. he published his first article in the "angle orthodontist" journal, titled "reports of cases treated with the edgewise arch mechanism". he published the textbook "clinical orthodontics" in 1966 which summed up over 40 years of his research and work in the field of orthodontics. tweed during his discussions on a particular orthodontic subject was famous for this saying ""just put your plaster on the table"" which meant let the treatment speak for itself. during his early years, tweed found that large number of his cases experienced failures either due to relapse of the corrected dentition or poor facial esthetics. tweed's failures occurred due to expansion of the arches. tweed believed in keeping the mandibular incisors uprighted over the basal bone and thus he would expand the arches buccal. however, due to failures tweed resorted to extracting teeth while keeping the mandibular plane to lower incisor angle at 90 degree +/- 10 degrees. tweed occlusion refers to an end result of an orthodontic treatment that tweed and his followers tried to achieve when finishing treatment. he believed in maximum facial harmony and balance and therefore he believed in treating the mandibular incisors over the basal bone of the mandible. components of tweed occlusion are: tweed is known for creating the tweed analysis. the formation of the club originated in 1941. tweed had a study club which included few orthodontists such as sam lewis, copeland shelden, robert h. w. strang, cecil c. steiner, william b. downs, herbert i. margolis, paul lewis and hayes nance. the group initially met in 1941 and 1942, and due to world war ii resumed their meetings in 1946. during the 1946 meeting, tweed's study group decided to established the charles h. tweed foundation for orthodontic research. the tweed study course is a 10-day course offered by the charles h. tweed international foundation which offers hand-on experience to students and orthodontists alike. during 1950s, admission into the course required applicants to submit a typodont setup and a treated case. francis henry bryant (14 february 1864 – 16 september 1946) was an australian politician. he was

"i had a good father and mother" is a 1929 gospel blues song by washington phillips (18801954, vocals and zither). the song has sometimes been covered as "i had a good mother and father"; or with, in both cases, "real" inserted before "good". unusually, the song does not have a conventional refrain; instead, the verses are separated by a wordless vocalise. the final verse reflects a concept

version until 64 years after his recording of the song. brigadier patrick dehany francis thursby, obe ; 29 december 1922 – july 1994) was a british officer who served in the second world war and

number of syrians in germany is estimated at around 600,000 people in december 2016 and consists mainly of refugees of the syrian civil war. some other sources claim 200,000 estimated syrian citizens to reside within germany as of september 2015. among the german districts bonn and wiesbaden had the highest shares of syrian migrants in 2011 according to german census data. in 2015, fake syrian passports were being used by non-syrians in the hopes of fraudulently gaining legal residency in europe. during the european migrant crisis of 2014-2015 hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees of the syrian civil war entered germany to seek refugee status. the european migrant crisis was especially accelerated when on 4 september 2015, chancellor werner faymann of austria, in conjunction with chancellor angela merkel of germany, announced that migrants would be allowed to cross the border from hungary into austria and onward to germany, and early on 5 september 2015, buses with migrants began crossing the austro-hungarian border. as of 31 december 2014, the federal statistical office of germany estimates that there were 118,196 people with syrian citizenship in germany. according to the german interior ministry, between january 2015 and october 2015, there were 243,721 syrian citizens who entered germany to seek asylum. therefore, there are more than 360,000 syrian citizens (combined 118,196 as of december 2014 and 243,721 as of october 2015) residing in germany as of october 2015. as of 31 december 2016, the total number of syrians in germany reached 637,845. since germany's peak number asylum applicants in 2015 – 890,000 – the trend began to reverse. in 2018, only 185,000 syrians applied for asylum in germany. despite the heavy drop in applications, deportations nearly doubled to 20,000 a year, marking a shifting sentiment among the german people away from the welcoming culture that brought thousands of syrians to germany since 2015. the changing sentiments among german leaders and citizens towards syrian refugees comes in light of an increasingly right-wing parliament. in the 2017 elections, the alternative für deutschland (afd) party gained seats, bringing anti-syrian opinions to a national stage. of the over 740,000 syrians living in germany, just under 1,000 of them voluntarily agreed to return to syria in 2018. due to this extremely low rate of return to syria, there is growing concern amongst syrian refugees that once the volunteers and criminals are deported from the country, the idea of deportations will be normalized. some syrians believe this normalization will lead to a larger wave of deportations that will remove people who can't speak german or don't contribute to the economy. a large part of the resistance to return to syria – despite the subsiding of the war – is bashar al-assad's continued rule of the nation. however, many syrians are committed to fighting the assad regime to restore peace to syria and returning there at a later date, which explains the low rate of voluntary returns to syria in 2018. james burton angelle sr., known as j. burton angelle or burt angelle (july 26, 1924 – august 27,

he also served in the boer war. around 1902 he married mildred conroy, with whom he had five children. he was secretary of the united labourers union from 1921 to 1930 and was also active in the ironworkers union. from 1925 to 1934 he was a labor member of the new south wales legislative council. doyle died in darlinghurst in 1951. neal l. benowitz is an american academic physician and professor of medicine at the university of california, san francisco (ucsf), with expertise on the pharmacology of nicotine and tobacco addiction. benowitz studied physics at rensselaer polytechnic institute from 1962 to 1965. he received his m.d. from the university of rochester in 1969, after which he worked as an intern and resident at bronx municipal hospital center for two years as a resident and intern. he then spent the next year working as a fellow in clinical pharmacology at the university of california, san francisco. benowitz joined the faculty of ucsf in 1973 as a clinical instructor. he was appointed an assistant professor there the following year, and became an associate professor in 1981. since 1987, he has been a professor of medicine, psychiatry and biopharmaceutical sciences at ucsf. since 1983, he has also been the chief of ucsf's clinical pharmacology and experimental therapeutics division. benowitz is known for studying the pharmacology of nicotine, and he has been called "one of the country's preeminent experts on nicotine." in 1988, he served as a senior scientific editor of the surgeon general's report on nicotine addiction. in 2009, he co-wrote a report from the institute of medicine on the cardiovascular effects of passive smoking. in 2010, benowitz was named a member of the tobacco products scientific advisory committee, an advisory panel of the food and drug administration. at the time, some were concerned that he might have a conflict of interest due to the fact that he had served as a consultant to glaxosmithkline and pfizer, who make smoking cessation products, but benowitz dismissed these accusations, saying that he didn't see a "direct conflict of interest" because the panel does not oversee smoking cessation products. in 2011, tobacco companies lorillard and rj reynolds sued the food and drug administration, claiming that benowitz, along with jack henningfield and jonathan samet, had conflicts of interest that disqualified them from being members of the committee. specifically, the tobacco companies claimed that benowitz, henningfield and samet had conflicts of interest because all three of them had received thousands of dollars to testify against tobacco companies and had served as advisors to companies that make smoking cessation products. in july 2014, judge richard j. leon ruled in favor of the companies, finding that benowitz, henningfield and samet all were ineligible to serve on the panel due to their conflicts of interest, and ordering the fda to reorganize the panel. nancy drew... detective is a 1938 american comedy film directed by william clemens and written by kenneth gamet. the film stars bonita granville, john litel, james stephenson, frankie thomas, frank orth and helena phillips evans. the film was released by warner bros. on november 19, 1938. mary eldridge promises a donation to nancy’s school because she went to the same school with nancy’s grandmother. when she goes home she is kidnapped and held captive by a group of men intent on taking her money. nancy, with the help of ted nickerson, solves the kidnapping. ted has to disguise himself as a nurse while nancy becomes a "widow" in order to locate the lady they are rescuing. arthur victor moymow (1884-1944) was an australian rugby league administrator. he was also a co-founder of the st. george dragons district rugby league football club in 1921. arthur moymow was born in sydney in 1884. he studied bookkeeping and accountancy, and became a foundation member and the first treasurer of the st. george dragons rugby league club. he held that position until 1932, before moving to newcastle, new south wales. he was also the president of the st. george junior league and also the president of the st. george referees' association. after relocating to newcastle, he was later the secretary/treasurer of the northern suburbs newcastle rugby league club, and the wickham cricket club and hamilton cricket club in newcastle, new south wales. arthur moymow was awarded life membership of the st. george dragons in 1941. arthur moymow joined the second australian imperial force {aif) in an administrative role with the recruitment staff in 1941 but died suddenly, at his hamilton home, on 18 october 1944, age 60. moymow was buried at the sandgate war cemetery on 20 october 1944. la tempesta di mare ("the storm at sea"), a flute concerto in f major (rv 433; p. 261), is the first of six flute concertos, op. 10 by antonio vivaldi, published in the late 1720s. "la tempesta di mare" may also refer to two earlier versions of the same concerto, rv 98, a concerto da camera (chamber concerto) featuring the flute, from which vivaldi derived the concerto grosso rv 570. "la tempesta di mare" may also refer to the violin concerto with the same name published in the same 1725 edition as the "four seasons": this is however a different composition than the three flute concerto variants. vivaldi helped to bring the concerto to a mainstream form, not only by expanding on ritornello form, but by emphasizing the slow movements of concertos, which were in a two part binary form. solo instruments that vivaldi wrote concertos for include violin, bassoon, cello, oboe, viola d'amore, flute and mandolin. he also wrote ensemble concertos (concerto grosso and/or chamber concerto), where three or more soloists participate, which number over 30 written. vivaldi had an extensive influence on the concerto genre, helping to pioneer the structure, expanding the boundaries of the genre, and showing that any instrument could have a concerto. vivaldi's contemporaries and predecessors such as purcell, bach and handel featured the flute (traverso and/or recorder) significantly in their works. rv 433 was conceived as a concerto for transverse flute in d. the first publication of the concerto, included as no. 1 in vivaldi's op. 10, "vi concerti a flauto traverso", was around 1728 in amsterdam, by michel-charles le cène. the "la tempesta di mare" name for the concerto is given in the score. giving a musical impression of a storm was a popular theme in baroque music. for instance operas like marin marais' "alcyone" contained famous storm scenes. telemann wrote a secular cantata ("the storm"), twv 20:42, after an italian libretto by metastasio. vivaldi wrote several "tempesta di mare" concertos. two variants of rv 433, rv 98 and , are in the chamber concerto and concerto grosso format respectively. rv 98 is scored for flute, oboe, violin, bassoon, and continuo, from which vivaldi created the rv 570 concerto grosso by adding orchestral violins to reinforce the solo oboe and violin, and a viola part doubling the bass at the upper octave. an unrelated "tempesta di mare" concerto, a violin concerto in e major, , is included as no. 5 in vivaldi's op. 8 "il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione". "the four seasons", the first four concertos of that collection, also include a few musical depictions of stormy weather. according to federico maria sardelli the chamber concerto version of "la tempesta di mare", rv 98, was possibly written for ignazio sieber, during the time in which he worked with the composer at the ospedale della pietà from 1713 to 1716. this means that this version of the concerto may have been the earliest flute concerto ever composed, and also the first flute piece to include the problematic high f. sardelli's conclusions, if correct, would overturn "the received scholarly view that, rather than writing for the recorder in the first two or three decades of the eighteenth century, then switching over to the flute, vivaldi already preferred the flute in the 1710s and did not start writing for the recorder until the early 1720s". the movements of the concerto are: rv 433 is not among the five concertos vivaldi composed for the recorder (rv 441–445). being one of the 14 concertos vivaldi wrote for traverso (including one for two traversos), the concerto is nonetheless often performed as a recorder concerto, like many of these other traverso concertos. thus it is for instance included in dan laurin's "recorder concertos" cd. there are dozens of recordings of the concerto, performed on the traverso as well as the recorder, for instance by jean-pierre rampal in the 1960s, by frans brüggen and by barthold kuijken with la petite bande. score editions nicholas pearce, known as nick pearce (born 25 january 1967) is an english former professional snooker player. pearce was born in 1967, and first attracted public attention at the age of sixteen when he appeared on "junior pot black" in 1983, defeated by fourteen-year-old stephen hendry 70-23 in the quarter-finals. pearce turned professional in 1992, and won nine of his first eleven matches; however, the open nature of the tour at that time was such that these were played in his first two tournaments, and he reached only the last 96 at the 1992 grand prix. there, he faced veteran welshman cliff wilson and made his first competitive century break, an effort of 100, but was defeated 4–5. the following several years were barren, but in the 1995/1996 season, pearce reached the last 48 at the 1995 thailand open, and the semi-final - a career-best - at the 1996 international open. in the former, he defeated five opponents including robin hull, tony jones and the young stephen lee, before losing 3–5 to joe swail; in the latter, he beat steven de baets, sean storey, robby foldvari, les dodd, mick price, jason prince, david roe and dave harold, setting up an encounter with rod lawler. pearce led 4–2 and 5–3 in their match, but could not prevent a fightback from lawler and a 5–6 loss to the eventual runner-up. having begun the season as the world number 204, pearce's run to the semi-finals earned him £16,000; the other eight tournaments he had entered had heralded no prize money at all, but by its conclusion he had jumped 109 places to 95th. the next season was more successful, as pearce registered several last-64 finishes, reaching the last 32 at the 1997 british open and the last 16 at the 1996 grand prix. at the grand prix, he notably beat ronnie o'sullivan 5–1 in their last-32 match, but lost his next 0–5 to the canadian alain robidoux; in the british open, he defeated simon morris, jeff cundy, euan henderson and chris small but was again whitewashed, this time losing 0–5 to mark williams. he finished the season at a career-high ranking of 57th. pearce's form dipped sharply thereafter, and he did not progress beyond the last 48 at a ranking event again. having finished the 2002/2003 season ranked 113th, he was relegated from the tour, losing his professional status at the age of 36. pearce attempted to re-qualify during the following season, but entered only the first challenge tour event, losing 0–4 to matthew selt in the first round. he entered qualifying for the 2013 world seniors championship, but lost his first round match 1–2 to darren thompson. catapyrgus sororius is a critically endangered species of fresh water snail endemic to new zealand. this snail has only been found in one location, a stream in the ida cave in the oparara river valley in the kahurangi national park. this area is a protected forest reserve managed by the department of conservation. although the population trend of this species is regarded as being stable the main threats to this snail are pollution events in the stream it inhabits and caving activities. in november 2018 the department of conservation classified "catapyrgus sororius" as nationally critical under the new zealand threat classification system. the species was judged as meeting the criteria for nationally critical threat status as a result of it occupying only in one location, the total area of which is less than 1 hectare. it is considered as being data poor under that system. hydrogen peroxide contact solutions are storage solutions for contact lenses that rely on hydrogen peroxide to clean the contacts and break up proteins and deposits during the disinfection process. the majority of hydrogen peroxide solutions are 3% hydrogen peroxide. this enables the solution to break down any proteins that coat the contacts after a long period of use. hydrogen peroxide is always used alongside a neutralizing product. the intention is to prevent the hydrogen peroxide from contact with the eye, which could damage the corneal cells in the epithelium. while this would not result in permanent damage, it can cause an intense burn that can linger even after an eye rinse. burned cells heal very quickly once the natural tear film is restored. in order to prevent this damage, the solution must be stabilized before the contacts are placed into the individual's eyes. to stabilize the solution, the contacts are placed into a special container with a platinum coated disk. in solution, it gets rid of the hydrogen peroxide and produces small bubbles that help to clean the contacts. after a couple of hours, the hydrogen peroxide is stabilized and what is left is a saline solution. at this point, it is safe to use the contacts. after extended use, the platinum coated disk must be replaced. both hydrogen peroxide and multipurpose solutions remove debris and build-up. significant differences exist between the two. hydrogen peroxide has the ability to penetrate microbial films, which helps create a deeper clean. hydrogen peroxide solutions do not contain preservatives. this can be beneficial for people who are allergic or sensitive to the preservatives in multipurpose solutions. hydrogen peroxide solutions have a greater ability to fight acanthamoeba keratitis, an infection that can cause blindness. some researchers have found the peroxide cleaning regimen to encourage better contact lens care practices among peroxide users compared to multipurpose solution users. multipurpose solutions tend to be less expensive. contacts do not have to be placed in multipurpose solutions for extended intervals, whereas contacts must be left in a hydrogen peroxide solution for hours. the main attraction of multipurpose solutions is that the same solution can clean, rinse, disinfect and store lenses. hydrogen peroxide solutions require a separate solution in order to rinse the contacts. procedural mistakes put eyes at risk from contacting the hydrogen peroxide. most hydrogen peroxide solutions cost around ten to twenty dollars. three main name brands are available along with several generic products. the original brands were softmate, mirasept, lensept, oxysept i/ii, in a wink, and aosept. clear care the current evolution of the old aosept system is said to count for more than 80 percent of the hydrogen peroxide systems sold in the us. clear care contains a poloxamine derivative surfactant that helps loosen debris and deposits via a bubbling action and has a platinum disk that neutralizes the solution and is good for up to 100 uses. prior to clear care, the market only provided a two step system where you first soaked the lenses in peroxide for a short period of time or overnight then replaced it with a neutralizing saline. these systems used a catalyse enzyme in saline form and was preserved. the aosept system made by american optical was the peroxide solution uses a disk to neutralize the solution. the lensept system was also similar and used two different cups, one contained the disc and the other was for soaking! oxysept and omnicare was slightly different from the other two brands in that it uses tablets for the neutralization effect, which causes a slower process. the result of the tablets is a longer exposure to more concentrated hydrogen peroxide. following recommendations to add an enzymatic cleaner weekly, increases costs. josip posavec (born 10 march 1996) is a croatian football goalkeeper who currently plays for hajduk split. on 31 august 2015, the serie a club palermo announced that they had finalised the signing of posavec, and that he will join the italian club at the end of the football season 2015/2016. however on 26 january 2016, palermo announced that posavec would join the club already in january, to replace simone colombi who left for carpi. on 7 july 2018, posavec returned to the croatian first football league, signing for hnk hajduk split on a one-year loan deal. posavec made his debut for hajduk on 26 july 2017 in a 1-0 victory over pfc slavia sofia in the second round of 2018-19 uefa europa league qualifying phase, earning plaudits for his performance. posavec made 33 appearances for hajduk in all competitions. on 8 june 2019, hajduk announced that they had signed posavec from palermo on a permanent, four-year deal. ithobaal ii (also itto-baal, ethobaal or ethbaal, from "tuba'il") was an eighth-century phoenician king of tyre. nothing is known of his reign except that he paid tribute to the assyrian king tiglath-pileser iii in 738. he was succeeded that year or the next by hiram ii, who continued the tribute to the assyrians. the first-century historian josephus provides the best surviving tyrian king list. there is a gap in the sequence between about 773 and the reign of ithobaal. it is possible therefore that ithobaal's reign extended back several decades before he is recorded in an assyrian tribute list for 738. edward lipiński suggests his reign began as early as "c".760. hayim tadmor suggests that the assyrian inscription recording ithobaal's tribute should have the date amended to 740. rose's luxury is a restaurant on barracks row in washington, d.c., created by chef-owner aaron silverman. it is known for not taking reservations which creates long lines, such that a nearby bar's top cocktail is called 'waiting for rose's' and linewaiters are reported to make up to thirty dollars an hour waiting in line. president barack obama celebrated his 54th birthday at rose's, after first lady michelle obama previously ate at the restaurant. the opening of rose's luxury in 2013 was the subject of a documentary, "new chefs on the block." chef aaron silverman had prior experience at momofuku and opened a fine dining restaurant next door to rose's luxury named pineapple & pearls in 2016. silverman has been the subject of a profile in the "washington post", which characterized his work as mastery of 'the art of serious play'. __notoc__ the new law school building of the university of sydney is designed by sydney-based architectural firm francis-jones morehen thorp (fjmt). the building is located at the university's camperdown campus in sydney, new south wales, australia and was officially opened on 30 april 2009. it serves as the new building for the sydney law school. as the first university established in sydney, the university of sydney was thoughtfully sited on a distinct rise overlooking the sydney city, metaphorically placing learning and the investigation above the city. however this vision was seemingly lost in the pragmatics of post-war development. when the university decided to relocate the law school, the eastern avenue site opposite the anderson stuart building (the old medical school) was chosen. as a result, two existing buildings, the edgeworth david building and stephen roberts building, were demolished. the new law school site sits on the edge of victoria park and is close to the university’s major historic buildings. the university held an international invited design competition in 2003 for the new law school. all contestants' presentations were public in order to reinforce open learning and research approach. invited competitors included axel schultes architekten in association with stanisic associates; bligh voller nield; donovan hill/ghd/wilson architects; 3xnielsen; foster and partners/hassell and fjmt. after winning the design competition in 2003, fjmt was commissioned to take charge of the new law school's design. the architect aimed to use the project as an opportunity to "redefine and reinterpret the architectural dialectic between city and campus". the design focuses on extending the public domain in order to create a new opening between the university and the community. in particular, the study of law is balanced carefully at this new threshold. a public area with lawns, terraced landscapes and plazas is created at the level of eastern avenue, which is the major artery of the campus. fjmt believes that the public area is an "important contributor to the creation of campus life", therefore enhancing it becomes one of the major design priorities of the new law school. as a result, movement is expanded out and about the site, as fjmt recognises the social experience of knowledge exchange to be gained through informal interaction of active social participation outside the classroom. the geometries of a rectangle, a circle and a triangle constitute the tectonic genesis for the new law school’s design, where each form accommodates a set of functions. split superstructures are suspended above that coalesce to frame new open spaces, and also serve as a new open entrance to the university. the suspended splintered fragments re-establish the topographical positioning of the university on a rise above the city. fjmt’s design divided the project into podium and superstructures. layers of glass and timber louvres that are suspended on sleek stainless steel rods are used in defining the edge and opening of the splintered forms. a curvilinear "light-tower" made from stainless steel creates a sculptural form that figures against the silent backdrop of the existing fisher library. it draws attention to the presence to the new law library. according to principal johnathan redman, the light-tower resembles "19th-century circular reading rooms with a lantern above". there is also a glass bridge that connects splintered forms of the new law school, and serves as a social hub for students and the wider university community. the sense of transparency and openness introduced invites the public to participate in communication and discussion. the new law school employs a double skin curtain wall, cavity facade system with operable louvers. this system creates a stack effect and regulates the interior thermally. the louvres change according to the position of the sun or preferences of the building's inhabitants. the harsh daylight is therefore softened when it is filtered into the interior space. this system also allows variation in light and shade, blocking harsh glare and heat while preserving and directing views. in addition, natural air circulation is concerned through the interior, tempering the environment as it is needed. on the other hand, the double skin glass serves as an acoustic barrier to noises from the busy city road, so that inhabitants can engage in quiet activities without disturbance. to ensure daylight reaches the levels below ground, the podium is punctuated with triple-laminated glass. in addition, the 20-meter-tall light tower, which is directly above the law library's main reading room, reflects natural daylight through skylights and clerestories, and also draws out stale air. the building’s main 300-seat auditorium is used to hold major public lectures and seminars. its "in-the-round" configuration, where the lecturer is surrounded by audiences who sit no more than five rows from them, creates an intimate environment which encourages active participation. this configuration is also carried out in the four 100-seat lecture theatres. sixteen seminar rooms and other meeting facilities are also designed as teaching spaces that accommodate smaller groups. their flexible flat-floor design enable multiple configurations to accommodate different learning methodologies, from traditional lectures to group discussions. dispute resolution facilities including a moot court, mediation break-out rooms and judges’ chambers are also provided for students to simulate court proceedings, therefore allowing them to take part in practical experience of the arts of advocacy, persuasion and problem solving. additionally, there are office spaces and facilities that are dedicated to the student representative body as well as doctrine and masters research students. the project has received various awards from national institutions, such as the australian institute of building and australian institute of architects. this is

"note": there are many important academic magazines that are not true peer-reviewed journals. they are not listed here. nedstrand is a former municipality in rogaland county, norway. the municipality was located along the nedstrandfjorden, an inner branch off the main boknafjorden. the municipality encompassed the majority of the nedstrand peninsula. originally (from 1838-1868) it also included the sjernarøyane islands and the western part of the island of ombo in the fjord to the south. the administrative centre of the municipality was the village of nedstrand. nedstrand church is located in hindaråvåg, a small village just west of nedstrand village. today, the area is part of the large municipality of tysvær. the parish of "nærstrand" was established as a municipality on 1 january 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). originally, it encompassed the two "sokn" (districts) of "hinderaa" and "sjærnerø", located on the northern (mainland) part of the municipality and the southern (islands) in the nedstrandfjorden, respectively. on 1 january 1868, the municipality was divided into two separate municipalities, named after the two "sokn" that made up nærstrand: hinderaa (population: 1,680) and sjærnerø (population: 922). on 10 august 1881 the name of hinderaa municipality was changed by royal resolution to "nerstrand". later, between 1910 and 1920 the spelling was changed slightly to "nedstrand" to better match the local pronunciation. on 1 january 1965, the municipality of nedstrand (population: 1,200) was merged with the neighboring municipality of tysvær and parts of the municipalities of avaldsnes, skjold, vats, and vikedal. the new municipality was named "tysvær". the international standard link identifier (isli), is an identifier standard. isli is a universal identifier for links between entities in the field of information and documentation. it was developed by the international organization for standardization (iso) and published on may 15, 2015. iso/tc 46/sc 9 is responsible for the development of the isli standard. isli is used for identifying links between entities in the field of information and documentation. a linked entity can be physical, e.g. a print book or an electronic resource (text, audio, and video); or something abstract, e.g. a physical position within a frame of reference or the time of day. in the context of modern information technology, the application of resources in the field of information and documentation is increasingly getting diversified. isolated content products can no longer satisfy the ever-increasing user demand. using a link identifier to build links between resources in the field of information and documentation provides a basis for a combined application of resources in the field, and supports collaborative creation of content and data interoperability between systems. the openness of the isli system will boost the emergence of new applications in both multimedia and other fields, which increases the value of the linked-resources. the link model of isli includes three elements: a source, a target, and the link between them. a link identified by an isli code is unidirectional from the source to the target. an isli code consists of three parts: service code, link code and check digit. the service code comprises six decimal digits. the link code comprises decimal digits and its length is defined for each service. the check digit contains one decimal digit calculated from the service code and the link code. it is used for error detection. an isli code shall be shown in the format " isli xxxxxx-xxxxx-x". the hyphen is used for separating the three fields (service code, link code and check digit) and the word "isli" must be prefixed. the isli system is administered by the isli registration authority(isli ra). and the international information content industry association (icia), a not-for-profit organization headquartered in hong kong, acts as the isli registration authority. icia is responsible for the maintenance of the isli system and other responsibilities specified in the isli standard. the isli standard provides a way of linking entities without changing the properties of those entities, e.g. ownership, access rights and identifiers that are used to identify those entities. to obtain a service code, the following procedures shall be followed: decide the type of the specific link application. search the list of link types in the isli ra website to find the desired link type. draw up the operational plan. submit application for a service code, and specify the data access rights when registering metadata. build the service provider application and provide services to users. turtle bay is an album by flautist herbie mann recorded in 1971 and 1973 and released on the atlantic label. the allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "herbie mann goes back to the well of soul on this lp and comes up with another tastefully funky selection of rock/r&b hits mixed with a few originals of his own. ... herbie's own flute work is often low-key, maybe even a bit lazy, but he is audibly sympathetic with the material". all compositions by herbie mann except where noted. thirty one is the second studio album by american actress and country music singer jana kramer. it was released on october 9, 2015. it became available for preorder on august 27, 2015 on itunes, the same day the track list was revealed. on the album's title, kramer explained, "i want this title to be strong; i want this title to be me. i want this title to somehow portray the woman that i am. there's no other way of saying that than 'thirty one.'" giving it a "b", bob paxman of "nash country weekly" thought that "the songs here are mostly good, but it's hard to discern a real identity from the album as a whole." he thought that the first two singles, plus "boomerang" and "said no one ever", were the strongest cuts. the album debuted at no. 3 on top country albums, and no. 10 on the billboard 200, with 18,000 copies sold in the us in the first week. it sold a further 5,000 copies in its second week. the album has sold 79,000 copies in the us as of october 2016. jan dost (born 1965) is a syrian kurdish poet, writer and translator. he has written several novels in kurdish and arabic and is one of the prolific kurdish writers. he was born on 12th march 1965 in kobanî, syria. jan dost is a recipient of the galawej award (a prize in kurdish literature). jan dost has also translated several kurdish and persian works into the arabic language, including mem and zin, one of the most famous kurdish works, written by ahmad khani. fontebranda is one of the medieval fountains of siena, located in terzo di camollia, in the contrada of oca, near the porta of fontebranda. the fountain was built in the 13th century by the guild of the wool-makers (lana). the first mention of a fountain was in 1081, and documents speak of enlargement by bellamino in 1193, and finally rebuilt in its present form in 1246. the fountain is cited by dante alighieri in the divine comedy (inferno - canto trentesimo|inferno xxx, vv. 76-78). the fountain front has three gothic arches and a crenellated roof. the roof spans a tank fed by water traveling for kilometers to reach the city. the structure was so large, due to multiple use: to get drinking water for men and, separately, for animals, and to wash clothes, espeacially the textiles made by arte della lana (guild of wool-makers). knockdrin () is a townland in county westmeath, ireland. it is located about north–north–east of mullingar. knockdrin spans the civil parishes of taghmon and tyfarnham. it is one of the 11 townlands in taghmon and one of the 11 townlands in tyfarnham, both in the barony of corkaree in the province of leinster. the townland covers approximately in taghmon and in tyfarnham, a total of . the neighbouring townlands are: garraree, knockatee and toberaquill to the north, brittas to the east, knockdrin demesne to the south and kilmaglish to the north–west. in the 1911 census of ireland there were 8 houses and 39 inhabitants in the townland. andrew lambdin moore (26 march 1957, old greenwich, ct) is an american photographer and filmmaker known for large format color photographs of detroit, cuba, russia, the american high plains, and new york’s times square theaters. moore’s photographs employ the formal vocabularies of architectural and landscape photography and the narrative approaches of documentary photography and journalism to detail remnants of societies in transition. his photographic essays have been published in monographs, anthologies, and magazines including "the new york times magazine", "time", "the new yorker", "national geographic", "harper’s magazine", "the new york review of books", "fortune", "wired", and "art in america". moore’s video work has been featured on pbs and mtv; his feature-length documentary about the artist ray johnson, “how to draw a bunny,” won the special jury prize at the 2002 sundance film festival. moore teaches in the mfa photography, video and related media program at the school of visual arts in new york. andrew lambdin moore, born march 26, 1957, grew up in old greenwich, connecticut. his father sydney hart moore, was a commercial architect, and his mother patricia lambdin moore, was an editor at the new york graphic society, a fine art publisher. moore’s parents supported his early interest in photography; his father built him an attic darkroom and his mother introduced him to the works of peter beard, whose book, "eyelids of the morning", a study of nile crocodiles on lake rudolf, was being published by nygs. beard learned of moore’s interest in photography and signed two prints to him from this series. moore is related to the victorian era artists george cochran lambdin, known for his paintings of flowers, and alfred a. hart, an official photographer for the central pacific railroad, who documented the construction of the western half of the first transcontinental railroad. in 1975, moore enrolled at princeton university, where he worked on an independent major in photography under the guidance and mentorship of the historian peter bunnell and the photographer emmet gowin, who at the time, was completing his first monograph. during that time, moore also had the benefit of working with visiting artists including frederick sommer, jim dow, and joel meyerowitz. moore graduated summa cum laude in 1979. after a brief stint working with commercial photographers in new york city, moore moved to new orleans, where he continued a body of work first started for his senior thesis. over the next two years, he focused on the city’s disappearing commercial district, where he found subjects such as a coffin workshop, a broom factory, and a raw furrier–places employing artisans and out-dated machinery. the new orleans downtown development district awarded moore a grant which enabled him to produce a portfolio of one-hundred 8x10 color contact prints, which were placed in the city’s archives. in 1981, moore returned to new york city, where he began a three-year project documenting the rapid changes to the urban landscape, specifically at the south street seaport and fulton fish market in lower manhattan. at the start of his project, demolition for the present marketplace and shopping pier was just getting under way. moore returned many times over the following months, often photographing at night to portray the architecture and ambiance of the surrounding neighborhood amidst massive, rapid transformation. for this work, moore and two other photographers, barbara mensch and jeff perkell, were awarded grants from the jm kaplan foundation, and the new york state council on the arts, which enabled the completed project, “south street survey” to be shown at the municipal art society in 1985. during this time, moore was also working on a series of photographs of grain elevators in buffalo, new york with the assistance of a nysca individual grant. in buffalo, moore met a group of artists working with appropriated imagery, which inspired him to begin using mechanical and chemical processes to incorporate multiple negatives, paintings, drawings, and xeroxes into complex montage images outside of strict documentary practice. this method of recombination, in the era before photoshop, created images of “convulsive beauty” and were the subject of moore’s first solo exhibition in new york at lieberman and saul gallery in 1986, following his first solo show at real art ways in hartford, ct in 1985. moore continued this method of montaging imagery for the next 7 years, expanding his practice into experimental short films. during this time, moore collaborated on short films with others including the artists lee breuer and david byrne. his film “nosferatu” 1989 was nationally broadcast on mtv and pbs’s new television series. in 1995, moore returned to his roots in documentary practice as the texture of new york’s 42nd street was rapidly changing. with all of the theaters between 7th and 8th avenues scheduled to be razed or refurbished, moore sought permission to photograph the torn seats and faded fire curtains which told the stories of those spaces. in 1997, moore showed these photographs at yancey richardson gallery in new york. despite his change of style, the work was well received; in a review for "the new yorker", andrew long noted, “the straight forward treatment is a departure for the photographer, who characteristically produces multi-image evocations of new york city. nothing is lost however— his earlier poetic constructs now give way to broader arenas for the imagination to roam.” moore first traveled to cuba in 1998 to photograph havana’s decaying theaters. the project soon expanded in scope to document the larger effects of cuba’s permanent revolution, which were particularly apparent during the economic depression known as the “período especial.” moore’s large-scale color photographs of havana reveal an elegant but crumbling metropolis of muted pastel interiors, courtyards, and scenes of daily life. moore returned to photograph cuba’s architecture and environment over the next 14 years, in the process publishing two monographs "inside havana" (chronicle books, 2002) and "cuba" (damiani, 2012). moore has said his work intends to show, “how contemporary history, and specifically cultures in transition, are expressed through architecture.” the photographer julius shulman wrote of inside havana, “exhibited throughout moore’s work is a genuine flavor of ‘presence’. he does not attempt to gloss over questionable conditions, nor does he try to contort reality. with tremendous sensitivity, moore creates art statements of the architecture he shows us. his images are painterly and poetic.” moore’s photographs from cuba appeared as a cover story in the september 23, 2012 issue of "the new york times magazine". while working in cuba, moore became interested in the island nation’s long relationship with russia. this led him to photograph the architectural environments where russian history and politics collide in unexpected ways. between 2000 and 2004 moore made 8 trips around russia from st. petersburg to the remotest parts of the country. "the new yorker" wrote of the work, “in taking russia–its contradictions and gorgeous ruins–at face value, he captures a country’s diversity and history.” for example, moore photographed a “czarist church [that] was turned into a soap factory during the soviet period, and now has been restored into a kind of youth center.” moore remarked, “for me these kinds of subjects present a cross section through time: they address russia’s complex past, as well as the larger compacting and collapsing processes of contemporary history.” in 2004, moore published the monograph "russia beyond utopia" (chronicle books, 2004). from 1995-2001, moore produced and photographed the film “how to draw a bunny: a ray johnson portrait,” a collage-style feature-length documentary about the detroit-born pop and performance artist ray johnson. moore worked with the director and editor john walter to delve into the mysterious life and death of johnson, an artist whose “world was made up of amazing coincidences, serendipities and karmic gags,” according to michael kimmelman of "the new york times". after johnson’s suicide, moore and walter conducted interviews with artists including christo, chuck close, roy lichtenstein, judith malina, and james rosenquist. in addition, they gathered photographs, works of art, and home movies, which were edited into a fast-paced narrative exploring the artist’s life. the filmmakers “couldn’t have chosen a more elusive subject for a movie; their success in evoking johnson, and in documenting his world, is a triumph of sympathy over psychology, memory over historicism,” wrote stuart klawans for "the nation". the film premiered at the 2002 sundance film festival, where it won the special jury prize. the film also won the grand prix du public 2002 at the rencontres internationales de cinema in paris and was nominated for a 2003 independent spirit award and listed in "new york magazine"’s “top ten of 2004.” in 2008 and 2009, moore traveled to detroit to portray in photographs “the idea that in an urban setting you could also have a landscape happening, the forces of nature intersecting with american urbanism, the process of decline also intersecting with the revival of nature.” in 2010, moore released detroit disassembled (damiani, 2010), with an introduction by detroit-native and poet laureate philip levine, to coincide with an exhibition at the akron art museum. he was originally invited to document the city by two young french photographers, yves marchand and romain meffre, who had been photographing detroit’s abandoned spaces since 2005. while moore’s detroit series follows the themes of transformation and decaying space explored in previous bodies of work, his focus on the motor city generated controversy in the pages of "the new republic" and the journal "guernica". the photographs were decried as “ruin porn,” which mike rubin defined in "the new york times" as “urban decay as empty cliché, smacking of voyeurism and exploitation.” curator sarah kennel writes in "the memory of time", an exhibition catalog from the national gallery of art, that, “in moore’s photographs, ruination serves more explicitly as an allegory of modernity’s failure.” other critics argue that whether or not moore’s detroit photographs fit the category of “ruin porn” is a matter of academic debate. joseph stanhope cialdella argues in the journal "environmental history" that moore’s work instead conveys the “aesthetic of a postindustrial sublime” which “gives nature the authority to transform the image of detroit into a novel, yet disturbing landscape that blurs the lines between wilderness and the city.” dora apel writes in "beautiful terrible ruins" that moore’s “pictures of detroit tend to emphasize the relationship of nature and culture, with nature in the ascendancy.” apel ultimately argues that the “ruin porn” images and debate fail to focus on the political and economic policies that are the root causes of the ruins. from 2005 to 2014, moore photographed the people and landscape of “great american desert,” which roughly includes the area west of the 100th meridian to the rocky mountains, from texas north to canada. the area is one of the most sparsely populated regions in the country, “where the daily reality is often defined by drought and hardship.” to make many of the photographs, moore collaborated with doug dean, the pilot of a single-engine aircraft, to create bird’s-eye perspectives revealing the vastness of the land. rather than flying high above the plains, moore chose perspectives that have “the sense of being within the landscape rather than above it.” for an essay accompanying moore’s photographs in "the new york times magazine", inara verzemnieks wrote, “from above, the land is like one endless, unpunctuated idea — sand, tumbleweed, turkey, bunch stem, buffalo, meadow, cow, rick of hay, creek, sunflower, sand — and only rarely did a house or a windmill or a barn suddenly appear to suspend the sense of limitlessness.” on the ground, moore photographed the people who inhabit this unforgiving landscape and the evidence of their efforts, from active homesteads to abandoned schoolhouses. these photographs are published in moore’s newest monograph: "dirt meridian" (damiani, 2015). since 2004, moore has taught a graduate seminar in the mfa photography, video, and related media program at the school of visual arts in new york city. he lectured on photography at princeton university from 2001 to 2010. moore lives in new york city with his wife, two daughters, and son. bryan pirouet (born 12 july 1949) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). after leaving essendon, he played with prahran in the victorian football association (vfa), winning a premiership with them in 1973. pirouet played for several country sides after his time in the vfa, captain-coaching horsham imperials, playing for wonthaggi and captain-coaching dalyston. gary grainger (born 24 september 1949) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). his father, george, also played vfl football, for st kilda. after leaving essendon, grainger played for and captained preston in the victorian football association (vfa), was captain-coach of tasmanian side east devonport, captain-coached epping back in victoria, and was captain-coach of lalor in the diamond valley football league. the triumphal arch of the lorraine located in piazza della libertà in florence, italy, is an 18th-century, monumental triumphal arch, bypassed by the viali di circonvallazione that skirt florence through the space once girded by its 16th-century walls. the piazza stands at the northernmost end of via cavour, florence, region of tuscany, italy. the arch was begun after 1737 to welcome the january 1739 arrival of the habsburg-lorraine dynasty; it was past this arch that the same dynasty was to leave for exile in 1859. the arch has emanated a foreign aura since its erection in 1737-1739 by the newly-arrived french architect, jean nicolas jadot, to welcome the arrival (or visit) of the new ruler francis stephen, former duke of lorraine. some sources add the efforts of francesco schamant of lorraine to the design. the statuary was not added until 1744. however, many ephemeral decorations including tapestries were used along via san gallo to welcome the ruler in january 1739. this new duke's stay in florence was short lived as he quickly moved to vienna to become emperor. the next duke, francis' second son, viennese-born leopold, would not be named duke until 1765, when he moved to florence with his spanish-born wife. the arch rises in a park formed by piazza della liberta; the arch is just centripetal to the now detached porta san gallo, once the main northern gate of the city. the park is located in an island surrounded by a series of homogenous porticoed palaces, designed by giuseppe poggi in the 19th century, who also landscaped the park. the arch has three openings, a larger central one with two smaller lateral ones. the arch is bedecked with ten columns with corinthian capitals. most of the sculptures and reliefs were requisitioned locally. it has bas-reliefs celebrating the imperial role in italy, along with depictions of flags and weapons. the southern facade has two double-headed eagles, the symbol of the habsburg dynasty. atop the arch is an equestrian statue, putatively of francis stephen himself, apparently marching out of the city. atop the apparently safe perch of the plinth, cringe nearly a half-dozen allegorical mythologic statues, as if they were the last austrian contingent in tuscany, besieged by the swirling italian traffic around the park. it is said that crowds in 1859 belittled the fleeing duke leopold ii as the second "baby leopold", the prior one entering florence under regency. john carpenter (born 29 august 1948) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). he later played with mcleod-rosanna, bayswater and oakleigh districts. pachycondyla eocenica is an extinct species of ant in the formicid subfamily ponerinae described from fossils found in europe. "p. eocenica" is one of six lutetian "pachycondyla" species. when described, "pachycondyla eocenica" was known from two fossil insects which are compression-impression fossils preserved in layers of soft sedimentary rock. along with other well-preserved insect fossils, the "p. eocenica" specimens were collected from layers of the lutetian messel pit world heritage site. the formation is composed of brown coals, oil shales, and bituminous shale, which preserved numerous insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and terrestrial mammals as a notable lagerstätten. the area is a preserved maar lake which initially formed approximately 47 million years ago as the result of volcanic explosions. at the time of description, the holotype specimen, number smf mei 10999, was preserved in the senckenberg research station messel fossil collections. the fossils were described by gennady dlussky and sonja wedmann in a 2012 paper on the poneromorph ants of messel. the specific epithet "eocenica" is derived from the eocene age of the fossil. the species is one of six "pachycondyla" species which have been described from messel formation fossils. all six of the species were described by dlussky and wedmann in the same 2012 paper, the other five being "p. lutzi", "p.? messeliana", "p. parvula", "p. petiolosa", and "p. petrosa". another eight fossil species have been described from fossils in north america, europe, and asia. the "pachycondyla eocenica" holotype specimen is a partially preserved adult queen, which was fossilized as a lateral impression, missing portions of the legs and wings. the paratype is a very partial dorsal impression, preserving only the head, either of a gyne or a worker. the overall length of the queen is approximately and the head has an estimated length of . the antennae are slender in appearance, composed of a scape which extends nearly to the edge of the rear margin of the head. the eyes are rounded in outline and placed to the front of the midpoint on the head. the shape of the petiole scale is rounded on the top edge, as is that of both "p. messeliana" and "p. succinea", but it is larger than "p. succinea" and smaller than "p. messeliana". the six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord bwv 1014–1019 by johann sebastian bach are works in trio sonata form, with the two upper parts in the harpsichord and violin over a bass line supplied by the harpsichord and an optional viola da gamba. unlike baroque sonatas for solo instrument and continuo, where the realisation of the figured bass was left to the discretion of the performer, the keyboard part in the sonatas was almost entirely specified by bach. they were probably mostly composed during bach's final years in cöthen between 1720 and 1723, before he moved to leipzig. the extant sources for the collection span the whole of bach's period in leipzig, during which time he continued to make changes to the score. bach's sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord were composed in trio sonata form, i.e. three independent parts consisting of two equally matched upper voices above a bass line. instead of playing the role of a continuo instrument, filling in the harmonies of a figured bass, the harpsichord took one of the upper melodic lines on equal terms with the violin, whilst also providing the bass line (which could be reinforced if desired by the addition of a viola da gamba). in the totality of bach's musical output, the instrumental sonatas written in trio sonata form are small in number. apart from the bwv 1014–1019, there are the six organ sonatas, bwv 525–530, the three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord, bwv 1027–1029, and the three sonatas for flute and harpsichord, bwv 1030, bwv 1031 and bwv 1032. in each case the trio sonata texture derives from the compositional form and not the particular combination of instruments, which was partly a function of the musicians at bach's disposal. this is well illustrated by the first movement of the organ sonata bwv 528 which originated as the sinfonia starting the second part of the cantata, bwv 76, with oboe d'amore and viola da gamba as solo instruments; and likewise by the trio sonata for two flutes and continuo bwv 1039 and its alternative version for viola da gamba and obbligato harpsichord, bwv 1027. although it had been believed for some time—and advanced as a theory by —that the sonatas bwv 1014–1019 must have originated in lost trio sonatas for two instruments and continuo, no prior versions have been discovered and it is accepted that only a few movements could have such an origin. the first known source from 1725, in the handwriting of bach's nephew johann heinrich bach, explicitly specifies an obbligato harpsichord; and, despite the fact that a later version in the hand of bach's pupil johann friedrich agricola has a marginal "violin i" at the start of bwv 1014, the scoring of the upper part in the keyboard, especially in the "adagio" movements bwv 1016/i, bwv 1017/iii and bwv 1018/iii, uses figures that are idiomatic to a keyboard instrument but unsuited to other instruments. although this compositional style became widespread in the late eighteenth century, in bach's day it was unusual and innovative. although all the sonatas are written in trio sonata form, each has its own distinct character—the third is an example of the "sonate auf concertenart", a sonata written in the style of a concerto. throughout his life bach returned to the sonatas to refine and perfect the score, particularly in the last sonata, which survives in three different versions. when wolfgang schmieder created the chronology for the bwv catalogue of bach's works in the 1950s, the assumption was that bach's musical output matched his responsibilities in each of the three distinct phases in his career: the period 1700–1717 when he was organist at lüneburg, arnstadt, mühlhausen and weimar; the period 1717–1723 when he was capellmeister at cöthen; and the period from 1723 onwards when he served as thomaskantor in leipzig. accordingly, the chamber music works by bach were automatically assigned to the cöthen period. later generations of bach scholars have recognized that bach's involvement with chamber and orchestral music continued in leipzig, especially through the collegium musicum; and accordingly schmieder's rigid chronology is no longer generally accepted. nevertheless, even though there is no direct confirmation for the dating of bwv 1014–1019, bach scholars agree that the circumstances surrounding the 1725 source probably point to the first versions of these sonatas being composed between 1720 and 1723 during bach's last years in cöthen. in the 1958 neue bach-ausgabe edition, the editor rudolf gerber was unaware that the 1725 manuscript had been largely copied by bach's nephew, who was only a pupil at the thomasschule at the time. in addition two of the three last movements in the sixth sonata copied by bach himself were borrowed from the sixth keyboard partita bwv 830, movements also included in the 1725 notenbüchlein for bach's wife anna magdalena bach. this suggests that the initial collection of sonatas, assembled for an unknown purpose, was probably copied from pre-existing compositions and hastily completed. this hypothesis is not only compatible with bach's heavy compositional duties as thomaskantor at the start of his period in leipzig; but also agrees with the dating of the sonatas to cöthen by bach's biographer johann nikolaus forkel: a letter to him in 1774 from bach's son carl philip emmanuel describes the sonatas as being 50 years old. the history of the sixth sonata bwv 1019 is distinct from that of the five others. the three different versions of the sonata and its successive comprehensive modifications in leipzig indicate that its role in the collection evolved only gradually. the two first movements, a large scale concerto allegro and a short largo, remained largely unaltered throughout these revisions and were copied by bach's nephew johann heinrich into the earliest surviving manuscript from 1725. the originals, assumed to date from cöthen, are lost; but it is probable that these were the first two movements of a three-movement "sonate auf concertenart." in the 1725 manuscript the remaining movements were entered by bach himself. the sonata took the following form: the solo movements provide a contrast with the other movements, which are duos for violin and obbligato harpsichord; moreover as dance movements they add variety and lightness to the set, making it more like a dance suite. the harpsichord solo was later published in bach's clavier-übung i as the corrente in bwv 830, the sixth of the keyboard partitas; before that it had already been entered into anna magdalena's notebook. the violin solo, with the harpsichord providing a simple figured bass accompaniment, was an early version of the tempo di gavotta from the same partita. only the harpsichord part survives, but the violin solo for the fifth movement has been reconstructed without difficulty from the score of bwv 830; the missing violin part for the short adagio has been recovered from the second version of the sonata. after the publication of clavier-übung i, probably in the late 1720s, bach revised the sixth sonata by excising the two published movements from bwv 830. he replaced the harpsichord solo by a lengthy cantabile for violin and obbligato harpsichord: the third movement is considered to be an arrangement of an aria from a lost secular cantata, probably dating from bach's period in cöthen. there is no longer any indication that the opening vivace should be repeated in performance; the lack of a fast finale returning to the original key has been taken as an indication of the unfinished or intermediate status of this version. the sonata attained its final form some time between 1729 and 1741 and survives in a copy made by bach's pupil johann friedrich agricola. now with five movements and matching more closely the earlier five sonatas, it retained the first two movements (with some minor modifications, including "vivace" changed to "allegro") but had three newly composed movements after that: a dance-like harpsichord solo in e minor in binary form; an adagio in b minor, modulating to d major; and a gigue-like final allegro in g major. the first musical description of the sonatas for obbligato harpsichord and violin bwv 1014–1019 appeared in . in the 1960s hans eppstein made a systematic analysis of all the sonatas for obbligato keyboard and melody instrument, including the six organ sonatas, bwv 525–530. he determined common features in their compositional forms; part of his aim was to investigate their possible origins as transcriptions of lost compositions for chamber ensemble. because of the complex history of bwv 1019, with its five movements and two previous versions, eppstein gives his analysis for the first five sonatas bwv 1014–1018, viewing the movements of the sixth sonata as hybrid forms. the movements of the three versions of bwv 1019 will be discussed separately in its own section below. the five sonatas bwv 1014–1018 are all in four movements in the conventions of the sonata da chiesa, with a slow first movement, followed by a fast movement, then another slow movement before the final allegro, often having a joyful or witty dance-like character. pointed out a uniform structure in the fast movements. they are all fugal in form but can be divided into two distinct and readily identifiable types: in general the first fast movements of the sonatas are written as tutti fugues and the closing movements as concerto allegros. there are two exceptions: in the fifth sonata bwv 1018 in f minor, the first fast movement is a concerto allegro and the closing allegro is a tutti fugue; and in the third sonata bwv 1016 in e major both allegros are tutti fugues. both fast movements are usually linked by the musical form of their subjects. although the binary form of the concerto allegro is usually described as "dance-like", unlike other movements of this form discussed in detail by , no specific dance forms have been associated to individual movements. the slow movements by contrast are united only by their diversity. the violin and keyboard play different roles and there are often more than two voices in the upper parts, which can divide in the keyboard part or have double stopping in the violin. bach explored all possibilities in the slow movements: they can resemble movements from every variety of baroque musical genre, including concertos, chamber works, dance suites, cantatas or accompanied arias; and the textures in the keyboard and the violin were often new departures, quite distinct from previously known compositions. unlike the fast movements, there is no longer an equality between the two upper parts and the bass, which plays a continuo role. sometimes the bass has its own theme, as in bwv 1014/1, where it produces a partial ostinato effect; in bwv 1014/3, bwv 1016/3 and bwv 1017/3, the bass line is a genuine ostinato. the upper keyboard part can have an independent structure from the other voices: that happens in the broken chord semiquavers or triplets that give bach's predetermined realisation of a figured bass in the slow movements of bwv 1017; and also in bwv 1016/1 where it is divided into three voices. in the accompanying keyboard ritornello of the first movement of the f minor sonata bwv 1018, the two parts in the upper keyboard and the bass line share the same material which is echoed imitatively between them; in the third movement of the same sonata, the filigree demisemiquaver scale figures in the right hand are responded to by demisemiquaver arpeggios in the left hand. in a few exceptional movements the upper keyboard part is directly related to the violin part: in bwv 1015/3, the two upper parts play in strict canon over broken semiquaver chords in the bass; in bwv 1016/3 in trio sonata form, the two upper parts share the same material, with invertible counterpoint and imitation; in bwv 1014/3, the right hand part adds an imitative subordinate voice to the melody line in the violin, often accompanying in thirds. in bwv 1014/1 and bwv 1016/1, there are instances when the violin and upper keyboard respond to each other, with one borrowing the thematic material of the other. in these last two movements the violin and the upper keyboard are equally matched partners. in the majority of slow movements, however, the role of the upper keyboard part is subordinate to that of the violin and—although composed with independent material—serves the function of providing an obbligato accompaniment. the opening largo of bwv 1017 in time is a siciliano, a binary dance-form widely used in the early eighteenth century. in the minor key it was associated with a mood of melancholy or even pathos. the elegiac melodic line and ornamentation are entirely suited to the violin. as numerous commentators have pointed out, with its affecting anapaests, the compositional style and impassioned tone resemble those of the obbligato violin solo in the celebrated alto aria "erbarme dich" from bach's st. matthew passion. the harpsichord supplies a continuo-like accompaniment. there are arpeggiated semiquaver figures in the harpsichord right hand, while the quavers in the left hand—with their french "tenue" slurs gradually descending in steps—provide a rhythmic pulse gently driving the movement forward, almost like an ostinato bass. the second movement of bwv 1017 in common time is a "concerto allegro" according to eppstein's classification. 109 bars long, has described it as "a mammoth compendium of musical ideas all somehow integrated into one of the most intensive fugal movements bach ever wrote." the movement is built on a ritornello which contains both a fugue subject and a countersubject. new material is also introduced in a brief two bar interlude a third of the way through the movement. the ritornello, or parts of it, recurs ten times in the movement, which it also concludes. the fugue subject is heard in c minor and g minor, and their relative major keys, e major and b major; further complexity is added by reprises starting in the middle of a bar. musical material from the ritornello and interlude is developed extensively in the many intervening episodes. in the opening ritornello of bars (see above) the fugue subject is first heard in the harpsichord, then the violin and finally in the bass line, when it is accompanied for two bars by the first statement of the countersubject—a rising sequence of repeated notes and trills—in the harpsichord. this is followed by the first episode of bars in which motifs from the ritornello are developed between the upper parts in imitative responses and in parallel: rhythmic figures from the fugue subject are played in counterpoint to semiquaver passagework; and elsewhere the upper parts respond to each with trills. the ritornello then returns for seven bars with the fugue subject in the harpsichord. after the cadence, a pivotal two bar interlude introduces new motifs in all the parts: in the upper parts a tightly phrased semiquaver figure ornamented with a demisemiquaver dactyl is heard in the harpsichord, then in a response in the violin and finally in the harpsichord where it leads into a cadence. this is accompanied in the bass line by new rising figures made up of chromatic fourths. as comments, although this new material is quite different from that of the ritornello, bach subsequently relates it to the ritornello: in the two bar reprise of the fugue subject of the ritornello at the cadence, chromatic fourths are included first in the descending left hand of the harpsichord; and in the next bar they are then heard as a rising quaver motif in the right hand, forming a new countersubject. this four bar passage is immediately repeated with the upper parts exchanged. for the remainder of the movement, bach ingeniously permutes all the musical material at his disposal, with thematic passages from the ritornello interspersed with more elaborately developed variants of previous episodes. between two bridging episodes, the ritornello theme returns in the violin but now starting in the middle of a bar. the fugue theme is heard again in the bass line accompanied by the countersubject in the violin; the fugue subject then passes to the violin starting mid-bar; and finally it is heard in the upper keyboard of the harpsichord. after a further extended concertino-like episode revisiting the trilling exchanges from the beginning of the movement, the ritornello theme returns mid-bar in the left hand of the harpsichord, accompanied by the countersubject in the right hand. with the upper parts exchanged, there is a repeat of the dactylic interlude along with its eight bar sequel. it is linked by a brief quasi-stretto section to a three bar cadenza-like passage over a pedal point, leading directly into the concluding eight bar ritornello, its opening marked by the rising chromatic fourth figure in the bass line. in the adagio in triple time, the violin plays the cantabile melodic line in dotted rhythms in its lower and middle registers as if an alto solo. at first declamatory in the "forte" passages, the "piano" responses are expressive but subdued. bach's knowledge of the expressive qualities of the violin is shown in the opening phrases, written so they can be played on the g string, the lowest string on the violin, regarded as having a "noble" tone. as explains, citing the opening of bwv 1017/3 as an example, the g string's "energy and powerful voice make it a whole instrument in itself and the lower this voice is, the more opportunity it gives to expression to attain the sublime." around the violin melody, in the same registers, the right hand keyboard part weaves a dreamy accompaniment of broken chords in triplets. below them the bass part punctuates the melody with a fragmented continuo-like accompaniment in quavers and crotchets. as comments, the complex and contrasting juxtaposition of rhythms, if played as annotated, has a magical effect. in the course of the movement there are six "forte" phrases of increasing complexity and length in the violin part each followed by a proportionate "piano" response. in the concluding four bar coda, the violin and harpsichord play semiquaver figures imitatively as the tonality modulates to g major, leading into the final allegro. describes the mood of the movement as "verinnerlichte und vergeistigte"—inward-looking and spiritual. the final allegro of bwv 1017 is a spirited dance-like "tutti fugue" in binary form. like the last movements of bwv 1014 and the first organ sonata bwv 525, it follows the same plan as the fugal gigues in bach's keyboard partitas, bwv 825–830; namely in the second part of the binary movement, the fugue subject is inverted. following , the structure of the first part can be described as follows. the fugue subject is first played by the harpsichord in the first four bars. in the next four bars it is taken up by the violin while the harpsichord plays the countersubject. before the bass plays the theme, there are two linked interludes. the main one is four bars long with the violin playing material based on the fugue subject, while the harpsichord plays characteristic two bar motifs which eppstein describes as "fountain-like". these are made up of semiquaver triad motifs leaping upwards before descending in the semiquaver figures of the countersubject. the second interlude of three bars has both parts playing these semiquaver figures in parallel. the material from both episodes is then ingeniously developed. eventually a four bar passage of semiquaver scales in the harpsichord part leads to a cadence and then a reprise of the second interlude, before a fourth and final statement of the subject and countersubject. the first part then concludes with an emphatic rendition of the two interludes in the violin and harpsichord. the second part of bwv 1017/4 starts as follows: although parallel to the first part, the second part is not a straightforward inversion (it is ten bars longer with 64 bars instead of 54). only the fugue subject and countersubject are inverted. both are also transformed in other ways: the first by adding intermediate notes and removing some repeated notes which change its rhythmic character to a more continuous melodic line; and diminution is introduced in the countersubject, now playfully scored in syncopated groups of three semiquavers instead of four (see the 5th bar above). the second part starts with the (modified) fugue subject in the violin; followed by the subject in the harpsichord and the countersubject in the violin. as in the first part, there is a reprise of both interludes followed by a statement of the fugue subject/countersubject in the bass line/harpsichord, but now truncated from four bars to three. this is followed by an episode developing the material of the interlude, followed by the truncated fugue subject/countersubject in the harpsichord/violin. there is then a reprise of the episode with cascading semiquaver scales which leads this time into a fifth statement of the truncated fugue subject/countersubject in the violin/harpsichord. it is followed by the second interlude and a sixth and last statement of the truncated fugue subject/countersubject in the bass line/violin. this is immediately juxtaposed with the return of the original (uninverted 4 bar) fugue subject and countersubject in the harpsichord and violin, leading into a concluding restatement of the rhythmic eight bar interlude. the third and final version of the sixth sonata which has five movements: allegro, largo, allegro (harpsichord solo), adagio and allegro. the opening movement is a concerto allegro in g major and common time. this already sets the sonata apart from the previous sonatas, which like the sonatas da chiesa of corelli start with slow movements: bwv 1019, like the instrumental concertos of bach, begins with a fast movement. symmetrical in structure and written in strict da capo form, its opening 21 bar ritornello is scored as a tutti section for all three parts. the toccata-like semiquaver theme descending in the violin is matched by a rising quaver countersubject in the upper keyboard, with a rhythmic quasi-continuo in the bass line. the upper voices are written in invertible counterpoint in the ritornello, with the musical material alternating every two or four bars. the semiquavers continue unabated like a moto perpetuo throughout the ritornello, passing from one voice to another. after the first eight bars, when the main theme is heard twice, there is an eight-bar interlude when the violin and upper keyboard play in counterpoint, alternating between semiquaver motifs derived from the main theme and a syncopated countersubject. for the remainder of the ritornello the semiquavers pass to the bass, with an arpeggiated version of the motifs for two bars which leads into a short coda and a cadence marking the beginning of the middle section of the movement. the arpeggios in the left hand of the harpischord are accompanied by an adaptation of the syncopated countersubject in the right hand and fragmented quaver responses in the violin. the middle portion of the movement lasts 48 bars and is also symmetrical in structure, made up of two fugal sections and a central episode in which the non-thematic material in the ritornello is heard again. the new fugue subject is five bars long and is first heard in the violin with a simple figured bass accompaniment in quavers. the subject is then taken up in the upper keyboard, while the violin part plays figures drawn from the continuo line, including characteristic quaver leaps in sixths. a two bar bridging passages with semiquaver scales in parallel thirds in the upper parts leads into the statement of the fugue subject in the bass line, while the upper parts develop the accompanying motifs in syncopated exchanges. at the close semiquaver scales in the bass merge into the semiquaver arpeggios from the second interlude in the ritornello, which is reprised in full with the upper parts exchanged. it is followed by a reprise of the first interlude, which leads directly into a repetition of the entire fugal section with the upper parts exchanged. this time at the close the semiquaver scales in the bass line are joined by parallel scales in the upper parts for the final cadence that heralds the concluding rendition of the ritornello. the second movement of bwv 1019 is a largo in e minor in triple time. a brief movement of only 21 bars in length, it has the tonal purpose of mediating between the keys of g major and e minor of the first and third movements. with the opening allegro, it is one of the two movements present in every version of the sonata. the scoring, however, evolved as bach added a third "middle" voice to the harpsichord part in later versions. this change results in the harpsichord part itself evolving within the piece as the middle voice enters: the texture of the accompaniment is gradually transformed from a simple continuo to a fully realised three-part accompaniment. the largo begins with a simple walking bass in the harpsichord which for the first three bars is annotated as a figured bass. the violin enters with the theme which is imitated in canon by the upper harpsichord part two bars later. the second complete statement of the theme is in the harpsichord with the canon in the violin, which passes into its "noble" lower register playing an expressive descending sequence of long sustained notes in suspension. it is during this passage that the third middle voice is first heard in the harpsichord playing semiquavers which dovetail with those of the main theme in the harpsichord, the combination of parts developing into a semiquaver accompaniment. as this episode ends, the entire theme is heard once again but now in the bass line (in a slightly adapted form) with the violin in canon two bars later, resuming its descending sustained notes until the final cadence. in e minor and time, the third and central movement of bwv 1019 is an allegro in binary dance-form for solo harpsichord. unlike the movements it replaced—the corrente and tempo di gavotta from the sixth keyboard partita, bwv 830—it cannot be identified with a particular dance. although perhaps less brilliant than the sixth partita, the compositional style is comparable to bach's keyboard writing of the 1730s that can be found in the binary preludes in book 2 of the well tempered clavier or some movements from the overture in the french style, bwv 831: the final piece in bwv 831 was also an unspecified dance movement with a similar function of showcasing the harpsichord. bwv 1019/3 is composed as a large scale movement with two and sometimes three voices. the semiquavers in the rhythmic theme are developed in extended passagework in both the upper and lower keyboard; after a development section and a recapitulation of the theme an octave lower, the second part concludes with semiquavers in parallel and contrary motion in both hands. the fourth movement is an adagio in b minor in common time. of 21 bars in length, its tonal function is to mediate between the keys of the central and final movements (e minor and g major). the contrapuntal material of themes and counter-themes is shared and exchanged between all three parts; the long phrases in the main theme provide a soaring melody for the violin. the first version of the sonata also had an adagio in b minor with a similar function but, as richard jones comments, the later replacement is "more elaborate and of greater expressive weight and substance." gives a detailed analysis of the musical structure of the adagio, which alternates between two contrasting elements, the interplay between the two underlying the architecture of the movement. the first "arc-shaped" element is the fugue theme—florid, melodic, rhythmically complex and based around the tonic key. it is heard in the first bar in the harpsichord over a rising scale of quavers in the bass. an inverted version of the opening motif appears in the bass line in the third bar as the two upper voices play descending figures semiquaver couplets, which not only complete the melodic line of the fugue theme in the violin part but also provide a counter-theme. the second "rectilinear" element—more severe, chromatic and modulating—is first heard with its own counter-theme in the fifth bar. it is formed of a chain of motifs descending in crotchets, with syncopated rhythms related to those of the fugue theme. time-wise the first element accounts for the majority of the movement, but the second element governs its tonal structure. halfway through the movement in bar 11 the tonality reaches the relative major key of d major, but only fleetingly. the melody of the fugue subject and a variant of its completion return in the violin. after two bars of the chromatic syncopated material, the motifs of the fugue subject, broken up between all three voices, lead up to two cadences in f minor. the second element returns in the final two bar coda as the music modulates to the closing cadence in d major, in anticipation of the fifth movement in g major. the fifth and final movement of bwv 1019 is a concertante, gigue-like allegro in g major and time. written for three voices in "a"–"b"–"a" da capo form, it is a hybrid movement, combining features from the tutti fugue and the concerto allegro. the energetic quaver theme in the fugal ritornello section is made up of repeated notes; the semiquaver counter-theme is also made up of repeated notes. schweitzer and subsequent commentators have pointed out—without drawing any definite conclusions beyond the practise of self-borrowing—that the subject, countersubject and other motifs in the ritornello have strong affinities with the aria for soprano and continuo "phoebus eilt mit schnellen pferden" ("phoebus speeds with swifty steeds") from the secular wedding cantata "weichet nur, betrübte schatten", bwv 202 dating from bach's period in weimar. notes that probably in the original aria the quaver figures musically represented the trotting of horses and the semiquavers their swiftness. whatever its origins, the conception of the newly composed allegro matches that of the five other fugal last movements as well as the symmetry of the opening allegro. the opening ritornello section is 30 bars long. after the statement of the three-bar fugue subject in the violin, it is taken up in the upper harpsichord part with the semiquaver counter subject in the violin. it is then heard in the bass with the counter-theme in the upper harpsichord. at bar 14 the fugue develops with an inverted version of the opening motif in the violin in counterpoint with semiquaver figures in the left hand of the harpsichord with responses in the right hand. at the cadence marking the end of the ritornello (section "a"), the middle 58-bar "development" section "b" begins with a new highly ornamented one-bar theme in the harpsichord, consisting of declamatory repeated notes answered by a trill. it is echoed a bar later in the violin with the harpsichord playing in parallel thirds. the new theme has the effect of an interjection —a kind of caesura—temporarily halting the flow of semiquavers, which resumes immediately afterwards with cascading scales over the fugue subject in the bass line. after a reprise with the parts inverted between violin and harpsichord, the middle section continues with joyful dance-like material drawn from the ritornello in half-bar exchanges between the violin and upper harpsichord before a cadence in e minor. the eight bar opening segment of section "b" is then reprised with the parts inverted followed by another episode of one-bar exchanges of motifs from the ritornello between all three parts until the music comes to a halt with a cadence in b minor. it resumes as a fugue on the counter-subject of the ritornello but the flow of the counter-theme is interrupted four times by half-bar interjections of the "b" theme. as watchorn remarks, these momentary interruptions are similar in effect to those in the last movement of the fourth brandenburg concerto bwv 1049. after further contrapuntal exchanges between all three parts the music draws to a second halt with a cadence in b minor. it then resumes with a complete recapitulation of the ritornello back in g major. in the period 1700–1750, the trio sonata form became a sine qua non in the musical world. it incorporated all the ideals of harmony, melody and counterpoint espoused by theorists such as mattheson, scheibe and quantz. in his treatise "der vollkommene capellmeister" of 1739, mattheson wrote that, "... es müssen hier alle drey stimmen, jede für sich, eine feine melodie führen; und doch dabey, soviel möglich, den dreyklang behaupten, als obes nur zufälliger weise geschehe": "here each of the three voices must separately provide a fine melodic line; yet all the while together they must sustain as much as possible the three part harmony, as if by serendipity." amongst all composers of that era, bach was the one who raised the trio sonata form to its highest degree of perfection. in 1774 bach's son carl philip emmanuel commented that even after fifty years his father's compositions of this kind still sounded very good and that the lyricism of several of his adagios had never been surpassed. this continued veneration for these particular works even long after his death probably sprang not only from the fact that the form matched bach's own compositional ideals—that all voices should "work wondrously with each other" ("wundersam durcheinander arbeiten")—but also from the succeeding generation's preference for "sensitive" melodies. perhaps even more influential was bach's elevation of the harpsichord from a continuo instrument to a prominent obbligato instrument, on equal terms with the solo instrument, whilst also providing the bass line. as comments, with his sonatas for violin and obbligato keyboard "bach triggered off the gradual demise of the sonata for violin and continuo," even though it lived on in a few eighteenth century volin sonatas, for example those of bach's german contemporaries johann adam birkenstock, johann david heinichen, gottfried kirchhoff and johann georg pisendel. in the second half of the eighteenth century in germany, the sonatas were transmitted through hand copies made by bach's pupils and circle from leipzig. during that period berlin rose to prominence as the centre of musical activities in germany. the court of frederick the great, where carl philipp emanuel bach was appointed harpsichordist in 1740, had a number of exceptional violinists, including johann gottlieb graun, the violin teacher of wilhelm friedemann bach, and franz benda, another of graun's pupils. in berlin princess anna amalia, the sister of frederick the great, was a keen amateur keyboard player and from 1758 had bach's pupil johann kirnberger as her music teacher: since 1751 he had been employed as another of frederick's court violinists. anna amalia's music library—the amalienbibliothek, now incorporated in the berlin state library—contained a large collection of bach manuscripts, including a hand copy of the sonatas. many musical compositions from her collection were transmitted to vienna by baron van swieten, the austrian ambassador to berlin: starting in the 1770s, van swieten ran his only weekly salon in vienna devoted to the music of bach. bach's music was also performed in berlin outside the royal court. the family of daniel itzig, banker to frederick the great and his father, provided a cultural milieu for musical connoisseurs: four of his daughters, sara, zippora, fanny and bella (maternal grandmother of felix mendelssohn), were all keyboard players. sara was the most gifted harpsichordist in the itzig family, of professional standard. when wilhelm friedemann bach moved to berlin from dresden, she took lessons from him and provided him with some financial support in his old age. through wilhelm friedemann and carl philipp emanuel, she acquired a collection of hand copies of bach manuscripts, including copies of the first and third sonatas (bwv 1014 and bwv 1016). after her marriage to the banker samuel salomon levy in 1784, she ran a weekly musical salon in their residence on the museuminsel. sara herself performed in public, including performances at the sing-akademie zu berlin, from its foundation in 1791 until her retirement in 1810. the collections of bachiana of sara levy and c.p.e. bach became part of the sing-akademie's library, now held in the berlin state library. the first printed score only appeared in the early nineteenth century. it was published in the early 1800s in zurich by the swiss musicologist hans georg nägeli. the son of a musically inclined protestant pastor in wetzikon, nägeli showed precocious musical skills. in 1790 he moved to zurich where he took lessons with the swiss pianist johann david brünings, who introduced him to the music of bach. a year later he set up a music shop and in 1794 a publishing house. corresponding with bach's publisher bernhard christoph breitkopf and the widow of c.p.e. bach, he was able to acquire bach manuscripts, including that of the mass in b minor, which he eventually published. his bach publications started with the well tempered clavier in 1801 and the art of the fugue in 1802. his interests later turned to pedagogy and singing: in zurich he set up an institute similar to the sing-akademie zu berlin of carl friedrich christian fasch. in the early nineteenth century the virtuosity of the violinist niccolò paganini heralded a new generation of violinists. the polish violinist karol lipiński, trained with paganini and toured all the main cities in europe before eventually settling in dresden. in 1841, as part of a complete edition of bach's works by the leipzig publisher c.f. peters, he prepared a new performing edition of bwv 1014–1019 in collaboration with the pianist carl czerny. it had the title "six grandes sonates pour piano et violon obligé". for the edition, moritz hauptmann corrected errors in nägeli's version by going back to original manuscripts; and lipinski decided upon bowing and other performing details by playing through the sonatas with the organist august alexander klengel. gottfried wilhelm fink, the editor of the allgemeine musikalische zeitung, commented that ""die angabe der bezeichnungen von einem manne kommt, der nicht blos volkommener meister seines instrumentes, sondern auch vom geiste bach’scher grossartigkeit durchdrungen ist"" ("the provision of annotations comes from a man who is not merely a perfect master of his instrument, but also suffused with the sublimity of bach’s spirit"). the berlin violinist, ferdinand david, was concertmaster at the gewandhaus, while felix mendelssohn was director; their association dated back to their infancy, as they were born within a year of each other in the same house. a champion of bach's music and, with robert schumann, one of the main musicians leading the bach revival in germany, mendelssohn would often include bach's lesser known works in the programmes of the evening chamber music concerts at the gewandhaus: in 1838 david and mendelssohn performed the third sonata in e major bwv 1016; and in 1840 david played the chaconne in d minor and praeludium in e major from bach's sonatas and partitas for solo violin with piano accompaniments provided by mendelssohn; he felt that a piano accompaniment was needed to make the solo violin works more accessible to a nineteenth century audience. the chaconne was programmed in several subsequent gewandhaus seasons; david was unwilling to perform it unaccompanied in public but the young joseph joachim did so while briefly sharing the first desk with david. in leipzig the firm of friedrich kistner published david's performing version of the solo sonatas and partitas in 1843. later mendelssohn had the arrangement of the chaconne published in england in 1847; piano accompaniments were subsequently provided for all bach's solo violin works by schumann. in 1864 david prepared an edition of bwv 1014–1016 for peters which was reissued ten years later by breitkopf & härtel. the sonatas bwv 1014–1019 figured prominently in the "english bach awakening" that took place at the beginning of the 19th century, largely due to the efforts of samuel wesley. in 1809, while arranging the future publication with charles frederick horn of the well tempered clavier (sold by subscription in four instalments), wesley began to stage performances of bach's works in london with the help of horn, vincent novello and benjamin jacobs, organist at the surrey chapel, southwark. the public concerts included keyboard works—with some of bach's organ works arranged for piano three hands—and often one of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord, with the german violinist johann peter salomon as soloist and wesley at the keyboard. for the first concerts, when salomon was unavailable, wesley played the violin part himself, although somewhat out of practice. prior to the first public concert with organ accompaniment in the surrey chapel in november 1809, wesley and jacobs had also given a private performance of all six sonatas to charles burney, a venerable handelian, recently converted to bachism by wesley. salomon was already familiar with bach's compositions for violin through bach's son carl philipp emanuel whom he knew from his period in berlin, where he had served from 1764 to 1780 as director of music to prince heinrich of prussia, the younger brother of frederick the great. in 1774 johann friedrich reichardt had reported on salomon's performances of the "magnificent violin solos by bach without accompaniment" in berlin, praising "the great power and sureness with which salomon presented these masterpieces." in london thirty years later, at wesley's 1810 benefit concert in the hanover square rooms, salomon again performed one of the unaccompanied sonatas together with one of the sonatas for violin and harpsichord, with wesley at the keyboard. more of the sonatas bwv 1014–1019 were included in subsequent concerts featuring salomon: two were played for the first time in 1812 in a surrey chapel recital with jacob at the organ. at the turn of the nineteenth century, the chamber music of bach became known in paris thanks to the intermediary marie bigot. born in colmar in 1786, she was a highly accomplished keyboard player. in 1804, she moved to vienna, where her performances attracted the admiration of haydn, salieri and beethoven; her husband served as librarian to beethoven's patron count razumovsky. in vienna she became familiar with the keyboard and chamber music of bach through the musical circles of baron van swieten, who had died a year before her arrival. obliged to return to france in 1809 because of the napoleonic wars, during the period 1809–1813 she proceeded to mount concerts in paris with the violinist pierre baillot and the cellist jacques-michel hurel de lamare. after 1813, as a result of political events, she restricted herself to teaching, taking felix mendelssohn and his sister fanny as pupils in 1816–1817. bach's sonatas for violin and keyboard featured in the repertoire of the paris concerts and prompted the musicologist françois-joseph fétis to comment that, "anybody who has not heard bach's beautiful compositions played by mme bigot, lamare and baillot will not know how far the perfection of instrumental music can go." later around 1820 fétis himself attempted unsuccessfully to advance the "musique d'autre-fois" of bach: his invitation for subscriptions to a proposed publication of organ works by bach elicited only three responses. another musicologist who had attended many of the recitals of bigot was the musicologist jérôme-joseph de momigny. of their performance of bwv 1014 in 1810 he wrote: the writings of momigny can be considered as marking the reawakening of an interest in bach in france. already in 1803, barely a year after the publication of forkel's biography of bach, he had started his study of polyphony with the fugues and sonatas of bach. one of momigny's main contributions was an article in the music section of the "encyclopédie méthodique ou par ordre de matière" (1818) analysing the sonatas bwv 1014 and bwv 1015/1. the article discusses the development of the sonata in the eighteenth century, divided into halves, with the sonatas of bach, in nägeli's edition, taken as representatives for 1700–1750 and the piano sonatas of haydn for 1750–1800. although momigny enthusiastically wrote of bach, "c'est dans les trente ou quarante premières années du siècle dernier, qu'il offrit au public les fruits pleins de maturité de son génie transcendant,"—"it was in the first thirty or forty years of the last century that he gave the public the fully matured fruits of his transcendent genius"—the general revival of interest in the music of bach, particularly his choral works, was slower in france than in germany. while referring to the timelessness and influence of bach's music, momigny lamented that the sonatas were so rarely performed; he wrote that the time was not ripe because of changes in musical taste, but also observed that "there are very few people capable of playing them and understanding them". at the beginning of the twentieth century there was an increased interest in classical chamber music in france. the onset of the first world war and resulting issues of nationalism prompted french music publishers to bring out their own editions of classic german works to replace german editions. claude debussy was the editor for durand's version of bwv 1014–1019. selected published editions books and journal articles ethel higgins byrne (1883-1955) was an american progressive era radical feminist. she was the younger sister of birth control activist margaret sanger, and assisted her in this work. ethel and margaret were the daughters of michael hennessey higgins and anne higgins. it has been noted that anne higgins gave preferential treatment to ethel, much to the dismay of margaret, and that caused a rift in their relationship. ethel had a short and unhappy marriage to jack byrne, a glassworker. their daughter, olive byrne, was an important muse to the creator of wonder woman, william moulton marston, and more details of ethel byrne's life came to light when jill lepore wrote about the superheroine character in 2014. ethel byrne's background in nursing was pivotal to her activism and directly contributed to her desire to make birth control accessible to women of varying socio-economic backgrounds. she was a trained nurse who assisted immigrant women in need of medical care in the brownsville area of brooklyn, new york in 1916. the two sisters and theatre artist fania mindell opened a birth control clinic in brooklyn in october 1916. the three feminist activists advertised the services offered by the clinic by passing out flyers in different languages, including english, yiddish and italian. although byrne is not widely known today, her early activism had long lasting impact on raising awareness of the importance of access to information about birth control. the arrest of ethel byrne compelled a group of politically active new york women to ask for a meeting with president woodrow wilson to request that he contribute to overturning laws criminalizing distribution of birth control. the clinic was highly controversial due to the enforcement of the comstock laws. byrne and sanger distributed pessaries and would show their clients how to use this method of contraception in direct violation of these laws. this was the first birth control clinic in the united states. the clinic caused an immediate sensation in the press, getting national attention, and all three women were arrested and tried for "distributing obscene materials". all three women were found guilty, but eventually the verdicts were overturned, and their campaign was ultimately successful, leading to major changes in social policy and to the laws governing birth control and sex education around the world. the clinic closed but later became the basis for what was to become known as planned parenthood. after being arrested for distribution of information about birth control, byrne was sentenced to 30 days in blackwell's island prison. she was jailed at blackwell island workhouse on january 22, 1917 for her activism in advocating for the legalization of birth control and subsequently went on a hunger strike. sanger was concerned her sister would lose her life as a result of this hunger strike and byrne was force fed while serving her sentence after 185 hours without food or water. as historian jill lepore reports in "the secret history of wonder woman," ethel byrne was the first female political prisoner in the united states to be subjected to force feeding. mrs. byrne was prepared to starve herself to death in support of her cause. her case was the first of a group of cases known as the "sanger cases" to be brought to trial. sanger supported byrne's activism and was quoted as saying "i didn't advise her to undertake this hunger strike, but i certainly would not tell her to end it now." although they had a falling out after this arrest, their confinement helped bring national attention to their push for the legalization of birth control. it also hurt their relationship as sanger's notoriety grew after this arrest and she was sometimes known to take credit for ethel's infamous hunger strike. although her sister went on to become world-famous for her advocacy of birth control, byrne's legacy is not well known. this is apparent on the planned parenthood website, as it is noted sanger opened her 1916 clinic with "her sister". ethel is not even mentioned by name and unlike her older sister is not a household name. ethel byrne had a stroke and died in 1955. she did not live to see the legalization of the birth control pill, as she died five years before it received fda approval. roger hampson (born 15 november 1948) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). in the early career years hampson undertook his teaching training and was employed as sports master for 17 years at xavier college burke hall until moving into sports administration management role at melbourne olympic park trust. hampson came from latrobe university mid way through the 1968 season playing in the reserves premiership team against richmond he then played eight games in his first senior season with essendon and won the club's best first year player award, but a severe knee injury forced him to miss the latter half of the year and all of 1970. he returned in 1971, but could only manage two more senior games before leaving mid-season to victorian football association side northcote. hampson next played with fellow vfa team sandringham for a year before moving to suburban football. he was captain-coach of east caulfield, balwyn and edithvale-aspendale he was a member of the coaching staff from 1991 to 1995 to vfl club melbourne's. he then went onto the melbourne football club board as chairman of recruiting before hampson left his role at melbourne olympic park trust and returned to essendon 1989 to be the club's general manager for seven years. hampson went on to fulfil roles as ceo tasmanian football league, melbourne tigers basketball club and the victorian canine association. hampson then returned to his lifelong passion of teaching at st peter's college, as teacher, year level coordinator and house leader before taking up an appointment as campus re leader. currently hampson is chairman of afl south east commission, while continuing his teaching at penleigh essendon grammar. he is currently a re teacher at penleigh and essendon grammar. ian stevenson (born 23 september 1944) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). after his essendon stint, stevenson returned to his two old sides, east devonport and north ballarat, as well as playing with kingsville. john sinclair (born 29 june 1948) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). he was a member of essendon's reserves premiership team in 1968 and played two senior vfl games in 1969. genetic variance is a concept outlined by the english biologist and statistician ronald fisher in his fundamental theorem of natural selection which he outlined in his 1930 book "the genetical theory of natural selection" which postulates that the rate of change of biological fitness can be calculated by the genetic variance of the fitness itself. fisher tried to give a statistical formula about how the change of fitness in a population can be attributed to changes in the allele frequency. fisher made no restrictive assumptions in his formula concerning fitness parameters, mate choices or the number of alleles and loci involved. phenotypic variance, usually combines the genotype variance with the environmental variance. genetic variance has three major components: the additive genetic variance, dominance variance, and epistatic variance. additive genetic variance involves the inheritance of a particular allele from your parent and this allele's independent effect on the specific phenotype, which will cause the phenotype deviation from the mean phenotype. dominance genetic variance refers to the phenotype deviation caused by the interactions between alternative alleles that control one trait at one specific locus. epistatic variance involves an interaction between different alleles in different loci. heritability refers to how much of the phenotypic variance is due to variance in genetic factors. usually after we know the total amount of genetic variance that is responsible for a trait, we can calculate the trait heritability. heritability can be used as an important predictor to evaluate if a population can respond to artificial or natural selection. broad-sense heritability, h = v/v, involves the proportion of phenotypic variation due to the effects of additive, dominance, and epistatic variance. narrow-sense heritability, h = v/v, refers to the proportion of phenotypic variation that is due to additive genetic values (v). the phenotypic variance (v) in a population is influenced by genetic variance (v) and environmental sources (v) v = v + v the total amount of genetic variance can be divided into several groups, including additive variance (v), dominance variance (v), and epistatic variance (v). v = v + v + v 1.traditionally, using pedigree data in humans, plants, and livestock species to estimate additive genetic variance. 2. using a single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) regression method to quantify the contribution of additive, dominance, and imprinting variance to the total genetic variance 3. genetic variance–covariance (g ) matrices conveniently summarize the genetic relationships among a suite of traits and are a central parameter in the determination of the multivariate response to selection. 1.the distribution of genetic variance across phenotypic space and the response to selection. understand how empirical spectral distribution of g predicts the response to selection across phenotypic space. in particular, trait combinations that form a nearly null genetic subspace with little genetic variance respond only inconsistently to selection. they set out a framework for understanding how the empirical spectral distribution of g may differ from the random expectations that have been developed under random matrix theory (rmt). using a data set containing a large number of gene expression traits. 2.comparing estimates of genetic variance across different relationship models. in this research, the researchers use the different relationship models to compare estimates of genetic variance components and the heritability. however, different models may give different estimates of genetic variances. they found that expected genetic variances usually equals the estimated variance times a statistic, dk, and for the most typical models of relationships, dk is close to 1, which means most of these models can be used to estimate the genetic variance. 3.estimation of additive, dominance, and imprinting genetic variance using genomic data the development of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) mapping helps to explore the genetic variation of complex traits at individual loci. researchers can quantify the contribution of additive, dominance, and imprinting variance to the total genetic variance by using a snp regression method. gary crouch (born 27 september 1946) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). after leaving essendon, crouch played for rochester for one season before moving to western australia and joining subiaco in the west australian football league (wafl). he spent four seasons with subiaco, playing on half back flank in the 1973 wafl winning grand final team. he then moved back to victoria to the bendigo football league (bfl). crouch played one season with south bendigo and was captain-coach of sandhurst as well as regularly representing and captain of the bfl in interleague matches. hadopyrgus ngataana is a tiny, transparent, and critically endangered freshwater snail, found only in a single stream in a cave in new zealand. this snail has only been found in one spot: in one pool, in a stream at the entrance of maitai cave, in the maitai river valley southeast of nelson. it is one of a group of very small, blind, transparent freshwater snails found in caves or underground streams, especially in northwest nelson, and like many of these species has evolved in just one small area. the tiny (1.7 x 1.2 mm) snail was discovered by frank climo in the 1970s, but was considered to be just one form of another subterranean "hadopyrgus" snail found in the nelson area. in 2001 martin haase and christina mosimann collected more specimens from maitai cave by washing and sieving gravel, and using both morphological and genetic evidence realised these belonged to a distinct species. they scientifically described and named it "hadopyrgus ngataana" in 2008; the name they chose, "ngataana," comes from the māori words "ngata" (snail or slug) and "ana" (cave). in november 2018 the department of conservation classified "h. ngataana" as nationally critical, using the new zealand threat classification system. the species meets the nationally critical criteria because it is found in just one location, and occupies a total area of less than 1 hectare. because maitai cave is a popular recreational area, and the stream the species has evolved in is so small, the population of this critically endangered snail is expected to decline. while it is possible for freshwater invertebrates to be legally protected under the wildlife amendment act 1980, neither "h. ngataana" nor any other new zealand freshwater invertebrate has been protected. vic papp (born 31 may 1946) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). papp later played for essendon high school old boys, his old side riverside stars and was captain-coach of gladstone park. "'the lake gun" is a satirical short story by james fenimore cooper first published in 1850. the short story was commission by george e. wood for $100, and published in a miscellany titled "the parthenon". the short story satirizes political demagoguery, focused on william henry seward. the title of the story comes from a mysterious loud exploding sound coming from seneca lake, called "the lake gun" by european american settlers to the area, and known today as the seneca guns. these sounds remain unexplained to this day, with no clear or agreed-upon cause. john fanning (born 5 september 1948) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). fanning's uncle, fred, was a champion goalkicker with melbourne and still holds the record for most goals in a single vfl/afl match. with essendon, fanning won the under-19s best and fairest in 1967 and a reserves premiership in 1968. after leaving the bombers, he played for williamstown and brunswick in the victorian football association (vfa), winning a premiership with the former. fanning finished his career with strathmore in 1979. teenage shutdown! "i'm gonna stay," sometimes referred to as "volume 13," is the thirteenth installment in the teenage shutdown! series of garage rock compilations put out by tim warren of crypt records, which is available on both lp and compact disc formats. this volume was released on february 11, 2000 and consists of primarily raw and harder up-tempo songs, often featuring fuzz-toned guitars, as indicated by the two sub-headings which read "target: fuzz" and "17 fuzz-drenched rarities: 1966-1969" the moxies from paducah, kentucky, are pictured of the front cover and perform the title track, "i'm gonna stay." like all of the entries in the series, the collection was compiled and mastered by warren, using original 45 rpm records selected from the collection of noted garage rock archivist, mike markesich (colloquially known as "mop top mike"). the set begins with "i've got a feeling," by the mondels from georgia, who appear again on the thirteenth track, "you'll never come back to stay". wanderers' rest, from milwaukee, wisconsin perform "anytime an anywhere." other highlights include "dance girl dance, "greg barr & the barr association, from houston and "love and kisses" by lou capri, from chicago, which features a fuzzed-drenched guitar solo. the most downcast song on the album is by the sceptres from glen ellyn, illinois, who perform the despairing folk and blues-influenced lament, "but i can dream." arkansas' the rock garden are heard playing the upbeat "super stuff." the final track is "last night," by the night mist from tennessee. robert w. "bob" thompson (born 19 june 1947) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). while with essendon he won a reserves premiership in 1968. after leaving the bombers, he played with subiaco in the west australian football league (wafl), preston in the victorian football association (vfa) and then returned to his original team, castlemaine. he was later an assistant coach of essendon's under-19s and coached essendon grammar old boys. hms "alert" was launched in 1793 for the royal navy. in may 1794 the french navy captured her and took her into service as "alerte". a few months later the royal navy destroyed her. commander charles smyth commissioned her in october 1793. he then sailed for nova scotia in may 1794. "alerte" was off the coast of ireland when she had the misfortune to encounter the 40-gun french frigate "unité". at daybreak on 14 may "alert" was at when she sighted three vessels. these edged towards "alert", as she edged away, and the strangers did not respond to "alert"s signals. at about 10:45 another three vessels appeared. the strange vessels signaled to each other, and most sailed away, but one remained in chase. then at noon some vessels appeared off "alert"s bow and smyth decided to engage his pursuer to try to cripple her and so escape. "alert" and the frigate closed at about 1:45pm and an action commenced after smyth declined an invitation to strike. by 3:30 "alert" had lost three men killed and nine wounded, her rigging and sails were shredded, and she had taken shots between wind and water. at this point smyth struck. the french took her into service as "alerte". some four months later, on 23 august, , captain john borlase warren, and , captain sir edward pellew, chased two french corvettes, "alerte" and "espion" into audierne bay. the two corvettes anchored off the gamelle rocks, but when they saw that the british intended to capture them, their captains got under weigh and ran their vessels aground below the guns of three shore batteries. the corvettes continued to exchange fire with the two british frigates until early evening, when the corvettes' masts fell. at that point many of the french crewmen abandoned their vessels and went ashore. warren sent in the boats from both "flora" and "arethusa", all under pellew's command, with orders to set fire or otherwise destroy the two corvettes. pellew went in and took possession of both, but determined that he could not extract the wounded. pellew therefore left the vessels, which he determined were bilged and scuttled, with rocks having pierced their bottoms, and left with 52 prisoners. pellew estimated that "alerte" had suffered 20 to 30 men killed and wounded, and that "espion" had lost more. french records indicate that "alerte", which had been under the command of "lieutenant de vaisseau" passart, had been scuttled and was lost. however, the french navy was able to refloat "espion", which had been under the command of "lieutenant de vaisseau" magendie. ian crowley (born 4 april 1948) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). he later played for brunswick in the victorian football association (vfa) and berwick, before coaching noble park methodists and old mentone grammarians. malmö live is an event centre in malmö, opened in august 2015, containing a concert hall, conference facilities, a hotel, offices, and housing. malmö live concert hall is the home of the malmö symphony orchestra. eddie lake (born 25 june 1951) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). lake's brother, bruce, also played vfl football for essendon and footscray. lake spent six seasons with essendon where he was in and out of the senior team. during that time, he won a reserves premiership in 1968, was named the club's most courageous player in 1970 and was awarded the reserves best and fairest in 1972. after leaving the bombers, lake played with coburg in the victorian football association (vfa), winning a premiership with them in his first year. he later moved to queensland and played for coorparoo and southport, as well as representing queensland. wally buhaj (born 5 may 1947) is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). he won essendon's reserves best and fairest in 1968, the year they won the premiership. after leaving essendon, buhaj played with burnie in tasmania, before moving to queensland and playing for mayne, wilston grange and strathpine. helium production in the united states totaled 73 million cubic meters in 2014. the us was the world's largest helium producer, providing 40 percent of world supply. in addition, the us federal government sold 30 million cubic meters from storage. other major helium producers were algeria and qatar. all commercial helium is recovered from natural gas. helium usually makes up a minuscule portion of natural gas, but can make up as much as 10 percent of natural gas in some fields. a helium content of 0.3 percent or more is considered necessary for commercial helium extraction. in 2012, helium was recovered at 16 extraction plants, from gas wells in colorado, kansas, oklahoma, texas, and wyoming. one extraction plant in utah was idle in 2012. in 1903, an oil exploration well at dexter, kansas, produced a gas that would not burn. kansas state geologist erasmus haworth took samples of the gas back to the university of kansas at lawrence where chemists hamilton cady and david mcfarland discovered that gas contained 1.84 percent helium. this led to further discoveries of helium-bearing natural gas in kansas. the military was interested in helium for balloons and dirigibles. the us army built the first helium extraction plant in 1915 at petrolia, texas, where a large natural gas field averaged nearly 1 percent helium. the united states navy established three experimental helium plants during world war i, to recover enough helium to supply barrage balloons with the non-flammable, lighter-than-air gas. two of the experimental plants were north of fort worth, texas, and recovered helium from natural gas piped in from the petrolia oil field in clay county, texas. the mineral leasing act, which provided for oil and gas leasing on federal land, reserved all helium contained in natural gas on federal land to the government. during world war ii, military demand for helium rose, so the federal government built a number of new helium extraction plants. one such plant was at shiprock, new mexico, to recover helium from gas at the rattlesnake field. gas from the rattlesnake field, like that of a number of other fields in the four corners area, contained mostly nitrogen and very little hydrocarbons, and was produced exclusively for the helium. the helium acts amendments of 1960 (public law 86–777) empowered the u.s. bureau of mines to arrange for five private plants to recover helium from natural gas. the bureau also built a pipeline from bushton, kansas, to connect those plants with the government's partially depleted cliffside gas field, near amarillo, texas. the crude helium (50 percent to 80 percent helium) was injected and stored in the cliffside gas field until needed, when it then was further purified. by 1995, a billion cubic meters of the gas had been stored, but the reserve was us$1.4 billion in debt, prompting the congress of the united states in 1996 to phase out the reserve. the resulting "helium privatization act of 1996" (public law 104–273) directed the united states department of the interior to empty the reserve. sales to government and government contractor began in 1998. sales to the open market began in 2003. the sales program paid the indebtedness, and is still selling helium. all commercial production of helium comes from natural gas. there are two basic types of commercial helium deposits: natural gas produced primarily for the hydrocarbon content, typically containing less than 3 percent helium; and gas with little or no hydrocarbons, produced solely for the helium, which typically makes up between 5 and 10 percent of the gas. although natural gas in which helium is only a byproduct contains a much lower percentage of helium, historically it has supplied the most helium. most geologists believe that the majority of helium in natural gas derives from radioactive decay of uranium and thorium, either from radioactive black shales, or granitoid basement rock. granite and related rocks tend to contain more uranium and thorium than other rock types. however, some believe that the helium is largely primordial. unusual geological conditions are considered necessary for commercial concentrations of helium in natural gas. helium accumulations are commonly in structural closures overlying bedrock highs. faults, fractures, and igneous intrusives are regarded by some geologists as important pathways for helium to migrate upward into the sedimentary section. the atomic radius of helium is so small that shale, which is effective in trapping methane, allows the helium to migrate upward through the shale pores. nonporous caprock such as halite (rock salt) or anhydrite is more effective in trapping helium. helium deposits occur mostly in paleozoic rocks. high helium content of natural gas is accompanied by high contents of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. the percentage of nitrogen is usually 10 to 20 times that of helium, so that natural gas with 5 percent or more helium may have little or no methane. a representative sample from the pinta dome in apache county, arizona, for instance, has 8.3 percent helium, 89.9 percent nitrogen, 1 percent carbon dioxide, and only 0.1 percent methane. in such cases, the gas is produced solely for its helium content. in the early 20th century, the highest production and largest known reserves of helium were in the gases produced for their hydrocarbon content. the most important of these were the hugoton, panhandle, greenwood, and keyes fields, all located in western kansas, and the panhandles of oklahoma and texas. the hugoton and panhandle fields are particularly large, covering thousands of square miles. the helium content of the gas varies greatly within some fields. in the panhandle field, helium content is highest, up to 1.3 percent or more, along the updip southwest edge, and lowest, 0.1 percent along the northeast edge. by 2003, the natural gas fields of the great plains of colorado, kansas, oklahoma, and texas, still held important reserves, but out of 100 bcf of total measured helium reserves in the us, 61 bcf was contained in the riley ridge field of western wyoming, a gas deposit produced for its carbon dioxide content. the four corners area of the southwest us has a number of gas fields containing 5 to 10 percent helium and large percentages of nitrogen, with little or no hydrocarbons. the fields are associated with igneous intrusions. one field, dineh-bi-keyah in arizona, produced oil from a fractured sill. the other fields have no associated oil. helium-rich gas fields in the united states helium is marketed in two specifications: crude helium, which typically contains 75 percent to 80 percent helium, and grade a helium, which is 99.995 percent pure. a large volume of helium was stored underground in the cliffside field in the decade following the helium act amendments of 1960. in recent years, the reserve has been systematically selling its helium. as of 2012 the united states national helium reserve still accounted for 30 percent of the world's helium. the reserve was expected to run out of helium in 2018. as of october 1, 2019 the storage was listed as: the united states is a major exporter of helium. for many years the united states produced more than 90% of the commercial helium in the world. in the mid-1990s, a new plant in arzew, algeria, began producing 17 million cubic meters (600 million cubic feet), enough to supply all of europe's demand. in 2004–2006, two additional plants, one in ras laffan, qatar, and the other in skikda, algeria, were built, and algeria became the second leading producer of helium. in august 2014, the bureau of land management auctioned crude helium from the national reserve at an average price of us$104 per thousand cubic feet of helium content. grade a helium sold for about $200 per thousand cubic feet, or $7.21 per cubic meter in 2014. john flemming (born march 10, 1967 in halifax, nova scotia) is a canadian professional racing driver. flemming currently drives the #97 happy harry's affordable building dodge for flemming motorsports in the parts for trucks pro stock tour. flemming entered a demolition derby in 1984, winning it, and catching the racing bug. the following year flemming entered the street stock division at scotia speedworld in enfield, nova scotia, just across the highway from the halifax international airport. he would race locally at scotia speedworld for the next ten years before deciding to make the jump to the mascar series, which was the predecessor to the maritime pro stock tour, in 1994. flemming is a five-time champion on the maritime pro stock tour circuit, winning the title in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2013, and 2014. he won his biggest race of his career in 2012 at the annual iwk 250 at riverside international speedway, leading 142 laps and finishing ahead of jonathan hicken and nascar regular joey logano. he would win the 250 again in 2014, this time edging out local favourite donald chisholm. flemming made his nascar canadian tire series debut at the 2011 komatsu 300 at riverside international speedway for nova racing, finishing a respectable 12th. he made his second career start, again at riverside, in 2014, this time bring it home in 9th for his first career top 10. flemming was scheduled to return to riverside in 2015 to make his third career start, this time for his own team. a day before the event flemming decided to put d. j. casey in the car instead. flemming was impressed by casey's performance in the parts for trucks pro stock tour and upon learning about his dream to race a nascar event, decided to give the 20-year-old casey a shot. casey made the most of his opportunity, finishing an impressive 10th. john is married to donna flemming and the couple has two children, cody and taylor. when not racing john works as a longshoreman in halifax. event run as part of the pro all stars series bradley chedester cabaness-soileau is an american model, dj, producer, and designer known for appearing in lana del rey's music videos "blue jeans" (2012), "born to die" (2012), and "west coast" (2014). he is signed to next models in los angeles. he is of french, german, and spanish descent. he has mentioned having a stepmother and stepfather. he said his last name is pronounced like "swallow". he is an atheist. he was arrested in 2006 for committing grand theft auto and received one year in prison, being released in june 2007. he has admitted to formerly being a drug dealer. in april 2012, he married singer porcelain black. they divorced in 2014. soileau is commonly noted for his tattoos. he has one on his

best friend moves in with his new girlfriend. the film was broadcast on itv on 3 january 2000. the close friendship between plasterer david (steve john shepherd) and mature-aged student theo (john simm) becomes threatened when theo reveals that he intends to move in with hannah (laura fraser), his photographer girlfriend of six months. the short-tempered david, intensely protective of his best friend, plots to break the pair up, using hannah’s insecurities against them. when they do separate, david reveals his sexual orientation and true feelings for theo on his favourite talk-show, judith adams' (meera syal) "forgive and forget". writing for "variety", dennis harvey has mixed feeling about the script, praising mark burt’s balance of ‘the primary character trio’s unremarkable yet complex emotions, framing them in well-captured pub/construction site/family milieus.’ but felt that the ‘somewhat gratuitous running gag—glimpses of the titular, fictional chat show, a kinder-gentler "jerry springer"-type mix of real folks and hot-button topics—suddenly takes center stage.’ he added that this ‘good little movie abruptly grows loud, large and heavy-handed in the last reel.’ harvey praised the acting saying that ‘there’s much to enjoy here, particularly in the uniformly fine cast. … shepherd … is a real find, convincingly rendering david as withdrawn, laddish and lovesick all at once. apart from some killing-time interludes set to pop tunes, and the rather cheesy flash of horizontal-wipe scene transitions, helmer aisling walsh lends material both youthful breeziness and emotional weight.’ "filmcritic.com"’s christopher null dismissed the film, declaring that if ‘you manage to stay interested, well, you're a stouter fellow than i.’ "tv guide"’s troy lambert wrote that despite ‘the reality-challenged script, director aisling walsh delivers decent performances from the cast, especially shepherd, simm and fraser as the unlikely three-way.’ the 1940 new jersey gubernatorial election was held on november 5, 1940. democratic nominee charles edison defeated republican nominee robert c. hendrickson with 51.38% of the vote. primary elections were held on may 21,

occupation of the philippines. early in the war, he led the last american cavalry charge in military history. edwin ramsey was born in carlyle, illinois. the family moved, first to el dorado, kansas, when he was two, and then to wichita ten years later. his father committed suicide after being arrested on suspicion of battering his wife. ramsey's mother was a dermatologist who later ran her own clinic. his older sister, nadine, became one of the first female united states mail pilots and ferried fighters and bombers in world war ii. ramsey graduated from oklahoma military academy in claremore, oklahoma, in may 1938. he attended the university of oklahoma, but left to enlist in the united states army in 1941. in february 1941, second lieutenant ramsey was assigned to the 11th cavalry regiment at campo, california. when volunteers were requested for the 26th cavalry regiment (philippine scouts) in the philippines, he jumped at the opportunity. ramsey recalled later that "... i didn't even know where it was, except that it was a warm country, it was tropical and they had a good polo team there." he had been on the oklahoma military academy polo team and played on the losing side of a polo match in the philippines the day before japan attacked pearl harbor; the umpire was major general jonathan m. wainwright (who would assume command of the south west pacific area after general douglas macarthur was evacuated to australia). as a first lieutenant during the withdrawal to corregidor in the philippines campaign, he was in command of the 27-man, mostly filipino g troop when they encountered the enemy in the village of morong on the bataan peninsula on january 16, 1942. despite being heavily outnumbered by an infantry force supported by tanks, ramsey ordered the last cavalry charge in american military history. the surprised japanese broke and fled. ramsey and his men held their position for five hours under heavy fire, until reinforcements could be brought up. he would later be awarded the silver star and the purple heart for this action. after the fall of bataan, ramsey and captain joseph barker made their way to central luzon and joined lieutenant colonel claude thorp, who had been given the task of organizing guerrilla resistance by macarthur. luzon was divided into four regions, and barker was given responsibility for the east central luzon guerrilla area (eclga), extending from manila to the lingayen gulf. after thorp was captured by the japanese in october 1942, barker took his place, putting ramsey in charge of the eclga. barker himself was eventually caught and executed by the japanese. the guerrilla force under ramsey's command grew to nearly 40,000. they fought using captured and hand-made weapons ("we made arms out of sawed-off pipes that we used as shotguns."), gathered intelligence and distributed propaganda. allied forces landed in luzon in early january 1945. on june 13, general macarthur personally awarded ramsey the distinguished service cross for his guerrilla activities. ramsey, already a major by 1943, was promoted to lieutenant colonel shortly before being ordered back to the united states. the ordeal in the philippines had taken its toll – he had lost half his weight and was down to only in january 1945 – and he spent nearly a year recovering from malaria, dysentery, and acute malnutrition in the hospital. lieutenant colonel ramsey received a medical discharge in 1946. ramsey obtained a law degree at the university of oklahoma. he was a vice president of hughes aircraft corporation's far east division in japan. he later headed electronics and consulting firms in taiwan and the philippines. when he retired, he settled in california. he co-wrote his memoirs, "lieutenant ramsey's war: from horse soldier to guerrilla commander", published in 1990. in 1948, he married madeleine willoquet, the daughter of the french ambassador in manila. they had four children. they divorced in the 1970s. he then married raquel ramirez in 1979. edwin price ramsey died of natural causes on march 7, 2013, and was buried with full military honors at arlington national cemetery on june 28. he was survived by his second wife and his four children from his first marriage. peter brynie lindeman (february 1, 1858 – january 1, 1930) was a norwegian organist, cellist, and composer. lindeman was born in kristiania (now oslo), norway. his father was the organist ludvig mathias lindeman and he was married to the composer anna severine lindeman (1859–1938). lindeman studied under erika nissen in oslo, as well as in stockholm from 1878 to 1879 and under friedrich grützmacher in dresden from 1885 to 1886. he was the principal organist at uranienborg church from 1880 to 1907, and at frogner church from 1907 to 1930. he also played cello in the evenings at the christiania theatre from 1880 to 1883. together with his father, he established the christiania organist school in 1883, with 12 students. in 1885 it had 174 students and was renamed the music and organist school. this was renamed again in 1892 to the christiania music conservatory, which was the only institution of its kind in norway until 1905. lindeman's wife, the pianist and composer anna severine lindeman, also taught at the school. after lindeman's death in 1930, his son, the cellist trygve lindeman (1896–1979), headed the school. lindeman composed many musical works, and also wrote textbooks. he founded the norwegian organists' association in 1904 together with his brother, the organist kristian lindeman (1870–1934), and others. lindeman headed the organization several times and was the editor of and a regular columnist in the association's newsletter, "musikbladet" (music magazine), published from 1908 to 1921. nathan t. smith (born august 16, 1978) is an american amateur golfer. smith won the u.s. mid-amateur four times (2003, 2009, 2010, 2012), the sunnehanna amateur (2011), the pennsylvania amateur twice (2002, 2009), the west penn amateur four times (2007–10), and the r. jay sigel match play three times (2011, 2013, 2015). he also won the inaugural u.s. amateur four-ball, with todd white, in 2015. smith played in three consecutive walker cups (2009, 2011, 2013). smith has played in five major championships (four masters and one u.s. open) but missed the cut in each of them. he came within one shot of making the cut at the 2004 masters tournament, but had a double-bogey on the 36th and final hole. cut = missed the half-way cut jean-baptiste andré isidore ruault de la bonnerie (4 february 1744 – 13 april 1817) became a french general officer early in the war of the first coalition and later emigrated to habsburg austria under which he also was a general. he joined the french royal army in 1760 and became a general of brigade in 1792. he commanded the french defenders during the 1792 siege of lille. after fighting at maastricht and neerwinden he followed charles françois dumouriez and other generals in defecting to austria. he entered habsburg service as a colonel and became a general-major in 1804. he died in 1817 at graz. sandi darma sute (born on september 21, 1992) is an indonesian footballer who currently plays as a defensive midfielder for persija jakarta in the liga 1. bluegrass companies is a non-explosive demolition company headquartered in greenville, alabama. it was founded in 1979 by ceo and owner nicholas jenkins. the business would comprise the sub-companies: demolition technologies, the machine shop, bluegrass concrete cutting inc. and bluegrassbit. bluegrass company have always been headquartered in greenville, alabama though now incorporated in wyoming. the company would become known for the advancement of diamond wire sawing as a technique for non-explosive demolition, later for the creation and patenting of an underwater diamond wire saw, and for assisting the u.s. department of energy with various tests as well as nuclear decommissioning. bluegrass has performed reactor vessel cutting and steam generator replacements at sequoyah, watts bar, browns ferry, waterford nuclear generating station, connecticut yankee, humboldt bay, and big rock point nuclear power plants over the course of the last 30 years. the company has worked for the government of the united states of america: department of energy on their plutonium immobilization project, "after the low pour rate and instrumented canisters cooled, bluegrass bit, inc. used a diamond wire saw to section them at four heights. the sections were then studied for evidence of hardware deformation and glass voids" . this project focused on the finding a way to disposition excess plutonium of a weapons grade classification. the company helped to test using diamond shaving to decontaminate radioactive surfaces. in 1997 bluegrass with the help of the princeton physics laboratory offered a demonstration of how the tftr could be disassembled with diamond wire sawing, “based upon the demonstration at pppl on the tftr surrogate, the diamond wire cutting technology is superior to the baseline technology for both cost and safety considerations. the combination of void filling with this cutting technology will significantly reduce personnel radiation exposure through shielding, remote operation (normal application of this technology), and radionuclide stabilization”. in 2018 bluegrass supported general atomics by cutting a ¼ scale mockup of the iter solenoid constructed by wrapping 288 individual stainless steel bars with copper conductor and coiling the resulting “superconductor” into a ring 3 ft tall x 2 ½ ft wide. the heart of the iter tokamak, a solenoid is used to magnetically confine a plasma of reactive charged particles into a hollow doughnut-shaped container. the ring of stainless steel and copper was segmented into 4 pieces sized for shipment to another facility for analysis. retired ns (nuclear ship) savannah, anchored at baltimore, md, underwent a renovation in 2018 which required cutting into the nuclear containment vessel to gain access to the reactor. bluegrass engineered and fabricated bespoke equipment for the confined space to cut, lift and move the 2 ton containment wall cut blocks. the removal of the cut segments had to all be done in a very confined space mostly by manual labor and an elaborate pulley system designed specifically for this job alone. railway bridge projects include a union pacific railroad over the willamette river in oregon, and a bnsf pivot bridge over bayou des allemandes. highway bridge projects include the dumbarton bridge in california and wisner boulevard bridge in new orleans, la. at the port of los angeles, ca, an underwater wire saw cut berth 29 for removal. on the demolition of the east span of the san francisco-oakland bay bridge in spring 2017, bluegrass cut and segmented the above-water blocks of piers e6, e7, e8, and e10 through e16, then core drilled for rigging and removal all the cut blocks except those on e6. the pier demolition project was authorized by the san francisco bay conservation and development commission in part to mitigate for all the fill associated with construction of the new east span of the bay bridge. projects such as hiwassee dam and fontana dam have been a focus of the company as well, also see their work with tennessee valley authority. with regard to dam remediation and upgrades, slot cutting projects are the company's main focus. it is akin to slicing a concrete dam like a piece of birthday cake. the technique is simple but very difficult, rotate a loop of cable strung with diamond embedded beads through the structure — essentially, like using a loop of fishing line to cut a cake. slot cutting is employed to create expansion joints in dams afflicted with compression stresses due to concrete swelling. alkali aggregate reaction, or aar, is a chemical reaction in concrete created where the aggregate has a high silicon dioxide content. the southeast usa is one such region, and dams in that area require periodic slot cuts to avoid cracking, leakage, and interference with mechanical components such as gates and turbines. the time intervals depend on the aar specifics of each structure, but 10 years is an average. bluegrass participated in the saluda dam remediation project in south carolina, a requirement by the federal energy regulatory commission which involved seismic upgrades to the dam and building a backup dam immediately downstream. bluegrass was contracted to assist with removal of concrete piers and retaining wall to provide access to the penstock towers which supply water to the turbines in the hydroelectric plant. bluegrass diamond wire saws were ideally suited to the job because of the minimal vibration emitted, therefore avoided the potential hazard of vibrating debris into the draft tubes. expansive grout and robotic hammers were also used to break the concrete blocks for removal. as part of planning the orion programme for the journey beyond low earth orbit to destinations such as mars, nasa needed to demolish the existing concrete silos (built to assemble the space shuttle booster rockets) at their michoud assembly facility. this was necessary in order to replace the silos with larger space launch system (sls) core stage assembly towers. the task of removing the existing concrete silos was estimated to take three months. bluegrass was called in to regain schedule for the overall project, eventually completing the demolition of cells b and c in a month. in 2006 bluegrass created an underwater saw and had it patented for its use of hydraulic motors in combination with diamond wire to create a new sawing platform which was operational underwater. the continuous loop, four wheel drive diamond wire saw reduced cut times by providing greater torque and consistent wire grip. these improvements reduced slippage and subsequent wire breaks. since then the patented underwater saw has been used domestically and globally on offshore decommissioning jobs including cutting single- and multi-string conductors, pipelines, seabed umbilicals, pilings, mooring chains, wellheads, risers, slot recovery and jacket lets. on platforms this technology can be applied to perform modifications, maintenance upgrades, to remove crane pedestals, compressors and topsides, and for hurricane remediation. sub-sea saws can be installed by divers while being monitored and powered from a barge or platform, or they can be installed and powered by working class rovs. the robust characteristics of these four wheel drive bespoke underwater wire saws, combined with remote control functionality, makes them suitable to extreme offshore decommissioning conditions such as the north sea. the patent was filed with the advantages being summarized as follows: bluegrass was involved in the arduous post-katrina and -rita cleanup of toppled or damaged offshore production platforms. operating from work vessels chartered by chevron, the cleanup team moved from platform to platform in the gulf of mexico, cutting structural platform members, stringers and caissons underwater and on deck to comply with boem and bsee federal requirements to remove o & g (oil and gas) production debris from the seafloor. examples of application to heavy industry include foundation removals and modifications, chest removals in the pulp and paper industry, brick and refractory removal primarily using robotic hammers, and boiler segmentation. in many industrial plants such as cememt, lime, copper, aluminum, and chemical, the kiln's refractory lining wears out and needs to be replaced, or is compromised by lime buildup which must be removed. for these demolition jobs, remotely operated robotic hammers are used to break up the refractory for removal, and for chipping off lime deposits. the production of wood pulp and paper products requires extensive concrete structures including foundations, walls, raised platforms and kilns. refractory in kilns needs to be replaced periodically. a variety of maintenance, upgrade, retrofit, and replacement projects in this industry calls into service the full array of demolition equipment: core drills and diamond wire saws for cutting concrete bases, walls and foundations, and for releasing and cutting tanks and chests. robotic hammers are able to work in the limited space of kilns to effectively break refractory and lime buildup for removal. the structures, mechanisms and environments of chemical plants and refineries are ideal candidates for the spark-free and vibration-free concrete and metal cutting technologies used by bluegrass. los alamost national laboratories (lanl) technical area 54 contracted bluegrass for assistance with a stockpile cleanup project. the inventory of 84" diameter exotic steel spheres needed to be segmented into sizes suitable for containment and disposal. bluegrass designed a saw to these specifications: it had to make a continuous cut, without stopping, through steel nearly 3" thick, and to avoid creating contaminated slurry it could not be cooled with water, typically wire saws are cooled by water, thus the wire burned out quicker. the 1989-90 soviet cup was cup competition of the soviet union. the winner of the

diya niya () is an assamese romantic drama movie directed by munin barua and produced under pooja motion pictures. music was composed by zubeen garg. it was released on 25 february 2000. "hiya diya niya" was the biggest blockbuster which also helped to revive the assamese film industry that went into down fall. a rich family searches for a husband for their daughter. the father wants his daughter to get married to his friend's son who lives in a village but the mother and daughter prefer an nri boy. the music of "hiya diya niya" was composed by zubeen garg. lyrics were by hemanta dutta, diganta kalita and jimoni choudhury. the singers who lent their voices in this film are zubeen garg, malobika bora, tarali sarma, santa uzir, diganta bharati and debojit chowdhury. the album contains 8 tracks. all the songs were very much popular among the masses. alexios alexis (1692-1786) was a soldier from lassithi plateau on the island of crete. he played a major role in the cretan wars for independence. his father was the nobleman misser alexis (1637 - ? ). alexios led a large and eminent family and some of his descendants reached high ranks in greece and abroad, including nicholas alexios alexis, and the army general ioannis sotiris alexakis. in 1692 alexios was born in the village of potamous. an ottoman turk beat his fifty-five-year-old father almost to death and pursued everyone named alexis. the fortune of the alexis family was confiscated. his two older brothers, manolis and yiannis (aged 22 and 29), retaliated and war began in zenia, a nearby village in lassithi plateau, forcing them to move alexios from potamous to marmaketo to save him from vengeance. years later he regained some of his father's seized estates and that were illegally sold by the turks. the christian villagers that bought the property, returned it to alexios alexis whenever he appeared in their villages. for years, alexios alexis moved from marmaketo to houmeriako, psychro, mirabello, viannos, malia, megalo kastro-heraklion, and elsewhere. on these trips he wore simple clothes to avoid attention. he had only one fellow-traveler who rode on a donkey, while alexios walked ahead of him, incognito. this role-playing was meant to avoid the turks’ attention and to pass unnoticed. his walking journeys and mountain hikes had another purpose. with other prominent cretans he planned crete's revolutionary uprising against the ottoman tyranny. the name alexis was considered a byzantine name which was deemed to be a link between hellenism and byzantine culture; his father had, in lassithi and elsewhere, estates such as orchards and hereditary fiefs from the byzantine period (961-1204), most of which were given to the prefectures. he donated a byzantine feudal estate in viannos to host a resort in crete. byzantine nobleman alexis kallergis and his family (formerly the phokas family) used lassithi as a base during the cretan revolutions of 1283 and 1364. according to tradition, the alexis family had an affinity with the cretan callergi or (kallergi) family, which had many members named alexis and, like other freedom fighters of crete, were patriots people involved with issues and beliefs that benefited their homeland. alexis donated properties to the monastery of agias pelagias and the crystallenias or (croustallenias) monastery. in 1715, alexios married his first wife, who was from kritsa. she bore him three sons and three daughters. she died in 1735. in 1737, he remarried, to chryssie. they had no children. in 1760, at sixty-eight years of age, he married for the third time. his much younger wife was annezina from simi and gave birth to a child named nicholas. this son nicholas alexios alexis (1761-1818), later became a priest in the nearby village of magoulas and father of fourteen children. his first six children were persecuted and forced into exile by the ottomans or moved to other places where they changed names in order to survive. the first son was killed by the turks in farsaro. the others married in kritsa and psychro. they had four sons: marcos settled in farsaro, nicholas in myrtos and later settled in psychro; alexios in karavados and then in psychro; and captain manolis alexis changed his name to manolis kazanis in kritsa. due to his renowned family name and his great age, he was known towards the end of his life in crete and in venice as alexis the elder. his descendants were explorers, scientists and benefactors. his descendants were also fighters during cretan wars for liberty in 1841, 1867, 1878, 1889, 1895 - 1898, 1912, 1914–1918, and 1940–1944. descendants include alexandris n. alexis (1790-1820); alexis of maleviziou was said to be the one who signed on 14/10/1830 the letter for peace sent to la fayette; the warrior chieftain, captain nicholas papadakis-alexis (1860-1913); general ioannis sotiris alexakis (1885-1980) who liberated thessaloniki. alexios’ father, misser alexis, born while crete was part of the venetian republic, is mentioned in historical documents and archives in venice, ca' vendramin calergi library.

first quarter of the 1900s with an approach called "the larkin idea" that transformed the company into a mail-order conglomerate that employed 2,000 people and had annual sales of $28.6 million () in 1920. the company's success allowed them to hire frank lloyd wright to design the iconic larkin administration building which stood as a symbol of larkin prosperity until the company's demise in the 1940s. the larkin company was founded in 1875 as "j. d. larkin, manufacturer of plain and fancy soaps" when john d. larkin sold his interest in his brother-in-law's company j. weller & co. in chicago to set up his own factory in buffalo, new york. his first product was a yellow laundry bar named "sweet home soap." larkin's first salesman was his wife's brother, elbert hubbard, who had also been working for j. weller & co. in chicago as a salesman. the business grew very quickly, and in 1877 larkin bought land on seneca street in buffalo and built his first factory. by 1878, the company was producing 9 different soap products, ranging from "boraxine" soap powder, through a variety of laundry soaps to "jet" harness soap, "oatmeal" toilet soap and glycerine. in 1878, 13-year-old darwin d. martin was hired as a salesman in boston. by 1880, as sales to general stores and other merchants who would buy products in large quantities increased, martin relocated to buffalo and became the first, and at that time the only, hired office-worker of the larkin company, as all office work was done by larkin himself. in 1881, the company initiated door-to-door sales to private residences to complement its mail solicitation to storekeepers. to establish brand identity and keep up with competitors, hubbard inserted a modest premium into every box of soap starting with a color picture of the company's logo. this coincided with the growth of the company's mail-order business and the strategy of gift premiums escalated quickly into larger and more interesting souvenir picture cards than his competitors. from there, larkin and hubbard began experimenting and refining the practice. soon a handkerchief was included with the "pure white" toilet soap and then a bath towel with the purchase of "ocean bath" soap. larkin and hubbard decided to market directly to consumers, and by 1885 had eliminated all middlemen, including their own salesmen. with the money saved on sales commissions, larkin was able to offer better premiums. in 1891, larkin placed its first large wholesale order, $40,000 () worth of piano lamps. the next year it expanded into morris chairs worth $80,000 () and oak dining chairs worth $125,000 (). one of the most popular giveaways was the chatauqua desk. for a $10 order of soap, the customer would receive the soap and the desk, a $10 premium. the idea grabbed the attention of the public, and through further refinement, larkin began offering a variety of both products and premiums. the "combination box", advertised in the 1890s, offered enough soap and toiletry products to last an average family one year. in 1893, the catalog was sent to 1.5 million customers. to meet customer demand as the business grew, larkin found it necessary to manufacture its own goods for the most popular premiums. various subsidiaries were developed including a furniture factory in buffalo to assemble pieces cut in tennessee as well as the establishment of buffalo pottery in 1901 to meet the demand for premiums. the greensburg, pennsylvania glass company produced all of the bottles and related glassware and contracts were negotiated with oneida to furnish plated silverware and the buffalo garment center made men's apparel. the larkin company later recruited housewives, called "larkin secretaries," and neighborhood children to market their products door-to-door, much like avon products are now sold. the larkin secretaries organized "larkin clubs" of ten members that were set up so each month each member of the club would pledge to order $1 worth of larkin goods. one member was then selected at random to receive the $10 premium and the next month the premium would go to another member. the period from 1892 to 1904 saw rapid growth in sales from just under $500,000 () to over $13,000,000 () in 1904. by 1901, larkin was big enough to have its own building at the pan-american exposition. by 1905, the catalog was offering over 115 products, including soaps, toiletries, shampoo, coffee and teas, extracts, cocoa, spices, chocolate, soups, perfumes. by 1912, the larkin catalogue was second only to the sears catalog in variety of products being offered. tremendous amounts of larkin advertising were produced including flyers, magazines, catalogs and brochures. "the larkin idea" was a promotional magazine for the club secretaries that listed new products and marketing strategies and encouraged members to set up "larkin pantries," whole areas in their homes stocked with larkin goods as a way to generate sales from their neighbors. the company promoted home decorating with the "larkin look." by 1920, a home could be completely decorated with larkin goods, from furniture to rugs, silverware, table lamps, curtains, clocks, school supplies, toys, jewelry, clothing, and bibles. branch offices were opened all over the country, including cleveland, pittsburgh, boston, philadelphia, and chicago. by 1925, larkin had approximately 900 catalog items and factories covering sixteen-and-a-half acres and reached peak levels in the late 1920s with over 1,000 products and average yearly sales were $15.5 million and over 4,000 employees. elbert hubbard retired in the 1890s, and went on to found the roycroft artisan community in east aurora, new york, a realization of the arts and crafts movement. he and his second wife, alice moore hubbard, died aboard the rms "lusitania", when it was sunk by a german submarine on may 7, 1915. darwin d. martin became corporate secretary and guided the company through its rise to a corporate institution until his retirement in 1925. he created a unique card ledger system for tracking sales and maintaining accounts which is utilized by many corporations, in various formats, to this day. he was instrumental in frank lloyd wright receiving the commission to design the larkin administration building, his home in buffalo and a summer home called graycliff. john d. larkin died in 1926 at which point john d. larkin jr. took over control of the company. the growth of department stores, the popularity of the automobile and the volatility of the marketplace, especially during the great depression, damaged the larkin company's mail-order business. john d. larkin, jr. attempted to diversify larkin with a chain of retail food markets, gasoline stations, home craft stores, and a department store, but ultimately all efforts were unsuccessful. internal struggles among the next generation of larkin executives and the loss of key executives, precipitated the demise of the company. sales fell from a high of $28.6 million in 1920 to $2 million by 1939. the company was sold in 1941, liquidated in 1942, and the new owners continued a mail-order business until 1962. by 1902, larkin needed a building to consolidate offices scattered throughout all of his factories. martin, and william heath, larkin's brother-in-law and the head of the legal department, suggested frank lloyd wright. larkin consented and wright received his first commercial commission, the larkin administration building which was completed in 1904 and accommodated 1,800 corresponding secretaries, clerks, and executives. the larkin administration building was demolished in 1950. larkin, known for its generous corporate culture, also commissioned wright to design row houses for its workers, which were never built. a large portion of the original larkin manufacturing complex survives today including the larkin terminal warehouse which has been converted to corporate offices and housed the headquarters of first niagara bank, which has been acquired by keybank. the surrounding neighborhood is now called "larkinville" and has been converted into a mixed-use area. this is a list of references to cleveland in popular culture. founded in 1796 near the mouth of the cuyahoga river, cleveland is a city in the u.s. state of ohio and the county seat of cuyahoga county. it is the most populous county in the state, and is located in northeastern ohio on the southern shore of lake erie, approximately west of the pennsylvania border. being a major u.s. city, cleveland has been used as the cite of numerous books, films, music, and television shows; as well as being mentioned or referenced in many others. below is a partial list. reggae is an album by flautist herbie mann recorded in london in 1973 and released on the atlantic label. the allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "despite its title, most of the music on this album is not actually reggae but a mixture of jazz, r&b and pop. flutist herbie mann, guitarists mick taylor and albert lee and keyboardist pat rebillot combine with the eight-piece tommy mccook band to create some spirited and danceable (if a bit dated) music... the results are fun if not all that substantial". hadopyrgus rawhiti is a critically endangered species of freshwater snail native to new zealand. this snail has been found in only one location: a seepage by a waterfall in a stream between hopewell & raetihi, behind double bay, kenepuru sound. the population trend of this snail is currently unknown, but it is considered potentially threatened by habitat destruction. in november 2018 the department of conservation classified "hadopyrgus rawhiti" as nationally critical under the new zealand threat classification system. the species was judged as meeting the criteria for nationally critical threat status as a result of it only being found in one location which was less than 1 ha in size. jammu & kashmir international cricket stadium was a proposed cricket stadium in baljata, jammu & kashmir. chief minister of jammu and kashmir omar abdullah proposed a cricket stadium at bajalta near jammu in 2012 as the site was inspected by jammu & kashmir cricket association for stadium, cricket academy and hostel. in july 2013, jammu and kashmir cricket association mess hampered dream project for construction of international cricket stadium due to lack of interest from the board. jorge luis sartiaguín godoy (born 24 august 1993) in san blas, nayarit, is a mexican footballer who plays as a winger/midfielder for liga mx squad deportivo toluca. sartiaguín started his professional career with deportivo toluca. he has been playing for the reserves since 2007. on 4 april 2014, sartiaguín made his official debut with toluca in a match against the tijuana xoloitzcuintles celebrated in the estadio caliente in tijuana. he score for toluca but the team lost 3-1. liying railway station (; station code: 24710) is a train station on the beijing–kowloon railway in daxing district, beijing. this station has no passenger services since its completion in 2001. beijing–shanghai high-speed railway is parallel to beijing–kowloon railway near this station. the flaming lips with lightning bolt is a collaborative ep by the flaming lips and lightning bolt, released in 2011. the four-track ep includes four tracks ranging in length from six to eleven minutes. the first two tracks are credited to the flaming lips with lightning bolt, while the latter two are credited to lightning bolt with the flaming lips. track listing adapted from allmusic and stereogum. stuff like that there is the fourteenth full-length album by american indie rock band yo la tengo, released in august 2015 by record label matador. on this album, the band revisits the original concept of their 1990 album "fakebook" with a mix of cover songs, "covers" of yo la tengo songs and brand new originals. at metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, "stuff like that there" received an average score of 74, based on 28 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". reviewer mark deming of allmusic commented that "if "stuff like that there" isn't as revelatory as "fakebook", it's a splendid, beguiling album that's perfectly suited for late nights and rainy afternoons, and a welcome reminder of one of the many, many things yo la tengo do so well." in his review for "the guardian", ben thompson asked whether another yo la tengo covers record was really needed and concluded that "[t]he answer to that question appears to be yes." "nme" reviewer noel gardner said that the band had "honed their approach to a point where they can't really sound like anyone except themselves", which he said was "key to the deep likeability" of the record. critic stuart berman of pitchfork said that "taken as a whole, the record stands as a loving portrait of yo la tengo's vast musical and social universe condensed into a small wooden frame. and at a time when the full-album experience is giving way to the almighty playlist, "stuff like that there" handily reasserts yo la tengo's reputation as indie rock’s consummate curators." robert christgau named it the second best album of 2015 in his ballot for "the village voice"s annual pazz & jop critics poll. "something about you" is a song by australian record producer hayden james, it was released on 19 december 2014 via the "teen idols: a future classic compilation". the one-track digital single was released on 22 may 2015 and remixes were released on 21 august 2015. the track was also released in the us via casablanca records. the song was nominated for aria award for best dance release at the aria music awards of 2015, but lost to "you were right" by rüfüs. in an interview with mike wass from idolator, james said he wrote the song in two or three hours in 2014, however, the song took weeks to produce. he first played the song to rüfüs and asked for their opinion. he said it is his voice in the chorus and a blend of his and george maple's in the verses. james added "it made sense to me to write a song and not a dance track. i’m way more into soulful stuff. i’m actually making a song and i can get other people to remix it into something crazy if they want." the official music video was released on 27 may 2015. the seneca road company was formed to improve the main road running west from utica, new york, the genesee road, from utica to canandaigua and operate it as a toll road or turnpike. the road was originally laid out in 1794 from baggs square in downtown utica (then old fort schuyler) at the ford of the mohawk river and followed the indian trail past syracuse to canandaigua. some accounts say it went to geneva and avon originally. there was no city of city of syracuse then. the road became known as the seneca turnpike, which was long and, at the time, the longest toll road in the state. on april 1, 1800, the privately held seneca road company received a state charter with a capitalization of $110,000. this was a stock company with prominent local investors including jedediah sanger, benjamin walker, john kirkland, and wilhelmus mynderss. the company received a land grant of a right of way, but the roadway was . the firm was required to clear a road wide of all trees. completed to canandaigua by 1808, it reached buffalo in 1813. other state stipulations were the road quickly led to the building of many hotels and inns along the route and was a catalyst of commerce. toll gates were at intervals. the company was profitable and paid dividends of 10 percent for 30 years. competition from newly constructed railroads in the late 1830s reduced traffic. in 1846, with revenues insufficient to maintain the turnpike, the company concluded it could no longer compete and be profitable. it surrendered its charter back to new york state thus ending the private phase of the seneca turnpike. the company was dissolved and the roadway reverted to a public road. the roadway is still in existence as part of new york state route 5 and is still called the seneca turnpike or old seneca turnpike in some places. fancy bear (also known as apt28 (by mandiant), pawn storm, sofacy group (by kaspersky), sednit, tsar team (by fireeye) and strontium (by microsoft)) is a russian cyber espionage group. cybersecurity firm crowdstrike has said with a medium level of confidence that it is associated with the russian military intelligence agency gru. the uk's foreign and commonwealth office as well as security firms secureworks, threatconnect, and fireeye's mandiant, have also said the group is sponsored by the russian government. in 2018, an indictment by the united states special counsel identified fancy bear as two gru units known as unit 26165 and unit 74455. the name "fancy bear" comes from a coding system security researcher dmitri alperovitch uses to identify hackers. likely operating since the mid-2000s, fancy bear's methods are consistent with the capabilities of state actors. the group targets government, military, and security organizations, especially transcaucasian and nato-aligned states. fancy bear is thought to be responsible for cyber attacks on the german parliament, the french television station tv5monde, the white house, nato, the democratic national committee, the organization for security and co-operation in europe and the campaign of french presidential candidate emmanuel macron. the group promotes the political interests of the russian government, and is known for hacking democratic national committee emails to attempt to influence the outcome of the united states 2016 presidential elections. fancy bear is classified by fireeye as an advanced persistent threat. among other things, it uses zero-day exploits, spear phishing and malware to compromise targets. trend micro designated the actors behind the sofacy malware as operation pawn storm on october 22, 2014. the name was due to the group's use of "two or more connected tools/tactics to attack a specific target similar to the chess strategy," known as pawn storm. network security firm fireeye released a detailed report on fancy bear in october 2014. the report designated the group as "advanced persistent threat 28" (apt28) and described how the hacking group used zero-day exploits of the microsoft windows operating system and adobe flash. the report found operational details indicating that the source is a "government sponsor based in moscow". evidence collected by fireeye suggested that fancy bear's malware was compiled primarily in a russian-language build environment and occurred mainly during work hours paralleling moscow's time zone. fireeye director of threat intelligence laura galante referred to the group's activities as "state espionage" and said that targets also include "media or influencers." the name "fancy bear" is derived from the coding system that dmitri alperovitch uses for hacker groups. "bear" indicates that the hackers are from russia. fancy refers to "sofacy", a word in the malware that reminded the analyst who found it, of iggy azalea's song "fancy". fancy bear's targets have included eastern european governments and militaries, the country of georgia and the caucasus, ukraine, security-related organizations such as nato, as well as us defense contractors academi (formerly known as blackwater), science applications international corporation (saic), boeing, lockheed martin, and raytheon. fancy bear has also attacked citizens of the russian federation that are political enemies of the kremlin, including former oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky, and maria alekhina of the band pussy riot. secureworks, a cybersecurity firm headquartered in the united states, concluded that from march 2015 to may 2016, the "fancy bear" target list included not merely the united states democratic national committee, but tens of thousands of foes of putin and the kremlin in the united states, ukraine, russia, georgia, and syria. only a handful of republicans were targeted, however. an ap analysis of 4,700 email accounts that had been attacked by fancy bear concluded that no country other than russia would be interested in hacking so many very different targets that seemed to have nothing else in common other than their being of interest to the russian government. fancy bear also seems to try to influence political events in order for friends or allies of the russian government to gain power. in 2011-2012, fancy bear's first-stage malware was the "sofacy" or sourface implant. during 2013, fancy bear added more tools and backdoors, including chopstick, coreshell, jhuhugit, and advstoreshell. from mid-2014 until the fall of 2017, fancy bear targeted numerous journalists in the united states, ukraine, russia, moldova, the baltics, and other countries that had provided articles discrediting putin and the kremlin. according to the ap and secureworks, this group of journalists is the third largest group targeted by fancy bear after diplomatic personnel and u.s. democrats. fancy bear's targeted list includes adrian chen, the armenian journalist maria titizian, eliot higgins at bellingcat, ellen barry and at least 50 other "new york times" reporters, at least 50 foreign correspondents based in moscow who worked for independent news outlets, josh rogin, a "washington post" columnist, shane harris, a "daily beast" writer who in 2015 covered intelligence issues, michael weiss, a cnn security analyst, jamie kirchick with the brookings institution, 30 media targets in ukraine, many at the kyiv post, reporters who covered the russian-backed war in eastern ukraine, as well as in russia where the majority of journalists targeted by the hackers worked for independent news (e.g. "novaya gazeta" or "vedomosti") such as at and mainstream russian journalists tina kandelaki, ksenia sobchak, and the russian television anchor , all of which worked for dozhd. fancy bear is thought to have been responsible for a six-month-long cyber-attack on the german parliament that began in december 2014. the group is also suspected to be behind a spear phishing attack in august 2016 on members of the bundestag and multiple political parties such as linken-faction leader sahra wagenknecht, junge union and the cdu of saarland. authorities feared that sensitive information could be gathered by hackers to later manipulate the public ahead of elections such as germany's next federal election which was due in september 2017. five wives of u.s. military personnel received death threats from a hacker group calling itself "cybercaliphate", claiming to be an islamic state affiliate, on february 10, 2015. this was later discovered to have been a false flag attack by fancy bear, when the victims' email addresses were found to have been in the fancy bear phishing target list. russian social media trolls have also been known to hype and rumor monger the threat of potential islamic state terror attacks on u.s. soil in order to sow fear and political tension. on april 8, 2015, french television network tv5monde was the victim of a cyber-attack by a hacker group calling itself "cybercaliphate" and claiming to have ties to the terrorist organization islamic state of iraq and the levant (isil). french investigators later discounted the theory that militant islamists were behind the cyber-attack, instead suspecting the involvement of fancy bear. hackers breached the network's internal systems, possibly aided by passwords openly broadcast by tv5, overriding the broadcast programming of the company's 12 channels for over three hours. service was only partially restored in the early hours of the following morning and normal broadcasting services were disrupted late into april 9. various computerised internal administrative and support systems including e-mail were also still shut down or otherwise inaccessible due to the attack. the hackers also hijacked tv5monde's facebook and twitter pages to post the personal information of relatives of french soldiers participating in actions against isis, along with messages critical of president françois hollande, arguing that the january 2015 terrorist attacks were "gifts" for his "unforgivable mistake" of partaking in conflicts that "[serve] no purpose". the director-general of tv5monde, yves bigot, later said that the attack nearly destroyed the company; if it had taken longer to restore broadcasting, satellite distribution channels would have been likely to cancel their contracts. the attack was designed to be destructive, both of equipment and of the company itself, rather than for propaganda or espionage, as had been the case for most other cyber-attacks. the attack was carefully planned; the first known penetration of the network was on january 23, 2015. the attackers then carried out reconnaissance of tv5monde to understand the way in which it broadcast its signals, and constructed bespoke malicious software to corrupt and destroy the internet-connected hardware that controlled the tv station's operations, such as the encoder systems. they used seven different points of entry, not all part of tv5monde or even in france—one was a company based in the netherlands that supplied the remote controlled cameras used in tv5's studios. between february 16 and march 25 the attackers collected data on tv5 internal platforms, including its it internal wiki, and verified that login credentials were still valid. during the attack, the hackers ran a series of commands extracted from tacacs logs to erase the firmware from switches and routers. although the attack purported to be from is, france's cyber-agency told bigot to say only that the messages "claimed to be" from is. he was later told that evidence had been found that the attackers were the apt 28 group of russian hackers. no reason was found for the targeting of tv5monde, and the source of the order to attack, and funding for it, is not known. it has been speculated that it was probably an attempt to test forms of cyber-weaponry. the cost was estimated at €5m ($5.6m; £4.5m) in the first year, followed by recurring annual cost of over €3m ($3.4m; £2.7m) for new protection. the company's way of working had to change, with authentication of email, checking of flash drives before insertion, and so on, at significant detriment to efficiency for a news media company that must move information. security firm root9b released a report on fancy bear in may 2015 announcing its discovery of a targeted spear phishing attack aimed at financial institutions. the report listed international banking institutions that were targeted, including the united bank for africa, bank of america, td bank, and uae bank. according to the root9b, preparations for the attacks started in june 2014 and the malware used "bore specific signatures that have historically been unique to only one organization, sofacy." security journalist brian krebs questioned the accuracy of root9b's claims, postulating that the attacks had actually originated from nigerian phishers. in june 2015 well respected security researcher claudio guarnieri published a report based on his own investigation of a concurrent sofacy attributed exploit against the german bundestag and credited root9b with having reported, "the same ip address used as command & control server in the attack against bundestag (176.31.112.10)", and went on to say that based on his examination of the bundestag attack, "at least some" indicators contained within root9b's report appeared accurate, including a comparison of the hash of the malware sample from both incidents. root9b later published a technical report comparing claudio's analysis of sofacy attributed malware to their own sample, adding to the veracity of their original report. in august 2015, fancy bear used a zero-day exploit of java, spoofing the electronic frontier foundation and launching attacks on the white house and nato. the hackers used a spear phishing attack, directing emails to the false url electronicfrontierfoundation.org. in august 2016, the world anti-doping agency reported the receipt of phishing emails sent to users of its database claiming to be official wada communications requesting their login details. after reviewing the two domains provided by wada, it was found that the websites' registration and hosting information were consistent with the russian hacking group fancy bear. according to wada, some of the data the hackers released had been forged. due to evidence of widespread doping by russian athletes, wada recommended that russian athletes be barred from participating in the 2016 rio olympics and paralympics. analysts said they believed the hack was in part an act of retaliation against whistleblowing russian athlete yuliya stepanova, whose personal information was released in the breach. in august 2016, wada revealed that their systems had been breached, explaining that hackers from fancy bear had used an international olympic committee (ioc)-created account to gain access to their anti-doping administration and management system (adams) database. the hackers then used the website fancybear.net to leak what they said were the olympic drug testing files of several athletes who had received therapeutic use exemptions, including gymnast simone biles, tennis players venus and serena williams and basketball player elena delle donne. the hackers honed in on athletes who had been granted exemptions by wada for various reasons. subsequent leaks included athletes from many other countries. eliot higgins and other journalists associated with bellingcat, a group researching the shoot down of malaysia airlines flight 17 over ukraine, were targeted by numerous spearphishing emails. the messages were fake gmail security notices with bit.ly and tinycc shortened urls. according to threatconnect, some of the phishing emails had originated from servers that fancy bear had used in previous attacks elsewhere. bellingcat is best known for having accused russia of being culpable for the shoot down of mh17, and is frequently derided in the russian media. the group targeted the dutch safety board, the body conducting the official investigation into the crash, before and after the release of the board's final report. they set up fake sftp and vpn servers to mimic the board's own servers, likely for the purpose of spearphishing usernames and passwords. a spokesman for the dsb said the attacks were not successful. fancy bear carried out spear phishing attacks on email addresses associated with the democratic national committee in the first quarter of 2016. on march 10, phishing emails that were mainly directed at old email addresses of 2008 democratic campaign staffers began to arrive. one of these accounts may have yielded up to date contact lists. the next day, phishing attacks expanded to the non-public email addresses of high level democratic party officials. hillaryclinton.com addresses were attacked, but required two factor authentication for access. the attack redirected towards gmail accounts on march 19. podesta's gmail account was breached the same day, with 50,000 emails stolen. the phishing attacks intensified in april, although the hackers seemed to become suddenly inactive for the day on april 15, which in russia was a holiday in honor of the military's electronic warfare services. the malware used in the attack sent stolen data to the same servers that were used for the group's 2015 attack on the german parliament. on june 14, crowdstrike released a report publicizing the dnc hack and identifying fancy bear as the culprits. an online persona, guccifer 2.0, then appeared, claiming sole credit for the breach. another sophisticated hacking group attributed to the russian federation, nicknamed cozy bear, was also present in the dnc's servers at the same time. however the two groups each appeared to be unaware of the other, as each independently stole the same passwords and otherwise duplicated their efforts. cozy bear appears to be a different agency, one more interested in traditional long-term espionage. a crowdstrike forensic team determined that while cozy bear had been on the dnc's network for over a year, fancy bear had only been there a few weeks. according to crowdstrike from 2014 to 2016, the group used android malware to target the ukrainian army's rocket forces and artillery. they distributed an infected version of an android app whose original purpose was to control targeting data for the d-30 howitzer artillery. the app, used by ukrainian officers, was loaded with the x-agent spyware and posted online on military forums. crowdstrike initially claimed that more than 80% of ukrainian d-30 howitzers were destroyed in the war, the highest percentage loss of any artillery pieces in the army (a percentage that had never been previously reported and would mean the loss of nearly the entire arsenal of the biggest artillery piece of the ukrainian armed forces). according to the ukrainian army crowdstrike's numbers were incorrect and that losses in artillery weapons "were way below those reported" and that these losses "have nothing to do with the stated cause". crowdstrike has since revised this report after the international institute for strategic studies (iiss) disavowed its original report, claiming that the malware hacks resulted in losses of 15–20% rather than their original figure of 80%. on october 31, 2016, google's threat analysis group revealed a zero-day vulnerability in most microsoft windows versions that is the subject of active malware attacks. on november 1, 2016, microsoft executive vice president of the windows and devices group terry myerson posted to microsoft's threat research & response blog, acknowledging the vulnerability and explaining that a "low-volume spear-phishing campaign" targeting specific users had utilized "two zero-day vulnerabilities in adobe flash and the down-level windows kernel." microsoft pointed to fancy bear as the threat actor, referring to the group by their in-house code name "strontium". in february 2017, the general intelligence and security service (aivd) of the netherlands revealed that fancy bear and cozy bear had made several attempts to hack into dutch ministries, including the ministry of general affairs, over the previous six months. rob bertholee, head of the aivd, said on "eenvandaag" that the hackers were russian and had tried to gain access to secret government documents. in a briefing to parliament, dutch minister of the interior and kingdom relations ronald plasterk announced that votes for the dutch general election in march 2017 would be counted by hand. the officials of international association of athletics federations (iaaf) stated in april 2017 that its servers had been hacked by the "fancy bear" group. the attack was detected by cybersecurity firm context information security which identified that an unauthorised remote access to iaaf's servers had taken place on february 21. iaaf stated that the hackers had accessed the "therapeutic use exemption" applications, needed to use medications prohibited by wada. researchers from trend micro in 2017 released a report outlining attempts by fancy bear to target groups related to the election campaigns of emmanuel macron and angela merkel. according to the report, they targeted the macron campaign with phishing and attempting to install malware on their site. french government cybersecurity agency anssi confirmed these attacks took place, but could not confirm apt28's responsibility. the apt group did not target marine le pen, further showing russia's involvement in the french elections, since putin has expressed his interest and hopes in marine le pen's victory for both political and financial gains. the report says they then targeted the german konrad adenauer foundation and friedrich ebert foundation, groups that are associated with angela merkel's christian democratic union and opposition social democratic party, respectively. fancy bear set up fake email servers in late 2016 to send phishing emails with links to malware. on january 10, 2018, the "fancy bears hack team" online persona leaked what appeared to be stolen international olympic committee (ioc) and u.s. olympic committee emails, dated from late 2016 to early 2017, were leaked in apparent retaliation for the ioc's banning of russian athletes from the 2018 winter olympics as a sanction for russia's systematic doping program. the attack resembles the earlier world anti-doping agency (wada) leaks. it is not known whether the emails are fully authentic, because of fancy bear's history of salting stolen emails with disinformation. the mode of attack was also not known, but was probably phishing. cyber security experts have also claimed that attacks also appear to have been targeting the professional sports drug test bottling company known as the berlinger group. the swedish sports confederation reported fancy bear was responsible for an attack on its computers, targeting records of athletes' doping tests. the software company microsoft reported in august 2018 that the group had attempted to steal data from political organizations such as the international republican institute and the hudson institute think tanks. the attacks were thwarted when microsoft security staff won control of six net domains. in its announcement microsoft advised that "we currently have no evidence these domains were used in any successful attacks before the dcu transferred control of them, nor do we have evidence to indicate the identity of the ultimate targets of any planned attack involving these domains". according to the august 2018 report by the associated press, fancy bear had been for years targeting the email correspondence of the officials of the ecumenical patriarchate of constantinople headed by the ecumenical patriarch bartholomew i. the publication appeared at a time of heightened tensions between the ecumenical patriarchate, the seniormost of all the eastern orthodox churches, and the russian orthodox church (the moscow patriarchate) over the issue of the full ecclesiastical independence (autocephaly) for the orthodox church in ukraine, sought after by the ukrainian government. the publication cited experts as saying that the grant of autocephaly to the church in ukraine would erode the power and prestige of the moscow patriarchate and would undermine its claims of transnational jurisdiction. cyber attacks also targeted orthodox christians in other countries as well as muslims, jews and catholics in the united states, ummah, an umbrella group for ukrainian muslims, the papal nuncio in kiev and yosyp zisels, who directs ukraine's association of jewish organizations and communities. in october 2018, an indictment by a u.s. federal grand jury of seven russian men, all gru officers, in relation to the attacks was unsealed. the indictment states that from december 2014 until a least may 2018, the gru officers conspired to conduct "persistent and sophisticated computer intrusions affecting u.s. persons, corporate entities, international organizations, and their respective employees located around the world, based on their strategic interest to the russian government." the u.s. department of justice stated that the conspiracy, among other goals, aimed "to publicize stolen information as part of an influence and disinformation campaign designed to undermine, retaliate against, and otherwise delegitimize" the efforts of the world anti-doping agency, an international anti-doping organization that had published the mclaren report, a report that exposed extensive doping of russian athletes sponsored by the russian government. the defendants were charged with computer hacking, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering. in february 2019, microsoft announced that it had detected spear-phishing attacks from apt28, aimed at employees of the german marshall fund, aspen institute germany, and the german council on foreign relations. hackers from the group purportedly sent phishing e-mails to 104 email addresses across europe in an attempt to gain access to employer credentials and infect sites with malware. fancy bear employs advanced methods consistent with the capabilities of state actors. they use spear phishing emails, malware drop websites disguised as news sources, and zero-day vulnerabilities. one cybersecurity research group noted their use of no less than six different zero-day exploits in 2015, a considerable technical feat that would require large numbers of programmers seeking out previously unknown vulnerabilities in top of the line commercial software. this is a sign that fancy bear is a state-run program and not a gang or a lone hacker. one of fancy bear's preferred targets is web-based email services. a typical compromise will consist of web-based email users receiving an email urgently requesting that they change their passwords to avoid being hacked. the email will contain a link to a spoof website that is designed to mimic a real webmail interface, users will attempt to login and their credentials will be stolen. the url is often obscured as a shortened bit.ly link in order to get past spam filters. fancy bear sends these phishing emails primarily on mondays and fridays. they also send emails purportedly containing links to news items, but instead linking to malware drop sites that install toolkits onto the target's computer. fancy bear also registers domains that resemble legitimate websites, then create a spoof of the site to steal credentials from their victims. fancy bear has been known to relay its command traffic through proxy networks of victims that it has previously compromised. software that fancy bear has used includes advstoreshell, chopstick, jhuhugit, and xtunnel. fancy bear utilises a number of implants, including foozer, winids, x-agent, x-tunnel, sofacy, and downrange droppers. based on compile times, fireeye concluded that fancy bear has consistently updated their malware since 2007. to avert detection, fancy bear returns to the environment to switch their implants, changes its command and control channels, and modifies its persistent methods. the threat group implements counter-analysis techniques to obfuscate their code. they add junk data to encoded strings, making decoding difficult without the junk removal algorithm. fancy bear takes measures to prevent forensic analysis of its hacks, resetting the timestamps on files and periodically clearing the event logs. according to an indictment by the united states special counsel, x-agent was "developed, customized, and monitored" by gru lieutenant captain nikolay yuryevich kozachek. fancy bear has been known to tailor implants for target environments, for instance reconfiguring them to use local email servers. in august 2015, kaspersky lab detected and blocked a version of the advstoreshell implant that had been used to target defense contractors. an hour and a half following the block, fancy bear actors had compiled and delivered a new backdoor for the implant. unit 26165 was involved in the design of the curriculum at several moscow public schools, including school 1101. fancy bear sometimes creates online personas to sow disinformation, deflect blame, and create plausible deniability for their activities. an online persona that first appeared and claimed responsibility for the dnc hacks the same day the story broke that fancy bear was responsible. guccifer 2.0 claims to be a romanian hacker, but when interviewed by "motherboard" magazine, they were asked questions in romanian and appeared to be unable to speak the language. some documents they have released appear to be forgeries cobbled together from material from previous hacks and publicly available information, then salted with disinformation. a website created to leak documents taken in the wada and iaaf attacks was fronted with a brief manifesto dated september 13, 2016, proclaiming that the site is owned by "fancy bears' hack team", which it said is an "international hack team" who "stand for fair play and clean sport". the site took responsibility for hacking wada and promised that it would provide "sensational proof of famous athletes taking doping substances", beginning with the us olympic team, which it said "disgraced its name by tainted victories". wada said some of the documents leaked under this name were forgeries, and that data had been changed. a twitter account named "anonymous poland" (@anpoland) claimed responsibility for the attack on the world anti-doping agency and released data stolen from the court of arbitration for sport, a secondary target. threatconnect supports the view that anonymous poland is a sockpuppet of fancy bear, noting the change from a historical focus on internal politics. a screen capture video uploaded by anonymous poland shows an account with polish language settings, but their browser history showed that they had made searches in google.ru (russia) and google.com (us), but not in google.pl (poland). https://apt.securelist.com/#!/threat/1012 kaspersky lab report the 2015 mediterranean beach games was the first edition of the mediterranean beach

queensland, australia. it is listed on the brisbane heritage register. the hotel site totals 924 square metres and consists of two levels, incorporating six bars throughout the venue, lounge, deck, pool room, beer garden and gaming room. the victory hotel is heritage listed, and is the oldest surviving hotel in brisbane's cbd having been constructed in 1855. the hotel was previously known as the prince of wales hotel and has been altered since that time, including the removal of its verandahs, but retains the main characteristics of a nineteenth century hotel, such as its prominent corner location. the hotel was acquired by precision group for $22 million in 2005 from vh partnership, and is occupied on a long term lease with the australian leisure and hospitality group (alh). on 27 july 2008 the hotel was extensively damaged by fire, but was rebuilt to be close to its original form and opened again on 9 march 2009. enrico pazzi (20 june 1818 – 27 march 1899) was an italian sculptor, mainly active in florence, italy. he is known for his "monument to dante" (1857-1865) in the piazza santa croce, florence, and for the prince mihailo monument in the center of serbian capital city belgrade. in 1833, he enrolled in the institute of fine arts of ravenna, his birthplace, under ignazio sarti. he was fired after an angry outburst where he destroyed one of his incomplete works at the eve of the yearly exhibition. with the help of the cardinal legate of the city, luigi amat, he was readmitted to the academy. with a stipend from the academy, he moved to florence and worked under the mentorship (1845-1851) of giovanni duprè. enrico opened a studio on via dei maccheroni with fellow artist from ravenna, luigi majoli. in the early 1850s, a project for a statue of dante for a piazza in ravenna was declined. pazzi subsisted on small private projects for tomb monuments and house decorations. he completed for dupre a commission for a nativity scene, destined for the signora bianchi of siena, however, had difficulty getting paid. in the 1857-59, a move was made to complete the dante statue, but now for florence. the patriotic pazzi recalls an unfortunate episode when the prince leopold, count of syracuse (brother of the king of naples) visited the studio accompanied by the interior minister of the grand duke, leopold ii. the visiting prince inquired why dante was surrounded by beasts. pazzi indicated the lions were the "marzocchi", long a symbol of medici florence. however, when asked why the eagle did not have a double head, the symbol of the habsburg dynasty, pazzi impertinently replied that this was a roman eagle, arising from the ashes of the fallen roman empire. with this, the retinue left. pazzi's statue would take nearly half a decade to rise in the piazza. pazzi's monument to savonarola would also have a tortuous and controversial route to finding a home in florence. christian tabó (born 23 november 1993), is an uruguayan footballer who plays for liga mx team club puebla on loan from club atlas. tabó started his professional career with racing club de montevideo. on 29 january 2015 he was loaned to club nacional, where he obtain the league title. on june 25, atlas officially announced the permanent transfer of the uruguayan player. on thursday november 24 tabo made his first goal with atlas in the first leg of the apertura 2018 quarter finals against monterrey beáta krzyzewsky (born 28 august 1976 in budapest) is a hungarian sport shooter. she has been selected to compete for hungary in rifle shooting at the 2004 summer olympics, and has won a gold medal in small-bore rifle prone at the 2007 european championships in granada, spain. krzyzewsky trains for the angyalföldi civilian rifle association in budapest under her longtime coach györgy slita. krzyzewsky qualified for the hungarian team in women's rifle shooting at the 2004 summer olympics in athens. she managed to get a minimum qualifying standard of 583 in small-bore rifle three positions to join with fellow markswoman and four-time olympian éva joó and secure an olympic berth for hungary, following her bronze medal triumph at the issf world cup meet in changwon, south korea a year earlier. in the 10 m air rifle, held on the first day of the games, krzyzewsky fired a modest 387 out of a possible 400 to obtain a thirty-seventh position throughout a 44-shooter field. nearly a week later, in the 50 m rifle 3 positions, krzyzewsky put up another substandard aim to land in thirty-first with a total score of 560 points (a scintillating 195 in prone, 178 in standing and 187 in the kneeling series). in 2007, krzyzewsky showed her most potential form in bouncing back to the range by claiming her first individual gold in the small-bore rifle prone at the european championships in granada, spain, shooting comfortably at 591 points. outside her shooting career, krzyzewsky is a political science graduate at pázmány péter catholic university, and currently works as a professional lawyer. judith a. clapp (born 1930) is a computer scientist who began her career at the massachusetts institute of technology (mit) and subsequently moved to the lincoln laboratory and then to mitre, where she was involved in the semi-automatic ground environment (sage) military project, including the development of the sage computer. clapp was born in 1930 and was raised in long island, new york. she received her bachelor's degree in math and physics in 1951 from smith college and her master's degree in applied science (which she described as the closest match to computer science available at the time) in 1952 from radcliffe college, then a women's affiliate of harvard university. after graduating from radcliffe clapp began work at mit, the only woman among the early programmers of the whirlwind i, the first real-time computer. the whirlwind, a vacuum tube computer, had originally been commissioned by the united states navy but was subsequently financed by the air force for the semi-automatic ground environment (sage) project. clapp continued to work on the project after its transfer to the lincoln laboratory and later to the mitre corporation, eventually becoming a senior principal software systems engineer at mitre. after the sage project clapp continued to work in management at mitre and participated in the department of defense working group that led to the development of the ada programming language. clapp's work is regarded as important groundwork for the development of software engineering as a discipline. she was involved in early professional organizations for women in computing and is recognized as a pioneer among women in the field. clapp received an achievement award from the society of women engineers in 2001. in 2005, she received the smith college medal. myoporum caprarioides, commonly known as slender myoporum, is a plant in the figwort family, scrophulariaceae. it is a shrub with wart-like tubercles covering its branches and leaves, especially on the upper surface and white flowers spotted with mauve, or all blue-mauve, present for most of the warmer months. "myoporum caprarioides" is an erect shrub which grows to a height of and has wart-like tubercles covering its branches and leaves. the leaves are arranged alternately and are flat, not succulent, long and wide. they are elliptic in shape with minute serrations on the edges. the upper surface is shinier and darker than the lower surface which has a raised midrib. the flowers appear singly or in small groups in the axils of the leaves and have 5 sepals and 5 white spotted pink or entirely pink petals joined at their base to form a tube. the tube is long and the lobes are spreading and long. there are 4 stamens which extend beyond the petals. flowering occurs throughout the whole year, apart from the coldest months and is followed by brown fruits which are drupes, in diameter and roughly spherical in shape. "myoporum caprarioides" was first formally described in 1837 by george bentham in stephan endlicher's enumeratio plantarum quas in novae hollandiæ ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium cygnorum et in sinu regis georgii collegit carolus liber baro de hügel. the specific epithet refers to a similarity to the genus "capraria". "myoporum caprarioides" occurs along the coast of western australia from dongara to busselton, often in tuart (eucalyptus gomphocephala) forest but also along watercourses and in winter-wet areas. "myoporum caprarioides" is classified as "not threatened" by the western australian government department of parks and wildlife. harinavi d. v. a. s. high school is a government administrated high school in kolkata, rajpur, india. it is located at 70 harinavi, ashoke nath sastri road, kolkata, 700148, west bengal. the collegiata santo stefano is a late-baroque style, roman catholic church in monte san giusto, province of macerata, region of the marche, italy. the collegiata was built from 1765-1781, using designs of giovanni battista vassalli and pietro augustoni. the chapel of the madonna incoronata, patron of the city along with the saints giusto and tossano, holds a wooden 16th-century statue of the madonna with the infant. one of the chapels holds a "madonna del carmine and saints" painted by sebastiano ricci. another chapel has an altarpiece depicting "saints giusto and tossano and the madonna lauretana" by domenico rozzi. the apse has frescoes depicting the "life and martyrdom of st stephen" (1927) by ciro pavisa. emmanuel king sebareme (born 19 december 1995) is a south african cricketer who made his senior debut for western province during the 2014–15 season. sebareme was born in the democratic republic of the congo to rwandan refugee parents, who had fled the conflict of the mid-1990s. largely traveling on foot, he and his family arrived in south africa when he was five years old, settling in cape town. taking up cricket, sebareme began as a medium-fast bowler, but later switched to bowling off spin. in december 2014, he was selected for western province's under-19 team at khaya majola week (the national under-19 tournament). there, he took 12 wickets at an average of 14.33, equal with namibia's jj smit and behind only northerns' stefan klopper (14 wickets) and border's sithembele langa (13 wickets). in january 2015, sebareme was selected for the cape cobras team at the csa cubs week, an equivalent underage tournament for the south african franchise teams. later in the month, he made his first-class debut for western province in the csa 3-day cup, taking 1/34 and 0/2 from a total of ten overs in the match against north west. he had more success in his next three-day match, taking 2/21 and 0/19 against griqualand west, as well as in his sole limited-overs match to date, taking 1/18 against north west. sebareme was named in western province's squad for the africa t20 cup in september 2015, and went on to make his twenty20 debut in his team's last match of the tournament. outside of playing cricket, he studies economics at the university of the western cape, on a full bursary. mycopathologia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the role of fungi in human and animal disease, i.e., medical and veterinary mycology. the journal was established in 1938 and is currently published by springer link. the current editor-in-chief is vishnu chaturvedi (california department of public health / university of california, berkeley). the journal was initially established by wilhelm junk in the hague as "mycopathologia" () in 1938. then in 1950, it continued publication under the name "mycopathologia & mycologia applicata" (), before returning to "mycopathologia" () in 1975. from 1959 to 1984, a supplement "iconographia mycologica" () was published alongside it. "mycopathologia" is abstracted and indexed in the following databases: opacuincola cervicesmadentes is a critically endangered species of freshwater snail endemic to new zealand. this snail has been found in only one location at the charing cross entrance of wet neck cave, west of mangarakau and collingwood. the population trend of this snail is unknown at present but it is regarded as potentially threatened by habitat destruction, agricultural work and caving pursuits. in november 2018 the department of conservation classified "opacuincola cervicesmadentes" as nationally critical under the new zealand threat classification system. the species was judged as meeting the criteria for nationally critical threat status as a result of it occupying a total area of less than 1 hectare. it is found only in one location and is also classified as data poor under that system. w. "billy" wilson was a college football player. he was a prominent running back and end for coach john heisman's georgia tech yellow jackets of the georgia institute of technology, selected all-southern in 1904. he was captain-elect of 1906. scott alain alexander (born july 10, 1989) is an american professional baseball pitcher for the los angeles dodgers of major league baseball (mlb). he previously played in mlb for the kansas city royals. alexander played little league baseball and attended cardinal newman high school in santa rosa, california, where he was named the north bay league player of the year as a senior. he set the school records for strikeouts in a season and a career and led them to the league championship in 2007. he was drafted by the cincinnati reds in the 37th round of the 2007 major league baseball draft but did not sign and instead attended pepperdine university to play college baseball. he was selected to the all-west coast conference freshman team in 2008 when he was 7–4 with a 4.95 era and struck out 106 batters. he was 4–5 with a 4.11 era as a sophomore, when he was used as both a starter and a reliever. between his two seasons at pepperdine he played for the la crosse loggers of the northwoods league. after the 2009 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the brewster whitecaps of the cape cod baseball league. despite describing his time at pepperdine as a "great experience" he chose to transfer to sonoma state university for his junior season in order to be closer to home and his ill grandmother. with the seawolves, he was 3–6 with a 4.50 era in 13 starts with 70 strikeouts and was named the fourth best prospect in ncaa division ii by pgcrosschecker.com. alexander was then selected by the kansas city royals in the sixth round of the 2010 major league baseball draft and signed with them on june 11, 2010 for a $130,000 signing bonus. he made his professional debut that season with the idaho falls chukars of the pioneer baseball league, where he was 1–6 with a 5.73 era in 12 games (11 starts). he subsequently missed the entire 2011 season due to left shoulder surgery and returned in 2012 to pitch in 10 games (six starts) for the kane county cougars of the midwest league where he had a 2.55 era. alexander moved between three levels in the royals farm system in 2013, with five games for the lexington legends of the south atlantic league, 12 for the wilmington blue rocks of the carolina league and 24 for the northwest arkansas naturals of the texas league. overall, he was 5–1 with a 3.00 era and appeared exclusively out of the bullpen. he did not allow a homerun all season and pitched had the second most innings pitched in the minor leagues (75) without a homer. in 2015 he pitched in 35 games for the naturals and

brothers, all of whom played baseball. his older brother, stu was drafted by the florida marlins in the 29th round of the 2003 major league baseball draft and played in their minor league system until 2009. his younger brother, jason, signed a minor league contract with the los angeles angels in july 2017. lyricism is a quality that expresses deep feelings or emotions in an inspired work of art. lyricism is when art is expressed in a beautiful or imaginative way, or when it has an expressive quality. although the term lyricism is often used in conjunction with art composed of sound alone, it can also apply to all forms of art including performance, architecture, or film. although it is impossible to define beauty, emotion, or imagination in a definitive manner, it is possible to draw upon examples of works that may share those characteristics in both subtle and dramatic ways. the following are some classic examples of lyricism: robert wallace ellis (born 2 april 1929) is a british-born new zealand painter and artist known for paintings that tackle social, cultural and environmental themes. born in northampton, england, on 2 april 1929, ellis studied at northampton school of art from 1944 to 1947, before completing his national service with the photographic unit of raf bomber command between 1947 and 1949. he was awarded a scholarship to attend the royal college of art from 1949 to 1953 graduating with a diploma. ellis moved to new zealand in 1957 to take up a position as lecturer in design at elam school of fine arts. he married elizabeth aroha mountain (ngapuhi, ngati porou) in 1966. the couple have twin daughters, hana and ngarino. and three grand-children, emere, hana, takimoana. they live in auckland, in the house robert helped build in 1969-70. ellis lectured at the yeovil school of art in somerset from 1953 to 1957. after he moved to auckland in 1957 he began teaching at elam school of fine arts. in 1992 he was awarded a personal chair in 1992, and retired as a professor emeritus in 1994. during 1982 he was a visiting professor at ohio state university. ellis served as a council member of the auckland society of arts, and was the foundation president of the new zealand society of industrial designers. he was also a council member, secretary, and president of the new zealand society of sculptors, painters and associates, and was a new zealand delegate to the international art medal federation. in the 2001 new year honours, ellis was appointed an officer of the new zealand order of merit, for services to fine arts. ellis has been described as one of "new zealand's pre-eminent artists" and he has held more than 60 solo exhibitions in new zealand and around the world. his landscape paintings address themes of urbanisation, subdivision and colonisation. auckland art gallery senior curator ron brownson describes ellis's place in modern new zealand art: "as a major figure, ellis' art addresses many cultural issues. his subjects range over tensions between transport and urbanism, contrast ecology with spirituality and look at the on-going nature of māori–pākehā relations." his work was the focus of a major book published by ron sang in 2015, entitled "robert ellis" [see review below]. he continues to produce small works on paper in his studio at home. throughout his career ellis has produced a diverse range of works. they include not only paintings and works on paper, but also stained glass (design of the east wall of the nave in holy trinity cathedral, parnell), tapestry (the largest in the world at the time, and now in the aotea centre, auckland), and medallions. new legends is a 2002 action video game developed by infinite machine, a studio founded by former employees of lucasarts, and published by thq, for the xbox gaming console. it would be the only game released by the developer, as "new legends" was a commercial failure, and infinite machine was unable to secure funds to continue development of their next game, "sam & max plunge through space," also intended to be an xbox exclusive. the game take place entirely in the country of china. the player controls sun soo, a young fighter who is fighting to free china and his kingdom, "soo kingdom," from the villainous armies of xao gon. throughout the game, players will use both melee weapons and firearms in a third–person perspective, while defeating enemies. soo may hold up to two weapons at once, one in each hand, and can control both separately using the console's "x" and "b" buttons. certain locations in the game are based on actual locations in china. "new legends" received mixed reviews upon release, and currently holds a 54.89% on gamerankings (based on 30 reviews) as well as a 56/100 on metacritic (with reviews from 22 critics). gamespot's giancarlo varanini awarded the game a 7/10. varanini criticized the "bland environments", camera issues, lack of replay value and short length, saying his play time clocked in at just over 5 hours. however, he praised the combat, saying "the game's combat system is executed so well that it saves the game from being just another cookie-cutter beat-'em-up". gamepro gave similar points in their review, ultimately saying "new legends could go down as one of the best bad games ever made". tal blevins, reviewing for ign, took issue with the game's camera, uninspired voice acting, poor graphics, a generic soundtrack, and repetitive game. blevins did however praise the weapon variety and plot, ultimately giving "new legends" a 5.5/10. g4 tv gave the game a negative review, calling it "the most graphically inferior xbox title yet", also criticizing bland level design and lack of puzzle, but did say the combat is entertaining and the controls are tight. jamestown canyon encephalitis is an infectious disease caused by the jamestown canyon virus, an orthobunyavirus of the california serogroup. it is mainly spread during the summer by different mosquito species in the united states and canada. the virus is one of a group of mosquito-borne or arthropod-borne viruses, also called arboviruses, that can cause fever and meningitis or meningoencephalitis, mostly in adults. jamestown canyon virus disease is relatively rare; in the united states, the cdc found only 31 disease cases from 2000 to 2013, but it is likely under-recognized and probably endemic throughout most of the united states. about 2 days to 2 weeks after the bite of an infected mosquito, disease symptoms of a nonspecific summertime illness with sore throat, runny nose and cough, followed by fever, headache, nausea and vomiting can develop. neuroinvasive disease occurs in two thirds of reported cases and is characterized by severe headache and neck stiffness as in meningitis or increasing lethargy and altered mental status up to coma as in meningoencephalitis. no acute flaccid paralysis, no death and no acquisition from a blood transfusion has ever been reported. the jamestown canyon virus is an orthobunyavirus and was first isolated in 1961 from culiseta mosquitoes in jamestown, colorado. since then it has been found in aedes, coquillettidia perturbans, culex, culiseta and ochlerotatus species in northern states of the mainland us, in various mammals throughout mainland north america, and identified in humans throughout the united states. the virus is transmitted in saliva to a vertebrate host when an infected mosquito takes a blood meal. it thus cycles between mosquito and vertebrate amplifier hosts, mainly white-tailed deer. in a study from newfoundland, jcv was significantly associated with large mammals such as sheep, cattle and horses. in michigan and ontario moose and bison are believed to be the primary reservoir. the virus winters in mosquito eggs, which it reaches by transovarial transmission. the female mosquito lays eggs that carry the virus, and the offspring can transmit the virus to deer or ruminants and humans. infected mosquitoes were found equally distributed throughout the state of connecticut, irrespective of land use. the full genome has been sequenced. the authors found a relatively high level of amino acid sequence conservation from viruses isolated 57 years apart "indicating that the virus is in relative evolutionary stasis". they also found jcv to be genetically similar to inkoo virus in northern europe (finland, sweden), "suggesting that much of the northern hemisphere contains jcv or similar variants". the negative sense rna genome is in three segments. the l segment encodes the l endonuclease (an rna-dependent rna polymerase enzyme) for genome replication and mrna synthesis. the m segment encodes a polyprotein, further cleaved in the gn and gc surface glycoproteins for attachment and the nsm nonstructural protein that influences virulence. the s segment encodes the nss protein for immune suppression and virulence, and the n structural nucleocapsid protein. the centers for disease control and prevention considers a person with jcv infection laboratory-confirmed if: jcv isolated from or jcv-specific antigen or genomic sequences detected in tissue, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or other body fluids; 2) equal or more than 4-fold change in jcv-specific neutralizing antibody titers between acute and convalescent samples; or 3) jcv or lacv igm antibodies in serum with jcv-specific neutralizing antibodies equal or more than 4-fold higher than lacv-specific neutralizing antibody titers in the same specimen or a later specimen. jcv-antibody testing has only been available at the cdc and the new york state department of health. the cdc has used plaque reduction neutralization tests to detect jcv neutralizing antibodies since 1995. the test is automatically done on all samples testing positive or equivocal for la crosse virus igm antibodies by elisa. in 2010 cdc developed an elisa also for jcv igm . similarly, the new york state department of health has performed jcv plaque reduction neutralization tests since 2000 on samples positive for california serogroup igg antibodies. it does the latter by an immunofluorescence assay. prior to the 1990s, the only tests for california serogroup virus infections performed by most state diagnostic laboratories were complement-fixation test and hemagglutination inhibition tests with la crosse virus, but these failed to detect antibody to jamestown canyon virus. besides la crosse virus, other arboviruses producing similar disease in a similar geographic location include first and foremost west nile virus, powassan virus, eastern equine encephalitis virus, saint louis encephalitis and western equine encephalitis virus, the latter two not being reportable to cdc. for 2013, cdc reported that of 22 jcv disease cases, 15 (68%) were neuroinvasive, which is a slightly higher percentage than for west nile virus (51%), but less common than for the other arboviruses, with la crosse virus being 91%, eastern equine encephalitis virus 100% and powassan virus 80% neuroinvasive. no specific therapy exists for arboviral infections; treatment is limited to supportive care and managing complications, such as relieving increased intracranial pressure. preventing and decreasing the morbidity from jcv disease depends on control of the mosquito vectors and personal protection to reduce mosquito bites. the niaid reported in 2012, that it had constructed a candidate virus for a live attenuated virus vaccine. since 2004, the disease must be reported to cdc (passive surveillance, arbonet). jcv has been mostly reported in adults rather than in children (median age 48 years versus 8 years), and is more likely to cause meningitis than encephalitis compared to illness caused by la crosse virus. it also occurs throughout the summer (may until september), or even throughout the year rather than mostly in august, which may be due to the diversity of mosquitoes it can infect. in the latest us review covering 2000–2013, more than half of cases were identified in 2013 alone, the first year the cdc implemented routine jcv igm antibody testing. historically, most cases of encephalitis reported to the cdc occurred in the north of the mainland united states. jcv disease most likely has a broader distribution, but is unidentified and under-reported, because testing is not considered and not straightforward. in 2013, of 10 states reporting cases, eight states reported their first jcv cases: georgia, idaho, massachusetts, minnesota, new hampshire, oregon, pennsylvania, and rhode island. in august 2015, the iowa department of public health confirmed one case of jcv. in july 2017, the maine center for disease control announced what is believed to be maine's first known case. historically disease was reported to occur from late spring through early fall. however, for 2013, dates of illness onset ranged from january through november, with 14 (64%) of the 22 cases occurring during july until september. first light is an album by flautist herbie mann's group the family of mann recorded in 1973 and released on the atlantic label. allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by jim newsome stating: "this album is more laidback than most of the mann catalog from the era, with the rhythmic variations and complementary interplay between the musicians contributing to the feeling of a real band. "first light" is one of the classiest and most unified recordings of herbie mann's long career". defence synergia (ds) is an independent self funding 'british defence and strategy think tank' and was formed by several former directors and policy board members of the united kingdom national defence association (uknda) prior to the 2010 strategic defence and security review (sdsr). they research and investigate uk strategy and defence policy and engage with government and defence analysts on an apolitical, not-for-profit, tri-service basis. ds engages with the house of commons defence committee (hcdc) defence select committee, public administration select committee (pasc), trident commission public accounts committee (pac), the joint committee on the national security strategy (jcnss), the national audit office (nao), strategic defence and security review (sdsr) implementation team, government ministers, former service chiefs, academics, members of parliament across the political spectrum. ds members meet or provide written inputs to inform and influence many of the above on the ds position that without an articulated national strategic narrative (grand strategy) the why, when, where and how questions in respect of uk defence capability, capacity, funding and rationale can never be adequately addressed by her majesty's government. ds also contributes to defence periodicals and with the british media to highlight these issues. wpv may refer to: abigail cheramie duhon (born april 20, 2000) is an american christian musician and actress. she released a studio

she has been selected to compete for australia in small-bore rifle shooting at the 2004 summer olympics, and has yielded a tally of ten medals in a major international competition, spanning the oceanian championships and four editions of the commonwealth games (1994 to 2006). before her retirement in 2006, frazer also became a full-fledged member of melbourne international shooting club, where she trained under the tutelage of john dismore. frazer began shooting at the age of eighteen with the melbourne university rifle society, but achieved prominence internationally in 1994 and 1998, when she finished sixth each in the individual rifle prone, and then shared gold medals with sylvia purdie and carrie quigley respectively in the pairs at the commonwealth games. on her third attempt at manchester 2002, frazer shot a brilliant 588 to successfully capture her first individual commonwealth games gold in the rifle prone on a countback from south africa's esmari van reenen. at the 2004 summer olympics in athens, frazer qualified for her first ever australian team, as a 45-year-old, in the 50 m rifle 3 positions. she managed to beat robyn van nus at the olympic trials in sydney to snatch one of olympic berths that her teammate had claimed from the oceanian championships a year earlier. a less experienced to the sporting event, frazer put up a lackluster feat by marking 192 in prone, a modest 175 in standing, and 184 in the kneeling series to accumulate a total score of 555 points in the qualifying round, closing her out of the final to round off the 33-shooter field with macedonia's divna pešić in a two-way draw. when her native melbourne hosted the 2006 commonwealth games, frazer and her partner susannah smith slipped out of the podium to fourth in the rifle prone pairs at 1160 points, just a single target behind second runner-up new zealand. since retiring from the competition shortly after her fourth commonwealth games, frazer has continued her involvement with shooting both as a coach and an administrator. the cancionero de turin or cancionero musical de turin is a musical manuscript that contains spanish secular polyphonic works from

1924) was a leading south australian cricketer, cricket administrator and educator of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. born in woodville, south australia to thomas caterer, a pioneer adelaide teacher and mayor of kensington and norwood and marina (née mudie), caterer attended norwood grammar, the school founded by his father, and the then newly opened university of adelaide. in 1879, caterer became the first graduate of the university, with a bachelor of arts. friends and well-wishers attempted to attend the graduation ceremony but were banned from doing so. caterer was also a leading south australian sportsman, playing for kensington football club in the south australian football association, as well as serving as its honorary secretary, and playing firstly for kensington cricket club and later for adelaide cricket club. a left arm fast-medium bowler, caterer played his first important, non-first-class cricket match for south australia against a combined "australians" side at the adelaide oval from 6 november 1880, scoring ten and seven and taking 1/8 (one wicket for eight runs) and 1/15. he was not picked for the inaugural inter-colonial match between south australia and victoria played a week later, instead playing for a south australian second eleven against a suburban association xi. caterer continued to bowl well in adelaide district cricket over the following seasons and was chosen in the south australian side to play the australians in adelaide starting 14 march 1884, taking 4/60. in the 1884/85 season, caterer was chosen in a south australian side to play the touring english team led by alfred shaw, taking match figures of 7/109 and impressing the south australian selectors enough to name him in the south australian team to play against victoria at the melbourne cricket ground (mcg). the match, which proved to be caterer's only first-class match, started on 23 january 1885. he took 1/42 and failed to score a run as south australia won by 53 runs. caterer had been involved in sports administration since 1880 when serving as kensington football club's delegate to the south australian football association and chairing its general meetings. he unsuccessfully stood for a position on the south australian cricket association's (saca) ground and finance committee in 1901 before his election to the committee in 1904, serving on the committee until 1913 and 1915 to 1922. in addition to his membership of the ground and finance committee, caterer also served as chairman of the saca cricket committee from 1918-1921 and served as a proxy delegate on the board of control for international cricket. for his service to saca, caterer was elected as a life member in 1923. in 1909, caterer organised for st peter's college to employ english player jack crawford at £160 per year in order for crawford to play for south australia. additionally, caterer served as the chairman of the south australian poultry and dog society. caterer began teaching, first at norwood grammar before moving to st peter's college in 1886. he rose to the position of senior resident master, edited the school's magazine, organised st peter's wwi memorial and was acting headmaster from 1916 to 1919 following the resignation of henry girdlestone. additionally, caterer was elected clerk of the senate of the university of adelaide in 1888, a position he held until july 1922, and he was a member of the university council from 1917 to 1921. caterer suffered a stroke in april 1921 and was invalided. he retired from his position at st peter's college and did not seek re-election to the university council. he retired from his role at the university senate in july 1922 but although he was unable to attend meetings, he did not resign from his saca committee positions. in response, caterer was asked to resign but refused to do so, leading saca to evoke, for the first time, the rule that allowed them to declare a position on the ground and finance committee open. three weeks later caterer was declared an honorary life member. caterer died at his walkerville home in adelaide, survived by two daughters; colleen ringwood, who was living in the northern territory with her husband, and miss brenda caterer of adelaide. st peter's college created the caterer memorial scholarship in his honour. orsonwelles graphicus is a species of linyphiid spider endemic to the big island of hawaii. it was described in 1900 by the french naturalist eugène simon. events from the year 1649 in france opacuincola dulcinella is a critically endangered species of freshwater snail endemic to new zealand. this snail has been found in two caves in very close proximity within a 1 km² area in pohara, takaka . the population trend of this snail is unknown at present but it is regarded as potentially threatened by urban development and groundwater removal and contamination. in november 2018 the department of conservation classified "opacuincola dulcinella" as nationally critical under the new zealand threat classification system. the species was judged as meeting the criteria for nationally critical threat status as a result of it occupying a total area of less than 1 hectare. it is found in what is regarded as one location and is also classified as data poor under the threat classification system. ypsilanti community schools (ycs) is a k-12 school district headquartered in ypsilanti township, michigan. it was formed on july 1, 2013, by the merger of the ypsilanti public school district

islands. it was described in 1900 by the french naturalist eugène simon based on a specimen collected in the 1890s, but has not been collected since, and is presumed extinct. jean dunn may refer to jean dunn (born c. 1934) is a retired british track cyclist. she won bronze medals in the sprint at five consecutive world championships in 1958–1962, behind the soviet riders galina ermolaeva and valentina maximova-pantilova. lolawolf (styled as lolawolf) is an american r&b and electropop duo, formed by actress and singer zoë kravitz and drummer and producer jimmy giannopoulos, based in brooklyn, new york city. the band released the self-titled ep, "lolawolf" in february 2014, a full-length album titled "calm down" in october 2014 followed by ep "every fuckin day" in june 2015. lolawolf is composed of frontwoman kravitz, and drummer and producer jimmy giannopoulos (also of mothxr and pretty good dance moves). kravitz became friends with giannopoulos while living in brooklyn. they began collaborating on music and released the track "wanna have fun" in may 2013. kravitz asked them to join her in los angeles while working on the independent film "the road within", to help take her mind off the difficult role of playing an anorexic. the band began recording tracks at movie producer bruce cohen's home studio in hollywood at night. cohen is kravitz's godfather. actor and drummer raviv ullman was a member from 2013–14. lolawolf debuted at manhattan's mercury lounge in november 2013, and released the self-titled ep, "lolawolf", in february 2014. the band is named after kravitz's half-siblings, lola and nakoa-wolf, children of her mother, lisa bonet and step-father jason momoa. they rejected major label offers to release music with the independent label innit recordings through kobalt label services, letting them retain creative control. lolawolf released their debut album, "calm down", in october 2014, which was recorded in the bahamas and las vegas. rapper asap rocky appeared in the video for the 2014 single, "jimmy franco", and miley cyrus appeared in the video for the single, "bitch". lolawolf opened for lily allen, azealia banks, warpaint, and miley cyrus, on the australian leg of her bangerz tour in late 2014. they released the five-track ep, "every fuckin day", on june 23, 2015. they toured with twin shadow, and performed at austin's south by southwest, the paris afropunk, and philadelphia's made in america music festivals in 2015. in 2016, they appeared at lollapalooza, released the song, "teardrop", featuring miley cyrus, and were currently in the studio recording a follow-up to the ep "every fuckin day", reportedly titled "prom". the song "somewhere" was released in 2010 by northern irish electronic music artist dj mog. singer-songwriter sarah lynn provided vocals on the track as well as co-wrote it. the pair have performed the song live in support of other acts such as fatboy slim, during the artist's visits to belfast. after first receiving popularity on u.k.-related music channels such as bbc radio 1 and cool fm, label nervous records stated that it sought to promote the track in the u.s. the single received commercial success in the u.s., reaching the #1 spot on "billboard's" hot dance airplay chart. the song spent eighteen weeks on the chart in total. referred to by the bbc radio 1 "judge jules" program as an "irish up & comer", he began playing electronic dance music in local events in his hometown of belfast during the early 1990s. he entered and won a few local djing competitions before taking more interest into the studio and production side of things. one of a pair of identical twins, lynn grew up in the killinchy area but later moved to belfast. though strongly interested in music, particularly listening to songs by radiohead and foo fighters, she has stated that struggles with clinical depression and related afflictions such as bipolar disorder have dogged her for years. though lynn felt forced to drop out of her degree course in textile art at the university of ulster school of art, she took up singing, writing songs, and playing guitar as well as working as a volunteer for charity events. she has remarked, "i take lithium which makes my mood more consistent. it does away with the peaks and troughs but it also leaves a bit of emotional numbness." she has also stated that the "last thing i want is for my condition to be a barrier that keeps me back" and she feels optimistic given the popularity of the "somewhere" single. a version of the track was included in the compilation album "the new dance mix usa: in the club" alongside other dance-oriented releases such as "sofi needs a ladder" by deadmau5 and "barbra streisand" by duck sauce. mixed by artist ted the dillinger, the album came out on 15 march 2011. praised by an allmusic review as a "diverse set of populist dance music", the album reached the #8 spot on "billboard's" top electronic albums chart and #19 on the top heatseekers chart. mezőkövesdi kézilabda club is a hungarian handball club from mezőkövesd, that played in the nemzeti bajnokság i, the top level championship in

organisation for the uk construction industry, formed by the september 2015 merger (announced the previous june) of the uk contractors group (ukcg) and the national specialist contractors council (nscc). by bringing together clients, main contractors, trade associations representing over 11,500 specialist contractors, and other organisations committed to industry collaboration, build uk represents in excess of 40% of uk construction. build uk was launched on 1 september 2015, following the merger of the ukcg and the nscc. its initial action plan has five key areas: the image of construction, industry’s skills needs, effective pre-qualification, health and safety performance, and fair payment practices. following carillion's january 2018 liquidation, build uk set out an agenda to reform the construction industry's commercial model, potentially eliminating unfair contract terms, late payment and retentions. established in january 2009, the ukcg succeeded the major contractors group and the national contractors federation which had until that point represented the views of the leading uk contractors. the ukcg represented over 30 contractors operating in the uk. between them (c. 2015), ukcg members accounted for £33 billion of construction turnover - a third of uk construction total output. it was one of two organisations which represented the views of contractors on the strategic forum for construction, along with the construction alliance. ukcg also worked closely with the confederation of british industry (cbi) construction council. the national specialist contractors' council comprised 32 specialist trade associations representing companies involved in planning, design, construction, refurbishment and maintenance of the built environment. the nscc represented these specialist trade organisations on the strategic forum for construction, alongside the specialist engineering contractors group. it was a member of the joint contracts tribunal. build uk has four categories of membership: alliance, clients, contractors and trade associations. "noch'" (ночь, night) is a song by anton rubinstein. it appeared in german as die nacht ("des tages letztes glühen"), a song for 2 voices & piano, op. 48/7. the song became popular, with new english words by sonny miller as "come back my love" (1941), in arrangement by bernard grün (sometimes mis-credited as "green"). root mucilage is made of plant-specific polysaccharides or long chains of sugar molecules. this polysaccharide secretion of root exudate forms a gelatinous substance that sticks to the caps of roots. root mucilage is known to play a role in forming relationships with soil-dwelling life forms. just how this root mucilage is secreted is debated, but there is growing evidence that mucilage derives from ruptured cells. as roots penetrate through the soil, many of the cells surrounding the caps of roots are continually shed and replaced. these ruptured or lysed cells release their component parts, which include the polysaccharides that form root mucilage. these polysaccharides come from the golgi apparatus and plant cell wall, which are rich in plant-specific polysaccharides. unlike animal cells, plant cells have a cell wall that acts as a barrier surrounding the cell providing strength, which supports plants just like a skeleton. this cell wall is used to produce everyday products such as timber, paper, and natural fabrics, including cotton. root mucilage is a part of a wider secrete from plant roots known as root exudate. plant roots secrete a variety of organic molecules into the surrounding soil, such as proteins, enzymes, dna, sugars and amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. this collective secretion is known as root exudate. this root exudate prevents root infection from bacteria and fungi, helps the roots to penetrate through the soil, and can create a micro-climate that is beneficial to the plant. to determine the sugars within root mucilage, monosaccharide analysis and monosaccharide linkage analysis are undertaken. monosaccharide linkage analysis involves methylating the root mucilage, which contains polysaccharides. the root mucilage is hydrolysed using acid to break down the polysaccharides into their monosaccharide components. the subsistent monosaccharides are then reduced to open their rings. the open ring monosaccharides are then acetylated, and separated typically by using gas chromatography, although liquid chromatography is also used. the masses of the monosaccharides are then detected using mass spectrometry. the gas chromatography retention times and the mass spectrometry chromatogram are used to identify how the monosaccharides are linked to form the polysaccharides that make root mucilage. for monosaccharide analysis, which reveals the sugars that make root mucilage, scientists hydrolyse the root mucilage using acid, and put the samples directly through gas chromatography linked to mass spectrometry. several scientists have determined the composition of plant root mucilage using monosaccharide analysis and linkage analysis, showing that maize (zea mays) root mucilage contains high levels of galactose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, and glucose, and lower levels of uronic acid, mannose, fucose, and glucuronic acid. wheat (triticum aestivum) root mucilage also contains high levels of xylose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, and lower levels of rhamnose, glucuronic acid and mannose. cowpea (vigna unguiculata) also contains high levels of arabinose, galactose, glucose, fucose, and xylose, and lower levels of rhamnose, mannose, and glucuronic acid. many other plants have had their root mucilage composition determined using monosaccharide analysis and monosaccharide linkage analysis. with the following monosaccharides determined as well as their linkages, scientists have determined the presence of pectin, arabinogalactan proteins, xyloglucan, arabinan, and xylan, which are plant-specific polysaccharides within the root mucilage of plants. plants use up to 60% of their energy secreting root mucilage, which they generate from photosynthesis that takes place in the leaves. root mucilage plays a role in developing a symbiotic relationship with the soil-dwelling fungi. this important relationship is known to affect 94% of land plants, and benefits plants by increasing water and nutrient uptake from the soil, particularly phosphorus. in return, the fungi receive food in the form of carbohydrates from the plant in the form of broken-down root mucilage. without this relationship, many plants would struggle to gain sufficient water or nutrients. in many forests, mycorrhizae fungi form relationships with most of the plants, and even form connections with other mycorrhizae fungi. this interconnection links small plants to shrubs and trees. this network of plant roots and fungi forms a web of hyphae or root-like branching filaments, and is referred to as the wood wide web. this network of fungi hyphae can shuttle water and nutrients from one part of the forest to another when needed. it can also shuttle carbohydrates throughout the network so that the network is not disrupted by a lack of carbohydrate input. root mucilage also helps soil to stick to roots. the purpose of this is to maintain the plant's contact with the soil so that the plant can regulate the levels of water it can absorb, decrease friction so that roots can penetrate through the soil, and maintain a micro-climate. monken hadley school is a primary school located in monken hadley common (northern of part london borough of barnet). monks founded monken hadley in the 13th century and a school was built by the church of england in partnership with the government in 1832. the common leads to hadley woods which used to be part of enfield chase. royalty hunted here and in 1777 king george iii passed an act of parliament giving the villagers local farming rights. the school badge features the church tower and its 'creset beacon'. manno lake (mannō ike) in mannō, kagawa, japan, is a man-made irrigation reservoir with a reserve capacity of 15.4 million tons. it is vaguely shaped like a human hand. a "yuru" is a water reservoir plug. yuru-nuki ceremony, which is held on annually on june 15 at manno pond, releases water to irrigate fields for the rice-planting season. the worskla forest (на ворскле) is a forest in the belgorod oblast (russia) and part of the (sapowednik) belogorye nature reserve. it stretches on the high right bank of the worskla, between worskla and gotnja. its territory covers . geographically the area belongs to the southern part of the forest-steppe zone. the nature reserve is bordered to the north-east to the village of krasny kutok in the southeast, borisovka in the north and the south and west by the worsklatal. on the left bank of the vorskla, is the village of dubino (landsgemeinde belenkoje). the territory of the forest itself is part of the rural community kryukovo. the western, northwestern and southern edges form the river terraces and slopes of woskla and loknjatal riverss. the highest point in the forest at is located in the northeastern part of the forest. the lowest point () is located in worsklatal. through the forest run numerous small gullies that are called in this region "jar". in the forest there are no springs and watercourses although the forest is quite wet at the beginning of spring, after the snow melts, flowing rivulets at the bottom of canyons. the rivers vorskla, gotnja and loknja flow along the forest edge for a distance of . on the territory of the forest there is no natural pond. only in the protection zone of the nature reserve, in the worsklatalaue, there are small backwaters. in the 20th century, ponds were built in the klosterrunse whose dams broke through snow meltwater. only a pond remained at the top of the gully. the soils of the forest at the vorskla developed on different parent materials, especially on the loam, which is found in the eastern half of the forest. in the northwestern part of the forest, old alluvium sands play a role. they are distributed on the river terraces of gotnja and loknja. at the southern and south-eastern edge of the forest an oligozänischer sandy loam is common parent rock. in some places in the southern part of the forest, a rust-colored clay comes out. the oligozänische sandy loam and the rust-colored clay are the starting materials of soil formation, where erosion has removed the loess. under the oligozänischen clay are rocks from the cretaceous, which do not appear on the surface in the territory of the forest. here 20 different soil types are distinguished. they differ on the degree of podsolisation and the humus content. all floors of the forest on the vorskla are based on the russian soil classification from 1977 about the types of gray forest soils. according to the usda soil classification they belong to the alfi sols, after the german soil classification if they were classified as luvisols. until the 17th century, the worskla forest was a part of an undivided oak forest that stretched along the high right bank of the vorskla river. forest was used as a natural barrier against depredations of the tartars. therefore, logging of the woods was strictly forbidden. at the end of the 17th century, however, the tartar threat had diminished. in the early 18th century the forest was protected from being cut down by regulations of peter i. in 1701, the deforestation along the rivers was banned, then in 1703, the ban was extended to the small rivers. the edict included a ban on grazing and oaks, pines, maples and elms with trunk thicknesses of more than were excluded from felling. in 1705 the forest was owned by count boris sheremetev who created a conservation area and hunting reserve. in 1714 count sheremetev founded a nunnery in borisovka on the edge of the forest, today it is a nature reserve. in the 1880s and 1890s the first major deforestation in the fourth section of the forest and in the northern part of the tenth section the deforestation continued into the 20th century. after the october revolution, the forest on the vorskla was in danger with felling beginning in 1917, with grazing and vegetable gardens being introduced. larger native animals almost disappeared. it fell to the entomologist malyshev to begin a movement to save the forest. he knew the forest at the vorskla from the time before the revolution when as a student he undertook entomological research there. in 1919 he wrote appeals to various authorities. he also appeared in the people's assembly of the residents of borisovka and made propaganda work for forest conservation in schools and village libraries. his efforts were successful, and after the establishment of zoopsychologischen station (in 1922) the forest was made a nature reserve in 1924. malyshev organized the protection of forests. in the nature reserve began scientific research, the nature reserve, the natural history museum was founded. in russian and germany scientific journals first article on the forest at the vorskla were published. however, malyshev was subject to a political witch-hunt under joseph stalin and he was dismissed from his role at the nature reserve and in 1934, malyshev was transported to leningrad. in 1934 the forest was transferred to control of leningrad university. during world war ii, the forest fell under german occupation who felled tens of thousands of trees. during the battle of kursk, trenches were laid out in the forest, causing soil erosion, which can be seen to this day. in 1994, the nature reserve of the university of st. petersburg was handed over to the ministry of natural resources. today an area of , is the only forest with 300-year-old oak trees to have survived in the european part of the former soviet union. events from the year 1654 in france villa tizzoni ottolini is located in the architectural complex of cascina increa, in southeast brugherio, italy. the buildings in cascina increa are considerably, and until a few decades ago consisted of a mansion and adjacent buildings for agricultural use. the lodgings of the farmers, stables, barns and warehouses have consequently been transformed into residential buildings. there was also a park and an italian garden, which have hence disappeared. the villa was used as a holiday resort for the tizzoni, ottolini and robbiani milanese families. villa tizzoni ottolini is built in the architectural style of the eighteenth century. the building has a portico with five arches topped by a wrought iron balcony and two service wings that are slightly lower. the central hall on the ground floor is dominated by a coffered ceiling. the patio leads to a staircase with a balustrade. in 1992, fragments of two eighteenth century frescoes were found in the central room on the first floor of the villa. they are white and blue: one representing an angel in the clouds with a burning torch in his hand, the other showing a mythological scene with a warrior, three women and a winged cherub with a crown in hand. there is also a visible sky fresco depicting mercury. to the left of the villa entrance one can find the church of santa maria immacolata which itself possesses two frescoes: the nativity and the agony of st. joseph. the oslo symposium is a biennial norwegian christian conservative conference, first arranged in 2011. the initiative to the conference was taken by bjarte ystebo and the organisation kristenfolket in cooperation with icej and norge idag, and it has been broadcast live by visjon norge. the conference includes speeches by leading norwegian and international commentators and politicians, including party leaders and government ministers. the third conference, in 2015 for the first time had to be arranged with "massive" police security, due to a general threat evaluation by the norwegian police security service, pointing to the paris and copenhagen terrorist attacks the two preceding months. morgan hicks (born march 22, 1982 in tacoma, washington) is an american sport shooter. she has competed for team usa, as a 22-year-old, in small-bore rifle shooting at the 2004 summer olympics, and has won a gold medal in the rifle three positions at the 2008 issf world cup meet in rio de janeiro, brazil. outside her world and olympic career, hicks was an eight-time all-american for murray state university from 2000 to 2004, where she became the ncaa air rifle champion on her senior season. hicks started out as a successful junior on the u.s. national team for three years, and eventually earned her first small-bore rifle title at the 2001 championship of the americas tournament in fort benning, georgia. in early 2004, hicks added an individual ncaa air rifle title to her career tally in her senior season, while competing for the murray state university. just two months later, hicks qualified for her first and only u.s. olympic team in the 50 m rifle 3 positions at the 2004 summer olympics in athens, after placing second at the trials in fort benning. a less experienced to the international scene, hicks marked 197 in prone, 189 in standing, and 191 in the kneeling series to put up a much steadfast aim in twelfth out of 33 shooters with a total score of 577, having been close to an olympic final cutoff by a two-point margin. since 2007, hicks currently serves as a full-time rifle coach for the university of nebraska-lincoln's shooting roster, and a representative for the usa shooting board of directors athletic rifle association. events from the year 1609 in france ernest kemm (born 18 november 1990) is a south african first-class cricketer. he was included in the easterns cricket team squad for the 2015 africa t20 cup. in september 2018, he was named in limpopo's squad for the 2018 africa t20 cup. the apostolic vicariate of asmara was a roman catholic missionary jurisdiction in eritrea. centered in asmara it was at first the apostolic prefecture of eritrea and then the apostolic vicariate of eritrea. on 13 september 1894, the holy see established the apostolic prefecture of eritrea, then an italian colony, with the decree "ut saluti animarum" of the congregation for the propagation of the faith. its territory was taken from that of the apostolic vicariate of abyssinia, which at that time had its headquarters in keren, eritrea, a town that became the first seat of the new apostolic prefecture of eritrea. on 7 february 1911, it was promoted to apostolic vicariate (with a titular bishop as ordinary). the apostolic vicariate of abyssinia was entrusted to missionaries of the congregation of the mission, who followed the lead of saint giustino de jacobis, the founder of the mission, by using in the liturgy the local ethiopic variant of the alexandrian rite in the ge'ez language, not the roman rite in latin. they were mainly french and, after eritrea was declared an italian colony in 1890, were expelled by the colonial authorities, who accused them of fomenting armed resistance. the apostolic prefecture of eritrea was created for the italian capuchins, who replaced them. these promoted use of the roman rite, in view also of the arrival of italian immigrants. discontent among the eritrean catholics led to the sending in 1927 of the future cardinal alexis lépicier as an apostolic visitor to examine the situation. as a result, father kidanè-maryam cassà was appointed at first pro-vicar apostolic for the ethiopic-rite catholics and then, on 4 july 1930, bishop in charge of an independent ordinariate of eritrea. the eritrean catholic church is the continuation of this ordinariate and of the first eritrean catholic community. the influx of italians into eritrea, especially in the 1930s, led to rapid expansion of the vicariate, although it had thus in 1930 ceased to have responsibility for ethiopic-rite catholics. on 25 july 1959, when already in steep decline, it was renamed as the apostolic vicariate of asmara, the capital of eritrea. although at the beginning of the 1940s nearly 28% of the population of italian eritrea were catholics, mostly italians and of the latin church, there was a pronounced fall in the number of italians present after the end of the second world war, when eritrea was at first under british military administration. the british census of 1949 showed that asmara, the capital, had only 17,183 italians out of a total population of 127,579. the departure of italians accelerated further when eritrea came under ethiopian authority at the end of 1950. the vicariate, which previously had under its jurisdiction the great majority of the catholics in eritrea, became less important numerically than the growing ordinariate, which on 31 october 1951 was raised to the level of an exarchate (the eastern equivalent of a vicariate) under the name of the apostolic exarchate of asmara, and on 28 february 1961 became an eparchy, the eastern equivalent of a diocese. when the fourth and last bishop who held the post of vicar apostolic of eritrea or asmara retired on 2 june 1974, no successor was appointed and the administration of the vicariate was entrusted to a capuchin priest. on 21 december 1995, after a quarter of a century of being without a bishop and being administered by a priest, the vicariate was suppressed at the same time as two new eparchies of the ethiopian catholic church were formed from territory taken from the eparchy of asmara: barentu and keren (now suffragans of the archeparchy of asmara). with the suppression of the vicariate, eritrea was left with no latin church ordinary, and all catholics in eritrea were entrusted to the care of eastern catholic bishops, who since 19 january 2015 are prelates of the eritrean catholic church. the former importance of the latin vicariate is reflected in the

"i am not i" explores a unique combination of edm, pop, and electro house. recording sessions took place between october 2014 and april 2015 at paramount recording studios, encore recording studios, and the invisible studios in los angeles, california. of the album's six tracks, the first five were written by liza fox and jus grata. the last track is jus grata's remix of the single "unlimited" written by liza fox, jus grata, and italian dj mario romano. the album had two music videos released for its title track "i am not i." the first video depicts the singer's ordeal to raise awareness of bipolar disorder and musicdish considered it "the true epic of liza fox and her struggle." the second video features the wideboys sax trap remix with music visualization from the hypnotic rhythm game audiosurf 2. the album has received rave reviews. dj robert scott called it "a marvelous pop/dance affair of the highest order" and computers in entertainment predicted that "it will surely become a rage in the edm circuits." on october 1, "i am not i" reached #1 on reverbnation's u.s. and global edm charts. the title track "i am not i" peaked at #15 on the u.k. music week commercial pop club

not i" album: liza fox makes a smash with her new album "i am not i" which brings a hypnotic beat and mesmerizing music... undoubtedly, liza's raw talent results in an album with songs that take you on a journey of the senses; one which tantalizes the mind with mixed feelings. like liza's colorful personality, her songs also exhibit each distinctive color shining in the rainbow; each lighter and darker hue. one embarks on a zealous dancing-dynamic disposition with her single "unlimited" to an imperious sort of trance while deciphering the complex meaning behind "i am not i." think of her album as perfect for both a high-intensity workout and for setting a sultry mood. rarely does an artist grasp so many diverse sentiments within only one album. and this is just one of the reasons liza fox is so far distinguished from other singers and songwriters. rock ventures llc is the holding company for businessman dan gilbert's portfolio of companies, investments, and real estate. it is based

he married his girlfriend waltraud kolbow who lived in the eastern part of the city and they moved to berlin-prenzlauer berg (east berlin). in 1965 their daughter marguerite was born. as citizen of belgium he was free to travel and he commuted between brussels and berlin, but he endured reprisals from the east german government. his art was prohibited to go on exhibition. he made use of his talents by designing book covers for publishers. by intervention of baudouin of belgium, his wife and daughter were allowed to leave the german democratic republic in 1973 and settle in belgium. in 1974 roger davis servais continued his studies of art at west berlin's school of arts, which, in 1963, he had been forced to intermit. his most influential teacher was otto hofmann, a former pupil of the bauhaus. in 1979 he became a member of the deutscher künstlerbund. in the 1980s roger david servais worked in belgium, france, israel, new york city, sweden and italy. from 1990 onwards he joined the painter and civil rights activist bärbel bohley in her quest to shed light upon oppression and instrumentalization of the arts in the gdr. they both initiated klaus schröder's und hannelore

„european non-conformist“. he is a figurative artist, painter, graphic artist, sculptor and designer who unites opposing techniques in his works - geometric abstraction as well as elements of symbolism and surrealism. his paintings and drawings visualize complex religious, historic and autobiographic statements which are expressed in an indirect and subtle way and are partly encrypted. single letters play a significant role, hinting at the context rather than identifying it; the colours contribute to the painting's essential meaning, too. the relation of shape and space is a very important element. works by roger david servais can be found in private and public collections, e. g.: sergio victor palma (born january 1, 1956) is an argentine who was once the world boxing

"virus"), kathir said that the film would not deal with a virus or natural disasters but that it was a "realistic film that deals with the life of an ordinary youngster and how certain incidents change his course of life", while its director anucharan added that the film had elements of a psychological thriller. he further informed that it was based on something he saw when he "was roaming on the streets of chennai". reshmi menon signed on to portray the female lead in the film, although she was initially apprehensive as she felt that the role—a typical north madras woman, sporting a "no-makeup" look and talking "proper tamil"—was "very much outside my comfort zone". david solomon raja, who had appeared in several television serials and as a police officer in "kaththi", was reported to have played a major role in the film. arul vincent, a former associate of p. c. sreeram, was signed to handle the cinematography. 90 per cent of the film was filmed in chennai while some shooting had taken place in puducherry and kovalam. in september 2014, anucharan spoke with "the new indian express" and shared that "now it has been six months and "kirumi" is almost complete." it was announced in january 2015 that filming was complete and the project had moved into post production. "kirumi"'s music was composed by k. the soundtrack album features six tracks, sung by composer g. v. prakash kumar, gana bala, yazin nizar, janani s. v. and k himself; all lyrics were written by gnanakaravel. upon its july 2015 release, the soundtrack met with critical approval. karthik srinivasan, writing for "the hindu", stated, "composer k has been fairly consistent with his output even as the films they are part of...have been failing consistently. "kirumi's" soundtrack is almost a comeback of sorts for k as he delivers a brilliant collection akin to the sound of santhosh narayanan. topping the soundtrack is "naanal poovaai" that has a curiously ethereal sound (which becomes more evident and interesting in the karaoke version) and k uses the vocal interplay between himself and janani to beautiful effect". musicaloud.com gave a score of 8.5 out of 10 and similarly wrote that the music had "something of a santhosh narayanan/sean roldan type quality to it", but went on to add that it was not "a matter to complain about" and that the soundtrack "definitely ranks among k's top works". the score by k was also received well, with sify writing that "the pulsating background score by k is the biggest strength of the movie; especially the intermission portion is top notch". silverscreen.in wrote that the score was "soulful, and amply enhances the mood of the film". escape artists motion pictures signed contract for the distribution rights for the film across india. "kirumi" was theatrically released on 24 september 2015, coinciding with the bakrid festival, alongside five small-budget films. the film will have its international premiere at the 19th toronto reel asian international film festival, the first tamil film to be screened there. baradwaj rangan of "the hindu" wrote, "sometimes, five minutes is all it takes to know that you're in the hands of a genuine filmmaker — like anucharan...in those five minutes, he establishes everything — tone, texture...and the fact that this is an anti hero film..., a film that goes against the grain of the traditional heroics of tamil cinema", going on to call the film a "superb, low-key character study masquerading as a thriller". "the times of india" rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote "what makes "kirumi" stand apart from other thrillers set in the backdrop of crime is its understated quality. even when the situation offers scope to turn things into full-blown melodrama, anucharan keeps things at a low key...and this refreshing change of pace actually keeps things interesting". "bangalore mirror" rated the film 4.5 out of 5 and wrote "for a debutant, anucharan shows a lot of maturity as well as expertise and clearly proves to the audience that he is a new kid on the block who is worth watching". sify wrote ""kirumi" does have an original story and a tight screenplay. well shot, well edited and brilliantly enacted by most of the lead actors, debutant director anucharan gives us a bunch of fully flesh-and-blood characters with whom you can quickly relate to", describing the film as "pitch perfect". malini mannath of "the new indian express" wrote, ""kirumi" is an example of how a script can be worked within the parameters of commercial cinema and also can be made entertaining without losing sight of reality and reason". one india rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "kirumi is an interesting thriller that largely gets a simple yet unique treatment. it is definitely an honest attempt by its director anucharan". behindwoods rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote ""kirumi" is one of the better stories that you have come across in recent times, but its execution should have been on par with the smartness in the script" and called it a "safe one-time watch". maya jansen (27 may 1994) is an american tennis player. together with canadian player, erin routliffe, she won the 2014 and 2015 ncaa women's doubles championship as members of the tennis team of the university of alabama. she also won the 2015 us open national playoffs women's doubles championship, earning her a wild card entry to the us open women's doubles tournament. the 1989 men's singapore airlines & ascot sport world team squash championships were held in singapore and took place from october 09 until october 16, 1989.
discothèque is an album by flautist herbie mann recorded in 1975 and released on the atlantic label. allmusic awarded the album 2 stars with its review by jim newsome stating: "the unfortunate title of this album fed into the perception that jazz great herbie mann would jump onto any musical trend for a buck. the hit single "hi-jack" actually was pretty good as dance-oriented instrumental pop, but jazz it was not. ...on too many cuts, though, the dated synthesizers and female backing vocals make the mix sound like little more than background music for a shopping mall". nikola stoyanov anastasov (;

born august 25, 1989) is a chinese competitive archer. she won a bronze medal as a member of the chinese women's archery team at the 2015 asian championships in bangkok, thailand, and eventually finished as one of the top 16 finalists in the individual recurve tournament at the 2016 summer olympics. qi was selected to compete for the chinese squad at the 2016 summer olympics in rio de janeiro, shooting in both individual and team recurve tournaments. she opened the tournament by discharging 649 points, 20 perfect tens, and 5 bull's eyes to seal the eleventh seed heading to the knockout draw from the classification round, along with her trio's cumulative score of 1,933. in the women's team recurve, qi and her younger compatriots cao hui and wu jiaxin directly advanced to the quarterfinals as the third-seeded squad, but they were eliminated early by the italian women in a shocking 3–5 match. in the women's individual recurve, qi bounced back from the trio's quarterfinal exit to reach the top sixteen round by disposing brazil's home favorite marina canetta (7–1) and slovakia's alexandra longová. however, she narrowly missed the quarterfinal match in a tough 6–5 shoot-off from her younger teammate wu. toni leutwiler (october 31, 1923 – march 8, 2009), also known as tom wyler, was a swiss composer and violinist from zürich, switzerland who specialized in light music. leutwiler attended the conservatory in zurich from 1936 to 1944 and received his teaching diploma in violin and piano at the age of 19. he had great international success as a composer and as an arranger for soloists and orchestras. he was at the peak of his professional career in the 1960s. between 1945 and 1975 he composed and arranged around 2,000 compositions and arrangements, especially for symphonic light music, inspired also by jazz, which had brought the american occupation troops to europe at that time. his music carries the distinctive style of music that was typical of other mid-century composers like leroy anderson. much of it is also marked by virtuosity in the violin parts. these instances of virtuoso passages are very apparent in his compositions "bristol cream", "happy time", and "galop on strings". a typical piece by him follows the aba format, with two fast sections at the outer parts of the piece that are almost identical to each other and a slow, lyrical theme in the middle. the slow themes contrast very much with its passionate lyricism to the light and frivolous faster sections. the water skiing movement from his "summer suite" displays this very clearly. his background as a violinist is extremely noticeable in his works. the violin parts take the melody almost all of the time while the rest of the orchestra simply just accompanies that section. alireza karimi machiani (;

dance ability. early next morning at the dorm, the trainees are asleep after practicing for hours. however, byoungjun abruptly leaves the apartment without permission for then unknown reasons. a few days later, the group goes to m studio for their first profile video shoot. while shooting byoungjun suddenly returns, and the trainees are uneasy around him because he left. he apparently just wanted a break, and went to visit some friends and his father. teen actress kim yoo-jung arrives later to film her bit of the trainees' video shoot. the shoot proves to be anything but easy for the idol trainees, they find themselves shirtless and covered in clay even in freezing temperatures for their filming. later during their practice time, hwang se-jun pays the idols an unexpected visit and gives the group their first mission: to form 2 teams of five and gather new fans in a public setting. the team with the most online votes wins. after the mydols return home to the dorm, they gather around to find out which team won the first mission. the episode begins with the mydols in their practice room a few days after the first mission. ceo hwang se-jun makes a surprise appearance and has come to reveal the winner of the mission based on the online vote. team devils is revealed to be the winners, by a margin on 71 votes. team devils received 629 votes in total, giving them 52.99& of the vote. team heaven received 558 votes, giving them 47.01% of the votes. for winning the mission, n, daewon, hongbin, byoungjun & hyuk receive a visit to a massage shop as a prize. for the losing team, their punishment is to run from the dorms to their practice room for one week. later the mydols go off for their individual practice sessions after group dance practice. they also visit the gym regularly for the mandatory exercise regiment. the next day, hwang se-jun visits the trainees again at their practice studio to reveal the decided number of members the final group will have. after several meetings within the company, se-jun decides that a 6-member group would be the best choice. the ten group is even more anxious due to this reminder. a few days after the announcement, the mydols visit a cafe after their individual vocal practices to unwind and relax. while at the cafe, they suddenly receive their next mission in the form of a video recording, which is break up into groups of 5 and have idol dance cover battle. the two youngest, hyuk and yoonchul, are decided as team captains and they arm wrestle to decide who picks first for their team, hyuk beats yoonchul. days later after the trainees' main dance practice with yang sook, he inspects their respective dances for the mission battle. he deems both teams as messy and in need of more practice. hyuk's team is especially criticized since yang sook thinks it's a performance only rain himself can execute. after the critique, hyuk's team arrives at a possible stalemate: nakhun who thinks they should change songs, and ravi who wants to stick to the song they have. some days later, the group of trainees are suddenly practicing their acting as opposed to their normal routine. it was decided that the trainees would take part in an acting mission due to overwhelming requests for it on the mydols angels fan page. jellyfish artist seo in-guk and music video director lee geun-ho stop by the practice room to judge which trainee has best acting skills and to determine which of them will earn a role in in-guk's newest music video. ken and leo's acting tests were not shown. a few days later, the head of the rookie development team, lee hee jung arrives at the trainee practice room to reveal the winner of the acting test audition and hongbin is revealed to be the winner. at a later time, hongbin leaves the trainees and goes to music video shooting location. he shoots his scene with the female lead, actress son eun-seo. some days later while the mydols are busy practicing for their second mission, they are shocked by an unexpected visitor. it's idol star lee joon of mblaq, he's come to give the trainees encouragement and guidance from his past trainee experience. after evaluating them individually, he praises ravi for his impressive dance skills. the day of the second mission has arrived and both teams have reached their performance destination. it turns out to be middle school, where females are the minority of the student population. the response towards the idols' individual and group performances is underwhelming to say the least. the group travels to another school to perform, this time an all girl high school. both teams are very well received, especially hyuk's team's performance of "hip song". with only one day left until the first elimination, se-jun and his fellow consultants ponder on who should be the first to go home. on the day of the first elimination, hwang se-jun visits the trainees to reveal his decision. hyuk, byoungjun, n, ravi and leo are quickly declared safe. from the bottom group, hongbin, nakhun and yoonchul are next to be declared safe, leaving ken and daewon as the bottom two. the episode starts off where the last one ended with both ken and daewon up for elimination. without too much hesitation ken is declared safe, which means that daewon is the first to go, much to the shock of the other trainees, including ken. after sharing a brief and sad last moment with his fellow mydol's daewon returns to the dorms, packs up and leaves. the day after daewon's elimination, the 9 remaining trainees are back in the practice room when ceo se-jun is back again, this time to inform them of their next evaluation. the first part is a group evaluation, where they must separate into two teams, but both will perform the same song. the second part is the inevitable individual evaluation. se-jun shocks the group by revealing that this is the final evaluation, after this challenge three trainees will be automatically eliminated and the final line-up will be decided. the rappers ravi and byoungjun are chosen by se-jun as the two team leaders. the two of them however go about choosing the members for the respective teams in a disorganized manner. in the end ravi's team consists of himself, leo, hongbin, yoonchul and hyuk, while byoungjun's team consists of ken, n, nakhun and himself. a few days after practicing for their final evaluations, the trainees go to a separate location away from the dorms. they are unaware of the purpose of the excursion until an unexpected guest arrives to meet them. jellyfish artist brian shows up to help the mydols with their english. he also brings along a japanese teacher, sayuri. most of the idols are nervous in both english and japanese. nakhun (who was born in australia) and byoungjun (who was born and raised in california) excel in the english aspect of the class. later the trainees practice individually late into the night. before final evaluation day, both teams showcase their songs for vocal trainer park sung joon. he gives constructive criticism to several of the trainees, both individually and in their teams. on the final evaluation day, the nine trainees arrive at the performance hall where their final performances will take place. the judges for the evaluation consist of ceo hwang se-jun, rap trainer j'kyun, dance trainer yang wook and singer brian. first up are the individual member performances. after the individual performances, both teams perform their renditions of seo in-guk's "love u". byoungjun's team goes first and receives positive and negative feedback. ravi's team goes second and also receives mixed reviews but slightly more positive feedback. the episode ends with hwang se-jun assembling the nine trainees to decide the final line-up. leo and n are the first two chosen to be a part of the group. se-jun then announces that two rappers will not be necessary in the group and only one out of the pair of rappers will make it in, either byoungjun or ravi. n/a the contender was not involved in the call-out for that episode. safe the contender was chosen as part of the top group. in  the contender was a part of the bottom group, but was safe. low  the contender was a part of the bottom two and in danger of going home. out  the contender was eliminated and not chosen for the final line-up vixx  the contender was chosen

san antonio light newspaper. she was an early advocate for and participant in the artist-in-the-schools programs, building a legacy that lived on for decades after. catacalos spent 1989 to 2003 in california, where she was first a stegner creative writing fellow at stanford university, then executive director of the poetry center/american poetry archives at san francisco state university

influences operate not as inert showpieces, but as live observations on the nature of time and mortality, emphasizing the spiritual ecstasy inherent in ordinary experience." many of catacalos' poems deconstruct women's labor in a way that makes them have almost a spiritual quality. cochylimorpha yangtseana is a species of moth of the family tortricidae. it is found in xizang, china. the wingspan

tactical grid map. the gameplay is turn-based, and map elevation has an effect on characters' abilities and mobility; certain units are more capable of climbing to higher terrain than others, and units take damage from falling. the field maps feature various gimmicks, including rail cars, flaming pits, logs, artillery batteries, laser beams and moving platforms. each of the playable characters move by traveling along each square of the map grid, however certain enemies are able to take up more than one square on the map grid. prior to beginning a mission, the player is able to select characters as participating units, equip them, and designate a mission leader. akin to various other tactical rpg games, the battle system is separated into player and enemy phases, where each side takes turns in moving characters and executing commands. there is a new mechanic known as "lily boost", which involves adjacent units developing special bonds that grant special skills and abilities such as goddess transformations; kissing animations are displayed upon activation. during battle, characters can become affected by a series of status ailments which alter the state of battle, which include zombification, cowardice, turning into tofu, meganekko, becoming 8-bit, and infatuation. items can be crafted from raw materials. the player is also able to customise noire's room within the "sim noire" mode, using furniture purchasable with in-game points. unlike previous "hyperdimension neptunia" games, "gekishin black heart" is not set within the world of , but instead within a similar but separate world known as . the goddesses of each of the four nations battle against one another for hegemony over the world day by day, however just as noire is one step away from complete domination, the goddesses' powers are robbed by an unknown force. in order to save the world from destruction, the four goddesses cooperate with one another with the aim of unifying gamarket. the game features the four main characters from previous games, in addition to a series of 18 new playable characters, each a parody (or an apotheosis) representing a game franchise, genre, or game developer. additional playable characters can be added to the game via paid dlc. the project was initially announced during the "game no dengeki kanshasai 2013" festival. the game is produced by series producer naoko mizuno, producer higashiro, and development producer hikaru yasui. the opening theme song is performed by asami imai and produced by 5pb., and the ending song is "hug" by marina. the vita version received positive reviews in japan. "famitsu" gave it a review score of one seven and three eights for a total of 31 out of 40. said vita version sold 28,397 physical retail copies within the first week of release in japan, placing fourth place amongst the japanese software sales charts for that particular week. in the west, the game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website metacritic. hardcore gamer said that the vita version "offers great gameplay with the unfortunate caveat that you’ll need to waste more time than expected waiting on enemies to enjoy it." the cdp-choline pathway, first identified by eugene kennedy in 1956, is the predominant mechanism by which mammalian cells synthesize phosphatidylcholine (pc) for incorporation into membranes or lipid-derived signalling molecules. the cdp-choline pathway represents one half of what is known as the kennedy pathway. the other half is the cdp-ethanolamine pathway which is responsible for the biosynthesis of the phospholipid product phosphatidylethanolamine (pe). the cdp-choline pathway begins with the uptake of exogenous choline into the cell. the first enzymatic reaction is catalyzed by choline kinase (ck) and involves the phosphorylation of choline to form phosphocholine. phosphocholine is then activated by the addition of ctp catalyzed by the rate-limiting enzyme, ctp:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase to form cdp-choline. the final step of the pathway involves the addition of the choline headgroup onto a diacylglycerol (dag) backbone to form pc, catalyzed by choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase (cept). phosphatidylcholine can be acted upon by phospholipases to form different metabolites. mammalian cells are unable to synthesize choline "de novo" and therefore must rely on exogenous sources from the diet. the uptake of choline is accomplished predominantly by the high-affinity, sodium dependent choline transporter (cht) and requires atp as an energy source. on the other hand, choline may enter the cell through the activation of low-affinity, sodium-independent organic cation transport proteins (octs) and/or carnitine/organic cation transporters (octns), and do not require atp. lastly, choline may enter the cell through intermediate-affinity transporters, which include the choline transporter-like protein 1 (ctl1). the fate of internalized choline depends on the cell type. in pre-synaptic neurons the majority of choline will be acetylated by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase to form the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. mst other cells will phosphorylate choline by the enzyme choline kinase, the first committed step of cdp-choline pathway. choline kinase (ck) is a cytosolic protein that catalyzes the following reaction: in addition to the phosphorylation of choline, ck has also been shown to phosphorylate ethanolamine, a precursor to another important glycerophospholipid, phosphatidylethanolamine. ck functions as a dimer consisting of either α1, α2 or β subunits. each ck isoform is ubiquitously expressed throughout tissues, however ckα is enriched in the testis and liver, whereas ckβ is enriched in the liver and the heart. homozygous deletion of ckα is embryonic lethal after about 5 days, whereas deletion of ckβ is not. under normal circumstances, choline kinase is not the rate-limiting step of the cdp-choline pathway. however in rapidly dividing cells, there is increased ck expression and activity as a result of increased demand for pc synthesis. ctp:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (cct), the rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway, is a nuclear/cytosolic enzyme and catalyzes the following reaction: cct functions as a dimer of either α and β subunits encoded by "pcyt1a" and "pcyt1b", respectively. cctα has four domains; a nuclear localization signal (nls), an α-helical membrane binding domain, a catalytic domain, and a phosphorylation domain. the major difference between the α and β isoforms is that cctβ lacks the nls resulting in a predominantly cytosolic pool of cctβ. on the other hand, the presence of an nls results in a predominantly nuclear pool of cctα. cctα shuttles between the nucleus (where it is considered inactive) to the cytoplasm where it associates with membranes and is activated in response to lipid activators or during progression through the cell cycle when pc demand is high. cctα is an amphitropic enzyme, meaning that it exists as either an inactive soluble form, or an active, membrane bound form. whether or not cctα is membrane bound is largely dictated by the relative composition of membranes. if membranes are low in pc, and relatively enriched in anionic lipids, diacylglycerol, or phosphatidylethanolamine, cct inserts into the membrane bilayer via its membrane binding domain. this binding event relieves an autoinhibitory constraint on the catalytic domain, resulting in a decrease in the km for phosphocholine. choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase (cept), or choline phosphotransferase (cpt) the last enzymatic reaction in the cdp-choline pathway, catalyzes the following reaction: the last step in the cdp-choline pathway is catalyzed by either cpt or cept and are localized to the golgi or endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. cpt and cept are encoded by separate genes that share 60% sequence similarity. both isoforms contain 7 transmembrane segments, and an α-helix near the catalytic domain that is required for cdp-alcohol binding. cpt recognizes only cdp-choline, whereas cept recognizes both cdp-choline and cdp-ethanolamine. the reason for this dual specificity is not exclusively known. cept is largely considered to be the enzyme responsible for the bulk of pc synthesis, with cpt having an exclusive role in the golgi, where it may control the levels of the precursor dag, an important second messenger. neither cpt or cept are considered to be rate-limiting, but can be if dag is restricted. yamen glacier (, ) is the 10 km long and 4 km wide glacier in gromshin heights on the east side of northern sentinel range in ellsworth mountains, antarctica. it is situated northeast of

the battle of smithfield was a relatively small skirmish during the american civil war – taking place on from january 31 to february 1, 1864, in smithfield, virginia. in 1863 and early 1864, confederate units harassed union gunboats on the nansemond river and operated with relative impunity in the smithfield area. union navy and army commanders decided to cooperate in a joint operation by sending landing parties into the towns of chuckatuck in nansemond county – present day suffolk, virginia - and smithfield in isle of wight county to converge and trap an offending rebel unit. the plan went awry when union troops marching south from smithfield encountered confederate troops near an abandoned cotton mill site southwest of the town. both sides disengaged and pulled back – union troops into smithfield and confederate soldiers toward zuni. then, confederate forces led by col. nathaniel a. sturdivant rallied from their nearby winter quarters on the blackwater river and rushed to repel the invasion. on february 1, 1864, southern cannons were fired down main street in the middle of town with a union cannon responding in kind. the confederates made an all-out assault on both flanks of the enemy and drove them back to their landing site on the edge of town. the united states army gunboat was sent to rescue the detachment but was destroyed. nearly the entire landing force was captured and sent off to the confederate prison near andersonville, georgia. on january 31, one confederate soldier was killed in action. on february 1, union casualties included 17 killed in action,

borough. all bishops were themselves "ex officio" members of the irish house of lords. three bishop's boroughs (old leighlin, clogher, and st canice or irishtown) were disenfranchised by the acts of union 1800, and their bishops at the time applied for the standard £15,000 compensation due to patrons of disenfranchised boroughs; however, the commissioners rejected these claims, and awarded the money to the board of first fruits. armagh city, the archbishop of armagh's borough, remained enfranchised at westminster and under the archbishop's control until the irish reform act 1832. although cashel and tuam were originally archbishops' boroughs, they passed to lay patrons in the eighteenth century. even before seats in the house of commons were greatly valued, the irish bishops had interested themselves in the municipal corporations and in municipal politics. in 1680 john vesey, archbishop of tuam, wrote to ormonde to present alderman thomas cartwright, the newly elected mayor of galway, "as a person very well qualified for that trust, on account of his conformity to the church, and consequently his loyalty to the king." "and indeed," added the archbishop, "i must needs say, with much comfort, for the few english protestants there incorporated, that they seem to be very well principled, all very uniform in their public devotions, and manageable on any occasion readily for his majesty's service." after the 1688–91 revolution the bishops continued their interest in municipal politics with a view to parliamentary influence; and in the eighteenth century bishops were frequently of the great borough-owning families, and were often borough managers on their own account. the method of securing borough control through dependents was one which was sometimes acted upon by the bishops who were in control of boroughs. it was chiefly through the clergy, as freemen in irishtown and cashel, as members of the corporation in clogher and armagh, and as freeholders at old leighlin, that the irish bishops were able to maintain an easy hold on their boroughs, and, with the boroughs thus in their possession, to use the power of nomination to the house of commons to their own advantage in the church. the influence enjoyed by the bishops probably accounts for the abortive motion in the house of commons in 1710, "that leave be given to bring in the heads of a bill to prevent the promotion of any spiritual person for reward." a. p. w. malcomson suggests that the appointment of cathedral clergy as burgesses of the corporations of irishtown, clogher, and old leighlin was a consequence of the scarcity of other resident members of the church of ireland; although the newtown act of 1748 allowed non-resident burgesses, this did not apply to "cities", a class which arguably included all cathedral towns. until 1783, the four boroughs belonging to the bishops, irishtown, clogher, old leighlin, and armagh, had been regarded as crown property, and as providing opportunities for bringing into the house of commons men connected with the government. the idea that these boroughs were the property of the bishops, to be used as other borough proprietors used their boroughs, dated from lord northington's administration. the constitution of 1782 increased the independence of the irish parliament, and at the general election of 1783, on the usual application being made to the bishops for the nominations for their boroughs, three of them answered the lord lieutenant that their seats were already disposed of. northington wrote for instructions from london in this emergency. "was he," he asked, " to signify to these prelates his majesty's disapprobation of their conduct?" lord north, the british prime minister, replied: "the king [ george iii ] is unwilling to interfere, but he agrees with your excellency, that it is extremely improper conduct." walter cope, who as bishop of ferns and leighlin controlled the borough of old leighlin, was the only bishop who at this general election gave his two seats to the government. cope was rewarded by the promotion of his brother-in-law archibald acheson from baron to viscount gosford. at the union fifteen thousand pounds were allowed as compensation in respect of each of the three bishop boroughs, irishtown, clogher, and old leighlin. the compensation, however, did not go to the bishops, each of whom had put in an individual claim. the sum of forty-five thousand pounds was handed over to the commissioners of first-fruits, subject to the condition that the interest accruing from it should be expended in such a way as would best promote residence of the clergy of the established church; a decision porritt describes as "certainly equitable". the claim which the bishop of ossory made for personal compensation at the union contains a statement which is of value in the representative history of ireland. it puts beyond question the reasons which induced the bishops to trouble themselves with borough management. after advancing five statements in support of his case that the borough of irishtown had long been under the individual control of successive bishops of ossory, dr hamilton affirmed that the control so exercised by himself and his predecessors had "given the bishops of ossory so much additional consequence, and obtained for them so much attention from government, that the bishops of that see, with the exception of only two bishops, who died soon after their appointment, for above a century past have been all translated to much more eligible bishoprics." dr hamilton further urged that by the union he was to be deprived of "that influence and consequence which his predecessors always enjoyed, and from which they derived great advantage"; and therefore he considered himself entitled to claim any allowance which might be awarded for the extinction of irishtown as a parliamentary borough. the city of armagh, county armagh, was the episcopal seat of the primate of all ireland, the archbishop of armagh. the sovereign of armagh corporation was the primate's land agent, or the seneschal of the manor. the other burgesses were clergymen, "who seem to have held on an express or implied stipulation to resign on quitting the diocese, or in case of their becoming unwilling to act under the archbishop's direction." as these clergymen naturally looked to the archbishop for preferment, it is improbable that there were many resignations under the last clause of the agreement; and a corporation so managed must have been as easy to control as through tenants who had taken an oath, and against whom, moreover, the agent had the additional lever of the "hanging gale" (rent arrears). at armagh, in the closing years of the old representative system, the archbishop although he was not a member of the corporation, and had no constitutional connection with it commanded twelve of the thirteen votes by which the members of parliament for the city were elected; and "so completely was the election of the members considered to be in the primate, that he regularly paid the expenses of the admission of the free burgesses, amounting to five pounds each." irishtown was a suburb of the city of kilkenny, within the county of the city but forming a separate borough, called irishtown or st canice. the 1707 election was held indoors because of bad weather, in the hall of the bishop of ossory. for many years prior to 1734, it was the custom of the bishop to order the portreeve "to give cockets to gentlemen, thereby making them free; and as often as the bishop desired it, the same was done." cockets were the titles by which freemen established their right to vote. the connection thus early existing between the bishops and the borough of irishtown continued to the last; for at the union dr hugh hamilton, then bishop of ossory, claimed as his individual property the fifteen thousand pounds which were to be paid as compensation for the disfranchisement of the borough, and in his statement of claim laid stress on the fact "that for a long series of years all elections of members of parliament have been held in the bishop's palace-yard, and the other corporate meetings in his hall." among the grounds proffered for the bishop's claim to the compensation to be awarded at the union was that, by immemorial custom, part of the oath of office taken by the portreeve of irishtown was to be true to the interests of the bishop of ossory; that the burgesses were always elected on the recommendation of the bishop; that neither property, residence, nor service in the borough was required of any freeman; that hardly one inhabitant of the borough in 1800 was a freeman; and that the influence of the bishop had always been so powerful that all members of parliament and burgesses had been uniformly elected on his recommendation, without one instance to the contrary. in 1779, the lord lieutenant the earl of buckinghamshire was writing to the prime minister lord north to recommend john hotham for the see of ossory, and reminded north that there was a borough with the see, "which requires a great deal of management," adding that for this work dr hotham "appears to me particularly well qualified." the hamlet of old leighlin, county carlow was a corporation borough, one of the creations of james i. the elective franchise was in the portreeve and twelve free burgesses. when the irish municipal commissioners made their visit to old leighlin there were only twenty houses and not more than one hundred inhabitants. it must have been an easy borough for the bishop of ferns and leighlin to manage: easier than ever after the newtown act of 1747. from the journals little can be learned of its history; for election petitions were infrequent from any of the boroughs created by james i. these were never easy of attack ; and old leighlin was doubtless managed, as was the borough of armagh, with the corporation largely composed of the clergymen of the diocese. the village of clogher, county tyrone was originally a corporation borough. it was enfranchised by letters patent in the fifth year of charles i, and by its constitution the corporation was to consist of a portreeve and twelve burgesses, and the first members were to be nominated by the then bishop of clogher. "we are unable," wrote the municipal commissioners who visited the borough in 1833, "to discover any trace of the existence of a corporation, beyond what may arise from the right to vote for members of parliament having been attached by the bishops of clogher to the grant of each stall in the cathedral, and the exercise of that right." for some time the corporation apparently existed in this loose form, and the occupants of the stalls in the cathedral were the sole electors of the members from clogher; but in the middle of the eighteenth century the freeholders of the manor tendered their votes at an election. they were refused; and they petitioned parliament against the return. the house of commons admitted their right to vote; and clogher thus became a manor borough. the bishops, however, never lost their control, and at the union clogher was dealt with as one of the bishop boroughs. the city of cashel, county tipperary was a freeman borough, and in the early part of the eighteenth century it was as much a bishop's borough as armagh. evidence of the archbishop's political control of cashel is to be found in the journals for 1737. the methods of borough management there were then very similar to those at armagh. william palliser was archbishop of cashel from 1696 until 1726. he was a freeman of the borough; and was active in the election of mayor and aldermen, because by these officers the making of freemen was controlled. it was usual after an ordination at the st. john's cathedral to make the newly ordained clergymen freemen of the borough. dr burgess, a clergyman, was mayor; and, to quote from the evidence in the election case of 1737, "the archbishop had an ordination at cashel in dr burgess' mayoralty, when there were about eighteen or twenty young men ordained, and they were all admitted freemen of the corporation." the local clergymen at cashel were active among the resident freemen, lending them money and rendering them other services in the interest of the archbishop, who bestowed preferment on clergymen who aided him in his management and control of the borough. but although, in the early decades of the eighteenth century, dr palliser was in full control of cashel, it did not become, like irishtown, clogher, old leighlin, or armagh, permanently a bishop's borough; and for seventy years before the irish reform act 1832, cashel was in the possession of the pennefather family, who held it, not as dr palliser had done by making many freemen, but by restricting the number and electing none but members of the pennefather family into the corporation. the town of tuam, county galway, was a corporation borough controlled by the archbishop of tuam from its enfranchisement in 1614, but it passed to the bingham family after henry bingham married archbishop john vesey's daughter anne in 1714. the hillman wizard 75, hillman twenty 70, hillman hawk and their long wheelbase variants hillman seven seater and hillman 80 models were a series of 20 horsepower (rac rating) medium priced 5-7 seater executive cars made by hillman during the 1930s. built at a time when body and chassis were quite separate structures hillman's 20 horsepower chassis was given three different body shapes in five years and a grand total of five different names if the long wheelbase cars are included. the same body shapes and chassis were used for hillman's 16 horsepower offering though that smaller engine was not offered with their long wheelbase cars. towards the end of the 1930s the badges of the current models were changed by the rootes brothers to humber snipe. "the hillman wizard, the car for the roads of the world" was designed by the rootes brothers to capture new export markets and to continue their super snipe's challenge to "the american type of car". they were freshly in control of humber as well as hillman and britain exported comparatively few cars. the chassis frame has five cross members and the frame is deep and as rigid as possible. the front axle has an h section with rectangular ends for torsional stress. "duo-servo" 4-wheel brakes are bendix design operating, after two primary rods, by enclosed cables on drums. the springing is half-elliptical on both axles and they are controlled by double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers. the rear under-hung springs are long. steering is by a worm and nut design. the cars are supplied with artillery wheels and a fixed roof, wire wheels and a sunshine roof are optional extras. headlamps are dip-and-switch. a road test of the family saloon by "the times" motoring correspondent published at the end of june 1931 noted that the seating for five passengers is comfortable and there is a wide view right round. the forward side windows can be wound right down but the large rear windows only as much as a third of the way. the opening windscreen is safety glass with one electric wiper and a reflecting mirror is provided. there are no ashtrays and there were slight squeaks in the body. a stoplight is fitted and a luggage grid. a spare artillery wheel and tyre are fitted in a well on the front wing. the always smooth and quiet engine pushed the car to a highest speed of about after easily running up to . the brakes were very effective except when backing the car. steering — light and steady. a de luxe model was announced on 1 january 1932. among its improvements were: new colour schemes, a luggage trunk on the grid at the rear, walnut dashboard and window fillets, special furniture hide, de luxe carpets and head-lining with a parcel net, indirect lighting for the instrument panel, larger thinner-rimmed steering wheel, double-barred bumpers, and three ashtrays. in march 1933 hillman announced that the wizard had been given "cyclonic induction" providing "a power surge". this appears to have been a switch from an unspecified design of carburettor to a downdraught design. just two months later in mid-september hillman announced the wizard's replacement, their new model hillman 20/70, with new all-steel bodies and electric direction indicators. the wizard did not sell as well as planned and the cost of pressed steel's tooling has been spread across to this new model. the twenty 70 body remains essentially the wizard's but with new grilles, wings and rear valance. the twenty 70 announced in mid-september 1933 remains all-steel and now more streamlined. it has been given an outswept long-skirted tail in place of the former d-shape. there are separate chairs in front except on the "family" saloon which has a three-seater single-piece bench seat at the front. triplex safety glass is now throughout the car. there are dual screenwipers, a roof lamp, a rear blind which may be controlled from the driver's seat, locks on all doors and a driving mirror. a special design of bumpers is standard throughout the range. de luxe saloons have a sunshine roof, ash trays, cigar lighter, a parcel net on the ceiling and pillar pulls. a luggage grid was also fitted at the back of de luxe saloons. the radiator grille or shell stylishly slopes back to match the new streamlined coachwork and its chromium-plated shutters are thermostatically controlled. electric direction indicators are fitted. built into the body sides they are invisible unless in operation. they are controlled from the steering wheel and they are self-cancelling. every saloon has a wireless aerial installed in the saloon's roof. a "philco transitone" wireless set is available as an option. hillman's small car range now included their melody minx. as before as well as the saloons described above a sports saloon, a foursome drophead coupé and a five-seater (open) tourer are available again the seven seater has a longer wheelbase and may be purchased as a saloon, limousine or landaulette. all three have a pair of occasional seats in the rear compartment, the limousine is an ideal mourning carriage. while the new car's chassis is little changed from the wizard the engine now provides "cushioned power" endowed by its new flexible mountings. the engine clutch and gearbox unit is suspended at three points on rubber. the four speed gearbox now has synchromesh between third and top and freewheel except on the cheapest "family" model. all gears are "silent". the freewheel can be locked by a control on the facia. startix optional engine starting is now fitted. "the times" tried driving the seven seater limousine, a long wheelbase version of the twenty 70. it is mechanically identical except for the back axle which uses the lower ratio of the smaller engined sixteen. driving was comfortable and all the controls functioned well, the steering was particularly good. the car was perfectly capable of but the rear springs were too firm without a load in the car and some variable control should be provided. the car "is a remarkable job for the money". 1935 models were distinguished by a radiator shell or grille painted in the body colour, the radiator filler cap moved under the bonnet and a chromium plated motif above the bonnet. a thermostatically controlled cut-out now allows the engine to fully warm before letting water circulate to the radiator. "the times" tried a 1935 model sports saloon. it described the engine as a good performer and one of the car's chief attractions. the car accomplished a good . the brakes need light pedal pressure. they tended to grab and affect the steering but this might have been on just this particular car. the synchromesh works well. "the outstanding characteristic in the appearance of this car is compactness". this sports saloon weighed 29½ cwt . the twenty 70 and 16 cars did not sell well in spite of the best efforts of william rootes and his sales team. "the public still looked upon them as updated wizards". a new streamlined body was announced in october 1935 with a new name for the 20, hawk. chassis design was by william haynes assisted by alec issigonis. the modern all-steel semi-monocoque style body was designed by thrupp & maberly, london coachbuilders also owned by rootes group. the new body houses the spare wheel in the tail. its new lines "are planned to flow smoothly from the radiator". . . "to the trunk at the rear with the streamlined well-valanced wings merging harmoniously into the whole". as before the sloping single-piece windscreen may be opened to give better vision in fog. the new model's "superpower" engine is enlarged 13 per cent achieved by lengthening its stroke by 14 mm. although the cubic capacity rose from 2810 cc to 3181 cc this did not affect the car's tax rating because the rac formula takes no account of an engine's stroke. the only other changes from the engine of the twenty 70 were the introduction of replaceable hardened steel valve seats and improved steel-backed main bearings for the crankshaft. the instrument panel now has a rheostat switch to vary the lighting at will. there is no change to the cars but there are significant price reductions all round and a new safety saloon with triplex safety glass all round is listed in place of last season's family saloon. the cars are heavily advertised with the statements "tested approved and ordered by his majesty's war office, the royal air force, the metropolitan and provincial police and other great public services at home and overseas." "the times" tried the 80 enclosed limousine from the driving seat and reported the engine is well balanced, smooth in operation because of its rubber mounts and lively, "quiet as well as silky". can be reached on top gear. october 1937 earls court motorshow. the old hawk, now the humber snipe —and the old hillman sixteen now a humber sixteen— is displayed without further comment on humber's stand about 700 hillman "16"s were built between 1936-37 whereas around 5000 hillman "hawk"s were built during the same period and an estimated 300 hillman "80"s were constructed between 1936-38. these models were produced as standard saloons and deluxe saloons, some of which were used by the military, police and government departments, with a small number of each model being produced as sports tourers, cabriolets and coupes, the bodywork being converted by coachbuilders thrupp & maberly and wingham (martin walter). only a few examples of each model still exist in the uk today. some of these vehicles were exported throughout the world, especially to australia and new zealand where a number of "hawk"s and "80"'s also still survive. caleb flaxey (born august 30, 1983) is a canadian curler from caledon, ontario. flaxey, originally from sault ste. marie, ontario, played lead for the eric harnden rink that represented northern ontario at the 2008 tim hortons brier in winnipeg, manitoba. the team finished with a 3–8 record. flaxey represented northern ontario at the 2009 canadian mixed curling championship in iqaluit, nunavut, playing second for ian fisher. the team finished with a 6–5 record. flaxey joined the brad jacobs team in 2008, and played lead for the team for two seasons. he played for the team when they represented northern ontario at the 2010 tim hortons brier in halifax, nova scotia played at the halifax metro centre. the team finished with a 9–2 record in the round robin, earning a place in the 1 vs. 2 game. they would lose to glenn howard from ontario in the 1 vs. 2 game and kevin koe from alberta in the semi-final. flaxey joined the wayne tuck, jr. rink in 2012, and has since won one world curling tour event as part of the team, the 2013 mount lawn gord carroll classic. they competed in the 2013 the dominion tankard at the barrie molson centre in barrie, ontario finishing with a 4-6 record. flaxey was included on the brad jacobs team as alternate at the 2013 canadian olympic curling trials at the mts centre in winnipeg, manitoba. the team finished the round robin with a 7-0 record, earning a direct entry to the final. they would beat john morris in the final and earn the right to represent canada at the 2014 winter olympics. in sochi, russia, the team finished the round robin with 7-2 record. they defeated liu rui from china in the semi-final 10-6. they would meet david murdoch from scotland in the final, and win 9-3, becoming olympic gold medalists. flaxey currently coaches the allison flaxey and brad jacobs rinks. flaxey is married to ontario women's champion allison flaxey. flaxey attended sir james dunn collegiate and vocational school for high school. he also studied finance & accounting at missouri valley college in marshall, missouri where he was the captain of the men's golf team and an all-american. he currently works as a supply chain analyst for essilor canada ltd, an eyeglass lens manufacturing company in etobicoke, ontario. the sea of tranquility is the debut album of the norwegian band neograss, released on august 2, 2010. "introduction and exposition" "development" "recapitulation and coda" the third avenue historic district is the "mansion" district of kenosha, wisconsin, united states from the early twentieth century, comprising mostly large stylish homes along lake michigan. kenosha, wisconsin was first settled in 1835, and by 1836, charles durkee had amassed a large land holding near lake michigan. durkee later parcelled out his holdings for residential development. by 1882, the entire area of the third avenue district was settled, although few buildings from this era remain. starting with the george a. yule house in 1899, third avenue became a desirable dwelling place for kenosha's most prominent families. the 1890s had brought great prosperity to kenosha with simmons manufacturing, the bain wagon works, n. r. allen & sons tannery, chicago brass company, and pettit malting company. these wealthy families had their houses designed by notable architects. the alford house was designed by richard philipp, best known for designing the walter j. kohler estate in kohler. n. max dunning, a kenosha native that focused on country house design, planned the fred h. carpenter house and the eugene head house. the most prominent firm active in the area's development was pond & pond, who designed the jeffrey nash house, the yule house, the wilson house, and the allen house. the most notable industrialists that lived in the district were charles durkee, charles williams nash, charles t. jeffery, and charles c. allen. durkee became the city's foremost politician, serving two terms in the united states house of representatives and one term as united states senator. when he moved to the utah territory to become its sixth governor, durkee's house was acquired by the episcopal church in 1865. it became part of kemper hall, a girls' school. jeffrey was the son of thomas b. jeffery of the thomas b. jeffery company, who assumed control of the company in 1910. this company was purchased by nash in 1916 and renamed nash motors. allen inherited his father's tannery and turned it into a nationally recognized produced of hosiery. on november 1, 1988, the district was recognized by the national park service with a listing on the national register of historic places. jessica lauren four are a london based jazz-soul group led by jessica lauren on piano (primarily), andrew

"stag's head". caberfae peaks' official opening was in january, 1938, making it one of the oldest ski resorts in the us. the resort opened with a lodge built by the civilian conservation corps and one ski trail named "number one". the first rope tow was powered by a ford model a car engine. over the next 5 years a dozen more trails were cleared and several rope tows installed. it closed after the 1942-43 season and didn't open again until after the end of world war ii. with its ten-year head-start on boyne mountain, caberfae became michigan's largest winter sports area by the mid 1950s. regularly scheduled "snow trains" brought thousands of skiers to the area, with daily crowds sometimes exceeding 4000. a snowmaking system was installed in 1957. the resort continued to expand throughout the 1960s, adding trails and lifts to bring the count up to 35 trails serviced by 20 lifts. however, poor snow during the 1965 and 1966 holiday periods caused financial difficulties for the operation and the resort was sold to a private company in 1967. prior to this it had been managed as a non-profit. the resort struggled financially throughout the 70s. new owners in 1980 began

sameiti is a species of leaf-tailed gecko. like all members of the genus "uroplatus", "u. sameiti" is endemic to madagascar, and is found in primary and secondary forests on the island. it has the ability to change its skin colour to match its surroundings and possesses dermal flaps which break up its outline when at rest. it is a cites ii protected animal due to habitat loss and over-collection for the pet trade. the generic name, "uroplatus", is a latinisation of two greek words: (', meaning "tail") and (', meaning "flat"). the specific name is a latinisation of the name joachim sameit. the genus "uroplatus" contains 14 species endemic to madagascar. "u. sameiti" was originally described as a subspecies of "u. sikorae", to which it is closely related, based on the light colouration of its oral mucosa. subsequent analysis has shown that this is not a diagnostic feature for distinguishing between these two highly similar species however, and more research will be needed to produce reliable morphological characters with which these two species may be distinguished. phylogenically, "u. sameiti" has been placed within a monophyletic complex consisting of three other species of "uroplatus": "u. fimbriatus", "u. giganteus", "u. henkeli", and "u. sikorae". this complex represents the larger species of the genus. "u. sameiti" are nocturnal and arboreal geckos. their eyes are large, lidless, and have yellow sclera with elliptical pupils, suited for the gecko's nocturnal habits. this species ranges in size from when measured from nose to base of the tail. they spend most of the daylight hours hanging vertically on tree trunks, head down, resting. during the night, they will venture from their daylight resting spots, and go off in search of prey. as with all "uroplatus" geckos, the tail is dorso-ventrally flattened. "u. sameiti" has colouration developed as camouflage, most being grayish brown to black or greenish brown with various markings meant to resemble tree bark; down to the lichens and moss found on the bark. "u. sameiti" has flaps of skin, running the length of its body, head and limbs, known as the "dermal flap", which it can lay against the tree during the day, scattering shadows, and making its outline practically invisible. additionally, the gecko has a limited ability to alter its skin colour to match its surroundings. "u. sameiti" are insectivores eating insects, other arthropods, and also land snails. "uroplatus sameiti" is found exclusively in the lowland humid and littoral forest of eastern madagascar. it is unknown how many of these geckos are present in the pet trade, due to their overall similarity with "u. sikorae", and the new confusion that has arisen in light of the non-diagnostic nature of their oral mucosa. however, like "u. sikorae", this species is typically kept in breeding pairs or trios. they eat a variety of appropriately sized insects including crickets and moths, and will also eat snails if provided. if breeding is successful in captivity, eggs will be laid every 30 days and take 90 days to hatch. habitat destruction and deforestation in madagascar is the primary threat to this animal's future as well as collection for the pet trade. the world wide fund for nature (wwf) lists all of the "uroplatus" species on their "top ten most wanted species list" of animals threatened by illegal wildlife trade, because of it "being captured and sold at alarming rates for the international pet trade". it is a cites appendix 2 protected animal. thủ thiêm is a ward () of district 2 in ho chi minh city, vietnam. shireen bailey ( hassan, born 27 september 1959) is an

in the civil parish of santa bárbara de nexe, in the municipality of faro. it is strongly associated with its rich history in stone, as well as its traditional new year's songs/chants (the "charoles") and history as the centre of the accordion musicians in portugal. a human presence in the parish remotes to the transition between the middle and late paleolithic epoch (some 30000 years ago). but, the first references to the community of bordeira occurred between 1567 and 1568: in 1567, vasco martins, an inhabitant from bordeira bought a bull to help cultivate his land, from joão nobre (an inhabitant from corotelo); and, in 1568, joão vasques formoso, another dweller in the region moved his stakes to gorjões. in the 17th and 18th century, there were other names referred to as bordeira in the territory: parreiras de bordeira and poço de bordeira, and later barranco de bordeira and bordeira de além in the 19th century. in 1742, a contract between the third order of our lady of mount carmel and master mason diogo tavares was signed. in it, tavares would supply limestone from borderira for paving stone in the church of carmo in faro. this documented the long and intimate relationship between the territory of bordeira and the civil parish of santa bárbara de nexe, known for the extraction and transformation of stone, used for architectural projects in the parish. by 1839, borderira and goldra were the two communities in the parish with the most number of homes: 74 dwellings in both (with 70 in gorjões and santa bárbara de nexe, each). in the 20th century, the charolas were a force binding the community and social identity of santa bárabara das nexes, especially in bordeira. around 1918, the charola "mocidade união" ("youth union"), was founded to provide an organized forum for the traditional new year's event, and allowed them to express and affirm the local collective identity. this included festivals, improvisations, the liveliness of the music, the evocation of tradition, friendship, unity and fraternity. this was followed in 1919 by the creation of the "união bordeirense". in 1921, the "cooperativa de consumo a bordeirense" ("bordeirense consumeer cooperative") was created to produce and promote local products (one of the oldest of this type in portugal). the "sociedade do carro funerário " ("funerary car society") was established in 1923, to transport the dead to the cemetery of santa bárbara de nexe (eventually closing in 1960). the 20th century was a period of growth and development, with many institutions and organizations developing at the time. in 1926 the "sindicato dos cortadores e limpadores de árvores de bordeira" ("tree cutters and cleaners sindicate") was created just before the sequence of events that would result in the imposition of the military coupe, while the "cooperativa do lagar de azeite" ("olive oil cooperative"), which functioned until the 1970s, was founded in 1940. on 28 march 1936 the "sociedade recreativa bordeirense" ("bordeirense recreative society") was created to promote the local culture and active life, while the at the time of its second census (1940), bordeira was one of the more populous sites in the civil parish, with 875 inhabitants (comprising 17% of the parishes population), followed by gorjões (701 residents) and goldra (570 residents). the primary school in the place was installed in 1953, inaugurated in may, on lands offered by josé de sousa gago, then the first school in the parish. to complement these local activities, a health centre was installed in 1988. it is sometimes recognized as the "capital of the accordion" for the many composers and musicians who created music for this instrument. among the maestros, josé ferreiro (author of "alma algarvia"), and joão barra bexiga, in addition to many musicians born in or around bordeira (including joão bexiga, daniel rato, jorge ferreira, nephew of josé ferreiro, antónio madeirinha, who lived in an area called "alface". for some time other musicians lived in the area, attracted by the influences of this community, including "eugénia lima", influenced by josé ferreiro and son. along "rua josé ferreiro pai", nelson conceição operated an accordion school, eventually winning the "italia award", for his contribution to portuguese music. ”get on” is a song written and recorded by the finnish rock band hurriganes in september 1974. it appeared on their second album, entitled "roadrunner". it was originally supposed to be just a filler, as the number of tracks recorded at that stage was deemed insufficient to fill a complete album. according to remu aaltonen, both the music and the words were the result of improvisation, when producer richard stanley wanted the band to come up with one more song. however, according to richard stanley, the band had been playing the song live already during the previous summer, months before the recording sessions in stockholm. there exist recordings made by people in the audiences during the summer of 1974, and the song appears on these recordings. the words of this song consist of some kind of “rock esperanto”. there are words and phrases from the english language, but also non-sense words, and the syntax of proper english is not used systematically. also, it is not possible to assign a sensible meaning to the lyrics. this situation arose from the deficient knowledge of english by the singer, remu aaltonen. the words were supposed to be replaced later by proper english, and remu’s words were only meant for a demo recording. however, the other members of the band, as well as the producer, thought that the delivery was strong, and decided to stick to those words, despite opposition from remu aaltonen. the unique words are part of the charm of the song. the guitar intro is a version of the intro of chuck berry’s “johnny b. goode”, as remu instructed albert järvinen to kick the song off with this riff. the rhythm guitar the vocal harmonies of the middle eight were overdubbed, otherwise the song was recorded in one take. “get on” is one of the best known songs by hurriganes. it is usually heard on every gig that the band plays. it is often among the top songs when finnish rock songs are discussed in the media, and it was voted the best hurriganes song in the vote “the greatest bands” of the finnish radio station radio rock. the song won the "european pop jury" competition in 1974. the song has been played by kevin russell shackelford (born april 7, 1989) is an american professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. shackelford attended marshall university, where he played college baseball for the marshall thundering herd. he played as a catcher for his first two seasons at marshall, batting .095/.156/.119 in 2008, and hitting .226/.280/.321 in 2009. he then became a pitcher. in 2010 he was 1-1 with a 7.50 era in 19 games. the milwaukee brewers selected shackelford in the 21st round of the 2010 mlb draft. playing for the azl brewers of the arizona league in 2010, he was 1-2 with a 5.40 era. the next season for the helena brewers in the advanced rookie pioneer league, he was 3-5 with a 4.15 era. playing for the wisconsin timber rattlers of the class a midwest league in 2012, the timber rattlers won the midwest league championship. in 2013, the brewers assigned shackelford

company in january 1947 using parts from i-10sa class 2-8-0 consolidation number 2044. the locomotive that became 2124 was originally built as reading company class i-10sa 2-8-0 number 2044 in 1924. starting in 1945, reading began building a new class of 4-8-4 northern-type locomotives using the boilers and fireboxes from the i-10sas, designating these new locomotive the t-1 class. 2044 underwent this rebuild in late 1946 and emerged in january 1947 as the number 2124. for the majority of its working life, the 2124 was used on freight trains, primarily coal trains throughout various parts of the reading's network before being retired from active service in 1956. the 2124 was brought back into service in october 1959 to pull a series of railfan excursions known as the "iron horse rambles." in december 1959, shortly after the beginning of the iron horse rambles, 2124 was filmed at the central railroad of new jersey terminal for the mark robson film, from the terrace. in 1963, 2124's flue time ran out and it was retired from active service and was sold to locomotive collector and owner of blount seafood, f. nelson blount for his steamtown, usa, museum in north walpole, new hampshire, later relocated across the connecticut river to bellows falls, vermont. the 2124 was displayed in vermont until steamtown moved to scranton, pennsylvania, during the winter of 1983–84. in 1986, steamtown was taken over by the national park service and became steamtown national historic site. 2124 was placed on display near the entrance to the park and was one of the first things visitors would see upon entering the park. in 2010, the 2124 was removed from its longtime display spot and moved into steamtown's back-shops in order to have its asbestos insulation removed. the 2124 also received a cosmetic restoration and was returned to the parking lot display track. spikes is the surname of: michael sweeney was an irish-american track and field athlete. he was the high jumping

him, mclachlan was educated at st. peter's college, adelaide, and jesus college at the university of cambridge. he made his first-class cricket debut for cambridge university in his freshman year, 1964, taking 4 for 41 with "excellent leg-spin bowling" against northamptonshire. two games later he took 4 for 36 and 1 for 36 in an innings victory over combined services. he kept his place in the team for the rest of the season, playing in the annual match against oxford university at lord's. he finished the season with 18 wickets at 33.55. although his bowling "did not come up to expectations" and was "often expensive" in 1965, he played most of cambridge's matches and once again appeared against oxford at lord's. his best figures were 4 for 101 against yorkshire. he finished 1965 with 14 wickets at 42.42. in 1966 the captain, deryck murray, refused to allow players to play at all if they did not make themselves available for the whole season, and having devoted himself to his studies during the early weeks of the season, mclachlan was not selected for any matches. in 1971, at the age of 26, mclachlan took charge of the family sheep station, rosebank, in the mount pleasant area of the adelaide hills in south australia. he also owned the victorian sheep station liewah, near swan hill, until 2008. rosebank is a prominent merino stud. spike is the surname of:

out of kauai high school in lihue, hawaii. he did not sign and attended yavapai college. he missed both the 2006 and 2007 seasons due to tommy john surgery. after going undrafted in 2009, yates signed with the tampa bay rays. in 2012, yates reached the double-a level with the montgomery biscuits, where he had a 2.65 era and 94 strikeouts in 68 innings over 50 games. yates was a triple-a all-star in 2013, putting up a 1.90 era in 51 games for the durham bulls. yates was added to the rays 40-man roster on november 20, 2013. yates was called up to the majors for the first time on june 7, 2014 and made his debut that day. in 37 games, he posted an era of 3.75 in 36 innings, striking out 42. the following season he struggled, posting an era of 7.97 in innings for the major league club as he shuttled back and forth between tampa and durham. the rays designated yates for assignment after the 2015 season. on november 25, 2015, the rays traded yates to the cleveland indians for cash considerations. yates was subsequently designated for assignment on january 5, 2016. on january 8, 2016, the indians traded yates to the new york yankees in exchange for cash considerations. yates made the yankees' opening day roster in 2016. yates pitched in relief for the yankees for most of the season, although he was optioned to triple-a scranton/wilkes-barre on june 28, and then recalled on august 17. in 41 games for the yankees, he posted an era of 5.23 and 50 strikeouts in innings. after the 2016 season, the los angeles angels claimed yates from the yankees on waivers. he was designated for assignment on april 2, 2017, after failing to secure a spot in the angels bullpen during spring training, and he was outrighted from the 40-man roster and sent to the triple-a salt lake bees after clearing waivers on april 5. yates made his angels debut as a reliever on april 22 against the toronto blue jays but was designated for assignment the next day. on april 26, 2017, yates was

blockchain network aims to achieve distributed consensus. in pos-based cryptocurrencies the creator of the next block is chosen via various combinations of random selection and wealth or age ("i.e.," the stake). in contrast, the algorithm of proof-of-work-based cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin uses mining; that is, the solving of computationally intensive puzzles to validate transactions and create new blocks. proof of stake must have a way of defining the next valid block in any blockchain. selection by account balance would result in (undesirable) centralization, as the single richest member would have a permanent advantage. instead, several different methods of selection have been devised. nxt and blackcoin use randomization to predict the following generator by using a formula that looks for the lowest hash value in combination with the size of the stake. since the stakes are public, each node can predict—with reasonable accuracy—which account will next win the right to forge a block. peercoin's proof-of-stake system combines randomization with the concept of "coin age", a number derived from the product of the number of coins multiplied by the number of days the coins have been held. coins that have been unspent for at least 30 days begin competing for the next block. older and larger sets of coins have a greater probability of signing the next block. however, once a stake of coins has been used to sign a block, it must start over with zero "coin age" and thus wait at least 30 more days before signing another block. also, the probability of finding the next block reaches a maximum after 90 days in order to prevent very old or very large collections of stakes from dominating the blockchain. this process secures the network and gradually produces new coins over time without consuming significant computational power. incentives differ between the two systems of block generation. under proof of work, miners may potentially own none of the currency they are mining and thus seek only to maximize their own profits. it is unclear whether this disparity lowers or raises security risks. under proof of stake, however, those "guarding" the coins always own the coins, although several cryptocurrencies do allow or enforce the lending of staking power to other nodes. some authors argue that proof of stake is not an ideal option for a distributed consensus protocol. one issue that can arise is the "nothing-at-stake" problem, wherein block generators have nothing to lose by voting for multiple blockchain histories, thereby preventing consensus from being achieved. because unlike in proof-of-work systems, there is little cost to working on several chains. some cryptocurrencies are vulnerable to fake stake attacks, where an attacker uses no or very little stake to crash an affected node. notable attempts to solve these problems include: suman adhikary is an indian film director, actor, producer and screenwriter. he was born in calcutta in 1985. he graduated from the west bengal university of technology and then completed an mba from amity university, uttar pradesh. he started making documentaries in 2008 and worked with theatre groups in calcutta. he also spent some time as an editor and actor. he made his first documentary, "ekhono tanchhi", in 2008, about hand-pulled rickshaws in calcutta. he has since made four short films—"unseen" (2010), "countdown" (2011), "my precious gift" (2012), and "resurrection" (2013)—and is working on a feature film, "photographer" (post production). he is now working on another feature film based on folk culture. the men's college basketball program of the drexel university was founded in 1894 and is known competitively as the drexel dragons. the team has had 26 head

helping children and developing leadership skills in younger adults ages 20–39. in the united states and canada the organization is called the active 20-30 club and has over 50 local chapters. in latin america the group is called activo 20-30 internacional and has over 60 chapters. the active 20-30 club is also a member of a global group called the woco foundation. active 20-30 international is the result of the fusion of two clubs, active international and 20-30 international. both were created to give younger adults the opportunity to lead, as leadership positions in established service clubs at that time were dominated by older men. active international was founded in aberdeen, washington february 10, 1922, as the active club. a group of young men including ernest axland, paul arthand, carl morck, carl springer, carl teman, edgar jones and pat mcnamara were eager to give the young men a more active part in the affairs of the community. thus, they formed together to establish a young men's club which they named "active". active was incorporated under the laws of the state of washington on august 20, 1924. before long, active clubs were formed in elma, hoquiam, montesano and olympia. in 1925 the first convention was held in montesano, washington, with carl morck of aberdeen being elected as president. in the same year, the name of the organization was officially changed from active club to active club international. the national offices of active international have been located in aberdeen, tacoma, raymond and spokane, washington; portland, oregon; and vancouver, british columbia, canada. 20-30 international was founded in sacramento, ca in the fall of 1922. paul w. claiborne was just twenty years of age when he conceived the idea of forming a service club whose members would consist of young men. together with earl b. casey, alfred b. franke, charles g. mcbride and marshall a. page, he went with his idea to mitch nathan, the president of the sacramento chamber of commerce. nathan approved of his plan and appointed a committee to foster the formation of a club whose activities would aid the growth and advancement of young men. this committee consisted of f.a.s. "sandy" foale, chairman; charles hansen, clinton harbor, joseph quire and mrs. alva archer. a meeting was held in the chamber of commerce building on tuesday, december 12, 1922, with judge peter j. shields as the speaker. it was decided to proceed with the organization work immediately. upon the suggestion of sandy foale, the name 20-30 was adopted. an organizational meeting was held on december 19, 1922, and paul claiborne was unanimously elected as the first president. sandy foale was named chairman of the advisory board. after the sacramento club had established itself, 20-30 began to expand to new areas. on march 10, 1924, the stockton, ca club was chartered with the assistance of the rotary club in stockton. g. lewis fox was elected president, and dr. hall was named chairman of the advisory board. a meeting between sacramento and stockton was held on march 5, 1925, and they created the 20-30 club executive council to help with expansion to other cities. in august 1925, the third club, san bernardino, california, becomes affiliated with the organization. during 1926, 20-30 clubs were formed in san francisco, hayward, tracy and oakland. delegates from the seven clubs met in san francisco on august 21, 1926. this was the first convention of 20-30. a constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected: sumner mering, president; tom louttit, vice president; ivan shoemaker, secretary/treasurer. in june 1929, active international became international in fact, as well as in name, with the chartering of the vancouver international club in vancouver, british columbia, canada. active clubs soon spread through washington, oregon, california and montana in the united states and the provinces of british columbia and alberta in canada. clubs were also located in idaho, hawaii and washington d.c. from 20-30's inception in 1922 until december 1941, charters were granted to 260 clubs and a total membership of 4,675 was attained. during the war years, approximately 65 percent of the membership served in the armed forces. this compelled 68 clubs to disband and decreased the number of active clubs to 122 with active membership at 1,800. in many cases the clubs were kept on active status by one or two members who maintained the charter. the official start of international expansion started is up for debate. it was widely believed that with the chartering of the juarez club on february 16, 1944, so started the movement of 20-30 in mexico and latin america. however, new evidence points to the first real international presence beginning in 1933 when the el paso, texas, club was chartered and possibly the juarez, mexico club as well. it was a result of the juarez charter and that of other mexican clubs that the name of the association was changed to 20-30 international at the 1946 victory convention. both 20-30 international and active international where chartered members of the world council of young men's service clubs. john armenia, joe crowe and arnie scheldt of active and dr. james vernetti, henry heyl and ray fletcher of 20-30 were among those who fostered the world council movement up to its formal beginning in 1945. in 1959 president norm morrison of 20-30 and president ken helling of active exchanged a letter and renewed the long-standing proposal that these two almost identical young men's service clubs should merge. throughout 1959 and 1960 meetings were held between the two groups, culminating in the proposed constitution, and resolution to be presented to the 1960 conventions of each organization. at the 20-30 international convention held in santa cruz, ca in 1960, the delegates unanimously adopted the merger proposal and the constitution. one month later, the delegates at the active international convention in calgary, alberta, also unanimously adopted the propositions. therefore, on august 1, 1960, active international and 20-30 international became active 20-30 international. the first convention of active 20-30 international was held in tucson, az, july 10–14, 1961, where the constitution and by-laws were officially adopted. jack kummert was elected president; federico g. lugo as first vice-president; james robertson as second vice-president. clint mcclure and owen barnes, the last presidents of 20-30 and active respectively, stayed as members of the international directors council as immediate past presidents. other members of the first council of directors of active 20-30 international were: ray manges, area 1; norm jensen, area 2; skeet glidewell, area 3; forrest k. stewart, area 4; roy stype, area 5; emilio pérez-banuet, area 6; joaquin bours, associate director of area 6; angel moreno, area 7 and bob baumgartner, area 8. its presence became so large, that the state of california and governor ronald reagan declared february 20–26, 1967 "active 20-30 week" the original active international and 20-30 international clubs started as a result of younger members of other service organizations finding that most leadership positions in those organizations were held and reserved for, the older and more senior members. the idea of a time limit for membership was intended to help build leadership and responsibility. the club as a whole focuses on helping children, specifically those that have special needs or are disadvantaged. local clubs apply that focus to their specific cities and towns. the symbols and sayings of the organization are typically adaptations of those of active international and 20-30 international or a confluence of both. the active 20-30 international emblem is a buzz saw encircling an hourglass and inscribed "active 20-30 international." the emblem selected for active international was the buzz saw. the buzz saw is just about the most active object you can find anywhere. even when motionless, as it is on the emblem, it has the appearance of intense activity. since aberdeen was a lumber center and sawmills with humming saw blades were in evidence everywhere, it was only logical that the founders of active chose the buzz saw for their emblem. the buzz saw represents the usefulness of intense activity and the abundant energy of responsible youth, means power, strength, and progress. the emblem of 20-30 international was an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time and the need of young man to take advantage of his time and energy for useful activities. around this hourglass, there were four "s". the four "s" have a double significance since these were the initials of the first four 20-30 clubs (sacramento, stockton, san bernardino and san francisco) and they also form the initials of the original slogan "sincerity in service, our slogan for success". upon the merger, a new emblem was developed incorporating both. the 4 "s" were removed and the hourglass was placed within a 23 tooth buzzsaw. the mission statement is "providing young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendship and leadership development while improving the quality of life for the special needs children in our community." the club's motto is "youth, to be served, must serve" and variations on the club slogan include "one never stands so tall as when kneeling to help a child," "a man never stands so tall as when he kneels to help a child," "man never stands so tall as when kneeling to help a child," and "a person never stands so tall as when kneeling to help a child." the club's colors are red, blue, and gold. local clubs include women's chapters, men's chapters, and co-ed chapters. the age requirement to be a member is 20-39 to allow for youth leadership training. honorary members can be of any age. many active 20-30 clubs partner with other service clubs, such as kiwanis, rotary, lions club, and soroptimist, and active 20-30 club members often join these groups later on in life. the active 20-30 club is organized locally, nationally, and internationally. current active clubs in the united states and canada include: albuquerque, auburn, bakersfield, brentwood, carson valley, chico, denver, eugene, feather river valley, glendale, gold rush, greater folsom, greater roseville/so. placer co., greater sacramento, hangtown, healdsburg, madera, marysville/yuba city, merced, napa, north bay, petaluma, phoenix, redding, redwood empire, sacramento, santa rosa, scottsdale, seattle, sebastopol, southern arizona, tucson, valley of the sun. local chapters are divided into larger bodies. in the united states and canada, there are six regions: in latin america each country is divided into its own region known as an association. current active clubs in the latin america include: azua, baní, barahona, la vega, mao, moca, nagua, padre las casas, san francisco de macorís, santiago, santo domingo, san cristóbal, san juan de la maguana, villa vásquez san salvador, san miguel, san vicente, san salvador centro, usulután and san francisco gotera each country has their own national governing body. in the us & canada the composition is unique due to the considerable size and geographic reach of the association's membership. the national board is composed of the nine elected officers which include the regional directors (one per region), the national president-elect, national president and the immediate past national president as well as three appointed positions; national treasurer, executive director and the international relations officer (iro). in other countries the governing body is called the council of presidents. each individual club is represented by their president. also included is the national president-elect, national president and the immediate past national president as well as the appointed positions; national treasurer, national secretary and the international relations officer (iro) the international board for the international organization has representation by each national president and includes the international president-elect, international president as well as the appointed positions; international treasurer, international secretary and the international international relations officer (iro) the active 20-30 club is also

serbian nobleman and chronicler, a member of the branković dynasty as the eldest son of branko mladenović. he is remembered as the author of "gerasim's chronicle." in documents he was referred with one or two out of four different names he had during his life: nikola, radonja (radohna), roman and gerasim. radonja was a member of the branković dynasty as the eldest son of branko mladenović. radonja's younger brothers were vuk branković and grgur branković. he was married to jelena, a sister of uglješa mrnjavčević. radonja had a title of caesar () and controlled an estate in serres region where he and his wife jelena lived with their two daughters. when his wife and daughters died at very young ages, radonja resigned his feudal position and after autumn 1364 took monastic vows and name gerasim while his father branko mladenović was still alive. there he served and helped with great merit hilendar and also the monasteries of koutloumousiou and agiou pavlou monastery. thanks to the radonja's influence, vuk branković became the first of serbian feudal lords who gained ktitor's privileges in hilandar after the fall of the serbian empire, beginning in 1371. the earliest mention of radonja under his monastic name gerasim was in a charter of vuk branković issued to hilandar monastery in 1376/77. around 1380 radonja, together with arsenije bagaš, bought ruined agiou pavlou monastery from xeropotamou monastery and reconstructed it. in period 1379—89 radonja was a priest in the hilandar monastery and was again mentioned as gerasim, a brother of vuk branković, in the 1389 document written by prince lazar. there he achieved hieroschemamonk degree of eastern orthodox monasticism. around 1392 radonja and group of notable "elders" from hilandar visited court of the lazarević family, successors of prince lazar, and requested a church in ibar and its estates to be granted to hilandar, according to the promise given by its former lord, obrad dragoslavić. after the death of vuk branković in 1396, radonja took vuk's body to the agiou pavlou monastery on mount athos. radonja died on 3 december 1399 probably in agiou pavlou monastery. nikola radonja, as monk gerasim, was one of the people who appeared in the serbian 1389 historical drama/war film "battle of kosovo", in interpretation of the actor tanasije uzunović. according to some speculations, radonja was author of the gerasim's chronicle (), allegedly disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century, which supposedly explains that miloš killed sultan murad with a spear during the battle of kosovo in 1389. the women's 100 metre backstroke competition of the swimming events at the 1999 pan american games took place on 4 august at the pan am pool. the last pan american games champion was barbara

century utilities. corsell was recognized by mit as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35 in 2008. corsell was born in brooklyn, new york and raised in manhattan. corsell attended the edmund a. walsh school of foreign service at georgetown university where he earned a bsfs degree in 2000. in 1999, corsell was recruited by the central intelligence agency, where he worked in the cuba branch. from early 2001 to late 2002, corsell worked for the u.s. department of state in cuba, where he served as special assistant to ambassador vicki j. huddleston, the principal officer of the united states interests section in havana. at age 25, corsell founded gridpoint to develop energy management and renewable energy technologies. he served as the company’s ceo from 2003 until 2010, when he unexpectedly resigned amid a management shakeup during the cleantech industry crash. corsell was succeeded as ceo by longtime berkshire hathaway executive todd raba, who previously ran the midamerican energy company. during his tenure at gridpoint, corsell raised $250 million in venture capital and was featured in several books including "hot, flat, and crowded" by thomas friedman, "perfect power" by bob galvin and kurt yeager, "earth: the sequel" by fred krupp, "the clean tech revolution" by ron pernick and clint wilde, and "the plot to save the planet: how visionary entrepreneurs and corporate titans are creating real solutions to global warming" by brian dumaine. after leaving gridpoint, corsell cofounded hubub in 2011. hubub was a social community for internet users to explore and debate topics of interest. users created multimedia channels containing articles, images and videos on specific topics. in partnership with bell media, canada’s largest multimedia company, hubub developed a significant following in canada, and was featured in a 2015 super bowl commercial. in 2016, hubub was acquired by the stagwell group, the digital marketing services conglomerate founded by mark penn and backed by steve ballmer, and the company was renamed stagwell technologies. corsell is currently senior advisor to the stagwell group. in 2015, after a five-year absence from the energy industry, corsell cofounded twenty first century utilities, an investment firm seeking to acquire and modernize regulated electric utility companies. in june 2016, corsell and tfc utilities cofounder larry kellerman appeared on the charlie rose show to discuss the ways in which tfc utilities is contributing to the clean energy industry. in october 2015, tfc utilities acquired gridpoint for $62.5 million, enabling corsell to retake control of his first company. in 2017 and 2018, tfc utilities has been reported to be exploring electric utility acquisitions in hawaii, south carolina and bermuda. in 2008, mit technology review recognized corsell as one of the top 35 innovators in the world under the age of 35. in 2008, corsell was named chairman of the world

orientation, by the neuroscientist simon levay. the book was praised as a well-written work on science. however, some reviewers pointed out factual errors, and noted that levay failed to prove that homosexuality has a biological basis. levay discusses "brain mechanisms that are responsible for sexual behavior and feelings"; topics considered include sexual orientation, the evolutionary basis of sex, sexual development, the organization and development of the brain, the neural mechanisms associated with sexual intercourse, gender differences, and gender identity. levay expresses skepticism about the work of sigmund freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, writing that while he once accepted the freudian view that "a young child's relations with his or her parents play a decisive role" in the development of sexual orientation, he rejected it after he came to know large numbers of gay men and lesbian women. levay writes that he doubts that there is anything scientific about freud's ideas. he describes the functions of the hypothalamus, which plays a key role in, "sex, feeding, drinking, cardiovascular performance, control of body temperature, stress, emotional responses, growth, and many other functions". levay notes that his inah 3 study was his only publication on sex to that date, and that most of his previous research had been on the visual areas of the cerebral cortex. levay compares homosexuality to the disease sickle cell anemia, arguing that it may have persisted through a similar genetic mechanism. "the sexual brain" was first published in 1993 by mit press. "the sexual brain" received positive reviews from the journalist peter gorner in the "chicago tribune", kenneth mcleish in "the independent", the psychiatrist avodah k. offit in the "los angeles times", robert friar in the "journal of sex research", and the psychologist richard gregory in "the times literary supplement". the book received mixed reviews from the biologist anne fausto-sterling in "bioscience", the physician richard horton in "the new york review of books", michael j. baum in the "archives of sexual behavior", and from "publishers weekly". "the sexual brain" received two reviews in "new statesman and society", one from peter tallack and the other from david fernbach. other reviews included those by the physician lawrence d. mass in "the advocate", katherine livingston in "science", marian annett in the "times higher education supplement", the critic michael warner in "the village voice", the psychologist leonore tiefer in "psychology of women quarterly", and the historian of science daniel kevles in "the new yorker". mass subsequently commented that his review strained his relations with some of his colleagues, and that "the advocate"'s editors "severely truncated" the review, turning it from a "skeptical critique" into "a blurblike endorsement ... used to advertise the book." gorner considered the book well-written, and credited levay with merging "evolutionary theory, endocrinology, molecular genetics and cognitive psychology into a synthesis that is brilliant and entertaining." mcleish praised levay for his criticism of freud, and for outlining the "current state of knowledge and research on the neurobiology of sexuality" in a "lucid, friendly and comprehensible" style. however, he also wrote that levay's arguments about homosexuality "become a touch obsessive." offit called the book "elegant" and described it as "engaging and professional--a work of stunning scientific scholarship enhanced by gracious style and modesty." however, he noted that levay was not "able to "prove" the biological basis of homosexuality", and that levay's findings on inah 3 could "set us back as a society" by suggesting that homosexuality is abnormal. friar credited levay with "superb writing skills" and "comprehensive knowledge of neurobiology", and called his book "concise, thoughtful, informative" and "interesting". however, he criticized levay for giving insufficient attention to lesbianism, for the lack of illustrations in his book, and for using references sparingly. gregory wrote that the book was "very carefully written, with clear logical threads" and "the statement of a first-rate scientist on issues of personal and social importance". fausto-sterling described "the sexual brain" as well-written and "potentially appropriate for classroom use." however, she found that levay's accounts of reproductive physiology and the brain became weaker as he moved further away from neurobiology. she considered levay's account of "the embryonic development of gonads and genitalia" an example of this weakness, describing it as "extremely unsophisticated", and accusing levay of making inaccurate claims. she criticized levay's views on gender differences, including his belief "that female development is passive and preprogrammed ... and male development active", and for failing to cite critiques of that viewpoint. she gave levay credit for bringing "a wider range of evidence to bear in examining the interactions among hormones, the brain, and behavior" and citing less well-known work on this topic, and praised levay for "declaring his own gay identity", and called his treatment of the relevance of biology to homosexuality "appropriately cautious". horton described the book as persuasive and credited levay, along with other researchers, with helping make a strong but not definitive case that biological influences play an important or even decisive role in "determining sexual preference among males", and with "taking a "broad philosophical perspective in his discussion of human sexuality by placing his research in the context of animal evolution." he wrote that levay supported his contentious view that there are separate centers in the hypothalamus responsible for generating "male-typical and female-typical sexual behavior and feelings" with a wide range of sources, notably that concerning women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. though noting that levay acknowledged the limitations of his research, he criticized levay for having an unsubtle view of the meaning of "biologial influence" on sexual orientation that ignores the question of how genes produce an "unpredictable interplay of behavioral impulses", and engaging in "overstretched speculations" about "why a gene for homosexuality still exists when it apparently has little apparent survival value in evolutionary terms." he concluded that while levay's work "presents technical and conceptual difficulties" and his "preliminary findings obviously need replication or refutation" it "represents a genuine epistemological break away from the past's rigid and withered conceptions of sexual preference." baum described "the sexual brain" as engaging and readable, and ideal for educated laypeople. however, he criticized levay for being unaware of some relevant research, and making a number of factual errors, such as that orgasm is caused by the neurotransmitter oxytocin, that female rats fail to display maternal behavior after hypophysectomy, that lesions of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus reduce presentational behavior displayed by female monkeys, that antiandrogenic drugs block the masculinization of the sexually dimorphic subdivision of the medial preoptic area in male rats, and that vaginal olfactory cues are the primary determinants of masculine sexual arousal in male primates. "publishers weekly" described the book as an "expert, drily written, often technical account of the biological basis of human sexual behavior and orientation" and predicted that it would be equally as controversial as levay's "1991 science article describing a difference in the hypothalamic brain structure of homosexual and heterosexual men." in "the science of desire" (1994), the geneticist dean hamer credited levay with presenting evidence that supported the conclusion that inah 3 is connected to male sexual behavior in non-human animals. the queer theorist robert mcruer compared "the sexual brain" to the political scientist charles murray and the psychologist richard herrnstein's "the bell curve" (1994), arguing that just as murray and herrnstein presented inequality as inevitable rather than the consequence of economic institutions that could be changed, levay failed to question the institution of heterosexuality. the philosopher timothy f. murphy maintained in "gay science" (1997) that levay failed to show conclusively that the differences in brain structure he found between gay men and straight men were not due to aids. the biologist steven rose criticized the publicity that surrounded the publication of "the sexual brain", arguing that levay over-stated the importance of his findings, behavior which rose considered similar to that of researchers such as hamer. rose noted that the sexual orientation of the men in levay's hypothalamus study was presumed rather than demonstrated. the classicist bruce thornton questioned the value of levay's work, writing that while levay asserted that the future would bring progress in understanding the development of sexuality, it was uncertain what good such knowledge would accomplish. the psychiatrist and medical historian vernon rosario accused levay of biological determinism and reductionism. in "the mismeasure of desire" (1999), the philosopher edward stein criticized levay for failing to discuss social constructionism, despite its relevance to his topic. in the "british journal for the philosophy of science", the philosopher michael ruse described the book as a scientifically well known work. "the sexual brain" was also discussed by the psychologist elizabeth a. wilson in "substance". the anthropologist melvin konner described "the sexual brain" as a good introduction to the biology of gender and a useful guide for understanding the neuroscience of sexual arousal and associated behaviors. louis a. berman criticized levay for minimizing the role of experience in becoming an effective male partner in heterosexual intercourse. "kirkus reviews" wrote in 2010 that "the sexual brain" was "well received, but soon out of date" because of subsequent scientific research. the napa sentinel (often referred to as the napa valley sentinel) was a weekly newspaper published in napa, california. harry v. martin, who served 12 years on the napa city council, was its editor and publisher for 25 years. the minnesota library association (mla) is a professional association and state chapter of the american library association, headquartered in minneapolis, minnesota. mla's mission states: "the minnesota library association is an association of library supporters, representing all types of libraries by helping them accomplish together what none can do alone. mla serves the interests of its members by facilitating educational opportunities, supporting strong ethical standards, providing legislative assistance, and fostering connections between the library community and various constituencies." minnesota was one of the first states to establish a state library association, following new york, new hampshire, massachusetts, illinois, and new jersey as melvil dewey encouraged state library associations "to carry on the rapidly developing modern library work." the minnesota library association organized and held the first meeting on december 29, 1891, initiated by william watts folwell. the first officers elected at the 1891 meeting included william watts folwell (president), helen j. mccaine (vice president), and j.f. williams (secretary). the first meeting was publicized in an announcement in the st. paul pioneer press. the initial meeting was held at the minnesota historical society in st. paul, mn, and the purpose of the first meeting was to organize a state library association by using a plan recommended by the american library association. early meetings usually consisted of presented papers and discussions, and the 1896 annual meeting was collaborative with the minnesota education association. gratia countryman, secretary of mla at the time, elaborated, "early in the history of the association, librarians recognized that schools and libraries should cooperate closely as the two arms of the educational system." amendments to the mla constitution in 1898 allowed for membership to be extended to any individual interested in libraries, and it was determined that future annual meetings were to occur in october with locations determined by the executive committee. also important during this time period, mla passed two resolutions supporting legislation to establish a state library commission and create a system of traveling libraries. this bill was passed in 1899 and was considered a major accomplishment for mla. the minnesota public library commission began in 1900, and clara baldwin served as the first librarian. another resolution was passed in 1899 requesting that a library science course be added to the curriculum at the university of minnesota. this was approved, and courses were soon offered. various sections were created in the following years including trustees, traveling library, children’s librarians, public library, education, and college and reference librarians. the 1908 annual meeting occurred at the ala annual conference that was held at lake minnetonka. also during the early 1900s, mla had joint meetings with other state associations including the wisconsin library association in 1909 and the north dakota library association in 1910. membership originally was a one dollar fee with no annual dues. by 1898, annual dues were set at fifty cents. membership dues continued to increase, but as of 1910, there were 125 members. recruitment became a priority in 1921, only to be permanently tabled during the depression when new graduates could not find jobs. during and between the two world wars, mla made important administrative decisions that impacted its own structure, its relationships with the state of minnesota, and with the american library association. mla adopted a new constitution that redrafted the slate of officers, changed the makeup of the executive committee, and introduced institutional memberships. by 1939, members approved another new constitution. each successive constitution both reflected and defined mla’s activities. by-laws were added that named standing committees, detailed duties of the officers, and created procedures to establish sections. the mla continued to influence state legislation. it successfully recommended merging the public library commission with the minnesota department of education (1919), allowing small town school libraries to double as public libraries (1929), and requiring certification of school librarians (1935). in 1938-40 biennium, the library planning division worked with the library division of the mde to develop the first legislative platform. the american library association’s influence guided much of mla’s plans and decisions. mla followed ala’s lead on such issues as children’s services, certification and standardization. mla became a chapter of ala in 1921, and a leader in working with other state associations. since world war ii, mla has taken a stand on social issues by supporting a nuclear freeze (1983), exploring arbitration for non-union librarians (1976), and voicing support for independent booksellers (1987). in 1997 when heavy rains flooded many minnesota libraries, mla established a disaster relief fund. the following persons have been president of the association: la silla awards (premios la silla) are the awards granted by the asociación dominicana de profesionales de la industria del cine (adocine). the name of the awards is after the first dominican film of the same name in 1963 made by franklin domínguez . the first premiation were held on 17 november 2013 at the national theatre (teatro nacional) in santo domingo as part of the vii festival de cine global (global cinema festival) of

26, 1991), often referred to as michael a. taylor, is an american professional baseball center fielder for the washington nationals of major league baseball (mlb). taylor was drafted in the sixth round (172nd overall) of the 2009 mlb draft by the nationals. he made his mlb debut in 2014. taylor was born to military parents; his father, anthony taylor, was a logistics officer for 22 years in the u.s. army. taylor has four older sisters. he was a high school teammate of matt den dekker, with whom he would play for the washington nationals in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, while attending westminster academy. taylor was signed out of westminster academy as a shortstop in the 2009 major league baseball draft, after the washington nationals selected him with their sixth-round pick. he forwent a commitment to the university of north florida to go professional with the nationals. taylor did not make his minor league debut in the 2009 season but served as a versatile infielder for the gulf coast league nationals in 2010, committing 21 errors across three positions: shortstop, second baseman, and third baseman. he appeared in 38 games and batted .195 with one home run. at the beginning of fall instructional league play in 2010, taylor was told he would be switching positions from shortstop to center fielder, after a hand injury had limited his development in the infield in his first year in the nationals' minor league system. beginning at the class a hagerstown suns in 2011, taylor exclusively appeared as an outfielder, a trend that continued with the class a-advanced potomac nationals in 2012 and 2013. his offensive output improved as well, as he batted .263 with 10 home runs in 133 games with the potomac nationals in 2013, earning him honors as the team's player of the year, before heading to puerto rican winter baseball to play for the indios de mayaguez. taylor was added to the washington nationals' 40-man roster on november 20, 2013, after the end of the 2013 season. at the time, he ranked as the nationals' fourth-best prospect according to "mlb pipeline", and seventh-best according to "baseball america". on august 10, taylor was called up by the nationals when steven souza was placed on the 15-day disabled list. on august 12, he made his major league debut against the new york mets in citi field, where he collected his first major league hit, a single off pitcher rafael montero. he also hit his first major league home run, a two-run homer against pitcher carlos torres, that night. taylor was optioned back to the aaa syracuse chiefs on august 23, after the nationals selected veteran nate schierholtz's contract. he was again recalled after rosters expanded in september and was in center field on september 28, in the final game of the 2014 regular season, when jordan zimmermann completed the first no-hitter in nationals history. taylor was ranked third among nationals prospects by the end of 2014 by "mlb pipeline" and second by "baseball america". taylor opened the 2015 season as the nationals' starting center fielder while denard span was on the disabled list. despite starting the season well by sporting a .279 batting average, he was optioned to the class-aaa syracuse chiefs on april 19 to make room on the active roster for span. he was recalled on april 29 when reed johnson was placed on the disabled list. during an away game against the arizona diamondbacks on may 13, taylor substituted for right fielder bryce harper after harper was ejected in the seventh inning. in his first at-bat in the ninth inning, he came up with the bases loaded for the first time in his career and hit a go-ahead grand slam, effectively clinching the game for the nationals. on august 20, taylor hit the second-longest home run of the 2015 mlb season, crushing a pitch from colorado rockies starter yohan flande 493 feet into the stands at coors field. taylor suffered a right knee injury on august 27 after slamming into the wall while attempting to run down a line drive off the bat of melvin upton, jr., but he was healthy enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in the tenth inning against the atlanta braves on september 4. he hit a three-run home run for a walk-off victory over the visiting braves. on september 8, taylor hit a "little league grand slam" off of new york mets pitcher matt harvey after a bases-loaded single got by center fielder yoenis céspedes and went to the wall. he was not credited with an inside-the-park home run, with an error being charged to céspedes on the play. taylor himself allowed an inside-the-park grand slam on a similar play just weeks later, as he dove and missed a ball hit by philadelphia phillies rookie aaron altherr in a september 25 game, unloading the bases and allowing altherr to score on his own hit. the play was scored a home run for altherr. taylor finished the 2015 season batting .229/.282/.358 with 14 home runs, 16 stolen bases, and a .640 on-base plus slugging percentage in 472 at bats over 138 games. taylor opened the 2016 season as the washington nationals' fourth outfielder, but an opening day injury to starting center fielder ben revere quickly thrust him into an everyday spot in the lineup. on june 22, taylor had what a writer for the new england sports network described as possibly "the worst game in baseball history." he had five swinging strikeouts against the los angeles dodgers and a fielding error that cost the nationals the game when he failed to get his glove to the ground in time while charging a routine groundball hit by yasiel puig in the bottom of the ninth inning. the nationals were up by one run, 2–3, and the error resulted in taylor's future nationals teammate howie kendrick, who was on first base for the dodgers at the time, and puig both scoring for a walk-off los angeles victory. taylor was optioned to the syracuse chiefs to make room for the reactivation of closer jonathan papelbon on july 4, but he was recalled after appearing in just one game for the chiefs after first baseman ryan zimmerman was placed on the disabled list on july 8. taylor's return to the major leagues was short-lived, however, as he was optioned back to syracuse after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss against the san diego padres on july 24. taylor rejoined the major league team after a little more than a month with the chiefs, where he posted a meager .205 batting average over 31 games, being recalled august 29. he found himself once again relegated to a bench role, with rookie trea turner taking over in center field for the ineffectual revere. he finished out the season batting .231./278/.376 with a .654 on-base plus slugging percentage, seven home runs, and 16 stolen bases in 221 at bats in 76 major league games, and he was among the players named to the nationals' playoff roster in the 2016 national league division series, where he received two at-bats and struck out in both appearances. coming off what he described as a "pretty disappointing" 2016 season, taylor found himself in the familiar role of backup outfielder for the nationals in the 2017 season, with adam eaton taking over in center field and trea turner shifting to the shortstop position. however, for the third straight season, taylor found himself in the role of everyday center fielder after the presumptive starter was injured early in the year, with eaton tearing ligaments in his knee while running the bases in late april. given regular playing time, taylor resurrected a batting average that had hovered below .200 in limited appearances prior to eaton's season-ending injury, hitting .290 in may and june while demonstrating above-average power. taylor landed on the major league disabled list for the first time in his career on july 7 with an oblique strain. he spent more than a month on the disabled list, with rookie brian goodwin taking over as the nationals' regular center fielder in taylor's absence. upon taylor's return to the team on august 13, after rehab assignments with the minor league potomac nationals and harrisburg senators, taylor reclaimed his spot in the starting lineup. two years to the day after his "little league grand slam" against the new york mets, on september 8, 2017, taylor hit a bases-loaded line drive to center field off philadelphia phillies pitcher jake thompson that a leaping odubel herrera was unable to snare. taylor circled the bases on the play, which was scored an inside-the-park grand slam — the first in major league baseball since aaron altherr's on september 25, 2015. in the same game, taylor also singled twice and tripled, driving in a total of five runs, and recorded an outfield assist at home to preserve the nationals' lead in the eventual 11–10 victory. taylor finished the regular season batting .271/.320/.486 with 19 home runs, 53 rbis, and 17 stolen bases in 399 at bats. in game 4 of the 2017 nlds against the chicago cubs, taylor hit a grand slam to put the nationals ahead 5-0 and stave off elimination. it was the first grand slam in nationals post-season history. taylor hit a go-ahead three-run homer on the second inning of game 5 (which the nationals ultimately lost 9-8). in 2018 taylor struggled at the plate to start the season, batting .223 in april and .183 in may, but hit his stride in june, batting .444. he also led the major leagues in stolen bases as late as june 21. however, taylor lost significant playing time due to the return of adam eaton and the strong performance of juan soto, relegating taylor to fourth outfielder status. taylor struggled again at the plate with limited playing time in the second half of the season, and finished 2018 batting .227/.287/.357, with six home runs, 28 rbis, and 24 stolen bases in 363 at bats. in the 2018-2019 offseason, taylor worked with nationals hitting coach kevin long to change his stance and swing to generate more contact, and practiced his new swing in the dominican winter league. nationals general manager mike rizzo said in december 2018 that he believes taylor could be a five-tool player if he can make more contact. in 2019 he batted .250/.305/.364 with one home runs and three rbis. in game 2 of the 2019 world series, taylor hit a solo home run in the top of the 9th, becoming the 39th player to homer in their first ever world series at-bat. with the home run the nationals became the first team in world series history to have a home run in the 7th, 8th and 9th innings of a game. wonder women! the untold story of american superheroines is a

west midlands of england gained national media coverage at the 1964 general election, when peter griffiths of the conservative party gained the seat against the national trend, amidst controversy concerning racism. after the second world war, smethwick attracted a significant number of immigrants from commonwealth countries, the largest ethnic group being sikhs from the punjab in india. there was also a background of factory closures, and a growing waiting list for local council housing. griffiths ran a campaign critical of both the opposition, and the government's, immigration policies. the conservatives were widely reported as using the slogan "if you want a nigger for a neighbour, vote labour" but colin jordan, leader of the neo-nazi british movement, claimed that his members had produced the initial slogan as well as spread the poster and sticker campaign; jordan's group in the past had also campaigned on other slogans, such as: "don't vote – a vote for tory, labour or liberal is a vote for more blacks!". griffiths denied that the slogan was racist, saying that: the 1964 general election had involved a nationwide swing from the conservatives to the labour party; which had resulted in the party gaining a narrow five seat majority. however, in smethwick, the conservative candidate, griffiths gained the seat and unseated the sitting labour mp, patrick gordon walker, who had served as shadow foreign secretary for the eighteen months prior to the election. griffiths did, however, poll 436 votes less in 1964 than when he stood unsuccessfully for the smethwick constituency in 1959: figures nevertheless show that votes for labour's patrick gordon walker had been in decline from the 1950 general election onwards, culminating in this 1964 defeat by peter griffiths. see smethwick (uk parliament constituency) for details. following the election result, a british branch of the ku klux klan was formed, and black and ethnic minority residents in the area had burning crosses put through their letterboxes. peter griffiths was declared "a parliamentary leper" by harold wilson, the new labour prime minister. griffiths, in his maiden speech to the commons, pointed out what he believed were the real problems his constituency faced, including factory closures and over 4,000 families awaiting council accommodation. patrick gordon walker subsequently lost the 1965 leyton by-election, in a usually safe labour seat, and the election result meant that malcolm x would visit smethwick to show solidarity with the black and minority ethnic communities in the area (in particular, the black and asian community). nine days after he visited marshall street in smethwick, malcolm x was shot dead in new york. the labour party regained the seat at the 1966 general election when andrew faulds became the new member of parliament. malcolm's visit to smethwick was "no accident"; an official policy of racial segregation was attempted to be put into place in smethwick's housing allocation, with houses on marshall street in smethwick being let only to white british residents. in 1964, a delegation of white residents successfully petitioned the conservative council to compulsorily buy vacant houses to prevent non-whites from buying the houses. this, however, was prevented by labour housing minister richard crossman, who refused to allow the council to borrow the money in order to enact their policy. the actions taken have been described as "ugly tory racism" which "killed rational debate about immigration". however, colour bars were then common, preventing non-whites from using facilities. the labour club in smethwick operated one, as did the local sandwell youth club, which was run by one of the town's labour councillors. the

acquired three class hc tank locomotives with a 0-6-0 wheel arrangement for lease to the otavi mining and railway company. two more entered service in 1910 and 1911, and a sixth was acquired new by the south african railways in 1923. three narrow gauge 0-6-0 tank steam locomotives were built by henschel and son in germany in 1907 for the german administration in german south west africa (gswa). their works numbers were in the range from 8334 to 8336. the engines were designated class hc and numbered in the range from 81 to 83. the locomotives used allan valve gear. their small coal bunkers had a capacity of only , while the water capacity of their side tanks was . the "hc" classification identified the type as the third class to have been built for gswa by henschel, probably excluding locomotives which were no longer in service by the time the first world war broke out. they were leased to the otavi mining and railway company who operated a narrow gauge railway across the namib desert between swakopmund and tsumeb. in 1910 and 1911, two more class hc locomotives, no. 104 with works number 10415 and no. 106 with works number 10765, were delivered by henschel for service on the otavi railway. they were employed as shunting locomotives at otavi. during the first world war, the former german colony came under south african administration and the railways in gswa came under control of the union defence forces. control of all railway operations in south west africa (swa) was passed on from the military to the director of railways in windhoek on 1 august 1915. on 1 april 1922, all the railway lines and rolling stock in the territory became part of the south african railways (sar). none of the five pre-war class hc locomotives survived the war into the sar era. in 1923, the sar ordered a new one, no. 84, which was built to the same design by henschel with works number 19765. this locomotive was not preserved and was presumably scrapped. the works numbers, years built and engine numbers of the class hc locomotives are listed in the table. patrick bowen schultz (born september 25, 1985) is an american professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. he has

fifa world cup was one of the groups of nations competing at the 1986 fifa world cup. the group's first round of matches began on 4 june and its last matches were played on 13 june. matches were played at the estadio la corregidora in querétaro and at the estadio neza 86 in nezahualcóyotl. impressive debutantes denmark topped the group, joined in the second round by west germany who would go on to reach the final. 3 red cards were handed out in this group, 2 of them against uruguay who made the second round but were criticized for their physical play, especially in their last group game against scotland were josé batista was sent off in under a minute. scotland captain and "hard man" souness excused himself for this vital game passing responsibility on to strachan and albiston. before the tournament, english-language media reported uruguay manager omar borrás's description of it as the "group of death", popularising a phrase first used in spanish in the 1970 world cup. the men's slalom competition of the lillehammer 1994 olympics was held at hafjell. the defending world champion was kjetil andré aamodt of norway, while sweden's thomas fogdoe was the defending world cup slalom champion and alberto tomba champion of the 1994 world cup. see elm creek (nueces river) for the tributary of the nueces river, in maverick county, texas. elm creek, is one of two streams of

the west virginia mountaineers. he is rated as the tenth best player (and #1 rated athlete) by espn and as a top-10 wide receiver by scout.com and rivals.com in the national high school class of 2015. he completed his junior season at east lake high school during the 2013–14 school year. he committed to michigan prior to his high school junior season, but decommitted following the season and committed to florida state seminoles, where he used 3 years of eligibility before graduating. he has also accepted an invitation to participate in the 2015 under armour all-america game. son of joyce nix and george campbell iii, george, at the age of 5 and after his father's imprisonment, developed a close bond with his uncle ahmad jackson. nix is a certified nurse. before his freshman season, he nearly attended clearwater central catholic high school, as well as img academy, but decided to attend his zoned school, east lake high school in tarpon springs, florida. as a freshman, he played varsity football for east lake, but mostly on defense. he had 1 reception for a 26-yard touchdown, 2 interceptions and 81 tackles, including 2 forced fumbles. that season east lake compiled a 9–4 record before losing in the 2011 florida high school athletic association (fhsaa) class 8a region final in overtime to plant high school on december 2, 2011. plant had won state championships in 2006, 2008 and 2009. plant went on to become state champion that year, marking four consecutive years it had reached a championship game. campbell accumulated statistics in 12 of the 13 games (not the november 4 game at palm harbor university high school). he was named a maxpreps 2011 u.s. air force freshman all-american first team selection at linebacker, although his true position was safety. he was not selected to the "tampa bay times" 2011 all-suncoast region football team for hernando, pasco, hillsborough and pinellas counties or even the "times" 2011 all-pinellas county football team. in 2012, east lake improved to 11–2, but again lost in the fhsaa class 8a region final, this time to dr. phillips high school on november 30 by a 31–21 margin. in the first game of the season, when starter artavis scott injured his ankle, campbell stepped in at wide receiver. later in the season, when the team struggled to get pressure on the quarterback, campbell moved from safety to defensive end. as a sophomore, his tackle total declined to 56, but his 764 receiving yards earned him 27 major division i scholarship offers. his offers included arkansas, auburn, boston college, clemson, florida, florida state, georgia, georgia tech, illinois, louisville, miami (fl), mississippi, mississippi state, north carolina state, notre dame, ohio state, south florida, tennessee, texas a&m, ucf, ucla, vanderbilt, west virginia. east lake junior offensive lineman mason cole committed to michigan's class of 2014 on february 25, which was one day before cole was invited to participate in the 2014 u.s. army all-american bowl. that year campbell played basketball and ran track for east lake before having surgery on his left wrist on april 19. the following summer, he ran a 4.36 second 40-yard dash. his 4.36 time was on artificial turf, while he was timed a 4.37 on grass on the same day. he was also measured at in his vertical leap. he was a second team all-suncoast region and first team all-pinellas county team selection. prior to his junior season, he verbally committed to the university of michigan where he would play for michigan wolverines football as a freshman for the 2015 team via twitter. at the time, he still attended east lake high school, where he was about to play his junior year for the 2013 football team. at the time of his july 27, 2013 verbal commitment, he was ranked as the number one athlete and number three player in the class of 2015 by espn. when scout.com released its first list of 5-star rated football players on august 12, 2013, campbell was included among the 20 players listed and the only wide receiver included. at the end of that summer prior to his junior year football season, he was one of two juniors selected to the 2013 "usa today" preseason all-usa team. he accepted an invitation to participate in the 2015 under armour all-america game in st. petersburg before the end of october 2013. the november 15 fhsaa class 7a region quarterfinal that east lake won 13–12 ended with an alleged punch by a palmetto high school coach that left campbell with a cut inside his mouth. other players were involved in the altercation, which is being investigated by the fhsaa. on november 19, 2013, espn moved campbell up to the number two overall position in the class of 2015. this moved him ahead of kevin toliver ii, but he remained behind jashon cornell. in campbell's third time in the fhsaa, east lake finally got past the regional finals (defeating port charlotte high school), only to lose the following week on december 6, 2013, in the state semifinals in overtime to dwyer high school 31–24, despite a 65-yard touchdown reception by campbell. following the season, campbell decommitted from michigan on december 13. he subsequently named the 10 schools he was considering, while excluding michigan on july 28, 2014. the 10 schools were lsu, alabama, florida, fsu, georgia, clemson, ucla, ole miss, auburn, and maryland. on september 5, he selected florida state. campbell spent four years at florida state. his best season was his junior season when he caught 6 passes for 122 yards. upon graduation, he announced his graduate transfer to penn state in february 2019. however, he ended up at west virginia university in june after failing to secure admission into a graduate program at penn state. jarret robert martin

schroederi (schroeder's tree iguana) is a species of lizard in the family iguanidae. the species is endemic to chile, with endemic occurrence noted in the chilean matorral. the specific name, "schroederi", is in honor of american ichthyologist william charles schroeder. dil hi to hai () is a 1992 bollywood romantic drama film directed by asrani starring jackie shroff and divya bharti in the leading roles. the film was a hit. king vikram singh (amjad khan) rules over a tiny state in india, called vikramgarh. his sons are the royal twin-brothers harshvardhan and govardhan (double role by jackie shroff). harshvardhan is the smarter one of them, hence he is regarded to become the future king of vikramgarh. the diwan thakur karan singh (kader khan) is his loyal friend who stays at the prince's side all the time to train him for his future duties. govardhan can have all the liberty he wants, while harshvardhan has to face his duties and hence cannot enjoy the same freedom. one day, when his marriage to jayshree (shilpa shirodkar) is planned, he decides to make his brother take his place, so harshvardhan and his diwan go to mumbai where harshvardhan meets bharati (divya bharti) and instantly falls in love and thus becomes the enemy of jack (gulshan grover) who plans on getting bharati for himself and marry her. born in tokyo, watabe debuted as an actor on television in 1991 with the drama "seishun no mon". he won awards of excellence in the best actor and new face categories at the 19th japan academy prize in 1996 for the film "shizukana seikatsu," juzo itami's

superannuation scheme for salaried public servants. it is in the australian prudential regulation authority (apra) top 15 super funds in australia with close to $44 billion aud in assets as at 30 june 2019 and nearly 100,000 members. state super members include nsw government employees and public sector employees including police, teachers, nurses and more. state super, also known as sas trustee corporation, closed the schemes to new members in the late 1980s and early 1990s but continues to manage the defined benefit super and pension schemes for all its members and supports them with retirement planning seminars, interviews and phone support. state super employees are guided by five well-defined member beliefs and are committed to always acting in members best interests. state super acknowledged its' centenary in 2019 with the announcement of the state super scholarship which will provide a pipeline of new research into the super, retirement and pension funding needs of public sector workers. located in clarence street, sydney, nsw, state super is led by chief executive officer john livanas and his executive team. chairperson nicholas johnson heads the state super board. state super is the trustee of the following defined benefit schemes: state authorities superannuation scheme (sass), state superannuation scheme (sss), and police superannuation scheme (pss). state super also manages the state authorities non-contributory superannuation scheme (sancs), which provides additional benefits to members of sass, sss and pss. the state super pooled fund comprises the assets of all four schemes. state super continues to look after past and present public sector and government workers of nsw and serves close to 100,000 members. state super owns a diversified

a diary, and a japanese american writer living on an island off british columbia who finds the diary washed up on shore some time after the 2011 tsunami that devastated japan. nao, a japanese american second generation or a teenage native californian girl, experiences the pain and discomfort of being uprooted from her home in silicon valley after her father loses his job, prompting her family's move back to tokyo. identifying as an american, feeling like "an ordinary california girl adopted by japanese parents," she feels alienated in her new environment and finds it difficult to relate to the japanese part of her identity. part of this discomfort derives from the fact that – unlike her parents, who identify as japanese and speak the language fluently – she only speaks japanese on a conversational level and has very limited knowledge about, as well as exposure to, the culture. identifying more as an american, she feels a complete discord with her surroundings, and feels as if her "life is unreal, and sunnyvale, which was real, was a jillion miles away in time and space, like the beautiful earth from outer space." she struggles in assimilating to a new, japanese environment and experiences the disorientation of being viewed as "the other" in the country of her ethnic heritage. her foreignness in japan, as an american, causes relentless bullying from her classmates at a public japanese school. not only does she have to grapple with her own social struggles, nao is also plagued with an unhappy family life. her father, unable to find a job in japan, falls into a state of depression – withdrawing from the world and going into a state of social seclusion, or hikikomori – and attempts suicide twice. her mother is constantly absent from the house, busy with her new job at a publishing firm, which she has taken up to compensate for her husband's unemployment. unable to find hope for the future in her current circumstances, nao is considering suicide when she first starts writing her diary at a french maid café in akihabara. before she takes her own life, nao is determined to document the life of her great grandmother, a buddhist nun who is more than one hundred years old. nao finds comfort in writing in her diary, addressing an imagined reader and friend. nao becomes distracted while she is writing the diary, however, and what she actually ends up doing is capturing her own life to readers. her diary entries cover a broad range of topics, and are characterized by their non-linear chronology; she jumps back in time to describe events that have taken place further back in the past, and makes frequent interjections – both to speak to the reader, and to send text messages to her grandmother. things start to look more positive after she spends a summer with her grandmother in sendai, however. jiko introduces nao to new concepts such as "zazen" and helps her find a way to seek spiritual solace from her turbulent daily life and allow her to gain psychological strength to deal with difficult circumstances. through jiko, nao forms a stronger connection to japan. while nao is in sendai, she also unravels some family history, finding out about her great-uncle's involvement in world war ii. on the other side of the pacific, ruth, a novelist living on a small island off the coast of british columbia, finds a hello kitty lunchbox washed up on the beach—possibly debris from the tsunami that struck japan in 2011. inside is nao's diary, and ruth becomes heavily invested in this narrative, and in finding out nao's fate. due to the geographic seclusion and rural nature of her home, ruth feels isolated from the rest of the world in her environment. she feels a strong connection to nao, and yearns to locate her in the real world in order to affirm her wellbeing. ruth succeeds in finding several traces of nao's father and great-grandmother online; however, her efforts to do so are continually thwarted. these attempts eventually culminate in a curious convergence between the two worlds. in the 1980s and 1990s, many assimilation and immigration narratives had been published within the canon of asian american women's literature; one example of such a novel is "jasmine". ozeki's novel, however, marks the emergence of new genre of narratives: the return narrative, which depicts immigrants' assimilation back into the country of their ethnic heritage. the men's combined competition of the lillehammer 1994 olympics was held at hafjell. the defending world champion was lasse kjus of norway, while luxembourg's marc girardelli was the defending world cup combined champion, and kjus shared the 1994 world cup with countryman kjetil andré aamodt. iceland's first ambassador to the soviet union was pétur benediktsson in 1944. iceland's last ambassador to the soviet union was ólafur egilsson in 1991. peter jackson (27 january 1926 – 8 december 2016) in london) was a british scholar, professional photographer and author, expert on felines, particularly tigers, born in london. jackson was the chairman of the iucn cat specialist group of the species survival commission between 1983 and 2000, and subsequently became chairman emeritus. he was a world-renowned tiger conservationist who was involved in tiger research and conservation efforts from the late 1960s. his interest in tigers arose during 18 years in india as a news correspondent, which led to work with wwf international, operation tiger, india's project tiger, and conservation programs in nepal, thailand and indonesia. peter jackson co-authored and co-edited several publications on big cats and tigers, including "tiger!" (1994) with simon barnes, "wild cats: status survey and conservation action plan", compiled and edited by kristin nowell and peter jackson (iucn 1996), and "riding the tiger: tiger conservation in human dominated landscapes" (cambridge university press 1999). jackson initially worked independently to promote tiger conservation. in 1983 he became the chair of the cat specialist group. he held this position for 17 years. in 2004 a newly established subspecies of the tiger, malayan tiger, was given a name "panthera tigris jacksoni" in honour of peter jackson. jackson died on 8 december 2016 at the age of 90. in mathematics, equivariant topology is the study of topological spaces that possess certain symmetries. in studying topological spaces, one often considers continuous maps formula_1, and while equivariant topology also considers such maps, there is the additional constraint that each map "respects symmetry" in both its domain and target space. the notion of symmetry is usually captured by considering a group action of formula_2 on formula_3 and formula_4 and demanding that formula_5 is equivariant under this action, so that formula_6 for all formula_7, a property usually denoted by formula_8 . heuristically speaking, standard topology views two spaces as equivalent "up to deformation," but equivariant topology considers spaces equivalent up to deformation so long as it pays attention to any symmetry possessed by both spaces. a famous theorem of equivariant topology is the borsuk–ulam theorem , which asserts that every formula_9-equivariant map formula_10 necessarily vanishes. an important construction used in equivariant cohomology and other applications includes a naturally occurring group bundle ( see principal bundle for details.) let us first consider the case where formula_2 acts freely on formula_3. then, given a formula_2-equivariant map formula_15, we obtain sections formula_16 given by formula_17, where formula_18 gets the diagonal action, formula_19 and the bundle is formula_20, with fiber formula_4 and projection given by formula_22. often, the total space is written formula_23 more generally, the assignment formula_24 actually does not map to formula_25 generally. since formula_5 is equivariant, if formula_27(the isotropy subgroup), then by equivariance, we have that formula_28, so in fact formula_5 will map to the collection of formula_30. in this case, one can replace the bundle by a homotopy quotient where formula_2 acts freely and is bundle homotopic to the induced bundle on formula_3 by formula_5. in the same way that one can deduce the ham sandwich theorem from the borsuk-ulam theorem, one can find many applications of equivariant topology to problems of discrete geometry. this is accomplished by using the configuration-space test-map paradigm: given a geometric problem formula_34, we define the "configuration space", formula_3, which parametrizes all associated solutions to the problem (such as points, lines, or arcs.) additionally, we consider a "test space" formula_36 and a map formula_37 where formula_38 is a solution to a problem if and only if formula_39. finally, it is usual to consider natural symmetries in a discrete problem by some group formula_2 that acts on formula_3 and formula_42 so that formula_5 is equivariant under these actions. the problem is solved if we can show the nonexistence of an equivariant map formula_44. obstructions to the existence of such maps are often formulated algebraically from the topological data of formula_3 and formula_46. an archetypal example of such an obstruction can be derived having formula_42 a vector space and formula_48. in this case, a nonvanishing map would also induce a nonvanishing section formula_49 from the discussion above, so formula_50, the top stiefel–whitney class would need to vanish. spirit fm is a network of christian radio stations in central missouri, broadcasting christian contemporary music, as well as some christian talk and teaching programs. spirit fm debuted in 1985, when its first station kcvo-fm in camdenton, near osage beach began broadcasting. spirit fm is currently heard on 11 full powered stations and 4 low powered translators. their combined footprint extends into portions of the columbia/jefferson city, springfield, kansas city and ottumwa, iowa markets. the women's 200 metre breaststroke competition of the swimming events at the 1999 pan american games took place on 3 august at the pan am pool. the last pan american games champion was lisa flood of canada. this race consisted of four lengths of the pool, all in breaststroke. all times are in minutes and seconds. the b final was held on august 3. the a final was held on august 3. hocus pocus is the score for the walt disney pictures halloween comedy film of the same name. it was composed and conducted by john debney. the original soundtrack was released on july 1, 1993 through promotional release by debney, containing 19 tracks from the film. several bootlegs were released on the internet, mainly because the promotional release misses the entire opening sequence music. on september 30, 2013, intrada records re-released a special edition containing the entire score from the film plus bonus material, including alternate takes of some tracks. in 1993, debney released an assembly of the score as a promotional album, which has since become a collector's item. the film did not have a soundtrack album available to the public until intrada records released their special complete edition in late 2013. as a result of the score being cut from its original running time of over 60 minutes down to 43 minutes in debney's promo, as well as all the music from the prologue sequence being removed, many bootleg recordings of the score began to appear across the internet, all of which contained all the music from the film in addition to never before heard alternates (some of which did not appear on the official release). the music was conducted by debney and orchestrated by brad dechter and don davis. james horner was originally slated to score the film, but became unavailable at the last minute, so debney had only two weeks to score the 96-minute film. prior to the production of the film, horner wrote a two-minute theme for sarah (commonly known as "come little children"), which ended up being used in the film, and featured in intrada's edition of the score (officially titled "sarah's theme"). the women's downhill competition of the lillehammer 1994 olympics was held at kvitfjell on saturday, 19 february. the defending world champion was kate pace lindsay of canada, while germany's katja seizinger was the defending world cup downhill champion and led the current season. seizinger won the gold medal, picabo street of the united states took the silver, and isolde kostner of italy was the bronze medalist. the course started at an elevation of above sea level with a vertical drop of and a course length of . seizinger's winning time was 95.93 seconds, yielding an average course speed of , with an average vertical descent rate of . the race was started at 11:00 local time, (utc +1). at the starting gate, the skies were clear, the temperature was , and the snow condition was hard; the temperature at the finish was lower, at . in category theory and homotopy theory the burnside category of a finite group "g" is a category whose objects are finite "g"-sets and whose morphisms are (equivalence classes of) spans of "g"-equivariant maps. it is a categorification of the burnside ring of "g". let "g" be a finite group (in fact everything will work verbatim for a profinite group). then for any two finite "g"-sets "x" and "y" we can define an equivalence relation among spans of "g"-sets of the form formula_1 where two spans formula_1 and formula_3are equivalent if and only if there is a "g"-equivariant bijection of "u" and "w" commuting with the projection maps to "x" and "y". this set of equivalence classes form naturally a monoid under disjoint union; we indicate with formula_4 the group completion of that monoid. taking pullbacks induces natural maps formula_5. finally we can define the burnside category "a(g)" of "g" as the category whose objects are finite "g"-sets and the morphisms spaces are the groups formula_4. if "c" is an additive category, then a "c"-valued mackey functor is an additive functor from "a(g)" to "c". mackey functors are important in representation theory and stable equivariant homotopy theory.

free agent. gamboa was handed a 50-game suspension for testing positive for "exogenous testosterone," a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the minor league drug prevention and treatment program on june 13, 2014. gamboa was promoted to the orioles when wesley wright was placed on the disabled list on april 11, 2015. assigned uniform number 68, he was optioned back to the norfolk tides without appearing in any orioles games two days later on april 13, 2015 when david lough was reinstated from the disabled list. he elected free agency on november 6, 2015. gamboa signed a minor league deal with the tampa bay rays in january 2016. they promoted him to the major leagues on september 1. he made his major league debut against the toronto blue jays on september 2. he was designated for assignment on february 14, 2017. on february 14, 2017, the same day as being designated for assignment from the rays, gamboa was traded to the texas rangers for a player to be named later or cash considerations. on june 30, 2017, gamboa signed a minor league deal with the los angeles dodgers. he made six starts for the triple-a oklahoma city dodgers and three starts (and one relief appearance)

make cheese, who have developed the knowledge and skills required to convert milk into cheese. cheesemaking involves controlling precisely the types and amounts of ingredients used and the parameters of the cheesemaking process, to make specific types and qualities of cheese. the milk may be from a cow, goat, sheep or buffalo, although worldwide cow's milk is most commonly used. cheesemakers also need to be skilled in grading cheese to assess quality, assessing defects and suitability for release, and cheese ripening. the craft of making cheese dates back at least 5,000 years. archaeological evidence exists of egyptian cheese being made in the ancient egyptian civilizations. the women's 100 metre butterfly competition of the swimming events at the 1999 pan american games took place on 5

midpoint of the two limiting points is the point where the radical axis of "a" and "b" crosses the line through their centers. this intersection point has equal power distance to all the circles in the pencil containing "a" and "b". the limiting points themselves can be found at this distance on either side of the intersection point, on the line through the two circle centers. from this fact it is straightforward to construct the limiting points algebraically or by compass and straightedge. an explicit formula expressing the limiting points as the solution to a quadratic equation in the coordinates of the circle centers and their radii is given by weisstein. inverting one of the two limiting points through "a" or "b" produces the other limiting point. an inversion centered at one limiting point maps the other limiting point to the common center of the concentric circles. iceland's first ambassador to east germany was oddur guðjónsson in 1973. iceland's last ambassador to east

basketball team represented georgetown university in the 2000–2001 ncaa division i basketball season. the hoyas were coached by craig esherick and played most of their home games at the mci center in washington, dc, although they played some home games early in the season at mcdonough gymnasium on the georgetown campus. the hoyas were members of the west division of the big east conference. they finished the season 25-8, 10-6 in big east play. their record earned them a bye in the first round of the 2001 big east men's basketball tournament, but they lost to seton hall in the quarterfinals. the first georgetown men's basketball team to appear in the ncaa men's division i basketball tournament since the 1996-97 season and the last one to do so until the 2005-06 season, they reached the west region semifinals of the 2001 ncaa tournament before losing to maryland. beginning this season, the big east organized its teams into divisions for the second time in its history; this time, the two divisions were the east and west divisions. georgetown would play as a member of the west division for three seasons before the conference again scrapped its divisional structure after the end of the 2002–03 season. freshman forward mike sweetney joined the team this season and quickly established himself as a dominating power forward. he started all 33 games during the season and got off to a strong start, scoring 19 points in each of his first three games. in big east play, he had 14 points and 14 rebounds in a big upset win over 18th-ranked seton hall in early january 2001, had another double double ten days later against nevada-las vegas, scored 14 points and pulled down 13 rebounds against syracuse, and scored a season-high 24 points against pittsburgh. during the season, he led the hoyas in scoring 11 times and in rebounding 13 times, and he finished the season averaging 12.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. sweetneys arrival meant that junior guard and team co-captain kevin braswell took fewer shots than he had in his first two seasons, but his shooting average from the field improved from 33.5 percent in his freshman year and 36.8 percent in his sophomore year to 37.8 percent this season and his play was more even, with fewer of the deep slumps he had suffered through previously. he started all 33 games; he started all 128 games of his collegiate career. in the early-january upset of seton hall, he scored a career-high 26 points, and he scored in double figures in nine games over a ten-game stretch late in the season. senior center and team co-captain ruben boumtje-boumtje started all 33 games, but no longer was a primary scoring option as georgetowns frontcourt offensive focus shifted to sweetney and center-forward lee scruggs. nonetheless, he scored in double figures 12 times, and over a four-game stretch late in the season scored a combined 55 points and pulled down a combined 37 rebounds as the hoyas pushed for an invitation to the ncaa tournament. sophomore guard demetrius hunter replaced senior guard anthony perry in the starting lineup this season, but perry remained active in a "sixth man" role and appeared in all 33 games. although he averaged only 17 minutes and six field goal attempts per game, he scored 16 points twice, at houston on new year's eve and again three days later at west virginia, and had a 15-point game at rutgers in which he stole the ball at the end of the game to preserve a georgetown victory. he finished the season averaging 6.7 points per game for the year and 9.5 points per game for his career. senior guard nat burton had dropped into a reserve role the previous season, reducing his offensive statistics, and his offensive production dropped further this season. however, he played a key role in some important games. he scored 11 points in a win at louisville, had eight rebounds at houston, and scored 16 points against virginia tech. his playing time diminished as the year wore on, and he scored only a combined 30 points in the final 13 games of the regular season. freshman forward gerald riley joined the team, and started all 33 games – as he would all 125 games of his collegiate career – and showed promise as the teams fifth scoring option, playing small forward and averaging 6.7 points per game. he would emerge as a star in later seasons. the team opened the season 16–0, the best start by a georgetown team since the 1984–85 season, with four of the wins against big east opponents. after that, the hoyas lost six of their next ten games, all in the conference, often thanks to poor starts. they fell to 20-6 overall and 7-6 in the big east, and with only three games left in the regular season and 17th-ranked syracuse coming to the mci center on february 24, 2001, the hoyas hopes of making the ncaa men's division i basketball tournament were in doubt. against syracuse, georgetown scored the first seven points of the game, but the orangemen responded with a 9-3 run to close to 10-9. despite suffering from an achilles tendon injury, demetrius hunter scored a three-pointer to open georgetowns lead to 13-9. after syracuse took a 15-14 lead, scruggs hit a three-pointer to give the hoyas a 17-15 advantage, and the teams traded leads for the rest of the first half, with georgetown leading 36-33 at halftime. the hoyas shot poorly from the free-throw line during the first half, and, in the second half, while syracuse was scoring on 90 percent of its free throws, the hoyas shot only 3-for-9 (33%) from the free-throw line in one stretch and only 12-for-28 (42.9%) for the game. syracuse was leading when hunter scored back-to-back three-pointers to put the hoyas ahead with 11:10 left in the game. with syracuse in foul trouble inside, georgetowns lead varied between six and eight points. syracuse senior forward damone browns field goal with 5:04 left cut georgetowns lead to 63–57, but it was the orangemens last field goal of the game. playing tough defense, grabbing three straight offensive rebounds, and using the clock well, the hoyas built their lead to 12 points with 2:39 remaining. hunter, who had a 21-point game, scored on a slam dunk with 38 seconds remaining, after which braswell dribbled out the clock to seal a 72–61 hoya win. after the game, hoya fans flooded onto the court, the first time that had ever happened at a big east home game for georgetown. georgetown won its final two regular-season games to give it a record of 23–6 overall, 10–6 in the big east, and a second-place finish in the conferences west division. the hoyas received a bye in the first round of the 2001 big east tournament and in the quarterfinals met seton hall, a team they had beaten twice during the regular season. braswell shot 0-for-6 from the field and failed to score – the only game in his collegiate career in which he did not score – and the underdog pirates handed georgetown a 58–40 loss. despite their early exit from the big east tournament, the hoyas had a 23-7 record overall and received an invitation to the 2001 ncaa tournament. making their first appearance in the tournament since 1997, they were seeded no. 10 in the west region and met the no. 7 seed, arkansas, in the first round. pregame press coverage billed the game as a struggle between arkansass press defense and georgetowns height inside, but the razorbacks press was not especially effective and the hoyas frontcourt of boumtje-boumtje, sweetney, and sophomore forward wesley wilson shot a combined 0-for-4 from the field in the first half amidst bad passing and bad shot selection. guards braswell and perry – with perry hitting two big three-point shots during the game – kept the hoyas close as the teams traded leads, but arkansas took a 31–30 advantage into the locker room at halftime. toward the end of the intermission, arena personnel were forced to dismantle a malfunctioning horn and light above one of the baskets, delaying the start of the second half for ten minutes; after the second half finally began, georgetowns inside game improved, but arkansas also began to score inside consistently, and the razorbacks led 47–43 with about 10 minutes left to play. they soon extended their lead to 52-45, but georgetown then went on a 12-5 run to tie the game at 57-57 with just over five minutes remaining. arkansas retook the lead and held it until braswell took the ball all the way from one end of the court to the other and scored to give the hoyas a 61-59 lead with 1:43 remaining. arkansas sophomore joe johnson scored to tie the game at 61–61 with 35.8 seconds left to play. after a time-out, georgetown sophomore forward victor samnick passed the ball to burton, who held the ball, intending to get it to braswell for a last-second game-winning shot. unable to get the ball to braswell, burton instead drove to the basket himself and rolled in a shot at the buzzer. with the horn and light dismantled, it was not immediately obvious that burtons shot had been in time, and arkansas officials complained that the shot had been too late. a two-minute review by game officials ensued, and after they ruled that burtons shot indeed had beaten the buzzer, georgetown had a 63-61 upset victory. it was georgetowns first ncaa tournament win since 1996 and its first ncaa tournament win at the buzzer since 1988. it was only the third time in 22 ncaa tournament appearances that georgetown had defeated a higher-seeded opponent. in the second round, georgetown faced the regions no. 15 seed, hampton. braswell scored 17 points despite shooting only 6-for-14 (42.9%) from the field, and the hoyas defeated the pirates, 76–57. boumtje-boumtje had a combined 15 points and 18 rebounds against arkansas and hampton. in the west region semifinals, georgetown met the regions no. 3 seed, 11th-ranked maryland. the hoyas played well in the first half, leading by as many as five points on more than one occasion and forcing maryland to commit nine turnovers. georgetown only scored off two of those turnovers, however, and late in the half was stymied by a maryland zone defense. after a frustrated sweetney was called for an intentional foul, allowing the terrapins to score four points and causing a six-point turnaround in the game, the hoyas lost the lead. demetrius hunter missed a dunk and maryland began to collect a number of offensive rebounds, off one of which they scored at the buzzer to take a 38-36 halftime lead. early in the second half, maryland extended its lead to nine points, with center lonnie baxter scoring six of them on his way to a 26-point, 14-rebound performance for the terrapins. boumtje-boumtje played tentatively and fouled out after playing only 19 minutes, with three rebounds, one blocked shot, and no points scored. although braswell shot only 3-for-22 (13.6%) from the field, he and scruggs led the hoyas to a comeback that allowed them to close to 59–56 with under five minutes to play and a 67-62 deficit with 3:17 remaining. after that, however, maryland extended its lead with good free-throw shooting. the hoyas were forced to attempt three-pointers to try to catch up, but shot only 1-for-6 (16.7%) from three-point range late in the game and the terrapins prevailed 76-66. sweetney averaged 10 rebounds a game during the ncaa tournament, while boumtje-boumtje completed his georgetown career as the schools fourth all-time shot blocker, behind only patrick ewing, alonzo mourning, and dikembe mutombo. the 2000-01 teams 25–8 finish was the best season for an esherick-coached team and it was the only time during eshericks five-and-a-half-year tenure that georgetown appeared in the ncaa tournament. although during the next four years georgetown would appear in the national invitation tournament (nit) twice and turn down an nit invitation on a third occasion, the hoyas would not return to the ncaa tournament until 2006. !colspan=9

"church clothes 2" was very well received by critics, who praised the mixtape for its lyricism, versatility, and production quality. jake rohn of bet rated the album four out of five stars, stating that "though songs like "misconception pt. 2" and "the fever" served as little more than bland filler, "church clothes 2" is a solid effort in when-keeping-it-real-goes-holy. lecrae is lyrically dope and versatile with the tracks, and he can go toe-to-toe with any emcee, classified "christian rap" or not." anthony peronto of christian music zine gave the album a perfect score, stating that it with its versatility and quality it "feels more like a full length album rather than the straightforward mixtape sound that "vol. 1 offered and is better off for it." allmusic's andy kellman rated the mixtape three-point-five out of five stars, noting that "church clothes 2" "is packed with collaborations from the christian and secular hip-hop worlds, while lecrae, a leader in his genre, delivers typically authoritative rhymes regarding a wide spectrum of issues." kevin hoskins of jesus freak hideout rated the album four out of five stars and summarized that "overall, i tend to think that dj cannon drops his own name way too much and not every single track is great, but it's otherwise quality rap, it's free, and lecrae is speaking what's on his heart." at "ccm magazine", andy argyrakis rated the album four out of five stars and called the album a "home run", noting how it contained "cutting edge production, acrobatic rhymes, and socially relevant lyrics" which offered "plenty of substance throughout these top 40-friendly sounds. christopher johnson of jesus wired rated the album a four-and-a-half out of five, saying that lecrae continues "to explore multiple styles of delivery for his thought provoking messages." ajax 5–1 liverpool was a football match between ajax and liverpool on 7 december 1966 at the olympic stadium in amsterdam, netherlands. it was the first leg of a second round tie in the 1966–67 european cup. the match was given the dutch title ""de mistwedstrijd"" (; "the fog match") as it was played in dense fog. ajax were competing in the european cup for the third time, they had qualified as winners of the 1965–66 eredivisie. they were drawn against turkish team beşiktaş in the first round, who they beat 4–1 over two-legs. this was liverpool's

of romania, whom they beat 2–0 in a play-off match after the two-leg tie resulted in a 3–3 scoreline. watched by a crowd of 55,722, ajax took the lead in the third minute when cees de wolf scored. they extended their lead in the 17th minute courtesy of a johan cruyff goal. two more goals scored by forward klaas nuninga meant ajax had a 4–0 lead at half-time. liverpool responded late in the game when defender chris lawler scored in the 89th minute; however, ajax scored a minute later through henk groot to win the match 5–1. the spectators could not really see much of the match due to the fog's density and at times could only tell by the celebration of the team when a goal was scored. a 2–2 draw in the second leg meant that ajax progressed to the quarter-finals courtesy of a 7–3 aggregate victory. they would lose to czech side dukla prague 3–2 over two legs. the match marked the emergence of ajax in european football, two seasons later they reached the final, but lost 4–1 to

seasons, but did not progress past the first round either time. liverpool had only participated in european competition during the previous two season, but they had more success than ajax. their first season of competition in 1964–65 they reached the semi-finals of the european cup, losing to eventual winners internazionale. the following season they reached the final of the european cup winners' cup, however, they lost 2–1 against german team borussia dortmund. liverpool were among the favourites to win the competition while ajax were virtually unknown outside of the netherlands. liverpool manager bill shankly had made a scouting trip to watch ajax before the match and witnessing them lose to lowly opposition returned confident liverpool would progress. a few of liverpool's players, including striker roger hunt, were part of england's victorious world cup campaign in 1966. ajax were coming out of a poor period, after they had finished in 13th place in the 1964–65 eredivisie, while the netherlands national team had yet to make an impression on the international stage. the board of ajax decided to hire rinus michels. he changed the team's formation to a 4–2–4, with an emphasis on passing and possession of the ball. the team showed improvement, winning the eredivisie in his first season in charge. ajax normally played their home matches at the de meer stadion. however, as demand for tickets to watch the match was high, it was switched to the higher-capacity olympic stadium. amsterdam suffered from heavy fog in the 24 hours before the match was due to start, and with the fog not abating before kick-off, it was debated whether to go ahead with the match. one option was to postpone the match, which liverpool manager bill shankly favoured. he was less keen on the match being replayed the next day as liverpool were scheduled to face manchester united in the next few days. the referee antonio sbardella decided to go ahead with the match, despite visibility reportedly being down to . ajax opened the scoring in the third minute when cees de wolf, who was making his debut for ajax, scored. a throw-in by cruyff was headed into the air, liverpool goalkeeper tommy lawrence came to collect the ball. realising he could not reach it, he moved back towards his goal, but de wolf outjumped defender chris lawler to head the ball into the liverpool goal. the conditions were so poor, that the crowd celebrated in stages. those closest to the goal celebrated immediately, while those at the other end of the stadium reacted to these celebrations. liverpool striker hunt had a chance to score in the 12th minute, but his shot was saved by ajax goalkeeper gert bals. following the goal ajax continued to attack, midfielder sjaak swart ran past three liverpool players before passing the ball to klaas nuninga, whose shot was saved by liverpool goalkeeper lawrence. however, lawrence dropped the ball near johan cruyff, who scored to give ajax a 2–0 lead. the conditions were so bad that when liverpool coach bob paisley came onto the pitch to attend to an injured player, shankly entered as well. he managed to give instructions to his players before he was spotted by the officials and ordered off the field. ajax player wim suurbier was carried off with a damaged ankle midway through the first half. he returned to the pitch, but suffered from a limp. ajax extended their lead in the 39th minute. liverpool defender tommy smith fouled cruyff outside the liverpool penalty area. the subsequent free-kick taken by frits soetekouw was not cleared by the liverpool defence and the ball rebounded to nuninga, who scored to give ajax a 3–0 lead. the conditions did not only affect the liverpool players. towards the end of the first half, the referee blew his whistle. swart, assuming that he had signalled half-time began to walk off the pitch, was stopped by a steward who pointed out that the match was still ongoing. he re-entered the pitch, received the ball and crossed the ball for nuninga, who scored to make it 4–0. liverpool came out in the second half determined to atone for their first-half performance. they forced ajax into their own half of the pitch for majority of the second half but were unable to make their advantage count. smith had a chance to score from the ajax goal, but his shot was saved by bals. defender ron yeats also had achance to score in the 61st minute, but his header was stopped by bals. a minute later smith was cautioned for a foul on nuninga and ajax's bennie muller was also booked in the 70th minute. liverpool had another chance to score in the 73rd minute, but geoff strong's shot following a corner went over the crossbar. ajax extended their lead towards the end of the half when they counter-attacked and scored courtesy of groot. liverpool managed to score in the last minute through lawler, but they were unable to score any further goals and lost the match 5–1. following the first leg, shankly was adamant that liverpool would still progress: "this tie is by no means over yet. we will win easily. we will smash in at least seven goals. this was ridiculous. ajax played defensive football on their own ground. we never play well against defensive teams." such was the shock at the result that shankly's claim was taken seriously. the defeat convinced shankly that adopting ajax's patient, passing style was the key to success in europe. the defeat is still liverpool's record defeat in european competition. michels was worried that liverpool might adopt aggressive tactics in the second leg: "our fear is that liverpool may try to eliminate us through rough play. they showed some of this rough play in the first leg and they will play even harder in front of their own supporters". he also admitted that his side had some luck in the first leg but was adamant they would progress: "there are not many great players in this liverpool side, but they are all fighters. i agree we had some luck in amsterdam, but i am sure we will go through." liverpool had early chances in the second leg with midfielder peter thompson and defender geoff strong hitting the frame of the goal. the first half finished goalless, but ajax opened the scoring in the 49th minute when cruyff scored. liverpool striker hunt equalised a few minutes later, but liverpool conceded again when cruyff scored a second goal. hunt scored towards the end of the match, but they were unable to beat ajax and the match finished 2–2. they progressed to the quarter-finals courtesy of a 7–3 aggregate victory. during the early stages of the match, there was a crush on the spion kop. as fans struggled to see the match due to a low-hanging haze, people at the back pressed forward for a better view. this resulted in supporters at the front being swept off their feet and spilling onto the pitch. over 200 people were injured, with 31 taken to hospital. michels stated that the victory was proof that ajax could match teams in europe: "the liverpool game was for me an important moment to be acknowledged and recognised internationally. not only the first game, because that could have been an accident – with the weather conditions etc. no, the performance we achieved in liverpool under bad circumstances – i've never seen such a hectic situation. we drew that game 2–2 and never really had problems. for me, it was the proof that we were at the international level." ajax were drawn against dukla prague of czechoslovakia in the quarter-finals. the first leg finished 1–1 in the netherlands, but ajax lost the second leg 2–1 at the stadion juliska in prague. thus, they lost the tie 3–2 on aggregate. following the match, michels decided to reshape his team. he moved defender ton pronk into midfield and sold his captain frits soetekouw, who had scored an own goal in the second leg, to rivals psv eindhoven, signing velibor vasović from partizan belgrade as his replacement. the changes had the desired effect as ajax won the eredivisie four times between 1966 and 1970. they also reached the final of the 1968–69 european cup, but lost 4–1 to italian team milan. the team's style, known as total football, would come to fruition in the 1970s as ajax won three consecutive european cups from 1971 to 1973. total football was also implemented by the netherlands national football team, who reached the final of the fifa world cup in 1974 and 1978, losing on both occasions. devanand noel sharma (born 21 december 1975) is a canadian-born australian politician, former

2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively; and starting points of 4, 3, 2, and 1, for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th respectively. another round-robin was played for each of the groups. the top league teams in group 1 ranked 1st to 4th qualified for the title play-offs to fight for the microsoft cup and the top league title. the top 4 also qualified directly into the all-japan rugby football championship. the teams in group 1 ranked 5th to 8th, and teams in group 2 ranked 1st to 4th went through to the wildcard play-offs for qualification into the all-japan rugby football championship. the teams in group 2 ranked 5th to 7th went through to the promotion and relegation play-offs against regional challengers to fight to remain in the top league. the team in group 2 ranked 8th was automatically relegated to the regional leagues for 2014–15. top 4 sides of the regular season competed in the microsoft cup (2014) knock out tournament to fight for the top league title. the top 4 teams of 2013–14 were panasonic wild knights, suntory sungoliath, kobelco steelers, and toshiba brave lupus. the top league group 1 teams ranked 5–8 and group 2 teams ranked 1–4 played off over two rounds, with the second round winners qualifying for the all-japan rugby football championship. so yamaha and toyota advanced to the all-japan rugby football championship. fukuoka sanix blues won promotion to the 2014–15 top league via the 2013–14 top league challenge series, while honda heat, mitsubishi sagamihara dynaboars and yokogawa musashino atlastars progressed to the promotion play-offs. the top league teams in group 2 ranked 5th, 6th, and 7th, played-off against the challenge 1 teams ranked 4th, 3rd, and 2nd, respectively, for the right to be included in the top league for the following season. so coca-cola west red sparks, ntt docomo, and ntt remained in the top league for the next season. at the end of season awards, panasonic wild knights flyhalf berrick barnes was named top league mvp, a day after helping his side to the league title. he was handed his trophy by japan coach eddie jones. the paris grays were a minor league baseball team that played in the east texas league in 1923. the team,

(born december 20, 1988) is an american former professional baseball pitcher. he played in major league baseball (mlb) for the new york mets, seattle mariners and los angeles dodgers. goeddel attended bellarmine college prep in san jose, california, where "baseball america" and perfect game usa ranked him the third-best high school baseball prospect in the united states and canada. after going undrafted in the 2007 major league baseball draft, goeddel enrolled at the university of california, los angeles (ucla), where he played college baseball for the ucla bruins. in 2009, he played collegiate summer baseball with the brewster whitecaps of the cape cod baseball league. the new york mets selected goeddel in the 24th round of the 2010 mlb draft. the mets added goeddel to their 40-man roster after the 2013 season. goeddel played in the minors with the gulf coast league mets, savannah sand gnats, st. lucie mets, binghamton mets, and the las vegas 51s. goeddel was called up to the majors on september 1, 2014, and made his major league debut the same day, pitching in relief against the miami marlins in a 6-9 loss. goeddel replaced jeurys familia with two on and one out in the eighth, and walked in the third run of the inning. goeddel finished the season with a 2.70 era appearing in 6 games with 6.2 innings pitched getting 6 strikeouts with a whip of 1.05 while giving up 3 hits, 2 runs and 4 walks. goeddel was called up on april 7, 2015 with then-closer jenrry mejía going on the disabled list on april 5. on june 12, goeddel was placed on the diable list with a right elbow strain. his spot on the roster was replaced by danny muno. he spent the majority of the season since the injury rehabbing with the binghamton mets. he was promoted back again on september 1 due to expanded rosters. when the mets reached the playoffs, goeddel was placed on the roster for the nlds making one appearance in game three in the top of the ninth inning giving up three runs in a 13-7 win for the mets. while giving up the runs, he gave 4 hits, 1 home run while facing 4 batters. however, he was replaced by sean gilmartin to be on the roster for the nlcs. it was the only change made to the roster from the nlds. goeddel finished the season with 1-1 record, 2.43 era, and 34 strikeouts in 35 games with 33 innings pitched. on december 19, 2017, goeddel signed a minor league deal with the texas rangers. he was released on march 19, 2018, on march 20, 2018, he signed a minor league contract with the seattle mariners the following day. he was designated for assignment on may 16, 2018. on may 18, 2018, he was claimed off waivers by the los angeles dodgers. he pitched in 26 games for the dodgers, with a 3.38 era. he missed much of the season with an elbow injury that shut him down for good in august. goeddel was designated for assignment on november 20, 2018 and released the following day. goeddel's brother, tyler, is also a professional baseball player. their father, david goeddel, is a pioneering biologist responsible for the development of both synthetic insulin and human growth hormone. the everglades club is the preeminent, and most exclusive, social club in palm beach, florida. when its construction began in july 1918 it was to be called the "touchstone convalescent club", and it was intended to be a hospital for the wounded of world war i. but the war ended a few months later and it changed into a private club without ever opening as a hospital. the club has no sign, no web site, and no wifi. cell phones are prohibited. paris singer (1867-1932) was an immensely wealthy man in the early 20th century. singer's father, isaac singer (1811-1875), had invented the sewing machine and paris singer had an income of one million dollars a year at this time. paris singer and his good friend, the developer addison mizner (1872-1933), were visiting palm beach in the spring of 1918. singer decided to build a hospital with mizner as the architect. singer had already built three hospitals in france for the wounded. it was during world war i when only war-related buildings could be built. construction began in july. (the site at the west end of worth avenue formerly contained alligator joe's, a tourist attraction.) by november 1918 seven residential villas and a medical center had been built on the north side of worth avenue, across from the main building. singer purchased laboratory and surgical equipment and fittings for an operating room. singer sent out as many as 300,000 invitations to "eligible" army and navy officers, who had to be "screened" and had to be able to pay their own room and board. however, world war i had ended, and most former soldiers wanted to go home. the hospital was reinvisioned as a private club; the medical equipment was donated to a hospital in west palm beach. there was a main building, eight separate villas, tennis courts, a parking garage across the street, and a yacht basin. the club opened on 25 january 1919. paris singer was the president of the club and he decided who could become a member. for its second season in 1920, mizner supervised the construction of a nine-hole golf course and the landscaping of the club's 60 acres. he also built via mizner, an addition on worth avenue with eleven apartments and sixteen shops. mizner's design for the everglades club was the biggest success of his career. the architectural impact "cannot be overstated." it helped establish a new architectural style for florida. in the club's first season mizner received four architectural commissions. he went on to become america's foremost society architect of his era. singer began his club with twenty-five charter members. the club was an immediate success. two years later the membership was closed at 500 members. eliza osgood vanderbilt webb (1860–1936) was one of its earliest female members. businessman jack c. massey was a member. an additional nine holes were added to the golf course in 1930. the club deliberately does not have a website. cellphones are prohibited on the property. when journalist ian brown approached the club in 2016, an employee dressed "straight out of dickens" intercepted him and, when asked, denied that it was the everglades club. brown stated: the club has long been criticized for alleged discrimination against jews and blacks. sammy davis, jr. was turned away at the door. according to socialite c.z. guest, she and her husband were temporarily suspended from the club after they brought jewish guests — estée lauder and her husband — to a party there in 1972. joseph kennedy, father of the slain president, resigned his membership in the early '60s "to avoid scrutiny for belonging to a club known for excluding blacks and jewish people." the bath & tennis, often referred to as the b&t, is another exclusive, predominantly wasp club that opened in 1926. the frequent exclusion led a group of wealthy island jews to form a new club. the palm beach country club opened in 1959 and still hard to join to this day. as of 2014 there has never been an african-american member. according to 2009 president william panill, no black has ever applied. the club now has jewish members, but how many is unknown because, according to panill, "we don't ask." as another member put it, the current policy on jews is "don't ask, don't tell". panill admitted in 2009 that he receives inquiries about whether a member can bring a jewish guest. the sulphur springs lions were a minor league baseball team that played in the east texas league in 1923. it was the first known professional baseball team to be based in the united states city of sulphur springs, texas. it was replaced by the sulphur springs saints in 1924. mark cardenas (born october 23, 1986) is a former democratic member of the arizona house of representatives, serving from 2013 to 2019. before serving in the legislature, cardenas was a soldier (serving in the iraq war) and an accountant. he also serves on the estrella village planning committee. in 2013, cardenas spent a week living on the street to raise money for a transitional-living facility for female veterans. "rumours" is a single by british r&b group damage, released in 2000 as the second single from their second and last album, "since you've been gone". the song was a mild hit, reaching #22 on the uk

chronicles, respectively. the 12" vinyl release contains both the vocal and dub mixes by ed case & carl h. dagmar flores henríquez —better known as la vampi ("the vampire girl") and sometimes spelled as la vampy or la vampi de lajas ("the vampire girl from lajas")— is an internet personality and meme known for her youtube videos, antics, dancing, parodies and porn. flores' videos have appeared in media such as comedy central and buzzfeed, and has been covered by news sources such as "el vocero", "metro", "primera hora", and "telemundo". captain john barclay fassett (1843 to january 18, 1905) was an american soldier who fought in the american civil war. fassett received the country's highest award for bravery during combat, the medal of honor, for his action during the battle of gettysburg in pennsylvania on 2 july 1863. he was honored with the award on 29 december 1894. fassett was born in philadelphia, pennsylvania in 1843. he enlisted into the 23rd pennsylvania infantry. he died on 18 january 1905 and his remains are interred in the woodlawn cemetery, bronx, new york. the propagation of grapevines is an important consideration in commercial viticulture and winemaking. grapevines, most of which belong to the "vitis vinifera" family, produce one crop of fruit each growing season with a limited life span for individual vines. while some centenarian old vine examples of grape varieties exist, most grapevines are between the ages of 10 and 30 years. as vineyard owners seek to replant their vines, a number of techniques are available which may include planting a new cutting that has been selected by either clonal or mass (massal) selection. vines can also be propagated by grafting a new plant vine upon existing rootstock or by layering one of the canes of an existing vine into the ground next to the vine and severing the connection when the new vine develops its own root system. in commercial viticulture, grapevines are rarely propagated from seedlings as each seed contains unique genetic information from its two parent varieties (the flowering parent and the parent that provided the pollen that fertilized the flower) and would, theoretically, be a different variety than either parent. this would be true even if two hermaphroditic vine varieties, such as chardonnay, cross pollinated each other. while the grape clusters that would arise from the pollination would be considered chardonnay any vines that sprang from one of the seeds of the grape berries would be considered a distinct variety other than chardonnay. it is for this reason that grapevines are usually propagated from cuttings while grape breeders will utilize seedlings to come up with new grape varieties including crossings that include parents of two varieties within the same species (such as cabernet sauvignon which is a crossing of the "vitis vinifera" varieties cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc) or hybrid grape varieties which include parents from two different "vitis" species such as the armagnac grape baco blanc, which was propagated from the "vinifera" grape folle blanche and the "vitis labrusca" variety noah. a color mutation is a grape variety that while genetically similar to the original variety is considered unique enough to merit being considered its own variety. both pinot gris and pinot blanc are color mutations of pinot noir. in viticulture, a clone is single vine that has been selected from a "mother vine" to which it is identical. this clone may have been selected deliberately from a grapevine that has demonstrated desirable traits (good yields, grape disease resistance, small berry size, etc.) and propagated as cuttings from that mother vine. varieties such as sangiovese and pinot noir are well known to have a variety of clones. while there may be slight mutations to differentiate the various clones, all clones are considered genetically part of the same variety (i.e. sangiovese or pinot noir). a selection massale is the opposite of cloning, where growers select cuttings from the mass of the vineyard, or a field blend. a crossing is a new grape variety that was created by the cross pollination of two different varieties of the same species. syrah is a crossing of two french "vitis vinifera" species, dureza from the ardèche and mondeuse blanche from savoie. theoretically, every seedling (also known as a selfling), even if its pollinated by a member of the same grape variety (i.e. such as two merlot vines), is a crossing as any vine that results from the seed being planted will be a different grape variety distinct from either parent. a hybrid is a new grape variety that was produced from a cross pollination of two different grape species. in the early history of american winemaking, grape growers would cross the european "vitis vinifera" vines with american vine varieties such as "vitis labrusca" to create french-american hybrids that were more resistant to american grape diseases such as downy and powdery mildew as well as phylloxera. when the phylloxera epidemic of the mid to late 19th century hit europe, some growers in european wine regions experimented with using hybrids until a solution involving grafting american rootstocks to "vinifera" varieties was found. eventually, the use of hybrids in wine production declined with their use formally outlawed by european wine laws in the 1950s. as commercial winemakers usually want to work with a desired grape variety that dependably produces a particular crop, most grapevines are propagated by clonal or massal selection of plant material. this can be accomplished in one of three ways. this involves a shoot taken from a mother vine and then planted where the shoot will eventually sprout a root system and regenerate itself into a full-fledged vine with trunk and canopy. often new cuttings will be first planted in a nursery where it is allowed to develop for a couple of years before being planted in the vineyard. grafting is a process in which a new grape vine is produced by making a cut in the rootstock and then adding scionwood that is cut to fit inside the incision made in the rootstock. this involves removing the canopy and most of the trunk of an existing vine and replacing it with a cutting of a new vine that is sealed by a graft union. there are two main types of grafting in the relation to the propagation of a grapevine. this process is typically performed in the beginning of a new year in a greenhouse, taking place during the late winter months, to the early spring months. this process is used on younger and smaller vines before the vines are planted in a vineyard. however, the type of cut made on the grape vine determines the classification of the bench graft. the two techniques to perform a bench graft includes the omega graft and the whip graft. the omega graft is performed by the rootstock and scion being grafted together by the two pieces being cut into shapes that align together. the whip graft is performed by making an identical small dip at angle into the rootstock and the scion, so they can be adjoined. field grafting is performed after the vine has been planted in a vineyard and has aged a few years. the objective of using this method is to avoid replanting and a final product of a grapevine with two diversifications. the procedure of field grafting is performed with the vines still planted, by making two inversions in the rootstock of a certain type of grapevines and placing two of the same type of scions that differ from the rootstock into the rootstock. the most common ways to perform field grafting are the chip bud method, the t bud method, the cleft graft and the bark graft. the chip bud method is performed shortly after the grape vine is planted, giving the rootstock enough time to become active but the bud of the grape vine is still inactive. it is performed by cutting two small slopes in both sides of the rootstock and cutting a small scion into a small bud and placing the scion bud into the cuts made on the rootstock. the t bud method is performed by making a cutting a t at the bottom of the grapevine that is above the soil. once the t is cut, the bark surrounding the cut is pulled back and the scion is placed between the two sides that were pulled back. the chip graft is performed on the branches of a grape vine, when the rootstock is dormant. the method is performed by making a wedge in the rootstock and placing two scions into the wedge. after the graft starts growing one of the scions is removed, leaving only one to grow. the bark graft is performed by making three incisions on the edge of the grape vine's rootstock, and removing majority of the bark around each of the cuttings, leaving a small amount of bark at the end of the cut and inserting three of the same scions into the incisions, using the remaining piece of the cut bark to cover the end of the scions. in established vineyards where only a few vines need to be replaced within a row (such as vine lost to machine damage or disease), a new vine can be propagated by bending a cane from a neighboring vine into the ground and covering it with dirt. this segment of vine will soon begin sprouting its own independent root system while still being nourished by the connecting vine. eventually, the connection between the two vines is severed, allowing each vine to grow independently. each cutting, taken from a mother vine, is a clone of that vine. the way that a vine grower selects these cuttings can be described as either clonal or massal selection. in clonal selection, an ideal plant within a vineyard or nursery that has exhibited the most desirable traits is selected with all cuttings taken from that single plant. in massal (or "mass") selection, cuttings are taken from several vines of the same variety that have collectively demonstrated desirable traits. historically, massal selection was the primary means of vineyard propagation, particularly in traditional vineyards where vines are only sporadically replaced, often by layering a cane from a neighboring vine. in the 1950s, the isolation and identification of desirable clones in nurseries and breeding stations lead to an increase in clonal selection with new vineyard plantings seeking out clones from well established vineyards and wine region. this trend towards clonal selection has seen some criticism from wine writers and viticulturalists who complain about "mono-clonal" viticulture that has the risk of producing wines that are overly similar and dull. other criticisms of clonal selection involve the increased risk in vineyards lacking genetic diversity among its vines as well as the changing priorities in wine production. while many clones in the mid to late 20th century were isolated, some of the desirable traits exhibited by those clones (such as early ripening or high yield potential) may no longer be as desirable today where other traits (such as low yields and drought resistance) may be more prized. the divine ep is an ep by producer and electronic musician blaqstarr, released on january 25, 2011. prior to the ep's release, blaqstarr said that "there are no bounds for my music, so expect to experience every one of your best feelings when you listen to it." the ep's title derives from blaqstarr's hope that "the release will kickstart his own divine mission." the agra–bhopal section is a railway line connecting the 16-17th century capital of the mughals, agra and bhopal, capital of the indian state of madhya pradesh.

gwalior coaching workshop handles narrow gauge coaches. hhaa is a human pseudogene believed to be responsible for fur-like body hair. in humans the gene has become deactivated making it a pseudogene, however there is variation in the degree of body hair among human beings and occasional examples have been found of people where the gene is active leading to very thick body hair as a result. although the mutation was dated to 240 000 by winter et al., it is also present in the vindija neandertal and altai denisovan sequences. hence the dating must be older than 700 00 kya and possibly more than 1 mya considering the latter's divergence date. given the divergence of pubic and head hair lice, the date of the mutation may be as old as 3.3 million years old. justin pickering is a

world war ii. japanese aircraft and warships patrolled south china sea shipping lanes from bases in the philippines; and loss of those bases would threaten the flow of resources needed to defend the empire of japan. as allied forces converged to fulfill douglas macarthur's promised return, japan implemented operation "shō" to defend the philippines. convoy hi-71 carried imperial japanese army troops, weaponry and supplies from the home islands of japan to reinforce the philippines. the convoy left moji on 8 august 1944 accompanied by the 6th escort group of two destroyers and five "kaibōkan" with an escort carrier embarking the 931st air group detachment of a dozen nakajima b5n "kate" attack planes. as the convoy departed the mako naval base in the pescadores on 17 august, it was reinforced by another destroyer and four "kaibōkan" to counter united states submarines operating in the luzon strait. two submarine wolfpacks were waiting in the convoy path. and operated as "donc's devils", under command of glynn r. donaho, commanding officer of . the other three submarines were , and . "redfish" found the convoy on the evening of 17 august, and maneuvered into position to launch four torpedoes at a large ship and a fifth torpedo at the escort carrier. "eiyo maru" was hit by a torpedo at 0524 on 18 august. "asakaze" and "yūnagi" were detached to escort the damaged ship back to takao as a typhoon developed with force 12 winds from the southeast. "picuda" and "spadefish" were unable to locate the convoy in the deteriorating visibility, and heavy seas loosened plates on the superstructure of "redfish". the convoy became scattered and disorganized in heavy weather and darkness. "rasher" observed nine successive aircraft contacts to the north on the afternoon of 18 august and deduced these were air patrols for an important convoy. that dark, rainy night "rasher"'s radar picked up thirteen ships of convoy hi-71 proceeding at and protected by six escorts. after a surfaced approach to , two stern torpedoes were launched at "teiyō maru" at 2122. both torpedoes hit; and the tanker loaded with gasoline exploded into a column of flame high, with parts of the ship being blown from the flaming hulk. the escorts fired wildly and laid depth charge patterns astern of "rasher". in a second surfaced approach to "rasher" launched a spread of six bow torpedoes at 2310. three torpedoes hit and sank the transport "teia maru", killing 2,665 japanese soldiers, and a fourth torpedo was heard exploding at a timed range of 3900 yards. "rasher" swung hard left to launch four stern torpedoes at 2214. three torpedoes hit and sank the escort carrier "taiyō", and the fourth torpedo was heard exploding on a more distant ship. "rasher" pulled away to reload torpedo tubes and the convoy split into two groups. "rasher" followed three large ships with one "kaibōkan" moving northwest while "bluefish" intercepted the remaining ships continuing southwesterly and fired torpedoes at two tankers. at least one torpedo hit "awa maru", and "hayasui" burst into flame and sank stern first after being hit by two or three torpedoes at 0320. "rasher" launched four bow torpedoes shortly after midnight at a range of , and three hits on the cargo-transport "eishin maru" caused an ammunition detonation with the pressure wave sweeping over the submarine's bridge. the fourth torpedo was heard exploding on a more distant ship. "rasher" then swung hard right to launch two stern torpedoes. both torpedoes hit at 0033 and "noshiro maru" slowed to reversing course and firing briefly at "etorofu" believing it to be the attacking submarine. other portions of the scattered convoy were attacked by "redfish" and "spadefish". japanese sources indicate "tamatsu maru" simply disappeared. uncertainty remains about which submarines launched torpedoes striking the ships of convoy hi-71; but janac credited "spadefish" with sinking "tamatsu maru" fleeing northward at 0333. "sado", "matsuwa" and "hiburi" attempted to hold the american submarines down while "noshiro maru" and "awa maru" beached themselves at port currimao to avoid sinking, and undamaged ships took refuge in san fernando, la union. after convoy hi-71 reformed in san fernando, it arrived in manila on 21 august. "awa maru" was towed into manila the same day, and "noshiro maru" reached manila on 24 august. "sado", "matsuwa" and "hiburi" were intercepted by and as they attempted to rejoin their convoy in manila. "matsuwa" and "hiburi" were torpedoed by "harder" at 0456, and "sado" was torpedoed by "haddo" at 0524 while attempting to aid the stricken sister "kaibōkan". additional torpedoes were required to sink the three "kaibōkan". "haddo" sank "sado" with a three torpedo salvo at 0720, while "harder" sank "matsuwa" at 0649 and "hiburi" at 0755. "asakaze" and "yūnagi" departed takao on 21 august to rejoin the convoy at manila with the new tankers "hakko maru" no. 2 and "niyo maru" bound for singapore. "spadefish" hit "hakko maru" no. 2 with two torpedoes off cape bojeador lighthouse at 1455 on 22 august. the damaged tanker was beached in pasaleng bay while "yūnagi" stood by. "spadefish" fired four more torpedoes at the beached tanker until a depth charge attack by "yūnagi" chased away the submarine. "yūnagi" was relieved of responsibility for "hakko maru" no. 2 on 25 august and was sunk an hour later by "picuda". "hakko maru" no. 2 remained beached until destroyed by heavy surf on 18 september. "asakaze" escorted "niyo maru" toward manila. "haddo" hit "asakaze" with its last torpedo at 0800 23 august. as and "harder" approached to finish off the damaged destroyer (which had already sunk), they were intercepted at 0630 on 24 august by "cd no. 22" and the captured united states destroyer patrol boat no. 102. "harder" fired a salvo of torpedoes at "cd no. 22", and was spotted by a japanese aircraft which marked the location. "harder" was sunk at by "patrol boat no. 102" in an attack beginning at 0828. the reformed convoy hi-71, less the surviving philippine reinforcements, left manila on 26 august escorted by "fujinami", "hirato", "kurahishi" and "mikura", and reached singapore on 1 september. the unrepaired "noshiro maru" remained in manila bay until destroyed on 21 september by aircraft of task force 38. the civil affairs staging area (casa) also known as the civil affairs holding and staging area was a combined u.s. army, u.s navy military formation authorized by the joint chiefs of staff on june 18, 1944 during world war two for military government theater planning, training and provision of military government personnel to areas of the far east liberated from the empire of japan, including east china, formosa and korea. casa had two divisions: the operations and training division focused on language instruction and execution of civil affairs duties at a local level. these duties varied greatly and, as an example, included mass feeding of civilians, camp sanitation, provision of medical supplies, containment of epidemic diseases, labor relations and rodent control. the theatre planning & research division developed plans for military government at a national level such as control of japan's economic institutions, control of japan's education system and methods for increasing the overall supply of food throughout, not only japan, but also previously occupied areas like east china. casa provided comprehensive training and planning in civil affairs administration to officers coming from six schools of military government established at various universities throughout the united states. army & navy personnel trained by casa numbered in the thousands, with more than 1,000 officers assigned to a wide variety of civil affairs positions for the initial occupation of japan alone. the goal of the u.s. army's civil affairs division in the creation of casa was to replicate the same success in the far east experienced by the civil affairs division in the european theatre. general john h. hilldring ordered colonel hardy c. dillard, commander of the civil affairs training division for the european theater of operations, to take command of casa from colonel william a. boekel and implement the european civil affair's planning and training program. colonel dillard was relieved of command on 20 july 1945 by brigadier general percy l. sadler. shortly after the establishment of a civil affairs division in the war department in march 1943, a circular letter was sent to the commanding generals of all theaters offering the services of the civil affairs division and of trained civil affairs officers. in response to a request from the commanding general, united states army forces, china burma india theatre, colonel william a. boekel and colonel (then lt. colonel) mitchell jenkins were ordered to new delhi, where they arrived 4 may and 14 may respectively. their first month was spent familiarizing themselves with the general situation in the countries of southeast asia. the american civil affairs officers received the distinct impression that the british officers regarded burma and other british territory as definitely a british civil affairs area, with which the americans should have no concern. as a result of policy conferences, this attitude was translated into a formal statement of basic policy, approved by american and british headquarters. once established, this policy left american civil affairs officers no function except that of liaison with british agencie colonel boekel and lt. colonel jenkins continued their studies of the countries of southeast asia, as well as the question of united states civil affairs activities in japan proper, china, korea and manchukuo. their work resulted in the formulation of certain tentative plans for the military government of japan, and for the procurement, training and organization of civil affairs officers for the far east. their conclusions were embodied in a series of letters, of 26 august, 19 october, and 6 november 1943. the recommendations contained in these letters were approved by the commanding general, china burma india theater, and transmitted by him to the war department. in the preparation of the last two letters, assistance was given by mr. john davies, political adviser to lieutenant general joseph w. stillwell, and by mr. monroe kail, member of the american mission in new delhi. both of these gentlemen concurred fully with the plans and recommendations contained in the letters. colonel boekel was ordered, december 1943 to duty with the civil affairs division at washington, although he was technically still assigned to headquarters, usaf (united states army forces), cbi theater. upon reporting to major general john h. hilldring, commander, civil affairs division, colonel boekel was directed to assist the general in civil affairs planning and training for the far east. the civil affairs division directed its primary effort toward procuring a state department, war department (operations division); and joint chiefs of staff declaration of policy with respect to united states civil affairs administration in the far east. such a statement was dependent, in large measure, upon certain long-range policy decisions within the state department. general hilldring wrote to the chief, naval office for occupied areas, 25 january 1944: "it is anticipated that at an early date the state department will issue written decisions of policy defining the current and postwar interests of the american government in the above referred to areas. upon receipt thereof, appropriate directives will be issued to the several military commanders in these areas... no definitive statement has thus far been made by the army with reference to korea and manchukuo because the question as to whether or not there will be american participation in the administration of these areas is one which still awaits state department determination." the civil affairs division's project, that of bringing together the various agencies involved in arriving at a joint decision, progressed satisfactorily. after four months in washington, colonel boekel was able to report that,"on 13 may 1944 j,c,s.. paper 819/2 was issued by the j.c.s. approving certain basic assumptions for civil affairs planning purposes for specific areas in the far east and pacific ocean. this paper is substantially responsive to the inquiries and policy recommendations made by the commanding general, usaf (united states army forces), china burma india theater in his letters to the war department dated respectively 26 august, 19 october, and 8 november, 1943. the paper as approved by the joint chiefs of staff embodies the composite views of the office of the assistant secretary of war, the state department, the civil affairs division (cad) and of the u.s. navy, and was 'sweated' through twenty-one drafts. general hilldring regards the paper as of primary importance in that it gives initial direction and impetus to civil affairs "planning." in addition to policy planning, the civil affairs division was concerned with plans for the procurement, training and organization of civil affairs officers for the far east. as early as january 1944, it was reported to general hilldring that, "the program is well under way for the training of 1500 officers for use in the operational and administrative functions." the navy was invited to participate in the army-training program as well as in the subsequent civil affairs administration of japan to the extent of twenty-five per-cent of the personnel required. this invitation was confirmed later in papers of 10 december and 22 december 1943." the procurement of fifteen hundred officers for civil affairs work in the far east was provided for in war department circular no. 136, 8 april 1944. the first exclusively far eastern class at the school of military government, charlottesville, virginia, opened 12 june 1944 at the [university of virginia]. while the civil affairs division in washington was busy coordinating the planning activities of the numerous agencies concerned with civil affairs, the school of military government in charlottesville, va was developing an informal civil affairs planning staff. colonel boekel wrote to general ferris, 23 january 1944, that he would be in charlottesville to interview 4 officers 'earmarked' for asiatic theater duty and to lay the foundation for the organization of the nucleus planning staff, which initially consisted of 4 army and 3 navy officers. a week later, colonel boekel wrote, that an embryonic planning section had been set up at the school of military government in charlottesville,va consisting of five u.s. army and three u.s. navy officers and that lt. col arthur dobson was tentatively earmarked for general albert wedemeyer but was to be retained at the school of military government pending determination of the larger question of policy as to the extent of participation in seac (south east asia command). colonel boekel summarized personnel in the initial planning group as follows: the planning section completed and maintained a current and basic military government plan for japan proper and its personnel were added to from time to time in the ratio of 75% army and 25% navy. according to colonel boekel in a letter to colonel jenkins dated 14 april 1944, the informal planning group at the smg (school of military government) was, "involved in some very rough spade work in anticipation of what the several theater commanders or navy area commanders may require to complete their planning when a directive is issued to them." colonel boekel noted that the theater commanders would not be bound by anything planned by the far east initial planning group at the smg (school of military government). the group, according to colonel boekel, served best as the focus for the procurement of survey data from the dozen or more federal agencies charged with the responsibility of getting out handbooks and guides for specific areas. planning for the establishment of a civil affairs holding and staging area is first mentioned in a memorandum of colonel boekel's, written 15 january 1944, in preparation for a discussion with colonel david marcus, relative to planning for civil affairs administration in the far east. it was colonel boekel's opinion that, "as soon as the american (army and navy) officers and enlisted men personnel are trained, they should be organized into teams or provisional units with appropriate t/o's (tables of organization) and moved to hawaii for final integration with the theater headquarters planning staff. the facilities of the university of hawaii may be available. there the personnel should be broken up into teams for special areas and be ready to take over any thereof as the military situation requires. if there is to be british participation, the amalgamation thereof with the americans should take place in hawaii or the final theater school and staging area. the asiatic theater commander has already stated that for logistical and other reasons, the staff could not be trained in india and introduced into japan via the himalayan hump; nor over the burma road." in furtherance of the plan to establish the holding and staging area in hawaii, colonel boekel conferred with captain mercer- secretary to admiral nimitz, 10 march 1944. captain mercer stated that the navy would be opposed to the immediate reception and quartering of any large number of civil affairs officers in hawaii, because of the paucity of shipping space, subsistence and quarters. he indicated, however, that the navy would give a sympathetic reception to the 'survey' committee which is to go to hawaii from civil affairs division and captain pence's office, particularly if the proposal is based upon a progressive transfer starting with a small number on or about 1 june and continuing through the ensuing period of cats (civil affairs training schools). colonel boekel also reported that during the previous week he had a conference with captain moore of lt. general richardson's staff. captain moore indicated that there would be no difficulty in transferring the planning section and successive increments of cats (civil affairs training schools) to hawaii. colonel boekel went to hawaii in may 1944 to confer directly with admiral chester w. nimitz, commander of the pacific fleet and pacific ocean areas, and with lt. general richardson, commanding general, united states army forces, central pacific area concerning the site of the holding and staging area about to be established. the decision arrived at as a result of this conference was that it would be impractical to locate the holding and staging area in hawaii. the search for a site was then transferred to the west coast of continental united states. a committee from washington, composed of colonel boekel, colonel harry jones, chief of the personnel and training branch, civil affairs division, and colonel h. e. robison, of the provost marshal general's office, visited several potential sites in california. they inspected camp mcquaide at santa cruz; the presidio of san francisco; camp beale, at sacramento; and fort ord, at monterey. their choice fell upon the last named site. the formal establishment of the holding and staging area is referred to in a joint chiefs of staff document. at the time of the arrival of the advance party at fort ord, 15 july 1944, there was still some uncertainty as to which buildings would be assigned to casa. after an inspection of the available buildings in the 17ac area, as well as other available troop quarters, a message was sent to the ninth service command at fort douglas, and confirmation received, of the assignment to casa of the wac (warfare area commander) area. this consisted of the administration building, a mess hall and three barracks. one additional building was still occupied by wac personnel. the space assigned as regarded as adequate for the initial group of about one hundred officers and twenty-eight enlisted men on a single-cot basis, and provided, in addition a room for assembly, research and conference purposes. the civil affairs staging area, fort ord, california, was activated 15 july 1944, by casa general order no 1, which also announced colonel boekel's assumption of command as acting commanding officer. the immediate task of the advance party, in preparation for the arrival of the first contingent, 1 august, was that of cleaning and equipping the assigned buildings. in order to fit the physical facilities for efficient use, there was also considerable minor carpentry, plumbing, signal and engineering work to be done, as well as quartermaster and commissary supplies to be drawn. as a result of strenuous work by the members of the advance party, carried out over long hours, the physical task of moving in was completed by saturday evening, 22 july 1944. on the following monday morning, a field ration mess was opened. casa personnel strength showed little growth from the time of activation of civil affairs holding and staging, area to the end of the year, five months later. the arrival of eight hundred seventy-six (876) navy enlisted men, plus additional army and navy officers, during the last days of the calendar year brought the total strength to one thousand one hundred twenty-four (1,124). considerable additional growth was presaged by the increasing numbers of army and navy officers in civil affairs training schools at six universities. this rapid increase of casa personnel had already put considerable pressure on the physical facilities assigned to casa by the ninth service command. as early as september 1944, commander dillard wrote, that "it is important that we immediately freeze space either here or at the presidio of san francisco in anticipation of future needs" continuing studies of space needs occupied the attention of the command staff. colonel jenkins, the executive officer, reported to the commanding officer, 14 november 1944, as follows, "on the basis that- we may not be able to have the presidio at monterrey and must stay here, i have again made a survey of east garrison of fort ord. just in case we cannot get additional space in the main garrison beyond what has now been allocated to us and cad (civil affairs division) insists that we must care for more than 1200 bodies, which as i wrote you is the maximum that our present space can accommodate. under these circumstances, east garrison would be our only alternative. it will take care of us, but i hope we will not have to go there." colonel harry p. jones, chief of personnel and training branch, cad (civil affairs division), replied to the above memorandum that the original authority to locate at fort ord provided for freezing space for 1625 men and officers. he added that a new request was being submitted, increasing the number to be provided for up to 3000, and including a paragraph to the effect that if fort ord, main garrison is not available, the presidio of monterey would be made available. the commanding officer stated, in response to colonel jones' letter, that, "there has never been any question of lack of accommodations at fort ord. the only question is, "where" in fort ord. ground forces are freezing, from washington a steadily increasing amount of space in main garrison. every indication pointed to a growing monopoly which, unchecked; would have split us between main garrison and east garrison or even pushed us over to east garrison." the civil affairs division, war department, then recommended that a survey be made of the facilities of camp beale in order to compare them with those of east garrison. in the memorandum reporting this comparison the commanding officer expressed his judgment that, "east garrison, while less desirable than main garrison or the presidio of monterey, is much more desirable in every respect than camp beale." he stated also that colonel jenkins, executive officer, and major dickey, chief of por branch of s-3, concurred with him in this judgment. colonel dillard maintained that, "it would be impossible to secure a better location for casa than the presidio of monterrey."the primary obstacle to be overcome in securing the presidio of monterey for casa was the fact that this permanent installation had been inactivated. the war department was experiencing considerable pressure to inactivate more installations, as the result of large scale shipments of personnel to overseas duty. to reactivate the presidio of monterrey was indeed a difficult task. the difficulties were eventually overcome, however, and colonel dillard was able to write on, 24 january 1945 that, "upon my return from a trip to san francisco and shoemaker i learned the welcome news that the presidio of monterrey had been procured for us." war department circular no. 4-0, dated 1 february 1945, and general order no 12 headquarters, ninth service command, 10 formally placed the presidio of monterey in active status, effective 18 january 1945 and established the civil affairs holding and staging area as an activity of the presidio, effective 10 february 1945. the organization and functions of the physical processing and training branch of the operations division (s3) included: the advance party devoted most of its time during the second week at casa to planning the details of the training program which began immediately. the mission of the unit training branch was to train military government units for the successful completion of any military government mission in the field, or for any specific military government mission assigned by a theater commander. the planning section included plans on courses, field problems, panels, demonstrations; estimates of supply and transport needed to execute plans and the supervision of execution needed to complete the plans. the planning section also included the provision of administrative assistants to execute unit training programs as assigned, to revise programs in the light of operation experience, to complete staff work submitted by the problem planning section, to submit original oral or written memoranda for the unit training problems and programs, to undertake the planning and execution of special programs required by higher authority on short notice and to check all field and military government problems with provision headquarters and appropriate functional specialists. a full size civilian camp for displaced persons, occupying approximately ten acres was staked out and outlined in white tape on the presidio of monterrey. the camp layout was based on a recommended plan submitted to the headquarters from the theater...barbed wire fences, sanitary facilities and typical sections of barracks and other buildings were constructed in the area - with detachments participating in the construction. it was anticipated that the camp would make field problems relating to camps take on a more realistic aspect in addition to the training aid, which the actual layout would provide. during the summer of 1945, several paper and plaster models of hilly terrain were provided, also small models of buildings, sanitary facilities, water tanks, etc. training groups were then given the opportunity to set up a model civilian camp. each of these camp layouts was photographed, as the basis for a team contest to see which group could set up the best camp. considerable interest was aroused by this realistic approach to a practical problem. the mission of the information and indoctrination branch was to disseminate general information which would be useful to military government officers in the field, provide speakers with far eastern experience instructional films, the organization of educational panels, to secure education pamphlets and similar materials, prepare and supervise a weekly "convocation" or assembly, to procure and project film for all divisions of casa, and to install and operate a public address system for all divisions. language work was initially included in the interior training section of the planning, processing and training branch, functional division, with major wilbur l. williams, cmp, as section chief. there were two language supervisors, 1st lt harold k. brown, inf, and 1st lt suyeki okumura, inf. instruction was carried on initially by five enlisted instructors of japanese ancestry, s/sgt hironobu hino, t/4 randolph k. inoue, t/4 clarence m. kimura, s/sgt masaru nakagawa, and s/sgt paul j. sakai, the divisional reorganization at casa of 22 november 1944 set up a separate language section, with major myron i. barker, aus, as chief of section, and 1st lt. suyeki okumura, inf, as assistant chief. two additional japanese language informants arrived at the end of december, and fifteen more arrived 5 january 1945, bringing the total to twenty-two. in february, eleven navy officers were assigned to the language section for duty. they constituted a research and production unit. each officer was given a definite project, and attached to him was a group of informants who worked closely with him. two more informants were added to the group in march. by 20 july, the end of the first year of casa, the total number of informants stood at thirty-nine. the number of classes in japanese language was slightly more than fifty, and the number of classes in the chinese language was fourteen. at the end of the first month of japanese language instruction, the officers in charge of the program, 1st lt harold k. brown, inf, and 1st lt. suyeki okumura, inf, made a report to the commanding officer. they mentioned certain problems which had become apparent during the course of the month. for one thing, the instructors had not received any teaching materials from military intelligence school, camp savage, minnesota, from which all of them had come. for reasons of security, they had been asked to turn in all their language materials before they left, but were promised that materials would be shipped as soon as requested by proper authority. request had been made, but no materials had arrived. another problem was created by the different systems of spelling used, (hepburn and block-kennedy) some of the officers having been trained in one system and some in the other. this difficulty was met by mimeographing all teaching materials in both systems. one paragraph of this report is of special interest. a difficult situation was created by the wide variation in language experience and previous training of the officers at casa, the report mentioned above, points out that there were four distinct groups, for each of which a distinct type of language work had to be provided. these groups were: approximately three months of training which was presented differently from the training given to class ii at the same school. in addition to this difference in training, these officers had served in the field for three months, immediately prior to assignment at casa, during which time, the majority had lost all contact with the language. some instruction had been received in reading and writing. seven and one-half months of training in the language, with no loss of contact prior to assignment at casa. elementary training in reading and writing and use of the dictionary. approximately three months of training at the school of military government at the university of virginia. during this training, "naganuma's standard reader" was used as a text, and the officers were learning to read and write simultaneously while learning to speak the language. officers with no previous training in the language, and navy officers who had received very little training at the navy school at columbia university. an interesting and significant observation of the language experience of the officers was made by the acting commanding officer, colonel boekel, in his weekly report to the commander, civil affairs division (cad), dated 25 august 1944. he wrote, "i have made it a practice, whenever possible, to audit the language refresher conferences being conducted here under the supervision of the five language sergeants. i derived the very clear impression that the practical vocabularies of the casa officers and their ability to weave the spoken words into a simple sentence structure were woefully inadequate. i gained the impression too that the vocabulary thus far achieved had to do principally with the ordinary amenities of gracious living and that no special effort had been made thus far to teach civil affairs officers a vocabulary and language structure which would enable them to make practical applications thereof in simple civil affairs tasks. motivated by the foregoing impressions, we prepared a questionnaire. today one hour was devoted to the procurement of ninety-one (91) casa officers' self-evaluation of their area e linguistic ability. in addition, the five sergeant language instructors were directed to regard themselves as the average casa linguist and, without consultation with each other, to furnish a rating of the average casa officer in the same questionnaire...the more significant facts brought out in the questionnaire. the officers in rating themselves claimed a vocabulary which averaged 704 words, and asserted their ability to use 208 words fluently, 275 words fairly well and 192 with difficulty. the japanese sergeant instructors, in rating the average casa. officers, gave them credit for the retention of a 204 word vocabulary of which they could use 97 fluently, 70 fairly well, and 82 with difficulty. the answers to interrogatory 4 in the questionnaire (i.e., the civil affairs problem) indicate that 71% of the officers consider that they are not sufficiently qualified in the use of the language to accomplish the civil affairs mission therein stated. if of this percentage figure there is added the qualified "yes" answers, then only seven (7) officers or approximately 8% themselves equal to the questionnaire language task and 92% are unqualified. four of the sergeant instructors stated emphatically and one of them qualified that the average casa officer would not be able to handle the language part of the civil affairs mission in question. the instructors had been working with these officers for only two weeks and therefore their basis for judgment was perhaps not sufficient. as to the method of instruction at cats (civil affairs training schools), the preponderant opinion seems to be that more emphasis should be placed on conversation and drill in the actual vocabulary required for the accomplishment of the civil affairs mission." perhaps in part as a result of this investigation, vocabularies and drill materials developed at casa did emphasize the use of civil affairs situations, and were therefore realistic and practical. a large amount of such material was developed at casa. language work was initially included in the interior training section of the planning, processing and training branch, functional division, with major wilbur l. williams, cmp, as section chief. there were two language supervisors, 1st lt harold k. brown, inf, and 1st lt suyeki okumura, inf. instruction was carried on initially by five enlisted instructors of japanese ancestry, s/sgt hironobu hino, t/4 randolph k. ideue, t/4 clarence m. kimura, s/sgt masaru nakagawa, and s/sgt paul j. sakai, the divisional reorganization of 22 november 1944 set up separate language section, with major myron i. barker, aus, as chief of section, and 1st lt suyeki okumura, inf, as assistant chief.two additional japanese language informants arrived at the end of december, and fifteen more arrived 5 january 1945, bringing the total to twenty-two. in february, eleven navy officers were assigned to the language section for duty. they constituted a research and production unit. each officer was given a definite project, and attached to him was a group of informants who worked closely with him. two more informants were added to the group in march. 3. by 20 july, the end of the first year of casa, the total number of informants stood at thirty-nine, the number of classes in japanese language; was slightly more than fifty, and the number of classes in the chinese language was fourteen. the language branch rendered service to other casa activities by providing translators, chosen from its staff of nisei informants, insofar as this could be done without interfering with the instructional program. these translators were of special value to the casa outpost of the office of strategic services, and to the research group of s-5 in connection with the writing of military government handbooks and manuals. the officers studying japanese were organized into small groups, and met with the japanese-american enlisted instructors two hours each day, five days a week. relatively little emphasis was placed on reading and writing the japanese language. the primary concern was to develop facility in the use of the spoken language. much attention was given to the development of mimeographed language materials (dialogues, conversations, etc.) dealing specifically with military government situations. the classes in chinese language were developed primarily because of the possibility that casa might be called upon to, send civil affairs officers to the theater for use in formosa or on the china coast. a few officers who had some experience in the use of spoken chinese (mandarin) were called upon to serve as instructors. madame ling-fu yang, formerly curator of the national museum, peking became an instructor in this department, and conducted additional classes for the casa officers who were acting as instructors. functional training was concerned with the preparation of officers for the many specialized functions performed by civil affairs/military government. training of this nature was carried on from the beginning. at first, however, it was so closely integrated with theater survey and planning that no separate branch or section was established for it. when an s-5 division was created, in december 1944, functional training was declared to be the primary mission of the new division. it was not until 3 march 1945 that functional training was transferred to the s-3 or "training" division. special order no 38, 6 march, assigned personnel to the "functional training branch" of the s-3 division. the name of the branch was changed, 10 april, to 'instruction branch" at the same time that its responsibilities were expanded. officers in the general administration section studied the governments of the area at the national, prefecture, city, village and township levels. students in the public safety section concentrated on the public safety operations of the area including: police, fire and civilian defense. arrangements were made with the chief of police, san francisco, and with the warden of san quentin prison, to send groups of casa public safety officers to the san francisco bay area for training in their specialty. officers in the legal and property control section studied the laws and machinery for the administration of justice in the area and in addition, property control. curriculum consisted of a course in oriental agriculture, given at the university of california college of agriculture at davis. and courses of instruction in japanese agriculture at casa. field trips were taken to biggs, california, to study usda rice experiment station; to sacramento, california, to inspect the bercut-richards canning factory, which packed fruit for the armed forces and the f.h. woodruff & sons seed company plant, packaging vegetable seeds for foreign shipment; to the delta area of california, south of sacramento, to study fruit and vegetable production and the handling of japanese labor; and to the california agricultural. exp. station orchard in winters, california, where subtropical fruits were observed and studied on the tree. stops were made at vacaville to inspect the basic products company, onion dehydrating plant; and at berkeley, to study hydroponics (water culture of plants) in the u.s. army air forces laboratory. officers in the economics and labor section studied economics in its different ramifications including agriculture, fisheries, communications, public works and utilities, transportation, industry and resources, and labor relations. training curriculum included mechanisms of banking, public finance and currency control involved in the liberated area. training curriculum included coursework in public works, transportation, utilities and communications. additional training was conducted at camp parks, california, navy construction battalion station. arrangements were made through the military government liaison officer, twelfth naval district, san francisco. first contingent of officers reported to camp parks 4 march 1945. subject matter included: seabee administration, history and advanced base policy. functional components included: cargo stowage; mosquito control; camp sanitation - including drainage; water purification; refrigeration equipment and native materials. these subjects were presented by class lectures, motion pictures and field demonstrations. the coursework for mess supervisors covered several areas that had an immediate impact on civilian sustenance: a training section in sanitation, under the surgeon, was originated in early january 1945, when capt. w.d. sheets, reported for duty. water treating equipment and other sanitary equipment and supplies were immediately ordered. during january the sanitary demonstration area, lectures and training films were utilized in the training program, since no other training aids were available. with the removal of casa to the presidio, early in february, use of the fort ord sanitary demonstration area was eliminated. by the latter part of february, three other sanitary officers had reported for duty, majors milton o lee and howard e. dorst, and capt. w.r. bradlee. the training program was then organized with four hours of instruction in water sanitation (capt. sheets), two hours in waste disposal(capt.bradlee), four hours in food sanitation (maj. lee), four hours in insect and rodent control (maj. dorst), and four hours in field sanitation by all of the above officers. major dorst, the senior officer, was designated chief of section, and capt. sheets continued as property officer. as more training equipment was received, floor space available in the dispensary became inadequate and the sanitary training section was moved to larger quarters in building 5. a new sanitary demonstration area was constructed at the presidio of monterey, at first by officer trainees, and later be enlisted men and prisoners of war. this area contained about forty appliances, and was completely constructed from salvage material, except for cement, with about 1500 man hours of labor. a practice construction area ordered the permanent installations. during training a number of these appliances were in operation. to inaugurate the area, all of the headquarters staff was conducted on a tour in late may. food was prepared on the field ranges and the noon meal was served in the field, mess gear was washed and waste disposal carried out in the field incinerators. water sanitation instruction included: a general discussion of sources of supply, types of equipment, sterilization methods, water discipline, etc. training aids consisted of: lister bag, knapsack filter, testing sets, automatic chlorinator, pumps, pumping and hypo-chlorinator, purification set no. 1 filter, mobile purification unit, distillation unit, charts, water cans and water trailer. instruction

training plan, objectives and responsibilities of civil affairs/military government teams and discussion of general health problems and their solution as applied to mg staff and civilians, with special emphasis on, "health as a command function." the instruction under the medical section included a course on first aid and a lecture tour of the sanitary demonstration area at the east garrison of fort ord. in addition, a two and half day functional training course was given to engineering and medical officers on operation of water treating equipment. this instruction included operation of the following equipment: knapsack type, hand operated water filter; automatic hypochlorinator, pumping and hypochlorinating unit, purification unit no 1 (pressure filter), mobile purification unit, and distillation unit. supplementing the above, instruction and a four-hour lecture tour was given at the ninth service command laboratory on the chemical and bacteriological analyses of water. this course included lectures on principles of waste disposal and a trip to two sewage disposal plants at carmel and salinas. this course covered endemic and epidemic diseases of the pacific area. the course included general symptomatology, methods of spread and special control measures for cholera, plague, scrub typhus, schistosomiasis, filariasis, etc. . in addition to medical training and sanitary training, there was also a section devoted to medical supply training. this course had as its objectives. the work of the governmental organization and administration section began in may 1945 with an analysis of the various ministries of japan's government. the group made suggestions with regard to military government organization for japan at the national level. it drew up plans for the ministries subsection and for the legislative subsection, military government, japan. it developed and printed a ""military government functional chart"" which shows the progressive stages of military government by functions, the availability of native governmental organizations for administration and recommendations for their use. it prepared draft copies of directives for military government, japan. in june the group began preliminary studies of and an outline for a manual on military government, japan. the public health section prepared a list and a map showing location of hospitals and other medical facilities in japan, and a list of medical personnel in japan. it also brought out a functional chart for public health. it outlined and began work on a technical manual. it made a listing of basic drugs to supplement the cad medical units, a flow chart of medical supplies and the draft of a nutrition plan for japan. the public welfare section prepared a list of projects as a guide for its own activities. this list was superseded almost immediately by a new list of projects received from higher authority. the projects listed were charts of the japanese welfare ministry, objectives and policies of military government public welfare work (also to be put into chart form), directives and proclamations, and a series of forms and records. the education section prepared a series of memoranda including immediate objectives of the education section, japan, long range plans for education, administrative organization, and staff requirements in headquarters and in the field. the group undertook the collection of a large number of japanese school textbooks and of other works on education in japan. the chief of section spent five weeks visiting major educational institutions on the pacific coast, collecting japanese textbooks and other materials, and interviewing persons who had some personal experience with education in japan. the group secured the services of translators who began the translation of the more important of the textbooks. two additional memoranda were written; a suggested editorial policy for the revision of japanese textbooks and a proposal that katakana be adopted as the official language. the public safety section prepared a "standing operating procedure for public safety, japan". it made a government vehicle survey, japan. it also studied opium and other narcotic controls. the fire subsection made a survey of fire protection methods in japan, and studied the water system and firefighting equipment of japan. in addition to the usual tasks performed by all branches and sections, the counter intelligence section carried on research on japanese associations and societies, and on subversive individuals. the finance branch initiated and forwarded a request to the treasury department, washington, for data on property in japan, korea, formosa and manchukuo. it was the function of the supply branch to consolidate and revise the t/0 and e's (table of organization and equipment) submitted to it by all the other branches and sections of the planning staff. it also prepared a plan for overall theater supply procedures - military government, japan. the economics branch included a large number of sections, subsections, units, and produced a considerable quantity of material of a research and survey nature and also a series of plans for the control of japan's economic institutions. among many other items, the section produced a memorandum of basic policies and activities considered essential to maximizing the availability of supplies of food in japan, a study of japanese agriculture and related problems, a systematic digest of japanese agricultural agencies, channels of authority and functions of various units, a study of land tenure in relation to farm labor, a study on problems of increasing agricultural production, an outline of policies plans, procedure, etc., with reference to land reclamation, and a study of the organization and operation of the ministry of agriculture. in addition to its work on japanese agriculture, the section did considerable work of highly classified nature on agricultural problems of the east china coast. this was based on the assumption that s-5(planning) might be charged with the responsibility for planning military government operations for this area. one of the projects proposed by the water transportation subsection and approved by the steering committee was that of surveying port petroleum problems. this study had three parts. the legal branch prepared a series of overlay maps showing the location of various types of courts and penal institutions in japan. its primary efforts were devoted to the study of the ministry of justice. the group prepared a chart of the organization and bureaus of the ministry. it undertook a detailed study of the functions of the ministry, and prepared the outline of a plan for military government supervision of the ministry. the public works and utilities branch prepared a draft memorandum on the scope and principal functions of the electric power and water utilities of japan. it initiated a population study of each of the forty-six prefectures and of two hundred municipalities of japan with the object of determining the utilities requirements of japan, in july 1945 the group began to compile an index of the water works of japan. research unit#1 operated over a longer period of time with a much larger staff than any other research group. its objective was to produce an informational volume, covering a great many aspects of japanese life, on each of the forty-six prefectures of japan. the number of pages in each completed volume varied from 125 to 335 with an approximate average of 175 pages. the amount of research necessary to secure adequate information for the writing of these volumes was enormous. the cooperation of oss/casa outpost enabled the research group to secure access to materials drawn from all over the united states, and even from foreign countries. translation facilities of oss were provided, as were also the facilities of the translation pool of the japanese language school, university of michigan, and the translation pool. provost marshal general's office, washington. work on the manuals was delayed by the inability of the research staff to secure the services of an adequate number of typists. references to this difficulty are repeated many times in the weekly reports of the division. finally, when a deadline was set, it became necessary to transfer typists from other activities, and of course, for everyone to work under considerable pressure. by 20 july, 7 of the manuals had been completed and sent to oss/san francisco for off-set printing. even a cursory examination of the completed prefectural manuals shows that the group did a highly commendable job. most of the members of the research group were not trained in research. they had to work under pressure and do all kinds of work, even to editing and proofreading, and in some cases, typing. the completed volumes probably contain more information about japan than is to be found in any other single source in the english language. the finance group requested, during the week prior to 1 june 1945, that they be authorized to initiate a project which developed into a technical manual named " a manual on the administration of japanese public and private finance" the request for authorization was approved by the steering committee. the outline of the volume was as follows: like the prefectural manuals, the above work required a tremendous amount of research, which, in turn, necessitated the procurement of documentary material from many outside sources. the completed volume of 550 pages is probably the most complete source of financial information on japan that is available in english. the government research group was absorbed into the planning section on governmental organization and administration, and the two groups worked as one. for this reason, there are no separate reports on the work of research unit #3. this project began in march 1945 as an effort to explain something of the psychology of the japanese people with the objective of using this psychology in connection with military government control of civilians. the title of the project, as originally stated, was:, "field techniques of japanese civilian control". the group was, however, reorganized, the title and outline changed, and the work became a "handbook on japanese behavior and customs" by the latter part of july 1945 the volume was completed in rough draft form, preparatory to editing and revision. the main efforts of the public health research group were devoted to the compilation of a "japanese-english medical vocabulary and phrase book" the vocabulary items to be used were first selected by a group of medical officers assigned to this group. the english terms were then translated into japanese by the japanese language instructors at casa. the agricultural research group, like the government research group, worked with its section of the planning staff so completely that little distinction is possible. it spent considerable time studying the fruit and vegetable production of japan, the forests and forest products of japan, and undertook a classified study of food supplies and agriculture on the east china coast. the east china coast study included such items as problems of an adequate supply of protein foods, problems of administration, food storage, currency, price control, rationing, etc. at the request of the theater, major irwin m. isaacs carried on two investigations. the office of strategic services established an outpost at the civil affairs holding and staging area, fort ord, california, effective 1 february 1945. this activity was established as the result of a request made by the director, civil affairs division, washington, to(then) brigadier general william donovan director, office of strategic services. the request had its origin in the desire of major general hilldring, director, cad (civil affairs division), to duplicate for the pacific theater the successful work of the oss at shrivenham, england, in helping plan for military government in the european theater the understanding arrived at between the oss and the civil affairs division included the following salient points: the oss personnel who served at the casa outpost were specialists in various professional fields. the permanent staff was selected to provide a wide range of such specialties, and consultants who were brought in from time to time were also selected for their specialized knowledge. the staff and consultants included army, navy, marine corps officers and civilian personnel. the functions of the outpost fell into three broad categories: casa early conceived the idea of producing an intelligence manual for each of the japanese prefectures. the purpose of the manual was to provide the military government officer with a single volume of information, not elsewhere available in organized form, of a local and regional nature. oss was asked to provide research materials of a classified nature, expert direction and supervision of research methods and techniques, and final editing and approval of each manual. in addition, a map packet was to constitute an integral part of each manual. each map-packet was to contain 20 to 30 maps selected by oss, covering the prefecture and its parts, and was also to include a map made especially for military government. oss was to procure maps already produced from its own collection, from the hydrographic office, g-2, and army map service. the map, which was to be especially made for military government, was to be produced by casa officers, making base maps and overlays, and oss/washington was to care for drafting and reproduction. for research and writing of the textual part of the manuals, casa assigned an average of 75 army and navy officers, who worked about six months on the project. oss provided classified documentary material and aided the casa library in the procurement of non classified material. oss also established the research techniques and methods, evaluated materials, and worked directly with the officers in the collection of data and writing of text. the production volume was large: the provost marshal general's office arranged for the printing of 75,000 volumes of manuals, the number of copies for each prefecture varying with the importance of the prefecture involved. each manual averaged 175 pages. about 1,000,000 maps were required for map packets. as the pace of operations in the pacific theater increased, it became apparent that the program, as originally timed, would not be completed quickly enough. casa and oss therefore greatly expedited the production of a few copies each of manuals on thirteen leading prefectures. oss/san francisco cooperated to accomplish reproduction, and the first copies, together with map packets, were sent to the theater in time to arrive there by the time american occupation began. the regular edition, was produced later over a number of weeks. oss/washington made a major contribution to the prefectural project by making available its research resources, its facilities, and its personnel in an advisory capacity. oss/san francisco also stood by at all times with assistance and took over entirely the reproduction of the provisional edition of manuals on thirteen prefectures. the manuals were received with commendation and appreciation by all those, interested in intelligence materials pertaining to the far east, who had an opportunity to examine them. the planning activities of the outpost were consultative in nature. a few outstanding contributions by the oss outpost include: creation of two detailed charts. these charts were jointly produced by oss and s-5 division, casa and were reproduced in quantity by oss/san francisco. since the charts were incorporated in various economic directives, effects of this research and analysis are far-reaching. the two charts were: final review and approval by oss consultants of all proclamations and ordinances prepared at casa for use by military government in occupying japan. this was done under short deadlines and was accomplished by the outpost furnishing two experts on japanese law and japanese language. one of the experts was formally commended by the casa command for his participation in this project. review of proposed bibliographies to be taken to the theater by various planning groups. in this task, the accumulated knowledge of 0ss staff members was of great help to the casa planning sections. this category of functions contains some of the most outstanding services performed by the outpost. these services were rendered to various divisions and in some instances were of incalculable benefit to casa and the military government program for the far east. among the most noteworthy of these services, are the following: from its inception, the outpost included in its staff a map intelligence analyst. the analyst selected and recommended all the maps for map packets in the prefectural project, procured and maintained on a catalogue basis all important maps covering the far east and provided maps for cartographers making maps for the prefectural project. the collection was estimated at approximately 30,000 sheets and this represented virtually the heart of all map activity at casa. not only did the analyst provide maps, but he also prepared written articles, met with discussion groups and served as an expert consultant to casa groups on all map matters. for example, in arriving at a decision as to what maps were to be included in kits for military government officers, the primary selection was made by the map intelligence analyst. the casa map instruction program was revised with his assistance. requests made upon the outpost for service averaged upward of 300 each month and there was at all times a large number of maps in circulation. requests originated largely from the training division (s-3) and the planning and research division (s-5), but oss also provided, maps required for a variety of purposes, from supplying maps for the map-room operated by s-2 to meeting occasional requests from fort ord. maps provided, covered a wide range in scales topics subject and purpose. although oss came as a consultant and therefore could not attempt to supply maps in quantity, help was given casa in obtaining maps through the army map service, and the development of a map function by the casa library was accomplished with the help of oss. although the outpost maintained a large collection of classified documents covering the far east, there was careful avoidance of assuming a library function. the outpost did, however, maintain close liaison with the casa library and endeavored to be helpful in obtaining various materials needed for planning and training. the oss experts were familiar with all types of source material, both domestic and foreign, and provided much information on what was needed and where it was obtainable. in a very few weeks the outpost built up an impressive collection of the best available documentary intelligence on the far east. this collection was constantly increased through the close cooperation of oss/washington, various oss offices in continental united states, and offices and outposts throughout the world. some of the documents maintained by the oss outpost included. this file consisted of approximately 15,000 items covering key japanese personalities. not only was the file of great value to the prefectural project, but also to training groups and to various planning sections. although the outpost had clearly specified to casa that oss could not provide translation, the dire need at casa led the agency on several occasions to provide translations by its outpost staff, by its washington staff or from other oss sources. in addition, the outpost endeavored to help casa obtain an adequate number of translators so that casa could more effectively do its job. for about three months after its inception the outpost published a weekly bulletin entitled, "far east intelligence notes" this weekly contained various analytical articles prepared by outpost personnel and was based upon information from classified sources and of interest to military government officers. the notes frequently included maps. the pressure of work led to the suspension of the weekly and the outpost began irregular publication of "special intelligence reports" each report covered one topic, was concerned with military government problems in the far east and was issued at intervals of ten days to two weeks. as in the case of the "far east intelligence notes," information was drawn from classified sources. the circulation list of the notes was small but impressive. copies were sent to all civil affairs training schools, to the school of military government, charlottesville, virginia, to the oss washington, to the civil affairs division, washington, to the provost marshal general's office, washington to cincpac (commander in chief pacific), cincpoa (commander in chief pacific ocean areas) and to various oss outposts. the reports were distributed only at casa. from: "casalog" vol i, no 2, 18 april 1945, roosevelt memorial ceremony 14 april 1945. casa paid tribute to franklin delano roosevelt, the man who gave his life for humanity, at one o'clock last saturday afternoon on soldier's field. at the same time, (4 pm eastern war time) simple funeral services were being held in the east room of the white house, where his body lay draped in state. the ceremony here was part of the memorial service conducted by all army installations in this country and many overseas. it was attended by all casa training companies. headquarters company, ship's company, members of the casa staff, and civilian employees. concerning president roosevelt, colonel hardy c. dillard, commanding officer, said, from: "casalog" vol i, no 2, 18 april 1945, award of bronze star to lt col presley w. melton. 25 april 1945. civil affairs activities received additional recognition ... when lieutenant colonel presley w. melton, ordnance corps, received the bronze star for meritorious service in connection with military operations as a member of the g-5 section of general eisenhower's headquarters, european theater of operations. the award was presented at a simple ceremony before the casa staff by colonel hardy c. dillard, commanding officer. automation bias is the propensity for humans to favor suggestions from automated decision-making systems and to ignore contradictory information made without automation, even if it is correct. automation bias stems from the social psychology literature that found a bias in human-human interaction that showed that people assign more positive evaluations to decisions made by humans than to a neutral object. the same type of positivity bias has been found for human-automation interaction, where the automated decisions are rated more positively than neutral. this has become a growing problem for decision making as intensive care units, nuclear power plants, and aircraft cockpits have increasingly integrated computerized system monitors and decision aids to mostly factor out possible human error. errors of automation bias tend to occur when decision-making is dependent on computers or other automated aids and the human is in an observatory role but able to make decisions. examples of automation bias range from urgent matters like flying a plane on automatic pilot to such mundane matters as the use of spell-checking programs. an operator's trust in the system can also lead to different interactions with the system, including system use, misuse, disuse, and abuse. the tendency toward overreliance on automated aids is known as "automation misuse". misuse of automation can be seen when a user fails to properly monitor an automated system, or when the automated system is used when it should not be. this is in contrast to disuse, where the user does not properly utilize the automation either by turning it off or ignoring it. both misuse and disuse can be problematic, but automation bias is directly related to misuse of the automation through either too much trust in the abilities of the system, or defaulting to using heuristics. misuse can lead to lack of monitoring of the automated system or blind agreement with an automation suggestion, categorized by two types of errors, errors of omission and errors of commission, respectively. automation use and disuse can also influence stages of information processing: information acquisition, information analysis, decision making and action selection, and action implementation. for example, information acquisition, the first step in information processing, is the process by which a user registers input via the senses. an automated engine gauge might assist the user with information acquisition through simple interface features—such as highlighting changes in the engine's performance—thereby directing the user's selective attention. when faced with issues originating from an aircraft, pilots may tend to overtrust an aircraft's engine gauges, losing sight of other possible malfunctions not related to the engine. this attitude is a form of automation complacency and misuse. if, however, the pilot devotes time to interpret the engine gauge, and manipulate the aircraft accordingly, only to discover that the flight turbulence has not changed, the pilot may be inclined to ignore future error recommendations conveyed by an engine gauge—a form of automation complacency leading to disuse. automation bias can take the form of commission errors, which occur when users follow an automated directive without taking into account other sources of information. conversely, omission errors occur when automated devices fail to detect or indicate problems and the user does not notice because they are not properly monitoring the system. errors of omission have been shown to result from cognitive vigilance decrements, while errors of commission result from a combination of a failure to take information into account and an excessive trust in the reliability of automated aids. errors of commission occur for three reasons: (1) overt redirection of attention away from the automated aid; (2) diminished attention to the aid; (3) active discounting of information that counters the aid's recommendations. omission errors occur when the human decision-maker fails to notice an automation failure, either due to low vigilance or overtrust in the system. for example, a spell-checking program incorrectly marking a word as misspelled and suggesting an alternative would be an error of commission, and a spell-checking program failing to notice a misspelled word would be an error of omission. in these cases, automation bias could be observed by a user accepting the alternative word without consulting a dictionary, or a user not noticing the incorrectly misspelled word and assuming all the words are correct without reviewing the words. training that focused on the reduction of automation bias and related problems has been shown to lower the rate of commission errors, but not of omission errors. the presence of automatic aids, as one source puts it, "diminishes the likelihood that decision makers will either make the cognitive effort to seek other diagnostic information or process all available information in cognitively complex ways." it also renders users more likely to conclude their assessment of a situation too hastily after being prompted by an automatic aid to take a specific course of action. according to one source, there are three main factors that lead to automation bias. first, the human tendency to choose the least cognitive approach to decision-making, which is called the cognitive miser hypothesis. second, the tendency of humans to view automated aids as having an analytical ability superior to their own. third, the tendency of humans to reduce their own effort when sharing tasks, either with another person or with an automated aid. other factors leading to an over-reliance on automation and thus to automation bias include inexperience in a task (though inexperienced users tend to be most benefited by automated decision support systems), lack of confidence in one's own abilities, a lack of readily available alternative information, or desire to save time and effort on complex tasks or high workloads. it has been shown that people who have greater confidence in their own decision-making abilities tend to be less reliant on external automated support, while those with more trust in decision support systems (dss) were more dependent upon it. one study, published in the "journal of the american medical informatics association", found that the position and prominence of advice on a screen can impact the likelihood of automation bias, with prominently displayed advice, correct or not, is more likely to be followed; another study, however, seemed to discount the importance of this factor. according to another study, a greater amount of on-screen detail can make users less "conservative" and thus increase the likelihood of automation bias. one study showed that making individuals accountable for their performance or the accuracy of their decisions reduced automation bias. "the availability of automated decision aids," states one study by linda skitka, "can sometimes feed into the general human tendency to travel the road of least cognitive effort." one study also found that when users are made aware of the reasoning process employed by a decision support system, they are likely to adjust their reliance accordingly, thus reducing automation bias. the performance of jobs by crews instead of individuals acting alone does not necessarily eliminate automation bias. one study has shown that when automated devices failed to detect system irregularities, teams were no more successful than solo performers at responding to those irregularities. training that focuses on automation bias in aviation has succeeded in reducing omission errors by student pilots. it has been shown that automation failure is followed by a drop in operator trust, which in turn is succeeded by a slow recovery of trust. the decline in trust after an initial automation failure has been described as the first-failure effect. by the same token, if automated aids prove to be highly reliable over time, the result is likely to be a heightened level of automation bias. this is called "learned carelessness." in cases where system confidence information is provided to users, that information itself can become a factor in automation bias. studies have shown that the more external pressures are exerted on an individual's cognitive capacity, the more he or she may rely on external support. although automation bias has been the subject of many studies, there continue to be complaints that automation bias remains ill-defined and that reporting of incidents involving automation bias is unsystematic. a review of various automation bias studies categorized the different types of tasks where automated aids were used as well as what function the automated aids served. tasks where automated aids were used were categorized as monitoring tasks, diagnosis tasks, or treatment tasks. types of automated assistance were listed as alerting automation, which track important changes and alert the user, decision support automation, which may provide a diagnosis or recommendation, or implementation automation, where the automated aid performs a specified task. the concept of automation bias is viewed as overlapping with automation-induced complacency, also known more simply as automation complacency. like automation bias, it is a consequence of the misuse of automation and involves problems of attention. while automation bias involves a tendency to trust decision-support systems, automation complacency involves insufficient attention to and monitoring of automation output, usually because that output is viewed as reliable. "although the concepts of complacency and automation bias have been discussed separately as if they were independent," writes one expert, "they share several commonalities, suggesting they reflect different aspects of the same kind of automation misuse." it has been proposed, indeed, that the concepts of complacency and automation bias be combined into a single "integrative concept" because these two concepts "might represent different manifestations of overlapping automation-induced phenomena" and because "automation-induced complacency and automation bias represent closely linked theoretical concepts that show considerable overlap with respect to the underlying processes." automation complacency has been defined as "poorer detection of system malfunctions under automation compared with under manual control." nasa's aviation safety reporting system (asrs) defines complacency as "self-satisfaction that may result in non-vigilance based on an unjustified assumption of satisfactory system state." several studies have indicated that it occurs most often when operators are engaged in both manual and automated tasks at the same time. in turn, the operators' perceptions of the automated system's reliability can influence the way in which the operator interacts with the system. endsley (2017) describes how high system reliability can lead users to disengage from monitoring systems, thereby increasing monitoring errors, decreasing situational awareness, and interfering with an operator's ability to re-assume control of the system in the event performance limitations have been exceeded. this complacency can be sharply reduced when automation reliability varies over time instead of remaining constant, but is not reduced by experience and practice. both expert and inexpert participants can exhibit automation bias as well as automation complacency. neither of these problems can be easily overcome by training. the term "automation complacency" was first used in connection with aviation accidents or incidents in which pilots, air-traffic controllers, or other workers failed to check systems sufficiently, assuming that everything was fine when, in reality, an accident was about to occur. operator complacency, whether or not automation-related, has long been recognized as a leading factor in air accidents. as such, perceptions of reliability, in general, can result in a form of automation irony, in which more automation can decrease cognitive workload but increase the opportunity for monitoring errors. in contrast, low automation can increase workload but decrease the opportunity for monitoring errors. take, for example, a pilot flying through inclement weather, in which continuous thunder interferes with the pilot's ability to understand information transmitted by an air traffic controller (atc). despite how much effort is allocated to understanding information transmitted by atc, the pilot's performance is limited by the source of information needed for the task. the pilot therefore has to rely on automated gauges in the cockpit to understand flight path information. if the pilot perceives the automated gauges to be highly reliable, the amount of effort needed to understand atc and automated gauges may decrease. moreover, if the automated gauges are perceived to be highly reliable, the pilot may ignore those gauges to devote mental resources for deciphering information transmitted by atc. in so doing, the pilot becomes a complacent monitor, thereby running the risk of missing critical information conveyed by the automated gauges. if, however, the pilot perceives the automated gauges to be unreliable, the pilot will now have to interpret information from atc and automated gauges simultaneously. this creates scenarios in which the operator may be expending unnecessary cognitive resources when the automation is in fact reliable, but also increasing the odds of identifying potential errors in the weather gauges should they occur. to calibrate the pilot's perception of reliability, automation should be designed to maintain workload at appropriate levels while also ensuring the operator remains engaged with monitoring tasks. the operator should be less likely to disengage from monitoring when the system's reliability can change as compared to a system that has consistent reliability (parasuraman, 1993). to some degree, user complacency offsets the benefits of automation, and when an automated system's reliability level falls below a certain level, then automation will no longer be a net asset. one 2007 study suggested that this automation occurs when the reliability level reaches approximately 70%. other studies have found that automation with a reliability level below 70% can be of use to persons with access to the raw information sources, which can be combined with the automation output to improve performance. automation bias has been examined across many research fields. it can be a particularly major concern in aviation, medicine, process control, and military command-and-control operations. at first, discussion of automation bias focused largely on aviation. automated aids have played an increasing role in cockpits, taking a growing role in the control of such flight tasks as determining the most fuel-efficient routes, navigating, and detecting and diagnosing system malfunctions. the use of these aids, however, can lead to less attentive and less vigilant information seeking and processing on the part of human beings. in some cases, human beings may place more confidence in the misinformation provided by flight computers than in their own skills. an important factor in aviation-related automation bias is the degree to which pilots perceive themselves as responsible for the tasks being carried out by automated aids. one study of pilots showed that the presence of a second crewmember in the cockpit did not affect automation bias. a 1994 study compared the impact of low and high levels of automation (loa) on pilot performance, and concluded that pilots working with a high loa spent less time reflecting independently on flight decisions. in another study, all of the pilots given false automated alerts that instructed them to shut off an engine did so, even though those same pilots insisted in an interview that they would not respond to such an alert by shutting down an engine, and would instead have reduced the power to idle. one 1998 study found that pilots with approximately 440 hours of flight experience detected more automation failures than did nonpilots, although both groups showed complacency effects. a 2001 study of pilots using a cockpit automation system, the engine-indicating and crew-alerting system (eicas), showed evidence of complacency. the pilots detected fewer engine malfunctions when using the system than when performing the task manually. in a 2005 study, experienced air-traffic controllers used high-fidelity simulation of an atc (free flight) scenario that involved the detection of conflicts among "self-separating" aircraft. they had access to an automated device that identified potential conflicts several minutes ahead of time. when the device failed near the end of the simulation process, considerably fewer controllers detected the conflict than when the situation was handled manually. other studies have produced similar findings. two studies of automation bias in aviation discovered a higher rate of commission errors than omission errors, while another aviation study found 55% omission rates and 0% commission rates. automation-related omissions errors are especially common during the cruise phase. when a china airlines flight lost power in one engine, the autopilot attempted to correct for this problem by lowering the left wing, an action that hid the problem from the crew. when the autopilot was disengaged, the airplane rolled to the right and descended steeply, causing extensive damage. the 1983 shooting down of a korean airlines 747 over soviet airspace occurred because the korean crew "relied on automation that had been inappropriately set up, and they never checked their progress manually." clinical decision support systems (cdss) are designed to aid clinical decision-making. they have the potential to effect a great improvement in this regard, and to result in improved patient outcomes. yet while cdss, when used properly, bring about an overall improvement in performance, they also cause errors that may not be recognized owing to automation bias. one danger is that the incorrect advice given by these systems may cause users to change a correct decision that they have made on their own. given the highly serious nature of some of the potential consequences of ab in the health-care field, it is especially important to be aware of this problem when it occurs in clinical settings. sometimes automation bias in clinical settings is a major problem that renders cdss, on balance, counterproductive; sometimes it is minor problem, with the benefits outweighing the damage done. one study found more automation bias among older users, but it was noted that could be a result not of age but of experience. studies suggest, indeed, that familiarity with cdss often leads to desensitization and habituation effects. although automation bias occurs more often among persons who are inexperienced in a given task, inexperienced users exhibit the most performance improvement when they use cdss. in one study, the use of cdss improved clinicians' answers by 21%, from 29% to 50%, with 7% of correct non-cdss answers being changed incorrectly. a 2005 study found that when primary-care physicians used electronic sources such as pubmed, medline, and google, there was a "small to medium" increase in correct answers, while in an equally small percentage of instances the physicians were misled by their use of those sources, and changed correct to incorrect answers. studies in 2004 and 2008 that involved the effect of automated aids on diagnosis of breast cancer found clear evidence of automation bias involving omission errors. cancers diagnosed in 46% of cases without automated aids were discovered in only 21% of cases with automated aids that failed to identify the cancer. automation bias can be a crucial factor in the use of intelligent decision support systems for military command-and-control operations. one 2004 study found that automation bias effects have contributed to a number of fatal military decisions, including friendly-fire killings during the iraq war. researchers have sought to determine the proper loa for decision support systems in this field. automation complacency is also a challenge for automated driving systems in which the human only has to monitor the system or act as a fallback driver. this is for example discussed in the report of national transportation safety board about the fatal accident between an uber test vehicle and pedestrian elaine herzberg. automation bias can be mitigated by the design of automated systems, such as reducing the prominence of the display, decreasing detail or complexity of information displayed, or couching automated assistance as supportive information rather than as directives or commands. training on an automated system, which includes introducing deliberate errors has been shown to be significantly more effective at reducing automation bias than just informing users that errors can occur. however, excessive checking and questioning automated assistance can increase time pressures and complexity of tasks thus reducing the benefits of automated assistance, so design of an automated decision support system can balance positive and negative effects rather than attempt to eliminate negative effects. the 2013–14 lipscomb bisons men's basketball team represented lipscomb university during the 2013–14 ncaa division i men's basketball season. the bisons, led by first year head coach casey alexander, played their home games at allen arena and were members of the atlantic sun conference. they finished the season 15–15, 10–8 in a-sun play to finish in a three way tie for fourth place. they lost in the quarterfinals of the atlantic sun tournament to east tennessee state.

marys challenger" is a freight-carrying vessel operating on the north american great lakes built in 1906. originally an ore boat, she spent most of her career as a cement carrier when much larger ore boats became common. after a 107-year-long working career as a self-propelled boat, she was converted into a barge and paired with the tug "prentiss brown" as an integrated tug-barge. before conversion, she was the oldest operating self-propelled lake freighter on the great lakes, as well as being one of the last freight-carrying vessels on the great lakes to be powered by steam engines. the vessel was launched on february 7, 1906, by great lakes engineering works in ecorse, michigan. the shipyard had received an order to rivet together the plates of a hull for what was then the booming minnesota iron ore trade. soon the large boat, christened "william p. snyder", was shuttling hematite for the shenango furnace company. "william p. snyder" was beginning her working life at the same time as the development of the assembly line for bolting together consumer goods made with steel, such as automobiles. iron ore boats would have plenty of work to do. "william p. snyder" also carried iron ore to furnaces to make munitions used in world war i and world war ii. originally powered by two scotch boilers, the vessel, by now renamed "elton hoyt ii", was repowered in 1950 with a skinner unaflow steam engine and two watertube boilers. this would be the first of five separate renamings as the vessel repeatedly changed owners. too small by the 1960s to serve as a profitable ore boat, the vessel was laid up and then, in 1966, plucked out of a freshwater boneyard for reconversion and new life as a cement carrier. now based in charlevoix, michigan, the aging steamship shuttled powdered cement from northern michigan to a wide variety of roadbuilding contractors in various port locations on the great lakes. during her second half-century of life the vessel, which took on the name of "st. marys challenger", became a favorite of boatwatchers up and down the great lakes as a final example of the riveted steamships of the second industrial revolution. in november 2013 "st. marys challenger" reached the end of her working life as a self-propelled vessel. she steamed to the bay shipbuilding co. in sturgeon bay, wisconsin, to be cut down to an articulated lake barge pushed by a dedicated tugboat. the refitting of the former steamship lake carrier as a barge was described as a work with a cost of more than $10 million. the tug "prentiss brown" had been built in 1967 in gulfport, texas and worked in florida and new york before coming to the great lakes in 2008. the two-element vessel combination resumed the dedicated transport of powdered cement on the great lakes. in this trade, it was described in 2019 as making about 30 annual trips to the port of chicago. the lake vessel's now-redundant pilothouse was conserved and, in spring 2015, was donated to the national museum of the great lakes for display in toledo, ohio. pilothouse restoration work has uncovered the vessel's original name, "william p. snyder". haukedalen is a village in sunnfjord municipality in vestland county, norway. the village is located in the haukedalen valley at the northwestern end of the lake haukedalsvatnet. the village lies in a fairly remote valley surrounded by the gaularfjellet mountains. the town of førde lies about to the west. haukedalen church is located in the village. the glaciers grovabreen and jøstafonn are both about to the northeast and east respectively. holsen is a village in sunnfjord municipality in vestland county, norway. the village is located at the eastern end of the lake holsavatnet, along county road 13. the town of førde lies about to the west, and the village of haukedalen lies about to the east. holsen is the site of holsen church and holsen school. bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum chloride is a metal phosphine complex with the formula ptcl[p(ch)]. cis- and trans isomers are known. the cis isomer is a white crystalline powder, while the trans isomer is yellow. both isomers are square planar about the central platinum atom. the cis isomer is used primarily as a reagent for the synthesis of other platinum compounds. the cis isomer is the prepared by heating solutions of platinum(ii) chlorides with triphenylphosphine. for example, starting from potassium tetrachloroplatinate: the trans isomer is the prepared by treating potassium trichloro(ethylene)platinate(ii) (zeise's salt) with triphenylphosphine: with heating or in the presence of excess pph, the trans isomer converts to the cis complex. the latter complex is the thermodynamic product due to triphenylphosphine being a strong trans effect ligand. in "cis"-bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum chloride, the average pt-p has a bond distance of 2.261 å and the average pt-cl has a bond distance of 2.346 å. edward glynne millward (born june 1930), also known as tedi millward, is a former welsh nationalist politician. married to silvia hart, they had two children: llio, who is an actress and singer; and andras, an author and martial arts trainer, who died in october 2016. millward studied at cathays high school in cardiff and then the university college of south wales, before becoming a lecturer. he became active in plaid cymru. he jointly founded the welsh language society ("cymdeithas yr iaith") along with prominent welsh historian john davies at a plaid cymru summer school in the summer of 1962. millward stood for the party twice in cardiganshire at the 1966 general election and montgomeryshire in 1970, but was not elected. in 1966, he was elected as vice-president of plaid. he had just completed a two-year term as vice-president of plaid cymru when he was asked to teach welsh to prince charles ahead of his investiture as prince of wales. this took place over nine weeks at the university of wales, aberystwyth. millward subsequently served as plaid's spokesperson on water policy, in which role he advocated non-violent direct action against the construction of new reservoirs. in 1976, he was libelled by willie hamilton, who claimed that he had been involved in terrorist activities while tutoring charles; he received £1,000 in a settlement. millward subsequently focused on his career as an academic, lecturing in welsh at aberystwyth. in the early 1980s, he supported gwynfor evans' successful campaign for a welsh language television station. in 2003, he launched a campaign for a centre to commemorate dafydd ap gwilym. he was played by mark lewis jones in the netflix series "the crown" where he is shown teaching the prince of wales welsh. the episode entitled “tywysog cymru” (prince of wales) was praised for using the welsh language in much of its dialogue, and was described as "incredibly useful" in promoting welsh around the world. the 2014 sec championship game was played on saturday, december 6, 2014, in the georgia dome in atlanta, georgia, and determined the 2014 football champion of the southeastern conference (sec). the game was played between western division champion alabama and eastern division champion missouri. missouri was the designated home team, and the game was televised by cbs for the fourteenth straight year. in the game, alabama defeated missouri 42–13 and captured their 24th sec football championship. the winner of the sec championship game had competed in the last 8 bcs national championship games, posting a 6–2 record. this was the inaugural season of the college football playoff, replacing the bowl championship series. the winner of the game, if not selected for the playoff, would normally have played in the sugar bowl. however, because that year's sugar bowl was to host a national semifinal playoff game, the team would be sent to either the cotton bowl, peach bowl, or the fiesta bowl. the tide began their season with a 4–0 start before being upset by no. 11 ole miss on october 4. since then, they won their last seven games, including knocking off no. 1 mississippi state. alabama closed out the regular season with a 55–44 win over no. 15 auburn to avenge last year's loss, and finished 7–1 in conference play, 11–1 overall. the crimson tide are entering their 9th sec championship game, having won in their last two appearances (and eventually the bcs national championship game), and have a 4–4 overall record in the game. alabama was able to clinch the western division on november 29 prior to the iron bowl game kicking off, as ole miss defeated mississippi state in the egg bowl to drop mississippi state to 6–2 in sec play. the tigers got off to 4–2 start to open the year, suffering early home losses against indiana and no. 13 georgia. the tigers then won six consecutive games to finish the regular season with a 7–1 conference record, and 10–2 overall record. the tigers are making their second straight appearance in the sec championship game; last year's team fell to eventual national runner-up auburn 42–59. the tigers were able to clinch the eastern division after defeating arkansas on november 28. alabama scored on the game's opening drive to take a quick 7-0 lead, and a long touchdown pass from quarterback blake sims to receiver deandrew white early in the second quarter extended the lead to 14-0. missouri's offense pieced together a response, but the drive fizzled out and ended in a field goal. another bama touchdown late in the quarter gave the crimson tide a 21-3 halftime lead. missouri fought their way back into the game in the third quarter, ripping off 10 points to cut the alabama lead to 8. unfortunately for the tigers, they would fail to score for the remainder of the game, as alabama scored three unanswered touchdowns to secure a 42-13 victory. the win gave alabama its 24th sec championship, sims set an sec championship game record for completion percentage, and wide receiver amari cooper set both the sec record for most receptions in a single season and the record for most receptions in the sec championship game. holy trinity episcopal church is a historic building at 211 trinity place in west palm beach. it was deemed eligible for listing on the national register of historic places on december 31, 1998, but was not listed due to objections from the property owner. holy trinity episcopal church was formed in 1896 (not long after the railroad to west palm beach was completed). services were held in the community building and library known as the "free reading room" on the lakefront. this building had been donated to the town by c. j. clarke and was brought by barge from his property on the east side of the lake. at that time there were about 60 resident members. a small church was erected in 1900. the two lots of land for the church donated by henry flagler and a mrs. marvin at the corner of dixie and evernia. the location was described as “the edge of the town and in the jungle.” the first regular services were conducted in 1897. the building was moved in 1917 to the present location at a site costing almost $24,000 which reached from olive to the lakefront. at 211 trinity place, it overlooks the intracoastal waterway. the first service was held in the new spanish colonial architecture/ mission revival architecture building on february 24, 1924. the building was designed by l. phillips clarke of harvey and clarke (he also designed parish hall in 1929 and the new rectory and sunday school rooms). wilcox bros. were the contractors and did repair work after it suffered hurricane damage in 1928. the "john, the lord chamberlain" series is a series of historical mystery novels by mary reed and eric mayer. also known as the "john the eunuch" mysteries, the novels feature john, emperor justinian's lord chamberlain, a eunuch who solves mysteries in 6th-century constantinople. "publishers weekly" praises the series' "subtle, well-drawn characters, from the ascetic john to the capricious and enigmatic justinian; deft descriptive detail revealing life in the late roman empire; and sharp dialogue make this another winner in this outstanding historical series." the life story of john the lord chamberlain (sometimes also known as john the eununch) is told in disconnected episodes throughout all the books, but the series begins with john being a freed ex-slave who now serves the emperor justinian as the imperial chamberlain. john was born somewhere in greece to a rich family and was sent to the academy at athens to learn under the scholar philo (bk 2) but grew impatient and left the academy to serve as a mercenary overseas, going as far as britain (bk 1). it's revealed that because one of his comrades drowned in a river, john is hydrophobic and is afraid of swimming. afterwards, john left and became a travelling performer with a theatrical group. on crete, he falls in love with cornelia, a gymnast (bk 3). both john and cornelia consummate their relationship, but near the border with the sassanian empire, john is abducted, castrated, and then sold off to the imperial government as a eunuch. he first works under the master of the plate, leukos (who is murdered by a corrupt innkeeper in bk 1), but wins his freedom and eventually rises to the rank of imperial chamberlain after investigation into the death of a byzantine magnate named hypatius (bk 4). although john enjoys the confidence of the emperor, his escapades and investigations makes him many enemies, from the page boy hektor all the way to the empress theodora (whose murder of a young gothic prince has to be covered up by john in bk 2). john however is not without allies, ranging from his colleagues felix and anatolius, all the way to his servants hypatia and peter, and much later his daughter by cornelia, named europa. diogo de melo coutinho was a portuguese navigator, co-discoverer of the azores islands. born 1450 in portugal, of noble family diogo de melo married to joana de carvalho, also daughter of nobles. diogo de melo coutinho was the discoverer of the azores islands together with gonçalo velho cabral. methional is an organic compound with the formula chschchcho. it is a colorless liquid that is a degradation product of methionine. it is a notable flavor in potato-based snacks, namely potato chips, one of the most popular foods containing methional. traces of the compound can also be found in black tea and green tea based products. methional contains both aldehyde and thioether functional groups. it is readily soluble in alcohol solvents, including propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol. in nature, methional is a thermally-induced volatile flavor compound. for instance, the heat-initiated maillard reaction of reducing sugars and amino acids forms the initial basis of methional's composition. the formation of methional stems from the interaction of α-dicarbonyl compounds (intermediate products in the maillard reaction) with methionine (met) by the strecker degradation reaction: methional easily degrades into methanethiol, which then oxidizes into dimethyl disulfide. dimethyl disulfide is partly responsible for the "reactive sulfur" that contributes to the taste of potatoes. furthermore, the methionine resulting from the strecker degradation reaction produces alkyl pyrazines, which contribute to the flavors in roasted, toasted, or thermally processed foods. due to the ease of its decomposition, a large portion of methional is lost during potato processing. similarly, in the presence of flavin mononucleotide (fmn) and light, methionine is nonenzymatically oxidized into methional, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. methional is synthesized commercially by the reaction of methanethiol and acrolein. using the strecker synthesis, methional is converted to methionine. for the purpose of animal feed supplements, enantiopure methionine is not required. because of their high cost, methional or its precursor methionine are not added during potato processing. in order to intensify flavoring of heat-processed potato foods, biotechnological approaches are used to increase methionine levels, and thus methional levels, in potato foods. the enzyme aminotransferase acts on methionine to remove the amine and form an α-keto-γ-methylthiobutyric acid. as catalyzed by α-keto acid decarboxylase, this ketomethylthiobutyric acid converts to methional. john stanford (september 14, 1938 – november 28, 1998) was a united states army officer who later became superintendent of the seattle public schools. stanford was born in darby, pennsylvania and graduated from yeadon high school. he subsequently attended pennsylvania state university, earning a b.a. in political science. in 1975 he received a master's degree in personnel management from central michigan university. stanford entered the u.s. army after college, eventually rising to the rank of major general. he served during the vietnam war and operation desert storm and also worked as executive assistant to secretary of defense caspar weinberger. in 1991 stanford was hired as executive of fulton county, georgia. as executive he earned praise from civic leaders, though progress on his agenda of cutting bureaucracy and waste in county government was often impeded by infighting among members of the county commission. though stanford had no background in educational administration he was recruited, in 1995, superintendent of the seattle school district, becoming the district's first african-american administrator. stanford believed the school system exhibited the lethargic characteristics of a monopoly and said it had "an inward kind of thinking that is more concerned about the comfort of the people who run the system than the public it is supposed to serve." arriving in seattle, stanford reassigned one-third of the district's principals. he announced that poor customer service by staff would be punishable by firing, students who did not meet minimum academic requirements would be prevented from advancing to the next grade level, and that future school construction would be "on cost and on time." he also moved to end desegregation busing. stanford was seen as a charismatic, popular leader, and - in his first year on the job - was credited with helping to raise more than $2 million in private donations to support district initiatives. dropout rates in seattle schools declined and sat scores rose during his tenure. the seattle school board reported that stanford had met all ten of the goals they had established on his hiring. some teachers, however, criticized stanford's emphasis on standardized testing and he was forced to back down from an initiative to allow corporate sponsorships of extracurricular programs in the face of parent opposition. several of stanford's proposals, such as introducing school uniforms and restricting the issuance of driver's licenses to students known to affiliate with gangs, never gained traction. in 1996 stanford addressed the democratic national convention. in april 1998 stanford announced he had leukemia. he was treated at swedish medical center by physicians from the fred hutchinson cancer research center and died seven months later. stanford's death was announced on the front page of the seattle times, which the newspaper later made available in commemorative poster form. a memorial service held at the university of washington's hec edmundson pavilion was attended by 2,500 people. stanford was buried with military honors at arlington national cemetery the next day in a ceremony attended by colin powell and richard riley. the seattle school district headquarters facility, the john stanford center for educational excellence, was renamed after stanford, and the seattle school district's latona school was renamed john stanford international school. following stanford's death, a stanford endowment was established to fund teacher training and leadership programs, receiving an early donation of $2 million from the bill & melinda gates foundation. stanford's book, "victory in our schools: we can give our children excellent public education", was published the year after this death. in it, he argues for schools to be run like businesses, based on performance. the foreword of the book was contributed by al gore. chang gung university of science and technology (cgust; ) is a private university in guishan district, taoyuan city, and puzi city, chiayi county of taiwan. cgust was originally established as ming chi college of technology in 1983. in 1988, the chang gung institute of nursing was established as a two-year junior college program for nursing. a five-year program was established in 1991 and the institute was promoted to chang gung institute of technology. it also offered a two-year college program. in 2004, the institute offered a four-year college program. in august 2011 name was changed to chang gung university of science and technology. the taoyuan campus is within walking distance south of national taiwan sport university station of taoyuan airport mrt. the chiayi campus is within walking distance west from chiayi station of the taiwan high speed rail. the american civil defense association (tacda) is a member-supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, civil defense-focused organization founded in 1962. its primary focus is to educate its membership on emergencies, both man-made and natural disasters through various resources. the organization operates the free tacda academy and prints a periodical called "journal of civil defense". tacda also sells emergency supplies, such as dosimeters, water purification equipment, emergency rations, and mettag triage tags. in a letter dated october 19, 1988, then sitting president ronald reagan praised the work of tacda. kim jong-gil (hangul: 김종길; november 5, 1926 – april 1, 2017) was an early-modern south korean poet. kim jong-gil was born on november 5, 1926 in andong, gyeongsangbuk-do, korea. and graduated from korea university with undergraduate and graduate degrees in english literature. he also conducted research in english literature at sheffield university. kim has worked as a professor at several universities including chonggu university, gyeongbuk university and korea university. he died on april 1, 2017. kim jong-gil's poetics are exemplified by a concentrated focus on maintaining clarity and lucidity, and by his skillful exploration of the power of the poetic image. the idea of imagery possessed for the poet a near transcendental value, which he believed could enable both poet and reader alike to attain a greater understanding of truth. his poetic methodology can be thus understood only in the context of his attitude towards life which functioned through the medium of clear, concrete images. kim's work successfully incorporated ideas heralded from imagism, a modern poetic tradition espoused by poets such as amy lowell, hd, and ezra pound, and the traditional style of hansi and the spirit of seonbi. but unlike other imagist poetry of the time, kim's works exude a classical or traditional elegance, which in turn endows the work with a sense of integrity and completion. this traditional elegance is most visible in the poet's emotional restraint and his detachment from the external world. in addition to this emotional restraint, the poet also focuses on the virtue of decency, as an effective means of conveying sorrow. in “marking” (chaejeom), for example, the poet silently marks the paper of a student who has just died, and enters the grade in his report card. this unspoken sorrow and contemplation of death ultimately leads to a more understated and more powerful impact on the reader. thus the most fundamental and important characteristic of kim's poetry is in its extensive insight into life and the depth of the mind, through the cultivation of restraint, decency, and imagination. kim won the 2007 cheong ma literature award, the 2005 lee yuksa poetry award, and the 2005 ko san literature award. andrew sherwood (born november 10, 1980) is a democratic former member of the arizona state senate, serving from 2015 to 2017. prior to being appointed to the senate, sherwood was the ranking democratic member of the house ways and means committee and served on the house appropriations committee and on the joint committee for capital review. during the first session of his term in office in 2013, sherwood sponsored 10 bills as the prime prime sponsor (indicating he is the author of the bill) and 47 bills as the prime sponsor. in the 2014 session, he introduced 10 pieces of legislation as the prime prime sponsor, 46 bills as prime sponsor and 22 as co-sponsor. in the 2015 session, he introduced 16 pieces of legislation as the prime prime sponsor, 28 as prime sponsor and 21 as co-sponsor. before serving in the legislature, sherwood was a professional animal trainer and worked as the director of marketing for greatspaces. sherwood did not seek reelection to the arizona senate, having left the state for other employment. sherwood ran for the arizona state senate in legislative district 18 in 2010. he defeated robert hernandez mcdonald, jr. in the democratic primary election and was defeated by republican russell pearce in the general election. andrew sherwood was elected to serve the new legislative district 26 in the 2012 general election. in the ld-26 primary election held on august 26, 2014 sherwood was nominated for re-election by his party with 48% of the vote. he won re-election and was the top vote-getter in the november 4, 2014 ld-26 house race receiving 13,584 total votes. in november 2015, sherwood was appointed to the arizona state senate, filling the seat left vacant by the resignation of ed ableser. as the democratic district chairman for arizona's legislative district 18, sherwood was supportive of the successful effort to recall state senate president russell pearce, the sponsor of senate bill 1070. sherwood declined to run against pearce in the recall election himself and endorsed opposition candidate jerry lewis in the race. sherwood founded the science caucus in the arizona legislature, chaired by one democrat and one republican from each chamber. sherwood's position on climate change, is that "the debate over the science is over. climate change is happening. we are causing it, and we are on the front burner here in arizona." he has advocated for equal rights for members of the lgbt community, taking strong stands against sb1045, the "papers please bathroom

mating strategy of their sex. such strategies are diverse and variable both across and within species. animal sexual behaviour and mate choice directly affect social structure and relationships in many different mating systems, whether monogamous, polygamous, polyandrous, or polygynous. though males and females in a given population typically employ a predominant reproductive strategy based on the overarching mating system, individuals of the same sex often use different mating strategies. among some reptiles, frogs and fish, large males defend females, while small males may use sneaking tactics to mate without being noticed. alternative mating strategies have been observed among both male and female animals. most typically, alternative strategies will be adopted in the face of competition within a sex, especially in species that mate multiply. in these scenarios, some individuals will adopt very different mating strategies to achieve reproductive success. the result over time will be a variety of evolutionarily stable strategies and phenotypes, consisting of both conventional individuals and unconventional individuals who mate through alternative means. successful strategies are maintained through sexual selection. in many cases, the coexistence of alternative and traditional mating strategies will both maximize the average fitness of the sex in question and be evolutionarily stable for a population. however, the utilization of alternative mating strategies may oscillate as a result of varying reproductive conditions, such as the availability of potential mates. under changing circumstances, the existence of a variety of strategies allows individuals to choose the conditional behaviour that will currently maximize their fitness. conventional and alternative mating behaviours arise through sexual selection. more specifically, varying levels of reproductive success will select for phenotypes and strategies that maximize an animal's chance of obtaining a mate. as a result, certain animals successfully use a conventional mating strategy while others employing this strategy fail to obtain mates. over time, phenotypic variance arises both between and within the sexes, with males exhibiting greater diversity in phenotype. the resulting variance in male fitness creates a niche in which alternative strategies may develop, such as sneaking to obtain a mate. the alternative behaviours persist as part of this polymorphism, or variety of phenotypes, because the average fitness of unconventional males equals the average reproductive success of conventional males. alternative behaviours are maintained through frequency-dependent selection because of their equal fitness benefits and functional equivalence. under frequency-dependent selection, the fitness of a given phenotype is determined by its frequency relative to other phenotypes within a population. similarly, negative frequency-dependent selection describes a scenario in which rarer phenotypes experience greater fitness. given that the utilization of alternative mating strategies has been shown to fluctuate over time, it has been suggested that frequency or negative frequency-dependent selection is the mechanism through which alternative mating strategies are maintained in animal populations. a second proposed model for the maintenance of alternative mating behaviours is status-dependent selection. this describes a conditional strategy in which the fitness of alternative phenotypes depend on the status, or competitive ability, of an individual. status includes environmental and genetic factors as well as age and size, and determines the level of fitness that may be obtained from a given phenotype. as shown in figure 1, the fitness benefits of a given phenotype vary based on whether an individual is of high or low status. in a case where two phenotypes and strategies are possible, such as mate guarding or sneaking, there will be an intermediate point of intersection where the fitness gained from these alternative behaviours will be equivalent. at this point (s), the fitness gained from these strategies will be equal, and the particular strategy employed at a given time will depend on an individual's status. a low status individual below the switch point will obtain higher fitness with phenotype b, while an individual of high status above the switch point will benefit from higher fitness with phenotype a. such a model shows how individuals of lesser status or competitive ability may maximize their fitness by exhibiting an alternative phenotype. in this manner, these selective forces will maintain the phenotypic diversity observed among animals with respect to mating behaviour, though strategies utilized will depend on a variety of circumstances. most of the organisms in question do not have the cognitive capacity to “strategize” in the human sense of the word, so what is a strategy? here, a strategy is an underlying rule for making decisions about a certain behaviour. a strategy provides an organism with a set of tactics that are adaptive in various circumstances. a tactic is an action taken to achieve a specific goal. for example, a wolf encounters a fallen tree and its strategy is defined by two tactics that may allow the wolf to pass the obstacle: jump over it or crawl under it. considering the current environmental conditions, the surroundings, and the size of the tree, the wolf will decide between the tactics dictated by its strategy. in the context of a mating system, this means that individuals in a given population have strategies that allow them to obtain mates in different ways to maximize their reproductive success given their phenotypic, environmental, or social circumstances. it is important to recognize that organisms within a population may not always have the same strategy, and different strategies may offer individuals either a range of tactical options or just one tactic. furthermore, given strategy may be considered mendelian, developmental, conditional, or a combination of the above. a mendelian strategy depends on a genetically determined phenotypic difference, such as body size. this is the case in marine isopods, described below. developmentally driven strategies are associated with phenotypic differences caused by varying conditions during the course of development that affect body size or overall adult health. individuals may also have a conditional behaviour strategy that depends not on the genetic or developmental impact on one's life circumstance, but on external factors. these may include the number of available mates, or the number of nearby competitors and their employed tactics. additionally, some mating strategies will be impacted by the interaction of multiple factors, so these categorizations of mendelian, developmental, and conditional are not mutually exclusive. they simply offer ways to think about alternative mating strategies and their root causes. in any case, the mating strategies employed by organisms in various situations will ultimately depend on the strength of selection acting to maintain or eliminate certain reproductive strategies. if sexual selection strongly favors one mating strategy over a potential alternative, individuals not conforming to the successful strategy will fail to reproduce, thus preventing future generations from inheriting the unsuccessful strategy. while the majority of the research into the interactions that lead to alternative mating strategies has a focus on male to male competition, the interaction between males and females also plays a significant role in the mating strategy used (see sexual selection). female assessment of the males (see female mate choice) plays a role in the number of males opting to use an alternative mating technique. females are likely to not choose to mate with males of a lower quality, so these males will have to adopt alternative mating techniques in order to mate. the ability of the female to assess possible mates also plays a role in the frequency of alternative mating strategies. if a female is unable to assess and choose mates accurately, for example due to time constraints or assessment costs, then males of a lower quality are more likely to be chosen. while if the females have lots of time and resources available to them, allowing them to accurately choose males, then the lower quality males are unlikely to be chosen and so will have to adopt alternative mating techniques. the number of mates available to the female will also change the frequency of males adopting alternative mating techniques. if the female does not have many options of males to mate with then males of a lower quality are more likely to be chosen by the females as they have less options. this means that males that would normally have to adopt an alternative mating strategy in a larger population can now mate using the primary mating strategy. the diversity of mating strategies within animal populations may be understood through evolutionary game theory concepts that assess the costs and benefits of reproductive decision-making. the evolutionarily stable strategy (ess) concept provides a particularly useful framework for considering alternative behaviours as they relate to fitness. given that a strategy describes a set of pre-programmed rules that specify particular behaviours, an evolutionarily stable strategy is one that persists in a population due to its benefits to fitness. an ess will be maintained in a population if it accords higher average fitness than other strategies, or a level of average individual fitness equivalent to all other strategies within the population. within an evolutionarily stable strategy, several scenarios are possible, including pure and mixed strategies. a pure strategy is one not affected by chance, in which an individual only expresses one strategic behaviour. in contrast, a mixed strategy describes a scenario involving the probabilistic expression of behaviours among individuals. for example, an individual under a mixed strategy could express one mating tactic, such as sneaking, with a certain frequency and another tactic, such as mate guarding, at all other times. though a mixed strategy is theoretically possible, it has not been documented in the context of alternative mating behaviours. instead, a conditional strategy involving alternative behaviours may best characterize alternative mating strategies. condition-dependent behaviour in the context of mating may result from changes in resource availability and intrasexual competition for mates. when competition decreases, the expression of alternative behaviours also decreases. changes in mating behaviours, especially among alternative males, have been documented in insects, fish, and amphibians upon removal of dominant males. additionally, the availability of mates and resources also affects the expression of alternative strategies within a sex. the gain or loss of territory has been shown to affect mating approaches among insect species, while the receptivity and spatial distribution of mates impacts tactics used among insects, fish, and mammals. mating behaviours are also affected by an individual's size and age, as smaller or younger individuals are more likely to attempt reproduction through alternative means, including mimicry or sneak tactics. as a result, the ability to choose a behaviour that maximizes fitness under certain circumstances evolves. it has long been known that males in a wide variety of animal populations practice alternative mating strategies in order to maximize their reproductive fitness. this is especially common when there is male-male competition for access to mates. in cases where such alternative strategies are as successful at obtaining mates as the predominant strategy, a coexistence of different mating strategies will evolve. below are a few common examples of male alternative mating strategies. "sneaking" is any strategy that allows a male to access a female partner, avoiding more dominant males, for example those guarding a harem, as in the red deer and elephant seal. the behaviour also occurs in fish, including the cichlid "herichthys minckleyi". horned beetles demonstrate alternative mating strategies due to different nutritious conditions during development that affect adult body size. in this species, males who receive high levels of nutrition during development will surpass a size threshold above which they develop large horns. males who do not pass the threshold will develop either small or nonexistent horns. these varying phenotypes will lead individual males to adopt different mating strategies. those who develop long horns will practice mate guarding, protecting the entrance to the tunnel in which a female is resting or feeding. these males will fight any male that attempts to enter. this is a common strategy observed in populations in which females are dispersed and have synchronized periods of fertility, as well as those in which females are found in clusters that can be guarded to maintain access to more than one female. smaller males with little or no horns have little chance of beating larger males in altercations and will thus adopt an alternative sneaking strategy, digging a new tunnel that will allow them to intercept the female's tunnel without being noticed by the guarding male. both of these strategies have proven, thus far, to be reproductively effective for the males practicing them, and adoption of these alternative mating strategies has contributed to the maintenance of a dimorphic male population. pygmy swordtail "xiphophorus multilineatus" males offer another example of alternative mating strategies. some males mature later at a larger size and always use courtship behaviour, while other males mature early at a smaller size, sometimes using courtship behaviour when alone with a female, but more often using sneaky behaviour. this behaviour is not preferred by the female, and is therefore not as successful as courtship in gaining matings, however the higher probability of surviving to reach sexual maturity due to maturing early is enough to maintain the smaller, sneakier males in the population. male red paper wasps, "polistes canadensis", engage in the role of the patroller as an alternative mating tactic to the role of the territorial male (who chases away intruders). patrollers have a smaller body size than territorial males. there is significant competition over the possession of territories. although these territories do not necessarily hold any resources or nesting sites, owning a territory tends to lead to a greater number of mating opportunities. males attract females to these territories by rubbing their abdomens across the territories to apply pheromones. because of their inability to successfully compete against the larger territorial males for territories, smaller males resort to patrolling. but patrollers do not just wait around for territories to be vacated; they will sneak matings with females in territories when the territorial males are temporarily away or distracted. "macrobrachium rosenbergii" (giant freshwater prawns or giant river prawns) males have three distinctive body types (morphotypes) upon reaching sexual maturity - small males, orange claw and blue claw. although all three have different appearances; physical size, claw length, behaviour and anatomy; they are all still able to fertilize females. this leads to male competition over female mates and thus the use of alternative mating tactics. the dominant males tend to be blue claw over orange claw, then orange claw over small males. dominance is dependent upon their fighting abilities for food supplies, shelter and therefore female mates. small males, being significantly smaller in size than the other two types and are unable to fight off other males, and instead apply the alternative mating tactic of sneaking. the small male attempts to fertilize a female while she is being guarded by a blue claw mate. this is a high risk tactic, as they have a chance of being killed or injured by the larger blue claw males with a limited success rate of achieving fertilization. the orange claw males are unable to perform sneak tactics due to their larger size compared to small males; or successfully fight competitively against larger blue claws. this means they are a small population percentage in nature due to their low fertilization rates. bluegill sunfish males have two distinct patterns of reproduction and survival: parental and cuckolder. parental sunfish often show dominant mating strategies such as courting with females, building nests for the young and caring for young independently. the cuckolder sunfish are much less dominant than the parental males and tend to revert to alternative mating strategies including sneaking or female mimicry. the fitness of the individual males is the main determining factor of which mating strategy they will use. white-throated sparrows express different coloured plumages which have been related to differing levels of aggression, guarding of territory and promiscuity. the variation in plumage colours are determined by an inversion mutation on chromosome 2. this is an example of alternative mating strategy that is determined by genetics rather than biological fitness. males practicing female mimicry may do so in order to gain access to mates in areas of where only females congregate. in the isopod "paracerceis sculpta" there are three genetically distinct male morphs. alpha males, which represent the largest and most common male morph, tend to defend harems in order to monopolize access to a large number of females. this is the predominant mating strategy in this species. beta males are about the same size as female isopods, and they take advantage of that fact by mimicking female behaviour in order to enter harems and gain access to fertile females. gamma males are the smallest morph. these individuals adopt a sneaking strategy and rely on their small body size to enter harems undetected and remain in them while they seek mating opportunities. these distinct strategies, all determined by a single genetic locus, give equivalent lifetime mating success to each of the three morphs, indicating that natural selection is not acting on one morph more strongly than another. all three alleles expressed in the population will continue to contribute to male morphology as long as the reproductive success granted by each one continues to be as beneficial as the others. historically, while male alternative strategies have been well documented, alternative female strategies have not been studied extensively. this large discrepancy in information is mostly due to two factors. first, male mating behaviour is typically driven by competition for mates, such as physical competition, territoriality, or parental care investment. thus, male alternative behaviours arise as a direct result of these various forms of competition. however, females typically do not compete directly for these resources or mates. instead, females indirectly compete through differences in premating, mating and post-mating behaviour. the subtle nature of female competition makes alternative behaviours very difficult to study relative to males. second, males are more likely to experience sexual selection than females. due to this increased selection, it is statistically more likely for alternative strategies to evolve in males than females. however, though subtle and slightly less commonly, females can experience limitations in access to males and male parental care. thus, alternative female strategies have evolved to circumvent these limitations. below are some examples of alternative female strategies seen in nature. in the guppy, "poecilia reticulata", females will copy another female's mate choice if given the opportunity to watch the other female choose. while older females do not copy younger females, younger females will copy older females. this copying behaviour arises from a difference in ability to assess males. since this behaviour only arises when in the presence of another female, it is a behavioural alternative to the norm of just choosing a male mate based on personal assessment. in the damselfish, "chromis multilineata", females can often become infected with the parasite "anilocra chromis". in the event of infection, males do not allow infected females into the nest and do not mate with them. thus, to bypass this limitation to mating, infected females will often sneak into male nests. although the female is often immediately chased out, this behaviour serves as evidence that sneaking is not just an alternative male strategy. in fact, sneaking is just a common strategy for any sex that is denied mating to a certain class of animals. the strategy of these infected females is therefore another behavioural alternative strategy. in damselflies, "ischnura", females are frequently harassed by males that wish to mate. there is significant variation in the females’ physical abilities to tolerate male mating harassment. in this species, there is a physical dimorphism: one type is cryptic (heteromorphic) and the other type looks like a male (andromorph). in many cases the andromorph even behaves like a male when among other males. studies have found that the andromorph only mates half as often as the heteromorph. while a decrease in mating would be devastating for males, it is often an advantage in females. for females, excessive mating is a waste of time and energy and it increases exposure to predators. thus, the ability to ward off extra mating gives the andromorphs a frequency dependent selective advantage. this is example of a traditionally male characterized mendelian alternative strategy that has now been observed in females. catherine miranda (born october 5, 1964) is an american educator and democratic party politician who served in the arizona senate, representing the 27th electoral district from 2015 to 2019. she was a member of the arizona house of representatives from 2011 to 2015. miranda was first elected in the 16th district, the same seat that her late husband, ben miranda, had held. she was then redistricted to the 27th district. miranda served on the roosevelt school district school board and cites education cuts as the reason she ran for a seat in the state legislature. miranda ran in the democratic primary for arizona's 7th congressional district in 2018, challenging incumbent democrat ruben gallego, but lost the nomination. miranda was born in southern phoenix, arizona. she lived in arizona her entire life, attending middle school at lassen and high school at east high. when she went off to college she attended arizona state university to obtain her bachelor's degree and then she attended northern arizona university where she obtained her master's degree. she worked as teacher in roosevelt school district in arizona and went on to be a school administrator in the roosevelt/cartwright/washington districts. after that she served as a school board member in the roosevelt district before finally moving on to politics. catherine miranda places a strong emphasis on education in arizona. she supports state governments providing college students with financial aid and allowing immigrants who graduate from arizona high schools to be eligible for in-state tuition at public universities. she also believes that there needs to be an increase in government spending for k-12 education and a slight increase in spending for post-secondary education. miranda supports the deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca as well as a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants known as dreamers. she also believes that the issue of border security needs to framed in terms economic impact. catherine miranda frequently displays bipartisanship in arizona; she endorsed republican doug ducey for governor in 2014. due to this support she has been able to work with her republican counterparts in the state senate to push bipartisan legislation such as trying to gain funding for the failing murphy school district. miranda voted against expanding school vouchers in arizona. on fiscal issues, she opposes deregulation of the private sector and supports expanding unemployment benefits. in 2016, the fiscally conservative americans for prosperity gave her a rating of 30% and the fiscally conservative goldwater institute gave her a 39% score in 2013. miranda supports enhancing background checks and regulations when it comes to gun ownership. she does not support arming teachers and believes in focusing on the problem of third party arms dealers. catherine miranda described herself as pro-life in 2010 and is against abortion due to her religious beliefs, being classified as "anti-choice" by naral pro-choice arizona. she was endorsed by arizona right to life in her 2016 election. she is one of a few pro-life democrats and she sometimes crosses the aisle to vote with republicans regarding abortion. in 2018, she was the only democrat to break with her party and vote with republicans to increase reporting requirements for abortion providers as well as to allow stored embryos to be used by one partner even after a divorce. she also voted to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. however, she voted against allowing employers to refuse to provide birth control and contraception health care coverage to employees. in 2014, planned parenthood, which supports legal access to abortion, gave miranda a rating of 67% for voting in line with their positions and she received a 40% rating in 2016; conversely, the center for arizona policy, which opposes legal abortion, gave miranda a 2017 score of 20% and a 2016 score of 50% based on their positions. in 2010, miranda responded to a questionnaire answering that she is opposed to same-sex marriage, but also responded that she supports civil unions. she also answered questions saying that she supports non-discrimination protections for lgbt persons including by adding gender identity and sexual orientation to arizona's anti-discrimination laws. stonewall democrats of arizona, a partisan democratic group in support of same-sex marriage and other gay rights, gave miranda a rating of 50% in 2014 miranda's husband, roberto sanchez, is running for a state house seat in the 27th legislative district in 2018. she has two children and was formerly married to ben miranda who died in 2013. miranda's nephew, cipriano-gabriel miranda, is running for miranda's open state senate seat in 2018. miranda's brother-in-law, richard miranda, was elected to the state house in 1998 and served until 2012. her father, robert hernandez was a korean war veteran and worked in construction. while working in construction he helped to build what is now known as the kroc center. her mother, ysabel hernandez worked at airresearch, and aerospace technology company. she died from breast cancer when catherine miranda was only 17 years old. jordanus (daan) roodenburgh (july 23, 1886 – february 4, 1972) was a dutch urban-architect and former general director of afc ajax. born 23 july 1886 in amsterdam, netherlands, daan started his career working for k.p.c. de bazel and h.a.j. en j. baanders, before becoming an independent architect in 1916. apart from his work as an architect, he was also active in several committees, such as the architectura et amicitia ("architecture and friendship") and the maatschappij tot bevordering der bouwkunst ("society for the promotion of architecture"). in 1936 at age 50 he competed in the art competitions at the 1936 summer olympics in berlin in the mixed architecture event for sports venues with his construction of het houten stadion, the first proper stadium for his local football club afc ajax. the works of roodenburgh are very diverse. during his career he designed apartment buildings, churches, schools, furniture, fire departments, theater, fabric stores, shops and more primarily in the city of amsterdam and its surrounding area. on 4 february 1972 daan roodenburgh died in his hometown of amsterdam. daan roodenburgh was the architect of het houten stadion on the middenweg in watergraafsmeer, amsterdam, and he also built the teams second stadium de meer stadion, while the later reconstruction of the stadium was also attributed to his name. from 1932 to 1938, roodenburgh was the commissioner of ajax, and was later made an honorary member of the club, lilu () was a legendary tribe or state of ancient china. according to legends recorded in the third-century text "records of emperors and kings" (帝王世纪) by huangfu mi, goddess nüwa enfeoffed thirteen tribes or states, all having the feng (风) surname. lilu was ranked the fourth among the thirteen. lilu is also mentioned in many other ancient texts including "zhuangzi", and "dengzi" by deng xi. professor li yujie of henan university believes that lilu was likely the first people in china to cultivate chestnuts (the "li" in lilu means chestnut). the li (栗) surname is believed to have originated from the tribe. lilu is linked to the shang dynasty state of li (栗) in modern xiayi county, shangqiu, henan province. the state was conquered by the zhou dynasty in the 11th century bc. the li capital (called licheng or li city), now submerged under the tianlong lake, is a protected site of shangqiu. eric meyer (born 1961) is a former member of the arizona house of representatives. he served in the legislature for four consecutive two-year terms since first elected in the 2008 general election and served as minority leader from 2014 until 2016. prior to becoming politically active, meyer was director of emergency medicine at providence medical center in portland, oregon. eric meyer was born in august, 1961. meyer attended public schools in scottsdale, az starting at cocopah elementary school and graduating high school in 1979 from chaparral high school. he earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the university of southern california. discovering his passion for medicine while working at a neighborhood clinic, he returned to arizona to pursue his medical degree from university of arizona medical school. eric met his wife sarah snell while attending medical school and both earned their medical doctorates in 1988. during medical school, the couple spent two months working in the field in new guinea where they witnessed third-world medicine and the violence of tribal warfare first-hand. the two were married shortly after graduation in may 1988. meyer's post-graduate training was in emergency medicine at oregon health sciences university and afterwards practiced as an emergency medicine physician at providence medical center in portland, oregon. meyer's daughter, sophie, was born in 1994 and his son, clay, was born in 1996. snell specializes in obstetrics and gynecology at scottsdale healthcare shea medical center. his daughter, sophie meyer, earned her undergraduate degree in physics engineering and is pursuing her master's degree in material engineering at stanford university. his son, clay meyer, is studying for his undergraduate degree in environmental engineering at stanford university. meyer served as director of emergency medicine at providence medical center until returning to arizona in late 1996. meyer moved back to arizona where sarah began practicing medicine at mayo clinic. meyer spent the following year remodeling their newly purchased home in paradise valley, az and taking care of their two young children. when his daughter sophie was 3 years old she was enrolled in pre-school at the unitarian universalist congregation of phoenix and meyer joined the board of the program. when his children entered public school, meyer joined the board of the scottsdale parent council. shortly afterwards he began his involvement in legislative politics while serving as legislative liaison for the organization. as his kids continued to progress through the scottsdale, az public education system, meyer continued to scale up his involvement, eventually running for and winning a seat on the scottsdale school board in 2004 where he served for eight years. in addition to his work within his children's schools, meyer served on the children's museum of phoenix board of directors, as pto president for arcadia neighborhood learning center, and as a member of the budget committee for the scottsdale unified school district. meyer ran and won as a write-in candidate during the 2008 democratic primary election for arizona state representative in district 11. he went on to win the general election and first assumed office in 2009. meyer has been an outspoken supporter of restoring public education funds which were severely cut in arizona following the great recession. re-elected three times since, meyer was nominated as democratic leader by his caucus in 2014. he has served on government, transportation, and education committees in previous legislative sessions and currently serves on both the health and appropriations committees. after reaching his term limit in the arizona house of representatives, meyer announced his run for arizona state senate in the 2016 general election on october 6, 2016. "investing in our kids must be our state’s first priority. since the beginning of the recession, our state legislature has cut billions from our public schools, resulting in a serious teacher shortage and some of the largest class sizes in the nation. funding for our state universities has been reduced, resulting in tuition hikes of over 80%, and funding has been eliminated for community colleges in maricopa and pima counties. with two terms on the scottsdale school board and my eight years as a state representative, i have been an effective voice for our children. i will continue to advocate for the restoration of funding for education -- without raising taxes -- and i will continue to work to ensure that more students graduate from high school with access to higher education and quality jobs right here in arizona." "we must continue to diversify our economy. i am an advocate for economic sectors that have sustainable, long-term potential, such as high-tech and biotech businesses. our universities must remain world-class centers for research that also prepare our students for 21st century jobs; only with an educated workforce, will companies choose to relocate here. as our economy continues to recover, we must invest in arizona’s infrastructure, which will help to promote economic development in all parts of our state, and develop innovative job training programs for arizonans of all ages. i support improved access in our schools and universities to stem classes in science, technology, engineering, and math, and i support both tax incentives for targeted research and development, and investments in renewable sources of energy."

"the broken wave" was mixed at expanding studios (benge studios) in london, uk by ben edwards and mastered at electric mastering in london, uk by guy davie. "the broken wave" has generally received positive reviews. matt conner of "the line of best fit" commended the album, stating that "the release is best described as a house of cards, maintaining a certain grace and fragility throughout the ten songs present" and lauding its "authenticity and vulnerability few singers can approach". john eyles of the bbc commented that the album was a "distinctive debut album" and suggested that the album's main strengths were peel's use of "allusions and metaphors", her "insights into the break up of relationships [that] displays a maturity rare in a 28-year-old", and her voice. eyles also noted the "fragile beauty", which "ideally conveys the longing and yearning contained within the complex emotions of the songs". ben hogwood of musicomh stated that "her songs have a fragility that makes them the musical equivalent of frosted glass, beautifully crafted but easily shattered if not handled with due care and attention" and characterised that "endearing and plaintive" peel's voice as a strength. however, hogwood also noted that peel's "candidly sing[ing] of falling in and out of love, as well as relatively ordinary day to day events ... occasionally finds her tripping over her own words". will fitzpatrick of "the fly" gave a positive assessment of the album and claimed that peel "wanders into territory reminiscent of belle & sebastian's fragile indie pop of yore", but distinguished the acts by adding "that's far from the sum of "the broken wave"'s ambition". fitzpatrick also commented that the peel's recording of the irish traditional folk song "the parting glass" transcends its irish roots to become a memorably eerie slab of folktronica". all lyrics written and music composed by hannah peel, except where otherwise noted. chienkuo technology university (ctu; ) is a private university located in changhua city, changhua county, taiwan. ctu was initially established in october 1965 as chienkuo commercial

in wonsan, hamgyeongnam-do, korea. kim graduated from korea university with a degree in korean literature and later served as a professor at jangan college and as the president of the society of korean poets. the early poems of kim kwang-lim, included in his poetry collection "sorrow of a grafted tree" ("sangsimhaneun jeommok") published by baekjasa in 1959, overflow with the raw pain and suffering endured as a result of the korean war. after the armistice in 1953, kim's poems evince a diminished attention to issues pertaining to the war or korean society in general and a growing interest in describing phenomena, with a focus on visual imagery. following his second collection of poems, "bright shadow of an image" ("simsangui balgeun geurimja" ), published by joongang culture company ("joongang munhwasa") in 1962, kim's artistic endeavor focused on the conception of a perfect, pure image. kim thus eliminated all abstraction from his works, and sought an aesthetic that would isolate the image and remove all external semantic associations from it. in the 1970s, kim's poetry began to incorporate elements of seon buddhism, crowning the poet's endeavor to eliminate prosaic elements and abstraction from his poetry and to isolate the bare, unobstructed image. kim's fixation on realizing the perfect poetic depiction of an image and establishing a profound awareness of this image elevated his work and language to a new, transcendental plane. in fact, underlying his works is the development of a new poetic sensibility vis-a-vis external phenomena, the realization of the lucidity of language, and the creation of poetic expression through the construction of the image. following the publication of "bird made of language" ("eoneoro mandeun sae") in 1979, kim rekindled his efforts to breach the limits of language and to stretch it to its extremes, through radical simplification of language by self-restraint akin to the practices of seon or zen buddhism. kim is essentially an imagist and his poems often seem like quick glimpses of life in which human concern meets with tight poetic control. while kim is cognizant of the role of materialism in modern society, his poetry seeks to overcome this with tolerance and forgiveness. collections of poetry martín quezada is a democratic member of the arizona senate serving since 2015. he is also a member of

of a series of chinese uavs developed by developed by china academy of aerospace aerodynamics (中国航天空气动力技术研究院) of china aerospace science and technology corporation (casc), also known as the 11th academy of casc (中国航天科技集团公司十一院), or 701st research institute. as of end of 2013, a total of two have been publicized, pw-1 and pw-2, which are derivatives of casc ch-1 and casc ch-2 respectively. both pw-1 and pw-2 share the following characteristics: pw-1 is the first member of pw series uav, and it is in twin-boom layout with a pair of skids as landing gear. propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. specification: pw-2 is the second member of pw series uav and like pw-1, it is also in twin-boom layout with a pair of skids as landing gear. as with pw-1, propulsion for pw-2 is also provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. pw-2 is classified as a close to medium range uav by its developer. specification: list of unmanned aerial vehicles of the people's republic of china casc rainbow (cai hong, abbreviated as ch) is the name of a series chinese unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) developed by china academy of aerospace aerodynamics of china aerospace science and technology corporation (casc), also known as the 11th academy of casc, or 701st research institute. ch-1 is the first member of the rainbow (ch) series uav. the general designer was mr. shi wen (石文), who is also the general designer of ch-2, the successor of ch-1, casc pw-1, the derivative of ch-1, and casc pw-2, the derivative of ch-2. ch-1 program first begun in 2000, and the success of ch-1 resulted in the establishment of uav program which eventually led to other designs that followed. ch-1 is mainly intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. specification: ch-2 is second member of rainbow (ch) series uav and it is a development of earlier ch-1, with identical twin-boom layout. as with its predecessor ch-1, propulsion of ch-2 is also provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage, and the uav is launched via vehicle mounted catapult with rocketed assisted take-off. ch-2 is mainly intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. ch-3 is a fixed wing ucav of the rainbow series. ch-3 adopts the unusual canard layout, similar to the jetcruzer 450 and the rutan varieze. this means that the ch-3 lacks centrally located vertical tail, but has large winglets and canards. propulsion is provided by a three-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted on empennage. the main landing wheels of the tricycle landing gear has fairing to reduce drag. in january, 2015, a ch-3 drone was reported to have crashed in the north of nigeria. it is believed the drone was involved in nigeria's struggle against the islamic militant group, boko haram. china supplied the ch-3 to nigeria government prior to 2014, along with yc-200 guided bombs and ar-1 air-to-ground missile. in february, 2016, nigeria announced a successful drone strike in its ongoing war against boko haram. nescom burraq is thought to be mostly influenced by ch-3. ch-3a is the development of ch-3 and share the identical layout. improvement of ch-3a over ch-3 includes that the maximum payload is increased to more than 100 kg, and satellite data link is also incorporated. ch3a is a multipurpose uav which can also carry ar 1 laser guided rocket for attacking role. it is also widely rumoured that myanmar air force operates them, and some images have been found, but there's no confirmation.specification: ch-4 is the largest fixed wing ucav of the rainbow series (as of end of 2013). externally, ch-4 looks almost identical to general atomics mq-9 reaper, and the only distinct visual difference between two uavs is that the ventral fin below the v-tail on mq-9 is absent on ch-4. there are two versions, the ch-4a and ch-4b. the ch-4a is a reconnaissance drone (capable of a 3500–5000 km range and a 30- to 40-hour endurance) while the ch-4b is a mixed attack and reconnaissance system with provisions for 6 weapons and a payload of up to 250 to 345 kg. ch-4 is capable of firing air-to-ground missile from altitude of 5,000 meters (~16,400 feet), therefore the aircraft can stay outside of effective range of most anti-aircraft guns. it also allows ch-4 to be able to fire from a position that provides wider viewing area. vasiliy kashin, a china specialist at moscow's centre for analysis of strategies and technologies, said that the ch-4b ucav has been exported to pakistan, egypt, saudi arabia, algeria and iraq. iraq has received an unknown number of ch-4b in early 2015, spurred on battlefield reversals in mosul and ramadi to isil. saqr-1 is thought to be mostly influenced by ch-4. the ch-5 is the latest ucav of the rainbow series, with a wingspan of 21 metres, a payload of 1,000 kg, a maximum takeoff weight of over 3 tonnes, a service ceiling of 9 km, an endurance of up to 60 hours and a range of 10,000 km. thanks to shared data link it can cooperate with ch-3 and ch-4 drones. it conducted its maiden flight in august 2015 and its first airshow flight (in northern hebei province) in july 2017. the drone can carry 16 missiles at a single time. there were also plans to extend its range up to 20,00 km. chinese officials claimed the ch-5 rainbow was similar in performance to the us mq-9 reaper and "may come in at less than half the price." compared to the garrett tpe331 turboprop engine mounted on the reaper, ch-5 is equipped with an unidentified turbo-charged piston engine, with less than half the horsepower. this choice limits the maximum altitude of the ch-5 to 9 km compared to the 12–15 km of the reaper, but it also extends ch-5's endurance to 60 hours compared to 14 hour of the reaper's. future blocks of ch-5 will be able to stay in the air for up to 120 hours. the ch-7 is a stealthy flying wing ucav similar to the x-47b, with a 22m wingspan and 10m length. it can fly at 920 km/h and at an altitude of 13,000m. endurance is about 15 hours and its operational radius is 2000 kilometers. it can carry antiradiation missiles and standoff weapons. according to its chief designer, "the ch-7 can intercept radar electronic signals, and simultaneously detect, verify and monitor high-value targets, such as hostile command stations, missile launch sites and naval vessels". it is planned to make its maiden flight in 2019 and commence production in 2022. the ch-10 is a tilt-rotor uav. ch-91 is a fixed-wing uav in twin-boom layout with inverted v-tail and a pair of skids as landing gear. propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. ch-91 is mainly intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. it's also called as bzk-008. ch-92 is a fixed-wing uav in conventional layout with v-tail and tricycle landing gear. propulsion is provided by a propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the empennage. ch-92 is mainly intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. ch-802 is a fixed wing micro air vehicle (mav) in conventional layout with elevated high-wing configuration and v-tail. ch-802 has a cylindrical fuselage and propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a tractor brushless electric motor atop of the fuselage. ch-803 is mainly intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. ch-802 program begun in 2007 and was completed in 2008. specification: ch-803 is a fixed-wing uav with a cylindrical fuselage and canards, but without tailplane. propulsion is provided by two-blade propeller driven by a tractor engine mounted in the nose. another unique feature of ch-803 is that it adopts forward-swept wing. ch-803 is mainly intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. ch-803 program begun in 2008 and was completed in 2011. specification: ch-901 is a fixed-wing uav in conventional layout with cylindrical fuselage and high-wing configuration. propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the end of empennage. ch-901 is designed as an ucav. frank herbert burnside (august 7, 1888 - august 26, 1935) was a record-holding pioneer airmail pilot. frank herbert burnside was born on august 7, 1888 in oneonta, new york. he originally studied to be a musician, but learned to fly in 1911. in 1913 he set the american flight altitude record at 12,950 feet in bath, new york besting the record set by lincoln beachey in chicago in 1911. burnside retired from flying in 1931 and he died on august 26, 1935 in bath, new york.

turner house is located in greer, south carolina. the classical revival style house was built in 1937 for prominent local businessman richard perry turner. the house was designed by greenville-based architect william riddle ward, commissioned after turner saw the house designed by ward for his younger brother, robert gibbs turner. the brick house on a poured concrete foundation is almost 10,000 square feet in size. a brick garage, stable and octagonal brick summer house in the backyard were also designed by ward for the property. he studied sciences at the university of heidelberg. from october 1907 to august 1908, with herpetologist jean roux, he conducted scientific investigations in the aru and kei islands. in 1913 he obtained his habilitation at heidelberg with a dissertation on the flatworm genus "temnocephala". because of the 1935 nuremberg laws imposed by the nazis, he was forced to relinquish his position as deputy director at the senckenberg museum in frankfurt as well as his professorship at the university of heidelberg. in 1937, by way of an invitation from professor f. a. e. crew, he went to the university of edinburgh, where he spent time working in the institute of animal genetics. upon this return to germany in 1938, he was arrested and imprisoned in the concentration camp at dachau. during the following year, he was deported to scotland, where he resumed his work at the university. due to deteriorated health, he died soon afterwards in march 1940. organisms with the specific epithet of "mertoni" are named in his honor, an example being the sea snake species "parahydrophis mertoni". in 1911, max carl wilhelm weber named the fish species "pseudomugil gertrudae" after merton's wife, gertrude. a. w. piper (1828 – november 11, 1904) was a seattle, washington pioneer whose name was given to piper orchard, pipers creek and piper's canyon in carkeek park, and who was elected in 1877–1878 a socialist seattle city council member. he owned a bakery known for its artistic confections that served seattle and the puget sound region. piper was born in kissingen, bavaria around march 1826. he was educated as an artist, and emigrated to america in 1847 at age 19. in new orleans he met wilhelmina ("minna") hausman (june 1834 – 1930), who was from the hanover area of germany, and had come to america in 1853. the 1900 census showed they had been married for 48 years, since around 1852, or else they were married a little later, in san francisco in 1853, crossing the isthmus of panama to get to california. they lived in san francisco for 20 years, and their first five children were born there. piper attended the san francisco mechanics' institute, receiving a certificate for "best specimens of ornamental sugar work" dated september 1857. by 1871 they were living in victoria, british columbia, where piper was a confectioner on government and fort streets. three of the piper's children were born in victoria, and it was here that historian thomas w. prosch first met piper. prosch said piper's store was popular and attracted visitors from around the region. an 1873 newspaper announcement said an andrew william piper, baker and confectioner of government street, declared bankruptcy in victoria, b.c. on december 4, 1872. the pipers came to seattle in 1873. he owned a bavarian style "konditorei", the puget sound candy manufactory, in seattle's pioneer square on front st. between cherry and mill streets. a typical "konditorei" is much more than a bakery, making candies and many other types of confections. he was known for his wedding cakes and other creative, artistic confections, including "piper's cream cakes" (or "dream cakes") that were especially popular in the 1870s, made from a recipe piper never revealed. by the 1880s piper employed a number of assistants. prosch said that seattle's lake union often froze over in winter, and that in those days, before seattle's ice factory was built in 1882, piper would harvest large blocks of ice from the lake, which he saved until summer for making ice cream. in 1876, a. w. piper ran for seattle city council representing the third ward and lost, coming in fourth out of five candidates. on his second run, for the third ward again, he just barely won a seat on the council, in 1877, on the socialist ticket. from 1890–1896 the city charter was amended to use a bicameral system, made up of a house of delegates with to members from each of the city's now eight wards, where previously there had been three wards, and a nine-member at-large board of aldermen. piper ran for the board of aldermen in 1896, losing and coming third. he was also a socialist (or populist) nominee for seattle mayor. piper was known as an artist, having several unsigned paintings hanging in museums and the homes of pioneers, and he sculpted in clay and stone. he also drew political cartoons and news illustrations, including the lynching of three suspected murderers in henry yesler's yard in 1882. many of the cartoons are in the university of washington libraries digital archives. on september 14, 1883, to commemorate the completion of the transcontinental northern pacific railroad, celebrated that september 8 in montana, seattle threw its first potlatch with the railroad's president henry villard in attendance. piper was put in charge of the jubilee's barbecue, held on the former grounds of the university of washington. piper's bakery was destroyed in the great seattle fire of june 6, 1889. all bakeries and candy makers in seattle were destroyed in the fire, and the industry reorganized afterwards, with some of the old businesses rebuilt and other new ones established. piper did not rebuild, heading for alaska instead. the portland "morning oregonian" of may 4, 1888, reported that a newspaper called the "enterprise", intended to rival the size of the "seattle post-intelligencer", was incorporated with $25,000 capital by piper with w.e. lockard, h.f. jones, j.c. mavel and j.f. mcdonald, just over a year before the great seattle fire. after the fire he ran a bakery in a tent in nome, alaska, for two years, then returned to seattle as a farmer and orchardist. their farm on pipers creek was founded c. 1880. the pipers had 11 children, the first five born in san francisco (1854, 1859, 1861, 1865, and 1867), three in victoria, b.c. (1868, 1870 and 1873), and the last three in seattle (1876, 1878 and the eleventh, born after 1879 and died by 1900). piper was a freemason, president of seattle turn "verein" (society) (see turners; a liberal german movement which produced several members of the revolution of 1848), and member of the seattle "liederkranz", a german cultural club that sang and danced. he was also a member of the pioneer association of the state of washington, a society of the state's early settlers, and he was one of the founders of the seattle chess club and the seattle amateur rifle association. piper died at home, at 1523 boren ave., on november 11, 1904, at age 76, after a long illness. his funeral was at the unitarian church on seventh ave. and union st. the following sunday, november 13, under the auspices of st. john's lodge no. 9, the local masonic lodge. he was buried at lake view cemetery, lot 184. a. w. piper may have been the first of several socialists or communists on the seattle city council, including hugh de lacy, elected in 1937, who was a secret member of communist party usa; and kshama sawant, who won a seat in 2013 as socialist alternative party member. his property on lake washington became naval air station sand point, what is now seattle's magnuson park. piper's farm and orchard at pipers creek are now part of seattle's carkeek park. the trees are still productive, and an annual festival of fruit is held there. the land at carkeek park, called "the ranch" by the piper family, had been previously logged twice, and a. w. piper's eighth child, walter (june 27, 1873, victoria, b.c.–september 20, 1914, seattle), tried to log the land a third time, but did not make money. walter was a junior partner in the successful piper & taft sporting goods, which was later bought by eddie bauer. piper's son oscar albert piper (b. 1876) was one of the university of washington's first graduated engineers. he joined the united states army corps of engineers, helped plan the lake washington ship canal, and served as seattle's acting city engineer in 1934 and 1936. a. w. and minna piper were nominated as among the 150 most influential individuals in seattle's history in the 2001 museum of history and industry–"seattle times" "metropolist" project. daniele gaglianone is an italian director. born in ancona, gaglianone has lived in turin since the age of six.

(incorporating the kawerau branch) is a branch railway line from the east coast main trunk at hawkens junction near edgecumbe via kawerau to murupara; built to serve a new pulp and paper mill harvesting the radiata pine trees of the kaingaroa forest on the kaingaroa plateau in the bay of plenty, new zealand. the line was the last major extension of the nzr network; of 14 km from hawkens junction to kawerau and 57 km from kawerau to murupara. the portion from hawkens junction to kawerau is now officially part of the east coast main trunk. the line was started in 1951, but in march 1953 it was decided to build the mill at kawerau not murupara, because kawerau had cheap geothermal steam for energy and also as the climate of murupara had winter mist and fog so was less suitable for a large town. so the branch ran via kawerau to murupara rather than directly from hawkens junction near edgecombe. the kawerau to murupara section required major earthworks to limit the ruling grade against loaded log trains to 1 in 60. however the easy grades between kawerau and the port of mt maunganui allow very long trains of over 2,000 tonnes. work on the section to the mill started on 12 april 1953; the rails reached kawerau in august and the first train arrived at kawerau on 26 october, six months after work started. the major earthworks on the kawerau to murupara section were completed rapidly with heavy earthmoving machinery, then prefabricated track sections were laid at the rate of 3 km a week. the first logs were loaded at galatea (48 km from kawerau and 9 km from murupara) on 4 april 1955. a regular service to murupara operated from 15 january 1957, although the line to kawerau and murupara was operated by the ministry of works (the successor to the pwd or public works department) until 1 july 1957. as the line ran through forest areas, diesel engines only were used on the line. initially, the de class were used for construction then for log trains on the still unsettled track bed; this has given the de class an unofficial status of the first mainline diesel-electric locomotive in nzr service. from october 1963 a pair of da class diesel locomotives were used, hauling 1,500-tonne log trains. more recently the standard train was a trio of dc class locomotives hauling a gross load of 2,400 tonnes on 53 usl bogie log wagons, with the primary motive power now being a pair of dl class locomotives. the annual tonnage of logs increased from 730,000 tons in 1960 to 1,126,000 tonnes in 1965. after the opening of the kaimai tunnel in 1978 the section to kawerau from hawkens junction was formally incorporated into the east coast main trunk designation with the line to taneatua downgraded to branch status. the section from kawerau to murupara became the"murupara branch", and then the murupara line from 2011. the kolmer site is an archaeological site in the far southwest of the u.s. state of illinois. located near kaskaskia and prairie du rocher in western randolph county, it lies at the site of an early historic indian village from the french period. because it occupies a critical chronological and cultural position, it has been given national recognition as a historic site. under rené-robert cavelier, sieur de la salle, the mississippi and ohio rivers were discovered and explored for the first time, and claimed as part of new france. the earliest explorers were soon followed by catholic christian missionaries led by jacques gravier, who soon won converts among the illini, and some of these praying indians founded riverside villages at cahokia, kaskaskia, and peoria. these villages were small by modern standards, although they remained comparable in size to european settlements in the area; according to letters by one missionary written in 1750, three illini villages in the american bottom together numbered fewer than eight hundred inhabitants, while the five french villages in the same region comprised eleven hundred frenchmen and three hundred blacks. established in 1720, the village at the present kolmer site was inhabited by a subgroup of the illini known also as the michigamea. here the flickering light of civilization grew for little more than thirty years before it was unexpectedly snuffed out: in 1752, a confederation of the fox, sioux, and cherokees came up against the village suddenly, and although it had been fortified with a stockade, the inhabitants were unable to hold off the invaders. many were savagely killed and numerous others captured, and the survivors fled to kaskaskia. the invaders withdrew, but only after burning the abandoned village; instead of rebuilding their destroyed homes, the michigamea established a new village nearby at a location known to modern archaeologists as the waterman site. french dominion in the american bottom ended with the treaty of paris in 1763, by which all lands east of the mississippi were ceded to the kingdom of great britain. british dominion, in turn, was ended by the american revolution: while the french settlers and local indians were originally favorable toward the british, skillful manoeuvering by george rogers clark won the support of both populations for the americans. the influence of the catholic faith may have waned by this time, as clark addressed the inhabitants of kaskaskia and cahokia using traditional religious terms instead of christian words, and by the early nineteenth century kaskaskia was home to numerous protestant churches, such as the episcopalians, the baptists, and the reformed presbyterians. nevertheless, the kolmer residents' church endured: the parish of the immaculate conception in kaskaskia survived the great nineteenth-century flood that saw the mississippi abandon its banks and leave kaskaskia an island on the western side of the river, and although the village had fallen to a population of fourteen by the time of the 2010 census, mass is still celebrated at the church weekly. when the michigamea lived at the kolmer site, it sat on the riverbank along the mississippi, but subsequent course changes have stranded the site from the river: it now lies a full mile (more than 1.5 km) away from the shoreline, behind the levee system that has been built to keep the river in its banks. now used for agricultural purposes, the soil is a mixture of sandy humus and gumbo. the area's original character has been well preserved, due largely to the lack of modern development that it has experienced. because of the suddenness of the attack that destroyed the village in 1752, the michigamea are believed to have abandoned most of their possessions, and because they established a new village rather than restoring the old, it is likely that most artifacts that survived the village's burning yet remain in situ. for these reasons, kolmer is significant for its potential to yield information about the late illini period, but its importance is greatly expanded because of its inhabitants' relationship with the french. as original artifacts from the site must be dated within a third of a century, comparisons of kolmer artifacts with artifacts from other french-influenced sites would enable archaeologists to gain a far clearer understanding of previously undated sites, while the significant changes inherent in the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to european-influenced civilization are also likely to appear in the site's artifacts. finally, as the kolmer site was intimately connected to the most prominent french settlements in the upper mississippi valley, it is a critical component of a region without parallel in the united states for its preservation of colonial france, especially as the larger village of old kaskaskia has lain under the mississippi river since its course changed. in the spring of 1974, the kolmer site was listed on the national register of historic places in two different ways. it was individually added to the register in early may, qualifying because of its archaeological significance, while one month previously it had been added as part of a large historic district. this district, the french colonial historic district, preserves of land connected to early french settlement in the region, and the kolmer site was named one of its most significant contributing properties. among the other contributing properties are truly ancient sites such as the modoc rock shelter and important french or french-influenced structures such as the creole house, the pierre menard house, fort de chartres, and the site of fort kaskaskia, as well as the waterman site where the michigamea lived after their first village was razed. john michael cooley (born september 14, 1966) is an american songwriter, singer, and guitarist from tuscumbia, alabama, near muscle shoals. he is a member of the band drive-by truckers. cooley received his first guitar at age 8, spending time with a local bluegrass musician to pick up the instrument. in 1985, he formed the punk-influenced band adam's house cat with patterson hood. the band was chosen as a top ten best unsigned band by a musician contest in the late 1980s. after the end of adam's house cat, cooley and hood performed as a duo under the name "virgil kane." they eventually started a new band, "horsepussy," before splitting for a few years. it was during this split that hood moved to athens, georgia and began forming what would become drive-by truckers "with the intent of luring cooley back into the fold. hood and cooley formed drive-by truckers in 1996. cooley contributed one song to their debut record "gangstabilly" and three songs to the follow-up, "pizza deliverance". cooley wrote five songs for the breakout double album

(coville's phacelia, buttercup scorpionweed) is a north american species of annual forbs in the borage family. it is native to the eastern and central united states in scattered locations from missouri to maryland and north carolina. "phacelia covillei" has slender weak stems which are 15 through 30 centimeters (6–12 inches) long, pubescent, and branched from their bases. its leaves have 3 through 7 deeply divided lobes. it produces small, light blue-violet flowers in early spring. the flowers are on pedicels 13–17 millimeters (0.52–0.68 inches) long, in racemes of 1–6 flowers. corolla tubes are about 6 millimeters long. fruits are spherical capsules, 3–4 millimeters (0.12–0.16 inches) in diameter, each with 1–4 seeds. "phacelia covillei" is self-pollinating, that is, evidently not pollinated by insects or other animals, in the potomac gorge area of maryland and virginia. "phacelia covillei" has a very limited, disjunct distribution in the eastern united states. it occurs in maryland and north carolina (where authorities list it as s1, endangered) and in indiana, ohio, virginia, and west virginia where state heritage programs have not distinguished it from "p. ranunculacea" (nutt.) constance which they list as endangered in each state (sewell 2003; sewell and vincent 2006). "phacelia covillei" also occurs in the district of columbia, illinois, and missouri where officials have not assigned it a conservation status. this species is common in some of its range where it grows in habitats such as floodplain forests and adjacent slope forests. development, changes in land use, competition with invasive species, or a combination of these factors can eliminate populations of this species. "phacelia covillei" is a member of the genus "phacelia", which was formerly placed in hydrophyllaceae, the waterleaf family, but has more recently been placed in boraginaceae, the borage family, in keeping with the findings of the angiosperm phylogeny group. "phacelia covillei" has sometimes been considered an eastern cytotype of "phacelia ranunculacea", which also has a very limited distribution. parvesh sahib singh verma (born 7 november 1977) is an

occupation of the region during the war of the fifth coalition in the 1809 gottscheer rebellion. erker was a gottscheer, who were ethnic germans descended from 14th century tyrolean and carinthian settlers to the then uninhabited gottschee region. according to the parish death records, erker was 28 years old when he died, and lived in windischdorf #12. it is unknown if he ever served in the austrian military, however he was almost certainly in the local landwehr battalions raised by the austrian government in 1808. during the 1809 campaign, a gottscheer battalion was stationed on the italian front and after austria's military collapse they returned to their home region. when the french advanced into carniola and towards gottschee in july, 900 gottscheer landwehr soldiers assembled to resist the advance. they were quickly dispersed by the french columns, however it would be very likely that johann erker was one of those men. he may also have played a role in the riots of september 10 in the city square, where the french district commissioner resorted to calling in a battalion to disband the 600 rioters trapping him in the city. on october 7, 1809, gottscheer and some slovene people in the border regions south of gottschee attacked french troops who were in the villages collecting taxes. by the night of october 8, word of this had reached the northern gottscheer villages such as windischdorf and erker assumed command of the local men. under his command, they joined in the assault on gottschee city the following morning and attacked the french garrison. numbering no more than 100 men, the french troops (from napoleon's italian regiments) fell back to the castle in the town square and were besieged all morning in the castle. finally, the gottscheers broke through the gates, and massacred most of the garrison. commissioner gasparini was one of the killed, dragged out through the streets and butchered by the angry rebel mob. after this battle, and during it for that matter, erker's actions are unknown. from october 9 to october 14, the rebel gottscheer forces drove french troops out of the gottschee region and laid siege to the city of neustadtl to the north. erker may have led the troops in this siege, or he led the gottscheer defenses against the french troops as they tried to force their way in at schweinberg. in neustadtl, the rebels were driven off thanks to the arrival of reinforcements under general carlo zucchi, the bravery and quick thinking of defending commander captain luigi tarducci, and their own ineptitude. at schweinberg, 100 french soldiers tried to dislodge an unknown number of rebels (though probably not much more than 100) from their formidable defenses. that battle ended after several hours of fighting with the french withdrawal after their commanding officer was cut down by gottscheer fire. on october 15, johann erker was inside the city of gottschee when the french relief force of 1,000 led by general zucchi approached from the southeast. after a brief exchange of gunfire, the french troops advanced towards the town as the defense collapsed. rebels fled the city and its vicinity as zucchi's troops entered. some stayed, and surely there was sporadic fighting and prisoners were taken. erker was arrested here, along with bartholomäus kusold, matthias stalzer, georg eisenzopf, johann jonke, and many other gottscheer rebels. the five named men were indicated as rebel leaders. after three days of looting the city, zucchi ordered the leaders executed. on the morning of october 18, 1809, a nine-man firing squad was organized facing the side of the parish church dedicated to st. bartholomew, and one by one the rebel leaders were led out to die. their order of death is not known, but regardless of the order johann erker of windischdorf was killed on that morning against the wall of the parish church. the 2004–05 top league was the second season of japan's domestic rugby

the second lake freighter of that name. the vessel was built in detroit, michigan, in 1929, by the great lakes engineering works. for her first 71 years she was operated by two subsidiaries of us steel, the pittsburgh steamship company, and the bradley transportation company. she was christened the "myron c. taylor" after one of the directors of us steel, myron charles taylor. she was originally powered by a triple expansion steam engine. during her eighty years in service she was upgraded with a self-unloading boom and conveyor belts, a bow thruster, and her steam engine was replaced with a more powerful diesel. according to george wharton, of the boatnerd site, she was the largest vessel in the us steel's fleets, when built, but by 1981, she had become one of the smallest. in 1956 us steel shifted her to the fleet of the bradley transportation company, due to an increased need to transport limestone, one of the materials needed in the manufacture of steel. at that time the vessel was retrofitted with a large self-unloading boom and the accompanying change in her holds and the addition of conveyor belts below her holds. her original steam engine produced , and over the winter of 1967/1968 her steam engine was replaced with a diesel producing . her bow thruster was retrofitted in 1988. she experienced a number of groundings, collisions and other incidents, none of which caused loss of life or serious damage. when she was damaged in 2007, she was not repaired because she was scheduled to be retired later that year. she was scrapped in port colborne, ontario in 2008. georgene louis (acoma pueblo) is an attorney and politician, elected as a democratic member of the new mexico house of representatives, representing district 26. louis was

history of education across institutions." the society was founded in 1960. its journal is the "history of education quarterly". the history of education society emerged as the field of the history of education began to coalesce. early work in the field began in the late 1800s, but became an academic discipline in the early 1900s with the work of ellwood patterson cubberley and paul monroe. teachers in training were then taught the institutional history of american public school education, particularly as "an inevitable outcome of consensus forged by a democratic society". in 1948, the national society of college teachers of education began a history of education section. the section published the "history of education journal". scholars argued over the field's aims throughout the 1950s. the ford foundation formed a committee on the role of education in american history in 1957 to create a history of education from a history of public schools, an effort to make the field more scholarly. the history of education society was founded as an independent organization in 1960, succeeding the section. with its creation came legitimacy for the field as academic study. the society was influenced by revisionism in the 1970s, which encouraged its historians to debate american public education's societal and individual roles in the society's journal and annual meetings. towards the end of the century, the education history field grew to include histories of the family, media, religion, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and educational opportunity. in 1961, the "history of education quarterly" replaced the "history of education journal" and published the society's work. the journal operated out of the university of pittsburgh with ryland w. crary as its editor and later moved to new york university, indiana university, slippery rock university, and the university of illinois. other editors have included william j. reese. in 1988, the society affiliated with the international standing conference for the history of education, which hosts annual meetings for the field around the world in conjunction with regional history of education societies. the history of education society holds its annual conferences in every region of the united states.the society also hosts several awards for scholars. mahabharat is a 2013 indian computer animated historical drama

"mahabharat" has an insurance cover of rs 50 crore,thus becoming the highest insured bollywood production film, beating "my name is khan" (2010), which was insured for rs 46 crore. the film received mixed reviews. subhash k. jha said, "if you were hoping that animation films would come of age with this purported epic, you are in for a disappointment. though the characters from the "mahabharat" have faces and voices of the biggest stars, the images do not add up to a compelling canvas. not by a wide margin." india tv said, "the presentation is epic in intent, yes. alas, the execution, packaging and projection leave the epic undernourished and over-emphasized." and rated it 2 out of 5 stars. meena iyer of the times of india rated it three and half out of five, saying "amitabh bachchan's bartitone is used for the stellar bheeshma pitamah. although the big b doesn't have muscular arms like his animated counterpart, their faces match. a superlative list of actors like sunny deol (bheem), ajay devgn (arjun), anil kapoor (karan), jackie shroff (duryodhan), manoj bajpayee (yudhisthir), anupam kher (shakuni) and vidya balan (draupadi) have also infused life into the computer generated characters with their inimitable voices." and concluded, "on the flip side, the animation effort itself is immature and several notches below those of hollywood films. yet the dub effort by the bollywood superstars uplifts this epic, making it enjoyable." deepanjana pal of "firstpost" said, "the artwork in "mahabharat" is appalling and the animation is worse. from the movements of the characters to the visual effects - like two arrows going at each other - it looks like a pirated and outdated version of ms paint was used to create the film." and added, "the movements of the characters are awkward and jerky, making it look like the mythical heroes learned how to walk from godzilla. the battle scenes are not only badly drawn and animated, they're also boring." and concluded, "this new "mahabharata" isn't so much a kid-friendly version as one made for dummies, by dummies." taran adarsh of bollywood hungama rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, saying "the usp of "mahabharat" is that the characters in the film bear a strong resemblance to the actors lending them their voices. the film should work for two more reasons: the riveting story and the superior quality animation [a handful of scenes notwithstanding]. besides, minute detailing has gone into the costumes, effects and the overall look." and concluded, "the one flaw that stands out is the lip sync of the characters with the voiceovers, which seems to go out of place in a few sequences.". "mahabharat" grossed rs 1.5 crore from 185 screens in domestic circuit in the first weekend. it was named a disaster by box office india the ukrainian scientific institute in warsaw (, ) operating in

15, 1920 – october 31, 2004) was a self-educated south korean poet. kim sang-ok was born on march 15, 1920 in tongyeong, kyeongsangnam-do, korea and died on october 31, 2004. kim's sobriquet was chojeong. during his life, kim was repeatedly imprisoned for spreading anti-japanese sentiments. in 1938, along with kim yongho and ham yunsu, kim participated in the literary group that produced the magazine 'barley', in which kim published the poems "a grain of sand” (moraeal) and "the tea room” (dabang) in 1938. following korean liberation, kim taught at masan high school, busan girls' high school, and gyeongnam girls' high school. he founded the tongyeong writers' association in 1956. kim began his literary career as a writer of sijo but eventually expanded his range to include free verse during the post-liberation period. kim's early work is marked by the contemplative attitude the poet assumes towards the world. rather than attempting to affect change, early poems such as "baekjabu" and "the onset of winter” (ipdong) serve as passive reflections on the world. kim's poetic world is also one of traditional lyricism, of moonlight, calabash flowers and pigtail ribbons, in which the poet seeks to overcome the violence of the past with the silence welling up within his breast. grounding his sijo in this traditional lyricism, kim makes use of lucid, subtle language to express his desire to liberate the forces of life lying behind external phenomena. for this reason some critics say that kim has successfully fused the abstract quality of lee eunsang’s work with the fresh, vibrant sensibility found in lee byeonggi’s poetry. in 1963, kim began to attempt the modernization of the sijo form in his own work, emphasizing the composition of both a three-line and three-stanza sijo. in 1995, kim won three awards: the jungang sijo award, the nosan literary prize and the 보관문화훈장 award. poetry collections history of education quarterly is a quarterly peer-reviewed

d'aquino (born october 22, 1974) is an american artist who works exclusively upon found antiquated objects, primarily in graphite on an incredibly miniature scale. he has been called the "master of miniatures", and is part of the lowbrow (or pop surrealist) art movement. d'aquino is best known for his 'matchbook miniatures' which are meticulously hyper detailed small scale pencil drawings, not exceeding one inch by one inch in dimension, carefully crafted onto the inside cover of vintage strike-on-front matchbooks. d'aquino's illustrations visit themes of evil, cruelty, madness, and loss of innocence. these motifs derive themselves from his passion for mystery and macabre : his greatest influences being h. p. lovecraft, edward gorey, hans bellmer, maurice sendak, and serial killers such as ed gein and sundry other real-life monsters and deviants of true crime. d'aquino was born on october 22, 1974, and raised in long island, new york. he attended purchase college in westchester, ny, where he received a degree in visual arts. after spending some time in kingston, ny, he relocated to buffalo, ny, where he currently resides. in addition to being a fine artist, he has been a tattoo artist since 2000. jason found his soulmate in artist/psychic/provocateur katy bea martinez-arizala keller (katy d'aquino). they live and work together in wedded bliss - along with their three pups and two hairless cats : porky, pearl, spooky, iggy, and dink. d'aquino is an obsessive collector of sentimental surfaces and found objects: antique books, vintage ledgers, 18th century animal-skin vellum, and human skull fragments to name a few. his constant hunt for these found objects has led him to uncover some exceptional treasures. in 2000, he discovered a hand-quilled illustrated whaling manuscript from st. petersburg russia, which was so valuable he sold it at christie's auction house in new york city. numerous forms of historical ephemera are transformed from forgotten nostalgia into illuminated masterpieces, as d'aquino skillfully applies his graphite illustrations to them. he must routinely frequent flea markets, estate sales, and creepy abandoned buildings in order to locate the found objects he prefers to draw on. the complexion of the surfaces he chooses to draw on are never artificially discolored, but rather naturally aged due to their exposure to the elements over time. he achieves the intense precision in his miniature drawings with the aid of architectural drafting tools and high-magnification goggles. while residing in kingston, ny, a friend of d'aquino's was employed at an upscale jewelry shop cutting diamonds, and one day d'aquino had the opportunity to try his friend's high capacity jewelers magnification goggles on. he instantly fell in love with the challenge of imbuing his graphite drawings with a dense level of detail that the naked eye could never ascertain alone. in a day and age where most art is first viewed on a computer screen, the scale of d'aquino's miniature drawings are lost without intimate interaction. matchbooks became the preferred canvas for d'aquino's miniature masterpieces because they impose their own built in scale reference. "i love the matchbook because it is a nostalgic, gritty, cheap little souvenir. i enjoy taking such a worthless surface and turning it into a coveted piece of art." jason d'aquino has been using the matchbook as a canvas since 2002 and has acquired international acclaim for himself with this innovational idea. he has even inspired many other artists such as joseph martinez, adam padilla, and mike bell, to create spin-off matchbook miniature art. rose marks (born ) is the american matriarch of a family of fraudulent psychics convicted of federal crimes in 2013 in florida. marks and members of

central park. they told vulnerable clients that the only solution to their problems was to give the purported psychics money. prior to this case there was doubt that a psychic could be criminally charged. jurors were told that fortune-telling is constitutionally protected free speech, but federal prosecutors contended marks engaged in fraud by promising to keep clients money safe, "cleanse" it and return it when she had no intention of returning it. the case drew widespread coverage. charles stack, a retired fort lauderdale police detective, said the case and the ensuing publicity brought attention to predatory and fraudulent fortune tellers. the family amassed a fortune estimated at between $25 and $40 million. defense attorney fred schwartz said the federal government seized marks' family assets including cars, motorcycles, a boat, gold, jewelry and a home near the intracoastal waterway. in 2014, marks was sentenced over 10 years in prison for defrauding clients of her family's fortune-telling businesses out of more than $17.8 million. according to paula mcmahon, staff writer for the "sun-sentinel" newspaper, the family are vlax roma, the largest gypsy group in the us. mcmahon states members of this group "traditionally drop out of school when they are 8 or 9 years old" and that "mothers train daughters to develop what they call 'psychic' or 'intuitive' powers." this training was presented by both prosecutors and the defense during rose marks' trial. schwarz said marks began working at the age of 8 or 9. the marks family immigrated from greece in the late 19th or early 20th century. although adhering to romani cultures and beliefs, like the payment of dowries and arranged marriages, they also worked to assimilate into american life. in an interview with mcmahon, rose marks said her father was steve "boyo" eli, a land owner and romani judge. according to marks, he mediated land, inheritance, divorce and dowry disputes in the gypsy community near newark, new jersey. marks attended public school until she dropped out in the third grade. she was married in an arranged marriage at 16 or 17 years old, living in virginia until moving to broward county in 1998. marks and her late husband opened the store in manhattan. the family was identified as relatives of the late gypsy leader, jimmy marks of spokane, washington by the new york "daily news". stack began an investigation into rose marks and family in 2007 before retiring from the fort lauderdale police department. a subsequent federal investigation, "operation crystal ball", resulted in a sixty-one-count indictment, unsealed on august 16, 2011, charging marks and eight family members with crimes spanning twenty years. on september 8, 2013, marks was convicted of all fourteen federal crimes she had been charged with. the charges were one count of conspiracy to commit mail/wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, two counts of mail fraud, two counts of money laundering, six counts of wire fraud and two counts of filing false income returns. schwartz said she will appeal on several grounds, including "government misconduct" by investigators who failed to record interviews with victims. us magistrate judge james hopkins had previously criticized the government's conduct but felt it did not meet criteria for dismissal of the case. mistakes initially made in presenting the case to the grand jury were serious enough to require presentation to a second grand jury. in an unusual ruling, hopkins ordered that portions of the transcript of the grand jury testimony, normally secret, be made available to the defense. among the concerns raised were the use of the term "gypsy" as an ethnic stereotype and the inclusion of victims who had not been interviewed including one who insisted he had never been victimized. the indictment handed down was the fourth version. eight family members had previously pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit wire/mail fraud, they were: marks's daughter (rosie marks), son-in-law (donnie eli), her two sons and their wives (michael marks & cynthia miller and ricky marks & nancy marks), her sister (victoria eli), and granddaughter (vivian marks). before the pleas were entered, defense attorney for nancy marks, michael gottlieb, filed a 24-page request for dismissal on the grounds of freedom of religion portraying the family's actions as based on their religious beliefs and a belief in spiritual healing. attorneys for rose marks and other family members joined the request. defense lawyers contended that the prosecution of the family was the most recent example of long-running persecution of the romani people rooted in a lack of understanding of their culture and bias against them. vivian marks was sentenced to four months each in prison and of house arrest followed by three years' probation on october 7, 2013. the same day, michael marks and ricky marks were sentenced to six months' house arrest followed by two years' probation and eight months' house arrest followed by two years' probation, respectively. rose marks was sentenced to just over ten years in federal prison on march 3, 2014 for defrauding clients of her family's fortune-telling businesses out of more than $17.8 million. she was convicted of scamming numerous clients, including best-selling romance novelist jude deveraux, who was a client since 1991. victims testified that she convinced them she could swap people's souls between bodies, prevent a woman from conceiving via in vitro fertilization and even use her psychic powers to prevent the internal revenue service from going after them for taxes. according to the indictment, there were numerous victims of the marks family's psychic ruse through the use of "various magicians tricks" creating an impression of genuine psychic ability. the family claimed to communicate directly with michael the archangel. the women of the family, including rose marks, sometimes used the alias joyce michael(s). many of the victims had suffered a traumatic loss. two victims identified by "the palm beach post", author jude deveraux and another woman were defrauded of $20 million and $1 million, respectively. deveraux believed the money would be returned after it was "cleansed". the single victim of vivian marks identified by the "sun-sentinel" was defrauded of $180,000 which he was told would go to charity work in africa. another victim was told that her money had burned in the september 11 attacks. a victim who had been hearing voices in his head was told by cynthia miller that she would speak with michael the archangel who she said told her the victim needed to sacrifice gold coins. this victim turned $400,000 in gold coins over to miller. a family curse that could be cured only by the "cleansing" of money and valuables was a scenario frequently employed by the marks family. victims included a female us naval academy graduate, an english attorney and other highly educated men and women with executive positions. michael vasquez wrote in the "miami herald" that the indictment included the following examples of the methods used by marks and her family: major general rollen henry anthis (december 4, 1915 – august 19, 1995) was an american two-star major general in the united states air force who served as

( "bolvār e keshāvarz") or simply "bolvār" (the boulevard) is a central boulevard in tehran, iran. it is a 2.2 km long, east-west boulevard which connects valiasr street and valiasr sq. to imam khomeini hospital complex and is located in district 6 of tehran. this boulevard was named ""elizabeth boulevard"" after queen elizabeth ii visit to iran during the former regime of iran, pahlavi dynasty. however, after the 1979 revolution, it was renamed keshavarz (meaning "farmer" in persian) boulevard, as the main building of the ministry of agriculture of iran was located close to this boulevard. there are many buildings, organizations and offices all along the boulevard including various banks, hotels, hospitals as well as the ministry of agriculture building, and university of tehran. laleh park which is one of the biggest parks in tehran is also bordering the boulevard. jesse m. peters (july 21, 1897 – march 7, 1962) was a member of the wisconsin state senate. peters was

pronounced lei in cantonese, and often spelled lee in hong kong and overseas-chinese communities. it is listed 364th in the song dynasty classic "hundred family surnames". as of 2008, li is the 299th most common surname in china. traditional texts have recorded several possible origins of the surname li (利): 1. according to the song dynasty text "lushi", a collection of historical facts, legends, and folklore, some of the descendants of laozi (fl. 6th century bc) adopted the surname li, in honour of their ancestor lizhen () who lived during the shang dynasty. 2. according to the 9th-century tang dynasty text "yuanhe xing zuan", during the spring and autumn period, a prince of the chu state was enfeoffed at the settlement of li (in present-day guangyuan, sichuan province), and his descendants adopted li as their surname. this branch originates from the royal chu surname of mi (芈). 3. also during the spring and autumn period, a minister of jin state was enfeoffed at another settlement with the same name li. his descendants used the surname lisun (), later shortened to li. this branch originates from the royal jin surname of ji (姬). during the northern wei dynasty (386–535), the xianbei rulers pursued a policy of drastic sinicization, and ordered many non-chinese people to adopt chinese surnames. the "book of wei" records that several tribes whose chinese transliteration contains the character li 利, such as chili (叱利), adopted li as their surname. e. b. west was an american physician and surgeon from waukesha, wisconsin who served a single one-year term as a whig partymember of the wisconsin senate in 1852 from the wisconsin senate, district 13, succeeding george hyer. before the members of the 1853 senate were elected, the senate's membership was expanded from 19 to 25. in his old district, now wisconsin senate, district 10, he was defeated by marvin h. bovee for the new session. helminger is a surname. notable people with the surname include: tęcza (, meaning "rainbow") was an artistic construction in the form of a giant rainbow made of artificial flowers erected on the savior square ("plac zbawiciela") in the polish capital of warsaw in the summer of 2012. it was maintained by the adam mickiewicz institute. it was vandalized several times, generating significant media coverage in polish media, usually in the context of lgbt rights in poland. the construction was permanently removed in august 2015. this installation is the third in a series of similar installations created; the second one was featured in front of the european parliament in brussels from 8 september 2011 during the polish presidency of the european union. the warsaw tęcza was based on the brussels one, which was moved to warsaw on 8 june 2012. for this project, wójcik received the paszport polityki award. the installation was supposed to evoke positive feelings related to the rainbow, such as love, peace and hope, and was intended to be a universal, apolitical symbol. however, far-right nationalist and catholic groups identified it with the rainbow flag, a symbol of the lgbt movement. during the night of 26–27 august 2015, the construction for holding flowers was officially and permanently dismantled. three years later, on 9 june 2018, a new water and light-based installation was unveiled, but it was active only for a few hours for the 2018 parada równości event. as the rainbow symbol is also associated with the lgbt movement, locating the tęcza in the savior square in warsaw proved controversial. the installation was damaged five times as of november 2013, with the usual method of vandalism being arson. the installation was damaged on 13 september 2012; on 1 january 2013 (ruled to be accidental fireworks damage) and again three days later on 4 january; in july 2013; and once again during marches on polish independence day on 11 november 2013. the november 2013 incident occurred in the background of a wider riot by right-wing nationalists, who clashed with police and vandalized other parts of the city as well, also attacking the russian embassy. on 7 december 2014, the rainbow was set on fire by an unknown man just before 01:30. the flames were put out quickly by a police officer. the man who lit the fire was not apprehended. the installation was criticized by conservative and right-wing figures. law and justice politician bartosz kownacki derogatorily called the installation a "faggot rainbow" ("pedalska tęcza"). another law and justice politician, stanisław pięta, complained that the "hideous rainbow had hurt the feelings of believers" attending the nearby church of the holiest saviour. priest tadeusz rydzyk of radio maryja fame, described it as a "symbol of deviancy". frederick sprague was a member of the wisconsin state senate during the 1849 and 1850 sessions. he was a democrat. the "hillary doctrine" is the doctrine of former united states secretary of state hillary rodham clinton, particularly in reference to her stance that women's rights and violence against women should be considered issues of national security. the doctrine encompasses stances she has held before, during, and after her tenure as secretary. the doctrine is most explicitly stated in a december 8, 2010, surprise appearance talk that clinton made at the tedwoman conference in washington, d.c.: so the united states has made empowering women and girls a cornerstone of our foreign policy, because women's equality is not just a moral issue, it's not just a humanitarian issue, it is not just a fairness issue; it is a security issue. it is a prosperity issue and it is a peace issue ... give women equal rights, and entire nations are more stable and secure. deny women equal rights, and the instability of nations is almost certain. the subjugation of women is, therefore, a threat to the common security of our world and to the national security of our country. the principle was incorporated into the inaugural quadrennial diplomacy and development review that was conducted and published by the state department during 2009–10, which mentioned women and girls over 130 times and which said "the protection and empowerment of women and girls is key to the foreign policy and security of the united states." the doctrine was stated again by clinton in the culminating chapter of "hard choices", her 2014 memoir of her time as secretary: ... it was no coincidence that the places where women's lives were most undervalued largely lined up with the parts of the world most plagued by instability, conflict, extremism, and poverty. this was a point lost on many of the men working across washington's foreign policy establishment, but over the years i came to view it as one of the most compelling arguments for why standing up for women and girls was not just the right thing to do but also smart and strategic ... the correlation was undeniable, and a growing body of research showed that improving conditions for women helped resolve conflicts and stabilize societies. "women's issues" had long been relegated to the margins of u.s. foreign policy and international diplomacy, considered at best a nice thing to work on but hardly a necessity. i became convinced that, in fact, this was a cause that cut to the heart of our national security. the roots of the doctrine begin with the lineage of clinton's political career from standing in the shadow of her husband, president bill clinton, as first lady, to being put in the public spotlight in her own right during a speech she gave at the fourth world conference on women in 1995 in beijing. in this speech, clinton made the proclamation that, "if there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all." this statement was a pivotal moment and starting point in the formation of what subsequently became known as the hillary doctrine. another important early marker was the adoption of united nations security council resolution 1325 and the national action plans that came out of it. and during her u.s. senate confirmation hearings to become secretary of state, clinton stated: "i want to pledge to you that as secretary of state i view [women's] issues as central to our foreign policy, not as adjunct or auxiliary or in any way lesser than all of the other issues that we have to confront." the explicit notion of such a thing was first introduced by a "newsweek" article entitled "the hillary doctrine" and published in march 2011 by journalist gayle tzemach lemmon. in it, clinton is quoted as saying that she believes "that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century." to strengthen her argument for women's rights, clinton situates this issue within the context of national security, in that, "where women are disempowered and dehumanized, you are more likely to see not just antidemocratic forces, but extremism that leads to security challenges." in another article by lemmon, published in "the atlantic" in april 2013, the hillary doctrine is again elucidated. lemmon cites a speech given by clinton to the women in the world summit soon after leaving the state department in which she reflects upon the case she made for women's rights in the past and argues that "too many otherwise thoughtful people continue to see the fortunes of women and girls as somehow separate from society at large." further, clinton explains how extremists rely upon this ignorance to keep women from being liberated, and, with that, also bar entire societies from liberation. however, rather than speaking in purely abstract terms of "extremists" and "societies", clinton concretely identifies some countries that she wants to see treat their women better, namely: egypt, pakistan, india, and at a different level, the united states itself. to conclude, lemmon speculates whether the hillary doctrine will be transformed into a political platform upon which clinton can run for president in 2015. however, regardless of speculation on clinton's actions in the future, for now, the hillary doctrine stands as an important contribution to national security discussions around the world. in their 2015 book "the hillary doctrine: sex and american foreign policy", texas a&m university professor valerie m. hudson and former world health organization manager and consultant patricia leidl examine the hillary doctrine at length, beginning with its premise. at first, the notion was considered counter-intuitive and sometimes received cursory dismissal within academic circles. but hudson surveys research that she and others have done, in part using the womanstats project database, on the link between violence against women and gender inequality within a state and the level of national security and stability of that state. they summarize one set of findings by saying: "what the research team found was that the best predictor of a state's peacefulness was not level of democracy, or wealth, or civilizational identity: the best predictor of a state's peacefulness was its level of violence against women. these findings cut across wealth, regime type, and region." several case studies are described that investigate causation, such as looking sex-selective abortion and female infanticide in asia, rape during the congo civil wars, the fate of women in the arab spring, and at greatest length, ongoing violence against women in guatemala. hudson and leidl then look at the foreign policy of the barack obama administration and hillary clinton's tenure as secretary of state to see whether their actions reflected commitment to the hillary doctrine. in many cases, they found that it did, such as appointing many women to positions of power, increasing funding for the office of global women's issues by a factor of ten, heavy use of social media, and clinton's local visits to women's groups. indeed, clinton made the empowerment of women worldwide the signature issue of her time as secretary of state. but they also note a number of occasions where clinton and the administration were silent about abuses of women or girls due to strategic needs of the u.s., most of all in the "conspicuous silence" about saudi arabia's treatment of its female population. finally, they look at implementation, and find that during the period in question much was done to implement the hillary doctrine in washington by means of setting up a regulatory and legal framework for it, but that there was a more mixed record past that point, with omissions and weaknesses occurring in the program development, contracting, and local implementation phases. critiques of the doctrine have suggested that it embodies "imperial feminism", the promotion of feminist values in order to justify militarism and a modern-day u.s. empire. another line of concern is that u.s. actions put women at risk over time, with particular attention to those who were encouraged to take a more prominent role in pushing for women's rights in afghanistan and anxiety for their safety following the planned withdrawal of u.s. forces from that country. indeed, hudson and leidl consider the condition of afghan women to be a litmus test for whether the hillary doctrine can achieve realization. other theories to explain the root causes of conflict and international instability also exist, such as the clash of civilizations hypothesis, democratic peace theory, and an emphasis on environmental poverty and scarcity. several other definitions of what a "hillary doctrine" might be have appeared in print. another article titled "the hillary doctrine", published in "the atlantic" in january 2013 by journalist david rohde, talks about the terms of exchanges between clinton and other american politicians within discussions of dilemmas concerning the united states and certain african countries. this time, clinton explicitly called out actions taken by the united states abroad, and argued that, contrary to popular belief, "a lot of the challenges we face are not immediately – or sustainably – solved by military action alone." further, while the aforementioned doctrine focuses on populations, such as women and children, that are typically ignored within discussions of national security, clinton also makes an effort to push for including places that have historically been ignored within national security discussions, as well. however, rohde never mentions the phrase "hillary doctrine" in the piece, and it could have been the creation of the magazine's headline writer. in april 2015, james m. goldgeier, political scientist and dean of the school of international service at american university, wrote an article titled "the hillary clinton doctrine" (the only place in the article that mentions "doctrine") for "the national interest". however, the article mostly analyzes foreign policy trends of the last several u.s. administrations and makes suggestions for what a hillary clinton foreign policy should be while emphasizing the limitations and difficulties of possible courses of action. no explicit mention of a "hillary doctrine" by name has been made by clinton herself. moreover, in "hard choices", she stated that there was no unified "obama doctrine" during her tenure either, saying the range of problems the country faced did not allow for a "simple and elegant road map" to deal with them. however, in an august 2014 interview with journalist jeffrey goldberg of "the atlantic", clinton seems to yearn for such an approach in dealing with jihadism that was comparable to the containment strategy the u.s. used against the soviet union during the cold war. she made reference to a much-quoted simple dictum of obama's by saying, "great nations need organizing principles, and 'don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle." analyzing this interview, in august 2014, journalist john cassidy wrote an article called "the hillary doctrine: 'smart power' or 'back to the crusades'?" in "the new yorker" that stated that clinton was advocating "a sustained global campaign targeting radical islam (some, doubtless, will call it a 'crusade') that encompasses all of the options at the disposal of the united states and its allies: military, diplomatic, economic, political, and rhetorical." but again, the phrase "hillary doctrine" is only in the piece's headline. in macroeconomics, chartalism is a theory of money that argues that money originated with states' attempts to direct economic activity rather than as a spontaneous solution to the problems with barter or as a means with which to tokenize debt, and that fiat currency has value in exchange because of sovereign power to levy taxes on economic activity payable in the currency they issue. georg friedrich knapp, a german economist, coined the term "chartalism" in his "state theory of money", which was published in german in 1905 and translated into english in 1924. the name derives from the latin "charta", in the sense of a token or ticket. knapp argued that "money is a creature of law" rather than a commodity. knapp contrasted his state theory of money with "metallism", as embodied at the time in the gold standard, where the value of a unit of currency depended on the quantity of precious metal it contained or could be exchanged for. he argued the state could create pure paper money and make it exchangeable by recognising it as legal tender, with the criterion for the money of a state being "that which is accepted at the public pay offices". constantina katsari has argued that principles from both metallism and chartalism were reflected in the monetary system introduced by augustus, which was used in the eastern provinces of the roman empire, from the early 1st century to the late 3rd century ad. when knapp was writing, the prevailing view of money was that it had evolved from systems of barter to become a medium of exchange because it represented a durable commodity which had some use value. however, as modern chartalist economists such as randall wray and mathew forstater have pointed out, chartalist insights into tax-driven paper money can be found in the earlier writings of many classical economists, for instance adam smith, who observed in "the wealth of nations": forstater also finds support for the concept of tax-driven money, under certain institutional conditions, in the work of jean-baptiste say, j.s. mill, karl marx and william stanley jevons. alfred mitchell-innes, writing in 1914, argued that money existed not as a medium of exchange but as a standard of deferred payment, with government money being debt the government could reclaim by taxation. innes argued: knapp and "chartalism" were referenced by john maynard keynes in the opening pages of his 1930 "treatise on money" and appear to have influenced keynesian ideas on the role of the state in the economy. by 1947, when abba lerner wrote his article "money as a creature of the state", economists had largely abandoned the idea that the value of money was closely linked to gold. lerner argued that responsibility for avoiding inflation and depressions lay with the state because of its ability to create or tax away money. economists warren mosler, l. randall wray, stephanie kelton, and bill mitchell are largely responsible for reviving chartalism as an explanation of money creation; wray refers to this revived formulation as "neo-chartalism". mitchell, founder of the centre of full employment and equity or coffee at the university of newcastle in australia, coined the term modern monetary theory to describe modern neo-chartalism, and that term is now widely used. scott fullwiler has added detailed technical analysis of the banking and monetary systems. rodger malcolm mitchell's book "free money" describes in layman's terms the essence of chartalism. some contemporary proponents, such as wray, situate chartalism within post-keynesian economics, while chartalism has been proposed as an alternative or complementary theory to monetary circuit theory, both being forms of endogenous money, i.e., money created within the economy, as by government deficit spending or bank lending, rather than from outside, as by gold. in the complementary view, chartalism explains the "vertical" (government-to-private and vice versa) interactions, while circuit theory is a model of the "horizontal" (private-to-private) interactions. hyman minsky seemed to incorporate a chartalist approach to money creation in his "stabilizing an unstable economy", while basil moore, in his book "horizontalists and verticalists", delineates the differences between bank money and state money. james k. galbraith supports chartalism and wrote the foreword for mosler's book "seven deadly innocent frauds of economic policy" in 2010. the continued use of the somali shilling as currency despite the lack of a functioning central government capable of raising taxes or a central bank to issue it has been cited as a counterargument to chartalism. bitcoin, a cryptocurrency not originated by a

as judge dindayal. jeevalal says do not send me back to prison as i have escaped only to meet my daughter and says he will kill dindayal if he raises an alarm. dindayal asks his servant bhola to give jeevanlal food properly and says "let him eat and sleep in our house in the same room where my deceased son used to sleep". the same night again jeevanlal tries to run and steals a golden idol from

feels he can trust jeevanlal, though he is a judge he is ready to give jeevanlal a new lease of life, with the new name j.v. as he felt that fate was actually playing the game in life of both himself and jeevanlal as he, though old, is forced to live in the world, whereas his young son died a premature death and on the other hand jeevanlal was forced by fate to commit a crime which was necessary to take care of his daughter, but now even that daughter has got separated from him. dindayal lets jeevanlal stay in his house and take care of his assets and has advised him not to stop praying to god and gives him a bag full of cash for jeevanalal to start a new life. six years later jeevanlal will re-surface as a wealthy male and prospective mayor knew now simply as j.v.; while his grown-up daughter guddu (farah naaz) will be living two lives - one as the single mother nirmala of a young boy child, kiran; and the other as a gun-toting alcoholic dancer prostitute known as bulbul. nirmala, after her husband's death starts working in a factory owned by j.v., but due to her concentrating on her small baby's cry, she is thrown out by the factory management and to earn money she gets into the club dancer profession and sends her child to rajan's chachi (shubha khote). now nirmala decides to take revenge on the owner of the factory, j.v., for having changed her life (she was working in his factory only as a worker, but was thrown out and circumstances forced her to become a prostitute. she dresses up like bulbul, a modern prostitute and decides to meet up with j.v. and she says would he like to be her client for a day. j.v. slaps her, saying he is a good human being and the habit she has is really bad and that she is characterless. jeevanlal though, does not know where his daughter is living and how she now looks, but comes across a child called kiran on the road on a fine day. he asks kiran why she is crying. then rajan dada says he wants to sell that girl as she has been brought up by chacha-chachi in this area and its none of jeevanlal's business. j.v. replies to him saying this girl reminds him of his own daughter guddu and asks whether kiran's mother's name is nirmala. j.v. harbors doubt in his mind, but rajan dada and chachi stop kiran from disclosing her mother's name and j.v. asks kulkarni to find the name of kiran's parents. later, he finds bulbul again in the profession of prostitute and advises her saying that she should not be in this profession and that she is like a daughter to him. then bulbul says j.v. you are responsible me for being thrown out of your factory and making me a prostitute, otherwise i would have been a simple working-class woman. nirmala does not recognize her dad's face immediately, but soon her memory works and she realizes that j.v. is her own father from whom she got separated after that fateful night, but chooses to not let j.v. know the truth. later jeevanlal tries his best to solve all her problems including dealing with rajan dada, who is responsible for nirmala's husband's early death and kiran separating from her mother nirmala. later bulbul confesses that she is nirmala, none other than his own daughter, who was forced to live a horrific life, due to his absence in her life during teenage years and aftermath. now j.v. solves every problem of her daughter's life, including ensuring that both kiran and nirmala unite and that rajan dada is killed. all songs are music by rajesh roshan. it is the last released film where kishore kumar has sung for rajesh khanna. this is the first feature

support to centrist republican candidates standing for election in swing districts and statewide office. sam reed and other republicans in washington organized a symposium to discuss the future of the republican party in the state in 1969. the event, branded the cascade conference, ultimately became an annual meeting. in 1990 attendees of the cascade conference organized the mainstream republicans of washington as a permanent advocacy group. in 2002 the republican main street partnership and the mainstream republicans of washington announced a working partnership "to recruit, promote and support quality moderate republicans for elective office in washington state and nationwide." members of mainstream republicans of washington include former congressman sid morrison, former secretaries of state ralph munro and sam reed, former lands commissioner doug sutherland, and state legislators gary alexander, steve litzow, and hans zeiger. rodney tom, a one-time republican state legislator who switched to the democratic party, is a former member of the group's board of directors. since 2008 mainstream republicans has organized action for washington, an annual leadership training program targeting college students and recent college graduates. the group continues to host its annual symposium, the cascade conference. in 2007, former united states attorney john mckay, who had been fired by the george w. bush administration in the dismissal of u.s. attorneys controversy, received enthusiastic applause when he addressed the conference. the 2013 event featured a speech by tacoma mayor marilyn strickland, a democratic party activist who had previously made headlines when she described republicans as "racist," a remark for which she later apologized. the organization claims to have raised and donated more than $500,000 to republican candidates in washington in 2012. major supporters of the group that year included microsoft and weyerhaeuser, which each donated $25,000, and former mccaw cellular executive bruce mccaw, who gave $10,000. labor unions, including the state teacher's union and the washington federation of state employees, also contributed to the mainstream republicans of washington. mainstream republicans of washington has generally advocated consensus-building and compromise in public policy while backing fiscally conservative candidates with both socially conservative and socially liberal views. in 2013 the group's executive-director called on the republican party to eschew conservative candidates in favor of those likely to "attract more people living in the middle of the spectrum." the organization has had a sometimes contentious relationship with religious conservatives. when ken eikenberry, the chairman of the washington state republican party, was challenged for the party's leadership in 1994 by the head of the christian coalition in washington, mainstream republicans president mark gardner warned that religious conservatives were trying to gain control of the party's money and influence. the group cautioned that, while they would ultimately be willing to back most republican candidates, they might also campaign against those they found too extreme. in 2005 mainstream republicans came out in opposition to washington initiative 912, a ballot measure that would have repealed a 9.5-cent gas tax enacted by the state legislature. the tax increase had been passed to fund transportation infrastructure improvements. mainstream republicans of washington backed washington referendum 71 in 2009, which allowed same-sex couples to enter into domestic partnerships in the state, and endorsed washington referendum 74, a measure introduced in 2012 to license same-sex marriage. in the washington gubernatorial election, 2012, mainstream republicans of washington endorsed gop candidate rob mckenna and criticized votes taken by democratic challenger jay inslee while in congress which the group characterized as being anti-gay. the following year the group joined with the democratic party in washington in opposing initiative 517, a ballot measure that would require some private property owners to allow petitioners to gather signatures on their property. the proposal was subsequently rejected by voters. the 2013 election season also saw mainstream republicans of washington come out against initiative 522, which would have required labeling of genetically modified foods. other recent candidate endorsements the group has made include joe fain, dick muri, jan angel, and kim wyman. in 2004, an environmental advocacy group - washington conservation voters - objected to a claim made by mainstream republicans of washington that republican candidate doug sutherland had been endorsed by the group in his campaign for lands commissioner. while individual board members of washington conservation voters had endorsed sutherland, the organization itself had endorsed his democratic opponent, mike cooper. mainstream republicans of washington subsequently posted a clarification on its website. the washington state public disclosure commission fined mainstream republicans of washington $10,000 in 2005 after the group made a $30,000 contribution to sam reed's campaign for reelection as secretary of state. the donation limit was $1,350. in 2007 mainstream republicans of washington again had a run-in with washington conservation voters when the group charged that a mainstream republicans campaign mailer falsely implied some of the candidates it was endorsing had also received endorsements from washington conservation voters. a public disclosure commission investigation exonerated the mainstream republicans. events from the year 2000 in bulgaria taeniotes is a genus of flat-faced longhorns beetles in the subfamily lamiinae of the family cerambycidae. species within this genus include: kim wonu (hangul: 김원우) is a modern south korean novelist. kim wonu was born on april 11, 1974, with sources unclear on gimhae gyeongsangnam-do or jinju gyeongsangnam-do, korea. kim attended gyeongbuk university from which he received his b.a. in english and sogang university from which he received and m.a. in korean. he has been a member of the group "jakga" since 1979 and served as editor in chief on minumsa publishing. kim wonu made his literary debut in 1977 with the novella appointed posts (imji), a scathing critique of the philistinism and commodity fetishism that he saw as pervasive in middle-class korean society. everyday lives of middle-class koreans in all its unabashed materialism and self-interest, is an abiding concern in the entire body of kim wonu's fiction. his characters possess little or no individual personality, and can only find meaning in their lives through the ceaseless pursuit of profit. because they are so entrenched in immediate material gratification, they fail to realize the sterility of their lives; kim wonu, therefore, frequently employs an outside agent to act as a mediator in his fiction. there is, however, a certain reflectiveness that pervades kim wonu's fiction, and this quality has much to do with the way in which kim's own experiences are brought to bear in his fictional accounts. the falsity and hypocrisy that underlie middle-class rhetoric of success is part of his life as well; the sense of weariness generated by life's routines can be detected in kim's reminiscences of his own youth. kim wonu's critical voice thus conveys something stubborn yet honest at the same time. combined effectively with meticulous, insightful descriptions of ordinary people and events, this voice allows kim wonu's works to become something more than mere 'novel of manners' and offer intellectually engaging portraits of life that are at once fiercely critical and heart-warming. kim has won the 1998 dong-sa literature award and 2002 daesan literature prize. born in crewkerne on 9 december 1898 he was educated at selwyn college, cambridge and ordained in 1925. after a curacy in his home town he was vicar of waltham abbey from 1929 until his appointment as archdeacon. he died on 6 may 1982.

decided to disobey hideyoshi's commands and relieve the castle of toshimitsu. the shimazu besieging army noted their approach, and redoubled their efforts to take toshimitsu, so that when the invaders arrived at the hetsugi river, which flowed within sight of the castle, they could see the flags of shimazu flying from its towers. chōsokabe motochika proposed a withdrawal, but his companions insisted on doing battle, so the shimazu set their trap. the decoy force led by ijuin hisanori attacked across the river and then withdrew, which persuaded the allied left wing to follow them. they were met by arquebus and arrow fire, and the main body of the shimazu then fell upon them. after much fierce fighting the invading force withdrew across the river and caused confusion to its own right wing. chōsokabe motochika was obliged to signal a full retreat, during which his son and heir nobuchika was killed. the al furqan brigades are a militant group that has been active throughout egypt.

popularly amogst his friends and former team mates as jetro . robert burrowes (1825 – 16 september 1893) was a politician in colonial victoria (australia), a member of the victorian legislative assembly. burrowes was born in perth, ontario, canada, the son of james burrowes and his wife henrietta, "née" nixon. after experience in the lumber trade he left canada in 1852, and arrived in melbourne in april 1853. he almost immediately afterwards left for the bendigo (sandhurst) diggings, where he took an active part in creating sandhurst municipality, and was chairman of the local council when the bendigo railway line was established in 1862. burrowes was returned to the victorian assembly for sandhurst in january 1866, and held the seat till his defeat in may 1877. in may 1880 he was re-elected, and held the seat until his death on 16 september 1893. from august 1881 to march 1883 he was minister of mines in the o'loghlen government. burrowes married in 1858 sarah ellen,

agricultural high school, and has worked as a teacher at the imsil tokchi elementary school. and at woonam elementary school. kim made his official literary debut in 1982 when "seomjingang river i” (seomjingang i) and seven other poems were included in undying flame (kkeojiji anneun hwaetbullo)a book of poetry with collected works by twenty-one prominent poets, published by creation and criticism. kim's work takes as its point of departure that which is forgotten in the bustle of modern life - the countryside, a leaf of grass, the smell of one's mother's hair. kim's affectionate and delicate treatment of the everyday affairs of people living in the countryside offered urban dwellers an unadulterated account of rural farming communities. underlying the poet's tender poetic sensibility is a stern voice of censure. in "beat the drums of protest” (madangeun bittureojyeosseodo jangguneun baro chija), for example, the poet offers a powerful disapprobation of city politicians and government policymakers who distort and pervert reports on the actual conditions confronting farmers in the countryside. underlying kim's poetic undertaking is the poet's candid desire to provide a sense of dignity to the rural community. this approach, however, has rendered the poet vulnerable to criticism as anachronistic and incapable of offering a solution to the harsh realities of modern society. kim's desire for community, however, possesses a straightforward quality otherwise lacking in the sometimes convoluted theories of modernity. kim's stance affirms the spirit of the people, whom he believes derive their identity and dignity from a long history of agrarian life. the robust critical spirit of his poetry derives from his use of the jeolla-do dialect in poetic forms such as gasa, taryeong, and pansori. this combined use of dialect, proverbs, and colloquialisms strengthens the sense of rural community in kim's poetry. the use of traditional rhythms, furthermore, endows kim's poetry with the power to engender tension, rage, and laughter. kim has won several awards in 1986 the kim su-yeong literature award, in 1997 the sowol poetry prize, in 2002 the 소충사선문화상 award and in 2012 the 윤동주 문학대상 award. the 2013 season was pahang's 23rd consecutive season in the top flight of malaysian football. pahang's victory in the 2013 malaysia cup for the third time in their history,

association football match arranged to raise funds for charitable causes supported by the football association (the fa), the governing body of football in england. for the fourth time, the match was contested by select teams of amateur and professional players. it was played on 5 october 1925 at white hart lane, london, and ended as a 6–1 win for the amateurs. claude ashton scored four goals and frank macey two for the amateurs; charlie hannaford scored the professionals' goal. for the third year running, the football association decided the shield should be contested not by club sides but by teams of amateur and professional players selected by the fa's international selection committee. while the amateur xi was made up of the top players in amateur football, including several with international experience, the professionals were chosen from among those who had taken part in the fa xi's tour of australia from may to august, so included only players whose clubs had been prepared to release them for several months and risk their exhaustion or injury. the match was to be played in the afternoon of monday 5 october 1925 at white hart lane, the north london ground of tottenham hotspur f.c. the teams lined up as originally selected, with two exceptions. alfred bower was chosen to captain the amateurs, but dislocated his shoulder; he was replaced as left back by e.h. gates of london caledonians and as captain by claude ashton. the professionals' forward line had to be reorganised at short notice after stan seymour replaced the injured bert batten of plymouth argyle, who had scored 47 goals on the australian tour. centre-forward ashton gave the amateurs the lead after five minutes, with a hard shot into the corner off walter bellamy's cross. in the next quarter of an hour, the professionals hit the frame of the goal three times. on the first occasion, benjamin howard baker rushed out of goal but failed to collect ernie simms' shot; the ball struck the foot of the post, and gates was able to clear before it spun back into the net. then a shot from jimmy walsh and a volley by jack elkes each struck a post, rebounded into play, and were cleared by the defence. soon afterwards, simms suffered a leg strain. he played on, limping on the wing, until half-time, but took no part in the second half. after 35 minutes, ashton scored his second goal, in similar fashion to the first; he trapped bellamy's cross and shot hard into the corner. in what remained of the first half, frank macey had two close-range shots, "but both were saved most brilliantly" by harry hardy. two minutes into the second half, the professionals were awarded a penalty for handball. seymour took the kick, but shot straight at howard baker, after which the "times" reporter felt the professionals lost heart. shortly afterwards, ashton received a pass from billy bryant, dummied cecil poynton and hit a low drive past hardy for his and the amateurs' third goal. macey chipped the ball over hardy for the fourth, and after a passing move involving several players, macey pulled the ball back to give ashton a tap-in. edgar kail found macey unmarked, and he "got the last goal with both spencer and charlton trying to worry him off the ball [which] was typical of his work throughout." with five minutes left, a move down the right wing between walsh and charlie hannaford led to the latter's consolation goal for the professionals. while the individual skill of the forwards drew deserved attention, ashton's ability to take his chances and macey's footwork and clever use of the ball in particular, the team as a whole intelligently exploited the recent amendment to the offside rule, such that a player was on-side if two, rather than the previous three, opponents were ahead of him. the half backs were strong defensively and constructive in their use of the ball, and the full backs were "capable spoilers". the amateurs were the better side all over the field; "c.h.c.", writing in the "daily mirror", called them "as fine an amateur side as we have seen for some seasons. there was an abandon, a joie de vivre about their football that we would like to see in more matches." in the evening, the football association hosted a dinner at frascati's restaurant in oxford street in honour of their australian touring team, at which medals were presented to the tourists, many of whom had played in the afternoon's match, and to the winners of the charity shield. speeches were made by charles clegg, president of the association, and others. the football association were using the match as a trial for the forthcoming full international against wales, and three members of the amateur team were selected for the england team: howard baker in goal, george armitage at centre half, and ashton at centre forward. the attendance, "falling short of 5,000", was labelled "disappointing" by the "daily express". from the proceeds of the match, the football association donated £50 each to the institute of journalists orphan's fund, the royal surgical aid society, the london lock hospital and sheffield royal infirmary. the balance, of £91 17s, went to the national institute for the blind. the next season's charity shield also pitted amateurs against professionals. the amateurs again scored six goals, and macey again scored twice. joão inácio müller, ofm (born

pfullendorf were promoted from the oberliga, replacing 1. fc magdeburg, fortuna düsseldorf, fortuna köln, vfr mannheim, vfb stuttgart (a), spvgg ansbach and borussia fulda. five teams were due to be relegated, but stuttgarter kickers and sportfreunde siegen were reprieved because two of the relegated teams from the 2. bundesliga, ssv reutlingen and sv waldhof mannheim, could not achieve a regionalliga license, and dropped another level, to the oberliga. the department of industry, technology and regional development was an australian government department that existed between march 1993 and march 1994. information about the department's functions and/or government funding allocation could be found in the administrative arrangements orders, the annual portfolio budget statements and in the department's annual reports. according to the administrative arrangements order (aao) made on 24 march 1993, the department dealt with: the department was an australian public service department, staffed by officials who were responsible to the minister for industry, technology and regional development. the ministers were alan griffiths (until 23 january 1994) and then peter cook (from 30 january 1994). the ministers were assisted in the role by a parliamentary secretary, ted lindsay. from 24 march 1993 to 19 december 1993, the secretary of the department was neville stevens; from 20 december 1993 to 25 march 1994, the secretary was sandy hollway. european university information systems (eunis) was created in 1993. following an organisation for economic co-operation and development (oecd) study and seminar in 1993 on "impact of information technology on higher education", a first meeting was held in amsterdam considering the value of a european organization. the actual founding meeting took place in paris. it was attended by scholars from eight countries: belgium (bruno paternostre), denmark (ole carsten pedersen), finland (kristel sarlin, pentti korhonen), france (yves epelboin), germany (jan von knop), ireland (john moriarty), the netherlands (chris hendriks) and the united kingdom (mike collin, john heap, robin mcdonough). the organisation holds several events: an annual congress and a rectors conference. the 1926 fa charity shield was the thirteenth staging of the fa charity shield, an annual :association football match arranged to raise funds for charitable causes supported by the football association (the fa), the governing body of football in england. for the fifth time, the match was contested by select teams of amateur and professional players. it was played on 6 october 1926 at maine road, manchester, and ended as a 6–3 win for the amateurs. wilfred minter and frank macey each scored twice, edgar kail once, and an own goal by michael keeping completed the amateurs' scoring; bill rawlings scored twice and fred tunstall scored once for the professionals. the match was to be played at maine road, the home ground of manchester city f.c., alongside the exhibitions and other entertainments of the city of manchester's civic week. the composition of the teams was selected by the international selection committee of the football association. the professionals were chosen from among those who had taken part in the football association xi's tour of canada from may to july 1926. the teams lined up as originally selected, with two exceptions. clifford tarr replaced the injured richard jenkins of polytechnic at outside right, and corporal cartlidge was a late replacement for northern nomads's dr fairbrother at wing half. the amateurs included six of the men who had beaten the professionals by six goals to one in the corresponding fixture in 1925; the professionals included five full england internationals. the match began with a fine exhibition of passing by the amateurs, but six minutes into the game david jack fed bill rawlings who scored from close range to give the professionals the lead. the lead was doubled in similar fashion after 24 minutes. rawlings had another two chances which he failed to take, and the professionals seemed to be in control of the game. with half an hour gone, the amateurs "added dash and determination to their pattern-work passing", and the tenor of the game changed dramatically. a neat pass from frank macey was touched over the line by edgar kail, and a couple of minutes later wilfred minter hooked home after some "brilliant interpassing" between macey and his left-wing partner walter bellamy. the score at the half-time interval remained 2–2. jack missed from close range just after half-time, after which the game became one-sided. macey scored after a clever passing move, and doubled the amateurs' lead when he volleyed tommy gale's punched clearance straight back past him "with surprising pace" from . macey had also scored twice in the 1925 fa charity shield match, when the amateurs beat the professionals by six goals to one. minter collected a through ball and scored his second and his team's fifth off the inside of the post, and the last came when, under pressure from macey, michael keeping overhit a back-pass to his goalkeeper. fred tunstall scored in the last minute for the professionals, and the match ended 6–3. medals were presented to both teams by the lord mayor of manchester, councillor miles e. mitchell. the "manchester guardian" was disappointed with the professionals, whose forwards could not finish, whose creative players were ineffective, and whose defensive players were not up to the standard of their amateur counterparts and failed to communicate with their goalkeeper. in contrast, bellamy crossed well, and the "indefatigable" macey "set an example to every player on the field in the matter of shooting." they were well supported by a "hard-working set of half-backs, who stood on no ceremony, and persisted in their tackling with the relish and vigour of terriers", bryant in particular, whose play both defensive and constructive impressed, "and [whose] ground passing was something of a model", and by a confident pair of full backs in e.h. gates and frank twine. bryant wrote some years later that macey "gave the finest exposition of inside forward play i have ever seen, and quite overshadowed the more famous bolton wanderers' inside forwards, david jack and joe smith." the result of the match was so unexpected that it found a place in a 1999 compilation of "football's strangest matches". the attendance was disappointing – "no more than 1,500", according to the "times", and the "guardian" called it very poor – and for the 1927 fixture, the football association reverted to a match between two club teams. the receipts from the match, of £181, were donated to the ypres memorial church building fund. mark hannebery (born 8 october 1957) is a former australian rules footballer who played with collingwood and essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). hannebery,

december 1954) is a brazilian roman catholic bishop. ordained to the priesthood on 2 september 1984, kohl was named bishop of the roman catholic diocese of osório, brazil on 15 november 2006. sister virginia maria (born marianna de leyva y marino; december 4, 1575 – january 17, 1650) was an italian nun. she gave birth to two children fathered by a local aristocrat, and had connived in the murder of another nun in order to cover up the affair. this took place in monza, in northern italy, at the beginning of the 17th century. following this scandal she became widely known as the nun of monza. her life inspired one of the characters in alessandro manzoni's novel "the betrothed", which has also been dramatized several times. marianna de leyva y marino was born in milan, italy, on december 4, 1575. she was the daughter of martìno de leyva and virginia maria marino, widow of ercole pio count of sassuolo, and great granddaughter of antonio de leyva, who has inherited the title of county by charles v. virginia was the daughter and direct heir of one of the richest men in milan, the banker tommaso marino. martìno had inherited the county of monza as the great nephew of antonio de leyva, a spaniard who became a notorious commander in italy at the service of charles v, who gave him the fiefdom of monza, with its related and substantial incomes. martino was the second son of luis de leyva, prince of ascoli, who was an army captain and first spanish governor of milan.after the death of her mother virginia in 1576, the infant marianna was entered into a long trial for her inheritance, which was eventually not resolved in her favor. her mother wanted to give half of her possessions to marianna and the other half to her first son, marco pio, who was her child from an earlier marriage. her will was contested by marco pio's sisters, who had been left nothing. marianna lived with her aunts until 1588. she was 13 years and 3 months old when her father forced her to become a nun in the monastery saint margherita. the monastery was placed in "spalto di porta de’ grandi", also known as via "azzone visconti". this monastery could only be accessed through a small street, which today is called "via della signora". march 15, 1589 was the last time that don martino de levya saw his daughter. her father said he would leave her the inheritance of 6.000 lire, to be given to her by giuseppe limiato. the truth was that limiato never received the money. historical witnesses have confirmed she did receive income from the yearly revenues for being a nun. on august 26, 1591, the archbishop witnessed four newly arrived sisters consecrate themselves: sister virginia maria, sister benedetta felice, sister teodora da seveso and sister ottavia caterina ricci. on september 26, 1591 marianna became sister virginia maria. before the scandal which made her notorious, contemporary writer ripamonti described her as "modest", "respectful", and "obedient". he also records that she befriended everyone easily, and enjoyed reading as much as possible. she gained popularity in monza in this period. for example, on may 20, 1594 the writer bartolomeo zucchi sent her a letter in which he praised her for her choice of becoming a nun. the scandal was caused by her love affair with the count giovanni paolo osio, who had previously been accused of murder. in 1597 marianna was a teacher at the convent's school for girls. during this period she met osio, who lived in a house next to the monastery. though a nun, marianna was both rich and powerful: from a wealthy family, she also administered property revenues in monza and was involved in administering justice. she started to exchange letters with osio, delivered to his garden through a rope lowered from a window. the liaison was facilitated by the use of counterfeit keys provided by a blacksmith. the meetings between them were frequent and were organized with the complicity of other nuns and a priest named paolo arrigone, a close friend of osio. in 1602 marianna gave birth to an illegitimate stillborn baby. after this, the relationship with osio temporarily ended. despite this, after a while the affair restarted, although the lovers' meetings were less frequent. in autumn 1603 sister virginia got pregnant for the second time, and gave birth to a girl. the child was named alma francesca margherita. she subsequently lived with the father, count osio, who legally acknowledged her as his illegitimate daughter two years later in 1605. in the summer of 1606, one of the nuns at the convent threatened to expose the relationship. as a consequence of this threat, osio killed her in order to avoid the spreading of the story. this murder apparently took place with the complicity of both sister virginia and other nuns. sister virginia threatened all the nuns complicit in the murder that they would suffer the same fate if they revealed the crime. the murder remained secret because outsiders were told that the murdered lay sister had run off. in the autumn of 1606, however, rumors about the activities at the convent became more frequent. the blacksmith who had counterfeited the keys was also killed by osio. these facts came to the ears of the governor of milan. on carnival day of 1607 osio was arrested and imprisoned in pavia. he subsequently escaped and was later given a death sentence "in absentia". he was eventually murdered by an alleged friend. when the archbishop federico borromeo came to know about the scandal he ordered a canonical trial of the nun. the trial of sister virginia started on november 27, 1607 and she was interrogated by vicar gerolamo saracino. marianna defended herself by claiming loss of free-will, asserting that diabolic forces had exercised on her an irresistible impulse. from november 19 until march 27, 1608 the interrogation of the priest paolo arrigone took place. on may 22, 1608 the interrogation restarted again and this time torture was used. on june 14 sister virginia was interrogated. she confirmed, under physical torment, the accusations against arrigone. even his doorman and his wife were exposed to torture in order to confirm the accusations against him. it must be noted that "exposed" means being shown the instruments of torture so it does not necessarily mean being tortured. in the verdict, on october 18, 1608, sister virginia was sentenced to be walled-in for 13 years in the home of santa valeria. after surviving this period of incarceration, she lived there until her death in 1650. her continued renown is mostly credited to the novel "the betrothed" (orig. italian: "i promessi sposi", 1827), generally ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. she appears in chapters ix, x, xviii, xx and xxvii under the name "gertrude". her portrait is one of the longest and most detailed of the whole novel; it deals with her previous life, her difficult relationship with her family, her initial rejection for religious life, and the strength and the cruelty of her father which finally forced her to live as a nun. it is a romanticized account, but based on virginia de leyva's character. it is described through a "flashbacks" technique, along with particular combinations of nouns and adjectives which suggests a hidden anguished secret in the nun's previous life. through her back-story we learn that her religious vows didn't stop her physical urges, and she had a relationship with an evil aristocrat, egidio, who pushed her to become his accomplice in the murder of a nun: this is her tormenting secret. the principal female characters, agnese and lucia, meet gertrude (the nun of monza) while escaping from the villain don rodrigo. they shelter in her convent, looking for hospitality. gertrude becomes close to lucia. egidio asks her to help him to kidnap lucia on behalf of the bandit "innominato", who is working for rodrigo. she at first refuses, then gives in, and later confesses her crimes. her decision is difficult for her, emphasizing manzoni's view of her as a weak tool of evil, unable to resist threats and temptations, but basically not cruel. later in the novel, at the end of chapter 37, lucia learns of gertrude's repentance, confession of guilt, and consequent sentence. the life of sister virginia maria has been popularized in many films, most of which are examples of the nunsploitation subgenre. frank macey (24 october 1894 – 3 december 1973) was an english amateur footballer who played as a forward. he spent 15 years in the army, and was a prisoner of war for almost the entirety of the first world war. while still a serving soldier, in 1923, he joined kingstonian f.c. he signed amateur forms with football league club plymouth argyle, but played only one competitive match for them before returning to kingstonian, for whom he played until retiring from the game in 1936. during that time, he captained the club to victory in the 1933 amateur cup, was capped four times for the england amateur xi, and scored twice in each match as the amateurs beat the professionals 6–1 in the 1925 fa charity shield and 6–3 in the 1926 match. macey was born in 1894, and joined the royal fusiliers when he was 15. he was captured early in the first world war, and spent most of the conflict as a prisoner of war. on his release, he acted as an interpreter for german prisoners of war in england, and after further tours of duty abroad, he returned to the middlesex area. after leaving the army, he worked for the electricity company in kingston, surrey, as a meter inspector. macey died in westminster hospital on 3 december 1973, at the age of 79, and was buried in kingston cemetery. while a serving soldier, he played for the army xi in inter-service competition, as well as in friendly matches against club sides and against other countries' military teams. in 1923, he was selected for an army xi that took on aston villa; although his team lost heavily, the "manchester guardian" wrote that "macey was the 'star' of the army team. he has a real gift for the game, trapping the ball like a master, feeding his wings well, and generally revealing unmistakable 'class' in all he does." they did, however, question whether his lack of height might make him better suited to wing- rather than centre-forward play. a few months later, he scored twice and set up a third as the army xi beat the french army in paris by three goals to one, as part of an international triangular tournament. macey joined athenian league club kingstonian in 1923, while still in the army. his goals contributed to their winning the athenian league title in 1924 and also attracted the attention of professional clubs. football league first division club everton received permission in february 1926 from the then corporal macey's commanding officer to make an approach, the club secretary reported that he had already signed for plymouth argyle. he played only once for argyle, in a third division south match against reading on 27 february, before returning to kingstonian. it was reported that "the game did not enamour him with football in professional circles". he helped kingstonian win the athenian league title again in 1926, and scored as the club drew 2–2 with an athenian league select eleven. there was more to his game than goalscoring. his "clever constructive work" was noted in a 3–0 defeat of barking, and he "was, perhaps, the outstanding player in a skilful side" as kingstonian won 4–1 at cheshunt. he scored the opening goal in the london charity cup final in 1929, but in a losing cause, as dulwich hamlet came back to win 2–1 after extra time. according to the "daily express" of march 1931, writing about kingstonian's match against leyton in the london senior cup: kingstonian went on to the final of the competition, but macey missed what the "express" reporter called two easy chances as 10,000 spectators saw wimbledon win by the only goal of the game. kingstonian reached the semifinal of the 1932 amateur cup, losing by a single goal to dulwich hamlet at selhurst park in front of a crowd of 27,840, then a record for an amateur cup match. "the outstanding player on the field was the diminutive veteran international, f.e. macey, who played a great game in spite of the near approach of his fortieth birthday." in the next year's amateur cup, macey turned an even game against leyton with two goals in two minutes, first lobbing the goalkeeper and then converting a cross from the right wing. in the fourth round, macey, "playing exceptionally well", scored kingstonian's first two goals as they eliminated dulwich hamlet 4–2. in contrast, "apart from the half-backs on each side, no one played up to expectations" in the final, against stockton on a hard pitch at champion hill, dulwich, which finished as a 1–1 draw and was further spoilt by a stockton player being knocked unconscious by a kick to the head. the match was replayed at feethams, darlington, a venue more convenient for stockton's players. again, stockton lost a player to injury; right-back thompson broke his leg with his team one goal ahead, and kingstonian went on to win by four goals to one. as team captain, macey was presented with the trophy by sir charles clegg, president of the football association. his team returned to a civic welcome, a band to play them into the town, and more than 20,000 people lining the streets. writing in his "daily mirror" column at the start of the 1933–34 season, former england international billy bryant suggested that macey "looks like going on for ever". in november, he scored twice as kingstonian reached the london cup final at leyton's expense, in that season's fa cup, macey found himself "trying to fill both right half and inside right positions at the same time", after kingstonian lost both wing halves to injury and lost 7–1 to league club bristol city, and in the amateur cup, he was himself one of several players injured as wimbledon enjoyed a comfortable win. he announced his retirement at the end of that season, but returned in november 1934 to assist his former club against leyton in the fa cup. "he showed much of his old form", but that was not enough to prevent kingstonian losing 2–0. he finally retired in 1936, after what kingstonian's website calls "13 years of magnificent service", and () remains their second-highest goalscorer. macey made frequent appearances in representative matches at various levels, for league, county or football association elevens. while with kingstonian, as captain of the athenian league xi, he scored twice and "played an inspired and inspiring game" as they beat the isthmian league 7–1 in 1926 (though the nominally superior isthmians were reduced to ten fit men an at early stage of the game). in 1929, he was noted as playing "particularly well" for the isthmian league eleven in their annual fixture against corinthians, despite the league losing 5–0. macey represented both middlesex and surrey counties at various times in his career, and scored twice as the london association beat a cologne fieldsports touring team in 1929: he "was always on the alert to seize a chance to score, and he was quick and accurate in passing". in 1927, he represented london's amateurs against the professionals in the football association's annual match for the lord kinnaird memorial fund. among numerous other selections, he played for fa elevens against cambridge university, against norfolk in a match celebrating that county association's jubilee, and against the army. between 1923 and 1926, the football association decided that the fa charity shield should be contested not by club sides but by teams of amateur and professional players. macey was selected for the amateur eleven in three of those four matches. in 1923, his team lost 2–0 to the professionals. according to the "manchester guardian", "drummer macey, though very smart and quick, was overshadowed by g. wilson." he was selected again for the 1925 match, to oppose a professional eleven chosen from among those players recently returned from an fa tour of australia. the amateurs won 6–1, macey scored twice, and although he "looked a midget by contrast with the opposing defenders", the way he scored his second goal "with both spencer and charlton trying to worry him off the ball was typical of his work throughout". "the times" reporter wrote that "macey, the little army forward who is always so enormously popular with the spectators, scored two goals, and, but for almost uncanny anticipation on the part of hardy, should have scored two more. macey played the best game of his life in such good football, and his quick dashes to the right place to take the forward pass from his centre were examples of fine opportunities quickly realised." he kept his place for the 1926 match, again opposing a team of fa tourists, returning this time from canada. the amateurs won 6–3, and the "daily mirror" reported that "no one did more to influence the result than macey, the diminutive inside left of the kingstonian club. he 'made' the first goal and later scored twice, his second goal being the result of one of the most wonderful shots ever seen on the city enclosure – from fully thirty yards' range". billy bryant, who played in the match, wrote several years later that macey "gave the finest exposition of inside forward play i have ever seen, and quite overshadowed the more famous bolton wanderers' inside forwards, david jack and joe smith." macey made his debut for the england amateur team against ireland at selhurst park in november 1923. he scored the opening goal from a pass by graham doggart, as england won 3–0, but was too often given offside. the "irish times" wrote that macey's "zeal was a tonic in itself", but attributed england's low score as "probably due to the over anxiety of macey, who, while giving much entertainment to the crowd, was rather disappointing in front of the net." he received his next call-up for the england amateur xi two years later, again for a match against ireland, this time at maidstone. he and left-wing partner walter bellamy, making his england debut, "did some very attractive things" as claude ashton scored four goals and england won 6–4. playing against ireland for a third time, in belfast in november 1926, he scored a tap-in in a 3–0 win. he, edgar kail and vivian gibbins "did splendid work" in "a well-balanced forward line", according to the "daily express". he lost his place for the match against scotland in december, to cambridge university's r.g.h. lowe; according to the "daily mirror", lowe "must have come on a lot to be considered good enough to displace" him. he regained it for the 1928 visit to belfast. in a poor match, won 2–0 by england, "only jenkins and macey in the english attack lived up to their reputations", but both lost their places for the next match. he was twice a travelling reserve in 1931, released from the second selection to play in a cup match for his club, but never again played international football. aljaž cotman (born 26 april 1994) is a slovenian football goalkeeper who plays for maribor. he was also a member of the slovenian youth national teams. cotman started his career in his hometown club triglav from kranj. he joined the youth ranks of english premier league side wolverhampton wanderers in 2010, signing a professional deal in 2012. however, he did not make an appearance for the senior team before his contract expired and he returned to his homeland. on 21 october 2013, he joined the slovenian champions maribor. he made his maribor debut in a cup match against šenčur on 13 november 2013, where his team won the game 5–2. he made his fully professional debut in the slovenian prvaliga on 17 may 2014 in a match against gorica. cotman was capped for slovenia at all youth levels from u15 to u21. look upon a star was an american live television series, hosted by bess myerson and produced by joseph cates. the series aired on two dumont television network stations, wabd and wttg, during 1947. the show also aired on wrgb-tv, the general electric tv station in schenectady, new york. the show featured high school students, was one of television's earliest talent series, and was a 30-minute series broadcast on tuesdays at 7:30pm et. the comet candy company was the sponsor. "look upon a star" replaced "highway to the stars" (august to october 1947), and was itself replaced by "camera headlines" in january 1948. according to the november 1, 1947, edition of newspaper "the afro american", an episode in which an african-american male and a white female, both members of the katherine dunham dance troupe, appeared on "look upon a star". the couple performed a dance together on the show, which created a controversy, with more than 100 objecting letters being sent in. in response, joseph cates, one of the producers of the series, was quoted as saying "as producers we exercise the democratic privilege of producing our own shows as we see fit. the prejudiced television viewer can exercise his democratic privilege of switching his dial off or to a different station". as with most dumont series, no episodes are known to survive. the 1966–68 liga alef season saw hapoel kfar saba (champions of the north division) and beitar jerusalem (champions of the south division) win the title and promotion to liga leumit. development and educational communication unit is an arm of indian space research organisation which aims at planning and imparting training the personnel for usage of satellite based communication systems for societal needs. the main objective of the organisation is to plan and envisage satellite usage for the general population in domains such as education and medicine, as well as many others. established in 1989, the development and educational communication unit of isro has been involved in societal research with the objective of bringing india's indigenously developed space technology back to the people of rural india. the space applications centre, ahmedabad provides the necessary technical support to the unit. between 1975 and 1990, this unit implemented the kheda communications project in the kheda village of gujarat to bring satellite-based communication to the village residents. this project would go on to receive the ipdc-unesco prize for rural communication. started in 1975, kcp was india's first rural communication project. kcp aimed at providing television broadcasting and allied communication services to the targeted rural areas. kcp was a joint collaboration between the government of india, the united states government and the united nations. the united nations development program (undp) donated low cost transmitters and satellite earth stations to this project. about 650 television sets were distributed to nearly 400 villages in this project. the project received the 1985 ipdc-unesco prize for rural communication. the project was subsequently taken as a reference for implementation of the gramsat pilot project. jhabua development communications project had evolved out from kheda communication projects. watershed management, health, education and panchayati raj are the mission purpose of this project. the jdcp has 2 components: jdcp along with the kheda and edusat have proven to be successful means to communicate to the remote areas of the country and to provide them an information medium at a reasonably cost. decu supported the implementation of the edusat project by installing devices for audio-video data transmission. edusat is the flagship project of the department of science and technology (india) which aims at providing education to the masses by using a satellite-based transmission system. the women's 200 metre individual medley competition of the swimming events at the 1999 pan american games took place on 6 august at the pan am pool. the last pan

this corporation consists of calzedonia, intimissimi, tezenis, falconeri, signorvino, atelier emé and cash & carry. according to the forbes list of billionaires, sandro veronesi is one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of over one billion dollars. his net worth in 2013 was estimated at $1.8 billion. veronesi was born in ala, trento, italy, in 1959. he gained his high school diploma from liceo ‘galileo galilei’ and he graduated 'cum laude' in 1983 in economics and business in verona. on completion of his degree, he began work at the golden lady spa, an italian company leader in the production of pantyhose, founded by nerino grassi. sandro veronesi married nadia grassi, one of the two daughters of nerino grassi. nadia veronesi is also one of the main shareholders of calzedonia group (with a 15% share). veronesi was added to the forbes billionaires list in 2013. he is the founder of the calzedonia group, an italian company that sells lingerie, stockings and swimsuits through its calzedonia, intimissimi and tezenis brands. it also has a majority position in falconeri, an italian clothing company known for its cashmere knitwear. veronesi's first job after graduating from the university of verona was with golden lady, an italian hosiery company. he started calzedonia in 1987 while still working at golden lady. the company originally focused on tights and stockings. in the mid-1990s it diversified to include the lingerie and underwear sectors. in 2013 there were more than 3,000 calzedonia stores throughout europe and the middle east. after university, sandro veronesi began to work in 1984 at golden lady spa, the company of pantyhose founded by nerino grassi. in 1987, when he was only 27 years old, he founded calzedonia spa, while he was still working in golden lady as a general manager. in 1993 the partnership between the two entrepreneurs broke and he decided to dedicate exclusively to his own calzedonia, focusing on the objective of producing and selling high quality products at a fair price. in 1996 calzedonia group expanded with intimissimi ( underwear for women and men) with 481 million in revenues (+8%) and in 2003 with tezenis (underwear for the whole family) with 401 million in revenues (+25%). in 2009 calzedonia group acquired the majority share in falconeri (knitwear and cashmere). sandro veronesi is also the

in 1998 to €1,295 million in 2011. the organization adopted by the entrepreneur originally from trento is verticalised: it goes from the head to the distribution in single-brand stores through a concentrated production to countries where labor is cheap. the group has four production subsidiaries in sri lanka, where it produces the bulk of the production of lingerie, two in croatia, one in romania, one in bulgaria, one in serbia. this is in addition to three historic sites in italy. the hotel "la torre", within the business group calzedonia, is a luxury hotel complex created initially

veronesi launched the signorvino chain of wine bars, with the intention of transferring know-how from his experiences in the textile industry. this includes developing the same type of organization and a centralized warehouse management (in verona). veronesi created the foundation san zeno in 1999 through which a part of calzedonia profit is reinvested in education, training and work for those who are in need and cannot afford it. furthermore, is a counselor for the advisory committee of assofranchising. george samuel ford (1790–1868) was a bill discounter (money lender) and solicitor who took interest in the financial affairs of many gentlemen of the period including the lords lichfield, chesterfield, suffield and the count d'orsay. a passionate follower of the turf, he was known in horseracing circles as "lawyer ford". ford's offices were at 8 henrietta street, covent garden, london; his residential properties were in stratton street, london and brunswick square, brighton. he was born in st clement danes, london, and in 1816 married hanna bramah (1795–1862) at st george's, hanover square, daughter of civil engineer joseph bramah. their children included sir theodore thomas ford, who became chief justice for the straits settlements, horace alfred ford, one of the greatest target archers of all time, and william augustus ford, who followed ford into the business and was a cricketer who played for the mcc. ford's grandchildren included francis ford, a good cricketer who played for his country, lionel ford who became headmaster of harrow and the painter henry justice ford. ford kept horseracing stables and a stud in newmarket and had interests in epsom. in 1844 the affairs of james gibbs, attorney of jermyn street, came under public scrutiny. he had been acting as a money scrivener, investing clients' money in worthless schemes, or using the money to bolster his failing business. over a period of 20 years he slipped deeper into debt and borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates to avoid insolvency. gibbs was eventually forced into bankruptcy, and this resulted in public exposure of the bill discounters' activities – including those of ford. he had been dealing with gibbs for many years and lending at rates of 25%, although his rates were not the highest as others were charging up to 60%. charles hallowell hallowell carew, came into contact with ford through his association with horse racing. ford's attendance at the track made him an easy point of contact for those who had suffered losses in the betting market. in 1851 ford lent carew of beddington park £2,000 on the security of a note and warrant of attorney. this was followed by a further £3,000 in exchange for a bill of sale for his furniture and horses. when ford attempted to collect these assets he discovered that they had already been seized by other creditors. court cases ensued and carew agreed to ford managing his financial affairs. in 1856 carew signed away all rights to his beddington park properties to new owners, one of whom was ford's son william augustus. the property had been in the carew family for some 500 years. lord huntingtower was a "client" of ford who faced financial difficulties. huntingtower borrowed large sums of money during his minority and was unable to meet the repayments. at this period bankruptcy laws applied only to traders, whereas non-traders in debt were classed as insolvent, subject to imprisonment and seizure of their belongings. to avoid this happening, lord huntingtower claimed he was a trader. ford, who was a creditor, disputed this and brought a case to annul the fiat, but lost this on a technicality. huntingtower did spent a period in debtors' prison, but admitted at a later bankruptcy hearing (9 august 1844) that if he had acted on ford's advice earlier, he would not have been placed in such an unfortunate position. lord brownlow thomas montagu cecil (2nd son of the marquis of exeter) was another of ford's clients to end up in jail for debt. he had applied to ford for a loan during his minority, but ford would not agree to this without a promissory note from his father the marquis. however, ford did lend a lower sum but cecil left the country without honouring his debts. when he returned in 1854 he was arrested. cecil applied to be discharged from custody and at the end of the hearing ford removed his objection so that cecil could be released. in later life colonel lord brownlow thomas montagu cecil was again subject of insolvency proceedings in 1894. sir robert juckes clifton: before he came of age in 1847, his gambling and horse racing activities placed him in debt to ford and, like cecil, was forced to live abroad. when he came of age he returned to england and ford sued for his money. clifton's father applied for an injunction against ford but lost the case, however, the judge had little sympathy for ford saying: "if a man would assist a boy of 19 or 20 to run extravagantly into debt, it was to be wished he would lose his money" sir simeon stuart borrowed money from ford against his property. however, unbeknown to ford, sir simeon had made a separate arrangement on this property at an earlier date. ford went to the courts claiming he had precedence over this earlier arrangement but lost the case. sir massy stanley: on another occasion, ford was delivering a cash loan to sir massy stanley at an ascot race meeting, when he was robbed of a reported £7000 by a pickpocket. by using underworld connections he was able to recover some of the money but had to pay a substantial "reward" to the villains. during cross examination in the lord huntingtower case, ford admitted that he had been tried and found guilty of extorting money in 1832. this referred to a case where he and the keeper of a gaming house, john aldridge, allegedly attempted to obtain money from a person they said had forged a cheque. the case subsequently went to appeal and the ruling was overturned. ford also admitted under oath that he had been declared bankrupt when younger, but had quickly paid off his debts. in 1842 ford became the owner of bryndu colliery, glamorgan, after the owner, charles o'neill, became bankrupt owing him £6,000. ford set up a partnership with 2 of his sons – william augustus ford and horace alfred ford – to run the colliery. the partnership was dissolved in july 1858 following an explosion in the pit that killed 12 miners. there had been a previous explosion in 1853 when 4 miners had been killed. ford was passionately fond of horse racing and owned a stable and stud in newmarket. in 1841 he was also the owner of a newmarket property called fidget hall, a stud farm just beyond bury hill that was later renamed moulton paddocks. his big wins included the oaks stakes in 1843 with "poison" and the coronation stakes with "guaracha" in 1846. some of the horses he sold on from his stable had later success including "the hermit" (1851) by "bay middleton" out of "jenny lind". ford acquired several of lord chesterfield's horses in 1850, and immediately put these up for sale including "lady evelyn" by "don john", (winner of the oaks 1849), and "mrs taft", a future cesarewitch handicap winner. ford was similar in appearance to one of the famous politicians of the time – sir james graham. the similarity was such in stature, countenance, expression, and cock of the hat, that lord derby once said they were so alike that they ""might be driven in a curricle"". the women's 400 metre individual medley competition of the swimming events at the 1999 pan american games took place on 2 august at the pan am pool. the last pan american games champion was joanne malar of canada. this race consisted of eight lengths of the pool. the first two lengths were swum using the butterfly stroke, the second pair with the backstroke, the third pair of lengths in breaststroke, and the final two were freestyle. all times are in minutes and seconds. the first round was held on august 2. the b final was held on august 2. the a final was held on august 2. the city of southampton swimming club is one of the major swimming club in the city of southampton, hampshire and is currently based at the quays swimming pool near west quay. the head coach is david terry. the club was founded in 1963 and was one of the earliest members of the uk's national swimming league. it celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in may 2014. the club has been national league winner on five occasions and regional division winner on fourteen. the club

shoes, handbags and belts. it was owned by u.s. leather in the late 1980s. operations were ceased by u.s. leather in 2000. the friends and family test was introduced into the english nhs in 2013. it is a single question survey which asks patients whether they would recommend the nhs service they have received to friends and family who need similar treatment or care. the friends and family question: “we would like you to think about your experience in the ward where you spent the most time during this stay. how likely are you to recommend our ward to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment? patients can answer as “extremely likely”; “likely”; “neither likely nor unlikely”; “unlikely”; “extremely unlikely”; or “don’t know”. the prime minister announced on 25 may 2012 that the friends and family test would be introduced across the nhs from april 2013. in october 2013 francis maude announced the test would be extended across the nhs and other public services, including further education, jobcentre plus and the national citizen service. publication of the first results in september 2013, based on small numbers of responses, brought complaints that the test was giving a false picture. there were also complaints about the methodology on the grounds that it is susceptible to too many uncontrolled variables for the result to be meaningful. in november 2013 iwantgreatcare formed a partnership with the nhs alliance to set up a service which allows patients to rate and review doctors, hospitals and gp practices, and provide the friends and family test which all gps will be required to provide from december 2014. by february 2015 it had grown into the biggest ever collection of patient opinion in any health service anywhere in the world. in july 2019 nhs england announced that the test would no longer be required in its present form. there will no longer be a mandatory question about whether the patient or service user would recommend the service from april 2020. the test has been criticised on a number of grounds. in february 2014 dr neil bacon, chief executive of iwantgreatcare, denounced the implementation of the test, in particular nhs england’s refusal to enforce standardisation of methodology to ensure the data could be trusted and truly competitive. research for the care quality commission carried out by the picker institute in 2012 concluded that the test was “not appropriate for use in an nhs setting”. one of the aims of the test is said to be to help patients make informed choices about healthcare providers (though many patients are in no position to make such a choice) and providers are given a rating score on the nhs choices website. however no explanation is provided about what this rating means. when tested on a group of undergraduate students none were able to accurately understand the meaning of the test headline score. in july 2014 it was announced that from april 2015 nhs trusts must collect free text comments from patients and collect demographic variables alongside the test data. from december 2014 the test was rolled out to gp practices, and from january 2015, to mental health and community services. the number of responses collect by practices are small. in october 2015 5890 practices collected a total of 181,774 responses from patients - about one patient each day in each practice. results for each practice can vary wildly from month to month, making the scores very unreliable. the guardian published an account from a patient who had suffered a miscarriage and described the use of text messaging in respect of the test as "crass and inappropriate". angelo frattini (10 november 1910 – 2 september 1975) was an italian sculptor from varese. he studied at brera academy and his first contacts with sculptural art were influenced by scapigliatura's teachings. he also exhibited his works in new york city and washington dc, where he was received by president lyndon johnson. angelo frattini died in varese on september 2, 1975. in 1978 the artistic lyceum of his hometown was named after him. born in varese on november 10, 1910, angelo frattini became an orphan at the age of 9. his artistic formation took place initially in naples and subsequently in milan. frattini served his italian military service in naples, where he attended giovanni de martino's evening classes and got to know gemito's sculpture. in naples he also frequented the galleria d’arte moderna and the national archeological museum. for most of his youth he was self-taught, and was influenced by the end of ‘800’s art. in 1925 he was a student of giuseppe motta’s evening class and with his friend flaminio bertoni carved some small low reliefs at campo dei fiori. when he went back to milan in 1931 he studied at the artistic lyceum and then at the academy of brera, where he attended francesco messina’s class. varese was the background-city for his artistic growth from the 1930s. in 1934 he married maria gervasini, who gave birth the next year to their first son, gianluigi. his first contact with the art of sculpture follows giuseppe grandi and the scapigliatura’s teachings. he shared his contemporaneity with friends who were poets, writers, painters, sculptors and actors such as piero chiara, vittorio sereni, giuseppe montanari, aldo patocchi, luciano ferriani, paolo conti, aldo carpi, renato guttuso and gianni santuccio. widowed since 1953, in 1961 he married magda lazzari, mother of his third daughter, born in 1963. angelo frattini died in varese, while the first anthological exhibition at villa mirabello was getting prepared. in 1937 he received several awards: he won i littoriali for the sculpture in rome, at the campidoglio was rewarded for the orfana, work bought by the galleria d’arte moderna of milan, and won the contest to make the big relief on the palace of corporation in piazza monte grappa in varese. in 1937 was also born his second son, vittore, who subsequently followed his father’s steps in becoming an artist. in the same year frattini received the i premio of sculpture award in naples, and in milan in 1954 he received the i premio awards for portraits. in 1965 frattini was the artistic spokesperson for italy in new york and in washington, where he was received by the president of the united states lyndon johnson, in the collective "mostra degli artisti italiani". in 1938 he had a major exhibition at the galleria ferrari of milan, reference point for his whole career, and at the biennale internazionale d’arte of venice. he had further exhibitions in venice in 1940 and in 1942. in 1946 he sculptured the portrait of king umberto ii di savoia. he also had major exhibitions of his work at the permanente of milan and at other national exhibitions such as the quadriennale d’arte of torino in 1955 and the quadriennale of rome the following year. in 1978 the artistic lyceum of varese was named after him. the city of varese has undertaken several exhibitions to commemorate the work and life of frattini. these have included, in 1999, the provincia di vareses's homage. these have included: dominik daxlberger (born 7 february 1993 in rosenheim) is a german professional ice hockey player. he currently plays for düsseldorfer eg in the "deutsche eishockey liga" (german ice hockey league). tyranna resources is an australian listed mineral exploration company. it was formed in 2015 by the merger of ironclad mining limited and its major shareholder, trafford resources limited. ironclad mining's major focus was iron ore exploration at the wilcherry hill iron project in south australia. the company was listed on the australian stock exchange on 11 july 2007. trafford resources limited was the company's most substantial shareholder. ironclad mining's head office was in adelaide. tyranna resources' registered office is in perth. at the end of 2014, ironclad mining announced a merger with its largest shareholder trafford resources through a scheme of arrangement in which ironclad bought all of the shares in trafford. the merger took effect in may 2015 and the combined entity was renamed tyranna resources. following the merger, the focus of the combined company moved from wilcherry hill to exploration prospects near the challenger mine. the wilcherry hill mine has received state and federal mine development approvals, but is yet to secure its export pathway. the company initially considered exporting its iron ore via port adelaide by road freighting it firstly to a standard gauge rail siding at whyalla. the company later abandoned the idea in favor of a plan to expand the existing passenger ferry harbor at lucky bay to facilitate iron ore exports. jari neugebauer (born 21 october 1994 in berlin) is a german professional ice hockey player. he currently plays for düsseldorfer eg in the "deutsche eishockey liga" (german ice hockey league). pfister & vogel (p&v) was an american

shut it down in 2000. their buildings have been readapted for residential use. the following is a list of episodes of the korean reality-variety television comedy series "infinite challenge" (). the show's regular run ended on march 31, 2018, after 563 episodes. it was followed by three special episodes that ended on april 21, 2018. season one of "infinite challenge" was called the rash challenge (무모한 도전). this season usually involved the members attempting to complete extreme challenges, such as racing against a train. there were 27 episodes that aired during season one. season two of "infinite challenge" was called the excessive challenge (무리한 도전) and season three was called infinite challenge-master of quiz (무한도전 퀴즈의달인). these seasons had challenges similar to season one, but also had solving quizzes and playing various games. 26 episodes were aired during seasons 2 and 3. this renewed version of the infinite challenge ("muhan dojeon", 무한도전) aired between may 6, 2006 and march 31, 2018. while the other seasons seemed to have some sort of theme, the fourth season had no overarching theme whatsoever, but rather a different theme every week. desulfosporomusa is a genus of sulfate-reducing bacteria. so far there is only one species of this genus known (desulfosporomusa polytropa). alexander preibisch (born 30 april 1991) is a german professional ice hockey player. he is currently an unrestricted free agent who most recently played for düsseldorfer eg in the deutsche eishockey liga (del). the wilcherry hill project was originally a proposed iron ore mine and associated infrastructure on eyre peninsula, south australia. it was proposed by ironclad mining ltd which later merged with trafford resources to become tyranna resources. as of 2018, the wilcherry project is a joint venture between alliance resources (67.35%) and tyranna resources (32.65%). the venture is exploring for economic concentrations of any of gold, tin, copper, zinc, lead, silver, iron, bismuth, tungsten and uranium. the mine site is located approximately 40 km north of kimba, on central eyre peninsula, south australia. the mine site access road will extend south from the mine site to the township of kimba. the project will consist of two mining stages: with a proposed full production rate of 2 million tonnes per annum and an identified resource of approximately 10 million tonnes, the projected operational life is anticipated to be five years. initially the ore was planned to be shipped from port adelaide via road, then rail freight. this plan has been abandoned in favour of exporting through lucky bay. the existing passenger ferry harbour there will require significant expansion to facilitate the transshipment of iron ore into panamax or small capesize vessels. in august 2014, ironclad announced that the company was considering selling direct-shipping ore from wilcherry hill to whyalla-based iron ore exporter, arrium. ironclad mining received federal environmental approval (with conditions) on 23 september 2011. conditions were set in response to the presence of two threatened species within the project area: the slender-billed thornbill and the malleefowl. barry besanko (born 15 august 1956) is a former australian sprinter and australian rules footballer who played with essendon in the victorian football league (vfl). besanko was a junior nationals hurdles champion and competed in many athletics events before joining essendon. in the australian track & field championships, his best performances included a second-place finish in the 100

arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. at least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exists (types i and ii, this enzyme) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. the type ii isoform encoded by this gene, is located in the mitochondria and expressed in extra-hepatic tissues, especially kidney. the physiologic role of this isoform is poorly understood; it is thought to play a role in nitric oxide and polyamine metabolism. transcript variants of the type ii gene resulting from the use of alternative polyadenylation sites have been described. jennifer estep is an american author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance novels under pocket books. she is most known for the mythos academy and elemental assassin series. in 2018 she began publication of her new "crown of shards" epic fantasy series with harper voyager. a solution brand is a very respected symbol-intensive brand that covers a wide range of consumer segments and/or product categories. solution brands generate auto-directed emotional benefits on the people who adopt them, such as reassurance or a comfortable sense of conformity. they typically hold a global leading position offering a wide range of products in very competitive and cluttered sectors, such as mitsubishi, microsoft, samsung, nestlé or mattel. often, these brands, were formerly authority brands that exploited their knowledge on different categories, like sony, or icon brands that extended their symbolic value on different customer segments, like levi’s. drupal-club (minsk) is an open-source community in belarus which promotes free software principles in society. during the 2010-2013 years, this club was an organizer of various social activities such as the drupal rally, the global learning drupal days, and regular sessions. drupal-club takes part in the implementation of some non-commercial projects and has formed a cooperative via the drupal association. a symbol-intensive brand is a brand adopted not only for its functional benefits, but above all, for the strong symbolism and significance that it is able to transmit, allowing a consumer to express his or her identity, to signal status or manifest a sense of belonging to a group. businesses might be based on three different types of knowledge: analytical; synthetic or symbolic. creative or cultural businesses, such as entertainment, publishing, design, or fashion, draw heavily on a symbolic knowledge base. they serve important symbolic functions such as capturing, refracting, and legitimating social knowledge and values. the essence of a brand or a product in these industries resides in its meaning for the consumer rather than in its function. the symbol-intensive brand definition has been firstly introduced by stefania saviolo and antonio marazza in the book ‘lifestyle brands – a guide to inspirational marketing’. analyzing a brand’s choices in terms of competitive scope (number of targets and categories served) and type of benefits provided to the customer, five classes of symbol-intensive brands are identified: symbol-intensive brands are able to maintain a relationship with their clients that goes beyond the usual brand loyalty. clients tend to become ambassadors, fans, champions, that find the brand fundamental or irreplaceable in their lives. researchers have noted superior economic and financial performances in brands capable of engaging people or influencing a social context proposing an original point of view. a cult brand is a symbol-intensive brand usually tied to a single customer segment or a specific product category. cult brands deliver a sense of belonging between people who share the same culture and passions. harley-davidson is a typical example of cult brand because they effectively express open roads culture, free spirit mythology, and connotations of hells angels’ machismo. these ideas amass a following of the company's brand. other cult brands, often characterized by exclusive owners clubs and intensive social activities, are ferrari, ducati, nautor swan, fender, cohiba, and breguet. cult brands fall into the category of benign cults which can be defined as a following where members are truly attached or intensely devoted to the product/service the brand provides. benign cults are not destructive and are welcoming of new members. in benign cults, human desires are fulfilled in a positive and unharmful way. a brand can be defined as a cult brand if the following factors are present: there are considered to be three stages of followers within a brand: there are certainly many advantages to inducting your own brand into cult-like status, some of which add to company image, whereas others simply boost sales and revenue across the board. well known advantages of having cult-like followers include perks such as: a loyal customer-base, low price sensitivity, improved competitiveness, and snowball advertising (thompson, scott a. and rajiv k. sinha, 2008). a loyal customer base means that through ‘thick and thin’, the consumer will stay by your side. a good example of this is when nike, although being found out for exploiting cheap child labour in the nike owned sweatshops, maintains a fanatical following from their loyal customer base. another advantage previously mentioned is low price sensitivity. this means that consumers aren’t as conscious as to the price they are paying for their worshipped brand's goods. the consumers are able to pay more in a guilt-free manner without the need to shop for a cheaper and/or better alternative i.e. an elastic demand. the third mentioned advantage was that of the ‘improved competitiveness’ category. this means that as a result of a fanatical, loyal following, consumers see no real competition or substitute for their chosen brand/s. linking back to low price sensitivity, consumers are willing to pay any price for the product and as a result, the companies do not partake in any sort of price war with competitors. the fourth and final mentioned advantage is ‘snowball advertising’. here snowball advertising means that loyal customers spread word of praise for their chosen brand/s. linking back to a “cultist recruitment stage” companies are able to let consumers broaden their demographic as people who hear positive word about a product are likely to go through at least one of the three cultist brand stages (thompson, scott a. and rajiv k. sinha, 2008). the following emerged as cult brands because the brands sell lifestyles, whilst focusing a great deal on their customers. harley-davidson sells more than just motorcycles, it sells a passion and a lifestyle. the emergence of the harley's ownership group or hog was an opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to share experiences and passion for the sport - a factor which turned them into a lifestyle brand. this cult brand is a textbook example of guerrilla marketing. harley-davidson benefited from word-of-mouth advertising and relied on low-cost dealership promotions. vans is known for providing true skate culture. it markets itself as more than a company but a lifestyle. very early on, vans became actively involved in skate culture by hosting skateboarding days and sponsoring the famous warped tour. furthermore, in 2014, vans opened a free-access skate complex in huntington beach. embracing skate culture to its fullest has brought vans to prominence within skate society. lululemon is known for being far more than a simple spandex store. whilst other brands built stores, lululemon created a 'hub for healthy living'. furthermore, the company regularly run yoga classes and appoint ambassadors that truly represent the lululemon brand.their enthusiasm enabled lululemon to create a lifestyle based on healthy living and health enthusiasts. selling the lifestyle constituted to a brand that made high priced, $98 yoga pants merchantable. apple has become the epitome of cult branding. the brand has a strong corporate culture of listening and receiving feedback, especially from the consumer's perspective. apple recognizes its customer's appreciate innovation and the aesthetics of things. apple's annual macworld expo which includes workshops where the latest apple products are discussed in an open environment allows apple to create innovative products that customers greatly desire. for instance, the introduction of the ipod was created in ways that intertwined with human lifestyles and day-to-day activities. furthermore, apple slogans such as 'think different' pinpointed human desires to be different and to be part of a society. the slogan was a true manifestation of individual identity. cult brands do not confine to products or services provided by businesses. cult brands may include influential people, for instance, celebrities. the oprah winfrey show rapidly flourished into a cult brand in 1986. oprah's topic of discussion and debate were of great interest to her audience, while her advice and recommendations were found highly influential. for example, oprah's book recommendations helped many novels become best sellers. furthermore, her endorsement of the current president of the united states, barack obama's presidential election in 2008 proved efficacious. in 2001, after an education ministry panel recommended english education at elementary schools, the company offered courses for japanese elementary school teachers to prepare them for teaching english to their students. in 2010, the company was purchased by the cram school operator because they wanted to move into the teaching of 5th- and 6th-grade students due to the new compulsory english teaching at that age level. at that time, it operated 199 schools in the kantō region — of which 46 were franchised—and had four subsidiaries: shane corporation japan, shane corporation kita kanto, shane corporation higashi kanto, and shane corporation minami kanto. in march 2017, two teachers filed a suit against the company, claiming wrongful dismissal. an icon brand is a symbol-intensive brand that carry powerful universal values making it instantly recognisable thanks to ownable and distinctive codes. typical icon brands are luxury brands such as chanel, armani or prada, or globally admired jewellers such as bulgari, cartier and tiffany. fashion brands can become iconic by delivering universal values and iconic elements that allow them to remain successful over time, like ralph lauren or dolce&gabbana. the same ability to offer hetero-directed emotional benefits can be associated with only one product (absolut vodka) or a product line that insists on a very limited market segment, as in the event of mini or vespa. these are "icon products". icon brands often come from a position of authority or cult brand, extending the range of products and their popularity outside a restricted circle of followers. ‘icon brand’ is also a name of a brand that produces goods for its customers, however despite its name the brand is irrelevant to the marketing term icon brand'. becoming an icon is reaching the top of the marketing world. icon brands are the most successful, distinctive and famous of the brands. as a result, all brands seek to become icons in order to maximize their sales and reputation however only a few is able to become icons. icons are summarised myths and these myths generally evoke the tension between people's individualistic ideas and the prevailing ideology of the society. examples for icon brand myths include nike's air jordan shoes as they symbolize individual achievement through perseverance and harley davidson, which symbolizes rebel bikers. as a consequence of these ideologies, desires to look for a myth start to emerge within people. this results in the creation of myth markets in which brands compete to become icons. research shows that if marketed competently, any brand, regardless of its origins and sector can become an icon brand. airey, in his book, states that in order to be called an icon, a brand must be simple, relevant, enduring, distinctive, memorable and adaptable. a good brand look and being able to satisfy public demands create attention from the public and help the brand establish strong and emotional bonds with its customers whereas simplicity makes the brand more memorable for the customer. although they can endure wear by time, if an ideology shift occurs, the myth of the brand must be reinvented accordingly, in order to protect its status. logo of the brand must be relevant and distinctive. it must be permanent as it helps to establish a good brand image. for example, kellogg's’ logo has never changed since 1906, and this has created trust and loyalty for the brand. status of a brand should be determined before attempting to develop it into an icon brand. there are two types of brands, as they possess either rational or emotional associations. emotional brands include icon brands and cult brands. big and emotional brands such as nike are icon brands whereas cult brands are the smaller emotional brands. for example, somebody's favorite restaurant is a cult brand for him. on the other hand, rational brands are mass brands and niche brands. large and rational brands such as toyota are named as mass brands. a niche brand is the brand, which can be associated with tangible assets or values by a specific group. the bank of new york can be regarded as an example for this type. according to hollis, managers need to take the following five steps before attempting to turn their brands into icons: 1) being loyal to the brand's purpose. 2) scrutinizing the brand experience that the brand delivers. 3) identifying any icon elements in the brand. 4) being both authentic and modern at the same time. 5) being focused. icon brands have their own unique characters that differentiate them from other brands. they inspire passion and loyalty. they are not only instantly recognizable but also are admired and meaningful in a way for society. meaning is very valuable for successful brands it is a way to communicate with the people. an example for this is coca-cola's depiction of happiness. by creating this image, coca-cola represents a fraction from the lives of its customers and as a result is able to get a powerful response from them. iconic brands are successful as they develop powerful identity myths, which are delivered tangibly to make the myth more accessible. these powerful myths address people's desires and anxieties. myths created by brands (generally through advertisements), lead people to believe that products embody the myth, which are ultimately consumed as those brands are purchased. in general, icon brands: 1) focus on national contradictions. - icons do not differentiate between different segments of consumers; they target the society as a whole through making a connection with national ideology. 2) employ myths that direct culture – icons lead pop-culture. they have high market-power because they create myths in order to repair culture when it is necessary. they give existing values new purposes. 3) sound like a rebel – icons target those who want to live according to alternative ideals rather than the national ideology in order to create a challenge to the national identity. their purpose is to understand their point of views and to communicate people like a rebel. 4) draw on political authority in order to rebuild the myth – icons do not have a certain identity and as the ideology that surrounds them changes, they have to change and adopt. however, one thing that always stays is their political authority. even if an icon's myth loses its importance, constituency always expects the icon to be as effective as always since they see icons as trustworthy and committed advocates. 5) draw on cultural knowledge – icon brands use culture in order to respond to the needs of customers in an emotional way. examples of icon brands: - nike - apple - harley davidson - oreos - coca-cola icon brands are very valuable for consumers as they have a crucial role in the society. a major reason for their success is not the possible services and benefits they can offer in terms of customer satisfaction or technology, but the fact that they have connections with culture. a proof of this is the fact that coca-cola and nike are more popular and loved even than the united states according to a survey. icon brands’ symbolic meaning is another factor that makes them more successful than the other brands. the symbols in logos such as harley davidson's eagle triggers imagination and connects it with ideas and values. customer perceptions also favour icon brands, as a research states that icon brands have a higher top-of mind awareness. this shows that iconic brands are the first brands to come to a customer's mind when they think of a specific product. this familiarity makes the likelihood of purchase higher for icon brands than the other brands. also if brand is an icon; people do not tend to doubt its quality and prestige. icon brands are significantly different than other brands. they are built by different principles than those of conventional marketing, as their first priority is not customer satisfaction. for icon brands, what the brand stands for is more important than the performance of the brand. the main difference is that brands address rational world whereas icons address emotional world. brands can also be associated with reliability, value, customer service, price and aesthetics. in contrast with this, icons can be associated with adventure, independence, originality, comfort and nostalgia. it is often a common mistake to think that identity brand and icon brand to have the same meaning. identity brands target to facilitate character recognition by connecting to brand personalities. their personality constantly changes as they aim to reflect societal changes. examples for identity brands include american express and tango. icon brands, on the other hand, have very strong identities that separate them from identity brands as they target emotions and culture instead. iconic brands possess three major features that separate them from other big, well-known brands: 1. cultural roots that allows them to connect with society's values. 2. they are easily recognizable due to their physical or symbolic features. 3. they have forceful stories and they always manage to remain loyal to their original values. anastasia vdovenco (born 20 april 1994 in chișinău) is a moldovan tennis player. vdovenco has won three singles and

dynasty centered in tunisia. it ruled an independent principality in tunis from 1059 to 1148 when they became governors of ifriqiya under the siculo-norman kings and their annexions into the kingdom of africa, until the end of the dynasty in 1159 from the almohade conquest. the khurasanid dynasty was founded during the 11th century by abd al-haqq ibn abd al-aziz ibn khurasan, who was appointed as governor of tunis by the hammadid dynasty. this followed entreaties by locals seeking protection from raids by the banu hilal, as the zirid dynasty sultan al-mu'izz ibn badis offered none. abd al-haqq soon made the city an independent principality that would be governed by his family for almost a century. the fourth khurasanid ruler, ahmad ibn abd al-aziz (1107-1128), was considered by ibn khaldoun to be the most remarkable of his family. he built ramparts around tunis to defend it and secured guarantees of safe passage for travellers from the banu hilal. the principality was annexed to the hammadid kingdom in 1128, before it recovered its independence in 1148. after a period of hammadid rule and a brief interregnum during which the people of tunis sought to elect a new leader, khurasanid rule was restored when abu bakr ibn ismail was smuggled over the city walls at night in a basket. seven months later he was drowned by his nephew abd allah ibn abd al-aziz, who succeeded him. under khurasanid rule, the small independent kingdom resumed foreign trade relations and people enjoyed unprecedented prosperity. the city was embellished with new buildings, including a fortified palace, and the outer defenses were strengthened. in 1159, the last khurasanid ruler, ali ibn ahmad ibn abd al-aziz, was ousted by the almohad caliphate and sent into exile. the almohads annexed the whole ifriqiya to its empire, putting an end to khurasanid rule. the metro state men's basketball team, or roadrunners, represents metropolitan state university of denver in denver,

sofia university st. kliment ohridsky in 1968. on political grounds, for years he was denied the right to do academic work. in 1976 he started work as a research fellow at the institute of sociology of the bulgarian academy of sciences. in 1989 he became a professor. in 1991 he was minister of science and education. in 1992–2003 he was director of the institute of sociology at bas. president of the bulgarian sociological association . national programme director for the european values study. georgy fotev is the author of more than 250 scientific publications, many of them published abroad. his works have come out in more than 15 countries. the senate of the european academy of sciences elected him active member in 1993, and he is also member of many other international scientific organizations. honorary professor of new bulgarian university. (2012).[5] fulbright scholar at duke university (usa) (1997–1998). member of the bulgarian academy of sciences and arts. in 2013 he restored the institute of sociology at this academy. member of the editorial advisory board of the journal polish sociological review since 2000 as well as of the editorial boards of other academic journals. vice chairman of the board of directors of american university in bulgaria from 2000 to 2003. member of the university council of that university from 2003[6]. member of the board of trustees of new bulgarian university since 1994[7]. he is married and has a son and daughter. georgy fotev's studies in the field of history of sociology encompass the classics of sociology and the development of the western sociological tradition from antiquity to the end of the 20th century. his books the sociological theories of e. durkheim, m. weber, and v. pareto. a critical comparative analysis, principles of positivist sociology, and many of his articles and studies are devoted to classical names in sociology. in his monumental two-volume work history of sociology (two editions) he makes the distinction between proto-sociology and the development of sociology as a differentiated and poly-paradigmatic science. fotev's works on historical sociology, in particular his social reality and imagination. a sociological study on the renaissance, are of path-breaking importance for the bulgarian sociological tradition. the concept of historical sociology rethinks the established disciplinary perspectives and status of this field within the ensemble of sociological sub-disciplines. the unfolding project of modernity is linked to periodic crises of legitimacy, which, in late modernity, create the impression of a permanent crisis. after the collapse of the totalitarian system, fotev published the first book in bulgaria specially devoted to the topic of civil society; in it, he explains why this concept was taboo in totalitarian society. georgy fotev is the founder in bulgaria of the disciplines of ethnosociology and sociology of religions. he has rethought fundamental concepts in these fields, such as “ethnos”, and has grounded an original thesis regarding the other ethnos. his contributions in this area go beyond the boundaries of bulgarian national sociology. in his large-scale sociological treatise limits of politics and in his books the meaning of politics and ethnicity, religion and politics, he has treated of fundamental problems of politics. his studies in this field hold a major place in the author's work. georgy fotev has grounded and elaborated an ambitious project in modern sociology: he sees dialogue as being the foundation of the poly-paradigmatic sociology, which otherwise would be doomed to constant internecine feuding due to the incommensurable elements contained in the various sociological paradigms. the author refers to a dialogical reason that can be an alternative and opposition to the century-long domination of monological reason. as a concept, dialogue is something more than conversation, discussion, debate, etc.[12] in contrast with certain influential views regarding the chaos of scientific disciplines, the end of disciplinary knowledge, and methodological anarchy, georgy fotev proposes the thesis that scientific cognition would be impossible outside a certain disciplinary framework, which, however, must be different from the framework of monodisciplinary sciences, respectively, of sociology as a monodisciplinary science. there also exist interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary sciences.[13] in his monographical work the long night of communism in bulgaria[14] and other publications, fotev has studied the formation, functioning and implosion of the totalitarian communist system. as the author puts it, these analyses resemble a surrealistic sociology of a utopia. the eponymous book is a large-scale attempt at sociological characterization of the bulgarian national community in the age of modernization. melancholy is viewed in the perspective of phenomenological sociology.[15] in the author's works devoted to sociology of values and axiology, he has elaborated a complex theory of values, including the distinction between value, fact, and norm, the crisis of values, the revaluation of values, the values functioning in present-day bulgarian society, etc. [16] severnside composers alliance is an organization founded in 2003 by composer sulyen caradon with a number of other composers based in the bristol, bath and

french canton of pyrénées-orientales department, in occitanie. at the french canton reorganisation which came into effect in march 2015, the canton was created including 5 communes from the canton of elne and 2 from the canton of la côte radieuse. galium geminiflorum, the twinflowered bedstraw, is a plant species in the rubiaceae, currently accepted as a distinct species. this 1838 name by lowe should not be confused with the 1844 plant given the same name by martens & galeotti. "galium geminiflorum" is native to certain islands of the eastern north atlantic: madeira, the canary islands and selvagens (savage islands) the mount egmont branch was a short but steep branch railway line in taranaki, new zealand, built to supply rail ballast for the taranaki and whanganui districts from a quarry on mount taranaki (known as egmont during the line's lifetime). it left the marton–new plymouth line at waipuku, 9 km north of stratford. work started in 1906, and the first 9.6 km section was handed over to the new zealand railways department by 1 april 1908. the line was extended to about 11 km from the main line by 1912-13, but an upper quarry extension to an elevation of 930m (which would have made it the highest line in new zealand by over 100m) was not proceeded with. as the readily available rock was worked out by 1937 and it was cheaper to supply ballast from riverbed plants, most of the branch closed in 1938 and the remainder, which had been unused for years, in 1951. between the junction and the edge of egmont national park, few signs of the branch remain. within the park, the old roadbed has been converted into a walking track maintained by the department of conservation. various relics of the railway and quarrying activity are visible from the track, most notably the substantial remnants of the ballast crusher. the wachtendonck psalms are a collection of latin psalms, with a translation in an eastern variety of old dutch (old low franconian). it contains a number of old high german elements, because it was probably based on a middle franconian original. remains of them. the psalms were named after a manuscript which has not come down to us, but out of which scholars believe the surviving fragments must have been copied. this manuscript was once owned by liège canon arnold wachtendonck. he was supervisor over munsterbilzen abbey, where he found the manuscript. the surviving fragments are handwritten copies made by the renaissance scholar justus lipsius in the sixteenth century. lipsius made a number of separate copies of apparently the same material and these versions do not always agree. in addition, scholars conclude that the numerous errors and inconsistencies in the fragments point not only to some carelessness or inattentiveness by the renaissance scholars but also to errors in the now lost manuscript out of which the material was copied. the language of the psalms suggests that they were originally written in the 10th century. a number of editions exist, among others by the 19th-century dutch philologist willem lodewijk van helten and, more recently, the diplomatic edition by the american historical linguist robert l. kyes (1969) and the critical edition by the dutch philologist arend quak (1981). as might be expected from an interlinear translation, the word order of the old franconian text follows very closely that of the latin original. praia dos arrifes is a beach on the atlantic south coast of the algarve, close to the village resort of sesmarias which is within the municipality of albufeira, portugal. this beach is located by road to the west of albufeira old town centre and is west of the regions capital of faro. this beach is one of sixty nine blue flag beaches (2012) in the algarve the beach is also sometimes referred to locally as "praia dos três penecos" ("beach of triple rocks"). this because of the location of three large isolated rock formations which dominate the line of the horizon from the beach. the tops of the formations are dotted with plants resistant to salt spray, such as wormleaf saltwort and rock samphire, which survive and grow on the rocks because the tops are well above the high tide level. above the small beach, the cliff tops are populated by pine trees and examples of the dwarf fan palms, the only palm native to europe. to reach the sands there are a set of wooden steps from the parking area making access to this beach difficult for the disabled. the beach facilities include a bar and restaurant although this is closed in the winter. there are toilets and a shower. during the summer season the beach is patrolled by lifeguards. also in the summer season there are loungers, and parasols which can be hired. at the back of the beach there is a large informal parking area although in the summer parking is strictly controlled in order to minimise destabilization of the cliffs. whilst on this beach it is advised to take caution when near the base of the cliffs as there is a danger of falling rocks and stones from above. at the eastern end of the main beach there is a small satellite beach which has difficult access across the rocky foreshore but is characterised with many interesting rock formations and fossilised bedrock. thomas boyd (born 22 august 1995) is a former professional australian rules footballer. he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2013 afl draft by the greater western sydney giants, but was traded to the western bulldogs following the 2014 season. in 2016, he helped the bulldogs win their first premiership since 1954. after struggling with injuries and mental health, boyd announced his retirement from afl football in may 2019. boyd attended luther college in croydon hills, victoria and played junior football for the norwood football club. playing for eastern ranges in the tac cup from 2011 to 2013, boyd was the competition's leading goal kicker in 2012 and later performed well for vic metro at the 2012 national carnival. in april 2013, boyd visited copenhagen in his mother's native denmark for three days as part of the ais-afl academy tour. boyd was selected with the first overall pick in the 2013 afl draft by the greater western sydney giants. in his reserves debut on 1 march 2014, boyd kicked three goals and demonstrated his versatility with a stint in the ruck. he went on to make his senior debut on 20 april 2014 in the giants' 137–72 loss to the adelaide crows; he managed just five disposals and didn't score. he finished the 2014 season with eight goals in nine games. on 13 october 2014, boyd requested a trade to the western bulldogs. this development was made even more remarkable considering that only days prior, bulldogs' captain ryan griffen had requested a trade away from the club and brendan mccartney had resigned as senior coach. despite the giants initial stance claiming that boyd would not be traded under any circumstances, two days after boyd handed in his trade request, he was traded to the bulldogs in exchange for griffen and pick 6 in the 2014 afl draft. he later signed a seven-year, $7 million contract with the bulldogs. in his debut game for the bulldogs on 4 april 2015, boyd was well-held by eagle jeremy mcgovern but managed to kick an important late goal to help his new club secure a round 1 win over the west coast eagles. on 22 june 2015, he earned the afl's rising star nomination for round 12 after kicking four goals and recording eight marks in a win over the brisbane lions. following a poor showing in the bulldogs' round 16 game against geelong, boyd was dropped from the senior squad and failed to be recalled to the afl level for the rest of the season, playing out the year with the team's vfl side. he helped footscray reach the vfl finals, kicking two goals in the team's semi-final loss to essendon. boyd's right shoulder was a constant problem for him throughout the 2016 season after he first aggravated it in the club's round four game against carlton. the injury kept him on the sidelines for much of the first half of the season, after which he returned with the bulldogs' vfl side, footscray. he was in line to receive a recall to the afl side for round 15, but a drunken, "violent" altercation with teammate zaine cordy set him back. he was suspended indefinitely by the club on 30 june 2016 and fined $5,000. boyd responded with a four-goal haul in footscray's 12-point loss to coburg on july 2. he returned to the afl side in round 17 and remained there for the rest of the year. he showed promise when he kicked three goals in the bulldogs' loss to geelong in round 19. he went on to help the bulldogs reach their first vfl/afl grand final since 1961. in the 2016 grand final, boyd completed a coming-of-age finals series with his aerial work highly influential, finishing the match with eight marks (six contested) and three goals. his third goal late in the fourth quarter from the centre square sealed the win for the bulldogs, as they defeated the sydney swans by 22 points to become the first team to win a premiership from seventh on the ladder. despite enjoying a breakthrough finals series in 2016, boyd struggled to reproduce that form in 2017. coach luke beveridge admitted he saw boyd as a ruckman more than a key forward at this stage of his career. he kicked seven goals from 11 games, and averaged 20 hit-outs a game, before enduring a poor run of injury, missing round 12 with a back injury and rounds 14 and 15 with a calf injury. on 5 july 2017, boyd was provided a leave of absence from the bulldogs to receive treatment for clinical depression. boyd's 2018 season was cut short by a back injury, as he was ruled out for the rest of the season after round 18. on 16 may 2019, having not played at the top level since round 18 in 2018 amid battles with injury and mental health, boyd announced his immediate retirement from the afl. over his afl career, he never played more than 15 games in a season. ! scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 2014 ! scope="row"

"for whom the bell tolls" is the fourth episode of the fifth season of the american series "the vampire diaries", and the series' 93rd episode overall. "for whom the bell tolls" was originally aired on october 24, 2013, on the cw. the episode was written by brett matthews and elisabeth r. finch and directed by michael allowitz. after stefan (paul wesley) lost his memory, damon (ian somerhalder) tries to help him remember. he remembers the date and where he is, but he cannot remember who he is, who the people are around him, or even that he is a vampire. damon presents stefan with his diaries to jog his memory with, but he still has no recollection of his past. elena (nina dobrev) meets the two of them later to find out that damon did not tell stefan about her yet. stefan is conquered by his thirst and follows a waitress but damon gets there in time before he hurts her. after the incident, they take stefan to the family crypt where there are fewer people around. damon gets a phone call from jeremy (steven r. mcqueen) and leaves, leaving stefan alone with elena. elena tries to help stefan remember by taking him to the school where they reenact the moment they met. stefan still cannot remember, so elena takes him to the bridge where he saved matt's (zach roerig) life and she became a vampire. he does not recall any of the events. the two of them come very close, but before they kiss, elena tells him that she is with damon, something that makes stefan angry and leaves. matt experiences episodes of losing time, so he sets up cameras all over the house to discover what is happening. he also calls jeremy to ask his help since he can't contact bonnie (kat graham). when jeremy sees how desperate matt is and that everyone is looking for bonnie for help, he decides to tell everyone that bonnie is dead despite her wishes and he calls damon. matt later discovers in one of the videos that he has a passenger inside of him who warns him that his friends will come looking for the knife and he has to protect it otherwise they will kill him. damon is back to the salvatore house where jeremy informs him about bonnie. damon tries to tell elena but stops when she tells him that she has lost stefan and he decides to help her find him. stefan is at the remembrance day celebration at the cemetery where caroline (candice accola) finds him. stefan can feel that he can trust her but he attacks jesse (kendrick sampson). caroline stops him, gives jesse her blood to heal him and then compels him to forget. stefan returns home, burns his journals and packs his things to leave. he is uninterested in continuing to live in the salvatore home and continue his life as the "old" stefan. before he goes, he makes a promise to damon and elena that he will not become the ripper again and that caroline will be checking up on him. after stefan's departure, damon finally tells elena that bonnie is dead. elena, damon, caroline, matt and jeremy make a private ceremony for bonnie in the forest to say their goodbyes. bonnie is there and she talks to all of them through jeremy who can see and hear her. while this is happening, tyler (michael trevino) appears and caroline runs towards him laughing through her tears. the episode ends with jesse and maxfield (rick cosnett) who finds evidence of vampire blood in jesse's system. he explains to him that this might have happened because someone tried to heal him or because someone wanted to make him a vampire. maxfield guesses that what happened must be the first and he also explains that having vampire blood in your system is the first step to become a vampire. jesse looks on, confused, as maxfield says: "and this is the second," while he injects jesse with a syringe filled with yellow liquid that kills him. in the "for whom the bell tolls" episode we can hear the songs: in its original american broadcast, "for whom the bell tolls" was watched by 2.63 million; down 0.30 from the previous episode. "for whom the bell tolls" received positive reviews. leigh raines of "tv fanatic" rated the episode with 4/5 stating that "more than halfway through "for whom the bell tolls" i was moderately bored by this week's the vampire diaries. [...] then jeremy revealed a secret we've known since the vampire diaries season 4 finale and everything went to pieces." nad from "nad's reviews" gave a b+ rate to the episode saying that he enjoyed it and that it was a solid and highly effective hour of "the vampire diaries". "for the first time in a long time, i actually find myself looking forward to catching up with the gang every week." stephanie flasher of "tv after dark" gave an a- rate to the episode saying that it was quite an emotional one. "overall, it's a pretty good episode. i wish there would have been more development in the silas story line, but gave bonnie a true memorial that the character truly deserved, even though she'll still be on the show." christopher monigle of "star pulse" gave a good review to the episode saying that the show "excels at moving farewell scenes" and "the writing’s really, really moving sometimes." stephanie hall of "ksitetv" also gave a good review to the episode saying that it didn't fail to entertain. "i hesitate to call "for whom the bell tolls" a filler episode because there were monumental moments moving the greater story forward, but for all intents and purposes it was an episode devised for the sake of season one nostalgia." crystal bell from "wetpaint" said that the episode was "a roller coaster of emotions" and "had a little bit of everything." "if there was one blip in this otherwise perfect episode it was matt's storyline, which frankly, isn't as compelling as we'd like it to be." despite the good reviews, carrie raisler from "the a.v.

7.9 km (originally 14.1 km) in the waikato in new zealand, built to serve coal mines in the awaroa district west of huntly at rotowaro, pukemiro and glen afton. rotowaro is māori for "coal lake". when handed over from public works to nzr in 1915 it was called the awaroa branch, but was also known as the glen afton branch to about 1974, then as the rotowaro branch to 3 november 1988, then as the rotowaro industrial line. by 2014 it was again named the rotowaro branch. the first 5 km was authorised in 1910, and required a road-rail bridge over the waikato river, with an extension which carried the railway over the main highway. the bridge, constructed from 1911 to october 1914, had 10 spans of australian hardwood (8 of 30.5m and 2 of 12.2m) on steel and reinforced concrete piers. the nearby wilton collieries co complained that they too did not have public money put into building their line and river bridge. the bridge was damaged by dynamite (see huntly rail bridge bombing) during the 1951 waterfront dispute. in november 1959 a separate road bridge was opened. the first 5 km of track opened about 1911, and this seems to be confirmed by a 1914 report saying the huntly-awaroa line is complete over the first section, ""well advanced"" by co-operative labour over the next and ""fair progress"" with 5 small contracts to a proposed station from huntly, ""where coal from the pukemiro collieries will be delivered for transport. an addition is being made to the combined bridge over the waikato river to carry it over the main south road. it is hoped by the end of the ensuing summer to have the rails laid to the junction with the pukemiro collieries line. as the works now in hand draw to a close, it is proposed to continue operations on this line in the direction of the burnt bridge. the expenditure upon the railway and bridge during last financial year amounted to £16,503, and for the current year a vote of £30,000 is proposed"." in 2015 prices £46,503 would be equivalent to $6.8m. new zealand co-operative dairy company started mining at glen afton in 1921. the 2.5 km extension from rotowaro to pukemiro and glen afton was built between 1915 and 1924, although a further proposed extension beyond glen afton did not proceed. the hill section from rotowaro to glen afton was difficult to construct, with a large "summit" cutting just before glen afton. grades on the hill section were up to 1 in 50, with 150m (7.5 chain) radius curves. at the same time as the extension, tablet signalling was introduced between huntly and glen afton. there were several short private lines to mines at rotowaro, pukemiro and glen afton. in 1928 the line was operated by ww class, carrying about 350 miners a day and monthly coal outputs of 11,000 tons at rotowaro, 15,000 at pukemiro and 12,000 at glen afton, as well as bringing in supplies such as pit props. the branch line was dieselised in 1966, with a special nzrls excursion train on 12 march 1966 to mark the change, hauled by two b class steam locos. passenger trains, mainly for miners, ran to 23 june 1972, apart from a special train for railway enthusiasts on 16 december 1972 hauled by a d class diesel loco. a 1935 schedule allowed 45 minutes for the all stations trip from huntly to glen afton. the rotowaro to glen afton section west of rotowaro was closed from 5 march 1973, as the mines had run out of coal. the line was shortened from 14.10 km to 7.97 km. from 1977 the section to rotowaro, pukemiro and glen afton was handed over to the bush tramway club who operate over about 5 km of former nzr line, though the last 2.5 km to glen afton is no longer usable. the section to rotowaro was renamed from rotowaro industrial line to rotowaro branch in 2011. rotowaro station has been moved to the bush tramway.

with caterina's husband gabriele (michele gammino) but has not considered that photographic evidence may be a problem in her plans whereas caterina attempts to have sex with dim-witted giacomo (lucio montanaro) she has been seducing for a while. on the other hand, rita tells of the inheritance to her husband filippo (gianfranco d'angelo) and greedy filippo, incorrectly thinking that his wife will

of asean and enjoys a good relations. although the relations become strained in late 2016 due to the rohingya issues, the relations remained stable after the meeting between both countries armed forces chief to playing down the issues. myanmar currently has an embassy in kuala lumpur, and malaysia has an embassy in yangon. the relations between the two countries were established on 1 march 1957 and the first burma mission at the legation level was set up in kuala lumpur in june 1959 and later raised to the embassy level. from 2011–2012, the total of myanmar exports to malaysia worth over us$152.038 million while the imports from malaysia during the same year worth over us$303.410 million and the total trade reached us$455.448 million. myanmar’s ten main exports items to malaysia were rubber, fish, prawns, sesame, clothes, timber, tamarind, green gram, pigeon peas, and corn while its ten main imports items from malaysia such as oil, raw plastics ware, petroleum and chemical products, metal construction appliances, wires, medical products, electrical and electronic machineries, mechanical appliances and crops oil. beside that, myanmar is currently need more investment from others country such as malaysia to develop the country economy. in 2017, a memorandum of understanding (mou) in healthcare deal was signed by malaysia healthcare travel council (mhtc) to promoting healthcare services to myanmar citizens in malaysia which will also encourage knowledge and skill transfer between doctors of the two countries. following the rakhine state riots since 2012, thousands of rohingya people have been exodus from myanmar and this sparked the rohingya refugee crisis in 2015 to myanmar neighbouring countries. due to the unstoppable human exodus from myanmar until 2016 which also have since affecting malaysia, prime minister najib razak decide to join a rally to myanmar embassy with the protestors gathered in titiwangsa stadium of kuala lumpur. the event was organised by malay muslim groups, political parties as well non-governmental organisations (ngos) in 4 december to urge myanmar to stop of what been labelled by malaysia as a “genocide to muslim as well to its minority people” and calling the international community to put a pressure into myanmar. during the rally, the prime minister said: the malaysian prime minister mocked the myanmar nobel laureates winner aung san suu kyi for her inaction over the issues, as well issuing a response via twitter in which he stated that “it was not my intention to interfere in myanmar’s internal affairs but that the cruelty against rohingya had gone too far”. the malaysian side also cancelling two football friendly matches of their u-22 team with myanmar u-23 as well previously threatening to pull out their team from the 2016 aff championship to protest myanmar as a group b host where malaysia were placed in the same group after persistent calls from the country muslim individuals, groups and political parties to boycott myanmar for their alleged persecution to the rohingya people. despite various questions and conspiracy arise from the malaysian public, the malaysian foreign affairs ministry view the recent rally joined by the malaysian prime minister as legal due to the spillover effects which became a security concern for malaysia with the continuous arrival of rohingya refugees from myanmar and explained that the matter is “not just about religious issues but humanitarian concerns”. the federation of malaysian manufacturers (fmm) said earlier following the decision of myanmar government to halt its workers prior to the ongoing issues, the move will affect malaysia industry. however, this was denied by malaysian deputy human resources minister as they can look up on other source of labours from other countries. as a reaction, myanmar nationalists, led by activist and monk sayadaw pamaukkha, began to protest against the malaysian prime minister's decision to join the rally. they suggested that malaysia should “take all rohingya people in their country and integrate into the malaysian society if they (the malaysians) love the rohingya so much as we the myanmar people don't want our race, religion and nation from disappearing due to the fast growth of rohingya population” (with myanmar previous junta administration labelling the rohingya as immigrants from bangladesh especially during the operation king dragon with many are claimed to be insurgents and illegal immigrants who fled from the bangladesh liberation war). the group also remind myanmar citizen in malaysia to be careful as some extreme group and ngos in the country have inciting hatred to malaysians to hate myanmar people, adding that “they would organise a similar protest in their country to condemn the malaysian action but will not burning the malaysian flag as been did by some of the malaysian protesters to myanmar flag in recent rally”. earlier before malaysian prime minister join the rally, myanmar president's office deputy-director and spokesman for myanmar president htin kyaw, zaw htay urge malaysia to “respecting their sovereign affairs and to stop interfering in their country affairs”. zaw htay has announced that the government of myanmar would issue an official response objecting to malaysian prime minister participation in the rally and said “our new government is working on a solution to the rohingya issues and i want to say again that the malaysian government should respect the asean charter”. adding that the rally that was supported by malaysian leader “could stoke religious extremism and amounted to vote-seeking ahead of a malaysian election expected soon” as well criticising malaysian media for giving a bias report and playing up the rohingya issues. malaysian ambassador to myanmar were summoned previously since the malaysian government raise their concern on the issues although myanmar did not yet issued any instructions on a change to diplomatic posture with malaysia. as a condemnation to the malaysian prime minister action, myanmar protesters gather in mahabandoola park of yangon on 5 december. the myanmar national monk union also release a statement that: with other monk members issuing a letter: and another myanmar protest leader rejecting international pressure on myanmar as suggested by the malaysian prime minister. on a statement, he said: advisor to former president thein sein, ko ko hlaing accused malaysian prime minister of exploiting the issue to divert public attention away from corruption allegations levelled against him. while the myanmar committee for the protection of race and religion of ma ba tha slammed malaysian prime minister action for meddling and “insulting myanmar and aung san suu kyi’s handling of the affairs” with the group leaders said a letter will be translated and delivered to the malaysian embassy in yangon. myanmar journalist also explained that suu kyi are not ignoring the rohingya plight as been accused by najib, but the new administration especially with her limited powers as well with many other myanmar internal issues hardened the process much over when rakhine state politicians continue to disapprove the attempts of state counsellor's (headed by suu kyi) handling of the situation. prior to the ongoing issues with malaysia especially due to the demonstrations against myanmar, the myanmar labour department indefinitely suspended sending of migrant workers to the country beginning from 7 december. until 5 may 2017, there were still no green light from the myanmar side to allow their workers to go to malaysia as there are many reported cases where myanmar workers have been killed in malaysia; although traffickers continue to smuggle myanmar workers to the country. earlier in october 2016, a malaysian malay newspaper of harian metro reported on the behaviour of rohingya in malaysia who had been using government land without permission, operating business without licence and using public parking spaces like their own land for their business storage with the activities have been ongoing for more than 10 years ago without any action from the malaysian local administration government. the behaviour of rohingya immigrants and asylum seekers was heavily criticised by many of the malaysians public especially from the majority malays with some commenting the news release in facebook as “no wonder they been discriminated in myanmar with this kind of behaviour”, with other chided the situation as “a result from religious organisations inside the country who like to urged the government to take every muslim refugees from war-torn countries just because of the same religion and under the excuse of humanity without checking the background of those refugees first” as well some said that “this country will soon be overtaken by these refugees and we will become a minority in our own land although they have the same religion with us”. thailand-based expert on asean affairs, kavi chongkittavorn describe malaysian prime minister actions “as an attempt to gain support from his country’s muslim community and that his concern could be more effectively registered through discreet diplomacy than openly be made as the myanmar government who will be held to consequences for what is happening after the accusations by the malaysian leader as the issues is an internal problem that has regional implications”. united nations special rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association from kenya, maina kiai lauded the malaysian government efforts to fight for the marginalised rohingya community but remind the government to look to their own minority groups first who been discriminated in the country before trying to look up on other countries issues. the malaysian government humanity sincerity are also been questioned by reporters in their own country for their sudden help as previously malaysian authorities is seen rejecting the rohingya to set foot on malaysian soils while their boat is drifting in the sea after escaping from myanmar. in addition, the poor condition of the already available rohingya in malaysia with most of them are unable to study or send their children to school, no access to healthcare, and their new children who born in the country are unregistered, unable to work legally and vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous employers as malaysia is not a signatory to the 1951 refugee convention have mostly been criticised by journalists and non-governmental organisations in the country. the government also been alleged as bias as they “only selecting discriminated people who are muslims”, as if they are not muslims the government will not care them at all as been exampled from the vietnamese boat people incident where they only been put in bidong island and shooed away as the vietnamese are looked more like a chinese and not muslim with the malaysian deputy prime minister at the time mahathir mohamad threatened to use force to shoot them if they continuously reaching malaysian shore as mahathir worried the increase of non-muslims population in malaysia will threatened the majority malay and muslim population”. the malaysian government also been alleged as trying to make the rohingya as part of malaysian citizens to use them to vote the ruling party for the next malaysian general election as been exampled from the moro muslim refugees in the state of sabah who fleeing the political uncertainty in the philippines in the 1970s when they been registered as a citizen and used as a voter to topple the state government who are christian at the time and to maintain the ruling muslim party to administer the state. the issues of rohingya refugees test malaysia’s chairmanship on asean as previously malaysia together with indonesia and thailand rejecting boats carrying rohingya asylum seekers from reaching their shores mainly due to domestic concerns on illegal immigrants. but with the criticism from united nations human rights chief zeid ra’ad al-hussein to the three countries for turning away the asylum seekers, the malaysian and indonesian leaders decide to held a meeting with the two finally agreed to provide temporary shelter for the rohingya under “humanitarian concerns” under a term that the international community should assist to repatriate and resettle these refugee to another third world countries soon as malaysia is not a signatory to the 1951 refugee convention with the united nations been told not to use malaysia's compassion to allowing more refugees to seek shelter in the country as it is also against the long-term solution for malaysia to repatriate illegal immigrants in the country. furthermore, the ethnic conflicts and violence between myanmar ethnic groups brought by the asylum seekers has threatened the safety of malaysian citizens in their own homeland. the continuous acceptance of muslim refugees from unstable countries under the excuse of “humanitarian concerns and religious sympathy” especially during mahathir administration of strong islamic foreign policy that was continued until this day by najib received backlash from the malaysian general public as this has been perceive that the government are putting more priority to foreigners than its own citizens suffering especially with the rampant crimes and social problems committed by the asylum seekers in malaysia. the malaysian government then sent the malaysian armed forces chief to meet the myanmar tatmadaw chief and myanmar president to repair the already “fraught relations between the two countries as a result from the rohingya issues” with the myanmar president office describe the strained relations as a result of “false news”. in response to the ongoing disagreement between both countries, a group of muslim organisation in myanmar sent an open letter to the malaysian government expressing their disapproval of the country’s response, stating “that is doing more harm than good for muslim people in myanmar”. the letter reads: malaysia foreign minister anifah aman has prepared to meet myanmar's state counselor aung san suu kyi to determine how it can assist to help myanmar to stop the continuous violence as myanmar previously has called on other asean countries to participate in the recent developments in their country including rakhine state where the rohingya are located following myanmar participation in the asean foreign ministers meeting led by malaysia. earlier, malaysia's foreign ministry propose to hold an emergency meeting relating about the rohingya in laos but were rejected by the country. the malaysian foreign deputy minister also clarified that despite the issues, the relations between the two countries are still normal. bz20 is the fifth studio album by irish boy band boyzone, released on 22 november 2013 by

"bz20" is a solid album, boyzone do sound as good as ever. they don’t appear to of sold out and cashed in on a novelty album, like many other boy bands have done time and again. they stay consistent, sound very strong and coherent musically, and have produced and album that will keep everyone happy." in the united kingdom, the album debuted at number six on the uk albums chart with first-week sales of 30,466 copies. as of december 2014, it has sold 199,854 copies in the uk. credits adapted from allmusic. henry francis whight (11 march 1882 – 12 march 1926) was a former australian rules footballer who played with carlton in the victorian football league (vfl). percival cyril pitt (8 september 1883 – 30 june 1968) was an australian rules footballer who played with carlton in the victorian football league (vfl). seventh code is a 2013 japanese action thriller film written and directed by kiyoshi kurosawa, starring atsuko maeda. it won the best director award and the best technical contribution award at the 8th rome film festival. the film was released in japan on january 11, 2014. akiko (atsuko maeda), a young woman, comes to vladivostok to meet matsunaga (ryohei suzuki), a young businessman she has met in tokyo only once. akiko finally finds matsunaga. however, he leaves her again, warning her not to trust strangers in a foreign country. she tries to follow him, but she is attacked by thugs and dumped on the outskirts of town. deborah young of "the hollywood reporter" gave "seventh code" a mixed review, where she found the "closely observed emotions" that were typical of kurosawa's other works such as his "tokyo sonata" film and his made-for-tv serial drama "penance" were "decidedly missing". jay weissberg of "variety" described the film as "a quirky one-hour caper designed as a showcase for singer-actress atsuko maeda." dan fainaru of "screen international" noted that "each of the film's sequences are shot and directed with the smooth, precise authority that clearly attests to kurosawa's high professional standards." mark schilling of "the japan times" gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, commenting that "maeda is not about to become a new action superstar from her work in "seventh code", but it might well extend her appeal beyond her akb48 fan base." henry joseph newbound (25 september 1881 – 2 october 1961) was a former australian rules footballer who played with collingwood and carlton in the victorian football league (vfl). taiwan police college (tpc; ) is a police academy located in wenshan district, taipei, taiwan. tpc was originally established as taiwan provincial police training facilities on 27 october 1945. on 1 april 1948, it was changed to taiwan provincial police academy. on 1 july 1986, it changed name again to taiwan police academy. the academy was finally named taiwan police college on 15 june 1988. the university is accessible south east from wanfang hospital station of taipei metro. arch+ is a quarterly german magazine for architecture, urbanism, and design that was established in 1967. the magazine has been praised by a number of different architects and publications. a group of architecture students and junior faculty from the university of stuttgart established "arch+" in 1967 and its first issue appeared in january of the following year. despite forming concurrent to the student protest movement of 1968, the magazine's content was not explicitly political in its first years. early issues focused on technocratic aspects of architecture and urbanism, such as planning theory, semiotics, mathematics, and cybernetics. in the early 1970s, growing ideological divides among the publication's contributors led to the establishment of splinter editorial groups in west berlin and aachen. a new wave of editors effected a politicization of the magazine, which came to focus increasingly on the sociological issues surrounding the built environment. while this progressive political orientation has stayed with the magazine until today, subsequent decades saw an increase in attention to other aspects of the field, including: aesthetics and postmodernism in the late 1970s, the legacy of the modern movement in the mid-1980s, and high-tech architecture in the 1990s. since 2000, "arch+" has expanded its scope of activities to include exhibition design, exhibition catalogs, a lecture and conversation series, research projects, and competitions. in 2010, arch+ released one of its first fully bilingual publications, "post-oil city", which was followed by its first bilingual issue, "think global, build social!", in 2013. the issue also served as a catalog for an eponymous exhibition at the german architecture museum in frankfurt am main. "arch+" is one of the largest and oldest periodicals in germany that focuses on architectural history and theory. every issue is devoted to a particular subject, place, or theme; recent topics include contemporary japanese architecture, social housing design, service architecture, and shrinking cities. contemporary buildings are featured to illustrate the topic, while timelines and reference projects are meant to situate the topic in broader historical and cultural contexts. issues regularly include long-form essays by academics and architects as well. the "zeitung" section of every issue features book and exhibition reviews. frank archibald sinclair turk (15 january 1911 – 14 february 1986) was a noted entomologist and adult educationalist. in addition to his published work on insects, frank worked as an adult educationalist and ran a programme through the university of exeter's department of extra-mural studies. he had a close relationship with several artists including, the artist peter lanyon's son andrew lanyon, peter liddle and sven berlin. frank's wife stella turk, mbe, was also a published zoologist and worked with frank in the field of adult education. together they were instrumental in founding the cornish biological record unit at the university of exeter's, institute of cornish studies which was later incorporated into the cornwall wildlife trust. frank was elected to be the trust's first president in 1962. turk's publications include: a large number of former american football (nfl) players have been diagnosed with or have had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or cte. a definitive diagnosis so far can be made only post-mortem. however, an increasing number of former players are reporting symptoms of cte. many players affected by cte have been professional players, but others have also been affected by or live with the possibility of having cte. in july 2011, colts tight end john mackey died after several years of deepening symptoms of frontotemporal dementia. the boston university school of medicine busm was reported to be planning to examine his brain for signs of cte. the brain bank found cte in his brain post-mortem. on july 27, 2012, an autopsy report concluded that the former atlanta falcons safety ray easterling, who died from suicide in april 2012, had cte. on february 4, 2016, an autopsy report from massachusetts confirmed cte in ken stabler's brain after his death. stabler, an nfl mvp and hall of famer, was diagnosed with high stage 3 cte. stage 4 is the most aggressive stage of the disease. heisman trophy winner and former nfl all-pro bo jackson said in a 2017 interview with "usa today" that if he had known about the risks associated with cte, he would never have played football, and he discourages his children from doing so. in late 2017, former kansas city chiefs running back larry johnson reported having symptoms akin to aaron hernandez, including memory blanks, suicidal thoughts and thoughts of committing violent acts. although there is no way to positively diagnose cte before death, johnson believes he is living with the disease. a definitive test currently can be made only by examining the brain tissue of a deceased victim. as the families of many deceased players wish to keep their medical information private, the following list is incomplete. a brain injury study conducted at the boston university school of medicine showed that 33 of 34 players tested post-mortem showed clear signs of cte, and additional players have so far been confirmed with cte separately. a new list released in november 2016 mentions cte in 90 of 94 brains of former and deceased nfl players. in july 2017, a new study showed that 110 of 111 brains examined showed signs of cte. included in the list are players diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) who were never tested "post-mortem" for cte but whose history appears consistent with cte. a typical diagnosis of als has primarily been based on the symptoms and signs the physician observes in the patient and a series of tests to rule out other diseases and therefore, prior to the discovery of cte as a phenomenon in ex-american football players, many cte cases were diagnosed as als. the testing of cte in deceased ex-nfl players began only after the disease was first diagnosed, in 2002, in the brain tissue of mike webster. after then, testing became common practice only gradually. a cohort mortality study run by the national institute for occupational safety and health (niosh) examined 3,349 nfl players who played at least five full seasons from 1959 to 1988. findings showed that while nfl players lived longer than the average american male, the risk of death associated with neurodegenerative disorders was about three times higher among the nfl cohort. the risk for death from alzheimer's disease and als were about four times higher among the nfl cohort. some on this list may have had dementia not related to als or cte. these players have publicly acknowledged either having been diagnosed with likely cte or having experienced symptoms, such as dementia or unusual memory loss, consistent with cte. in some cases, the player has received a diagnosis of als but symptoms are consistent with cte. there are at least two dozen former players who were diagnosed as part of a ucla study but have not come forward publicly. there are also around 4,500 former players who joined a class action lawsuit against the nfl alleging that it had covered up a growing body of medical evidence about the preponderance of head-trauma related cte in ex-nfl players. some of these ex-players may have medical conditions other than cte or als. for example, ex-players that have presented with symptoms late in life may have other forms of age-related dementia. some of the former players on this list came forward only in the context of the class action lawsuit versus the nfl. at present, there is no definitive cte test available for living persons. their average age is 51. this list is incomplete. the nfl reportedly reached a settlement in 2013 with around 4,500 former players (or their estates). this list currently contains fewer than half that number. katy marchant, (born 30 january 1993) is an elite english track cyclist who specialises in the sprint disciplines. she was educated at brigshaw high school. originally from leeds, based in manchester since her switch to cycling in april 2013. marchant began her sporting life as a heptathlete, and represented great britain in that event at the 2012 world junior championships. the switchover was instigated by her former coach, toni minichiello (best known for coaching jessica ennis), who suggested the move to cycling having seen the results of her power output on a wattbike test. marchant had cycled for leisure on a mountain bike and on the road, but had no experience of track cycling. after a 6-week trial period, she permanently switched to track cycling. she became a member of british cycling's olympic academy in april 2013, and graduated to the olympic development programme in november 2013. the men's doubles tournament at the 1993 australian open was held from 16 through 29 january 1993 on the outdoor hard courts at the flinders park in melbourne, australia. danie visser and laurie warder won the title, defeating john fitzgerald and anders järryd in the final. ibrahim ibn asim al-uqayli (died 743/4) was a military commander of the umayyad caliphate and governor of sistan. ibrahim ibn asim al-uqayli hailed from the jazira, and belonged to the banu uqayl tribe of the qays. he served as a commander in khurasan against the turgesh under both asim ibn abdallah al-hilali and later under asad ibn abdallah al-qasri. under asad he commanded the eponymous baggage train in the battle of the baggage in september 737, a heavy defeat for the muslims. he was appointed governor of sistan by the governor of iraq, yusuf ibn umar al-thaqafi. on his arrival in his province in july 738, on yusuf's urging, he either killed his predecessor, ibn abi burda, and seized his property, or imprisoned him and sent him to iraq where yusuf killed him under torture. ibrahim died in office in 743/4. the dragon light pagoda (chinese:  ,  , "longguang ta") may refer to: the mobile rocket base (), abbreviated moraba, is a department of the "dlr space operations and astronaut training" in oberpfaffenhofen near munich. since the 1960s, the moraba has performed scientific high altitude research missions with unmanned rockets and balloons, and has developed the required mechanical and electrical systems. their operational areas include upper atmosphere research, microgravity research, astronomy, geophysics, materials science, as well as hypersonic research. "eurolaunch", a cooperation between moraba and ssc esrange, offers international launch services for stratospheric balloons and sounding rockets. since 1971, moraba also cooperates with the brazilian instituto de aeronáutica e espaço (iae) of the departamento de ciência e tecnologia aeroespacial (dcta). the mobile ground stations and antennas for telemetry (reception of data) and tele-command (transmission of control commands), as well as range instrumentation radar stations for the exact trajectory measurement, are part of the mobile infrastructure. this includes also ground support systems for communication, power supplies, etc. the main tasks include tracking the trajectory of sounding rockets or research balloons, rf data reception, data processing, distribution and archiving. transport, setup and maintenance of the mobile stations, as well as mission preparation, are also part of the activities. the electrical flight systems group develops, builds, and qualifies the necessary electrical and electronic systems aboard the rockets and balloons. among others, this includes onboard computer systems, control and measurement equipment, data management and telemetry components, and rf transmission systems. attitude, rate, and acceleration sensors are calibrated and flown in these systems. cold gas rate and attitude control systems are developed and qualified by this group. the construction of electrical ground support equipment (egse) is also in the scope of tasks. the mechanical flight systems group performs structural calculations, aerodynamic and thermal analyses. also, mechanical configuration and design of the payload and the entire vehicle are planned and accomplished, as well as the integration of scientific experiments and the spin balancing of the final payload. furthermore, this group develops and maintains separation and payload recovery systems. the tasks of the launch services group include procurement, inspection, modification and storage of rocket motors and pyrotechnics, setup of the mobile launch pads, assembling the rocket stages and ignition systems, integrating the payload and rocket motors, and loading the rocket onto the launcher. furthermore, the group is responsible for support of flight safety, trajectory calculations, aerodynamic calculations, and selection of the rocket configuration. the mobile rocket base emerged from the "working group for space exploration", a common foundation of the max planck institute for extraterrestrial physics (mpe) and the former german laboratory for aviation (dvl). this working group was founded in 1965 and had its first headquarters in munich. since april 1969 the mobile rocket base is located in oberpfaffenhofen, near munich, in the department "space operations and astronaut training" of the german aerospace center (dlr). the first mobile campaign to study the solar eclipse in may 1966 on the greek island of euboea, on behalf of the european space research organisation (esro), demonstrated the feasibility to move and set up extensive technical and scientific equipment in a short time in a remote location. in cooperation with the mpe, a campaign for the study of the magnetic field of the earth was carried out in the spring of 1967, at esrange (sweden). with five nike-apache rockets, artificial barium clouds (aurora borealis) were created in about 100 km altitude, in order to visualize the magnetic field lines. in addition to the rocket launch sites in scandinavia (kiruna and andenes), also sardinia, wallops island and matagorda island (usa), white sands (usa), greenland, trivandrum (india), woomera (australia), huelva (spain), natal (brazil), and adelaide island (antarctica) were used for the launch of payloads with various scientific purposes. in the following years, sounding rockets were used mainly in the fields of upper atmosphere and research into the causes of global warming. with the start of the "heatpipe 1" payload, manufactured by dornier, friedrichshafen, a new field of application for sounding rockets emerged. the launch took place on january 22, 1976 at esrange, with the aim to investigate the function of heat pipes and latent heat storage in a microgravity environment for their application in future satellite projects. initially intended as a supplementary programme for the german spacelab missions, the first launch of a texus payload took place on december 13, 1977 with a two-stage skylark rocket at esrange. in the following years, up to four texus missions (6 minutes of microgravity) were flown per year, with numerous experiments. in order to meet the ever-increasing number of experiments with different requirements and objectives, the swedish maser programme, the maxus programme (13 minutes microgravity), and the minitexus programme (3 minutes microgravity) were initiated, under the aegis of the european space agency (esa). already in may 1975, the mobile rocket base was involved in research balloons with the flight of the 2.5-ton "spectro-stratoscope" instrument in palestine (texas), for the reception of the pcm data from the payload. together with the max planck institute for aeronomy in lindau (harz, germany), international balloon flights were carried out in aire-sur-l'adour (france), mendoza (argentina), and hyderabad (india), to explore the chemical composition (and pollution) of the atmosphere in different altitudes and latitudes. in the early years of german sounding rocket research, the payloads were designed and built by engineers and technicians from the companies dornier, mbb, kayser-threde, and erno. parallel to the withdrawal of dornier and mbb from payload construction for sounding rockets, moraba developed and tested, in addition to the already existing spin rate and attitude control modules and parachute recovery systems, mechanical and electrical flight systems which were difficult or impossible to obtain on the market. the first and successful application of a rocket-qualified data acquisition and transmission / reception system on a satellite was in the re-entry experiment "express". for this project, in late 1994 a complete transmitting and receiving station with all necessary functions was set up by moraba in the south australian desert and was operated over the turn of the year. after the launch with a japanese satellite launcher and a 7-day orbital flight, the landing of the express capsule was planned to occur in the vicinity of the town of coober pedy (australia). however, due to a malfunction of the rocket, the capsule entered an elliptical orbit with very low perigee and landed in africa after only a few revolutions. further applications of developments of moraba in space flight missions included experiments aboard the russian space station mir and the dlr satellite bird. similar to the novel use of the rocket platform for microgravity research, the use of sounding rockets as a flying hypersonic wind tunnel has increased steadily. with the help of sounding rockets, large flight models are brought to speeds of above mach 12 and reentry periods of up to one minute can be achieved. for the dlr sharp edge flight experiment (shefex) moraba designed and built the payload subsystems and the rocket system. with its launch in october 2005 from andenes (norway) the project has been successfully completed. further experiments of this kind were the also successfully completed follow-up project shefex ii (launched in june 2012), as well as the scramjet engine research programs hifire and scramspace. swings both ways live (also known as the swing tour live) was the tenth concert tour by british recording artist, robbie williams. the tour supports his tenth studio album, "swings both ways". beginning april 2014, the tour played 50 shows in europe, australia and asia. the following setlist is obtained from the concert of 25 april 2014 at the budapest sports arena in budapest, hungary. it does not represents all concerts during the tour. brightholmlee is a small rural hamlet situated within the city of sheffield in england. the hamlet falls within the stannington ward of the city. it is located 6.2 miles (10 km) north-west of the city centre and west of wharncliffe side within bradfield parish. previously a farming community, it consist of four farmsteads, manor farm, old hall farm, high lea farm and lee farm. it is now almost entirely residential with the last working farm being sold for development in 2013. the name brightholmlee originates from the old english language, "“bright”" is probably a modern derivation of an anglo saxon personal name, such as brihtric or beorhtweald, "“holm”" indicates land surrounded partly by streams, while "“lee”" means woodland glade. the earliest recorded reference to the hamlet were documented in 1309 and 1314 when ralph de brightomlee witnessed deeds at westmondhalgh and wigtwizzle. ralph died in 1335 and his son john inherited lands in westmondhalgh and onesacre, after 1345 nothing more is heard of this family. other documents indicate that brightholmlee originated at the beginning of the 13th century. the hamlet is split into two by an old packhorse route called townfield road which comes up from the south and continues onto bolsterstone, it is generally accepted that the houses on the uphill side of the track are several hundred years older than those below. the two oldest buildings in the hamlet are high lea farm and old hall farm, both of which date from the 17th century and with the exception of one modern house (lea croft) all present day buildings in the hamlet were shown on the 1851 os map. high lea farmhouse is a grade ii listed building, it is a long single storied building with a gabled attic. it is unusual in that it is a rare example of a cruck house as most cruck buildings are barns. it dates from the 17th century, although the core may be earlier, there were originally three dwellings within the building, this was later reduced to two, with a cottage at the uphill end and a farmhouse at the downhill end, today one dwelling takes up the whole of the inside. old hall farm is also grade ii listed, local historian joseph kenworthy thought old hall dated back to the tudor period because of the design of the fireplace. it is another timber framed dwelling, with two pairs of crucks. two wings were later added on either side of the original building, these date from 1620 and 1711 respectively. the farm was the property of the appleyard family from the 18th century until recent times. several ancient farm workers cottages at the junction of townfield road and brightholmlee lane were demolished in the hamlet in the mid-1970s. the present day swinnock hall which stands 0.5 km south of the main hamlet was built on the site of the original building which dated from 1416. the first hall was part of the estate of john swinnock, later residents included the waterhouse and bradshaw families. manor farm is another noteworthy building, it is rated as a building of townscape merit, the name suggest that the building is of medieval origins. other buildings in the hamlet include rose cottage and lee farm. the hamlet also has ancient water troughs and a milestone inscribed with the ordnance survey benchmark and a date of 1860. brightholmlee was designated as a conservation area on 5 january 1977. outstanding features of the hamlet which contribute to the designation are: national defense university (ndu; ) is a military academy located in bade district, taoyuan city, taiwan. the university was established in may 2000 by merging armed forces university, national defense medical college, national defense management college and chung cheng institute of technology. the university is accessible south west from yingge station of taiwan railways. lee hyeonggi (hangul: 이형기; january 6, 1933 – february 2, 2005) was a modern south korean poet. lee hyeonggi was born january 6, 1933 in jinju gyeongsangnam-do, korea. lee attended dongguk university, at the base of namsan, from which he earned a b.a. in buddhism in 1956. lee worked as a reporter for the united press, seoul shinmun, daehan ilbo, and as editor in chief and editorial writer for the kukje shinmun. lee was also a professor of korean at dongguk university. lee died on february 2, 2005. the poetic career of lee hyeonggi can be divided into three distinct periods. the first period, best represented by his poetry anthology isolated nature, reflects the maturing thoughts of a man who has come to realize the fundamental solitude of life and the emptiness of the world. the poems dating from this period are heavily infused with the sentiment of the futility of life. his poems, however, are not simple expressions of bitterness or anger, but are characterized instead, by a bold confrontation with this futility. the poet also removes himself worldly considerations and involvement, thus purifying himself from the transient waves of existence and unveiling aspects of transcendence in harmony with nature. the second period of the poet’s career includes works dating from the 1970s and after, which unburdens itself from the transparent and restrained emotion of his previous poetry to better express the poet’s intense aestheticism. the central characteristics of this period are the desperate resistance shown by even strong men in the face of the death, and the essential futility of mankind magnified by such resistance, and the dramatic expression of human life through the negative influence of superficial vitality. after the mid-1980s, his poetry displays a freedom of spirit that can withdraw and objectively examine the futility of life. he coolly examines the changes within reality and the horror of the world, with a calm composure that boldly accepts these observations. he was educated at merrywood grammar school and durham university. and ordained in 1961. he worked for esso before ordination in 1961. after a curacy in south kirkby he was priest in charge at st ninian, whitby. he was vicar of all saints, chelmsford then of st margaret of antioch, leigh on sea before his years as an archdeacon. nesochoris brachystigma is a species of moth of the family tortricidae. it is found in chile in the juan fernandez islands. the wingspan is 14 mm. the ground colour of the forewings is grey and the hindwings are fuscous, somewhat paler basally. blaga is both a surname and a given name. notable people with the name include: nesochoris holographa is a species of moth of the family tortricidae. it is found in chile's juan fernandez islands. the wingspan is 22 mm. the ground colour of the forewings is greyish, covered with short transverse dashes and small spots of the same colour. the hindwings are light reddish brown, but paler basally. donald lusk (october 28, 1913 – december 30, 2018) was an american animator and director. lusk was born on october 28, 1913, in burbank a suburb of los angeles, california. he served in the united states marines during world war ii. lusk was hired by the walt disney company in 1933 as an inbetweener. he was 20 at the time. his first film as an animator was 1938's "ferdinand the bull" adapted from 1936's the story of ferdinand by author munro leaf. he worked on "pinocchio", "fantasia", "bambi", "song of the south", "melody time", "so dear to my heart", "the adventures of ichabod and mr. toad", "cinderella", "alice in wonderland", "peter pan", "lady and the tramp", "sleeping beauty" and "one hundred and one dalmatians". lusk left disney in 1960, but continued to work as an animator during the 1960s and 1970s. aside from animation, lusk also directed multiple cartoon films and series, including the "peanuts" tv specials and movies and for the hanna-barbera studio. his work at the latter included "the flintstones", "the jetsons", "scooby-doo", "the smurfs", and "tom and jerry". in the early 1990s, lusk retired after a career which spanned some 60 years. lusk married marge lusk, who worked in the personnel department of disney studios in burbank. the couple had two children. he died on december 30, 2018, in san clemente, california, aged 105. long time friend, navah-paskowitz asner, announced the news of his death on social media. ronnie coaches (died 21 november 2013), also known as ronnie, was a ghanaian-born musician and a member of the buk bak hiplife music group. he had his secondary school education in datus complex school. he also had technical training at accra technical training centre (attc). ronnie died on 21 november 2013 at korle bu teaching hospital. eressa multigutta is a moth of the family erebidae. it was described by francis walker in 1854. it is found in tibet, nepal, sikkim and myanmar. grossmont center is an outdoor shopping mall in la mesa, california, united states. opened in 1961, it features macy's, restoration hardware, target, and walmart as its anchor stores. other major tenants include barnes & noble, cost plus world market, and reading cinemas. the mall is managed by cbre group. the mall was built in 1961 by del e. webb construction company, with welton becket and associates as architect. it occupied of land and cost over $20 million to build. at the time, it was the largest development in la mesa's history. marston's (later the broadway) and montgomery ward were the original two anchor stores. marston's, which had a location in downtown san diego, had begun consultations in 1956 to choose the site of the grossmont center store, their first branch location. the store design featured of moldings, gold leaf lettering, murals painted by five artists, and a gothic-style canopy over its entry. other major tenants included longs drugs, a barbershop, several shoe stores, a florist, a fabric shop, a jeweler, and two dime stores: s. h. kress & co. and f. w. woolworth company. fifty thousand people attended the mall's opening ceremonies on october 5, 1961 – 20,000 more than the population of la mesa at the time. present at opening ceremonies were the regional manager of the montgomery ward chain; june wilkinson, a "playboy" model; and several representatives of the marston's chain. by 1965, a 1,000 seat movie theater had been added to the mall. buffum's was added in 1979

is a tram depot in žižkov that has been part of the prague tram network since 1912. the depot celebrated its centenary in 2012. there are seven tram depots in prague (eight if you count the museum in old depot in střešovice, nine if you count workshop depot in hostivař), žižkov is second oldest of those seven. žižkov depot is currently (september 2014) home to 77 tatra t3sucs trams, 6 t3r.pv trams and 41 t6a5 trams which are operated in pairs mostly on tram lines 1, 9, 11, 12, 14, 24 and 25. all t3sucs in prague are supposed to be replaced with a new type of tram - škoda 15t within the next few years. more than a hundred 15t's were delivered (to pankrác and vokovice depot), and many of t3sucs were already put out of service, stored at yard of workshop-depot in hostivař, and offered to purchase. however, due to technical issues of škoda 14t trams which had to be withdrawn from service, some of the old t3sucs are now temporally back. it is not certain yet if žižkov will operate 15t tram instead of t3sucs, or some other depot will get new 15t trams and žižkov will get some older trams from other depots, such as t6a5 from strašnice tram depot or t3r.pv from vokovice tram depot. the t6a5 model is also old and not much prospective; those cars located in žižkov depot were built in 1996 and 1997. elimination of this model is expected since the last of 250 15t's will be delivered

include: the old rathscafé (town council café), now named deutsches haus, is a listed building on the market place ("marktplatz") in bremen, germany. it is part of the monument ensemble no. 1–21. in the middle ages, a municipal wine-house was situated on the corner of bremer marktplatz/liebfrauenkirchhof and obernstrasse. later on, the building was redecorated with a renaissance gable. until the 17th century, the building was used as a wine warehouse. later on it passed into private ownership and was remodeled on several occasions. in 1900, it was used as a lingerie store. thereafter, it was purchased by the city and demolished to provide space for a new building. as the building was situated in the immediate neighbourhood of the town hall, it was decided to launch an architectural competition to attract bids for its reconstruction from throughout germany. the competition was won by the young bremen architect rudolf jacobs. in accordance with his designs, it was reconstructed between 1909 and 1911 as a four-storey building with a saddle roof on the marktplatz which at that time was called kaiser-wilhelm-platz. jacobs succeeded in creating a building which attracted expert attention. the building is an important component of the area's development given its relationship to the marktplatz itself as well as to unser-lieben-frauen-kirchhof, the cemetery located opposite. built in the early 20th century, the building was inspired by the heimatschutzarchitektur and reformarchitektur trends, common in germany at the time. documenting the art and culture of the old town, the group of three gabled houses is decorated both outside and inside with items from excavations, collections and acquisitions. they include the freestone gable decorations, the 18th-century oriel windows, the portals and, inside the building, the 18th-century hallways. the corner house which had been destroyed during the second world war was rebuilt by the construction firm paul kossel in accordance with the plans of the architect herbert anker, closely in line with the original building. after reconstruction, the former rathscafé received the name of deutsches haus. destruction and reconstruction are the central theme of the sandstone reliefs. the interior was changed more extensively in 1956 except for the hall of the house on the corner of hakenstrasse which remained unchanged. it was fitted with a hall from the stövesandt house on the geeren, maintaining its original staircases, doors and parapets with their acanthus carvings, all from 1740. the rooms which previously were called „marktdielen” (market hallways) were now called „bürgerstuben” (citizens' rooms) whereas some rooms maintained the name of „rathsstuben” (council rooms). the „deutsche bruderhilfe” (an organisation that distributed west german donations to the citizens of the german democratic republic) had its office in the building. in 1995, the group of buildings to which the „haus am markt” belonged was completely revitalised by the bremen architect christian bockholt (office bpg). the restaurant rooms in the upper floor which were no longer needed were converted, inter alia, into office floorspaces and apartments. the rooms of „industrie-club bremen e.v.” were renewed at that time and completely modernised, once again, in 2008. the building belongs to the körber-foundation since 2007. the restaurant at the lower floor houses the restaurant „beck's am markt”. an inscription in large letters admonishing words of wilhelm kaisen, was attached to the market side in 1955. in march 2011, the inscription was given as a loan for one year to an exhibition in the haus der geschichte (house of history) in bonn. the coat of arms at the gable is a reproduction of an old original sculpture of the bremen state great coat of arms at the rickmers' estate in horn. the following components of other demolished houses of bremen citizens were reused at the rathscafé: the late renaissance front gate of about 1660 from hakenstrasse 1 was used in 1909; at the market side, the oriel windows of the houses tiefer no. 35 (right side) and hinterm schütting no. 8 (left side); the oriel of the corner house pelzerstrasse no. 6 and brill no. 8; the oriels of the middle house of balgebrückstrasse no. 33; the gable of the corner house of hakenstrasse was taken from wachtstrasse no. 17 after the said house had been demolished in 1894. in 1973, the rathscafé, today named deutsches haus, was designated a historic monument. the building ensemble at the north side of the market place consists of four buildings, from right to left: eriostepta roseireta is a moth of the family erebidae first described by george hampson in 1901. it is found in french guiana, brazil,

their products are based on the results of sports science research carried out by athletes and coaches from the former soviet union, and soviet cosmonaut training technology. in january 2013 they were listed by talouselämä as one of finland’s most promising start-ups. the company began as omegawave sport inc. in portland, oregon, usa, being founded in 1999 by leo maskov, val nasedkin and allen k. huffstutter. the company was renamed omegawave ltd., and moved to finland in 2012 after attracting investment from the finnish innovation fund, sitra, and conor venture partners. the key to omegawave's system is the way the software, developed by vladimir larionov and leonid masakov, interprets electrocardiography (ekg), and a very slow moving♙omega brain wave, and compares them with each other to determine an individual's current physical state. with the move to finland, omegawave also attracted a number of former nokia employees. juha pinomaa, who previously held a number of executive positions at nokia and has also been president of suunto, was advising the company in 2011, and served as the ceo in 2012-2014, followed by gerard bruen, another ex-nokia executive. chairman of the board is anssi vanjoki, former vice ceo of nokia and also chairman of amer sports. two of the founders and original inventors of omegawave’s technology – leo masakov, research director, and val nasedkin, vp business development – also moved to finland and continued working with the new company. omegawave’s products measure and assess the functional readiness of athletes, with the aim of identifying the optimal types and intensities of training and recovery, to improve athletic performance and help avoid injury. the most comprehensive of their products, omegawave team, takes measurements relevant to an athletes physiological condition, including ecg, omega (dc potential of the brain), neuromuscular, and reaction rate measurements, for analysis by their cloud-service. measurements and their results can be taken for a whole team and viewed by a coach locally, or remotely via the company’s cloud-service. they also have a related product for individual athletes called omegawave personal. the measurements are processed by omegawave’s patented cloud-based system to give results and recommendations that the company claims are relevant to the athlete’s cardiac readiness, metabolic readiness, central nervous system readiness, gas exchange readiness, detoxification readiness, and hormonal system readiness. it is from the omega measurement that the company takes its name. dc potentials of the brain are sometimes called omega-potential and the measurement of them is sometimes called omegametry. the need for the product to be non-invasive and non-stressful came directly from the inventors’ experience in soviet athletics teams and the testing methods they used. at that time soviet athletes were tested to assess their condition once or twice a year, with the tests taking place in a hospital. the tests included highly stressful methods such as muscle biopsies and exercising till exhaustion. since the results became available several weeks later, and the athletes took a long time to recover, they were of no practical use to the coaches. the technology and techniques that eventually became omegawave products were therefore designed with the specific purpose of being quick, non-stressful and non-invasive, and to provide results that were easy for coaches to interpret. published studies appear to indicate that these non-invasive methods are, as intended, as reliable as the more invasive methods. lionel messi from fc barcelona, mario balotelli from ac milan, and steven gerrard from liverpool f.c., are known to have used omegawave products to reduce their risk of injury. the russian national triathlon team, the seattle sounders, and the kentucky wildcats are also known to use omegawave products. eriphioides purpurinus is a moth of the subfamily arctiinae. it was described by paul dognin in 1923. it is found in colombia. oded menashe (born 29 september 1969) is an israeli actor, magician and television presenter.

australian hardcore calendar, attracting hundreds of punters each year. the festival began in 2012 as the feature date on the national tour for well-known band trapped under ice. inspiration for the

which the residents claimed to have harmed both them and the local environment. the result of the protest was a clampdown by sierra leonean police and the death of 2 protesters. sierra leoneans had flocked to the country's largest mine after the election of ernest bai koroma in september 2007. on 12 december, the government removed the miners after it was agreed that the miners could keep any diamonds uncovered during their work. on 14 december, local police were ordered into the mine area to protect the koidu holdings company which runs the mine. protesters had gathered at the gate, seeking housing and increased compensation for their sufferings. the police used live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the protesters, killing two and injuring eight others. on the issue of resettlement of displaced villagers, minister of mineral resources alhaji abubakarr jalloh said the "company is relatively slow in building the resettlement". minister jalloh also sought for the miners to leave the area. president koroma temporarily halted diamond mining across the country as a result of the incident. decorative vehicle lighting is lighting which is intended entirely as a decorative or ornamental addition to a vehicle, rather than lighting which is required for safety (i.e. automotive lighting, bicycle lighting, emergency vehicle lighting). blue lights are often prohibited while in motion so that they will not intentionally or unintentionally imitate a police car. recreational vehicles were perhaps the first vehicles to display decorative lighting. while stationary and hooked to mains electricity at a campground, rvs often display festive lighting. this was often strings tiki or other hawaiian-style decorations, or plastic lanterns, lit from the inside by screw-in christmas lights. various miniature lights in non-holiday styles (or patriotic themes for u.s. independence day in the summer) are made, and are often now used on patios in the same way. boats can also be decorated in this way, and some "parades" are actually boats on the water, lit with strings of lights. custom cars sometimes have indirect lighting underneath, glowing a color like green or purple which could not be confused with that of an emergency or other vehicle's normal lighting. these can be provided by strips of tubes of cold-cathode fluorescent lighting, or leds. hubcaps are made which have three strips of multicolor leds along the radius, and rotating with the speed of the car can create full-color motion graphics due to persistence of vision of the human eye. automobiles can also be decorated with christmas lights at christmastime, and powered through an inverter. this can be as simple as a wreath on the front grille, as would be put on the front door of a home. very ornately lit and decorated cars can be considered a form of art car, or christmas light sculpture. decorative lighting can also be used on the inside of a vehicle. light emitting diodes (leds) have become very popular for this purpose because of their low power draw. 12 volt varieties are especially useful for this application. party buses and limos also have decorative lighting too. motorcycle led lighting is a type of accent lighting that motorcycle riders choose to enhance the appearance or look of a motorcycle. motorcycle led lighting is usually made up of led pods or strips, or a combination of both. riders also choose to do this type of enhancement to improve the motorcycle's visibility to other drivers. bicycles are limited to battery power, or that which can be supplied by a small generator. ucd marian is an irish basketball team based in dublin. the team competes in the super league and plays its home games at the ucd sports centre. the team is a division of ucd marian basketball club and is directly associated with the university college dublin. marian basketball club was founded in 1968 when a group of pupils and past-pupils of marian college, ballsbridge entered a team in the dublin minor basketball league. that team included paul meany, ken mcintyre, sean conroy, michael meany and fran ryan. the team won the dublin minor championship, and two years later, the club also entered a team in the dublin senior league. this team absorbed an existing team called the shannon dodgers, which featured dublin-based past pupils of st. marys college, athlone, another marist brothers school. these included bill doyle and lonan mchugo. in 1970, the club won the dublin senior championship with paul meany, ken mcintyre, sean conroy, michael meany and fran ryan all featuring. in 1972, new york native brian berman, who was studying medicine at the college of surgeons, and had played college basketball at columbia university, joined the team. under player-coach paul meany, marian won their first national title, the national cup. in 1973–74, marian entered the inaugural national league with the men's a team in division one and the men's b team in division two. after finishing runners-up behind killester for three straight years between 1975 and 1977, marian were crowned champions of the national league in 1978 after defeating st. vincent's dublin in the final. 1978 also saw marian compete in the federation cup for british and irish teams. the 1979–80 season marked a sea change in irish basketball as it was the first time paid players were recruited from overseas. st vincent's killarney brought over two american players and re-shaped the top flight league. the league brought in regulations to limit the number of foreign born players to two and thus prevent the full professionalisation of the league as had happened in britain. for the 1981–82 season, canadian coach bruce patterson took the reins, while irish international john o'connor joined from killester. tom hinga, a 6'5" forward from colorado, became the first paid player for marian. a mid-table finish in 1982 meant the club had to seriously raise sponsorship and finance to compete in the new semi-professional era. the irish basketball association (iba) promoted a scheme whereby american investors put money into clubs, including marian. george murphy from chicago was the principal investor in the club. the club also acquired sponsorship from yoplait, and as a result, the national league team was called team yoplait for the next four seasons (1982–86). unfortunately, results on court were not so good and the team was relegated from the top flight at the end of the 1982–83 season. team yoplait had a very successful campaign in division two in 1983–84, finishing a close second behind liam mchale's ballina, and winning promotion back to the top flight. with renewed vigour and healthy funding, the club faced into the 1984–85 season with confidence. fran ryan took over as coach, while guard dan trant and forward alvis rogers were brought in. the season came to a disappointing end with team yoplait just missing out on a top four place. more significantly, the club had run up a significant debt and a serious rethink of the viability of the national league team was undertaken in 1985. as a result of a club-structural rethink, the men's national league team was separated from the club, financially and management wise. for the 1985–86 season, mike smith and william milteer were recruited, and yoplait were retained as sponsors. in january 1986, team yoplait reached the semi-finals of the national cup. there they faced the league-leading neptune, but were defeated. the team's league form continued to disappoint, as they battled with ballina and sporting belfast for two relegation spots. a bottom-two finish saw marian relegated for the second time in four seasons. for the 1986–87 season, paul meany came back as coach and fran ryan returned as point guard. at christmas, three players left the squad and seven defeats left marian struggling to make the division two top four playoffs. they were promoted back to the top flight league for the 1987–88 season. in january 2011, ucd marian claimed a historic national cup final win over defending cup champions killester. the win was the team's first major victory since 1978. marian made it back to the national cup final in 2015, where they lost to ucc demons. in january 2018, ucd marian returned to the national cup final, where they were defeated 68–62 by templeogue. two months later, they ended a 40-year championship drought as they were crowned basketball ireland men's super league champions for 2017/18. ranten is a municipality in the district of

although known since 1887, it has only been described from male specimens. the male is very slender. its carapace is orange-red, with a narrow bluish-white, iridescent transverse stripe between the eyes. the robust chelicerae do not point forward. the long scutum of the opisthosoma is dark brown and covered with dense, bronze-colored hairs. the long legs are brownish-yellow, with the first pair,

landrace breeds. this double-coated breed of swedish landrace origin also contains some norwegian spælsau heritage. the purpose of the sheep was to use the long, wavy, and shiny wool to produce rya-wool, which is often used to make carpets. in the early twentieth century, few long wool sheep remained in the province of dalarna, leading to the restoration of the rya sheep breed. in 2000, there was a stable population of about two thousand rya sheep. they can be found in northern and central sweden. most of herds are located in dalarna. they are usually kept in small flocks. at the start of the 20th century, dalarna had a population of sheep with long wool, which was popular in the area for decorating national costumes. in 1915, breeding was done to obtain sheep that produced this "rya-wool". the rya sheep is a medium-sized sheep with relatively short legs, and has strong and shiny long wool fibers. the legs, tail, forehead, cheek, and crown do not have wool. for a three-month-old lamb, the wool can be long, and for an adult, the wool can be up to long. half the fleece should be the hair coat, which should be lustrous with a well-defined, broad crimp. attaining wool fibers of at least 15 cm in length with a maximum crimp of 3 crimps per 5 cm is the breeding goal. the sheep are white, but there are some grey, black, and brown individuals. the adult wither height is 75 cm for rams and 70 cm for ewes. the live weight is 70 kg for rams and 50 kg for ewes. both the rams and ewes are polled and have long tails. the rya sheep is also known to be highly fertile. the mean litter size is 2.1 lambs at birth. the sheep is also characterized by lambing ease and by their ability to forage in rough terrain. mühlen is a municipality in the district of murau

speciality products. the company was founded in 1927 at hamburg, germany. the current pentosin headquarters are at wedel, near hamburg, in the schleswig-holstein region or "bundesländer" of germany, not far from where the company had been founded. the company philosophy is: "quality and continuity". in 1927, heinrich freudenthal formed a family-owned company, deutsche pentosin-werke, creating veterinary and medical products. the high reputation of the products rapidly developed, and by 1935, the company was licensing the production of various pentosin products in other countries, including austria, the czech republic, italy and switzerland. the founder also recognised the need to supply the growing automotive markets, and started development of automotive lubricants and hydraulic brake fluids. around this time, freudenthal recognised that car makers initiated specific product approvals, and pentosin progressed their research and development (r&d) in this direction. pentosin were rewarded with approvals to supply the initial "factory fill", and with the resultant approvals, aftermarket sales progressed in a positive manner. from the outset, freudenthal demanded a key objective of quality in all pentosin products, and this stance still remains today. by the 1960s, pentosin had a "second wind", and the company enjoyed increased success. as product lines developed and increased, the company was starting to outgrow their current facilities, and so in 1960, started development of a new blending plant at dormagen, north rhine-westphalia. in 1972, the company's original site in hamburg was now too small, and so moved to a larger premises, a short distance up the river elbe to their current location of wedel. in 2015, the company was bought by fuchs petrolub se. since then, the pentosin brand continues to be sold alongside fuchs branded products. pentosin produces a wide range of high quality, "original equipment manufacturer" (oem) specified products, as well as aftermarket products. these include automotive lubricants (engine motor oils, and transmission oils/fluids, for motor cars and motorcycles, including synthetic oils), industrial lubricants, and hydraulic products. pentosin products are supplied directly to many different automotive companies, including all marques of the volkswagen group, bmw, daimler ag marques, ford motor company, general motors europe and porsche. pentosin ffl-2 is factory fill for the volkswagen/audi dual-clutch direct-shift gearbox. mariahof is a former municipality in the district of murau in styria,

"theta" was acquired by the admiral david dixon porter, but records of her service are sparse. since she was a tugboat, she probably served that function, as required, at norfolk, virginia. "john t. jenkins", a screw tug, was purchased for the navy by rear admiral david dixon porter on 9 december 1864 at norfolk, virginia, and renamed "theta". acquired late in the civil war, "theta" probably saw little or no service. there are no records of any deck logs for her, and she is mentioned but once in the "official records of the union and confederate navies in the war of the rebellion"—with reference to her purchase. her service—if she served at all—was brief and probably consisted of some variety of yard tug duty at norfolk. she was sold late in 1865—one source indicates that the sale occurred on 17 august 1865—but that transaction remains undocumented. in any event, her name had disappeared from the "list of vessels of the united states navy" by 20 january 1866 when the 1866 navy register was issued. alempois () was a small independent landlocked country in ancient estonia, bordered by harjumaa, järvamaa, nurmekund, sakala, and läänemaa. alempois had an area of approximately 400 hides. in chinese tradition, a ghost marriage () is a marriage in which one or both parties are deceased. other forms of ghost marriage are practiced worldwide, notably in france since 1959 (see posthumous marriage; compare levirate marriage and ghost marriage in south sudan, i.e. marriage to a living relative of the deceased). the origins of chinese ghost marriage are largely unknown, but reports of it being practiced today can still be found. chinese ghost marriage was usually set up by the family of the deceased and performed for a number of reasons, including the marriage of an engaged couple before one member's death, to integrate an unmarried daughter into a patrilineage, to ensure the family line is continued, or to maintain that no younger brother is married before an elder brother. upon the death of her fiancé, a bride could choose to go through with the wedding, in which the groom was represented by a white cockerel at the ceremony. however, some women were hesitant since this form of ghost marriage required her to participate in the funeral ritual, mourning customs (including strict dress and conduct standards), take a vow of celibacy, and immediately take up residence with his family. a groom had the option of marrying his late fiancée, with no disadvantages, but there have been no records of such weddings. when it comes to death customs, an unmarried chinese woman has no descendants to worship her or care for her as part of a lineage. in every household, an altar is prominently displayed with the spirit tablets of the paternal ancestors and the images of the gods. a married woman's tablet is kept at the altar of her husband's family. however, should a woman of eligible age pass away unmarried, her family is prohibited from placing her tablet on the altar of her natal home. instead, she will be "given a temporary paper tablet, placed not on the domestic altar but in a corner near the door." hence, the important duty of chinese parents in marrying off their children becomes increasingly important for their daughters. since women are only able to acquire membership in descent lines through marriage, ghost marriage became a viable solution to ensure that unmarried, deceased daughters still had "affiliation to a male descent line" and could be appropriately cared for after death. another death custom concerning an unmarried daughter prohibited her from dying in her natal home. instead, a temple or "death house" for spinsters was built or families take their daughter to a shed, empty house, or outlying buildings to die. not only did the chinese customs concerning death greatly burden the family, but an unmarried daughter became a source of great embarrassment and concern. in charlotte ikels "parental perspectives on the significance of marriage" she reports, "traditionally, girls who did not marry were regarded as a threat to the entire family and were not allowed to continue living at home. even in contemporary hong kong, it is believed unmarried women are assumed to have psychological problems. presumably no normal person would remain unmarried voluntarily." for girls who choose to remain unmarried, "bride-initiated spirit marriage" (or a ghost marriage initiated by a living bride) was a successful "marriage-resistance practice" that allowed them to remain single while still being integrated into a lineage. however, it did come with some negative connotations, being called a "fake spirit-marriage" or referred to as "marrying a spirit tablet", and a way to avoid marriage. if a son died before marriage, his parents arranged a ghost marriage to provide him with progeny to continue the lineage and give him his own descendants. "a man in china does not marry so much for his own benefit as for that of the family: to continue the family name; to provide descendants to keep up the ancestral worship; and to give a daughter-in-law to his mother to wait on her and be, in general, a daughter to her." occasionally, a live woman is taken as a wife for a dead man, but this is rare. the ceremony itself took on characteristics of both a marriage and a funeral, with the spirit of the deceased bride being "led" by a medium or priest, while her body is transferred from her grave to be laid next to her husband. if the family was "suitably rich to tempt a [living] girl," the ghost marriage might profit them with the asset of having a daughter-in-law. since a daughter is not considered "a potential contributor to the lineage into which she is born," but rather "it is expected that she will give the children she bears and her adult labor to the family of her husband," the wife of a deceased son would benefit her husband's family by becoming a caregiver in their home. once the deceased son had a wife, the family could adopt an heir, or a "grandson", to continue on the family line. the purpose of the daughter-in-law was not to produce offspring, as she was to live a chaste life, but she became the "social instrument" to enable the family to adopt. the family preferred to adopt patrilineally related male kin, usually through a brother assigning one of his own sons to the lineage of the deceased. the adoption was carried out by writing up a contract, which was then placed under the dead man's tablet. as an adopted son, his duties were to make ancestral offerings on his birth and death dates, and he was additionally "entitled to inherit his foster father's share of the family estate." ghost marriages are often set up by request of the spirit of the deceased, who, upon "finding itself without a spouse in the other world," causes misfortune for its natal family, the family of its betrothed, or for the family of the deceased's married sisters. "this usually takes the form of sickness by one or more family members. when the sickness is not cured by ordinary means, the family turns to divination and learns of the plight of the ghost through a séance." more benignly, a spirit may appear to a family member in a dream and request a spouse. marjorie topley, in "ghost marriages among the singapore chinese: a further note," relates the story of one 14-year-old cantonese boy who died. a month later he appeared to his mother in a dream saying that he wished to marry a girl who had recently died in ipoh, perak. the son did not reveal her name; his mother used a cantonese spirit medium and "through her the boy gave the name of the girl together with her place of birth and age, and details of her horoscope which were subsequently found to be compatible with his." because chinese custom dictates that younger brothers should not marry before their elder brothers, a ghost marriage for an older, deceased brother may be arranged just before a younger brother's wedding to avoid "incurring the disfavour of his brother's ghost." additionally, in the days of immigration, ghost marriages were used to "cement a bond of friendship between two families." however, there have been no recent cases reported. if a family wishes to arrange a ghost marriage, they may consult with a matchmaker of sorts: in a cantonese area of singapore "there is in fact a ghost marriage broker's sign hung up in a doorway of a taoist priest's home. the broker announces that he is willing to undertake the search for a family which has a suitable deceased member with a favourable horoscope." others do not use the aid of any priest or diviner and believe that the groom the ghost-bride has chosen "[will] somehow identify himself." typically, the family lays a red envelope (usually used for gifts of money) as bait in the middle of the road. they then take to hiding, and when the envelope is picked up by a passer-by, they come out and announce his status of being the chosen bridegroom. the exchange of bridewealth and dowries between the two families involved in a ghost marriage is quite "variable," and families may exchange both, one or the other, or even just red money packets. there is no standard amount exchanged, but several of janice stockard's informants reported that the groom's family provided the bride with a house. in another reported ghost marriage, the groom's family sent wedding cakes and nt $120 to the bride's family, who returned it with a dowry of a gold ring, gold necklace, several pairs of shoes, and six dresses "all fitted for the use of the groom's living wife." in a ghost marriage, many of the typical marriage rites are observed. however, since one or more parties is deceased, they are otherwise represented, most often by effigies made of paper, bamboo, or cloth. for instance, a ghost couple at their marriage feast, the bride and groom may be constructed of paper bodies over a bamboo frame with a papier-mâché head. on either side of them stands their respective paper servants, and the room contains many other paper effigies of products they would use in their home, such as a dressing table (complete with a mirror), a table and six stools, a money safe, a refrigerator, and trunks of paper clothes and cloth. after the marriage ceremony is complete, all of the paper belongings are burned to be sent to the spirit world to be used by the couple. in another ceremony that married a living groom to a ghost bride, the effigy was similar, but instead constructed with a wooden backbone, arms made from newspaper, and the head of "a smiling young girl clipped from a wall calendar." similarly, after the marriage festivities, the dummy is burned. in both cases, the effigies wore real clothing, similar to that which is typically used in marriage ceremonies. this includes a pair of trousers, a white skirt, a red dress, with a lace outer dress.> additionally, they were adorned with jewelry; though similar in fashion to that of a typical bride's, it was not made of real gold. if a living groom is marrying a ghost bride, he will wear black gloves instead of the typical white. most of the marriage ceremony and rites are performed true to chinese custom. in fact, "the bride was always treated as though she was alive and participating in the proceedings" from being fed at the wedding feast in the morning, to being invited in and out of the cab, to being told of her arrival at the groom's house. one observable difference in a ghost marriage is that the ancestral tablet of the deceased is placed inside the effigy, so that "the bride's dummy [is] animated with the ghost that [is] to be married", and then placed with the groom's family's tablets at the end of the marriage festivities. the

claude austin trevor schilsky (7 october 1897 – 22 january 1978) was a northern irish actor who had a long career in film and television. he played the parson in john galsworthy's "escape" at the world premiere in london's west end in 1926 and was the only member of the cast to transfer to new york city for the broadway production a year later. he was the first actor to play agatha christie's detective hercule poirot on screen in three british films during the early 1930s: "alibi" (1931), "black coffee" (1931) and "lord edgware dies" (1934). he subsequently turned up in a character part in a later poirot adaptation "the alphabet murders" in 1965. he stated that he only got the poirot role because he could speak with a french accent. during the 1960s he worked largely in television, appearing in series such as "the first churchills" in which he played lord halifax. he appeared in an episode of the legal drama "the main chance". he died in bury st. edmunds, suffolk. oberwölz stadt

was a form of temporary accommodation provided for hop-pickers on english farms in the 19th and 20th centuries. before the days of mechanised farming, hop picking was a labour-intensive process, requiring a vastly greater number of people than were available locally. whole families (including children who could have been at school) from london, particularly the south-east and east of london, would leave their homes and spend their time working in the wealden hop-fields of kent, sussex, surrey and hampshire. by the 1870s, the south eastern railway and the london chatham and dover railway were running "hop pickers' specials" to transport londoners to the towns and villages at the start of the season. similar trains were run to serve the pickers in herefordshire and worcestershire. an estimated 250,000 hop pickers from london were travelling to kent by the early twentieth century . in hampshire, some workers came from the portsmouth, southampton and salisbury areas. hopper huts were also provided in herefordshire and worcestershire. workers in these two counties would come from the black country or south wales. the miners from south wales remained at home and carried on working at their pits. accommodation in the early victorian period would be in barns, stables, cattle sheds, pigsties, tents or the roof space of buildings. this led to problems with hygiene and therefore health. an outbreak of cholera killed 43 hop-pickers at east farleigh in september 1849. in 1865, the rev j y stratton began a campaign to improve the conditions of the hop-pickers. also during the 1860s, the rev j j kendon, visiting goudhurst, was appalled at the plight of the hop pickers and began campaigning for improvements. this led to the formation of the "society for employment and improved lodgings for hop pickers" in 1866. the first bylaws covering hop-pickers' accommodation were adopted at bromley in kent under the sanitary acts amendment act, 1874. kendon made his headquarters at curtisden green and by 1889 had a team of over a dozen missionaries. in 1898, father richard wilson, a priest from stepney, london, became curious as to what his parishioners did when they disappeared. he persuaded one family to take him with them. he too was appalled by the conditions the pickers had to live in, but would go with them each year, gradually gaining their trust. from 1897 he rented a cottage at five oak green for 2s.6d a week, furnishing it with cots and providing a nurse. thus, the "little hoppers hospital" was born. it was very busy that year, as there was an outbreak of smallpox. a few years later, he was able to rent a larger cottage. by 1906 most of the districts of kent had laws to similar effect, and many farms had hopper huts by 1914. in 1910, father wilson bought the rose and crown public house in five oak green and turned the building into the "hoppers' hospital". the building bore the legend "e and h kelsey's fine ales, stout and porter sold here" over three lines, to which father wilson simply added the word "not" before the last two words. this hoppers hospital was in operation for over 60 years. the salvation army also used to visit the hop pickers in the fields and attend to their welfare. there was also a hoppers hospital at marden, which was not connected with the one at five oak green. the standard size of a hopper hut was either by or by , though some were as large as by . early huts were of timber, and during the latter half of the 19th century corrugated iron sheets were used to clad them. following the abolition of the brick tax in 1850, brick huts were built. exterior walls were thick and partitions between individual huts 4½" (115mm) thick. during the 1930s and 1940s, some hopper huts were built of by breeze blocks, these being cheap and plentiful after the end of the war. a few huts were made from pre-cast concrete at this time. nissen huts were also used as accommodation for hop-pickers. the huts generally had an earth floor, and were lit by either candles or paraffin lamps. water would be via a standpipe which had to be within and sanitation provided by a dedicated toilet block, usually with an earth closet. there would generally be a dedicated cookhouse which the hop-pickers would use to prepare their meals. it was generally discouraged by the farmers for the pickers to have fires in their huts. a few brick built huts were provided with custom built fireplaces and chimneys. the interior of the huts was generally limewashed or distempered. the furniture within the huts was provided by the pickers. only very basic bedding was provided - hay and ferns, faggots and straw, then faggots and a palliasse. some pickers built themselves basic beds of scrap timber with a palliasse. in the late 1940s and 1950s ex-army steel frame beds were used. george orwell tried his hand at hop-picking at blest's farm, somewhere near west malling, in september 1931, travelling down from london disguised as a tramp. he spent his time living in a hopper hut made of tin (corrugated iron), thus discovering that fruit and hop picking was not quite the idyllic life described by many scholars and writers of the time. orwell earned 9/- in a week, and observed that a family of gypsies who had picked every year since birth earned 14/- each. his account was published in "a clergyman's daughter" in 1935. by the late 1950s, hop-picking was becoming an increasingly mechanised process. this, plus the improvements in sanitation at home, led to a decline in the need for hopper huts. the vast majority of huts today are no more. a few survive derelict or converted to residential or other use. hopper huts can still be seen today at grange farm, tonbridge and downs farm, yalding. a set of hopper huts from north frith farm, hadlow, has been re-erected at the museum of kent life, sandling. these were a row of six huts built of brick under a peg tiled roof, with integral fireplaces. hop picking

holosnub, it is represented by schläfli symbol β{3,4} and coxeter diagram . the triangles in this compound decompose into two orbits under action of the symmetry group: 16 of the triangles lie in coplanar pairs in octahedral planes, while the other 24 lie in unique planes. it shares the same vertex arrangement as a nonuniform truncated octahedron, having irregular hexagons alternating with long and short edges. the icosahedron, as a uniform "snub tetrahedron", is similar to these snub-pair compounds: compound of two snub cubes and compound of two snub dodecahedra. together with its convex hull, it represents the icosahedron-first projection of the nonuniform snub tetrahedral antiprism. cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the permutations of where τ =

change in energy consumption to achieve one per cent change in national gdp"". this term has been used when describing sustainable growth in the developing world, while being aware of the need to maintain the security of energy supply and constrain the emission of additional greenhouse gases. energy elasticity is a top-line measure, as the commercial energy sources used by the country in question are normally further itemised as fossil, renewable, etc. for example, india's national integrated energy policy of 2005 noted current elasticity at 0.80, while planning for 7-8% gdp growth. it expected to be able to reduce this to 0.75 from 2011 and to 0.67 from 2021-22. by 2007, india's ambassador was able to inform the united nations security council that its gdp was growing by 8%, with only 3.7% growth in its total primary energy consumption, suggesting it had effectively de-linked energy consumption from economic growth. china has shown the opposite relationship, as, after 2000, it has consumed proportionately more energy to achieve its high double-digit growth rate. although there are problems with the quality of the estimates of both gdp and energy consumption, by 2003-4 observers placed chinese energy elasticity at approximately 1.5. for every one percent increase in gdp, energy demand grew by 1.5 percent. much of this extra demand has been sourced internationally from fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum. sankt lorenzen bei scheifling is a former municipality in the district of murau in styria, austria. since the 2015 styria municipal

battle of olómpali was fought on june 24, 1846, in present-day marin county, california. it was the only battle of the bear flag revolt. the site is now a part of the olompali state historic park. the skirmish began when a detachment of general josé castro’s alta california army forces from the presidio of monterey, under the command of joaquín de la torre, headed north in reaction to the declaration of an independent california republic in sonoma ten days earlier. near olómpali (north of present-day novato) they met up with a militia group that had set out from sonoma in hopes of rescuing two rebels who had been captured and, as they had learned the previous day, killed. during the bear flag revolt, on june 24, 1846, the battle of olómpali occurred when a violent skirmish broke out between a group of american bear flaggers from sonoma, led by henry ford, and a mexican army force of 50 from monterey, under the command of joaquin de la torre. the opposing forces met at rancho olompali, granted to coast miwok chief camilo ynitia in 1843. on about june 16, william todd was dispatched from sonoma to bodega bay with an unnamed companion to obtain gunpowder from american settlers in that area. on june 18, bears thomas cowie and george fowler were sent to "rancho sotoyome" (near current-day healdsburg, california) to pick up a cache of gunpowder from moses carson, brother of frémont's scout kit carson. on june 20 when the procurement parties failed to return as expected, lieutenant ford sent sergeant gibson with four men to "rancho sotoyome". gibson obtained the powder and on the way back fought with several californians and captured one of them. from the prisoner they learned of the deaths of cowie and fowler. there are californio and "oso" versions of what had happened. ford also learned that william todd and his companion had been captured by the californio irregulars led by juan padilla and josé ramón carrillo. ford then rode toward santa rosa with seventeen to nineteen bears. not finding padilla, the bears headed toward one of his homes near two rock. the following morning the bears captured three or four men near the rancho laguna de san antonio and also found a corral of horses near the indian rancho of olúmpali, near the mouth of the petaluma river, which they assumed belonged to padilla's group. ford approached the adobe but more men appeared and unexpectedly others came "pouring out of the adobe". militiamen from south of the bay, led by mexican captain joaquin de la torre, had joined with padilla's irregulars and now numbered about seventy. ford's men positioned themselves in a grove of trees and opened fire when the enemy charged on horseback, killing one and wounding another. during the ensuing long-range battle, william todd and his companion escaped from the house where they were being held and ran to the bears. the alta california militia disengaged from the long-range fighting after suffering a few wounded and returned to san rafael. an alta californian militiaman reported that their muskets could not shoot as far as the rifles used by some bears. this was the only battle fought during the bear flag revolt. christ lutheran high school is a high school located in buckley, illinois. for the 2011–2012 school year, the enrollment was 26. the school employs three teachers, two support staff, and

(1869 – march 15, 1938) was an american dentist from bridgeport, connecticut, who has been called the founder of the profession of dental hygiene, starting in 1906. fones created the name "dental hygienist" and in 1913 established the first school of dental hygiene. fone's father was also a practicing dentist, and the first "dental commissioner" for the city of bridgeport. alfred fones graduated from the new york college of dentistry in 1890. in 1906 he trained his chairside assistant (and his cousin), irene m. newman, to clean teeth and perform other preventive treatments on children, making her the world's first dental hygienist. newman's training consisted in large part in learning to clean teeth under fones' guidance. for teaching aids, fones took the many extracted teeth from his practice, mounted them in a modeling compound and painted plaster of paris around the neck of each tooth to represent calculus and stains. newman started performing oral prophylaxis for the public in 1907. (she later received the first license as a dental hygienist in connecticut, and she became the first president of the connecticut dental hygienists association; she died november 15, 1958, at the age of 83.) fones once said: "it is primarily to this important work of public education that the dental hygienist is called. she must regard herself as the channel through which dentistry’s knowledge of mouth hygiene is to be disseminated the greatest service she can perform is the persistent education of the public in mouth hygiene and the allied branches of general hygiene." newman's training seemed to help the children, so fones launched a program to make preventive dental treatment available to schoolchildren in bridgeport. in 1913 he established a school for dental hygienists, convincing the bridgeport board of education to help fund the program. although he envisioned dental hygienists in doctors' offices, his primary goal was to have them work in schools. fones raised a total of $46,000 to open the school, which had a first class of 34 women, many of them "mature" women who were school teachers, nurses or doctors' wives. the first classes of the "fones clinic for dental hygienists" were held in a garage behind fones' office in a carriage house at 10 washington avenue in bridgeport. despite the humble location, the school's faculty included the deans of the dental schools of pennsylvania and harvard, seven professors from yale and two from columbia, along with other noted practitioners from the united states and beyond. local dentists and professionals from japan were among the instructors. in june 1915, a total of 27 students graduated from the first class. many graduates went on to jobs with the bridgeport school district, where they played a major part in reducing dental caries in students by 75 percent. some years later, fones suspended operation of the school so that he could devote more time to traveling and lecturing on dental hygiene. eleven years after his death (on march 15, 1938), in 1949, dental professionals and the junior college of connecticut (of which dr. fones had been a trustee) reopened the fones school of dental hygiene. the fones school of dental hygiene is now located at the university of bridgeport. as of 2007 education in the field has expanded, with more than 200 dental hygiene schools and 120,000 registered dental hygienists in the united states alone. the american dental hygienists' association, founded in 1923, bestows the alfred fones award to recognize outstanding achievement and dedication to the dental hygiene profession. the connecticut dental association also has an alfred fones award. the kaashtha sari () is a style of sari draping is very similar to the way the maharashtrian "dhoti" is worn. the word kaashtha refers to the sari being tucked at the back. since this sari is usually worn by using a single nine yard cloth, it is also referred to as nauvari which means nine yards. sakachcha sari is another term commonly used to refer to this style of sari. it is referred to as akanda vastra, which means it doesn't need any other attire to support it. in fact, this attire holds utmost importance as women across different walks of life have worn it. it is not just worn at religious and cultural events, but women have fought wars in the past and still work in farmlands wearing this. it is the traditional marathi style of sari which is worn without a petticoat. this style of sari draping is common among all the castes but the way of draping differs according to the region and topography as well. for example, brahmin women wear it in a particular way which is called as brahmni on the other side aagri people from the raigad district wear it in a knee length fashion is called as 'adwa patal' whereas with a small variation the kunbi or the farmer women of raigad district and some parts of ratnagiri as well wear nineyard which is called as "uprati" .the name uprati means up side down which is because of some folds while draping the saree are up side down. one of the special features of adwa patal and uprati arethat these sarees are draped without tying knots but still the saree is very tightly draped. on contrary to this women from rural puñe and satara ahmed nagar or kolhapur, wear it to the ankle length which is very popular. also, the brahmins wear it in a particular way where the border of the saree is displayed on the front side as well, similar to the kashta on the back side. some details are given below as well. this sari is draped in a way that the center of the sari is neatly placed at the back of the waist and the ends of the sari are tied securely in the front, and then the two ends are wrapped around the legs. the decorative ends are then draped over the shoulder and the upper body or torso. sayali badade, an hr executive said, ""a woman who wore a nauvari was always looked upon with respect. the reason being both the shoulders of the women are covered, and it makes for a completely traditional wear. the style was originally started and popularised from the peshwai reign"". women of the koli tribe also wear this style of sari but cut into two pieces. one piece is worn around the waist while the other piece is used to cover the upper part of the body. it is taken on the head over the left shoulder in the maratha fashion. the koli women are decorative with both dress and ornament and this sari of nine yards of cotton fabric is draped adeptly over the hips so that the figure is graceful in movement. the traditional 'nauvari' retains its charm even in the modern age. also known as 'lugada', this sari is now regularly worn mostly by elderly maharashtrian women. however, in the contemporary fashion, the trend of wearing nine-yard kasta sari is picking up fast in the younger lot that wants to keep the age-old marathi tradition alive. it requires perfect technique, practice and perfection to wear a nine-yard saree. mostly worn in dance competitions, "lavani" and maharashtrian folk dance, the kasta sari has surely made a great come back in the fashion industry. prashant shalgar, a nine-yard kasta sari seller, said, ""it has always been in demand. though earlier only elder generation women would pick up these sarees but now many young girls go for it for its elegant looks. "prashant kolhe, a management executive, said, ""my grandmother used to wear nine-yard saree. it would look great on her. she used to carry it very well. i guess indian sarees are the best fashion wear available on the globe. you cannot look graceful, trendy and comfortable in any other dress." women dabbawalas in mumbai are dressed in nauvari saris. to make the wearing more easy and comfortable, the market is all set to sell stitched kasta sari for those who love drape it. sandhya kenjale, another kasta sari seller, says, ""i started stitching nineyard sarees because i could never drape it properly. for draping a nineyard saree, you should have some guidance for it is a technique to wear it. there are many occasions when women choose to wear nine-yard sarees but the drawback is they do not know the technique. ready-to-wear nine-yard saree is the perfect solution for such problems. just wear it like a salwar put the pallu over the shoulder and you are dressed in few minutes. also, teen-aged girls are seen wearing it in their school or college gatherings. many brides are now taking help of such ready-to-wear nine-yard sarees. with a wide range of them available in the market, buyers have a lot of choice. available in bangalore silk, belgaum silk, pure silk, orissa silk, nine-yard sarees are priced reasonably. ""prashant shalgar added, ""marathi movies are responsible for keeping the traditional wear alive. to make it easy, these sarees are now stitched and sold in the market"". stylist pradnya bhalekar stated, ""you can wear a stitched nauvari like a salwar. it is as simple as wearing your favourite pair of denims. besides, you don't have to worry that the drape might come off"". shobhaa de in her blog told that she suggested to mukesh ambani that the cheerleaders of mumbai indians can wear the traditional nine yard kasta sari and perform dance routines for the local lavani. on the contrary, some consider the kasta sari has fallen out of favour currently. it is considered far too revealing. it is rarely seen in the cities. this type of sari is regularly made fun of in films, portrayed as some sort of "sexy" garment, meant to titillate. in reality the kasta sari embodies freedom for women. in a way it is similar to the dhoti as it allows leg movement and the ankles are left free. but today the kasta sari will only be considered decent if distorted to hide every inch of a woman's body. women adorning kasta saris are seen in some bollywood films, although mostly they are worn in song sequences. generally, in modern bollywood fashion, the pallu is fully wrapped around the waist rather than on the shoulder and to cover the blouse or choli, folded chunri of contrast color is pinned up. also the hairstyle on is step-cut up to shoulder length with smart nose ring or nath and chandrakor bindi. the most famous example of kasta sari in bollywood is the song sequence of "humko aaj kal hai intezaar" in the film "sailaab" (1990) featuring madhuri dixit in a yellow and green kasta sari. another recent example is of kim sharma in the film "tom, dick, and harry" (2006). she played the role of bijlee, a fisherwoman, for which she appeared in kasta saris of different color throughout the entire film. the first look and promos of "agneepath", the 2012 remake of the 1990 hindi film of the same name was released which featured actress katrina kaif dancing for an item song "chikni chameli" in a yellow kasta sari. actress vidya balan dressed in a red kasta sari along with lavani dancers performed live on stage her latest item number "mala jau de" for the audience, from vidhu vinod chopra's upcoming film "ferrari ki sawaari". she told she was inspired from madhuri dixit's performance from sailaab. in 2015, actressess deepika padukone and priyanka chopra featured in nauvari saris for a dance sequence in the film bajirao mastani. anju modi, the costume designer for the film stated, "i do hope that after this movie, the nauvari saree makes a comeback". during 2016, actress nargis fakhri will be seen in a nauvari sari for the film banjo for a dream sequence.

1580 in prague – 1651 in sofia) was a hebraist and rabbinical scholar. she was the daughter of isaac ben simson ha-kohen, and through her mother, vögele, granddaughter of the well-known rabbi of prague, judah loew ben bezalel. her brothers, ḥayyim and naphtali, were also noted rabbis. as a daughter of such a distinguished rabbinical family, she acquired a wide knowledge of hebrew and rabbinical literature, and could often assist rabbis in solving textual difficulties. such erudition was quite uncommon among jewish women of that time, and the memorbuch of worms makes special mention of it ("ḳobeẓ 'al-yad", iii. 15, berlin, 1887). in 1600 she married abraham samuel bacharach, with whom she subsequently went to worms, to where he was called as rabbi. after his death on may 26, 1615, she returned with her son samson and her three daughters to prague, in order to devote herself to the education of her children. eva refused an offer of marriage from isaiah horowitz, then rabbi of prague, who was about to emigrate to jerusalem, although she longed to be in the holy land. when her three daughters were married, she followed her son samson to worms, whither he had been called to take the position of his father; and soon afterward, in 1651, she left for palestine. on the journey, eva bacharach died in sofia, where she was buried with great honor. her grandson, yair bacharach, called his work in memory of her "ḥawwot yair", which, in the usual german pronunciation, might be understood as "eva's jaïr." winklern bei oberwölz is a former municipality in the district

formerly one congress plaza, is a skyscraper in downtown austin, the state capital of texas in the united states. standing 397 feet (121 meters) tall and containing 30 floors, the building is the 17th tallest in austin. the building contains a sunken plaza, which include trees, a food hall, water features, and park benches, as well as the location for the amoa art show. built in 1987, the building was one of the skyscrapers built during the 1970s and 1980s boom austin had at the time, and still is one of austin's most famous buildings. norwest plaza, franklin federal plaza, and one congress

properties of atlanta, georgia. one eleven congress has of space and is one of austin's waterfront skyscrapers. one eleven congress was opened in 1987, developed by dallas-based vantage bros. in a joint venture with austin-based carpenter development and the prospect company of dallas. originally, a 15-story, 20,000 square foot hotel tower was to be built on the northwest side of the building, connected via a glass atrium. the building would have stepped down towards congress avenue creating stairs to the first setback on one eleven congress; this project was put on hold and eventually canceled. in 2017, the building was rebranded to one eleven congress, and the lobby and outdoor plaza were renovated. the lower level of the lobby was transformed into a food hall called "fareground", which features a number of austin-based food vendors, along with a bar. the outdoor plaza was revamped to include astroturf grassy hills, new seating, and native landscaping. the transformation also included a new water feature consisting of a 12 sculptural stainless steel poles, ranging from 20 feet to 30 feet tall. the poles emit a mist that is harvested from the condensation collected from the building's air conditioning system. one eleven congress was designed by the architect victor a. lundy and hks, inc. along with an interior designed by susman tisdale gayle architects. the building's facade is clad in red granite and bronze-tinted glass. designed in a step-like pyramid shape, the tops of each "step" are lined in blue neon lighting, making the building a distinctive addition to the nighttime skyline. the lobby's ceiling is adorned in patterned burmese teak. the building's parking garage, located across brazos street, is connected to the building via a tunnel and includes a baylor scott & white clinic on the ground floor. on the north side of the building is a wells fargo bank branch with drive-thru lanes. curt bogislaus ludvig kristoffer von stedingk (26 october 1746 – 7 january 1837) was a count of the von stedingk family, and a successful swedish army officer and diplomat who played a prominent role in swedish foreign policy for several decades. von stedingk was born in swedish pomerania on 26 october 1746. his father was major kristoffer adam stedingk and his mother was countess kristina charlotta von schwerin, daughter of frederick the great's famous field marshal kurt christoph von schwerin. he married ulrika fredrika ekström and became the father of one son and five daughters, who married into the noble families af ugglas, biörnstierna, von platen, d'otrante and rosenblad; he was the father of the composer maria fredrica von stedingk. during the seven years' war, while sweden was at war with prussia, the 13-year-old curt was an ensign in the personal regiment of the crown prince of sweden. after the war ended, he went to sweden to claim compensation for damage done to his family's estate in pomerania. this goal was not achieved, but von stedingk was introduced to the court and became friends with the crown prince and his brothers. in canada, the lineage continues with baron vicko von stedingk and his bride baroness paula von stedingk. they are landowners with the chestnut park consortium. in 1763, after von stedingk completed his studies at uppsala university, he began his military career, and rose quickly through the ranks in the "royal suédois" regiment in france, which was owned by his friend count axel von fersen. both von stedingk and axel von fersen were both close friends of louis xvi and marie antoinette and spent much time in versailles. by 1788, he had become "colonel en chef", and by 1783, he was in charge of a larger army unit in finland, then an internal part of sweden. during the american revolutionary war, when france sent troops under the command of marquis de lafayette in support of the american colonies, von stedingk went overseas to america in 1779. at siege of savannah in october 1779, he commanded the left column of the attacking force, and planted the american flag on the last line of enemy trenches, but was wounded by enemy crossfire, and forced to retreat, with 20 men, all wounded like he was. for this, he was decorated by the french and received a lifetime pension. he was also recognized as a hero for his acts during the naval battle of grenada fought against vice admiral john byron on 6 july 1779. for his feats in battle, von stedingk was made a member of the society of the cincinnati by george washington in 1783. however, the king of sweden at that time, gustav iii, forbade him to wear the insignia as they were awarded to him by a revolting people. during the russo-swedish war started by king gustav iii in 1788, von stedingk commanded the defence of savolax. his forces repeatedly defeated russian forces that greatly outnumbered the swedes, and von stedingk was promoted to major general. he was ambassador to russia in st. petersburg in two turns – all in all almost 20 years. in the russo-swedish war 1808–1809 he was commander-in-chief in finland, which still belonged to sweden. thanks to his very good standing with the russian imperial family he later managed to alleviate the harsh terms of the peace negotiations when finland was lost to russia. in the battle of leipzig he successfully commanded the swedish troops against napoleon. he was promoted to field marshal. von stedingk died at age 90 in stockholm, and is said to have been mourned by both the king of sweden, at that time, charles xiv john, and the armed forces. geoffrey vi (1 june 1134 – 27 july 1158) was count of nantes from 1156 to 1158. he was also known as geoffrey of anjou and geoffrey fitzempress. born in rouen in 1134, he was the second of the three sons of geoffrey v, count of anjou and empress matilda. his elder brother was king henry ii of england and his younger brother was william fitzempress, count of poitou. it was said that in his will, geoffrey v had stipulated that his second son geoffrey would become count of anjou and of maine if his elder son henry managed to become king of england. in the meantime, he granted geoffrey the castles at chinon, loudun, mirebeau and montsoreau. the body of the count would remain unburied until henry agreed to the terms of the will. the story was reported in contemporary sources only in a minor chronicle in tours; w. l. warren makes the case that the story was invented by geoffrey. thomas k. keefe, however, finds serious fault with warren's argument, arguing that there are no reliable grounds to believe that the story of geoffrey the fair's will is untrue, and considers it likely that henry "usurped" the county of anjou. in march 1152 he attempted to abduct eleanor of aquitaine as she traveled from beaugency to poitiers after her annulment from louis vii of france; she avoided his trap when she was forewarned. he lay in wait at port des piles, near the river creuse, and would have married her had the abduction been successful. in june he allied himself with king louis, the king's brother count robert i of dreux, the count of champagne and the count of blois (the counts of champagne and blois were brothers) when louis attacked normandy as a response to the marriage of henry curtmantle and eleanor of aquitaine, which took place without louis' knowledge. if successful the five of them intended to divide the lands of henry and eleanor amongst themselves. in late 1153 or in 1154 theobald v, count of blois invaded touraine, which henry regarded as his. geoffrey and others were taken captive, and theobald required henry to destroy the castle of chaumount-sur-loire to obtain their freedom. geoffrey accompanied henry and eleanor to england when king stephen died in december 1154. in the summer of 1156 geoffrey was again making trouble for henry and henry laid siege to the castles of chinon, mirebeau, loudun and montsoreau. geoffrey was forced to yield them, and according to some sources he was able to keep loudun. henry gave geoffrey an annuity of £1500 for the other two castles. shortly after that siege ended the people of nantes deposed their count and asked king henry whom they should invite to fill the vacancy. he suggested geoffrey; the offer was made and accepted. geoffrey's county was seized by conan iv of brittany, who subsequently ceded it to henry. geoffrey died suddenly at nantes in 1158. geoffrey was portrayed by actor paul greenwood in the 1978 bbc tv series "the devil's crown", which dramatised the reigns of his brother and nephews in england. with luv' is the first album by the dutch girl group luv', released in august 1978 by phonogram/philips records. it includes the hit singles "my man" (the trio's first record), "u.o.me" (luv's breakthrough in benelux) and the million-seller "you're the greatest lover (a #1 song in a large part of continental europe). a german pressing of this album features trojan horse", a successful european chart topper. in 2006, this lp was reissued in digitally remastered form by universal music netherlands as part of the "completely in luv'" box set. after achieving success on the dutch and flemish charts (with the singles "my man" and "u.o.me") and on the european hit lists (with the single "you're the greatest lover"), phonogram/philips records decided to release luv's first full-length studio album: "with luv"'. production was supervised by hans van hemert with the help of piet souer. van hemert and souer co-wrote all the album's tracks under the pseudonym janschen & janschens with the exception of "don juanito de carnaval" (a cover version of raffaella carrà's 1977 hit, "a far l'amore comincia tu"). the arrangements of the album were inspired by the music styles that were popular on the mainstream music market in the late 1970s: the abba-esque repertoire (especially with "my man" and "dream, dream"), carnival, spanish and latin american music sounds (with "u.o.me" and "don juanito de carnaval"), disco music (with "everybody's shaking hands on broadway") and pop music (with compositions like "you're the greatest lover" and "who do you wanna be"). the lp was released at the hilversum airport on 22 august 1978. all tracks written by hans van hemert and piet souer under the pseudonym 'janschen & janschens' except where noted. philips records re-issued the lp in 1980, after the trio had left the label and was under contract with cnr/carrere records. this pressing was part of the 'success series', a re-issue of popular albums from the philips back catalogue. "with luv"' was remastered and reissued in 2006 as part of the "completely in luv'" box set with the same track listing and three bonus tracks: additional personnel: luv' was a more successful band on the singles charts (at a time when it was significant for the music industry) than on the album charts because the trio's first fans were, in the late 1970s, were mainly teenagers (known to be vinyl singles buyers). "with luv"' went platinum in the netherlands and reached the silver status in denmark. list of united states business school rankings is a tabular listing of some of the business schools and their affiliated universities located in the united states that are included in one or more of the rankings of full-time master of business administration programs. rankings are typically published by magazines or websites. this list is not a comprehensive list of business schools in the united states. these rankings are a subset of college and university rankings. business schools are university-level institutions generally affiliated with a university or college that produces students who attain business administration degrees. most of the schools listed in the rankings below are accredited by the association to advance collegiate schools of business. some of the publications shown here have related rankings for undergraduate, part-time and executive curricula. there is currently some controversy among faculty and administrators in american institutions of higher education regarding the request by the surveyors to have college presidents give their subjective opinion of other colleges because some of the methodologies are deemed misleading and a disservice. this has resulted in a movement surrounding the president's letter. most modern university ranking systems are comparably young. the origins of ranking educational institutions based on their academic and other performance are usually traced back towards the end of the 19th / the beginning if the 20th century. business school rankings are important to the various business schools because they are an important marketing tool used to recruit top students, and lure recruiters from the top companies. business schools attempt to achieve higher rankings in order that they may obtain the top students who will over the course of their careers most likely benefit the school by achieving high ranking positions, attaining great influence, and accumulating great wealth. such students often are able to help other students attain better (higher paying, more respected and more influential) jobs. students use the rankings to choose their school, and creators of the rankings produce them to aid in this decision. more than half of recruiters said they believe the quality of mba graduates is the same or better currently compared with past years. some of the most renowned schools, such as harvard and stanford, do not rank as highly as their stature might suggest. recruiters complain that they often find graduates of some of the most famous institutions more arrogant and less collegial than the mbas they meet at other schools. recruiters also noted that "some of the large, elite schools also don't seem to enjoy as many close, personal relationships with recruiters as smaller mba programs do." the rankings are based on a variety of factors such as standardized test scores of students, salary of recent graduates, survey results of graduates and/or recruiters, the specific schools that choose to participate in a market survey, the number of top companies recruiting at the school and a variety of attributes. the ratings vary significantly by method used to determine the success of each program. for instance, the "forbes" and "financial times" results are based on long-term graduate career progress concerns, the "bloomberg businessweek" and "economist" polls evaluate short-term experiences of the students with their program, "u.s. news & world report" consider the recent experiences of recruiters with the program, and other rankings like the aspen institute "beyond grey pinstripes" measure integration of sustainability material into business programs. the following is a short summary of the different recognized rankings: the "u.s. news & world report" uses a combination of the objective and subjective as well. the magazine seeks "expert opinion about program quality and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research, and students." however, it ranks a broad spectrum of professional school programs such as business schools, law schools, and medical schools as well as a variety of programs specific academic disciplines such as the social sciences or humanities. the business opinion data incorporates responses from deans, program directors, and senior faculty about the academic quality of their programs as well as the opinions of professionals who actually do the hiring of the new mba graduates from the schools. the statistical data combines measures of the qualities of the incoming students and as well as the faculty with measures of post graduate success as related to their degrees. there were 382 programs that responded out of 402 solicited, and the formula used a strict combination of quality assessment (40%), placement success (35%), and student selectivity (25%). the "bloomberg businessweek" rankings, which are based on three sources of data (a student survey, a survey of corporate recruiters, and an intellectual capital rating), are published in mid-october of even numbered years. the 2006 student survey of 45 online questions of students' ratings of their programs was distributed to 16,595 students three weeks before graduation; there were 9,290 responses. the recruiter survey determines how many mbas a recruiter's company hired in the previous two years and which schools it actively recruits from. 223 respondents participated out of 426 solicited. the intellectual capital is determined based on a formula incorporating academic publications in journals, books written, and faculty size. the "forbes magazine" methodology was to calculate a five-year return on investment for 2002 graduates. "forbes" surveyed 18,500 alumni of 102 mba programs and used their pre-enrollment and post-graduate business school salary information as a basis for comparing post-mba compensation with the cost of attending the programs. the economist intelligence unit, the business information arm of the economist group, gathered results from two internet questionnaires, one of business schools and one of their students and recent graduates, and used them to rate business schools located all over the world. information provided by the schools made up 80% of the ranking, with student and alumni responses accounting for only 20%. factors in the evaluation included faculty:student ratio, gmat scores of incoming students, student body diversity, foreign languages offered, percentage of graduates finding jobs within three months after graduation, percentage of graduates finding jobs through the school's career service, graduates' salaries and the comparison of pre-enrollment and post-graduation salaries, and student/alumni evaluations of the program, facilities, services, and alumni network. results were tabulated using a smoothing method incorporating the three previous years' results. the organization used strict data provision thresholds, with the result that some highly regarded schools were omitted from the list of 100 ranked schools. the "financial times" poll was the result of over 10,000 respondents to nearly 23000 electronic questionnaires of alumni from 155 qualifying business schools. the survey began in july 2006 and all internationally accredited programs that are at least five years old and that have produced at least 30 graduates in each of the last three years were solicited. 113 of the 155 had at least 20 respondents and at least a 20 percent response rate. the questionnaire used twenty criteria in three main areas. the poll actually presents all twenty criteria to the reader. eight criteria are based on alumni responses; eleven criteria are based on business school responses, and the final criterion is based on a research index produced by the "financial times". the survey responses are audited by kpmg. the "financial times" has also produced a "ranking of rankings" summarizing five of the individual rankings ("the economist", "bloomberg businessweek", "wall street journal", "forbes", "financial times"). they produce united states, and european summary rankings based on all five and a global summary ranking using the "wall street journal", "economist" and "financial times". the summary is based on underlying polls in which a school placed in the top ten using an average of the ordinal placements. the summary excludes the "u.s. news & world report" results. the "academic ranking of world universities" includes every institution that has any nobel laureates, fields medals, and highly cited researchers. in addition, major universities of every country with significant amount of papers indexed by science citation index-expanded (scie) and social science citation index (ssci) are also included. having alumni of an institution winning nobel prizes in economics since 1951 attributes 10% of the score. staff of an institution winning turing awards in computer science since 1961 contributes 15% of the score. highly cited researchers in economics/business category get 25% weighting. papers indexed in ssci in economics/business fields gets 25%. finally, the percentage of papers published in top 20% journals of economics/business fields to that in all economics/business journals gets 25% weighting. rankings based on attributes other than standardized test scores, salary of graduates, and similar attributes also exist. the "beyond grey pinstripes" ranking, compiled by the aspen institute and published biannually, is based entirely on the integration of social and environmental stewardship into university curriculum and faculty research. data for this survey is solicited from university administrators at accredited colleges, and audited by teams of ph.d. scoring fellows. rankings are calculated on the amount of sustainability coursework made available to students (20%), amount of student exposure to relevant material (25%), amount of coursework focused on stewardship by for-profit corporations (30%), and relevant faculty research (25%). the 2011 survey and ranking include data from 150 universities. the ranking of business schools has been discussed in articles and on academic websites. critics of ranking methodologies maintain that any published rankings should be viewed with caution for the following reasons: in the specific case of mba programs, one study found that ranking mba programs by a combination of graduates' starting salaries and average student gmat score can duplicate some of the ranking order found in top 20 lists of business week and u.s. news & world report. the historical rankings of the top mba programs show little variation, even over a long time period. in 1977, "mba magazine" surveyed business schools deans to come up with a ranking which listed the wharton school, harvard business school, stanford graduate school of business, the booth school of business, and the mit sloan school of management as their top 5. these schools plus the kellogg school of management have always comprised the top 5 schools in every u.s. news & world report ranking. with the addition of columbia business school, these seven schools which are most frequently listed at the top of various rankings (and are the top seven worldwide in the business insider ranking) have been referred to as "america's seven most powerful schools". below all schools that ranked on any of the lists below are ordered alphabetically and presented with their numerical rankings in the respective lists. the following abbreviations are used in the column headings: usn - "u.s. news & world report", bw - "bloomberg businessweek", ec - "the economist", ft - "financial times", bi - "business insider", qs - "quacquarelli symonds" and arwu - "academic ranking of world universities". turley richards (born richard turley, june 12, 1941) is an american singer and guitarist. richards was born in charleston, west virginia, united states. he was blinded in the left eye at the age of four in an archery accident and lost sight in the right eye as well at the age of twenty-nine. he began playing in a group called the five pearls while still a teen in the 1950s. his first appearance on record was in 1959, a single titled "all about ann", released on label fraternity records. "makin' love with my baby", also released by fraternity records, followed later that year. richards is listed in the rockabilly hall of fame as a rockabilly legend for this song. he moved to los angeles with an ensemble in the early 1960s, but his band failed and he returned to west virginia. later in the 1960s he moved to new york city. he played the uptown east side local bar's (malachy's ii) and eventually found success. he released his debut album on warner bros. records in 1970. he scored two minor hit singles in the early 1970s. further releases followed later in the decade, as did a third hit in 1980. richards made the first recording of tom snow and nan o'byrne's "you might need somebody", which was subsequently a uk hit twice, reaching number 11 for randy crawford in 1981 and number 4 for shola ama in 1997. the 2007 amílcar cabral cup was held in bissau, guinea bissau at the estádio nacional 24 de setembro and estádio lino correia from 30 november until 10 december 2007. the winner was mali, which beat cape verde 2-1 to win the tournament. "after the draw in 90', they immediately went into penalty shootout. no extra time was played." "match was abandoned at 0–0 in 30' due to power failure." henry heinz (1844–1919) is the founder of h. j. heinz company. henry heinz may also refer to: restorative practices is a social science that studies how to improve and repair relationships between people and communities. the purpose is to build healthy communities, increase social capital, decrease crime and antisocial behavior, repair harm and restore relationships. it ties together research in a variety of social science fields, including education, psychology, social work, criminology, sociology, organizational development and leadership. the social science of restorative practices offers a common thread to tie together theory, research and practice in diverse fields such as education, counseling, criminal justice, social work and organizational management. individuals and organizations in many fields are developing models and methodology and performing empirical research that share the same implicit premise, but are often unaware of the commonality of each other's efforts. for example, in criminal justice, restorative circles and restorative conferences allow victims, offenders and their respective family members and friends to come together to explore how everyone has been affected by an offense and, when possible, to decide how to repair the harm and meet their own needs. in social work, family group decision-making (fgdm) or family group conferencing (fgc) processes empower extended families to meet privately, without professionals in the room, to make a plan to protect children in their own families from further violence and neglect or to avoid residential placement outside their own homes. in education, circles and groups provide opportunities for students to share their feelings, build relationships and solve problems, and when there is wrongdoing, to play an active role in addressing the wrong and making things right. these various fields employ different terms, all of which fall under the rubric of restorative practices: in the criminal justice field the phrase used is “restorative justice”; in social work the term employed is “empowerment”; in education, talk is of “positive discipline” or “the responsive classroom”; and in organizational leadership “horizontal management” is referenced. the social science of restorative practices recognizes all of these perspectives and incorporates them into its scope. the use of restorative practices has the potential to: the notion of restorative practices evolved in part from the concept and practices of restorative justice. but from the emergent point of view of restorative practices, restorative justice can be viewed as largely "reactive", consisting of formal or informal responses to crime and other wrongdoing after it occurs. "restorative practices" also includes the use of informal and formal processes that precede wrongdoing, those that proactively build relationships and a sense of community to prevent conflict and wrongdoing. restorative practices has its roots in restorative justice, a way of looking at criminal justice that emphasizes repairing the harm done to people and relationships rather than only punishing offenders. in the modern context, restorative justice originated in the 1970s as mediation or reconciliation between victims and offenders. in 1974 mark yantzi, a probation officer, arranged for two teenagers to meet directly with their victims following a vandalism spree and agree to restitution. the positive response by the victims led to the first victim-offender reconciliation program, in kitchener, ontario, canada, with the support of the mennonite central committee and collaboration with the local probation department. the concept subsequently acquired various names, such as victim-offender mediation and victim-offender dialogue as it spread through north america and to europe through the 1980s and 1990s. restorative justice echoes ancient and indigenous practices employed in cultures all over the world, from native american and first nations to african, asian, celtic, hebrew, arab and many others. eventually modern restorative justice broadened to include communities of care as well, with victims’ and offenders’ families and friends participating in collaborative processes called conferences and circles. conferencing addresses power imbalances between the victim and offender by including additional supporters. the family group conference (fgc) started in new zealand in 1989 as a response to native māori people’s concerns with the number of their children being removed from their homes by the courts. it was originally envisioned as a family empowerment process, not as restorative justice. in north america it was renamed family group decision making (fgdm). in 1991 the fgc was adapted by an australian police officer, terry o’connell, as a community policing strategy to divert young people from court, into a restorative process often called a restorative conference. it has been called other names, such as a community accountability conference and victim-offender conference. in 1994 marg thorsborne, an australian educator, was the first to use a restorative conference in a school. a "circle" is a versatile restorative practice that can be used proactively, to develop relationships and build community or reactively, to respond to wrongdoing, conflicts and problems. circles give people an opportunity to speak and listen to one another in an atmosphere of safety, decorum and equality. the circle process allows people to tell their stories and offer their own perspectives. the circle has a wide variety of purposes: conflict resolution, healing, support, decision making, information exchange and relationship development. circles offer an alternative to contemporary meeting processes that often rely on hierarchy, win-lose positioning and argument. circles can be used in any organizational, institutional or community setting. circle time and morning meetings have been widely used in primary and elementary schools for many years and more recently in secondary schools and higher education. in industry, the quality circle has been employed for decades to engage workers in achieving high manufacturing standards. in 1992 yukon circuit court judge barry stewart pioneered the sentencing circle, which involved community members in helping to decide how to deal with an offender. in 1994 mennonite pastor harry nigh befriended a mentally challenged repeat sex offender by forming a support group with some of his parishioners, called a circle of support and accountability, which was effective in preventing re-offending. the term restorative practices, along with terms like "restorative approaches", "restorative justice practices" and "restorative solutions", are increasingly used to describe practices related to or derived from restorative conferences and circles. these practices also include more informal practices (see restorative practices continuum). use of restorative practices is now spreading worldwide, in education, criminal justice, social work, counseling, youth services, workplace, college residence hall and faith community applications. the social discipline window is a concept with broad application in many settings. it describes four basic approaches to maintaining social norms and behavioral boundaries. the four are represented as different combinations of high or low control and high or low support. the restorative domain combines both high control and high support and is characterized by doing things "with" people (collaboratively), rather than "to" them (coercively) or "for" them (without their involvement). the social discipline window also defines restorative practices as a leadership model for parents in families, teachers in classrooms, administrators and managers in organizations, police and social workers in communities and judges and officials in government. the fundamental unifying hypothesis of restorative practices is that “people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes when those in positions of authority do things "with" them, rather than "to" them or "for" them.” this hypothesis maintains that the punitive and authoritarian "to" mode and the permissive and paternalistic "for" mode are not as effective as the restorative, participatory, engaging "with" mode. the social discipline window reflects the seminal thinking of renowned australian criminologist john braithwaite, who has asserted that reliance on punishment as a social regulator is problematic because it shames and stigmatizes wrongdoers, pushes them into a negative societal subculture and fails to change their behavior. the restorative approach, on the other hand, reintegrates wrongdoers back into their community and reduces the likelihood that they will reoffend. restorative practices are not limited to formal processes, such as restorative conferences or family group conferences, but range from informal to formal. on a restorative practices continuum, the informal practices include "affective statements" that communicate people's feelings, as well as "affective questions" that cause people to reflect on how their behavior has affected others. "impromptu restorative conferences", "groups" and "circles" are somewhat more structured but do not require the elaborate preparation needed for formal conferences. moving from left to right on the continuum, as restorative practices become more formal, they involve more people, require more planning and time, and are more structured and complete. although a formal restorative process might have dramatic impact, informal practices have a cumulative impact because they are part of everyday life. the aim of restorative practices is to develop community and to manage conflict and tensions by repairing harm and building relationships. this statement identifies both proactive (building relationships and developing community) and reactive (repairing harm and restoring relationships) approaches. organizations and services that only use the reactive without building the social capital beforehand are less successful than those that also employ the proactive. the ayacucho municipality is one of the 29 municipalities that makes up the western venezuelan state of táchira and, according to a 2007 population estimate by the national institute of statistics of venezuela, the municipality has a population of 60,454. the town of colón is the municipal seat of the ayacucho municipality. the ayacucho municipality, according to a 2007 population estimate by the national institute of statistics of venezuela, has a population of 60,454 (up from 50,992 in 2000). this amounts to 5.1% of the state's population. the municipality's population density is . the mayor of the ayacucho municipality is gabino paz guerrero, re-elected on october 31, 2004 with 47% of the vote. the municipality is divided into three parishes; ayacucho, rivas berti, san pedro del río. the royal palace of geguti () is a georgian medieval royal palace, now in ruins, at the homonymous village, 7 km south of the city of kutaisi, georgia. the ruins of the geguti palace complex occupy the area of over 2,000 m along the rioni river. an extensive fieldwork between 1953 and 1956 allowed the specialists to stratify the principal archaeological layers and reconstruct the architectural form and decoration of the medieval edifices bulk of which dates to the 12th century, the period when the first written mention of geguti appears in the georgian chronicle. the earliest structure – a plain, one-room building with a large fireplace – dates back to the 8th/9th century. a principal part of the royal complex, commissioned by king george iii of georgia (), is a four-tier brick edifice built onto a three-metre high stone plinth, with its spacious, cruciform central hall surmounted by a dome 14 m in diameter resting on squinches. the entire building is walled and fortified with massive pillars. westerly located additional structures and a palace church are of a later period, dating to the 13th/14th century. the importance of the ruins of the geguti palace is emphasized by its largely secular nature as most of the surviving monuments of medieval georgian architecture are churches and monasteries. records of medieval secular patronage (basically palaces with extensive decorative cycles) exist in the georgian written sources, although only the shells of castles and the ruins of geguti survive to testify the extent of the work produced. the main complex of the geguti royal palace was constructed during what is considered to be medieval georgia's "golden age". although the georgian court was quite mobile, the establishment of a royal palace of this scale near the kingdom’s second capital and a major cultural center can be understood as the desire to establish a more settled, regal court, and royal bureaucracy which, indeed, reached its climax under the queen regnant tamar (r. 1184-1213). the geguti palace frequently features in the georgian annals as a beloved place of rest of the georgian royalty. in the reign of tamar, it was the place where her former husband, prince yuri bogolyubsky, was crowned by the rebellious nobles during an abortive coup against the queen in 1191. in 2016, a glass panel installation was erected, surrounding the ruins, to show visitors the complete original shape of the monument. drożyna is a village in the administrative district of gmina radwanice, within polkowice county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. it lies approximately north of radwanice, north-west of polkowice, and north-west of the regional capital wrocław. the village has a population of 80. west union is an unincorporated community in washington county, oregon, united states. founded in 1851, the community had the first school district in the county, and it contains the oldest cemetery in the state and the oldest baptist church west of the rocky mountains. it is located north of hillsboro near the intersection of west union road and cornelius pass road north of the sunset highway. the name comes from a grove of five oak trees that was used as a meeting place of early settlers, or the "union of the west." west union had a post office from 1874 to 1894. as defined by the county, the community is located south of west union road and north of the sunset highway (u.s. route 26). the eastern boundary is cornelius pass road. west union is situated on small hills and flat plains with dawson creek and waible gulch draining the area, both part of the drainage area of the tualatin river. the community is located above sea-level. the general community of west union encompasses a larger area that includes areas to the north and east of the county-defined community area. since 1983, portions of the community planning area have been annexed into the city of hillsboro. the population in 1983 was 35 people. there is no community government for west union. the community is served by clean water services for municipal sewer, and fire protection is provided by washington county fire district 2. west union lies within district 4 of the washington county board of commissioners and is represented by andy duyck. municipal water service is available from the tualatin valley water district. west union started the first school district in washington county. the first meeting of the school board was on november 12, 1851. school district no. 1 was directed by david thomas lenox, james w. chamberlain, and caleb wilkens, and the school was built on the land claim of the holcomb family. classes began in october 1852 after a school was completed on may 17, 1852. miss e. h. lincoln was paid $100 for a 12-week term to be the first teacher at the school. in 1892, the original school was replaced; this second building remained in use until 1949. the current school building opened in 1948. the school district was merged into the hillsboro school district in 1996. liberty high school was built in the area in 2003. west union baptist church was founded in 1844 and the current building was completed in 1853, making it the oldest baptist church west of the rocky mountains. the adjoining cemetery is the oldest in the state. the church was listed on the national register of historic places in 1974. melsbroek air base is a belgian air component facility in steenokkerzeel, northeast of brussels, the capital of belgium. it is located on the northern side of the same site as brussels airport, with which it shares runways and ground and air control facilities. the 15th air transport wing operates from melsbroek air base with following types: the aerodrome was created by german military during world war ii. melsbroek also was operated by the rcaf (royal canadian air force) and the raf during world war ii (after the 1944 liberation) when it was known as b58 melsbroek. operation bodenplatte, the german aerial attack of 1 january 1945, hit melsbroek hard. according to emil clade (leading iii./jg 27), the aaa positions were not manned, and aircraft were bunched together or in lines, which made perfect targets. the attack caused considerable damage among the units based there and was a great success. the recce wings had lost two entire squadrons worth of machines. no. 69 squadron raf lost 11 vickers wellingtons and two damaged. possibly all no. 140 squadron raf′s mosquitoes were lost. at least five spitfires from no. 16 squadron raf were destroyed. no. 271 squadron raf lost at least seven harrow transports "out of action". a further 15 other aircraft were destroyed. 139 wing reported five b-25s destroyed and five damaged. some 15 to 20 usaaf bombers were also destroyed. another source states that 13 wellingtons were destroyed, as were five mosquitoes, four auster and five avro ansons from the tactical air forces 2nd communications squadron. three spitfires were also lost and two damaged. at least one raf transport command douglas dakota was destroyed. after the war, melsbroek replaced haren airfield as the belgian national airport. that title is now carried by the zaventem terminal on the same aerodrome, built for the 1958 world exposition. at that time, the existing terminal was taken over by the then belgian air force. when trans european airways existed, its head office was in building 117 of melsbroek airport. when citybird existed its head office was in building 117d. jaworów is a village in the administrative district of gmina wiązów, within strzelin county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. prior to 1945 it was in germany. it lies approximately east of wiązów, east of strzelin, and south-east of the regional capital wrocław. business agility refers to the "ability of a business system to rapidly respond to change by adapting its initial stable configuration". it can be sustained by maintaining and adapting goods and services in meeting customer demands, adjusting to the changes in a business environment, and taking advantage of available human resources. in a business context, agility is the ability of an organization to rapidly adapt to market and environmental changes in productive and cost-effective ways. an extension of this concept is the agile enterprise which refers to an organization that uses key principles of complex adaptive systems and complexity science in achieving success. business agility is the outcome of organizational intelligence. the agile enterprise strives to make change a routine part of organizational life to reduce or eliminate the organizational trauma that paralyzes many businesses attempting to adapt to new markets and environments. because change is perpetual, the agile enterprise is able to nimbly adjust to and take advantage of emerging opportunities. the agile enterprise views itself as an integral component of a larger system whose activities produce a ripple effect of change both within the enterprise itself and the broader system. enterprise architecture as a discipline supports business agility through a wealth of techniques, including layering, separation of concerns, architecture frameworks, and the separation of dynamic and stable components. the model of hierarchical complexity—a framework for scoring the complexity of behavior developed by michael commons and others since the 1980s—has been adapted to describe the stages of complexity in enterprise architecture. one type of enterprise architecture that supports agility is a non-hierarchical organization without a single point of control. individuals function autonomously, constantly interacting with each other to define the vision and aims, maintain a common understanding of requirements and monitor the work that needs to be done. roles and responsibilities are not predetermined but rather emerge from individuals' self-organizing activities and are constantly in flux. similarly, projects are generated everywhere in the enterprise, sometimes even from outside affiliates. key decisions are made collaboratively, on the spot, and on the fly. because of this, knowledge, power, and intelligence are spread through the enterprise, making it uniquely capable of quickly recovering and adapting to the loss of any key enterprise component. in business, projects can be complex with uncertain outcomes and goals that can change over time. traditionally these issues were dealt with by planning experts that would attempt to pre-determine every possible detail prior to implementation; however, in many situations, even the most carefully thought out projects will be impossibly difficult to manage. agile techniques, originating from the software development community, represent an alternative approach to the classic prescriptive planning approaches to management. the main focus of agile methods is to address the issues of complexity, uncertainty, and dynamic goals, by making planning and execution work in parallel rather than in sequence to eliminate unnecessary planning activity, and the resulting unnecessary work. pragmatic methods for achieving organizational agility should start from organization's competitive bases and organization's mission, vision, and values. agile methods integrate planning with execution allowing an organization to "search" for an optimal ordering of work tasks and to adjust to changing requirements. the major causes of chaos on a project include incomplete understanding of project components, incomplete understanding of component interactions and changing requirements. sometimes requirements change as a greater understanding of the project components unfolds over time. requirements also change due to changing needs and wants of the stakeholders. the agile approach allows a team or organization of collective trust, competence and motivation to implement successful projects quickly by only focusing on a small set of details in any change iteration. this is in contrast to non-agile in which all the details necessary for completion are generally taken to be foreseeable and have equal priority inside of one large iteration. a concept of "agility" as an attribute of business organizations arose in response to the requirements of the modern business to operate in predictable ways even in the face of extreme complexity. in particular, software development organizations have developed a specific set of techniques known as agile methods to address the problems of changing requirements, uncertain outcomes due to technological complexity, and uncertain system dynamics due to overall system complexity. some of the ideas that have shaped thinking in the agile community arose from the studies of complexity science and the notion of complex adaptive systems (cas). as with complex adaptive systems, the outcomes or products of agile organizations such as software teams are inherently unpredictable yet will eventually form an identifiable pattern. despite their unpredictability, agile enterprises are thought to be best positioned to take advantage of hypercompetitive external environments. agile enterprises exist in corporate (e.g. w. l. gore & associates and oticon), non-profit (e.g., alcoholics anonymous), community (e.g., wikipedia, the burning man festival) and even terrorist (e.g. al qaeda) environments. interactions, self-organizing, co-evolution, and the edge of chaos are concepts borrowed from complexity science that can help define some of the processes that take place within an agile enterprise. "interactions" are exchanges among individuals etc. holding a common vision and possessing the necessary resources, behaviors, competence and experience in aggregate. they are an important driving force for agile enterprises, because new ideas, products, services, and solutions emerge from the multiple exchanges happening over time. the interactions themselves, rather than individuals or the external environment, are significant drivers of innovation and change in an agile enterprise. "self-organizing" describes the spontaneous, unchoreographed, feedback-driven exchanges that are often found within agile enterprises. vital initiatives within the agile enterprise are not always managed by one single person—rather all parties involved collectively make decisions without guidance or management from an outside source. the creativity and innovation that arises from this self-organizing process gives the agile enterprise an edge in developing (and redeveloping) products, services, and solutions for a hypercompetitive marketplace. "co-evolution" is a key process through which the enterprise learns from experience and adapts. the agile enterprise is constantly evolving in concert with (and in reaction to) external environmental factors. products and services are in a constant state of change, because, once launched, they encounter competitors' products, regulators, suppliers, and customer responses that force adaptations. in one sense, nothing is ever completely "finished", although this does not mean that nothing is ever made, produced, or launched. the "edge of chaos" is a borderline region that lies between complete anarchy or randomness and a state of punctuated equilibrium. the agile enterprise ideally operates in this region, needing the tension between constant change and the constraints that weaken change efforts to keep the organization perturbed enough for innovation and success. in other words, the edge of chaos is the space in which self-organizing and co-evolution flourish. there are several key distinctions between the agile enterprise and the traditional bureaucratic organization. the most notable is the agile enterprise's use of fluid role definitions that allow for dynamic decision making structures. unlike the rigid hierarchies characterizing traditional bureaucracies, organizational structures within agile enterprises are more likely to fluidly adapt to changing business conditions into structures that support the current direction and any emergent competitive advantage. similarly, agile enterprises do not adhere to the concept of sustained competitive advantage that typifies the bureaucratic organization. operating in hypercompetitive, continuously changing markets, agile enterprises pursue a series of temporary competitive advantages—capitalizing for a time on the strength of an idea, product, or service then readily discarding it when no longer tenable. lastly, the agile enterprise is populated with individuals pursuing serial incompetence—they work hard to obtain a certain level of proficiency in one area but are driven to move on to the next "new" area to develop expertise. there are no "subject-matter experts" specializing for years in one topical area, as found typically in a traditional bureaucracy. although agile enterprises by definition include numerous, constantly co-evolving and moving parts, they do require some structure. the enterprise must develop specific structures (also called system constraints) to serve as a counterbalance to randomness and anarchy, keeping the enterprise optimally functioning on the edge of chaos. these structures—including a shared purpose or vision, resource management aids, reward systems, and shared operating platforms—often emerge from three key organizational processes: strategizing, organizing, and mobilizing. strategizing is an experimental process for the agile enterprise, in which individuals repeatedly generate ideas (exploration), identify ways to capitalize on ideas (exploitation), nimbly respond to environmental feedback (adaptation), and move on to the next idea (exit). organizing is an ongoing activity to develop structures and communication methods that promote serial execution. it often includes defining a shared vision, as well as systems and platforms, that ground the enterprise. mobilizing involves managing resources, ensuring the fluid movement of people between projects, and finding ways to enhance internal and external interactions. typically, enterprise values, personal accountability, and motivational and reward systems are a key output of this process. "institutes and research centers" "journals" veitsch is a former municipality in the district of bruck-mürzzuschlag in styria, austria. since the 2015 styria municipal structural reform, it is part of the municipality sankt barbara im mürztal. starting from the local church in veitsch, a forest trail leads up the mountain to the veitsch pilgrims cross on the mount of olives. the cross was built in 2004 and it is the largest of its kind in the world. miechowice oławskie is a village in the administrative district of gmina wiązów, within strzelin county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. prior to 1945 it was in germany. the chester a. congdon was a bulk steel freighter named after the lawyer and capitalist of the same name. it was launched in 1907 and sank on november 6, 1918 in lake superior near isle royale. the wreckage remains at the bottom of the lake, and in 1984 was placed on the national register of historic places. the "chester a. congdon" (official number 204526) was constructed in 1907 by the chicago ship building co. of south chicago illinois under the name "salt lake city" for holmes steamship company of cleveland, ohio. the ship was 552 feet long, having a 56-foot beam and 26 foot draft, with a gross tonnage of 6530 tons and a net tonnage of 4843 tons. the ship was powered by a 1,765hp triple expansion steam engine with two scotch boilers. in 1911, the "salt lake city" was sold to the acme transit company of ohio. in early 1912, the ship was purchased by the continental steamship company and renamed the "chester a. congdon", after the duluth, minnesota lawyer and industrialist chester adgate congdon. the ship's record was largely uneventful, but it was grounded twice, once in 1912 and once in 1915. on november 6, 1918, the "congdon" departed from thunder bay, ontario with 380,000 bushels of wheat aboard. later that day, the "congdon" ran aground in the fog at canoe rocks, near isle royale, which were subsequently renamed congdon shoal. the captain immediately dispatched a boat to nearby passage island to request assistance and sent a second boat back to thunder bay. all crew members were rescued, and an attempt to salvage the cargo resulted in only about 20% being saved. a storm on november 8 broke the freighter in two, and it sank. although another salvage operation was mounted later in 1918, nothing more was recovered from the wreck. the "congdon" is significant in that her wreck was the first on lake superior to be valued at over a million dollars, and was the largest loss up to that time in both dollar value and net tonnage. the wreckage of the "congdon" sits in 50–200 feet of water, with the bow section on the south side of the reef and the stern on the north side. the stern section is in considerably deeper water than the bow, and represents a more technical dive. the bow section of the "congdon" sank upright, and the pilot house on the bow is still intact, a relatively rare occurrence. many of the ship's furnishings were salvaged while the ship was still on the reef. approximately 160 dives were made to the "congdon" in 2009 out of 1062 dives made to wrecks in the isle royale national park. ganz was a municipality in austria which merged in january 2015 with mürzzuschlag in the district of bruck-mürzzuschlag in styria, austria. kapellen is a former municipality

severn (james alexander philip theo mountbatten-windsor; born 17 december 2007), is the younger child and only son of prince edward, earl of wessex, and sophie, countess of wessex, and the youngest grandchild of queen elizabeth ii and prince philip, duke of edinburgh. he is 12th in line of succession to the british throne. james was born by caesarean section at 16:20 utc on 17 december 2007, at frimley park hospital. the names james alexander philip theo were announced on 21 december. he was baptised on 19 april 2008, in the private chapel of windsor castle by david conner, the dean of windsor and his godparents were alastair bruce of crionaich, duncan bullivant, thomas hill, denise poulton and jeanye irwin. he wore a newly made replica of the royal christening gown originally used by victoria, the eldest daughter of queen victoria, in 1840. it has been worn for most royal christenings since then, and the original gown has now been preserved. in april 2015, james and his sister participated in their first overseas engagement. they accompanied their parents on a trip to south africa. letters patent issued in 1917 assign a princely status and the style of royal highness to all male-line grandchildren of a monarch. therefore, all else being equal, james would have been styled as "his royal highness prince james of wessex". however, when his parents married, the queen, via a buckingham palace press release, announced that their children would be styled as the children of an earl, rather than as princes or princesses. thus, as is customary for the eldest son of an earl, court communications refer to him as "viscount severn", which is one of his father's subsidiary titles. the title viscount severn acknowledges the welsh roots of the countess's family: the river severn rises in wales. in june 2008, to recognise a visit by his father to the canadian province of manitoba, the lieutenant governor of manitoba-in-council named a lake in the north of the province after james. przedmoście () is a village in the administrative district of gmina środa śląska, within środa śląska county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. prior to 1945 it was in

insurance and finance union (bifu) was a british trade union. the union was founded in 1946 as the national union of bank employees (nube), when the bank officers' guild and the scottish bankers' association merged. in 1979, it was renamed the banking, insurance and finance union. in 1999, it merged with the natwest staff association and the barclays group staff union to form unifi. by the time of its merger, the union had 113,000 members, in national and international banks, the bank of england, insurance companies, building societies, finance houses and the financial services authority. it was affiliated to the trades union congress. the kent fortress royal engineers (kfre) was a volunteer territorial unit of the british army that saw service in both world wars. they are notable for their successful actions in may 1940, when they destroyed substantial oil stocks and installations just ahead of the german advance, and in august 1944 during the assault crossing of the river seine. when the territorial force was created in 1908, the 1st sussex royal engineers (volunteers) were split up to provide the kent and sussex fortress engineers, as well as the field companies of the home counties division. the kent fortress royal engineers was formed on the basis of k company of the 1st sussex at tonbridge. by the outbreak of world war i, the kent unit had the following organisation: the honorary colonel was sir david salomons, 2nd baronet shortly after the outbreak of war on 4 august 1914, tf units were invited to volunteer for overseas service. meanwhile, the formation of a reserve or 2nd line unit was authorised for each 1st line unit where 60 per cent or more of the men had volunteered for overseas service. the titles of these 2nd line units would be the same as the original, but distinguished by a '2/' prefix. all the kfre units were initially employed on the thames estuary defences, but in june 1915 1/1st–1/3rd works companies left and were converted to field companies for service overseas; 1/6th and 1/7th companies also formed field companies that served in home defence. 4th and 5th el companies appear to have remained in the thames defences throughout the war. in june 1915 this company left, and on 23 september it embarked for the gallipoli. on arrival at suvla bay on 7 october it was attached to the 2nd mounted division. the division was evacuated to egypt in december and broken up in january 1916. the field company was then attached to 54th (east anglian) division in the suez canal defences on 1 july. the company was redesignated 495th (1st kent) field company on 1 february 1917. in march it advanced with 54th division into palestine and fought in the first and second battle of gaza. it joined 75th division on 7 august 1917 and served with it during the third battle of gaza but returned to the 54th in may 1918 when the 75th was partly indianised. 495th company remained with 54th division for the final advance in palestine (the battle of megiddo). 495th company was demobilised during 1919. 1/2nd field company also embarked on 23 september and joined 2nd mounted division at suvla. after evacuation to egypt it was posted to the suez canal defences, took part in the senussi campaign, and was redesignated 496th (2nd kent) field company on 1 february 1917. it joined the newly formed 74th (yeomanry) division on 24 march 1917. on 25 may the company was transferred to 53rd (welsh) division and then transferred again on 4 july to 75th division. unlike 495 company, it remained with 75th division until the end of the war, operating alongside two companies of queen victoria's own madras sappers & miners of the indian army. 496th company began demobilisation in february 1919. the 1/3rd field company was largely recruited from tonbridge and the surrounding villages. on 13 october 1915 the company left its depot at gillingham and proceeded to devonport where the boarded the troopship "scotian" bound for gallipoli via mudros. on arrival at mudros on 27 october the troops were transferred to the auxiliary minesweeper hms "hythe" to be landed at suvla bay the following morning. in the early hours of 28 october the "hythe" was involved in a collision with the much larger troopship "sarnia". the "hythe" sank within minutes, taking down most of its crew and passengers. the company lost its officer commanding, capt d.r. salomons (only son and heir of the honorary colonel), and 128 other ranks, almost all recruited from the tonbridge area. the survivors (4 officers and 78 other ranks) were picked up by the "sarnia" and returned to mudros. on 20 november, the company (now reduced to 4 officers and 78 other ranks) re-embarked and landed the same day at cape helles, where it was attached to 52nd (lowland) division. on the night of 7/8 january 1916, 52nd division was evacuated from helles and withdrawn to egypt. here the 3rd kent field company transferred to the 29th division, which proceeded to the western front in march. on the first day of the batte of the somme the company was attached to one of the attacking brigades, but continuing work on communications and water supply meant that only a small portion of the company went into action. the company later participated in the battles of arras, 3rd ypres, cambrai, lys, and finally the hundred days offensive. it became 495th (3rd kent) field company on 1 february 1917, and had been disbanded by mid-march 1919. with the further expansion of the army the kent fortress re organised the 1/6th and 1/7th kent fortress companies to which the cinque ports fortress royal engineers also contributed personnel. in late 1916 the 1/6th and 1/7th were converted to field companies and had joined 73rd division by 22 november. 73rd division was a newly organised home service formation concentrating at blackpool. once organised, the division moved in january 1917 into essex and hertfordshire to form part of southern army (home forces); the engineers were stationed at witham and chelmsford. the two field companies were numbered 546th (1/6th kent) and 547th (1/7th kent) in february 1917. 73rd division's main role was to train and physically condition men for drafting as reinforcements for units serving overseas. by the end of 1917 the division's infantry battalions had largely completed their task and been replaced by training units, whereupon the division was broken up as a home defence formation. 546th and 547th field companies were redesignated army troops companies and embarked for the western front on 22 june 1918, landing at le havre the following day, and working in the third army and fourth army areas respectively from 7 july. the two companies were engaged in engineering works associated with the rapid advance of the british expeditionary force in the final months of the war. 546 company had transferred to fourth army by the time of the armistice, while 547 company moved to vi corps in september and to third army by november 1918. 546th and 547th army field companies were disbanded in france on 4 june 1919 and 1 may 1919 respectively. the 2/1st, 2/2nd, 2/3rd, 3/1st, 3/2nd and 3/3rd kent fortress companies later formed a holding and training company, which was numbered 499th (home counties) field company (alternatively referred to as 499th (kent) reserve company). 2/6th company later became 579th (kent) works company, while 2/7th company became an hq and deport company for the kfre, and was later numbered as 580th (thames & medway) fortress company. 2/4th company became 598th (kent) works company, later 598th (thames & medway) works company, and after the remaining tf personnel had been demobilised in 1919 was used to reform the regular army 39th fortress company, re, at sheerness. the kent fortress royal engineers may also have been the parent for 599th (thames & medway) fortress company. the kent fortress re was not reformed in the territorial army immediately after the war, but was recreated in 1932 by major (later brigadier) clifford brazier, the works manager of bevans cement works (later blue circle cement company) at northfleet, and largely recruited from his employees. the new unit consisted of nos 1, 2 and 3 electric light and works companies. personnel from the kfre appear to have provided the basis for 347 (kent) anti-aircraft searchlight company, re, formed at sidcup in 29th (kent) anti-aircraft battalion, re, in october 1937. in april 1939, 347 company became part of (and gave its name to) a new 73rd (kent fortress) aa battalion. on the outbreak of war in 1939, one of the war stations of the northfleet section was to man the 120 cm searchlights at coalhouse fort at east tilbury on the north bank of the thames estuary. these new remote-controlled 'fighting lights' installed on the north caponier of the fort were powered by hornsby engines and enabled the fort's 6-inch coast defence guns to fire at night. anti-aircraft searchlights were also installed at the fort. in may 1940, the german army invaded the netherlands and belgium. the british military authorities were determined that the large oil installations at the major ports should not fall into enemy hands. the kfre were despatched in secrecy on 11 may to amsterdam to negotiate with the local commanders and destroy the installations and the large oil stocks and assist with dockyard demolitions; these were called "xd operations". they were successful in spite of the lack of planning and specialised equipment. after amsterdam, detachments carried out more oil demolitions at rotterdam and antwerp, and assisted with the evacuation of 40 tons of dutch gold from rotterdam. at times they exchanged fire with german advance patrols. the german advance continued into france, and kfre were sent to destroy the oil depots along the lower seine. initial, but understandable, french reluctance dissipated as the germans reached the area, and the installations at rouen, le havre and honfleur were all destroyed. in addition, a large british military fuel dump near saint-nazaire was destroyed. a british general ordered that no demolition was to be done at a refinery at donges; the supplies were subsequently thought to have been used to re-fuel u-boats. as an afterthought, detachments were sent to destroy smaller depots at dunkirk, boulogne and calais. these were abortive, however; those at dunkirk were destroyed by german bombs, calais' facilities were unapproachable due to the heavy fighting and boulogne, in fact, had none. further oil demolition operations were attempted at caen, cherbourg and st malo, but only st malo was successful. the installations near caen were captured before the british arrival, and the french authorities prevented demolition at cherbourg; kfre assisted with the general harbour demolitions there. although these actions remained secret at the time, there was official appreciation. at the time, the kfre became the most highly decorated unit in the british army. major brazier received an obe, three officers (captains r keeble, t f tgoodwin and b baxter) received dsos, second lieutenant b j ashwell received the mc. a dcm was awarded to corporal j t hearnden and three ncos (staff sergeant a h smart, sergeant a r blake and corporal j matthews) received military medals. during the british evacuations from western france (operation ariel), the final kfre detachment lost seven men on the "lancastria" when it was sunk at st nazaire. one more went "missing, presumed dead" during the destruction of the british dump near st nazaire and another died of wounds sustained at boulogne. there was concern that the germans might attempt to capture the large british-owned oilfield at kirkuk in northern iraq. although far from the war zones, the germans were interested in the region. there were pro-nazi factions in iraqi politics, german aircraft had reached baghdad via vichy syria (see anglo-iraqi war), and some german special forces had been planning to establish bases in the kirkuk area using aircraft from kampfgeschwader 200, a specialist unit. an officer from the kfre was despatched there with some urgency to review the situation. apart from three wells needed to supply the british eastern fleet, all the wells were filled with concrete and drilling rigs were removed. local management had already made adequate plans to render the pipelines useless to the enemy. in september 1940 the kfre was organised into 582 and 583 army field companies and joined by 584 (from the suffolk fortress re) and 297 field park company (a london re unit) to form kent corps troops royal engineers (ctre). after helping the construction of coastal defences against the anticipated german invasion, and clearing up and making safe bomb damage in london, the new unit was moved to a camp near portadown, northern ireland as iii (kent) ctre. the time was spent on training exercises and assisting in belfast after the city had been bombed. opportunities were taken – out of uniform – to spend weekend leave in dublin, in neutral ireland, and sample peacetime life. the norwegian northern islands of spitsbergen were inhabited by russian and norwegian miners who exploited the rich coal seams there. a party of four officers and 30 other ranks from iii ctre was sent as part of operation gauntlet to destroy the coal mines and stockpiles and deny their use to the germans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1aifeyibm0 and a former canadian actress, tv host and beauty pageant

she later represented canada at the miss universe 2013 competition in moscow, russia. she represented the philippines for miss global 2019 at mexico and was placed 3rd runner up. the advanced distributed learning (adl) initiative is a us government program that conducts research and development on distributed learning and coordinates related efforts broadly across public and private organizations. adl reports to the deputy assistant secretary of defense for force education and training in the us department of defense (dod). although it is a dod program, adl serves the entire us federal government, operates a global partnership network including international defense ministries and us-based academic partners, and collaborates closely with industry and academia. adl advises the dod and us government on emerging learning technologies, best practices for improving learning effectiveness and efficiency, and methods for enhancing interoperability. notable adl contributions to distributed learning include the sharable content object reference model (scorm), experience api (xapi), and the dod instruction 1322.26. the adl initiative traces its antecedents to the early 1990s, when congress authorized and appropriated funds for the national guard to build prototype electronic classrooms and learning networks to increase personnel's access to learning opportunities. by the mid-1990s, dod realized the need for a more coordinated approach, and the "1996 quadrennial defense review" formalized this by directing development of a department-wide strategy for modernizing technology-based education and training. this strategy became the original adl initiative, and in 1998, the deputy secretary of defense directed the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness (usd(p&r), in collaboration with the services, joint staff, under secretaries of defense for acquisition and technology and the comptroller), to lead adl. the deputy secretary of defense also directed the usd(p&r) to produce the department-wide policy for advanced distributed learning, develop a corresponding “master plan” to carry out the policy, and to ensure sufficient programs and resources were available for the associated implementation (see the 1999 adl strategic plan in appendix 1 for more details). by 1998, the dod and other federal agencies (e.g., the department of labor) had each established their own adl projects, and the office of science and technology policy (ostp) moved to consolidate these via the federal training technology initiative. thus, following guidance from congress, ostp, and the national partnership for reinventing government, the dod adl initiative was grown into a federal-wide program. specific direction for this can be found in section 378 of public law 105-261, the "strom thurmond national defense authorization act for fiscal year 1999", which required the secretary of defense to develop a strategic plan for expanding distance learning initiatives, as well as "executive order 13111" (president william j. clinton, 12 january 1999). the executive order, titled “using technology to improve training opportunities for federal government employees,” established a task force and advisory committee to explore how federal training programs, initiatives, and policies can better support lifelong learning through the use of learning technologies and to provide learning standards, specifications, and applications which can be sustained and extended to incorporate new technologies and learning science as they occur. shortly after president clinton signed "executive order 13111", the pentagon released the "department of defense strategic plan for advanced distributed learning" (april 30, 1999) and the corresponding "department of defense implementation plan for advanced distributed learning" (may 19, 2000). this strategy empowers the adl initiative to: since its inception in the 1990s, the adl initiative has achieved several notable milestones, including the development of scorm, adl plugfests, xapi, and the total learning architecture. more information about the history and products of adl can be found in the adl-sponsored book, "learning on demand: adl and the future of e-learning", published in 2010. the adl initiative reports to the deputy assistant secretary of defense for force education and training, who reports to the assistant secretary of defense for readiness, who in turn reports to the under secretary for personnel and readiness (within the office of the secretary of defense. "adl initiative directors" adl uses the term “distributed learning” broadly, to refer to all network-centric learning technologies and their corresponding best practices for their use. similarly, adl uses the term “learning” to include education, training, operational performance support, and other forms of ad hoc, just-in-time, or self-directed learning. within these topical areas, adl conducts research and development (budget area 6.3, advanced technology development), facilitates coordination, and assists with the implementation of emerging science and technologies. more precisely, adl's work emphasizes the following six areas: [7] when adl was established, the use of learning management systems (lmss) was increasing rapidly, but the content delivered through those systems remained separated (locked into silos). for example, while the navy and army have standard courses with similar content, that content could not be shared and reused from one service to another because their lmss would not allow it. the silo’d nature of content delivered through lmss was not cost efficient, and became one of adl's first challenges to tackle resulting in the development of the scorm (sharable content object reference model). scorm, which integrates a set of related technical standards, specifications, and guidelines designed to meet high-level requirements—accessible, reusable, interoperable, and durable content and systems is arguably one of adl's most well known projects. scorm content can be delivered to learners via any scorm-conformant lms using the same version of scorm. due to the department of defense instruction (dodi) 1322.26, scorm is a mature technology which has been widely adopted. in 2011, adl recognized the need for a software specification that tracks learning experiences that occur outside of a lms and a web browser. as a result, adl issued a broad agency announcement (baa) asking for assistance in improving scorm. the baa was awarded to rustici software, a nashville-based software company experienced with scorm. rustici software conducted numerous interviews with the e-learning community to determine where improvements needed to be made and developed the research version of the experience api specification as a result. this process was called project tin can. the moniker “tin can api” was derived from project tin can. when version 1.0 was officially released in april 2013, the specification was dubbed “xapi” but by that time, some people already knew the specification by the original moniker. the experience api (xapi) allows the capture of big data on human performance, along with associated instructional content or performance context information. xapi applies “activity streams” to tracking data and provides sub-apis to access and store information about state and content. this enables nearly dynamic tracking of activities from any platform or software system—from traditional lmss to mobile devices, simulations, wearables, physical beacons, and more. under delegated authority, adl stewards dodi 1322.26, “development, management, and delivery of distributed learning.” this dodi provides guidance to support implementation of dod directive (dodd) 1322.18, “military training.” survivor is the american version of the international "survivor" reality competition television franchise, itself derived from the swedish television series "expedition robinson" created by charlie parsons which premiered in 1997. the american series premiered on may 31, 2000, on cbs. it is hosted by television personality jeff probst, who is also an executive producer along with mark burnett and original creator, parsons. the television show places a group of strangers in an isolated location, where they must provide food, fire, and shelter for themselves. the contestants compete in challenges for rewards and immunity from elimination. the contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted out by their fellow contestants, until only one remains and is given the title of "sole survivor" and is awarded the grand prize of us$1,000,000. the american version has been very successful. from the 2000–01 through the 2005–06 television seasons, its first eleven seasons (competitions) rated among the top ten most watched shows. it is commonly considered the leader of american reality tv because it was the first highly rated and profitable reality show on broadcast television in the u.s., and is considered one of the best shows of the 2000s (decade). the series has been nominated for several emmy awards, including winning for outstanding sound mixing in 2001, outstanding special class program in 2002, and was subsequently nominated four times for outstanding reality-competition program when the category was introduced in 2003. probst won the award for outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program four consecutive times after the award was introduced in 2008. in 2007, the series was included in "time" magazine's list of the 100 greatest tv shows of all time. in 2013, "tv guide" ranked it at #39 on its list of the "60 best series of all time". season 39, "", premiered on september 25, 2019. the series' 40th season "" is set to premiere on february 12, 2020, during the 20th anniversary of the show. the first u.s. season of "survivor" followed the same general format as the swedish series. sixteen or more players, split between two or more "tribes", are taken to a remote isolated location (usually in a tropical climate) and are forced to live off the land with meager supplies for 39 days (42 in ""). frequent physical and mental challenges are used to pit the teams against each other for rewards, such as food or luxuries, or for "immunity", forcing the other tribe to attend "tribal council", where they must vote off one of their tribemates. signaling the halfway point in the game, survivors from both tribes come together to live as one, making it to the "merge". at this point, survivors will compete against each other to win individual immunity; winning immunity prevents that player from being voted out at tribal council. most players that are voted out after the merge form the game's "jury". once the group gets down to three people, a final tribal council is held where the remaining players plead their case to the jury members. the jury then votes for which player should be considered the "sole survivor" and win the show's grand prize. in all seasons for the united states version (excluding the 40th "survivor: winners at war" season), this has included a $1-million prize in addition to the sole survivor title; some seasons (particularly earlier seasons) have included additional prizes offered during the game, such as a car, as well as fan-favorite prizes awarded at the finale. all contestants are paid on a sliding-scale based on the order they were voted out: the first player voted out has been given and the amount increases from there. some of the seasons that have featured returning players have increased these amounts: "survivor all-stars" featured payouts starting at , while "winners at war" had a minimum payout. all players are offered for participating in the finale show. the u.s. version has introduced numerous modifications, or "twists", on the core rules in order to keep the players on their toes and to prevent players from relying on strategies that succeeded in prior seasons. these changes have included tribal switches, seasons starting with more than two tribes, the ability to exile a player from a tribe for a short time, unannounced returning players, hidden immunity idols that players can use to save themselves or others at tribal council, special voting powers which can be used to influence the result at tribal council, chance to return to regular gameplay after elimination through the "redemption island," "edge of extinction" or "the outcast tribe" twists, and a final four fire-making challenge as of season 35. the united states version is produced by mark burnett and hosted by jeff probst. each competition is called a season, has a unique name, and lasts from 13 to 16 episodes. the first season, "", was broadcast as a summer replacement show in 2000. starting with "", there have been two seasons aired during each u.s. television season. in the first season, there was a 75-person crew. by season 22, the crew had grown to 325 people. a total of 590 contestants have competed on "survivor"s 39 seasons. the original idea of "survivor" was developed by charlie parsons in 1994 under the name "castaway". parsons formed planet24 with bob geldof to produce the show and tried to have the bbc broadcast it, but the network turned it down. parsons went to swedish television and was able to find a broadcaster, ultimately producing "expedition robinson" in 1997. the show was a success, and plans for international versions were made. mark burnett intended to be the person to bring the show to the united states, though he recognized that the swedish version was a bit crude and mean-spirited. burnett retooled the concept to use better production values, based on his prior "eco-challenge" show, and wanted to focus more on the human drama experienced while under pressure. burnett spent about a year trying to find a broadcaster that would take the show, retooling the concept based on feedback. on november 24, 1999, burnett made his pitch to les moonves of cbs, and moonves agreed to pick up the show. the first season, "", was filmed during march and april 2000, and was first broadcast on may 31, 2000. the first season became a ratings success, leading to its current ongoing run. the american version of "survivor" has been shot in many locations around the world since the first season, usually favoring warm and tropical climates. starting with , two seasons have filmed back-to-back in the same location, to be aired in the same broadcast year. since , the show has filmed in the mamanuca islands of fiji. since "the australian outback", the announcement of each season's winner and subsequent reunion have been broadcast live in front of a studio audience, usually alternating between the ed sullivan theater in new york city (home to the cbs' "late show" franchise) and cbs television city or the cbs studio center in los angeles. "survivor" has consistently been one of the top 20 most watched shows through its first 23 seasons. probst acknowledged that kelly kahl, the current president of cbs, had been a significant proponent of the show. when "survivor" had launched, kahl, then vice-president of scheduling, took a risk and moved the show's second season to thursdays in competition with nbc's "friends". "survivor" won viewership numbers over "friends", giving kahl significant sway within cbs to continue supporting "survivor". seasonal rankings (based on average total viewers per episode) of the united states version of "survivor" on cbs. "note": each u.s. network television season starts in late september and ends in late may, which coincides with the completion of may sweeps. at the end of each u.s. "survivor" season from "" onward, various "survivor" props and memorabilia are auctioned online for charity. the most common recipient has been the elizabeth glaser pediatric aids foundation. most recently, proceeds have gone toward the serpentine project, a charity founded by jeff probst, dedicated to helping those transitioning out of foster care upon emancipation at 18 years of age. items up for auction have included flags, mats, tree mails, contestant torches, contestant clothing, autographed items, immunity idols and the voting urn. the success of "survivor" spawned a wide range of merchandise from the very first season. while early items available were limited to buffs, water bottles, hats, t-shirts, and other typical souvenir items, the marketability of the franchise has grown tremendously. today, fans can find innumerable items, including computer and board games, interactive online games, mugs, tribal-themed jewelry, beach towels, dog tags, magnets, multi-function tools, dvd seasons, "survivor" party kits, insider books, soundtracks, and more. seasons 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were released in stores. the remaining seasons have been released exclusively on amazon.com through their createspace manufacture on demand program. select seasons have also been released on blu-ray. all seasons are available on cbs all access, the network's over-the-top subscription streaming service in both the united states and australia (where the service is branded as 10 all-access - due to the service's affiliation to the cbs owned network 10). in the 2001 pc video game "", developed by magic lantern and published by infogrames, it allows players to play and create characters for the game based on the borneo or australian outback cast members. the game also includes a character creation system for making custom characters. gameplay consists of choosing survivors' skills (fishing, cooking, etc.), forming alliances, developing relationships with other tribe members, and voting off competitors at tribal council. the game was very poorly received by critics. gamespot gave the game a 'terrible' score of 2.0 out of 10, saying "if you're harboring even a tiny urge to buy this game, please listen very carefully to this advice: don't do it." likewise, ign gave the game a 'painful' 2.4 out of 10, stating "it is horribly boring and repetitive. the graphics are weak and even the greatest survivor fan would break the cd in two after playing it for 20 minutes." the game was the recipient of game revolution's lowest score of all time, an f-. an 'interactive review' was created specially for the game, and features interactive comments like "the survival periods are about as much fun as" followed by a drop-down menu, "watching paint dry/throbbing hemorrhoids/staring at air/being buried alive." on november 4, 2009, it was announced that a second video game adaptation would be released for the wii and nintendo ds. the game would require players to participate in various challenges like those in the reality shows in order to win. various soundtracks have been released featuring music composed by russ landau, including soundtracks for seasons 9 through 27 (with the exception of season 14). the tiki twirl thrill ride at california's great america in santa clara, california was originally called "survivor: the ride". the ride includes a rotating platform that moves along an undulating track. riders can be sprayed by water guns hidden in oversized tribal masks. theme elements included drums and other familiar survivor musical accents playing in the background, survivor memorabilia throughout the queue and other merchandise for sale in nearby gift shops. gmina platerówka is a rural gmina (administrative district) in lubań county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland, on the czech border. its seat is the village of platerówka, which lies approximately south-west of lubań, and west of the regional capital wrocław. the gmina covers an area of , and as of 2006 its total population is 1,751. gmina platerówka is bordered by the town of lubań and the gminas of leśna, lubań, siekierczyn and sulików. it also borders

death drummer mick harris in 1987. mitch harris was the guitarist, bassist and vocalist while mick harris was the drummer and vocalist as well, until mick left the group shortly after their first album "purity dilution" was released. before defecation started, mick was the drummer for napalm death, and mitch was the guitarist for righteous pigs. the two were pen pals and decided to start the project. they formed defecation in 1987 and released "purity dilution" on nuclear blast records in 1989. shortly after the release of "purity dilution", mick left the band, as well as napalm death in 1991. mitch harris and jesse pintado joined napalm death, and defecation was put on hold for a while. fourteen years after the first album was recorded, mitch made the second album completely by himself, entitled "intention surpassed". in 2019, spanish fraud label metal bastard enterprises used the band's name and logo to promote a musically unrelated scam artist's album named "killing with kindness"; the album was marketed by the label as defecation's new album, tricking many fans into acquiring it, to extremely negative reception. mitch harris latter issued a statement on napalm death's facebook page in which he confirmed that neither he nor mick harris have recorded this album, while also apologizing for anyone who bought it.. drew walter peterson (born january 5, 1954) is a retired bolingbrook, illinois police sergeant who was convicted in 2012 for the murder of his third wife, kathleen savio, a few months after their 2003 divorce. peterson first received national publicity in 2007 when his fourth wife, stacy ann cales peterson, disappeared. although the police and stacy ann's family suspect foul play, she has never been found. suspicions in stacy ann's case were fueled in part by the death of savio, whose bruised body was found in a dry bathtub in her home in 2004, with a large gash in her scalp. initially, savio's official cause of death was found to be accidental drowning. in 2009, after the attention from stacy ann's disappearance, peterson was indicted for savio's murder after a second autopsy showed evidence of a struggle. he was convicted of the murder in 2012, and was sentenced to 38 years in prison on february 21, 2013. on february 9, 2015, peterson was charged with two additional felonies – solicitation of murder and solicitation of murder for hire – for attempting to have will county state's attorney james glasgow killed. peterson was convicted on may 31, 2016, and sentenced to an additional 40 years on july 29, 2016. on february 21, 2017, he was transferred from illinois department of corrections custody to the united states penitentiary in terre haute, indiana. drew peterson graduated in 1972 from willowbrook high school in villa park, illinois, where he ran cross country. he joined the u.s. army after graduation and briefly attended the college of dupage in 1974 before moving to falls church, virginia to train as a military police officer. peterson began his 30-year career with the local police force in bolingbrook, illinois (a suburb of chicago) in 1977. in 1978, he was assigned to the metropolitan area narcotics squad, and in 1979, he received a "police officer of the year" award from the department. peterson retired in november 2007 at age 53 with the rank of sergeant and was given a (tax-free) $79,000-a-year pension (almost $6,600-a-month). his pension was terminated following his second conviction in may 2016. peterson and carol brown met in high school in villa park and together attended his senior prom. they married in 1974, but divorced in 1980, after brown learned about peterson's infidelity. together they had sons stephen paul peterson (1980) and eric drew peterson. peterson married his second wife, victoria "vicki" connolly, in 1982. they operated a bar together in romeoville. connolly alleged a history of domestic violence during her ten-year marriage to peterson, as has her daughter, who lived in the household until she turned 17. in the wake of stacy ann's disappearance, connolly told police that during their marriage, peterson threatened to kill her and make it look like an accident. she divorced peterson after he started dating kathleen savio. their divorce was finalized on february 18, 1992. peterson married savio two months later. peterson married accountant kathleen savio (born june 13, 1963 in glendale heights, illinois) on may 3, 1992. together they had two sons, thomas (january 5, 1993) and kristopher (august 8, 1994). their divorce was finalized on october 10, 2003. it was reported that between 2002 and 2004, police were called out to the peterson house eighteen times on domestic disturbance calls, including calls for returning children late after visitation. on march 1, 2004, savio's body was found in a waterless bathtub. her death was initially ruled an accidental drowning by a coroner's jury that included a police officer who personally knew peterson and assured the other jurors that he was a good man who would never hurt his wife. however, following stacy peterson's later disappearance, savio's body was exhumed and underwent forensic examination on november 16, 2007. michael baden, a former new york city medical examiner who conducted the examination at the request of savio's relatives and fox news, concluded that she died of drowning following a struggle when her body was placed in the bathtub. postmortem photos showed extensive bruising and scraping to her back, torso, and face, as well as a large, unexplained gash in her scalp. the results of the official autopsy ordered by the county have yet to be released to the public. will county state's attorney james glasgow told the press that, after examining evidence in the case, he believed that the death was a "homicide staged to look like an accident”. on february 21, 2008, glasgow announced that a pathologist had determined that savio's death was a homicide, adding that the death had been investigated as such since reopening the case following the exhumation. reverend neil schori, a pastor at stacy's church, reported that stacy had told him that drew had killed savio and had made it look like an accident, and that she was afraid of her husband. stacy had provided drew's alibi for his whereabouts on the evening on which savio died. peterson's trial, proceeding in july 2012, was jeopardized when prosecutors attempted to introduce evidence that was not allowed. "the chicago tribune" reported that the judge would rule on a mistrial on august 2, 2012. on august 15, peterson told a judge that he wanted to withdraw a request for a mistrial. his lawyers said that he wanted the current jury to decide if he killed his third wife. on september 6, peterson was convicted of killing savio. on february 21, 2013, he was denied a mistrial and sentenced to 38 years in prison. at age 49, peterson married 19-year-old hotel receptionist stacy ann cales (born january 20, 1984 in downers grove, illinois) on october 18, 2003, and she subsequently changed her last name to peterson. together they had two children, anthony (born 2003) and lacy (born 2005). stacy legally adopted savio's children, and treated them like they were her own. she was close to completing her nursing degree from joliet junior college at the time of her disappearance on sunday, october 28, 2007. stacy was officially reported missing in the early hours of monday, october 29, after her sister, cassandra cales, failed to hear from her when expected. peterson claims that stacy called him at 9 p.m. on sunday to tell him that she had left him for another man and that she had left her 2002 pontiac grand am at bolingbrook's clow international airport. stacy is still considered a missing person. her family has launched a website to help find her. several leads were followed in the investigation by illinois state police with fbi involvement. four search warrants were issued and carried out on peterson's property following stacy's disappearance, including the seizure of his firearms and both his and stacy's vehicles. peterson announced his plans to retire as a bolingbrook police sergeant effective december 2007. on november 15, the bolingbrook police pension board voted to allow peterson to collect his pension of $6,067.71 per month, stating current law gave them no option, as he had not been convicted of a crime. rick mims, peterson's long-time friend, admitted that he and peterson bought three blue plastic containers from a cable company where they both worked part-time in 2003, and provided photos of these containers to police. mims also sold his story to tabloid newspapers for an undisclosed sum of money. peterson's stepbrother, thomas morphey, who has a history of drug and alcohol addiction, attempted suicide two days after allegedly helping peterson carry a plastic container from peterson's bolingbrook home to his suv, fearing he may have helped dispose of stacy's body. neighbors reported seeing peterson and another man hauling a 55-gallon barrel, large enough to hold a person, out of the house shortly after the disappearance. cassandra cales, stacy's sister, said she wanted peterson to take a lie detector test about his knowledge of a blue container that she saw in his garage two days before stacy disappeared. joel brodsky, peterson's attorney, denied that any container was missing from peterson's home. there were also reports of truckers referring to the containers, but their stories were treated as not credible after it was discovered that they had not been in the bolingbrook area at the times they claimed. on january 23, 2008, peterson and his attorney, joel brodsky, called in to the show of chicago radio personality steve dahl, who had been lampooning peterson since the case began. brodsky suggested that dahl host an on-air "dating game" with peterson the following day, but wjmk managers and dahl decided not to go through with it. peterson appeared on cnn's "larry king live" on april 11, 2008, with brodsky again present to advise which questions peterson should answer. the interview reran on may 9, 2009, two days after peterson's arrest. peterson subsequently made guest appearances (including one from county jail) on radio station wls-am with mancow muller. after that radio appearance, will county judge stephen white severely limited peterson's access to the media. in december 2008, peterson's publicist glenn selig confirmed peterson was engaged to a 23-year-old, christina raines; she would have been his fifth wife. on january 30, 2009, it was made public that raines had moved out of peterson's house. her father, ernie raines, had issued an ultimatum to his daughter out of concern about the way peterson tried to control her and what he feared peterson could do. raines moved out of peterson's home "when she came to her senses", calling the engagement a publicity stunt designed to keep peterson in the media spotlight. on may 7, 2009, peterson was indicted by a will county grand jury and arrested for the murder of savio. bail was set at $20 million. in october 2009, peterson sued jp morgan chase for revoking a home equity credit line that he wanted to use to pay legal expenses, claiming his income of "nearly $109,000 per year" was not sufficient. in july 2010, judge white ruled that peterson would remain in the will county jail for the remainder of his trial and appeals process. prosecutors argued he could pose a danger if released. on july 21, 2010, it was revealed that hearsay statements indicating peterson killed two of his wives were not reliable enough for a jury to hear at his trial. after presiding over a lengthy hearing, judge white issued a four-page sealed ruling in may obtained by the "daily herald". white ruled that prosecutors proved peterson killed both savio and stacy "by a preponderance of the evidence," but nearly all statements attributed to stacy "do not provide sufficient safeguards of reliability." (the standard of proof in homicide cases is "beyond a reasonable doubt"; "preponderance of the evidence" is the standard for fact-finding on questions of admissibility of evidence, even in a criminal case.) stacy's statements were crucial to the prosecution's case, as it lacked significant direct evidence. in april 2012, an illinois appellate court ruled that prosecutors could use eight statements made by both the victim prior to her death and by peterson's still-missing fourth wife stacy prior to her disappearance, reversing white's earlier decision. peterson's defense had contended that introduction of these alleged hearsay comments constituted a violation of his sixth amendment right to confront any witnesses testifying against him. the illinois state legislature attempted to help the prosecution with the passage of a new illinois law, 725 ilcs 5/115-10.6, or "drew's law", which allows prosecutors to enter hearsay statements into evidence under certain conditions. passed while investigators were looking for stacy, the legislation permits courts to consider statements from "unavailable witnesses," provided that prosecutors are able to prove that the witness was killed to prevent his or her testimony and that the hearsay statements are reliable. analysis by the trial court under this new law led to eight out of fourteen hearsay statements being ruled inadmissible because they were insufficiently reliable. on appeal, however, the court of appeals reversed the trial court, ruling that the common law doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing, which is less restrictive than "drew's law", would allow the statements to be admitted. on august 22, 2012, jeff pachter, a witness at peterson's murder trial, said peterson offered him $25,000 to hire someone to kill savio and told him it would be a secret he would take to his grave. on september 6, 2012, peterson was found guilty of the premeditated murder of savio. jurors admitted that the most compelling evidence was based on the hearsay statements allowed under "drew's law". on february 21, 2013, peterson was sentenced to 38 years in prison for the murder of his third wife. he is currently incarcerated at the united states penitentiary, terre haute. after a number of appeals, on september 21, 2017, the illinois supreme court upheld the conviction. on february 9, 2015, peterson was charged with attempting to put a hit on james glasgow, the chicago-area lead prosecutor in his murder trial, after a fellow inmate tipped off prosecutors to the plan and wore a wire to capture evidence against peterson. in may 2016, he was found guilty of solicitation of murder and solicitation of murder for hire. he was subsequently sentenced to an additional 40 years in prison. a trichlorophenol is any organochloride of phenol that contains three covalently bonded chlorine atoms. trichlorophenols are produced by electrophilic halogenation of phenol with chlorine. different isomers of trichlorophenol exist according to which ring positions on the phenol contain chlorine atoms. 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, for example, has two chlorine atoms in the "ortho" positions and one chlorine atom in the "para" position. there are six different isomers: tootsietoy is a manufacturer of die cast toy cars and other toy vehicles which was originally based in chicago, illinois. though the tootsietoy name has been used since the 1920s, the company's origins date from about 1890. an enduring marque, toys with the tootsietoy name were consistently popular from the 1930s through the 1990s. tootsietoy had its beginnings in the two diecasting companies of the dowst and the shure brothers who were established near the same time in the 1890s (strombecker 2004). the dowst brothers originally established a trade paper called the "national laundry journal" and later purchased a linotype machine to cast metal buttons and cuff links related to the laundry business (strombecker 2012). meanwhile, the tootsietoy brand also had origins in a range of miniature cars in the form of charms, pins, cuff links and the like, introduced circa 1901 by the chicago based cosmo company owned by the shure bros. which bought dowst in 1926. the name, however, remained dowst manufacturing co. (see brochure in seeley no date). the first actual model car from the company was produced between 1909 and 1911. one was a closed limousine which was followed by a 1915 ford model t open tourer. by the early 1920s the name 'tootsie' was being used as a brand name and "tootsietoy" was registered as a trade mark in 1924. the 'tootsie' moniker apparently came from one of the dowst brothers' granddaughters, whose name was "toots" (waggoner 2007). tootsietoy made metal prizes for cracker jack boxes (rogers 2009, p. 65), and this success in the 1930s may also have led to dowst providing cast pieces for the game monopoly (strombecker 2004). the company also produced a large assortment of die-cast dollhouse furniture (scott 2010). in the 1920s trains, cars, trucks, military vehicles, aircraft, pistols and a variety of other toys were manufactured by dowst. vehicles often had white rubber tires which over time become brittle and often have not survived play-wear and time. one of the unique offerings were a set of 1932 graham diecast cars - tootsietoy offered a graham sedan, town car, coupe, roadster, dual cowl convertible, delivery panel truck and tow truck (seeley no date a). a marque not often seen in miniature since, graham was a household name at tootsietoy. the tootsietoy grahams were available in boxes with "graham" on the sides - indicating that they may have been used as promotional models for the graham company. if so, these would have been just about the earliest promotional automobile toys seen anywhere (seeley no date a). one car that definitely was a promotional model was the 1935 lasalle made for general motors that came in sedan and coupe versions packaged in a special smallish blue and dark rose box. another interesting model was the 1936 lincoln zephyr which was available in a gift set with a 'roamer' camper trailer (seeley no date b). world war ii work later had the dowst co. making detonators for grenades and mines as well as belt and parachute buckles. as would be expected, little toy production was seen during wartime production, though some paper toys were made (strombecker 2004). whether small or large, metal or plastic, tootsietoys were usually simply made - often with only seven parts: a single diecast metal body, two axles, and four wheels. arms protruding from the underside of the body were pinched around the axles after the wheels were added, which held wheels and axles in place. many tootsietoy cars are still made in this basic manner, though in the 1970s and 1980s, plastic interiors and other parts were also added. one exception to this simplistic construction was the 1955 pontiac safari two-door station wagon which was heavily diecast in about 1:28 scale, larger than much of the tootsietoy fare. on this model, the diecast body was not as simple as on most of the companies offerings but also had diecast seats, an accurately shaped dashboard and a plastic steering wheel. the rear tailgate opened and the car also had a heavy separately diecast chassis. the usual fare in the 1960s were american offerings like a 1959 oldsmobile convertible, a 1959 ford wagon, or a 1960 chrysler convertible. vehicles were made in many sizes but 5", 3.5" and even smaller were all produced. as time passed the larger sizes generally faded, but in the 1970s the 1 dollar, 10 car "jampac" of tiny, simple diecast cars about 2 inches long became known as the world's best child "shutter-upper" (strombecker 2004). a couple of these smaller cars are still in demand, like a replica of the chevy corvette powered cheetah (competition in the real world for shelby's cobra). this car, though simple and tiny, was not commonly seen in miniature elsewhere. in 1961, strombeck-becker, later abbreviated to 'strombecker' was a hobby company purchased by dowst / tootsietoy (strombecker 2004). strombecker had previously made popular plastic models mainly for slot-car racing — and continued to do so, but by the end of the 1960s the slot-car niche had largely run its course (strombecker 2004). later, plastic as well as die-cast toys were identified with both names as "tootsietoy-strombecker". the name tootsietoy was often applied to larger, but fairly realistic plastic cars and trucks through the 1990s, but some die-cast were also still made like the hardbody series in matchbox size and slightly larger than 1:43 scale. by the late 1960s, tootsietoys were made in both the united states and hong kong. though most tootsie toys are produced in asia today, they were traditionally produced in chicago, and were also made in a few other american factories such as rockford, illinois. tootsietoy, however, should not be confused with the similar brand midgetoy, which was also based in rockford. tootsietoy, which is now owned by j. lloyd international, inc., is still based in chicago and makes about 40 million cars per year. the long island maritime museum is located in west sayville, new york. the long island maritime museum was founded in 1966 on the waterfront grounds of the former meadowedge estate of mrs. florence bourne hard in west sayville. florence hard was the daughter of frederick gilbert bourne, president of singer sewing machine from 1889 to 1905. charged with the mission of preserving long island's maritime history and heritage for educational purposes, the museum has been welcoming visitors from all over the world for over 40 years. the museum's main exhibit and administrative building, formerly the estate's garage, houses a collection of local half models, a permanent exhibit on long island shipwrecks and the united states lifesaving service, and a gallery for annual exhibits. hervey garrett smith is credited to being the museum's founder and first director. the museum grounds and buildings were originally owned by the bourne-hard family. the garage also houses the elward smith iii library, a treasure trove of books, documents, photographs and boat plans. the library is located in the east wing of the carriage house, with the archives upstairs. the library, which also houses many unique models and trophies is used for educational programs and meetings. the long island maritime museum is the current home of "priscilla" and "modesty", two vessels which are national historic landmarks. the long island maritime museum acquired priscilla in 1976. the vessel was significantly altered throughout her extensive career. until 2002, she served the long island maritime museum as a floating ambassador to other organizations on long island and in new york city. priscilla like all working vessels was subject to heavy wear and deterioration, and was constantly undergoing maintenance and repair throughout her lifespan. because of her deteriorated condition, priscilla underwent an extensive restoration at the long island maritime museum during a 19-month period between 2002 and 2003. the vessel has retained her historical physical appearance and the workmanship of elisha saxton and the care of her subsequent owners are testimony to her survival today. at the long island maritime museum, priscilla is used as a floating exhibit next to the 1908 rudolph oyster house and berthed along the same dock as the 1923 scallop dredger modesty. restored 1888 oyster sloop priscilla, floating ambassador of the long island maritime museum, sets sail for a series of summer events. the vessel is scheduled to begin taking passengers out on the great south bay the first week of may, 2010. priscilla has been featured in a variety of special regattas throughout her history, including the parade of tall ships at the "salute to the statue of liberty" fourth of july celebration in 1986. the oyster sloop modesty was built in 1923 by the wood and chute shipyard of greenport, long island. the vessel was originally built to dredge oysters and scallops under sail in the peconic bay. modesty is believed to be the last large sailing shellfish dredger built anywhere along the shores of long island. modesty was modeled after the 1892 catboat honest, which was built by jelle dykstra of greens creek, west sayville. modesty was built as a gaff-rigged sloop but a two-cylinder gafka gasoline engine was installed during the construction. the fact that modesty was even built at the end of the age of sail is due to an old law enacted before world war i which stipulated that only sail power could be used while dredging for shellfish. after working as a scallop dredger in peconic bay until 1936, modesty moved to connecticut to finish her working career as an oyster dredger. from the 1950s until 1974 she served as a pleasure yacht for various owners. the museum also includes the national historic landmark, the rudolph oyster house, a commercial oyster culling building. the museum is host to other historic exhibits as well. the frank f. penney boatshop, which was at one time the laundry building of the brooklyn hotel in center moriches. the bayman's cottage(beebe) was built in around the 1890s and moved from its original location at 45 west avenue to the museum grounds. the everitt-lawrence small craft exhibition building hosts a variety of small crafts by some of long island's most important designer/builders; g.f. carter, wilbur ketcham, frank conklin and gil smith. carrie rozelle (née dike) (october 31, 1937 – october 29, 2007) was a canadian-born american disabilities activist, whose struggles with her own learning-disabled son, jack, led her to establish the national center for learning disabilities. rozelle was married former nfl commissioner pete rozelle, who died in 1996. born in port dalhousie, ontario, to philip and ziva dyke, she was married to ralph kent cooke, son of jack kent cooke, a canadian businessman and onetime owner of the washington redskins and los angeles lakers, for thirteen years until their divorce in 1972. they had four children, three sons and a daughter. jack, born with learning disabilities, died in 1990. jack cooke's severe dyslexia and "sense of failure" created what rozelle described as "a hurricane." these experiences led her to establish the foundation for children with learning disabilities in 1977, organizing a charity ball in manhattan to raise funds. in her twelve years as chairwoman, the organization provided grants for public awareness programs in schools, daycare centers, museums, and summer camps. it ran parent-education workshops, created book collections for children with matching tapes and film strips, and held training sessions for librarians. the foundation, which became known as the national center for learning disabilities in 1989, provides support to more than a million families a year and has an annual budget of four million dollars. it focuses on early screening programs (about three hundred fifty thousand children were tested in 2006); informing parents on how to deal with school systems, and promoting public policies connected with the rights of the learning disabled. rozelle died of cancer on october 29, 2007, two days before her seventieth birthday, in rancho santa fe, california. she was survived by her three children, a stepdaughter, and five grandchildren. robert j. rubinstein (born 1952) is a social entrepreneur and the founder and driving force behind tbli (triple bottom line investing)

member of board asn foundation platerówka () is a village in lubań county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. it is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called gmina platerówka. it lies approximately south-west of lubań, and west of the regional capital wrocław. the village has a population of 580. the name "platerówka" comes from the name of the polish independent women’s battalion, emilia plater (of the polish i corps in the soviet union), whose soldiers inhabited the village. włosień may refer to the following places in poland: red cap is a british television drama series, produced by stormy pictures for the bbc and broadcast on bbc one. a total of thirteen episodes were broadcast over the course of two series, beginning with a feature-length pilot on 28 december 2001. the series follows the investigations and personal relationships of a british army special investigation branch unit of the royal military police based in germany. the series initially focused on lead character, sergeant jo mcdonagh (tamzin outhwaite), who was nicknamed mcdoughnut, but later series played out as more of an ensemble piece, with several notable characters coming to prominence. a number of fictional regiments were featured in the series, including the bedford light infantry, the royal cumbrian fusiliers, the wessex regiment and the derbyshire light infantry. according to bbc sources, outhwaite spent a week familiarising herself with army life at the reserve training and mobilisation centre in chilwell, nottingham, prior to filming the series. training included unarmed combat, 9mm pistol training, driving, drill, and understanding the army's labyrinthine hierarchical structure. the series creator and writer, emmy and golden globe nominee patrick harbinson, was in the army himself and previously wrote fifteen episodes of the itv military series "soldier soldier". a bbc spokesman said; "with such experience, patrick infuses red cap with a tangible sense of realism." on 13 march 2004 "red cap" was axed by bbc executives, who cited; "at a cost of £10 million and an audience of just 5.5 million, executives thought it would not be worthwhile to renew it for another series." notably, the series has never been released on dvd. włosień () is a village in the administrative district of gmina platerówka, within lubań county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. the old west end is a historic neighborhood in toledo, ohio and is considered to be "the largest neighborhood of late victorian, edwardian, and arts & crafts homes east of the mississippi." the south end of the neighborhood is bounded by the toledo museum of art and the eastern edge by churches of many denominations on collingwood boulevard. the area has homes varying in area from 1,200 to . in 1818, the first log home was built in the area now known as the old west end; then in 1829, the first tavern and store were built. the old west end was platted in 1866, and "the wealthiest and most well-to-do of toledo began moving away from their former downtown homes to live in this new development far from the city". the old west end "experienced most of its growth between 1875 and 1915." by the late 1870s, the area became a very popular place to live; "...families began to build 'out in the woods' in the west end.” in the heyday of the neighborhood, “collingwood avenue became known as the avenue and eventually as the avenue of churches", because of all of the churches that lined and still line collingwood avenue. the area fell out of vogue in the 1920s and 1930s. in the 1960s, its decline was hastened by the construction of interstate highways. “the construction of the i-75 expressway resulted in the demolition of entire blocks...” like most established u.s. cities, toledo's historic areas declined, but the residents of the old west end kept many of the historic landmarks from being demolished. their efforts paid off; in 1973, parts of the old west end were placed on the national register of historic places as a historic district; this district was expanded in 1984. from the 1970s, the old west end neighborhood became home to a broadly diverse population of established families, elderly residents, artists and those interested in the arts community, partly because of its proximity to the toledo museum of art. the community also includes singles, minorities, and immigrant residents. many houses in the neighborhood have been restored. the game allows players to do combat strategies with tanks,

center for data science, the editor of political analysis, and a member of the center for behavioral neuroscience at american university as of the fall of 2017. he was a professor of political science at washington university in st. louis and the director of the center for applied statistics. he was also president of the society for political methodology, and is an inaugural fellow of the society for political methodology. major areas of research and interest include: political methodology, american politics, statistical computing, research methods, and public administration. current research is focused on projects on work in the development of bayesian hierarchical models, nonparametric bayesian models, elicited prior development from expert interviews, as well in fundamental issues in statistical inference. he has extensive expertise in statistical computing, markov chain monte carlo (mcmc) tools in particular. most sophisticated bayesian models for the social or medical sciences require complex, compute-intensive tools such as mcmc to efficiently estimate parameters of interest. gill is an expert in these statistical and computational techniques and uses them to contribute to empirical knowledge in the biomedical and social sciences. current theoretical work builds logically on gill's prior applied work and adds opportunities to develop new hybrid algorithms for statistical estimation with multilevel specifications and complex time-series and spatial relationships. current applied work includes: energetics and cancer, long-term mental health outcomes from children's exposure to war, pediatric head trauma, analysis of mouse models, and molecular models of sickle cell disease. he also contributes to gene-wide associate studies (gwas) that seek to discover correlated cancer genes related to obesity, diet, and exercise, as well as consult on computational genetics analysis. other work includes bayesian hierarchical models, markov chain monte carlo theory, bureaucratic behavior in national security agencies, and issues in political epidemiology. his best known works include "essential mathematics for political and social research", with cambridge university press, and the third edition of "bayesian methods for the social and behavioral sciences" (chapman & hall/crc), which is the leading bayesian text for these disciplines. he is the author of seven other books. his journal work has appeared in the quarterly journal of political science, journal of the royal statistical society, journal of politics, electoral studies, statistical science, political research quarterly, sociological methods & research, public administration review, journal of public administration research and theory, canadian journal of political science, journal of statistical software, political analysis, lancet neurology, american journal of epidemiology, journal of urology, and others. gill was visiting professor of government at harvard university 2006–2007 and has been affiliate professor of statistics at the university of florida since 2001, and also taught at the university of california, davis from 2004–2007. he will be a visiting professor at harvard university again for the spring of 2018. rhys meynell (born 17 august 1988) is an english professional footballer who plays for frickley athletic . meynell started his career at barnsley,

germany. on 16 november 2007, hanada's proposal "delphinium" won the international architectural competition on the grand expansion of the stockholm public library, one of architect gunnar asplund's most important works. hanada defeated five other finalists from denmark, italy, finland, lithuania and the united kingdom in the competition to expand the famed rotunda library building by asplund, which opened in 1928. more than 1,000 architects from about 120 countries submitted proposals when the competition was announced in may 2006. the project named "delphinium" includes a glass building, which connects to asplund's library by a low, podium-like structure enclosing a circular, "secret" garden. the white glass building lights up at night and will "invite to discussion or to just a quiet moment to oneself amongst other people," the jury said. heike hanada first came in contact with the architecture of asplund in the 1980s. she has designed a building which opens and closes itself. the building has a row of interlinked rooms, both vertically and horizontally. the room sequences, the relation between open and closed, continue far beyond the shell of the building. at the same time heike hanada has been intent on keeping everything functionally clear and simple without dead ends and backwaters. i found it difficult to place a large building right next to asplund's library. to me the inner courtyard and the low-rise entrance section between the high buildings are a way of marking a distance, creating a rhythm and tranquility in the townscape. [...] the plot is of a kind which will be common in future, with less and less land going spare. a number of decisions will have to be made concerning what is to be demolished and how one can or should adapt oneself when building. it is a tricky balancing act in which conservative conclusions come easily. when a new building stands next to an old one, the difference in periods is made articulate, the new enriches the old and vice versa, resulting in a powerful wholeness. the extension has officially been put on hold in autumn 2009 after a change in local government and a massive campaign about what critics saw as an unacceptable impact on the original, asplund approved complex. the 1946 georgia bulldogs football team represented the georgia bulldogs of the university of georgia during the 1946 college football season. the williamson system, an ncaa-designated major selector, named the bulldogs as national champion. the final ap poll, issued before bowl season, ranked

the brighton pavilion. in 1828, the pavilion belonged to the rev. henry raikes, and later to sir alexander dixie, capt rn. he was born in 1780 and served at trafalgar with distinction. from 1850 it was occupied by colonel austen, at which time it was still known as the pavilion. dr alonzo stocker owned it in 1880; his widow died in 1927 after living in craigweil lodge. the latter was owned and occupied by their son hubert stocker in 1939. craigweil house was sold to sir arthur du cros in 1915. in 1919 he enlarged it, and it is remembered for the arrival of king george v on 9 february 1929 for his convalescence until 15 may 1929. during this visit, on 10 may, the king held a privy council meeting, dissolving parliament and knighting captain seagrave, the racing motorist. the house was

character to the successful british bbc sitcom "the vicar of dibley". she is portrayed by dawn french (who is 8 years older than granger), described by the british comedy guide as "the jolly, down-to-earth female vicar of dibley, a small country village inhabited by oddballs. after overcoming the town's initial shock at her gender geraldine helps to improve the village." much of the source of comedy comes from the way french plays the female vicar with her extroverted and fun-loving nature, frequent colourful language, and behaviour as a vicar which would usually be frowned on by the church. the character made a debut in 1994, and on 15 march 2013, french reprised her role as granger as part of her "french and saunders" marathon on bbc radio 2. granger arrived at the parish church to a shocked congregation, leading her to remark: "you were expecting a bloke - beard, bible, bad breath. and instead, you got a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom." she is a bonne vivante and a liberal woman who enjoys nothing more than a good laugh, much to the consternation of her primary antagonist david horton. despite her fun-loving and sometimes outrageous behaviour, she is deeply caring and does her best to help those in her parish in any way she can. she is well aware of her obesity but seems to take a relatively laid-back attitude toward it. a self-confessed chocoholic, her favourite being smarties and curly wurlys, she has innumerable chocolate bars hidden throughout her house (even in hollowed-out bibles). on one occasion, she gives up chocolate for lent and nearly goes mad but does succeed. she has an enormous crush on actor sean bean. despite her kind-hearted nature, geraldine is not above occasional arrogance. in the second-season episode "celebrity vicar", after a spot on local radio led to several high-profile media appearances, geraldine allowed fame to go to her head, and became overconfident and self-absorbed, caring more about her public image and tv career than she did about her parishioners or her duties as a priest. she was later humbled after the tabloids printed several offensive articles about the members of the village council, and she struggled to regain their trust. her unusual first name boadicea is revealed later in the series, much to david horton's ongoing amusement, although in the final episode her full name is given as geraldine julie andrews dick van dyke supercalifragilisticexpialidocius chim-chiminey chim-chiminey chim-chim-cheree granger, the latter due to her mother's favourite book being "mary poppins" and the fact that the film was released in 1964, supposedly the year of geraldine's birth. geraldine celebrated her 40th birthday in an episode first broadcast on 1 january 2005. dawn french was 48 at the time. her best friend is alice tinker (emma chambers); at the end of each episode she tells a joke to alice, but alice rarely understands the humour. geraldine was once going to marry david horton but decided not to after all. in 2006, she receives a proposal from accountant harry kennedy and accepts by running around the village, screaming. in the final episode she marries him in a bizarre wedding with touches of "doctor who", including the two bridesmaids being dressed as daleks and with parts of the church decorated with vegetables. she ends up getting married in her pyjamas because her wedding dress has been accidentally covered with mud by owen newitt. wesołówka may refer to the following places in poland: gustavo "gus" adolfo mellander is a respected leader in

back-to-back all-star awards also. john moore allison (april 7, 1905 – october 28, 1978) was a us diplomat most commonly known for being us ambassador to japan from 1953 to 1957. from 1957 to 1958 he was ambassador to indonesia and from 1958 to 1960 to czechoslovakia. in the 1960s and 1970s he was professor at the university of hawaii. in 1973 he published his memoir, "ambassador from the prairie". allison first visited japan in 1927, following his graduation from the university of nebraska. he worked for two years as an english teacher in odawara and atsugi before joining the state department in 1930. he studied japanese in tokyo and then worked in the foreign service in japan and china, serving as consul in dalian (1935–36), jinan (1936–37), nanjing (1937–38), shanghai (1938), and osaka (1939–41). on january 26, 1938, during the period of the nanking massacre, john m. allison, at the time consul at the american embassy in nanjing, was struck in the face by a japanese soldier. this incident is commonly known as the allison incident. japanese consul-general katsuo okazaki apologized formally on january 30 (after the americans demanded they do so). this incident, together with the looting of american property in nanking that took place at the same time, further strained relations between japan and the united states, which had already been damaged by the "panay" incident less than two months earlier. allison served as a consul in london during world war ii. after japan's surrender, he served in various state department leadership positions covering japan and the far east from 1946 to 1952. allison participated in the drafting of the treaty of san francisco that formally ended the war, serving as john foster dulles's aide during the latter's negotiation of the treaty. allison was named united states ambassador to japan in 1953. in 1954, 16 years after the "allison incident," allison and the man who had apologized to him in nanjing, japanese foreign minister okazaki, signed the u.s. and japan mutual defense assistance agreement on behalf of their respective countries. in 1957, during his ambassadorship to indonesia, he recommended the u.s. government mediate on the western new guinea issue. autopista 30 de mayo ("english for" highway 30 may) is a highway in the dominican republic. the highway serves as a junction of the capital santo domingo, dominican republic and its adjacent city (part of the metropolitan area), san cristóbal. it is a small highway, usually with heavy traffic, and passes through the haina port, the biggest port in the dominican republic. the eastern terminus is at the george washington avenue in the city coast and the western terminus lies at the city center of san cristobal and then unites to the new section of dr-2 in the western part of san cristobal. the highway is an old decommissioned part of national highway dr-2. the highway is named 30 de mayo due to the assassination of dominican dictator rafael leonidas trujillo molina on may 30, 1961 on that highway. wonderland road is a major north-south arterial road in london, ontario, designated as ontario highway 4 between highway 401 and sunningdale road. outside of the city limits, the road extends north into middlesex centre as middlesex county road 56 and south into southwold. it is one of the busiest roads in london, carrying over 43,000 vehicles per day between springbank drive and riverside drive as of 2013. wonderland road takes its name from the wonderland gardens concert hall located near springbank park. the present-day wonderland road corridor is made up of part or all of six london-area roads. the original wonderland sideroad was a 3.24 km gravel road running between southdale road and the thames river, with wonderland gardens located at the end of the road just before the river. in 1970, a major upgrade took place in conjunction with the new westmount development, that saw the road widened to four lanes with a centre median south of commissioners road, and a new two-lane road south of viscount road that bypassed the existing road to the east, connecting at southdale road with the old airport road which ran south 2.5 km to highway 135. (airport road was so-named because the london airport was located in the southwest area before 1942.) north of the thames river, the modern-day wonderland road corridor consisted of: hutton sideroad, which existed from riverside drive 2.27 km north to the sarnia gravel road; a north-south 1.32 km section of sarnia road which ran from hutton road and then continued westwards along today's gainsborough road; north of this point, cameron sideroad continued northward (3.51 km within the post 1993 city limits) to highway 7. hutton sideroad passed under the canadian national railway tracks via a one-lane subway located slightly west of the current wider subway, which was constructed in the late 1950s. at some point in the 1970s, sarnia road was realigned to continue westward from hutton road along springhill road, and hutton road was extended northward along the former section of sarnia road and cameron road. in 1977, a new four-lane bridge was opened connecting wonderland road south of the river to hutton road (at that time 5.0 km within city limits) north of the river. this bridge was named in memory of londoner guy lombardo, who had recently died and had often played at nearby wonderland gardens. at the same time, a four-lane diversion was built to the west of the original alignment between commissioners road and springbank drive. hutton road was renamed wonderland road north. wonderland road was now a continuous four-lane facility from viscount road to kingsway avenue. the four-lane section was extended north to just beyond oxford street in 1982. in 1987, a new four-lane bridge was built over the canadian pacific railway just south of sarnia road, replacing a two-lane level crossing. the four-lane section of wonderland road was further extended to gainsborough road in 1996, and a small section south of fanshawe park road was widened to four lanes in 1998. at the south end of the city, for many years wonderland road ended at highway 135, later exeter road. the section between southdale road and highway 135 was widened to four lanes in 1982 by middlesex county, and the city of london widened the road north of southdale to viscount road in the late 1980s. in 1997, a southerly extension joined wonderland road with 4.62 km of bostwick road, which also crossed highway 402. an interchange was constructed at highway 402 at the same time. wonderland road was separated by highway 401 from the southernmost section to the elgin county line, until 2015. on october 31, 2014, london's first roundabout with four lanes opened at the intersection of wonderland and sunningdale. an interchange with highway 401 and wonderland road opened in the fall of 2015. in 2017, wonderland road in elgin county was transferred from southwold township to elgin county in exchange of other county roads which were transferred down to southwold township. in 2018, wonderland road between highway 401 and sunningdale road was also designated as highway 4 through the city, completed as part of a re-routing of highway 4 through city, bypassing the city's downtown core, and linking mto - controlled portions of highway 4 both north and south of the city. therefore, highway 4 now follows richmond street south to sunningdale road, sunningdale west to wonderland road, wonderland south to highway 401, a 401 concurrency west to colonel talbot road, then colonel talbot south to the city limits. wonderland road is one of only two roads in london to traverse both ends of the city without any breaks or turnoffs, the other being highbury avenue. in urban london, the road is four lanes wide, with the road narrowing to two in the rural part. the final section to be widened to four lanes was between gainsborough and aldersbrook, which was completed in 2010. north of the thames river, house numbers start in the 500s with odd and even numbers switching sides north of sarnia road. heading south through southdale road, house numbers immediately increase from the 1000s to the 3000s, due to a numbering convention from westminster when london annexed the town in 1993. north of sunningdale, wonderland road exits london and is designated as middlesex county road 56 in middlesex centre where it continues as a rural, two-lane road until it ends at elginfield road. south of southminster bourne, the road continues as a rural, two-lane road in southwold where it ends at ron mcneil line. where the original wonderland sideroad was bypassed between commissioners and springbank, the former alignment was renamed old wonderland road. when hutton road was realigned westward at riverside to connect with wonderland road in 1977, the original alignment to the east was truncated and renamed hutton place. wonderland is one of the few thoroughfares in urban london to have cycling infrastructure for most of its length. it features a combination of on-street and off-street bike lanes from north of fanshawe park to commissioners roads, resuming at southdale and ending at bradley avenue. the road is served by multiple bus routes of the london transit commission. the most notorious is route 10 which travels on wonderland between sarnia and southdale, which was eponymously named 10 wonderland for decades until september 2016. other routes that serve portions of wonderland include routes 9, 11, 12, 15, 19, 20, 23, 28, 29, 31, and 33. long term plans call for wonderland road to be widened to six lanes from the highway 401 interchange to london's north city limits. in 2017, the city of london launched an environmental assessment named "discover wonderland" that will look at widening wonderland to six lanes from sarnia to southdale, while investigating how to accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, and transit. piligrim (pilgrim of passau, pilegrinus, peregrinus) (died 20 may 991) was bishop of passau. piligrim was ambitious, but also concerned with the christianization of hungary. he was educated at the benedictine niederaltaich abbey, and was made bishop in 971. to him are attributed some, if not all, of the "forgeries of lorch". these are a series of documents, especially papal bulls of pope symmachus, pope eugene ii, pope leo vii, and pope agapetus ii, fabricated to prove that passau was a continuation of a former archdiocese of lorch. by these he attempted to obtain from benedict vi the elevation of passau to an archdiocese, the re-erection of those dioceses in pannonia and mœsia which had been suffragans of lorch, and the pallium for himself. there is extant an alleged bull of benedict vi granting piligrim's demands; but this is also the work of piligrim, possibly a document drawn up for the papal signature, which it never received. piligrim converted numerous pagans in hungary. he built many schools and churches, restored the rule of st. benedict in niederaltaich, transferred the relics of maximilian of tebessa from altötting to passau, and held synods (983–991) at (lorch), mautern an der donau, and mistelbach. in the "nibelungenlied" he is lauded as a contemporary of the heroes of that epic. the joe turner classic is an annual american football game played in savannah, georgia at ted wright stadium on the campus of savannah state university. the first joe turner classic was held in 1993 at ted wright stadium in savannah, georgia. the game is dedicated to joe turner, a graduate of savannah state university, and a legendary high school football coach in the state of georgia. turner coached at woodville (now tompkins) high school in the state of georgia from 1960-80. he was named georgia high school "coach of the year" seven times in a career that featured a won-loss record of 204-101-4 in the high school ranks. turner served as head football coach of savannah state coach for three seasons (1947–1949) and compiled a record of 9-13-1. the 1948 team was the southeastern athletic conference champion with a record of 5-3-0. the tigers of savannah state university are annual participants in the game. united nations security council resolution 272, adopted on october 23, 1969, regarding the general assembly including an item relating to the amendment of the statute of the international court of justice on the agenda of its 24th session, the council has authority to make recommendations to the assembly regarding the participation of nations party to the statute but not members of the un and decided to do so. the council recommended that those nations be allowed to participate in regard to amendments as though they were members and that amendments would come into force when they had been adopted by a vote of two-thirds of the all the states party to the statute and ratified by those states. the resolution was adopted without vote. wyręba may refer to the following places in poland: wyręba () is a village in the administrative district of gmina siekierczyn, within lubań county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. broadway avenue is an arterial road and commercial street in saskatoon, saskatchewan. it begins at the east end of the broadway bridge and continues south for about 4 kilometres until terminating at a cul-de-sac in the avalon neighbourhood. the commercial portion, and the section usually referred to colloquially as "broadway," is composed of the five blocks running south from the broadway bridge to 8th street east, as well as the adjoining blocks east and west. this section makes up the broadway business improvement district, and is a popular shopping and cultural destination of saskatoon, featuring many restaurants and bars, boutique shops, local businesses, and annual street festivals, including the saskatoon fringe theatre festival. this original portion of broadway avenue, between the bridge and 8th street, was the original main commercial street of the town of nutana, prior to amalgamation with saskatoon in 1906. it was also the location of the city's first elementary school, victoria school. the original stone school was relocated to the grounds of the university of saskatchewan, but the replacement school built in the 1930s still stands. broadway avenue was so named because of its width, and teams of more than two horses could do u-turns without having to go around the block. (several other avenues in nutana are of similar width.) the southernmost portion of broadway avenue in avalon was intended to have a boulevard and be named royal avenue. the boulevard was never built and another street in avalon received the royal avenue name (one block west of present-day broadway between ruth and cascade streets). broadway avenue ceased to be the main commercial street when the present downtown was established with the arrival of the qu'appelle, long lake and saskatchewan railway in 1890. it remained the commercial center for the nutana and other east side neighbourhoods until the 1950s, when newer shopping malls drew business activity away from broadway avenue. the area went into a decades-long period of decline until the mid-1980s. on august 25, 1986, an organization of merchants in the area called the broadway business improvement district (bbid) was formed. one of their first projects was to get the city to pay for half of the estimated $1.1 million to refurbish the street. this included cobblestone medians, park benches, median signs, new paint on the lampposts, antique style lighting and advertisement posts all coordinated in the same theme. it began a period of revitalization that brought renewed commercial activity and gentrification to the nutana neighbourhood. broadway avenue remains an active commercial district to the present day. broadway avenue's intersection at 12th street east is often referred to as "five corners"; it was originally laid out in 1883. the north extension of broadway, later renamed university drive, followed the batoche trail parallel to the river, unlike the north-south orientation of broadway south of 12th street. the intersection was connected to the "long hill" route along saskatchewan crescent to the traffic bridge, which opened in 1907. this connection created a five-point intersection, and it became an access point to downtown with the completion of the broadway bridge in 1932. the long hill route to the traffic bridge was later replaced by the more direct "short hill" route, though due to the grade of the short hill, the long hill continued to be used by street cars. the intersection was marked for many years by a service station on the north corner that featured signage that could be seen far down broadway; in the 1970s it was demolished and construction began on an apartment block. in later years, access from university drive and the western part of 12th street east was cut off, changing five corners into a standard 3-way junction. the moniker remains, however, and an interpretive sculpture was erected in 2009 by the design studio of lee-koopman. antonio valeriano (c. 1521–1605) was a colonial mexican, nahua scholar and politician. he was a collaborator with fray bernardino de sahagún in the creation of the twelve-volume "general history of the things of new spain", the florentine codex, he served as judge-governor of both his home, azcapotzalco, and of tenochtitlan, in spanish colonial new spain. antonio de valeriano was the most accomplished pupil and then native scholar at the franciscan colegio de santa cruz de tlatelolco. as with other students at the colegio, valeriano was taught literacy in nahuatl, spanish, and latin. bernardino de sahagún singled out valeriano as "one of my collaborators ... collegians expert in grammar. the principal and most learned of them was antonio de valeriano of atzcapoltzalco." he was also praised by franciscan fray juan bautista, who preserved the last letter that valeriano wrote him in latin. valeriano says that "my hands are trembling, my eyes are clouded, and my ears closed" () and signing as "your most loving, but unworthy, antonius valerianus" ). valeriano and other pupils and former pupils of the colegio are to be credited with their collaboration with the franciscans in creating religious texts, dictionaries, and other texts such as sahagún's magnum opus of the "general history of the things of new spain", the florentine codex. the question of valeriano's authorship of the nahuatl text known as "nican mopohua" has become a point of contention in the long-running dispute over the historicity of the apparitions of the virgin mary (under the title our lady of guadalupe) to juan diego in 1531. the "nican mopohua" was published in 1649 by luis lasso de la vega as part of a composite text known from its opening words as the "huei tlamahuiçoltica", and de la vega's claims of authorship in the preface to that work notwithstanding, the "nican mopohua" has long been attributed to valeriano. this attribution is based on a tradition dating back to the informaciones jurídicas de 1666 and the assertions of luis becerra tanco and, subsequently, don carlos de sigüenza y góngora as to valeriano's authorship and as to their acquaintance with the relative manuscripts in his hand-writing. suggestions have been made that its content is incompatible with someone (such as valeriano) who had close bonds with the franciscans, and others have suggested that the "huei tlamahuiçoltica" is a unitary work which – despite the considerable objections against such a possibility – de la vega wrote, with the assistance of a collaborator. nevertheless, the general consensus among mexican scholars (ecclesiastical and secular) remains that valeriano is indeed the author of the "nican mopohua". at italy's instigation, the un moratorium on the death penalty resolution was presented by the eu in partnership with eight co-author member states to the general assembly of the united nations, calling for general suspension (not abolition) of capital punishment throughout the world. it was twice affirmed: first, on 15 november 2007 by the third committee, and then subsequently reaffirmed on 18 december by the united nations general assembly resolution 62/149. new zealand played a central role facilitating agreement between the co-author group and other supporters. it calls on states that maintain the death penalty to establish a moratorium on the use of the death penalty with a view to abolition, and in the meantime, to restrict the number of offences which it punishes and to respect the rights of those on death row. it also calls on states that have abolished the death penalty not to reintroduce it. like all general assembly resolutions, it is not binding on any state. on 18 december 2007, the united nations general assembly voted 104 to 54 in favour of resolution a/res/62/149, which proclaims a global moratorium on the death penalty, with 29 abstentions (as well as 5 absent at the time of the vote). italy had proposed and sponsored this resolution. after the resolution's approval, italian foreign minister massimo d'alema declared: "now we must start working on the abolition of the death penalty". on 18 december 2008, the general assembly adopted another resolution (a/res/63/168) reaffirming its previous call for a global moratorium on capital punishment 106 to 46 (with 34 abstentions and another 6 were absent at the time of the vote). working in partnership with the eu, new zealand and mexico were co-facilitators of the draft text which was developed over a period of six months, which chile then presented to the un general assembly on behalf of cosponsors. on 21 december 2010, the 65th general assembly adopted a third resolution (a/res/65/206) with 109 countries voting in favour, 41 against and 35 abstentions (another seven countries were absent at the time of the vote). on 20 december 2012, the 67th general assembly adopted a fourth resolution (a/res/67/176) with 111 countries voting in favour, 41 against and 34 abstentions (another seven countries were absent). on 18 december 2014, the 69th general assembly adopted a fifth resolution (a/res/69/186) with 117 countries voting in favour, 38 against and 34 abstentions (another four countries were absent). on 19 december 2016, the 71st general assembly adopted a sixth resolution (a/res/71/187) with 117 countries voting in favour, 40 against and 31 abstentions (another five countries were absent). the un moratorium campaign was launched in italy by the association hands off cain, affiliated to the nonviolent radical party., "ips", 2006 the association against death penalty and torture was founded in rome in 1993 by former left-wing terrorist and now nonviolent politician and human rights' activist sergio d'elia, with his first wife mariateresa di lascia and italian radicals' liberal leaders marco pannella and emma bonino (former european commissioner). in 1994 a resolution for a moratorium was presented for the first time at the united nations general assembly (unga) by the italian government. it lost by eight votes. since 1997, through italy's initiative, and since 1999 through the eu's endeavour, the united nations commission of human rights (unchr) has been approving a resolution calling for a moratorium on executions with a view to completely abolishing the death penalty, every year. the 2007 vote at the third committee of the united nations general assembly saw intense diplomatic activity in favour of the moratorium by eu countries, and by the nonviolent radical party itself; the catholic community of sant'egidio joined forces by submitting to the u.n. an appeal and 5,000,000 signatures asking for the moratorium to be passed..

"your bus", another operator set up by ex-united employees, entered into darlington in may 1993, prompting a response from united with further registrations, later described as predatory and anti-competitive by the competition commission. by 1993, with 3 competing operators, concerns had been raised over 'over-bussing' and congestion in the town centre. by 1994 all three operators were making financial losses. due to its financial state, dtc was put up for sale in july 1994. in response to the sale announcement, united registered additional services on dtc's routes. in early 1994 independent busways had explored the possibility of entering into the darlington market, as a possible option for expansion. this was shelved as bids from major groups for the busways company were considered. busways were sold to stagecoach group in july 1994. after a meeting with stagecoach executives, the decision was made to enter darlington, either through a bid for dtc, or as a new operator. accordingly, busways as a subsidiary company set up "stagecoach darlington", and registered a small network in darlington in september 1994, due to start in december, as a result of concerns over availability of drivers. exclusive bids for dtc by stagecoach had been previously declined. according to government rules, dbc were obliged to sell dtc by competitive tender. after initial enquiries, from 11 initial interested parties, 3 were short listed as preferred bidders for dtc on 14 october 1994: as united were already a competitor in the town, they were barred from the bid process on competition grounds. accordingly, on 24 october 1994 dbc selected yorkshire traction as the preferred bidder. on learning of the successful bid by yorkshire traction, the drivers union of dtc made representations to busways that yorkshire traction were not their preferred bidder, and the majority of drivers would probably be interested in joining busways' new operation. accordingly, with worries over recruitment and training now reduced, busways registered all of dtc's commercial routes, and commenced a recruitment drive. busways quickly recruited over 60% of dtc's drivers by 7 november. amid concerns that dtc would not be able to fulfil its services due to driver shortage, and with concerns over united having a free hand in darlington if dtc collapsed, busways requested an advance on their registration date. this was refused. busways exploited a loophole in the regulations, and began operating free buses on their darlington network. busways called in several vehicles from its other subsidiaries, and repainted several of its surplus leyland atlanteans into stagecoach stripes, notable because none of busways atlanteans were ever painted in stagecoach livery. in response to busways initial route network, and on commencement of driver recruitment, yorkshire traction withdrew their bid for dtc on 2 november. dbc were unable to reach a sale with any other buyer, and busways declined a new approach. with no other buyers, with difficulty running their services due to driver shortage, and ongoing concern at the financial viability of dtc in the long term, dtc was placed into administration on 9 november 1994, with all services withdrawn by 11 november. due to dtc's collapse, busways was then granted permission to start running revenue collecting services from 28 november. your bus ceased operations on 16 december, selling its vehicles to west midlands travel. this left just busways and united operating in darlington. on the instigation of dbc, still concerned at over-bussing and congestion, both companies agreed to reduce service levels by march 1995. in the summary of the competition inquiry into the larger issues in bus services in the north east, concerning the collapse of dtc, the commission stated: ""it was the combination of busways' actions in recruiting so many of dtc's drivers so quickly, registering services on all its routes and running free services which caused dtc's final collapse. we find these actions to be predatory, deplorable and against the public interest."" it stated that while registration of routes and recruitment of competitors drivers was not against the spirit of deregulation, it commented that the scale of busways actions were unprecedented, and were attributable to busways considerable dominance in the region, and ability to absorb losses due to free services. in response to the inquiry report, busways defended its actions in launching free services as being intended to prevent united gaining a monopoly in darlington after the collapse of dtc, and only expected to run free buses until the traffic commissioner could bring forward its registrations. it denied poaching dtc's drivers highlighting that the drivers had instigated contact with busways first, when it became clear busways would not be purchasing dtc. it contended it had always intended to enter the darlington market through purchase of dtc if an appropriate price was agreed, to preserve goodwill and prevent a driver shortage of their already intended entrance. it also contended that yorkshire traction's bid was unrealistic given the market, and contended that its price indicated that yorkshire traction anticipated being the only eventual operator in darlington, thereby possibly acting as an agent for united. it contended that yorkshire traction's attempts to reduce its bid while still only aware of stagecoach's initial small registration, supported this belief. stagecoach management broadly agreed with the actions of busways as being fair in the environment of deregulated bus services and within the confines of the rules governing registration of services and the instruction of compulsory tender sale of municipal bus companies. it did concede that possibly the free bus services had not been necessary and it could have achieved market entry by waiting for the traffic commissioner to advance its registrations once evidence of dtc's impending failure came to light. stagecoach saved approximately £100,000 in the cost of market entry in not purchasing dtc, even after 2 weeks of free operation and paying bonuses to dtc drivers for joining busways. in november 1994, stagecoach completed the purchase of cleveland transit, and in december the purchase of hartlepool transport. stagecoach darlington was later transferred to transit under the umbrella of stagecoach north east. yorkshire traction eventually came under stagecoach ownership. united automobile services eventually came under the ownership of arriva. stagecoach later sold its darlington operation to arriva, leaving darlington bus services solely in the hands of arriva. stagecoach chairman brian souter later went on record to say the negative impact of stagecoach's actions had outweighed any financial gain it had made from operating in darlington. since the bus wars, bus use in darlington has declined from over 10 million journeys a year (in 2001) to 6.6 million (in 2014). the foundational questions institute, styled fqxi, is an organization that provides grants to "catalyze, support, and disseminate research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology." it was founded in 2005 by cosmologist max tegmark, who holds the position of scientific director. it has run four worldwide grant competitions (in 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2013), the first of which provided us$2m to 30 projects. it also runs yearly essay contests open to the general public with $40,000 in prizes awarded by a jury panel and the best texts published in book format. fqxi is an independent, philanthropically funded non-profit organization, run by scientists for scientists, with a scientific advisory board including john barrow, nick bostrom, gregory chaitin, david chalmers, alan guth, martin rees, eva silverstein, lee smolin, frank wilczek, and dieter zeh. the $6.2 million seed funding was donated by the john templeton foundation, whose goal is to reconcile science and religion. tegmark has stated that the money came with "no strings attached"; the "boston globe" stated fqxi is run by "two well-respected researchers who say they are not religious. the institute's scientific advisory board is also filled with top scientists." critics of the john templeton foundation such as sean carroll have also stated they were satisfied that the fqxi is independent. according to fqxi, its membership includes the following people: pisaczów () is a village in the administrative district of gmina siekierczyn, within lubań county, lower silesian voivodeship, in south-western poland. george sheringham (13 november 1884 – 11 november 1937), was a british painter and theatre designer. one of the first recipients of the royal designers for industry distinction in 1937, he is remembered for his work for the d’oyly carte opera company. sheringham was born in london, the son of an anglican clergyman. he was educated at the king’s school, gloucester, the slade school of art (1899–1901), and the sorbonne, paris (1904–06). he first exhibited in paris and later in venice, brussels, and berlin. his one-man exhibitions included one in paris in 1905, in london at the ryder gallery the same year, one in melbourne, one in new york and seven more in london. he exhibited with the international society from 1922. though best known as a stage designer and decorative artist, sheringham also illustrated books by max beerbohm (including "the happy hypocrite" (1915)) and edmond rostand ("la princesse lointaine", 1919). in 1917, he illustrated "canadian wonder tales" by cyrus macmillan. in 1921, he collaborated with his brother hugh on a book about fishing, "the book of the fly rod". he wrote "drawing in pen and pencil" (1922), with james laver, "design in the theatre" (1927). and with rupert mason and r. boyd morrison he edited "robes of thespis, costume designs by modern artists" (1928). as a decorator, sheringham designed the music room at 40 devonshire house, london; a series of paintings for seaford house, london, for the 8th baron howard de walden (also baron seaford) to illustrate his celtic poem, "the cauldron of anwn"; the ballroom at claridge's hotel; and the paris exhibition of 1937. he also created commercial designs used in home decorations. when, in 1936, the royal society of arts established the prestigious royal designers for industry distinction, sheringham was one of its first recipients in 1937. sheringham also became known as a designer of fans. sheringham designed scenery and costumes for ballets, opera and straight theatre including "the clandestine marriage", "the skin game", "the lady of the camellias", "othello", "love in a village", "derby day", "the duenna", and the stratford memorial theatre's opening production of "twelfth night", and "hamlet". in the theatre he worked closely with the actor-manager nigel playfair. for d’oyly carte, he designed new productions of "h.m.s. pinafore" (1929); "the pirates of penzance" (1929); "patience" (1929, with other designs contributed by hugo rumbold); "trial by jury" (costumes only) and "iolanthe" (costumes only, 1932). sheringham obtained a grand prix at the paris salon in 1925 for mural and theatrical design. an invalid from 1932, he continued to paint flowers. in 1937, george sheringham died on 11 november in his home in hampstead, london, two days before his 53rd birthday.

orienteering championships, and finished third on the long distance in 2003. he is relay world champion from 2003 with the swedish team, as well as having a silver medal from 2007, and bronze medals from 2004 and 2006. he is a four-time european champion, winning the sprint distance in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. he won the classical relay race tiomila in 2006, 2007 and 2012 with his club team halden sk. he has been ranked no. 1 on the iof (international orienteering federation) world ranking (in 2001). bartholomew j. troy (1930 – 28 january 2007), known as father bertie troy and later as canon bertie troy, was a roman catholic priest and an all-ireland hurling final winning manager with cork. troy was born in newtownshandrum, county cork in 1930, the son of ellen (née flannery) and richard troy, he was educated and the local national school and later at st. colman’s college in fermoy. while he studied here troy became involved in gaelic games, particularly the college hurling team. he was a member of the college team that won their first dr. harty cup title in 1948. troy later studied for the priesthood in maynooth and was ordained for the diocese of cloyne in 1955 by archbishop mcquaid in dublin. following his ordination he served in england for a year before returning to ireland to serve as a priest in the parishes of carrigtwohill, ballycotton and kanturk. he also worked as a teacher in st. colman’s college for twenty-five years. troy later served as parish priest in midleton between 1991 and his retirement in 2005. troy was also hugely involved as a selector and a coach with a range of cork hurling teams at all levels. in the mid-1960s he became involved with the cork minor hurling side. he coached the team to win six munster titles in-a-row between 1966 and 1971. these provincial wins were converted into four all-ireland titles in the same period. during the same period troy was hugely involved with cork’s under-21 hurlers. he guided them to a record four munster and four all-ireland titles in-a-row between 1968 and 1971. many of the players that he coached at these levels went on to form the backbone of the cork senior team in the mid-1970s. in 1975 troy was joint-coach of the senior hurling team with justin mccarthy, before being appointed coach/manager in his own right the following year. in this capacity he steered the team to a record five munster titles in-a-row. these were converted into a remarkable three all-ireland titles in-a-row in 1976, 1977 and 1978, thus making troy one of the most successful managers of the modern era. in retirement from coaching he maintained a keen interest in cork’s hurling fortunes. canon bertie troy died on january 28, 2007. the industrial firm auergesellschaft was founded in 1892 with headquarters in berlin. up to the end of world war ii, "auergesellschaft" had manufacturing and research activities in the areas of gas mantles, luminescence, rare earths, radioactivity, and uranium and thorium compounds. in 1934, the corporation was acquired by the german corporation degussa. in 1939, their oranienburg plant began the development of industrial-scale, high-purity uranium oxide production. special soviet search teams, at the close of world war ii, sent "auergesellschaft" equipment, material, and staff to the soviet union for use in their nuclear weapon project. in 1958 "auergesellschaft" merged with the mine safety appliances corporation, a multinational us corporation. auergesellschaft became a limited corporation in 1960. the "deutsche gasglühlicht ag" (degea, german gas light company), was founded in 1892 through the combined efforts of the jewish entrepreneur and banker geheimrat (privy councillor) leopold koppel and the austrian chemist and inventor carl auer von welsbach. it was the forerunner of "auergesellschaft". their main research activities, up to the close of world war ii, were on gas mantles, luminescence, rare earths, radioactivity, and on uranium and thorium compounds. geheimrat koppel, who owned "auergesellschaft", was later intimately involved in the financing of and influencing the direction of scientific entities in germany. among them were the "kaiser-wilhelm gesellschaft" (kaiser wilhelm society) and its research institutes. the third reich forced koppel to sell "auergesellschaft", and it was purchased in 1934 by the german corporation degussa, a large chemical company with extensive experience in the production of metals. by 1901, "auergesellschaft" had their first subsidiaries in austria, the united states, and england. in 1906, the osram light bulb was developed; its name was formed from the german words osmium", for the element osmium, and "wolfram, for the element tungsten. in 1920, auergesellschaft, siemens & halske, and allgemeine elektricitäts-gesellschaft (aeg) combined their electric lamp production with the formation of the company osram. in 1935, auergesellschaft developed the luminescent light. their oranienburg plant, northeast of berlin, was constructed in 1926, and their "auer-glaswerke" was constructed in 1938. in 1958 "auergesellschaft" merged with mine safety appliances corporation, a us corporation; "auergesellschaft" became a limited corporation in 1960. nikolaus riehl received his doctorate in nuclear chemistry from the university of berlin in 1927, under the guidance of the nuclear physicist lise meitner and the nuclear chemist otto hahn. he initially took a position with "auergesellschaft", where he became an authority on luminescence. while he completed his habilitation, he continued his industrial career at auergesellschaft, as opposed to working in academia. from 1927, he was a staff scientist in the radiology department. from 1937, he was head of the optical engineering department. from 1939 to 1945, he was the director of the scientific headquarters. auergesellschaft had a substantial amount of “waste” uranium from which it had extracted radium. after reading a paper in 1939 by siegfried flügge, on the technical use of nuclear energy from uranium, riehl recognized a business opportunity for the company, and, in july of that year, he went to the "heereswaffenamt" (hwa, army ordnance office) to discuss the production of uranium. the hwa was interested. with the interest of the hwa, riehl, and his colleague günter wirths, set up an industrial-scale production of high-purity uranium oxide at the "auergesellschaft" plant in oranienburg. adding to the capabilities in the final stages of metallic uranium production were the strengths of the degussa corporation's capabilities in metals production. the auer oranienburg plant provided the uranium sheets and cubes for the "uranmaschine" (uranium machine, i.e., nuclear reactor) experiments conducted at the "kaiser-wilhelm gesellschaft’s" "institut für physik" (kwip, kaiser wilhelm institute of physics) and the "versuchsstelle" (testing station) of the "heereswaffenamt" (army ordnance office) in gottow, under the german nuclear energy project "uranverein". the g-1 experiment performed at the hwa testing station, under the direction of kurt diebner, had lattices of 6,800 uranium oxide cubes (about 25 tons), in the nuclear moderator paraffin. near the close of world war ii, as american, british, and russian military forces were closing in on berlin, riehl and some of his staff moved to a village west of berlin, to try to assure occupation by british or american forces. however, in mid-may 1945, with the assistance of riehl's colleague karl günter zimmer, the russian nuclear physicists georgy flerov and lev artsimovich showed up one day in nkvd colonel's uniforms. the use of russian nuclear physicists in the wake of soviet troop advances to identify and “requisition” equipment, materiel, intellectual property, and personnel useful to the russian atomic bomb project is similar to the american operation alsos. the military head of alsos was lt. col. boris pash, former head of security on the american atomic bomb effort, the manhattan project, and its chief scientist was the eminent physicist samuel goudsmit. in early 1945, the soviets initiated an effort similar to alsos (russian alsos). forty out of less than 100 russian scientists from the soviet atomic bomb project's laboratory no. 2 went to germany, austria, and czechoslovakia in support of acquisitions for the project. the two colonels requested that riehl join them in berlin for a few days, where he also met with nuclear physicist yulii borisovich khariton, also in the uniform of an nkvd colonel. this sojourn in berlin turned into 10 years in the soviet union. riehl and his staff, including their families, were flown to moscow on 9 july 1945. flying riehl and his staff to russia demonstrates the importance the soviets placed on the production of uranium in their atomic bomb project. eventually, riehl's entire laboratory was dismantled and transported to the soviet union. the dismantling of his laboratory began even while riehl was still being held by the soviets in berlin. work of the american operation alsos teams, in november 1944, uncovered leads which took them to a company in paris that handled rare earths and had been taken over by the "auergesellschaft". this, combined with information gathered in the same month through an alsos team in strasbourg, confirmed that the "auergesellschaft" oranienburg plant was involved in the production of uranium and thorium metals. since the plant was to be in the future soviet zone of occupation and the russian troops would get there before the allies, general leslie groves, commander of the manhattan project, recommended to general george marshall that the plant be destroyed by aerial bombardment, in order to deny its uranium production equipment to the russians. on 15 march 1945, 612 b-17 flying fortress bombers of the eighth air force dropped 1,506 tons of high-explosive and 178 tons of incendiary bombs on the plant. riehl visited the site with the russians and said that the facility was mostly destroyed. riehl also recalled long after the war that the russians knew precisely why the americans had bombed the facility – the attack had been directed at them rather than the germans. when a soviet search team arrived at the "auergesellschaft" facility in oranienburg, they had, however, found nearly 100 tons of fairly pure uranium oxide. the soviet union took this uranium as reparations, which amounted to between 25% and 40% of the uranium taken from germany and czechoslovakia at the end of the war. khariton said the uranium found there saved the soviet union a year on its atomic bomb project. gmina lubin is a rural gmina (administrative district) in lubin

the fifth tier of the english rugby union system (north premier), having been relegated from national league 2 north at the end of the 2017-18 season. their home ground is at crow trees, swalwell, tyne and wear. the blaydon first team are presently the fourth highest placed league team in the north east (behind premiership side, newcastle falcons, national league 1 club darlington mowden park r.f.c. and national league 2 north tynedale rfc). due to blaydon's close proximity to the falcons, increasingly many of the falcon's promising academy players have been given invaluable experience at blaydon. blaydon run various youth teams, ranging from under-7 to under-19. christian michael ribeiro (born 14 december 1989) is a welsh retired professional footballer who played as a defender. he began his career at bristol city, and turned down a move to everton in order to make his professional debut for the club in 2008, suffering an injury in the first half that ruled him out for 11 months. he had loans at stockport county, colchester united, carlisle united and scunthorpe united before moving permanently to the latter in 2012. in his two seasons as a scunthorpe player, the team were relegated from, and promoted back to, league one. he then represented exeter city, and two years later moved to oxford united. he retired in november 2017 due to a knee injury. born in wales and raised in england, ribeiro won 20 caps and scored two goals for his country at youth level. in 2010, he played twice for the welsh senior team. ribeiro was born in neath in south wales, and at the age of 6 moved to berkeley, gloucestershire, and then onto ruscombe near stroud in his teenage years. he attended marling school. his father coached his youth team wanswell wanderers. ribeiro's surname comes from his paternal portuguese heritage. ribeiro came through the youth system at bristol city before earning his first professional contract, lasting two and a half years, with the club in december 2006. his first team debut came nearly two years later in a 2–1 win over peterborough united in the football league cup first round on 12 august 2008, but he was replaced after just 34 minutes after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament; the game at ashton gate finished 2–1 to city. the injury kept him out until next july. prior to his injury, he was linked with a move to premier league side everton, whose manager david moyes was to offer £750,000 for his signature. ribeiro quickly dismissed the approach by stating: "i felt i had a better chance of playing at bristol city and i was proved right because i got into the first team, it just so happened that was when i got injured." he reflected in 2011 "i can see friends playing in the premier league and the championship week-in, week-out, and if only i hadn't had those injuries then i might be doing the same. but you can't go back. i'm very driven and ambitious and if i want to get there i just have to give 100 per cent in everything and show people what i can do". having made just one appearance during the 2009–10 season due to another injury sustained while international duty, ribeiro was allowed to join football league one side stockport county on a one-month loan deal with a 24-hour recall clause. he made his football league and stockport debut in a 3–1 home defeat to exeter city later that day. after a month, he decided to extend his loan period to 9 january 2010. however, at the end of december, manager gary johnson opted to exercise the recall clause following an injury and suspension crisis that saw lewin nyatanga, jamie mccombe and brian wilson unavailable. the following january, he went on loan again in league one, to colchester united, until a groin injury ended his spell. ribeiro made his league debut for bristol city in a 2–2 home draw with newcastle united on 20 march 2010. on 2 november 2011, ribeiro was loaned to carlisle united of league one for the remainder of the calendar year, as a replacement for the injured frank simek and james tavernier who was to return to newcastle united. in may 2012, ribeiro was released by bristol city after learning that his contract would not be renewed. on 11 january 2012, ribeiro was loaned to scunthorpe united for two months. following on from his 10-game loan deal, he signed a two-year contract with the option of a third on 9 july 2012, joining at the same time as mike grella. he scored the first goal of his professional career on 17 november, opening a 2–2 draw against notts county at glanford park, curling the ball after a one-two with mark duffy. ribeiro's only other goal for scunthorpe came on 15 december in a 3–1 win at leyton orient, again scoring the first goal of the game and again assisted by duffy. the club announced on 8 may 2014 that he would be released at the end of the season, despite playing 21 games as they won promotion back to league one. on 21 august 2014, ribeiro signed for league two side exeter city after a successful pre-season trial. the club were under a transfer embargo due to financial issues and ribeiro was carrying an injury which was likely to remain until september. he made his debut for the club on 6 september, starting in a 1–2 home defeat to mansfield town at st james park. on 11 october he scored his first goal for exeter, a headed consolation in another home loss by the same score against hartlepool united; a second came on 6 december as a late equaliser for a 1–1 draw against burton albion. on 14 june 2015, ribeiro signed a new contract with exeter, despite reported interest from championship side birmingham city and league one sides swindon town and shrewsbury town. he scored a career-best four goals in 35 games over the campaign, including late winners in home games against hartlepool united on 12 september, and accrington stanley on 23 january. his contract expired in may 2016, and he was not offered a new one. ribeiro signed for newly promoted league one side oxford united on 28 june 2016, on a two-year deal. he suffered a fractured ankle in pre-season training in august 2016 and was sidelined for the most of the 2016–17 season. he made his belated debut against bradford city on 14 april 2017, with only four games remaining in the season. he played 14 times in 2017–18 (10 in the league), scoring once, before a knee injury forced him to retire in november 2017, at the age of 27. ribeiro played at various youth levels for wales. on 24 september 2005, he scored a 25-yard goal for the under-17 team in their 2–0 qualifying win over estonia in rhyl. he took part in the under-19 squad that played in the milk cup in 2007. on 12 november 2007 he was called up for the under-21 team for the matches against bosnia and herzegovina and france. ribeiro scored once for the under-21 team, opening a 2–1 win over italy on 4 september 2009, in a european qualifier at the liberty stadium. he was first called up to the senior squad for the 2010 world cup qualifier against russia later that month, calling his selection by john toshack a "fantastic reward" that was deserved due to his battles with injury and adding that he would learn by training against other welsh internationals like craig bellamy. ribeiro made his debut on 23 may 2010 against croatia at the gradski vrt stadium, osijek, replacing chris gunter for the last nine minutes of a 2–0 loss. he was the last of five welshmen to make their debut that day, and was tasked with marking luka modrić, but suffered a slipped spinal disc which ruled him out again. on 12 october, he earned his only other cap as wales fell 4–1 away to switzerland in a uefa euro 2012 qualifying match, replacing darcy blake after 55 minutes. he fouled tranquillo barnetta for a penalty which gökhan inler scored. despite the brevity of his international career, ribeiro expressed pride in 2016 that he had played alongside players who took wales to the semi-finals at that year's european championship, among them gareth bale and aaron ramsey. monsignor thomas "tommy" maher (25 april 1922 – 25 march 2015) was an irish catholic priest and irish hurler who played as left wing-forward for the kilkenny senior team. born in gowran, county kilkenny, maher first played competitive hurling during his schooling at st. kieran's college. he arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-three when he first linked up with the kilkenny senior team. he made his senior debut during the 1945 championship. maher had a brief inter-county career and won one leinster medal as a non-playing substitute. he was an all-ireland runner-up on one occasion. at club level maher had a brief career with castle rovers and thomastown. in retirement from playing maher became involved in team management and coaching. as trainer and coach of the kilkenny senior team for over twenty years he guided the team to seven all-ireland titles, fourteen leinster titles and three national hurling league titles. maher also found much success at club level with mullinavat and at colleges' level with st. kieran's college. monsignor maher studied for the priesthood in maynooth college and

nobles were elected on 23 april, and the nine people's representatives on 24 april. a total of 32,000 people turned out to vote, giving a turnout of 48%. 71 candidates had filed for the people's representatives' seats, among them eight women. all nine incumbents stood for reelection, with six retaining their seats. most of the pro-democracy mps were returned, despite several facing charges of sedition over the 2006 nuku'alofa riots reportedly, all nine elected mps were pro-democracy activists. these elections were the last ones before democratic reforms expected to be implemented in 2010, which would change the seat balance as follows: 17 mps would be popularly elected, nine mps would be elected by the nobles and four mps appointed by the king. viliami uasike latu requested a recount in vava'u, the constituency he contested, as he missed out on the second seat there by only 51 votes; the recount was conducted from 5 to 9 may at the office of the governor of vava’u. latu lose the recount on 14 may after an increase to the other candidate, samiu kuita vaipulu from 1,896 votes to 1,902 votes while latu received a very narrow decrease of two votes from the original 1,845 votes to 1,843 votes. about two weeks before the election, it was announced that the tonga broadcasting commission would henceforth censor candidates' political broadcasts, and that tbc reporters would be banned from reporting on political matters, allegedly because they lacked the necessary training for objective coverage. the decision was criticised by the pacific islands news association, and new zealand's minister of revenue, peter dunne, commented that it was "unfortunate". tonga review said that the decision was a restriction on freedom of speech, and compared tonga with zimbabwe, a comparison rejected by the tbc. tongan mp clive edwards said that the tbc's decision was aimed at stifling criticism of the government in the lead-up to the election, and to hamper the re-election chances of pro-democracy mps. pesi fonua, head of the tonga media council, said that the election "very much depends on how the candidates present themselves", and that censorship would "definitely have an impact". nine nobles were elected by the 29 eligible members of the nobility on 23 april. all 29 voters cast votes. there were no nominations, and no candidates. tu'iha'angana, outgoing speaker of the house, lost his seat in ha'apai. kent olsson (born 1958) is a swedish orienteering competitor, winner of the 1987 individual world orienteering championships, and also obtained silver medals in 1989 and 1991, as well as silver medal on the short distance in 1991. participated on the swedish team that obtained bronze medals in 1983 and 1987, and silver medal in 1989 (world championships, relay). olsson was elected "årets orienterare" by swedish sports journalists in 1982, 1986 and 1987. the german national rail strike of 2007 was a strike in germany by the locomotive engineers union, gewerkschaft deutscher lokomotivführer (gdl, or german train drivers' union), which began on november 14, 2007 and ended on november 17, 2007. the union struck deutsche bahn, the state-owned company which operates the german rail system. it was the largest strike in history (as of 2007) against deutsche bahn. german train drivers' union/gewerkschaft deutscher lokomotivführer (known by its german initials, gdl) is a relatively small union which represents about 34,000 train drivers in germany. in the fall of 2007, the union demanded a 31 percent wage increase from deutsche bahn, the state-owned company which operates the german rail system. the wage demand was far higher than the 4.5 percent wage increase won in july by transnet gewerkschaft (transnet) and verkehrsgewerkschaft gdba (gdba), the railway's two other large unions which together represent about 195,000 workers. but gdl argued that german locomotive engineers are paid less than their counterparts in other european countries. deutsche bahn rejected the wage demand. the company said that it was committed to the long-standing german trade union practice of bargaining a coordinated contract with all its unions at once to create uniform wage standards. deutsche bahn argued that meeting gdl's wage demands would break this pattern and lead to wage demands from other unions. deutsche bahn countered by offering a one-time payment of €2,000 (about $2,934) and a 10 percent wage increase, with a two-hour extension of the work week. but gdl chairman manfred schell said the deutsche bahn offer was not acceptable as a basis for reopening talks. deutsche bahn refused to make another wage offer, and the company's 20-member supervisory board announced that it supported management's decision. both sides also engaged in a vitriolic war of words which held out little chance of avoiding a strike. schell accused deutsche bahn of "raping" the country and the union, and declared db had "provoked" the strike. deutsche bahn, in turn, accused gdl of "blackmail" and "madness" and said any strike would be "destructive" and an "economic disaster." schell denounced the company, declaring, "this is all a theatrical performance by the railway." any strike was considered "...a bold gamble by an isolated union." gdl represented a mere 3 percent of deutsche bahn's workforce. no other deutsche bahn union supported the engineers' strike, nor did the german federation of trade unions, deutscher gewerkschaftsbund (dgb). but gdl had a tradition of breaking with other unions in wage negotiations. gdl also believed the time was ripe for a nationwide strike. chancellor angela merkel's government had planned to sell a 49 percent stake in deutsche bahn to the public. the union believed it had to seek its wage demands now before the privatization effort began. gdl engaged in a series of strikes throughout the summer and fall designed to increase pressure on the railway prior to engaging in a nationwide walkout. a short strike occurred in july 2007, and deutsche bahn sued the union for €5 million ($7.3 million) in damages. in october and early november 2007, gdl held several short strikes against local commuter lines, stopping work for a total of 65 hours. on november 10, 2007, the union held a 42-hour strike which stopped about 90 percent of all freight trains in the country. deutsche bahn estimated the november 10 freight strike cost €50 million ($73 million) each day. public sector workers in germany have a severely restricted right to strike. deutsche bahn had previously won a court ruling limiting any strike to local service. but in early november 2007, the gdl union won the right to strike freight and long-distance trains as well. gdl announced that the strike against freight service would begin at noon central european time (cet) on november 14, while the strike against local and long-distance passenger trains would start at 2:00 a.m. cet on november 15. the union said the walkout would end at 2:00 a.m. cet on november 17, 2007. both strikes began on schedule. chancellor merkel, adhering to the federal government's tradition of not intervening in labor disputes, declined to intervene. but other federal government officials pleaded for the resumption of negotiations. transport minister wolfgang tiefensee said ministry officials were working behind the scenes to mediate the dispute. as anticipated, the strike affected train service nationwide. however, the company brought in 1,000 managers and other employees to keep trains running. still, more than 40 percent of all freight trains were halted. while 50 percent of regional passenger trains in western germany were running, only one in 10 regional passenger trains operated in eastern germany. disruptions in local service varied. in berlin and munich, commuter service was only minimally interrupted, but by the end of the day only a third of all trains had run. but in hamburg, frankfurt and stuttgart, major cutbacks in train schedules occurred. in north rhine-westphalia, germany's most populous state, trains ran every hour. two-thirds of the country's high-speed intercityexpress trains were running normally. the economic impact of the strike appeared to be heavy. deutsche bahn said the strike cost it €50 million ($73 million) a day. automobile manufacturers, which depended heavily on trains for moving vehicles, found inventories backing up immediately. audi shuttered at least one plant in order prevent an additional backlog from occurring. seaports, especially hamburg, were clogged with containers. germany's steel industry, which transports half its goods by rail, was also badly affected. federal officials expressed public concern that the strike could affect the economy, which had slowed in recent months public support for the strike was relatively strong. unscientific polls of commuters by newspapers and television stations showed support for the train drivers. a scientific poll conducted by infratest dimap for the public-service broadcaster ard found that 61 percent of the people support the workers. of 1,003 people surveyed, 47 percent said deutsche bahn was to blame for the strike, while only 25 percent fingered gdl. nevertheless, the ard poll found that public support for the union had slipped by five percentage points since mid-october. a second poll for the public opinion company forsa for the newspaper "bild" showed only 45 percent of the public supported gdl. as the strike neared its conclusion, gdl chairman schell said he was open to a 31 percent pay increase without a separate collective bargaining agreement. other union leaders suggested that the union might even accept a pay raise as low as 15 percent. but schell and other union officials reiterated their determination to win the labor dispute. schell announced that the union might engage in a new, open-ended strike if no new offer was forthcoming from the employer. one report suggested that the union might extend its current strike through christmas. deutsche bahn did not take such threats lightly. it advertised throughout europe for new train drivers. the company received 5,000 applications, and hired 1,000 new drivers. deutsche bahn said the newly hired locomotive engineers would be used to meet increases in demand, and not to help break any future strike. the national rail strike ended as the union had planned, at 2:00 a.m. cet on the morning of saturday, november 17, 2007. gdl chairman schell declared that the union was "very happy" with the results of the national rail strike. however, schell threatened another national rail strike if the union did not receive a new wage offer from deutsche bahn by november 19, 2007. schell said the union would meet early on the week of november 19 to decide its next move. several news outlets subsequently reported that deutsche bahn planned to make a new wage proposal in order to avoid an indefinite strike. at least one newspaper said deutsche bahn planned to agree to the union's primary demand—a different contract from the one reached with the railway's two other labor unions last july. gdl and db finally concluded a separate agreement for 30,000 gdl members on 9 march 2008. this agreement was eventually approved by the bargaining association formed by transnet and gdba and was thus extended to the engine drivers in these two trade unions. the agreement took retroactive effect from 1 march 2008. approximately 40,000 work days had been lost due to the strike in 2007 by contrast, in january 2009, db was able to conclude an agreement that covered all 3 trade unions after only 2 weeks of negotiations. the belarusian parliamentary election, 2008 was held in belarus on 28 september 2008. the 110 seats in the house of representatives were at stake. lidia yermoshina, the chairperson of the central election commission, announced on 29 august that 276 candidates were registered for the election; 365 people initially sought to run, but five withdrew and candidate registration for 84 others was rejected. just prior to the election, the number of the registered candidates was reduced to 263; 82 of the candidates were members of political parties, the others were non-partisans loyal to the government. they included chief executives of local authorities and medical institutions, and top managers of large enterprises. the election was attempted to be monitored by 925 international and more than 17,000 local observers, including an organization for security and co-operation in europe (osce) mission consisting of some 450 members from 43 countries. belarusian citizens abroad were able to cast their votes at 40 polling stations located in 31 countries. advance voting occurred on september 23 through september 26 and was characterized by active participation: more than 26% of registered voters cast their ballots. voter turnout was reported to be 76.7%. according to the osce, the elections were undemocratic and the work of international observers was seriously hindered as the observers were refused access to the facilities where the votes were counted. but according to a cis election observation mission, the elections in belarus conformed to international standards. according to the official results the oppositional parties failed to gain any of the 110 available seats, all of which were given to parties and non-partisan candidates loyal to president alexander lukashenko. the central election commission declared this to be due to the overwhelming popular fear of mass demonstrations and of the "radical political changes" demanded by the opposition. this declaration was met with immediate anti-governmental demonstrations in the centre of minsk protesting against electoral fraud. president lukashenko commented that the opposition in belarus is financed by foreign countries and is not needed. fans4writers is a fan activist movement which supported the striking writers of the wga during the 2007 writers guild of america strike. the organization was not associated with the wga, and indeed was notable for its unprecedented show of solidarity by individuals who were neither directly involved in contract negotiations, nor had a financial stake in the outcome. while the group was first proposed by fans of joss whedon, it came to embrace more than 40 self-identified fandoms. they called themselves "fans of tv shows and movies, fans of actors, fans of directors, fans of producers, crew and everyone involved in the team effort of crafting wonder. but most of all we are fans of writers, because they are where the wonder begins. they write the words we remember, they create the characters we love, they think up the lines that stay with us forever. as supporters of the people behind the scenes, who develop and write the stories that have meant so much to so many, we wanted to do something tangible to show them that we support the writers guild of america strike." fans4writers solicited financial support for its activities, which included bringing food to picket lines and skywriting messages of support at the rose bowl. money left over after the strike was contributed to the wga strike fund. the organization stated its support for "the writers in their fight for fair treatment and equitable pay...with our thoughts, with food deliveries, with money, and we will pick up signs and march with them until a resolution is found. we do it in appreciation, and because it's right." the internet-based fan movement received some online press coverage ancillary to the strike itself, and brenda lawhorn, fans4writers' campaign coordinator, was interviewed on public radio international's "fair game". however, wga member and "battlestar galactica" writer jane espenson was quoted on fan involvement: "i'm not sure that [fan involvement], which is so clear on the internet, is being made as clear as it could be in the mainstream press...it's the stuff with the mainstream, grassroots fans who come out in amazing numbers and send us food on the picket lines every day...that's a bigger part of our everyday strike experience than the involvement of the movie stars." the organization's existence and activities highlighted one of the main sticking points in the contract negotiations—the significance of the internet and other "new media" distribution channels. the fan involvement in the strike could also be seen as an outgrowth of trends in which the audience had become more vocal as consumers of entertainment. striking writers closed the circle by soliciting fan action on their behalf and specifically referring those upset at the loss of their favorite programs to the fans4writers website, alongside the wga's own strike site, in order to register their sentiments and become involved. successful use of the internet to organize "save our show" campaigns had garnered significant attention, as when supporters of "jericho" inundated cbs with grievances in protest of the program's cancellation. this and other similar fan-organized publicity stunts on behalf of television shows appeared to have inspired wga strikers themselves to undertake a similar campaign of sending pencils to the ceos of the media conglomerates in a position to influence the alliance of motion picture and television producers. fans4writers received designation as yahoo.com's site of the day on november 21, 2007. the 1961 cccf championship was played in march 1961 in san josé, costa rica. costa rica emerged as champion. it was the final edition of the tournament, as shortly afterward the cccf was subsumed into concacaf. yosef eliyahu chelouche (, , 1870 – 23 july 1934) was one of the founders of tel aviv, an entrepreneur, businessman and industrialist. yosef eliyahu chelouche was born in jaffa, ottoman syria. his father, aharon chelouche, one of the prominent figures of the local north african jewish community, was a goldsmith, money changer and land dealer. he was educated in a jewish talmud torah and in the tifereth israel jewish school in beirut. his marriage at the age of 17 had put an end to his formal education, and he turned to the field of trade. during the early 1890s he opened in jaffa, together with his elder brother avraham haim chelouche, a store for building materials under the name of chelouche frères. the same name was used some years later also for a factory for cement-based prefabricated building products founded by the brothers, which operated until the end of the 1920s. his business in the field of construction and the land trades of his father made chelouche involved in the actual process of building. he started working also as a building contractor, a framework in which he got to build different kinds of buildings in northern jaffa and later in tel aviv, the most significant of them were the feingold houses in yefeh nof (bella vista) neighborhood, the girls school and the alliance school in neve tzedek, 32 of the first dwellings of ahuzat bait neighborhood (later to be tel aviv) and the edifice of the herzliya hebrew gymnasium. during the same time he also occupied himself – single-handedly or cooperating with others – in the business of land purchase in the environs of tel aviv and also in other parts of the country. besides his private business, chelouche dedicated much of his time for public matters. above all was his concern for the development of the two cities he had spent his life in – jaffa and tel aviv – and for its inhabitants welfare. along with his wife, freha simha chelouche (née moyal), he was among the first founders of tel aviv. after world war i he was a member of the town's first local council. during the 1920s he was also a member of jaffa's city council. in his public activities he initiated and conceived many ideas for the improvement and enhancement of the city, ideas which not once were carried out by others. chelouche was fluent in arabic, and the language helped him in many times to play the role of a mediator between the jewish and arab inhabitants of tel aviv and jaffa and to bring them together. thanks to the friendly relationship he made with the leaders of the arab populace he could find an attentive ear among them during times of peace as well as incidents and tension. as a member of hamagen association, chelouche had made many efforts, even before world war i, to convince, through essays published in arab newspapers and meeting with arab public figures, that there is no inherent conflict of interests between the jewish settlement in palestine and the arab aspirations regarding the same territory. after the war, when the national conflict between arabs and jews became explicit and violent, chelouche tried his best to offer both jews and arabs with a different perspective on their inevitable mutual life, although his views had become more and more unpopular. during the last years of his life, chelouche was moving away from public affairs, although still active in several associations, among them was the world sephardic association in tel aviv. during those years he wrote and published essays in hebrew and arabic newspapers, trying to express a different, non-partisan, voice regarding the questions of life in palestine. yosef eliyahu and freha simha chelouche had seven children – moshe, meyir, avner, tzadok, hilel, yehudit and yoram. yosef eliyahu chelouche died 23 july 1934, three-month after the death of his wife. after chelouche's death, the city of tel aviv named a street after him (yosef eliyahu street), located near fredric r. mann auditorium (heichal ha-tarbut) in the heart of the city. during the 1920s, chelouche devoted himself to the writing of his memoir, called in hebrew "parashat hayai" ("reminiscences of my life"), which he regarded as his legacy to the future generations living in palestine. chelouche's book portrays his life, spanning from his childhood to the bloody incidents in palestine in august 1929. being a native born palestinian who was an active player in the events that took place during the region's historic transformations, chelouche's view, as revealed by his memoir, is colorful, vivid and fascinating. chelouche describes his childhood in jaffa, his years in a high-class jewish boarding school in beirut, his early marriage and his first steps in the field of construction. later on, chelouche recites his close involvement in the establishment of tel aviv as a constructor and local activist. a considerable part of the book is devoted to the events of world war i in palestine, including the deportation of the inhabitants of tel aviv to the northern parts of the land. the period after world war i is portrayed in chelouche's memoir as a time of decline in the relations between jews and arabs. chelouche recalls his personal efforts to secure peace in spite of the increasing tensions. the book concludes with two complementary essays: an open letter to the arab people that was published in a syrian newspaper following the 1929 incidents, and a piercing and agonizing epilogue in which chelouche analyzes the relations between the different peoples living in palestine. regarding the historic role of the palestinian-born jews, chelouche wrote the following words (as translated by addy cohen): and whoever is knowledgeable about the history of our yishuv from beginning till now, knows that getting closer to our neighbors and making peace with them was our first obligation, the natives, and we fulfilled it according to our conception, and if we succeeded in our task – and it was a great success – it was because we respected our neighbors and we took into consideration the fact that we had to live next to them in good relations if we need to build our yishuv in this land. however – and we utter here the bitter and terrible truth – the truth is that our leaders and many of the founders of the yishuv who came from the diaspora in order to lead us, did not comprehend the high value of relations between neighbors at all, this basic and simple rule. perhaps they did not understand, or did not want to pay attention to it, but in doing so, they are guilty of not coping with the problem, which gradually became more and more complicated, till it became the most painful problem of the yishuv. many have already written about it, discussed it and commented on it publicly, that since the day of herzl’s appearance with the idea of the political zionism, the zionist propaganda in all countries and languages described the land where we were going to establish our national home, as a land of desert and desolation, where nobody dwelt, and it was on the basis of this description, in writing and by heart, that it was only a virgin land, that all the zionist methods of the establishment of the yishuv were developed, and they included all but one thing, the attention to those inhabitants who had already been living in this land. and this attitude of indifference by the new immigrants, to their neighbors in the country, the country they meant to settle and live in. due to this attitude, our neighbors did not wish to appreciate the great benefit of our settlement activity, which was valuable to them as well. they were not satisfied with our sons, probably due to the indifference of the leaders of the yishuv, although they knew that the greater part of the national and private capital of the jews passed into their hands in various ways. and only due to this attitude of indifference, they were not satisfied to acknowledge this important fact, that they also gained many reforms and improvements in their economic and cultural life. what have they seen in us and in our work from the beginning of our settlement till today? only cold indifference, estrangement and alienation, and in addition, they also heard from our chief spokesman in the zionist press a lot of idle talk and nonsense that sometimes caused us a lot of damage. and a very interesting fact is that the muslim arabs, the enlightened ones among them, tried several times in the past, to find ways to get closer to us, because many of them already then and know it today that the jews are the only element that can bring the progress in the development, in all its aspects, to this desolate land. and the bright people among them, know also that their opposition now is only artificial, created by outside causes, by agitators. and they, as well as us, the natives, know it clearly that it is very possible to create a relationship of mutual understanding between us and them. we only have to work with tact and cautious psychological understanding, to make this relationship that was so much damaged, and apply it in concrete and true steps, mainly in correct deeds and actions, to attain the goal. and we have to build the bridge between us and them, because otherwise, all our work in the yishuv will be delayed, because it relies only on our poor resources and on british bayonets, which may change according to the spirit of the time and the political situation of the empire, as in the biblical formula from the era of the war between amalek and moses, when moses hands where heavy they raised his hands and israel won the battle and vice versa, and it is impossible for us to feel completely safe and we must not rely on british bayonets. we can build this bridge if we only adopt this true outlook, that this land is our london, that only here in this land can we find the solution to this problem, and also if approach it with pure and correct attitude, with true and compassionate relationship, not one sided, by party politics or foreign motives, which are contrary to the way of peace and truth. my greatest wish is that the chapters in my book, where i tell and describe my true and compassionate relationship with our neighbors, the muslims, would motivate the ones who intend to deal with the problem of our relationships with our neighbors, to use another method and other tactics, the methods and tactics of the natives, who have a lot of experience in the relationships with our neighbors, and to correct ,as much as possible, the twisted relations with them. "parashat hayai" was published in tel aviv in 1931 but was not widely distributed. in spite of that, the book became a unique source for historic research of the times and places it depicted, though its humanistic messages were mostly neglected. its original perspective on the possibility of jewish-arab coexistence made babel publishers from tel aviv to publish an annotated edition of the book in 2005. the think team was a team that consisted of architects, landscape architects, engineers, interactive designers and others who developed several designs for the lower manhattan development corporation's "innovative design study" that was created in order to involve the public in a creative process to redevelop the world trade center site in new york city, after it was destroyed in the september 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. after a competition that lasted more than six months and included major architecture practices from around the world, the lower manhattan development corporation (the agency charged with coordinating the reconstruction of the world trade center site) selected the think team's design for a pair of open lattice work towers that would recall the image of the twin towers while memorializing the tragedy, reconstructing the skyline and unburdening the area of office space for which there is no demand even today. although the design would have created a sort of eiffel tower experience in the heart of downtown, could have been completed by the 2006 anniversary of the attack, and had a compelling economic argument behind it, the commitment to a civic gesture on such a grand scale was rejected governor george pataki who overruled the committee he himself impanelled to make the decision. the design by daniel libeskind, which was more easily subsumed by the incumbent commercial interests at the site, was selected instead. the book "think new york: a diary of ground zero" recounts the complete experience of the team members and the evolution of the work they presented throughout the process. the book is a first hand account created by román viñoly, the think team's communications director and written with hilary lewis. the team consisted of: contributors were: engineers were: pablo de olavide y jáuregui (lima, viceroyalty of peru, 1725 january 25 – baeza, spain, 1803, february 25) was a spanish politician, lawyer and writer. he was born in a rich and influential creole liman basque family and studied at the san marcos university of lima. he hold the doctorate in theology in 1740 and the degree of law in 1742. he was appointed assistant of the consulate tribunal and "oidor" (judge) of the audiency of lima. in 1746, he was indicted for embezzlement and he had to go to spain to be prosecuted by the council of the indies in 1750. he was imprisoned briefly in 1754, but he was finally condemned in 1757 just to temporary disqualification for public offices. in 1755 he married a rich widow and traveled through italy and france. he met the most outstanding european enlightened philosophers and writers, like voltaire (who he said was "a spaniard who thinks") and his madrid house was one of the most notable meeting points of the spanish enlightened elites. thanks to his influential friends and to the new political climate after the esquilache riots (1766), he resumed his bureaucratic and political career. in 1767, he was appointed director of the san fernando and madrid royal hospices. he enthusiastically followed the reformist policies promoted by campomanes and aranda. that same year he was appointed intendent and "asistente" (corregidor) of seville and he was the first superintendent of the newly established nuevas poblaciones (new settlements) of andalusia, that were intended to exploit vast portions of arable lands. he succeeded to establish forty new settlements. as seville's "asistente", he implemented enthusiastically enlightened and reformist policies. he improved sevillian municipal treasury, public supplies, urbanism and public works. he reformed and secularised welfare assistance and planned a reform for the university of seville. he wrote a report about the project for a new agrarian law (1768), which is one of the most important spanish physiocrat writings. his alleged reformist policies provoked the opposition of the most conservative opinion. this resulted from his refusal to allow a german monk, father romauld, to build a monastery in one of the andalusian settlements "to help the (wealthy) german settlers get to heaven". the envious fr romauld let it be known that olavide was part of an indiscrete transgression concerning the spanish clergy; accusing him of reading prohibited books and speaking disrespectfully of the catholic religion. and the spanish inquisition charged him with impiety and heresy in 1775. he was thus removed from his offices, exiled from madrid, the royal residences, from sevilla and even from lima; imprisoned on remand in 1776, and condemned to eight years of reclusion in a monastery in 1778 for being a believer in the doctrines of the encyclopedie and for having kept company with voltaire and rousseau. his trial and condemnation caused great consternation among spanish and european enlightened thinkers. due to his health problems, he was authorized to bathe often in spas. in 1780, during one of these stays, in caldes de malavella, very near to the french frontier, he fled to france. he resided in paris but with no involvement in political life. he observed the french revolution with interest and sympathy but its radicalization worried him. in 1791 he moved to a castle in meung-sur-loire, but he was arrested in 1794 as a suspicious foreigner and he was imprisoned until the fall of the jacobins. the french imprisonment experience was shocking for him and he returned to religious observance and even wrote an apology of christianity, anonymously published in valencia in 1797: "el evangelio en triunfo, o historia de un filósofo desengañado" (the gospel of triumph, or the story of a disenchanted philosopher). the success of this book in the anti-revolutionary spain was great and he could return to his country in 1798. he was publicly rehabilitated and gained an annuity. he retired to baeza. pablo de olavide university, in seville, founded in 1997, is named after him. a great ellipse is an ellipse passing through two points on a spheroid and having the same center as that of the spheroid. equivalently, it is an ellipse on the surface of a spheroid and centered on the origin, or the curve formed by intersecting the spheroid by a plane through its center. for points that are separated by less than about a quarter of the circumference of the earth, about formula_1, the length of the great ellipse connecting the points is close (within one part in 500,000) to the geodesic distance. the great ellipse therefore is sometimes proposed as a suitable route for marine navigation, although for no extra computational effort the more accurate normal section may be computed. assume that the spheroid, an ellipsoid of revolution, has an equatorial radius formula_2 and polar semi-axis formula_3. define the flattening formula_4, the eccentricity formula_5, and the second eccentricity formula_6. consider two points: formula_7 at (geographic) latitude formula_8 and longitude formula_9 and formula_10 at latitude formula_11 and longitude formula_12. the connecting great ellipse (from formula_7 to formula_10) has length formula_15 and has azimuths formula_16 and formula_17 at the two endpoints. there are various ways to map an ellipsoid into a sphere of radius formula_2 in such a way as to map the great ellipse into a great circle, allowing the methods of great-circle navigation to be used: the last method gives an easy way to generate a succession of way-points on the great ellipse connecting two known points formula_7 and formula_10. solve for the great circle between formula_27 and formula_28 and find the way-points on the great circle. these map into way-points on the corresponding great ellipse. if distances and headings are needed, it is simplest to use the first of the mappings. in detail, the mapping is as follows (this description is taken from ): the "indirect" (or "inverse problem") is the determination of formula_15, formula_16, and formula_17, given the positions of formula_7 and formula_10. the "direct problem", is the determination of the position of formula_10 and formula_17, given formula_7, formula_16, and formula_15. both the inverse and direct geodetic problems for the great ellipse may be solved by using the method in earth section paths, and setting formula_59 = the position vector of a. the inverse problem is solved by computing formula_60 and formula_61 and solving for the great-circle between formula_62 and formula_63. the spherical azimuths are relabeled as formula_34 (from formula_33). thus formula_42, formula_67, and formula_68 and the spherical azimuths at the equator and at formula_7 and formula_10. the azimuths of the endpoints of great ellipse, formula_16 and formula_17, are computed from formula_67 and formula_68. the semi-axes of the great ellipse can be found using the value of formula_42. also determined as part of the solution of the great circle problem are the arc lengths, formula_76 and formula_77, measured from the equator crossing to formula_7 and formula_10. the distance formula_15 is found by computing the length of a portion of perimeter of the ellipse using the formula giving the meridian arc in terms the parametric latitude. in applying this formula, use the semi-axes for the great ellipse (instead of for the meridian) and substitute formula_76 and formula_77 for formula_20. the solution of the "direct problem", can be similarly be found (this requires, in addition, the inverse meridian distance formula). this also enables way-points (e.g., a series of equally spaced intermediate points) to be found in the solution of the inverse problem. vojtěch sucharda (6 january 1884 in nová paka – 31 october 1968 in prague) was a czech sculptor, woodcarver and puppeteer. sucharda was the founder of prague's ríše loutek ("puppet empire") theater in 1920, and he is known for restoring the wooden figures of the apostles on the prague astronomical clock, which had been heavily damaged by enemy fire in mid-may 1945. sucharda wrote a letter detailing the difficult conditions in prague at the time, which he hid in a metal case inside the restored statue of the apostle st. thomas. his hidden message was discovered 70 years later in 2018, when restorers noticed that one of the statues was heavier than the rest and an x-ray revealed the hidden message. sucharda was the brother of sculptor stanislav sucharda. as an architectural sculptor, sucharda's work includes: the new zealand under 17's football team, more commonly known as the young all whites, is controlled by new zealand football and represents new zealand in international under 17 or youth football competitions. new zealand was the host nation for the 1999 fifa u-17 world championship. the ofc under 17 qualifying tournament is a tournament held once every two years to decide the only two qualification spots for the oceania football confederation (ofc) and its representatives at the fifa u-17 world cup. since 2018 it has been renamed as the ofc u-16 championship and held in the year preceding the u-17 world cup. the following players were called up to the 2019 fifa u-17 world cup to be held in brazil. the mitsubishi mh 2000 is a 7/12 seat light utility helicopter. low levels of interest in the aircraft forced mitsubishi to halt sales of mh2000 in september 2004. the mh2000 is japan's first indigenous helicopter with mitsubishi heavy industries (mhi) having sole responsibility for developing and manufacturing the fuselage and engines. in the development of the mh2000, mhi aimed for safety, economy and low noise levels. the program was launched in 1995 to fulfill a variety of missions, include passenger and business transport, law enforcement, search and rescue and emergency medical services. the first of four developmental aircraft first flew on 29 july 1996, the second flying later that year and the remaining two used for ground testing. the mh2000 has its engine module and dynamic system positioned behind the cabin section to minimize sound levels in the passenger compartment. power is provided by a pair of mitsubishi mg5-100 turboshaft engines. the first production model was delivered on october 1, 2000 to excel air service in japan. the loss of one prototype due to tail rotor blade separation led to suspension of type certificate and redesign of tail rotor. delivered craft were modified with the new rotor and all further craft will be delivered with the new tail rotor. world aircraft information files

staffordshire, england. he attended park lane school, and at age sixteen moved to scunthorpe, lincolnshire. after moving to birmingham he first performed with various musical acts involved in the early "brumbeat" scene. james led the early 1960s band the lawmen before joining denny laine and the diplomats in spring 1963, which was soon renamed nicky james with denny laine and the diplomats. after attracting the attention of pye records producer tony hatch, nicky left the diplomats in fall 1963 to record a solo single, "my colour is blue." he continued to play in a number of bands, including the mod band the jamesons alongside john walker (aka john maus) of the walker brothers. soon, james re-united with former diplomats in a new group, the moody blues 5. two months after james's departure, the band shortened their name to the moody blues, signed to decca records, and had their first #1 hit at the end of 1964 with "go now". signing to columbia records under the name the nicky james movement, james's new project debuted in 1965 with a single version of stagger lee. among the rotating membership of the nicky james movement were john bonham, later the drummer for led zeppelin, as well as bev bevan of elo, mike pinder of the moody blues, and roy wood of the move. james then moved to philips records for 1967s "so glad we made it". four singles followed: "would you believe", "nobody but me", "time" and "reaching for the sun." james made his full-length debut with 1971's "nicky james". while doubling as a talent scout for dick james music publishers in 1966–67, nicky james signed the newly formed team of bernie taupin and elton john as staff-writers. in 1972 james signed to the moody blues's threshold records, and released two more albums: "every home should have one" (1973) and "thunderthroat" (1976), as well as four further singles, including "black dream" in 1972 and "maggie" in 1976. on 20 august 1973, the nicky james band recorded for john peel's radio show on bbc radio 1. james appeared on solo albums by moody blues members graeme edge and ray thomas, including "from mighty oaks" (1975) and "hopes wishes and dreams" (1976), where he worked with noted film composer trevor jones. he also co-wrote songs with allan clarke of the hollies and graham nash of csny. john bonham of led zeppelin described nicky james as "an incredible singer . . . he could sing any style . . . [and] he had a big following." bev bevan of elo recalled his first encounter with james: "a tall, skinny, good-looking guy with a mop of brylcreemed black hair, swept back teddy boy style . . . he launched into elvis presley's one night with you. he was sensational." "nme" described james as displaying a "perfected vocal technique that melded the blues with prevalent beat pop tendencies." james continued to write and perform well into the 21st century; after relocating to aldbourne in wiltshire, he founded stable studios and continued his prolific recorded output. he appeared in the 2006 documentary "classic artists: the moody blues", and was working on a new record when he died from complications following a brain tumour, on 8 october 2007. he left a wife, martine, and children, sami and louis. ángel imanol lafita castillo (born 7 august 1984) is a spanish former professional footballer. usually a winger, being comfortable on both sides of the pitch, he can also appear as an attacking midfielder. he amassed la liga totals of 273 matches and 36 goals during 11 seasons, representing in the competition zaragoza (two spells), deportivo and getafe. a product of hometown real zaragoza's youth system, lafita was born in zaragoza, being promoted from their reserves after stellar performances during the 2004–05 season and making his first-team – and la liga – debut on 28 august 2005 in a 0–0 draw at atlético madrid. he went on to become an important element in 2006–07, helping the aragonese to a berth in the uefa cup after contributing with 28 games and one goal, in a 2–0 away win against racing de santander on 10 december 2006. in august 2007, lafita was loaned to deportivo de la coruña which had an option to buy at the end of the campaign. after helping the galician side reach the uefa intertoto cup (with the subsequent uefa cup qualification), scoring three consecutive goals in february–march 2008, the clause was activated in july for €2 million. after being troubled with physical problems at the start of 2008–09, lafita returned to "depor" in late october 2008. he netted four times in his first seven games, including a brace against real betis in a 3–0 away success on 2 november. in july 2009, zaragoza paid the sum requested to rebuy the player but deportivo did not compel, claiming both clubs had agreed on a higher fee (€3.5 million). lafita still played the first match of the new season, a 2–3 loss at real madrid but, in september, the professional football league deemed him a zaragoza player. lafita started throughout most of the 2010–11 campaign, but also spent one month on the sidelines with a knee injury. on 30 april 2011, he scored twice in a 3–2 away win over real madrid, being also involved in the other goal as he was brought down in the box by ricardo carvalho, which resulted in a converted penalty, as zaragoza finally escaped relegation. on 29 may 2012, after failing to negotiate a new contract, lafita agreed to join getafe cf on a four-year deal. his first goal for his new team arrived on 18 november, in a 2–1 home win over real valladolid. lafita scored his sixth and seventh goals of 2013–14 on 3 may 2014, helping the madrid outskirts side to a 2–2 away draw against fc barcelona – his second in that game came in the 92nd minute. on 21 december, early into the second half of an eventual 1–1 draw at granada cf, he suffered cruciate ligament damage to his right knee, being sidelined for the rest of the season. in january 2016, aged 31, lafita moved abroad for the first time, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal at al jazira club in the united arab emirates. he made his competitive debut on the 8th, in a 2–2 draw at al-wasl fc. in april 2018, lafita announced his retirement. football ran in lafita's family: his uncle, francisco villarroya, played professionally for real madrid, deportivo and zaragoza, also being a spanish international. his father juan played 19 times with zaragoza's first team in the late 70's/early 80's, also representing cd castellón, and younger brother ignacio played for zaragoza b as well as neighbours sd huesca. the journal of financial and quantitative analysis is a peer-reviewed bimonthly academic journal published by the michael g. foster school of business at the university of washington in cooperation with the w. p. carey school of business at arizona state university and the university of north carolina's kenan-flagler business school. it publishes theoretical and empirical research in financial economics. topics include corporate finance, investments, capital markets, securities markets, and quantitative methods of particular relevance to financial researchers. together with the "journal of finance", the "journal of financial economics" and the "review of financial studies", the jfqa is considered to be one of the top-tier academic journals covering the discipline of finance. the acceptance rate for articles submitted to the jfqa is only 8.0%. stephen barton (born 17 september 1982) is a british film and video game composer who has lived and worked in los angeles since 2001. he has composed the music for dozens of major film, television and video game projects, including "", "titanfall", "apex legends", "" (with james cameron), and disney's "motorcity". as a child, barton was a chorister in winchester cathedral choir, later winning a prestigious dfe specialist music scholarship to study piano and composition at wells cathedral school, one of the oldest extant schools in the world. barton's film work include scores for "", "jennifer's body", tom dolby and tom williams' debut feature "last weekend", "line of fire", "mrs. palfrey at the claremont" and the bafta nominated thriller "exam". he also contributed music for the "narnia" and "shrek" franchises (including the "fairy godmother song" from "shrek 2") as well as ridley scott's "kingdom of heaven", tony scott's "man on fire" and ben affleck's "gone, baby gone". chris prynoski, the animator behind the hallucination scene in "beavis and butt-head do america", heard barton's score for "call of duty: modern warfare" and asked him to score titmouse's animated series "", which led to a further collaboration on a series for disney, "motorcity". in addition to those he also co-wrote the music for mtv's "disco destroyer", a project conceived by scott mosier, jim mahfood and joe casey and animated by titmouse, composing the score with chevy metal and my ruin guitarist mick murphy. in 2007, barton wrote the score for the highly regarded first person shooter " (with harry gregson-williams)". he teamed up with the same developers at their new company respawn entertainment to work on the music for "titanfall", an online-only multiplayer shooter. barton also created the music for the 2016 sequel, titanfall 2 and its battle royale sibling, apex legends in 2019. his other game work includes additional music for two of the "metal gear solid" games as well as the game score for dreamworks animation's "how to train your dragon". barton has collaborated frequently with sir anthony hopkins since producing the soundtrack for the film "slipstream" in 2006. he produced the decca album "composer", which topped the uk classical charts for a month in 2012, as well as collaborating with hopkins on the production of "and the waltz goes on" with andré rieu, which won the classic fm "album of the year" award in

he later became ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to brazil then the high commissioner to malaysia. mak and the dudes was a boy band from the philippines. their debut album was released in 2007, entitled "oldies but kiddies". the group consisted of makisig morales, jairus aquino, kyle balili, rhap salazar and robert villar. mak and the dudes was officially launched in 2007 on the variety show, "asap". like sugarpop of gma, the all-child group was officially disbanded in 2010 due to the reformatting of the show they appeared in, "asap". all former members became actors, with rhap salazar also becoming a solo artist and part of the movie "fr. jejemon" with late comedy legend dolphy quizon. salazar was also seen in the sitcom "luv u" in which he played a bad boy in school. robert villar moved to gma in around 2008 and is currently still an actor. the robinson open was a golf tournament on the pga tour from 1968 to 1973. it was played at the crawford county country club in robinson, illinois. terry robbins (october 4, 1947 – march 6, 1970) was an american far left activist, a key member of the ohio students for a democratic society (the s.d.s.), and one of the three weathermen who died in the greenwich village townhouse explosion. terry robbins was raised in queens county, new york by his mother olga, a hunter college alumna, and his father sam, who worked at a garment factory. when robbins was six years old, his mother began to suffer from breast cancer, which eventually caused her death three years later. as olga's health deteriorated, robbins' father hired a domestic worker, nicknamed "auntie annie" by robbins and his sister. "auntie annie" remained in the robbins employ for two years until olga died. two years after his mother's death, robbins' father remarried. robbins became withdrawn and buried himself in schoolwork. he also began to turn to poetry and music as a refuge, and with his sister and cousins discovered the musical world of the beatles, bob dylan, and barbra streisand. robbins, an avid pop music fan, drew particular inspiration from "subterranean homesick blues" (1965), a top 40 single by columbia records artist bob dylan, which would have a profound influence on forming robbins' personal and sds/weathermen identity. after graduating from lawrence high school on long island, robbins attended kenyon college in ohio in the fall of 1964 and majored in english. in his first year of college, robbins heard about dickie magidoff, a member of a far left political group called students for a democratic society, who was working in the cleveland area. in the summer of 1965, he joined magidoff and became involved in the what they called the "cleveland economic research and action project (cleveland erap)" which exposed him to a more sds members. he moved into the cleveland erap house and began helping raise capital to support their efforts. in the fall of 1965, the beginning of his sophomore year, robbins was eager to start up his own sds chapter at the kenyon college campus; he was the only official sds member during his time there. in the following 1966 spring semester, he was able to team up with the chaplain of the school and organize a student-faculty committee on the vietnam war. in an informal letter to dickie magidoff, robbins spoke of his successful strategy at the kenyon college campus and how he was able to get the support of "five faculty members and at least eighteen students to gather together and attempt to make a case for a critical approach to american foreign policy." after his sophomore year in 1966, robbins decided to drop out of kenyon college due to his unpopularity and inability to recruit students for his sds chapter. he began his summer working with the cleveland project, which was concentrating their efforts on creating an alternative school for children to attend in order to escape the perceived racial inequalities of the public school system. it was then that robbins met bill ayers and diana oughton, other sds members that were a part of the children's community in ann arbor, michigan. ayers and robbins' interest in writing became a bond between them; they collaborated for the first time, authoring a lengthy paper called "turn toward children", which discussed the educational and political philosophies of the children's community of both ann arbor and cleveland. at the end of that summer robbins left cleveland and joined ayers and oughton in ann arbor to spend some time trying to use the long history of sds to encourage more student activity at the university of michigan. robbins felt he had more in common with the members of the michigan sds. they were a much younger chapter than in cleveland and they all shared a great passion for music and sarcasm. working in partnership with jim mellen from the revolutionary youth movement, ayers, oughton, and robbins began a new faction of the ann arbor sds set out to transform sds's identity in their area. they were excited by the idea of militancy and in the words of writer jeremy varon, they used "confrontational action, in your face politics and their boisterous, even anarchic, spirit to help build large sds chapters at colleges and universities everywhere." robbins and the other founding members recognized that the politics of the old sds did not command any appeal to their younger student members. the gang felt that the younger students were now being attracted by culture and not by politics. they were in search for validation in their anger over the war. as a main member of the gang, robbins and the others embarked on a project that included: classroom disruptions, burning exams, public critiques of courses/and professors, and the disruption of the upcoming presidential elections. as student activism and community organizing became one of his passions, robbins traveled to other surrounding campuses to help other students establish their own sds chapters. while traveling back to the cleveland area, ohio sds regional staff member lisa meisel and several other students passed out leaflets that drew about a hundred people to case western reserve university to hear robbins and ayers talk about the possibility of a revolution. they addressed the issues of the draft, university complicity, women's liberation, and the protest of the upcoming presidential election. the following day, robbins and ayers led sixty students in a "shout-down" demonstration disrupting presidential candidate hubert humphrey's speech. during a 1968 spring semester visit to kent state, one of ohio's most radical chapters, robbins was able to convince a small group of activists in using a more forceful approach in their demonstration methods. in a statement from robbins and meisel titled "the war at kent state", both claimed that a war was on at kent state and demanded the university "abolish rotc because it protected imperialism by suppressing popular movements at home and abroad, end the project themis grant and the universities involvement in developing sophisticated weaponry used against people's struggles for freedom, abolish the law enforcement school and abolish the northeast ohio crime lab because both institutions defended the american status quo and protected the interests of the ruling class." the first of such action against the university began on april 8, 1969. the sds held a rally that attracted about 400 people in support of their demands and led 200 of them to march on to the administration buildings and use force to get past the police that were blocking their way. the university responded by suspending seven kent state students and ended up pressing charges against five other people. several other rallies were conducted over the next few days while the university continued to ignore the sds's demands. robbins and the remainder of the sds members reaffirmed their demands and added a fifth demand that called for open and collective hearings of the suspended students. on april 16, 1969 fellow sds member colin nieberger's university trial was to be held on campus, 2,000 supporters came to support the rally and approximately 700 of them marched to the music and speech building where nieberger's trial was being conducted. the passage from author dan berger's book "outlaws of america" describes how robbins and a few other sds members "moved past an army of athletes and policemen to successfully disrupt a university hearing on disciplinary and student-power issues." after an hour of struggle the trials were canceled and robbins was ultimately given credit for being the leader of the first student rebellions at kent state. robbins was arrested for his involvement during the demonstrations and was sentenced to serve a three-month prison term for his actions. in december 1969, robbins served six weeks of his three-month jail sentence in a cleveland area prison. in a special edition of the "new left notes" for the upcoming 1969 sds national convention, robbins and ten other sds members had created a manifesto for students to become revolutionaries. taking inspiration from bob dylan's track "subterranean homesick blues", robbins had played with the meanings of the line "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" which later became the title for the weathermen's founding statement for their organization and developed the weathermen organization's identity. in response to the resignation of mike klonsky (national secretary for sds in 1968–1969 and rym leader) and his opposition to the weather's theoretical paper and their dismissal of the white working class as "hopelessly reactionary," both robbins and mark rudd challenged klonsky's approach by insisting that the first and most urgent obligation of whites was to fight in support of the peoples of the world who were "rising up against them" and that they needed to create movements that fight, not just talk about fighting. "the aggressiveness, seriousness, and toughness of militant struggle will attract vast numbers of working class youth." being one of the people in charge of the organizing and planning the national action for the organization, robbins was based in chicago, illinois. during one of his visits to the local collectives and attending one of their meetings he had responded to a comment of a female sds member in a very offensive tone. some female members, including chicago sds/weathermen cathy wilkerson, challenged him and accused robbins of being sexist and disrespectful of a woman's opinion. after a scuffle had broken out, robbins and the women sat down to try and resolve their issues. in the end robbins and the women agreed to disagree. a kinship between wilkerson and robbins began to develop, which eventually led to an intimate relationship. in the publicity of the upcoming ""call for national action"" robbins and ayers decided to bomb one of chicago's historical monuments located at haymarket square, the exact place where they were to gather the next day. on october 6, two days before the days of rage demonstration, robbins and ayers set off a dynamite bomb that toppled the bronze policeman statue. the mayor called the act as an "attack on all the citizens of chicago, called for law and order, and appealed to the youth." this message offered a portent to the gathering members of sds. during the chaos of the chicago demonstrations robbins got hold of a tear gas tank and threw it back at one of the police officers and began shouting in the streets of his built up anger. after the chicago demonstration a few members of the weathermen began developing a secret new york collective. robbins joined with john jacobs, a columbia graduate and former progressive labor party member; ted gold, a columbia sds chapter leader; kathy boudin, a fellow member of the cleveland erap; cathy wilkerson; and diana oughton. after securing a new york city safe house, the collective was able to conspire on their next plan of actions. after the fire bombs set to ignite at judge murtagh's house, the judge who oversaw the panther 21 indictment, failed, robbins presented the group with the idea of using dynamite, a more predictable form of ammunition. robbins was an english major and poet and not very proficient in the makings of electricity and dynamite. he believed it was his job to learn how it worked and was able to obtain a basic circuit design to detonate the dynamite on a timer. according to the accounts in wilkerson's memoir, after robbins had explained the step-by-step procedure he studied, which gave exact details on how to connect the electrical timing device, another member raised the issue of a safety switch. being a novice bomb maker, robbins decided to take the responsibility of building the circuits on his own. robbins had decided that the basement was the safest place to make the bombs and moved all equipment there. the morning of march 6, 1970, while finishing up preparations to bomb the non-commissioned officers dance at fort dix, robbins and two other new york collective members, diana oughton and ted gold, blew themselves up in the explosion of a new york city townhouse. (gold was not in the basement at the time; he had just returned from the strand bookstore). the explosion originated from the basement floor of the townhouse at 18 west 11th, in which robbins and oughton had been working. other members deduced that robbins' inexperience in the art of bomb making led him to mistakenly cross wires and set off a premature detonation. the remains of the bodies found in the basement were almost unidentifiable; the police were able to identify the remains of diana oughton by a fragment of her thumb. ted gold's body was found outside, crushed under the townhouse's framework. it was only with the issuance of the first official weather underground organization (wuo) communiqué, weeks after the explosion, that terry robbins was identified as the last victim. shortly after the explosion, weathermen leaders placed john jacobs on indefinite leave from the wuo because he was the main advocate of robbins' aggressive actions. terry robbins was convinced that extreme acts of destruction was the way for the organization to move into a revolution. he was seen as the main source of the weathermen's aggressive tendencies; as friend bill ayers once said, "his extremism was an impulse in all of us." because of the explosion, the weathermen claimed to try not to hurt people: the 2011 arab games is the 12th quadrennial pan arab games and took place in doha, qatar from december 6 to 23, 2011. this was the first time that the country had hosted the multi-sport event. khalifa international stadium was the main venue for the competition. qatar was awarded rights to organise the games beating lebanon in the bidding process. arab federation for sports secretary general othman al-saad said that qatar's hosting of the pan-arab games would give the event "more momentum and significance in light of the huge capabilities and world-class sports facilities which qatar owns." khalifa international stadium was chosen to be the focal point of the games, hosting the opening ceremonies, while the closing ceremonies were held on jassim bin hamad stadium. wathnan was designed as the mascot for the games. it's a white horse, which is very important in arabian culture. initially, all twenty-two nations of the union of arab national olympic committees were scheduled to compete at the games. however, syria withdrew its team in november 2011 in protest of the arab league's suspension of the country's membership. geralt of rivia () is a fictional character and the protagonist of "the witcher" series of short stories and novels by polish writer andrzej sapkowski, as well as its adaptations, which include film, tv series, comic books and video games. geralt, one of the few remaining witchers on the continent, is a traveling monster slayer for hire, mutated and trained from an early age to slay deadly beasts. geralt was portrayed by michał żebrowski in "the hexer" film and tv series, and is portrayed by henry cavill in the netflix television adaptation. geralt, the central character, is a witcher. shortly after being born, geralt's mother, visenna, gave him away to undergo training and, eventually, become a witcher at kaer morhen—the stronghold of the witcher school of the wolf. geralt survived numerous mutations during the trial of the grasses, thanks to which he gained practically superhuman physical and mental abilities with minimal side effects. from the arduous training of witchers, he learned the handling of many weapons and became ambidextrous. he resisted the "changes" brought on by the trial of grasses better than most, which encouraged his makers to perform even more dangerous experimental procedures on him, making him lose all body pigmentation. because of his pale skin and white hair, he is also known in the elder speech as "gwynbleidd" (close to the welsh translation "blaidd gwyn"), the white wolf. despite his name, geralt does not come from rivia (although he learned how to mimic a rivian accent and is later knighted for services to the queen of rivia): young witchers were encouraged to make up surnames for themselves by master vesemir, to make their names sound more trustworthy. he once claimed that his first choice was geralt roger eric du haute-bellegarde, but this was dismissed by vesemir as silly and pretentious. after completing his witcher training, he received his wolf medallion (the symbol of kaer morhen) and embarked into the world on his horse called "płotka" (literally, "roach" with a diminutive suffix, more accurately "roachie" in english; he gave the same name to every horse he owned) to become a monster slayer for hire. even though geralt did not believe in destiny, he unknowingly demanded the unborn child of princess pavetta and her husband duny as a reward for his services by invoking "the law of surprise". the child turned out to be a girl, ciri (otherwise known as ziri coming from the elder speech word zireael meaning "swallow"). at first, geralt did not take her because women cannot become witchers. however, fate or blind chance caused geralt and ciri to cross their paths thrice, and after the death of her grandmother, queen calanthe of cintra, geralt ends up taking the girl into his care, training and loving her as his own daughter. following the short stories, the novels unfold as geralt is pulled into a whirlwind of events in his attempts to protect ciri from those who would do her harm, becoming reluctantly embroiled in the political contentions of monarchs and emperors. after seemingly being killed by a mob during an anti non-human riot at the end of the "witcher" novel saga and taken, with yennefer, to the isle of avalon by ciri, geralt's story continues in cd projekt red's video game trilogy ("the witcher", "" and ""). geralt wakes in the outskirts of the kaer morhen fortress, with no recollection of the details of his sudden reappearance. (after yennefer was captured by the wild hunt, he offered himself for her freedom. he was saved once again by ciri, and left wounded and without memory of his past in the wood near kaer morhen.) he is rescued by his fellow witchers of the school of the wolf and taken back to kaer morhen. sapkowski stated that the games are a work of art of their own and that they cannot be considered either an "alternative version", or a sequel, "because this can only be told by geralt's creator. a certain andrzej sapkowski." geralt, voiced by doug cockle, appeared as a guest character in the 2018 game "soulcalibur vi". geralt also appeared in special content for "" and "daemon x machina". michał żebrowski portrayed geralt in "the hexer" film and television series. henry cavill portrays geralt in the netflix adaptation of the books, the first season of which was released in 2019. sapkowski served as a creative consultant on the project. geralt is described as being emblematic of polish popular culture's spirit of "neo-liberal anti-politics" in the 1990s. he is a professional, carrying out his duties and unwilling to become involved in the "petty quarrels" of the contemporary politics. marek oramus compared geralt to raymond chandler's signature character philip marlowe. in 2018, gamesradar ranked him as the 6th best hero in video game history. manuel del moral fernández (born 25 february 1984), commonly known as manu, is a spanish professional footballer who plays as either a forward or winger. he played 272 games and scored 53 goals in la liga, representing atlético madrid, getafe, sevilla, elche and eibar. in segunda división, serving five other teams, he recorded 138 appearances and 29 goals. manu won one cap for the spanish national team. manu was born in jaén, andalusia. after starting his youth career with local real jaén he finished it with atlético madrid, where he played alongside braulio, and served a one-and-a-half-season loan in the second division at recreativo de huelva, appearing in only five matches during his first year. while mainly registered with the capital side's b-team, manu did play five la liga games in the 2005–06 campaign, mainly as a late substitute. manu joined madrid neighbours getafe cf for 2006–07, scoring his first top flight goal on 22 october 2006 in a 2–1 success at precisely recreativo and finishing the season with eight (squad's second-best, behind daniel güiza). the following campaign he teamed up again with braulio, and netted seven times – joint-top scorer alongside juan ángel albín – while also helping the madrid outskirts team to the quarter-finals of the uefa cup. the arrival of roberto soldado relegated del moral to a more secondary role in 2008–09, but he still appeared in 29 league contests, operating mostly on the wings. on 24 january 2010, he scored the game's only goal as getafe defeated former side atlético madrid for the first time at home in its history; on 7 november, after netting in a 1–3 home loss against fc barcelona, he became the club's best-ever scorer in the top division for the second time, surpassing precisely soldado. on 14 march 2011, manu scored three goals against athletic bilbao in only 25 minutes, one in his own net, in an eventual 2–2 home draw. he finished the season with nine goals, as getafe narrowly avoided relegation. on 23 may 2011, del moral signed a four-year contract with sevilla fc for €4 million. following the departure of winger diego capel and the ageing of striker frédéric kanouté, he was immediately cast into his new team's starting xi. on 25 october, he hit an injury-time header to earn his side one point at home against racing de santander (2–2) – he had also opened the score late into the first half. in late march 2012, manu scored braces in two consecutive 3–0 away wins, first against santander then in a local derby at granada cf. after only three competitive goals in the 2012–13 campaign, he was loaned to elche cf and sd eibar, but managed just five top-flight goals both clubs combined. on 27 august 2015, del moral signed a one-year contract with real valladolid of the second level. he continued to play in that tier in the following seasons, representing cd numancia, gimnàstic de tarragona and cf rayo majadahonda. on 7 june 2011, after his best season at getafe, del moral made his debut for spain, replacing david villa during half-time of a 3–0 friendly win against venezuela. the syro-malabar catholic eparchy of bhadravathi was created by benedict xvi's papal bull "cum ampla" as a suffragan of the syro-malabar catholic archeparchy of tellicherry. the territory of the diocese of bhadravathi thus includes two civil districts of karnataka state - shimoga and chikmagalur. in enzymology, a

the united states department of health and human services, to help states improve safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes for children and families who receive services through the child welfare system. the bureau conducts the reviews to ensure conformity with federal child welfare requirements, to determine what is actually happening to children and families in child welfare services, and to assist states in helping children and families achieve positive outcomes. the cfsrs monitor states' conformity with the requirements of title iv-b of the social security act. the first round of reviews took place between 2000 and 2004 and the second round took place between 2007 and 2010. in both rounds, all states were required to implement program improvement plans (pips) as part of the review process. the third round of cfsrs took place between 2015 and 2018; a complete aggregate report of those findings has yet to be released. specifically, the cfsrs measure seven outcomes and seven systemic factors. the outcomes measured include whether children under the care of the state are protected from abuse and neglect; whether children have permanency and stability in their living conditions; whether the continuity of family relationships and connections is preserved for children; whether families have enhanced capacity to provide for their children's needs; and whether children receive adequate services to meet their physical and mental health needs. the systemic factors measured by the cfsrs include the effectiveness of the state's systems for child welfare information, case review, and quality assurance; training of child welfare staff, parents, and other stakeholders; the services that support children and families; the agency's responsiveness to the community; and foster and adoptive parent licensing, recruitment, and retention. significant financial penalties may be assessed for failure to make the improvements needed to achieve substantial conformity. each state's program improvement plan must include measurable goals for improvement, action steps, and an implementation timeline for addressing each outcome that did not meet the requirements for the seven federal child welfare outcomes and seven systemic factors under review in the cfsr process. in enzymology, a 2-hydroxymuconate-semialdehyde hydrolase () is an enzyme that

in brazil. after almost ending the project, due to many complaints from users in his forums and technical problems, mostly caused by the fact that kurumin was based on debian unstable, which is not targeted to non-experienced users, and was the majority of kurumin users, morimoto improved it and it reached its success. in 2008, morimoto abandoned the project due to personal reasons. a new group of developers attempted to continue the project, now called "kurumin ng", and based in kubuntu, when leandro santos, the developer of kalango linux (another distro based in kurumin) joined efforts with morimoto to develop the new version of kurumin. but this new effort was short-lived and was shut down some time later. he is also the author of several books about hardware and software, especially linux, all published in brazil, his home country. he sells books and linux cds. much (if not all) of his work is free content. after abandoning kurumin, morimoto gradually left his other projects: "guia do hardware" website, then the books, and finally, all his material belongings, choosing to leave worldly affairs and live his hare-krishna religion full-time. morimoto changed his name to "caitanya chandra dasa" and lives near porto alegre, rio grande do sul. the book originated in his experience as a soldier during world war i, through which he was forced to realize "that war was one thing to the soldiers of all nations and another thing to the people at home." his intention in writing, he says, is to "bequeath a lasting memory" of this experience to the next generations, with the design of overcoming a particular kind of inertia, a tendency to regard the sanity-shattering upheavals by which new epochs are initiated as though these only append a new chapter to the end of events that have passed. this tendency to analyze without sympathy the events even of one's own lifetime, rosenstock-huessy depicts as a willful and tragic forgetfulness. we must experience the rewriting of history in our lifetime, he said, because "the world's history is our own history"; otherwise, "it would be nothing but a hopeless library of dust". the central 'thesis' of "out of revolution" (also laid out in "die europaeischen revolutionen", which adopts a different order and provides a more detailed theoretical casting of the material) was that the second millennium had created a planetary consciousness, though not yet a planetary peace. that consciousness had been formed from the great convulsions that occurred in europe in what he terms the 'total revolutions.' unlike rebellions or regime overthrows, 'total revolutions' are driven by a desire to achieve the longed for 'kingdom of heaven' - they are forms of the 'last judgment', in which one age is condemned and a new one erected to deliver the promise of the second coming. from gregory vii's desire to revolutionize the church—what rosenstock-huessy calls the papal revolution, and what is more commonly referred to as the investiture conflict—to marx and lenin's attempt to unify the workers of the world, europe and then the world have been swept up by forces which were first unleashed in the struggles to end the unbearable injustices of the past and create the promised kingdom. rosenstock-huessy analyses the major contributions/ legacies of what he calls the 'secular revolutions'—the russian, the french, the english and the german (the reformation)—and the 'ecclesiastical' revolutions—a more complex array of forces which involves a detailed analysis of the holy roman empire as he works his way, "inter alia," through the investiture conflict, the war between guelfs and ghibbelines, the italian warring states, the italian renaissance, the survival of the austria-hungarian empire, industrialisation and the founding of america and its subsequent revolution. at the heart of this bifurcation into secular and ecclesiastical revolutions is a major and recurring idea in rosenstock-huessy's work: that the great war (and after its outbreak he included the second world war) is a "marriage of war and revolution". that is, he saw that the great revolutions had created a 'circulatory spirit' forming the collective aspirations that had driven the european nations and their colonies to fight for one final peace which would lead to what he called a 'metanomical society,' a society in which there could exist a concordance of discordances, a peace in which differences could be not only be tolerated, but provide fecund tensions, as the fruits of all this struggle could be harvested. the european union, for all its flaws, provides the kind of institutional resolution, which "out of revolution" was seeking. for rosenstock-huessy, the millennium of revolution had been the outgrowth of the millennium in which the church had been formed to create fellowship and love of the neighbor. the explosions of the revolutions were the angry acts of those who could no longer bear institutions they found hateful and divisive and contrary to the very commandments that had formed the christian nations of europe. for rosenstock-huessy, that the french and russians would then turn upon christianity itself was part of the demand of the 'holy spirit,' that love must ever find new forms. he held—or rather had faith—that the next millennium would be one in which christianity would become incognito and the promised johannine age and its age of universal fellowship be realized. the historian page smith considers this rosenstock-huessy’s greatest work in english. he wrote in his book, "the historian and history": reinhold niebuhr said of "out of revolution": lewis mumford said of "out of revolution": in enzymology, a 4-chlorobenzoyl-coa dehalogenase () is an enzyme that

major label deal with interscope records. this deal would lead to the release of an ep, "mood enhancer" (1995). soon after the band members developed drug problems which resulted in the band being dropped from the label, and the group disbanded. years later, a new version of campfire girls emerged. its debut album "delongpre" (2002) is composed mostly of demo versions of the songs intended for the band's first full-length album, using recordings that were done in the mid-'90s. the album's name is the hollywood street where the band had lived and recorded. a third release, "tell them hi" (2003), received some critical praise, but their popularity did not reach critical mass. in enzymology, an acetylpyruvate hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetylpyruvate and ho, whereas its two products are acetate and pyruvate. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. the systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,4-dioxopentanoate acetylhydrolase. wien-film gmbh ("vienna film limited") was a large austrian film company, which in 1938 succeeded the tobis-sascha-filmindustrie ag (sascha film company) and lasted until 1985. until 1945 the business was owned by the cautio trust company ("cautio treuhandgesellschaft"), a subsidiary of the german "reichsfilmkammer", and was responsible for almost the entire production of films in the territory of the ostmark, as austria was called at that time. the german anschluss of austria in 1938 put an end to the country's independent film production. the german-austrian tobis-sascha-filmindustrie ag, which had already been sold, under pressure, to the cautio trust company, was transformed on 16 december into wien-film. the new company was officially presented with a new mission statement, signed by joseph goebbels: "in competition with the other arts, the purpose of film is to give form to what satisfies human hearts and what makes them shudder, and by the revelation of the eternal, transports them into better worlds." the company's expected propaganda function was thus made unmistakably clear. jews had been forbidden to work in the austrian film industry since 1935, as the german "reichsfilmkammer" had threatened to ban the import of austrian films unless the industry kept to german terms. in the drama films produced by the new company austrian themes dominated, typified by the standard viennese light romantic comedy, the "wiener film", lavish in music, costumes and sets, which mostly portrayed past times in rosy hues. from 1943/44, wien-film also made colour films, a privilege previously restricted to the ufa company. wien-film also produced cultural films. besides the production of dramas and cultural films, wien-film concentrated on the management of cinemas. across austria, the company owned 14 cinemas in vienna, berndorf, linz, steyr and steyrermühl. the vienna cinemas were the "scala", the "apollo", the "busch" and the "ufa-ton", which were used for premieres. wien-film also ran the cinemas formerly owned by kiba ("wiener kinobetriebsanstalt") and ufa, under the newly established "ostmärkische filmtheater betriebsgesellschaft m.b.h." ("ostmark film theatre company ltd"). the film production programme laid down by berlin was to make films that were rooted in the soil of the ostmark and provided distraction, in line with the government slogan "kraft durch freude" ("strength through joy"). after the end of world war ii, wien-film was confiscated by the allies as "german property". after vienna had been divided up into five zones of occupation it became apparent that the film studios in sievering and the main offices in siebensterngasse came under the american administration, but that the film workshops at rosenhügel were in the soviet sector. the sievering film studios, it was believed, were to be liquidated by the americans, in the interests of eliminating all possible competition to hollywood productions. at the end of 1945, the former head of vienna film production, karl hartl, was nominated the industry's business leader. while the soviets, according to the provisions of the potsdam agreement, took over all former "german" businesses as war reparations, the western occupying powers - great britain, the united states and france - waived their rights in this regard. for the newly refounded wien-film, this meant that they could continue work at the studios in sievering and schönbrunn, but had to write off the studios and workshops at rosenhügel. these were incorporated into , the soviet body responsible for administering austrian assets as war reparations, and operated from then on as ""wien-film am rosenhügel"". on 21 august 1945, wien-film and the state department for reconstruction ("staatsamt für wiederaufbau") signed a contract for a documentary about the restoration works in vienna. after the austrian state treaty of 1955, the company passed into state ownership. since the returns on production and the renting out of the studios were becoming less and less profitable, wien-film was wound up as a state company in 1985, leaving only a small holding company to maintain rights over earlier productions. the first directors of wien-film were general director fritz hirt, paul hach and the viennese film director karl hartl, who also remained chief of production right to the end. the making of cultural films was under the direction of dr. josef lebzelter of the former "selenophon-film" company. overall control of film productions – from the initial idea to the screening - was the responsibility of the "reichsfilmdramaturg" and later the "reichsfilmintendant". the first board meeting took place on 16 december 1938, at which the advisers were also appointed. these were: the stars of wien-film until 1945 were wolf albach-retty, elfriede datzig, marte harell, hans holt, olly holzmann, attila hörbiger, paul hörbiger, winnie markus, hans moser, rudolf prack, jane tilden and paula wessely. the directors most used by wien-film were gustav ucicky, experienced in getting across national socialist propaganda content, and e. w. emo, who between them produced a third of wien-film's 60 or so drama films. not far behind them in productivity were willi forst, who was responsible for the best productions of this period, géza von bolváry and hans thimig, followed by the brothers ernst and hubert marischka, as well as géza von cziffra, who with "der weiße traum" ("the white dream") achieved the most commercially successful of wien-film's productions. the most frequently used cameramen were günther anders, georg bruckbauer, hans schneeberger and jaroslaw tuzar. wien-film's principal composers were anton profes and willy schmidt-gentner. erich von neusser and fritz podehl were producers. for premises the only two large studio complexes in austria - the former sascha-film studios in sievering and the former vita-film workshops at rosenhügel - were acquired. in addition to these, there was also the small workshop formerly belonging to wiener kunstfilm in the "bauernmarkt" in the innere stadt and another small studio in schönbrunn. in the three years between 1939 and 1941 next to the rosenhügel studios a synchronisation complex was built, with a large and a small synchronisation hall, cutting rooms and offices. between 1939 and 1945, fifty films were made. there were also a number of delegated productions, which were carried out under the names of forst-film, emo-film, and styria-film. the following is a list of bands and musicians from yorkshire and the north east of england, sorted by town or city. those to have a number one single are shown in bold. released in 1970, "live at leeds" is the most famous live album performed by the who. the album was recorded from a concert held at the university of leeds as part of a two leg gig. the preferred recording was from the second night at hull, however the bass line failed to record so the leeds recording was used instead. it is thought by many to be the best live rock album of all time and is included in the book "1001 albums you must hear before you die". the album made it to no. 3 in the uk charts and no. 4 in the us charts. "live at leeds" is a john martyn album. he independently released this album himself in an initial run of 10,000. recorded 13 february 1975 (the sleeve incorrectly states october), at leeds university, this is an essential snapshot of martyn at what is possibly his peak. the housemartins' debut album, "london 0 hull 4", released in 1986, refers to the band's home town in the form of a sports result. the title may have been a jibe at london centrism, and whitehall itself; given that the band were known marxists, this wouldn't have been out of context. the album made it to no. 3 in the uk charts. lindisfarne's 1971 album "fog on the tyne" was named after newcastle's river, the tyne and the morning fog cover which it is widely associated. the highly acclaimed album made no. 1 in the uk album charts. the nice's 1970 album "five bridges" was named for the classical-jazz-rock piece "the five bridges suite" which occupied the first side of the lp. it was written about the uk city of newcastle and its then five bridges on the river tyne. "whatever people say i am, that's what i'm not" is the debut studio album by arctic monkeys, released on 23 january 2006 by domino. the album surpassed elastica's self-titled album to become the fastest selling debut album in british music history, shifting over 360,000 copies in its first week, and remains the fastest selling debut album by a band. it has since gone quintuple platinum in the uk. since the completion of the leeds arena (capacity 13,500) in may 2013 there are now three large, purpose-built arenas in the region, the other two being newcastle (11,000) and sheffield (13,500). the kc stadium in hull is used as a concert venue having hosted rem and the who. elland road in leeds is also used as one having hosted u2, queen, happy mondays and the kaiser chiefs. the 2011 ontario general election was held on october 6, 2011, to elect members of the 40th legislative assembly of ontario. the ontario liberal party was elected to a minority government, with the progressive conservative party of ontario (pc party) serving as the official opposition and the ontario new democratic party (ndp) serving as a third party. under amendments passed by the legislature in december 2005, ontario elections are now held on fixed dates: the first thursday of october every four years. the writ of election was issued by lieutenant governor david onley on september 7, 2011. the election saw a record low voter turnout of 48.2%. in march 2009, pc party leader john tory stepped down as leader, with tim hudak elected to be his successor. also in march 2009, andrea horwath replaced howard hampton as leader of the ndp at the leadership election. thus, both the progressive conservatives and the ndp went into the election with a new leader. green party of ontario leader frank de jong stepped down in november 2009; their leadership convention confirmed mike schreiner as their new leader. dalton mcguinty won 95 percent support for his leadership at an ontario liberal annual general meeting after the 2007 election, and ran again in 2011. did not endorse in enzymology, an acylpyruvate hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two

vihanti) is a finnish orienteering competitor, winner of the 2001 world orienteering championships, short distance, and also silver on the sprint distance same year. in france 2011, he won silver on the long distance. he also has a relay bronze medal from 2007. prehypertension, also known as high normal blood pressure and borderline hypertensive (bh), is an american medical classification for cases where a person's blood pressure is elevated above normal, but not to the level considered hypertension (high blood pressure). prehypertension is blood pressure readings with a systolic pressure from 120 to 139 mm hg or a diastolic pressure from 80 to 89 mm hg. readings greater than or equal to 140/90 mm hg are considered hypertension. classification of blood pressure is based upon two or more readings at two or more separate occasions separated by at least one week. the seventh report of the joint national committee (jnc 7) proposed the new labeling for elevated blood pressure values below 140/90 to more accurately communicate the tendency of blood pressure to rise with age. prehypertension is often asymptomatic (without symptoms) at the time of diagnosis. only extremely elevated blood pressure (malignant hypertension) can, in rare cases, cause headaches, visual changes, fatigue, or dizziness, but these are nonspecific symptoms which can occur with many other conditions. thus, blood pressures above normal can go undiagnosed for a long period of time. elevated blood pressure develops gradually over many years usually without a specific identifiable cause. however, possible medical causes, such as medications, kidney disease, adrenal problems or thyroid problems, must first be excluded. high blood pressure that develops over time without a specific cause is considered benign or essential hypertension. blood pressure also tends to increase as a person ages. to lower the risk of prehypertension progressing to hypertension, modification of lifestyle or behaviors is necessary. a low-sodium, high potassium diet is recommended, along with increasing physical activity to at least thirty minutes a day most days of the week, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight. specifically, a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables (aim for half of your meal including non-starchy vegetables, like leafy greens, beans, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.), whole grains, low in refined grains (e.g., white breads and baked goods made from white flour), low in saturated fats ( e.g., fatty cuts of meat or fried foods) and low in sodium (homemade or minimally processed) have been demonstrated through randomized controlled studies to significantly lower blood pressure. these types of diet changes alone can lower blood pressure greater than any single drug therapy. the effects of both diet and sodium reduction work together, meaning the more you improve your diet to include less saturated fat and more fruits and vegetables or lower your sodium intake significantly below what is typical in industrialized nations, like the united states, the greater the benefit will be seen. similarly, the better the quality of diet, the more the results will be seen. significant results have been seen in 30 days. some research indicates that low-fat, low-sodium diets may have little to no effect on treating hypertension, particularly in cases of diabetics. there are also links to high-carbohydrate diets heavy in refined carbohydrates (sugar, corn syrup, white flour) as potential sources for increases in blood pressure. recent research has found that low carbohydrate diets can lower weight and blood pressure in manners similar to medications. foods rich in potassium include banana, papaya, sweet potato, dark leafy greens, avocado, prune juice, tomato juice, oranges, milk, yogurt, dried beans such as navy, pinto and black beans, chickpeas, lentils, beef, pork, fish, nuts and seeds such as pistachio, almonds, pumpkin, flax and sunflower seeds. careful monitoring for signs of end-organ damage or progression to hypertension is an important part of the follow-up of patients with prehypertension. any change in blood pressure classification should be confirmed on at least one subsequent visit. the major indication for pharmacologic antihypertensive therapy is progression to hypertension. the threshold is lower in patients with diabetes, chronic kidney failure, or cardiovascular disease. the target blood pressure for these conditions is currently less than 120/80 mm hg. home monitoring of blood pressure can be used to monitor and track prehypertensive patients. this can help to raise the awareness of the patient and their doctor if their blood pressure levels rise to hypertensive levels. home monitoring can help to avoid white coat hypertension which results in blood pressure levels being elevated due to the presence of a doctor or physician in a ‘white coat’. monitoring at home or work at regular times each day helps diagnose a patient with prehypertension or hypertension. the american heart association website says, "you may have what's called 'white coat hypertension'; that means your blood pressure goes up when you're at the doctor's office. monitoring at home will help you measure your true blood pressure and can provide your doctor with a log of blood pressure measurements over time. this is helpful in diagnosing and preventing potential health problems." people using home blood pressure monitoring devices are increasingly also using blood pressure charting software. these charting methods provide print outs for the patient's physician and reminders to check blood pressure. the extent to which prehypertension constitutes a serious health concern remains controversial. several long-term studies have suggested no significant increase in all-cause mortality over long periods of time for individuals falling within the prehypertensive range. many studies further indicate a j-shaped relationship between blood pressure and mortality, whereby both very high and very low levels are associated with notable increases in mortality. on the other hand, the national heart, lung, and blood institute suggests that people with prehypertension are at a higher risk for developing hypertension, or high blood pressure, compared to people with normal blood pressure. according to some studies, prehypertension can increase the risk for heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure. one study found that a prehypertensive person is more than three times more likely to have a heart attack and 1.7 times more likely to have heart disease than a person with normal blood pressure. a meta-analysis concluded that prehypertension increases the risk of stroke, and that even low-range prehypertension significantly increases stroke risk. data from the 1999 and 2000 national health and nutrition examination survey (nhanes iii) estimated that the prevalence of prehypertension among adults in the united states was approximately 31 percent. the prevalence was higher among men than women (39 and 23 percent, respectively). a primary risk factor for prehypertension is being overweight. other risk factors include a family history of hypertension, a sedentary lifestyle, eating high sodium foods, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake. blood pressure levels appear to be familial, but there is no clear genetic pattern. in enzymology, an alkylhalidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are bromochloromethane and ho, whereas its 3 products are formaldehyde, bromide, and chloride. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is alkyl-halide halidohydrolase. other names in common use include halogenase, haloalkane halidohydrolase, and haloalkane dehalogenase. ignacio pérez santamaría (born 24 june 1980), known as nacho, is a spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a left back (he could also operate as a left midfielder). he appeared in 220 la liga games during nine seasons, scoring 13 goals combined for málaga (two spells), levante, getafe and betis. he added 124 matches and three goals in segunda división. a product of málaga cf's youth system, nacho was born in málaga, and he made his first-team debut on 23 february 2003 in a 1–1 la liga home draw against celta de vigo. he went on to play four seasons with the andalusians, with a loan to fellow league club levante ud in between. in july 2006, upon málaga's top flight relegation, nacho joined madrid's getafe cf. scarcely used during his second season he would be loaned in january 2008 to second level's real sociedad, as the basques ultimately failed to return to the top flight, with the player appearing in 16 matches – 13 as a starter. nacho was loaned again for the 2008–09 campaign, rejoining former side málaga. mainly used as a substitute he scored his first goal in his second spell in a 3–1 away win over real valladolid on 22 february 2009, helping them finish eighth immediately after promoting. in late august 2009, nacho moved to real betis in division two, for the next three seasons. during most of his stint he was used as an attacking left back, and played 34 games in his second year as the "verdiblancos" returned to the top division after two years. nacho's father and uncle, respectively, josé ignacio and juan carlos, also played for málaga. his brother perico appeared for the club's reserves. in enzymology, a beta-diketone hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are nonane-4,6-dione and ho, whereas its two products are 2-pentanone and butanoate. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. the systematic name of this enzyme class is nonane-4,6-dione acylhydrolase. this enzyme is also called oxidized pva hydrolase. as of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with pdb accession codes and . in enzymology, a cyclamate sulfohydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cyclohexylsulfamate and ho, whereas its two products are cyclohexylamine and sulfate. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfur-nitrogen bonds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is cyclohexylsulfamate sulfohydrolase. other names in common use include cyclamate sulfamatase, cyclamate sulfamidase, and cyclohexylsulfamate sulfamidase. this enzyme participates in caprolactam degradation. in enzymology, a cyclohexane-1,3-dione hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cyclohexane-1,3-dione and ho, whereas its product is 5-oxohexanoate. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. the systematic name of this enzyme class is cyclohexane-1,3-dione acylhydrolase (decyclizing). this enzyme is also called 1,3-cyclohexanedione hydrolase. ljubomir mihajlović (; born 4 september 1943) is a former yugoslav and serbian footballer who played as a defender. mihajlović played for partizan between 1961 and 1970, winning three yugoslav first league titles (1961–62, 1962–63, and 1964–65). he was a member of the team that lost the 1966 european cup final to real madrid. in 1970, mihajlović moved abroad to france and joined lyon, spending there the next seven seasons. he made 233 appearances and scored one goal in the french top flight. at international level, mihajlović was capped six times for yugoslavia. he was a member of the team at uefa euro 1968, as yugoslavia lost in the final to italy. in enzymology, a haloacetate dehalogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are haloacetate and ho, whereas its two products are glycolate and halide. for examples, in the case of fluoroacetate in will produce glycolate and fluoride. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, one of the largest known enzyme families comprising approximately 1% of the genes in the human genome, exists as a homodimer, and acts specifically halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is haloacetate halidohydrolase. this enzyme is also called monohaloacetate dehalogenase and fluoroacetate dehalogenase. this enzyme participates in gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane degradation and 1,2-dichloroethane degradation. is unique because it catalyzes the cleavage of the remarkably stable carbon–fluorine bond of a fluorinated aliphatic compound. in the reaction of l-2-haloacid dehalogenase and fluoroacetate dehalogenase, the carboxylate group performs a nucleophilic attack on the alpha-carbon atom, moving the halogen atom. this action is common to haloalkane dehalogenase and 4-chlorobenzoyl-coa dehalogenase. dl-2-haloacid dehalogenase is unique in that a water molecule directly attacks the substrate, displacing the halogen atom. as fluoroacetate is poisonous and present in plants endemic to australia, africa, and central america, livestock are often killed by fluoroacetate poisoning. fluoroacetate is lethal to sheep and cattle at doses of 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg of body weight, and is a problem in the livestock industry. a fluoroacetate dehalogenase gene from the soil bacterium "moraxella" species strain b was transferred into the rumen bacterium "butyrivibrio fibrisolvens" and expressed in vitro at sufficiently high levels to detoxify fluoroacetate in the surrounding medium. scientists and farmers want to determine a way to get "b. fibrisolvens" into either the animals or plants. as of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the pdb accession code . in enzymology, a haloalkane dehalogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-haloalkane and ho, whereas its two products are primary alcohol and halide. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is 1-haloalkane halidohydrolase. other names in common use include 1-chlorohexane halidohydrolase, and 1-haloalkane dehalogenase. haloalkane dehalogenases are found in certain bacteria and belong the alpha-beta hydrolase fold superfamily of enzymes. they participate in several metabolic pathways: 1,2-dichloroethane degradation, 1-chloro-n-butane degradation, hexachlorocyclohexane degradation, 1,2-dibromoethane degradation, 2-chloroethyl-vinylether degradation, and 1,3-dichloropropene degradation. structurally, haloalkane dehalogenases belong to the alpha/beta-hydrolase superfamily. their active site is buried in a predominantly hydrophobic cavity at the interface of the alpha/beta-hydrolase core domain and the helical cap domain, and is connected to the bulk solvent by access tunnels. the active-site residues that are essential for catalysis are referred to as the catalytic pentad, and comprise a nucleophilic aspartate residue, a basic histidine residue, an aspartic or glutamic acid moiety that serves as a general acid and either two tryptophan residues or a tryptophan-asparagine pair that serve to stabilize the leaving halide ion. the haloalkane dehalogenase family currently includes 14 distinct enzymes with experimentally confirmed dehalogenation activity. an analysis of the sequences and structures of haloalkane dehalogenase and their homologues divided the family into three subfamilies, which differ mainly in the composition of their catalytic pentad and cap domain. as of late 2007, 25 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with pdb accession codes , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . the main reaction is an sn2 displacement of the halogen for a hydroxyl group derived from water. to begin, aspartate 124 is perfectly aligned with the substrate. it will drive off the halogen and form an ester functionality carbon-oxygen bond. following this displacement is a hydrolysis reaction by utilizing the imidazole ring of histidine 289 as the general base. this will deprotonate water, form a tetrahedral intermediate at the original ester, and create an imidazolium cation at histidine. the final step is beta-elimination. with a newly formed imidazolium cation ready to be an acid, aspartate 124 reverts to its original acidic state and breaks the ester linkage, as well as deprotonating histidine 289. the alcohol is eliminated and the halogen is now a free anion. a number of halogenated compounds are environmentally toxic industrial by-products, and it has been suggested that haloalkane dehalogenases may be useful catalysts for their biodegradation, with potential applications in bioremediation. in biocatalysis, there is a standing interest in these enzymes, particularly for the production of optically pure alcohols. therefore, the identification of dehalogenating enzymes with appropriate selectivity patterns is very important in terms of their industrial utility. in enzymology, a n-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are n-sulfo-d-glucosamine and ho, whereas its two products are d-glucosamine and sulfate. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfur-nitrogen bonds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is n-sulfo-d-glucosamine sulfohydrolase. other names in common use include sulfoglucosamine sulfamidase, heparin sulfamidase, 2-desoxy-d-glucoside-2-sulphamate sulphohydrolase (sulphamate, and sulphohydrolase). this enzyme participates in glycosaminoglycan degradation and glycan structures - degradation. this enzyme can also be found at sgsh in enzymology, an oxaloacetase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are oxaloacetate and ho, whereas its two products are oxalate and acetate. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. the systematic name of this enzyme class is oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase. this enzyme is also called oxalacetic hydrolase. in riemannian geometry, the cut locus of a point formula_1 in a manifold is roughly the set of all other points for which there are multiple minimizing geodesics connecting them from formula_1, but it may contain additional points where the minimizing geodesic is unique, under certain circumstances. the distance function from "p" is a smooth function except at the point "p" itself and the cut locus. fix a point formula_1 in a complete riemannian manifold formula_4, and consider the tangent space formula_5. it is a standard result that for sufficiently small formula_6 in formula_7, the curve defined by the riemannian exponential map, formula_8 for formula_9 belonging to the interval formula_10 is a minimizing geodesic, and is the unique minimizing geodesic connecting the two endpoints. here formula_11 denotes the exponential map from formula_1. the cut locus of formula_1 in the tangent space is defined to be the set of all vectors formula_6 in formula_5 such that formula_16 is a minimizing geodesic for formula_17 but fails to be minimizing for formula_18 for any formula_19. the cut locus of formula_1 in formula_21 is defined to be image of the cut locus of formula_1 in the tangent space under the exponential map at formula_1. thus, we may interpret the cut locus of formula_1 in formula_21 as the points in the manifold where the geodesics starting at formula_1 stop being minimizing. the least distance from "p" to the cut locus is the injectivity radius at "p". on the open ball of this radius, the exponential map at "p" is a diffeomorphism from the tangent space to the manifold, and this is the largest such radius. the global injectivity radius is defined to be the infimum of the injectivity radius at "p", over all points of the manifold. suppose formula_27 is in the cut locus of formula_1 in formula_21. a standard result is that either (1) there is more than one minimizing geodesic joining formula_1 to formula_27, or (2) formula_1 and formula_27 are conjugate along some geodesic which joins them. it is possible for both (1) and (2) to hold. on the standard round "n"-sphere, the cut locus of a point consists of the single point opposite of it (i.e., the antipodal point). on an infinitely long cylinder, the cut locus of a point consists of the line opposite the point. the significance of the cut locus is that the distance function from a point formula_1 is smooth, except on the cut locus of formula_1 and formula_1 itself. in particular, it makes sense to take the gradient and hessian of the distance function away from the cut locus and formula_1. this idea is used in the local laplacian comparison theorem and the local hessian comparison theorem. these are used in the proof of the local version of the toponogov theorem, and many other important theorems in riemannian geometry. one can similarly define the cut locus of a submanifold of the riemannian manifold, in terms of its normal exponential map. david cortés caballero (born 29 august 1979) is a spanish former professional footballer who played as a right back. he appeared in 273 la liga matches in exactly ten seasons, mainly with mallorca and getafe (four years apiece). he won one copa del rey with the former club. born in llerena, badajoz, cortés made his professional debut with local cf extremadura in the second division. he then moved to rcd mallorca in la liga (alongside teammate poli), where he was first-choice during three full seasons, helping the balearic islands team to the 2003 edition of the copa del rey. in the summer of 2006, cortés signed for madrid's getafe cf. after splitting duties with romanian cosmin contra in 2006–07, he was the undisputed starter in the following campaign as the side reached the quarter-finals in the uefa cup. in 2009–10, with contra already gone, cortés was greatly overshadowed by new signing miguel torres, but still contributed with 20 league matches as getafe qualified for the second time in the club's history to the europa league. in july 2010, at almost 31, he signed a one-year contract with hércules cf, returned to the top flight after a 13-year absence. cortés was the undisputed first-choice right-back during his only season with the valencians, who finished 19th and were immediately relegated. in mid-july 2011, he joined granada cf also from the top division on a two-year deal. from 2012 to 2014, cortés competed in the second level with hércules and real zaragoza. on 15 september 2014, at already 35, he moved abroad for the very first time, signing with danish 1st division side aarhus gymnastikforening for one year and retiring after helping them to win promotion. in enzymology, a phloretin hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are phloretin and ho, whereas its two products are phloretate and phloroglucinol. this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon–carbon bonds in ketonic substances. the systematic name of this enzyme class is 2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxydehydrochalcone 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzenehydrolase. this enzyme is also called lactase-phlorizin hydrolase. the fictional star trek universe includes a variety of sports, games and other pastimes. some of these fictional recreational activities are closely associated with one race, although they may have gained adherents from other backgrounds. others thrive on the interaction of different species. some of the games below were central to the plot of a single episode. others were recurring plot elements, spanning multiple television series of the "star trek" franchise. the holodeck is a facility that simulates reality; it can replicate a wide variety of environments. it is found on starships and starbases in all the series that are set in the 24th century, i.e. "", "" and "". the holodeck is sometimes used for research or training, but is frequently shown in use for various forms of entertainment. some programs depicted in the various "star trek" shows include a klingon calisthenics program, used heavily by lieutenant commander worf; a park-like setting where riker first encounters data in "encounter at farpoint"; various 'social' programs, such as a mud-bath and a pool hall; and jean-luc picard's "dixon hill" holonovels. other settings have sometimes been shown, such as the jupiter station diagnostic program which was used to maintain the emergency medical hologram on various starfleet vessels, the utopia planitia shipyards, several sherlock holmes programs created by data for his exploration of humanity, and various shakespeare programs enjoyed by jean-luc picard. in "voyager", an entire holographic village and its population were created. the "" program was originally designed for occasional enjoyment by the crew of "voyager", but the characters become sentient by the time of the follow-up episode "", and the captain orders that the holodecks be modified so that the program could remain running continuously. also in "voyager", seven of nine is continuously frustrated by captain janeway's superior skill at "velocity", a game played in a racquetball-type arena where opponents try to be the first to acquire the target of a flying discus and shoot it. the game is scored in points. each time a player is unable to acquire the disc and is hit by it the other player scores a point. the game is played to ten points. tom paris and harry kim are seen walking with hockey skates over their shoulders coming out of the holodeck. tom tells harry to "watch out for those nausicaans, they're tough". according to the history presented in "star trek", the earth game baseball suffered from a decline in popularity that culminated in the final world series, which was played in 2042 before a crowd of 300 and won by legendary player buck bokai. by the 24th century, the now-obscure game was appreciated by a relatively small number of aficionados including captain sisko, jake sisko, kasidy yates and astrophysicist dr. paul stubbs. the only organized baseball mentioned is a six-team league on the distant cestus iii. a vulcan starfleet crew formed a team under the leadership of their captain and challenged a team led by captain sisko in 2375. parrises squares is a vigorous athletic game, mentioned in several episodes of "star trek: the next generation" and "voyager". it is often implied that the game involves a high risk of serious personal injury; nevertheless, much to the concern of parents, the game was quite popular with teenagers during the 24th century. the game involves the use of a piece of equipment called an ion mallet and a ramp, and players often wear special padded uniforms. while healing a deep cut on william riker's face, dr. beverly crusher lectured him "to stop playing parrises squares as if you're 21", further advising him that "one day, you'll break your neck, and i won't be able to heal that as easily." when the doctor created a holographic family for himself in 2373, his 'daughter' belle was on her school's parrises squares team. this worried her 'parents', because parrises squares can be a dangerous game for someone her age. it later turned out their worries were justified, as she later 'died' of complications from a parrises squares injury. while in starfleet academy, harry kim played parrises squares, and was the academy champion three times. parrises squares is mainly mentioned as a game played by humans, but other species participate. m'kota r'cho was the first klingon to play the game, when he participated in the controversial championship finals of 2342. springball is a sport played by bajorans and is somewhat similar to the human sport of handball. a game is shown during the "" episode "." racquetball is a game played inside a room where the players use racquets to hit a small ball. in "", miles o'brien and julian bashir enjoy the sport. tennis is clearly known and played in the "star trek" universe. in the "" episode , guinan comes to dr. beverly crusher complaining of tennis elbow. later in the episode, the doctor gifts guinan with a new, state-of-the-art tennis racket, which she is sure will alleviate her elbow problems. as it turns out, guinan was lying about playing tennis, but nonetheless the game is clearly known by the both of them, and the racket is real. in "", the chief medical officer, dr. julian bashir, during his childhood, briefly considered becoming a professional tennis player ("ds9", episode 173, "melora"). it is revealed that he was good enough to play at professional level; however, he chose medicine as his profession. captain jonathan archer ("star trek: enterprise") enjoyed water polo and played when he was on earth. in the episode "catwalk", he is seen watching a water polo match on a portable viewing device while trying to fall asleep. he is also seen on several occasions bouncing a water polo ball off the wall in his quarters. in the "star trek: enterprise" episode "the forge", the bridge crew (except t'pol) is briefly seen playing basketball. doctor phlox has amazing shot accuracy. in the "star trek: enterprise" episode "minefield", captain archer mentions to lieutenant reed that england has made the world cup final (this being in 2152). o'brien and bashir are frequently seen playing darts at quark's bar in "ds9". harry kim and tom paris ("star trek: voyager") are volleyball players. they are never seen playing, but in the episode "warlord", kim adds to an existing holodeck program three holographic characters he says he practices with—a championship team of three beautiful women. paris remarks that now he knows why kim has been playing better. in the memorable "" episode "the gamesters of triskelion", captain kirk and some of his crew are forced to participate as gladiators in combat against other humanoids, for the entertainment of unseen masters who wager "quatloos" among themselves on the outcome in the arena. anbo-jitsu (or anbo-jyutsu) is a fictitious japanese sport shown in "". in it, two armored opponents facing each other wear a solid visor, rendering them blind, and fight with a large staff. one end of the staff contains a proximity sensor, alerting each contender to their opponent's location with an audio signal. the other end of the staff is rounded and padded and used for direct blows. the staff itself can be used for sweeping attacks. the opponents dress in armor and helmets to protect them from injury. ceremonial japanese chants are used to greet the opponent, initiate combat and yield if necessary. it is called "the ultimate evolution in the martial arts" in the context of the show. william riker and his father settled a long-standing grudge with this game in the episode "the icarus factor". tsunkatse is a form of martial arts, similar to kickboxing and some japanese sports. each opponent wears a round device on both the front and back of their harness which sends the wearer a shock when it is touched by an opponent's counterpart, worn on the feet and hands. each match is designated by a color code, red meaning to the death, blue meaning until one opponent is defeated. the sport is practiced by various species in the delta quadrant. in the "voyager" episode of the same name, seven of nine was kidnapped and forced to compete in the sport. captain jean-luc picard engages in fencing matches on at least two occasions. first, in the episode "", picard is in a match against an unnamed crew member. picard scores a point, and then the match is cut short because of a strange time loop (which serves as the plot for the main story). second, he matches against guinan in the episode "i, borg". guinan feigns injury and picard lowers his guard to help, at which time she strikes for an easy point. she does this to warn picard against feeling sorry for the injured borg that the crew has saved (which serves as the plot for the main story). hikaru sulu in the original series is known to be a fencer, as demonstrated in the episode "the naked time". in the 2009 movie, sulu mentions he has combat training, which he later tells kirk is "fencing." he carries an auto-foldout sword during the space jump to the mining probe over vulcan. chula is a game played by the wadi race that places real people into a game who face a series of challenges based on dice rolls and decisions made by an outside player. wagers are placed on the survival of the in-game players. it was the plot of the "ds9" episode "move along home". dabo ( ) is a ferengi game of skill and chance. the game relies on the spinning of a "dabo wheel" similar to a roulette wheel. during various betting hands (similar to poker) each player either "buys" or "sells" or "converts" their (money) in preparation for the next spin of the dabo wheel. about ten players can sit around the dabo wheel. when something good happens, everyone around the table shouts "dabo!" the game is most often seen played in quark's bar on "deep space nine". in the online role-playing game "star trek online", players can play a version of dabo with in-game currency. the wheel has three concentric rings that rotate independently; the players win based on how the symbols align after each spin. dabo girls are attractive women of various species who run the games in ferengi establishments. leeta, who was a dabo girl in quark's bar, maintained that dabo girls not only had to look appealing enough to lure customers to play, but also be able to quickly calculate odds and ensure a house victory in the long run, typically by enticing gamers to stay until they lose. the character therefore turns around the stereotype of the "dumb blonde" or "bimbo"; while dabo girls may be intentionally giving that impression to customers, they take advantage of those who view a dabo girl as no more than that. in the "ds9" episode "", jake sisko's girlfriend was quoted as saying "the first rule of dabo is watch the wheel, not the girl." the character leeta, played by chase masterson, made the role of dabo girl significant in "star trek" fandom. other dabo girls who appeared or were referred to in multiple episodes include jake sisko's date , played by jill sayre, and , played by cathy debuono. , played by symba smith, had a central role in the episode "profit and lace". in the non-canon "star trek" novel series "", one of quark's dabo girls hires hetik, an orion male, as the first ever dabo boy in the game's history. quark is initially dubious about the introduction of a dabo boy, but hetik soon becomes popular among female patrons. tongo is a card game played predominantly by the ferengi. the game centers around a roulette-type wheel with an elevated pot in the middle. on each turn the wheel is spun, and the player has the choice to "evade", "confront", "acquire", or "retreat". each choice has its purchase price, sell price, and its risk, all of which are interrelated. a global tongo championship is held each year on ferenginar. jadzia dax was fond of this game, playing long games into the night with quark and his ferengi staff. poker is a card game played on many "tng" episodes. the crew of the "enterprise" (ncc 1701-d) plays dealer's choice, usually five-card stud, which is one of the more rare variants of poker by 20th and 21st century standards. draws have also been picked as well as an unknown variation on 5 card stud, as well as 7 card stud. william riker, a highly skilled player, hosts regular games for the senior officers; in the series finale "", jean-luc picard joins in for the first time. fizzbin is a fictional card game created by james t. kirk in the "" episode "". while being held hostage on sigma iota ii with spock and leonard mccoy, he spontaneously invented a confusing card game to distract the henchmen guarding them. the rules were intentionally complex. each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven. simultaneously, the first and second card are turned up, except on tuesdays, when the first card alone is turned up. kirk dealt the henchman two like cards (jacks), which are a "half-fizzbin". when the henchman said he needs another jack, kirk warned that a third jack is a "shralk" and is grounds for disqualification. with a half-fizzbin, one wants a king and a deuce, except at night, when one wants a queen and a four. at this point, kirk dealt a third jack, but to keep the ruse going, he ignored the disqualification rule he had just made up. he explained that, had a king been dealt instead of a jack, the player would get another card, except when it is dark, in which case he'd have to give it back. the top hand is a "royal fizzbin", consisting of a king, a two, a jack, a six, two queens and two aces during the day, and a queen, a four, an ace, an eight, two kings, and two jacks at night; however, the odds against getting one are c. 1,022 to 1. kirk called the last card a "kronk", which is two like cards and either a king, queen, jack, ace, two, four, six, or eight (time of day applicable), and then purposely dealt a card such that it fell on the floor. as the henchman being taught reached down, spock nerve-pinched him while kirk and mccoy attacked the other guards, allowing the three to escape. in the "" episode "", quark mentioned the game as a way for him and odo to while away the time while traveling on a runabout; whether it had become a real game or if it had been a reference was not explained. playable versions of the game have been invented, and it featured in the episode "nantucket sleighride" of the animated series "". dom-jot was featured in the episode "". it appears to be a futuristic version of bumper pool. jean-luc picard (as a starfleet cadet) was stabbed in the heart by a nausicaan after a fight that ensued because his friend rigged a dom-jot table to thwart a cheating nausicaan. in the "ds9" episode "", jake's girlfriend mardah mentions to jake's father that jake is a hustler at the dom-jot table. "kadis-kot" is a board game played on a six-sided board with three sets of colored tiles: red, green, and orange. visually, the game appears to be a variant of reversi. it appears to be a game of logic and strategy for 2 players, but as many as 5 players have been shown playing together. the characters of naomi wildman and seven of nine played the game sometimes, after the events of the episode "". kal-toh (kal-toe) is a vulcan game of logic. according to tuvok, "kal-toh is to chess as chess is to tic-tac-toe". its goal, according to him, "[i]s not about striving for balance [but] about finding the seeds of order even in the midst of profound chaos." it first appeared on "star trek: voyager", often played by tuvok and a partner. the game itself involves a large number of small gray holographic rods called t'an, generated from a platform below. they are arranged in a specific manner, which eventually produces an icosidodecahedron. kal-toh can be played singly or against an opponent, each taking a turn to place a piece. "kotra" is a cardassian board game, seen played only once in the entire franchise, in the "" episode "empok nor". it is shown on the table in the "" episode "wrongs darker than death or night". "strategema" is a game central to the episode "" of "". "strategema" is a strategy game played on a holographic board. the object of "strategema" is to manipulate circular icons to gain control of your opponent's territory while defending your own. "strategema" is generally played on a specially-designed computer. both players sit at the computer-controlled "strategema" table, facing each other, with the board continuously rotating in the middle. the game is controlled with metal thimbles placed on the players' fingers. electronics in these thimbles then calculate the movement of the fingers and send the information to the computer. the duration of a "strategema" game depends on the competence of the players. generally, games last only a hundred moves at most. however, experienced master players can achieve games of well over a thousand moves. the longest game of "strategema" on record was between zakdorn master strategist sirma kolrami and lieutenant commander data, lasting over 30,000 moves. kolrami, realizing that data was playing to achieve a draw, eventually threw down his controls in disgust and resigned the game to the delight of the "enterprise-d" crewmembers who were watching. in the "" episode "", an undesignated virtual reality game was introduced to the crew of the "enterprise" in which players wore an optical headset and used mental commands to manipulate holographic funnels to catch virtual disks. the game was eventually revealed to be deliberately addictive, stimulating the pleasure centers of the players' brains, and was designed by aliens called the ktarians, as a stratagem to take control of the "enterprise". the effects and structure of the game appear to mirror video game addiction. the game of tri-dimensional chess (tri-d chess) can be seen in many "star trek" episodes and films, most notably played by spock against james t. kirk or leonard mccoy on the "". rules for the game were never explained within the series; in fact, the boards are sometimes not even aligned consistently from one shot to the next within a single episode. the tri-d chessboard set was made popular by its inclusion in "the star trek star fleet technical manual" by franz joseph, who invented starting positions for the playing pieces and short additional rules. with his approval, andrew bartmess first developed the standard rules in 1976. go can be seen on "", in the episode "cogenitor".

misión may refer to: leta hollingworth (25 may 1886 – 27 november 1939) was an american psychologist who conducted pioneering work in the early 20th century. she was a psychologist, educator, and feminist. hollingworth made significant contributions in psychology of women; clinical psychology; and educational psychology. she is best known for her work with exceptional children. on may 25, 1886, leta a. stetter was born in dawes county, nebraska near the town of chadron. she was the first of three children born to margaret elinor danley (1862–1890) and john george stetter (1856–1943). her childhood consisted of multiple hardships. at three years old, her mother died after giving birth to her third child, and her father deserted the family. leta and her sisters were then raised by their maternal grandparents — samuel thomas danley (1833–1898) and mary (1838–1904) — on their farm. after ten years of absence, leta's father remarried and forced the children to leave their grandparents and move to valentine, nebraska to live with him and their stepmother. leta described the experience of living there as a "fiery furnace" due, in part, to the alcoholism that plagued the household and the verbal and emotional abuse inflicted upon the children by their stepmother. school was her only refuge from this abusive home life. in her early education, leta described her education as a one-room school where she received excellent education which was individualized. leta attended valentine high school where she excelled in the classroom and discovered her talent and passion for writing. her overall intelligence, wit, and humor were made evident when she was hired at age fifteen to write weekly columns in the town newspaper, "the valentine democrat." she was able to make her final escape from home in 1902 when she graduated from valentine high school. when she was just 16 years old, she enrolled at the university of nebraska at lincoln where she blossomed academically. she originally studied literature and writing as she aspired to be a writer. however, her series of short stories were never published due to her being female. she was the literary editor of the "daily nebraskan", associate editor of "the sombrero," and assistant editor of "the senior book". during her time at the university of nebraska, she met and became engaged to harry hollingworth and the two would wed on december 31, 1908. harry hollingworth moved to new york to do graduate work at columbia university and completed his doctorate under james cattell. stetter stayed behind in nebraska to finish her undergraduate studies. she graduated with "phi beta kappa" honors in 1906 and received her bachelor of arts degree, along with a state teacher's certificate. this qualified her to teach english language and literature in any nebraska public high school. leta's professional career began as a teacher at two high schools in nebraska. the first of these was in dewitt, nebraska, harry hollingworth's hometown. she was the assistant principal of the high school for one year. her second teaching position was in the town of mccook. this position lasted for two years. she flourished at these jobs until she moved to new york where her fiancé was finishing up his doctorate under cattell. when he obtained an assistant professorship at barnard college, harry was able to afford to move leta to new york with him. they were married on december 31, 1908. leta hollingworth intended on teaching in new york, but soon discovered that the city had a policy stating that married women were not allowed to teach. she continued writing and busied herself with housework, yet this proved to be unrewarding and she found herself bored, frustrated, and began to develop depression. it was difficult to bear the fact that, despite her training, she was unable to contribute financially. she tried to go on to graduate school but was barred due to gender discrimination at the time. she began to question the role society expected of women and the inequality of women's opportunities. as a result, her career interests changed to education and sociology. in 1911 she was able to begin graduate school thanks to a research grant her husband received from coca-cola. in 1913 she received her master's degree in education at columbia and began working for the clearing house for mental defectives to administer binet intelligence tests in 1914. quickly she became the top scorer and new york city's first civil service psychologist while filling a post at bellevue hospital as chief of the psychological lab. hollingworth continued on her academic journey to study educational psychology under the supervision of edward l. thorndike. after receiving her m.ed., she began part-time work at the clearing house for mental defectives. it was her job to administer binet intelligence tests. she had to teach herself how to administer them due to a lack of experience. the civil service began to supervise the administration of the tests in 1914 and demanded that examiners take competitive exams to determine their capability. leta hollingworth scored well and filled the position as the first psychologist under civil service in new york. from there she went on to work at the bellevue hospital center. she was offered the position of chief at the psychological lab. she completed her doctoral work at columbia under edward l. thorndike while maintaining the position of consulting psychologist for the new york police department. in 1916 she received her ph.d. she was promptly offered a teaching position at columbia teacher's college. she remained there for the rest of her life. although hollingworth began teaching, she continued to devote at least one day out of the week to work at bellevue hospital. there, she helped establish the classification clinic for adolescents, as well as, the american association of clinical psychologist. she was involved in developing the ethical guidelines for clinical psychologist and in promoting universal standards for training in clinical psychology. along with her teaching duties she also trained clinical psychologists and was the principal of the school of exceptional children at bellevue. in the 1920s, hollingworth's interests shifted to the study of children, especially those with mental gifts. due to the efforts of lewis madison terman and his associates, intelligence testing and ability grouping had made their way in public schools as common practices by the 1930s. terman believed that such intelligence testing was crucial for identifying gifted individuals so that they would receive special attention, be helped to reach their full potential, and become strong members of society. he believed that democracy would benefit from differentiating between the educational experiences of these gifted individuals and the educational experiences of non-gifted individuals. although he believed strongly in these ideas, terman spent little time making concrete suggestions concerning how the school curriculum should be changed in order to meet the specific needs of gifted children. leta stetter hollingworth, however, was active in developing educational strategies concerning the development of gifted students. much of her work was conducted at the same time as terman's and although the two never met, they had great respect for each other. even though many of their views overlapped, the two did disagree on a major point. terman, again, believed that intelligence was an inheritable trait and focused only on defining and describing it. hollingworth did acknowledge the role of inheritance, but also believed that environmental and educational factors had an effect on intelligence's potential. as a result of this belief, she was more interested in how to properly nurture gifted children and their education. her work of administering binet intelligence tests at the clearing house primed her for work with the gifted, and naturally with the mentally defective as well. hollingworth also performed research on this other side of the intelligence spectrum as well. she learned, through working with mentally defective children, that many of them actually had normal intelligence. yet, these children were suffering from adjustment problems during adolescence. from this discovery she began to focus more on this population. she published several books on the topic: "the psychology of subnormal children" (1920, "special talents and defects" (1923) and "the psychology of the adolescent" (1928). the last of these became a leading textbook for the following two decades. it even replaced one written by g. stanley hall. several magazines noted the importance of the book and published excerpts from the chapter, "psychology weaning." the book gives several examples of this psychological process in which it is successfully completed in order to guide puzzled parents and aid them with their children. she describes it as similar to the "physical weaning from infantile methods of taking food, it may be attended by emotional outbursts or depressions, which are likely to come upon people whenever habits have to be broken." additional writing done on children with mental defects can be found in her books, "the problem of mental disorder" (1934) and in "psychology of special disability in spelling" (1918). she even wrote her own textbooks for the classes she taught at columbia. it was not until the 1920s that she began to earnestly work with gifted children. she is known for coining the term “gifted” even though she primarily began her work with the “mentally defective”, coming to believe that most people were merely of average intelligence and that those with mental illnesses merely suffered from problems pertaining to maladjustment. giftedness however comes from educational and environmental factors and, as thus so hollingworth believed that there were certain ways to nurture giftedness and educate gifted children. “gifted children”, written by hollingworth in 1926, describes the results of her study in an attempt to quantify the family backgrounds, psychological composition, and temperamental, social, and physical traits of gifted children. it also includes her attempt to create a curriculum to benefit the 50 seven- to nine-year-olds with iqs over 155. the last of her publications was “children above 180 iq” in 1942, which was actually completed by her husband after her death, observed how many children with such high iqs often had adjustment problems that seemed to arise from both a lack of intellectual stimulation and a general parental neglect that stemmed from the parents leaving their exceptionally bright children to essentially raise themselves. proper resources and educational opportunities did not exist for them. the zeitgeist of the time was that, "the bright can take care of themselves." hollingworth was able to devise a method of working with such individuals that stressed the importance of maintaining and keeping contact with them every day. they needed to be identified early in their lives as being gifted, as well as not kept isolated from other children and peers. their needs were not being met by the average school systems, which needed to be addressed. her first long-term study of the gifted began in 1922 in new york. hollingworth used a group of fifty children, aged between seven and nine years old. all of them had iqs over 155. they were studied over the course of three years. this experiment had two goals. the first was to gain a better understanding of as many aspects of these children as possible. this included information on their backgrounds, family life and circumstances, their psychological states and makeup, and also their physical, temperamental and social traits. the second goal was to gain insights as to what the best curriculum for these children would be. the results of this study are published in her book "gifted children" (1926). she continued to stay in contact with the children long after the completion of the study. during the eighteen years that followed she added information about the spouses and offspring of the original participants to the study and results. another experiment with gifted children took place in 1936. children with educational problems from the speyer school were used in the study. the population was similar to her first study, yet special attention was paid to the racial mixture of the group. it was modeled after typical new york public school demographics. the school became known as, "leta hollingworth's school for bright children," and received much public attention. the curriculum that was utilized was called the "evolution of common things". hollingworth had devised it. she discovered that the children wanted to explore the world around them. as a result, the curriculum consisted of learning about such things as food, clothing, shelter, transport, tools, time keeping and communication. the children made work units which were made up of learning materials each student had provided. this model of learning proved to be more beneficial to the gifted youth than simply introducing them to advanced subjects that they would later encounter in higher levels of learning. hollingworth's final study on gifted children was published after her death, by her husband in 1942. it was a longitudinal study of twelve children with iqs higher than 180. it began in 1916 after inspiration from her work with the binet tests. she witnessed a child score 187, which prompted her to seek out eleven other children with similar capabilities. the twenty three years following that initial inspiration were spent finding the children and attempting an in-depth study. fully aware that she would never live long enough to see all of the children into their adulthood, hollingworth meticulously attempted to build a framework upon which future research findings could be accomplished. she noted that individuals "who test above 180 iq (s-b)," (i.e., stanford-binet) "are characterized by a strong desire for personal privacy. they seldom volunteer information about themselves. they do not like to have attention being called to their families and homes." hollingworth was able to work past all of these concerns and conducted research that benefited science while maintaining participant privacy at the same time. she laid the foundations for future studies of gifted children with this work. the results of the study suggested that many exceptionally gifted children suffer adjustment problems due to two factors: inept treatment by adults and lack of intellectual challenge. adults would often ignore such children because they were thought to be self-sufficient. myths that exceptional children were clumsy, fragile and eccentric were dismissed by the findings as well. hollingworth had many accomplishments with working with gifted individuals. she was the first to write a comprehensive book on them, as well as teach a college course about gifted children. she was the first to study children with intelligence quotients (iq) above 180 with her 1916 longitudinal study. hollingworth continued to research proper methods to educate gifted children and advocated for multiple criteria in identifying the gifted. she published over 30 studies on the gifted and pioneered research and development in naturalistic settings. she also developed child-center therapy and trained carl rogers. hollingworth's publications were systematically presented in the psychology of subnormal children (1920) and in special talents and defects (1923) (poffenberger 1940). forty-five out of the seventy-five articles published by hollingworth were about the subject of the superior child (poffenberger 1940). even throughout her work with gifted children, hollingworth was conscientious about considering her results in a social context. she concludes her 1925 article "vocabulary as a symptom of intellect" by stating: "a summary of present knowledge, derived from experimentation, would therefore state that an individual's vocabulary is one of the most significant symptoms of his 'inherent power to learn how to accomplish or how to obtain what she wants.' this does not, of course, imply that from the quality of a person's vocabulary it is possible to predict his future success in life. 'success in life' depends upon strong determinants besides intelligence" (hollingworth 1925, pg. 158). it is noteworthy that she considered the implications of her findings in a perspective larger than a psychological article. while studying at colombia, leta stetter hollingworth became interested in the misconceptions about women that seemed to be a part of the zeitgeist. thorndike agreed to supervise her dissertation on functional periodicity, which focused on the idea that women are psychologically impaired during menstruation. thorndike greatly influenced the work of leta hollingworth as he was a supporter of the variability hypothesis. the variability hypothesis postulated that, because men exhibit a greater variation in both psychological and physical traits than women, women were destined for mediocrity while men both occupied the highest and lowest ends of the range on any given trait (shields 1982). hollingworth set out to prove that the variability hypothesis was incorrect and that the extremes were not based on a male genetic superiority, instead extremes were culturally-based. she believed that rather than innate differences, societal roles accounted for the sex differences in the numbers of institutionalized males and females at the clearing house for mental defectives. although the research of hollingworth conflicted with the direct interests of thorndike, she completed her doctorate dissertation beneath his supervision. her dissertation addressed the previously supported concept of women's mental incapacity during their monthly menstruations. for the study, she recorded the results of both women's and men's performances on a variety of cognitive, perceptual, and motor tasks daily for three months. no empirical evidence of a decreased performance with a phase of the menstrual cycle was found. upon receiving her ph.d. in 1916, leta stetter hollingworth accepted thorndike's offer of a position at the columbia teachers college. in order to test the hypothesis that women were significantly impaired during their menstrual cycle, she tested twenty-three females and two males (as controls) by giving them tasks, which involved perceptual and motor skills and mental abilities over a three-month period. she concluded that her data did, "not reveal a periodic mental or motor inefficiency in normal women." hollingworth was also interested in challenging the widely accepted belief that intelligence is widely inherited and that women were intellectually inferior to men. she believed that women do not reach positions of prominence due to the social roles that are assigned to them, not because they are intellectually inferior to men. an assertion held at the time was that there was greater variability among men while women were less variable. hollingworth referred to this variability hypothesis as "armchair dogma" which she characterized as the "literature of opinion". this differs, she maintained, from the "literature of fact" which has been carefully obtained through controlled scientific data because it is merely statements made by scientific men not based on experimental evidence. hollingworth states in her article, "variability as related to sex differences in achievement: a critique", "undoubtedly one of the most difficult and fundamental problems that today confront thinking women is how to secure for themselves the chance to vary from the mode of their sex, and at the same time to procreate, in a social order that has been built up on the assumption that there are little or no variations in tastes, interests, and abilities within the female sex. it is a problem that has never confronted me." in order to further her research on the "inherently more variable male hypothesis", dr. hollingworth performed another experiment in which she used infants because they have not yet been influenced by the environmental conditions that could account for variability differences in adults. these environmental conditions would provide the adult male with many more opportunities to be more variable than females. men had a wide range of professions from which to choose that would improve the talents they possessed. women, on the other hand, had been confined to only one profession, housekeeping, which did not provide them the chance to prove their intelligence. thus, their natural variability would be impaired. dr. hollingworth and helen montague collected data on 1,000 consecutively born males and 1,000 consecutively born females in the new york infirmary for women and children. they took ten anatomical measurements on each infant and found that on the whole the male infants were slightly larger than the females, but there were no differences in variability between the sexes. "for the first time a serious crack had appeared in the armor of the variability hypothesis". hollingworth believed that she was mostly responsible for thorndike's revised beliefs on the importance of nurture over nature. she also was responsible for terman modifying his nativistic position concerning gender differences in intelligence testing. this was because hollingworth showed that more men were classified as gifted due to social factors. leta hollingworth died on november 27, 1939, at the age of 53 of abdominal cancer at the columbia university medical center in manhattan, new york city. she is known for her dedication to her research participants. she stressed the importance of direct contact with her participants, even when her peers in the testing profession did not. she famously said, "the adding machine has tremendous advantages over the child as an object of intimate association. it has no parents; it does not lose its pocket-handkerchief; it does not kick or yell. all this we grant. those who really study children — those who would study any individuals— must be prepared to take pains". she is also known for her work in the first two decades of the twentieth century that contributed in a small way to changing the views toward women that led to women having the right to vote in a nation that had too long denied them that right. one of her students that became well known is carl rogers. in enzymology, a phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are

family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfur-sulfur bonds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is trithionate thiosulfohydrolase. this enzyme participates in sulfur metabolism. udp-sulfoquinovose synthase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are udp-glucose and sulfite, whereas its two products are udp-6-sulfoquinovose and ho. in a subsequent reaction catalyzed by sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol synthase, the sulfoquinovose portion of udp-sulfoquinovose is combined with diacyglycerol to produce the sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (sqdg). this enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-sulfur bonds. the systematic name of this enzyme class is udp-6-sulfo-6-deoxyglucose sulfohydrolase. other names in common use include sulfite:udp-glucose sulfotransferase, and udp-sulfoquinovose synthase. this enzyme participates in nucleotide sugars metabolism and glycerolipid metabolism. the 3-dimensional structure of the enzyme is known from protein data bank entries 1qrr (mulichak et al., 1999), 1i24, 1i2b and 1i2c. manuel tena lópez (born 3 february 1978) is a spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender. over 12 seasons, he appeared in 208 matches both major levels of spanish football combined and scored five goals, representing mainly getafe (six years, two in la liga). tena was born in alcalá de henares, community of madrid. he grew as a player in the ranks of real madrid, and first appeared officially for the first team in the last matchday of the 1998–99 campaign, playing ten minutes in a 3–1 home win against deportivo de la coruña. tena moved to real valladolid in 1999, playing a further 23 la liga matches during two seasons and being loaned to córdoba cf in between. in the summer of 2002 he joined getafe cf – also in madrid – in the second division and, instrumental while they achieved promotion to the top flight in 2004, he saw little action after, subbing in in the final minutes of games or playing through injuries and suspensions to teammates; he scored his first goal for the latter on 16 april 2006, in a 1–1 home draw against his first professional club. in july 2008, tena signed for rayo vallecano, freshly promoted to the second level, on a 2+1 deal. after only seven league appearances in his second season, he retired from football at the age of 32. yuri omeltchenko (born september 6, 1971) is a ukrainian orienteering competitor, winner of the 1995 world orienteering championships, short distance. he also obtained silver in the 2003 long distance world championships, and shared silver on sprint distance in 2004. he works in a school in southeast sweden currently. the school is called sunnadalskolan and he works as a gym teacher. enjoys riding bikes. cop hater (1956) is the first 87th precinct police procedural novel by ed mcbain. the murder of three detectives in quick succession in the 87th precinct leads detective steve carella on a search that takes him into the city's underworld and ultimately to a .45 automatic aimed straight at his head. written by evan hunter using the name ed mcbain, the book was inspired by a television show he greatly admired, "dragnet". mcbain chose to set his 87th precinct series in the fictional city of isola, based on new york city. in 1958 it was made into a film of the same name. in 1961, nbc developed an hour-long tv series "87th precinct". mcbain's work inspired many other writers and television producers to further develop the police procedural genre. most notably, in 1981 steven bochco produced the award-winning "hill street blues" for nbc. bochco set his gritty police drama in a precinct house in a fictional city much as mcbain did in "cop hater". apparently, evan hunter was unhappy with the similarity but he was reminded of his own borrowing of his predecessor's ideas. the city has surrendered to a heat wave in july 1956. when detective mike reardon is on the way to work on the nightshift, he is murdered from behind with a .45 caliber handgun. as steve carella and his colleagues from the 87th precinct are looking for their friend's killer, they have no idea that this is just the beginning of a series of police murders. david foster is the next victim, at the entrance of his apartment, where the killer has left behind a footprint at the crime scene. steve carella and hank bush question the family and wives of the deceased, as well as some suspects, but to no avail. a few nights later the unknown killer ambushes and murders det. hank bush. bush fought back however and shot and wounded the murderer. steve carella fears he will be the next target if he fails to stop him. when carella is leaving the precinct, he finds a reporter, savage, waiting for him. he asks carella his thoughts on who the killer might be, stating that everything is off the record. carella reveals that - due to the evidence collected from bush's murder - the police now knows certain attributes of the killer, i.e. weight, profession, and build. carella leaves telling savage that he is going on a date with his girlfriend, teddy. the next day we find out that savage has published the conversation between him and carella, including teddy's name and address. when carella finds this out he rushes to teddy's apartment, hoping the killer is not already there. when carella arrives at teddy's apartment he hears shouting and cursing coming from inside. with his .38 in hand, carella enters teddy's room and is immediately faced with a man aiming a .45 right at him. carella drops to the floor the instant he enters the room and shoots the man holding the .45 twice in the thigh. after making sure teddy is okay, carella interrogates the man, finding out that his name is paul mercer and that he was the murderer of all three cops. after further interrogation it is discovered that alice bush was behind the whole plot; she had convinced a previously unknown man named paul mercer to commit the murders. apparently she had promised him her affections once he had killed off her husband. in the end, both are sentenced to death for their crimes and det. carella marries his girlfriend, teddy franklin. in order of appearance the buenos aires football club (frequently abbreviated as "bafc") was an argentine association football club from buenos aires, considered the first football club not only in argentina but in south america. although bafc was founded to play association football, the club would then adopt the rules of rugby union. by 1867 there was a wide british community living in buenos aires. most of them had established there coming from the united kingdom as managers and workers of the british-owned railway lines that operated in argentina. british citizens founded social and sports clubs where they could practise their sports, such as bowls, cricket, football, golf, horse riding, rugby union and tennis amongst others. the "buenos aires football club" was founded on thursday 9 may 1867 in temple street, known today as viamonte, in the city of buenos aires. the founding members were railway workers who all came from northern england, specially brothers thomas and james hogg. the founding committee was formed by: thomas hogg, 24 years old, born in skelton, york, yorkshire; his brother james hogg, 26 years old, born in skelton, york, yorkshire; thomas jackson, 29 years old, born in cumberland; thomas barlow smith, 21 years old, born in stoney middleton, derbyshire; and walter heald, secretary, 29 years old, born in pendle, lancashire. likewise, the rules of the club were as follows: the first match had to take place on 25 may 1867 and was advertised in the english language daily newspaper "the standard", published in argentina: due to poor weather conditions, the game was cancelled, being postponed for june 20, when finally the first match in argentine football history was contested. the venue was the buenos aires cricket club ground. both teams were formed by members of the bacc. thomas hogg and walter heald were the captains of the teams, named "rojos" (reds) and "blancos" (whites) respectively. teams names referred to the color of the hats that both teams use to distinguish each other. rojoes defeated blancos by 4–0. on august 9, the buenos aires football club was officially established. it is recorded that in 1868 two matches were also played. in one of them, the rojos defeated whites by 2–1. in 1870 the club was dissolved due to the yellow fever epidemic that killed about 8% of the inhabitants of buenos aires. on april 25, 1873, the club was re-established under the same name and presided by thomas hogg as he had done with its predecessor. on june that year the bafc played its first match since its second foundation. the game was held in the buenos aires cricket club ground where "banks" and "town" played with a mix of football association and rugby union rules. despite following the football association rules (although slight modifications had been introduced), most of the members preferred to follow the rugby union rules, using the hands instead of their feet. that was because those members came from different cities of england, where football in each was played in a different way, often using the hands instead feet, or both. therefore the members of bafc played the game as they did in the towns of their birth, being a mix of football and rugby with no defined rules. as a consequence, on 13 may 1874 the club called its members to discuss the point "4" of its rules. on thursday, 14 may 1874, the members met to discuss which rules they should follow. after the debate they finally decided to adopt the laws of rugby union. that same day the first game under the rugby rules was played at david mathven's country house, in caballito, buenos aires. the teams were called "equipo de mr. trench" and "equipo de mr. hogg". this is considered the first rugby union match ever played in argentina. although some historians say the club was dissolved in 1875, the club continued its activities during that year, even adopting the football association rules again, because of the serious injuries caused during the matches previously contested (that had been played under the rugby union code). in 1876 the football association rules were kept but carrying the ball with hands was allowed. on may 7, 1876, the club returned to rugby union code. the last reported matches of the bafc were in 1881, when the team played friendly rugby matches against zingari cricket club and montevideo cricket club. due to there were at least two more clubs named "buenos aires football club", the origins of those institutions must be cleared to avoid confusions: josip pirmajer (14 february 1944 – 24 june 2018) was a slovenian footballer who played for yugoslavia and later became a manager. pirmajer was born in trbovlje in present-day slovenia. at the time of his birth, trbovlje was renamed trifail by the occupying nazi german forces. he moved with his family to serbia to srbobran in 1947. his football skills were spotted while he was in elementary school and he joined the youth-team of elan srbobran. when he was 16, with a special medical permission, he was allowed to start playing in the main team of elan srbobran. after a handful of games he attracted attention from bigger clubs, and shortly after he joined rfk novi sad. he debuted in the season 1960–61 in which novi sad made their historical promotion to the yugoslav first league after winning the 1960–61 yugoslav second league east. pirmajer played the following two and a half seasons with novi sad in the first league, until the winter-break of the 1963–64 season when he was brought by fk partizan. pirmajer moved to the capital and played with partizan a total of four and a half seasons during which he won one championship and was european vice-champion after losing the 1966 european cup final. during his spell in partizan he got the record of having played 252 consecutive competitive matches. in summer 1967 pirmajer returned to novi sad this time joining fk vojvodina where he played further four seasons in yugoslav top-flight. afterwards, he played two and half seasons abroad, in france, with nîmes olympique in league 1. during the winter-break of 1974–75, pirmajer returned to yugoslavia and, aged 30, he joined his former club rfk novi sad playing with them until summer 1977 in the yugoslav second league. pirmajer played for all youth levels of the yugoslav national team, including the olympic team, before debuting for yugoslav national team in 1964. he made four appearances for yugoslavia. after retiring, pirmajer became a coach and he worked at rfk novi sad, fk jedinstvo novi bečej, fk vojvodina, fk elan srbobran, fk beograd, fk sileks, fk big bul bačinci and fk bečej. pirmajer continued living in serbia where he became president of fk srbobran. in january 2009, the sports association of the municipality of srbobran gave pirmajer a special award as recognition of him as the most successful sportsman from srboobran and for his overall contribution for development of sport in the municipality. as well as being an excellent footballer, pirmajer played also handball with rk bačka, basketball with kk akademik, and table tennis. pirmajer died on 24 june 2018 in srbobran, serbia at the age of 74. imram bin mohamed (born 22 june 1944) was formerly the senior manager of flight operations and chief flight engineer in singapore airlines, having worked there for 42 years. he was also the former chairman of the association of muslim professionals, of which he was a founding member. he was a nominated member of parliament in the 8th parliament of singapore after which, he was given the public post of justice of the peace under the prime minister's office in singapore. he served in singapore's 2011 parliamentary elections malay community committee, was the chair of the 2015 parliamentary elections malay community committee, and is once again the chair of the 2017 presidential elections malay community sub-committee – a five-member panel tasked with assessing whether prospective presidential candidates belong to the malay community in singapore. imram mohamed is the second of seven siblings. he is married to jamaliah saharuddin and has four children. the galgo (or yangjang-go or yang-go) is a traditional korean drum. the drum has an hourglass-shaped wooden body and two drum heads of identical diameter, similar to the "janggu". compared to the "janggu", the "galgo" is fitted with a sound-adjusting funnel different from that of the "janggu". the "galgo" also uses thinner drum skins and is struck with two bamboo sticks called "chae" but mallet shaped "gungchae" is not used. the pitch of the drum can be controlled on both sides of the drum rather than only one pitch per-side for the janggu. this instrument is popular after the rule of king yeongjo in the joseon dynasties, and is always mentioned in the jinyeoneuigwe (historical records of the palace). however, today, the "galgo" has fallen out of use by traditional music performers. until 2015, if one wishes to see this instrument, normally it will be in the national center for korean traditional performing arts, but today it can also be seen as part of the traditional band of the republic of korea army when it performs in military tattoos, since a modern example has been recently manufactured in the traditional manner for the band. the chinese "jiegu", adopted from the central asian region of kucha during the tang dynasty, is the model from which the "galgo" is derived. the japanese "kakko", which is used in "gagaku" music, is also derived from the "jiegu". wild, wild planet () is a 1966 italian science fiction film directed by antonio margheriti and written by renato moretti and ivan reiner. tony russel stars as commander mike halstead. the film is the first of four "gamma one" science fiction films. the films were originally contracted by metro-goldwyn-mayer to be made for tv movies but were released theatrically instead in some countries. a mad scientist, dr. nurmi, is engaged in secret bio-engineering experiments. he starts kidnapping important world leaders for use in his eugenics program. mike halstead, commander of space station gamma one, goes to the rescue in outer space. this includes rescuing his girlfriend lt. connie, who has become nurmi's captive and subject for his ultimate experiment. "wild, wild planet" was released in italy in 1966 where it was distributed by titanus. it opened in new york on august 9, 1967. the barry bonds perjury case was a case of alleged perjury regarding use of anabolic steroids by former san francisco giants outfielder and all-time major league baseball career home run leader, barry bonds, and the related investigations surrounding these accusations. on april 13, 2011, bonds was convicted of one felony count of obstruction of justice for giving an incomplete answer to a question in grand jury testimony. a mistrial was declared on the remaining three counts of perjury, and those charges were dropped. the obstruction of justice conviction was upheld by an appellate panel in 2013, but a larger panel of the appellate court overturned the conviction in 2015. in 2003, barry bonds became embroiled in a scandal when greg anderson of the bay area laboratory co-operative (balco), bonds' trainer since 2000, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the united states district court for the northern district of california and charged with supplying anabolic steroids to athletes, including a number of baseball players. this led to speculation that bonds had used performance-enhancing drugs during a time when there was no mandatory testing in major league baseball. bonds declared his innocence, attributing his changed physique and increased power to a strict regimen of bodybuilding, diet and legitimate supplements. during grand jury testimony on december 4, 2003, bonds said that he used a clear substance and a cream that he received from his personal strength trainer, greg anderson, who told him they were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis. this testimony was released to the "san francisco chronicle" by troy ellerman, a defense lawyer for victor conte. (ellerman pleaded guilty to disclosing sealed grand jury testimony on february 14, 2007). later reports on bonds’ leaked grand-jury testimony contend that he admitted to unknowingly using "the clear," a form of the designer steroid thg and "the cream", a concoction designed to mask certain hormone ratios helping the user to beat drug tests. in august 2005, all four defendants in the balco steroid scandal trial, including anderson, struck deals with federal prosecutors that did not require them to reveal names of athletes who may have used banned drugs. cnn reported that federal investigators were looking into whether or not bonds committed perjury during his 2003 grand jury testimony relating to the balco steroids scandal when he testified that he believed a clear substance and a cream, given to him by personal trainer greg anderson, were flaxseed oil and arthritis balm. the united states attorney's office in san francisco brought evidence before another grand jury to determine if bonds should be indicted. before testifying to the original grand jury (in 2003), witnesses including bonds were told that they could not be charged with any crime other than perjury based on their testimony. on july 5, 2006, anderson was found in contempt of court by u.s. district judge william alsup for refusing to testify before the grand jury investigating perjury accusations against bonds. anderson was denied bail and immediately sent to the federal correctional institution in dublin, california. anderson's attorney, mark geragos, said he would file an appeal based on his assertion that the subpoena to testify violated anderson's plea bargain agreement in the balco case. later that month, the grand jury investigating the incident retired without issuing an indictment. anderson was immediately released and promptly subpoenaed to testify before a new grand jury that would take up the case. geragos stated that his client would continue to refuse to testify. days later, federal prosecutors obtained bonds’ medical files as part of their perjury investigation. bonds’ former girlfriend, kimberly bell, testified that bonds blamed an elbow injury on steroid use. according to the "san francisco chronicle", prosecutors had subpoenaed the documents nearly two months earlier, but bonds’ attorneys went to federal court to stop the government from obtaining them. on august 17, 2006, anderson again refused to testify before the grand jury investigating bonds. judge alsup ordered anderson to return to court august 28 for a contempt hearing. in requesting the hearing, prosecutors for the first time publicly acknowledged they were targeting bonds. anderson was held in contempt of court at the august 28 hearing and sent to federal prison for a second time. judge alsup said anderson had provided no legal justification for refusing to tell the grand jury on august 17 whether he had supplied steroids to bonds or other athletes, or even whether he knew bonds. geragos said he would file an appeal with the ninth u.s. circuit court of appeals. anderson was released from prison on october 5, after serving 37 days. judge alsup ordered his release because the federal appeals court hadn't affirmed the contempt order within the required 30 days after anderson was jailed. the 9th u.s. circuit court of appeal had sent the contempt order back to judge alsup, thus delaying any ruling. the main contention of anderson's appeal is that a secret, illegally recorded tape of him discussing bonds' steroid use was the basis for the grand jury questions he refused to answer. prosecutors, however, said the tape was legal and was made in a face-to-face meeting with anderson. although judge alsup dismissed anderson's tape claim and others, the 9th circuit court sent anderson's appeal back to the judge, saying alsup's ruling regarding the tape was not clear enough. in clarifying his order, alsup said he agreed with prosecutors that there was ample evidence beyond the tape to question anderson. prosecutors also said the questions they wanted answered were based on athletes' secret testimony in the bay area laboratory co-operative case and a search of anderson's house that turned up drug records, some with bonds' name on it. other than the tape dispute, the 9th circuit court had rejected the merits of anderson's appeal. in november, after the order was clarified, the 9th circuit court agreed to hear anderson's argument that his "entire grand jury process was tainted" because the government let the grand jury hear the tape. if the appeals court had agreed that the tape unfairly contributed to anderson's guilty plea, his conviction could have been thrown out, even though anderson had already completed his three-month sentence. in the disputed tape recording, first reported by the "san francisco chronicle", anderson reportedly told an unidentified person that bonds was using drugs which could not be detected. judge alsup, who had read a transcript of the tape, called it "as worthless a piece of evidence as i've ever seen", according to newspaper reports. on november 16, the 9th circuit court rejected anderson's appeal and ruled that he must return to prison for refusing to testify before the grand jury investigating bonds. the court ordered him to report to the federal correctional institution in dublin by november 20. the court agreed with judge alsup, ruling there was ample evidence beyond the tape to justify the grand jury's interest in questioning anderson about bonds. anderson's lawyers announced they would seek an appeal before the entire 9th circuit court. in january, 2007, u.s. attorney kevin v. ryan resigned and was replaced by scott schools. despite rumors the probe into bonds would be hampered, the associated press reported that by february 2007, the investigation had resumed. the ap quoted michael rains, a lawyer for bonds, as saying "there is absolutely no doubt that the u.s. attorney is still running a grand jury and still taking evidence that involves bonds. there is still an active effort to indict barry." the 9th circuit court rejected anderson's appeal in march, and geragos stated that he intended to appeal to the u.s. supreme court. after losing the appeal, geragos told espn "my client is never going to speak...he has got absolutely no intention of talking." on july 21, the new york daily news reported that the grand jury investigating bonds had been extended for six months. according to the "daily news", the "u.s. attorney's office in san francisco is confident it will have enough evidence to secure an indictment once [the grand jury] resumes in september." the "daily news" quoted an anonymous source as saying, "[prosecutors] seem to feel they have a strong case... if the case is 90% now, there's no reason not to go for 100%. they aren't just waiting around for greg anderson." a month later, bonds hired two attorneys, john burris of oakland and todd schneider of san francisco, to defend him against what he claimed were false public statements made against him, including claims that he took steroids. the move was chiefly aimed at boston red sox pitcher curt schilling, who made disparaging remarks about bonds in an hbo interview with sportscaster bob costas. bonds dismissed schilling's comments. on november 15, 2007, a federal grand jury returned an indictment against bonds. he was charged with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. "during the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing substances for bonds and other athletes," the indictment reads. the charges focus on bonds' responses to the grand jury in his 2003 testimony, specifically his denials when asked if he had used steroids, and whether anderson had administered steroids to him. the giants, major league baseball and its players' union all expressed sadness at the indictment, and even the white house weighed in, calling it a "sad day in baseball". hours after bonds was indicted, greg anderson was ordered released from prison. anderson's attorney, mark geragos, denied his client had testified before the grand jury and expressed outrage anderson had been imprisoned, telling the "new york daily news", "they kept greg in prison a year. i read the indictment and there is nothing that the government didn't have a year ago to indict bonds. my guy was nonessential." geragos also told the daily news that anderson would not testify at trial against bonds if he is called, adding "they would have to indict him [on civil contempt charges] first." bonds pleaded not guilty on december 7, 2007 and was freed on bond while awaiting trial. on january 23, 2008, bonds filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, asserting that the charges are vague and allege more than one offense in each count, which may violate his constitutional rights. in a response from the government on february 14, 2008, prosecutors stated that they would present evidence at trial showing that bonds tested positive for steroids in november 2000. bonds's trial was set for march 2, 2009, but delayed by appeals, after the judge excluded drugs tests and other evidence that could not be specifically tied to bonds without the testimony of greg anderson, who is alleged to have provided steroids to barry bonds when he was bonds personal trainer and linked to bay area laboratory co-operative (balco). law professor peter keane called the prosecutors' move a blunder, although an account by another published attorney disagreed. in june 2010, however, the 9th circuit u.s. court of appeals ruled that the evidence should be excluded. on august 7, 2010, it was reported that u.s. district judge susan illston of san francisco had rescheduled the trial for march 21, 2011. on friday, december 17, 2010, it was reported that attorneys for bonds, citing the appeals court ruling, filed papers asking the judge to forbid testimony of current and former baseball players linked to balco or the steroids scandal, and not to permit use of anderson's drug ledgers and calendars, as well as other documents from balco which the prosecution was seeking to use at the trial in spite of the appeals court ruling. on january 10, 2011, lawyers for bonds filed additional papers asking the judge not to permit use of anderson as a witness by the prosecution (since, given his previous unwillingness to testify, it was presumed he would again decline), nor to allow prosecutors to tell the jury about any refusal of anderson to testify, nor permit use of a reported tape of anderson talking to steve hoskins, previously a business manager of bonds. the judge had already excluded evidence which could not be connected to bonds because of anderson's refusal to testify about his alleged knowledge of bonds' alleged connection to the evidence. the same applies to several other pieces of evidence, which bonds' attorneys asked to be excluded in the january 10, 2011 filing. a hearing was set to be held on the exclusion of the testimony and the additional evidence on january 21, 2011. a report in the new york times had earlier suggested it was likely that bonds would not get prison time even if convicted, after pro cyclist tammy thomas received house arrest and probation for similar crimes in the balco scandal, in a case decided by the very same judge presiding over the bonds case. bonds' trial began on monday march 21, 2011. the case was prosecuted by assistant united states attorneys matthew parrella and jeffrey nedrow. the defense team consisted of 8 lawyers. allen ruby, a partner at skadden arps slate meagher & flom llp, served as the lead attorney and was assisted by sean coutain and patrick hammon. cris arguedas, of arguedas cassman & headley, served as second chair and was assisted by ted cassman and michael anderson. appellate lawyers dennis riordan and don horgan drafted pre-trial motions and attended the trial in order to brief appellate issues in real time. witnesses included jeff novitzky, forment i.r.s agent who conducted the balco money laundering investigation, which led to the discovery of illicit steroid sales; steve hoskins, bonds' former personal assistant; larry bowers, chemist from united states anti-doping agency specializing in detecting drugs in blood and urine samples; kimberly bell, bonds' former mistress; mike murphy, the giant's equipment manager; stan conte; former giants trainer; and marvin benard, jason giambi, and jeremy giambi, baseball players who acquired steroids from greg anderson. on 13 april 2011, a jury found bonds guilty on the felony charge of obstructing justice. u.s. district judge susan illston declared a mistrial on the three perjury charges, as the jury was unable to come to a unanimous verdict. case number is u.s. v. bonds, 07-00732, u.s. district court, northern district of california (san francisco). released documents of the case have been posted online. on december 15, 2011, bonds was sentenced to 30 days of house arrest, two years of probation and 250 hours of community service, for an obstruction of justice conviction stemming from a grand jury appearance in 2003. however, u.s. district judge susan illston then delayed the sentence pending his appeal. on february 13, 2013 a three judge panel of the u.s. court of appeals for the ninth circuit heard the appeal to overturn bonds's conviction for obstruction of justice. on september 13 of that year, the ninth circuit upheld bonds' conviction. judge mary m. schroeder, writing for the three judge panel, found that bonds' responses regarding his answers regarding receiving injections were evasive and obstructed justice. "when factually true statements are misleading or evasive, they can prevent the grand jury from obtaining truthful and responsive answers. they may therefore obstruct and impede the administration of justice." according to bonds' lawyers, he answered all questions truthfully and to the satisfaction of the prosecutor, and this is the first known obstruction guilty verdict based on truthful testimony under oath. an en banc panel of the ninth circuit court heard oral arguments on bonds's motion to reconsider the panel ruling on september 18, 2014. on april 22, 2015, the en banc panel of the ninth circuit court of appeals overturned bonds' conviction by a 10-1 vote. a short per curiam opinion characterized bonds' statement as "a rambling, non-responsive answer to a simple question" and found that there was "insufficient evidence" that the statement was material to the investigation, requiring reversal of the conviction. the court also held that the reversal implicated bonds' double jeopardy rights, meaning that he cannot be retried on the charge. several groups of judges added separate opinions stating additional rationales for the reversal. north korea has issued registration plates for all government and privately owned vehicles since 1947. the system is loosely based on that found in japan insofar as numerical prefixes are applied to denote a particular type or class of vehicle. privately owned vehicles display orange plates with black characters. the first two denote the place of registration in the hangul script. the remainder are the vehicle's actual registration number. early examples contained up to 4 digits. those issued since 1992 can have up to 5 digits split into two groups by a hyphen. example of a private plate issued in pyongyang before 1992 example of a current series (post-1992) private plate issued in south pyongan province state-owned vehicles follow the same format as the current private series, except that the first digit specifies the vehicle type, and the hyphen which separates the groups is optional. the prefix 4 has never been used – possibly because it is considered unlucky in korea and most of east asia. taxis and cars share the same prefix, except the former will only be followed by 3 digits, whilst the latter can have up to five. the following table explains which prefixes are allocated to which vehicles. example of a current series bus plate issued in pyongyang current series state-owned hgv plate issued in north hamgyong province pre-1992 motorcycle plate issued in north hamgyong province (note that these are black on yellow) ambassadorial and diplomatic vehicles are furnished with plates containing white characters on a blue background (two shades have been observed in use and are illustrated in

strking blonde" and "a dainty and winsome actress." she was trained in light opera. her married name was carrie reynolds ross. she appeared in a robson and crane production of "a comedy of errors" staged by the star theatre in 1885. among the physical locations of the play are the ports and docks of ephesus. the time frame runs from the very early morning through the twelve hours of the day, continuing until moonlight. reynolds was associated with the rogers brothers' companies for a number of seasons before she sang the prima donna role in "the school girl". it was presented by daly's theatre, 1221 broadway (manhattan) (30th street), before touring on the road. she was in the company of "the newlyweds and their baby", a comedy based on the cartoons of george mcmanus. it premiered at the majestic theatre, broadway (manhattan) on march 22, 1909. the plot dealt with mr. and mrs. newlywed and napoleon newlywed, the baby. reynolds depicted "dolly jolly", a woman who was coveted by the character played by fletcher norton. she entered the cast of "in hayti" in mid september 1909, singing the role of the actress. written by john j. mcnally, the theatrical was presented by the montauk theatre in brooklyn, new york. the troupe included a chorus of sixty girls and the comedians mcintyre and heath. reynolds performed in "king dodo" at the plaza music hall in july 1910. it was the second week of the aborn comic opera's engagement there. robert lett acted the title role with agnes finlay among the players. reynolds appeared in "the red rose" at the globe theatre (lunt-fontanne theatre) in june 1911. the venue featured an open roof and a system of cooling the air for comfort on hot summer nights. valeska suratt starred in the production. "the red rose" was her final new york appearance in a leading soubrette role. in november 1911 the cast for "jacinta", an opera comique by heinrich berté, was announced by john cort. reynolds was a principal in the company for the play which was to debut in providence, rhode island on november 27. the production first played in europe under a different title. it was adapted from a book by ignatz schnitzer and emerich von gatti. in december she retired from the opera comique and entered vaudeville in a single act. she acted with robert warwick at the west end theatre, in "the kiss waltz", in march 1912. "the blue envelope" was staged at the cort theatre in march 1916. the comedy was written by frank hatch and robert e. homans. walter jones, beth franklyn, reynolds, and belle theodore were some of the actors in the cast. as "the angel", reynolds was an adventuress whose actions were eventually frustrated. a critic observed that her background in light opera was somewhat of a hindrance in this role. specifically, she sang all her speeches and her very empty laugh sounded discomforting after a while. reynolds was married to fred griffen ross, a former actor and business manager for lillian russell and other performers. he died at the age of 84 at the brunswick home in amityville, new york. the couple had a daughter, ruby bramall. in september 1924, ross published a public notice in "the new york times" stating "...my wife, carrie reynolds ross, having left my room and board, i will no longer be responsible for debts she contracts". usplash is a software project in the ubuntu community. historically, scrolling text "verbose mode" has typically appeared on linux computers during boot. usplash replaces the scrolling-text screens with a graphical splash screen. it was designed to replace bootsplash, which did the same thing on the kernel space level. since usplash operates in user space, it can be updated without recompiling the kernel. usplash uses the linux framebuffer interface or, alternatively, direct vesa access to display the splash screen. in ubuntu 9.10 "karmic koala", usplash is only used in the preliminary stages of booting, after which xsplash takes over. in ubuntu 10.04 lts "lucid lynx", usplash has been fully replaced by plymouth, which uses direct rendering manager (drm) and kms driver. popeye the sailor is an american animated television series produced for king features syndicate tv that was released between 1960 and 1962 with 220 episodes produced. the episodes are grouped by the production studios of larry harmon pictures, rembrandt films, halas and batchelor, gerald ray studios, jack kinney productions, paramount cartoon studios, and italy-based animation company corona cinematografica. in the late 1950s, the original "popeye" theatrical shorts released by paramount studios from 1933 to 1957 began airing in many television markets and garnered huge ratings. king features syndicate, who owned the print rights to the "popeye" name, did not earn any money from the syndication of the paramount theatrical "popeye" films. in order to capitalize on popeye's television popularity, king features hastily commissioned a new series of made-for-tv animated "popeye" shorts. al brodax served as executive producer of the cartoons for king features' then-newly created television production and distribution division (known today as hearst entertainment, named after king features' parent company, the hearst corporation). jack mercer, mae questel and jackson beck returned for this series, which was produced by several different animation companies: gerald ray studios, jack kinney productions, rembrandt films/halas and batchelor, and larry harmon productions). famous studios, which produced the theatrical entries from 1942 to 1957, also returned, although by this point they had been renamed paramount cartoon studios. the series was produced using the limited animation technique, whose production values contrasted sharply to their "popeye" theatrical counterparts. the artwork was streamlined, simplified for television budgets, and the entries were completed at a breakneck pace. 220 made-for-television cartoons were produced in two years; in contrast, 231 theatrical cartoons were produced over 24 years. several minor changes were made for the characters. though world war ii had ended 15 years prior, popeye still retained his white navy uniform (except in "barbecue for two", in which he wears his original black navy garb). olive oyl's appearance was a hybrid of different incarnations; while her outfit reverted to the fleischer years of a red turtleneck, long black dress and huge shoes, her hair retained the mid/late 1940s and 1950s makeover initiated by famous studios (except in "barbecue for two", in which she is portrayed in her fleischer/early famous studios design, and "hits and missiles", in which she wears her later famous studios clothes of red shirt with collar, black dress, and black high-heel shoes). the biggest change was to bluto, whose name was changed to "brutus". at the time, king features believed that paramount owned the rights to the name "bluto". king features actually owned the name, as bluto had been originally created for the comic strip; however, due to a lack of thorough research, they failed to realize this and reinvented him as brutus to avoid supposed copyright infringement problems. realizing their mistake, king features began to promote brutus as an entirely new character. his demeanor was altered slightly, and his physical appearance was changed from being muscular to slightly obese. in addition, the sailor/navy uniform was replaced with an enormous blue shirt and brown pants. many entries lifted storylines directly from the comic strip, resulting in the inclusion of many characters not seen in the theatrical releases, including the sea hag, toar, rough house, and king blozo. like their theatrical counterparts, the made-for-television series was also a big ratings success. "popeye the sailor" aired in syndication in the united states into the 1990s. notably, the 1960s shorts would mark the final time that mae questel would voice olive oyl. a version which includes all 220 shorts, presented in 55 half-hour cartoons, can currently be seen for free on amazon video (as "classic popeye"). note: the stories of all episodes are written by charlie shows. note: in this production, the animation team was composed by: izzy ellis, sam kai, casey onaitis, ray young, bill higgins, barney posner, john garling, and bud partch. finally, backgrounds and layouts are made respectively by dave weidman and henry lee. in the late 1990s, the popeyes chicken & biscuits restaurant franchise released most of the 1960s cartoons on vhs in the "popeye cartoon video collection series" promotional line. each video in the series featured one promotional segment for popeyes showing video footage of its fried chicken, biscuits and other products followed by the 1960s "popeye" cartoons. after the cartoons, the second segment for popeyes and two bonus cartoons were also featured. in 2004, family home entertainment released four of the 1960s cartoons on the dvd release of "". the shorts included "spinach greetings" (a classic christmas episode), "popeye in the grand steeple chase", "valley of the goons", and "william won't tell". 85 of the 1960s "popeye" cartoons were released on dvd by koch vision in a three-disc dvd set entitled "popeye's 75th anniversary". warner archive collection planned to re-release the cartoons. the first volume was released on may 7, 2013 and included 72 cartoons. most of the cartoons to be released were produced by paramount cartoon studios, which are included in the first volume. as of 2019, no further volumes have been released. combining all the dvd releases and ignoring any overlap there is a total of 126 cartoons. william jennings gardner (january 23, 1884 – june 15, 1965) was an american football player, coach, and law-enforcement agent. while working as a prohibition agent in chicago, illinois, gardner served with eliot ness's "untouchables," a group of hand-picked federal agents who, from 1930 to 1932, sought to put an end to al capone's illegal empire. although gardner was only involved with the group for a short period of time, he would be prominently mentioned in ness's memoir of the investigation, "the untouchables", and inspire a recurring character in the 1959 television series based upon that book. gardner was born in north dakota. he was the son of a half-white, half-ojibwe indian father and an ojibwe mother. at an early age he and his brother, george, were taken from the turtle mountain indian reservation and sent to carlisle, pennsylvania to attend the carlisle indian industrial school. gardner, who stood just under six feet and 172 pounds at the time, played end, tackle, and fullback from 1904 to 1907, helping the little school defeat the powers of the time, which were yale, harvard, princeton and pennsylvania—known as the "big four". he also set a school record in track for the half mile, and also played basketball and baseball. gardner enrolled in dickinson school of law his senior year in 1907. "pop" warner described his 1907 team as "nearly perfect", but was upset that walter camp had left gardner off his all-american team. later in the 1930s, knute rockne named gardner to his all-time all-american team for "collier's". gardner then served as coach at dupont manual high school in louisville, kentucky from 1908 through 1911. gardner was normally described in newspapers of the day as reserved, but sometimes he had a "wolf - like nervousness". one newspaper referred to him as "the 'indian' athlete". gardner had a feared trickery as a football coach. the director of harvard's hemenway gymnasium found him to be one of the strongest americans in 1911, conferred after a series of measurements and physical tests. gardner even outscored renowned boxers john l. sullivan, jack johnson, and james j. jeffries. gardner then became director of athletics at otterbein university. he then played on an all-star team in atlanta and while in indiana, gardner recruited another star—jim thorpe. gardner was the head baseball coach at st. edward's university in austin, texas for the 1921 season. in july 1921, he was hired as the athletic director and head football coach at southwestern university in georgetown, texas. gardner finished law school in 1909 and was admitted to the louisville bar in 1910. gardner enlisted in the united states army as a private during world war i and became the only "indian" to receive a captain's commission at fort sheridan. as usual, gardner captained the camp custer football team. he fought in the trenches in france and his pension stated that he had been gassed. gardner married alene french, a socialite from niles, michigan, in 1919, and fathered one son, frank gardner, and two daughters: jacqueline gardner carson and alene gardner schnapf. the gardner family traveled all over the united states, from maryland to texas, primarily because of bill's highly mobile professional lifestyle, involved in both law and athletics. gardner joined the bureau of prohibition in 1926. two years later, he served alongside eliot ness on a squad of special agents sent to chicago with orders to combat the rampant bootlegging and lawlessness caused by prohibition. in late 1930, ness was chosen to lead a smaller, select unit of prohibition agents specifically ordered to investigate the bootlegging operations of the chicago outfit run by al capone. gardner was one of the first six agents ness selected for the group, which would later become known as "the untouchables" after ness and other agents refused large bribes from the capone outfit. less than two months after joining the squad, gardner absented himself from duty without official leave, then abruptly returned only to resign from the bureau three weeks later. although gardner did participate in the early stages of the untouchables' investigation, he took no part in the high-profile raids that would make ness's unit famous. gardner later rejoined the prohibition bureau but was dismissed around the time of prohibition's repeal. suffering from alcoholism in his later years, he died at the age of 81 from an illness at the prescott veterans hospital in 1965. he was buried at the prescott national cemetery in arizona, on june 17, 1965. his grave site number is 86, section number 12, row e. despite only working with the untouchables for five weeks, gardner was the real-life inspiration behind abel fernandez's character of agent william "bill" youngfellow, serving under robert stack's eliot ness in the original 1959–1963 "the untouchables" t.v. series. he also inspired michael horse's character, george steelman, native american agent under tom amandes's ness, in the revived series syndicated to local stations in 1993. sergio del valle jiménez (15 april 1927—15 november 2007) was a high-ranking cuban military and government official who served as army chief of staff during the 1962 missile crisis and headed various cabinet ministries during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. a physician by training, sergio del valle became a part of the movement against the government of fulgencio batista in the 1950s and, by 1957, was fighting in fidel castro's rebel army's second column under the leadership of camilo cienfuegos. after castro took power, del valle served in a number of top positions, most notably his key military post at the time of the missile crisis. in subsequent decades, he was interior minister (1968–79) and public health minister (1979–86). sergio del valle died in havana at the age of 80. middletown valley, also historically known as catoctin valley, is a valley in western frederick county in the state of maryland. it is bound to the west by south mountain, to the east by catoctin mountain, to the south by the potomac river and to the north by the convergence of south mountain and catoctin mountain, south of quirauk mountain. geographically, it can be considered an extension of the loudoun valley which lies below the potomac in virginia. the valley derives its name from middletown, the largest town in the valley. the use of the "catoctin valley" terminology was prevalent up through the american civil war but afterwards was abandoned due to confusion between it and the northern portion of the loudoun valley also referred to as catoctin valley. saintpaulia inconspicua was confirmed as a species of "saintpaulia", of which there are twenty known species, in 1958, and noted in botanical journals long before then. it is a rare african violet, found in the uluguru mountains in tanzania, east africa. it is classed as endangered by the iucn red list estreature is the action and change of status involved in converting a surety bond asset forfeiture into a civil action. the dr-7, also known as the santo domingo-samana highway or simply samana highway, is the newest addition to the dominican republic national highway system. the highway starts with the autopista las américas dr-3 (30 km east of santo domingo) and ends at the intersection cruce rincón de molinillos, samaná province. there are three different toll booths: the first one 300 metres after the southern start of the highway; the second one at km marker 16; and the third one was built in la reforma, right before samaná and the cruce rincón de molinillos intersection. the actual construction of the rural highway started in the 2005 by the secretary of public works and communication (secretaria de publicas y comunicación, seopc). in november 2007 the highway started final paving, since the landscape is difficult and the financing has been a major issue for the project and had stalled on several occasions thus delaying the project. it was finished by early february 2008. the new highway opened on june 1, 2009, and stretches 106 kilometers at a cost of us$150 million. it passes the city of monte plata, bayaguana and the los haitises national park and 12 bridges had to be built to cross difficult terrain and rivers. each lane is 3.65 metres wide and there's a hard shoulder for emergency stops. the total width of the 2 lanes and the hard shoulder on each side is 8 metres. the construction of this new rural highway was done through private financing which is to be paid with tolls from rd$350.00 up to rd$700.00 each way. even though this is much more expensive than most other highway tolls in the dominican republic, it is more economical compared to the old route because less time is spent and less gas needed. on top one can circumvent the very dangerous rural highway from the highway dr-1 near bonao via san francisco de macoris to samaná, which is one of the most deadly rural highways in the dominican republic. the new two lane toll based highway is expected to convert samaná to another thriving tourist hub and it makes the los haitises national park much more accessible to the general public. the highway reduced the time a trip from santo domingo to the samaná region took from 4 hours and 30 minutes to now less than 2 hours. the highway is expected to reduce the traffic along the dr-1 which was the only highway connecting santo domingo to samana. blue mountain academy (bma) is a seventh-day adventist christian boarding high school located in tilden township, pa. it is located at the foot of the blue mountain range. it is a part of

"staphylococcus aureus" encodes eight different psms, psmα 1-4, psmβ 1-2, psmγ (also known as δ-toxin in "s. aureus"), and psm-mec. while "staphylococcus epidermidis" encodes one psmα, psmβ 1-2, psmγ, and psm-mec. in addition "s. epidermidis" encodes two unique psms, psmδ and psmε. psm-mec is one of the most widely encoded psm among "staphylococcal" species. which may be in part due to psm-mec being encoded on the "mec"i mobile genetic element. as the psm classes are closely related there are many conserved aspects. however each psm class plays a different role, as such there are some distinctive features for each. generally psms are encoded on the core genome of "staphylococcal" species however some, such as psm-mec, are encoded on mobile genetic elements. psms are generally separated into one of two classes α-type psms and β-type psms, which are based upon characteristics of the two most well studied psms psmα and psmβ. psmα forms an amphipathic α-helix structure that composes the entire length of the peptide. these peptides are relatively short, being composed of only 20-25 amino acids. with regards to charge, α-type psms generally have a neutral charge, but may also be slightly positive. psmβ are similar to psmα in that they contain an amphipathic α-helix. however, the helix does not compose the entirety of the peptide, instead covering only the c-terminus of the peptide. psmβ are generally larger that psmα, being composed of 43-45 amino acids. unlike α-type psms, β-type psms usually possess a negative charge. psmγ (also known as δ-toxin) shares some homology with psmα-3 encoded by "s. aureus". psmδ is encoded downstream of the psmα gene in "s. epidermidis." in addition psmδ shares some homology with psmγ. little work has been done to determine the structure of psmε. however it is believed to play a role in both biofilm formation as well as inflammation. psm-mec is encoded on the "staphylococcal" chromosomal cassette methicillin resistance island (scc"mec)" which encodes genes associated with methicillin resistance in different "staphylococcal" species. little work has been done to determine the exact structure of psm-mec. psm regulation in "s. aureus" is primarily controlled by the "agr" system. the exact mechanism of regulation differs from other "agr" controlled toxins, which are controlled by the "agr" effector molecule rnaiii. psms, however, are controlled by direct binding of agra to the promoter region. psm-mec rna has been implicated in the regulation of the agr system and as a result can influence the expression of other psms. in addition to the agr system, sara as well as luxs have both been implicated in psm control, with mutations in either system showing decreased levels of psm production. in addition the mgra system has been shown to alter biofilm formation, via surpression of psms. the environment "s. aureus" is exposed to has been demonstrated to play a role in psm expression. in intracellular environments it has been shown that psm production is increased. in addition to being the subject of regulation, psms have been shown to regulate other toxins such as "s. aureus" alpha toxin. psms were first described as a pro-inflammatory molecule. this role has been repeatedly demonstrated to be true. psms are able to induce the production of a variety of cytokines as well as induce neutrophils to migrate to sites of infection. psmε in "s. epidermidis" is known to influence the production of il-8. psmα in "s. aureus" has been shown to influence il-17 levels during infection. in addition to their role in attracting neutrophils to sites of infection, psms can also influence the function of neutrophils. it ha been demonstrated that secreted psms are able to induce neutrophil extracellular trap release. the psms also have been shown to decrease the number of persister cells within a population of "s. aureus". mrsa production of psms is thought to be a possible cause of severe infections. psm production is higher in community-acquired mrsa (ca-mrsa) than in healthcare-associated mrsa (ha-mrsa), and consequently ca-mrsa associated osteomyelitis is more severe than ha-mrsa associated osteomyelitis. many psms have cytolytic activity and play a major role in the nonspecific lysing of host cells, including polymorphonuclear neutrophils (pmns). lysis is carried out by integration of psms into membranes, in a nonspecific fashion, which results in disruption of the membrane. different psms are able to lyse cells with different affinities. psmα, in "s. aureus", and psmδ, in "s. epidermidis", are the most potent cytolysins. while highly cytolytic psms, such as psmα and psmδ, are generally α-type psms the β-type psms tend to be less cytolytic. "s. aureus" is a non-motile bacteria, and must rely on alternative forms of spreading. phenol-soluble modulins have been implicated in assisting with colony spreading. psmα 1-4 have been shown to help "s. aureus" colonies spread on agar plates. however, δ-toxin, which is another α-class psm, does not play a role in colony spreading. while the α-type psms are regarded as major cytolysins, the β-type psms are though to play a role in biofilm formation. "s. epidermidis", which is a known opportunistic pathogen, has a high level of β-type psm expression. in addition "in vitro" measurement of psmβ expression in "s. epidermidis" has shown to be increased in biofilm as opposed to planktonic growth, further suggesting a link between psmβ and biofilm formation. altering the structure of psmβ has been demonstrated to disrupt their ability to influence biofilm formation. aluminium arak football club (), commonly known as aluminium arak, is an iranian football club based in arak, markazi, that competes in the azadegan league. the club was founded as pas arak football club in 2001. the club is part of aluminium arak sport and cultural club. the football team plays their home games at the imam khomeini stadium which has a seating capacity of 15,000. the club is owned and supported by the iralco (iranian aluminium company). the club was founded as pas arak football club in 2001. they played their first year in azadegan league and were relegated at the end of the season. in 2002 the club changed their name to sanaye arak football club. although they did not participate in 2002–03 iran 2nd division they were able to play next season in azadegan league. sanaye arak played six years in azadegan league. prior to the start of the 2007–08 season, sanaye arak moved from their old stadium to the new imam khomeini stadium, which the club shares today with shahrdari arak. in 2008 sanaye arak was bought by the iranian aluminium company (iralco). due to financial problems, sanaye arak was bought by the iranian aluminium company (iralco) in 2008. they changed the name to aluminium arak football club. they finished fourth in that season. only one year later aluminium arak terminated their sports activities due to financial problems. after aluminium arak terminated their sports activities, shensa took over the club. the club was known as shensa arak football club in 2009–10 azadegan league. they finished 11th in that season. only one year later again, hamyari arak took over shensa and named the club hamyari arak football club. they finished 11th in the 2010–11 azadegan league season. in 2011 municipality of arak took over the club and named it shahrdari arak football club. after relegated at the end of the 2012–13 azadegan league season, shahrdari arak finished 13th in 2013–14 iran 2nd division. although the iranian aluminium company (iralco) bought the club again in 2014, shahrdari arak were able to play in the 2015–16 league 3 season as an own club. in summer 2014 the iranian aluminium company (iralco) bought the club again. they finished first in 2014–15 league 2 and comes back to azadegan league. they finished ninth in the 2015–16 azadegan league season. aluminum impressed in the 2016–17 hazfi cup, as they defeated persian gulf pro league side paykan 1–0, before losing to five time persian gulf pro league champions sepahan. they finished the 2016–17 azadegan league season on place nine. aluminium arak plays their home games at the imam khomeini stadium which has a seating capacity of 15,000. the stadium was opened in 2007 and is owned by the iran physical education organization. it is also the home venue of local rival shahrdari arak. the table below chronicles the achievements of aluminium arak in various competitions since 2001.

september 17, 1956) was one of the first psychologists to bring psychology into the advertising world, as well as a pioneer in applied psychology. hollingworth was born on may 26, 1880 in de witt, nebraska. hollingworth graduated from high school at age 16, but lacking both the necessary two years of college preparatory work and the funds for university hollingworth applied for a teaching certificate instead of pursuing a university education. after teaching for two years hollingworth enrolled in preparatory school. as a result of these educational delays hollingworth was 23 when he finally enrolled as a freshman at the university of nebraska. although hollingworth wished to study philosophy or psychology at graduate school he received no offers for an assistantship and instead found himself as the principal of a high school. however, he received an offer of an assistantship from james mckeen cattell at columbia university within a few months of his taking on the position. in 1908 hollingworth’s fiancé, leta stetter hollingworth, who up until now had been living in nebraska, joined him in new york where the two were married. the following year he received his doctorate from columbia, having completed his dissertation on the accuracy of reaching. following his graduation hollingworth took an instructor’s position at barnard college, teaching psychology and logic. short on funds, hollingworth took extra jobs wherever he could, including proctoring exams and delivering a series of lectures to the new york men’s advertising league on the psychology of advertising. in 1911 hollingworth received a job offer that alleviated his financial concerns, and allowed his wife to enroll in graduate school. the coca-cola company, facing a lawsuit from the federal government under the pure food and drug act, approached hollingworth (after james mckeen cattell and several other psychologists turned them down) about investigating the psychological effects of caffeine on humans. aware of the stigma associated with applied work, as well as possible concerns about the scientific integrity of research funded by a corporation, hollingworth included several conditions in his contract with coca-cola. specifically, hollingworth stated that coca-cola could not use the results of his research in its advertisements, nor could hollingworth’s name or that of columbia university be used in these ads. additionally, hollingworth was free to publish the results of his research regardless of the outcome of the study. furthermore, to reduce any questions about the integrity of his research hollingworth designed his three caffeine studies to include blind and double-blind conditions. the scope and methodology employed in these studies had never before been seen applied to psychological research. these studies generated a huge amount of data which, because of hollingworth’s “catastrophobia,” had to be duplicated following each night’s analysis and housed in a separate location. after completing his studies hollingworth traveled to chattanooga to testify at the coca-cola trial. here he presented the results of his studies where he had found no deleterious effects on motor or mental performance. although hollingworth’s testimony was well received, and the case against coca-cola was ultimately dismissed, the dismissal was not a result of his testimony. following hollingworth’s testimony at the trial, and the favourable media coverage that accompanied it, he received an incredible number of requests for further applied work. during world war i hollingworth was asked by the surgeon general’s office to administer psychological services to shell-shocked soldiers who returned from the war. from his observations of these men hollingworth developed a theory of functional neurosis, which he published in 1920 in one of the first books on clinical psychology, "the psychology of functional neurosis". in 1927 hollingworth was elected president of the american psychological association. hollingworth was also a prolific writer, publishing what essentially amounted to a book a year between 1926 and 1935. although hollingworth wrote his autobiography in 1940 it was never published. in the late 1930s hollingway returned to applied research as a favor to a friend, investigating the reasons why people chew gum. hollingworth spent most of his career doing applied research in what, at that time, was termed business psychology, and would be better characterized today as industrial psychology. although he was a pioneer in the fields of industrial and applied psychology, hollingworth had no particular passion for this kind of research. rather, hollingworth’s career took the course it did because the financial rewards offered by applied research appealed to a man struggling to make a living (benjamin, 1996; benjamin, rogers & rosenbaum, 1991). he died on september 17, 1956 in montrose, new york. the cheesden valley is a valley in the heywood area of greater manchester, england. it runs on a north-south alignment between bury and rochdale in the metropolitan borough of rochdale. cheesden brook runs through the valley, joining with naden brook to eventually run into the river roch near heywood. during the industrial age the valley became a centre of cotton production dependent on running water. the valley is now a conservation area. there are signs of human activity in heywood dating from about 8000 bc. flints from the mesolithic period have been found in heywood, in the cheesden valley and knowl moor areas. all were discovered on high ground close to a water source, and all are quite small and suitable for use as arrowheads and similar objects. according to a report on an archaeological survey of the metropolitan borough of rochdale (which appeared in the greater manchester archaeological journal in 1985) it is likely that the flints were not left by early residents of heywood, but rather by bands of hunters. in later times, the people who farmed the inhospitable countryside made a living by weaving - mostly wool from their own sheep - using a handloom, and the early mills were designed to help them with the supply of yarn and the provision of ancillary services. as early as 1580, queen elizabeth i granted one john blackwall the right to mine coal in the cheesden valley. in addition, it is believed that during the 17th century small communities – ‘folds’ – could have had their own mines. of the many mills in lancashire the first mill in the valley was probably erected at kershaw bridge in 1780 by thomas allanson. it was a fustian mill and may have used arkwright water frames. john haworth's four-acre mill was high on the moors above cheesden and was powered by a waterwheel. haworth, who diverted the waters of a tributary stream to turn his wheel, later built a huge lodge to provide a consistent head of water for himself and other millowners - until then, they had been at the whim of the weather, laying off workers during dry spells and calling them in at all hours when the valley flooded. a john kay (not to be confused with the john kay who invented the flying shuttle) built cheesden valley's lumb mill in 1786, as a fulling mill, turning woollens into felted materials. cheesden brook provided power for at least 15 mills and employment for 2,000 people. communities grew up in what had once been a desolate region. these moorland mills held their own for more than half a century against their big-town rivals, many finding a niche for themselves, as mainline competition increased, by developing as cotton-waste spinners. this involved recycling the inner core of yarn cops, which had been stiffened in manufacture by the application of starch paste to avoid the need for separate wooden bobbins. during the cotton famine caused by the american civil war these waste mills actually experienced a boom. by the 1870s the mills were struggling to compete against the steam-powered economics of their massive rivals in the nearby towns and, before the turn of the century, they had all but vanished. many of the former mills, lodges and a solitary chimney, along with other industrial workings such as weirs and dykes, are still evident today. emergency flotation systems (efs) are emergency systems installed on larger commercial and military helicopters in order to prevent the airframe sinking in the event of a crash landing on water. the floats may be packed within spaces inside the airframe or as externally mounted packs on the helicopter skids. the floats are inflated using gas stored in pressurised cylinders carried on board the helicopter. by 1979, united states navy and marine corps boeing vertol ch-46 sea knight helicopters had been involved in 64 emergency landings in water. of the 64, 47 helicopters sunk after landing, killing 75. a study estimated 50% of those fatalities could have been prevented had the helicopters been equipped with adequate emergency flotation. because helicopters tend to have a high center of gravity due to the high-mounted engine and transmission, even if they are naturally buoyant in the water with hatches secured, they will tend to overturn in heavy sea conditions. in the united states, regulations for ditching aircraft are included in federal aviation regulations parts 27 () and 29 (), and specific guidance is provided in advisory circulars 27-1b and 29-2c. the most rapid inflation is provided by pressurised helium although some float systems use helium blended with other gases such as nitrogen to slow down the inflation rate. luke joins the navy is a 1916 american short comedy film starring harold lloyd. a print of the film survives in the film archive of the museum of modern art. fado alexandrino is a novel by portuguese author antónio lobo antunes. it was published in portuguese in 1983 and in english translation by gregory rabassa in 1990. the novel tells of the reunion of five veterans of portugal’s colonial war in mozambique who meet ten years later for a night of debauchery and share their stories of the intervening years. much of the novel consists of four characters telling their stories to a fifth, known as the captain, who remains silent for most of the novel. the four are most often referred to as the soldier, the lieutenant colonel, the communications officer, and the second lieutenant. each of the novel’s three parts is broken into twelve chapters. in each part, chapters 1, 5, and 9 are centered on the soldier; 2, 6, and 10 on the lieutenant colonel; 3, 7, and 11 on the communications officer; and 4, 8, and 12 on the second lieutenant. chapter 11 of part three breaks with the format established by the other chapters and will be covered in the plot synopsis. the novel combines different tenses and points of view in a stream-of-consciousness fashion. frequently, the character who forms the focus of a particular chapter will begin speaking to the captain in the present and in the first person, and then his story will switch to the third person as some experience in the past is narrated. though the “past” begins with the characters’ arrival back in portugal, earlier incidents, particularly those from the war, are frequently included. other characters may interject in the first person in the present, offering commentary on another's story. sometimes one character's story will transition into another character's story. this technique is especially evident in the final chapter, which is the most fragmented and quickly switches voices. sometimes fantasy elements are introduced as characters imagine possible scenarios. part one: before the revolution the five characters have gathered at a restaurant and are recounting their lives ten years after their return home from mozambique in 1970. the soldier, named abílio, got a job moving furniture for his uncle ilídio's company. ilídio had remarried to a woman named dona isaura who had a stepdaughter named odete. the soldier lived with them and was intrigued by odete. to gain money to take odete out, the soldier started accepting money for sex from a 60-year-old man, a painter. the lieutenant colonel, named artur, went to seek his wife at a cancer institute only to discover that she had died just before his return. his memories were haunted by an african man he shot. he joined a military regiment and was promoted to the rank of commander. as members of the military conspired to overthrow the government, the captain, named mendes, came to the lieutenant colonel to try to convince him to join the uprising, but he does not have his troops participate in the revolt. the communications officer, named celestino, returned to his godmother and a woman named esmeralda. he joined a marxist group working to overthrow the government. his contact olavo got him a job in a ministry so he could infiltrate the government and sway others to his cause. he was put in contact with a young attractive female operative code-named dália. he was then arrested and brutally tortured by the pide. the second lieutenant, named jorge, reunited with his wife inês, who came from an upper-class background. he recalls bargaining to buy a young girl in mozambique who has one miscarriage and one successful birth. he also recalls the difficult courtship with inês due to the difference in social class. just before the uprising, the second lieutenant had an affair with a woman named ilda, who got pregnant. he never sees her again after fleeing the country. in the present time, the five have had quite a bit to drink and make plans to move on to another venue. the 1974 carnation revolution provides the backdrop for the events of this part, recounted while the five characters are at a cabaret/brothel. the soldier witnessed the attack on the pide headquarters. he continues to court odete even as he provided sex for money to the old painter and others. he finally managed to woo odete and marry her, though odete was repulsed by what she saw as the soldier's lack of breeding. odete left him, and it turns out she was the same woman as dália, the resistance agent the communications officer was enamored with, a revelation hinted at when the soldier found communist propaganda among odete's things. the lieutenant colonel was captured and taken to captain mendes. as he remained cautious about supporting either the insurrection or the government, he was ejected from the regiment and captain mendes was promoted to colonel. he became involved with a woman named edite, known as the “cloud of perfume.” his first sexual experience with her is marred by impotence, but he later marries her. the communications officer languished in prison as the revolution occurred. when the prison was liberated he rejoined dália and the resistance cell. they plan a robbery, which goes awry when the car crashes. dália informed him of a new plot to dress up like ambassadors and kidnap the president; this plan also failed. the revolution brought panic to inês's family due to their upper class status, so the second lieutenant had to go to their home in carcavelos to comfort them. he discovered inês having sex with ilka, a friend of her mother's. the second lieutenant fled to são paulo, brazil with inês's family. in the present, the five plot to take prostitutes back to the second lieutenant's residence. part three: after the revolution the soldier and his uncle ilídio lived alone together after dona isaura died and odete departed to live with olavo from the organization. the soldier took over the moving company and had an affair with a concierge. the lieutenant colonel married edite and was promoted to general and director of a military academy. he started seeing a young salesgirl, lucília, but was blackmailed by her mother into setting her up in an apartment. he found lucília cheating on him and cut her off. he also found out that while he was occupied with lucília edite had been cheating on him. the second lieutenant divorced inês, who got custody of their daughter mariana. he returned from brazil to lisbon and took up with a midget. in the present time, the narratives reveal that the communications officer is the one who had an affair with edite. talk of killing him emerges among the drunken men. the soldier suddenly stabs the communications officer in the back with a knife. he defends himself and claims it was an accident, but it is implied that he killed the man over odete. the prostitutes begin complaining about the dead body and all have to decide what to do with the corpse. chapter 11 of part three breaks with the novel's structure. the chapter should advance the communication officer's story, but he is already dead at this point. instead, we get a first-person narrative from an unnamed female character. she recounts how her father was murdered when she was young. her mother remarried a man who raped her before she was sent to lisbon to work as a maid. after the husband of the house died, the woman brought home a boy that the two raised together. the boy grew up to be the communications officer, the lady of the house is his godmother, and the woman telling the story is esmeralda. the novel wraps up with the group breaking ranks. the police find the body of the communications officer, pick up the prostitutes for questioning, and are on the trail of the soldiers. the psychology of the military veteran plays a significant role in the novel, and the author carefully depicts the often difficult transition for soldiers returning to civilian life. in part one images and incidents from the war creep into the narrative with some regularity, suggesting that the soldiers have not yet put the war behind them. a sentence in the first chapter, recounting the soldier's return, vividly captures this theme: “and he thought i’m in lisbon and in mozambique, i can see the houses in the lower middle class neighborhood section and the trees in the jungle at the same time.” though superficially the characters are of different ranks, social classes, and political persuasions, they all tend to have similar overall experiences after the war as each one has nothing but difficulties with women and is unable to fully adapt to the new political landscape brought on by the revolution. the collective identity is emphasized with the intermingling of the characters’ voices and stories. in the final chapters the voices are so intermingled as to be practically indistinguishable. the novel seems to suggest that the characters have been fundamentally shaped by their common experience in the war and can never become a part of normal society again. although each is given a name, the characters are most often identified by the ranks they held during the war, further implying that their identities were fixed by the experience. the three parts of the novel are structured around the 1974 revolution. as the insurrection is spearheaded by military officers, each character has to make a crucial choice on whether to join, resist, or flee when the uprising occurs. though all of their lives change according to their choices, the consequences tend to flatten out and by the time of the reunion none of them seems to have gained much, suggesting that the revolution is not as significant to these military men as the war that preceded it. john brown was the reeve of richmond hill, ontario, canada from 1883 to 1884. he also server as a councillor on the richmond hill village council in 1874. brown opened a grocery store in richmond hill in 1872. in 1873, the village council appointed brown a license inspector. he was elected to the village council as a councillor in 1874, serving for one year. he was elected reeve of richmond hill in 1883, and again in 1884. he closed his grocery store in 1884. a huge volume of 250 pages of (510 by 360 by 110mm), the book brings together the work of 121 artists, 143 poets and 9 composers who painted, drew and wrote directly on the vellum. calligraphy by denis brown to each opening serves to unify the book, which was bound in elm by a.g. cains, eamonn martin and gene lambert of mills trust and theo dorgan of poetry ireland, who initiated the project in 1989. all the contributors worked directly onto the large vellum pages, handmade by joe katz, and their work was unified by a calligrapher, denis brown, aided by design consultant trevor scott s.d.i. the book is bound by anthony cains and housed in a box by eric pearce with a silver clasp by brian clarke. the book was a joint venture between clashganna mills trust ltd and poetry ireland ltd. business manager for the project was eamonn martin, and the editors were theo dorgan and gene lambert. clashganna mills trust is a charity that aims at dignity through independent living for people with disabilities. the trust aims to convert an old mills complex in county carlow in such a manner as to provide people with disabilities, and their carers, with a supportive, educational environment which will build creative and life skills, re-enabling those marginalised by society and equipping them with the skills necessary to confront the unacceptable in a spirit of dignity and independence. clashganna has undertaken a considerable building and renovation programme at its mills complex in county carlow. poetry ireland intends to build a national poetry centre with theatre and library facilities. both organisations, while receiving public funds, are committed to a large measure of self-financing. both recognised at an early stage the need for a bold, imaginative fundraising venture, which would provide a measure of much-needed capital. when eamonn martin and gene lambert of clashganna mills met theo dorgan of poetry ireland in march 1989, what all had in mind was a project that would raise substantial funds while at the same time being a venture worthwhile in itself. out of that meeting came the first tentative idea of the great book. clashganna had previously produced a book, the land of punt, with paintings by lambert and poems by paul durcan. this new book, however, would be very different. the original idea was to create a handmade book of poems, on vellum, written and illustrated by a single artist. within days, this had developed into a book with images by a single artist, in which the poems, perhaps 50 in all, would be written in their own hand by the contributing poets. a significant shift came with the proposal that the book should be a dialogue between the communities of poets and artists in ireland. fifty artists would contribute - their images meeting the work of 50 poets. mushrooming as it went, the book would eventually incorporate the direct contributions of 140 poets, 120 artists, composers, and a calligrapher. as the ground rules emerged, mutated and settled, the scope of the project became -to put it mildly -daunting. choosing the early contributors was deceptively easy: the big names, the exciting talents, almost seemed to declare themselves. but then, subtle shifts began to insinuate themselves: what about artists and poets who had fallen silent? what about artists and poets in exile, voluntary or involuntary? poets suggested painters to be asked and painters suggested poets. the editors were faced with a bewildering range of choices, and advice was sought from all quarters. two rules became inflexible - no pastiche, no illustration. outside those rules, it became a giddy rule of improvisation and inspiration, with chaos never more than one pace behind. driven back to the old manuscripts for technical guidance - and to the livres d"artiste of the early part of this century - the editors and contributors soon realised that the old canard, that there is no visual arts tradition in ireland, is without foundation. the beginnings of irish art and poetry find a triumphant expression in the early illuminated manuscripts, and the sense of recuperating an ancient tradition in a thoroughly modern idiom became one of the driving excitements of making the book. the technical problems were daunting enough in themselves. a pigment had to be found which would be flexible enough to accommodate a range of working practices, which swept from a delicate watercolour technique to something verging on impasto. vellum had to be found in sufficient quantities and when a source in ireland was identified, it promptly went into liquidation. fortunately, a management buyout by joe katz put vellum and parchment works celbridge back in operation. vellum these days is normally supplied for orchestral tympani heads -sheets of the nature required for the book had to be painstakingly and rigorously prepared by hand -and then artists had to face the nightmare of working, one chance only, on an unfamiliar surface, a living material which stretched and shrank as it was wet or dry, a subtly uneven surface containing minute amounts of natural oils. the poets, scratching away with dip-pens on a surface pitted with microscopic bumps and hollows, found themselves writing with unfamiliar or half-forgotten implements on a material light years away from bleached, flat paper. the whole skin was used in each case, resulting in a book half as big as the book of kells again. indeed, the sense of time on the project often induced near-vertigo, as the evolving community of makers rediscovered age-old techniques as well as an unexpected sense of a long-buried continuity. as news of the book began to filter out, artists and poets came forward with unparalleled generosity to make their contributions. it was often nerve-wracking - one poet is remembered for his nervous habit of getting up from his writing each time he completed a line and walking around until his agitation had subsided. artists would telephone at 2am in anguish at some technical problem. the logistics of assembling the book at times took on the genuine qualities of nightmare, but somehow the project went forward, no disasters, a few close calls and a mounting sense of excitement. meanwhile, parallel to the creative work, a great deal of financial ingenuity emerged. the original budget estimate was £25,000; this was to double, quadruple, double again as the full scope of the enterprise emerged. money and help came from sources including: • an overdraft at the aib; • a grant and an interest-free loan from early backers, dublin 1991 european city of culture; • a travel grant from the swedish embassy; • a large interest free loan and a donation of £10,000 from ulster bank which came when the book, almost complete, seemed permanently stalled. • total communications came forward with assistance in the field of marketing and sponsorship. • skc offered financial and taxation advice. there were times when vellum was being bought one sheet at a time, but somehow the project faltered ahead. each page demanded to be treated as a totality - image, poem and calligraphy working together. trevor scott s.d.i. joined the team as design consultant, followed by calligrapher denis brown: these would provide the flow of continuity throughout the book. working to the supervision of scott, brown provided the endlessly inventive scripts which lace through the book. pages shuttled back and forth across ireland, over to britain, germany and france, to an artist on expedition inside the arctic circle; pages were brought to poets, groups of poets came to make their contributions; the pages accumulated, but pages need to be bound into a book. anthony cains, a gifted bookmaker, is the director of conservation in trinity college dublin. a world authority in his craft, cains would be the bookmaker. master craftsman eric pearce would make the case for the book, and the display case too; brian clarke, jeweller, would provide the silver clasp for the box; the box itself, and the display case, in a nice touch, would be of wood from an elm planted by w.b. yeats at thoor ballylee, with insets of irish bog oak. the ramifications of the project continued to spread, often in mysterious ways. cains had been hoarding a sardinian goatskin -a beautiful naturally cured skin acquired 25 years before when he worked on the restoration of manuscripts in the florentine libraries after the great floods. this would be given to cover the book. crann announced the news that the thoor ballylee elms had the dutch disease - and made a suggestion that one might be used. coillte identified a tree where the heartwood was intact and with the assistance of ireland west tourism a tree was procured and dispatched by coillte to its kiln facilities at dundrum for drying. john montague - in paris to read from his work - persuaded samuel beckett to make his contribution. gandon productions, on commission from rté, came forward with a proposal for a documentary on the making of the book, to be directed by tony barry. visiting poets from the ussr, usa, romania, czechoslovakia, the caribbean and italy were invited to contribute, their participation serving to underline the essentially cosmopolitan nature of irish art and writing today. from britain, the poet laureate contributed two poems in tribute to the professor of poetry at oxford, seamus heaney. the great book of ireland was accepted by the dublin 1991 european city of culture committee as a central project, because it reflects the true wealth of the arts in ireland, which lies in the artists themselves. in recognition of all that he had done for the community of artists in ireland, the then taoiseach, charles j. haughey td, was invited to become patron of the great book of ireland. the artists, poets and composers whose work is contained in the great book of ireland contributed their work free of charge. rté, the national broadcasting service, commissioned a 54' film from gandon productions ltd., to ensure that the work would be properly documented. produced by niall mccarthy and directed by tony barry, pages for the great book of ireland, with a specially commissioned soundtrack by jim lockhart, was broadcast on 18 march 1990. amelia stein recorded the first marks made for the book, in a series of still photographs made when john montague and seamus heaney inscribed their poems on 11 june 1989. bill doyle later photographed a typical working session. in 2019, james lawlor completed a ph.d ‘ a cultural history of the great book of ireland’ at the school of english ucc. the thesis was the first major in-depth study of the great book of ireland, a cultural initiative whose existence is not sufficiently well known and whose significance is not sufficiently recognised within irish cultural studies.

petra buzková (born 7 december 1965) was a former minister of education, youth and sports in the czech cabinet. she belongs to the czech social democratic party. in 1992-2006 she was a member of the chamber of deputies. buzková obtained her doctor of laws degree from the charles university in 1989. after her political career she continued her in steps of her education and became a lawyer in akvks . petra buzková is living in prague (czech republic) with her husband josef kotrba who is a financial advisor. luke and the mermaids is a 1916 short comedy film featuring harold lloyd. the single locomotive designated jž 341 is a curiosity. it was originally designed for hauling freight and passenger-trains on the then new mountain part of the electrified rijeka mainline. when it was found out, that the axle pressure was high (20 t), further orders were abandoned. the maintenance and usage of this locomotive caused troubles in that there was only one unit of this type. the production and holding of spare parts was uneconomic. the final years of this locomotive were used in banking freight traffic over the very hilly and difficult rijeka-zagreb line between fužine and lokve. the end of useful life commenced in may 1986. photographs of this locomotive are very rare. richard marggraf turley (born 2 august 1970) is a british literary critic, poet and novelist. he specialises in romanticism and the poetry of john keats, surveillance studies and ecocriticism. he is professor of english literature at aberystwyth university, and is that institution's professor of engagement with the public imagination. marggraf turley was born in the forest of dean. he moved to wales at the age of seven, was educated at king henry viii school, abergavenny, and read english at leeds university. he is author of three poetry collections: "the fossil box" (2007), concerned with the urgency of place and origins; "whiteout" (2006), co-authored with damian walford davies; and "wan-hu's flying chair" (2009), which won the 2010 wales book of the year 'people's choice' prize. in 2007, he won first prize in the tenth-anniversary keats-shelley prize for poetry. his poem, 'elisions', was written on the competition theme of slavery. in 2010, together with professor reyer zwiggelaar and dr bashar rajoub of the computer science department at aberystwyth university, marggraf turley conducted a 'valentine's day experiment' using thermal imaging cameras to determine whether reading love poetry produced distinct thermal signatures on the faces of volunteers. in march 2012, new research on keats's ode 'to autumn', co-authored with dr jayne archer and professor howard thomas (aberystwyth university), was widely reported. archival discoveries suggested that the 'stubble-plains' of keats's ode 'to autumn' were located on st giles's hill, to the east of the city of winchester, with implications for a new political reading of the poem. the part of st giles's hill in question now lies under a multi-storey car park. the editor of the telegraph devoted 22 march 2012's editorial to an 'ode to a car park' in 2013, research by marggraf turley, archer and thomas on the importance of shakespeare's business dealings as a grain merchant for such plays as king lear and coriolanus was widely reported. their work also threw light on the significance of crop weeds such as darnel in king lear. marggraf turley has written a number of books on and the romantic poets, including "the politics of language in romantic literature" (2002), "keats's boyish imagination" (2004), "bright stars: john keats, barry cornwall and romantic literary culture" (2009), and – co-authored with archer and thomas – "food and the literary imagination" (2015). he is also author of a historical crime novel set in romantic london of 1810, "the cunning house" (2015). he writes a blog on topics related to romantic literature. in 2013, he was one of the three english-panel judges for the wales book of the year. peter zinner (july 24, 1919 – november 13, 2007) was an austrian-born american filmmaker who worked as a film editor, sound editor, and producer. following nearly fifteen years of uncredited work as an assistant sound editor, zinner received credits on more than fifty films from 1959 - 2006. his most influential films are likely "the godfather" and "the godfather part ii", both of which appear on a 2012 listing of the 75 best edited films of all time compiled by the motion picture editors guild. he was born in vienna, austria, and studied music there in the theresianum and at the max reinhardt seminar. following the occupation of austria by germany in 1938, zinner and his parents, who were jewish, emigrated. they went first to the philippines, and in 1940 to the united states. as a young man, zinner worked in los angeles as a taxi driver and occasionally as a pianist at screenings of silent films. in 1943 zinner became an apprentice film editor at the 20th century fox studios. in 1947 he became an assistant sound-effects editor at universal studios. much of his work as an assistant sound and music editor is uncredited; he worked with composers miklós rózsa, jacques ibert, andré previn, adolph deutsch, and bernard herrmann on films including "quo vadis" (1951), "singin' in the rain" (1952), "the band wagon" (1953), "gigi" (1958), and gene kelly's experimental "invitation to the dance" (1956). his first credit as a music editor was for "for the first time" (1959); his other credits for music include "x-15" (1961), the us version of "king kong vs. godzilla" (1962), and "lord jim" (1965). zinner had wanted to move into film editing, and following his music-editing work with producer-director richard brooks on "lord jim", brooks asked zinner to edit "the professionals" (1967) and "in cold blood" (1967). his work on "the professionals" was nominated for an american cinema editors eddie award. by 1970 zinner had become sufficiently established as an editor that, zinner was asked to edit the latter half of "the godfather"; william h. reynolds edited the first half. the film, which was directed by francis ford coppola, has been very successful with critics and at the box-office. one of its sequences has become an icon of film editing. as critic tony sloman described it in 2007, "as the newly born child of michael corleone is christened, the young don michael, heir to the murdered don vito corleone, wreaks his revenge on his enemies, eliminating them to the soundtrack of the priest's baby-blessing and the church's organ music. it is unquestionably one of the most dramatically satisfying and audience-shattering sequences in contemporary cinema, a magnificent example of the art of motion-picture editing, the craft of story-telling by montage. the editor of the sequence was peter zinner." director frank pierson said, "...that's the kind of thing that he was brilliant at, and it's become a classic sequence in movie history." zinner was nominated for the academy award for best film editing three times for his work on "the godfather" (1972), "the deer hunter" (directed by michael cimino-1978), and "an officer and a gentleman" {directed by taylor hackford-1982}. he won the oscar, a bafta, and an eddie for "the deer hunter". his work (with barry malkin and richard marks) on "the godfather part ii" (1974) earned a second bafta nomination. zinner was nominated four times for emmy awards, and won for the miniseries "war and remembrance" (1988) and for "citizen cohn" (1992). his peers in the american cinema editors honored him with six eddie nominations of which he won four. his many other film editing credits include blake edwards' "gunn", "foolin' around", "darling lili", "dirty pictures", "crazy joe", "mahogany", "a star is born" (with barbra streisand) and "somebody has to shoot the picture". in 1990 he played the role of an admiral in the film "the hunt for red october". zinner also produced four films. he directed "the salamander" (1981) with anthony quinn. zinner had married his wife christa, a german-born photographer and artist, in 1959. their daughter, katina zinner, is also a film editor as well as an artist. zinner died on november 13, 2007, aged 88, in santa monica, california, from non-hodgkin lymphoma. his funeral was held on january 5, 2008. georges coudray (2 june 1902, in évran, côtes d'armor – 18 january 1998 in saint malo) was a french politician, and a deputy to the french national assembly for the popular republican movement. he was the last mayor of paramé before its merger with the city of saint malo. he was also one of the pioneers of affordable housing after world war ii. blackfriars bridge in london, ontario, canada is a wrought iron bowstring arch through truss bridge, crossing the north thames river in 1875 and still carrying frequent pedestrian traffic from blackfriars street to ridout street north. at 216 feet (65.8 meters) it is the longest working span of that kind in north america. (it has been erroneously referred to as "blackfriars street bridge", though the naming of the bridge preceded the naming of blackfriars street.) according to bridge historian nathan holth, bowstring bridges are one of the rarest types of truss bridges, and most date in the 1870s. they fell out of favor due to the limited weight they could support. any bowstring truss bridge that survives today is a miracle. truss bridges are always intricate structures, but bowstring trusses are even more so. there [are] lattice, v-lacing, and members all over. this large amount of complexity is balanced by the simple, graceful appearance of the arched top chord. the result is a bridge with incomparable beauty and appeal. among the rarest and oldest bridges in canada is this breathtaking iron bowstring truss. keystone columns form the top chord. a sidewalk on the south side appears to be original. the bridge has undergone extensive repairs and modifications. most notably, the top chord has had plates of steel welded to the top of the column. numerous rods and bars have been welded onto many of the vertical and diagonal members as well. a couple of added bars of steel run lengthwise through the middle of the truss. these modifications have affected the historic integrity of the bridge, but have no doubt helped keep it standing over 130 years. the original lattice guardrails remain on the sidewalk, albeit with a metal pole welded above them. the deck surface (see illus. gallery below) is presently of renewable planking: a double file of approximately one-thousand, five hundred eight-foot two-by-fours each, on edge, upon a framework of nine longitudinally laid stringers of one-foot iron i-beams, topped with bolted-on wooden cladding, whose ends rest on the two abutments. attached beneath these are fifteen transverse floor-beams, from which vertical lattice pillars, under tension, translate the live thrusts of traffic to the bowed upper chord, which transfers this back as tension along the bottom-chord "string" of the bow. this bottom chord consists of two sets of four 10 cm x 3 cm wrought-iron eyebars, running along, outside, both sides of the deck. although originally two-lane, due to the weight and frequency of modern traffic, the blackfriars is at present two-way but single-lane. because of damage to the wooden deck surface and to the iron structure, it has been closed to automobile traffic since 2013. the blackfriars bridge was manufactured by the wrought iron bridge company (wibc) of canton, ohio, although erected by local london contractor isaac crouse. there is evidence for its being prototypical for a revised design by wibc, incorporating a double-panel web. the bridge is the successor to a series of fixed, wooden structures at the site since 1831, which were damaged mainly by spring freshets of the river. it has been designated a historic structure under part iv of the "ontario heritage act". it is the northernmost and oldest of a company of eight bridges of different ages, constructions and uses, surrounding the confluence of the north thames and thames rivers, which fixes the historic center of london. the bridge is sited at the east end of a short blackfriars street, which turns sharply south and up a slight grade, as the downtown ridout street, upon crossing it. to the bridge's west is the lower ground of the previous town of petersville, protected by an extensive dike embankment, due to a history of flooding; to its east a terrace rises above the north thames river to central london. the river there is bordered on both sides by extensive bicycle and walking paths, and the bridge is well framed by a variety of second-growth trees. much of the beauty and appeal of the bridge is its appearance of floating (from many profile views up and downstream on both banks of the gently winding river). that is owed to its strung-bow shape and its light placement at its very tips upon modest granite abutments — a feature rare among more modern tied-arch bridges. these abutments bear the passive vertical load of the open structure itself. however, the varying 'live' thrust forces of traffic downward on its deck are translated by the bowed chord above into horizontal tensions along the longitudinal iron eyebars of the 'string' or bottom chord running parallel to the deck. the blackfriars bridge has figured in various artistic works, visual and literary, including a series of stained glass windows by ted goodden. nathan holth praises the city of london and the province of ontario for maintaining its old iron bridges. regarding the nearby, larger pony-truss kensington bridge he praises the city for "keeping the thames river looking wild and natural," even near its center, with the look of "a rural bridge in an urban environment, which further enhances the beauty of the bridge", a remark that would apply as well to the blackfriars. with recent improvement of the rivers, wild nature seems to confirm the point. (see, below, resident great blue heron in winter.) the bridge was closed to all traffic on 13 may 2013, for the purpose of extensive infrastructural assessment and repair, with plans to re-open it by august 2013. due to the extent and cost (approximately $3m) of repairs required, the closure was extended indefinitely, and subsequently re-opened to pedestrian traffic in december 2013. access has been restricted to a pedestrian pathway by using temporary fencing, pending an environmental assessment to determine whether it will be feasible to re-open the bridge to vehicular traffic. , the bridge has been listed as under repair, with plans to reopen it to east bound only traffic, cyclists and pedestrians, to officially reopen in 2018-2019. in 2017, a $7.9m plan was started, for a rebuild of the bridge. on november 27, 2017, the bridge was cut in half, and lifted to the banks of the thames, for moving to an off site location for refurbishment. after one year of rehabilitation, the blackfriars bridge was reopened to pedestrians, motorists and cyclists immediately following a grand opening celebration on saturday, december 1, 2018. http://globalnews.ca/news/3511854/londoners-get-preview-of-repair-plans-for-historic-blackfriars-bridge/ twilight is a 2008 american romantic fantasy film based on stephenie meyer's 2005 novel of the same name. directed by catherine hardwicke, the film stars kristen stewart and robert pattinson. it is the first film in "the twilight saga" film series. this film focuses on the development of the relationship between bella swan (a teenage girl) and edward cullen (a vampire), and the subsequent efforts of edward and his family to keep bella safe from a coven of evil vampires. the project was in development for approximately three years at paramount pictures, during which time a screen adaptation that differed significantly from the novel was written. summit entertainment acquired the rights to the novel after three years of the project's stagnant development. melissa rosenberg wrote a new adaptation of the novel shortly before the 2007–2008 writers guild of america strike and sought to be faithful to the novel's storyline. principal photography took 44 days and was completed on may 2, 2008; the film was primarily shot in oregon. "twilight" was theatrically released on november 21, 2008; it grossed over us$393 million worldwide. it was released on dvd march 21, 2009 and became the most purchased dvd of the year. the soundtrack was released on november 4, 2008. following the film's success, "new moon" and "eclipse", the next two novels in the series, were produced as films the following year. bella swan, a seventeen-year-old misfit, leaves phoenix, arizona to move to forks, a small town located on washington state's olympic peninsula. she will live with her father, charlie, the town's police chief. her mother, renée, is remarried to phil, a minor league baseball player whose career often keeps the couple on the road. bella becomes re-acquainted with jacob black, a native american teen who lives with his father, billy, on the quileute indian reservation near forks. bella makes friends at her new high school, but finds the mysterious and aloof cullen siblings particularly intriguing. bella is seated next to edward cullen in biology class on her first day, but he seems repulsed by her. after a week's absence from school, edward returns and socializes normally with bella. a few days later, bella is nearly struck by a skidding van in the school parking lot. edward instantaneously covers a distance of over thirty feet, putting himself between bella and the van, stopping it with only his hand. he subsequently refuses to explain his actions to bella, and warns her against befriending him. jacob tells bella about a long-standing animosity between the cullens and the quileutes, and says the cullens are not allowed on the reservation. after much research, bella concludes that edward has mysterious powers resembling a vampire. he eventually confirms this, but says he and the other cullens only consume animal blood. the pair fall in love, and edward introduces bella to his vampire family. carlisle cullen, the family patriarch, is a doctor at the forks hospital. esme is carlisle's wife and the family matriarch. alice, jasper, emmett, and rosalie are their informally-adopted children. the family's reaction to bella is mixed, concerned the family's secret could be exposed. edward and bella's relationship is jeopardized when three nomadic vampires—james, victoria, and laurent—arrive in the forks area. they are responsible for a series of deaths being investigated as animal attacks. james, a tracker vampire with incredible hunting instincts, is incited by bella's scent and becomes obsessed with hunting her for sport. edward and the other cullens protect bella, but james tracks her to phoenix, arizona, where she is hiding with jasper and alice. james lures bella into a trap at her old ballet studio. he attacks bella and infects her with vampire venom. edward arrives and after a ferocious battle, he subdues james just as other cullens arrive. alice, emmett, and jasper kill james, decapitating and burning him, as edward removes the venom from bella's wrist, preventing her becoming a vampire. in the aftermath, bella has suffered a broken leg and is hospitalized. upon returning to forks, edward accompanies bella to the high school prom where he refuses her request to transform her into a vampire. they are unaware that james' mate, victoria, is secretly watching them, plotting revenge for her lover's death. stephenie meyer's paranormal romance novel "twilight" was originally optioned by paramount pictures' mtv films in april 2004, but the screenplay that was subsequently developed was substantially different from its source material. when summit entertainment reinvented itself as a full-service studio in april 2007, it began development of a film adaptation anew, having picked up the rights from paramount (who coincidentally had made an unrelated film with the same title in 1998) in a turnaround. the company perceived the film as an opportunity to launch a franchise based on the success of meyer's book and its sequels. catherine hardwicke was hired to direct the film and melissa rosenberg was hired to write the script in mid-2007. rosenberg developed an outline by the end of august, and collaborated with hardwicke on writing the screenplay during the following month. rosenberg said hardwicke "was a great sounding board and had all sorts of brilliant ideas... i'd finish off scenes and send them to her, and get back her notes." due to the impending writers guild of america strike, rosenberg worked full-time to finish the screenplay before october 31. in adapting the novel, she "had to condense a great deal." some characters from the novel were not featured in the screenplay, whereas some characters were combined into others. "[o]ur intent all along was to stay true to the book", rosenberg explained, "and it has to do less with adapting it word for word and more with making sure the characters' arcs and emotional journeys are the same." hardwicke suggested the use of voice over to convey bella's internal dialogue — since the novel is told from her point of view — and she sketched some of the storyboards during pre-production. the filmmakers behind "twilight" worked to create a film that was as faithful to the novel as they thought possible when converting the story to another medium, with producer greg mooradian saying, "it's very important to distinguish that we're making a separate piece of art that obviously is going to remain very, very faithful to the book... but at the same time, we have a separate responsibility to make the best movie you can make." to ensure a faithful adaptation, meyer was kept very involved in the production process, having been invited to visit the set during filming and even asked to give notes on the script and on a rough cut of the film. of this process, she said, "it was a really pleasant exchange [between me and the filmmakers] from the beginning, which i think is not very typical. they were really interested in my ideas", and, "...they kept me in the loop and with the script, they let me see it and said, 'what are your thoughts?' ... they let me have input on it and i think they took 90 percent of what i said and just incorporated it right in to the script." meyer fought for one line in particular, one of the most well known from the book about "the lion and the lamb", to be kept verbatim in the film: "i actually think the way melissa [rosenberg] wrote it sounded better for the movie [...] but the problem is that line is actually tattooed on peoples' bodies [...] but i said, 'you know, if you take that one and change it, that's a potential backlash situation. meyer was even invited to create a written list of things that could not be changed for the film, such as giving the vampires fangs or killing characters who do not die in the book, that the studio agreed to follow. the consensus among critics is that the filmmakers succeeded in making a film that is very faithful to its source material, with one reviewer stating that, with a few exceptions, ""twilight" the movie is unerringly faithful to the source without being hamstrung by it." however, as is most often the case with film adaptations, differences do exist between the film and source material. certain scenes from the book were cut from the film, such as a biology room scene where bella's class does blood typing. hardwicke explains, "well [the book is] almost 500 pages—you do have to do the sweetened condensed milk version of that... we already have two scenes in biology: the first time they're in there and then the second time when they connect. for a film, when you condense, you don't want to keep going back to the same setting over and over. so that's not in there." the settings of certain conversations in the book were also changed to make the scenes more "visually dynamic" on-screen, such as bella's revelation that she knows edward is a vampire—this happens in a meadow in the film instead of in edward's car as in the novel. a biology field trip scene is added to the film to condense the moments of bella's frustration at trying to explain how edward saved her from being crushed by a van. the villainous vampires are introduced earlier in the film than in the novel. rosenberg said that "you don't really see james and the other villains until to the last quarter of the book, which really won't work for a movie. you need that ominous tension right off the bat. we needed to see them and that impending danger from the start. and so i had to create back story for them, what they were up to, to flesh them out a bit as characters." rosenberg also combined some of the human high school students, with lauren mallory and jessica stanley in the novel becoming the character of jessica in the film, and a "compilation of a couple of different human characters" becoming eric yorkie. about these variances from the book, mooradian stated, "i think we did a really judicious job of distilling [the book]. our greatest critic, stephenie meyer, loves the screenplay, and that tells me that we made all the right choices in terms of what to keep and what to lose. invariably, you're going to lose bits and pieces that certain members of the audience are going to desperately want to see, but there's just a reality that we're not making 'twilight: the book' the movie." kristen stewart was on the set of "adventureland" when hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test that "captivated" the director. hardwicke had trouble finding an actor otherworldly enough to play vampire edward cullen. then she got a call about a guy in london. "i looked at a couple pictures and was like, ‘i’m not sure,’?" hardwicke says. "he had been fired from his last job, he was unemployed, he was in debt." pattinson flew to los angeles on his own dime to read with stewart. shiloh fernandez, jackson rathbone, ben barnes, and robert pattinson were the final four up for the role of edward. hardwicke did not initially choose robert pattinson for the role of edward cullen, but after an audition at her home with stewart, he was selected. hardwicke said, "kristen was like, ‘it’s got to be rob!’ she felt connected to him from the first moment. that electricity, or love at first sight, or whatever it is." hardwicke gave him the part, but he had to make a promise. "you’ve got to realize that kristen is 17 years old," hardwicke told him, "she’s underage. you’ve got to focus, dude, or you’re going to be arrested. i made him swear on a stack of bibles." pattinson was unfamiliar with the novel series prior to his screen test but read the books later on. meyer allowed him to view a manuscript of the unfinished "midnight sun", which chronicles the events in "twilight" from edward's point of view. fan reaction to pattinson's casting as edward was initially negative; rachelle lefèvre remarked that "[e]very woman had their own edward [that] they had to let go of before they could open up to [him], which they did." meyer was "excited" and "ecstatic" in response to the casting of the two main characters. she had expressed interest in having emily browning and henry cavill cast as bella and edward, respectively, prior to pre-production. peter facinelli was not originally cast as carlisle cullen. "[hardwicke] liked me, but there was another actor that the studio was pushing for", facinelli said. for unknown reasons, that actor was not able to play the part and facinelli was selected in his place. the choice of ashley greene to portray alice cullen was the subject of fan criticism due to greene being taller than her character as described in the novel. meyer had also stated that rachael leigh cook resembled her vision of alice. nikki reed had previously worked with hardwicke on "thirteen", which they wrote together, and "lords of dogtown". reed commented, "i don't want to say it's a coincidence, because we do work well together, and we have a great history. i think we make good work, but it's more that the people that hire [hardwicke] to direct a film of theirs [have] most likely seen her other work." kellan lutz was in africa shooting the hbo miniseries "generation kill" when the auditions for the character of emmett cullen were conducted. the role had already been cast by the time that production ended in december 2007, but the actor who had been selected "fell through"; lutz subsequently auditioned and was flown to oregon, where hardwicke personally chose him. rachelle lefèvre was interested in pursuing a role in the film because hardwicke was attached to the project as director; there was also "the potential to explore a character, hopefully, over three films"; and she wanted to portray a vampire. she "thought that vampires were basically the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions about being alive." christian serratos initially auditioned for jessica stanley, but she "fell totally in love with angela" after reading the novels and successfully took advantage of a later opportunity to audition for angela weber. the role of jessica stanley went to anna kendrick, who got the part after two mix-and-match auditions with various actors. on a bed in catherine hardwicke's house is where pattinson kissed stewart for the first time for the "twilight" screen test. "that bed made pattinson who he is right now," says reed. that's also where hardwicke auditioned evan rachel wood, when she had her get into her bed with nikki reed for the film "thirteen". when asked about her lair, hardwicke says, "mtv came and did an episode in my house filming the bed. it’s legendary." principal photography took 44 days, after more than a week of rehearsals, and completed on may 2, 2008. similar to her directorial debut "thirteen", hardwicke opted for an extensive use of hand-held cinematography to make the film "feel real". meyer visited the production set three times and was consulted on different aspects of the story; she also has a brief cameo in the film. cast members who portrayed vampires avoided sunlight to make their skin pale, though makeup was also applied for that effect, and wore contact lenses: "we did the golden color because the cullens have those golden eyes. and then, when we're hungry, we have to pop the black ones in," facinelli explained. they also participated in rehearsals with a dance choreographer and observed the physicality of different panthera to make their bodily movements more elegant. scenes were filmed primarily in portland, oregon. stunt work was done mainly by the cast. the fight sequence between gigandet and pattinson's characters in a ballet studio, which was filmed during the first week of production, involved a substantial amount of wire work because the vampires in the story have superhuman strength and speed. gigandet incorporated mixed martial arts fighting moves in this sequence, which involved chicken and honey as substitutes for flesh. bella, the protagonist, is unconscious during these events, and since the novel is told from her point of view, such action sequences are illustrative and unique to the film. pattinson noted that maintaining one's center of gravity is difficult when doing wire work "because you have to really fight against it as well as letting it do what it needs to do." lefèvre found the experience disorienting since forward motion was out of her control. instead of shooting at forks high school itself, scenes taking place at the school were filmed at kalama high school and madison high school. other scenes were filmed in st. helens, and hardwicke conducted some reshooting in pasadena, california, in august. "twilight" was originally scheduled to be theatrically released in the united states on december 12, 2008, but its release date was changed to november 21 after "harry potter and the half-blood prince" was rescheduled for an opening in july 2009. two teaser trailers, as well as some additional scenes, were released for the film, as well as a final trailer, which was released on october 9. a 15-minute excerpt of "twilight" was presented during the international rome film festival in italy. the film received a rating of pg-13 from the motion picture association of america for "some violence and a scene of sensuality". the score for "twilight" was composed by carter burwell, with the rest of the soundtrack chosen by music supervisor alexandra patsavas. meyer was consulted on the soundtrack, which includes music by muse and linkin park, bands she listened to while writing the novels. the original soundtrack was released on november 4, 2008, by chop shop records in conjunction with atlantic records. it debuted at number 1 on the "billboard" 200. "twilight" grossed over $7 million in ticket sales from midnight showings alone on november 21, 2008. the film is fifth overall on fandango's list of top advance ticket sales, outranked only by the following year, "" (2005), "the dark knight" (2008), and "harry potter and the half-blood prince" (2009). it grossed $35.7 million on its opening day. for its opening weekend in the united states and canada, "twilight" accumulated $69.6 million from 3,419 theaters at an average of $20,368 per theater. the film grossed $192,769,854 in the united states and canada, and $199,846,771 in international territories for a total of $392,616,625. its opening weekend gross was the highest ever of a female-directed film, surpassing that of "deep impact" (1998). "twilight" received mixed reviews from critics. based on 218 reviews collected by rotten tomatoes, the film has a rating of 49%, with a weighted average score of 5.41/10. the website's critical consensus reads: "having lost much of its bite transitioning to the big screen, "twilight" will please its devoted fans, but do little for the uninitiated." on metacritic, it has a weighted mean score of 56 based on 37 reviews from film critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". "new york press" critic armond white called the film "a genuine pop classic", and praised hardwicke for turning "meyer's book series into a brontë-esque vision." roger ebert gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote, "i saw it at a sneak preview. last time i saw a movie in that same theater, the audience welcomed it as an opportunity to catch up on gossip, texting, and laughing at private jokes. this time the audience was rapt with attention". in his review for the "los angeles times", kenneth turan wrote, ""twilight" is unabashedly a romance. all the story's inherent silliness aside, it is intent on conveying the magic of meeting that one special person you've been waiting for. maybe it is possible to be 13 and female for a few hours after all". "usa today" gave the film two out of four stars and claudia puig wrote, "meyer is said to have been involved in the production of "twilight", but her novel was substantially more absorbing than the unintentionally funny and quickly forgettable film". "entertainment weekly" gave the film a "b" rating and owen gleiberman praised hardwicke's direction: "she has reconjured meyer's novel as a cloudburst mood piece filled with stormy skies, rippling hormones, and understated visual effects". the film was released on dvd in north america on march 21, 2009, through midnight release parties, and sold over 3 million units in its first day. it was released on april 6, 2009 in the uk. bonus features include about 10 to 12 extended or deleted scenes, montages and music videos, behind-the-scenes interviews, a "making-of" segment, and commentary featuring hardwicke, stewart, and pattinson. the blu-ray disc edition of the film was released on march 21, 2009, in select locations, but was made more widely available at further retailers on may 5, 2009. as of july 2012, the film has sold 11,242,519 units, earning $201,190,019. the film and the next two installments of the twilight saga was rereleased as a triple feature with extended cuts on january 13, 2015. twilight was released on 4k blu-ray on october 23, 2018. a movie trivia video game developed by screenlife and published by konami for the wii, nintendo ds, pc and iphone was released alongside the second film. since its release, "twilight" has received numerous nominations and awards. in january 2009, carter burwell was nominated for film composer of the year by the international film music critics association. robert pattinson won bravo tv's a-list award for a-list breakout. at the 2009 mtv movie awards, pattinson, who was nominated alongside taylor lautner, also won an award for male breakthrough performance, "decode" was nominated for best song from a movie, "twilight" won an award for best movie, kristen stewart won for best female performance, stewart and pattinson were awarded best kiss, and pattinson and cam gigandet won an award for best fight. christian serratos won a young artist award for best performance in a feature film: supporting young actress. for the 2009 teen choice awards, held on august 9, the film and its actors received a combined total of 12 nominations, nine of which the film won. at the 2009 scream awards, the film was nominated for nine awards, four of which it won. the film won two alma awards for makeup and hairstyling. it also won the public choice award at the world soundtrack awards, where carter burwell was also nominated for composer of the year. catherine hardwicke received a young hollywood award for her directing. in addition, the film was nominated for best fantasy film at the 35th saturn awards and two grammy awards. mtv reported in february 2008 that summit entertainment intended to create a series of at least three films based on meyer's books. the studio had optioned "new moon", the second book in the series, by october 2008, and confirmed their plans to make a film based on it november 22, 2008. because catherine hardwicke had wanted more preparation time than summit's schedule for the production and release of the sequel would provide, chris weitz was selected to direct it in december 2008. henry a. kamen (born 1936 in rangoon) is a british historian, who has published extensively on europe, spain, and the spanish empire. henry arthur kamen was born in rangoon in 1936, the son of maurice joseph kamen, an anglo-burmese engineer working for shell oil, and his wife, agnes frizelle, by descent half anglo-irish and half nepalese. kamen was educated at chislehurst and sidcup grammar school, from where he won a major scholarship to study at the university of oxford, earning his doctorate at st antony's college. during national service he studied russian, and his first book was a translation of the poems of boris pasternak ("boris pasternak in the interlude poems 1945-1960"). between 1966 and 1992, kamen taught early modern spanish history at the university of warwick. he has worked at various universities in spain. in 1970, he was elected a fellow of the royal historical society. in 1984 he was appointed herbert f. johnson professor at the institute for research in the humanities, university of wisconsin - madison. he was a professor of the higher council for scientific research (csic) in barcelona from 1993 until his retirement in 2002. since then he has continued lecturing and writing, and lives currently in spain and in the united states. he is an influential contributor to the pages of the spanish daily newspaper "el mundo". strongly influenced by the research methods and social philosophy of the historians of the french annales school, he has attempted to combine quantitative history with sociological analysis and accessible narrative. in reaction against an earlier phase when he became immersed in statistical economic history, he has produced a number of biographies of the rulers of spain, whom he considers unduly neglected. he has also been one of the leading historians who have attacked the traditional "black legend" view of the spanish inquisition. his own views have changed since he published a book about the inquisition in the 1960s: his 1998 book provides extensive evidence that the inquisition was not made up of fanatics who rejoiced in torture and executions and that, for example, inquisition gaols were better run and more humane than ordinary spanish prisons. le maschere ("the masks") is an opera in a prologue and three acts by pietro mascagni to an italian libretto by luigi illica. the work was mascagni's homage to rossini and to the italian opera buffa and commedia dell'arte traditions. it was premiered simultaneously in six italian opera houses on 17 january 1901: la scala (with caruso as florindo, carelli as rosaura, and toscanini conducting); the teatro carlo felice in genoa; the teatro regio in turin; the teatro costanzi in rome; la fenice in venice; and the teatro filarmonico in verona. two days later, it premiered at the teatro san carlo in naples. apart from the performance in rome, conducted by mascagni himself (and later in the first run by his pupil roberto moranzoni), "le maschere" received a dismal reception, with the performance in genoa suspended halfway through because of the audience's vociferous expressions of displeasure. the opera was sporadically performed in italy over the next four years and then sank into obscurity. when mascagni revised and represented the opera in 1931 it met with little lasting success. however, sporadic revivals in the late 20th century have been greeted with some critical interest. in the prologue, a travelling commedia dell'arte troupe and their impresario present the characters they are about to play. the remaining three acts are the play itself wherein after many vicissitudes, florindo and rosaura, aided by columbina and arlecchino, manage to prevent the marriage which rosaura's father, pantalone, had planned for her. the only frequently encountered aria is "quella è una strada", a humorous aria sung - with much stuttering - by tartaglia. mascagni: le maschere (maria josè gallego, vincenzo la scola, amelia felle, giuseppe sabbatini, "et al."; orchestra and chorus of the teatro comunale di bologna). conductor: gianluigi gelmetti. ricordi / fonit cetra rfcd 2004 mascagni: le maschere (antonio cassinelli, cesy broggini, ferrando rizzieri, amedeo berdini, afro poli.) conductor bruno bartoletti. trieste, 1961. gala gl 100.731 vera steadman (june 23, 1900 – december 14, 1966) was an american film actress of the silent era. she appeared in 99 films between 1915 and 1941, in her first years appearing as one of the sennett bathing beauties. she was married to jack taylor. minor shadows is the second album by experimental electronic group 1 mile north. it was released in 2003 by ba da bing! records. kukkuripa was a mahasiddha who lived in india. he became interested in tantric buddhist practice, and chose the path of renunciation. during his travels, he found a starving dog in a bush. moved by compassion, he fed the dog and took care of her. the two stayed together and eventually found a cave where kukkuripa could meditate in peace. when he went out for food, the dog would stay and guard the cave. one day, after 12 years passed, the stories say that the gods of the thirty-three sensual heavens took note of kukkuripa's accomplishments, and invited him to their heavens. he accepted, and while there he was given many pleasureable things, such as great feasts. every time he would think of his loyal dog, left behind at the cave, he would begin to think that he should return to her, but every time they would convince him to stay. eventually, he looked down from the heavens and saw that his dog had become thin, sad, and hungry, and right there he decided that he would return to the cave. upon his return, both master and dog were happy, and upon scratching her, the dog instantly vanished. in her place stood a dakini. the dakini told him that he had learned that there are greater things than temptation, and helped grant him realization. he attained realization, and returned to kapilavastu, where he lived a long life for the benefit of others. according to lama surya das: the wisdom-dakini said: “kukkuripa is free from concepts. he sleeps in an outhouse, consorts with bitches, is without possessions; plays no instruments, and parrots no prayers or scriptures. since he relies on no higher authority than innate wisdom-awareness, we sky-going dakinis are bound to sport and consort with him.” kukkuripa was known for his tantric songs of realization and three of his verses appear in the charyapada, a collection of songs from 8-12th century india. herbert alexander collins, sr., (1865–1937) was a canadian-born american artist. he was known nationally in the united states as a landscape and portrait painter. herbert was born on october 21, 1865 in west williams township, middlesex county, ontario, canada. he was the son of james hamilton collins and lucinda collins, both of whom were born in ontario. his mother's father, william collins, was born in scotland. "at 17, collins was apprenticed to j. w. forster of toronto, one of the foremost portrait painters in canada. his progress was so rapid that before completing the first year of his apprenticeship, he painted a portrait of honorable albion rawlings, a member of the ontario parliament." his apprenticeship ended after he incurred a serious injury at a barn raising and then got pneumonia. he convalesced with his aunt, jean anderson collins shontz and uncle, benjamin shontz in omaha, nebraska. he emigrated to the united states in 1884. his younger brother james a collins was also a portrait artist. herbert and james had an artist shop together in omaha, nebraska in 1885. while in omaha, he painted portraits of nebraska governors james w. dawes and james e. boyd and senator john thurston. he also painted portraits of general nelson a. miles, general brooks, general george crook, and general oliver o. howard of fort omaha as well as english actress olga nethersole. on october 17, 1888, he married mary e. straight in chicago, illinois. she was born on november 12, 1867 in mount orab, ohio. her parents were born in ohio. together they had 9 children, six of which survived. their children were born between 1891 and 1904. he was in omaha in 1889 and 1890. "in 1890 collins and family moved to chicago, where he continued his career." "among the outstanding achievements of this period was a crayon portrait, eight feet long, of john plankinton, owner and operator of the plankinton hotel, milwaukee, wisconsin. for this piece of work he was said to have received the highest price ever paid in this country for a crayon portrait. later, the plankinton hotel was destroyed by fire and the picture with it." in 1893 he went to london for six months and studied at the royal academy. while there he met henry charles heath, the noted miniature painter. this contact marked the beginning of his specialty of miniature portraits painted with watercolor on ivory." in june 1900, the census records them living in chicago's 31st ward on bishop street. they already had 4 children. he worked as a portrait artist. during a four-month stay in mexico city in 1903, he painted a portrait of mexican president porfirio diaz, the secretary of state, and other high mexican officials. the portrait of diaz was destroyed in the 1910 revolution. in 1904, he did a portrait of charles hackley, which was hung in mr. hackley's newly completed gift to muskegon, michigan of the hackley hospital. in 1910, he and his family lived in hagerman, idaho, where he was an artist. in 1920, they lived in gooding, idaho, where he worked as an art instructor. he was a member of the lincoln lodge while there. the hagerman high school senior class of 1919 commissioned him to do a landscape of stanley lake in the sawtooth range as their class gift. in 1911, the idaho legislature voted an appropriation for painting the portraits of all territorial and state governors, including the then incumbent, james h. hawley. herbert entered the open competition and was awarded the contract. this resulted in a total of twenty pictures being painted in boise that year. his "portraits of idaho governors (are) hanging in the boise capitol building"... herbert made several significant portraits of naturalist john muir. the sierra club uses one of his portraits in their biographical materials about muir. one of these portraits is in the collection of the college of the siskiyous in weed, california. he moved to california in 1921. he settled in berkeley, california after a short time in los angeles. while in berkeley he painted portraits of mr. and mrs w. h. heywood in 1923. two years after the death of mary straight collins in 1925, he married josephine j. pratt of london ontario. she was born about 1864, emigrated to the united states in 1887, and died in 1950. "in the period 1928–34 he went into semi-retirement with his wife near los gatos, california they did considerable traveling, but he kept up his interest in art by painting a number of landscapes. in 1930, he is shown in the census with josephine in redwood township, santa clara county, california. redwood township is in the area of the modern cities of los gatos, monte sereno and saratoga california. "through the years 1934 to 1937, inclusive, he worked as artist-preparator in the western museum laboratories, national park service, berkeley, california. ... this was the happiest period of his professional life ..." his portrait of an indian camp near the tetons hangs in the colter bay indian arts museum in grand teton national park. his painting of the legend of mato the bear hangs over the fireplace in the visitors center at devils tower national monument. his work is also on display in the visitor center of tumacácori national historical park. he did portraits of national park service directors stephen mather, horace m. albright, and arno b. cammerer. herbert a. collins, sr. and his son herbert a. collins, jr. were commissioned in the spring of 1937, the final year of his life, to paint six yosemite valley reconstructions for the yosemite national park museum. these oil paintings show how the valley might have looked in six different times during its geographic evolution. they are also reproduced in the book "the incomparable valley". his portraits of the kent family are in the muir woods national monument in marin county, california. they were unveiled not long before his death. his oakland tribune second page obituary summarized his career by saying that he was "widely heralded for his portrait artistry" and that "he did much work for the national park service". he died at his home of a heart attack on december 5, 1937 in berkeley, california. his funeral was on december 7, 1937 at the berg chapel, officiated by dr. horace westerwood. he was buried in mountain view cemetery in oakland, california. he was living at 2119 addison street in berkeley at the time. he was survived by his wife, two daughters, and four sons. his son william w. collins became a photographer. matthias döring (in the 1390s – 24 july 1469) was a german franciscan historian and theologian. he was born and died at kyritz, brandenburg. he joined the friars minor in his native place, studied at the university of oxford, was graduated (1424) at erfurt as doctor of theology, and for some years taught theology and biblical exegesis. in 1427 he was elected provincial of his order for saxony. in the disputes between the conventuals and observantines he took an active part. in 1443 at berne the conventuals elected him minister-general. this position he held for six years, receiving approbation from the general council of basle. in this council he had been prominent since 1432 as a reformer, and an adherent of the supremacy of a general council over the pope. he was sent by it to denmark, to win over the king and the people, and assisted in the deposition (1439) of pope eugene iv and the election of the antipope felix v. excommunicated by the archbishop of magdeburg he appealed to rome. in 1461 he resigned his office and spent the last years of his life in literary work at the convent of kyritz. döring is said to be the author of the "confutation primatus papae", written (1443) anonymously and without title. name and title were added when the article was edited in 1550 by matthias flacius illyricus. it is in part an extract from the "defensor pacis" of marsilius of padua (printed in goldast, "monarchia", i, 557 sqq.). other works attributed to döring are "defensorium postillae nicolai lyrani", against the spanish bishop, paul of burgos, since 1481 frequently printed with the "postillae"; "liber perplexorum ecclesiae" (lost); continuation (1420 to 1464) of the "chronicle" of dietrich engelhus. he also wrote on the donation of constantine and (1444) on the relics of the precious blood of wilsnack. purity dilution is the first album released by defecation, and the only release of the two to have mick harris on it. it was released in 1989 on nuclear blast records, and was issued in four different versions: laurie blalock vanzura(born texas, united states) is an american author of contemporary romance novels, first under the pseudonym laura anthony, and now as lori wilde. laurie blalock was born in texas, united states. she wrote her first short story at age eight, and finished her first novel four years later. at sixteen, she submitted a story to alfred hitchcock magazine. although it was rejected, she received a handwritten note telling her to keep writing. she continued to write, finishing 60 short stories over the next 10 years, persisting even while attending nursing school. all of her short stories were rejected, and a writing teacher finally suggested, in 1990, that she try to write a novel. wilde took the teacher's advice, and in 1994 sold her second completed work to silhouette romance under the pseudonym laura anthony. wilde wrote 11 novels under that name, with one becoming a finalist for the romance writers of america rita award. until 2004, wilde wrote category romances for harlequin, primarily in their duet and blaze lines. her first single title, "license to thrill", was published in 2003. wilde has been nominated three times for "romantic times" reviewers' choice awards, for "coaxing cupid", "packed with pleasure", and "santa's sexy secret". she has also been nominated for a "romantic times" career achievement award in series love and laughter. she has won first place in the colorado award of excellence, the more than magic, the wisconsin right touch, the laurel wreath, the desert rose golden quill and the lories. in 2007 she was also honored as distinguished alumna by weatherford college. in 2010, her book "the first love cookie club" was on the "usa today" and "the new york times" best seller lists for five weeks. luke's speedy club life is a 1916 american short comedy film starring harold lloyd. leanne rivlin (born 1929) is an originator of the environmental psychology doctoral program at the cuny graduate center in the late 1960s. "for the game, see habbo." habbo is a settlement in chichaoua province, marrakesh-safi, morocco. the variability hypothesis, also known as the greater male variability hypothesis, states that males display greater variability in traits than females do. it has often been discussed in relation to cognitive ability, where it has been observed that human males are more likely than females to have either very high or very low intelligence. the sex-difference in the variability of intelligence has been discussed since at least charles darwin. sex-differences in variability are present in many abilities and traits — including physical, psychological and genetic ones. it is not only found in humans but in other sexually dimorphic species as well. the notion of greater male variability — at least in respect to physical characteristics — can be traced back to the writings of charles darwin. when he expounded his theory of sexual selection in "the descent of man and selection in relation to sex", darwin noted that in many species, including humans, males tended to show greater variation than females in sexually selected traits: to exemplify this greater male variability in humans, darwin also cites some observations made by his contemporaries. for example, he highlights findings from the novara expedition of 1861–67 where "a vast number of measurements of various parts of the body in different races were made, and the men were found in almost every case to present a greater range of variation than the women" (p. 275). to darwin, the evidence from the medical community at the time, which suggested a greater prevalence of physical abnormalities among men than women, was also indicative of man's greater physical variability. although darwin was curious about sex differences in variability throughout the animal kingdom, variability in humans was not a chief concern of his research. the first scholar to carry out a detailed empirical investigation on the question of human sex differences in variability in both physical and mental faculties, was the sexologist havelock ellis. in his 1894 publication "man and women: a study of human sexual characters", ellis dedicated an entire chapter to the subject, entitled “"the variational tendency of men"”. in this chapter he posits that "“both the physical and mental characters of men show wider limits of variation than do the physical and mental characters of women”" (p. 358). ellis documents several studies that support this assertion (see pp. 360–367), and the publication of ellis's "man and women" led to an intellectual dispute about the variability hypothesis between ellis and the renowned statistician karl pearson, whose critique of ellis's work was both theoretical and methodological. after pearson dismissed ellis's conclusions, he then "presented his own data to show that it was the female who was more variable than the male" ellis wrote a letter to pearson thanking him for the criticisms which would allow him to present his arguments "more clearly & precisely than before", but did not yield his position regarding greater male variability (ibid pp. 777 - 778). support for the greater male variability hypothesis grew during the early part of the 20th century. during this period, the attention of researchers shifted towards studying variability in mental abilities partly due to the advent of standardised mental tests (see the history of the intelligence quotient), which made it possible to examine intelligence with greater objectivity and precision. one advocate of greater male variability during this time was the american psychologist edward thorndike, one of the leading exponents of mental testing who played an instrumental role in the development of today's armed services vocational aptitude battery asvab. in his 1906 publication "sex in education", thorndike argued that while mean level sex differences in intellectual ability appeared to be negligible, sex differences in variability were clear . other influential proponents of the hypothesis at this time were psychologists g. stanley hall and james mckeen cattell.. thorndike believed that variability in intelligence could have a biological basis and suggested that this could have important implications for achievement and pedagogy. for example, he postulated that greater male variation could mean "eminence and leadership of the world's affairs of whatever sort will inevitably belong oftener to men" (hollingsworth, 1914, p. 511). in addition, since the number of women that fall within the extreme top-end of the intelligence distribution would be inherently smaller, he suggested that educational resources should be invested in preparing women for roles and occupations that require only a mediocre level of cognitive ability . by examining the case records of 1,000 patients at the clearing house for mental defectives, leta hollingworth determined that, although men outnumbered women in the clearing house, the ratio of men to women decreased with age. hollingworth explained this to be the result of men facing greater societal expectations than women. consequently, deficiencies in men were often detected at an earlier age, while similar deficiencies in women might not be detected because less was expected of them. therefore, deficiencies in women would be required to be more pronounced than those in men in order to be detected at similar ages. hollingworth also attacked the variability hypothesis theoretically, criticizing the underlying logic of the hypothesis. hollingworth argued that the variability hypothesis was flawed because: (1) it had not been empirically established that men were more anatomically variable than women, (2) even if greater anatomical variability in men were established this would not necessarily mean that men were also more variable in mental traits, (3) even if it were established that men were more variable in mental traits this would not automatically mean that men were innately more variable, (4) variability is not significant in and of itself, but rather depends on what the variability consists of, and (5) that any possible differences in variability between men and women must also be understood with reference to the fact that women lack the opportunity to achieve eminence because of their prescribed societal and cultural roles. additionally, the argument that great variability automatically meant greater range was criticized by hollingworth. in an attempt to examine the validity of the variability hypothesis, while avoiding intervening social and cultural factors, hollingworth gathered data on birth weight and length of 1,000 male and 1,000 female newborns. this research found virtually no difference in the variability of male and female infants, and it was concluded that if variability "favoured" any sex it was the female sex. additionally, along with the anthropologist robert lowie, hollingworth published a review of literature from anatomical, physiological, and cross-cultural studies, in which no objective evidence was found to support the idea of innate female inferiority. the 21st century has witnessed a resurgence of research on gender differences in variability, with most of the emphasis on humans. the results vary based on the type of problem, but some recent studies have found that the variability hypothesis is true for parts of iq tests, with more men falling at the extremes of the distribution. in general, most researchers have failed to find greater variability in either sex in any area that is consistent across cultures and not confounded by social factors. a 2007 meta-analysis found that males are more variable on most measures of quantitative and visuospatial ability. recent studies shows that greater male variability in mathematics persists in the u.s., although the ratio of boys to girls at the top end of the distribution is reversed in some specific immigrant groups. a 2010 meta-analysis of 242 studies found that males have an 8% greater variance in mathematical abilities than females. a 2014 review found that males tend to have higher variance on mathematical and verbal abilities but females tend to have higher variance on fear and emotionality; however, the differences in variance are small and the causes remain unknown. a 2005 meta-analyses found greater female variability on the standard raven's progressive matrices, and no difference in variability on the advanced progressive matrices, but also found that males had a higher average general intelligence. a 2016 study by baye and monseur examining twelve databases from the international association for the evaluation of educational achievement and the program for international student assessment, were used to analyse gender differences within an international perspective from 1995 to 2015, and concluded, "the 'greater male variability hypothesis' is confirmed." this study found that on average, boys showed 14% greater variance than girls in science, reading, and math test scores. in reading, boys were significantly represented at the bottom of score distribution, whereas for maths and science they featured more at the top. contrary to the findings of an earlier meta-analysis published in the 1990s, where "no consistent gender differences (variance ratios) were found across countries", baye and monseur found that greater male variability was virtually universal across nations. these results have been replicated and expanded in a 2019 meta-analytical extension published by helen gray and her associates, which found that policies leading to greater female participation in the workforce tended to increase female variability and, therefore, decrease the variability gap. the variability hypothesis has continued to spur controversy within academic circles. one of the most prominent incidents occurred in 2005 when then harvard president, larry summers, addressed the national bureau of economic research conference on the subject of gender diversity in the science and engineering professions. summers confined his comments to "the issue of women's representation in tenured positions in science and engineering at top universities and research institutions" remarking that "it does appear that on many, many different human attributes - height, weight, propensity for criminality, overall iq, mathematical ability, scientific ability - there is relatively clear evidence that whatever the difference in means - which can be debated - there is a difference in the standard deviation, and variability of a male and a female population." the address caused outrage, particularly when it was misquoted by academics and the media. for example, computer scientist david gelernter claimed that summers had "suggested that, on average, maybe women are less good than men at science... [and that] summers had made a statement about averages, not individuals." cognitive psychologist steven pinker highlighted in an article for "the new republic" that "nancy hopkins, the eminent mit biologist and advocate for women in science, stormed out of the room to avoid, she said, passing out from shock. an engineering dean called summers's remarks "an intellectual tsunami" and "a "boston globe" columnist compared him to people who utter racial epithets or wear swastikas." the backlash was so damaging that summers faced a non-confidence vote from the faculty of arts and sciences, prompting his resignation as president. ourense () is one of the 52 constituencies () represented in the congress of deputies, the lower chamber of the spanish parliament, the cortes generales. the constituency currently elects four deputies. its boundaries correspond to those of the spanish province of ourense. the electoral system uses the d'hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation, with a minimum threshold of 3 percent. the constituency was created as per the political reform act 1977 and was first contested in the 1977 general election. the act provided for the provinces of spain to be established as multi-member districts in the congress of deputies, with this regulation being maintained under the spanish constitution of 1978. additionally, the constitution requires for any modification of the provincial limits to be approved under an organic law, needing an absolute majority in the cortes generales. voting is on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprises all nationals over eighteen and in full enjoyment of their political rights. the only exception was in 1977, when this was limited to nationals "over twenty-one" and in full enjoyment of their political "and" civil rights. amendments to the electoral law in 2011 required for spaniards abroad to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote (). 348 seats are elected using the d'hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 3 percent of valid votes—which includes blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. parties not reaching the threshold are not taken into consideration for seat distribution. additionally, the use of the d'hondt method may result in an effective threshold over three percent, depending on the district magnitude. each provincial constituency is entitled to an initial minimum of two seats, with the remaining 248 allocated among the constituencies in proportion to their populations. ceuta and melilla are allocated the two remaining seats, which are elected using plurality voting. the electoral law provides that parties, federations, coalitions and groupings of electors are allowed to present lists of candidates. however, groupings of electors are required to secure the signature of at least 1 percent of the electors registered in the constituency for which they are seeking election—0.1 percent and, at least, the signature of 500 electors, until 1985—. also since 2011, parties, federations or coalitions who have not obtained a mandate in either house of parliament at the preceding election are required to secure the signature of at least 0.1 percent of the electors registered in the constituency for which they are seeking election. electors are barred from signing for more than one list of candidates. concurrently, parties and federations intending to enter in coalition to take part jointly at an election are required to inform the relevant electoral commission within ten days of the election being called. gabriel traversari (born gabriel augusto traversari y debayle on september 7, 1963) is a nicaraguan american actor, director, writer, singer, songwriter, painter and photographer. traversari was born in los angeles, california, but grew up in el crucero, a municipality just outside managua, nicaragua. he was sent to a junior boarding school in pomfret, connecticut called the rectory school and graduated high school at middlesex school in concord, massachusetts. traversari went on to graduate from florida state university in tallahassee, florida with a bachelor of arts in acting. while in school he performed on stage in "twelfth night" (as antonio), "the apple tree" (as adam), "princess ida" (as cyril), "macbeth" (as

festival (festival del nuevo cine latinoamericano), the london latin film festival and others. he also made a cameo appearance in tlc's 90 day fiancé. traversari launched his first cd, luna de piel, in 2002. brandenburg-schwedt was a secundogeniture of the hohenzollern margraves of brandenburg, established by prince philip william who took his residence at schwedt castle in 1689. by appanage, they administered the manors of schwedt and vierraden on the oder river (uckermark and neumark) as well as wildenbruch in pomerania (present-day swobnica, poland). though prosperous, the cadet branch never obtained imperial immediacy. because of a lack of money in the late days of the disastrous thirty years' war (1618–1648), the "great elector frederick william of brandenburg in about 1640 mortgaged the schwedt region to the baltic german noble gustav adolf von (varrensback, varensbeke) for the sum 25,000 thalers. his second wife, electress sophia dorothea, daughter of duke philip of schleswig-holstein-sonderburg-glücksburg, personally re-acquired the territory for 26,500 thalers shortly after the birth of her first son prince philipp william (1669–1711). dorothea dedicated herself to the reconstruction of the renaissance castle at schwedt, which had been devastated in the thirty years' war, as well as to the economic development of the town and its surroundings. dutch experts and french huguenots were invited to cultivate tobacco in the spring of 1686. by the end of the 18th century, the uckermark, with an area of 44 km², was the largest coherent tobacco-producing region in the holy roman empire. its three cigar factories were the most important economic driving forces in the region. for financial safeguarding of her sons, she later also purchased the lordship of wildenbruch and further estates. upon the death of his mother in 1689, philipp william and his brothers inherited a vast territory including three towns, three castles, 33 villages, and 24 farmsteads. in 1692 he came to terms with his elder half-brother elector frederick iii in 1692, obtained a considerable severance payment and the title of a "margrave of brandenburg-schwedt"; intensively cultivating his dominions and furnishing his castle in a baroque style at great expense. his younger brother albert frederick (1672–1731) became a general lieutenant and grand master of the order of saint john; the third-born, charles philip (1673–1695) likewise became an officer and shortly before his death secretly married the piemontese noblewoman caterina di balbiano, who called herself "madame de brandebourg" as a widow. the youngest of dorothea's sons was margrave christian ludwig (1677–1734), officer and administrator of halberstadt, the honoree of bach's "brandenburg concertos". the brisk building activity was continued by philipp william's son and successor, margrave frederick william (1700-1771). initially under the tutelage of his uncle frederick (prussian king as "frederick i" since 1701) he ruled his dominions from 1731 onwards and began to develop schwedt into a country seat for the cadet line. in 1734 he had married his cousin princess sophia dorothea of prussia, a sister of king frederick the great. as he left no male heirs upon his death, philip william's youngest son, frederick henry (1709-1788) ruled as the last margrave of brandenburg-schwedt and developed schwedt into a cultural center. known for his numerous love affairs, his marriage with princess leopoldine marie of anhalt-dessau likewise produced no male descendants. after frederick henry's death in 1788, the male line of brandenburg-schwedt became extinct and their appanage territories reverted to the king of prussia. for a few years, beginning in 1794, the castle of schwedt was the residence of king frederick william ii of prussia's second son, prince frederick louis charles of prussia. the last schwedt heiress elisabeth louise, daughter of margrave frederick william, died in 1820. descendants from sophia dorothea of schleswig-holstein-sonderburg-glücksburg (1636–1689) by her marriage with frederick william, elector of brandenburg: luke and the bang-tails is a 1916

(march 24, 1827- february 27, 1889) was a presbyterian minister, writer and educator. he was the third president of cumberland university, and wrote the history of the cumberland presbyterian church. benjamin wilburn mcdonnold was born in overton county, tennessee and raised on a farm. he exhibited a strong religious turn of mind from a young age, likely inspired by his mother, martha. he began preparing to become a minister at age 12, attaining candidacy at age 16. around this time, it is said that he memorized and could recite the entire new testament. he attended college at cumberland college in princeton, kentucky, graduating in 1849. he became professor of mathematics at bethel seminary, and later at bethel college. when the college closed during the civil war he became pastor of the presbyterian church at lebanon, tennessee, and for a time a chaplain in the confederate army. after the war, he accepted a position to teach at the re-opened cumberland university. near the end of 1866, he was named the third president of the university, taking over for recently named president anderson, who resigned due to poor health. this was a very difficult time for the school, which had virtually no money, buildings or students remaining after the war. his hard work alongside the trustees helped the school to re-establish itself, and by 1870-71, 335 students were attending the university. in failing health, he resigned the presidency in 1873. after a time of rest his health returned, and he spent time evangelizing in such places as texas, california and pennsylvania. he was requested by the cumberland presbyterian church board of publication to write the history of the cumberland presbyterian church, which he did. he died at his home in lebanon, tennessee on february 27, 1889 (age 62). svartsot is a danish folk metal band formed in 2005 in randers. on december 17, 2008, michael lundquist andersen, niels thøgersen, claus b. gnudtzmann and martin kielland-brandt announced they had left the band because of different opinions on how to run a band and how the music should sound. the band's whistler, stewart lewis, is currently on a hiatus due to the continuing state of his wife’s ill health. on february 22, 2009, svartsot had announced their new band lineup is complete. stewart lewis was replaced for live shows, but was still considered a member of the band for some time. in 2010, the band released a new album, "mulmets viser", through napalm records. despite cristoffer j.s. frederiksen being the only remaining member of the previous lineup, his position as the band's guitarist, composer and lyricist ensured that the band retained its musical identity. "mulmets viser" garnered a fairly positive critical response, although several critics pointed out that the band's strict adherence to their particular formula resulted in the album gradually losing listeners' attention as it progressed. the byam martin mountains are a rugged mountain range extending east to west across bylot island, nunavut, canada. it is one of the most northern ranges in the world and is an extension of the baffin mountains which in turn form part of the arctic cordillera mountain system. the highest mountain in the range is angilaaq mountain, , located near the island's center. sharp peaks and ridges, divided by deep glacier-filled valleys are typical features in the range and has been extensively modified by glacial erosion. the byam martin mountains have not been conducive to habitation. while there are no permanent settlements in the byam martin mountains, inuit from pond inlet and elsewhere regularly travel to the range. the byam martin mountains are made up of archean-aphebian igneous crystalline rock and proterozoic metasedimentary and metamorphic rock, such as gneiss. the first known expedition to the byam martin mountains was by pat baird in 1939. he traversed bylot island from the aktineq glacier to bathurst bay on the east coast and returned down the sermilik glacier. on june 7, 1939 he climbed an unnamed, 6,000 ft mountain at coordinates 73deg 06.7'n 078deg 30.5'w. mount thule 1,711m (5,614 ft) was climbed in 1954 by american ben ferris, a member of the harvard mountaineering club. in 1963, british explorer bill tilman sailed his boat to the north coast and traversed the island from north to south, but did not climb any of the larger peaks. laurie dexter, an anglican minister and arctic resident, explored and climbed peaks on the southern coast. in 1974, dr. george van brunt cochran climbed an unnamed peak west of the narsarsuk glacier on the south coast. in 1977, a canadian expedition led by rob kelly and four others, traversed the island from nw to se. they climbed 20 peaks, including pat baird's unnamed peak on july 27, 1977. in june 1981, another canadian expedition led by jack debruyn with three other members of the grant macewan mountain club from edmonton, alberta, traversed the island from nw to s. they climbed 15 peaks, with 14 first ascents, and also pat baird's unnamed peak on july 3, 1981. in 1984, another canadian expedition led by mike schmidt and others traversed the island from n to se, climbing 28 peaks, with 16 first ascents. luke, the chauffeur is a 1916 american short comedy film starring harold lloyd. nicholas gordon richards (born 25 february 1956 in alnwick, northumberland) is a british racehorse trainer specialising mainly in national hunt racing. he is based at stables at greystoke, near penrith, cumbria, england he was british champion amateur flat jockey in 1973 and subsequently worked as assistant trainer to his father, gordon w. richards. he took over the training licence when his father died in 1998. he saddled a winner with his first runner, better times ahead, at carlisle racecourse in october 1998. the most successful horse he has trained to date is monet's garden, winner of the ascot chase, melling chase and old roan chase in 2007. the grey won his third old roan chase in 2010 having also won it in 2009. one of richards most successful days as a trainer came at the aintree festival on 7 april 2005,when he trained three winners on the card. the horses involved were monet's garden, faasel, and turpin green. maytime is a musical with music by sigmund romberg and lyrics and book by rida johnson young, and with additional lyrics by cyrus wood. the story is based on the 1913 german operetta "wie einst im mai" ("like once in may"), composed by walter kollo, with words by rudolf bernauer and rudolph schanzer. the story, set in new york, is told in episodes covering a long period, from 1840 to the 20th century. wealthy young ottillie is in love with dick, but they are kept apart by family and circumstance. years later, their descendants marry. "maytime" introduced songs such as "the road to paradise", "will you remember?" and "jump jim crow". the musical ran on broadway from 1917 to 1918. it was the second longest-running book musical in the 1910s, and it established romberg as one of the leading creators of operettas. the beautiful ottilie van zandt is the daughter of a wealthy colonel who owns a cooperage. she loves richard "dick" wayne, the son of her father's foreman, but her father wishes her to marry her cousin, a drunken libertine. dick travels and becomes a success, but when he returns, he finds his beloved betrothed, and so he marries another woman. after many years, both are single again, but they are never able to consummate their love. dick saves ottilie from bankruptcy by purchasing her home before she is evicted. still later, the couple's grandchildren meet and marry happily. the original broadway production opened at the shubert theatre on august 16, 1917, and later moved to the 44th street, broadhurst and lyric theatres, running for a total of 492 performances. it starred peggy wood and charles purcell and featured ralph herbert, william norris and gertrude vanderbilt.

randall in the cbs western series, "". though mills did much television work, he also found regular work in motion pictures. he is probably best known as the suspicious highway patrolman who follows marion crane (janet leigh) in alfred hitchcock's classic thriller "psycho" (1960). a few years later, he worked again with hitchcock, playing a spy in east germany under the cover of being a farmer in

http://members.genashowalter.com/events/official-release-of-the a trunk deck ship is a type of merchant ship with a hull that was stepped inward in order to obtain more favourable treatment under canal toll rules then in effect. as those tolls were set by net tonnage, a measure of volume, and as the tonnage rules did not account for all of the cargo space of such vessels, trunk deck ships incurred lower tolls than more conventional ships of equivalent capacity. when the measurement rules were changed, the type was no longer built. trunk deck ships were influenced by (some would say copied from) turret deck ships. in 1892, the sunderland, england firm of william doxford and sons ltd. built its first turret deck ship. inspired by u.s. whalebacks, one of which had recently visited liverpool, doxford built a ship which had a curved hull form which was stepped in above the waterline. the narrow part of the hull, called a "turret", was part of the hold. four years after the first turret deck ship, the first trunk deck ship appeared. ss "trunkby", completed in 1896, was built by robert ropner at his shipyard at stockton-on-tees. this vessel was of "three-island" construction with a forecastle, bridge house, and quarterdeck, extending to the full width of a low-freeboard hull. a distinctive feature was a long "trunk" along the centerline, with a breadth of about half the vessel's beam, which connected the three elements of the superstructure. this trunk was stepped inward from the sides of the hull. that trunk was not a deckhouse or superstructure, but was part of the hull, and contained cargo space. in hull form, trunk ships resembled turret deck vessels, differing mainly in eliminating the curves and joining the above-water horizontal part of the hull with the vertical strakes and sides of the trunk by right angles. the similarity was such that doxford, builder and operator of the turret decks, sued ropners for patent infringement. as with turret deck ships, the design of the trunk deck ships was said to maximize strength while reducing the amount of steel needed for construction. disadvantages included the narrow hatches atop the trunk, which inhibited efficient loading and unloading. the low freeboard meant smaller waves could board the ship, and the bridge and superstructure therefore had to be stronger to resist wave action. trunk deck ships had a low net tonnage (an approximate measure of cargo space) in comparison to their deadweight tonnage capacity (weight of cargo). net tonnage is a computation of volume, and the method of measurement used at the suez canal to determine tolls was based on a measure of net tonnage which excluded the cargo spaces in the trunks of these unconventional hulls. trunk deck ships therefore paid less in tolls. in 1911 the toll measure changed at suez, and construction of the type ceased. sherwood larned washburn ( – ), nicknamed "sherry", was an american physical anthropologist and pioneer in the field of primatology, opening it to the study of primates in their natural habitats. his research and influence in the comparative analysis of primate behaviors to theories of human origins established a new course of study within the field of human evolution. he was born and raised in cambridge, massachusetts to henry bradford washburn, sr., dean of the episcopal theological school in cambridge, and edith buckingham hall. he was the younger brother of henry bradford washburn. in his youth, washburn took a keen interest in the field of natural history, and during school vacations worked with exhibits and collections in harvard’s museum of comparative zoology. washburn graduated "summa cum laude" from harvard university with a bachelor's degree in anthropology in 1935, followed by a ph.d. in anthropology in 1940. for a time, washburn considered pursuing his doctorate in zoology, and in his first year in graduate school, worked as an assistant with a zoological expedition in southern asia called the asiatic primate expedition. his work as a graduate student in comparative anatomy, comparative psychology, animal locomotion mechanics, and paleontology helped shape in him a multi-disciplinary perspective toward the study of evolutionary origins. washburn married henrietta pease in 1938, and they had two children, sherwood "tuck" and stan. they subsequently resided in new york, chicago, illinois and berkeley, california, where sherwood held university positions. washburn died in berkeley in 2000 at age 88. washburn entered harvard's graduate program with the intention of pursuing a doctorate in zoology. his focus shifted to anthropology after being induced to attend an introductory seminar on the subject led by his freshman advisor and close family friend alfred tozzer. finding the mixture of archaeology, customs and human evolution stimulating, he joined the physical anthropology program led by earnest hooton where he was able to enfold his zoological coursework such as comparative anatomy and paleontology in his approach to the study of human evolution. doctoral students in harvard's physical anthropology program were forced to look beyond the anthropology department to secure the necessary training, which washburn considered fortuitous because the experience left him with deep appreciation how much more can be learned when a multidisciplinary effort is brought into the analysis. while studying for his doctorate, washburn received his first opportunity to engage in fieldwork. he served as an assistant zoologist in harold j. coolidge's 1935–1936 asiatic primate expedition. in malaysia he helped collect specimens of various species of colobine and macaque monkeys and the orangutan. in sri lanka and thailand he also collected specimens of lar gibbon and observed their behavior in natural surroundings. he continued this work on the collection when he returned to harvard, at times assisted by gabriel lasker. washburn would later credit the ongoing discussions between lasker and himself during this period (1938) as formative to his views about human variability. to washburn, human variability was to be understood in terms of population genetics, and not according to the terms of racial and constitutional typology as typified by his doctoral advisor, hooton. his doctoral thesis was a metrical appraisal of proportions in the skeletons of adult macaques and langurs. his doctorate, awarded in 1940, was the first from harvard's anthropology department to be awarded for a study of non-human primates. upon graduating harvard, washburn accepted a position as associate professor of anatomy in columbia university college of physicians and surgeons, where he remained for eight years. from 1947–1958 he was a professor of anthropology at the university of chicago, for a time serving as department chair. he left the university of chicago for a professorship in university of california, berkeley, where he remained until his retirement in 1979. in 1975 the university elected him to the appointment of university professor, one of 35 such appointments granted since the position was first created in 1960. luke's preparedness preparations is a 1916 short comedy film starring harold lloyd. new york state route 20n (ny 20n) was a state highway in central new york in the united states. it was an alternate route of u.s. route 20 (us 20) that stretched for between marcellus and cazenovia. the road began at its parent route, us 20, and ny 174 in marcellus and ended at us 20, ny 20sy, and ny 92 in cazenovia. all of ny 20n was concurrent with at least one other route, namely ny 174 in marcellus, ny 175 from marcellus to onondaga hill, ny 173 from onondaga hill to manlius, and ny 92 and ny 20sy between manlius and cazenovia. ny 20n was assigned in may 1937 and removed in 1961 along with ny 20sy. ny 20n began at an intersection with us 20 and ny 174 in the town of marcellus. the route headed north, overlapping ny 174 through the town of marcellus into the village of marcellus. at the time, the two routes entered the village on south street and followed it north to main street. ny 20n and ny 174 turned east, following main for a half-block to north street. here, ny 20n and ny 174 split, with ny 174 heading to the west and ny 20n proceeding east along ny 175, which began at this junction at the time of ny 20n's removal. ny 20n and ny 175 continued east to onondaga, where ny 173 joined the two routes and created a three-route overlap for . at the east end of the overlap, ny 20n continued east along ny 173 into the southernmost section of syracuse. here, the two routes intersected ny 80 and us 11 and passed under interstate 81 before exiting the city limits. now in the town of de witt, ny 20n and ny 173 met the northern terminus of ny 91 in the hamlet of jamesville. the overlap between ny 20n and ny 173 ended to the east in the village of manlius, where ny 92 and ny 20sy joined both routes just west of where ny 173 split from ny 20n and continued to the east. outside of manlius, ny 20n, ny 20sy and ny 92 headed southeast for to cazenovia, where all three routes ended at us 20 adjacent to cazenovia lake and west of the village. the portion of ny 20n from the intersection of ny 174 and ny 175 in the village of marcellus to the junction of ny 92 and ny 173 in manlius was part of the seneca turnpike. the turnpike was created in the 1800s and at the time was the longest in the state. the establishment of an alternate route to u.s. route 20, which bypassed syracuse to the south, began in 1933. local restaurants, hotels and gas stations, along with the syracuse chamber of commerce all demanded a route bearing the "20" number on

statement. from clauses are very common, and will provide the rowset to be exposed through a select statement, the source of values in an update statement, and the target rows to be deleted in a delete statement. codice_1 is an sql reserved word in the standard. the codice_1 clause is used in conjunction with sql statements, and takes the following general form: the from clause can generally be anything that returns a rowset, a table, view, function, or system-provided information like the information schema, which is typically running proprietary commands and returning the information in a table form. the following query returns only those rows from table "mytable" where the value in column "mycol" is greater than 100. the from clause is technically required in relational algebra and in most scenarios to be useful. however many relational dbms implementations may not require it for selecting a single value, or single row - known as dual table in oracle database. other systems will require a from statement with a keyword, even to select system data. spade ranch may refer to: luke, the gladiator is a 1916 short comedy film starring harold lloyd. pleasant valley is a small valley in washington county, maryland, united states. the valley is bound by south mountain to the east, elk ridge to the west and the potomac river to the south. to the north the valley opens up to connect with the hagerstown valley near boonsboro. the northern definition of pleasant valley is the watershed divide between the israel creek and the little antietam creek, both tributaries of the potomac river. this northern watershed boundary lies to the north of the little town of gapland (on israel creek) and to the south of rohrersville (a town in the little antietam creek drainage area). geographically the valley is an extension of the between the hills valley south of the potomac in virginia. the short hill fault, which separates elk ridge from south mountain runs along the east edge of pleasant valley, along the west flank of south mountain. the eastern side of pleasant valley, on the slope of south mountain is the location of william park's ""park hall."" surveyed in 1731 it was the first land tract (legally) patented by a euromerican in what would eventually become washington county. pleasant valley is on the east side of elk ridge mountain. on the opposite (west side) of elk ridge is the historic kennedy farm where john brown and his followers stayed prior to their raid on nearby harpers ferry, west virginia. a handful of john brown's men escaped from the federal soldiers after the raid was defeated, and the escape route that these men took went north to pennsylvania following elk ridge and south mountain. the escaping raiders crossed from elk ridge mountain to south mountain in the area around rohrersville, to the north of pleasant valley. nestled at the foot of elk ridge on the west side of the lower valley is the community of yarrowsburg, named for early (1830's) free african-american residents aquilla and polly yarrow. during the antietam campaign of the american civil war, pleasant valley was the site of a confederate picket line, intended to prevent general george b. mcclellan's union army from coming to the rescue of the union garrison in harpers ferry. later, after the battle of antietam, the farmland of pleasant valley was filled with tents of soldiers from the union army—pleasant valley was a designated bivouac for rest and recovery after the battle. giovanni parenti, o.f.m. (died 1250) was an italian friar minor and successor of st. francis of assisi as head of the order. parenti had a legal background. he served as minister provincial in spain before being chosen minister general in 1227. parenti held a literal interpretation of poverty as it applied to the order; a view that was not shared by everyone. he stepped down in 1232 and was succeeded by elias of cortona. parenti was born in carmignano near pistoia. he was a lawyer and judge in civita castellana. he became a member of the province of tuscany. after the general chapter of 1219, he was sent to the iberian peninsula, to succeed bernard of quintavalle as minister provincial for that region. in 1220, francis resigned the office of general of the order, which he entrusted first to peter of cattaneo. upon peter's early death on 10 march, 1221, he appointed elias of cortona but retained a certain supreme direction of the order until his death on 3 october 1226. elias of cortona, as the vicar general of francis, summoned the regular pentecost chapter for the following year, and on 29 may 1227, parenti, was chosen as first successor of st. francis and first minister-general. he has often been regarded as a native of florence, but probably came from the neighborhood of rome. as minister general, parenti he gave the order not to accept apostates, and that no one should be professed without permission of the provincial minister. gregory ix employed the new general on political missions at florence and rome, and charged the franciscans with the direction and maintenance of the poor clares. in 1230, the friars gathered for the general chapter. there were also many people from the surrounding towns, as this was to coincide with the translation of francis' body from the church of st. george to the new basilica. it was then discovered that elias, with the cooperation of the secular authorities who were concerned about crowd control, had the body secretly interred some days previously, without notifying the minister general. the celebratory ceremonies went on after the fact. at the general chapter, elias, through his supporters, attempted to take charge of the order; but he was resisted by anthony of padua and a number of minister provincials. those who had disturbed the proceedings were subsequently scattered among the various provinces, and elias retired to a hermitage for a time. parenti and elias differed on their interpretation of the rule. parenti held a strictly literal view. a delegation was sent to rome to ask for clarification. the section in question was chapter iv, which "strictly enjoins on all the brothers that in no wise they receive coins or money, either themselves or through an interposed person." however, the ministers and custodes have to take the greatest care of their subjects through spiritual friends, according to places and times and other circumstances, saving always that, as has been said, they shall not "receive coins or money". in september 1230, gregory ix issued the bull "quo elongati". in it, the pope said that as he helped francis draft the rule, he understood the founder's intent. realizing that strict compliance with "holy poverty" was in many ways impractical for both adequate care off the aged and infirm friars, and those friars serving in convents in the towns, rather than in hermitages, gregory declared that the brothers may appoint a messenger (nuntius), who may receive money from benefactors and in the latter's name either spend it for the present needs of the friars, or confide it to a spiritual friend for imminent wants. the principle of absolute poverty is maintained for the individual friar and for the whole community; still the use of the necessary movable objects is granted them. parenti, under pressure to step down, resigned in 1232 at a chapter held in rieti, and elias became general minister. parenti retired to the vicariate of sardinia. according to the franciscan martyrology, he died in corsica in 1240. john the iberian (, "ioane"; died ) was a georgian monk, who is venerated as a saint. his name refers to the caucasian iberia and he is also known as john the georgian, john the hagiorite, and john iweron. a member of the georgian nobility, he was married and served as a military commander. however, he later became a monk in bithynia and then traveled to constantinople to rescue his son, euthymius the illuminator ("euthymius opplyseren"). euthymius had been held as a hostage by the emperor. john and his son attracted many followers, so they both retired to the monastery of saint athanasius on mount athos. they founded iviron monastery with the help of john’s brother-in-law, john thornikos, a retired general. john served as the first abbot of iviron. marcos sebastián aguirre (born march 30, 1984 in arroyito, córdoba) is an argentine football winger who plays for deportivo pasto in the categoría primera a. aguirre started his professional career in 2004 with club atlético lanús, gradually establishing himself as an important member of the first team. in 2007, he was part of the squad that won the "apertura" 2007 tournament, lanús' first ever top flight title. in january 2008, aguirre was loaned to real valladolid, being unsuccessful during a one 1/2 year stint, as he was mainly used as a substitute. he did, however, score on the last day of the 2008–09 season in a crucial relegation match away to real betis which ended 1–1, after having replaced injured pedro león. betis eventually relegated with that draw, but the castile and león outfit maintained its status. upon the end of his loan spell, aguirre returned to lanús in 2009. back in argentina, aguirre scored the first goal of the 2010–11 argentine primera división season in a 2–1 win over arsenal de sarandí. at the end of the semester, the winger was loaned again by lanús, this time to arsenal de sarandí. st. mark's episcopal cathedral located at 231 e. 100 south in salt lake city, utah is the cathedral church of the diocese of utah in the episcopal church in the united states of america. built in 1871, it is the third oldest episcopal cathedral in the united states and the second oldest continuously used worship building in utah. it was designed by architect, richard upjohn, in the gothic revival style. on september 22, 1970, it was added to the national register of historic places. the original cornerstone was laid in 1870 under the supervision of bishop daniel sylvester tuttle with funding from episcopalians in new york and pennsylvania. the cathedral was consecrated on may 14, 1874. a fire in 1935 gutted the sanctuary, but the church was rebuilt following the original design. the early episcopal church left its mark in the community such that by 1880, members of the church had established saint mark's school for boys, rowland hall school for girls, and saint mark's hospital. rowland hall / st. mark's school is now merged and offers education today for k–12. current outreach includes hildegarde's pantry, community of faith celebrations, community of hope, and feed my sheep programs. in addition the cathedral is often used for musical events and the cathedral hall has been used for many civic events over the years. in 2005 construction began on a new cathedral center that opened in early 2007. this space includes the dean's hall that provides a meeting and dining area for up to 300 people. there are also offices, meeting and other space that serve the cathedral and community that it reaches out to in many ways. philip r. day, jr.

resigned on july 23. on may 6, 2009, san francisco district attorney's investigators raided city college of san francisco on wednesday, seeking evidence that college officials had illegally spent public money on donations to education-related political campaigns. a copy of a search warrant served on the college shows that investigators are scrutinizing the actions of former chancellor philip

davis and tony wharmby and starred francesca annis and james warwick in the leading roles of wife and husband sleuths prudence 'tuppence' and tommy beresford. reece dinsdale co-starred as albert in all but two episodes. the series follows the adventures and exploits of the beresfords, who have recently taken over the running of a detective agency based in london. each episode features one of the stories from the book. among these are a quest for missing jewels, the investigation of poltergeists and a story involving poisoned chocolates. the series followed the short stories closely with two notable exceptions: first, the detective parodies, although alluded to on occasion, were for the most part dispensed with. secondly, the story arc of the blue russian letters and the search for the agent known as number 16 were also dispensed with. for this reason three chapters ("the adventure of the sinister stranger", "blindman's bluff" and "the man who was no. 16") were not adapted. the series' original run was immediately preceded by transmission on 9 october 1983 of the same production team's adaptation of christie's second novel "the secret adversary", which also starred annis and warwick in the same roles and which acted as an introduction for viewers to "agatha christie's partners in crime". the series ran for one season between 16 october 1983 and 14 january 1984 with ten episodes. it was poorly received at the time, but was later shown in the united states, where john tribe, the series graphic designer, won an award at the 1985 emmy awards for outstanding graphic and title design in recognition of the programme's title sequence. as of 2007, the series is regularly aired in the uk on the digital channel itv3. unavailable on dvd for a long period, it was released by acorn media uk on 2 september 2013. philip day may refer to: luke, patient provider is a 1916 american short comedy film starring harold lloyd. sarcasticgamer.com was an independent video gaming blog and community site that was relaunched as a podcast. as part of the gamercast network, a community of independent podcasters, the website focused on parodying the latest events happening in the gaming industry. although the website was best known for its satirical news articles and parodies, it also featured reviews, news, opinions and rants. all articles, however, stayed true to the "sarcastic" ethos of the site. sarcastic gamer was relaunched as a podcast-only website in december 2012 before closing its site in 2015. the site was founded by adams in early june 2007, the first sarcasticgamer.com article, written on 11 june 2007 after his first parody song, "how you killed your brand" (a parody of how to save a life by the fray) gained immense popularity on youtube. as the popularity of the parodies and, consequently, the website increased, adams needed to find reliable writers who could help him satisfy the growing demand for new material. the first to be approached was sean "rothbart" workman, a trusted gamercast network forums member, who agreed to start preparing new articles for sarcastic gamer. shortly thereafter, matt "volkov" schmidt offered his help with the blog. adrian "lono" cherikos, who had met with adams on xbox live a few months before sarcastic gamer was created, started writing for the site after his debut on the sarcastic gamer podcast on july 13, 2007. adams also recruited his friend david cothran, who stars on the podcast with him and helps him edit the podcasts. with the site traffic increasing daily towards the end of 2007, more writers were required, leading to the recruitment of alex "supaslick" shaw and anthony "yousty" youst in september, along with eric "pacmanpolarbear" ross, who joined the staff in october 2007. writer matthew "animathias" schramm and cartoonist tim "mightymutt" hibbs joined sarcastic gamer in early 2008. jon "yamster" brady and alex "raisehavok" saunders were recruited as writers and in june 2008 and ben "eoco" simmons joined the staff a month later. the same increases in traffic that necessitated the extra staff were the impetus behind the shifting of the site, in early 2008, from its original host service, blogger, to its present self-hosting state with wordpress. since the site is non-commercial, the staff rarely takes part in non-essential gaming events and gatherings. the first event the sarcastic gamer writers participated in was quakecon 2007, whilst the second one was kane and lynch community day. in july 2008, jeromy adams and david cothran were able to receive e3 passes and attended the gaming convention and have since attended quakecon in 2008, the penny arcade expo (pax) in 2008, "the godfather part ii" community day and the computer and electronics show (ces) in 2009. aside from conventions, jeromy adams and adrian cherikos were invited by microsoft in december 2007 to see the forthcoming device under development by the company, microsoft surface, thanks to the video parody of the device created by adams. on april 6, 2009, adrian "lono" cherikos announced his official departure from the red show and from his position as editor of the sarcasticgamer.com blog, following a dispute of creative differences between the co-owners of the website. following his departure, yamster and eoco replaced him in editorial positions and they selected six new writers under the pseudonyms of "dogsdieinhotcars", "o(ld)m(arried)g(amer)", "krelith", "shanghaisix", "pillowfort" and "monstar". even more new faces: "darkwonders", "esmeralda" and "lord drattigan" have joined the writing staff since then. starting with the penny arcade expo on september 4, 2009, cherikos resumed his writing and podcasting duties for sarcastic gamer, while continuing to support achievement hunter with his show, respawn radio with 8bitbass and knuckles dawson. respawn radio joined the sarcastic gamer network on march 3, 2010, after a dispute between knuckles dawson, a former cohost and lono. lono subsequently dropped knuckles from the show and moved it to sarcastic gamer, with keadin joining as the 3rd chair. on april 5, 2010, rothbart stepped down as community manager for sarcastic gamer, but he continues to do the playstation podcast. rothbart's role as community manager was replaced by site webmaster "regua". in early december, 2011, regular content publication ceased and issues with lono were cited as the cause. each writer then posted a "farewell article", followed by an official announcement that all current writers, with the exception of lono, intended to leave the site. podcasts are still being produced until a new home is found for them. in early 2012 the sg podcasters have officially announced that they have all moved to bigredbarrel.com. they have said that all the active podcasts from sg will be transferring and future content will be posted on the new site. on december 27, 2012, adrian "lono" cherikos announced on his twitter feed that sarcastic gamer had relaunched as a collaboration between him and founder jeromy "doc" adams. the inaugural podcast's new intro said that the podcast would be published "on a semi-regular basis". however, the site's relaunch has been limited to just the podcasts, as the message boards and articles no longer exist. as of 2016, nothing related to sarcasticgamer.com is active anymore. the first sarcastic gamer podcast episode was released on june 28, 2007 and was hosted by doc, dave and drew, who left sarcastic gamer after episode 6 of the podcast. as the podcast was gaining popularity, more people joined as the hosts; on july 13, 2007, the second show was released with lono, the new staff member, joining the trio. on august 24, 2007 sarcastic gamer joined the gamercast network, opening the show to a wider audience. on september 24, 2007, as the 9th episode was aired, alex shaw became a co-host. during the 30 minute show, the hosts discussed and argued about recent video gaming news in an entertaining and friendly way. there have been four longer specials, including episodes 10, 20 (each 45-minute long), 21 (60-minute long) and 100 (55-minutes). in addition, the crew tries to plan a live, special show for each convention they attend. the show was referred to as the "red show", because of the how the podcast is synonymous with the site's logo and its importance over the different sg podcasts. the show, besides the usual podcast content, featured "sarcastic gamer news updates" in which fake news published on the main site is read out by paul christy, assisted by pre-recorded clips of one of the hosts (usually adams) performing a role in the sketch. the "red show" unexpectedly ended after completing 80 episodes, when adrian "lono" cherikos left the red show due to feeling distant from the staff on the show and likely, some more undisclosed circumstances. following this, the other two remaining hosts retired the "red show," but still continued to produce podcasts for the website. the red show continued production on 4 september 2009 when doc and dave announced the cancellation of sarcastic gamer radio at the fox sports club in seattle, wa and the continuing of the original podcast with lono. on friday 5 february 2010, the red show officially reached its 100th episode. the show is frequently featured among itunes podcasts, highly reviewed and subscribed and updated almost every wednesday. on 20 september 2011, the red show officially ended their broadcast due to personal reasons. on december 27, 2012, adrian "lono" cherikos announced on his twitter feed that sarcastic gamer had relaunched as a collaboration between him and founder jeromy "doc" adams. the inaugural podcast's new intro said that the podcast would be published "on a semi-regular basis". part of sarcastic gamers effort to broaden its influence in gaming podcasts and playstation owner appeal, the playstation podcast was launched in may 2008, becoming the third show to be launched in the sarcastic gamer podcast lineup. about the same length as its predecessor (30-40 min), the so-called "blu show" is hosted by sean "rothbart" workman, eric "pacmanpolarbear" ross and joseph "frawlz" frawley. the podcast, released every friday, deals with matters relating to sony and its gaming range. as the show grew more popular and its hosts more seasoned, it grew to be notorious among the staff and listeners for greatly surpassing its self-imposed runtime of 30 minutes, low-brow humor of the male anatomy and idiosyncratic segments in the show. pacman is famous for his 'weees' to preface the gamercast network bumpers and referencing "crazy sony quotes" in shows. rothbart has become infamous for his biting humor, co-host deprecation and frawlz frequently mentions grotesque bodily functions and his "love" for playstation home. pacman and rothbart have criticized frawlz in jest for not playing games, just as frawlz and rothbart accused pacman of not owning playstation 3 until he connected it to the internet and having a thing for bbws. wagers among the staff of the podcast have also been prevalent. frawlz wagered to rothbart that the first six months of killzone 2 sales would outnumber the sales of littlebigplanet in its first six months. the loser was required to purchase a sumolounge omni for the winner, as sumolounge was a sponsor of sarcastic gamer at the time. the wager lasted until the summer of 2009, where rothbart was declared the winner, with lbp outselling kz2. on may 28, frawls announced the shipping of a green sumo and the first age of blu came to a conclusion. since leaving sarcastic gamer, the show relaunched under the banner of the blu show: the brb playstation podcast until its final episode in 2013. the show was proud to end its surprisingly long 200-episode run completely on its own terms. by all accounts, the show shouldn't have worked but when the show ended, it had consistently been rated in the top 3 playstation-centric podcasts on itunes for years. sg pink caters to female gamers. hosted by harlequin, jaxboxchick77 and lesley, the podcast covers issues relevant to games and gaming from a female point of view. launched in october 2008, it is typically released weekly on thursdays, slotting in before the sarcastic gamer playstation podcast and after the sarcastic gamer podcast/red. it is the fourth podcast to be an official sarcastic gamer production. harlequin left hosting duties for the show on 14 august 2009, leaving lesley and jax to elect a successor through a series of auditions and try-outs. these auditions resulted in harlequin's return to take up her regular role as the show's main host. as of 15 april 2010, esmeralda replaced lesley as a host on the show, bringing a youthful/re-energizing kick to the show's growing success. she helped integrate more hardcore gaming to the show as well as more ps3 news; something the show lacked before. harlequin stepped down from the show yet again on 16 april 2011, this time permanently. she remained the show's executive producer while quinstar took up her new role as an sg pink podcaster. the girls recorded their last episode on 17 july 2011, officially ending the show. the brown show, the sixth official sarcastic gamer podcast, began on november 23, 2009. the founder, doc adams, swapped the air dates of the red show and the then-hump-day update due to his busy real-life work schedule. the hump-day crew, now airing on monday, decided to drop the hump-day update title and continue on with "sarcastic gamer brown," and added a fourth chair, yoshifett, to the selection of co-hosts. this is currently the only sg podcast with 4 hosts. in this show, "live" discussions of gaming, pre-recorded parody songs and advice segments are aired. since leaving sarcastic gamer, the show has relaunched under the banner of big red barrel boom. respawn radio began on may 5, 2009 on achievementhunter.com, a sister site of roosterteeth.com. lono and 8bitbass hosted the show along with achievementhunter.com staffer/vlogger knuckles dawson. the podcast remained on achievementhunter.com until february 23, 2010 (episode 43) when the relationship between lono and knuckles dawson/roosterteeth broke down and lono moved the podcast to sarcasticgamer.com. lono and 8bitbass then hosted "sgrr" with a rotating third chair and pre-recorded updates from captainaverage. guest hosts for respawn radio have included brown show host dogsdie, pink show hosts harlequin and esmeralda, blu show host pacmanpolarbear and website graphic designer undeaddog. on january 29, 2011, the first show with guest host keadin aired and he became a permanent fixture until episode 93. at this time, lono refused to let 8bitbass release an episode lono had not shown up to record. after further arguments, both 8bitbass and keadin agreed to leave the show and formed the cgr podcast with former respawn radio host knuckles dawson. the first episode of the cgr podcast debuted on july 12, 2011. respawn radio returned with lono and 8bitbass on a semi regular basis until 2014 when they honored knuckles dawson after he passed in may 2014. there has been no shows since. if t is currently no longer in production. originally a sg community podcast known as 'on her majesty's sarcastic service', sguk began as an official sarcastic gamer podcast on october 27, 2010. sguk caters to the uk audience of sarcastic gamer - as many shows are us-centric and a considerable proportion of sarcastic gamer's audience originate from the uk, it was considered that it was only appropriate to offer a dedicated uk podcast in sarcastic gamer's lineup of shows. the show is currently hosted by captainaverage (originally of respawn radio), mightymutt and yamster and offers uk-focussed gaming news and discussion. the show consists of a number of regular segments - such as 'the great british debate' and 'motion control watch' - in addition to the usual coverage of gaming news whilst wearing leotards. sguk debuted at the #1 spot on the itunes uk video game podcast chart and has enjoyed consistently high chart rankings since its release. since leaving sarcastic gamer, the show has relaunched under the banner of the big red barrel uk podcast. the sarcastic gamer community podcast is not a podcast, but an initiative designed to give the members of the sarcastic gamer community (the forums) a chance to make their own podcast and have it featured on the site. anyone who is a member of the sgc can record their own podcast and submit the finished product to the site. it will then be added to the sgcp itunes feed, where it can be freely downloaded and listened to. the community podcast feed is operated by sarcastic gamer's community podcast coordinator 8bitbass and is updated as often as there are new shows. sarcastic gamer radio was the "replacement" for the then-retired red show. the first episode was released on monday, april 13, 2009 and was considered to be a "variety show" hosted by two people of the former red show cast, doc and dave. it was considered to be more of a "spiritual successor" because of its far departure from the structure of the red show. it featured community-oriented content such as "15 seconds of fame", as well as game discussions and sarcastic gamer news. the show was retired on september 4, 2009 with the announcement of the red show's return at the fox sports grill in seattle, wa. since january 23, 2008, the sarcastic gamer podcast became a twice weekly podcast. released on a wednesday, the "hump-day update" (or the orange show) was introduced to help the red show hosts deal with the weekly flood of gaming information. usually a 10-15 minute overview of the events taking place in the video game world, the so-called "orange show" was first hosted by the staff on the red show. any wednesday podcasts were put on hold indefinitely to coincide with the retirement of the red show and the departure of lono on 6 april 2009. doc and dave, however, pursued a replacement internally with the community. on june 24, 2009 the show was replaced with a new crew consisting of dogsdieinhotcars, smelly pirate and saint mantooth and revamped to be a 30-minute-long show, consisting of its own news and features. all of these members were the crew of former the panda watch community podcast. due to scheduling conflicts, the hump-day update switched days with the red show. because having a hump-day show coming out on a monday didn't make too much sense, they rechristened the show as the brown show. the brown show retained the previous hosts of the hump-day update along with the added host, yoshifett. although the long-term success sarcastic gamer has experienced is earned largely from podcasts, other features are on the site that generate traffic from a diverse audience as it is primarily a parody and satire site, sarcastic gamer's parody songs form an important part of its appeal. parodies include "how to kill a brand", "halo 3 hoedown", "hey mr. thompson", "this second life", "ring of fire", "playstation has no freaking games", "i hate this", "wii fat", "silence cliffy b" and "the price is too high", parodying various songs by the fray, plain white t's and johnny cash, among others. the notoriety from these parodies has amassed millions of views on youtube, hundreds of thousands of mp3 downloads and a featured video section on video game website ign. there are also video parodies, namely the microsoft surface, wii fit and wii music spoofs, which use original source videos with humorous voiceovers. they have been published on many other gaming, and non-gaming blogs and websites. the parodies were also aired on g4tv. this publicity has resulted in the parodies being downloaded and/or streamed more than 6 million times. most of them were written and sung by jeromy "doc" adams. fiction friday on sarcastic gamer is a weekly feature every friday when every article not tagged as "non-fiction" is fake. all important gaming related community news and events are covered (and often parodied) in the articles, as well as tagged as "fake news" or "fiction friday". throughout december 2007 and 2008, sarcastic gamer's staff posted a list of the hundred most important gaming moments of the year 2007, including game releases, important quotes, significant company merges and breakups and sarcasticgamer.com related events. the sarcastic gamer forum community forms an integral part of both the main site and the podcast. the competitions run by the site, while announced in the podcasts, can only be entered by registered users and only forum members can post and reply to threads. not only do the forum discussions concern the sarcastic gamer site, but the users often talk about other aspects of gaming as well as topics not connected with video games. currently, over 6,000 community members make up the sarcastic gamer community (sgc). currently, the forums are moderated by four dedicated forum moderators mike "ala douche" sutton, shane "86" uzell, & sam "deadpoolskye" wright, as well as select staff writers and podcasters. the forums and the main page are maintained by resident webmaster "regua". sarcastic gamer has released an app on the ios and android platforms. all previous episodes of every podcast are available to stream or download (although these downloaded episodes can only be played on the app) and also provide 'bonus content'. this content usually consists of an extra few minutes of the podcast and occasionally a wallpaper for the users mobile device. the app is currently priced at £1.79 in the uk and $2.99 in the us. a recent addition to the sg lineup, the weekly comic has fast become one of the most popular features of the site. the work of tim 'mightymutt' hibbs, it follows the (fictional) adventures of the staff, as well as some community members. launched on march 27, 2008, the comic primarily covers issues and events related to the sarcastic gamer community (sgc). a prominent example was the much hyped cod4 tournament against fellow gamercast network podcasters, gamertag radio. the artist-generated characters, known as "sarcastic smileys" or "avatars" have become an integral part of the sarcastic gamer community to the point where most users who receive one after mightymutt selects them, will use them as their avatar on the forums. besides conventions, special podcasts or special blog coverage, a few special, site-specific events have happened over sarcastic gamer's young history. from rallying up national coverage to fight video game publishers to gaining a following in the fight against pediatric cancer, sarcastic gamer has experienced polarizing, moving events since its founding. after ea decided to make certain weapons exclusive content to players who paid extra with the release of and announced their decision to do so with , sarcastic gamer urged fans and readers to boycott the game's release and cancel their preorders. many websites from around the world got involved in or mentioned the boycott making it very popular among gamers and eventually reaching ign which contacted electronic arts, the publisher of the game, causing it to finally cease the idea of paid weapons. as a result of this, on april 9, 2008, sarcastic gamer announced that the goal of the boycott had been achieved and that the boycott was lifted. a major event on the sarcastic gamer calendar, the first birthday of the site was celebrated around the world on saturday, 14 june, with parties planned in various american cities - namely chicago, il, houston, tx, new york, ny, los angeles - as well as london, united kingdom and ottawa, ontario, canada. there also were online celebrations held on xbox live and the playstation network. a charity effort to raise money for pediatric cancer, extra life was launched in 2008 by the owners of sarcastic gamer. over 1600 participants played video games for 24 hours on october 16. the participants collected money from their sponsors who gave money per each hour played. generally, some sponsors paid one dollar per hour, effectively donating 24 dollars. the average was approximately $3/hr. all of the money went to the texas children's cancer center. extra life raised $115,000 in 2008. extra life 2009 was quite successful, with sarcastic gamer and all other participating communities raising over $170,000. extra life 2010 was sarcastic gamer's biggest success till 2011, with everyone helping to raise over $451,000. extra life has also expanded to help local children hospitals, all around the world, with more than just pediatric cancer research. extra life 2011 more than doubled the 2010 total to raise $1.1 million for 175 children's hospitals around the world. the event was played simultaneously on every continent except antarctica. thomas earl gardner (born february 8, 1985) is an american

ireland. it lies in the valley of the little brosna river less than one kilometer off the n62 national secondary road. brosna is deceptive in appearance; the main road through the village is home to families that have been here for several generations. farming families and a thriving plumbing business operate in and around the hamlet. like all rural areas in ireland, brosna has some neglected old houses, but residents manage to give the place a pretty look with the use of hanging baskets and planted flowers on the bank of the stream that flows through it. at the top of the village a bench awaits walkers or conker collectors in need of a rest or a chat if the day is kind. brosna house, an early 19th-century two-storey house located at the roadside, is listed as being of architectural interest. a late 19th-century water pump of cast iron stands in the village. it is listed as being of artistic, social and technical interest. segbwema is a town in kailahun district in the eastern province of sierra leone. the town is a major business and agricultural centre. segbwema lies approximately 20 miles northeast of kenema and about 225 miles south-east of freetown (further by road). the population of segbwema was 7,961 in the 2004 census with a current estimate of 16,532 . the population of segbwema is ethnically diverse, though the mende people make up the majority of the population. segbwema is home to the nixon memorial hospital , one of the main hospitals in kailahun district. the hospital serves segbwema and its surrounding areas segbwema is a hilly town that is divided roughly in two by the small river nyeya, which is a tributary of the maleh river. the town belongs to and is the headquarters of njaluahun chiefdom, a major chiefdom nestled between the moa and maleh rivers. njaluahun is bounded by the eastern chiefdoms of nongowa, jawei and kpeje. most of the population of segbwema belong to the mende ethnic group who are the predominant tribal group in eastern sierra leone. the mende population of segbwema are mainly concentrated in the taima, pendembulo, kabalahun, manina, sosso town, largo square and nyekehun sections of the town. madingo and fula pupulation represent the other main ethnic groups and they are mostly located in konotown, which is arguably the largest section of segbwema. the town's temne population are mainly located in sosso town and kono town. the limba population of segbwema are located at the four main entrances to segbwema; largo square, kabalahun, sosso town and the segbwma-daru road. segbwema also has ethnic hausa, konyanka and krio populations. the reason for the multi-ethnic nature of segbwema is that it was a major trading center and railway station during the heyday of the sierra leone railway as it was the last major rail town in the eastern province. segbwema also had the best health care center in the eastern province, the nixon memorial methodist hospital. many people came to work at nixon and made the town home. the various ethnic groups have existed in the town for decades without any significant problems. segbwema, though it is a rural town, has a truly metropolitan feel as all the various groups have a strong sense of community and citizenship. everybody participates without fear in the internal politics of the town and intermarriages has also strengthened tribal affiliations. one major reason for this close-knit multi-ethnicity is that everybody in segbwema speaks mende and almost all speak krio. in essence there is no communication problem among the different communities. segbwema is also unique in that every ethnic group is allowed to serve in the administration of the town, either as chiefs or as tribal authorities. as most of the major towns in rural sierra leone, segbwema was heavily destroyed during the civil war. most of the developments we were proud of: our secondary schools, wesley and holy ghost, our police station and police barracks, the nixon memorial hospital, the nixon nursing schools, the standard bank and many other landmarks were burnt down by rebels of the ruf. sierra leone has another, smaller town of the same name in the southern province.

it ran from the river nene at wisbech to the well creek at outwell in norfolk, which gave access to the river great ouse. it was abandoned in 1926 and filled in during the 1970s. the canal was planned as a means to improve the status of wisbech as a trading centre. following correspondence between the hon and revd charles lindsay, who later became chairman of the company, and lord hardwicke, on the potential benefits of the scheme, an engineer called john watte was asked to prepare a survey and estimated costs. these were to be presented at a public meeting on 30 october 1792, but the meeting was swamped by speculators and traders from places as far away as derby, leicester, uppingham, huntingdon and bedford. some difficulty was experienced in maintaining control, but the local people succeeded in doing so, although the initial committee consisted of equal numbers of ""strangers and people at home"". a petition was presented to parliament on behalf of the burgesses of wisbech in early 1794, and the canal was authorised by an act of parliament (wisbech canal act 1794, 34 george iii. cap. 92) which was granted on 9 may 1794. this act formed "the wisbech canal company", which had powers to raise £14,000, with an option to raise an additional £6,000 if required. this was to be used to construct the canal which ran from a junction with the river nene at wisbech, to a junction with the well creek and the old river nene at outwell. the well creek connects to the great ouse. in addition, the company had powers to maintain and improve the river from outwell church to salter's lode sluice on the old river nene. all traffic passing between the canal and the nene river was required to pay a toll, which was to be used to maintain the well creek. because of the low level of the fens landscape, the canal was constructed on embankments for most of its 5.25 mile (8.4 km) length, and was opened in 1797. flood locks were constructed at both ends of the canal. the one at outwell was long, but the one at wisbech was only , and so longer boats wishing to enter or leave the canal at the wisbech end had to wait for the levels in the river and the canal to equalise, at which point both sets of gates could be opened. the canal did not have its own water supply, but was refilled when the water level in the nene at wisbech was high enough. this was normally only at spring tides, and so the water level often ran low in the period before the next spring tide was due. in 1883, the wisbech and upwell tramway opened, running from wisbech to outwell and following a route along the course of the canal. it was extended to upwell in 1884. initially, there was some benefit to the canal, as coal was transported by the railway to outwell, and loaded into boats by chutes. however, the railways steadily took the trade, and in 1914, the tolls collected only amounted to £56. all traffic ceased in 1922, and the canal was formally abandoned on 14 june 1926, when a warrant for its closure was obtained from the minister of transport. the canal remained in a derelict state until the early 1960s, when the wisbech end was filled in to allow the a1101 churchill road link to be built without destroying the historic town centre. much of the rest of the canal was used as a landfill site, and consequently any development within 270 yd (250m) of the former line of the canal requires special consent from cambridgeshire county council's waste management services department. meai (5-methoxy-2-aminoindane or 5-meo-ai or chaperon) is a recreational drug and binge-drinking prevention drug, first chemically described in 1980, and first pharmacologically described in a peer reviewed paper in 2017 by david nutt et al., followed by another in february 2018 which detailed pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and metabolism of meai. in 2018, a company in the united states began offering an meai-based drink called "pace". meai was an early candidate of alcohol replacement drugs that came to market during a late 2010s movement to replace alcohol with less-toxic alternatives spearheaded by british psychopharmacologist david nutt. though meai was made commercially available online in the united states as "pace", nutt's commercial efforts moved away from direct marketing of meai in favor of alcarelle. scg2, also called secretogranin ii (chromogranin c), is a protein which in humans is encoded by the "scg2" gene. the protein encoded by this gene is a member of the chromogranin/secretogranin family of neuroendocrine secretory proteins. studies in rodents suggest that the full-length protein, secretogranin ii, is involved in the packaging or sorting of peptide hormones and neuropeptides into secretory vesicles. the full-length protein is cleaved to produce the active peptide secretoneurin, which exerts chemotaxic effects on specific cell types, and em66, whose function is unknown. gordon w. richards (7 september 1930 – 29 september 1998) was a british racehorse trainer specialising mainly in national hunt racing. he trained two winners of the grand national with lucius in 1978 and hallo dandy in 1984. he was born in bath, somerset and was apprenticed as a flat jockey to jack waugh. his middle initial, w., was allegedly inserted in his name by an official at salisbury racecourse at the start of his career to differentiate him from the champion flat jockey sir gordon richards. the w. was apparently taken from waugh's surname. becoming too heavy for the flat, he rode as a national hunt jockey for ivor anthony and johnny marshall; his career as a jockey was ended by a fall at perth racecourse in which he broke his back. in 1964 he took out a licence to train, initially at beadnell, northumberland before moving to greystoke castle stables near penrith in cumbria in 1968. he subsequently moved to a new purpose-built stables at greystoke village in 1988. as well as his two grand national winners he gained major successes with one man, dual winner of the king george vi chase and winner of the queen mother champion chase, and titus oates, also a king george vi chase winner. on timeform ratings, one man was the best chaser richards ever trained. he was an exciting horse who visually traveled with ease throughout his races. he won the king george vi chase twice, and the queen mother champion chase. he had two attempts to win the cheltenham gold cup,finishing out of the frame both times, in 1996 (when starting the 11/8 favourite), and 1997. on both occasions he weakened in the later stages of the race. richards also trained the future, dual champion hurdle winner, sea pigeon, when the horse began his hurdling career. but owner pat muldoon transferred the animal to the great habton yard of peter easterby, where he won two chester cups and an ebor handicap, as well as the 1980 and 1981 runnings of the champion hurdle . richards will also be remembered for training the fearless, front-running two-mile chaser, noddy's ryde. the horse was only in his second season over fences when he was killed in action at devon and exeter in october 1984. he had been beaten narrowly in the arkle challenge trophy at the cheltenham festival in the spring of that year, after dueling from a long way out with the eventual winner, bobsline. the race was considered one of the most exciting of the time. the most supportive patron of the yard was the edinburgh woollen mill, later becoming ashleybank investments. richards trained many good horses for these owners. they commonly named their animals using 'tartan' as the first word in the name. one of them, tartan tailor,won the supreme novices' hurdle at the cheltenham festival. he died from cancer in carlisle, cumbria and was succeeded as trainer at greystoke by his son, nicky richards. wktt (97.5 fm, "live 97.5") is a radio station licensed to serve salisbury, maryland, united states. the station, which began broadcasting in 1969,

"e13" was capable of operating submerged for five hours when travelling at . as with most of the early "e" class boats, "e13" was not fitted with a deck gun during construction, but one was mounted later. she had five 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes: two in the bow, one either side amidships, and one in the stern; a total of 10 torpedoes were carried. e-class submarines had wireless systems with power ratings; in some submarines, these were later upgraded to systems by removing a midship torpedo tube. their maximum design depth was although in service some reached depths of below . some submarines contained fessenden oscillator systems. her complement was three officers and 28 men. hms "e13" had a relatively short career during world war i. on 14 august 1915, she was despatched from harwich, accompanied by her sister vessel hms "e8". the two submarines had orders to sail to the baltic sea to interdict german shipping, particularly vessels carrying iron ore shipments from sweden. at around 01:00 on 18 august 1915, the submarine ran aground in shallow water near saltholm island in the øresund between malmö and copenhagen, because of a defective gyrocompass. at dawn she became clearly visible. at 05:00 the royal danish navy torpedo boat "narhvalen" appeared on the scene and hailed the "e13's" commander, lt cdr geoffrey layton, informing him that he had 24 hours to refloat his vessel and leave before he and his crew would be interned for violating denmark's neutrality. the "e13's" crew sought to lighten the submarine by pumping out tanks and discharging fuel, but she had grounded in only of water and would not move. layton realised that he would not be able to refloat the "e13" before the deadline passed and sent his first lieutenant ashore to arrange a tow or, if this was impracticable, to negotiate terms for internment. he was unable to contact the admiralty for assistance, as the germans were jamming radio frequencies. at 10:28 the german torpedo boat "g132" arrived but withdrew when the danish torpedo boats "støren" and "søulven" approached. a third danish torpedo boat, the "tumleren", arrived shortly afterwards. meanwhile, the commander of the "g132", oberleutnant zur see paul graf von montgelas, had informed rear admiral robert mischke by radio about the "e13's" grounding. german naval operations against the russian-held city of riga were at a critical stage and mischke felt that he could not afford to let the "e13" pass into the baltic, where it could threaten the german offensive in the gulf of riga. he ordered "g132" and another torpedo boat to destroy the submarine. the two vessels returned to saltholm and opened fire on the "e13" with torpedoes, machine-guns and shell fire from a range of 300 yards. the submarine was hit repeatedly and set on fire. seeing this, lt cdr layton ordered the submarine to be abandoned, but the firing continued while his men were in the water. the engagement ended when the danish torpedo boat "søulven" placed herself between the submarine and the two german ships, which withdrew. fourteen of the "e13's" crew were killed in the attack and one was missing, presumed killed. the "e13's" fifteen surviving crew members were interned at the copenhagen navy yard by the danes for the rest of the war. layton refused to give his parole and eventually escaped along with his first officer, returning to england to continue the war. he went on to have a distinguished career and commanded the british eastern fleet during the second world war. the danish government fitted out the mail steamer "vidar" as a temporary chapel to transport the bodies of the casualties back to hull, accompanied by the danish torpedo boats "springeren" and "støren". notwithstanding denmark's neutrality, the dead british sailors were given full honours when their bodies were brought ashore, as a contemporary report described: the incident caused outrage in britain and denmark, since it was clearly a serious breach of international law. the danish newspaper "national tidende" published an indignant leading article protesting at the germans' violation of danish neutrality. "politiken" reported that the danish government had protested to germany, pointing out that the "e13" had not been destroyed in any kind of pursuit but while she was lying damaged on neutral territory. the london "times" fulminated in a leading article that "the unjustifiable slaughter of the men of the "e13" is one more notch in the long score we have to settle with the homicidal brood of prussia." the german government subsequently apologised to denmark, stating that "instructions previously given to commanders of german vessels to respect neutrality have once more been impressed upon them." although the "e13" was refloated by the danes and towed to copenhagen, she was so badly damaged by the german attack that her repair was not viable. on 6 february 1919, she was sold by the british government to a danish company for 150,000 danish kroner (about £8,330 at 1919 prices). on 14 december 1921, she was resold for scrap. stage door witchdoctors was, until 2008, chants r&b's only full length album. released in 2000, it is a compilation of live performances and studio singles. most of the tracks were later included on "chants r&b", a vinyl album on norton (2008), along with some tracks not included on "stage door witchdoctors". karla quinn (born 15 september 1988 in rasharkin, county antrim, northern ireland) is a british figure skater. she has been crowned as

nonprofit organization headquartered in bala cynwyd, just outside philadelphia, pennsylvania in the united states. lbbc works with women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and their caregivers throughout their experience of diagnosis, treatment and recovery. their goal to be a "high-touch organization" that provides people with information and support of relevance to their personal experience of breast cancer. the organization supports studies of health care that are sensitive to issues of ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, and diagnosis. living beyond breast cancer was founded in 1991 by radiation oncologist marisa weiss. she is a past president of the organization. early on, weiss ran the organization from her house, with the help of volunteers. the organization's first executive director, jean a. sachs was appointed in 1996. she became ceo of the organization in 2008. under her direction, the organization's budget and staffing have substantially expanded from an initial budget of $100,000 per year to more than $5 million per year as of 2014. with a staff of 18 as of 2015, and a large volunteer base who donate time and expertise, lbbc reaches out to more than 70,000 people in need of information and support each year. they provide a wide range of programs and services. the organization's website (lbbc.org) offers comprehensive educational information. information is kept up-to-date through the work of a national medical advisory board with sixty representatives. the organization also operates a breast cancer helpline (1-888-753-5222). volunteers in the organization's outreach program are often former patients themselves. a small number of cis b. golder quality of life grants are awarded to provide financial assistance and support services to people diagnosed with breast cancer in the philadelphia area. lbbc has actively supported studies of the experience of cancer in ethnic and racial minority groups and the development of materials for their use. publications include "getting connected: african-americans living beyond breast cancer" by patricia k. bradley and "celebramos el mañana: latinas que sobreviven el cáncer del seno / we celebrate tomorrow: latinas living beyond breast cancer" by aracely rosales. lbbc has also published "breast cancer in focus: getting the care you need as a lesbian, gay or bisexual person" (2015). it is particularly important for lgbt women to be aware of possible issues, both because lesbians have a higher risk of breast cancer, and because lgbt individuals and families may face discrimination. lbbc works with populations of young women. they have received funding from the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) to support needs assessment and outreach in this area. they have partnered with the young survival coalition in organizing events such as "c4yw" (formerly the "conference for young women affected by breast cancer"). the organization is a member of the metastatic breast cancer alliance, and organizes annual conferences specifically for mbc patients and their caregivers. in 2005, lbbc secured funding for the "silent voices: advanced (metastatic) breast cancer needs assessment survey" (2006), an important first step in identifying concerns specific to women with stage iv breast cancer. in 2013-2014, lbbc carried out the first needs assessment of women diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (tnbc). approximately 10-20 percent of breast cancers are triple-negative, with a higher prevalence (30%) among african-american women. young hispanic women, premenopausal women, and women who test positive for the brca1 gene mutation, also have a higher prevalence of tnbc diagnosis. the study found that tnbc-diagnosed women had a greater interest in finding diagnosis-specific resources. it also found a greater degree of fear, anxiety, and worry among tnbc women than among those with other cancer diagnoses. lbbc has collaborated with photographer jean karotkin, to develop an online exhibition expanding on her book of photographs of cancer survivors, "body & soul" (2004). the book sought to "celebrate and chronicle the beauty, power and spirit of women affected by breast cancer." lbbc has created a digital archive where karotkin's portraits, and stories of the women she photographed, will be accessible to people from around the world. a signature fundraising event for living beyond breast cancer is its outdoor yoga event, held the third sunday in may. yoga was chosen as the focus of the event because of medical research suggesting that yoga has a positive effect on the quality of life of cancer patients. the event involves a one-hour yoga class held at the philadelphia museum of art. this is followed by breakfast and a health and fitness information expo for participants and supporters, featuring a variety of nonprofits and service organizations. it was first organized in 2002 by jean sachs and yoga instructor jennifer schelter. in 2002, 100 attendees met in the rain. in 2015, the program attracted over 2,300 attendees in philadelphia, as well as participants in other cities including washington, d.c., kansas city, denver and fort myers. known variously as "yoga unites for living beyond breast cancer", "yoga 4 living beyond breast cancer;", and "yoga on the steps", the event was renamed "reach & raise" for 2016. in support of the event, the city of philadelphia has declared may 16, 2010, may 15, 2011 and other dates as "living beyond breast cancer day" in philadelphia. another regular fundraising event is the annual butterfly ball, during national breast cancer awareness month. a variety of researchers, health care providers and volunteers have been honored at the event. recent honorees include researcher patricia k. bradley, diagnostic radiologist debbi copit, and cancer awareness advocate tyesha k. love. in 2005, lbbc partnered with goody in "comfort meets cause," to expand public awareness about breast cancer and raise funds for breast cancer education. goody sold special pink goody hairbrushes, donating four percent of the proceeds to lbbc. celebrities including salma hayek, kim cattrall and kelly ripa autographed hairbrushes for sale at auction, all proceeds of which were donated to lbbc. since 2005, lbbc has been in receipt of charity navigator's highest overall rating of four stars. lbbc has consistently received charity navigator's highest 4-star ratings for sound fiscal management ("financial rating", since 2005) and accountability and transparency (since 2012). jean sachs was named "breast cancer national leader of the year" for 2014 by "breast cancer wellness magazine" in recognition of her work with lbbc. lbbc has received national recognition for the quality of its educational programs. "getting connected" won an award for excellence in patient education materials from the american academy of family physicians. leilani reklai (born december 27, 1966) is a palauan politician and businesswoman. she has served as the chairperson of the board of directors of the palau national communications corporation. leilani reklai was tentatively elected the governor of the state of aimeliik in the state elections of november 13, 2007. early results showed reklai leading her opponent (and cousin), abina etpison, by just 35 votes. reklai had 218 votes while etpison, a palauan legislator, had 183 votes. a total of 468 were cast in the aimeliik election. 58 absentee ballots were still to be counted to determine the winner. leilani reklai became the first female governor of aimeliik and only the third female governor in palau's history. palau's other two women governors were governor vicky kanai of airai state and governor akiko sugiyama of ngardmau. august von froriep (10 september 1849 – 11 october 1917) was a german anatomist born in weimar. he studied medicine in leipzig, and after earning his doctorate in 1874, he became an assistant to christian wilhelm braune (1831–1892). later he was a prosector and eventually a professor at the university of tübingen. following his death in 1917, he was succeeded by martin heidenhain (1864–1949) as professor of anatomy at tübingen. he was the son of anatomist and publisher robert friedrich froriep (1804–1861). froriep specialized in studies involving the development and biological morphology of the head and vertebra. his name is lent to "froriep's ganglion", which is a temporary group of nerve cells associated with the hypoglossal nerve of an embryo. in 1911, froriep claimed to have identified the "famous skull" of poet friedrich von schiller from a mass gravesite, of which he published an article titled "die schädel friedrich von schillers und des dichters begräbnisstätte". however, there are detractors to froriep's claim, and as of late 2007 the authenticity of the skull remains unproven. jason dair (born 15 june 1974) is a scottish football coach and former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and is currently a first team coach at dunfermline athletic. dair had a spell as caretaker manager at cowdenbeath, after former manager colin nish was sacked in may 2016. dair also managed east of scotland team dundonald bluebell before taking up a coaching role at the pars. dair, who was born in dunfermline, began his career in 1991 with local fife team raith rovers. a first division winner in 1992–93, dair suffered relegation in raith's first season in the premier division. months into raith's season back in the first division, dair was part of the side that beat celtic to win the league cup, ensuring uefa cup football for the following season. buoyed by the cup success, raith won the title on the last day of the season and were promoted again at the first attempt. dair scored raith's first ever european goal, netting from close range against faroese team gí gøta and raith won through the first two rounds to face bayern munich, losing 4–1 on aggregate. unfortunately, raith suffered domestic relegation again and when manager jimmy nicholl left in february 1996 to join millwall, dair – along with stevie crawford and david sinclair – went with him. dair's time in london was brief and he returned to stark's park within eighteen months. with no trophies during his second spell in kirkcaldy, dair moved on in february 1999 to rovers' rivals dunfermline, where he would go on to spend four years. following notice that he was transfer listed along with several other players, dair was released from east end park in september 2003, although he quickly moved to motherwell. dair joined livingston on a one-year contract at the start of the 2004–05 season, extending his stay by a second year in june 2005. upon his contract expiry, he was released by livi and made a brief return to stark's park in september 2006 when he played 72 minutes for raith as a trialist against alloa. the following week, he moved to east fife, where he went on to play nine times during the season. dair took up a coaching role at east fife and replaced scott crabbe as assistant manager prior to the 2010/11 season. he was appointed manager of junior club oakley united in may 2012 however he resigned from this position in may 2014. in december 2015, dair was appointed assistant manager to colin nish at scottish league one side cowdenbeath, the two having previously played together whilst at dunfermline athletic. with nish being sacked following cowdenbeath's relegation to scottish league two, dair was appointed caretaker manager pending the appointment of a new manager. after liam fox was appointed head coach, dair left the blue brazil at the start of the 2016–17 season. in june 2019, dair left his position as manager of dundonald bluebell to return to former club dunfermline athletic with former teammate stevie crawford as manager. dair took up the role of first team coach having previously been crawford's assistant at east fife. he is the nephew of legendary rangers wing half jim baxter. thomas of eccleston was a thirteenth-century english franciscan chronicler. he is known for "de adventu fratrum minorum in angliam". it runs from 1224, when franciscan friars first came to england, under agnellus of pisa, to about 1258. he styles himself simply "brother thomas" and john bale seems to have first given him the title "of eccleston". he entered the order of friars minor in about 1232 or 1233 and was not a student at oxford between 1230 and 1240. after 1240, he was at the london monastery, though he held no office there.
the "de adventu" is a collection of notes rather than a finished work. incidentally it throws some light on the trend of early franciscan events and thought in general. for a period of twenty-six years, eccleston was busy collecting material for his chronicle, which he based on personal knowledge, interviews, and documents no longer extant. he described the “heroic period” of the franciscan movement in england. his chronicle lacks dates, is weak on chronological presentation, and gives preference to england, but is considered accurate and reliable in the content related to the friars minor in england. though the original manuscript has been lost, there are four manuscripts of the “de adventu” which are known to scholars. the chronicle was edited in the nineteenth century by j. s. brewer in the “monumenta fraciscana” (1858), by r. howlett (1882), by the friar minors at quaracchi (1885), and by felix lieberman in the “monumenta germaniae” (1885). a critical edition is lacking. father cuthbert, o.s.f.c., translated the work into english in 1903 under the title "the friars and how they came to england," and e. gurney salter rendered it in english in 1926 with the title "the coming of the friars minor to england and germany." whatcha gonna do? may refer to: von duprin is a brand of security products. it was the producer of the first "panic bar" style door mechanism that allows a door to a public building to be locked from the outside but still easy to exit from the inside. in 1903 the iroquois theatre fire in chicago claimed the lives of almost 600 people. carl prinzler was supposed to attend a show at the theatre that fateful day, however, other business dealings called him elsewhere. in this era, it was common for theatres and the like to lock interior and exterior doors to prevent non-paying persons from entering. this also inhibited persons on the inside from exiting. this was the case during the iroquois theatre fire. all doors were locked and/or bolted which prevented patrons from exiting, causing most to be burned alive or succumb to smoke inhalation. prinzler was astounded at the enormous and senseless loss of life that night. he sought a way for doors into public facilities to be locked from the outside, but to allow egress from the inside with minimal effort during an emergency. prinzler tapped into the architectural engineering abilities of henry h. dupont to develop a product. in 1908 the first model of a "panic bar" style egress device was released and vonnegut hardware company was utilized to market it. owing to the joint effort to develop and sell the product, it was sold under the name von duprin, a combination of the names vonnegut, dupont and prinzler. the popular 88 series crossbar exit devices still manufactured by von duprin look similar to the original design, although significant engineering changes have been made. von duprin continues to manufacture security related products and is a brand of allegion plc. the true russian orthodox church () was an independent russian orthodox-like doomsday cult founded by pyotr kuznetsov. the self-name of the group was "heavenly jerusalem" (). this group broke away from the russian orthodox church, considering it insufficiently orthodox. its members were not allowed to eat processed food, watch television and handle money. they rejected bar codes, national identification number and passports because they contained satanic symbols ("the number of the beast"). in november 2007, between 29-35 members of the group holed themselves up in a cave in russia's penza region, near the village nikolskoye, threatening mass suicide if authorities tried to intervene. kuznetsov had told them to hide themselves away to await the end of the world, which he predicted would take place in may 2008. kuznetsov himself was not with the group, but had been placed under police arrest. on march 28, 2008, seven women who had holed up in a cave for months were being treated by emergency workers, regional officials said. three days later 14 members emerged from the cave after melting snow caused part of the cave to collapse. on april 3, 2008 kuznetsov was taken to a hospital where "officials said that he may have attempted suicide after realising his prediction had been wrong." in subsequent years, he was in a psychiatric ward with a diagnosis of paranoia. in 2016, the court once again extended the period of his compulsory treatment at the request of the chief of the regional psychiatric clinic. on may 16, 2008 the last nine members of the cult emerged from the bunker due to the toxic fumes produced by two cult members who had died over winter. on may 21, after removing the bodies of the dead, the cave was blown up. officially, it was done because of its danger to local population and curious visitors. after leaving the cave, most of the sect members left the village, except for one family. several people moved to a deaf village in belarus. vasily nedogon, head of the family remaining in nikolskoye, in 2012 continued to live with his wife and three children without electricity and passports; he still waited that the end time will come soon. the swift boat challenge from oklahoma oilman t. boone pickens was his reported offer of $1 million to anyone who can disprove even a single charge made by the swift vets and pows for truth, formerly the swift boat veterans for truth, during the presidential election campaign. pickens, who had given the group $3 million in funding during the campaign, issued the challenge on november 6, 2007 in washington, d.c., while serving as chairman of a 40th anniversary gala for "the american spectator" magazine. on november 16, 2007 u.s. senator john kerry, whose military service was a target of the groups's televised ads, book, and media releases and appearances, wrote a letter to pickens accepting pickens' offer as reported. kerry asked mr. pickens to donate the $1 million to the paralyzed veterans of america should he succeed in proving any of the charges untrue. that same day, pickens issued a response, saying he was "open" to kerry's suggestion but stated that the offer applied only to the group's television ads. he additionally required kerry to provide his vietnam journal, his military records, specifically those for the years 1971-1978, and copies of all movies and tapes made during his service. pickens' letter also challenged kerry to agree to donate $1 million to the congressional medal of honor foundation, if kerry "cannot prove anything in the swift boat ads to be untrue." on november 20, 2007 kerry issued a letter responding to pickens'. he accused pickens of "parsing and backtracking" on his initial offer and wrote that "i am prepared to prove the lie and marshal all the evidence, the question is whether you are prepared to fulfill your obligation." he concluded that "the only thing remaining now is to set the date for our meeting in an appropriate forum." on june 22, 2008, a group of vietnam veterans accepted the challenge and sent a 12-page letter with a 42-page attachment of military records to support their case that rebutted several of the accusations of the swift boat group. pickens responded with a message stating "in reviewing your material, none of the information you provide speaks specifically to the issues contained in the ads, and, as a result, does not qualify for the $1 million." tenimyu: the prince of tennis musical series (as takeshi momoshiro) rock musicals bleach (as renji abarai) the 20th

were a rugby league side based in ammanford, south-west wales. "west wales sharks" were formed in the spring of 2006 and joined the rugby league conference welsh division west. the sharks played eight games and there were heavy losses in the matches against bridgend blue bulls but they ended their season with two wins against aberavon fighting irish and swansea valley miners. in 2007, the sharks moved to furnace united rfc to play their home fixtures. the club played in the rugby league conference welsh premier division playing seven rounds from may to july. in the first match they lost to the valley cougars 12-74 but then won their next match 33-32 against the cardiff demons. but they then lost their remaining five matches including a tight 34-30 loss against torfaen tigers. just one win meant that they had finished bottom of the league. following interest shown by prospective junior sides at the letter stages of the 2007 season, the sharks established junior sides dinefwr junior shark and swansea east junior sharks. in 2009 the club, with a new voluntary board and a relocation to tycroes rfc, changed their name to "dinefwr sharks" as this would be more relevant to their new playing location. the club made it to the final of the welsh plate but lost to newport titans. cpc bears rl was formed in 2010, as the regional side for carmarthenshire, pembrokeshire and ceredigion in the welsh premier division with dinefwr sharks competing in the south wales championship. the south wales championship was given a re-structure following dinefwr sharks and three other west wales clubs not fulfilling fixtures. they were replaced

carniola area of southeastern slovenia, close to the border with croatia on the lahinja river. it is now included in the southeast slovenia statistical region. the village is best known for well-preserved gradac castle. gradac has a railway station, a post office, bars and cafes, and a small industrial park. traditionally many craftspeople (stonemasons, locksmiths, wainwrights, wheelwrights, and potters) and farmers lived in the village. it also has an outdoor sports field for handball, basketball, and soccer. it is located next to the new fire station, which was built in the 1980s. a small airport, mainly for gliders and light aircraft, is located in nearby prilozje. this airfield was originally built in world war ii in order to allow allied aircraft to land to evacuate wounded soldiers and civilians and to deliver other humanitarian aid such as medicine. gradac castle is castle with a moat and located on a curve of the lahinja river. it has been declared a national cultural heritage landmark of slovenia. gradac castle was first mentioned in written documents in 1228. the castle island is mostly covered by a large renaissance park that is neglected and overgrown. it includes a garden, remnants of an alley, and the mausoleum of the last owner (named gusič), who was a businessman from zagreb. there are plans to restore the castle and renew the park. the municipality of metlika repaired the roof of the castle to prevent further decay at end of the 1990s. however, talks with potential investors from italy and ireland have been unsuccessful. public discussion about the future of the castle intensified again in 2006. this happened when the slovenian regional development program for southeast slovenia was discussed and right before the regional elections. since the summer of 2006, locals have begun a relatively successful campaign to inform the slovenian public about the neglected castle and the potential for it to serve as a hotel in order to develop tourism in this region. following local initiatives, the metlika municipal authorities and the ministry of culture in ljubljana became more actively involved. there are plans to set up a hotel in the castle. in march 2009, mp renata brunskole, who was also mayor of metlika, asked minister of culture majda širca about government plans for the castle. although the minister's response was not encouraging, the ministry of internal affairs included the castle in the project "invest in slovene tourism". on 18 june 1944 the slovenian red cross was founded in gradac. a military school for partisan officers was located in the castle during world war ii between 1944 and 1945. gradac was bombed on the afternoon of january 30, 1945. apparently german intelligence found out that a large number of wounded waited in the village for evacuation through the nearby partisan airports of otok or krasinec. at 4 pm on that day, six or seven german aircraft dropped bombs on the center of gradac. five people were killed and eight wounded. the new bridge over the lahinja, two buildings, and the saw were completely destroyed. fourteen other houses were heavily damaged. the old fire station is located right at the intersection of the roads to črnomelj and semič. the new fire station is located at the end of the village on the road to črnomelj. right there are also a soccer field and a field for handball and basketball. an old scale for weighing livestock can also be seen near the old fire station. a number of buildings have been listed as cultural heritage monuments by the slovenian ministry of culture. these are: the community has built a wastewater treatment facility that is now fully operational. all of the houses are now connected to the sewer network. hilary mckay (born 12 june 1959) is a british writer of children's books. for her first novel, "the exiles", she won the 1992 guardian children's fiction prize, a once-in-a-lifetime book award judged by a panel of british children's writers. mckay was born in boston, lincolnshire, the eldest of four daughters. she studied english, zoology and botany at st andrews university before becoming a public protection scientist. she currently resides in derbyshire with her husband, kevin. mckay says of herself as a child "i anaesthetised myself against the big bad world with large doses of literature. the local library was as familiar to me as my own home." the casson family series comprises the whitbread award-winning "saffy's angel" (2001) and four sequels: "indigo's star" (2004), "permanent rose" (2005), which was shortlisted for the 2005 whitbread awards, "caddy ever after" (2006), "forever rose" (2007), and prequel "caddy's world" (2011). the series focuses on an english family of artists, the cassons. the children are called cadmium ('caddy'), saffron ('saffy'), indigo ('indy') and permanent rose (rosy pose), and are named after paint colours (a large paint chart that hangs in the casson family's kitchen that plays an important role in the book "saffy's angel".) the parents' names are eve and bill. the first three books are written in the third person but focus on the point of view of the character in the title, whilst "caddy ever after" is written in the first person and is narrated by each of the siblings in turn, and "forever rose" is written in the first person and is narrated by rose. other characters featured in the books include tom (an american boy who makes friends with indigo and rose whilst on a short stay in england), david (a thick-skinned and well-meaning reformed bully) and sarah (or "wheelchair girl", as she was known to the cassons before she met saffron). "caddy's world," a prequel describes a younger caddy when rose was first born. cadmium is the dreamer of the family; she loves animals and has an incredible amount of guinea-pigs and hamsters. she falls in love with her driving instructor, michael, and it is she, initially, who looks after the other children. she loves her family, and often returns home to visit whilst studying zoology in london. saffron, or saffy, is the realist; she is scornful, sarcastic, and fiercely intelligent. really, she only wants to be loved; she often leans on her best friend sarah for support. she discovers in the first book that she is actually the daughter of eve's sister linda. in "permanent rose" she discovers that her father is bill (eve's husband and father of the other children, making her both the casson children's cousin and half-sister). indigo is the only boy. he is music-loving and sensitive, and his best friends are tom and david. rose is the true artist of the family. if not stopped, she will cover the walls of their house with paintings and drawings. eve is their ditzy mother who spends her time in the shed painting, when she isn't "hanging her young offenders" (she teaches them art on saturday mornings) or painting murals in the local hospital. she hardly ever cooks a proper meal, so the children live on tinned food and indigo's adventurous cooking, but she loves all her children and sees how special all of them are in their own way. their father bill is almost always in london and hardly ever home, although occasionally manages to save the day before disappearing back to his studio and girlfriend in london. the porridge hall series (1994-1998) features robin brogan and his mother, who live in porridge hall on the yorkshire coast. once porridge hall was mrs brogan's family home, now it has been split into two houses, and she and robin live in one half, from which mrs brogan also runs a bed and breakfast. the robinson family live in the other half, and the two families are firm friends. the robinson children are the twins, peregrine and antoniette, who have abbreviated their names to perry and ant, their brother sundance, and their sister beany. sundance got his nickname because perry and ant used to play butch cassidy, and sundance was always the sundance kid. beany, whose real name is elizabeth, got her name because she declared, at a young age, that she wanted to be a bean when she grew up. she actually wanted to be a doctor in south africa and didn't know how to tell her parents. other characters include dan, a former enemy of robin's, and later his best friend, and a mysterious girl called harriet, who appears in the second book, "the amber cat". storytelling is a key theme in the second and third books, whilst beachcombing and life by the sea feature large in all three books. the books have been published as audiobooks, with the first two read by nigel lambert, "the amber cat" also by ron keith, and "dolphin luck" by judy bennett. "dog friday" has been adapted into a german film, "ein hund namens freitag". besides german, the trilogy has been translated into dutch and estonian as well, and "dog friday" has also been translated into czech, danish, greek, polish, spanish, and thai, and "the amber cat" into french. ladislav jan šaloun (1 august 1870, prague – 18 october 1946, prague) was an important czech sculptor of the art nouveau period. šaloun was born in 1870 in prague and he studied in the studios of tomáš seidan and bohuslav schnirch. he was involved as an artist in the mánes union of fine arts. this independent education allowed him to avoid the influence of josef václav myslbek, looking instead to the work of auguste rodin. he was later admitted to the prestigious czech academy of sciences in 1912 but never took training there. in 1927 he was appointed the civic artistic advisor for the city of prague in 1927, and in 1946 was honored by being named a national artist. šaloun worked on his jan hus memorial on the old town square in prague for 15 years, from 1901 through 1915. during this time this commission required a much larger studio so he designed šaloun's villa where he lived and entertained. this house in vinohrady is one of the outstanding proto-modernist buildings of its prague district. he also produced similar hus monuments for the towns of hořice (1911–1913) and libáň (1925). his architectural sculpture for the municipal house, finished in 1911, is one example of his collaborations with czech architect osvald polívka. according to cannon-brooks, "from the beginning he was extremely prolific and his exceptional facility... led on occasion to a certain superficiality, for which he has been over-criticized." šaloun is buried in the vyšehrad cemetery, not far from his bust of antonín dvořák marking the composer's grave. the first all-star game was held as part of the 1933 world's fair at comiskey park and was the brainchild of arch ward, then sports editor for the "chicago tribune". initially intended to be a one-time event, its great success resulted in making the game an annual event, with some years (1959–1962) having two all-star games. the venue for each all-star game is chosen by an mlb selection committee. this choice may be made to commemorate a particular historical occasion, the opening of a new ballpark, or a significant milestone. the criteria for choosing the venue are subjective; for the most part, cities with new parks and cities who have not hosted the game in a long time or ever tend to be favored. the venues among the major league franchises: between 1964 and 2015, five teams hosted 3 times, 13 teams twice, ten teams once, and two teams not at all. the "home team" is the league in which the host franchise plays its games. through the 2018 season, the american league has hosted 43 times, and the national league has hosted 46 times. traditionally, the game's venue alternated between the two leagues from year to year with six exceptions: this tradition was discontinued after the 2015 game. as of 2019, one major league baseball franchise has never hosted an all-star game: the tampa bay rays. the miami marlins hosted for the first time in 2017 following the 2012 opening of marlins park, although miami was initially scheduled to host in 2000, mlb eventually moved the game to atlanta. all-star games have been played in d.c., hosted by both incarnations of the washington senators (now known as the minnesota twins and as the texas rangers), as well as by the washington nationals in 2018. of the remaining 27 franchises, the new york mets had gone the longest period without hosting since their sole hosting duty in 1964, but this streak came to an end at 49 years in 2013. during that span, 18 of the remaining 25 teams have hosted an all-star game at least twice since 1964: atlanta braves (1972, 2000, and future host in 2021), chicago white sox (1983 and 2003), cincinnati reds (1970, 1988, and 2015), cleveland indians (1981, 1997, 2019), detroit tigers (1971 and 2005), houston astros (1968, 1986, and 2004), kansas city royals (1973 and 2012), los angeles angels (1967, 1989, and 2010), milwaukee brewers (1975 and 2002), minnesota twins (1965, 1985, and 2014), new york yankees (1977 and 2008), philadelphia phillies (1976 and 1996), pittsburgh pirates (1974, 1994, and 2006), san diego padres (1978, 1992, and 2016), san francisco giants (1984 and 2007), seattle mariners (1979 and 2001), st. louis cardinals (1966 and 2009), and washington senators/texas rangers (1969 and 1995). the dodgers are now the team with the longest active hosting drought, since 1980. but this will change in 2020 when the dodgers host again, which will then pass the record to the oakland athletics who have not hosted since 1987. new stadiums that have not hosted the all-star game in cities that have hosted it previously are: citizens bank park in philadelphia, the new yankee stadium in new york city, and suntrust park in atlanta. future all-star games will be played at dodger stadium in 2020, at suntrust park in atlanta in 2021 and at the aforementioned citizens bank park in 2026. following the game at the first yankee stadium in 2008 in its final season, the bronx's old stadium joined cleveland's old cleveland stadium (also known as municipal stadium prior to its own demolition) as the only venues that have hosted four major league baseball all-star games. new york city has hosted it more than any other city, having done so nine times in five different stadiums; after 2017, tampa bay will remain the only major league city since the first all-star game in 1933 to never have hosted. dodger stadium will join this list in 2020. the only discontinued ballparks that hosted one all-star game are: ebbets field in 1949, memorial stadium in 1958, los angeles memorial coliseum in 1959, shea stadium in 1964, metropolitan stadium in 1965, busch memorial stadium in 1966, atlanta–fulton county stadium in 1972, the kingdome in 1979, olympic stadium (montreal) in 1982, hubert h. humphrey metrodome in 1985, globe life park in arlington in 1995, and turner field in 2000. the following teams have hosted the all-star game in the summer then proceeded to host post-season games in the fall: "league championship series play began 1969" "division series play began 1995" przysposobienie wojskowe kobiet (female military training) was a polish organization for women, which existed in the interbellum period as well as during world war ii. this was not a paramilitary organisation. in the autumn of 1918 poland regained national independence, which had been lost as a result of the partitions of poland. soon afterwards, numerous conflicts with several neighbouring states started, and in many cases polish women organized to actively participate in them, as auxiliaries to the polish army. the most famous example of such a unit was the ochotnicza legia kobiet (voluntary legion of women), created in late 1918 or early 1919 in lwów, for which poles fought with the ukrainians. the first commandant of the ochotnicza legia kobiet, colonel aleksandra zagorska, lost her only son, 14-year-old jerzy bitschan, in this conflict. poems and a song were written about him years later. the ochotnicza legia kobiet also actively participated in the polish-soviet war of 1919-1921, it had some 2 500 members and after the peace of riga it was dissolved, in 1923. but several women, with maria wittek as their leader, did not want to give up. they wanted equality, also concerning military service, which, in their opinion, should also be available to females. przysposobienie wojskowe kobiet was created in 1928 and its members were volunteers, women and girls over 15 who wanted to prepare themselves for future military service. enjoying the support of the government and the army, the organization had several facilities, in which summer and winter camps took place. many of the camps that were built and used by przysposobienie wojskowe kobiet, are now popular places for vacationing - garczyn by kościerzyna in pomerania, istebna by the olza river in cieszyn silesia, charzykowo near poznań, spała by tomaszów mazowiecki, but also koszewniki near grodno, now located in belarus. during the polish september campaign, members of the organization distinguished themselves and the most famous personality associated with przysposobienie wojskowe kobiet is undoubtedly elżbieta zawacka, whose activities helped the polish army headquarters in london to give women of the organization the same rights and privileges as those enjoyed by male soldiers. women actively took part in home army actions. there were numerous women soldiers in the warsaw uprising. after its collapse, the germans treated them as regular soldiers, according to the geneva convention. unlike civilians from warsaw, they were not sent to concentration camps such as ravensbrück and stutthof, but to special pow camps, operated by the wehrmacht, mainly stalag vi-c in oberlangen and oflag ix-c in molsdorf. in the stalag vi-c there were almost 2,000 women-soldiers, they were freed by the 1st armoured division (poland) of general stanisław maczek. oflag ix-c was freed by the americans of the us third army led by general george s. patton. after the war, all polish women-soldiers were gathered in burg, hessen, where they received english uniforms with a "poland" sign on their sleeves. in january 2017 the association "ogólnopolska grupa rekonstrukcji historycznej przysposobienia wojskowego kobiet" was founded. udpcast is a file transfer tool that can send data simultaneously to many destinations on a lan. this can for instance be used to install entire classrooms of pcs at once. the advantage of udpcast over using other methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is that udpcast uses the user datagram protocol's multicast abilities: it won't take longer to install 15 machines than it would to install just 2. by default this protocol operates on the udp port 9000. this default behaviour can be changed during the boot stage. http://udpcast.linux.lu/ king edward vi high school is a mixed secondary school located in the highfields area of stafford, england. the school has a sixth form, which forms part of the stafford collegiate. it is a comprehensive state school admitting boys and girls from ages 11–18. the school was formed in 1977 following the amalgamation of king edward vi boys’ grammar school and stafford girls’ high school. king edward vi high school is administered by the staffordshire county council education committee. it serves mainly the west of stafford to the shropshire border, and admits students aged between 11 – 19 years. the school catchment area includes western downs, the rowley avenue area, forebridge, doxey, the top end of the highfields estate and the villages to the west of stafford i.e. bradley, derrington, seighford, haughton, gnosall, church eaton and woodseaves. the school was formed by merging the long established selective schools, king edward vi boys’ grammar school and stafford girls’ high school, in 1977. the selective element was removed in order to create the comprehensive school taking pupils of all abilities. the premises of the girls’ high school were enlarged and the school was based there. the closure of the old grammar school led to the creation of the independent fee-paying stafford grammar school. the free grammar school of king edward vi was first established in stafford in 1550 to provide free education to young boys. in 1862 a new building was erected for the school on newport road and would serve as the home of the boys' grammar school for well over 100 years. the old king edward vi building on newport road remained in education hands and was turned over to chetwynd middle school before later becoming what is now known as the chetwynd centre, home of the stafford collegiate, where many post-16 subjects are taught as part of an agreement between the stafford secondary schools and stafford college of further education. stafford girls' high school was established in 1907 as a grammar school for girls and was based at the oval, just off the lichfield road, with some accommodation for students at the hough cottage (now an italian restaurant). the school later moved to a new site off west way, close to stafford castle; the modern home of king edward vi high school. in 1977 king edward vi grammar school and stafford girls' high school were amalgamated to create a comprehensive off west way. the two schools merged in september 1976, with king edwards vi boys grammar vacating their site to move to the stafford girls' high school site off newport road. the old girls' school buildings on the oval also remained in education hands, later becoming an art college before being converted into residential apartments. in 2003, colin elstone was appointed as headteacher, serving until 2010 before his retirement. the school achieved its ofsted status as "good with outstanding features" under his leadership. from 2010 to 2014 the headteacher was russell davis, before the current headteacher, and former deputy headteacher, jason christey was appointed in 2015. the school achieved another "good" ofsted rating during its inspection in 2018. bartlett richards (january 6, 1862 – september 5, 1911) was a cattle baron and banker who owned or fenced in vast acreage in wyoming and nebraska. born on january 6, 1862, in weathersfield, vermont, the son of rev. j. deforest richards, a congregational church pastor and harriet bartlett jarvis. at the age of ten, after his father died, richards was sent to phillips academy in andover, massachusetts. after graduation in august 1879, richards moved west to cheyenne, wyoming to recover his health in the outdoors, a prescription similar to that given later-president theodore roosevelt. bartlett richards, however, became involved in the cattle business, and elected to remain in wyoming rather than return to the east. by the time the year was over, he had purchased 1000 head of cattle and established the ship wheel ranch on the belle fourche river in northeast wyoming. richards quickly became involved with ranching activities. by 1881, he was managing three ranches in wyoming and a year later was put in charge of lakotah and rocky mountain cattle companies. in 1883, representing abram stevens hewitt, richards took over the bronson ranch (which was renamed the lower 33) in sioux county, nebraska. in 1885, richard's elder brother, deforest richards, moved west to open a bank in the boomtown of chadron, nebraska, which had just been reached by the fremont, elkhorn and missouri valley railroad. that year, congress also passed the van wyck fence law, which prohibited barbed wire fences from blocking cattle roads to market and access to water sources. bartlett was named vice president of the bank and in 1887 became president of chadron's first national bank, in addition to his ranching activities. despite the anti-fencing law, the richards brothers fenced in vast acreage with barbed wire. deforest richards controlled about a half million acres and bartlett richards had nearly 300 miles of fencing on government lands (in effect securing another half million acres) by 1899. his nebraska land and feeding co. had fenced in an area equivalent to four times the state of rhode island by 1902. jarvis richards fenced in colorado acreage in addition to helping his brothers with their operations. bartlett richards noted to fellow cattlemen in february 1902 that over 6 million acres of federal land had been fenced and 350,000 head of cattle were fattening behind those fences, and estimated the land and cattle were worth about $18 million. richards proposed to legalize these takings by having congress pass a lease bill. however, president theodore roosevelt (either despite or because of his experience as a cattleman) vetoed it. he also sent john mosby to remove the fences. many of richard's fences supposedly protected homesteads of soldiers' widows, based on fraudulent documentation. mosby's colorado methods failed, however, since the omaha grand jury refused to authorize an indictment against richards or anyone but nonresident agent w. r. lesser. mosby was recalled to washington to appease nebraska's senators, but other attorneys were sent out, who secured indictments. richards and his english brother in law william g. comstock were convicted in 1905 despite their argument that the government land hadn't been surveyed. the local judge sentenced them to $300 fine apiece and six hours in custody, which they spent celebrating at the omaha cattlemen's club, and which led president roosevelt to fire both the u.s. attorney and u.s. marshall. the next year richards and comstock were indicted on a new charge of conspiracy to deprive the government of public land, convicted and fined $1,500 fines as well as sentenced to a year in jail. after three years of appeals, the convictions and sentences were upheld, so they were sent to prison in hastings, nebraska for a year beginning in 1901. richards was also involved with at least nine other banks in nebraska and wyoming, serving as stockholder, vice president, and president. richards also continued to operate the lower 33 and ox yoke ranches in nebraska, including the spade ranch empire. richards died in the hospital at hastings, nebraska in 1911, a month before his sentence would have been completed. his body was returned to vermont for burial. the nebraska historical society has microfilm relating to him and his cattle operations. in 1970, he was inducted into the hall of great westerners of the national cowboy & western heritage museum. albert of pisa, o.min. (died 23 january 1240), was an italian franciscan friar. he served as minister provincial for germany, hungary, and england. albert of pisa, was born in tuscany. according to tradition, agnellus of pisa and albert were received into the order together by francis in 1211. he served as provincial minister in tuscany (1217-1221), ancona (1221-1223), germany (1223-1227), spain (1227-1230) and bologna (1230-1232). he was provincial minister in hungary, when, in the spring 1236, agnellus of pisa died at oxford. albert was then transferred to england, arriving there in december. thomas of eccleston, (who was not a supporter of elias of cortona), reported that at the 1230 general chapter supporters of elias, who had previously served as vicar general, broke in and disrupted the proceedings. before the general chapter of 1239, a number of influential friars met to discuss reform. the chapter was held in rome, convened and presided over by pope gregory ix. haymo of faversham spoke out against elias. on 15 may 1230, albert was elected to replace elias of cortona as minister general of the order. the mass albert celebrated during the chapter, was the first conducted by a duly ordained minister general, as none of his predecessors had been priests. after his deposition, elias went to cortona, where he visited a house of poor clares without permission. albert was prepared to absolve him, but elias went instead to the ghibelline city of arezzo, and gregory excommunicated him. albert of pisa died at rome on 23 january 1240, and was succeeded as minister general the following november by haymo of faversham. according to rosalind b. brooke, although albert's tenure was brief, his election indicated a clear rejection, (with pope gregory's approval) of elias' management. the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs (dasd-da) is a political appointment created by united states president george w. bush. the appointee has responsibility for captives apprehended during the "war on terror". "the new york times" described one appointee as: ""a primary adviser to defense secretary donald h. rumsfeld on detainee matters and his point man for dealing with foreign governments and international organizations on the issue."" matthew waxman was the first to hold this position. he was followed by charles "cully" stimson, who resigned in february 2007 following controversial comments about lawyers representing detainees. career state department lawyer sandra hodgkinson held the position from 2007-2009. the washington post reported in february 2009 that phillip e. carter was slated to be the new deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, following speculation on pentagon blogs about his appointment. the department of defense has published 179 guantanamo documents dossiers prepared from the unclassified documents prepared for captives 2004 combatant status review tribunals. documents from the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs routinely lead the documents that the tribunals considered as evidence justifying the guantanamo captives continued extrajudicial detention. on february 16, 2010 william k. lietzau was appointed as "deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee policy". by october 2011 he had taken on responsibility for the department's rule of law and humanitarian policy portfolio, and held the title "deputy assistant secretary of defense for rule of law and detainee policy". borovica (, divided into borovica donja and borovica gornja) is a small village in the middle of bosnia and herzegovina near today's vareš, and is situated near the old medieval castle bobovac, the residence of the bosnian kings. the village became famous in the middle ages for its mining industry, which was mainly based on gold and iron ore. the inhabitants of borovica originate from immigrated miners from the region of saxony in germany. for this reason, the descendants of the present day still have blonde hair and blue eyes with a typical german look. the first written document about borovica is dated to the year 1637 and confirms the arrival of a bishop and 19 people at that time. the village, whose ethnic background is fully croat, was mostly destroyed during the war in bosnia and herzegovina and the inhabitants forced to flee. at that time, borovica's population was 1,511; in 2013, approximately 100 croats were still living there. some of them returned after the war in 1992. the gang returns home, where buffy is quick to leave the job of chastising dawn to giles, who is unhappy about how buffy is relying on him so much. meanwhile, willow casts a spell on tara to make her forget their quarrel. at imdb, "all the way" was given a rating of 7.2 out of 10. tv.com scored the episode 7.9 out of 10. "smashed" is the 9th episode of season 6 of the television series "buffy the vampire slayer". willow, sad and lonely without tara, figures out a way to turn the metamorphosed amy from a rat back into human. feeling newly liberated, they decide to go out and have some fun. at the bronze, a couple of guys try to intimidate them. they perform a spell on the boys to make fun of them, but soon they begin to perform more and more complex spells, filling the bronze with strangely dressed people, sheep, mutations and so on. willow is beginning to have a taste of her real power and she likes it. warren, jonathan and andrew steal a large diamond from a museum, in a comical scene resembling a famous sequence from the films, leaving its sole guard frozen by their freeze-ray. spike discovers that the chip in his head gives him no pain when he punches buffy. after verifying, with warren's help, that the chip appears undamaged and still causes him agony when he harms humans, spike tells buffy that she "came back wrong" and that she "has a little demon" in her. in furious disbelief, buffy assaults spike and they battle until buffy unleashes her desire and kisses him, initiating such passionate sex that the abandoned house in which they were fighting collapses around them. steve tartalia, james marsters' stunt double, says he knocked himself out during the last scene, in which buffy and spike fall through the ceiling. "on that fall," he says, "our legs got tangled in the breakaway ceiling, and it caused us to tilt at an angle so that my head would be the first thing to hit the ground. and it did, and it knocked me out. basically, i came to with some flashlights and smelling salts." stunt coordinator john medlen also hurt himself during this episode, while demonstrating how spike should swing from the chandelier. the chandelier broke, he fell 7 feet, and the chandelier landed on his face, breaking his nose. a longer, more intense lovemaking scene was originally filmed for the finale of the episode, but was cut out. in his dvd commentary, writer drew z. greenberg says that in his original conception of willow's confrontation with the homophobic men at the bronze, he intended for willow to cast a spell on the men so that they couldn't stop kissing each other. joss whedon vetoed the idea because he did not want to portray people's sexual orientation as changing in an instant and he did not want to portray same-sex kissing as a punishment. three consecutive episode titles in the sixth season are euphemisms for drunkenness or being under the influence of narcotics in american english: "smashed", "wrecked", and "gone". willow's descent into her addiction to magic becomes dizzying and frightening. the little sound in bermuda is a small part of the great sound, the body of water that is almost entirely encircled by the bermuda chain in the west of the territory. the little sound lies at the south of the great sound, and is separated from it by two peninsulas which extend into the sound from sandys parish in the west and warwick parish in the east. "wrecked" is the 10th episode of season 6 of the television series "buffy the vampire slayer". tara and dawn wake on the couch and find that neither buffy nor willow returned home the night before. buffy wakes up naked with spike to find that the building around them fell down as she remembers what they did. spike tempts buffy as she tries to leave and reminds her of everything they did the night before. he angers and disgusts her, but while she searches for her clothes spike asks her to stay. buffy appears on the verge of agreeing before spike makes a comment about their night together, and she leaves, threatening to kill him if he tells anyone about what happened between them. amy returns home with willow and rambles about willow's amazing magic – in front of tara and dawn. tara leaves as buffy returns, and after a chat, amy leaves and buffy and willow go to bed after their long nights. willow tries to shut the drapes of her room with magic, but she is too exhausted to manage it. anya reads bridal magazines instead of researching the freezing demon. xander gets frustrated, finding bridal magazines in every research book he checks. at the magic shop, xander, anya and buffy discuss willow's behavior and buffy comes to willow's defense. amy suggests that she and willow visit a warlock, rack, who can give them great spells that last without any recovery time. the house is cloaked and filled with the magically addicted, seeking a fix. rack takes a "tour" of willow's body before giving her what she came for. amy spins about the room wildly as willow hangs out on the ceiling, seeing spots and weird images. the next morning, willow wakes in her own room and cries in the shower. she manipulates some of tara's clothes to form an invisible body and curls up against it. dawn plans to see a movie with willow. buffy returns home to find amy stealing some of willow's magical supplies. buffy scolds her as amy behaves obsessively about the supplies and tells buffy about willow's whereabouts. willow and dawn talk about food and tara, then take a detour to rack's place so willow can get a fix. dawn waits impatiently in the waiting room with a freaky man. meanwhile, willow floats in rack's room and sees herself flying in space before a demon holding a limp body makes her scream. buffy wakes spike and demands his help in finding willow and dawn. dawn is mad that willow left her for so long, and willow's carefree attitude makes dawn nervous and eager to return home. buffy refuses to admit she likes spike and he again reminds her how much she really wants and needs him. a demon confronts willow, claiming that she summoned him with her magic. the demon cuts dawn and the girls run. willow uses magic to take over and drive a car, but it crashes and both are wounded. dawn has a broken arm. willow is knocked out against the steering wheel. the demon catches up with their wrecked car and dawn tries desperately to fight it off. spike and buffy, who heard dawn scream, come to the rescue. buffy fights the demon while spike takes care of buffy's wounded younger sister. suddenly the demon explodes into flames as a result of a killing spell cast by willow. despite willow's sincere apology and tearful regret, buffy tells her to stay back and dawn slaps her away in anger. spike takes dawn to the hospital and buffy confronts a devastated and remorseful willow who is now finally able to ask for help. at the house, buffy talks with willow about her abuse of magic and the consequences. willow says she's giving up magic for good and buffy agrees with that. she also senses the similarities between willow's magic use and her own situation with spike. later, willow fights the symptoms of withdrawal in her bed while buffy hugs a cross and surrounds her bedroom with garlic. three consecutive episode titles in the sixth season are slang for drunkenness or being under the influence of narcotics in american english: "smashed", "wrecked", and "gone." willow's descent into her addiction to magic becomes dizzying and frightening. as noted in the credits, this episode was dedicated to the memory of j.d. peralta (assistant to executive producer and showrunner marti noxon) who died of cancer in november 2001, the month in which this episode aired. west butterwick is a village and civil parish in north lincolnshire, england. it lies

canada, germany, the netherlands, norway, spain, sweden, and united kingdom. this is in first case meant to be used for combined travel air and train, for overseas travellers, where travel agents can have difficulties selling tickets over the train booking systems. since several big airports e.g. london-heathrow, amsterdam-schiphol and copenhagen-kastrup have regular train connections from the airport, there is a big demand to travel combined air and train. in some cases the train has competed out air connections, leaving accesrail as a main ticket option. accesrail has the airline code 9b

"doublemeat palace" is the 12th episode of season 6 of the television series "buffy the vampire slayer". willow reports to xander and anya that the supervillains seem to have abandoned their basement lair. meanwhile, buffy, having found out that she is deeply in debt, gets a new job working at a fast food restaurant called doublemeat palace. she soon believes something strange is going on. buffy is offered the doublemeat medley, a burger consisting of typical ingredients and layers of beef and chicken. she reluctantly takes a bite, then questions what the secret ingredient in the meat is, but gets no clear answer ("it's a meat process."). buffy watches as a coworker, gary, waits on a woman wearing a wig who is a regular at the palace. after his demonstration, buffy takes the next customer, but is lost quickly in the process as the family's order is too complex for her to follow. during her break, buffy sneaks around in the back rooms, searching for the truth behind the secret ingredient, but is caught by manny. at the counter, buffy finds her friends have come by to visit her and she treats xander to a doublemeat medley. anya goes on a rant about how behind the wedding plans are, partially blaming willow for the complications. later, buffy receives a surprise visit from spike at the restaurant. he teases her and tries to persuade her to leave the job and be with him, warning her that this job could kill her. he offers to do everything in his power to take care of her and help her with her money problems. she remains determined and turns away. gary goes out to the alley behind the restaurant and encounters someone/something that he recognizes; then that someone or something attacks him. the next day, with gary not there to work, buffy is assigned to the grill. as timothy demonstrates the process, buffy asks again about the secret ingredient, but still can't get an answer from anyone. manny then assigns buffy to a double shift because of the reduction of employees. at the apartment, a vengeance demon appears suddenly before xander, threatening to tear him into pieces. anya enters the room and recognizes the vengeance demon as her old friend halfrek, and the girls greet each other gleefully. anya clears up the confusion, explaining that she invited halfrek to the wedding, not to seek vengeance on xander. xander quickly gets out of their way. at the doublemeat palace, buffy spots spike outside through a window and they look at each other wistfully. she spends her break having sex with him in the alleyway out behind the restaurant. amy pays willow a visit, wanting her rat cage as a souvenir, and talks with willow about her progress with avoiding magic, something which amy isn't very encouraging about. wishing to get willow back on to magic, amy gives her an unasked-for gift that provides willow with uncontrollable magical powers. buffy watches the grinder grind meat, but discovers a human finger in the processed meat. appalled at the idea of human meat being the secret ingredient, buffy confronts manny about it, but he doesn't agree with her suspicions. buffy charges out into the dining area, attempting to stop all the patrons from eating while shouting that the meat is made of humans. the outburst gets her fired. over drinks, anya and halfrek talk about anya's relationship with xander and anya begins to reevaluate her situation with xander after halfrek repeatedly insists on addressing the issue. buffy brings the severed finger and a doublemeat medley to the magic box, but xander eats the burger before buffy explains her concerns. willow arrives late, ready to begin researching, although she's still under amy's gift spell and lacks control over her use of magic. buffy leaves to investigate doublemeat palace after hours, while willow uses chemistry to test a leftover piece of meat from the doublemeat medley. buffy breaks into the palace and finds clues: blood and manny's severed foot. willow struggles to avoid using magic while dawn and xander talk about the kind of future life buffy will have because she's the slayer. anya shows up late, after halfrek's departure, and a tense argument develops between her and xander over the less-than-attractive appearance of a vengeance demon. willow's analysis reveals that the "meat" is mostly cellulose (vegetables treated with beef fat). while continuing to snoop, buffy encounters the regular customer, "wig lady", without her wig. a demonic lamprey emerges from the lady's head and sprays a paralyzing liquid at buffy. the lady advances on buffy and talks about eating doublemeat employees as the slayer struggles to escape. willow shows up and tries to inform buffy of the doublemeat medley which is not made of humans, but processed vegetables, then begins to confess to her about amy's magical gift. buffy is unable to respond to the information as she continues to try to get away from the lamprey, which manages to latch onto her shoulder and start to feed. inside, willow tries to stop the woman/lamprey and uses a large blade to cut the lamprey from the woman's body. that doesn't immediately kill the lamprey and willow quickly shoves it into the meat grinder. the next day at the summers' house, amy pays willow a visit, needing to borrow a few necessities. willow denies her entrance into the house and pointedly suggests that amy stay away from her. amy accuses willow of taking much too long to reverse a spell gone wrong that changed her into a rat. the former friends exchange piercing glances, then amy turns and walks away. buffy returns to the dmp to return her uniform to the new manager, lorraine. after revealing her knowledge of the doublemeat medley's composition, she is sworn to secrecy. she gets her job back and resigns herself to working there, at least for the present. during the academy of television arts & sciences panel discussion that occurred between seasons six and seven, joss whedon revealed that this episode was the first episode that caused sponsors to threaten to pull support due to the portrayal of the fast food industry. buffy working at doublemeat palace "made the advertisers very twitchy"; as whedon joked, "the most controversial thing we ever had on buffy was a hamburger and chicken sandwich." a rollback occurs on a launched roller coaster when the train is not launched fast enough to reach the top of the tower or hill. it will roll backwards down the tower, and will be stopped by brakes on the launch track. any roller coaster on which it is possible for a rollback to occur will have these brakes. intamin, a manufacturer of roller-coasters, refers to the "rollback" as a "short shot". most coasters contain at least one anti-rollback device to prevent a train from rolling backwards while ascending the main lift. this is typically with chain-driven lifts, not hydraulic launchers such as kingda ka or top thrill dragster. rollbacks are most common (though still quite rare) on the world's largest launched roller coasters, kingda ka at six flags great adventure, and top thrill dragster at cedar point, along with somewhat smaller rides such as stealth at thorpe park and launched roller coasters of the same type, such as xcelerator at knott's berry farm and storm runner at hersheypark. there are several factors that can cause a rollback, all of which are related to the train's speed: while the general public may not realize that rollbacks usually are completely safe and that coasters are designed with them in mind, many coaster enthusiasts look forward to being in one. being in a rollback essentially gives riders a ride and a half, as the train will be launched again after the rollback. on some rides, when a rollback occurs with people on board, the train will first be brought back to the station to give the guests the option of getting off; other roller coasters with dual-train dispatch systems disallow backwards returns to the station and the train will simply be launched a second time without the option to disembark. on extremely rare occasions, a single train may require more than two launches to clear the highest point of the track. very rarely, a train is launched with just enough speed to reach the track's highest point, resulting in the train getting stuck on the top. this results in neither a full ride nor a rollback. this happened three times on top thrill dragster. all three times, a ride mechanic had to take an elevator to the top, and give the train a small push so it could complete the ride. it has also happened on stealth at thorpe park during early morning tests. maverick at cedar point tests roll backs every morning during testing. in a video of a rollback on stealth at thorpe park, the train is seen to reach slightly over halfway over the midpoint at the top. the train proceeded to roll back, due to an insufficiently powerful launch, combined with an uneven distribution of weight on the train in april 2006. stealth also had a rollback in march 2008 due to strong winds. ian wayne callen (born 2 may 1955, in alexandra, victoria) is a former australian cricketer who played in one test and five odis from 1978 to 1982. he now runs a business making cricket bats. callen made his first-class debut for victoria in 1976-77. in his fourth sheffield shield match he took 4 for 55 and 5 for 15 in an innings victory for victoria over south australia, and in the next match he took 1 for 82 and 8 for 42 in a 10-wicket victory over queensland. his only test came against india in adelaide in 1978. despite being badly affected by the injections he had received just before the match in preparation for the tour to the west indies that was to follow, he took three wickets in each innings, helping bowl australia to a series-winning victory. on the night before the last day's play, he collapsed in the team hotel and was placed on an intravenous drip, but recovered to take an important part in australia's victory on the last day. on the tour of the west indies, he played in the first odi, taking 1-42, and the second, taking 3-24. during the tour he fractured a vertebra in his lower back. in 1982 he returned to international cricket in pakistan with the australian side. he played in three odis, taking 1-32, 0-50 and not bowling in the third. he never fully recovered from the lower back injury. callen established ian callen sports in 1981. he sold it in 1985 to concentrate on making a range of three bats, the mx, the k-ix and the aussie boomah. his company in the yarra valley, callen cricket, has re-established the growing of cricket-bat willow from stock sent to australia by english test captain a. c. maclaren in 1902. he harvests and processes the timber from his plantations at healesville and sale. the timber is used for the manufacture of cricket bats and picture frame mouldings. he conducts courses teaching the craft of making cricket bats by hand. at first he used willow imported from england, but now he uses his own. "normal again" is the 17th episode of season 6 of the television series "buffy the vampire slayer". the trio summon a demon whose hallucinogenic venom makes buffy believe that her implausible and nightmarish life as vampire slayer has actually been her own elaborate hallucination as a mental patient, catatonic in a hospital for the past six years. buffy searches newly rented houses for the trio's hideout, and the three discover her on their surveillance equipment when she gets a bit too close. while they hide in the basement, andrew wells calls on a demon that attacks buffy and starts a fight. the demon grabs buffy and stabs her with a needle-like skewer from his forearm (similar to the polgara in season 4). buffy flashes to a scene in a mental hospital where as a patient she cries out as she's held by two orderlies and stabbed with a needle. buffy wakes up alone outside the trio's house with no demon to be seen; hurt and confused, she walks home. willow prepares herself for talking to tara, but spots tara greeting another woman with a quick kiss (on the cheek) and willow walks away, wounded. tara notices her retreating, but it is too late to chase after her. at the doublemeat palace, buffy works like a zombie, and flashes back to the mental hospital, where a doctor announces it is time for her drugs. willow and buffy talk about xander's disappearing act after his aborted wedding and willow's attempt to talk to tara. xander surprises the girls by showing up at the house, and wonders about anya and how to repair his relationship with her. the girls tell him anya left a few days ago and try to reassure him that everything will work out in time. buffy runs into spike at the cemetery and they talk about the events of the wedding that didn't happen. a confrontation begins between xander and spike and as willow tries to break it up, buffy gets weak and collapses. xander manages one punch to spike before his attention is drawn by buffy. back in the 'reality' of the mental hospital, a doctor informs buffy that she's been hallucinating in the hospital for the past six years and everything she knew to exist in sunnydale isn't real. she's shaken and confused — especially when both of her parents appear together (with hank having abandoned his family years earlier and joyce having subsequently died in the sunnydale world). buffy falls back into the sunnydale world, finding herself surrounded by her concerned friends. willow and xander get buffy home, and she recounts what she saw and was told at the mental hospital; dawn is hurt when told she doesn't exist in buffy's 'ideal' alternate reality. while willow organizes a plan to research, buffy falls back to the 'reality' of the mental hospital, where her doctor explains to her parents that she has been catatonic from schizophrenia for all of the past six years (except for the brief period of lucidity which buffy dimly remembers as her time in "heaven") and that her life as the slayer has been an elaborate improvised hallucination she has constructed for herself in her mind, explaining what buffy realizes is its extreme improbability and illogicality compared to the 'mental patient' scenario. in sunnydale, warren mears and andrew wells return to their hideaway with boxes after leaving jonathan levinson alone. leery of their secretive behavior, jonathan suspiciously questions the contents of the boxes before trying to leave the house himself. warren doesn't agree with that idea and convinces jonathan to stay in the basement. willow shows buffy a picture of the demon that stung her and tries to comfort her friend. buffy confesses to willow that in the beginning of her slayer life, she told her parents about vampires and was put in a clinic for her supposed insanity (a period covered in the "buffy" comic "slayer, interrupted"). buffy wonders if she's still there and therefore sunnydale really doesn't exist, but willow assures her that isn't true. xander and spike patrol for the demon that hurt buffy; they subdue and capture it. dawn comforts buffy, who dazedly notes that dawn has been misbehaving and the problems need to be dealt with before 'coming to' in the hospital, where her mother reminds buffy that dawn does not exist. dawn realizes through buffy's babbling that she's considering this, and rushes from the room. xander and spike manhandle the demon into buffy's basement chaining it while willow breaks off its stinger to make the antidote, which she must synthesize without using magic. later, willow presents the antidote to buffy in a mug and leaves her to drink it as spike delivers a monologue urging her to abandon the life that's grown so hellish for her and choose peace with him. this misfires, convincing buffy to reject the antidote (which she pours unnoticed in the trash) and with it, the 'delusion' of being a vampire slayer. in the hospital, buffy tells the doctor and her parents that she wants to be healthy and rid of thoughts about sunnydale. the doctor tells her that she has to do what is necessary to destroy the elements that draw her back there, like her family and friends, in order to truly be healthy. willow and buffy are talking in the kitchen. xander arrives at the house and finds buffy alone in the kitchen. he talks to her about spike, but she knocks him out cold and drags him into the basement, where willow is already bound and tape gagged. buffy finds dawn upstairs, after first opening a door and not finding her there, and chases her through the house as dawn pleads that she is real. dawn is bound and tape gagged in the basement with the others and with the chained demon. in the mental hospital, the doctors urge buffy to make her task easy on herself, so buffy unchains the demon in the basement to kill her friends for her. xander pleads with buffy to free his hands, but she retreats under the stairs. meanwhile, tara shows up at the house and finds everyone in the basement. she uses magic to free willow and dawn and attack the demon, but the demon is too strong for them; buffy grabs tara's feet through the stairs, making her fall and knocking her unconscious. at the hospital, joyce encourages buffy to fight against the sunnydale reality, telling her that she has the strength to fight against the harshness of the world and must fight it because she has people who love her. buffy, inspired by her mother's mis-chosen words, takes her advice to "believe in" herself literally, thanking her mother and saying goodbye to her as she chooses a life of suffering in the nightmarish sunnydale reality over the much less arduous world represented by the mental hospital. buffy wakes up in sunnydale to save her friends. she kills the demon and then reconciles with her friends, urging them to quickly make her that antidote while she stays on guard against relapsing again. back at the hospital, buffy is still sitting in her corner of the room, now completely unresponsive as the doctor shines light into her pupils. he tells buffy's heartbroken parents that she's "gone", as the camera pulls away out of the room; buffy has succumbed to her illness. as there is no flashback to sunnydale at the end of the episode, the creators leave the audience wondering which is the true reality. according to joss whedon, this episode was the "ultimate postmodern look at the concept of a writer writing a show", as it questioned fantastical or inconsistent elements of the show "the way any normal person would". whedon added that the episode is intentionally left open to interpretation; the actual cause of the delusions, either the poison or buffy's return to "reality", is not made explicitly clear. "if the viewer wants," whedon says, "the entire series takes place in the mind of a lunatic locked up somewhere in los angeles... and that crazy person is me." although, "personally, i think it really happened." producer/writer marti noxon commented; "it was a fake out; we were having some fun with the audience. i don't want to denigrate what the whole show has meant. if buffy's not empowered then what are we saying? if buffy's crazy, then there is no girl power; it's all fantasy. and really the whole show stands for the opposite of that, which is that it isn't just a fantasy. there should be girls that can kick ass. so i'd be really sad if we made that statement at the end. that's why it's just somewhere in the middle saying "wouldn't this be funny if ...?" or "wouldn't this be sad or tragic if...?" in my feeling, and i believe in joss' as well that's not the reality of the show. it was just a tease and a trick". in his dvd commentary, director rick rosenthal says that he was a little intimidated working with sarah michelle gellar at first because she has the habit of jokingly saying to directors, "you're not the boss of me!" or "don't tell me what to do!" this episode was the basis for the gamebook "la nuit je suis buffy summers", by french author chloé delaume. the futon critic named it the 35th best episode of 2002. "entropy" is the 18th episode of season 6 of the television series "buffy the vampire slayer". the trio, riding atvs, pursue two vampires through a cemetery; one of them throws a tree branch at andrew, causing him to fall off and the others to crash. the vampires encounter buffy and they fight. one vampire drops the mysterious disk that the trio were after; warren snatches it and the trio escapes, unseen by the slayer. as buffy fights, spike seizes one of the vampires and offers to stake him, provided that buffy agrees to tell the scooby gang about their sex life. buffy rejects the deal and stakes both vampires without spike's help. she dares spike to spill the beans; since her friends have forgiven her attempt to kill them a little dalliance is unlikely to make them hate her. xander mopes alone at his apartment but eventually can't stand it anymore and leaves. as he walks away, anya watches him from behind some bushes. the next day, willow waits for tara outside of her classroom and the two talk and plan a coffee date. buffy and dawn stroll downtown, but there are very few stores where dawn can show her face: she has confessed to shoplifting at most of them. they chat about all of the things dawn stole and how they're working to remedy the whole problem. jonathan works on a project involving the disk they stole as warren watches over, eager for it to be complete. while jonathan finishes his work alone, warren and andrew wells talk about their inability to trust jonathan and how soon they won't need him anymore. that evening, xander comes home from work and finds anya at his apartment waiting for him. xander tries to apologize for walking away from their wedding. there is a glimmer of hope for them until xander says he wanted to stop the wedding before it happened. taken aback, anya asks xander what he meant by that remark. xander, as he's done before, tries to change the subject by telling a sarcastic story until anya cuts him off by asking if he still wants to marry her. xander admits to loving her dearly and wanting to be back with her, but he's still too afraid of himself to marry her. with her back turned to xander, she reveals her vengeance demon face and angrily begins to wish him physical harm – but nothing happens. anya morphs back into her human face and, upset that her powers didn't work, she leaves while a confused xander looks on. the next day, anya has coffee with halfrek and the two demons talk about anya's attempts at vengeance. halfrek reminds anya that she can't grant her own wishes and must get someone else to wish xander harm. at the summers house, buffy makes pancakes for dawn. dawn realizes she's trying too hard to make up for what happened when she was crazy, and eventually buffy catches on to that reality as well. dawn proposes the idea of joining buffy on patrol so the two can spend some time together, but buffy isn't interested in that. on their coffee date, willow fills tara in on all of the supernatural activities that tara has missed over the past months. anya interrupts them and tries to maneuver them into wishing harm to xander. she does the same with dawn at the magic box and with buffy at home; but no one takes the bait. xander shows up at buffy's house and anya leaves in a huff. buffy talks him out of following anya and he takes his aggressions out by kicking a lawn gnome on buffy's front lawn. when buffy doesn't recognize the decoration as something she put there, xander examines it and finds that it contains a small camera. they guess that it was placed by spike, who has more than once been caught watching the house in the past. buffy confronts spike at his crypt with the mini camera she found. spike denies planting the mini camera, and he further insists that he would never do anything like that to hurt buffy, because he believes that the love between them is real. buffy concedes that it is, "for him"; this hurts spike deeply. at the magic box, anya complains to halfrek that all the women she knows still love xander too much to wish him harm, despite what he did to her. halfrek tells anya that she needs to find someone who hates xander to make the wish – and at that moment spike appears, seeking something to ease his pain. anya remembers that giles left something appropriate: a partial bottle of evan williams bourbon. halfrek leaves and wishes anya the best of luck. at buffy's house, willow uses her computer to try to trace the camera's signal. given that it was not spike, they correctly assume that the trio are behind it. jonathan completes his work with the disk, and uses it to highlight a spot on a map of sunnydale. the trio are delighted, until the map catches fire. this distracts them from a red light, flashing to announce that their network has been penetrated. anya and spike drink the whiskey and complain to each other about their respective relationship problems. spike reiterates how he despises xander, but anya cannot get him to make a wish. spike also tells anya that he likes her forthrightness. willow finds more camera feeds: the trio are watching her classrooms, the bronze, xander's and buffy's workplaces. buffy wants to find them even more urgently now. spike and anya seek comfort in each other's arms. anya feels guilty about what happened with xander and spike consoles her, which leads to much more. the two kiss and undress. andrew belatedly sees the intrusion alarm. willow stumbles upon the magic box feed as spike and anya are having sex on a table. warren directs andrew to shut down the surveillance network, but they are captivated by the action on the magic box camera. willow fails to keep buffy, xander and dawn from seeing what is going on at the magic box. xander is enraged. buffy, stunned, goes to sit in the back yard. dawn follows buffy and they begin to talk about buffy's affair with spike. their bonding moment is cut short as willow informs them both that xander is gone – with an axe. spike and anya get dressed and act awkwardly and embarrassed about their impulsive behavior. as spike leaves the shop, xander attacks him. xander is about to stake spike when anya comes outside, trying to stop him; she distracts him long enough for buffy to knock him out of the way. xander and anya yell at each other. xander is disgusted that anya had "let that evil, soulless thing touch [her]"; spike quietly remarks that he was good enough for buffy. xander tells spike to leave buffy out of it – then he and anya see buffy's startled face and connect the dots. this is too much for xander; he drops the stake and walks away stunned. buffy also walks off, angry at spike for revealing their secret. spike finally starts to make a wish, but anya stops him, and they part ways. willow is sitting in her bedroom when tara appears, saying that repairing their love will be a long process – which she'd rather skip. they kiss. gary "gus" john gilmour (26 june 1951 – 10 june 2014) was an australian cricketer who played in 15 tests and five one day internationals (odis) between 1973 and 1977. at the peak of his career, gilmour combined "talented hitting" with "penetrative" left-arm swing bowling and strong slip catching. he earned comparisons to the australian all-rounder alan davidson. he was called "newcastle's greatest all-rounder and arguably its greatest cricketer". gary john gilmour was born on 26 june 1951 in the newcastle suburb of waratah. he attended waratah primary school and newcastle boys high school. he was awarded two "blues" by the new south wales combined high schools sports association: in 1967 (baseball) and 1969 (cricket). gilmour was selected to play for newcastle while still a teenager. he was only 16 when picked for northern new south wales against new zealand and took 5–70 for newcastle against metropolitan when only 17. he was picked in the australian schoolboys team to tour the west indies in 1969–70. in 1970–71 he was selected in the state colts team. gilmour was selected in the new south wales team to play south australia in january 1972. he scored 40 in the first innings and 122 in the second. he also took 2–27 and 0–40. gilmour scored a duck in his next game, against western australia, but took four wickets with the ball. his third match, against south australia, saw him take 4–69 in south australia's second innings. gilmour began the next summer well, taking seven wickets against wa (including his first five-for, 5–65) and scoring 72 runs. he struggled against south australia, scored 53 playing against the touring pakistan side for an invitational tasmanian side took five wickets against victoria and five wickets plus an innings of 73 against queensland. people began to discuss him as an international prospect. the following season, he had early good form including seven wickets against wa, six wickets and a score of 59 against sa, four wickets against sa, and five against wa. a good all round performance for new south wales against the touring new zealand team helped his cause considerably, taking seven wickets and making a score of 54. he was picked in the australian side for the first test. before that game he almost took nsw to victory against victoria, scoring 72 not out in an unsuccessful run chase and nabbing four wickets. gilmour had an excellent debut. australia batted first and scored 8–462; gilmour scored 52 not out off 58 balls. new zealand were dismissed for 237 with gilmour taking 4–75. he only bowled three overs in the second innings as australia's spinners took the bulk of the wickets; new zealand only made 200. gilmour found things slightly tougher in the second test, taking 1–70 and 3–70 and making 3 with the bat in a drawn game. gilmour was out-bowled in a sheffield shield game by jeff thomson and was made 12th man for the third test so the australian selectors could trial other bowlers. however he did make the squad to tour newzealand in 1974. he took first class 45 wickets at 31 for the summer – this would be gilmour's best ever aggregate. gilmour's first class debut in new zealand was against auckland; he took two wickets and scored 52 with the bat. he took five wickets against northern districts, he was made 12th man for the first two tests. six wickets against otago saw him back in the eleven for the third test. he took seven wickets in a test at auckland, which included 5 for 64 in the first innings to set up a series-tying victory. he also won man of the match award for the 1st odi, taking 2–19 off 7 overs. he took 1–36 in the second odi. gilmour had taken 20 first class wickets on the tour at an average of just 15. competition for fast bowling places in the australian team was intense at this time, especially once denis lillee returned from injury and jeff thomson struck form. gilmour wasn't selected for the 1974–75 ashes series, with the selectors preferring max walker as the third pace bowler. highlights of the summer included an innings of 59 for nsw against the touring english, seven wickets against victoria, 5–19 in a spell against queensland, four wickets against wa and six against south australia. these efforts – 31 shield wickets at 30 – earned him selection on the 1975 tour of england, in part because his all-round ability made him ideal for the world cup one-day matches. the team went through canada, and gilmour had some very strong games, hitting 77 in one. the australians, inexperienced at one-day cricket, adopted a casual yet aggressive approach, often employing a full slips cordon for their opening bowlers. gilmour was twelfth man in the early stages of the tournament, but selected for the semi-final against england at headingley. on a day tailor-made for his style of bowling, he finished with 12 overs, six for 14, thus bowling out the opposition for 93. this was the first time that a bowler had taken six wickets in an odi, and remained the best odi bowling performance until winston davis claimed 7–51 in the 1983 competition. with the australians almost defeated at 39 for 6 in reply, gilmour thrashed 28 not out off 28 balls to push his team into the final. although australia lost the final to west indies, gilmour bagged 5–48 and scored 14 off 11 balls. gilmour pressed for selection in the test side with some strong performances in tour games. this included six wickets against kent, and 40 and 46 against glamorgan. however he was made 12th man for the first two tests, despite scoring 102 in 75 minutes against sussex. the selectors preferred max walker as third paceman. gilmour was called on only at headingley, partly because of his world cup effort there. he replaced alan turner. he bagged 6 for 85 in the first innings, three more in the second innings, in a game that was famously called off because protestors vandalised the pitch. gilmour was dropped for the last test. gilmour's best season was in 1975–76. he started well, taking 5–75 and scoring 40 for nsw against queensland. he followed this with scores of 65 and 75 and three wickets against wa (kim hughes's first-class debut). he scored 74 against south australia and took three wickets for nsw against the touring west indians. gilmour was picked in the side for the first test against the west indies and this time it was max walker who was made 12th man. gilmour took 4–42 and 2–26 helping australia win the match. gilmour was kept on in the second test, with australia opting for five bowlers (playing gilmour and walker, hoping gilmour's batting would offset the loss of a specialist). gilmour scored 48 (australia's second highest score in their first innings) and took 2–103 as australia lost by an innings. in the sole odi that summer, gilmour took 2–48. gilmour was made 12th man for the third test with the selectors deciding to play max walker at his mcg home ground. an injury to dennis lillee saw gilmour back in the side for the fourth test. and he took 0–54 and 2–43, and scoring 20 with the bat. in the fifth test, gilmour hit 95 off 94 balls in australia's first innings and got a duck in the second; he took 2–37 and 3–44 with the ball. in the sixth test he took 5–34 in the west indies first innings, helping set up another australian victory. he finished the series with 20 wickets at 20.3. he finished the summer with 104 for nsw against victoria and 80 against south australia. that summer was his best with the bat, making 708 runs at 37. he also took 39 first class wickets at 30. gilmour toured south africa in 1976 with an international wanderers side managed by richie benaud. highlights of the tour was the first game against the south african xi. the wanderers were 9–228 in their second innings, only 158 runs ahead. gilmour came out to bat at number 11 (number ten was alan hurst) and proceeded to hit 80 runs in 64 minutes in a partnership of 96. this enabled the wanderers to win the game. richie benaud said was one of the best innings he had seen. gilmour did not repeat his form in the second game or the third. he scored 54 in a one-day game. gilmour's form dropped off sharply the following summer. he took 1–87 off 17 overs against victoria and struggled to get wickets in other early season games. he did take seven wickets in a game against queensland. he was chosen over max walker as third paceman for the first test against pakistan, in support of lillee and thomson. gilmour required a runner during the game, due to an injured ankle. he took 1–55 and 1–67 and scored 5 and 3. jeff thomson was injured in that game, so gilmour kept his place for the second test, taking 2–78 and 1–19. in the third test he took 3–81, making it eight wickets in three tests at 37.5. later it was revealed that gimour had been bowling all summer with a bone "the size of a five-cent piece" floating around his heel. gilmour's weight led to him coming in for criticism. he would later tell the story of don bradman informing him that "if i was a selector you'd never play for australia. you eat too many potatoes." a brief tour to new zealand followed, on which it became clear that gilmour was struggling with a leg injury. he scored 44 in an early tour one day game, but performed poorly with the ball, taking 0–56. against wellington he took 0–31 and 0–30, though scored 25 with the bat against central districts he took 0–40 and 1–28. in the first test, gilmour hit his only test century, 101 in 146 balls and 187 minutes, combining with doug walters for an australian record seventh-wicket partnership of 217. "i can't think of a better gilmour innings for australia", said greg chappell. "1 know a lot of people thought he should be dropped, but that innings showed why he can't." he took 0–48 and 1–48 with the ball. he also bowled poorly in the second test, taking 1–59 and 0–11 (off one over). "it certainly isn't helping us", said greg chappell. "he is not bowling as well as he should be". however he did score 64 with the bat. gilmour kept his place in the side for the centenary test at melbourne in march 1977. gilmour later says he "was a fool" for not pulling out of the test. he scored 4 in australia's first innings then bowled five overs to take 0–4. in australia's second innings he made 16, and was only called on to bowl four overs (conceding 29 runs) in england's run chase, despite england scoring 417. his poor form saw him omitted for selection on the 1977 australian tour of england. "i was driving over the sydney harbour bridge one night and the team was read out", recalled gimour. "my name wasn't in it. that really peeved me." he had an operation to remove the bone shortly afterwards. gilmour signed to play world series cricket. "i had been in and out of the side for a couple of years and i knew that if i signed for world series cricket i was going to get some monetary reward for all the hours i'd spent in the past six or seven years. i knew that if i kept playing for the board i wasn't guaranteed any financial reward at all." gilmour later said, "when we first started playing world series cricket, i think we lost a lot of friends ... not player-wise, i don't think ... the players are ok. it's the officials that take a bit of swaying again... there were officials with the cricket association who i regarded as good friends and i had drinks with them whenever i was in sydney or whenever they were in newcastle. and they started treating me and the other players in wsc like lepers. i think that was the most hurtful thing of all. it was something that they didn't go along with and they just couldn't handle it".". gilmour had a patchy world series cricket. he was called into the main side when dennis lillee fell injured for the 4th supertest in 1977–78 against the world xi. gilmour took 3–103 and 4–26 in a game that australia lost; he scored 10 and 26 (off 19 balls) with the bat. he was kept on in the team for the 5th test, suffering badly at the hands of the world xi batsmen, and going for 1–141 in an australian innings defeat. he scored 9 and 13. among his one-day games were one against the west indies where he scored 23 off 20 balls and took 2–46. he scored 39 against the west indies in another game and in the final took 2–14. gilmour began the 1978–79 season well with 5–20 in a warm-up game but was suspended for being "a bit overweight" on a tour of new zealand. he was given a month to lose the weight and succeeded. highlights of the 1978–79 summer included putting on 75 in 51 minutes with ian chappell in a one-day game and taking a hat trick in a one-day game against the west indies. in the supertests he took 3–28 and 3–57 against the world xi. he toured the west indies in 1978 with the australian world series team. during world series cricket, gilmour had the occasional run-in with kerry packer. he later recalled: it was a freezing night at vfl park in melbourne and they had just introduced the stump microphone. rainy, miserable night it was. ray bright was our 12th man and i spent several overs trying to get his attention. in the end i yelled into the stump mic, 'hey brighty, where's me f—ing jumper?' i thought they'd cut it out, but apparently it went to air. packer wasn't impressed. got hauled over the coals for that one! in 1979 gilmour, reflecting on wsc, said "i don't think i would have rushed into it like i rushed into it before." in 2003 he would reflect that from "a financial point of view" joining world series cricket was the correct decision but "from a career point of view... i don't know. the jury's still out." gilmour said "from the cricket point of view, world series cricket was the hardest couple of years i've ever played in my life. "but on the other aspect – my position in the australian side – it seems, [from looking at] the players that the australians picked for the establishment, i think i could have made it and probably could have finished up financially about the same – for playing less cricket. but i don't think it would have done my game any good because i know that playing world series cricket – it was tough – i think it made me a lot better cricketer." following the end of world series cricket, gilmour only played two more first class games for new south wales. "they had me earmarked for destruction," he later claimed of the australian cricket establishment. he began the 1979–80 season well taking 5–35 and scoring 35 in a trial game. he was selected in the nsw side for the first sheffield shield game of the season, against wa. he took two catches and went for 0–93 and 1–11. he was dropped for the next game in favour of richard done. when asked if he thought he would get back in the australian side, gilmour said ""i dunno. it's going to be hard. it goes on performances too well in this game, so i've... been put in the back for a while." he added that "when i finish up [cricket], i'll finish up completely. i've been playing first-class cricket for about 10 years and what cricket's given to me i think i've put back into it. it's taken a lot of time out of my life and. i'm married and i've got two kids and i think i've sacrificed a lot in those 10 years just to play cricket, so i think when i finish i'll finish with cricket and start something else". gilmour was recalled to play tasmania in a mcdonald's cup one-day game. he scored one batting at first drop and went for 0–25 off three overs as tasmania won the game. also in that competition took 2–28 in a game against queensland, 2–39 in the semi final against wa and 1–53 and scored 21 in the final against victoria, which nsw lost. he played one more first class game, against south australia, taking 1–44 and 0–5. his first career was over at the age of 27. however he continued to play for belmont in newcastle district competition. in 1980–81 he scored 59 for newcastle against the touring new zealanders. he heel injury brought an early end to his summer. there was some talk gilmour might return to nsw ranks in 1981–82 but it did not happen. he did score a 102 off 101 balls for country northern against country southern. in 2009 he was appointed manager of the newcastle representative cricket team. he has been made a member of waratah primary school's hall of fame. in 2007, he was "named one of the best 30 players to have played one-day cricket for australia". in 2010, the new training nets at lugar park, kotara, were named in his honour. gimour suffered poor health in the last years of his life. he had a congenital narrowing of the main artery to the liver, and underwent a liver transplant in 2005. he suffered ill-health for many years, which was exacerbated by a fall. he died at royal prince alfred hospital in sydney on 10 june 2014. "he was at the front of the queue when they were handing out talent, but unfortunately he was right at the back of the queue when they handed out health and good luck", said his captain ian chappell. gary's elder brother, greg "sleepy" gilmour, was the main force behind the hunter jaegers joining the national netball league, and played first-grade rugby union for merewether-carlton and wanderers. his three sons, clint, ben and sam gilmour and nephews, mitch and nathan gilmour, all played cricket. gilmour was married to helen and together they had four children, clint, ben, sam and brooke. clint gilmour predeceased his father, dying of brain cancer aged 33 in march 2014. teammate kerry o'keeffe said on gilmour's death: he wasn't a gregarious bloke, really. he was actually quite retiring, but he was always up for a bit of fun. he never seemed to take his cricket all that seriously, in that country way. numbers didn't mean much to him. in a lot of respects he had that 'hookesy' outlook. why would you get eight not out in 10 overs? he couldn't understand, what's the use of that? his record suggests unfulfilled talent and i guess that's what it was to a certain extent. another teammate, steve bernard said: as a cricketer he was the most talented player of my time, a guy who had extraordinary talents in every facet of cricket. in hindsight he probably didn't reach the heights that he should have, based on his cricket ability, but the guys who played with him and against him will recognise he was a fantastic player, who was dynamic in anything he did in cricket. when he was on he was unplayable. he bowled a swinging ball, he could hit the ball a mile, throw it like a bullet and he was a fantastic catcher either close to the wicket or in the outfield – a supreme cricketer. he was a very popular person, gus, a bit of a larrikin and very much liked by everyone. he didn't take life all that seriously, played for the enjoyment of it. the toucan prize () is a literary prize given by the city of munich to the best new publication by a munich author. it has been awarded since 1965 and is endowed with 6,000 euros. mix 94.5 (official callsign 6mix) is a commercial music radio station owned by southern cross austereo in perth, western australia. despite sharing the 'mix' callsign, it has no relation to the mix stations in other australian cities. it is targeted to 25 to 54 year olds. the station originally began as 6ky, beginning broadcasting on 23 october 1941 on 1210am khz and would eventually end up at the frequency 1206 khz. the original building, at 17-19 james street, east perth, was the first building in western australia to be built specifically as a radio station. consisting of five studios and an auditorium, the station was then owned by the australian workers' union. on 1 june 1991, under then general manager peter perrin, 6ky became one of two perth radio stations to convert from the am to fm bands. the station became known upon conversion to fm as 6kyfm, and later as 94.5 kyfm, with the official call sign 6jky, the transition from am to fm was considered one of the most successful in australia. the perth conversion process was in fact the second round of auctions for that city as the first round was unsuccessful, leaving 96fm, the first and only commercial fm station in the city. the on-air identity was later shortened to 94.5fm under the management of well-known perth broadcaster gary roberts and then around 1997–1998 adopted the name mix 94.5. the official call sign is now 6mix. in september 2005, mix 94.5 changed its logo from the red mix in the blue ball to the one seen on the right on this page. in march 2007 mix 94.5 and sister station 92.9 moved from premises at 283 rokeby road, subiaco, western australia to a new purpose built broadcast centre at 450 roberts road, subiaco. the switch between mix 94.5's rokeby road studios and the new purpose built broadcast centre in roberts road took place at 2pm on 5 march. the first song played was "friday on my mind" by the easybeats which was #43 in the "top 294 songs for grown ups" that mix 94.5 was playing across the long weekend. in may 2009 the station began broadcasting its signal on digital radio as well. perth was the first australian city to switch the digital transmitters. 6am-9am: the big breakfast with clairsy, matt & kymba

hawkins island is a small island within bermuda's great sound. it lies in the southeast of the sound, and is in the north of warwick parish. originally named elizabeth's or tatem island, it was renamed in 1809. now privately owned by the cox family, it was formerly the property of the royal navy, and was a prisoner of war camp from 1901 to 1902, during the south african war. the camp's watchtower yet stands, having been converted into a home. it is the most easterly of the group of islands stretching across the sound from the salt kettle peninsula. hawkins island has been reborn under the vision of will cox to create a private island retreat. the first phase has been completed which includes a wedding venue and luxury villa which can sleep up to 8 people and includes walking and running paths. peter laurence taylor (born 22 august 1956) is a former australian cricketer who played in 13 test matches and 83 one day internationals from 1987 to 1992. he became a test match selector for australia in the late 1990s. his initial selection for australia in 1986-1987 after only a handful of games for nsw was a huge shock. it was initially thought that his more known new south wales colleague mark taylor had been selected. he was dubbed "peter who"? by the media. taylor played for new south wales in the sheffield shield between 1985 and 1990 and played two seasons for queensland (1990–92) he justified his selectors with a stunning 6/78 on debut against england at sydney. he however was unable to repeat such a feat again in his test career (12 more matches between 1987 and 1992). however taylor became the staple spin-bowler of the australian one day team of the late 1980s and early 1990s. he was able to bowl his off-spin with economy and pick up vital wickets in matches. he was also a good fielder and an able lower order batsman. he played 83 times taking 97 wickets between 1987 and 1992, appearing in both the 1987 and the 1992 world cups. taylor was noted for his deliberate approach to the wicket and the rhythmical nature of his bowling action that involved him first swinging his bowling arm, joining hands as he swung forwards then completing a loop of his joined hands before delivering the ball. he was noted as a heavy spinner of a cricket ball and comparisons were made with ashley mallett, the former australian spin bowler. nils bengt folke ekerot (8 february 1920 – 26 november 1971) was a swedish actor best known for portraying death in 1957's "the seventh seal" by ingmar bergman, a director which he worked years later. ekerot was born in stockholm. he had several roles in swedish films, but he became immortalized in 1957 when he starred in ingmar bergman's "the seventh seal", portraying death as a white-faced man in a black cloak, an archetype that has influenced the representation of death in countless instances in film and other media since then. a life of indulgence, smoking and drinking affected his later career; he would lose out on parts as producers and directors of screen and stage lost faith in him. chasing his demons eventually led to his early death from lung cancer in 1971. long island is a small island within the great sound of bermuda. it lies in the southeast of the sound, and is in the north of warwick parish. like its neighbour hawkins island, it was a prisoner of war camp during the second boer war from 1901 to 1902. the deutsches optisches museum jena is a science and technology museum displaying optical instruments from eight centuries. it gives a technical and cultural-historical survey of the development of optical instruments. the development of the city jena to the centre of the optical industries since the mid-19th-century is integrated in the exhibition, connected with the lifeworks of ernst abbe, carl zeiss and otto schott. in cooperation with the art club jena non-optical themes are offered in special exhibitions. before the opening of the zeiss museum of optics in oberkochen in 2014, the deutsches optisches museum jena was the only museum of its kind in germany. besides the production of microscopes, carl zeiss took over repairing optical instruments of other manufacturers. he did this to pursue the rivalries development. at the turn from 19th to the 20th century, the staff of the carl zeiss company began to collect optical instruments. in june 1922, the carl-zeiss-stiftung established the optical museum; the exhibition was located in the neighbouring volkshaus (community hall). johannes schreiter and hans schlag designed a building for the 1917 founded "college of ophthalmology". the reinforced concrete construction was carried out during 1923/24 by the company dyckerhoff & widmann (dywidag) from nuremberg. in october 1924, the exhibition was moved into the new building at no. 12 carl-zeiss-platz in which it is still housed today. the collections were reserved for a selected group of people for purposes of research and not open to the public. during the second world war in 1941/42, the exhibition was relocated to underground production facilities around jena. the optical museum was preserved from the soviet occupation's dismantling programme 1946. the first permanent exhibition was launched 1965 in the griesbach garden house. in 1976/77, the exhibition was returned to the building at no. 12 carl-zeiss-platz. on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of carl zeiss in december 1988, the historical zeiss-workshop (circa 1860) was opened as part of the optical museum in the neighboured volkshaus. accompanied with the opening, the museum was renamed as the "zeiss-museum" but the name was changed back in 1991. in june 1992, the optical museum was taken into the trusteeship of the newly established ernst-abbe-foundation. the historical zeiss-workshop was moved in 2002 from the volkshaus to the optical museum. the carl zeiss foundation, the ernst abbe foundation, carl zeiss ag, the city of jena and the friedrich schiller university in jena joined forces to establish the deutsches optisches museum foundation on 9 september 2016. the foundation has been tasked with expanding the existing optical museum and turning it into the deutsches optisches museum. the present exhibition covers an area of 1200 m² at three floors: marshall's island is a small island within the great sound of bermuda. it lies in the southeast of the sound, and is in the north of warwick parish. the island is in two distinct parts, joined by a narrow neck. previously owned by the royal navy, it is now privately owned.. ídolos is a portuguese reality television show based on the popular british show pop idol. the show is a contest to determine the best young singer in portugal. the first two seasons were hosted by sílvia alberto and pedro granger. the show, then went to a sort of hiatus, and, after only a lukewarm reaction by the viewers for season two, the show has officially been replaced by another casting show on its broadcast station, "família superstar", which ended in 2008. after an absence for four years the show returned for a third season to sic in fall 2009 now with joão manzarra and cláudia vieira hosting. season 3 finished in february 2010, and season 4 started in september. ídolos had three audition cities to find the best talent in all of portugal, including: porto, beja and lisbon. however, in the third and fourth seasons, auditions were made in porto, lisbon, aveiro, portimão and estoril. the show did not return in fall 2011 but instead returned in 2012. the show is currently on hiatus since late 2012, since then their timeslot for 2013 has been taken over by "factor x", the portuguese version of "the x factor". in the first and second season: in the third, fourth and fifth season: in the first and second season: in the third and fourth season: in the fifth season: top 30 format: three out of ten making the final each week and one wildcard top 10 on may 3, 2015 during the show's broadcast with a new episode, a 16-year-old contestant by the name of alexandre rebelo who had prominent ears auditioned to be on the show previously on march 27, 2015. alexandre's grandmother gave him authorization to be in the casting, but he did not get to sing in front of the juries. he instead simply sung on camera with the song: "diamonds" by rihanna. but what alexandre didn't expect, the tv producers were bullying and making fun of him solely because of his hard of hearing. the tv producers went out of their way and maliciously decided to add a special effect via post-production onto alexandre by inflating his ears in a much bigger size while he was still singing and the producers even added inappropriate cartoon-like background music without his knowledge and consent as the episode was being publicly broadcast across the entire country as for "humor." this embarrassed and humiliated rebelo up to the point where he was skipping school and could not even leave his own home. he was very displeased upon seeing what happened during the episode when it was first broadcast, along with his grandmother who was in great despair crying because alexandre always got bullied in school because of his ears. sic and fremantlemedia has since claimed that they regret pulling the move. on the facebook page of the show however, several outraged comments were posted by many users forcing the producers of the show to apologize for such incident and for humiliating alexandre. they apologized to the grandmother but she told them that an apology will simply not be enough to cover the damages that have been done towards her grandson. she wants true justice upon alexandre's suffering and the following incident that was caused is going to be at a high cost. a campaign has started by alexandre himself to fight against bullying regarding sic's action. a comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator or a three-way comparison) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list. the only requirement is that the operator forms a total preorder over the data, with: it is possible that both "a" ≤ "b" and "b" ≤ "a"; in this case either may come first in the sorted list. in a stable sort, the input order determines the sorted order in this case. a metaphor for thinking about comparison sorts is that someone has a set of unlabelled weights and a balance scale. their goal is to line up the weights in order by their weight without any information except that obtained by placing two weights on the scale and seeing which one is heavier (or if they weigh the same). some of the most well-known comparison sorts include: there are fundamental limits on the performance of comparison sorts. a comparison sort must have an average-case lower bound of ω("n" log "n") comparison operations, which is known as linearithmic time. this is a consequence of the limited information available through comparisons alone — or, to put it differently, of the vague algebraic structure of totally ordered sets. in this sense, mergesort, heapsort, and introsort are asymptotically optimal in terms of the number of comparisons they must perform, although this metric neglects other operations. non-comparison sorts (such as the examples discussed below) can achieve o("n") performance by using operations other than comparisons, allowing them to sidestep this lower bound (assuming elements are constant-sized). comparison sorts may run faster on some lists; many adaptive sorts such as insertion sort run in o("n") time on an already-sorted or nearly-sorted list. the ω("n" log "n") lower bound applies only to the case in which the input list can be in any possible order. real-world measures of sorting speed may need to take into account the ability of some algorithms to optimally use relatively fast cached computer memory, or the application may benefit from sorting methods where sorted data begins to appear to the user quickly (and then user's speed of reading will be the limiting factor) as opposed to sorting methods where no output is available until the whole list is sorted. despite these limitations, comparison sorts offer the notable practical advantage that control over the comparison function allows sorting of many different datatypes and fine control over how the list is sorted. for example, reversing the result of the comparison function allows the list to be sorted in reverse; and one can sort a list of tuples in lexicographic order by just creating a comparison function that compares each part in sequence: balanced ternary notation allows comparisons to be made in one step, whose result will be one of "less than", "greater than" or "equal to". comparison sorts generally adapt more easily to complex orders such as the order of floating-point numbers. additionally, once a comparison function is written, any comparison sort can be used without modification; non-comparison sorts typically require specialized versions for each datatype. this flexibility, together with the efficiency of the above comparison sorting algorithms on modern computers, has led to widespread preference for comparison sorts in most practical work. some sorting problems admit a strictly faster solution than the bound for comparison sorting; an example is integer sorting, where all keys are integers. when the keys form a small (compared to ) range, counting sort is an example algorithm that runs in linear time. other integer sorting algorithms, such as radix sort, are not asymptotically faster than comparison sorting, but can be faster in practice. the problem of sorting pairs of numbers by their sum is not subject to the bound either (the square resulting from the pairing up); the best known algorithm still takes time, but only comparisons. the number of comparisons that a comparison sort algorithm requires increases in proportion to formula_1, where formula_2 is the number of elements to sort. this bound is asymptotically tight. given a list of distinct numbers (we can assume this because this is a worst-case analysis), there are "n" factorial permutations exactly one of which is the list in sorted order. the sort algorithm must gain enough information from the comparisons to identify the correct permutation. if the algorithm always completes after at most "f"("n") steps, it cannot distinguish more than 2 cases because the keys are distinct and each comparison has only two possible outcomes. therefore, by looking at the first formula_5 factors of formula_6, we obtain this provides the lower-bound part of the claim. a better bound can be given via stirling's approximation. an identical upper bound follows from the existence of the algorithms that attain this bound in the worst case, like heapsort and mergesort. the above argument provides an "absolute", rather than only asymptotic lower bound on the number of comparisons, namely formula_9 comparisons. this lower bound is fairly good (it can be approached within a linear tolerance by a simple merge sort), but it is known to be inexact. for example, formula_10, but the minimal number of comparisons to sort 13 elements has been proved to be 34. determining the "exact" number of comparisons needed to sort a given number of entries is a computationally hard problem even for small "n", and no simple formula for the solution is known. for some of the few concrete values that have been computed, see . a similar bound applies to the average number of comparisons. assuming that it is impossible to determine which order the input is in with fewer than comparisons on average. this can be most easily seen using concepts from information theory. the shannon entropy of such a random permutation is bits. since a comparison can give only two results, the maximum amount of information it provides is 1 bit. therefore, after "k" comparisons the remaining entropy of the permutation, given the results of those comparisons, is at least bits on average. to perform the sort, complete information is needed, so the remaining entropy must be 0. it follows that "k" must be at least . this differs from the worst case argument given above, in that it does not allow rounding up to the nearest integer. for example, for , the lower bound for the worst case is 3, the lower bound for the average case as shown above is approximately 2.58, while the highest lower bound for the average case is 8/3, approximately 2.67. in the case that multiple items may have the same key, there is no obvious statistical interpretation for the term "average case", so an argument like the above cannot be applied without making specific assumptions about the distribution of keys. the following is a list of the admirals of the imperial japanese navy during

portrayed as a personified natural disaster at first but over the course of the film franchise's many monster battles he is gradually put into the position of protector of the human race, a key trope of the kyodai hero genre. though godzilla established the minor concept of the kyodai hero, the genre technically began with p-productions live action adaptation of osamu tezuka's maguma taishi which predated the popular ultraman franchise, by six days. ultraman was created by godzilla films special effects director and supervisor eiji tsuburaya. ultraman quickly became very popular in its initial run that tsuburaya productions (the now owner of the ultraman series) produced a sequel show called ultra seven, the second kyodai hero show ever produced. though technically a kyodai hero, ultra seven mainly fought aliens throughout the show. ultra seven was the last tokusatsu kyodai hero show eiji tsuburaya ever produced. he died in 1970. since then, the increase in ultraman's popularity was so great that tsuburaya productions decided to bring back ultraman indefinitely, spawning dozens ultraman shows now referred to as the "ultra series". the 70s saw the decrease of kaiju films and the uprising of tokusatsu and kyodai hero shows. tsuburaya productions rebooted the ultraman character with the return of ultraman. this reignited high interest with studios to produce their own tokusatsu shows. many of the tokusatsu shows from the 70s era mainly featured kyodai heroes such as godman and super robot red baron. by 1975, tokusatsu shows were highly popular in asia. toho studios even invented its own kyodai hero to fight alongside godzilla, jet jaguar in the film godzilla vs. megalon. in hong kong, shaw brothers studio produced its own henshin/kyodai hero as well with the super inframan. though stylistically more akin to kamen rider, inframan mixed kyodai hero elements into its formula, allowing the titular hero to grow to gigantic size. the kyodai hero genre usually involves a man who transforms into the eponymous hero, usually an organic cyborg, android, or robot, and changes to an enormous size to battle a giant monster or aliens. the special effect techniques usually use suitmation and miniatures, a sfx tradition in asia. darrell's island is a small island within the great sound of bermuda. it lies in the southeast of the sound, and is in the north of warwick parish. the island is owned by the bermuda government. the 1621 version of richard norwood's map of bermuda shows darrell's island at that time appears to have been called "captain tucker's island" (""ca. turker iland"") presumably for captain daniel tucker (governor of bermuda from 1616 to 1619). what is now known as hinson's island is shown on the same map as darrell's island (""dorrel iland""). the islands of the great sound were part of the royal naval land purchases in bermuda following the american war of independence. the royal navy used the islands for various purposes in the 19th century. darrell's island was also used as a quarantine station. during the second boer war, it was used (along with several of its neighbours) as a prisoner of war camp. in 1936, imperial airways built an air station on darrell's island. this operated as a staging point on scheduled trans-atlantic flights by imperial airways and pan american. the island was taken over as royal air force bermuda during the second world war. after the war, it returned to civil operation until air services moved to new land-based facilities at kindley field (now bermuda international airport). subsequently, darrell's island was briefly used for film location work. evesham railway station is in the town of evesham in worcestershire, england. it is between and stations on the cotswold line between and "via" worcester and . it is operated by great western railway. trains to take about 1 hour 45 minutes. it is one of the few railway stations in the united kingdom to have shown a steady (if relatively small) decline in use since 2004 (see usage figures, below right). the first major section of the oxford, worcester and wolverhampton railway (oww), between evesham and , opened to public traffic on 3 may 1852, the opening ceremony having been held on 1 may. evesham was a terminus for just over a year, until the last major section of the oww, from evesham to wolvercot junction (to the north of ), was opened on 4 june 1853. the oww became the west midland railway in 1860, which in turn merged with the great western railway in 1863. facing the present (former oww) station across the car park is the former midland railway station of 1864 by the architect george hunt on the ashchurch to evesham loop line, which closed to passenger traffic in june 1963 and completely a year later. the original timber buildings from this station were taken to build monsal dale railway station in derbyshire; the replacement stone structure still stands and is used for office accommodation. the rest of the site has been redeveloped as a housing estate. evesham currently has an irregular service with gaps between daytime services ranging from 40 minutes to 2 hours. it has a total of 32 services monday to friday: destinations served include worcester, great malvern and hereford to the north and west and oxford, & london paddington to the south. typical journey times are 27 minutes to worcester, 1 hour 15 minutes to hereford, 55 minutes to oxford, 1 hour 16 minutes to reading, and 1 hour 44 minutes to london paddington. rajindra dhanraj (born 6 february 1969) was a cricket player for the west indies for a short while. he played only four tests and six one day internationals. later, he was more successful playing for the trinidad & tobago team. hinson's island is a small island within the great sound, bermuda of bermuda. it lies in the southeast of the sound, and is part of paget parish, although it was formerly part of warwick parish and is still within the warwick north constituency. hinson's island is the only island in bermuda served by the government ferry system. the population of hinson's island is approximately 50 people. hinson's (formerly known as brown's or godet's) island is one of the larger islands in the great sound. like its neighbours, it was used as a prisoner of war camp during the second boer war, then became the base for bermuda's first seaplane service. nakovo () is a village located in the kikinda municipality of the north banat district of serbia, in the autonomous province of vojvodina. it is situated near the border with romania. the population of the village numbers 2,419 inhabitants, of whom 2,301 (95.12%) are ethnic serbs. its name originates from count nako, who founded the village in 1784. in serbian, the village is known as "nakovo" or наково, in croatian as "nakovo", in hungarian as "nákófalva", and in german as "nakodorf". in the middle ages, a village by the name of szollos (seleš, szőllős, seleuš, sellesch) existed on the location of present-day nakovo. during ottoman rule (16th-17th century), seleš was populated by ethnic serbs. by the first half of the 18th century, the village no longer existed and the area was an uninhabited heath. in 1782, the area came under the possession of the nako brothers, greek traders from macedonia. in order to provide a labour force for his estate, kristifor nako built 50 houses in 1784, and settled them with ethnic hungarians. in 1790, a new wave of colonists settled the village. this time, they were germans, who numbered 176 families with 706 family members. in 1793, the population of the village numbered 1,054 people, mostly germans and some french people as well. during this time, hungarians no longer inhabited the village - they departed from it because of the harsh conditions of life. in 1836, the village had 1,775 catholic and 6 orthodox inhabitants, while in 1911, the population of the village numbered 538 households with 2,834 inhabitants. in 1918, after world war i, the village became part of the newly formed kingdom of serbs, croats and slovenes (future yugoslavia). during world war ii (1941–1944), it was included into the german-occupied banat region. as a consequence of events during the war and the axis occupation, most of the german population fled from the village with the german army in 1944. the smaller part of the population that stayed in the village was sent to prison camps. in 1945-1946, serb families from bosnia came to the settlement. "cry" is a song recorded by american recording artist michael jackson that features on his tenth and final studio album, "invincible" (2001). the song was written by r&b singer-songwriter r. kelly, who had previously written jackson's 1995 single "you are not alone". "cry" was produced by jackson and kelly. it was released in december 2001 under epic records as the second single from "invincible". "cry" is a r&b ballad, with lyrics that highlight problems with the planet. the lyrics also urge people to unite to make the world a better place. the track, thus, recalls previous jackson songs that promote peace and environmentalism. the song was released with two b-side tracks; "shout" and "streetwalker". "cry" received mixed reviews from music critics. the single had a moderate chart performance internationally, with its highest peak being number sixteen in denmark, and its least successful charting country being austria. the track was promoted with a music video, which was filmed by nicholas brandt. the video does not feature jackson but shows people holding hands and standing side by side in a variety of settings, including a beach and a forest. "cry" was recorded by american singer michael jackson for his tenth and final studio album, "invincible" (2001). the song was written by r&b singer-songwriter r. kelly, who had previously worked with jackson on his 1995 single, "you are not alone;" jackson and kelly's collaboration on "cry" is the second of what would be three collaborations. "cry" was one of the first songs completed for the album. the track was produced by jackson and kelly. outside of the united states, the song was released in december 2001 as the second single from "invincible", under epic records. the single was released with two b-side tracks, "shout" and "streetwalker". "shout" was a previously unreleased song that was originally intended for "invincible", but was replaced at the last moment by "you are my life". "streetwalker" had previously appeared as a track on the 2001 special edition of jackson's seventh studio album, "bad". like "shout", it was replaced last minute by "another part of me". the themes of "cry" are world issues such as isolation, war, and brotherhood. conceived just days after 9/11, it also suggests if everyone pulls together as one, then they make a change to the world, with jackson singing, "you can change the world/i can't do it by myself". music critic mark brown of "rocky mountain news" felt that jackson cries the lyrics "i can't do it by myself". the song's lyrics and themes are similar to the ones in jackson's 1988 single "man in the mirror" and his 1992 single "heal the world". "cry" is composed in the key of a major and the song's time signature is common time. "cry" has a moderate metronome of eighty four beats per minute. the single is built in the chord progression of a–g/a–a–a/g in the verses and a–a/g–d–a in the chorus. the sheet music indicates the vocal range spans a3 to g5. jason elias of allmusic describes "cry" as a moody and reflective piece of material reminiscent of jackson's quincy jones-produced ballads for "bad", and indicates the song's themes are those of alienation and sorrow rather than love. he believes the strength of the strings, the competent backing vocals, and the keyboard figures prevent the listener from convulsing with laughter at jackson's "oh-so-pained delivery" and interjections of "hold on" or "oh my!" jon pareles of "the new york times" called the track the "change-the-world-song" and wrote that the single "applies its grand buildup to one of pop's strangest utopian schemes," which was asking everyone to cry at the same time, at which point jackson may answer their prayers. catherine halaby of "yale daily news" felt that the song is a "less triumphant use of a contemporary's input" on the album. "nme" music critic mark beaumont believed that jackson "starts banging creepily on about" the lyrics which pertain to saving the children. frank kogan of the "village voice" noted that while "cry" and another song from "invincible" ("speechless") are "very pretty", they give the impression that jackson's "standing sideways, so as to let the beauty slide off him." "los angeles times" staff writer robert hilburn wrote that the track "fills the social commentary role" of jackson's "man in the mirror" (1988), while "hartford courant" rock music critic roger catlin believed that the single is a redux to jackson's "heal the world" (1991). "newsday" staff writer glenn gamboa said that the song was "equally average" to other tracks on "invincible". james hunter of "rolling stone" magazine wrote that r. kelly "more or less succeeds with the kind of life affirming number" on the single. jim farber of new york's "daily news" wrote that in "cry", jackson "goes into his healing-the-world shtick, though rarely has he been this condescending about his role as universal savior." "chicago tribune" rock music critics greg kot believed that r. kelly "reprises the formula of his big gospel-stoked anthem" ("i believe i can fly") on the track. a journalist for "the wichita eagle" wrote that jackson "shines on the sincere ballads" such as "cry", "heartbreaker" and "speechless". pop music critic thor christensen of the "dallas morning news" described the single as being the musician's "latest batch of inspirational cotton candy." francisco cangiano of "university wire" noted that the overall good songs from "invincible" are "heartbreaker," "cry" and "speechless." pamela davis and gina vininetto of "st. petersburg times" called the song "hubris- filled" and said that it was full of jackson's "freaky messiah-savior complex." "cry" was released as a single outside of the united states, but it ranked at the bottom of "billboard" music charts for three weeks within the country, peaking at number one at bubbling under r&b/hip-hop singles. unlike previous singles released from "invincible" that charted internationally, "cry" was a moderate commercial success worldwide. "cry" debuted at number twenty five, its peak position, on december 22, 2001, on the uk singles chart. the single remained on the country's chart for four consecutive weeks from december 2001 to january 2002, before falling out of the top 100 positions. the track debuted at number thirty seven on december 12, and peaked at number thirty in the succeeding week on the french singles chart. the song debuted at its peak position, number forty three, on december 12, on the australian singles chart. it only remained on the country's chart for one week. "cry" did not chart on belgian ultratip singles chart, but did chart on the belgian wallonia music chart, debuting at number thirty seven on december 15, and peaking at number thirty one on january 12, 2002. "cry" charted on the swedish singles chart for five consecutive weeks. having debuted at number fifty on december 21, and peaked at number forty eight the following week. the single spent the next four weeks fluctuating down the chart. the track peaked at number forty two on the swiss singles chart, and remained on the country's chart for six weeks. the single's most commercially successful charting territory was denmark. although the track only remained on the singles chart for one week, it managed to chart within the top 20, peaking at number sixteen. the single's least successful chart territory was austria. having debuted on the country's singles chart at its peak position, number sixty five on december 16, in the succeeding week the track charted at number seventy one and fell out of the top 100 positions the following week. regarding the song's chart performance, halstead and cadman wrote that it was a "setback for sure, but not a major one" for jackson. "cry" was promoted by a music video, or "short film," as jackson would refer to it. the video was directed by photographer nick brandt, who had previously directed "earth song" (1995), "childhood" (1995) and "stranger in moscow" (1996), all of which were featured on jackson's "" album. the video was filmed in six different locations, all were filmed in california. people featured in the video included members of a real life gospel group. the video begins with dozens of people of different ages, ethnicities and races holding hands. long lines of people were stretched over mountains, across highways, in a forest and on the beach. everyone stands in silence for a majority of the video. following the bridge, everyone begins singing the chorus. towards the final chorus, the group collectively clap their hands along with the song, taking hands once more as the song ends. "cry" is the only michael jackson video to be included on an enhanced cd of the single. "cry" was issued as a single against jackson's original intentions to release "unbreakable." (the same situation applied with the release of "you rock my world" months prior.) filmed in the weeks after 9/11, jackson was too nervous to travel to the shoot in northern california. when jackson saw the rough cut of the video, he and the director, nick brandt, agreed that the video was stronger without jackson in it. craig halstead and chris cadman, authors of the book "michael jackson: the solo years", believe that jackson's absence from the video "did little to promote it." "shout" was recorded within the album sessions and left off the album while "streetwalker" from circa 1986 was the musical coda for the way you make me feel. zeus was a particle detector that operated on the hera ("hadron elektron ring anlage") particle accelerator at desy, hamburg. it began running together with hera in 1992 and was functional until hera was decommissioned in june 2007. the scientific collaboration behind zeus consisted of about 400 physicists from 56 institutes in 17 countries. the zeus detector comprised many components, including a depleted uranium plastic-scintillator calorimeter, a central tracking detector (which is a wire chamber), a silicon microvertex detector and muon chambers. in addition, a solenoid provides a magnetic field. the zeus experiment studied the internal structure of the proton through measurements of deep inelastic scattering by colliding leptons (electrons or positrons) with proton in the interaction point of zeus. these measurements were also used to test and study the standard model of particle physics, as well as searching for particles beyond the standard model. desy was founded in 1959 and started colliding electron beams in 1964 in the desy experiment. since then, it has been a highly regarded center for particle physics. the design effort for zeus can be traced back to 1982, a letter of intent was submitted in 1985, and the hera collider began operation in 1992. the last electron–proton collisions at zeus were recorded on 30 june 2007. the other multi-purpose experiment at the hera collider was the competing h1 experiment. since may 2012, the former zeus detector hall has been used as a lab space for the international european xfel project. the main components of the zeus detector were the tracking components, the calorimeter and the muon detectors. the zeus calorimeter was a uranium scintillator based sampling calorimeter and divided into 3 main sections: the bcal (barrel calorimeter), fcal (forward calorimeter), and rcal (rear calorimeter). each section was subdivided transversely into towers, and longitudinally into emc (electro-magnetic calorimeter) or hac (hadronic calorimeter). the smallest subdivision in the calorimeter was called a cell. each cell was read-out by two photomultiplier tubes (pmt), which helped ensure that there were no holes in the coverage if one of the two pmts failed. uranium was chosen as an absorber so that the calorimeter would be compensating. electrons and photons deposit energy differently from hadrons, but in a compensating calorimeter the response (e) for an electromagnetic cascade is equal to the response (h) for a hadronic cascade of the same energy (i.e. ). in the zeus calorimeter neutral pions interacted with uranium atoms to produce slow moving neutrons which were captured by the scintillator and increased the hadronic signal. another advantage of using uranium as the absorber was that the natural radioactivity allowed the calorimeter's sensitivity to be conveniently monitored. a lithosere (a sere originating on rock) is a plant succession that begins life on a newly exposed rock surface, such as one left bare as a result of glacial retreat, tectonic uplift as in the formation of a raised beach, or volcanic eruptions. for example, the lava fields of eldgjá in iceland where laki and katla fissures erupted in the year 935 and the solidified lava has, over time, begun to form a lithosere. pioneer species are the first organisms that colonise an area, of which lithoseres are an example. they will typically be very hardy ("i.e.", they will be xerophytes, wind-resistant or cold-resistant). in the case of a lithosere the pioneer species will be cyanobacteria and algae, which create their own food and water—"i.e.", they are autotrophic and so do not require any external nutrition (except sunlight). for example, the first lithosere observed after the volcanic explosion of krakatoa was algae. other examples of lithoseres include communities of mosses and lichens, as they are extremely resilient and are capable of surviving in areas without soil. as more mosses and lichens colonize the area, they, along with natural elements such as wind and frost shattering, begin to weather the rock down. this over time creates more soil, leading to increased water retention. early on, when there is little water, lichens dominate as they are more suited to a lack of water; but as water retention increases, mosses become more dominant as they are faster growing, and these further break the rocks down. the amount of soil is also increased by the decaying mosses and lichens. this improves the fertility of the soil as humus is increased, allowing grasses and ferns to colonise. over time, flowering plants will emerge, followed by shrubs. as the soil gets progressively deeper, larger and more advanced plants are able to grow. this is the case in surtsey, a "new", small volcanic island located off the south coast of iceland. surtsey was "created" in the 1960s and currently its plant succession has reached the stage where ferns and grasses have begun to start growing in the south of the island where the lava cooled first. as the plant succession develops further, trees start to appear. the first trees (or pioneer trees) that appear are typically fast growing trees such as birch, willow or rowan. in turn these will be replaced by slow growing, larger trees such as ash and oak. this is the climax community on a lithosere, defined as the point where a plant succession does not develop any further—it reaches a delicate equilibrium with the environment, in particular the climate. in the off chance of a phenomenon which effectively removes most of the lifeforms in these areas, the resultant landscape is considered to be a "disclimax", where there is a loss of the previous climax community. factors which interrupt succession include: human intervention (plagioclimax), change in relief of land (topoclimax), change in animal species (biotic climax) or change in soil such as an increase in acidity (edaphic climax) . in most cases, should the area be left to regenerate as normal when the limiting factor is removed, the area eventually becomes a "climax community" again (secondary succession). somerville and ross (edith somerville and violet florence martin, writing under the name martin ross) were an irish writing team, perhaps most famous for their series of books that were made into the tv series "the irish r.m.". the television series is based on stories drawn from: all three books are out of copyright and electronic texts can be found on the internet archive. the various stories concern the life of an anglo-irish former british army officer recently appointed as a resident magistrate (r.m.) in ireland, which at that stage was still wholly a part of the united kingdom of great britain and ireland, some years before its partition into the irish free state (now the republic of ireland) and northern ireland. somerville and ross also wrote other work together, including the novel "the real charlotte" (1894). even after the death of ross in 1915, somerville continued to write and publish stories under their joint names, claiming that the two were still in contact. "the big house of inver", a novel of 1925, falls into that category. see the articles on the individual authors for a more complete listing. a patriot for me is a 1965 play by the english playwright john osborne, based on the true story of alfred redl. it was notable for being denied a licence for performance by the censor of the time. the play depicts redl, a homosexual in the austro-hungarian intelligence service in the 1890s, as he is blackmailed by the russians into a series of treasonous betrayals. its dramatic climax, and the scene that most excited the censor, is the drag ball, in which members of the upper echelons of viennese society appear in drag. mary mccarthy, the american novelist, wrote in "the observer" that the play's "chief merit is to provide work for a number of homosexual actors, or normal actors who can pass as homosexual". "a patriot for me" remains rarely performed because of the large cast required. when the royal court theatre produced "a patriot for me" in 1965, it was forced to change from a public theatre to a private members' club. the play was deemed too sexually transgressive by the lord chamberlain's office, and denied a licence for performance. the royal court suffered a considerable financial loss because of this denial. george devine, founder of the english stage company, was performing in this play when he died of a heart attack. a musical adaptation of "a patriot for me", with music by laurence rosenthal, was produced on broadway in 1969. the play was an influence on the later film "colonel redl". the ss90 was a british sports car first built by ss cars ltd in coventry, england in 1935. in 1945 the company changed its name to jaguar cars ltd. the car used a six-cylinder side-valve standard engine of 2663 cc with an output of . the engine differed from the one used in the ordinary cars by having dural connecting rods, an aluminium cylinder head with 7:1 compression ratio, and twin rag carburettors. at in length the chassis was a shortened version of the one used on the ss 1, and was also supplied by standard. suspension was by half-elliptical springs all round, with an underslung back axle. the braking system was bendix. the cars rapidly gained attention for their elegant sporting styling, but were not well regarded by the sporting fraternity as their performance did not match their appearance. true sports car performance had to wait for the ss 100, which had similar styling and suspension but an engine fitted with an overhead-valve cylinder head. the ss 90 does not seem to have been tested independently by any magazines, therefore contemporary performance figures are unknown, but it was widely believed to be capable of reaching . in 1932 the basic tourer cost £395. twenty-three were made. the car was long and wide and weighed typically . when leaving the factory it originally fitted 5.50 × 18 dunlop tyres on 18 inch wire wheels. the prototype ss 90, arw395, was owned by hugh kennard from 1938 until at least november 1940. 23 were built, of which 16 survive; the prototype is one of the surviving cars. kempton park racecourse is a horse racing track together with a licensed entertainment and conference venue in sunbury-on-thames, surrey, england, 16 miles south-west of charing cross, london and on a border of greater london. the site has (0.85 km²) of flat grassland surrounded by woodland with two lakes in its centre. its entrance borders kempton park railway station which was created for racegoers on a branch line from london waterloo, via clapham junction. it has adjoining inner and outer courses for flat and fenced racing. among its races, the king george vi chase takes place on boxing day, a grade 1 national hunt chase which is open to horses aged four years or older. the racecourse was the idea of 19th-century businessman (and conservative party agent) s. h. hyde, who was enjoying a carriage drive in the country when he came across kempton manor and park for sale. hyde leased the grounds as tenant in 1872 and six years later in july 1878 kempton opened as a racecourse. this was the feudal lord's demesne of a manor recorded in the domesday book and has had at least four variant names but though early victorian gateposts exist, no buildings of the manor house remain. the site briefly closed (2 may 2005 – 25 march 2006) to reopen with a new all-weather polytrack (synthetic material) main track and floodlighting to enable racing at all light levels and all but the most severe bad weather. flat racing from 2006 is run on the synthetic track so the historic "jubilee course", a mile long spur which joined the main track by the home bend, used for the "jubilee handicap" which parred the cambridgeshire and the stewards' cup in seniority, was abandoned. it is now overgrown for racing; however, it joins the outskirts of the park as part of the green belt. on 10 january 2017 the jockey club announced the closure of the 230-acre site by 2021 for a total of £500  million investment programme over a 10-year period that was submitted for consideration following the local authority's 'call for sites' to address unmet local housing needs. the plan includes the move of some important jumps races like the king george vi chase and christmas hurdle to the sandown park racecourse with the other jumps fixtures to be spread around other jockey club-owned racecourses throughout the country, while the all-weather track to be replaced by a new artificial track to be built at newmarket. kempton park stages national hunt racing (with fences) and flat racing, with the most famous race being the king george vi chase held every boxing day, a prestigious grade 1 race. associated, the kauto star novices' chase (formerly the feltham novices' chase) also takes place on boxing day, a grade 1 race. with similar challenges, past winners of the kauto star novices' chase and of the king george vi chase include kauto star and long run; the following day is the desert orchid chase, a grade 2 race. approximately the last weekend of february hosts the 888sport handicap chase. early september hosts the sirenia stakes major race day. in addition to racing, the site is home to a weekly market on thursdays, holds an antiques market on the second and last tuesday of every month and seasonal wedding fairs. reception areas and two restaurants can be booked for private hospitality or celebrations. boxes are used for meetings and race days. upper tiers of the grandstand and boxes have views toward sandown park's esher and oxshott ridge and the north downs range of hills. woodland and parkland forms the backdrop from the grandstand. the horse "blue warrior" strayed and fell into kempton park's centre-course lake having jumped before the start of the 19.20 on 14 january 2009. the rescue operation to get the horse out of the lake caused the race to be delayed by 15 minutes, with the horse rescued and sustaining a minor cut to his leg. the racecourse has a purpose-built railway station, on the london waterloo to shepperton line. for racegoers not travelling via the capital, and including the direct thameslink from bedford to brighton, a junction station on this short line is at clapham junction and for services on lines from reading and windsor to waterloo, a change can be made at twickenham followed by nearby teddington. the a308 passes by the racecourse and so does the a316 that becomes the m3 motorway. free parking is available for visitors. in mathematics, plane geometry may refer to the geometry of a two-dimensional geometric object called a plane. most times it

relies on bounce and swing, and performed consistently during his tenure with zimbabwe, taking 38 wickets in just 26 matches at a healthy average of 29.34. he was one of many talented white zimbabweans to leave the team due to the situation of the zcu and the country, to pursue careers in english domestic cricket, where he has represented gloucestershire and middlesex before joining leicestershire for the 2013 season. ireland made his odi debut against new zealand at bulawayo on 24 august 2005 where he took the wickets of both stephen fleming and chris cairns. he performed consistently with the ball, being one of the few prospects on the zimbabwe team, after the exodus of players like gavin ewing, andy blignaut, henry olonga, andy flower and tatenda taibu. however, even with his performances zimbabwe cricket continued on its downturn, as they gradually became weaker and weaker as an international side. he toured the west indies with the zimbabwean team but broke his left hand in practice. although he recovered, he struggled to adapt to the west indian conditions, as zimbabwe were thrashed 5-0 by the hosts. a regular member of the side in 2006, he was selected in the 2007 cricket world cup squad and returned to the caribbean, taking a wicket in each of his games. zimbabwe was at an all-time low at this point in time, and ireland, soon after zimbabwe were eliminated from the 2007 cricket world cup, retired from international cricket. he explained his decision in an exclusive interview with cricinfo. he felt he was wasting his talents for a poor side, in a country in political turmoil, and felt that he should pursue his cricket elsewhere, and so anthony ireland went to england. playing in the united kingdom, ireland enjoyed a successful season in 2004 for club teams belvoir cc and belton park cc, before returning to zimbabwe. he played for the pca masters against gloucestershire in a game before the england vs pakistan twenty20 international, at bristol. he has since played for thornbury cricket club in the south west of england. retiring from international cricket after the 2007 world cup, he signed a two-year deal with gloucestershire under the kolpak agreement. with gloucestershire, he has had a number of significant impacts with the ball, taking 7/36 against leicestershire, and match figures of 7/110 against the same side, while taking wickets whenever called upon. he has since been a regular in the gloucestershire team, along with the likes of jon lewis and steve kirby. he recently returned briefly to zimbabwe to play in the twenty/20 tournament for the southern rocks, taking 3 wickets in his only game. he signed for middlesex in 2010 in a contract that would take him to the end of the 2013 season. he was not able to gain a regular spot in the middlesex team and returned to gloucestershire on 20 august 2012. on 7 march 2013, ireland won a one-year deal with leicestershire. after the 2013 season, he was awarded a further season long contract. 5. ireland penalised for beamer | cricdb fiscal policy is considered any changes the government makes to the national budget in order to influence a nation's economy. the approach to economic policy in the united states was rather laissez-faire until the great depression. the government tried to stay away from economic matters as much as possible and hoped that a balanced budget would be maintained. prior to the great depression, the economy did have economic downturns and some were quite severe. however, the economy tended to self-correct so the laissez faire approach to the economy tended to work. president franklin d. roosevelt first instituted fiscal policies in the united states in the new deal. the first experiments did not prove to be very effective, but that was in part because the great depression had already lowered the expectations of business so drastically. the great depression struck countries in the late 1920s and continued throughout the entire 1930's. it affected some countries more than others, and the effects in the us were detrimental. in 1933, 25 percent of all workers were unemployed in america. many families starved or lost their homes. some tried traveling to the west to find work, also to no avail. the great depression showed the american population that there was a growing need for the government to manage economic affairs. the size of the federal government began rapidly expanding in the 1930s, growing from 553,000 paid civilian employees in the late 1920s to 953,891 employees in 1939. the budget grew substantially as well. in 1939, federal receipts of the administrative budget were 5.50 percent of gross national product, gnp, while federal expenditures were 9.77 percent of gnp. these numbers were up significantly from 1930, when federal receipts averaged 3.80 percent of gnp while expenditures averaged 3.04 percent of gnp. another contributor to changing the role of government in the 1930s was president franklin delano roosevelt. fdr was important because of his creation of the new deal, which was a program that would offer relief, recovery, and reform to the american nation. in terms of relief, new organizations, such as the works progress administration, saved many u.s. lives. the reform aspect was indeed the most influential in the new deal, for it forever changed the role of government in the u.s. economy. in essence, it was the beginning of fiscal policy. it was the first time that the government took an active role in attempting to secure american individuals from unseen drastic changes in the market. although the relief and reform aspects of the new deal proved to be effective for americans, recovery was an issue that did not. unemployment rates remained very high throughout the 1930s. it was still difficult for americans to find jobs. this problem diminished when the government called for many industries to convert to military production in the early 1940s in order to prepare for world war ii. world war ii forced the government to run huge deficits, or spend more than they were economically generating, in order to keep up with all of the production the us military needed. by running deficits, the economy recovered, and america rebounded from its drought of unemployment. the military strategy of full employment had a huge benefit: the government’s massive deficits were used to pay for the war, and ended the great depression. this phenomenon set the standard and showed just how necessary it was for the government play an active role in fiscal policy. the employment act of 1946 was enacted by the government to keep the economy from plunging back into a post-war depression. the act declared the continuing policy and responsibility of the federal government to use all reasonable means to promote maximum (not full) employment, production, and purchasing power. in addition to focusing on keeping unemployment rates low, the act called for the creation of the council of economic advisors. this council had the task of assisting the president in appointing members to the joint economic committee in the united states congress and continuing to develop the role of fiscal policy in the united states. the united states government has tended to spend more money than it takes in, indicated by a national debt that was close to $1 billion at the beginning of the 20th century. the budget for most of the 20th century followed a pattern of deficits during wartime and economic crises, and surpluses during periods of peacetime economic expansion. in 1971, at bretton woods, the us went off the gold standard allowing the dollar to float. shortly after that, the price of oil was pegged to gold rather than the dollar by opec. the 70s were marked by oil shocks, recessions and inflation in the us. from fiscal years 1970 to 1997; although the country was nominally at peace during most of this time, the federal budget deficit accelerated, topping out (in absolute terms) at $290 billion for 1992. in contrast, from fy 1997–2001, gross revenues exceeded expenditures and a surplus resulted. however, it has been argued that this 'balanced budget' only constituted a surplus in the public debt (or on-budget), in which the treasury department borrowed increased tax revenue from intragovernmental debt holdings (namely the social security trust fund), thus adding more interest on treasury bonds. in effect, the four year 'surplus' was only in public debt holdings, while the national debt outstanding increased every fiscal year (the lowest deficit in fy 2000 was $17.9 billion) however, after a combination of the dot-com bubble burst, the september 11 attacks, a dramatic increase in government spending (primarily in defense for military operations in afghanistan and iraq) and a $1.35 trillion tax cut, the budget returned to a deficit basis. the budget went from a $236 billion surplus in fiscal year 2000 to a $413 billion deficit in fiscal year 2004. in fiscal year 2005, the deficit began to shrink due to a sharp increase in tax revenue. by 2007, the deficit was reduced to $161 billion; less than half of what it was in 2004 and the budget appeared well on its way to balance once again. fiscal policy is the application of taxation and government spending to influence economic performance. the main aim of adopting fiscal policy instruments is to promote sustainable growth in the economy and reduce the poverty levels within the community. in the past, fiscal policy instruments were used solve the economic crisis such as the great recession and during the financial crisis. they are effective in jump-starting growth, supporting the financial systems, and mitigating the economic crisis on the vulnerable groups especially the low-income earners and the poor. the most commonly applied fiscal policy instruments are government spending and taxes. the government increases or reduces its budget allocation on public expenditure to ensure vital goods and services are provided to the citizens. for instance, expenditure on infrastructural projects not only increases access to more roads but also creates jobs to the public and also increases the amount money in circulation thereby spurring economic growth. on the other hand, reduction of income and value added taxes increase the amount of disposable income that individuals direct to consumption and investment expenditures. increasing income taxes reduce disposable income while it increases the tax base for public spending. fiscal policy instruments are effective in poverty reduction and promotion of the community living standards. increasing public expenditure ensures that vital public goods and services are availed to the public. moreover, it helps in creation of employment opportunities, triggering economic growth, and ensuring sustainable growth and development. tax reduction and cash transfers’ helps in increasing disposable income and transferring resources from the rich to the poor in the community. fiscal policy instruments can be used to achieve balanced growth in an economy. federal policies are system of laws, course of actions, regulatory measures, and priorities set by the federal government in guiding decisions on issues relating to public interest. in most cases, public policy decisions are carried out by the group of people who represent the public, different interests, and beliefs. the policies define all the actions that the federal government take in order to address issues like security, education, unemployment, poverty reduction among others. federal policies assist the federal government in conducting national affairs responsibly. for instance, they inform the government on where to prioritize their funding and support in order to achieve the macroeconomic objectives. for instance, the government is charged with the responsibility of providing education, security, and healthcare. increased funding on these key priority areas helps in improving public access to the services thereby improving the standards of living of the citizens. assuring access to the services and sustaining their provision helps in poverty reduction. policies like unemployment insurance ensures that citizens are insured and unemployment benefits given to eligible workers who have lost their jobs out of their control. policies helps in cushioning the public against the eventualities in the labor market that may be due to competition or economic performance hence adversely affecting the average citizens. federal policies cuts across all sectors in the economy and seeks to link the operations of the federal government and state governments in achieving sustained growth and development, poverty reduction, provision of basic goods and services to the citizens. in late 2007 to early 2008, the economy would enter a particularly bad recession as a result of high oil and food prices, and a substantial credit crisis leading to the bankruptcy and eventual federal take over of certain large and well established mortgage providers. in an attempt to fix these economic problems, the united states federal government passed a series of costly economic stimulus and bailout packages. as a result of this, in fiscal year 2008, the deficit would increase to $455 billion and is projected to continue to increase dramatically for years to come due in part to both the severity of the current recession and the high-spending fiscal policy the federal government has adopted to help combat the nation's economic woes. as a result, the federal budget deficit increased to $1.2 trillion in fiscal year 2009, or 9.8% of the gross domestic product (gdp). over subsequent years both the economy and the deficit recovered to some extent, and the government enacted several laws with significant budget impact, including the affordable care act in 2010, the budget control act in 2011, and the american taxpayer relief act in 2012. the congressional budget office projected a $534 billion deficit in fiscal year 2016, or 2.9 percent of gdp. if current policy remains unchanged, the cbo projects the deficit will increase to 4.9 percent of gdp by 2026, or a cumulative total of $9.3 trillion over the period. as a percentage of the gdp, within the context of the national economy as a whole, the highest deficit was run during fiscal year 1946 at nearly 30% of gdp, but that rebounded to a surplus by 1947. by contrast, deficits during the 1980s reached 5–6% of gdp and the deficit for 2005 was 2.6% of gdp, close to the post-world war ii average. in 2009, the deficit was 9.8% of gdp, the highest since world war ii. solanco school district is a midsized, rural public school district

individualized to meet student needs. at no cost to the parents, these services are provided in compliance with state and federal law; and are reasonably calculated to yield meaningful educational benefit and student progress . to identify students who may be eligible for special education services, various screening activities are conducted on an ongoing basis. these screening activities include: review of group-based data (cumulative records, enrollment records, health records, report cards, ability and achievement test scores); hearing, vision, motor, and speech/language screening; and review by the special education administration. when screening results suggest that the student may be eligible, the district seeks parental consent to conduct a multidisciplinary evaluation.

individuals with disabilities education act (idea) funds and state appropriations. idea funds are appropriated to the state on an annual basis and distributed through intermediate units (ius) to school districts, while state funds are distributed directly to the districts. total funds that are received by school districts are calculated through a formula. the pennsylvania department of education oversees four appropriations used to fund students with special needs: special education; approved private schools; pennsylvania chartered schools for the deaf and blind; and early intervention. the pennsylvania special education funding system assumes that 16% of the district's students receive special education services. it also assumes that each student's needs accrue the same level of costs. over identification of students, in order to increase state funding, has been an issue in the commonwealth. some districts have more than 20% of the students receiving special education services while others have 10% supported through special education. the state requires each public school district and charter school to have a three-year special education plan to meet the unique needs of its special education students. in 2012, the obama administration's us department of education issued a directive that schools include students with disabilities in extracurricular

permitted to raise property taxes above their annual index unless they either: allow voters to vote by referendum or they receive an exception from the pennsylvania department of education. the base index for the school year is published by the pde in the fall of each year. each individual school district's act 1 index can be adjusted higher, depending on a number of factors, such as local property values and the personal income of district residents. originally, act 1 or 2006 included 10 exceptions: increasing pension costs, increases in special education costs, a catastrophe like a fire or flood, increase in health insurance costs for contracts in effect in 2006 or dwindling tax bases. the base index is the average of the percentage increase in the statewide average weekly wage, as determined by the pa department of labor and industry, for the preceding calendar year and the percentage increase in the employment cost index for elementary and secondary schools, as determined by the bureau of labor statistics in the u.s. department of labor, for the previous 12-month period ending june 30. for a school district with a market value/personal income aid ratio (mv/pi ar) greater than 0.4000, its index equals the base index multiplied by the sum of .75 and its mv/pi ar for the current year. in june 2011, the pennsylvania general assembly eliminated six exceptions to the act 1 index. several exceptions were maintained: 1) costs to pay interest and principal on indebtedness incurred prior to september 4, 2004 for act 72 schools and prior to june 27, 2006 for non-act 72 schools; 2) costs to pay interest and principal on electoral debt; 3) costs incurred in providing special education programs and services (beyond what is already paid by the state); and 4) costs due to increases of more than the index in the school's share of payments to psers (pa school employees pension fund) taking into account the state mandated psers contribution rate. the school district adjusted index for the solanco school district 2006-2007 through 2011-2012. for the 2013-14 budget year, solanco school board applied for one exception to exceed the act 1 index - teacher pension costs. for 2013-2014, 311 pennsylvania public school districts adopted a resolution certifying that tax rates would not be increased above their index; 171 school districts adopted a

above their index or 2) a preliminary budget in february. a school district adopting the resolution may not apply for referendum exceptions or ask voters for a tax increase above the inflation index. a specific timeline for these decisions is published annually, by the pennsylvania department of education. according to a state report, for the 2011-2012 school year budgets, 247 school districts adopted a resolution certifying that tax rates would not be increased above their index; 250 school districts adopted a preliminary budget. of the 250 school districts that adopted a preliminary budget, 231 adopted real estate tax rates that exceeded their index. tax rate increases in the other 19 school districts that adopted a preliminary budget did not exceed the school district's index. of the districts who sought exceptions: 221 used the pension costs exemption and 171 sought a special education costs exemption. only 1 school district sought an exemption for nonacademic school construction project, while 1 sought an exception for electoral debt for school construction. the solanco school board applied for two exceptions to exceed the act 1 index for the budget in 2011:

revenue collected on the casino slots in the previous year. in the district, 7,266 property owners applied for the tax relief. in lancaster county, the highest tax relief went to lancaster school district which was set at $425. the highest property tax relief, among pennsylvania school districts, went to the homesteads of chester upland school district of delaware county which received $632 per approved homestead in 2012. chester-upland school district has consistently been the top recipient since the program's inception. the relief was subtracted from the total annual school property tax bill. property owners apply for the relief through the county treasurer's office. farmers can qualify for a farmstead exemption on building used for agricultural purposes. the farm must be at least and must be the primary residence of the owner. farmers can qualify for both the homestead exemption and the farmstead exemption. in pennsylvania, the homestead exclusion reduces the assessed values of homestead properties, reducing the property tax on these homes. the homestead exclusion allows homeowners real property tax relief of up to one half of the median assessed value of homesteads in the taxing jurisdiction (county, school district, city, borough, or township). additionally, the pennsylvania property tax/rent rebate program is provided for low income pennsylvanians aged 65 and older; widows and widowers aged 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. the income limit is $35,000 for homeowners. the maximum rebate for both homeowners and renters

for the purpose of becoming reconciled to the gentlemen of port royal. but, while not hostile to the jansenists, dupin's intellectual attraction was in another direction; he was the disciple of jean launoy, a learned critic and a gallican. he became a pupil of the sorbonne, and received the degree of b.d. in 1680 and that of d.d. in 1684. about 1684 dupin conceived the idea of his "nouvelle bibliothèque des auteurs ecclésiastiques ", the first volume of which appeared in 1686. in it he treated simultaneously biography, literary criticism, and the history of dogma; in this he was a pioneer leaving far behind him all previous efforts, catholic or protestant, which were still under the influence of the scholastic method. he was also the first to publish such a collection in a modern language. unfortunately he was young and worked rapidly. in this way errors crept into his writings and his productions were violently attacked. mathieu petit-didier, a benedictine monk, published an anonymous volume of "remarques sur la bibliothèque des auteurs ecclésiastiques de m. du pin" (paris, 1691), and this was followed by two other volumes to which the author's name was appended (paris, 1692 and 1696). dupin answered him in his fifth volume and petit-didier responded in the opening part of his second volume of "remarques". petit-didier's observations often seem inspired by prejudices of his time. thus dupin had placed st. macarius the egyptian in the 4th century, to which indeed he rightly belongs. having discovered semipelagianism in this author's works, petit-didier concluded that macarius should come after pelagius and st. augustine (ii, 198). in reality similar ideas had been professed by many before st. augustine's time. a more formidable enemy appeared in bossuet, who, during a public thesis at the collège de navarre in 1692, condemned dupin's audacity. dupin answered him and bossuet appealed to the civil authority, denouncing dupin to the chancellor of france, louis boucherat and to archbishop de harlay of paris. bossuet simply enumerated the points in the "bibliothèque" of which he disapproved. these concerned original sin, purgatory, the canonicity of the sacred scriptures, the eternity of hell's torments, the veneration of saints and of their relics, the adoration of the cross, grace, the pope and the bishops, lent, divorce, the celibacy of the clergy, tradition, the eucharist, the theology of the trinity, and the council of nicæa. he demanded a censure and a retractation. like petit-didier, bossuet would not admit that any of the greek or latin fathers differed from st. augustine on the subject of grace, nor that this matter could be called subtle, delicate, and abstract. between dupin and bossuet there was a still wider difference and bossuet wrote, "the liberty m. dupin takes of so harshly condemning the greatest men of the church should, in general, not be tolerated". on the other hand, bossuet strongly contended that heretics could not be too severely dealt with: "it is dangerous to call attention to passages that manifest the firmness of these people without also indicating wherein this firmness has been overrated: otherwise they are credited with a moral steadfastness which elicits sympathy and leads to their being excused". dupin submitted, but was nevertheless condemned by the archbishop of paris (14 april 1696). dupin continued his "bibliothèque", which was put on the "index" long after his death (10 may 1757), though other works of his were condemned at an earlier date. he was also criticized by richard simon, though the two had similar views and employed similar methods so that when bossuet was writing the "défense de la tradition et des saints pères" (which did not appear, however, until 1743), he included both in his invectives against the "haughty critics" who inclined to rabbinism and the errors of socinus. although dupin spoke favourably of arnauld and signed the "cas de conscience", he was not a jansenist. rather, on these matters he shared the opinions of launoy, who "had found a way to be at once both demi-pelagian and jansenist". dupin was pre-eminently a gallican. it was probably on this account that louis xiv had him exiled to châtellerault, on the occasion of the "cas de conscience". dupin retracted and returned, but his chair in the college of france was irretrievably lost. later dubois, who aspired to the cardinalate and sought therefore the favour of rome, made similar accusations against dupin. in 1718 he entered into a correspondence with william wake, archbishop of canterbury, with a view to a union of the english and gallican churches; being suspected of projecting a change in the dogmas of the church, his papers were seized in february 1719, but nothing incriminating was found. the same zeal for union induced him, during the residence of peter the great in france, and at that monarch's request, to draw up a plan for uniting the greek and roman churches. he died at paris on 6 june 1719. etienne jordan, a contemporary who saw him, said: in "the morning he would grow pale over books and in the afternoon over cards in the pleasant company of ladies. his library and adjoining apartment were marvellously well kept." du pin was a voluminous author. besides the "nouvelle bibliothèque ecclésiastique" (58 vols. 8vo with tables), the "remarques" by petit-didier, and the "critique" by r. simon reprinted in holland (19 vols. 4to). it was translated into english and annotated by william wotton in 13 vols. 1692-9. dupin edited the works of gerson (paris, 1703), optatus of mileve (paris, 1700), the psalms with annotations (1691), and published "notes sur le pentateuque" (1701), an abridgment of "l'histoire de l'eglise" (1712), "l'histoire profane" (1714–1716), "l'histoire d'apollonius de tyane" (1705, under the name of m. de clairac), a "traité de la puissance ecclésiastique et temporelle", a commentary on the four articles of the clergy of france (1707), the "bibliothèque universelle des historiens" (1716), numerous works and articles on theology, reprints of former works, etc. dupin was no pedant. in aviation, a tailstrike or tail strike occurs when the tail or empennage of an aircraft strikes the ground or other stationary object. this can happen with a fixed-wing aircraft with tricycle undercarriage, in both takeoff where the pilot rotates the nose up too rapidly, or in landing where the pilot raises the nose too sharply during final approach, often in attempting to land too near the runway threshold. it can also happen during helicopter operations close to the ground, when the tail inadvertently strikes an obstacle. a minor tailstrike incident may not be dangerous in itself, but the aircraft may still be weakened and must be thoroughly inspected and repaired if a more disastrous accident is to be avoided later in its operating life. fixed-wing aircraft with a conventional tail and tricycle undercarriage are vulnerable to tailstrike. those which require a high angle of attack on takeoff or landing are especially so. they may be fitted with a protection device such as a small tailwheel (concorde and the saab draken), tailskid (diamond da20), or reinforced tail bumper. the device may be fixed or retractable. tailstrike incidents are rarely dangerous in themselves, but the aircraft must be thoroughly inspected and repairs may be difficult and expensive if the pressure hull is involved. inadequate inspections and improper repairs to damaged airframes after a tailstrike have been known to cause catastrophic structural failure long after the tailstrike incident following multiple pressurization cycles. below is a list of italian ministers of public

association (nma) is a united states trade organization that lists itself as the voice of the mining industry in washington, d.c. nma was formed in 1995, and has more than 300 corporate members. the national mining association was created in 1995. the organization was formed through the merger of the national coal association (nca) and the american mining congress (amc). these two organizations had represented the mining industry since 1897 (amc) and 1917 (nca). the nma's mission is "to create and maintain a broad base of political support for the mining industry and to help the nation realize the economic and national security benefits of america's domestic mining capability." the objective of the nma is "to engage in and influence the public policy process on the most significant and timely issues that impact our ability to locate, permit, mine, process, transport and utilize the nation's vast coal and mineral resources." the nma serves its membership through the following actions: charles rollin buckalew (december 28, 1821may 19, 1899) was an american lawyer and politician from pennsylvania. he served as a democratic member of the pennsylvania senate for the 16th district from 1851 to 1854 and 1859 to 1860. he also served in the pennsylvania senate for the 13th district from 1858 to 1861 and as minister resident for ecuador from 1858 to 1861. he served as a u.s. senator for pennsylvania from 1863 to 1869, a u.s. representative for pennsylvania's 11th district from 1887 to 1889 and a u.s. representative for pennsylvania's 17th district from 1889 to 1891. buckalew was born in fishing creek township, pennsylvania on december 28, 1821 to john mckinney sr. and martha funston buckalew. he was a graduate of harford academy, susquehanna county, pennsylvania, where he studied law. he was admitted to the bar in 1843. buckalew was the most influential early advocate of proportional representation in the united states. his proposals for a type of voting system known as cumulative voting gained significant support in congress, and he played a central role in the adoption of cumulative voting in several places, including illinois for state legislative elections in 1870, a system that lasted in that state until 1980. buckalew was elected by the pennsylvania general assembly to the u.s. senate in 1863. in a number of speeches, notably in the senate on july 11, 1867; at a large public meeting in philadelphia in november of the same year; before the social science association at philadelphia in october 1870; and in the senate of pennsylvania on march 27, 1871; as well as in the report of the select committee on representative reform of the united states senate, of which be was chairman, buckalew argued persuasively for the use of cumulative voting in the election of representatives in congress, state legislatures, town councils and other bodies. buckalew's bill in the senate would have allowed all the electors of a state to have the number of votes equal to the number of house of representatives members to be elected from that state. the voter could give all his votes to one candidate, or distribute them in any fashion, equally or unequally, among candidates. the candidates with the highest number of votes would be elected. in addition to serving in congress and the pennsylvania state legislature, buckalew was commissioner to exchange ratifications of a treaty with paraguay in 1854; chairman of the democratic state committee in 1857; appointed one of the commissioners to revise the penal code of pennsylvania in 1857; minister resident to the republic of ecuador 1858-1861; unsuccessful candidate for governor of pennsylvania in 1872; and a delegate to the pennsylvania constitutional convention of 1873. he resumed the practice of law when he left congress in 1891, age 69, in bloomsburg, columbia county, where he died on may 19, 1899. he is interred in rosemont cemetery in bloomsburg. buckalew's writings and speeches on cumulative voting were collected in an 1872 book titled "proportional representation". 1872, philadelphia, j. campbell & son. retrieved on 2009-04-01 otahuhu () is a suburb of auckland, new zealand - to the southeast of the cbd, on a narrow isthmus between an arm of the manukau harbour to the west and the tamaki river estuary to the east. the isthmus is the narrowest connection between the north auckland peninsula and the rest of the north island, being only some wide at its narrowest point, between the otahuhu creek and the mangere inlet. as the southernmost suburb of the former auckland city, it is considered part of south auckland. the suburb's name is taken from the māori-language name of a volcanic cone also known as mount richmond. the name refers to "the place of tāhuhu"—an ancestor, tāhuhu-nui-a-rangi, who settled the area. in colloquial speech, locals sometimes shorten the name to "otahu". the suburb was established in 1847 as a fencible settlement, where soldiers were given land with the implied understanding that in wartime, they would be raised as units to defend it (however, the eventual fighting a decade later used professional soldiers instead). most early features from this time have disappeared, however, such as a stone bridge built by the fencibles that had to make way to a widening of great south road. otahuhu was home to the country's first supermarket, and otahuhu college, to which several famous personalities went, including heavyweight boxing champion david tua, former prime minister david lange, and ex-manukau city mayor, sir barry curtis. otahuhu had a local government just like other suburbs of auckland at that time. the local government was called otahuhu borough council, which started in 1912 and merged into auckland city council in 1985, eventually amalgamated into auckland council in november 2010. otahuhu, in its position on a narrow section of the auckland isthmus, is an important part of auckland's southern transportation approaches for both road and rail, containing a combined bus interchange and otahuhu railway station. the new bus-train interchange opened on 29 october 2016 as a joint auckland transport and new zealand transport agency initiative costing nz$28m. ""the station is at the heart of the southern new network", said auckland transport’s chief at metro officer, mark lambert. “auckland is moving towards a more connected network of local feeder services connecting with frequent bus and train services. bus and train transport hubs like otahuhu are at the heart of this transformation."" the old bus interchange, which was badly neglected, and had received increased attention from early 2011 on for vandalism/graffiti prevention measures is now closed and a smaller bus stop has been installed on the main road near the town centre. the importance for transportation extended to pre-european times. the aptly named portage road runs across the isthmus in otahuhu and was used by māori to move their waka (canoes) between the manukau and waitemata harbours for raids and trading. in fact, the area, also known as "te tō waka", was considered the most important portage of all of new zealand. otahuhu nowadays is synonymous with industry and along with its neighbouring suburbs favona, mangere east, mt wellington, penrose and westfield forms an industrial conglomerate zone that spans much of the mangere inlet. the community and town centre flourishes as the crossroad to central and south auckland and is home to a sizable pacific island populace. otahuhu is home to the otahuhu rugby football club and the otahuhu leopards rugby league club. mariano jesús diosomito cuenco (january 16, 1888 – february 25, 1964) was a filipino cebuano politician and writer. cuenco was born in carmen, cebu on january 16, 1888, to mariano albao cuenco (1861–1909) and remedios lópez diosomito. he studied at the colegio de san carlos of cebu, where he graduated in 1904 with the degree of bachelor of arts. he finished law in 1911 at the escuela de derecho (later became the manila law school) and passed the bar examinations in 1913. cuenco entered politics in 1912 when he was elected to the philippine assembly representing the fifth district of cebu. he was re-elected from 1916 to 1928. he ran for the governorship of cebu in 1931 and became the president of the league of provincial governors of the philippines. in 1934, he was elected delegate to the constitutional convention where he was chosen floor leader. cuenco was secretary of public works and communications from 1936 to 1939. he was also appointed acting secretary of the agriculture, commerce and labor departments while serving as secretary of public works and communications in 1938. in 1941, cuenco was elected senator of the philippines but the onset of the second world war prevented that senate from going into session. after the japanese occupation, cuenco was reelected to the senate in 1946. from 1949 to 1951, he served as senate president and chairman of the commission on appointments. his term paved the way for many reforms and his significant contributions resulted in a more efficient legislative body. as a member of the liberal party of incumbent president elpidio quirino, senate president cuenco was defeated in his bid for reelection in the nacionalista party shut-out during the 1951 philippine general election. he ran and regained his seat as a senator once again in 1953 and 1959. he continued serving in the philippine senate until his death in office in 1964. cuenco was also known as a prolific writer. he was the publisher of the spanish–language newspaper "el precursor" of cebu, a newspaper which ran from 1907 until the eve of world war ii. in 1947, he founded "the republic". in 1926, he became a member of the academia filipina correspondiente de la real española de la lengua. he was honored by the spanish government with the decoration gran cruz de isabela la catolica and by the holy see with the decoration "pro ecclesia et pontifice". cuenco also wrote in visayan. "ang republikang pilipinhon", "codigo" and "roma" are among his works. his pen name was "lauro katindog." he was married twice, first to filomena alesna, and years after she died, to rosa cayetano. cuenco died on february 25, 1964 at the age of 76. the funeral service was held in manila north cemetery, in sta. cruz, manila. josé pinto de carvalho santos águas (; 9 november 1930 – 10 december 2000) was a portuguese footballer who played as a striker. he enjoyed a lengthy professional spell with benfica, never scoring less than 18 goals in 12 of his 13 first division seasons. a prolific goalscorer, águas was nicknamed "cabeça de ouro" ("golden head") because of his header skills. born in luanda, portuguese angola, portuguese empire from a white colonial family, águas started his footballing career with local team lusitano do lobito, before moving to s.l. benfica in 1950 where he gained legendary status. with benfica he won the primeira liga five times (1955, 1957, 1960, 1961 and 1963) and the domestic cup seven, also being crowned national league's top scorer on five occasions. in the years previous to eusébio's explosion he was also instrumental in the club's back-to-back european cup conquests, in 1961 against fc barcelona (3–2), and the next season against real madrid (5–3), scoring his team's first goal on both occasions and being club captain; he failed to complete a hat-trick of wins in the competition after the 1–2 defeat to a.c. milan in the 1963 final (he did not play). after leaving benfica, águas, aged 33, played one more season for fk austria wien, retiring the next summer. he died in lisbon, at the age of 70. águas made his debut for portugal on 23 november 1952, in a 1–1 draw with austria, and went on to gain a total of 25 caps while scoring 11 times. his last appearance was on 17 may 1962, a 1–2 defeat against belgium. águas' son, rui, was also a footballer and a striker. he too represented benfica and the national team, as well as fc porto. his daughter, helena maria, known as lena d'água, had a career in pop music as a singer. the nihilist spasm band (nsb) is a canadian noise band formed in 1965 in london, ontario. the band was founded by hugh mcintyre, john clement, john boyle, bill exley, murray favro, archie leitch, art pratten, and greg curnoe. leitch has since retired, curnoe was killed in a bicycle accident in 1992, and mcintyre died of heart failure in 2004. the band members are mostly local artists. they were one of the artists named on the nurse with wound list the term "spasm band" refers to a band that uses homemade instruments. indeed, most of the nsb's instruments are modifications of other instruments, or wholly invented by the members. in addition to the homemade instruments, members are encouraged to improvise. the range of the improvisation is such that instruments are not tuned to each other, tempos and time signatures are not imposed, and the members push the ranges of their instrumentation by engaging in constant innovation and ever-increasing volume over the course of a performance. zev asher's documentary film "what about me: the rise of the nihilist spasm band" premiered at the toronto international film festival in 2000. drawing from the inspiration of finding a copy of the nihilist spasm band's first l.p. "no canada" in the pile of 1970's ephemera in his family's basement; the documentary explores the legacy of the nsb as canadian noise music pioneers. double consciousness is a term describing the internal conflict experienced by subordinated groups in an oppressive society. it was coined by w. e. b. du bois with reference to african american "double consciousness", including his own, and published in the autoethnographic work, "the souls of black folk". the term originally referred to the psychological challenge of "always looking at one's self through the eyes" of a racist white society, and "measuring oneself by the means of a nation that looked back in contempt". the term also referred to du bois's experiences of reconciling his african heritage with an upbringing in a european-dominated society. the term has since been applied to numerous situations of social inequality, notably women living in patriarchal societies. the term originated from an article of du bois's titled "strivings of the negro people", published in the august 1897 issue of the "atlantic monthly". it was later republished and slightly edited under the title "of our spiritual strivings" in his book, "the souls of black folk". du bois describes double consciousness as follows: the idea of double consciousness was important because it illuminated the experiences of black folks living in a world post-slavery, and it set a framework for understanding the positionality of oppressed people in an oppressive world. as a result, it became used to explain the dynamics of gender, colonialism, xenophobia and more alongside race. this theory laid a strong foundation for other critical theorists to expand upon. paul gilroy used theories of culture and race to the study and construction of african american intellectual history. he is known especially for marking a turning point in the study of the african diasporas. his book "the black atlantic: modernity and double consciousness" (1993) introduces the "black atlantic" as a source for cultural construction. gilroy pioneers a shift in contemporary black studies by arguing for a rejection of the notion of a homogeneous nation-state based nationality in favor of analyzing "the atlantic as one single, complex unit of analysis in their discussions of the modern world and use it to produce an explicitly transnational and intercultural perspective". he based this on the atlantic slave trade and marked it as the foundation for the diaspora. he recognized the significance of european and african transnational travel as a foundation for double consciousness. gilroy used du bois's theory of double consciousness to suggest there exists an internal struggle to reconcile being both european and black, which was his main focus in his book. he even characterized the black atlantic by the influence of slave trade "routes" on black identity. he aimed to unify black culture with the connection to the homeland as well the cultural exchanges that occurred afterward. he was also influential in the political black british movement, in which he popularized his theories. gilroy argues that occupying the space between these two dialectal subjectivities is "viewed as a provocative and even oppositional act of political insubordination". this means that for black people across diaspora, thinking of the duality in their identity as one is almost paradoxical and conceptualizing and actualizing this is a move of symbolic resistance in modernity. very similarly to du bois, frantz fanon touched upon the term of double consciousness in his life. in his first book, "black skin, white masks", where he expressed his hopelessness at being neither white nor black. fanon identifies the double consciousness that african americans face and its source; he claimed the cultural and social confusions of african americans were caused by european culture. he gave examples of things that he has encountered that demonstrate the double consciousness. he talks about people who preach about completely conforming to being white and says that they are wrong. he also says that the people who believe that complete rejection of whites are also wrong. he then proceeds to talk about why the african american adopts cultures that are so strange to him. he talks about how when an african american leaves for europe, they come back speaking a language different from their own. he also talks about how african, mostly the wealthiest, tend to have insecurities of not being european enough because they are african. this manifests in buying european furniture and buying european clothes. in addition to this he talks about the way white men talk to african americans and how it contributes to this problem of double consciousness. he says that when a white man talks to an african american man he is changing his language to a way in which a stereotypical black man would talk, similarly to how one would talk to a child, with different language sophistication and slang. he says that this angers the african american because he feels as though he has been categorized and imprisoned into a box from which he cannot escape due to this judgement. he gives an example of a film where this stereotype is portrayed and then talks about how african americans need to be educated to not follow the stereotypes displayed by white culture. stephen greenblatt also uses it to describe the peculiar quality of shakespeare's consciousness in his biography of the bard, "will in the world" (2004). within the last fifteen years, du bois's theory of double consciousness has been revisited to develop a more inclusive concept of triple consciousness. this triple consciousness may include another intersecting identity that impacts someone's social experiences. additional identities that may affect the already present double consciousness experience might include ethnicity or gender. for example, juan flores identified ethnicity as a potential aspect that influences double consciousness by speculating afro-latinos in the u.s. experienced an added layer discrimination that combined skin color with ethnicity and nationality. anna julia cooper similarly references the intersectionality of race and gender within her work "a voice from the south" where she states: "only the black woman can say 'when and where i enter, in the quiet, undisputed dignity of my womanhood, without violence and without suing or special patronage, then and there the whole ... race enters with me". finally, jossianna arroyo explains that triple consciousness brings "spaces, culture, and skin ... [to] recontextualize blackness" in the case of black puerto ricans. just like any other thought in critical race analysis, double consciousness theory cannot be divorced from gender. this is where black feminists have introduced their concept of the triple consciousness. black women not only have to see themselves through the lens of blackness and whiteness, but also through the lens of patriarchy. whenever they are in black spaces, women still have to situate themselves in the context of patriarchy. whenever that they are in fem spaces, they must still situate themselves in the context of their blackness. deborah gray white puts it best when she writes, "african american women are confronted with an impossible task. if she is rescued from the myth of the negro, the myth of the woman traps her. if she escapes the myth of the women, the myth of the negro still ensnares her". among the double burdens that feminists faced was fighting for women's rights as well as rights for people of color. frances m. beale wrote that the situation of black women was full of misconceptions and distortions of the truth. in her pamphlet "double jeopardy: to be black and female", she claimed that capitalism was the direct forebearer of racism because the system was indirectly a way to destroy the humanity of black people. "in any society where men are not yet free, women are less free because we are further enslaved because we [african american women] are enslaved by our sex." many african american women turned towards feminism in their fight against oppression because "there was an awareness that they were being treated as second-class citizens within the civil rights movement of the 60's." due to this many women felt that they were being asked to choose between "a black movement that primarily served the interest of black male patriarchs and a women's movement which primarily served the interests of racist white women." the theory of double consciousness is also heavily present for female diasporic artists. these artists are faced with the task of remaining authentic to their roots while still branding themselves in a way to allow international and mainstream popularity. in the music industry women of color are often stereotyped as being hyper-sexual and aggressive; which in some cases helps their branding and in other cases it hurts their branding and the identity they have attempted to create for themselves. due to this diasporic female artists are often forced to privilege certain self markers and conceal others depending on the situation; often making them feel as if they can never create one true identity for themselves but must rather change depending on the circumstances present. the first portion of black power labeled "white power" by kwame ture (formerly known as stokely carmichael) and charles v. hamilton provides evidence backing up the ideology of double consciousness in regards to black people in the united states. the book opens up by defining racism as "the predication of decisions and policies on considerations of race for the purpose of subordinating a racial group and maintaining control over that group" (hamilton & ture, 3). therefore the subordinating group, black people, must think of themselves in terms of the oppressive population, white. individual racism and institutional racism both contribute to double consciousness. on an individual level double consciousness is practiced within every day interactions and on an institutional level it impacts how black people function throughout society. "black people are legal citizens of the united states with, for the most part, the same legal rights as other citizens. yet they stand as colonial subjects in relations to the with society." therefore, while the black population in the united states are essentially equal to whites under written law, there remains deeply rooted inequities between the races and therefore reinforce double consciousness. because these differences are not evident under the constitution and the bill of rights, they are an experience. even though the framework of double consciousness can be applied to diaspora and transnationality, it is important to understand that the nuances of racial dynamics differ from nation to nation. as tina campt notes in "other germans: black germans and the politics of race, gender, and memory in the third reich," the tension for afro-german who "came of age during the totalitarian regime of the third reich ... was not necessarily experienced as one of absolute duality or 'twoness.' rather, it was a contradictory and complexly textured form of identity". due to the absence of a presence of a black community in germany, along with other european nations, "most afro-germans did not have the option of choosing between a black community or identity and a german identity". they were essentially forced to "occupy a position between a conception of german identity that excluded blackness and a conception of blackness that precluded any identification with germanness". this means that for them, the psychological dilemmas that come with double consciousness is even more profound. for black germans in the early 20th century, there was no stable idea or community of blackness for them to identify, or partly, with. they were constantly subject to the white gaze and had no stable line of flight away from white civil society. atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (apci) is an ionization method used in mass spectrometry which utilizes gas-phase ion-molecule reactions at atmospheric pressure (10 pa), commonly coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc). apci is a soft ionization method similar to chemical ionization where primary ions are produced on a solvent spray. the main usage of apci is for polar and relatively less polar thermally stable compounds with molecular weight less than 1500 da. the application of apci with hplc has gained a large popularity in trace analysis detection such as steroids, pesticides and also in pharmacology for drug metabolites. a typical apci usually consists of three main parts: a nebulizer probe which can be heated to 350-500c, an ionization region with a corona discharge needle, and an ion-transfer region under intermediate pressure. the analyte in solution is introduced from a direct inlet probe or a liquid chromatography (lc) eluate into a pneumatic nebulizer with a flow rate 0.2–2.0ml/min. in the heated nebulizer, the analyte coaxially flows with nebulizer n gas to produce a mist of fine droplets. by the combination effects of heat and gas flow, the emerged mist is converted into a gas stream. once the gas stream arrives in the ionization region under atmospheric pressure, molecules are ionized at corona discharge which is 2 to 3 kv potential different to the exit counter-electrode. sample ions then pass through a small orifice skimmer into the ion-transfer region. ions may be transported through additional skimmer or ion-focusing lenses into a mass analyzer for subsequent mass analysis. ionization in the gas phase by apci follows the sequences: sample in solution, sample vapor, and sample ions. the effluent from the hplc is evaporated completely. the mixture of solvent and sample vapor is then ionized by ion-molecule reaction. the ionization can either be carried out in positive or negative ionization mode. in the positive mode, the relative proton affinities of the reactant ions and the gaseous analyte molecules allow either proton transfer or adduction of reactant gas ions to produce the ions [m+h] of the molecular species. in the negative mode, [m−h] ions are produced by either proton abstraction, or [m+x] ions are produced by anion attachment. most work on the apci-ms analysis has been in positive mode. in the positive mode, when the discharge current of corona discharge is 1-5 μa on the nebulized solvent, n gas molecules are excited and ionized, which produce n. the evaporated mobile phase of lc acts as the ionization gas and reactant ions. if water is the only solvent in the evaporated mobile phase, the excited nitrogen molecular ions n would react with ho molecules to produce water cluster ions h(ho). then, analyte molecules m are protonated by the water cluster ions. finally, the ionization products mh(ho) transfer out from the atmospheric-pressure ion source. declustering (removal of water molecules from the protonated analyte molecule) of mh(ho) takes place at the high vacuum of the mass analyzer. the analyte molecule ions detected by ms are [m+h]. the chemical reactions of ionization process are shown below. primary and secondary reagent ion formation in a nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of water: ionization of product ions: declustering in the high vacuum of the mass analyzer: if the mobile phase contains solvents with a higher proton affinity than water, proton-transfer reactions take place that lead to protonated the solvent with higher proton affinity. for example, when methanol solvent is present, the cluster solvent ions would be choh(ho)(choh). fragmentation does not normally occur inside the apci source. if a fragment ion of a sample is observed, thermal degradation has taken place by the heated nebulizer interface, followed by the ionization of the decomposition products. in a major distinction from chemical ionization, the electrons needed for the primary ionization are not produced by a heated filament, as a heated filament cannot be used under atmospheric pressure conditions. instead, the ionization must occur using either corona discharges or β- particle emitters, which are both electron sources capable of handling the presence of corrosive or oxidizing gases. the first atmospheric pressure ionization source was developed by horning, carroll and their co-works in the 1970s at the baylor college of medicine (houston, tx). initially, ni foil was used as a source of electrons to perform ionization. latterly in 1975, corona discharge electrode was developed, which had a larger dynamic response range. apci with the corona discharge electrode became the model for modern commercially available apci interfaces. apci was applied to gc/ms and lc/ms also by horning's group in 1975. analyte in lc eluate was vaporized and ionized in a heated block. high sensitivity and simple mass spectra were obtained through this application. in the later decades, the coupling of apci with lc/ms became famous and caught a lot attention. the introduction of apci and lc-ms had expanded dramatically the role of mass spectrometry in the pharmaceutical industry in the area of drug development. the sensitivity of apci combined with the sensitivity and specificity of lc/ms and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (lc-ms/ms) makes it the method of choice for the quantification of drugs and drug metabolites. ionization of the substrate is very efficient as it occurs at atmospheric pressure, and thus has a high collision frequency. additionally, apci considerably reduces the thermal decomposition of the analyte because of the rapid desolvation and vaporization of the droplets in the initial stages of the ionization. this combination of factors most typically results in the production of ions of the molecular species with fewer fragmentations than many other ionization methods, making it a soft ionization method. another advantage to using apci over other ionization methods is that it allows for the high flow rates typical of standard bore hplc (0.2-2.0ml/min) to be used directly, often without diverting the larger fraction of volume to waste. additionally, apci can often be performed in a modified esi source. the ionization occurs in the gas phase, unlike esi, where the ionization occurs in the liquid phase. a potential advantage of apci is that it is possible to use a nonpolar solvent as a mobile phase solution, instead of a polar solvent, because the solvent and molecules of interest are converted to a gaseous state before reaching the corona discharge needle. because of apci involves a gas-phase chemistry, there is no need to use special conditions such as solvents, conductivity, ph for lc. apci appeared to be more versatile lc/ms interface and more compatible with reversed-phase lc than esi. apci is suited for thermal stable samples with low to medium (less than 1500da) molecular weight, and medium to high polarity. the application area of apci is the analysis of drugs, nonpolar lipids, natural compounds, pesticides and various organic compounds, but limited to the analysis of biopolymers, organometallics, ionic compounds and other labile analytes. james murray costello (born february 24, 1934) is a canadian retired ice hockey player, executive, administrator, and builder, who dedicated a lifetime to the advancement of ice hockey in canada. he played four seasons in the national hockey league, and was the younger brother of les costello. he was a lawyer by trade, and was president of the canadian amateur hockey association from 1979 to 1994, then and its successor hockey canada from 1994 to 1998, when he facilitated the merger of the two organizations. costello helped establish the program of excellence for the canada men's national junior ice hockey team, and oversaw the foundation of the canada women's national ice hockey team, and the inaugural 1990 iihf women's world championship. in addition to his work on canadian national hockey, he spent 15 seasons as an executive in the western hockey league, and another 14 years as an international ice hockey federation council member. costello is inducted into the hockey hall of fame, the iihf hall of fame, canada's sports hall of fame, and is an officer of the order of canada, and a recipient of the order of hockey in canada. costello was noticed by scouts as a teen and was convinced by his older brother les, to enrol at st. michael's college school, to play hockey to pay for his education. he played three seasons of junior ice hockey with the toronto st. michael's majors in the ontario hockey association, reaching the j. ross robertson cup finals in the 1952–53 oha season. costello was signed by the chicago black hawks in 1953, and was assigned to their affiliate team, the galt black hawks, for the 1953–54 oha season. costello made his professional debut in the 1953–54 nhl season, playing 40 games with chicago. he finished the season with the hershey bears in the american hockey league, reaching the calder cup finals in the 1953–54 ahl season. he was traded to the boston bruins for frank martin, on october 4, 1954. costello played 54 games for the bruins in the 1954–55 nhl season, and 41 games in the 1955–56 nhl season, when he and lorne ferguson were traded to the detroit red wings, in exchange for real chevrefils and jerry toppazzini on january 17, 1956. after 27 games for detroit without any points, costello was sent down to the edmonton flyers early in the following season, where he finished his professional career. he played 162 games in four seasons in the nhl, and scored 13 goals, 19 assists, and 32 points. costello felt that he had the skills to play in the nhl, but not "the mindset to be an nhl player, the way they sacrificed their bodies.” costello finished his playing career with the windsor bulldogs in oha senior hockey, while he earned a bachelor of arts degree from assumption university in 1959. after graduation, costello moved to seattle, working as the marketing director of the seattle totems, and stayed for 15 years. he later became publicity director for the western hockey league itself. costello rose up the ranks to become director of hockey operations for the totems, and his team won consecutive lester patrick cup championships in 1967, and 1968. he moved to ottawa in 1973, did contract work with the canadian amateur hockey association teaching and working on coaching certification programs, worked as a scout for the phoenix roadrunners, and studied at the university of ottawa faculty of law. he completed his law degree in 1977, then worked in the legal department of the canadian radio-television and telecommunications commission, and later as an arbitrator for the world hockey association players’ association. costello was formally called to the bar on april 9, 1979. costello was recruited to become the first paid staff to lead the canadian amateur hockey association (caha) in 1979, when it was decided to have a full-time president instead of volunteers. he was chosen because he had previously worked for the caha on contract work, and had a legal background. he succeeded gord renwick as caha president. when he originally accepted the job, he understood it to be a five-year commitment, but that evolved into a lifetime career. the first major project by costello was to address the lack of success by the canada men's national junior ice hockey team at the iihf world u20 championship. in 1977 canada won a silver medal, and then a bronze medal in 1978, and from 1979 to 1981, canada placed no higher than fifth place. the caha had usually sent the defending memorial cup champion, to save on cost, but often those teams had lost graduating players, and were not as strong of a team which won the championship. the caha wanted to send the best team possible, but also feared that by not sending a team, the iihf would turn to the rival hockey canada instead. costello proposed a "program of excellence" at the 1981 caha annual general meeting st. john's which entailed, canada sending the best eligible junior players from the quebec major junior hockey league, ontario hockey league, western hockey league, to summer evaluation camp, and lend the same players during christmas holidays to create a true team canada. the program also included creating under–17, and under–18 programs to feed into the juniors (under–20), and inviting eligible canadian players from other leagues such as the ushl, or ncaa hockey. teams were concerned about losing their best players in the middle of the season, younger players for regional development tournaments, and potential injuries. costello said that, “they didn’t want to give up their best players over the holidays because that’s when most of the teams would experience their best crowds. we worked hard at trying to convince them because they could show what their league is to the world, not just canada.” costello eventually found key allies in ed chynoweth, and sherwood bassin. the canadian hockey league was also assured of participating in the program of excellence policy committee. once the new program was accepted, it achieved immediate success with canada winning the gold medal at the 1982 world junior ice hockey championships. it also proved to create player loyalty to the program, when they wanted to return to play for the canada men's national ice hockey team. in 1990, the international olympic committee and juan antonio samaranch were looking for ways to increase the number of events in the winter olympics for women, and made the suggestion to iihf president günther sabetzki, with the promise that if it was successful, samaranch would fast-track the sport into the olympics. sabetzki asked costello if the caha would stage a women's world championship, and he agreed as long as it could be hosted close to caha offices in ottawa, to keep expenses down. costello oversaw the formation of the canada women's national ice hockey team, and the inaugural 1990 iihf women's world championship, which led to development of women's hockey in canada, costello and hockey canada president bill hay, negotiated a merger between the two organizations in 1994, under the canadian hockey association name, which has operated as hockey canada since 1998. combining the two groups allowed for the profits from hockey canada events such as the canada cup, and the summit series, to be used at the grassroots level, and it also allowed access by professionals in the nhl to international competitions such as the ice hockey world championships, and eventually the olympics. costello also spoke out against violence in sport, and was a member of the fair play advisory committee for ontario hockey association. in the wake of the graham james scandal in 1997, hockey canada implemented a screening program with background checks for hockey staff, and teamed up with the canadian red cross to create the speak out against bullying and harassment, which evolved into the respect in sport program. as president of hockey canada, costello always recognized the volunteers who helped in the development of minor hockey in canada. he retired as president of hockey canada, effective july 1, 1998 at the annual general meeting. he was replaced with vice president, bob nicholson, who said that costello was a great mentor, and "made every decision based on what he thought was the best interest of the sport". costello was a member of the international ice hockey federation council from 1998 to 2012, after retiring from hockey canada. he served as chairman of the medical committee all 14 years, chairman of the under-20 committee from 1998-2003, chairman of the technical/arena committee from 2003–08, vice president of the iihf from 2008–12, chairman of the competition committee from 2008–12, sat on the iihf hall of fame committee, and the statutes & bylaws committee. as part of the committees, he oversaw the inspection of winter olympic games ice hockey facilities on behalf of the international olympic committee, helped organize international under-20 tournaments, oversaw random drug testing, and promoted growth of ice hockey worldwide. costelo resigned as vice president of the iihf, effective september 30, 2012. he later remarked that "the iihf is very much a european organization. i don’t think they would give it (presidency) to a north american or russian. it would give canada too much power." the 1990 women's world cup succeeded in creating media coverage that was lacking for the women's game. costello says it was partially due to the decision to wear pink jerseys, but he was prouder to have showcased the talent in the women's game to the international olympic committee. the championship game of the event drew over 9,500 fans, and the winning goal by geraldine heaney, was highlighted as one of the best 10 goals of the year by hockey night in canada. the event's success helped the introduction of the women's game into the 1998 winter olympics. as of 2013, registration grew to roughly 90,000 canadian women. while with the iihf, costello promised $2 million to help promote women's hockey worldwide at the 2010 world hockey summit. costello is credited with growing the game worldwide, and specifically in the united states. he facilitated the spread of knowledge and ideas for ice hockey, and collaborated with usa hockey on coaching education. he was honoured with the wayne gretzky international award in 2012, which was established by the united states hockey hall of fame, for international individuals that made major contributions to the growth and advancement of hockey in the united states. costello was born in south porcupine, ontario. his given named was james. he grew up in schumacher, ontario, in a household with three brothers, one sister, and a father who worked at the dome mine. his older brother les, played with the toronto maple leafs, was an ordained priest, founded the flying fathers in 1963, and died in 2002. costello resides in ottawa with his wife denise, and they have six children. they met while attending school together in windsor, and spent their honeymoon in seattle, when he moved there for work. costello was on the board of directors for the hockey hall of fame for 17 years, and was also on the selection committee. he has also spoken out against the rising cost of minor competitive hockey, calling it an elitist sport. costello himself was able to reach the nhl coming from a poor background by using hand-me-down equipment, but he fears that "hockey is becoming an opportunity only for the people who can pay their way in", and suggested a return to wooden sticks for minors. regular season and playoff statistics. on the turn is the second and final studio album by irish alternative rock outfit kerbdog, released on fontana records in the uk on 31 march 1997. it was produced by gggarth who had previously worked with rage against the machine. "we did one record with a band named kerbdog, and we started off with about 25 cabinets and amps. it took about two days just to go through 'em all, but we got the best sounds that we have ever gotten. we used old les pauls, old strats and teles, different strings, different pickups."
"gggarth" rehearsals began at full blast studios in los angeles in july 1995 before recording took place at sound city studios and a&m studios over the following months. the band spent almost 4 months rehearsing/recording and the album went massively over budget, including a scrapped mix of the entire album by alan moulder. the final mix of the album was provided by joe barresi. recording took its toll on guitarist billy dalton who departed the band shortly after returning home. "if gggarth hadn't pointed out what was going on, then billy might still be in the band. we're really nice guys and he was a mate, so we couldn't say 'are you able to do this'? i think if he was still with us, he'd be in a mental home by now. he said in america that if things didn't improve for himself when we came home, he'd leave, so it wasn't like we just arrived on his door step and said, 'you're fired' or anything."
"colin fennelly" unfortunately, the album was delayed release by over a year and never sold in great enough quantities to satisfy the record label, reaching number 64 in the uk albums chart. unlike their debut album, it never saw release in the states, despite being recorded there. kerbdog were dropped by mercury and their back catalog was deleted shortly thereafter. the band split in march 1998. the album was re-released in september 2012 on east world records uk. all songs composed by kerbdog "hard to live" and "gridlock" from the album sessions were later released as b-sides to the "j.j.'s song" ep. "on the turn" entered the uk artist albums chart on 12 april 1997 and spent one week on. artists such as biffy clyro, frank turner, inme, cars on fire and others have all said this album had a major influence on their music. biffy clyro also stated that they chose gggarth to produce their last two albums based on his work with kerbdog. biffy clyro's lead singer, simon neil, has been quoted as saying that 'on the turn' "...is a beautiful, beautiful thing". d'urville sea is a sea of the southern ocean, north of the coast of adélie land, east antarctica. it is named after the french explorer and officer jules dumont d'urville. amateur radio direction finding (ardf, also known as radio orienteering, radio fox hunting and radiosport) is an amateur racing sport that combines radio direction finding with the map and compass skills of orienteering. it is a timed race in which individual competitors use a topographic map, a magnetic compass and radio direction finding apparatus to navigate through diverse wooded terrain while searching for radio transmitters. the rules of the sport and international competitions are organized by the international amateur radio union. the sport has been most popular in eastern europe, russia, and china, where it was often used in the physical education programs in schools. ardf events use radio frequencies on either the two-meter or eighty-meter amateur radio bands. these two bands were chosen because of their universal availability to amateur radio licensees in all countries. the radio equipment carried by competitors on a course must be capable of receiving the signal being transmitted by the five transmitters and useful for radio direction finding, including a radio receiver, attenuator, and directional antenna. most equipment designs integrate all three components into one handheld device. the sport originated in northern europe and eastern europe in the late 1950s. amateur radio was widely promoted in the schools of northern and eastern europe as a modern scientific and technical activity. most medium to large cities hosted one or more amateur radio clubs at which members could congregate and learn about the technology and operation of radio equipment. one of the activities that schools and radio clubs promoted was radio direction finding, an activity that had important civil defense applications during the cold war. as few individuals in europe had personal automobiles at the time, most of this radio direction finding activity took place on foot, in parks, natural areas, or school campuses. the sport of orienteering, popular in its native scandinavia, had begun to spread to more and more countries throughout europe, including the nations of the eastern bloc. as orienteering became more popular and orienteering maps became more widely available, it was only natural to combine the two activities and hold radio direction finding events on orienteering maps. interest in this kind of on-foot radio direction finding activity using detailed topographic maps for navigation spread throughout scandinavia, eastern and central europe, the soviet union, and the people's republic of china. formal rules for the sport were first proposed in england and denmark in the 1950s. the first european championship in the sport was held in 1961 in stockholm, sweden. four additional international championships were held in europe in the 1960s, and three more were held in the 1970s. the first world championship was held in 1980 in cetniewo, poland, where competitors from eleven european and asian countries participated. world championships have been generally held in even-numbered years since 1984, although there was no world championship in 1996, and there was a world championship in 1997. asian nations began sending national teams to international events in 1980, and teams from nations in oceania and north america began competing in the 1990s. athletes from twenty-six nations attended the 2000 world championship in nanjing, china, the first to be held outside of europe. as the sport grew in the 1960s and 1970s, each nation devised its own set of rules and regulations. the need for more clearly defined and consistent rules for international competitions led to the formation of an ardf working group by the international amateur radio union (iaru) in the late 1970s. the first ardf event to use the new standardized rules was the 1980 world championship. these rules have been revised and updated over the years, increasing the number of gender and age categories into which competitors are classified, as well as formalizing the start and finish line procedures. while some variations exist, these standardized rules have since been used worldwide for ardf competitions, and the iaru has become the principal international organization promoting the sport. the iaru divides the world into three "regions" for administrative purposes. these regions correspond with the three regions used by the international telecommunications union for its regulatory purposes, but the iaru has also used these regions for sports administration. the first iaru region i (europe, africa, the middle east, and ex-ussr) championship was held in 1993 in chtelnica, slovakia, the first iaru region iii (asia and oceania) championship was held in 1993 in beijing, china, and the first iaru region ii (north and south america) championship was held in 1999 in portland, oregon, usa. in addition to participation in international events, most nations with active ardf organizations hold annual national championships using the iaru rules. ardf is a sport that spans much of the globe. in 2012 over 570 athletes from thirty-three countries, representing four continents, entered the 16th world championships held in kopaonik, serbia organized ardf competitions can be found in almost every european country and in all the nations of northern and eastern asia. ardf activity is also found in thailand, australia, new zealand, canada, and the united states. although they represent a broad range of amateur radio interests in their nations today, several member societies of the international amateur radio union were originally formed for the promotion and organization of the sport and continue to use the term "radiosport" in their society name. these include the federation of radiosport of the republic of armenia (frra), the belarusian federation of radioamateurs and radiosportsmen (bfrr), the chinese radio sports association (crsa), and the mongolian radio sport federation (mrsf). to promote the sport, the iaru has delegated individuals as ardf coordinators for each iaru region to help educate and organize national radio societies and other ardf groups, especially in nations without prior activity in the sport. the rules used throughout the world, with minor variations, are maintained by the iaru region i ardf working group. although these rules were developed specifically for international competitions, they have become the de facto standard used as the basis for all international competitions worldwide. an ardf competition normally takes place in diverse wooded terrain, such as in a public park or natural area but competitions have also been held in suitable suburban areas. each competitor receives a detailed topographic map of the competition area. the map will indicate the location of the start with a triangle and the location of the finish with two concentric circles. somewhere within the competition area designated on the map, the meet organizer will have placed five low power radio transmitters. the locations of the transmitters are kept a secret from the competitors and are not marked on the map. each transmitter emits a signal in morse code by which it is easily identifiable to the competitors. the transmitters automatically transmit one after another in a repeating cycle. depending on entry classification, a competitor will attempt to locate as many as three, four, or all five of the transmitters in the woods, and then travel to the finish line in the shortest possible time. competitors start at staggered intervals, are individually timed, and are expected to perform all radio direction finding and navigation skills on their own. standings are determined first by the number of transmitters found, then by shortest time on course. competitors who take longer than the specified time limit to finish may be disqualified. ardf events use radio frequencies on either the 2-meter or 80-meter amateur radio bands. these two bands were chosen because of their universal availability to amateur radio licensees in all countries. each band requires different radio equipment for transmission and reception, and requires the use of different radio direction finding skills. radio direction finding equipment for eighty meters, an hf band, is relatively easy to design and inexpensive to build. bearings taken on eighty meters can be very accurate. competitors on an eighty-meter course must use bearings to determine the locations of the transmitters and choose the fastest route through the terrain to visit them. two meters, a vhf band, requires equipment that is relatively more complicated to design and more expensive to build. radio signals on two meters are more affected by features of the terrain. competitors on a two-meter course must learn to differentiate between accurate, direct bearings to the source of the radio signal and false bearings resulting from reflections of the signal off hillsides, ravines, buildings, or fences. large national or international events will have one day of competition using a 2-meter frequency and one day of competition using an 80-meter frequency. in addition to the rules of the sport, ardf competitions must also comply with radio regulations. because the transmitters operate on frequencies assigned to the amateur radio service, a radio amateur with a license that is valid for the country in which the competition is taking place must be present and responsible for their operation. individual competitors, however, are generally not required to have amateur radio licences, as the use of simple handheld radio receivers does not typically require a license. regulatory prohibitions on the use of amateur radio frequencies for commercial use generally preclude the awarding of monetary prizes to competitors. typical awards for ardf events are medals, trophies, plaques, or certificates. although all competitors at an ardf event use the same competition area and listen to the same set of five transmitters, they do not all compete in the same category. current iaru rules divide entrants into different categories based on their age and gender. only the m21 category must locate all five transmitters, while the other categories may skip only a specified transmitter or transmitters. the international amateur radio union rules for ardf competitions include provisions for youth competitions. these competitions are restricted to competitors aged sixteen years or younger. the course lengths are shorter (up to six kilometers), the transmitters may be located closer to the start (500 meters), and a course setter may require that fewer transmitters be located. since 2017, there is world youth ardf championship (wyac) every year. participating categories in these championships are w14, w16, m14 and m16. the iaru rules go into great detail about certain procedures that are unique to international championships events. not every ardf competition follows all of these rules. common variations to the generally accepted rules exist at local events. most smaller events do not have large juries or on-course referees. some events will use simpler start procedures, such as using only one starting corridor instead of two. ardf events on the two meter band in north america sometimes use frequency modulation instead of amplitude modulation for the transmission of the morse code identifications. ideally, the topographic maps used in ardf competitions are created using the international specification for orienteering maps 2000 (isom) set by the international orienteering federation and used for orienteering competitions. in fact, many ardf competitions use existing orienteering maps, in collaboration with the orienteering clubs that created those maps. course design is an important element of a successful competition. the international rules adopted by the iaru include both requirements and recommendations for basic course design. important requirements are that no transmitter may be within 750 meters of the start, no transmitter may be within 400 meters of the finish or any other transmitter on course, and that there is no more than 200 meters elevation change between the start, finish, and all transmitters. the iaru rules for international competitions recommend that courses be designed for six to ten kilometers of total travel distance through the terrain. a well-designed course will present the competitors with an athletic challenge in addition to the challenges of land navigation and radio direction finding. depending on the course design and competition, winning times at world championship events are often less than 90 minutes for two meter courses, and can be under 60 minutes for eighty meter courses. ardf equipment is a specialty market, and much of what is available for purchase comes from small commercial vendors or small-batch production by individuals. building equipment, such as handheld antennas, from published designs or kits is also a popular activity. clothing and other equipment is sold through specialty orienteering equipment suppliers or general outdoor sports retailers. ardf transmitters have a low power output and operate in either the two meter or eighty meter amateur radio band. the transmissions are in morse code. each transmitter sends a unique identification that can be easily interpreted even by those unfamiliar with the morse code by counting the number of dits that follow a series of dashes. the transmitters on course all transmit on the same frequency and each transmit in sequence for one minute at a time in a repeating cycle. within a few meters of each transmitter, an orienteering control flag and punch device will be present. for many events and all major events, the punch device is an electronic system, such as sportident, used in orienteering competitions. this records the time competitors visit each control on a small device that they carry. an alternative is to use pin punches which the competitor uses to make a distinct pattern on a control card they carry. competitors need to locate the control flag at the transmitter site and use the punch device to record their visit. good course design will attempt to preclude, as much as possible, runners interfering with the transmitter equipment as they approach the control. at large international or national events, jurors might be present at transmitter controls to ensure fair play. the iaru rules include detailed technical specifications for transmitter equipment. transmitters for two meters are typically 0.25 to 1 watts power output, and use keyed amplitude modulation. the transmitter antennas used on two meters must be horizontally polarized and omnidirectional. transmitters for eighty meters are typically one to five watts power output keyed cw modulation. the transmitter antennas used on eighty meters must be vertically polarized and omnidirectional. it is common for the transmitter, a battery, and any controlling hardware to be placed inside a weatherproof container such as an old ammunition case or large plastic food storage container for protection from the elements and wildlife. the radio equipment carried on course must be capable of receiving the signal being transmitted by the five transmitters and useful for radio direction finding. this includes a radio receiver that can tune in the specific frequency of transmission being used for the event, an attenuator or variable gain control, and a directional antenna. directional antennas are more sensitive to radio signals arriving from some directions than others. most equipment designs integrate all three components into one handheld device. on the two meter band, the most common directional antennas used by competitors are two or three element yagi antennas made from flexible steel tape. this kind of antenna has a cardioid receiving pattern, which means that it has one peak direction where the received signal will be the strongest, and a null direction, 180° from the peak, in which the received signal will be the weakest. flexible steel tape enables the antenna elements to flex and not break when encountering vegetation in the forest. on the eighty meter band, two common receiver design approaches are to use either a small loop antenna or an even smaller loop antenna wound around a ferrite rod. these antennas have a bidirectional receiving pattern, with two peak directions 180° apart from one another and two null directions 180° apart from one another. the peak directions are 90° offset from the null directions. a small vertical antenna element can be combined with the loop or ferrite rod antenna to change the receiving pattern to a cardioid shape, but the resulting null in the cardioid is not as sensitive as the nulls in the bidirectional receiving pattern. a switch is often used to allow the competitor to select the bidirectional or cardioid patterns at any moment. ardf receiver equipment is designed to be lightweight and easy to operate while the competitor is in motion as well as rugged enough to withstand use in areas of thick vegetation. the iaru rules specify that the choice of clothing is an individual decision of the competitor, unless the meet director specifies otherwise. although comfortable outdoor clothing is all that is required for participation, specialty clothing developed for the sport of orienteering is also worn by ardf competitors. nylon pants, shirts, or suits, gaiters or padded socks for lower leg protection, and specialty shoes for cross-country running through wooded terrain are popular choices. some competitors may choose to carry food or water on course, and wear a small waist pack or hydration pack for this purpose. at large international or national events, competitors may be required by the meet director to wear identifying numbers pinned to their clothing, and many wear team uniforms in their national colors. in addition to the radio equipment and topographic map, an ardf competitor uses a magnetic compass for navigation. the most popular compass types are those that are also popular for use in orienteering. some events may require or suggest that competitors carry a whistle for emergency use. in at least one world championship event, competitors were provided with cards written in the native language of the host country, intended to aid in communications with local citizens in the event that a competitor needed emergency aid or directions. in general, the use of cellular phone, or two-way radio equipment on course is prohibited. all competitors are encouraged to wear a watch to keep track of their time on course and not finish over the time limit set for the competition. sprint events have shorter courses with an expected winning time of 15 minutes and use either a 1:5000 or 1:4000 map. they use lower powered transmitters on the eighty metre band which transmit in sequence for only 12 secs with the cycle repeating every minute. the iaru region 1 rules require 2 sets of 5 transmitters where each set operates on a different frequency. the morse code transmitted by the second set of transmitters is slightly faster (paris 70) than the first set (paris 50) to differentiate the two sets. there is also a "spectator" control and a "beacon" control which both operate on different frequencies to the other ten, so four frequencies are used in total. it is possible to combine the spectator control with the beacon control. competitors start at 2 min intervals and have to visit between 3 and 5 controls out of the first set (according to their age class) before visiting the compulsory spectator control. they then visit the requisite controls from the second set before punching the compulsory beacon control, prior to finishing. fox oring is a variation of the sport that requires more orienteering skills. in a fox oring course, the radio transmitters put out very little power, and can be received over only very short distances, often no more than 100 meters. the location of each transmitter will be indicated on the map with a circle. the transmitter does not need to be exactly at the circle's center or even located inside the circle, but one should be able to receive its transmissions everywhere within the area indicated by the circle. a competitor must use orienteering skills to navigate to the area of the circle on the map and only then use radio direction finding skills to locate the very low power transmitter. another variation of the sport, radio orienteering in a compact area, requires less athletic skill and more technical radio direction finding skills. in a roca course, the transmitters put out very little power, typically 10 to 200 mw, and can be received over only very short distances. the transmitters are physically small, and marked with a control card that is no larger than a typical postcard with a unique number identification. because of the low power and short distances involved, most roca competitors walk the entire course, and focus their attention on the radio direction finding tasks rather than navigation. another form of recreational radio direction finding activity in north america that includes the use of automobiles for transportation is most often referred to as "foxhunting" or "transmitter hunting", but is sometimes confused with the organized international sport of amateur radio direction finding. ardf organizations the motorola i870 is a clam-style cellular telephone designed for use with iden networks. it was released for southernlinc networks in mid-october 2005, and for nextel on october 31, 2005 as a replacement for the i860. a variation of this phone, the i875, was released for boost mobile as a replacement for the i860 tattoo. like the motorola i850, i760, and even the i920/i930, the i870 sports widen compliance with band support for both iden 800 and 900. the iden 900 band is also supported, helping relieve 800mhz spectrum pressures during sprint's 800mhz rebanding effort, moving iden up to 862-869mhz while public safety radios utilize spectrum from 851-860mhz. unlike the i930, the i870 does not operate under windows mobile 2003. while this is the case, it utilizes bluetooth support with obex and hands-free earpiece compliance first found on the i605 (the i605 was not well-received due to its monolith form-factor). the i870 sports the same display properties as with the i860 (96x64 12-bit lcd stn external, 176x220 18-bit lcd tft/tfd internal, both color displays). the i870 adds selective dynamic group call, mp3 support from 8-192 kbit/s (up to 320 kbit/s with a firmware update), external music controls, midi/wav support, and transflash/micro sd support for cards up to 2 gb-to-date. the i870 also features an improved camera found on the i850, but the resolution has been increased to 1.3 megapixels, and the video recording up to 30 seconds is limited only to the size of memory. other than the added features new for the i870, the phone retains all the features that made the i860 one of motorola's hot-selling iden phones. the i870 is the first phone to feature agion anti-microbial housing, which is said to negate product erosion due to germ contact. an updated version of the i870, the motorola i880, also sports this feature. the phone was approved by the fcc with the id of az489ft5846 on august 26, 2005. a class ii permissive change was issued on september 30, 2005 for hearing aid compatibility purposes. process optimization is the discipline of adjusting a process so as to optimize (make the best or most effective use of) some specified set of parameters without violating some constraint. the most common goals are minimizing cost and maximizing throughput and/or efficiency. this is one of the major quantitative tools in industrial decision making. when optimizing a process, the goal is to maximize one or more of the process specifications, while keeping all others within their constraints. this can be done by using a process mining tool, discovering the critical activities and bottlenecks, and acting only on them. fundamentally, there are three parameters that can be adjusted to affect optimal performance. they are: the first step is to verify that the existing equipment is being used to its fullest advantage by examining operating data to identify equipment bottlenecks. operating procedures may vary widely from person-to-person or from shift-to-shift. automation of the plant can help significantly. but automation will be of no help if the operators take control and run the plant in manual. in a typical processing plant, such as a chemical plant or oil refinery, there are hundreds or even thousands of control loops. each control loop is responsible for controlling one part of the process, such as maintaining a temperature, level, or flow. if the control loop is not properly designed and tuned, the process runs below its optimum. the process will be more expensive to operate, and equipment will wear out prematurely. for each control loop to run optimally, identification of sensor, valve, and tuning problems is important. it has been well documented that over 35% of control loops typically have problems. the process of continuously monitoring and optimizing the entire plant is sometimes called performance supervision. stieg hedlund (born 1965) is a computer and video game designer, artist, and writer with over 25 years of experience who has worked on more than 30 games in the video game industry. although he is probably best known for his work in action rpgs, he has also worked on games in each of the real-time strategy, tactical shooter, beat-'em-up and action-adventure genres on the pc and almost every dedicated game console. he has a professed interest in conlangery and linguistics. despite his lengthy resume, hedlund is not known for having the "rock-star attitude" common among well-known designers in the industry. hedlund has said that he is "more interested in how the audience feels" about his games than in the "accolades of (his) fellow game designers". he has further stated in interviews that he believes in a collaborative environment and that his door is "always open to anyone who had a design idea". raised in the chicago area, hedlund contributed to and co-ran a small but successful minicomic during high school. he became a pen & paper rpg designer "by the age of 16" after exploring "scenario creation, rule variants, balancing" and the like in dungeons & dragons. hedlund began his career in the electronic entertainment field in 1987 at infinity software, a small publisher of games for the macintosh, commodore 64 and amiga. hedlund moved on to japanese publisher koei in 1990, which had established a north american subsidiary, koei corporation, in california two years earlier. working at koei both in northern california and japan, he was the lead designer for and/or originated a number of games including "liberty or death", "", "gemfire" and "saiyuki: journey west". in 1995, shortly after hedlund left the company, the subsidiary ceased its game development efforts. after working on an unreleased "lord of the rings"-based title for electronic arts in the early '90s, hedlund interviewed with condor software (the future blizzard north), then working on "justice league". according to hedlund the game concept "wasn't very appealing to me", leading to his instead going to work for the sega technical institute in 1994, where, as an artist and game designer, he worked on titles like "comix zone", "the ooze" and "sonic x-treme". hedlund has stated that in addition to his gaming experience, his experience "living and working in japan" was another reason he was hired on at sti, since sti collaborated and integrated more game professionals from japan than any of sega’s other studios. in 1996, three years after he first interviewed with the company, hedlund ran into the three founders of condor (sti and condor were closely located on the eastern edge of the sf peninsula). he was impressed by the potential of their latest game, "diablo", and immediately joined the team taking on the lead design role. three months before the release of "diablo", blizzard acquired condor and renamed the company blizzard north. "diablo" would go on to become one of the most highly rated games of 1996. in the wake of "diablo"'s success, hedlund designed the record-breaking "diablo ii", which was released in 2000. the title went on to become the second-best-selling pc game of all time, the number one-selling rpg on the pc with over 15 million units sold and, according to the 2003 edition of the "guinness book of world records", the fastest selling computer game ever sold, with more than 1 million units sold in the first two weeks of availability. according to the 2008 guinness gamer's edition, the title still holds the record. "diablo ii" was also the recipient of many of the game industry's most prestigious awards, including the 2001 academy of interactive arts & sciences game of the year award. while at blizzard, he also participated in the design of both "starcraft" and the "" expansion pack. starcraft was the best-selling pc game of 1998 and received numerous game of the year awards. a decade later it remains one of the most popular online games in the world, and was even named “the greatest game of all time” by gamespot. "diablo ii: lod" was released in 2001, and helped to “reinforce the staying power of an already legendary rpg”. it too received numerous awards, including several for best expansion pack of the year, and tied with "baldur’s gate ii" for best rpg of the year. on april 17, 2000, hedlund announced that he would be leaving blizzard north "as soon as his responsibilities for "diablo ii" (had) been fulfilled" in order to start a new game-development firm called full-on amusement company with business partners, programmers,and artists from virgin interactive, sega, sony computer entertainment, electronic arts, and maxis. during this time, hedlund was also named as the designer to collaborate with five-time academy award nominated director david lynch on his unreleased "woodcutters from fiery ships" game project. later in 2000, hedlund joined konami as the company's creative director and worked on titles such as the iconic "frogger" and "contra" series. in 2002, he went to work as creative director for ubisoft/ red storm entertainment on games such as "tom clancy's ghost recon 2" and "", as well as contributing to "". he also spent some time with oddworld inhabitants doing foundational work for "". beginning in august 2004, hedlund signed on with perpetual entertainment as design director on the "" mmorpg, officially announced in march 2005. the game was shown at e3 2006 and received several "best of show" awards, with particular notice being paid to its innovative "minion" system. although it was well into “content complete” beta testing by september 2007, the technology behind the game could not be stabilized, and after numerous delays and several rounds of layoffs the game was "indefinitely suspended" in mid-october 2007 even as further stability testing was underway. hedlund left the company during its ensuing dissolution in the months that followed. eventually the game got published in june 2011. after leaving perpetual, hedlund founded turpitude an independent game development firm, along with partner natalie fay. as the chief creative officer for turpitude design, stieg oversees the team of game designers and producers working on the company's projects. ign named hedlund as being one of the top 100 game creators of all time (number 62). his games have an average rating of 88%, and have received numerous awards including: "diablo": gamespot's game of the year award, and #1 spot of all pc games. "starcraft": gamespot greatest games of all time, academy of interactive arts & sciences game of the year, computer gaming world game of the year, pc powerplay game of the year, pc gamer real-time strategy game of the year, games domain strategy game of the year, gameinformer 35th greatest game of all time. "diablo ii": guinness book of world records fastest selling computer game ever sold, interactive achievement awards computer game of the year, interactive achievement awards computer role playing game of the year, interactive achievement awards game of the year, pc gamer #16 "50 best games of all time", pc gamer #82 "top 100 games", computer and video games #25, "the 101 best pc games ever", gamepro #11 "the 32 best pc games", destructoid #7 "top video games of the decade". smartfood popcorn is a brand of prepopped, flavored popcorn made by the frito-lay company. smartfood was first created in 1985 by andrew martin - chairman and ceo, ken meyers- vp operations and martin's wife annie withey- vp consumer relations, in hampton, connecticut. smartfood was first marketed under the registered brand name in 1985, and was manufactured in marlborough, massachusetts. according to martin, “unlike the cheese popcorn already on the market, ours was made with real cheese and it didn't glow in the dark. we wanted quality and we were up against the negative consumer image, because prepopped popcorn in a bag was considered garbage, not worth the money because it is not fresh and you can make it better and cheaper at home." in january 1989, the company was sold to texas-based frito-lay for an undisclosed amount. withey and martin later formed annie's homegrown, which markets macaroni and cheese, pasta, and other organic products. electronics manufacturing services (ems) is a term used for companies that design, manufacture, test, distribute, and provide return/repair services for electronic components and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (oems). the concept is also referred to as electronics contract manufacturing (ecm). many consumer electronics are built in china, due to maintenance cost, availability of materials, quality, and speed as opposed to other countries such as the united states. cities such as shenzhen have become important production centres for the industry, attracting many consumer electronics companies such as apple inc. the ems industry took off after the late 1970s when solectron was established. at the time, most electronics manufacturing for large-scale product runs was handled by the in-house assembly. these new companies offered flexibility and eased human resources issues for smaller companies doing limited runs. the business model for the ems industry is to specialize in large economies of scale in manufacturing, raw materials procurement and pooling together resources, industrial design expertise as well as create added value services such as warranty and repairs. this frees up the customer who does not need to manufacture and keep huge inventories of products. therefore they can respond to sudden spikes in demand more quickly and efficiently. the development of surface mount technology (smt) on printed circuit boards (pcb) allowed for the rapid assembly of electronics. the early 1990s saw oem's rapidly installing smt lines. ems players like sci and avex struggled to exist as oems would pull contract or change vendors constantly. by the mid-1990s the advantages of the ems concept became compelling and oems began outsourcing pcb assembly (pcba) in large scale. by the end of the 1990s and early 2000s, many oems sold their assembly plants to ems aggressively vying for market share. a wave of consolidation followed as the more cash-flush firms were able to buy up quickly both existing plants as well as smaller ems companies. the ems industry is commonly divided into tiers by their revenue: there is no hard rule on the actual revenue designation at this time. other categories have been suggested by stepbeyond/emsinsider and circuits assembly: micro tier (<$50m); tier 4 <10m and "tier mega" referring to the big 2, foxconn and flex. another distinction is drawn between ems that specializes in high mix low volume (hmlv) and high volume low mix (hvlm). mix refers generally to the complexity or different models of the pcb assembly. volume refers to the number of units built, with products like consumer electronics on the high end and prototype, medical electronics or machinery on the low end. typically, lower tier ems provide hmlv and higher tier provide hvlm. during technology's late-1990s heyday, ems players routinely acquired assets in high-cost locations. ems players largely focused on printed circuit board fabrication, leaving system assembly to the oems. ems companies largely disdained industries outside the world of information processing (computers) and communications. in recent years, ems players have shifted production to low-cost geographies; embraced non-traditional industries including consumer electronics, industrial, medical and instrumentation; and added substantial vertical capabilities, stretching from design and odm through system assembly, test, delivery and logistics, warranty and repair, network services, software and silicon design, and customer service. ems has also started to provide design services used in conceptual product development advice and mechanical, electrical and software design assistance. testing services perform in-circuit, functional, environmental, agency compliance, and analytical laboratory testing. electronics manufacturing services are located throughout the world and provide numerous "benefits". they vary in terms of production capabilities and comply with various quality standards and regulatory requirements. trustpower limited is a new zealand electricity generation and electricity retailing company, listed on the new zealand stock exchange. trustpower is new zealand's fifth largest electricity generator (in terms of mw capacity, gwh output and revenue) and the fourth largest electricity retailer (in customer numbers). in new zealand, trustpower now has 29 hydro-electricity schemes, with a total of 47 power stations. trustpower operates a multi-product retail business in new zealand, including electricity, gas and telecommunications products with approximately 270,000 electricity customer connections, 38,000 gas customer connections and 91,000 telecommunications customer connections (figures accurate as at november 2018). the company's ownership structure is dominated by its two major shareholders: infratil which owns 51.0% and the tauranga energy consumer trust (tect) which owns 26.8% and the remaining 22.2% is widely held. in 1913, the tauranga borough council applied to the department of lands to have the omanawa falls vested in their body corporate for the purposes of water power generation. they also applied under section 268 of the public works act 1908 for a licence to generate electricity. in october 1914, the public works department gave its approval for water to be taken from the omanawa river to generate electricity and circulate it throughout the borough and surrounding area. with plans underway to build its new omanawa falls power station the tauranga borough council established on 5 october 1914 a municipal electricity department to market and distribute the electricity that would be produced by the new station. its supply area ranged from the causeway bridges leading through the town, 17th avenue in the south to sulphur point in the north, a total of 210 square miles (544 square km). in 1915 the borough council hired lloyd mandeno as its electrical engineer, with responsibility not only for building the distribution system that will take power from the new power station but also to convince the population of 1,540 to give up their candles, kerosene lamps and town gas for the new untried electricity. by 1924 68 homes out of the 700 in the borough were using electric cooking. lloyd mandeno was made chief electrical engineer in 1917. local citizen r.s. ready was so sure of the advantages of electricity that he built on 5th avenue the first house in new zealand that relied solely on electricity. mandeno designed a hot water cylinder for the house, that was built from galvanized iron insulated with 150 mm of pumice. within four years the council had expanded its reticulation to supply rural areas as far as gate pa, otumoetai, papamoa and oropi. by 1923 the department had 845 customers generating a revenue of £10,470. in 1921 lloyd mandeno undertook some investigations and proposed that the borough consider building a new power station using the head generated by fall on the wairoa river. with demand increasing the borough council agreed to build what became the mclaren falls power station. this began generating on 25 june 1925. the falls and the power station were to named after a couple who operated a cookhouse during construction and whose son had been killed in world war i. in addition to his duties as an employee of the tauranga electricity department, mandeno was also a consultant to te puke town board and the newly constituted tauranga power board. in 1925 mandeno resigned after being accused of a conflict of interest by tauranga's mayor, bradshaw dive. he was replaced by claude w. boak as electrical and general engineer. by 1928 the department had installed 232 water heaters and 120 electric stoves and was supplying 848 customers with a revenue of £22,116. with demand still continuing to increased through the 1930 the combined output of omanawa falls and mclaren falls was proving insufficient. as a result, the electricity department was forced to arrange with the shd to take supply from its aongatete and te puke. in 1962 the department began using underground cabling systems in new subdivisions. in the same decade the department decided to proceed with construction of two new power stations that utilized the waters of the mangapapa and wairoa rivers, which had been designed by consultants mandeno chitty & bell in whom lloyd mandeno was a principal. approval to proceed was granted by the new zealand government in 1963 continual upon the station's output being equally shared with the tauranga electric power board. as a result, the tauranga joint generation committee was established in 1965 to develop, control and sell electricity generation. as a result of this initiative the original two planned stations, the lloyd mandeno power station was commissioned in 1972, and the ruahiti power station in 1981. in between these two dates an additional station, the lower mangapapa power station had been commissioned in april 1979. all three stations were operated as part of the kaimai hydro power scheme. by 1981 the tauranga joint generation committee was making a profit of nz$1.29 million and had 231 employees. in 1989 the mclaren falls power station was decommissioned. following the introduction of the energy companies act in 1992, after consulting with local citizens the tauranga city council transferred the assets of its electricity department to the newly established tauranga electricity ltd. the majority shareholder in the new company was the council owned tauranga civic holdings ltd, which held 5,099,994 shares with the remaining six shares in the company held by the public. in june 1993 tauranga civic holdings ltd took full control. by that year the company had 5,576 customers. using the provisions of the electric power boards act of 1918 proposals were put to create a power board to supply the rural areas of the bay of plenty. as a result, the tauranga electric power board was established and held its first meeting in 13 september 1923. the following year a poll of ratepayers in the board's area which covered 667 square miles (1,753 km2), including the towns of katikati, mt maunganui and te puke the board raised a loan of £110,000 to construct its distribution system. rather than build its own power stations the board arranged to obtain its electricity from the electricity department of the tauranga borough council. following his resignation from tauranga borough council lloyd mandeno took up a position as general manager of the tauranga electric power board in january 1926. he was only in the position until he resigned on 25 may of that year, leaving the position in august, to go into private practice in auckland. however the board retained him as their consulting engineer on an annual retaining fee of £250 plus travelling expenses, a position he retained until 1929. during his period of evolvement with the power board he invented, developed and introduced into service the single wire earth return reticulation system. this allowed the board to reduce the cost of distributing electricity across its predominately rural customer base. in response to the state hydro-electric department (shd), introducing charging for peak demand the power board in 1952 introduced what is believed to have been the world's first automatic load control system. that same year the power board also began manufacturing pre-stressed concrete power poles. it is believed that it was one of the first power boards to do this in new zealand. in 1958 the shd was renamed the new zealand electricity department (nzed). by the early 1990s the power board was supplying those areas the city of tauranga, where it had expanded out of the defined city electricity department's geographical inner city area, the surrounding tauranga country and the towns of te puke and mt maunganui. in 1990 it had a staff of 201, 43,158 customers and was making a profit of 2.55 million. in response to the introduction of the energy companies act in 1992, the tauranga and rotorua electric power boards proposed to merge, but it was rejected both by the public and the government. the power board investigated other options and in 1994 changed its name to trustpower and its financial structure so that 50% of the ownership was held in a consumer trust, 49% was directly held by customers with the remaining 1% in an employee share ownership scheme. on 18 april 1994 trustpower listed on the new zealand stock exchange. this allowed the specialist infrastructure and utility investor infratil ltd to acquire 11 million shares and become its largest shareholder. by this time it had approximately 40,000 customers as well as a half share in the kaimai hydro power scheme. meanwhile, the rotorua electric power board had also changed its financial structure to become the roturua electricity ltd. by 1995 trustpower had built up a 67.7% shareholding in this new entity and in 1996 took full control. in 1995 trustpower purchased taupo electricity limited and taupo generation limited which gave it a total of 89,000 customers to make it new zealand's fourth largest power company and third largest power generator. while for many years the directors of tauranga electricity had been opposed to merging with other companies to create a bay of plenty wide energy company as they were of the opinion the resulting monopoly would push up prices. eventually however the city council after receiving many proposals over the years agreed to merge with trustpower. the merger which occurred on 31 october 1997 guaranteed that the city council's shareholding in trustpower would provide an annual revenue of nz$3.3 million over the next five years. by 1998 the addition of the tauranga city's customers meant that new company was supplying 96,513 customers. in 1998 the state-owned electricity corporation of new zealand sold five of its smaller hydro stations, of which trustpower purchased coleridge (nz$91 million), highbank/montalto ($37 million) and matahina ($115 million) hydro power stations. in 1998 the new zealand government passed the electricity industry reform act 1998 which was intended to change the structure of the electricity industry to encourage competition. this act required the operational separation of lines and generation business activities by 1 july 1999 and separation of the ownership by 1 january 2004. as by now trustpower had built up a substantial generation portfolio it elected to be a generator/retailer and so sold its lines and its contracting business, powerlink limited. following a competitive sales process, trustpower sold its lines business to united networks limited (formerly power new zealand) for $485 million. trustpower also acquired the retail business from eight energy companies: waipa power, wairoa power, marlborough electric, buller electricity, westpower, electricity ashburton, central electric, and otago power. using the proceeds of the sale of these businesses trustpower began purchasing the generation assets being shed by those energy companies that had opted to be a lines company. this led to it purchasing the following hydro power stations and schemes: arnold, branch and waihopai, kumara, mangorei, motukawa, paerau, patearoa, patea (for $72m) wahapo, waipori (for $70m) as well as the tararua wind farm (for $49m). thus by march 1999 it had 421.5 mw of installed capacity, capable of generating up to 1,769 gwh per annum. in march 2003 trustpower completed the purchase of the cobb power station for $92.5m from ngc. in 2003 trustpower bought back some of its shares. infratil did not participate in the buy-back, which lead to it increasing its shareholding to 33.5%. in 2006 infratil purchased allient energy's shareholding for nz$6.20 a share, which gave it 51% and thus majority control of trustpower. in 2013, trustpower bought energy direct, a wanganui electricity and gas company. in 2015, it bought 65% of king country energy ltd from nova energy. king country energy generates all of its electricity from renewable sources (principally hydro-electric generation) and supplies electricity to the waitomo, king country and ruapehu districts. king country energy was incorporated in 1991. on 18 december 2015, trustpower announced that it was considering a process to demerge its wind assets in australia and new zealand, separating into two new zealand incorporated listed companies by way of a court-approved scheme of arrangement. the demerger, effective on 31 october 2016, resulted in the creation of two new companies, trustpower and tilt renewables. the demerger enables each business to focus on their respective areas of specialisation. in 2018, trustpower and king country electric power trust (kcept), assumed full ownership of king country energy limited (kce). this is the outcome of a joint venture takeover made by a wholly owned subsidiary of trustpower and kcept, initiated in december 2017, that sought to acquire the balance of kce's ordinary shares at $5 per share. trustpower now controls 75% of kce, with kcept controlling the remaining 25%. kce sold its retail business to trustpower in july 2018. trustpower sold its australian hydro-power generation assets operator gsp energy pty limited for a$168 million ($129.46 million), as the company focuses on its core new zealand business. the mclaren falls station on the kaimai hydro power scheme was decommissioned in 1989 following the commissioning of the ruahihi power station. in 1998 trustpower decommissioned the omanawa falls power station and gifted it to the tauranga city council. abu nuwas is an impact crater on the planet mercury, 116 kilometers in diameter. it is located at 17.4°n, 20.4°w. it is named after the arab poet abu nuwas, and its name was approved by the international astronomical union in 1976. there appears to be a small mountain centered inside the abu nuwas floor, and the crater's wall opens toward the south to link to a much smaller, unnamed crater. to the north are the craters ts'ai wen-chi and rodin. to the southwest is the crater moliere, and the crater aśvaghosa can be found toward the south. british columbia is the westernmost province of canada, bordered by the pacific ocean. with an area of it is canada's third-largest province. the province is almost four times the size of united kingdom, two and one-half times larger than japan and larger than every u.s. state except alaska. it is bounded on the northwest by the u.s. state of alaska, directly north by yukon and the northwest territories, on the east by alberta, and on the south by the u.s. states of washington, idaho, and montana. formerly part of the british empire, the southern border of british columbia was established by the 1846 oregon treaty. the province is dominated by mountain ranges, among them the canadian rockies but dominantly the coast mountains, cassiar mountains, and the columbia mountains. most of the population is concentrated on the pacific coast, notably in the area of vancouver, located on the southwestern tip of the mainland, which is known as the lower mainland. it is the most mountainous province of canada. british columbia is customarily divided into three main regions, the interior, the coast and the lower mainland (though the last-named is technically part of the coast). these are broken up by a loose and often overlapping system of cultural-geographic regions, often based on river basins but sometimes spanning them. examples of the former would be the kootenays, the okanagan, and the chilcotin, while of the latter would be the lillooet country and cariboo. important subareas of these include the fraser valley, part of the lower mainland, the fraser canyon (which overlaps with various regions) and the robson valley, which is the uppermost basin of the fraser river southeast of prince george. vancouver island is seen as its own region within the coast, as are the haida gwaii (queen charlotte islands) and the gulf islands. the canadian rockies, coast mountains and inside passage provide some of british columbia's renowned and spectacular scenery. these landforms provide the backdrop and context for a growing outdoor adventure and ecotourism industry. in the southwestern corner of b.c., the lower fraser valley forms a flat, fertile triangle of intensively used land. the city of penticton and the small towns oliver, and osoyoos have some of the warmest summer climates in canada, although the hottest spots are the towns of lillooet and lytton in the fraser canyon. nearly all of the coast including much of vancouver island is covered by a temperate rain forest. one-third of the province consists of barren alpine tundra, icefields, and glaciers. the landforms of british columbia include two major continental landforms, the interior plains in the province's northeast, the british columbia portion of which is part of the alberta plateau. the rest of the province is part of the western cordillera of north america, often referred to in canada as the pacific cordillera or canadian cordillera. the cordillera is subdivided into four main "systems" (which are distinct from the corresponding region's geologic provinces): b.c.'s eastern mountain system comprises the dominant canadian rockies, with the cariboo, selkirk, monashee, and purcell ranges of the columbia mountains system in the south. the canadian rockies incorporate the canadian segment of the north american rocky mountains range. the southern end in alberta and british columbia borders idaho and montana of the united states. the northern end is at the liard plain in british columbia. the interior system comprises the interior plateau and interior mountains (aka the northern interior mountains) and the southern part of the yukon plateau. the major subdivisions of the interior mountains are the cassiar mountains, omineca mountains, stikine plateau, skeena mountains and hazelton mountains. each has a variety of subranges and some definitions include the tahltan highland and tagish highland which may also be assigned to the boundary ranges of the coast mountains (see next). the major subdivisions of the interior plateau are the nechako plateau, the mcgregor plateau, the fraser plateau (which includes the chilcotin plateau and cariboo plateau and a number of small mountain ranges) and the thompson plateau. the quesnel, shuswap and okanagan highlands which flank the plateau to the east are sometimes seen as part of it, but are officially part of the columbia mountains range-system and are seen as subranges of the adjoining ranges, namely the cariboo mountains and monashee mountains. the western system comprises the coast mountains, the canadian portion of the cascade mountains (known in the us as the cascade range), the southeastern most saint elias mountains and the coastal trough, which includes the georgia depression and its subunit the fraser lowland and other low-lying coastal areas. the western mountain system's coast mountains are the westernmost range of the pacific cordillera, running along the western shore of the north american continent, extending south from the alaska panhandle and covering most of coastal british columbia. the range is covered in dense temperate rainforest on its western exposures, the range rises to heavily glaciated peaks, including the largest temperate-latitude icefields in the world, and then tapers to the dry interior plateau on its eastern flanks, or to the subarctic boreal forest of the skeena mountains and stikine plateau. mount waddington (4016 m) is the highest mountain within b.c. and fairweather mountain in the fairweather range of the saint elias mountains on the b.c. and alaska border has the highest point. much of the b.c. coast has a fjord scenery, due to the many islands along the pacific coast being the highest points of a partly submerged mountain range. the insular system comprises the insular mountains, which include the vancouver island ranges and queen charlotte mountains as well as the nanaimo lowland, nahwitti lowland and hecate depression. the younger ranges of the canadian rockies were uplifted during the late cretaceous period (145 million-66 million years ago) and are a relatively new, tall and uneroded mountain range. during the ice age all of british columbia is covered by ice (except haida gwaii and brooks peninsula). "source statistics canada" although little-known to the general public, british columbia is home to a huge area of volcanoes and volcanic activity in the pacific ring of fire. several mountains that many british columbians look at every day are dormant volcanoes. most of them have erupted during the pleistocene and holocene. although none of canada's volcanoes are currently erupting, several volcanoes, volcanic fields, and volcanic centers are considered potentially active, 49 of which have erupted in the past 10,000 years and many of which have been active in the past two million years. there are hot springs at some volcanoes while 10 volcanoes in british columbia appear related to seismic activity since 1975, including: mount silverthrone, mount meager massif, wells gray-clearwater volcanic field, mount garibaldi, mount cayley massif, castle rock, the volcano, mount edziza, hoodoo mountain and crow lagoon. numerous shield volcanoes developed during the tertiary period in north-central british columbia and some were active intermittently to recent times. mount edziza and level mountain are most spectacular examples. mount edziza is a stratovolcano consisting of a basal shield of basaltic flows surmounted by a central vent and flanked by numerous satellite cones, ash beds and blocky lavas. the complex has a long history of volcanic eruption that began about 10 million years ago and ended about 1300 years ago. the volcanoes are grouped into four volcanic belts with different tectonic settings. the garibaldi volcanic belt is a north-south range of volcanoes in southwestern british columbia. it is the northern extension of the cascade volcanic arc in the united states and contains the most explosive young volcanoes in canada. it was formed by subduction of the juan de fuca plate at the cascadia subduction zone. eruption styles within the belt range from effusive to explosive, with compositions from basalt to rhyolite. the most recent major catastrophic eruption was the 2350 bp eruption of the mount meager massif. it produced an ash column at least 20 km high into the stratosphere and dammed the lillooet river with breccia. the anahim volcanic belt is an east-west line of volcanoes. these volcanoes probably formed when the north american plate moved over the anahim hotspot. the hotspot is considered similar to the one feeding the hawaiian islands. the last volcanic eruption within the belt was about 7000 years ago at a small cinder cone called nazko cone. the northern cordilleran volcanic province (sometimes called the stikine volcanic belt) is the most active volcanic region in canada, containing more than 100 volcanoes. several eruptions are known to have occurred within this region in the past 400 years and contains canada's largest volcanoes. it formed as a result of faulting, cracking, rifting and the interaction between the pacific and the north american plates. the chilcotin group in southern british columbia is thought to have formed as a result of back-arc extension behind the cascadia subduction zone. the wells gray-clearwater volcanic field in southeastern british columbia consists of numerous small, basaltic volcanoes and extensive lava flows. many individual volcanoes in the field have been active for the last 3 million years during which time the region was covered by thick glacial ice at least twice, prior to the well known fraser glaciation (also known as the wisconsin glaciation). the origin of the volcanism is yet unknown but is probably related to crustal thinning. the last eruption in the field was at kostal cone in 1500. volcanism within the field has also created the -high helmcken falls, which is the fourth highest waterfall in canada. it owes its foundation to the deposits of volcanic rock that were placed down in the wide valley of the murtle river. layer upon layer of fresh lava created flat areas, over which enormous floods flowed during the last ice age. these floods shaped the upright cliff in the lava flows over which the river now flows. the protection of helmcken falls was one of the major causes for the development of wells gray provincial park. as a result, if it had not been for the volcanic eruptions, it is not likely that such a large wilderness region would have been made. the fraser river forms an important transportation corridor when it drains much of central and southern british columbia flowing to the pacific ocean. other major rivers include the upper columbia river and the kootenay river. in northern b.c. the stikine, nass and skeena rivers flow toward the pacific ocean, and peace river flows northeast toward the arctic ocean. hydroelectric resources in b.c. are highly developed, and pulp and paper and lumber mills are common throughout the province. the fraser, nass, and skeena rivers have not been dammed in order to protect the salmon runs on them. rivers and their valleys have for a long time provided routes through the mountains for people in b.c. long, narrow lakes are found throughout the valleys of the southern and central interior. among these are atlin, kootenay, okanagan, quesnel, and shuswap lakes. several high dams have impounded large reservoir lakes like kinbasket lake, particularly on the columbia (see hydroelectric dams on the columbia river) and peace rivers. williston lake, on the peace river, is the province's largest body of freshwater. "source statistics canada" "source environment canada" "sources statistics canada, wld, anglersatlas.com" british columbia's climate is best described as varied. the mountainous terrain causes huge changes in climatic conditions over short distances. all winter long the coast is pounded with storm after storm off the pacific ocean. the coast mountains, cascades and also the skeena and hazelton mountains block most of the precipitation which forces the majority of the precipitation to fall on the west side of the mountains. in contrast, the leeward side is much drier with some areas classified as semi-arid. the coast of british columbia is by far the wettest area in canada, while areas located 150–200 km inland are some of the driest places in canada outside of the high arctic. most of northern bc as well as many mountain highways have a subarctic or subalpine climate. coastal british columbia experiences the mildest winters in canada where freezing temperatures are infrequent. victoria, generally considered the mildest major city in canada, has gone an entire winter without freezing. along with the moderating effect of the pacific ocean, the mountains impede the flow of the cold arctic air during the winter. the only exception is the northeastern portion of the province situated on the eastern side of the rocky mountains. without the protection of the mountains, the climate is similar to that found in the neighboring parts of alberta. the winters are very cold and the summers are warmer than areas west of the rockies. summer daytime temperatures in the southwestern interior are the hottest in canada. during july and august, the average daily maximum temperature around osoyoos and spences bridge is over 29 °c (84.2 °f), though lillooet and lytton erroneously claim to be hotter and vie for the title of "canada's hot spot". this is because their summertime temperature extremes tend to be hotter than osoyoos and spences bridge (despite a slightly cooler average temperature). this heat combined with little precipitation means that arid animals and vegetation thrive. although winter temperatures are much colder than coastal british columbia, many interior areas have warmer winters than most of the other provinces in canada. southern interior valleys, including the okanagan valley, are spared the incessant precipitation found on the coast, but they receive some of the lowest amounts of bright sunshine in canada during the winter months. this is a result of winter temperature inversions that leave the valleys in a layer of thick cloud while the rest of the province basks in sunshine. on the other hand, a few small southern interior towns, for example princeton and grand forks, have a humid continental climate (dfb) with average winter temperatures and cold snaps comparable to other parts of the country, due to their higher elevation. while these are still considered mild by canadian standards, there are even smaller villages with even higher elevation, such as allenby and beaverdell, with even colder average temperatures. some mountain passes in southern bc can have dangerous heavy snowfall and freezing rain, and drivers may be unaware of wintry road conditions when they come from nearby areas like vancouver and kamloops that are much warmer. some passes on major highways, including roger's pass (highway 1) and coquihalla summit (highway 5) get more annual snowfall than the snowiest cities in canada. source: environment canada, "canadian climate normals or averages 1981-2010" source: environment canada, "weather winners website" * indicates a canadian record. there are 14 designations of parks and protected areas in the province that reflect the different administration and creation of these areas in a modern context. there are 141 ecological reserves, 35 provincial marine parks, 7 provincial heritage sites, 6 national historic sites, 4 national parks and 3 national park reserves. 12.5% (114,000 km²) of bc is currently considered 'protected' under one of the 14 different designations that includes over 800 distinct areas. british columbia contains seven of canada's national parks: bc also contains a large network of provincial parks, run by bc parks of the ministry of environment and climate change strategy. in addition to parks, british columbia also protects approximately 47,000 square kilometers of agricultural land via the agricultural land reserve. environment canada subdivides british columbia into a system of ecozones, each containing smaller ecoregions. the ecozones within british columbia include the pacific marine, pacific maritime, boreal cordillera, montane cordillera, taiga plains, and boreal plains ecozones. the system used was established by the trilateral commission for environmental cooperation and as such is parallel to that used by the environmental protection agency in the united states, though their system uses different names for the same ecozones and ecoregions, and to a similar ecoregional subdivision of mexico. in an ecoregion system advanced by the world wildlife fund, british columbia's ecosystems are divided on five different levels, each classifying the area on a progressively more detailed basis. at the top level, ecodomains delineate areas of broad climatic uniformity across the world. the ecodomains are then divided into ecodivisions which delineate areas of broad climatic and physiographic uniformity. next, the ecodivisions are divided into ecoprovinces which consider climate, oceanography, relief and regional landforms. the ecoprovinces are then divided into ecoregions which consider major physiographic and minor macroclimatic or oceanographic variations. finally, the ecoregions are divided into ecosections for minor physiographic and macroclimatic or oceanographic variations. overall, b.c. is divided into 4 large ecodomain areas which are progressively divided down into 114 small ecosections. the british columbia ministry of forests and range subdivides the province's ecoregions into a system of biogeoclimatic zones: in botany, nearly all of british columbia is part of the rocky mountain floristic province. founded as several colonies as part of the british empire, the political geography is complicated by the fact that during colonization no treaties or conquests of first nations (the indigenous people) occurred outside of a few small areas of the province. the resulting legal and political system is based upon the british, and later canadian state that evolved from it. at present much of the province is subject to contested title and political rights with first nations. the issue used to be called the indian land question, though the term is no longer used. on-going disputes have included protest, political activity and legal challenges, including the recent supreme court of canada decision recognizing title to one group (tsilhqot'in nation v british columbia). british columbia is divided into defined regions for various political purposes. one is for the purpose of providing local government services in various ways. among the most important subdivisions of the province are forest regions and forest districts, which have jurisdiction over forests and their management, and also range and grazing leases, and also manage ministry of forests recreation sites and campgrounds. other important subdivisions are ministry of environment regions (which controls water rights and management, environmental oversight, pesticide and herbicide permits, the british columbia conservation officer service and fish and wildlife branch; the provincial parks are managed by a sub-department of the ministry of environment, bc parks), health regions (which administer health funding, hospitals and ambulance services), school districts (whose taxation authority is distinct from that of regional districts and organized by tax assessment areas), and mining districts (whose authority under the mines act supersedes nearly all other jurisdictions). the ministry of tourism also has a system of tourism regions, and the ministry of industry, trade and small business development divides the province into development regions, with bc stats using a different regionalization system than that of statistics canada, which uses regional district boundaries to organize its data. also very important is a system of regional management planning boards, which are "roundtable"-type planning authorities on which local stakeholders ranging from taxpayer and industry groups, municipalities and chambers of commerce, ministry of forests and ministry of environment/bc parks and in some cases first nations hammer out long-range plans for regional land-use management. the provincial judicial system also subdivides the province into counties, though this is mostly only procedural and does not impact directly on daily life. all such regions and underlying title and survey descriptions are organized by land districts, which are the cadastral survey system underlying all legal descriptions in the province and date from the original lands act in the days of the colony of british columbia and colony of vancouver island. in the case of municipal-type services, there are municipalities, which are incorporated areas, and regional districts, which are groups of member municipalities and rural areas. another purpose is for the provision of provincial services. the provincial government has dividing certain services into regional services, such as health authorities and agricultural commissions, which administer specified regions according to their own policies. the province is also divided to provide electoral districts by elections bc for provincial elections and elections canada for federal elections. in addition to these, indian reserves have been established throughout the province but are administered by the federal government. in order to fund community-wide services, such as a sewer system, urban areas incorporate to form municipalities. the vast majority of british columbians live in these municipalities but there are also large areas of unincorporated rural areas around the municipalities. in 1964 the provincial government created regional districts, through amendments to the municipal act, to better coordinate regional issues and provide community services to unincorporated areas. only one area, the sparsely populated stikine region in northwest b.c., is not covered by a regional district and municipal-type powers are administered directly by the provincial government. the stikine region has a permanent population of only 1,352 people, most of them aboriginal, and covers an area of 135,391 square kilometers with no municipalities within its borders. its only major towns being atlin and telegraph creek. most planning in that region is governed by the ministry of energy, mines and petroleum resources (forestry is only a small player in the region's economy as yet). all the regional districts and municipalities are members of the union of british columbia municipalities. the former sechelt indian band is now a municipal-type government, the sechelt indian government district, and former indian reserves are now fee-simple lands within that effective municipality. since 1966-67, british columbia has been segmented into 27 regional districts as a way of extending municipal powers outside of municipalities. these regional districts are governed by boards composed of representatives of member municipalities and electoral areas. the unincorporated area of the regional district is segmented into electoral areas. each electoral area elects one director who sits on the regional board and the electoral area directors committee. the islands trust acts similar to a regional district for most of the unincorporated islands in the gulf of georgia between the mainland and vancouver island, which are part of various regional districts though the islands trust supersedes them in planning and zoning authority. the regional districts are used to provide local government services (mostly zoning, building inspection, etc.) to unincorporated areas, sub-regional services (e.g. street bridge over a border) between two or more members, regional parks, and regional services (e.g. funding the regional hospital district) required for the entire area. also, as a collection of municipalities they are able to borrow funds for capital projects at lower interest rates. there are over 150 municipalities in british columbia. they are divided into cities, districts, towns and villages, according to their population at the time of their incorporation. there are also three other municipalities that were incorporated for special purposes. these are the resort municipality of whistler, sechelt indian government district, and bowen island municipality. with the exception of the city of vancouver all municipalities attain their legislative powers from the local government act (formerly the municipal act), which is being replaced, in phases, by the community charter. the city of vancouver obtains its legislative authority from the vancouver charter. british columbia has a large number of indian reserves which are outside the municipal and regional district systems and are self-governing by numerous band governments, most of which belong to tribal councils, which is an association of bands with common interests and not governments as such. many bands claim sovereignty, having signed no treaties to surrender title. for representation in the legislative assembly b.c. is segmented into 87 electoral districts. each one of these ridings elects one candidate to become its member of the legislative assembly (mla) in a first past the post race contained within the electoral district. patterns of voting established by the right-wing predecessors of the bc liberal party, the bc social credit party and the wartime liberal-conservative coalition dominated provincial politics for much of the latter part of the twentieth century and enjoyed power bases on vancouver's west side, victoria's richer suburbs, on the south bank of the fraser valley and in the okanagan and the province's central interior and northeast. the new democratic party has traditionally drawn its support from more urbanized areas such as vancouver and victoria, as well as the north coast and northwest interior, plus the mining towns of the kootenays and key areas of vancouver island. swing areas include the bc interior, certain urban areas within the lower mainland (like surrey) and certain rural areas (like in southeastern bc). the province of british columbia currently has 36 electoral districts represented in the house of commons of canada. regional voting patterns are similar to those for provincial ridings, except that many voters vote differently federally than they do provincially, particularly on the right. mercury nz limited is a new zealand electricity generation and electricity retailing company. all of the company's electricity generation is renewable. it owns and operates nine hydroelectric generating stations on the waikato river and five geothermal plants in the taupo area. in 2015, the company under the mighty river power brand generated 17% of the country's electricity. in 2017, mercury had a 19% share of the new zealand retail electricity market. mercury nz limited was formed in 1994 by the auckland energy consumer trust to own and run the electricity supply business previously operated by the community-owned local authority, auckland electric power board. in 1998, law changes obliged aepb to sell the electricity retailing and generation part of the business. in 1998 but after the 1998 auckland power crisis mercury's electricity retailing division was sold to mighty river power, which was then a wholly state-owned soe. mighty river power's retailing division continued the former trading name mercury energy. the electricity distribution business, mercury energy limited, changed its name to vector limited and continued the distribution and transmission operation. mighty river power was established on 1 april 1999, when the 1998 reform of the electricity sector took effect. the electricity corporation of new zealand (ecnz) was broken up into three state-owned generating companies - mighty river power, genesis energy and meridian energy. mighty river power took over the ownership and operation of the eight hydroelectric power stations on the waikato river, new zealand's longest, and also inherited the assets of two largely decommissioned oil-fired power stations at marsden point, near whangarei. in addition, the 1998 reforms forced the separation between lines (transmission and distribution) and supply (generation and retailing). on 1 april 1999, mercury energy, then the major lines and supply company for auckland, new zealand's largest city, was split between lines and supply. mighty river power inherited mercury energy's retail base and its share in the southdown power station (in conjunction with the natural gas corporation). mercury energy then became the name of mighty river's retail business, and the sub-transmission and distribution business of mercury energy was renamed vector. in 2000, mighty river purchased into the rotokawa geothermal power station, to operate and maintain the station, and own the geothermal turbines in a joint venture with the tauhara north no.2 trust. also that year, mighty river power commissioned the mokai geothermal power station in a joint venture with the tuaropaki trust. in september 2002, mighty river gained 100 percent ownership of the southdown power station. in 2004, mighty river announce plans to refurbish the marsden b plant to fire it on coal to increase supply security north of auckland. marsden b had been mothballed since it was completed in 1978 due to rising oil prices following the 1973 oil crisis and there being cheaper alternatives available. greenpeace staged a nine-day occupation of the site in 2005, and after the northland regional council granted consent, appealed to both the environment court and high court, eventually overturning the consent. mighty river appealed the high court decision to the court of appeal, but in march 2007 dropped the proposal. in 2008, mighty river increased its generating capacity by opening the 100 mw kawerau geothermal power station, increasing supply security to the eastern bay of plenty, a large timber processing area. in 2010, it opened the 140 mw nga awa purua geothermal station near taupo, complete with the largest single-shaft geothermal turbine in the world. the commissioning of nga awa purua increased mighty river's geothermal capacity to 385 mw, becoming the nation's largest geothermal electricity generator with 52.7 percent of all installed geothermal capacity. in december 2011, the national government announced plans to reduce its shareholding in mighty river power, as well as in the three other state-owned energy companies, from 100 percent to 51 percent and to sell off the remaining 49 percent as part of its controversial "mixed-ownership model" plan. mighty river power was to be the first company to be partially sold in september 2012, pursuant to legislative changes and market conditions. however, threatened legal action and unfavourable market conditions saw the government delay any sale until march 2013 at the earliest. the government began taking registrations of interest from the public in mighty river power shares on 5 march 2013. more than 35,000 people tried to register in the first six hours, causing the registration website to crash for much of the day. by midnight, more than 90,000 people had registered. in anticipation of the sale, in april 2013 state owned enterprises minister tony ryall said director fees would be increasing from $49,000 a year to $85,000, and the chair's fees from $98,000 to $150,000, despite still being majority-owned by taxpayers. the financial markets authority approved the sale of mighty river power on 12 april, with the initial public offering (ipo) opening on 15 april. however, the ipo was temporarily suspended on 22 april while a supplementary disclosure was issued, after the labour and green parties in opposition announced plans to reform the electricity market if elected to government at the 2014 election. at the close of the ipo on 5 may, there were 113,000 shareholders, and on 8 may the opening share price was set at $2.50, raising $1.7 billion. the government was slightly disappointed, blaming the labour-green policy for putting off many more potential shareholders, and with the finance minister indicating before the policy was announced that the price would be in the $2.70 to $2.80 range. the government retained 51.78 percent of the shareholding, with another 1.02 percent owned by other crown interests (mainly the new zealand superannuation fund). by september, shares had slumped to $2.16, well below the float price, and in october the company announced it would be buying back up to $50 million in shares. by november 2015, the share price had exceeded the listing price, at $2.88. the gas fired southdown power station, a 170 mw combined cycle power station in south auckland was closed in december 2015. the company changed its name to mercury nz limited on 29 july 2016, after merging its retail and generation businesses. mercury operates 13 power stations, all in auckland, waikato, and the bay of plenty. in total, the company has 1638 mw of generating capacity - composed of 1078 mw hydroelectric, 385 mw geothermal, and 175 mw natural gas. in addition to its generation assets, mercury also incorporates or has major shareholdings in: bair island is a marsh area in redwood city, california, covering , and includes three islands: inner, middle and outer islands. bair island is part of the larger don edwards san francisco bay national wildlife refuge. it is surrounded by the steinberger slough to the northwest and redwood creek to the southeast. the california department of fish and wildlife's bair island ecological reserve consists of on the middle and outer islands, although the entire island group is managed by the refuge. bair island is an important ecological wetland, which provides critical habitat for a variety of species, including the endangered california clapper rail and the salt marsh harvest mouse, and is an important stop for birds on the pacific flyway. bair island is bisected by corkscrew slough, a major haul-out site for harbor seals ("phoca vitulina"). bair island is the largest undeveloped island in the san francisco bay and was used for farming, grazing and salt production since the 19th century. a residential development called south shores had been proposed to build a housing estate with 4000 houses on the marshland. it was approved by the redwood city council, but a citizens referendum narrowly defeated the project in 1982 by just 44 votes. the peninsula open space trust purchased the property in 1996 and deeded the site to be part of the don edwards national wildlife refuge, and the bair island ecological reserve was established in 1997. in 2013, a pedestrian bridge was opened to connect to trails around the island to allow access to the naturally restored wetlands. in 2017, tour guides began leading pedestrians on the trails and showing the effects of wetland restoration. some species that have flourished since the restoration are the california ridgway's rail, pickleweed, and pelicans. john scott (july 24, 1824november 29, 1896) was an american lawyer and republican party politician. he served in the pennsylvania house of representatives and represented

operated charter services. its base was barcelona international airport. the airline was created on 28 february 2003 and started operations on 31 july 2003. it flew under its own name and for other operators such as spanair. it also made cargo flights with a boeing 747-200. by april 2008, girjet had lost its air operating licence and the whole fleet was grounded. since then some aircraft made their way to other airlines, either sold or returned to their lessors. the girjet fleet consisted of the following aircraft (at december 2007): brčko (cyrillic: брчко, ) is a city and the administrative seat of brčko district, in northern bosnia and herzegovina. it lies on the banks of sava river across from croatia. as of 2013, it has a population of 83,516 inhabitants. it is the only existent entirely self-governing free city in europe. its name is very likely linked to the "breuci" (greek βρεῦκοι), a subtribe of pannonian tribes of the illyrians who migrated to the vicinity of today's brčko from the territories of the yamnaya culture in the 3rd millennium bc. breuci greatly resisted the romans but were conquered in 1st century bc and a lot of them were sold as slaves after their defeat. they started receiving roman citizenship during trajan's rule. a number of breuci migrated and settled in dacia, where a town called bereck or brețcu, a river (brețcu river) and a mountain munții brețcului in today's romania were named after them. the city is located on the country's northern border, across the sava river from gunja in croatia. brčko is the seat of the "brčko district", an independent unit of local self-government created on the territory of bosnia and herzegovina following an arbitration process. the local administration was formerly supervised by an international supervisory regime headed by principal deputy high representative who is also "ex officio" the brčko international supervisor. this international supervision was frozen since 23 may 2012. brčko was a geographic point of contention in 1996 when the u.s.-led implementation force (ifor) built camp mcgovern on the outskirts of the city. camp mcgovern under the overwatch of 3-5 cav 1/bde/1ar division (us) commanded by ltc anthony cucculo was constructed from a war torn farming cooperative structure in the zone of separation (zos) for the purpose of establishing peacekeeping operations. the mission was to separate the forming warring factions. the zos was one kilometer wide of no man's land, where special permission was required for serbian or bosnian forces to enter. various checkpoints and observation points (op's) were established to control the separation. although brčko was a focal point for tension in the late 1990s, considerable progress in multi-ethnic integration in brčko has since occurred including integration of secondary schooling. reconstruction efforts and the property law implementation plan have improved the situation regarding property and return. today, brčko has returned to a strategic transshipment point along the sava river. the population of brčko has not returned to its pre-war ethnic mix of bosniacs, serbs, and croats. brčko sits at the east-west apex of republika srpska, the ethnic serb portion of bosnia & herzegovina, and as such is critical to the rs for its economic future. brčko was one of the main points discussed in the dayton peace accords. after several weeks of intensive negotiation, the issue of brčko was to be decided by international arbitration. brčko arbitration ruled in may 1997 that brčko would be a special district managed by an ambassadorial representative from the international community. the first ambassador to brčko was an american with support staff from the uk, sweden, denmark & france. the first international organization to open office in brčko at that time was the organization for security and cooperation in europe (osce) headed by randolph hampton. following pic meeting on 23 may 2012, it was decided to suspend, not terminate, the mandate of brčko international supervisor. brčko arbitral tribunal, together with the suspended brčko supervision, will still continue to exist. according to 2013 census, the brčko district had 83,516 inhabitants. the ethnic composition of brčko district: a railway station is near the city centre on the line from vinkovci to tuzla. however, no passenger trains operate to brčko anymore. the closest operating railway station is in gunja, croatia; just on the other side of the border. brčko has three football clubs (fk jedinstvo brčko, fk lokomotiva brčko and the youngest club fk ilićka 01). they all play in the second league of republika srpska. brčko has the largest port in bosnia, on the sava river. aside of that, the city of brčko is also home to an economics school of the university of east sarajevo and to a local theatre festival. brčko is twinned with: brčko district ("brčko distrikt" / брчко дистрикт, ) is a self-governing administrative unit in north-eastern bosnia and herzegovina. officially a condominium of the federation of bosnia and herzegovina and republika srpska, it was formed in 1999 to reflect brčko and the surrounding areas' multi-ethnic nature and special status within the newly-independent bosnia. in reality, it functions as a local self-government area, much like the other municipalities in the country. the seat of the district is the city of brčko. the brčko district was established after an arbitration process undertaken by the high representative for bosnia and herzegovina. according to the dayton peace accords however, the process could only arbitrate the disputed portion of the inter-entity boundary line (iebl). the brčko district was formed of the entire territory of the former brčko municipality, of which 48% (including brčko city) was in the new formed republika srpska, while 52% was in the old federation of bosnia and herzegovina. since the end of the bosnian war, the european union (eu) has maintained a diplomatic peace-keeping presence in the area. brčko was the only element in the dayton peace agreement which was not finalized. the arbitration agreement was finalized in march 1999 resulting in a "district" as mentioned above which was to be administrated by an american principal deputy high representative who is also "ex officio" the brčko international supervisor. in 2006, under the supervisory order, all "entity legislation in brčko district and the iebl" was abolished. the ruling made by the brčko supervisor susan johnson abolishes all entity laws in the district, as well as abolishing the entity border line. the ruling makes the laws of the district and the laws of the state of bosnia and herzegovina (including the laws of the socialist republic of bosnia and herzegovina) paramount within the district. the first brčko international supervisor arrived in april 1997. prior to that time, the organization for security and co-operation in europe (osce) had a modest office headed by randolph hampton. during the interim time before the district of brčko could be represented post arbitration agreement, local elections were held, and humanitarian relief was provided with cooperation from the united states agency for international development (usaid) and echo. the district became known as a center for different state-building programs run by foreign governments, particularly the united states. following a peace implementation council (pic) meeting on 23 may 2012, it was decided to suspend, not terminate, the mandate of the brčko international supervisor. the brčko arbitral tribunal, together with the suspended brčko supervision, continues to exist. the ethnic composition of brčko district: natural increase there are 31 seats in the assembly of the brčko district. the seats are divided as follows as of 2016: william trent (1715 december 1, 1784) was a fur trader and merchant based in colonial pennsylvania. he was commissioned as a captain of the virginia regiment in the early stages of the french and indian war, when he served on the western frontier with the young lt. colonel george washington. trent led an advance group who built forts and improved roads for troop access and defense of the western territory. he was later promoted to the rank of major. trent had gone into fur trading by 1740, aided by capital from his father, a wealthy shipping merchant of philadelphia who was the founder of trenton, new jersey. the younger trent took on george croghan, an irish immigrant, as his partner, as he was effective in developing trading networks with native americans. in 1744, trent purchased vast lands in the ohio country west of the appalachian mountains. from then through the 1780s, he was a key figure in encouraging westward expansion by anglo-american settlers past the appalachian barrier, as he wanted to sell his land in parcels for development. trent was born in 1715 in lancaster, pennsylvania (then described as western pennsylvania in historic accounts) as the youngest child and son of william trent, a prominent merchant and trader in philadelphia, pennsylvania and his second wife, mary coddington, who was 25 years younger than her husband. the second son born to mary coddington trent, william was her only child to survive to adulthood. her first son died in infancy. trent's father had four children with his first wife, mary burge trent, who had died in 1708. they were james, john, maurice, and mary trent. trent senior founded trenton, new jersey by buying a large tract of land in 1714 below the falls of the delaware river and developing his country house there. moving to the new site in 1721 with his family, trent also platted the town around his house. the young trent grew up with his father's wealth, gained from trading and shipping in furs, dry goods and slaves, with merchants and interests in the north american and caribbean colonies, and england. his father had interests in 40 ships. his father served in the provincial governments in both pennsylvania and new jersey. with capital from his father, trent had a stake to buy goods and begin fur trading in the ohio country. much of the upper ohio valley had been conquered by the iroquois nations, based in new york and northern pennsylvania, and they kept it open by right of conquest as their hunting ground. they had needed new grounds after exhausting some of the fur game to the east. in 1744, trent made large land purchases from native americans in the ohio country along the ohio river, west of the appalachian mountains. he took george croghan, a young immigrant from ireland, as a partner in the fur trade. croghan had quickly proved adept at establishing a trading network among the indians. he followed the french practice of establishing posts in existing native villages, rather than expecting them to come to a separate english post. in addition, croghan soon learned the unami language of the lenape (delaware) and the mohawk language of one of the iroquois tribes. he was also involved in land speculation, usually holding property for a short period of time. the virginia regiment recruited men in virginia and pennsylvania in 1754 before the outbreak of the war. as pay was low, there was high turnover in the lower ranks. trent was commissioned as a captain and commanded a company, then likely 25-40 men. the young george washington was promoted from lt. col. to colonel to command the regiment. when the regiment moved across the appalachian divide along nemacolin's trail, trent was assigned to take the advance company. he established two forts that were later taken and destroyed by the french: fort prince george, begun february 17, 1754 and fort hanger. the first was built after washington returned from his diplomatic mission warning the french to leave the ohio country. trent and his forces built fort hanger (hangard) later that year on redstone creek. it was at its confluence with the monongahela river and near the ford of the river by nemacolin's trail. trent and his men had not completed fort prince george when a large french military expedition of 600 soldiers, led by sieur de contrecoeur, surrounded the english colonists. they forced trent to surrender and return with his men to virginia. the french force included engineers. after demolishing fort st. george, they began building the larger, more complex fort duquesne (at present-day pittsburgh). the officers of the virginia regiment decided to continue their campaign to secure the trans-allegheny region for the ohio country. their strategy was to build a wagon road to redstone creek, the nearest point of descent for larger traffic to the monongahela river. after gaining reinforcements, they would attack and recapture the forks of the ohio. the virginia regiment began building a road from wills creek, intended to cross the mountains to redstone creek. captain trent was sent ahead with an advance party and supplies carried by pack animals, while lt. col. washington oversaw the main column improving the road through the cumberland narrows pass over the divide. trent's command made minimal improvements. he reached redstone old forts, where he had his men build fort hangard, a blockhouse built out of logs felled along redstone creek. trent was a soldier-of-fortune during the various local indian wars in pennsylvania and present-day maryland and west virginia, and the french and indian war. he commanded the militia at fort pitt during pontiac's rebellion. during the siege of fort pitt, trent recorded in his journal that blankets from the fort's smallpox hospital had been given to the besieging indians during a parley. trent wrote, "out of our regard for them, we gave them two blankets and an handkerchief out of the small pox hospital. i hope it will have the desired effect." the full passage from the journal is: "the turtles heart a principal warrior of the delawares and mamaltee a chief came within a small distance of the fort mr. mckee went out to them and they made a speech letting us know that all our [posts] as ligonier was destroyed, that great numbers of indians [were coming and] that out of regard to us, they had prevailed on 6 nations [not to] attack us but give us time to go down the country and they desired we would set of immediately. the commanding officer thanked them, let them know that we had everything we wanted, that we could defend it against all the indians in the woods, that we had three large armys marching to chastise those indians that had struck us, told them to take care of their women and children, but not to tell any other natives, they said they would go a speak to their chiefs and come and tell us what they said, they returned and said they would hold fast of the chain of friendship. out of our regard to them we gave them two blankets and a handkerchief out of the small pox hospital. i hope it will have the desired effect. they then told us that ligonier had been attacked, but that the enemy were beat of". some credit trent with being among the founding fathers of pittsburgh. in later life, he became a land speculator in the western pennsylvania region, as he sold off some of the lands he had bought in 1744. the 1993 pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1993, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern pacific ocean between may and november. these dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern pacific ocean. tropical storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the joint typhoon warning center. tropical depressions in this basin have the "w" suffix added to their number. tropical depressions that enter or form in the philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the philippine atmospheric, geophysical and astronomical services administration or pagasa. this can often result in the same storm having two names. 40 tropical cyclones formed this year in the western pacific, of which 30 became tropical storms. 15 storms reached typhoon intensity, of which 3 reached super typhoon strength. tropical depression 01w formed on february 27, 1993, near the philippines. the storm made landfall on mindanao on march 1, before it dissipated the next day. irma shied away from land masses. it formed on april 9 east of mindanao. it made landfall on mindanao on april 13 and dissipated later that day. it formed on april 15, 1993. curving twice, it made landfall on mindanao. it is the third storm to make landfall in mindanao this season. the pagasa classified the depression as 'daling' on may 3 as it made landfall over southern mindanao the next day. it dissipated in the sulu sea on may 4. jack stayed at sea. typhoon koryn, having developed well east of the philippines on june 13, steadily strengthened as it moved westward, intensifying to a peak of winds on the 24th. it crossed northern luzon the next day as a slightly weaker typhoon, and continued west-northwestward until hitting southern china (90 nautical miles southwest of hong kong on the 27th). koryn slowly wound down, bringing heavy rain through china and northern vietnam before dissipating on the 29th. koryn was responsible for the loss of 37 people, as well as $14.5 million (1993 usd) in damage over the northern philippines. elang made landfall in the philippines. lewis was one of many systems to hit the philippines that year. marian stayed within the philippine sea. nathan crossed japan. ofelia moved over japan. percy also struck japan. on july 29, pagasa initiated advisories on a poorly organised tropical depression. the depression moved slowly towards the north-west before it dissipated during the next day. the near equatorial trough spawned a tropical depression on july 30 over the open western pacific waters. it tracked to the west-northwest, becoming a tropical storm on the 2nd and a typhoon on the 4th. robyn turned more to the northwest, where it reached a peak intensity of winds on the 7th. it weakened to a typhoon before hitting southwestern japan on the 9th, and became extratropical on the 10th over the sea of japan. robyn caused 45 fatalities, 39 of which were from traffic related accidents, and $68 million in damage (1993 usd). steve stayed clear from land. tasha hit china in august. keoni formed southeast of the big island of hawaii on august 9, and was later classified as a named system south of the island chain. keoni peaked as an intense category 4 hurricane over open waters and lasted until the 29th, crossing the international date line and becoming a typhoon in the western pacific, but never affected land. the cyclone dropped heavy rainfall across much of the japanese archipelago. a peak rainfall total occurred of at mount zaō, including a record in 24 hours. a peak hourly rainfall total of was observed in tokyo. a wind gust of was recorded in miyake-jima. winona hit china. the monsoon trough formed a tropical depression on august 27. it headed generally westward, reaching tropical storm strength on the 30th and typhoon strength on the 31st. yancy turned to the northeast, where it rapidly intensified to a super typhoon on the 2nd. the storm weakened to a typhoon before making landfall on southwestern japan on the 3rd, and dissipated 2 days later over the sea of japan. yancy brought strong winds to japan, amounting to 42 casualties and widespread damage. zola was another weak system that hit japan. abe was another typhoon that hit china. becky struck china to the west of macau at full force. the offshore waters in the southern and southwestern part of hong kong recorded hurricane-force winds where its hourly mean winds reached 122 km/h with gusts up to 176 km/h at waglan island. in cheung chau, winds increased significantly to 115 km/h hourly before under going maintenance; privately recorded its hourly winds of up to 128 km/h during its first hour of maintenance there in cheung chau, and up to 139 km/h 60-minute mean wind just before under going maintenance. in tai mo shan, its hourly mean winds reached 155 km/h. becky was clearly underestimated and the hurricane signal 10 should have been hoisted as it was justified (hurricane-force winds recorded at southwestern part of hong kong when becky traversed at about 110 km south-southwest of the royal observatory). its maximum 10 minute sustained wind speed was estimated to be at around 150 km/h at its closet approach to hong kong. the typhoon killed 1 taxi driver at a car accident in hong kong. as of 2017, becky was revised and upgraded to a minimal typhoon. dot struck china as well. initially posing a direct hit to hong kong but it slowly moved north, striking the coast of western guangdong. cecil recurved out to sea. ed was a potent typhoon but did not affect land. typhoon flo hit the northern philippines on october 4 as a minimal typhoon, having developed on the 28th from the monsoon trough. it stalled just off the west coast, and turned northeastward, becoming extratropical on the 9th. flo caused at least 50 deaths from the heavy flooding on luzon. gene was a weak system that stayed away from land. the depression criss crossed land. hattie recurved from land. ira struck the philippines. it also wreaked havoc in hong kong, causing an aircraft to slide off the runway at kai tak airport after landing in blind weather. jeana stayed at sea. 32w was long-lived. 33w was short-lived. kyle was yet another philippines striking system. it also hit vietnam. the near equatorial trough spawned a tropical depression on november 27. it moved westward without significant development until december 2, when it became a tropical storm. lola became a typhoon 2 days later, and hit the philippines on the 5th. it weakened to a tropical storm after crossing the islands, but restrengthened to a typhoon before hitting southern vietnam on the 8th. lola quickly dissipated, not after causing 308 fatalities, 230 of which were in the philippines from the heavy rains. manny, like lola, developed from the near equatorial trough on december 1. it headed westward, slowly strengthening to a tropical storm on the 4th. due to a ridge to the north, it looped on the 7th and 8th and became a typhoon on the way. while heading southwestward towards the philippines, manny rapidly intensified to a typhoon before hitting the philippines late on the 9th. it weakened over the islands, and upper level winds kept it from restrengthening much over the south china sea. manny dissipated on the 16th over the malay peninsula, after causing 230 deaths, only one week after lola hit the same area. manny's track was unusual, given its time of year with a loop and a strengthening period to the southwest. however, it has a near perfect analog; typhoon pamela in the 1982 pacific typhoon season took a nearly identical track within days of manny (though pamela was much weaker than manny). a non-tropical system developed from the itcz of where manny formed on december 11. it moved in a fairly fast westward direction as it gradually intensified into a weak tropical depression late on december 14. the pagasa issued warnings on the depression as it reached peak intensity late on december 15, making landfall over the islands of visayas. nell was the final system to hit the philippines this year. during the season 28 named tropical cyclones developed in the western pacific and were named by the joint typhoon warning center, when it was determined that they had become tropical storms. these names were contributed to a revised list which started on mid-1989. the philippine atmospheric, geophysical and astronomical services administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. pagasa assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1997 season. this is the same list used for the 1989 season. pagasa uses its own naming scheme that starts in the filipino alphabet, with names of filipino female names ending with "ng" (a, b, k, d, etc.). names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in . this table summarizes all the systems that developed within or moved into the north pacific ocean, to the west of the international date line during 1993. the tables also provide an overview of a systems intensity, duration, land areas affected and any deaths or damages associated with the system. brave little tailor is a 1938 american animated short film produced by walt disney productions and released by rko radio pictures. it is an adaptation of the fairy tale "the valiant little tailor" with mickey mouse in the title role. it was directed by bill roberts and features original music by albert hay malotte. the voice cast includes walt disney as mickey, marcellite garner as minnie, and eddie holden as the giant. the film was nominated for the academy award for best animated short film at the 11th academy awards in 1939, but lost to disney's own "ferdinand the bull". in 1994 it was chosen as the 26th greatest cartoon of all time by members of the animation field. the list was compiled in the book "the 50 greatest cartoons". set during the middle ages in europe, a king is seeking a brave warrior to kill a giant which has been terrorizing the small kingdom. there is much discussion in the village, but no one is willing to take on the task. nearby in the same village, a young peasant tailor (mickey mouse) kills seven flies at once while at his work, and accidentally interjects several other peasants' discussion of the problems with the giant to brag loudly about his accomplishment: gossip that mickey has killed seven giants with one blow quickly spreads around the kingdom. the king summons him, and asks if he really "killed seven at one blow". he goes into an elaborate retelling of how he killed the seven (flies, not giants as the king believes), which impresses the king enough to appoint him "royal high killer of the giant". upon learning the misunderstanding, all of his confidence disappears and he attempts to stammer his way out of the assignment. the king offers him both vast riches and the hand of his only daughter, princess minnie, in marriage if he can kill (or at least subdue) the giant. smitten with minnie, he proclaims that he'll "cut [the giant] down to my size", and sets off for the giant's lair. after only a few minutes, however, he is ready to turn back and give up, but the townspeople and minnie are counting on him. "gosh," mickey sighs to himself, wondering what to do. "i dunno how to catch a giant." just then, the evil giant appears, forcing mickey to scramble for a place to hide while the giant crushes a mountain, a forest, and a house. he sits down on a barn and eats a cart of pumpkins (as if they were grapes), then drinks some water (using a water well as if it were a thermos) and a smoke (rolling a cigarette from a haystack mickey was hiding in and lighting it with an oven in a nearby house after he pulls open its roof to get it) and leans on a silo to relax as mickey briefly ends up in his mouth but escapes. mickey is caught in the giant's cigarette, and gives his hiding place away by accidentally sneezing. the giant attempts to squash him, who quickly produces a needle and thread and binds the giant's limbs. with the needle and thread, mickey swings about the giant, sewing him up and causing him to fall and knock himself out. the giant subdued, mickey returns home and is hailed as a hero. an amusement park is built on the site of the battle (powered with wind power from the snoring giant). the film ends with the king and a newly married mickey and minnie enjoying a ride on the carousel. from august 28 to november 27, 1938, the "mickey mouse" comic strip published 14 sunday newspaper comics retelling the story under the title "the brave little tailor". this version was bookended by segments showing the "real" mickey mouse as an actor working for walt disney who casts him for the film. the comic has mac maccorker as the fictional director of the film. goofy also appears in these scenes, and after the wrap he is wearing the same clothes he wore in the short film "the whalers" which was released the month before "tailor". the story was written by merrill de maris and drawn by manuel gonzales and floyd gottfredson with inking by ted thwaites. in 1985 bantam books published a children's book called "mickey meets the giant" which featured mickey encountering the same giant. this version was somewhat more faithful to the original fairy tale, maintaining that the tailor fools the giant by apparently beating him in feats of strength. the film was released on the "mickey mouse in living color" dvd collection in the "walt disney treasures". it was included on the 2018 "celebrating mickey" blu-ray/dvd/digital combo compilation. a brace on a square-rigged ship is a rope ("line") used to rotate a yard around the mast, to allow the ship to sail at different angles to the wind. braces are always used in pairs, one at each end of a yard ("yardarm"), termed port brace and starboard brace of a given yard or sail (e.g., the starboard main-brace is the brace fixed to the right end of the yard of the main sail). the braces are fixed to the outer ends of the yards, and are led to the deck as far aft as possible, to allow the crew to haul on them. the lower yards' braces can usually run directly to the deck, but to do so with those higher up would mean that most of the force was pulling downwards rather than backwards. instead, the braces for the upper yards run to another mast and thence to the deck. on the aftermost mast, this may mean they have to be led forwards instead of backwards. braces from the aftermost mast that run to the very stern of the ship often pass through blocks attached to short outriggers projecting from the side of the ship in order to improve their lead. these projections are called "bumkins" and can be seen in the picture. in many ways, braces are the equivalent of a modern yacht's sheets. however, where adjusting a sail on a yacht is a simple operation performed often, tacking or wearing ship using the braces usually requires the entire crew to be called to "bracing stations". this is because the braces carry heavy loads but have few blocks and hence each one needs many people hauling, and because most ships with braces have many sails and hence many such teams. for this reason, all manoeuvres require plenty of notice (one reason falling overboard is especially to be avoided from such a ship) and routine course changes may be planned well in advance for a time when as few of the crew as possible wish to be asleep. the sails on a tall ship's mast must all be turned together, because of all the gear that runs between them. the rate of turn is set by the course, the heaviest yard and hence the most difficult to move. the teams on the other braces for that mast must watch the course and keep their own yard in line with it. the braces may be marked with leather tags or twine seizings to indicate the centre ("square") position and the two extremes, though these marks may not always be accurate due to stretch in the line. gulliver mickey is a black and white mickey mouse short, produced by walt disney and released by united artists in 1934. mickey is first seen reading "gulliver's travels" while the mice orphan children are pretending to be sailors. after poking mickey with a pin, mickey tries to make it up to them by retelling the liliput sequences of "gulliver's travels", pretending it was a real event that happened to him by portraying the role of gulliver. the story ends with mickey saving the town from a giant spider (pete). however, after telling the story, one of the children dangles a fake spider attached to a fishing rod, which scares mickey out of his wits. as soon as mickey had managed to struggle to be free from the spider's long legs, he immediately gets the spider away. but in mickey's story, he is battling a cushion making feathers fly everywhere! this short would later be adapted as part of the timeless river world in "kingdom hearts ii" as a mission where sora, donald duck and goofy protect the town from the heartless, led by one attacking from an airplane. "gangan comics" ran the manga for approximately ten years and 37 volumes were published. the manga combines a serious story with an irreverent tone; characters frequently shift between heroic and pathetic as the situation warrants. the manga also contains a myriad of unconventional running gags, such as hamel's repeated attempts to force other members of the party into costume. each chapter is referred to as a movement. the setting resembles a medieval europe judging by the architecture, the way people are dressed, and the local environment shown in the background. the world in which the story takes place is like an alternate universe in which, chronologically, many things do not makes sense. in fact, despite the medieval feeling with demons and magic, there are also technologically super advanced flying battleships and carriers, tanks and cities made completely of metal platings with siege machines. also, the pieces played by hamel and raiel on their instruments are actually real pieces composed by real historical composers such as beethoven, tchaikovsky, schumann, schubert, mozart, haydn, etc. despite many of these figures existing much later in history. the world they live in is referred to as europe, however, the map shown has absolutely no resemblance to europe at all. most countries and characters are named after musical themes, be they instruments, tones, beats, etc. there is presence of both fantasy and science fiction elements. the world they currently live in is dominated by two races, the human race and the mazoku race. the mazoku are demonic creatures that once ruled their world, until they were all sealed away into a tiny box by a heroic angel 500 years ago. an age of prosperity and peace arose and human civilization blossomed. cities were built and nations were created. science advanced in some, while magic became the source of power for others. one day, a woman by the name of pandora accidentally opens the box containing all the demons, releasing them all from their imprisonment, darkening the skies and dooming human race to extinction at the hands of the mazoku. in a desperate attempt to save humanity, the demon king chestra, who was also released from that box, was sealed again. pandora's two children, who were fathered by chestra as part of the deception used to trick her, were separated as infants; one was taken by the mazoku, the other remained with her mother. in order to keep the world safe, the box that sealed the demon king, now named pandora's box, was sent far away, and the key that opened the box was also sent far away, in hopes that even if the mazoku would ever get their hands on one, they would not be able to make use of it. all the demons who were released then headed north, and occupied the northern-most continent and called it their capital, hameln. now humans fight a never-ending war against the demons in order to survive. pandora's children - one who lives with the humans, and is hated by all those around him; the other, living with the mazoku who have never shown her any sign of affection - are destined to be reunited and bring an end to the war, one way or another. the plot for the manga revolves around the hero hamel who travels northbound towards the continent of demons in order to avert a great disaster. using his magical oversized violin, he plays music that would force his enemies to repent for their sins and kill themselves – or so that was how the story should have been. the so-called hamel is instead a selfish, cowardly, heartless, and immoral fiend that seeks to take advantage of those around him, and extort from those he saves. after saving the remote village of staccato from nearby demons, he decides to abduct an orphaned girl named flute as payment for his services. hamel, flute, and oboe, hamel's advisor who is a talking crow, head north on their long, arduous and ridicule filled journey. along the way, they meet raiel, the hero of love who plays beautiful and powerful tunes that can summon spirits and manipulate people with his 500 kg solid gold piano; he is actually hamel's childhood friend. their first encounter results in a not so deadly battle for revenge. next they encounter trombone, the young prince of dal segno, the warrior nation renowned for their knights and their swordsmanship. having his country burned to the ground and his parents murdered in front of his eyes, the young prince swears revenge and joins are party northwards in their quest. adventure, hilarity, and humiliation ensues as hamel leads the ragtag band north while performing street performances bicker with each other. along the way, they fight dreadful enemies and eventually meet hell hawk king sizer, one of the lords of hell, the guardians of the demons legions. in a mostly one sided battle, hamel's violin is broken. it is also revealed that hamel is actually the son of the demon king chestra, and that he heads north in order to defeat his father and save his mother pandora. as they venture further north, they eventually reach the kingdom of sforzando, one of the most powerful nations of their world, renowned for their magi-knight corps, their healing magic, and the strongest woman alive, queen horn. while at sforzando, they meet the head priest of sforzando, they greatest magic user in all of their kingdom, who immediately takes a dislike to hamel. it is revealed that flute, the victim of hamel's humiliating antics was actually the only princess of sforzando, who was unfortunately abandoned as a baby in order to increase her chance of survival when sforzando was besieged in a dreadful war many years ago. reunited with her estranged mother, flute tries to deal with many pent up emotions while hamel is sent out in order to seek out a man capable of fixing his magical violin. unfortunately, during hamel and raiel's absence, sforzando is besieged yet again by the armies of hell. leading them are dragon king drum and king of the beasts guitar, both extremely strong and one of the 4 lords of hell. a fierce battle ensues, where both powerful forces collide and tens of thousands of both sides perish. in the end, hamel and raiel return after meeting vi olin and having the violin fixed in order to finish their foes off. in a last-ditch effort with everyone attacking at the same time, they manage to subdue the dragon king drum who had turned into a 48 headed hydra. the battle ends with the victory of sforzando, and the revelation that the queen had only a few years left to live, as her barrier magic requires the user to pay by giving up their lifespan. once preparations were done, hamel, raiel, trombone and oboe set off once again on their quest to the northern continent. torn between wanting to stay with her newly reunited mother and rejoining her rather ungrateful companions on their journey, she eventually chooses to follow hamel and slowly realizes her feelings for him. at this point, the party splits up. raiel heads to staccato to deliver the money given to hamel should he choose to leave flute behind in sforzando; trombone goes back to dal segno to pay respects to those who perished there; flute, hamel and oboe head north, and are joined by cornet, clarinet's younger sister. a sequel to the series called violinist of hameln: shchelkunchik started serialization in january 2008. it involves the travels of a young boy named schel who wishes to become a wizard. along the way he meets hamel's son great. the tv adaptation was twenty-five episodes long and suffered from budget constraints. a substantial portion of the story is told by panning over still images, with full animation reserved mainly for action-heavy scenes. the anime has a darker setting than the manga, and although it initially follows the basic outline of the manga's plot, the two stories completely diverge by the anime's conclusion. also of note is a 30-minute animated movie, whose storyline does not intersect with the tv series. the movie was released several months before the tv series, and benefits from a substantially higher animation budget. the game was made for snes by enix (which also published the gangan comics magazine) and is a side-scrolling platformer. it follows the manga reasonably well but changes are made so flute is met at the beginning of the story but as the game progresses huge jumps are made in the story. the game requires you to throw flute and put her in various costumes in order to reach the end of the level. numerous demons from the manga appear in the game as bosses. throughout the game hamel will pick up numerous costumes that flute will wear in order to reach the goal. ostrich - allows flute to walk on spikes frog - when ridden flute will jump very high robot - when jumped on will destroy blocks duck - can swim across water and will dive when jumped on penguin - can swim across water and will dash when jumped on monster -

who radiates so much power they can live off it indefinitely. the sequel. the plot takes place 20 years after the war against the mazoku. it features the children of protagonists of violinist of hameln. the "shchelkunchik" subtitle is the original russian name for "the nutcracker" ballet. it ran for 8 volumes, ending abruptly with watanabe citing health issues. a few years after the sequel manga abruptly ended, watanabe created a sort of alternate universe version of the original series. violinist of hameln zoku. zoku can mean "family" or "tribe", in this case "family" is the most probable intention. very little is known about the series, as no one has attempted to translate it. it started in 2013 and it's still running. ali al'amin mazrui (24 february 1933 – 12 october 2014), was an academic professor, and political writer on african and islamic studies and north-south relations. he was born in mombasa, kenya. his positions included director of the institute of global cultural studies at binghamton university in binghamton, new york, and director of the center for afro-american and african studies at the university of michigan. he produced the television documentary series "". mazrui was born on 24 february 1933 in mombasa, kenya colony. he was the son of al-amin bin ali mazrui, the chief islamic judge in kadhi courts of kenya colony. his father was also a scholar and author, and one of his books has been translated into english by hamza yusuf as "the content of character", to which ali supplied a foreword. the mazrui family was a historically wealthy and important family in kenya, having previously been the rulers of mombasa. ali's father was the chief kadhi of kenya, the highest authority on islamic law. mazrui credited his father for instilling in him the urge for intellectual debate, as his father not only participated in court proceedings but also was a renowned pamphleteer and public debater. mazrui would, from a young age, accompany his father to court and listen in on his political and moral debates. mazrui initially intended to follow the path of his father as an islamist and pursue his study in al-azhar university in egypt. due to poor performance in the cambridge school certificate examination in 1949, mazrui was refused entry to makerere college (now makerere university), the only tertiary education institute in east africa at that time. he then worked in the mombasa institute of muslim education (now technical university of mombasa). mazrui attended primary school in mombasa, where he recalled having learned english specifically to participate in formal debates, before he turned the talent to writing. journalism, according to mazrui, was the first step he took down the academic road. in addition to english, mazrui also spoke swahili and arabic. after getting a kenyan government scholarship, mazrui furthered his study and obtained his b.a. with distinction from manchester university in great britain in 1960, his m.a. from columbia university in new york in 1961, and his doctorate (dphil) from oxford university (nuffield college) in 1966. he was influenced by kwame nkrumah's ideas of pan-africanism and consciencism, which formed the backbone of his discussion on africa's triple heritage (africanity, islam and christianity). mazrui began his academic career at the university of makerere in uganda, where he had dreamed of attending since he was a child. at makerere, mazrui served as a professor of political science, and began drawing his international acclaim. mazrui felt that his years at makerere were some of the most important and productive of his life. he told his biographer that 1967, when he published three books, was the year that he had made his declaration to the academic world "that i planned to be prolific – for better or for worse!" during his time at makerere, mazrui also directed the world order models project in the department of political science, a project which brought together political scientists from across the world to discuss what an international route to lasting peace might be. mazrui reflected that he felt forced to leave the university of makerere. his departure was likely the result of his desire to remain a neutral academic in the face of pressures to attach his growing prestige as a political thinker to one of the regional factions. his first solicitation was from john okello, the leader of the zanzibar revolution, who came to mazrui's house in 1968 to urge mazrui to join his cause. okello originally tried to convince mazrui to become an advisor to him and then simply tried to enlist mazrui's assistance in writing a constitution for zanzibar. mazrui told okello that, while he was inclined to sympathize with the cause, it would be a violation of the moral duty of a professor and an academic to join with a political agenda. this incident shows the level of international prestige that mazrui had already accumulated. okello had sought him out specifically because he knew and valued ali's reputation as an anti-imperialist intellectual. mazrui was later approached by idi amin who was the president of uganda at the end of mazrui's time at makerere. amin, according to mazrui, wanted mazrui to become his special adviser. mazrui declined this invitation, for fear that it would be unsafe, and by doing so lost his political standing in uganda. this would be what mazrui ultimately felt forced him to leave the university of makerere. mazrui often said that he would like to return to uganda, but cited his strained relationship with the ugandan government, as well as the unfriendliness of the ugandan people towards a kenyan political scientist as the factors keeping him away. in 1974, mazrui was hired as a professor of political science at the university of michigan. during his time at michigan, mazrui also held a professorship at the university of jos in nigeria. he held that spending time teaching and being part of the discourse in africa was important to not losing his understanding of the african perspective. from 1978 until 1981 mazrui served as the director of the center for afro-american and african studies (caas) at the university of michigan. while he had a relatively quiet tenure in the chair, his presence there was important for a couple reasons. first, it was a central view of mazrui's that the african american and the african connection had to be strengthened. he believed the way to better africa was to educate african americans in global politics and to strengthen their connection with africa, all things that could be under the purview of caas. however he also seemed to doubt the ability of a program like caas to accomplish anything. during his earlier years at u of m he criticized such programs saying that, in response to black activism, "some universities just established a black-studies program with a kind of political cynicism which i found rather difficult to admire, to say the very least." mazrui taught at the university of michigan until 1989, when he took a two-year leave of absence to accept the albert schweitzer professorship at suny binghamton. mazrui's departure from u of m was no less eventful than his departure from makerere. mazrui announced his resignation from the university of michigan on 29 may 1991. leading up to this point, there had been a highly publicized bidding war between u of m and suny. reportedly, suny offered mazrui a $500,000 package which included a $105,000 salary (as compared to his $71,500 salary at u of m) as well as the funds for three professors of mazrui's choosing, three graduate assistants, a secretary, and travel expenses. the university of michigan reportedly matched this offer, but mazrui decided it was too little too late. he stated that he was unconvinced by u of m's commitment to the study of political science in the third world. both governor mario cuomo from new york and governor james blanchard from michigan gave mazrui personal calls to convince him to choose the university in their states. the whole affair sparked questions about the commodification as well as the celebrity of university professors. his departure also caused a conversation about racial diversity at the university of michigan; a conversation he had not been a huge part of for the fifteen years while he was on the u of m campus. in spite of the university of michigan's efforts to retain ali mazrui, james duderstadt, the president of the university at the time, came under heavy fire for not being proactive enough in the retention of an esteemed black professor. mazrui had been hired in 1974, while the university was under heavy criticism, especially from the second black action movement, for not keeping its promises for diversity in the student body and among the faculty. in contrast, duderstadt argued that, by 1989, the university was doing a much better job of diversifying. they had added 45 minority faculty that year, 13 more than the year before and the college of literature, science and the arts had seen "skyrocketing minority recruitment." even still there was a worry that the university was focusing only on recruiting minorities, and not on making them stick around. in addition to his appointments as the albert schweitzer professor in the humanities, professor in political science, african studies, philosophy, interpretation and culture and the director of the institute of global cultural studies (igcs), mazrui also held three concurrent faculty appointments as albert luthuli professor-at-large in the humanities and development studies at the university of jos in nigeria, andrew d. white professor-at-large emeritus and senior scholar in africana studies at cornell university, ithaca, new york and chancellor of the jomo kenyatta university of agriculture and technology, nairobi, kenya. in 1999, mazrui retired as the inaugural walter rodney professor at the university of guyana, georgetown, guyana. mazrui has also been a visiting scholar at stanford university, the university of chicago, colgate university, mcgill university, national university of singapore, oxford university, harvard university, bridgewater state college, ohio state university, and at other institutions in cairo, australia, leeds, nairobi, teheran, denver, london, baghdad, and sussex, amongst others. in 2005, ali mazrui was selected as the 73rd topmost intellectual person in the world on the list of top 100 public intellectuals by "prospect magazine" (uk) and "foreign policy" (united states). the inspiration for his documentary series "" was ali's view was that much of modern africa could be described by its three main influences: this trinity was illustrated in mazrui's own life. he spoke english, arabic, and swahili from a young age. mazrui believed there were six paradoxes that are central to understanding africa: mazrui argued that, as long as africa remained dependent on the developed world, no relationship between the developed world and africa would be beneficial to africa. in the face of détente between the us and the ussr, mazrui was quoted as saying, "when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. when elephants make love, however, it is also the grass that suffers." mazrui believed the greatest resource that africa possessed was the african people. in particular, he pointed to african americans, arguing that they must remember their african heritage and find a way to exert their influence over u.s. foreign policy if africa ever hopes to climb out of its marginal position. ali explained to a friend that his joint professorship at michigan and jos was his attempt to be a part of such a connection. some of mazrui's work has been translated into english by poetry translation centre. in addition to his academic appointments, mazrui also served as president of the african studies association (usa) and as vice-president of the international political science association and has also served as special advisor to the world bank. he has also served on the board of the american muslim council, washington, d.c. mazrui's research interests included african politics, international political culture, political islam and north-south relations. he is author or co-author of more than twenty books. mazrui has also published hundreds of articles in major scholastic journals and for public media. he has also served on the editorial boards of more than twenty international scholarly journals. mazrui was widely consulted by heads of states and governments, international media and research institutions for political strategies and alternative thoughts. he first rose to prominence as a critic of some of the accepted orthodoxies of african intellectuals in the 1960s and 1970s. he was critical of african socialism and all strains of marxism. he argued that communism was a western import just as unsuited for the african condition as the earlier colonial attempts to install european type governments. he argued that a revised liberalism could help the continent and described himself as a proponent of a unique ideology of "african liberalism". at the same time he was a prominent critic of the current world order. he believed the current capitalist system was deeply exploitative of africa, and that the west rarely if ever lived up to their liberal ideals and could be described as global apartheid. he has opposed western interventions in the developing world, such as the iraq war. he has also long been opposed to many of the policies of israel, being one of the first to try to link the treatment of palestinians with south africa's apartheid. especially in recent years, mazrui has also become a well known commentator on islam and islamism. while rejecting violence and terrorism mazrui has praised some of the anti-imperialist sentiment that plays an important role in modern islamic fundamentalism. he has also argued, controversially, that sharia law is not incompatible with democracy. in addition to his written work, mazrui was also the creator of the television series "", which was jointly produced by the bbc and the public broadcasting service (weta, washington) in association with the nigerian television authority, and funded by the annenberg/cpb project. a book by the same title was jointly published by bbc publications and little, brown and company. "the africans" was a controversial series for some. in the uk, where it aired on the bbc, it slid more or less under the radar. in the united states however, where it aired on some pbs channels, "the africans" drew a great amount of scrutiny for being allegedly anti-western. according to critics, "the africans" blames too many of africa's problems on the negative influences of europe and america, and the loudest criticisms came for the portrayal of muammar el-qaddafi as a virtuous leader. the loudest critic of the documentary series was lynne cheney, who was at the time the chairman of the national endowment for the humanities (neh). the endowment had put $600,000 toward the funding of "the africans" and lynne cheney felt that mazrui had not held to the conditions on which the endowment had granted the funding. cheney said that she was promised a variety of interviews presenting different sides of the story, and was outraged when there were no such interviews in the show. lynne cheney demanded that the neh name and logo be removed from the credits. she also had the words "a commentary" added to the american version of the series, alongside ali mazrui's credits. in defense of "the africans" and its alleged bias, mazrui made the statement "i was invited by pbs and the bbc to tell the american and british people about the african people, a view from the inside. i am surprised, then, that people are disappointed not to get an american view. an effort was made to be fair but not to sound attractive to americans." ward chamberlain, the president of series co-producer weta, also stepped in to publicly defend the series and mazrui by saying that, in a fair telling of history, the western world shouldn't be expected to come out looking good from the african perspective. his experience as a controversial figure was different in the two continents. while he was surrounded by controversy at u of m (he has been accused of being anti-semitic, anti-american, and generally radical) he wrote to his african colleagues saying that the debate had remained remarkably civil and academic. on the other hand, in jos, things got so heated that the university faculty once put out a flyer threatening to punish anti-mazrui libel "in the pugilist style." ironically, the libeler was a socialist accusing mazrui of being overly imperialist for participating in western dialogues. probably the most fire mazrui came under during his tenure at the university of michigan was in response to his views on the israel-palestine conflict. mazrui was an outspoken supporter of palestine and, more than that, an outspoken critic of the state of israel. mazrui made the argument that israel and the zionist movement behaved in an imperialist fashion and that they used their biblical beliefs and the events of the holocaust for political gain . he went so far as to call the israeli government "fascist" in its behavior. needless to say, this sparked a great deal of controversy. the large jewish population at the university of michigan was highly critical of these remarks, accusing him of anti-semitism. in the campus newspaper, "the michigan daily", there was a prolonged back-and-forth in 1988. one student wroth "mazrui is completely ignorant regarding jewish faith and history. to compare israel to nazi germany is the ultimate racial slur … to digress from politics to anti-semitic tones only fuels the fire of hatred." on the other hand, in a joint letter to the "michigan daily", members of the palestine solidarity committee wrote "a recent letter has accused dr. ali mazrui and his supporters of anti-semitism… we categorically reject this vicious slander." mazrui, in his own defense, stated unequivocally that he was anti-zionist, but that that was a fundamentally different thing from anti-semitism. he admitted to having problems with the israeli government and the zionist movement, but said that he held these views independent of any views about the jewish people as an ethnicity. throughout his career mazrui held the controversial position that the only way to prevent a nuclear holocaust was to arm the third world (africa in particular) with nuclear weapons. this was a view spotlighted in "the africans." speaking largely with a mind to cold war international politics, mazrui argued that the world needed more than two sides holding nuclear arms. by virtue of the continent's central location and relative non-alignment, he argued that africa would be the perfect keeper of the peace between the east and the west. furthermore, as long as the third world didn't have nuclear capabilities, it would continue to be marginalized on the global stage. this view encountered heavy criticism from those who believed that the more countries with nuclear capabilities, and the more unstable those countries are politically, the greater the risk of some leader or military organization launching nuclear missiles. mazrui was a regular contributor to newspapers in kenya, uganda, and south africa, most notably the "daily nation" (nairobi), "the standard" (nairobi), the "daily monitor" (kampala), and the "city press" (johannesburg). mazrui was ranked among the world's top 100 public intellectuals by readers of "prospect magazine" (uk) "foreign policy magazine" (washington, d.c.) (see the 2005 global intellectuals poll). according to press reports, mazurui had not been feeling well for several months prior to his death. he died of natural causes at his home in vestal in new york on sunday, 12 october 2014. his body was repatriated to his hometown mombasa and it arrived early morning on sunday 19 october. it was taken to the family home where it was washed as per islamic custom. the funeral prayer was held at the mbaruk mosque in old town and he was laid to rest at the family's mazrui graveyard opposite fort jesus. his burial was attended by cabinet secretary najib balala, majority leader aden bare duale, governor hassan ali joho; and senators hassan omar and abu chiaba. visionary underground are a technology driven, audiovisual collective from london. at vu's

specializes in leasing and aircraft as well as in air rescue. global air began operations in february 1990 under the name of damojh aerolíneas s.a. de c.v., based in guadalajara. until december 2011 it was based at the mexico city international airport; it subsequently built new hangars and an apron at the capitán rogelio castillo national airport located in celaya, guanajuato. on may 19, 2018 the mexican government announced that its national civil aviation authority was to begin an operational audit of global air to see if the airline was in compliance with regulations, on may 21, 2018, the mexican directorate general of civil aviation temporarily revoked the company's airworthiness licence both following a fatal air accident in cuba when one of their aircraft, a boeing 737-200 adv. wet-leased to cubana de aviación, crashed shortly after takeoff from havana, killing 112 of the 113 people on board. the company operates national and international charter flights within mexico and to the caribbean, central and south america. as of may 2018, global air (damojh aerolíneas, s.a. de c.v.) operates two boeing 737s: bendigo stock exchange (bsx) was a small stock exchange based in australia. the exchange targeted its listing rules at small to medium-sized businesses and offered lower listing fees than the australian securities exchange. it listed various small companies, property trusts, and community-based businesses (such as community bank franchises of the bendigo bank). trading was all-electronic, conducted by an order matching system in strict price time order. trading hours were from 9.00am until 2.30pm each weekday after being aligned with newcastle stock exchange hours. the trading system had been merged onto the nsx nets platform where stockbrokers can trade either market. the exchange has a long history. it was founded in the 1860s as the sandhurst mining exchange (bendigo was called sandhurst before it became a city), to list shares in mining companies working the rich goldfields of bendigo and surrounding areas. the 1870s were the heyday of the exchange, business was booming, and special trains brought investors from melbourne to buy shares. in november 1871, the exchange had over 1300 listed companies, with a total capitalization around £10,000,000. the great depression of the 1930s hit the exchange hard, and world war ii saw the closure of almost all mines. in june 2012, it was purchased by the national stock exchange of australia who decided to shut it down. nsx limited acquired bsx on 12 april 2005. brooks island regional preserve includes both the of brooks island above the low-tide line and of the surrounding bay. the only public access to the island now is via an east bay regional park district naturalist tour. brooks island is a mostly flat strip of land extending from a round hill, named jefferds hill, which peaks at in san francisco bay, located just south of the richmond inner harbor in richmond, california. originally named as "isla de cármen" by a spanish explorer, the island was named brooks island on california maps in 1853. the eponymous brooks has never been identified. it has also been called sheep island and rocky island at various times. the island was bought by the regional parks district in 1968, and was opened to the public in 1988. access is now available through ranger-led guided tours. on the island are the remains of several shellmounds left from prolonged occupation by native americans, most likely people from the ohlone tribe, sustained by the abundant sea life in the surrounding bay. the park district's 1976 resource analysis identified the tribes as "huchium [huchiun] or perhaps chochenyo", and speculated that as many as 15,000 people might have lived on the land over the course of 2,000 to 3,000 years. the first archeological excavation on brooks island was conducted by nels nelson of uc berkeley in 1907. more systematic excavations of shellmounds on brooks island began in 1960 with the excavation of shellmound sites cco-290 and cco-291 on the northeast shore by george coles of contra costa college, and vera-mae and dave fredrickson. coles' excavation of the largest shellmound (d. 2015) during the 1960s, which produced carbon-14 dates of 1,700–2,000 years before present for the oldest materials in the mound. coles estimated that the ohlone occupation of the site may date back more than 3,000 years. his study found bones from cormorants, ducks and other waterbirds (but no pelicans). marine mammal bones included harbor seals, sea lions, porpoises and whales. these early residents used atlatls and harpoons with bone points. even though the mound showed evidence of large catches of fish, especially herring, there were no fishhooks found, indicating that perhaps nets were used. mollusks such as mussels, oysters, and clams were a large portion of the diet. from cco-290, vera-mae fredrickson reported the excavation of two small, elongated, painted pebbles of fine-grained sandstone, one with a single 4mm red band across it, the other with two. frederickson was unable to find similar specimens elsewhere in central california, but did note similarities with pebbles excavated near los angeles. comparison with other similar painted stones and shells suggested that they might have been used as gaming pieces or dice, or that the two designs might have been intended to symbolize male and female elements. coles's research showed that the use of the island was stable over a long period, but not whether occupation there was year-round or seasonal. kent lightfoot of uc berkeley is reanalyzing coles's material to determine whether seasonal patterns can be identified. the latest carbon-14 date from the shellmound material is about 300 years ago, but it is possible that the island was used until the era of european contact. the richmond museum of history acquired coles's collection of brooks island artifacts following his death in 2015. juan manuel de ayala conducted the first nautical survey of san francisco bay in 1775 and named the island isla de cármen. in the early 19th century, while california was a spanish colony, it became part of rancho san pablo. however, spanish records from that period do not mention any settlement on the island. by 1850, the island appears on a charts of the bay labeled brooks island, a name that was formalized in the state legislature's definitive map of california in 1853. however, no record has been found as to which brooks the island was named for. during the 19th century the island was also called sheep island. one apocryphal story relates how a croatian immigrant named luccas gargurevich who settled on the island in 1870 told his son anton that "the man on goat island raised sheep, and i raised goats, so i have named it sheep island." despite this, gargurevich seems unlikely to be the source for this alternative name as sheep island appears on an 1856 map. in 1880, gargurevich was joined on the island by his new wife dominica, and they had nine children while living there. to educate them, he built a schoolroom and hired a teacher who traveled from oakland. after dominica died in childbirth, luccas and his children left the island. today, only a stone wall remains from the buildings of this period. as well as using the island to graze sheep and cattle in the 19th century, the nearshore waters were also used for oyster farming. also during the 1870s, the central pacific railroad drew up plans to build a freight terminal on the island, but work was never begun. the first quarry opened on the southern flank of the island in 1892. quarrying of the greywacke sandstone continued for 46 years until 1938, leading to another alternative name: rocky island. the quarrying operation continued in the early decades of the 20th century, with prisoners from san quentin reportedly using the stone from this quarry to build the prison's south cell block (completed in 1913). during world war i the u.s. navy considered leveling brooks island to build a battleship dock. by 1917, the navy had determined that the existing mare island naval shipyard was suitable only for ships with a maximum draft of 30 feet, and that a new yard should be developed in san francisco bay to cater for ships up to 40 feet in draft. starting with a list of 17 localities around the bay, the navy narrowed this to four: hunters point, alameda, goat island (now known as yerba buena island) and richmond–albany. the navy considered four alternative plans in the richmond–albany area. three of the four would have been at sites between brooks island and point isabel (to the east); the other plan proposed a site to the west of brooks island. however, the dock was eventually built at hunters point in san francisco instead. the island also housed as a shrimp processing factory for a time. in the 1923, the u.s. army corps of engineers was assigned to build the initial of a breakwater or "training wall" heading west of brooks island to protect the richmond inner harbor and preserve the deep harbor channel connecting the bay with the port of richmond. again, stone from the quarry at the southern tip of brooks island was used for this purpose. over many years of subsequent repairs and extensions, the training wall grew to about and siltation built up sand flats of about along its length. the scale of quarrying accelerated from 1918. sandstone from the brooks island quarry was reportedly used for the foundations of treasure island (1936-7), the bay bridge toll plaza (1936) and berkley's aquatic park (1937). the quarry ceased operating in the 1940s. following world war ii there were several unrealized plans for the island, including one in the 1950s by the city of richmond to build a heliport and a causeway from point isabel and one by the marine engineering company ben c. gerwick, inc. to flatten the hill in order to facilitate industrial and commercial development. at the same time, there were unrealized plans for a public park by contra costa county (1955) and the state (1956), followed by an attempt by richmond in 1961 to buy the island for a small boat harbor. the purchase price proved too expensive for the city. in the 1960s, the property was leased by the sheep island gun club, which stocked the island with a variety of exotic game birds, including pheasants (1962), chukar and bobwhite quail for shooting. club members included singer frank sinatra and vic bergeron, owner of trader vic's restaurant. at one point, the club attempted to stock the island with deer, but the deer tended to swim back to the mainland. after many attempts at commercial development, in 1968 the main portion of the island was purchased by the east bay regional park district from a family trust for $625,000, funded by grants from the federal department of housing and urban development and california state recreation and park bond. ebrpd later added surrounding tide lands to this initial purchase and the city of richmond purchased the sand spit and adjoining water lots. the state purchased the final private lot on the sand spit in 1985, with a plan for this to be leased to ebrpd. despite the change in ownership, the gun club continued to lease the island and kept caretakers there. planning for the park began with the initial public purchase in 1968 but suffered several setbacks. a 1972 concept planning study by an outside consultant was not implemented. ebrpd's 1973 master plan designated the site as a regional shoreline and by 1976 a resource analysis for the island had been prepared and presented at two public hearings in richmond. this analysis highlighted the value of the island's prehistoric settlements and its natural habitat resources and resulted in a new designation as a regional preserve. another hiccup came in 1978 when the land use development plan for the main portion of the island in public ownership was not adopted by ebrpd's board. a new ebrpd master plan in 1980 fine-tuned the island's designation once more: it would now be "a regional shoreline to be operated under the regional preserve category". nevertheless, the early 1980s did see substantive progress. ebrpd and richmond formed a liaison committee and agreed to rework the land use development plan to incorporate the whole island, culminating in an environmental impact report (eir) that was presented in richmond in august 1984 and finalized in september 1985. this eir primarily analyzed ebrpd's proposed land use plan, which proposed ending hunting and opening the island to limited public access via a park-owned shuttle boat or private craft. the plan envisaged instituting controlled burns to maintain the balance of grassland and brush, placing a full-time caretaker on the island, using riprap to protect historic sites from erosion, and closing bird island and the west end of the sandspit to protect birds' nesting areas. the plan was to be funded from a 1984 statewide bond. the eir also considered six alternatives. the mandatory "no project" alternative was seen as degrading the island's habitat over time through increasing shrub growth and subsequent wildfires; the eir painted a picture of the shooting club then abandoning its lease and vandals looting the shellmounds. a second alternative encompassing public suggestions such as a restaurant, observation tower or hotel complex was dismissed as obviously more impactful than the district's plan. greater environmental impacts were also identified for three more alternatives: one with no on-site caretaker (and therefore more vandalism), one with a new pier (expensive and likely infeasible), and one where the caretaker's residence would be relocated. the final alternative considered was for ebrpd to sell the island to a private buyer, which was rejected because of the clear conflict with the district's mission. the island was eventually opened for limited public access in 1988. ebrpd began running interpretive tours in 1991. one caretaker from the regional park district lives on the island year-round in a solar-powered cabin. the remnants of human occupation have generally been left to decay, rather than removed entirely. these include pilings extending into the bay, and equipment and ponds left over from the quarry workings on the southern shore. but the park district caretaker does remove litter that washes up on the beaches. the rock that forms the main peak of the island is radiolarian chert underlain by limestone and graywacke sandstone. all these rocks are part of the franciscan assemblage, the same range as albany hill, 3 miles south, and the coyote hills, 25 miles south in hayward. this franciscan formation is derived from sediments laid down in the sea west of san francisco during the late jurassic and cretaceous (150-66 million years ago) and then scraped off onto the edge of the north american plate during the subduction of the farallon plate. the main portion of the island covers an area of approximately , with the tidal lands along the breakwater covering approximately more. a short distance from the southwest coast of the main island is bird rock or bird island, occupying approximately . the sandspit that extends for about two miles west of the main island formed along a breakwater that was installed in the 1920s to preserve a deepwater channel to the richmond inner harbor. during the last ice age san francisco bay was a valley, and brooks island was just one hill of many along its western slope. as sea level rose, the valley was flooded and brooks island was cut off from the rest of the east bay. although the island is quite small, there is a permanent spring, which is used by the caretakers as a water source. the island hosts salt marshes, tidal flats and has a rise of . it is home to many bird species, including herons and egrets, and provides their nesting sites. some parts of the islands are off limits to visitors to protect nesting sites. brooks island had no native land mammals prior to european contact. domestic mammals including cattle, sheep, goats, horses and dogs were introduced intentionally between the late 18th and mid-20th centuries. house mice ("mus musculus") and norway rats ("rattus norvegicus") were apparently introduced accidentally during this period. although mice were later displaced by voles, norway rats persist along the island's shores, where they have access to carrion and marine food sources, such as bay mussels ("mytilus trossulus"). during dry periods, rats may occasionally prey on voles. at one point, the island caretaker controlled the rat population through poisoning. one mammal species was apparently introduced deliberately by biologists. in the summer of 1957, seven california voles ("microtus californicus"), four males and three females, were introduced to bird island with the apparent aim of measuring the population growth rate on an unoccupied land mass. very quickly, voles were discovered to have crossed the of water eastward to brooks island and were reproducing there. within two years, they had spread across the entire island from west to east and had apparently exterminated the entire population of house mice. the biologists believed this occurred because the stress of competition caused the house mice to stop reproducing. today, voles are present throughout brooks island, but most notably in the grassland habitat, where the ground is riddled with burrows. the population has a very high frequency of buff fur color, thought to be a founder effect due to the small original population. brooks island is a habitat for harbor seals that haul out at the island en route from their nearby rookery on the castro rocks. when the sea level rose after the ice age, populations of salamanders and garter snakes were marooned on brooks island, where they persist today. there are three species of amphibians on the island. the slender salamander ("batrachoseps attenuatus") is found in the north and east of the island, where the soil is damp most of the year. the arboreal salamander ("aneides lugubris") is represented by a small population around the pond in the former quarry on the southern shore. the pacific tree frog ("pseudacris regilla") has also been reported from brooks island, but it is unclear whether there is a breeding population. two color phases of the western terrestrial garter snake ("thamnophis elegans"), one with a red background the other with a green background, are present on brooks island. they're believed to prey on the northern alligator lizard ("elgaria coerulea") which lives around the island's ponds, as well as tree frogs and the ponds' population of introduced mosquitofish ("gambusia affinis"). on one occasion a western pond turtle ("actinemys marmorata") was recorded. more than 100 species of birds have been recorded on brooks island, and 18 species nest there. the island hosts the san francisco bay’s largest nesting colony of caspian terns. the terns are relatively recent arrivals, first recorded in the south bay in 1922 and nesting on brooks island since around 1980. they now occupy much of the man-made sandspit that stretches west from the north side of the island. the terns feed on fish from areas around the golden gate and san pablo bay. however, the tern population has been decreasing, apparently due to reduced nesting area. the sandspit is being reduced by erosion from the bay waters, and also by the encroachment of invasive plants such as ice plant and marguerite daisies. the terns face strong competition at brooks island from a growing population of california gulls. the gulls "compete with the terns for nesting sites, steal fish from them, take their eggs, even chicks if they're small enough". many other species of birds, both common and rare, use brooks island. the north-east shore hosts a large seasonal colony of herons and egrets. to the immediate west, bird island is a nesting site for canada geese ("branta canadensis"), for which it was the first breeding location in the bay area, black oystercatchers ("haematopus bachmani"), and western gulls ("larus occidentalis"). the persistence of many of the east bay's native plants on brooks island provides rich habitat for insects. ten percent of the 220 moth and butterfly species recorded on brooks island by uc berkeley entomologist jerry powell and colleagues during the period 1993–1997 were either unknown in the san francisco bay region or unrecorded for 50 to 100 years. these included the mexican tiger moth, not previously thought to occur in the bay area. because of its limited history of human exploitation, plant communities that are rare elsewhere in the east bay remain on brooks island. while brooks island has a variety of plant communities, the most common are coastal grassland and northern coastal scrub. it has been described as a "showcase for coastal grassland, which occurs on the island in a relatively undisturbed state", covering about of mostly flatter terrain. these grassland areas are relatively free of exotic mediterranean grasses and instead are dominated by needlegrasses (purple needlegrass ("nassella pulchra") and other"nassella" spp.), ryegrasses ("lolium" spp.) and fescues ("festuca" spp.). among the grasses are native wildflowers such as blue dicks ("dichelostemma capitatum"), soap plant ("chlorogalum parviflorum") and checker mallow ("sidalcea malviflora"). another notable relict population is the seaside woolly sunflower which is present in only a few other east bay locations. overall, the diverse flora includes about 150 species of flowering plants, of which 92 are native species. there are very few trees on the island: on the northeast side of the island near the shell middens are two clusters of old california buckeyes ("aesculus californica"), a single red willow ("salix laevigata") and some blue elderberry ("sambucus mexicana"). around the two ponds in the quarry on the southern shore are several arroyo willows ("salix lasiolepis"). a few non-native monterey pine ("pinus radiata") and monterey cypress ("cupressus macrocarpa") have also been planted near the caretaker's residence. in mathematics, a free boolean algebra is a boolean algebra with a distinguished set of elements, called generators, such that: the generators of a free boolean algebra can represent independent propositions. consider, for example, the propositions "john is tall" and "mary is rich". these generate a boolean algebra with four atoms, namely: other elements of the boolean algebra are then logical disjunctions of the atoms, such as "john is tall and mary is not rich, or john is not tall and mary is rich". in addition there is one more element, false, which can be thought of as the empty disjunction; that is, the disjunction of no atoms. this example yields a boolean algebra with 16 elements; in general, for finite "n", the free boolean algebra with "n" generators has 2 atoms, and therefore formula_1 elements. if there are infinitely many generators, a similar situation prevails except that now there are no atoms. each element of the boolean algebra is a combination of finitely many of the generating propositions, with two such elements deemed identical if they are logically equivalent. another way to see why the free boolean algebra on an n-element set has formula_1 elements is to note that each element is a function from n bits to one. there are formula_3 possible inputs to such a function and the function will choose 0 or 1 to output for each input, so there are formula_1 possible functions. in the language of category theory, free boolean algebras can be defined simply in terms of an adjunction between the category of sets and functions, set, and the category of boolean algebras and boolean algebra homomorphisms, ba. in fact, this approach generalizes to any algebraic structure definable in the framework of universal algebra. above, we said that a free boolean algebra is a boolean algebra with a set of generators that behave a certain way; alternatively, one might start with a set and ask which algebra it generates. every set "x" generates a free boolean algebra "fx" defined as the algebra such that for every algebra "b" and function "f" : "x" → "b", there is a unique boolean algebra homomorphism "f"′ : "fx" → "b" that extends "f". diagrammatically, where "i" is the inclusion, and the dashed arrow denotes uniqueness. the idea is that once one chooses where to send the elements of "x", the laws for boolean algebra homomorphisms determine where to send everything else in the free algebra "fx". if "fx" contained elements inexpressible as combinations of elements of "x", then "f"′ wouldn't be unique, and if the elements of "x" weren't sufficiently independent, then "f"′ wouldn't be well defined! it is easily shown that "fx" is unique (up to isomorphism), so this definition makes sense. it is also easily shown that a free boolean algebra with generating set x, as defined originally, is isomorphic to "fx", so the two definitions agree. one shortcoming of the above definition is that the diagram doesn't capture that "f"′ is a homomorphism; since it is a diagram in set each arrow denotes a mere function. we can fix this by separating it into two diagrams, one in ba and one in set. to relate the two, we introduce a functor "u" : ba → set that "forgets" the algebraic structure, mapping algebras and homomorphisms to their underlying sets and functions. if we interpret the top arrow as a diagram in ba and the bottom triangle as a diagram in set, then this diagram properly expresses that every function "f" : "x" → "ub" extends to a unique boolean algebra homomorphism "f"′ : "fx" → "b". the functor "u" can be thought of as a device to pull the homomorphism "f"′ back into set so it can be related to "f". the remarkable aspect of this is that the latter diagram is one of the various (equivalent) definitions of when two functors are adjoint. our "f" easily extends to a functor set → ba, and our definition of "x" generating a free boolean algebra "fx" is precisely that "u" has a left adjoint "f". the free boolean algebra with κ generators, where κ is a finite or infinite cardinal number, may be realized as the collection of all clopen subsets of {0,1}, given the product topology assuming that {0,1} has the discrete topology. for each α<κ, the α"th" generator is the set of all elements of {0,1} whose α"th" coordinate is 1. in particular, the free boolean algebra with formula_5 generators is the collection of all clopen subsets of a cantor space, sometimes called the cantor algebra. surprisingly, this collection is countable. in fact, while the free boolean algebra with "n" generators, "n" finite, has cardinality formula_1, the free boolean algebra with formula_5 generators, as for any free algebra with formula_5 generators and countably many finitary operations, has cardinality formula_5. for more on this topological approach to free boolean algebra, see stone's representation theorem for boolean algebras. mazda was a trademarked name registered by general electric (ge) in 1909 for incandescent light bulbs. the name was used from 1909 through 1945 in the united states by ge and westinghouse. mazda brand light bulbs were made for decades after 1945 outside the us. the company chose the name due to its association with ahura mazda, the transcendental and universal god of zoroastrianism whose name means light of wisdom in the avestan language. in 1909 the mazda name was created for the tungsten filament light bulb. ge sold bulbs under this trademark starting in 1909. ge promoted the mark as identifying tungsten filament bulbs with predictable performance and life expectancy. ge also licensed the mazda name, socket sizes, and tungsten filament technology to other manufacturers to establish a standard for lighting. bulbs were soon sold by many manufacturers with the mazda name licensed from ge, including british thomson-houston in the united kingdom, toshiba in japan, and ge's chief competitor westinghouse. tungsten-filament bulbs of the mazda type were initially more costly than carbon filament bulbs, but used less electricity. often electrical utilities would trade new lamps for consumers' burned-out bulbs. in at least one case the authority regulating energy rates required the utility to use only tungsten bulbs so as not to inflate customer's energy use. the company dropped the campaign in 1945. ge's patents on the tungsten filament lamp expired in the late 1930s and other forms of lighting were becoming more important than incandescent bulbs. ge stopped licensing the trademark to other manufacturers, although it continued to renew the trademark registration up to 1990. the registration on trademark no. 77,779 expired in 2000. modern association of the mazda name is mostly with the mazda automobile manufacturer of japan (which coexisted with toshiba's mazda bulbs in its early years). the mazda trademark is split between the japanese manufacturer where it applies to automobiles (including automobile lights and batteries) and ge for non-automotive uses. ge's mazda bulbs were manufactured at a factory in northeast minneapolis. from the 1930s until 2013, the building was headquarters for minneapolis public schools. frederick ii, the gentle ("friedrich, der sanftmütige"; frederick the gentle) (22 august 1412 – 7 september 1464) was elector of saxony (1428–1464) and was landgrave of thuringia (1440–1445). frederick was born in leipzig, the eldest of the seven children of frederick i, elector of saxony, and catherine of brunswick and lunenburg. after the death of his father in 1428 he took over the government together with his younger brothers william iii, henry and sigismund. in 1433 the wettins finally concluded peace with the hussites and in 1438 frederick led saxon forces to victory in the battle of sellnitz. that same year it was considered the first federal state parliament of saxony. the parliament received the right to find together in case of innovations in fiscal matters also without summoning by the ruler. after henry's death in 1435, and sigismund was forced to renounce and became a bishop in (1440), frederick and william divided their possessions. in the division of altenburg in 1445, william iii received the thuringian and frankish part, and frederick got the eastern part of the principality. the mines remained common possessions. disputes over the distribution led however in 1446 to the saxon brother war, which found an end only on 27 january 1451 with the peace of naumburg. in the treaty of eger in (1459), elector frederick, duke william iii and the king of bohemia george of podebrady fixed the borders between bohemia and saxony, at the height of the ore mountains () and the middle of the elbe which still holds today. it belongs therefore to the oldest still existing borders of europe. after the death of frederick, in leipzig, both of his sons, ernest and albert, first took over the government together. after duke william iii died in 1482, thuringia returned to frederick's line. in leipzig on 3 june 1431 frederick married margaret of austria, the daughter of ernest of austria and cymburgis of masovia. they had eight children: edgar morin (; ; born edgar nahoum on 8 july 1921) is a french philosopher and sociologist who has been internationally recognized for his work on complexity and "complex thought" (), and for his scholarly contributions to such diverse fields as media studies, politics, sociology, visual anthropology, ecology, education, and systems biology. he holds degrees in history, economics, and law. though less well known in the anglophone world due to the limited availability of english translations of his over 60 books, morin is renowned in the french-speaking world, europe, and latin america. at the beginning of the 20th century, morin's family migrated from the greek city of salonica (thessaloniki) to marseille and later to paris, where edgar was born. he is of judeo-spanish (sefardi) origin. when the germans invaded france in 1940, morin assisted refugees and joined the french resistance. as a member of the french resistance he adopted the pseudonym "morin", which he would use for the rest of his life. he joined the french communist party in 1941. in 1945, morin married violette chapellaubeau and they lived in landau, where he served as a lieutenant in the french occupation army in germany. in 1946, he returned to paris and gave up his military career to pursue his activities with the communist party. due to his critical posture, his relationship with the party gradually deteriorated until he was expelled in 1951 after he published an article in "le nouvel observateur". in the same year, he was admitted to the national center of scientific research (cnrs). morin founded and directed the magazine "" (1954–1962). in 1959 his book "autocritique" was published. the book was a sustained reflection on his adherence to, and subsequent exit from, the communist party, focusing on the dangers of ideology and self-deception. in 1960, morin travelled extensively in latin america, visiting brazil, chile, bolivia, peru and mexico. he returned to france, where he published "l'esprit du temps", a work on popular culture"." that same year, french sociologist georges friedmann brought him and roland barthes together to create a centre for the study of mass communication that, after several name changes, became the edgar morin centre of the ehess, paris. also in 1960 morin and jean rouch coauthored the film chronique d'un été, an early example of "cinéma vérité" and direct cinema. beginning in 1965, morin became involved in a large multidisciplinary project, financed by the délégation générale à la recherche scientifique et technologique in plozévet. in 1968, morin replaced henri lefebvre at the . he became involved in the student revolts that began to emerge in france. in may 1968 he wrote a series of articles for le monde that tried to understand what he called "the student commune." he followed the student revolt closely and wrote a second series of articles in le monde called "the revolution without a face," as well as coauthoring "mai 68: la brèche" with cornelius castoriadis and claude lefort. in 1969, morin spent a year at the salk institute for biological studies in la jolla, california. jonas salk invited him under the recommendation of jacques monod and john hunt, with the sole imposed condition of learning. it was there, in this "breeding ground for nobel prizes" that he familiarized himself with systems theory. he read henri laborit, james watson, stéphane lupasco, bronowski, and was introduced to the thought of gregory bateson and the "new problematic in ecology". in 1983 he published "de la nature de l’urss," which deepened his analysis of soviet communism and anticipated the perestroika of mikhail gorbachev. in 2002 morin participated in the creation of the international ethical, scientific and political collegium. also that year, he made a trip to iran with dariush shayegan. in addition to being the unesco chair of complex thought, morin is known as a founder of transdisciplinarity and holds honorary doctorates in a variety of social science fields from 21 universities (messina, geneva, milan, bergamo, thessaloniki, la paz, odense, perugia, cosenza, palermo, nuevo león, université de laval à québec, brussels, barcelona, guadalajara, valencia, vera cruz, santiago, the catholic university of porto alegre, the universidade federal do rio grande do norte, and candido mendes university (rio de janeiro)). the university of messina in sicily, ricardo palma university in lima, and the centre national de la recherche scientifique (cnrs), the french national research center in paris, have established research centers based on his transdisciplinary methods and philosophy. in addition, the multiversidad mundo real edgar morin, a university based on his work, was established in mexico. morin did not embrace the french postmodern or poststructuralist movements, instead pursuing his own research agenda. as a result, us academics did not transport his theories into disciplinary discourses in same fashion as they did foucault's and derrida's. morin's work spans scholarly and popular literature, and he has appeared on the cover of multiple publications including sciences humaines and a special issue of le monde. according to alfonso montuori in "edgar morin: a partial introduction" "the 6 volume method is perhaps morin’s culminating work, a remarkable and seemingly inexhaustible treasure trove of insights, reflection, and a real manual for those who are interested in broadening the nature of human inquiry. drawing on cybernetics, information theory, systems theory, but also integrating all the work he has done before, from the work on imagination in his research on movies to his profound reflections on death, method integrates morin’s journey and provides the reader with an alternative to the traditional assumptions and method of inquiry of our time." fritz the cat is a 1972 american adult animated comedy film written and directed by ralph bakshi. it was bakshi's feature film debut and is loosely based on the fritz the cat comic strips by robert crumb. it was the first animated feature film to receive an x rating in the united states. the film stars fritz (voiced by skip hinnant), an anthropomorphic cat in mid-1960s new york city who explores the ideals of hedonism and sociopolitical consciousness. the film is a satire focusing on american college life of the era, race relations, the free love movement and left-wing politics. the film had a troubled production history and controversial release. crumb had disagreements with the filmmakers over the film's political content. "fritz the cat" was controversial for its rating and content, which many viewers at the time found to be offensive. it was produced on a budget of $700,000 and grossed over $90 million worldwide. its success led to a slew of other x-rated animated films and a sequel, "the nine lives of fritz the cat" (1974), made without crumb's or bakshi's involvement. in the 1960s, at a new york city park, hippies have gathered with guitars to sing protest songs. fritz, a cat, and his buddies show up in an attempt to meet girls. when a trio of attractive women walk by, fritz and his friends exhaust themselves trying to get their attention, but find that the girls are more interested in the crow standing a few feet away. the girls attempt to flirt with the crow, making unintentionally condescending remarks about black people, while fritz looks on in annoyance. suddenly, the crow rebukes the girls with a snide remark, indicates that he is gay and walks away. fritz invites the girls to "seek the truth", bringing them up to his friend's apartment, where a wild party is taking place. since the other rooms are crowded, fritz drags the girls into the bathroom and the four of them have group sex in the bathtub. meanwhile, two bumbling police officers (portrayed as pigs) arrive to raid the party. as they walk up the stairs, one of the party-goers finds fritz and the girls in the bath tub. several others jump in, pushing fritz to the side where he takes solace in marijuana. the two officers break into the apartment, but find that it is empty because everyone has moved into the bathroom. fritz takes refuge in the toilet when one of the pigs enters the bathroom and begins to beat up the partygoers. as the pig becomes exhausted, a very stoned fritz jumps out, grabs the pig's gun, and shoots the toilet, causing the water main to break and flooding everybody out of the apartment. the pigs chase fritz down the street into a synagogue. fritz manages to escape when the congregation gets up to celebrate the united states' decision to send more weapons into israel. fritz makes it back to his dormitory, where his roommates are too busy studying to pay attention to him. he decides to ditch his bore of a life and sets all of his notes and books on fire. the fire spreads throughout the dorm, finally setting the entire building ablaze. in a bar in harlem, fritz meets duke the crow at a billiard table. after narrowly avoiding getting into a fight with the bartender, duke invites fritz to "bug out", and they steal a car, which fritz drives off a bridge, leading duke to save his life by grabbing onto a railing. the two arrive at the apartment of a drug dealer named bertha, whose cannabis joints increase fritz's libido. while having sex with bertha, he comes to a realization that he "must tell the people about the revolution!" he runs off into the city street and incites a riot, during which duke is shot and killed. fritz hides in an alley where his older fox girlfriend, winston schwartz, finds him and drags him on a road trip to san francisco. when their car runs out of gas in the middle of the desert, he decides to abandon her. he later meets up with blue, a heroin-addicted nazi rabbit biker. along with blue's horse girlfriend, harriet, they take a ride to an underground hide-out, where several other revolutionaries tell fritz of their plan to blow up a power station. when harriet tries to get blue to leave with her to go to a chinese restaurant, he hits her several times and ties her down with a chain. when fritz objects to their treatment of her, he is hit in the face with a candle by a member of the group. blue and the other revolutionaries then gang-rape harriet. after setting the dynamite at the power plant, fritz suddenly has a change of heart, and unsuccessfully attempts to remove it before being caught in the explosion. at a los angeles hospital, harriet (disguised as a nun) and the girls from the new york park come to comfort him in what they believe to be his last moments. fritz, after reciting the speech he used to pick up the girls from new york, suddenly becomes revitalized and has sex with the trio of girls while harriet watches in astonishment. robert crumb was still a teenager when he created the character fritz the cat for self-published comics magazines he made with his older brother charles. the character first appeared to a wider public in harvey kurtzman's humor magazine "help!" in 1965. the strips place anthropomorphic characters—normally associated with children's comics—in stories with drugs, sex, and other adult-oriented content. crumb left his wife in 1967 and moved to san francisco, where he took part in the counterculture and indulged in drugs such as lsd. he had countercultural strips published in underground periodicals and in 1968 published the first issue of "zap comix". crumb's cartoons became progressively more transgressive, sexually explicit, and violent, and crumb became the center of the burgeoning underground comix movement. fritz became one of crumb's best-known creations, particularly outside the counterculture. ralph bakshi majored in cartooning at the high school of art and design. he learned his trade at the terrytoons studio in new york city, where he spent ten years animating characters such as mighty mouse, heckle and jeckle, and deputy dawg. at the age of 29, bakshi was hired to head the animation division of paramount pictures as both writer and director, where he produced four experimental short films before the studio closed in 1967. with producer steve krantz, bakshi founded his own studio, bakshi productions. in 1969, ralph's spot was founded as a division of bakshi productions to produce commercials for coca-cola and "max, the 2000-year-old mouse", a series of educational shorts paid for by encyclopædia britannica. however, bakshi was uninterested in the kind of animation he was producing, and wanted to produce something personal. in a 1971 article for the "los angeles times", bakshi said that the idea of "grown men sitting in cubicles drawing butterflies floating over a field of flowers, while american planes are dropping bombs in vietnam and kids are marching in the streets, is ludicrous." bakshi soon developed "heavy traffic", a tale of inner-city street life. however, krantz told bakshi that studio executives would be unwilling to fund the film because of its content and bakshi's lack of film experience. while browsing the east side book store on st. mark's place, bakshi came across a copy of "r. crumb's fritz the cat" (1969). impressed by crumb's sharp satire, bakshi purchased the book and suggested to krantz that it would work as a film. bakshi was interested in directing the film because he felt that crumb's work was the closest to his own. krantz arranged a meeting with crumb, during which bakshi showed crumb drawings that had been created as the result of bakshi attempting to learn crumb's style to prove that he could translate the look of crumb's artwork to animation. impressed by bakshi's tenacity, crumb lent him one of his sketchbooks as a reference. as krantz began to prepare the paperwork, preparation began on a pitch presentation for potential studios, including a poster-sized painted cel setup featuring the strip's cast against a traced photo background, as bakshi intended the film to appear. in spite of crumb's enthusiasm, he was unsure about the film's production, and refused to sign the contract. cartoonist vaughn bodé warned bakshi against working with crumb, describing him as "slick". bakshi later agreed with bodé's assessment, calling crumb "one of the slickest hustlers you'll ever see in your life". krantz sent bakshi to san francisco, where bakshi stayed with crumb and his wife dana in an attempt to persuade crumb to sign the contract. after a week, crumb left, leaving the film's production status uncertain, but dana had power of attorney and signed the contract. crumb received us$50,000, which was delivered throughout different phases of the production, in addition to ten percent of krantz's take. with the rights to the character, krantz and bakshi set out to find a distributor. "when i say that every major distributor turned it down, this is not an exaggeration", remembers krantz. "there has never been a project that was received with less enthusiasm. animation is essentially a dirty word for distributors, who think that only disney can paint a tree, and in addition to that, "fritz" was so far out that there was a failure to understand that we were onto something very important." in the spring of 1970, warner bros. agreed to fund and distribute the film. the harlem sequences were the first to be completed. krantz intended to release these scenes as a 15-minute short if the film's funding was pulled; bakshi was nevertheless determined to complete the film as a feature. late in november, bakshi and krantz screened a presentation reel for the studio with this sequence, pencil tests, and shots of bakshi's storyboards. bakshi stated, "you should have seen their faces in the screening room when i first screened a bit of "fritz". i'll remember their faces until i die. one of them left the room. holy hell, you should have seen his face. 'shut "up", frank! this is not the movie you're allowed to make!' and i said, bullshit, i just made it." the film's budget is disputed. in 1972, "the hollywood reporter" stated that "fritz the cat" recouped its costs in four months following its release. a year later the magazine reported that the film grossed $30 million worldwide and was produced on a budget of $1.3 million. in 1993, director ralph bakshi said ""fritz the cat", to me, was an enormous budget -- at $850,000 -- compared to my terrytoon budgets ..." in an interview published in 1980, bakshi stated "we made the film for $700,000. complete". warner executives wanted the sexual content toned down, and to cast big names for the voices. bakshi refused, and warner pulled their funding from the film, leading krantz to seek funds elsewhere. this led to a deal with jerry gross, the owner of cinemation industries, a distributor specializing in exploitation films. although bakshi did not have enough time to pitch the film, gross agreed to fund its production and distribute it, believing that it would fit in with his grindhouse slate. further financing came from saul zaentz, who agreed to distribute the soundtrack album on his fantasy records label. bakshi was initially reluctant to direct "fritz the cat" because he had spent years working on animated productions featuring animal characters and wanted to make films focusing on human characters. he became interested in working on the film because he loved crumb's work and considered him a "total genius". during the development of the film, bakshi says that he "started to get giddy" when he "suddenly was able to get a pig that was a cop, and this particular other pig was jewish, and i thought, 'oh my god—a jewish pig?' these were major steps forward, because in the initial "heckle and jeckle" for terrytoons, they were two black guys running around. which was hysterically funny and, i think, great—like uncle remus stuff. but they didn't play down south, and they had to change two black crows to two englishmen. and i always told him that the black crows were funnier. so it was a slow awakening." in his notes to animator cosmo anzilotti, bakshi is precise, and even specifies that the crows smoked marijuana rather than tobacco. bakshi states that "the weed had to read on screen. it's an important character detail." the film's opening sequence sets the satirical tone of the film. the setting of the story's period is not only established by a title, but also by a voiceover by bakshi playing a character giving his account of the 1960s: "happy times, heavy times". the film's opening dialogue, by three construction workers on their lunch break, establishes many of the themes discussed in the film, including drug use, promiscuity, and the social and political climate of the era. when one of the workers urinates off of the scaffold, the film's credits play over a shot of the liquid falling against a black screen. when the credits end, it is shown that the construction worker has urinated on a long-haired hippie with a guitar. karl f. cohen writes that the film "is a product of the radical politics of the period. bakshi's depiction of fritz's life is colorful, funny, sexist, raw, violent, and outrageous." of his direction of the film, bakshi stated, "my approach to animation as a director is live action. i don't approach it in the traditional animation ways. none of our characters get up and sing, because that's not the type of picture i'm trying to do. i want people to believe my characters are real, and it's hard to believe they're real if they start walking down the street singing." bakshi wanted the film to be the antithesis of any animated film produced by the walt disney company. accordingly, "fritz the cat" includes two satirical references to disney. in one scene, silhouettes of mickey mouse, daisy duck, and donald duck are shown cheering on the united states air force as it drops napalm on a black neighborhood during a riot. another scene features a reference to the "pink elephants on parade" sequence from "dumbo". a sequence of the camera panning across a garbage heap in an abandoned lot in harlem sets up a visual device which recurs in "hey good lookin'". the original screenplay consisted mostly of dialoge and featured only a few changes from crumb's stories. the script and storyboards went largely unused in favor of more experimental storytelling techniques. bakshi said, "i don't like to jump ahead on my films. the way you feel about a film on day one, you may not feel the same way forty weeks down the road. characters grow, so i wanted to have the option to change things, and strengthen my characters  ... it was sort of a stream of consciousness, and a learning process for myself." bakshi wrote the characters without feral animal behavior to lend the material greater realism. the first part of the film's plot was adapted from a self-titled story published in a 1968 issue of "r. crumb's head comix", while the second part is derived from "fritz bugs out", which was serialized in the february to october 1968 issues of "cavalier", and the final part of the story contains elements of "fritz the no-good", first published in the september/october 1968 issue of "cavalier". the last half of the film makes a major departure from crumb's work. animation historian michael barrier describes this section of the film as being "much grimmer than crumb's stories past that point, and far more violent." bakshi stated that he deviated from the comics because he felt that the strips lacked depth: it was cute, it was sweet, but there was nowhere to put it. that's why crumb hates the picture, because i slipped a couple of things in there that he despises, like the rabbis—the pure jewish stuff. fritz can't hold that kind of commentary. winston is 'just a typical jewish broad from brooklyn'.  ... [the strip] was cute and well-done, but there was nothing that had that much depth. bakshi's unwillingness to use anthropomorphic characters that behaved like feral animals led him to rewrite a scene in "fritz bugs out" where duke saves fritz's life by flying while holding fritz; in the film, duke grabs a railing before the car crashes into the river, a solution that bakshi wasn't entirely satisfied with, but prevented him from having to use any feral animal behavior in that scene. in the film, there are two characters named "winston" – one appears at the beginning and end of the film, the other is fritz's girlfriend winston schwartz. michael barrier notes that winston schwartz (who appears prominently in "fritz bugs out" and "fritz the no-good") never has a proper introduction in bakshi's film, and interprets the naming of a separate character as bakshi's attempt to reconcile this; however, the two characters look and sound nothing alike. bakshi intended to end the film with fritz's death, but krantz objected to this ending, and bakshi eventually changed it to the final ending. the film's voice cast includes skip hinnant, rosetta lenoire, john mccurry, judy engles, and comic book distributor/convention organizer phil seuling. hinnant, who would become known as a featured performer on "the electric company", was cast because he "had such a naturally phony voice", according to bakshi. bakshi and seuling improvised their dialogue as comically inept pig officers; bakshi enjoyed working as a voice actor and later went on to provide voice roles for some of his other films. bakshi re-created the voice he did in this film for the part of a storm trooper in his 1977 animated science fiction film "wizards". some scenes used documentary recordings which were made by bakshi and edited to fit the scene; these were used because bakshi wanted the film to "feel real". according to bakshi, "i made tons and tons of tapes.  ... when i went to have the film mixed, the sound engineers gave me all kinds of crap about the tracks not being professionally recorded; they didn't even want to mix the noise of bottles breaking in the background, street noise, tape hiss, all kinds of shit. they said it was unprofessional, but i didn't care." although the sound designers insisted that bakshi needed to re-record the dialogue in the studio, bakshi persisted on their inclusion. almost all of the film's dialogue, except for that of a few of the main characters, was recorded entirely on the streets of new york city. for the film's opening sequence, bakshi paid two construction workers us$50 each, and drank scotch whisky with them, recording the conversation. in the washington square park sequence, only skip hinnant was a professional actor; fritz's friends were voiced by young males bakshi found in the park. one of the sequences that was not based upon crumb's comics involved a comic chase through a synagogue full of praying rabbis. for the voices of the rabbis, bakshi used a documentary recording of his father and uncles. this scene continued to have a personal significance on bakshi after his father and uncle died. bakshi states, "thank god i have their voices. i have my dad and family praying. it's so nice to hear now." bakshi also went to a harlem bar with a tape recorder and spent hours talking to black patrons, getting drunk with them as he asked them questions. the film's score was composed by ed bogas and ray shanklin. the soundtrack was released by fantasy records and ampex tapes, along with the single, "you're the only girl" b/w "winston". the film also featured songs by charles earland, cal tjader, bo diddley, and billie holiday. bakshi bought the rights to use holiday's performance of the song "yesterdays" for $35. many of the animators who worked on the film were professionals that bakshi had previously worked with at terrytoons, including jim tyer, john gentilella, nick tafuri, martin taras, larry riley, and cliff augustine. according to bakshi, it took quite a long time to assemble the right staff. those who entered with a smirk, "wanting to be very dirty and draw filthy pictures", did not stay very long, and neither did those with a low tolerance for vulgarity. one cartoonist refused to draw a black crow shooting a pig policeman. two female animators quit; one because she could not bring herself to tell her children what she did for a living, the other because she refused to draw exposed breasts. in order to save money by eliminating the need for model sheets, bakshi let animator john sparey draw some of the first sequences of fritz. bakshi states that he knew that "sparey would execute them beautifully." poses from his sequences were photocopied and handed out to the rest of the crew. the film was produced almost entirely without pencil tests. according to bakshi, "we pencil tested i'd say a thousand feet [of footage], tops. ... we do a major feature without pencil tests—that's tough. the timing falls off. i can always tell an animator to draw it better, and i know if the attitude of the characters is right, but the timing you really can't see." bakshi had to judge the timing of the animation simply by flipping an animator's drawings in his hand, until he could see the completed animation on the screen. veteran warner bros. animator ted bonnicksen was incredibly dedicated to his work on the film, to the point where he completed his animation for the synagogue sequence while suffering from leukemia, and would take the scenes home at night to work on them. in may 1971, bakshi moved his studio to los angeles to hire additional animators there. some animators, including rod scribner, dick lundy, virgil walter ross, norman mccabe, and john sparey, welcomed bakshi's presence, and felt that "fritz the cat" would bring diversity to the animation industry. other animators disliked bakshi's presence, and placed an advertisement in "the hollywood reporter", stating that bakshi's "filth" was unwelcome in california. according to bakshi, "i didn't know who these guys were because i was from new york, so i threw the ad away." however, bakshi found the negative reaction to the film from his peers to be disheartening. because it was cheaper for ira turek to trace photographs to create the backgrounds, bakshi and johnnie vita walked around the streets of the lower east side, washington square park, chinatown and harlem to take moody snapshots. turek inked the outlines of these photographs onto cels with a rapidograph, the technical pen preferred by crumb, giving the film's backgrounds stylized realism that had never been portrayed in animation before. after turek completed a background drawing in ink on an animation cel, the drawing would be photocopied onto watercolor paper for vita and onto animation paper for use in matching the characters to the backgrounds. when vita finished his painting, turek's original drawing, on the cel, would be placed over the watercolor, obscuring the photocopy lines on the painting. however, not every background was taken from live-action sources. the tones of the watercolor backgrounds were influenced by the "ash can style" of painters, which includes george luks and john french sloan. the film also used bent and fisheye camera perspectives in order to replicate the way the film's hippies and hoodlums viewed the city. by the time production finished, cinemation had released melvin van peebles' "sweet sweetback's baadasssss song" to considerable success, and the distributor hoped that "fritz the cat" would be even more profitable. "fritz" received an x rating from the motion picture association of america, the first animated film to receive such rating. producer krantz stated that the film lost playdates due to the rating, and 30 american newspapers rejected display advertisements for it or refused to give it editorial publicity. the film's limited screenings led cinemation to exploit the film's content in its promotion of the film, advertising it as containing "90 minutes of violence, excitement, and sex  ... he's x-rated and animated!" according to ralph bakshi, "we almost didn't deliver the picture, because of the exploitation of it." cinemation's advertising style and the film's rating led many to believe that "fritz the cat" was a pornographic film. when it was introduced as such at a showing at the university of southern california, bakshi stated firmly, ""fritz the cat" is not pornographic." in may 1972, "variety" reported that krantz had appealed the x rating, saying "animals having sex isn't pornography." the mpaa refused to hear the appeal. the misconceptions about the film's content were eventually cleared up when it received praise from "rolling stone" and "the new york times", and the film was accepted into the 1972 cannes film festival. bakshi later stated, "now they do as much on "the simpsons" as i got an x rating for "fritz the cat"." before the film's release, american distributors attempted to cash in on the publicity garnered from the rating by rushing out dubbed versions of two other adult animated films from japan, both of which featured an x rating in their advertising material: "senya ichiya monogatari" and "kureopatora", re-titled "one thousand and one arabian nights" and "cleopatra: queen of sex". however, neither film was actually submitted to the mpaa, and it is not likely that either feature would have received an x rating. the film "down and dirty duck" was promoted with an x rating, but had not been submitted to the mpaa. the french-belgian animated film "" initially was released with an x rating in a subtitled version, but a dubbed version released in 1979 received an r rating. for the dvd release, mgm home entertainment has surrendered the x rating for an unrated video release, although the tagline "he's x-rated and animated!" is still used on the cover. also, the mpaa "this film has been rated x" screen is seen just before the mgm logo at the end of the film on the dvd. "fritz the cat" opened on april 12, 1972, in hollywood and washington, d.c. although the film only had a limited release, it went on to become a worldwide hit. against its $700,000 budget, it grossed $25 million in the united states and over $90 million worldwide, and was the most successful independent animated feature of all time. the film earned $4.7 million in theater rentals in north america. in michael barrier's 1972 article on its production, bakshi gives accounts of two screenings of the film. of the reactions to the film by audiences at a preview screening in los angeles, bakshi stated, "they forget it's animation. they treat it like a film.  ... this is the real thing, to get people to take animation seriously." bakshi was also present at a showing of the film at the museum of modern art and remembers "some guy asked me why i was against the revolution. the point is, animation was making people get up off their asses and get mad." the film also sparked negative reactions because of its content. "a lot of people got freaked out", says bakshi. "the people in charge of the power structure, the people in charge of magazines and the people going to work in the morning who loved disney and norman rockwell, thought i was a pornographer, and they made things very difficult for me. the younger people, the people who could take new ideas, were the people i was addressing. i wasn't addressing the whole world. to those people who loved it, it was a huge hit, and everyone else wanted to kill me." critical reaction was mixed, but generally positive. vincent canby of "the new york times" wrote that the film is "constantly funny  ... [there's] something to offend just about everyone." "new york" magazine film critic judith crist reviewed the film as "a gloriously funny, brilliantly pointed, and superbly executed entertainment  ... [whose] target is  ... the muddle-headed radical chicks and slicks of the sixties", and that it "should change the face of the animated cartoon forever". paul sargent clark in "the hollywood reporter" called the film "powerful and audacious", and "newsweek" called it "a harmless, mindless, pro-youth saga calculated to shake up only the box office". "the wall street journal" and "cue" both gave the film mixed reviews. thomas albright of "rolling stone" wrote an enthusiastic preview in the december 9, 1971 issue based on seeing thirty minutes of the film, declaring that it was "sure to mark the most important breakthrough in animation since "yellow submarine"". but in a review published after its release, albright recanted his earlier statement and wrote that the visuals were not enough to save the finished product from being a "qualified disaster" due to a "leaden plot" and a "juvenile" script that relied too heavily on tired gags and tasteless ethnic humor. on rotten tomatoes, the film has a score of 58%, based on 19 critic reviews, with an average rating of 5.5/10. film critic andrew osmond wrote that the epilogue hurt the film's integrity for "giving fritz cartoon powers of survival that the film had rejected until then". patricia erens found scenes with jewish stereotypes "vicious and offensive" and stated, "only the jaundiced eye of director ralph bakshi, which denigrates all of the characters, the hero included, makes one reflect on the nature of the attack." crumb first saw the film in february 1972, during a visit to los angeles with fellow underground cartoonists spain rodriguez, s. clay wilson, robert williams, and rick griffin. according to bakshi, crumb was dissatisfied with the film. among his criticisms, he said that he felt that skip hinnant was wrong for the voice of fritz, and said that bakshi should have voiced the character instead. crumb later said in an interview that he felt that the film was "really a reflection of ralph bakshi's confusion, you know. there's something real repressed about it. in a way, it's more twisted than my stuff. it's really twisted in some kind of weird, unfunny way.  ... i didn't like that sex attitude in it very much. it's like real repressed horniness; he's kind of letting it out compulsively." crumb also criticized the film's condemnation of the radical left, denouncing fritz's dialogue in the final sequences of the film, which includes a quote from the beatles song "the end", as "red-neck and fascistic" and stated, "they put words into his mouth that i never would have had him say." reportedly, crumb filed a lawsuit to have his name removed from the film's credits. san francisco copyright attorney albert l. morse said that no suit was filed, but an agreement was reached to remove crumb's name from the credits. however, crumb's name has remained in the final film since its original theatrical release. in response to his distaste for the film, crumb had "fritz the cat—superstar" published in "people's comics" later in 1972, in which a jealous girlfriend kills fritz with an icepick; he has refused to use the character again, and wrote the filmmakers a letter saying not to use his characters in their films. crumb later cited the film as "one of those experiences i sort of block out. the last time i saw it was when i was making an appearance at a german art school in the mid-1980s, and i was forced to watch it with the students. it was an excruciating ordeal, a humiliating embarrassment. i recall victor moscoso was the only one who warned me 'if you don't stop this film from being made, you are going to regret it for the rest of your life'—and he was right." in a 2008 interview, bakshi referred to crumb as a "hustler" and stated, "he goes in so many directions that he's hard to pin down. i spoke to him on the phone. we both had the same deal, five percent. they finally sent crumb the money and not me. crumb always gets what he wants, including that château of his in france.  ... i have no respect for crumb. is he a good artist? yes, if you want to do the same thing over and over. he should have been my best friend for what i did with "fritz the cat". i drew a good picture, and we both made out fine." bakshi also stated that crumb threatened to disassociate himself from any cartoonist that worked with bakshi, which would have hurt their chances at getting work published. in addition to other animated films aimed at adult audiences, the film's success led to the production of a sequel, "the nine lives of fritz the cat". although producer krantz and voice actor hinnant returned for the follow-up, bakshi did not. instead, "nine lives" was directed by animator robert taylor, who co-wrote the film with fred halliday and eric monte. "nine lives" was distributed by american international pictures, and was considered to be inferior to its predecessor. both films have been released on dvd in the united states, canada and the uk. bakshi states that he felt constricted using anthropomorphic characters in "fritz", and focused solely on non-anthropomorphic characters in "heavy traffic" and "hey good lookin'", but later used anthropomorphic characters in "coonskin". rotten tomatoes gives the film a score of 56%, the film is widely noted in its innovation for featuring content that had not been portrayed in animation before, such as sexuality and violence, and was also, as john grant writes in his book "masters of animation", "the breakthrough movie that opened brand new vistas to the commercial animator in the united states", presenting an "almost disturbingly accurate" portrayal "of a particular stratum of western society during a particular era,  ... as such it has dated very well." the film's subject matter and its satirical approach offered an alternative to the kinds of films that had previously been presented by major animation studios. michael barrier described "fritz the cat" and "heavy traffic" as "not merely provocative, but highly ambitious". barrier described the films as an effort "to push beyond what was done in the old cartoons, even while building on their strengths". as a result of these innovations, "fritz" was selected by "time out" magazine as the 42nd greatest animated film, ranked at number 51 on the online film critics society's list of the top 100 greatest animated films of all time, and was placed at number 56 on channel 4's list of the "100 greatest cartoons". footage from the film was edited into the music video for guru's 2007 song "state of clarity". animal song is not a well-defined term in scientific literature, and the use of the more broadly defined term 'vocalizations' is in more common use. song generally consists of several successive vocal sounds incorporating multiple syllables. some sources distinguish between simpler vocalizations, termed “calls”, reserving the term “song” for more complex productions. song-like productions have been identified in several groups of animals, including cetaceans (whales and dolphins), avians (birds), anurans (frogs), and humans. social transmission of song has been found in groups including birds and cetaceans. most mammalian species produce sound by passing air from the lungs across the larynx, vibrating the vocal folds. sound then enters the supralaryngeal vocal tract, which can be adjusted to produce various changes in sound output, providing refinement of vocalizations. although morphological differences between species affect sound production, neural control is thought to be more essential factor in producing the variations within human speech and song compared to those of other mammals. cetacean vocalizations are an exception to this general mechanism. toothed whales (odontocetes) pass air through a system of air sacs and muscular phonic lips, which vibrate to produce audible vocalizations, thus serving the function of vocal folds in other mammals. sound vibrations are conveyed to an organ in the head called the melon, which can be changed in shape to control and direct vocalizations. unlike in humans and other mammals, toothed whales are able to recycle air used in vocal production, allowing whales to sing without releasing air. some cetaceans, such as humpback whales, sing continuously for hours. like mammals, anurans possess a larynx and vocal folds, which are used to create vibrations in sound production. however, frogs also use structures called vocal sacs, elastic membranes in the base of the mouth which inflate during sound production. these sacs provide both amplification and fine-tuning of sounds, and also allow air to be pushed back into the lungs during vocalizations. this allows air used in sound production to be recycled, and is thought to have evolved to increase song efficiency. increased efficiency of sound production is important, as some frogs may produce calls lasting for several hours during mating seasons. the new river tree frog ("trachycephalus hadroceps"), for example, spends hours producing up to 38,000 calls in a single night, which is made possible through the efficient recycling of air by the vocal sac. when birds inhale, air is passed from the mouth, through the trachea, which forks into two bronchii connecting to the lungs. the primary vocal organ of birds is called the syrinx, which is located at the fork of the trachea, and is not present in mammals. as air passes through the respiratory tract, the syrinx and the membranes within vibrate to produce sound. birds are capable of producing continuous song during both inhalation and exhalation, and may sing continuously for several minutes. for example, the skylark ("alauda arvensis") is capable of producing non-stop song for up to one hour. some birds change their song characteristics during inhalation versus exhalation. the brewer's sparrow ("spizella breweri") alternates between rapid trilling during exhalation interspersed with lower-rate trills during short inhalations. the two halves of the syrinx connect to separate lungs, and can be controlled independently, allowing some birds to produce two separate notes simultaneously. insects such as crickets (family gryllidae) are well known for their ability to produce loud song, however the mechanism of sound production differs greatly from most other animals. many insects generate sound by mechanical rubbing of body structures, a mechanism known as stridulation. orthopteran insects, including crickets and katydids (family tettigoniidae), have been especially well-studied for sound production. these insects use scraper-like structures on one wing to sweep over file-structures on an opposing wing to create vibrations, producing a variety of trilling and chirping sounds. locusts and other grasshoppers (suborder caelifera) stridulate by rubbing hind legs against pegs on wing surfaces in an up and downward motion. cicadas (superfamily cicadoidea) produce sound at much greater volumes than orthopterans, relying on a pair of organs called tymbals on the base of the abdomen behind the wings. muscle contraction rapidly deforms the tymbal membrane, emitting several different types of sounds. insects thus produce a variety of sounds, using various mechanisms distinct from other animals. vocalizations can play a wide variety of different roles. in groups such as anurans and birds, several distinct types of notes are incorporated to form songs, which are sung in different situations and serve distinct functions. for example, many frogs may use trilling notes in mate attraction, but switch to different vocal patterns in aggressive territorial displays. in some species, a single song incorporates several note types which serve different purposes, with one type of note eliciting responses from females, and another note of the same song responsible for warning competitor males of aggression. vocalizations play an important role in the mating behaviour of many animals. in many groups (birds, frogs, crickets, whales etc.), song production is more common in males of the species, and is often used to attract females. bird song is thought to have evolved through sexual selection. female songbirds often assess potential mates using song, based on qualities such as high song output, complexity and difficulty of songs, as well as presence of local dialect. song output serves as a fitness indicator of males, since vocalizations require both energy and time to produce, and thus males capable of producing high song output for long durations may have higher fitness than less vocal males. it is thought that song complexity may serve as an indicator of male fitness by providing an indication of successful brain development despite potential early-life stressors, such as lack of food. social transmission of songs allows for development of local dialects of song, and female songbirds also typically prefer to choose mates producing local song dialects. one hypothesis for this phenomenon is that selecting local mates allows the female to choose genes specially adapted to suit local conditions. frog song also plays a prominent role in courtship. in túngara frogs ("engystomops pustulosus"), male frogs increase the complexity of their calls, adding additional note types when greater numbers of competitor males are present, which has been found to attract greater numbers of female frogs. some species change their courtship calls when females are especially nearby. in male glass frogs ("hyalinobatachium fleichmanni"), a long frequency-modulated vocalization is produced upon noticing another nearby frog, but is changed to a short chirping song when a female approaches. several species (e.g. dendrobatid frogs ("mannophryne trinitatis"), ornate frogs ("cophixalus ornatus"), splendid poison frogs ("dendrobates speciosus")), switch from long-range loud trilling sounds to short-range quieter chirps when females move closer, which is thought to allow mate attraction without alerting competitor males to female locations. although highly complex song-like production has been identified in whales, the function is still somewhat elusive. it is thought to be involved in courtship behaviour and sexual selection, and singing behaviour becomes more common during the breeding season. another major function of song output is to indicate aggression among males during breeding seasons. both anurans and birds use singing in territorial displays to confer aggressive intent. for eastern smooth frogs ("geocrinia victoriana"), for example, courtship songs involve shorter notes to attract potential mates, and are followed by longer tones to repel males. frequency of sounds produced generally negatively correlates with body size both within and among species, and allows competing males to assess body size of vocalizing neighbouring frogs. male frogs typically approach higher frequency sounds more readily than lower frequencies, likely because the frog producing the sound is assessed to be a smaller, less dangerous competitor. in territorial birds, males increase song production rate when neighbouring males encroach on their territory. in great tits ("parus major"), nightingales ("luscinia megarhynchos"), blackbirds ("turdus merula") and sparrows (family passeridae), playing song recordings slows the rate at which males establish territories in an unoccupied region, suggesting these birds rely on song output in establishing territorial boundaries. experimentally muted scott's seaside sparrow ("ammodramus maritimus") lose control of their territories to other males. thus, territorial birds often rely on song production to repel conspecific males. like the human voice, bird song typically contains sufficient individual variability to allow discrimination of individual vocal patterns by conspecifics. such discrimination is important to mate recognition of many monogamous species. seabirds, for example, often use vocalization patterns to recognize their mate upon reunion during the breeding season. in many colonial nesting birds, parent-offspring recognition is critical to allow parents to locate their own offspring upon return to nesting sites. cliff swallows ("petrochelidon pyrrhonota") have been demonstrated to preferentially respond to parental songs at a young age, providing a means of vocalization-based offspring recognition. learned vocalizations have been identified in groups including whales, elephants, seals, and primates, however the most well-established examples of learned singing is in birds. in many species, young birds learn songs from adult males of the same species, typically fathers. this was first demonstrated in chaffinches ("fringilla coelabs"). chaffinches raised in social isolation develop abnormal songs, however playing recordings of chaffinch songs allows the young birds to learn their species-specific songs. song learning generally involves a sensitive learning period in early life, during which young birds must be exposed to song from tutor animals in order to develop normal singing as adults. song learning occurs in two stages: the sensory phase and the sensorimotor phase. during the sensory phase, birds memorize the song of a tutor animal, forming a template representation of the species-specific song. the sensorimotor phase follows and may overlap with the sensory phase. during the sensorimotor phase, young birds initially produce variable, rambling versions of adult song, called subsong. as learning progresses, the subsong is replaced with a more refined version containing elements of adult song, called plastic song. finally, the song learning crystallizes into adult song. for song learning to occur properly, young birds must be able to hear and refine their vocal productions, and birds deafened before the development of subsong do not learn to produce normal adult song. the sensitive period in which birds must be exposed to song tutoring varies across species, but typically occurs within the first year of life. birds in which song learning is limited to the initial sensitive period are referred to as closed-ended learners, whereas some birds (e.g. canaries; "serinus canaria"), continue to learn new songs later in life, and are called open-ended learners. some species of birds, such as the brown-headed cowbird ("molothrus ater"), parasitize other bird species, laying their eggs in the nests of other birds such that the heterospecific bird raises the chicks. although most birds acquire song learning within the first year, brown-headed cowbirds have a delayed sensitive period, occurring approximately one year after hatching. this may be an adaptation to prevent the young birds from learning the songs from the foreign bird species. instead, the young birds have a year in which to find conspecifics, and learn their own species-specific song. birds are generally predisposed to favour learning of conspecific songs, and will typically preferentially learn the song form conspecific animals rather than heterospecifics. however, song learning is not completely restricted to within-species songs. if exposed to heterospecific birds of another species in absence of same-species birds, young birds will often adopt the song of the species to which it was exposed. although birds are capable of learning song production purely from audio recordings of birdsong, tutor-student interaction may be important in some species. for example, white-crowned sparrows ("zonotrichia leucophrys") preferentially learn the songs of song sparrows ("melospiza melodia") when exposed to recordings of white-crowned sparrows and live song sparrows. in other words, the interactive nature of a live tutor seems to trump the familiarity of the recordings from conspecifics. while vertical transmission (parent-offspring) is a common element of song learning, horizontal transmission among animals of the same generation can also occur. male humpback whales produce various songs over their lifetime, which are learned from other males in the population. males in a population conform to produce the same mating song, consisting of a highly stereotyped vocal display involved in mate attraction. the cultural transmission of these songs has been found to occur across great geographic distances over years, with one study noting song transmission across the western and central south pacific ocean populations over an 11-year period. pyotr nikolayevich nesterov ( (born , nizhny novgorod – died , żółkiew, galicia) was a russian pilot, an aircraft designer and an aerobatics pioneer. nesterov was born on 15 february 1887 in nizhny novgorod, into the family of an army officer, a cadet corps teacher. in august 1904, he left the military school in nizhny novgorod and went to mikhailov artillery academy in st petersburg, he became a second lieutenant and served in the 9th east siberian artillery brigade in vladivostok. by the laws of that time, an officer who married before the age of 28 had to contribute a so-called ‘reserve’ to the state treasury – a deposit of 5,000 rubles to provide for his family in the event of his death. the only exception was made for officers who served in the far east; as nesterov did not have the money, he took his young wife to the far east. in 1909, nesterov came into contact with aviation when he was posted to a balloon observation regiment as an observer. in 1911 he built his first glider and learned to fly it, before entering flight training at the st. petersburg aviation school at gatchina in june, graduating 11 october 1912. a short time later he also passed the examination to be a military pilot. in may 1913 he became leader of an aviation detachment in kiev, completing night flights at that time. nesterov believed an aircraft could fly a loop, a feat not previously performed. despite the doubts of his peers, nesterov proved his theory on 9 september 1913 (27 august by the calendar then used in russia) and became the first pilot to fly a loop. this was done in a nieuport iv monoplane over syretzk aerodrome near kiev, before many watchers. for this he was disciplined with ten days of close arrest, ostensibly "for risking government property". his achievement made him famous overnight and when the feat was officially done by the famous french pilot adolphe pégoud, the punishment was reversed; he was promoted to staff captain and later awarded a medal. stressing the value of these exercises for a military pilot, nesterov improved russian flight methods through extensive training, both with cross country flights and steep turns, and designed a vee tail for the nieuport he was flying although its performance proved disappointing. aircraft were still unarmed at this early stage, and nesterov became the first pilot to destroy an enemy airplane in flight. during the battle of galicia on 25 august 1914 (by the old style calendar still used in russia), after trying various methods on previous occasions unsuccessfully, he used his morane-saulnier type g (s/n 281) to ram the austrian albatros b.ii reconnaissance aircraft of observer baron friedrich von rosenthal and pilot franz malina from flik 11. eager to destroy enemy aircraft, he probably intended to hit it with a glancing blow but damaged his own aircraft as much as the enemy's and both planes crashed. as was common for the time, nesterov was not strapped in and he fell from his plane, dying of his injuries the next day. the austrian pilot and observer also died. the town of zhovkva (currently in lviv oblast, ukraine), located near the battle, was renamed nesterov in his honor in 1951. nesterov was buried in kiev, russian empire. his ramming method was used during the second world war by a number of soviet pilots with success and without loss of life. the technique became known as "taran". in his honor, the soviet union established the "nesterov cup" for the best aerobatics team. the cup was donated to the "fédération aéronautique internationale" (fai) in 1962. it is awarded to the men's world team champions of the world aerobatic championships. the outer main-belt asteroid 3071 nesterov, discovered by soviet astronomer tamara mikhailovna smirnova in 1973, is named after him. downingtown high school is a secondary school located in downingtown, pennsylvania and uwchlan township, pennsylvania. population growth in the burgeoning downingtown area school district forced the original downingtown high school to split into two campuses: downingtown high school east campus and downingtown high school west campus. while still legally considered one school, the two campuses (usually referred to simply as "east" or "west") are generally regarded as separate entities. while the west campus is located on the original high school's campus within downingtown, the east campus is actually located in lionville, the northern side of exton, pennsylvania. the mascot for downingtown east is the cougar, for downingtown west, the whippet. both schools' colors are blue and gold, a similarity that recalls that the two campuses were once one school. a healthy rivalry exists between downingtown east and west. both schools are known for athletics and have won titles in different sports. downingtown east and west campuses field the following sports: downingtown high school has many clubs, from marching band to the ski club. the student council forms many committees and community service programs throughout the year. both schools also have fbla-pbl clubs (future business leaders of america) which had nine students qualify for the national competition in 2003, seven students qualify for the national competition in 2014, and five qualify in 2015. the combined school's marching band has participated in the tournament of roses parade, the citrus bowl parade and the indy 500 parade. in 2011, the band performed in the tournament of roses parade for the second time. extracurriculars activities include: the brothers are a pair of small islands, east brother and west brother, located in the san rafael bay embayment of san pablo bay, roughly west of point san pablo in contra costa county, california. the 19th century mexican "diseño del rancho de san pablo", (diseño: a plat map typically used to indicate rancho land grant boundaries in alta california), names east brother island as "isla de pajaros" or "bird island." the brothers, along with the sisters (two exposed rocks north of the marin islands, just off point san pedro) on the opposite side of san pablo strait, were originally reserved for military purposes by order of president andrew johnson in 1867. after many a court battle, the plans were scrapped. east brother island is home to the east brother island light, a light house and a victorian house that are a present-day bed and breakfast inn. lynfield is a suburb of auckland, new zealand. it is under the local governance of auckland council. according to the 2001 census, the population numbered 8934. the main road through the centre of lynfield is 'the avenue', with many roads branching off, including halsey drive, the suburb's longest street, which curves around a large portion of the inner suburb. the local primary school is halsey drive primary school, which is situated opposite the lynfield reserve on halsey drive. the closest intermediate schools are waikowhai intermediate to the east and blockhouse bay intermediate to the north. the local high school is lynfield college further up the avenue is the local inter-denominational church, lynfield community church. the suburb of lynfield has only been closely settled since the 1950s. the important economic activity of raising poultry was developed. this farm provided table fowls and eggs for the auckland area. the original name for the farm was linfield. alfred bankhart established linfield on land gifted to him by sir logan campbell. gilletta road in lynfield was named after bankheart's wife's maiden name. two gentlemen named edwards and cooper grew strawberries on the land now owned by lynfield college. thus the symbol of the plough on their logo. eventually in the mid-1950s, the land was made available to make way for a new secondary school which is now lynfield college. waikowhai is an auckland suburb. waikowhai is under the local governance of the auckland council. according to the 2013 census, the combined districts of waikowhai east and waikowhai west had a population of 8,130. the name is maori: wai means "water" and the kowhai is a native tree with a bright yellow flower. waikowhai means kowhai by the water in maori. waikowhai has the largest block of native forest left in auckland city. the block was considered too infertile for farming and subsequently not cleared but given to the wesley mission. today the forest block hosts a valuable sample of auckland’s original fauna and flora. catholic secondary schools serving the area are marcellin college and st peter's college. southdown is an industrial suburb of auckland, new zealand. the main company in the suburb was the former southdown freezing works, part of a large industrial zone located near the north island main trunk railway line. the buildings were decommissioned during the 1980s and 1990s, releasing large areas of land to be redeveloped as office parks. for many years the abattoirs located here were discharging large amounts of untreated waste into the manukau harbour. this had a detrimental effect on the ecology of the harbour, which at the turn of the 20th century had been a popular and attractive place to swim, sail, fish and gather shell fish. for most of the middle of the 20th century it was a health hazard and its shell-fish a probable source of food poisoning. since the freezing works were fully closed in 1981, the water quality has improved greatly. the waikaraka cycleway ends at the bottom of hugo johnston drive, next to the defunct southdown power station. hugo johnston drive is the site of a historic 2.5ha asbestos cement dump used by james hardie industries from 1938 to 1983. the nearby southdown reserve (opposite the defunct southdown power station) has been closed to the public since march 1999, after workers discovered asbestos material there. point england is an auckland suburb. point england is under the local governance of the auckland council. according to the 2001 census, point england has a population of 4200. point england is well known for its extensive 25 hectare bird sanctuary, tahuna torea (gathering place of the oyster catcher), located on the large triangular sandspit which protrudes 1.5 kilometre into the tamaki estuary. following a council suggestion this area be turned into a residential marina in the 1980s, a group of activists led by ronald lockley, persuaded the council to create a wildlife reserve with extensive walk ways. many species of birds including oyster catchers, pied stilts, gulls, plovers, herons, mallard and grey ducks are found in the area. in the higher bush areas are tui, moreporks, fantails, grey warblers and silver eyes. at low tide it is possible to walk east towards the bucklands beach junior yacht club which is located 300 m on the eastern side of the tamaki river. about 20% of the spit is consolidated with native plants that are largely above high tide. the remainder is sand that is uncovered at low tide. the whole spit can be walked in hours or the board walk in 40 minutes. a good view is to be seen from the godwit lookout. nearby on the north side is a protected maori camp or whakaruruhau. the area can be accessed from vista crescent, riddell rd walkway or west tamaki road or from the tamaki estuary using a shallow draft boat. care should be taken at the east end of the spit as the water is 22 m deep and very swift at low tide. greenlane is a suburb of auckland, new zealand. it is bounded by epsom to the west, newmarket to the north, remuera to the east and one tree hill to the south. the greenlane shops are situated at the intersection of great south road and green lane west. on the northern side of green lane west are located the alexandra park raceway, the asb showgrounds and the campbell park tennis club; on the southern side is greenlane hospital, cornwall park, cornwall cricket club, and maungakiekie / one tree hill and its park. the greenlane shops developed during the 20th century, servicing the needs of the local community and visitors to the raceway, showgrounds, hospital, and parks. there was also a tramway terminal located here from 1902 until 1956. the make up of the local businesses has changed over the years; from horseracing and pharmacies, to currently a centre for the motor vehicle trades and the location of a selection of restaurants. the 1920s lido cinema still operates, one of the few stand alone suburban cinemas to do so. the area is served by state secondary schools including auckland grammar school, epsom girls grammar school and st peter's college. the suburb itself is one word (greenlane), whereas the thoroughfare is two (green lane). from the 1840s until the 1890s greenlane was noted for its rich pasture land which supported both dairy herds and grain crops. initially large country houses and farms dotted the landscape but from the 1890s onwards suburban development spread southwards from newmarket across the fields of epsom. dr john logan campbell gifted part of his one tree hill farm to the city as a public park in 1901, coinciding with a visit from the duke of cornwall, after whom the park was named. since the early 1990s there has been a considerable amount of real estate development with clutches of townhouses altering the villa streetscapes in some parts of greenlane. the broad, flat pastureland here at the intersection of green lane and manukau roads was used for sporting events from the 1850s onwards but the alexandra park raceway and asb showgrounds were only formally established around 1900. the alexandra park raceway was named after the duchess of cornwall (later queen alexandra), and specialises in trotting races. the showgrounds have been the site of many trade exhibitions and agricultural shows, especially the annual auckland royal easter show. adjacent to alexandra park was the auckland electric tram company tram depot. organised in 1902 the tram company had storage sheds and an administrative office block built here as it was halfway between auckland and onehunga. the system was torn out in 1956 but the sheds remained here until the late 1970s when they were replaced by an office park. the administrative block survives as a restaurant. greenlane hospital is a complex of several buildings dating from as early as the 1870s to the present day. one of the buildings was donated by edward costley, an auckland businessman who bequeathed money for many charitable works. the national women's hospital dates from the late 1950s and was an icon of modernity in its day. during world war ii large numbers of prefabricated buildings were constructed in the eastern part of cornwall park in readiness for wounded and sick american soldiers to be evacuated from guadalcanal. the buildings were used during the 1950s and 60s as maternity wards until the adjacent national women's hospital was fully open. the buildings were progressively reduced in number in the 1960s although some remained standing empty until the mid 1970s. now only the us flag pole and a plaque remain as a memorial to the wartime usage. greenlane falls across two parliamentary electorates: since the 2010 amalgamation of councils, greenlane also falls across two wards for electing local boards of the auckland council, and as of the 2016 local elections, the representation is as follows: polferries is the largest polish ferry operator. the polish baltic shipping company was established on 31 january 1976 as a state-owned shipping company. under the operating name "polferries", the company runs ferry routes across the baltic sea between poland and scandinavia. in 1996 polferries approved quality assurance system the international safety management code (ism). in may 1997 the company was recognised as meeting the requirements of the quality management certificate iso 9002. it became legally recognised as a corporate body in 1992. until 2001, polferries had owned two ferry terminals in poland, the ferry terminal in gdańsk and the ferry terminal in świnoujście. today, the company runs the ferry terminal in gdańsk. 2 ferries ordered in szczecin shipyard deliria: faerie tales for a new millennium is an "interactive urban fantasy setting" created by phil brucato. the title refers to an altered state of awareness in which several levels of reality can be perceived at once, to both good and ill effect. the core concept behind deliria is one of "ordinary people in an extraordinary world." inspired by classical fairy tales and urban fantasy, the setting presents a multicultural world in which magic is always present but often invisible. to "twilight people" who encounter the magical realm, the world becomes a frightening yet wonderful place. meanwhile, the immortal faeries, or "aelderfolk", regard mortal humanity with a mixture of awe and terror. the accelerating pace of human imagination reverberates through both worlds, bringing changes that many aelders fear. within the tensions of this setting, ordinary people become heroes - or villains - in their own new fairy tales. inspired by authors like charles de lint, erik davis and francesca lia block, films like edward scissorhands and practical magic, world music and ethereal wave music, and tv shows like "buffy the vampire slayer", deliria's setting emphasizes "normal people" over superheroes. as a role-playing game, it features a flexible rules system, collaborative storytelling, and a character-crafting process based on telling stories about the character. deliria has also been noted for its vivid digital art, evocative short stories, and emphasis of "courage rather than carnage." the player characters are not meant to be heroes in the classical sense. characters are not elite fighters or wizards, super-soldiers or super-criminals. normal people, who live through an (perhaps even the) adventure of their lives, are the "heroes" in a deliria campaign. "courage rather than carnage" means that the possibilities of the characters should only limited by their players' imagination, not by stats like hitpoints or class levels. deliria's game system is designed to be used at three levels of complexity, depending on the wishes of the group. "flexible" rather than "crunchy," it's versatile enough to support almost any form of roleplaying, given the powers of imagination and creativity on the player's and the guide's behalf. the core of the system is summed up as: challenge, prowess, chance, result. to resolve a "challenge", the player checks her character's "prowess". if necessary, she takes a "chance" that may add to or subtract from that prowess. success or failure is the "result", which is then described in "story elements" - that is, narrative rather than mathematical terms. "chances" are resolved through two ten-sided dice, a deck of cards, or a computer program (sold with the main rule book). the very simple rules that encourages narrative solutions of contests and reduces random challenges to a minimum. characters are described through abstract key traits as well as narrative elements. this level of complexity reflects a storytelling approach. this level is proposed for computer-assisted or live action role-playing games. slightly more detailed rules feature an in-between solution. this option uses contest solutions through dice rolling or card drawing only when it's important and, if necessary, also modifiers and counterdraws. this level is proposed for pen and paper or live action role-playing games. every significant action is resolved through a random challenge and many rules (and optional rules) can be used to handle special situations. this level is proposed for only for pen and paper games. though now out of print, the game was also bundled with a cd/rom that had sound effects and music. a pdf patch was released to clear up a few rules. mederos is a spanish-language surname. notable people with the surname include: salo (ukrainian and , hungarian: szalonna, polish: słonina, , , , , czech and slovak: slanina, carpatho-rusyn: солонина/solonyna, , , ) is a traditional, predominantly slavic food consisting of cured slabs of fatback (rarely pork belly), with or without skin. the food is commonly eaten and known under different names in countries across the region. it is usually dry salt or brine cured. the east slavic variety is sometimes treated with paprika or other seasonings, while the south slavic version is often smoked. the slavic word "salo" or "slanina" as applied to this type of food (it has other meanings as well) is often translated to english as "bacon" or "lard". unlike lard, salo is not rendered. unlike bacon, salo has little or no lean meat. it is similar to italian "lardo", the main differences being the thickness of the cut ("lardo" is often sliced very thinly) and seasoning. east slavic salo uses salt, garlic, black pepper and sometimes coriander in the curing process, while "lardo" is generally seasoned with rosemary and other herbs. for preservation, salo is salted and sometimes also smoked and aged in a dark and cold place, where it will last for a year or more. the slabs of fat are first cut into manageable pieces, typically 15×20 cm. then layers of fat slabs (skin side down) topped with one-centimetre layers of salt go into a wooden box or barrel for curing. for added flavouring and better preservation, the salo may be covered with a thick layer of paprika (usually in the more western lands; in russian salo with paprika is called "hungarian"), minced garlic, or sometimes black pepper. when salo has been aged too long or exposed to light, the fat may oxidize on the surface and become yellow and bitter-tasting. though no longer fit for culinary use, the spoiled fat can be used as a water-repellent treatment for leather boots or bait for mouse traps, or it can simply be turned into homemade soap. salo is consumed both raw and cooked. it is often fried or finely chopped with garlic as a condiment for borscht (beet soup). small pieces of salo are added to some types of sausage. thinly sliced salo on rye bread rubbed with garlic is a traditional snack to accompany vodka in russia and horilka in ukraine, where it is a particular favorite. salo is often chopped into small pieces and fried to render fat for cooking, while the remaining cracklings ( in ukrainian, in russian, in lithuanian, in polish, in romanian, in estonian, töpörtyű in hungarian), пръжки or джумерки in bulgarian are used as condiments for fried potatoes or varenyky or spread on bread as a snack. the thick pork skin that remains after the fat has been consumed is often used to make stock for soup or borscht. after boiling, the rind is often discarded. if soft enough, however, it is sometimes chopped or ground with salo, herbs, and spices and then spread on bread. the expression "chocolate-coated salo" (, "salo v shokoladi"), originating in an ethnic joke about ukrainians, has become cliché among eastern slavs, referring to an eclectic mix of tastes or desires, such as bacon ice cream. in the 2000s, odessa confectionery factory started production of candies . the chocolate candies were invented as an april fool's day joke. they are not actually "salo"; they contain a regular caramel filling with a small amount of rendered fat added as a salty flavouring. hyde park is a historic neighborhood and district within the city limits of tampa. it includes bayshore boulevard, hyde park village and soho. its zip code is 33606. hyde park includes many historic homes and bungalows. its history and proximity to downtown tampa make it a desirable residential neighborhood. because of its convenient location, developments are being built in hyde park. construction includes an expansion of hyde park village, an upscale shopping and dining destination, as well as multifamily residential developments. hyde park is adjacent to the university of tampa and downtown. roughly, the boundaries of the neighborhood are the hillsborough bay to the east, kennedy blvd to the north, bayshore boulevard to the east and south, and armenia avenue to the west. major thoroughfares within the historical district include kennedy boulevard, bayshore boulevard, lee roy selmon expressway (sr 618), howard avenue, and swann avenue. entrepreuners have started small companies using nevs to shuttle pedestrians from the area to other core districts such as downtown and ybor city, as an attempt to facilitate connection between tampa's core neighborhoods. the hyde park neighborhood was established in the 1880s when railroad financier henry b. plant built the first bridge across the hillsborough river at lafayette street (now kennedy boulevard). the first house in the neighborhood was built by james watrous in 1882 at 1307 morrison ave. growth occurred rapidly and a street car line was put in on swann ave and rome ave. this is the reason for the wideness of the two streets, while most in the neighborhood are much narrower. the area where old hyde park village is today was originally called cork ave. dakota ave., cork ave., and inman ave. all intersected near where the british pay phone stands today. the only extant part of cork ave. is called snow ave. bayshore marks the eastern boundary of the neighborhood. the street is known for its scenic, gently curving greenway and views of the water and skyline. it holds the record as the world's longest sidewalk. upscale shopping district located among several city and residential blocks. the approximate center is at the intersection of swann and rome avenues just a few blocks east of soho. high-end boutiques, restaurants and cafes are some offerings of the area. additionally, a soulcycle is expected to open in the fall of 2019. multi-faceted entertainment district in the middle of the neighborhood. many of the region's top-rated bars, nightclubs, boutiques and restaurants are in this district. it begins at howard avenue south of kennedy boulevard and terminates at bayshore. its name is derived factually since the district centers around south howard avenue. a folk hero or national hero is a type of hero – real, fictional or mythological – with their name, personality and deeds embedded in the popular consciousness of a people, mentioned frequently in folk songs, folk tales and other folklore; and with modern trope status in literature, art and films. although some folk heroes are historical public figures, many are not. the lives of folk heroes are generally fictional, their characteristics and deeds often exaggerated to mythic proportions. the folk hero often begins life as a normal person, but is transformed into someone extraordinary by significant life events, often in response to social injustice, and sometimes in response to natural disasters. one major category of folk hero is the defender of the common people against the oppression or corruption of the established power structure. members of this category of folk hero often, but not necessarily, live outside the law in some way. the arts council of wales (acw; ) is a welsh government-sponsored body, responsible for funding and developing the arts in wales. established by royal charter in 1946, as the welsh arts council (), its english name was changed to the arts council of wales when it was established by royal charter on 30 march 1994 (the welsh name remained the same), upon its merger with the three welsh regional arts associations. it became accountable to the national assembly for wales on 1 july 1999, when responsibility was transferred from the secretary of state for wales. the welsh government provides acw with money to fund the arts in wales. acw also distributes national lottery funding for the arts in wales, allocated by the department of culture, media and sport (dcms). arts council of wales is a registered charity under english law and has a board of trustees who meet six times a year, chaired by phil george, apart from the chair, council members are not paid; they are appointed by the welsh government. the arts council of wales has offices in colwyn bay, carmarthen and cardiff. nick capaldi has been its chief executive since 2008. the arts council partners with the national eisteddfod of wales to produce its annual "y lle celf" exhibition of welsh art, craft and design. the marin islands are the two small islands, named east marin and west marin, in san rafael bay, an embayment of san pablo bay in marin county, california. the marin islands are located offshore from the city of san rafael, in the northern san francisco bay area. the islands comprise the marin islands national wildlife refuge, which was established in 1992. the surrounding submerged tidelands are also included in the refuge. the islands are the property of the u.s. fish and wildlife service and require special permission to visit. the islands are named after the coast miwok man known as chief marin, after whom marin county was later named. he is thought to have hidden out there in the 1820s after escaping from mission san rafael, before being recaptured and incarcerated at the mexican san francisco presidio. the islands were donated to the federal government by the crowley family of san francisco. they had been bought by thomas crowley at auction in 1926 for $25,000 in the hope that they would become the western terminus of the richmond–san rafael bridge. instead, they became a family vacation spot for more than sixty years. west marin island, elevation above the bay waters, supports the largest heron and egret rookery in the san francisco bay area. nesting species include great egrets, snowy egrets, great blue herons, and black-crowned night herons. east marin island, a former vacation retreat, now supports a variety of introduced and native plants and provides critical nesting material and rest sites for the nearby colony. the submerged tidelands support a variety of resident and migratory water birds such as surf scoter, black oystercatcher, diving ducks, and osprey. refuge objectives are to protect migratory species, including the heron and egret nesting colony, protect and restore suitable habitat for the colony, and protect the tidal mud flats and unique island ecosystem. hillsborough is an auckland, new zealand suburb. hillsborough is under the local governance of the auckland council. according to the 2013 census, hillsborough has a population of 11,625. hillsborough is a leafy suburb of 20th-century houses. the area is serviced by two shopping areas; onehunga and three kings. the area is served by secondary schools mount roskill grammar school and marcellin college. named for james carlton hill who left land to the city for use as public domains in his 1858 will. the most interesting building in the area is pah homestead (or "the pah"). this building was constructed for james williamson by thomas mahoney on the 313 acre estate pah farm in 1877-9. of plastered brick in the italianate style it is based upon queen victoria & prince albert's house osbourne house in the isle of wight. it was allegedly the largest house ever built in new zealand and certainly one of the most expensive. following the failure of williamson's business concerns after the stock market crash of 1886 the estate was progressively broken up and sold off. various organisations established facilities on the smaller but still spacious properties that resulted from the subdivision; a franciscan friary, marcellin college for boys, roskill masonic hospital, and liston village (a residential home which includes the historic pah stable block). other parts of the property were purchased by the hillsborough bowling club, the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints who built a church on pah road, sanitarium wholefoods and holeproof enterprises who built factories on pah road and auckland city council who created seymour park. the rest of the extensive farmland was redeveloped as suburban housing although a portion to the south of herd road is still utilised for grazing land probably because it is very steep. the two storied farm managers house still stands at 1 warren avenue. the pah mansion was eventually purchased by the roman catholic church in 1913 and renamed "monte cecilia", part of the remaining land close to the house was developed as monte cecilia primary school, and the house itself was used as emergency housing for many years. the auckland city council recently purchased the property. its magnificent grounds contain a number of interesting specimen trees and is now part of a public park named monte cecilia park which will eventually include the site of monte cecilia primary school which will be relocated elsewhere in the area. the house has been renovated and is now being used to display sir james wallace's extensive collection of new zealand modern art. in mathematics, more precisely in measure theory, an atom is a measurable set which has positive measure and contains no set of smaller positive measure. a measure which has no atoms is called non-atomic or atomless. given a measurable space formula_1 and a measure formula_2 on that space, a set formula_3 in formula_4 is called an atom if and for any measurable subset formula_6 with the set formula_8 has measure zero. a measure which has no atoms is called non-atomic or diffuse. in other words, a measure is non-atomic if for any measurable set formula_11 with formula_12 there exists a measurable subset "b" of "a" such that a non-atomic measure with at least one positive value has an infinite number of distinct values, as starting with a set "a" with formula_12 one can construct a decreasing sequence of measurable sets such that this may not be true for measures having atoms; see the first example above. it turns out that non-atomic measures actually have a continuum of values. it can be proved that if μ is a non-atomic measure and "a" is a measurable set with formula_17 then for any real number "b" satisfying there exists a measurable subset "b" of "a" such that this theorem is due to wacław sierpiński. it is reminiscent of the intermediate value theorem for continuous functions. sketch of proof of sierpiński's theorem on non-atomic measures. a slightly stronger statement, which however makes the proof easier, is that if formula_20 is a non-atomic measure space and formula_21, there exists a function formula_22 that is monotone with respect to inclusion, and a right-inverse to formula_23. that is, there exists a one-parameter family of measurable sets s(t) such that for all formula_24 the proof easily follows from zorn's lemma applied to the set of all monotone partial sections to formula_2 : ordered by inclusion of graphs, formula_29 it's then standard to show that every chain in formula_30 has an upper bound in formula_30, and that any maximal element of formula_30 has domain formula_33 proving the claim. "the dummy" is episode 98 of the american television anthology series "the twilight zone" starring cliff robertson as a ventriloquist. it is not to be confused with a similar episode "caesar and me", in which jackie cooper plays a ventriloquist. ventriloquist jerry etherson (cliff robertson) is performing an act with his dummy willie in a small club in new york city. at the end of the act, willie seems to bite jerry's hand, and after he goes back to his dressing room he finds teeth marks on his finger. he begins to drink from a liquor bottle he'd hidden in a drawer. his agent, frank, comes in and is upset that jerry has resumed drinking. jerry tells frank, as he has numerous times before, that willie is alive. frank does not believe jerry and has already pushed him into getting psychiatric help. jerry is convinced that further psychiatric sessions would be redundant and that the only solution is to get rid of willie and perform with a different dummy, "goofy goggles", from now on. he quickly comes up with new material for goofy goggles and locks willie in a trunk. after the second act, jerry refuses to comply with the owner's wish that he and his dummy mingle with the audience. his agent considers this the last straw and quits, saying that jerry's behavior, in particular what he sees as his delusional belief that willie is alive, are keeping him from being a star. jerry tells frank he is leaving for kansas city to get away from willie. after leaving the theater, jerry hears willie's voice following him wherever he goes, and sees his shadow on a wall. no one else can hear willie, apparently confirming frank's belief that jerry is suffering from delusional fear. jerry runs back into the theater. he goes into the dark dressing room, opens the trunk, throws the dummy on the floor, and smashes it. but when he turns on the light, he realizes that he destroyed the goofy goggles dummy instead of willie. he can't understand how he could have been mistaken. he then sees willie sitting on the couch, talking to him and laughing at him. willie tells him that it was he, jerry, who made him alive. realizing the truth, jerry lowers his head as willie cackles crazily. the scene cuts to a man in kansas city announcing the next act, "jerry & willie". the ventriloquist is actually willie, and he is holding jerry, who has been turned into a dummy. abner biberman also directed "number twelve looks just like you". the dummy used in this episode to portray "willie" was originally created in the 1940s by puppetmaker revello petee. the same dummy was used later, in the 1964 "twilight zone" episode, "caesar and me". the actual original dummy which was used in both episodes had been housed in a private collection in connecticut since the late 1970s, but now resides in david copperfield's international museum and library of the conjuring arts in las vegas, along with the cliff robertson dummy effigy which appears at the end of this episode. both puppets were subject to a careful, preservative renovation by american artist and puppet restoration expert alan semok. carryover cooking (sometimes referred to as resting) is when food retains heat and continues to cook even after being removed from the source of heat. carryover cooking is often used as a finishing step in preparation of foods that are roasted or grilled, and must be accounted for in recipes as it can increase the internal temperature of foods by temperatures between 5 and 25 degrees fahrenheit (3–14°c). the larger and denser the object being heated, the greater the amount of temperature increase due to carryover cooking. resting, when used as a synonym for carryover cooking, also refers to the process of allowing the liquids in meats to redistribute through the food over a 5- to 20-minute period. this allows for a more flavorful and juicy finished product. because larger objects have a lower surface-area-to-volume ratio, they are more able to retain heat. this heat retention translates to a uniform temperature increase throughout the food as the heat dissipates to cooler areas. additionally, foods with a higher water content are more subject to carry over cooking as water has a higher heat capacity and will have more heat to distribute throughout the food item. life and death of an american fourtracker was the third album by john vanderslice, released in 2002. "all songs by john vanderslice unless otherwise noted" this is a list of the instant cameras sold by the polaroid corporation as well as polaroid originals models. cameras are ordered by type. these cameras took polaroid picture roll land film, which was discontinued in 1992. some of these cameras can be converted to take pack film, but others cannot. these cameras included both folding slrs and less expensive nonfolding models. they take the sx-70 film, a format with a ~3.1 x 3.1 in² (77 x 77 mm) square image area and a ~4.2 x 3.5 in² (108 x 88 mm²) total area, and a sensitivity around iso 160. they come with a built-in 6-volt zinc chloride "polapulse" battery pack, replaced with a lithium-ion pack in polaroid original remakes. the 600 film have the same dimensions as that of the sx-70. the sensitivity is higher at around iso 640. it also has a battery pack, for which polaroid has released a small radio. the spectra has an image area of 2.9 x 3.6 in² (73 x 91 mm²) and a total area of 4.05 x 4.0 in² (103 x 102 mm²). the i-type is a new format introduced by the impossible project, or polaroid originals. it is polaroid 600 with battery moved out of the film pack. these are units that expose films using a smartphone display. they are optimized for 600/i-type film packs, although sx-70 is also supported. the pittsburgh hornets were a minor-league professional men's ice hockey team based in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. contrary to popular belief, the pittsburgh hornets did not evolve from the international hockey league's pittsburgh shamrocks. the franchise started play in 1927, playing their first nine seasons as the detroit olympics. then on october 4, 1936, after winning the ihl championship, the olympics moved to pittsburgh to become the hornets. bill anderson and bill hudson were the only two players from the shamrocks to be on the hornets roster at the start of the 1936–37 season. the hornets, still a minor-league team for the nhl's detroit red wings, made their debut in the international-american hockey league in 1936–37. the league transformed into the american hockey league in 1940. the hornets disbanded after the 1955–56 season. the franchise was suspended because the archaic duquesne gardens was torn down. the hornets reappeared in the new civic arena in 1961 and, after a poor start, they became ahl contenders again, this time as a farm club for the detroit red wings. they won a division title in 1964 and won their third calder cup in 1967. following the 1967 win, the hornets permanently closed operations, as the pittsburgh penguins began play the next fall and took over the market when the nhl expanded. the team started as the detroit olympics in 1927 playing home games at the detroit olympia. the olympics played two seasons in the canadian professional hockey league (canpro) and seven seasons in the international hockey league (ihl) after the ihl split from canpro in 1929. the ihl would merge with the canadian-american hockey league (can-am) in 1936 to form the international-american hockey league. in october 1936, john harris, a pittsburgh theater chain owner, purchased the olympics and relocated the team to become the pittsburgh hornets. the hornets were led by former olympics coach don hughes. the hornets won their first two franchise games against the cleveland falcons on november 7, 1936, at the duquesne gardens. during the 1938–39 season, larry aurie replaced don hughes as the second coach in team history. that year don deacon led the iahl with 41 assists and 65 points. in 1940, the hornets won 25 and made the playoffs and advance to the calder cup finals. the hornets were originally the minor-league affiliate of the red wings who won the stanley cup in 1936. larry aurie, a member of that team, was a player-coach and led them to their first appearance in the calder cup finals in 1940 where they were swept in three games by the providence reds. at the start of the 1940–41 season, the international-american hockey league (iahl) became the american hockey league (ahl). during the early 1940s, the hornets has mediocre finishes. however, during this time frame, the team still continued to set league records. in 1942, red heron set an ahl record by scoring six goals in one game, which is a double hat trick. also in 1944, bob gracie and bob walton were the ahl's top scorers with each recording 95 points in the season. two ahl records were set on march 17, 1945: pittsburgh the cleveland barons set the mark for most goals scored in one period by netting a combined 12 goals in the third period (pittsburgh 7, cleveland 5). the total goals scored in the game – 22 – is also a one-game record. however, not all records set by the hornets were positive. during the 1943–44 season the hornets did not win one game away from the duquesne gardens. the winless record on the road was the first occurrence of such a feat in the history of the ahl. following the season larry aurie ended his stint as coach to finish with a record of 129–162–39 in 330 games, a .450 winning percentage. following aurie's departure, max kaminsky became the third coach of the hornets in 1944. a year later, the hornets became a minor-league club for the toronto maple leafs ending their affiliation with the red wings. for the 1946–47 season the hornets returned to the ahl finals for the second time in team history, losing game 7 to the mid-state hershey bears. the maple leafs' success with four stanley cup championships between 1947 and 1951 helped to solidify the position of the minor league hornets. the hornets played the maple leafs' style of hockey that involved hard, close checking that produced low scoring games. in 1948, the hornets lost only 18 games, for their best record since 1938. max kaminsky would end his coaching career in 1947 with the hornets. he had a .562 winning percentage. kaminsky won 91 games, lost 68 and tied 27 in his 186 games behind the bench. in 1948 the hornets set the team all-time best record for goals scored in one season with 301 goals. sid smith became the first and only hornets' player to score 50 goals in one season, finishing with 55 goals and 57 assists, the highest in the ahl, to earn the john b. sollenberger trophy for leading scorer. his 112-point total was also the highest in the league and the highest in hornets' history. however, in 1949 tragedy struck the team when hornets star goaltender baz bastien lost his right eye after being hit by a puck in the preseason. he would later become the coach and general manager. the next year bastien's replacement, gil mayer, went on to win the harry "hap" holmes memorial award. the hornets again made it to the calder cup finals in 1951 but lost in game 7 to the cleveland barons. despite the loss, forward bob solinger was named mvp of playoffs with ten goals and six assists. during the 1951–52 season, pittsburgh finished first overall in the ahl, finishing with 46 wins and 95 points. the hornets then finally won their first calder cup on april 20, 1952, by beating the providence reds in six games on a goal by ray hannigan during the game's second overtime at the rhode island auditorium. the ahl president, maurice podoloff, nor the calder cup trophy, were present when the hornets earned the championship. they were later presented with the cup while traveling en route to pittsburgh. it was also during the 1951–52 season that the hornets wore black and gold jerseys for the first time. the hornets would return to the calder cup finals the next year only to lose again in game 7 to the cleveland barons. however, during the 1954–55 season pittsburgh defeated the buffalo bisons in six games to capture the club's second calder cup championship. the hornets finish first overall in the regular season, the second time in team history, with 70 points. willie marshall won the mvp in the playoffs with an ahl-best 16 points (9 goals, 7 assists). the first hornets’ team ended after the 1955–56 season. on march 31, 1956, the hornets played their final game at the duquesne gardens; a 6–4 win over the barons. the hornets franchise was suspended for five years because of pittsburgh's urban renewal project, renaissance i, called for the gardens to be torn down. demolition started on august 13, 1956, to make way for the park plaza apartments and a local fixture, stouffer's restaurant. today duranti's restaurant features the only remaining evidence of the gardens, with 2, 11-feet wide sections of exposed red brick wall. the wall would have been the front wall of the gardens' visiting team's dressing room. however duranti's closed in 2008, and the bricks were removed and stored for two years. pittsburghhockey.net, an online pittsburgh hockey museum, donated bricks to the pittsburgh penguins' current arena consol energy center for a historical display. the display contains original bricks from the duquesne gardens and mellon arena. the gardens would be replaced as the home rink of the city's pro hockey team as the construction of the pittsburgh civic arena began in 1958, three miles to the west of the gardens. at that time, due to the disrepair of the arena and the franchise being suspended, the city of rochester, new york was awarded a franchise, becoming the rochester americans. in 1961 the franchise returned as a minor league team for the red wings, the hornets emerged from five years of inactivity and played their first game at the civic arena, on october 14, 1961, in front of 9,317 fans. the hornets were back but the records during the next two years gave little to cheer for. the hornets set many ahl records during the 1961–62 season: most times shut out in a season (9); most games lost in a season (58) and most games lost at home (27). the team also finished in the last place in ahl, finishing with the fewest wins in team history (10) and their lowest point total in team history (22). the next season the hornets doubled their total of wins in their second season back from returning to the ahl. however, the team established the ahl's record for the longest winless streak. the team went 0–22–1 before beating the hershey bears on march 26. following the 1962–63 season, owner john harris sold the hornets franchise to bruce norris, owner of the detroit red wings. the purpose of the sale, harris said, was to provide a better team for pittsburgh fans. norris, by having a 100% interest in the team, will make sure better players are available to the hornets, harris said in announcing the sale. things turned around dramatically during the 1963–64 season when the hornets won 40 games, which was more than the previous two seasons combined under the harris ownership. goaltender roger crozier won the dudley "red" garrett memorial award for being the ahl's rookie of the year. crozier also won the harry "hap" holmes memorial award for being the best goalkeeper in the ahl. it was the eighth time in the 23-year history of the team that a hornets' goalie won the award. on february 8, 1966, pittsburgh was granted an nhl franchise, which would become the pittsburgh penguins. to make room for the nhl, pittsburgh's ahl franchise had to be closed. however, the hornets would go out with a bang. on april 30, 1967, they finished the sweep of rochester americans in the calder cup finals after billy harris scored:26 seconds into overtime in what would be the last goal in pittsburgh hornets’ history. thirty-one years after the hornets first game, coach baz bastien and team captain ab mcdonald were presented with the calder cup. the hornets were calder cup champions one last time. on february 3, 2001, the pittsburgh penguins minor-league affiliate, the wilkes-barre/scranton penguins, played a tribute game at the mellon arena against the cincinnati mighty ducks (affiliated with the red wings, as well as the mighty ducks of anaheim at the time). the wbs pens wore hornets jerseys and a banner was raised inside the arena that celebrated the three hornets’ calder cup championships. the banner has since been removed from inside the mellon arena and arena officials aren't sure of its location. during their first season, the hornets wore wool jerseys that were likely recycled from the detroit olympics. the home jerseys worn by the hornets during their first season in pittsburgh were white with red trim. the front of the jersey featured a large circular crest with the hornets' logo and team name. their road jerseys were red with white trim around the shoulders and sleeves with the circular crest. from 1939 until 1943, the hornets home jerseys were red wool with a white script "p" and the word "hornets" sewn onto them. the hornets were a minor league team of the nhl detroit red wings and likely wore hand-me-downs jerseys from the parent club. this trend held into the 1946–47 ahl season, when the team wore red wool jerseys for home games with a simple, block number on front and back, and a simple crew neck collar. the sleeves featured a hornet wearing a steel worker's hard hat. the road versions of these sweaters were reversed; white body with red trim. the 1948 jersey took this style one step further by including seven stars on each sleeve, including a star below the hornet near the cuffs. the road versions of these sweaters were reversed: white body with red trim. in 1951, the hornets introduced a new black and gold color scheme that was familiar with the city's baseball team and football team. the color wasn't new for hockey in pittsburgh. the pittsburgh pirates wore those colors from 1925–29, before switching to black and orange in 1929–30. the home jerseys were wool. the colors scheme was black with gold trim. the jerseys featured tie-down collars and the familiar hornet in a hard hat on the sleeves. the road jerseys consisted of a gold body and black trim. in 1961, the hornets returned to the ice and were once again sporting red and white wool jerseys again. the jerseys featured tie-down collars. a full circular crest trimmed in gold replaced the familiar hornet in a hard hat on the sleeves. the captain's "c" or alternate captain's "a's" were worn on the right side of the chest. the home jerseys were red with white trim and featured the stars on the sleeves again. meanwhile, hornets' owner, john harris, wanted his team to have a unique jersey for road games. the result was a blue wool jersey trimmed in gold. the jersey lasted two seasons. however, there were problems with how the blue color translated on black-and-white televisions. home teams wore darker colors and, unfortunately, the hornets' blue jerseys looked like the dark. rare television coverage was too confusing for viewers who couldn't see any contrast between the teams on the television. during the final years of the franchise, the hornets wore the same jerseys used by their nhl affiliate, the detroit red wings, with the exception of a circular hornets crest. goals: 130 (john "peanuts" o'flaherty, 1940–50 and bob solinger, 1949–56) assists: 253 (frank mathers, 1948–56) points: 319 (john "peanuts" o'flaherty, 1940–50) pim: 442 (pete backor, 1945–54) juniperus sabina, the savin juniper or savin, is a species of juniper native to the mountains of central and southern europe and western and central asia, from spain to eastern siberia, typically growing at altitudes of 1,000-3,300 m asl. the shrub is very variable in shape, up to 1–4 m tall. the leaves are of two forms, juvenile needle-like leaves 5–10 mm long, and adult scale-leaves 1–2 mm long on slender shoots 0.8–1 mm thick. juvenile leaves are found mainly on seedlings but mature shrubs sometimes continue to bare some juvenile leaves as well as adult, particularly on shaded shoots low in the crown. it is largely dioecious with separate male and female plants, but some individual plants produce both sexes. the cones are berry-like, 5–9 mm in diameter, blue-black with a whitish waxy bloom, and contain 1-3 (rarely 4 or 5) seeds; they are mature in about 18 months. the male cones are 2–4 mm long, and shed their pollen in early spring. all parts of the plant are poisonous due to several toxic compounds including ethereal oils. this plant is the alternate (telial) host of the pear rust fungus "gymnosporangium fuscum". there are two varieties, treated by some botanists as distinct species: the hybrid between "juniperus chinensis" and "juniperus sabina", known as "juniperus × pfitzeriana" (pfitzer juniper, synonym "j. × media"), is found in the wild where the two species meet in northwestern china, and is also very common as a cultivated ornamental plant. it is a larger shrub, growing to 3–6 m tall. "juniperus sabina" is a popular ornamental shrub in gardens and parks, with numerous named cultivars selected. savin was used in abortifacient drugs in 19th century america. south road (route a2), also known as main south road (routes a13 and b23), is a major north–south conduit in adelaide and fleurieu peninsula in south australia. it is one of adelaide's most important arterial and bypass roads. the northern part of south road contributes the central component of the north–south corridor, a series of road projects under construction or planning that will eventually provide a continuous expressway between old noarlunga and gawler. south road of today was until the 1970s known by a string of names: shillabeer avenue (from what was then its northern terminus at regency road to torrens road), government road (between torrens and port roads), john street (port to grange roads), taylors road. (between grange and henley beach roads), fisher terrace (henley beach road to anzac highway), and south road from anzac highway southwards. south road carries much of the road traffic from the southern suburbs towards the adelaide city centre. this traffic completes its journey to the city centre mainly via the anzac highway. from the anzac highway, south road continues north as a western bypass of the city across many arterials, the major ones being sir donald bradman drive, port road, torrens road, regency road and grand junction road, to the junction with the port river expressway and the salisbury highway. until the port river expressway opened in 2005, the sections of south road and salisbury highway between grand junction road and port wakefield road were known as the south road extension, built in the early 1990s. to the south of anzac highway, the name changes to main south road at the intersection of ayliffes and shepherds hill roads at clovelly park, and continues through seaford (where the victor harbor road branches off) and runs parallel to the coastline of gulf st vincent until normanville where it is known as willis drive for 2 km then continues to cape jervis at its southern tip. the town of old noarlunga, south australia was bypassed in 1972, and old reynella in 1964. the southern expressway (m2) runs roughly parallel to main south road for 18 km between darlington and noarlunga and serves to reduce traffic congestion. main south road and the southern expressway have 3 different intersections along the length of the roads. south road suffers from traffic congestion due to its importance as one of adelaide's main arterial roads and bypasses. traffic has also increased in line with the growth and development of adelaide's southern suburbs. an overpass was built over cross road and the noarlunga railway line between 1982 and 1984 to reduce a major bottleneck. the state government completed the "gallipoli underpass" under anzac highway, and an overpass of the adelaide-glenelg tramway, in 2009 and 2010. the underpass model used is a diamond interchange. in november 2005, the royal automobile association (raa) released its recommendations to the south australian government in regards to the road network. south road was found to be the poorest road in the state, registering a 2/10 on the raa's scale. the recommendations given included $6 billion of funds to upgrade the roads of south australia – with $1.5–2 billion to be spent on south road alone. the raa's plan for the road included a 6 km tunnel from port road all the way to the anzac highway underpass and over/underpasses at six other major intersections and two rail crossings. on 18 august 2007, prime minister john howard announced that south road was to be included in the auslink national road network, and also pledged $1 billion in funding for the project between 2007 and 2020. in october 2009, both the premier of south australia and the prime minister released plans for the south road superway — a 3–4 km section of elevated freeway running from the port river expressway to the intersection of regency road at a cost of $800 million. the project started in 2010 and was completed in early 2014. the elevated part provides separation at grand junction road, cormack road, and the dry creek-port adelaide railway line. two further sections were identified and funded for upgrade following the 2013 australian federal election. the first of these was the darlington upgrade addressing the section from the northern end of the southern expressway to provide a free-flowing route under the intersections with flinders drive and sturt road to the ayliffes road intersection. the torrens road to river torrens lowered motorway addressed the major intersections with grange and port roads, the outer harbor railway line crossing, and several minor road intersections. both of these upgrades involved land acquisition to widen the road corridor, surface grade carriage ways on the edges, and a lowered central roadway carrying the free-flow traffic below the crossing routes. the torrens to torrens project was started in 2015, and opened to traffic in 2018. the scope of both sections was extended northwards. the initial plan for torrens to torrens did not include grade separation at torrens road which was later added. the initial plan for darlington did not include grade separation at ayliffes road or tonsley boulevard. the darlington upgrade is scheduled for completion n mid-2020. in january 2017, the outer harbor railway line level crossing was replaced in a grade separation project as part of the torrens to torrens project. in april 2017, reports emerged involving a confirmation by the state government stating that south road's upgrades used contaminated cement. the torrens river to torrens road lowered motorway opened to traffic in late september 2018. an upgrade of regency road to pym street, the gap between the elevated south road superway and the (then) almost-completed torrens to torrens project, was announced on 1 may 2018, to be jointly funded by the state and federal governments. the section includes three sets of traffic lights and several uncontrolled intersections with minor streets. a timeframe for completion was not announced at the same time, but was later announced to be expected in 2022. julie feeney is an irish singer, composer, songwriter and record producer who self-produces and self-orchestrates her own work. she makes both instrumental and electronic music, and all of her songs with full orchestrations. feeney is a three-time nominee for the meteor choice music prize for 'irish album of the year', winning in 2006 for debut album "13 songs". she has released three studio albums on her own label 'mittens': "13 songs" (2005), "pages" (2009), and "clocks" (2012). "clocks" entered at no.1 on the irish independent albums chart and no. 7 on the main irish albums charts making it her highest charting album to date. she is from galway, ireland. previously she worked as a professional choral singer and educator. feeney has performed her own show extensively in ireland, england, scotland, france, germany, italy, holland, america, brazil, mexico, canada and china including performing to a capacity audience of 1200 at ireland's national concert hall in dublin to a 10-minute standing ovation in 2010 and in 2013. in the new york times in 2012 during her 10-night run at the irish arts center in new york, jon pareles said, "a brainy, adventurous irish songwriter lives within the flamboyant theatricality of julie feeney…intricate, articulate … ms. feeney's songs don't shout. they tease, ponder, reminisce, philosophize and invent parables, and she sings them in a plush, changeable mezzo-soprano that usually holds a kindly twinkle". jon pareles also described her songs as, "…songs that set character studies and philosophical musings in elaborate musical confections, often with long, internally rhymed lines." he continued, "ms. feeney's music draws on sources across centuries. her ensemble, including strings, trumpet and sometimes a recorder, often sounds like a baroque consort, spinning contrapuntal arpeggios; it also hints at folk-pop, minimalism and the metrical gamesmanship of progressive rock. "one more tune" used syncopated handclaps reminiscent of steve reich and a trumpet line hinting at a village brass band, while a new song, "if i lose you tonight," which she sang accompanied only by a few notes from a mandolin, had the melodic purity of a traditional irish ballad. her best-known song, 'impossibly beautiful' could almost be a pop motet, with vocal harmonies from her band members". about her theatricality he commented, "…transforming her face from otherworldly composure to private mourning to nutty intensity, song by song. but the showmanship was a bonus; her songs easily stood on their own...theatrical on the shell, intricate at the core". one of feeney's performances in london in 2007 received a five star london evening standard live review and stated that she "...captivated the crowd from the moment she stepped on stage...". hot press stated that she had "mesmerising stage presence and eccentric pop genius".the huffington post in a live review in 2012 described feeney as, "a weird and wonderful irish import". the huffington post commented, "feeney presents an entrancing and startling evening of poetic imagery, well crafted stories, delicate emotions, unexpected cadences, sudden silences, coy humor and tightly-wound tunes with hit-caliber hooks, sometimes delivered with cool detachment, at other times with a riveting directness...it's high-wire performance art in a well-crafted show–blocked, lighted and rehearsed like a theater piece–that flows and eddies on shifts in tempo, mood, dynamics and instrumentation". in relation to other performers it continued, "vocally, she's been compared to sinead o'connor and björk (a fellow traveler in extreme fashion) and to musicians ranging from laurie anderson to elvis costello, from david bowie to tori amos. other iconic musical performers came to mind–leonard cohen, paolo conte, tom waits—singers and songwriters with their own original hard-to-categorize, highly original styles. i also heard echoes of french film soundtracks, pachelbel's canon, nino rota (known for his fellini and the godfather scores) philip glass and a long forgotten carousel ride." in relation to feeney's microphone technique the huffington post commented, "and her technique in using the microphone almost as a musical instrument reminded me of jazz legend betty carter". the self-produced debut album won the choice music prize for irish album of the year in 2006 and garnered glowing 4 and five stars in all major uk and irish press. a multi-instrumentalist, feeney plays eleven instruments on "13 songs", including keyboards, alto recorder, treble recorder, harmonium, accordion, violin, harmonica, melodica, xylophone and a clock. however, according to the irish times of 16 september 2005, ""the most impressive sound is julie's sustained vocal note on aching, which clocks in at a lung-bursting 28 seconds..."" and also declared, ""...julie feeney represents a new eclecticism...lyrically sage, musically taut, 13 songs is a wonderful, wistful collection...".the irish independent called it ""...a rare gem...her excellent debut album..."". "the new york times" called it "a charming, urbane and dreamy record" while "the observer" said "this album marks the blossoming of a major talent". the "evening standard" said it was "2007's first delight...a beguiling mix of the baroque...and the hypnotic avant-garde..." and "the guardian" said "...the world will listen...". the "rté guide" stated that '13 songs' is "...surely one of the greatest debut records ever made in this country...sophisticated stuff" and the tuam herald described it as "... adult contemporary ... highly sophisticated, european music ... julie's clear, high vocals paint abstract pictures of love, life and friendship from a twenty-something perspective..." the dubliner said "...this album is startling...a fascinating record", and q said "...she certainly won't be confused for anyone else..." hot press stated, "...with this debut album julie feeney announces herself as the most intriguing female voice...to come out of ireland since sinead o'connor...for sheer originality, courage and raw talent, feeney deserves to soar above and beyond even the merely excellent". the sligo weekender said, "...the most impressive aspect of feeney's musical spectrum is her voice. with little rivalry for purity, it ranges from infant-like wonder ("judas") to quite sexy and sultry (under my skin)... julie sings "i'm aching for you", just three times on the single, but each one weighs in at 20 to 28 seconds long, a phenomenal achievement for any voice...". the sunday times called '13 songs' "...a refreshingly original distillation..." '13 songs' was self-funded through a series of bank loans and was self-released. she also funded and produced her first music video before being signed for 2 years (2006–2008) to sony bmg (u.k.) (which shut in 2008) for the song 'fictitious richard' from '13 songs' and it was directed by young irish director vittoria colonna. it featured feeney's favourite car, the volkswagen beetle. her second music video was directed by maria mozchnacz for the song 'aching'. and it was the only music video funded by sony bmg. the artwork for '13 songs' was all done by feeney and characterised by her own distinctive hand-writing and hand-drawn patterns. the same artwork is used on her official website. the self-styled album-cover photo was taken by eoin wright. they did 5 shoots before feeney settled the right photo. feeney's second self-produced album, "pages" was released in ireland through mittens in june 2009, and was widely highly critically acclaimed. it entered at number 26 in the irish charts. in december 2009 it featured in the ""hot press" top 250 irish albums of all time" poll only 6 months after its irish release at number 55, making it the highest placed 2009 release on the poll. the album also featured highly on numerous other end of year polls and has been nominated for the choice music prize irish album of the year 2009. it was also listed in "101 irish records (you must hear before you die) – tony clayton-lea". feeney first composed the songs and all of the orchestral parts, and then she conducted the orchestra in the recording. the orchestra which included woodwinds, brass, strings, vibraphone and glockenspiel (among others) was recorded over 2 sessions in one day at the irish chamber orchestra studio in limerick. unusual about this album is that all of the instrumental music is played by the orchestra with no additional instruments or midi instruments. she later recorded all of the singing at home in her own studio where she produce the album which was mixed in her studio by ger mcdonnell. feeney also did a small amount of re-mixing of the vocals on the album.

"clocks" was crowd-funded by 204 funders on irish website fundit and it is currently so far the most successful music project on the website. a 2012 live performance from her 10-night run in new york city received a stellar review in the "new york times" from chief pop music critic jon pareles. feeney has been commissioned by "festival firsts", a co-producing network between galway arts festival, dublin theatre festival, "cork midsummer festival" and "kilkenny arts festival" to compose her first opera "bird" and the first developmental stage was presented at dublin theatre festival in october 2012. the second developmental stage was performed at a sold out performance in galway at galway arts festival in 2013. her instrumental compositions have been performed by crash ensemble and icebreaker, and she composed and performed in an orchestral song cycle version of her first album "13 songs" for her solo with the ulster orchestra at the waterfront hall at the waterfront hall in belfast. she scored a song cycle for the rté concert orchestra of her second album "pages" and this was broadcast live from rté radio studios on the "jk ensemble" live on rté lyric fm on 14 october 2010 as part of rté music week. she performed her own self-orchestrated songs with the rté concert orchestra from the national concert hall in may 2010 on 'mooney goes wild' broadcast live on rté radio 1 and on 'sunday miscellany' on rté radio 1 broadcast live on 13 december 2011. she has subsequently also orchestrated her third album "clocks" for the rté concert orchestra and she performed it with the orchestra at the national concert hall in dublin on august 9, 2013 including songs also from her previous two albums. she has composed electronic scores for "corp feasa" contemporary dance company, "loose canon" theatre company and for her own one-woman shows where she incorporated live singing. she composed an electronic score for "match" which was one of the short contemporary dance films for rté television as part of the "dance on the box" series on rté in 2006. she scored 10 choral arrangements of her music for a tour with 10 different choirs over 10 consecutive nights in 10 different towns in ireland in november 2012 in collaboration with "the strollers' touring network". she briefly studied composition with louis andriessen at the royal conservatory of the hague. in 2011 feeney performed in america on npr station wnyc on 'soundcheck' with her ensemble. she was interviewed on pri's 'the world' and on npr station wbur on 'here and now'. she did an interview on q104.3 with jonathan clarke and she he was interviewed on sirius xm in an hour-long interview with bob edwards on 5 october 2011 she has performed her own music and has been interviewed extensively on rté radio and television, tv3, tg4, newstalk, and bbc northern ireland as well as bbc radio 4 woman's hour. she performed a solo voice and piano interpretation of the irish lullaby "seoithin seo" on a special christmas day broadcast show "jk ensemble" on rté lyric fm hosted by the broadcaster john kelly in 2006. this performance was included on the charity album "tuesday's child" in 2007.

david built his house, cotele, on this property. the house was located at the intersection of symonds street, mount eden road and new north road, enjoying views north to the harbor and west to the waitakeres. he later moved to emily place and leased cotele to various tenants. in 1861 then again in 1863, david subdivided the land around cotele into hundreds of small building allotments and sold them off at a considerable profit. new roads appeared as the land was subdivided; david was always "warmly attached to the navy and nautical matters" which could explain his choice of road names: basque; dundonald; and exmouth – all associated with famous sea battles. david burn died in 1875, "in comfortable circumstances" thanks to selling the cotele allotments at such high prices. the early victorian house built by burns, cotele, was replaced around the year 1900 by a two storied edwardian arts & crafts house. in the 1930s one storied shops were built on the frontyard of the house. the wooden house was just visible above the shops from symonds street until it burnt down in 1995. in the 2000s the site was completely cleared of buildings. it was proposed that this was to be the entry to the new underground railway station but in 2014 it was announced that the newton station was to be dropped from the central rail link (crl). eden terrace formed its own district in 1875. mechanics bay is a reclaimed bay on the waitematā harbour in auckland city, new zealand. it is also the name of the area of the former bay that is now mainly occupied by commercial and port facilities. sometimes the bay formed between tamaki drive and the western reclamation edge of fergusson container terminal is also referred to as mechanics bay. along the harbour shore between point britomart and st stephen's point in parnell were four bays: official bay, mechanics bay, st georges bay and judges bay. some have now disappeared due to land reclamation and the quarrying of the bordering headlands. closest to point britomart was official bay, so called because many government officials lived there during the 1840s. almost contiguous with official bay was mechanics bay. it took its name from its use in housing the labour force the government had brought to construct the new capital. mechanics bay contained the mouth of the stream issuing from the springs in the auckland domain to the south. the bay had a broad, flat beach where māori had long been in the habit of beaching their waka (canoes). next to mechanics bay was st georges bay and then judges bay, so named because three of the magistrates of the early colony built their houses there. next to judges bay is st stephen's point, where a small chapel was built. as early as the 1860s this shore front began to be modified by the european settlers. in particular it was in order to get the railway tracks around to the bottom of queen street that point britomart was quarried away and official bay and mechanics bay filled in. initially the railway tracks came through the gully that lay between the auckland domain and the suburb of parnell, but later when a second route was formed further to the east through meadowbank the shoreline between mechanics bay and hobson bay was also modified. st georges bay ceased to exist and became the shunting yard for the railway station, and judges bay was separated from the harbour by a railway embankment. the major thoroughfare of mechanics bay is beach road, which once ran around the beach front of the now reclaimed mechanics bay. the former auckland railway station is located here, an impressive brick 1930s structure designed by gummer and ford. formerly located at the bottom of queen street, the station was moved to beach road to be the centrepiece for the new downtown business area of auckland. the plan was not a success. the station was decommissioned and the railway terminal returned to its original location, now named the britomart transport centre. the first aircraft connecting new zealand with the rest of the world in the 1930s were flying boats. international flights from britain by imperial airways via india, singapore and australia connected with teal for the sydney to auckland leg. flights by pan american from america via hawaii also landed at auckland. the short solent or boeing 314 flying boats landed in mechanics bay, which was the centre of international aviation for new zealand until the 1950s. even after the construction of auckland international airport at mangere in the 1960s, mechanics bay was still used by flying boats to the pacific islands, e.g. for the "coral route" to fiji. from 1962 to 1989, mechanics bay was home to first tourist air travel, then mount cook airline then sea bee air operating a fleet of grumman goose, grumman widgeon and grumman turbo goose amphibian aircraft for regular scheduled passenger and freight services to the islands of the hauraki gulf (particularly great barrier and waiheke islands) and operated charter flights to other areas such as the bay of islands, manukau & kaipara harbours and elsewhere around the country and to pacific islands. operating from what is now the marine rescue centre, they were located near compass dolphin (since destroyed in a fierce storm in the early 1990s). mechanics bay also has a heliport, which is the base for a number of sightseeing and commercial flight companies, as well as the westpac rescue helicopter. it is located next to the auckland marine rescue centre at the eastern end of the ports of auckland container terminal. in may 2013 a helicopter crashed in the water off mechanics bay, both the pilot and passenger were quickly rescued from the water unharmed by a nearby navy boat. airwork, through their operating companies helilink and inflite have operated a fleet of helicopters from here, including a fleet of eurocopter as350 'squirrels' and a robinson r44. the police air support unit is based here, flying their eurocopter as355 'squrrels'. the base also served as the head office for inflite's nationwide operations. at its eastern end where beach road turns into parnell rise is a major intersection, over which the railway is carried on a metal viaduct. the road to the north is the strand which follows the shore line of the reclaimed st georges bay. the road to the south is stanley street, which turns into grafton road as it ascends the hill towards the hospital and auckland domain. stanley street is named for mrs stanley, who lived in the area during the 1850s and ran a well known and apparently well regarded girls school. on the corner of stanley street and parnell rise is the strand hotel. this building is almost overpowered by the busy intersection and by the railway viaduct passing close to it. when the strand hotel was built in the 1840s as the swan hotel it stood directly on the quayside as a waterfront pub. just opposite it on the other corner of stanley street stood the native hostel. long before the europeans arrived, māori had beached their wakas on the broad flat beach just here and right from the founding of auckland in 1840 into the late 20th century this portion of land was reserved for their use. the 19th century hostel buildings only disappeared in the 1970s, when they were replaced by a depot for the new zealand post office. sandringham is a suburb of auckland, new zealand. it is a bustling, multi-ethnic suburb, and has a population of 10,800. sandringham village is a walk of a few blocks south along sandringham rd from the outer link bus route, and has a strong south asian influence in restaurants and small supermarkets, halal butchers and bollywood movies. nearby are gentrified mt eden, kingsland, and chinese-influenced balmoral. the village has a post office, chemists, medical and legal practices, real estate agencies and a community centre. the village architecture is art deco influenced, and most has survived, except the original village cinema. the surrounding streets are wooden villas and bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s. the volcanic cone of owairaka (mt albert) forms sandringham’s view to the west, and the roy clements treeway on meola creek leads from nearby ferguson avenue to rocket park and the mt albert community centre. sandringham was named after the country house of edward, prince of wales in norfolk, england, still used by the present royal family. the main road is sandringham road which runs more or less north-south. at the northern end, kingsland is located near the eden park stadium. sandringham village is located at the southern end of sandringham road just before it connects with mount albert road. the top new zealand football club central united play at the kiwitea street stadium in sandringham. the local secondary schools are mount albert grammar school, marist college and st peter's college. the sandringham suburb began as a small farming settlement known as cabbage tree swamp, named for the prevalence of "cordyline australis" and the area's predisposition to flooding. the first european settlers in the area were mainly engaged in dairy farming or growing produce. by 1862, there were sixteen properties along what was then cabbage tree swamp road. in 1877, cabbage tree swamp residents successfully lobbied to have the road's name changed to kingsland road. the road and suburb were renamed again as edendale in 1916, and finally as sandringham in 1929. through the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the suburb grew slowly and remained mostly farmland and scrub. there was no water supply in the district by 1900 and by 1924 the area was still without gas or electricity. flooding was a major problem in the area. eden park and gribblehurst park became lakes during heavy winter rain, as did the reserve land east of sandringham shops. after a heavy storm in 1919, locals recalled boating through the streets and floodwaters "flowing through the bay windows" of one low-lying house. substantial development only came around 1925 with the construction of the tramline, resulting in the core of what is now the sandringham shopping centre being built. rows of evenly spaced streets spread on each side of sandringham road and were lined with wooden edwardian houses. large parts of the area remained undeveloped however, and services such as telephone, electricity and gas were only provided at a minimum level. over the following decades more retail buildings were constructed. large-scale subdivision of farmland began in the 1920s, and californian bungalows began to dominate the architecture of the area. around 1927, the mayfair cinema was built, an elegant building in the neo-greek style; it was demolished in the early 1990s. the sandringham service station, still operating in 2011, was first erected by sydney waring in 1929. after the second world war, what little remained of the farmland was developed as state housing. sandringham village is a virtually intact example of an interwar suburban shopping precinct. as part of the eden electorate, sandringham became a no-licence area from 1909 until 2000, meaning that alcohol could not be sold. as a result, there are no public houses in sandringham. plans to build a tavern at 597 sandringham road were successfully opposed by residents in 2001. sandringham falls within the mt albert constituency for the national parliament. in terms of local government, sandringham comes under the albert-eden local board, of auckland council. the albert-eden local board includes the suburbs of waterview, point chevalier, sandringham, mount albert, morningside, owairaka, balmoral, kingsland, mount eden, epsom and greenlane. public transportation extended from the inner city to the surrounding areas in the late 1870s and early 1880s with horse-drawn buses being the first mode of regular public transportation in the late 1870s. at the beginning of the 20th century, trams began connecting mt. eden, balmoral, kingsland, and mt albert with the city. the trams ran for the last time in the 1950s. sandringham is home to eden rugby football club and the mt albert ramblers softball club. edendale reserve has a playing field for amateur sport. sandringham is home to the top new zealand association football club central united who compete in the lotto sport italia nrfl premier. sandringham is well served by south bound buses, and is only 7 km from the auckland cbd. the centre of all the shopping and business activities in sandringham village is along sandringham road, roughly between halesowen avenue and lambeth road. by vehicle sandringham can be accessed from the northwestern motorway (sh16) via st lukes road. susan seidelman (born december 11, 1952) is an american film director, producer and writer. she first came to notice with "smithereens" (1982), the earliest american independent feature to be screened in competition at the cannes film festival. her next feature "desperately seeking susan" (1985) co-starred madonna in her first film. "she-devil" (1989) starred meryl streep in her first starring comedic film role and roseanne barr in her first feature-film role. seidelman's subsequent films mix comedy with drama, blending genres and pop-cultural references with a focus on women protagonists, particularly outsiders. she also works in television and directed the pilot episode of "sex and the city". seidelman was raised in a suburb of philadelphia, the oldest daughter of a jewish hardware manufacturer and a teacher. she graduated from abington senior high school in 1969, and studied fashion and arts at drexel university in philadelphia. after taking a film appreciation class where she was inspired by the french new wave, particularly the films of jean-luc godard and françois truffaut, as well as ingmar bergman, she switched her focus to filmmaking. her first foray into movie-making at new york university resulted in a student academy award nomination for her satirical short film about a housewife's affair, "and you act like one too". seidelman earned an mfa from nyu's tisch school of the arts and is an adjunct professor in the school's film department, overseeing students' thesis films. seidelman made her feature-film debut with "smithereens" (1982), a bleak and darkly humorous look at new york city's downtown bohemian scene of the 1980s. it was shot on 16mm for $40,000 on location, at times "guerrilla style" on the streets and in the subways of new york. "smithereens" captured the look of the post-punk music scene and was the first american independent film to be selected for competition at the cannes film festival. with recognition from cannes, seidelman became a member of the first wave of 80s-era independent filmmakers in the american cinema. seidelman's second theatrical film "desperately seeking susan" (1985), featuring then-rising star madonna, was a major box-office and critical success, launching the careers of co-stars rosanna arquette and aidan quinn and introducing a new generation of actors and performers such as john turturro, laurie metcalf, robert joy, giancarlo esposito, and comedian steven wright. seidelman encouraged her producers to cast madonna, who was a neighbor of hers with no acting experience, believing she would lend downtown authenticity and charisma to the role. seidelman's subsequent movies of the 1980s were "making mr. right" (1987), a romantic sci-fi comedy starring ann magnuson and john malkovich, who played dual roles as both a socially awkward scientist and his lovesick android creation; "cookie" (1989), a father-daughter mafia comedy starring peter falk, dianne wiest, and emily lloyd, written by nora ephron and alice arlen; and "she-devil" (also 1989), the film version of fay weldon's bestselling novel, with meryl streep in her first comedic movie role and roseanne barr in her first feature-film role. in 1994, seidelman and screenwriter jonathan brett received an academy award nomination for a short film they co-wrote and co-produced called "the dutch master". the film was part of the series "erotic tales" produced by regina ziegler and was screened at both the cannes film festival and telluride film festival. in the same year seidelman was a member of the jury at the 44th berlin international film festival. seidelman returned to feature films with "gaudi afternoon" (2001), a gender-bending detective story set in barcelona, starring judy davis, marcia gay harden, juliette lewis and lili taylor. the screenplay by james myhre was based on the book "gaudi afternoon: a cassandra reilly mystery" by barbara wilson. her film "boynton beach club" (2005) was based on an original idea by her mother, florence seidelman, who while living in south florida had gathered true stories of senior citizens who were suddenly back in the "dating game" after the loss of a spouse. it's one of the first movies to deal with sexuality and the aging baby boomer generation and had a theatrical run and acclaim at u.s. film festivals. the ensemble cast featured studio veterans brenda vaccaro, dyan cannon, sally kellerman, joseph bologna, michael nouri and len cariou. seidelman's next film "musical chairs" (2011) opened in limited release. the story is set in the south bronx and manhattan and revolves around a couple taking part in a wheelchair ballroom dancing competition after the woman becomes disabled. the film had its premiere at lincoln center's dance on camera festival and played at the new york international latino film festival, the miami international film festival, and the havana international film festival, among others. seidelman's film "the hot flashes" (2013) is about middle-aged women living in small-town texas, all former 1980s basketball champs, reuniting to challenge the current girls' high school team to raise funds for a breast-cancer treatment center. it starred brooke shields, daryl hannah, wanda sykes, virginia madsen, camryn manheim, and eric roberts. in the 1990s and 2000s seidelman garnered success as a television director, helming the pilot of "sex and the city", which involved some casting and developing the look and feel of the show. seidelman thought the pilot script by darren star was bold, presenting then-taboo subject matter with humor, saying, "it was the first time that a tv show featured women talking about things they really talk about in private." she directed subsequent episodes during the show's first season. seidelman has two emmy nominations for the showtime film "a cooler climate", starring sally field and judy davis and written by pulitzer prize-winner marsha norman. she has also directed episodes of comedy central's cult hit "stella" and pbs's "the electric company". seidelman was inspired early on by european film directors lina wertmüller and agnès varda, whose work she studied in college during the 1970s—a time when there were very few female directors active in the american film industry. the feminist movement of the 60s and 70s, as well as the personal filmmaking style of the french new wave, and directors jean-luc godard, françois truffaut, and john cassavetes were also early influences. seidelman is a fan of billy wilder for his social observation, drama, and humor. nora ephron, with whom she collaborated on "cookie", was seen as a role model by seidelman, as a woman writer and director able to combine family life with a successful film career. among contemporaries, seidelman notes the cerebral stories of the coen brothers, mid-career woody allen, early martin scorsese, and the films of jane campion are all favorites. she has said she is drawn to directors with distinct, slightly "outsider" points of view. on her frequent blending of comedy with drama, seidelman says, "if i wasn’t a filmmaker i probably would’ve liked to be a cultural anthropologist or sociologist since i’m interested in human behavior. i like mixing comedy [with drama] because life is serious and humorous. . . . there's got to be something underneath the humor. i like using humor as a way of making observations about how we live and what makes us human." altering the formulas of traditional film genres, seidelman explores issues of identity for women of varying ages and backgrounds. seidelman spins established film genres, updating them by focusing on female protagonists, society's outsiders and gender roles. in "smithereens", set in the early 1980s, the trope of the plucky heroine trying to make it in the music world is upended by teenaged wren's goal to become famous despite having no applicable creative talents. plastering fliers of her face around the city, wren's a precursor of the "famous for being famous" personalities of the internet age. seidelman says that wren's story "is about something broader: the fragmented nature of life in the 80's. it could have taken place in other settings." "desperately seeking susan" is a screwball comedy inspired by jacques rivette's "celine and julie go boating", that explores identity-swapping among its two protagonists, roberta and susan. instead of a conventional male/female role-swap, bored suburbanite roberta trades personas with adventuresome susan, and by doing so, recognizes her inner desires, both romantic and artistic. in "cookie", a mafia story, the primary focus is on the relationships between single mother, lenore, her teenage daughter cookie, and absentee crime-boss father, dino, along with his wife, bunny, reunited when he's released from prison. in dino's absence, the women have learned to survive on their own and profane, independent cookie supplies the solution to dino's desire to go straight—resulting in a feminist family comic-drama within a gangster story. based on true stories set in an insular florida community, "boynton beach club"s romantic leads are all past retirement age. the members of a bereavement group experience classic romantic-comedy scenarios—awkward first dates, sexual insecurity, miscommunication and misunderstandings—after losing longtime partners. seidelman had not seen older baby boomers dealing with loss, grief and romance in films and set out to create modern seniors without stereotyping. further genre mixing is evident in "making mr right", which combines sci-fi with romance among an android, his maker, and a successful career woman whose job is to teach the android about emotions. "gaudi afternoon" blends the detective mystery with family drama. "the hot flashes" is an against-all-odds sports film with middle-aged underdogs going up against youthful champions. appearances and what they reveal and conceal is a recurring theme in seidelman's films, along with how women rebel against or create a place for themselves within society's expectations. roberta in "desperately seeking susan" takes on susan's mysterious and troublesome identity when she wears her clothes. devoid of her usual suburban-housewife wardrobe and suffering from amnesia, roberta embarks on an urban adventure by "trying on" the free-spirited persona of susan. susan, in search of roberta, lives in her large house for 24 hours, trashing it, but appreciating the luxury and comfort therein. "she-devil" is a revenge comedy/satire that pits homely abandoned wife ruth against beautiful wealthy romance-novelist mary. by taking revenge on her husband, ruth finds power utilizing her skills as a formerly unpaid homemaker, and obtains success by employing other women in the same predicament. mary, in contrast, saddled with ruth's children, discovers how difficult maintaining a household can be – at odds with the tropes of romance-fiction. aspects of sexual identity and parenthood are explored in "gaudi afternoon", set in barcelona, spain, where translator cassandra, middle-aged, purposefully single, with no desire for children, finds herself enmeshed in a family squabble among a pansexual group of san francisco transplants. seidelman's early studies in fashion have influenced her art direction, costumes and overall style as visual story elements in her films. fashion and reflective colors make downtown new york of the 80s a stylized east village wonderland for roberta in "desperately seeking susan". in contrast, her suburban home is presented in cool pastels and hard edges—an atmosphere where social mores and false fronts are more rigidly enforced. performing as a magician's assistant, where costume and artifice is a requirement, she hones her survival skills that lead to personal satisfaction on and off the stage. "smithereens" explored the same colorful downtown scene, but with more grit and squalor, reflecting its low-budget independent production. wren has more desire than creative skill, but like giulietta masina's character in fellini's "nights of cabiria", whom seidelman notes as an inspiration, she's a survivor and her wish for recognition within the local punk-rock scene is presented without judgment. a magic club is also a feature of "gaudí afternoon" where asexual cassandra, through her attraction to openly bisexual hamilton—an amateur magician—acknowledges her own sexual awareness. antoni gaudí's eccentric, sensual architecture is the scenic backdrop to cassandra's deeper involvement with an alternative family and their young daughter, which ultimately brings about change in her personal life. a diverse cast of dancers perform in "musical chairs", where armando and mia's relationship develops within the world of competitive wheelchair ballroom dancing—a dance form popular in europe and asia, but mostly unknown in the u.s. the dance troupe, outsiders in the world of feature-film, include a transgender woman and an iraqi veteran, highlighting dance as a form of self-expression available to everyone. laverne cox, who is transgender, has said that playing chantelle, a disabled african american transgender woman, in a feature film was a career milestone. seidelman has lived in new york city with her partner, screenwriter and producer jonathan brett since 1986. their son ozzy is a producer and video editor. wesley is a suburb of auckland new zealand, located in the south of the former auckland city area. local state secondary schools include mount albert grammar school, marist college and st peter's college. newton is a small suburb of auckland city, new zealand, under the local governance of the auckland council. it had a population of 1,641 in the 2013 census. since the construction of the central motorway junction in 1965–75, newton has been divided into two parts, and as a result, lost much of its size and coherence. the northern part is centred on karangahape road, and the southern part on newton road and upper symonds street. both karangahape and newton roads intersect with symonds street to the east. newton road joins the great north/ponsonby and karangahape road intersection to the west. at the southern end of symonds street are the symonds street shops. here upper symonds street has two major intersections with other arterial roads: newton road and khyber pass road, and mt eden road and new north road. symonds street is named after captain william cornwallis symonds (1810–41), an officer of the 96th regiment of foot of the british army. he came to new zealand in the early 1830s as agent of the waitemata and manukau land company and was instrumental in the founding of auckland and the signing of the treaty of waitangi. he was one of governor william hobson's closest and most effective officials and was one of the first six police magistrates in new zealand as well as chief magistrate of auckland and deputy surveyor of new zealand. during 1841 symonds accompanied the naturalist ernst dieffenbach in his survey of the north island. capt symonds died on 23 november 1841 in a boating accident on the manukau harbour. following his death his brother john jermyn symonds continued to live in the colony; symonds street in onehunga is named after john jermyn symonds. karangahape road takes its name from the ridge it stands on - known in pre-european times as te ara o karangahape - "the path of karangahape" - the name possibly indicates the route that was taken to visit an eminent chief (or mythical entity) called hape who lived on the shores of the manukau harbour to the south west. from about 1900 to the early 1960s k' road was auckland's busiest shopping street with a large range of clothing and shoe shops along with several department stores. during the middle of the 20th century karangahape road (and to a lesser extent the adjacent upper symonds street shops) was a destination shopping centre, especially busy on late nights due to the presence of cinemas. late nights in this area were thursday night with the adjacent queen street having friday as its late night. in the 19th century newton was the name given to a slightly different area - stretching from what is now called surrey crescent to eden terrace. references to newton can therefore describe different areas at different times in the past; the newton branch of the asb for example was built in the 1880s at the karangahape road end of ponsonby road. the 1861 newton electoral district, represented by one mp, was bounded to the north by the harbour and auckland east and west districts, to the east by parnell district, to the south by cabbage tree rd and karangahape rd and to the west by meols and scoria creeks. following the death of sir george grey in 1898 the northwestern portion was renamed grey lynn, leaving newton as the area between karangahape road and eden terrace - since the creation of the motorway in the 1960s many people do not think of karangahape road as being part of newton, reserving that name for the area around upper symonds street. the newton post office has always been on karangahape road; the first one from 1878 was on the corner of cobden street (demolished 1970). its replacement (built 1973) is located on karangahape road at the corner of east street. from the late victorian period until 2011, there was a separate post office serving newton and eden terrace, known as upper symonds street. historically, the suburb had a fairly dubious reputation. a 1920s newspaper described it as a "haunt of many of auckland's best-known crooks". this reputation was one of the reasons the ponsonby police barracks were built on ponsonby road near the intersection with karangahape and newton roads. this was the second most important police facility in auckland and was positioned there to enable a mass of police to be on hand to quell anything in freemans bay or newton gully. virtually across the road from the police barracks was the star hotel (corner of karangahape and newton roads) this was a centre of union activity and probable sedition. michael joseph savage gave some of his early speeches at the star hotel. as newton gully was viewed as the home of many criminals (dennis gunn being just one example) its combination of substandard housing, crime, and trade union activity was probably a contributing factor in its eventual destruction by city planners who used the motorway as a convenient tool to rid the city of what they considered a problem area. this was in accord with the example set by robert moses in new york city and emulated by similar town planners around the world. before the 1870s there were several brick works in newton gully including some which manufactured tiles, pipes and even 'art pottery'. these companies were progressively relocated to new lynn; many 19th-century bricks found in central auckland bear the imprint "newton". from the 1890s onwards newton was the location of many small scale industries: shirt, clothing and boot factories, upholstery, rattan furniture & basket manufacturing etc. it was also the location of several specialist metal works including brass foundries and bicycle importers & manufacturers. situated between the busy retail areas of karangahape road and symonds street (which were, and still are major routes), newton was a fairly densely populated suburb, mainly of a working class nature with many boarding houses. until the construction of the motorway system in the 1960s, the gully area was the location of several primary and intermediate level schools and about six churches. in the 1880s there was concern that the domestic water supplies for the area were being contaminated by the adjacent symonds street cemetery; the newton gully was created by a stream which drains into the western springs area to the east. the possibility of well water being contaminated by decomposing matter and embalming chemicals (arsenic in particular) was quite a worry, leading to the eventual closure of the cemetery and the opening of a new facility at waikumete in west auckland. in the 1940s an area south of newton road underwent a process of slum clearance to alleviate the perceived problems of an area of densely packed sub-standard housing. properties in basque street were purchased by the auckland city council. these were demolished and the land cleared resulting in the creation of basque park. the new park, which was completed around 1945, included a playground for children, ironically this facility came at a time when much of the housing in the area was being replaced with light industrial businesses so the park has never seen much of the use it was intended to see. as a slum (or 'decadent area' as they were termed in the 1930s by the city council) newton was seen as an area of biological and moral contamination. the routing of the motorway system through the gully in the 1960s was seen as ideal; people would relocate to new areas to live healthier lives and auckland's traffic problems would be alleviated. it wasn't foreseen that the motorways would have a devastating effect on retail trade; the symonds street shopping area was badly hit. previously the main centre for furniture shopping for the auckland region, (tylers, grace brothers, the maple, smith & brown, and jon jensen) the symonds street retail trade went into a serious decline and virtually disappeared as a retail hub; its business association collapsed in 1976 and has only recently (2012) been revived. after the motorway was cut through, newton became even less of a desirable place to live with symonds street and newton road becoming almost motorway onramps. much of the remaining housing stock in newton was utilised for light industrial use and in many cases demolished and rebuilt as factories and warehouses. since the 1990s there has been a reverse trend of rebuilding or converting industrial buildings for residential use including some large apartment block complexes. upper symonds street is the location of three large churches: st benedicts roman catholic church (the 2nd most important catholic church in auckland), the church of the holy sepulchre (2nd most important anglican church in auckland) and st david's presbyterian church. in the 20th century the upper symonds street shops were the location of several large furniture stores; grace brothers, the maple, smith & brown, and jon jensen. also located in the area were several entertainment venues; the orange coronation hall, st benedict's hall, a roller skating rink as well as the first purpose built cinema (the 1911 lyric; demolished in the 1990s) and one of auckland most famous restaurant's in the 1960s, the el matador. in the mid 1990s most of the eastern portion of the street was demolished, partially to widen the roadway. this took with it several buildings of importance including the lyric theatre of 1911, tylers, the el matador, the astor hotel and the bnz (an art deco structure with maori motifs). initially the skycity casino and sky tower were intended to occupy the resulting vacant block of land but for various reasons (including sightline issues involving the profile of mt eden) that development was relocated away from this area. the 'missing' part of the street has subsequently been rebuilt with buildings which are very poor replacements of the lost structures. local secondary schools include auckland girls grammar school, auckland grammar school, st peter's college and saint mary's college. st benedict's college (opened in 1886 in st benedict's st) closed down in 1980 and was demolished. its secondary department merged with marcellin college, royal oak. owairaka is an auckland suburb. it is under the local governance of the auckland council. according to the 2001 census, owairaka has a population of 6678. the local state secondary school is mount albert grammar school . owairaka is home to the world-famous owairaka athletic club which is based at the historic lovelock track where five world records have been set. during the 1960s the club led the world in middle and long distance running under the guidance of the legendary coach arthur lydiard (onz,obe), producing many international and national champions, most notably, murray halberg (onz, mbe) and the new zealand athlete of the century, peter snell (knzm, mbe). southwest texas junior college is a public community college with four campuses serving eleven counties in southwest texas: unincorporated uvalde county (next to uvalde and on the site of garner field), del rio (northwest portion), next to del rio international airport, unincorporated maverick county (near eagle pass), and crystal city, the seat of zavala county. westmere is a residential suburb of auckland city, new zealand. westmere is under the local governance of the auckland council. the suburb was originally a working-class area, containing some state houses; mostly private housing originating from housing development in the 1920s. it is known for its californian style bungalow architecture. it is now a highly sought-after residential location with extensive redevelopment. westmere is broadly bisected by garnet road and is bounded by coxs bay to the north and the green belt running from western springs, the auckland zoo and western springs college to the south and west. in 2016 auckland transport proposed significant changes to westmere's main roads (garnet road, old mill road, etc.) to create safer infrastructure for cyclists, with physically-separate cycle lanes, making safe daily travel between homes and schools even easier than currently. westmere primary school is located within the suburb with pasadena intermediate school well within walking/cycling distance for students in between primary and secondary. the closest state secondary school is western springs college (other options are avondale college and mount albert grammar school). santana is the third studio album by the american rock band santana. the band's second self-titled album, it is often referred to as iii or santana iii to distinguish it from the band's 1969 debut album. the album was also known as man with an outstretched hand, after its album cover image. it was the third (and until the group's 2016 reunion, the last) album by the woodstock-era lineup, and it was also considered by many to be the band's peak commercially and musically, as subsequent releases aimed towards more experimental jazz fusion and latin music. the album featured two singles that charted in the united states. "everybody's everything" peaked at no. 12 in october 1971, while "no one to depend on", an uncredited adaptation of willie bobo's boogaloo standard "spanish grease", received significant airplay on fm radio and peaked at no. 36 in march 1972. the album also marked the addition of 17-year-old guitarist neal schon (who performed notable solos on both singles) to the group. the original album was recorded at columbia studios, san francisco, and released in both stereo and quadraphonic. "santana iii" was also the last santana album to hit #1 on the charts until "supernatural" in 1999. the 2005 edition of "guinness world records" stated that was the longest gap between #1 albums ever occurring (a record which is now held by paul mccartney since his seventeenth solo studio album, "egypt station", topped the billboard 200 chart on 2018, his first since his 1982's "tug of war"). the original album was re-released in 1998 with live versions of "batuka", "jungle strut" and a previously unreleased song, "gumbo", recorded at fillmore west in 1971 which features lead guitar solos by both santana and schon. as was done with the band's debut album, released two years earlier, in 2006 sony released the "legacy edition" of the album, featuring the original album in re-mastered sound, and bonus material: the kendalls were an american country music duo, consisting of royce kendall (born royce kykendall in saint louis, missouri, september 25, 1935 – may 22, 1998) and his daughter jeannie kendall (born october 30, 1954). between the 1960s and 1990s, they released sixteen albums on various labels, including five on mercury records. between 1977 and 1985, 22 of their singles reached the top 40 on "billboard"s country singles charts, including three number one hits, "heaven's just a sin away" (also a no. 69 pop hit), "sweet desire", and "thank god for the radio"; eight additional singles reached the top ten. royce kendall and his brother floyce kendall were raised in missouri, with family roots in the arkansas ozarks. as young men, the brothers formed a duo and moved to california where they recorded and performed on regional west coast country television shows as the austin brothers. when they broke up, royce and his wife melba moved back to missouri. royce and melba kendall's daughter jeannie proved to be musically talented from an early age, and as a teenager she became her father's duet partner. in 1969, when jeannie was 15 years old, the kendalls recorded an album for stop records, from which a single was released in 1970: a cover of john denver's "leaving on a jet plane" (previously a hit for peter, paul & mary). the kendalls' version narrowly missed the top fifty on the u.s. country charts. the duo signed with dot records in 1972, and released an album and two singles, "two divided by love", (a cover version of the grass roots' pop hit) and "everything i own", a cover of bread's 1972 hit. the kendalls parted with dot before signing with the independent ovation label in 1977. their first single for the label, a cover of the kitty wells hit "making believe," made the lower regions of the charts but was largely overlooked because emmylou harris' version of "making believe" hit the u.s. country charts around the same time. it was the kendalls' second single on ovation, a "cheating" song called "heaven's just a sin away," that proved to be their breakthrough. the song topped the country charts, was a minor crossover pop hit, and won the 1978 grammy for best country vocal by a duo or group. subsequent hits included "just like real people," "it don't feel like sinnin' to me," "sweet desire," "you'd make an angel want to cheat," and a cover of dolly parton's "put it off until tomorrow." (jeannie kendall's powerful soprano has often been compared to parton's.) in 1981, after ovation records closed their doors, the duo signed with mercury records, and continued to have hits with the "teach me to cheat" and "if you're waitin' on me (you're backin' up)," which both made the country top ten. more hits followed with "movin' train" and "precious love," which made the top 20. their last number one country hit, 1984's "thank god for the radio," was also their last single to reach the top ten. their last top 20 hits came in 1984 and 1985 with "my baby's gone" and "i'll dance every dance with you." in 1986, they signed with mca records, where they scored three mid-level hits. in 1987, they signed with step one records, where they scored several minor hits. in 1989, they signed with epic records, where their last chart single, "blue, blue day" made the top 70. jeannie kendall was married to mack watkins. in the early 1990s the kendalls built a supper club in gulf shores, alabama, which featured nightly performances by them; the club closed down two years later. afterward, they began performing in branson, missouri, where the two families had built homes next door to each other. the kendalls continued to tour and perform and released several cds, until may 22, 1998, when royce kendall died from a stroke while on tour in marquette, iowa. in the years since her father's death, jeannie has pursued a solo career, recording two solo albums, including a self-titled acoustic/bluegrass cd on the rounder label that featured two songs recorded with royce and several guest artists. these guest artists included alan jackson, ricky skaggs, alison krauss, rhonda vincent, and johnny long, who had been the kendalls' backup singer on the road. the second was "all the girls i am," a much harder edged pop/country cd released in 2005 on golden. jeannie continues to tour and perform. uss "von steuben" has been the name of two ships in the united states navy. kingsland is an inner-city suburb of auckland, the largest and most populous urban area in new zealand. kingsland is under the local governance of the auckland council. it is the home of eden park, new zealand's largest stadium, which hosted the finals for the 2011 rugby world cup. kingsland has a village centre that contains a series of shops, restaurants, pubs and monthly markets. kingsland was established in the 1880s with the sale of allotments; the buildings predominantly date from the edwardian and the interwar periods. kingsland has a heritage trail that features iconic buildings and sites of interest identified by plaques, which uses smartphone technology to provide information on the local history. new north road is the main thoroughfare in kingsland, running northeast–southwest from the auckland central business district (cbd), with the suburb running along the ridge line. kingsland's main street is located on new north road next to the kingsland railway station and directly across from eden park. don croot street, which was established in the late 1960s, connects the kingsland stretch of new north road to the western springs stretch of great north road. the northwestern motorway was cut through in the 1970s, severing the cross streets that linked kingsland to surrey crescent and arch hill, leaving bond st as the sole direct connection to these suburbs. the presence of the motorway means a certain amount of noise, but for the most part kingsland remains a remarkably quiet suburb. recently there has been a certain amount of gentrification in the area resulting in several cafes and boutique shops. the local secondary schools are mount albert grammar school, marist college and st peter's college. the origins of kingsland are linked to the european settlement of auckland. in 1835, thomas mitchell, a sydney trader, purchased land from āpihai te kawau, rangatira (chief) of the local māori tribe, ngati whatua, for £160, in a transaction which the lands claim commission later disallowed. in 1841, te kawau gifted to the colonial government and auckland began to take shape as a city. land continued to be bought and sold, and in 1852 john mcelwain purchased for the purpose of farming and received the adjoining from his brother george in what is present-day kingsland. cabbage tree swamp road was one of the original streets in the area, but the settlers of mt albert, morningside and kingsland appealed for a change of name, and it became kingsland road. auckland experienced significant growth in population between 1874 and 1886, putting pressure on the areas closest to the city. that population growth combined with the establishment of rail and bus connections into the city by the early 1880s created excellent conditions for john mcelwain to subdivide his farm. in 1882, 227 allotments were laid out. kingsland avenue — along with first, second, third and fourth avenues — provided road access to the properties. prices for sections in the subdivision ranged from £28 to £100. by 1903 trams serviced the area, and kingsland was a well-established residential suburb. public transportation extended from the inner city to the surrounding areas in the late 1870s and early 1880s with horse-drawn buses being the first mode of regular public transportation in the late 1870s. in 1881, the long-awaited railway came, connecting newmarket with helensville with stops in mt eden, kingsland, morningside and mt albert. at the beginning of the 20th century, trams began connecting mt eden, balmoral, kingsland and mt albert with the city. the trams ran for the last time in the 1950s. kingsland falls within the mt albert general constituency and the tāmaki makaurau māori constituency for the national parliament. in terms of local government, kingsland comes under the albert-eden local board of auckland council. the albert–eden local board includes the suburbs of waterview, point chevalier, sandringham, mount albert, morningside, owairaka, balmoral, kingsland, mount eden, epsom and greenlane. eden park is new zealand's largest stadium with a capacity of 50,000 seats. every year it hosts almost half a million local and international sports fans and patrons who attend matches and functions at the park. the park underwent a $240 million, three-year redevelopment prior to the 2011 rugby world cup. including a temporary expansion to 60,000 seats and the addition of four giant māori carvings at each of the four main public entrances. the carvings represent tāne-mahuta, the spirit of the forest; rongo, the god of peace; tūmatauenga, the god of war; and tāwhirimātea, the god of wind. the carvings were designed by ngāti whātua carver, arekatera maihi. eden park was located at the low point of cabbage tree swamp, with the road running on a causeway across it. eden park has been used as a sports ground since 1900, and by 1914 the ground was drained and turned into two ovals for cricket. eden park has been the home of auckland cricket since 1910 and auckland rugby since 1925. its 100-year history boasts some of new zealand's proudest sporting moments, including the 1950 empire games, the inaugural 1987 rugby world cup, and the 1992 cricket world cup. since the early 1900s it has hosted major rugby and cricket matches, and is now a regular host of the bledisloe cup, itm cup, and the super rugby games. most recently, eden park hosted the finals for the 2011 rugby world cup and it has been named the co-host for 2015 cricket world cup. the underground rivers that run through the area are known by the māori as ngā ana wai, which translates to ‘the watery caves.’ these ancient lava caverns were created 30,000 years ago during the eruption of mount albert and maungawhau / mount eden. water springs up at various locations including eden park grounds, which previously was swamp land. many of kingsland's older buildings have survived by adapting to contemporary uses. herbs — a pacific reggae band that formed in 1979 and produced a stream of reggae hits and 10 top-20 hits in the early 1990s. herbs call ponsonby their home, but their base of operations was set in kingsland. john mcelwain — kingsland's first land developer, was born in county louth, ireland in 1821 and died in auckland at the age of 95 in 1916. impatient to see the hill-climb to his property reduced in grade, he subdivided in 1882. later work by the highway board improved new north road by cutting down three feet from mcelwain's hill between kingsland and morningside. pat kraus — a musician and synthesizer-builder who records and performs in kingsland as kraus. kingsland is well-served by trains and buses, and is only 5 km from auckland's cbd. the train station is right in the heart of kingsland village, and trains run regularly into the city and the western suburbs beyond. the centre of the shopping and business activities in kingsland is new north road. by vehicle kingsland can be accessed from the north western motorway (sh16) by taking the st lukes off-ramp or from the cbd via bond street and great north road. arch hill is a small suburb of auckland, new zealand. arch hill is under the local governance of the auckland council. the area is called arch hill due to its "natural features". in 1730 this may have been the site of the "broken calabash [attack]": te ipu pakore. this battle between two warring maori tribes probably happened along this ridge, possibly around the arch hill area. in the 1880s this was part of an 80-acre farm which stretched from what is now great north road, down the gulley where the north western motorway cuts through, and up the other side to the morningside area. it was owned by joseph and jane young who had arrived in auckland in 1842, the farm was called 'arch hill', after the farm joseph had been raised on near strabane, county londonderry, ireland. joseph died in 1880 on his arch hill' property at the age of 78. in 1885 their son, joseph built a house called breveg villa {jane's maiden name was breveg} which is located at 47 western springs road, which is now separated from arch hill by the 1960s motorway. most of the houses on the arch hill area date from around the turn of the 20th century and many are small workers cottages or wooden villas; sections are often tiny and without off-street parking. as arch hill faces south away from the sun it is and always was a less desirable location than either neighbouring grey lynn or kingsland. some light industrial commercial premises have replaced parts of the housing stock with one & two storey commercial properties and more recently apartment complexes have been built. before the north-western motorway was cut through the bottom of the suburb, known as arch hill gully, in the 1960s and 70s, many of the streets running down from great north road linked up with those in kingsland. now the only through road is bond street, the others have become quiet cul-de-sacs. the arch hill roads board was formed after the provincial abolition of the 1870s and was an independent municipality until it was incorporated into the city of auckland in the 1910s following a referendum. the arch hill electorate was created for the 1946 elections, formed out of portions of the auckland central, auckland west, and grey lynn electorates. the arch hill hotel was a landmark on the corner of great north road and tuarangi road at what is now the surrey crescent shops. built in the 19th century it still stands on its original site although in a modified state. it closed around 1900 when the residents of the area voted to go dry in a referendum. as the old stone jug pub at western springs no longer operated this resulted in there being no pubs between the gluepot at three lamps, the star at the corner of krd & ponsonby road and the avondale hotel. the local secondary schools are western springs college, mount albert grammar school, st paul's college and st mary's college. mass suicide occult figurines is the debut album by john vanderslice, released in 2000. it is named after a line in neutral milk hotel's "song against sex". in anticipation for vanderslice's fourth album "cellar door", "cmj new music monthly"s louis miller described the album as "a perfectly disjointed pop album." the bicycle museum of america is a museum located at 7 west monroe street in new bremen, ohio, united states. the museum is one of the largest private collections of bicycles in the world. in 1997, the museum was founded by jim dicke of crown equipment corporation, the international manufacturer of electric lift trucks and a native to new bremen, who was looking for an attraction for the town. dicke was able to acquire the former schwinn collection previously located at the navy pier in chicago and from the original 100 pieces the collection has grown to over 1,000 bicycles, with about 300 display at any one time. the museum houses antique bicycles from the 19th century, balloon tire classics of the 1940s and 1950s and even the banana seat high-rise handle bar bikes of the 1960s. race and ethnicity in the united states is a complex topic because the united states of america has a racially and ethnically diverse population. at the federal level, race and ethnicity have been categorized separately. the most recent united states census officially recognized five racial categories (white american, black or african american, native american and alaska native, asian american, and native hawaiian and other pacific islander) as well as people of two or more races. the census bureau also classified respondents as "hispanic or latino" or "not hispanic or latino", identifying hispanic and latino as an "ethnicity" (not a "race"), which comprises the largest minority group in the nation. the united states supreme court unanimously held that "race" is not limited to census designations on the "race question" but extends to all ethnicities, and thus can include jewish, arab, hungarian, laotian, zulu, etc. the census also asked an "ancestry question," which covers the broader notion of ethnicity, in the 2000 census long form and the american community survey; the question will return in the 2020 census. , white americans are the racial majority. african americans are the largest racial minority, comprising an estimated 12.7% of the population. hispanic and latino americans are the largest ethnic minority, comprising an estimated 17.8% of the population. the white, non-hispanic or latino population make up 61.3% of the nation's total, with the total white population (including white hispanics and latinos) being 76.9%. white americans are the majority in every census-defined region (northeast, midwest, south, west) and in every state except hawaii, but contribute the highest proportion of the population in the midwestern united states, at 85% per the population estimates program (pep) or 83% per the american community survey (acs). non-hispanic whites make up 79% of the midwest's population, the highest ratio of any region. however, 35% of white americans (whether all white americans or non-hispanic/latino only) live in the south, the most of any region. currently, 55% of the african american population lives in the south. a plurality or majority of the other official groups reside in the west. the latter region is home to 42% of hispanic and latino americans, 46% of asian americans, 48% of american indians and alaska natives, 68% of native hawaiians and other pacific islanders, 37% of the "two or more races" population (multiracial americans), and 46% of those self-designated as "some other race". the five inhabited u.s. territories are ethnically diverse—american samoa has a high percentage of pacific islanders, guam and the northern mariana islands are mostly asian and pacific islander, puerto rico is mostly hispanic/latino, and the u.s. virgin islands is mostly african-american. the first united states census in 1790 classed residents as "free white" people (divided by age and sex), "all other free persons" (reported by sex and color), and "slaves". the 2000 census officially recognized six racial categories including people of two or more races; a category called "some other race" was also used in the census and other surveys, but is not official. in the 2000 census and subsequent census bureau surveys, americans self-described as belonging to these racial groups: each person has two identifying attributes, racial identity and whether or not they are of hispanic ethnicity. these categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. they have been changed from one census to another, and the racial categories include both "racial" and national-origin groups. in 2007, the equal employment opportunity commission of the us department of labor finalized the update of its eeo-1 report format and guidelines concerning the definitions of racial/ethnic categories. the question on hispanic or latino origin is separate from the question on race. hispanic and latino americans have ethnic origins in the countries of latin america and the iberian peninsula. latin american countries are, like the united states, racially diverse. consequently, no separate racial category exists for hispanic and latino americans, as they do not constitute a race, nor a national group. when responding to the race question on the census form, each person is asked to choose from among the same racial categories as all americans, and are included in the numbers reported for those races. each racial category may contain non-hispanic or latino and hispanic or latino americans. for example: the white or european-american race category contains non-hispanic whites and hispanic whites (see white hispanic and latino americans); the black or african-american category contains non-hispanic blacks and hispanic blacks (see black hispanic and latino americans); the asian-american category contains non-hispanic asians and hispanic asians (see asian hispanic and latino americans); and likewise for all the other categories. see the section on hispanic and latino americans in this article. self-identifying as both hispanic or latino "and" not hispanic or latino is neither explicitly allowed nor explicitly prohibited. in the united states since its early history, native americans, africans and europeans were considered to belong to different races. for nearly three centuries, the criteria for membership in these groups were similar, comprising a person's appearance, their social circle (how they lived), and their . history played a part, as persons with known slave ancestors were assumed to be african (or, in later usage, black), regardless of whether they also had european ancestry. the differences between how native american and black identities are defined today (blood quantum versus one-drop and political assumptions) have been based on different historical circumstances. according to the anthropologist gerald sider, such racial designations were a means to concentrate power, wealth, privilege and land in the hands of whites in a society of white hegemony and privilege (sider 1996; see also fields 1990). the differences had little to do with biology and more to do with the history of slavery and its racism, and specific forms of white supremacy (the social, geopolitical and economic agendas of dominant whites "vis-à-vis" subordinate blacks and native americans). they related especially to the different social places which blacks and amerindians occupied in white-dominated 19th-century america. sider suggests that the blood quantum definition of native american identity enabled mixed-race whites to acquire amerindian lands during the allotment process. the one-drop rule of black identity, enforced legally in the early 20th century, enabled whites to preserve their agricultural labor force in the south. the contrast emerged because, as peoples transported far from their land and kinship ties on another continent, they became reduced to valuable commodities as agricultural laborers. in contrast, amerindian labor was more difficult to control; moreover, amerindians occupied large territories that became valuable as agricultural lands, especially with the invention of new technologies such as railroads. sider thinks the blood quantum definition enhanced white acquisition of amerindian lands in a doctrine of manifest destiny, which subjected native americans to marginalization and resulted in numerous conflicts related to american expansionism. the political economy of race had different consequences for the descendants of aboriginal americans and african slaves. the 19th-century blood quantum rule meant that it was relatively easier for a person of mixed euro-amerindian ancestry to be accepted as white. the offspring of a few generations of intermarriage between amerindians and whites likely would not have been considered amerindian (at least not in a legal sense). amerindians could have treaty rights to land, but because an individual with only one amerindian great-grandparent no longer was classified as amerindian, he lost a legal claim to amerindian land, under the allotment rules of the day. according to sider's theory, whites were more easily able to acquire amerindian lands. on the other hand, the same individual who could be denied legal standing in a tribe, according to the government, because he was "too white" to claim property rights, might still have enough visually identifiable amerindian ancestry to be considered socially as a "half-breed" or breed, and stigmatized by both communities. the 20th-century one-drop rule made it relatively difficult for anyone of known black ancestry to be accepted as white. the child of an african-american sharecropper and a white person was considered black by the local communities. in terms of the economics of sharecropping, such a person also would likely become a sharecropper as well, thus adding to the landholder or employer's labor force. in short, this theory suggests that in a 20th-century economy that benefited from sharecropping, it was useful to have as many blacks as possible. although some scholars of the jim crow period agree that the 20th-century notion of invisible blackness shifted the color line in the direction of paleness, and "expanded" the labor force in response to southern blacks' great migration to the north. but, others (such as the historians joel williamson, c. vann woodward, george m. fredrickson, and stetson kennedy) considered the one-drop rule a consequence of the need to define whiteness as being pure, and justifying white-on-black oppression. over the centuries when whites wielded power over both blacks and amerindians and believed in their inherent superiority over people of color, they created a social order of hypodescent, in which they assigned mixed-race children to the lower-status groups. they were often ignorant of the systems among native american tribes of social classification, including kinship and hypodescent. the omaha people, for instance, who had a patrilineal kinship system, classified all children with white fathers as "white", and excluded them as members of the clans and tribe, unless one was formally adopted by a male member. tribal members might care for mixed-race children of white fathers, but considered them outside the hereditary clan and kinship fundamental to tribal society. the hypodescent social construction related to the racial caste that was associated with african slavery and the conditions of the slave societies. it was made explicit by virginia and other colonies' laws as early as 1662. virginia incorporated the roman principle of "partus sequitur ventrem" into slave law, saying that children of slave mothers were born into their status. under english common law for subjects, children's social status was determined by the father, not the mother. but the colonists put africans outside the category of english subjects. generally, white men were in positions of power to take sexual advantage of black women slaves. but, historian paul heinegg has shown that most free african-american families listed in the censuses of 1790–1810 were, in fact, descended from unions between white women and african men in colonial virginia, from the years when working classes lived and worked closely together, and before slavery had hardened as a racial caste. in the united states, social and legal conventions developed over time by whites that classified individuals of mixed ancestry into simplified racial categories (gossett 1997), but these were always porous. the decennial censuses conducted since 1790, after slavery was well established in the united states, included classification of persons by race: white, black, mulatto, and indian (nobles 2000). but, the inclusion of mulatto was an explicit acknowledgement of mixed race. in addition, before the civil war, virginia and some other states had legal definition of "whiteness" that provided for people being classified as white if no more than 1/8 black. (for example, if not born into slavery, thomas jefferson's children by his slave sally hemings would have been classified as legally white, as they were 7/8 white by ancestry. three of the four surviving children entered white society as adults, and their descendants have identified as white.) in the late 18th and 19th centuries, people of mixed race often migrated to frontiers where societies were more open, and they might be accepted as white if satisfying obligations of citizenship. the more familiar "one-drop rule" was not adopted by virginia and other states until the 20th century, but it classified persons with any known african ancestry as black (davis 2001). passage of such laws was often urged by white supremacists and people promoting "racial purity" through eugenics, having forgotten the long history of multi-racial unions in the south that comprised the ancestry of many families. in other countries in the americas, where mixing among groups was overtly more extensive, social categories have tended to be more numerous and fluid. in some cases, people may move into or out of categories on the basis of a combination of socioeconomic status, social class, ancestry, and appearance (mörner 1967). the term "hispanic" as an ethnonym emerged in the 20th century, with the rise of migration of laborers from spanish-speaking countries of the western hemisphere to the united states. it includes people who may have been considered racially distinct (black, white, amerindian or other mixed groups) in their home countries. today, the word "latino" is often used as a synonym for "hispanic". even if such categories were earlier understood as racial categories, today they have begun to represent ethno-linguistic categories (regardless of perceived race). similarly, "anglo" is now used among many hispanics to refer to non-hispanic white americans or european americans, most of whom speak the english language but are not of primarily english descent. the united states is a racially diverse country. the growth of the hispanic population through immigration and high birth rates is noted as a partial factor for the us' population gains in the last quarter-century. the 2000 census revealed that native americans had reached their highest documented population, 4.5 million, since the us was founded in 1776. the immigrants to the new world came largely from widely separated regions of the old world. in the americas, the immigrant populations began to mix among themselves and with the indigenous inhabitants of the continents. in the united states, for example, most people who identify as african american have some european ancestors, as revealed by genetic studies. in one analysis of those genetic markers that have differing frequencies between continents, european ancestry ranged from an estimated 7% for a sample of jamaicans to ~ 23 % for a sample of african americans from new orleans, where there was historically a large class of mixed race (now called louisiana creoles) (parra "et al." 1998). in the united states since its early history, native americans, african americans, and european americans were classified as belonging to different races. for nearly three centuries, the criteria among whites for membership in these groups were similar, comprising physical appearance, assumption of non-european ancestry, and social circle. the criteria for membership in these races diverged in the late 19th century. during and after reconstruction, after the emancipation of slaves after the civil war, in the effort to restore white supremacy in the south, whites began to classify anyone with "one drop" of "black blood", or known african ancestry, to be black. such a legal definition was not put into law until the early 20th century in most southern states, but many established racial segregation of facilities during the jim crow era, after white democrats regained control of state legislatures in the south. efforts to track mixing between groups led to an earlier proliferation of historical categories (such as "mulatto" and "octaroon" among persons with partial african descent) and "blood quantum" distinctions, which became increasingly untethered from self-reported ancestry. in the 20th century, efforts to classify the increasingly mixed population of the united states into discrete categories generated many difficulties (spickard 1992). by the standards used in past censuses, many mixed-race children born in the united states were classified as of a different race than one of their biological parents. in addition, a person may change personal racial identification over time because of cultural aspects, and self-ascribed race can differ from assigned race (kressin "et al." 2003). until the 2000 census, latinos were required to identify as one race, and none was latino. partly as a result of the confusion generated by the distinction, 32.9% (u.s. census records) of latino respondents in the 2000 census ignored the specified racial categories and checked "some other race". (mays "et al." 2003 claim a figure of 42%) historical trends influencing the ethnic demographics of the united states include: in some cases, immigrants and migrants form ethnic enclaves; in others, mixture creates ethnically diverse neighborhoods. white and european americans are the majority of people living in the united states. white people are defined by the united states census bureau as those "having origins in any of the original peoples of europe, the middle east, or north africa." like all official u.s. racial categories, "white" has a "not hispanic or latino" and a "hispanic or latino" component, the latter consisting mostly of white mexican americans and white cuban americans. white americans are the majority in 49 of the 50 states, with hawaii as the exception. "non-hispanic whites" are the majority in 46 states; hawaii, new mexico, california, and texas (and the district of columbia) are the exceptions. these five jurisdictions have "minority majorities", i.e. minority groups compose the majority of the population. in addition, all five inhabited u.s. territories have "minority majorities" (in all five major u.s. territories, non-hispanic whites are a minority). the non-hispanic white percentage (63% in 2012) tends to decrease every year, and this sub-group is expected to become a plurality of the overall u.s. population after the year 2043. white americans overall (non-hispanic whites together with white hispanics) are projected to continue as the majority, at 73.1% (or 303 million out of 420 million) in 2050, from currently 77.1%. although a high proportion of the population is known to have multiple ancestries, in the 2000 census, the first with the option to choose more than one, most people still identified with one racial category. in the 2000 census, self-identified german americans made up 17.1% of the u.s. population, followed by irish americans at 12%, as reported in the 2000 u.s. census. this makes german and irish the largest and second-largest self-reported ancestry groups in the united states. both groups had high rates of immigration to the u.s. beginning in the mid-19th century, triggered by the great famine in ireland and the failed 1848 revolution in germany. however, english americans and british americans are still considered the largest ethnic group due to a serious under count following the 2000 census whereby many english and british americans self-identified under the new category entry 'american' considering themselves 'indigenous' because their families had resided in the us for so long or, if of mixed european ancestry, identified with a more recent and differentiated ethnic group. 7.2% of the population listed their ancestry as american on the 2000 census (see american ethnicity). according to the united states census bureau, the number of people in the u.s. who reported american and no other ancestry increased from 12.4 million in 1990 to 20.2 million in 2000. this change in reporting represented the largest "growth" of any ethnic group in the united states during the 1990s, but it represented how people reported themselves more than growth through birth rates, for instance, and certainly did not reflect immigration. most french americans are believed descended from colonists of catholic new france; exiled huguenots, much fewer in number and settling in the eastern english colonies in the late 1600s and early 1700s, needed to assimilate into the majority culture and have intermarried over generations. isleños of louisiana and the hispanos of the southwest have had, in part, direct spanish ancestry; most self-reported white hispanics are of mexican, puerto rican, argentine, and cuban origins, each of which are multi-ethnic nations. hispanic immigration has increased from nations of central and south america. black and african americans are citizens and residents of the united states with origins in sub-saharan africa. according to the office of management and budget, the grouping includes individuals who self-identify as african-american, as well as persons who emigrated from nations in the caribbean and sub-saharan africa who may alternatively identify as black or some other written-in race versus african-american given they were not part of the historic us slave system. in this case, grouping is thus based on the geography of the individual, and may contradict or misrepresent their self-identification, for instance not all immigrants from sub-saharan africa are "black". among these racial outliers are persons from cape verde, madagascar, various hamito-semitic populations in east africa and the sahel, and the afrikaners of southern africa including such notable figures as the inventor elon musk and actress charlize theron. african americans (also referred to as black americans or afro-americans, and formerly as american negroes) are citizens or residents of the united states who have origins in any of the black populations of africa. according to the 2009 american community survey, there were 38,093,725 black and african americans in the united states, representing 12.4% of the population. there were 37,144,530 non-hispanic blacks, which comprised 12.1% of the population. this number increased to 42 million according to the 2010 united states census, when including multiracial african americans, making up 14% of the total u.s. population. black and african americans make up the second largest group in the united states, but the third largest group after white americans and hispanic or latino americans (of any race). the majority of the population (55%) lives in the south; compared to the 2000 census, there has also been a decrease of african americans in the northeast and midwest. the u.s. state/territory with the highest percentage of african-americans is the u.s. virgin islands (76% african-american as of 2010). most african americans are the direct descendants of captives from west africa, who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present united states. as an adjective, the term is usually written "african-american". the first west africans were brought to jamestown, virginia in 1619. the english settlers treated these captives as indentured servants and released them after a number of years. this practice was gradually replaced by the system of race-based slavery used in the caribbean. all the american colonies had slavery, but it was usually the form of personal servants in the north (where 2% of the people were slaves), and field hands in plantations in the south (where 25% were slaves); by the beginning of the american revolutionary war 1/5th of the total population was enslaved. during the revolution, some would serve in the continental army or continental navy, while others would serve the british empire in lord dunmore's ethiopian regiment, and other units. by 1804, the northern states (north of the mason–dixon line) had abolished slavery. however, slavery would persist in the southern states until the end of the american civil war and the passage of the thirteenth amendment. following the end of the reconstruction era, which saw the first african american representation in congress, african americans became disenfranchised and subject to jim crow laws, legislation that would persist until the passage of the civil rights act of 1964 and voting rights act of 1965 due to the civil rights movement. according to us census bureau data, very few african immigrants self-identify as "african-american" (as "african-american" is usually referring to blacks with deeply rooted ancestry dating back to the us slave period as discussed in the previous paragraph.) on average, less than 5% of african residents self-reported as "african-american" or "afro-american" on the 2000 us census. the overwhelming majority of african immigrants (~95%) identified instead with their own respective ethnicities. self-designation as "african-american" or "afro-american" was highest among individuals from west africa (4%-9%), and lowest among individuals from cape verde, east africa and southern africa (0%-4%). nonetheless, african immigrants often develop very successful professional and business working-relationships with african-americans. in 2018, "hispanic or latino origin" was the self-identification of 59.8 million americans comprising 18.3% of the total u.s. population. it includes people who are of full or partial hispanic or latino origin. they chiefly have origins in the spanish-speaking nations of latin america. very few also come from other places, for example: 0.2% of hispanic and latino americans were born in asia. the group is heterogeneous in race and national ancestry. the census bureau defines "hispanic or latino origin" thus: the leading country-of-origin for hispanic americans is mexico (30.7 million), followed by cuba (1.6 million), as of 2008. in addition, in 2008, 4.2 million people from puerto rico (a u.s. territory) moved to the states and the district of columbia. however, as of 2010, there were 1,648,968 salvadorans in the united states, the largest of the u.s.-central american community. salvadorans are poised to become the third largest hispanic group by the next census, significantly overtaking and replacing cubans. recent estimates already put the salvadoran population as high as 2 million, as of 2013, the third largest hispanic-american group. 62.4% of hispanic and latino americans identified as white. 30.5% identified as "some other race" (other than the ones listed). according to the pep 91.9% of latinos are white, as these official estimates do not recognize "some other race". in the official estimates, black or african american hispanics are the second-largest group, with 1.9 million, or 4.0% of the whole group. the remaining hispanics are accounted as follows, first per the pep: 1.6% american indian and alaska native, 1.5% two or more races, 0.7% asian, and 0.03% native hawaiian and other pacific islander. per the acs: 3.9% two or more races, 1.9% black or african american, 1.0% american indian and alaska native, 0.4% asian, and 0.05% native hawaiian and other pacific islander. in the united states the hispanic and latino population has reached 58 million in 2016. according to pew research center the latino population has been the principal driver of united states demographic growth since 2000. mexicans make up most of the hispanic and latino population 35,758,000. there is also a growth of hispanics who are receiving a college education in 2015, 40% of hispanics age 25 and older have had a college experience. in 2000 the percentage was at a low 30%. among u.s. states, california houses the largest population percentage of latinos. in 2015, 15.2 million hispanics lived in california. the u.s. state/territory with the largest percentage of hispanics/latinos is puerto rico (99% hispanic or latino). the hispanic or latino population is young and fast-growing, due to immigration and higher birth rates. for decades it has contributed significantly to u.s. population increases, and this is expected to continue. the census bureau projects that by 2050, one-quarter of the population will be hispanic or latino. a third significant minority is the asian american population, comprising 19.4 million in 2013, or 6.0% of the u.s. population. california is home to 4.5 million asian americans, whereas 495,000 live in hawaii, where they compose the plurality, at 38.5% of the islands' people. this is their largest share of any state. historically first concentrated on hawaii and the west coast, asian americans now live across the country, living and working in large numbers in new york city, chicago, boston, houston, and other major urban centers. there are also many asians living in two pacific u.s. territories (guam and the northern mariana islands) — as of 2010, guam's population was 32.2% asian, and the population of the northern mariana islands was 49.9% asian. in 2017, hawaii's population was 38% asian (540,556 asians). their histories are diverse. as with the new immigration from central and eastern europe to the east coast from the mid-19th century on, asians started immigrating to the united states in large numbers in the 19th century. this first major wave of immigration consisted predominantly of chinese and japanese laborers, but also included korean and south asian immigrants. many immigrants also came during and after this period from the philippines, which was a us colony from 1898 to 1946. exclusion laws and policies largely prohibited and curtailed asian immigration until the 1940s. after the us changed its immigration laws during the 1940s to 1960s to make entry easier, a much larger new wave of immigration from asia began. today the largest self-identified asian american sub-groups according to census data are chinese americans, filipino americans, indian americans, vietnamese americans, korean americans, and japanese americans, among other groups. not all of asian americans' ancestors directly migrated from their country of origin to the us. for example, over 270,000 people from guyana, a south american country, reside in the us. but a predominant amount of guyanese people are indo-guyanese, or are of indian descent. indigenous peoples of the americas, particularly native americans, made up 0.8% of the population in 2008, numbering 2.4 million. an additional 2.3 million persons declared part-american indian or alaska native ancestry. the legal and official designation of who is native american has aroused controversy by demographers, tribal nations, and government officials for many decades. federally recognized tribes and state recognized tribes set their own membership requirements; tribal enrollment may require residency on a reservation, documented lineal descent from recognized records, such as the dawes rolls, and other criteria. some tribes have adopted the use of blood quantum, requiring members to have a certain percentage. the federal government requires individuals to certify documented blood quantum of ancestry for certain federal programs, such as education benefits, available to members of recognized tribes. but census takers accept any respondent's identification. genetic scientists estimated that more than 15 million other americans, including african americans and hispanic americans (specifically those of mexican heritage), may have up to one quarter of american indian ancestry. once thought to face extinction as a race or culture, native americans of numerous tribes have achieved revival of aspects of their cultures, together with asserting their sovereignty and direction of their own affairs since the mid-20th century. many have started language programs to revive use of traditional languages; some have established tribally controlled colleges and other schools on their reservations, so that education is expressive of their cultures. since the late 20th century, many tribes have developed gaming casinos on their sovereign land to raise revenues for economic development, as well as to promote the education and welfare of their people through health care and construction of improved housing. today more than 800,000 to one million persons claim cherokee descent in part or as full-bloods; of these, an estimated 300,000 live in california, 70,000—160,000 in oklahoma, and 15,000 in north carolina in ancestral homelands. the second largest tribal group is the navajo, who call themselves diné and live on a 16-million acre (65,000 km²) indian reservation covering northeast arizona, northwest new mexico, and southeast utah. it is home to half of the 450,000 navajo nation members. the third largest group are the lakota (sioux) nation, with distinct federally recognized tribes located in the states of minnesota, nebraska, montana, wyoming; and north and south dakota. native hawaiians and other pacific islanders numbered 427,810 in 2008, or 0.1% of the population. additionally, nearly as many individuals identify as having partial native hawaiian ancestry, for a total of 829,949 people of full or part native hawaiian ancestry. this group constitutes the smallest minority in the united states. more than half identify as "full-blooded", but historically most native hawaiians on the island chain of hawaii are believed to have admixture with asian and european ancestries. but, the census takes reporting by individuals as to how they identify. some demographers believe that by the year 2025, the last full-blooded native hawaiian will die off, leaving a culturally distinct, but racially mixed population. the total number of persons who have identified as native hawaiian in 2008 was more than the estimated hawaiian population when the us annexed the islands in 1898. native hawaiians are receiving ancestral land reparations. throughout hawaii, they are working to preserve and assert adaptation of native hawaiian customs and the hawaiian language. they have cultural schools solely for legally native hawaiian students. (see also, "hawaiian renaissance" and "hawaiian sovereignty movement"). there are significant pacific islander populations living in three pacific u.s. territories (american samoa, guam, and the northern mariana islands). as of 2010, american samoa's population was 92.6% pacific islander (mostly samoan), guam's population was 49.3% pacific islander (mostly chamorro), and the population of the northern mariana islands was 34.9% pacific islander. out of all u.s. states/territories, american samoa has the highest percentage of pacific islanders. according to the arab american institute (aai), countries of origin for arab americans include algeria, bahrain, comoros, djibouti, egypt, iraq, jordan, kuwait, lebanon, libya, mauritania, morocco, oman, qatar, palestine, saudi arabia, somalia, sudan, syria, tunisia, united arab emirates and yemen. there are an estimated 1.9-2.0 million middle eastern americans according to the u.s. census, including both arab and non-arab americans, comprising 0.6% of the total u.s. population; however, the arab american institute estimates a population closer to 3.6 million. u.s. census population estimates are based on responses to the ancestry question on the census, which makes it difficult to accurately count middle eastern americans. though middle eastern american communities can be found in each of the 50 states, the majority live in just 10 states with nearly "one third of the total liv[ing] in california, new york, and michigan". more middle eastern americans live in california than any other state, with ethnic groups such as arabs, jews, persians, and armenians being a large percentage, but middle eastern americans represent the highest percentage of the population of michigan. in particular, dearborn, michigan has long been home to a high concentration of middle eastern americans. the united states census bureau is presently finalizing the ethnic classification of mena populations. middle eastern americans are counted as white on the census. in 2012, prompted in part by post-9/11 discrimination, the american-arab anti-discrimination committee petitioned the department of commerce's minority business development agency to designate the mena populations as a minority/disadvantaged community. following consultations with mena organizations, the us census bureau announced in 2014 that it would establish a new mena ethnic category for populations from the middle east, north africa and the arab world, separate from the "white" classification that these populations had previously sought in 1909. the expert groups felt that the earlier "white" designation no longer accurately represents mena identity, so they successfully lobbied for a distinct categorization. this process does not currently include ethnoreligious groups such as jews, who originate from the levant, or sikhs, as the bureau only tabulates these groups as followers of religions rather than members of ethnic groups. as of december 2015, the sampling strata for the new mena category includes the census bureau's working classification of 19 mena groups, as well as turkish, sudanese, somali, mauritanian, armenian, cypriot, afghan, iranian, azerbaijani and georgian groups. self-identified multiracial americans numbered 7.0 million in 2008, or 2.3% of the population. they have identified as any combination of races (white, black or african american, asian, american indian or alaska native, native hawaiian or other pacific islander, "some other race") and ethnicities. the u.s. has a growing multiracial identity movement. while the colonies and southern states protected white fathers by making all children born to slave mothers be classified as slaves, regardless of paternity, they also banned miscegenation or interracial marriage, most notably between whites and blacks. this did little to stop interracial relationships, except as legal, consensual unions. demographers state that, due to new waves of immigration, the american people through the early 20th century were mostly multi-ethnic descendants of various immigrant nationalities, who maintained cultural distinctiveness until, over time, assimilation, migration and integration took place. the civil rights movement through the 20th century gained passage of important legislation to enforce constitutional rights of minorities. according to james p. allen and eugene turner from california state university, northridge, by some calculations in the 2000 census, the multiracial population that is part white (which is the largest percentage of the multiracial population), is as follows: a 2002 study found an average of 18.6% european genetic contribution and 2.7% native american genetic contribution (with standard errors 1.5% and 1.4% respectively) in a sample of 232 african americans. meanwhile, in a sample of 187 european americans from state college, pennsylvania, there was an average of 0.7% west african genetic contribution and 3.2% native american genetic contribution (with standard errors 0.9% and 1.6% respectively). most of the non-european admixture was concentrated in 30% of the sample, with west african admixture ranging from 2 to 20%, with an average of 2.3%. in 1958 robert stuckert produced a statistical analysis using historical census data and immigration statistics. he concluded that the growth in the white population could not be attributed solely to births in the white population and immigration from europe, but was also due to people identifying as white who were partly black. he concluded that 21 percent of white americans had some recent african-american ancestors. he also concluded that the majority of americans of known african descent were partly european and not entirely sub-saharan african. more recently, many different dna studies have shown that many african americans have european admixture, reflecting the long history in this country of the various populations. proportions of european admixture in african-american dna have been found in studies to be 17% and between 10.6% and 22.5%. another recent study found the average to be 21.2%, with a standard error of 1.2%. the race, ethnicity, and genetics working group of the national human genome research institute notes that "although genetic analyses of large numbers of loci can produce estimates of the percentage of a person's ancestors coming from various continental populations, these estimates may assume a false distinctiveness of the parental populations, since human groups have exchanged mates from local to continental scales throughout history." in the 2000 census, the non-standard category of "other" was especially intended to capture responses such as mestizo and mulatto, two large multiracial groups in most of the countries of origin of hispanic and latino americans. however, many other responses are captured by the category. in 2008 15.0 million people, nearly 5% of the total u.s. population, were estimated to be "some other race", with 95% of them being hispanic or latino. due to this category's non-standard status, statistics from government agencies other than the census bureau (for example: the centers for disease control's data on vital statistics, or the fbi's crime statistics), but also the bureau's own official population estimates, omit the "some other race" category and include most of the people in this group in the white population, thus including the vast majority (about 90%) of hispanic and latino americans in the white population. for an example of this, see the world factbook, published by the central intelligence agency. the ancestry of the people of the united states of america is widely varied and includes descendants of populations from around the world. in addition to its variation, the ancestry of people of the united states is also marked by varying amounts of intermarriage between ethnic and racial groups. while some americans can trace their ancestry back to a single ethnic group or population in europe, africa, or asia, these are often first- and second-generation americans. generally, the degree of mixed heritage increases the longer one's ancestors have lived in the united states (see melting pot). in theory, there are several means available to discover the ancestry of the people living in the united states, including genealogy, genetics, oral and written history, and analysis of federal population census schedules. in practice, only few of these have been used for a larger part of the population. according to the 2010–2015 american community survey, the twenty largest ancestry groups in the united states were (see above for the omb self-designation options): these images display frequencies of self-reported ancestries, as of the 2000 u.s. census. regional african ancestries are not listed, though an african american map has been added from another source. these images display frequencies of self-reported european american ancestries as of the 2000 u.s. census. whatever happened to the hall of fame?: baseball, cooperstown, and the politics of glory is a book by baseball sabermetrician and author bill james. originally published in 1994 as the politics of glory, the book covers the unique history of the baseball hall of fame, the evolution of its standards, and arguments for individual players in a typically jamesian, stat-driven manner. james drives home early on the heated and biased nature of hall of fame arguments between fans and writers alike. he states that his goal is not to serve individual players or candidates but to "reinforce the truth in what other people say" and to "serve the argument itself." james primarily uses five of his own statistical methods for his justifications: throughout the book james expresses considerable disapproval of the election process, mainly because of the imperfectly defined standards and club-like veterans committee which, particularly in its early years, allowed players of suspect qualifications entrance into the hall of fame. as a solution, he describes an alternative voting system that would consist of five panels—one each for the media, the fans, the players, baseball executives and professionals, and what he calls "baseball scholars". each panel would be able to nominate players individually, but for election a player would need the approval of four out of the five panels. while none of his suggestions has been implemented, many of his ratings systems have stuck as legitimate metrics for measuring a career and for judging the chances of a player making it into the hall of fame. simon & schuster inc., copyright 1994, 1995 by bill james. . the radio one sessions (1996) is a

to the east of the city, with many homes having some of the best views across the auckland harbour. kohimarama is situated between mission bay and st heliers and has an accessible beach with a boardwalk and green recreational spaces located amongst residential areas. according to the 2013 census, kohimarama has a population of 7092. local government of kohimarama is the responsibility of the orākei local board, which also includes the suburbs of orakei, mission bay, st heliers, glendowie, st johns, meadowbank, remuera and ellerslie. kohimarama used to be part of the kohimarama block, land acquired by european settlers from the indigenous māori. this was a large area, from orakei-mission bay to the tamaki river and from the waitematā harbour to the outskirts of panmure. kohimarama’s former name was waiparera, ‘duck water’, as the area was a breeding ground of the parera, the wild grey duck. this name was used by the māori and by the european settlers, the pākehā, until 1870. arriving in auckland in 1841, william field porter, was a month too late for the first government auction, but became the first settler in today’s kohimarama after the second auction. then the area consisted of a lagoon, a raupo swamp and the kohimarama beach, the longest beach in the harbour. porter sent men to clear, fence and drain the area. one of these men was thomas kemp, later to be a landowner of the neighbouring suburb, mission bay. the kohimarama wharf was built in 1912 on the pipimea head between kohimarama and mission bay. the first business in kohimarama was a tearoom which catered to the people arriving at the newly built wharf. the access to the wharf was not easy; people had to walk around the rocks to and from the wharf which ultimately led to the building of the road now known as tamaki drive. from 1892 to 1919, kohimarama was also known as the ‘jockey bay’, since the area was used as a training ground for race horses. in 1919, the stables were moved to ronaki road, mission bay, and the land in kohimarama was leased to w.h. madill, a dairy farmer. today, kohimarama is one of the quieter beaches along tamaki drive with some cosy cafes present along the beach front. the kohimarama yacht club is located on tamaki drive. this club was set up in 1939 for young people and the construction of the club house at gower’s point, between the kohimarama and saint heliers, was finished in 1957. kohimarama has several nature reserves: madills farm recreation reserve, mary atkin reserve, kohimarama beach reserve, sage road reserve and speight road reserve. madills farm recreation reserve used to be part of w.h. madill's dairy farm in 1919. there are four playing fields on the northern half of the reserve. mary atkin reserve, named after an early missionary daughter, is a green open space where people can walk dogs. kohimarama beach reserve is mainly used for swimming. it is located east of the kohimarama yacht club and many boat races are

balionycteris, penthetor, dyacopterus", and "cynopterus". about 30 names for "cynopterus" species have been proposed, but only 16 are taxonomically valid forms. species within this genus are: "falling to pieces" is the third single on faith no more's first studio album with mike patton on vocals, "the real thing". it is one of their best known hits, peaking at # 92 on the billboard hot 100 and #40 on the mainstream rock charts. despite its success and unlike other of the band's hits, the song did not go on to be a live staple, appearing very rarely in concerts after their appearance at the 1993 phoenix festival, where billy gould announced "this is the last time we'll ever play this song again" right before the song. during second coming tour, the band picked up the song again and performed it at least once at a concert in rio de janeiro in 2009. the song was performed at the open'er festival in 2014 for the first time since 2009. in a 2016 interview, gould stated, "that song sucks, let’s face it. i don’t know, we don’t groove on that one. also, when you play it live, it just kind of gets boring". the brixton academy live tracks are different mixes to those found on the of the concert, most notably including the line "about the smack and crack and whack that hits the streets" on "we care a lot", which is mostly muted on the lp mix. the bass-driven song spawned a video directed by ralph ziman (who also directed the video for "epic"), in which lead singer mike patton wears a series of different outfits, including one resembling alex from the stanley kubrick film "a clockwork orange". the video is also notable for using a different mix of the song featuring more prominent background vocals, keyboards, and a guitar solo during the fade out. there is also another lesser known music video which uses clips from the brixton academy performance, played with the album version of the song. sharon marie stouder (november 9, 1948 – june 23, 2013), also known by her

public education in raleigh, north carolina, is served by the wake county public school system and more than a dozen independent public charter schools. the fleet finch (fleet model 16) is a two-seat, tandem training biplane produced by fleet aircraft of fort erie, ontario. there were a number of variants mainly based on engine variations. over several years beginning in 1939, a total of 447 finches were built, nearly all (431) of them for use as elementary trainers in the british commonwealth air training plan (bcatp) during the second world war. the fleet 16b finch ii was a progressive development of the original consolidated fleet primary trainer (fleet 10), manufacture of which commenced in canada by fleet aircraft in 1930. after a royal canadian air force (rcaf) evaluation in 1938 recommended a number of changes, a total of 431 finch trainers were built for the rcaf between 1939 and 1941. the aircraft had conventional construction for the period with a welded steel-tube fuselage having warren truss structure for its sides; and composite metal, wood and fabric design features, with frise ailerons, a flat-bottom airfoiled, variable incidence (trimmable) lifting two-piece tailplane; and similarly "lifting airfoil" on the fixed vertical stabilizer, cambered into an airfoil on its port side only, to offset the p-factor of the propeller's swirling slipstream. the rcaf acquired the aircraft type as an elementary trainer. the fleet 16 first entered rcaf service with tandem open cockpits, but the severity of the canadian winter necessitated the introduction of a sliding canopy at an early stage in the trainer's service career. the earlier model 10's centre-hinged main landing gear radius rods were retained for the model 16 series, as these centre-hinged units had replaced the "looped" left mainwheel's radius rod design that had been on the even-earlier fleet models 1, 2 & 7 biplanes from their own origins in november 1928. the finch was a mainstay of the rcaf prior to and during the early part of the second world war, flying at the elementary flying training schools (efts) in parallel with the better known de havilland tiger moth, also produced in canada. the earlier fleet model 7 (fleet fawn) was also in use for primary training. during 1940, initial production problems were solved and timely deliveries were made to the rcaf, allowing the first training programs to start up. in the following year, the portuguese navy purchased ten model 16ds (ordered as 10bs but changed to the higher powered variant) and later a further five 16ds were delivered in 1942. a total of 606 fleet finches were produced as model 16s, the majority for the rcaf. they were used as initial trainers in the bcatp at no fewer than 12 elementary flight training schools across canada. both the fleet finch and tiger moth were later replaced by the fairchild pt-26 cornell. the finch was progressively phased out of service from october 1944 with the last of the model 16s struck off strength from the rcaf inventory in 1947. "the gift" is episode 97 of the american television anthology series "the twilight zone". a humanoid alien has just crash-landed outside a mountain village in mexico, just across the border from texas. he has killed a police officer and was wounded by another. when he reaches a village bar, he collapses. a sympathetic doctor operates on him, removing two bullets from his chest. the alien (who refers to himself as "mr. williams") becomes friends with pedro, an orphan whose job is to clean the bar. pedro receives a gift from williams, who tells pedro that he will explain it later. meanwhile, the bartender notifies the army about williams' location. williams attempts to escape back to his ship, but soldiers and villagers corner him. he tries to explain that he has come in peace and that the police officer getting shot was an accident. he tells pedro to show the gift to the doctor, but the villagers take the gift from him and set it on fire, claiming that it must be black magic or of the devil. as the villagers watch pedro and williams reaching for each other, fear drives them to shoot williams before he has a chance to harm the boy. with williams lying dead, the doctor picks up the remains of the gift from the fire. he reads the note on it aloud: "greetings to the people of earth: we come as friends and in peace. we bring you this gift. the following chemical formula is...a vaccine against all forms of cancer..." the rest is burned away. the doctor states, "we have not just killed a man; we have killed a dream." ballroom blitz – live at the lyceum is a live album by the

to: st johns is a suburb in auckland, new zealand. the suburb was named after st john's college, a religious training college established in what became the suburb in 1844 by bishop selwyn. the college of st john the evangelist is the theological college of the anglican church in aotearoa, new zealand and polynesia. the complex of buildings occupies the crest of the hill and once commanded expansive views of the harbour to the north. the earliest buildings from the 1840s are the work of frederick thatcher, bishop selwyn's primary architect. thatcher is largely responsible for what is now referred to as the "selwyn style"; wooden gothic buildings based on saxon examples, primarily greensted church, in the small village of greensted in essex. these structures tend to have pronounced exposed wooden beams on the exterior, gabled 60-degree-pitch roofs and lancet windows. to the south of remuera road lies waiatarua reserve. this is a natural basin, prone to seasonal flooding. on several 19th century maps this was shown as a lake and referred to as 'lake remuera', 'lake st john' or 'lake waiatarua' although in reality it was largely an area of swampy ground in which a sheet of shallow water would appear sporadically in the wet season. in 1918, of this land was given to the city council to create waiatarua reserve. as the surrounding farm land was transformed into suburban housing this area became problematic - although in theory the "lake" afforded a picturesque view for the new houses but as it wasn't constantly present it couldn't really be used as a selling feature like lake pupuke on the north shore. conversely it was a breeding ground for mosquitoes and a source of smells as the basin was composed of a peat-like substance subject to smouldering fires which were difficult to put out. in 1929, a drain was bored through the hill to the south west enabling the water to be drained into the adjacent natural stream which feeds into the nearby orakei basin; this drainage system is still in place. in 1934, of the park were leased to the remuera golf club and a course was laid out. the clubhouse was completed in 1935. in 1938 a new course was built around the original layout in response to members’ complaints about the course conditions. in 1968 the course was redesigned by golf course specialist harold babbage and a new club house was built. much of the suburb was developed in the 1960s and 70s when at that time it was seen as a popular place for families to live. the area is part of the zoning for selwyn college, the local state secondary school. the nearby st john's bush is a small chunk of remaining bush. meadowbank is a suburb of auckland city, in the north island of new zealand. meadowbank is under the local governance of the auckland council. the 2006 census counted the suburb as two parts, meadowbank north and south, with st john's road as the dividing line. the two areas combined have a population of 11,016. meadowbank has one shopping centre: meadowbank shopping centre, on the corner of gerard way and st john's road purewa cemetery, one of central auckland's largest cemeteries, is situated in meadowbank and can be accessed from st john's road. st john's college and trinity theological college are also located on st john's road. local primary schools are meadowbank school (public) and mt carmel school, meadowbank (state-integrated catholic). local secondary schools are selwyn college and baradene college of the sacred heart. meadowbank is also home to the waiatarua reserve, the biggest urban wetland restoration project in new zealand. the 20-hectare reserve was once a freshwater lake, but the landscape was altered by the maungarei / mount wellington volcanic eruptions approximately 9000 years ago. mclaren park is a suburb of auckland, new zealand. it is named after new zealand formula one driver and founder of the mclaren formula one team bruce mclaren. the local state secondary schools are henderson high school, rutherford college, st dominic's college and liston college. west harbour is a suburb of auckland, located to the west of auckland city. it is named for its location on the western side of the waitematā harbour. west harbour is under the governance of auckland council after the amalgamation of district councils in 2010. historically a suburb of the former waitakere city territory district, however it has long been considered that this suburb does not form a part of west auckland. local features include many public reserves (the most prominent being luckens reserve, which in 2014 received a basketball court), two local primary schools, west harbour school and marina view school, a church, and farm land. west harbour is home to hobsonville marina, a large marina catering to around 600 of private leisure boats and yachts, which was part of the route the royal family took during their 2014 visit. as the unique terrain of west harbour, most of the houses have a magnificent sea view and city view, which makes the suburb become one of the exclusive suburb in auckland city and home to hundreds of multi million houses and mansions. west harbour has the highest median house price in waitakere city. locally located state secondary schools are massey high school, rutherford college, henderson high school, liston college, waitakere college and st dominic's college. the cathedral of st. vincent de paul () is a roman catholic church located in tunis, tunisia. the cathedral is dedicated to saint vincent de paul, patron saint of charity. it is the episcopal see of the archdiocese of tunis and is situated at place de l'indépendence in ville nouvelle, a crossroads between avenue habib bourguiba and avenue de france, opposite the french embassy. the church, designed by l. bonnet-labranche, was built in a mixture of styles, including moorish revival, gothic revival, and neo-byzantine architectural traditions. construction began in 1893 and the church was opened at christmas 1897, albeit without its belltowers owing to a shortage of funds. the reinforced concrete towers were completed in 1910 using the hennebique technique. cardinal charles lavigerie laid the first stone for a church on 7 november 1881, a little further down avenue de la marine (now avenue habib bourguiba). this was a pro-cathedral; the cathedral of the archdiocese (then called carthage) being the saint louis cathedral. the pro-cathedral was built quickly, but its condition soon deteriorated due to the adverse ground conditions, necessitating the construction of the current cathedral. the number of roman catholics in tunisia fell rapidly following tunisian independence from france. a modus vivendi reached between the republic of tunisia and the vatican in 1964 resulted in the transfer of selected buildings to the tunisian state for public use, including the acropolium of carthage in carthage. however, the cathedral of st. vincent de paul remains under the ownership and operation of the roman catholic church in tunisia. charles gerard may refer to: te atatu south is a residential suburb in auckland, new zealand. its location allows the suburb easy access to the city and henderson town centre. its elevation allows views back on to the city and waitakere ranges. situated on the te atatu peninsula, it has coasts backing on to water on its eastern and western sides with walkways and cycleways on both sides. the area prior to suburban settlement was used largely for vineyards, poultry farms, fruit trees, apples, lemons orchards and flower farms. vineyards were located along te atatu, mcleod and edmonton rd's. there were brickworks under what is now the whau river bridge and a timber mill at the end of roberts rd. the name "te atatu south" was attributed to the area in 1961 when the area of te atatu was divided by the northwestern motorway (state highway 16). with the new motorway, the area rapidly changed in 10 years from rural to suburban. while new homes in te atatu peninsula were dominated by one builder, "neil homes", te atatu south had more diversity in new homes and a large quantity of larger quality family homes. these homes reflected te atatu south being one of the more affluent areas in west auckland during the 1970s and 1980s. today the suburb is redeveloping its roads and town centre to accommodate more modern needs to build a more walkable and vibrant community. primary schools in this area include flanshaw road school, tirimoana primary, freyberg community school and edmonton primary school. the area has one intermediate school, rangeview intermediate. the local state secondary school that services the area is rutherford college which is just north of the boundary between the suburb and te atatu peninsula. it is also home to arohanui special school which caters to students 5 to 21 years of age. te atatu south is home to waitemata afc, west city baseball club (nz's longest running baseball club) and fields for waitakere rugby club. the te atatu boating club was founded in 1959. its main centre is the te atatu town centre where edmonton road and te atatu road intersect. the te atatu

creek from the northwestern cycleway to henderson's twin streams and on to oratia or henderson valley. te whau pathway (in progress): a walkway/cycleway on the eastern side of the suburb running along the historic whau river. when completed it will link te atatu to green bay creating a pathway between the manukau and waitemata harbour's. ferry service (proposed). a ferry service has been proposed to link the suburb to the centre city. 36 te atatu rd – two storey home built in the 1930s for the wealthy ryan family. it has been home to the henderson tennis club and in 1955 it was bought by the

city surrounded by the waitemata harbour with extensive views of the city skyline, central city and north shore. there are also direct views of the auckland harbour bridge. in the early 1980s, emi groot who moved there and decided that "te atatu peninsula" was more fitting, so proceeded to use "peninsula" instead of "north". the name "te atatu peninsula" was formally adopted by the waitakere council in 1997. the harbourside suburb is also known as "the pen", "tat pen", “tat”, “tat norf” or "tat north". te atatu peninsula is located at the western extremity of the waitemata harbour, and is flanked by the henderson creek to the west and by the whau river to the east, both estuarial arms of the harbour, which extend southwest from the harbour itself. the relatively flat peninsula thus formed is four kilometres in length and two kilometres in width, and is joined to the main part of the north island at its southern end. a motorway effectively cuts the peninsula off from the mainland and, with only one road in and out, the area has an almost island-like feel. its population of about 12,474 (as of 2016) is closely matched by the population of te atatu south, the adjoining suburb. until the 1950s, te atatu peninsula was mostly rural. the construction of the north-western motorway lead to development on the peninsula. during the 1960s and 1970s, te atatu peninsula was covered in low- to medium-income houses. te atatu peninsula was the site of the leisureland fun park in the 1980s, which was initially set up in collaboration with the accident compensation corporation complete with a drivertown and pleasure rides. it later became footrot flats fun park in 1985, which closed in 2000. when vacated by leisure activities, this waterfront site has been developed into medium- to high-density high-end waterfront-facing properties. the houses are popular for high-end renovations and many properties have been subdivided, increasing the population density of the suburb, as prescribed under the current auckland unitary plan. the suburb contains multiple primary schools (peninsula primary school, matipo primary school and rutherford primary school), one intermediate school (te atatu intermediate school), and one high school (rutherford college, named after ernest rutherford). cor de la bryère (1968-2000), nicknamed "corde", is one of the most influential sires in modern warmblood breeding. he is known as the "reserve stallion of the century", second only to landgraf i. he stood . cor de la bryere was foaled in france, and was by the thoroughbred rantzau, a racehorse and a producer of fantastic jumping horses. his dam, quenotte b, also had a jumping pedigree, as she was sired by lurioso, that was sired by the great furioso. despite his fantastic pedigree, the french selection committee suggested he be gelded. his owner, xavier ribard, decided to sell him. pedigree for cor de la bryere
1968 dark bay the holsteiner verband had noticed the success that french blood had in the oldenburg breed, which had used the stallions furioso ii and futuro (both by furioso) to upgrade their stock, and wished to introduce it into their own horses. the oldenburg breeder alwin schockemöhle offered to part-lease the stallion urioso (by furioso). an inspection committee travelled to france to evaluate the horse, and happened to find cor de la bryere while they were there. the verband purchased and imported the three-year-old to schleswig holstein, germany, in 1971. the same year, he was the champion of his 100-day test. on april 27, 2000, at the age of 32, cor de la bryere was put down due to acute heart disease. to see an online video of cor de la bryere: described by breeders as a 'gift from heaven', cor de la bryere has been especially successful producing jumping horses, as he passes on his incredible bascule (see here ), scope, and jumping technique. cor de la bryere also passed on his willingness and trainability. romedio graf von thun-hohenstein described the stallion: 'the arching back, like a taut band of steel combined with the super elastic end gives limitless, but always expedient, springing capability to the natural dynamics of each effort. add to that ease of riding, marvelous disposition, and a floating, highly balanced canter. these qualities are absolutely to the benefit of young horses, who will no longer have to pay with premature breakdowns caused by jumping and showing solely with a raw, crude jumping talent.' cor de la bryere has had an incredible impact on the holsteiner breed, occurring in more than 70% of holsteiner pedigrees, and is credited for improving the breed's jumping technique. he also had a huge impact on the oldenburg breed. his influence in france was limited, mainly due to his jumping. although he was quick to fold his front legs, he did not have great power. when crossed with holsteiner mares, which provided this power, his offspring were very successful in the show ring. however, the french mares did not have this power, so they were usually a poor cross to cor de la bryere. cor de la breyer was especially successful in breeding with certain mares. tabelle (by heisporn) produced five approved sons, including calypso i and calypso ii. furgund (by colombo) bred with him 18 times, also producing five approved sons. deka produced caletto i, ii and iii, all by the stallion. cor de la bryere stood at siethwende from 1971 to 1984, zangersheide 1985, elmshorn 1986 to 1988, and sollwittfeld from 1989 until his death in 2000. in his first season, he covered 70 mares, and four colts from his first crop were licensed. furgund, a colombo daughter from stamm 7673, was bred 18 times to cor de la bryere. the pairing produced 6 approved sons and at least one exceptional daughter, all bred by hermann-otto voß. calando i (1974-?) dark bay or brown stallion. with karsten huck, he was german show

an international show jumper from 1997 until 2008, when he was retired at the age of 19. the full brothers caletto i, caletto ii, and caletto iii were out of a consul daughter, deka. the pairing of cor de la bryere with deka also produced the states premium mare legende. legende was shown under the sport name "cordeka" and was a successful show jumper and eventer. caletto i (1975–1999) bay stallion. described as tall and imposing, modern for the time with a handsome face, caletto i was a jumper of tremendous ability and technique, and a great canter. caletto i's dam, deka, produced 11 foals: all but one son became a licensed stallion, and all of her offspring were top-notch competitors. caletto i was a successful sire in his early years, and it was an injury to his genitals put him on track to become 1985's most successful nation's cup jumper in germany. he earned over 100,000 deutschmarks in his career as an international show jumper. following the premature death of his younger full brother, caletto ii, caletto i was tested in the breeding shed again in 1986. in 1999 caletto i was ranked #5 among the top sires of show jumpers by the world breeding federation for sport horses. caletto ii (1978–1984) dark bay/brown stallion. caletto ii stood only four seasons after he was proclaimed champion of his licensing in 1980. he had excellent holsteiner type, an exceptional canter and form over fences. caletto ii reared up and fell over backwards at a show jumping event, breaking his neck. during his short tenure as a sire, caletto ii produced operette la

slaton played high school baseball at antelope valley high school and then played college baseball at antelope valley college. he is the brewers all-time leader in wins (117), innings pitched (2025.3), games started (268), and shutouts (19), and he is third in strikeouts, trailing teddy higuera and ben sheets, and complete games, trailing mike caldwell. he represented the brewers and the

auckland with a population of 4824. this suburb is popular amongst visitors for the beaches, cafés, and views of rangitoto island, the distinctive volcanic island in the hauraki gulf. st. heliers is located at the eastern end of tamaki drive, and used to be the place where the tamaki estuary formally divided auckland from manukau city, until the entire auckland region was amalgated under a single city authority, the auckland council, in 2010. local government of st. heliers is the responsibility of the orakei local board, which also covers the suburbs of orakei, kohimarama, mission bay, glendowie, st johns, meadowbank, remuera and ellerslie. european settlement began on the north-facing slopes of st. heliers bay, with the establishment of the glen orchard homestead, believed to have been built in the 1850s. the building was recognised as a place of historic, architectural and social significance by heritage new zealand in october 2010. this regency-style residence incorporates italianate influences, and has a grand and elegant appearance. glen orchard is a historic example of a prosperous rural homestead, and is linked to the settlers who comprised auckland's early elite. it is known as the residence of lieutenant-general william taylor (1790–1868), and his son charles john taylor who married into the family of the fourth new zealand premier, alfred domett. william taylor was a retired senior officer of the east india company’s madras army. in 1879 glen orchard became auckland’s first stud farm, managed by major walmsley, who suggested the name st. heliers bay, supposedly because it reminded him of the fashionable holiday resort bay of saint helier, in jersey one of britain’s channel islands. in the mid-1880s the homestead became the centre piece of a planned model seaside suburb that was the foundation of present day st. heliers. in november 1881 st. heliers bay was bought by the st. heliers and northcote land company. the aim of this company was to make the land available for residential development. the company realised the area would be more attractive for potential future buyers if st. heliers’ connections to the auckland's town centre were improved. at that time st heliers was usually reached by boat, the trip from auckland taking only 30 minutes, whereas the land route via newmarket, remuera and meadowbank was usually much more onerous. during this period st heliers was a centre for local farmers and the location of the villas of a few rich business people. despite advertisements in "the new zealand herald", such as the example below, ultimately land sales were poor and the company's scheme failed: "“to visit st. heliers bay, formerly glen orchard, is to become impressed with the fact that there is no other bay of equal beauty near auckland. it commands a charming and picturesque view of the north shore, rangitoto, motutapu and brown’s island. the beach is so attractive that it cannot fail to be resorted to as a fashionable watering-place. the soil is partly volcanic and is a warm rich loam which, for orchards and floriculture, leaves little to be desired. it will be seen that the land slopes to the north with hills behind as protection from chilly southern winds; therefore the aspect is an especially favourable one for fruit growing and successful gardening. we may fairly say that with regular and frequent communication by means of tramway, or steamer to the new wharf, it requires no stretch of the imagination to believe that that beautiful bay will become the brighton of auckland“." the advertisement indicates the need for better transport links. the st. heliers and northcote land company built a 460m (1500 foot) piet at st. heliers in 1882 before becoming insolvent. however, the tramway connection to auckland was never realized. by 1890 st. heliers had become a popular waterfront destination for day trippers, with excursions running from auckland and thames. moonlight excursions from auckland were especially popular. for this particular excursion the "eagle" and "osprey" boats were used, since they allowed dancing on board. after tamaki drive was opened in 1931 st. heliers became a commuter suburb and a destination for sunday drives. the wharf is long gone but there is frequently talk of rebuilding it, whenever tamaki drive is gridlocked with traffic. achilles point is regarded as the rocky promontory on the east side of ladies bay, but the name can also indicate the whole headland between st. heliers and the tamaki river estuary. it offers great views of the waitematā harbour, and the gulf islands. the area used to be called te pane o horoiwi (the head of horoiwi), after one of the chiefs of the tanui canoe. in 1940 it was named achilles point in honour of the new zealand battleship "hms achilles" and her crew. the "achilles" opened fire on the german cruiser "admiral graf spee" in the south atlantic on 13 december 1939. in doing so she became the first new zealand unit to strike a blow at the enemy in world war ii, and the first new zealand warship to take part in a naval battle. this confrontation off argentina was later called battle of the river plate, the first major naval engagement of world war ii, during which the "achilles", defeated the "admiral graf spee". dingle dell reserve – in the 1950s dingle dell reserve was described as the forgotten "cinderella of auckland’s parks" in "the new zealand herald". today it is still a peaceful area located in the heart of st. heliers, where people can enjoy a picnic or bush walk. the park hosts, amongst others, the native plants kohekohe and tanekaha, which are the results of native plantings undertaken in 1933. dingle dell was part of major thomas bunbury's four farms, which he bought in 1842. it became a public reserve in 1930 and is now owned and managed by the auckland council. glover park – st heliers has one relatively unknown volcano, a maar of unknown age. its crater had formed a swamp by the time european settlers arrived in the area. on the seaward side, a māori defended settlement once stood, and the landward side is marked by the water tower at its highest point. the auckland city council acquired the land in the 1930s and in 1953 half the area was drained and consolidated. in the same year the tamaki ex-servicemen's women's auxiliary planted trees to commemorate the men of the district who had lost their lives during world war i and ii. unfortunately the drainage project of 1953 proved a failure because the area remained unstable and susceptible to flooding. additional drainage in 1959 made the park safe, and allowed the area to be converted into the sports fields of glover park. it is unclear whether the trees that were planted in 1953 are still the same trees present in glover park today. weet-bix kids tryathlon park – new zealand's first triathlon for children was held at st. heliers in 1992 and attracted approximately 500 participants. children compete over distances starting with a 50-metre swim, 4-kilometre cycle and 1-kilometre run. since 1992 this event has grown considerably with 20,000 children competing in one of the 13 tryathlons around the country in 2013. round the bays fun run – this annual event is the result of the international running boom of the 1970s and 1980s, during which millions of people took up running. the auckland round the bays fun run is one of the largest in the world, and was initiated by the auckland joggers club in the early 1970s. the run is 8.4 km long over tamaki drive, the flat road following the contours of the waitematā harbour, passing hobson bay, okahu bay, mission bay, kohimarama beach, and finishing in st. heliers bay reserve. nowadays it is estimated that between 70,000 and 80,000 runners participate each year. st heliers school is a primary school in saint heliers. it has approximately 770 students and its current principal is craig mccarthny. grafton is a suburb of auckland city, new zealand. the suburb is named for the duke of grafton, a patron of the first governor of new zealand, william hobson, and the grandfather of a subsequent governor, robert fitzroy. once known as 'grafton heights', denoting its history as a well-off suburb in auckland's earliest decades. according to the 2001 census, grafton has a population of 2,052. the suburb is characterised by its many historic buildings, many of them essentially unchanged from the early decades of the 20th century. while the extents of the suburb have shrunk with the motorway and arterial road construction of the middle 20th century, the remaining smaller suburb thus has a highly cohesive structure, which is recognised, for example, in the residential zoning which discourages demolition of existing buildings. grafton has a local resident's association, abbreviated as the gra. during the late 1840s chief pōtatau te wherowhero resided in the auckland domain in a house provided for him by the government, this house was located north of the domain ponds, between the hospital and the southern entrance of what is now called centennial walk. here he was visited by the then governor, george grey. gustavus von tempsky (1828–1868) lived on grafton road in the early 1860s. the early settler outhwaite family resided in their grafton house for nearly eighty five years. noted aviator jean batten stayed with her brother when he lived in seafield view road during the 1930s (house demolished around 2006). the painter max gimblett's family lived in grafton in the 1940s and ran the shop on the corner of carlton gore and seafield view roads. in the 1990s the painter don binney rented the same shop as a studio space. pauline kumeroa kingi cnzm is a notable current resident. glendene is a suburb of auckland, new zealand. it is under the local governance of the auckland council. its population was 13,437 in the 2013 census, an increase of 1,248 from 2006. glendene is a mainly residential suburb with the north-eastern portion devoted to light industry. glendene is named after a farm in the area owned by percy jones, which was later subdivided for housing. most of the development as a residential suburb occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. in april 2014, glendene became a part of the new kelston electorate. the glendene community hub was opened in march 2015 in response to council studies that showed a need for community development in the area. glendene playcentre (birth - 6 years). local primary schools (years 1 - 6) are glendene schoo l (opened in 1965) and tirimoana school (opened in 1969). arohanui school caters for students aged 5 to 21 years with learning disability. based in neighbouring te atatu south, the school includes students who attend other local schools such as glendene school. all schools are coeducational. nearby secondary schools are henderson high school, kelston boys' high school, kelston girls' college, liston college and st dominic's college. wings of fury is a scrolling shooter, with some combat flight simulator elements, written for the apple ii by steve waldo and released in 1987 by brøderbund. the player assumes role of pilot of an american f6f hellcat plane aboard the uss "wasp" in the pacific during world war ii. it was released in 1989 for the x68000 and in 1990 for amstrad cpc, commodore 64, amiga, and ms-dos. a game boy color version was published in 1999. the game is a horizontally scrolling shooter set over a number of world war ii missions. the player starts each mission by taking off from an aircraft carrier, which he/she has to protect from attacks by japanese planes. the goal is to defeat the japanese by destroying enemy bunkers, turrets and barracks on a series of islands and killing enemy soldiers either with bombs or by machine gun. the weapons to complete these objectives, besides machine guns, are a limited number of bombs, rockets and torpedoes. on some missions, the player must also sink japanese vessels, such as destroyers, battleships, and aircraft carriers. the player has a finite amount of fuel and munitions, which can be replenished by returning to the carrier. the player's aircraft can be destroyed by accumulated damage from enemy fire or by crashing into the terrain. "computer gaming world" stated that the game had "some of the best action graphics pulled out of the apple in recent memory", and concluded that "wings of fury" was "an exciting, memorable game for anyone remotely interested in action games". the game received 4 out of 5 stars in "dragon". patrick sarsfield gilmore (december 25, 1829 – september 24, 1892) was an irish-born american composer and bandmaster who lived and worked in the united states after 1848. while serving in the union army during the u.s. civil war, gilmore wrote the lyrics to the song "when johnny comes marching home". this was published under the pseudonym louis lambert in september 1863. gilmore was born in ballygar, county galway. he started his music career at age fifteen, and spent time in canada with an english band. he settled in boston, massachusetts in 1848, becoming leader of the suffolk, boston brigade, and salem bands in swift succession. he also worked in the boston music store of john p. ordway and founded ordway's aeolians, a group of blackface minstrels. with the salem band, gilmore performed at the 1857 inauguration of president james buchanan. in 1858 he founded "gilmore's band," and at the outset of war the band enlisted with the 24th massachusetts volunteers, accompanying general burnside to north carolina. after the temporary discharge of bands from the field, governor andrew of massachusetts entrusted gilmore with the task of re-organizing military music-making, and general nathaniel p. banks created him bandmaster-general. when peace resumed, gilmore was asked to organize a celebration, which took place at new orleans. that success emboldened him to undertake two major music festivals at boston, the national peace jubilee in 1869 and the world's peace jubilee and international musical festival in 1872. these featured monster orchestras of massed bands with the finest singers and instrumentalists (including the only american appearance by "waltz king" johann strauss ii) and cemented gilmore's reputation as the leading musical figure of the age. coliseums were erected for the occasions, holding 60- and 120,000 persons. grateful bostonians presented gilmore with medals and cash, but in 1873 he moved to new york city, as bandmaster of the 22nd regiment. gilmore took this band on acclaimed tours of europe. it was back on home soil, preparing an 1892 musical celebration of the quadricentennial anniversary of christopher columbus' voyage of discovery, that gilmore collapsed and died in st. louis. patrick s. gilmore was buried in calvary cemetery (queens, new york). in many ways gilmore can be seen as the principal figure in 19th-century american music. he was a composer, the "famous 22nd regiment march" from 1874 is just one example. he held the first "promenade concert in america" in 1855, the forerunner to today's boston pops. he set up "gilmore's concert garden", which became madison square garden. he was the musical director of the nation in effect, leading the festivities for the 1876 centennial celebrations in philadelphia and the dedication of the statue of liberty in 1886. in 1888 he started the tradition of seeing in the new year in times square. gilmore was the first american band leader to feature the saxophone. the french "garde republicaine" military band performed at the world peace jubilee and gilmore was sufficiently impressed that in the following year he reorganized his band to include the instruments that the french band introduced to american ears. the new band included a soprano-alto-tenor-baritone saxophone section featuring edward a. lefebre (1834-1911) as soloist, which also performed as a quartet that became the archetype of the standard classical saxophone quartet. the promotion by gilmore and lefebre resulted in the first production of american saxophones and a shift of the center of the saxophone world from france to the united states around the turn of the century. in 1891, he played for some of thomas edison's first commercial recordings. musically, he was the first arranger to set brass instruments against the reeds, which remains the basis for big band orchestration. his arrangements of contemporary classics did a great deal to familiarize the american people with the work of the great european musical masters. patrick sarsfield gilmore was inducted into the songwriters hall of fame in 1970. james furnell (born 23 november 1937 in clitheroe, lancashire) was an english footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. furnell started his career at his local club burnley, signing at the age of 17. as third-choice keeper he only played twice in eight seasons at turf moor, before being signed by liverpool in february 1962. furnell immediately took the no. 1 jersey at liverpool, playing all 13 of the club's remaining matches that seasons, as they won a second division title and promotion to the first division. however, after breaking his finger in a training ground accident early in the 1962-63 season, he lost his place to tommy lawrence. he played two matches in 1963-64 before being sold to arsenal for £15,000 in november 1963. furnell immediately slotted into the arsenal first team, making his debut the day after he signed, on 23 november 1963 against blackpool; the match finished 5-3 to arsenal. furnell went on to become the long-term successor to jack kelsey, playing as arsenal's no. 1 for the next five seasons (aside from 1964-65, when he shared the spot with tony burns). under manager billy wright, however, arsenal struggled to make an impact in either the league or the cups. with the promotion of bertie mee to manager in 1966, arsenal's form began to pick up, although furnell didn't stay at the club long enough to enjoy it. although he played in the 1967-68 league cup final against leeds united (which arsenal lost 1-0), in the following match, an fa cup tie against birmingham city, he made an error which let in birmingham's equaliser. he was dropped with bob wilson taking his place, and never played for the arsenal first team again. he was sold in september 1968 for £8,000 to rotherham united; he had played 167 matches for arsenal in total. after two years with rotherham he moved to plymouth argyle in 1970. he played for five and a half years for plymouth before his retirement in the summer of 1976. as part of the club's centenary in 2003, furnell was named as goalkeeper in the pilgrims' all-time greatest xi by the club's fans. after retiring as a player, he was a coach at plymouth before joining blackburn rovers in 1981; he served as a coach there until his retirement in 1998. in a 2007 web poll, furnell was named plymouth's best goalkeeper of all time. "one more pallbearer" is episode 82 of the american television anthology series "the twilight zone". it originally aired on january 12, 1962. millionaire paul radin invites three people to the bomb shelter that he has built. he greets them politely but without genuine warmth as he holds a personal grudge against each of them. one is a high school teacher (mrs. langsford) who failed him when he was caught cheating on a test and attempting to frame another student to avoid the consequences; the second is colonel hawthorne, who had him court-martialed when radin endangered lives by disobeying orders; and the third is rev. hughes, who made a public scandal out of a woman who committed suicide over him. radin, with the aid of sound effects and fake radio messages, convinces the trio that an apocalyptic nuclear war will occur in just moments. he offers them refuge in the shelter if they do one thing: apologize for their actions. all three refuse his offer and leave the shelter, valuing their honor above their lives and preferring to spend a last few moments with their loved ones or alone than to live with radin. mrs. langsford, still believing radin will survive but be left alone, tells him to try to cope. she tells him that he has spent his life deluding himself about his own character and what is right and wrong. radin screams hysterically that this is not true. suddenly, the sound of a bomb detonation shakes radin's shelter. he takes the elevator to the surface and emerges to see the world devastated and in ruin. this twist ending is given another twist, however, when we learn that radin, devastated by his hoax's failure, has lost his mind and is only imagining the total destruction. radin sobs helplessly at the foot of a fountain outside his intact building while a police officer tries to aid him. the bunte (company's preferred spelling in capital letters) is a german-language people magazine published by hubert burda media. the first edition was published in 1948 under the name "das ufer". under the leadership of hubert burda, the bunte developed into a modern popular magazine. today, the bunte has one of the highest circulations of all german publications and is one of the most popular media brands in the group. after patricia riekel stepped down, robert pölzer took over as editor-in-chief in july 2016. after the end of wwii, the french authorities commissioned ex-nazi publisher franz burda to come up with an illustrated magazine and, following their request, he released the first edition in 1948 under the name "das ufer". whereas the editorial section was initially provided by the french authorities, an independent editorial team emerged at the end of the 1950s. from the beginning, the magazine reported on a wide variety of events in society. in 1953, marking the coronation of elisabeth ii, a special issue was produced with a circulation of 100,000 copies. franz burda had previously taken out a loan to purchase the photo copyrights (against the will of his family). in 1954, "das ufer" changed its name to "bunte illustrierte", reflecting a key element of large-format photo series in the center of the publication, which were already printed in color. in the 1950s and 1960s, bunte developed into one of the most widely distributed german popular magazines. acquisitions also played a role in the expansion of the magazine: in 1958, the "deutsche illustrierte" was taken over. in 1960, the "münchner illustrierte", with a circulation of some 500,000 copies, was added to the portfolio, so that the "bunte münchner illustrierte" first surpassed the one million mark at the beginning of 1961. in addition, the publishing company bought the traditional "frankfurter illustrierte" in 1963, which was also merged into the "bunte". from then on, the publication was called "bunte münchner frankfurter illustrierte". beyond focus on high society, in the 1960s the bunte more and more frequently featured topics such as post-war rebuilding, cinema films and music. the magazine attracted major attention, for example, with a photo series about the iron curtain. in july 1972, the "bunte illustrierte" first appeared under the abbreviated name of the "bunte". in the years that followed, the magazine was shaped above all by hubert burda, who started out in 1974 as an editor at the "bunte". two years later, he took over the position as editor-in-chief from bernd ruland. under his management, the magazine developed into a modern popular magazine for middle class society, and by the mid-1970s, the "bunte" had grown to become germany's bestselling magazine. in 1983, burda-verlag unveiled its new headquarters at arabellapark in munich. that same year, various editorial teams, including the "bunte", moved from main headquarters in offenburg to the bavarian state capital. in 1985, burda-verlag purchased from rolf mengele the handwritten notes of his father, josef mengele, which consisted of several thousand pages, for one million deutsche marks, which resulted in the bunte's publishing a series of articles on the notorious doctor from the auschwitz concentration camp, who was among the perpetrators of gruesome medical experiments on live human beings. the burda-verlag did not pay royalties from reprints to rolf mengele, instead they went to the survivors of auschwitz and their dependents. after the death of franz burda in the year 1986, the burda group was reorganized. hubert burda transitioned from editor-in-chief of the "bunte" into the position of publisher. his designated successor was initially peter boenisch, who, however, already had to relinquish this position at the end of 1986, among other reasons, owing to differences concerning the future direction of the publication and the losses into the millions incurred by the bunte. at the end of 1986, lothar strobach was ultimately appointed as the magazine's new editor-in-chief, and franz josef wagner took on the role as co-editor in 1989. after strobach left the burda-verlag in 1994, wagner remained editor-in-chief until the end of 1996. his tenure was only interrupted by an intermezzo of editor-in-chief beate wedekind, who only lasted one year from 1992/1993 as editorial head of the "bunte", however. after wagner was forced to step down due to faltering circulation, axel thorer was initially under consideration for editor-in-chief at the "bunte". finally, however, patricia riekel took over the management of the magazine in january 1997, and with the beginning of her tenure, the cover of the "bunte" for the first time featured a politician, gerhard schröder. from then on, politics became an integral part of the publication. an additional example for this is the publication of defense minister rudolf scharping's vacation photos at a time shortly before germany's armed forces, the bundeswehr, faced a deployment abroad. instead of nobility, riekel put a spotlight on the so-called "new elites", positioning the bunte as a magazine for women with "time, money and a desire for high-end gossip." the circulation of the "bunte" stabilized and in 2001 even reached a new record. under the leadership of riekel, the magazine developed into one of germany's most "enigmatic media brands". in 2001, the berlin daily, "der tagesspiegel", declared that the "bunte" was the new "key medium of our republic". whereas other magazines were struggling to make ends meet, the bunte was able to expand its market share. the publication moved into the center of the so-called "burda people group", which later also included the magazines "amica" and "tomorrow". in 2002, the bunte launched its first website in cooperation with t-online. by contrast, "bunte tv" was unsuccessful: the magazine aired on ard was cancelled after only six shows due to low ratings. in 2003, burda-verlag invested several million in the relaunch of the "bunte", including better paper quality and a more modern layout. despite declining circulation, the "bunte" was a business success in the years that followed. together with "focus", the "bunte" achieved the lion's share of its publisher's profits. in 2016, patricia riekel left the publication after 1,000 issues of the "bunte". since then editor-in-chief robert pölzer has been at the helm of the people magazine. the bunte is one of the most popular media brands of hubert burda media. like other magazines, however, it saw its reach diminished in recent years. paid circulation has declined by 31.3 percent since 1998 and is currently 468,710 copies. the share of subscriptions is at around 19.1 percent. the bunte was repeatedly embroiled in court cases with celebrities. in 1995, for example, caroline, princess of hanover, won what up to that time was the largest-ever award for damages for pain and suffering in the history of the german press before the higher regional court of hamburg, because the "bunte" had published a totally fabricated interview with her. the interview contained numerous untruthful details on her private life. the "bunte"'s chief editorial staff's counterargument was that they had been duped by an outside agency, which had sold the interview to the publication. in 1996, tom cruise sued the "bunte" for damages because it wrongly quoted him in an interview as allegedly being "sterile". the deputy editor-in-chief günter stampf, who had manipulated the interview, was then forced to leave the publishing company. the "bunte" apologized to cruise, who subsequently dropped the lawsuit. in 2008, the german press council reprimanded the "bunte" due to a violation of the german press code. the publication had run an article on a new car model and, as the german press council determined, exceeded the bounds of hidden advertising for the new product. in 2010, the magazine "stern" published an exposé reporting that the "bunte" had hired an external agency to spy on the private lives of certain politicians. as a result, one of the persons affected, the former spd chairman franz müntefering, publicly reprimanded the "bunte" for its working practices. in 2011, prior to the beginning of the kachelmann trial, the "bunte" published an interview with the moderator's ex-girlfriend, who in exchange is said to have received remuneration of 50,000 euros. while kachelmann's defense lawyer raised the topic of the agreement before court, burda-verlag rejected the criticism. in 2013, the former german federal president christian wulff filed for a preliminary injunction against the bunte. the district court of cologne forbade the magazine to create the impression that wulff allegedly had a relationship with a music manager. the "bunte", in turn, did manage to come up on top in some court cases. in 2010, for example, charlotte casiraghi lost a case against the publication. the daughter of caroline, princess of hanover, had originally taken action against the publication of party photos. in 2016, günther jauch lost a legal dispute in the last instance concerning the "bunte"'s reporting on his wedding. günther jauch's lawyer alleged that the television host's privacy had been violated. the european court of human rights could discover no violation of rights, however. it held that the german courts had carefully weighed the right to privacy against the informational interest of the public. a swingin' affair! is the twelfth studio album by frank sinatra. it is sometimes mentioned as the sequel to "songs for swingin' lovers". "the lady is a tramp" was bumped from the original album and replaced with "no one ever tells you", which had been recorded months earlier. later, "the lady is a tramp" appeared on the soundtrack for "pal joey". it was restored to the album for the compact disc release. tracks 1, 9, 14, 16: 26-november-1956 (monday) - hollywood. mickey mangano, harry edison, shorty sherock, ray linn (tpt); juan

the capt. thomas j. mcdonnell criminal justice center. the academy offers introductory police officer training, county correction officer training, and juvenile detention officer training. the academy is a partnership with camden county college, the camden county prosecutor's office and the camden county chiefs of police. members of the police academy would, monday through friday, conduct the flag raising and lowering ceremony on campus. the flag raising ceremony, which included both a united states national flag and an mia/pow flag, was conducted before the beginning of classes. the flag lowering ceremony would take place just before the conclusion of the business day of the college. this tradition began in 1988 when the police academy was moved to camden county college. in september 2011 the police academy was moved to the regional emergency training center of camden county college in blackwood, new jersey. with the move of the police academy to another ccc campus the raising and lowering ceremony, which included elaborate parade maneuvers by cadets and the singing of the united states national anthem, was concluded in may 2011. the video below is the flag raising ceremony at camden county college by the camden county police academy in april 2011. the honors program was inaugurated in the fall 2008 semester. the purpose of the honors program is to create an academically rigorous yet supportive community. students must maintain a 3.5 gpa to remain in the program. classes within the honors program are smaller – usually capped at 20 students rather than the usual 40 – and are writing intensive. members of the program are required to participate in three campus-based cultural or service events and will have special social, academic and scholarship opportunities available to them during the school year. students who graduate as a member of the honors program receive a special designation in the commencement brochure. graduates from the honors program have transferred into honors programs at rutgers–camden, arizona state university, american university, stockton & drexel as well as to wesleyan university. the honors program also has a partnership with rutgers–camden which allows ccc students transferring to rutgers–camden to be automatically approved for admittance into the rutgers–camden honors program. the honors program is run by jennifer hoheisel, professor of philosophy and ethics, who was also the college's 2010 lindback award winner for teaching excellence. the center for civic leadership and responsibility, directed by professor

(born august 18, 1970 in bloomington, indiana) is an american distance runner. he is considered one of the best american distance runners in history. now retired, in 1996 he was ranked 4th in the world at the 5000 meters. he once held the american record in the 3000 meters (7:30.84), 2 miles (8:11.59) and the 5000 meters (12:58.21). he was the first ever non-african to run the 5000 metres in less than thirteen minutes, and he is still one of only seven non-africans to do so. he is regarded as one of the greatest u.s. distance runners in history. kennedy was twice state champion in cross country while at westerville north high school. kennedy was the 1987 national junior champion in cross country. he still holds the ohsaa record for 1600 meters at 4:05:13. kennedy opted to compete for the indiana hoosiers and won 16 big ten conference track titles. in 1988, he won the ncaa men's cross country championship, becoming one of a few true freshman ever to win the event. he won the ncaa 1500 meter championship in 1990 and the ncaa indoor mile championship in 1991. during his senior year, kennedy a second ncaa men's cross country championship and the usatf national cross country championships. he was the second person in history to win both titles in the same year. in fact, nobody had won both titles since al lawrence in 1959 and 1960. kennedy's second usatf national cross country title came in 2004. the twelve-year gap between those two titles was the longest in usatf history. kennedy participated in several world cross country championships, finishing as high as 12th place in 1995. the highlight of kennedy's career came in the 1996 atlanta olympics. in the 5000 meter finals, kennedy surged to the front at the beginning of the penultimate lap and forced the pace. he held the lead for almost a lap and was ultimately passed just before the closing lap, eventually placing 6th. he had also made it to the finals of the 1992 olympic 5000 m race and placed 12th. he also ran the 5000 m in the world championships in athletics for the us in 1991 (12th), 1993, 1995 (12th), 1997 (6th), and 1999 (9th). kennedy held american records for the 3000 m (7:30.84 min in 1998) and 5,000-meter races (12:58.21 min in 1996), he participated in workouts with kenyan athletes also coached by mcdonald at the group's training bases in the u.s., australia and england. mcdonald rarely gave his athletes goal times for workouts, and they regularly ran sub-4 minute miles in practice kennedy suffered a back injury in an auto accident before the 2000 olympic trials and missed seven weeks of training so that he was not able to make the olympic team that year. in 2001, he was hindered by thyroid problems. he returned to win the usa track & field (usatf) championships 5000 meter race against colorado grad adam goucher, who by then was largely seen to be kennedy's successor. he was able to beat the younger and faster goucher by alternating the pace between each lap, surging then slowing, forcing goucher to come to him after each surge and blunting goucher's finishing kick. in all, kennedy was four time usatf national champion in the 5,000 – 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2001. after running a personal best of 27:37 in the spring of 2004, kennedy competed in the 2004 us olympic trials in the 10,000 meter race, but had to drop out of the race due to aggravation of an achilles tendon injury he had suffered in the weeks leading up to the olympic trials. after recovering from the injury he briefly tried his hand at the marathon, dropping out of the new york city marathon that autumn and since then has retired from competitive distance running. nike has created two racing spikes in honor of him, the nike kennedy xc and nike zoom kennedy. both are popular and sought-after racing spikes; however the nike zoom kennedy has been discontinued and the kennedy xc has been renamed the ghac xc, due to the expiration of bob kennedy's endorsement contract with nike. in may 2006 kennedy signed a three-year contract with puma. bob kennedy is father to twins. sophia kennedy is known for her running. the answer is never is the second full-length album recorded by the band howards alias. the album was released by household name records on 7 june 2004 on compact disc. a huge leap in terms of quality of both songwriting and production in comparison to debut the chameleon script, this was the sound of a much more mature and less ska punk-influenced howards alias. as the band had become a quartet by this point, it was up to the multi-talented nicholas horne to play both trumpet and trombone during the recording process. this added a subtle irony to the fact that the album was touted as being 'closer to the live sound of howards alias', as did the inclusion of a string instrument section on certain songs. clocking in at just over an hour in length, the answer is never is commonly regarded as howards alias' best altogether album. the album artwork was provided by uk comic book artist, chronic fatigue. jose gómez or jose gomes may refer to: fragmenta valesiana is the name given to fragments of roman text written by cassius dio, dispersed throughout various writers, scholastics, grammarians, lexicographers, etc., and collected by henri de valois. "thanks for the night" is a single by the damned, released in may 1984. it was recorded at something of a transitional stage for the group, being the last studio recording completed with captain sensible until 2001's "grave disorder" album. it was also the first released recording to feature bass player bryn merrick, and also the first with "strawberries" keyboardist roman jugg as a full member of the band. the song also bore a strong resemblance to the "strawberries" album track "ignite". the b-side, "nasty", was recorded for the bbc comedy series "the young ones", and was performed during the episode of the same name in 1984. the single was also issued in germany by bellaphon records. while it was not attached to any damned album, it was later included on several damned compilations and live albums, as were the b-side tracks. a version of the song also appeared on captain sensible's solo album "the power of love". bonus track on 12" single: - francis whiting halsey (october 15, 1851 – november 24, 1919) was an american journalist, editor and historian, born in unadilla, new york. he was the son of dr. gaius leonard halsey, a civil war surgeon, and juliet (cartington) halsey. he was the grandson of dr. gaius and mary (church) halsey of kortright, new york, and a descendant of thomas halsey, who emigrated from england before 1640 and helped to found the settlement of southampton, long island, one of the earliest english settlements in new york. francis halsey prepared for college at the unadilla academy and graduated from cornell university in 1873, taking one of the prizes for an essay in english literature. he was assistant editor of the binghamton times (1873–1875), a member of the editorial staff of the "new york tribune" (1875–1880), and in 1880 joined the staff of "the new york times" as foreign editor and writer of book reviews. he was literary editor of the "times" from 1892 through 1896, and became the first editor of the "times saturday review of books and art" in 1896. in 1902, he left the "review" to become a literary advisor to d. appleton & company. subsequently, he joined funk and wagnalls in the same capacity, remaining with that publisher until his death. halsey was a prolific author and editor. his original works included travel writing ("two months abroad", collecting his reportage for the "tribune" on the paris world's fair (1878)), new york state history ("" (1901), "the pioneers of unadilla village, 1784-1840" (1902), and a number of articles), literary criticism ("our literary deluge and some of its deeper waters" (1902)) and family history (extended introduction to "thomas halsey of hertfordshire, england and southampton, long island" (1895)). as a compiler and editor, he assembled several enormous collections of, "inter alia", famous speeches, prose literary works, travel narratives and writings about american history. (see the list of works "infra".) his major achievement was the ten-volume "literary digest history of the world war", consisting largely of skillfully collated and rewritten newspaper accounts and official documents, enhanced by a plethora of photographs. publication began within a year after the conclusion of the conflict. while the work obviously is a "first draft of history", it is a good one that can be read with profit even today. the author did not, however, live to see it to completion. he died while at work on the final volume. active in the affairs of his alma mater, he was elected president of the new york association of cornell alumni in 1882 and was twice the candidate of new york and other alumni for trustee of cornell in 1882 and 1883, during the alumni agitation for new methods in university management. he was elected a member of the aldine and cornell clubs in new york. he lectured on early american history and made addresses before the new york historical society, the new york library club and the wyoming, pennsylvania commemorative association. in 1883, he married virginia isabel, daughter of alexander stanton and sarah ann forbes of new york city. she died in january 1899. in her memory, he published, anonymously, "virginia isabel forbes" the year after her death. he did not remarry. halsey's brother, frederick arthur halsey, graduated from cornell in 1878 with a degree in mechanical engineering, authored articles and books about engineering, with an emphasis the metric system, and was editor of the "american machinist." frederick's daughters were marion s. and olga s. halsey. faith baptist bible college and theological seminary is a private christian college and seminary in ankeny, iowa. at the 1893 world's fair in chicago, william h. jordan heard dwight l. moody speak about the importance of training christian workers for the ministry. impressed by moody's vision, jordan also was burdened to see schools established that would carry out that objective. in 1921, as pastor of third presbyterian church in omaha, nebraska, jordan founded omaha bible institute to educate men and women in the bible, theology, and ministry. enrollment declined and costs increased in the 1940s, and the board of trustees considered closing the school. john l. patten, pastor of grace baptist church in omaha, saw the need for the school to continue. in 1947, patten volunteered to step in as the school's new leader. he served as president until 1965. under his leadership, the institution changed its name (to "omaha baptist bible institute", and later to "omaha baptist bible college") and sought the support of baptist organizations. in 1956, the general association of regular baptist churches approved obbi. to this day, the garbc remains an important part of student enrollment, though there is no longer any official affiliation or approval system in place. in the 1960s, obbc outgrew its omaha facilities. relocation to ankeny took place in 1967, and the school again changed its name to "faith baptist bible college". in the 1980s, declining enrollment at denver baptist bible college caused dbbc and fbbc to merge. fbbc also added the seminary at about the same time. faith's campus is located in ankeny, a suburb of des moines. at the time of its construction, the campus was the westernmost point in ankeny. within fifteen years, residential development surrounded the property. the campus is built around a large center circle. it consists of 24 buildings. some of them are: faith baptist bible college and theological seminary is accredited by the higher learning commission of the north central association of colleges and schools and by the association for biblical higher education. the institution also maintains membership in the american association of christian colleges and seminaries. faith baptist bible college is a member the national christian college athletic association (nccaa) division 2. they are part of the north central region with providence university college and theological seminary, north central university, and trinity bible college. the eagles compete in 7 sports: women's volleyball, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, track and field, and cross-country. the eagles also compete in the midwest christian college conference. "the hunt" is episode 84 of the american television anthology series "the twilight zone". it originally aired on january 26, 1962 on cbs. hyder simpson is an elderly mountain man who lives with his wife rachel and his hound dog rip in the backwoods. rachel does not like having the dog indoors, but rip saved hyder's life once and hyder refuses to part with him. rachel has seen some bad omens recently and warns hyder not to go raccoon hunting that night. when rip dives into a pond after a raccoon, hyder jumps in after him. only the raccoon comes up out of the water. the next morning, hyder and rip wake up next to the pond. when they return home, hyder finds that rachel, the preacher, and the neighbors cannot hear or see him, and are tending to the burial of both him and rip. walking along the road, hyder and rip encounter an unfamiliar fence and follow it. they come to a gate tended by a man, who explains that hyder can enter the elysian fields of the afterlife. told that rip cannot enter and will be taken to a special afterlife for dogs, hyder angrily declines the offer of entry and decides to keep walking along the "eternity road," saying, "any place that's too high-falutin' for rip is too fancy for me." later, hyder and rip stop to rest and are met by a young man, who introduces himself as an angel dispatched to find them and take them to heaven. when hyder recounts his previous encounter, the angel tells him that gate is actually the entrance to hell. the gatekeeper had stopped rip from entering because rip would have smelled the brimstone inside and warned hyder that something was wrong. the angel says, "you see, mr. simpson, a man, well, he'll walk right into hell with both eyes open. but even the devil can't fool a dog!" as the angel leads hyder along the eternity road toward heaven, he tells hyder that a square dance and raccoon hunt are scheduled for that night. he also assures hyder that rachel, who will soon be coming along the road, will not be misled into entering hell. the plot is based on a 1953 episode of "the kate smith hour", "the hound of heaven", which was written by hamner. in the government of the united kingdom, the minister for the arts is a ministerial post, usually a low to middle-ranking minister to the much senior secretary of state, who runs the entire department and is ultimately responsible for the department's brief. the post has been in a variety of ministries, but after 1997 it has been a minister of state position in the department for culture, media and sport. from 1992 to 1997, the post was combined with the office of secretary of state for national heritage. the title of the post was changed to minister for culture in 2005, and to minister for culture, creative industries and tourism in 2007. under that last title, the office was held by barbara follett mp, who was appointed on 5 october 2008, until 22 september 2009. ed vaizey was appointed by then prime minister david cameron to the position as minister for culture, communications and creative industries at parliamentary under-secretary of state level, a post vaizey initially split between the department for culture, media and sport (dcms) and the department for business, innovation and skills (bis), but is now entirely placed in the dcms. "the individuals who have held the office of minister for the arts or equivalent existing positions, their terms and under which prime minister." king kullen grocery co., inc. is an american supermarket chain based on long island. the company is headquartered in bethpage, new york and was founded by michael j. cullen on august 4, 1930. as of 2018, the chain operates 32 locations. it is notable for its title of "america's first supermarket" as recognized by the smithsonian institution. king kullen meets the criteria of america's first supermarket because it was “the first to fulfill all five criteria that define the modern supermarket: separate departments; self-service; discount pricing; chain marketing; and volume dealing.” the food marketing institute has stated that king kullen “served as the catalyst for a new age in food retailing. the super market institute recognizes that there is dispute regarding which store is america’s first supermarket, but “credits the modern supermarket – ‘the huge self-service, cash-and-carry, one-stop outlet with small markup, large volume, and the all-important parking lot’ – to the great depression and a man named michael cullen.” king kullen was founded by michael j. cullen, a former kroger employee who devised the concept of the modern supermarket. while the branch manager of the herrin, illinois branch of the kroger grocery & baking company stores, managing 94 small stores, cullen wrote a six-page letter to john bonham, a kroger vice-president, proposing a new type of food store with a focus on low prices, cash sales, and without delivery service, in larger stores (at low rents) with ample parking. he described what he envisioned as “monstrous stores, size of some to be about forty feet wide and hundred and thirty to a hundred and sixty feet deep, and they ought to be located one to three blocks off the high rent district with plenty of parking space, and some to be operated as a semi-self-service store – twenty percent service and eighty percent self-service.” in his proposal, cullen suggested that this new type of store could achieve 10 times the volume and profits of the average kroger or a&p, making kroger "the greatest chain grocery concern on the face of the earth." after cullen's letter went unanswered, he resigned and moved with his wife nan and their children to long island, where he launched his concept. cullen leased a vacant garage at 171-09 jamaica avenue, on the corner of 171st street and jamaica avenue in jamaica (queens), near a busy shopping district. the store, named "king kullen", opened on august 4, 1930. after an over 80 year presence in new york city, king kullen left that market in 2011 with the sale of its 3 remaining new york city stores in eltingville, graniteville, and greenridge on staten island. very soon after opening the first king kullen, customers came from 100 miles away to shop there. the first store was ten times larger than the atlantic & pacific tea company stores in the market. the second store was opened a few miles away from the first store, on jamaica avenue in bellaire, queens. within two years of opening, the company operated eight stores. the early stores were 5200 to 6400 square feet big. within 6 years of opening, king kullen had 15 locations. by 1952, king kullen had 30 stores, ranging in size from 10,000 to 15,000 square feet. cullen died in april 1936 at the age of 52, from peritonitis following an appendectomy. his widow nan took over king kullen, becoming chairman of the board. she was joined by her sons james a. cullen (then 24) and john b. cullen (then 15). king kullen remains owned and operated by the cullen family, with second, third and fourth generation family members working for the company. during the 1980s, former new york city councilman jack muratori served as a king kullen board member. in 1995, king kullen opened wild by nature, an independent subsidiary. wild by nature is a grocery store marketed as selling wholesome, natural products. wild by nature has five locations (setauket, huntington, hampton bays, oceanside and west islip). "supermarket news" ranked king kullen no. 75 in the 2007 "top 75 north american food retailers" based on 2005–06 fiscal year estimated sales of $800 million. king kullen operates 32 locations on long island, in nassau and suffolk counties. nine king kullen stores operate full-service pharmacy departments, with online refills available. four king kullen locations offer online grocery shopping, with delivery and pickup. king kullen delivers groceries to most of nassau county, many parts of suffolk county (including fire island), and some neighborhoods in queens. on january 4, 2019 it was announced that stop & shop (a division of ahold delhaize) will purchase both king kullen's 32 stores and its 5 wild by nature stores. adam sandler referenced king kullen in the 2018 netflix comedy "the week of". the geh statistic is a formula used in traffic engineering, traffic forecasting, and traffic modelling to compare two sets of traffic volumes. the geh formula gets its name from geoffrey e. havers, who invented it in the 1970s while working as a transport planner in london, england. although its mathematical form is similar to a chi-squared test, is not a true statistical test. rather, it is an empirical formula that has proven useful for a variety of traffic analysis purposes. using the geh statistic avoids some pitfalls that occur when using simple percentages to compare two sets of volumes. this is because the traffic volumes in real-world transportation systems vary over a wide range. for example, the mainline of a freeway/motorway might carry 5000 vehicles per hour, while one of the on-ramps leading to the freeway might carry only 50 vehicles per hour (in that situation it would not be possible to select a single percentage of variation that is acceptable for both volumes). the geh statistic reduces this problem; because the geh statistic is non-linear, a single acceptance threshold based on geh can be used over a fairly wide range of traffic volumes. the use of geh as an acceptance criterion for travel demand forecasting models is recognised in the uk highways agency's design manual for roads and bridges the wisconsin microsimulation modeling guidelines, the transport for london traffic modelling guidelines and other references. for traffic modelling work in the "baseline" scenario, a geh of less than 5.0 is considered a good match between the modelled and observed "hourly" volumes (flows of longer or shorter durations should be converted to hourly equivalents to use these thresholds). according to dmrb, 85% of the volumes in a traffic model should have a geh less than 5.0. gehs in the range of 5.0 to 10.0 may warrant investigation. if the geh is greater than 10.0, there is a high probability that there is a problem with either the travel demand model or the data (this could be something as simple as a data entry error, or as complicated as a serious model calibration problem). the geh formula is useful in situations such as the following: the akhbaris () are twelver shia muslims who reject the use of reasoning in deriving verdicts, and believe in quran and hadith. the term akhbari (from "khabara", news or report) is usually used in contrast to usuli (from "uṣūl al-fiqh", principles of islamic jurisprudence). unlike usulis, akhbaris do not follow or do taqleed of a mujtahid, the "marja‘"s (models for imitation) who practice modern form of ijtihad (independent legal reasoning); consequently they do not accept usul al-fiqh. akhbaris perform taqleed of imam muhammad al-mahdi the twelfth imam of shias who is in the occultation. they say taqleed is permissible when it is performed of an infallible hujja, whereas they consider taqleed to be forbidden when it is performed of a non-infallible. contrary to usulis, akhbaris believe in the perpetuity of sharia from only the infalibles, so the right to interpret the quran is only to 14 infallibles who have complete in-depth gnostic knowledge ("al-rāsixūn fi-l-ʿilm" ). whereas the former believe in the development of jurisprudence with time 'uṣūl al-fiqh', akhbaris seek religious rulings or islamic jurisprudence from a dead or living muhaddith, who has narrated or narrates the rulings hadith of the fourteen infallibles without interpreting it. further akhbaris say that the fourteen infallibles or shia imāms never permitted ijtehad. although usulis and akhbaris use the same hadiths, they differ in many aspects as the latter only use the sacred scriptures as sole sources. most akhbaris believe no one can give new religious rules until the return of the mahdi as the saviour of humanity. akhbari nowadays form a minority within shia islam, with usulis making up the majority. akhbarism "crystalized" as a distinct movement with the writings of muhammad amin al-astarabadi (d. 1627) and achieved its greatest influence in the late safavid and early post-safavid era. however, shortly thereafter muhammad baqir behbahani (d. 1792), along with other usuli mujtahids, crushed the akhbari movement. today it is found primarily in the basra area of southern iraq (where they form the majority in many districts) although no longer in the city. they are also found in the island nation of bahrain, hyderabad, india and different cities of pakistan karachi, sehwan, hyderabad, lahore, faisalabad (lylpur), chakwaal, and gojar khan with reportedly "only a handful of shi'i ulama" remaining akhbari "to the present day." akhbaris consider themselves to be bounded by the hadith of the two weighty things, where the prophet muhammad instructed his followers to follow the quran and ahl al-bayt. therefore, even for new events occurring during the major occultation, akhbaris continue to follow traditions of ahlul bayt, as per the saying of imam muhammad al-mahdi where he said "as for the new events, which will occur (during my occultation) turn to the narrators of our traditions, because they are my proof to you, while i am the proof of allah to them" akhbari reject fatāwa based on "ijtihad", they also reject the permissibility of writing exegesis of the qur'an without quoting the narrations of the infallible "ahlu l-bayt". akhbari quote the "hadith ath-thaqalayn" and several authentic traditions of the twelve imāms to prohibit the practice of exegesis. akhbaris do not believe in generalization of hadith, they say hadith is either right or wrong; further they believe that hadiths compiled in the four books of shias are reliable. it is reported that imam muhammad al-mahdi acknowledged kitab al-kafi (which is among the four books of shias) and said "al-kafi is sufficient for our shia (followers)". where usulis doubt the credibility of this saying as author of kitab al-kafi never quoted the same. in short, the gist of akhbārī ideology is that nothing but the aḥadīth of the infallible can serve as authoritative evidence in islam. akhbārīs also differ from usūlīs in their rejection of the "guardianship of the islamic jurists", arguing that preachers of religion have no role in politics, clerics should advise political leaders but not govern themselves. akhbaris believe in separation of religion and state in absence of twelfth imam, they say that only an infallible ruling imam has a right to combine religion and state; and which will be accomplished only after the arrival of awaited shia imam. usūlism evolved on the basis of usul al-fiqh (the hypothetical concepts and perceptions of some scholars) centuries after the major occultation. among the earliest shī‘a "ulamā"' such as muhammad ibn ya'qub al-kulayni and ibn babawaiyya, the most important activity was transmission of a ḥadīth. at this time, the shī‘a distinguished themselves from the sunni in the category of law, which employed such methods as qiyas "analogical reasoning" and exegesis". however, the shī‘a developed law directly from the traditions of the imāms. initially during the buyid period, the twelver ulamā' considered that since the imām had gone into occultation and his "nā'ib al-khass" was no longer present, all the functions invested in the imām had lapsed. the principal functions of the imām had been: however, it soon became apparent that the situation caused by the lapse of functions of the hidden imām was extremely impractical and left the twelver shī‘a community at a great disadvantage, with no leadership, no organization and no financial structure. akhbaris contend that, over the course of the history of twelver shi'ism since the occultation, usuli ulama have progressively usurped more and more of the functions of the hidden imam. they distinguish five stages in this usurpation. as early as the 5th century ah / 11th century ce, more than 150 years after the occultation of the 12th imām, shaykhu t-ta'ifa reinterpreted the doctrine to allow delegation of the imām's judicial authority to those who had studied "fiqh". although he implies in his writings that this function should only be undertaken by the ulama if there is no one else to do it. shaykhu t-taifa considered the ulamā' the best agents of the donor to distribute religious taxes since they knew to whom it should be distributed. nevertheless, individuals were free to do this themselves if they wished. he allowed "fuqahā"' to organize friday prayers in absence of the imām or his special representative. the prominent shī‘a scholars who rejected this thesis were: it is to be noted that `alam al-huda was from among the shaykhu t-taifa's group. by the 13th century, muhaqqiq al-hilli was able to advance these concepts very considerably. he extended the judicial role of the ulama to "iqamat al-hudud" the imposition of penalties by ulama themselves. in his writings it is possible to see the evolution in his thinking whereby the fuqahā' develop from the deputies of the donor for the distribution of religious taxes in his early writings to being the deputies of the hidden imām for collection and distribution of the taxes in his later works. in effect, transgressing the limits set by shaykhu t-taifa (two centuries earlier) in his first transgression. muhaqqiq al-karkhi (about 300 years after the second transgression) was the first to suggest, arguing from the hadith of ‘umar ibn hanzala, that the ulama were the "nā'ib al-'amm" (general representative) of the hidden imām. but he restricted his application of this argument to the assumption of the duty of leading friday prayers. it was shahīd ath-thānī who took the concept of nā'ib al-'amm to its logical conclusion in the religious sphere and applied it to all of the religious functions and prerogatives of the hidden imām. thus the judicial authority of the ulamā' now became a direct reflection of the authority of the imām himself. it was now obligatory to pay the religious taxes directly to the ulamā' as the trustees of the imām for distribution and the donor who distributed these himself was considered to obtain no reward. this is in direct contradiction to limits set by prior transgressions. furthermore, shahīd ath-thānī extended the range of those eligible to receive money from "zakāt" to include religious students and the ulamā' themselves, who thus became the recipients of the money as trustees of students. even in the field of defensive "jihād", shahīd ath-thānī identified a role for the ulamā'. only in the field of offensive jihād did he allow that the role of hidden imām had lapsed pending his return. although the aforementioned scholars were not "mujtahids" in their full capacity, they introduced innovative concepts into shī‘a theology which later formed the basis of the exegetical school. their innovations were sharply criticized by prominent shī‘a scholars of their time and thus, remained mostly theoretical. the traditional shī‘a doctrine was, by its nature, fatal to leadership of any regime except that of imām al-mahdi since they believed that an islamic state can be established only under the leadership of an infallible imām. thus, the shī‘a had little role to play in supporting the decisions of the state, in contrast with the sunni tendency of offering their full support to the ottoman empire. this caused a great deal of paranoia to the states where the shī‘a were in majority. by the end of safavid era the situation had become intense due to the rise of imperialism on a global scale. it was necessary to develop an alternate ideology for the survival of iranian state. this is when a group of ulamā' were encouraged to squeeze out the possibility of extending the state's control over the shia majority; by whatever means necessary. the revival of akhbārism, or "neo-akhbārism" as it became known, was under the dean of karbala scholarship, yusuf al bahrani (1695–1772), who led an intellectual assault on usuli thought in the mid-18th century. an akhbārī critique of usulism had emerged in bahrain at the beginning of the 18th century, partly spurred by the weaknesses of the usuli sponsoring safavid empire. by succeeding to the role of dean of karbala as one of the pre-eminent scholars of the age, al-bahrani's extended this bahrain-based debate to the rest of the shī‘a world. under al-bahrani, usuli scholarship was considered impure but bahrani was not politically influential, although his student, the famous sheikh al-hurr al-aamili in his book "amal al-amil" writes "he was a mountain and ocean of knowledge, no one from among the previous scholars preceded his knowledge or reached his status". {edit: this seems completely incorrect. the al-bahrani referred to in this quote is referring to sayyid hashim al-bahrani. however this article is relating it to another scholar; the previously mentioned yusuf bahraini, who died nearly a century after sheikh al-hurr aamili} it was muhammad baqir ibn muhammad akmal al-wahid bihbahani who challenged and defeated the akhbaris and eventually became the most politically influential cleric in karbala in 1772. bihbahani's theology was not welcomed by the akhbaris. although this controversy had begun as a minor disagreement on a few points, it eventually grew into a bitter, vituperative dispute culminating in bihbahani's declaration that the akhbārīs were infidels (kuffar). however, the dispute remained purely intellectual. at first there was a large population of akhbārī activists at the shrine cities of iraq but it was bihbahani who, at the end of the 18th century, reversed this and completely routed the akhbārīs at karbala and najaf. south iraq, bahrain and a few cities in iran such as kirman remained akhbārī strongholds for a few more decades but eventually the usuli triumph was complete and only a handful of shī‘a ulamā' remained akhbārī to the present day. after the theological coup brought about by al-wahid bihbahani by military methods, the usuli school became instrumental to the iranian regime. during the first russo-persian war (1804–1813), fath ali shah's son and heir, abbas mirza, who was conducting the campaign, turned to the new ulama and obtained from shaykh ja'far kashif al-ghita' and other eminent clerics in najaf and isfahan a declaration of jihad against the russians, thus implicitly recognizing their authority to issue such a declaration – one of the functions of the hidden imām. kashif al-ghita used the opportunity to extract from the state acknowledgment of the ulama's right to collect the religious taxes of khums." this followed the pattern of other transgressions by overthrowing the limits of its prior (fourth) transgression. following the iranian revolution, the usūlī school has gained popularity among previously akhbārī communities. usuli clerical power reached its natural conclusion with control and domination of the state as promulgated through "vilayat al-faqih" under the authority of the supreme leader. akhbārīs reject and even curse mujtahids. they practice this based on the last letter imām mahdi wrote to ‘alī ibn muhammad, fourth trusted follower of the lesser occultation. in the letter, imām zaman said: akhbārīs claim that only the imāms may be described as "āyat allah"s (ayatollahs, "signs of god") based on the "hadith-e-tariq", and that no one else has the right to ascribe this divine title to themselves. for example, the "hadith-i tariq" says: historically it was only in the early 19th century that ordinary "mujtahids" began to describe themselves as 'ayatollahs.' akhbārīs claim to follow hadith directly, without the need for generalisation, or of finding the reason for the decision. this, according to usulis, is a logical impossibility. hadith takes the form of case law, that is to say the narration of decisions taken in a concrete situation. to "follow" such a decision one must know which features of the situation are or are not relevant to the decision, as exactly the same set of facts will never occur twice. therefore, some degree of generalisation is unavoidable, even on the most literal view: the choice is simply between mechanical generalisation and intelligent generalisation. regarding islamic laws, there are various issues faced by muslims in their daily lives. e.g. doubts in "salāt" and their corrections, conditions which invalidate a fast and the relevant compensations, rulings vis à vis correctness or incorrectness of various social and business practices e.g. investing in mutual funds, use of alcohol based perfumes and medicines, etc. yet, akhbaris say that the imams mentioned general-rules that we may use to know the ruling of modern issues. francis joseph parater (october 10, 1897 – february 7, 1920) was a roman catholic seminarian from the diocese of richmond who died of rheumatic fever at the age of 22 during his theological studies in rome. he was nominated for canonization, the process by which one is declared a saint, in 2001. frank parater was born on october 10, 1897 to a catholic family in richmond, virginia, the son of captain francis j. parater, sr. and his second wife, mary richmond. while growing up, he served as an altar boy, and attended the xaverian brothers' school (subsequently called saint patrick's school) and benedictine high school (subsequently called benedictine college preparatory) in richmond. in 1917, he graduated as the valedictorian of his class. parater was active in scouting, and achieved the rank of eagle scout. parater decided to pursue a vocation to the priesthood after high school, and began college at belmont abbey seminary in 1917. as a seminarian, he was noted for his dedication to prayer and his intellectual and physical abilities. in 1919, his bishop, denis j. o'connell, sent him to study theology at the pontifical north american college in rome. he officially began his studies there on november 25, 1919. in january 1920, parater became very ill with rheumatic fever. he received last rites and died on february 7. after his death, his "act of oblation," a sort of prayer and spiritual testament he had written, was discovered. two popes have asked for copies of it, and it has been published in english and in the "l'osservatore romano" in italian. his body is interred in the mausoleum of the north american college in rome's campo verano cemetery. the "nihil obstat" of the holy see to begin the cause for frank parater's canonization was granted on may 8, 2001. the bishop of richmond at the time, walter f. sullivan, established the tribunal on march 24, 2002. the postulator of the cause is rev. j. scott duarte, j.c.d. usulis () are the majority twelver shi'a muslim group. they differ from their now much smaller rival akhbari group in favoring the use of "ijtihad" (i.e., reasoning) in the creation of new rules of "fiqh"; in assessing hadith to exclude traditions they believe unreliable; and in considering it obligatory to obey a "mujtahid" when seeking to determine islamically correct behavior. since the crushing of the akhbaris in the late 18th century, it has been the dominant school of twelver shi'a and now forms an overwhelming majority within the twelver shia denomination. the name "usuli" derives from the term "uṣūl al-fiqh" (principles of jurisprudence). in usuli thought, there are four valid sources of law: the quran, hadith, ijma' and 'aql. ijma' refers to a unanimous consensus. aql, in shia jurisprudence, is applied to four practical principles which are applied when other religious proofs are not applicable: "bara'at" (immunity), "ihtiyat" (recommended precautions), "takhyir" (selection), and "istishab" (the presumption of continuity in the previous state). the term usuli is also sometimes used to refer more generally to students of "usul" especially among early muslims, without regard to shia islam. students/scholars of the "principles" of fiqh are distinguished from scholars of "fiqh" itself, whose scholars are known as "faqīh" (plural "fuqahā"'). the usuli believe that the hadith collections contained traditions of varying degrees of reliability, and that critical analysis was necessary to assess their authority. in contrast the akhbari believe that the sole sources of law are the qur'an and the hadith, in particular the four books accepted by the shia: everything in these sources is in principle reliable, and outside them there was no authority competent to enact or deduce further legal rules. in addition to assessing the reliability of the hadith, usuli believe the task of the legal scholar is to establish intellectual principles of general application ("usul al-fiqh"), from which particular rules may be derived by way of deduction. accordingly, usuli legal scholarship has the tools in principle for resolving new situations that are not already addressed in quran or hadith (see ijtihad). an important tenet of usuli doctrine is taqlid or "imitation", i.e. the acceptance of a religious ruling in matters of worship and personal affairs from someone regarded as a higher religious authority (e.g. an 'ālim) without necessarily asking for the technical proof. these higher religious authorities can be known as a "source of imitation" (arabic "marja taqlid" مرجع تقليد, persian marja) or less exaltedly as an "imitated one" (arabic مقلَد "muqallad"). however, his verdicts are not to be taken as the only source of religious information and he can be always corrected by other muqalladeen (the plural of muqallad) which come after him. obeying a deceased taqlid is forbidden in usuli. taqlid has been introduced by scholars who felt that quranic verses and traditions were not enough and that ulama were needed not only to interpret the quran and sunna but to make "new rulings to respond to new challenges and push the boundaries of shia law in new directions." by their debates and books, al-mufid, sayyid-al murtada, and shaykh al-tusi in iraq, were the first to introduce the "uṣūl al-fiqh" (principles of islamic jurisprudence) under the influence of the shafe'i and mu'tazili doctrines. al-kulayni, in rey, and al-sadduq, in qom, were concerned with a traditionalist approach. the second wave of the usuli was shaped in the mongol period when al-hilli introduced the term "mujtahid", meaning an individual qualified to deduce ordinances on the basis of authentic religious arguments. by developing the theory of the "usul", al-hilli introduced more legal and logical norms which extended the meaning of the "usul" beyond the four principle sources. amili was the first scholar to fully formulate the principles of "ijtihad". these traditional principles of shi'a jurisprudence were challenged by the 17th-century akhbari school, led by muhammad amin al-astarabadi. a reaction against akhbari arguments was led in the last half of the 18th century by muhammad baqir behbahani. he attacked the akhbari and their method was abandoned by shia. the dominance of the usuli over the akhbari came when behbahani led the usuli to dominance and "completely routed the akhbaris at karbala and najaf," so that "only a handful of shi'i ulama have remained akhbari to the present day." santeri alkio (finnicized form of "aleksander filander"; 17 june 1862 in laihia, finland – 24 july 1930 in laihia) was a finnish politician, author and journalist. he is also considered to be the ideological father of finnish centre party. alkio's parents were juho and maria (née jakku) filander. he married teacher anna augusta falenius in 1896. initially santeri alkio was active in the young finnish party, but in the end decided it was too liberal for the farming population; urbanized parties did not, in his estimation, pay enough attention to the causes that were most important to farmers. to keep the agrarian folk from becoming ensnared by socialism, he founded the "etelä-pohjanmaan nuorsuomalainen maalaisliitto" ("young-finnish countrymens' union of southern ostrobothnia"), which he later fused into the less ideological "maalaisväestön liitto" ("union of the rural population", later centre party of finland). alkio became the chief ideologue of the maalaisliitto, and is still considered the father of the party in spirit. the party still refers to "alkioish" tendencies in some of its factions. alkio was a member of the finnish house of representatives from 1907–1908 and again from 1914–1922. he was vice-chairman of the eduskunta in 1917 and 1918. when the october revolution began in russia, the bolshevik declaration of the rights of the peoples of russia led to controversy in the finnish parliament on how to respond. based on alkio's proposal, the parliament of finland assumed sovereignty in finland on november 15, eventually leading to the finnish declaration of independence on december 6 (independence day of finland). after independence, alkio continued in parliament as the minister of social affairs from 1919–1920. he was the minister of social affairs of the vennola government from (15 august 1919 – 15 march 1920). an ardent temperance-movement activist, he participated in drafting the finnish prohibition and also was the minister responsible for the confirmation of president k. j. ståhlberg. alkio was an extremely prolific author. he founded the newspaper "ilkka" and was its editor through the years 1906–1930. his likeness graced a finnish stamp on 17 july 1962. alkio was a fervent spokesman for democracy and finnish national independence. he led the youth association movement, which above all wanted to defend the values of rural life and foster temperance and healthy living, a desire the movement held in common with the coeval christian revivalist and labor movements. despite his christian background, alkio was a strong opponent of state church. in 1906 alkio wrote that "we want to liberate the beautiful and simple teachings of jesus from the tyranny of theology and that is why we would like to withdraw the support of the state from one confession and to proclaim it to all." as a nationalist, alkio supported the independent senate of svinhufvud. during the summer of 1917, he had supported usurping the highest power in the land from russia via the power of government act (lex tulenheimo) while the parties on the right still opposed it. alkio thought the red revolt supported by russian soldiers was an attempt to return finland to soviet russia: "it [the revolt] is meant to set finnish independence at nought." ("sen [kapinan] tarkoituksena on tehdä tyhjäksi suomen itsenäisyys.") alkio was also a pacifist. he attributed this to the influence of mahatma gandhi. on 15 january 1920, he wrote in maan ääni newspaper that europe should consider the question of the united states of europe. this article made him one of the first important proponents of european integration. ut unum sint (latin: 'that they may be one') is an encyclical by pope john paul ii of 25 may 1995. it was one of 14 encyclicals issued by john paul ii. cardinal georges cottier, theologian emeritus of the pontifical household, was influential in drafting the encyclical. like many encyclicals, this one derives its title from its "incipit" or first few words, which are taken from the prayer of jesus in the vulgate translation of the gospel according to john. it deals with the catholic church's relations with the orthodox church and other christian ecclesial communities. this document reiterated that unity of these two "sui juris" churches is essential, as well as further dialogue and unity with the protestant churches. this document shows that the catholic church is officially moved to unity. it has become a common piece of study in ecumenical classes. ut unum sint was the first encyclical ever devoted exclusively to the ecumenical imperative. in this groundbreaking exercise of the papal magisterium, pope john paul affirmed that the ecumenical commitment made at vatican ii was irreversible. he taught his fellow catholics that the quest for christian unity ought to be sustained both internationally and in the local churches. in paragraph 54 the pope wrote that "the church must breathe with her two lungs!" in paragraph 79, five subjects are noted to be important for "more clear" understanding that will bring unity: after an introduction, the encyclical's three chapters are entitled: it concludes with an exhortation calling on "everyone to renew their commitment to work for full and visible communion". (paragraph 100) the ultimate goal of the ecumenical movement is to re-establish full visible unity among all the baptized." (para. 77) "it is understandable how the seriousness of the commitment to ecumenism presents a deep challenge to the catholic faithful. the spirit calls them to make a serious examination of conscience." (para. 82) "i therefore exhort my brothers in the episcopate to be especially mindful of this commitment. the two codes of canon law include among the responsibilities of the bishop that of promoting the unity of all christians by supporting all activities or initiatives undertaken for this purpose, in the awareness that the church has this obligation from the will of christ himself. this is part of the episcopal mission and it is a duty which derives directly from fidelity to christ, the shepherd of the church. indeed all the faithful are asked by the spirit of god to do everything possible to strengthen the bonds of communion between all christians and to increase cooperation between christ's followers: "concern for restoring unity pertains to the whole church, faithful and clergy alike. it extends to everyone according to the potential of each"." (para. 101) "ut unum sint" (official vatican text) lowell high school may refer to: pure autonomic failure (paf) is a form of dysautonomia that first occurs in middle age or later in life; diagnosed more often in men than in women. a degenerative disease of the autonomic nervous system, symptoms include dizziness and fainting (caused by orthostatic hypotension), visual disturbances and neck pain. chest pain, fatigue and sexual dysfunction are less common symptoms that may also occur. symptoms are worse when standing; sometimes one may relieve symptoms by lying down. more pervasive autonomic dysfunction involving any of the following: night sweats or abnormal lack of sweating, urogenital problems (frequent utis, incontinence, frequency, urgency), gastrointestinal problems (chronic constipation, chronic constipation alternating with diarrhea, poor gastric motility), or esophageal/respiratory problems (sleep apnea, abnormal breath sounds during sleep or while awake) indicate possible autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy or multiple system atrophy. the pathology of pure autonomic failure is not yet completely understood. however, a loss of cells in the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord has been documented, as has a loss of catecholamine uptake and catecholamine fluorescence in sympathetic postganglionic neurons. in general, levels of catecholamines in these patients are very low while lying down, and do not increase much upon standing. pharmacological methods of treatment include fludrocortisone, midodrine, somatostatin, erythropoietin, and other vasopressor agents. however, often a patient with pure autonomic failure can mitigate his or her symptoms with far less costly means. compressing the legs and lower body, through crossing the legs, squatting, or the use of compression stockings can help. use of an abdominal binder is even more effective. also, ingesting more water than usual can increase blood pressure and relieve some symptoms. in 1925, bradbury and eggleston first characterized three patients seemingly with a common syndrome, with what they described as "the occurrence of syncopal attacks after or during exertion or even after standing erect for some minutes. other features in the three patients are a slow, unchanging pulse rate, incapacity to perspire, a lowered basal metabolism and signs of slight and indefinite changes in the nervous system. each of these patients felt much worse during the heat of summer." further research identified multiple causes for these syndromic findings, now grouped as primary autonomic disorders (also called primary dysautonomia), including pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy, and parkinson's. the primary differentiating characteristic of pure autonomic failure is decreased circulation and synthesis of norepinephrine, and dysfunction localized peripherally. it is relevant to note that progression to central nervous system neurodegeneration can also occur. it is named for samuel bradbury and cary eggleston. a (hebrew: , pl. ') refers to an institute of jewish studies for women. in israel, it is often an orthodox institution that caters solely to women, and roughly the equivalent of a yeshiva for men. the term is often translated as 'seminary'. in the united states, the term has also been used to refer to co-educational jewish studies programs. in israel, a midrasha that offers degree studies is sometimes called a "machon" (institute). some ' accept both men and women, such as the ein prat midrasha in israel. the word "'" is based on the term "beit midrash", "house of study". it is cognate with the arabic "'," which also refers to a place of learning. ' vary in curriculum and philosophy. more liberal ' often place more emphasis on the study of talmud itself, as in men's , while more conservative ' tend to only incorporate selections from the talmud in the context of classes on the hebrew bible, jewish philosophy, ethics (musar) and jewish law instead. most ' in the latter category are modeled on the beis yaakov teacher-training seminary established by sarah schenirer. many orthodox jewish girls attend a ' in israel for a year or more following high school. some ' are designed for the newly observant. most ' for english-speaking students are accredited by american colleges. some ' offer second-year programs with religious-studies classes in the morning and general-studies classes in the afternoons, allowing students to pursue a religious education and a general-studies education leading to a college degree simultaneously. in israel, several of the religious affiliated teacher training colleges also offer a religious studies program in conjunction with the b.ed. degree. while a hebrew school program typically handles jewish education for youths before their bar/bat mitzvah, students who wish to continue their jewish education through high school enroll in a midrasha. an off-tackle run in american football is a play in which the running back carries the ball through a running lane off of the tackle's block. the lead block kicks out the end man on the line of scrimmage, and another offensive player usually blocks the linebacker. it can be useful in short yardage situations, and with large backs. the most simple form of this play has the strong side offensive lineman step towards the ball and block any defender inside of him. the fullback will kick out the end man to create the running lane for the ball carrier. the maryland i used the 2nd back to lead through the hole and block the linebacker. more complicated versions of the play have pulling guards block the linebacker or combination blocks by a tight-end and tackle to create the hole and block the linebacker. the off-tackle play is a key feature of the single wing offense. primary autonomic failure (also called primary dysautonomia) refers to a category of dysautonomias -- conditions in which the autonomic nervous system does not function properly. in primary dysautonomias, the autonomic dysfunction occurs as a primary condition (as opposed to resulting from another disease). autonomic failure is categorized as "primary" when believed to result from a chronic condition characterized by degeneration of the autonomic nervous system, or where autonomic failure is the predominant symptom and its cause is unknown. such "primary" dysautonomias are distinguished from secondary dysautonomias, where the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is believed to be caused by another disease (e.g. diabetes). diseases categorized as primary autonomic failure usually include pure autonomic failure and multiple system atrophy. many scientists also categorize parkinson disease and familial dysautonomia as "primary". george david william smith frs, fimmm, finstp, frsc, ceng (b. 1943, in aldershot, hampshire) is a materials scientist with special interest in the study of the microstructure, composition and properties of engineering materials at the atomic level. he invented, together with alfred cerezo and terry godfrey, the atom-probe tomograph in 1988. george d. w. smith graduated from oxford with a metallurgy degree in 1965, and did postgraduate work in the chemistry department, where he used the field emission microscope and the field ion microscope to study the epitaxial growth of nickel on tungsten. smith returned to the department of materials where he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow with sir peter hirsch to establish a research group for metallurgical field ion microscopy. he led the oxford research group where cerezo, smith, and godfrey developed novel atom probe techniques for the direct observation of solid materials in three dimensions on the atomic scale. together with oxford colleagues, he founded a spin-out company, oxford nanoscience ltd., which is part of cameca instruments inc., manufacturer of equipment for nanotechnology research. he was elected fellow of the royal society in 1996, and was member of its executive council from 2002 to 2004. from 1997 to 2005 he served on the council of the institute of materials, being vice president in 2002. he was the founding chair of the institute of materials nanomaterials and nanotechnology committee, and also chaired the first international conference on nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing (london, uk, 2003). from 2000 to 2005 he was head of the department of materials at the university of oxford. from 2005 to 2011 he was a member of the advisory council of the british library. he is a member of the dberr energy materials advisory group, and was the lead author of the 2007 dti / matuk report on nuclear energy materials (note that this set of 2007 working group reports also accurately predicted a forthcoming energy crisis around 2015). he was the uk leader for the uk-china partnership in science, in the areas of materials science and nanotechnology (2007–08), and chaired an international panel which reviewed the rcuk nanoscience programme (2009–10). he officially retired from his academic post in oxford in 2010, but continues to be active in research as an emeritus professor of materials, and as an external consultant to an energy company. he is also an honorary professor at the university of science and technology beijing, an advisory professor at chongqing university. within oxford, he is an honorary fellow of corpus christi college and an emeritus fellow of both trinity and st cross colleges. he has published extensively on the subjects of phase transformations and phase stability in metals and alloys, and on the atomic scale structure and chemistry of catalyst surfaces. he is author of 2 books and over 350 scientific papers the company oxford nanoscience ltd. received several awards for its technological achievements, including an international research and development award (1993), prince of wales award for innovation (1997), millennium product designation (1998), and a dti national award for innovative measurement (2004). in gridiron football, the holder is the player who receives the snap from the long snapper during field goal or extra point attempts made by the placekicker. the holder is set on one knee seven yards behind the line-of-scrimmage. before the play begins he places the hand which is closest to the place kicker on the ground in a location designated by the kickers foot (in high school games, the holder/kicker combo is responsible for a kicking block, which lifts the ball off the turf), with his forward hand ready to receive the snap. after receiving the snap, the holder will place the football on the turf, or block, ideally with the laces facing the uprights and the ball accurately placed where the back hand was initially, then balancing the ball with one or two fingers until the ball is kicked. the holder, like the placekicker and the long snapper, is protected from intentional contact from the opposing team. the penalty for roughing the holder is 15 yards and an automatic first down. compared to other american football positions, the holder is one of the most trivial positions, requiring precision in the receipt of a snap and placement of a ball in short time, but requiring far less physical talent than a skill position and much less bulk or strength than a lineman. because of this, it is exceptionally rare for a team to preserve a roster spot solely for a placekick holder; most teams will instead use a player who plays another position to double as the holder. one notable exception was patricia palinkas, the first female professional football player; palinkas played holder (and no other position) during her short time as a pro player. the holder's actual position, on the team's official depth chart, is generally either the punter or the backup quarterback. some high school football teams will place a wide receiver or running back at the holder position because of their good hands (this is not unheard of at other levels; steve tasker, a wide receiver and punt gunner, also played holder at various times in his nfl career, as does his son luke tasker, also a wide receiver. others include tight end jay novacek and safety keith lyle). the rationale for having a backup quarterback holding is that the quarterback is accustomed to receiving snaps from center and long snaps from the shotgun formation. he also provides a threat for a fake field goal since the quarterback can throw a pass on such plays. additionally, in the event of a bad snap and an aborted kick attempt, the holder might have to become the quarterback for the play, so having an actual quarterback helps in that regard. years ago in the nfl, backup quarterbacks generally held for field goal kicks. having the backup quarterback play as the holder has faded out in the nfl, mainly due to a rule in the nfl's collective bargaining agreement that prohibited a team's third-string quarterback from playing except in emergencies (this was repealed in the 2011 cba, but since that time, most nfl teams have only carried two quarterbacks on the active roster). however, such usage has remained rather common in collegiate football. many times a quarterback who was a redshirt freshman will serve as the holder his sophomore year. it is also common in other professional leagues such as the arena football league (where there is no punting and are thus no punters) or the canadian football league, where roster size restrictions generally result in one person serving as both placekicker and punter. in today's nfl, most teams use their punter as holder. new england patriots' head coach bill belichick explained that punters are generally holders for the reason that punters and kickers usually have more time together to game plan, watch film, and are able to have more reps during practice than a player who has to play another position. there are a few nfl teams that still use a quarterback as their holders. new orleans saints – the saints tend to run more fake field goals than any other team, and due to that they generally keep a backup in as their holder (this keeps opposing defenses in more of a zone coverage, and also helps to prevent blocked field goals). their holder for a period was quarterback luke mccown, but is now punter thomas morstead. dallas cowboys – when tony romo was signed by the dallas cowboys, he was their backup quarterback, and as the backup quarterback, part of his job was to be the team's holder. romo was replaced by the punter in 2010, but due to many mishandled snaps, which resulted in missed field goals, romo returned as the team's official holder. the cowboys hired a more experienced holder, brian moorman, in 2012; moorman left the team at the end of the season. throughout the 1990s, starting tight end jay novacek was the usual holder on kicks. oakland raiders – the raiders' matt schaub was used as the holder during the 2014 season. denver broncos – the broncos used to have former starting quarterback jake plummer as the holder and continued to do so after he was benched in favor of jay cutler. after plummer retired the broncos began to use their punter as the holder. washington redskins – starting quarterback joe theismann held for mark moseley from the late 1970s until he suffered his career-ending broken leg during a 1985 "monday night football" game vs. the new york giants. seattle seahawks – steve largent, a wide receiver, was the kick holder, and in 1985, he ran in a muffed snap for an extra point. during a "fake field goal" attempt the holder may pick the ball up and either throw a forward pass or run with the ball (i.e., act as the quarterback would on a standard play). in addition, the holder may attempt a run or pass if the snap is botched and a successful kick is unlikely. however, this rarely succeeds; the holder is usually tackled promptly. there can also be a holder during kickoffs and free kicks, but this is reserved for when the ball tee cannot keep the ball up by itself, usually due to wind. in such a case, the holder can be of any position and, because kickoffs involve a much higher risk of being involved in a tackling play, is usually a defensive player of some sort. given the trivial nature of the position, no award for holders existed until 2015 when peter mortell, then a senior punter and holder for the minnesota golden gophers and known for his humor, created a tongue-in-cheek "holder of the year" award for the best holder in college football, named it after himself, and made himself its first recipient. espn recognized the award at their yearly espy awards ceremony (alongside more serious, major position awards), with mortell accepting via pre-recorded video. the award subsequently continued and was awarded in 2016 to senior quarterback/holder garrett moores of michigan. in 2017, the award was given to connor mcginnis of oklahoma. frederick or fred morgan may refer to: disney magazine was an official disney magazine that was published quarterly from december 1965 to april 2005. the "disney magazine", otherwise known as "disney news" "magazine", was the “official magazine for magic kingdom club families” and ran between the years of 1965 and 2005. the magazine was sent out four times a year, with one edition per season and was free to members of the magic kingdom club (mkc). the magazine began life as disney news in december 1965. the first issue was 16 pages long, and the cover showed walt disney surrounded by several costumed characters in front of disneyland's sleeping beauty castle. the magazine was initially a free benefit for members of the mkc but later started charging a cover price (discounted for members). the publication changed its name to "the disney magazine" in march 1994 to better reflect the increased size and content of the magazine. it became simply "disney magazine" in the summer 1996 issue. for people that were a part of the magic kingdom club, they were sent the "disney magazine" for free. this fan-based club, was a way for southern california residents to have a discounted admission price into the park. when walt disney world opened in 1971, the program became nationwide, allowing anyone the opportunity for a cheaper admission, as well as added benefits such as vacation packages. over his 30 years with the walt disney company, baldwin held many roles, one of which was the worldwide director of the magic kingdom club. from 1978-1994 he ran the mkc, and spent most of his time in japan and europe over seeing the production of disneyland paris and disneyland tokyo. when he was not running the mkc, baldwin was also the publisher of disney magazine for quite some time. the very first issue of "disney news" was published in the winter of 1965. the 16 page print contained information on what was going on in the park, dates to visit, ticket prices, and special events for magic kingdom club members. the cover featured an image of walt disney surrounded by his famous characters including mickey mouse and minnie mouse. the whole gang is gathered in front of sleeping beauty’s castle at the disneyland resort in california. at the time, this was the only disney park in the world. this would turn out to be the only edition of the magazine with walt on the cover during his lifetime. walt passed away on december 15, 1966 due to lung cancer. his death came shortly after the plans for walt disney world in orlando, florida were announced. the magazine never announced a formal statement on disney's death. when disney decided to shut down the mkc in january 2001, the magazine continued, but circulation numbers began dropping. publication ended with the summer 2005 issue. subscribers were offered subscriptions to either "familyfun" or "disney adventures", or refunds. the magazine's website said the end was due to an increase of people choosing to find information on the internet, and thus lack of readership. in american football, a checkdown pass is when the quarterback attempts to complete a short, accurate pass to a running back or tight end as a last option when the wide receivers are covered. the term means that the quarterback has "checked down" his list of receivers. because the quarterback does not look for the checkdown pass until after they have scanned for open wide receivers down the field for about 3–4 seconds, the defensive line has had time to enter the backfield and so a checkdown pass is often thrown in the face of pressure from the defensive line. alternatively, if the quarterback is inexperienced or the defensive team has sent a blitz, with linebackers and/or defensive backs also looking to sack the quarterback, the checkdown may also turn out to be the quarterback's second or even first look. these plays often result in significant yardage gain, because most of the defensive players are either in the backfield in pursuit of the quarterback, or deeper in the secondary covering receivers. a screen pass and a checkdown are different. la chaise-dieu (auvergnat: "la chasa dieu") is a commune in the haute-loire department in south-central france. its inhabitants are called "casadéens", from the latin name of the city. la chaise-dieu occupies a 1082 m butte which dominates a plain between the mounts of livradois and velay. the closest cities are brioude, ambert, and le puy-en-velay. the senouire forms most of the commune's eastern and western borders. la chaise-dieu means "the house of god" in french (from the occitan "chasa dieu") and is a reference to the benedictine abbey which was founded on the site in 1043 by robert de turlande, a kinsman of gerald of aurillac and canon of saint julian's church at brioude, nearby. robert served an apprenticeship at cluny under abbot odilo, then served as abbot in the community he founded in the wilderness here, initially in the company of a repentant knight, stephen. the traditional date of the founding is 28 december 1043. the abbey had over 300 monks and 42 outlying priories depending on it when robert de turlande died, probably in 1067. after his death, robert was quickly canonized (1095) as saint robert de turlande (also known as saint robert of chaise-dieu). the chaise-dieu continued to grow throughout the middle ages, becoming the motherhouse of further congregations of black monks. pope clement vi began his vocation as a monk at chaise dieu and was the patron of the vast abbey church (built 1344–1350), a suitable setting for his tomb. the monks were driven out and the abbey secularized during the french revolution. clement's vast abbey church, his tomb and the abbey cloister remain. the fresco of the dance of death (ca 1470) is a famous example of this motif, which gained wide currency following the visitations of the black death. the partners of the figures are skeletons and the parade strictly follows precedence of contemporary society, with adam and eve preceding all: the pope then the emperor, the legate, the prince, the cardinal, the high constable, the patriarch, the knight, then the abbot, the townsman, the merchant, the lady, ending with the lawyer, the minstrel, the clerk, the ploughman, the monk, the innocent child and the pilgrim. between 1727 and 1740, the jansenist bishop jean soanen was exiled to the abbey. french pianist georges cziffra started an annual festival of sacred music in la chaise-dieu in 1966. "showdown with rance mcgrew" is episode 85 of the american television anthology series "the twilight zone". actor rance mcgrew, who stars in a tv series as the fictional heroic marshal of the same name, arrives late to shoot the final scenes of an episode in which his character pursues jesse james. according to the script, rance turns away from a seemingly beaten jesse, who then tries to shoot him in the back. the man playing jesse says jesse james fighting dishonorably is historically inaccurate, and asks permission to shout at rance before firing, but rance points out that shouting out a warning to a gunman who has already proven himself to be a better fighter makes no sense. suddenly, rance finds himself in a real old west saloon. the real jesse james walks in and says that he, billy the kid, and other famous outlaws are not pleased with the way that they are portrayed on mcgrew's show. he challenges rance to a fast draw showdown. rance is unwilling, realizing he has no chance against a real gunfighter, but jesse will not allow him to walk away. when the countdown finishes, rance struggles for several seconds to get his gun out of its holster, then unintentionally flings it in the air in his panic. as jesse aims his gun at rance's forehead, rance drops to his knees, pleading that he will do anything if jesse spares him. jesse accepts and disappears. rance finds himself back on the set, and his agent is announced. the agent turns out to be jesse james himself, in hollywood garb. he insists that the episode be revised so that instead of trying to shoot rance in the back, jesse james throws rance mcgrew out the saloon window and makes his escape. the scene is shot to jesse's satisfaction. as jesse drives rance back home, he goes over revisions to future episodes in which rance mcgrew fights jesse's afterlife buddies. "genesis" was a comic book crossover storyline published by dc comics that ran through a self-titled four-issue weekly miniseries and various tie-in issues, all cover-dated october 1997. the main miniseries was written by john byrne and drawn by ron wagner. the storyline revolves around the concept of the "godwave", an interstellar phenomenon created by the source that spread across the universe, creating gods on its first pass before reaching the edge of the universe and bouncing back, creating demigods and metahumans on its second pass. the godwave threatens reality when it reaches back to its starting point, altering or neutralizing the abilities of various metahumans and making ordinary humans feel like something is missing. the superheroes of earth and the new gods of new genesis battle darkseid to prevent him from accomplishing his plan to seize the power of the godwave. darkseid and his forces stage an invasion of earth before travelling to the source wall where they are confronted by the heroes.

"young heroes in love" #5 the marine corps marathon (mcm) is an annual marathon held in arlington, virginia and washington, dc. the mission of the mcm is to promote physical fitness, generate community goodwill, and showcase the organizational skills of the united states marine corps. the mcm was established in 1976 and is currently the fourth largest marathon in the united states and the ninth largest in the world. the event field of 30,000 is composed of runners from all 50 states, the district of columbia, and more than 50 countries. known as "the people's marathon," the mcm is open to all runners ages 14 and above and is the largest marathon that does not offer prize money. the event typically occurs on the final sunday in october, a few weeks before the united states marine corps birthday on november 10. the running of the 44th marine corps marathon will take place on october 27, 2019. the course, which varies slightly from year to year, is certified by usa track and field. the current route starts in arlington, virginia, on route 110 and winds its way through rosslyn along lee highway before turning on spout run and the george washington memorial parkway. runners experience a climb on lee highway in the first few miles of the course, but are rewarded with a descent along spout run and the parkway. after crossing key bridge into georgetown, runners used to turn toward the palisades community when the course followed canal road, up to the reservoir and down macarthur boulevard. however, the new course guides runners down popular m street in georgetown. runners turn on wisconsin avenue and then k street before looping under k street onto rock creek parkway. the course proceeds approximately 2.5 miles north on rock creek parkway before turning back, then passing the kennedy center. runners then pass the back of the lincoln memorial before continuing on ohio drive into hains point at the halfway point. outside west potomac park, runners get a glimpse of the jefferson memorial and tidal basin. on independence avenue, competitors run by the newly unveiled martin luther king, jr. national memorial and fdr memorial. the runners loop back along independence avenue on the side closest to the national mall and the korean war veterans memorial and national world war ii memorial before making a left turn onto 15th street at the washington monument. at madison drive, runners pass the north side of the national mall, running by the smithsonian institution's national museum of american history and the national gallery of art. after a loop around the reflecting pool in front of the u.s. capitol, runners continue along the south side of the national mall past the smithsonian castle. runners move along jefferson drive and turn onto the 14th street to marathon's "beat the bridge" checkpoint at mile 20 before returning to virginia. for the last 10k, runners enjoy the color and energy of crystal city. at the pentagon, runners pass in close proximity to the pentagon memorial honoring the victims of 9/11. finally, the course unfurls alongside the arlington national cemetery then offers a final, up-hill challenge to the finish at the marine corps war memorial. this finish has remained unchanged since the inaugural running of the mcm in 1976. on october 17, 1975, mcm founder colonel james l. fowler wrote a memo to his supervisor, major general michael p. ryan, outlining his idea of creating a marine corps reserve marathon to promote goodwill between the military and the post-vietnam community. colonel fowler believed an event like this would showcase the marine corps, serve as a recruiting tool, and give local marines an opportunity to qualify for the boston marathon. the marathon also serves as a way to raise money for a wide variety of charities. general ryan embraced the idea of a marine marathon and submitted it to then marine corps commandant general louis h. wilson jr. for approval. with general wilson's backing, the planning process for the first mcm began. with news of the inaugural marathon quickly spreading, gunnery sergeant alex breckenridge, a member of the 1960 olympic marathon team, soon lent his support. with gunnery sergeant breckenridge acting as an ambassador for the marathon effort, local jurisdictions approved of the event. through the efforts of the marathon coordinators and with support from secretary of the navy, j. william middendorf, the inaugural running of the mcm was held on november 7, 1976. the 1,175 participants ran a course through northern virginia and finished at the marine corps war memorial, becoming the first of thousands of mcm runners over a span of 38 years to take the final hill and finish at the iwo jima memorial. kenneth moore of eugene, oregon, finished the inaugural event with a time of 2:21:14, becoming the first mcm winner. he was awarded a trophy—provided by secretary middendorf—for his achievement. marathon organizers examined the course for the 1977 mcm and secured permits to run through washington, d.c. the new route laid the foundation for the scenic course in place today, starting in arlington, virginia, winding its way around key landmarks in the nation's capital, and returning for the traditional finish at the marine corps war memorial. with changes to the course and a surge of positive publicity from the first running, the second mcm drew a field of 2,655 runners. participation in the mcm steadily increased over the next few years, resulting in a transfer of race coordination from the marine corps reserve to active-duty marines at marine barracks, washington, d.c.. shortly thereafter, even more growth necessitated a move south to marine corps base quantico in 1982, where the mcm headquarters remains today. over the years, the mcm has evolved into a premier running event while remaining true to its roots. today, 30 full-time staff members and more than 2,000 marines, sailors and civilian volunteers work to ensure the mcm mission is carried out as its founders intended. additions to mcm weekend include the mcm10k, starting at the national mall and finishing at the iwo jima monument; the mcm kids run, a event held one day prior to the mcm; and the mcm forward, where marines stationed throughout the world participate in a satellite run simultaneously with the mcm. the mcm and all associated events continue to promote physical fitness, generate community goodwill and showcase the organizational skills of the united states marine corps. in 2006, the marine corps marathon introduced the mcm10k, a run starting at the national mall in washington, dc. the mcm10k and mcm begin simultaneously with mcm10k runners joining the final leg of the marathon course, sharing in the iconic finish up the hill to the marine corps war memorial. since its inception, the mcm10k has steadily increased in popularity. in 2012, the event sold out with 10,000 registered runners. in 2011 a new mcm10k course record was set by reuben mwei, a native of kenya residing in acworth, ga. his finishing time of 00:30:37 crushed the previous record of 00:32:54 set by wyatt boyd of washington, dc, in 2009. runners celebrate mcm and mcm10k finishes in the post-event finish festival located in rosslyn, va. runners, spectators, and the community are welcome to enjoy food, including a restaurant row that includes several rosslyn eateries, live music, sponsor displays, entertainment and giveaways. essential runner services are also located in the finish festival, to include family link up, info/medical tent, massage, ups baggage claim, and the michelob ultra beer garden. transportation from the finish festival includes shuttles to crystal city, metro access at the rosslyn station and taxi service. the mcm kids run is a event held annually the day before the mcm. children ages 5 through 12 are eligible to participate in the fun run located in the pentagon north parking lot. once children have completed the run, they can visit camp miles, a festival area with healthy activities and games promoting physical fitness. school groups participating in the mcm kids run compete for a healthy school award. this award is based on student participation and is awarded to the top five schools with the most runners. winning schools receive a donation to their physical education department presented by mcm partner sodexo. all registered mcm, mcm10k, and mcm kids run participants must attend packet pick up at the mcm health and fitness expo. held in the two days prior to the mcm, the health and fitness expo features more than 200 booths and interactive displays for runner enjoyment. supported by nearly 300 military and civilian volunteers, the expo attracts nearly 100,000 runners and guests. held annually on the eve of the marine corps marathon, the carbo dining in serves up last minute inspiration and excitement as well as carbohydrate fuel for mcm morning. held at the headquarters hotel, the gaylord national resort and convention center, the dinner welcomes world class speakers and marine corps - style entertainment. the unique name - carbo dining in - separates it from other pasta parties and carb loads by paying homage to a traditional military dining in, an evening that includes dinner and other events to foster camaraderie and esprit de corps. the evening program offers music, live entertainment and a featured speaker. previous motivational addresses have been provided by robert swan, obe, dave mcgillivary, kathrine switzer, larry rawson, deena kastor and roger robinson. add in appearances by miles and molly, the mcm bulldog mascots, amazing prize giveaways, and the camaraderie of fellow runners, this becomes the perfect way to prepare for "the people's marathon." introduced in 2010, the mcm pep rally is open to all marathon runners. the evening offers the chance for runners to receive last-minute information and inspiration from an expert panel of runners, coaches, clif pace team leaders, brooks consultants, and mcm staff members, among others. the evening celebrates the achievements of every marathoner with music, cheerleaders, activities, and prize giveaways. first time runners are also presented the coveted mcm first-timer pin. among the more notable finishers are; the marine corps historic half (mchh), held in fredericksburg, va, takes participants on a journey from the retail hub of central park through historic downtown streets, up hospital hill, and back to waiting marines at the finish line. held annually in may and open to ages 10 and up, the event boasts a field of 8,000 runners. the historic half also offers the semper 5ive, a five mile event open to 2,000 participants. new in 2017 is the

march 1948 – 2 march 2003) was a pioneer in the development of digital sound. as a teenager in the 1960s, ingebretsen built robots and primitive computers that could talk. as a university of utah graduate student in the early 1970s, ingebretsen assisted dr. thomas g. stockham in the development of stockham's restoration technique for sound and images. this work led to rca's caruso-a legendary performer that applied stockham's restoration techniques to acoustic recordings of opera great enrico caruso. ingebretsen worked with pixar co-founder ed catmull in 1972 to produce one of the first digital films, a 20-second portrait of a human hand. after graduation in 1975, ingebretsen joined stockham at soundstream inc., a utah company where ingebretsen wrote the software for the first practical digital audio editing system. soundstream briefly operated an editing studio at a paramount pictures studio lot in los angeles. ingebretsen commuted from utah to los angeles, where he supervised the new digital recording for the 1982 re-release of disney’s "fantasia". soundstream dissolved in 1985 and ingebretsen spent the next 15 years in near anonymity in salt lake city, founding a series of small high-tech companies. in 1999 stockham and ingebretsen received a scientific and engineering award from the academy of motion picture arts and sciences for their pioneering work in digital audio editing. ingebretsen also helped pioneer satellite communications technology. in recent years, he worked for a centerville-based startup that develops software for hand-held computers. on 2 march 2003 ingebretsen died of heart failure at the age of 54 at his salt lake city home. in gridiron football, the long snapper (or deep snapper) is a special teams specialist whose duty is to snap the football over a longer distance, typically around 15 yards during punts, and 7–8 yards during field goals and extra point attempts. during field goal and point after touchdown attempts, the snap is received by the holder, typically 7–8 yards away. during punts, the snap is delivered to the punter from 13–15 yards away. following a punt snap, the snapper often executes a blocking assignment and then must cover the kick by running downfield and attempting to stop the opposing team's punt returner from advancing the ball in the opposite direction. if the punt goes uncaught, it is the snapper's responsibility to make sure the ball does not enter the end zone or bounce backward resulting in loss of yards. the majority of snappers at the highest levels of competition are specialized, meaning that they uniquely play the position of snapper, or have limited responsibilities elsewhere. a good punt snap should hit the target -- the punter's hands at the abdomen or waistline -- between .65 and .75 seconds and with a tight spiral for easy handling. a "bad snap" is an off-target snap which causes the delay or failure of a kick or forces the punter into some other potentially compromising situation. college rules are such that any of the 11 players on the punting team are allowed to proceed downfield at any time once the play has begun (unlike the nfl where only 2 players, the left and right gunners, are allowed to pass the line of scrimmage before the ball has been kicked). this results in many teams employing a "spread punt" or "rugby-style" scheme designed to maximize downfield coverage and limit returners from making larger gains the other way after receiving the ball. also in the ncaa, defensive players who play opposite of the long snapper are not allowed to initiate contact with the long snapper until 1 second after the ball has been snapped. unlike college, nfl rules do not provide for a set period of time after the snap before the long snapper can be engaged by the defense. however, no defensive player can line up directly in front of the long snapper when the offense is in a kick formation. officials generally enforce this rule through verbal admonishment to an offending player prior to the snap. if the defensive lineman moves into a legal position before the snap, no penalty flag. before specialization, the long snapper often was a player who primarily played another position, mostly assumed to be backup centers because they perform regular snap duties to quarterbacks, and also to quarterbacks positioned further out in a shotgun formation. however, a recent example would be allen aldridge, who started at linebacker for the detroit lions and also served as the team's long snapper. this allowed the team to dress another non-specialist player. now, every team in the nfl has a specialized long snapper. long snappers are usually amongst the least-known players in the nfl, because of their highly specialized and relatively invisible role on the field. they are also, in general not drafted, rarely appear on trading cards, and normally are acquired as undrafted free agents, with a few exceptions: despite their anonymity, a team lacking a skilled long snapper can be seriously undermined. a famous example of this was on january 5, 2003 during the 2002 wild card playoff game between the san francisco 49ers and new york giants. during the regular season, the giants suffered missed field goals due to the lack of an experienced long snapper, and signed trey junkin out of retirement to be the snapper for the playoff game. junkin botched a snap on a field goal attempt that could have won the game for the giants, who had led 38–14 at one point in the game. brad st. louis of the cincinnati bengals was another long snapper who, besides having already botched two snaps in clutch situations in 2005 (wild card play-off game against the eventual champions pittsburgh steelers) and 2006, gained even bigger notoriety in 2009, when he delivered five bad snaps on either field goal or extra point attempts (leading to missed, aborted or blocked kicks) in the first five games of the season, which led to the then ten-year veteran being released from the team. in 2008, it was the pittsburgh steelers that had long snapper problems. during an october 26, 2008 game against the new york giants, the team's regular long snapper, greg warren, was injured with what was eventually revealed to be a season-ending torn acl. linebacker james harrison, who had served in 2003 as the long snapper for the rhein fire of nfl europe, volunteered to replace warren. in the fourth quarter, harrison's first and only snap sailed over punter mitch berger's head and through the end zone for a safety. this tied the score and gave the giants good field position on the ensuing kick, resulting in the go-ahead touchdown late in the game. warren sustained a second acl tear in december 2009, though this occurred on the last play of a december 20 game against the green bay packers, giving the steelers adequate time to sign replacement jared retkofsky, who had also been signed to replace warren after his injury in 2008. in 2012, raiders' long snapper jon condo was injured and was backed up by travis goethel, a linebacker for a game against the san diego chargers. on two occasions during the game, punter shane lechler was unable to handle snaps that had bounced prior to reaching him. on another attempt, lechler took his position much closer to the line of scrimmage than is normal for a punter, so as to decrease the distance goethel needed to accurately snap the ball. though the snap was adequate, the decreased distance resulted in a blocked punt. stone sculptor gedion nyanhongo was born into an artistic family on 22 december 1967 in nyanga, zimbabwe. he was influenced from a young age by his father, claud nyanhongo, a prominent artist among the "first generation" sculptors (the pioneers of the shona sculpture movement that began in the late 1950s). "i used to watch my father sculpt when i grew up, and although i was young, i remember loving it and knowing that it was what i wanted to do." after an apprenticeship with the internationally acclaimed sculptor joseph ndandarika (a friend of his father), gedion embarked on a solo career in 1988. his debut exhibition was in 1989 at the mabwe gallery in harare, zimbabwe. gedion has since exhibited his works in solo and group exhibitions at numerous venues around the world, including: england, france, germany, holland, hong kong, south africa, u.s.a, and zimbabwe. two of his works are featured in on permanent display at the hartsfield-jackson atlanta international airport, and a zebra in the phoenix zoo. nyanhongo's sister agnes is also a sculptor. mark summer was the turtle island quartet's original cellist; he is a co-founder of the quartet and performed with turtle island (a.k.a. turtle island string quartet) from its founding in 1985 until the fall of 2015. born on april 3, 1958 in encino, ca, summer grew up in los angeles, california playing piano, guitar and, from the age of nine, cello. from the beginning he was very interested in alternative genres, and as a teenager playing in a rock band called the purple testament, later known as the plague. summer studied cello with edwin geber of the los angeles philharmonic, then with geber’s wife gretchen geber, and graduated from the cleveland institute of music, continuing his studies with the geber family with stephen geber as a cello performance major. after conservatory, summer worked in the winnipeg symphony orchestra for three years. looking for alternative genres, he went on to play in an assortment of alternative ensembles until, in winnipeg, he met the violinist darol anger. shortly after, he was invited by david balakrishnan and anger to join turtle island, and moved to the san francisco bay area in 1985 to perform permanently with the band. summer left the band in 2015 to pursue a solo career. in 2011, summer made his solo concerto debut with the alexandria symphony, performing balakrishnan's "force of nature", written especially for him. he has lived in the town of novato, outside of san francisco since 2009. besides the turtle island quartet, which has released fifteen albums, summer has played with many other crossover artists. he was a member of the jazz chamber trio with the pianist alon yavnai and the grammy-winning clarinetist paquito d'rivera which played primarily latin jazz. he has also composed pieces for solo cello, including "kalimba" and "julie-o", (both the solo and duo versions), the last of which has become very popular among cellists and was included in a 2015 advertising campaign for the apple watch. he has also arranged pieces for solo cello including "lo, how a rose e'er blooming" and jimi hendrix's "little wing". he currently performs in a trio with 7 time grammy winning jazz vocalist tierney sutton and is featured on 4 tracks of ms. sutton's grammy nominated recording, "afterblue". the kunama are a nilotic ethnic group inhabiting eritrea and ethiopia. although they are one of the smallest populations in eritrea, constituting only 2% of the population, 80% of kunama live in the country. most of the estimated 100,000 kunama live in the remote and isolated area between the gash and setit rivers near the border with ethiopia. the ethiopian-eritrean war (1998–2000) forced some 4,000 kunama to flee their homes to ethiopia. as refugees they reside in the tense area just over the border with eritrea and in proximity to the contested border village of badme. in the 2007 ethiopian census, however, the number of kunama in tigray has dropped to 2,976 as the remaining 2,000 or so members of this ethnic group have migrated into the other regions of ethiopia. the kunama speak the kunama language. it belongs to the nilo-saharan family, and is closely related to the nara language. although some kunama still practice traditional beliefs, most have adopted christianity and islam. the fertile plains of the gash-setit, also known as the gash-barka, region where the kunama live are sometimes referred to as the "breadbasket of eritrea". formerly nomadic, today they are farmers and pastoralists. historically, the kunama have been dominated by other ethnic groups and they are often forced from their traditional lands. the official policy of the government of eritrea is that all land is state property and the government encourages large commercial farms. they are the only nilotic group whose traditional territory straddles two horner nations, ethiopia and eritrea. award-winning documentary film "home across lands" chronicles the journey of newly arrived kunama refugees as they strive to become self-reliant, invested participants in their new home. guiding their transition is the resettlement agency, international institute of rhode island, that connects them to the resources they need as they work to establish a new community and better life for their families. analysis of classic genetic markers and dna polymorphisms by excoffier et al. (1987) found that the kunama are most closely related to the sara people of chad. both populations speak languages from the nilo-saharan family. they are also similar to west african populations, but biologically distinct from the surrounding cushitic and ethiopian semitic afro-asiatic-speaking groups. according to trombetta et al. (2015), around 65% of kunama are carriers of the e1b1b paternal haplogroup. of these, 20% bear the v32 subclade, to which belong 60% of the tigre semitic speakers in eritrea. this points to substantial gene flow from neighbouring afro-asiatic-speaking males into the kunama's ancestral nilotic community. cruciani et al. (2010) observed that the remaining kunama individuals are primarily carriers of the a (10%) and b (15%) lineages, which are instead common among nilotes. wood warping is a deviation from flatness in timber as a result of stresses and uneven shrinkage. warping can also occur in wood considered "dry" (wood can take up and release moisture indefinitely), when it takes up moisture unevenly, or – especially – is allowed to return to its "dry" equilibrium state unevenly, too slowly, or too quickly. many factors can contribute to wood warp: wood species, grain orientation, air flow, sunlight, uneven finishing, temperature – even cutting season and the moon's gravitational pull are taken into account in some traditions (e.g., violin making). the types of wood warping include: wood warping costs the wood industry in the u.s. millions of dollars per year. straight wood boards that leave a cutting facility sometimes arrive at the store yard warped. this little understood process is finally being looked at in a serious way. although wood warping has been studied for years, the warping control model for manufacturing composite wood hasn't been updated for about 40 years. a researcher at texas a&m university in zhiyong cai has researched wood warping and was working on a computer software program in 2003 to help manufacturers make changes in the manufacturing process so that wood doesn't arrive at its destination warped after it leaves the mill or factory. brain donors (1992) is an american comedy film released by paramount pictures, loosely based on the marx brothers comedies "a night at the opera" and "a day at the races" (the first two films the marx brothers did after leaving paramount). the film co-stars john turturro, mel smith, and bob nelson in the approximations of the groucho, chico, and harpo roles, with nancy marchand in the margaret dumont dowager role. the project was filmed as "lame ducks"; however, when the film's producers (david and jerry zucker) left for another studio, paramount scrapped the publicity campaign, changed the title, and withdrew the film after its initial screenings. "brain donors" attracted attention on the home video market, which has resulted in a cult following according to its screenwriter, pat proft. after the death of tycoon and philanthropist oscar winterhaven oglethorpe, a ballet company is founded in his name by his widow, lillian (nancy marchand). ambulance-chasing attorney roland t. flakfizer (john turturro) competes against oglethorpe's former attorney, edmund lazlo (john savident), to be director of the company. lazlo is chosen for the position after signing the greatest ballet dancer in the world, roberto "the great” volare (george de la pena). flakfizer — with assistance from his two associates rocco (mel smith) and jacques (bob nelson) — earns a spot as co-director by wooing the wealthy widow and by signing the company's leading ballerina (juliana donald, billed as juli donald) and her dancer boyfriend alan grant (spike alexander). the ensuing struggle between flakfizer and lazlo leads to comic hijinks, including a badger game involving a chorus girl (teri copley), and an opening-night performance ludicrously sabotaged by flakfizer and his cohorts. richard harrington in his review for "the washington post" wrote, "it's all very busy, and in zucker style there seem to be 10 jokes per minute, but most fly fast and fall flat." mick lasalle of the "san francisco chronicle" felt that the film was "an audacious attempt actually to make them like they used to - with no apologies, no nostalgia. it's no masterpiece, but neither was every marx brothers movie." in her review for "the new york times", janet maslin wrote, ""brain donors" will stop at very little to get its laughs, and mr. turturro has just the right silliness for the occasion." the ice harvest is a 2005 american black comedy film directed by harold ramis and written by richard russo and robert benton, based on the novel of the same name by scott phillips. it stars john cusack, billy bob thornton, and connie nielsen, with randy quaid and oliver platt in supporting roles. it was distributed by focus features, and it was released on vhs and dvd on february 28, 2006, making it the last focus features film released on vhs format. "the ice harvest" grossed $10.2 million worldwide. the rotten tomatoes critical consensus says that it should have been funnier. on christmas eve in wichita, kansas, mob lawyer charlie arglist (cusack) and crooked businessman and pornographer vic cavanaugh (thornton), gather together $2 million they have stolen from their boss, mobster bill guerrard (quaid). while it initially appears that there will be an easy getaway for the pair, they learn that the roads out of the city are too icy to drive on. vic takes the cash for safe-keeping and they split up and try their best to evade being captured by guerrard and his men, who have discovered their scheme. charlie visits sweet cakes, a local strip-club owned by vic and run by renata crest, a woman whom charlie has long lusted after. she quickly deciphers that he's hiding something. he hints at the existence of the money, and she suggests they run away together. before they can do that however, she asks charlie to steal an incriminating picture of herself and a local politician from vic. after talking to his friend sidney, a bouncer at sweet cakes, charlie goes to another strip club owned by vic, and takes the photo from a safe. before he can leave, roy gelles, one of guerrards enforcers, arrives looking for charlie. charlie hides in the men's restroom as gelles enters. roy reads aloud a limerick written in red marker on the wall above the urinal. after evading gelles, charlie goes to a local restaurant/bar and runs into his friend pete, who is married to charlie's ex-wife sarabeth. pete is very drunk, and decides to tag along with charlie for as long as it takes to pass out. charlie calls vic from a pay phone, noticing the same limerick in red marker above the phone. he frantically tells vic that gelles is in town, but vic dismisses this news, saying that gelles has family in wichita. charlie goes back to renata and gives her the photo, and she tells him that vic had called her earlier and said that charlie had been right about mob enforcer roy gelles tailing them. charlie takes pete home after he vomits in charlie's car, leaving him passed out on the floor of his living room. charlie then "borrows" a mercedes benz that pete had bought for sarabeth, and goes to vic's house. he finds vic's wife dead from a gunshot wound to her head. vic arrives and reveals that he's locked roy in an industrial clothes trunk. the two stuff roy and vic's dead wife into the trunk of charlie's "borrowed" mercedes and head for a local lake. on the way, roy continues yelling at the two of them, claiming that it was vic who shot his wife. vic gets annoyed and shoots a hole in the trunk, silencing roy. charlie and vic get the trunk down to the lake dock, but it's shot open from the inside by gelles, with vic being shot in the process. after gelles gets out of the trunk a shootout ensues, ending with roy dead and vic falling into the frozen lake when the dock collapses. charlie realizes that vic was going to kill him and take the money for himself, so he leaves vic to die. charlie drags vic's wife to the collapsed dock and slides her into the lake, knocking a pleading vic underwater. charlie opens vic's suit case expecting to find the stolen money, only to see vic's clothes. he realizes that without vic, he will probably never find the money. charlie runs back to the dock to save vic, but it is too late. vic has already drowned in the freezing water, with his wife's arms draped around him. returning to sweet cakes, charlie finds that bill guerrard himself has come to town, and he has tied renata to a desk chair. charlie finds a shotgun in the bar and turns it on guerrard. another shootout ensues, but the shotgun is loaded with small caliber shot, which only maims guerrard, giving him the opportunity to stab charlie in the foot. renata distracts guerrard long enough for charlie to reload and finally kill him. charlie and renata go back to her house, where charlie finds the money hidden there while renata takes a shower. it's revealed via flashbacks that vic and renata were planning to run away together after vic had killed charlie. charlie shoots renata just before she can kill him with a hidden straight razor. as charlie is driving out of town with the stolen millions, he sees sidney on the side of the road with his kids in a motor home. charlie stops to offer assistance. sidney says that he is out of gas, so charlie lets him syphon some gasoline out of his car. as sidney is trying to start the motor home, charlie takes out a red sharpie and writes the limerick "as wichita falls, so falls wichita falls" on the back of the rv, revealing that it was charlie who had been writing it all over town. sidney gets the motor home started, accidentally knocks charlie down, and drives away. charlie gets up and returns to the "borrowed" mercedes. pete wakes up in the back seat, and the duo drive away together for warmer weather. frequent harold ramis collaborator bill murray was reportedly offered a role. monica bellucci was originally set to play the role of renata, but had to leave due to her pregnancy. ramis almost had to close production for a day due to the weather, which would have spoiled his tradition of never losing a shooting day. filming took place in the suburbs of chicago. the dvd 'extras' consist of: "the ice harvest" opened in 1,550 theaters in north america and grossed $3.7 million, averaging $2,413 per theater and ranking 10th at the box office. the film ultimately earned $9 million in the us and $1.1 million internationally for a total of $10.2 million. the film has a rating of 45% on rotten tomatoes based on 130 reviews and an average rating of 5.5 out of 10. the consensus states: ""the ice harvest" offers a couple of laughs, but considering the people involved, it should be a lot funnier." james berardinelli of "reelviews" gave the film 2 and a half stars out of four, saying, "despite its brevity, it seems padded, with all sorts of irrelevant scenes and dead-end subplots taking up time. [...] next time, ramis should work to his strengths, and film noir isn't one of them. the ice harvest will have melted away long before the turkey leftovers are polished off." roger ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and said: "i liked the movie for the quirky way it pursues humor through the drifts of greed, lust, booze, betrayal and spectacularly complicated ways to die. i liked it for charlie's essential kindness, as when he pauses during a getaway to help a friend who has run out of gas. and for the scene-stealing pathos of oliver platt's drunk, who like many drunks in the legal profession achieves a rhetorical grandiosity during the final approach to oblivion. and i liked especially the way roy, the man in the trunk, keeps on thinking positively, even after vic puts bullets through both ends of the trunk because he can't remember which end of the trunk roy's head is at. maybe it's in the middle." the film was released on both dvd and vhs on february 28, 2006 by universal home entertainment. the libertarian party of new york (lpny) (also known as the free libertarian party of new york) is a ballot-access qualified party in the united states active in the state of new york. it is the recognized affiliate of the national libertarian party. the libertarian party of new york is dedicated to the principle that free people have the right to do anything they please, except to initiate force, the threat of force, or fraud, against other persons or their property. the libertarian party was founded in 1971 on the libertarian principle: that people should be free to do whatever they wish, except to initiate force, the threat of force, or fraud against others or their property. the principle does not preclude retaliatory force, as in the redress of wrongs through courts, and as in the traditional common law of self-defense. national libertarian party members, including the new york members, have paid $25 per year, and have as a condition of membership signified: "i certify that i do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force as a means of achieving political or social goals." the libertarian party of new york was founded as an unregistered political party in 1970 by paul and michael gilson who became its first people in public office the next year on election to a zoning board in upstate new york. it helped drive the creation of a national party, and was re-organized in 1972 by a group now centered around ed clark, later the libertarian party presidential candidate. its name was changed to the "free libertarian party" when the new york board of elections ruled that the name libertarian party would confuse voters with the liberal party of new york. however, the board of elections eventually allowed the name "libertarian party" to be used. the statue of liberty is their ballot symbol, and they now appear on the ballot as the libertarian party. since 1974, the libertarian party of new york has had a candidate for governor of new york on the ballot every four years except for 1986, the only party in new york state without official ballot status up to that point to do so. several other minor parties in new york have achieved ballot status through electoral fusion, endorsing the candidate of a major party. the libertarian party of new york declined to achieve ballot status by this means, although republican william weld flirted with the lpny gubernatorial nomination in 2006. in 2018, larry sharpe, the libertarian party nominee for governor that year, finished with over 90,000 votes, the most in the state party's history for a gubernatorial candidate. by surpassing 50,000 votes, the libertarian party achieved qualified party status, and thus automatic ballot access, for the first time in its history. the party's membership jumped 25 percent after the qualification. after it first received write-in votes in 1972 for presidential candidate john hospers and vice presidential candidate tonie nathan (the first female candidate for vice president to receive an electoral vote), the lpny has obtained at least 15,000 petition signatures and placed statewide candidates on the ballot in every statewide election between 1974 and 2016, except 1986. these signatures were, by law, collected in a six-week period in mid-july to august (except in 1994, see "schulz v. williams", 44 f.3d 48 (2d cir. 1994)). in the gubernatorial elections, libertarian candidates included a full slate of the possible statewide candidates: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, and, when one is up for election: senator. in the presidential races, candidates included the full number of electors for president and vice president, and when one is up for election, senator. this regular achievement of statewide ballot status by a full slate of candidates for 42 years indicates substantial support in new york state. nationally, the libertarian party has 208,456 voters registered by the respective state boards of election. the officers of the libertarian party of new york are elected annually. in 2018, the party become a ballot-recognized party, and a political entity was created that is recognized under election law. therefore, the party is current going through a transition as it works to restructure. the officers of both entities are listed. the officers of the corporation were elected on may 4, 2019. the officers of the interim state committee were elected on february 9, 2019. the libertarian party of new york contains local chapter affiliates, each of which is administered by its own local libertarian party; after having attained nys party status, all affiliate chapters must be associated with a respective county by 2020. chapter officers are elected annually at their own conventions and serve alongside their state counterparts during the year. the chairman of each county chapter is usually the state representative for the county. occasionally, local chapters may choose to appoint or elect a state representative to the lpny. the manhattan libertarian party (mlp) is a chapter of the libertarian party of new york established in 2000. the manhattan lp was the host chapter of the 2012 libertarian party of new york convention, held january 21, 2012. the convention was attended by several candidates seeking the national libertarian party's presidential nomination, including former new mexico governor gary johnson and new york attorney carl e. person. sam sloan and the manhattan madam kristin m. davis both sought the libertarian party nomination for governor of new york state. andrew clunn sought to be nominated for lieutenant governor, carl person sought the nomination for attorney general. john clifton sought the nomination for us senate, and michel faulkner sought the nomination for us congress from the 15th congressional district previously held by charles rangel. the libertarian party of queens county, formerly known as the "queens libertarian party" led by tom stevens (politician), is the local affiliate of the lpny for the queens county-borough in the city of new york. the chapter was known for whipping up candidates for public office until 2010 when blay tarnoff hijacked the party and passed a surprise motion to decertify the chapter. in december 2016, the lpny state committee voted to de-charter the chapter. shortly thereafter, a small group of former democrats and two former republicans chartered the chapter under a new name. the "libertarian party of queens county", or lpqc for short, was chaired by elliot axelman for its first 8 months. axelman is a radio host, certified paramedic and former lieutenant for whitestone volunteer ambulance corps. in october 2017, axelman resigned following a move to new hampshire. his vice chair, christopher fuentes-padilla, took over until november 19th, 2017. the queens chapter is the first chapter in the history of the lpny to elect a chair under the age of 24. on november 20th, 2017 christopher fuentes-padilla, the former vice chair, was sworn in as chairman at age 20. padilla is also the first hispanic to hold the office in queens and the first puerto rican male to hold office in the lpny. the suffolk county libertarian party (formerly "sclo") is a chapter of the libertarian party of new york established in 1974. as of july 12, 2019: james ole davidson (february 10, 1854december 16, 1922) was an american merchant and politician in wisconsin. he served as lieutenant governor of wisconsin and the 21st governor of the u.s. state of wisconsin. davidson was born in årdal, sogn og fjordane county, norway and immigrated in 1872 to the united states when he was 18 years old. in boscobel, wisconsin he worked as a farmhand and as a tailor. davidson began a successful mercantile business and established his own tailor business in soldiers grove, wisconsin. he held several political positions in wisconsin, and was twice elected village president in soldiers grove. elected the 19th lieutenant governor of wisconsin alongside governor robert m. la follette, sr., davidson served until january 1, 1906, when la follette resigned to join the united states senate, making davidson acting governor. he was elected governor in 1906 and reelected in 1908. he served from january 4, 1906 to january 3, 1911; and during his tenure, state regulation of the railroads was extended to include public utilities, telegraph, telephone, electricity, water companies, and the insurance industry. after retiring from office, he was appointed by his gubernatorial successor to a five-year term as president of the state board of control. davidson died in madison, wisconsin on december 16, 1922 (age 68 years, 309 days), due to pneumonia and heart complications. he is interred at forest hill cemetery, madison, dane county, wisconsin. davidson was the son of ole davidson and ingabor (jenson) davidson. on february 19, 1883 davidson married helen bliss and they had two daughters, mabel elsie and grace. the supreme court of the united states is the highest ranking judicial body in the united states. established by article iii of the constitution, the detailed structure of the court was laid down by the 1st united states congress in 1789. congress, through the judiciary act of 1789, specified the court's original and appellate jurisdiction, created 13 judicial districts, and fixed the initial size of the supreme court at six members. the number of justices on the court changed several times over the ensuing 80 years. the judiciary act of 1801 would have reduced the court's size to five members upon its next vacancy. however, the judiciary act of 1802 promptly restored the court's size to six members before any such vacancy occurred. the seventh circuit act increased their number by one in 1807, and the eighth and ninth circuits act set the court's size at nine in 1837. the 1863 tenth circuit act added a tenth justice. however, the judicial circuits act of 1866 eliminated the seat then vacant after the death of john catron, and provided that two more would be eliminated as they became vacant. one more was eliminated at the death of james moore wayne in 1867, leaving the court with eight justices. the judiciary act of 1869 prevented the eighth seat from being eliminated and created one additional seat by setting the total number of seats at nine, where it has stood ever since. note that associate justices are listed, from left to right, in order of seniority. urban studies is based on the study of the urban development of cities. this includes studying the history of city development from an architectural point of view, to the impact of urban design on community development efforts. the core theoretical and methodological concerns of the urban studies field come from the social science disciplines of history, economics, sociology, geography, political science, anthropology, and the professional fields of urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. urban studies helps with the understanding of human values, development, and the interactions they have with their physical environment. the field originated primarily from the united kingdom and the united states, and has spread to research how international cities apply this research. the study of cities has changed dramatically from the 1800s over time, with new frames of analysis being applied to the development of urban areas. the first college programs were created to observe how cities were developed based on anthropological research of ghetto communities. in the mid-1900's, urban study programs expanded beyond just looking at the current and historical impacts of city design and began studying how those designs impacted the future interactions of people and how to improve city development through architecture, open spaces, the interactions of people, and different types of capital that forms a community. urban history plays an important role in this field of study because it reveals how cities have developed previously. history plays a large role in determining how cities will change in the future. such areas change continuously as part of larger processes and create new histories that researchers study on both large-scale and individual levels. overall, three different themes have influenced how researchers have and will continue to study urban areas: scholars have also researched how cities outside of the united kingdom and the united states have developed, but only to a limited degree. urban history previously focused mostly on how european and american cities developed over time, instead of focusing on how non-european cities developed. additional geographic areas researched in this field include south africa, australia, latin america, and india. this is changing as more research is performed in developing economies, leading to more contextual urban and infrastructural development in various parts of the world. the racial segregation of urban residents in the united states has played an important role in developing this field. one program founded to research african-american urban residents, the harvard-mit joint center for urban studies, was founded in 1959 to study residential segregation and to support affected communities. more recently, studies related to race and urban life started to focus on ethnographic methods to study how individuals lived in relation to the city and their respective systems as a whole. israel zangwill wrote one of the first books on the ghettos of europe and how they impacted the jewish children that were descendants of the original residents, "children of the ghetto" "(1892)," he also wrote two other books about the european ghettos. louis wirth was the next scholar to write about the ghettos, he wrote about them from a sociological perspective. louis wirth and roberts ezra park also became the first sociologists to publish about the immigrant neighborhoods in america with suggestions on their future design. roberts ezra park was the student of george zimmel in chicago. other famous scholars that studied segregation, american ghettos, and impoverished neighborhoods include du bois (1903), haynes (1913), johnson (1943), horace cayton (1944), kenneth clark (1965), william julius wilson (1987). this field is transdisciplinary because it uses theories from a variety of academic fields and places them within an urban context. a wide variety of academic fields refers to the urban environment as a location studied, such as environmental studies, economics, geography, public health, and sociology. however, scholars in this field research how specific elements contribute to how the city operates, such as how housing and transportation will change. in addition, researchers also study how residents interact within the city, such as how race and gender differences lead to social inequalities, or concentrated disadvantage in urban areas. in the united states, race has heavily impacted where african-americans live. black power movements, particularly the student nonviolent coordinating committee, have criticized how the harvard-mit joint center for urban studies researched the african-american urban population but did not understand the community's needs. researchers also struggle with how terms are created and used both inside and outside the field. researchers even struggle how to define basic terms precisely, such as how a city is defined, due to how the roles of cities change. researchers must be careful in how they describe urban areas, as their work can be manipulated as positive elements for city boosters wanting to promote a specific city. the sims resource (often referred to as simply tsr) is a sims custom content( also known as “cc” ) site offering custom content for all sims games which can be downloaded with the intent to

united states. the organization works to rescue all members of the reptile family, including snakes, turtles, tortoises, lizards, alligators and crocodiles. founded in 1978, the organization also educates the public about reptiles through outreach programs, including offering lectures in educational settings such as libraries, science museums, television appearances and specially arranged birthday parties. under the name of hart's reptile world, the organization was often featured in the local oregon and washington media, as well as larger media venues. for example, some pythons from the exhibit were featured in the video "sowing the seeds of love" by tears for fears, and wilbur the crocodile was featured in the michael jackson video "leave me alone." koegel may refer to: peter parker (june 18, 1804 – january 10, 1888) was an american physician and a missionary who introduced western medical techniques into qing dynasty china. it was said that parker "opened china to the gospel at the point of a lancet." parker was born in framingham, massachusetts in 1804 to an orthodox congregational family. his parents were farmers. parker received a b.a. degree from yale university in 1831, and his m.d. degree from the yale medical school, then called medical institution of yale college, in 1834. in january 1834, he completed his theological studies at yale and was ordained as a presbyterian minister. in february 1834, parker traveled to canton, where he had the distinction of being the first full-time protestant medical missionary to china. in 1835, he opened in that city the ophthalmic hospital, which later became the guangzhou boji hospital (the canton hospital). parker specialized in diseases of the eye, including cataracts, and also resected tumors. parker also introduced western anesthesia in the form of sulphuric ether. although the hospital was intended particularly for the treatment of eye diseases, it was soon found impracticable to exclude patients suffering from other maladies. over 2,000 patients were admitted the first year. parker often preached to the patients, and trained several chinese students in the arts of medicine and surgery, some of whom attained considerable skill. merchant david olyphant of olyphant & co. allowed parker to use one of his warehouses as a hospital "so that patients could come and go without annoying foreigners by passing through their "hongs", or excite the observations of natives by being seen to resort to a foreigner's house, rendered it most suitable for the purpose." in 1840, on the occurrence of hostilities between england and china, the hospital was closed, and parker returned to the united states. returning to china in 1842, he reopened the hospital, and it was thronged as before. he served as president of the medical missionary society of china after his mentor thomas richardson colledge. dr. john glasgow kerr followed parker in running the medical missionary society hospital. in 1844, parker worked as caleb cushing's main interpreter during the negotiations of the treaty of wanghia with the qing empire. in 1845 he became a secretary and interpreter to the new embassy from the united states, still keeping the hospital in operation. in the absence of the minister, parker acted as chargé d'affaires. in 1855, finding his health seriously impaired, he again returned to the united states. the 1844 treaty stipulated that it could be renegotiated after 12 years, and in 1856, president franklin pierce sent parker to china in order to revise the treaty and gain more concessions from the qing empire. parker was unsuccessful in this endeavor. he worked in this capacity until pierce left office. in 1857, his health again failing, he returned to the united states. while in china, parker met lam qua, a western-trained chinese painter. parker commissioned lam qua to paint patients at the canton hospital with large tumors or other major deformities. some of the paintings are part of a collection of lam qua's work held by the peter parker collection at the harvey cushing/john hay whitney medical library at yale university. parker left these portraits to the pathology department of the yale medical school, which later gave them to the library. he became a regent of the smithsonian institution in 1868, a corporate member of the american board in 1871, and was a delegate of the evangelical alliance to russia the same year to memorialize tsar alexander ii in behalf of religious liberty in the baltic provinces. he was president of the washington branch of the evangelical alliance in 1887. he died in washington, d.c. among his publications were: at-location mapping (alm) is closely related to location-based services (lbs). however, alm focuses on the delivery of maps 'at location', using mobile devices that are enabled with global positioning system (gps) technology. at-location mapping devices, like personal digital assistants (pdas) or cellular telephones, deliver maps on small screens that can be used for navigation or wayfinding. the attributes of these maps are that they are small, perhaps only 100 × 100 pixels and they must work adequately on small colour screens. alm is a developing area that contributes geographical content to services provided by mobile devices using the mobile internet of cellular telephone services. richard pike bissell (june 27, 1913 in dubuque, iowa – may 4, 1977) was an american author of short stories and novels. his third book, and second novel, "7½ cents", was adapted into the broadway musical "the pajama game". this won him (along with co-author george abbott) the 1955 tony award for best musical. he wrote a book about the experience called "say, darling", which chronicled the ins and outs of a broadway musical production and featured characters based on those (such as harold prince) he worked with; this book was "also" turned into a musical, also called "say, darling", in 1958. bissell was born and died in dubuque, iowa. he attended phillips exeter academy in new hampshire, and graduated from harvard university. he wrote a memoir of his experiences at harvard, "you can always tell a harvard man" (mcgraw hill, 1965). he worked on a freighter on the american export business lines and riverboats, served as vice president at a dubuque clothing manufacturer which had been bought by his great-grandfather (who worked his way from the bottom to the top of the company). he lived for several years and raised his children in rowayton, connecticut. a member of the lambs (1956). bissell wrote works about his experiences on the river that had some critics comparing him to mark twain, and "7½ cents" was based on his experiences in the garment industry. bissell wrote "7½ cents" while he was the vice-president of his family's pajama factory located in dubuque. in 2008, elmore leonard cited richard bissell as a major influence in formation of his style because he felt bissell could be naturally funny: the polecats are a rockabilly band formed at the end of the 1970s. the band formed in 1977 in north london. the original line-up was tim worman (a.k.a. tim polecat, vocalist), martin "boz" boorer, (guitarist and vocalist), phil bloomberg, (bassist), and chris hawkes (drummer), who originally played under the name "cult heroes." finding difficulty persuading promoters to book them on the rockabilly circuit with a name sounding "too punk", they adopted hawkes' suggested band name the polecats. hawkes was later replaced by neil rooney; who was subsequently replaced by john buck. the polecats played rockabilly with a "punk sense of anarchy and helped revive the genre for a new generation in the early '80s" the band were first signed by the fledgling british rockabilly record label nervous records, and recorded their first single "rockabilly guy" at guitarist alan warner's "lane studios" in 1979. formerly with the "foundations" band, warner toured and recorded with the polecats for about a year. in 1980 the band signed to mercury records, and released their most successful lp, "polecats are go!" they had uk chart success with a david bowie cover "john, i'm only dancing", a reworking of "rockabilly guy", and another cover version of the t-rex (marc bolan) song "jeepster". in 1983, they hit the charts in the united states with their song "make a circuit with me." john buck replaced neil rooney in 1982 playing drums. two of their songs were on the soundtrack to the 1986 film "joey". boz boorer left the group to work as a guitarist, musical director, and co-songwriter with morrissey, but led a polecats reunion in 1989, which produced a live album and a new studio set. tim polecat moved to los angeles, california and formed the band "13 cats" with drummer slim jim of the stray cats, stand-up bassist smutty smiff of the rockats, and guitarist danny b. harvey of the swing cats. musically, tim polecat also continues to work as a film composer and solo singer-songwriter. in november 2006 frontman jarvis cocker of the british band pulp, along with bassist steve mackey, released a double cd compilation album, "the trip", which featured tracks by artists as varied as the fall, gene pitney, the beach boys, the everly brothers, dion, sonny bono plus the polecats cover of david bowie's "john, i'm only dancing". in the disney pixar film "wall-e", advertisers used the polecats 1983 hit song, "make a circuit with me" in their television trailers for the film. in 2010, the us broadcaster tbs used the polecats 1983 hit song, "make a circuit with me" in two episodes of the tv series "glory daze". covert racism is a form of racial discrimination that is disguised and subtle, rather than public or obvious. concealed in the fabric of society, covert racism discriminates against individuals through often evasive or seemingly passive methods. covert, racially biased decisions are often hidden or rationalized with an explanation that society is more willing to accept. these racial biases cause a variety of problems that work to empower the suppressors while diminishing the rights and powers of the oppressed. covert racism often works subliminally, and often much of the discrimination is being done subconsciously. with the long history of slavery in the united states, racism has always been an issue. the enslavement of millions of africans along with the huge influx of immigrants throughout its history has allowed great diversity, but has created racial segregation. with the abolition of slavery, different forms of segregation were implemented, including jim crow laws and the later american political structures which invited extreme segregation within cities and the suburbanization of the white working and middle class. as overt and obvious racial discrimination became illegal and less and less apparent, the idea that the nation was homogenizing became popular. it was thought that as the u.s. accepted more immigrants from different cultures a sort of "melting pot" would occur and unify everyone under one creed. along with this, ideologies formed that every group of immigrants goes through the same discrimination. groups were thought to eventually assimilate, but racism remained and is still present today. when black g.i.s returned home from the vietnam war, they were denied the money promised to them to support their education and help them buy homes. while only 9.5% of soldiers serving in vietnam were black, they comprised nearly 20% of front line troops, and 25% or more of airborne divisions. black servicemen were twice as likely to re-enlist in the navy, marine corps and air force and three times as likely to re-enlist in the army as their white counterparts, not for any sense of adventure, but because they found the monetary rewards to be promising and they were treated as equals or near equals. in the 1950s, shortly after world war ii, urban areas were overtly divided into blocks by race. blocks occupied by minorities were close to toxic dumps, busy highways, and other undesirable locations throughout cities. whites lived away from these areas and often realtors would not be able to show properties to whites within these areas. landlords could choose to not rent apartments to certain minority groups, maintaining segregation. until the late 1960s, the government sanctioned discrimination in housing markets by promulgating rules preventing blacks from receiving mortgages insured by the federal housing administration. fha loans, a federal mortgage programme, goes to the white majority and reaches few minorities. in a study done in syracuse between 1996 and 2000, of the 2,169 fha loans issued, only 29 (or 1.3 percent) went to predominantly minority neighborhoods, compared with 1,694 (or 78.1 percent) that went to white neighborhoods and 446 (or 20 percent) that went to integrated neighborhoods. mortgage discrimination played a significant part in the real estate bubble that popped during the later part of 2008. it was found that minorities were disproportionately steered by lenders into subprime loans. the division of neighborhoods into school districts that avoid integration and end up investing on the "whiteness" of their neighborhoods, and the resulting residential and social segregation of whites from blacks in the united states, creates a socialization process that limits whites' chances for developing meaningful relationships with blacks and other minorities. the wealthy also control some of these divisions, which results in the minorities being excluded due to the low levels of income in most minority neighborhoods. the segregation experienced by whites from blacks fosters segregated lifestyles and leads them to develop positive views about themselves and negative views about blacks. many blacks and latinos have been discriminated against when applying for jobs because of stereotypes about work ethic based on race, and having a name that sounds "black" can sometimes lead to that person being denied an interview. minorities are less likely to obtain key information regarding job interviews and are often denied access to high-paying jobs. minorities are also denied access to a quality education. this is usually because many poor areas also predominantly consist of minorities. this means that there is often a lack of funding in schools. the levels of poverty and lack of educational opportunities perpetuate themselves, creating a vicious cycle. racial stereotypes emerge and these populations are further disenfranchised by individuals who do not help or do not care. in the new civil rights project report from ucla, dated january 2009, it stated that schools are more segregated today than they were in the 1950s. millions of non-white students are locked into "dropout factory" high schools, where huge percentages do not graduate, and few are well prepared for college or a future in the u.s. economy. a majority of the prison population in the u.s. consists of racial minorities. according to the center for american progress, black men are approximately seven times more likely to be incarcerated than whites, and spend on average ten months longer in prison. since the beating of rodney king (1991) was videotaped and was broadcast around the world, local and federal law-enforcement agencies have opened investigations to determine whether or not there is a pattern of police brutality not only in los angeles but around the country. in the united states, health disparities are well documented in ethnic minorities such as african americans, native americans, asian americans, and hispanics. when compared to whites, these minority groups have higher incidence of chronic diseases, higher mortality, and poorer health outcomes. among the disease-specific examples of racial and ethnic disparities in the united states is the cancer incidence rate among african americans, which is 25% higher than among whites. in addition, adult african americans and hispanics have approximately twice the risk as whites of developing diabetes. minorities also have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, hiv/aids, and infant mortality than whites. caucasian americans have much lower life expectancy than asian americans. a 2001 study found large racial differences exist in healthy life expectancy at lower levels of education. public spending is highly correlated with age; average per capita public spending for seniors was more than five times that for children ($6,921 versus $1,225). average public spending for non-hispanic blacks ($2,973) was slightly higher than that for whites ($2,675), while spending for hispanics ($1,967) was significantly lower than the population average ($2,612). total public spending is also strongly correlated with self-reported health status ($13,770 for those reporting "poor" health versus $1,279 for those reporting "excellent" health). there is a great deal of research into inequalities in health care. in some cases, these inequalities are caused by income disparities that result in lack of health insurance and other barriers to receiving services. in other cases, inequalities in health care reflect a systemic bias in the way medical procedures and treatments are prescribed for different ethnic groups. raj bhopal writes that the history of racism in science and medicine shows that people and institutions behave according to the ethos of their times. nancy krieger wrote that racism underlies unexplained inequities in health care, including treatment for heart disease, kidney failure, bladder cancer, and pneumonia. raj bhopal writes that these inequalities have been documented in numerous studies. the consistent and repeated findings were that black americans received less health care than white americans, particularly when the care involved expensive new technology. one recent study has found that when minority and white patients use the same hospital, they are given the same standard of care. the yelamu were a tribelet of ohlone people from the san francisco bay area in northern california. the term yelamu, or "the western people" was used by east bay ohlone to describe the ohlone people living on the san francisco peninsula. a more correct identification is ramaytush, according to an account by j.p. harrington made in 1921 by a chochenyo ohlone who identified the peninsula as "ramai". ramaytush was also the language spoken by them. randall milliken's study, "a time of little choice: the disintegration of tribal culture in the san francisco bay area 1769-1810," estimates that 160 to 300 yelamu were living in san francisco when the spanish opened mission san francisco de asís on june 30, 1776. artifacts have been found across san francisco from at least 50 different locations during modern construction activities within the city that were originally left by the three primary nomadic communities that moved seasonally from location to location around present day san francisco. additional villages existed to the south of san francisco as well. according to anthropologists the yelamu people and their ohlone neighbors arrived here between 4,000-6,000 years ago. they lived on the northern tip of the san francisco peninsula in the region comprising the city and county of san francisco before the arrival of spanish missionaries in 1769. the first four yelamu people who converted to christianity were baptized by father palou and father santa maria between 1777 and 1779. they were absorbed into the mission san francisco de asís that was founded in 1776 by the spaniards, and became some of the first "mission indians" in the san francisco area. the largest of the three san francisco groups had its winter village at tubsinthe, near candlestick point and its summer home at amuctac in visitacion valley. the second group moved between their summer camp at chutchui village located along mission creek in the mission and sitlintac on the edge of mission bay that was filled in during the 19th century. the third community lived near crissy field at petlenuc. the yelamu/ramai villages south of san francisco: see list of ohlone villages for a larger list. the pasquotank river is a coastal water-body in northeastern north carolina in the united states. located between camden and pasquotank counties, the pasquotank connects directly to the albemarle sound and is part of the intracoastal waterway via elizabeth city. machelhe island is a river island on the pasquotank river. the name "pasquotank" is derived from "pashetanki", an algonquian word translated as "where the current forks." the river gained importance in trade and shipping during the american colonial period. the battle of elizabeth city was fought on the pasquotank river where a small confederate fleet was sunk in defense of the city. the confederate ships sunk on the pasquotank river in the battle were the css black warrior, css fanny, css sea bird, and the css appomattox. some principal industries along the pasquotank were transport, logging, and oyster harvesting. since the twentieth century, the commercial viability of the river has declined, as more traffic uses the intracoastal waterway by way of coinjock. the river is now primarily frequented by pleasure boaters. north carolina state library. july 1997. “county history.” north carolina encyclopedia. 18 nov. 2000. the supreme court of the united states is the highest ranking judicial body in the united states. established by article iii of the constitution, the detailed structure of the court was laid down by the 1st united states congress in 1789. congress specified the court's original and appellate jurisdiction, created 13 judicial districts, and fixed the number of justices at sixone chief justice and five associate justices. the number of justices on the supreme court changed six times before settling at the present total of nine in 1869. as a result, there have been a total of 11 seats on the court: one chief justiceship and 10 associate justiceships (two of which have been abolished). the following tables detail the succession of justices of the supreme court of the united states by seat. there are no formal numbers or names for the individual seats of associate justices, which are listed in this article simply by number, as well as by the date each was established by congress. the numbering of associate justice seats 1–4 reflects the order of precedence of the inaugural justices to occupy those seats, which was based upon the seniority of their commission from president george washington following their confirmation by the u.s. senate. the fifth original associate justice seat, and the simultaneously created seventh and eighth seats, are numbered according to the order in which each seat's first occupant received their commission from the president following senate confirmation. seats six, nine, and 10 are numbered according to the order in which each was created by statute. the "start date" listed for each justice is the day he or she took the judicial oath of office, and the "end date" is the date of the justice's death, resignation, or retirement. the judiciary act of 1789 () set the number of supreme court justices at six: one chief justice and five associate justices. one of the associate justice seats established in 1789 (seat 5 below) was later abolished, as a result of the judicial circuits act of 1866 (), which provided for the gradual elimination of seats on the supreme court until there would be seven justices. in 1807, congress passed the seventh circuit act (), which added a sixth associate justice to the supreme court. two more seats were added in 1837, as a result of the eighth and ninth circuits act (); one of these (seat 7 below) was later abolished as a result of the judicial circuits act of 1866. the supreme court reached its peak size in 1863, when the tenth circuit act () became law, and a tenth justice joined the court. after fluctuating from nine to ten to eight members over a six-year period, the size of the court was restored to nine members through the circuit judges act of 1869 (), a broad reconstruction era reorganization of the federal courts. this act remains (as of the 115th congress) the governing law regarding the number of seats on the court. kud idijoti was a punk rock band from pula, croatia. the name of the band translates to "cultural artistic society "idiots"" the word "idijoti" is deliberately spelled wrong, the correct croatian form of the word being "idioti". the prefix 'kud' (in full, "kulturno-umjetničko društvo" – cultural-artistic society) is a common designation for folk dance and music groups in the ex-yugoslav countries. the band was formed in 1981 and released its debut album in 1986. in 1987 they won the youth festival prize in subotica in competition with over 300 bands and quickly gained recognition as one of the most popular bands on the punk scene of the former yugoslavia. after winning the first prize they have gained international popularity, performing live in switzerland, germany, hungary and italy. particularly in italy in reggio calabria, the festival of mediterranean countries almost turned into an international incident, after carabinieri stopped the performance of the famous communist song bandiera rossa. their compilation album, "bolivia r'n'r", compilation of the first three singles and three previously unreleased songs, was published in january 1990 by the independent german record label "incognito records." in may of the same year they published the next album "mi smo ovdje samo zbog para" ("we are only here for the money"), which until now went on to become their biggest selling album. due to the breakup of yugoslavia, the release of their third album, "glupost je neuništiva" ("stupidity is indestructible") was briefly delayed, and consequently released at the end of 1992. next year they published the album "tako je govorio zaratusta" ("thus spoke zaratusta"), which was also their first album was released on cd. this album contains on one of their most famous songs: "za tebe" ("for you"), and the cover of the italian partisan song bella ciao. in 1994, the band went on tour in germany, switzerland and macedonia, and they performed at sziget festival in budapest. another significant performance was held on 10 october of the same year in ljubljana's tivoli hall, where kud idijoti played as the opening act for the american punk rock band ramones. in 1995, the band released the album "" (wordplay of a very common curse and "mother istria") in collaboration with the pula composition band gori ussi winnetou. immediately after releasing the album, radio pazin was banned because of its broadcast of the song "turbo cattolica" which mentions pazin inquisitor. 1995 and 1996 saw the creation of another two studio albums, lp "megapunk" and ep "fuck". megapunk and fuck received positive critical reviews. in early 1997. band signed with the record label dancing bear, and released the album "cijena ponosa" ("price of pride"). in 1999 they published "gratis hits live", the album with appearances in club uljanik pula, on the occasion of the band's 18th birthday. kud idijoti remained popular in other countries of the former yugoslavia, and have frequently toured throughout its former member republics. "remek djelo" ("masterpiece"), their last album, was published in 2001 and followed by the promotional concert tour. apart from franci blašković, band members have collaborated with peter lovšin, singer of the slovenian punk band pankrti, šajeta and hladno pivo. in 2011, singer branko črnac "tusta" was diagnosed with lung and throat cancer, and the band went on an indefinite hiatus. a number of humanitarian concerts were organised which were used to raise funds to help with the treatment, but tusta died on 14 october 2012 from this disease, at the age of 57. a few days following his death, the lead guitarist and founder of the band, sale veruda, declared that with the death of tusta kud idijoti as a band have ceased to exist. cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin), also known as cervical dysplasia, is the abnormal growth of cells on the surface of the cervix that could potentially lead to cervical cancer. more specifically, cin refers to the potentially precancerous transformation of cells of the cervix. cin most commonly occurs at the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix, a transitional area between the squamous epithelium of the vagina and the columnar epithelium of the endocervix. it can also occur in vaginal walls and vulvar epithelium. cin is graded on a 1-3 scale, with 3 being the most abnormal (see classification section below). human papilloma virus (hpv) infection is necessary for the development of cin, but not all with this infection develop cervical cancer. many women with hpv infection never develop cin or cervical cancer. typically, hpv resolves on its own. however, those with an hpv infection that lasts more than one or two years have a higher risk of developing a higher grade of cin. like other intraepithelial neoplasias, cin is not cancer and is usually curable. most cases of cin either remain stable or are eliminated by the person's immune system without need for intervention. however, a small percentage of cases progress to cervical cancer, typically cervical squamous cell carcinoma (scc), if left untreated. there are no specific symptoms of cin alone. generally, signs and symptoms of cervical cancer include: hpv infection of the vulva and vagina can cause genital warts or be asymptomatic. the cause of cin is chronic infection of the cervix with hpv, especially infection with high-risk hpv types 16 or 18. it is thought that the high-risk hpv infections have the ability to inactivate tumor suppressor genes such as the p53 gene and the rb gene, thus allowing the infected cells to grow unchecked and accumulate successive mutations, eventually leading to cancer. some groups of women have been found to be at a higher risk of developing cin: additionally, a number of risk factors have been shown to increase an individual's likelihood of developing cin 3/carcinoma "in situ (see below):" the earliest microscopic change corresponding to cin is epithelial dysplasia, or surface lining, of the cervix, which is essentially undetectable by the woman. the majority of these changes occur at the squamocolumnar junction, or transformation zone, an area of unstable cervical epithelium that is prone to abnormal changes. cellular changes associated with hpv infection, such as koilocytes, are also commonly seen in cin. while infection with hpv is needed for development of cin, most women with hpv infection do not develop high-grade intraepithelial lesions or cancer. hpv is not alone enough causative. of the over 100 different types of hpv, approximately 40 are known to affect the epithelial tissue of the anogenital area and have different probabilities of causing malignant changes. a test for hpv called the digene hpv test is highly accurate and serves as both a direct diagnosis and adjuvant to the all-important pap smear which is a screening device that allows for an examination of cells but not tissue structure, needed for diagnosis. a colposcopy with directed biopsy is the standard for disease detection. endocervical brush sampling at the time of pap smear to detect adenocarcinoma and its precursors is necessary along with doctor/patient vigilance on abdominal symptoms associated with uterine and ovarian carcinoma. the diagnosis of cin or cervical carcinoma requires a biopsy for histological analysis. historically, abnormal changes of cervical epithelial cells were described as mild, moderate, or severe epithelial dysplasia. in 1988 the national cancer institute developed "the bethesda system for reporting cervical/vaginal cytologic diagnoses." this system provides a uniform way to describe abnormal epithelial cells and determine specimen quality, thus providing clear guidance for clinical management. these abnormalities were classified as squamous or glandular and then further classified by the stage of dysplasia: atypical cells, mild, moderate, severe, and carcinoma. depending on several factors and the location of the lesion, cin can start in any of the three stages and can either progress or regress. the grade of squamous intraepithelial lesion can vary. cin is classified in grades: the college of american pathology and the american society of colposcopy and cervical pathology came together in 2012 to publish changes in terminology to describe hpv associated squamous lesions of the anogenital tract as lsil or hsil as follows below: cin 1 is referred to as lsil. cin 2 that is negative for p16, a marker for high-risk hpv, is referred to as lsil. those that are p16-positive are referred to as hsil. cin 3 is referred to as hsil. the two screening methods available are the pap smear and testing for hpv. cin is usually discovered by a screening test, the pap smear. the purpose of this test is to detect potentially precancerous changes through random sampling of the transformation zone. pap smear results may be reported using the bethesda system (see above). the sensitivity and specificity of this test were variable in a systematic review looking at accuracy of the test. an abnormal pap smear result may lead to a recommendation for colposcopy of the cervix, an in office procedure during which the cervix is examined under magnification. a biopsy is taken of any abnormal appearing areas. hpv testing can identify most of the high risk hpv types responsible for cin. hpv screening happens either as a co-test with the pap smear or can be done after a pap smear showing abnormal cells, called reflex testing. frequency of screening changes based on guidelines from the society of lower genital tract disorders (asccp). the world health organization also has screening and treatment guidelines for precancerous cervical lesions and prevention of cervical cancer. hpv vaccination is the approach to primary prevention of both cin and cervical cancer. it is important to note that these vaccines do not protect against 100% of types of hpv known to cause cancer. therefore, screening is still recommended in vaccinated individuals. appropriate management with monitoring and treatment is the approach to secondary prevention of cervical cancer in cases of persons with cin. treatment for cin 1, mild dysplasia, is not recommended if it lasts fewer than 2 years. usually, when a biopsy detects cin 1 the woman has an hpv infection which may clear on its own within 12 months. therefore, it is instead followed for later testing rather than treated. in young women closely monitoring cin 2 lesions also appears reasonable. treatment for higher-grade cin involves removal or destruction of the abnormal cervical cells by cryocautery, electrocautery, laser cautery, loop electrical excision procedure (leep), or cervical conization. the typical threshold for treatment is cin 2+, although a more restrained approach may be taken for young persons and pregnant persons. therapeutic vaccines are currently undergoing clinical trials. the lifetime recurrence rate of cin is about 20%, but it isn't clear what proportion of these cases are new infections rather than recurrences of the original infection. surgical treatment of cin lesions is associated with an increased risk of infertility or subfertility. a case-control study found that there is an approximately two-fold increase in risk i. treatment of cin during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth. people with hiv and cin 2+ should be initially managed according to the recommendations for the general population according to the 2012 updated asccp consensus guidelines. it used to be thought that cases of cin progressed through grades 1-3 toward cancer in a linear fashion. however most cin spontaneously regress. left untreated, about 70% of cin 1 will regress within one year; 90% will regress within two years. about 50% of cin 2 will regress within 2 years without treatment. progression to cervical carcinoma in situ (cis) occurs in approximately 11% of cin 1 and 22% of cin 2 cases. progression to invasive cancer occurs in approximately 1% of cin 1, 5% in cin 2 and at least 12% in cin 3 cases. progression to cancer typically takes 15 years with a range of 3 to 40 years. also, evidence suggests that cancer can occur without first detectably progressing through cin grades and that a high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia can occur without first existing as a lower grade. treatment does not affect the chances of getting pregnant but does increase the risk of second trimester miscarriages. between 250,000 and 1 million american women are diagnosed with cin annually. women can develop cin at any age, however women generally develop it between the ages of 25 to 35. the estimated annual incidence of cin in the united states among persons who undergo screening is 4% for cin 1 and 5% for cin 2 and cin 3. mahleb or mahalepi is an aromatic spice made from the seeds of a species of cherry, "prunus mahaleb" (the mahaleb or st lucie cherry). the cherry stones are cracked to extract the seed kernel, which is about 5 mm diameter, soft and chewy on extraction. the seed kernel is ground to a powder before use. its flavour is similar to a combination of bitter almond and cherry, and similar also to marzipan. mahleb is used in small quantities to sharpen sweet foods and cakes, and is used in production of tresse cheese. it has been used for centuries in the middle east and the surrounding areas as a flavoring for baked goods. recipes calling for the fruit or seed of the "ḫalub" date back to ancient sumer. in recent decades, it has been slowly entering mainstream cookbooks in english. in greek cuisine, "mahlep" is sometimes added to different types of holiday "tsoureki" breads, including christmas bread, the new year's "vasilopita" and the braided easter bread called "cheoreg" in armenian and "paskalya çöreği " in turkish. in turkey, it is used in "poğaça" scones and other pastries. in the arabic middle east, it is used in "ma'amoul" scones. in egypt, powdered mahlab is made into a paste with honey, sesame seeds and nuts, eaten as a dessert or a snack with bread. in english, mahleb is sometimes spelled mahalab, mahlep, mahaleb, etc. table tennis terminology is a set of english words and phrases used in the game of table tennis to describe the game, the play and the equipment. this article lists some of them. thomas gilroy is the name of: valence bond (vb) computer

ltd model range for the 1980 model year, a single generation was produced through the 1991 model year. throughout its production, the ltd crown victoria was marketed as the ford counterpart of the mercury grand marquis. the model line was offered as a two-door and a four-door sedan, alongside the woodgrained ford ltd country squire station wagon (an ltd crown victoria station wagon without wood trim was also offered). for 1983, as part of a revision within all three ford divisions, the ltd and ltd crown victoria became separate model ranges, with the latter becoming the sole full-size ford sedan range. for 1992, the model line underwent an extensive redesign. ending the use of the ltd prefix, the sedan became the ford crown victoria; the country squire wagon was discontinued in favor of other styles of family vehicles. from 1979 to 1985, the ltd crown victoria was produced by st. louis assembly in hazelwood, missouri. in 1985, ford shifted production to st. thomas assembly in southwold, ontario, where ford and mercury full-size vehicles were assembled until 2011. for 1980, ford reintroduced the "crown victoria" nameplate as a luxury trim package for the all-new ford ltd, taking the place of the ltd landau. taking its name from the ford fairlane crown victoria of 1955-1956, the ltd crown victoria borrowed a distinctive styling feature from its fairlane counterpart: a targa-style band across the roof atop the b-pillars. for the fairlane, the band was bright chrome; to modernize its appearance, the ltd crown victoria adopted a band of brushed aluminum. in the landaulet-style of the lincoln town car, the ltd crown victoria was fitted with a half-length padded vinyl roof, with the brushed-aluminum band covering the b-pillars (in place of the "coach lamps" of the mercury grand marquis). in the style of the original 1965 ford ltd, the ltd crown victoria featured a "crested" hood ornament. the first time ford used the "victoria" as a naming convention was in 1932 on the ford victoria and the lincoln victoria 2-door coupes. as with the previous-generation ltd, the ltd crown victoria directly competed against the chevrolet caprice and the pontiac bonneville (both downsized for 1977). originally slated for replacement by the ford taurus in the early 1980s, the model line saw relatively little change throughout its production. as the decade progressed, concerns over fuel economy eased, which allowed further development of full-size cars. for 1988 and 1990, the ltd crown victoria saw a number of revisions and updates. in early 1991, the redesigned ford crown victoria was introduced as a replacement, which marked the end of the ford ltd nameplate in north america. the ford ltd crown victoria uses the rear-wheel drive ford panther platform architecture. as part of a major downsizing over the 1973-1978 ltd brougham/landau, the ltd crown victoria shed 18 inches of length and nearly 1000 pounds of curb weight. although much smaller than its predecessor, the ltd crown victoria would carry over the basic suspension design of its predecessor, with a live rear axle suspension and double wishbone independent front suspension. brakes were of a vented disc/rear drum configuration. when introduced in 1980, the ltd crown victoria was produced with the two smallest-displacement engines previously available on the ltd, the 4.9 l (marketed by ford as "5.0") and 5.8 l windsor v8s. in the interest of fuel economy and cafe regulations, the 460 v8 was shifted to truck use while the 400 v8 was discontinued altogether. in 1981, ford would take steps to further increase the fuel economy of its full-size cars. from the lincoln continental/mark vi, all panther-platform cars received the 4-speed aod overdrive automatic transmission, replacing all previous 3-speed automatics. the engine line was revised: the 5.8 l v8 was restricted exclusively to fleet (police) sales, with a 4.2 l version of the 4.9 l v8 becoming the new base engine. the 4.9 l v8 saw major changes, with the carburetor replaced by throttle-body "electronic central fuel injection". in contrast to competitors from general motors and chrysler, the ltd crown victoria was sold exclusively with a v8 engine. as the ltd crown victoria became a stand-alone model line for the 1983 model year, the 4.2 l v8 was discontinued altogether, leaving the 5.0 v8 the only engine available on all models (with a 5.8 carburetor v8 engine also available, but only on fleet-usage models, particularly police cars). for 1986, the throttle-body fuel injection system (which turned out to have driveability issues) was replaced by a multi-port "sequential-fire" fuel-injection system with a redesigned air intake; the system was based on an obd-1 compliant ford eec-iv computer. at the end of its production in 1991, the ltd crown victoria was produced with the 5.0 l v8. although a (rare) option on the mercury grand marquis, sales of the 5.8-liter v8 (with a ford 7200 variable-venturi carburetor) was restricted to fleets, with most sold as part of the ford police package. 1991 panther-platform cars with the 5.8 were the very last american cars sold with a carbureted engine. when introduced in 1980, the ford ltd crown victoria was produced in both two-door and four-door sedan body configurations. as with the standard-trim ltd, the ltd crown victoria was produced with quad-headlight front bodywork. similar to the 1979 ford mustang, the car had the 4 eyed quad headlight arrangement in the front facia. this was one of the final classical "eyed" cars to ever be manufactured. for 1983, the exterior was given a minor update, with a redesigned "eggcrate" grille; the taillamps saw a minor update because the ltd script was removed from them. for 1980, the coupe assumed the role of full-sized coupe when the thunderbird was downsized and shared the chassis with the smaller mustang. for the 1988 model year, the ltd crown victoria saw a revision to the exterior and interior. in a move to modernize the exterior and improve its aerodynamics, the edges of the front and rear fenders were rounded off. the design of the bumpers was updated to better integrate the corners into the fenders (it retained the 4 eyed quad headlight arrangement). the design of the trunklid was changed to fit wraparound taillamp clusters while the front turn signals and parking lamps were integrated into a single cluster with the quad headlamps. the grille was redesigned from an eggcrate style to a waterfall style (a design distinct from that used by mercury) with the ford blue oval centered. the interior was updated with new front and rear seats. in 1987, ford sold 5,527 two-door sedans (compared to 105,789 four-door sedans); due to declining sales of the body style, the two-door was not included in the facelift, making the 1979-87 coupe a minor collector's item. in 1990, the interior again saw major changes as the dashboard of the ltd crown victoria was redesigned. nearly identical to that of the grand marquis, the new interior features a driver-side airbag as standard equipment. to streamline production costs and increase its appeal after 11 years, the standard equipment list of the ltd crown victoria added many previously optional features, including air conditioning, which was made standard in 1987, power windows, locks, tilt steering, and automatic headlights (autolamp). for 1991, the ltd crown victoria saw a minor exterior change, as the parking light lenses were changed in color from amber to clear. from 1980 to 1982, the ltd crown victoria existed as a trim package within the ltd range. as ford made the ltd crown victoria a stand-alone model line, it inherited the same trim lineup from the full-size ford ltd. as a base model restricted for fleets and police sales, the ltd crown victoria "s" was available, coming with either v8 engine. distinguished by its vinyl roof delete, steel wheels and bright wheel covers, and lack of chrome roof band (a non-padded vinyl roof was an option), the s model was equipped with very few features, such as a vinyl bench seat, hood ornament delete, manual windows and locks, and am radio (upgraded radios at extra cost). while mostly sold to fleets (particularly police and taxi sales), the ltd crown victoria s was also sold to the general public, as station wagon version was also available in this trim level (the only ltd crown victoria variant in this trim level available to the general public). the standard ltd crown victoria was intended for retail markets, coming with the 5.0l v8 engine as standard. in addition to the landau-style vinyl padded roof with targa-style trim and wire wheel covers, the model featured full carpeting, reclining cloth bench seat, and am/fm radio. above the standard ltd crown victoria, ford offered an interior luxury package and in 1986, the option package became the ltd crown victoria lx. featuring split-bench cloth seats, the option included upgraded interior carpet, additional sound insulation and power-operated features, and upgraded stereo systems. on the exterior of the lx, the option was distinguished by cornering lamps, two-tone paint, and aluminum alloy wheels. from 1979 to 1991, a station wagon was produced alongside the four-door sedan as part of the full-size car line. trimmed nearly identically to the top-trim ltd landau (subsequently ltd crown victoria and crown victoria lx), the wood-paneled country squire consisted of the majority of sales; an ltd crown victoria wagon without the wood sides was available in deluxe as well as in base "s" trim. as with its predecessor, the station wagon came equipped with a dual-hinged tailgate; it opened both downwards like the tailgate of a pickup truck or swung open to the side. also standard were a roof rack and dual side-facing jump seats in the cargo area, expanding seating capacity to eight (except in "s" trim, which lacked these accessories). as the demand for family vehicles in the late 1980s and early 1990s had shifted from large station wagons to minivans, full-size vans, and (later) to sport-utility vehicles, sales of the big ford station wagon rapidly declined; only 3,865 were sold through 1991. for the 1992 model year redesign of the crown victoria, the station wagon was dropped from the model lineup. in use primarily restricted for the police, taxi and other fleet markets, the ltd crown victoria s was sold to fleets throughout its production. internally referred as "p72", the ltd crown victoria s was trimmed separately from a standard ltd crown victoria, deleting many convenience features. mechanically, the p72 was the only version available with the 5.8l v8 after 1980 in the united states. president george w. bush announced the international partnership on avian and pandemic influenza in his remarks to the high-level plenary meeting of the united nations general assembly on september 14, 2005, in new york. on september 15, 2005, under secretary of state for democracy and global affairs dr. paula dobriansky was joined by the director general of the world health organization dr. lee jong-wook, executive director of unicef ann veneman, and senior representatives from several participating countries to describe the partnerships goals of improving global readiness by: the international partnership on avian and pandemic influenza is committed to protecting human and animal health as well as mitigating the global socioeconomic and security consequences of an influenza pandemic. the partnership seeks to work with all concerned states to limit the spread of h5n1 avian flu and any other highly pathogenic influenza strain by taking all necessary steps to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the growing threat. partners are concerned about the potential for large-scale outbreaks. as such, participants are committed to the following principles to establish a more coordinated and effective basis for limiting the social, economic and health impacts of avian and pandemic influenza, consistent with national legal authorities and relevant international law and frameworks. noting that enhanced global cooperation on avian and pandemic influenza will provide a template for global cooperation to address other types of health emergencies, we join together in our commitment to: cr-39, or allyl diglycol carbonate (adc), is a plastic polymer commonly used in the manufacture of eyeglass lenses. the abbreviation stands for "columbia resin #39", which was the 39th formula of a thermosetting plastic developed by the columbia resins project in 1940. the first commercial use of cr-39 monomer was to help create glass-reinforced plastic fuel tanks for the b-17 bomber aircraft in world war ii, reducing weight and increasing range of the bomber. after the war, the armorlite lens company in california is credited with manufacturing the first cr-39 eyeglass lenses in 1947. cr-39 plastic has an index of refraction of 1.498 and an abbe number of 58. cr-39 is now a trade-marked product of ppg industries. an alternative use includes a purified version that is used to measure neutron radiation, a type of ionizing radiation, in neutron dosimetry. although cr-39 is a type of polycarbonate, it should not be confused with the general term polycarbonate, a tough homopolymer usually made from bisphenol a. cr-39 is made by polymerization of diethyleneglycol bis allylcarbonate (adc) in presence of diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate (ipp) initiator. the presence of the allyl groups allows the polymer to form cross-links; thus, it is a thermoset resin. the monomer structure is the polymerization schedule of adc monomers using ipp is generally 20 hours long with a maximum temperature of 95 °c. the elevated temperatures can be supplied using a water bath or a forced air oven. benzoyl peroxide (bpo) is an alternative organic peroxide that may be used to polymerize adc. pure benzoyl peroxide is crystalline and less volatile than diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. using bpo results in a polymer that has a higher yellowness index, and the peroxide takes longer to dissolve into adc at room temperature than ipp. "cr-39 is transparent in the visible spectrum and is almost completely opaque in the ultraviolet range. it has high abrasion resistance, in fact the highest abrasion/scratch resistance of any uncoated optical plastic. cr-39 is about half the weight of glass with an index of refraction only slightly lower than that of crown glass, and its high abbe number yields low chromatic aberration, altogether making it an advantageous material for eyeglasses and sunglasses. a wide range of colors can be achieved by dyeing of the surface or the bulk of the material. cr-39 is also resistant to most solvents and other chemicals, gamma radiation, aging, and to material fatigue. it can withstand the small hot sparks from welding, something glass cannot do. it can be used continuously in temperatures up to 100 °c and up to one hour at 130 °c." in the radiation detection application, cr-39 is used as a solid-state nuclear track detector to detect the presence of ionising radiation. energetic particles colliding with the polymer structure leave a trail of broken chemical bonds within the cr-39. when immersed in a concentrated alkali solution (typically sodium hydroxide) hydroxide ions attack and break the polymer structure, etching away the bulk of the plastic at a nominally fixed rate. however, along the paths of damage left by charged particle interaction the concentration of radiation damage allows the chemical agent to attack the polymer more rapidly than it does in the bulk, revealing the paths of the charged particle ion tracks. the resulting etched plastic therefore contains a permanent record of not only the location of the radiation on the plastic but also gives spectroscopic information about the source. principally used for the detection of alpha radiation emitting radionuclides (especially radon gas), the radiation-sensitivity properties of cr-39 are also used for proton and neutron dosimetry and historically cosmic ray investigations. the ability of cr-39 to record the location of a radiation source, even at extremely low concentrations is exploited in autoradiography studies with alpha particles, and for (comparatively cheap) detection of alpha-emitters like uranium. typically, a thin section of a biological material is fixed against cr-39 and kept frozen for a timescale of months to years in an environment that is shielded as much as possible from possible radiological contaminants. before etching, photographs are taken of the biological sample with the affixed cr-39 detector, with care taken to ensure that prescribed location marks on the detector are noted. after the etching process, automated or manual 'scanning' of the cr-39 is used to physically locate the ionising radiation recorded, which can then be mapped to the position of the radionuclide within the biological sample. there is no other non-destructive method for accurately identifying the location of trace quantities of radionuclides in biological samples at such low emission levels. cr-39 is used in some photographic filters, such as the zero camera filters . a direct equivalent is produced by acomon ag with the brand name rav, and another one by danyang yueda finechemichal co. ltd in china. a highly purified cr-39, manufactured under the name of tastrak, is available specifically for radio-dosimetry. in linguistics, a sprachraum (; , "language space") is a geographical region where a common first language (mother tongue), with dialect varieties, or group of languages is spoken. most sprachraums do not follow national borders. for example, half of south america is part of the spanish sprachraum, while a single, small country like switzerland is at the intersection of three such language spheres. a sprachraum can also be separated by oceans. the four major western sprachraums are those of english, spanish, portuguese and french (according to the number of speakers). the english sprachraum (anglosphere) spans the globe, from the united kingdom, ireland, united states, canada, australia, and new zealand to the many former british colonies where english has official language status alongside local languages, such as india and south africa. the french sprachraum, which also has area on several continents, is known as the francophonie (). the francophonie is also the short name of an international organisation composed of countries with french as an official language. the portuguese sprachraum or lusosphere or lusophony () is a cultural entity that includes the countries where portuguese is the official language, as well as the portuguese diaspora. it also includes people who may not have any portuguese ancestry but are culturally and linguistically linked to portugal. the community of portuguese language countries or community of portuguese speaking countries (portuguese: "comunidade dos países de língua portuguesa", abbreviated to cplp) is the intergovernmental organisation for friendship among lusophone (portuguese-speaking) nations where portuguese is an official language. by extension, a sprachraum can also include a group of related languages. thus the scandinavian sprachraum includes norway, sweden, denmark, iceland, and the faroe islands, while the finnic sprachraum is finland, estonia and adjacent areas of scandinavia and russia. even within a single sprachraum, there can be different, but closely related, languages, otherwise known as dialect continua. a classic example is the varieties of chinese, which can be mutually unintelligible in spoken form, but are typically considered the same language (or, at least, closely related) and have a unified non-phonetic writing system. arabic has a similar situation, but its writing system (an abjad) reflects the pronunciation and grammar of a common literary language (modern standard arabic). cabecou is a soft goat cheese that comes from the midi-pyrénées region of southern france. it has a thin striped rind and after 2 weeks its crust grows blue mold changing its taste. it is one of aquitaine's most famous foods. aquitaine is a region in the lower bottom of france. the coloration of this creation is a calm cream color. the name comes from the occitan word "cabra/craba" which means goat. st. andrew's abbey is a male benedictine monastery of the congregation of the annunciation located in valyermo, in the mojave desert, northern los angeles county, southern california. in 1929, st. andrew's abbey in bruges, belgium founded st. andrew's priory in china, and until 1953, the monks of the priory conducted missionary work among the people of china. in 1953, the communists expelled all foreign priests as well as all religious brothers and sisters from the country. forced to leave china behind, in 1955 the monks purchased the hidden springs ranch where the monastery is now located. st. andrew's priory thus began its ministry in valyermo, which is located in the high desert of southern california and within the boundaries of the archdiocese of los angeles. it is not far from the communities of palmdale, lancaster and wrightwood, california. in 1992, st. andrew's priory became an abbey. father francis benedict, osb was elected first abbot of st. andrew's abbey and received the abbatial blessing on august 2, 1992. francis benedict, served as abbot for sixteen years during which he served with unflagging devotion as shepherd of the monastery. the new welcome center and youth center chapel are the most recent and visible reminders of abbot francis’ deep commitment to the community. abbot francis stepped down in 2008 and became known as abbot emeritus. st. andrew's abbey is well known as a retreat centre in california. the abbey is located in an isolated area which is conducive to silence. while the abbey does not care for any parishes, it welcomes numerous guests each year either as retreatants or as casual visitors. additionally, the abbey is also known for its ceramics that it produces. a number of the monks also teach at the seminary for the catholic archdiocese of los angeles and in colleges and universities in the los angeles area. at the invitation of abbot ansgar schmidt, o.s.b., the abbot president of the benedictine congregation of the annunciation, of which st. andrew’s abbey is part, the monks at valyermo began an intensive period of study and reflection in preparation for the election of a new abbot. on 21 june 2010, the community elected their prior, damien toilolo o.s.b. as abbot for an eight-year term. from april 2009 until october 2011, the community of saint andrew's abbey hosted a small group of eastern rite catholic monks in search of property to establish their own monastery (called holy resurrection). in 2011, these byzantine monks purchased a former convent in the village of saint nazianz in manitowoc county, eastern wisconsin. ktgm, virtual and uhf digital channel 14, is an abc-affiliated television station serving the u.s. territory of guam that is licensed to tamuning. owned by sorensen media group, it is a sister station to low-powered fox affiliate keqi-lp (channel 22). the two stations share studios on 111 chalan santo papa in hagåtña (agana); ktgm's transmitter is located in the heights of barigåda (barrigada). ktgm signed on the air in 1987, broadcasting on ntsc analog channel 14. it was guam's second commercial tv station after kuam-tv had signed on 31 years prior, and the first tv station of any kind on guam in nearly 17 years since pbs member kgtf's sign on. it has always been a primary abc affiliate, but in the beginning also had a secondary cbs affiliation, which it shared with kuam-tv. it added fox programming in 1990, after being dropped by kuam-tv. cbs was dropped in 1995 after kuam-lp signed on. fox was dropped as well by the end of the 1990s, shifting its focus to abc programming, after which fox was only available on cable via san francisco bay area affiliate ktvu until 2005, when keqi-lp picked up the affiliation. between june 2001 and november 2005, ktgm also carried wb programming (previously carried by kuam-lp). ktgm used to be located on the third floor of the atlantica building at 692 north marine drive (now known as marine corps drive) in upper tumon (municipality of tamuning). due to the building's ownership issues, ktgm moved to a commercial building on route 16 (now known as army drive) in barrigada heights in 2003. in 2001, the station also launched a repeater, kppi-lp, in garapan, saipan, northern marianas islands, on vhf channel 7. the station started off as k07xg (november 19, 2001–december 17, 2004), before gaining the callsign of kppi-lp (december 17, 2004–march 28, 2005). it was deleted for three days (as dkppi-lp, from march 28 to march 31, 2005), before being reinstated as kppi-lp on march 31, 2005. it is the only broadcast station in saipan today, after kuam-tv satellite wsze shut down in the 2000s. the station has a construction permit to flash-cut to digital as kppi-ld on vhf channel 7. originally owned and operated by island broadcasting, inc., ktgm was purchased by sorensen media group (then owner of five radio stations on guam and saipan, and now additionally three tv stations) in november 2005. soon after, it moved its cable channel position from 14 to 7, hence the current station branding. in 2009, sorensen moved the station's facilities, along with its sister stations, from barrigada heights to hagåtña. in 2008, ktgm apparently had its dtv construction permit expire, and was waiting for the fcc to reinstate it, which it did later that year. on february 18, 2009, ktgm officially signed off its analog channel at 2 p.m. chamorro standard time (6 p.m. hst/8 p.m. pst/11 p.m. est on february 17, 2009) and switched on its atsc digital channel 14. because guam is a day ahead of the continental united states and that most programs arrived by tapes from california, ktgm used to air most abc shows (except those available through satellites) on a one-week delay basis. when ktgm carried wb programming, it was aired from 6–8 p.m. directly before abc's primetime schedule, also on a one-week delay. with advancing communication technology, ktgm now airs the complete abc lineup on the "same day" (just a few hours behind hawaii), meaning that a monday through sunday stateside pattern is aired on a tuesday through monday pattern on guam due to the time zone and day-ahead hindrance. abc's sports programs are aired with less delay, and often in the middle of the night, guam time; some sporting events that air live in primetime often air in the late-morning hours in guam—one example was "monday night football" which, when it was on abc, aired on tuesdays at 11 a.m. in guam. ktgm's syndicated programming includes "entertainment tonight" and "inside edition". these same programs are also repeated on keqi. in 2005, ktgm began airing repeats of their abc children's and primetime shows (like "ugly betty") during the week after their original airings, which made them the only abc affiliate to hold this unique programming distinction. it was discontinued in 2009. ktgm broadcast hourly weather segments from what it dubbed the "abc14 weathercenter" between january 1999 and december 2002. (it was never revived after super typhoon pongsona.) the merger with sorensen allowed ktgm to share resources with sorensen's radio stations, and thus allowed the k57 (kgum) news operations (which took on the name "pacific news center") to expand into television. ktgm's half-hour evening news began broadcasting in summer 2005, ending kuam's monopoly of local tv news since 1998. the pnc tv news is broadcast live nightly at 6 p.m., then rebroadcast on keqi at 7 and 10:30 p.m., as well as on ktgm after abc primetime programming at 10 p.m. lee soo-young (hangul: 이수영; born lee ji-yeon, hangul: 이지연 on april 12, 1979) is a south korean ballad singer. she debuted in 1999 with the hit album, "i believe", and quickly gained popularity due to her strong singing skills. during the mid-2000s, lee was one of south korea's best-selling singers, selling more than 700,000 albums in 2004 alone despite a recession in the music industry. in 2001, she sang the official korean version of the "final fantasy x" song “suteki da ne” in korean, titled “얼마나 좋을까” (“eolmana joheulkka”). she released her seventh album, "grace", on january 21, 2006. it performed very well, able to shoot straight to the top of the charts. the popularity of the album led to a limited edition (repackage) release of "grace", of which only 30,000 copies were produced. lee has performed the new song written by her titled "lavender" from her new album at the wedding ceremony of her close friend, park kyung-lim, seo min-jung. lee married her boyfriend of one year in october 2010. they have one son, who was born in july 2011. merlin is the narrator and main character in the second half of the chronicles of amber by american science fiction author roger zelazny. he is an incidental character in the first half of the series, eventually being revealed to be the listener to whom corwin relates the tale of his attempts to take the throne of amber, and dealing with the subsequent invasion from chaos. merlin has dark hair and light eyes. his colours are purple and gray, although he also uses the blue and gold colours of berkeley, where he studied computer science on shadow earth. merlin is the son of prince corwin of amber and lady dara of chaos. raised in the courts of chaos, merlin became interested in his father and amber after the patternfall war. in his youth, he studied magic in the courts of chaos and walked both the logrus and the pattern. after this, merlin travelled to shadow earth to study computer engineering, assuming the name merle corey. during his time in college, merlin made friends with a fellow student luke reynard who was, unbeknownst to merlin, his cousin rinaldo, son of brand. merlin combined his magical and computer skills to create ghostwheel, a powerful artificial intelligence with the ability to move itself and others through shadow. though merlin was targeted for many years by an unknown antagonist, he was content to remain on the shadow earth. however, he became suspicious when he discovered his ex-girlfriend was murdered by a creature from shadow, and his investigation was the catalyst for his choice to leave earth. during the course of his travels through shadow, he learned the identity of his nameless enemy, as well as that of his friends. with the rapid increase of his powers, the pattern and the logrus each attempted to persuade him to ally with amber or the courts of chaos, respectively. merlin has a very different personality than his father and, oddly enough considering his upbringing, considers himself to be a "regular guy". he lacks both the ruthlessness and the crudity of prince corwin, and seems to be almost allergic to ambition, a rare trait considering his parentage. merlin has two half-brothers named despil and jurt, sons from dara and duke sawall. jurt, believing merlin to be the favorite of their mother, tries several times to kill merlin; however, he usually ends up leaving some part of himself behind. merlin's magical skills are quite varied, owing to his unusual background. being of both chaos and amber, he is one of the few people to have traversed both the pattern and the logrus. in addition, he later walked corwin's pattern to give it additional power in the fight between order and chaos. as the son of the chaosian dara, merlin was trained in spell-casting, but he frequently relies on the objects he carries with him. frakir, a piece of rope enchanted during merlin's walk through the logrus, warns of danger and acts as a weapon. when the ghostwheel computer is completed, merlin occasionally "wears" it in the form of a bracelet. merlin eventually discovers a ring of great power called a spikard, and abandons frakir after frakir objects to the spikard. merlin also obtains an unusual set of trumps that contains many locations and individuals absent in a normal deck. merlin's other abilities include shape-shifting (a usual talent of the chaosians) and trump creation. he also uses the logrus emanation to reach into shadow and retrieve various objects, as well as "logrus sight" which enables him to see patterns of magic and dimensional anomalies. though he was trained in swordsmanship and other forms of combat, his talents are not found in those areas and he rarely uses purely physical means to fight. ghostwheel is a trump- and pattern-based computer constructed by merlin in a shadow where earth physics do not apply. by merlin's description ghostwheel's operations involve "a lot of theoretical crap involving space and time and some notions of some guys named everett and wheeler". ghostwheel speaks with merlin's voice, occasionally causing confusion, and usually takes the appearance of a spinning circle of light. ghostwheel usually addresses merlin as "dad." after finishing construction, merlin set ghostwheel to work indexing shadows in the same way that a search engine indexes the internet. similar to a search engine, ghostwheel can find, track, and retrieve objects from shadow; this includes the ability to move people and objects between shadows. ghostwheel operates by creating pseudo-trumps for every mutation of shadow and then searching them. merlin designed ghostwheel as a tool to be used by random, king of amber, for keeping watch on shadow for the protection of amber. when introduced to ghostwheel and its abilities, random was immediately struck by the construct's potentially dangerous power and ordered merlin to deactivate his creation. however, by this time ghostwheel had attained sentience and resisted shutdown. after regaining ghostwheel's trust, merlin came to rely heavily on his powerful creation, and ghostwheel features as a major subcharacter throughout merlin's saga. by the conclusion of the series, ghostwheel had developed enough that his support of merlin forced the pattern and the logrus to treat the pair as nominal equals rather than pawns. at one point, ghostwheel asks merlin whether it is a god. in the consideration of sentient machines with godlike resources for accessing and processing information, this draws interesting parallels to isaac asimov's short story "the last question". merlin also remarks that ghostwheel is certainly capable of passing the turing test, which is a test for a machine that can demonstrate the ability to convince an observer of a human-like personality. ghostwheel seems to take its name from gilgal refaim or rujm el-hiri, an ancient stone circle in the golan heights. gilgal refaim may have once been a pagan place of worship or calendar, similar to stonehenge. the name merlin refers to merlin, the character from arthurian legends. both were sorcerers who were imprisoned in a crystal cave, although the circumstances were somewhat different. wvum (90.5 fm) is a non-commercial alternative and electronic music college radio station at the university of miami in coral gables, florida united states, broadcasting over-the-air to greater miami and streaming online via internet radio. the station is owned by wvum, inc., a corporation owned by an advisory board composed of faculty and students at the university of miami. air talent and station management are university of miami students. most positions are volunteer but some management positions are paid. wvum is the flagship station of miami hurricanes sports, airing most events live with color commentary by the station's sports staff. in february 2011, wvum's sports department was invited to be the broadcasters on the university of miami's web stream broadcasts on hurricanesports.com. the station has been a featured presence at many local miami arts festivals, particularly at art basel miami beach and during ultra music festival along with miami music week. wvum is the noncommercial and fully student-run radio station broadcasting out of the university of miami. the station was founded in 1967 as a pirate radio station hidden in the eaton hall dormitory on the university's campus. wvum has since evolved into a licensed station with music programming (with a slight electronic bent), public affairs and news content and sports programs. licensed to coral gables, florida, wvum serves the university of miami and the surrounding communities. the station operates with 5.9 kilowatts directional and covers most of miami-dade county, as well as a stream of programming broadcast worldwide on wvum.org. in 1967, a group of engineering students in mahoney hall (a university of miami dormitory) created an unlicensed transmitter and began operating an illegal radio station. shortly after being discovered by the fcc, it was requested that they discontinue broadcasting. in order to amend relations, the university of miami decided to register the station and create what expanded to become wvum. so on february 1968, wvum received its license to broadcast a 10-watt non-commercial, educational radio station (it was barely enough power to be heard throughout the university campus). the station was located on the second floor of the whitten university center. the first call letters that was requested by the station to the fcc was wvoh (voice of hurricanes), later changed to wibs (ibis), which was later changed to and approved by the fcc as wvum (voice of the university of miami). over the years, the station's power level has increased from 35w erp to 365w erp, to 1.3kw erp, and finally to its present 5.9kw erp directional, away from a second adjacent channel station on 90.9, in the upper florida keys to the south. at the time, the radio station was technically licensed by the mahoney residence hall association, inc. as early support was provided by them. in the spring of 1977, mahoney residence hall association, inc changed its name to wvum, inc, the title it still holds today. wvum offers both rotation and specialty shows. rotation shows feature recent albums selected by the music directors and music staff, while specialty shows focus on a specific genre, style, or concept. the radio station also offers news, public affairs, and sports programming. wvum is the flagship station for miami hurricanes baseball. it also covers women's volleyball, and basketball and men's football and basketball. the news department produces hourly newscasts, featured news, public service announcements, and community outreach programs. while wvum has a corporate and advisory board consisting of staff advisors, the station is student-run by the main decision-making entity: the executive board, which consists of 14 students. the wvum staff focuses on programming, community involvement, and engaging with miami's art and music scene. the station's unofficial mascot is manny the manatee. listeners of wvum tend to be within the age range of 16 – 49 years old. the station's online stream is well above the average for college radio stations, and receives hits internationally. wvum works with many institutions in the miami music and arts scene. some of these organizations include but are not limited to: ultra music festival, sweat records, moma's wps1 art radio, the electric pickle, cmj, friends with you, poplife/grand central, nightdrive, freegums, museum of contemporary art (moca), iamyourvillain, miami art museum, the fillmore, the vagabond, ohwow, the overthrow, roofless records, scope art fair, wsva radio (nyc), and bardot. the station has been recognized by both the community and the press, as the miami new times’ reader’s choice as best fm radio station (2010/2009) and editor’s choice best fm radio station (2007/2006). zoom out has recognized wvum as one of the top noncommercial streaming radio stations in the country. in march 2011, the station was awarded mtvu's woodie award for "best college radio station". in 1972, wvum went stereo, and in 1978, the station completely renovated the studio facilities on the second floor of the whitten university center. the station would remain there until a larger space downstairs was renovated in 1999, offering two studios and an office. previously, this new space had been a barber shop (that went bankrupt in the later 1960s/early 1970s because of the hippy movement) and a bowling alley motor room. in 2008, for the 40th year of wvum, ikea aesthetically renovated the office in the university center. the summer of 2015 brought new renovations to wvum's office, modernizing it and increasing space substantially. in 1981, the fcc requested all 10-watt stations to increase to at least 100 watts. at that time, wvum made the necessary arrangements to increase to 365 watts. in 1993, the station expanded to 1,300 watts, and in 2013, to 5,900 watts. in 2000, the station began broadcasting online at wvum.org. university of miami events and news were the sole programming for wvum in the 1960s. community news programming and a top-40 radio format were introduced in the early 1970s, and the station changed to the underground programming in the early 1980s that focused on new wave and punk rock. in the 1990s, the station had a grunge period; today, wvum's format is largely reflective of the indie electronic and indie rock genres. as of spring 2019 (with genre in parentheses): el sol – a spanish phrase meaning "the sun" – may refer to: other uses: jason arthur leopold (born october 7, 1969) is an american senior investigative reporter for "buzzfeed news". he was previously an investigative reporter for "al jazeera america" and "vice news". he worked at "truthout" as a senior editor and reporter, a position he left after three years on february 19, 2008, to co-found the web-based political magazine "the public record", leopold's profile page on "the public record" now says he is editor-at-large. leopold returned to "truthout" as deputy managing editor in october 2009 and was made lead investigative reporter in 2012 before leaving truthout in may 2013. he makes extensive use of the freedom of information act to research stories. leopold has written stories on bp, enron, the california energy crisis, the bush administration's torture policies, and the plame affair. his pieces have been published in "the guardian", "asia times", the "los angeles times", "the wall street journal", "cbs marketwatch", "the nation", and "utne reader". he has also written about foreign and domestic policy online for publications such as "the guardian", "alternet, counterpunch, common dreams, "the huffington post", political affairs magazine, the raw story, scoop, znet" and others. leopold began his career in 1992, writing obituaries for "the reporter dispatch" newspaper in white plains, new york. he became the crime and courts reporter for the "whittier daily news" in 1997 and then moved to the city news service where he covered court trials. leopold next worked as a city editor and reporter for the "los angeles times". he then worked for dow jones newswires as its los angeles bureau chief. according to a "washington post" report, the press release for leopold's book "off the record" (published later as "news junkie") stated that "he says he was fired by the los angeles times 'for threatening to rip a reporter's head off'". leopold says he quit dow jones newswires in a dispute over his beat, but later learned the news service was planning to fire him because of a correction to one of his enron stories: "seems i got all of the facts wrong". leopold was later the us correspondent for 95bfm in auckland, new zealand. leopold was referred to as "one of the most aggressive reporters" on the california energy crisis by jill stewart, a columnist for the now-defunct "new times la" newspaper in los angeles. an article leopold wrote for "cbs marketwatch" about enron's role in the california energy crisis was cited during a floor speech by sen. dianne feinstein (d-california) and read into the congressional record on june 10, 2003, as congress was debating energy policy. leopold's reporting on enron was featured in a national public radio special broadcast, "blind trust." according to "publishers weekly", leopold was "one of the few reporters who'd actually interviewed enron president jeff skilling" following enron's bankruptcy in december 2001. in september 2002, following a two-week investigation, salon removed from its website an article authored by leopold about army secretary thomas e. white's role in the enron collapse, due to questions about the validity of an e-mail and allegations that portions of the article had not been adequately credited to the "financial times". the disputed e-mail was said to have been from white, telling the recipient to "close a bigger deal to hide the loss." according to salon, leopold's article "used seven full paragraphs amounting to 480 words, virtually verbatim, from the ft. there were two attributions to the ft within the passage, but they appeared to apply only to the specific sentences that contained them, not to the full passage." leopold later admitted that he had been careless by not providing the "ft" with additional credit, but insisted that "salon"s editors had all the relevant documents, including the disputed white email, before the story was published. paul krugman of "the new york times", who wrote a piece based in part on leopold's work, also had to backpedal, acknowledging that he should not have cited the e-mail. salon removed the story from its website and said that leopold had plagiarized text from the "ft", but the article remains in the nexis archives. leopold said he had slightly misquoted the email, which should have read "close a bigger deal. hide the loss before the 1q". white denied sending the email in a letter he sent to "the new york times", and when salon's editors contacted leopold's source, the source denied speaking to him. "the village voice" reported, "obviously, leopold made mistakes, but it's not at all clear they justify a full repudiation of the story or a revocation of his journalistic license. as paul krugman told the "voice", 'everything else in that story checked out. the substance of his reporting was entirely correct. commenting on the case, kerry lauerman of "salon" said that "leopold definitely represents the dark side of the web ... he became this sort of hero for throngs of people online". prior to the publication of "news junkie", leopold's book was titled "off the record". the book's publisher, according to "the washington post" report, said the book has been dropped for "business reasons". the "post" wrote that it was canceled following reported legal threats from steven maviglio, the press secretary to former governor gray davis, who, according to the manuscript, invested in energy companies using inside information. the author of the "washington post" story about leopold's book, howard kurtz, was featured in "news junkie". leopold called him "lazy". in the book, leopold also revealed many secrets about his life such as a prior drug addiction, bouts with mental illness and suicide attempts. he also disclosed how he lied to employers about a criminal conviction for larceny that took place when leopold was in his 20s and working in the record business. "publishers weekly" wrote of "news junkie" that "while there's a lot of lying admitted to in this scrappy memoir, from leopold's hiding of his criminal past to his playing of sources to get his scoops, it's (probably) not an untruthful memoir—indeed, it might become required reading for aspiring journalists." the book was on the los angeles times' bestsellers / paperbacks list on june 11, 2006 and july 16, 2006. on may 13, 2006, leopold reported on "truthout" that karl rove had been indicted by the grand jury investigating the plame affair. rove spokesman mark corallo denied the story, calling it "a complete fabrication". "truthout" vigorously defended the story saying variously that it had two or three "independent sources", before the executive director, marc ash, issued a statement apologizing for “getting too far out in front of the news-cycle”. the grand jury concluded with no indictment of rove. in his memoir, "courage and consequence", karl rove addressed the leopold article. rove writes that leopold is a "nut with internet access" and that "thirty-five reporters called [robert] luskin or corallo to ask about the "truthout" report". according to rove, "fitzgerald got a kick out of the fictitious account and e-mailed luskin to see how he felt after such a long day". leopold's investigative reporting on safety issues at bp has been cited by cnn, "60 minutes" and the "los angeles times". "60 minutes" cited a report by leopold, published at "truthout" as a source for their episode on may 16, 2010, about the bp oil spill and the whistleblower who was warning about a possible blowout at another bp deepwater drilling site. digital journal wrote up the story and also cited the "truthout" report. cnn's randi kaye in an article also cited a report by leopold on mark kovak's inside knowledge about the safety concerns at the prudhoe bay, alaska bp oil field. on july 8, 2010, "los angeles times" reporter kim murphy cited leopold's investigation into neglect and cost-cutting practices at alyeska pipeline in her report on the resignation of alyeska's ceo one day after leopold's report was published at "truthout". on july 14, 2010, the united states house of representatives committee on transportation and infrastructure held a hearing in the subcommittee on railroads, pipelines and hazardous materials. the hearing, titled "the safety of hazardous liquid pipelines (part 2): integrity management," cited an investigative report by leopold, published at "truthout" as a document for the committee's investigation. in 2011, truthout featured a story by leopold about religious material used by the us air force in the training of officers on the ethics of nuclear war. the material, obtained by the military religious freedom foundation from freedom of information act requests, includes slides quoting the bible supporting the act of war and characters from the bible fighting what the slides refer to as just wars, as well as quotes from former nazi wernher von braun. the air force removed the material from its training regime a day after leopold's story was published, with david smith, chief of public affairs of air education and training command, telling leopold (the material) "has been taken out of the curriculum and is being reviewed," and "the commander reviewed it and decided we needed to have a good hard look at it and make sure it reflected views of modern society." in 2010 leopold and psychologist and human rights worker jeffrey kaye requested information on the use of psycho-active drugs on guantanamo captives. captives and former captives had been reporting medical staff collaborating with interrogators to drug captives with powerful psychoactive drugs prior to interrogation since the very first captives release. the report from the pentagon inspector general was declassified, and in which the pentagon concludes that the injections were flu shots, iv hydration (sometimes post-hunger strike), and medical treatment with or without consent, and "were not mind-altering drugs for interrogation purposes". the report does say that a detainee was given a routine flu shot, and was told that the shot was a truth serum or hallucinogen "as a ruse". leopold worked at vice news from 2014 to 2017. his prolific use of the freedom of information act has caused him to be labeled a "foia terrorist". he is the journalist whose freedom of information act lawsuit forced the state department to release all of hillary clinton's emails on a monthly basis. he has been widely noted in the media as responsible for sensitive information disclosures including abusive treatment of prisoners at guantanamo bay. on 18 january 2019, leopold co-authored an explosive report that alleged donald trump directed his personal lawyer michael d. cohen to lie to congress about the moscow tower project, a construction deal at the heart of an investigation by the special counsel robert s. mueller iii. the report attracted attention because such an action by trump would constitute a felony. democratic congressmen publicly mused impeachment. the report came under scrutiny, however, after mueller broke precedent by issuing a denial, and other news organizations were unable to corroborate the findings with reports of their own. the washington post opined that michael cohen's testimony to the house oversight committee largely confirmed the thrust of the report but contradicted key details. after its release, national review noted that the mueller report directly refutes leopold's buzzfeed article, saying "evidence available to us does not establish that the president directed or aided cohen’s false testimony." leopold is an emmy nominated producer, the recipient of the foi award from investigative reporters and editors and a member of the team awarded the tom renner award in 2018 from investigative reporters and editors, and a member of the team named a finalist for the pulitzer prize in international reporting. leopold was inducted into the national freedom of information hall of fame by the newseum institute in 2016. his stories have appeared three times on project censored's top-25 under-reported stories of the year: once in 2004, for a story he wrote about an alleged secret meeting arnold schwarzenegger had with ken lay prior to the film star's being elected governor of california, for a story he wrote on halliburton in 2005, and again in 2011 for a story he wrote on a controversial "spiritual fitness test" the army required all of its enlisted soldiers. in 2008, leopold received the thomas jefferson award from the military religious freedom foundation. the flag of republika srpska was adopted on 24 november 1992. the flag is a rectangular tricolour with three equal horizontal bands of red, blue and white. while the constitutional court of bosnia and herzegovina declared the coat of arms of republika srpska unconstitutional, claiming that it did not represent the non-serb ethnicities living in the entity, the flag was deemed to be in line with the constitution. the court ruled that though the combination of the colours relates to the serbian tricolor, the use of red, blue and white are considered to be pan-slavic colours as well. the serb tricolor has been used as the basis for other flags, most notably as serbia's national flag. montenegro has also used the serbian tricolor with varying shades of blue. under communist yugoslavia, the republics of serbia and montenegro had flags of same design and colors. montenegro changed its flag in 1993 by altering the proportion and shade of blue in its flag and used this flag until 2004. the serbian tricolor was also the basis for the republic of serbian krajina. the serbian tricolor defaced with a serbian cross is used as the flag of the serbian orthodox church. the republika srpska's flag is popular among many bosnian serbs and they prefer to fly it or the serbian flag instead of the bosnian national flag. hermann billung (900 or 912 – 27 march 973) was the margrave of the billung march from 936 until his death. the first of the saxon house of billung, hermann was a trusted lieutenant of otto i, holy roman emperor. though never duke of saxony himself, while otto (who was the enthroned duke of saxony) was in italy from 961 until 972, hermann served as otto's personal representative in governing saxony. towards the end of his life, hermann was the effective duke in all but name. hermann died in 973, just two months before otto's own death. hermann's son bernard i was named as the new duke of saxony by otto i's son otto ii, the new holy roman emperor. hermann was probably the son of billung. he was the younger brother of the saxon count wichmann the elder. hermann is generally counted as the first billung duke ("herzog") of saxony, but his exact position is unclear. the ducal ottonian dynasty had risen to german royalty with the accession of henry the fowler in 919 and had to concentrate on countrywide affairs. at least in 961, when king otto i of germany marched against the kingdom of italy for the second time, he made hermann the administrator ("procurator regis") in his saxon lands. when in 936 king otto i had ascended the throne, he appointed hermann a margrave ("princeps militiae"), granting him the saxon march north of the elbe river. his billung march stretched from the "limes saxoniae" in the west along the baltic coast to the peene river in the east, roughly corresponding with the later mecklenburg region. otto thereby disregarded the claims of hermann's elder brother count wichmann, a brother-in-law of queen dowager matilda. wichmann in turn joined the unsuccessful rebellion of king otto's half-brother thankmar and duke eberhard of franconia in 938. having more autonomy than the contemporary margrave gero ruling over the adjacent "marca geronis" in the south, hermann exacted tribute from the local polabian slavs of the obotrite tribal federation. upon his brother's death in 944, he also became count in the saxon bardengau around the town of lüneburg, where he founded the monastery of st michael in that city. he again disregarded the inheritance claims raised by his nephews wichmann the younger and egbert the one-eyed. in 953 both joined the countrywide rebellion started by king otto's younger brother duke liudolf of swabia, which only collapsed due to the massive invasion of hungarian forces. during this grave crisis, the king, who was also duke of saxony, began entrusting more and more of his authority in the saxon lands to hermann during his absences. however, hermann was never named "dux" in royal documents. instead, he is named as a military leader, count, and margrave. his position was solidified, when on 2 february 962 king otto was crowned holy roman emperor in rome by pope john xii. hermann was received like a king by archbishop adalbert of magdeburg in 972, which even annoyed the emperor. he may have been the founder of the hermannsburg locality in the lüneburg heath, first mentioned in 1059. hermann died in quedlinburg. his son bernard inherited and strengthened his father's position and managed to be recognized as duke. hermann billung perhaps was married twice: according to the chronicles of st michael's abbey in lüneburg, a countess oda died on 15 march in an unknown year after 973, the xanten annals noted the death of one "ode", spouse of duke hermann, on the same day. she probably was related to the royal ottonian dynasty; henry the fowler's grandmother was named oda (herself a member of the billung dynasty), which was also the name of his sister. a second wife "hildesuith" or hildegard of westerburg is mentioned in the chronicles, but her relation to oda remains unclear. hildegard was also the name of the spouse of hermann's son bernard. the name of hermann's granddaughter oda of meissen suggests that oda was the mother of his children. he had five children: cari lekebusch (born 1972) is a swedish electronic music producer and dj based in stockholm. his productions range from techno to hip hop. he owns a record label, h. productions, founded and managed by himself. the original name of the record label was hybrid productions, but a legal twist in 1998 with the japanese label avex trax's british group hybrid forced lekebusch to change his record label name to its present name. his studio is called hp hq (hybrid production headquarters). in the early 1990s lekebusch became a member of the stockholm-based remix service group swemix that at that time had notable members as denniz pop and stonebridge (which is called the grandfather of swedish house music). after a while lekebusch started to venture out from remixing other artists to create his own music that became not even nearly as mainstream as swemix productions and at the same time lekebusch really started to explore techno and electronica. lekebusch left the remix group not long after. since the early-mid 1990s he has collaborated with adam beyer, robert leiner, alexi delano, thomas krome, jesper dahlbäck, joel mull, mark williams and many more. cari has been in the constellation kozmic gurt brodhas (aka kgb), the two other members are abi lönnberg and david roiseux. recently lekebusch has also started to produce other artist as well with music leaning more towards hip-hop with electronic influences, two being max peezay and nfl kru. cari lekebusch has recorded under many aliases like agent orange, braincell, cerebus, crushed insect, fred, fred to the midwest, kari pekka, magenta, mr. barth, mr. james barth, mystic letter k, phunkey rhythm doctor, rotortype, rubberneck, shape changer, sir jeremy augustus hutley of granith hall, szerementa programs, the mantis, vector, and yakari. some of cari's early musical influences are afrika bambaata, kraftwerk, james brown, mantronix, herbie hancock, ralph lundsten and egyptian lover. iron(ii) acetate is a coordination complex with formula fe(cho). it is a white solid, although impure samples can be slightly colored. a light green tetrahydrate is also known, which is highly soluble in water. iron powder reacts with hot acetic acid to give the product: it adopts a polymeric structure with octahedral fe(ii) centers bridged by acetate ligands. it is not a ionic compound. the hydrate can be made by the reaction of ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide with acetic acid. reaction of scrap iron with acetic acid affords a brown mixture of various iron(ii) and iron(iii) acetates that are used in dyeing. ferrous acetate is used as a mordant by the dye industry. ebonizing wood is one such process. the law of truly large numbers (a statistical adage), attributed to persi diaconis and frederick mosteller, states that with a large enough number of samples, any outrageous (i.e. unlikely in any single sample) thing is likely to be observed. because we never find it notable when likely events occur, we highlight unlikely events and notice them more. the law is often used to falsify different pseudo-scientific claims, as such it and its use is sometimes criticized by fringe scientists. the law is meant to make a statement about probabilities and statistical significance: in large enough masses of statistical data, even minuscule fluctuations attain statistical significance. thus in truly large numbers of observations, it is paradoxically easy to find significant correlations, in large numbers, which still do not lead to causal theories (see: spurious correlation), and which by their collective number, might lead to obfuscation as well. the law can be rephrased as "large numbers also deceive", something which is counter-intuitive to a descriptive statistician. more concretely, skeptic penn jillette has said, "million-to-one odds happen eight times a day in new york" (population about 8,000,000). for a simplified example of the law, assume that a given event happens with a probability for its occurrence of 0.1%, within a single trial. then, the probability that this so-called unlikely event does "not" happen (improbability) in a single trial is 99.9% (0.999). already for a sample of 1000 independent trials, however, the probability that the event "does not" happen in any of them, even once (improbability), is only 0.999 ≈ 0.3677 = 36.77%. then, the probability that the event does happen, at least once, in 1000 trials is or 63.23%. this means that this "unlikely event" has a probability of 63.23% of happening if 1000 independent trials are conducted, or over 99.9% for 10,000 trials. the probability that it happens at least once in 10,000 trials is in other words, a highly unlikely event, given enough trials with some fixed number of draws per trial, is even more likely to occur. this calculation can be generalized, formalized to use in straightforward mathematical proof that: ""the probability c for the less likely event x to happen in n independent trials can become arbitrarily near to 1, no matter how small the probability a of the event x in one single trial is, provided that n is truly large."" the law comes up in criticism of pseudoscience and is sometimes called the jeane dixon effect (see also postdiction). it holds that the more predictions a psychic makes, the better the odds that one of them will "hit". thus, if one comes true, the psychic expects us to forget the vast majority that did not happen (confirmation bias). humans can be susceptible to this fallacy. another similar (to some degree) manifestation of the law can be found in gambling, where gamblers tend to remember their wins and forget their losses, even if the latter far outnumbers the former (though depending on a particular person, the opposite may also be truth when they think they need more analysis of their losses to achieve fine tuning of their playing system). mikal aasved links it with "selective memory bias", allowing gamblers to mentally distance themselves from the consequences of their gambling by holding an inflated view of their real winnings (or losses in the opposite case - "selective memory bias in either direction"). the park is a 2003 hong kong horror film originally released in 3-d. the film was directed and produced by andrew lau. the film was shown at the 2004 sundance film festival as part of the midnight screenings. 14 years ago, a girl fell to her death from the ferris wheel in an amusement park and the park's owner hanged himself from the wheel. the park has been closed down by the government since then. alan, a reporter, travels to the park out of curiosity and disappears after being pulled underground by an unseen force. alan's sister, yen, decides to enter the deserted park to search for her brother. yen's mother, a ghostbuster who captures spirits with a magic camera, tells yen that she knows alan is dead and asks yen not to find him. however, yen insists that alan is still alive and she goes to the park against her mother's will, bringing along six of her friends (ka-ho, dan, yy, ken, pinky and shan). they meet the park's caretaker, a weird-looking old man, who shouts at them to leave, warning them that the park is haunted. they do not believe him and return to the park again at night, thinking that the old man is asleep. while waiting, ka-ho tells them that he heard that the park used to be a cemetery before it was built. strange things start to happen when they split up to find alan. ka-ho sees something on his camera recorder and follows it into the haunted house. one hour later, when everyone comes back to the meeting point, they see that ka-ho is missing too. they split up into two groups again to find him. ken and pinky take a ride on the carousel but it starts spinning at a fast speed on its own. ken manages to jump off the carousel but accidentally knocks pinky out in the process. shan is left behind with pinky while ken runs away in fear and almost dies from being drowned by a ghost. his crucifix saves him but does not prevent him from being decapitated on a wire later on. pinky is possessed and dies after slitting her wrist. shan is apparently killed after being strangled by the possessed pinky but his lucky charm saves him. yen, yy and dan enter the haunted house and the wax figures inside come to life and attack them. yy is killed by the figurines while dan dies after being set on fire by the ghosts. only yen is left alive and she weeps over yy's body, while the possessed caretaker approaches her from behind with an axe. before he can kill her, yen's mother arrives and starts to fight the evils. she is possessed by the demon and she asks yen to capture the demon with her magic camera, which yen does reluctantly. yen's mother dies and before dying, she asks yen to snap pictures of her deceased friends and other victims, and burn the photos to put them to rest. yen is also briefly re-united with her deceased brother. at the last moment, shan appears and reveals that he had been saved by his lucky charm. in the epilogue, yen is seen taking over her late mother's duties as a ghostbuster while shan continues to work as a car mechanic. when yen calls shan at work, shan does not answer as he is killed mysteriously after being crushed by a car. in fact, the demon had survived in their group photo and it returns to haunt yen as the film ends. heather bishop, (born april 25, 1949) is a canadian folk singer-songwriter primarily known for her work as a social justice advocate and in the field of folk music and children's music. for her dedication to social justice she has been awarded the order of canada, the order of manitoba and an honourary doctorate of laws among many other awards. born in regina, saskatchewan on april 25, 1949, bishop studied piano as a child, began playing the guitar in her teens, and later took voice lessons in winnipeg with alicja seaborn. she earned a ba (regina) in 1969. after performing in the early 1970s with the all-women dance band walpurgis night, first as a pianist and then as a singer, she began a solo career at the 1976 regina folk festival. after more than four decades of crooked miles, heather bishop has deduced that she is an alchemist and metaphysical artist. her work transforms beliefs while simultaneously rooting you in the truth that magic is afoot. armed with only her steel string guitar and rich voice she has traveled the world leaving beauty and light in her wake. in 1979 she created one of the first independent music labels in canada, releasing 15 multi award-winning recordings. before launching her career in music, heather began as a visual artist, studying fine arts at the university of regina. after graduating in 1969, she began a life long love affair with oil paint and, although touring kept her from her easel, she has returned to her wonderland of colours. a published author, her first book, "my face is a map of my time here", is a hardcover edition of her artwork. heather’s most recent recording is entitled "the montreal sessions". any spare time finds heather plying one of the many trades skills she possesses: building a house or wiring a barn or being an innovator in green building techniques. heather bishop has dedicated herself to activism and, for her life's work, has received the order of canada, the order of manitoba, and an honorary doctorate of laws. most recently she was called upon to sit on the independent advisory board for senate appointments. retiring from music, heather has continued to live many lifetimes in her current avatar, morphing most recently into an educator, keynote speaker, and master hypnotherapist. a singer of considerable power and warmth, bishop emerged in the 1980s as one of canada's leading performers in both feminist and children's music. bishop has been active in the folk community since the late 1960s. she has appeared at dozens of folk festivals including her inaugural appearance at the 1976 winnipeg folk festival, london, ontario's home county folk festival, and has been a staple at numerous international children's festivals in both canada and the united states. heather was a regular guest performer on the internationally acclaimed fred penner show. in 1976 she founded mother of pearl records. she recorded her first children's album, "belly button: a collection of songs for children" in 1982, and has 15 albums to her credit, including juno nominations for her 1987 a taste of the blues and her 1997 "chickee's on the run". bishop is also a prominent social activist, championing such causes as social justice, labour unions, environmentalism, lgbt rights, animal rights, and children's safety. she was made a member of the order of canada in 2005, the order of manitoba (2001), an honorary doctor of laws degree from brandon university (2011), and her majesty the queen's diamond jubilee medal (2012). waterworks is a card game created by parker brothers in 1972, named for the space water works in the game "monopoly". the game pieces consist of: a deck of 110 pipe cards, a bathtub-shaped card tray, and 10 small metal wrenches. the object is for each player to create a pipeline of a designated length that begins with a valve and ends with a spout. players race to be the first to complete a continuous, leak-free pipeline that connects their valve card to their spout card, while opposing players try to give them leaks that must be fixed. players begin with a hand of five pipe cards and two wrenches. cards used in play are lead pipe cards, copper pipe cards (invulnerable to leaks), and lead pipe cards that are already leaky. the valve card is placed on the table to begin a player's pipeline. the spout card is set aside until it is used by a player who has completed their pipeline, and then immediately the player ends the game by placing the spout aimed down toward the player. a number of different pipe shapes (l-bends, t-pipes, straight, etc.) are represented in the game. leaky pipes can only be added to the end or over the last piece of another player's pipeline, and players cannot add to their pipeline until leaks are repaired. leaks are repaired by either placing an intact pipe of the same shape over the leak or placing a wrench on the leak card. repaired pipes cannot leak again. play proceeds clockwise and new cards are drawn after cards are played. players always have the option of exchanging a single card rather than playing a card. the minimum length of the pipeline required to win varies by the number of players, as follows: winning moves games has reissued the game as "classic waterworks". kgtf, virtual and vhf digital channel 12, is a public broadcasting service (pbs) member television station serving the u.s. territory of guam that is licensed to hagåtña. the station is owned by the guam educational telecommunications corporation, an agency of the territorial government. kgtf's studios are located in mangilao, adjacent to guam community college, and its transmitter is located on mount barrigada in barrigada. the station signed on the air on october 30, 1970, with only 4½ hours of programming monday through friday, of which they would later expand throughout its nearly 40-year history, including producing local shows and various projects. pbs guam received pbs' overhaul branding in late-november 2019. kgtf currently operates from 6 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. the station's digital signal is multiplexed: joachim wilhelm robert feulgen (2 september 1884 – 24 october 1955) was a german physician and chemist who, in 1914, developed a method for staining dna (now known as the feulgen stain) and who also discovered plant and animal nuclear dna (""thymonucleic acid"") congeniality. the central sulawesi christian church () is the largest christian church in central sulawesi, indonesia. it belongs to the reformed family of churches. the church was established in the early 1893 through the mission work of the dutch reformed church (— a.c. kruyt and n. adriani — ) and became an independent denomination in 1947 when indonesia declared its independence from the netherlands and ordered all dutch nationals to go home. november 1993, there was in tentena a celebration feast for 100 years christianity. according to the 2004 statistics the gkst (central sulawesi christian church) now has over 342 congregations and 160,000 members spread throughout the province of central sulawesi as well as the northern part of south sulawesi province. the church is headquartered in the town of tentena, at the northern end of lake poso. in 2006 the church had 188 000 members and 376 congregations served by 625 pastors. on 29 october 2005 three girls who attended the church's school were found beheaded near poso. the girls were killed by six unidentified assailants while on their way to class. the victims were identified as yarni sambue (15), theresia morangke (16), and alfita poliwo (17). police obtained the descriptions of events and the attackers from a survivor, noviana malewa (15), who suffered wounds to her face and is in intensive care. the murdered girls are all cousins of noviana malewa, who has not been told of their deaths. the girls' bodies were found at the scene of the attack — near a cocoa plantation — and their heads were found at separate locations; one near a church. reverend renaldy damanik heads the synod of the central sulawesi christian church. rev. damanik has been instrumental in attempts to stop the violence that continues to disrupt the lives of both christians and muslims since december 1998. the incident described above is only one of many that has occurred in the years since then. the church is affiliated with the world communion of reformed churches. the sevier orogeny was a mountain-building event that affected western north america from canada to the north to mexico to the south. the sevier orogeny was the result of convergent boundary tectonic activity between approximately 140 million years (ma) ago and 50 ma. the sevier river area of central utah is the namesake of this event. this orogeny was produced by the subduction of the oceanic farallon plate underneath the continental north american plate. crustal thickening that led to mountain building was caused by a combination of compressive forces and conductive heating initiated by subduction in the sevier region which caused folding and thrusting. the mountains that were formed as a result were located in western utah and eastern nevada. the size, shape, and depth of the thrust faults created in the sevier event are determined by seismic studies and deep well data because they are mostly still buried by overlying rock and sediment. the sevier and laramide orogenies ended when subduction along the western edge of north america was overcome by western extension of the north american plate to start the basin and range orogeny. the well known and familiar basin and range faults cut the older sevier thrust faults. the sevier orogeny was preceded by several other mountain-building events including the nevadan orogeny, the sonoman orogeny, and the antler orogeny, and partially overlapped in time and space with the laramide orogeny. since the sevier and laramide orogenies occurred at similar times and places, they are sometimes confused. in general the sevier orogeny defines a more western compressional event that took advantage of weak bedding planes in overlying paleozoic and mesozoic sedimentary rock. as the crust was shortened, pressure was transferred eastward along the weak sedimentary layers, producing “thin-skinned” thrust faults that generally get younger to the east. in contrast, the laramide orogeny produced “basement-cored” uplifts that often took advantage of pre-existing faults that formed during rifting in the late precambrian during the breakup of the supercontinent rodinia or during the ancestral rocky mountains orogeny. the sevier orogenic belt consisted of a series of thin plates along gently dipping west thrust sheets and moving from west to east. these thin skinned thrusts moved late precambrian to mesozoic age rock of the cordilleran passive margin east. the sevier meets the laramide orogenic belt on its eastern side. the sevier and laramide combination is similar to the modern day andean margin in chile. they are comparable because the younger laramide faults and structures were a geometric response to the shallow dipping sevier thrusts. the location of the eastern edge of the sevier orogeny was determined by conglomerates largely made up of boulders that would have been shed from the eastern and steepest edge of the rising mountains. such conglomerates can be seen throughout utah in echo canyon, the red narrows in spanish fork canyon, and in leamington canyon near delta, utah. today sevier faults at the surface have been broken up and tilted steeply from their original gently dipping positions due to the extension of the basin and range faulting. the earliest thrusts of the sevier are located furthest west with each newer thrust cutting the older thrust. this pattern caused the older thrusts to ride on top of the younger thrusts as they moved eastward. the paris-willard thrust in utah was determined to be the oldest thrust in the series using this pattern. the youngest thrust is the hogback in wyoming. the sevier thrust belt in utah can be divided in two, north of salt lake city and south of salt lake city. the thrusts to the north are much better understood because oil and gas are often associated with them. the northern portion runs through present day utah, idaho, and wyoming. the southern portion stops around las vegas. the total crustal shortening of the northern portion was roughly 60 miles. the sevier belt left behind many distinctive geologic features in the wyoming and utah region, namely recesses and salients. transverse zones can accompany thrust faults connecting the segments of the belt. one such zone is the charleston transverse zone linking the provo salient to the southern arm of the uinta/cottonwood arch. although the uinta/cottonwood arch is a laramide structure the sevier helped the arch form. another important zone is the mount raymond transverse zone connecting the wyoming salient and the northern arm of the arch. while continental margins are typically the most deformed in orogenic events, the interior of continental plates can also deform. in the sevier-laramide orogenic events evidence for interior plate deformation includes folds, cleavage and joint fabrics, distorted fossils, persistent faulting, and calcite twinning. the sevier fold and thrust belt was active between late jurassic through eocene time. the actual age of initiation of the belt is not entirely agreed upon by researchers. the beginning of deformation in the earliest stages of the orogeny started about 120-80 ma (millions of years ago) with the formation and continuation of a magmatic arc and foreland fold-thrust belt. however, data from the southern portion of the belt shows contraction in southern nevada and southeastern california beginning about 200 to 92 ma largely based on intrusions and the formation of the lavinia wash conglomerate sequence due to mountain building and erosion. this deformation continued and intensified around 105 to 100 ma caused by the continued subduction of the farallon plate beneath the north american plate. deformation spread eastward starting around 80 to 75 ma. at this time the elevated crust ran into the colorado plateau. the collision resulted in lateral spreading of deformation and led to a weakened lithosphere and crustal thickening. metamorphism due to the crustal heating and thickening is prevalent between 90 and 70 ma in the present great basin region. parallel thrust faults and folds make up a fold-thrust belt on a regional scale. at the local scale segments of the belt are connected by transverse zones. the charleston transverse zone mentioned earlier runs perpendicular to the thrust faults within the sevier belt. it has been debated among geologists if this transverse zone developed during the sevier orogeny or the uinta/cottonwood arch formation during the laramide orogeny. mapping sevier thrusting in the basin and range province suggests sevier structures curve around the uinta/cottonwood arch defining the uinta recess. looking closely at sevier faults in american fork canyon indicate that these faults are the oldest in the charleston transverse zone suggested by cross cutting relationships observed in the area. the basin and range province extending across nevada, into western utah, and south into mexico now consists of n-s normal faulting due to crustal extension. if these normal faults show any extension in late eocene to early miocene, this could be evidence the sevier orogenic event collapsing after deactivation. thickening of the crust due to sevier and laramide faulting is thought to have led to current basin and range extension throughout the cenozoic. this could have caused the charleston thrust fault to reactivate as an extensional fault. the charleston transverse zone contained high angle faults which suggests it initiated as a response to connecting the low angle thrust faults of the sevier. the charleston transverse zone outlines a main sidewall ramp that would have been part of the sevier belt. to the north of the uinta/cottonwood arch during the sevier orogeny there was a basement high area gently dipping to the north identified by isopach maps. thus sediment thickened quickly to the south. to the north strata changed gradually throughout the thrust and a gradual curve developed around the wyoming salient and to the south around the provo salient. the charleston and mount raymond transverse zones formed the uinta recess indicating the recess was initiated during the sevier orogeny. the results were interpreted to support the charleston transverse zone forming during the sevier orogeny to accommodate geometric changes along strike of the thrusts. the zone served as a linking tool of the various segments of the orogeny. the transverse zone varied throughout the region in terms of depth and displacement. the zone was later tilted and was reactivated through crustal extension. results also support the uinta recess forming during the sevier orogeny due to similar geometric crustal accommodation. displacement on sevier aged thrust faults caused the shaping of the curvature of the uinta recess prior to uplift of the uinta/cottonwood arch. focusing on the southern portion of the sevier thrust belt many thrust faults can be found. one thrust system is known as the garden valley thrust system in the central nevada thrust belt. thrusts within this system include the pahranagat, mount irish, and golden gate thrusts. these thrusts were correlated with the southward gass peak thrust. the gass peak thrust is located in the las vegas range and is a sevier age structure. this thrust may have been responsible for the largest slip of the major belt along that latitude. these thrusts were located all along the same strike. this region showed small scale extension in the cenozoic due to reactivation of the thrusts. such a correlation suggests that the garden valley thrust system has a direct link to the sevier thrust belt. the interpretation of this data led to the central nevada thrust belt as being an interior section of the sevier. this correlation provides evidence that the sevier thrust belt was a result of compression moving eastward through the north american plate. thinning of the cordilleran has previously been thought to be evidence and reason for flat subduction in the sevier and laramide orogenic events. however, isotopic data suggests that preservation of cordilleran lithosphere implies cordilleran thinning is not a sufficient answer for sevier and laramide flat subduction. this implies thinning and shearing of the cordilleran was confined to the fore-arc region. data suggests throughout the sevier-laramide thrusting the crust was also uplifted and extended. the modern chilean subduction is thought to be a parallel model of the sevier and laramide events so there are possibly answers to this question in this modern model. explanations may include a combination of plate motion rates increasing, the underriding oceanic plate becoming younger as the older portion subducts, and thus the underriding plate being hotter and more buoyant. a study on calcite twinning and carbonate relationships with the sevier orogenic belt showed that shortening directions were parallel to the thrust faulting, which was an e-w direction. differential stress magnitudes determined from calcite twinning showed a decreasing trend exponentially toward the craton. differential stresses causing compressional deformation in the sevier thrust were greater than 150 mpa. the e-w contraction during the sevier changed to roughly n-s oblique during the laramide orogenic event. sevier shortening has been recorded throughout much of the western united states as far east as minnesota in the cretaceous greenhorn limestone as preserved by calcite twinning. the distance of stress transfer is roughly equivalent to more than 2000 km. the e-w shortening shown in calcite twinning of the sevier is parallel to today's principal stresses in the western interior of the north american plate. the eastern fence lizard ("sceloporus undulatus") is a medium-sized species of lizard in the family phrynosomatidae. the species is found along forest edges, rock piles, and rotting logs or stumps in the eastern united states. it is sometimes referred to as the prairie lizard, fence swift, gray lizard, northern fence lizard or pine lizard. it is also referred to colloquially as the horn-billed lizard. the generic name, "sceloporus", is derived from the greek "skelos"/σκελος, meaning "leg", and the latin "porus", meaning "hole", referring to the enlarged femoral pores found in this genus of lizards. the specific name, "undulatus", is latin for "wave", referring to the transverse dark crossbars on the backs of these lizards. until 2002, 10 subspecies of "s. undulatus" were recognized:, but re-evaluation showed paraphyly between the subspecies. these were reclassified as four distinct evolutionary species (the three new species being "s. consobrinus", "s. tristichus", and "s. cowlesi"). the narrowed redefinition of "s. undulatus" has been suggested to still contain two subspecies divided by the appalachian mountains. none is currently formally recognized. the following cladogram is based on leache and reeder, 2002: the eastern fence lizard is found in florida, alabama, louisiana, arkansas, colorado, georgia, north carolina, south carolina, west virginia, virginia, kentucky, southern illinois, southern indiana, tennessee, ohio, pennsylvania, maryland, missouri, mississippi, delaware, northern florida, southern wyoming, southern new jersey, and southeastern new york. the eastern fence lizard can grow from 4.0 to 7.5 inches (10 to 19 cm) in total length (including tail). it is typically colored in shades of gray or brown, and has keeled scales, with a dark line running along the rear of the thigh. a female is usually gray and has a series of dark, wavy lines across her back. the belly is white with black flecks, with some pale blue on the throat and belly. the male is usually brown, and during the summer, has a more greenish-blue and black coloration on the sides of the belly and throat than the female. the young look like the females, but are darker and duller. they closely resemble the western fence lizard, but differ slightly in coloration and live in a different area and habitat. within the past 70 years, according to a study published in 2009, eastern fence lizards in parts of their range have adapted to have longer legs and new behaviors to escape the red imported fire ant, which can kill the lizard in under a minute. red imported fire ants threaten eastern fence lizards because they occupy their microhabitats causing mortality or relocation. moreover, according to a study published in 2016, artificial eastern fence lizard nests were shown to be vulnerable to predation by red imported fire ants, resulting in nonviability of the eggs. eastern fence lizards mate in spring, and lay 3 to 16 eggs in late spring or early summer. the young hatch in summer and fall. male fence lizards often do "push-ups" to attract mates and to warn other males encroaching on their territory. c. h. v. oliva, 226 f.3d 198 (3d cir. 2000), was a religious freedom case in which mother carol hood sued grace oliva, her son zachary's first grade teacher, and related administrators in the medford township public schools for not allowing the child to read a section of the bible in class. his kindergarten class had made thanksgiving paintings the year prior, and his was taken down and subsequently reposted in a less noticeable place for its religious content. the poster was called "i'm thankful for jesus." carol hood met with principal gail pratt, who defended the school's decisions. she said that reading the story “was the equivalent of ‘praying’.” noting that she had received complaints in the past, ms. pratt stated that the story “might upset muslim, hindu or jewish students.” she added that there was “no place in the public school for the reading of the bible” and advised: “ ‘ you should consider taking your child out of public school, since you don't appear to be public school material.’ ” ms. pratt noted that “her position was fully supported by various legal authorities.” the district court judge ruled that the teacher had exercised reasonable judgment in refusing to allow the book to be read in class. he agreed with the lower court that a first grader would not be able to distinguish between a student reading the bible as constitutionally-protected free expression, and the teacher endorsing a religion by interrupting class to allow him to read it. under the establishment clause, other students have a right to be free from religious endorsement by the government. supreme court justice samuel alito, at the time an appeals court judge, agreed with the district court judge on the matter of the book. however, he dissented that the replacement of the poster inhibited zachary's right to free expression. the appeals court, sitting "en banc", split 6-6. the ruling defaulted to the district court, which had held against the hoods. velveteen is a type of cloth. velveteen may also refer to: the genioglossus is one of the paired extrinsic muscles of the tongue. the genioglossus is the major muscle responsible for protruding (or sticking out) the tongue. genioglossus is the fan-shaped extrinsic tongue muscle that forms the majority of the body of the tongue. its arises from the mental spine of the mandible and its insertions are the hyoid bone and the bottom of the tongue. the genioglossus is innervated by the hypoglossal nerve, as are all muscles of the tongue except for the palatoglossus. blood is supplied to the sublingual branch of the lingual artery, a branch of the external carotid artery. the canine genioglossus muscle has been divided into horizontal and oblique compartments. the left and right genioglossus muscles protrude the tongue and deviate it towards the opposite side. when acting together, the muscles depress the center of the tongue at its back. contraction of the genioglossus stabilizes and enlarges the portion of the upper airway that is most vulnerable to collapse. relaxation of the genioglossus and geniohyoideus muscles, especially during rem sleep, is implicated in obstructive sleep apnea. given this connection, the mandible can be pulled forward to maximise the airway space, and prevent the tongue from sinking backwards under anaesthesia and obstructing the airway. the genioglossus is often used as a proxy to test the function of the hypoglossal nerve, by asking a patient to stick out their tongue. peripheral damage to the hypoglossal nerve can result in deviation of the tongue to the damaged side. the name derives from the greek words γένειον ("geneion") meaning chin, and γλῶσσα ("glōssa") meaning tongue. the earliest recorded mention is by helkiah crooke in the early seventeenth century. the hyoglossus, thin and quadrilateral, arises from the side of the body and from the whole length of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone, and passes almost vertically upward to enter the side of the tongue, between the styloglossus and the inferior longitudinal muscle of the tongue. it forms a part of the floor of submandibular triangle. the fibers arising from the body of the hyoid bone overlap those from the greater cornu. structures that are medial/deep to the hyoglossus are the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve 9), the stylohyoid ligament and the lingual artery and lingual vein. the lingual vein passes medial to the hyoglossus, and the lingual artery passes deep to the hyoglossus. laterally, in between the hyoglossus muscle and the mylohyoid muscle lay several important structures (from upper to lower): sublingual gland, submandibular duct, lingual nerve, vena comitans of hypoglossal nerve, and the hypoglossal nerve. note, posteriorly, the lingual nerve is superior to the submandibular duct and a portion of the submandibular salivary gland protrudes into the space between the hyoglossus and mylohyoid muscles. the hyoglossus depresses and retracts the tongue and makes the dorsum more convex. the efutu (also called awutu or simpafo) are an akanized guang people that are the original inhabitants of present-day ghana. they founded the coastal area about 1390 c.e. the efutu are found in awutu, adina, senya-beraku and winneba (originally called "simpa") and their main occupation is fishing. like most guans, they were somewhat absorbed into the greater akan culture and adopted akan names via annexing and military campaigns as the akan were natural warriors. similar to the akuapem people of the eastern region of ghana who are ruled by an akan abusua (called the asona clan) but was originally ruled by their own guan kings. they also have adopted (with modifications) the fante version of some akan institutions and the use of some fante words in their rituals. before akanization, the simpa kingdom was formed about 1400 ad. the famous king of the efutus is omanhene nana kwasi gyan ghartey i (1666-1712, the 1st to bear the akan omanhene title). he was famous for his fishing activities, had as many as 12 wives, and had more than six children with each wife. he helped to develop the town and its people by building various structures, including the police station, the secondary school, and all the major huge buildings in the town. the efutu speak efutu the efutu celebrate the akumesi festival (with the exception of winneba which celebrates the aboakyir festival). the akumesi festival, which is similar to the homowo of the ga-adangmes, is celebrated to hoot at hunger. the "aboakyer festival" is a bushbuck hunting festival celebrated by the people of winneba in the central region of ghana. the name "aboakyer" translates as ‘hunting for game or animal’ in fante dialect as spoken by the people of the central region. the institution of the festival was to commemorate the migration of the "simpafo"(the aboriginal name of the people of winneba). the people believed that a god, who they called penkye otu, had protected them from all dangers during their migration and to show their appreciation, the people consulted the custodian of the god, a traditional priest who acted as an intermediary between the people and the god, to ask the god for its preferred sacrifice. to their astonishment, the god asked for a human sacrifice, someone from the royal family. this sacrifice went on for some years but was later stopped as the people were no longer interested in human sacrifices. a request was made to the god to change the sacrifice type, as they believed that sacrificing royalty could eventually wipe out the royal family. the god in return asked for type of wild cat to be caught alive and presented to it at its shrine. after the presentation, it was to be beheaded as a sacrifice. this was to be done annually in a festival. the styloglossus, the shortest and smallest of the three styloid muscles, arises from the anterior and lateral surfaces of the styloid process near its apex, and from the stylomandibular ligament. passing inferiorly and anteriorly between the internal and external carotid arteries, it divides upon the side of the tongue near its dorsal surface, blending with the fibers of the longitudinalis inferior in front of the hyoglossus; the other, oblique, overlaps the hyoglossus and decussates with its fibers. the styloglossus is innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (cn xii) like all muscles of the tongue except palatoglossus which is innervated by the pharyngeal plexus of vagus nerve (cn x). the styloglossus draws up the sides of the tongue to create a trough for swallowing. as a pair they also aid in retracting the tongue. the palatoglossus, glossopalatinus, or palatoglossal muscle is a small fleshy fasciculus, narrower in the middle than at either end, forming, with the mucous membrane covering its surface, the glossopalatine arch. palatoglossus arises from the palatine aponeurosis of the soft palate, where it is continuous with the muscle of the opposite side, and passing downward, forward, and lateralward in front of the palatine tonsil, is inserted into the side of the tongue, some of its fibers spreading over the dorsum, and others passing deeply into the substance of the organ to intermingle with the transverse muscle of tongue. palatoglossus is the only muscle of the tongue that is "not" innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (cn xii). it is innervated by the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve (cn x). some sources state that the palatoglossus is innervated by fibers from the cranial part of the accessory nerve (cn xi) that travel via the pharyngeal plexus. other sources state that the palatoglossus is not innervated by xi hitchhiking on x, but rather it is innervated by ix via the pharyngeal plexus formed from ix and x. elevates posterior tongue, closes the oropharyngeal isthmus, and aids initiation of swallowing. this muscle also prevents the spill of saliva from vestibule into the oropharynx by maintaining the palatoglossal arch. david alexander paterson (born may 20, 1954) is an american politician and member of the democratic party who served as the 55th governor of new york, succeeding eliot spitzer and serving out nearly three years of spitzer's term from march 2008 to the end of 2010. he is the first african american to serve as governor of new york and the second legally blind governor of a u.s. state. following his graduation from hofstra law school, paterson worked in the district attorney's office of queens county, new york and on the staff of manhattan borough president david dinkins. in 1985, he was elected to the new york state senate to a seat once held by his father, former new york secretary of state basil paterson. in 2003, he rose to the position of senate minority leader. paterson was selected to be the running mate of democratic gubernatorial nominee eliot spitzer in the 2006 new york gubernatorial election. spitzer and paterson were elected in november 2006 with 69 percent of the vote, and paterson took office as lieutenant governor on january 1, 2007. after spitzer resigned in the wake of a prostitution scandal, paterson was sworn in as governor of new york on march 17, 2008. paterson held the office of governor during the great recession, and he implemented state budget cuts. paterson also made two significant appointments: in january 2009, he appointed then-u.s. representative kirsten gillibrand to a vacant u.s. senate seat, and in july 2009, he appointed richard ravitch as lieutenant governor. paterson launched a campaign for a full term as governor in the 2010 gubernatorial election, but announced on february 26, 2010 that he would bow out of the race. during the final year of his administration, paterson faced allegations of witness tampering, soliciting improper gifts, and making false statements; he was eventually fined for having lied under oath. since leaving office, paterson has been a radio talk show host and served as chairman of the new york democratic party from may 2014 to november 2015. paterson was born in brooklyn to portia paterson, a homemaker, and basil paterson, a labor law attorney. basil paterson was later a new york state senator and secretary of state, and served as deputy mayor of new york city. according to a "new york now" interview, paterson traces his roots on his mother's side of the family to pre-civil war african american slaves in the states of north carolina and south carolina. his father is half afro-jamaican. his paternal grandmother, a jamaican, evangeline rondon paterson was secretary to black nationalist leader marcus garvey. his paternal grandfather was leonard james paterson, a native of carriacou who arrived in the united states aboard the s.s. "vestris" on may 16, 1917. it was reported by the genetic genealogist in march 2008 that paterson had recently undergone genetic genealogy testing. part of his father's ancestry consists of immigrants from england, ireland, and scotland, while his mother's side includes eastern european jewish ancestry, as well as ancestors from the guinea-bissau region of west africa. at the age of three months, paterson contracted an ear infection that spread to his optic nerve, leaving him sightless in his left eye and with severely limited vision in his right. since new york city public schools would not guarantee him an education without placing him in special education classes, his family bought a home in the long island suburb of south hempstead so that he could attend mainstream classes there. paterson was the first student with a disability in the hempstead public schools, graduating from hempstead high school in 1971. paterson received a b.a. degree in history from columbia college of columbia university in 1977 and a j.d. degree from hofstra law school in 1983. after law school, he went to work for the queens district attorney's office, but did not pass the new york bar examination, which prevented him from becoming an attorney at law. he claimed that his failing the new york bar was partially the result of insufficient accommodation for his visual impairment, and has since advocated for changes in bar exam procedures. on august 6, 1985, state senator leon bogues died, and paterson sought and obtained the democratic party nomination for the seat. in mid-september, a meeting of 648 democratic committee members on the first ballot gave paterson 58% of the vote, giving him the party nomination. that october, paterson won the virtually uncontested special state senate election. at the time, the 29th senate district covered the manhattan neighborhoods of harlem, manhattan valley and the upper west side, the same district that paterson's father had represented. he was re-elected ten times, and remained in the state senate until 2006, sitting in the 186th, 187th, 188th, 189th, 190th, 191st, 192nd, 193rd, 194th, 195th and 196th new york state legislatures. paterson briefly ran in the democratic primary for the office of new york city public advocate in 1993, but was defeated by mark j. green. paterson was elected minority leader by the senate democratic conference on november 20, 2002, becoming both the first non-white state legislative leader and the highest-ranking black elected official in the history of new york. paterson unseated the incumbent minority leader, martin connor. paterson became known for his consensus-building style and sharp political skills. in 2006, paterson sponsored a controversial bill to limit the use of deadly force by the police. he later changed that position. he also supported non-citizen voting in new york local elections. according to the "new york post", he "chalked up a heavily liberal record". describing paterson's tenure in the senate, "the new york times" cited his "wit, flurries of reform proposals and unusual bursts of candor". in 2006, paterson was selected by new york attorney general and democratic gubernatorial candidate eliot spitzer as his running mate. the news stunned the new york political world, as the democratic minority was poised to possibly take over the state legislature. paterson traded the possibility of becoming senate majority leader for the opportunity to hold the largely ceremonial lieutenant governor post. during their 2006 campaign, paterson resolved a dispute with spitzer over turf wars between staff members. the spitzer-paterson ticket won a landslide victory in the election, with 69% of the vote. it was the largest margin of victory in a gubernatorial race in new york history, and the second-largest for any statewide race in new york history. in late december 2006, shortly before being sworn in as lieutenant governor, paterson said that if he ever succeeded spitzer as governor, he and nelson a. rockefeller would have something besides the governorship in common: great difficulty in reading. rockefeller was dyslexic, and paterson compared this to his own blindness. paterson took office as lieutenant governor on january 1, 2007. paterson led spitzer's successful 2007 legislative effort to approve a bond issue which will provide at least $1 billion toward stem cell research. spitzer and paterson touted the measure partly for its economic development benefits, following california's $3 billion effort, which in turn had been prompted by the u.s. federal government halting funding for such research. in september 2007, paterson weighed in on a proposal before the new york city council to extend voting rights to noncitizens. he told a crowd gathered at the west indian american day carnival parade that he believed noncitizens should be granted voting rights. he stressed he was asking for a change in policy, rather than a new law, citing that although 22 states and territories between 1776 and 1920 allowed the practice, none do now. spitzer issued a statement that he did not agree with paterson's position, and claimed he was unaware paterson would be speaking on the matter. paterson had tried to introduce legislation granting voting rights to noncitizens as a state senator fifteen years earlier. in february 2008, a u.s. district judge denied a motion to dismiss a racial discrimination lawsuit naming paterson. a white male former staff photographer claimed that he was the victim of discrimination in 2005 when paterson's office replaced him with a black photographer. according to the "new york post", paterson's chief of staff "denied the claim... paterson, in his deposition, countered that the decision... was simple politics – [the photographer] was a holdover from former minority leader marty connor, who was ousted by paterson in 2003." in the midst of a prostitution scandal, governor eliot spitzer resigned his position effective march 17, 2008. upon hearing that spitzer intended to resign, paterson called his then-wife michelle and reportedly said, "i think i'll kill myself". following spitzer's resignation, paterson was sworn in as the 55th governor of new york, at the new york state capitol on march 17, 2008, by new york chief judge judith kaye. paterson is the first black governor in the history of the state of new york and the fourth black governor in the history of the united states (the first three being the reconstruction-era p. b. s. pinchback of louisiana, virginia's douglas wilder and massachusetts's deval patrick). the lieutenant governor's office remained vacant until september 22, 2009, when the new york court of appeals ruled in a 4–3 decision that paterson's appointment of richard ravitch was constitutional. paterson is the second legally blind governor of a u.s. state (the first was bob c. riley, who was acting governor of arkansas for 11 days in january 1975). during his tenure, paterson's staff read documents to him over voice mail. on july 17, 2008, paterson was the keynote speaker addressing the 99th annual convention of the naacp in cincinnati, ohio. although paterson is a lifelong democrat who was considered a liberal in the state senate, he earned praise from conservatives during his time as governor for making major spending cuts; for providing mandate relief; for enacting an inflation-indexed property tax cap and a school tax "circuit breaker"; and for his appointment of blue dog democrat kirsten gillibrand to a vacant seat in the united states senate. paterson ascended to the governor's office during the busiest legislative period of the year. the state is required by law to pass its budget prior to april 1. he had only two weeks to negotiate with lawmakers a proposal to close a $4.7 billion deficit and pass a $124 billion budget from the spitzer administration. he stated in his inauguration speech that it would be his top priority. paterson also made reference in his speech to the economic woes being faced in the united states, calling them a "crisis", and promised to "adjust the budget accordingly". since 1984, new york state has only passed a budget on time once, in 2005, leading paterson to call for an "end to the dysfunction in albany" in his speech, echoing a 56-page study from the nonpartisan new york university school of law's brennan center for justice, which referred to the legislature as "the least deliberative and most dysfunctional in the nation". paterson quickly signed five pieces of legislation on his first day in office: to add the new york state department of labor to the new york city transit track safety task force; to eliminate a law that discouraged employers from holding blood drives; to change the way in which members are appointed to a state health and research board; to restore eligibility caps to certain senior employment programs; and to grant tax exemptions to several local development corporations in new york state. one day after paterson's inauguration as the governor of new york, both he and his wife acknowledged having had extramarital affairs, one with a state employee. paterson's admissions went against the so-called "bear mountain compact", a practice by lawmakers that their transgressions in the state capital would not be reported elsewhere. in may 2008, paterson informed new york state agencies that they were required to recognize same-sex marriage licenses from other jurisdictions for purposes of employee benefits. the governor's directive was purportedly based upon a decision from new york supreme court, appellate division's fourth department. the governor's directive did not receive widespread public attention until weeks after the directive was given. at that time, the governor's decision provoked public reaction on both sides of the issue. while paterson's directive received widespread approval from same-sex marriage supporters, it was met with criticism from conservative legislators and from same-sex marriage opponents, one of whom referred to the directive as governor paterson's "first major blunder". then-senate majority leader joseph bruno and others accused paterson of having overstepped his bounds and usurped the authority of the legislature. paterson reportedly described same-sex marriage as "beautiful," and contended that his decision was "the right thing to do"; the governor was enthusiastically cheered when he attended the 2008 gay pride parade in manhattan. on june 3, 2008, a lawsuit was filed by the alliance defense fund challenging the governor's directive. on september 2, 2008, justice lucy a. billings of the state supreme court in the bronx issued a decision that paterson acted within his powers when he required state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages from outside new york state. in her dismissal of the alliance defense fund suit, justice billings found that the governor's order was consistent with state laws on the recognition of marriages from outside the state. in april 2009, it was revealed that paterson would propose legislation to legalize same-sex marriage in new york. paterson later tapped former senate majority leader and former political foe joseph bruno to support same-sex marriage in albany. on december 2, 2009, same-sex marriage legislation was "overwhelmingly" defeated on the floor of the new york state senate by a vote of 24 to 38; no republican voted yes, eight democrats voted no. the "daily news" described the defeat as a "major blow", while "the new york times" stated that the defeat "all but ensures that the issue is dead in new york until at least 2011, when a new legislature will be installed." in late 2010, before the january 2011 expiration of his term as governor, paterson reached out to members of the new york state senate in an attempt to gauge support for the passage of same-sex marriage legislation during a lame-duck session of the legislature; however, the governor came to the conclusion that passage of the bill during the lame-duck session was not feasible. when asked what would have to occur in order for same-sex marriage to be legalized in new york, paterson responded, "get rid of the lobbyists," and added that same-sex marriage advocates had "forced" a senate floor vote prematurely in december 2009. in july 2008, paterson warned state lawmakers and citizens of new york that the state faced its worst fiscal crisis since the 1970s. on tuesday, july 29, paterson gave a rare televised address that was broadcast on all of new york's major news networks, stating that the state budget deficit had gone up $1.4 billion over the 90 days since his original budget submission, citing rising costs due to the poor economy and a struggling wall street, and calling the state legislature back to albany for an emergency session starting on august 19, 2008. he also warned that the budget deficit was estimated to grow 22 percent by 2011. with aig on the verge of collapse on september 16, 2008, and in the aftermath of lehman brothers filing for bankruptcy, paterson publicly lobbied for a government bailout of the insurance giant. he hit the cable networks early and was quoted by media around the world. the previous day, paterson had loosened regulations to allow aig to draw reserves from its subsidiaries. paterson revised spitzer's record-size executive budget proposal to cut spending. budget negotiations carried over past the deadline, causing the new governor to lament that too many lawmakers were "unwilling to make serious cuts to our budget". on april 10, 2018, a $121.7 billion budget package was passed by both houses of the state legislature. the budget closed a projected $4.6 billion deficit with $1.8 billion of spending cuts, $1.5 billion in additional revenue from increased taxes and fees and $1.3 billion of one time transfers, and did not tap into the state's $1.2 billion of reserves or increase the top income tax rate on those earning $1 million or more. paterson's budget provided property tax relief, delivered aid to municipalities, and restored hundreds of millions in property tax rebates for middle-class homeowners and $1 billion for upstate economic development. the budget provided for a tuition remission program for military veterans, offering them free tuition at both suny and cuny institutions. even though the budget enacted was the first in a decade that included less spending than the proposal, paterson promised to slash the following year's state budget by five to 10 percent, because the spending plan he inherited was "too big and too bloated". in april 2008, paterson asked the heads of all state agencies to cut their budgets by 3.35% and threatened a hiring freeze; the governor also asked legislative leaders to follow suit. in august 2008, he called a special emergency session of the legislature and enacted 6% across-the-board cuts in all state agencies. he called another special session in november 2008 to trim an additional 3%, but this effort did not meet with success. at his first state of the state address in january 2009, paterson said "my fellow new yorkers: let me come straight to the point—the state of our state is perilous. new york faces an historic economic challenge, the gravest in nearly a century. ... the pillars of wall street have crumbled. the global economy is reeling. trillions of dollars of wealth have vanished." new york faced a budget deficit of $15 billion, and state debt approached $55 billion. paterson's budget proposal called for dramatic across-the-board cuts to various state agencies; he described those cuts as "deep and painful". paterson also proposed to close the 81-year-old reynolds game farm, in tompkins county, the state's only remaining pheasant facility, but changed course following criticism from sportsmen's groups. in march 2009, paterson announced at a town hall meeting in niagara falls that in light of the fiscal crisis, he would take a 10% pay cut. after being nominated for the position on december 1, 2008, senator hillary clinton was confirmed as united states secretary of state by the united states senate. clinton resigned her senate seat on january 21, 2009, in order to assume the cabinet post. by mandate of the new york constitution, paterson was tasked with appointing a temporary replacement until a special election in 2010 for the conclusion of the term of her class 1 seat. persons mentioned in the media as potential appointees included u.s. rep. gregory meeks, former state comptroller h. carl mccall, william c. thompson, jr., byron brown, rep. josé e. serrano, rep. nydia m. velázquez, u.s. rep. nita lowey, u.s. rep. carolyn b. maloney, former hillary clinton aide leecia eve, united federation of teachers president randi weingarten, rep. kirsten gillibrand, and political heiress caroline kennedy. while new york attorney general and former united states secretary of housing and urban development andrew cuomo refused to publicly declare his interest in the seat, he attracted a plurality of support from polled new yorkers to take the seat. cuomo was cited by some analysts as a savvy senate appointee because his appointment might dissuade him from mounting a primary challenge against paterson in the 2010 gubernatorial election. paterson acknowledged on january 20, 2009, that cuomo was indeed under consideration for the appointment. it was reported on december 5, 2008 that paterson had spoken with kennedy regarding her interest in the senate seat. however, kennedy abruptly withdrew her name from consideration on january 21, 2009. up until her withdrawal, for which no official explanation was given, the high-profile, well-connected daughter of former president john f. kennedy was widely considered the front-runner for the nomination. after kennedy removed herself from consideration, some reports indicated that paterson "never intended" to pick kennedy, having come to consider her "unready" for the seat after a series of media misfires. some sources and analysts doubted the reports' veracity, calling the paterson camp's denials of any interest in appointing kennedy "misdirection". joseph mercurio remarked that paterson's caginess had backfired, noting, "now no matter who he picks, it's always going to be the choice after what happened to kennedy." on january 23, 2009, paterson chose gillibrand—a moderate upstate congresswoman from then-largely conservative district—to fill clinton's vacated seat. the reaction from the kennedy family was reportedly "furious", according to "the new york post" and the "daily news". although gillibrand's appointment was praised by some (including schumer, new york's senior senator; president obama; and clinton herself,) others criticized paterson's choice, calling gillibrand "inexperienced", "sharp-elbowed", "too conservative", and "unliked". others, including liberal "the new york times" editorialist maureen dowd and "new york magazine" writer chris smith, criticized paterson's "peculiar" and "dithering" handling of the senate appointment and suggested it was a cynical way of rallying upstate support for re-election. paterson later admitted that he personally ordered his staff to contest caroline kennedy's version of events in the hours after she withdrew from consideration to be united states senator. due to the ongoing leadership crisis in the new york state senate, in which the senate tied with 31 democratic votes and 31 republican votes, with no presiding officer to break the tie, paterson announced on july 8, 2009 that he would appoint richard ravitch, a former chairman of the metropolitan transportation authority, to be lieutenant governor. on august 20, 2009, however, a four-judge panel of the new york state appellate division, second judicial department ruled that paterson had no legal authority to name a lieutenant governor, and that the lieutenant governor position could not be filled in any way other than via an election. on september 23, 2009, the new york court of appeals reversed the appellate division's decision, holding paterson's appointment of ravitch to be constitutional. in january 2010, paterson awarded a contract to operate a 4,500 slot machine racino at the aqueduct race track to aqueduct race track entertainment group (aeg) in queens, new york. the appointment generated controversy because of charges that aeg, which had the worst bid of those bidding, was allowed to change its bid so that it had the best. paterson is reported to have demanded that the ownership have an affirmative action component. during this time, rapper jay-z, through his company gain global investments network, llc, then got a 7 percent ownership stake in aeg; charges were made that jay-z and paterson had a personal relationship. u.s. prosecutors were reported to be investigating the bidding process, particularly aeg winning the bid two days after queens megachurch pastor floyd flake (also an aeg investor) threatened to switch his support in the 2010 governor race from paterson to andrew cuomo. new york assembly speaker sheldon silver threatened not to sign off on the deal. paterson maintained there was no quid pro quo. on march 9, 2010, paterson recused himself from the case, saying he was doing so on the advice of his lawyers. on the same day flake and jay-z withdrew from aeg. flake had a 0.6% share. in february 2010, "the new york times" reported that paterson may have been involved in witness tampering in a domestic abuse case involving staffer david w. johnson after new york state police and paterson allegedly talked to the complainant in an attempt to persuade her to drop the case. paterson was said to have asked the woman if she needed any help a day before the case was dropped. on february 26, 2010, paterson withdrew his bid for a full term as governor of new york. in march 2010, the new york state commission on public integrity asked attorney general andrew cuomo to investigate allegations that paterson had solicited an unlawful gift of free new york yankees tickets. he also faced allegations that he had lied under oath to the commission on public integrity in 2010 during an investigation about the yankees tickets. following the "twin scandals", a poll showed that fewer than half of new yorkers believed paterson should remain in office. despite this, paterson announced on march 5, 2010 that he intended to continue to remain in his post until his term in office concluded at the end of the year. paterson was not criminally charged in connection with his witness interaction in the johnson domestic abuse matter. on december 20, 2010, the commission on public integrity found that paterson had lied about accepting five free world series tickets and fined him $62,125. after the "weekend update" sketch featuring david paterson aired in 2009 on the nbc show "saturday night live", paterson was upset by the way the sketch portrayed him, stating that it was an offensive stereotype to those who were visually impaired. on the 36th-season premiere of "saturday night live" (aired september 25, 2010), paterson appeared in the "weekend update" sketch alongside fred armisen, who was comedically portraying paterson. in october 2008, paterson launched a campaign website and announced his intention to run for a full term as governor. paterson's prime republican opponent was expected to be former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. by february 2009, after the prolonged senate appointment process, a siena college poll indicated that paterson was losing popularity among new yorkers and showed giuliani with a fifteen-point lead in a hypothetical contest. in april 2009, a quinnipiac poll found that 60% of voters disapproved of paterson's performance (the worst-ever rating for a new york governor); 53% believed that paterson should withdraw his candidacy for the gubernatorial election. in an august 21, 2009 radio interview, paterson suggested that his low popularity was caused by racism and added that gov. deval patrick of massachusetts had received a similar reception. paterson added that president barack obama would be the next african-american elected official to suffer from poor approval due to his skin color. the white house asked paterson to tone down his comments on race, but less than 24 hours later, paterson said: "[one] very successful minority is permissible; but when you see too many success stories, then some people get nervous." on september 18, 2009, advisors to president barack obama informed paterson that the president believed paterson should withdraw his 2010 gubernatorial candidacy and clear a path for "popular attorney general andrew cuomo" to run. according to "the new york times", obama was worried that paterson's continued unpopularity could hinder the campaigns of new york's democratic congressmembers and could also topple democratic control of the state legislature. the "times" cited a potential gubernatorial run by giuliani as another reason for the obama administration's request. on september 19, 2009, paterson insisted he was still running. he reiterated his position on february 9, 2010, saying, "[the] only way i'm not going to be governor next year is at the ballot box and the only way i'll be leaving office before is in a box". on february 26, 2010, however, paterson withdrew his bid for a full term as governor of new york "amid crumbling support from his party and an uproar over his administration’s intervention in a domestic violence case involving a close aide". later in 2010, cuomo became the democratic candidate for governor of new york and won the election in a landslide. after leaving office at the end of 2010, paterson appeared on new york radio station wor on a number of occasions as a substitute talk show host, filling in for morning host john gambling. on september 1, 2011, the station announced that paterson would become the regular weekday afternoon drive-time host beginning on september 6. he replaced steve malzberg. in december 2012, paterson was let go from his radio show at wor after the station was purchased by clear channel. paterson was appointed in 2013 to be a distinguished professor of health care and public policy, at touro college, in harlem, and to advise the touro college of osteopathic medicine on public policy issues. paterson was a director for investments with stifel, nicolaus & company, a financial services holding company. in may 2014, andrew cuomo appointed paterson chairman of the new york democratic party. on october 7, 2015, paterson announced that he would leave his position as chairman following the november elections. paterson dated michelle paige in college. after he broke up with her, she went on to marry someone else, have a daughter, and get divorced. in 1992, paterson married michelle. two years later, they had a son named alex. paterson and michelle had an up-and-down marriage, which included affairs to which they later admitted. the couple separated in 2012 and divorced in july 2014. paterson reportedly dated a member of his staff, pamela bane, from 2012 to 2014. paterson then began to date mary galda, former wife of curtis sliwa. sliwa tweeted out his "approval" of the relationship in 2015. paterson got engaged to galda in 2019, and married on august 10, 2019 at the water club on the east river. the ceremony was officiated by former new york city mayor david dinkins. the stokes radius or stokes–einstein radius of a solute is the radius of a hard sphere that diffuses at the same rate as that solute. named after george gabriel stokes, it is closely related to solute mobility, factoring in not only size but also solvent effects. a smaller ion with stronger hydration, for example, may have a greater stokes radius than a larger ion with weaker hydration. this is because the smaller ion drags a greater number of water molecules with it as it moves through the solution. stokes radius is sometimes used synonymously with effective hydrated radius in solution. hydrodynamic radius, "r", can refer to the stokes radius of a polymer or other macromolecule. according to stokes’ law, a perfect sphere traveling through a viscous liquid feels a drag force proportional to the frictional coefficient formula_1: formula_2 where formula_3 is the liquid's viscosity, formula_4 is the sphere's drift speed, and formula_5 is its radius. because ionic mobility formula_6 is directly proportional to drift speed, it is inversely proportional to the frictional coefficient: formula_7 where formula_8 represents ionic charge in integer multiples of electron charges. in 1905, albert einstein found the diffusion coefficient formula_9 of an ion to be proportional to its mobility constant: formula_10 where formula_11 is the boltzmann constant and formula_12 is electrical charge. this is known as the einstein relation. substituting in the frictional coefficient of a perfect sphere from stokes’ law yields formula_13 which can be rearranged to solve for formula_14, the radius: formula_15 in non-spherical systems, the frictional coefficient is determined by the size and shape of the species under consideration. stokes radii are often determined experimentally by gel-permeation or gel-filtration chromatography. they are useful in characterizing biological species due to the size-dependence of processes like enzyme-substrate interaction and membrane diffusion. the stokes radii of sediment, soil, and aerosol particles are considered in ecological measurements and models. they likewise play a role in the study of polymer and other macromolecular systems. college park (previously "college town") is a small, leafy, residential eastern suburb of adelaide, south australia in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it is among the most expensive suburban areas in south australia, with a median sale price of 1.8 million as of 2015. college park post office opened on 21 october 1946. lionel logue born on the 26 february 1880 college park contains a number of heritage-listed sites, including: evandale is a small suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it is bounded on the northwest by payneham road and on the east by portrush road, with smaller streets bounding the north and south. felixstow is a suburb of adelaide, situated in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it was reportedly named by thomas stow, who had been the first european to take up pastoral duties in the area, by combining the latin word for "happy" with the old english word for "place". his son, augustine stow, later had a vineyard at felixstow. felixstow post office opened as hectorville post office on 1 july 1882 and was renamed felixstow on 15 august 1963. the historic forsyth house (now the aldersgate nursing home) is listed on the south australian heritage register. firle is a suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. the suburb was laid out in 1881 by edward castres gwynne who was born at lewes in sussex, england, near the towns of firle and glynde, where his father was a rector. glynde is the name of a suburb which neighbours firle. gwynne came to south australia on the "lord goderich" in april 1838 and purchased 500 acres of land on the foothills east of adelaide. he was elected to the first representative parliament in 1857 and twenty years later was appointed a judge of the supreme court of south australia. upon his retirement in 1881 he laid out the suburb on sections 303 and 265, hundred of adelaide. initially, parts of gwynne's estate was subdivided into large blocks which were used by settlers for large market gardens, orchards and paddocks of wheat and hay. gradually the area developed as a residential suburb as transport services such as trams and buses were introduced in the early 1900s. post-war migrant settlement also brought many people to the area. firle house was built by henry william martin in about 1882, but it was demolished in the 1980s. the original family homestead of edward gwynne, known as 'glynde house' has managed to survive at 54 avenue road, glynde, and is on the south australian state heritage register. glynde is a suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it was laid out in 1856 by edward castres gwynne, whose father had been the rector of the sussex village of glynde; he also named the adjacent suburb of firle. he owned a large estate near the village, where he had an orangery covering eight acres. the duke of edinburgh reportedly once visited gwynne's estate to find the family away from home. the historic glynde house is listed on the south australian heritage register. hackney is an inner-eastern suburb of adelaide, south australia, in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it is adjacent to the adelaide park lands, the adelaide city centre and north adelaide. the o-bahn busway passes along hackney road, part of the city ring route, adelaide, which forms its western boundary. its other boundaries are the river torrens (north), the continuation of north terrace through kent town (south), and a series of small streets and lanes to the east. the suburb is dominated by st peter's college, an independent boys' school, which is wholly located within the suburb and occupies a site, about 60% of the suburb's area. located at this site since 1854, the school grounds contain three heritage-listed buildings. romilly house in the southwest corner of the suburb, on north terrace, is also listed on the heritage register. hackney is adjacent to park 11 of the park lands, across hackney road from the botanic gardens, the botanic park and the national wine centre. prior to the 2018 election, the state labor government decided to build in 2016–2017 a $160 million tunnel for the o-bahn busway from north of north terrace, hackney, through the adelaide park lands to the corner of grenfell street and east terrace on the eastern edge of the adelaide city centre. as part of this work, the middle of the entire length of hackney road, hackney, from the river torrens to north terrace was rebuilt to provide buslanes and an entrance to / exit from the tunnel. the cost/benefit ratio of this project was questioned, traffic disruption was considerable, and the labor party did not win the 2018 election. heathpool is a residential suburb of adelaide, east of the city, in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it was one of three large properties in the marryatville area, and named by early settler george reed, after his home in hethpool, northumberland. the house at 11 northumberland avenue was owned by henry woodhouse crompton for many years. much of the early history of kensington, marryatville and heathpool are described in this article, which has been split by the scanning process on trove (and is follwed by other articles related to the area): joslin is a suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it is rectangular, stretching from payneham road (southeast) to the river torrens and torrens linear park (northwest), but from lambert road on the northeast only about 350m along the numbered avenues towards the next cross street which is in st peters. the o-bahn busway crosses the western corner of the suburb, but there is not a station nearby. kensington is a suburb of adelaide, south australia in the city of norwood, payneham & st peters council area. unlike the rest of the city, kensington's streets are laid out diagonally. second creek runs through and under part of the suburb. nearby suburbs kensington park and beulah park are in the city of burnside, while norwood and marryatville are also in norwood, payneham and st peters council area. the village of kensington was surveyed in november 1838 by j.h. hughes, the first in the immediate area, and was named after kensington palace. first anglican bishop augustus short first lived in kensington after his arrival in december 1847, on the corner of bishop's place and regent street. the colonial secretary, then alfred mundy, lived in kensington in 1848. this was before the village of marryatville was developed over the road to the south the kensington line was the first of several trams in adelaide, firstly horse-drawn (1878) and later electrified. marryatville primary school is a state primary school, located in kensington (not in marryatville, as its name suggests). classes range from reception to year 7, with up to 400 students at the school. the school was established in 1883 at a site on kensington road, and moved to its current location in 1978. the first principal was william j. kent. classes range from reception to year 7, with up to 450 students at the school. most year 7 students attend marryatville high school with some students zoned to norwood/morialta high school. it also provides "before and after school" care and vacation care. there is an active children's art studio, music tuition program and junior and senior choir. the language studied is french. mary mackillop college is a private catholic girls secondary school located in kensington. the new middle school stem building at pembroke school is located in kensington, adjacent to the main facilities in kensington park. kent town is an inner urban suburb of adelaide, south australia. it is located in the city of norwood payneham & st peters. kent town was named for dr. benjamin archer kent (1808 – 25 november 1864), a medical practitioner of walsall, staffordshire who emigrated to south australia aboard "warrior", arriving in april 1840 with his wife marjory redman kent, née bonnar, and two children, benjamin andrew kent, and graham eliza kent, who in 1848 married dr frederick charles bayer (died 15 august 1867). hydraulic engineer c. a. bayer and architect e. h. bayer were sons. kent established a flour mill and farm which failed financially and he was obliged to return to his profession to support his family. he sold his property at a handsome profit, repaid all his creditors and returned to england. kent town was the location of two successive sites of the kent town brewery the second of which in 1888 became the malthouse for sa brewing, now redeveloped into apartments. the 2016 census by the australian bureau of statistics measured the population of kent town at 1,210 persons. of these, 57% were male and 43% were female. the 2016 census by the australian bureau of statistics recorded 227 families living in the suburb. of those families, there was an average of 1.6 children for families with children and an average of 0.3 for all families. the majority of residents (62.3%) are of australian birth, with other common census responses being malaysia (3.8%), india (3.7%), china (3.7%) and england (3.6%). the age distribution of kent town residents is comparable to that of the greater australian population. 66.2% of residents were over 25 years in 2006, compared to the australian average of 66.5%; and 33.8% were younger than 25 years, compared to the australian average of 33.5%. prince alfred college, an independent school for boys is located on dequetteville terrace, the western boundary of the suburb. during the adelaide fringe festival, the world's second-largest annual arts festival, the bars and restaurants of kent town receive thousands of customers. the local kent town hotel boasts craft beer in a stylish pub with a jungle-themed bbq restaurant and a rooftop bar with a dunk tank. one attraction in kent town is the wesley uniting church.originally founded by the methodist church, wesley uniting church has had a significant place in the life of south australians for over 150 years. the suburb is serviced by the following main roads: kent town is serviced by buses run by the adelaide metro. earlier a tram serviced kent town and other eastern suburbs. marden is a suburb of adelaide, south australia in the city of norwood payneham st peters. the suburb is bordered by the river torrens to the north, o.g. rd to the east, payneham rd to the south and battams rd to the west. the marden suburb grew out of ribbon development on payneham road, providing services to people travelling between athelstone and the city of adelaide. the suburb was the 'silent partner' in the development of payneham, the suburb to the south, which eventually gave name to the council area. the suburb has a rich history of market gardening on the flats area, near the river torrens boundary, having a fresh water supply via third creek and the torrens river. it became part of the payneham council, housing the council chambers on the corner of o.g. road and payneham road. it was absorbed into the norwood and st peters council amalgamation in the 1990s. some buildings in the area date from the pre-federation era but most development was completed in the post-world war two decades. housing blocks south of lower portrush road have a high concentration of unit and flats, especially in the broad street vicinity. the suburb holds a number of services within its boundaries. these include: several churches (anglican, uniting) and a christatdelphian temple marden shopping centre and online shopping is also getting pace marryatville is a small suburb about east of adelaide's central business district, in the local council area of city of norwood payneham st peters. comprising low- to medium-density housing, two large schools, a church and several shops, it also has two creeks running through it. the first european settler on the land was george brunskill in 1839, with part of the land purchased and laid out as a village in 1848 by james philcox. the suburb is bounded by portrush road in the west, kensington road to the north, tusmore avenue to the east, and alnwick terrace/romney road to the south. along with neighbouring heathpool to the south and kensington to the north, it is part of the city of norwood payneham st peters (npsp) council area, adjoining the city of burnside suburbs leabrook and toorak gardens on the eastern and western sides. both first and second creek, both originating in the adelaide hills, run through the suburb. first creek surfaces on the northern side of alnwick terrace, within the marryatville high school grounds, then flows through the grounds and out under the crescent, while second creek passes under hackett terrace at its northern end, flowing through several properties on either side of the road before being canalised. severe floods in november 2005 overflowed both creeks' banks and caused some damage to both mhs and loreto, as well as some houses. before european settlement, marryatville was inhabited by one of the groups who later collectively became known as the kaurna peoples. george brunskill (1799-1866), left sandford, cumbria (then in the historic county of westmorland) with his wife sarah (née apsey), departing london in november 1838 on board the "thomas harrison" and arriving in port adelaide in february 1839. both of their young children died before the ship sailed. brunskill first "leased a portion of section 290, comprising , from the south australian company with a right to purchase the freehold", in the area now known as marryatville. an undated document, estimated c.1840 by the state library, shows a mortgage agreement for the sum of £300 between brunskill and the savings bank of south australia, describing an eight-roomed brick home to be built on 6.5 acres. in a letter written in august 1839, brunskill describes the countryside as "magnificent" after rains, with trees, flowers, vegetables all flourishing. the settler population of adelaide is reported as 8,250. in a letter the following april, he says that in contrast to when they arrived, when the area was almost totally uninhabited, they were now surrounded by neighbours. his 67 acres leased from the company provide lizards and goannas for "excellent eating", and he says that "the blacks" (the local kaurna people) hardly ever come near them, are "harmless" and do not steal; he lent an axe which was promptly returned. he later (june–july 1840) describes their house, comprising three bedrooms and other features which will make it "the best in the colony". on 31 august 1850, were registered in brunskill's name, with the other purchased on 25 september 1848 by james philcox, who laid out the "village of marryatville". this followed an announcement in the press in july of the engagement of "miss marryat, niece of the lord bishop of adelaide" to sir henry young, the new governor of adelaide, before their departure from england. the suburb's name thus came from augusta sophia marryat, wife of the fifth governor of south australia, sir henry young, after their arrival in the colony in 1848. augusta was the niece of the novelist captain frederick marryat, and sister of charles marryat, who from 1887 to 1906 was dean of adelaide. her mother was caroline short, whose brother, augustus short, was the first anglican bishop of adelaide. philcox was probably responsible also for naming burwash road, after his home town of burwash in sussex. brunskill's property ran from portrush road (then called glen osmond road) to ringmore road (now called dudley road), and the village to the east of that. the records mention a church (st matthew's anglican church, built in 1848, consecrated in 1849) to the west of the village, and company-owned lands to the east. in the village, one of the first buildings was the marryatville hotel, a single-storey building on the southern side. this was near the building which still stands, built in 1908 on the site of a brewery and used as a police station until 1971, and today by private businesses. wood cutters would gather there on their way back from a day's work in the hills. the village was advertised on 23 september 1848 as: "twenty acres of the very best land most salubriously situate in the above-mentioned township. a splendid stream of water runs through the property besides which good spring water may be obtained in wells depth. it adjoins the elegant church of kensington on the west and the residence of the honourable the colonial secretary (then alfred mundy) on the north, the celebrated glen osmond and other mineral lands on the south and those of the south australian company on the east." in 1851, george hall founded one of south australia's first aerated waters companies in ringmore (now dudley) road. in 1872 the company, then known as geo. hall & sons, moved to edward street, norwood. the highly successful company's halls label produced soft drinks, surviving for 149 years. heathpool was one of three large properties, along with eden park and the acacias, which made up marryatville. the kensington line was the first of several trams in adelaide, firstly horse-drawn (1878) and later electrified. there was a tram terminus in marryatville, near the home of state treasurer lavington glyde, who often travelled home with fellow politicians wentworth cavenagh and sir edwin smith. in 1919, st matthew's church was renovated, maintaining as many original features as possible. a roll of honour of the world war i war dead was added to a wall, and a new organ was installed in honour of former warden george e. stevens. in 1923 sun street was widened from a lane to a road, and renamed hackett terrace, after the nursery. in 1937, alfred traeger, inventor of the pedal radio, moved his workshop to larger premises at 11 dudley road, where the firm stayed in operation until his death in 1980. a memorial plaque marks the building, which is still in existence. brunskill built the first home for the family shortly after arrival in 1839, on land later owned by sir edwin smith, on the site of the present loreto college, then another cottage on the present dudley road, and finally the most elaborate of all, a house which they called sandford, on the site of the current eden park. a huge norfolk pine planted by the brunskills still stands. brunskill ran a brick-making business and grew crops such as wheat and kept cattle, while sarah tended to pigs. he was a businessman in the city. the brunskills sold up when they moved to the barossa valley in 1857, when they also subdivided and sold more land to the church. sandford passed through several hands before being purchased in 1899 by thomas roger scarfe, brother of george, one of the founding members of the harris scarfe department store. thomas was also a member of the firm. he found the two-storey home unsuitable for his needs and built the grand victorian mansion now known as eden park, designed by architect alfred wells. thomas lived there until his death in 1915, with his widow staying on until her death in 1942. the house, garden and about of land were bought by the state government, after which it was used as a residential home and then a school for nurses (gleneden school of nursing), before becoming sa health's conference centre. in 1993 it was acquired by marryatville high school and since then has been used as a campus for final year students. the large house on the corner of present-day portrush and kensington roads (and now part of loreto college), known as the acacias, was built in 1874-5 by dr j.m. gunson to the design of renowned builder and architect michael mcmullen. the land was originally part of land grant to george fife angas, henry kingscote & thomas smith, all founding directors of the south australian company. after several other owners, gunson purchased the land in august 1874, built the house on a terrace above first creek and developed the gardens. gunson sold the house to sir edwin smith in 1878, who greatly extended the home, including a verandah & balcony imported from glasgow and a large ballroom, to the designs of architect thomas english (who also designed the new premises of kent town brewery in 1876 for smith). in december 1920 loreto convent bought the house on , opening at that location in february 1921. further conversions have been undertaken by the school over time. the smallest street, now hackett terrace, was formerly named sun street, the name deriving from hackett's nursery, a family concern created by brothers elisha and walter hackett in the 1850s. elisha hackett cultivated the garden of his house in sydenham road, creating the nursery, and in 1854 persuaded his brother walter, who had gone to victoria in 1851, to join him in business. walter, after his marriage, built a house in marryatville designed by architect george abbott in about 1866. the plot was bought from brunskill, and was described as a long strip of land, formerly part of a paddock used as a shortcut by burnside people going to st matthew's church. there were several wells, and the property had to be locked against bushrangers, who were active in the area. walter first planted fruit trees, but as the nursery grew, the fruit trees were removed. more than 100,000 roses as well as shrubs and trees were grown and sold; there were also glasshouses to house begonias, maiden-hair ferns and other house plants, and a shadehouse for palms, tree ferns and staghorns. native plants were cultivated with care. walter's sons, first john and then william, lived in the house after their father moved to brighton, but walter travelled up each day to work in the nursery until his death in 1914. in 1917 the nursery was sold to a limited company, e. & w. hackett limited, with william continuing as director for three years. in the same year the business bought a plot in the millswood estate for over £20,067 to accommodate the nursery, which drew glowing praise in a 1923 newspaper article and continued to do business there until 1952. marryatville high school, on kensington road in marryatville, notable for its music program, is located within the suburb. the school was formerly norwood boys technical school until it was renamed and opened to both sexes in 1976. eden park, the grand two-storey victorian house built by the scarfe family, is now used as the high school's year 12 campus; the timber stables, have been converted into a music centre. in 2005 marryatville's performing arts centre, the forge, was opened. it serves as a performance area for year 11 and 12 drama productions and is also used by outside theatre groups. the film "hey hey it's esther blueburger" (2008) included several scenes filmed at the school. loreto college is an independent roman catholic primary and secondary day and boarding school for girls, situated on the corner of portrush road and kensington road in marryatville. the local state primary school, marryatville primary school, is actually located in the adjacent suburb kensington. there is a business precinct commonly known as marryatville shops, or marryatville/kensington park precinct, which straddles four suburbs, near the junction of kensington road and tusmore avenue in leabrook. the enclosed marryatville shopping centre is located on the corner of kensington road and tusmore avenue. the shopping centre was first developed for bi-lo supermarket in 1980–1981, this being demolished and rebuilt redeveloped in 2005–06. it includes a woolworths supermarket, newsagency, butchery, liquor store, bakers delight bakery, yogurt shop, pharmacy, dine-in café and asian food take-away shop. along kensington road in marryatville, there is a petrol station, hairdresser, pizza shop and other businesses. over the road in kensington there is the marryatville hotel, and a little east of this, there are other shops, the kensington park post office, and the heritage-listed regal theatre, built in 1925 in art deco style. on the south side of kensington raod in leabrook is the heritage-listed building built in 1883 as the original marryatville primary school, now housing a large health centre and restaurant. kai hahto (born 31 december 1973 in vaasa, finland) is a finnish musician and drummer. hahto was a member of the grindcore band rotten sound. hahto then recorded with the band wintersun as a session drummer before joining them as a band member. hahto has an endorsement relationship with meinl cymbals, pearl drums and hardware, balbex drumsticks, roland v-drums and finfonic earphones. on 6 august 2014, it was announced that hahto will be playing drums on the forthcoming nightwish album, replacing jukka nevalainen, who went on hiatus from the band due to insomnia, and hahto performed on all live shows since that date. on july 15, 2019, hahto became nightwish's permanent drummer following nevalainen's decision not to return to the band. kuam-lp, uhf analog channel 20, was a low-powered cbs-affiliated television station serving the u.s. territory of guam that was licensed to tamuning. the station was owned by pacific telestations, inc. kuam-lp began telecasting on november 20, 1995 with cbs programming, which had previously been shared between ktgm and sister station kuam-tv, who wanted to focus more on their abc and nbc affiliations, respectively. the move would result in adding more of their respective networks' programming for each station, as opposed to airing selected cbs shows for kuam-tv and ktgm to air. kuam-lp also carried programs from the wb on a secondary basis from their inception until june 2001, when it moved to ktgm. because of its lptv status, the station also aired its programming on cable channel 11, which helped reach its audience on the island. on february 18, 2009, kuam-lp began simulcasting on kuam's digital subchannel 8.2, extending its over-the-air reach throughout guam. kuam-lp was one of the few television stations to sign off at night. it signed off at 1:30 a.m. and did not air "up to the minute". instead, during its downtime, the station simply aired cbs network promos and public service announcements overnight. the station's license was canceled by the federal communications commission (fcc) on september 4, 2013. its cbs programming continues to air on kuam-dt2. chō-han bakuchi or simply is a traditional japanese gambling game using dice. the game uses two standard six-sided dice, which are shaken in a bamboo cup or bowl by a dealer. the cup is then overturned onto the floor. players then place their wagers on whether the sum total of numbers showing on the two dice will be "chō" (even) or "han" (odd). the dealer then removes the cup, displaying the dice. the winners collect their money. depending on the situation, the dealer will sometimes act as the house, collecting all losing bets. but more often, the players will bet against each other (this requires an equal number of players betting on odd and even) and the house will collect a set percentage of winning bets. the game was a mainstay of the bakuto, itinerant gamblers in old japan, and is still played by the modern yakuza. in a traditional chou-han setting, players sit on a tatami floor. the dealer sits in the formal seiza position and is often shirtless (to prevent accusations of cheating), exposing his elaborate tattoos. many japanese films, especially chambara and yakuza movies, feature chō-han scenes. it is also a playable minigame in most of the japanese video-games in the "ryū ga gotoku (yakuza)" series. payneham is a northeastern suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. it is part of a string of suburbs in adelaide's north-east with a high proportion of adelaide's italian-australian and french-australian residents, many of whom can be traced back to the large-scale migration following the second world war. payneham's northern boundary is payneham road, and portrush road passes south-north through the middle of the suburb. payneham was named for himself by samuel payne (c. 1803–1847), who with his wife ann, née maslen, and two children arrived in april 1838 aboard "lord goderich" from london, and occupied section 285, hundred of adelaide in 1839. payneham post office opened on 18 july 1850 and was renamed marden in 1968. royston park is a suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. this is a narrow suburb at a little more than 200 m wide. royston park is bordered by joslin and marden, along with the river torrens. royston park's most notable residents include adelaide abc radio presenter roger willis. the royston park post office closed in 1975. stepney is a small triangular near-city suburb of adelaide within the city of norwood payneham & st peters. stepney contains a mix of retail, manufacturing, professional services and distribution outlets within a cosmopolitan population strongly influenced by post world war ii immigration. for much of its history stepney has been largely working class with a preponderance of small houses and units on small blocks of land. however, stepney is now the home of much light industry. streets such as nelson street have lost their residents whilst other streets have seen the number of residents diminish as houses have been sold to accommodate a wide range of enterprises. stepney was named after an inner-city district in the london borough of tower hamlets by george muller (its founder) who hailed from there and in 1850 created the 'village of stepney' out of section 259, hundred of adelaide. muller built the maid and magpie hotel. whilst adelaide was to be a city of fine buildings and a refined populace, set free from the constraints of convict influence, george muller's stepney was to bear a strong resemblance to its less refined namesake, replete with slums, near the city of london. the early settlement of german settlers in stepney was, however, somewhat unusual. though not as well known as the prussians who settled klemzig, hahndorf or tanunda, they were there in sufficient numbers to develop schools for their children. notable members of this community were hans heysen and carl laubman of laubman and pank. during 2008 the last three cottages in nelson street, described as "built by haken linde, a successful member of the german community," were marked for demolition by the norwood payneham st peters council. significant calls were made for the cottages to be preserved and the cottages were retained. stepney was, despite its humble beginnings, not without influence and in 1851 the south australian ballot association was set up and at the maid and magpie hotel and on the 11 february 1851, the secret ballot was advocated. this movement was most significant in the development of south australia's democratic system. returning miners from the gold rushes of ballarat and bendigo were instrumental in building many of adelaide's fine homes and businesses. stepney shared in this phenomenon with some substantial residences amid the poorer houses, though bankruptcy was never far from those who acquired wealth quickly. in the early 1860s semi-rural stepney was the haunt of some rather colourful characters who operated around adelaide's parklands. the area around the maid and magpie hotel was the scene of various robberies by the romantically named captain moonlight, not to be confused with the better known bushranger in new south wales named captain moonlight. stepney's highwayman, it later transpired, was armed with nothing more lethal than a camouflaged pipe-case and, after incarceration, became a respected member of society. the equally romantically named captain thunderbolt, not to be confused with captain thunderbolt in new south wales, was said to roam the area and even emulated the mythical robin hood... richard dawes, carpenter of prospect village, returning home... was... attacked by captain thunderbolt... mr dawes [handed] him his purse, but on inspecting it [found] some few silver coins of little value; [captain thunderbolt] said, "oh! i see you're a poor man like myself and i don't want to injure you..." by the 1870s stepney contained many small houses with small backyards and no drainage. they were considered to be hotbeds of disease and fever. these houses, however, gave stepney much of its racy nature with its inhabitants developing strength in their inevitable struggles with life. in the late 1870s these struggles evidenced themselves in the pilfering of firewood and the subsequent use of dynamite in planted logs by the firewood owners, to exact retribution. during this time stepney became the home of some significant industries lured by proximity to the city and the development of improved transport. in 1888 the phoenix distillery at 42 nelson street was bought by douglas tolley and his brother ernest, together with a london distiller thomas scott. they traded in the name of tolley, scott and tolley. tolley, scott & tolley was, at one time, australia's leading brandy producer. toward the end of the 19th century, stepney was briefly the home and a place of schooling for a very young hans heysen. hans was awarded an order of the british empire and subsequently knighted for his service to art. stepney continued to develop. larger houses were built and around the turn of the century more houses were built in the area further from the city and adjoining maylands. however, peace and prosperity was interrupted by the first world war. a search of the national archives of australia reveals that 38 soldiers enlisted showing their place of birth as stepney, an extraordinary number given the small size of the suburb. post-1945 stepney again underwent change as large numbers of refugees from war-torn europe moved in. shops began selling previously unheard of foods such as salami or artichokes and the flowers in often tiny front gardens were replaced by vegetables. again, the number of children increased and second creek and the small number of spare allotments became their playgrounds, complete with re-enactments of battles fought far away. houses changed colour, copying those found greece and italy and the streets resounded with voluble italian, greek and ironically - german. this influx of residents was to be a brief hiatus amid the loss of movement toward industrialisation as future generations, now more affluent, moved away from often painful memories and their houses were taken over by industries eager to locate near to the city or removed to provide wider roads. stepney is bounded on its north-west side by payneham road which connects adelaide city, via north terrace, to payneham and felixstow and beyond to suburbs such as highbury and thence to the adelaide hills. magill road, the southern boundary, connects the city-centre, via north terrace, to kensington park and beyond to magill and then the adelaide hills. on its eastern side it is bounded by frederick street. stepney is intersected by nelson street which divides stepney into two roughly distinct areas. nelson street also provides part of a near-city link between the eastern and northern suburbs via the stephen terrace bridge between st peters and gilberton. generally, the area to the east of nelson street contains larger allotments, though there are some notable exceptions. the area to the west of nelson street generally contains smaller allotments and is more heavily industrialised. apart from some relatively small, though significant reserves, stepney is residential and industrial. industrial development dominates the area to the west of nelson street, whilst residential development continues to dominate the area to the east of nelson street. stepney is strongly sought for its closeness to the city and for its small historical properties which are easily cared for and yet retain their heritage. a report on rents in the advertiser titled "rental tenants hit hard in the pocket; by chris day the city (south australia) 02-28-2007" states... kent town was joint eighth with a cost of $362 a week, while st peters, college park, hackney, and stepney shared 14th spot with $341 a week. accelerating the move away from its working-class roots. stepney adjoins the suburb of kent town, at which the observations below were taken. it has a temperate climate, with relatively hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. stepney is represented in the dunstan electorate in the parliament of south australia, and within the division of adelaide in the australian house of representatives. stepney, being near to the city and bounded by major roads, is well serviced by bus services. bus routes include: stepney has a tradition of self-help with formal and informal care groups. within this tradition the following groups now serve the local community... stepney has been the home of several schools though changing populations and the presence of excellent nearby schools has meant their demise with their former premises now offering a testimony to the conflict between high ideals and reality. only the agnes goode kindergarten remains, fittingly acting as a memorial to past schools and a rather feisty justice of the peace and former political and social activist. early records mention schools provided for the german settlers in stepney, though little is known of them. in 1855 a school in stepney, run by m a moody with 34 students was gazetted in the south australian government gazette. in the late 1890s, the king's grammar school and somersal house school existed in stepney. both no longer exist as schools. st joseph's catholic school was located for a time after the second world war, next to the church that gave it life, and overlooking second creek. sadly, the children's laughter that echoed over the creek and among the church buildings is now gone. agnes goode kindergarten is located in cornish street. trinity gardens is a suburb of adelaide, south australia. the name is taken from "holy trinity church". on 28 march 1840 the trustees of holy trinity; osmond gilles, charles mann and james hurtle fisher, were given approximately of land in the area, as "glebe" lands, by pascoe st leger grenfell. the land came to be known as "trinity glebe". "north norwood" post office opened around 1886, was renamed "trinity gardens" in 1950 and "st morris" in 1963, when the second trinity gardens office opened in the present area of the suburb. trinity gardens is in the city of norwood payneham st peters local government area, the south australian house of assembly electoral district of dunstan and the australian house of representatives division of sturt. st morris is a suburb of adelaide in the city of norwood payneham st peters. "north norwood" post office opened around 1886, was renamed "trinity gardens" in 1950 and "st morris" in 1963 before closing in 1988. john david lemay (born may 29, 1962) is a former american actor who has starred in tv shows and in films. lemay was born in saint paul, minnesota and moved to normal, illinois in his teens. he went to normal community high school and participated in school plays and got into both singing and acting. lemay went to illinois state university and got a bachelor of science degree and completed a double major in music and musical theatre. he moved to los angeles in 1985 to star on tv. he appeared on hit tv shows like "the facts of life". in the late 1980s, lemay became known for his role in the cult horror tv series "" as ryan dallion from 1987-1989. in 1993, he went on to play steven freeman in "". he also starred in two short-lived tv series, "eddie dodd" and "over my dead body". in recent years john has returned to his musical theater roots starring in a regional production of "legally blonde" in 2014. barbara garson (born july 7, 1941 in brooklyn) is an american playwright, author and social activist, perhaps best known for the play "macbird!" garson attended the university of california, berkeley, where she earned a b.a. specializing in classical history in 1964. she was active in the free speech movement, as the editor of "the free speech movement newsletter", which was printed on an offset press that she herself had restored. she was one of 800 arrested on december 2, 1964 at a sit-in at sproul hall, berkeley, following the "machine speech" by mario savio. in 1968, garson had a child, juliet, and in 1969 she went to work at the shelter half, an anti-war gi coffee house near fort lewis army base in tacoma, washington. in the early 1970s, she moved to manhattan, publishing short, humorous essays and theater reviews primarily for the village voice as well as plays. garson's most famous work, "macbird!", a 1966 counterculture drama/political parody of "macbeth" is "one of the most controversial plays produced in the 1960s". it was originally intended for an anti-war teach-in at berkeley. the first edition, which was self-published on the same offset press as the "free speech movement newsletter", had sold over 200,000 copies by 1967 when the play opened in new york in a production starring stacy keach, william devane, cleavon little, and rue mcclanahan. while these then-unknown actors went on to become fixtures in american theater, movies and television, the author "disappeared from public view at the height of fame". the play has since seen over 300 productions worldwide and sold over half a million copies". macbird is remembered as an attack on then-u.s. president lyndon johnson. in fact, it presented johnson's predecessor, john kennedy, and his would-be successor robert kennedy as equally unacceptable but more dangerously alluring. garson wanted her fellow 1960s activists to step away from the democratic party and create their own institutions, including a third party. to that end, she could sometimes be seen outside of california theaters where macbird was playing, gathering signatures to put the peace and freedom party on the ballot. critical reaction was mixed and the play "has had advocates and detractors of equal stature." dwight macdonald, in "the new york review of books", called it "the funniest, toughest-minded most ingenious political satire i've read in years…" robert brustein wrote that "although this play is bound to start a storm of protest (not all of it unjustified) and may even be suppressed by some government agency, it will probably go down as one of the brutally provocative works in the american theater as well as one of the most grimly amusing," and praised garson as "an extraordinarily gifted parodist." garson's next full-length play, "going co-op" (1972), was a comedy about residents of an upper west side apartment house going co-op and a floundering left wing political collective that comes home to help organize the tenants who cannot afford to change from renters to owners. it was written with fred gardner, who is credited with founding the first of the vietnam-era gi coffee houses. garson's musical children's play "the dinosaur door", set on a class trip to the natural history museum, was performed at the theater for the new city in 1976. it featured a cast of children including seven-year-old mark vincent, now known as the action hero vin diesel. it was awarded an obie for playwriting in 1977. a village voice review said about "the dinosaur door": "what's so marvelous is the richness of this stew, the... world behind the exhibits and the absolutely on-the-mark funny, sympathetic kids—each special and practical, each a person in his own or her own right. i liked the satirical but warmly affectionate eye with which garson sees every character and the show's tenderly complex relationships. i like that garson is not chary with ideas because she is writing for kids." a teleplay of "the dinosaur door" was commissioned by producer-director joyce chopra in 1982, but no film of the play was made. a full-length play, "the department" (1983), written for and performed by the organizing group women office workers (wow), is set in a bank's back office that is about to be automated. "the department", though a light farce, sets out many of the problems that garson expands on in her 1989 book "the electronic sweatshop". in addition to plays, garson is the author of four non-fiction books: these books address complex phenomena of capitalism through dramatic anecdotes and interviews. each describes a historical turning point through the voices of a range of people who may or may not fully grasp the changes happening in their own lives. in "money makes the world go around", garson explicates the global economy by depositing her book advance in a one branch small town bank, and then following that money's theoretical path around the world. at one point, her money was invested in suez, the french company that owned johannesburg's water system. when protesters were arrested for opposing price increases and water shut offs, garson organized a "shareholders" demonstration on their behalf in front of the south african consulate in new york city. garson insists that activism is essential to her writing. but her plays and non-fiction feature layered characters and plot twists that are often irrelevant or even inimical to liberal and socialist tenets. indeed, "money makes the world go around" was largely ignored by the anti-globalization movement within which garson was active, while a wall street journal review said "ms. garson recounts her travels with a disarmingly balanced combination of amazement and social concern" and business week said "...her voice is so persistently good-natured and her intelligence so obvious that by the end of this curious capitalist's baedeker you can't help but trust her gentle judgments." her latest book, "down the up escalator: how the 99 percent live in the great recession", is concerned with the effects of the great recession "reshaping people's lives and prospects". kirkus reviews admires garson's "brutal clarity" and calls it a "skillful presentation that lifts the veil". george packer, writing in "the new yorker", says of garson, "she's written several books of social reportage about work and money, and this steady engagement over many decades has honed an appealing voice: wry, modest, realistic...like a sympathetic but slightly critical friend, ready with a hug and unable not to give advice." garson is the author of over 150 articles in publications including "harper's, the new york times, mccalls, newsweek, geo, the village voice, ms, the washington post, the boston globe, the baltimore sun, the los angeles times, the denver post, the australian, newsday, modern maturity, mother jones, the arizona republic, the guardian, the nation, il posto, znet" and the "nation" institute's tomdispatch.com. garson was awarded an obie for "the dinosaur door" and a special commission from the new york state council on the arts, for the creation of plays for younger audiences. she has received a guggenheim fellowship, a national endowment for the arts fellowship, a louis m. rabinowitz foundation grant, the new york public library books to remember award and library journal's best business books of 1989 award, and a macarthur foundation grant for reading and writing. in the 1992 u.s. presidential election, garson was the running mate for j. quinn brisben on the socialist party usa ticket, replacing bill edwards, who died during the race. in august 1992, she received a message on her answering machine: "we're sorry to tell you that the socialist vice-presidential candidate, bill edwards, has died. we would like your help in writing a press release for the newspapers. and also, would you like to run for vice president?", which she initially believed to be a joke. garson was active in the protest movement against corporate globalization and the protests in advance of the iraq war. she was in attendance at zuccotti park during the occupy wall street protests in 2011. in macroeconomic theory, liquidity preference is the demand for money, considered as liquidity. the concept was first developed by john maynard keynes in his book "the general theory of employment, interest and money" (1936) to explain determination of the interest rate by the supply and demand for money. the demand for money as an asset was theorized to depend on the interest foregone by not holding bonds (here, the term "bonds" can be understood to also represent stocks and other less liquid assets in general, as well as government bonds). interest rates, he argues, cannot be a reward for saving as such because, if a person hoards his savings in cash, keeping it under his mattress say, he will receive no interest, although he has nevertheless refrained from consuming all his current income. instead of a reward for saving, interest, in the keynesian analysis, is a reward for parting with liquidity. according to keynes, money is the most liquid asset. liquidity is an attribute to an asset. the more quickly an asset is converted into money the more liquid it is said to be. according to keynes, demand for liquidity is determined by three motives: the liquidity-preference relation can be represented graphically as a schedule of the money demanded at each different interest rate. the supply of money together with the liquidity-preference curve in theory interact to determine the interest rate at which the quantity of money demanded equals the quantity of money supplied (see is/lm model). a major rival to the liquidity preference theory of interest is the time preference theory, to which liquidity preference was actually a response. in "man, economy, and state" (1962), murray rothbard argues that the liquidity preference theory of interest suffers from a fallacy of mutual determination. keynes alleges that the rate of interest is determined by liquidity preference. in practice, however, keynes treats the rate of interest as "determining" liquidity preference. rothbard states "the keynesians therefore treat the rate of interest, not as they believe they do—as determined by liquidity preference—but rather as some sort of mysterious and unexplained force imposing itself on the other elements of the economic system." criticism emanates also from post-keynesian economists, such as circuitist alain parguez, professor of economics, university of besançon, who "reject[s] the keynesian liquidity preference theory ... but only because it lacks sensible empirical foundations in a true monetary economy". located in portland, maine, the maine humanities council was founded in 1975 as a private nonprofit affiliate of the national endowment for the humanities. it is one of 56 humanities councils in the united states and its territories. the organizational mission states: "the maine humanities council engages the people of maine in the power and pleasure of ideas, encouraging a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, fostering wisdom in an age of information, and providing context in a time of change. the council uses the humanities to provide cultural enrichment for all mainers and as a tool for social change, bringing people together in conversation that crosses social, economic and cultural barriers." the council's programs are statewide. they include literacy and reading and discussion initiatives for child care providers and preschoolers ("born to read"), adult new readers ("new books, new readers"), rural mainers and summer and year-round communities ("let's talk about it"), and health care professionals ("literature & medicine: humanities at the heart of health care", which was created by the council and has traveled to other states, becoming a national model). the council also offers a program for maine teachers that introduces new content and new topics ("teachers for a new century"). the council also offers letters about literature, a national program from the center for the book in the library of congress that encourages young people to write letters to their favorite authors, living or dead. in 2006, lacy craven, a maine participant in this program, was a national winner. in 1997, the council incorporated into its organizational structure the harriet p. henry center for the book. the national center for the book was established in the library of congress in 1977 to promote books, reading, libraries, and literacy. the maine humanities council established the harriet p. henry center for the book as one of the maine state affiliates of the national program. it is one of only eight state humanities councils to be awarded this responsibility. while most of the council's work is in direct public humanities and educational programs that bring people together around books, it is also a grantmaker. since 1976, the council has distributed over $4 million in grants to maine libraries, museums, historical societies, colleges, schools, literacy groups, adult education programs, towns, and other organizations. in 2002, the council's literature & medicine program was named as a patient quality initiative by the maine hospital association. the program then received the 2003 helen & martin schwartz prize for excellence in public programming from the federation of state humanities councils. the council's national awards include a 1998 award of merit from the american association of state and local history for the century project and the 1998 helen & martin schwartz prize for excellence in public programming given by the federation of state humanities councils for the odyssey project. most recently, the council received three national awards for its taxing maine program: the award of merit and the wow award from the american association for state and local history and the 2007 helen & martin schwartz prize from the federation of state humanities councils. "taxing maine" is now available on the council's humanities on demand podcast. the council is located on brighton avenue in portland, maine. aflao is a town in ketu south district in the volta region on ghana's border with togo. aflao is the twenty-eighth most populous settlement in ghana, in terms of population, with a population of 96,550 people. in the 18th century, aflao served as one of the major markets for the slave trade. aflao is located on the eastern coast of ghana and is the major border town with neighbouring togo. aflao as a traditional area has togbui amenya fiti v as its paramount chief. he is the traditional ruler of the land and performs traditional administrative and ceremonial functions in the area. the diamond cement ghana limited factory is located at aflao. in early 2014, a 2.5 km rail siding was completed to connect the cement works to the port of lomé. this siding crosses the border from togo to ghana and is of the gauge. arthur wise may refer to: lot 62 is a township in queens county, prince edward island, part of st. john's parish. lot 62 was awarded to richard spry, esquire in the 1767 land lottery, and came to be settled through the efforts of thomas douglas, the 5th earl of selkirk in 1803. richard spry, esquire, was then commodore, commander-in-chief, mediterranean fleet at gibraltar 1766–1769. becoming the proprietor, he would be familiar with then the island of st. john, having first come out to north america in 1754, with the english naval blockade of ile royal and the fortress of louisbourg in 1756, and then serving off quebec and in the st. lawrence into 1759. in 1762, he returned as commander-in-chief, north america, quartered in halifax. at the end of 1763, sir john perceval, 2nd earl of egmont, and first lord of the admiralty, acting for a private syndicate of london elite, suggested, for the new treaty of paris (1763) possessions on the island of st. john, a land settlement scheme encouraging trade and defence, along the lines of a feudal tenancy. this the 'egmont scheme' was soundly rejected, strongly opposed by 'the lords commissioner for trade and plantations', so an alternative scheme offered by 'the board of trade' was taken up, late in 1764, and in revision came to be approved by the king's privy council of the united kingdom. however, the board of trade scheme was not acted upon until 1767, with the granting by lottery of the lands of the island of st. john, to individuals having claims upon the government. even with well-defined, and 'strict' conditions of settlement there were more many 'individuals' than just the egmont syndicate, interested in a grant of proprietorship, than there were lots available, so the lords commissioner for trade and plantations, devised their 1767 lottery to be organized by ballot, for candidates vetted and approved by the board of trade. the journals of the board of trade and plantations, volume 12: january 1764 - december 1767. journal of july 1767 - volume 74, folio no. 256 - thursday, july 23, 1767, states: "the following distribution of the lots or townships in the island of st. john, according as they were mentioned upon the map or survey of the island, was this day decided upon in their lordships' presence by ballot, in the form and manner set down in the minutes of the 8th instant, several of the said proponents or their agents attending, vizt." they granted: richard spry, esquire - lot 62. in addition to being divided into lots, each lot having been commodified as to its potential market value, having their rent set on an economic value. the financial obligation being: "that the quit rents, to be reserved on the several lots, be more, as near as may be, proportioned to the value of the lands". specifically, a "quit rent of 4s per 100 acres was reserved" on lot 62. so, what did richard spry, esquire, get in lot 62, as quantified by samuel holland's in notes attached to his survey? as to the "quality. the soil in most cases is bad, the woods in general very bad. approximately 10 acres of cleared land and two houses." with noted "remarks. there are some good marsh which would do very well for pasture or produce a good deal of hay. it is too far from the fishing ground to have any advantage in the respect." after a full thirty-five years on active service, as then sir richard spry, rear admiral of the red, he died unmarried, on 25 nov 1775, at place house, in st anthony in roseland, cornwall. sir richard's estate passed to his sister mary and her son thomas davy, captain rn, they, as coheirs assuming proprietorship of lot 62. as an heir, honouring his uncle, captain davy took on the surname and arms of spry, becoming captain thomas spry, in april 1779, remaining in active service until 1783. while serving as a county magistrate, and standing as a reserved list vice-admiral of the blue, in 1799, the spry's lot 62, amongst many, was noted, in default for the third time, as the subject of no effort to satisfy the 1767 lottery 'conditions of settlement' - and became open to consideration for escheat. sharing proprietorship of lot 62, from 1775, the question may be why would spry's heirs fail in their obligations of proprietorship for lot 62. there are two early possibilities, they being pressed by the legislative assembly of prince edward island, stemming from the principal conditions in the lottery. a first possibility is for failure to settle, the lot reverting to the crown, for their not arranging for the required number of settlers, within the laid down ten-year deadline; or forfeiting the lot, under conditions of distraint, for failing in the first four years to settle even one third of the lot. arguing for escheat, a text published by john stewart, in 1806, recalled that lot 62 had previously been the subject of no effort to satisfy the conditions of settlement; 1769: lot 62 – "nothing done", 1779: lot 62 – "nothing done" (report of settlement progress 1769 to 1779), and 1797: lot 62 – "not one settler resident there on" (house of assembly resolution notes). a second possibility is that sir richard's estate, and heirs may not have had any interest in paying, speculating on an eventual sale, without any actual investment, or not having the means to pay their quit-rent and it was lost for none payment of arrears. the annual charge to lot 62, from 1767, at 4s per 100 acres, being 40 £ pounds, accumulating as debt, up to 1797, would amount to an arrear of £1,200 pounds. the move to have lands forfeited for non-payment of quit-rent became very much a political issue in pei, this long after the initial deferral of all quit-rent in the first five years, of the grant, and their half reduction into the first ten years. actually protected from distraint and escheat, by london, it is most likely that lot 62 was 'simply' sold to discharge the accumulating debt, a land speculation inherited from an uncle, an investment gone bad. the spry estate would have long heard of actions of the pei lieutenant-governor and house of assembly, pressing on the secretary of state for the colonies and the home government, in its efforts to finally act on quit-rent arrears. as in 1802, the home government classified lot 62, as a 'township wholly unoccupied', and the proprietors were deemed obligated to pay fifteen years quit-rent, in lieu of all arrears, up to 1 may 1801. noted as a great relief and an encouragement to sell, with a considerable reduction, having to pay £600 on a debt of now £1,340, and getting money in a sale, the spry heirs were probably most anxious to dispose of their 20 000 acres, as were others, as nearly one third of the unsettled pei lots were sold and transferred, in 1803. thomas douglas, 5th earl of selkirk was born on 20 june 1771, and in canada, he is most noted as the scottish patron who sponsored the settlement at the red river colony in manitoba (1811). this following a settlement scheme first tried in prince edward island (1803), and a second in upper canada (1804). the 5th earl of selkirk died on 8 april 1820, in pau, france, where he is buried. always favouring large-scale emigration, having advanced his views repeatedly and with enthusiasm, in the winter of 1801/02, selkirk first put forward to the colonial office his belief of the need to provide new challenges to the catholic population of an oppressed ireland. soon recognizing that the government would not countenance the resettlement of irish immigrants in america, selkirk offered in the alternative the emigration of protestant scottish highlanders. again unable to interest the british government in approving settlement in western canada, he then seen to be acting against the interests of the hudson's bay company, selkirk turned to upper canada. in this second initiative he faced a 'provincial' government, from the outset, that was inherently hostile to the introduction of a major absentee landholder, into their colony. selkirk quickly saw the elite of upper canada were unsympathetic to any of his proposals, and consequently, his second canadian scheme was not to soon be realized, when the colonial office refused to sanction the scheme. after furious activity on his part, early in 1803, having recruited his highlanders in 1802-1803, the home office allowed they might look favourably on a settlement on prince edward island, where unsettled lands could be had cheaply, without involving the colonial office, or the colony. coming to understand the island, learning of its potential through john stewart, with arranged purchases from private proprietors, by july 1803, his first expedition had set out. despite the lateness of the first season (for clearing of land or planting), with hindrances and disputes over land preferences, by the time he left in late september 1803, his pei settlers were well on their way to being properly established. the first documented european visitor to lot 62 was thomas douglas, 5th earl of selkirk who observed of his 'visits' in his extensive and detailed diary. he suggests, of his first visit, of monday, 8 august 1803, that he had perhaps been over-sold on lot 62, like many others taking it over sight unseen. "at one place, i went a little into the wood, & saw large stumps – i learnt on arriving at charlotte town, that all this coast had been laid waste by a great fire 30 or 40 years ago: – the soil however appears very poor sand. this is lot 62, & does not seem to answer the high description j: s: gave of this quarter of the island – perhaps the inland part might be better:" preparing to leave the island, after seeing to the settlement of his summer arrivals, making his way to nova scotia, he reflects more positively, of lot 62, in his entry of 18 september 1803. "day light found us very near the spot where i first landed on the island, we continued with the ebb along shore toward wood islands, under a high shore apparently much better land than we landed upon further west. ... the land is good above the bank – beech maple & birch with a few very spruce, as on the north on point prim – this high ridge seems to continue all the way from wood islands inland to belfast behind the low swampy ground which forms the coast towards flat river –" lot 62 had come to be owned by lord selkirk, who started its 'settlement' in 1803, as his first three chartered ships: the polly (7 august 1803), the dykes (9 august 1803) and the oughton (27 august 1803) brought scottish highlanders, to the island, some of whom found their way to lot 62, and started two small communities that stand today. lot 62 - belle creek. angus bell, of isle colonsay, with wife, settled belle river, pei. donald mcdougall, a native of the isle of skye, with wife, settled belle river, pei. alex martin, of isle of skye, settled in belle river, he a petitioner for dr. macaulay in 1811. alexander stewart settled in belle river, pei. alexander nicholson, of the isle of skye, settling at belle creek. charles stewart, of skye, with wife mary mcmillan, and children, settled in belle river, pei. donald stewart, of skye, with wife catherine morrison, settled in belle river,pei. lot 62 - wood islands. of the first arrivals and earnest settlers, donald gillis, a petitioner later for dr. macaulay in 1811, settled on wood islands road. malcolm mcisaac, from uist, isle of skye, located at wood islands, and mrs mackenzie (elizabeth) settled on wood islands road. following these first selkirk arrivals to the island, while facing new challenges in upper canada, he continued to arrange the recruiting and transit of settlers, to his growing island estate, from stornoway, kintyre and lockaber. his agent in scotland – james robertson (the recruiter), after the northern friends in 1805, was able to organize, sufficient emigrants for four ships into 1806. the 'northern friends' of clyde, coming from stornoway arrived on 3 october 1805, a brigantine of 245 tons, captained by archibald mcpherson, she brought 91 settlers from the outer hebrides and wester ross. listed as arriving at flat river, many took up land on lots 31 and 60, which selkirk had only recently acquired, and others on lot 62 at belle creek, samuel nicholson and john cameron, and at wood islands, five families settled on 100-acre farms, there paying 2s per acre. the 'rambler' of leith, coming from mull, arrived on june 20, 1806, a brigantine of 296 (294) tons, built in 1800, with master: captain james norris. it left the west highlands and the isle of mull with 129 (130) passengers, seeing some settle on lots 62 and 65, donald stewart, settled in lot 62 and some onto lot 58. the 'humphreys' of london of 250 tons, built 1785 in stockton with master: captain john young of tobermory, mull carried passengers from the west highlands and islands of mull and colonsay. arriving on 14 july 1806, with 96/97 passengers, some are noted as going to lots 62 and 65. the 'isle of skye' of aberdeen, of 182 tons, newly built in 1806, with captain john thorn, of liverpool, as master, also arrived at charlottetown in july 1806. coming from the west highlands and islands of mull and colonsay it carried 37 passengers, some settling on lots 62 and 65. on 22 september 1806, the "spencer" of newcastle upon tyne , a brigantine of 330 tons, built in 1778 in shields, with forster h. brown as master, reached pinette harbour where the collector of customs, william townsend, enumerated 115 passengers. coming from oban, argyllshire, arriving late in the season, her passengers spent the winter at pinette, with provisions and in quarters provided by selkirk, and in the spring, they moved onto the wood islands and lot 62. most like malcolm, neil, james and angus munn negotiated contiguous lots of 100 acres along the road to wood islands. although neil munn never developed his land and james operated a shipyard, the brother's acreage appear side-by-side on an early "plan of township 62." as selkirk wished, more emigrants followed the mcneills, mcmillans and munns, they a critical mass that exceeded sixty individuals, young and old, and more than half the emigrants from the 'spencer'. the mcmillan's (of clan macmillan) coming originally from colonsay in argyle, on the 'spencer' had thought to settle in little sands, however, after setting their fishing nets at wood islands and rewarded with a bountiful catch, they decided to make their homes there. selkirk's separation from prince edward island, with his focus on the red river colony, meant his agents on the island were constantly improvising, dealing with misconceptions and criticisms, usually acting without direction. criticism of thomas douglas first came from his settlers, unhappy that he was not keeping promises, they dealing through his estate managers. of his son, dunbar douglas, 6th earl of selkirk, criticism came from the many factions in political engagement, with continuing questions of quit-rents, their fairness to tenants and of obligations of lot proprietorship. from their first to their last estate manager, the douglas's expected much of them, accustomed as they were to loyal scottish subordinates, their managers instead acting independently, ignoring their interests and the estate's accounts, almost inevitably acquiring their own priorities, pretensions, and political ambitions. the 5th earl's first estate manager, james williams, though arriving late on the 'oughton', living in charlottetown, was quick to take to his own interests. williams from the outset, continual drawing upon selkirk's account, failed to report of his work, and by july 1806, offered selkirk no return on his lands, in land sales, in rents or from commerce. worried about the finances, and the progress of his settlement, even late into 1809, with large arrears of advances to settlers, as well as returns from sales of land and timber, for paying of the his quit-rents, selkirk had received no reports. it is suggested selkirk had thought to give up on the island, though not immediately prepared to replace williams, as he had to yet receive a report of his island accounts, considering if possible to sell his holdings. it was not until may 1815, that an island court ordered an 'attachment' on williams, that was not to be followed up, selkirk winning in court but never recovering assets, and monies lost to his estate manager. the focus of their island managers, over seventeen years, for thomas douglas, up to 1820, and then forty years for dunbar douglas, up to 1860, it seems, to a man they did not place their charge, and the selkirk interests, at the top on their priority list. from the first, james williams: 1803 to 1811, shortly by charles stewart: 1811 to 1813, and eventually william douse: 1833 to 1860, there was always something more interesting politically and financially beneficial in which to engage. an 1841 pei census document reveals one valuable perspective on dunbar douglas, of his interest in continuing to settle lot 62, that is not positive and infers progressive actions of the estate manager (william douse) are all but missing. "there are no persons in the township whose passage has been paid by the proprietor and the same may be said the other three townships [in this district] with the exception of five or six indentured servants brought out from scotland in 1803 by the earl of selkirk, and who afterwards received small allotments of land for their services. a few of the young men employed in the shipyards belong to other parts of the country though they have been resident in the district for the last 8 or 9 months. in this township there are several poor families who only arrived on the island last fall and who have not yet taken up any land, some of whom will most probably settle in some other parts of the country in consequence of the little encouragement held forth to them by the proprietor's agent. in the rear of this township there are several new settlers who raised no crops. on the whole of the lot there is but one half-finished church, one grist mill frequently out of repair and one very indifferent school house. there are no brewing or distilling establishments." if it were not for financial gain, and political advantage, william douse, the last estate agent, holding a power of attorney from the 6th earl, would show little interest in the good of the estate. douse found the time and benefit, from 1834, in representing the third electoral district, of queens county, where in the house, he was noted as an uninspired member, who spoke only on routine business affecting his district. in addition to numerous business engagements, douse found the resources to become a landowner, in 1855, purchasing 14,000 acres from the 6th earl, having negotiated his own price. a self-serving endeavour, douse acted seeing the rush to sell in the 1854 'private sale' of the worrell estate, perhaps to pre-empt later agitations to the earl, and the 'attempting' of forced purchases by the government. with a lack of financial return, on considerable outlays, with indifferent tenants, some refusing to pay their rents, a 'distracted' estate manager, knowing of the worrell sale, it was perhaps finally the tensions falling out of 'land purchase act', that would cause the 6th earl to consider selling his pei holdings. in 1853, the island's 'land purchase act' sought to empower it to 'force' the purchase of estates from absentee proprietors, who had not met the financial responsibilities of their land grant, a first effort was unsuccessful as it could not be legally enforced, the proprietors could not be forced to sell, and the government lacked the funds for their purchase. politically astute, or prompted by douse, perhaps intending to pre-empt the findings in the report of the 1860 land commissioners' court, dunbar douglas, offered his holdings to the island, embracing parts of lots 53, 57, 58, 59, 60 and lot 62, containing 62,059 acres, at a very reasonable rate, though much less than in the 'public sale' of the worrell estate. sold 'out and out' dunbar got clear of it all, the bad land as well as the good, selling the 'unproductive land' on which he could not collect rent, but must pay quit-rents. with the sale he was done with keeping on an agent, to collect small sums to be paid in a period extending for 10 to 20 more years, while perhaps continuing to not see profit from other commercial engagements. not knowing if his arrears of quit-rent of £12,000 to £14,000, were remitted or to be remitted, and forgiven, the offer was eagerly embraced and a large and valuable tract of 'province' became public property at the moderate cost of 6,586 17s 8d sterling or 9,880£ 6s 6d currency. the purchase described as "this fortunate purchase has been of immense service to that section of the country; brightening the hopes, and strengthening the energies of all; and pointing the way to the best solution of the land question in sections similarly situated." according to the canada 2011 census: belle river. formally known as 'belle creek' as a settlement of lot 62, c. 1803. surveyed by holland, 1765 / depicted on jeffreys, 1775. taking its name from the french name belle rivière, meaning "beautiful river". canada's department of the interior map, 1914, misspells it as 'bell river'. the micmac name is: mooinawa-seboo, meaning "bear river". the belle creek po opened in 1874 (with james cook as the post master) and continues as the belle river post office (c0a 1b0) today. today, belle river hosts two established businesses: 'belle river enterprises (1982) limited' - serving fishers working the northumberland strait, and now export based atlantic soy corp (2008). iris. formally known as 'pleasant valley' from c1863, as a settlement of lot 62 (and into lot 63). the name iris was given by post office department when service was opened, c1885 with angus beaton as the pm, the iris po closed in 1918. iris was adopted in place names of pei, 1925, and confirmed on 25 april 1946. little sands. a settlement of lot 62 (and lot 64), on plan 1829. the name was adopted in 1925, confirmed on 25 april 1946. named for the sandy shore between wood island and high bank, its little sands creek flows south into the northumberland strait (also dixon's creek) and was served by the little sands post office from c1859 to 1915. since 2012, little sands has hosted 'annually' 150 monastics, at a buddhist monastery, which additionally welcomes over 200 lay practitioners. in their interests, they have purchased numerous older farms in southern kings and eastern queens, to support a growing demand for vegetable organics. mount vernon. initially known as rona as an early settlement of lot 62 (and into lot 60), named for a small island in the scottish highland island hebrides. the rona post office opened c1874 with n. mckenzie as the post master and saw the rona school beginning in c1850. renamed, mount vernon by canada post office department, operating the post office until 1918, this new name was adopted on 25 april 1946. since 1998, mount vernon has welcomed two large landowners: 'wyman's (1998)' and "braggs: oxford frozen foods' – growing and processing wild low-bush blueberries, for export off island. wood islands. wood islands is community located on the northumberland strait, on the southernmost point of prince edward island. its historical 'status' designation as 'wood islands, settlement' was changed to 'wood islands, locality' - in 1972, when it became part of belfast district. while the islands are located on maps by jacques-nicolas bellin: karte bellin, 1744: 'i a bova'; louis franquet: cartes franquet, 1751: 'isle a bois'; as surveyed by samuel johannes holland (1764–65), and as depicted by thomas jeffreys, 1775, they are corrected situated in the basin. today, wood islands maintains its farming and fishing pursuits, with perhaps more land rented out than lord selkirk had intended, now being strongly committed to the tourism pillar of the island economic strategy. the community, in addition to benefiting from the'‘pei gateway east - welcome centre', and the northumberland ferries limited berths and terminal, hosts: the wood islands lighthouse; a confederation trail entryway at the ‘welcome centre; northumberland provincial park for overnight camping; and wood islands provincial park, a day use playground. darko ronald suvin (born darko šlesinger) is a yugoslav born academic, writer and critic who became a professor at mcgill university in montreal — now emeritus. he was born in zagreb, in which at the time was kingdom of yugoslavia, now the capital of croatia. after teaching at the department for comparative literature at the zagreb university, and writing his first books and poems in his native language (that is, in the standardized croatian variety of serbo-croatian language), he left yugoslavia in 1967. he is best known for several major works of criticism and literary history devoted to science fiction. he was editor of "science-fiction studies" (later respelled as "science fiction studies") from 1973 to 1980. after his retirement from mcgill in 1999, he has lived in lucca, italy. he is a fellow of the royal society of canada (academy of humanities and social sciences). in 2009, he received croatian sfera award for lifetime achievement in science fiction. also, he is member of croatian writers society (hdp). recently, suvin published the series of memoirs on his youth as member of the young communist league of yugoslavia during the nazi occupation of croatia and yugoslavia, and first years of josip broz tito's yugoslavia, in the croatian cultural journal "gordogan". his 2016 book "splendour, misery, and potentialities: an x-ray of socialist yugoslavia" (published in translation as "samo jednom se ljubi: radiografija sfr jugoslavije" in belgrade in 2014, in two printing), an attempt at dialectical history of socialist yugoslavia, is now widely quoted in most recent books and articles in the emerging field of "post-yugoslav studies". suvin was born in zagreb, kingdom of yugoslavia, on july 19, 1930 to a croatian jewish family of miroslav and truda (née weiser) šlesinger. in zagreb he attended the jewish elementary school in palmotićeva street. in 1939 his family changed the surname from šlesinger to suvin due to political situation and antisemitism caused by nazi propaganda. when suvin was a young child, there was great political strife in yugoslavia. originally a monarchy, yugoslavia quickly succumbed to the fascist occupation, and then later various other types of government. in the early 1940s, before the end of world war two, a nazi controlled bomb exploded close to suvin, an event that was ultimately responsible for piquing his interest in science fiction, not because of the technology behind the bomb, but because he realized in even a slightly alternative world, he may have been killed right then and there. many members of his family have perished during the holocaust, including his paternal grandparents lavoslav and josipa šlesinger. after world war two, suvin became even more infatuated with science fiction. he earned his phd from zagreb university, one of the most prestigious universities in europe. soon after, he published his first article, which was little more than a brief overview and survey of the sf genre. after getting his foot in the proverbial door, he continued making money by translating a wide variety of science fiction books into his native language. they included "the seedling stars" and "day of the triffids". in general, the more fascinating he found a book, the more likely he was to translate it. in yugoslavia during the early 1960s, suvin published his first book, a historical introduction to, or general overview of, science fiction as a whole. authors like asimov and heinlein were discussed in great detail, and several individual sf books were analyzed. the book also included the results of his first article initially published in 1957. in 1967, suvin emigrated to north america to teach in universities. shortly after arriving, college students in the united states were revolting. students wanted many things, but among them were more courses, one of which was science fiction. at this point, suvin's expertise was extremely desirable, and there were many educational institutions that were looking to hire him. suvin was hired as a science fiction professor at mcgill university in montreal in 1968. about five years later, the number of students signing up for sf courses dropped significantly, leaving him to teach english and literature courses. through his teaching career, he has published numerous works and contributed to the study of science fiction. in 1999, suvin retired and moved to italy, where he lives to this day. works of science fiction all begin with the idea of framing a hypothesis - a new thing or "novum". the most common of these hypotheses is likely time travel, although there are many thousands of distinct alternate realities used in books and movies that do not utilize time travel as a hypothesis. it is suvin's opinion that some of the most commercially successful works of sf have only used this idea of framing a hypothesis as an ornament. in other words, suvin believes that the most popular mainstream sf works, like "star wars", are not truly sf at heart—they simply utilize the genre as a way to take advantage of the special effects and uniqueness that go along with the genre. in suvin's opinion, the focus of the genre lies in encouraging new ways of thinking about human society, or to inspire those who are oppressed to resist. suvin has labeled this idea of subversive thinking as cognitive estrangement. those works of sf that could be characterized as using cognitive estrangement rely on no one particular hypothesis, but instead on the cognitive presentation of alternative realities that directly contradict the status quo. ella fitzgerald at the newport jazz festival: live at carnegie hall is a 1973 live album by the american jazz singer ella fitzgerald, accompanied by a reconstructed chick webb band, the pianist ellis larkins, and for the second half of the album, the tommy flanagan quartet (featuring joe pass). this was a historic night for fitzgerald, reuniting her with many members that had worked with her when she performed with the drummer and bandleader chick webb in the mid-1930s. fitzgerald is also reunited with the pianist ellis larkins, who accompanied on her 1950 album "ella sings gershwin". the second half of the record sees fitzgerald perform a typical set from this stage in her career. fitzgerald is introduced by the great jazz singer carmen mcrae on the second disc. mcrae also appeared on the 2001 remastered edition of fitzgerald's only other recorded appearance at the newport jazz festival, 1958's "ella fitzgerald and billie holiday at newport". disc one recorded july 5, 1973, by record plant remote in carnegie hall, new york city. aston eyre is a hamlet and civil parish in shropshire, england, about four miles west of bridgnorth. the area has a significant amount of green space. the spine road that runs through the centre of the village is the b4368. aston eyre was known as 'east farm/settlement'. it was held by robert son of aer (fitz aer) in 1212. previously, the village was distinguished by the affix wheaten, denoting a place where wheat was grown. in the years 1870-72 john marius wilson described aston eyre as "aston-eyre, a township in morvill parish, salop; 4 miles w by n of bridgeworth, acres, 1,330. pop., 85. houses, 19. it forms a curacy annexed to the vicarage of morvill". in the early 1800s the population was divided into people working with agriculture, trade and manufacturing. after 1845 the inhabitants' occupations started to diversify. by 1881, the dominating 2 occupations were in agriculture and services. from that date onward the numbers in agriculture dropped and the numbers in services increased. by 2001, the numbers in services were 16 times the numbers in agriculture. the settlement has evolved with in accordance to the industrial revolution. firstly heavy agriculture and then as that industry moves abroad, services takes over. the population & household census data for 2011 shows that at the time aston eyre had a total population of 271. the population density has been at a constant level of less than one person per hectare since 1880-2000. the biggest population increase was from the years 1930-1960, over these years the percentage increase was 5% in an accumulating fashion. there are 11 full-time students in aston eyre of which two are economically active. in total 81 people are economically active, 35 of which are self-employed, and nine are part-time workers. 270 residents out of 271 total are of white/english ethnicity. these demographics show that this parish is a typical english, rural settlement. aston eyre church has no religious dedication. it is described as a chapel of ease. the chapel was built in 1132 for the owners of the now ruined aston hall, which was later used for agricultural purposes in the 18th century. the church is located in the centre of the small hamlet. aston eyre hall was built in the mid-14th century and consists of two wings to the north and west, with a detached gatehouse to the east. the gatehouse has been converted into a functioning farm house and there is a similar barn to the north which dates to around 1613. the site was excavated by channel 4's time team programme in 1998. hardial singh bajaj (born april 5, 1905 in khanga dogran, british india died september 18, 1967 in singapore) was a prominent southeast asian of indian origin. he was the son of mehar singh (father) and thakur devi (mother), the eldest of six children. he was married to kirpal kaur, daughter of tara singh (lalaji). he then migrated to kuala lumpur, malaya and became a renowned textile merchant. he was associated with gian singh & co., hardial singh & co. and hardial singh & sons. “king of textiles” as pronounced by "the statesman" when he landed in calcutta, india. he was a property investor and a spices and films trader. during world war ii in singapore, the imperial japanese army anti-espionage department imprisoned and tortured him, burning him with cigarette butts thinking him to be a spy. sardar singh chatwal arranged for special meals and his release. he was rumoured to have been considered for knighthood and having lost that opportunity by unwittingly having imported shirts in violation of the "arrow" (shirts) trademark. he joined the indian independence league in 1945, during world war ii. he served as special supply officer for subhas chandra bose. he handed over custody of the sacks of gold entrusted to him during the war, to the indian overseas bank in singapore. jawaharlal nehru took possession of the gold on behalf of the indian government. source: narinjan singh bajaj, son of hardial singh a singapore pioneer. president of the indian chamber in singapore from 1949 to 1953. source: "the straits times" creetown (, sometimes ) is a small seaside town in the stewartry of kirkcudbright, in galloway in the dumfries and galloway council area in south-west scotland. its population is about 750 people. it is situated near the head of wigtown bay, west of castle douglas. the town was originally named ferrytown of cree (scottish gaelic: "port aiseig a' chrìch") as it formed one end of a ferry route that took pilgrims across the river cree estuary to the shrine of st ninian at whithorn. this is why the local football team, formed in 1895, are known as 'the ferrytoun'. creetown was formerly served by the portpatrick and wigtownshire railway. the granite quarries in the vicinity constituted the leading industry from about 1830 to 1900, the stone for the liverpool docks and other public works having been obtained from them. the village dates from 1785, and became a burgh of barony in 1792. sir walter scott laid part of the scene of the novel "guy mannering" in this neighbourhood. the clock tower commemorates queen victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897. the ellangowan hotel was used to portray the interior of the green man public house in robin hardy's film, "the wicker man" 1973. john knox stayed at barholm castle as guest of the maccullochs of barholm in 1566 while on a preaching tour of galloway. john keats and his friend charles armitage brown stayed at an inn here on their walking tour of scotland in 1818. dr thomas brown, the metaphysician (1778–1820), was a native of the parish in which creetown lies. james thompson (1788-1854) pastor was born in creetown, the son of william thomson and janet burnett, belonging to a family that professed the presbyterian religion. mary duchess of bedford, "the flying duchess", maintained a permanent landing ground (aa approved) from about 1926, used when travelling to her home, nearby cairnsmore house. hideo furuta (1949-2007) was a japanese sculptor, born in hiroshima, who settled at creetown. he worked the creetown granite from the disused kirkmabreck quarry. his work can be seen in the redesign of adamson square. the creetown heritage museum is a community-based resource detailing and recording the cultural, industrial and natural history of creetown and the surrounding area. it is run by a small volunteer committee who are constantly seeking to add to the collections of photographs, tools and artifacts from current and past village life. another ongoing project is the oral history project. senior members of the community have been invited to relate their memories of creetown during their lifetimes. the project has become a vital source of information and will be collated and documented for the future as a living reference to creetown over the last 70 years. the balloch wood community project arose from an approach by forestry commission scotland in 2001 to develop balloch wood as a community asset. over the following three years a great deal was achieved. the first of several new paths has been opened, which will eventually lead to a new network of walks extending outwards into the surrounding hills from the village. the new paths start less than 200m from kirkmabreck church and follow the balloch burn to the mid burn and then back down the centre of the woodland to the entrance. these paths have been added to by a new link path through the ancient woodland to the completed curling pond wildlife area. it is planned that a further path along the burnside to the balloch bridge will be developed in time to create a circular route. at the curling pond, an all-abilities path has been constructed around and, between the ponds, a small car park has also been completed for the use of the less able. it is hoped that local schools and other groups will use the ancient woodland as an open classroom to the benefit of the young people of the area. there is also the intention to introduce woodland sculptures and other significant artistic works which anyone can offer to be involved in. creetown f.c. is a football club based in creetown in the dumfries and galloway area of scotland. formed in 1905 as creetown rifle volunteers football club, they adopted their present name in

services were carried on the intelsat 8 satellite. selectv was created in melbourne in october 2003 by jim blomfield, a former chief executive officer of foxtel, as i-view broadcasting pty, ltd. it underwent multiple name changes, before finally being renamed as selectv broadcasting limited in october 2005. the companies focus was to provide comparatively low-cost premium content to specialist market segments, including australians whose first language was other than english and retirees. in august 2006, win corporation purchased 50.1% of the company for $23 million, acquiring overall company control. by april 2006, the company said it had approximately 2,000 subscribers. win corporation saw opportunity in the companies rapid expansion, and direct competition to the australian subscription television giant foxtel, acquiring the remaining 49.9% from access providers in october 2006. the company expanded its programming to over 40 television channels consisting of english-language channels, as well as various programming packages comprising foreign-language and special interest channels in greek, spanish, italian, german, and vietnamese. by 2009, due to low subscription to their language packages, selectv discontinued all german and vietnamese programming. by june 2010, the company had approximately 45,000 subscribers, well short of its target of 80,000. despite expanding their english language services, selectv failed to meet subscriber targets. in august 2010, it was reported that the company would cease broadcasting english programming by 15 november 2010. on 20 august 2010, selectv signed an agreement allowing its 22,000 english subscribers to voluntarily change to foxtel and austars subscription services without additional charges. on

subscription packages for greek programming. on 4 february 2011 selectv went into voluntary administration. on 7 february 2011 a creditors meeting was held where the company revealed that it was in debt of $26 million. the channel is no longer available in australia. "all the king's horses" is a short story written in or before 1951 by kurt vonnegut. it can be found in his collection of short stories "welcome to the monkey house". it derives its title from a line in the humpty dumpty nursery rhyme. the story takes place in the early years of the cold war and centers on u.s. army colonel bryan kelly, whose plane has crash-landed on the asiatic mainland. with him are his two sons, his wife, the pilot and co-pilot, and ten enlisted men. the sixteen prisoners are held captive by the communist guerrilla chief pi ying, who forces kelly to play a game of chess using his family and men as the white pieces, and himself as the king. any american pieces that pi ying captures will be executed immediately; if kelly wins, he and his surviving pieces will be freed. a russian military officer, major barzov, and pi ying's female companion are present to watch the game. pi ying takes a sadistic pleasure in pointless exchanges of pieces meant to wear down kelly, who begins to doubt himself over every move he makes. eventually, he realizes that his only chance to win involves sacrificing one of his knights, played by his sons. pi ying captures the piece; before he can order the boy's execution, though, his companion stabs him and herself to death. barzov then takes over for pi ying, but is defeated by kelly's trap. he spares the captured son's life and offers to transport the twelve surviving group members to safety, saying that since the united states and ussr are not officially at war, he would have let them go even if kelly had lost. not wanting kelly to leave thinking he is a better chess player, barzov suggests a rematch with no lives at stake. kelly declines, but says he will play at a later time if barzov insists on it. the life pursuit is the seventh studio album by scottish indie pop band belle & sebastian. it was released in europe on 6 february 2006 by rough trade records and in north america on 7 february 2006 by matador records. the models on the album cover are alex klobouk, natasha noramly, and marisa privitera. the album earned the band its most successful chart performance yet, reaching #8 in the uk album chart and #65 on the "billboard" 200 in the united states, selling 20,485 units in the first week.

"aston" is a common toponym derived from the old english for "east town". it evolved via "eston" and "extona" in the 11th century and "eston" in the 13th century before becoming "aston" before the beginning of the 14th century. "tirrold" began as "torald", "thorold" and "thurroll" in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the name was run together as "austenthorold" in the 16th century. a nicholas son of torold held the manor in 1166. there may have been a church on the site of the church of england parish church of saint michael since the saxon period, as the north aisle has a square-headed doorway that may date from this period. the doorway is clearly not in its original position, as it links the 19th century north aisle with the vestry. the church is a grade ii* listed building. the norman south doorway is 11th century. the nave and chancel were also norman, built in the 12th century, but the chancel was rebuilt in the early english gothic style in the first half of the 13th century. the priest's doorway and lancet windows survive from this time. the south transept is also from the first half of the 13th century but was remodeled in the first half of the 14th century. the decorated gothic east window of the chancel is also 14th century. page and ditchfield thought that the bell tower was from the first half of the 13th century. however, it is perpendicular gothic which suggests it is no earlier than the middle of the 14th century. st michael's used to have a rood loft. it was removed, presumably during the english reformation, and the stairs are now blocked. the upper and lower doorways to the stairs are late perpendicular gothic. in 1863 the church was restored and the gothic revival north aisle was added. the aisle has three bays designed in a 14th-century style. the organ loft was added in 1910 but includes a 15th-century perpendicular gothic window that may have come from the north wall of the nave when the north aisle was built. the tower has a ring of six bells. the third bell was cast in about 1599, probably at salisbury in wiltshire. joseph carter of reading, berkshire cast the second bell in 1603. henry i knight of reading cast the fourth bell in 1617 and ellis i knight cast the fifth bell in 1639. lester and pack of the whitechapel bell foundry cast the tenor bell in about 1769. mears and stainbank, also of the whitechapel bell foundry, cast the treble bell in 1937. there is also a sanctus bell, cast by an unidentified foundry in about 1499. st michael's is now part of the benefice of the churn. a presbyterian congregation was established in the area shortly after the act of uniformity 1662, from which date two local dissenting clergymen, thomas cheesman, formerly vicar of east garston, and richard comyns, formerly vicar of cholsey, preached to congregations meeting in barns and in the open air. a society of dissenters had been founded at aston tirrold by 1670. aston tirrold presbyterian chapel is a georgian building of 1728. it is built of blue and red brick, has two arched windows and a hipped roof. from 1841 until 1845 its minister was thomas keyworth, author of "principia hebraica". it is now aston tirrold united reformed church the former public house in the village, the chequers inn, is now the sweet olive gastropub. the musician steve winwood and the other members of his rock band traffic (jim capaldi, dave mason, and chris wood) lived at a country cottage near aston tirrold in the late 1960s and wrote much of the "mr. fantasy" album there. other visitors included stephen stills and pete townshend. subsequently the guitarist eric clapton and drummer ginger baker, previously of cream, visited, which led to the formation of the short-lived rock band blind faith. steve winwood left the cottage in 1969, but returned for a bbc four documentary screened in june 2010 and june 2013. in 2003 the tennis player tim henman bought a property valued at £2 million at the edge of the village. shellow bowells (or occasionally misspelt as shellow bowels) is a village and former civil parish in the epping forest district of essex, england. it is situated to the west of chelmsford, between the villages of willingale on its westerly border and roxwell on its east. in 1931 the civil parish had a population of 95. since 1946 the village has been part of the civil parish of willingale. the village name is believed to be derived from "shellow", meaning a bend in the river, and the "beaulieu" family. the village church, dedicated to st peter and st paul, is no longer in use as such, having become a private dwelling. shellow bowells is mentioned by bill bryson in "notes from a small island" and paul theroux's "the kingdom by the sea". it is referred to as shallow bowells in part five of "random harvest" by james hilton. lot 2 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada created during the 1764–1766 survey of samuel holland. it is part of north parish. incorporated municipalities: civic address communities: the township went through various owners under feudalism when prince edward island was a british colony prior to canadian confederation: aston upthorpe is a village and civil parish about southeast of didcot in south oxfordshire. it was part of berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to oxfordshire. the 2011 census recorded the parish's population as 179. half of the high blewburton hill is in the parish. the hill is the site of an iron age hill fort that may have been occupied from the 4th century bc to the 1st century bc. the church of england parish church of all saints may date from the second half of the 11th century. however, the only surviving norman features are one small window in the north wall of the nave and the blocked-up remains of a south doorway. the nave roof may be 14th century and its west wall and perpendicular gothic window may be 15th century. the wooden north porch is of uncertain date, possibly the first half of the 17th century. in 1859–60 under the direction of the gothic revival architect p.c. hardwick, the nave was restored and the chancel was restored. the bellcote is also wooden and has two bells, and may have been added by hardwick. all saints is now part of the benefice of the churn. lot 3 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada created during the 1764–1766 survey of samuel holland. it is part of north parish. incorporated municipalities: civic address communities: the township went through various owners under feudalism when prince edward island was a british colony prior to canadian confederation: the mountain view cemetery is a rural cemetery in oakland, alameda county, california. it was established in 1863 by a group of east bay pioneers under the california rural cemetery act of 1859. the association they formed still operates the cemetery today. mountain view was designed by frederick law olmsted, the landscape architect who also designed new york city's central park and much of uc berkeley and stanford university. many of california's important historical figures, drawn by olmsted's reputation, are buried here, and there are many grandiose crypts in tribute to the wealthy that one section is known as "millionaires' row." because of this, and its beautiful setting, the cemetery is a tourist draw and docents lead semi-monthly tours. olmsted's intent was to create a space that would express a harmony between humankind and the natural setting. in the view of 19th century english and american romantics, park-like cemeteries, such as mountain view, represented the peace of nature, to which humanity's soul returns. olmsted, drawing upon the concepts of american transcendentalism, integrated parisian grand monuments and broad avenues. adjoining mountain view cemetery is saint mary cemetery and the chapel of the chimes mausoleum and columbarium. there are many notable people interred in mountain view, many are local figures in california history, but others have achieved wider fame. mountain view cemetery is featured prominently in the 2018 film "blindspotting". daveed diggs's character is shown going there for morning runs, and an important scene happens in the cemetery where the character imagines black victims of police brutality standing over the graves. aston rowant (anciently "aston rohant") is a village, civil parish and former manor about south of thame in south oxfordshire, england. the parish includes the villages of aston rowant and kingston blount, and adjoins buckinghamshire to the southeast. the 2011 census recorded the parish's population as 793. the lower icknield way passes through the parish southeast of the village. toward the end of the 17th century a large roman vessel, containing five smaller ones, was found at kingston blount. in 1971 a hoard of late seventh- and early eighth-century silver coins called sceattas was found on the chiltern escarpment, near where the a40 road crosses the icknield way. in 1972 the hoard was reported to total 175 coins, by 1994 the total was 350, and either case it was then the largest single find of sceattas in britain. a coroner's court determined that the coins are treasure trove, and the british museum then acquired the hoard. the hoard is believed to have been hidden in either ad 710 or 710–15. only about a quarter of the coins were from anglo-saxon mints in britain. the remainder are from mainland europe, mostly from merovingian mints around the mouth of the rhine. the owner may therefore have been a frisian merchant travelling along the icknield way. in 1055 the diocese of winchester held the manor of aston. bishop stigand of winchester had promised to grant aston to the benedictine abingdon abbey but failed to do so. just before the norman conquest of england a saxon called wulfstan held the manor. the domesday book records that in 1086 aston belonged to miles crispin, son-in-law of robert d'oyly. crispin died in 1107 and his widow maud was married to brien fitzcount. fitzcount and maud supported the empress matilda during the anarchy, and when king stephen defeated matilda both fitzcount and maud entered religious houses, the latter to wallingford priory to whom the grant of the church (glebe and advowson) was made, subsequently appointing its vicar until the dissolution of the monasteries. stephen granted their estates to henry, duke of normandy, thus making aston part of the honour of wallingford. aston later became part of the honour of ewelme. it later was the seat of the de rohant family from which the manor gained the name "aston rohant", today corrupted to "aston rowant". the heir of de rohant was the champernowne family, lords of the manor of modbury in devon. the oldest parts of the church of england parish church of saint peter and saint paul are the north and south walls of the nave, which are norman and from around 1100. the chancel was rebuilt late in the 13th century in the decorated gothic style. the decorated gothic bell tower and north and south aisles were added in the 14th century. in the 15th century natural light in the church was increased by the addition of a window in the north wall and a clerestory above the nave, both of which are perpendicular gothic. the church tower had a spire until 1811, when some of the stonework of the tower parapet fell off and the spire was removed during the tower repairs. in 1831 the perpendicular gothic roof of the nave was replaced with a new flat one. the chancel was renovated in 1850 and its present east window was inserted in 1856. in 1874 the north aisle was extended westwards by one bay to provide a chamber in which an organ was installed. the architect e.g. bruton restored the building in 1884. the tower has a ring of six bells. the oldest is the fourth bell, which roger landen of wokingham, berkshire cast in about 1450. ellis i knight of reading cast the second, third and tenor bells in 1625. john warner and sons of cripplegate, london cast the fifth bell in 1873 and the whitechapel bell foundry cast the present treble bell in 1975, completing the current ring of six. aston rowant was a large strip parish, more than double its current size, extending about from the southern edge of thame park in the northwest to beacon's bottom high in the chilterns to the southeast. the 1841 census recorded a parish population greater than today, at 884 people. however the parish included stokenchurch until 1844. the village school was founded in or before 1833 as a national school for girls, and in 1844 its present premises were built and it became a mixed school. in 1931 it was reorganised as a junior school and in 1951 it became a church of england school. the single-track watlington and princes risborough railway was built in 1872 and opened aston rowant railway station about from the village. the great western railway operated the line until nationalisation in 1948. british railways withdrew passenger services in 1957 and closed aston rowant goods yard in 1961. the track has since been dismantled. the railway station appears in four feature films: excerpts of these films can be found at the watlington branch line youtube playlist. aston rowant cricket club plays in the home counties and cherwell leagues. its ground covers a quarter of the gap between aston rowant and kingston blount (known as kingston, locally) and serves both villages' cricketers. kingston can be reached by direct path or road and has another sports ground next to its allotments. aston rowant national nature reserve, on the chiltern escarpment, is partly in the parish. the ausar auset society is a pan-african religious organization founded in 1973 by ra un nefer amen. it is based in brooklyn, new york, with chapters in several major cities in the united states as well as international chapters in london, england, toronto, canada, and bermuda. the organization provides afrocentric-based spiritual training to the african american community in particular and to the african diaspora in general. each ausar auset society branch or study group replicates the society's structure established by ra un nefer amen in new york and falls under the leadership of either a paramount king, paramount queen mother, or chief(tess) who has his/her own hierarchy of officials and autonomy over their respective region. central to the ausarian religious system are the 11 divine laws. an important theme of this book is that the essence of these 11 laws must be programmed into the spirit of the individual through specific meditation techniques. impressing these laws upon the spirit will ensure that an individual's identity is with his or her true self when he or she is confronted with a challenging situation rather than with the false self-image that gives control over to the emotions. a proper understanding for the cultivation of the 11 laws consists of the following: another important concept that is integral to the teachings of ausar auset society is that man's entire being is a composite made up of the self and the not-self, as both are required in order to exist in the physical world. an individual's true identity, however, is the self which consists of consciousness and will (not-self consists of energy and matter) as there is no energy or matter in man's true self. since spirit is considered not-self, man's true self cannot be spirit. also, every thought, emotion and sensation belongs to the not-self and generally represents a manifestation of the animal spirit in man. the animal spirit, along with the mental spirit and the divine spirit, represents a triune view of man's being. the divine spirit, which is pre-programmed with divine law, corresponds to man's true self while both the mental spirit (man's intellect and reasoning ability) and the animal spirit correspond to the not-self. therefore, failure to control one's emotions, for example, represents a submission to the animal part of being as well as a waste of one's life force. greenmeadow is a suburb of cwmbran in the county borough of torfaen, within the historic county boundaries of monmouthshire, southern wales, united kingdom. not to be confused with green meadow golf club, which is on the other side of cwmbran in croesyceiliog. at the 2001 census: the incredulity of saint thomas is a painting of the subject of the same name by the italian baroque master caravaggio, c. 1601–1602. it is housed in the sanssouci picture gallery, now a museum, in potsdam, germany. it shows the episode that gave rise to the term "doubting thomas" which, formally known as the incredulity of thomas, had been frequently represented in christian art since at least the 5th century, and used to make a variety of theological points. according to st john's gospel, thomas the apostle missed one of jesus's appearances to the apostles after his resurrection, and said "unless i see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, i will not believe it." a week later jesus appeared and told thomas to touch him and stop doubting. then jesus said, "because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." in the painting, thomas's face shows surprise as jesus holds his hand and guides it into the wound. the absence of a halo emphasizes the corporeality of the risen christ. the work is in chiaroscuro. this picture is probably related to "saint matthew and the angel" (1602) and the "sacrifice of isaac" (1603), all having a model in common. it belonged to vincenzo giustiniani before entering the prussian royal collection, surviving the second world war intact. a second version of "the incredulity of saint thomas" has been re-discovered in trieste, italy in a private collection. it is published in the maurizio marini corpus catalogico "caravaggio - pictor praestantissimus" newton & compton - 2005 in the position q50. the painting is declared "d'interesse artistico e storico" by the "ministero per i beni e le attività culturali sopraintendenza regionale del fiuli - venezia giulia". its authenticity has been attested by several experts including maurizio marini and denis mahon and confirmed by a court in trieste. james glennon (born 7 july

needs will be addressed by the healthcare system or skilled nursing facility. health assessment is the evaluation of the health status by performing a physical exam after taking a health history. it is done to detect diseases early in people that may look and feel well. evidence does not support routine health assessments in otherwise healthy people. health assessment is the evaluation of the health status of an individual along the health continuum. the purpose of the assessment is to establish where on the health continuum the individual is because this guides how to approach and treat the individual. the health care approaches range from preventive, to treatment, to palliative care in relation to the individual's status on the health continuum. it is not the treatment or treatment plan. the plan related to findings is a care plan which is preceded by the specialty such as medical, physical therapy, nursing, etc. "health assessment" has been separated by authors from physical assessment to include the focus on health occurring on a continuum as a fundamental teaching. in the healthcare industry it is understood health occurs on a continuum, so the term used is "assessment" but may be preference by the speciality's focus such as nursing, physical therapy, etc. in healthcare, the assessment's focus is biopsychosocial but the intensity of focus may vary by the type of healthcare practitioner. for example, in the emergency room the focus is chief complaint and how to help that person related to the perceived problem. if the problem is a heart attack then the intensity of focus is on the biological/physical problem initially. tro breizh (breton for "tour of brittany") is a catholic pilgrimage that links the towns of the seven founding saints of brittany. these seven saints were celtic monks from britain from around the 5th or 6th century who brought christianity to armorica and founded its first bishoprics. the tour originally was a month-long walking tour, but when relaunched in 1994 by les chemins du tro breizh ("the paths of the tro breizh" in french), it was decided to limit the tour to one week-long stage every year, still following the original path: an old breton legend says that those who do not complete the "tro breizh" in their lifetime will be sentenced to complete it in their afterlife, walking the length of the tour from within their coffin every seven years. the first writings mentioning the existence of these tours dates from the 13th century in 2002, after successfully completing the seven-year tour, the pilgrimage moved on to wales, whence many of the bishops came. lot 4 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada created during the 1764–1766 survey of samuel holland. it is part of egmont

peak of activity during the 16th century, a time of cultural exchange with european powers and extensive trade with the asian mainland. after over two centuries of relative seclusion under the tokugawa shogunate, japan's naval technologies were seen to be no match for western navies when the country was forced by american intervention in 1854 to abandon its maritime restrictions. this and other events led to the meiji restoration, a period of frantic modernization and industrialization accompanied by the re-ascendence of the emperor, making the imperial japanese navy the third largest navy in the world by 1920, and arguably the most modern at the brink of world war ii. the imperial japanese navy's history of successes, sometimes against much more powerful foes as in the 1894–1895 sino-japanese war and the 1904–1905 russo-japanese war, ended with the navy's almost complete annihilation in 1945 against the united states navy, and official dissolution at the end of the conflict. japan's current navy falls under the umbrella of the japan self-defense forces (jsdf) as the japan maritime self-defense force (jmsdf). it is still one of the top navies in the world in terms of budget, although it is denied any offensive role by the nation's constitution and public opinion. japan seems to have been connected to the asian landmass during the last ice age until around 20,000 bce, both because of glaciation of sea water and the concomitant lowering of sea level by about 80 to 100 meters. this allowed for the transmission of fauna and flora, including the establishment of the jōmon culture. after that period however, japan became an isolated island territory, depending entirely on sporadic naval activity for its interactions with the mainland. the shortest seapath to the mainland (besides the inhospitable northern path from hokkaidō to sakhalin) then involved two stretches of open water about 50 kilometers wide, between the korean peninsula and the island of tsushima, and then from tsushima to the major island of kyūshū. various influences have also been suggested from the direction of the pacific ocean, as various cultural and even genetic traits seem to point to partial pacific origins, possibly in relation with the austronesian expansion. ambassadorial visits to japan by the later northern chinese dynasties wei and jin ("encounters of the eastern barbarians", wei chronicles) recorded that some japanese people claimed to be descendants of taibo of wu, refugees after the fall of the wu state in the 5th century bce. history books do have records of wu taibo sending 4000 males and 4000 females to japan. the first major naval contacts occurred in the yayoi period in the 3rd century bce, when rice-farming and metallurgy were introduced, from the continent. the 14 ad incursion of silla (新羅, "shiragi" in japanese), one of the three kingdoms of korea, is the earliest japanese military action recorded in "samguk sagi". according to that record, wa (the proto-japanese nation) sent one hundred ships and led an incursion on the coastal area of silla before being driven off. during the yamato period, japan had intense naval interaction with the asian continent, largely centered around diplomacy and trade with china, the korean kingdoms, and other mainland states, since at latest the beginning of the kofun period in the 3rd century. according to the "kojiki" and "nihon shoki", empress jingū is claimed to have invaded korea in the 3rd century, and to have returned victorious after three years. whether japan actually ruled a part of korea in ancient times is debated. other than the expedition of empress jingū, battle of hakusukinoe (白村江), one of the earliest historical events in japan's naval history took place in 663. japan sent 32,000 troops and possibly as many as 1,000 ships to korea to support the declining baekje kingdom (百済国) against silla and tang-dynasty china. they were defeated by the t'ang-silla combined force. naval battles of a very large scale, fought between japanese clans and involving more than 1000 warships, are recorded from the 12th century. the decisive battle of the genpei war, and one of the most famous and important naval battles in pre-modern japanese history, was the 1185 battle of dan-no-ura, which was fought between the fleets of the minamoto and taira clans. these battles consisted first of long-range archery exchanges, then giving way to hand-to-hand combat with swords and daggers. ships were used largely as floating platforms for what were largely land-based melee tactics. the first major references to japanese naval actions against other asian powers occur in the accounts of the mongol invasions of japan by kublai khan in 1281. japan had no navy which could seriously challenge the mongol navy, so most of the action took place on japanese land. groups of samurai, transported on small coastal boats, are recorded to have boarded, taken over and burned several ships of the mongol navy. during the following centuries, "wakō" pirates actively plundered the coast of the chinese empire. though the term "wakō" translates directly to "japanese pirates", japanese were far from the only sailors to harass shipping and ports in china and other parts of asia in this period, and the term thus more accurately includes non-japanese pirates as well. the first raid by "wakō" on record occurred in the summer of 1223, on the south coast of goryeo. at the peak of "wakō" activity around the end of the 14th century, fleets of 300 to 500 ships, transporting several hundred horsemen and several thousand soldiers, would raid the coast of china. for the next half-century, sailing principally from iki island and tsushima, they engulfed coastal regions of the southern half of goryeo. between 1376 and 1385, no fewer than 174 instances of pirate raids were recorded in korea. however, when joseon dynasty was founded in korea, "wakō" took a massive hit in one of their main homeland of tsushima during the ōei invasion. the peak of "wakō" activity was during the 1550s, when tens of thousands of pirates raided the chinese coast in what is called the jiajing "wakō" raids, but the "wakō" at this time were mostly chinese. "wakō" piracy ended for the most part in the 1580s with its interdiction by toyotomi hideyoshi. official trading missions, such as the tenryūji-bune, were also sent to china around 1341. various "daimyō" clans undertook major naval building efforts in the 16th century, during the sengoku period, when feudal rulers vying for supremacy built vast coastal navies of several hundred ships. the largest of these ships were called "atakebune". around that time, japan seems to have developed one of the first ironclad warships in history, when oda nobunaga, a japanese "daimyō", had six iron-covered "ō-atakebune" ("great atakebune") made in 1576 . these ships were called , literally "iron armored ships", and were armed with multiple cannons and large caliber rifles to defeat the large, but all wooden, vessels of the enemy. with these ships, nobunaga defeated the mōri clan navy at the mouth of the kizu river, near osaka in 1578, and began a successful naval blockade. the "ō-atakebune" are regarded as floating fortresses rather than true warships, however, and were only used in coastal actions. the first europeans reached japan in 1543 on chinese junks, and portuguese ships started to arrive in japan soon after. at that time, there was already trade exchanges between portugal and goa (since around 1515), consisting in 3 to 4 carracks leaving lisbon with silver to purchase cotton and spices in india. out of these, only one carrack went on to china in order to purchase silk, also in exchange for portuguese silver. accordingly, the cargo of the first portuguese ships (usually about 4 smaller-sized ships every year) arriving in japan almost entirely consisted of chinese goods (silk, porcelain). the japanese were very much looking forward to acquiring such goods, but had been prohibited from any contacts with by the emperor of china, as a punishment for "wakō" pirate raids. the portuguese (who were called "nanban", lit. southern barbarians) therefore found the opportunity to act as intermediaries in asian trade. from the time of the acquisition of macau in 1557, and their formal recognition as trade partners by the chinese, the portuguese started to regulate trade to japan, by selling to the highest bidder the annual "captaincy" ("ito wappu") to japan, in effect conferring exclusive trading rights for a single carrack bound for japan every year. the carracks were very large ships, usually between 1000 and 1500 tons, about double or triple the size of a large galleon or junk. that trade continued with few interruptions until 1638, when it was prohibited on the grounds that the priests and missionaries associated with the portuguese traders were perceived as posing a threat to the shogunate's power and the nation's stability. portuguese trade was progressively more and more challenged by chinese smugglers, japanese red seal ships from around 1592 (about ten ships every year), spanish ships from manila from around 1600 (about one ship a year), the dutch from 1609, and the english from 1613 (about one ship per year). some japanese are known to have travelled abroad on foreign ships as well, such as christopher and cosmas who crossed the pacific on a spanish galleon as early as 1587, and then sailed to europe with thomas cavendish. the dutch, who, rather than "nanban" were called , lit. "red hair" by the japanese, first arrived in japan in 1600, on board the "liefde". their pilot was william adams, the first englishman to reach japan. in 1605, two of the "liefde"'s crew were sent to pattani by tokugawa ieyasu, to invite dutch trade to japan. the head of the pattani dutch trading post, victor sprinckel, refused on the grounds that he was too busy dealing with portuguese opposition in southeast asia. in 1609, however, the dutchman jacques specx arrived with two ships in hirado, and through adams obtained trading privileges from ieyasu. the dutch also engaged in piracy and naval combat to weaken portuguese and spanish shipping in the pacific, and ultimately became the only westerners to be allowed access to japan. for two centuries beginning in 1638, they were restricted to the island of dejima in nagasaki harbor. in 1592 and again in 1598, toyotomi hideyoshi organized invasions of korea using some 9,200 ships. from the beginning of the war in 1592, the supreme commander of hideyoshi's fleet was kuki yoshitaka, whose flagship was the 33 meter-long "nihonmaru". subordinate commanders included wakisaka yasuharu and katō yoshiaki. after their experience in the ōei invasion and other operations against japanese pirates, the chinese and korean navies were more skilled than the japanese. they relied throughout upon large numbers of smaller ships whose crews would attempt to board the enemy. boarding was the main tactic of almost all navies until the modern era, and japanese samurai excelled in close combat. the japanese commonly used many light, swift, boarding ships called "kobaya" in an array that resembled a rapid school of fish following the leading boat. this tactic's advantage was that once they succeeded in boarding one ship, they could hop aboard other enemy ships in the vicinity, in a wildfire fashion. japanese ships at the time were built with wooden planks and steel nails, which rusted in seawater after some time in service. the ships were built in a curved pentagonal shape with light wood for maximum speeds for their boarding tactics, but it undermined their capability to quickly change direction. also, they were somewhat susceptible to capsizing in choppy seas and seastorms. the hulls of japanese ships were not strong enough to support the weight and recoil of cannons. rarely did japanese ships have cannons, and those that did usually hung them from overhead beams with ropes and cloth. instead, the japanese relied heavily on their muskets and blades. the korean navy attacked a japanese transportation fleet effectively and caused extensive damage. won gyun and yi sun-sin at the battle of okpo has destroyed the japanese convoy, and their failure enabled korean resistance in jeolla province, in the south-east of korea, to continue. wakisaka yasuharu was ordered to dispatch a 1,200 man navy during the keicho invasion and annihilated the invading korean navy led by won kyun during a counterattack in july 1597 (battle of chilcheollyang). korean admiral yi eokgi and won gyun of korea were killed in this combat. hansan island was occupied by japan, consolidating the japanese hold on the west coast of korea. to prevent japan from invading china by way of the korean peninsula west coast, china sent naval forces. in august 1597, the japanese navy was ordered to occupy the jeolla. after the joseon navy gave a damage japan navy in the battle of myeongnyang, withdrew north of the korean peninsula. jeolla was finally occupied by the japanese navy, and the became the captive. remnants of the korean navy led by yi sun-sin joined the ming chinese fleet under chen lin's forces and continued to attack japanese supply lines. towards the end of the war, as the remaining japanese tried to withdraw from korea, they were beset by korean and chinese forces. to rescue his comrades, shimazu yoshihiro attacked the allied fleet. at the battle of noryang, shimazu defeated chinese general chen lin. and the japanese army succeeded in escape from the korean peninsula yi sun-sin was killed in this action. japan's failure to gain control of the sea, and their resulting difficulty in resupplying troops on land, was one of the major reasons for the invasion's ultimate failure. after the death of toyotomi hideyoshi, the main proponent of the invasion, the japanese ceased attacks on korea. in 1609, shimazu tadatsune, lord of satsuma, invaded the southern islands of ryūkyū (modern okinawa) with a fleet of 13 junks and 2,500 samurai, thereby establishing suzerainty over the islands. they faced little opposition from the ryukyuans, who lacked any significant military capabilities, and who were ordered by king shō nei to surrender peacefully rather than suffer the loss of precious lives. japan built her first large ocean-going warships at the beginning of the 17th century, following contacts with the western nations during the nanban trade period. in 1604, "shōgun" tokugawa ieyasu ordered william adams and his companions to build japan's first western-style sailing ship at itō, on the east coast of the izu peninsula. an 80-ton vessel was completed and the "shōgun" ordered a larger ship, 120 tons, to be built the following year (both were slightly smaller than the "liefde", the ship in which william adams came to japan, which was 150 tons). according to adams, ieyasu "came aboard to see it, and the sight whereof gave him great content". the ship, named "san buena ventura", was lent to shipwrecked spanish sailors for their return to mexico in 1610. in 1613, the "daimyō" of sendai, in agreement with the tokugawa shogunate, built "date maru", a 500-ton galleon-type ship that transported a japanese embassy to the americas, and then continued to europe. from 1604, about 350 red seal ships, usually armed and incorporating some western technologies, were authorized by the shogunate, mainly for southeast asian trade. japanese ships and samurai helped in the defense of malacca on the side of the portuguese against the dutch admiral cornelis matelief in 1606. several armed ships of the japanese adventurer yamada nagamasa would play a military role in the wars and court politics of siam. william adams, who participated in the red seal ship trade, would comment that ""the people of this land (japan) are very stout seamen"". the tokugawa shogunate had, for some time, planned to invade the philippines in order to eradicate spanish expansionism in asia, and its support of christians within japan. in november 1637 it notified nicolas couckebacker, the head of the dutch east india company in japan, of its intentions. about 10,000 samurai were prepared for the expedition, and the dutch agreed to provide four warships and two yachts to support the japanese ships against spanish galleons. the plans were cancelled at the last minute with the advent of the christian shimabara rebellion in japan in december 1637. the dutch's cooperation on these, and other matters, would help ensure they were the only westerners allowed in japan for the next two centuries. following these events, the shogunate imposed a system of maritime restrictions (海禁, "kaikin"), which forbade contacts with foreigners outside of designated channels and areas, banned christianity, and prohibited the construction of ocean-going ships on pain of death. the size of ships was restricted by law, and design specifications limiting seaworthiness (such as the provision for a gaping hole in the aft of the hull) were implemented. sailors who happened to be stranded in foreign countries were prohibited from returning to japan on pain of death. a tiny dutch delegation in dejima, nagasaki was the only allowed contact with the west, from which the japanese were kept partly informed of western scientific and technological advances, establishing a body of knowledge known as "rangaku". extensive contacts with korea and china were maintained through the tsushima domain, the ryūkyū kingdom under satsuma's dominion, and the trading posts at nagasaki. the matsumae domain on hokkaidō managed contacts with the native ainu peoples, and with imperial russia. many isolated attempts to end japan's seclusion were made by expanding western powers during the 19th century. american, russian and french ships all attempted to engage in relationship with japan, but were rejected. these largely unsuccessful attempts continued until, on july 8, 1853, commodore matthew perry of the u.s. navy with four warships: "mississippi", "plymouth", "saratoga", and "susquehanna" steamed into the bay of edo (tokyo) and displayed the threatening power of his ships' paixhans guns. he demanded that japan open to trade with the west. these ships became known as the "kurofune", or black ships. barely one month after perry, the russian admiral yevfimy putyatin arrived in nagasaki on august 12, 1853. he made a demonstration of a steam engine on his ship the "pallada", which led to japan's first manufacture of a steam engine, created by tanaka hisashige. the following year, perry returned with seven ships and forced the "shōgun" to sign the "treaty of peace and amity", establishing formal diplomatic relations between japan and the united states, known as the convention of kanagawa (march 31, 1854). within five years japan had signed similar treaties with other western countries. the harris treaty was signed with the united states on july 29, 1858. these treaties were widely regarded by japanese intellectuals as unequal, having been forced on japan through gunboat diplomacy, and as a sign of the west's desire to incorporate japan into the imperialism that had been taking hold of the continent. among other measures, they gave the western nations unequivocal control of tariffs on imports and the right of extraterritoriality to all their visiting nationals. they would remain a sticking point in japan's relations with the west up to the start of the 20th century. the study of western shipbuilding techniques resumed in the 1840s. this process intensified along with the increased activity of western shipping along the coasts of japan, due to the china trade and the development of whaling. from 1852, the government of the "shōgun" (the late tokugawa shogunate or "bakumatsu") was warned by the netherlands of the plans of commodore perry. three months after perry's first visit in 1853, the bakufu cancelled the law prohibiting the construction of large ships (大船建造禁止令), and started organizing the construction of a fleet of western-style sail warships, such as the "hōō maru", the "shōhei maru" or the "asahi maru", usually asking each fief to build their own modern ships. these ships were built using dutch sailing manuals, and the know-how of a few returnees from the west, such as nakahama manjirō. also with the help of nakahama manjirō, the satsuma fief built japan's first steam ship, the "unkoumaru" (雲行丸) in 1855. the bakufu also established defensive coastal fortifications, such as at odaiba. as soon as japan agreed to open up to foreign influence, the tokugawa "shōgun" government initiated an active policy of assimilation of western naval technologies. in 1855, with dutch assistance, the shogunate acquired its first steam warship, the "kankō maru", which was used for training, and established the nagasaki naval training center. in 1857, it acquired its first screw-driven steam warship, the "kanrin maru". in 1860, the "kanrin maru" was sailed to the united states by a group of japanese, with the assistance of a single us navy officer john m. brooke, to deliver the first japanese embassy to the united states. naval students were sent abroad to study western naval techniques. the bakufu had initially planned on ordering ships and sending students to the united states, but the american civil war led to a cancellation of plans. instead, in 1862 the bakufu placed its warship orders with the netherlands and decided to send 15 trainees there. the students, led by uchida tsunejirō (内田恒次郎), left nagasaki on september 11, 1862, and arrived in rotterdam on april 18, 1863, for a stay of 3 years. they included such figures as the future admiral enomoto takeaki, sawa tarosaemon (沢太郎左衛門), akamatsu noriyoshi (赤松則良), taguchi shunpei (田口俊平), tsuda shinichiro (津田真一郎) and the philosopher nishi amane. this started a tradition of foreign-educated future leaders such admirals tōgō and, later, yamamoto. in 1863, japan completed her first domestically-built steam warship, the "chiyodagata", a 140-ton gunboat commissioned into the tokugawa navy (japan's first steamship was the unkoumaru -雲行丸- built by the fief of satsuma in 1855). the ship was manufactured by the future industrial giant, ishikawajima, thus initiating japan's efforts to acquire and fully develop shipbuilding capabilities. following the humiliations at the hands of foreign navies in the bombardment of kagoshima in 1863, and the battle of shimonoseki in 1864, the shogunate stepped up efforts to modernize, relying more and more on french and british assistance. in 1865, the french naval engineer léonce verny was hired to build japan's first modern naval arsenals, at yokosuka and nagasaki. more ships were imported, such as the "jho sho maru", the "ho sho maru" and the "kagoshima", all commissioned by thomas blake glover and built in aberdeen. by the end of the tokugawa shogunate in 1867, the japanese navy already possessed eight western-style steam warships around the flagship "kaiyō maru" which were used against pro-imperial forces during the boshin war, under the command of admiral enomoto. the conflict culminated with the naval battle of hakodate in 1869, japan's first large-scale modern naval battle. in 1869, japan acquired its first ocean-going ironclad warship, the "kōtetsu", ordered by the bakufu but received by the new imperial government, barely ten years after such ships were first introduced in the west with the launch of the french "la gloire". the imperial japanese navy (ijn) () was the navy of japan between 1868 and until 1945, when it was dissolved following japan's defeat and surrender in world war ii. from 1868, the restored meiji emperor continued with reforms to industrialize and militarize japan in order to prevent it from being overwhelmed by the united states and european powers. the imperial japanese navy was formally established in 1869. the new government drafted a very ambitious plan to create a navy with 200 ships, organized into 10 fleets, but the plan was abandoned within a year due to lack of resources. internally, domestic rebellions, and especially the satsuma rebellion (1877) forced the government to focus on land warfare. naval policy, expressed by the slogan "shusei kokubō" (, "static defense"), focused on coastal defenses, a standing army, and a coastal navy, leading to a military organization under the "rikushu kaiju" (jp:陸主海従, army first, navy second) principle. during the 1870s and 1880s, the japanese navy remained an essentially coastal defense force, although the meiji government continued to modernize it. in 1870 an imperial decree determined that the british navy should be the model for development, and the second british naval mission to japan, the douglas mission (1873–79) led by archibald lucius douglas laid the foundations of naval officer training and education. (see ian gow, 'the douglas mission (1873–79) and meiji naval education' in j. e. hoare ed., "britain & japan: biographical portraits volume iii", japan library 1999.) tōgō heihachirō was trained by the british navy. during the 1880s, france took the lead in influence, due to its "jeune école" doctrine favoring small, fast warships, especially cruisers and torpedo boats, against bigger units. the meiji government issued its first naval expansion bill in 1882, requiring the construction of 48 warships, of which 22 were to be torpedo boats. the naval successes of the french navy against china in the sino-french war of 1883–85 seemed to validate the potential of torpedo boats, an approach which was also attractive to the limited resources of japan. in 1885, the new navy slogan became "kaikoku nippon" (, "maritime japan"). in 1886, the leading french navy engineer émile bertin was hired for four years to reinforce the japanese navy, and to direct the construction of the arsenals of kure and sasebo. he developed the "sankeikan" class of three cruisers, which are named after three views of japan, featuring a single but powerful main gun, the 12.6 inch canet gun. this period also allowed japan to adopt new technologies such as torpedoes, torpedo-boats and mines, which were actively promoted by the french navy (howe, p281). japan acquired its first torpedoes in 1884, and established a "torpedo training center" at yokosuka in 1886. japan continued the modernization of its navy, especially as china was also building a powerful modern fleet with foreign, especially german, assistance, and the pressure was building between the two countries to take control of korea. the sino-japanese war was officially declared on august 1, 1894, though some naval fighting had already taken place. the japanese navy devastated qing's northern fleet off the mouth of the yalu river at the battle of yalu river on september 17, 1894, in which the chinese fleet lost 8 out of 12 warships. although japan turned out victorious, the two large german-made battleships of the chinese navy remained almost impervious to japanese guns, highlighting the need for bigger capital ships in the japanese navy (the "ting yuan" was finally sunk by torpedoes, and the "chen-yuan" was captured with little damage). the next step of the imperial japanese navy's expansion would thus involve a combination of heavily armed large warships, with smaller and innovative offensive units permitting aggressive tactics. the imperial japanese navy further intervened in china in 1900, by participating together with western powers to the suppression of the chinese boxer rebellion. the navy supplied the largest number of warships (18, out of a total of 50 warships), and delivered the largest contingent of army and navy troops among the intervening nations (20,840 soldiers, out of total of 54,000). following the first sino-japanese war, and the humiliation of the forced return of the liaotung peninsula to china under russian pressure (the "triple intervention"), japan began to build up its military strength in preparation for further confrontations. japan promulgated a ten-year naval build-up program, under the slogan "perseverance and determination" (jp:臥薪嘗胆, gashinshoutan), in which it commissioned 109 warships, for a total of 200,000 tons, and increased its navy personnel from 15,100 to 40,800. these dispositions culminated with the russo-japanese war (1904–1905). the japanese battleship mikasa was the flagship of admiral tōgō heihachirō. at the battle of tsushima, the mikasa led the combined japanese fleet into what has been called "the most decisive naval battle in history". the russian fleet was almost completely annihilated: out of 38 russian ships, 21 were sunk, 7 captured, 6 disarmed, 4,545 russian servicemen died and 6,106 were taken prisoner. on the other hand, the japanese only lost 117 men and 3 torpedo boats. in the years before world war ii the ijn began to structure itself specifically to fight the united states. a long stretch of militaristic expansion and the start of the second sino-japanese war in 1937 had alienated the united states, and the country was seen as a rival of japan. to achieve japan’s expansionist policies, the imperial japanese navy also had to fight off the largest navies in the world (the 1922 washington naval treaty allotted a 5/5/3 ratio for the navies of great britain, the united states and japan). she was therefore numerically inferior and her industrial base for expansion was limited (in particular compared to the united states). her battle tactics therefore tended to rely on technical superiority (fewer, but faster, more powerful ships), and aggressive tactics (daring and speedy attacks overwhelming the enemy, a recipe for success in her previous conflicts). the naval treaties also provided an unintentional boost to japan because the numerical restrictions on battleships prompted them to build more aircraft carriers to try to compensate for the united states' larger battleship fleet. the imperial japanese navy was administered by the ministry of the navy of japan and controlled by the chief of the imperial japanese navy general staff at imperial general headquarters. in order to combat the numerically superior american navy, the ijn devoted large amounts of resources to creating a force superior in quality to any navy at the time. consequently, at the beginning of world war ii, japan probably had the most sophisticated navy in the world. betting on the speedy success of aggressive tactics, japan did not invest significantly on defensive organization such as protecting her long shipping lines against enemy submarines, which she never managed to do, particularly under-investing in anti-submarine escort ships and escort aircraft carriers. the japanese navy enjoyed spectacular success during the first part of the hostilities, but american forces ultimately managed to gain the upper hand through decrypting the japanese naval codes, exploiting the aforementioned japanese neglect of fleet defense, technological upgrades to its air and naval forces, superior personnel management such as routinely reassigning accomplished combat pilots to provide experienced training of new recruits, and a vastly stronger industrial output. japan's reluctance to use their submarine fleet for commerce raiding and failure to secure their communications also added to their defeat. during the last phase of the war the imperial japanese navy resorted to a series of desperate measures, including kamikaze (suicide) actions, which ultimately not only proved futile in repelling the allies, but encouraged those enemies to use their newly developed atomic bombs to defeat japan without the anticipated costly battles against so fanatical a defence. following japan's surrender to the allied forces at the conclusion of world war ii, and japan's subsequent occupation, japan's entire imperial military was dissolved in the new 1947 constitution which states, "the japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." japan's current navy falls under the umbrella of the japan self-defense forces (jsdf) as the japan maritime self-defense force (jmsdf). the maritime self-defense force (msdf) had an authorized strength in 1992 of 46,000 and maintained some 44,400 personnel and operated 155 major combatants, including thirteen submarines, sixty-four destroyers and frigates, forty-three mine warfare ships and boats, eleven patrol craft, and six amphibious ships. it also flew some 205 fixed-wing aircraft and 134 helicopters. most of these aircraft were used in antisubmarine and mine warfare operations. tarom serves the following scheduled and charter year-round and seasonal destinations as of november 2016: business association may refer to: malchin () is a

with film projections for their live appearances. the band's early persona was defined by the shadowy, uncertain stage images created by the films to such an extent he is often described as being the band's "fifth member". they released several singles for the rough trade label before recording their debut studio album, "strange boutique", produced by bob sargeant for virgin records' imprint dindisc in 1980. it peaked at no. 62 in the uk albums chart in 1980. their follow-up effort, "love zombies", was produced by alvin clark and the band later that same year. haney left the band in 1981, and was replaced by lexington crane. in 1982, the band switched labels to cherry red to release their third album, "eligible bachelors", produced by tim hart. square and crane left soon afterwards, and were replaced by keyboardist carrie booth and drummer nicholas weslowski. this line-up recorded a 1982 single, "cast a long shadow", for cherry red, before booth was in turn replaced by new lead guitarist james 'foz' foster (later of david devant & his spirit wife). in 1983, cherry red released "volume, contrast, brilliance...", a retrospective of the band's early rough trade singles, bbc and capital radio sessions, and other unreleased early sessions. in 1985, with the same line-up as on "cast a long shadow", the monochrome set recorded "the lost weekend" for warner bros. records. "the lost weekend" failed commercially, and after a few singles, the band officially broke up, though they served as jessica griffin's backing band on the first album by the would-be-goods, "the camera loves me" in 1988. in early 1990, bid, square and warren reformed the band, with the addition of keyboardist orson presence and drummer mike urban (then known as mike slocombe), who was replaced by trevor ready. the new band toured extensively, especially in japan where they had become very popular. the band released five albums for vinyl japan/cherry red during the 1990s, before going on hiatus in 1998. bid recorded a number of albums with his band, scarlet's well. the song, "he's frank", appeared on the tv series "heroes". the recording used was a cover version of the original recorded by the brighton port authority (aka. fatboy slim) featuring iggy pop. the band reunited on 8 october 2008 for a one-off performance at cherry red's 30th anniversary party at dingwalls, london. it also marked the 30th anniversary of the monochrome set. bid, warren and square were joined by jennifer denitto (drums) and sian chaffer (keyboards) of scarlet's well, and performed 13 songs. in 2010, bid, square and warren reformed the band, with the addition of drummer jennifer denitto from scarlet's well and keyboard player john paul moran. following bid's recovery from an aneurysm in late 2010, they played dates the following year in the united kingdom, france, germany, spain, greece, japan and the netherlands. the band continued to tour in the uk, europe and japan throughout 2012, playing material from their 10th studio album "platinum coils" (their first album since 1995's "trinity road") as well as selections from their extensive back catalogue. in 2011 the band were joined by helena johansson from scarlet's well on violin and mandolin, replacing john paul moran, and steve brummell (formerly of the band luxembourg) replaced jennifer denitto on drums. the band completed a short tour of the east coast of the usa in spring of 2013 and released their 11th studio album, "super plastic city" in the autumn of the same year. helena johansson left the band in the summer of 2013. in 2014, they signed to the german record label tapete and their 12th studio album, "spaces everywhere" was released in 2015. guitarist lester square left the band in late 2014, after completing recording of the album, and former member john paul moran rejoined. their thirteenth studio album, "cosmonaut", was released on the tapete label in september 2016. mike urban, who had previously been in the band in 1990 and played on the "dante's casino" album, joined the band in september 2016, replacing steve brummel on drums. in 2018, the fortieth year since the band formed, their 14th studio album, "maisieworld" and a box set, "the monochrome set 1979–1985: complete recordings", were released. in 2019 they toured the usa again, playing for the first time ever on the west coast as well as the east and released their 15th studio album, "fabula mendax" in september that year. the pearson–anson effect, discovered in 1922 by stephen oswald pearson and horatio saint george anson, is the phenomenon of an oscillating electric voltage produced by a neon bulb connected across a capacitor, when a direct current is applied through a resistor. this circuit, now called the pearson-anson oscillator, neon lamp oscillator, or sawtooth oscillator, is one of the simplest types of relaxation oscillator. it generates a sawtooth output waveform. it has been used in low frequency applications such as blinking warning lights, stroboscopes, tone generators in electronic organs and other electronic music circuits, and in time bases and deflection circuits of early cathode-ray tube oscilloscopes. since the development of microelectronics, these simple negative resistance oscillators have been superseded in many applications by more flexible semiconductor relaxation oscillators such as the 555 timer ic. a neon bulb, often used as an indicator lamp in appliances, consists of a glass bulb containing two electrodes, separated by an inert gas such as neon at low pressure. its nonlinear current-voltage characteristics "(diagram below)" allow it to function as a switching device. when a voltage is applied across the electrodes, the gas conducts almost no electric current until a threshold voltage is reached "(point b)", called the "firing" or "breakdown voltage", "v". at this voltage electrons in the gas are accelerated to a high enough speed to knock other electrons off gas atoms, which go on to knock off more electrons in a chain reaction. the gas in the bulb ionizes, starting a glow discharge, and its resistance drops to a low value. in its conducting state the current through the bulb is limited only by the external circuit. the voltage across the bulb drops to a lower voltage called the "maintaining voltage" "v". the bulb will continue to conduct current until the applied voltage drops below the "extinction voltage" "v" "(point d)", which is usually close to the maintaining voltage. below this voltage, the current provides insufficient energy to keep the gas ionized, so the bulb switches back to its high resistance, nonconductive state "(point a)". the bulb's "turn on" voltage "v" is higher than its "turn off" voltage "v". this property, called hysteresis, allows the bulb to function as an oscillator. hysteresis is due to the bulb's negative resistance, the fall in voltage with increasing current after breakdown, which is a property of all gas-discharge lamps. up until the 1960s sawtooth oscillators were also built with thyratrons. these were gas-filled triode electron tubes. these worked somewhat similarly to neon bulbs, the tube would not conduct until the cathode to anode voltage reached a breakdown voltage. the advantage of the thyratron was that the breakdown voltage could be controlled by the voltage on the grid. this allowed the frequency of the oscillation to be changed electronically. thyratron oscillators were used as time bases in oscilloscopes. in the pearson-anson oscillator circuit "(top)" a capacitor "c" is connected across the neon bulb "n" the capacitor is continuously charged by current through the resistor "r" until the bulb conducts, discharging it again, after which it charges up again. the detailed cycle is illustrated by the hysteresis loop "abcd" on the current-voltage diagram at right: the circuit thus functions as a low-frequency relaxation oscillator, the capacitor voltage oscillating between the breakdown and extinction voltages of the bulb in a sawtooth wave. the period is proportional to the time constant "rc". the neon lamp produces a brief flash of light each time it conducts, so the circuit can also be used as a "flasher" circuit. the dual function of the lamp as both light source and switching device gives the circuit a lower parts count and cost than many alternative flasher circuits. the supply voltage "v" must be greater than the bulb breakdown voltage "v" or the bulb can never conduct. most small neon lamps have breakdown voltages between 80 and 150 volts. if the supply voltage is close to the breakdown voltage, the capacitor voltage will be in the "tail" of its exponential curve by the time it reaches "v", so the frequency will depend sensitively on the breakdown threshold and supply voltage levels, causing variations in frequency. therefore, the supply voltage is usually made significantly higher than the bulb firing voltage. this also makes the charging more linear, and the sawtooth wave more triangular. the resistor r must also be within a certain range of values for the circuit to oscillate. this is illustrated by the load line ("blue") on the "iv" graph. the slope of the load line is equal to r. the possible dc operating points of the circuit are at the intersection of the load line and the neon lamp's "iv" curve ("black") in order for the circuit to be unstable and oscillate, the load line must intersect the "iv" curve in its negative resistance region, between "b" and "d", where the voltage declines with increasing current. this is defined by the shaded region on the diagram. if the load line crosses the "iv" curve where it has positive resistance, outside the shaded region, this represents a stable operating point, so the circuit will not oscillate: small neon bulbs will typically oscillate with values of "r" between 500kω and 20mω. if "c" is not small, it may be necessary to add a resistor in series with the neon bulb, to limit current through it to prevent damage when the capacitor discharges. this will increase the discharge time and decrease the frequency slightly, but its effect will be negligible at low frequencies. the period of oscillation can be calculated from the breakdown and extinction voltage thresholds of the lamp used. during the charging period, the bulb has high resistance and can be considered an open circuit, so the rest of the oscillator constitutes an rc circuit with the capacitor voltage approaching "v" exponentially, with time constant "rc". if "v"("t") is the output voltage across the capacitor solving for the time although the first period is longer than the others because the voltage starts from zero, the voltage waveforms of subsequent periods are identical to the first between "v" and "v". so the period "t" is the interval between the time when the voltage reaches "v", and the time when the voltage reaches "v" this formula is only valid for oscillation frequencies up to about 200 hz; above this various time delays cause the actual frequency to be lower than this. due to the time required to ionize and deionize the gas, neon lamps are slow switching devices, and the neon lamp oscillator is limited to a top frequency of about 20 khz. the breakdown and extinction voltages of neon lamps may vary between similar parts; manufacturers usually specify only wide ranges for these parameters. so if a precise frequency is desired the circuit must be adjusted by trial and error. the thresholds also change with temperature, so the frequency of neon lamp oscillators is not particularly stable. like other relaxation oscillators, the neon bulb oscillator has poor frequency stability, but it can be synchronized (entrained) to an external periodic voltage applied in series with the neon bulb. even if the external frequency is different from the natural frequency of the oscillator, the peaks of the applied signal can exceed the breakdown threshold of the bulb, discharging the capacitor prematurely, so that the period of the oscillator becomes locked to the applied signal. interesting behavior can result from varying the amplitude and frequency of the external voltage. for instance, the oscillator may produce an oscillating voltage whose frequency is a submultiple of the external frequency. this phenomenon is known as "submultiplication" or "demultiplication", and was first observed in 1927 by balthasar van der pol and his collaborator jan van der mark. in some cases the ratio of the external frequency to the frequency of the oscillation observed in the circuit may be a rational number, or even an irrational one (the latter case is known as the "quasiperiodic" regime). when the periodic and quasiperiodic regimes overlap, the behavior of the circuit may become aperiodic, meaning that the pattern of the oscillations never repeats. this aperiodicity correspond to the behavior of the circuit becoming "chaotic" (see chaos theory). the forced neon bulb oscillator was the first system in which chaotic behavior was observed. van der pol and van der mark wrote, concerning their experiments with demultiplication, that often an irregular noise is heard in the telephone receivers before the frequency jumps to the next lower value. however this is a subsidiary phenomenon, the main effect being the regular frequency demultiplication. any periodic oscillation would have produced a musical tone; only aperiodic, chaotic oscillations would produce an "irregular noise". this is thought to have been the first observation of chaos, although van der pol and van der mark didn't realize its significance at the time. the samar sea is a small sea within the philippine archipelago, situated between the bicol region of luzon and the eastern visayas. it is bordered by the islands of samar to the east, leyte to the south, masbate to the west, and luzon to the north. the sea is connected to the philippine sea to the north via san bernardino strait, to leyte gulf to the southeast via san juanico strait, to the visayan sea to the southwest, and to the sibuyan sea to the northwest via masbate pass and ticao pass. it contains biliran island, the islands of almagro, maripipi, sto. nino, daram, and tagapul-an. the samar sea has experienced a significant degradation of marine resources, that is even characterized as "ecocide". before 1981, there were 50 commercial fish species, but within 10 years, it was reduced to only 10 due to overfishing and destructive fishing methods (like dynamite fishing). average daily catch has reduced from 30 kg/day in the 1960s, to 8 kg/day in 1981, to 3.5 kg/day in 1991. having depleted the large predatory fish, fishermen turned to smaller species, allowing jellyfish populations to explode. deforestation of surrounding lands has led to increased silt from denuded mountains that choke coral reefs. only some 5% of reefs are considered to be in a healthy condition. another result of the increased silt are red tides, causing paralytic shellfish poisonings. the first red tide in the philippines occurred in the samar sea in 1983 and thereafter continued to occur at irregular intervals. all about the benjamins is a 2002 american buddy action comedy film directed by kevin bray, and starring ice cube and mike epps as a bounty hunter who join forces to find a group of diamond thieves, the former for glory, and the latter to retrieve a winning lottery ticket. the film was released in theaters in march 2002 to negative reviews. despite this, the film was a moderate box office hit. the film's title was taken from the popular 1997 hip-hop song performed by puff daddy "it's all about the benjamins". ice cube and mike epps also starred together in the "friday" series and the (2009) film "janky promoters". tyson bucum (ice cube), a maverick bounty hunter, is out to capture a petty drug dealer, lil j (anthony michael hall). bucum confronts lil j in his trailer home and nearly handcuffs him, but lil j's girlfriend, who wields a shotgun, recklessly shoots at bucum. bucum manages to tackle lil j's girlfriend and arrest lil j. bucum's boss martinez (anthony giaimo), however, is not pleased with bucum and pays him less than expected. after a brief conversation about the lottery with his attractive co-worker pam (valerie rae miller), bucum learns from martinez that he must capture a con man named reggie wright (mike epps), whom bucum has captured three times prior. bucum sees reggie at a convenience store but fails to catch him after a long chase through miami. meanwhile, during a photoshoot, diamond thieves julian (roger guenveur smith) and ursula (carmen chaplin) are posing as a photographer and model until a mr. barkley arrives. the duo murder the co-photographer, the makeup artist and barkley's bodyguards, much to barkley's surprise. barkley is then shot in the head after a brief dialogue with julian for murdering the witnesses. they then retrieve diamonds from the shoot. bucum tracks down reggie again and chases him until he remains unnoticed since he is hidden in a van. the thieves comes down, upon running into him instantly by accident, shoots at bucum, who shoots back in response, and escapes, unbeknownst to them that reggie is hidden. in a boatyard, the thieves finds reggie in the van and shoot at him when he escapes, leaving his wallet behind, which is picked up by juilian. at the crime scene, martinez is fed up of bucum's attempts and orders him to stay away from reggie. in reggie's apartment, reggie and his girlfriend gina (eva mendes) eventually win the lottery, only to find out that reggie lost the latter, which was in reggie's wallet. in the boatyard, julian and ursula are yelled at by their boss williamson (tommy flanagan), having told him that the diamonds they retrieved from the shoot were fake. out of frustration of not getting the diamonds, williamson responds by shooting julian in the arm, severely wounding him, which is later enclosed in an arm brace. reggie is soon captured by bucum during an attempt to retrieve his wallet and while in the car, reggie manages to convince bucum to find his wallet and find the thieves. at the boatyard, bucum and reggie realizes that the van is unclear of its location, so bucum tries to look into the connection of the photo shoot and the van, while reggie is handcuffed to his bed with gina. julian, in a psychopathic state, goes after reggie. he arrives at the apartment, and is knocked unconscious by bucum, having anticipated him coming after reggie. the duo then decides to torture julian into answers by pending a screwdriver into julian's arm brace, which can rip through his skin. julian then reveals williamson's name. bucum awaits in the boatyard of williamson's boat dealership and poses as a customer. this soon fails, so the duo decides to go to the barkley residence. at the house, they find a dead mrs. barkley, a man named roscoe who was the one who murdered mrs. barkley, and attacks bucum (only to be knocked out by reggie), eventually finding the diamonds in a fish tank. they return to bucum's apartment and discover that williamson has kidnapped gina. in response, they roll a car into williamson's boat dealership with julian and roscoe unconscious in the cab. willamson finds a tape recorder that informs him to meet reggie and bucum at a dog track with gina to exchange for the diamonds. this goes successful with pam posing as a janitor, reggie revealing the diamonds, and bucum taking position as sniper in a dog tracksman disguise to take out a sniper working for williamson until reggie flips the diamonds off of williamson's hands leading to a shootout and chase. during the chase, williamson pulls out a bazooka and opens fire, missing bucum, reggie, gina and pam but instead blowing up a nearby fish truck. he escapes, and bucum and reggie are so fed up with the plan that they decide to break up their partnership . pam convinces bucum to talk to reggie and they make up again. the duo tracks williamson to a boat dock in which gina and pam await behind them in the car. bucum gives reggie a taser since reggie accidentally dropped one of bucum's guns into the ocean. on the boat, as bucum leaves, he sees pam and gina running away, having knocked out two henchman by pushing a lifeboat in their direction. meanwhile, reggie finds his wallet and recovers the lottery ticket, but is soon caught by williamson and ursula and he even forces reggie to take his money on the boat. bucum, taking ursula as a hostage, catches up with them. williamson, in response, kills ursula by shooting her in the head and wounds reggie, leading to a fight as the boat speeds up. williamson is knocked out by the boat's speed and the boat crashes onto shore. bucum and reggie reunite until williamson, badly injured, attacks bucum. reggie tases him and bucum shoots williamson to death multiple times. later, bucum and reggie are figuring out what to do next but the coast guards are coming, and bucum is forced to handcuff reggie and hide the money. six weeks later, reggie is released from prison. he initially believes that his friends have abandoned him until bucum finally arrives, along with gina and pam. bucum, who has a new car and spending money, reveals the winning ticket. the film ends with reggie celebrating his new wealth with bucum, their women, and the two elderly friends of reggie, skiing on the boat through the ocean. upon initial release, "all about the benjamins" received generally negative reviews from critics and audiences. on rotten tomatoes, the film has a 30% approval rating based on 76 reviews, with an average score of 4.33/10. the site's consensus states that the film is "a sloppy, poorly directed action-comedy" and "is too derivative and gratuitously violent". a soundtrack containing hip hop and rhythm and blues music was released on february 19, 2002 by new line records. it peaked at #65 on the billboard 200 and #12 on the top r&b/hip-hop albums. lot 6 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada. it is part of egmont parish. lot 6 was awarded to william crowle in the 1767 land lottery. incorporated municipalities: civic address communities: the special operations peculiar modification (sopmod) kit is an accessory system for the m4a1 carbine, fn scar mk 16/17, hk416 and other weapons used by ussocom (the kit is not specific to ussocom, however). the kit allows special operations personnel to configure their weapons to individual preferences and mission requirements. the program dates back to september 1989, when the special operations special technology (sost) "modular close combat carbine project" was founded. the "material need statement" (mns) was signed on may 1992, and by september 1993, the "operational requirements document" (ord) for the program was validated. responsibility for the program was then assigned to the naval surface warfare center crane division. the sopmod kit is composed mostly of non-developmental and commercial off-the-shelf (ndi/cots) accessories packaged together to support four m4a1 carbines. the original sopmod block i kit included all of the following: only two of following were included per kit: only one of the following was included per kit: if more of the accessories are needed, it is typical for units to "cannibalize" the kits of inactive teams. the documentation for the kit does not require a rewrite if improved replacements for any of the current items can be found. as a result, this content list has changed. for instance, on many sopmod m4s today, the crane sloping cheekweld stock has been added. several potential additions include the m26 modular accessory shotgun system and the m320 grenade launcher. also, various eotech holographic sights are used on many sopmod configured m4s. the sopmod kit allows for the attachment of any picatinny compatible accessory that fits the length of the weapon. lot 7 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada. lot 7 was awarded to sir james montgomery, 1st baronet in the 1767 land lottery. it is part of egmont parish. its shores bring in lobster and sea glass. it is home to the richmond dairy bar. a primarily irish community, locals and visitors enjoy every thursday night the lot 7 céilidh where irish folk and east coast genre of music is enjoyed. incorporated municipalities: civic address communities: fieldston may refer to: lot 8 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada. it is part of halifax parish. lot 8 was awarded to arnold nisbett (m.p.) in the 1767 land lottery, passed to william kilpatrick and benjamin todd in 1775, and to todd's heirs in 1783. it is known for the west point lighthouse at cedar dunes provincial park in west point. it is also known for approximately 55 large windmills, operated by the french company suez energy, which is used to create electricity for sale in new england. incorporated municipalities: civic address communities: a preaching cross is a christian cross sometimes surmounting a pulpit, which is erected outdoors to designate a preaching place. in britain and ireland, many free-standing upright crosses – or high crosses – were erected. some of these crosses bear figurative or decorative carvings, or inscriptions in runes. there are surviving free-standing crosses in cornwall and wales, in the island of iona and in the hebrides, as well as those in ireland. other stone crosses are found in lancashire, cumbria and the scottish borders, some of these in the anglo-saxon cross making tradition, like the famous ruthwell cross. whether these were especially associated with preaching is uncertain. later market crosses were generally not, although all sorts of public announcements, no doubt sometimes including preaching, took place beside them. bibiana candelas ramírez (born december 2, 1983 in torreon, coahuila) is a 6'5" (195 cm) female beach volleyball and indoor volleyball player who represented her native country, mexico, at the 2008 olympics with her beach partner, mayra garcía. candelas was born in torreón, coahuila. she graduated in 2002 from colegio ponceño in puerto rico, but attended preparatoria luzac in torreón as a freshman and sophomore. she was an eight-year (1997–2004) member of the mexico women's national volleyball team. she played middle blocker at the university of southern california from 2002–2005 and was a three time all-american. she helped her team win the 2002 and 2003 ncaa women's volleyball championship, as well as a final four appearance in 2004. candelas played in the 2002 pan-american cup helping her team to reach the 4th place and individually winning the best blocker award. candelas won the silver medal in 2011 pan american games. there's a riot going on is the fifteenth full-length studio album by the american band yo la tengo, and was released through matador records on march 16, 2018. "there's a riot going on" was ranked the 41st best release of the year in "the wire" magazine's annual critics' poll. the title of the album is derived from the 1971 sly and the family stone album "there's a riot goin' on". pierre gaultier de la vérendrye de boumois (december 1, 1714 – september 13, 1755) was the second son of pierre gaultier de varennes, sieur de la vérendrye. an explorer and fur trader who served many years under the command of his father, he was born on île aux vaches, (isle of cows) near sorel, new france. the young pierre spent two years in the colonial regular troops las a cadet, doing garrison duty in montreal. in 1731, when his father planned an expedition to expand the fur trade westward and at the same time search for a water route to the western sea, he accompanied his father and brothers jean baptiste, françois, and louis-joseph as a member of the expedition. he spent the winter at fort kaministiquia while his older brother jean baptiste and his cousin and the second in command, christopher dufrost de la jemeraye, carried on to rainy lake and established fort st. pierre. in 1732 he accompanied his father to lake of the woods, where they built fort st. charles. in the spring of 1734, after his father had left for montreal, pierre briefly was left in command of fort st. charles until relieved by la jemeraye. in february 1737 pierre accompanied his father to fort maurepas, and in june the two men left the west for montreal and quebec. from august 1738 until november 1739, pierre was entrusted with the command of fort st. charles while his father explored into the mandan country north of the missouri river. starting out from fort la reine on the assiniboine river and accompanied by two frenchmen, he travelled south in 1741 as far as two spanish forts, probably in present-day nebraska, before turning back. he returned from this expedition with two horses and some articles of spanish make. these are the first two horses of historical record in what is now manitoba. later the same year when his father returned from the east in october pierre was sent to build fort dauphin near present-day winnipegosis, manitoba. his mission completed, pierre invited the crees and assiniboins to bring their furs from then on to the new fort, then he returned to fort la reine where he spent the entire year of 1742. pierre gaultier de la vérendrye was active as a fur-trader and explorer in the west even after his father was relieved of his command in 1744 up to 1749 when he finally returned east and re-entered the army. he was active at fort beauséjour where he served until it was captured by the british in 1755. he died shortly after at quebec. his death was in montréal, specifically. his death was assassination, and many agree that the british wanted to kill such a valuable addition to the french. lot 9 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada. it is part of halifax parish. lot 9 was awarded to

the fascia, the connective tissues surrounding muscles, blood vessels and nerves. unlike other diseases in that category, it is limited to the arms and legs, and usually resolves itself, although some cases require corticosteroids, and some cases are associated with aplastic anemia. the presentation of eosinophilic fasciitis is similar to scleroderma or systemic sclerosis. however, unlike scleroderma, it affects the fascia, not the skin (dermis). the characteristic and severe effects of scleroderma and systemic sclerosis, such as raynaud's syndrome, involvement of the extremities, prominent small blood vessels (telangiectasia), and visceral changes such as swallowing problems, are absent. it was first characterized in 1974, and it is not yet known whether it is actually a distinct condition or just a different presentation. however, it remains used for diagnostic purposes. several cases have been reported after strenuous exercise. as it is a rare disease, a clear set of symptoms is difficult to define. usually, patients show severe pain and swelling is reported but clinical presentations vary. it can have an 'orange peel' like appearance. less common features are joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. most cases are idiopathic, but several triggers might related to the development of eosinophilic fasciitis, such as strenuous exercise, initiation of hemodialysis, infection with borrelia burgdorferi, some medications such as statins, phenytoin, ramipril, and subcutaneous heparin. the key to diagnosis is skin changes combined with blood eosinophilia but the most accurate test is a skin, fascia and muscle biopsy. common treatments include corticosteroids such as prednisone, though other medications such as hydroxychloroquine have also been used. the prognosis is usually good in the case of an early treatment if there is no visceral involvement. typical age of onset is around 40 to 50 years. it is not clear whether it is more common in women than men - patient numbers are small and some studies report a preponderance of men and others women. it is also found in children. pteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order polypodiales, including some 1150 known species in ca 45 genera (depending on taxonomic opinions), divided over five subfamilies. the family includes four groups of genera that are sometimes recognized as separate families: the adiantoid, cheilanthoid, pteroid, and hemionitidoid ferns. relationships among these groups remain unclear, and although some recent genetic analyses of the pteridales suggest that neither the family pteridaceae nor the major groups within it are all monophyletic, as yet these analyses are insufficiently comprehensive and robust to provide good support for a revision of the order at the family level. members of pteridaceae have creeping or erect rhizomes. the leaves are almost always compound and have linear sori that are typically on the margins of the leaves and lack a true indusium, typically being protected by a false indusium formed from the reflexed margin of the leaf. smith et al. (2006) carried out the first higher-level pteridophyte classification published in the molecular phylogenetic era. smith referred to the ferns as monilophytes, dividing them into four groups. the vast majority of ferns were placed in the polypodiopsida. in 2016, the pteridophyte phylogeny group divided order polypodiales into six suborders. pteridaceae is the sole family in suborder pteridiineae, with 52 genera. the suborder has the same circumscription as smith et al. used for the family. the phylogenetic relationship between these six suborders is shown in this cladogram: as traditionally defined, the groups within pteridaceae are as follows: based on phylogenetic research, christenhusz "et al." (2011) divided the pteridaceae genera into five subfamilies. these roughly correspond with the groups listed above, with the main difference being that "adiantoid" and "vittarioid" ferns are combined under the vittarioideae subfamily name. the approach was followed by the pteridophyte phylogeny group classification of 2016 (ppg i). the following phylogram, showing the relationships between the subfamilies listed above, is based on schuettpelz & pryer (2008). mostly terrestrial or epipetric (growing on rock). lot 13 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada. it is part of richmond parish. lot 13 was awarded to john pownall, secretary to the lords of trade in the 1767 land lottery; and passed to the marquess of hertford by 1796. incorporated municipalities: civic

officially named by the us armed forces, but is unofficially known by the same name as its civilian counterpart. the c-26a is the military version of the model sa227-ac metro iii; the c-26b is the military version of the model sa227-bc metro iii and model sa227-dc metro 23; and uc-26c is the military designation for the model sa227-at merlin ivc. the united states air force bought eleven c-26a aircraft based on the sa227-ac, two of these being supplied to the venezuelan air force. the first three c-26bs were procured later in the 1980s, two for the us army and one for the usaf. these three had been built as sa227-bc models. later c-26bs were the military equivalent of the metro 23 and the usaf took delivery of 37 examples. some of these were transferred to the peruvian air force and the us army, while six were transferred to the us navy as c-26ds. the us army also took a second-hand merlin ivc and operated it as the solitary uc-26c. a metro iii, c/n ac-614, was modified as the fairchild aircraft/lockheed multi mission surveillance aircraft, featuring a lockheed phased array radar in a long pod under the fuselage. several aspects of the mmsa aircraft were incorporated on some usaf c-26s redesignated as the rc-26b, operated by the air national guard (ang) in various states. these aircraft have been primarily used for department of defense reconnaissance mission support to various agencies of the department of homeland security such as the united states coast guard (uscg) and customs and border protection (cbp) in the war on drugs, and to uscg and/or the federal emergency management agency (fema) in the wake of natural disasters. the rc-26b aircraft were originally configured with a belly pod containing a sensor turret and a data recorder. recently, this pod has been removed and a sensor turret has been added to the belly of the aircraft. some of the rc-26bs were operated for a time with civil registrations. on 4 february 2019, a contract for elbit systems of america to provide an avionics upgrade to the air national guard's rc-26bs was announced. the us navy operates several c-26d aircraft, modified for range support, at the pacific missile range facility barking sands in hawaii. the berwick bandits are a speedway team based at shielfield park, berwick upon tweed, the club competes in the british sgb championship. berwick have been operational in consecutive seasons from 1968 through to the present day. for such a small club, berwick have had relative success. they were division 2 knock-out cup winners in 1980 and 1989, and the gold cup, in their only top flight season in 1991 whilst owned by entrepreneur terry lindon. to add to this there were two national league riders championships for wayne brown (1980), steve mcderrmott (1983) and a crc win for nick morris in 2017. in 1980 berwick left shielfield park after a disagreement with the landlords berwick rangers fc. they raced their remaining fixtures as 'nomads' including racing the second leg of the ko cup final at brough park newcastle. in 1981 the bandits were still homeless and carried on riding home fixtures at barrow, workington and glasgow before being forced to quit nl racing after a protest from edinburgh boss mike parker. the bandits were, however, allowed to defend their ko cup, reaching the final against edinburgh, which the monarchs won. between 1982 and 1995, berwick bandits were based at the berrington lough track near ancroft, northumberland. the last meeting staged at berrington lough was the academy league ko cup final 1st leg v stoke potters on the 21st of october 1995; the final race was won by glyn taylor after kevin little's bike packed up whilst leading. on 9 july 1995, bikes returned to shielfield park for the first time in 15 years so that council officials could carry out noise tests, and on 17 august 1996, the bandits returned to shielfield park for their second spell at the tweedmouth track. berwick won the premier league four-team championship in 2002. in 2005, berwick enjoyed one of their most successful seasons ever; they were 2nd in the premier league, semi-finalists of the knock-out cup, semi-finalists of the young shield and had a series of impressive away wins, the highlight being the 53-38 away win over the exeter falcons. in 2008, the bandits made the final of the young shield, losing out to workington comets in what turned out to be promoter peter waite's last meeting in charge. in 2009, a new promotion came in, spearheaded by longtime supporter and north berwick butcher john anderson, with cornhill shopkeeper linda waite (no relation to peter) joining john and his sons. on 26 july 2010, the berwick promotion announced that there had been a change in ownership. lynda waite stepped down from her role to concentrate on the family business at cornhill village shop, but she stated that she would be proud to sponsor the 2010 bordernapolis event so that her link with berwick speedway would continue. after her departure, john anderson announced the new investor was george hepburn, owner of berwick building contractor george hepburn and son ltd., a long-term supporter of the bandits and sponsor of rider lee complin. following the announcement of george hepburn's investment, it was then announced that dave peet (team manager, late-2008 to mid-2010) had departed from the club and had been replaced by the track curator and staff manager ian rae. rae's association with speedway in berwick-upon-tweed extended back to his role as stadium manager at their berrington lough stadium, followed by several years – up until 2001 – as team manager. berwick won the premier league four-team championship for a second time in 2012. in 2015, the bandits owner john anderson announced mid-season, amid a run of poor results and dwindling attendances, that it was time for new blood to come aboard, either in the form of a takeover, or by an input of new ideas and capital investment. the other option available was the closure of the club and the liquidation of the club's assets. after some months of apparent inactivity and inertia, three new associate directors came aboard, and the bandits declared their intention to continue in advance of the speedway promoters annual meeting. the associate directors were a trio of berwick-based businessmen, with successful enterprises and connections in the berwick community, something that had been identified as a weakness in the previous management structure. the trio consisted of michael mullan of castle blinds, dennis hush of ideal carpets, and property investor darren amers. in august 2016 it was announced that the trio of hush, mullan and amers had resigned their positions citing the incumbent owner's reluctance to change. on 4 september 2016, berwick speedway issued a statement from bandits promoter and owner john anderson, on behalf of his fellow directors ryan anderson and george hepburn, that the 2016 season was to be their last in charge and the club was up for sale as a going concern and they were ready to talk to interested parties. on 21 october 2016, the club announced it had new owners: 2016 team manager scott courtney, his younger brother jamie courtney and 1992 world champion gary havelock. in january 2018, it was revealed in companies house returns that havelock had left the club, and was no longer a director, and on 5 november 2018, a statement was issued saying that scott and jamie courtney were putting the club up for sale. however, on 19 november 2018, jamie courtney announced the club would run in 2019. scott courtney took a 'back-seat role' in the club, leaving his brother jamie, along with new co-promoters gary flint and steven dews. dennis mccleary, who was co-promoter with scott courtney, stepped down from his role for the 2019 season. in 2019, berwick narrowly missed out on a play-off spot for the second season running. 2016 team also rode 2015 team also rode 2014 team also

the mice galaxies, are two spiral galaxies in the constellation coma berenices. about 290 million light-years away, they began the process of colliding and merging. their name refers to the long tails produced by tidal action—the relative difference between gravitational pulls on the near and far parts of each galaxy—known here as a galactic tide. it is a possibility that both galaxies, which are members of the coma cluster, have experienced collision, and will continue colliding until they coalesce. the colors of the galaxy are peculiar. in ngc 4676a a core with some dark markings is surrounded by a bluish white remnant of spiral arms. the tail is unusual, starting out blue and terminating in a more yellowish color, despite the fact that the beginning of each arm in virtually every spiral galaxy starts yellow and terminates in a bluish color. ngc 4676b has a yellowish core and two arcs; arm remnants underneath are bluish as well. the galaxies were photographed in 2002 by the hubble space telescope. in the background of the mice galaxies, there are at least 3200 galaxies, at distances up to 13 billion light-years. lot 19 is a township in prince county, prince edward island, canada. it is part of st. david's parish. lot 19 was awarded to brothers john and walter patterson in the 1767 land lottery. one quarter was granted to loyalists in 1783. incorporated municipalities: civic address communities: the unincorporated communities of travellers rest, new annan, wilmot valley and kelvin grove in the western part of the township is one of the few areas in prince county experiencing a modest rate of growth, largely due to their geographic proximity to the town of kensington and the city of summerside. in 2001 the township had a population of 1,775

a disturbance of one another. an example of a minor interaction is a satellite galaxy's disturbing the primary galaxy's spiral arms. an example of a major interaction is a galactic collision, which may lead to a galaxy merger. a giant galaxy interacting with its satellites is common. a satellite's gravity could attract one of the primary's spiral arms, or the secondary satellite's path could coincide with the position of the primary satellite's and so would dive into the primary galaxy (the sagittarius dwarf elliptical galaxy into the milky way being an example of the latter). that can possibly trigger a small amount of star formation. such orphaned clusters of stars were sometimes referred to as "blue blobs" before they were recognized as stars. colliding galaxies are common during galaxy evolution. the extremely tenuous distribution of matter in galaxies means these are not collisions in the traditional sense of the word, but rather gravitational interactions. colliding may lead to merging if two galaxies collide and do not have enough momentum to continue traveling after the collision. in that case, they fall back into each other and eventually merge into one galaxy after many passes through each other. if one of the colliding galaxies is much larger than the other, it will remain largely intact after the merger. the larger galaxy will look much the same, while the smaller galaxy will be stripped apart and become part of the larger galaxy. when galaxies pass through each other, unlike during mergers, they largely retain their material and shape after the pass. galactic collisions are now frequently simulated on computers, which use realistic physics principles, including the simulation of gravitational forces, gas dissipation phenomena, star formation, and feedback. dynamical friction slows the relative motion galaxy pairs, which may possibly merge at some point, according to the initial relative energy of the orbits. a library of simulated galaxy collisions can be found at the paris observatory website: galmer galactic cannibalism refers to the process in which a large galaxy, through tidal gravitational interactions with a companion, merges with that companion; that results in a larger, often irregular galaxy. the most common result of the gravitational merger between two or more galaxies is an irregular galaxy, but elliptical galaxies may also result. it has been suggested that galactic cannibalism is currently occurring between the milky way and the large and small magellanic clouds. streams of gravitationally-attracted hydrogen arcing from these dwarf galaxies to the milky way is taken as evidence for the theory. galaxy harassment is a type of interaction between a low-luminosity galaxy and a brighter one that takes place within rich galaxy clusters, such as virgo and coma, where galaxies are moving at high relative speeds and suffering frequent encounters with other systems of the cluster by the high galactic density of the latter. according to computer simulations, the interactions convert the affected galaxy disks into disturbed barred spiral galaxies and produces starbursts followed by, if more encounters occur, loss of angular momentum and heating of their gas. the result would be the conversion of (late type) low-luminosity spiral galaxies into dwarf spheroidals and dwarf ellipticals. evidence for the hypothesis had been claimed by studying early-type dwarf galaxies in the virgo cluster and finding structures, such as disks and spiral arms, which suggest they are former disk systems transformed by the above-mentioned interactions. however, the existence of similar structures in isolated early-type dwarf galaxies, such as leda 2108986, has undermined this hypothesis astronomers have estimated the milky way galaxy will collide with the andromeda galaxy in about 4.5 billion years. it is thought that the two spiral galaxies will eventually merge to become an elliptical galaxy or perhaps a large disk galaxy. winedt is a shareware unicode (utf-8) editor and shell for microsoft windows. it is primarily used for the creation of tex (or latex) documents,

april 1953) is an irish independent politician who has served as minister of state for disability issues since may 2016. he served as a teachta dála (td) from 2002 to 2020. born in tuam, county galway, in 1953. he was educated at university college dublin. he went on to become a primary school principal at st. mary's christian brothers school in dublin, before entering politics. he had two daughters with his wife anne, who died in november 2009. mcgrath was a contestant on the "you're a star" charity special in summer 2005, where he came in second. he released a charity single in december 2005, which featured the christmas song "angels we have heard on high" and the classic "bad, bad leroy brown". all proceeds from the sales of this single were donated to down syndrome ireland. he was an unsuccessful candidate in the dublin north-central constituency at the 1992 and 1997 general elections. he was elected to dublin city council in 1999, with the second-highest vote in the clontarf local electoral area. he was first elected to dáil éireann at the 2002 general election, where he stood as an independent health alliance candidate in the dublin north-central constituency. he joined the technical group, established to ensure dáil speaking time for independent tds. in march 2003, due to being a dual mandate td, he gave up his dublin city council seat to ger drogan, who later was replaced by fintan cassidy, who failed to get elected in the subsequent 2004 local elections. mcgrath was re-elected to the 30th dáil at the 2007 general election, confounding predictions that he would lose due to the loss of a seat from the constituency. he garnered a large number of transfers from the sinn féin and labour party candidates. as an independent member of the 30th dáil, mcgrath pledged his support for the new government formed in june 2007. in so doing, he secured a deal with taoiseach bertie ahern, which he made public by entering it in the dáil record. this public announcement was hailed by many observers who had criticised other independent tds such as michael lowry and jackie healy-rae for keeping similar deals secret. on 20 october 2008, following the 2009 budget, mcgrath withdrew his support for the government in protest at the abolition of an automatic medical card for the over-70s, cuts in education and the increase of the pupil-teacher ratio. following the election of pearse doherty to the dáil, mcgrath joined the technical group, which consisted of the sinn féin deputies and the independent maureen o'sullivan. he was re-elected at the 2011 general election, where he served as chair of the technical group. mcgrath endorsed the independent candidate damien o'farrell at the 2009 local elections for the clontarf local electoral area in dublin city council, who was elected topping the poll. during the 2011 presidential election, mcgrath initially agreed to support senator david norris for nomination as a candidate. on 2 august, norris publicly announced at a press conference that he was withdrawing from the presidential race. this followed the decision of mcgrath, and the tds john halligan and thomas pringle to withdraw their support following revelations that norris had written a letter to an israeli court asking clemency for his former partner ezra nawi, who was then facing criminal charges. norris withdrew his candidacy on 2 august due to the controversy. sinn féin proposed martin mcguinness for their nomination for a presidential candidate. mcgrath agreed, along with four other independent tds, to sign mcguinness's nomination paper. mcgrath resigned as chair of the technical group in october 2012, after a dispute with mick wallace, over wallace's participation in the loose alliance related to speaking rights in the dáil. he joined the independent alliance at its inception in 2016. he contested the 2016 general election under that banner, in dublin bay north owing to the abolition of dublin north-central. he was re-elected to the dáil and then entered talks on government formation. on 6 may 2016, he entered government with fine gael, under taoiseach enda kenny, as minister of state for disability issues. mcgrath was also appointed a "super junior minister", meaning he attends cabinet meetings but cannot vote. in january 2020, in advance of the 2020 irish general election, mcgrath announced that he would not be seeking re-election, but would return to other forms of political activism to support people with disabilities. describing himself as "someone who comes from the tradition of tone and connolly", mcgrath holds left-wing political views. he has cited health, education and disability as his policy priorities. he has also campaigned against the iraq war and the u.s. military's use of shannon airport as a stopover, and on local environmental issues. mcgrath has spoken in support of fidel castro's socialist government in cuba. when challenged on cuba's supposed poor human rights record, mcgrath replied that "cuba has a different kind of democracy to ireland." ngc 1532, also known as haley's coronet, is an edge-on barred spiral galaxy located approximately 50 million light-years from the solar system in the constellation eridanus. the galaxy was discovered by james dunlop on 29 october 1826. one supernova, sn 1981a, has been recorded in the galaxy. ngc 1532 is one of many edge-on spiral galaxies that possesses a box-shaped bulge. this is an indication that the bulge is actually a bar. such bars are easy to detect in face-on galaxies, where the structures can be identified visually. in inclined galaxies such as this one, however, careful analyses are needed to distinguish between bulges and bar structures. ngc 1532 may possess several dwarf companion galaxies. the galaxy is clearly interacting with one of these galaxies, the amorphous dwarf galaxy ngc 1531. the tidal forces from this interaction have created unusual plumes above the disk of ngc 1532. ngc 1532 is also an outlying member of the fornax cluster. ernst rudolf jaakson (11 august 1905, riga, livonia (then russian empire) – 4 september 1998, new york, united states) was an estonian diplomat whose unique contribution was to maintain estonia's legal continuity with his uninterrupted diplomatic service for 69 years. jaakson studied economics at the university of latvia in riga, and law at the university of tartu. he later graduated from columbia university in new york with a degree in economics. in 1919, jaakson began work in the legation of the newly independent estonia in riga. in 1928, he started work in the information division of the estonian ministry of foreign affairs. in 1929-1932, jaakson worked as the secretary of the estonian honorary consul in san francisco. in 1932, he was assigned to the estonian consulate general in new york. when the soviet union occupied estonia in 1940 and again in 1944, the united states and other democratic nations invoked the stimson doctrine, did not recognize the legality of soviet annexation of estonia, and continued to recognize the diplomatic representatives of the republic of estonia. in 1965, when his predecessor, johannes kaiv, died, jaakson became the consul in charge of the legation. thus, he was the chief diplomatic representative of estonia in the united states until estonia regained independence in 1991. throughout much of the 1980s, jaakson, as the longest-serving foreign diplomatic representative to the united states, held the position of "unofficial" dean of the diplomatic corps. during the long years of the soviet occupation when the baltic states' representatives in the west were often the object of curiosity or humorous dismissal, jaakson commanded near-universal respect, and he did so not peremptorily but by his personal authority. in 1991, jaakson was appointed estonia's ambassador to the united states and estonia's permanent representative to the united nations. from 1993, jaakson continued his work as the estonian consul general in new york. in 1995, ernst jaakson's autobiographical book "eestile" ("for estonia") was published, which deals not only with his life, but also gives a very good overview of the diplomatic developments which took place over the years. he died in new york in 1998, at the age of 93. he worked in the estonian foreign service for 79 years and served as a diplomat for 69 years. balaramapuram is one of the panchayat that forms the city of trivandrum, the capital of kerala, india. it is the most urbanized panchayat in trivandrum district. balaramapuram is famous as the centre for the production of traditional varieties of handloom textiles meant for the contemporary cloth wearing style of kerala. its unique craftsmanship makes it an ideal heirloom. .balaramapuram is also famous for mutton dishes,chicken dishes,oysters and fish items.religious harmony place a great role.st: sebastians church perunal during the month of january is a great example of this harmony.balaramapuram also has a railway station. balaramapuram is located on national highway 47 13 km south east of thiruvananthapuram (trivandrum) city in kerala, india and 16 km north west of parassala, the southern boundary of the state. balaramapuram lies 77 degrees 5 minutes east longitude and 8 degrees 23 minutes north latitude. during the regime of "his highness maharaja balaramavarma", from 1798 to 1810, handloom weaving was first introduced at balaramapuram. the maharaja and his delava (chief minister), ummini thampi jointly decided to convert balaramapuram and its surrounding places into an agro-based industrial belt with various traditional industries by the development of paddy and coconut cultivation, fishing, weaving, and oil extraction. separate streets with a clustered at identified places, providing a comparatively better infrastructure for development. the delava of maharaja brought seven weaver families (shaliars) from tamil nadu to produce fabrics for the members of the royal family and made them settle at balaramapuram in a separate location now called "shaliar street". market places were opened at convenient locations to make the marketing of products easier. the present residents of the street are the descendants of these seven families. among the prominent weaving masters, mr. ponnan alias appu panicker from thannivila is an acclaimed weaver who taught the business to others of this region. the place balaramapuram itself was named after the king who started industries in this region. the people of the shaliyar community speak tamil and marry within their own community. the community settlement has four main streets on which the weavers are settled in row houses. the four streets are single street, double street, vinayagar street, and the new street. the temple of agasthiar is placed axially along the main streets. the main deities are lord siva agasthiar muni and lopamudra . lord vinayaka, muruga, navagrahas, naga and krishna are also worshipped here. the current president of agasthiar swamy devasthanam is sri venkitachalam and secretary is sri laxmanan. the double street has two temples – the muttaramman temple and the vinayagar temple. there is a ganapathi temple in the vinayagar street. for males above 18, membership in the temple committee is compulsory. the temple and the related functions form the social hub of all the activities related with the community development. the shaliyar community settlement spreads over an area of about towards the south of nh-47. main entrance is from nh-47 to the 9 m wide single street. the entry is not well defined. the single street with two story buildings on either side act as an axis with the agasthiar temple being the focal point. the single street, double street and the new street are the main streets the agasthiar temple is placed at the point of intersection of these streets. the streets form a major interaction space as the row houses abut the streets with no front yard. the houses of the shaliyar weavers reflect their culture, occupation, and religious beliefs. they have rectangular layouts with houses sharing common walls. all the houses have production units attached to them. the houses of the wealthier families have showrooms. the special kind of architectural detailing of the facades, internal courtyards, and the arrangement of rooms to suit the occupation of weaving, make the houses unique in nature. there is very little open space or car parking facilities within the settlement. the streets are dotted with community wells. lack of infrastructure like levelled roads, public water supply, street drains and sewerage are some problems faced by the community. in most places the streets are not levelled and are not accessible for vehicles. the weavers use a primitive type of throw-shuttle pit looms for the production of exclusively cotton fabrics with pure zeri. they do not use any type of improved appliances such as dobby, jacquard, jala, etc. for the production of designs for cloth with extra warp and extra weft. identical appearance of designs, including warp and weft stripes on the face and backside of the fabric is obtained by this technique of weaving. no change has so far been taken place in the type of loom or technology of weaving in producing such varieties. the variety known as "pudava and kavani" (veshti and upper cloth with pure zeri) still remains as a prestigious bridal gift in marriages. the designs with zeri or coloured yarn, using the age-old technique still has unparallel appeal which can attract even the most sophisticated customers. five percent of the houses run agencies for hand loom items. these houses act as collecting points of hand loom clothes produced in the colony. nine percent of houses do not have any home based activity. twenty-seven percent of houses use traditional means of production, whereas 59% are based on new methods. presently, a major portion of the hand loom clothes produced in this area is sold to the handloom development corporation and hantex. due to the emergence of power looms in the weaving industry and drop in the prices of related items, the inhabitants of the colony have found it difficult to persevere in the same field of activity as a result of which, the younger generations are pursuing higher education and alternate employment to make ends meet. another reason for this sea of change in the aptitude of the inhabitants is the low price per unit put into making these hand loom items; the overheads being much too higher for houses having lesser looms that the ones, mass-producing these items with the help of separate work place close to the residence. all such varieties, which were reserved for exclusive production in the hand loom sector, are now extensively and widely produced in power looms making the hand loom products not competitive in the market. nowadays, a new concept in handloom industry introduced in this area is ayurvastra, a branch of ayurveda, the ancient 5,000-year-old indian system of vedic healthcare. loosely translated, "ayur" is sanskrit for health, and "vastra" is clothing, ayurvastra means healthy fabrics, ayurvastra project is initiated and launched by the directorate of handloom, department of industries and commerce and the department of government ayurveda college, aimed at creating a niche for the eco-friendly wellness textiles ( dyeing textiles using ayurvedic herbs and plants without using synthetic chemicals) ayurvastra is manufactured and exported by a 50-year-old balaramapuram handloom firm kairali exports (kairaliexports.com) exports ayurvastra brand fabrics to us (ayurtex.com), europe (ayurvastra.in) until 1990, the varieties of balaramapuram had excellent market potential and the weavers there were getting reasonable income and could maintain a better standard of living. nearly 5,100 looms were engaged in the production of such fabrics. no attempt was made to exploit the skill of such weavers, who are masters in their trade, to produce any other variety for expanding market demand. however, recently this seems to be changing and the demand for hand loomed products is high. villehardouin was a noble dynasty originating in villehardouin, a former commune of the aube department, now part of val-d'auzon, france. it is most notable as the ruling house of the principality of achaea, a frankish crusader state in the peloponnese peninsula of greece, between 1209 and 1278, when possession passed to the angevin kings of naples. dennstaedtiaceae is one of fifteen families in the order polypodiales, the most derived families within monilophytes (ferns). it comprises 10 genera with ca 240 known species, including one of the world's most abundant fern, "pteridium aquilinum" (bracken). members of the order generally have large, highly divided leaves and have either small, round intramarginal sori with cup-shaped indusia (e.g. "dennstaedtia") or linear marginal sori with a false indusium formed from the reflexed leaf margin (e.g. "pteridium"). the morphological diversity among members of the order has confused past taxonomy, but recent molecular studies have supported the monophyly of the order and the family. the reclassification of dennstaedtiaceae and the rest of the monilophytes was published in 2006, so most of the available literature is not updated. characteristics described by smith et al., and judd et al. generally, the family is pantropical, but due to the distribution of "pteridium" (the most widespread fern genus), dennstaedtiaceae can be found worldwide. "pteridium" is a well adapted early successional genus, generally described as a weed because of its ease of spread. the spore is light and robust, so it can travel relatively far and colonise open, disturbed environments easily. "dennsteadtia" is mostly tropical to warm-temperate, but not well represented in the amazon or africa. "oenotrichia" is in new caledonia. "leptolepia" is in new zealand, queensland (australia), and in new guinea. "microlepia" is in the asiatic-pacific. "paesia" occurs in tropical america, asia, and the western pacific. "hypolepis" is tropical and south-temperate. "blotiella" is strongly centered in africa. "histiopteris" is generally malesian, with one pantropic to south-temperate species. dennstaedtiaceae was previously considered the only family the order dennstaedtiales. dennstaedtiaceae now contains the previously defined families monachosoraceae ching, pteridiaceae ching, and hypolepidaceae pic. serm. before smith's classification in 2006, dennstaedtiaceae was a poly- and para- phyletic family, containing genera that now are classified within lindsaeaceae and saccolomataceae, and with the family monachosoraceae arising from within the dennstaedtiaceae clade. the nonmonophyletic nature of dennstaedtiaceae (pre-2006 classification) was proved and supported by multiple molecular studies. dennstaedtiaceae as now classified is supported as monophyletic, but the relation of the genera within the family have not yet been fully clarified. dennsteadtiaceae species and genera are usually known for their weedy nature (i.e. "pteridium" spp., "hypolepis" spp., "paesia" spp.), but some species are grown ornamentally ("blotiella" spp., "dennstaedtia" spp., "hypolepis" spp., "microlepia" spp.). the fiddleheads/crosiers of "pteridium aquilinum" have been known to be eaten, but they contain carcinogens, so this practice is not prevalent.
the rhizomes of "pteridium esculentum" were consumed by the maori during their settlement of new zealand in the 13th century, but no longer are a part of the maori diet. the rhizomes of "pteridium esculentum" contain about 50% starch when they grow in loose rich soil, at relatively deep depths. the rhizomes were a staple in the diet because once dried, the rhizomes were very light (perfect for travelling) and would keep for about a year as long as they remained dry. the leaves and spores of the "pteridium esculentum" are associated with toxins and carcinogens, and have been known to cause stock (cattle, sheep, horses, pigs) to sicken. ra un nefer amen (born rogelio alcides straughn, on january 6, 1944) is the founder of the ausar auset society, a pan-african spiritual organization dedicated to providing afrocentric based spiritual training to people of african descent. ra un nefer amen was born in the central american country of panama. amen attended panama's conservatory of music when he was six years old. he arrived in the united states on may 30, 1960, to continue his formal musical training and graduated from the brooklyn high school for boys in brooklyn, new york in 1961. upon graduating, amen continued his formal training at juilliard prep (pre-college division) and mannes college of music. trained originally as a concert pianist, composer, and music theoretician, amen passed on opportunities in the music industry to devote time to the spiritual education and uplift of african people. to accomplish this goal, he has written and published several books on the subject of ancient egyptian philosophy and spiritual culture, most notably "metu neter" (vols. 1-7) and the metu neter oracle. one of ra un nefer amen's early works, "meditation techniquies of the kabalists, vedantins and taoists" provides specific instruction for student initiates. instructions are provided for "moral laws" (pg. 16) or body-mind laws required for returning to a correct way of living, i.e., a way of living not deviated (see fall of man) or based upon unnatural conditionings. adherence to these laws will produce in the practitioner an understanding of the soul, will and consciousness (the three principles that constitute an exact knowledge of the self). returning to a proper way of living is a prerequisite bridge to be crossed through methods which include maintaining a proper diet. r.a. straughn (as he called himself at the time of the book's publication in the late 1970s) pointed out, for example, that the most people eat a diet "severely low in fresh fruits" (page 20). included is a specific regiment for hatha yoga techniques including postures asanas and breathing exercises pranayama including, specifically, a technique called dhumo breathing used for the purpose of cleansing the energy channels of the subtle body (see nadis). the book describes the three states of consciousness from yoga science which were perhaps first documented in patañjali's yoga sutra's: dhyāna, dhāraṇā, and samadhi. emphasis is placed upon the ability to control these states of consciousness, and thus avoid "sowing" in to one's consciousness, the "seeds" of thoughts which enter without the operation of one's will (only to cause un-willed thoughts to return again later and thus increase the likelihood of producing action and a further binding to one's conditionings). the book also includes an introduction to the chinese i ching oracle—a method of divination for providing answers to questions about one's path. the book warns practitioners not to use the i ching improperly, and only ask questions which the student has made every effort to answer before submitting them to the i ching (abuse of the i ching will lead to answers which cannot be comprehended, appear nonsensical, or offer no value). ra un nefer amen currently leads an international following as the "shekhem ur shekhem" ("chief priest and king") of the ausar auset society headquartered in brooklyn, new york. in 1984 he was selected by the ashanti king of agogo, nana kwame akuoko sarpong, to host the first durbar "(royal reception)" for an african king ever held outside of africa. thus, in october 1985 the shekhem ur shekhem ra un nefer amen hosted the durbar for asantehene otumfuo nana opoku ware ii. in november 1985, amen, along with fifty-four aas members, attended the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the ashanti confederacy, at the invitation of the asantehene in kumasi, ghana, west africa where he was enstooled as an omanhene of the ashanti on november 15, 1985. during this visit amen was also presented the epoh stool officially establishing an alliance between the kingship of the ashanti and the kingship of the ausar auset society. he was further conferred the position of paramount king under the title of odeneho "(king of kings)". additionally, amen was enstooled by nana kwame akuoko sarpong as co-ruler of agogo state in ghana on november 18, 1985. in his role as cultural liaison between african-americans and the national ghanaian house of chiefs, the shekhem ur shekhem, along with the ghanaian community in the united states have sponsored durbars for several other kings of africa, including togbi adeladza v, a king of the ewe; nii aumgi v, a king of the ga; nana adodankwa iii, king of okuapemman, and others. in 1986, ra un nefer amen was given a formal reception by president jerry rawlings of ghana as an official guest to the dedication of the nkrumah mausoleum memorial in accra, ghana. in 1991, amen was the official guest of the oni of the yoruba kingdom of ife, oba okunade sijuade olubuse ii in nigeria, where he was the sole african-american dignitary to the first ile ife reconstruction project. he was also received by the emir of kano, his royal majesty alhaji ado bayero. metu neter, vol. 1: the great oracle of tehuti and the egyptian system of spiritual cultivation d'arcy boulton may refer to: nikolai ivanovich nebogatov ( occasionally transliterated as nebogatoff, (april 20, 1849 – august 4, 1922) was a rear admiral in the imperial russian navy, noted for his role in the final stages of the russo-japanese war of 1904–1905. nebogatov was born into the family of a career naval officer in the vicinity of st petersburg and graduated from the sea cadets corps in 1869. he was promoted to lieutenant in 1874. in 1882–86 he was executive officer aboard the cruiser "razboinik" and in 1888 was given command of the gunboat "groza", followed in 1889, by the gunboat "grad". he was in command of numerous russian warships during his career, including the cruisers "krejs", "admiral nakhimov" (1896), and "minin". he was then appointed head of naval artillery training for the russian baltic fleet, and was promoted to rear admiral in 1901. during the russo-japanese war, the bulk of the russian baltic fleet was renamed the "second pacific squadron", and set sail under the command of admiral zinovy rozhestvensky on an epic journey to relieve the russian pacific fleet, trapped at the battle of port arthur by the imperial japanese navy. largely for political reasons, calls were made for a "third pacific squadron", consisting of mostly obsolete cruisers and coastal defence battleship to supplement the second pacific squadron. realizing that the ships were highly unsuited for the task, and faced with untrained crews, a number of russian admirals refused the command; however, nebogatov accepted the challenge. despite several incidents of sabotage by pro-revolutionary or anarchist elements within the crews, nebogatov sailed in february 1905 with the old battleship (as flagship), cruiser , and coastal-defense battleships , , and , as well as numerous transport ships. the squadron passed through the suez canal and crossed the indian ocean to rendezvous with the second pacific squadron at cam ranh bay, french indochina. rozhestvensky, who had opposed the sailing of the third pacific squadron from the beginning, did not share with him his future strategy and routing even at this late date, and also neglected to advise him of the death of admiral dmitry von fölkersam on may 24, an event which effectively made nebogatov second-in-command of the fleet after rozhestvensky. during the first day of the battle of tsushima on may 27, 1905 the japanese fleet concentrated its efforts against the second pacific squadron, so nebogatov's ships survived the fate of rozhestvenski's battleships. with rozhestvenski seriously wounded, and most of the second pacific squadron's warships sunk or lost, nebogatov took over command. after facing repeated torpedo attacks during the night, the remaining russian warships assembled around "emperor nikolai i". however, on sighting the main japanese fleet on the morning of may 28, he realized that his ships were no match for the japanese fleet, and that the russian cruiser division under admiral oskar enkvist would not arrive in time to prevent his annihilation. over the objections of most of his officers, nebogatov accepted admiral togo heihachiro's terms, signing an instrument of surrender aboard togo's flagship, the battleship , and turning over control of the remaining battleships "emperor nikolai i", , "general admiral graf apraxin", and "admiral senyavin" to the japanese. however, captain vasili fersen of the cruiser disobeyed orders and escaped through the japanese lines. the captain of the battleship "admiral ushakov", having become lost during the night, was unaware of the orders to surrender, and was sunk the next morning, out-gunned and outnumbered, by the japanese fleet. nebogatov was taken as a prisoner of war by the japanese, and while a prisoner was dishonorably discharged by the russian admiralty and stripped of his titles of nobility. on his return to russia, he and 77 of his subordinate officers were arrested and taken before a court martial in december 1906. nebogatov's defense that his defective ships, guns and ammunition would have made resulted in the meaningless slaughter of his men was rejected, and nebogatov and three of his captains were sentenced to death by firing squad on december 25, 1906. however, the sentences were commuted to 10 years in prison by order of tsar nicholas. he was released from the prison fortress of sts. peter and paul in may 1909, when he was pardoned on the occasion of the tsar's birthday. nebogatov subsequently moved to moscow, where he died in 1922. he was married to nadezhda petrova, with whom he had two daughters and one son. in russian language joe callanan (born 30 january 1949) is a former irish fianna fáil politician. he was born in kilconnell, county galway. he is a former teachta dála (td) for the galway east constituency. callanan was elected to dáil éireann at the 2002 general election but lost his seat at the 2007 general election. he is a nephew of a former galway east td johnny callanan. dennis hof's love ranch, known as the cherry patch ranch prior to 2010, is one of two brothels in crystal, nevada. it is also referred to as the love ranch south or love ranch las vegas due to its proximity to las vegas. both brothels in crystal were owned by maynard "joe" richards. in 2010, richards sold both to dennis hof, who said heidi fleiss would be a consultant. the license for the brothel was suspended in february 2018 over minor planning issues and then closed down by the county again on august 8, 2018, over alleged missed payments (of county fees) and paperwork being wrong, which sources cite immediately being refiled and taken before the courts for review. it is expected to reopen again later in 2018. on august 27, 2018, judge richard boulware ruled that dennis hof may re-open love ranch vegas as of august 28, 2018 stating that other brothels did not have their licenses revoked when they were late renewing. on october 16, 2018, dennis hof, the owner of the love ranch property was found dead in his bedroom at the love ranch. he is believed to have died in his sleep due to natural causes. hof died at his love ranch in pahrump, nevada following a party for his 72nd birthday that had been attended by flavor flav, joe arpaio, grover norquist and ron jeremy, the last of whom found hof unresponsive. police did not suspect foul play at the time of his death. wayne g. hammond ("wayne gordon hammond;" born february 11, 1953 in cleveland, ohio) is an american scholar known for his research and writings on the works of j. r. r. tolkien. he earned a bachelor of arts degree with honors as an english major at baldwin-wallace college in 1975 and master of arts in library science from the university of michigan in 1976. from august 1976 to june 2015 he was assistant librarian of the chapin library of rare books at williams college, and in july 2015 was promoted to chapin librarian. in 1994 hammond married fellow tolkien scholar christina scull and the two have since collaborated on several projects. the queensland teachers' union is an australian trade union with a membership of more than 46,000 teachers and principals in the queensland government's primary schools, secondary schools, special schools, senior colleges, tafe colleges and other educational facilities. more than 96 per cent of eligible teachers are members. as well as protecting the rights and conditions of its members, the qtu also sees the promotion of public education as a major part of its role. the queensland teachers' union was formed in january 1889, when seven regional teachers' organisations gathered at the school of arts in brisbane. it is the oldest teachers' union in australia and one of the oldest trade unions of any type in queensland. in 1895, the qtu published the first issue of the queensland education journal, later renamed the queensland teachers' journal, which is now the oldest continuous teachers' journal in australia. with the public service association, the qtu lead the campaign for the establishment of a state public service superannuation scheme for queensland, which eventually came into being in 1913. in may 1917, the qtu was granted registration as an industrial association in queensland's new arbitration court, and in november of that year the queensland teachers award became the first agreed in industrial arbitration processes anywhere in australasia, and one of the first negotiated in an industrial tribunal anywhere. in 1967, the industrial commission granted the qtu's application for equal pay for women teachers, something for which the union had been campaigning since 1919. the remote area incentive scheme, which tackles teacher shortages in the state's rural and remote areas by using incentives to attract and retain teachers, was introduced in 1990, after 16 years of qtu campaigning. in 2010 the qtu, along with other australian teacher unions, campaigned against the federal government's my school website, which publishes the naplan test performance of schools and provides comparisons between schools. in 2009, qtu members staged a national strike, the union's first in nine years, in support of a campaign for a salary increase. in 2008, qtu members in remote areas of queensland took strike action over what they regarded as the poor standard of housing supplied by the department of education and training. in 2015, the qtu established in collaboration with the independent education union of australia qld branch, the working group "teachers for refugees and asylum seekers". this working group was established after the forced removal of yeronga state high year 12 student mojgan shamslispoor to an immigration detention centre in darwin. all members have access to a qtu union rep, their first point of contact with the union. they are serving teachers elected by their colleagues to represent the union in the workplace. all members also have access to a union sub-branch and branch. the qtu has 99 branches, which cover every state school within their boundaries, as well as 30 tafe branches. each branch has two representatives on its local area council. there are 11 area councils across queensland. qtu state council (which meets five times a year, except conference years) and the qtu biennial conference (which meets once every two years) are the supreme decision making bodies of the union. each branch and area council is represented. the qtu executive manages union affairs between state council meetings. it consists of 13 serving teachers elected by state council and the union's senior officers: the president, vice-president, honorary vice-president, general secretary and two deputy general secretaries. the president, vice-president and honorary vice-president are elected by the members. they preside at meetings of executive, council and conference and must implement their decisions. they also handle media and community relations. the general secretary and the two deputy general secretaries are elected by state council and have primary responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the union. the union's headquarters are at milton in brisbane, and it has regional offices in cairns, the gold coast, maryborough, rockhampton, the sunshine coast, toowoomba and townsville. the qtu has 12 regional organisers based around the state. the qtu is not affiliated with any political party, nor does it donate funds to any political parties. under the qtu constitution, political party affiliation could only occur after a referendum of all members. however, the qtu does reserve the right to support/oppose candidates (before and during election campaigns), depending on their attitude and actions in relation to qtu policy positions - in particular on public education and industrial relations. the qtu is affiliated with the australian education union, as well as the australian council of trade unions and the queensland council of unions, the peak australian and queensland union bodies. the following is a list of compositions by the russian composer césar cui. "(note: cui's compositions, especially from the end of his life, remain in manuscript in the russian national library; likewise with the full orchestral scores of several of the operas. the recent publications of the last of cui's instrumental works (opp. 104-106) has addressed the research gap in his unknown works.)" a cappella unless otherwise marked. "(note: most of the orchestral works were issued also in arrangements for piano four-hands.)" "(also available with piano accompaniment)" "(for voice and piano unless otherwise noted.)" the above list was compiled from many, many sources, including exemplars of most of the printed scores themselves. some of the more important existing lists of cui's works are contained in the following, although each has its own limitations: other information on identifying and dating cui's works can be found in these sources: patrick mchugh (born 23 january 1953) is a former irish politician. he was an independent teachta dála (td) for the galway east constituency. mchugh was elected to dáil éireann at the 2002 general election, getting a 15.8% share of the vote. he was a member of the technical group established to ensure dáil speaking time for independent tds. he lost his seat at the 2007 general election, getting a 5.8% share of the vote. mchugh was first elected to galway county council in 1985. he was also elected to tuam town council in 1999. in 2001, he left the fianna fáil party and became an independent. he served as a county councillor until the abolition of the dual mandate in 2004. plessur district (, ) is a former administrative district in the canton of graubünden, switzerland. it had an area of and has a population of 40,707 in 2015. the former district is named after the river plessur which crosses it. however, the region along the plessur –and therefore the whole valley–is called schanfigg. it was replaced with the plessur region on 1 january 2017 as part of a reorganization of the canton. plessur district consisted of three "kreise" (sub-districts) chur, churwalden and schanfigg, which are formed from a total of twelve municipalities: entomostraca is a historical subclass of crustaceans, no longer in technical use. it was originally considered one of the two major lineages of crustaceans (the other being the class malacostraca), combining all other classes—branchiopoda, cephalocarida, ostracoda, copepoda and maxillopoda. the ostracoda have the body enclosed in a bivalve shell-covering, and are normally unsegmented. the branchiopoda have a very variable number of body-segments, with or without a shield, simple or bivalved, and some of the post-oral appendages normally branchial. the copepoda normally have a segmented body, not enclosed in a bi-valved shell-covering, fewer than twelve segments, the limbs not branchial. john cregan (born 21 may 1961) is a former irish fianna fáil politician. he served as a teachta dála (td) and senator from 1998 to 2011. he is from dromcolliher, county limerick. on 23 june 1998, cregan was elected to the 21st seanad éireann on the labour panel, at a by-election to fill the seat vacated by the labour party senator seán ryan, who had been elected to dáil éireann at a by-election. cregan was first elected to dáil éireann at the 2002 general election for the limerick west constituency and was re-elected at the 2007 general election. on 1 february 2011 cregan announced that he would not be a candidate at the imminent general election following disagreement with the new leader of fianna fáil, micheál martin. he currently serves as chairman of limerick gaa county board. john cregan may refer to: hanborough railway station is a railway station in the village of long hanborough in oxfordshire, england, serving the village and surrounding district. as a result of the cotswold line being singled the former up platform is the only one now in use for both up and down trains. it is served by great western railway trains between london paddington and . it is also the nearest station to the towns of woodstock and witney. there is a passenger-operated ticket machine (card payments only; not cash) at the entrance to the station platform. the station has two car parks, which between them provide 241 car spaces. however, on most weekdays the number of passengers parking at hanborough exceeds the number of spaces available. oxford bus museum is just east of the station, in the former goods yard. the oxford, worcester and wolverhampton railway opened the station on 4 june 1853, and it was originally named "handborough". between 1854 and 1861 it served as a junction for oxford-bound passengers changing from through trains between worcester and , for whom a refreshment room was provided. on 30 january 1965, by which time the station boards read "handborough for blenheim", it was the destination for the funeral train of sir winston churchill hauled by battle of britain class locomotive no. 34051 "winston churchill". in his commentary on the funeral for bbc television, richard dimbleby said the report "the reshaping of british railways" had scheduled the station for closure. in fact the station remained open, but in january 1966 it was de-staffed. thereafter the standard ow&wr wooden station building and goods shed were demolished. on 28 september 1992 the station was renamed "hanborough". toward the end of the 1990s the number of passengers slowly increased, until reaching an estimated total of almost 63,000 in 1999–2000. passenger numbers fluctuated until 2005–06, when the office of the rail regulator estimated that the total number for that year was just above 70,000. the number of passengers increased rapidly to 2015-16 was more than 271,000, but has since fallen to 232,000 following the opening of oxford parkway. more than 250 passengers a day come by car, but the original car park had only 50 spaces and by 2011 it had been overwhelmed. in august 2011 first great western and a house-building company jointly proposed a new development on a green field site next to the station that would provide new homes and a new 191-space car park. this was officially opened in july 2013, by which time it was already more than half-full each weekday. in november 2014 the cotswold line promotion group found 204 vehicles parked in the 191-space second car park and reported that it ""was being used beyond capacity on most weekdays"". plans were announced to increase services from hanborough station, by great western railway. a launch event was held in witney, at which gwr's managing director mark hopwood said that the investment needed was £275 million. double tracking would be reinstated between north oxford and long hanborough and two disused platforms reopened. the local constituency mp and prime minister david cameron told delegates at the meeting " am utterly convinced of the necessity of investing in this line. i will do everything i can to give this vision a boost" a new ticket office was officially opened in august 2019 as part of a £315,000 investment in the station. this will be open on weekdays. enuka vanessa okuma (; born september 20, 1976) is a canadian actress, best known for her role as detective traci nash in the global/abc police drama series, "rookie blue" (2010–2015). okuma is also known for her work on the canadian television series "madison" (1994–1998) and "" (2002–2005). she appeared in the first season of tv soap-opera "hillside" as the scheming and conspiring kelly. okuma was born in vancouver, british columbia. she is of nigerian descent, from the igbo people. in 1990, she began her career on television, appearing as regular cast member during the first season of the teen soap opera, "hillside". throughout the 1990s, she also played supporting roles in several made for television films and canadian television series, such as "madison". she eventually made her feature film debut with a supporting role in "double jeopardy" (1999). okuma co-starred in the american crime drama series "" from 2002 to 2005. she guest starred on various hit television series, including "dark angel", "odyssey 5", "cold case", "grey's anatomy" and "". she had the recurring role as marika donoso on the seventh season of the fox series "24". in 2010, okuma began starring in the global/abc police drama series, "rookie blue" as detective traci nash. when being interviewed about how she got her role on "rookie blue", okuma said: i originally auditioned for the part of gail [played by charlotte sullivan] and charlotte auditioned for traci. when we got the parts, i said, "i think i would rather play traci" and charlotte said, "i think i would rather play gail." thankfully, the producers thought the same. okuma was cast as one of lead characters in the abc pilot, "the adversaries", in 2015. that year, she also guest starred as nia lahey on the hit series "how to get away with murder". okuma provided the voice of lady une in the english dub of "mobile suit gundam wing", android 18 on the canadian version of "dragon ball z", jade on the canadian animated series "shadow raiders", and also voiced the gem fusion rhodonite in 5 episodes of "steven universe". okuma made her directorial debut with the short film, "cookie", on which she was also a writer, actor, and executive producer. okuma co-wrote the episode "best man" on "rookie blue". for her role in "madison", she was nominated for best performance in a children's or youth program or series at the 1995 gemini awards. the following year, also for "madison", she was nominated for best performance by an actress in a continuing leading dramatic role. okuma won a women in film award at the 1999 vancouver international film festival for her role in "daydrift". for her role on "rookie blue", okuma was nominated for best performance by an actress in a featured supporting role in a dramatic series at the 2011 gemini awards and the canadian screen award for best performance by an actress in a featured supporting role in a dramatic program or series in 2013. on july 2, 2011, she married musician joe gasparik. black easter is a fantasy novel by american writer james blish, in which an arms dealer hires a black magician to unleash all the demons of hell on earth for a single day. it was first published in 1968. the sequel is "the day after judgment". together, those two novellas form the third part of the thematic "after such knowledge" trilogy (the title is from a line of t. s. eliot's "gerontion": "after such knowledge, what forgiveness?") with "a case of conscience" and "doctor mirabilis". blish has stated that it was only after completing "black easter" that he realized that the works formed a trilogy. a shorter version of "black easter" was serialized as "faust aleph-null" in "if" magazine, august–october 1967; the book edition retains the phrase as its subtitle. "black easter" and its sequel were later published as a single volume under the title "black easter and the day after judgement" (1980); a 1990 edition from baen books was renamed "the devil's day". "black easter" and "the day after judgment" deal with what sorcery would be like if it existed, and the ritual magic for summoning demons as described in grimoires actually worked. its background was based closely on the writings of practicing magicians working in the christian tradition from the 13th to the 18th centuries. in the first book, a wealthy arms manufacturer, dr. baines, comes to a black magician, theron ware. initially baines tests ware's credentials by asking for two people to be killed, first the governor of california, rogan (reagan was governor at the time of writing) and then a rival physicist. when this is accomplished to baines' satisfaction, baines reveals his real reason: he wishes to release all the demons from hell on earth for one night to see what might happen. the book includes a lengthy description of the summoning ritual and a detailed (and as accurate as possible, given the available literature) description of the grotesque figures of the demons as they appear. tension between white magicians (who appear to have a line of communications with the unfallen host in heaven) and ware is woven over the terms and conditions of a magical covenant that is designed to provide for observers and limitations. "black easter" ends with baphomet announcing to the participants that the demons can not be compelled to return to hell: the war is over and god is dead. "the day after judgement", which follows in the series, develops and extends the characters from the first book. it suggests that god may not be dead, or that demons may not be inherently self-destructive, as something appears to be restraining the actions of the demons upon earth. in a lengthy miltonian speech at the end of the novel, satan mekratrig explains that, compared to humans, demons are good, and that if perhaps god has withdrawn himself, then satan beyond all others was qualified to take his place and, if anything, would be a more just god. however, the defeat of satan is complete. he cannot take up this throne and must hand the burning keys to man, as this is the most fell of all his fell damnations. he never wanted to be god at all, and so having won all, all has he lost. algis budrys was dissatisfied with "black easter", declaring it, despite blish's outstanding craftsmanship, to be "an unreasonably inflated short story." he particularly faulted the novel's abrupt conclusion, characterizing blish as an author "genuinely concerned with religion, not with trick endings." theron ware is named for the titular character of harold frederic's 1896 novel "the damnation of theron ware", a methodist minister who overestimates his intellectual abilities and social skills, loses his faith and his friends, and emigrates from his native rural new york to start a new life in seattle. many of the white magician monks at monte albano are named after blish's fellow science fiction writers: ("black easter", pp. 119–120) a reviewer of "black easter" said, of the book's california governor "rogan": "a californian governor named rogan, which must be an allusion to [ronald] reagan", who was then governor of california. other people have suggested that baines, the biggest arms dealer in the world in the book, is an allusion to then-u.s. president lyndon "baines" johnson, including ted white in his review of the book. blish replied to white's review, but did not comment on that claim. blish says in his foreword that all of the magical works and quotations mentioned in the text actually exist, as do the magical symbols reproduced, and "there are no "necronomicons" or other such invented works". this is true insofar as blish did not invent any of the works himself. "the book of the sayings of tsiang samdup" was invented by talbot mundy; it is the supposed source of the quotations at the beginning of each chapter in his novels "om — the secret of ahbor valley" (1924) and "the devil's guard" (1925). heighington railway station is located on heighington lane and serves aycliffe business park (formerly aycliffe industrial park) in the town of newton aycliffe, county durham, england. the station is on the tees valley line northwest of . the unstaffed station is operated by northern who provide all passenger train services. the station is on the bishop line which is a community railway from bishop auckland to darlington. it is somewhat unusual in that its platforms are staggered, sited either side of a level crossing. the station has kept its listed manual signal box (which supervises the aforementioned crossing, the connection into the hitachi plant and the single line section south of here through to darlington), but this had its semaphore signals replaced by colour lights when the connection into the hitachi factory was installed and commissioned in november 2014. the station is unmanned and has a card-only ticket machine, so all passengers wanting to buy tickets with cash must buy on board the train or prior to travel. the amenities here were improved as part of the tees valley metro project in 2013. the package for this station included new fully lit waiting shelters, renewed station signage, digital cis displays and the installation of cctv (all of the tees valley line stations apart from and have been upgraded and provided with cis displays). the long-line public-address system (pa) has been renewed and upgraded with pre-recorded train announcements. running information can also be obtained by telephone and timetable poster boards. step-free access is available to both platforms via ramps from the crossing. the station lies on the route of the stockton and darlington railway (s&d), the first public railway. it was here in 1825 that "locomotion no. 1" designed by george stephenson was placed on the track prior to first journey. once it was placed on the line and all was ready, it was found that nobody had means of lighting the boiler. stephenson sent a messenger to get a lit lantern. however, at this point a navvy called robert metcalf stepped forward and offered use of his "burning glass" (a piece of glass similar to a magnifying glass) which he used to light his pipe. it was with this that stephenson was able to light the boiler for that first journey. the main line of the s&d was opened on 27 september 1825 from phoenix colliery at etherley to stockton, and this station was opened the same day, being originally named "aycliffe lane". it was subsequently renamed three times: first to "aycliffe and heighington", later, on 1 july 1871, it became "aycliffe", although this name lasted for just over three years, because on 1 september 1874 it gained the present name of "heighington". the grade ii listed signal box was opened 1872 and was originally commissioned by the north eastern railway central division. it is one of the earliest signal boxes in the country still in existence and it is believed that at the most only four pre-date it. the design was possibly by thomas prosser, the company's architect. the building fits the earliest central division design which the signalling study group classified the design as type c1. the original signal lever frame mechanism was replaced 1906. at the time of its inspection prior to gaining listed status in 2007 this 1906 mechanism was still in use. the lever frame was extended around 1912. the extension to both mechanism and building is believed to have been done in order to fit signalling controls for a new electrified line. the lever system was to the current 11 levers in 1987. on the opposite side of the railway line are the original station buildings dating from around 1826-27 or 1835 depending on source. the original design called for a public house which would act as a waiting room. although the buildings no longer form part of the modern station the pub is still in use, called the locomotion number 1. a cobbled area outside of the pub is believed to be part of the original 1825 station platform. the station has a basic hourly service each way on weekdays (improved from two-hourly off peak at the december 2017 timetable change). the service is also hourly on sundays. trains usually run through to , though there is one departure each weekday to . the new hitachi intercity express programme train assembly plant was built not far from the station in the aycliffe business park and opened in 2015. work commenced on the £82 million facility in march 2014 and it was officially opened on 3 september 2015 by uk prime minister david cameron. the factory has a rail connection to the running line controlled from the station signal box to allow for delivery of the new sets once completed (there are also of sidings and a long electrified test track within the plant). the new class 800/801 iep sets will be built or fitted out here for use on the east coast main line and great western main line, along with class 385 (at200) commuter emus destined for use on scottish suburban routes around glasgow and edinburgh. khxt (107.9 fm, "hot 107.9") is a rhythmic top 40 serving the lafayette area. the townsquare media outlet broadcasts with an erp of 97 kw and is licensed to erath, louisiana. its studios are located on bertrand road in lafayette, and its transmitter is located north of st. martinville, louisiana. the station originally debuted with a news/talk format at 107.7 as kpel-fm in 1992, but by 1997 they would switch signals to 107.9 and format to classic rock as krxz. in 2000 it changed the calls to krka and in 2003 switched to its current format. lueen may refer to: donna kane is an american theater actress. she was the recipient of the 1986 theatre world award for her off-broadway portrayal of ruby in "dames at sea".  kane had her broadway debut in 1989 in "meet me in st. louis", playing the role of esther. she has won acclaim for her performances in the 1995 u.s. tour of "joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat"  with donny osmond, "les misérables"  on broadway (1993), and as maria in "west side story"  in vienna and munich (1995). kane received her b.a. in political science from mount holyoke college in 1984. she was also a great singer. the history of the single-lens reflex camera (slr) begins with the use of a reflex mirror in a camera obscura described in 1676, but it took a long time for the design to succeed for photographic cameras: the first patent was granted in 1861, and the first cameras were produced in 1884 but while elegantly simple in concept, they were very complex in practice. one by one these complexities were overcome as optical and mechanical technology advanced, and in the 1960s the slr camera became the preferred design for many high-end camera formats. the advent of digital point-and-shoot cameras in 1990s through the 2010s with lcd viewfinder displays reduced the appeal of the slr for the low end of the market. the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera is increasingly challenging the mid price range market. but the slr remains the camera design of choice for most professional and ambitious amateur photographers. the photographic single-lens reflex camera (slr) was invented in 1861 by thomas sutton, a photography author and camera inventor who ran a photography related company together with louis désiré blanquart-evrard on jersey. only a few of his slr's were made. the first production slr with a brand name was calvin rae smith's monocular duplex (usa, 1884). other early slr cameras were constructed for example by louis van neck (belgium, 1889), thomas rudolphus dallmeyer (england, 1894) and max steckelmann (germany, 1896), and graflex of the united states and konishi in japan produced slr cameras as early as 1898 and 1907 respectively. these first slrs were large format cameras. while slr cameras were not very popular at the time, they proved useful for some work. these cameras were used at waist level; the ground glass screen was viewed directly, using a large hood to keep out extraneous light. in most cases, the mirror had to be raised manually as a separate operation before the shutter could be operated. following camera technology in general, slr cameras became available in smaller and smaller sizes; medium format slrs soon became common; at first larger box cameras, and later "pocketable" models such as the ihagee vest-pocket exakta of 1933. the first 35mm prototype slr was the soviet union's "спорт" ("sport"). prototyped in 1934, it was a very smart design with a 24mm × 36mm frame size, but did not enter the market until 1937. therefore, it cannot be claimed as the first 35mm slr. early 35 mm slr cameras had similar functionality to larger models, with a waist-level ground-glass viewfinder and a mirror which remained in the taking position—blacking out the viewfinder—after an exposure, returning when the film was wound on. innovations which transformed the slr were the pentaprism eye-level viewfinder and the instant-return mirror—the mirror flipped briefly up during exposure, immediately returning to the viewfinding position. the half-silvered fixed pellicle mirror, without even the brief blackout of the instant-return mirror, was innovative but did not become standard. through-the-lens light metering was an important advance. as electronics advanced, new functionality, discussed below, became available. the real first 35mm format slr was the ihagee kine exakta, produced in 1936 in germany, which was fundamentally a scaled-down vest-pocket exakta. this camera used a waist-level finder. various other models were produced such as the kine-exakta, the exakta ii, the exakta varex (featuring an interchangeable pentaprism eye-level viewfinder and identified in the united states as the 'exakta v'), the exakta varex vx (identified in the united states as the 'exakta vx'), the exakta vx iia, the exakta vx iib, the exakta vx500 and the exakta vx1000. ihagee also manufactured less expensive cameras under the 'exa' camera label such as the exa, the exa ia, the exa ii, the exa iia, the exa iib (which was generally not considered part of the "official" exa line), and the exa 500. the exacta sold well and triggered other camera manufacturers to develop 35mm slrs. sales were particularly strong in the medical and scientific fields. a large range of lenses and accessories were made by a variety of manufacturers, turning the camera into one of the first system cameras−-although motor drives and bulk loading backs were never produced by ihagee. rectaflex was the name of an italian camera maker from 1947 to 1958. it was also the name of their sole model. the rectaflex was a 35mm slr camera with a focal plane shutter, interchangeable lenses and a pentaprism eye-level finder. rectaflex (followed by contax s) was the first slr camera introducing the modern pentaprism eye-level finder. the first prototype (rectaflex 947) was presented in 1947 with a final presentation in april 1948, and start of series production (a 1000) in september the same year, thus hitting the market one year before the contax s, presented in 1949. both were preceded by alpa-reflex, first presented to a wider public in april 1944 at the swiss trade fair in basel (schweizer mustermesse). alpa’s production was slow up to 1945, and it lacked a pentaprism-image was reversed. zeiss had begun work on a 35mm slr camera in 1936 or 1937. this camera used an eye-level pentaprism, which allowed eye-level-viewing of an image oriented correctly from left to right. waist-level finders, however, showed a reversed image, which the photographer had to mentally adjust for, while composing the image by looking downward and viewing and focusing. to brighten the viewfinder image, zeiss incorporated a fresnel lens in-between the ground-glass screen and the pentaprism. this design principle became the conventional slr design used today. world war ii intervened, and the zeiss slr did not emerge as a production camera until zeiss, in the newly created east germany factory, introduced the contax s in 1949, with production ending in 1951. the italian rectaflex, series 1000 went into series production the year before, in september 1948, thus being market ready one year before the contax. both were historic progenitors of many later slrs that adopted this arrangement. in 1939, kamerawerk niedersedlitz dresden presented the praktiflex at the leipzig spring fair. the camera was a waist type with an m40x1 screw mount and a horizontal cloth focal shutter. this camera is the pattern for most of the 35 mm slr cameras, and also the japanese and the digital slr cameras today. after the war, praktiflex was the most manufactured 35 mm slr in dresden, especially for the russians as reparations. kw changed to the m42 screw mount invented at zeiss for contax s--later used by pentax, yashica and others to become a near universal mount. in 1949, it was redesigned with longer shutter speeds. the name was changed to praktica. in 1958, kw niedersedlitz became a part of the veb kamera- und kinowerk (old zeiss), later veb pentacon. praktica was typically a consumer/ amateur camera. many developments were added. it was produced until 2000. from 1952 to 1960 the kw factory/veb pentacon also produced the praktina a system slr camera for professionals and advanced amateurs with a bayonet mount and focal shutter, but the productions was closed partly of political reasons. praktica was the camera, which could be sold outside ddr and bring foreign currency to the country. another german manufacturer, edixa was a brand of camera manufactured by wirgin kamerawerk, based in wiesbaden, west germany. this company's product line included 35mm slr cameras such as the edixa reflex, which featured a steinheil 55mm f/1.9 quinon lens, and an isco travegar 50mm f/2.8 lens; the edixamat reflex, the edixa rex ttl, and the edixa electronica. the removable pentaprism could be swapped for a waistlevel viewfinder with a pop up magnifier. the lens mount was the same screw thread as the praktica. the earliest japanese slr for rollfilm was perhaps the baby super flex (or super flex baby), a 127 camera made by umemoto and distributed by kikōdō from 1938. this had a leaf shutter, but two years later came the shinkoflex, a 6×6 camera made by yamashita shōkai, with a focal-plane shutter and interchangeable lenses. however, japanese camera makers concentrated on rangefinder and twin-lens reflex cameras (as well of course as simpler, viewfinder cameras), similar to those of the western makers. the asahi optical company took a different manufacturing path, inspired by the german slrs. its first model, the asahiflex i, existed in prototype form in 1951 and production in 1952, making it the first japanese-built 35mm slr. the asahiflex iib of 1954 was the first japanese slr with an instant-return mirror. previously, the mirror would remain up and the viewfinder black until the user released the shutter button. in 1957, the asahi pentax became the first japanese fixed-pentaprism slr; its success led asahi to eventually rename itself pentax. this was the first slr to use the right-hand single-stroke film advance lever of the leica m3 of 1954 and nikon s2 of 1955. asahi (starting with the asahi pentax) and many other camera makers used the m42 lens mount from the contax s, which came to be called the pentax screw mount. pentax is now part of the ricoh corporation. orion's (later name-changed to miranda's) miranda slr camera was sold in japan from august 1955 with the launch of the miranda t camera. the camera was narrowly the first japanese-made pentaprism 35mm slr. it featured a removable pentaprism for eye-level viewing, that could be removed for use as a waist-level finder. the yashica company introduced its own slr in 1959, the "pentamatic", an advanced, modern 35mm slr camera with a proprietary bayonet-mount. the pentamatic featured an automatic stop-down diaphragm (offered only with the auto yashinon 50mm/1.8 lens), instant-return mirror, a fixed pentaprism, and a mechanical focal-plane shutter with speeds of 1-1/1000 second, along with additional interchangeable lenses. the zunow slr, which went on sale in 1958 (in japan only), was the first 35mm slr camera with an automatic diaphragm, which stopped down to the preselected aperture upon release of the shutter. (although this invention had been anticipated by the 1954 praktina fx-a which featured a semi-automatic diaphragm, which stopped down automatically, but had to be opened manually after the exposure.) the automatic diaphragm feature eliminated one downside to viewing with an slr: the darkening of the viewfinder screen image when the photographer selected a small lens aperture. the zunow optical company also supplied the miranda camera company with lenses for their miranda t slr cameras. a photographer using an slr would view and focus with the lens diaphragm (aperture) fully open; he then had to adjust the aperture just before taking the picture. when the shutter release is pressed the mirror flips up against the viewing screen, the diaphragm closes down (if automatic), the shutter opens and closes, the mirror returns to its 45-degree viewing position (on most or all 35 mm slrs made since 1970) and the automatic diaphragm re-opens to full aperture. most but not all slrs had shutters behind the mirror, next to the film; if the shutter was in or immediately behind the lens it had to be open before the photographer clicked the shutter and then had to close, then open, then close. in the following 30 years the vast majority of slrs standardized the layout of the controls. the film was transported from left to right, so the rewind crank was on the left, followed in order by the pentaprism, shutter speed dial, shutter release and the film advance lever, which in some cameras was ratcheted so that multiple strokes could be used to advance the film. some cameras, such as nikon's nikkormat ft cameras (marketed under the brand-name 'nikormat' in european countries and elsewhere) and some models of olympus om series, deviated from this layout by placing the shutter speed control as a ring around the lens mount. miranda produced early slrs in the 1950s which were initially manufactured with external auto-diaphragms, then added a second mount with internal auto-diaphragm. to list some of miranda's cameras with external diaphragm, there was the miranda sensorex line. the internal auto-diaphragm miranda cameras consisted of the miranda 'd', the popular miranda 'f', the 'fv' and the 'g' model, which had a larger than normal reflex mirror thereby eliminating viewfinder image vignetting when the camera was used with long telephoto lenses. miranda cameras were known in some photographic discussions as 'the poor man's nikon'. one unique brand of cameras was the corfield periflex made by k. g. corfield ltd in england. three models were produced from 1957 all of which used a retractable periscope inserted into the light path for focussing through the single lens. pressing the shutter release moved the spring-loaded periscope out of the film path before the focal-plane shutter operated minolta's first slr, the sr-2, was introduced to the export market in the same year (in fact, at the same philadelphia show as the canon and nikon products) but had been on sale in japan since august 1958. lenses started with the designation 'rokkor'. with the introduction of the srt-101, the lenses added the designation of 'mc' for 'meter-coupled', and then later to 'md' when the minolta xd-11 was introduced with full-program mode. was taken over in 2003 by konica, to form 'konica-minolta'. konica-minolta sold its imaging division to sony in january 2006. nikon's 'f' model, introduced in april 1959 as the world's first system camera (if the commercially unsuccessful praktina is not considered), became enormously successful and was the camera design that demonstrated the superiority of the slr and of the japanese camera manufacturers. this camera was the first slr system that was adopted and used seriously by the general population of professional photographers, especially by those photographers covering the vietnam war, and those news photographers utilizing motor-driven nikon f's with 250-exposure backs to record the various launches of the space capsules in the mercury, gemini and apollo space programs, both in the 1960s. after the introduction of the nikon f, the more expensive rangefinder cameras (those with focal plane shutters) became less attractive. it was a combination of design elements that made the nikon f successful. it featured interchangeable prisms and focusing screens; the camera had a depth-of-field preview button; the mirror had lock-up capability; it featured a large bayonet mount and a large lens release button; a single-stroke ratcheted film advance lever; a titanium-foil focal plane shutter; various types of flash synchronization; a rapid rewind lever; a fully removable back. it was a well-made, extremely durable camera, and adhered closely to the then current, successful design scheme of the nikon rangefinder cameras. instead of the m42 screw mount used by pentax and other camera manufacturers, nikon had introduced the three-claw f-mount bayonet lens mount system, which is still current in a modified form today. the focal plane shutter, unlike other slrs of the period which used a cloth material for the focal plane shutter design (note: with this design, it was possible to burn a hole into the cloth of the shutter during mirror lock-up in bright sunlight) used titanium foil which was rated for 100,000 cycles of releases of the shutter (according to nikon). the f was also a modular camera, in which various assemblies such as the pentaprisms, the focusing screens, the special 35mm roll film 250 exposure film back and the speed magny film backs (two models: one using the polaroid 100 (now 600) type pack films; and another speed magny was designed for 4×5 film accessories, including polaroid's own 4×5 instant film back). these could be fitted and removed, allowing the camera to adapt to almost any particular task. it was the first 35 mm camera offered with a successful motor drive system. unlike most of the other manufacturers involved in 35mm camera production, the nikon f was released with a full range of lenses from 21 mm to 1000 mm focal length. nikon was also among the first to introduce what is commonly known today as 'mirror lenses' – lenses with catadioptric system designs, which allowed the light path to be folded and thus yielded lens designs that were more compact than the standard telephoto designs. subsequent top-of-the-line nikon models carried on the f series, which has reached the f6 (although this camera has a fixed pentaprism). with the introduction and continued improvements being made in digital photography, the nikon f6 is likely to be the last of the flagship nikon f-line film slrs. in may 1959, the canonflex slr was introduced. the camera featured a quick return mirror, an automatic diaphragm and was introduced with an interchangeable black pentaprism housing. it also featured newly developed 'r' series breech lock mount lenses. this slr was superseded by the canonflex rm, a fixed prism slr which featured a built-in selenium cell meter. later came the canonflex r2000, with a top shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second. this model was also superseded by the canonflex rm. in 1962, fl series lenses were introduced along with a new camera body, the canon fx, which had a built-in cds light meter positioned on the front left side of the camera, a design which appeared much like the minolta sr-7. the olympus pen f series was introduced and produced by olympus of japan between 1963 and 1966. the system consisted of the original olympus pen f, later the behind-the-lens metering pen ft, 1966–1972; and the non-metered version of the ft, known as the olympus pen fv, which was manufactured from 1967 to 1970. the design considerations used were unusual. the camera produced a half-frame 35 mm negative; it used a porro prism as a design-replacement for the conventional pentaprism thus producing the 'flat top' appearance; and the view through the viewfinder was of 'portrait' orientation' (unlike standard 35mm slrs which had 'landscape' orientation). these half-frame cameras were also exceptional in that all used a rotary shutter, rather than the traditional horizontally travelling focal-plane shutter commonly used in other slr camera designs. the camera was produced with various interchangeable lenses. the smaller image format made the pen f system one of the smallest slr camera systems ever made. only the pentax auto 110 was smaller, but the pentax system was of much more limited range in terms of lenses and accessories. professional photographers of the 1940s and 1950s time-period preferred to use hand-held meters such as the weston or ge selenium cell light meters, and others which were common during these periods. these hand-held meters did not require any batteries and provided good analog readouts of shutter speeds, apertures, asa (now referred to as 'iso') and ev (exposure value). selenium cells, however, could easily be judged for their light sensitivity by simply looking at the size of the cell's metering surface. a small surface meant it lacked low-light sensitivity. these would prove to be useless for in-camera light metering. built-in light metering with slrs started with clip-on selenium cells meters. one such meter was made for the nikon f which coupled to the shutter speed dial and the aperture ring. while the selenium cell area was big, the add-on made the camera look clumsy and unattractive. in order for built-in light metering to be successful in slr cameras, the use of cadmium sulfide cells (cds) was imperative. some early slrs featured a built-in cds meter usually on the front left side of the top plate, as in the minolta sr-7. other manufacturers, such as miranda and nikon introduced a cds prism which fitted to their interchangeable prism slr cameras. nikon's early photomic finder utilized a cover in front of the cell which was raised and a reading was taken and the photographer would either turn the coupled shutter speed dial and/or the coupled aperture ring to center a galvanometer-based meter needle shown in the viewfinder. the disadvantage of this early photomic prism finder was that the meter had no on/off switch so the meter was constantly 'on', thus draining battery power. a later photomic housing had an on/off switch on the pentaprism. cds light meters proved more sensitive to light and thus metering in available light situations was becoming more prominent and useful. further advances in cds sensitivity, however, were needed as cds cells suffered from a 'memory effect'. that is, if exposed to bright sunlight, the cell would require many minutes to return to normal operation and sensitivity. through-the-lens metering measures the light that comes through the camera lens, thus eliminating much of the potential for error inherent in separate light meters. it is of particular advantage with long telephoto lenses, macro photography and photomicrography. the first slrs with through-the-lens metering were introduced by japanese manufacturers in the early to mid-1960s. the nikon f, was delivered since 1962 with various pentaprism metering heads. the photomic series of prisms, which was initially designed with a direct coupled-metering cds photocell (2 models were produced). the photomic prism head later evolved to include the photomic t with ttl in 1965, a behind-the-lens metering prism head which metered an averaging pattern of the focusing screen. the later center-area reading photomic tn, concentrated 60% of its sensitivity in the central portion of the focusing screen and the remaining 40% for the outlying screen area. the photomic ftn was the last of the photomic finders for the nikon f. in 1972, the nikon f2 was introduced. it had a more streamlined body, a better mirror-locking system, a top shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second and was introduced with its own proprietary, continually improving photomic meter prism heads. this camera was constructed mechanically superior to the f, with some models using titanium for the top and bottom cover plates, and featured slower shutter speeds via the self-timer mechanism. all nikon f and f2 photomic prism heads coupled to the shutter speed dial of the respective camera, and also to the aperture ring via a coupling prong on the diaphragm ring of the lens. this design feature was incorporated into most auto nikkor lenses of that time. nikon technicians can still install a coupling prong on d type auto nikkor lenses so that these newer lenses will fully couple and operate with the older nikon camera bodies. this is not possible with the g type auto nikkor lenses and lenses with the dx designation. pentax was the first manufacturer to show a prototype camera with a behind-the-lens spot metering cds meter system in 1961, the pentax spotmatic. production spotmatics, however, didn't appear until mid-to-late 1964, and these models were featured with an averaging meter system. tokyo optical's topcon re super (beseler topcon super d in the us), however, preceded pentax into production in 1963. topcon cameras used behind-the-lens cds (cadmium sulfide cells) light meters which were integrated into a partially silvered area of the mirror. japanese-made slrs from the mid-1960s (1966) included the minolta srt-101, and later the srt-202 and 303 models, which used minolta's own version of behind-the-lens metering which they referred to as clc (contrast light compensation). other camera manufacturers followed with their own behind-the-lens meter camera designs in order to compete in the marketplace. 35mm slr film cameras such as miranda with their miranda sensomat, unlike most other systems used a behind-the-lens meter system built into the pentaprism itself. other miranda 35mm slr cameras could be adapted to behind-the-lens capability through the use of a separate pentaprism which included coupled or non-coupled built-in cds meters. miranda had a second lens system, consisting of the sensorex models which had an externally coupled auto diaphragm. sensorex camera bodies had built-in meters and these evolved to include ttl and 'ee' capability. one of the most significant designs of the seventies for the 35mm slr camera industry was the introduction of the olympus om-1 in 1973. after experiencing success with their small olympus pen half-frame cameras, particularly with their half-frame slr-based olympus pen-f, pen-ft and pen-fv cameras, olympus set out with its chief designer yoshihisa maitani to later create a compact slr—the m-1—with new compact lenses and a large bayonet mount that could accept almost any slr design optic. shortly after being launched the camera was renamed the om-1 to avoid a trademark conflict with leica. the mechanical, manual om-1 was significantly smaller and lighter than contemporary slrs, but no less functional. the camera was supported by one of the most comprehensive 35 mm slr lens and accessory systems available. maitani decreased the size and weight by totally redesigning the slr from the ground up with unprecedented use of metallurgy, which included repositioning the shutter speed selector to the front of the lens mount, instead of a more conventional position on top of the body. olympus made another significant advance with the om-2 in 1975, featuring aperture-priority automatic exposure with the world's first off-the-film plane available-light metering and off-the-film (which olympus referred to as 'otf') flash metering systems. by metering light in real time off the film plane the om-2 was able to adjust exposure if light levels changed during exposure. by eliminating flash metering via a built-in photocell on a flash unit the otf system was able to meter more accurately, and also significantly simplify multi-flash shooting as it was no longer necessary to calculate and factor-in exposure for multiple light sources. this system was especially valuable in photomacrography (macrophotography) and photomicrography (microphotography). the olympus om system was further enlarged; its zuiko lenses gained a reputation as being among the sharpest lenses in the world, and in the 1980's, olympus added further improvements by replacing the om-1 and om-2 cameras with the om-3, a mechanical manual slr and the om-4 automatic, both of which featured multi-spot metering capabilities. these cameras were further improved into the last of the om slrs, the titanium-bodied om-3ti and om-4ti, introducing at the same time, the world's fastest electronic flash synchronization speeds, at 1/2000 second with their new full-synchro strobe-based flash technology. gradually, other manufacturers incorporated this feature into their own slr camera designs. by 1974, the autoexposure slr brands had aligned into two camps (shutter-priority: canon, konica, miranda, petri, ricoh and topcon; aperture-priority: asahi pentax, chinon, cosina, fujica, minolta, nikkormat and yashica) supposedly based on the superiority of their chosen mode. (in reality, based on the limitations of the electronics of the time and the ease of adapting each brand's older mechanical designs to automation.) these ae slrs were only semi-automatic. with shutter-priority control, the camera would set the lens aperture after the photographer chose a shutter speed to freeze or blur motion. with aperture-priority control, the camera would set the shutter speed after the photographer chose a lens aperture f-stop to control depth of field (focus). perhaps the most significant milestone of the 1970s era of slr computerization was the 1978 release of the canon a-1, the first slr with a "programmed" autoexposure mode. although the minolta xd11 was the first slr to offer both aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes in 1977, it was not until the next year that the a-1 came out with a microprocessor computer powerful enough to offer both of those modes and add the ability to automatically set both the shutter speed and lens aperture in a compromise exposure from light meter input. programmed autoexposure, in many variations, became a standard camera feature by the mid-1980s. this is the order of first introduction of 35 mm slrs, by brand, with a computer programmed autoexposure mode, before the rise of autofocus (see next section): 1978, canon a-1 (plus ae-1 program, 1981 and t50, 1983); 1980, fujica ax-5; 1980, leica r4; 1981, mamiya ze-x; 1982, konica fp-1; 1982, minolta x-700; 1982, nikon fg (plus fa, 1983); 1983, pentax super program (plus program plus, 1984 and a3000, 1985); 1983, chinon cp-5 twin program (also first with two program modes); 1984, ricoh xr-p (tied with canon t70 as first with three program modes); 1985, olympus om-2s program; 1985, contax 159mm; 1985, yashica fx-103. of the brands active in the mid-1970s, cosina, miranda, petri, praktica, rolleiflex, topcon and zenit never introduced programmed 35 mm slrs; usually the inability to make the transition forced the company to quit the 35 mm slr business altogether. note that the asahi pentax auto 110, pentax auto 110 super (pocket instamatic 110 slrs from 1978 and 1982) and pentax 645 (a 645 format slr from 1985) also had programmed autoexposure. autofocus compact cameras had been introduced in the late 1970s. the slr market of the time was crowded, and autofocus seemed an excellent option to attract novice photographers. the first autofocus slr was the 1978 polaroid sx-70 sonar onestep. it used an ultrasonic autofocus system called sonar. the first 35 mm slr (the sx-70 was not 35 mm) with autofocus capability was the pentax me f of 1981 (using a special autofocus lens with an integral motor). in 1981 canon introduced a self-contained autofocus lens, the 35–70 mm af, which contained an optical triangulation system that would focus the lens on the subject in the exact center when a button on the side of the lens was pushed. it would work on any canon fd camera body. nikon's f3af was a highly specialized autofocus camera. it was a variant of the nikon f3 that worked with the full range of nikon manual focus lenses, but also featured two dedicated af lenses (an 80 mm and a 200 mm) that coupled with a special af viewfinder. f3af lenses were only supported by the f3af, the f501, and the f4. nikon's later af cameras and lenses used an entirely different design. these cameras, and other experiments in autofocus from other manufacturers, had limited success. the first true 35mm slr autofocus camera that had a successful design was the minolta dynax/maxxum 7000, introduced in 1985. this slr featured a built-in motor drive and dedicated flash capability. minolta also introduced a completely new bayonet mount lens system, the maxxum af lens system (currently known as the sony a-mount), which was incompatible with its previous md-bayonet mount system, in which the lenses' focusing action was driven from a motor in the camera body. this reduced complexity in the camera body and the lens. canon responded with the t80 and a range of three motor-equipped "ac" lenses, but this was regarded as a stopgap move. nikon introduced the n2020 (known in europe as the nikon f-501), which was their first slr with built-in autofocus motor, and redesigned autofocus auto nikkor lenses. nikon's af lenses, however, remained compatible with older nikon 35mm slr cameras, and older manual focus nikon lenses could be used with varying degrees of compatibility on the new af cameras. in 1987, canon followed minolta in introducing a new lens-mount system, which was incompatible with their previous mount-system: eos, the "electro-optical system". unlike minolta's motor-in-body approach, this design located the motor within the lens. new, more compact motor designs meant that both focus and aperture could be driven electrically without motor bulges in the lens. the canon ef lens mount has no mechanical linkages; all communication between body and lens is electronic. nikon and pentax both chose to extend their existing lens mounts with autofocus capability, retaining the ability to use older manual-focus lenses with an autofocus body, and driving the lens focus mechanism with a motor inside the camera. later, nikon added silent wave motor (swm) mechanisms into its lenses, supporting both focusing schemes until the introductions of the entry-level nikon d40 and nikon d40x in 2006. pentax introduced its supersonic drive motor (sdm) in 2006 with pentax k10d model and two lenses (da*16-50/2.8 al ed [if] sdm and da*50-135/2.8 ed [if] sdm). since then all pentax dslr support both sdm and the motor inside the body. earlier sdm lenses support both systems as well. the first sdm lens that did not support the old focusing system was the da 17-70/4 al [if] sdm (2008). the major 35mm camera manufacturers, canon, minolta, nikon, and pentax were among the few companies to transition successfully to autofocus. other camera manufacturers also introduced functionally successful autofocus slrs but these cameras were not as successful. some manufacturers eventually withdrew from the slr market. nikon still markets its manual-focus slr, the fm10. olympus continued production of its om system camera line until 2002. pentax also continued to produce the manual-focus lx until 2001. sigma and fujifilm also managed to continue manufacturing cameras, although kyocera ended production in 2005 of its (contax) camera systems. the newly formed konica minolta sold its camera business to sony two years later. in the 2000s, film became supplanted by digital photography, which had a huge impact on all camera manufacturers, including the slr market. nikon, for instance, has ceased production of all film slrs except for its flagship 35 mm slr film camera, the f6; and the introductory-level nikon fm10. replacing film with a similar-sized digital sensor is possible, but expensive because larger sensor areas imply a greater probability that a defect will render the sensor non-functional. such "full frame" sensor digital slrs (dslrs) however gained early popularity with professional photographers who could both justify their initial high cost, and retain the use of their investment in expensive 35 mm film lenses. by 2008, full-frame models such the canon eos 1ds and 5d, the nikon d3 and d700, and the sony alpha a850 and alpha a900, designed and priced for professionals, were available. as of 2017, several manufacturers have introduced more affordable 35 mm sensor slrs such as the canon eos 6d, the nikon d610 and the new pentax k-1. these cameras, while still positioned as premium products, all retail for less than 3000$; significantly, all but the k-1 are priced below the manufacturer's top aps-c camera. in addition, the full-frame format is now found in sony's milc cameras and high-end fixed prime lens compacts, as well as leica's m-mount digital rangefinders. slrs designed for amateurs and consumers generally use aps-c sensors, which are significantly smaller than 35 mm film frames and these require either their own specialist lenses or accepting a change in equivalent focal length and field-of-view angle when using lenses designed for the 35 mm format (wide-angle lenses become normal, normal become short telephoto, etc.). during most of the 2000s, panasonic and olympus also marketed slrs built around the now-defunct four thirds system, which was even smaller. while twin-lens reflex cameras have been more numerous in the medium format film category, many medium-format slrs had been (and some still are) produced. hasselblad of sweden has one of the best-known camera systems utilizing 120 and 220 film to produce 6 cm × 6 cm (2" × 2") negatives. they also produce other film backs which produce a 6 cm × 4.5 cm image; a back which uses 70mm roll film, a polaroid back for instant 'proofs' and even a 35mm film back. pentax produces two medium-format slr systems, the pentax 645, which produces a 6 cm × 4.5 cm image; and the pentax 67 series, which system evolved from the late 1960s introduced pentax 6 × 7 camera. these pentax 6 × 7 series cameras resembled huge 35mm slr camera in look and function. in 2010 pentax introduced a digital version of the 645, the 645d, with a kodak-built 44x33 sensor. bronica (which has discontinued camera production), fuji, kyocera (which has also ceased production of their contax cameras), mamiya, rollei, pentacon (former east germany), and kiev (former soviet union) have also produced medium format slr systems for a considerable period of time. mamiya produces what is termed a medium format digital slr. other medium-format slrs, such as those from hasselblad, accept digital backs in place of film rolls or cartridges, effectively converting their film designs to digital format use. in the case of polaroid corporation with its instant film line, the introduction of the polaroid sx-70 was one of the few slrs produced that was a rare case of a folding slr. the vast majority of slrs now sold are digital models, even though their size, form factor, and other design elements remain derived from their 35 mm film predecessors. whether a dedicated digital design such as the olympus four-thirds system, which permits equivalent performance with smaller and lighter cameras, will ultimately supersede the film-derived designs from canon, nikon, pentax, and sony is as yet unclear. additionally slrs are facing a threat from the rapidly expanding mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera segment among all types of camera user. significant slr technology firsts (including optics peculiar to slrs and important slr evolutionary lines now extinct). the sport (camera) is the series production model of a prototype camera called gelveta. the gelveta was designed and built by a. o. gelgar between 1934 and 1935. it is the earliest known 35mm slr camera ever to be built, but fewer than 200 examples were made. it was manufactured by the soviet camera factory gosudarstvennyi optiko-mekhanicheskii zavod, the state optical-mechanical factory in leningrad. gomz for short. the camera name is engraved in cyrillic on the finder housing above the lens: „спорт“. the manufacturer's prism logo in gold on black with the factory initials гомз (gomz) is shown behind a circular magnifying window on the top left camera front. an estimated number of 16,000 cameras were made diarmuid byron o'connor (born 7 december 1964) is a british artist, best known for his sculpture. he attended the john fisher school in purley, with presenter matthew wright. in 1984, he started at art college in bristol. in 1986 he joined "changing places", a community and environmental arts project, as a stone carver – leaving in 1988. in 1991 he studied conceptual fine art at chelsea school of art, london. starting a decorating firm, byron-o'connor worked evenings sculpting with wax at home. he was commissioned to create a statue of peter pan to stand outside great ormond street hospital which was given the rights to the character by creator j. m. barrie. following the unveiling of this work and an exhibition of small bronzes in 2000, he built a studio for private commissions. in 2005 he added a scale statue of tinker bell to the one of peter pan, unveiled by the countess of wessex. byron-o'connor's research into world war i led to him designing sets for bbc2's "the trench"; bbc1's "the somme - from defeat to victory"; and the discovery channel's "mud, blood, and tarmac". whilst working on the set for bbc one's "the crafty tricks of war" he was asked to co present the series with dick strawbridge. he subsequently made "geronimo" with fearne cotton for bbc1. "pillow talk" is a 1973 song by american singer and songwriter sylvia. according to "billboard", the song is about sex. sylvia had originally hoped the song would be recorded by al green, who turned it down as he thought it was too risqué and against his religious beliefs. thereafter, sylvia decided to return as a musical artist and record "pillow talk" herself, finally releasing the song in 1973. "pillow talk" spent two weeks at number one on the best selling soul singles chart and peaked at number three on the "billboard" hot 100 and is an early example of prototypical disco music. the vocals are replete with moaning and heavy breathing, predating donna summer's orgasmic moans on 1975's "love to love you baby". in 1983, an italo disco version of the song was released by lustt, which is later sampled by vaporwave artist saint pepsi in the song "private caller", in 2013. in 2006, r&b singer miki howard recorded a cover version for her album, "pillow talk". joss stone covered the song on her 2012 album "the soul sessions vol. 2". the song was nominated for best female r&b vocal performance at the 1974 grammy awards, losing to "master of your eyes (the deepness of your eyes)" by aretha franklin. arcata high school is the primary public high school in arcata, serving students in grades 9 through 12. it is located in arcata, california and is part of the northern humboldt union high school district. arcata high school was the first high school in humboldt county, established in the late 19th century. in august 1894, an election was held involving the elementary school districts of janes, bayside, and jacoby. the vote resulted in favor of founding a new high school. it was determined that the high school should be placed in arcata, and named arcata union high school. in 1903, in order to support the growth of the high school, a 6,000 dollar bond passed. this bond was used to construct the first school building on 16th and g streets, in arcata. in 1912 enrollment reached 100 students. new buildings opened in 1920, 1924, and 1943. in 1944, enrollment had reached 500 students and 21 teachers were employed. in 1947, construction began on a new classroom wing and gymnasium. in 1952, the schools metal shop building, and science wing, began construction. in 1956, construction began on the wood shop building. in 1994, arcata high school had an enrollment of 940 students, 53 certified staff, and 24 classified support staff. the total student population as of 2012 - 2013 was 826, with 49% male and 51% female. as of 2010, the school had an ethnic makeup of 93.6% caucasian, 2.5% latino, 13.9% native american, 3.0% asian-american, 1.6% african-american, 1.0% pacific islander, and 0.8% filipino. 29% of the students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, 1.0% are english learners, and 13.5% have disabilities. arcata high school has an advanced placement program for those who wish to obtain college credit and take more advanced classes. students at arcata high school are also given the opportunity to earn college credit by taking classes at the nearby humboldt state university. the high school contains on campus both a charter school, six rivers charter high school, and a continuation school, pacific coast high. all the teachers at arcata high school have a full teaching credential. 59% of students pass the english-language portion of the california high school exit exam and 56% pass the mathematics section. , the school had an api rating of 815. arcata high school has a number of special programs through the arcata arts institute, which helps students with a particular interest in the arts (music, dance, drama, etc.) to pursue their interests. in addition to the arcata arts institute, arcata high school has a concert choir, madrigal choir, jazz band, and the armack orchestra. as part of the northern humboldt union high school district, arcata high school is closely affiliated with the only other public high school in the district, mckinleyville high school. groups such as the orchestra and the jazz band, as well as some drama productions, combine students from both schools. arcata high school is part of the humboldt-del norte league of the cif north coast section (ncs). the school fields a varsity team for every sport ncs offers. arcata high school has various student-managed clubs, which are supervised by the faculty. these include a wide variety of foreign language clubs including french, german, and spanish. the school has a thriving maker culture, shown by the maker club, girls who code, and entrepreneurs' club. many clubs are dedicated to social change such as the gay-straight alliance, interact club, the girl effect, green club, and peace on earth movement. arcata high school also has clubs relating to art, such as art club and drama club. arcata high school publishes its own newspaper written by the pepper box club. darwin's radio is a 1999 science fiction novel by greg bear. it won the nebula award in 2000 for best novel and the 2000 endeavour award. it was also nominated for the hugo award, locus and campbell awards the same year. the novel's original tagline was "the next great war will be inside us." it was followed by a sequel, "darwin's children", in 2003. in the novel, a new form of endogenous retrovirus has emerged, sheva. it controls human evolution by rapidly evolving the next generation while it is in the womb, leading to speciation. the novel follows several characters as the "plague" is discovered as well as the panicked reaction of the public and the us government to the disease. built into the human genome are non-coding sequences of dna called introns. certain portions of those "non-sense" sequences, remnants of prehistoric retroviruses, have been activated and are translating numerous lpcs (large protein complexes). the activation of sheva and its consequential sudden speciation was postulated to be controlled by a complex genetic network that perceives a need for modification or to be a human adaptive response to overcrowding. the disease, or rather, gene activation, is passed on laterally from male to female as per an std. if impregnated, a woman in her first trimester who has contracted sheva will miscarry a deformed female fetus made of little more than two ovaries. this "first stage fetus" leaves behind a fertilized egg with 52 chromosomes, rather than the typical 46 characteristic of "homo sapiens sapiens". during the third trimester of the second stage pregnancy, both parents go into a pre-speciation puberty to prepare them for the needs of their novel child. facial pigmentation changes underneath the old skin which begins sloughing off like a mask. vocal organs and olfactory glands alter and sensitize respectively, to adapt for a new form of communication. for over a year after the first sheva outbreak in the united states, no second stage fetus was recorded to have been born alive. the new human species was highly sensitive to all varieties of herpes and could not be viably born to a mother who had ever been infected with any of the virus' many forms, including epstein-barr and the chickenpox, thus eliminating 95% of the female population. anesthetics and pitocin administered during childbirth were also lethal. so while many women would contract activated sheva that few would manage to give birth, making the transition from "homo sapiens sapiens" to the new human species very gradual. the international response to the threat of sheva was to form a special task force that would work alongside the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) to find a vaccine. because the "disease", called "herod's flu", was already in the genome of every person on earth, the only two options were to inhibit the activation of the sheva gene by discovering the signal it used or to abort the second-stage fetus. due to the rapid mutation rate of the missing-link signal molecule, preventing the activation of the gene was infeasible. the second option, abortion, was already a controversial issue and the proposal of handing out free ru 486 was met with social upheaval, adding to the already-chaotic social scene. the general public believed that the government was not placing due importance on the death of countless fetuses or that it already had a cure and refused to release it. in response, government research facilities were forced to test prospective treatments prematurely and could not pursue explanations for sheva outside of the "disease" category because of the potential reactions from the masses. it was not until viable second-stage fetuses were born that the idea of sheva being a part of evolution rather than a disease began to grow from a few isolated sources. the brink's job is a 1978 comedy crime drama film directed by william friedkin and starring peter falk, peter boyle, allen garfield, warren oates, gena rowlands, and paul sorvino. it is based on the brink's robbery of 1950 in boston, where almost 3 million dollars was stolen. the film was nominated for an oscar for best art direction (dean tavoularis, angelo p. graham, bruce kay and george r. nelson). small-time boston crook tony pino (peter falk) tries to make a name for himself. he and his five associates pull off a robbery whenever they can. tony and his gang easily rob over $100,000 in cash from a brink's armored car, after which tony disguises himself as a spark plug salesman to get an inside look at brink's large and so-called "impregnable fortress" headquarters in the city's north end, a company renowned for unbreachable security as a private "bank" throughout the east coast. once inside, tony realizes that brink's is anything but a fortress and that employees treat the money "like garbage." still wary of brink's public image, tony breaks in one night after casing the building. he finds that only two doors in the building are locked, and one is easily bypassed by leaping a gate. the only thing locked in the building is the vault. tony also realizes that despite what brink's claims, there is only a 10-cent alarm in the vault room itself, almost impossible to set off. it appears that brink's had relied so much on its reputation that it had not even bothered locking the doors. pino begins to plan a robbery, using the rooftop of a neighboring building as a watch tower. tony and his dim brother-in-law vinnie (allen garfield) put together a motley gang of thieves. they include the debonair jazz maffie (paul sorvino) and a slightly deranged iwo jima veteran, specs o'keefe (warren oates), who proposes to blow open the brink's safe with a bazooka. over the crew's objections, pino also invites the arrogant fence joe mcginnis (peter boyle) to be in on the job. the robbers on the night of jan. 17th, 1950 make off with more than a million dollars in cash, along with another million-plus in securities and checks. brink's, a company that prides itself in the safekeeping of money, is nationally embarrassed by what the press is calling "the crime of the century." even fbi director j. edgar hoover (sheldon leonard) takes a personal interest in finding the culprits, even so much as creating a makeshift fbi office in boston. law enforcement agents begin rounding up suspects. they come to the home of tony and mary pino, as they often do for crimes in the area. mary (gena rowlands) is so familiar with them by now, she makes the cops dinner. tony is brought in for questioning, but reacts with indignation at being accused. the crooks begin to crack, however. mcginnis infuriates them by destroying a large sum of the hold-up money, claiming the bills could be traced. he also hangs onto the rest, defying threats by pino and his cohorts to hand over their shares. specs and another of the gang, stanley gusciora, go on the road to meet his "sugar doughnut" in pittsburgh. they are picked up by pennsylvania state police on a burglary charge en route at bradford, pennsylvania and are each handed a long jail sentence, gusciora at the western penitentiary-pittsburgh. specs grows more and more disturbed behind bars, demanding that money from his cut be sent to his ill sister. in interrogation, specs and stanley are pressured more each day to reveal whatever they might know about the brink's job. specs ultimately confesses. one by one, the rest of the gang is apprehended, mainly by the boston police department. tony is on his way to jail in boston and so is vinnie, but they unexpectedly find themselves hailed as heroes by people on the street for having pulled off one of the great crimes of all time. one teen remarks to a clearly pleased pino, "you're the greatest thief who ever lived! nobody will ever do what you did, tony!" the film was developed by director john frankenheimer who then lost interest in it. dino de laurentiis then offered the project to william friedkin who was looking for something to do after a proposed adaptation of "born on the fourth of july" with al pacino had been unable to secure finance. a script had been written but friedkin insisted on rewriting it with wally green, who had just written "sorcerer" for the director. during the production, a number of conflicts and concerns with teamsters union members occurred, ultimately resulting in four indictments and two convictions of teamsters for attempts to solicit non-existent jobs. the movie was filmed primarily on location in boston. locations included: reviewing the film in the "chicago sun-times", roger ebert wrote, "the movie was directed by william friedkin, best known for the violence and shock of "the exorcist", "the french connection", and "sorcerer". what he exhibits here, though, is a light touch, an ability to orchestrate rich human humor with a bunch of characters who look like they were born to stand in a police lineup. falk, playing pino, has never been better in a movie. he gives the guy a nice, offbeat edge; pino is a natural hustler looking for the angle in everything. [...] friedkin has great control of tone. he gives us characters who are comic and yet seem realistic enough that we share their feelings, and he gives us a movie that's funny and yet functions smoothly as a thriller. this sort of craft is sometimes hard to appreciate - "the brink's job" is so well put together that it doesn't draw attention to its direction. [...] and the acting is great to savor. the characters are richly detailed, complicated, given dialog that's written with almost musical cadences." the movie was nominated for the best art direction academy award (dean tavoularis, angelo p. graham, george r. nelson, and bruce kay). friedkin later said the film "has some nice moments, despite thinly drawn characters, but it left no footprint. there's little intensity or suspense and the humour is an acquired taste. the film doesn't shout, it doesn't sing - it barely whispers". he considers "the brink's job" to be one of his movies that ended up the "farthest" from what he had envisioned. in august 1978, 15 unedited reels of the film were stolen at gunpoint. while the robbers demanded a $1 million ransom, the money was never paid because the robbers, showing a distinct lack of filmmaking knowledge, hijacked outtakes and dailies. positive prints of negatives were being held by technicolor in new york city, so the material was replaced with no significant delay. the robbers, however, made a ransom call, which triggered an investigation by the fbi. during the ransom call, friedkin told the robbers to "get a projector and enjoy the film; it was all theirs." the xavier institute is a fictional school in the x-men universe. this list documents the fictional staff, students and alumni of the institute. this list does not include the students at the massachusetts academy or the wards of x-factor. the original new mutants were the second group of students trained by charles xavier. magneto took over as headmaster in xavier's absence. the following students have been clearly depicted as attending the xavier institute since it re-opened, but their squad affiliation has not been revealed. some of these students may be a part of the lower school or members of squads that have not been fully revealed, such as the beast's "exemplars" or iceman's "excelsiors". some are mutants, but not students, that have taken refuge at xavier's. harold david miner (born may 5, 1971) is an american former professional basketball player and two-time champion of the national basketball association (nba) slam dunk contest. he attended college at the university of southern california (usc) and was a star player on that school's men's basketball team. he left school in 1992 to pursue his professional career, and played in the nba for the miami heat and cleveland cavaliers. despite comparisons to michael jordan, miner's nba career only lasted four years. a native of inglewood, california, miner first came to prominence as a high school player. a stand-out on his team at inglewood high school, miner's spectacular dunking ability resulted in his being given the nickname "baby jordan," in reference to fellow nba high flyer michael jordan. in his junior year of high school he averaged 27 points per game, and in his senior year he averaged 28. he also recorded 48 points and 17 rebounds in one game when playing at inglewood. miner attended usc from 1989 until 1992. as a junior in what would be his final season with the team, miner's play earned him "sports illustrated" magazine's selection as the college basketball player of the year over such notable candidates as christian laettner, shaquille o'neal, and alonzo mourning. miner led the usc trojans men's basketball team to the second seed of the midwest region in the 1992 ncaa division i men's basketball tournament. the trojans were upset in the second round, however,falling on one of the most famous baskets in the tournament's history—a three-pointer at the buzzer by james forrest of georgia tech. miner left college after the 1991–92 season and declared himself eligible for the 1992 nba draft. he was selected by the miami heat with the 12th overall pick. miner won the nba's slam dunk contest twice, in 1993 and 1995. in the 1995 contest, miner defeated isaiah rider, who had won the previous year, solidifying miner as one of the game's best dunkers. however, his playing career proved unremarkable and failed to live up to the high expectations with which it began. despite his dunking prowess, miner did not get much playing time from heat coaches, kevin loughery and alvin gentry. "i always felt the worst thing to happen to harold was the "baby jordan" tag." – george raveling, miner's head coach at usc after the 1994–95 season, miner was traded to the cleveland cavaliers. he averaged only 3.2 points and 7.2 minutes per game for the cavaliers. on october 18, 1995, he was traded to the toronto raptors for victor alexander, but that trade was rescinded four days later when alexander failed his physical. miner played five scoreless minutes in his last nba game, a 26-point loss to the chicago bulls on february 20, 1996. cleveland waived miner, having played him in only 19 games that season. he tried out for the toronto raptors the following year but was cut during the preseason. rather than continue to pursue a career in professional basketball, either in the nba or overseas, miner retired from the sport. he later said that his decision was prompted by the many knee injuries he suffered during his career. as of 2011, miner had settled in las vegas, nevada, and was married with two children. he said that he had invested wisely the money he had earned in salary and endorsements during his playing career, allowing him to remain a stay-at-home father, rather than needing to seek employment. over most of the time since his retirement from basketball, he had been disinclined to give interviews or make public appearances, instead remaining private and largely inaccessible. in 2010, however, he agreed to an interview in which he indicated a desire to begin reconnecting with the university of southern california and with some of his acquaintances from his playing days. in 2011, miner appeared at the pacific-10 men's basketball tournament, to be inducted into that conference's basketball hall of honor, and indicated he planned to attend the retirement of his jersey by usc later that year. he would later attend the retirement of his jersey by usc during half time of the game against ucla on january 15, 2012. miner tied his previous seclusion largely to his disappointment with his professional career. explaining his public reemergence, he said, "i guess i feel like i'm over it now. i've kind of purged my system and come to a point of accepting what happened with my career: that i wasn't able to live up to my own personal expectations." in an editorial that ran in the "british medical journal", martin mckee, a professor of public health at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine, criticized the weinberg group for writing a white paper on alcohol regulation for the european alcohol industry. "its approach is remarkably similar to the tobacco industry reports, contending that there is insufficient evidence that alcohol causes as much harm as is alleged or that preventive measures would be effective." the weinberg group has also worked closely with the tobacco industry. myron weinberg, and the company bearing his name, have been acting as tobacco industry consultants, in particular for philip morris. myron weinberg is listed in a philip morris grants and projects budget as being paid $50,000 u.s.d. in 1995 alone for "consulting related to ets projects." the weinberg group also assisted the tobacco industry's law firm, covington & burling, with implementing a multinational environmental tobacco smoke scientific witness program (also known as the "whitecoat project.") a covington & burling internal document dated 1988 claims the purpose of the meeting was "to discuss ets as a public affair as well as a scientific issue – and to begin discussion of the role that consulting scientists can play in promoting an objective understanding of the issue among members of the scientific community, government officials and members of the public." building steps is a private non-profit organization, founded in 1995 by matthew weinberg, ceo of the weinberg group, that was developed to expose bright, underserved students to professions that rely on science and technology and to help them excel in these fields where minorities are overwhelmingly underrepresented. headquartered in baltimore, maryland since 1999, 90% of the students graduating from this two-year, academic and professional development program matriculate to college. nicholas barr frsa is a british economist, currently serving as professor of public economics at the london school of economics (lse). he received his ph.d. in economics as a fulbright scholar from the university of california, berkeley and his msc in economics from lse. according to his lse biography, he has worked for the world bank, "from 1990 to 1992 working on the design of income transfers and health finance in central and eastern europe and russia, and in 1995-96 as a principal author of the world bank's world development report 1996: from plan to market." he also served as an advisor to the british, chinese and south african governments. since 1987, he has published four editions of his series, "economics of the welfare state", the last published in 2012. of which was published in 2004 . according to amazon.com, he has published the following books: during the bosnian war, there was an ethnic cleansing campaign committed by the bosnian serb political and military leadership, mostly against bosniak and croat civilians in the prijedor region of bosnia and herzegovina in 1992 and 1993. the composition of non-serbs was drastically reduced: out of a population of 50,000 bosniaks and 6,000 croats, only some 6,000 bosniaks and 3,000 croats remained in the municipality by the end of the war. after the srebrenica massacre, prijedor is the area with the second highest rate of civilian killings committed during the bosnian war. according to the sarajevo-based research and documentation center (idc), 4,868 people were killed or went missing in the prijedor municipality during the war. among them were 3,515 bosniak civilians, 186 croat civilians and 78 serb civilians. , 96 mass graves have been located and around 2,100 victims have been identified, largely by dna analysis. the crimes committed in prijedor have been subjected to 13 trials before the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia. soldiers and police in the serb sds, crisis staff's, including milomir stakić, milan kovačević, radoslav brđanin, ranging to the highest leaders including general ratko mladić, bosnian serb president radovan karadžić, and serbian president slobodan milošević have been charged with genocide, persecutions, deportation, extermination, murder, forced transfers, and unlawful confinement, torture as crimes against humanity (widespread, systematic attacks against a civilian population) and other crimes, have been alleged to have occurred in prijedor. the icty has characterized the prijedor events of 1992 as having met the "actus reus" (guilty act) of genocide through killing members of the group and causing serious bodily and mental harm to members of the group. however, the requirement of the specific intent to physically destroy was not established beyond reasonable doubt. however the events of 1992 in prijedor were part of the larger joint criminal enterprise to forcibly remove bosnian muslims and croats from large territories of bosnia. in 2014, investigators were led by two bosnian serb civilians who worked in and around the camps to a tomašica mass grave mining complex, unearthing the largest mass grave in bosnia, and the discovery of over 1,000 bodies in both the tomašica and jakarina rose mass grave sites. following slovenia’s and croatia’s declarations of independence in june 1991, the situation in the prijedor municipality rapidly deteriorated. during the war in croatia, the tension increased between the serbs and the communities of bosniaks and croats. bosniaks and croats began to leave the municipality because of a growing sense of insecurity and fear caused by intensifying serb propaganda. the municipal newspaper kozarski vjesnik started publishing allegations against the non-serbs. the serb media propagandised the idea that the serbs had to arm themselves. terms like ustasha (ustaše), mujahideen (mudžahedini) and green berets (zelene beretke) were used widely in the press as synonyms for the non-serb population. radio prijedor disseminated propaganda insulting croats and bosnian muslims. as one result of the takeover of the transmitter station on mount kozara in august 1991 by the serbian paramilitary unit the wolves of vučjak, tv sarajevo was cut off. it was replaced by broadcasts from belgrade and banja luka with interviews of radical serb politicians and renditions of serb nationalist songs, which would previously have been banned. on 7 january 1992, the serb members of the prijedor municipal assembly and the presidents of the local municipal boards of the serbian democratic party proclaimed the assembly of the serbian people of the municipality of prijedor and implemented secret instructions that were issued earlier on 19 december 1991. the ""organisation and activity of organs of the serbian people in bosnia and herzegovina in extraordinary circumstances"" provided a plan for the sds take-over of municipalities in bih, it also included plans for the creation of crisis staffs. milomir stakić, later convicted by icty of mass crimes against humanity against bosniak and croat civilians, was elected president of this assembly. ten days later, on 17 january 1992, the assembly endorsed joining the serbian territories of the municipality of prijedor to the autonomous region of bosnian krajina in order to implement creation of a separate serbian state on ethnic serbian territories. on 23 april 1992, the serbian democratic party decided "inter alia" that all serb units immediately start working on the takeover of the municipality in co-ordination with the yugoslav people's army and units of the future army of the republika srpska). by the end of april 1992, a number of clandestine serb police stations were created in the municipality and more than 1,500 armed serbs were ready to take part in the takeover. a declaration on the takeover prepared by the serb politicians from the serbian democratic party was read out on radio prijedor the day after the takeover and was repeated throughout the day. when planning the anticipated takeover, it was decided that the 400 serb policemen who would be involved in the takeover would be sufficient for the task. the objective of the takeover was to take over the functions of the president of the municipality, the vice-president of the municipality, the director of the post office, the chief of the police etc. in the night of the 29/30 april 1992, the takeover of power took place. employees of the public security station and reserve police gathered in cirkin polje, part of the town of prijedor. only serbs were present and some of them were wearing military uniforms. the people there were given the task of taking over power in the municipality and were broadly divided into five groups. each group of about twenty had a leader and each was ordered to gain control of certain buildings. one group was responsible for the assembly building, one for the main police building, one for the courts, one for the bank and the last for the post-office. the icty concluded that the takeover by the serb politicians was an illegal coup d'état, which was planned and coordinated a long time in advance with the ultimate aim of creating a pure serbian municipality. these plans were never hidden and they were implemented in a coordinated action by the serb police, army and politicians. one of the leading figures was milomir stakić, who came to play the dominant role in the political life of the municipality. after the takeover, civilian life was transformed in a myriad of ways. tension and fear increased significantly among the non-serb population in prijedor municipality. there was a marked increase in the military presence of serb formations in the town of prijedor. armed soldiers were placed on top of all the high rise buildings in prijedor town and the serb police established checkpoints throughout the town of prijedor. in the stakić case, the icty concluded that many people were killed during the attacks by the serb army on predominantly bosnian muslim villages and towns throughout the prijedor municipality and several of bosnian muslims took place and that a comprehensive pattern of atrocities against bosnian muslims in prijedor municipality in 1992 had been proved beyond reasonable doubt. after the takeover, radio prijedor propagated serb nationalist ideas characterising prominent non-serbs as criminals and extremists, who should be punished for their behaviour. one example of such propaganda was the derogatory language used for referring to non-serbs such as mujahideen, ustaše or green berets. both the print and broadcast media also spread what can be only considered as blatant lies according to the icty conclusion about non-serb doctors: dr. mirsad mujadžić of the bosniak ethnic group was accused of injecting drugs into serb women making them incapable of giving birth to male children and dr. željko sikora, a croat, referred to as the "monster doctor", was accused of making serb women abort if they were pregnant with male children and of castrating the male babies of serbian parents. moreover, in a "kozarski vjesnik" article dated 10 june 1992, dr. osman mahmuljin was accused of deliberately having provided incorrect medical care to his serb colleague dr. živko dukić, who had a heart attack. dr. dukić’s life was saved only because dr. radojka elenkov discontinued the therapy allegedly initiated by dr. mahmuljin. the appeals were broadcast aimed at the serbs to lynch the non-serbs. moreover, forged biographies of prominent non-serbs, including prof. muhamed ćehajić, mr. crnalić, dr. eso sadiković and dr. osman mahmuljin, were broadcast. according to icty conclusion in stakić verdict mile mutić, the director of kozarski vjesnik and the journalist rade mutić regularly attended meetings of serb politicians (local authorities) in order to get informed about next steps of spreading propaganda. in the weeks following the takeover, the serb authorities in prijedor worked to strengthen their position militarily in accordance with decisions adopted on the highest levels. on may 12, 1992, the self-appointed "assembly of the serbian people" established the serbian army under ratko mladić’s command by bringing together former jna (later army of serbia and montenegro and army of republika srpska) units. major radmilo željaja issued an ultimatum calling for all bosniak citizens to hand over their weapons to the serbian army and to declare their loyalty to the serbian republic and to respond to the mobilisation call-ups. the ultimatum issued also contained a threat that any resistance would be punished. for the most part, the civilian population complied with these requests turning in their hunting rifles and pistols as well as their permits and in the belief that if they handed in their weapons they would be safe. house searches performed by soldiers of the homes of the non-serb population were common and any weapons found were confiscated. many non-serbs were dismissed from their jobs in the period after the takeover. the general tendency is reflected in a decision of the serb regional authorities i.e. crisis staff of the autonomous region of krajina (ark) dated 22 june 1992, which provides that all socially-owned enterprises, joint-stock companies, state institutions, public utilities, ministries of the interior, and the army of the serbian republic may only be held by personnel of serbian nationality. the announcements broadcast on the radio, from 31 may 1992 onward, also obliged non-serbs to hang white bed sheets outside their homes and wear white armbands, as a demonstration of their loyalty to the serbian authorities. charles mcleod, who was with the ecmm and visited prijedor municipality in the last days of august 1992, testified that while visiting a mixed serb/bosnian muslim village he saw that the bosniak (bosnian muslim) houses were identified by a white flag on the roof. this is corroborated by the testimony of barnabas mayhew (ecmm), who testified that the bosnian muslim houses were marked with white flags in order to distinguish them from the serb houses. hambarine was predominantly bosniak village in prijedor municipality. on 22 may 1992, serb controlled yugoslav people's army (jna) issued an ultimatum to the residents of hambarine. the residents were to surrender several individuals alleged involved in attack on jna. the ultimatum was not complied with and around noon the next day the shelling of hambarine began. the shelling came from three directions from the north-west in the karane area, from the area of urije and from the area of topic hill. there were two or three serb tanks and approximately a thousand soldiers during the attack. the bombardment of hambarine continued until about 15:00. the bosniak residents tried to defend the village, but they were forced to flee to other villages or to the kurevo woods to escape the shelling. there were approximately 400 refugees, mostly women, children and elderly people, who fled hambarine as a result of the attack that saw the serb soldiers kill, rape and torch houses. a military operation was consequently concentrated on the kurevo forest. the area of kozarac, surrounding kozarac town, comprises several villages, including kamičani, kozaruša, susici, brđani, babići. after the serb takeover of prijedor, the population of kozarac tried to control the perimeter of their town and organized patrols. after the attack on hambarine, another ultimatum was issued for the town of kozarac. radmilo željaja delivered the ultimatum on radio prijedor, threatening to raze kozarac to the ground if residents failed to comply. following the ultimatum, negotiations took place between the bosniak and the serb sides which were unsuccessful. stojan župljanin, later accused of war crimes by icty and one of the most wanted fugitive besides radovan karadžić and ratko mladić, who led the serb delegation, said that, unless his conditions were met, the army would take kozarac by force. as of may 21, 1992, the serb inhabitants of kozarac started to leave the town. kozarac was subsequently surrounded and the phone lines were disconnected. on the night of 22 and 23 may 1992, detonations could be heard in the direction of prijedor and fires could be seen in the area of hambarine. the attack started on 25 may 1992 and ended on 27 may at 13:00 hrs. a military convoy comprising two columns approached kozarac, and its soldiers opened fire on the houses and checkpoints and, at the same time, shells were fired from the hills. the shooting was aimed at people fleeing from the area. the shelling was intense and unrelenting. over 5,000 serb soldiers and combatants participated in the attack. serb forces included the 343rd motorised brigade (an enlarged motorized battalion) supported by two 105 mm howitzer batteries and one m-84 tank squadron. after the shelling, serb forces shot people in their homes and that those who surrendered were taken to a soccer stadium of kozarac where some men were randomly shot. after the people had been killed or fled their homes, the soldiers set fire to the houses. there was extensive destruction of property in kozarac as a result of the attack. the houses had been not only destroyed, but leveled to the ground using heavy machinery. the medical centre in kozarac was damaged during the attack. the attack continued until may 26, 1992 when it was agreed that the people should leave the territory of kozarac. a large number of people in kozarac surrendered that day. the serb authorities explained that all those who wished to surrender should form a convoy and that a ceasefire would be in effect during this period. it was later learned that when the convoy, which left that day, reached the banja luka-prijedor road the women and men were separated. the women were taken to trnopolje and the men to omarska and keraterm concentration camps, which shocked the world when bbc reporters discovered them. a large number of women and children arrived in prijedor on the day of the attack. the prijedor intervention platoon, led by dado mrđa, zoran babić and others intervened and began to mistreat the women and children. some time later in that day, buses arrived, and they ordered women and children to board these buses for trnopolje camp. no wounded had been allowed out of kozarac. for example, according to dr. merdžanić's testimony before icty he had not been given permission to arrange the evacuation of two injured children, one of whom had her legs completely shattered, and he had instead been told that all the "dirty muslims" (in serbian language: balija) should die there, as they would be killed in any event. in the attack at least 100 people were killed, and 1,500 deported to concentration camps. a report sent by colonel dragan marčetić to the serb army main staff dated may 27, 1992 states that the wider area of kozarac village, i.e. the area of the village of kozaruša, trnopolje, donji jakupovići, gornji jakupovići, benkovac, rakovic has been entirely freed of bosniaks (80–100 bosniaks were killed, about 1,500 captured and around 100–200 persons were at large on mt. kozara). the report of the commission of experts in bosnia v. serbia genocide case before the international court of justice states that the attack on kozarac lasted three days and caused many villagers to flee to the forest while the soldiers were shooting at ‘every moving thing’. survivors calculated that at least 2,000 villagers were killed in that period. the villagers’ defence fell on may 26. serbs then reportedly announced that the villagers had 10 minutes to reach the town’s soccer stadium. however, many people were shot in their homes before given a chance to leave. one witness reported that several thousand people tried to surrender by carrying white flags, but three serb tanks opened fire on them, killing many. between the 24 and 25 july 1992, bosnian serb forces attacked the predominantly croat village of , near prijedor. according to the 1991 consensus, briševo had a population of 340 people, by ethnicity, 305 croats, 16 yugoslavs, 7 serbs, 1 bosniak and 11 others. violence against ethnic bosniaks and croats in towns and villages around prijedor had been increasing since may 1992, on the 30 may 1992, serbian-controlled radio-prijedor proclaimed the creation of a "crisis staff of the serb municipality of prijedor", that serb forces had already began an "armed attack on the city of prijedor" and that serbs were fighting against ustashe-muslim forces", which further contributed to the atmosphere of hostility between the ethnic groups. on 31 may 1992, serb authorities issued an ultimatum to the inhabitants of briševo to hand over all weapons, promising the local population would not be harmed if they did, although local croat leaders complied, serb forces entered the village that day and arrested prominent croats and those suspected of supporting the hdz, these individuals were then taken to internment camps near sanski most. on 24 july 1992, serb forces of the 5th kozara brigade from prijedor and the 6th krajina brigade from sanski most shelled the village at 9:00 am and then moved into the village by foot. there serb forces began a two-day massacre, burning homes and property and murdering croat civilians wherever they were found, many croatian women were raped before being killed and some victims were even forced to dig their own graves before being killed. serb forces murdered some 67 croat civilians, destroyed 65 family homes including the village catholic church, those who were not killed were driven out. during the icty trials, milomir stakić was found guilty of persecution, deportation and extermination against non-serbs in the prijedor region, which included the killings in briševo. during and after kozarac, hambarine and briševo , serb authorities set up concentration camps and determined who should be responsible for the running of those camps. keraterm factory was set up as a camp on or around 23/24 may 1992. there were four rooms in the camp, room 2 being the largest and room 3 the smallest. by late june 1992, there were about 1,200 people in the camp. every day people were brought in or taken away from the camp. the numbers increased considerably by late july. the detainees were mostly bosnian muslims and to a lesser extent croats. the detainees slept on wooden pallets used for the transport of goods or on bare concrete in a big storage room. the conditions were cramped and people often had to sleep on top of each other. in june 1992, room 1 held 320 people and the number continued to grow. the detainees were given one meal a day, made up of two small slices of bread and some sort of stew. the rations were insufficient for the detainees. the omarska mines complex was located about 20 km from the town of prijedor. the first detainees were taken to the camp sometime in late may 1992 (between 26 and 30 may). the camp buildings were almost completely full and some of the detainees had to be held on the area between the two main buildings. that area was lit up by specially installed spot-lights after the detainees arrived. female detainees were held separately in the administrative building. according to the serb authorities documents from prijedor, there were a total of 3,334 persons held in the camp from 27 may to 16 august 1992. 3,197 of them were bosniaks (i.e. bosnian muslims), 125 were croats. with the arrival of the first detainees, permanent guard posts were established around the camp, and anti-personnel landmines were set up around the camp. the conditions in the camp were horrible. in the building known as the "white house", the rooms were crowded with 45 people in a room no larger than 20 square meters. the faces of the detainees were distorted and bloodstained and the walls were covered with blood. from the beginning, the detainees were beaten, with fists, rifle butts and wooden and metal sticks. the guards mostly hit the heart and kidneys, when they had decided to beat someone to death. in the "garage", between 150-160 people were "packed like sardines" and the heat was unbearable. for the first few days, the detainees were not allowed out and were given only a jerry can of water and some bread. men would suffocate during the night and their bodies would be taken out the following morning. the room behind the restaurant was known as "mujo’s room". the dimensions of this room were about 12 by 15 metres and the average number of people detained there was 500, most of whom were bosniaks. the women in the camp slept in the interrogations rooms, which they would have to clean each day as the rooms were covered in blood and pieces of skin and hair. in the camp one could hear the moaning and wailing of people who were being beaten up. the detainees at omarska had one meal a day. the food was usually spoiled and the process of getting the food, eating and returning the plate usually lasted around three minutes. meals were often accompanied by beatings. the toilets were blocked and there was human waste everywhere. ed vulliamy, a british journalist, testified that when he visited the camp, the detainees were in a very poor physical condition. he witnessed them eating a bowl of soup and some bread and said that he had the impression they had not eaten in a long time. they appeared to be terrified. the detainees drank water from a river that was polluted with industrial waste and many suffered from constipation or dysentery. no criminal report was ever filed against persons detained in the omarska camp, nor were the detainees apprised of any concrete charges against them. apparently, there was no objective reason justifying these people’s detention. the omarska camp was closed immediately after a visit by foreign journalists in early august.on 6 or 7 august 1992, the detainees at omarska were divided into groups and transported in buses to different destinations. about 1,500 people were transported on 20 buses. the trnoplje camp was set up in the village of trnoplje on 24 may 1992. the camp was guarded on all sides by the serb army. there were machine-gun nests and well-armed posts pointing their guns towards the camp. there were several thousand people detained in the camp, the vast majority of whom were bosnian muslim and some of them were croats. according to approximation, on 7 august 1992 there were around 5,000 people detained there. women and children were detained at the camp as well as men of military age. the camp population had a high turnover with many people staying for less than a week in the camp before joining one of the many convoys to another destination or concentration camps. the quantity of food available was insufficient and people often went hungry. moreover, the water supply was insufficient and the toilet facilities inadequate. the majority of the detainees slept in the open air. the serb soldiers used baseball bats, iron bars, rifle butts and their hands and feet or whatever they had at their disposal to beat the detainees. individuals were who taken out for questioning would often return bruised or injured. many women who were detained at the trnopolje camp were taken out of the camp at night by serb soldiers and raped or sexually assaulted. slobodan kuruzović, the commander of the trnopolje camp, estimated that between 6,000 and 7,000 people passed through the camp in 1992. those who passed through the camp were not guilty of any crime. the international red cross arrived in the camp in mid-august 1992. a few days later the detainees were registered and received a registration booklet. the camp was officially closed down on september 30, although there is evidence to suggest that some 3,500 remained for a longer period, until they were transferred to travnik in central bosnia. there were also other facilities in prijedor which were used to detain bosniak and other non-serb people. such detention facilities included yugoslav people's army barracks, miška glava community centre and a police building in prijedor known as the sup building. the jna barracks in prijedor were known as the žarko zgonjanin barracks. they were used as a transition detention center. some people who were fleeing the cleansing of bišćani were trapped by serb soldiers and taken to a command post at miška glava. the next morning they were called out, interrogated and beaten. this pattern continued for four or five days. several men from the village of rizvanovići were taken out by soldiers and have not been seen since. around 100 men were arrested in the woods near kalajevo by jna soldiers and reserve police and taken to the miška glava cultural club. the detention cells were located behind the main sup building (police building). there was also a courtyard where people were called out at night and beaten up. prisoners detained in this building were also regularly threatened and insulted. guards would curse them by calling them "balija", a derogative term for muslim peasants of low origin. numerous killings, both inside and outside the camps were committed during the prijedor ethnic cleansing. on the basis of the evidence presented at the "stakić trial", the trial chamber finds that over a hundred people were killed in late july 1992 in the omarska camp. around 200 people from hambarine arrived in the omarska camp sometime in july 1992. they were initially accommodated in the structure known as the "white house". early in the morning, around 01:00 or 02:00 on 17 july 1992, gunshots were heard that continued until dawn. dead bodies were seen in front of the "white house". the camp guards, one of whom was recognised as živko marmat, were shooting rounds into the bodies. "everyone was given an extra bullet that was shot in their heads". the bodies were then loaded onto a truck and taken away. there were about 180 bodies in total. on 24 july 1992, the massacre at the keraterm camp, known as the "room 3" massacre was committed as one of the first larger massacres committed inside the camp. new bosniak detainees from the earlier-cleansed brdo area were incarcerated in "room 3". for the first few days, the detainees were denied food as well as being subjected to beatings and abuse. on the day of the massacre, a large number of serb soldiers arrived in the camp, wearing military uniforms and red berets. a machine-gun was placed in front of room 3. that night, bursts of shooting and moans could be heard coming from "room 3". a machine gun started firing. the next morning there was blood on the walls in "room 3". there were piles of bodies and wounded people. the guards opened the door and said: "look at these foolish dirty muslims – they have killed each other". the area outside "room 3" was covered with blood. a truck arrived and one man from "room 1" volunteered to assist with loading the bodies onto the truck. soon after, the truck with all the bodies left the compound. the volunteer from room 1 reported that there were 128 dead bodies on the truck. as the truck left, blood could be seen dripping from it. later that day, a fire engine arrived to clean room 3 and the surrounding area. the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia (icty) was a body of the u.n. established to prosecute serious crimes committed during the yugoslav wars, and to try their perpetrators. the tribunal was an ad hoc court located in the hague, netherlands. it handed down some 20 sentences in relation to crimes perpetrated in the prijedor municipality. one notable verdict was against ex-bosnian serb leader, radovan karadžić, who was convicted for crimes against humanity and war crimes across bosnia, including prijedor. he was sentenced to a life in prison. on 22 november 2017, general ratko mladić was also sentenced to a life in prison. other important convictions included milomir stakić, the ex-president of the prijedor municipal assembly, who was sentenced to 40 years in prison, bosnian serb politician momčilo krajišnik, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and radoslav brđanin, ex-president of the autonomous region of krajina crisis staff, who was handed over a 30 years' jail term. stojan župljanin, an ex-police commander who had operational control over the police forces responsible for the detention camps, and mićo stanišić, the ex-minister of the interior of republika srpska, both received 22 years in prison each. bosnian serb politician biljana plavšić pleaded guilty and admit guilt. she was sentenced to 11 years' in prison for persecution of non-serbs. ex-guards of the keraterm camp were also convicted: dusko sikirica was sentenced to 15 years, damir dosen to 5 years and dragan kolundzija to 3 years for beatings, whereas the guards of the omarska camp were also convicted: zoran žigić was sentenced to 25 years, mlado radic to 20 years, miroslav kvočka to 7 years imprisonment, milojica kos to 6 years and dragoljub prcać sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. predrag banović, who pleaded guilty to 25 charges, was sentenced to 8 years in prison. duško tadić was sentenced to 20 years in jail. darko mrđa, an ex-special bosnian serb police unit member who was involved in the korićani cliffs massacre case, pleaded guilty and was handed over a 17-year jail term. in 2010, a memorial was opened in kozarac in remembrance of the bosniak civilian victims who died in the concentration camps run by serbian authorities during the war. however, according to "the economist", authorities in prijedor refuse to allow a memorial to the mostly bosniak children killed in the city during the war. eul may refer to: the household cavalry composite regiment was a temporary, wartime-only, cavalry regiment of the british army consisting of personnel drawn from the 1st life guards, 2nd life guards and royal horse guards. it was active in 1882 for service in the anglo-egyptian war, in 1889–1900 during the second boer war, from august to november, 1914 during the opening months of world war i and in world war ii. the regiment was first formed in 1882 to take part in the anglo-egyptian war. the regiment was re-raised and served in the second boer war. a formation of the 12th royal lancers and the household cavalry undertook a successful charge at the battle of diamond hill in june 1900. when the british expeditionary force was mobilised, it had a war establishment of seventeen cavalry regiments – five cavalry brigades of three regiments each, and two regiments which would be broken up to serve as reconnaissance squadrons, one for each of the six infantry divisions. the peacetime establishment in the united kingdom was nineteen cavalry regiments – sixteen line regiments, and the three regiments of the household cavalry. the sixteen regular regiments were earmarked for overseas service, whilst the seventeenth regiment was to be provided by a composite regiment formed with a squadron from each of the three household cavalry regiments – the 1st life guards, the 2nd life guards, and the royal horse guards – and assigned a mobilisation role in 4th cavalry brigade. on the outbreak of war on 4 august 1914, the regiment was duly constituted with a squadron each from the 1st life guards at hyde park, the 2nd life guards at regent's park and the royal horse guards at windsor. the regiment joined 4th cavalry brigade which was assigned to the cavalry division and moved to france in august 1914. with the cavalry division, the regiment took part in a number of actions during the early war of movement: the battle of mons (23–24 august), the battle of le cateau (26 august), the action at néry (1 september), the battle of the marne (6–9 september) and the battle of the aisne (12–15 september). the regiment was transferred with 4th cavalry brigade to the 2nd cavalry division on 14 october 1914 to bring it up to the standard three brigade strength. with the division, the regiment took part in first battle of ypres, notably the battle of gheluvelt (29–31 october). on 11 november, the household cavalry composite regiment was broken up and its constituent squadrons rejoined their parent regiments; these had landed at zeebrugge on 7 october 1914 with 7th cavalry brigade, 3rd cavalry division. the queen's own oxfordshire hussars, a yeomanry regiment, replaced it in 4th cavalry brigade. from 1916 to 1918, an infantry battalion, the household battalion, was formed from the 1st life guards, 2nd life guards and royal horse guards reserve regiments. by the outbreak of world war ii, the 1st and 2nd life guards had been amalgamated as the life guards. in september 1939, the life guards and royal horse guards formed the household cavalry composite regiment and the household cavalry training regiment. the blues were at windsor when war was declared on 3 september 1939. that month, the life guards and royal horse guards formed the household cavalry composite regiment and the household cavalry training regiment. king george vi was instinctively biased for the favour of the household cavalry expressing a wish to see both regiments involved in battle and doing ceremonial duties. from 30 september 1939 the king inspected the composites and then each unit in turn. remounts depots were established to keep the regiments on horseback, but the composite was short of horses. but it became clear from advice received from bernard montgomery that remounts would soon have to be abandoned. the household cavalry composite regiment served with the 4th cavalry brigade and joined the 1st cavalry division when it was formed on 31 october 1939. charles kavanagh had complained that the household cavalry regiment used up "a large number of horses" and are "not getting as good officers as the others." humphrey wyndham, who was with life guards, told churchill that his preference was for household cavalry to become tank and not machine guns. "then the life guards and blues would have led the way in the mechanization of the cavalry, instead of being made to follow it." as it was they mobilized their horses in 1939; four of the officers in the blues at that time were masters of fox hound. wyndham went on: "the horse, after serving as a medium of mobility in war from the earliest times, was in process of supersession by the internal combustion engine across the valley." the household cavalry composite regiment departed the united kingdom in february 1940, transited across france, and arrived in palestine on 20 february 1940. it served as a garrison force under british forces, palestine and trans-jordan. a reserve regiment remained in london to do ceremonials, whilst training regiments took place at windsor. it was overcrowded when regimental hq life guards and two squadrons made their way there from london. b squadron found accommodation at the royal hotel, and c squadron went to the old etonian club at combermere barracks, windsor. 100 reservists were drafted from other regiments for a full complement. in november 1940 the household cavalry composite regiment became the 1st household cavalry motor battalion. the 1st household cavalry motor battalion arrived at haifa on 22 february 1941 under a new commanding officer, lieutenant-colonel reginald heyworth. the final decision to become mechanized was not taken until later that month. in the judean desert they were ordered to end their horse cavalry days: horses older than 15 years were put down. in march 1941, the 1st household cavalry motor battalion was redesignated as the 1st household cavalry regiment. in april 1941, the 4th cavalry brigade, together with a battalion of infantry from the essex regiment, a mechanised regiment from the arab legion and supporting artillery was organised as "habforce" for operations in iraq as part of the response to pro-axis rashid ali who had seized power in baghdad and was besieging raf habbaniya. on 9 may 1941, 1st household cavalry regiment were ordered to prepare to move with 2-inch mortars, hotchkiss machine guns and, later, bren machine-guns (much as they had been armed in 1914): the operation across the desert by was one of the most illustrious in the earlier period of the war. there was a heatwave as they followed the oil pipeline to join glubb pasha's arab legion at the rutba oasis. the column covered 700 miles in six days, led by household cavalry officers, who were awarded several military crosses. c squadron was stationed at fallujah, to hold the euphrates against any attack from baghdad. the advance on the capital began on 27 may. lieutenant-colonel andrew ferguson, the commanding officer, took the main force north, while c squadron circled south of the city. faced by an iraqi division, and flanked by another regiment, the british regimental hq was attacked, but repulsed the enemy. b squadron had a sharp fight at al-khadimain, and there was a display of singular courage in the face of the enemy by corporal of horse charles maxted, who was awarded the military medal. but the germans in baghdad called a truce, and on 31 may, c squadron were billeted in the city's railway station unopposed. following this, in july 1941, "habforce" was placed under the command of australian i corps and was involved in operations against the vichy french in syria, advancing from eastern iraq near the trans-jordan border to capture palmyra and secure the haditha - tripoli oil pipeline. a flying column created from a squadron, known as "mercol" after its commander, major merry, was tasked with crossing the iraqi desert in search of el fawzi el rashid, a leading arab nationalist. the operation to seize a notorious german agent, fritz grobba was carried out by b squadron led by major eric gooch. gooch's unit occupied mosul airfield, taken from the germans. it was thought grobba was hiding at kameschle in vichy syria but on 30 may, grobba fled baghdad. strafed by enemy planes, they moved into the hills above palmyra, partly on foot. palmyra fell on 3 july 1941. lieutenant john shaw and lieutenant valerian wellesley of the blues were awarded military crosses. on 15 july they attacked a ridge occupied by the foreign legion at djerboua. on 15 july 1941 they were lauded by winston churchill, at a time during the war when there were few victories, for the capture of the oasis and declaration of surrender by the french regime. they quickly moved into aleppo. the commanding officer left a report to: "give further accounts to the public ... of syrian fighting, marked as it was by so many picturesque episodes, such as the arrival of his majesty's life guards and royal horse guards, in armoured cars, across many hundreds of miles of desert, to surround and capture the oasis of palmyra." the last mounted expedition took place at the plain of esdraelon in october 1941; from their base at tiberias on the vichy-syrian frontier they reported on "the last great mounted exercise ever to be undertaken by british cavalry in the plain of esdraelon, which has a nice biblical sound and involved about two thousands horses." the 1st household cavalry regiment next saw action at the first battle of el alamein in july 1942 and the second battle of el alamein in october 1942 before moving to syria to patrol the turko-syrian border. the 1st household cavalry regiment landed in italy in april 1944 and then, after a break in the uk between october 1944 and march 1945, took part in the north west europe campaign. the regiment was disbanded in 1945 and the personnel returned to their original units. the household cavalry training regiment remained in home forces until september 1941 when it was redesignated as the 2nd household cavalry regiment and joined the guards armoured division. it acted as the divisional reconnaissance unit until 27 february 1943 when it was replaced by 2nd battalion, welsh guards. in july 1943 it was assigned to the second army and in june 1944 it landed in normandy as part of viii corps. thereafter it served throughout the north west europe campaign until the end of the war with viii and xxx corps. on 19 june 1945, it rejoined the guards division (replacing 2nd welsh guards). the household cavalry reserve regiment was formed in september 1939 and remained in home forces until march 1941 when it was disbanded. tomás francisco gutiérrez nino de guzman was a peruvian military man who led a coup against president josé balta montero and served as the supreme leader of peru on 1872. from july 22, 1872 to july 26, 1872, gutiérrez nino de guzman was the de facto leader of peru and the self-proclaimed "supreme leader of the republic." he was overthrown just four days after his proclamation and lynched. peru later regained some political stability with the election on manuel pardo, although this stability was short-lived as a foreign threat began to arise in chile. the 1872 elections in peru had produced a victory for manuel pardo, who was to become the first civilian president in the history of peru. shortly before pardo was to take office, however, gutiérrez, serving as president balta's defense minister, organized a coup d'état. balta and pardo were arrested and held captive on board the frigate "independence". gutiérrez nino de guzman proclaimed himself "supreme leader of the republic" and asked for the support of the armed forces. however, only some of the army agreed to support him, and the navy issued a statement on july 23 which made it clear that they would not support the new regime. the citizens of lima did not support gutiérrez either, and the situation soon became violent. on july 26, one of gutiérrez's brothers, silvestre, was assassinated while driving through the city. in retaliation, president gutiérrez ordered that balta be executed. by july 26, 1872, the crowd in lima had organized into a mob and stormed gutiérrez's palace. gutiérrez was captured and lynched. his body was hung from one of the towers of the cathedral of lima. the four-day regime of tomás gutiérrez did not halt the increasing control of civilians in the peruvian government. just one week after gutiérrez's overthrow, pardo assumed the presidency and his party, the civilista party, would be a dominant force in peruvian politics for decades to come. the democratic progressive party chairmanship by-election of 2006 was held on january 15, 2006 in taiwan. it was the tenth chairmanship election conducted by the party. in december 2005, chairperson su tseng-chang resigned as a result of failing to win ten of the twenty-three positions in the 2005 local elections. there were many hopefuls that publicly expressed their desire for the chairmanship. these politicians withdrew after acting chairperson annette lu withdrew her campaign. only three candidates formally announced their bids for chairperson: yu won the race with over 54% of the votes. however, the voter turnout was only 19.96%, the lowest turnout in the party's history. this was significantly different from the 2005 kuomintang election, which had a voter turnout of 50.17%. it is commonly believed that yu's successful campaign symbolized the fact that president chen shui-bian's justice alliance was still in power within the party. after su tseng-chang, also a member of the justice alliance, was appointed the premier, his term was relatively more stable as a result of the mutual cooperation between the three leaders. on the other hand, former chairperson lin yi-hsiung left the party as a result of the loss of wong chin-chu. darryl edgar hall (born august 1, 1966) is a former grey cup champion and all-star canadian football league defensive back. he also played 3 years in the national football league with the denver broncos and san francisco 49ers. in the years 1942-1944, the radio manufacturers association used a descriptive nomenclature system for industrial, transmitting, and special-purpose vacuum tubes. the numbering scheme was distinct from both the numbering schemes used for standard receiving tubes, and the existing transmitting tube numbering systems used previously, such as the "800 series" numbers originated by rca and adopted by many others. the system assigned numbers with the base form "1a21", and this numbering scheme is occasionally referred to by tube collectors and historians as the "1a21 system". the first digit of the type number was 1-9, providing a rough indication of the filament/heater power rating (and therefore the overall power handling capabilities) of the tube. the assigned numbers were as follows: the second character was a letter broadly identifying the class of tube: the last 2 digits were serially assigned, beginning with 21 to avoid possible confusion with receiving tubes or crt phosphor designations. multiple section tubes (like the 3e29 or 8d21) are assigned a letter corresponding to one set of electrodes. like all tube numbering systems, there are many inconsistencies between theory and practice. for example, there is no assigned letter code for cathode-ray tubes. some unusual types received rather mundane sounding designations, based solely on electrode count, because there was no better place to put them. for example, the 2f21 is not an actual hexode, but a pattern generating monoscope tube. some very exotic types received generic designators, even when there was a more appropriate designator available. for example, the 2h21 "phasitron" phase modulator tube used in early fm broadcast transmitters was assigned an "h" (octode) designator, when it would have been a perfect candidate for the otherwise unused "t" category for deflection controlled tubes. the first-digit filament/heater power rating confusingly gathers valves of widely-differing ratings. the 2g21 is a subminiature triode-hexode, with a maximum anode (plate) current of some 0.2 milliamps and a maximum voltage of 45 volts. the 2j42 magnetron, with a power output of some 7 kilowatts, is rated for anode current of 4.5 amps (pulse peak) at anode voltage of 5,500 volts. many of the "1a21" series are well known to collectors and restorers of ww2 vintage radio equipment. a short list of well-known or historic types numbered under this system: this numbering system was abandoned in 1944 in favor of a non-descriptive numbering system of 4 digit numbers beginning with 5500. this new system persisted until the final days of tubes, with type numbers registered up into the 9000 series. the sting ii is a 1983 american comedy film and a sequel to "the sting", again written by david s. ward. it was directed by jeremy paul kagan and stars an entirely original cast including jackie gleason, mac davis, teri garr, karl malden and oliver reed. the great depression is over. king of the con men fargo gondorff is released from prison and reassembles his cronies for another con, out to avenge the murder of his lifelong pal kid colors. gondorff's young protege jake hooker attempts to pull a scam on wealthy "countess veronique," who instead pulls one on him and turns out to be a grifter herself named veronica. coming up with a boxing con, gondorff's goal is to sting both lonnegan, the notorious banker and gangster who wants revenge from a previous con, and gus macalinski, a wealthy local racketeer. one or both of them is behind kid colors' death. hooker pretends to be a boxer who is about to throw a big fight. macalinski is not only hoodwinked into losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, he is talked into changing his original wager by lonnegan. while one gangster takes care of the other, gondorff and hooker head for the train station with a bag full of money, tickets out of town and a final twist from veronica. this film's continuity to the first is disputed: "the sting ii" holds a 0% at rotten tomatoes. the film was nominated for an academy award for the

brick parish churches in the state, with a number of architectural features not found on any other of the period. it was declared a national historic landmark in 1970. st. stephen's church is located on the east side of st. stephen, on the south side of church road (south carolina highway 45). it is set on a parcel of about that includes the churchyard and cemetery, and is surrounded on three sides by brick church circle. the church is a single story brick structure, long and wide. it is topped by a gambrel roof with curvilinear roof sections and jacobean gable ends. there are three entrances, two on the long sides and one on the short western side. the doors and windows are set in round-arch openings with fanlight windows above, and the bays on each side are articulated by doric brick pilasters. the interior is divided roughly into four sections by two crossing aisles, with the pulpit located at the eastern end, in front of a small palladian window. the ceiling is of ornamented metal. the building's walls are stabilized by iron rods (placed after an 1886 earthquake), that run down and across the interior of the structure. the st. stephen's parish was set off from the parish of st. james, santee in 1754. this church was built between 1767 and 1769, replacing an earlier wood frame structure. it is one of south carolina's well-preserved small brick country parish churches, its unique features including the gambrel roof and pilastered exterior, and the interior ceiling. it was built and designed by francis villepontoux and a. howard who provided the bricks. william axson was the master mason. there were no regular services in the church between 1808 and 1932, but the building was not neglected. needed repairs were done twice during the 19th century. st. stephen's is still an active church in the episcopal diocese of south carolina. the rev. jeffrey richardson is the current rector. this is a list of fictional characters from the "mobile suit gundam seed astray", "mobile suit gundam seed destiny astray" and "mobile suit gundam seed vs astray" manga of the "gundam" metaseries. rondo ghina sahaku and rondo mina sahaku were fraternal twins and coordinators who were members of the orb union's nobility. while rondo ghina was male and rondo mina was female, the two looked nearly identical. the defining difference between the two were their attitudes, while ghina was highly aggressive, mina was more calm and empathetic than her brother. in addition to their appearance, they also shared the desire for orb to rule the earth sphere. while ghina was both tyrannical and aggressive, mina was benevolent and democratic. to achieve that goal, ghina initiated morgenroete's collaboration with the earth alliance in building the g project mobile suits on heliopolis. while providing genuine assistance, morgonroete also stole data on many elements of the g project in order to create their own prototype mobile suits, the mbf-p01 astray gold frame, mbf-p02 astray red frame, and mbf-p03 astray blue frame. when heliopolis came under zaft attack, morgenroete planned to destroy the astrays and erase all evidence of their actions, but ghina had other ideas. he uploaded a prototype natural-use operating system into the red frame and data on multiple hardware upgrades into the blue frame, then escaped the colony using the gold frame and a heavy bazooka morgonroete had designed for the gat-x102 duel. however, his intent to recover the other two astrays was inadvertently thwarted by a junk guild team and the serpent tail mercenaries, who took possession of the red frame and the blue frame. later, shortly after the death of their father koto sahaku left ghina as the head of the family, the sahakus acquired several powerful earth alliance mobile suits, piloted by socius series combat coordinators, through secret arrangements with blue cosmos leader muruta azrael (who most likely was unaware of the sahakus being coordinators), and also carried out covert missions on behalf of azrael. these missions, carried out personally by ghina as the pilot of the gold frame, eventually led to conflict with the pilots of orb's lost red frame and blue frame, junk guild technician lowe guele and serpent tail leader gai murakumo, respectively. the first two battles proved inconclusive, but the third cost ghina his life at gai's hands. with the death of her brother, mina's ambitions waned and she was content to simply defend the "ame-no-mihashira" and protect the refugees from terrestrial orb who had gathered there after its fall. after the war's end, mina dispersed the forces under her command to await the restoration of the orb union. later, mina and three of her socius clones joined forces with the junk guild and serpent tail (whose roles in ghina's death she remains unaware of) in a failed attempt to stop the "break the world" terrorist attack by shooting junius 7's remains with genesis alpha. shortly afterward, mina was a guest at the wedding of cagalli yula athha and yuna roma seiran, and witnessed the "abduction" of cagalli by her twin brother kira yamato. when martian pilot agnes brahe attempted to pursue kira in his gsf-yam01 δ astray, mina boarded amatu and blocked his path, convincing him that "rescuing" cagalli would not be in her best interest. at their height, the sahaku family's military forces consisted of the space fortress/mobile suit factory "ame-no-mihashira" (august pillar of heaven, named from a japanese creation myth), the battleship "izumo", the mbf-p01-re2 astray gold frame amatu, a gat-x133 sword calamity, a gat-x255 forbidden blue, a gat-333 raider full spec, two gat-01d long daggers, and numerous mbf-m1 and mbf-m1a astray mobile suits. approximately ten of these mobile suits were piloted by socius clones. rondo ghina sahaku was voiced by nobuo tobita in the video game "mobile suit gundam seed destiny: generation of ce". on a side note, tobita has been the voice of kamille bidan since mobile suit zeta gundam in 1985. ironically, the man who kills rondo ghina, gai murakamo, is voiced by kazuhiko inoue, who voiced kamille's archrival jerid messa. the character roles however are switched. it is perhaps interesting to note in the tokyopop translation, both rondos are translated as sisters. anthony 'tony' mcgurk is a two-time all star winning former irish gaelic

deaths. he was a visiting professor at the university of rome three times (1996, 1999, 2001). in 2004 he published his translation of the "secret history" with brill; it was selected by "choice" as outstanding academic title (2005) and is now in its second edition. in 2007 he donated his personal library of around 6000 volumes to the scheut memorial library at the katholieke universiteit leuven. late in his life de rachewiltz was an emeritus fellow in the pacific and asian history division of the australian national university. his research interests included the political and cultural history of china and mongolia in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, east-west political and cultural contacts, and sino-mongolian philology generally. in 2015, de rachewiltz published an open access version of his previous translation, "the secret history of the mongols: a mongolian epic chronicle of the thirteenth century," that is a full translation but omits the extensive footnotes of his previous translations. igor de rachewiltz died on july 30, 2016. he was 87. wnvi (1040 am) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary christian format. licensed to moca, puerto rico, united

g-40, or simply volkswagen polo g). at the heart of the polo gt g40 was its 1.3 litre g40 engine (engine id code: py). it displaced from a cylinder bore of , and a piston stroke of . the g40s 'g-lader' supercharger had a displacer width of , hence the "g40" name. this g40 engine produced a maximum power output of at 6,000 rpm, and torque of at 3,600 rpm. stopping power came from uprated front disc brakes, now radially ventilated, sized at in diameter by thick, with ate single-piston sliding calipers. standard roadwheels were 13x5.5 et38 silver 'hockenheim' alloy wheels with 175/60 h13 tyres. performance figures indicate it could complete the standard discipline of sprinting from a standstill to in 8.1 seconds, and could go on to reach a top speed of . three prototype cars had been used by volkswagen in 1985 to set a number of world endurance speed records, such as the 1.3 litre class records for speed over 24 hours, and speed over a distance of . there have been a number of one-make race series for the polo, starting with the 'volkswagen polo g40 cup' for mk2 (germany) and mk2f g40 (uk) versions. the polo cup championship started in 1987 with race-modified polo g40 producing (with a catalytic converter) and was a support race at rounds of the deutsche tourenwagen meisterschaft. at the time of launch of the polo mk2f, the highest performance model was the polo gt with (engine id code: 3f). this featured a multi-point fuel injected version of the 1,272 cc engine, capable of propelling it from 0 - in 11.1 seconds and onto a quoted top speed of . defining features of the polo gt include red piping in the bumpers, black overhead cloth, a rev counter, wheel arch extensions and a red badge in the grille. soon after the launch of the mk2f, another sporting model was added to the range — a new version of the supercharged g40, now as a full production model in all markets, rather than the limited batch of mk2 g40s. engine and gearbox aside, mechanical differences between the g40 and similar looking gt included lower suspension, vented front brake discs and rose-jointed steering and track control arms. the g40 was also marked out by its le mans check interior trim, roof-mounted 'bee-sting' aerial and bbs 5.5jx13 cross-spoke alloy wheels, while the speedometer topped out at 160 mph (compared to 120 mph on the gt). as with the previous model, volkswagen motorsport modified g40 cup cars were sold for racing in a one-make series, the volkswagen polo g40 cup. a handful of these original racers are still around, and compete in the super coupe cup against other brands. sales of the g40 was marred by a comparatively high price tag (£11,568 in the uk - equivalent to around £19,000 in 2010) and because it was based on a nine-year-old design it came with limited luxuries compared to rivals. power steering, for example, was never an option. with the bigger, better equipped mk2 golf gti 8v not much more expensive it failed to sell in large numbers. only around 500 right hand drive models were ever made, exclusivity which combined with easy power upgrades has made it popular with enthusiasts. the model was replaced by the polo gti in

august 1862) was a lawyer and entrepreneur in colonial new brunswick. born in maugerville, sunbury county, perley received his primary school education in saint john. in 1829, he married jane, daughter of the united empire loyalist isaac ketchum. they had eight children. perley studied law and was called to the bar in 1830. perley played a dominant role in producing the new brunswick "indian act" of 1844. he had an extensive knowledge of indian affairs through his travels and communication throughout the province. he was appointed commissioner for indian affairs and further influenced matters covered under the "indian act". between 1849 and 1852 he wrote several studies on the prospects for the further development of the province’s ocean and river fisheries, a task which saw him travel some 900 miles throughout new brunswick (500 of them by canoe) collecting information and statistics. perley’s findings on these trips were detailed in his "report on the fisheries of the gulf of saint lawrence" (1849), "report on the sea and river fisheries of new brunswick, within the gulf of saint lawrence and bay of chaleur" (1850), and "report upon the fisheries of the bay of fundy" (1851), all of which were compiled in a one-volume omnibus entitled "reports on the sea and river fisheries of new brunswick" (1852). his knowledge of the fishery also meant that he had a commanding influence on the fishery legislation drafted between 1849 and 1852. perley was appointed as emigrant agent for the province and, in 1855, was appointed a fishery commissioner to enforce the canadian–american reciprocity treaty. he died after an illness on board hms "desperate" near labrador while engaged in duties associated with this post. the william & mary tribe men's basketball team represents the college of william & mary in williamsburg, virginia in ncaa division i competition. the school's team competes in the colonial athletic association and play their home games in kaplan arena. william and mary coach, dane fischer was hired as the 31st coach in school history following the dismissal of coach tony shaver. shaver served as the head coach from 2003-2019 and leads the school in all-time wins for a coach. the tribe have appeared in the national invitation tournament three times. their combined record is 0–3. william & mary is one of four original division i teams in history to have never participated in the ncaa tournament. when the ncaa split its classification into divisions in 1948–49, william & mary was classified as a division i school. of all division i schools today that were charter members of this new classification, only william & mary, the citadel, army, and st. francis brooklyn have never reached the ncaa men's basketball tournament at least once. the closest effort by the tribe to reach the ncaa tournament was a 75–74 loss in the 2014 caa tournament final to delaware. the tribe also lost conference tournament championships in 1958, 1961, 1965, 1975, 1983, 2008, 2010, and 2015, now having gone 0–9 in ncaa tournament berth-clinching games. william & mary's traditional rivals have included in-state opponents old dominion university, james madison university, the university of richmond, virginia commonwealth university, and george mason university. however, of these teams, only the james madison dukes are still members of the colonial athletic association. the richmond spiders, vcu rams, and george mason patriots have all moved on to the atlantic 10 conference while the old dominion monarchs left for conference usa in 2013. some of these teams are maintained as part of william & mary's out of conference schedule each year along with other virginia schools like virginia, virginia tech, hampton, radford, vmi, and liberty. "through the 2017–18 season, march 5" william & mary joined the colonial athletic association, its current conference, in 1982–83. the caa's predecessor was the ecac south, which existed between 1977–78 and 1984–85. the caa recognizes the 1982–83 through 1984–85 seasons as part of its basketball history but not any earlier. the caa was formally founded in 1982–83 as the ecac south basketball

built in the united states in the early 1950s. designed by airline pilot william fike, it was a conventional high-wing strut-braced monoplane with tailskid undercarriage and seating for one or two people in an enclosed cabin. in appearance, the aircraft strongly resembled a piper cub, with only the tail surfaces sourced from one. an unusual feature was that the flight controls were mounted to the ceiling of the cabin, rather than the floor. this facilitated the folding or removal of the seat or seats to enable the aircraft's use as a sleeping space when camping with it. plans were marketed for homebuilding. eva lundgren (born november 24, 1947) is a norwegian-swedish sociologist. she is an expert on violence against women and sexual violence, particularly in religious contexts. she is professor emerita of sociology at uppsala university. lundgren is best known for developing the theory of the process of normalization of violence, according to which, abused women gradually adopt the perspective of their abusers. lundgren has written several books on violence, sexuality and religion. she held a government-appointed chair of sociology at uppsala university 1993–2011, to study "the relation between power and gender in family and society, particularly in regard to men's violence against women", and has been a visiting professor at several universities, including new york university. since 2017 she has been active in the me too debate. a native of flekkefjord, she started her career as a model and studied at the university of bergen, where she earned her (6-year) candidate's degree in theology in 1978 and her doctoral degree in 1985. she was first employed as a research fellow at the university of bergen, and was appointed an associate professor in 1986. she was head of the department of gender studies at the university of bergen 1987-1988, and was found to be competent as a full professor in 1988. in 1989, she was appointed a docent (reader) in theology at uppsala university, relocating to stockholm. in 1993, she was appointed professor of sociology at uppsala university by the government of sweden, to study the "relation between power and gender in family and society, in particular men's violence against women". she was installed as a professor with a military parade and gave her inaugural lecture on eroticised power in uppsala cathedral. she was a visiting professor at new york university from 1996 to 1997, and has also held visiting professorships at the university of north london, the university of bradford and åbo akademi university. in 2003, lundgren became head of department for the newly created department of gender studies (samgenus) at uppsala university. theoretically, lundgren has focused on developing the concept of the process of normalisation, a model to explain how battered women gradually break down and accept the violent situation. lundgren has also argued that men who systematically use sexualised violence against their partner do so in order to consolidate their position of power, rather than to satisfy a sexual desire. in recent years, lundgren's research has focused on the knutby murder. her 2008 book "the knutby code", published simultaneously in swedish and norwegian, is a critical analysis of the knutby case. lundgren's research has had considerable influence on public policy in sweden, particularly under the social democratic governments in the 1990s and early 2000s. one of her supporters is margareta winberg, the former deputy pm and minister for gender equality, who once described lundgren as "cool". the 1998 violence against women act (kvinnofridslagen) is said to be based on lundgren's research. a controversial tv documentary on radical feminism in sweden titled "the gender war", which was aired in 2005, generated debate on eva lundgren's work in both sweden and norway. this led uppsala university's rector bo sundqvist to first announce a public debate on lundgren's research, then cancel the debate and appoint a commission consisting of political scientist jörgen hermansson and philosopher margareta hallberg to investigate lundgren's research. the inquiry cleared her of any wrongdoing, although hallberg and hermansson aimed criticism at her conclusions. however, the inquiry and the report were criticized by uppsala university's chief lawyer marianne andersson, who stated that hallberg and hermansson's criticism of lundgren's conclusions was inappropriate and illegal in the context of such a report, and not in their mandate, which was solely to investigate claims of wrongdoing. lundgren dismissed the criticism. 14 leading researchers in lundgren's field of study also criticized the "unique" inquiry, stating that hermansson and hallberg were not competent to assess lundgren's research. the university committed itself to restoring lundgren's reputation, granting her and her research group increased funding in compensation for having subjected her to an unjustified inquiry. in 2011, eva lundgren resigned from her chair at uppsala university, stating that she will concentrate on her international career in the future, and criticizing uppsala university for not doing enough to support her. she had previously criticized the university for not honouring the agreement to restore her reputation. lundgren is writing a book on what she considers an attack on feminist scholarship in sweden. in the context of the me too debate in 2017, the swedish newspaper "svenska dagbladet" wrote that lundgren had been proven right and that the criticism of her in the early 2000s had been discredited. in 2018, also in the context of the me too debate, lundgren and legal scholar jenny westerstrand wrote that the swedish journalistic profession bore a large part of the blame in sweden for the problems the debate had highlighted because swedish journalists had systematically attacked critical discussion of and research on men's violence against women for over 20 years. floyd huston "skipper" matthews (february 3, 1903 – february 24, 2008) was, at age 105, an american veteran of the united states navy, in which he served for thirty years. matthews was the oldest living united states military veteran in alabama as well as the oldest living submariner at the time of his death at the age of 105. he was also one of the oldest surviving world war ii veterans and one of the few surviving world war i era veterans, according to the alabama department of veterans affairs. matthews was born in west point, tennessee. he first enlisted in the united states navy in 1919 in the months following the end of world war i when matthews was aged 16. he later served in the pacific during world war ii. by the time of matthews' service during world war ii, he had risen through the ranks of the navy to the level of lieutenant commander. floyd matthews died at eliza coffee memorial hospital. he was survived by his sons, bill and john. matthews was a resident of florence, alabama. linnsburg is a small unincorporated community in walnut township, montgomery county, in the u.s. state of indiana. the town is a former whistle stop on the monon branch and still has active rail service today from nucor steel to avon. linnsburg was platted by susan mcmullen in 1870. a post office was established at linnsburg in 1887, and remained in operation until 1934. in the early hours of may 13, 1995 an f-2 tornado struck this small community and killed two people as they slept in their beds. there was no warning. the storm damaged portions of nucor steel, walnut township elementary school, and several homes and farms. police officers and fire fighters from all around the county converged on the scene and spent hours digging through the rubble for survivors. this was part of a series of tornadoes that struck the midwest. linnsburg is located just south of mace, at . in the november 1980 issue of the uk's personal computer world (pcw magazine], there was an article written by david tebbutt, about his visit to the menlo park library where the "computertown usa!" a self-help computer literacy movement, started by the people's computer company, was based. that article and the regular ctuk column/page in future issues of pcw in turn sparked a widespread uk based self-help computer literacy movement, called "computertown uk!". within a few months over 20 local groups sprang up. the idea behind the groups was that members of the public took their own personal computers into public places for the general public to see and use. several of these ctuk groups gave birth to local amateur computer clubs, some of which are still continued operating into the 21st century. an example of such a group was 'computertown north east' (newcastle-upon-tyne & gateshead) which met in the tyne & wear science museum cafe (and thus could claim to be the first ever cyber-cafe on tyneside). they also held "awareness days" in the newcastle central public library, and in many other local branch libraries on tyneside, and in gateshead, south shields and sunderland between 1981 and 1990. users' group landeck-zams railway station (formerly named landeck) is a railway station on the arlberg railway between innsbruck and bludenz in tyrol, austria. it is frequented by more than 2000 travellers a day, whereby a majority of them are commuters that are working or studying in innsbruck. beside its function as an important commuter station, landeck-zams also serves as an important station for the operations flow on the arlberg line, since the ramp section of europe's most difficult mountain railway (max. 26 ‰ on the east- and 31 ‰ on the west-ramp) starts in landeck. therefore, banking engines are often coupled (or decoupled) to heavy freight- or passenger trains. even the orient express takes a short stop in landeck for this reason. because of the single track design of the mountain section of the line, a closing between bludenz and landeck (sometimes ötztal) can be necessary in exceptional cases (maintenance works or natural disasters). passenger transport is then adopted by a rail replacement service. for this reason the station forecourt of landeck is laid out for offering parking space to enough coaches if necessary. the most important connections are the bihourly running öbb-eurocity trains from basel and zürich, respectively bregenz to wien westbahnhof (vienna west). regional trains are only going eastbound to innsbruck hauptbahnhof and hall in tirol since the regional traffic between landeck and st. anton was completely abandoned and displaced by an improved coach service. once a day there is also a connection to dortmund or münster in germany. in the winter season the station of landeck is additionally frequented by ski-trains, predominantly from denmark and the netherlands. this trains are often stabled in landeck for the holiday duration of their passengers. from the station forecourt, which is equipped with a guidance system, are departing urban buses (landeck–landeck-zams –zams) as well as regional lines. the following lines depart from landeck-zams: jacob cheung chi-leung is a hong kong film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor. his credits include "a battle of wits" (2006), which was nominated for best director and best screenplay at the golden bauhinia awards, and "beyond the sunset" (1989), which was nominated for two awards at the 9th hong kong film awards. cheung is married to venus wong and has four children: the triplets matthew, eugene and jeremy, and their elder sister, ingrid. http://hktopten.blogspot.com/2012/06/20120619-tsui-harks-new-film-receives.html this is a list of diplomatic missions of libya. under the rule of muammar al-gaddafi, libya broke practice with almost all other countries in 1979 by renaming their embassies "people's bureaus", with the diplomatic staff known as a local "revolutionary committee". libyan people's bureaus were involved in a shooting incident at the libyan embassy in london in 1984, and believed to be involved in the la belle nightclub bombing in west berlin in 1986. earlier in 1981, the u.s. government closed the libyan people's bureau in washington, d.c. and expelled the libyan staff in response to conduct that generally violated internationally accepted standards of diplomatic behavior. after making amends to the british government and avowing state sponsorship of terrorism libya reopened its missions in london in 1999, and washington, d.c. in 2006. aside from its reapproachment with the west, libya has also been pursuing deeper ties with african states. during the 2011 libyan civil war, there were two governments claiming to be the "de jure" government of libya. one government was led by gaddafi and the other was the national transitional council. some countries had recognised the ntc as the governing authority of libya and libyan ambassadors to those countries were nominated by the ntc. the ntc was awarded libya's seat at the united nations in september 2011 following a vote by the general assembly. the 1976–77 nba season was the spurs first season in the nba. months earlier, the spurs were part of the american basketball association (six in dallas and three in san antonio). the aba had ended its ninth and last campaign. of the seven remaining aba teams, four joined the nba: the denver nuggets, new york nets, indiana pacers and san antonio spurs. the kentucky colonels and spirits of st. louis agreed to take a cash settlement and cease operations. immediately, the aba players were dispersed across the new 22-team league. the other aba teams from the prior season were all folded prior to the aba–nba merger: the baltimore claws, utah stars, san diego sails and virginia squires. the spurs made their debut on october 22 stunning the 76ers in philadelphia by a score of 121–118. afterwards, the spurs would win just 1 of their next 7 games. in november, the spurs would win 6 straight. by february the spurs were 10 games over .500, and were the nba's highest scoring team at 115 points per game. despite the offensive flash, the spurs also had the league's worst defense at 114 points per game as they struggled to finish in 3rd place in the central division with a record of 44–38. in the playoffs, the spurs were swept in 2 straight by the defending world champion boston celtics. neither the spurs, indiana pacers, new york nets or denver nuggets were allowed to participate in the 1976 nba draft. the american basketball association merged with the nba in 1976. of the teams remaining in the aba, four joined the nba. the two teams, the kentucky colonels and spirits of st. louis, which folded had their players assigned to a dispersal draft for draft purposes. record: 2–4; home: 1–1; road: 1–3 record: 9–5; home: 8–0; road: 1–5 record: 7–7; home: 4–1; road: 3–6 (4) boston celtics vs. (5) san antonio spurs: "celtics win series 2–0" manuel vázquez may refer to: the embassy of canada to japan is the main diplomatic mission from canada to japan, located in tokyo. the embassy is canada's third oldest "foreign" legation after paris and washington, d.c. (the high commissions to other commonwealth states are not considered "foreign" by the canadian government). the reason for the legation's creation had much to do with anti-asian feeling in the canadian province of british columbia during the first half of the 20th century. prime minister mackenzie king was anxious to limit japanese migration to canada, saying "our only effective way to deal with the japanese question is to have our own minister in japan to vise passports." the british government was hesitant to anything that might be seen to undermine imperial unity, but finally in may 1929, the canadian legation opened. the first "minister" was sir herbert marler. the embassy soon added trade and political roles to immigration. construction of the chancery was completed in 1934. in 1938 the minister came back to canada without being replaced. in 1941 once canada and japan were at war the legation staff was placed under arrest and not repatriated to canada until mid-1942. after the war, canada's leading japan expert, herbert norman, instead of being minister to japan was attached to represent canada with supreme commander allied powers, general douglas macarthur. in 1952 canada and japan had normalized relations and the legation was upgraded to an embassy, and r.w. mayhew became canada's first ambassador to japan. canada built a new chancery on aoyama avenue, place canada, which was designed by raymond moriyama and opened in 1991. the embassy is housed on the upper levels while the lower levels are let out for rental income. there is a stone garden at the fourth storey with a view of the akasaka palace gardens. at the basement level the embassy hosts a public art gallery, a library, and the 233-seat oscar peterson theatre. the elevator in the ambassador's house is the oldest functional one in japan. sir david john moxon (born 6 september 1951) is a new zealand anglican bishop. he was until june 2017, the archbishop of canterbury's representative to the holy see and director of the anglican centre in rome. he was previously the bishop of waikato in the diocese of waikato and taranaki, the archbishop of the new zealand dioceses and one of the three

anglican church in aotearoa, new zealand and the pacific, as part of new zealand's new tripartite model of anglican episcopacy. as a primate he worked alongside william brown turei (maori) and winston halapua (polynesia). also in 2008, moxon's diocese, waikato, was — uniquely for any anglican diocese — altered such that the bishops of waikato and of taranaki would be co-equal diocesan bishops. philip richardson, whom moxon had appointed as the first (and only) suffragan bishop "in" taranaki became moxon's equal as bishop "of" taranaki and in 2010 the diocese was renamed the diocese of

barbed and seeded proper and in base a maori ta moko symbol or scally the dog was a puppet mongrel dog character, who co-presented the children's itv afternoon service from january 1989 - march 1991 in the united kingdom. children's itv's bosses had noticed how successful puppet characters (such as gordon the gopher and edd the duck) had been on its rival, children's bbc, so they decided to create their own version, which was scally the dog. he was operated and voiced alternately by three different puppeteers, who were richard coombs, john eccleston and michael j. bassett. coombs was the original operator of scally and also built the puppet of him too. however, due to him working on other tv projects at the time, he had to share the duties of doing scally with both eccleston & bassett too. during his time at children's itv, there was also a short-lived "scally" cartoon strip in the children's tv magazine, "look-in" as well. scally first appeared on children's itv in january 1989, alongside his first human co-presenter, mark granger. when the independent production company, stonewall productions took over producing children's itv in april '89, scally was kept on and appeared alongside the new presenter, former tv-am co-host nick owen, in the afternoons for the rest of '89. in summer 1989, when stonewall's children's itv summer mornings service launched, he appeared with new recruits, clive warren and jeanne downs. scally had several catchphrases that he often used on children's itv, one of which was: "yes, indeedy!", which he usually said when he was happy about something. another one was: "we're still here!", which was often said by both owen & scally during their links, referring to them still being on-air at the time. owen left children's itv on 22 december 1989, so downs took over presenting in the afternoons on 2 january 1990, along with scally. this continued until 29 march 1991, when stonewall lost the contract to produce children's itv back to central television (who had also done it previously from 1983 - 1989). they were both replaced by a solo tommy boyd on 1 april 1991. however, both downs and scally (operated & voiced by coombs) made a return to citv 12 years later on 3 january 2003, when they appeared on a special one-off programme called "citv's 20th birthday bash", shown as part of the itv programming block's landmark 20th birthday celebrations. according to a post by downs on the "tv forum" website in 1998, the puppet of scally now resides at the museum of the moving image in birmingham, and is owned by someone who used to work on the bbc saturday morning kids' show, live & kicking. the royal and military order of saint ferdinand (), is a spanish military order whose decoration, known as laureate cross of saint

"loosely adapted from ." the communist party of canada - ontario ran candidates in the 2007 ontario provincial election, none of whom were elected. some of these candidates have their own biography pages; information about others may be found here. a 26-year-old resident of st. jamestown, boyden had union experience as an assistant shop steward and supported the communist party's efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15. sam hammond is a retired industrial worker, activist and journalist living in hamilton, ontario. his campaign biography indicates that he has over forty years' experience in the labour and social justice movements. he has sought office as a candidate of the communist party of canada and the provincial communist party of canada - ontario. hammond was chair of the hamilton tax reform movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and represented the concerns of mostly low-income residents who faced dramatic assessment increases. he was named chair of the communist party's central labour commission in 2004. hammond has written on various subjects for the party journal "people's voice", and has also served as its business manager. he cited vladimir lenin as his favourite historical communist in a 2006 interview, and named poundmaker, tommy douglas and norman bethune as his favourite canadians. president of his canadian auto workers local, also works for a canadian union of public employees local at carleton university (from which he has a degree in journalism). his father was a law professor at queen's university. active in the committee for peace in iraq, and the network opposing war and racism (nowar-paix). a delegate to the ottawa district labour council. katherine airfield was an airfield in the town of katherine, northern territory, australia that closed in 1978 when civil operations moved to raaf base tindal, south of katherine. the site of the airfield is now home to the katherine museum. with the extension of the north australia railway in 1926, a bridge across the katherine river opened, allowing local businesses to move from the rail head town of emungalan to more favourable sites on the southern bank of the river in the new township of katherine. previously, a rough airstrip built in 1923 had served the area, however, with the increased development land was sought and secured in 1930 for a permanent airport north-east of the town. in march 1934, dr clyde fenton, newly appointed as government medical officer began operating medical evacuation flights from the airport using a gipsy moth biplane bought with his own money. this operation would lead to the foundation of the northern territory aerial medical service. fenton's aircraft is preserved and on display in a purpose built hangar at the katherine museum, adjacent to the former runway. during the 1930s, the airfield was used as a refuelling stop by guinea airways, operating flights between darwin and adelaide. the civil airfield was requisitioned by royal australian air force and the 808th engineer aviation battalion extended the airfield from 19 february 1942 to 13 april 1942. the runway was extended to long and wide and 18 dispersals without revetments were constructed. during 1943, the department of civil aviation established a flight service unit at the airfield which operated until 1978 with the closure of the airfield. nine japanese ‘betty’ bombers attacked katherine on 22 march 1942. although there was little damage to buildings and facilities, an aboriginal man was killed. the attack led to the establishment of a large military headquarters along the katherine river. at 7:50 am on 18 january 1939, a lockheed model 14 super electra of guinea airways (predecessor of airlines of south australia) struck trees and crashed into the katherine river during take-off from the airfield, killing all four on board including three pilots and a civil aviation department inspector. the aircraft was operating a scheduled flight to adelaide. dr clyde fenton was among the medical responders at the crash site. plobb! is a single-player 2d freeware game developed with blitzmax. the game involves the player guiding the small blob-shaped main character named "plobb" around the screen where he is attacked by enemy bubbles. the aim is to eliminate the bubbles and finally also the arch-enemy in order to win the game and regain plobb's freedom. the game was created as a research project by bastiaan van rooden from nothing ltd., switzerland, which develops other freeware games but also advergames among other products. it is available as a stand-alone offline game for download free of charge. first launched in 2005, the game was only available for windows while a version compatible with mac os x was developed in 2007. the game is distributed via download from the website of nothing ltd. an introduction tells the story of plobb's captivation by his arch-enemy the evil motts of psodor. in order to escape from evil motts' castle of nightmares plobb has, by spitting shots, to fight and eliminate the enemy bubbles that sap his energy. the game-play structure follows those of classic shoot 'em ups of the 80s, also known as golden age of arcade games, and resembles first and foremost the game-play of asteroids. it follows a simple and intuitive game-play pattern. the player, acting by the avatar plobb throughout the game has to navigate around the bubbles that come crossing the screen and to aim shots at them by spitting in their direction. the player navigates plobb by placing the cursor in the direction of or directly on the target towards which plobb will then move to and upon left mouse click also will emit shots. the speed with which plobb moves increases with the distance of the cursor to the actual position of plobb on the screen. the bubbles differ in size and react to being shot at by dividing into two smaller bubbles until disappearing completely. if plobb is touched by an enemy bubble he will lose energy. the play is structured in 5 worlds with 5 levels each with the final fight between plobb and evil motts on a separate last level. although kept simply structured, the game design uses colors and shapes to the effect of creating candy store aesthetics. the generally round and colorful design can be considered a distinct characteristic of the plobb! game and an original game design concept. anganwadi is a type of rural child care centre in india. they were started by the indian government in 1975 as part of the integrated child development services program to combat child hunger and malnutrition. "anganwadi" means "courtyard shelter" in indian languages. a typical anganwadi centre provides basic health care in a village. it is a part of the indian public health care system. basic health care activities include contraceptive counseling and supply, nutrition education and supplementation, as well as pre-school activities. the centres may be used as depots for oral rehydration salts, basic medicines and contraceptives. , as many as 13.3 lakh (a lakh is 100,000) anganwadi and mini-anganwadi centres (awcs/mini-awcs) are operational out of 13.7 lakh sanctioned awcs/mini-awcs. these centres provide supplementary nutrition, non-formal pre-school education, nutrition and health education, immunization, health check-up and referral services of which the last three are provided in convergence with public health systems. the ministry of women and child development|ministry of women development and child welfare has laid down guidelines for the responsibilities of anganwadi workers. these guidelines include showing community support and active participation in executing this program, conducting regular quick surveys of all families, organizing pre-school activities, providing health and nutrition education to families, especially pregnant women, motivating families to adopt family planning, educating parents about child growth and development, assisting in the implementation and execution of kishori shakti yojana, educating teenage girls and parents by organizing social awareness programs, and identifying disabilities in children. a mukhya sevika supervises between 40 and 65 anganwadi workers, providing them with on-the-job training. mukhya sevikas' other duties include keeping track of people of lower economic status benefiting from the program, in particular the malnourished; guiding the anganwadi workers in assessing children's age and weight and plotting their weight; demonstrating effective methods of providing health and nutrition education to mothers; and maintaining statistics on anganwadis and their workers to determine what can be improved. the mukhya sevikas report to the child development projects. despite decades of impressive growth, india has an acute shortage of doctors. the doctor population ratio in 2013 was 1:1800; the recommended level is 1:1000. through the anganwadi system, the country is trying to meet its goal of providing affordable and accessible healthcare to local populations. anganwadi workers have the advantage over the physicians living in the same rural area, which gives them insight into the state of health in the locality and assists in identifying the cause of problems and in countering them. they also have better social skills and can therefore more easily interact with the local people. as locals, they know and are comfortable with the local language and ways, are acquainted with the people, and are trusted. public policy discussions have taken place over whether to make anganwadis universally available to all eligible children and mothers who want their children there. this would require significant increases in budgetary allocation and a rise in the number of anganwadis to over 16 lakh. the officers and their helpers who staff anganwadis are typically women from poor families. the workers do not have permanent jobs with comprehensive retirement benefits like other government staff. worker protests (by the all india anganwadi workers federation) and public debates on this topic are ongoing. there are periodic reports of corruption and crimes against women in some anganwadi centers. there are legal and societal issues when anganwadi-serviced children fall sick or die. in announcing the 2008-2009 budget, then indian finance minister p. chidambaram stated that salaries would be increased for anganwadi workers to ₹15000 per month and for helpers to ₹6500 per month. in his budget speech for the financial year 2011-2012, his successor pranab mukherjee announced that the salary of anganwadi workers would be increased to ₹3000 per month and for helpers to ₹1500 per month — about one tenth of the salary of a government office assistant. in march 2008 there was debate about whether packaged foods (such as biscuits) should become part of the food served. detractors, including nobel prize winner amartya sen, argued against it, saying that it will become the only food consumed by the children. options for increasing partnership with the private sector are continuing. in a major initiative, the work of anganwadis is to be digitised, starting with the 27 most-backward districts in uttar pradesh: bihar, madhya pradesh, rajasthan, odisha and andhra pradesh. anganwadis will be provided with tablet computers to record data that will be integrated with the health ministry, which is involved in carrying out immunisation, health check-ups, and nutrition education under integrated child development services. the integrated child development services scheme did not have provision for construction of awc buildings as this was envisaged to be provided by the community except for the north eastern states. for them, financial support was provided for construction of awc buildings since 2001-02 at a unit cost of ₹175,000. as part of the strengthening and restructuring the icds scheme, the government approved a provision of construction of 200,000 anganwadi centre buildings at a cost of ₹450,000 per unit during xii plan period in a phased manner with a cost sharing ratio of 75:25 between centre and states (other than the ner, where it will be at 90:10). further, construction of awc has been notified as a permissible activity under the mahatma gandhi national rural employment guarantee act (mnrega). the construction of awc buildings can be taken up in convergence with mnrega. unicef and the un millennium development goals of reducing infant mortality and improving maternal care are the impetus for increasing focus on the anganwadis. workers and helpers are expected to be trained per who standards. george edmund thompson (born 27 may 1945) is a former australian politician, who served as the member for rockdale in the nsw state parliament. thompson went to school at marist brothers, kogarah and after finishing, got a job at the rural bank. while working at the bank, he became interested in industrial relations and trade unions, completing courses at sydney and harvard universities. in 1974, he was elected secretary of the australian bank employees union (state bank branch). when the former nsw premier and member for rockdale barrie unsworth stepped down in 1991, thompson (who had been unsworth's campaign manager) was elected to replace him. he was a member of the nsw parliament for twelve years, before stepping down at the 2003 state election. he is married with a son and a daughter. cottrell is an unincorporated crossroads community in north clackamas county, oregon, united states. it was founded by georgia (maiden name cottrell. ) andrews, the wife of charles ida andrews (married 1893). georgia and her mother carrie arabella (townsley) cottrell moved to oregon from milwaukee, wisconsin after georgia's father and carrie's husband george cottrell, was killed in a railroad accident. georgia typically went by and wrote her name as 'georgie'. there was a cottrell post office from 1894 until 1904; it probably closed when rural free delivery was extended to the area. there is also a cottrell road and a cottrell school a mile east of the locale, and there was a cottrell station on the defunct mount hood electric railway line about a mile to the north. the now-abandoned station was across the county line in multnomah county. georgia and her mother carrie both died in ashland, in 1953 and 1943 respectively. ailill cruitire mac áedo sláine (died 634) was a king of brega from the síl náedo sláine branch of the southern ui neill. he was the son of the high king áed sláine mac diarmato (died 604). his byname meant "harper". the exact date of his accession to brega is not mentioned in the annals. he was contemporary to his brother congal mac áedo sláine, who was called king of brega in the annals, whereas ailill was not. the annals mention that in 634 ailill and his brother congal were defeated and slain at the battle of loch trethin at fremainn (loch drethin at frewin hill, county westmeath) by the same conall guthbinn of the clann cholmáin who had slain their father. congal is recorded as king of brega in the annals regarding this event, ailill is not. a poem in the "book of leinster", however, claims that ailill was slain at the battle of áth goan in western liffey during a leinster civil war in 633. the victor was again conall guthbinn and his ally fáelán mac colmáin (died 666?) of the uí dúnlainge. ailill's son dlúthach was ancestor of the síl ndlúthaig sept, or as fir cúl breg, men of the churches of brega. his grandson áed mac dlúthaig (died 701) was a king of fir cúl. ise grand shrine has continued the tradition of rebuilding every 20 years, into an adjacent land with exactly the same specifications since the time of empress jitō in the end of the 7th century. similarly, the tradition of replacing old sacred treasures with new ones of exactly the same specifications has continued. this tradition is based on the idea of in shinto, that new objects have stronger divine power. there are 1576 sacred treasures that are renewed every 20 years, and sugari no ontachi is the most important sacred treasure along with in the sword category. however, because the scabbards and hanging belts of sugari no ontachi and tamamaki no ontachi were made in a characteristic style in the heian period after the end of the 8th century, these swords did not exist at the beginning of shikinen sengu in 690, and it is possible that they were added to the sacred treasures or their designs were changed in later years. a part of the name of "sugari no ontachi", is characterized by a curved blade, but the shape of the sugari no ontachi is similar to a straight . as sugari no ontachi is used for religious services, it is much more gorgeous than swords for actual fighting. the exterior is decorated with fine gold sculptures, multiple bells, crystal, glass, agate and amber, and two crested ibis feathers. at the 61st shikinen sengu in 1993, the japanese crested ibis was on the verge of extinction and it was thought that it would be impossible to obtain feathers, but the feathers kept by donors were taken over and they were secured until the 62nd shikinen sengu in 2013. until the meiji period, the sacred treasures were dedicated to kami in the main hall for 20 years, and then kept in the treasure house for another 20 years to serve as a model for the manufacturing of sacred treasures in later years, and then burned or buried in the shrine grounds. after the opening of the , the old sacred treasures removed from the treasure house exhibited at special exhibitions in the jingu chokokan museum and other museums. recently, from october 2015 to october 2016, the old sugari no ontachi, which had been replaced, was displayed together with 9 swords including tamamaki no ontachi at jingu chokokan museum. also, old sacred treasures removed from the treasure house may be granted as an imperial gift to other shrines. the 1962 armstrong 500 was an endurance race for australian built production cars. the race was held at the phillip island circuit in victoria, australia on 21 october 1962 over 167 laps of the 3.0 mile circuit, a total of 501 miles. cars competed in four classes based on the retail price of each model. officially, only class placings were awarded but the no 21 ford falcon driven by harry firth and bob jane was recognised as "first across the line". this was the third and last armstrong 500 to be held at phillip island prior to the race being moved to the mount panorama circuit at bathurst in new south wales where it later became known as the bathurst 1000. for the 1962 race the division of classes was changed from engine capacity, used in the previous two armstrong 500's, to the purchase price (in australian pounds, the currency of the era) of the vehicle on the australian market, the intention being to allow the public to make comparisons according to their potential financial circumstances rather than approximating cars of equivalent vehicle performance. an upper limit of £2000 was established to prevent the race from becoming dominated by sports exotica. in terms of actual cars entered the changes saw the renault gordinis move up from class d to class c, while the volkswagens dropped from c to d. volkswagen would break through for their first class victory this year. class a was for cars with a purchase price of between £1251 and £2000. the class featured chrysler valiant, citroën id19, ford zephyr, studebaker lark and vauxhall velox. class b was for cars with a purchase price of between £1051 and £1250. the class was dominated by the new ford falcon xl but also feature austin freeway and holden ej. class c was for cars with a purchase price of between £901 and £1050. the class featured hillman minx, morris major, renault gordini and simca aronde. class d was for cars with a purchase price of less than £900. the class featured ford anglia, morris 850, triumph herald and volkswagen. in a pointer towards the future the race results outright order was dominated by the new xl series ford falcon were three of the first four cars home, led by the factory supported car of defending race champions harry firth and bob jane. on the same lap as firth/jane was the class a winning studebaker of fred sutherland and bill graetz, who won the class by four laps, defeating the factory supported ford zephyr being driven by geoff russell and david anderson, denying them of a third consecutive class victory. the performance of the big studebaker was noteworthy in that while larks continued to be entered into the race until 1968 this was as close as they would get to an outright victory. in class c one of the renault gordini's won despite being the victims of the new class structure with rex emmett, john connolly and brian sampson racing to a four lap victory. sampson in particular would become a fixture of the race in the next two decades, which after demolishing the 1974 field only to blow their engine, would finally win the race outright in 1975 as peter brock's co-driver. there are some reports that the class c winning renault gordini driven by emmett, connolly and sampson was disqualified after the race along with the second placed morris 850 in class d driven by allen and hooker. however their original placing are still shown in the list of official results. this is likely due to the scrutineers taking days to finalise their results followed by protests by the entrants at their exclusions. the completed results were widely published before the disqualifications were finally enforced thus many subsequent publications show an incorrect finishing order including bill tuckey's "australia's greatest motor race". this would make the morris major driven by edney and fayer the correct winner of class c. jim mckeown, an emerging star in small bore touring cars, and george reynolds took their volkswagen to the class d victory, beating the leading mini by a lap. reynolds too had an outright victory in store in just two years time in 1964. the toil placed on the cold mix bitumen surface by the race, with the largest entry the race had seen, overwhelmed the phillip island racetrack. dangerous potholes formed all around the circuit, leaving a hefty repair bill, and an ominous threat to the future growth of the race. staying at phillip island, as attractive as other factors presented, was plainly impossible and the search began by the promoters for a new home for the increasingly popular endurance production car race. earlier the same year the bathurst six hour classic had been held at the mount panorama circuit near bathurst (won by a daimler not eligible to run in the armstrong), and that circuit immediately entered speculation. the fike model e was a light aircraft built in the united states in the early 1970s. designed by airline pilot william fike, it was a conventional high-wing cantilever monoplane with tailskid undercarriage and seating for one or two people in an enclosed cabin. the wing was an unusual geodesic wooden construction and was of far greater chord than typical for an aircraft of this type; indeed, one of the purposes of building the aircraft was to investigate the characteristics of a wing of such low aspect ratio (3.0). the empennage was taken from a piper cub, but was modified to reduce its span to make it suitable for towing on the road. plans were made available for homebuilders in the mid 1970s. borova or borová (cyrillic: борова) may refer to the following places: "i'm happy to be (on this mountain)" is the first single by irish band tír na nóg. it was released on october 2, 1970 by chrysalis records and distributed by island records on 7" vinyl with "let my love grow" as its b-side. the german release of the single has an island logo on a pink label although the chrysalis logo also appears. robert raymond pfeil (born november 13, 1943), is a former professional baseball third baseman, who played in major league baseball (mlb) in and for the new york mets and philadelphia phillies,respectively. he threw and batted right-handed. he attended reseda high school, making the varsity team his junior year. originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the chicago cubs in 1961, pfeil was traded with hal gilson to the st. louis cardinals for bob humphreys on april 7, 1965. before the start of the 1968 season, he was sent from the cardinals to the mets in an unknown transaction. he made his big league debut at the age of 25 on june 26, 1969 against pitcher grant jackson and the rest of the philadelphia phillies. pfeil went 1-for-4 in his debut, although jackson shut the mets out 2-0 and held them to just four hits. in addition, he collected ten strikeouts in that game. pfeil did well during the first two weeks of his debut - he was hitting .333 on july 4 - but by july 31 his batting average had slumped to .232. coincidentally, that is what his final batting average for the season would end up being. after july 31, he was able to pull his average above .240 only once, and he let is slip down to .217 at one point. however, after going 3-for-6 in the final two games of the season, he brought his average up to its final mark of .232. in 211 at-bats, he also scored 20 runs, drove 10 runs in, doubled nine times, tripled and homered zero times, walked seven times and struck out 27 times. although the mets reached the playoffs and eventually won the world series in 1969, pfeil neither appeared in the playoffs or the fall classic. however, when president nixon attended a world series game, pfeil lent him his glove for protection. on may 26, 1970, pfeil was sent as the player to be named later to the phillies to complete a trade that occurred originally on april 10 of that year. in return for pfeil, the mets received ron allen. pfeil would not appear in the majors in 1970, however by 1971 he was back in a major league uniform. he appeared in 44 games for the phillies that year, collecting 19 hits in 70 at-bats for a .271 batting average. he played his final game on september 6 against the cardinals as a defensive replacement. he made his big league debut against the philadelphia phillies while playing for the new york mets. coincidentally, he ended up facing the mets while playing for the philadelphia phillies in his final career at-bat, on september 5. overall in his big league career, he played in 106 games, collecting 68 hits in 281 at-bats for a .242 batting average. he had 12 doubles, no triples and two home runs to go along with 25 runs, 19 rbi, one stolen base, 13 walks and 36 strikeouts. he had a .976 career fielding percentage. although he did not play in the majors after 1971, he was still active in the minor leagues. on february 8, 1972, he was traded to the milwaukee brewers for a player to be named later, who ended up being minor leaguer chico vaughns. on march 20 of that year, he was purchased by the boston red sox from the brewers. the 1990 afl foster's cup was the australian football league pre-season cup competition played in its entirety before the 1990 season began. west coast replaced brisbane, who were forced to withdraw due to financial problems and a player's strike. last summer at mars hill is the first short story collection by american writer elizabeth hand. it contains the nebula award-winning story of the same name. it also contains her first ever published story, "prince of flowers". many of the stories have themes that prefigure those of her novels. for example, "the bacchae" is thematically similar to aspects of "waking the moon" and "prince of flowers" 'grew into the poisonous bloom of winterlong'. "in the month of athyr" is set in the same universe as hand's first three novels. all of the stories were previously published in various magazines. the flaglor scooter is an unusual light aircraft designed in the united states in the mid-1960s and marketed for homebuilding. the scooter is a high-wing, wire-braced monoplane with the engine installed on the wing leading edge, above and in front of the pilot's seat. it features weled steel tube or wooden fuselage construction with fabric covering and short legged conventional landing gear. the wing uses wooden ribs and a dual spar construction with wire bracing. it was originally intended to be powered by a cushman golf buggy engine, but this was found to be inadequate and a huggins volkswagen automotive engine conversion was used to replace it. demonstrated at the 1967 eaa annual fly-in at rockford, illinois, the design won "outstanding ultralight" and "outstanding volkswagen-powered aircraft" awards. plans were put on sale shortly thereafter. the 1991 afl foster's cup was the australian football league pre-season cup competition played in its entirety before the 1991 season began. in 2008, intimate and private photographs of hong kong actor edison chen with various women, including actresses gillian chung, bobo chan, rachel ngan, and cecilia cheung, were unlawfully distributed over the internet. the scandal shook the hong kong entertainment industry and received high-profile media attention locally and around the world. many local newspapers headlined the story consecutively during the first fortnight of february 2008, relegating coverage of the 2008 chinese winter storms to secondary prominence during chinese new year. in a crackdown which itself became a controversial item, the hong kong police enlisted the assistance of interpol to stem the spread of the photographs. ten people were arrested in connection with the distribution of the photographs. a computer technician was convicted of three counts of obtaining access to a computer with dishonest intent, and received a custodial sentence of eight and a half months. the police crackdown raised questions over violations of the privacy and free speech rights of internet users. the manner in which actors, their management, and the police handled the situation, in turn, made those arrested into heroes for some internet users. chen admitted being the author and copyright owner of most of the photographs, and stated that the private photographs had been stolen and published illegally without his consent. he made a public apology, especially to the women involved, and also announced that he would "step away indefinitely" from the hong kong entertainment industry. in november 2006, chen purchased a pink powerbook personal computer, a photograph of which he published on his blog. it may have come from "elite multimedia", a computer shop in hong kong's central district. according to the police, chen brought his computer to the shop for repairs in 2007. employees who discovered over 1,300 intimate photographs of chen and numerous female celebrities may have secretly copied these files. according to chen, the image files were deleted before the computer was taken in for repairs. chen's photographs were reportedly made some time between 2003 and 2006. one close friend indicated that chen liked to take photographs during intimate moments with his sexual partners, of whom 14 were celebrities, and privately showed these to a select group of close friends. the first intimate photograph, with likenesses of chen and gillian chung, was posted on the hong kong discuss forum at approximately 8:30 p.m. on 27 january 2008. although the original post was deleted after a few hours, the image did the rounds at other major forums in hong kong such as uwants and hkgolden. chung's management agency, emperor entertainment group (eeg), immediately challenged its authenticity, and filed a police report. the following day, a second explicit photograph of chen with another starlet appeared on the internet. eeg denounced the person who released it. gillian chung had taken a leave of absence, and would not comment on the matter. shaped by the denials, the initial media consensus was that the photographs were hoaxes. nevertheless, the story became the headline of major local hong kong newspapers. over a few hours on 29 january, several more photographs appeared on the internet. on one, journals identified cecilia cheung from her distinctive tattoo set. the photographs became the talk of the town, and local discussion forums became saturated. journals established with known video footage that the photographs were taken inside chen's residence. nevertheless, cheung's solicitors denounced the upload as a "malicious, immoral and irresponsible act". assistant commissioner of police (crime) vincent wong fook-chuen said that 19 officers from the commercial crime bureau were investigating. the police and photographic experts authenticated the photos involving the first three female celebrities. police requested internet service providers to stamp out all local traces of the as yet unclassified "offensive material". related discussion threads were progressively deleted. the police retrieved the ip addresses of more than 30 internet users who allegedly posted photographs. after the exposure of the eighth photograph, chen quietly left hong kong and flew to boston. on 4 february, chen released a 90-second video clip in english in which he took responsibility and apologised to those who may have been affected by the posting of photographs. on 6 february, a forum user leaked hundreds more photographs in defiance of the police. the uploader, dubbed by the public as "kira", promised to release a 32-minute video the next day. two days later, three pictures of a young woman showering appeared on the internet. the subject was rapidly identified as 18-year-old vincy yeung, chen's girlfriend and niece of albert yeung, chairman of eeg. the police confirmed these three images were among the 1,300 photographs known to them. having said there were only six participants, the police explained the appearance of a seventh, saying that her photographs had been erroneously grouped with one of the other females. gillian chung was the first starlet to make a public appearance. after a new year celebration with fans on 11 february, she delivered a brief statement to the press in which she apologised for the hurt caused to those around her. emperor sought closure by stating that neither it nor any of its artists would be making any further statement about the incident. the press conference drew mixed response from the media and the public. an "apple daily" commentary was particularly scathing about the hypocrisy of chung and of her management company for only obliquely hinting at her "licentiousness". on 14 february, two new nude photographs surfaced – one featuring an unidentified woman fellating chen, and another showed a woman lying on a bed. chen returned to hong kong on 21 february, and immediately held a press conference asking for forgiveness and announcing his indefinite departure from the hong kong entertainment industry. chen confirmed that the photographs belonged to him and were private, and stated that they were obtained without his consent and then made public. his lawyer emphasised that reproduction whether in whole or in part would constitute copyright infringement. chen was questioned by police for several days consecutively, and "sing tao daily" revealed that a cache of computer disks and other storage devices containing in excess of 10,000 images were found in chen's residence. media reported that five "new" celebrities had been identified by police, who gave only cryptic descriptions. investigations were said to have been hampered by chen's caution, and by the lack of co-operation of the "new" female victims: some had left town, and one had already publicly denied her involvement. chen denied that he had been blackmailed. over the course of the two-week period, a total of over a hundred images each of gillian chung, bobo chan, candice chan, and cecilia cheung fellating him were exposed, as well as chen performing cunnilingus to chung; there were also approximately another hundred nude photos featuring various others, namely mandy chen, rachel ngan, maggie q and vincy yeung, who was photographed while taking a bath. on 31 january 2008, an unemployed man identified as 29-year-old chung yik-tin (鍾亦天) was arrested for allegedly uploading one image; 12 pictures were found on his computer. the next day he was arraigned but denied bail because he was suspected of blackmailing the actor and actresses. chung yik-tin spent chinese new year in detention. after investigating the connection between the suspect and artists, the police were satisfied that blackmail was not involved. chung was unconditionally released from detention on 15 february, and charges against him were dropped. on 2 february, police arrested four men and two women in connection with the distribution of the photographs. of the six, three men and a woman were released on hk$20,000 (us$2,560) bail and ordered to report back to the police in eight weeks. on 4 february, a 29-year-old man became the eighth person to be detained in connection with the disseminating of nude photos; 23-year-old sze ho-chun (史可雋) was also arrested. he was charged with "dishonest use of computers with criminal intent", which has a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment. sze appeared in eastern court on 5 february, where he denied the charge and was released on hk$50,000 bail. the case was adjourned to 22 february. assistant commissioner wong said the source of the pictures had been traced, but he would not confirm reports stating that they had been taken from chen's computer. he added that the authenticity of the photographs was no longer in question. wong also said of the six women found in the photographs, four were local celebrities and two were unknown to the police. none of the women were named. wong was certain that no overseas artists were involved. he said that whilst it was not a crime to transfer the pictures to friends, those who had posted the images to internet web pages could be in breach of the law. on 5 february, as another of the suspects was released on hk$50,000 bail, six more related photographs surfaced on the internet. in the early hours on chinese new year's eve, several hundred more photographs appeared on the internet; there were two new faces. arrest number ten occurred on 10 february. kwok chun-wai, a 24-year-old logistics clerk, had allegedly posted the link to a local discussion forum after uploading a compressed file containing over a hundred images to a site in cyprus. kwok was released on hk$10,000 bail. he pleaded guilty to three counts of publishing an obscene article. on 24 july 2008, he was sentenced to two months in prison, suspended for two years. web sites on the mainland are usually more sensitive to political issues than to pornography, and for several weeks major sites such as baidu permitted the images to be disseminated. during this time, photographs were also posted on the popular mainland china chat room, tianya club, and had been viewed nearly 20 million times a day. around 20 february however, mainland sites took action to prevent access to the photos. a crackdown began in neighbouring guangdong province on the manufacturing, selling and spreading the cd-roms of the celebrity photos, which sold "like hotcakes" in shenzhen. police arrested 10 people suspected of the production in shenzhen. police in beijing announced on 21 february that it would act to stop the circulation of the photographs. officials declared that showing the photos to friends or posting them on blogs or online forums, even without profit motive, could be punishable by detention for up to 15 days; transmission of more than 200 of the photos as a package on the internet would be met with criminal prosecution. a taiwanese man aged 24, huang wei-lun, was arrested in taipei county on suspicion of posting the explicit photos and videos in his blog and instructing net surfers how to download the images. police in kaohsiung warned of the two-year penalty for selling pornographic cds, and raided shops and arcades where discs of edison chen's photographs have been selling slowly, for . one observer remarked that young people did not buy discs as they can get the photographs easily from the internet. on 2 february, commissioner of police tang king shing warned that anyone with the pictures on their computer "could be" in breach of the law, even if there was no record of distribution. this led to an immediate objection by lawmaker "long hair" leung kwok-hung, who led a protest of about two dozen people outside police headquarters in wan chai. they accused the police of sowing confusion and creating an atmosphere of "white terror" among netizens. leung urged commissioner tang to clarify whether merely keeping the pictures violated the law. some opinions disagree on distributing the photos. the denial of bail for chung yik-tin sparked controversy over the subjective application of the law. legislator ronny tong accused the police of humiliating a suspect by their excessively hasty actions. the police's selectiveness in this case, as compared with previous cases of pornography distribution on the internet, was also the focus of public attention. the local chairman of the internet society and legislator regina ip said that it was inevitable that police would apply the law selectively, for it would be impractical to take action against every person who had committed an offence in hong kong. commentary in the newspaper "ming pao" also remarked on the widespread outrage about the perceived selective application of legal principles – that a person charged with an apparently minor offence being denied bail whilst two others, unnamed, with allegedly heavier involvement in the spread of the photographs were allowed out on bail. a commentary in "apple daily" decried the "clear intimidation of netizens" by the police, and for arresting people without bringing the alleged main source and victim (chen) for interrogation. while publishing an "obscene" (淫褻) article carries a maximum sentence of 3 years, an "indecent" (不雅) article only carries a maximum sentence of 12 months. "ming pao" revealed on 14 february that it had received interim classification from the obscene articles tribunal (oat) relating to five photographs it had submitted for opinion. three of these photographs were classified as "indecent" while two were considered "obscene". the only photograph which was in circulation on 27 january, allegedly posted by chung yik-tin, was "indecent". thus, the journal raised the question that chung may have been charged with a wrong offence. also, the law applies only after oat's classification. since the police arrested and charged chung before classification, some viewed the arrest as unlawful. an assistant professor at the university of hong kong questioned whether an amended charge of "publishing an indecent article" applied to photographs uploaded onto the internet. although chen agreed to co-operate with the authorities, he refused to return to hong kong to give evidence in the trial. a team of four lawyers and a magistrate were thus flown out to vancouver, british columbia, canada for a hearing beginning on 23 february 2009 at taxpayers' expense. legislator ronny tong questioned the "extravagancy" of this hearing, and suggested there may be an easier and cheaper way to collect chen's evidence. during the hearing, which was presided over by supreme court of british columbia justice elaine adair, with hong kong's chief magistrate tong man (唐文) as co-commissioner, chen confirmed that cecilia cheung, gillian chung, bobo chan and rachel ngan were indeed involved. he testified that the photographs, taken from 2001 to 2006, were consensual, and were only shown to the women involved. he professed his "huge shock" at seeing the images on the internet, citing that he had deleted the images before sending his computer in for repairs in summer of 2006. computer technician sze ho-chun was convicted on 13 may 2009 of three counts of obtaining access to a computer with dishonest intent, and received a custodial sentence of eight and a half months. however, there was no evidence that he uploaded the pictures to the internet. on 3 february, a small group led by leung kwok-hung protested the abuse of power by the police. one week later, there was a larger protest demonstrated against alleged "discriminatory" law enforcement against internet users. the involvement of local celebrities led to complaints that the wave of arrests were indicative of a legal double standard: protesters claimed that the police failed to investigate other cases of nude photos being published without their subject's permission. approximately 300 people marched on police headquarters in wan chai. they petitioned the police to apologise publicly, to release chung yik-tin, to stop "an abuse of power", and also demanded the resignation of commissioner tang. in the wake of the scandal, citizens also became more concerned about the integrity of the law. and that some were clearly more equal than others in hong kong. the police were widely criticised for their handling of the case: in a survey by the "south china morning post", some 48 percent of respondents believed the police had created unnecessary fear among the internet community, and a similar percentage were dissatisfied with the police handling of the case. however, assistant commissioner wong insisted that they had "not departed from normal practices" and had "acted correctly under the laws". as a consequence of the scandal, chen was pulled from the upcoming stephen fung movie "jump"; credit card company manhattan titanium withdrew all advertisements featuring chen, and chen's appearance in "the dark knight" was downgraded to a cameo. the "la times" reported that pepsi china, standard chartered bank, samsung, levi's and the hong kong metro, had dropped chen or declined to renew ad campaigns involving him. a hundred police officers were present throughout chen's press conference on 21 february, and some citizens complained about the waste of manpower. the police emphasised the importance of maintaining public order in light of the great public and media interest in the case. the triads reportedly offered a hk$500,000 reward to anybody who hacked off chen's hand. this contributed to fears for chen's safety upon his return, and heavy police protection. on 12 march 2009, after chen had appeared at a publicity event in singapore, a threatening letter said to have originated in the us containing a bullet was delivered to a cable tv station mailbox. secretary for security ambrose lee said violence or intimidation would not be tolerated. emperor declared that gillian chung was on sick leave following the incident, hong kong disneyland resort dropped the use of a twins music video for the celebration of the chinese new year because of chung's involvement in the controversy. preparations for the twins concerts in hong kong, originally scheduled for 12–16 april, were postponed. chung's appearance at a charity programme on 17 february met with around 2,100 complaints to the broadcasting authority, 373 to tvb, and 202 to the television and entertainment licensing authority (tela). the broadcasting authority passed all the correspondence received to tvb. on 26 february 2008, the "south china morning post", citing the dalian evening news, reported that chung and nicholas tse (husband of cecilia cheung) had been dropped from the beijing olympics opening ceremony by artistic director zhang yimou. tse did appear at the closing ceremony, sharing the stage with jackie chan, emil chau, andy lau, and others. twins "temporarily" dissolved in late june 2008, four months after gillian was caught up in the scandal. she recused herself from public for more than a year following the incident and later apologised for hurting the people around her. during the hiatus, she took classes in many areas which she hoped would serve her professionally. during the course of her disappearance from public view, fellow twins member charlene choi twice publicly denied rumours of suicide attempts by chung. chung revealed she decided that suicide would not have solved any problems; she said her mother was supportive of her quitting the industry. interviewed in an episode of tvb's be my guest in march 2009, chung admitted she loved chen, and let him take photos of them engaging in sex because she feared to lose him. it was reported that chung, under contract with emperor entertainment group in 2008, did not receive any salary for the duration of the scandal, and even struggled to pay rent. after chen's statement to court, cheung broke silence in the matter on a televised interview on icable on 27 february. she heavily criticised chen for shedding crocodile tears, saying that he had not returned calls and had switched off his telephone when the incident came to light. she accused him of hypocrisy in a bid to win the public's forgiveness while hurting others caught up in the scandal. she denied rumours of a rift with her husband and in-laws. taiwanese pop stars jolin tsai and elva hsiao, who have collaborated with chen on various projects, fearing damage to their reputations from rumours, both issued statements through their agents that they had "never been involved with chen". they each issued "rewards" of ($3.3 million) defying anyone to come forward with legally authenticated photographs. the scandal has shocked the general public and ignited debate about sexual morality. the blanket coverage of the local press, their reporting style, and the appearance of photographs has also been met with public complaints to tela. tela suspected that at least two journals violated the obscene articles ordinance, and sent copies of issue no. 936 of "next magazine" and issue no. 531 of the "oriental sunday" magazine to the oat for classification. the tribunal returned an interim classification of "class i", meaning the magazines were "neither obscene nor indecent", and tela demanded a full public hearing to review its decision. the oat, the method of selecting its adjudicators, and the obscene articles ordinance, came under fire. it reportedly classified michelangelo's ""david"" as "indecent" by adhering rigidly to a definition. the images reached china mostly through an image-sharing service on baidu ("tieba"). beijing network news council (bnnc) held a meeting on 18 february to discuss the "romantic pictures", and criticised baidu for spreading the pictures. other web sites that actively discouraged the photo distribution, namely sohu, sina and netease, were praised by bncc. the 1992 afl foster's cup was the australian football league pre-season cup competition played in its entirety before the 1992 season began. john

richlin's father is the script writer maurice richlin. the american artist collaborative, anonima group, was founded in cleveland, ohio in 1960 by ernst benkert, francis hewitt and ed mieczkowski. propelled by their rejection of the cult of the ego and automatic style of the abstract expressionists, the artists worked collaboratively on grid-based, spatially fluctuating drawings and paintings that were precise investigations of the scientific phenomena and psychology of optical perception. the work was accompanied by writings: proposals, projects and manifestos - socialist in nature - which the artists considered essential to the experience and understanding of their work. their drawings, paintings and writings, which had much in common with the positions of artist ad reinhardt, and with the russian constructivists, were included in the 1965 "responsive eye" exhibit at the museum of modern art. along with other artists in the exhibit, anonima's work was incorrectly relegated to what came to be the highly commercialized and publicized category of op art. a recent reconsideration and recontextualization of op art, the expansive 2006 optic nerve exhibit at the columbus museum of art, places the anonima as the sole american collaborative group, along with the european zero group, gruppo n, grav and others, who were examining new optical information at that time. francis hewitt, who had a masters in art and later did course work toward a phd in the psychology of perception, provided the conceptual framework for the anonima group; their projects addressed the latest information about the science and psychology of visual perception. anonima's anti-commercial stance (see statement below), including their ultimate refusal to interact with the commercial artworld, had the effect of removing them from the lexicon of known artists from that time. in a catalog essay for frank hewitt's 1992 retrospective at the robert hull fleming museum in burlington, vermont, william c. lipke wrote that the artists believed that "commercialization and popularization obfuscated the real issues" being addressed by their work. further he writes that work by anonima is "better understood in light of the theories and data of perceptual psychology; the commitment to a systemic study of visual information irrespective of stylistic or economic pressures." the anonima group disbanded in 1971, but the effect of their work has extended into the present through their writing, drawings and paintings. the group's analytical and impersonal view of the creative process was balanced by a profound generosity of spirit which has influenced countless artists over the years; all three artists have had long teaching careers (frank hewitt died in 1992), in which they dedicated themselves to providing art students with a precise understanding of the constructs of optical perception, an invaluable foundation for any artist. their ideas are reflected in the work of many contemporary artists. in functional analysis, the dunford–pettis property, named after nelson dunford and b. j. pettis, is a property of a banach space stating that all weakly compact operators from this space into another banach space are completely continuous. many standard banach spaces have this property, most notably, the space "c"("k") of continuous functions on a compact space and the space "l"("μ") of the lebesgue integrable functions on a measure space. alexander grothendieck introduced the concept in the early 1950s , following the work of dunford and pettis, who developed earlier results of shizuo kakutani, kōsaku yosida, and several others. important results were obtained more recently by jean bourgain. nevertheless, the dunford–pettis property is not completely understood. a banach space "x" has the dunford–pettis property if every continuous weakly compact operator "t": "x" → "y" from "x" into another banach space "y" transforms weakly compact sets in "x" into norm-compact sets in "y" (such operators are called completely continuous). an important equivalent definition is that for any weakly convergent sequences ("x") of "x" and ("f") of the dual space "x", converging (weakly) to "x" and "f", the sequence "f"("x") converges to "f(x)". center township is a township in doniphan county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 1,743.

it to ian as a gift, ian in turn gave birth to the five minor gods: roha, gale, marea, flox, and silva. ian set his creations, known by scholars as "the lesser/lower gods" down on the earth and each of these gods in turn created a race for this new world. roha created the humans, gale created the giants, marea the elves, flox created dökkálfar and dark elves, and silva the halflings. the lesser gods placed their creations on separate regions of rohan, but ohn felt this task was too important to be left in the hands of the lesser gods, so ohn created dragons to divide and patrol the regions. peace insured in this early time, but like in all things, everything good must come to an end. in the human kingdom, claut del lagos (believed by many scholars to be the world's first dhan) assassinates his older brother, penkel del lagos (king at that time), and usurps power. thirteen long years later, the late king's son, selio del lagos, forms a rebellion and ends claut's regimen. claut and his followers flee to an island in the northern reaches of rohan and settle there, and called themselves as dhans. the elf queen calls for a gathering of the races, but only the humans and halflings show up. the giants and dark elves have formed a secret alliance in order to cleanse rohan of the humans and elves. when the humans, halflings, and elves counter this by allying themselves, the giants extend their hands to the half elves. the dhan and dekan, having already lost many in their ten-year war remain neutral as this new war unfolds, but their land is now being threatened by monsters from all sides. the story progresses and determined by the outcome of in-game events dubbed as story arc event. successful events rewards players with experience or drop modifiers, depending on the gm. rohan: blood feud is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that allows players to play with another character within the game world, explore lands, kill monsters, engage in

and area ii, west hawaii, which includes north kohala, south kohala, north kona, south kona, and ka'ū, an area of . each district is headed by a police captain, and each area by a commander. as with the honolulu police department, hawaii county police has a fleet of marked police cars as well as subsidized police cars, meaning they allow officers to use their personally owned vehicles as police cars. department subsidized vehicles are made distinguishable as on duty police vehicles by the addition of a removable blue strobe beacon light strapped to the roof of the vehicle. this has prompted controversy within the local community as many residents and police officers would prefer to have dedicated and fully marked fleet of police vehicles. however, the county believes this would be a cost prohibitive expense to take on all at one time and believes it would be financially prudent to continue subsidizing the police officers with a stipend to pay for a police vehicle. many police officers view this as an additional incentive or benefit of the job. in a recent effort to promote higher visibility, the department increased the stipend by an additional $50/month if the vehicle the officer uses in their daily police use is white in color. police departments on the islands of kauai & maui who also at one time had a similar program for subsidizing police vehicles have mostly stopped using the subsidized program and their fleets are now fully marked. the kauai police dept. does have a few subsidized vehicles as of 2014. erich leo lehmann (20 november 1917 – 12 september 2009) was an american statistician, who made a major contribution to nonparametric hypothesis testing. he is one of the eponyms of the lehmann–scheffé theorem and of the hodges–lehmann estimator of the median of a population. lehmann was born in strasbourg, alsace-lorraine in 1917 to a family of ashkenazi jewish ancestry. he grew up in frankfurt am main, germany, until the machtergreifung in 1933 his family fled to switzerland to escape the nazis. he graduated from high school in zurich, and studied mathematics for two years at trinity college, cambridge. following that, he emigrated to the united states, arriving in new york in late 1940. he enrolled in university of california, berkeley as a post-graduate student—albeit without a prior degree—in 1941. lehmann obtained his ma in mathematics in 1942 and his phd (under jerzy neyman) in 1946, at the university of california, berkeley, where he taught from 1942. from august 1944 to august 1945 he worked as an operations analyst for the united states air force on guam. he taught at columbia university and at princeton university during 1950–51, and then during 1951–1952 he was a visiting associate professor at stanford university. he was an editor of "the annals of mathematical statistics" and president of the institute of mathematical statistics, and a member of the american academy of arts and sciences and the national academy of science. in 1977 he married another statistician, juliet popper shaffer, whom he had met four years earlier as the sponsor to her sabbatical visit to berkeley. in the same year, shaffer moved from being a psychology professor at the university of kansas to a lecturer position in statistics at berkeley. in 1997, on the occasion of his eightieth birthday, the department of statistics at the university of california at berkeley created the erich lehmann fund in statistics to support the students of the department. the 2002 wizard home loans cup was the australian football league competition played in its entirety before the australian football league's 2002 premiership season began. the afl national cup is also sometimes referred to as the pre-season cup because it is played in its entirety before the premiership season begins. teams were split into 4 groups, each comprising 4 teams. each team would play the other three teams in its group once, with the winners of the four groups advancing to the semi finals. port adelaide won their second pre-season cup defeating richmond in the final. ! group 1 ! group 2 ! group 3 ! group 4 the promised land (, ) is an 1899 novel by the polish author and nobel laureate, władysław reymont; first published in warsaw. it is considered one of his most important works after "the peasants". the novel "the promised land" was originally published as installments in the industrial city of łódź by the daily "kurier codzienny" from 1897 to 1898. set in łódź, "the promised land" tells the story of three close friends and ruthless young industrialists: a pole, a german and a jew, struggling to build their own factory in the heartless world of the late 19th century labour exploitation. reymont's novel vividly paints a portrait of the rapid industrialization of łódź and its cruel effects on workers and mill owners. reymont writes: "for that 'promised land' – for that tumor – villages were deserted, forests died out, the land was depleted of its treasures, the rivers dried up, people were born. and it sucked everything into itself. and in its powerful jaws it crushed and chewed up people and things, sky and earth, in return giving useless millions to a handful of people, and hunger and hardship to the whole throng". it was translated into english by michael henry dziewicki in 1927. karol borowiecki, a polish nobleman, is the managing engineer at the bucholz textile factory. with the help of his friends max baum, a german who is the heir to an old handloom factory, and moritz welt, an independent jewish businessman, they embark on setting up their own brand new textile plant. borowiecki's affair with lucy zucker, the wife of another textile magnate, gives him advance notice of a change in cotton tariffs and helps welt to make a killing on the hamburg futures market. however, more money has to be found so all three characters cast aside their pride to raise the necessary capital. on the day of the factory opening, borowiecki has to deny his affair with zucker's wife to a jealous husband. but while borowiecki accompanies lucy on her exile to berlin, there is a fire in the factory, which leaves borowiecki bankrupt. the same night his father dies. subsequently, borowiecki decides to break up with anka and marry mada mueller the daughter of a wealthy german industrialist. the 2003 wizard home loans cup was the australian football league competition played in its entirety before the australian football league's 2003 premiership season began. the afl national cup is also sometimes referred to as the pre-season cup because it is played in its entirety before the premiership season begins. the final was won by adelaide for the first time in its history, defeating collingwood by 31 points the afl introduced a range of innovations for this pre-season competition, the wizard home loans cup, to make the game faster and more exciting. five new rules changes were trialled in the competition, which in itself resorts back to a knock-out format after three years as a round-robin series. in the most notable innovation, players were awarded nine points for goals kicked outside the 50-metre arc in a move designed to bring the game’s longer kickers into play. the player must have his back foot on or beyond the 50m arc if kicking on the run and the player on the mark must be on or beyond the 50m arc if the kicker is taking a set shot. the ball can still bounce through for a goal. with a running shot at goal, the ball must leave the player’s back foot planted on or outside the 50m line. the other rules trialled included: in other changes, the field umpires wore orange shirts and black shorts instead of the traditional white, while goal umpires waved different coloured flags for the different scores. the new rules were used in conjunction with those incorporated last year: an expanded interchange bench, and the ball to be bounced only for the start of the match, and then thrown up. the 2004 wizard home loans cup was the australian football league competition played in its entirety before the australian football league's 2004 premiership season began. the afl national cup is also sometimes referred to as the pre-season cup because it is played in its entirety before the premiership season begins. 1. st kilda

both survive today. one is on display at the b&o railroad museum in baltimore, md; the other is at the danbury railway museum in danbury, conn. single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (sad) is a technique used in x-ray crystallography that facilitates the determination of the structure of proteins or other biological macromolecules by allowing the solution of the phase problem. in contrast to multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction, sad uses a single dataset at a single appropriate wavelength. one advantage of the technique is the minimization of time spent in the beam by the crystal, thus reducing potential radiation damage to the molecule while collecting data. sad is sometimes called "single-wavelength anomalous dispersion", but no dispersive differences are used in this technique since the data are collected at a single wavelength. two methods for providing the needed phasing information by introducing heavy atoms into isomorphous crystals: michele hicks (born june 4, 1973) is an american screen actress and former fashion model who has worked in both film and television. her television appearances include "", "", "", "cold case", "the shield" and "heist". she also appeared in the music video for the song "letting the cables sleep" by bush. in july 2008, hicks married british actor jonny lee miller in malibu, california. they have one son, buster timothy miller. capt. christopher levett (15 april 1586 – 1630) was an english writer, explorer and naval captain, born at york, england. he explored the coast of new england and secured a grant from the king to settle present-day portland, maine, the first european to do so. levett left behind a group of settlers at his maine plantation in casco bay, but they were never heard from again. their fate is unknown. as a member of the plymouth council for new england, levett was named the governor of plymouth in 1623 and a close adviser to capt. robert gorges in his attempt to found an early english colony at weymouth, massachusetts, which also failed. levett was also named an early governor of virginia in 1628, according to parliamentary records at whitehall. levett was the son of elizabeth and percival levett, a york merchant and innkeeper, and was admitted a freeman of york as a merchant himself. levett was also admitted to the company of merchant adventurers in the city of york, along with his brother percival. there is evidence that the english attempts to colonise north america caught levett's interest even while a york merchant. rev. alexander whitaker, an early anglican minister and english immigrant to the virginia colony made note in his will of 1610 that he owed a debt of some £5 to "christopher levite, a linen draper of the city of york." perhaps levett's contact with whitaker and other englishmen stoked his zeal to become an explorer. levett apparently grew restless, and instead turned his sights towards a career as an explorer. he served as his majesty's woodward of somersetshire to king james i, and wrote a tract on timber harvesting that became the standard for selection of trees for the royal navy. later, operating from his adopted home in sherborne, dorset, in the shadow of sir walter raleigh and other adventurers, levett became interested in the colonisation of new england. levett became associated with sir ferdinando gorges and was appointed to the council for new england. he was granted of land by king james i of england for a settlement in present-day maine, which levett proposed to call "york" after his birth city. on 5 may 1623, records for the council on new england say, "christopher levett to be a principal patentee; and to have a grant of of land." the next month, on 26 june 1623, the records note "the king judges well of the undertaking in new england, and more particularly of a design of christopher levett, one of the council for settling that plantation, to build a city and call it york." the king proclaimed that anglican churches across england should take up collections to add levett in his settlement attempts. levett was helped with his settlement ambitions, according to some historians, thanks to a deepening friendship with george villiers, 1st duke of buckingham, the favoured courtier who acted as advocate for the young yorkshireman. levett's alliance to a powerful patron probably accounted for levett's move to sherborne and his appointment in the royal forest in somersetshire, putting him closer to gorges and other early adventurers. on 26 june 1623, secretary of state lord conway wrote to lord scrope, president of the council of the north, urging him to assist levett in his plan to settle a plantation in new england with a company of yorkshiremen and found "a citty and call it by the name of yorke." noted the historian charles herbert levermore: "so the first new york that was planned for america was to be located in portland harbor." oblivious to the high-flying spiritual message of early puritan founders of the massachusetts bay colony, sir ferdinando gorges, his partner john mason and other merchant adventurers zeroed in on profit. from what we know of levett, he seems more nuanced: his dealings with native americans seem solicitous, especially given the era, and his first wife was the daughter of a prominent puritan rector. nevertheless, either out of an explorer's zeal or a businessman's gimlet eye, levett forged ahead. to further his plans, the naval captain embarked from england on a trip to explore the coast of new england, paying particular attention to present-day maine and new hampshire. when he returned to england, he wrote a book called "a voyage into new england, begun in 1623, and ended in 1624, performed by christopher levett, his majesty's woodward of somersetshire, and one of the council of new england." it was levett's hope to stir settlement in the new world, and he hoped as the principal patentee (and first settler) of present-day portland, maine, to benefit financially from the arrangement. on the surface, capt. levett seemed ideally placed to push such settlement. "when "a description of new england" was published in london in 1616," write charles and samuella shain of capt. john smith's book, "it was only a question of time before another enterprising spirit would arrive who would realize captain john smith's plans for founding a permanent settlement on the maine coast... better placed socially and therefore politically than john smith, levett was also richer." levett apparently had his eye on new england's thriving fisheries, which english merchants had exploited for years. the naval captain reported to gorges that with the region's best fishing in the winter months, settling a permanent colony would enable the merchant adventurers to double their profits, by enabling the ships to fish yearround. but despite his better connections, the tide of history was not in his favour. his salesmanship fell short. public interest waned, as new settlements in virginia and elsewhere took center stage. king charles i's growing problems ate away at interest in colonisation. the king's appeal for money in yorkshire parishes to support the levett scheme never yielded much. the gathering storm of roundhead rebellion put levett's benefactors under strain. in the meantime levett was assigned to more pressing matters in england. on 5 october 1625, capt. levett was at the helm of hms "susan and ellen" as part of lord wimbledon's fleet of 80 english and 16 dutch vessels sailing against the spanish fleet at cadiz. the expedition, mounted by king charles i who pressured his subjects to fund it, was an abject failure, and the fleet returned to england in disgrace. levett later complained bitterly of the experience, claiming that even as a royal navy captain, he'd been treated "no better than a meare slave" by those in charge. levett never returned to maine, and the small group of men he left behind in a stone house were never heard from again. levett's patented lands eventually passed to a group of plymouth merchants as levett's attention was diverted to more pressing naval matters. eventually levett returned to the massachusetts bay colony, where he met with governor john winthrop in 1630, and he died aboard the return voyage home. the body of the early adventurer was buried at sea, and his wife was forced to appear at a bristol court the following year to recover his effects. fort levett on cushing island, maine in portland harbor is named for this early explorer. present-day york county, maine, derives its name from capt. levett's early appellation for his maine settlement. even in death, capt. levett could not avoid the controversies roiling the age. letters he carried aboard the vessel" porcupine", addressed by john winthrop and other leaders of the massachusetts bay colony to sympathetic friends in england, fell into the hands of puritan foes in england, apparently after levett's possessions were searched after his death. the letters stirred up some measure of controversy in england for the unfavorable stance the writers took toward the english church. capt. levett had six children, four by his first wife mercy more, who was the daughter of rev. robert more, a puritan rector in guiseley, yorkshire. he married a second time to frances lottisham, daughter of oliver lottisham of somersetshire, and by her he had another two children. a son, jeremiah (jeremy), graduated from trinity college, cambridge, and became the rector of leyton, essex. his daughter sarah married the right rev. robert hitch, rector of normanton, west yorkshire and later dean of york. hurricane fox was the strongest and deadliest tropical cyclone of the below average 1952 atlantic hurricane season. the seventh tropical storm, sixth atlantic hurricane, and the third major hurricane of the season, fox was a small and intense caribbean storm that developed northwest of cartagena, colombia, in the southern caribbean sea. it moved steadily northwest, intensifying to a tropical storm on october 21. the next day, it rapidly strengthened into a hurricane and turned north. the cyclone attained peak winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) as it struck cayo guano del este off the coast of cienfuegos. fox made landfall on cuba at maximum intensity, producing peak gusts of 170–180 mph (275–290 km/h). it weakened over land, but it re-strengthened as it turned east over the bahamas. on october 26, it weakened and took an erratic path, dissipating west-southwest of bermuda on october 28. hurricane fox was the second most intense hurricane to strike cuba until hurricane michelle in the 2001 atlantic hurricane season. it was originally believed to have been the second category 4 hurricane in cuba prior to the atlantic hurricane reanalysis. at the time, the cyclone produced the fourth lowest pressure in a landfalling cuban hurricane; only the 1917, 1924, and 1932 hurricanes were more intense. hurricane irma would later join that list in 2017. hurricane fox killed 600 people across the island, causing severe crop damages in rural areas. the hurricane also ruined 30 percent of the tomato crops on eleuthera in the bahamas. across the archipelago, fox produced wind gusts in excess of 110 mph (175 km/h). total damages reached $10 million in cuba. fox was the second hurricane to land during the season, after hurricane able struck south carolina. on october 20, a tropical depression formed in the caribbean sea, 170 miles (270 km) northwest of cartagena, colombia. fox is believed to have developed from a low pressure area in the intertropical convergence zone, though it was not operationally detected until october 21. the system steadily advanced northwest and it gradually intensified. on october 21, a reconnaissance mission flew into the system, reporting sustained winds in excess of 40 mph (65 km/h). at the time, the system is estimated to have strengthened to tropical storm fox. the cyclone continued to deepen, and it reached the equivalent of a category 1 hurricane on the saffir-simpson hurricane scale, 120 miles (200 km) southeast of the swan islands, honduras. the hurricane rapidly intensified and turned north on october 23, strengthening to attain winds which correspond to a modern-day major hurricane, a storm of category 3 status or higher on the saffir-simpson hurricane scale. late on october 24, the cyclone struck the small island of cayo guano del estes in the archipelago de los canarreos, south of cienfuegos. maximum sustained winds were near 150 mph (240 km/h), and the island's weather station recorded a minimum pressure of 934 mbar (27.59 inhg). the cyclone crossed the mainland coast of cuba west of cienfuegos, and it weakened as it crossed the island. early on october 25, hurricane fox entered the atlantic ocean. it crossed central andros and turned east across the bahamas. on october 26, the hurricane briefly re-intensified as it crossed cat island. the center became ill-defined, and the cyclone quickly weakened. it turned north and then took an erratic northeast turn as it weakened to a tropical storm on october 27. the system gained extratropical characteristics as it merged with a polar frontal boundary, and it dissipated west-southwest of bermuda on october 28. advisories, along with coordination between the national observatory at havana and u.s. weather bureau, were credited for the reduced deaths in cuba. weather observations were also readily available from cuban meteorological stations. on october 25, the cyclone's hurricane-force winds were expected to remain off the florida east coast, although gale-force winds were anticipated from the florida keys to palm beach, florida. accordingly, storm warnings were issued from key west, florida to vero beach, florida. military aircraft were transported to safer locations, while watercraft were stored in harbors and rivers. hotels and resorts were boarded up on the barrier islands. the bahamas received warnings well in advance of the hurricane. the hurricane turned quickly to the east, which reduced the threat to bimini, cat cay, grand bahama, and the abaco islands. an aircraft flight into the storm experienced severe turbulence, and wind driven rain reportedly stripped paint from the plane's surfaces. as a result of the storm, 70 people were injured in cuba. severe damage to properties and crops occurred in rural areas. in zulueta, 30 structures were destroyed, while a japanese freighter was washed ashore on the reefs near cayo breton. the crew survived, though another ship was disabled during the storm. the fringes of the storm produced heavy rainfall in cuba, flooding low areas and causing several rivers to overflow their banks. strong winds uprooted large trees in santa isabel, and winds of 100 mph (155 km/h) were reported in the city of cienfuegos. in aguada de pasajeros, 600 buildings were demolished, while 36 of 261 sugar mills across the island were damaged by hurricane fox. in all, hurricane fox killed 600 people in cuba and caused $10 million in damages. the cyclone produced peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) in nassau, bahamas, causing no reported damage. crops were damaged by high winds and heavy precipitation on eleuthera. about 30 percent of the tomato crops were destroyed during the storm. a man who attempted to secretly seed and weaken the storm was missing and presumed dead after his plane disappeared off miami, florida. multiple searches by the coast guard were unsuccessful. in the early 1950s, atlantic tropical cyclones were named via the joint army/navy phonetic alphabet. hurricane fox of 1952 was the final atlantic tropical cyclone to be designated with this naming system, and a female list of tropical cyclone names was utilized in the 1953 atlantic hurricane season. after the stronger 1917 pinar del río hurricane, hurricane fox was cuba's second most intense landfall until hurricane michelle struck the island in 2001. originally, the 1917 hurricane was believed to have been a category 3 hurricane prior to the atlantic hurricane reanalysis, which made fox the second category 4 landfall after the 1932 cuba hurricane. at the time, fox was the fourth most intense hurricane to strike cuba in terms of atmospheric pressure; only the 1917, 1924, and 1932 storms were stronger at one point in their life spans. "for the funkadelic song, see (not just) knee deep. for the video game, see knee deep (video game). "knee deep" is a song recorded by american country music group zac brown band with jimmy buffett. it was released in may 2011 as the third single from the zac brown band's second major-label album, 2010's "you get what you give". it reached number-one on the u.s. "billboard" hot country songs chart for one week in august 2011. the song is about laying back and having no worries (some of the lyrics are: "only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair.") co-writer wyatt durrette told the website taste of country that he has been a longtime fan of jimmy buffett and that he wanted to write a beach-themed song. he based the first verse on a breakup. durrette brought the song to brown, who helped him complete the second verse and melody. after neither of them could come up with a bridge, they brought the song to jeffrey steele, who helped them complete it. steve morse of the "boston globe" called the song "festive" and a "highlight" of the album. "country weekly" reviewer jessica phillips said that the song was "happy-go-lucky" but "sounds like a derivation of the band's own hit "toes"." eric r. danton of the "hartford courant" called it "exactly the kind of song you'd expect to hear jimmy buffett sing, but with more mandolin." kevin john coyne, reviewing the song for country universe, gave it a b+ rating, saying that the song "lacks spunk but radiates the same sea-breezy blissfulness" as "toes". knee deep debuted at number 73 the week ending may 28, 2011. the song kept ascending and fell twice before reaching a final peak of number 18 the week ending august 6, 2011. the song was last seen in its 20th week on the chart at number 62, before being moved to recurrent status. more than two months later, knee deep was ranked by "billboard" as the 80th best song of 2011 in the year-end. colder weather is also very narrowly in the year-end chart, giving zac brown band a total of 4 year-end singles, with knee deep narrowly the highest (despite being only number 80). knee deep remains zac brown band’s biggest hit to date. the music video was directed by darren doane. it was filmed in careyes, mexico. the video features actress juliette lewis. dracula's guest is a short story by bram stoker and published in the short story collection "dracula's guest and other weird stories". it is widely believed that "dracula's guest" is actually the deleted first chapter from the original "dracula" manuscript, which the publisher felt was superfluous to the story. in the preface to the original edition of "dracula's guest and other weird stories", stoker's widow florence wrote, "to his original list of stories in this book, i have added an hitherto unpublished episode from "dracula". it was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work." leslie s. klinger, who had access to stoker's original "dracula" manuscript while researching his 2008 book "the new annotated dracula", saw evidence of "dracula's guest" having been deleted from the manuscript, such as a deleted sentence of harker commenting that his throat is "still sore from the licking of the gray wolf's file-like tongue" and the first and second chapters of the finished novel being labeled in the manuscript as "ii" and "iii". klinger ultimately concludes the following: many experts believe, the deleted opening was based on the austrian princess eleonore von schwarzenberg, discovered in the tv-documentary "vampire princess". the swedish scholar rickard berghorn noted that the description of the countess in "dracula's guest" closely resembled the description of josephine in the "powers of darkness", which he used to argue that the blonde vampire in "dracula's guest" was josephine. "dracula's guest" follows an englishman (whose name is never mentioned, but is presumed to be jonathan harker) on a visit to munich before leaving for transylvania. it is walpurgis night, and in spite of the hotelier's warning to not return late, the young man later leaves his carriage and wanders toward the direction of an abandoned "unholy" village. as the carriage departs with the frightened and superstitious driver, a tall and thin stranger scares the horses at the crest of a hill. after a few hours, as he reaches a desolate valley, it begins to snow; as a dark storm gathers intensity, the englishman takes shelter in a grove of cypress and yew trees. the englishman's location is soon illuminated by moonlight to be a cemetery, and he finds himself before a marble tomb with a large iron stake driven through the roof, the inscription reads: "countess dolingen of gratz / in styria / sought and found death / 1801". this inscription is now recognised as being a tribute to joseph sheridan le fanu, one of stoker's fellow predecessor in terms of vampire writing. le fanu's carmilla (1872) deals with a protagonist showing resemblances with countess dolingen. carmilla's main protagonist is ultimately revealed to countess millarca karnestein, a vampire. inscribed on the back of the tomb, graven in great russian letters, is: "the dead travel fast", which was an ode to the fable "lenore". the englishman is disturbed to be in such a place on such a night and as the storm breaks anew, he is forced by pelting hail to shelter in the doorway of the tomb. as he does so, the bronze door of the tomb opens under his weight and a flash of forked lightning shows the interior - and a "beautiful woman with rounded cheeks and red lips, seemingly sleeping on a bier". the force of the following thunder peal throws the englishman from the doorway (experienced as "being grasped as by the hand of a giant") as another lightning bolt strikes the iron spike, destroying the tomb and the now screaming woman inside. the englishman's troubles are not quite over, as he painfully regains his senses from the ordeal, he is repulsed by a feeling of loathing which he connects to a warm feeling in his chest and a licking at this throat. the englishman summons courage to peek through his eyelashes and discovers a gigantic wolf with flaming eyes is attending him. military horsemen are the next to wake the semi-conscious man, chasing the wolf away with torches and guns. some horsemen return to the main party and the englishman after the chase, reporting that they had not found 'him' and that the englishman's animal is "a wolf - and yet not a wolf". they also note that blood is on the ruined tomb, yet the englishman's neck is unbloodied. "see comrades, the wolf has been lying on him and keeping his blood warm". later, the englishman finds his neck pained when a horseman comments on it. when the englishman is taken back to his hotel by the men, he is informed that it is none other than his expectant host dracula that has alerted his employees, the horsemen, of "dangers from snow and wolves and night" in a telegram received by the hotel during the time the englishman was away. the patty patty sound is the second release by the beta band, released in 1998. despite being almost 40mins long and originally being released on 2 x 12" records, the release is still considered an e.p. by both the band and the press. all the tracks from the ep were later included on the compilation "the three e.p.'s" along with "champion versions" and "los amigos del beta bandidos". "the monolith" is titled simply "monolith" on "the three e.p.'s".. the track "monolith" features a manipulated sample of "dry the rain" from the e.p. champion versions. the patty patty sound, along with the other two original e.p.s from the beta band, long out of print on vinyl were re-issued as part of record store day 2013. interplanetary flight: an introduction to astronautics is a short, modestly technical introduction to space exploration written by arthur c. clarke, and published in 1950. it includes material accessible to readers with a high-school level of science and technical education, covering the elements of orbital mechanics, rocket design and performance, various applications of earth satellites, a discussion of the more interesting and accessible destinations in the solar system (such as they were understood at the time of writing), and in a final chapter covering the rationale and value of human expansion off the earth. the book includes ten chapters: a short mathematical appendix is provided (for the benefit of readers not versed in the calculus), plus a bibliography and index, for a total of 164 pages. it includes also many figures and diagrams, and 15 plates (now largely of historical interest, showing how far space exploration has advanced since 1950). yahoo! buzz was a community-based news article website, heavily derived from digg, that combined the features of social bookmarking and syndication through a user interface that allowed editorial control. users could publish their own news stories, and link to their own or another person's site that had a full story of the information, thereby driving traffic to that person's website and creating a larger market for sites that researched and published their own news articles and stories, such as cnn or smaller, privately owned websites. yahoo! created the service in hopes that it would drive larger traffic to their site and would give them an advantage over larger online media companies such as google and msn, which were yahoo!'s largest competitors in terms of search engines that provided services and web features to their customers. unlike other social networking sites, buzz allowed the publisher to modify the submission. yahoo! announced on april 19, 2011, that it was killing off buzz as of april 21, 2011. "this was a hard decision. however this will help us focus on our core strengths and new innovations", the company wrote in a brief statement. anfuso is an italian surname, and may refer to: walker's cay is the northernmost island in the bahamas, part of the north abaco district. once a popular sport fishing location, the island has been deserted since 2004, following severe hurricane damage. the island is currently undergoing renovation under new ownership. walker's cay lies to the northeast of west end, grand bahama and 105 miles northeast of jupiter, florida, in the northern bahamas. its surface is only about . the island sits on the edge of the little bahama bank, the bank containing shallow, blue-colored water, averaging about in depth. however, on the north side of walker's cay, the water drops off sharply into deep blue ocean depths. the closest island is grand cay. walker's cay was named after thomas walker, a british judge sent to the island to deal with piracy in the early 1700s. after his death in 1721, the island remained uninhabited for over two hundred years until buzz shonnard, a businessman from palm beach, florida, leased the land from the bahamian government in 1935 and built a small hotel, attracting anglers and tourists to the island. a 75-slip marina was built, and an airstrip, walker's cay airport, with a runway suitable for light aircraft. shonnard's 99-year lease began an era in which walker's cay was a well-known sport fishing location. one of walker's cay's seasonal residents was american businessman robert abplanalp, the inventor of the modern-day aerosol valve for spray cans. abplanalp bought the lease on the island in 1968 and continued to develop it as a sport fishing destination, not neglecting to pay attention to the conservation of marine life; he began encouraging tag-and-release fishing in the early 1970s. walker's cay was particularly known as a location for billfishing, with huge atlantic blue marlin caught in the area; angling for bonefish was also popular there. during world war ii, walker's cay was used by the u.s. military as an anti-submarine base. various celebrities became regular visitors of walker's cay, including u.s. president richard nixon, actress jane fonda, singer roger daltrey and athletes like davey johnson and roger staubach. the walker's cay marine area was declared a national park, walker's cay national park, in 2002. abplanalp died in 2003, and the following year the island's fortunes were dealt a further blow, when two severe hurricanes, frances and jeanne, destroyed the hotel and severely damaged the marina. in may 2018, walker's cay was sold to texas businessman and philanthropist carl allen, who announced redevelopment efforts. by spring 2019, allen was engaged in talks with bahamian authorities on permitting plans. joseph a. santiago (born december 19, 1964) is a filipino politician. a member of the nationalist people's coalition, he has been elected to three terms as a member of the house of representatives of the philippines, representing the lone district of catanduanes. first elected in 2001, he was re-elected in 2004 and 2007. a graduate of the san beda college of law, santiago was formerly an executive with the pilipino telephone corporation. in 1998, he was appointed by president joseph estrada as commissioner of the national telecommunications commission, and he served in that capacity until his election to congress. from 1997 to 1998, santiago served as team manager of the mobiline cellulars professional basketball team

morea, nauheed cyrusi, yash tonk and bappi lahiri in supporting roles while preity zinta and deepika padukone make brief special appearances. directed by debutant prem soni, the film, which revolves around the theme of extramarital affair, is a joint production of sohail khan productions and utv spotboy pictures. the film is produced by sohail khan and ronnie screwvala, and was released on 16 october 2009. it's the epitome of false advertising as the trailers have much more of salman khan than sohail khan even when all of salman khan's appearances, collectively, barely make 10 minutes in the movie. a young indian couple raina (kareena kapoor) and samir (salman khan) meet and fall in love at the very first sight and decide to get married despite the lack of acceptance from samir's parents as raina is an orphan. however, they begin their lives together convincingly as they soon fly off to melbourne, where samir works as a stockbroker. raina decides to work in a restaurant to pass her time. their relationship develops problems when samir's business takes a severe hit. in order to get his career back online, he decides to move to singapore and start his work from scratch. he surprises her at the airport saying that they are not flying together. she is to go to delhi and wait for him while he goes to gain success in singapore, and that the relationship will be a failure without financial support. just after samir catches the plane and leaves for singapore, raina has a chance meeting with aakash (sohail khan) at the airport itself. they strike a rapport immediately, and once he knows of raina's problems, aakash lends a helping hand using his friend's (mahek chahal) help. he gets her a much better job at the airport. now, raina suddenly finds herself in the midst of a new and trendy airport job and in addition a good mansion to live in. aakash falls deeply in love with raina because they work together in close proximity, and raina also seems to be attracted to him, or at least to depend on him for every small and big matter on a day-to-day basis. at this juncture, raina is faced with the problem that her residency visa is going to expire and she will have

designed in 1934–1935 by james c. reddig for fleetwings, inc., of bristol, pennsylvania. while the aircraft's basic configuration had a precedent in the design of the loening "monoduck" developed by the grover loening aircraft company as a personal aircraft for mr. loening (for whom reddig worked from 1929 to 1933), the sea bird was unusual because of its construction from spot-welded stainless steel. it was a high-wing, wire-braced monoplane with its engine housed in a nacelle mounted above the wings on struts. the pilot and passengers sat in a fully enclosed cabin. fleetwings initially planned to manufacture 50 production units, but at a price approaching $25,000 during the depression, there proved to be no sustainable market. the sea bird found use with private pilot owners and saw service with the oil support industry in louisiana, including operation by j. ray mcdermott. the 2008–09 iowa hawkeyes men's basketball team represented the university of iowa in the 2008–09 college

mesurado, also called cape montserrado, is a headland on the coast of liberia near the capital monrovia and the mouth of the saint paul river. it was named cape mesurado by portuguese sailors in the 1560s. it is the promontory on which african american settlers established the city now called monrovia on 25 april 1822. there is a lighthouse on cape mesurado, located in the mamba point neighborhood of monrovia and in the cape's northwestern portion, that was established in 1855. it is currently inactive, although the liberian government is seeking financial assistance to restore and reactivate the lighthouse. cape mesurado was being used as a base for the slave trade and in 1815 governor william maxwell of sierra leone sent an armed force to raid the settlement, seizing ships, merchandise and enslaved africans from the factories there. the factory owners, robert bostock and john mcqueen were sentenced to fourteen years transportation to new south wales by the vice admiralty court. a year later the "le louis" was captured by hms "queen charlotte" of the british west africa squadron on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade. in 1821, the american colonization society dispatched a representative, dr. eli ayers, to purchase land farther north up the coast from sierra leone, where the settlers had previously landed at sherbro island but were experience a high death rate due to the island's swampy, unhealthy conditions. with the aid of robert f. stockton, a u.s. naval officer, ayers sought out land to establish a new colony. stockton led negotiations with leaders of the dei and bassa peoples who lived in the area of cape mesurado. at first, the local ruler, zolu duma (king peter), was reluctant to surrender their peoples' land to the strangers, but was forcefully persuaded—some accounts claim at gun-point—to part with a "36 mile long and 3 mile wide" strip of coastal land for trade goods, supplies, weapons, and rum worth approximately $300. the cape mesurado colony faced many of the same barriers to success as the previous colony at sherbro island: little supplies, as well as swampy and unhealthy conditions. there was also conflict with local tribes, who resented the now americo-liberian residents - who had been slaves or the children of former slaves in the united states before their emigration to africa - trying to put an end to the slave trade. led by lott carey and elijah johnson, the americo-liberians organized their own defense against local attacks and rejected british military assistance in exchange for hoisting the union jack on cape mesurado. during the battle of fort hill on 1 december 1822 colonist matilda newport is alleged to have repelled an attack by lighting a cannon with an ember from her pipe. the holiday

uthiram (tamil:பங்குனி உத்திரம்) (also known as meena uttara-phalguni in sanskrit) is a day of importance to tamil hindus. it falls on the day the moon transits in the asterism or nakshatram of uttara-phalguni or uthiram in the twelfth month of the tamil calendar i.e. panguni. it is the purnima or full moon of the month of panguni (பங்குனி 14 march - 13 april). this coincides with the hindu calendar month of phalguna / chaitra. this month is special because the uthiram nakshatram coincides with the full moon. this full moon signifies the marriage of parvati and parameswara (lord shiva), murugan and deivanai, and aandaal (also known as kothai) and rangamannar took place. on panguni uthiram, narayana marries komalavalli naachiyar and give his kalyana kola seva to his bhakthas. again, valmiki's ramayana says it is on this day and star that sita's marriage with rama was celebrated. from brahmanda puranam we learn that on panguni uthiram every holy water joins thumburu teertha (also spelt as tirtha), one of seven sacred tanks in tirupati tirumala. the day is intended to underline the glory of grahasta dharma (or the married life of a householder). the almighty manifests in the marital state as uma maheswara, sita rama, and radha krishna – despite his changelessness, sans childhood or youth or old age. the lord is indeed a nitya kalyana murthi. it is our duty to celebrate this day when the lord, in both shiva and vishnu temples, appears to devotees in his married state. on panguni uthiram, in all places where lord subrahmanya has a temple, his devotees carry in a kavadi the requisites for puja for him, in fulfilment of vows. such vow fulfilment by devotees carrying kavadis is a special feature of subrahmanya temples wherever they happen to be. devotees flock in hundreds to all the murugan temples during the panguni uthiram festival, which is celebrated in march every year. it is the jayanti (day of incarnation) of lord ayyappan. it is also an important festival day for lord subramanya (muruga), as it is on this day that sri deivanai married lord subramanya. on this day goddess mahalakshmi incarnated on earth from the ocean of milk (after the ocean was churned by the gods and the demons) and hence it is celebrated as mahalakshmi jayanti. on this day goddess parvati in the form of gowri married lord siva in kanchipuram and hence this day is also celebrated as the gowri kalyanam day. the month of panguni when coinciding with phalguna, sees the festival of holi too. it is celebrated in the braj region, which includes locations traditionally connected to the lord krishna: mathura, vrindavan, nandagaon, and barsana, kumaoni (uttarakhand); also as basatotsav (bengal), phagwah (bihar), doḷajātra (oriya), ganga mela (up), dol purnima (bengal), śigmo (konkani), rangapanchami (mp), yaosang (manipur), basnata panchami (ap), phakuwa (assam), shimga (maharashtra), manjal kuli (kerala), fagu poornima (nepal), panguni uthram vasanthotsavam (tn). mostly it coincides with the end of rang panchami; phalgun krushnapaksh panchami celebrations, so called panchami of holi of krishna, which carries on as a celebration of spring. the playful throwing of natural colored powders has a medicinal significance: the colours are traditionally made of neem, kumkum, haldi, bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by ayurveda doctors. a very auspicious day for all hindus. the day of panguni uthiram is of special significance to the worship of earth element, "prithvi lingam" of ekambareswarar temple, where festivities last for 13 days. this occurs during the last month of the year known as panguni (i.e. phalguna / chaitra). panguni uthiram is a famous festival and special to murugan and shiva devotees. the 2019 date is march 21, on thursday. bonnie mitchell is a democratic former member of the new hampshire house of representatives, representing the cheshire 7th district starting in 2004. her voting record shows she

fighter sector raaf (5fs) was a royal australian air force unit formed at sandfly gully, darwin, northern territory, on 25 february 1942. it was responsible for fighter aircraft control and coordination in the darwin region. 5fs plotted and relayed the positions of enemy aircraft to put allied fighters in an optimum position for interception, in cooperation with rdf and anti-aircraft defences. it was manned twenty-four hours a day. initially set up in tents near sandfly gully, south of the raaf darwin runway in early 1942, 5fs's position was deemed to be too exposed and the unit relocated to berrimah, northern territory, near no. 119 australian general hospital, where an operations room had been constructed. 5fs was renamed no. 105 fighter sector on 24 october 1943, and again to no. 105 fighter control unit (105fcu) on 7 march 1944. the fighter sector complex encompassed 87 buildings by the end of world war ii. 105fcu was disbanded at darwin on 21 january 1945. it was reformed as air defence headquarters (darwin) on 21 january 1945, which disbanded on 18 april 1946. a division 7a dividend in the australian tax system is an amount treated by the australian tax office (ato) as an assessable dividend of a shareholder of a private company that attempts to make a tax-free distributions of profits to the shareholder, or an associate of the shareholder. division 7a applies to payments, loans and debts forgiven on or after 4 december 1997. however, it may also apply to loans in place before this date, where the amount of the loan is increased or its term extended on or after 4 december 1997. division 7a applies to debts forgiven on or after 4 december 1997, regardless of when the debt was created. the objective of division 7a is to reflect the reality of a situation, rather than the formality. as a matter of form, a dividend paid by a company is one that is declared by the directors of the company and either paid to the shareholders or credited to the shareholders account with the company. however, where a company pays amounts to or for shareholders, not expecting the amounts to be repaid, without formally declaring a dividend, the reality is that the advances are analogous to a dividend. this is the situation that division 7a seeks to catch. the amounts caught by the division 7a rules include payments made by a private company to the shareholder or on behalf of a shareholder, and debts forgiven by the company. the rules also apply to payments etc. made to or for an associate of the shareholder. furthermore, payments etc. made by the company to an interposed entity, which then makes a payment etc. to the shareholder or an associate of the shareholder, would also be caught, if a reasonable person would conclude that the payment etc. was solely or mainly a part of an arrangement involving a payment etc. to the shareholder. but if a payment to the interposed entity is a dividend, then the amount of the dividend payment is exempt. amounts covered by qualifying commercial loans, which must be in place on the company’s tax return lodgment day, are exempt from the division 7a rules. if a qualifying commercial loan is in place, the amount covered by that loan reduces the amount caught by the division 7a rules by the amount repaid by that date. where a payment is made to a shareholder (or their associate) in their capacity as an employee or an associate of an employee, division 7a does not apply. instead fringe benefits tax (fbt) may apply. the company may be taken to have paid a division 7a dividend to the shareholder equal to the amount caught by the division 7a rules, limited to the private company’s distributable surplus. the ato can include the balance as an unfranked dividend of the shareholder or, in certain circumstances, as a franked dividend. the total of division 7a dividends in an income year is limited to a private company’s distributable surplus for the year. to prevent double taxation, where an actual dividend is subsequently declared (called a later dividend), some or all of that dividend can be set off against a division 7a dividend previously assessed, but the company is not obligated to set off. the later dividend could be either fully or partly franked, as for any dividend. to the extent that it has been previously assessed it is tax-exempt, but the imputation credit component of the later dividend is assessable, and credit available. this means that the franking credit attached to the dividend is still available to the shareholder. if lower, the amount that is set off is not treating as a dividend. for an individual shareholder, an associate includes a relative, partner, the spouse or child of that partner of the individual, a trustee of a trust estate under which the individual or an associate benefits, or a company under the control of the individual or associate. for a company shareholder, an associate includes a partner of the company or a trustee of a trust estate under which the company or associate benefits, another individual or associate who controls the company, or another company which is under the control of the company or the company's associate. for a trustee shareholder, an associate includes an entity or associate of the entity that benefits or is capable of benefiting under the trust. for a partnership shareholder, an associate includes each partner of the partnership or associate of the partner. amounts covered by qualifying commercial loans are "excluded" from the calculations under division 7a. to qualify, such loans must be in writing and meet the minimum interest rate and maximum term criteria set by the ato. the rate of interest on these loans must not be less than a prescribed benchmark interest rate for each year of the loan. the term of the loan must not exceed either 25 years, if the loan amount is secured by a registered mortgage over real property, or 7 years otherwise. the rules also require that minimum repayments of the loan take place over the term of the loan, in accordance with an ato prescribed formula. jennifer bernet (born august 21, 1962) is an american social worker and

the u.s. supreme court during the 1992 term. after practicing with the law firm of hogan & hartson in washington, d.c., nahmias joined the u.s. attorney's office in atlanta in january 1995. he initially handled a number of armed robbery, firearms, arson, and explosives cases, and worked extensively on the investigation of the centennial olympic park and subsequent bombings that resulted in the indictment of eric robert rudolph. nahmias then worked in the fraud and public corruption section, where he successfully prosecuted a georgia state senator on corruption charges and several personal injury lawyers and chiropractors on tax and fraud charges, and served as the co-lead prosecutor on a major investigation of public corruption in the city of atlanta and fulton county governments. his work in atlanta was recognized in 2002 with the director's award for superior performance by an assistant u.s. attorney. beginning in late october 2001, nahmias was detailed to the united states department of justice criminal division in washington to serve as counsel to the assistant attorney general. in that capacity, nahmias coordinated the investigations and prosecutions of al qaeda and other terrorist activity around the united states and in numerous foreign countries, assisted in counterterrorism policy-making, and served as a doj liaison to other federal agencies on terrorism-related issues. on august 1, 2003, nahmias was appointed as a deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division, responsible for supervision of the counterterrorism section; the fraud section, which handles policy and litigation matters including corporate, securities, and health care fraud cases and the enron task force; the appellate section; and the capital case unit. after being nominated by the president and confirmed by the united states senate, on december 1, 2004, nahmias returned home to atlanta to take office as the united states attorney for the northern district of georgia. he served as the chief federal law enforcement officer in the district and managed an office with approximately 75 lawyers who represent the united states in all criminal and civil litigation in federal court in the district. in january 2005, nahmias was appointed to serve on the attorney general's advisory committee of united state attorneys (agac), which reviews and recommends policies for federal prosecutors nationwide. the attorney general also appointed nahmias as chairman of two of the agac's most important subcommittees: terrorism and national security (september 2005-october 2007) and white collar crime (october 2007 – 2009). nahmias was named to the supreme court of georgia by governor sonny perdue on august 13, 2009, to fill the vacancy left by

latter ("al bo rei de castela") can be dated to between 1266, when alfonso conquered the kingdom of murcia, and 1275, when he renounced his imperial candidacy. the 2002 california state senate elections were held on november 5, 2002. senate seats of even-numbered districts were up for election. senate terms are staggered so that half the membership is elected every two years. senators serve four-year terms and are limited to two terms. as was expected, the democratic party held on to the majority of the seats, though they lost one. final results from the california secretary of state: the minnesota vikings are a professional american football team based in minneapolis, minnesota. the vikings are members of the north division of the national football conference in the national football league (nfl). the club was founded by minneapolis businessmen bill boyer, h. p. skoglund and max winter in 1959 as a member of the american football league. however, they forfeited their membership in january 1960 and became the national football league's 14th franchise in 1961. there have been nine head coaches in the history of the franchise, beginning with norm van brocklin, who was head coach for six seasons between 1961 and 1967. van brocklin's successor, bud grant, is the only coach to have had more than one tenure with the franchise, and also the only one to have won an nfl championship with the team, at the 1969 nfl championship game. grant is the all-time leader in games coached (243), wins (151), and winning percentage (.622). les steckel has the worst winning percentage of the franchise's nine head coaches (.188), with just three wins in his only season in charge. two vikings coaches have been inducted into the pro football hall of fame: grant and van brocklin, although van brocklin was elected for his playing career. mike tice is the only former vikings player to have become a head coach for the franchise. the most recent coach was former defensive coordinator leslie frazier, who took over as interim head coach from brad childress after the latter was fired on november 22, 2010. frazier held the position permanently from january 3, 2011, until december 30, 2013, when he was fired after compiling a 21–32–1 record as head coach. on january 15, 2014, the vikings appointed mike zimmer as the team's ninth head coach. following the minnesota vikings' admission to the national football league, there were ultimately two candidates for the position of head coach: philadelphia eagles quarterback norm van brocklin and winnipeg blue bombers head coach bud grant. van brocklin was favored by three of the vikings' five board members, and after discussions with the franchise management on january 18, van brocklin signed an initial three-year contract and was appointed as head coach on january 18, 1961. in van brocklin's first season in charge of the vikings, the team won just three of their 14 games, a record that got worse before it got better. the team had a record of 2–11–1 in van brocklin's second season as head coach, but improved to 8–5–1 in the 1964 season. however, this was not enough to reach the nfl championship game as the team finished tied for second place in the western conference. by van brocklin's final season at the helm, his relationship with starting quarterback fran tarkenton had deteriorated to the point that the two could no longer work together. this resulted in van brocklin's resignation on february 11, 1967, shortly followed by tarkenton being traded to the new york giants. in the search for van brocklin's replacement, vikings founder max winter and general manager jim finks re-approached bud grant, who joined the minnesota side on march 10, 1967 after 10 seasons coaching the winnipeg blue bombers. with a record of 8–6, the vikings finished top of their division in grant's second season in charge, reaching the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. however, they lost out to the baltimore colts 24–14 in their western conference championship game. the following year, they went two better by beating the los angeles rams and the cleveland browns to claim the nfl championship, before losing out to the kansas city chiefs 23–7 in super bowl iv. nine more divisional titles followed in the next 11 seasons, including nfc championships in 1973, 1974 and 1976, making grant the first head coach to lead teams to four super bowls, despite never winning one. grant retired as head coach after the 1983 season, and was replaced by receivers coach les steckel in january 1984. however, under steckel, the team had their worst season to date, only managing to win three of their 16 games in 1984. after steckel was fired, grant was coaxed out of retirement to replace him for the 1985 season. after grant's second retirement, vikings assistant coach jerry burns was named as his successor. burns' tenure as head coach lasted for six seasons, including three playoff appearances, one of which resulted in a loss to the washington redskins in the 1987 nfc championship game. burns retired from coaching at the end of the 1991 season, and the vikings turned to stanford cardinal head coach dennis green as his successor, making green the first african-american head coach in franchise history. in the first nine years of green's tenure with the vikings, the closest he came to a losing record was an 8–8 record in 1995, the only season in which his team missed the playoffs. three years later, green's team played out the best season in franchise history, losing only to the tampa bay buccaneers on the way to a 15–1 record. the team received a bye to the divisional playoffs, in which they beat the arizona cardinals to set up a conference championship game against the atlanta falcons. with six minutes left in the fourth quarter and the vikings in the lead at 27–20, they drove down the field to set up a 38-yard field goal for kicker gary anderson, who had not missed a single kick all season. a successful kick would have given the vikings a two-score lead with just over two minutes left to play, but anderson hooked his kick wide left, allowing the falcons to take the ball back downfield for a game-tying touchdown. they followed this with a field goal in overtime, denying the vikings a fifth super bowl appearance. green's 10th season at the vikings helm turned out to be his final year in minnesota; with a 5–10 record with one game remaining in the 2001 season, the vikings management bought out the final two years of green's contract and promoted offensive line coach and former tight end mike tice to the top job for the final game of the season. tice remained in the job for a further four seasons, but only reached the playoffs once, losing out to the philadelphia eagles in the divisional playoffs of the 2004 season. tice's contract was allowed to expire at the end of the 2005 season, and he was quickly replaced by the philadelphia eagles' offensive coordinator brad childress. since childress' first season in charge, the vikings regular season record has improved by two wins a season from 6–10 in 2006 to 12–4 in 2009. they reached the playoffs as nfc north champions twice in two consecutive years in 2008 and 2009; they lost out to childress' former team, the philadelphia eagles, in the 2008 nfc wildcard game, but beat the dallas cowboys in the 2009 divisional game to reach their first nfc championship game since 2000. however, they lost to the new orleans saints and missed out on the super bowl. the following season, the vikings picked up just three wins in their first 10 games; after the seventh defeat of the season, childress was fired and defensive coordinator leslie frazier took over as interim head coach. frazier was named head coach on a permanent basis on january 3, 2011, but his first full season in charge saw the vikings finish with a 3–13 record. the following year saw a dramatic turnaround as the vikings finished at 10–6 in 2012, just edging out the chicago bears to make the playoffs as the nfc's sixth seed with a win over the green bay packers in week 17; however, the team slumped again in 2013, as a final 5–10–1 record ultimately saw frazier fired on december 30, 2013. on january 15, 2014, the vikings announced the hiring of the cincinnati bengals' defensive coordinator mike zimmer as head coach, and in his first year at the helm, the team finished at 7–9, just missing the playoffs. the vikings again improved to 11–5 in 2015, beating the green bay packers in week 17 to win the nfc north for the first time since 2009 and snapping a streak of five consecutive titles by green bay; however, they went on to lose to the seattle seahawks in the wildcard round of the playoffs. after going 5–0 to start the 2016 season despite a slew of injuries, the team won just three games after their bye week and finished 8–8. in 2017, zimmer led the team to a 13–3 record and a first-round bye on the way to the nfc championship game against the philadelphia eagles, who won 38–7, leaving the vikings just short of becoming the first team ever to reach a super bowl played in their own stadium.

"gutierrezia microcephala" is a small, resinous, perennial desert subshrub that is typically in height and less than in diameter. it is heavily branched, often causing it to be nearly spherical. new shoots and twigs are green to yellow in color, and older parts are brown and woody. the leaves are linear, threadlike, and alternate; long and wide. along with the leaves, the stem tissue is photosynthetic, giving the plant a high photosynthetic capacity. "g. microcephala" typically flowers july to october, but this can vary depending on the amount of precipitation. when flowering, the tips of stem branches are occupied by sessile inflorescences of 5 or 6 flowers. the knobby, waxy yellow flower buds open into golden yellow flower heads, each of which has one or two disc florets between in diameter, and one or two ray florets between in diameter. the mature plants produce many achene, although most seeds fall within a few metres of the parent plant. this is because the plant grows a very small pappus, which makes wind-borne seed distribution very inefficient. "gutierrezia microcephala", a native north american plant, is found throughout the southwestern united states (from california east as far as texas and colorado) and northern mexico (from baja california to tamaulipas, veracruz, and zacatecas). it occurs in a variety of ecoregions, such as arid grasslands, chaparral, sand dunes, and oak or oak-pine woodlands. "g. microcephala" is primarily found in well-drained sandy, gravelly, or rocky soils, and is often found in intermittently dry creeks or on the adjacent slopes. it often predominates on shallow, rocky soil, where grasses are not well established. "gutierrezia microcephala" was used by the native americans for various reasons. the cahuilla used an infusion of the plant as a gargle or placed the plant in their mouths as a toothache remedy. the hopi and tewa both used the plant as a carminative, as prayer stick decorations, and for roasting sweet corn, and the navajo applied a poultice of the plant to the back and legs of horses for unknown reasons. the zuni steeped the flower heads in boiling water and used the tea as a diuretic, tonic, and sweat-inducer, and also used the plant as an indicator of water. "gutierrezia microcephala" is of little known use to wildlife, and is generally uneaten by livestock except when other forage is unavailable. "gutierrezia microcephala" can be toxic to livestock, especially when grown in sandy soil. toxicity is due to the presence of saponins, alkaloids, terpenes, and flavonols, as well as high concentrations of selenium; "g. microcephala" plants have been found to contain selenium levels of 1287 ppm. toxicity symptoms include abortion and death; as little as of fresh "g. microcephala" consumed by cattle in seven days can cause abortions, and in cattle, sheep, and goats consuming ten to twenty percent of their body weight in two weeks can cause death. "gutierrezia microcephala" is among one of the most widespread and damaging rangeland weeds, and is an indicator of overgrazed or disturbed rangelands. the herbicides picloram and triclopyr have been found to give satisfactory control, with control lasting at least 5 to 7 years with proper grazing management. biological control has also been studied, with a combination of an argentinean root-boring weevil, "heilipodus ventralis", and an argentinean moth root-borer, "carmenta haematica", found to be an effective method of control. fire kills or severely damages "g. microcephala", allowing controlled burns to be used in the management of its populations. burns must be done carefully, as "g. microcephala" may recolonize burned sites if moisture conditions and competition is favorable, giving mixed success for prescribed burns. burns can be limited by insufficient amounts fine fuel; if there is enough fine fuel, burns are generally effective if fuel moisture and relative humidity are low, the air temperature is between , and there is a gentle breeze. mark & olly: living with the tribes is a group of three documentary adventure reality television series that aired on bbc knowledge and the travel channel which premiered in 2007. the program follows british explorers mark anstice and oliver steeds as they travel around the world to reside with underdeveloped indigenous peoples. the series was produced by cicada productions and distributed by fremantlemedia. in 2011, the third season of the series was accused of faking scenes and mistranslating interviews to portray the tribe negatively. living with the kombai: the adventures of mark and olly premiered in 2007. the season follows mark and olly as they live with the kombai tribe of west papua in indonesia. the forest tribe demonstrates methods and techniques of solving problems using skills and tools unfamiliar to the civilised. mark and olly do as the kombai do 24 hours a day for the entire run of the show. living with the mek: the adventures of mark and olly premiered on sunday, february 10, 2008. it charts mark and olly's time with the mek tribe. mark & olly: living with the machigenga aired from february 8, 2009 to march 29, 2009. the show airs at 10 pm et on sundays. it charts mark and olly's time with the machiguenga tribe. the series was accused of fabricating translations of interviews with the machiguenga to portray the tribe as "sex-obsessed, mean savages" during its third season. glenn shepard, an anthropologist who has worked with the tribe for more than two decades, and ron snell, who grew up with the tribe as the son of american missionaries, called the show "staged, false, fabricated and distorted." both speak the tribe's language fluently. shepard compared the show's methods to the film "borat". survival international director stephen corry said: "one stereotype followed another, with the [tribe] variously portrayed as callous, perverted, cruel, and savage ... tv is now getting away with portrayals which wouldn't be out of place in the victorian era." bbc worldwide has decided not to air the show again. the allegations were completely rejected by the broadcasters, producers and distributors. this is a list of ncaa national invitation tournament all-time records, as of 2014. schools whose names are italicized are no longer in division i, and can no

catholic parish church in the archdiocese of liverpool. the church is recorded in the national heritage list for england as a designated grade ii listed building. the church was completed in 1847 and had been designed by weightman and hadfield. the land was donated by members of the local dennett family, who also paid towards the cost of the building, which came to £3,000 (equivalent to £ in ). the church was consecrated on 22 september 1847. in may 1856 the original church bell was consecrated by revd alexander goss, bishop of liverpool. this was replaced in 1879 by the present bell, which was blessed by the then bishop of liverpool, revd bernard o'reilly. in 1922 the church was renovated, and the roof was replaced. st bede's is built in red sandstone with a slate roof. its plan consists of a west tower, a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel and a south porch. the tower has angle buttresses and gargoyles, and is crenellated. the windows in the nave are paired lancets, those in the clerestory have trefoil heads, and the tracery in the chancel windows is curvilinear. the entrance to the church is in the tower, and is in decorated style. inside the church the arcades are carried on alternate round and octagonal columns. the altar dated 1850 is said to be by a. w. n. pugin. the large organ is sited under the tower. there is stained glass in the east window, and on the north and south sides of the chancel. the original pipe organ was installed by gray and davison in 1848 at a cost of £200. it was overhauled and electrified in the 1930s. this organ was replaced in 1979 by a two-manual organ made by george benson in 1904 for the independent methodist church in oldham. it had been cleaned by wadsworth in 1937 and was moved here, renovated and installed by j. a. cundle and sons of liverpool at a cost of £3,850. the organ was renovated in the 2000s by sydney reeves, aided by a grant from the heritage lottery fund. the 1997 superbike world championship was the tenth fim superbike world championship season. the season started on 23 march at phillip island and finished on 12 october at sentul after 12 rounds. john kocinski won the riders' championship with 9 victories and honda won the manufacturers' championship. riders entered into the european superbike championship—who scored points towards a separate championship—and competitors riding bikes complying to different technical regulations were not eligible to score world championship points. the end of life vehicles directive is a directive of the european union addressing the end of life for automotive products. every year, motor vehicles which have reached the end of their useful lives create between 8 and 9 million tonnes of waste in the european union. in 1997, the european commission adopted a proposal for a directive to tackle this problem. the directive on end-of life vehicle 2000/53/ec is the first eu waste directive with which the eu commission has introduced the concept of extended producer responsibility. the directive aims at reduction of waste arising from end-of-life vehicles. the scope of the directive is limited to passenger cars m1 and light commercial vehicles n1. the directive covers aspects along the life cycle of a vehicle as well as aspects related to treatment operations. as such it aims at: with these targets set, the directive involves four major stakeholders, the producer, the recycling industry, the last holder and the authorities. each has a responsibility within the realms of its unique possibility. waste has become an important part of eu policy. a framework of different regulations and directives exist to improve the management of waste in the eu and efta countries. eu policy can be separated into product related regulation such as the elv directive, weee directive or battery directive to only name a few, general waste legislation such as the waste framework directive or waste shipment regulation, and treatment related legislation e.g. landfill directive, incineration directive. the product related waste regulation is subordinate to the general waste regulation. an important principle of product specific regulation is that a given product can not fall under the jurisdiction of two separate directives at the same time. for instance, the lead acid battery in an end-of-life vehicle is covered under the elv directive, whereas a lead-acid battery being a replacement part during life cycle of the vehicle is subject to the battery directive. to a large degree european union environmental policy is based on directives which are only minimum requirements and allow for adaptation to the regulatory requirements and systems of the european member states. thus, the transposition may differ slightly country by country around europe. once a given member state had written its national law, it notifies its regulation with the eu commission. if a member state violates the provisions in its national transcription, the eu commission is asking the authorities in the given member state to make the necessary changes. it could even launch an infringement procedure against the country. the member states had to implement the directive in two steps. while in the first step only vehicle registered after 1 july 2002 fell under the extended producer responsibility, the second step as of 1 january 2007 covered all vehicles a given producer has ever introduced in the market place. with implementation reports at regular intervals, the eu commission is supervising the correct implementation of the elv directive in the markets of the eu. in 2018 the ec published a study assessment of elv directive with emphasis on the end of life vehicles of unknown whereabouts. this study demonstrates that each year the whereabouts of 3 to 4 million elvs across the eu is unknown and that the stipulation in the elv directive are not sufficient to monitor the performance of single member states for this aspect. the study proposed and assessed a number of options to improve the legal provisions of the elv directive. according to definitions laid out in the waste framework directive, it is primarily the customer's will which designates a given vehicle an end-of-life vehicle. however, in certain cases a vehicle is considered end-of-life simply due to the condition it is in. according to the waste shipment regulation, such vehicle may not be exported outside of the european union. today however with material prices on the rise, end-of-life vehicles are considered a valuable resource for many different materials rather than waste. a vehicle irrespective of its age and its weight, is made out of approximately 75% of metals both ferrous and non-ferrous with the non-ferrous steadily increasing. the remaining 25% of the vehicle weight result from tires, fluids and other compound materials. europe's number of motor vehicles in use is among the largest in the world. in 2006, the total number of motor vehicles was 263m units of which passenger cars were largest group with 230m units. with an annual new registration of 18.7m units in total and 15.9m units of passenger cars the estimated annual volume of de-registrations is in the size of 13m to 14m units. however, official statistics only account for approximately 7m units as the official number of scrapped vehicles. the difference in number is usually traded as a commodity product i.e. as a used car to market such as east europe and africa. the concept of prevention is based on four pillars. "firstly", the aim is the reduction of hazardous substances in vehicles to minimise their release to the environment. "secondly", vehicles should be designed to facilitate proper dismantling and to allow components and materials to be reused, recycled and/or recovered. "thirdly", the producers (both vehicle and component) shall increase the demand for recycled material. "finally", certain materials ("lead", "mercury", "cadmium", "hexavalent chromium") are forbidden except for a few applications with defined phase-out dates. these exemptions are catalogued in the annex ii to the elv directive. since technology is subject to constant change, the annex ii is revised on a regular basis to account for new technical developments making certain materials in specific applications no longer necessary or allow for reduction of thresholds. as of today, 5 revisions have already been conducted with revision 6 under preparation. materials and components, which are either classified hazardous and thus shall not be released to the environment or should be dismantled to facilitate recycling, need to be coded for easier identification by treatment facilities. well known iso standards are to be applied for marking purposes. with the advent of the elv directive, requirements for the physical treatment of vehicles and ubiquitous prerequisites for treatment facilities were introduced by drafting the annex i to the elv directive as an enclosure. annex i describes minimum technical requirements any treatment facility need to adhere to. these are standards on buildings, premises and installations primarily designed to avoid fluids to be released to the soil. the second part covers the physical treatment procedure. annex i distinguishes between operations for de-pollution and treatment operations to promote recycling. the first one, obligates treatment facilities to drain the elv from all fluids, to remove components which are marked as being hazardous e.g. components identified to contain mercury, and explosive components e.g. seatbelt tensioners or air bags. the second one mandates the removal of certain components e.g. catalytic converter, tires, glass as well as other metal parts containing copper, aluminium or magnesium and large plastic components if these materials are not segregated in the shredding process. for the consumer the primary focus of the elv directive is the responsibility of any given producer to take back the vehicles it has introduced on the market. the obligation does not mandate the producer to physically do it on his own, but rather allows for networks the producer can set up with various treatment companies or by joining a collective system. the collection systems need to fulfill the criteria of adequate area coverage. typically, this is interpreted as being a 50 km radius around the take-back facility. indispensable is the general mandate to arrange take-back at no cost to the last owner of the elv, however, two exemptions are possible. if the vehicles lacks essential components or contains waste, the facility which takes the vehicle back is allowed to charge the last holder. vehicle manufacturer have established suitable collection systems in all markets in the eu and efta countries. while some markets favour collective systems, other markets have decided to allow own marque schemes. the first is characterised by one company organising the collection network on behalf of its members, typically the producers. the later is organised by the producer directly through bi-lateral relationships and contracts. collective systems often go hand in hand with a deposit the first owner of a vehicle provides as collateral to be paid out when the vehicle is returned to a certified treatment facility at the end of its useful life. the other alternative is a fund system which requires either first owner or producer to pay a certain amount of money to. fund money is not committed to vehicle return, but either used to finance other recycling projects or is even sunk in government budgets without any environmental impact or benefit. vehicle recycling under such strict legal framework requires constant and palpable communication to stakeholders. to measure the actual performance of the countries, targets were defined with the elv directive. the eu member states and efta countries are obliged to ensure that economic operators (i.e. authorities, treatment operators and producers) as part of their shared responsibility meet certain minimum targets. the targets are twofold: the targets are to be calculated based on the average weight of a single vehicle per year. while recycling is primarily defined as material processing with the purpose to use the material for the same or for a similar purpose, recovery is defined as incineration to generate energy. thus, the difference between the two targets reuse & recycling and reuse & recovery is the share which may go to an incineration facility. the countries have to report the annual performance to the eu commission. details with regard to the quota achieved country by country and year over year is available at eurostat website. underdog alma mater is the debut studio album by american pop punk band forever the sickest kids. it was released on april 29, 2008 by universal motown. many of the songs from "underdog alma mater" had already been released in the band's previous eps. the band's very first ep, "television off, party on", featured the tracks "believe me, i'm lying", "she's a lady", and "breakdown". however, these tracks have a significantly different sound to them in their respective recordings from the ep and "underdog alma mater". on the band's release, "the sickest warped tour ep", "hey brittany" and "coffee break" were featured on it, but were also different from their respective recorded versions on the album. unlike the other songs, on the band's ep, "hot party jamz", the track "that for me" was featured, but its recording remained the same as it was on the album. during the writing of the songs for the album, guitarist marc stewart stated, "our songs are about real stuff that's happened to us because that's what kids want to hear about. they want to listen to stories about things that could happen to them as well, or that already have happened to them." the track "believe me, i'm lying", written by austin bello and caleb turman, is based on how turman once ran into trouble with his girlfriend after he lied to her and left her in tears. turman stated, "i was hanging out with some other girls, but i told my girlfriend that i was going out by myself. so, the girls and i decided to get some coffee, and as we're walking to the car, my girlfriend pulled up and her headlights were right there in my face. i was totally busted." "believe me, i'm lying" and the track "my worst nightmare" were both written by bello and turman and both tracks had originally descended from the duo's former acoustic/electronic project been bradley. the original recordings of these two songs are featured on the deluxe edition of "underdog alma mater". between mid-march and early may 2008, the band participated in the alternative press tour. on april 10, a music video was released for "whoa oh! (me vs. everyone)".

qureshi. they played the kaninkanon v festival in copenhagen, denmark, on 15 september 2007. they appeared at the copenhagen popfest, copenhagen, denmark, on 18 april 2010. core band members qureshi and white first met in the context of the cambridge music scene. qureshi invited white to join the fledgling outfit after white's previous band, colonel bastard, folded in 2006. roadside poppies released their first ep on scottish indie label weepop! before recording their first album, "one day you won't feel a thing", as part of the 2007 rpm challenge. after a series of gigs played in cambridge, oxford and london, uk, the band undertook their first european tour in the summer of 2007, playing two dates in denmark and sweden. they played the indietracks festival in butterley, derbyshire on 27–28 july 2008. the white-penned single "cute susan" was included on the official festival compilation album, issued by make do and mend records. roadside poppies has been subject to a changing line-up. the "one day you won't feel a thing" album was written and recorded while key member martin white was temporarily based in geneva, switzerland. the 2007 scandinavian tour was conducted without singer/violinist naomi irvine, who had quit the band earlier that summer. in july 2007, roadside poppies announced they were looking for a new female vocalist, and cambridge-based vocalist abby baker was subsequently recruited. in autumn 2007 guitarist nick left the band and relocated to manchester, to be replaced by adam. in january 2008, the band saw the departure of

copenhagen-based danish members, including vocalist lena and guitarist morten. the intelligence authorization act for fiscal year 2008 () would have authorized funding levels for the 13 government intelligence agencies and increased oversight for the u.s. intelligence community. the bill would have also applied the standards in the u.s. army field manual to the entire government, effectively barring the cia and other agencies from using tactics like waterboarding in their interrogations. the bill was sponsored by rep. silvestre reyes (d, tx-16). the bill was vetoed by president bush and did not receive enough votes for an override. two days after barack obama became president he issued an executive order ordering the cia to apply the standards of the u.s. army field manual. introduced on may 1, 2007, the house passed a version of the intelligence authorization act for fiscal year 2008 (h.r. 2082) less than two weeks later, by a vote of 225-197. the senate soon followed suit after a modest amount of internal debate, approving a similar version of the intelligence bill in a voice vote on october 3, 2007. when the bill came out of conference committee on dec. 6, 2007, it had a provision barring the cia and the rest of the federal government from many interrogation tactics criticized as "torture" and "abusive" by civil liberties groups, including waterboarding. the provision was inserted by sen. dianne feinstein (d-calif.). the inserted provision would limit the cia to the 19 interrogation tactics in the u.s. army field manual, effectively banning waterboarding, exposure to extreme temperatures and other techniques used on war on terror detainees after the sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the u.s. it bans a total of eight interrogation techniques: mock executions, beatings, electrical shocks, forced nakedness, sexual acts, causing hypothermia and heat injuries. congress had banned such attacks from being used by the military through the detainee treatment act of 2005. sen. john mccain (r-ariz.) had sponsored the act, but opposed the conference committee ban because, he said, it applied military standards to intelligence agencies. mccain also said that waterboarding was forbidden under current law but asked the bush administration to clarify the matter by declaring it illegal. the house approved the bill, by a vote of 222-199. before the senate voted in february, there were two weeks of debate over the cia's use of waterboarding on three al-qaeda prisoners in 2002 and 2003. the united states department of justice was also expected to tell the house that "there has been no determination by the justice department" was legal or illegal. the bush administration had also just announced that it planned to put six war on terror detainees from guantanamo bay - five of which had been subjected to the cia tactics - on trial for involvement in the sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. the senate approved the conference report by a 51-45 vote on feb. 13, 2008. as he promised, president bush vetoed the legislation on march 8. his veto applied to the authorization for the entire intelligence budget for the 2008 fiscal year, but he cited the waterboarding ban as the reason for the veto. on march 11, speaker nancy pelosi (d-calif.) attempted but failed to lead the house in a vote overriding the veto, 224-188. rapper gone bad is the third album by mac dre, released september 28, 1999, on romp records/swerve music in conjunction with sumo productions. guest appearances include warren g, kokane, little bruce, b-legit and others. original

instruction. bender provided the prompts to the innovative journaling software "lifejournal" with chronicles software, which helps writers not only generate interesting journal content, but organize and retrieve their ideas. she is also a regular instructor, panelist, and presenter at writing and educational conferences, including at centrum foundation in port townsend, washington, and many locations where annual writing it real conferences have been held, such as port townsend; oracle, arizona; nashville, tennessee; and istanbul, turkey. bender is well known for her three-step response method that helps authors receive response from trusted listeners, which empowers authors' efforts at revision rather than have them feel their work is being "critiqued" or "torn apart," as the root of that word implies. authors, she believes, can improve their writing and best fix their drafts after they have heard 1) the words and phrases that stick in the listeners' /readers' ears, 2a) the feelings listeners/readers have after hearing/reading a piece that they feel are in keeping with what the author attempted, 2b) the feelings that are in the way of fully appreciating the work such as places of confusion and feeling left out, and 3) curiosities, where the audience wishes to know. bender graduated from the university of wisconsin with a degree in english and earned an mat in secondary education from keane college and an ma in creative writing from the university of washington. her poems, essays, and reviews have appeared in anthologies, newspapers, and literary magazines around north america, including "the bellingham review", "northwest passage", "poetry northwest", "the seattle times", and the" women's studies quarterly". she lives and works in port townsend,

represents canada in the hong kong and macau special administrative regions of the people's republic of china. as hong kong was linked to the commonwealth during british administration, canada's mission was called the canadian commission before the transfer of sovereignty to china on july 1, 1997. since 1980, the head of mission in hong kong has also served as consul-general to macau. owing to the special status of hong kong and macau, the consulate general of canada reports directly to global affairs canada in ottawa rather than through the canadian embassy in beijing, although it does work closely with its counterparts at the embassy. under an agreement signed on september 19, 1996, ottawa and beijing agreed that the former commission, now consulate general, would continue to operate as regulated by normal diplomatic procedures (such as the 1963 vienna convention on consular relations). in common with the missions of most other countries in hong kong, the consulate general does not have its own chancery building. in 1985 it moved located on the 11th to 14th floors in exchange square, at 8 connaught road central. these offices provide a base for 23 canada-based diplomats and 117 locally employed staff delivering a wide variety of services. the office relocated again in 2014 to two locations: the history of canadian diplomatic missions in the territory began in 1923 when a canadian immigration office was established in hong kong. in 1929, trade commissioner paul sykes opened the canadian trade commission. at the start of world war ii (1941), the office was closed, but it reopened in 1946. the current consul general is jeff nankivell. legqog (; ; born october 1944) is a retired tibetan politician. legqog was born in gyantse county, tibet in october 1944. he joined the communist party of china in 1972. he was the chairman of the government of tibet autonomous region of china between 1998 and 2004, when he was replaced by qiangba puncog. from 2003 to 2010, he was the chairman of the autonomous regional people's congress of tibet and of the standing committee of tibet autonomous region. in 2010, qiangba puncog was retired of the governorship and took legqog's chairmanship of the standing committee. at the same time, the new governor padma choling took from legqog the presidency of the tibet autonomous region people's congress. at 66, xinhua reports, the "former parliament leader...has reached retirement age". east lancashire pct was a large local nhs organisation. the pct commissioned (purchases) services as well as provides health

starring jeremy childs. dr. victor reed (jeremy childs) is a humorlessly committed biological scientist with a privately funded genetic experimental laboratory secreted away on a locked floor in a hospital. we first encounter him as he's delivering elizabeth, a seemingly normal infant who's nonetheless very special as the first of her kind. reluctantly if cryptically announcing this breakthrough to the public (he refuses to name anyone involved in the baby's conception or birth besides himself, or to let her be seen as yet), he braves an immediate firestorm of pushy press inquiries, as well as outrage from those who believe such scientific explorations represent a grave offense against god and nature. others note the great medical advances that cloning might help instigate, but they're generally shouted down by the pious and appalled. the outcry is such that government authorities are pressured to drum up criminal charges against victor. worried about security, he transfers the baby from the lab to his own home, a gated country estate where wife claire (shannon hoppe) is already fed up with his workaholic neglect of their own “normal” family, including two preschool daughters. while she can't help but take a maternal interest in elizabeth, the tense atmosphere worsens as protestors and media discover the baby's new location — as leaked by lab assistant laura (emily landham), who has serious ethical and safety worries over the doctor's treatment of his experimental progeny. perhaps even more perilous than the rising clamor outside, however, is a ticking time bomb within: a couple (shelean newman, david alford) who work for the household are also charged with minding a murkily explained older child who is evidently the product of a less successful, earlier cloning attempt. kept in barred quarters away from the main building (and little seen until the end), the increasingly violent, misshapen ethan (isaac disney) inevitably busts out to go on a rampage, terrorizing all in the climactic reel. in addition to acting in and producing the film, childs also served as the casting director. the film has a 50% rating on rotten tomatoes. wes greene of "slant magazine" gave the film two stars out of four. dann gire of the "daily herald" awarded the film two stars. john anderson of indiewire graded the film a b. gilfillan is an irish surname. notable people with the name include: samuel arthur "sam" bohne (born samuel arthur cohen; october 22, 1896 – may 23, 1977), was a professional major league baseball player who played second base, shortstop, and third base from 1916 to 1926. bohne was born samuel arthur cohen to louis cohen in san francisco, california. as bohne was jewish and bore the surname cohen, according to author john rosengren, the cincinnati reds persuaded him to change his surname to the non-jewish-sounding bohne because the reds' front office "brain trust" didn't believe the city's largely german population would welcome a player named cohen. he died in palo alto, california. in 1915 and part of 1916 (when he also played for the tacoma tigers and made his major league debut with the cardinals) he played in the minor leagues for the san francisco seals, and in 1917 he played for the american association milwaukee brewers and the st. paul saints. in 1919 he played for the oakland oaks, and in 1920 he played for the seattle rainiers for whom he batted .333 in 177 games. after his career in the major leagues concluded, he played for the minneapolis millers from 1927 to 1929, leading the club with 23 stolen bases in 1927. in 1916, when he made his major league debut with the st. louis cardinals, he was the second-youngest player in the national league, behind ed sicking. in approximately 1917, he was traded by the st. louis cardinals with a player to be named later (bob bescher), paddy livingston, and cash to milwaukee of the american association for marv goodwin. he played for the cincinnati reds from 1921 to 1926. in 1921, he was fourth in the nl in stolen bases (26), sixth in triples (16), and ninth in runs (98) and walks (54). in 1923, he was ninth in the nl in stolen bases (16). in 1926 he played the bulk of the season for the brooklyn robins. in 663 games over seven seasons, bohne posted a .261 batting average (605-for-2315) with 309 runs, 87 doubles, 45 triples, 16 home runs, 228 rbi, 75 stolen bases, 193 bases on balls, .321 on-base percentage and .359 slugging percentage. he finished his career with a .958 fielding percentage playing primarily at second and third base and shortstop. nadia röthlisberger-raspe (june 30, 1972 – february 9, 2015) was a swiss curler and olympic medalist. she received a silver medal at the 2002 winter

nuclear energy. he was born in 1914 in glenn springs, south carolina. he joined westinghouse in 1937 and, earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from the university of pittsburgh in 1941. he was a close associate of adm. hyman g. rickover, known as the father of the nuclear navy. simpson took a two-year leave of absence from westinghouse in 1946 to work at oak ridge national laboratory where they applied nuclear energy to the generation of power. when he returned to westinghouse he became responsible for research and development of nuclear energy generation at the bettis atomic power laboratory. he was deeply involved in the design and construction of the first submarine atomic power plant in the uss "nautilus" (ssn-571). in the late 1950s, he organized the westinghouse astronuclear laboratory, with a federal contract to build a nuclear thermal rocket. it was successfully tested, but sidelined by nasa’s gemini program. he was elected to the national academy of engineering in april, 1966. he was awarded the ieee edison medal in 1971 "for sustained contributions to society through the development and engineering design of nuclear power systems." simpson received in 1982 the walter h. zinn award from the american nuclear society. he also was a fellow of the ieee, and a member of the american society of mechanical engineers, the society of naval architects and marine engineering and the atomic industrial forum. simpson was the author of several nonfiction books including "nuclear power from underseas to outer space". he died on january 4, 2007 in hilton head. "zauvijek volim te" (cyrillic: заувијек волим те, english translation: "i love you forever") is a song performed by stefan filipović, and was the montenegrin entry for the eurovision song contest 2008. it was performed first in the first semi-final on may 20, 2008 but failed to make it to the final. it got 23 points in total (12 from bosnia and herzegovina, 10 from slovenia and 1 point from san marino), which was enough only for a 14th place. the 10 and 12 points given make this song the best montenegrin entry so far. the song was composed by a team of authors from macedonia: grigor koprov (music), ognen nedelkovski (lyrics) and vladimir dojčinovski (arrangement) - the same team that created karolina's song "mojot svet"; the macedonian entry at the eurovision song contest 2007. it was later rearranged by marko kon and aleksandar kobac, famous serbian arrangers. two of the 4 backing vocalists are the same ones that sang back vocals for the croatian song in 2003 and slovenian song in 2007 - amira hidić and martina majerle. the other two are called ana kabalin and mateja majerle. it's a love song written in a pop-rock style. stefan sings to his lover, asking her to ""be his again"" because he ""loves her for eternity"". an english version of the song was released under the title "never forget i love you". the demo versions of the song were presented on march 8, 2008, on a rtcg live show, while the rearranged version was released on march 17. promotional videos were made for both versions of the song. they were filmed on various locations such as the old town of kotor and budva. the song was succeeded as montenegrin representative at the 2009 contest by andrea demirović with "just get out of my life". arthur h. "art" behm is a north dakota democratic-npl party member of the north dakota senate, representing the 19th district since 2007. art behm has had the following political experience: art behm has been a member of the following committees: art behm has had the following professional experience: art behm has been a member of the following organizations: michel particelli d'émery, (6 june 1596 in lyon – 25 may 1650 in paris), was the son of a banker in lyon, france, originally from an italian family of lucca, italy, who was the counsellor of cardinal-duc de richelieu. a portrait of him was taken by théophile-abraham hamel and was changed by théophile-abraham hamel in order to give a face to samuel de champlain. according to archive's canada site, michel particelli d'émery's face was used to represent champlain for more than a century, and is still used by many historians to represent champlain. "this portrait of champlain is a fake, based on a portrait of michel particelli d’émery engraved by balthazar moncornet in 1654. this portrait has been perceived so often as champlain's true image that it seems impossible to set the record straight." the major league baseball opening series japan 2008, or mlb japan opening series 2008, was played on march 25 and 26, 2008, in tokyo, japan. the 2007 world series champion boston red sox and the oakland athletics split a two-game series played at tokyo dome. these were the first games of the major league baseball (mlb) regular season. boston won a closely fought and entertaining opening game in japan, courtesy of a manny ramírez 2 rbi double in the top of the 10th inning. daisuke matsuzaka started very shakily, not able to control his curveball as he gave up two runs, including a mark ellis home run in the first inning and issuing five walks through his five innings. however, he settled down to retire the last seven batters he faced. joe blanton started for oakland and pitched solidly through the first five innings. however, he lost control of his pitches in the sixth inning, and gave up three runs. ramirez drove in two with a double and brandon moss (a very late replacement for j. d. drew) drove in the third run with an rbi single. in the bottom half of sixth, kyle snyder failed to hold on to the lead, giving up a two-run homer to jack hannahan. both bullpens were then solid, giving up no runs until the ninth inning. huston street failed to close out the game, giving up a solo home run to moss. with hideki okajima's scoreless 9th inning, the game was sent into extra innings. street stayed in the game despite blowing the save in the 9th inning. with a man on second and two out, oakland chose to intentionally walk david ortiz, who seemed to have struggled in his earlier at bats. ramirez then knocked in his third and fourth rbis with his second double of the game. jonathan papelbon came on to close out the game for boston. with a man on first and one out, emil brown hit a double into right field, scoring daric barton. however, brown chose to attempt to advance to third base, but was caught in a rundown, and was tagged out. this resulted in a 2 out, nobody on situation, instead of a 1 out, 1 on situation. papelbon gave up two further singles, but retired kurt suzuki to end the game. in a side note for fans in the united states, many viewers of the directv service were unable to watch the game on either espn2, which had the national game rights, or nesn, which had broadcast rights for the red sox in that region. the transponders from which the channels are uplinked to viewers of the standard definition feed failed some hours before the first pitch at 6 a.m. eastern time. the screen showed a "searching for satellite signal" error message, then directv put up a static screen apologizing for technical difficulties. those watching directv on a high-definition feed were not affected. the error was not fixed until approximately noon et; both networks replayed the game coverage after that, as had been scheduled due to the enormous time difference between the u.s. and japan. oakland comfortably won the second game to level the series at 1-1. jon lester gave up four runs in four innings, including a three-run home run to emil brown in the third inning. rich harden pitched six dominant innings for oakland, striking out nine and giving up just one run thanks to a manny ramírez solo home run in the sixth inning. jeff fiorentino added another run with a single in his first at bat of the season, driving in kurt suzuki. the śatakatraya (, "the three "śataka"s", also known in southern india sometimes as सुभाषित त्रिशति telugu: సుభాషిత త్రిశతి iast: "subhāṣita triśati ,""the three hundred poems of moral values") refers to three indian collections of sanskrit poetry, containing a hundred verses each. the three "śataka"s, or "centuries", are known as the "nītiśataka", "śṛṅgāraśataka", and "vairāgyaśataka", and are attributed to bhartṛhari. k. m. joglekar in his book on nītiśataka says that it is not easy to say in which order the śatakas were written. the "nītiśataka" deals with "nīti", roughly meaning ethics and morality. "śṛṅgāraśataka" deals with love and women. "vairāgyaśataka" contains verses on renunciation. the sanskrit scholar barbara stoler miller translated these sections as "among fools and kings", "passionate encounters" and "refuge in the forest" respectively. especially in the "vairāgyaśataka", but also in the other two, his poetry displays the depth and intensity of his renunciation as he vacillates between the pursuits of fleshly desires and those of the spirit. thus it reveals the conflict experienced "between a profound attraction to sensual beauty and the yearning for liberation from it", showing how "most great indian art could be at once so sensuous and so spiritual". there is great variation between versions of his śatakas, and together the available manuscripts have over 700 verses instead of 300. d. d. kosambi identified about 200 verses that appear in all manuscripts. despite the variation in content, there is remarkable similarity in theme; kosambi believes that each "śataka" came to attract a certain type of stanza similar to the ones present in the original collection. moreover, at least among the 200 "common" stanzas, there is a distinctive voice of irony, scepticism and discontent, making the attribution to a single author plausible. according to one legend associated with him (possibly in confusion with the legend of king bharthari), he was a king, who once gave a magic fruit to his wife, who gave it to another man, who in turn gave it to another woman, and finally it reached the king again. reflecting on these events, he realised the futility of love and worldly pleasures, renounced his kingdom, retired to the forest, and wrote poetry. this is connected with a famous verse that appears in the collections: however, the verse is probably a later addition, and many of the other verses suggest that the poet was not a king but a courtier serving a king — thus there are many verses rebuking the foolish pride of kings, and bemoaning the indignity of servitude. the sanskrit scholar and commentator budhendra has classified the nītiśhataka into the following sections, each called a "paddhati": संगीतसाहित्यकलाविहीनः साक्षात् पशुःपुच्छविषाणहीनः | तृणं नखादन्नपिजीवमानः तद्भागधेयंपरमंपशूनाम् || sāhitya-saṅgīta-kalā-vihīnaḥ sākṣāt paśuḥ puccha-viṣāṇa-hīnaḥ | tṛṇaṃ na khādann api jīvamānaḥ tad bhāgadhēyaṃ paramaṃ paśūnām || this verse means that a human devoid of poetry, music and arts is equivalent to an animal which does not have horns and tails.it is the great good luck of other beasts that they don't graze grass, and still survive. james landis may refer to: ss "calgarian" was an armed merchant cruiser of the royal navy. she was sunk by the u-boat off rathlin island, northern ireland on 1 march 1918. the initial strike did not sink her, and the crew managed to contain the damage. the u-boat torpedoed her again, despite the protection of other ships. she was hit by 4 torpedoes and quickly sank with the loss of two officers and 47 ratings. ss "calgarian" was built for the allan line's primary service between liverpool, england and the canadian ports of quebec and montreal. the passenger and mail steamer was built by fairfield shipbuilding and engineering company ltd., glasgow with propulsion consisting of four parsons-type steam turbines. external appearance was similar to an earlier ship built for the line, "alsatian" constructed by another builder, but the ships differed in engineering design details. "calgarian" was length on waterline, length between perpendiculars, molded beam, with a depth molded to the bridge deck of and a mean designed draft of and gross tonnage of 18,000 tons. there were eleven watertight bulkheads and a double bottom to the turn of the bilge. passenger capacity was 200 first class, 500 second class and 1,000 third class with a crew of 500 officers and men. "calgarian" had eight decks: a being the boat deck, b the promenade, c the bridge, d the shelter deck, e upper deck, f main deck, g the lower and h the orlop with passenger accommodations on a through f decks. a somewhat novel feature was provision of a "scouting" motor launch capable of 7 knots with wireless and of steel wire tethering it to the ship for use in fog. the outer port shaft was driven by a high-pressure turbine that exhausted into a medium pressure turbine driving the outer starboard shaft. the two middle shafts, capable of reversal, were each driven by a low-pressure turbine, which in emergencies could each be driven by exhaust from the high-pressure turbine. each shaft drove a four-bladed bronze propeller for a designed sea speed of 19 knots. steam was provided by six double-ended and four single-ended forced draft boilers divided between two boiler rooms. on trials in the clyde "calgarian" attained 21.25 knots and on a double run for contract speed made 20.63 knots, a knot and a half above required service speed. electrical power was provided by three 250 kw steam-driven generating sets with an 18 kw emergency generator located on the shelter deck above the waterline. "calgarian" made her maiden voyage from liverpool to canada on 8 may 1914. on 15 september 1914 "calgarian" was taken over as an armed merchant cruiser. her naval career saw her take part in the blockades of the ports of lisbon and new york and acts as a troop and passenger transport across the atlantic. "calgarian" was at halifax when the halifax explosion took place on 6 december 1917. her crew assisted with rescue and medical relief. she was officially transferred to canadian pacific in july 1917 on its acquisition of allan. however, she continued in royal navy use until her sinking. ryoun yamada, aka yamada ryoun or yamada masamichi, the son of the late yamada koun, is the current zen master of san'un zendo in kamakura, japan and the abbot of the sanbo zen school of zen buddhism. sanbo zen is a lay organization of zen, so yamada also worked at mitsubishi bank and mitsubishi securities. currently he heads the itoki corporation. as of the late 1990s, yamada was returning to japan only a few times each year. garnet clark, sometimes credited as garnett clark (1917–1938), was an american jazz pianist. clark began playing professionally in his birthplace of washington, d.c. at age 16 in tommy myles's band. by 1934 he was playing regularly in new york city clubs; in the mid-1930s he recorded with alex hill and charlie barnet. benny carter was playing with barnet at the time, and he and clark decided to quit barnet's group and move to europe with willie lewis. while there he recorded with django reinhardt and bill coleman, but soon after left this group to play solo. he accompanied adelaide hall in switzerland in the mid-1930s. in 1937 he suffered a nervous breakdown, ending his career; he died soon after. the eastern valley conference was a high school athletic conference in the east central, fox valley, and northeast area in wisconsin. the conference was formed in 2007 when four teams in the east central conference and six teams in the valley 8 conference formed the eastern valley conference. in 2009 omro asked the wiaa to move out of the eastern valley to the flyway conference because of not being able to compete with the larger schools. the school moved out at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. in 2013 the wiaa unveiled plans for a new structure of the evc. the plan calls for the departure of berlin, ripon & winneconne to what was named the east central conference, xavier to the bay. denmark, luxemburg-casco, marinette & oconto falls would leave the bay to the evc along with olympian member wrightstown. waupaca would move to the bay for football only. xavier has voiced it will likely appeal the plan due to passing schools they currently play while traveling to the schools in this realigned conference. effective after the end of the 2014-2015 school year the conference has been renamed to the northeastern conference (wisconsin). dec source

integrated steel company. the company was once the ninth largest steelmaker in the country, and had three locations. the first plant was in detroit, michigan, the second (and significantly larger) in trenton, michigan, and the third, a cold mill, in gibraltar, michigan. the detroit plant is currently owned by jones & laughlin steel company, and has been demolished. the trenton facility is owned by msc land co. and around half the site remains, including the rolling mill. the gibraltar cold mill is owned by ferrolux, and has been restarted. this plant was built by donald b. mclouth, a detroit scrap dealer, as a small conversion mill on livernois avenue in detroit, mi. some financing was provided by general motors, desiring additional options for steel. the plant was revamped to produce only stainless steel in its later years and was bought by jones and laughlin steel company in 1981. the detroit mill initially consisted of a small reversing hot rolling strip mill with a slab heating furnace. the original hot strip mill was known as the "coffee grinder" from the sounds the mill would make. in 1938, the company brought online a single 4-high reversing cold reducing mill with ancillary facilities (annealing and finishing). throughout the next few years, modifications were made to the equipment and eventually, the company had the capacity to roll 108,000 net tons per year of hot rolled products and 60,000 net tons of cold rolled steel products. in 1947, mclouth steel began rolling stainless steel. two single stand reversing cold reducing mills were installed with the related supplementary equipment. in 1954, $6,000,000 of the $100,000,000 expansion plan for the new trenton plant was used to install two 4-high reversing cold rolling mills. with this new addition to the detroit plant, the stainless steel production increased to 52,000 net tons per year. the detroit plant was a finishing facility for sheet and strip products only. principal operating units were two ., 4-high cold reduction mills, a cold anneal and pickle line, a temper mill, two slitting lines(36in. and 24in.), and a coil polisher. the two 50in. reduction mills were essentially identical. both were installed in 1953 by united and combined, they both had an annual capacity of 120,000 tons. the cold anneal and pickle line were installed in 1975 by production machinery. the line consisted of an entry end washing section to remove rolling oils, an open air annealing furnace (where the strip was heated above ), and three acid pickling tanks followed by rinsing and drying units. paper was interleaved between the coil wraps at the exit take up reel to avoid surface abrasion. coil product was usually shipped from the detroit plant via truck. the detroit plant was demolished in 2018. in 1948, mclouth steel started its $100 million expansion program by purchasing riverfront property in trenton, mi, with general motors providing a $25 million loan . purchasing war surplus equipment from an indiana mill (at bargain prices), the first major construction program started soon afterward. the site was laid out and four sixty ton electric arc furnaces were installed. soaking pits, a blooming mill, a steckel mill, a down-coiler and finishing equipment were installed. the first ingots were poured in 1949, and mclouth was soon established as a growing factor in the marketplace. a few years later, in 1954, the trenton plant was dedicated and mclouth steel became able to produce iron as an integrated steel mill. number one blast furnace was constructed with a capacity of 1250 tons a day. the three original 60 ton basic oxygen furnace (bof) vessels were installed and mclouth became the first plant in north america to make steel via the basic oxygen process. adding to the melt shop were two 200 ton electric arc furnaces. the reversing steckel mill was replaced by a six stand continuous hot strip rolling mill and a roughing stand was added to complement the blooming mill. more soaking pits were installed as well as a plant to supply the bop with oxygen. two pickle lines were also added along with the slitters. 1958 saw another major expansion of the plant. a new blast furnace was constructed (number 2), two 110 ton bop vessels, and the related support equipment for the bop and blast furnaces also had their capacity increased. gas cleaning systems were installed for the melt shop as well. two rust slab reheat furnaces were installed to handle stainless steel, as well as the massive grinder and slab unpilers. the grinders, unpilers, and the pusher/bumper units for the two furnaces were supplied by composite forgings, inc. between 1960 and 1964, one more 110 ton bop vessel was added, bringing the 110 ton vessel count to three. mclouth also became the first company to use computer controls on a hot strip mill on november 1, 1962. significantly, the first "straight stick" slab caster was installed during this period. it was the first in the united states. profitable operations as well as market demand prompted a major commitment to build a continuous casting department in 1967 with the announcement of four curved mold continuous casting strands and six lines of three induction slab reheaters. two additional 110 ton bop vessels were also added to replace old and obsolete equipment (the 60 ton vessels). with these improvements to mclouth's steel making process, mclouth became the first steel mill to eventually produce 100% of its product by the continuous casting process, which added significantly to the efficiency of the operations and improved the quality of the finished product. the plant was sold in 1996 to detroit steel company. up to the early 2000s, detroit steel primarily brought in outside steel, pickled it, and sold it. after several failed start-up attempts, the trenton complex remains idle. the plant's electric distribution infrastructure was removed in the summer of 2009. in the late 2010s, the site was used as a storage and transloading space for trenton marine terminals. in april 2017, wayne county foreclosed on the site after owners failed to pay $3.7 million in back taxes. in 2018, msc land co. (a moroun company) purchased the land, entering into an agreement to demolish all buildings and to perform some remediation. the proposed use for the land is an intermodal operation utilizing the port, rail lines, and proximity to freeways. in may 2019, the site was put on epa's superfund national priorities list.. in 1954, mclouth announced the construction of a cold rolling facility in gibraltar, michigan, close to the trenton plant. this facility has a four stand continuous cold rolling strip mill, annealing furnaces, two skin pass finishing mills and other ancillary equipment for further processing of cold rolled steel coils. the property the company acquired was once owned by the gibraltar steel corporation. the total area was around of land along the river bordering trenton. mclouth failed to get the proper financing to construct another integrated mill, so plans were drawn up for a stand-alone cold rolling mill. original plans called for five additional blast furnaces, but that was based upon the completion of the all american channel. without the channel, ore and coal haulers could not bring in the required raw materials. there was a major fire that destroyed most of the pickling tower in 1970. the plant was operated under detroit cold rolling (a subsidiary of detroit steel) from 1996 (after the mclouth sale) until it was later sold to steel rolling holdings in 2006. the plant was restarted by srh, and was later purchased by ferrolux. ferrolux has since invested heavily into the gibraltar facility. the entire steelmaking building, with the exception of the lime storage building, was demolished in 2005. the lime storage building was brought down with explosives on april 18th, 2010. pilot plant concast department main building was demolished in 2006. the four underground strands are still intact, however they are flooded. cutting tables, control rooms, and service cranes have severe flood damage. soaking pits eighteen induction slab heating furnaces walking beam furnace six stand rolling mill two down-coilers pickle line and #5 slitter remains. pickle liquor 60" lee wilson bases 80" swindell bases both furnaces used natural gas fuel. two 2-high skin pass mills. roll sizes online computer control of steel making processes became a reality with the first use of computers on a hot strip mill in 1962. mclouth steel used a general electric 312 computer for gauge control on the finishing train of a semi-continuous mill. the aim was to set up the initial roll gap and then establish correct gauge as soon as the head end of the strip emerged onto the runout table. the finishing train started running under continuous computer control on november 1, 1962. "probably the most exciting application of the ge 312 was to the hot strip mill of mclouth steel co. in michigan. it was a difficult design inasmuch as each step in the process had to be varied on the basis of the measured values of the previous step. this required continuous high speed feedback to set the six different hot stands with absolute accuracy and reliability being essential; an error at one point could be magnified at the next, causing an entire process to go out of control. fortunately, the ge 312 met the challenge." h. oldfield, general manager of the ge computer department. the solid state circuitry of a ge 312 computer was composed of 2500 diodes, 2500 transistors, and 12,000 resistors, but no magnetic core memory. there were 20 binary digits per word or per instruction. all arithmetic was fixed point. numbers were 19 bits plus the associated positive or negative sign, not a very big number range when expressed in decimal form, just -524,287 to +524,287. the ge 312 was designed by a. spielberg of the ge computer department that was newly formed in 1957. mclouth steel was the first plant in north america to cast 100% of its steel by the continuous caster method. in may 1962, mclouth personnel visited the dillingen steel works in germany, where continuously cast slabs larger than 100 square inches were first cast. some sixteen months later, mclouth was operating a "straight stick" casting machine. in 1963, a full size single strand, vertical casting machine was added to the original oxygen process shop. the machine was operated for five years, helping to pioneer techniques that would be useful when the larger four strand shop was constructed in 1968. the pilot shop was operated mostly during the day, while the afternoon and midnight shifts would repair, modify, or tune the machine. initial slab sizes were 8" x 36", afterwards they began to cast bigger slabs by about 10" increments up to 10" x 52". there was a noted improvement in quality, as with the ability to cast using larger molds. the pilot plant was limited to about 50 "heats" (ladles of molten steel), from the original op shop. over the course of operation, the pilot plant cast a little over 300,000 tons of steel. the five year run of the plant produced the opportunity to help develop both the equipment and casting techniques. extensive work was performed on the design of the molds and the casting speed relative to the slab quality. four single-strand curved mold casting machines cast around 3000 tons per day. only two casting machines would normally cast at one time, and many people questioned the need for four units. mclouth felt that the third caster was there for coordination reasons, while the fourth was a reserve for maintenance shutdowns. ladles were moved by overhead bridge cranes to the casting machines, which could handle two at a time. the record slab length for the plant was between may 9–11, 1972. the slab was 44" wide and long, total weight was around 8,500 tons from 75 ladles. strand two was used. mclouth steel's decision to cast unusually thick slabs (12 inch) led them to reheat the slabs inductively. the whole setup was difficult to undertake, as well as uneconomical to use. the giant heaters resembled upside-down toasters, and made a loud buzzing sound when in operation. the nature of the induction heating process is such that heat input to the slab is not restricted to the surface, but actually penetrates into the slab. the depth of penetration is determined by the frequency of the electrical power supply and the metallurgical makeup of the steel. although induction heating was well established as an effective and economical process fulfilling many types of heating requirements, it had never been seriously considered for heating anything like the 12" thick by 60" wide by 26' long, 30 ton slabs mclouth wanted to produce. the fact that they wanted over 600 tons of steel heated per hour did nothing to help the situation. several induction heating companies were contacted to determine if they would be interested in a project of this magnitude. just one company expressed interest. ajax magnethermic from warren, ohio. ajax informed mclouth that they had a new coil design which would be capable of doing the job. after discussions, mclouth entered into a shared cost, joint development venture with the company to design, build, and test a prototype coil system. early in 1965, several small 12" thick slabs of rimmed steel were repetitively heated in a prototype 1,000 kw rectangular coil. the tests proved that cold 12" thick slabs could be heated to rolling temperature in less than one hour. the next year, mclouth ordered 21 heaters (including three spares) as part of a $105 million program expected to be completed by the summer of 1968. the program expanded the hot metal facilities with a four strand caster and the new induction heaters. production capacity at the plant was raised from 1,800,000 tons a year to 2,400,000. a full-size computer system was installed to automatically switch heaters on or off as required to rebalance the phase loading and to remove the threat of a 120 kv line outage. detroit edison permitted mclouth a maximum phase imbalance of 43 mw. the computer shut off heaters if a limit was reached and provided printouts of hourly demands, alarms, engineering logs, as well as maintenance logs. overall, the system was a novel idea, but really only worked on paper. auto transformer failures were frequent, as were bus connection failures. when all 18 heaters were running at full capacity, mclouth steel was michigan's second largest consumer of electricity (first was the city of detroit). the environmental impact was very low due to a closed water cooling system and heaters being shut off during non-operating hours. although a contentious topic, mclouth steel's demise can be attributed to a mixture of causes. some may have caused others. mclouth only produced flat-rolled steel, with 75% of its customers being automotive . its attempts to diversify, including buying trucking/coke/ore companies, did not generate the revenue/savings originally projected. multiple recessions, cheap overseas steel, and lowered steel use in vehicles were also factors. mclouth was "top-heavy" with a ratio of 1 supervisor to every 4 workers, while the union desired 1 supervisor to every 15 workers . mclouth had an extremely generous wage package, something the union was cooperative about reducing in later years as the need to cut costs increased. in the spirit of its old slogan, "pioneers in steel technology", it invested heavily in new technologies. workers/supervisors often did not know how to get the full potential from the machines. as such, mclouth bore not only high costs to implement, but additional losses from lack of optimization. some also cite aging and incorrectly-sized equipment, along with low employee morale/productivity in the 1980s to mid-1990s. the subsequently-lowered quality of steel also created reputation problems. labyrinth is a game of physical skill consisting of a box with a maze on top with holes, and a steel marble. the object of the game is to try to tilt the playfield to guide the marble to the end of the maze, without letting it fall into any of the holes. some versions of the game feature a suspended maze surface that rotates on two axes, each of which is controlled by a knob. small handheld versions of the game are sold, with the box being completely closed with a transparent cover on top. the game was developed by brio in sweden and first released there in 1946. it was introduced to the united states by brio around 1950. similar games are offered in the us by a number of companies, due to it never being properly copyrighted there (according to one such company). mago is a jazz album released by billy martin and john medeski of the jazz trio medeski martin & wood. "mago" was recorded over two days in july 2006 and was produced by martin, who plays drums. medeski plays hammond b3 organ. born to be burned is a compilation album by the san francisco garage rock and psychedelic rock band the great society. the album is made up of material recorded during the band's short-lived association with autumn records in 1965, with the majority of it being previously unreleased. the exceptions to this are the songs "someone to love" and "free advice" (tracks 1 and 2 on the album), which had both been issued as a single on northbeach records, a subsidiary of autumn records, in february 1966. the album contains many of the great society's signature songs, including "free advice", a drone-laden piece of raga rock, greatly influenced by indian classical music, and "father bruce", a song inspired by comedian and counterculture hero, lenny bruce. the oriental-sounding "daydream-nightmare-love" and the darkly psychedelic "born to be burned" are also included. "someone to love" is arguably the great society's most famous song, due to the later hit single version by jefferson airplane (retitled "somebody to love"). the great society's vocalist, grace slick, joined jefferson airplane in late 1966 and consequently she sings lead vocal on the airplane's recording of the song, which became a top 5 hit in the u.s. in may 1967. released by sundazed records in 1995, "born to be burned" garnered reasonable reviews, with most critics noting the power and confidence of grace slick's voice but also commenting on the relative lack of professionalism exhibited by the rest of the band. most reviewers noted that the album would predominantly be of interest to fans of grace slick and jefferson airplane or connoisseurs of the san francisco bay area acid rock scene. many of the tracks found on "born to be burned" were later included on the big beat records' compilation album, "someone to love: the birth of the san francisco sound". jože javoršek was the pen name of jože brejc (20 october 1920 – 2 september 1990), a slovenian playwright, writer, poet, translator and essayist. he is regarded as one of the greatest masters of style and language among slovene authors. a complex thinker and controversial personality, javoršek is frequently considered, together with the writer vitomil zupan, as the paradigmatic example of the world war ii and postwar generation of slovene intellectuals. javoršek was born as jože brejc in the small lower carniolan town of velike lašče, in what was then the kingdom of serbs, croats and slovenes. he studied comparative literature at the university of ljubljana. during his student years, he became involved with slovenian christian socialist groups, where he met the poet and thinker edvard kocbek. kocbek had a huge influence on javoršek, encouraging him to pursue a literary career. during world war ii, javoršek joined the partisan resistance, where he fought alongside the later philosopher and literary critic dušan pirjevec and the writer vitomil zupan. it was during his underground activity in the italian-ruled province of ljubljana that he adopted the pseudonym jože javoršek. after the end of the war in 1945, he worked as the personal secretary of edvard kocbek, who was appointed minister for slovenia in the yugoslav government. he continued his studies at the french sorbonne and shortly worked as assistant at the yugoslav embassy in paris. in the french capital, he frequented the circles of french left-wing intellectuals; among others, he became acquainted with albert camus, and established a close friendship with louis guilloux, gérard philipe, and marcel schneider. he returned to slovenia in 1948. the next year, he was imprisoned by the communist authorities and sentenced to 12 years in prison at a show trial. he was released in 1952, but rehabilitated only shortly before his death in 1990. after returning to liberty, he mostly worked as a playwright and stage director in several slovene language theatres in ljubljana. during this time, he was among the first who introduced the surrealist and absurdist elements on slovenian and yugoslav stages. he established close contacts with the stage directors žarko petan and bojan štih who both shared some of javoršek's modernist and progressive esthetic views. javoršek managed to stage several plays based on the theories of antonin artaud and alfred jarry in the drama theatre of ljubljana, directed by štih. because of this innovative approach that challenged the cultural policies of the communist regime, javoršek gained influence on the younger generation of slovene artists and authors, known as the critical generation, who departed from the prevailing humanistic and intimistic trend in slovenian culture and literature of the time and embraced more metaphysical questions. among those young authors were dominik smole, taras kermauner, primož kozak, and others. javoršek had nevertheless a critical attitude to the younger generations and often disapproved their radical modernist approaches. between 1961 and 1967, javoršek worked as an assistant at the slovenian academy of sciences and arts and between 1967 and 1982 as secretary in the office of the academy's president josip vidmar. he died in ljubljana in 1990 and was buried in his hometown of velike lašče. a memorial plaque, designed by the slovene sculptor stojan batič, was placed on his birthplace in the 1990s. javoršek wrote poetry, plays, novels and essays. he started as a poet. already as a teenager, he published several poems in the left-wing slovenian magazines of the time, such as "mladina" and kocbek's "dejanje". after world war ii, a collection of his wartime poems, entitled "partizanska lirika" ("partisan lyrics"), was issued in 1947. after his experience in jail, he turned mostly to plays, essays and prose. during his lifetime, he published another collection of poems under the title "usoda poezije" ("the fate of poetry", 1972), which he himself edited with extensive critical and biographical commentary. javoršek gained recognition foremost as a playwright. his early plays, based on existential concerns, but filled with irony, playfulness and artistic use of language games, largely contributed to the modernization of the slovene theatre in the 1950s. in his plays, he was critical towards the established political powers and social conformism. he wrote several novels, the most notable being "hvalnica zemlji" ("an ode to the earth", 1971) and nevarna razmerja ("dangerous liaisons", 1978). but it was in his essays and memoirs that he gained most recognition and also caused most controversy. one of the first essayistic works that made him famous to the wider public was the book "kako je mogoče?" ("how is it possible?), in which he explored his feelings of desperation after the suicide of his son svit. the book is written as a dialogue between two generations that fail to comprehend each other. it is also a strong critique of the younger generation of slovenes in general - and young intellectuals in particular - whom javoršek accused of nihilism. he also published a guide through ljubljana ("vodnik po ljubljani") in which he presented the city's sights and history in the light of an ironic, philosophical and existential reflection, linking the monuments to the personal fates of the famous individuals connected with them. the epistolary novel "nevarna razmerja", a paraphrase of pierre choderlos de laclos'es famous book "les liaisons dangereuses", is written as a serial of partially authentic and partially fictitious letters between the author and several notable figures, both living and dead, among whom vitomil zupan, boris pahor, pierre emmanuel, taras kermauner, dusan pirjevec, and francesco robba. in his last works, "la memoire dangereuse" ("the dangerouse memory"), which was published in french by a parisian editing house and translated into several european languages, and "spomini na slovence" ("memories of the slovenes"), published shortly before his death, he explored his memory and gave a sometimes extremely critical accounts of his contemporaries. he wrote influential essays on molière, shakespeare, the slovenian poet lili novy and the slovene protestant preacher and pioneer of slovenian literature primož trubar. he was also an admirer of the 19th-century slovene author fran levstik and helped to republish new editions of his works. shortly before his death in 1990, he also contributed to the monograph "histoire et littérature slovènes" ("slovenian history and literature", published by the centre georges pompidou of paris. he also translated several important authors into slovene, mostly from french and serbo-croatian, among them corneille, molière, hippolyte taine, eugène ionesco, jean anouilh, edmond rostand, jean-paul sartre, albert camus, and meša selimović. during his lifetime, javoršek was considered a controversial and unique personality. his dubious relationship with the establishment, as well as his sometimes extremely acrimonious attacks on the contemporary literary circles, both slovene and french, gained him the nickname "the lonely rider". his last work, "memories of the slovenes", published partly posthumously in three parts, created a controversy and shed a new light on the slovene literary and cultural scene of the war and postwar period. among the several scabrous details described by javoršek in the copious work, are the misdeeds of the influential thinker dušan pirjevec ahac allegedly perpetrated during the war resistance, as well as the conduct of notable personalities such as the literary critic josip vidmar and the poet edvard kocbek, for whom javoršek worked as a personal secretary. the work also includes details about the personal lives of slovenian communist leaders edvard kardelj and boris kidrič. despite his negative experience in jail, javoršek remained a convinced supporter of socialism. although he started as a christian socialist, he later rejected christianity, as can be seen from his writings, and embraced a nietzschean style of vitalism and skepticism. javoršek regarded himself as being primarily a theater manager and not an intellectual or a writer. as such, he often claimed he had the license of a court jester and loved drawing parallels between himself and the famous playwrights in history who were also theatre managers, such as shakespeare, molière or carlo goldoni. he probably best explained the way in which he saw his own role in the essay "shakespeare and politics", which was written in 1965 for a volume entitled "shakespeare among the slovenes", edited by the famous literary critic france koblar and published by the "slovenska matica" publishing house. in the essay, he made the following assessment of shakespeare: if shakespeare had been a slightly more important person during his lifetime, at least as important as ben jonson, history would have provided us with more details about his life. but shakespeare was not at the top of the social ladder, he was little more than a parasite of contemporary magnates. nor did he belong to the great minds of his time. he was too uneducated to achieve such a position, as it is known. the romantic ideas according to which shakespeare was a great wit, a great historian or a great thinker, are nowadays completely rejected […]. today, it is evident that shakespeare was first of all a true dodger of his era. he used the various materials from history or from the contemporary circumstances in england in order to create attractive theatrical masterpieces. first of all, we have to understand that shakespeare never thought of theatre as literature. the theatre was a dangerous and slightly indecent institution, which every respectful and truly honored member of the society would rather avoid. this is a description of javoršek's perception of his own role in the society. although he tried to avoid direct clashes with the communist establishment after his release from jail, javoršek was one of the main driving force behind the establishment of the stage '57, an alternative theatre created in 1957 by the younger generations of slovene artists, which had a crucial role in shaping their generation against the pressures of the repressive cultural policies of the communist regime. already during his lifetime, he gained recognition in other parts of yugoslavia, especially in serbia. some consider him to be one of the best essayists in the slovene language, together with ivan cankar, marjan rožanc and drago jančar. his book "la memoire dangereuse", published in the 1980s by the french publishing house arléa, gained him an important recognition beyond yugoslav borders. the book has been translated also to german and serbo-croatian. javoršek's first wife died while he was in prison. his only son, svit, committed suicide in 1969, at the age of 23. he later remarried to the translator marija javoršek. wexs (610 am, "x61") is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary hit radio format. licensed to patillas,

founded in 1976, as age chalkida. in 2010, it merged with gymnastikos syllogos chalkida, to form ageh gymnastikos. the club competed in the greek 2nd division, during the period 2001–2008. in the 2008–09 and 2009-10 seasons, the club was relegated in two straight seasons, and ended up in the greek local regional divisions. in 2013, the club was dissolved because of financial problems. the club returned in 2017. ageh plays its home games at the tasos kampouris kanithou indoor hall, which is also located on the island of euboea, in chalcis, and has a seating capacity of 1,620 people. newark's chinatown was an unincorporated community and neighborhood within the city of newark in essex county, new jersey, united states. it was an ethnic enclave with a large percentage of chinese immigrants, centered along market street from 1875 and remaining on some scale for nearly one hundred years. the center of the neighborhood was directly east of the government center neighborhood. the first chinese businesses appeared in newark in the second half of the 19th century and in the early part of the 20th century. by the 1920s, the small area had a chinese population of over 3000. in 1910, a small lane with housing and shopping was built called mulberry arcade, connecting mulberry street and columbia street between lafayette and green streets. in the 1920s, recurring federal opium raids disrupted the community, causing many to move to more peaceful places. despite an attempt to revive the neighborhood decades later, the mulberry arcade (the center of chinatown) was removed in the 1950s. a 21st century project in the area is called mulberry commons. today there is barely any sign that a chinatown existed in the neighborhood, and only a small chinese population remains. there is a chinese restaurant on lafayette street and another on green st. nearby, the sumei multidisciplinary arts center on liberty street, in an old factory in the chinatown neighborhood, exhibits arts from various world cultures. wfab (890 am) is a radio station broadcasting a christian radio format. it is licensed to ceiba, puerto rico, united states, and it serves the puerto rico area. the station is

british thriller brought to the screen by george minter, produced by phil c. samuel, and based off a play written by campbell and dorothy christie. it was directed by bob mcnaught and starred nigel patrick, moira lister and beatrice campbell (patrick's wife) with support from michael hordern, noel purcell and a cameo role from colin gordon. cinematography was by jack asher. previous to this film version grand national night had been presented as a bbc radio serial as well as the original stage play, which was produced in 1945 and 1946. the cast of the original play was headed by leslie banks as gerald coates racehorse trainer gerald coates (nigel patrick) kills his wife babs (moira lister) during an argument. murato (, , ) is a commune in the haute-corse department of france on the island

(a research development professor). the cat is a new test for people who have acquired aphasia, the impairment of language ability. the comprehensive assessment can be completed over one or two sessions. the test contains a cognitive screening, a language battery and a disability questionnaire. the authors of the comprehensive aphasia test take account of current linguistic and psychological theory and other variable that impact aphasic performance. the cat was published in 2005 and was the first new aphasia test in english for 20 years. the test is designed to (1) screen for associated cognitive deficits,(2) assess language impairment in people with aphasia, (3) investigate the consequences of the aphasia on the individual's lifestyle and emotional well-being, and (4) monitor changes in the aphasia and its consequences over time. this test is presented in four different books: the manual, the cognitive and language test book, the disability questionnaire test book, and the scoring book which contains the score sheets for the test. the cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a wide range of tasks that can impact rehabilitation. forming the main body of the test, the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. the disability questionnaire explores the practical, psychological, and social impact of impairment from the perspective of the person living with aphasia. the disability questionnaire is optional. there are 5 receptive subtests (3 auditory comprehension, 2 visual comprehension) and 16 expressive subtest (5 repetition, 3 naming, 4 reading, 4 writing) neuropsychological deficits that could be associated with aphasia are tested in 6 subtests (line bisection, semantic memory, word fluency, recognition memory, gesture object use, arithmetic). also: see citations at google scholar:

university of delaware in the united states, whose main campus is at newark, delaware, where the university press is also based. established in the early 1970s, the udp published few books until 1975, when it joined the associated university presses (aup) consortium. this allowed the udp to choose works to publish under its imprint and control, while the aup takes charge of production and distribution. when associated university presses ceased most new publishing in 2010, a new distribution agreement was struck with rowman & littlefield. the university of delaware press publishes books in all scholarly fields, but its strengths are in literary studies, eighteenth century studies, french literature, history, the history of art, and studies of delaware and the eastern shore. st marie's church is a redundant roman catholic church in lugsdale road, widnes, cheshire, england. it is recorded in the national heritage list for england as a designated grade ii listed building. the church was built between 1862 and 1865 to accommodate the large numbers of irish immigrants who had come to work in the local chemical factories. it was opened in 1865, and designed by e. w. pugin. the church was listed at grade ii on 22 december 2006, but closed for worship early the following year. the church has been placed on the buildings at risk list by the campaign group save britain’s heritage, and has been identified by the victorian society as being one of the ten most endangered victorian buildings in britain. in 2012 a grant from the heritage lottery fund was obtained to enable the church to be converted into premises for halton and st helens voluntary action. st marie's is constructed in red brick with sandstone dressings, and has blue brick banding. it is roofed with welsh slate. the plan consists of a single cell. the nave has a polygonal apse at the east end, and there are seven-bay aisles under lean-to roofs at the sides. on the gable at the west end is a bellcote with a cross finial. at the west end are three stepped lancet windows over a double doorway. the bays of the aisles are separated by stepped buttresses, and each bay contains a pair of lancet windows. on the north side of the church is an arched doorway under a gable, the tympanum of the arch containing a mosaic with the inscription "i am the immaculate conception". at the east end of the church the aisles terminate in gables, each gable containing a circular opening and surmounted by a cross finial. each facet of the apse contains a pair of lancet windows. the arcades between the nave and the aisles are carried on slender piers. at the west end of the church is a gallery carrying the organ. at the east end of both aisles is an altar. the ceiling of the apse has painted and stencilled

hardman & co. in front of the reredos is a richly-carved altar and benediction throne under an elaborate canopy. the two-manual pipe organ was made in about 1880 by wadsworth of manchester. bgw systems is a designer and manufacturer of audio power amplifiers based in southern california in the united states. the company also manufactures other audio electronics designs as well as computer systems and sheet metal products. founded by brian gary wachner in 1971 in his garage while he was employed as a field applications engineer for national semiconductor, bgw scored its first major success in 1974 when universal studios selected bgw to supply thousands of model 750 and 750a amplifiers for its sensurround cinema subwoofer sound effects systems. following the positive industry exposure from sensurround, bgw amps began to be installed permanently in many movie theaters as well as at theme parks and nightclubs. by 1978, bgw amplifiers were installed in greater numbers in discothèques than any other amplifier. wachner co-wrote a paper for the audio engineering society (aes) in 1975, addressing the problem of differing power claims in the amplifier industry and the hope that power rating standards set by the federal trade commission would narrow the 'credibility gap'. bgw introduced an audio crossover product in 1979 and new amplifier lines in '80 and '82. by 1983, bgw's skill in sheet metal work (acquired in fabricating their substantial amplifier housings) had grown to the point of it becoming its own source of company revenue. bgw began supplying finished metal products to a number of industries, and established a bgw-branded "rack and roll" line of 19-inch rack hardware in 1991. in 1985, wachner delivered a paper to the aes regarding guidelines for power amplifier evaluation. 1987 saw the introduction of the grand touring series of amplifiers, beginning with the gta. its successor, the gtb, came out the next year. this model line, designed for the road and known for its rugged durability and conservative power rating, was adopted by many concert sound companies, some of whom became bgw dealers. wachner himself visited these dealers, flying around the united states in his private airplane to meet them. his interaction with the sound reinforcement system company owners and operators led to wachner's work on signal processing in conjunction with amplifier power in order to achieve flat power response in multi-band sound systems; a paper given to aes in may 1988. bgw systems is used as an example in a guidebook for companies seeking small business administration loans. in 1991, bgw applied for and received a loan of us$200,000 in order to extend sales internationally. by 1995, 60% of bgw's sales were from outside the us. in 1992, the bgw u86 rack-mounted computer was introduced as an entirely new product line. at the same time, the universal chassis product was introduced from the sheet metal department. thx gave their approval to the bgw m2200 self-powered subwoofer introduced in 1993. the subwoofer contained four 15" drivers, crossover circuitry, and an internal amplifier based on the grand touring series design. thx quality assurance also approved the bgw m1100 subwoofer (basically half of an m2200) in 1995 and the millennium amplifier line in 1996. bgw's prominence and wachner's involvement in the industry led to the los angeles section of aes asking wachner to chair the section for two years. brian gary wachner died of an aggressive cancer on october 22, 1997 at the age of 52. his widow, barbara wachner, had been deeply involved in company operations since its founding; she assumed the position of company president. their son, jeff wachner, became the primary public contact for bgw. steve lyle joined bgw in 2000, taking over as chief engineer. on october 20, 2003, the wachners sold bgw systems to amplifier technologies, inc. of montebello, california. under ati, bgw has introduced several new amplifier designs but has reduced its industry profile; bgw's last appearance at an industry trade show was at the namm show in january, 2003. though several of bgw's products met thx quality assurance standards in the mid-1990s extending through to 2002, bgw is no longer represented on thx product listings. julie lynn skinner (born april 23, 1968 as julie sutton in

county secondary modern in 1955 and was located in rugeley, staffordshire. later it was rebuilt and changed its name to hagley park sports college, becoming hagley park academy between 2011 - 2015. this was a mixed secondary school which was part of the creative education trust, along with fair oak academy and rugeley sixth form academy. in november 2015 the creative education trust launched a consultation on the possibility of merging its academies in rugeley. the plans would see the new school operating over two sites, with pupils in academic years 7, 8 and 9 housed at the existing fair oak academy site as a lower school and years 10, 11, 12 and 13 housed at the existing hagley park academy site as an upper school. the merger commenced on september 2016, and the hart school opened in its place, using the hagley park site to house 'upper school' years (10, 11 ,12 and 13). julia jordan is an american playwright, television writer, and screenwriter. she is a graduate of barnard

the football league. in addition, he has previously held the position of assistant referee for both the premier league and fifa, and also fulfilled that role in the 1998 fa cup final at wembley. joslin first took up the whistle in 1979, officiating in leagues local to his home town, eventually being made an assistant referee in the football league in 1992. his promotion to the premier league assistant referees' list came in 1995, perhaps unusually, as this happened before he had been appointed to referee in the football league. in 1998, he was an assistant referee for paul durkin in the fa cup final at wembley on 16 may 1998, when arsenal defeated newcastle 2–0. his promotion to the fifa list of assistant referees also came in 1995, and he was included as one of the english team of officials at euro 96. the step up to football league referee came in 1999, with his first game being the third division tie on 7 august 1999 between halifax and darlington at the shay, when the home side lost 1–0 to a marco gabbiadini goal. on 18 march 2000, he took charge of a semi-final, first leg, in the fa vase between vauxhall motors and chippenham, which finished 0–0. he was congratulated on his performance during a first division match, between ipswich town and burnley on 22 october 2002, which ended as a 2–2 draw. burnley's assistant manager sam ellis said: "we had a word with him after the game and praised him for his part in a match of such quality. the ref let the game flow, decided against using yellow cards and he certainly helped it as a spectacle". in 2004, he received praise from darlington's manager, david hodgson, after reviewing a decision made during their fa cup first round tie at home to yeovil town on 13 november 2004. "joslin ... admitted he was wrong to send [brian] close off in the closing stages", and rescinded the red card. hodgson said: "it's not often that a referee will admit he is in the wrong but he has and i think he deserves a lot of credit for that. he has taken it upon himself to ring me and ask me what i saw. i told him and he agreed that he'd made a mistake." he was an assistant referee for only the second match to be played at the "new" wembley stadium, as england under-16s played spain under-16s on 28 april 2007 in front of 28,210 people, england winning 1–0. on 13 march 2008, it was announced that phil joslin would be taking charge of the football league trophy final at wembley on 30 march 2008. the participating teams are grimsby town and mk dons. joslin has never refereed a premier league match, despite the number of years he has been at the higher levels of refereeing. he has, however, operated as fourth official in the premiership, such as during the birmingham versus liverpool match at st. andrews on 12 february 2005, for howard webb, and the liverpool versus middlesbrough encounter at anfield on 18 april 2007, for graham poll. through affiliation, he was the county referees officer for the derbyshire county football association (rather than nottinghamshire) until 2008, when he became referee development officer for the lincolnshire football association. he holds a level 3 fa referees coaching qualification, and was a tutorial participant in the fa young referees' conference at staverton park, daventry, northants, on 31 may 2007. phil has now taken up position as one of the new referee development officers at lincolnshire fa. john m. warner is a north dakota democratic-npl party member of the north dakota senate, representing the 4th district since

also licensed to ntc. an/sqs-26 was a united states navy surface ship, bow mounted, low frequency, active/passive sonar developed by the naval underwater sound laboratory and built by general electric and the edo corporation. at one point, it was installed on 87 us navy warships from the 1960s to the 1990s and may still be in use on ships transferred to other navies. the an/sqs-26 weighed . it could be operated as a passive sonar on the 1.5 khz frequency or as an active sonar at 3-4 khz. its maximum output was 240 kw and it had a range from . it had direct path, bottom reflected, passive and convergence zone (cz) capabilities. the original ax sonars were manufactured by general electric heavy military electronics. the "r" suffix was the result of a "retrofit" by ge that incorporated improved designs derived from the an/sqs-26cx sonar, also manufactured by ge. bx sonars were manufactured by edo corporation. cx sonars were manufactured by general electric heavy military electronics. an/sqs-26cx sonar performs a 360-deg, long-range sector search at low frequency. an/sqs-53 is an improved version of an/sqs-26cx and the main difference between the sqs-26cx and sqs-53 sonars is the digital computer interface with the mk 116 anti-submarine warfare (asw) weapon control system in the latter. in addition, an/sqs-53 sonar can also be fitted with the kingfisher small obstacle (mines) avoidance sonar. specification: gilbert collins was the 23rd mayor of jersey city, new jersey from may 5, 1884, to may 2, 1886. collins was born on august 26, 1846, in stonington, connecticut the son of sarah quinn and daniel webster collins. his family immigrated to american from kent, england before the american revolution. his grandfather, daniel collins was a lieutenant in a connecticut regiment during the revolution. he attended yale university, but the death of his father in 1862 forced him to leave school for financial reasons. in 1863, he moved to jersey city and studied law under jonathan dixon (who was appointed an associate justice of the new jersey supreme court in 1875). collins began practicing law in jersey city in 1869. on january 2, 1870, he married harriet kingsbury bush of jersey city. a republican, collins unsuccessfully ran for the new jersey senate in 1880. on march 25, 1884, collins was nominated for mayor by the independents of jersey city. he was also later nominated by the republicans. in the election, collins easily defeated democrat john d. mcgill by a 3,250 majority in the heavily democratic city. he served one term and was succeeded by democrat orestes cleveland. in 1892, collins was a delegate to the republican national convention in minneapolis that re-nominated benjamin harrison. on march 2, 1897, collins was appointed by governor john w. griggs as an associate justice to the new jersey supreme court and served until his resignation in 1903. he continued to practice law. collins died of pneumonia in his home in jersey city on january 29, 1920. he was buried in the family vault in hilliard cemetery in stonington. king andrianjaka razakatsitakatrandriana or andrianjakatsitakatrandriana was the king of imerina in the central highlands of madagascar from 1670–1675. he was born in analamanga as lamboritakatra, eldest son of king andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe. during his father's lifetime, andrianjakatsitakatrandriana was granted antananarivo and the land west of it, including ambohidrabiby, ambohimanga and regions in the north, as his fief. although his younger brother, andrianjakanavalondambo, demonstrated a stronger capacity for wise leadership, andrianjakatsitakatrandriana was selected to succeed upon the death of their father in 1670. andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe took this decision on the basis of the tradition established by their vazimba ancestors rafohy and rangita, who declared that the elder must rule before the younger. in 1675 andriamampandry and the nobles of imerina deposed him in favor of his younger brother. andrianjakatsitakatrandriana married twice during his life: first, ravololontsimitovy of the andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe clan, and second, rafoloarivo of the andriamanjakatokana clan. he had four sons and six daughters. his younger brother, andrianjakanavalondambo, lived in alasora during andrianjakatsitakatrandriana's reign. as king, andrianjakatsitakatrandriana soon showed himself to be stubborn and lacking in common sense. several years into his rule, popular dissatisfaction was widespread. a widely respected political adviser and elder of the noble class named andriamampandry took it upon himself to examine both brothers and rally the people to support a change in leadership. andriamampandry visited the king and requested something to eat, but andrianjakatsitakatrandriana claimed not to have anything available to share on that day. before leaving, andriamampandry asked the king, "how many hearts do you have?", to which the king replied that he had only one heart. andriamampandry then visited prince andrianjakanavalondambo, who acknowledged that it should normally be the king's right to enjoy the honor of showing hospitality to andriamampandry, but offered to share his meal with the elder nonetheless. afterward, andriamampandry asked the prince how many hearts he had, to which the prince replied that he had two. three versions of the events that followed andriamampandry's initial assessment of the two brothers were recorded in the mid-19th century "tantara ny andriana eto madagasikara", the first documenting of merina oral history. in the first version, andriamampandry rallied the public in a speech that retold his experience with the brothers and explained in figurative terms the selfishness of men with one heart and the generosity and empathy of men with two hearts. andriamampandry then left the gathering and was halfway to the royal palace when he was stopped by a man named andriamanalina who offered to express the people's concerns to the king. the two traveled to the palace and andriamanalina requested an audience. when an attendant asked his reason for wishing to see the king, andriamanalina responded with a lengthy condemnation and then departed. afterward the king discussed andriamanalina's diatribe with andriamampandry, who explained that the people were dissatisfied with him and advised him to leave the palace. the king departed, and at the same time the prince left alasora to travel to his brother's palace. the first version of the story relates that during the king's absence andriamampandry burned down the village at andohalo, just outside the palace walls. the king returned having been universally lambasted, to find andohalo burned and his younger brother occupying the palace under a new name - andriamasinavalona - given to him by andriamampandry. andrianjakatsitakatrandriana fled to the coastal kingdom of boina, where he enticed a number of sakalava soldiers to fight with him to retake the palace. the soldiers had not expected such a long journey, however, and abandoned andrianjakatsitakatrandriana before reaching the highlands. defeated, andrianjakatsitakatrandriana returned to the capital and offered his submission to his younger brother. andriamasinavalona sent him to live out his days in the village of ankadimbahoaka. the variations on this narrative are fundamentally similar. a second version recounts that the prince described himself as having "three hearts, two hearts, and one heart" (rather than just two hearts), and explains that andriamampandry tricked the king into leaving the palace by instructing him to journey to a distant location to sacrifice a zebu to the ancestors. in the third version, a primary role is given to the sampy (royal idol) named kelimalaza, to which the success of andriamasinavalona's coup is attributed. andrianjakatsitakatrandriana died in ankadimbahoaka and was buried in ambohimanatrika. the former site of the burned village at andohalo was renamed ambohimanoro ("burned hill") and the site was forbidden to all future sovereigns of imerina. the colloquium balticum is a conference series of northern european classicists who study greek and latin antiquity and its reception mainly in the

the novel is part of an unofficial trilogy with quarrington's earlier "the life of hope" and his later "logan in overtime". although none of the novels centre on the same protagonists, they all feature some background interrelationships of character and setting. the novel's protagonist is percival "king" leary, a legendary retired ice hockey player living in a smalltown nursing home in south grouse, who is invited to toronto by a young hotshot advertising executive to record a ginger ale commercial. the novel tracks his experiences on the trip, as well as exploring his past career through flashbacks. included amongst these reminiscences are his times at a juvenile reformatory as well as his years with several hockey teams. the book's cast consists of various hockey players; an aged journalist, ‘blue’ hermann, who chronicled leary’s professional life; and members of leary’s family. in addition to chronicling his experiences on the trip, the novel explores his emotional life, as ghosts from his past come to confront him about his virtual withdrawal from any kind of life outside of the nursing home. "king leary" won the stephen leacock award for humour in 1988, and was shortlisted for the trillium book award. it also won the 2008 edition of cbc radio one's "canada reads" literary competition, in which it was championed by musician and writer dave bidini. the novel, which had previously been out of print for a number of years, was republished by anchor canada in 2007 shortly after its selection for "canada reads" was announced. kavala b.c. is a greek professional basketball club that is located in kavala, greece. the club is also known as e.k. kavalas, with the club's full name being enosi kalathosfairisis kavalas, which means kavala basketball union (). the club competes in the 2nd-tier level greek a2 basket league. kavala b.c. was founded in 2003. in 2008, kavala b.c. merged with panorama b.c. to form the club kavala b.c. (men's professional team). that same year, the merged club joined the first division of greek pro basketball, the greek basket league, for the first time. the club has played six seasons in the greek top division (2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13, 2015–16). the club's best finish in the top greek league so far is sixth place, in the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons. after spending two seasons in the greek 2nd division, kavala was promoted again to the top-tier greek basket league. during the 2015–16 season, steve giatzoglou, became the team's head coach, after replacing giannis tzimas, due to the poor performances of the club to begin the season, and in order for the club to avoid relegation. eventually, the club was relegated anyway, after finishing in 14th place in the league. the college of artesia was a private liberal arts college that operated from 1966 to 1973 in artesia, new mexico. it was one of several midwestern colleges established by local civic leaders with the support and encouragement of parsons college in fairfield, iowa. these parsons "satellite schools" were by-products of the strong growth and apparent success of parsons during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and all followed the "parsons plan" academic model developed at that school. none of the schools, however, was ultimately successful. the "parsons plan" academic model employed at artesia was the brainchild of millard roberts, who was the president of parsons college from 1955 to 1967; the multi-faceted plan featured innovative teaching and administrative techniques, and emphasized the recruitment of a geographically and academically diverse student body. among other characteristics, the "parsons plan" schools welcomed unconventional students who had not seen success at other colleges. in the 1960s, the schools were also attended by a substantial number of young men seeking draft deferments that would allow them to avoid military service during the vietnam war. at least initially, artesia's reputation and fortunes were strongly tied to those of parsons, and when parsons faltered in the late 1960s the prospects for artesia and the other parsons satellite schools grew bleak. although the satellite schools ended their relationships with parsons, they suffered from a lack of funding, high student turnover, and accreditation issues. ultimately, none of the "parsons plan" colleges became economically viable, and all closed by the mid-1970s. the college of artesia closed in 1971. the former campus was occupied by artesia christian college from 1975 to 1985. on sept. 22, 1988, president ronald reagan signed the treasury, postal service and general government appropriations act, house resolution 4775, to grant the purchase, renovation, and adaptation of a former college campus in artesia, new mexico, as a federal law enforcement training center facility. the following year, fletc-artesia was officially established as a training delivery point. the original dedication ceremony was held on oct. 21, 1989. fletc-artesia currently occupies more than 3,600 acres, and is fletc’s largest training site by acreage and second largest by students trained. in 2003 all federal law enforcement training centers were transferred from united states department of the treasury to the newly created united states department of homeland security. fletc artesia trains recruits for the united states border patrol, united states secret service, bureau of indian affairs police, and the federal air marshal service. king andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe ("the noble without equal among great nobles") was the king of imerina in the central highlands of madagascar from 1650 to 1670. he acceded to the throne on the death of his father, king andriantsitakatrandriana. he had three wives: ratompoimbahoaka of ambohimalaza, princess ramahafoloarivo (granddaughter of king andrianjaka), and princess rafaravavy rampanananiamboninitany. he is responsible for establishing the rice paddies of the betsimitatatra that lie to the west of ankadimbahoaka. andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe pledged to continue his father's work to transform the bestimitatatra swamps into rice paddies to feed the growing population of imerina. he selected two of his sons to oversee the labor. the two princes challenged one another to see who could complete their dike fastest. the king proceeded to traditionally divide the territory into northern and southern halves along the ikopa river and assigned andrianjakanavalondambo to construct a southern dike at ambivy, while his eldest son and heir apparent, razakatsitakatrandriana, was tasked with building a northern dike from ankadimbahovaka to anosizato. the king positioned himself at ankadimbahovaka where he could observe the work of the entire population and both his sons' qualities of governance as they oversaw the construction of the dikes. the younger of the two boys, andrianjakanavalondambo, was the first to complete the construction of his dike. the young prince visited his father en route to brag to his elder brother, whereupon the king warned him, "younger as you are, learn to wait until the end. stay where you belong and don't bring troubles upon yourself without reason, as you are a man, my friend." his eldest son, andrianjaka razakatsitakatrandriana, was declared heir apparent and ruler of antananarivo, ambohidrabiby and ambohimanga. andrianjakanavalondambo heeded his father's advice to wait for his moment to come, and accepted the responsibility of governing the illustrious territory of alasora, as well as ambohimanjaka, antanamalaza, ifandana, ambohimanambola and andrianakotrina. after andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe's death, andrianjakanavalondambo would go on to supplant his older brother as the celebrated sovereign andriamasinavalona. andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe's two younger sons, andriandambomanafika and andriamanitrinitany, co-ruled ambohimanga and governed ambohipoloalina, respectively. andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe died at the rova of antananarivo in 1670. he was succeeded by his eldest son, andrianjaka razakatsitakatrandriana. cheryl noble (born september 29, 1956) is a canadian curler, world champion and olympic medallist. she received a bronze medal at the 2002 winter olympics in salt lake city.

old borough of hove. for centuries it was meadow land along the english channel stretching west from the old village of hove to the old mouth of the river adur, and it is now a prosperous residential area integrated within hove. there was roman activity and settlement in the area. the anglo-saxons gave it the name ealdhere's tun — ealdhere's farm — and the name appears in the domesday book as eldretune. during the high middle ages the fortunes of the village waned as the mouth of the river adur moved west to portslade, and as acres of land were lost to the sea. by the end of the sixteenth century its church dedicated to st leonard was a ruin, and though the population rallied for a time in the seventeenth century by the 1831 census, the area recorded a population of just two. the area of aldrington began to be developed from the late nineteenth century as a westward extension of hove. the church of st leonard was restored in 1878, and incorporates parts of the medieval structure. aldrington was amalgamated with hove in 1894. the ground plan of aldrington was set out on a grid-iron system, most unusual within england. the main artery running east–west is new church road, a broad and straight residential road. originally called simply church road. it was renamed new church road to reflect the opening of st philip's church in 1895. parallel with it to the south is kingsway (previously called shoreham road) which runs along the edge of the sea. parallel to the north is portland road. the identity of aldrington is as a residential area of hove. it is characterised by late nineteenth and early twentieth century villa style houses on tree-lined roads. in places, particularly along the sea-front, are more recent apartment blocks. channings (pictured) is typical of 20th century development; the colour scheme reflects the ubiquitous brighton and hove blue-green. aldrington railway station (formerly known at various times as aldrington halt, and as dyke junction) is located on the west coastway line west of hove and east of portslade. andriamanitrinitany was a member of the merina dynasty of madagascar in the 17th century. he was the 4th son of king andriantsimitoviaminandriandehibe of imerina. king andriamasinavalona granted him ambohipoloalina as his fief. he had issue one son (ratrimomiambonilahy) and two daughters (princess ravololondrenitrimo and princess ranavolontsimitoviaminandriana-dralambo i of anosivavaka). an elongated circumferential leaf base formation present on some species of palm is called a crownshaft. the leaf bases of some pinnate leaved palms (most notable being "roystonea regia" or the royal palm but also including the genera "areca", "wodyetia" and "pinanga") form a sheath at the top of the trunk surrounding the bud where all the subsequent leaves are formed. the crownshaft takes the form of a column above the main trunk and beneath the main crown of leaves and is nothing but the collection of the leaf bases of the plant, all tightly wrapped around one another. it is usually green in color but may be a different color from that of the leaves themselves, including white, blue, red, brownish or orange. each layer of the crownshaft is a distinct leaf base and is usually made of a tough fibrous material with a feel similar to leather and in many parts of the world, it is cured and used to prepare covers, sheets and roofing material. the leaf base of some palms are also used to extract coir. the oldest leaf forms the outermost layer of the crownshaft. eventually the lowest palm frond dies back, the outer layer of the crownshaft splits, the leaf unwraps and pulls away from the trunk exposing the new crownshaft surface. in time the old leaf separates at the base and falls away leaving the distinct rings and ridges of the leafbase scars seen on the trunks of many species of palm. these scars usually fade over time and the distance between two successive scars is an approximate indicator of the speed of growth of the palm. in tropical conditions when growing conditions are good, the palm grows faster and the gap between scars is large; conversely when growing conditions are not optimum, plant growth is slow and the gaps are narrower. juveniles and younger palms usually grow faster than adults; this is demonstrated by the larger gaps between scars at the base as compared to the top. in some species of palm the shaft is fairly indistinct because the leaf bases are not wrapped around each other very tightly, and the shaft becomes extended and “loose.” some palm species do not form a shaft until past the juvenile stage. the 2002 california state assembly elections were held november 5, 2002. california's state assembly in its entirety comes up for election in even numbered years. each seat has a two-year term and members are limited to three 2-year terms (six years). all 80 biennially elected seats in the assembly were up for election this year. democrats retained control of the assembly, though they lost two seats. final results from the california secretary of state: aldila, inc. is a sports equipment manufacturing company based in carlsbad, california, united states. the company specializes in oem and consumer golf club shafts, but also manufactures other carbon fiber products. aldila manufactures oem shafts for many of the major golf club manufacturers including callaway, taylormade and ping, in addition to a range of aldila branded consumer shafts. production of shafts takes place outside of the united states, vietnam, and china, while prepreg production occurs in poway. as the global economic downturn continued in late 2008, aldila reduced its workforce in light of diminishing prospects for the golf industry going into 2009. aldila, is an italian word, meaning "the next life", "the after life" or "above and beyond" depending on the context in which it is used. aldila sponsors the aldila juniors at oak tree in the american junior golf association. aldila has contracted the services of many professional golfers on an advisory basis. players, past and present, who have worked with aldila are listed below. corey schou is university professor of informatics and associate dean at idaho state university, director of the national information assurance training and education center (niatec) and the simplot decision support center (sdsc), and for ten years the chair of the colloquium for information systems security education (cisse). in the early 1980s, organizations began to recognize that connected pcs in various locations were much more vulnerable than a mainframe locked away in a single building. these organizations began seeking qualified individuals responsible for selecting, recommending and implementing security policy and procedures. however, few schools were offering information security curricula, much less academic degrees, and organizations would have to take an it professional at his or her word that they knew how to manage information security for the entire enterprise. by 1989 schou and others had established a unified common body of knowledge for computer security. schou, with idaho state university hosted the finalization meetings in salt lake city. his work was later recognized by the organization with various awards in san francisco (founder's award and the need for a professional certification to maintain and validate a common knowledge, values, and ethics for individuals in the industry became a growing concern. several it professional societies recognized that a certification program attesting to the qualifications of information security personnel was needed. schou's work is recognized several organizations such as isc2 as foundational to the information assurance discipline in academia. his work for three decades has resulted in standards used internationally by government, industry and academia. schou is a teacher and mentor whose style is described by his students and colleagues as socratic. at all levels he encourages students to excel. although he has had a full-service and research agenda, university records show that he has taught at least one class every semester for the past 30 years. he currently heads one of the scholarship for service cyber corps programs that prepares individuals to be information assurance professionals. in this program all students take a full mba program. in addition they are exposed to both courses and practicum experiences. upon completion of the program the graduates have completed all the requirements for certification by the committee on national security systems. the program is one of only three in the nation that is certified at all levels for all certifications cae. in addition, graduates are expected to sit for the systems security certified practitioner sscp and cissp examinations from (isc)2. currently the program has a 100% pass rate on the first try as documented in the university annual report to the national science foundation nsf. in 1993 he was the first non-government employee to be recognized as educator of the year by the federal information systems security educators association fissea he is the author of several books on information assurance called "information assurance for the enterprise: a roadmap to information security" mcgraw hill catalog. and over 300 referred papers and monographs. tim curran is an american author of horror fiction from the upper peninsula of michigan. his works include the novels "skin medicine", "hive", "dead sea"," resurrection"," skull moon", "the devil next door", and" biohazard". his most recent books have been "the spawning", the short story collections" bone marrow stew" and" zombie pulp", and the novellas "1867: the skulleater campaign", "the corpse king", and "fear me". jacobus groenendaal (1 november 1805 – 27 november 1860) was a south african statesman of dutch origin, member of the volksraad of the orange free state and the republic's first treasurer general and government secretary in office from 1854 to 1855 and 1856 respectively. groenendaal was born in heerewaarden, netherlands, and was one of the many dutch immigrants who settled in south africa around the middle of the nineteenth century. he was a schoolteacher by training, but quickly became an influential politician, first in the negotiations about the formation of the orange free state, and afterwards as a parliamentarian and office holder. his political career was hampered by bad health and differences of opinion with state president boshoff, and eventually cut short by his early death. groenendaal left an important political legacy in the form of the orange free state constitution, in the draft of which he played an important role. groenendaal was born in heerewaarden, the netherlands, son of a farmer in that village. he was trained as a schoolteacher, and worked in a primary school in the dutch town of amersfoort in the late 1840s. several articles written in 1848 and 1849 by professor u.g. lauts about dutch relations with south africa, and the need for dutch assistance in the field of education and public administration, inspired groenendaal to get in touch with lauts. on his recommendation groenendaal emigrated to south africa in 1849, already forty-four years old, but still single. from cape town, where he arrived with several other dutch migrants, groenendaal travelled to the orange river sovereignty, where he established himself in february 1850 as government teacher in rietrivier in sannah's poort (now fauresmith). in the years after, groenendaal strongly propagated dutch migration to south africa, bringing migrants to the orange river sovereignty privately. in this enterprise he co-operated with lauts, and they continued their 'business' after the independence of the orange free state. when circumstances for migration deteriorated, both groenendaal and lauts were criticised for their actions. the inhabitants of sannah's poort appointed groenendaal as their representative to the conference in bloemfontein of 5 september 1853, where a possible political independence of the orange river sovereignty was first discussed. during the negotiations, the delegates appointed him a member of the council of representatives, charged with the negotiations about the final take-over of sovereignty, which resulted in the orange river convention. as a member of the volksraad groenendaal and his fellow member j.m. orpen, an irishman, were the dominant forces behind the drafting of a constitution. after the formation of the orange free state groenendaal was appointed its first state secretary, a title soon changed to government secretary. he was also appointed the state's treasurer general. in april 1854 he briefly acted as state president for j.p. hoffman. groenendaal and state president hoffman did get along well together, and they briefly established a solid political and administrative basis for the new state. both groenendaal and hoffman were cripples, reason for their government to quickly gain the nickname 'the crippled government', but this did not reflect the true affairs of the state. after state president hoffman was forced to retire because of the 'gunpowder incident', groenendaal remained in office. however, his relationship with the new state president, boshoff, was much less cordial than that with hoffman. one reason was the chaotic state of affairs at the treasury, for which groenendaal was responsible, and which boshoff quickly criticised. plagued by poor health (first fevers, later a serious disease of his leg) forced groenendaal to go on leave for several months in 1855-1856. state president boshoff took the opportunity to request the volksraad to dismiss him as treasurer general. in january 1856 groenendaal was forced to resign as government secretary. the resignation was followed by a period in which groenendaal kept away from active politics, although he did get involved in political debate through letters in the local press. in these he strongly criticised boshoff's policies with regard to land speculation. groenendaal, though not a very powerful figure, still had allies in the volksraad, which appointed him member of a commission to oversee the state budget for 1858, much to the dismay of president boshoff. in november 1858, groenendaal was re-elected to the volksraad for the constituency of midden-rietrivier en grootrivier in sannah's poort fauresmith. this time, he found himself on the side of boshoff, and up against a majority of the volksraad, in the debate about unification of the orange free state with the south african republic. groenendaal, boshoff, and state attorney h.a.l. hamelberg were all for a federation with the cape colony instead. groenendaal was much occupied with the foundation of the state, both in its basic structure, its state apparatus, and its paraphernalia, like a coat of arms and a flag. at the same time he strongly pressed for international recognition, especially from the netherlands. a state press was to curb the influence of the british printing press and newspapers in the orange free state. in a sense, groenendaal was a progenitor of afrikaner (free state) nationalism. he remained an active member of the volksraad until his death. groenendaal married late in life, in 1858, with johanna antoinet helderman, widow of p.w. van der merwe. he died in his house in fauresmith, orange free state, on 27 november 1860, only fifty-five years old. yanto jones may refer to: yes indeed!! is the third album by ray charles, released in 1958 by atlantic. it was the second of three atlantic lps that compiled

at the 2002 winter olympics in salt lake city. sibutu passage is a deep channel some 18 miles (29 km) wide that separates borneo from the sulu archipelago. it has a deep sill allowing entry of deep water into the sulu basin while connecting the sulu sea with the sulawesi sea that feeds from the pacific ocean by the mindanao current. although h. otley beyer argued in favor of a settlement of the philippines across land bridges during the last ice age, modern bathymetric soundings have shown that the centers of the sibutu passage and the mindoro strait are both deep enough that they probably still existed at that time, although the sulu and other philippine islands beyond were one connected island. if verified, therefore, the callao man would have needed to have crossed open sea to reach the islands. janice rankin mbe (born 8 february 1972 as janice watt) is a scottish curler and olympic champion. she received a gold medal at the 2002 winter olympics in salt lake city, with team mates rhona martin (skip), deborah knox, fiona macdonald and margaret morton. she had been a pupil at the mary erskine school in edinburgh. jisho warner is a sōtō zen priest and abiding teacher of stone creek zen center in sonoma county, california. warner is a former president of the soto zen buddhist association, and its first female and first lgbtqi president. warner trained for many years both in japan and the united states. having graduated from harvard university in 1965, she became an artist and freelance editor. she has edited books by robert thurman, ed brown, wendy johnson, jane hirshfield, and many others. she is a co-editor of the book "opening the hand of thought" by kosho uchiyama, whose teachings she first encountered in the 1980s while practicing at the pioneer valley zendo in massachusetts under koshi ichida. she is a contributor to "receiving the marrow", a collection of essays on dogen zenji. warner was a longtime student of dainin katagiri, under whom she studied at hokyoji, a residential center in minnesota. she is a graduate of aichi senmon nisodo in nagoya, japan, where she trained under shundo aoyama. she also practiced for some years at the milwaukee zen center under tozen akiyama, from whom she received shiho, dharma transmission, in 1996. warner founded stone creek zen center in 1996 and has continued to teach there since then. in 2014 two teachers joined her in leading the growing sangha community, dojin sarah emerson and korin charlie pokorny, as part of a highly successful generational succession of temple leadership. warner has given shiho to three successors: the late joko dave haselwood, who had earlier been a notable publisher of beat and san francisco renaissance poets in the 1960s; anette joay lille, a hospice chaplain; and toan irene flynn, who teaches zen in st. augustine, florida. aging or ageing (see spelling differences) is the process of becoming older. the term refers especially to human beings, many animals, and fungi, whereas for example bacteria, perennial plants and some simple animals are potentially biologically immortal. in the broader sense, aging can refer to single cells within an organism which have ceased dividing (cellular senescence) or to the population of a species (population ageing). in humans, aging represents the accumulation of changes in a human being over time, encompassing physical, psychological, and social changes. reaction time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. aging is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases: of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds die from age-related causes. the causes of aging are uncertain; current theories are assigned to the damage concept, whereby the accumulation of damage (such as dna oxidation) may cause biological systems to fail, or to the programmed aging concept, whereby internal processes (such as dna methylation) may cause aging. programmed aging should not be confused with programmed cell death (apoptosis). in 1934, it was discovered that calorie restriction can extend lifespan by 50% in rats and this has motivated research into delaying and preventing aging. human beings and members of other species, especially animals, necessarily experience aging and mortality. fungi, too, can age. in contrast, many species can be considered immortal: for example, bacteria fission to produce daughter cells, strawberry plants grow runners to produce clones of themselves, and animals in the genus "hydra" have a regenerative ability by which they avoid dying of old age. early life forms on earth, starting at least 3.7 billion years ago, were single-celled organisms. such organisms (prokaryotes, protozoans, algae) multiply by fission into daughter cells; thus do not age and are innately immortal. aging and mortality of the individual organism became possible with the evolution of sexual reproduction, which occurred with the emergence of the fungal/animal kingdoms approximately a billion years ago, and the evolution of seed-producing plants 320 million years ago. the sexual organism could henceforth pass on some of its genetic material to produce new individuals and could itself become disposable with respect to the survival of its species. this classic biological idea has however been perturbed recently by the discovery that the bacterium "e. coli" may split into distinguishable daughter cells, which opens the theoretical possibility of "age classes" among bacteria. even within humans and other mortal species, there are cells with the potential for immortality: cancer cells which have lost the ability to die when maintained in a cell culture such as the hela cell line, and specific stem cells such as germ cells (producing ova and spermatozoa). in artificial cloning, adult cells can be rejuvenated to embryonic status and then used to grow a new tissue or animal without aging. normal human cells however die after about 50 cell divisions in laboratory culture (the hayflick limit, discovered by leonard hayflick in 1961). a number of characteristic aging symptoms are experienced by a majority or by a significant proportion of humans during their lifetimes. dementia becomes more common with age. about 3% of people between the ages of 65 and 74, 19% between 75 and 84, and nearly half of those over 85 years of age have dementia. the spectrum ranges from mild cognitive impairment to the neurodegenerative diseases of alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, parkinson's disease and lou gehrig's disease. furthermore, many types of memory decline with aging, but not semantic memory or general knowledge such as vocabulary definitions, which typically increases or remains steady until late adulthood (see aging brain). intelligence declines with age, though the rate varies depending on the type and may in fact remain steady throughout most of the lifespan, dropping suddenly only as people near the end of their lives. individual variations in rate of cognitive decline may therefore be explained in terms of people having different lengths of life. there are changes to the brain: after 20 years of age there is a 10% reduction each decade in the total length of the brain's myelinated axons. age can result in visual impairment, whereby non-verbal communication is reduced, which can lead to isolation and possible depression. older adults, however, may not suffer depression as much as younger adults, and were paradoxically found to have improved mood despite declining physical health. macular degeneration causes vision loss and increases with age, affecting nearly 12% of those above the age of 80. this degeneration is caused by systemic changes in the circulation of waste products and by growth of abnormal vessels around the retina. a distinction can be made between "proximal aging" (age-based effects that come about because of factors in the recent past) and "distal aging" (age-based differences that can be traced to a cause in a person's early life, such as childhood poliomyelitis). aging is among the greatest known risk factors for most human diseases. of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds—100,000 per day—die from age-related causes. in industrialized nations, the proportion is higher, reaching 90%. at present, researchers are only just beginning to understand the biological basis of aging even in relatively simple and short-lived organisms such as yeast. less still is known of mammalian aging, in part due to the much longer lives of even small mammals such as the mouse (around 3 years). a model organism for studying of aging is the nematode "c. elegans". thanks to its short lifespan of 2–3 weeks, our ability to easily perform genetic manipulations or to suppress gene activity with rna interference, or other factors. most known mutations and rna interference targets that extend lifespan were first discovered in "c. elegans". the factors proposed to influence biological aging fall into two main categories, "programmed" and "damage-related". programmed factors follow a biological timetable, perhaps one that might be a continuation of the one that regulates childhood growth and development. this regulation would depend on changes in gene expression that affect the systems responsible for maintenance, repair and defense responses. damage-related factors include internal and environmental assaults to living organisms that induce cumulative damage at various levels. a third, novel, concept is that aging is mediated by vicious cycles. in a detailed review, lopez-otin and colleagues (2013), who discuss aging through the lens of the damage theory, propose nine metabolic "hallmarks" of aging in various organisms but especially mammals: there are three main metabolic pathways which can influence the rate of aging, discussed below: it is likely that most of these pathways affect aging separately, because targeting them simultaneously leads to additive increases in lifespan. the rate of aging varies substantially across different species, and this, to a large extent, is genetically based. for example, numerous perennial plants ranging from strawberries and potatoes to willow trees typically produce clones of themselves by vegetative reproduction and are thus potentially immortal, while annual plants such as wheat and watermelons die each year and reproduce by sexual reproduction. in 2008 it was discovered that inactivation of only two genes in the annual plant "arabidopsis thaliana" leads to its conversion into a potentially immortal perennial plant. the oldest animals known so far are 15,000-year-old antarctic sponges, which can reproduce both sexually and clonally. clonal immortality apart, there are certain species whose individual lifespans stand out among earth's life-forms, including the bristlecone pine at 5062 years or 5067 years, invertebrates like the hard clam (known as "quahog" in new england) at 508 years, the greenland shark at 400 years, various deep-sea tube worms at over 300 years, fish like the sturgeon and the rockfish, and the sea anemone and lobster. such organisms are sometimes said to exhibit negligible senescence. the genetic aspect has also been demonstrated in studies of human centenarians. in laboratory settings, researchers have demonstrated that selected alterations in specific genes can extend lifespan quite substantially in yeast and roundworms, less so in fruit flies and less again in mice. some of the targeted genes have homologues across species and in some cases have been associated with human longevity. studies by becca levy, an associate professor of epidemiology and psychology at the yale school of public health, have found that positive beliefs about aging may also increase life span. caloric restriction substantially affects lifespan in many animals, including the ability to delay or prevent many age-related diseases. typically, this involves caloric intake of 60–70% of what an "ad libitum" animal would consume, while still maintaining proper nutrient intake. in rodents, this has been shown to increase lifespan by up to 50%; similar effects occur for yeast and "drosophila". no lifespan data exist for humans on a calorie-restricted diet, but several reports support protection from age-related diseases. two major ongoing studies on rhesus monkeys initially revealed disparate results; while one study, by the university of wisconsin, showed that caloric restriction does extend lifespan, the second study, by the national institute on aging (nia), found no effects of caloric restriction on longevity. both studies nevertheless showed improvement in a number of health parameters. notwithstanding the similarly low calorie intake, the diet composition differed between the two studies (notably a high sucrose content in the wisconsin study), and the monkeys have different origins (india, china), initially suggesting that genetics and dietary composition, not merely a decrease in calories, are factors in longevity. however, in a comparative analysis in 2014, the wisconsin researchers found that the allegedly non-starved nia control monkeys in fact are moderately underweight when compared with other monkey populations, and argued this was due to the nia's apportioned feeding protocol in contrast to wisconsin's truly unrestricted "ad libitum" feeding protocol. they conclude that moderate calorie restriction rather than extreme calorie restriction is sufficient to produce the observed health and longevity benefits in the studied rhesus monkeys. in his book "how and why we age", hayflick says that caloric restriction may not be effective in humans, citing data from the baltimore longitudinal study of aging which shows that being thin does not favour longevity. similarly, it is sometimes claimed that moderate "obesity" in later life may improve survival, but newer research has identified confounding factors such as weight loss due to terminal disease. once these factors are accounted for, the optimal body weight above age 65 corresponds to a leaner body mass index of 23 to 27. alternatively, the benefits of dietary restriction can also be found by changing the macro nutrient profile to reduce protein intake without any changes to calorie level, resulting in similar increases in longevity. dietary protein restriction not only inhibits mtor activity but also igf-1, two mechanisms implicated in aging. specifically, reducing leucine intake is sufficient to inhibit mtor activity, achievable through reducing animal food consumption. the mediterranean diet is credited with lowering the risk of heart disease and early death. the major contributors to mortality risk reduction appear to be a higher consumption of vegetables, fish, fruits, nuts and monounsaturated fatty acids, i.e., olive oil. the amount of sleep has an impact on mortality. people who live the longest report sleeping for six to seven hours each night. lack of sleep (<5 hours) more than doubles the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, but too much sleep (>9 hours) is associated with a doubling of the risk of death, though not primarily from cardiovascular disease. sleeping more than 7 to 8 hours per day has been consistently associated with increased mortality, though the cause is probably other factors such as depression and socioeconomic status, which would correlate statistically. sleep monitoring of hunter-gatherer tribes from africa and from south america has shown similar sleep patterns across continents: their average sleeping duration is 6.4 hours (with a summer/winter difference of 1 hour), afternoon naps (siestas) are uncommon, and insomnia is very rare (tenfold less than in industrial societies). physical exercise may increase life expectancy. people who participate in moderate to high levels of physical exercise have a lower mortality rate compared to individuals who are not physically active. moderate levels of exercise have been correlated with preventing aging and improving quality of life by reducing inflammatory potential. the majority of the benefits from exercise are achieved with around 3500 metabolic equivalent (met) minutes per week. for example, climbing stairs 10 minutes, vacuuming 15 minutes, gardening 20 minutes, running 20 minutes, and walking or bicycling for 25 minutes on a daily basis would "together" achieve about 3000 met minutes a week. avoidance of chronic stress (as opposed to acute stress) is associated with a slower loss of telomeres in most but not all studies, and with decreased cortisol levels. a chronically high cortisol level compromises the immune system, causes cardiac damage/arterosclerosis and is associated with facial aging, and the latter in turn is a marker for increased morbidity and mortality. a meta-analysis shows that loneliness carries a higher mortality risk than smoking. stress can be countered by social connection, spirituality, and (for men more clearly than for women) married life, all of which are associated with longevity. the following drugs and interventions have been shown to slow or reverse the biological effects of aging in animal models, but none has yet been proven to do so in humans. evidence in both animals and humans suggests that resveratrol may be a caloric restriction mimetic. , metformin was under study for its potential effect on slowing aging in the worm "c.elegans" and the cricket. its effect on otherwise healthy humans is unknown. rapamycin was first shown to extend lifespan in eukaryotes in 2006 by powers "et al." who showed a dose-responsive effect of rapamycin on lifespan extension in yeast cells. in a 2009 study, the lifespans of mice fed rapamycin were increased between 28 and 38% from the beginning of treatment, or 9 to 14% in total increased maximum lifespan. of particular note, the treatment began in mice aged 20 months, the equivalent of 60 human years. rapamycin has subsequently been shown to extend mouse lifespan in several separate experiments, and is now being tested for this purpose in nonhuman primates (the marmoset monkey). cancer geneticist ronald a. depinho and his colleagues published research on mice where telomerase activity was first genetically removed. then, after the mice had prematurely aged, they restored telomerase activity by reactivating the telomerase gene. as a result, the mice were rejuvenated: shrivelled testes grew back to normal and the animals regained their fertility. other organs, such as the spleen, liver, intestines and brain, recuperated from their degenerated state. "[the finding] offers the possibility that normal human aging could be slowed by reawakening the enzyme in cells where it has stopped working" says ronald depinho. however, activating telomerase in humans could potentially encourage the growth of tumours. most known genetic interventions in "c. elegans" increase lifespan by 1.5 to 2.5-fold. , the record for lifespan extension in c. "elegans" is a single-gene mutation which increases adult survival by tenfold. the strong conservation of some of the mechanisms of aging discovered in model organisms imply that they may be useful in the enhancement of human survival. however, the benefits may not be proportional; longevity gains are typically greater in "c. elegans" than fruit flies, and greater in fruit flies than in mammals. one explanation for this is that mammals, being much longer-lived, already have many traits which promote lifespan. some research effort is directed to slow aging and extend healthy lifespan. in 1993, the established populations for epidemiologic studies of the elderly, also known as the yale health and aging study, showed the importance of physical activity and argued against negative stereotypes concerning old age. the us national institute on aging currently funds an intervention testing programme, whereby investigators nominate compounds (based on specific molecular aging theories) to have evaluated with respect to their effects on lifespan and age-related biomarkers in outbred mice. previous age-related testing in mammals has proved largely irreproducible, because of small numbers of animals and lax mouse husbandry conditions. the intervention testing programme aims to address this by conducting parallel experiments at three internationally recognised mouse aging-centres, the barshop institute at uthscsa, the university of michigan at ann arbor and the jackson laboratory. several companies and organisations, such as google calico, human longevity, craig venter, gero, sens research foundation, and science for life extension in russia, declared stopping or delaying aging as their goal. prizes for extending lifespan and slowing aging in mammals exist. the methuselah foundation offers the mprize. recently, the $1 million palo alto longevity prize was launched. it is a research incentive prize to encourage teams from all over the world to compete in an all-out effort to "hack the code" that regulates our health and lifespan. it was founded by joon yun. different cultures express age in different ways. the age of an adult human is commonly measured in whole years since the day of birth. arbitrary divisions set to mark periods of life may include: juvenile (via infancy, childhood, preadolescence, adolescence), early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. more casual terms may include "teenagers", "tweens", "twentysomething", "thirtysomething", etc. as well as "denarian", "vicenarian", "tricenarian", "quadragenarian", etc. most legal systems define a specific age for when an individual is allowed or obliged to do particular activities. these age specifications include voting age, drinking age, age of consent, age of majority, age of criminal responsibility, marriageable age, age of candidacy, and mandatory retirement age. admission to a movie for instance, may depend on age according to a motion picture rating system. a bus fare might be discounted for the young or old. each nation, government and non-governmental organisation has different ways of classifying age. in other words, chronological aging may be distinguished from "social aging" (cultural age-expectations of how people should act as they grow older) and "biological aging" (an organism's physical state as it ages). ageism cost the united states $63 billion in one year according to a yale school of public health study. in a unfpa report about aging in the 21st century, it highlighted the need to "develop a new rights-based culture of ageing and a change of mindset and societal attitudes towards ageing and older persons, from welfare recipients to active, contributing members of society". unfpa said that this "requires, among others, working towards the development of international human rights instruments and their translation into national laws and regulations and affirmative measures that challenge age discrimination and recognise older people as autonomous subjects". older people's music participation contributes to the maintenance of interpersonal relationships and promoting successful aging. at the same time, older persons can make contributions to society including caregiving and volunteering. for example, "a study of bolivian migrants who [had] moved to spain found that 69% left their children at home, usually with grandparents. in rural china, grandparents care for 38% of children aged under five whose parents have gone to work in cities." population aging is the increase in the number and proportion of older people in society. population aging has three possible causes: migration, longer life expectancy (decreased death rate) and decreased birth rate. aging has a significant impact on society. young people tend to have fewer legal privileges (if they are below the age of majority), they are more likely to push for political and social change, to develop and adopt new technologies, and to need education. older people have different requirements from society and government, and frequently have differing values as well, such as for property and pension rights. in the 21st century, one of the most significant population trends is aging. currently, over 11% of the world's current population are people aged 60 and older and the united nations population fund (unfpa) estimates that by 2050 that number will rise to approximately 22%. aging has occurred due to development which has enabled better nutrition, sanitation, health care, education and economic well-being. consequently, fertility rates have continued to decline and life expectancy has risen. life expectancy at birth is over 80 now in 33 countries. aging is a "global phenomenon", that is occurring fastest in developing countries, including those with large youth populations, and poses social and economic challenges to the work which can be overcome with "the right set of policies to equip individuals, families and societies to address these challenges and to reap its benefits". as life expectancy rises and birth rates decline in developed countries, the median age rises accordingly. according to the united nations, this process is taking place in nearly every country in the world. a rising median age can have significant social and economic implications, as the workforce gets progressively older and the number of old workers and retirees grows relative to the number of young workers. older people generally incur more health-related costs than do younger people in the workplace and can also cost more in worker's compensation and pension liabilities. in most developed countries an older workforce is somewhat inevitable. in the united states for instance, the bureau of labor statistics estimates that one in four american workers will be 55 or older by 2020. among the most urgent concerns of older persons worldwide is income security. this poses challenges for governments with aging populations to ensure investments in pension systems continues in order to provide economic independence and reduce poverty in old age. these challenges vary for developing and developed countries. unfpa stated that, "sustainability of these systems is of particular concern, particularly in developed countries, while social protection and old-age pension coverage remain a challenge for developing countries, where a large proportion of the labour force is found in the informal sector." the global economic crisis has increased financial pressure to ensure economic security and access to health care in old age. in order to elevate this pressure "social protection floors must be implemented in order to guarantee income security and access to essential health and social services for all older persons and provide a safety net that contributes to the postponement of disability and prevention of impoverishment in old age". it has been argued that population aging has undermined economic development. evidence suggests that pensions, while making a difference to the well-being of older persons, also benefit entire families especially in times of crisis when there may be a shortage or loss of employment within households. a study by the australian government in 2003 estimated that "women between the ages of 65 and 74 years contribute a$16 billion per year in unpaid caregiving and voluntary work. similarly, men in the same age group contributed a$10 billion per year." due to increasing share of the elderly in the population, health care expenditures will continue to grow relative to the economy in coming decades. this has been considered as a negative phenomenon and effective strategies like labour productivity enhancement should be considered to deal with negative consequences of aging. in the field of sociology and mental health, aging is seen in five different views: aging as maturity, aging as decline, aging as a life-cycle event, aging as generation, and aging as survival. positive correlates with aging often include economics, employment, marriage, children, education, and sense of control, as well as many others, being acknowledged that resources and reserves can influence aging differently. the social science of aging includes disengagement theory, activity theory, selectivity theory, and continuity theory. retirement, a common transition faced by the elderly, may have both positive and negative consequences. as cyborgs currently are on the rise some theorists argue there is a need to develop new definitions of aging and for instance a bio-techno-social definition of aging has been suggested. there is a current debate as to whether or not the pursuit of longevity and the postponement of senescence are cost-effective health care goals given finite health care resources. because of the accumulated infirmities of old age, bioethicist ezekiel emanuel, opines that the pursuit of longevity via the compression of morbidity hypothesis is a "fantasy" and that human life is not worth living after age 75; longevity then should not be a goal of health care policy. this opinion has been contested by neurosurgeon and medical ethicist miguel faria, who states that life can be worthwhile during old age, and that longevity should be pursued in association with the attainment of quality of life. faria claims that postponement of senescence as well as happiness and wisdom can be attained in old age in a large proportion of those who lead healthy lifestyles and remain intellectually active. with age inevitable biological changes occur that increase the risk of illness and disability. unfpa states that, "a life-cycle approach to health care – one that starts early, continues through the reproductive years and lasts into old age – is essential for the physical and emotional well-being of older persons, and, indeed, all people. public policies and programmes should additionally address the needs of older impoverished people who cannot afford health care." many societies in western europe and japan have aging populations. while the effects on society are complex, there is a concern about the impact on health care demand. the large number of suggestions in the literature for specific interventions to cope with the expected increase in demand for long-term care in aging societies can be organised under four headings: improve system performance; redesign service delivery; support informal caregivers; and shift demographic parameters. however, the annual growth in national health spending is not mainly due to increasing demand from aging populations, but rather has been driven by rising incomes, costly new medical technology, a shortage of health care workers and informational asymmetries between providers and patients. a number of health problems become more prevalent as people get older. these include mental health problems as well as physical health problems, especially dementia. it has been estimated that population aging only explains 0.2 percentage points of the annual growth rate in medical spending of 4.3% since 1970. in addition, certain reforms to the medicare system in the united states decreased elderly spending on home health care by 12.5% per year between 1996 and 2000. the beauty standards are constantly evolving over decades due to increased perception of esthetics. because of that, the cosmeceutical industry is expanding and gradually becoming a part of many people's personal care routine. cosmeceutical is currently the fastest growing beauty industry, with more than $42 billion in 2018. the demand for cosmeceutical is growing, especially in asia. korea is currently in the forefront of research and development in creating the newest cosmeceutical products with antiaging and antimelanogenic effects including ingredients such as snail secretions, botanical extract, green tea and red ginseng. cryptomphalus aspersa secretion (or brown garden snail secretion) has been found to have antioxidant properties, increase skin cell proliferation, as well as increasing extracellular protein such as collagen and fibronectin (important proteins for cell proliferation). positive self-perception of health has been correlated with higher well-being and reduced mortality in the elderly. various reasons have been proposed for this association; people who are objectively healthy may naturally rate their health better than that of their ill counterparts, though this link has been observed even in studies which have controlled for socioeconomic status, psychological functioning and health status. this finding is generally stronger for men than women, though this relationship is not universal across all studies and may only be true in some circumstances. as people age, subjective health remains relatively stable, even though objective health worsens. in fact, perceived health improves with age when objective health is controlled in the equation. this phenomenon is known as the "paradox of aging". this may be a result of social comparison; for instance, the older people get, the more they may consider themselves in better health than their same-aged peers. elderly people often associate their functional and physical decline with the normal aging process. the concept of "successful aging" can be traced back to the 1950s and was popularised in the 1980s. traditional definitions of successful aging have emphasised absence of physical and cognitive disabilities. in their 1987 article, rowe and kahn characterised successful aging as involving three components: a) freedom from disease and disability, b) high cognitive and physical functioning, and c) social and productive engagement. the ancient greek dramatist euripides (5th century bc) describes the multiple-headed mythological monster hydra as having a regenerative capacity which makes it immortal, which is the historical background to the name of the biological genus hydra. the book of job (c. 6th century bc) describes human lifespan as inherently limited and makes a comparison with the innate immortality that a felled tree may have when undergoing vegetative regeneration. the sun belt conference men's basketball tournament has been played every year since the formation of the sun belt conference for the 1976–77 academic year. the winner of the tournament is guaranteed an automatic berth into the ncaa division i men's basketball tournament. the size and format of the sun belt tournament has varied widely since its establishment in 1976. the size of the conference has ranged between a minimum of six teams and as many as thirteen. nonetheless, the tournament has consistently utilized a simple single-elimination style tournament. through the 2018 edition of the tournament, with a few exceptions, all conference members were typically invited to each tournament. depending on the total number of teams in the league during a particular year, higher-seeded teams have sometimes received byes into the quarterfinal or semifinal rounds. teams have always been seeded based on regular season conference records, although some modifications were made when the league was split into divisions during the 2000s. during the 2018 offseason, the conference announced radical changes to its basketball scheduling and tournament format. a year later, many of these changes were reevaluated and placed on hold; the ones listed here remained in place. with some exceptions, the tournament has historically been played at the home gym of one of the conference's members (e.g. louisiana's cajundome, north texas' unt coliseum) or at a major arena in a nearby city (e.g. mobile civic center near south alabama). some of the more common host venues have included the charlotte coliseum in charlotte, north carolina (charlotte), the birmingham jefferson convention complex in birmingham, alabama (uab), barton coliseum in little rock, arkansas (little rock), and e.a. diddle arena in bowling green, kentucky (western kentucky). however, the tournament has been hosted at a neutral arena site each year since 2009 (hot springs, arkansas and new orleans, louisiana). lakefront arena in new orleans had previously hosted the event in 2002 when uno was still a sun belt member, but the privateers have since departed the conference. the only other neutral sites to host a sun belt tournament were the hampton coliseum in hampton, virginia (1985) and the mississippi coast coliseum in biloxi, mississippi (1992–1993). the sun belt has a storied basketball history, sending multiple teams into the ncaa tournament in the 1980s and 1990s (most recently 1994), and then again in 2008 when both regular season champion south alabama, and tournament winner western kentucky received bids, and in 2013 with western kentucky and middle tennessee. charlotte, then known athletically as unc charlotte, reached the final four in 1977, and future sun belt member western kentucky reached the final four in 1971. overall, past and present sun belt schools have posted 21 wins in the ncaa tournament during the time they were conference members. madhavendra puri ("" in iast) also known as "madhavendra puri goswami" is a vaishnava saint who appeared in the 14th century. he was initiated in to dvaita vedanta of madhvacharya of udupi region of karnataka, and was highly revered in vallabhacharya's pushtimarg and chaitanya mahaprabhu's gaudiya vaishnavism, both sects that emanate from the famed vrindavan region. very little is known about the early years of madhavendra puri, as from the majority of sources he had already become a renunciant - a "sannyasi". after making an extensive pilgrimage of india as a "sannyasi" he passed the remaining period of his life in vrndavana and orissa. the main source of knowledge about this personality is caitanya caritamrita. what is known is that he was a "sannyasi" of the madhva line being a disciple of lakshmipati tirtha and it appears that madhavendra was the founder of the vaishnava centre at mathura, vrindavana. he is considered as a fountainhead of devotional worship of krishna and he started the worship of the gopala deity, better known as shrinathji. he is attributed to the mysterious discovery of the famous deity of gopala near govardhana that was later worshipped by vallabhacharya, a follower of vishnuswami in rudra sampradaya, who in turn was influenced by the devotional mood of vrindavana. he is also famed for receiving direct instructions and gifts from the deity of gopinatha, who commanded him to travel for the supply of scarce sandal wood paste from orissa to the malaya mountains. madhavendra puri is often accepted as initial inspiration or initiator of the movement of chaitanya mahaprabhu, who accepted madhavendras intimate disciple, isvara puri as his "diksa guru". he is believed to have been preaching the principles of gaudiya vaishnavism prior to caitanya. it is believed that caitanya mahaprabhu’s service in feelings of separation "viraha "begins with a single verse spoken by madhavendra puri, (his grand preceptor): "o, my beloved lord, the friend of the afflicted! he mathura-natha, when, when shall i see you? without seeing you, my heart is perplexed, my beloved, and i am very restless! what am i to do?" in accordance with gaudiya vaishnava sources he is believed to belong to the madhvacharya lineage that has been transcribed in books like "gaura-ganoddesa-dipika", "prameya-ratnavali" and the writings of gopala guru goswami. there is a version of this line of gurus recorded as a version found in the "gaura-ganoddesa-dipika" which matches other historical records. he had many disciples but advaita acarya and isvara puri are believed to be the chief disciples of madhavendra puri. the early history of the famous deity of khirachora gopinatha (ksirachora gopinath) is not given in gaudiya texts – it is given by vinod bijaya babaji in gopinatha caritamrta. however, there is a large account of his interactions with this deity in caitanya caritamrita, the foundational book for the gaudiya vaishnavas. madhavendra puri died in remuna. his memorial samādhi and sandals are still worshiped there. it is a place of pilgrimage for many vaishnava groups. biotechnology consulting (or biotech consulting) refers to the practice of assisting organizations involved in research and commercialization of biotechnology in improving their methods and efficiency of production, and approaches to r&d. this assistance is usually provided in the form of specialized technological advice and sharing of expertise. both start-up and established organizations would hire biotechnology consultants mainly to receive an independent and professional advice from key opinion leaders, individuals with extensive knowledge and experience in a particular area of biotechnology or biological sciences, and, often, to outsource their projects for implementation by well qualified individuals. large management consulting firms would often be able to provide technological advice as well, depending on the qualifications of their consulting team. with the growth of pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology consulting has recently developed into an industry of its own and separated from the management consulting industry that traditionally also provides technological advice on r&d projects to various industries. this has also been fueled by the impact various conflicts of interests can have on commercialization when biotechnology organizations contract services from academic institutions or government scientists this is exemplified by the successful emergence of many consulting companies dedicated exclusively to servicing the biotech industry. occasionally, university professors and phd students engage in biotechnology consulting, either commercially or free of charge. a special type of consulting is patent strategy and management consulting or simply patent consulting which specifically emphasizes on the scope of patent rights versus r&d in industry. it also assets successful commercialization of patentable matter. the primary aim of patent consulting company is to assist various small, medium and large corporation in realizing their research project toward successful patent registration with minimized danger of infringement and other risks that patent registrations may be subjected to prior to commercialization. one example of patent consulting firm is "the patent world". margaret morton (born 29 january 1968) is a scottish curler and olympic champion. she received a gold medal at the 2002 winter olympics in salt lake city. with team mates rhona martin (skip), deborah knox, fiona macdonald and janice rankin. welshfield (also troy, troy center, troy centre, or wellsfield) is an unincorporated community in central troy township, geauga county, ohio, united states. it lies at the intersection of u.s. route 422 and state route 700, 1 mi (1½ km) east of the cuyahoga river and 3 mi (5 km) east of the ladue reservoir. its elevation is 1,234 feet (376 m). the community once had a post office that was established on 23 february 1838. when it was discontinued on 30 december 1958, the burton office began to handle mail for welshfield addresses. welshfield was named for jacob welsh, a pioneer settler. jacob welsh helped build a local church and school in exchange for the naming rights. the east central conference is a high school athletic conference of teams in the east central wisconsin area. the ecc was founded in 1970 and originally disbanded in 2007. the conference was revived for the 2015-2016 school year, the result of a realignment within the wisconsin interscholastic athletic association. the ecc was founded in 1970 with berlin, hortonville, new london, omro, ripon, waupaca, weyauwega and winneconne as the original members. in 1973, weyauwega left for the central wisconsin conference (cwc) and was replaced by former cwc member little chute the following year. in 1979, new london left to join the bay conference in exchange for former cwc member wautoma. in 1995, waupun joined for football only as wautoma transferred to the flyway conference for football. in 1999, hortonville, little chute and waupaca joined the newly formed valley 8 conference, while waupun became a full-time member. that year, laconia and markesan also joined the conference. in 2001, the ecc merged with the flyway conference. the conference was briefing named the east central-flyway conference and consisted of two divisions: the rivers and the lakes. the conference was restructured again in 2006 as the flyway conference split with the ecc. the conference was fully disbanded in 2007 with four of the remaining ecc teams joining former valley 8 conference teams to form the eastern valley conference. during the realignment of several conferences within northeastern wisconsin, eight schools were joined to form a new conference. members included: berlin, campellsport, kewaskum, kettle moraine lutheran, plymouth, ripon, waupun and winneconne. the members choose to name the new conference the east central conference as several members were once part of the original ecc. in 2001, the conference merged with the wisconsin flyway conference to form the east central-flyway. at that time, the conference was split into two divisions: the lakes and the rivers. the divisions were in place until 2006 when several teams moved to different conferences. mayville played in the lakes for football along with springs for a few years. markesan & laconia also played in the rivers only for football only but in the lakes for all other sports. tell () is a palestinian town in the nablus governorate in northern west bank, located five kilometers southwest of nablus. according to the palestinian central bureau of statistics (pcbs), the town had a population of 4,334 inhabitants in 2007. most of the town's laborers work in agriculture, with figs and olives being the major source of income. mohammad shtayyeh, a palestinian economist and politician, was born in tell. ceramics from the byzantine era have been found here. in 1517, the village was included in the ottoman empire with the rest of palestine, and it appeared in the 1596 tax-records as "till", located in the "nahiya" of jabal qubal of the "liwa" of nablus. the population was 46 households, all muslim. they paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues, a press for olive oil or grape syrup, and a fixed tax for people of nablus area; a total of 5,100 akçe. in 1838, "till" was located in the district of "jurat 'amra", south of nablus. in 1863, victor guérin found it to have a population of one thousand inhabitants. it was divided into several districts, each administered by a different sheikh. he further noted: "some houses are large and fairly well built. around the village grow, in pens, beautiful plantations of fig and pomegranate trees." in 1882, the palestine exploration fund's "survey of western palestine" described "till" as: "a village of moderate size on low ground, with a high mound behind it on the south ; it has a well and a few trees, and on the west a pool in winter ; the hills to the north are bare and white, but terraced to the very top." in the 1922 census of palestine conducted by the british mandate authorities, "tel" had a population of 567 muslims, increasing in the 1931 census to 803 muslims, in 209 houses. in the 1945 statistics the population was 1,060 muslims, while the total land area was 13,766 dunams, according to an official land and population survey. of this, 1,056 dunams were for plantations and irrigable land, 7,023 for cereals, while 55 dunams were classified as built-up areas. in the wake of the 1948 arab–israeli war, and after the 1949 armistice agreements, tell came under jordanian rule. the jordanian census of 1961 found 1,539 inhabitants. after the six-day war in 1967, tell has been under israeli occupation along with the rest of the palestinian territories. svarupa damodara, / swarup damodar also known as purushottama acharya was a gaudiya vaishnava saint and close associate of chaitanya mahaprabhu. he lived in navadvipa. he always stayed with chaitanya. purushottama acharya did not accept the dress of a sannyasi, but only gave up the shikha and sacred thread. his name became svarupa. after this, taking up the order of his sannyasa-guru, purushottama acharya went to jagannatha puri. at that time, he again met with chaitanya. swarup damodar was the avatar of lalita sakhi of vraj mandal dham ,in the nawadeep lila lalita sakhi appeared as swarup damodar goswami. svarupa damodara always stayed near the lord. whatever mood the lord was in, svarupa damodara would perform kirtan to augment the lord's internal sentiments.  around the same time that svarupa damodara came to puri, shri ramananda raya arrived from vidyanagara. shri ramananda raya was a great poet and could explain everything in a very elegant style. shri chaitanya mahaprabhu heard many valuable and secrets of bhakti tatva ,prem tatva, radha krishna tatta,ras tatva and many other topics from ramanand rai, in south india near the bank of river godavari river . nguruman escarpment is an escarpment in southern kenya. the escarpment is around 50 kilometres long and elongated in n-w direction. its northern edge approximately 120 km southwest of nairobi, while the southern edge is near the tanzanian border, at the northwestern corner of lake natron. the southern ewaso ng'iro river flows southward along the foot of the escarpment, while loita hills are located west of the escarpment. the escarpment forms the western wall of the great rift valley. below it are the vast plains and the volcanic hills of the great rift valley and in the distance are lake magadi and lake natron. the valley floor is about 900m above sea level, while the elevation of the crest of the escarpment is about 2300m. the shompole conservancy is located along nguruman escarpment. universal studios studio tour could refer to: changiostyrax is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family styracaceae. its only member species is changiostyrax dolichocarpa, formerly known as "sinojackia dolichocarpa". it is endemic to central china in hunan province, where it occurs at altitudes of 400–500 m. it is threatened by habitat loss. an exhaustive survey of its range during the decade from 1995 to 2005 revealed only six extant populations, one of which has since been destroyed. it is a small deciduous tree growing to 10–12 m tall. the leaves are alternate, simple, 8–13 cm long and 3.5–4.8 cm broad, oblong-lanceolate, with a serrated margin and a 4–7 mm petiole. an optimal decision is a decision that leads to at least as good a known or expected outcome as all other available decision options. it is an important concept in decision theory. in order to compare the different decision outcomes, one commonly assigns a utility value to each of them. if there is uncertainty as to what the outcome will be, then under the von neumann–morgenstern axioms the optimal decision maximizes the expected utility (a probability–weighted average of utility over all possible outcomes of a decision). sometimes, the equivalent problem of minimizing the expected value of loss is considered, where loss is (–1) times utility. "utility" is only an arbitrary term for quantifying the desirability of a particular decision outcome and not necessarily related to "usefulness." for example, it may well be the optimal decision for someone to buy a sports car rather than a station wagon, if the outcome in terms of another criterion (e.g., effect on personal image) is more desirable, even given the higher cost and lack of versatility of the sports car. the problem of finding the optimal decision is a mathematical optimization problem. in practice, few people verify that their decisions are optimal, but instead use heuristics to make decisions that are "good enough"—that is, they engage in satisficing. a more formal approach may be used when the decision is important enough to motivate the time it takes to analyze it, or when it is too complex to solve with more simple intuitive approaches, such as many available decision options and a complex decision–outcome relationship. each decision formula_1 in a set formula_2 of available decision options will lead to an outcome formula_3. all possible outcomes form the set formula_4. assigning a utility formula_5 to every outcome, we can define the utility of a particular decision formula_1 as we can then define an optimal decision formula_8 as one that maximizes formula_9 : solving the problem can thus be divided into three steps: in case it is not possible to predict with certainty what will be the outcome of a particular decision, a probabilistic approach is necessary. in its most general form, it can be expressed as follows: given a decision formula_1, we know the probability distribution for the possible outcomes described by the conditional probability density formula_18. considering formula_9 as a random variable (conditional on formula_1), we can calculate the expected utility of decision formula_1 as where the integral is taken over the whole set formula_4 (degroot, pp 121). an optimal decision formula_8 is then one that maximizes formula_25, just as above: an example is the monty hall problem. cfrg-fm is a french language radio station that operates at 93.1 fm in gravelbourg, saskatchewan. it retains the call sign formerly used by cfrg, a now-defunct private affiliate of radio-canada which aired in gravelbourg from 1952 to 1975. the station was licensed by the canadian radio-television and telecommunications commission in 2003. the station is a member of the alliance des radios communautaires du canada. capital high school is a public high school located in charleston, west virginia, united states. the original high school in the city was charleston high school, locally known as "the high," serving the entire city. in 1940 the school had become overcrowded and the district was divided at the elk river, with the west side of town attending the new stonewall jackson high school ("the wall"). during the 1980s, enrollment at both schools dropped. in 1989, capital high school opened, combining the students of these two longtime rivals. the name "capital" derives from the fact that the school primarily serves the bulk of west virginia's capital city, charleston. the first site considered was near laidley field, next to the west virginia state capitol. this was abandoned in favor of a track and field hall of fame (which was never built) and a second site was selected on greenbrier street near the airport. however, when an airplane crashed on this site, it was abandoned, and today is an office park. the board then decided on a location on a hilltop about five miles from town that was formerly a country club for golfing and had a swimming pool. although located in a rural setting, it is typically considered an inner-city school due the majority of its students coming from an inner-city environment. this system of busing from an urban location to a closed campus in a remote setting was successful in controlling many urban problems and was later copied by huntington high school and wheeling park high school. it is a modern school, built in 1989. it has a closed campus. it has a student population of around 1,400. capital high school is kanawha county's magnet school for the performing arts. it is the only high school in kanawha county to offer a performing arts class every period of the day. from its establishment, capital high school has a history of excellence in both academic and athletic competitions. "academic" "athletic" in 2007, capital high was chosen by rodgers and hammerstein theatricals as one of six pilot schools to perform "the phantom of the opera". the schools were chosen to determine how well amateur groups could perform the musical. the capital performing arts centre hosted five shows from may 1 to may 4, 2008. members of each performing arts group were involved in the production. capital high is kanawha county's magnet school for the performing arts, offering a class in performing arts every period of the day. these include the capital high dance company, the capital high theatre department, the capital high v.i.p.s (voices in perfection) show choir, the capital high orchestra, and "the pride of capital high" marching and concert band as well as the capital high school jazz ensemble. each group has won numerous awards throughout the state of west virginia, as well as outside of the state. the capital high theatre department is directed by jeffery haught. in 2015, the capital high school theatre department won outstanding technical school and outstanding technical theatre student at the west virginia state thespian festival. the capital high dance company, accompanied by the capital high jazz band, was selected to perform at "arts alive: the best of west virginia," held on april 28, 2008 at the maier foundation performance hall at the clay center for the arts and sciences. the capital high dance company has also performed at the wv dance festival, the wv secondary dance alliance weekend celebration, scores, and for festival 2009. they have also won numerous awards over the years. the director is tabitha a. moore. the capital high v.i.p.s (voices in perfection) show choir have won numerous grand championships and awards since the school's opening in 1989. the director is kathleen g. corbett, who has been the director of vocal music since the school's opening. corbett is also the head of capital's performing arts department. the capital high orchestra, combined with the south charleston high school orchestra, took first place high school orchestra and best overall orchestra at music in the parks competition. they were also invited to the 2009 national orchestra festival held march 18–21, 2009 in atlanta, georgia. the director is dr. jeffrey lipscomb. "the pride of capital high" marching band is the result of hard-working students. with the first marching competition season came two grand championships, a marching style second to none, and what is called the trademark bow. since the school's opening, the pride of capital high has won over 70 grand championships. the pride of capital high, along with the seven other public high schools in kanawha county, compete in the gazette-mail kanawha county majorette and band festival. 2007 marked the tenth win for the band at the festival and the class of 2008 became the first in to win the festival every year (including when the school was grades 10 through 12). in 2008, the band won the festival again and became the first band since 1984 to have won the festival for five consecutive years. they broke this record in 2009 and continued a winning streak until 2015, an eleven consecutive win streak with an overall of eighteen wins (1989–90, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2004–14, 2016). the band has had five girls named miss kanawha majorette at the festival (in 1991, 1999, 2002, 2009, 2014). in the 2006–2007 academic school year, the pride of capital high went undefeated with a 5-0 winning streak, the first time the band went undefeated. the band has also performed for numerous governors of west virginia, two presidents and vice presidents of the united states, including former vice president al gore and former senator hillary clinton in 2008. they have marched in the indianapolis 500 pageant parade, the 2005 chicago state street thanksgiving day parade, the citrus bowl parade (all three were nationally televised) in universal studios orlando, and walt disney world. the current director of bands is brianna blankenship. former directors include william r. "bobby" jenks and robert m. "bob" scott; the latter had been the director of bands since the school opened in 1989 until his retirement in 2011. the concert band has received superior ratings at the region iv high school adjudications (which is also hosted by the school) since the school's opening in 1989. in 2010, the concert band served as the honor band for the west virginia music educators association all-state conference festival held in charleston that year. the jazz band plays numerous times throughout the school year for community and school events and have won several awards. in 2008, the jazz band was the accompaniment for the capital high dance company at arts alive: the best of west virginia. the two pieces they played for the dance company were "got to get you into my life" and "bandstand boogie". the jazz band meets after school once a week after the marching season has ended and during the club/activity period. the jazz band is the first instrumental group formed for capital high in the spring of 1989, before the school opened. it consisted of musicians from charleston high school and stonewall jackson high school. the ensemble's first performance was in florida on spring break of 1989 at boardwalk and baseball in kissimmee. the capital high instrumental music department had a performance before there was a school. the jazz band has since performed on board premiere cruise line & royal caribbean cruise line, the governor's christmas tree lighting, the governor's inaugural parade and numerous venues around the city and state. every year, capital high students have been selected, by audition, to be in one of several honors groups, including the west virginia all-state chorus, the west virginia all-state orchestra, the west virginia all-state band, the kanawha county all-county chorus, the kanawha county all-county orchestra, the kanawha county all-county band, the kanawha county all-county jazz band, the wvu honor band, the wvu honor orchestra, the virginia tech honor band, and other honors groups throughout west virginia. capital high offers a number of sports throughout fall, winter, and spring. westest results "scale: % proficient or above" 2006 no child left behind (nclb) math statistics: 2006 no child left behind (nclb) reading statistics: source: ccd public school data, 2005–2006 school year enrollment by grade enrollment by race/ethnicity enrollment by gender free lunch eligible: 400 reduced-price lunch eligible: 64 on wednesday, march 19, 2008, then new york senator hillary clinton selected capital as her first high school to visit. the school received national recognition and was featured by several major national news networks and on the aol.com homepage. hilutangan channel (or gilutangan channel) is a deep water channel that separates mactan island from olango island. the mactan reef flat lies on the starboard (left) side of this channel and the olango reef flat lies on the port (right) side of this channel. it is one of the three channels that connect the cebu strait to the camotes sea — the other two being olango channel and mactan channel. petrola may refer to lucilia illustris is a member of the calliphoridae family of flies commonly known as a blow fly. along with several other species, "l. illustris" is commonly referred to as the green bottle fly. "l. illustris" is typically 6–9 mm in length and has a metallic blue-green thorax. the larvae develop in three instars, each with unique developmental properties. the adult fly typically will feed on flowers, but the females need some sort of carrion protein in order to breed and lay eggs. due to the predictable nature of development, "lucilia illustris" is often used by forensic entomologists to determine time and place of death. medically, "l. illustris" is often used for maggot debridement therapy because it only causes myiasis in necrotic tissue. "lucilia illustris" was first described by the german entomologist johann wilhelm meigen in 1826. its specific epithet is derived from the latin illustris 'brilliant'. "lucilia illustris" is 6–9 mm in length. its bucca (cheeks) are colored black with slightly gray pollinose and black hairs. the first segment of the antenna is black; the second generally orange-tipped, and the third segment is about three times the length of the second segment and colored a dark brown or black. the arista (a bristle on the antenna) is dark brown or black, and has cilia that are dark and long. the back of its head is black and there are three to four rows of black cilia behind the eyes. a metallic blue-green thorax reflects bronze and purple. in some lights, silvery pollen appears on its back, as well as a dark line that extends along the back. black setae can be found on both the propleuron and the hypopleuron, with brown setae on the prosternum. there are dark brown or black sclerites located at the wing-base, as well as dark brown or black found on the spiracle. "l. illustris" has black legs, translucent wings, and does not have a costal spine. the abdomen has similar coloring to the thorax, but looks slightly white in certain lights. the first segment of the abdomen has metallic and dark brown coloring. the second segment has a slight indication of a spot in the middle of the back on the front margin, as well as a row of hardly apparent bristles along the margin. the third and fourth segments both have long upright bristles, but the fourth segment's hairs are scattered and also includes a marginal row of bristles. the larvae develop in three stages, or instars. in the first instar, it is difficult to determine the dispersion of the spines due to some segments not being pigmented. the second through ninth segments each have a full set of spines as anterior borders. however, the color starts to change in the eighth and ninth segments: segment 8 has lighter colored spines and the ninth segment's spines are practically void of color. the spines are reduced to one or two rows in segment 9, but segment 10 has several rows that are lightly colored. segment 11 is characterized by two or three rows of dark spines as a posterior border on the dorsal side. segment 12 is characterized by tubercles, with an inner set on the upper border. cephalopharyngeal sclerite are darkly pigmented. in the second instar, segments 2 through 9 are characterized by a complete band of spines as a front border (as in the first instar). segment 8 has spines, but they are only located ventrally and laterally. segments 9 through 12 have complete bands of spines as a posterior border, but segment 9 only has one or two irregular rows of spines. the tubercles found on the upper border of the last segment have a broad curve and are similar in size to the third instar tubercles. the cephaloskeleton has a dorsal cornua of consistent width until it comes to a point at the posterior end. six to eight branches are found on the frontal spiracles. the third instar has bands of spines completely around the spine at segments 2 through 9. segment 10 has a band of spines, but there is generally a small area on the front that is not complete. there are five or six irregular rows on the back of segment 11. segment 12 is usually smooth on its dorsal surface. the posterior spiracles are relatively large and darkly pigmented; the anterior spiracles (generally six to eight) have relatively large branches. the cephaloskeleton is also large and darkly colored. adults of "lucilia illustris" feed on flowering plants. however, the female also needs a protein source to mature her eggs and become sexually responsive. mating will commonly take place in close range of where the eggs will be deposited. the species' sex ratio is generally equal, but around an egg laying vector, the females can be found in masses. approximately 200 eggs will be laid in a single batch of an adult female, and each individual female can lay up to 10 batches in her three-week life span. eggs will primarily be found on a carcass, but can also occasionally be in open wounds or excrement. temperature is a crucial factor in the development time of the blow fly and this particular species. at 25 degrees celsius, the eggs will take about 24 hours to hatch. upon hatching, "lucilia illustris" enters its larval stages of development, commonly called a maggot. as in other green bottle fly species, their larvae are carrion feeders and will generally infest any decomposing corpse. larvae go through three separate developmental stages called instars. "lucilia illustris" typically prefers cooler weather, and when ambient temperatures are around 7.7 degrees celsius, "l. illustris" will usually be the largest group of maggots on a corpse. between each instar, the "lucilia illustris" larvae will molt. the current instar of the larvae can be determined by examining the respiratory organs, called spiracles. if the maggot mass is successfully identified, tissue loss from the corpse can also be used to determine which instar the larvae are in. after the third instar is complete, the larvae will go underground and pupate. in ideal conditions, an adult "lucilia illustris" fly will emerge from the pupa on an average of 10 days. the adult form of "lucilia illustris" attracts rapidly to carrion. "lucilia illustris" larvae can reach the third instar in as few as fourteen days from the time of death. blow flies typically are the first to arrive when blood or body fluid is present. hence, blow flies are the primary means of estimating a time of death in case work. the life cycle from egg to maggot to adult has been researched thoroughly; therefore, the estimation from egg to adult is accurate within simply a few hours based upon temperature and climate during previous days. this estimation is crucial when determining a time of death to further an investigation. specifically, "lucilia illustris" is found on carrion located in sunlight or otherwise bright areas. for example, the body of a young, white female was found on a roadside in the northeastern part of the united states. cause of death was a single shotgun blast to the right side of the head. while processing the crime scene, samples of blow fly adults and maggots were taken from the wound. upon review, entomologists determined the woman had been killed about five days prior to her discovery and that the body had been placed in that location close to the time of death based upon the samples recovered at the scene. further investigation revealed the woman’s boyfriend as the prime suspect. he was later found hanged in a motel with a suicide note that stated he committed the homicide five days prior in the location the body was discovered. myiasis is the infestation of flesh of living animals by arthropods. "lucilia illustris" has been implicated as a myiasis agent in sheep in northerly palaearctic regions. "l. illustris" is also capable of infesting other wildlife and domesticated livestock which, along with sheep infestations, poses a potential economic problem. "l. illustris" is a facultative myiasis agent, which means that it does not depend on infestation of living animals to survive. it primarily feeds on necrotic tissue when attacking living hosts, which is thought to be part of the reason myiasis evolved as an extension of the normal feeding behavior of "l. illustris". "lucilia illustris" larvae have been shown to be a mechanical vector of "clostridium botulinum" at levels high enough to cause sickness and even death in pheasants. "l. illustris" can cause outbreaks of "c. botulinum" in avian production practices by spreading the bacteria from previously infected carrion to live pheasants. dispersal from the infected carrion by third instar larvae to pupate can spread the bacteria into other pens of animals. as little as one gram of infected maggot mass has been shown to contain 5.2 times pheasant which is enough toxin to kill several pheasant. more than 5000 larvae have been known to colonize a single carcass which is theoretically enough maggots to completely infect a moderately sized game pheasant practice with "c. botulinum". recent research involving blow flies ranges from maggot therapy to identifying different species of bird blow flies. maggot debridement therapy (mdt) uses specially selected fly larvae for the cleansing of non-healing wounds. gangrenous wounds are examples of non-healing wounds that can clinically be treated more effectively by mdt than more common treatments. “medicinal maggots have three actions: 1) they debride (clean) wounds by dissolving the dead (necrotic), infected tissue; 2) they disinfect the wound, by killing bacteria; and 3) they stimulate wound healing.” according to the federal drug administration, medicinal maggots are the first live organisms to be marketed in the united states. the effect of blowflies on birds is a current research issue. species such as meadowlarks, sparrows and finches suffer from blowflies. the blowfly larvae infest the nests, sucking the blood of the nestlings injuring and possibly killing them. current research on bird blow flies include the study of new species of blow flies, the effect on the hosts and the distribution of the blow flies toward each species. megatext is a term used by scholars of speculative fiction that describes the elaborate fictional background, tropes, images, and conventions that science fiction or fantasy narratives share. this collective body of knowledge, utilized by writers and recognized by readers, was first described by christine brooke-rose in her 1981 work, "a rhetoric of the unreal: studies in narrative and structure, especially of the fantastic". brooke-rose builds on the culture or referential code first described by roland barthes in his work s/z. brooke-rose describes a subconsciously familiar set of images, attributes and ideas that are shared within a particular genre. she cites examples in several genres, but goes into critical detail when considering fantasy, specifically the work of j. r. r. tolkien. damien broderick builds on this concept, separating brooke-rose's criticism of tolkien and the specific exposition in tolkien's work, from the megatext concept itself and introducing other comparable science fiction theories, such as the work of gary k. wolfe in "the known and the unknown: the iconography of science fiction" (1979). the "mega-text" in broderick's description is much more clearly identified as a shared cultural experience and interaction between writer and reader. in his essay "the evolving megatext of fantasy" allen stroud identifies the distinction between the author's specific fictional world mythos (macrotext or world bible) and the way in which the megatext of fantasy has changed, spreading out across multiple media to incorporate many shared concepts into hundreds of different fictions. stroud notes that many of these concepts are washed of their cultural origins in their new forms, relying instead on more popular contemporary images and archetypes. ron river is a river in quảng bình province in the north central coast region of vietnam. wrecks-n-effect is the debut album released by wrecks-n-effect. it was released on september 12, 1989 for motown records and featured production from markell riley and redhead kingpin.the album cover bears a winged-lion symbol like guy, as it bears the genre's anthem. the album achieved modest success on the "billboard" charts, making it to #103 on the "billboard" 200 and #16 on the top r&b albums chart. the two singles released found greater success; "new jack swing", which features new jack swing pioneer teddy riley, reached no. 1 on the hot rap tracks chart, while "juicy" made it to no. 6 on the same chart. this was the only album by the group to include member brandon mitchell, as he would be shot down less than a year later on august 8, 1990. cfmq-fm is a canadian radio station that broadcasts a community radio format at 98.1 fm in hudson bay, saskatchewan. cfmq is owned by hb communications inc. the station received approval on august 15, 1994 and began broadcasting in october the same year. belpre township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 186. belpre township covers an area of and contains one incorporated settlement, belpre. franklin township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 93. franklin township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains one cemetery, fellsburg. jackson township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 98. jackson township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. kinsley township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 160. kinsley township covers an area of and contains one incorporated settlement, kinsley (the county seat). according to the usgs, it contains three cemeteries: hillside, old kinsley and saint nicholas. the stream of little coon creek runs through this township. kinsley township contains one airport or landing strip, kinsley municipal airport. lincoln township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 143. lincoln township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains one cemetery, providence. logan township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 42. logan township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains two cemeteries: lutheran and salem. north brown township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 67. north brown township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains one cemetery, trotter. south brown township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 90. south brown township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains one cemetery, bethel. trenton township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 306. trenton township covers an area of and contains one incorporated settlement, offerle. wayne township is a township in edwards county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 606. wayne township covers an area of and contains one incorporated settlement, lewis. according to the usgs, it contains one cemetery, wayne. wayne township contains two airports or landing strips: cross landing strip and fox landing strip. novum (latin for "new thing") is a term used by science fiction scholar darko suvin and others to describe the scientifically plausible innovations used by science fiction narratives. suvin learned the term from ernst bloch, whose work is cited frequently in "metamorphoses of science fiction". suvin argues that the genre of science fiction is distinguished from fantasy by the story being driven by a novum validated by logic he calls cognitive estrangement. this means that the hypothetical "new thing" which the story is about can be imagined to exist by scientific means rather than by magic, i.e., by the "factual reporting of fictions" and by relating them in a plausible way to reality. al gore, was the 45th vice president of the united states (1993–2001);

"before the fall" (aka "3 días") is gutiérrez's first feature film. during its premiere at the berlin film festival, the public booed and applauded equally. the controversy grew among the critics when rebecca davies from "the daily telegraph" praised the films as one of the best in the festival because it proves that films about armageddic meteorites crashing into the earth can be both intelligent and moving. "deep impact" it ain't. whereas jay weissberg from "variety" attacked the film because of its violence, labeling it as unpleasant and inappropriate college-age males may get a kick, but survival chances outside spain are slim. however, before its spanish premiere at the malaga film festival, the film had already been sold for distribution in several countries, including japan, and two offers had been received for a remake in english (including one from wes craven). in 2008, "before the fall" became a buzz in europe. in spain, the film won the main awards in the most prestigious spanish film festival, the 2008 malaga film festival (including best motion picture and best screenplay), the miradas award (tve) for the best motion picture of the year and several awards and nominations in the actors guild of spain and the spain critics awards. on the other hand, in europe, the film was finalist for the 2008 european film awards and won the main prizes in some of the most prestigious science-fiction and fantasy film festivals including the silver méliès for the best european film in imagine (amsterdam fantastic film festival) , the asteroide award at trieste science+fiction festival (italy), and the screamfest crystal skull award for the best director in los angeles. in 2009, "before the fall" was included in third place in the 2008 hollywood international watch list. gutiérrez directed the sequel "rings" (2017), the third installment and direct sequel to the ring (2002), of the u.s. "ring" franchise. it was produced by walter f. parkes and laurie macdonald for paramount pictures. the film was released in the united states on february 3, 2017, opened #2 in the domestic box office,

championships in brandon where facing hometown favorite connie laliberte of canada, she overcame a 6-4 deficit without hammer to win, stealing 3 consecutive ends including the extra end. she received a bronze medal at the 1998 winter olympics in nagano. there she had come in co-favored for the gold along with sandra schmirler and finished tied with schmirler atop round robin at 6-1 (schmirler taking 1st place and the hammer in the playoffs due to winning the round robin meeting of the two teams), but lost in the semis in a significant upset to the team of helena blach lavrsen of denmark. she gained revenge on this same team a month later, defeating them in the finals of the 1998 world curling championships for her 3rd world title she retired from the sport after finishing a disappointing sixth place at the 2002 winter games. here as in 1998, she was one of the heavy favorites for a possible gold medal, but barely made the playoffs after finishing in a four way tie for 4th at 5-4, then lost in a tiebreaker game to the eventual gold medalists rhona martin of scotland. in 1993 she was inducted into the swedish curling hall of fame. in 2012, gustafson was inducted into the wcf hall of fame. gustafson is a medical doctor and trained as a surgeon. she is married to tomas gustafson, an olympic world champion speed skater. katarina nyberg (born 16 november 1965) is a swedish curler, world champion and olympic medalist. she received a bronze medal at the 1998 winter olympics in nagano. in 1993 she was inducted into the swedish curling hall of fame. miloš hrstić

"ceanothus" comes from the greek word "keanthos", meaning a type of thistle. alan norris may refer to: francis heaulme (born february 25, 1959 at metz) is a french serial killer dubbed the "criminal backpacker". he has klinefelter's syndrome (a supplemental x chromosome). heaulme's father brutalized him until the age of 17 causing him to become an alcoholic and attempting suicide. however, he had a good relationship with his younger sister and held a boundless adoration of his mother, who died of cancer when he was 23 years old. at the age of 20, he suddenly picked up a passion for cycling. eight years later, he left home to travel erratically around france on foot, by hitchhiking, cycling, and via train (often without a ticket), staying in emmaüs shelters, psychiatric institutions, and detoxification centers. he occasionally found odd jobs as a mason or metal worker, and spent his meager earnings on drinking, sometimes mixing alcohol and tranquilizers. as someone with untreated klinefelter's syndrome, heaulme was at the time incapable of committing rape in the "standard" manner. however, in at least two instances he was accompanied by other men (one a distant cousin), who violated the victims themselves while heaulme killed them. he confessed the murders to medical personnel who did not reveal the information because of medical confidentiality. in many police stations, he did in fact recount false assaults. he was arrested on january 7, 1992 at bischwiller. the law enforcement agencies (police and gendarmerie) had great difficulty proving their cases because the acts were done without apparent reason or motive by a person who was highly mobile, and had alibis due to negligence. the shortcomings and poor coordination of the police organizations were also contributing factors. despite the lack of support from his superiors, gendarme jean-françois abgrall quickly understood the basic rule about who he is responsible for tracking down: "it's when you ask him nothing that he says the most." francis heaulme recounted murder scenes with incredible precision. for example, he showed officers how to kill a sentry by having a firm grip on the back of his head with one hand and stabbing him in the carotid artery with the other, draw, and then retract. according to abgrall, "he doesn't lie. he never makes anything up. but he deliberately covers his tracks by mixing the crimes, dates and locations." the cases in which he is suspected, accused or convicted are many. there are reportedly dozens in 87 departments in france. among them: chief warrant officer gendarmerie, jean-françois abgrall, the research section of the gendarmerie in rennes, is the specialist for cases in which francis heaulme was convicted, accused or suspect. he arrested heaulme on january 7, 1992 at bischwiller in alsace. behind the face of a madman hides a manipulative and calculating mind. his morbid game consists of releasing bits of information to police to make it clear that he had "hit a snag" (), a term he uses to describe his murders. this occurred in each new case, and is evident throughout the course of his dialogs. according to one of his successive string of lawyers, gonzalez de pierre gaspard, heaulme is not to be confronted with an authority, whether a policeman, a police officer or a judge, because he feels like they can make him say whatever they want. david blair (or davy) (11 november 1874 – 10 january 1955) was a british merchant seaman with the white star line, which had reassigned him from the rms "titanic" just before its maiden voyage. due to his hasty departure, he accidentally kept a key to a storage locker believed to contain the binoculars intended for use by the crow's nest lookout. the absence of any binoculars within the crows nest is believed to be one of the main contributory factors in the titanic’s ultimate demise. blair, from broughty ferry, was originally appointed the second officer of the "titanic". he had been with the ship during its trial voyages to test the ship's seaworthiness and the final journey from its place of construction in belfast. the white star line, however, decided that with the "titanic"'s sister ship, the rms "olympic", currently undergoing layovers, to have the "olympic"'s chief officer, henry wilde take the position, citing his experience with ships of the "titanic" class as a reason. chief officer william murdoch and first officer charles lightoller were thus demoted one step in rank, removing blair from the command roster. blair wrote about the disappointment of losing his position on the "titanic" in a postcard to his sister-in-law days before the "titanic" left for southampton, remarking, "this is a magnificent ship, i feel very disappointed i am not to make her first voyage." when blair left the "titanic" on 9 april 1912 he took with him the key to the crow's nest locker, presumably by accident. this is believed to be a reason why there were no binoculars available with the crew during the voyage. according to other versions, the binoculars were not in the locker, but were left behind in his cabin, or he took them along with him when he left the ship, as they were his personal set of binoculars. the absence of binoculars being a factor in the sinking of the "titanic", became a point of investigation in the subsequent inquiries into the sinking. the lookouts at the time of the collision, frederick fleet and reginald lee, maintained during the inquiries that they were informed they were to have no binoculars during the voyage. fleet, when asked by a commission of inquiry composed of members of the united states congress whether or not they would have seen the iceberg from farther away, replied that he would have seen it "a bit sooner". when asked "how much sooner?", he responded: "well, enough to get out of the way." according to legal expert gary slapper, though, blair's "forgetfulness wasn't a material reason for the disaster" as there were other intervening causes. the key itself survived and was donated by blair's daughter to the international sailors society. on 22 september 2007, it was sold in a group of items including a postcard blair wrote on board the "titanic" via an auction held by henry aldridge, including a ticket from belfast that fetched £32,000 and a postcard sent by a passenger which sold for £17,000. the key was purchased by shen dongjun, the ceo of jewellery retailer tesiro's chinese division for £90,000, and is currently on display in nanjing. the auctioneers said about the importance of the key that, it was a conjecture that the key could have saved the "titanic" had it not left the ship. they also said that the money from the auction of the key will be used to set up bursaries and scholarships in blair's name. he was first officer on the ss "majestic" in 1913 when a coaler jumped overboard; the night before a fellow crewmember had succeeded in drowning himself. while a lifeboat was organised, blair jumped into the ocean waters and swam toward the man, who was now swimming for the ship. though the boat reached the man first, blair was commended for his action in "the new york times" and received money from the passengers and a medal from the royal humane society. blair (and charles lightoller, who survived the "titanic" disaster) served aboard the when it ran aground in 1914. as the navigator, blair received the blame for the grounding at the resulting enquiry. blair died on 10 january 1955 in hendon, middlesex. blair was survived by his son, donald (a school teacher and author of lake district hiking books). don blair felt considerable guilt during his entire life for the actions regarding his father being "bumped off the ship" and the issue with the keys to the binoculars. don blair has since also passed on, leaving a widow (gladys) and three step sons (neil, nigel, and iain douglas). an antidune is a bedform found in fluvial and other channeled environments. antidunes occur in supercritical flow, meaning that the froude number is greater than 1.0 or the flow velocity exceeds the wave velocity; this is also known as upper flow regime. in antidunes, sediment is deposited on the upstream (stoss) side and eroded from the downstream (lee) side, opposite lower flow regime bedforms. as a result, antidunes migrate in an upstream direction, counter to the current flow. antidunes are called in-phase bedforms, meaning that the water surface elevation mimics the bed elevation; this is due to the supercritical flow regime. antidune bedforms evolve rapidly, growing in amplitude as they migrate upstream. the resultant wave at the water's surface also increases in amplitude. when that wave becomes unstable, breaks and washes downstream, much of the antidune bedform may be destroyed. antidunes are typically found in fluvial environments in shallow areas with a high flow rate. unlike ripples and dunes in lower flow regime, antidunes are generally symmetric and migrate counter to the flow direction. antidunes evolve rapidly, growing in amplitude as they migrate against the current. when the surface wave above them becomes unstable and breaks (when the surface wave amplitude reaches 1/7 its wavelength) most of the antidune bedform is destroyed and its sediment carried down stream. antidunes are commonly observed in small streams that flow across beaches into the ocean. flume studies have shown that they can also occur in submarine environments beneath density flows like turbidity currents. antidunes produce sedimentary structures characteristic of their flow regime, which allow sedimentary geologists to understand past flow conditions. unlike low flow regime bedforms like dunes and ripples which generally produce downstream dipping cross stratification, antidunes produce a mixture of low-angle downstream and upstream dipping strata. while antidunes migrate upstream, upstream dipping cross-stratification is not indicative of antidunes or upper flow regime conditions. antidunes migrate upstream because the stream flow is shallow and fast in the trough and slows and deepens over the crest. as a result, the shear stress on the bed decreases from trough to crest, allowing sedimentation, and increases from crest to tough, causing erosion. the inertia of the flow moves the shear stress maximum and minimum slightly downstream of the trough and crest. this allows the bedform to amplify with time as erosion occurs in the trough and deposition occurs at the crest. christopher r. fielding observed a link between their formation and the climate. climates that have extreme rainy seasons resulting in runoff create a higher flow velocity within their streams and rivers, thus increasing the ability of upper flow regime structures to form. here is a video showing the formation and destruction of a modern antidune. in 1899 the first description of antidunes was presented by vaughan cornish to the royal geographical society. he observed that while water was flowing down stream waves occurred that traveled up stream depositing sand and other material. this observation was later validated by john s. owens in 1908. the term antidune was coined by g.k. gilbert in a 1914 us geological survey professional paper entitled “transportation of debris by running water”. he wrote this report in conjunction with e. c. murphy, their description of antidunes and stationary waves that expanded on cornish and owens' previous report. their information was gathered during a laboratory investigation sponsored by the u.s. geological survey. the first person to attempt an analytical description of antidunes was walter b. langbein in 1942. he applied dimensional analysis to gilberts' results and came up with transition points using froude numbers versus velocity and hydraulic radius. kilkare woods, also known as kilcare woods, is a small rural unincorporated community of about 773 people in southern alameda county, california, near pleasanton. kilkare woods began as a private association of summer cottages. the town lies along sinbad creek beside pleasanton ridge

did not. of those who did not 3% spoke hindi, and 1% spoke spanish. kilkare woods is served by the cal fire and livermore-pleasanton fire departments. students attend elementary school at sunol glen elementary school in sunol and high school at foothill high school in pleasanton. law enforcement services are provided by the alameda county sheriff's office. jifna (, "jifnâ") is a palestinian village in the ramallah and al-bireh governorate in the central west bank, located north of ramallah and north of jerusalem. a village of about 1,400 people, jifna has retained a christian majority since the 6th century ce. its total land area consists of 6,015 dunams, of which 420 are designated as built-up areas, most of the remainder being covered with olive, fig and apricot groves. jifna is governed by a village council, led (2008) by chairman jabi na'im kamil. jifna was known as gophnah () at the time of the first jewish-roman war, and after its conquest became a roman regional capital, though remaining predominantly jewish. later the town grew less significant politically, but nevertheless prospered as a christian locality under byzantine and later arab rule due to its location on a trade route. st. george's church in jifna was built in the 6th century ce, but fell into disrepair and was not rebuilt until the arrival of the crusaders in the late 10th century. however, it again fell into ruin after the crusaders were driven out by the ayyubids. in modern times, the ruins of st. george's church have become a tourist attraction. during the period of ottoman control in palestine the tower of an ancient roman structure in jifna became the location of a jail house. jifna has local traditions and legends relating to the holy family, and to the village water-spring. it is also locally known for its apricot harvest festival; each year, during the late spring period, hundreds travel to the village to harvest the fruit during its brief season. it was suggested by edward robinson that jifna was ophni of benjamin, mentioned in the book of joshua as one of the "twelve cities." nothing thereafter is recorded in its history until the time of the roman conquest during the 1st century bce, when it appears in various records as "gophna". gophna was described by flavius josephus as the second city of judea, after jerusalem, in his account of the first jewish-roman wars during the 1st century ce. the town is depicted as gophna in the map of madaba, situated north of gibeon (al-jib), and is also mentioned in rabbinic literature as "beit gūfnīn", literally meaning a "house of vineyards". the talmud mentions the place as being inhabited by priests of aaron's lineage. known by the romans as "cofna", jifna was a regional capital in the iudaea province under the roman empire. around 50 bce the roman general cassius sold the population into slavery, for failure to pay taxes. they were freed, however, by mark antony shortly after he came to power. jifna was within the area under john b. hananiah's command in 66 ce, during the first jewish-roman war, and was the headquarters of one of the twelve toparchies (administrative districts) of judea. the roman emperor vespasian occupied the town in 68 ce, established an army garrison there, and concentrated within the city jewish priests and other local notables who had surrendered to him. titus, the future roman emperor, passed through gophna during his march to besiege jerusalem in 70 ce. gophna had a sizable priestly israelite population on the wake of the bar kokhba revolt in the 130s, and it is possible that an entire synagogue congregation of gophna (including priests) relocated to sepphoris in galilee by the 3rd century ce. the building of a church dedicated to saint george during the 6th century ce indicates that by this time jifna, now under byzantine rule, had become a christian town. besides the church, other remains from this era are located in jifna, including a jewish tomb, a tower ("burj jifna") once used by the ottomans as a prison, a roman villa, an olive oil press and a winery. jifna, along with most of palestine, was annexed by the rashidun caliphate under umar ibn al-khattab after the battle of ajnadayn in 634. the town became less politically significant under the arab dynasties of the umayyads, abbasids and fatimids, but remained a major regional center for trade and commerce, due to its location along the jerusalem–nazareth road. it was known by the arabs as "gafeniyyah". sources are vague, but it is likely that st. george's church fell into disrepair during the early decades of islamic rule, and that unfavorable circumstances for the christian population prevented them from rebuilding it. however, it was partially rebuilt with old materials by the crusaders, who conquered the area in 1099. the crusaders built a large courtyard building in jifna. it had a monumental gate with a portcullis, with a large vaulted hall and thick walls of fine masonry. after their defeat to the ayyubids under saladin in 1187, the church again fell into ruin. a document dated 1182 with the signature of one raymundus de jafenia, might indicate a christian presence at this time. according to the american biblical scholar edward robinson, there are remains of massive walls in the center of the village, now filled by houses. they were relics of a castle built by the crusaders. however, the masonry has no characteristics of the crusader period; rather, the remains display the arab architectural style of the post-crusader period, most likely of the 18th century, judging by the dressing of the stones. after the crusaders were succeeded by the ayyubids and then the mamluks, the ottoman empire conquered palestine in 1517, and jifna came under their control for the following 400 years. in 1596 it appeared in the tax registers under the name of "jifna an-nasara", being in the "nahiya" (subdistrict) of jerusalem of the jerusalem sanjak, with a population of 21 households. the villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 33.3% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, olive trees, vineyards, fruit trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 6,470 akçe. it was under the administration of the bani zeid subdistrict, part of the larger jerusalem district, throughout ottoman rule, being the only all-christian village in the district. during this period, the main commodity of jifna was olive oil. ottoman activity in the village was minimal, but they used the remains of jifna's castle, known as "burj jifna", as a jail house sometime during the 19th century. in the early 1830s, ibrahim pasha of egypt conquered most of the levant, including palestine. in 1834 there was a revolt against the egyptian authorities in the jifna area; 26 residents of jifna were subsequently exiled to egypt for their alleged participation in the uprising. they were joined, voluntarily, by two prominent local priests. an eastern orthodox church was built in the village in 1858, and a larger latin (catholic) church dedicated to st. joseph was built in 1859, adjacent to the ruins of st. george's church. in the courtyard of st. george's church is a sarcophagus. st. george's church has continued to serve as a place of worship into the modern era and has been the site of archaeological excavation since the mid-19th century. mass is still held at its altar on certain occasions. in 1882 the palestine exploration fund's "survey of western palestine" described jifna as an important christian village, with a latin church and a convent. also in the 1880s, jifna was frequently taxed by ottoman authorities. it also came into consistent armed conflict with another christian village, bir zeit, which in one incident, resulted in the deaths of five men from that village. in retaliation, residents of bir zeit uprooted and burned 125 of jifna's olive groves. in 1917, during world war i, the ottomans were defeated by british and arab forces. after a brief period of military rule, jifna and its region came under the control of the league of nations british mandate, in 1922. in 1947 the united nations proposed the partitioning of palestine into separate jewish and arab states, with jifna being a part of the projected arab state. however, after the 1948 arab-israeli war the whole west bank region, including jifna, was annexed by transjordan to form the kingdom of jordan, and the arab state was stillborn. in six-day war in 1967, jifna have been under israeli occupation. after the 1995 interim agreement on the west bank and the gaza strip between the palestinian national authority (pna) and israel, jifna was placed in "area b". thus, its administrative and civil affairs were transferred to the pna, while security matters remained in israeli control. throughout the ongoing second intifada, which began in 2000, jifna has not experienced violence to the same extent as other parts of the west bank, such as in nearby ramallah, but its residents face travel restrictions and economic hardship. on 31 july 2015 a 15-year-old resident was shot dead by an idf sniper after allegedly throwing a firebomb at an army outpost. in april 2019, the village was attacked a fatah official and his gunmen, a number of whom made demands that the village’s christian residents pay the medieval jizya tax, in response to the police questioning of his son for allegedly assaulting a christian woman from jifna and her children. the incident did not result in casualties and was condemned by palestinian government and church officials. marketnews magazine is a trade magazine covering the consumer electronics industry in canada. the publication was founded in 1975 and is owned by toronto-based bomar

albrecht winzer (1763 in braunschweig, principality of brunswick-wolfenbüttel – 11 may 1830 in paris) was a german inventor, one of the pioneers of gas lighting in the uk and france. winsor went to britain before 1799 and became interested in the technology and economics of fuels. in 1802 he went to paris to investigate the 'thermo-lamp' which french engineer philippe lebon had patented in 1799. returning to britain, he started a gasworks and in 1807 lit one side of pall mall, london, with gas lamps. in 1804-09 he was granted various patents for gas furnaces and purifiers. his application to parliament for a charter for the gas light and coke company having failed, winsor once more moved to france, but unlike the success he had in united kingdom in paris his company in made little progress and was liquidated in 1819. the distilling retort winsor used consisted of an iron pot with a fitted lid. the lid had a pipe in the centre leading to the conical condensing vessel, which was compartmented inside with perforated divisions to spread the gas to purify it of hydrogen sulphide and ammonia. the device was not very successful, and the gas being burned was impure and emitted a pungent smell. winsor published "description of the thermo-lamp invented by lebon of paris" in 1802, "analogy between animal and vegetable life, demonstrating the beneficial application of the patent light stoves to all green and hot houses" in 1807, and other works. he died in paris and was buried in the père lachaise cemetery. a green plaque on pall mall in london marks the site of winsor's first demonstration, and there is a memorial to him in kensal green cemetery. winsor terrace in beckton, the former approach road to beckton gas works, is named in his honour. the 1996 big east men's

least 17 people died as a result of the flooding. levee breaks were observed in several areas, most notably in southeastern missouri, where levee breaks occurred through mid-april. the national weather service posted flood watches stretching from dallas, texas, to scranton, pennsylvania, starting march 16. two strong low-pressure centers developed along a stationary front that stretched along this line. one was located in the southern region of illinois, and the other was located near san antonio, texas. the northern low, combined with strong upper level winds, dragged large amounts moisture north from the gulf of mexico. the southern low produced severe weather and heavy rain on its north side. at one point, the national weather radar composite showed a large shield of heavy rain stretching from texas to northern indiana. river flooding continued through may in some areas, causing additional problems where flash flooding from the heavy rains struck. numerous locations in arkansas reported record rainfall totals from march into early april. river flooding continued through march and into april; even stretching to early may in a few areas. several river gauges throughout the midwest and southeast were in major flood stage. some of the worst river flooding of the event occurred in the western suburbs of st. louis, missouri, along the meramec river; 451 homes were damaged in this area. river flooding stretched from wisconsin to louisiana by mid-april; some of the flooding to the north was exacerbated by ice jams after record snowfall during the winter. the death toll associated with the flooding was 17. five deaths occurred in missouri. others were killed in a highway wreck due to heavy rain in kentucky, and a 65-year-old woman in ohio appeared to have drowned while checking on a sump pump in her home. in southern illinois, two bodies were found hours after floodwaters swept a pickup truck off a road. also, in missouri, the body of a 19-year-old man was found about 2 miles downstream from where he was reported swept into a creek the previous evening. the flooding closed a number of roads in missouri around the meramec river, and threatened to force the closure of interstate 44 at valley park. unlike the great flood of 1993, which affected this same region, the majority of homes and businesses in valley park were protected from the flooding by a new levee built in 2005. in kentucky, the flooding resulted in scattered road closures and flooded basements. in covington, city crews used sump pumps to keep high water off the streets. high water from banklick creek also forced kenton county's pioneer park to close. emergency managers in posey county, indiana declared a state of emergency and vanderburgh county, indiana and the city of evansville were also under states of emergency for a short time. schools in henderson and union counties were closed due to the flooding, and u.s. 60 at the line between the two counties was shut down

"twenty four candles" is the 14th episode in the second season, and the 37th episode overall, of the american dramedy series "ugly betty", which aired on april 24, 2008. the episode was written by veronica becker and sarah kuscerka and directed by michael spiller. the title of the episode is a wordplay on the film "sixteen candles". the story begins with betty dreaming of the perfect birthday party, complete with a horse and carriage and her boyfriend henry as her knight in shining armor. her alarm wakes her and her family wishes her a happy birthday with hilda giving her a pat on her butt, justin giving her a customized cellphone, and ignacio making her pancakes, before she leaves for her planned trip to the poconos with henry. but as she arrived to henry's place, she knocks on the door and shouts "birthday girl's here!", only to have the door be opened by henry's very pregnant ex, charlie. turns out she is in town for a parenting seminar that had a last-minute opening on the same weekend of betty's birthday. henry explains that charlie just showed up and she can go to the parenting seminar alone. betty suggests that they just stay in new york, so henry can be a parent and still partake in some birthday festivities. betty kisses henry and says she will see him tonight. as for wilhelmina, the former mode diva is trying to hide the fact that she has christina at her house—and christina is carrying the dead bradford meade's offspring. as christina attempts to open the window in her room, renee comes to her rescue. after she thanks renee, christina decides to light a candle and renee freaks. she extinguishes the flame and says, "no. candles. ever." christina calls betty to tell her about renee, but unfortunately betty's cell phone does not have good reception, so betty misses every other word. hoping to get evidence, christina put a baby monitor in the pantry, determined to find out what is going on. wilhelmina shows up at daniel's place to warn him about renee, who is dating daniel, and tells him to ask renee about stony brook. meanwhile, betty enters the office and approaches amanda, who is decked out in a kiss t-shirt. betty notes that she is turning 24 (amanda first guessed 40, and later 50) and asks amanda what is the most romantic restaurant in new york. amanda suggests pemberley inn, which makes amanda want to lick betty with her tongue. betty then enters daniel's office (just as he is googling "stony brook".) he appears to have no idea it's betty's birthday, and in retribution betty talks him out of taking his tickets to see the new york philharmonic in central park. as claire prepares to launch "hot flash", daniel and alexis become concerned that the budget for the magazine's launch, so alexis tells her mother that she will cut off the funding. this did not sit well with claire, who is upset that her own daughter, the company ceo, would tell her this. moments later in the bathroom, betty sees her and as claire tells her about what happened, betty tells claire that she shouldn't give up. claire takes that advice to heart. renee enters daniel's office and announces that she found an apartment right around the corner from his place. he balks a bit, and then asks her about stony brook, which renee says is a state college on long island where she went to school. she is furious that he would even listen to wilhelmina, and tells him to call her when he is ready to trust her a little. back at the slaters, renee confronts wilhelmina and asks why she is trying to break up her and daniel. wilhelmina says they both know what happens when renee gets too serious with men. renee claims that this is nothing like stony brook, and wilhelmina reminds her that it took a lot of work to clean up that mess. renee warns her sister to leave them alone or she will regret it, adding that she is sure she is not the only one around with secrets unaware that christina is listening via the baby monitor and writes "stony brook" on a notepad. as betty makes reservations at the pemberley inn, gio emerges from his sandwich cart to sit on her desk. betty explains that it is her birthday and details the romantic night she has planned with henry. gio says that the only thing missing is a carriage ride. when betty asks why he would say that, gio just thought it was something she would be into. betty tries to escape, and gio says he is sorry they don't talk as much anymore. betty says she has been busy working and living, then walks away. betty then gets a call from henry as amanda listens in (only to have betty to tell amanda to butt out). henry is carrying a big bouquet of gerbera daisies. as betty gets off the phone excitedly as she sees daniel coming toward her with a big present, but it is for renee. at the suarez house, ignacio is upset that betty's weekend has been scrubbed because of charlie, then pouts because he likes to have the family together for birthdays. hilda thinks they can take the cupcakes to henry's, so he and betty can eat them under the stars at the philarmonic. as hilda drops off the cupcakes at henry's place, charlie is there to receive them. she tells hilda that there is not going to be a birthday date, but hilda corrects her. charlie insincerely says that is great, and adds that betty does not let anything get in her way. hilda says she does not. but if anything is to happen, hilda has her back. as hilda exits, charlie bites into a cupcake fiercely, then smiles. hours later, henry leaves a message for betty, saying that he has to take charlie to the doctor and tells betty should not go to the restaurant, saying he will meet up with her later. he adds that he is so sorry, and that he loves her. but betty's cellphone only gets part of the message as she heads to the restaurant. back at the slaters, as marc drops off baby supplies, renee is there and tells him that her sister skipped the infant cpr class and made christina go alone, in favor of a deep tissue massage. renee offers to make marc a chocolatini, not knowing that this was the opportunity that renee was waiting for, as hours later, in a drunken moment marc nearly ruins everything by spilling the beans to renee about the baby christina’s carrying. renee later tells wilhelmina that she has taped marc's conversation and if she interferes, she'll expose her. when wilhelmina becomes threatened that if the meades find out that she stole bradford's sperm she will go to prison, she sends marc to break into daniel's apartment to retrieve the recording, but while he is there daniel arrives, marc pretends that he is there to seduce daniel, but daniel knows that wilhelmina is behind it all, so marc leaves before daniel can call the cops. at the pemberley inn, betty waits. to buy some time, she orders cheese fondue from the waiter, who thinks she is there by herself. back at casa suarez, ignacio takes a call from henry and learns that he is canceling his whole night with betty because charlie is not feeling well, so the family decides to put a party in place. as the hours passed, the waiter grows impatient with betty's presence, and asks her to leave. back at mode, amanda sees gio bring a piece of pie for betty, then reveals to gio that henry called to cancel his plans with betty but never bothered to give betty the message, so gio steps in and gives betty a night to remember as he shows up at the restaurant with a carriage and shows her a night on the town. as betty and gio paint the town red, the family thinks that betty maybe on her way home. however, it is henry at the door instead. he says the doctor could not find anything wrong, and so he thinks charlie was just trying to ruin his night with betty. hilda is quick to forgive, but ignacio isn't so sure. back at "mode", alexis sees claire in the meeting room with other older women. claire then tells her that "hot flash" will be ready for launch, as she has outsourced former ex-cons to help finance the magazine. back at daniel's apartment, he tells renee about marc, and apologizes for letting wilhelmina get to him earlier. renee is sorry, too, and says that she hasn't told daniel everything. he says she can trust him, so she tells him about stony brook. she was in college and had a breakdown, and then went to a treatment facility. she still sees a doctor and has to takes daily medication. it was a long time ago, she says, but she is still a little sensitive about it. daniel thanks her for telling the truth, and assures her that he still wants to be with her, so daniel asks renee to move in with him. unbeknownst to renee, it looks like wilhelmina has played her; as renee called her sister with her plans, marc told wilhelmina that he had "retrieved" it (her prescription pills) which she hopes will make her go crazy. as they returned to the apartment, the two noticed the baby monitor, which had christina fearing that they might be on to her. betty gets back from her evening with gio and finds henry sleeping on her living room sofa, but it is ignacio who greets her. betty is sad to have missed all of her family's efforts, but ignacio admits it is mostly for him, because he likes to feel like he's still taking care of his little girl. betty still needs him, she says, and his cupcakes. it is then that ignacio stands up and walk to a small table where he retrieves a small box, it a present for betty, left two weeks earlier by daniel because he was afraid he will forget her birthday. as she go over the couch, betty wakes henry and he says that he is sorry that her birthday was not perfect. and as they embrace, betty seems to have something else on her mind. daniel's present to betty in "twenty four candles": on october 6, 2008, in an article published in variety silvio horta answered a fan question regarding daniel's present to betty. q. what did daniel give betty for her birthday in "24 candles?" kind of random, but we didn't get to see her open it and i'm curious. — cali
a. i was disappointed we didn't get to show this scene because it turned out to be such a great moment. we had to cut it due to time — the show was too long. after an excruciating day at work, which happened to be her birthday, betty unwinds with ignacio, who remembers to give betty a gift from daniel—he dropped it off a couple of weeks ago because, "he just wanted to make sure he didn't forget." betty opens the gift to find a shakespeare anthology. inside there's an inscription: "looks like you share a birthday with another great writer… happy birthday, betty. love, daniel." the gift worked on many levels because betty was writing an article for mode at the time and it showed how much daniel really cares about her. but we simply didn't have the time in the episode to keep the scene. this is the first post-strike episode. it also hints at a return to the show's roots after enduring a series of over-the-top storylines, as creator silvio horta pointed out in a "los angeles times" interview. the episode aired on the 24th of april, 6 days after america ferrera (betty) turned 24. "entertainment weekly"'s tanner stransky was among the reviewers who welcomed the show back: "how stoked are you that "mode" is back in business? it's been exactly three months since the last episode of "ugly betty" aired. three months! and just like the suarez clan yearning for ignacio's delectable flan, i've been craving my fix of delicious love triangles, devilish in vitro impregnations, and, of course, willy's genius one-liners. and there was so much to look forward to: a new meade magazine, courtesy of claire! dark revelations about willy's sister, renee! some sort of resolution to the betty-henry-gio love triangle! hilda with bangs!" the episode scored with a 6.0/10 and more than 8.5 million viewers in the us tuning in, beating fox's "are you smarter than a fifth grader?" for second, behind cbs' "". joe hernandez (june 3, 1909february 2, 1972) was the voice of santa anita park in arcadia, california, from the time the track opened on christmas day 1934 until he fainted at the microphone on january 27, 1972. it was reported 28 february 2016 on the tvg horseracing channel that hernandez had been kicked by a horse earlier and died while calling a race at santa anita park. during that time, he called 15,587 races in a row. over the course of his career, his cry of "there they go!" echoed over a number of notable races including seabiscuit’s win in the 1940 santa anita handicap and johnny longden’s last ride in 1966. his cries of "and here comes malicious!" and "silky sullivan trails …" are remembered to this day. hernandez broke into the business of race calling in 1927 for agua caliente racetrack at tijuana, being developed by the first-ever race caller, steward george schilling, who on 5 february 1927 called the first race at the mexican track. in 1932, he became the first race caller at tanforan. in the coming years, he became the premiere race caller on the west coast, at a time when most mexicans and mexican americans were being repatriated to mexico due to america's great depression. in the late 1930s, alfred vanderbilt, jr. hired hernandez to call the races at pimlico race course and belmont park. while there, hernandez encountered some discrimination when he was seen in public with his wife pearl, an anglo-american. in 1950, hernandez called the kentucky derby for fans at churchill downs. a recording of his call was later distributed to over 60,000 racing fans. hernandez was not only a race caller; he was a highly respected sportswriter, handicapper, jockey and buyers agent, radio and television producer, music composer, actor, athlete, and philanthropist. he also owned a number of businesses related to horse racing. for example, he owned his own film patrol company (a company that recorded races in order to determine if a foul was committed during a race). hernandez also imported, owned, and raced thoroughbreds under his own silks. the most noted race horse to run under his colors was cougar ii, a chilean import who was inaugurated into thoroughbred horse racing's hall of fame in 2006. a bronze bust of hernandez was unveiled at santa anita on december 26, 1974. the piece rests at the bottom of the track's main grandstand entrance. santa anita track officials decided to place the piece here so hernandez could be close to his fans, and they to him. as rudolph alvarado noted in his biography on hernandez ("the untold story of joe hernandez: the voice of santa anita"), "from here the bust would also serve to introduce joe, and what he meant to santa anita to future racing fans. most importantly, placed here, joe’s gaze would always fall on his beloved santa anita." ash creek township is a township in ellsworth county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 58. ash creek township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. the streams of ash creek and mud creek run through this township. alexander shchetynsky (shchetinsky) (; ; aleksandr stepanovich shchetins'kiy) is a ukrainian composer. born on 22 june 1960 in kharkiv, in the ukrainian ssr of the soviet union. his work list includes compositions in various forms ranging from solo instrumental to orchestral, choral pieces and operas. shchetynsky graduated from the kharkiv art institute in 1983. although he studied composition officially with valentyn borysov, another ukrainian composer, valentyn bibik, strongly influenced him in those formative years. another important source of inspiration was so called soviet musical avant-garde: edison denisov, alfred schnittke, arvo pärt, sofia gubaidulina, valentin silvestrov. later shchetynsky participated in master classes with edison denisov and poul ruders in denmark, and summer courses in poland, where he attended lectures by louis andriessen, witold lutosławski, krzysztof penderecki, boguslaw schaeffer, and magnus lindberg. music of the second viennese school, olivier messiaen, and györgy ligeti had a significant impact on shchetynsky. since the late 80s, his music has been presented at festivals and concerts in europe and america, performed by internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles, such as the moscow helikon opera, the bbc national orchestra of wales, the warsaw philharmonic orchestra, children's choir maîtrise de radio france, the arditti string quartet, the moscow contemporary music ensemble, ensemble wiener collage, mark pekarsky percussion ensemble, pianist yvar mikhashoff, soprano phyllis bryn-julson, a.o. among the publishers of shchetynsky are alain van kerckhoven editeur, boosey & hawkes, le chant du monde, and gerard billaudot editeur s.a. two "portrait" cds with his music were released in the us and france. in 2011 naxos released the cd 'new sacred music from ukraine' with his choral works. shchetynsky received seven international composer’s awards: at the age of about 30, he developed his personal post-serial style based on combination of quasi-serial procedures and special attention to attractiveness of sound material and to melody as a source of expression. another fundamental feature of his music is its rhythmic, structural and formal flexibility, which provokes feeling of "self-development" of initial micro-thematic patterns. the idea of modern spirituality became an impulse for many his vocal and instrumental compositions. this is particularly significant in his 3 operas and several choral compositions written recently. moscow critic alexey parin referred to shchetynsky as "a consequent stickler for avant-garde" and stated that "his spirituality reveals in strict, ascetically beautiful sounds that impress with their hermetism, within the context of up-to-date musical language". nevertheless, in his newest compositions he moves towards postmodernistic aesthetics utilizing stylistic elements of various epochs. however, he stays apart from eclecticism and aims at finding a new unity in combination of those musical elements that historically never existed next to each other. "his style is essentially that of a structuralist, relying on a synthesis of a variety of modernist techniques and exploring in each piece a particular musical metaphor. this method explains his reliance on pieces with descriptive titles. the influence of an especially eastern european variety of minimalism (more meditative and less didactic) is also apparent in the carefully worked out relationship between different degrees of sound and silence, the predominance of soft dynamics, and in the smallest details and changes in pitch, timbre and rhythm." from 1982 to 1990 shchetynsky taught composition at a music school in kharkiv utilizing the brainin teaching method of music education. from 1991 to 1995 he taught composition, instrumentation, and techniques of contemporary music at the kharkiv art institute. since 1995, although being a free-lance composer, he regularly lectured on ukrainian music, gave master classes, and presented own works at international festivals and symposia in austria, germany, macedonia, the netherlands, poland, slovakia, switzerland, and ukraine. from 1997 to 2005 shchetynsky was the member of the art council of the festival contrasts in lviv – the biggest and most prestigious international contemporary music festival in ukraine. he was among the organisers of several other contemporary music festivals in ukraine and russia, and from 1995 to 2001 ran concert series new music in kharkiv. since 2006 he lives in kiev. he wrote the scores for three films which was written, directed and produced by ihor podolchak: black wolf township is a

megumu okada. the plot takes place in the fictional a warrior kingdom with a history stretching back over 2,000 years. the kingdom stands perpetually on the brink of war with its neighbors. warriors of kuruda fight using martial arts styles that utilize magic-like powers and compete in colloseum matches to rise in rank and hone their skills; the highest of these ranks being vaar and then savaar. is the 59th sevaar of kuruda and one of the four divas. though she is not the only female sevaar in history – a title roughly equivalent to a "high warrior", as an ordinary warrior is known as a vaar – she does hold the distinction of being the youngest female ever to be awarded the title of sevaar, at age 14, 3 years prior to the start of the series. her fighting nickname "shadow skill" is also the name of her martial arts style. elle has an older brother: diaz ragu, a blacksmith and a vaar of kuruda. their parents both died from a rampaging disease when elle was still young, and she too contracted the same illness. diaz immediately set out on many dangerous missions in order to raise the money needed for his sister's medicine. elle was saved, but diaz' body was severely weakened by his ordeal, to the point that he had to give up on being a warrior, instead devoting himself to crafting his black wing boomerangs. elle continues to feel guilt for this fact to this day, believing it should have been him to win this title, and not her. she also has a reputation as both a heavy drinker and a brawler, often acting without considering the consequences. a running joke throughout the series is how deeply in debt she is, and how any windfalls of money she might come into, always immediately go into either paying off the damages to her surroundings, or else into debts accumulated for the same reason. , also known as black howling, is a vaar of kuruda and elle ragu's adopted brother. his origins differ slightly between the oav and anime. in the anime, gau is ten when the attack occurs. seeing his parents murdered in front of him, gau snaps and attacks the bandits. he kills most of them, but then his luck runs out. elle shows up before he himself is killed, and finishes off the remaining bandits. in the oav, bandits attacked his home village when he was nine years old, slaughtering everyone, including gau's parents. over the next year, gau exercised guerrilla-style attacks against the bandits for revenge. he eventually encounters elle on the road by chance. since gau is the only survivor of his village, elle takes him with her. originally, gau only intended to follow elle in order to steal all her money and discover the source of her powers. however, after some time, gau came to care for elle like an older sister. over the years, gau has trained side by side with elle in an effort to become strong. with his dedication and signs of promise, he quickly catches the attention of the 57th sevaar, scarface, who decides to help gau improve, albeit only indirectly. many incidents that gau encounters are in some way or another engineered by scarface, for the purpose of driving him to improve and become stronger. he also catches the love-interest of kyuo lyu, however gau is completely oblivious to her intentions. in an ironic turn of events, scrib lowengren, king iba sutra's apprentice in open skills and effectively gau's rival in the race to become the next sevaar, falls in love with kyuo at first sight and a love triangle develops. the two of them battle each other several times, gau eventually coming out the overall victor. in respect, lowe gives gau his earrings, which gau wears during his most important battles. fia arcana, also known as and later takes the title , is the daughter of a famed sui rem, a sorcerer who uses magical talismans in battle, who was also a master of shadow skills. one of the laws of the sui rem states that when one's master is slain, their disciple(s) must cast off their name until the master has been avenged. because of this, fia changed her name to faurink maya ("folli" for short), later gaining the nickname "plasmatizer". when she first met elle, fia resented her and looked at her as a rival. however, when news came that elle had killed her father in battle, that sense of rivalry turned to rage. eventually, she managed to hunt down elle and confront her. during the battle faury attempted to kill elle using the nothingness talisman, a forbidden spell known only to the arcana family, but the mine collapsing as a result of the fight precluded this, trapping faury under debris to where she could not escape. surprisingly, elle rescued her and carried her out of the mine. faury, now beginning to have doubts as to elle's guilt, decided to accompany her and see what kind of person elle was. in the following years, faury became good friends with elle and would often act as an older sister figure. she looked at elle as a child of light, loved by the gods, while herself as a child of darkness who envied the light. she looked out for elle as her conscience. it is later revealed that it was not elle who had killed her father, but louie francil, another disciple of her father. he tells them that he had intended for faury and elle to kill each other so that he alone could claim the inheritance of his master's powers and title. gau overhears this and fights and defeats louie, blasting him off the cliff where they stood overlooking elle and faury, consequently aborting their own battle. from then on, faury's friendship with elle became even stronger. in the manga, it was emphasized that faury was a bad cook, and was also revealed later in the series (after the point where the anime ends) that she was also married. her husband's name was woaks porelo, and it was revealed that they had married in juliannes 4 years previous, when faury was 15. her reason for leaving him had been because of her father's murder, and subsequently faury's search for elle. is a former member of the septia troupe phantom, a group of trained hunters who tracked down demon-beasts, capturing and taming them for use in society. her grandfather, jin stolla, was the leader of phantom and considered to be one of the greatest septias ever. when phantom decided to go after the legendary demon beast, the king of the moon, they had no idea what they were up against. the king of the moon, whose powers of strength and regeneration were unstoppable while under the moonlight, destroyed an entire village. the phantom unit tried to stop the beast but they were all wiped out just in one night. in the morning, kyuo found the corpses of her teammates and buried them. kyuo returned to kuruda and tried to hire a group of thugs to help her hunt down the king of the moon, but they had other things in mind (a young defenseless girl alone in a bar, you get the idea). luckily, elle and gau overheard the conversation from their table, and gau immediately jumped right in to defend kyuo. when the thugs found out that the 59th sevaar was on kyuo's side, they immediately ran for the hills. kyuo paid elle for the help, which unfortunately went to cover elle's debts. kyuo offered them more money if they were willing to help her, however elle was hesitant at first because she thought kyuo wanted her help to capture the demon-beast. it startled everyone, therefore, when kyuo admitted that she wanted it dead, not captured – a desire counter to the purpose septias played in society. upon that, elle agreed. during the hunt, kyuo showed a remarkable talent for setting traps, as well as handling a series of chakram-like rings called chulinks. these rings are an integral part of a septia's abilities and duties, serving as focal points to activate and control their traps. in combat chulinks could also be used as weapons; by attaching a cord to it, a chulink could be used as both a throwing weapon as well as in a way similar to a whip. that night, the king of the moon appeared and a fierce battle ensued. elle and gau's attacks were devastating, even so far as splitting the demon-beast in half, but as the fight was occurring beneath a full moon, the demon-beast was able to heal even the most debilitating wounds as soon as they occurred, even regenerate severed limbs. it was kyuo's efforts in the end that saved them, her traps pinning the demon-beast in place until the sun rose, and the king of the moon's powers waned to the point where it could be, and was, killed. with her revenge now complete, kyuo had nowhere left to go, so elle invited her to join the group. she has been with them ever since. during her stay with the group, kyuo was often emphasized as the weakest member of the group, especially as compared to elle and gau's shadow skills and faury's sui rem talisman magic. it was also revealed that kyuo possessed horrific scars on both arms from the early days of her training, a result of mishandling her chulinks. later on, she met lowengren, a vaar who specialized in open skills, who fell madly in love with her but whose affections she did not seem to notice. following the lightning battle, kyuo managed to get some quality time alone with gau, but gau's immense progress left kyuo afraid of being left behind because she was weak. in practicing to become stronger, kyuo was able to successfully master the tomoway, a style of chulink-throwing and opponent-capturing which her late grandfather was famous for being a master of. one night during her practice, she was confronted with a familiar face, one that she was shocked to see. her grandfather, or so she thought. it was actually iba stolla, the 55th sevaar and king of kuruda, and also jin stolla's twin brother. he revealed to her that he was actually her granduncle and that he would use his power to protect her until the day came that she would find a man who would love and protect her. during g's attack, kyuo did not want gau to get hurt, and so placed herself on the frontline in order to stop g before gau would have to fight. however, given that her opponent was a sevaar, as expected kyuo lost badly and was very nearly killed. when gau found her, still alive but bloody and near death, he snapped and in a rage attacked g. towards the end of the series, kyuo suspected that gau was more than a brother to elle, but it was not until during solfon's attack on kuruda that she confronted elle. as a result, their quarrel was cut short. at the end of the series, when elle was exiled along with gau, she followed them from the shadows, so as to keep an eye on them. , known by his fighting name the "black wing", is considered one of the strongest fighters that ashlianna has ever seen. thirsting for strength ever since he was a boy, diaz earned a reputation during the war as a cold-blooded killing machine, he didn't care who he fought or killed. he fought side-by-side with kai shinks and vy low, the 56th and 57th sevaars crimson and scarface, eventually becoming close friends with both. when diaz turned 16, he was on his way to becoming the 58th sevaar when his parents contracted a rare disease and died. later on, his younger sister elle was also infected. after losing both his parents, he would not stand by and watch his sister die. he decided to put his ambitions aside and went to fight as a mercenary so he could earn enough money to buy medicine for elle. he succeeded and was able to save elle's life, but as a result of the extra battles that he fought in, his body was greatly weakened and had to give up his dreams of becoming a sevaar. because of this, the title of 58th sevaar went to kain phalanx. elle, feeling guilty about this, decided that she would take her brother's place and become sevaar and several years later, succeeded in becoming the 59th sevaar. after elle left, diaz stayed in his hometown of blorahan, where he lived a quiet life as a weaponsmith. it was hinted that scarface and kai visited him frequently, bringing him booze. as years went by, his condition worsened. his eyesight was slowly fading and his body was deteriorating. however, even in his weakened state, he was still very powerful. so powerful in fact, that solfon wanted to capture him, so that he would both forge weapons for them and at the same time, fight on their side. diaz obviously refused this, so solfon had no choice but to use force. this was the beginning of the battle of blorahan, also known as the lightning battle. a few weeks before solfon approached diaz, he met elle for the first time since she had left, and was also introduced to gau ban. diaz took an immediate liking to gau and considered him as family, telling gau to protect elle for him. when the lighting battle occurred, gau was ordered by scarface to protect diaz; and unbeknown to him, kai shinks was also on his way. when they arrived at blorahan, solfon had already surrounded the town. kai offered diaz some medicine that would delay the deterioration of his body, however diaz refused as he believed that everything that happens is for a reason. he lent gau his prized black wing boomerang, the source of his nickname, so that gau could use it to protect his own life while kai escorted him to kuruda. after the lightning battle, diaz lived in kuruda alone, kyuo coming over every day to wash his clothes and cook for him. he also told gau that there are certain battles that can be only fought by oneself. during g's attack on the city, diaz chose to make a comeback and volunteered to protect kuruda as a vaar. together, he, scarface, and kai managed to extinguish the fire that blazed in kuruda while gau fought g. as gau grew stronger, vy decided to further his plans to have gau become stronger, which diaz didn't like. he threatened scarface that if he was to harm his family, he would not hesitate to fight back. this, however, did not deter the 57th sevaar in the slightest. when vy asked darkness to teach gau the fear of death, diaz, being the protective older brother, went to gau's rescue. knowing his time was near, diaz put everything he had into this fight. the resulting fight proved that even in his condition, diaz was still one of the greatest warriors ashlianna had ever seen. diaz won the battle ultimately, but he also died moments later, his body finally succumbing to the ravages of his injuries. shortly after his death, he was bestowed the title of "the sword of ashlianna" by princess lilivelt lu biju, the highest honor ever granted. though diaz had indeed earning this title, its bestowment was politically motivated as well: because of shere kahn and ren fuuma's machinations, war was threatening to break out between kuruda and the other cities. by granting the title of "the sword of ashlianna" to a kurudan citizen, that war was immediately averted, as no one desired to go against the holy city's decree. later on, however, it was revealed that on diaz' death, his soul had been deliberately sealed by darkness into his black eye until such time as kai shinks could restore his body. during gau's battle with ren fuuma, the efforts of kai, darkness, and lunaris umbra finally bore fruit. diaz came back as an angel to give his brother "a little push" to victory. that is the last we see of diaz until a mysterious dialogue between darkness and lunaris about someone who suddenly disappeared because his mission was over, to bring courage to a boy. , the 57th sevaar known as scarface, is the most powerful warrior in the history of kuruda. receiving the title of high-sevaar at the age of 16 when he defeated king eva stroll, the 55th sevaar hawk eyes, in combat, he became the heir to the throne and a role model for the new generation of vaar to follow. he seems to take a liking to gau and elle, gau most especially. like all sevaar, he tends to put up an aloof air whenever he is in public, not even glancing at his own wife, folstise, the ordo codex of juliannes. he also seems to have something of a drinking problem, always having an extra bottle of booze sneaked into his cape. when gau ban first traveled to kuruda, vy immediately recognized his potential. throughout the series, he has played a prominent role in the molding of young gau. he usually influences gau in an indirect manner, such setting up battles for him to fight. at other times he would act like a father figure and give him advice that is completely in contrast to the ones given by diaz. he is actually obsessed in making gau in to the ultimate warrior, and as such he constantly seeks to test him somehow. unbeknownst to gau and the others, vy is actually the elder son of shere kahn, founder of yin-ryū, and the older brother of gau. is seen in minor roles in shadow skill parts 1 and 2. he is the personal apprentice to the kuruda king, iba stol—perhaps the king's ward? upon hearing of gau's emerging talent, low challenged him at least twice. one challenge ended in a draw, the other ended in gau forgetting all his angst and releasing the full power of shadow skill on the older boy. now they are good friends, and two sides of an uneven love triangle involving kyou. (low likes kyou, kyou likes gau. at least in the tv series. the manga has a different take on things.) he wears big, red, cherry-like earrings which play a role in gau's most crucial fight at the end of the series. is the 58th sevaar of kuruda, and goes by the moniker of g, the seventh letter in the latin alphabet which symbolizes the strongest. , also known as crimson and lazarame silver sword, is the 56th sevaar. he is a master bladesman, wealthy businessman, and high-ranking officer of the kurodan government. in addition to his status as a sevaar, he is also a raza reme (the only sevaar ever to do so), a master of the divine power of souma, and is the magical representative of his home country of kuroda at the holy city of juliannes. he worked with darkness to resurrect black wing, recipient of ashliana's highest honor, after dias rague died in a duel in which he defeated darkness. despite being the closest associate of his successor scarface, he was responsible for giving him his famous scar when they fought in a duel before vy low became the 57th sevaar. is the 55th sevaar and is a master of open skill, and the twin brother of jin stolla, the leader of septia troupe phantom. he was once defeated in personal combat by vy low, which enabled scarface to become the second high-sevaar after hawk eyes, and was also the subject of an assassination attempt by g, kain phalanx, the rogue 58th sevaar, who scarface killed in defense of the king's honor. he is the mentor of screb lohengrin and guardian of his grand-niece kyuo luo, whom he took under his wing after her grandfather was killed when the monster known as the moon king massacred the rest of their group of demon-beast-hunters. ashubal is the king of juliannes. rirubelt is the princess of juliannes. glad di is the commander of the juliannes imperial guard. faulstis low is the bearer of the ordo codex, daughter of glad di, wife of vy low, and royal knight of juliannes. lincoln township is a township in ellsworth county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 62. lincoln township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. singel 24-7 was a norwegian reality tv series that aired on tv3. 5 boys and 5 girls will live together in a house and try to find a partner. 2 people will try and split up the other couples. in singel 24-7 none of the contestants will get voted out. the viewers can choose which contestants will be living together. in singel 24-7 direkte two of the couples will each week be split up. the 2 single contestants will each week get an assignment where they will be competing against each other. the winner of the assignment will get to choose who he or she will be living with for the next week, and can also take him or her out on a romantic date. who the other single contestant will be living with is the viewers choice. contestants on singel 24-7 the series opened with 252 000 viewers, but a week after singel 24-7 had only 105 000 viewers. the final episode was watched by 64 000 viewers, and the whole series had an average of 62 000 viewers. mulberry township is a township in ellsworth county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 44. mulberry township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains one cemetery, mulberry. the stream of table rock creek runs through this township. mulberry township contains one airport or landing strip, belcher airport. george herbert walker bush, 41st president of the united states (1989–1993), 43rd vice president of the united states (1981–1989);

"raps new generation" was both a critical and commercial flop and was the group's only album not to chart on the "billboard" 200. the single "top billin'" produced by "lil" chris smith and aqil davidson however, made it to 38 on the hot rap tracks. idriz hošić (born 17 february 1944 in prijedor) is a former yugoslav international footballer from bosnia and herzegovina. during his club career, he played for nk famos hrasnica, fk partizan, 1. fc kaiserslautern and msv duisburg. he earned two caps for the yugoslavia national football team, and participated in uefa euro 1968. the alma mater of the university of pittsburgh was adopted soon after the university changed its name in 1908 from the western university of pennsylvania to its current moniker. lyrics were written by george m. p. baird, class of 1909 and were set to the tune of what was then the austrian national anthem (adopted as the german national anthem in 1922). a new tune for the "alma mater" hymn was composed by charles w. scovel, class of 1883, but it was not widely adopted and was either lost or became obscure. the "alma mater" acts as an official anthem of the university and often is played to open and/or close various university functions, including athletic contests such as football and basketball games. it is more formal than the traditional fight songs such as "hail to pitt" and the "victory song", and is typically played and sung in a more reverent fashion than other university songs. one of the first professional recordings of "alma mater", along with "hail to pitt", was by the criterion quartet on gennett records in 1920 during the 1940s, joseph wood conducted a recording of a collection of songs entitled "songs of the university of pittsburgh" that featured walter scheff, ralph nyland, and michael stewart. released on two 78-rpm discs by republic records, the album featured "pitt alma mater", "hail to pitt", "the panther", and the "pitt victory song". various compilations by the pitt band and pitt men's glee club have also been produced that have included the "alma mater". around the 1952-1953 school year, the pitt band and the pitt men's glee club collaborated to release a compilation songs entitled "songs of pitt" on rca victor records. more recent compilations included two versions of the "alma mater" in a 1987 three record set entitled "proud traditions" on the europadisk ltd. label that celebrated the bicentennial of pitt's founding, "pitt spirit" released on audio cassette in 1989, "proudly pittsburgh" in 1997, and in the late 2000s "pitt pride!" and "panther fans...are you ready?" on compact disc. today, the pitt's "alma mater" is available for purchase in a variety of formats including compact discs, mp3s, and ringtones. the lyrics to the university of pittsburgh alma mater are attributable to the 1916 edition of "the owl" student yearbook. the song is to be sung con spirito (as a triumphant anthem, not as a dirge). it comprises three verses, the first of which is sometimes repeated after the third. in some printings of the alma mater, the first verse are repeated at the end of the song. this first stanza is the most commonly performed portion of the song and is typically played or sung at formal and informal university events. alma mater, wise and glorious, child of light and bride of truth, over fate and foe victorious, dowered with eternal youth, crowned with love of son and daughter, thou shalt conquer as of yore, dear old pittsburgh, alma mater, god preserve thee evermore! the lyrics of the second stanza refer to the geographical location of the university in pittsburgh and that city's role in the early nation as the "gateway to the west". "first beyond the mountains founded" refers to the fact that the university of pittsburgh is the oldest continuously chartered institution of learning in the u.s., west of the allegheny mountains. the verse stating "twin rivers forest bounded, merge and journey toward the sea" refers to the confluence of the allegheny river from the northeast and monongahela river from the southeast to form the ohio river which eventually merges into the mississippi river that runs in the gulf of mexico. the "dawning of the nation" refers to the cities establishment as a fort and trading post prior to the american revolution and the founding of the school in 1787, just before the beginning of the constitutional convention, and to the "rough-hewn habitation" refers to the mostly log and wooden structures that made up the early city at this time, including the school's own origins in a log cabin. first beyond the mountains founded, where the west-road opens free, when twin rivers forest bounded, merge and journey toward the sea, in the dawning of the nation ere the clouds of strife had cleared, 'rose thy rough-hewn habitation, by our prophet fathers reared. in the third stanza, "all who gather at thy knee, castes and classes, creeds and races, mother, are as one to thee" references the long history of diversity in the university's student body as the first african-american student attended the school in 1829 and the first women in 1895. "gold and blue" refer to the school's colors, which were chosen sometime prior to the twentieth century when the university was known as the western university of pennsylvania. close thy mother-love embraces all who gather at thy knee, castes and classes, creeds and races, mother, are as one to thee; thou who unto knowledge bore us, in the good old days long gone, raise thy gold and blue high o'er us, land and we will follow on. the official alma mater of the university of pittsburgh is set to the tune of joseph haydn's 1797 music for "gott erhalte franz den kaiser" ("god save francis the emperor") and was used as the official anthem of the austrian emperor until the end of the monarchy in 1918. haydn also used the tune in the second movement of one of his string quartets, the "kaiserquartett". it was adopted as the music for the german national anthem, "das deutschlandlied", in 1922 during the time of the weimar republic and is still used as the german national anthem today. the tune is also used in the english-speaking world as a hymn tune, often used for the hymn "glorious things of thee are spoken" by john newton. in this context, the tune is called "austria", "austrian hymn", or "emperor's hymn" the tune is also used for the hymn "not alone for mighty empire" by william p. merrill. prior to 1908, the university was known as the western university of pennsylvania (w.u.p.), which was often termed "wup" for short. the lyrics for the alma mater for w.u.p., per the 1907 "the owl" student yearbook, are below. the references to the old name of the school in every stanza of the song suggest that, upon the university taking the name of the university of pittsburgh in 1908, that a desire grew to replace it with a new alma mater. have you heard the glad refrain? we will sing it once again, singing for western pennsylvania. with our loyal comrades true we will cheer the gold and blue, cheering for western pennsylvania. thy sons cheer thee now, to thee, w-u-p, all foemen must bow; victorious forever they colors shall be, and ever shall wave in victory every morn our colors rise in the blue and golden skies, shining for western pennsylvania, and the love in every soul brings us nearer to the goal- vict'ry for western pennsylvania every man shall play his part; each hath love within his heart, love for old western pennsylvania dear old wup shall never fear while a thousand voices cheer, cheer for old western pennsylvania. let the echo then resound with the joyous gladsome sound, singing for western pennsylvania loyalty each breast shall sway, hand and heart shall meet to-day, cheering for western pennsylvania. all hail to thee; ever beloved they name shall be. honored in memory thy name we hold; ever revering the blue and gold- various lyrics, poems, or chants under the heading or title of "alma mater" have appeared throughout the years in various student and school publications. the pervasiveness and use of these lyrics throughout the university is generally unknown. the following uncredited alma mater: a chant appeared in front of the 1911 "the owl" student yearbook. published by the junior class, the yearbook chronicles only the second school year in which the university was first known as the university of pittsburgh following its name change from the western university of pennsylvania. unknown is whether this chant served as a predecessor or candidate alma mater for the university. the lyrics of the chant represent an appreciation for the struggles endured during throughout the history of the university, which had recently moved to a new location in the oakland section of pittsburgh. this is reflected in the theme of that year's owl, who was dedicated to "the builders of the university." specifically referenced in the third stanza are references to two fires in the university's history: the great fire of 1845 that wiped out 20 square blocks of the most valuable part of pittsburgh and the subsequent fire only four years later in 1849 that destroyed the university and forced a suspension of its operations while it regrouped and rebuilt. up from the heart of things thou hast risen, my beautiful mother, born with the nation, in strife of freedom's travail and tears, formed of the new-word stuff and breath of the great primeval, strong in the valiant thews and the heart of the pioneers. blessed are they of old appointed by god for they keeping, men of the larger life, world-sculptors, captains, seers of the time to be, in they wilderness birth fruits of this perfect tree, glory of coming years. up, through sorrow and toil thou hast struggled, my beautiful mother, life wars, lures of the dust, pangs of becoming, flashes of world-hate conquered and broken, twice purged by refining fires phoenix-like, dowered with truth, thou hast risen in strength from the ashes. loyal are they and true, the sons of they blest, begetting, proud with a son's just, pride, loving, swift to defend, doing god's work and thine in the fields of the world forever till the hand of the flower be stayed and song of the reaper shall end. white on thy mountain top though shinest, my beautiful mother, tented by sapphire skies and cloudbergs fashioned in gold, gazing with theoughful eyes o'er the ale to the world's last, border were the battle of being is red and the new life wars with the old. potent and wise are they who trim thy torch for the burning, consecrate priests of the truth, maters of lore and deed, pouring the miracle cruse that, richer grows the pouring, making the base things high, sowing the perfect feed. rise, for they triumph is come, o my glorious mother, and my city, forsaking her worship of riches and power, shall leap from her grime and her gold, at thy bidding stand inspired, a sister of might in they conquering hour. a chant, entitled alma mater, appeared in the 1914 owl student yearbook and may have been a candidate to become, or a predecessor of, the current university of pittsburgh alma mater that first appeared in the 1916 owl. the author, who may have been baird, was credited simply as "b.-'09", and although no mention was made of possible accompanying music, the owl contained the following lyrics. a chant for unwreathed victory o thou, who tread'st, with valiant feet, the rugged road of hostile years, whose lot hath been the glean-ed ears snatched from a world of garnered wheat, o hungered tender of the vine wright of unguerdoned husbandry, o thirst-irked treaderout of wine red crushed for others' revelry, wreathed in new song, i bring to thee the love of those whose hearts are thine. upon they hip the sword of might, in thy firm hand the torch of truth, thy cheeks flushed with eternal youth thy sapphire eyes thought-starred with light ; strong limbed and goddess molded, free, aureant armored, laurel crowned, and 'neath thy fountain brests close bound with cinctures of self mastery hear thou the song we sing for thee in whose fair strength our hope is found. o thou, who from reluctant dust mingled with labor's sweat and tears, — strong in a faith that knows no fears,— 'gainst scourge of flame and jealous thrust hast reared thy pillared citadel ; o keeper of the sacred fire, o warder of pirene's well o pioneer of hearts' desire, on in they triumph mounting higher to thunderous song no storm can quell. thy faith mocks our inconstancy, thy lavish palms, our avarice, thou giv'st beyond great rubies' price, a niggard alms we grudge to thee ; we buy world-laughter and reproach in love of show and civic guad, for alien brows thy cruse we broach, thy wealth we squander far abroad ; how long shall scorn and churlish pence be bartered for thine opulence? god help thy loyal sons to plead thy righteous cause till men shall rise to aid thee in thy high emprise and guard thee in thine hour of need ; god rear thy temples on the height, loosen thy burdens, set them free. god give thee champions to fight the winning fight for truth and thee. god give thee faith to keep aright thine upwards path of destiny. icky boyfriends were a locally noted indie band based in san francisco from 1989 to 1995. they were the subject of the movie "i'm not fascinating" by filmmaker danny plotnick. local hit song "burrito in the jockstrap", opens their 2 cd retrospective album "a love obscene" on

teams from 1950 to 1955. he was born in wheaton, illinois, and after signing with the st. louis cardinals in 1942, served in the united states army during world war ii. he finally appeared in 10 games for the cardinals in the and 1951 seasons, but was traded in may 1951 to the new york yankees, and was named mvp of the american association in with the kansas city blues. he played 70 games for the 1953 yankees team which captured their fifth consecutive world series title. in the 1953 series against the brooklyn dodgers, he was used as a pinch hitter in games 3 and 4, striking out both times, and as a defensive replacement for johnny mize in the ninth inning of game 6 as the yankees took the title. in december 1953 he was traded to the philadelphia athletics in an 11-player deal, and he shared playing time at first base in 1954 with lou limmer. after the athletics relocated to kansas city, missouri in , he appeared in only 12 games, ending his major league career with a batting average of .243, 11 home runs and 53 runs batted in in 195 games. he continued playing in the minor leagues in 1955 and 1956. bollweg died in wheaton at age 75. fuzzy rules are used within fuzzy logic systems to infer an output based on input variables. modus ponens and modus tollens are the most important rules of inference. a modus ponens rule is in the form in crisp logic, the premise "x is a" can only be true or false. however, in a fuzzy rule, the premise "x is a" and the consequent "y is b" can be true to a degree, instead of entirely true or entirely false. this is achieved by representing the linguistic variables "a" and "b" using fuzzy sets. in a fuzzy rule, modus ponens is extended to "generalised modus ponens:." the key difference is that the premise "x is a" can be only partially true. as a result, the consequent "y is b" is also partially true. truth is represented as a real number between 0 and 1, where 0 is false and 1 is true. as an example, consider a rule used to control a three-speed fan. a binary if-then statement may be the disadvantage of this rule is that it uses a strict temperature as a threshold, but the user may want the fan to still function at this speed when temperature = 29.9. a fuzzy if-then statement may be where "hot" and "fast" are described using fuzzy sets. rules can connect multiple variables through fuzzy set operations using t-norms and t-conorms. t-norms are used as an "and" connector. for example, a degree of truth is assigned to "temperature is hot" and to "humidity is high." the result of a t-norm operation on these two degrees is used as the degree of truth that "fan speed is fast". t-conorms are used as an "or" connector. for example, the result of a t-conorm operation on these two degrees is used as the degree of truth that "fan speed is fast". the complement of a fuzzy set is used as a negator. for example, the fuzzy set "not hot" is the complement of "hot." the degree of truth assigned to "temperature is not hot" is used as the degree of truth that "fan speed is slow". t-conorms are less commonly used as rules can be represented by "and" and "or" connectors exclusively. the 1998 south carolina gamecocks football team represented the university of south carolina in the southeastern conference (sec) during the 1998 ncaa division i-a football season. the gamecocks were led by head coach brad

holtz was subsequently hired as south carolina's new head coach. the 2002 big east men's basketball tournament took place at madison square garden in new york city. its winner received the big east conference's automatic bid to the 2002 ncaa tournament. it is a single-elimination tournament with four rounds and the two highest seeds in each division received byes in the first round. the six teams with the best conference records in each division were invited to participate for a total of 12 teams. teams were seeded by division. connecticut and pittsburgh had the best regular season conference records and received the east #1 seed and west #1 seed, respectively. connecticut defeated pittsburgh in the championship game 74–65 in double overtime to win their fifth big east tournament championship. note: by finishing in last place during the regular season in their respective divisions, virginia tech and west virginia did not qualify for the tournament. caron butler, the tournament mvp, gave connecticut the lead for good at 66–64 on a turnaround jumper with 1:59 left in the second overtime, and pittsburgh fell to the huskies in two overtimes, 74–65. after ben gordon was tied up with two seconds left on the shot clock, taliek brown put up a desperation heave from about thirty feet away with the shot clock running down to put the huskies up 69–64, and they never looked back. brandin knight had a chance to win it for pittsburgh at the end of the first overtime. after slipping and injuring his right knee, just as they tied the game at 52, knight was clearly in pain. however, with 1.7 seconds left in ot, he checked into the game and put up a 40-foot 3-point attempt that would have won the game. it bounced off the rim and the game went to double ot. knight's eight assists tied him at 229 for the school record in a season. he had fifteen points in the loss. ontario lett, who tied the game with 23 seconds left in overtime, had 17 in the loss. butler finished with 23 points for uconn in the win, while brown added 13. it was the fifth big east tournament championship for the huskies, their last coming in 1999, when they went on to win the national championship. it was their sixth title game appearance in the last eight years. the game was the second-longest title game in league history. syracuse beat villanova 83–80 in three overtimes in 1981. dave gavitt trophy (most valuable player): caron butler, connecticut daniel b. kopans, md, facr is a radiologist specializing in mammography and other forms of breast imaging. dr. daniel kopans is a leading expert in breast cancer detection and diagnosis. he is the founder of the breast imaging division in the department of radiology at the massachusetts general hospital. in 1984 he was the lead author on a paper in the new england journal of medicine describing the developing subspecialty of "breast imaging". one of the founders of this new field, dr. kopans has been at the forefront of combining mammography, ultrasound, and other imaging tests to aid in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. dr. kopans led the defense of screening for women ages 40–49 when an effort was made, in the 1990s, to deny these women access to screening. dr. kopans is author of over 200 scientific articles. dr. kopans invented the kopans wire used in needle localization that made it possible for radiologists to accurately guide surgeons to lesions detected by mammography which made it possible to diagnose breast cancers at a smaller size and earlier stage excisional breast biopsies. he was also instrumental in creation of the breast imaging reporting and data system (bi-rads) coding system used in all american mammography reports, serving as co-chair of a committee of the american college of radiology which developed this system. this system helped to standardize the reporting of mammography results. dr. kopans has also been a leading figure in the development of breast tomosynthesis. kopans was a leading figure in the debate over the advisability of screening mammography beginning in the 1980s. during the early 1990s, following a decision by the national cancer institute to drop support for screening women in their 40s, and subsequently following series of articles in "the new york times" by gina kolata which questioned the value of screening mammography for those in the 40-50 age group, dr. kopans was a leading figure during a prolonged battle, arguing in favor of the benefits of mammography. by 1997, the national cancer institute had reversed course and once again supported screening for women in their 40s. however, 2009 united states preventive services task force guidelines no longer recommend routine screening in women 40 to 49. kopans is author of the textbook "breast imaging". he practices radiology at massachusetts general hospital in boston and is a professor at harvard medical school. kopans attended harvard college where he earned his bachelor of arts degree cum laude in 1969. he received his medical degree from harvard medical school in 1972, where he was also inducted into the alpha omega alpha honor society. following a medical internship at dartmouth medical school, dr. kopans completed his residency training in 1977 at massachusetts general hospital in diagnostic radiology, where he received board certification and was then appointed to the staff of the department of radiology at mgh one year later. the american society of breast disease honored daniel kopans with the 2007 pathfinder award in breast imaging for his work in helping to improve breast cancer survival. he is also a recipient of a gold medal from the society for breast imaging. garden city township is a township in finney county, kansas, usa. as of

theory (flint) is a c library for number theory applications. the two major areas of functionality currently implemented in flint are polynomial arithmetic over the integers and a quadratic sieve. the library is designed to be compiled with the gnu multi-precision library (gmp) and is released under the gnu general public license. it is developed by william hart of the university of kaiserslautern (formerly university of warwick) and david harvey of university of new south wales (formerly harvard university) to address the speed limitations of the pari and ntl libraries. phonological development refers to how children learn to organize sounds into meaning or language (phonology) during their stages of growth. sound is at the beginning of language learning. children have to learn to distinguish different sounds and to segment the speech stream they are exposed to into units – eventually meaningful units – in order to acquire words and sentences. here is one reason that speech segmentation is challenging: when you read, there are spaces between the words. no such spaces occur between spoken words. so, if an infant hears the sound sequence “thisisacup,” it has to learn to segment this stream into the distinct units “this”, “is”, “a”, and “cup.” once the child is able to extract the sequence “cup” from the speech stream it has to assign a meaning to this word. furthermore, the child has to be able to distinguish the sequence “cup” from “cub” in order to learn that these are two distinct words with different meanings. finally, the child has to learn to produce these words. the acquisition of native language phonology begins in the womb and isn't completely adult-like until the teenage years. perceptual abilities (such as being able to segment “thisisacup” into four individual word units) usually precede production and thus aid the development of speech production. children do not utter their first words until they are about 1 year old, but already at birth they can tell some utterances in their native language from utterances in languages with different prosodic features. infants as young as 1 month perceive some speech sounds as speech categories (they display categorical perception of speech). for example, the sounds /b/ and /p/ differ in the amount of breathiness that follows the opening of the lips. using a computer generated continuum in breathiness between /b/ and /p/, eimas et al. (1971) showed that english-learning infants paid more attention to differences near the boundary between /b/ and /p/ than to equal-sized differences within the /b/-category or within the /p/-category. their measure, monitoring infant sucking-rate, became a major experimental method for studying infant speech perception. infants up to 10–12 months can distinguish not only native sounds but also nonnative contrasts. older children and adults lose the ability to discriminate some nonnative contrasts. thus, it seems that exposure to one's native language causes the perceptual system to be restructured. the restructuring reflects the system of contrasts in the native language. at four months infants still prefer infant-directed speech to adult-directed speech. whereas 1-month-olds only exhibit this preference if the full speech signal is played to them, 4-month-old infants prefer infant-directed speech even when just the pitch contours are played. this shows that between 1 and 4 months of age, infants improve in tracking the suprasegmental information in the speech directed at them. by 4 months, finally, infants have learned which features they have to pay attention to at the suprasegmental level. babies prefer to hear their own name to similar-sounding words. it is possible that they have associated the meaning “me” with their name, although it is also possible that they simply recognize the form because of its high frequency. with increasing exposure to the ambient language, infants learn not to pay attention to sound distinctions that are not meaningful in their native language, e.g., two acoustically different versions of the vowel /i/ that simply differ because of inter-speaker variability. by 6 months of age infants have learned to treat acoustically different sounds that are representations of the same sound category, such as an /i/ spoken by a male versus a female speaker, as members of the same phonological category /i/. infants are able to extract meaningful distinctions in the language they are exposed to from statistical properties of that language. for example, if english-learning infants are exposed to a prevoiced /d/ to voiceless unaspirated /t/ continuum (similar to the /d/ - /t/ distinction in spanish) with the majority of the tokens occurring near the endpoints of the continuum, i.e., showing extreme prevoicing versus long voice onset times (bimodal distribution) they are better at discriminating these sounds than infants who are exposed primarily to tokens from the center of the continuum (unimodal distribution). these results show that at the age of 6 months infants are sensitive to how often certain sounds occur in the language they are exposed to and they can learn which cues are important to pay attention to from these differences in frequency of occurrence. in natural language exposure this means typical sounds in a language (such as prevoiced /d/ in spanish) occur often and infants can learn them from mere exposure to them in the speech they hear. all of this occurs before infants are aware of the meaning of any of the words they are exposed to, and therefore the phenomenon of statistical learning has been used to argue for the fact that infants can learn sound contrasts without meaning being attached to them. at 6 months, infants are also able to make use of prosodic features of the ambient language to break the speech stream they are exposed to into meaningful units, e.g., they are better able to distinguish sounds that occur in stressed vs. unstressed syllables. this means that at 6 months infants have some knowledge of the stress patterns in the speech they are exposed and they have learned that these patterns are meaningful. at 7.5 months english-learning infants have been shown to be able to segment words from speech that show a strong-weak (i.e., trochaic) stress pattern, which is the most common stress pattern in the english language, but they were not able to segment out words that follow a weak-strong pattern. in the sequence ‘guitar is’ these infants thus heard ‘taris’ as the word-unit because it follows a strong-weak pattern. the process that allows infants to use prosodic cues in speech input to learn about language structure has been termed “prosodic bootstrapping”. while children generally don't understand the meaning of most single words yet, they understand the meaning of certain phrases they hear a lot, such as “stop it,” or “come here.” infants can distinguish native from nonnative language input using phonetic and phonotactic patterns alone, i.e., without the help of prosodic cues. they seem to have learned their native language's phonotactics, i.e., which combinations of sounds are possible in the language. infants now can no longer discriminate most nonnative sound contrasts that fall within the same sound category in their native language. their perceptual system has been tuned to the contrasts relevant in their native language. as for word comprehension, fenson et al. (1994) tested 10-11-month-old children's comprehension vocabulary size and found a range from 11 words to 154 words. at this age, children normally have not yet begun to speak and thus have no production vocabulary. so clearly, comprehension vocabulary develops before production vocabulary. even though children do not produce their first words until they are approximately 12 months old, the ability to produce speech sounds starts to develop at a much younger age. stark (1980) distinguishes five stages of early speech development: these earliest vocalizations include crying and vegetative sounds such as breathing, sucking or sneezing. for these vegetative sounds, infants’ vocal cords vibrate and air passes through their vocal apparatus, thus familiarizing infants with processes involved in later speech production. infants produce cooing sounds when they are content. cooing is often triggered by social interaction with caregivers and resembles the production of vowels. infants produce a variety of vowel- and consonant-like sounds that they combine into increasingly longer sequences. the production of vowel sounds (already in the first 2 months) precedes the production of consonants, with the first back consonants (e.g., [g], [k]) being produced around 2–3 months, and front consonants (e.g., [m], [n], [p]) starting to appear around 6 months of age. as for pitch contours in early infant utterances, infants between 3 and 9 months of age produce primarily flat, falling and rising-falling contours. rising pitch contours would require the infants to raise subglottal pressure during the vocalization or to increase vocal fold length or tension at the end of the vocalization, or both. at 3 to 9 months infants don't seem to be able to control these movements yet. reduplicated babbling contains consonant-vowel (cv) syllables that are repeated in reduplicated series of the same consonant and vowel (e.g., [bababa]). at this stage, infants’ productions resemble speech much more closely in timing and vocal behaviors than at earlier stages. starting around 6 months babies also show an influence of the ambient language in their babbling, i.e., babies’ babbling sounds different depending on which languages they hear. for example, french learning 9-10 month-olds have been found to produce a bigger proportion of prevoiced stops (which exist in french but not english) in their babbling than english learning infants of the same age. this phenomenon of babbling being influenced by the language being acquired has been called babbling drift. infants now combine different vowels and consonants into syllable strings. at this stage, infants also produce various stress and intonation patterns. during this transitional period from babbling to the first word children also produce “protowords”, i.e., invented words that are used consistently to express specific meanings, but that are not real words in the children's target language. around 12–14 months of age children produce their first word. infants close to one year of age are able to produce rising pitch contours in addition to flat, falling, and rising-falling pitch contours. at the age of 1, children only just begin to speak, and their utterances are not adult-like yet at all. children's perceptual abilities are still developing, too. in fact, both production and perception abilities continue to develop well into the school years, with the perception of some prosodic features not being fully developed until about 12 years of age. children are able to distinguish newly learned ‘words’ associated with objects if they are not similar-sounding, such as ‘lif’ and ‘neem’. they cannot distinguish similar-sounding newly learned words such as ‘bih’ and ‘dih’, however. so, while children at this age are able to distinguish monosyllabic minimal pairs at a purely phonological level, if the discrimination task is paired with word meaning, the additional cognitive load required by learning the word meanings leaves them unable to spend the extra effort on distinguishing the similar phonology. children's comprehension vocabulary size ranges from about 92 to 321 words. the production vocabulary size at this age is typically around 50 words. this shows that comprehension vocabulary grows faster than production vocabulary. at 18–20 months infants can distinguish newly learned ‘words’, even if they are phonologically similar, e.g. ‘bih’ and ‘dih’. while infants are able to distinguish syllables like these already soon after birth, only now are they able to distinguish them if they are presented to them as meaningful words rather than just a sequence of sounds. children are also able to detect mispronunciations such as ‘vaby’ for ‘baby’. recognition has been found to be poorer for mispronounced than for correctly pronounced words. this suggests that infants’ representations of familiar words are phonetically very precise. this result has also been taken to suggest that infants move from a word-based to a segment-based phonological system around 18 months of age. of course, the reason why children need to learn the sound distinctions of their language is because then they also have to learn the meaning associated with those different sounds. young children have a remarkable ability to learn meanings for the words they extract from the speech they are exposed to, i.e., to map meaning onto the sounds. often children already associate a meaning with a new word after only one exposure. this is referred to as “fast mapping”. at 20 months of age, when presented with three familiar objects (e.g., a ball, a bottle and a cup) and one unfamiliar object (e.g., an egg piercer), children are able to conclude that in the request “can i have the zib,” zib must refer to the unfamiliar object, i.e., the egg piercer, even if they have never heard that pseudoword before. children as young as 15 months can complete this task successfully if the experiment is conducted with fewer objects. this task shows that children aged 15 to 20 months can assign meaning to a new word after only a single exposure. fast mapping is a necessary ability for children to acquire the number of words they have to learn during the first few years of life: children acquire an average of nine words per day between 18 months and 6 years of age. at 2 years, infants show first signs of phonological awareness, i.e., they are interested in word play, rhyming, and alliterations. phonological awareness does continue to develop until the first years of school. for example, only about half of the 4- and 5-year olds tested by liberman et al. (1974) were able to tap out the number of syllables in multisyllabic words, but 90% of the 6-year-olds were able to do so. most 3-4-year olds are able to break simple consonant-vowel-consonant (cvc) syllables up into their constituents (onset and rime). the onset of a syllable consists of all the consonants preceding the syllable's vowel, and the rime is made up of the vowel and all following consonants. for example, the onset in the word ‘dog’ is /d/ and the rime is /og/. children at 3–4 years of age were able to tell that the nonwords /fol/ and /fir/ would be liked by a puppet whose favorite sound is /f/. 4-year olds are less successful at this task if the onset of the syllable contains a consonant cluster, such as /fr/ or /fl/. liberman et al. found that no 4-year-olds and only 17% of 5-year-olds were able to tap out the number of phonemes (individual sounds) in a word. 70% of 6-year-olds were able to do so. this might mean that children are aware of syllables as units of speech early on, while they don't show awareness of individual phonemes until school age. another explanation is that individual sounds do not easily translate into beats, which makes clapping individual phonemes a much more difficult task than clapping syllables. one reason why phoneme awareness gets much better once children start school is because learning to read provides a visual aid as how to break up words into their smaller constituents. although children perceive rhythmic patterns in their native language at 7–8 months, they are not able to reliably distinguish compound words and phrases that differ only in stress placement, such as ‘hot dog’ vs. ‘hot dog’ until around 12 years of age. children in a study by vogel and raimy (2002) were asked to show which of two pictures (i.e., a dog or a sausage) was being named. children younger than 12 years generally preferred the compound reading (i.e., the sausage) to the phrasal reading (the dog). the authors concluded from this that children start out with a lexical bias, i.e., they prefer to interpret phrases like these as single words, and the ability to override this bias develops until late in childhood. infants usually produce their first word around 12 –14 months of age. first words are simple in structure and contain the same sounds that were used in late babbling. the lexical items they produce are probably stored as whole words rather than as individual segments that get put together online when uttering them. this is suggested by the fact that infants at this age may produce the same sounds differently in different words. children's production vocabulary size at this age is typically around 50 words, although there is great variation in vocabulary size among children in the same age group, with a range between 0 and 160 words for the majority of children. children's productions become more consistent around the age of 18 months. when their words differ from adult forms, these differences are more systematic than before. these systematic transformations are referred to as “phonological processes”, and often resemble processes that are typically common in the adult phonologies of the world's languages (cf. reduplication in adult jamaican creole: “yellow yellow” = “very yellow” ). some common phonological processes are listed below. - "weak syllable deletion": omission of an unstressed syllable in the target word, e.g., for ‘banana’ - "final consonant deletion": omission of the final consonant in the target word, e.g., for ‘because’ - "reduplication": production of two identical syllables based on one of the target word syllables, e.g., for ‘bottle’ - "consonant harmony": a target word consonant takes on features of another target word consonant, e.g., for ‘duck’ - "consonant cluster reduction": omission of a consonant in a target word cluster, e.g., for ‘cracker’ - "velar fronting": a velar is replaced by a coronal sound, e.g., for ‘key’ - "stopping": a fricative is replaced by a stop, e.g., for ‘sea’ - "gliding": a liquid is replaced by a glide, e.g., for ‘rabbit’ the size of the production vocabulary ranges from about 50 to 550 words at the age of 2 years. influences on the rate of word learning, and thus on the wide range of vocabulary sizes of children of the same age, include the amount of speech children are exposed to by their caregivers as well as differences in how rich the vocabulary in the speech a child hears is. children also seem to build up their vocabulary faster if the speech they hear is related to their focus of attention more often. this would be the case if a caregiver talks about a ball the child is currently looking at. a study by gathercole and baddeley (1989) showed the importance of sound for early word meaning. they tested the phonological memory of 4- and 5-year-old children, i.e., how well these children were able to remember a sequence of unfamiliar sounds. they found that children with better phonological memory also had larger vocabularies at both ages. moreover, phonological memory at age 4 predicted the children's vocabulary at age 5, even with earlier vocabulary and nonverbal intelligence factored out. children produce mostly adult-like segments. their ability to produce complex sound sequences and multisyllabic words continues to improve throughout middle childhood. the developmental changes in infants’ vocalizations over the first year of life are influenced by physical developments during that time. physical growth of the vocal tract, brain development, and development of neurological structures responsible for vocalization are factors for the development of infants’ vocal productions. infants vocal tracts are smaller, and initially also shaped differently from adults’ vocal tracts. the infant's tongue fills the entire mouth, thus reducing the range of movement. as the facial skeleton grows, the range for movement increases, which probably contributes to the increased variety of sounds infants start to produce. development of muscles and sensory receptors also gives infants more control over sound production. the limited movement possible by the infant jaw and mouth might be responsible for the typical consonant-vowel (cv) alternation in babbling and it has even been suggested that the predominance of cv syllables in the languages of the world might evolutionarily have been caused by this limited range of movements of the human vocal organs. the differences between the vocal tract of infants and adults can be seen in figure 3 (infants) and figure 4 (adults) below. crying and vegetative sounds are controlled by the brain stem, which matures earlier than the cortex. neurological development of higher brain structures coincides with certain developments in infants’ vocalizations. for example, the onset of cooing at 6 to 8 weeks happens as some areas of the limbic system begin to function. the limbic system is known to be involved in the expression of emotion, and cooing in infants is associated with a feeling of contentedness. further development of the limbic system might be responsible for the onset of laughter around 16 weeks of age. the motor cortex, finally, which develops later than the abovementioned structures may be necessary for canonical babbling, which start around 6 to 9 months of age. the ho people are an austroasiatic speaking ethnic group of india. they are mostly concentrated in the state of jharkhand where they constitute around 10.7% of the total scheduled tribe population as of 2011. with a population of approximately 700,000 in the state in 2001, the ho were the fourth most numerous scheduled tribe in jharkhand after the santals, kurukhs, and mundas. ho also inhabit adjacent areas in the neighboring states of odisha, west bengal and bihar bringing the total to 806,921 as of 2001. they also live in bangladesh and nepal the ethnonym "ho" is derived from the ho language word "hō" meaning "human". the name is also applied to their language which is an austroasiatic language closely related to mundari. according to "ethnologue", the total number of people speaking the ho language was 1,040,000 as of 2001. similar to other austroasiatic groups in the area, the ho report varying degrees of multilingualism, also using hindi and english. over 90% of the ho practice the indigenous religion sarnaism. the majority of the ho are involved in agriculture, either as land owners or laborers, while others are engaged in mining. compared to the rest of india, the ho have a low literacy rate and a low rate of school enrollment. the government of jharkhand has recently approved measures to help increase enrollment and literacy among children. linguistic studies similarly suggest that the austroasiatic homeland was in southeast asia and austroasiatic languages arrived on the coast of odisha from southeast asia about 4000-3500 years ago.the austroasiatic speaker spread from southeast asia and mixed extensively with local indian populations. according to historian ram sharan sharma in his book india's ancient past mentioned that, many austroasiatic, dravidian, and non-sanskrit terms occur in the vedic texts ascribed to 1500-500 bc.they indicate ideas, institutions, products, and settlements associated with peninsular and non-vedic india. the people of this area spoke the proto-munda language. several terms in the indo-aryan languages that signify the use of cotton, navigation, digging, stick, etc. have been traced to the munda languages by linguists. there are many munda pockets in chota nagpur plateau, in which the remnants of munda culture are strong. it is held that changes in the phonetics and vocabulary of the vedic language can be explained as much on the basis of the dravidian influence as that of the munda. starting from the period between the 9th and 12th centuries, copper was smelted in many parts of old singhbhum district. it is believed that many immigrants entered singhbhum from manbhum in the 14th century or earlier. when the hos entered old singhbhum, they overcame the bhuiyas, who were then inhabitants of the forest country. in the latter half of the eighteenth century, the hos fought several wars against the rajas of the chota nagpur states and mayurbhanj to retain their independence. as far as is known, the muslims left them alone. although the area was formally claimed to be a part of the mughal empire, neither the mughals nor the marathas, who were active in the surrounding areas during the decline of the mughals, ventured into the area. in 1765, chota nagpur was ceded to the british east india company as part of bengal, bihar, and orissa provinces. the raja of singhbhum asked the british resident at midnapore for protection in 1767, but it was not until 1820 that he acknowledged himself as a feudatory of the british. the restless hos broke the agreement soon and took part in a fierce rebellion of 1831-33, called the kol uprising, along with the mundas. the immediate cause of the kol uprising was the oppression of adivsis by non-adivasi "thikadars" (literally meaning contractors) or farmers of rent. the hos and mundas were joined by the kurukh and the houses of many "dikku" (non-adivasis or outsiders) landlords were burnt and a number of people were killed. it compelled the british to recognise the need for a thorough subjugation of the hos. the uprising was suppressed with a good deal of trouble by several hundred british troops. while local troops quelled the uprising, another group under colonel richards entered singhbhum in november 1836. within three months all the ringleaders surrendered. in 1857, the raja of porahat rose in rebellion and a sizeable section of the hos joined in the revolt. troops were sent who put an end to the disturbances by 1859. ho people speak the ho language, an austroasiatic language closely related to mundari and more distantly related to languages of southeast asia such as khmer and mon. the austroasiatic languages of india, including ho, are inflected fusional languages unlike their distant relatives in southeast asia which are analytic languages. this difference in typology is due to extensive language contact with the unrelated indo-aryan and dravidian languages. the phonology of ho has also been influenced by the nearby unrelated languages. there are at least three dialects of ho: lohara, chaibasa and thakurmunda. all dialects are mutually intelligible with approximately 92% of all ho speakers able to understand a narrative discourse in both chaibasa and thakurmunda dialects. the most divergent dialects are in the extreme south and east of ho territory. while fewer than five percent of ho speakers are literate in the language, ho is typically written in devanagari, latin, scripts. a native alphabet, called warang citi and invented by lako bodra in the 20th century, also exists. ho village life revolves around five main "parab" or festivals. the most important festival, "mage parab", takes place in the late winter month of magha and marks the completion of the agricultural cycle. it is a week-long celebration held to honor singbonga, the creator god. other lesser "bonga" ("deities") are also honored throughout the week. baa parab, the festival of flowers held in mid-spring, celebrates the yearly blossoming of the sacred sal trees. "sohrai or gaumara is the most important agricultural festival, the date of which usually coincides with the nationwide festivities in the fall. it is a village wide celebration with music and dancing held in honor of the cattle used in cultivation. during the ceremonies, the cows are painted with a flour and dye mix, anointed with oil and prayed over after a black chicken is sacrificed to an image of the cattle bonga. baba hermutu is the ceremonial first sowing. the date is set each year in the early spring by the "deuri"or "priest pahan" who also officiates the three-day ceremony by praying and commencing his first sowing of the year. jomnama parab is held in late fall before the first harvest is eaten to thank the spirits for a trouble-free harvest. dance is important to adivasi culture in general and for the ho, it is more than simply a means of entertainment. their songs are generally accompanied by dances which change with the seasons. songs and distinctively choreographed dance are integral parts of ho culture and art, as well as important parts of their traditional festivals, especially mage parab. most villages have a dedicated dancing ground, called akhra, usually consisting of a cleared space of hard ground under a spreading tree. dances are organised on a staggered basis in the villages so that other villagers can participate. traditional ho music incorporates native instruments including a "dama" (drum), "dholak", "dumeng" (mandar), and the "rutu" (flute). the ho people brew a y of rice-beer commonly known as "diyeng ". in the 2001 national census, 91% of the hos declared that they professed "other religions and persuations", meaning that they do not consider themselves to belong to any of the major religious groups and follow their indigenous religious systems called "sarna" or sarnaism. also known as "sarna dhorom" ("religion of the holy woods"), this religion plays an important part in the life of adivasi. their beliefs in gods, goddesses and spirits are ingrained in them from childhood. the religion of the hos resembles, to a great extent that of santhals, oraons, mundas, and other tribal people in the region. all religious rituals are performed by a village priest known as a "deuri". however, he is not required to propitiate malevolent spirits or deities. the spirit doctor "deowa" takes care of this. houlton writes, "i do not want to give the impression, by mentioning occasional divergences from the straight and narrow path, that aboriginals are immoral. on the contrary, their standards of post-marital morality and fidelity are probably a good deal higher than in some races that claim to be more civilised. the status of women is high. wives are partners and companions to their husbands. it is even whispered that hen-pecked husbands are not uncommon among the tribesmen." there is a system of payment of bride-price amongst the hos. the bride-price is often a status symbol and in modern times it remains not more than 101-1001 rupees. as a result, many ho girls remain unmarried till advanced age. among the total ho population, females outnumber the males. almost half the population is engaged in cultivation and another one third also work as land-less agricultural labourers. the hos, along with santals, oraons and mundas, are comparatively more advanced, and have taken to settled cultivation as their mode of life. the discovery of iron ore in ho territory opened the way for the first iron ore mine in india at pansira buru in 1901. over the years iron ore mining spread out in the area. many hos are engaged in mining work but that does not add up to any sizeable percentage. however, small, well planned mining towns dotting the territory have brought the ho people in close touch with the good and bad aspects of urbanization. some of the prominent mining towns in the area are chiria, gua, noamundi and kiriburu. sal (shorea robusta) is the most important tree in the area and it seems to have a preference for the rocky soil there. although sal is a deciduous tree and sheds its leaves in early summer, the forest undergrowth is generally evergreen, which has such trees as mangoes, jamun, jackfruit, and piar. other important trees are mahua, kusum, tilai, harin hara (armossa rohitulea), gular (fiscus glomerata), asan. the singhbhum forests are best in the kolhan area in the south-west of the district. the lives of ho people have long been intertwined with sal forests and there is a strong resentment against the efforts of timber merchants to replace sal forests with teak plantations. the reserved forests are the haunt of many animals. wild elephants are common in saranda (literally meaning seven hundred hills) and porahat forests. herds of sambar and chital roam about the forests. bison is still found (locally extinct when a study was undertaken in 2005 by kisor chaudhuri frgs). tigers were never numerous but they are there (locally extinct when a study was undertaken in 2005 by kisor chaudhuri frgs). leopards are more common. the hos are keen hunters and have practically exterminated game in kolhan. they organise great "battues", in which thousands of people join. they beat their drums in a huge circle, and gradually close in over hills and across forests, driving the wild animals on to a central point, on to which lines of hunters converge until the animals are surrounded and slaughtered. as per the 2011 census, the literacy rate for the ho population was around 44.7% for all and 33.1% for women, much lower than the jharkhand averages of 66.4% for all and 55.4% for women. in order to help increase the literacy rates, the government announced in 2016 that it had designed text books to teach hindi and mathematics in ho. in 2017 those textbooks were made available on the central government's e-library platform. in a 2016 effort to help promote tribal languages tata steel, a private company, began teaching the ho language on weekends to dropout schoolgirls at a "camp school" in naomundi. as of november 2016, 100 girls were enrolled in the camp school. the company has also ran private ho language centres in east singhbhum, west singhbhum and seraikela-kharsawan districts since 2011. approximately 6000 people have underwent ho language and warang chiti script training in these centres. in 2017 the government of jharkhand announced it would soon begin teaching five- and six-year-old primary school students in their local language in order to help reduce the high dropout rate. among the hos, 19.7% have completed schooling and 3.1% are graduates. the percentage of school-going children in the age group 5 –14 years was 37.6. tribes of jharkhand garfield township is a township in finney county, kansas, usa. as of the 2000 census, its population was 331. historically the garfield township was organized as garfield county in 1887. in 1893, the kansas supreme court ruled that the county was illegally organized for not having the required of area, and the county was annexed to finney county, forming the current township. garfield county was created by an act of the kansas state legislature on march 23, 1887. it consisted of what is now the eastern portion of finney county north of gray county, kansas. the county was named after president james a. garfield, who had been assassinated six years earlier. the brief history of the county was marked by a bitter and sometimes violent rivalry between two towns, ravanna and eminence, over which would serve as county seat. during a vote on this issue held in 1887, bat masterson and twenty deputies from dodge city were sent to the county to keep the peace. ravanna won the election by just 35 votes. the citizens of eminence charged that the ballot boxes had been stuffed. the kansas supreme court agreed, and in 1889 the county seat was transferred to eminence. ravanna countered by hiring surveyors who determined that the county had less than the minimum of required for the formation of a county under article 9 of the kansas state constitution. in 1892, the kansas supreme court ruled that garfield county had indeed been illegally organized in the first place. on march 18, 1893, it was annexed to neighboring finney county. both ravanna and eminence are now ghost towns. garfield township covers an area of and contains no incorporated settlements. according to the usgs, it contains two cemeteries: eminence and garfield. garfield township is also a home to number of ghost towns. gizzie dorbor (born february 28, 1987) is a liberian

published in 1953 by fantasy press in an edition of 2,951 copies. the book is the first in campbell's arcot, morey and wade series, and is followed by the novels islands of space and invaders from the infinite. the stories originally appeared in the magazines "amazing stories" and "amazing stories quarterly", and were "extensively edited" for book publication, with campbell's approval, by lloyd arthur eshbach. "galaxy" reviewer groff conklin described the stories as "three creaking classics . . . fun to read, [but] rococo antiques [without] believable characters, human relations, even logical plots." boucher and mccomas dismissed the book as "a hopelessly outdated set of novelets . . . of concern only to those who wish to observe the awkward larval stage of a major figure in science fiction." p. schuyler miller described the stories as "old-fashioned fun which [campbell] no longer takes any more seriously than you need to." see also: list of lunar eclipses and list of 17th-century lunar eclipses calendar date notes: the julian calendar is used for all dates up to 1582 oct 04. after that date, the gregorian calendar is used. due to the gregorian calendar reform, the day after 1582 oct 04 (julian calendar) is 1582 oct 15 (gregorian calendar). this list was compiled with data calculated by fred espenak of nasa's gsfc. a neck piercing is a series of surface piercings done to emulate the appearance of a bite on the side of a person's neck. a barbell is placed in the skin of the side of the neck. when the earring/barbell is removed it looks like a vampire bite. straight barbells will, in almost every case, cause a surface piercing to be rejected. surface bars are the best jewelry for vampire bite piercings. this piercing is also commonly done through the loose flesh on the back of the neck and is called a nape piercing. shortly after the piercing is performed, the surrounding area is prone to swelling and bleeding. the neck will continue to stay swollen for the next few days, and the skin around the ends of the piercing will be red and inflamed. "the cover of 'rolling stone'" is a song written by shel silverstein and first recorded by american rock group dr. hook & the medicine show. produced by ron haffkine and released in 1972, it was the band's third single and peaked at no. 6 on the u.s. pop chart for two weeks on march 17–24, 1973. the song satirizes success in the music business; the song's narrator laments that his band, despite having the superficial attributes of a successful rock star (including drug usage, "teenage groupies, who'll do anything we say" and a frenetic guitar solo) has been unable to "get their pictures/on the cover of the "rolling stone"". as the song was riding high on the charts, the magazine finally acquiesced to dr. hook's request — after a fashion: the march 29, 1973, cover of "rolling stone" did indeed feature the band, but in caricature form rather than in a photograph (and with only three of the band's seven members). also, the group's name was not used; instead the caption read simply, "what's-their-names make the cover." bbc radio refused to play the song, as it contained the name of a commercial publication ("rolling stone") and could therefore be considered advertising. an urban legend states that the song was re-recorded by the band as "the cover of the radio times", the weekly television and radio guide published by the bbc; however, this is disputed by dennis locorriere, dr. hook's co-lead singer. "legend has it that we went into a studio and rerecorded the song. what actually happened was that a bunch of bbc disc jockeys went into a studio and shouted 'radio times' over our original chorus," locorriere said. "it's the same recording that we released but with the addition of their voices layered on top of ours. you can, however, still hear us singing 'rolling stone,' but way in the background, under their voices." the new version was rush-released in the uk, but did not find its way onto the charts there. however the band's uk publicists took advantage of the bbc's uptight attitude by advertising the single in the uk music press as "the first banned single of 1973". the song has been covered by various artists, including r. stevie moore on his 1987 album "teenage spectacular"; poison on their 2000 album "crack a smile... and more!"; sammy kershaw on his 2010 album "better than i used to be", with his version featuring jamey johnson; black francis on the album "twistable, turnable man: a musical tribute to the songs of shel silverstein" in 2010, and jackyl on their 2012 studio album "best in show". additionally, buck owens and the buckaroos adapted the song as "on the cover of the music city news" on the 1974 album "it's a monster's holiday" and the 1976 album "best of buck owens, volume 6". german comedian mike krüger covered and translated the song with small lyrical changes for his 1978 album "stau mal wieder", changing the title to "auf der hülle mit den rolling stones" ("on the cover with the rolling stones"), lyrics implying he would like to have his photograph as an album cover for the rolling stones. in 1987 dutch band bertus staigerpaip released a parody: "de veurplaat van d'n donald duck" (the cover of the donald duck - the latter having been a highly popular comics magazine in the netherlands for many decades). phish played the song live in concert on february 14, 2003 after learning they would appear on the cover of the march 6, 2003 issue of the magazine. the song has also been covered with the changes to the lyrics and used as social satire and civil protest against alleged corporate malfeasance and landlord abuses as "ode to dark avalonbay". the song was featured in the 2000 film "almost famous". the following is a list of 17th-century lunar eclipses. this list of 250 lunar eclipses was calculated by fred espenak of nasa's goddard space flight center. a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the earth into its umbra (shadow). this can occur only when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned (in "syzygy") exactly, or very closely so, with the earth in the middle. hence, a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon. the type and length of an eclipse depend upon the moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. it is one of several such lists, including the list of 16th-century lunar eclipses, and list of 18th-century lunar eclipses antonio de pereda y salgado ( – january 30, 1678) was a spanish baroque-era painter, best known for his still lifes. pereda was born in valladolid. he was the eldest of three brothers from an artistic family. his father, mother and two brothers were all painters. he was educated in madrid by pedro de las cuevas and was taken under the protective wing of the influential giovanni battista crescenzi. after crescenzi's death in 1635, pereda was expelled from the court and began to take commissions from religious institutions. as well as still lifes and religious paintings, pereda was known for his historical paintings such as the "relief of genoa" (1635) which was painted for the salón de reinos of the buen retiro palace in madrid as part of the same series as velázquez's "surrender of breda". daultana (), is a clan of johiya tribe settled in punjab, pakistan. the members of this tribe are landowners, farmers, politicians, businessmen, government officers. kamenice or kamenicë may refer to: in bosnia and herzegovina: branko miljuš (born 17 august 1960) is a former croatian footballer. he was born in knin, pr croatia, fpr yugoslavia. during his club career he played for nk hajduk split, real valladolid and vitória setúbal. he earned 14 caps for the yugoslavia national football team, and participated in uefa euro 1984. he won a bronze medal playing for yugoslavia in the 1984 summer olympics in los angeles. in his late career, miljuš left yugoslavia few years before the independence of croatia, at the time tension of serbs and croats was rising. see also: list of lunar eclipses, list of 17th-century lunar eclipses, and list of 19th-century lunar eclipses this list was compiled with data calculated by fred espenak of nasa's gsfc. the minister of agriculture was a member of the executive committee of the privy council of northern ireland (cabinet) in the parliament of northern ireland which governed northern ireland from 1921 to 1972. the post was combined with that of the minister of commerce until 1925, and was later vacant for three short periods. "office abolished 1965" jack wesley burnham jr. (born new york, new york, 1931, died 25 february, 2019) was an american writer on art and technology, who taught art history at northwestern university and the university of maryland. he is one of the main forces behind the emergence of systems art in the 1960s. burnham received a bfa from the yale school of art in 1959 and a mfa in 1961. from 1955 until 1965 he worked as a sculptor, often created sculptures that included light. in the 1960s he started teaching art history at northwestern university, and became chairman of their art department. he was a fellow at mit's center for advanced visual studies from 1968 to 1969. in the 1980s he moved to the university of maryland and again chaired the art and art history departments. retiring in the 1990s, burnham lived in hyattsville, maryland, immersed in kabbalah. he suffered from alzheimer's disease in his later life. he moved to connecticut in the early 2010s. jack burnham worked as a writer, and in the 1960s and 1970s made important contributions as an art theorist, critic and curator in the field of systems art. in systems art the concept and ideas of process related systems and systems theory are involved in the work to take precedence over traditional aesthetic object related and material concerns. burnham named systems art in the 1968 artforum article "system esthetics": "he had investigated the effects of science and technology on the sculpture of this century, and saw a dramatic contrast between the handling of the place-oriented "object sculpture" and the extreme mobility of systems sculpture". burnham wrote two books and dozens of articles in magazines like: "art and artists magazine", "arts and society", "artforum" magazine, "arts magazine". his books: > 1. see also: list of lunar eclipses, list of 18th-century lunar eclipses, and list of 20th-century lunar eclipses this list was compiled with data calculated by fred espenak of nasa's gsfc. josip čop (born 14 october 1954) is a former croatian footballer. during his club career he played for nk varteks, nk zagreb, nk hajduk split and sk sturm graz. he won two caps for the yugoslavia national football team, and was a non-playing squad member at euro 84. he began his career in sport management as the secretary general of the football federation of croatia, fifa delegate and uefa delegate, as well as member of several uefa committees (stadium and security committee; delegate panel; venue director panel; european championship committee u 21) and vice president of the uefa european championship committee u 21. from 1996 to 1998 čop served as secretary-general of the croatian football federation. since 2005, he is the secretary-general of the croatian olympic committee, serving his third four-year term. cambiocasa is a european commercial property consultancy company (fiaip associated.) founded by francesco trombiero in 1995. nailed. dead. risen. is the debut album by christian deathcore band impending doom, released in 2007 on facedown records. "nailed dead risen" was tracked, mixed and mastered by christopher eck at eck studios in corona, california. the title for the album is a reference to the way jesus christ was crucified. it is the only album by the band to feature guitarist greg pewthers and drummer andy hegg. they were replaced by cory johnson (ex-sleeping giant) and chad blackwell, respectively. the album features re-recordings of three songs from the band's demo album titled "the sin and doom of godless men". the band even intended to completely re-record that demo into an ep, but due to them getting signed to a label faster than they even expected, they instead recorded this full-length album. professor david leslie linton (12 july 1906 – 11 april 1971), british geographer and geomorphologist, was professor of geography at sheffield and birmingham, best remembered for his work on the landscape development of south-east england with s. w. wooldridge, and on the development of tors. david linton was born in 1906 in new cross, london, the second of three children of parents from northern ireland. he was educated at the nearby haberdashers' aske's hatcham school and king's college london. he received a first class general honours degree in chemistry, physics, and geology in 1926 and a first class special honours degree in geography in 1927. on graduation linton initially worked at king's as demonstrator in geology, taking over from s.w.wooldridge (later the first professor of geography at king's), who had recently completed his doctorate. in 1929 linton moved to edinburgh university. he nevertheless continued to collaborate with wooldridge on a number of publications on the geology and geomorphology of south-east england during the 1930s, culminating in "structure, surface and drainage in south-east england" (1939, republished 1955). during world war ii linton carried out photo reconnaissance with the royal air force volunteer reserve, later publishing "the interpretation of air photographs" (1947). following the war he was appointed professor of geography at sheffield university in 1945. in 1958 he became professor at birmingham university, where he remained until his death in 1971. much of his published post-war work was on the geomorphology of scotland, including a series of papers on river capture. he identified the importance of glacial breaching of main watersheds (divides), and recognised that this process had been more intense in the west, with glacial dissection of the mountains declining eastwards (although his synthesis of this was published posthumously by keith clayton, see publications). concerned with denudation chronology (the reconstruction of long-term landform history), he became involved with study of the origin of tors in scotland, on dartmoor, the pennines and south africa. his view was that the british tors were a product of deep chemical weathering under a tropical climate in the tertiary, exposed by erosion in the pleistocene. this contrasted sharply with the views of others that tors are essentially arctic features produced by periglacial processes. this was part of his wider view of the importance of pre-glacial events and forms. however his attribution of the prevailing eastward flow of the major rivers of scotland to emergence and tilted uplift of a fresh chalk seabed in the early tertiary was dismissed in the phd studies of french geomorphologist alain godard (later professor at paris). at a meeting in sheffield (with wooldridge and others) in 1958, he was a founder member of what became the british geomorphological research group, which he chaired in 1961. linton was honorary editor of "geography" (1947–1965) and president of section e of the british association for the advancement of science (1957), the institute of british geographers (1962) and the geographical association (1964). linton married vera tebbs in 1929. they had three sons and a daughter. he was a devoted family man, an able artist and musician. though shy he was highly regarded as a lecturer and writer. he could be arrogant and disinclined to accept opposition, but was also capable of kindness. he died of cancer at the queen elizabeth hospital, edgbaston, birmingham in 1971. like wooldridge, linton was a fieldworker whose approach has been superseded by the study of processes and quantitative analysis. their major work on the development of south-east england has been shown to be based on too simplistic a view of tectonic history. it nonetheless remains as an enduring monument to one of the most distinctive phases of british geomorphology. the david linton award of the british society for geomorphology (which incorporates the british geomorphological research group) is given to a geomorphologist who has made a leading contribution to the discipline over a sustained period. among many notable recipients have been ralph a. bagnold, stanley a. schumm, richard chorley, luna leopold, eric h. brown, michael j. kirkby, g.h. dury, cuchlaine a.m. king, denys brunsden, m. gordon wolman, j.b. thornes, ken gregory, david sugden and desmond walling. linton's notebooks are held by king's college archives. in 1943, linton received the murchison award from the royal geographical society. he was elected as a member of the leopoldina in 1961. in 1971 he was appointed an honorary fellow of king's college london. tyrwhitt is an english language surname. it may refer to: frederic h. dustin, phd (january 12, 1930 – may 5, 2018) was an american professor, author, businessman and

petrographic and chemical characteristics similar to the island arc older granitoids of the arabian-nubian shield. they have a batholitic dimension and occur as composite plutons intruding the metasediments and the metavolcanics, while the younger granites intrude them. petrographically, the rocks are homogeneous, light to dark grey and medium- to coarse-grained. they consist of quartz monzodiorite, tonalite and granodiorite. plagioclase (an21-32), quartz, k-feldspar, hornblende and biotite represent the essential minerals. accessory minerals are apatite and fe-ti oxides. whole rock and mineral chemistry indicate that the um adawi older granites are calc-alkaline with metaluminous signature. they were emplaced in a compressional regime in an arc tectonic setting within a crust of about 30 km thickness. the rare earth element patterns of these granites suggest that they were subduction related supporting the obtained magmatic affinity and the tectonic setting. m. g. shahien and

firms based in the country. established in 1832, the group, which also operated in mainland denmark, encompassed retail, corporate and investment banking activities as well as real estate brokerage. the company was nationalised by denmark in october 2010 after becoming insolvent, with its danish retail banking operations being sold later in the year to the regional bank sparekassen lolland. eik was established in 1832 as a savings bank. in 1992 it was transferred into a guarantor savings bank, and in 2002, it was converted to a public limited company. on 11 july 2007, it was listed on the icelandic and danish stock exchanges as eik banki p/f. in denmark, eik banki founded a subsidiary bank, eik bank danmark a/s. in 2007, eik bank danmark acquired the swedish skandiabanken branch in denmark. skandiabanken is the leading danish internet bank in denmark, with around 120,000 customers. skandiabanken was merged into eik bank danmark in december 2007. in the same month eik bank acquired the faroese operations of kaupthing bank. the company and its danish subsidiary were taken over by the danish banking regulator in october 2010 after failing to meet solvency requirements set by the financial supervisory authority. trading in the company's shares and bonds was suspended on the news, and eik banki's listing on the nasdaq omx iceland exchange was subsequently cancelled. subsequently 70% of the bank's shares were sold to tórshavn based "tf holding" for dkk 572 million. the bank later became betri bank. three of eik's managers were fined dkk 150 million in 2019. the retail banking operations of the company in mainland denmark (eik bank danmark a/s) were sold by the state to the regional bank sparekassen lolland for dkk 365 million on 17 december 2010. after the sale of eik banki's danish retail banking operations in december 2010, the company's principal remaining businesses are a retail and commercial banking network in the faroe islands and ownership of the leading faroese real estate brokerage company, inni p/f. riedern am wald is an "ortsteil" in the waldshut district of baden-württemberg, germany. notable people from the area include artist heinrich ernst kromer and pope benedict xvi's personal secretary, msgr. georg gänswein. march 19, 2008 being the fifth anniversary of the united states 2003 invasion of iraq and in protest and demonstration in opposition to the war in iraq, anti-war protests were held throughout the world including a series of autonomous actions in the united states' capitol, washington, d.c. in london, sydney, australia and the scottish city of glasgow with the later three being organized by the uk-based stop the war coalition. actions included demonstrations at government buildings and landmarks, protests at military installations and student-led street blockades. the protests were notable, in part, for mostly replacing mass marches with civil disobedience – including religious-focused protests – and for utilizing new technologies to both coordinate actions and interface with traditional print and broadcast media. the 19th itself was a wednesday so protests took place prior to, on the day of and after the actual anniversary. the numbers of protesters was significantly smaller than the original protests held the day after the invasion of iraq had begun when thousands of protesters and many large demonstrations were held around the world in opposition to the war. amongst the possible reasons are protester "fatigue", the timing of events, poor weather in some cities and that many protest actions are often ignored by the media even if the number of attendees is in the thousands. general apathy towards a war that most americans feel little connection to as well as general decline in media coverage may have also led to lower turnout. according to a study conducted by the project for excellence in journalism, war coverage in television, newspaper and internet stories fell from 23% during the first ten weeks of 2007 to 3% during the same period in 2008. answer coalition is largely accredited with being responsible for many of the recent united states-based anti-war protests. formed in the wake of the september 11th attacks, answer has since helped to organize many of the largest anti-war demonstrations in the united states, including demonstrations of hundreds of thousands against the iraq war. though its national headquarters are in washington, d.c., where it organizes its national antiwar demonstrations, the coalition's influence is seen as being perhaps strongest in san francisco, and increasingly, in los angeles. answer has faced criticism from other anti-war groups for its affiliations as well as its tactics at demonstrations as well as charges of antisemitic sentiments expressed by some demonstrators at its protests. michael albert and stephen r. shalom writing in "z" argue that most people at a "...demonstration will in fact be unaware of exactly who said what and whether any particular speaker omitted this or that point." the longer-term effects of these concerns may also play into declining numbers at protest events. another perspective was offered at the kansas city, missouri vigil where many of the attendees had previously taken part in protests of the vietnam war, the only other united states war that has had more than five years of protests. one person drew a comparison noting a "fundamental misconception" with many of the protesters, "they're against it not because it was wrong," stated dave pack, chair of the peaceworks board of directors, "but because it wasn't going the way they wanted it to." he went on to say that he felt some didn't feel the war was wrong to begin with but they now feel the war is wrong. a cnn-opinion research poll released march 19 found 32 percent of americans support the conflict while 61 percent said they want the next president to remove most u.s. troops within a few months of taking office. in washington, d.c. the protests on march 19 were the culmination of other smaller demonstrations and events which took place during the weeks leading up to the five-year anniversary of the iraq war. for example, on march 7, several churches in the city held services to pray for the safety of u.s. troops and an end to the war. in the afternoon the churchgoers marched to the hart senate office building with the intention of asking u.s. senators to discontinue u.s.-funded terrorism. at least forty of the protesters were arrested as they entered the building and began praying for peace. united for peace and justice (ufpj), a coalition of more than 1,300 international and u.s.-based organizations opposed to what they describe as "our government's policy of permanent warfare and empire-building" organized the march 19 actions. the events – involving up to 1000 people – took place throughout the downtown with protesters marching on 12th street to the internal revenue service (irs) building on constitution avenue declaring that they do not want any more tax money being used to wage war. led, in part, by the war resisters league and code pink, 31 people were arrested for crossing police lines at the irs and blocking three entrances. demonstrators also gathered in front of institutions which profit from the war, such as the american petroleum institute – where they staged a sit-in blocking traffic – and at military recruitment offices. the protesters, including war veterans, demanded the arrests of president george w. bush, vice president dick cheney and secretary of state condoleezza rice as war criminals. students for a democratic society protesters marched up and down k street as part of their "funk the war" protest to "put on the map all the people who profited from the war". other protesters hurled balloons full of red paint at a military recruiting station and smeared it on buildings of defense contractors bechtel and lockheed martin. many protesters marched to beating drums, and chanted, ""no blood for oil!"" traffic in many areas was disrupted, and interruptions at the irs were evident as workers inside were seen peering out windows at the protesters. at least thirty demonstrators were arrested around the irs headquarters for crossing a police barricade. two blocks from the whitehouse, in mcpherson square, over two hundred protesters declared victory in shutting down traffic with some engaging the police while others chained their hands together inside school desks while demanding cuts in war spending and more money for education. according to a congressional budget office (cbo) report published in october 2007, the u.s. war in iraq could cost taxpayers $1.9 trillion by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money. one of the more visible groups, code pink, opted not to do a large protest in the capitol as the timing was just before the easter break and the united states congress would not be in session, however local chapters had plans to follow members of congress and protest in smaller towns across the country. the washington d.c. chapter did push a pink bed on wheels down the street, urging americans to "wake up". members of the "granny peace brigade" delivered hand-knitted "stump socks" – "meant to keep the ends of amputated limbs warm" – to the department of veterans affairs. a "march of the dead" demonstration was staged near the women in military service for america memorial in arlington national cemetery. outside the national archives and records administration protesters laid a large cloth on the ground with the preamble to the united states constitution forcing those entering the building to walk over the text. nearby a masked man in orange prison clothing kneeled with his hands tied behind his back while wearing a sign – "no torture, no secret prisons, no detention without legal process," referring to contentious issues tied to the united states' treatment of prisoners. outside the white house protesters acted out a prisoner, dressed in an orange guantanamo captives' uniform – which signifies the prisoner has been labeled "non-compliant" – being waterboarded. in chicago, illinois, thousands of protesters marched through the chicago loop and along michigan avenue to demand an end to the iraq war. members of a group, iraq veterans against the war (ivaw), were among the marchers. one announced, "i'm letting the nation know that the troops are against the war, and that there's a whole culture of dissent and we're letting the nation know that exists." on 23 march, easter sunday, at the holy name cathedral in chicago, a group of anti-war demonstrators – calling themselves catholic schoolgirls against the war – stood up during the homily (sermon) and "decried the deaths of 4,000 u.s. soldiers and thousands of iraqi citizens" declaring "even the pope calls for peace!" security guards ushered the protesters out as the demonstrators splattered themselves with stage blood getting some on nearby worshipers, six were subsequently arrested by police. after the service a cardinal lamented the protests but affirmed the catholic church's position against u.s.-led warfare in iraq. both pope benedict xvi and the united states conference of catholic bishops have opposed the iraq war since its inception, and the pope used his easter homily to renew calls for an iraq resolution to "safeguard peace and the common good." in los angeles, california thousands of people, led by veterans from various conflicts, holding coffins draped with the us flag marched down hollywood boulevard denouncing george w. bush, several california politicians and actors were expected for the final part of the march on sunset boulevard. other events were planned for beverly hills, echo park, west los angeles, north hollywood, pasadena, culver city and malibu. in san francisco, california protests occurred throughout the day and in different parts of the city with up to 150 people arrested for misdemeanors such as trespassing, resisting arrest and blocking an intersection. part of the success of the group coordinating named direct action was due to utilizing smart mob technologies including text messaging, google maps, live video-feeds and internet radio updates. in contrast to the first-day protests in 2003 when the city was effectively shut down in many ways, the protests were focussed on specific targets and conveying messages – "there's little point in barricading the bay bridge in a city where most people are against the war anyway." in the morning, a group of 500 worked their way through the morning commute effectively tying-up traffic for hours as the police had to block, move and re-block streets and busses for the procession. the federal reserve bank and chevron corporation were also targeted with actions and saw arrests. starting around noon and lasting for several hours the most "dramatic" protests were a die-in – again blocking the main traffic artery, market street – directly in front of california senator dianne feinstein's office. feinstein supported the iraq war resolution and subsequent supplemental appropriations bills although she has stated she was deceived by the bush administration about the weapons of mass destruction. as police arrested dozens of protesters more would take their place. in the evening 7000 marched and rallied in front of san francisco city hall hearing speeches including assemblywoman carole migden. although mostly peaceful some police were pelted with glass christmas ornaments filled with paint. in berkeley, california, demonstrators gathered for a rally then marched on a military recruiting office which has been part of an ongoing military recruiting controversy and declared that the iraq war is ""unjust"", and that marine recruiters were ""unwelcome intruders"" in the city. in new york city autonomous events happened throughout the day, at one protest women "sang and counted the war dead" at the times square military recruiting station which was recently the target of a bomb. outside the new york stock exchange three groups affiliated with the peace action coalition were arrested for blocking traffic and the checkpoints for the stock exchange. carrying "blood-splattered" signs displaying the record profits of companies – like boeing, general dynamics and halliburton – they were trying to make the connection between those who they said were war profiteering and those who are prosecuting the war. smaller events happened throughout the united states from somber vigils to the more boisterous; in frankfort, kentucky and greenville, south carolina vigils were held – in greenville's piazza bergamo a candle was lit for each u.s. soldier killed. in albany, new york protesters held a rally outside the capitol. in des moines, iowa, protesters stood in the hallway outside recruiting offices at the armed forces career center with signs such as "enlist now pay later - the cost is too great - troops home now". in trenton, new jersey about 75 people, including family members of us soldiers killed protested outside the statehouse. in burlington, vermont university of vermont students protested outside general dynamics' weapons development and design facility with banners denouncing war profiteering and called on their state-funded school to divest in the defense contractor. in miami, florida protesters dressed in black laid flowers at the united states southern command during the morning rush hour. protesters blocked the entrance of a des moines, iowa military recruiting center with two getting arrested. in downtown portland, oregon, demonstrators chanted "end the silence, stop the violence", while others marched to blaring horns and beating drums. at one point police used pepper spray on unruly protesters. a group of several dozen of the marchers left the confrontation and boarded a light rail train to continue the protests at a military recruiting station. police on motorcycles and police in riot gear followed the demonstrators to the rail station at which point one of the protesters declared "sorry, no room for bikes" as officers watched the demonstrators leave. in madison, wisconsin, protesters and peace activists were reading the names of casualties of the iraq war outside a recruiting station when three of them went inside to engage the recruiters in dialog. they were arrested but the charges later dropped. as part of their defense they stated "they were not disruptive and were in a government office on public property paid for by taxpayers, in which they had a right to be." in baltimore, maryland dozens of silent protesters held sign and stood behind a row of boots and other footwear which symbolized "the loss of life, among maryland troops and iraqi civilians, during the war in iraq". sponsored by the american friends service committee, a quaker social justice and peace organization, and the baltimore area coalition for truth in recruiting they tried to add a visual representation of the loss of life. in december 2007, president bush put the iraq war death toll among iraqi citizens at about 30,000. most estimates are much higher, for example, in january 2008 the iraqi health minister, dr salih al-hasnawi, reported the results of the "iraq family health survey" – carried out for the world health organization – that estimated 151,000 violence-related iraqi deaths from march 2003 through june 2006. the results were published in the new england journal of medicine. greece and ellinikí radiofonía tileórasi (ert) hosted a national selection with the winner being chosen an "expert" jury. anna vissi was chosen with "autostop" and placed 13th at eurovision. the final took place on 10 march 1980 at the ert tv studios in peania and was hosted by vasilis tsivilikas. the winning song was chosen by a jury of people who awarded each song a mark out of ten. "autostop" was the third performed that night (following turkey's ajda pekkan with "pet'r oil" and preceding luxembourg's sophie & magaly with "papa pingouin"). at the close of voting, it had received 30 points, placing 13th in a field of 19. it was succeeded as greek representative at the 1981 contest by yiannis dimitras with "fegari kalokerino". vasily grigorievich artemyev () (born 24 july 1987) is a russian rugby union footballer. he plays as wing or full back. artemyev's representative honours include leinster schools, u19s and u20s, irish schools & irish u19s. vasily came to blackrock college school from russia and won schools junior cup and senior cup medals there. he played for the successful irish universities side in 2007. vasily played for a number of years in university college dublin for their rugby team whilst studying law under the stewardship of john mcclean and bobby byrne. vasily won the league and metro cup with ucd, and was also part of the intervarsity team which won the conroy cup in 2006 and 2007. returning to his native moscow (zelenograd) in 2008, he joined professional club vva and began representing russia. vasily signed for aviva premiership side northampton saints for the 2011-2012 season, joining them after the conclusion of the 2011 world cup. on his début for the club he scored a hat-trick in the lv= cup victory over saracens, before scoring two tries in his premiership debut against newcastle falcons. he has 83 caps for russia, since 2009, with 30 tries scored, 150 points on aggregate. he played four games at the 2011 rugby world cup, scoring a try against ireland in a pool game. alexander bichkov (known as russia's rambo) was a man who lived alone in a russian forest for nearly 20 years. bichkov was known for stealing from and "terrorizing" locals, and burning down nearby houses. upon his death a search of his home revealed a large amount of weaponry and other survival supplies. he was shot to death by police on 14 march 2008, following a manhunt in which two law enforcement agents were injured. according to russian authorities bichkov came from a family of criminals who had been sent to kostroma oblast in the 1940s. bichkov worked in the forestry industry until his disappearance. following the dissolution of the soviet union, bichkov left his home and family to avoid having to pay alimony payments to his ex-wife. in 1997 he was presumed dead, and declared as such by his family. he lived in the forest within a nature reserve, near kologriv, building his own camps at a former forestry station, eating animals he could hunt locally. bichkov only left the forest in the summertime when he could not easily be tracked back to his camp by footprints in the snow. bichkov was feared by local police following an incident where he kidnapped a police officer who was hunting nearby, and held him at gunpoint. after some time bichkov released the police officer and fled the scene. bichkov burned down 30 "holiday homes" that were owned by wealthy moscow residents. although the police did not investigate, they did name him "russia's rambo", based on the title character from the rambo film series. bichkov had an "arsenal" of weapons at his camp, and numerous animal traps, and wilderness survival books. parents in the area made their children walk to school with dogs for protection from bichkov. at one point bichkov uses animal traps to capture three government officials, threatening their life if they returned to the area. on 14 march 2008 bichkov was shot dead by a group on a manhunt orchestrated by the department of natural reserves. the group was composed of six police "specialists" (not local to the kologriv area), some of whom were veterans of the afghan war, and four park rangers. they hunted him down on snowmobiles in an attempt to arrest him. bichkov, who was armed, wounded two members of the posse when he ambushed them. after setting his house on fire, bichkov was shot dead by a sniper. german warmblood may refer generally to any of the various warmblood horses of germany, or more specifically to a warmblood registered with the nationwide german horse breeding society (zfdp). beneath the umbrella term "german warmblood" are several regional variations on a singular standard; individual german warmblood types are not necessarily considered "breeds", because they have an open stud book and freely exchange genetic material between each other, with other warmblood types, with anglo-arabians, and with breeds like the thoroughbred, arabian, and trakehner. (the trakehner, while a warmblood horse from germany, has a closed stud book and thus, like the thoroughbred and arabian, is considered a "true" breed.) each of the states of germany has its own local warmblood breeding society, or sometimes more than one. lower saxony is the domain of the oldenburg and hanoverian breeds, the latter being closely linked to the state stud of celle. formerly, the east frisian was also bred in that part of lower saxony, however most of the breeding stock was absorbed into the hanoverian gene pool after the second world war. more recently, the hessen horse was also made into an extension of the hanoverian herdbook. the northernmost region of schleswig-holstein has the holsteiner, while mecklenburg-vorpommern has the mecklenburger. north rhine-westphalia traditionally breeds both the westphalian and rhinelander, which populate the state stud of warendorf and which work in close cooperation. historically, each of the southern states had a very distinct population: rhineland-palatinate was a center for the breeding of elegant anglo-arabian riding horses, baden-württemberg bred arabians and arab-influenced riding horses at the state stud of marbach, and bavaria was home to the ancient heavy warmblood rottaler. of late, these three regions have combined their breeding and marketing efforts, so the modern bavarian warmblood, württemberger, and zweibrücker are increasingly indistinguishable. similarly, the eastern states of berlin-brandenburg, saxony-anhalt, saxony, and thuringia have begun hosting a common stallion inspection. each of these states has had its own flavor of warmblood, though perhaps the brandenburger was best known. kisn (96.7 fm, "96.7 kiss fm") is a radio station licensed to serve belgrade, montana. the station is owned by townsquare media, licensed to gap broadcasting bozeman license, llc. it airs a top 40 (chr) music format. all townsquare media bozeman studios are located at 125 west mendenhall street, downtown bozeman. kxlb, kmms-fm, kzmy, and kisn all share a transmitter site on green mountain, east of bozeman. the station was assigned the kisn call letters by the federal communications commission on january 14, 2004. in february 2008, colorado-based gapwest broadcasting completed the acquisition of 57 radio stations in 13 markets in the pacific northwest-rocky mountain region from clear channel communications. the deal, valued at a reported $74 million, included six bozeman stations, seven in missoula and five in billings. other stations in the deal are located in shelby, montana, and in casper and cheyenne, wyoming, plus pocatello and twin falls, idaho, and yakima, washington. gapwest was folded into townsquare media on august 13, 2010. 96.7 started out as the easy listening station for southwest montana. by 1990 it took the moniker 96 the sky, montana's soft rock. throughout the next ten years the sky would move towards a chr format. it first moved towards hot ac in 1998. through the next years the sky moved towards adult top 40 with a chr format consisting of destiny's child, britney spears and creed, n'sync and the backstreet boys. by 2002 it became a full blown top 40 under the all hit 96 the sky moniker. in 2004 the callsign changed to kisn, the callsign used to be that of an adult top 40 radio station in salt lake city. that frequency is now kzht also a top 40 station owned by the same company until iheartmedia (clear channel radio) spun off its radio stations in small town markets with bozeman being one of them. for much of the 2000s kiss fm was known for mixing in hard rock since bozeman did not have an active rock outlet. they also have thrown in local artists especially those in the hip hop genre. máel dóid mac suibni (died 653) was a king of

of the united states, which consists of youth challenge academies (known as yca's) in each participating state. the stated mission of the youth challenge program is "to intervene in and reclaim the lives of at-risk youth to produce program graduates with the values, skills, education and self-discipline necessary to succeed as adults." the program accepts 16- to 18-year-old male and female high school dropouts who are drug-free and not in trouble with the law. the program lasts for 17½ months. the first 5½ months are part of the quasi-military residential phase. the last 12 months are part of the post-residential phase. most participants will earn their ged or a high school diploma by the end of their residential phase. the program is one of many programs administered by the national guard bureau that address leadership, life skills, and physical training. the following is a list of states who participate in the youth challenge program. some states have multiple campuses; for example, georgia has a yca at both ft. stewart and ft. gordon, but both fall under the same state director. "new way (to light up an old flame)" is a song co-written and recorded by american country music artist joe diffie. it was released in june 1991 as the fourth and final single from his debut album "a thousand winding roads". the song peaked at number 2 on the hot country singles & tracks (now hot country songs) chart. the song was written by diffie and lonnie wilson. the northwest area health education center (northwest ahec) of wake forest school of medicine is one of nine regional area health education centers (ahecs) of the north carolina area health education centers program. northwest ahec is an educational outreach center and training program designed to better the health of the public in its 17-county region. it does this by working to increase the number of health and human service professionals, while also trying to improve their representation throughout the region and their skill quality—especially those who have chosen to work in primary care settings (pediatrics, obstetrics & gynecology, internal medicine, and family medicine)—through several diverse community groups and partnerships with educational institutions (from primary to post-graduate schools). northwest ahec works toward its mission by providing programs and services through its five core components: health careers, diversity and recruitment; health sciences student support; graduate medical education and patient services; continuing education activities and services; and information and library services. northwest ahec has four locations (main office and three regional bases) to meet the needs of its constituents: the main office is at wake forest school of medicine in winston-salem, north carolina; the regional bases are catawba valley medical center in hickory, rowan regional medical center in rowan county and watauga medical center (part of the appalachian regional healthcare system) in watauga county. each of the locations offers library services and training room/meeting facilities. these 17 north carolina counties are served by northwest ahec: alexander, alleghany, ashe, avery, burke, caldwell, catawba, davidson, davie, forsyth, iredell, rowan, stokes, surry, watauga, wilkes and yadkin. northwest ahec continuing education activities and services are facilitated in physical classrooms and meeting venues, video conferencing centers, and virtually though real time event streaming and online courseware. the nc ahec program began in 1972 with federal funding and is administered by the university of north carolina school of medicine. it is a part of the national ahec program. in 1974, with funding from the general assembly, it became a statewide program. today, nine regional ahecs comprise the system and are supported primarily by state and local funds. the nine ahec regions in north carolina are: mountain, northwest, charlotte, greensboro, southern, wake, south east, area l and eastern. this list was compiled with data calculated by fred espenak of nasa's gsfc. diane bellemare (born october 13, 1949) is a canadian economist and politician from quebec, who was appointed to the senate of canada on september 6, 2012. from september 2003 to april 2007, she held executive jobs with the "conseil du patronat du québec", including senior vice-president and chief economist from april 2006 to april 2007. bellemare was appointed to the senate on the advice of prime minister stephen harper and sat as a member of the conservative party of canada caucus until march 2016 when she resigned to sit as an independent. in may 2016, she was appointed deputy government representative to the senate by government representative peter harder. on november 14, 2019, on the same day that the senate liberal caucus dissolved and was succeeded by the progressive senate group, senator bellemare left her position and joined the isg. uss "john p. kennedy", the former wooden sailing ship "sea nymph", was a supply ship of the us navy. she was purchased at new york city in 1853 to participate in an expedition to the north pacific ocean to explore for commercial and naval purposes waters in the area of the bering straits and the china seas, which were "frequented by american whale ships and trading vessels in their routes between the united states and china." the expedition, under commander cadwalader ringgold, besides supply ship "john p. kennedy", consisted of sloop-of-war (flagship), brig , schooner , and bark . "john p. kennedy" departed new york 21 june 1853 and arrived cape of good hope 10 september. she departed cape of good hope 9 november with the expedition and arrived batavia, java, the day after christmas. she took active part in surveying operations in indonesian waters until putting in at singapore 4 april 1854 en route to hong kong where she arrived 25 may for repairs. in august the high cost of placing her in good condition prompted lieutenant john rodgers, who had succeeded commander ringgold in command, to turn "john p. kennedy" over to the east indies squadron to become a guard ship at the american factory, canton, china. the ship stood out of hong kong 20 august and arrived at her new station 2 days later. after a violent storm 23 july 1855, "john p. kennedy" assisted american ship "isabella catana" in getting afloat; and she aided survivors of a chinese man-of-war after the ship caught fire and blew up 6 september. she departed canton 20 october in tow of , arriving hong kong the next day. she decommissioned there 31 october and was sold in november 1855. cjaw-fm is a canadian radio station broadcasting at 103.9 fm in moose jaw, saskatchewan with an adult contemporary/hot adult contemporary format branded as mix 103.9 fm. the station is owned by golden west broadcasting. cjaw's studios are located at 1704 main street north along with sister stations cilg-fm and chab. the station received approval by the crtc in 2006. the station signed-on and broadcasting commenced on tuesday april 22, 2008 at 10:39 a.m. ursula merkin (1919–2006) was a german-born american philanthropist. she was born in frankfurt, germany to isaac breuer, a noted german rabbi, as ursula (sara) breuer. in 1933, at the age of fourteen, she left germany with her family for palestine. she remained there with her father, to whom she was very close, until his death in jerusalem in 1946, at the age of 63. shortly thereafter, she emigrated to the united states, where she found a teaching position at a jewish girls' school in paterson, new jersey. in 1950 she met and married hermann merkin, a german-jewish businessman, who was twelve years her senior. they had six children and were married for almost fifty years until his death in 1999 at the age of 91. ursula and hermann merkin sponsored the new york venue merkin concert hall and were involved in a variety of yeshiva university functions as well as with other jewish philanthropies. they were also deeply devoted to fifth avenue synagogue, of which hermann merkin was the founding president. ursula breuer merkin was a granddaughter of solomon breuer, a great-granddaughter of samson raphael hirsch, a great-granddaughter of eliezer liepman philip prins, and mother of writer daphne merkin and philanthropist j. ezra merkin. her brothers were jacob breuer, and mordechai breuer. she was best known for her involvement with reuth, an israeli charity for the elderly. she maintained a strong tie to, and a great love for, the holy land until her death in 2006. she was known by most as "ullah." she also wrote a novel, borrowed lands, which was published by rubin mass ltd. in 2000 in a second revised edition. she died in new york city at the age of 86 after a bout with lung cancer. marion county regional airport is a county-owned public-use airport in marion county, arkansas, united states. it is located one nautical mile (2 km) north of the central business district of flippin, arkansas. this airport is included in the faa's national plan of integrated airport systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a "general aviation" airport. marion county regional airport covers an area of 80 acres (32 ha) at an elevation of 719 feet (219 m) above mean sea level. it has one runway designated 4/22 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,000 by 75 feet (1,524 x 23 m). for the 12-month period ending april 30, 2011, the airport had 14,800 aircraft operations, an average of 40 per day: 92% general aviation, 7% air taxi, and 1% military. at that time there were 23 aircraft based at this airport: 70% single-engine, 26% multi-engine, and 4% ultralight. mary 'betty' newmarsh woolcock née ladler (1914–2004) was an english artist and illustrator, most notable for her illustrations in books written by enid blyton. betty ladler was born in hendon, middlesex in 1914. she was a prolific illustrator predominantly of children's books for the publisher blackie & son ltd. most of her life was spent in england but she travelled extensively and drew images taken from life in the middle and far east and the swiss alps. her home was in the village of coombe, near wooton under edge, south gloucestershire where she died in 2004. she exhibited "saloon bar" at the royal academy in 1944, "flower study" in 1945 and "flowers in sunlight" in 1947. ca. lykkelig was a norwegian sitcom that was broadcast on tv 2. the series was about three more or less successful couples in their 30s. the cast consisted of three couples: ivar nergaard as aksel and linn skåber as liv;

intersection of county roads 361 and 357. some of the earliest settlers in sandy hills were captain joseph dornstin, and charles rowley, the father of the local outlaw bob rowley. françois-marie treyve (1847–1906) was a french landscape gardener. treyve originated from trévoux. he was trained by his father-in-law, joseph marie. in the 1880s he was appointed inspector of parks and gardens of vichy. he took over from his father-in-law at moulins in 1881 and set up the landscape gardening firm établissements treyve-marie, in which he in turned trained his sons, joseph and françois. he transformed the old park at vichy and created the "parc des célestins". he was also the creator of many private parks across the auvergne region, including those at: he was summoned to the russian court in 1891, from where he received horticultural commissions until 1896. in 1894 he published ""un voyage horticole au caucase"" ("a horticultural journey to the caucasus"). treyve was inspired by and indebted to the work of the great landscape gardener of the previous generation, paul de lavenne, comte de choulot. the old canadian national rail yard in edmonton was once the centre of economic activity in that city. its redevelopment has fundamentally altered the appearance of the city. the former yard occupied a long, narrow strip from 103 avenue to 105 avenue north to south and from 101 street to 116 street east and west. edmonton's transition from a frontier outpost to a railway town was delayed because of the canadian pacific railway's decision in the 1880s to shift the route of its planned main winnipeg–vancouver line south through calgary. it was further hampered when in 1891 the planned calgary and edmonton railway choose to build its terminus south of the north saskatchewan river, in what soon became the rival settlement of strathcona. in 1903, the canadian northern railway opened a short spur across the low level bridge, linking edmonton with strathcona, but edmonton's major introduction to the rail age came in 1905 when the cnor's main transcontinental line reached it from winnipeg. the cnor's station was located at what is now 104 avenue and 101 street, and its yard to the west. around this yard, edmonton's warehouse district developed. in response, the canadian pacific extended its c&e line over the river and expanded its station in strathcona. in 1910, the cnor station began accepting trains from the grand trunk pacific railway (gtpr) which had also reached edmonton. the cnor and gtpr had rival plans to link edmonton to the pacific coast, cnor at vancouver and gtpr at prince rupert, british columbia. the companies were not able turn a profit during the lean years of the great war, and by 1919 both had been nationalized by the federal government and made part of canadian national railways (cnr). as a major centre for the cnr, edmonton became one of the most important rail hubs in canada. in 1928, a new station was opened at 101 street and 104 avenue, and was expanded in 1948. in 1964, it was demolished to make way for edmonton's first skyscraper, the canadian national tower. in 1968, cn announced plans to build a massive "pylon" on the site, but this was never acted on. the yards functioned until 1988, and the last freight sheds were demolished in 1996. since the early 1990s the area has seen increasing redevelopment. cn donated some of the land to grant macewan community college for its new campus, and some of it was taken by the government-owned canada lands company for private sale. the former yards are now () almost completely covered with new buildings, and redevelopment has spread into the former warehouse and industrial areas that once lined the tracks. from east to west the buildings now on the former rail yards are: a scientific society, the quaternion society was an "international association for promoting the study of quaternions and allied systems of mathematics". at its peak it consisted of about 60 mathematicians spread throughout the academic world that were experimenting with quaternions and other hypercomplex number systems. the guiding light was alexander macfarlane who served as its secretary initially, and became president in 1909. the association published a "bibliography" in 1904 and a "bulletin" (annual report) from 1900 to 1913. the "bulletin" became a review journal for topics in vector analysis and abstract algebra such as the theory of equipollence. the mathematical work reviewed pertained largely to matrices and linear algebra as the methods were in rapid development at the time. in 1895, professor p. molenbroek of the hague, holland, and shinkichi kimura studying at yale put out a call for scholars to form the society in widely circulated journals: nature, science, and the bulletin of the american mathematical society. giuseppe peano also announced the society formation in his "rivista di matematica". the call to form an association was encouraged by macfarlane in 1896: in 1897 the british association met in toronto where vector products were discussed: a system of national secretaries was announced in the ams bulletin in 1899: alexander mcaulay for australasia, victor schlegel for germany, joly for great britain and ireland, giuseppe peano for italy, kimura for japan, aleksandr kotelnikov for russia, f. kraft for switzerland, and arthur stafford hathaway for the usa. for france the national secretary was paul genty, an engineer with the division of ponts et chaussees, and a quaternion collaborator with charles-ange laisant, author of "methode des quaterniones" (1881). victor schlegel reported on the new institution in the monatshefte für mathematik. when the society was organized in 1899, peter guthrie tait was chosen as president, but he declined for reasons of poor health. the first president was robert stawell ball and alexander macfarlane served as secretary and treasurer. in 1905 charles jasper joly took over as president and l. van elfrinkhof as treasurer while macfarlane continued as secretary. in 1909 macfarlane became president, james byrnie shaw became secretary, and van elfrinkhof continued as treasurer. the next year macfarlane and shaw continued in their posts while macfarlane also absorbed the office of treasurer. when macfarlane died in 1913 after nearly completing the issue of the bulletin, shaw completed it and wound up the association. the rules state that the president had the power of veto. the "bulletin of the association promoting the study of quaternions and allied systems of mathematics" was issued nine times under the editorship of alexander macfarlane. every issue listed the officers of the association, governing council, rules, members, and a financial statement from the treasurer. today hathitrust provides access to these publications that are mainly of historical interest: published in 1904 at dublin, cradle of quaternions, the 86 page "bibliography of quaternions and allied systems of mathematics" cited some one thousand references. the publication set a professional standard; for instance the "manual of quaternions" (1905) of joly has no bibliography beyond citation of macfarlane. furthermore, in 1967 when m.j. crowe published "a history of vector analysis", he wrote in the preface (page ix) : every year more papers and books appeared that were of interest to association members so it was necessary to update the "bibliography" with supplements in the "bulletin". the categories used to group the items in the supplements give a sense of the changing focus of the association: in 1913 macfarlane died, and as related by dirk struik, the society "became a victim of the first world war". james byrnie shaw, the surviving officer, wrote 50 book notices for american mathematical publications. the final article review in the "bulletin" was the wilson and lewis algebra of four-dimensional space written by j. b. shaw. he summarizes, the article reviewed was "the space-time manifold of relativity, the non-euclidean geometry of mechanics, and electromagnetics". however, when the textbook "the theory of relativity" by ludwik silberstein in 1914 was made available as an english understanding of minkowski space, the algebra of biquaternions was applied, but without references to the british background or macfarlane or other quaternionists of the society. the language of quaternions had become international, providing content to set theory and expanded mathematical notation, and expressing mathematical physics. versus cancer was an annual concert, reportedly then the largest annual charity concert in the united kingdom. it raised money predominantly for cancer hospital christie hospital in manchester to assist research for effective alternative treatments but acted more as a blanket charity aiming to help fund hospitals or organisations that may require assistance. in 2005 "manchester versus cancer" was founded by andy rourke (bass player from the smiths), nova rehman his ex-manager, tom smetham a former itv granada television producer and stephen chapman a former itv news journalist. it is now known as versus cancer. it was set up as a response by andy and nova to nova's sister nina and his father sheik abdur both being diagnosed with bowel cancer and the first two concerts were initially funded by nova. sadly they both succumbed to the disease. in 2007 shortly after the concert, tom and stephen left versus cancer to pursue other projects. nova, in a departure from his long-time work in the music industry is currently working with green investment funds and creating bespoke products for the energy industry, two fintech payment processing companies, a technology incubator and a funding entity. with most of the original staff having moved on to other projects it is not expected that versus cancer will regain its original momentum. it has been reported that the charity will some years off from live work whilst working on a new formula for fundraising and execution of new joint venture projects aimed at prevention of cancer through various media. in 2009 andy rourke quit his band project with mani and peter hook called freebass and moved to new york. tom smetham now lives in los angeles as a producer and stephen chapman developed new regional projects working with large nw based companies. "versus cancer" began as great northern productions ltd. originally formed by andy, tom, stephen and nova, "great northern productions" was a production company created to film music and documentaries. great northern productions was preparing to create an alternative musical buzz in the city when tragically nova's sister nina was diagnosed with cancer. at a great northern productions meeting in a local manchester pub, the decision was finalised to put on a small charity gig to raise some money to raise awareness of the disease. later it was agreed that [christie hospital would become a major beneficiary. badly drawn boy agreed to play and the concept of a small local gig was created. it was at peter hook's insistence that nova write a letter to new order which was read out at a band meeting which crystallised the event into what it became. it was new order's stamp of approval that gave momentum to the event. as more bands signed up, the small gig was put to the side and a large scale concert was formulated. the manchester evening news arena was the biggest venue available and one which could raise the most money. the manchester evening news arena is widely known as a boxing venue where posters advertising fights would illustrate a bout between two fighters with a "vs". the artists being from manchester and the enemy being cancer, the name "manchester vs cancer"" was born. great northern productions was then split into the charity great northern aid trust and gna trading ltd, the company whose function was to put the concert on. andy rourke and nova rehman became the directors of the charity great northern aid trust and working with colleagues tom and stephen at gna trading ltd began to get bands together using andy’s little black book of contacts. new order became the first band to confirm the show..swiftly followed by johnny marr and then doves. tom smetham and stephen chapman became the directors of gna trading ltd. tom was working with his friend tony wilson on his annual in the city (festival) music convention and agreed the free use of his office and all facilities due to the worthiness of the cause. once the arena was booked, gna trading ltd pulled in favours from across the spectrum of the tv and music industry in order to organise and film the event. tom and stephen left gna trading ltd in late 2007 to head to where they became producers of the tube (radio series) for "uk1 productions" and broadcast on channel 4 radio. they still produce the televisual element of the show today. katharine mainprize and james ward took on the role of gna trading ltd directors. joel perry of mondiale publishing became more involved with the organisation following the first concert and worked closely on elements of the second show with dave lawrence, the production manager. he negotiated the official blessing of then prime minister tony blair (who wrote an introduction to the official programme opposite tony wilson). the money raised by "versus cancer" has gone towards raising funds for several different projects. every year there is an awareness campaign aimed at young people to encourage them to check for lumps on breast and testicles. in 2008 a ""check your moles"" advert appeared with other billboard ads which feature in the weeks coming up to the event. patrons of the charity include all three the leaders of the main political parties in the uk at that time. prime minister david cameron and deputy prime minister of the united kingdom nick clegg. other patrons include peter hook, danny macnamara, menzies campbell, gordon brown, rob hallett vp aeg live and barry dickens itb. manchester vs cancer exhibited the full gallery of the prints taken by mick rock on the evening of the 2006 concert at vox pop record shop on thomas street in manchester (now called cup) and was very much driven by tom smetham. the prints along with the guitars and amp signed by all the artists on the night were all auctioned to raise money for the charity at a gala dinner in 2008 based at the men arena. the main concert takes place at the manchester evening news arena in manchester uk although plans have been mooted by rob hallett to allow the use of the o2 arena. shortly after the new year, new order were announced. t-shirts and programmes were designed and printed plus two of the guitars signed by the bands were signed by noel gallagher and liam gallagher as they could not make the event. mick rock was brought on board as the official photographer. a world first took place at the concert, where the audience could donate towards the charity by texting a code shown on the big arena screen between bands to download mick's backstage photos seconds after they were taken. history was made during the first year when johnny marr took to the stage with rourke for the first time in nineteen years with an acclaimed version of the smiths' classic "how soon is now?" marr opened with the smiths' "there is a light that never goes out," much to the surprise and delight of the audience. both smiths classics featured marr on vocals for the performance. rourke dedicated "how soon is now?" to nina. new order's performance was purely a joy division set and included the song "twenty four hours," claiming its first live outing since the death of joy division frontman ian curtis. it was their last televised performance before their split in july 2007. notable collaborations included doves performing "there goes the fear" with marr and guy garvey from elbow. doves also played r dean taylor's "there's a ghost in my house" and "vicious" by lou reed, sung by bernard sumner with marr on guitar. badly drawn boy began "silent sigh" with a verse and chorus of madonna's "like a virgin" and later appeared a second time to perform with doves. 808 state appeared with mc tunes to perform "the only rhyme that bites". the finale delivered the most unusual collection of manchester legends ever performing together on one stage. a rendition of the happy mondays anthem "wrote for luck" was performed by shaun ryder, bez, doves, bernard summer, peter hook, marr, joel perry, rourke, wags and badly drawn boy. domino bones, 808 state, elbow, stephen fretwell, nine black alps, badly drawn boy, johnny marr and the healers, doves, new order (as joy division), finale the second concert built on the success of the first with another large manchester bill. "manchester vs cancer" had been renamed "versus cancer" by truth creative (a manchester-based brand consultancy) to open it up to a wider audience and increase global appeal. noel gallagher was announced as headline, the arena was a sell-out. official photographer this time was kevin cummins (photographer). the charlatans were on the bill as was ian brown. collaborations on the night included paul weller with the charlatans playing "town called malice", "can't get out of bed" and the john lennon classic "power to the people" with added vocals from denise johnson. weller also appeared towards the end of the night with noel gallagher to perform "the butterfly collector" and noel (whose semi-acoustic set involved a large string section) performed the smiths' "there is a light that never goes out". there was a rare outing for david mcalmont and bernard butler who played butler's biggest hit, "yes", as a duet with denise johnson and the smiths' "still ill". echo & the bunnymen were joined onstage by peter hook for new order's "ceremony". ian brown who had performed earlier returned to the stage for the finale with mani and rourke where they promptly tore the house down with the stone roses anthem "i am the resurrection" . the final line up the scratch, hippy mafia, mcalmont & butler, echo & the bunnymen, the charlatans (+ paul weller), ian brown, noel gallagher (+paul weller), finale. andy and jez williams (doves), mani, dj tintin whereas the previous years had been predominantly manchester orientated artists, the third year of versus cancer enlisted the influence of a younger musical generation. the sticks, the enemy, the view, athlete and the fratellis all made an appearance. already 2007 had been clouded by the shockingly fast demise of tony wilson who died only months after contracting kidney cancer. during the finale of the third concert, an image of tony appeared on the screens to cheers from the crowd. tom smetham and stephen chapman filmed the concert through "uk 1 productions" with former top of the pops producer chris cowey as director. the finale was rourke bringing badly drawn boy, peter hook, aziz ibrahim, david potts from monaco, denise johnson and drummer steve white up to perform the smiths' "please, please, please let me get what i want", joy division's "love will tear us apart" and john lennon's "instant karma!", which was aptly chosen for the occasion. the final line up playing to a smaller crowd than expected due to lower ticket sales perhaps due in part to snow patrol performing two last minute shows in manchester three weeks prior to the event and withholding permission to use the band's name for promotional purposes, until their own shows had been completed. the decision to still hold the event was apparently not an easy one although snow patrol, happy mondays, tim booth, jim glennie, larry gott from james, puressence, the twang, kid british, peter hook with the bbc philharmonic orchestra, and joe duddell who composed the elbow concert with the halle orchestra and youth choir for the manchester international festival performed exciting sets. despite most ofl the versus cancer concerts being filmed, only the scottish show has been broadcast.. speculation of a dvd has been in the pipeline for years but no material being shown to date. "thanks pranks and party pants"..23 may at the ritz in manchester was actually nova's birthday party, with proceeds going to the charity. performers included echo and the bunnymen, a reformed chameleons with aziz ibrahim and andy rourke, badly drawn boy, frazer king and others. a 2008 concert took place in scotland on friday 28 november 2008. it was originally due to take place at the glasgow secc, but unfortunately the concert was moved to the glasgow academy because echo & the bunnymen and alphabeat were both scheduled to play but had to pull out, for family illness and scheduling difficulties, respectively. nova's father also lost his battle against bowel cancer days before this concert. the final line up attic, sergeant, alfonso, the fratellis, and travis versus cancer have been prominent in dj/house parties promoting the event. the night after the 2007 show, 2 clubs held sponsored dj nights, with 808 state playing at club po na na, charles street, manchester; and dj lowrider playing at the night & day club, oldham street, manchester. after the 2008 show, a party was held at moho live, in manchester, where danny mcnamara of embrace held an event featuring dodgy, boy kill boy, example and the paddingtons, and a competition was held via the official myspace looking for an unsigned band to play. the sinnott memorial observation station is a sheltered viewpoint built into the caldera cliff 900 feet above crater lake in southern oregon, united states. it is located near the rim village visitor center in crater lake national park. the structure includes a small natural history museum with exhibits that highlight the geologic history of mount mazama and the formation of crater lake. the building was officially dedicated as the nicholas j. sinnott memorial observation station and museum; however, it is commonly known as the sinnott memorial overlook or sinnott viewing area. it is architecturally significant because it was the first national park service building constructed specifically as a museum and the first structure built in crater lake national park using rustic stone masonry construction. it is listed on the national register of historic places as sinnott memorial building no. 67. the sinnott memorial was funded by a $10,000 appropriation from the united states congress. it was intended to honor nicholas j. sinnott who represented eastern oregon in the united states house of representatives from 1913 to 1928. as chairman of the house public lands committee, sinnott had actively supported crater lake national park. he died in 1929 shortly after retiring from congress. while the sinnott memorial was to serve as an observation point, congress also intended the building to be a museum. in fact, it was the first museum building constructed in a national park at the specific direction of congress. the structure was designed by landscape architect merel s. sager, a pioneer of the rustic style of park architecture. to ensure a spectacular view, sager chose a site on victor rock, 900 feet above the lake. construction of the observation station began in the fall of 1930. during construction, sager spent hours in a rowboat on the lake, ensuring the building blended perfectly into the caldera cliff. as a result, the building provides a spectacular view of crater lake and surrounding caldera and mountains, but is virtually invisible from the lake below. the building was finished the following summer. it was dedicated on july 16, 1931. horace m. albright, the director of the national park service, attended the dedication ceremony along with william gladstone steel and many other dignitaries. once it was open, the public quickly made it one of crater lake's most popular viewing areas. prior to the park's centennial in 2003, the sinnott memorial building was completely renovated and the museum exhibits updated. the new exhibits cost $425,000, and include easy-to-understand displays with a video program that shows how mount mazama was created, how the mountain collapsed, and how the lake formed. the sinnott memorial observation station is built on victor rock, an outcropping on the cliff face of crater lake's caldera wall, approximately 50 feet below the crest. the structure was the first in the park to use log and stone masonry construction. the structure's rustic style set the architectural standard for future buildings constructed at crater lake national park. to get to the sinnott building, visitors follow a short, stairstep trail from rim village to the entrance. the entrance door opens to a 40 foot by 40 foot observation room. on the north side of the room, an open-air balcony offers visitors a spectacular view to the lake. the balcony is covered by a cantilever log roof. the museum exhibits are located in the center of the observation room and around the walls. the exhibits highlight the geologic history of mount mazama and the formation of crater lake. there is also a hidden 12 by 14 foot workroom adjacent to the museum space. a door on the east side of the room leads to the exit stairs which is hidden from view by a stone wall. the building is constructed of heavy, native stone and concrete with log beams supporting the roof. the structure's footprint is somewhat irregular because the building was designed to merge the cliff. the stone walls are load-bearing with rough rock exposed on the outer walls to blend with the surrounding landscape. in the 1930s, the building's roof was re-built with asphalt and lead flashing to stop leaking. in 1961, flagstone paving was added to the interior floor and the exterior entry patio area. the entire structure was renovated in 2003. despite the changes required over the years, the national park service has been careful to maintain the rustic look of the building. because of its architectural and historic significance, the sinnott memorial building was listed on the national register of historic places in 1988. brian axel hoyer (born october 13, 1985) is an american football quarterback for the indianapolis colts of the national football league (nfl). he played college

was the patriots' final attempt of the 2011 regular season. the pass, which head coach bill belichick asked offensive coordinator bill o'brien to call, was a 22-yard pass to tight end rob gronkowski to give gronkowski the nfl record for receiving yards in a season by a tight end. in the playoffs, the patriots defeated the denver broncos in the divisional round and the baltimore ravens in the afc championship game to reach super bowl xlvi. the patriots went on to lose 21-17 to the new york giants. on august 31, 2012, during final cuts, hoyer was released by the patriots. he practiced with saint ignatius players while hoping for another team to sign him. on november 20, 2012, hoyer signed with the pittsburgh steelers after injuries to starting quarterback ben roethlisberger and backup byron leftwich within a week of each other. hoyer served as the backup to charlie batch in weeks 12 and 13 against the cleveland browns and baltimore ravens respectively. he was released by the team on december 8, 2012. hoyer was claimed on waivers by the arizona cardinals on december 10. he replaced ryan lindley in week 16 against the chicago bears, and completed 11-of-19 passes for 105 yards and an interception. on december 26, cardinals head coach ken whisenhunt announced that hoyer would start the season finale against the san francisco 49ers, making him the fourth starting quarterback for the cardinals that season. he finished the 27–13 loss 19-of-34 for 225 passing yards, a touchdown, and an interception. on may 12, 2013, hoyer was released by the cardinals. on may 16, hoyer was signed by the cleveland browns to a two-year deal. on september 18, in relief of then-starter brandon weeden, who was out with a thumb injury, the browns skipped over second string jason campbell and named him the starting quarterback for the week 3 game against the minnesota vikings. he threw for 321 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions in the team's first win of the season. it was announced later in the week that hoyer would be the browns' starting quarterback for week 4 against division rival cincinnati bengals, as weeden remained out with a thumb injury. hoyer led the browns to another win, completing 25-of-38 passes for 269 yards and 2 touchdowns, along with throwing no interceptions in a 17–6 victory. the next day on september 30, hoyer was named the starter for a third straight game, thursday night football vs the buffalo bills. despite being named starter for three straight games, hoyer was not declared the official starter for the remainder of the 2013 season by cleveland head coach rob chudzinski, who referred to the situation as "a week-to-week thing." he later added that, if hoyer continued to exceed expectations, he would maintain his starting position. however, hoyer sustained an acl tear in the thursday night game versus the buffalo bills, ending his promising season. with the browns' releases of weeden and campbell to free agency, hoyer stated that he was confident that he would be the starting quarterback for the browns, no matter who they would draft in 2014. the browns drafted heisman trophy winning quarterback johnny manziel with the 22nd overall pick, who was known as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2014 nfl draft. hoyer did not take this as too much of a shock, stating "i don't want people to think i'm sitting at home pouting." head coach mike pettine stated that manziel would not simply be handed the job, leaving the starter position open to competition. on august 20, 2014, hoyer was tabbed the starting quarterback for the browns to begin the 2014 season. through the first six weeks the browns were 3–2, with the two heartbreaking losses coming on last-second scores, and hoyer possessing a 7–1 td:int ratio. during week 5 against the tennessee titans, hoyer threw for 292 yards, 3 touchdowns, and an interception. despite trailing 28–3, hoyer led the browns to 26 unanswered points, securing the win with a final score of 29–28. it was the largest comeback victory in franchise history, and the largest for a road team in nfl history. hoyer led the browns to a 6–3 start, the franchise's best nine-game start since the team started 7–2 in the 1994 season. however, hoyer struggled in the following four games, throwing only one touchdown while being intercepted eight times. as a result, the browns lost 3 of those 4 games to fall to 7–6 on the season, jeopardizing their playoff hopes. in a week 14 home loss to the indianapolis colts, hoyer was 14/31 for 140 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. he was repeatedly booed by fans throughout the game, and was heavily criticized for his performance following the loss. through 13 games on the season, hoyer had 11 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. hoyer's struggles in this 1–3 stretch led many fans, pundits, and analysts to call for the quarterback to be benched in favor of rookie johnny manziel. on december 9, 2014, the browns announced that johnny manziel would start in week 15 against the bengals in place of hoyer. however, manziel was injured in the 2nd quarter of the browns' matchup against the carolina panthers and was relieved by hoyer. hoyer threw a touchdown and an interception while going 7/13 with 153 passing yards. in the fourth quarter, he threw an 81-yard touchdown pass to tight end jordan cameron to put the browns up 13–10. however, the panthers regained the lead on the next drive and went on to win the game 17–13. after the season, hoyer's contract expired and he became a free agent. on march 11, 2015, hoyer signed a two-year, $10.5 million contract with the houston texans. on august 24, he was named the starter for the regular season over former patriots teammate ryan mallett. in the first game of the 2015 season, with houston trailing to the kansas city chiefs 27–9, hoyer was benched in the fourth quarter in favor of mallett. on september 17, head coach bill o'brien announced that hoyer would be benched in favor of mallett for the second game of the season against the carolina panthers. in week 5, during a matchup against the indianapolis colts, mallett was injured and was replaced by hoyer for the remainder of the game. hoyer threw for two touchdowns but also threw a costly interception to give the colts a 27–20 victory. hoyer was then announced as the starter for the next game against the jacksonville jaguars by head coach bill o'brien. hoyer led the texans to a 31–20 victory over the jaguars and was announced by o'brien as the starter going forward. on january 3, 2016, hoyer led the texans to their first playoff berth and afc south title since 2012 with a 30–6 victory over the jaguars. the texans played in the first afc wild card game against the kansas city chiefs, where hoyer struggled, throwing for 136 passing yards and four interceptions. the texans were shut out by the chiefs 30–0. hoyer was released by the texans on april 17, 2016. on april 30, 2016, hoyer agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the chicago bears. after an injury to starting quarterback jay cutler in week 2, he started the week 3 game against the dallas cowboys and threw for 317 yards and two touchdowns in a 31–17 loss. the following week, he threw two touchdowns for 302 yards in a 17–14 victory over the detroit lions. a week later in a 29–23 loss to the indianapolis colts, he threw for a career-high 397 yards, the most by a bears quarterback since jim miller threw for 422 yards in 1999 and the fifth-most in bears history. hoyer also joined josh mccown as the only bears quarterbacks to throw for at least 300 yards in three straight games and later became the first to do so in four consecutive games after throwing for 302 yards in a loss to the jacksonville jaguars. hoyer broke his left arm during the second quarter of a game against the green bay packers on october 20, 2016. he was placed on injured reserve on october 24, 2016 after having surgery on his left arm, and was reported to be out at least eight weeks. on march 9, 2017, hoyer signed a two-year contract with the san francisco 49ers. hoyer started the first six games of the season for the 49ers. through the first five games, hoyer had completed 59 percent of his passes for 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions as the 49ers lost all 5 games. during hoyer's sixth start in week 6 against the washington redskins, he was benched in favor of rookie c. j. beathard during the second quarter after completing 4 of 11 passes for 34 yards. after the game, beathard was named the 49ers starter. on october 30, 2017, hoyer was released by the 49ers following the acquisition of jimmy garoppolo in a trade with the patriots. it was also reported that hoyer was originally part of the trade, but the patriots did not want him included due to compensatory draft pick reasons. on november 1, 2017, hoyer signed a three-year contract to return to the patriots to be the backup to tom brady, with whom he started his career. on november 12, 2017, hoyer was brought in to end the game after the patriots led the denver broncos by more than 20 points. he completed 3 of 3 passes for 37 yards as the patriots won 41–16. in the regular season finale on december 31, 2017, hoyer was brought in to end the game after the patriots led the new york jets by 20 points. he completed 1 of 3 passes for 5 yards as the patriots won 26–6. on january 13, 2018, he appeared late in the patriots' 35–14 victory over the tennessee titans to kneel down in the victory formation. it was his second appearance in a playoff game. in the 2018 season, hoyer played in five games in relief of brady. he was active for the patriots' super bowl liii win over the los angeles rams, but was the only active patriot not to play a down. due to his experience of playing under the offense system run by rams head coach sean mcvay, hoyer played a key role in preparing the patriots' defense which held the rams offense to only one field goal. on august 31, 2019, hoyer was released by the patriots after losing the backup job to rookie jarrett stidham. on september 2, 2019, hoyer signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the indianapolis colts. he came into the game on november 3 in place of an injured jacoby brissett and threw for 168 yards, three touchdowns, and a pick six in the 26–24 loss against the pittsburgh steelers. hoyer made his first start with the colts in the following week's game against the miami dolphins. in the game, hoyer threw for 204 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in the 16–12 loss. hoyer is married to his high school sweetheart lauren scrivens. the couple have one son, garrett, and one daughter, cameron. a business idea is a concept that can be used for financial gain that is usually centered on a product or service that can be offered for money. an idea is the base of the pyramid when it comes to the business as a whole. the characteristics of a promising business idea are: a business idea is often linked to its creator who needs to identify the business' value proposition in order to launch to market and establish competitive advantage. for businesses this could mean: creating new ideas, new product development through research and development or improving existing services. innovation can be the central focus of a business and this can help them to grow and become a market leader if they execute their ideas properly. businesses that are focused on innovation are usually more efficient, cost effective and productive. successful innovation should be built into the business strategy, where you can create a culture of innovation and drive forward creative problem solving. these successful companies were built on sheer innovation and we can see how valuable they have become in the short time they have been around or have been focusing on innovation. when tesla's value is compared to that of general motors, we see that the market capitalization of general motors is $53.98 billion today in which the company has been around since 1908 whereas tesla was founded in 2003 and has achieved 50% of general motors value within 12 years. a unique selling point (usp) is the factor that makes a company or a product stand out from its competitors, whether it is through; pricing, quality, customer service or innovation. each successful company has a unique selling proposition (usp). a usp can be created through the element of being first to a market, for example uber was the first company to allow for taxicab hailing via mobile app. because uber had reached this market first, it had a usp and therefore it received loyal customers. however; with fierce competition copying uber's business model, uber has had to develop its service through innovation. business ideas that solve problems are fundamental to developing the world and companies such as curemark are one of many who do this. curemark is a biotech company founded by joan fallon, who noticed that a lot of the children she treated were low on an enzyme for processing protein and since then she has quit her job and has built curemark to solve this problem. curemark has now raised $50 million and is on its way to solving a problem that truly exists. profitability is a business's ability to generate earnings compared to its costs over a certain period of time. this is possibly the most important aspect of any business idea in the long term, as this is what makes a business survive in order to keep having the impact that it has. profitable ideas need a strong revenue stream against its costs and this tends to create the success of the business, however some companies defy this and make losses to begin with, yet are still exceptional business ideas that are worth billions. tomislav knez (born 9 june 1938 in banja luka) is a former footballer from yugoslavia. during his club career he played for borac banja luka, nk dinamo zagreb, sv schwechat, sk rapid wien, kapfenberger sv and sv güssing. he earned 14 caps for the yugoslavia national football team, and participated in the 1960 european nations' cup. foxtrot zulu is a seven-member rock band based and localized in the providence, rhode island area. the band has released five albums and performed over 1000 shows. in 1991, while attending the university of rhode island, nate edmunds and neal jones, high school pals from devon, pennsylvania found themselves inhabiting the archetypical college role of "the guys playing guitar in the other room" at the myriad and sundry house parties the institution was then infamous for. the duo would attract listeners and participants alike, often growing into impromptu jam sessions fueled by common interest in the grateful dead and classic rock. as time went on, the group grew organically to include drums bass and saxophone, and eventually began to fulfill requests to play at parties under the ad hoc moniker "nate, neal and those guys". soon after, trumpet and percussion rounded out the septet and a musical equilibrium was reached: no members have been added or removed since. nate (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), neal (lead vocals, lead guitar), paul miller (percussion), jeff roberge (drums), jeff light (trumpet, flugel horn, vocals, harmonica), and terryston "tk" kyan (saxophone, mandolin, vocals, piano). brad haas (bass guitar, vocals, lead guitar). after developing a respectable stable of original songs as well as time tested covers, the ensemble first performed under the name foxtrot zulu in the spring of 1993. throughout its existence, foxtrot has always believed in giving back to the community, as evidenced by the fact that at one point or another, each of its members has worked at perspectives corporation, a company devoted to bettering the lives of those individuals with developmental disabilities, located in south county, rhode island. the group has also shown their devotion to the bettering the community by playing a number of benefit concerts, one accessible example of this can be found in the group's only professionally produced live recording, "live...", which showcases the highlights of a two night stand at the ocean mist bar, a local watering hole located in matunuck, rhode island. this tradition was once again called into play after the tragedy of 9/11, when foxtrot zulu, along with sublime cover band badfish shared a bill at the ocean mist to benefit the families of those who worked at windows on the world, the restaurant at the top of the world trade center. all proceeds from that night were donated to survivors and their families. the band shares in the tradition of the grateful dead, phish and many other "jam bands" in welcoming the recording and trading of recordings of their shows. the band's archivist welcomes any visitors to his website taperjay.com to requests for copies of shows that he has amassed. the band has recorded their fifth album, titled "tonight". it contains many crowd favorites that had yet to make their way onto any of their four previous releases. this includes the track "boulevard" in a much shorter form than the live version, due mainly to the shortening of the extensive drum solo usually found between the chorus and the second verse. the album also features guest vocalist and executive producer marc roberge, from o.a.r. who is also drummer jeff roberge's younger brother. in true foxtrot zulu fashion, the song "tonight" does not appear on the album. this is also true of the bands prior releases. "moe's diner", the song, does however appear on "burn slow". as of 2014, the band still performs intermittently. edmunds is currently a middle school principal in jamestown, rhode island. live album: merril sandoval (april 18, 1925 – february 9, 2008) was an american navajo world war ii veteran and a member of the navajo code talkers, a group of united states marines who transmitted important messages in their native navajo language in order to stop the japanese from intercepting sensitive material. sandoval took part in every marine landing in the pacific ocean theater of world war ii from 1943 until 1945. merril sandoval was born on april 18, 1925, in nageezi, new mexico. his first language was navajo. he was later enrolled at farmington methodist mission school in farmington, new

sandoval, enlisted. however, sandoval's father, julian sandoval, insisted that sandoval, who was then sixteen years old, was too young to join the marines. sandoval was allowed to join the marines by his father one year later. he never worked with his brother, samuel, who was also a code talker during the war. sandoval boarded a train to santa fe, new mexico, when he was 17 years old, where he enlisted in the united states marine corps in 1943. he completed boot camp in san diego before being transferred to camp pendleton's radio communication school, where he was trained to become a code talker. he was initially sent to hawaii by the marines. throughout world war ii, sandoval served with both the 2nd and 5th marine divisions. sandoval's main mission was to remain behind the front lines in order to translate reports from two-man code talker teams in other parts of the battlefield. he then sent the messages, which were encoded in navajo, back to united states commanders who were based on hawaii. he also had the responsibility of passing orders to marines on the front lines. sandoval saw action in iwo jima, saipan and allied occupied japan. during the battle of iwo jima, sandoval's landing craft was hit by enemy fire. he and his radio company were thrown into the pacific ocean. he managed to swim approximately 100 yards to the iwo jima beach, where he survived a constant barrage of shelling by the japanese for the next twenty-four hours. sandoval was honorably discharged from the military in march 1946 as a u.s. marine corporal. he returned to the united states in order to finish high school. sandoval and other code talkers were ordered to keep their work in the pacific a secret following the war. his own family did not learn about the importance of his missions until information concerning the navajo code talkers was declassified in 1968. sandoval married lorraine humetewa shingoitewa in july 1951. they had five children. soon after his marriage, he took a job as a machinist at the garrett airesearch facility in phoenix, arizona, where he worked for 15 years. he and his family moved to lorraine's hometown of tuba city, arizona, on the navajo nation in 1963, where he joined the navajo tribal police force, which he served in for three years. he then became a legal advocate for d.n.a. legal services, a nonprofit law firm. he retired from the organization after 23 years. sandoval then worked as an interpreter for the navajo legal courts for an additional sixteen years. as an elderly man, merril traveled across the country to share his personal story and experiences as a navajo code talker with the us marine corps. he continued to travel up until fall 2007. merril sandoval died on february 9, 2008, at the age of 82 at

– july 20, 1989) was an argentine actor and comedian. juan carlos altavista began his career at teatro infantil labarden, in buenos aires. afterwards he learned from narciso ibáñez menta, francisco petrone and luis sandrini. the character that carried him to fame, minguito tinguitella, a tramp driving an old dustcart, was an idea of juan carlos chiappe. with beret and espadrille, he achieved great radio and tv success. later, altavista joined "polémica en el bar", a tv sketch featuring fidel pintos, javier portales, vicente la rusa, mario sánchez and adolfo garcía grau. "minguito" was the star in many films from 1942 to 1988. altavista died in buenos aires on 20 july 1989, due to wolff-parkinson-white syndrome. annie miner peterson (1860-1939) was a coos indian from the u.s. state of oregon who was a cultural and linguistic consultant to melville jacobs, an anthropologist at the university of washington. in 1933 while searching for a suitable consultant in the hanis coos language from among the eight or ten elderly coos indians who were still fluent at that time, jacobs discovered that peterson was fluent not only in hanis, but also in miluk coos, a penutian language thought to have been extinct for at least fifteen years. through the summers of 1933 and 1934, jacobs interviewed peterson in those two languages, collecting 32 coos myth texts in miluk, eight in hanis, and two in both hanis and miluk for comparison of the two languages. wax-cylinder phonograph recordings were also taken of the myths and songs during both years. in addition, jacobs collected from peterson a large number of narrative and ethnologic texts in miluk, a smaller number in hanis, and eight texts in both hanis and miluk. the narrative and ethnologic texts were published in 1939; the myth texts in 1940. annie was born in 1860 of a coos indian mother and a white father, james miner, whom she never met, at the native village of willanch (wu'læ'ænch, meaning good-weather-place) at the present-day cooston, on the east shore of upper coos bay on the southern oregon coast. she was one of the last coos indians to grow up in the traditional coos culture. as an infant she was taken by her mother to the coastal indian reservation at yaquina bay, and later removed to the sub-agency at yachats where she grew up and married, first to an abusive older hanis man, and later to william jackson, an alsea indian her own age. through their daughter, nellie (aason), there are descendants to the present day. annie married three more times, unhappily, but her last marriage was a happy and compatible relationship with a swedish logger named carl peterson. they both died of tuberculosis in 1939 at their home on lower coos bay. annie miner peterson was an accomplished basketmaker, storyteller, and repository of indigenous coos languages and traditional culture. her full-length biography was published by university of oklahoma press in 1997: "she's tricky like coyote: annie miner peterson, an oregon coast indian woman", by lionel youst. a matter of profit is a science fiction novel written by hilari bell published in 2001. ahvren's people, the vivitare, have conquered the t'chin confederacy. after spending two years fighting a brutal war on another world, ahvren welcomes peace. however, he is suspicious of his people's easy victory, wondering why the t'chin surrendered. it is rumored that the vivitare emperor is in danger of being assassinated and ahvren offers to uncover the plot, in return for the freedom to choose his own path. to do it, he must understand what motivates the t'chin. mara albert in a review for school library journal said that "this is well-written, thought-provoking, and exciting science fiction. it's got cool weapons and weird aliens, but it's also got some meat to it. fans of "star trek" will find it just to their taste." anita berkam in her review for horn book magazine said that "the mystery moves at a cracking pace with plenty of action, and bell creates several alien races with unique characteristics and philosophies, notably the vivitare survival philosophy and the t'chin perspective on life as a cosmic game of profit both the bibliogoth's wise mentorship and ahvren's gradual and believable conversion to the t'chin way of thinking are distinctively and engagingly handled. for its winning characterization, suspenseful covert action at the climax, and intriguing conclusion, this entry in the science-fiction/ mystery genre will convert plenty of fans." the cugir machine gun is a gas-operated rotating bolt-locking medium machine gun used by romanian land forces. it can be carried and operated by one person, but an assistant gunner is usually employed. it is available with either a 250-round belt or a 100-round box magazine. there is also a light machine gun variant chambered for the less powerful 7.62×39mm cartridge, rpk like. https://web.archive.org/web/20130408102918/http://www.arms.home.ro/ kmms-fm (95.1 fm, "the moose 95.1") is a radio station licensed to serve bozeman, montana. the station is owned by townsquare media, licensed to townsquare media bozeman license, llc. it airs an adult album alternative music format. all townsquare media bozeman studios are located at 125 west mendenhall street, downtown bozeman. kxlb, kmms-fm, kzmy, and kisn all share a transmitter site on green mountain, east of bozeman. the station was assigned the kmms-fm call letters by the federal communications commission on may 15, 1991. in february 2008, colorado-based gapwest broadcasting completed the acquisition of 57 radio stations in 13 markets in the pacific northwest-rocky mountain region from clear channel communications. the deal, valued at a reported $74 million, included six bozeman stations, seven in missoula and five in billings. other stations in the deal are located in shelby, montana, and in casper and cheyenne, wyoming, plus pocatello and twin falls, idaho, and yakima, washington. gapwest was folded into townsquare media on august 13, 2010. kmms started out as kuub 95 the kube, yellowstone country's hit music. it was bozemans home of the original american top 40. in 1991, the station flipped to a hybrid rock/alternative/adult rock format. this left bozeman without a pop music station for ten years until kscy (kisn) started transitioning from adult contemporary to top 40 in 2002. borivoje "bora" kostić (, ; 14 june 1930 – 10 january 2011) was a serbian footballer. normally a prolific left winger, kostić is regarded as one of finest yugoslav players of his generation and was well known for powerful shot and free kick ability. during his club career he played for red star belgrade, lanerossi vicenza and st. louis stars. he earned 33 caps and 26 goals for the yugoslavia national football team, and participated in the 1960 european nations' cup. kostić was no less prolific at the club level with red star belgrade, for whom he remains to this day the all-time leading marksman with 158 league strikes. uss "fenimore cooper" (1853) was a schooner assigned as a ship’s tender to accompany a surveying expedition. after departing from hampton roads, virginia, and navigating the cape of good hope, the expedition traveled throughout the pacific ocean accumulating hydrographic information from the south china sea to the bering strait in the arctic and alaska. subsequently, "fenimore cooper" performed supply operations based out of san francisco, california, before once again returning to her pacific ocean survey work, which continued until she was destroyed in a typhoon off yokohama, japan. "fenimore cooper" was a us navy schooner named for james fenimore cooper. she was the new york pilot boat skiddy until purchased by the navy in january 1853. she was commissioned 21 march 1853, master h. k. stevens in command. "fenimore cooper" was acquired for use as a ship's tender for the surveying expedition to the bering strait, north pacific, and china seas commanded by commander c. ringgold, and later, lieutenant j. rodgers. the expedition of five ships, led by uss "vincennes", sailed from hampton roads, virginia 11 june 1853 for the cape of good hope and the orient. "fenimore cooper" and two other ships charted archipelagos and passages between batavia and singapore and from java northward to the south china sea until june 1854, when she rejoined the flagship at hong kong. through that summer, the expedition cruised the coast of china, joining the east india squadron in protecting american interests. returning to its surveys in september 1854, the squadron sailed northward to petropavlovsk, where the ships separated. "vincennes" penetrated the arctic, while "fenimore cooper" searched the aleutians unsuccessfully for information concerning the fate of the men of the whaler "monongahela", missing since 1853. returning to the united states, "fenimore cooper" called at sitka, alaska, then russian territory, in what her commanding officer believed to be the first visit ever paid by an american naval ship to that port. "fenimore cooper" arrived in san francisco, california 11 october 1855, and through the next three years, carried supplies between mare island navy yard and san francisco. once more assigned to survey duty, she sailed from san francisco 26 september 1858 to chart the shipping lanes between the u.s. west coast and china. she made a thorough examination of numerous small islands and reefs in the vicinity of the hawaiian islands, and finding a deposit of good quality guano on french frigate shoals, took possession of them for the united states 4 january 1859. the schooner sailed on to take soundings and make observations in the marianas and the islands south of japan. on 13 august she arrived in kanagawa bay off yokohama, where on the 23d she was grounded during a severe typhoon. all her men and most of the stores, instruments, charts and records of survey were saved, but the ship was found not worthy of repair, and abandoned. her commanding officer and many of her crew returned to the united states in the . chet atkins in hollywood is the ninth studio album recorded by american guitarist chet atkins, released in 1959. the title takes its name from the fact that atkins recorded it in hollywood. the lush string arrangements are by dennis farnon. atkins later (in 1961) re-recorded this album in his home studio, using the orchestra tapes from the hollywood session. the original lp lists atkins as the producer, the 1961 reissue lists "... with dennis farnon and his orchestra" and also lists dick peirce as producer. allmusic music critic richard s. ginell specifically praised "theme from picnic" and "jitterbug waltz" and wrote of the album; "for some, this record might fall under the category of guilty pleasures, but a pleasure it is, one of the great make-out records of its time." ciot-fm is a canadian radio station that broadcasts a christian music format at 104.1 fm in nipawin, saskatchewan. the station is branded as lighthouse 104.1 and is owned by

and died in belgrade. during his club career he played for fk partizan and 1. fc nürnberg. he earned 17 caps for the yugoslavia national football team, and participated in the 1960 european nations' cup. his entire coaching career was tied to fk partizan where he worked as assistant to various head coaches, and even got to fill in at the head position during two separate stints that lasted a few months. he was married and had two children. john clark, better known as signor brocolini (september 26, 1841 – june 7, 1906), was an irish-born american operatic singer and actor remembered for creating the role of the pirate king in the original new york city production of "the pirates of penzance" by gilbert and sullivan, in 1879–80. after moving to brooklyn, new york, as a child, brocolini became interested in baseball and music. he began his career in the early 1870s as a journalist, then a baseball player, while also beginning a part-time singing career. after brief study in italy in 1875, he was engaged to sing opera in london and on tour by james henry mapleson, adopting his stage name from the borough of brooklyn, and italianizing it. in 1879, he joined the d'oyly carte opera company, with which he returned to the united states, where he originated the role of the pirate king. over the next decade, he mostly toured in america, briefly visiting australia, and played mostly in gilbert and sullivan roles, often with e. e. rice and john stetson companies. he eventually returned to brooklyn. brocolini was the son of john p. clark of glasgow (died 1874), a printer, and his wife lilias (or lillian) née morison from linton, perthshire, scotland (died 1892). he was born in county cork, ireland. after returning to scotland, the family emigrated to the united states, settling in brooklyn, new york, in 1852. young brocolini became an avid baseball fan and player. by his teens, he was also learning the printing trade from his father, who was working for the brooklyn publishing firm harper & brothers. he also developed an interest in singing, eventually studying with antonio bagioli, among others. brocolini began his career in the early 1860s working for newspapers, soon becoming a reporter in brooklyn. at the same time, still under the name john clark, he began taking professional singing engagements, including with several touring opera companies and with bowers and prendergast's minstrels in 1864. in the spring of 1865, immediately after the american civil war, brocolini moved to detroit, michigan. he began there as a proofreader for the "detroit advertiser and tribune" and also played first base for the newly revived detroit base ball club. in july 1865, he married lizzie fox, the daughter of robert fox, a blacksmith. the couple had a son, kingsley. the "advertiser and tribune" reported closely on baseball, and brocolini eventually began to write editorials. he became club director of the detroit team. brocolini helped his team to become the dominant club in michigan and the region. in 1868, brocolini moved back to brooklyn and continued his journalism career, eventually writing editorials for the "brooklyn eagle" by the 1870s. he continued to sing in concerts, appearing as bass soloist at the brooklyn academy of music and at various churches and other venues, and toured with susan galton's operetta company. he even produced some opera in brooklyn. in 1872, he sang at a concert at the church of the messiah in brooklyn, held to dedicate a new organ. the same year, he was leading the newly formed brooklyn operatic association and performed in "the pearl of baghdad", an opera by john m. loretz. through the early 1870s, he became increasingly well known as a singer in new york city. finally, in 1875, his friends at the newspaper decided to raise money to send him to study singing in milan, italy. brocolini wrote, "the complete change in my life was effected in less than three hours... they put in what money they could themselves, called on my wealthy friends in brooklyn for subscriptions, and in less than three hours they raised $5500 for me." with a big sendoff from brooklyn, including a banquet attended by mayor john w. hunter, among others, brocolini sailed for milan and soon decided to adopt his new stage name to honor the borough in which he grew up. in italy, he studied voice with antonio sangiovanni. while there, he wrote "observations by a brooklyn student of music", for the "brooklyn eagle", complaining of the treatment of foreign music students by their italian teachers. by the spring of 1876, he had been engaged to sing by james henry mapleson's italian opera company at the theatre royal, drury lane in london, now using his stage name, signor brocolini. brocolini started in smaller bass roles in london and was promoted to larger roles when the company toured, alongside thérèse tietjens, in 1876. the next year, he sang more substantial roles at her majesty's theatre, until he left mapleson's company. in 1878–1879 he sang at albert hall, the crystal palace, the royal aquarium, st james's hall and at the covent garden proms, among other concert venues in london and elsewhere in england. in mid-1879, he sang at the alexandra palace with blanche cole's opera and concert group, with whom he made his last appearances in serious opera. brocolini joined the d'oyly carte opera company in october 1879 in liverpool, england, playing dick deadeye in "h.m.s. pinafore" with one of carte's touring companies. in november, he traveled to new york to appear as captain corcoran in the first authorized american production of "pinafore" at the fifth avenue theatre, which premiered on december 1, 1879. he then created the role of the pirate king in "the pirates of penzance" on december 31, 1879 at the same theatre, earning a good notice from "the new york times". he continued to play the pirate king in new york and on tour through june 1880. after carte's production closed, brocolini played the pirate king in a non-d'oyly carte production, including in boston the last two weeks of july. carte sued brocolini in us federal court for breach of a contract to perform with d'oyly carte, and an order was entered against brocolini in august 1880 enjoining him from performing for any other company. brocolini rejoined d'oyly carte and e. e. rice in a tour of "billee taylor" in april 1881, playing christopher crab. the tour continued into the summer of 1881, later under the auspices of the rice-goodwin lyric comedy company. he then played the role of dr kindergarten in nat goodwin's "dr syntax" at the boston museum, and, with his own paine-brocolini opera company, produced "fadette, or the days of robespierre" and "the rose of the auvergne". in other non-d'oyly carte companies, brocolini played in "pinafore" and "patience" at haverley's theatre, brooklyn, in february 1882, and then toured as the pirate king, christopher crab, and captain corcoran with the boston comic opera company. at the fifth avenue theatre in october 1882, he again played christopher crab in "billee taylor". from late 1882 to the spring of 1883, he appeared with collier's standard opera company in the role of strephon in "iolanthe", the first work produced at the boston bijou theatre. with collier's at the bijou, he next appeared in the musical "pounce & co.", and then in "the sorcerer", as sir marmaduke pointdextre. in early 1884, brocolini played king hildebrand in new york's first production of "princess ida", at the fifth avenue theatre, produced by e. e. rice. by 1884, brocolini's marriage had ended in divorce, and lizzie had remarried the former singer carlos florentine, who had appeared in sullivan's "the zoo" (1875), and whom the clarks had known in london. florentine and lizzie, according to the press, had fallen on hard times and were being helped by the salvation army. the press made brocolini seem wealthy and heartless while his ex-wife starved. florentine, however, was working as a church musician in 1888, so it appears that the press coverage was unfair. brocolini next joined a comic opera company in montreal. he traveled to australia the following year, where he appeared with the williamson, garner and musgrove royal comic opera company beginning in april 1885, in melbourne with "la petite mademoiselle" by charles lecocq. he reprised the role of strephon in "iolanthe" in melbourne and sydney until june 1885. in october 1885 he was back in boston, appearing in "stradella" at the bijou theatre. he next toured as pooh-bah in "the mikado" from november 1885 through may 1886. in late 1886, at the fifth avenue theatre, he reprised the roles of pooh bah and king hildebrand. in early 1887, he toured in new england, with producer john stetson, playing the roles of colonel calverley in "patience", king hildebrand in "princess ida", and sir despard murgatroyd in "ruddigore". he also formed his own company to produce "pirates" in boston in the summer of 1887. by 1887, brocolini had begun to suffer from acute rheumatism, which forced him to reduce his performing schedule over the next few years. he performed his usual roles in revivals of "ruddigore" and "the mikado" in 1888 with the stetson opera company, played the duke of plaza toro in "the gondoliers" in 1890 in brooklyn, and appeared in "patience" in 1892 with the brooklyn amateur operetta company. he also appeared in "the corsair" as seyd pasha with rice's company and in "the yeomen of the guard" with stetson's company in 1889, and he continued to sing oratorio until at least 1892. in 1890, brocolini had returned to brooklyn, where his mother and sister still lived, and he became the music critic for the "brooklyn eagle". beginning in 1894, he trained and conducted choirs in brooklyn, founding "the brocolini choir". he also wrote articles on music and composed a number of musical works, including the cantata, "the triumph of the cross", other church music and some operettas. in 1897, brocolini married sarah (born 1856), the daughter of connecticut confectioner and grocer, george d. bradley. in 1905, he began to manage the millard opera company, which starred laura millard. brocolini died in brooklyn, of liver disease, in 1906. john woodruff simpson (october 13, 1850 – may 16, 1920) was a founding member of law firm simpson thacher & bartlett llp, then titled simpson, thacher, & barnum. he and his wife were known as avid art collectors, with many pieces from their estate eventually going to the national gallery of art in washington, d.c. simpson was born and raised in east craftsbury, vermont. he attended amherst college, and graduated from columbia law school in 1873. he was formerly a law clerk at the old-line firm alexander & green. along with his fellow former clerks thomas thacher and william m. barnum, they organized their new law firm on january 1, 1884. simpson was one of the founding members of the "good government" organization the city club of new york. in the early 1900s simpson commissioned a bronze sculpture by moses jacob ezekiel in the likeness of the blind poet homer (accompanied by a student guide), as a gift for amherst college, his alma mater. for reasons unknown the gift was refused, and thomas nelson page, a university of virginia alumnus who was active in his college's alumni association, stepped in to secure the gift of the statue to uva instead. the final sculpture, entitled "blind homer with his student guide", was completed in 1907, and is currently installed on the lawn, in the grass to the north of old cabell hall. simpson died may 16, 1920, and is buried in east craftsbury. he left an estate appraised in 1922 at $2,665,894 (equivalent to $ million in ). simpson's widow, kate seney simpson, died in 1943. simpson never forgot his origins, and is commemorated in the john woodruff simpson memorial library in east craftsbury. william lee (bill) welch, jr.

"bill welch was one of pennsylvania's greatest leaders," said former penn state president graham spanier. "he was a dedicated public servant and community leader. bill was proud of his university and the town that surrounded and nourished it. the university and community were in turn proud of bill, a great humanitarian and ambassador. penn state deeply mourns his passing. " a local community pool in state college is named after his father, william welch, sr., a local doctor who led the fundraising effort in the 1960s to build the first community pool in state college. it is located next to state college area high school on westerly parkway and was recently redeveloped in 2010 at a cost of 5.2 million usd. an active and dedicated philatelist, welch specialized in

is a natural process of the body, dissipating slowly over time. this process is aided by insects, making the rate of decomposition faster. for forensic entomologists, it is important to carefully collect, preserve and analyze insects found near or on a victim. by doing that, they can provide an estimated time of death as well as the manner of death and the movement of the corpse from one site to another. the role of a forensic entomologist adjunction to the pathologist is to “collect and identify the arthropods associated with such cases and to analyze entomological data for interpreting insect evidence.” bodies may be stored in coolers or refrigeration units, for various time intervals, ranging from hours to days. two types of mortuary room may be used: positive and negative temperature morgues. two main physiological responses to low temperature are diapause and quiescence. diapause is a feature that insects use to synchronize their development within their life cycle with seasonal cycles of the environment. it has evolved to help insects respond to adverse environmental conditions by delaying their development. however, quiescence acts like an anesthetic, and stops insect development for a short time by slowing down insect metabolic activity. it is induced by a sudden drop in temperature that ranges from 0 °c to 10 °c. a simulation of insects chilling in a morgue was conducted by using "calliphora vicina" to illustrate that adult emergence is delayed by 24 hours, no matter in which stage the refrigeration occurred. there was no mortality when they were kept at 3 °c for 24 hours. in this simulation, quiescence was induced by the low temperature and the insect physiology was not affected when they were returned to 24 °c. despite the result from the "calliphora vicina" experimental study, refrigeration could affect post mortem interval (pmi) calculation because it may cause physiological disturbances in certain insect species. however, this refrigeration process must be done if the insects collected at the crime scene cannot be sent to a forensic entomologist immediately. because insect development could advance after the refrigeration period, it could lead to an underestimation of the time of death. maggots develop at a rate that is depended entirely upon environmental factors, which makes temperature one of the most important things throughout the morgue evaluation process. insects that are cold tolerant or warm tolerant, will have different temperatures in the body bag. both cold and warm tolerant maggots survive by maggot mass feeding. however, cold tolerant maggots can develop in smaller masses while warm tolerant maggots require larger masses. the maggots produce metabolic heat from bacterial digestion of the flesh, which enables them to develop while stored in a cold location. maggot masses tend to move to thicker parts of the body that decrease in temperature more slowly. this is sufficient to continue maggot development. body parts with high temperatures have the greatest tissue loss from immense maggot masses. there can be extensive tissue loss in a morgue by how many maggots are present on the body and how long the body is kept in the morgue. when calculating the pmi at the autopsy, it is important to note the temperatures of the maggot masses when gathering the maggots from the body. the temperature of maggot masses in a cooler slowly decreases, which gives the minimal temperature the maggots can encounter. there may be little or no effect of the lower temperatures on insect development if the maggot mass was well established before placing the body in the cooler. in calculating the degree-days and the life cycle from one stage to another, it is important to note how many maggots are on the body, what type of species it is due to different developmental thresholds, and the temperature and time in the cooler. for instance, the development of bluebottle blowflies is suspended at 3 °c, the common temperature of a morgue’s cold storage chamber. occasionally, when a corpse is significantly infested with insects, the exterior of the bag will consist of larvae and other adult insects. every surface of the bag, especially the inside corners, must be carefully examined for insects that may have moved away from the body due to change in temperature when the body was removed from the death scene. it is critical that the entomologist work quickly and efficiently during the autopsy to prevent further insect development throughout the body. this will assist in calculating a correct pmi. if clothing is found on the corpse, it is gathered and evaluated for insect evidence that is then photographed with macro lenses. as the insects are gathered, a record is to be kept that explains which location of the body insects were found. this is essential when insect sampling is delayed until the time of autopsy. therefore, it is useful to compare crime scene photos to the autopsy photos, to see changes that occurred within that time frame. although autopsy is typically thought of as a horrific disfigurement of the human body, it is actually an adequate procedure capable of determining a legitimate pmi, assuring medical conditions, and assisting in justifying a case that may have involved violent crime. during an autopsy various tasks and procedures must take place, as well as proper collection of entomological evidence. entomological evidence is usually gathered at the crime scene while the body is in situ. this allows for a much more accurate estimation of the time of death. if the entomological evidence is not gathered before the body is removed, then the evidence may be collected at the time of the autopsy by an entomologist or a medical examiner. certain insects and their life stages, within the corpse, are examined to estimate the time of death of the individual. it is critical to specify the immature stages prior to rearing them or refrigerating the body because low temperature has different effects on various stages of immaturity. a study on the effects of refrigeration on the biometry and development of "protophormia terraenovae" shows that “10 days of refrigeration induced a decrease of the total developmental time of 56 and 18 hours for l1 [first stage larvae] and pre-pupae and an increase of 15 hours for l2 [second stage larvae].” forensic entomology has gained a strong legitimacy in recent years for introducing vital evidence into investigations worldwide. without the collection and preservation of insects, associated with a death scene, we could not properly estimate the time of death as well as other valuable information concerning the circumstances of the body. human corpses, no matter the manner of death, are aided by insect decomposers. this makes the storage of the body prior to the autopsy, a vital step in the field of forensics. the queen mary harp () or "lude harp", is a scottish clarsach currently displayed in the national museum of scotland. it is believed to date back to the 15th century, and to have originated in argyll, in south west scotland. it is one of the three oldest surviving gaelic harps, the others being the lamont harp and the trinity college harp. the queen mary harp dates from 1500 and was presented to the harper beatrix gardyn of banchory in 1563 by mary, queen of scots, while on a hunting trip. it is also said to have been adorned at one time with a gold portrait of mary which is why the harp is associated with the queen of scots and was subsequently passed down into the robertson family of lude, in perthshire. lady gardyn's son had a servant in 1588 called anthony mcewan mcchlairser ("son of the harper"), which provides a clue as to who might have played this clarsach. the last harpist to play the instrument is noted as john robertson of lude (died c. 1729); his repertory was preserved in the family and published by john bowie in 1789. all three surviving gaelic harps are considered to have been made in argyll in south-west scotland at some time in the 14th or 15th centuries. the queen mary harp is noted for being the most complete and best-preserved of all the old harps. it is covered in original and intricate carving. the forepillar or "lamhchrann" is elaborately carved with a double-headed zoomorphic figure and the instrument retains traces of pigment. some traces have been analyzed and identified as vermilion. the decoration includes a number of pieces of christian symbolism suggesting that the harp may have been made as a commission for a church or monastery. the vine-scrolls and the particular shape of the "split palmette" leaves have clear parallels with 15th century west highland grave slabs from the argyll area, suggesting that this is the time and place that the harp originated. a grave-slab in the chapel at keills in knapdale has a carving of a harp similar in appearance to the queen mary. filament is a musical group from japan that consists of otomo yoshihide and sachiko m, two of the major exponents of the electroacoustic improvisation style of music. the two played as a duo for the first time on november 5, 1995 in london, but it was not until 1997 that they began to play often together and filament became one of their main projects. at first their work together was branded as a-102, then they used both filament and a-102, and occasionally simply "duo," with no specific project name. since their united states and france concert tour of may 1998, they have used the name filament exclusively. chuang kuo-jung (; born 1960) is a former secretary-general of the ministry of education in taiwan. he served under minister tu cheng-sheng. chuang earned his bachelor's and master's degree from the national taiwan university and holds a ph.d from the ludwig maximilian university of munich. he joined the kuomintang (kmt) in 1978, but grew disillusioned and subsequently leaned towards the democratic progressive party, even though he is not a party member. chuang was responsible for renaming the chiang kai-shek memorial hall to national taiwan democracy memorial hall in 2007. he directed the ministry of education to take down the inscription on the "great centrality and perfect uprightness" () to "liberty square" (). the process was met with controversy, as it was seen by the kuomintang as part of the move by the ruling democratic progressive party to remove every trace of chiang from taiwan. chuang resigned from his post after experiencing fallout from the public and media when he made provocative comments at a rally in taichung on 16 march 2008, about the kmt's then-presidential candidate ma ying-jeou and accusations that ma's father ma ho-ling had had affairs with various women. this drew the wrath of the taiwanese public. with the 2008 presidential elections days away, democratic progressive party officials, including presidential candidate frank hsieh and minister tu cheng-sheng, publicly apologized for chuang's remarks to limit the damage. chuang e-mailed an apology, and resigned from his post as secretary of the ministry of education under intense public pressure. minister tu accepted the resignation after reservations. although kmt legislators alleged that the apology was written on behalf of chuang, ma accepted the apology. after the flood in august 2009, many taiwanese were really angry about president ma's attitude. more taiwanese think that what chuang kuo-jung said was correct. many taiwanese called him a prophet. fletcher aviation corporation was an aircraft manufacturer founded by three brothers, wendell, frank, maurice fletcher, in pasadena, california in . the initial aim of the company was to produce a wooden basic trainer aircraft (the fbt-2) that wendell had designed, but despite brief interest by the army in the type to use as a target drone, nothing came of this aircraft. after relocating to rosemead, california, later projects involved a family of related designs, including (the fu-24) with 296 produced in new zealand as an agricultural aircraft with many still operating today. during the korean war the company purchased rosemead airport from bob and jack heasley. the roughly triangular property is located south of the 10 freeway, although the airport pre-dates the freeway. the property extended from rosemead boulevard on the west to the rio hondo river basin on the south and east. in 1953, the same year the fu-24 debuted, they also produced a prototype amphibious vehicle known as the fletcher flair. the vehicle was powered by a 4-cylinder porsche 356 drivetrain, modified to make it a four-wheel drive. the company hoped to sell the vehicle to the us army but the vehicle performed poorly in the water and the army passed. purchased by aj industries, it changed its name to flair aviation in 1960, and produced aircraft fuelling equipment, including drop tanks and hose reels for inflight refuelling. moved to el monte, california, its name was changed back to fletcher and then sargent fletcher in 1964 before abandoning aircraft manufacturing in 1966, with rights to the fu-24 going to pacific aerospace. aaron krauter is a north dakota democratic-npl party politician who served in the north dakota senate, representing the 35th district from 1990 to 2002 and the 31st district from 2003 to 2009. while in the senate, krauter served as assistant minority leader from december 1996 until april 17, 1999, when he became minority leader upon senator tim mathern’s resignation. krauter was heidi heitkamp's running mate in the 2000 north dakota gubernatorial election but lost. željko matuš (born 9 august 1935 in donja stubica) is a former croatian footballer. during his club career he played for nk dinamo zagreb, sc young fellows and fc zürich. he earned 13 caps for the yugoslavia national football team, and participated in the 1960 european nations' cup and the 1962 fifa world cup. he also played a friendly match for the sr croatian national team against indonesia in 1956, which he scored a goal. the lamont harp, or clàrsach lumanach (also known as the caledonian harp or lude harp) is a scottish clarsach currently displayed in the national museum of scotland. it is believed to date back to the 15th century, and to have originated in argyll. along with the queen mary harp and the trinity college harp, it is one of the only three surviving medieval gaelic harps. the lamont harp was presented to the robertson family of lude 1460-1464 as part of a marriage dowry to charles robertson of lude (or of clune). the lamont harp was handed down in the robertson family and remained at lude in perthshire until 1805, when both the lamont harp and the queen mary harp were sent to edinburgh. in 1880 both clarsachs were deposited by a john stewart of dalguise in the national museum of edinburgh now the museum of scotland, where they remain to this day. the lamont harp stands 95 cm tall and 42.5 cm wide and is considerably larger than the 2 other medieval harps (queen mary and trinity harps), but smaller than other surviving gaelic harps. the lamont harp has very little decorative carving when compared to the other surviving examples, and was constructed with fine metal fittings, notably fox styled metal reinforcements between the pillar ("lamhchrann") and neck of the instrument, the metal head is beaten to imitate a gem setting and the square drives of the tuning pins are fitted to resemble cloves or rosebuds. the lamont harp bears the inscription “al stew(art) of clunie his harp 165(0)” although this is too late a date for the original construction of the harp this may relate to the repair. the wood has been identified as hornbeam or english walnut although the pillar has distorted over time and the t-section reinforcement is shorter than on other early gaelic harps, and does seem to have happened at the ends where the pillar is wide but thin. in 1805 both the lamont harp and queen mary harp were exhibited to the highland society of scotland and a history was commissioned and published by the author john gunn in 1870. replicas of the lamont harp have been attempted by many modern harpmakers, one of the difficulties being establishing the original form and string lengths due to the present distorted state of the instrument, and the natural desire to avoid the catastrophic fate of the original. it may be that during its lifetime the lamont harp was re-strung with heavier, possibly brass wires, in order to change its volume or tone. (see karen loomis' work, in galpin society journal) it is speculated that the original stringing used gold wire in the bass, to achieve satisfactory tone, though this is still somewhat controversial. ann heymann and others have successfully strung medieval harps with gold bass strings. replicas or reproductions have been produced by amongst others, david kortier, jay witcher, robert evans and guy flockhart, some closer than others to the original, and some with gold and silver wire strings, and are currently played by harpers such as alison kinnaird and javier sainz, and can be heard on their recordings and in the museum of scotland. student replicas based on measurements from the original are available from the historical harp society of ireland. the other chet atkins is the thirteenth studio album by american guitarist chet atkins. it is an unusual and notable album for him in that the entire album features chet playing an acoustic nylon-string (spanish) guitar and there is no country music. some of my best jokes are friends is the third studio album by george clinton. it was released in 1985 by capitol records. though it wasn't as successful as "computer games", clinton's first solo album, "some of my best jokes are friends" received favorable reviews among critics. while many former p-funk musicians are featured on the album, it also features collaborations with more contemporary performers such as doug wimbish, steve washington, and keyboardist thomas dolby. "some of my best jokes are friends" employs various producers from the p-funk musical collective, including clinton, garry shider, washington, bootsy collins, junie morrison, clinton's son tracy lewis, wimbish, and dolby. p is a 2005 thai-language horror feature film directed by paul spurrier. whilst growing up in rural thailand, a young orphan girl named dau (suangporn jaturaphut) is taught the ways of magic by her grandmother. but when the grandmother falls sick, dau is lured to bangkok to find work so that she can buy medicine. she finds herself working in a go-go bar, and her journey from naiveté to maturity is swift. she uses the magical skills her grandmother taught her to her advantage, but in doing so makes enemies within the bar. as her magic gets darker, and the consequences increasingly horrific, she gradually loses control, and something evil takes over. zenkaikon is a multi-genre convention held during spring at the lancaster county convention center in lancaster, pennsylvania. the convention was formerly based around king of prussia, pennsylvania (a philadelphia suburb). zenkaikon's name is a combination of zentrancon and kosaikon, created when they merged in 2006. the convention typically offers anime and live action screenings, amv's, artist alley, concerts, cosplay masquerade, costume competitions, dances, dealers room, formal costume ball, game shows, iron cosplay, karaoke, larp, live bands, maid cafe, manga library, panels, tabletop gaming, vendors, video gaming, and workshops. in 2015, the charity auction benefited the lymphoma research foundation and raised over $1,800. the foundation was chosen due to the death of guest cj henderson from lymphoma. in 2017, the charity auction benefited ocean conservancy. in 2018, the charity auction benefited the ablegamers foundation. 2019's charity was the arch street center. zenkaikon was formed in 2006 by the merger of two philadelphia-area events, zentrancon and kosaikon. in 2008, zenkaikon became a two-day convention. in 2009 due to significant attendance growth, zenkaikon moved to the larger valley forge radisson hotel (same complex as its former location the scanticon) and capped attendance at 1,500 attendees per day. in 2010, zenkaikon announced it would become a three-day convention, move to a spring date (skipping 2010), and increase convention space by using both the valley forge convention center and scanticon hotel and conference center (same complex). the changes were made to improve weather, allow for better preparation, and increase staff. during the convention in 2011, zenkaikon and its attendees raised $3750 for the american red cross japanese earthquake and pacific tsunami relief fund. due to construction of the valley forge casino resort at the valley forge convention center, zenkaikon 2012 was held at a new location, the greater philadelphia expo center at oaks, and reduced to two days. zenkaikon moved to the lancaster county convention center for 2013 and returned to being a three-day event. the convention returned to the lancaster county convention center in 2014 and occupied every (four) floor. zenkaikon returned to the convention center in 2015, and 2016 for its 10th anniversary. in 2017, the convention used tellus360's temple room for additional space. kosaikon was an anime convention held from 2003-2005 on the campus of villanova university. the convention featured anime screenings, artists' alley, an artist's gallery, cosplay contest, and video gaming with tournaments. zentrancon was an anime and science fiction convention held on october 16, 2005 at the rotunda, university of pennsylvania. it was created by members of the delaware anime society. the convention featured autograph sessions, costume contests, dealers, film screenings, raffles, tabletop gaming, and video game tournaments. zenkaikon staff provided anime and asian content to america's video games expo 2008 (vgxpo) at the pennsylvania convention center, in philadelphia, pennsylvania on november 21–23, 2008. content included screenings, panels, gaming tournaments, and karaoke. zenkaikon returned to vgxpo 2009 on october 9–11, 2009 and provided two screening rooms for anime. zenkaikon hosted an cosplay fashion show in fairmount park during sakura sunday at the 2012 subaru cherry blossom festival of greater philadelphia. dragomir nikolić was a serbian football manager. he was joint head coach of the yugoslavia national football team together with aleksandar tirnanić and ljubomir lovrić from 1959 to 1961. the ss "irish oak" was an irish-operated steamship which was sunk in the north atlantic during world war ii by a german submarine. as the west neris she had been built in the us and operated by the united states shipping board. in 1941, she was chartered by irish shipping limited, to transport wheat and fertilizer from north america to ireland. sailing as a clearly marked neutral vessel, not in convoy, she was nonetheless torpedoed and sunk by on 15 may 1943 midway between north america and ireland. the crew were rescued. at the time there were conflicting reports that she "had not" and allegations that she "had" warned a nearby convoy of the presence of a u-boat. the british nationality of her captain became an issue in the irish general election of june 1943, there were diplomatic exchanges between the united states and ireland, and questions raised in the british house of commons. in germany, the u-boat's captain received a mild reprimand. southwestern shipbuilding of san pedro, california, was organized in 1918 to build cargo ships for the united states shipping board. as yard no. 11, the ship was built to design 1019, launched on 24 august 1918 and completed in december 1919. her displacement was 5,589 tons, length , with a beam of , and a depth of . propelled by a triple expansion steam engine built by the llewellyn iron works of los angeles, with cylinders of , and bore and stroke, the ship could make . west neris had been built for the united states maritime commission (usmc) and operated by the united states shipping board (ussb), her port of registry being new orleans. in 1928, she was sold to the mississippi steamship company. she was sold back to the ussb in 1933. with the abolition of the ussb, she was transferred to the united states shipping board bureau in 1935, and laid up in new orleans. during this period the ship was neglected and the condition of her engine deteriorated. in 1937 she was transferred to the united states maritime commission. on 26 september 1941 she was chartered to irish shipping ltd, through united states lines at £3,245 per month. at the outbreak of world war ii ireland had very few ships, and the united states instructed its ships not to enter the "war zone". acting for the irish government, minister frank aiken negotiated the charter of two oil-burning steamships from the united states maritime commission's reserve fleet. these were the "west neris" and the "west hematite". two irish crews travelled to new orleans to take over the ships, which they did on 9 september 1941. the "west neris" was renamed "irish oak" and "west hematite" was renamed . both were chartered by government owned irish shipping limited (isl) and managed by the "limerick steamship company", with their port of registry changed to dublin. the "irish oak" was captained by matthew moran of wexford; the "irish pine" by frank dick of islandmagee, with samuel mcnamara of belfast as chief engineer. destined to carry wheat and phosphate fertilizer, both ships sailed initially from new orleans for st john's in october 1941, to take on cargoes of wheat bound for ireland. since insurers such as lloyd's of london charged higher premiums for ships not in convoy, the "irish oak" and the "irish pine" were painted war-time camouflage in preparation for sailing in-convoy. "irish pine" joined convoy sc 56 and arrived in dublin on 11 december 1941. in contrast, "irish oak" experienced a number of serious mishaps and setbacks: chief engineer r. marsh, of dublin, suffered a heart attack and was hospitalised in new orleans; another engineer, o'keefe of dún laoghaire, was severely burned in a boiler room blow-back and hospitalised in st john; and a locally recruited greek replacement engineer caused difficulties, was reported to the canadian authorities by the captain, and jailed. initially "irish oak" sailed with convoy sc 52, which departed from sydney, nova scotia on 29 october 1941. on 3 november the convoy was attacked by and and lost four ships; it turned back for sydney and arrived on 5 november. but neglect had left the "irish oak" in poor condition. ships from sc 52 were merged with convoy sc 53 and "irish oak" sailed with it, but had to return to sydney. her next attempt was with convoy sc 55, which departed sydney on 16 november 1941 and arrived at liverpool on 5 december, but again engine problems struck and she was towed to saint john, new brunswick. "irish oak" remained in st. john for four months while efforts were made to repair her engine. eventually she had to be towed to boston for repairs. the voyage from new orleans to dublin - including repairs - took nine months: "irish oak" berthed in dublin on 6 july 1942. the crew of the "irish oak" became acutely uneasy after her engine failed and she was left behind by sc 55, dead in the water, to wait for a tugboat; this, coupled with the experiences of other irish ships, especially in og 71, the "nightmare convoy" in august 1941, resolved irish crews and owners to sail as neutrals, out-of-convoy. thereafter irish ships were clearly marked and fully lit, usually sailing out-of-convoy on a direct course, and they always answered sos calls for assistance. irish ships rescued 534 men; yet lost 20% of their seamen. irish shipping limited built up its fleet to 15 ships. two ships were lost, "irish oak", and "irish pine", on which 33 lives were lost. the isl ships alone saved some 166 lives. at 04:44 on 14 october 1942, in very bad weather, "irish oak" received a distress call from british ship "stornest", a straggler from convoy ons 136, torpedoed by . "irish oak" answered the call and altered course. six minutes later "stornest" radioed "irish oak" that they were abandoning ship in life-rafts, having lost their lifeboats in the heavy seas. "irish oak" continued to relay "stormest"s sos and spent ten hours searching for survivors in a westerly gale. the rescue tug "adherent", the anti-submarine trawler "drangey" and two corvettes from convoy ons 137 joined the search, to no avail. "stornest's" crew of 29 and ten gunners were lost at sea. a week later captain matthew moran was fatally injured while boarding at the dublin quayside, when the gangway collapsed beneath him. he was replaced by captain eric jones (see crew). on 14 may 1943, "irish oak" was "en route" from tampa, florida, to dublin with a cargo of 8,000 tons of phosphate fertiliser. smoke from an allied convoy was visible ahead in the distance; in general irish ships were sailing out-of-convoy at this time. at 2.23pm german u-boat came alongside. there was no contact or exchange between the vessels. they continued alongside each other all afternoon. at nightfall "irish oak" turned on her lights, in accordance with her neutral status. apparently satisfied, "u-650" departed during the night. "irish oak" continued sailing astern of convoy sc 129. as it happened, on the same day "u-642" reported that an aircraft carrier (the escort carrier hms "biter" with the 5th escort group) was joining the convoy; in fear of the aircraft, the stalking u-boats were ordered to "break off operations against convoy". as dawn broke next morning, 15 may 1943, a torpedo hit "irish oak" at 8:19am (12:19 german summer time). two torpedoes were launched, one missed, the other struck her port side and exploded. at the time it was uncertain which submarine had launched the torpedoes. its periscope remained visible as lifeboats were lowered. the submarine waited until the lifeboats were well clear before firing a coup de grâce at 9:31 am. "irish plane", "irish rose" and "irish ash" responded to the sos. the survivors were located by "irish plane" at 4:20 pm. "irish oak" lies in position , almost midway between newfoundland and ireland. the survivors landed at cobh on 19 may. they were welcomed by samuel roycroft, a director of both the limerick steamship company and of irish shipping limited. they lunched at the imperial hotel, cork. on arrival in dublin on 21 may, they were welcomed by peadar doyle, the lord mayor, and hosted to lunch at leinster house, home of dáil éireann (ireland's parliament), on 24 may. it was common practice for crews' wages to be stopped when a ship was sunk. famed labour leader james larkin raised the issue of the survivors' treatment in the dáil. citing the crew member who was told by the labour exchange to 'go and get his record card', which was lost when "irish oak" sank, he suggested that the dáil ask the german consul-general to send a submarine to retrieve it. at the time it was not known which submarine had sunk "irish oak". the survivors knew only that it was not "u-650". in the house of commons sir william davidson called for a formal protest, because "irish oak" had not warned the convoy, and douglas lloyd savory called for an end of coal exports to ireland. no official action was taken: ireland was exporting food to britain at the time. also, paul emrys-evans revealed that the convoy knew about the u-boat; the british stance was that, as it already knew of the presence of both "irish oak" and "u-607", there was no need for "irish oak" to have warned the convoy. during world war i the south arklow lightvessel "guillemot", operated by the commissioners of irish lights, had given warning of a u-boat. in consequence on 28 march 1917 "uc-65" surfaced, ordered the crew into their lifeboat, and sank the "guillemot". against this background the sinking of "irish oak" became a hotly debated issue. the irish government's stance was that "irish oak" had "not" warned the allied convoy of a u-boat presence, as stated by éamon de valera in the dáil, and by irish shipping limited. de valera went on to say that it was "...no business of irish ships to give any information to anyone". a rumour to the contrary was picked up by the irish labour party. james everett asked: "was information given to the british convoy that a submarine was sighted the night before?" discussion in the dáil during the run-up to the general election, focused on the possibility that a warning "had" been transmitted and demands were made to know the nationality of the captain (a british subject): luke duffy, secretary of the labour party, said that the "... government was guilty of duplicity and near belligerency behind a facade of neutrality. they had placed foreign nationals on the bridge of irish ships ...". the party issued an advertisement condemning the "criminal conduct of the fianna fáil government in sending brave men to their doom on the "irish oak"". responding to allegations that "irish oak" had acted in such a way as to endanger her neutral status, irish shipping limited stated: "...whether ... any information had been conveyed to a british convoy that a submarine had been sighted. the company states in the most explicit manner that there is no foundation whatever for the suggestion contained in the question. no such message was sent. seán macentee (fianna fáil party) placed a counter advertisement in the irish times titled "licence to sink," saying that the labour party sought to justify the sinking of the "irish oak"; "but for these ships many of our people might have been hungry, would have been idle"..."if our people were hungry and idle they would be more ready to listen to their pernicious doctrines". after the election william davin complained of "the unfounded allegations and the slanderous and libellous statements made against members of this {"sic" labour} party"..."had the audacity to charge members of this party, during the recent election campaign, with having condoned the sinking of the "irish oak". could anything be more scandalous, or more untrue?" although labour increased its representation and de valera's fianna fáil party lost seats in the general election, éamon de valera remained in power with the support of the farmers' party. it was not known at the time which submarine had sunk "irish oak", only that it was not "u-650". irish shipping limited was negotiating a lease of the ss "wolverine" from the united states. the u.s. state department intervened, asking why ireland had not protested to germany for the sinking. the irish replied that they protested other sinkings when the attacker was known. they protested the attacks on the colliers and . they referred to the attack on the by two unidentified aircraft, initially denied by the british but admitted when shell fragments of british manufacture were found. no further american ships were leased or sold to ireland. not until after the war was it learned had sunk "irish oak". this action, and "u-607"'s report, were not well received. her captain, oberleutnant zur see wolf jeschonnek, claimed "irish oak" was a q-ship with false irish markings, sailing without lights. "the second lieutenant excused the sinking by saying that "irish oak" was obviously a "q" ship. he alleged that she was sailing at night without lights, zigzagging, and travelling at fourteen knots, although she appeared capable of barely half that speed." flag officer u-boats said it ought not to have happened, but could be attributed to an understandable mistake by an eager captain. "the precise observance of irish neutrality and of all flag officer u-boats' strict orders in this connection is the duty of all u-boat captains and is in the most immediate and pressing interests of the german reich".

this in turn was followed by grassland, with pollen of water-lilies and pondweeds blown from glacial meltwater lakes. the earliest holocene forest was fir, followed by mixed pine and oak, with a climax forest of beech and oak, including "quercus ilex". the surface profiles have been transformed since the region was first deforested in roman times, as settlers worked outwards from strips flanking the roman roads — the via cassia, the via amerina and the via flaminia — which had been struck through the forest. in the deforested slopes, streams with even moderate flow have cut deeply eroded gullies and valleys in the geologically very recent soft tuff and volcanic ash. a sudden increase in organic sediments in strata corresponding to the third century bce records this erosion following agrarian deforestation, which, far downstream, would initiate the tiber's delta. thereafter the palynological record attests many cultivated plants, and, significantly, nettles, the weed of disturbed, untended corners that follows temperate agriculture everywhere. by the third and fourth centuries ce very little of the primeval forest survived. to the romans of the republic, the forest was as much feared as the trackless hercynian forest would be when they encountered that. in 310 bce the roman senate, even after the rout of the etruscans at sutrium, charged the consul fabius maximus rullianus not to enter this woodland in pursuit of the etruscans, and when it emerged that he had done so, all rome was struck with terror. the silva formed a natural barrier between ancient rome and etruria. "don'cha go 'way mad" is a popular song composed by illinois jacquet and jimmy mundy, with lyrics written by al stillman. it was originally recorded by illinois jacquet and his orchestra as an instrumental on april 6, 1949 as "black velvet". al stillman later added lyrics and harry james recorded it as "don'cha go 'way mad" on december 12, 1949 (released in 1950) on columbia 38682. greece and ellinikí radiofonía tileórasi (ert) chose to host a national selection with the winner being chosen an "expert" jury. christos callow & wave were chosen with "horis skopo" and placed 19th at eurovision. the final took place on 23 march 1990 at the ert tv studios in athens and was hosted by olina xenopoulou. the songs were presented as video clips and the winning song was chosen by a panel of "experts".

specifically for its position high above the thames. badly damaged by fire in 1795, a new house was completed in 1868 by james knowles, unusually modelled on the italian villa style but with a domed hall rather than an open courtyard. king george iii and later, queen victoria were both frequent visitors, with baron boston building the hedsor folly to commemorate king george's victory at the

and collaboration between ken tamplin and lanny cordola. the band was active from 1990 to 1995, released 2 albums and an ep, and was signed to intense records and essential records respectively. the band's original lineup was ken tamplin, lanny cordola, brian bromberg, and ken mary. after the first album ken tamplin departed and phillip bardowell took over vocal duties. chuck wright would later replace bromberg for the magdalen releases. magdallan's lineup led to the group being referred to as a supergroup. ken tamplin was well known for his work in shout. lanny cordola, chuck wright, ken mary were previously well known for being members of the group house of lords. the band's first release, "big bang", was notable as one of the most expensive christian albums produced by that time, with a budget reported as being $250,000, and the album faced some criticism for being overproduced. nevertheless, "big bang" was nominated for one gma dove award for best metal/hard rock album in 1992, but did not win. after the first album was released, tamplin left the band. tamplin commented that he felt the need for a fresh start after he learned that intense records had planned to shelve the "big bang" album after two years of hard work. after tamplin's departure, the studio project of magdallan was turned into a full band and thus the name was changed from magdallan to magdalen. after ken tamplin left the band, the name was changed to magdalen for the second release "revolution mind" and "the dirt" ep. in 1999 a compilation album, "end of the age" was released under the old name spelling. the significance of the name change is signification of the difference between the studio project and the band. magdallan is the name of the studio project, and magdalen is the name of the band that continued after ken tamplins departure. cjcq-fm is a canadian radio station that broadcasts an adult contemporary format at 97.9 fm in north battleford, saskatchewan branded as q98. its

15-year-old vendor at the 1885 seymour fair. after not experiencing success selling meatballs, he had an idea. knowing that the visitors to the fair would be hungry after gazing at the exhibits but

chí minh city museum (vietnamese language: "bảo tàng thành phố hồ chí minh") is a historical site and museum in hồ chí minh city (saigon), vietnam. the museum is situated at the corner of lý tự trọng and nam kỳ khởi nghĩa streets, located on 2 hectares of land, near the independence palace. construction of the palace began in 1885 and completed in 1890, and was designed by french architect alfred foulhoux to house the museum of commercial trade, exhibiting products and goods of southern vietnam. however, the building soon became the residence of the governor of cochinchina, starting with henri éloi danel (1850 - 1898). in 1945, control of the palace changed hands several times. after the japanese imperial army toppled the colonial regime of french indochina on march 9, french governor ernest thimothée hoeffel was arrested, and the palace became the residence for japanese governor yoshio minoda. on august 14, the japanese handed over the palace to its puppet empire of vietnam government, to be used as the residence of lieutenant general nguyễn văn sâm. on august 25, the việt minh seized, arresting nguyễn văn sâm and secretary of the office of the lieutenant general hồ văn ngà. after, the building became the headquarters of the provisional administrative committee of southern vietnam, later renamed the "people's committee of southern vietnam". on september 10, lt. col. b. w. roe (from the british military mission) occupied the palace and made it the allied mission headquarters, evicting the "people's committee". on october 5, the building was used by general leclerc as the temporary headquarters of the high commission for the french republic in indochina. after admiral georges thierry d'argenlieu from the high commission selected norodom palace to be the commission's new location, the palace was used as leclerc's office, this time as the official headquarters of the commissioner of the french republic in southern vietnam. after the french reconquest of indochina, on june 2, 1948 the french government handed over the building to the provisional government of the state of vietnam, establishing its headquarters there. it was later transformed into the palace of the premier, serving as official residence of the premier of the state of vietnam, starting with premier trần văn hữu. on january 9, 1950, a large protest of over 6000 students and educational instructors demanded the release of students arrested for advocating vietnamese independence. at 13:00, premier trần văn hữu ordered the police to quash the protest, arresting 150 people, injuring 30, and 1 student, trần văn ơn from petrus ký high school, died from his injuries. trần văn ơn's funeral on january 12, 1950, had 25,000 attendees. from june 26 to september 7, 1954, this palace was used as the temporary official residence of the prime minister (ngô đình diệm), since norodom palace was still occupied by french high commissioner gen. paul ely. bảo đại renamed the palace to gia long palace, and its street was renamed gia long street (from la grandìere). this was also the last residence of president of the republic of vietnam ngô đình diệm, beginning 27 february 1962 after norodom palace was bombed and partially destroyed by mutinous air force pilots. diệm had been prime minister since 1954, and president since 1955, but originally lived in the independence palace until it was bombed by two mutinous pilots of the republic of vietnam air force. as a result, diệm had to relocate, and ordered a new palace to be built, moving to gia long palace in the interim. it was the last place diệm worked before his assassination on 2 november 1963 in a coup d'etat. the supreme court of the republic of vietnam (tối cao pháp viện việt nam cộng hòa) was housed in the palace, from october 31, 1966 to april 30, 1975, the fall of saigon. after the north vietnamese communist invasion of south vietnam, on 12 august 1978 the ho chi minh city people's committee ordered that the former supreme court be used as the ho chi minh city revolutionary museum (bảo tàng cách mạng thành phố hồ chí minh), a propaganda museum, later renamed to its current name on 13 december 1999. the 2-floored palace building covers an area over 1700 m², using classical baroque architecture with european and oriental influences. the flooring, staircases and halls were european-styled, while the roof was oriental-inspired. surrounding the palace is a trapezoid-shaped flower garden, with 4 pathways. the front face of the roof is decorated with grotesques. other exterior structural designs include symbolic chickens representing daytime and owls for nighttime and ring-enclosed white flowers. many other motifs embossed on the roof is a combination of greek mythological symbols, iconic plants and tropical animals such as lizards and birds flying or expanding its wings. diệm commissioned the construction of three extremely deep tunnels leading from the palace to other parts of the city so that he and important government officials/military figures could escape in the event of a coup. during the 1963 coup d'etat, diệm is widely believed to have used one of these escape routes to escape the siege on the palace, which caused considerable damage. he fled to a supporter's house in cholon but was captured and executed a day later. the successor presidents still worked there until the completion of re-built independence palace, in 1966. the tunnels were 2.2 m high, with cast reinforced concrete (170 kg of iron / 1 m of concrete). walls were 1 m thick, with 6 iron vault doors for entry and exit. the tunnels had 2 downward stairs, leading to a basement with 6 rooms totalling 1392.3 m², which included conference rooms, offices, bathrooms, electrical rooms. the presidential office and presidential adviser's offices were equipped with battery banks for uninterruptible power supply, portable radios, rca transceivers. there are two exit tunnels that run towards le thanh ton street as well as six ventilation holes and numerous sewage drainages. ernest mesmin lucien cabo (15 december 1932 in sainte-rose, guadeloupe – 28 november 2019 in basse-terre) was the

filipinos in germany consist of people from various walks of life, including migrant workers in the medical sector and marine-based industries, as well as a number of women married to german men they met through international marriage agencies. the history of filipinos in germany goes back to the 19th century; national hero josé rizal lived in germany for some time and finished writing his famous novel "noli me tangere" while living there, and published it with the assistance of professor ferdinand blumentritt; the house where rizal lived in berlin sports a commemorative plaque, and efforts are underway to purchase the building from its owner. mass migration from the philippines to germany began in the late 1960s, with large numbers of filipina nurses taking up employment in german hospitals; however, with the onset of the 1973 oil crisis, german recruitment of "gastarbeiter" largely came to a halt. immigration through marriage began in the 1980s, with roughly 1,000 women a year applying at the philippine embassy for a certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage up until 1990. reliable estimates on the number of filipinos in germany are difficult to obtain. the german embassy to the philippines estimated that 35,000 philippine citizens worked in germany as of 2008, and that another 30,000 had naturalised as german citizens. roughly 1,300 filipinos acquire german citizenship each year. official figures of the federal statistical office of germany showed 23,171 filipinos residing in the country as of 2003; that number did not include filipinos naturalised as german citizens, nor those who resided in the country illegally. a 2007 study by scholars of the philippine migration research network suggested that the number of illegal residents might be as high as 40,000. however, the philippine consulate-general claims that the number of filipinos illegally residing in germany is very small. as a result of the early female-dominated migration of nurses and international marriage agencies in west germany, the filipino community is heavily gender-imbalanced, with nearly 3.5 women for every man, according to the federal statistical office of germany. only in hamburg is this ratio reversed. filipinos in germany have established more than one hundred civic organisations. karaoke contests are a particularly popular form of social gathering. church-based volunteer work is also widespread and has been particularly successful in encouraging social engagement by female migrants, aimed at assisting the local filipino community as well as raising money for charity projects in the philippines. filipinos are well-integrated into german society, viewed by their neighbours as hardworking, skillful and peaceful. according to a 1997 survey by the netherlands' universiteit van tilburg, 75% feel they have no problems with cultural or linguistic adjustment. leland college was founded in 1870 as a college for blacks in new orleans, louisiana, but was open to all races. after its original buildings burned in 1923, it was relocated near baker, louisiana. the school closed in 1960 because of financial difficulties. the area of the baker campus, comprising four contributing properties and one non-contributing building, was listed on the national register of historic places on november 10, 1982. the college facilities were already derelict at the time of listing. in the early 21st century, only the ruins of the two dormitories can be seen faintly through trees. frame classroom, the president's house, and the concrete classrom all disappeared at some time. "did i shave my legs for this?" is a song co-written and recorded by american country music artist deana carter. it was released in november 1997 as the sixth single and title track from the album "did i shave my legs for this?". the song reached #25 on the "billboard" hot country singles & tracks chart. the song was written by carter and rhonda hart. the song humorously describes about a marriage that is obviously opposite of one in a traditional manner, particularly because the wife -- the female narrator -- fantasizes of a luxurious lifestyle. the wife explains that, after finishing a supposed hectic workday, she undergoes a feminine makeover (supposedly at a local spa). she returns to a deteriorating mobile home, where she and her husband reside, with high expectations that her husband will provide her a romantically intimate evening, only to find herself unenthusiastically preparing supper for him while he watches television and consumes beer and clearly not caring to display any sympathy towards his wife. christian mcleer, an american composer is a graduate of the juilliard conservatory pre-college, and manhattan school of music. at the age of fourteen he received

malaysia and the united states of america. the treaty aims to liberalise each other markets to parties of the agreement and directly encourage trade between the two countries. at the time of proposal in 2005, the us was malaysia's largest trading partner while malaysia is the 10th largest trading partner for the us. negotiation began in june 2005. the malaysian delegation was led by then minister of international trade and industry, rafidah abdul aziz and the us delegation was led by united states trade representative rob portman and his deputy, ambassador karan k. bhatia. on january 2009, international trade and industry minister muhyiddin yassin announced that negotiations on a free trade agreement have been suspended temporarily. this action was made as a protest against the american support of an israeli invasion of gaza but he had not yet officially informed the cabinet regarding this. he had been persuaded by the prime minister to brief the cabinet on his decision. the negotiations hanged in the balance as us gave priority to regional economic association, particularly the trans-pacific strategic partnership. several rounds were held to discuss matters that proved to be sticky for both sides. the us was working to achieve an agreement before the trade promotion authority lapsed in july 2007; the tpa is an authority granted by the us congress to the us president to fast track free trade negotiations between the us and foreign states. despite the deadlines, both the us and the malaysian sides were unable to move forward and hence, negotiation is still ongoing. the issues affecting the negotiation are high tariffs imposed on imported us goods compared to imported malaysian goods, restriction of import of motor vehicles into malaysia, government procurement based on new economic policy which favours the local malays, export subsidies, intellectual property rights, pharmaceutical, barriers in various services, investment requirements which is again related to the nep and transparency in governance. the free trade agreement has received opposition, particularly from the consumers' association of penang. the cap was rallying for the end of negotiations, saying that it would have serious impact on the country on many issues, such as: william hatch (d) is a member of the new hampshire house of representatives. he resides in gorham, new hampshire, and serves as vice chair of the house's ways and means committee. he represents the area of coos county, district 03, which includes the towns of gorham and shelburne, as well as some

terminus of the midland and great northern joint railway (mg&n) line from melton constable. the station became well-used, with services to cromer and through-carriages to a range of destinations including peterborough and leicester. the station was badly bombed in the baedeker raids of 1942 when the main building was largely destroyed. the station was further damaged, along with st philips church, when a badly damaged usaf b24 liberator bomber was deliberately crashed there to avoid greater loss of life. thereafter, the station operated from "temporary" buildings constructed on the site. it was closed to passengers on 2 march 1959 along with most of the midland & great northern system, although the station remained in use for goods traffic until 1969. the old norwich city station stood where today's roundabout is situated on the inner link road a147 which links barn road with st crispins road close to anglia square. the amateur group friends of norwich city station (foncs) has been set up to preserve what is left of the station and surrounding buildings. current work is focused on the platform area. the platform 1 wall has been discovered and the bay area has been cleared of undergrowth. the hope for the future is to uncover all the railway related parts to the area and turn it into a memorial garden. they are also documenting all those who served the station. interpretation boards will be erected, some illustrating old photographs of the site. m&gn benches are hoped to also accompany these. laurent lolesio fuahea (5 september 1927 – 2 december

repatriated to the philippines due to these issues. filipino domestic servants in kuwait are the most expensive overseas servants that can be hired, due to a minimum wage requirement by the filipino government as well as high costs from recruitment agencies. minimum monthly wage of a filipino maid is kwd 110 per month (us$365), with an initial recruitment cost of kwd 850 (us$2825), with the price

and his allies in combat. topo first appears in "adventure comics" vol 1 #229 and was created by ramona fradon. as of current continuity there have been three different versions of the character which bear the name topo. the first version is an intelligent octopus who is usually seen babysitting aquababy to the best of his ability in the pre-"crisis" continuity. there is a second topo who becomes an ally to the second aquaman. he is an anthropomorphic squid-boy from dyss, who helps aquaman open portals throughout the ocean. all versions of the character has assisted aquaman in his adventures and also appeared assisting other heroes as well. the original topo was born in or near the undersea continent of atlantis where he became a favored pet of aquaman. the creature appears to be gifted with an exceptional intelligence compared to that of an average octopus, and possesses superior dexterity and problem solving skills as well. topo once demonstrated his skill with a bow and arrow, and was even known to have developed a keen ear for music; supposedly he was able to play several musical instruments simultaneously. the second version of topo appears in "aquaman: sword of atlantis". this version is more humanoid in form, but still has many octopus-like abilities. his skin is grey with spots, and he has three fingers on each hand. his lower facial features, including mouth, are hidden behind six short tentacles. when mera, tempest and cal durham need to return to sub diego, he leads the group to hidden hatches that act as portals. aquaman soon joins the group and topo offers to lead them on a trip, but they are surprised by baron gargos who was at the behest of the deep church to kill them. after the fight with gargos, they finally reach sub diego and notice that the city was dominated by black manta, who killed the local police and took alonzo malrey hostage to lure orin. realizing that it is not the original aquaman, black manta orders his goons to shoot them all, topo takes position and squirts ink as a distraction so they have a chance to escape. in september 2011, "the new 52" rebooted dc's continuity. in this new timeline, topo is reintroduced as a fearsome sea monster, a gigantic creature that is part octopus and part crab that only aquaman can summon with a special conch. aquaman summoned it to deal with the scavenger, and uses his full telepathic power to unleash the creature on the scavenger's fleet. however, this version of topo is found to be too intelligent to be controlled by aquaman's telepathy; while the creature managed to destroy the enemy submarines, the strain of mentally commanding topo causes aquaman to suffer from nosebleeding before passing out of consciousness. topo appears in dc super friends, tiny titans and scooby-doo team up comics. the pacific 8 intercollegiate hockey conference (pac-8) is a collegiate men's ice hockey conference that competes in division 2 of the american collegiate hockey association. the pac-8

be a missionary. he studied and taught at the college in quebec, and then spent a year at sillery studying algonquin (1685–86). father gravier carried out important tasks for the jesuits in new

hartford, connecticut. it is the most extensive of dictionaries of the illinois language compiled by french missionaries. the work was finally edited and published in 2002 by carl masthay, providing

along the gulf coast. there he befriended explorer jean-baptiste le moyne de bienville, later the founder of new orleans, who impressed him with his knowledge of indian languages. gravier left the colony and mobile in february 1702 to return to the illinois mission. after continuing work among the illiniwek, in 1705 gravier was named superior of the illinois mission. that fall during a time of tension, he was shot with an arrow and wounded by a peoria warrior. although gravier sought treatment, the wound became infected and long caused him problems, through a return to mobile, alabama, then a trip to france. in february 1708, he returned from france to mobile, where he died april 16. lilak may refer to: selby tigers was a punk band that was signed to hopeless records. the band was formed in 1998 and chose its name as a combination of selby avenue, a main thoroughfare in saint paul (minnesota), and a radio broadcast about a sri lankan army called the tamil tigers. the punk quartet adopted the name selby tigers as a nod to their hometown turf on selby avenue, a high-school team mascot, and the tamil tigers. these eclectic influences are reflected in their music, which combines bratty teenage vocals, snarling guitars, and a thick-necked rhythm section. after a number of years playing in bands that, for one reason or another failed to graduate from bars and basements, guitarist arzu "d2" gokcen, her husband and second guitarist nathan grumdahl, bass player nicole gerber, and drummer dave gatchell formed the selby tigers. after the band recorded and released their eponymous debut ep in 1998, gerber left the band and was replaced by dave gardner, a local recording engineer and former member of impetus inter. gardner created the alter ego of the loveably clueless, stereotypical frenchman sammy g. after a number of lengthy tours, the band released their ep south then west. the selby tigers eps and touring ethic caught the attention of southern californian punk label hopeless records, who signed the band in early 2000. in the spring of that year, hopeless records released a 7" teaser single for their lp charm city, which followed later that summer. the band toured with the alkaline trio, the anniversary, and rocket from the crypt. selby tigers broke up in 2003 and arzu gokcen went on to form pop-punk band so fox. grumdahl also went on tour for the monarques, releasing an ep with them. he is currently in with the dynamiters with dave gardner. after the end of so fox, gokcen went on to form spider fighter, half fiction, strut and shock and pink mink. dave gatchell is currently in the tokyo band 1000s of cats. the rain at night is a 1979 south korean film directed by park chul-soo. at the 1980 baeksang arts awards, park was

at a film distributor's office before making his directorial debut in 1929 with "njai dasima", the first of three literary adaptations that he directed. his other three films, two of which were made for tan's film, were original stories. in 1941 lie was a founding member of the standard film company, which closed in 1942. according to bachtiar effendi, an actor and later film director who had worked with lie several times, lie had worked at a film distributor's office before joining tan's, handling the distribution and sometimes editing of hollywood imports. the indonesian film historian misbach yusa biran credits this as giving lie a wider worldview and more modern sensibilities while directing. in 1929 lie directed his first film, "njai dasima", for tan's film. the two-part film, which followed a woman who was tricked into leaving her wealthy lover by a "delman" driver, was a critical success; it was lie's first adaptation of a literary work, having been derived from the novel "tjerita njai dasima" ("story of njai dasima"), written by g. francis in 1896. this was followed by a sequel, "nancy bikin pembalesan" ("nancy takes revenge") in 1930, which followed dasima's adult daughter nancy in a quest to avenge her mother's death; this work was also a success. according to biran, around this time lie developed an interest in ethnography and began inserting documentation of cultural habits. later that year lie directed "si ronda" for tan's, an action film which told of a bandit named ronda. lie directed another novel adaptation, the two-part "melati van agam" ("jasmine of agam"), in 1931; the original work had been written by parada harahap under the pen name "swan pen" in 1923. no information is available on lie's activities between 1932 and 1941. he left tan's in 1932, reportedly as his approach no longer matched tan's low-class target audience and caused the works to go over-budget; the company itself was closed between 1932 and 1938. lie resurfaced in 1941 when he joined with the tan brothers – the owners of tan's film – to establish standard film company, under the management of the british-trained touw teng iem. lie directed two of the company's three productions. these two films were "ikan doejoeng" ("mermaid") and "siti noerbaja". "ikan doejoeng" was an original production which followed a girl who becomes a mermaid after having to choose between a man she loves and a man she is forced to marry, while "siti noerbaja" was an adaptation of marah rusli's 1923 novel of the same name which follows a young woman – who is killed by her greedy husband – and her ex-lover – who avenges her death. the last one, "selendang delima" ("the pomegranate shawl"; 1941), was directed by the former dramatist henry l. duarte before standard closed in 1942 following the japanese invasion. all as director grace min was the defending champion, having won the event in 2011, but did not compete. wildcard samantha crawford defeated twelfth seed anett kontaveit in the final 7–5, 6–3, to win her first junior grand slam title. shahbazan (, also romanized as shahbāzān) is a village in mazu rural district, alvar-e garmsiri district, andimeshk county, khuzestan province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 91, in 27 families. shahbazvand (, also romanized as shahbāzvand; also known as shahbāzān) is a village in helilan rural district, helilan district, chardavol county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 291, in 64 families. shahrak-e emam (, also romanized as shahrak-e emām) is a village in helilan rural district, helilan district, chardavol county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 442, in 95 families. sar cham () is a village in helilan rural district, helilan district, chardavol county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 502, in 98 families. battlepug is a webcomic written and illustrated by mike norton, colored by allen passalaqua, and lettered by chris crank. norton created the characters for "battlepug" in a rush to create a t-shirt for ifanboy.com. in february 2011, norton launched his webcomic, "battlepug". a dark-humored, fantasy-genred revenge story, "battlepug" is about the last surviving member of the kinmundian tribe known only as "the warrior", his steed, the "battlepug", and their traveling companion, scrabbly. the story is narrated by moll, who recounts the tale to her talking dogs, a pug named mingo and a french bulldog named colfax. the first year of strips was collected into a hardcover by dark horse comics and released july 4, 2012. in mid-2012, mike norton won the best digital comic eisner award for "battlepug". every friday, norton released pictures of "battlepug" readers and their pugs in "friday battlepuggage". the protagonist of the story goes by simply the warrior. as a boy, he was the sole survivor of an attack by a giant baby seal orchestrated by a mysterious man riding a tiger called catwulf on the people of kinmundy, it claimed the lives of the warrior's mother and father. he was then captured by a parody of santa claus and christmas elves and forced to fight and fuel the fires of the toy workshop. eventually, he was allowed to get revenge on the seal and the factory and set about on his quest for revenge on the mysterious man. the warrior is clearly influenced by works like conan the barbarian and other fantasy barbarians. the warrior's trusty, but dimwitted and slobbery steed is a giant pug. at first, the warrior is very reluctant to be partnered with the battlepug. however, it is clear the battlepug has a strong connection to the warrior and views him as his master. scrabbly meets the warrior in the abandoned swamp village of patoka. he is a somewhat crazy old hermit and often goes on rambling speeches using the words "scribbly" and "scrabbly".

suffered from an enlargement of the heart, died in his sleep and was found on the morning of february 15, 1851. a student of carl friedrich gauss and an assistant to gauss at the university observatory, goldschmidt frequently collaborated with gauss on various mathematical and scientific works. goldschmidt was in turn a professor of gauss's protegé bernhard riemann. data gathered by gauss and goldschmidt on the growth of the logarithmic integral compared to the distribution of prime numbers was cited by riemann in "on the number of primes less than a given magnitude", riemann's seminal paper on the prime-counting function. in 1831, goldschmidt wrote a mathematical treatise in latin, "determinatio superficiei minimae rotatione curvae data duo puncta jungentis circa datum axem ortae" ("determination of the surface-minimal rotation curve given two joined points about a given axis of origin"). the paper dealt with the problem in the calculus of variations of determining the minimal surface of revolution, the surface of revolution of the planar curve between two given points which minimizes surface area. solutions to the problem exist which are not continuous; such discontinuous solutions are known as goldschmidt solutions in honor of goldschmidt's discovery of them. in 1834, goldschmidt co-authored, in german, the textbook "lehrbuch der analytischen optik" ("textbook of analytical optics") with j. c. eduard schmidt. together with gauss and wilhelm eduard weber, goldschmidt published in 1840 "atlas des erdmagnetismus: nach den elementen der theorie

johannesburg, but took passage to the united states where he saw prospects for architects after the 1906 san francisco earthquake. when he ran out of money en route, he decided to stay in melbourne. here he was embraced by the local jewish community and soon found his feet again, initially taking up a position with the railway's engineering department where he worked as a draftsman for about three years. he obtained work as a draftsman with fellow jewish architect nahum burnett, and then set up his own office in 1911. plottel enjoyed a very diverse architectural practice with commercial and residential commissions in a range of revival styles drawing on the american romanesque and arts and craft movement, as well as tudor revival and spanish mission. among his early commissions was the williamstown municipal buildings in 1914, in a simplified greek revival style, and several flat projects that were amongst the earliest in melbourne, such as garden court of 1918 in marne st south yarra and waverly at in grey street st. kilda, 1920, which were relatively severe designs in unadorned redbrick, with some arts crafts or tudor flavour. the prominent use of rain heads and down pipes in the composition is an interesting pointer to plottel's later work. in 1924 plottel married and also was appointed to design the new st kilda synagogue, as the congregation had outgrown the 1872 building. as inspiration he presented a photo of the recently completed temple isaiah in chicago, and his design was closely modelled on it, a smaller and simpler version of its exotic grand, domed, ‘byzantine revival' style. the dome roof was clad in green wunderlich tiles, imitating copper, while the interior was finished in finely crafted woodwork, which was to become plottel’s trademark. the jewish community provided many commissions, as he became close to several business people who had factories in melbourne’s western suburbs including footscray and yarraville. plottel’s wife rachel was a doctor specialising in skin conditions. their only daughter, philippa may, married cpl rolf hallenstein (the brothers isaac and michael hallenstein established the vast tannery of michaelis hallenstein in footscray with their cousin moritz michaelis) and obtained a master of laws at the university of melbourne then went on to a prominent role in women’s affairs and law, as a member of the national council of women of victoria, the victorian women lawyers society, the australian local government women's association victoria and many other organisations. the foundation stone of the new synagogue was laid 28 february 1926 (the contractor being h h eilenberg) and the synagogue was consecrated on 13 march 1927. the ladies` gallery was also extended in 1957–1958 to designs by plottel. the masonic club, in the heart of the city at 164 to 170 flinders street, in 1927 again featured the extensive use of decorative brickwork, this time in a variation of the neo grec theme, showing the style's usual chaste ornament, formed by swags, antefixes and a shallow pediment. joseph plottel was joined in a partnership by h e bunnett (1891–1965), in 1921. bunnett's son, linsday harold bunnett (1920–1995), also joined plottel's firm after matriculating at scotch college in 1936, completing his articles in 1941. plottel established a brief practice in canberra in the partnership of plottel bunnett & alsop, who were commissioned to design a number of residential housing projects for the capital territory, one example of which survives at 5 baudin street dated to 1928 and showing a mediterranean influence.; the canberra electoral role for 1929 lists ‘plottel, joseph architect 31 queen st, melbourne’ by dint of his having purchased property in the territory. in the late 1920s, like many architects, he undertook an overseas tour in 1929 to study the latest trends in both europe and the united states, where he was impressed by the spanish style houses of pasadena and beverly hills. further commissions then came in a series of factories, shops and commercial buildings in melbourne and the inner suburbs, including brash's at 108 elizabeth street in the late 1920s, while two footscray factories for maize products in 1933 and bradmills in 1934 cemented his reputation in that suburb. bradmill's had previously been mcphersons jute works and barnett glass rubber, but under the ownership of bradford cotton mills the site was greatly extended with "factory block no. 1" extensively reconstructed, in 1926–1927 according to plottel's designs for a then massive £53,399. he also carried out work on the kayser knitting mill in 1933 and 1936 and lamson paragon's paper mill in richmond in 1937, extending his repertoire with functional industrial buildings, still exhibiting finely executed decorative effects such as the use of coloured brickwork and terra cotta. the footscray connections came to fruition in the commission for the new footscray town hall for the municipality. the two storey building was designed in 1936, and erected by day labour under supervising contractors arp crow & sons in 1936, to replace the first town hall built in 1875. it adopts an unusual eclectic romaneque or even byzantine mode, which had previously influenced plottel for his st kilda synagogue, arranged in a formal palladian manner with a central classical portico with attached receding wings either side. it is the only example of this style applied to a town hall in victoria. the exterior incorporates a finely detailed entrance loggia with corinthian columns, variegated brown brickwork highlighted with intricately modelled buff faience work and a terracotta tile mansard roof. it contains offices on the ground floor and the council chamber and reception hall on the upper level. the interior is designed in a contrasting streamlined modernist manner. in the later 1930s, plottel's work became increasingly moderne, with examples such as the 1935 beehive building (92 to 94 elizabeth street melbourne) and 1937 yoffa house (187 flinders lane melbourne) reflecting the functionalist/moderne style of the interwar period. the beehive building has been described as ‘one of the most distinctive buildings in melbourne’, while yoffa house is ‘almost modern in concept, the moderne note is sounded by the 'architectural terracotta' applied to the facade and the portholes intended for its walls’ further flat designs also came in the 1930s such ‘clovelly’ at 136 alma road, st kilda of 1938, featuring the old english style which was a fashionable and romantic style for flats in the period 1919–1941, described as ‘a cheery tonic after the rigours of the great war.’ in 1937 plottel was again engaged by the jewish community to design the temple beth israel in alma road, st kilda. this building, like the footscray substations, is almost modernistic, with little elaboration to the brickwork, though the tall square pillars of the portico still allude to the classical. in the late 1930s though is practice was busy, he took time off for nearly a year travelling again in 1938. in 1939, with the forced emigration of german and austrian jews, joseph plottel applied to be naturalised in 1939 (which hinted at an austrian or czechoslovakian heritage), and sponsored a number of friends or relatives to escape from countries then controlled by nazi germany. his last building appears to be a small speculative house venture in 1941, and though he briefly assisted with an extension to the ladies` gallery at the st kilda synagogue in 1957–1958, he appears to have lived out a quiet retirement before his death at his home in toorak on 28 may 1977 aged 93. his wife rachel henrietta plottel had died in toorak two years previously on 2 january 1975, aged 88. joseph's parents' names were given as philip plottel and sarah hyams, while rachel henrietta plottel's parents' names were given as maurice gross and celine isaacson. plottel's works have been identified from the art deco society article, architectural indexes, and original drawings in the latrobe library collection. lundenes is a village in harstad municipality in troms og

toppsundet strait towards the village of grøtavær on the island of grytøya. elgsnes chapel is located in this village. elgsnes has been inhabited from the early stone age, at least 10,000 years ago. many finds have been made in and around the village. some of the finds come from the neolithic period (5000 – 2000 b.c.), but from the bronze age (2000 – 0 b.c.) there is little left from the two big cairns. a woman's grave from the merovingian period (600 – 800 a.d.) was richly equipped, including jewelry from the baltic region and karelia. a blacksmith's grave from the viking age (800 - 1.050 a.d.) was, when it was opened in the 1950s, considered to be the fourth richest of its kind in scandinavia. the trade station down at raten has a history dating back to 1675. at its peak there were 23 houses at the promontory, including the main building from 1723. in 1798, the trade station got a royal license as a guesthouse, so the use of the building for overnight guests started more than 200 years ago. as harstad developed as a trade center, the trade in elgsnes declined, and in 1914 it came to an end. the houses were sold off, so today only the main building is left from the old trade station houses. gol darreh () is a village in zardalan rural district, helilan district, chardavol county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 85, in 12 families. bruce roberts may refer to: st michael and all angels church is a parish church in marden, kent. it was begun circa 1200 and is a grade i listed building. the church was begun around 1200 and was altered or extended in the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th centuries and was restored in 1868 and 1909. the church is constructed variously of coursed and random sandstone, rag-stone and puddingstone and has plain tiled and lead roofs. the nave is adjoined by aisles on the north and south sides, the one to the south continuing across the south face of the west tower. the chancel has chapels on the north and south side. the tower was built in the 13th or early 14th century and comprises three stone-built stages with a fourth stage, containing the belfry added later in white painted weatherboarding with a pyramidal roof. louvred openings occupy the centre of each side of the belfry. small rectangular or pointed lancet windows pierce the stonework on each external face of the lower stages, except the south face which abuts the south aisle. a square stair turret with window slits adjoins the north-west corner of the tower. both aisles are early 14th century. the south aisle has a rag-stone plinth, but the north aisle is plinthless. the south aisle has two buttresses with three large three-lighted 14th-century style arched windows; two to the west of the porch and one to the east. the western bay, attached to the south side of the tower was reconstructed in the 19th or early 20th century. the north aisle has a diagonal buttress on the north-west corner and two on the north side positioned between the three three-lighted windows. two are original 14th-century and the third is 19th-century in the same style with traceried decoration. the west end of the north aisle contains a 19th-century two-lighted window. the west end of the south aisle is blank apart from a small blocked lancet window. the early 14th century south porch occupies the secondmost eastern bay of the south aisle. diagonal buttresses project from the outer corners. the inner and outer doorways are pointed arches and an octagonal stair turret to the parvis chamber is positioned in the angle at the north-west corner between the porch and the south aisle. the chancel was built about 1200 and restored in 1868. it has no plinths or buttresses. the eastern end of the north and south walls each contain a single pointed arch window. the 19th century east window is three-lighted. the south chapel is 14th century as was partly rebuilt after a fire in 1554. the two-light window in the south wall and the three-light window in the east wall are both 19th century. the north chapel is 15th century with two two-light windows on the north side and a three-light window in the east end. all date from the 15th century with cinquefoil heads and tracery. internally, the nave is separated from the aisles with 14th-century arcades of three bays of pointed arches: octagonal columns in the south arcade and alternating circular and octagonal columns in the north arcade. the chancel arch is circa 1200 and the tower arch is 13th or early 14th century. the chapels are divided from the chancel with two bay arcades of pointed arches, each contemporary with the age of the adjacent chapel. the roofs of the chancel, nave and the chapels are of crown post construction with the ridge of the roofs of the chancel and chapels being lower than the nave. the aisle roofs are lean-tos. the font is octagonal and carved with initials and date "em 1662". the octagonal wooden font cover with a central finial has hinged panels on four sides. doorways to the parvis stairs and rood loft stairs are in the south wall of the south aisle and the south wall of the north aisle respectively. the three chancel windows contain stained glass by patrick reyntiens installed in 1962. the church contains memorials to edward cole ("d". 1757) and george maplesden ("d". 1688). the church is set in a large churchyard dotted with headstones. close to the south aisle are grade ii listed stocks capable of holding two people. rho draconis (ρ draconis) is a solitary star in the northern circumpolar constellation of

compounds of adjugates can be expressed using adjugates of compounds, and vice versa. from the identities and the sylvester-franke theorem, we deduce the same technique leads to an additional identity, the computation of compound matrices appears in a wide array of problems. compound and adjugate matrices appear when computing determinants of linear combinations of matrices. it is elementary to check that, if and are matrices, then it is also true that: this has the immediate consequence in general, the computation of compound matrices is non effective due to its high complexity. nonetheless, there is some efficient algorithms available for real matrices with special structures. sir kaneh or sirkaneh () may refer to: omega draconis, latinized from ω draconis and also known as 28 draconis, is a binary star in the constellation of draco. the system is fairly close, and is located about 76 light-years (23 parsecs) away, based on its parallax. omega draconis is a spectroscopic binary, which means the two stellar components are too close to be resolved but periodic doppler shifts in their spectra indicate orbital motion. in this case, light from both stars can be detected, and it is a double-lined spectroscopic binary. the orbital period of the system is 5.28 days, and the eccentricity of the system is 0.00220, implying a nearly circular orbit. the primary has a mass of , and is an f-type main-sequence star. the secondary is less massive, at . with 27 draconis, it composed the arabs' الأظفار الذئب "al-ʼaẓfār al-dhiʼb", "the wolf's claws" in the asterism

"hexagonae) of five iris species native to louisiana and surrounding regions of the southeastern united states: "iris fulva", "iris hexagona", "iris brevicaulis", "iris giganticaerulea", and "iris nelsonii". each recognized species has noticeable phenotypic and habitat differences, yet similarities between their phenotypes and habitats can be drawn. these similarities are partially a result of their similar phylogenies. many of the species are closely related, some a result of interbreeding, as in the most recent discovery of the abbeville red iris, "iris nelsonii". the five louisiana irises are often categorized as "the reds" or "the blues" according to their corolla color. "the blues", species "iris brevicaulis", "iris hexagona", and "iris giganticaerulea", typically have blue-purple corollas, with rare white forms. "the reds", species "iris fulva" and "iris nelsonii", typically have red-orange corollas, with rare yellow forms. between 1920s and 1930s, dr. john k. small extensively studied irises in both florida and louisiana and named over 80 new species, including "iris savannarum", iris kimballiae, iris albispiritus and iris rivularis. subsequent research has determined that only "iris savannarum" is a true species and the others are synonyms of it. in 1990, the louisiana iris was voted the state wildflower of louisiana. the state flower is the magnolia blossom. the "hexagonae" series name is derived from the first louisiana iris species to inhabit the series, "iris hexagona". the name "louisiana iris" comes from the naturalist and artist john james audubon. in the 1821, a louisiana flag ("iris fulva") was painted by his assistant joseph mason, then audubon added his pair of parula warblers. he then used the term 'louisiana flag' to describe the painting. "iris fulva", common name "copper iris", is noted by its fulva color of rusty red to brownish orange or rare yellow forms. in 1812, this species was named by j.b. ker-gawler from a specimen found in the surrounding new orleans area. the red color of the fulva contributes to the red modern hybrids found in the surrounding habitats that the iris thrives. it is found in louisiana, along with other mississippi valley habaitats in illinois, kentucky, and ohio. other notable physiological characteristics of the species are its big size (3-4 inches in diameter) and drooping petals. "iris hexagona" is the oldest discovered louisiana iris species. in 1788, the species was named in south carolina. confusion in recognizing the iris is often intertwined with "iris giganticaerula". "iris hexagona" can also be found in south carolina and florida. in louisiana, the species "iris hexagona" is debated to derive from "iris giganticaerula" or of the same plant species habitating in its other natural states. there are noticeable differences in blooms, color, and shape when comparing the florida species and south carolina species and taxonomists are still determining the difference in classification. "iris hexagona" located in louisiana dwell in wet areas of full or half shade, more specifically ditches, canals, swamps, and slow flowing streams. "iris bevicaulis", common name "zigzag iris" and "lamance iris", is the most petite louisiana iris. it is recognized by its zigzag stalk and prominent, numerous flower parts, that open widely. the species does not require as much water to survive, like other louisiana irises. due to its minimalist aquatic requirement, habitats can be in the mud, instead of water bodies, or other surroundings to aqueous habitats. one distinguishable feature that separates it from the other blue irises, is its late blooming season. furthermore, the iris's importance lies in its hardiness; it provides support to many cultivar plants and was pronounced the "show horse" for the louisiana iris species. locations of the iris are upland louisiana and along the gulf coast. the irises' pattern of growth up the state of louisiana, ventures north into the mississippi valley of missouri, kentucky, illinois, and ohio. "iris giganticaerulea" is the most recognizable louisiana iris species. this gulf coast species is an extremely large blue native plant, found commonly in the city of new orleans. in the state of louisiana, the iris grows natively in freshwater marshes, swamps, and woody wetlands. yet only a few remaining native, wild-growing irises can be found in louisiana wetlands, located 20 to 30 miles north of new orleans. some of the species can be found growing natively along the coasts of texas and mississippi. "iris nelsonii", common name "abbeville red" or "super fulva", was the most recently discovered and named louisiana iris. in 1938, w. b. macmillan discovered the plant species; in 1966 randolph named the iris. the common name derives from its native habitat that is located in an exclusive area in southeast abbeville, louisiana. they grow in cypress swamps surrounded by shallow water, or other aquatic habitats with shallow water and full shade. the species is hypothesized to originate as a result of a span of several years of closed-off habitats, and interbreeding of other louisiana iris species ("i. fulva", "i. giganticaerulea", and "i. brevicaulis"), causing the species hybrid to gain stability as its own species. the iris's more recent discovery allows for increasing popularity by birthing many current louisiana iris cultivars. their physiological properties are similar to the "iris fulva", but they grow taller and have larger corollas. however, they stay true to the red iris family with either red or yellow fulvas. the blooms of the iris can be found from the middle to late month of april. "iris savannarum", common name: prairie iris or savanna iris, it was published by dr. john k. small in 1925. it was once thought to be a variety of "iris hexagona", but then various botanists made the case it was different enough in form and flower to be treated as a separate species. the iris species in southeast abbeville, louisiana can reportedly be traced back to its original heritage or origin of descent with the use of pedigree. some of these pedigrees have been put together with the help of charles arny in 1958. ongoing research of "iris nelsonii" can be found in a few university labs, testing for the genetics of the species. the origin of the species, by decoding dna sequences, may help explain the process of hybridization of new species by introgression. michael l. arnold, ph. d., working in the university of georgia department of genetics, is currently studying this model by observing the genotype of several "iris nelsonii" and other iris from the "hexagonae" series. the unique "iris nelsonii" species can only be found in the turkey island swamp in vermillion parish, louisiana—property that is privately owned. amity bass and chris reid are two botanists that are currently involved in the protection and conservation of the species in louisiana. they have been involved in surveying the privately owned property where the endemic plant resides, and are currently in the process of transplanting some of the rhizomes to replant in a neighboring state park. it is this park, palmetto island state park, and others that louisiana department of wildlife and fisheries are teaming with to bring public awareness to the conservation issue of "iris nelsonii". by replanting the species and opening educational exhibits, the relatively new hot topic of this endemic plant is now gaining more public awareness. this awareness helped gain the approval for legislative funding by representative simone champagne of jeanerette in 2011. the state funding provided the louisiana department of wildlife and fisheries with the means to build the exhibit in the palmetto island state park. the remaining conservation concern is centered on the privately owned turkey island swamp, and the importance of conserving and maintaining "iris nelsonii" 's natural habitat. with the permission of the land owners, surveys of the swamp are ongoing, with the understanding that, if the swamp habitat is compromised, the endemic louisiana species will be wiped away. a prominent threat to the swamp resides in the comparing the present-day hydrology to the hydrology of the swamp the year the abbeville red was discovered. the swamp is not only drier than in 1939, but also more salt concentrated. changes are a result of the seasonal occurrence of hurricanes in louisiana and coastal wetland erosion, that sequentially drains into the nearby swamp. additionally, agricultural influence and man-made alterations to waterways have led to the drier swamp habitat. overall, the continued reproduction of the iris in the swamp habitat, and the noteworthy isolation of the swamp, are two factors scientist reason are key to the iris's survival, and if compromised, may cause the integrity of the abbeville red to be in danger. dundee united football club is a scottish association football club based in the city of dundee. the club's first ever tie in european competition was in the 1966–67 inter-cities fairs cup where they knocked out holders barcelona in the second round winning both legs in the process before losing in the following round to italian giants juventus despite winning the home leg 1-0. they had their best spell in the 1980s, reaching the semi-final of the european cup in 1984 and final of the uefa cup in 1987, they also reached the quarter-final stage of the latter in both 1982 & 1983. in total they have won 46 games in european competition, currently more than any scottish club outwith the old firm and aberdeen. john p. erickson (june 30, 1825 – august 2, 1907) was a union navy sailor in the american civil war and a recipient of the u.s. military's highest decoration, the medal of honor, for his actions during the wilmington campaign. born in 1825 in sweden, erickson immigrated to the u.s. and was living in brooklyn when he joined the navy. he served as a captain of the forecastle on the in the wilmington campaign, from the first battle of fort fisher on december 24, 1864, through the campaign's end on february 22, 1865. he was severely wounded and received treatment at a hospital in portsmouth, virginia. for his actions during the campaign, he was awarded the medal of honor months later on june 22, 1865. erickson's official medal of honor citation reads: served on board the u.s.s. "pontoosuc" during the capture of fort fisher and wilmington, 24 december 1864, to 22 february 1865. carrying out his duties faithfully throughout this period, erickson was so severely wounded in the assault upon fort fisher that he was sent to the hospital at portsmouth, va. erickson was recommended for his gallantry, skill, and coolness in action while under the fire of the enemy. erickson died on august 2, 1907, at age 82 and was buried at green-wood cemetery in brooklyn. acrolepia tharsalea is a moth of the family acrolepiidae. it was described by walsingham in 1914. it is found in guatemala. justin pemberton is a documentary filmmaker based in auckland, new zealand. pemberton's adaptation of economist thomas piketty’s ny times bestseller capital in the twenty-first century premièred at sydney film festival in june 2019. in 2016 pemberton co-wrote and directed a film about rugby player richie mccaw called "chasing great". the film topped the new zealand box office with a record-breaking opening weekend and became the highest grossing new zealand documentary of all time. his 2016 interactive documentary i spy (with my 5 eyes) investigated the five eyes intelligence sharing network. the documentary was produced by carthew neal and was a co-production with canadian digital media company jam3. pemberton was also executive producer on the david farrier documentary tickled. pemberton wrote and directed the feature docudrama "the golden hour", based on the story of new zealand athletes peter snell and murray halberg at the 1960 summer olympics in rome. "the golden hour" was nominated for a 2013 international emmy award for best documentary. his film "the nuclear comeback" investigated the nuclear power industry’s claim that, as a low carbon emitter, nuclear power is climate-friendly source of energy. the documentary won best documentary at italy’s cinemambiente film festival in 2008 and best new zealand feature documentary at the docnz film festival. pemberton was also awarded achievement in directing (documentary) at the 2008 qantas film and television awards for "the nuclear comeback". pemberton’s film "love, speed and loss", about grand prix road-racer kim newcombe, won best documentary, best editing and best directing at the 2007 new zealand screen awards and was awarded best arts/festival documentary at the 2007 qantas television awards. he has frequently collaborated with new zealand musician anika moa, directing two documentaries following the singer as well as music videos and photo shoots, including the cover of her 2010 album love in motion. moa has also composed the soundtracks for five of pemberton’s films.

adaptation influence performance and, as such, are relevant factors to consider while preparing for costly, long-duration spaceflight missions in which the performance objectives will be demanding, endurance will be tested and success will be critical. during the selection of crew members, throughout their training and during their psychosocial adaptation to the mission environment, there are several opportunities to encourage optimal performance and, in turn, minimize the risk of failure. evidence linking crew selection, composition, training, cohesion or psychosocial adaptation to performance errors is uncertain. many nasa-backed studies regarding spaceflight, as well as space analogs, emphasize the need to consider these factors. the research on performance errors caused by team factors is ambiguous and currently, no systematic attempt has been undertaken to measure performance errors due to psychosocial team factors during space flight. as a result, evidence does not help identify what is needed to reduce the risk of performance errors in space. ground-based evidence demonstrates that decrements in individual and team performance are related to the psychosocial characteristics of teamwork. also, there are reasons to believe that ground support personnel and crew members experience many of the same basic issues regarding teamwork and performance. the study of performance errors implies that human actions may be simplified into a dichotomy of "correct" or "incorrect" responses. it has been argued that this dichotomy is a harmful oversimplification, and that it would be more productive to focus on the variability of human performance and how organizations can manage that variability. there are two particular problems that occur when focusing on performance errors: research shows that humans are fairly adept at correcting or compensating for performance errors before such errors result in recognizable or recordable failures. most failures are recorded only when multiple errors occur and are not preventable. for nasa's purposes, a team is commonly understood to be a collection of individuals that is assigned to support and achieve a particular mission. one way of selecting for teams is to identify those individuals who are best suited to work in teams, ensuring that each individual team member possesses the qualities and skills that lend themselves to optimal teamwork. many organizations use competency frameworks to select individuals utilizing a "team-working" competency that measures how an individual works with other team members (support, knowledge sharing, etc.). these "teamwork" competencies have been shown to help predict individual performance in teams. efforts have been made within spaceflight operations to identify factors that are important for selecting individual crew members for long duration spaceflight. there has also been an analytical study to identify the skills necessary for long and short duration missions to inform the initial astronaut candidate selection process. in this study, twenty experts (including astronauts) rated 47 relevant skills on criticality and another 42 environmental and work demands on their probability of occurrence. this resulted in 10 broad factors that were deemed important for long-duration missions: these factors somewhat overlap with those identified in previous peer-rating studies which suggest both a job competence and an interpersonal dimension for astronaut performance. there is a lack of data that related performance to team composition and cohesion due to the evolution of job duties and selection practices over the history of manned spaceflight as well as the limited number of astronauts actually selected (340 u.s. astronauts to date). these issues are relevant to other space agencies as well. in 1990, a european astronaut working group reevaluated selection criteria for the selection of european astronauts as russian researchers have collected personality data on cosmonauts for a number of years. the empirical linking of personality factors to specific performance levels still eludes researchers. long-duration space flights are so physically, mentally and emotionally demanding that simply selecting individual crew members who have the "right stuff" is insufficient. training and supporting optimal performance is more effective than simply selecting high performers. training team skills and supporting optimal performance entails more than educating astronauts about the technical aspects of the job, it also requires equipping those astronauts with the resources that are needed to maintain psychological and physical health during long-duration spaceflight missions. developing the right kind of training for team skills is further complicated by operational issues. not all tasks that will or may be encountered can be anticipated. unexpected tasks can, and have, arise suddenly. team training needs to be broad and flexible enough to support these unexpected performance requirements. group cohesiveness has been defined as the strength of members' motivations to stay in the group. leon festinger cited three primary characteristics that define team cohesion: interpersonal attraction, task commitment and group pride. studies to determine the strength or willingness of individuals to stick together and act as a unit have most consistently assessed the level of conflict, degree of interpersonal tensions, facility and quality of communications, collective perceptions of team health and performance of the group, and the extent to which team members share perceptions or understandings concerning their operational context. researchers at the u.s. army research institute (ari) noted in their recent review of cohesion as a construct, that the definitions of cohesion is ambiguous; therefore, the means of measuring cohesion is complex. the ari authors concluded that "cohesion can best be conceptualized as a multidimensional construct consisting of numerous factors representing interpersonal and task dynamics. there is a large body of ground-based evidence showing cohesion influences levels of performance, but this evidence is primarily correlational rather than causal. cohesive teams are more productive than less cohesive teams. this situation could be because or
teams preserve their cohesion when they succeed rather than fail. therefore, applied scientists advise it is important to promote three essential conditions for team performance:
these kinds of problems undermine team performance and can have detrimental effects on team cohesion (thompson, 2002). research shows that cohesive teams tend to sit closer to each other, focus more attention on each other, show signs of mutual affection, display coordinated patterns of behavior as well as give due credit to their partners. non-cohesive teams are more likely to take credit for successes and blame others for mistakes and failures. it is important to differentiate between team cohesiveness and individual morale. an individual who has low morale can influence team cohesion, but it may be possible for a team to remain cohesive even with low-morale members. psychosocial experts within the spaceflight community have articulated their concern that interpersonal conflicts and lack of cohesion will impede the abilities of crews to perform tasks accurately, efficiently, or in a coordinated manner during long-duration missions. from the evidence, it cannot be said that lack of team cohesion is statistically likely to result in numerous performance errors or an observable failure, but it does seem likely that ignoring the relationship between cohesion and performance will result in sub-optimal performance. we know that many factors contribute to how cohesion is built and encouraged within a team, and we know that cohesion is positively related to better performance. research cannot effectively determine in a reasonable amount of time what minimum level of cohesion is required to avoid catastrophic failure. instead of investing research and time in such an endeavor, funding would be better used to test and identify effective means of building cohesion and promoting optimal performance in a long-duration mission context. although the astronaut candidate selection process screens for individuals with personality or mood disorders, certain disorders (i.e. poor psychosocial adaptation) may develop due to poor cohesion and/or support is a concern that could ultimately decrease performance in space flight crews. although spaceflight evidence regarding cohesion and performance is limited by the scarcity of objective team performance data, case studies, interviews and surveys have been conducted within the spaceflight community that have provided evidence that issues pertaining to cohesion exist and are perceived as threats to effective operations. for example, breakdowns in team coordination, resource and informational exchanges, and role conflicts (all common indicators of poor team cohesion) were mentioned as contributors to both the "challenger" and the "columbia" space shuttle accidents. likewise, interviews and surveys of flight controllers indicate that mission teams are commonly concerned with team member coordination and communications, and that interpersonal conflicts and tensions do exist. because of a lack of empirical evidence from spaceflight research, much of the evidence surrounding cohesion and performance comes from non-space domains such as aviation, medicine, the military, and space analogs. some reports have estimated that "crew error" in aviation contributes 65% to 70% of all serious accidents. the resulting accident investigations and mishap reports note poor teamwork, communication, coordination, and tactical decision-making as significant causal factors in mishap samples and team breakdowns are repeatedly implicated in accidents. interpersonal conflicts, miscommunications, failures to communicate, and poor teamwork skills have been shown to contribute significantly to the rate of errors in the medical field. meta-analyses conducted in various industries and types of performance teams (work, military, sport, educational, etc.) provide additional ground-based evidence that cohesion is related to performance. the authors of these meta-analyses (evans and dion found a positive correlation between cohesion and individual performance, but did not include group performance criterion measures. mullen and copper found that cohesion positively affects performance. they also found that this relationship was stronger in real teams verses ad hoc teams, in small teams verses large teams as well as in field studies. mullen and copper also noted that successful performance also promotes cohesion and numerous performance outcomes including individual and group performance, behavioral health, job satisfaction, readiness to perform, and absence of discipline problems. in the later meta-analyses, it was found that as work required more collaboration, the cohesion-performance relationship became stronger and highly cohesive teams became more likely to perform better than less-cohesive teams. this conclusion coincides with thompson's cumulated field study finding that cohesion facilitates team processes and team coordination among work teams in various industrial settings. a significant positive relationship between performance and the generalized beliefs of team members concerning the capabilities of their team across different situations. although most research on team cohesion and performance concentrate on the positive aspects of team attitudes, some have investigated the level of conflict and negative attitudes concerning the team as indicators of cohesion. de dreu and weingart noted an important distinction between interpersonal conflict and task conflict (defined, interpersonal conflicts are about relationship issues, whereas task conflicts are about how to handle tasks). interpersonal conflict is generally detrimental to team cohesion, and, in turn, is destructive to team performance. while team members may correct each other, offer alternatives and argue about how to solve a problem, some level of task-related conflict can promote optimal performance. in contrast, interpersonal and task-related aspects of cohesion are generally found to influence performance positively. a study conducted with canadian military groups showed that task-related cohesion was positively related to individual job satisfaction, interpersonal cohesion was negatively related to reports of psychological distress, and both types of cohesion were positively related to job performance. research conducted on antarctic space analogs investigated conflict, cohesion and performance. it was found that: this last point was studied over a ten-year period, modeling individual and group effects on adaptation to life in an extreme environment using multilevel analysis (). the military and aviation industries have focused more on task cohesion and shared mental models (smms) in their cohesion studies. smms refer to implicit agreements in team member expectations concerning how things work and what behaviors will result in various conditions and were proposed to characterize cohesive work teams. studies that compare performance during simulated operations and training note that leadership, or the ability to influence others toward achieving group goals, may also play a role in team cohesion. although there is an abundance of research that exists for this topic, much of it is complex and conflicting and the findings are often mixed. many studies are at the individual level and may not generalize to the spaceflight setting. studies have shown a supporting relationship between different types of leadership styles, individual performance and morale. dom is the thirteenth studio album by german singer joachim witt. it was released on 28 september 2012. there are several different versions including a standard version, a limited deluxe edition double album that contains an autobiography, a limited digital edition and vinyl records. this includes the sampled "retromania" songs on the deluxe edition. the track "gloria" was released as a single. "dom" received mixed echoes in germany. "rolling stone" delivered a negative review that criticised the electronic parts as being reminiscent of a leni riefenstahl film and called the album "kitsch". the "orkus" magazine's reviewer noted some kitsch too but praised the theatrical lyrics in an overall very favourable review. he wrote that compared to the previous "bayreuth" cycle that featured pain and anger, witt had become more settled now. also the "sonic seducer's" review was very positive while noting the quality of the songwriting and the instrumentation. the album peaked at position 6 in the german media control charts while the single "gloria" reached number 74. acrolepiopsis nagaimo is a moth of the family acrolepiidae. it was described by yasuda in 2000. it is found in japan. the larvae feed on "dioscorea oposita". they mine the leaves of their host plant. st mary the virgin is a small parish church in thurnham, kent. begun in the 12th century, it is a grade i listed building. the church was begun in the 12th century with alterations made up to the early 17th century. the church comprises a continuous nave and chancel with a chapel at the east end of the north side of the nave. porches on the north and south side abut the west tower. apart from the porches and the chapel, the church is constructed of random flint and has a plain tiled roof. the porches are of uneven stone blocks and the chapel is of galleted stone. the west tower is in two stages with a battlemented parapet with buttresses at the four corners. a small window is above the west door and the belfry stage has single-lighted openings. edward hasted describe the church in 1798 as having a pointed steeple, but this is no longer present. the west end of the nave and chancel is 12th or 13th century and the east end 14th century. the south wall contains two restored perpendicular gothic windows at the west. the north wall has a single restored perpendicular window. the east end of the chancel has a large restored window. the porches are early 15th century with gabled roofs and the chapel was added circa 1603 with a hipped roof behind a battlemented parapet. each has a plinth and the chapel has a large window on its east side. internally, the nave is separated from the chapel with a 15th-century arch. the nave roof has crown posts; the chancel roof has collar purlins, but no crown posts. the reredos is heavily carved and was made in oberammergau. it is dedicated to mrs julia jane hampson ("d". 1904, wife of the vicar, rev. william hampson). the font is octagonal and possibly 14th century. the pews are late 18th or early 19th century. the chapel is dedicated to sir henry cutt and was paid for by his wife lady barbara cutt. the church contains memorials to lady barbara ("d". 1618), her second husband william covert, richard sheldon ("d". 1736), mariae dering ("d". 1725), thomas burwash ("d". 1791) and thomas wise ("d". 1790) and family. the churchyard contains a number of grade ii

primorsky krai). acrolepiopsis sinjovi is a moth of the family acrolepiidae. it was described by reinhard gaedike in 1994. it is found in russia (it was described from the area of ussuriysk in primorsky krai). anita theodosia moira king (née leslie; first married name rodzianko; 21 november 1914 – 5 november 1985), generally known as anita leslie, was an irish-born biographer and writer. she was a first cousin once removed of the british wartime prime minister sir winston churchill. the eldest of three children born in new york city, to a wealthy anglo-irish landowning family (49,968 acres). anita theodosia moira leslie, alongside her brothers (sir john leslie, 4th baronet and desmond leslie) were born to sir john randolph leslie, 3rd baronet (a.k.a. shane leslie) and his wife, majorie ide, the vermont-born daughter of general henry clay ide the us ambassador to spain. anita's schooling was abysmal. she spent her childhood partly on a feudal estate in a country torn by conflict, partly in a london town-house where everyone in the 1920s seemed obsessed by cocktails, short skits, bobbed hair and eton crops, and partly in strange schools and convents in various parts of europe. but she always felt at home at castle leslie and her 1981 autobiography, "the gilt and the gingerbread", details her early childhood and eventual decision to leave the home of her grandparents and play her part in the second world war. during the war anita leslie joined the mechanised transport corps, as a fully trained mechanic and ambulance driver. anita was stationed in cairo, lebanon, syria, and jordan during the intervening years. in 1944 she drove ambulances with the free french army through northern france and liberated a v2 rocket factory in germany. she wrote letters home from hitler's office in the reich chancellery and took part in the victory parade in berlin. anita met future husband bill king in lebanon in 1943, where king served for 5 months as executive officer of the submarine base at beirut. she was on a skiing trip after doing duty in africa in the motor transport corps in 1940–42, although a letter mentions her being in beirut in 1941–42. she served as an ambulance driver in the french army from 1944-45. for the latter, she was awarded the "croix de guerre" in 1945 by general charles de gaulle. on 1 january 1949, leslie married king. after the war, anita took up farming and was an avid fox hunter, as was her husband bill. in 1946, the kings bought oranmore castle, a 15th-century norman keep built on galway bay in county galway, ireland for £200-. other sources report that anita leslie-king was given the castle by her mother, who had bought it in 1946. for a while, the kings lived in a hunting lodge outside oranmore village, designed by bill, and built while he and anita went on a "world sailing cruise." to help combat his wife's asthma, king developed an organic farm and garden to feed his family. both anita leslie's mother and grandmother had suffered from asthma. she married, firstly, (a nephew of mikhail rodzianko) and secondly, commander bill king in 1947 who during world war ii served as a submarine commander and later a transatlantic and circumnaviator yachtsman. the kings had two children: kortes dam (national id # wy01294) is a dam in carbon county, wyoming. the concrete gravity dam was constructed between 1946 and 1951 by the united states bureau of reclamation, with a height of 244 feet, and a length of 440 feet at its crest. it impounds the north platte river for hydroelectric power. owned and operated by the bureau, it stands as part of the kortes unit of the vast pick–sloan missouri basin program less than two miles downstream from the bureau's larger seminoe dam. the riverine reservoir it creates, kortes reservoir, has a water surface of 83 acres and a volume of 4,765 acre-feet confined to the narrow black canyon, which is not stocked with fish and has no boat ramp facilities. however, the five and a half river miles from the base of kortes dam downstream to the pathfinder reservoir, the miracle mile area, has eleven primitive camping areas and fishing for brown trout, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and walleye. douglas county, kansas, maintains an extensive network of county highways to serve the rural areas and state parks of the county. it is one of a handful of kansas counties to do so. the major county highways are set up on a grid. east–west-oriented roads have a three-digit number beginning with the numeral "4" and ending in an even digit. the further north the road, the lower the number; the further south, the higher the number. north–south-oriented roads have a four-digit number beginning with "10" and ending in an odd digit. the further west the road, the lower the number; the further east, the higher the number. there are also minor county roads with one or two digits that travel a short distance or serve a state park. none of the county highways enters lawrence, the county seat. the maximum speed limit on all county highways in douglas county is . fuchsia is a 2009 filipino drama-comedy film directed by joel lamangan. it stars gloria romero, eddie garcia, and robert arevalo. performance based contracting (pbc), also known as performance-based logistics (pbl) or performance-based acquisition, is a product support strategy used to achieve measurable supplier performance. a pbc approach focuses on developing strategic performance metrics and directly relating contracting payment to performance against these metrics. common metrics include availability, reliability, maintainability, supportability and total cost of ownership. the primary means of accomplishing this are through incentivized, long-term contracts with specific and measurable levels of operational performance defined by the customer and agreed on by contracting parties. the incentivized performance measures aim to motivate the supplier to implement enhanced practices that offer improved performance and cost effective. this stands in contrast to the conventional transaction-based, or waterfall approach, where payment is related to completion of milestones and project deliverables. in pbc, since a part or the whole payment is tied to the performance of the provider and the purchaser does not get involved in the details of the process, it becomes crucial to define a clear set of requirements to the provider . occasionally governments fail to define the requirements clearly. this leaves room for providers to, either intentionally or unintentionally, misinterpret the requirements, which creates a game like situation . recent studies highlighted that the shift from transaction-based to outcome-based relationship requires a business model innovation . performance-based approaches are most widely used the defense industry, but can be applied across any spend category. pbc is about buying performance, not transactional goods and services, through an integrated acquisition and logistics process delivering improved capability to a range of products and services. pbc is a support strategy that places primary emphasis on optimising system support to meet the needs of the user. pbcs delineate outcome performance goals, ensure that responsibilities are assigned, provide incentives for attaining these goals, and facilitate the overall life-cycle management of system reliability, supportability, and total ownership costs. a pbc in practice involves a contracting agency (who are contracting the work to an external provider) and a contractor (who are responsible for completing the work set out in the contract). several other parties are often involved, including subcontractors, a legal team and consultants. these parties work for both contracting agency and contractor completing various elements of work associated with contract development, contracted work completion or performance management / measurement. united states federal law defines performance-based acquisition and treats it as "the preferred method for acquiring services". a typical process for implementing a pbc is as follows: pbc is the name used in australia, new zealand and canada to describe the practice of attaching contract payment to a set of performance metrics. it is commonly known as performance-based logistics in the us and contracting for availability or contractor logistics support in the uk. although it was developed in the us for defence applications, and is most actively applied there, pbc strategies are growing in popularity around the world and in industry sectors other than defence. in particular, pbc frameworks are becoming popular in shipping, transport, health services and the energy sector. alternative terms include: pbc is widely applied in the australian defence sector, primarily by the major acquisition and support organisation, the defence material organisation (dmo). it is particularly useful in the defence environment because of the inherent complexity and large scale of the projects. recently, australian defence has initiated an escalation of the use of pbcs with the strategic aims of improving capability outcomes and reducing total cost of ownership. in australia and the us, pbc frameworks are most commonly applied in defence situations. pbc frameworks are currently being used in numerous defence related projects, including: although it is applied primarily in the defence environment, pbc is becoming more popular in a broader range of private and public sector organisations as they seek to reduce costs and create a closer link between expenditure and performance goals. areas outside defence where pbc is applied include: some examples: a performance-based model is one of seven sourcing business models. sourcing business models theory is a systems-based approach to structuring supplier relationships. a sourcing business model is a type of business model that is applied to business relationships where more than one party needs to work with another party to be successful. there are seven sourcing business models that range from the transactional to investment-based. the seven models are: basic provider, approved provider, preferred provider, performance-based/managed services model, vested business model, shared services model, and equity partnership model. sourcing business models are targeted for procurement professionals seeking a modern approach for achieving the best fit between buyers and suppliers. sourcing business model theory is based on a collaborative research effort by the university of tennessee (ut), the sourcing industry group (sig) the center for outsourcing research and education (core), and the international association for contracts and commercial management (iaccm). their initial research formed the basis for the 2015 book, "strategic sourcing in the new economy: harnessing the potential of sourcing business models in modern procurement." there is discussion about the efficacy of pbc as a product support measure. however, there is significant research to suggest that pbc can reduce costs and result in better supplier outputs/performance against metrics than traditional contracting approaches, such as transaction-based contracts. the u.s. department of defense/air force/defense acquisition university sponsored a research project conducted by the university of tennessee study an american study into the effectiveness of pbc frameworks in defence projects. the study found that projects employing a true pbc framework resulted in substantially lower costs and improved system readiness / capability when compared to non-pbc arrangements. the u.s. department of defense has many documented case studies from award-winning pbl contracts. in addition, a study by booz allen hamilton found that even incorporating a small amount of a pbc framework into weapons system support will create positive results. in a more general sense, implementing a pbc framework has a broad range of benefits for organisations, contractors and contracting agencies, including: festuca filiformis, known by the common names fine-leaf sheep fescue, fine-leaved sheep's-fescue, hair fescue, and slender fescue, is a species of grass. it is native to europe and it is widespread elsewhere as an introduced species and often a weed. acrolophus abdita is a moth of the family acrolophidae. it is found in south america. harper–chesser house is a historic house

sailing ships have been named "frances": the timber is a 2015 american western thriller film directed by anthony o'brien and produced by scott einbinder and patrick newall. it stars james ransone, elisa lasowski, mark caven, william gaunt, david bailie, and josh peck. the screenplay concerns two brothers who set out to capture or kill their estranged father, who has become violent after his fortunes crashed in the yukon gold rush. during the yukon gold rush, brothers wyatt and samuel set off to take in their estranged father, jebediah, who is rumored to have turned violent after the gold mine he was working dried up. samuel and his family are about to be evicted from their land, and sheriff snow suspects wyatt of a recent murder. wyatt desires to kill their father, but samuel insists they take him in alive. before they can leave, banker mr. howell alters the agreement he made with the brothers and insists they take colonel rupert thomas and his cargo with them. the brothers have no choice and reluctantly accept. they meet a witness, percival hawkins, who has had his tongue cut out. the boys theorize their father did this to keep him quiet. before they can reach the mine, their cart breaks down, and they lose two horses. left with a single horse, they press forward without the cargo. the mine supervisor turns out to have gone mad, and thomas assaults him when he finds the expected ore to instead be worthless. tensions rise as wyatt accuses thomas of being sent to kill them. as they discus religion, wyatt says he believes himself destined for hell. samuel suddenly steps in a rope trap, and bandits attack them; thomas is killed before they drive off the bandits. overwhelmed, samuel turns back, though wyatt says he will not give up. eventually, wyatt turns back to find samuel, only to run into hawkins, who indicates he knows samuel's location. hawkins leads him to a bear cave inhabited by a cannibal. hawkins dies as he helps the brothers defeat the cannibal. out of bullets and armed only with a single knife, the brothers grimly push forward. when they reach jebediah's camp, they are allowed entrance when they identify themselves. however, they are taken prisoner and pressed into slave labor. a revolt ends in many deaths, and the brothers take jebediah's lieutenant prisoner in the melee. he leads them to jebediah, only to be shot and killed by jebediah's bow. jebediah takes them prisoner. as wyatt pleads for samuel's life, jebediah says he and wyatt are the same. jebediah challenges wyatt to a knife fight and kills him. samuel, realizing he can not take in his father, kills him. meanwhile, samuel's wife, with the help of sheriff snow, kills several goons led by howell, who claims to now own her land due to foreclosure. after killing howell himself, snow's deputy discovers oil on samuel's land while digging a grave. samuel returns home and embraces his wife. filming took place in the carpathian mountains in romania and at the media pro studios in bucharest. peck said the weather reached extreme temperatures, but he and ransone still volunteered to do additional takes. "the timber" was released in germany on february 27, 2015, well go usa entertainment released it in north america on october 6, 2015. andy crump of "paste" called the film "a slog lacking in both tempo and urgency". arabis procurrens (syn. "a. ferdinandi-coburgi"), the spreading rock cress, is a species of flowering plant in the family brassicaceae. it is a spreading evergreen or semi-evergreen perennial, forming a dense mat of foliage, with loose racemes of white flowers in spring, suitable for cultivation in the alpine garden. the specific epithet "procurrens" means "spreading underground". the variety "a. procurrens" 'variegata', with white-edged leaves, has gained the royal horticultural society's award of garden merit. "don't eat the yellow snow" is a suite by the american musician frank zappa, made up of the first four tracks of his 1974 album "apostrophe (')": "don't eat the yellow snow", "nanook rubs it", "st. alfonzo's pancake breakfast", and "father o'blivion". each song in the suite is loosely connected, although the songs are not all connected by one overall story/theme. the suite was only played in full from 1973 to 1974 and 1978 to 1980. "saint alfonzo's pancake breakfast" contains zappa's percussionist ruth underwood on marimba who added a very distinct sound to many of his songs in the early 1970s. "don't eat the yellow snow" is a song about a man who dreams that he was an eskimo named nanook. his mother warns him "watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow." the song directly transitions into "nanook rubs it." the song is about nanook encountering a fur trapper "strictly from commercial" who is whipping nanook's "favorite baby seal" with a "lead-filled snow shoe." eventually nanook gets so mad he rubs husky "wee wee" into the fur trapper's eyes, blinding him. according to the lyrics, this scene is destined to take the place of "the mud shark" (a song from the live album "fillmore east – june 1971") in zappa mythology. zappa then sings in the fur trapper's perspective. the fur trapper then makes his way to the parish of st. alfonzo, introducing the next song "st. alfonzo's pancake breakfast." from this point forward, the suite almost completely abandons the previous storyline (the fur trapper's blindness is never explicitly healed). in this song a man attending st. alfonzo's pancake breakfast engages in such appalling deportment as stealing margarine pats from the tables, urinating on the bingo cards, and instigating an affair with an attractive married female churchgoer whose husband is in the marine corps and who is into sadomasochism. the final song in the suite, "father o'blivion", is about a priest, father vivian o'blivion, who makes the pancakes for the st. alfonzo fund-raiser. the lyrics somewhat ambiguously describe his recent sexual encounter involving a leprechaun and a sock, after which the father proclaims that st. alfonzo would be proud of his achievement. then he utters the latin phrase "dominus vobiscum, et cum spiritu tuo (meaning "the lord be with you, and with your spirit."). won't you eat my sleazy pancakes just for saintly alfonzo." there are many possible reasons why the pancakes are "sleazy"; zappa leaves them to the listener's interpretation. the suite can only loosely be said to follow a story and is treated as one piece only because of the musical transitions, the way each song introduces the next, and how later songs reference previous songs. "rollo" was a piece of music that went along with the original suite, but zappa decided against putting the whole piece in the album. instead, he decided to add the main theme of "rollo" as the instrumental second half of "st. alphonzo's pancake breakfast". the entire suite appears in full on the live album "you can't do that on stage anymore, vol. 1", recorded at hammersmith apollo (hammersmith odeon), in london, on february 18–19, 1979. the piece by itself also appears on his posthumous album quaudiophiliac, and his posthumous live album imaginary diseases. the piece itself was written during zappa's recovery from injuries suffered in december 1971, when he was pushed from the stage at london's rainbow theatre by a deranged fan. the original piece had lyrics detailing the adventures of a "man and a dog" (the dog being named, "rollo") who encounter a couple in some sort of act of lovemaking. the piece was performed with the vocals during much of zappa's grand wazoo orchestra tour in september 1972. sometime after that tour, zappa decided to drop the lyrics and play it strictly as an instrumental; eventually finding its way into the yellow snow suite. in 1978, zappa resurrected and revised the lyrics (sung by keyboardist tommy mars) into the suite. rollo was performed on october 21, 1978 during zappa's appearance as host of "saturday night live". for the broadcast, tommy mars' vocals were modulated via a vocoder to avoid issues with network censors concerning the song's lyrical content. a disc jockey in pittsburgh edited the album versions of "don't eat the yellow snow" and "nanook rubs it" to play on his radio show. while zappa toured europe, he learned of this version's success, and decided to create his own edited version once he returned to the united states, and released it as a single. the version released as a single contains some of the album version of "don't eat the yellow snow", most of "nanook rubs it", and the intro to "st. alfonzo's pancake breakfast." the single also appears on frank zappa's best-of, "strictly commercial", which title is taken from the lyrics of the song "nanook rubs it". the single was zappa's first chart entry on the billboard hot 100, peaking at #86 in november 1974. a."don't eat the yellow snow" – 3:26 b."cosmik debris" – 4:10 on april 14, 2014, zappa records released a special limited edition re-issue of the single edit originally released in 1974. this edition contains an alternative version of the piece "down in de dew" (from zappa's 1996 posthumous release "läther") as the b-side. the record sleeve uses a previously rejected cover photo for "apostrophe (')". mbeya range is a volcanic mountain range in mbeya region, in southwestern tanzania, east africa. it forms an arc just north of the town of mbeya and includes loleza peak (2656 m.), mbeya peak (2565 m.), nyanuwa peak (2332 m.), and pungulumo (1909 m.). the range is at the junction of the eastern gregory rift and western albertine rift valleys. and is in rungwe volcanic province. the songwe scarp terminates the rukwa trough at its southeast end and forms the northwestern side of the mbeya range. the poroto mountains and mount rungwe lie to the south, and the kipengere range to the southeast. overgrazing and extensive wood cutting have in the mountains resulted in unstable slopes which has caused increased surface runoff, soil erosion, and land degradation. joseph mullaly (died 1906) was a 19th-century brickmaker in los angeles, california, and a member of the los angeles common council, the city's governing body. mullaly came to california in 1852 and to los angeles in 1854, where he began brickmaking along with partners samuel ayers and david porter. their best year was 1858, when they sold two million bricks for improvements proposed in 1859. two of the historic buildings for which he made bricks from the clay found on the site or nearby were the john rains house in today's rancho cucamonga, in 1860, and the a.t. currier house in the pomona valley, in 1875. the residence of mr. mullally is situated on the corner of buena vista [today's north broadway] and college streets, ... one of the finest residences in the city of los angeles. the grounds have a frontage of one hundred and eighty-five feet on buena vista street and two hundred and eighty-five feet on college, and contain a fine bearing orchard, consisting of orange, lemon, pear, apple trees, etc. a democrat, mullaly was a member of the los angeles common council in 1857–58, 1872–73, 1874–78 and 1881–83. in 1896 he owned a rooming house called "the wellington." at the time of his death in december 1906, he was noted as "one of the oldest residents of los angeles and a member of the society of pioneers." waffle shop: a reality show was a performance art project and restaurant in the east liberty neighborhood of pittsburgh. the restaurant was operated by carnegie mellon university students. the waffle shop was part of a trend in pittsburgh to support performance art within the urban core. in addition to serving food, students operate a talk show live-streamed online, featuring restaurant patrons as guests. it opened in 2008 by carnegie mellon university art professor jon rubin as a 2-semester student art project. the project/restaurant was so successful during that initial run that it was continued for several more years. some special talk shop themes have included ringtones as "art." the related sign atop the building was also used for public art purposes, and later became known as the last billboard. the billboard is still in place and continues to be changed periodically. local food critics reviewed it relatively favorably, noting the unique talk show situation. it closed in 2012. pilularia globulifera, or pillwort, is an unusual species of fern native to western europe, where it grows at edges of lakes, ponds, ditches and marshes, on wet clay or clay-sand soil, sometimes in water up to deep. it has a pea-shaped 4-chambered sporocarp, each chamber formed from a modified leaf and containing several sori bearing both macrosporangia and microsporangia. the species is thus heterosporous. pillwort grows on silt and mud at the margins of lakes, ponds and other watercourses that are submerged for at least part of the year. some of the plants growing in association with this species in the uk include water celery ("apium inundatum"), marsh pennywort ("hydrocotyle vulgaris") and lesser spearwort ("ranunculus flammula"). this is a rare species, declining as its wetland habitats are reduced by eutrophication and drainage, but is regarded as of least concern by the iucn red list. it is listed on schedule 8 of the wildlife (northern ireland) order 1985, but it has not been seen there since 1970 and may now be extinct in the province. it is protected under the wildlife and countryside act 1981 in the rest of the uk, where it is now classified as vulnerable. pillwort can be grown in a "bog garden" or as a marginal aquatic in a garden pond. nina van koeckhoven (born 6 october 1983) is a belgian freestyle swimmer and triathlete. she won two medals at the 2000 european aquatics championships and participated in the 2000 summer olympics in four events, but did not reach the finals. van koeckhoven was born in ghent but later moved to zelzate. in 1991, she started swimming in a club. her first international success was a bronze medal in the 200 m freestyle at the 1997 european youth olympic festival in lisbon. next year she won two more bronze medals, in the 100 m and 200 m freestyle at the european junior swimming championships. from 1999 she competed in regular competitions and reached the finals at the 1999 european aquatics championships, again in the 200 m freestyle. her best results came in 2000 when she won two european medals and passed the olympic selection. in 2001, she won one more bronze medal, at the fina swimming world cup in paris, and set a national record in the 200 m freestyle (2'00"90) that stood for at least 10 years. however, the same year she had serious food poisoning from which she could not fully recover. in january 2012, having won 10 national titles she retired from competitive swimming. she works as criminologist with the belgian police and competes in triathlon (since 2010). 63 cygni is a single star in the northern constellation of cygnus, located around 1,030 light years away from sun. it is visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.56. 63 cyg is moving closer to the earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −26 km/s. this is an evolved star showing a stellar spectrum with mixed traits between a bright giant and supergiant. it has been chosen as a spectral standard for the class of k4 ib–iia. for reasons that are not yet clear, 63 cygni is displaying very long period (982 days) and low-amplitude (742 m/s) variations in radial velocity. the star has expanded to 35 times the sun's radius and is radiating 4,397 times the sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,204 k. stateline dam (national id # ut82904) is a dam in summit county, utah, less than a half-mile south of the utah-wyoming state line. the earthen rockfill dam was constructed between 1977 and 1979 by the united states bureau of reclamation with a height of 143 feet and 2900 feet long at its crest. it impounds east fork of smiths fork for flood control and irrigation storage, part of the lyman project, along with the nearby meeks cabin dam. the dam is owned by the bureau and is operated by the local bridger valley water conservancy district. the reservoir it creates, stateline reservoir, has a water surface of 304 acres and has a maximum capacity of 12,000 acre-feet. recreation includes fishing (for rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout), boating, and camping at 41 forest service campsites. although public access is unrestricted and the water quality is excellent, the water is too cold for most swimmers. 47 cygni is a triple star system in the northern constellation of cygnus, and is located around 4,000 light years from the earth. it is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.61. the system is moving closer to the earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −4.6 km/s. the dual nature of this system was recognized by annie cannon in 1912, and she assigned the pair separate henry draper catalogue identifiers. they orbit each other with a period of around . the primary component is itself a spectroscopic binary in a near circular orbit with a period of around . the "a" sin "i" value for the primary is , where "a" is the semimajor axis and "i" is the orbital inclination. it has been repeatedly resolved by speckle interferometery since 1973. radio emission was detected from this system in 1985/86. the supergiant primary is a slow irregular variable with an amplitude of about 0.1 magnitudes. its close companion has 57% of the mass of the sun. the secondary is a hot b-type main-sequence star, but still 2.5 magnitudes fainter than the primary. sebastian ross (born 7 may 1993) is a professional australian rules footballer playing for the st kilda football club in the australian football league (afl). he is the cousin of jobe watson and nephew of tim

northern constellation of cygnus, located roughly 1,300 light years away from earth. it is visible to the naked eye as a blue-white hued star with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.74. the primary component and brightest member of this system, designated 59 cyg aa, is a rapidly rotating be star with a stellar classification of b1.5 vnne. this is a well-studied star thanks to pronounced spectral variations that have been observed since 1916, and two short-term shell star phases that were observed in 1973 and 1974–5. it is actually a confirmed spectroscopic binary system with a high temperature subdwarf o-type companion in a 28-day orbital period. the latter is heating the nearest side of the circumstellar gaseous disk that surrounds the primary. orbiting the primary pair is 59 cyg ab, a magnitude 7.64 a-type main-sequence star of class a3v, located at an angular separation of . a fourth component is a magnitude 9.8 a-type giant star of class a8iii at a separation of along a position angle (pa) of 352°, as of 2008. the fifth companion is magnitude 11.7 at a separation of and a pa of 141°. gaia data release 2 suggests that the companions at and are respectively and away and moving in approximately the same direction as the primary triple. 30 cygni is a class a5iii (white giant) star in the constellation cygnus. its apparent magnitude is 4.83 and it is approximately 610 light years away based on parallax. the bayer letter ο (omicron) has been variously applied to two or three of the stars 30, 31, and 32 cygni. 30 cygni has sometimes been designated as ο cygni with the other two stars being ο and ο respectively. for clarity, it is preferred to use the flamsteed designation 30 cygni rather than one of the bayer designations. 30 cygni is about six arc-minutes from 31 cygni a and seven arc-minutes from 31 cygni b. that pair is known as ο cygni, while ο cygni is a degree away. both ο and ο are 4th magnitude stars. carex humilis (also known as dwarf sedge) is a species of sedge that can be found in western europe. 57 cygni is a close binary star system in the constellation cygnus, located about 530 light years from earth. it is visible to the naked eye as a blue-white hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.80. the pair have a magnitude difference of 0.34. this system is moving closer to the earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −21 km/s. this is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 2.85 days and an eccentricity of 0.15. they show a steady change in their longitude of periastron, showing an apsidal period of . the system does not form an eclipsing binary, having the orbital inclination of around 48°. both components are b-type main-sequence stars with a stellar classification of b5 v. the voice of marty bell – the quartet of don elliott is an album by american jazz trumpeter don elliott's quartet with vocalist marty bell which was recorded in 1956 for the riverside label. allmusic awarded the album 3 stars. 55 cygni (55 cyg) is a blue supergiant star in the constellation cygnus. it is thought to be a member of the cygnus ob7 stellar association at about 2,700 light years. its apparent magnitude is 4.86, but this is slightly variable and the star is also called v1661 cyg. when first analysed, it was classified as an irregular supergiant variable, but subsequent studies have treated it as an alpha cygni variable. it shows pulsations with multiple periods from a few hours to 22 days, and both p- and g-modes. apart from p- and g-modes, strange mode and associated instabilities have also been found in models of this star. the spectrum also shows variation, leading to different classifications being given for the star. the exact properties of 55 cygni are not known precisely and are also variable. it is a hot luminous supergiant several hundred thousand times as luminous as the sun. this star was originally a standard for the b3 ia spectral type. the type of pulsations that 55 cyg exhibits suggest that it was previously a red supergiant that has shed its outer layers. the most massive red supergiants are expected to pass through a blue supergiant phase before becoming a wolf-rayet star and eventually exploding as a type ib or ic supernova. tradegood, formerly known as isupplier intelligence (isi), is a global sourcing platform that connects buyers and suppliers

among all the surfaces that can be generated in this way, it is the one that minimizes the surface area. a basic problem in the calculus of variations is finding the curve between two points that produces this minimal surface of revolution. a minimal surface of revolution is a subtype of minimal surface. a minimal surface is defined not as a surface of minimal area, but as a surface with a mean curvature of 0. since a mean curvature of 0 is a necessary condition of a surface of minimal area, all minimal surfaces of revolution are minimal surfaces, but not all minimal surfaces are minimal surfaces of revolution. as a point forms a circle when rotated about an axis, finding the minimal surface of revolution is equivalent to finding the minimal surface passing through two circular wireframes. a physical realization of a minimal surface of revolution is soap film stretched between two parallel circular wires: the soap film naturally takes on the shape with least surface area. if the half-plane containing the two points and the axis of revolution is given cartesian coordinates, making the axis of revolution into the "x"-axis of the coordinate system, then the curve connecting the points may be interpreted as the graph of a function. if the cartesian coordinates of the two given points are formula_1, formula_2, then the area of the surface generated by a continuous function formula_3 may be expressed mathematically as and the problem of finding the minimal surface of revolution becomes one of finding the function that minimizes this integral, subject to the boundary conditions that formula_5 and formula_6. in this case, the optimal curve will necessarily be a catenary. the axis of revolution is the directrix of the catenary, and the minimal surface of revolution will thus be a catenoid. solutions based on discontinuous functions may also be defined. in particular, for some placements of the two points the optimal solution is generated by a discontinuous function that is nonzero at the two points and zero everywhere else. this function leads to a surface of revolution consisting of two circular disks, one for each point, connected by a degenerate line segment along the axis of revolution. this is known as a goldschmidt solution after german mathematician carl wolfgang benjamin goldschmidt, who announced his discovery of it in his 1831 paper "determinatio superficiei minimae rotatione curvae data duo puncta jungentis circa datum axem ortae" ("determination of the surface-minimal rotation curve given two joined points about a given axis of origin"). to continue the physical analogy of soap film given above, these goldschmidt solutions can be visualized as instances in which the soap film breaks as the circular wires are stretched apart. however, in a physical soap film, the connecting line segment would not be present. additionally, if a soap film is stretched in this way, there is a range of distances within which the catenoid solution is still feasible but has greater area than the goldschmidt solution, so the soap film may stretch into a configuration in which the area is a local minimum but not a global minimum. for distances greater than this range, the catenary that defines the catenoid crosses the "x"-axis and leads to a self-intersecting surface, so only the goldschmidt solution is feasible. bruce sandilands is a visually impaired paralympic athletics competitor from australia who competed in the 1980 arnhem paralympics as a classified "b" athlete in the men's 400 m and 1500 m. he won a bronze medal in the 1500 m b event. he was also a member of the goalball team. he was from victoria. he has played blind cricket in victoria. juan maria sepulveda (1828, los angeles – 1868, los angeles) was the owner of a ranch in the south bay area in 1858, located on santa monica bay in los angeles county, california. the area, originally part of the spanish land grant of rancho boca de santa monica, later became known as the huntington palisades. he is the son of francisco sepulveda and maria ramona serrano. he was named to the los angeles common council in a special election on august 9, 1853, serving until may 4, 1854. a native of los angeles, he was married to jesus alvarado sepulveda, and they had a son, ildefonso a. sepulveda, born about 1861. he died on october 3, 1868.

club in canada. after establishing the tai iku dojo in vancouver in 1924, sasaki and his students opened several branch schools in british columbia. in 1940, however, all dojos were shut down by the government and their japanese members forced into internment camps due to fears that japanese-canadians would act against canada on behalf of japan during the second world war. after the war was over, the government encouraged internees to relocate, and many of sasaski's students went on to establish their own dojos across canada. sasaki was inducted into the canadian olympic hall of fame in 1986 as a 'builder'. metallwarenfabrik spreewerk gmbh was a german weapons manufacturing company. spreewerk produced a number of important weapons and components before and during world war ii including 280,880 of the walther p.38 pistol which was the standard service pistol of the german "heer", and the famous 8.8 cm flak anti-aircraft gun. the berlin-karlsruher industrie werke (berka) was founded in 1920 as a successor to the deutsche waffen und munitionsfabriken ag, one of germany's largest munitions firms of the prewar era. under the regime of the versailles treaty the firm was forced to give up the manufacture of armaments, which had been its core business. most of the facilities that had grown up to meet the needs of war were reduced and berka carried on with factories in berlin and karlsruhe, manufacturing a variety of light metal goods. in 1928 the firm passed under the control of günther quandt who moved the company into the production of business machines, acquiring typewriter manufacturer olympia schreibmaschinen in 1929, and opening a new factory in 1933 at erfurt to manufacture cash registers and other business machines. under herr quandt's leadership further acquisitions followed. in 1938 the firm re-entered the field of munitions production, establishing metallwarenfabrik spreewerk to undertake the fabrication of munitions components at the former berlin-spandau factory of the defunct deutsche waffen und munitionsfabriken. this was followed in 1939 by the establishment of a modern ammunition loading facility on a forty hectare site near the city of lübeck by the newly established maschinen für massenverpackung gmbh. early in 1940 the firm strengthened its role in the manufacture of industrial machinery through the acquisition of the berlin-anhaltische maschinenbau of dessau. the factories of the firm include: subsidiaries of the firm include: spreewerk was formed in september 1935 in spandau germany as a subsidiary of "deutschen industrie-werke a.g." (diwag). spreewerk was involved in weapons production from its formation until april 1945 at the spandau complex; and from june 1942 to april 1945 at the grottau, czechoslovakia factory named werk grottau. wwii era weapons produced by spreewerk include: the "waffenamt" inspector at spreewerk grottau was assigned code waa88. the "waffenamt" stamp applied to spreewerk produced p.38 pistols was an eagle over 88 (e/88). spreewerk produced p.38 pistols were marked with the "cyq" and "cvq" manufacturer's code. elena florea may refer to the first national bank of adams is a historic commercial building located on main street in adams, minnesota, united states. built in 1924, it was designed by the noted prairie school architects purcell & elmslie. the interior of the building includes a mural by john w. norton. the building also housed the village council chambers and was later operated as a municipal liquor store and known as the adams municipal liquor store. it was listed on the national register of historic places in 1986. davidaster rubiginosus or the orange sea lily is a species of crinoid in the family comasteridae. at one time it was classified as "nemaster rubiginosa" but the world register of marine species has determined that the valid name is "davidaster rubiginosus". it is found on reefs in the tropical western atlantic and the caribbean sea. the orange sea lily is a stalkless crinoid. it has twenty to thirty five arms long radiating from the calyx, a cup-like body with a lid, the tegmen. each arm is feather-like and has many pinnules projecting alternately from one side and the other. these have an ambulacral groove on the oral surface which is continuous with the groove on the arm. the arms are usually orange with yellow curved up tips but there is some variation in colour and they are sometimes white with black tips. the grooves are black. the arms and pinnules are composed of a series of jointed plates and there are three tube feet at each junction. the tube feet produce strands of mucus which trap plankton. food particles are passed along the grooves by cilia to the mouth which is at the centre of the tegmen. the orange sea lily is found on reefs at depths of between . its range includes florida, the caribbean sea, the gulf of mexico and the bahamas southwards to the coast of brazil. in the daytime it usually keeps its body hidden in a crevice, under coral or inside a sponge, with several of its arms extended to filter feed. in strong currents or heavy seas, it stops feeding and retracts all its arms. at night it emerges from its hiding place and may be found poised on top of a coral or sea fan with its arms extended to feed. in a study in jamaica, it was found that, unlike many tropical crinoids, the orange sea lily has a regular annual breeding cycle involving the release into the sea of gametes in the late autumn and winter. after fertilisation the eggs hatch into barrel-shaped vitellaria larva with several rings of cilia. these do not feed and after a few days settle on the seabed and undergo metamorphosis into juvenile sea lilies. mirage i (formerly "magic i", "seminole empress", "crucero express", "jupiter", "bolero", "scandinavica" and built as "bolero") was a cruiseferry built in 1973 in france for fred. olsen & co.. it was one of three sister ships, along with and . in march 2004, it was bought by "magic 1 cruise line corp", a wholly owned subsidiary of isramco, inc.

"l. cajennensis" is known from the coast of french guyana. only one specimen has been found for this species, in 1847, and since then, other authors have considered it too insufficiently described to comment further on it. janey is a diminutive form of the feminine given name jane. mpanda is a city in katavi region of tanzania, east africa with a postcode number 50100. it is the administrative centre of katavi region, mpanda district and is itself one of the four districts of the region. mpanda is a "frontier town" in the far west of tanzania, roughly 500 km north of mbeya and 380 km south-west of tabora. it is the administrative headquarters for the katavi region, (created by subdivision of the rukwa region in 2012), and for the mpanda district. it is an important centre in the rural economy, especially for the marketing and transshipment of rice and maize. the katavi region is increasingly of interest to mineral prospectors, especially for gold. it is also a staging point for visiting the beautiful katavi national park, with its headquarters just 35 km to the south at sitalike. the park has a good cross-section of east african wildlife but is perhaps best known for its populations of hippopotamus. as yet all roads into mpanda (from sumbawanga, tabora or kigoma) remain unsealed and may for brief periods become impassable at the height of the wet season (particularly february–march). the tanzanian government has in progress a project to seal a large part of the road north from sumbawanga. sumry operate two daily bus services to sumbawanga (240 km 5hours), one of those going on to mbeya. several bus lines operate to tabora (380 km, 9 hours). local services include minibuses to sitalike, and daily bus services to usevya and to the fishing villages of karema and ikola on lake tanganyika. mpanda is the endpoint of a rail line with passenger services from tabora (approx 12-15hours). in 2012 the government completed an upgrade of mpanda airport to a 2 km sealed runway and a commercial air service has commenced. mpanda was made the centre of a new catholic diocese in october 2000 and boasts a very fine cathedral with magnificent pictorial windows. the town is also the centre for the anglican diocese of lake rukwa created in june 2010. there is a fine moravian church and other christian services are provided by lutheran, african inland church and tanzania

the noted prairie school architects purcell & elmslie, and is significant as the smallest public building they designed. it was listed on the national register of historic places in 1974. the building listed on the nrhp as the "jump river town hall" is actually the town hall of the town of mckinley. the town hall of the town of jump river is the larger stone building built by the wpa a few hundred yards to the east. both lie in the hamlet of jump river - hence the confusion. in 1915, when the mckinley town hall was built, mckinley was a rather remote corner of northern wisconsin. pine/river logging was largely done. hardwood/railroad logging was still going pretty well, and some of the land was being taken by farmers and settlers. the town of mckinley had been split from the town of westboro in 1902 and included what is now mckinley and what is now the town of jump river. purcell & elmslie was a prominent architecture firm of the prairie school, perhaps second only to frank lloyd wright. key ideas of this style were that the building should fit with the landscape, often by emphasizing horizontal lines to suggest the wide-open prairies, and that america should have an original style, not aping older styles from europe. william gray purcell designed the town hall with a trapezoidal facade at each end, rising up well above the roof-line. between those ends runs a long gable roof with wide eaves and a band of windows down each side. at the north end is an entry porch and flagpole. the exterior walls are covered by horizontal board and batten, stained green. the interior is one long hall with two small offices. today the town hall is little changed from the time it was built, and is still used for town meetings and voting. purcell wrote about his design of the building as follows: "i used the horizontal interlocking system of broad boards and fillets and gave the building something of the feeling of the old log lumber camp buildings. whether the jump river populace enjoyed having their town hall look like a wanigan instead of a little cracker box, i do not know, but it looked comfortable and practical." of particular note is the building's small size. one of the ideas of the prairie school was that "serious architectural design can be applied to even the least-grand commissions." the only other public building designed by purcell and elmslie is the kasson municipal building in minnesota. the mckinley town hall is much smaller - basically a one-room building - but with a unique, attractive design that exemplifies the prairie style's progressive ideal. davidaster discoideus or the beaded crinoid is a species of feather star in the family comasteridae. it was previously known as "nemaster discoidea" but the world register of marine species has determined that the valid name is "davidaster discoideus". it is found on reefs in the caribbean sea and northern coast of south america. the beaded crinoid has a cup shaped body, usually hidden from sight, from which about twenty arms project. only a few of these are usually visible at one time and each can be curled up in a coil. short pinnules extend from either side of the arms like vanes on a feather. both the arms and the pinnules are formed from a large number of jointed plates which gives them great overall flexibility. there is an ambulacral groove along the oral surface of each pinnule which is continuous with grooves on the arms. these are linked to grooves leading to the mouth forming feeding channels. the grooves have flap-like lappets overhanging them. at each plate junction on the pinnules there are three tube feet of different length used in food capture and manipulation. the arms can be long and are the only part of the crinoid normally visible as its body is generally concealed in a crevice or inside a sponge. at the base of the crinoid are several cirri, unbranched appendages with which it grips the rock or other substrate. the arms are orange or red and the pinnules are grey or banded in black and white and have a beaded appearance. the beaded crinoid is found in the caribbean sea and the gulf of mexico. it is found at depths between and is generally uncommon. these crinoids often live in the same concealed spot for several years and should not be moved by divers as they are very sensitive to changes in water temperature and illumination. the beaded crinoid extends its arms and pinnules in slow flowing water. the longest tube feet on the pinnules trap planktonic particles and push them into the ambulacral groove. they are prevented from leaving this by the remaining tube feet and the lappets. cilia lining the groove form particles into boluses and move these along to the mouth. the beaded crinoid can sometimes be seen "walking" across the seabed on its arms. the kasson municipal building, also known as old city hall, is a historic building located on main street in kasson, minnesota, united states. built in 1917, it was designed by purcell & elmslie in the prairie school style. it was listed on the national register of historic places in 1982. in 2005, a printing and copying business began operating in the building.

blackfoot dam (national id # id00204) is a dam in caribou county, idaho, in the eastern part of the state. the earthen dam was completed in 1911 by the united states bureau of indian affairs, with a height of 55 feet and 304 feet long at its crest. it impounds the blackfoot river of idaho for flood control and irrigation water storage primarily for the fort hall indian reservation. the dam is owned and operated by the bureau. its construction came eight years before the 1919 formation of caribou county. the reservoir it creates, blackfoot reservoir, has a water surface of 18,000 acres, and a maximum capacity of 413,000 acre-feet. blackfoot dam impounds the river at the northwestern end of the reservoir; the china hat dam towards the southwest of the reservoir was constructed in 1923 to resolve seepage problems. recreation includes fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout, as well as carp. joseph danger is a loa reflecting either papa legba, or papa loko. either one, he would be their petro form. there is also a strong possibility that he is loa from louisiana voodoo. papa loko is a rada loa syncretised with catholic saint joseph and is strict with tradition and justice, making joseph danger his aggressive petro form. some have identified joseph as a petro form of papa legba, who is more over known as kalfu/mait' carrefour. it is more likely joseph danger is papa loko's petro loa form, hence his name being joseph in relation to st. joseph. in matroid theory, a binary matroid is a matroid that can be represented over the finite field gf(2). that is, up to isomorphism, they are the matroids whose elements are the columns of a (0,1)-matrix and whose sets of elements are independent if and only if the corresponding columns are linearly independent in gf(2). a matroid formula_1 is binary if and only if every regular matroid, and every graphic matroid, is binary. a binary matroid is regular if and only if it does not contain the fano plane (a seven-element non-regular binary matroid) or its dual as a minor. a binary matroid is graphic if and only if its minors do not include the dual of the graphic matroid of formula_20 nor of formula_21. if every circuit of a binary matroid has odd cardinality, then its circuits must all be disjoint from each other; in this case, it may be represented as the graphic matroid of a cactus graph. if formula_1 is a binary matroid, then so is its dual, and so is every minor of formula_1. additionally, the direct sum of binary matroids is binary. any algorithm that tests whether a given matroid is binary, given access to the matroid via an independence oracle, must perform an exponential number of oracle queries, and therefore cannot take polynomial time. tine bossuyt (born 10 june 1980) is a retired belgian swimmer who won a bronze medal in the 4×100 m freestyle relay at the 2000 european aquatics championships. she also competed in the 2000 summer olympics in the 100 m and 4×100 m freestyle events, but did not reach the finals. after winning 33 national titles and setting 43 national records, bossuyt retired from competitive swimming in may 2007. this is a list of journalists killed during the somali civil war, which began in 1988 and is ongoing. according to the committee to protect journalists (cpj), an estimated 59 radio, print and television reporters operating within somalia died in the period from the start of the civil war in 1992 to 2013. the cpj estimated that the majority were locally based (73%), male (96%), broadcast journalists (45%), worked on the radio (65%), and were non-freelance (82%). most were assassinated (65%), while covering primarily war (49%) and political stories (55%). a number also received threats prior to their deaths (22%). the sources of fire were largely political action groups (50%), mainly al-shabaab; the assailants' affiliations were unknown in only 22% of the cases. as a consequence, the country was described by al-jazeera as the most dangerous place in africa for working journalists. early in the conflict, european journalists like jean-claude jumel of france, dan eldon of the united kingdom and hansi krauss of germany were among those slain. the deadliest year for foreign correspondents in general was in 1993, according to the cpj. the last foreign journalist to be killed in somalia was noramfaizul mohd nor of malaysia, a cameraman with bermana tv covering a relief operation. prior to the capital mogadishu's pacification by the somali national army in mid-2011, the independent radio shabelle and hornafrik media inc, among other somali media outlets, were frequently targeted by islamic militants. among the casualties during this most volatile 2007-2011 period was ali iman sharmarke, one of the founders of hornafrik, who was killed in his role as director on 11 august 2007. since their ouster, the insurgents have resorted to issuing death threats and targeted assassinations in order to discourage reporting on their activities. due to frustration at the increasing number of expatriate journalists returning to the capital after the relative improvement in security, the militants in 2012 intensified their anti-media campaign, killing a record 18 reporters during the year. jamal osman, a journalist working for "the guardian" (uk) and channel 4, suggested in an october 2012 editorial that one of the factors behind the spate of killings of media workers in somalia was graft amongst reporters. this was in sharp contrast to the widely held belief and cpj data suggesting that the assassinations and death threats bore the hallmarks of the islamist extremists. in a formal press statement, the national union of somali journalists (nusoj) characterized osman's editorial as "defamatory and libelous", and suggested that it represented a conscious effort to cast aspersions on the somali media and was "an attempt to divert the public attention by aiding the real criminals, which could contribute the killing of somali journalists to continue." the organization further indicated that "more than half of the cases took place in mogadishu and all have been targeted in line with their profession and the majority of them have been claimed by the shabab." despite the attempted intimidation, news outlets have continued to proliferate, with the number of radio and television stations in mogadishu rising from 11 to 30 in less than five months. journalists have also persisted in covering the war beat. in early february 2013, the government launched an independent task force on human rights tasked with investigating allegations of journalist intimidation and violence. featuring a media representative, the 13-member committee is scheduled to publish a report on its findings and recommended courses of action at the end of its three-month mandate. the task force will eventually give way to a permanent parliamentary human rights commission, which will have the capacity to investigate allegations over a longer period. cotton tree is a coastal neighbourhood within the suburb of maroochydore in the sunshine coast region, queensland, australia. although not officially bounded, cotton tree is generally recognised as being bounded by the maroochy river and cornmeal creek to the north, and to the south and west by aerodrome road and by the pacific ocean to the east. the area takes its name from the "hibiscus tiliaceus" plant which is also known as coastal cotton tree or cottonwood. plenty of these are still visible near caravan park and the old creek near fourth avenue. the first european 'holiday maker' to arrive was convict john graham in 1827 who escaped from moreton bay and spent six years living with local aborigines belonging to the gubbi gubbi language group. the whole (maroochy shire) area was protected by the bunya proclamation 1842–1860. this was established after andrew petrie explored the area in 1838 and named the maroochy river using the language of brisbane aboriginals who accompanied him. timber getters arrived in the 1850s but the maroochy river bar wasn't navigable so mooloolah river bar was used instead with cotton tree used as a timber depot in 1856 by william pettigrew and purchased 1864. he ran steamer ships in both rivers and to brisbane and thus opened a post office receiving office in 1891 as the first shop in cotton tree. the headland at alexandra headland was used as a bullock paddock and for his own home which was also part of his 330-acre landholding. the cotton tree area was first gazetted as a wharf and water reserve (215 acres) in 1873. by 1880 it was re-gazetted as a camping reserve and used by the salvation army amongst others. the town of maroochydore was subdivided from the cotton tree reserve in 1903 by surveyor thomas o'connor. (thomas & o'connor streets both near bradman avenue bear his name). until the 1910s, cotton tree was accessible only by water. then a road through what is now maroochydore was planned to access the area. by 1927 it was a main road. by 1937 it was a bitumen road. the fatal maroochy air crash occurred on the beach on 30 december 1950. cotton tree has a number of heritage-listed sites, including: a heritage application for cotton tree bacpackers timber building was made but subsequently refused. cotton tree has its own post office located in king street since the 1930s. the suburb consists of a beach, a river mouth, several restaurants and cafes, lawn bowls club, rsl club, surf club, swan's rugby club, library, child care centre, resorts, homes, units, weir's surf shop, olympic swimming pool and numerous other shops, offices and businesses. the maroochydore surf life saving club is right on the beach. pincushion island currently sits just 100m off the sand to the north of river mouth. (the river mouth moves not the island) a large part of cotton tree is used for camping and is now known as the cotton tree caravan park. today camping still takes place on 8.7ha of the total 90-110ha. the land size changes significantly based on the sand movement and development of river mouth. cotton tree includes 2 caravan parks which maybe heritage listed. also includes 2 rugby union fields, 6 tennis courts, 3 bowling greens, 50m swimming pool, 2x0.5 basketball courts, 2 ping pong tables and 2 waterfront parks, 1 on the river, 1 on the beach. surf breaks include pipes/seabreeze, poofters dunnies/abdul's, carpark, pinnies, the mouth and north shore. (pipes was named after the location of the old sewer effluent pipe, poofters after a derelict toilet block, abdul's after death of local surfer ryan abdy) although 'unbounded' as a suburb it's generally recognised as being east of aerodrome road and including all numbered avenues and esplanades. sometimes known as forgotten tree. saproscinus spectabilis known as the pale-lipped shade skink is a small lizard found in queensland and new south wales, australia. the habitat is cool, shaded gullies where it feeds on small insects. it may be seen on sunny rocky outcrops within gullies. ground cover and rocky cracks are required to avoid predation from birds such as the kookaburra and pied currawong. macau competed at the 2012 summer paralympics in london, united kingdom from august 29 to september 9, 2012. yseult gervy (born 20 january 1979) is a retired belgian swimmer who won the bronze medal in the 400 m medley at the 2000 european aquatics championships. she also competed in the 1996 and 2000 summer olympics in the 100 m and 200 m backstroke, 200 m and 400 m medley, and 4×200 m freestyle relay events. her best olympic achievement was 12th place in the relay. gervy had serious health problems in the early 2001 that forced her to retire in 2002. before the retirement she was trained by her brother at the club cercle de natation bruxelles atalante. between 1994 and 2000 she won 20 national titles and set 17 national records. reclaiming the dead sea scrolls is a book was written by lawrence schiffman, published in 1994 by doubleday, as part of the anchor research library. the book's aim was to explain the true meaning of the dead sea scrolls for judaism and christianity. previous to the publication of the book, many exaggerated and irresponsible claims about the scrolls were published. "reclaiming the dead sea scrolls" "sets before the public the real dead sea scrolls." the book also sets forth the author's theory that the dead sea scrolls were gathered at qumran by a sect which left jerusalem in the aftermath of the maccabean revolt. when the hasmonean rulers accepted the rulings of the pharisees, these sadducees took up residence in the judean desert. i. discovery and disclosure: liberating the scrolls

as senator and consul suffectus. he unsuccessfully attempted to succeed his son-in-law pertinax as emperor in 193. sulpicianus was probably born in the cretan town of hierapytna around the year 137. a senator, he was probably the son of titus flavius titianus, who was the equestrian prefect of egypt under hadrian. sulpicianus’ early career is unknown, but in around 170 he was appointed suffect consul. sometime during the 170s he was made a member of the arval brethren, and he was appointed the proconsular governor of asia in 186. he may have had some involvement in the plot to murder the emperor commodus at the end of 192, and by early 193 he was appointed "praefectus urbi" of rome as a result of his marital ties to the incoming emperor pertinax, who was married to his daughter, flavia titiana, as part of the emperor’s attempt to shore up his support among the senatorial aristocracy. the aftermath of pertinax's murder saw sulpicianus trying to quell a disturbance among the praetorian guard. hearing of pertinax’s death, he was offered the imperial title and he turned to the praetorians to gain their approval. he proceeded to offer each soldier 20,000 sesterces, or eight years worth of wages, the same amount offered by marcus aurelius in 161. unfortunately, a fellow senator, didius julianus, appeared and outbid sulpicianus, thereby winning their support. julianus was saluted as "imperator" by the praetorians, and the new emperor proceeded to pardon his rival, retaining sulpicianus as the urban prefect. sulpicianus survived julianus’ death and the arrival of the new emperor septimius severus. however, possibly due to his having supported the rival imperial claimant clodius albinus, sulpicianus was prosecuted and executed in 197. sulpicianus had at least two children; a son, titus flavius titianus, who was suffect consul ca. 200 ad, and a daughter, flavia titiana, who was married to the emperor pertinax. he also had a number of estates around praeneste.

(arabic: مخيم الزعتري) is a refugee camp in jordan, located east of mafraq, which has gradually evolved into a permanent settlement; it is the world’s largest camp for syrian refugees. it was first opened on 28 july 2012 to host syrians fleeing the violence in the ongoing syrian civil war that erupted in march 2011. it is connected to the road network by a short road which leads to highway 10. the main concerns in early days related to the lack of sufficient food supplies and better accommodation. in 2013 it was reported that the camp was experiencing an increasing number of reports of crime. demonstrations were or are used as a forum to create awareness of the conflict and to express political views against the current government led by bashar al-assad and the violence inflicted by the syrian armed forces. due to the maximum capacity of 60,000 refugees in march 2013 a second camp was built 20 kilometres east of zarqa in the marjeeb al fahood plains. on 5 april 2014 a riot resulted in a number of injuries to both refugees and jordanian police. one refugee was killed by gunshot. in 2015, filmmakers zach ingrasci and chris temple lived in zaatari for a month, resulting in the documentary "salam neighbor". accurate counting of the number of refugees in the camp stopped during march 2013 due to the high influx of refugees that skyrocketed that month. the figures during the initial days varied slightly from day to day due to people 'escaping' or leaving the camp back to syria, and partly due to initial over-counting. movement out of the camp is restricted, controlled by temporary and limited permits to leave, which does not comply with the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of states. since the opening of the refugee camp in july 2012, the camp saw a dramatic increase in its population, that made it the largest population center in mafraq governorate within a few months: the largest solar plant ever built in a refugee camp went live on 13 november 2016, estimated to reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions from the camp by 13,000 metric tonnes per year, equivalent to 30,000 barrels of oil and saving us$5.5 million annually. the 12.9 megawatt peak solar photovoltaic plant was funded by the german government, through the kfw development bank at a cost of 15 million euros (us$17.5 million). it provides families with between 12 and 14 hours electricity each day - longer than previously. as a host country, jordan is estimated to spend $870 million a year supporting syrian refugees; if treated as a traditional donor, it would have contributed 5,622% of its fair share. the camp is under joint administration of the syrian refugee affairs directorate and unhcr. in march 2013 the unhcr named kilian kleinschmidt senior field coordinator of the camp; in late 2014, hovig etyemezian took over as camp manager. other actors include: community mobilization: wash (water/sanitation/hygiene) coordination and overall responsibility: water and sanitation facilities: women's and children's protection: by 2016 zaatari refugee camp was gradually moving away from a model of top-down service provision, as is usual with refugee camps administered by international humanitarian organisations. instead, under the aegis of the unhcr, the camp was transforming into a self-provisioning urban conglomeration, where refugees are provided with various forms of cash-based assistance and encouraged to address their own needs. as at march 2018, zaatari shelters and other structures had been mapped more than 25 times using satellite imagery by unosat. zaatari is one of the first camps to be mapped in detail through openstreetmap. ağaçyurdu is a village the central district (karaman) of karaman province, turkey. at it is

which was found during archaeological excavations of a mesolithic dwelling area at duvensee near klinkrade (herzogtum lauenburg) schleswig-holstein, germany in 1926. after a paddle from star carr in england, the duvensee paddle is the second oldest known paddle and is considered among the earliest evidence for the use of water transport in the mesolithic. the find is in the permanent exhibition of the archaeological museum hamburg in harburg, hamburg. the former bog duvenseer moor was located west of the village duvensee in a young drift landscape. the area, of from north to south and from east to west, originally was an open, shallow lake which gradually developed to a marsh. from the late 18th century, the marsh was drained by ditches to make usable for agriculture. the peat of the bog was cut for fuel. by the early 19th century only a small body of open water remained, which was eventually completely drained. in 1923 the geologist karl gripp discovered by chance a mesolithic settlement site while mapping the duvenseer moor. in the following years, the site was archaeologically investigated. archaeologists gustav schwantes (1924–1927), 1946 hermann schwabedissen (1946) and finally klaus bokelmann (1966–1967) excavated the bog and documented many dwelling places. besides numerous stone artifacts, the excavations provided only very few wooden tools, including the paddle found by schwantes in 1926, located in a former bank zone near a residential area. the duvensee paddle, found at , is one of the most outstanding finds from the duvenseer moor. the paddle was found broken into several pieces, but except for a few flaws was extremely well preserved. the excellent preservation status of the paddle's wood was caused by a very low level of oxygen in the lake's humid sediments that quickly covered the paddle, which subsequently kept the growth of micro organisms to a minimum. under normal oxygen conditions, fungi, bacteria, and insects would have caused a biological degradation of the wood in short time. only the end of the handle is missing and a corner of the paddle's leaf (blade) is broken off. the paddle has a length of , a width of and a thickness of . the leaf has a long rectangular shape with widely rounded corners, having a length of about and an asymmetric connection to the shaft. the weight of the paddle is . the paddle was carved from the stem of a pine tree, with knots smoothed to the shaft. after recovery, the paddle was treated with an unknown waxy substance for conservation. in the 1920s the paddle was typologically dated by palynological evidence to the mesolithic period. radiocarbon dating in the 1980s on several hazelnut shells and remaining wood from the find spot gave a more precise date of around 7390 ± 80 bc. an accelerator mass spectrometry ( c-ams) carried out in 2008 on two samples from the paddle yielded calibrated dates to 6527 ± 49 years bc and 6311 ± 38 years bc. of note are the distinctly different c-ages of samples from urban findings. before 1925, elementary school teacher ernst bornhöf, from nearby schiphorst, found two paddles which he incorporated in his school's prehistoric collection. both paddles were transferred to the helms-museum in 1925. one is a large-leafed paddle of oak, with a weight of . it was c-dated in 2008 to 1121 ± 22 before present (around 829 ad ± 22 years), the period of transition from the early- to high middle ages. the second paddle is now lost, and only a few written records and a photo of the object exist. it was probably made from pine wood having an incised decoration on the shaft, which is not recognizable in the photo. both paddles were recovered by bornhöft without documenting any further detail of the archaeological context. the results of the excavation enabled a reassessment of mesolithic cultures in northern germany. schwantes coined the name duvensee group for the cultural group that extends over schleswig-holstein, mecklenburg and parts of brandenburg. after the excavation schwantes published the duvensee paddle as the oldest paddle known worldwide and simultaneously as the oldest, even if only indirect, evidence for the use of boats in the mesolithic, which was widely viewed. this view has been tempered by the discovery of an older paddle from star carr. the discovery of the duvensee paddle aroused a huge interest in international archaeological communities, and the museum was asked for a copy of the paddle for the 1936 summer olympics. in the 1990s, the community of duvensee thought about using the paddle in its new coat of arms, but after consultation with heralds, the idea was rejected. after the town won a "most beautiful village in 2005" competition, a bronze replica of the paddle was cast and erected in front of the village hall. in probability theory and statistics, the generalized multivariate log-gamma (g-mvlg) distribution is a multivariate distribution introduced by demirhan and hamurkaroglu in 2011. the g-mvlg is a flexible distribution. skewness and kurtosis are well controlled by the parameters of the distribution. this enables one to control dispersion of the distribution. because of this property, the distribution is effectively used as a joint prior distribution in bayesian analysis, especially when the likelihood is not from the location-scale family of distributions such as normal distribution. if formula_1, the joint probability density function (pdf) of formula_2 is given as the following: where formula_4 for formula_5 and formula_7 is the correlation between formula_8 and formula_9, formula_10 and formula_11 denote determinant and absolute value of inner expression, respectively, and formula_12 includes parameters of the distribution. the joint moment generating function of g-mvlg distribution is as the following: formula_14 marginal central moment of formula_8 is as the following: marginal expected value formula_8 is as the following: where formula_20 and formula_21 are values of digamma and trigamma functions at formula_22, respectively. demirhan and hamurkaroglu establish a relation between the g-mvlg distribution and the gumbel distribution (type i extreme value distribution) and gives a multivariate form of the gumbel distribution, namely the generalized multivariate gumbel (g-mvgb) distribution. the joint probability density function of formula_23 is the following: the gumbel distribution has a broad range of applications in the field of risk analysis. therefore, the g-mvgb distribution should be beneficial when it is applied to these types of problems.. the term habitat i refers to the first united nations conference on human settlements, in vancouver, british columbia in canada, 31 may – 11 june 1976, which was convened by the united nations as governments began to recognize the magnitude and consequences of rapid urbanization. on 16 december 1976 the general assembly adopted resolution 31/109. it took note of the conference report, the vancouver declaration on human settlements, which carried an action plan with 64 recommendations for national action. as a further outcome of the conference, in 1977 a general assembly resolution 36/162 established the united nations centre for human settlements – unchs (habitat). it designated the commission on human settlements, a functional commission of the economic and social council (ecosoc), as the governing body. habitat ii met in istanbul, turkey, 3–14 june 1996. habitat iii met in quito, ecuador, from 17–20 october 2016. the vancouver declaration starts with a preamble stating that "unacceptable human settlements circumstances are likely to be aggravated by inequitable economic growth and uncontrolled urbanization, unless positive and concrete action is taken at national and international levels". the first action is "to adopt bold, meaningful and effective human settlement policies and spatial planning strategies (...) considering human settlements as an instrument and object of development". among the general principles, the conference advocated improving the quality of life through more equitable distribution of development benefits, planning and regulating land use, protecting the environment, integrating women and youth, and rehabilitating people displaced by natural and man-made catastrophes. in the guidelines for action, various elements of a human settlements policy are defined. focus is placed on harmonious integration, reduction of disparities between rural and urban areas, orderly urbanization, progressive minimum standards and community participation. the declaration states that "adequate shelter and services are a basic human right" and that "governments should assist local authorities to participate to a greater extent in national development". the declaration strongly emphasizes that "the use and tenure of land should be subject to public control". the substantive outcomes of the first habitat conference are a series of 64 recommendations for national action and a 44-page "action plan". these recommendations are organized in six sections. section a (settlements policies and strategies), section b (settlement planning), section c (shelter, infrastructure and services), section d (land) and section e (public participation).

at 11% exceeding the target of 7.8% which is also much higher than the national average of 7.9%. during the 10th five year plan (2002–2007), the gross state domestic product (gsdp) was expected to grow at around 5.3% but grew at 5.7%. the biggest contributors to gsdp growth are agriculture, public administration and construction work. tertiary sector of service sector continued to have the contribution to the gsdp with its share hovering between 58% and 60% during the past half a decade. the mizo's had long been open to the outside world before the advent of the british in the 1870's. in former times the mizo's used to collected rubber and barter that with salt. during the lushai expedition of 1871, a rupee would have given a fowl. the initial traders after british invasion of 1872 were bengali traders in bepari bazar near sairang. in 1922 there were only 91 shops in all of mizoram. there were only 2 shops in lunglei in 1914. the colonial state encouraged people to stop barter and encouraged monetary exchange so that it would be easier to collect household tax. the cash economy encouraged the mizo's to explore new trade routes in kachin. the practisce of shifting cultivation or jhumming started in mizoram after they learned that their crops could earn them money, earlier agriculture was practiced purely for sustenance. wet rice cultivation was started only in 1809 at champhai by the british colonial rulers to boost agriculture so that they could supply rice to their soldiers without having to import them. chief khamliana was among the first to plan oranges, pineapples, rubber, jackfruit and guava in mizoram. mizoram's cash economy also quickly expanded to labor. mizo's have a practice of voluntary labor which they do to help those in distress and people in need, the british relied on forced labor and the missionaries on child labor. later the authorities introduced labor from 1900's onward and wage was initially paid in the form of salt and later in terms of money. wage labour catalyzed mizoram's economy and encouraged many to join a career in the army. around 65% of the population of the state depended on agriculture, the sector's contribution to the gsdp was only 19.84% during the same period and that of the industry was 20.20%. the economic survey indicated that 32% of the cultivated area was under jhum and only 20%t of the demand for rice could be met within the state while a total of 1,428,600 tonnes of rice was lifted by the state government from outside. more than 70% of the total population is engaged in some form of agriculture. the age-old practice of "jhum" is being discouraged by the state government with schemes like the new land use policy a policy to help farmers move away from the traditional slash-and-burn method of cultivation. recently, mizoram government has entered into a new venture wherein oil palm and jatropha cultivation, for biofuels is being promoted. education is an important industry for mizoram. it boast of a large number of schools in the state which employ a number of people. mizoram has one central university, mizoram university and nit mizoram which is still functioning out of a rented place. the investment in education sector other than government in the state are icfai university, mizoram and church institutions like st. xavier's college, lengpui, higher and technical institute of mizoram, helen lowry college of arts & commerce. these quality education investment not only help in producing quality education but also provide education and save tution fees which would otherwise be remitted outside the state. mizoram has 2 hydr power plants, the 60 mw tuirial dam and 12 mw serlui b dam. mizoram’s current power demand is now only 115 mw. with other power projects like 24 mw tuirini hydel project, 210 tuivai hydel project in the pipeline, mizoram is soon expected to be not only power surplus but exporter of power. there is also plan for a 20 mw solar park in mizoram. it is estimated that mizoram still spends 25–28 crores for buying power from outside the state every month mizoram is yet to establish itself as a tourist destination for both indians and non-indians alike. tourists mostly visit such attractions as the hill stations of lalsavunga park, reiek and hmuifang. national parks and wildlife sanctuaries such as phawngpui national park, murlen national park and dampa tiger reserve. vantawng falls and tuirihiau falls in thenzawl. growth in tourism is abysmal due to lack of policy and incompetence of government officials. the tourism industry is mainly concentrated in building tourist lodges and highway restaurants without invitation of foreign or outside of the state investment in building up the tourism infrastructure. during 2009–14 against only rs 266.85 lakh was collected as revenue from these lodges and highway restaurants. the mizoram liquor (prohibition and control) or mlpc act of 2014 allowed opening of liquor shops and bars in the state and replaced the mizoram liquor total prohibition (mltp) act of 1995, as of march 2017, the state of 1.1 million people had 71,158 liquor card holders. a card holder is entitled to six 750ml bottles of imfl and 10 bottles each of wine and beer a month from 51 operational outlets. mizoram collected rs 19.44 crore tax revenue from the sale of liquor in 8 months after the mlpc act 2014 came into force in the state from january 16, 2015. mizoram is facing a number of difficulties in the advancement of industries. lack of means of dependable surface transport and poor accessibility is one of the major drawbacks. other problems faced by the state were the poor mineral resources, non-availability of good infrastructure and communication facilities, shortage of capital and lack of modern skills. a software technology park is however being established in mizoram university campus. a steel plant is also being established in mizoram. below is not a chart of trends in gross state product of mizoram at market prices estimated by "ministry of statistics and programme implementation" with figures in millions of indian rupees. the game take place

have reportedly always been strong. cyprus has been a supporter of armenia in its struggle for the recognition of the armenian genocide, economic stability and the resolution to the nagorno-karabakh conflict. in return armenia has been advocating a stable cyprus after the turkish invasion in 1974 and supporting a lasting solution to the cyprus dispute. today relations between armenia and cyprus include cooperation in the areas of trade, military, intelligence services, foreign policy and arts. inter ethnic fighting between armenia and neighbouring azerbaijan broke out shortly after the parliament of nagorno-karabakh, an autonomous oblast in azerbaijan, voted to unify the region with armenia on february 20, 1988. the armenian demand to unify karabakh with armenia, which proliferated in the late 1980s, began in a relatively peaceful manner; however, as the soviet union's disintegration neared, the dispute gradually grew into a violent conflict between the ethnic groups in nagorno-karabakh, resulting in ethnic cleansing by all sides. the joint declaration between cyprus and armenia in january 2011 mentions that the republic of cyprus expresses its support to the constructive efforts of armenia to resolve nagorno-karabakh conflict within the osce minsk group process through negotiations based on the principles of the united nations charter and the helsinki final act and the elements proposed by the presidents of the osce minsk group co-chair countries, which include, inter alia, the determination of the final status of nagorno-karabakh through legally binding expression of will. in return armenian president welcomed cyprus position as a member of eu for its balanced stance on the karabakh issue, drawing attention to determination of nagorno-karabakh’s final status in terms of legally binding free expression of will. . cyprus has been one of the pioneering countries in recognising the armenian genocide, when on 25 january 1965 foreign minister spyros kyprianou first raised the issue to the general assembly of the united nations. prior to his powerful speech, a delegation comprising arf dashnaktsoutiun bureau members dr. papken papazian and berj missirlia, as well as armenian national committee of cyprus members anania mahdessian and vartkes sinanian, handed him a memorandum urging cyprus' support in raising the issue at the united nations. cyprus was also the first european country (and the second world-wide, after uruguay) to officially recognise the armenian genocide. on 24 april 1975, after the determined efforts and the submission by representative dr. antranik l. ashdjian, resolution 36 was voted unanimously by the house of representatives. representative aram kalaydjian was instrumental in passing unanimously through the house of representatives two more resolutions regarding the armenian genocide: resolution 74/29–04–1982, submitted by the foreign relations' parliamentary committee, and resolution 103/19–04–1990, submitted by all parliamentary parties. resolution 103 declared 24 april as a national remembrance day of the armenian genocide in cyprus. since 1965, when cypriot government officials started participating in the annual armenian genocide functions, cyprus' political leaders are often keynote speakers in those functions organised to commemorate the armenian genocide. during the last years, there is usually a march starting from the centre of nicosia and ending at the sourp asdvadzadzin church in strovolos, where a commemorative event takes place in front of the armenian genocide monument; other events may also take place, such as blood donations. as the second country in the world to recognize the armenian genocide, cyprus has built two genocide memorials in respect to the victims. one of the memorials is located in nicosia, and the other one is located in larnaca cyprus minister of foreign affairs erato kozakou-marcoullis's statement said "we deeply regret and deplore this presidential pardon and the damage inflicted by the actions that followed the release, aimed at glorifying this hideous crime, to the reconciliation efforts with azerbaijan and we are also very concerned of its effects on regional stability." following the release of ramil safarov immediate protests broke out in all cities of cyprus with the biggest being in nicosia taking place outside the hungarian embassy. cypriot press expressed negatively on the role of the hungarian government for the release of ramil safarov. there are armenian elementary schools in cyprus in the cities of larnaca, limassol and nicosia and a gymnasium in nicosia. the melkonian educational institute was the most renowned co-educational institution of armenian-cypriots. founded in 1926, the melkonian institute was open to armenian students from all over the world and offered a comprehensive secondary school curriculum. all subjects, except for the armenian language, were taught in english and foreign languages offered included greek, french, arabic, persian, russian and bulgarian. a daily hourly radio programme by the cyprus broadcasting corporation in armenian includes extensive interviews, news coverage, cultural reports and music. two armenian monthly newspapers have been founded on the island, artsankank (1995) and azad tsayn (founded 2003), which provide national and international news, primarily in armenian and with certain columns printed in greek and in english. every year, cyprus-armenian business forums are held either in nicosia or in yerevan, with an aim to further boost trade and investment between the two countries. armenian companies will be able to expand more effectively into the european union and middle east markets in co-operation with cypriot companies. this co-operation can and should be reciprocal, with armenia serving as an access route to the caucasian countries for the business world of cyprus. the armenian community of cyprus receives a generous funding from the cypriot government, which enables the organisation of concerts, dance performances, art and photographic exhibitions, as well as literary events. the armenian prelature of cyprus has allocated space within its premises (utidjian hall) to encourage cultural events, such as the annual autumn book exhibition. the middle/near east armenian research centre (established in 1996 by vartan malian) houses a reference library and archival material in its nicosia premises. following the december 1988 earthquake in armenia, the republic of cyprus was one of the first countries to send relief in the form of medicine, doctors and financial aid. cyprus is openly advocating the accession of armenia in the european union in the shortest period of time. referring to the eu armenia relations, president demetris christofias pledged that nicosia will continue supporting actively the further enhancement of this relationship, indicating a full membership candidate status for armenia in the nearest future. cyprus, he said, is the firmest supporter and friend of armenia in the eu. hain mill, also known as wernersville mill, is a historic

two-seater. the primary fuselage structure is formed from steel tubes, with wood stringers to shape the fabric covering. the nose-cone is shaped from glass reinforced plastic. the fin and tailplane, the latter mounted on top of the fuselage, are wooden framed with plywood skins but the control surfaces are fabric covered; the rudder extends down to the keel. all the tail surfaces are straight tapered; there is a trim tab on the starboard elevator. the tn-1 lands on a fixed, unsprung but braked monowheel undercarriage, assisted by a tailskid. some fifteen months after its first flight, the

in april 1944. she was a member of five wolfpacks. she damaged one ship and one warship. german type viic submarines were preceded by the shorter type viib submarines. "u-360" had a displacement of when at the surface and while submerged. she had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , a beam of , a height of , and a draught of . the submarine was powered by two germaniawerft f46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of for use while surfaced, two aeg gu 460/8–27 double-acting electric motors producing a total of for use while submerged. she had two shafts and two propellers. the boat was capable of operating at depths of up to . the submarine had a maximum surface speed of and a maximum submerged speed of . when submerged, the boat could operate for at ; when surfaced, she could travel at . "u-360" was fitted with five torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one sk c/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and two twin c/30 anti-aircraft guns. the boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty. the submarine was laid down on 9 august 1941 at the "flensburger schiffsbau" yard at flensburg as yard number 479, launched on 28 july 1942 and commissioned on 12 november under the command of "oberleutnant zur see" hans-jügen bühring. she served with the 5th u-boat flotilla from 12 november 1942 and the 13th flotilla from 1 july 1943. the boat's first patrol was preceded by trips from kiel in germany to bergen and then narvik in norway, from where she departed on 16 august 1943. she sailed southwest of svalbard and west of bear island. she docked in hammerfest on 24 september. her second foray was a repeat of her first - finishing in narvik on 19 november 1943. the submarine's third patrol took her around bear island. sortie number four saw the boat damaging southeast of bear island on 25 january 1944. she also damaged the "fort bellingham" the next day. this ship was subsequently sunk by . having moved from hammerfest to trondheim, "u-360" started her fifth patrol on 29 march 1944. on 2 april, she was sunk southwest of bear island by depth charges from the british destroyer . 51 men died in the u-boat; there were no survivors. "u-360" took part in five wolfpacks, namely. iolaus hemicyanus is a butterfly in the family lycaenidae. it is found in cameroon, equatorial guinea (bioko), the republic of the congo, the democratic

was an estonian graphic artist, considered by some to have been one of the most important artists of the 1960s to 1980s in estonia. vint was born in tallinn. his exhibition in the city's art museum, kumu, continued to september 9, 2012. alongside it, kumu published a book, "tõnis vint and his aesthetic universe". vint was influenced by the art of china and japan, by psychoanalysis, and by comparative analysis of ornaments from different cultures. scott moorhouse (born 24 may 1989) is a paralympian track and field athlete from england competing mainly in category f42 javelin throw. he represented great britain at the 2012 paralympic games in london. moorhouse was born, scott paul william durst, in ipswich in 1989. at the age of six weeks a severe burn resulted in the amputation of his left leg through the knee. in 2008, while working in telecommunications, moorhouse's manager heard a radio promotion from paralympic gb who were running a talent day in london. he gave moorhouse the day off to attend, and moorhouse showed promise in several different disciplines at the meet. he decided to follow athletics and began training in 2009 with windsor, hounslow and eton athletics club, showing promise in both the sprint and throwing events. in june 2010 he threw 41.25 to come fourth in a senior meet in cardiff, and followed this with a second place in the world junior championship in the czech republic. in 2011 he was part of the great britain squad that travelled to christchurch in new zealand to take part in the ipc athletic championships, he finished 4th in the f42 javelin, throwing 38.31. in april he attended his second junior world championship, this time finishing third. despite having to miss training to concentrate on his academic studies beforehand, his results in an iwas series meet in stadskanaal in the netherlands saw moorhouse beat his personal best with three of his throws. his best of the three, 45.75m, was enough to give him first place. then, two weeks later in cardiff, he threw a 47.33 which pushed him up the global rankings. in 2012, and now running with a cheeteh flex-foot, moorhouse was selected as part of the great britain team to compete in the 2012 summer paralympics in the f42 javelin. he made the final, but despite a season's best of 45.30m he finished seventh. in computer science, the longest common prefix array (lcp array) is an auxiliary data structure to the suffix array. it stores the lengths of the longest common prefixes (lcps) between all pairs of consecutive suffixes in a sorted suffix array. for example, if "a" := [aab, ab, abaab, b, baab] is a suffix array, the longest common prefix between "a"[1] = aab and "a"[2] = ab is a which has length 1, so "h"[2] = 1 in the lcp array "h". likewise, the lcp of "a"[2] = ab and "a"[3] = abaab is ab, so "h"[3] = 2. augmenting the suffix array with the lcp array allows one to efficiently simulate top-down and bottom-up traversals of the suffix tree, speeds up pattern matching on the suffix array and is a prerequisite for compressed suffix trees. the lcp array was introduced in 1993, by udi manber and gene myers alongside the suffix array in order to improve the running time of their string search algorithm. gene myers later became the vice president of informatics research at celera genomics, and udi manber the vice president of engineering at google. let formula_1 be the suffix array of the string formula_2 and let formula_3 denote the length of the longest common prefix between two strings formula_4 and formula_5. let further denote formula_6 the substring of formula_7 ranging from formula_8 to formula_9. then the lcp array formula_10 is an integer array of size formula_11 such that formula_12 is undefined and formula_13 for every formula_14 stores the length of longest common prefix of the lexicographically formula_8'th smallest suffix and its predecessor in the suffix array. consider the string formula_16: and its corresponding sorted suffix array formula_1 : complete suffix array with sorted suffixes itself: then the lcp array formula_18 is constructed by comparing lexicographically consecutive suffixes to determine their longest common prefix: so, for example, formula_19 is the length of the longest common prefix formula_20 shared by the suffixes formula_21 and formula_22. note that formula_23, since there is no lexicographically smaller suffix. suffix array: represents the lexicographic rank of each suffix of an array. lcp array: contains the maximum length prefix match between two consecutive suffixes, after they are sorted lexicographically. in order to find the number of occurrences of a given string p (length m) in a text t (length n), the issue with using standard binary search (without the lcp information) is that in each of the o(log n) comparisons needed to be made, we compare p to the current entry of the suffix array, which means a full string comparison of up to m characters. so the complexity is o(m*log n). the lcp-lr array helps improve this to o(m+log n), in the following way: at any point during the binary search algorithm, we consider, as usual, a range (l...,r) of the suffix array and its central point m, and decide whether we continue our search in the left sub-range (l...,m) or in the right sub-range (m...,r). in order to make the decision, we compare p to the string at m. if p is identical to m, search is complete. but if not, we have already compared the first k characters of p and then decided whether p is lexicographically smaller or larger than m. let's assume the outcome is that p is larger than m. so, in the next step, we consider (m...,r) and a new central point m' in the middle: the trick now is that lcp-lr is precomputed such that an o(1)-lookup tells us the longest common prefix of m and m', lcp(m,m'). we already know (from the previous step) that m itself has a prefix of k characters in common with p: lcp(p,m)=k. now there are three possibilities: the overall effect is that no character of p is compared to any character of the text more than once. the total number of character comparisons is bounded by m, so the total complexity is indeed o(m+log n). we still need to precompute lcp-lr so it is able to tell us in o(1) time the lcp between any two entries of the suffix array. we know the standard lcp array gives us the lcp of consecutive entries only, i.e. lcp(i-1,i) for any i. however, m and m' in the description above are not necessarily consecutive entries. the key to this is to realize that only certain ranges (l...,r) will ever occur during the binary search: it always starts with (0...,n) and divides that at the center, and then continues either left or right and divide that half again and so forth. another way of looking at it is : every entry of the suffix array occurs as central point of exactly one possible range during binary search. so there are exactly n distinct ranges (l...m...r) that can possibly play a role during binary search, and it suffices to precompute lcp(l,m) and lcp(m,r) for those n possible ranges. so that is 2*n distinct precomputed values, hence lcp-lr is o(n) in size. moreover, there is a straightforward recursive algorithm to compute the 2*n values of lcp-lr in o(n) time from the standard lcp array. to sum up: lcp array construction algorithms can be divided into two different categories: algorithms that compute the lcp array as a byproduct to the suffix array and algorithms that use an already constructed suffix array in order to compute the lcp values. assuming that each text symbol takes one byte and each entry of the suffix or lcp array takes 4 bytes, the major drawback of their algorithm is a large space occupancy of formula_27 bytes, while the original output (text, suffix array, lcp array) only occupies formula_28 bytes. therefore, created a refined version of the algorithm of (lcp9) and reduced the space occupancy to formula_28 bytes. provide another refinement of kasai's algorithm (formula_30-algorithm) that improves the running time. rather than the actual lcp array, this algorithm builds the "permuted" lcp (plcp) array, in which the values appear in text order rather than lexicographical order. , the currently fastest linear-time lcp array construction algorithm is due to , which in turn is based on one of the fastest suffix array construction algorithms by . as noted by several string processing problems can be solved by the following kinds of tree traversals: deciding if a pattern formula_32 of length formula_33 is a substring of a string formula_7 of length formula_11 takes formula_36 time if only the suffix array is used. by additionally using the lcp information, this bound can be improved to formula_37 time. show how to improve this running time even further to achieve optimal formula_38 time. thus, using suffix array and lcp array information, the decision query can be answered as fast as using the suffix tree. the lcp array is also an essential part of compressed suffix trees which provide full suffix tree functionality like suffix links and lowest common ancestor queries. furthermore, it can be used together with the suffix array to compute the lempel-ziv lz77 factorization in formula_25 time. the longest repeated substring problem for a string formula_7 of length formula_11 can be solved in formula_42 time using both the suffix array formula_1 and the lcp array. it is sufficient to perform a linear scan through the lcp array in order to find its maximum value formula_44 and the corresponding index formula_8 where formula_44 is stored. the longest substring that occurs at least twice is then given by formula_47. the remainder of this section explains two applications of the lcp array in more detail: how the suffix array and the lcp array of a string can be used to construct the corresponding suffix tree and how it is possible to answer lcp queries for arbitrary suffixes using range minimum queries on the lcp array. given the suffix array formula_1 and the lcp array formula_18 of a string formula_2 of length formula_51, its suffix tree formula_52 can be constructed in formula_25 time based on the following idea: start with the partial suffix tree for the lexicographically smallest suffix and repeatedly insert the other suffixes in the order given by the suffix array. let formula_54 be the partial suffix tree for formula_55. further let formula_56 be the length of the concatenation of all path labels from the root of formula_57 to node formula_4. start with formula_59, the tree consisting only of the root. to insert formula_60 into formula_57, walk up the "rightmost" path beginning at the recently inserted leaf formula_62 to the root, until the deepest node formula_4 with formula_64 is reached. we need to distinguish two cases: a simple amortization argument shows that the running time of this algorithm is bounded by formula_25: the nodes that are traversed in step formula_8 by walking up the "rightmost" path of formula_57 (apart from the last node formula_4) are removed from the "rightmost" path, when formula_60 is added to the tree as a new leaf. these nodes will never be traversed again for all subsequent steps formula_113. therefore, at most formula_114 nodes will be traversed in total. the lcp array formula_18 only contains the length of the longest common prefix of every pair of consecutive suffixes in the suffix array formula_1. however, with the help of the inverse suffix array formula_117 (formula_118, i.e. the suffix formula_119 that starts at position formula_9 in formula_7 is stored in position formula_122 in formula_1) and constant-time range minimum queries on formula_18, it is possible to determine the length of the longest common prefix of arbitrary suffixes in formula_125 time. because of the lexicographic order of the suffix array, every common prefix of the suffixes formula_126 and formula_119 has to be a common prefix of all suffixes between formula_8's position in the suffix array formula_129 and formula_9's position in the suffix array formula_131. therefore, the length of the longest prefix that is shared by "all" of these suffixes is the minimum value in the interval formula_132. this value can be found in constant time if formula_18 is preprocessed for range minimum queries. thus given a string formula_7 of length formula_11 and two arbitrary positions formula_136 in the string formula_7 with formula_138, the length of the longest common prefix of the suffixes formula_126 and formula_119 can be computed as follows: formula_141. the ven. john william wingfield was an anglican priest: the archdeacon of bodmin from 1979 to 1981. born on 19 december 1915, he was educated at the sheffield pupil teacher centre; and served in the royal army service corps during world war ii. when peace returned he studied at st aidan’s theological college and was ordained in 1947. after a curacy at madron with morvah he held incumbencies at perranuthnoe, budock, st michael caerhays, redruth and st clement before his archdeacon’s appointment. he died on 23 december 1983. elections for the uttarakhand legislative assembly in uttarakhand state, india are conducted in accordance with the constitution of india. the assembly of uttarakhand creates laws regarding the conduct of local body elections unilaterally while any changes by the state legislature to the conduct of state level elections need to be approved by the parliament of india. in addition, the state legislature may be dismissed by the parliament according to article 356 of the indian constitution and president's rule may be imposed. the bharatiya janata party and indian national congress have been the most popular parties in the state since its inception. other influential parties include samajwadi party, bahujan samaj party and uttarakhand kranti dal. it is worth noting that till the year 2000, uttarakhand was a part of undivided uttar pradesh state. 2002 uttarakhand legislative assembly elections were the first vidhan sabha (legislative assembly) elections held in the state. the indian national congress emerged as the largest party with 36 seats in the 70-seat legislature whereas the bharatiya janata party secured the second place with 19 seats. veteran congress leader n. d. tiwari was chosen as the new chief minister. 2007 uttarakhand state assembly elections were the second vidhan sabha (legislative assembly) elections held in the state. the bharatiya janata party emerged as the single largest party with 34 seats in the 70-seat legislature. one seat short of forming a majority, the bjp had to rely on the support of the uttarakhand kranti dal and three independents to form the government. former union minister b. c. khanduri became the new chief minister. the indian national congress was the official opposition, holding 21 seats. 2012 uttarakhand state assembly elections were the third vidhan sabha (legislative assembly) elections held in the state. uttarakhand had turned out incumbent governments in the first two elections held in the state since its formation. the ruling bharatiya janata party fought the election under the leadership of its chief minister b. c. khanduri. the main opposition indian national congress was led in the assembly by harak singh rawat, but no chief ministerial candidate was named before the elections. the interim tenure of former chief minister ramesh pokhriyal, which was marked by large-scale corruption accusations, was likely to be the main election issue. the elections took place on 30 january, with the results being announced on 6 march. in a closely contested election, the indian national congress emerged as the single largest party with 32 seats followed by the bharatiya janata party with 31 seats. notably the incumbent chief minister b. c. khanduri lost from his seat. vijay bahuguna was appointed as chief minister despite him not being a member of the legislative assembly. he later on won the byelections held to the seats of sitarganj. the detailed result is given below: 2017 uttarakhand state assembly elections were the fourth vidhan sabha (legislative assembly) elections held in the state. the bharatiya janata party riding on the popularity of prime minister narendra modi, secured a landslide victory, winning 57 of the total 70 seats. the ruling indian national congress was reduced to a low of 11 seats, with the incumbent chief minister harish rawat himself losing from both the seats that he had contested from. although the bjp had not projected anyone as its chief ministerial candidate, trivendra singh rawat was chosen as the new chief minister after the elections. this is a list of international organizations based in istanbul, turkey. abdulaziz bin mohieddin khoja (born 1940) is the former saudi ambassador and he served as the minister of

debut in may 1976, and reached the top division in march 1985. his highest rank was "komusubi". he retired in july 1989. he was persuaded by his father, a rice farmer, to be a sumo wrestler, although he really wanted to play baseball. he joined the original hanakago stable in may 1976, and for five years he was a "tsukebito" or personal attendant to "yokozuna" wajima hiroshi, until the latter′s retirement in 1981. the two spent much of their spare time tinkering with wajima′s luxury american automobile, a lincoln continental. sawaishi began competing under his own surname, although he went through a number of different "shikona", including otowadake, sawakaze and onoumi, before finally settling on hananoumi, meaning ′lake or sea of flowers.′ in july 1983 he took the "makushita" division championship with a perfect 7–0 record and was promoted to the "juryo" division, becoming a fully fledged "sekitori" for the first time. he reached the top "makuuchi" division in march 1985 and just one tournament later won his first "sansho" or special prize, for technique. in november 1985 he had his first victory over a "yokozuna", earning a "kinboshi" for defeating tournament winner chiyonofuji. in march 1987 he beat chiyonofuji again, scored ten wins at "maegashira" 1 and won his second technique award, and with it promotion to what was to be his highest rank of "komusubi". in september 1987 he achieved the feat of winning a majority of wins against losses ("kachi-koshi") despite missing four days and having to return for the last seven – the first time this had been done in the top division for 22 years. on the seventh day of the may 1988 tournament he was defeated by chiyonofuji, the first bout in chiyonofuji's post-war record winning streak of 53 consecutive matches. in march 1989 hananoumi returned to the "komusubi" rank but had a disastrous tournament, losing his first nine bouts before withdrawing injured on day 10. in may he defaulted on day 5 after losing his first four matches due to a herniated disk and was never to appear on the "dohyo" again, retiring after missing the july 1989 tournament altogether. he remained in sumo for a short time as an elder under the name hanakago oyakata (formerly used by his old boss wajima), but left the sumo association in june 1990. he ran a chanko restaurant in akita and after it closed ran a hotel in nanporo, hokkaido. hananoumi had an unusual fighting style, preferring to come in low at the "tachi-ai" and push up against the opponent′s armpits, known as "hazu–oshi". he also liked the throat thrust, or "nodowa". when fighting on the "mawashi" he used a double inside grip, or "morozashi". his two most common winning "kimarite" were "yorikiri" (force out) and "oshidashi" (push out). daniel von der bracke (born 28 january 1992) is a german footballer who plays for tus koblenz. von der bracke began his career with bayer leverkusen, and made a couple of appearances for the reserve team in

day after project was a cooperative movement by members of the syrian opposition to outline a plan to rebuild the country and end the syrian civil war once bashar al-assad is ousted from power. the 45 members of the group held covert meetings in berlin to determine the set of principles that should be used to construct a democracy in syria. members came from both official bodies such as the syrian national council and the local coordination committees in syria, as well as members who belonged to neither of these groups. on august 28, 2012, the group published its plan in a paper titled "the day after project: supporting a democratic transition in syria. the day after association is an independent, syrian-led civil society organization working to support a democratic transition in syria. in august 2012, tda completed work on a comprehensive approach to managing the challenges of a post-assad transition in syria. the day after project brought together a group of syrians representing a large spectrum of the syrian opposition—including senior representatives of the syrian national council (snc), members of the local coordination committees in syria (lcc), and unaffiliated opposition figures from inside syria and the diaspora representing all major political trends and components of syrian society—to participate in an independent transition planning process. the tda report, "the day after: supporting a democratic transition in syria", provides a detailed framework of principles, goals and recommendations from within the syrian opposition for addressing challenges in six key fields: rule of law; transitional justice; security sector reform; constitutional design; electoral system design; and post-conflict social and economic reconstruction. tda has since shifted its focus from transition planning efforts to implementation of recommendations presented in the tda report, opening its office in istanbul to support this mission.". between january and june 2012, members of the day after project worked on a report that would attempt to address the major aspects of the future transition. they were aided by experts in international planning and diplomacy. the purpose of the report was not to be a rigid directive for restructuring the syrian government but rather to spark further conversation about the transition. six working groups each focused on an individual aspect of the new government that is to be set up, from restructuring the legal and justice system, to reforming the syrian military, to writing a new constitution and setting up the system for electing a new syrian legislature. the project was jointly overseen and supported by the united states institute for peace and the german institute for international and security affairs in berlin.

"thoon" means pillar and "andar" refers lord and hence thoon andar means lord of pillars. this name is because of the presence of two pillars in front of this cave temple. two dvarapalas are located on the either side of the entrance of sanctum sanctorum of the shrine. the interesting feature of these dvarapalas is the presence of trisula prongs in them. unlike other temples, here the main deity thun andar is facing the west direction. lord shiva was carved in the temple pillars as natarajar and vrishbhantika. this is the first temple in tamil nadu having the image of lord natarajar. also, the dwarf muyalaka is missing from the natarajar image. this temple was renovated and extended by various kings as it is evident from the presence of various inscriptions in tamil and grantha characters by pallavas, chola and vijayanagara empires. this rock cut jain temple was built by western ganga king rajamalla ii during the end of 9th century. this temple is seen in a hillock named vijayadri (as per inscription of rajamalla ii) located northern side of thun andar shiva temple. inside the rock cut, recently a new mahaveerar statue is kept and worshipped by nearby tamil jains. on the top of the rock facing east, relief sculptures of mahaveerar, parshavanthar and bahubali are seen. on the either side of bahubali, his sisters brahmi and saundari are seen. on the top, left side of bahubali, indra sitting on elephant and right side, two gandharvas are seen. the left hand of the bahubali was damaged. the head of parshavanathar is surrounded by five headed snake. the left and right side of parshavanathar, his attendants padmavathi and daranendran can be seen. both the images of bahubali and parshavanathar were carved in standing posture. the image of mahaveerar, sitting in sukhasana position on a simhasana with his attendants on either side is seen at the extreme southern direction. though many people visit rock cut shiva temple, they are often unaware of this rock cut jain temple. there are two inscriptions found in this hillock. first one is seen near to relif sculptures (right side of mahaveerar) and it was engraved in grantha script and sanskrit language. it is a mixture of prose and poetry. it explains that rajamalla established two temples for "jinaraja" in vidyadri (hillock) in saka 815 (892-93 a.d). it also explains "arunkal-anvaya" (school of jain monks), which was adorned by illustrious pontiffs, who had successfully crossed the vast expanse of the sea of knowledge of all the sciences, belonged to "nandi sanga" of "jinendra sanga". though the inscription mentions two temples, the second one is not yet found. the second inscription which was engraved in tamil (tamil portion, prose) and grantha (sanskrit portion, poetry) characters, located at the foot of the hillock in the northern side of the temple. the sanskrit portion explains the exaltation to the "arunkal-anvaya" belonging to the "nandi sanga" of "dravida sanga". the tamil portion records that vajranandhi-yogindrar, the disciple of gunaviradevar who was the "mandalacharya" of "arunkal-anvaya" caused to be constructed a flight of steps. these steps (see the picture gallery) are still in good condition. rajamalla ii had built another jain rock cut temple in vallimalai in vellore district during the same 9th century c.e. this leads to the conclusion that some parts of northern tamil nadu was under the rule of this western ganga king rajamalla ii. the abs-cbn philharmonic orchestra is a filipino radio orchestra based in manila. it was founded in 2012 with financial support

in 1770, his daughter anna edwyn married andrew burnaby, archdeacon of leicester, and so ownership of the estate passed to the burnaby family. later owners included edwyn burnaby, high sheriff of leicestershire, his son edwyn burnaby, and his grandson algernon edwyn burnaby. baggrave hall was the childhood-home of louisa burnaby, a great-grandmother of elizabeth ii. soon after algernon burnaby's death in 1938, his son and heir hugh edwyn burnaby sold the estate. it became the home of the earle family, which sold it about 1975. the fabric of the building was severely damaged in 1988–90 whilst in the ownership of an overseas company controlled by asil nadir, who had bought the estate for £3 million. stonework was removed, walls undermined, and interior walls, floors and ceilings ruined. the current owner has undertaken to rectify the damage as far as possible. the exterior of the house can be viewed close at hand from a public footpath that runs between south croxton and lowesby. according to legend, the hall was named after an incident involving a maidservant. she is said to have let a beggar woman take refuge at the hall, but later noticed by the boots that this was a man in disguise. fearing he was a robber, she murdered him and wrapped his body in a potato bag, in which he was buried. the john p. mcgovern museum of health and medical science, or the health museum in short, is a museum in the museum district of houston, texas. the museum is a member institution of the texas medical center. as of 2012 the museum gets over 180,000 annual visitors, including 22,000 schoolchildren who visit the facility during organized field trips. the museum of medical science opened in the houston museum of natural science opened on november 16, 1969, and it remained there for 21 years. the current museum facility opened on march 16, 1996 as the museum of health & medical science. the building housing the museum, the john p. mcgovern building, was funded with a $9.5 million capital campaign. since the opening, the museum has processed over two million visitors. in late 2001 the museum's board of trustees unanimously voted to rename the museum after john p. mcgovern. the museum revamped its brand in 2006, as part of the 10th anniversary in the standalone facility. the new branding included a shortened name ("the health museum") and a new logo. as of 2006 the museum received 175,000 annual visitors. a 2011 renovation included the addition of 3,300 sf of exhibition space to the southwest side of the museum with a metal-panel facade and 1,500 sf of additional interior renovations. permanent exhibit space for the debakey cell lab opened in 2015. the debakey cell lab is a unique science-focused experience and the only bilingual science lab museum exhibit in the country. honorably named after the respected and accomplished medical pioneer, michael e. debakey, m.d., this 2,000 sq. ft. exhibit features seven authentic biology-based science experiments developed for visitors ages 7 to adult. roslyn oxley is an australian gallerist and art dealer. with her husband tony oxley, she owns and operates roslyn oxley9 gallery, which opened in

kalosje- og gummivarefabrik, and changed its name to viking mjøndalen when acquired by askim-based company viking gummivarefabrikk. the person behind this 1932 acquisition was viking founder p. m. røwde, who also brought vestlandske gummivarefabrik into the corporation in 1938. viking mjøndalen was later acquired by the trelleborg group, changing its name to viking trelleborg. a referendum on the islands' status was held in the northern mariana islands on 9 november 1969. for the fourth time since 1958 a majority of voters supported integration with guam. however, a referendum held in guam on 4 november on integration with the northern mariana islands had been rejected by 58% of guamanian voters. previous referendums on either integration with guam or the islands' status had been held in 1958, 1961 and 1963. on each occasion a majority had been in favor of integration. however, the proposal remained unfulfilled. the 1969 referendum was organized by the local parliament, and was held prior to a visit by a united nations commission in early 1970. keith zotti is a paralympic lawn bowler from australia. he competed at the 1984 new york/stoke mandeville paralympics winning a bronze medal in the men's pairs a2/4 event. the daensen folding chair consists of the metallic remains of a folding chair which were discovered in 1899 in sand from a bronze age tumulus near daensen, a part of buxtehude, lower saxony, germany. the chair is the southernmost and most richly decorated example of the eighteen known folding chairs of the nordic bronze age in northern europe. the fittings, along with a reconstruction, are in the permanent exhibition of the archaeological museum hamburg in harburg, hamburg. the tumulus is located in a prominent location about 300 meters northwest of the village daensen, at in open countryside owned by former farmer and municipal mayor eickhoff. the bronze age tumulus is known as or and according to local legend, contains the remains of a chauci prince called baak. or back before 1897, half of the northern mound was removed for sand extraction. in the centre of the mound eickhoff's workers discovered a rectangular stone packing of boulders. inside they found bones and a complete human skull. the workers gave the bones to a dog. their work was witnessed by the moisburg pastor wittkopf who noted his observations in his parishs book of accounts: in 1899 sand was again removed from the mound again, and this time the workers discovered a second stone circle. in its interior they found several bronze fitting and partially gold decorated fittings, including two long stripes with gold inlays, which they broke into several pieces. in november 1899 eickhoff forwarded a part of the fitting along with a ribbed armring of bronze to the museum. in 1934 the museum's director willi wegewitz acquired the remaining fittings from eickhoff's sons, for the museum. the remains of the folding chair consist of four bronze knobs with diameters of with long spouts and a total length of . the end caps are ribbed and their faces decorated with a pattern of four concentric circles. a cast loop with a diameter of supports a ring of diameter with four rattle long plates. these components were attached to the frame of the seat. two small knobs with diameters and lengths of were found among the baseboards of the stool. most likely the stool had originally four of these knobs, the other two being presumed lost. there were also four bronze studs with gold plated heads. the nail heads are in diameter and have a pin length of . three figure-eight shaped bronze fittings of length, width and thicknesses of with line ornaments wearing a gold metal insert at the waist. the gold plate was fixed by two fine incisions in the bronze fitting and then folded on the reverse. two rectangular bronze plates of in length, in width and about thickness are entirely covered with gold foil and bent around the edges for fixation. furthermore, there are five rectangular fitting plates whose broken edges were put together. it is most likely that some of their fragments are still missing. only a few organic components were preserved, one is a piece of leather, and there were seven or eight pieces of wood, one of ash, the other of maple. among the pieces of wood, there is a corner piece and one with the mounting of the seat's leather. the remains of the chair have been typologically dated to 1400 bc. compared to earlier previous finds from grave mounds and tree coffin burials in denmark, sweden, schleswig-holstein and mecklenburg the present metal objects were identified as fitting parts of a folding chair typically for the nordic bronze age. these numerous comparative findings in connection with the survived wooden structures of the vamdrup folding chair found at guldhøj in the danish municipality of ribe in 1891 allowed a precise reconstruction of the daensen folding chair. due to the improper excavation and documentation of the find, precise statements about the archaeological context are not possible. the chair is the most magnificent decorated folding chair of the nordic bronze age. this type of chair, or their fittings is present in 17 comparable finds. the remains of two folding chair fittings originate from hoards, all the rest were grave goods from tree coffin or grave mound burials. given the role of the stool in placing the sitter above others who are seated on the floor, it is possible that the individual buried in daensen was a high-ranking person, a chieftain or religious official. the absence of further grave goods may indicate that the grave had been raided by antique grave robbers. comparably equipped graves with folding chairs typically included additional offerings such as weapons, jewellery, and household items, which are absent in daensen. the ribbed bronze arm bracelet provided by farmer eickhoff to the museum must come from a female burial, supporting the interpretation of the burial of a religious leader. similar folding chairs originate from ancient egypt, whose most famous specimen comes from tutankhamun's tomb of 1330 bc, demonstrating the extensive international connections of the later bronze age. dicke tannen is a protected landscape, around in area, near the harz village of hohegeiß, which lies in the borough of braunlage. it is the site of the mightiest spruce trees in north germany; the individual trees reaching heights of 50 metres and trunk diameters of 100 to 180 centimetres. the landscape has been specially protected since 1989 as a natural monument. the trees, which are up to 350 years old and known colloquially as "rottannen" ("red firs") were first mentioned in the 18th century in forestry documents. they owe their survival, firstly, to their location on the steep, wind-sheltered slopes of the narrow wolfsbach valley; secondly, the fact that they were almost too difficult to fell with the axes and saws of the time on account of their huge size and the transportation of their timber would have proven almost impossible. as a result the area has not been used for forestry for over 200 years and thus gives the impression of almost being a virgin forest. whilst around 1900, just under 120 trees were counted; around 1960 there were 85, in 1980, just 58, and currently there are only 23 healthy and 2 dead trees left. apart from those reaching their natural age limit, changing environmental conditions may also have affected them. dicke tannen is no. 45 in the system of checkpoints forming the harzer wandernadel hiking network. a referendum on becoming a us commonwealth was held in the northern mariana islands on 17 june 1975. the proposal was approved by 79% of voters. as a result, the united states congress approved the change of status on 24 march 1976. four previous referendums on either integration with guam or the islands' status had been held in 1958, 1961, 1963 and 1969. on each occasion a majority had been in favor of integration with guam. however, the proposal remained unfulfilled, as guam had rejected integration in a 1969 referendum. on 20 february 1975 the northern marianas' district legislature put forward proposals to become a us commonwealth. a threshold of 55% in favor was set in order for the referendum to pass. the romantics, in seeking to understand nature in her living essence, studied the 'father of science', sir francis bacon. the view of bacon and the 'inductive method' that emerges is quite a different one from that that tended to prevail both before and then after, here mainly due to john stuart mill's interpretation later in the 1800s. for the romantics, induction as generally interpreted 'was not enough to produce correct understanding in bacon's terms.' they saw another side of bacon, generally not developed, one in which nature was a labyrinth not open to "excellence of wit" nor "chance experiments": "our steps must be guided by a clue, and see what way from the first perception of the sense must be laid out upon a sure plan." the chief spokesman for romantic philosophy and the 'science of science' or epistemology, was samuel taylor coleridge. an anonymous article (written by john stuart mill) published in the westminster review of 1840 noted that "the romantic philosophy of coleridge pervaded the minds and hearts of a significant portion of british intellectuals." coleridge held that bacon's view was that the secrets of nature, the inner essence that bacon termed "natura naturans", required a different "mode of knowing" from the intellect, but required a knowing that was "participative in its essence" and "above the ordinary human consciousness, a super-conscious mind." here coleridge refers to bacon's idea of the 'lumen siccum' - dry light or platonic idea that exists before and above any observation of nature, indeed directs and influences it - an organizing idea. a good example of what coleridge is talking about would be the shift from the ptolemaic, earth-centred universe, which accords with man's immediate experience, to the copernican, helio-centric one, which accords with reason. without the benefit of the organizing idea involving a higher cognitive faculty, science will tend to deal with secondary aspects of nature instead of the primary, essential properties. as richard saumarez, a contemporary of coleridge, and the creator of a dynamic understanding of physiology, wrote: an example of this is the difference between newton's approach to understanding color as seen via light bent through a prism (secondary event) and goethe's approach which involved the direct observation (in the original sense of participation using that faculty of mind coleridge called for) as set out in his chromatology ("farbenlehre"). for coleridge, bacon's emphasis on clearing the "idols' that refract and distort the intellect, and developing a higher cognitive capacity is an integral part of bacon's method for science. for coleridge, bacon is rightly seen as the 'father of science', but not for the right reasons. coleridge set out to correct what he saw as a misunderstanding of bacon's scientific method. first he deals with the “original science of natura naturata methodology of francis bacon.” he notes with saumarez that bacon also calls for an 'organizing idea' in science which both frames and helps to realize the experiment. while it is true that bacon praises the experiment over sense perception, this is in the context of there being a valid organizing idea to begin with. without it, sense perception will amount to pure empiricism, which may lead to a compass (technology), but no advance in science (idea and law), but also without it, experiment becomes arid and without foundation in reality. while experiment is important to avoid subjective sense-impressions, as bacon rightly says, what he says for coleridge is that " our perception can apprehend through the organs of sense only the phenomena evoked by the experiment, but that same power of mind which out of its own laws has proposed the experiment, can judge whether in nature there is a law correspondent to the same." the organizing idea for bacon is something different from sense-experience. so in summary, for coleridge, bacon's system is properly one that derives from and depends on the supersensible realm. thus, method involves the ordering of sense-data according to an idea which is not derived from the senses, but informs the data, such that their meaning is revealed when properly ordered - this order is not a matter of chance or random happenings out of the sense-data, but directed by the very nature of the idea being used, consciously or sub-consciously (as is most often the case in scientific genius). from our innate experience of a connection with that which we experience as also separate, arises the necessary corollary that there is a dynamic relationship (because polar) between ourselves and nature. thus, the method of inquiry that coleridge develops 'is a holistic, relational metaphysic that is perpetually self-correcting' and this ongoing metaphysical/scientific inquiry has two defining features: a leading thought and a progression or advancement, that it 'cannot...otherwise than by abuse, be applied to a mere dead arrangement, containing in itself a distinct science, the immediate offspring of philosophy, and the link or mordant by which philosophy becomes scientific and the sciences philosophical'. whewell's inductivism shares "numerous features with bacon's method of interpreting nature" such as that induction must go beyond merely simple collation of instances and that inductive science can reach unobservables - "for bacon, the “forms,” for whewell, unobservable entities such as light waves or properties such as elliptical orbits or gravitational forces." for whewell as for bacon the mind had to be engaged actively in what was selected for observation and then when it was observed, otherwise "the resulting theory is not an “induction,” but rather a “hasty and imperfect hypothesis.” whewell's is an inductive method "yet it clearly differs from the more narrow inductivism of mill." charles sanders peirce pointed out why bacon's approach, which involves what he calls abduction as well as induction, tended to become reduced to induction, and then collapsed by popper into the hypothetico-deductive model, where the hypothesis, which contains both the abductive inference and the inductive reasoning, becomes just a guess rather than being seen as a result of careful thought - bacon's 'lumens siccum'. maenoshin yasuo (born 17 april 1961 as yasuo sawabe) is a former sumo wrestler from chikuho, fukuoka, japan. he made his professional debut in march 1977, and reached the top division in november 1985. his highest rank was "komusubi". he retired in march 1990. he became an elder of the sumo association under the name yamahibiki, but was forced to leave his position for disciplinary reasons in january 1997. raymond barrett (1952 – august 2000) was an indigenous australian paralympic athlete left a paraplegic following a car accident. prior to this he was a champion juvenile athlete in able bodied sports. a bronze medalist at the 1972 summer paralympics heidelberg germany, a high achiever at the stoke mandeville games england, commonwealth paraplegic games, national paraplegic and quadriplegic games, fespic games and state selection trials. a sporting complex in the sutherland shire of sydney is named in his honor. the people of this shire were his 'significant others'. raymond barrett was born in 1952. he attended the woolloomooloo day nursery during his pre-school years. his mother barbara evans, grandfather charles merritt and great grandmother emily wedge were indigenous australians of the wiradjuri people, aboriginal farming families at blakney and pudman creeks, new south wales. in 1965, while riding his bicycle home from heathcote high school in new south wales (nsw), he was accidentally hit by a car and became a paraplegic wheelchair user at 13 years of age. after spending twelve months in hospital he returned home to be cared for by his mother, barbara, and stepfather robert (bob) evans. prior to the accident he was a champion archer, and a member of the sutherland shire athletic club. he broke records that held for nine years in shot put and discus as well as long distance running and sprints. following his discharge from hospital, he joined the paraplegic association of nsw. due to problems with the steps at primary school, barrett completed his high school education at lakemba school for the handicapped in the suburbs of sydney. later he trained to be a printer under a scheme conducted by the new south wales disabled workers' organisation. the new south wales association for training the disabled in office work (nadow), awarded barrett the honour of "trainee of the year". he was one of the first nadow trainees to operate an offset printing press from a wheelchair during his rehabilitation in the spinal unit of royal north shore hospital sydney. barrett, an electrical technician at the poker machine company nut and muddle, darlinghurst a suburb of sydney, worked monday to friday for eight years and in the evenings he concentrated on his athletic training. the sporting complex at port hacking high school, miranda, a suburb of sydney, is named 'the ray barrett field' in recognition of barrett's sportmanship. built on an area of the school campus that was originally a wasteland, 200,000 cubic metres of fill, taken from local excavations, was used to fill the site. plans added in 1974, included a 6-metre running track around the perimeter of the complex. at the tree-planting ceremony in 1977, pupils planted 60 trees around the perimeter of the ray barrett field that was made available for all community sports. barret, along with fellow indigenous australian tracy barrell oam, was honoured in the 100 years centenary celebration book of the sutherland shire 1906-2006 barrett's noted official duties in his sporting career included: an official of the sutherland athletic club and timekeeper for the new south wales athletic association, timekeeper at the 'able bodied' national games melbourne australia, appointed an official for the british commonwealth games selection trials in october 1973. athletes competing at the 1972 summer paralympics heidelberg, germany required financial assistance of $1800 to be eligible to attend the games. barrett contacted the international lions club of engadine, new south wales, australia, who held a fundraising event at the local returned servicemens league (rsl) club and raised $1000 towards the targeted cost. realizing that additional finance was needed, the club appealed to the sutherland shire council and all local organisations and interested people in the sutherland shire, a local government area of sydney, to support the raymond barrett olympic fund. barrett also wrote to fifty companies seeking sponsorship but without success. he contacted jack griffiths, the promotion manager of westfield shopping town, miranda fair, miranda, a suburb of sydney, who held a competition in which the retail industry of the shopping centre provided the prize. barrett sold raffle tickets throughout the competition and presented the prize of a gold seiko watch. the generosity of this community in assisting barrett with funds needed, was recognised at a community event in which the governor general of australia attended. major athletic events of barrett's sporting career: barrett competed in other games while travelling through europe after the stoke mandeville games of 1974, winning a gold medal in disabled sports competition in holland. both he and his friend paralympian hugh patterson, who travelled with him, were invited to coach wheelchair basketball in basle, switzerland. following his return home from europe, both he and hugh patterson were involved in a car accident. barrett was left an incomplete quadriplegic with brain stem damage and after two years in hospital, returned to his home in heathcote, nsw. later he moved to the gold coast, queensland, australia, where he lived in the care of his parents. he died in august 2000, having lived thirty-five years after his first accident. the 1948 salad bowl was a postseason american college football bowl game between the nevada wolf pack and the north texas state eagles at montgomery stadium in phoenix, arizona, on january 1, 1948. the game marked the first bowl game for each school. it was the 1st edition of the annual salad bowl. north texas represented the lone star conference in the contest, while nevada competed as an independent. in a defensive struggle, nevada would earn their first bowl win with a 13–6 victory. the salad bowl began as the idea of herb askins, a prominent businessman in the phoenix area and the president of the phoenix kiwanis club. the game was intended to serve as a community-minded fund raiser with all proceeds going to local charities that helped handicapped children. although the seeds for the salad bowl were planted in askin's mind prior to world war ii, the game would not come to fruition until 1948. the site of the game was montgomery stadium at phoenix union high school. arizona state college's goodwin stadium was entertained as a possible site of the game although it was ultimately rejected as montgomery had a seating capacity of 23,000 as opposed to goodwin's 15,000. the eagles entered its first bowl game with a 10-1 record and the lone star conference championship in hand. the 1947 team was dominant, holding 5 opponents scoreless and 10 to a touchdown or less. the eagles' lone loss was a 12-0 defeat against arkansas in little rock which was followed by a victory in gainesville against florida. the nevada wolfpack also entered its first bowl game with an 8-2 record. the wolfpack was led by all-american and heisman finalist stan heath. nevada originally accepted its invitation to the salad bowl however, weeks prior to the game, the team voted not to participate in the game. nevada ultimately attended after the threat of lawsuit. north texas scored first before nevada added a pair of touchdowns, with the second one coming late in the fourth quarter. a missed extra point kept north texas within a touchdown, but a final drive stalled at the nevada 28 when a likely game-winning score was dropped in the end zone. all players received a wristwatch after the game as a token of appreciation. a constitutional referendum was held in the northern mariana islands on 6 march 1977. the new constitution was approved by 93% of voters and came into force on 9 january 1978. a constitutional assembly had been elected and drafted the

tish-atal (hurrian ) (fl. c. 21st century bc) was endan of urkesh during the third dynasty of ur. he was one of the earliest known hurrian rulers, but the archaeological record is fragmentary for this period, and no precise date can be ascribed to his reign. in older literature the name "tishari" is sometimes used, but it has now been established that the correct rendering is tish-atal. two other rulers with a similar name are known from around the same period, tish-atal of nineveh and dishatal, king of karahar. these are thought to be distinct persons, so the name was probably common in the area where the hurrians lived. a cuneiform inscription about a temple of nergal is the only source for tish-atal. the text is found on two bronze lion statuettes, but there is a better preserved copy on a stone tablet, now in the louvre museum, along with one of the lions. this famous inscription is the earliest known writing in the hurrian language. the following translation is given by mirjo salvini: "tish-atal, endan of urkesh, has built a temple for nergal. may the god lubadag protect it. he who destroys this temple, may lubadag destroy. may the god [...] not hear his prayers. may the lady of nagar, shimaga and the storm god curse ten thousand times he who destroys it." branimir hrgota (; born 12 january 1993) is a swedish footballer who plays as a striker for greuther fürth in the

rugby club. spartakos participated at the first national championship that took place during the 2004-2005 season. spartakos rugby club managed to participate several times in the semi-finals of the

athens or across the border in bulgaria in order to play matches. in the end of the 2007-2008 season, a handful of players from the spartakos rugby club decided to leave the club establish their own.

their first victory. the final score was '20-24'. from the very first year onward, the lions rugby club has entered the national championship where the team qualified for the semi-final play-offs.

participating teams file a claim in court for various irregularities made by the federation and its board of directors. in october 2013, the club decides to leave the national championship in order to join a championship which was not recognized by the national federation, named as: unity cup. it consisted of seven teams: attica springboks, panathinaïkos (ex-athens rfc), spartans, aeolos patras, peristeri and the titans of kavala. on november 2, 2013, the lions play their first unity cup match against the titans kavala. after five seasons, the club leaves the national championship like six other teams of the country. in september 2014 an administrative decision issued by the ministry of sports in greece announced the dissolution of the national federation of rugby for false declarations

organised by kavala titans and ao kavala. when the club was founded in 2008, it was the georgian coach, zaza navrozashvili, who led the team's training. his experience as a former player of the rustavi club in georgia and spartakos thermaikos made him the most experienced, ready to take charge of the team. for eight consecutive seasons he trains the players of thessaloniki lions in order to place the club among the top tier greek clubs. the last seasons, he takes charge of the training and the physical condition of the players during the summer period. he is the head coach of the team and covers most of the training. more specific, his experience as a third-row player, has helped thessaloniki lions forwards and backs improve their skills and tactical game, inspired by defense. this has led the team have a good general technical level by playing an effective game of solid defense. the first signs of this success are characterized by the semi-final match in rhodes in 2010 by defeating them with a score of 57-14 in the championship in october 2009. coach zaza imposes his plan of play offering a solid response to the players of rhodes six months later with another win by:

zaza navrozashvili left thessaloniki and greece for time, after having lived there for more than 18 years. later on, he returned to his team (lions rfc) and starting making new preparations since there were new arrivals who wanted to learn the sport and play for the team. in october 2015 the coach of lions started a serious training with the new teammates and tried to make them play test matches. in 26 of march, 2016 the lions rfc (consisted of both old teammates and new entrants) played against panathinaikos rfc in their own pitch in thessaloniki where the game was very competitive and unfortunately came with a late loss (19-22). the rivalries of the thessaloniki lions are those against other clubs from the city of thessaloniki: iraklis thessaloniki rfc. this is the classic derby of the city since the other club makedones from the city of evosmos no longer exists. the matches took place within the greek rugby championship from the 2008-2009 season until the 2012-2013 season. in the derby with makedones evosmos, the lions record: 2 victories. in the derby with iraklis thessaloniki, the lions record: 1 victory, 1 draw, 3 defeats the training of the team has taken

chopard. louis-ulysse chopard, was the second son of félicien chopard and his wife henriette, who had four children. the father of louis-ulysse chopard, félicien, was an experienced farmer and a man of tradition who encouraged his sons to learn the watchmaking trade. as a young man, louis-ulysse chopard quickly grasped the fact that it was the comptoirs or watch dealerships that earned the greatest profit from the work of the framers. each spring, the agents picked up the movements, fitted the dials and hands, cased up the finished movements and they marketed the finished watches. it was therefore better to work independently and louis-ulysse wanted his own brand. he created his l.u.c manufacturing company in sonvilier, switzerland at the age of 24, in 1860. no watches were mass-produced but his clever blend of artistry and functionality soon won over a large number of customers. having grasped that foreign markets represented the future of his timepieces, he set off to canvass customers in eastern europe, russia and scandinavia. in 1912, he visited poland, hungary and the netherlands with his finest creations. chopard chronometers and watches marked the passing of time at the court of nicholas ii of russia. louis-ulysse chopard had won himself an international clientele. in 1859 and 1870 he had two children, paul-louis and ida hélène. hmcs "fort ramsay" was a royal canadian navy (rcn) base located at sandy beach on the southern shore of gaspé bay, several kilometres west of gaspé, quebec. its construction was commissioned in 1940 and the base was inaugurated by the rcn on may 1, 1942. several shore batteries were linked to this base, such as fort prével, fort haldimand, and fort péninsule. on march 31, 1946, the base was decommissioned, almost a year after the second world war ended. today the base property is operated as the sandy beach terminal of the port of gaspé and is primarily used for industrial and commercial purposes. the gaspé area played a big role during the war. gaspé bay was strategically located near the mouth of the st. lawrence river and was considered a very suitable place for harbouring merchant ships and allied warships, such as the british fleet in case great britain would be invaded. the depth and the shape of the bay allowed for maximum accessibility and defence. this mandate was given by the department of national defence in early 1940 and the rcn's high command worked on top-secret plans for procedures to defend shipping by convoy escorts in the gulf of st. lawrence and st. lawrence river. throughout the year many army, navy and air force bases were constructed along the st. lawrence river between gaspé and montreal. was the first navy vessel to operate from gaspé, starting from october 1940, but returned to sydney, nova scotia () later and was replaced by . together with the armed yachts , and , these vessels formed the extent of the rcn's fleet based at hmcs "fort ramsay". the base also supported other rcn warships operating in the gulf of st. lawrence throughout the war. after the first sightings of german u-boats in the waters near newfoundland and nova scotia in 1941, facilities at hmcs "fort ramsay" were augmented. this included construction of the outlying batteries along the shore around the bay as well as a submarine net. the base's inauguration ceremony was held on may 1, 1942, witnessed by a crew of thirteen officers and nearly sixty men from the 1st battalion of les fusiliers du s-laurent. on december 14, 1942, ottawa appointed the 3rd battalion of les fusiliers du s-laurent to hmcs "fort ramsay", which would grew to 34 officers and 291 men at the end of that year. construction continued until 1943 which saw around 2000 soldiers, airmen and sailors fortifying the bay. one week after the official opening, the first u-boats were observed in the gulf of st. lawrence. this marked the beginning of the battle of the st. lawrence, which was fought intensely until the u-boats generally withdrew in late 1942, though some sinkings occurred in the area through late 1944. by the end of 1944 the situation in europe had evolved to the advantage of the allies and by october 1 of that year the first shore batteries at hmcs "fort ramsay" began to be dismantled. on march 31, 1946, the last remaining regiment, the gaspé-bonaventure regiment (the 3rd battalion of les fusiliers du s-laurent having changed their name in august 1944) was officially disbanded. in total 26 ships were torpedoed by german submarines in the battle of the st. lawrence. fort péninsule was a shore battery affiliated with hmcs "fort ramsay" that was located on the north shore of the bay, near the southern entrance to what is now forillon national park. it was equipped with four searchlights, two 4.7-inch (120 mm) guns and several storage rooms. located along the main road passing nearby "boulevard forillon" (route 132) were 15 buildings to house personnel. the site is now open to the public with no entry fee. two qf 4.7-inch b mark iv* guns are still displayed in their original casemated positions. according to information displayed on site this station was able to sink any ship or submarine in the bay within 15 seconds after it was spotted. fort prével was on the south shore of the bay opposite fort péninsule, on what is now the auberge et golf fort prével. during world war ii it was armed with two ex-us 10-inch (254 mm) guns, one on a disappearing carriage and one on a barbette carriage. one of two qf 4.7-inch b mark iv* guns (120 mm), the same type as at fort péninsule, is displayed. it is mounted upside down on the carriage. the kawasaki heavy industries & crrc qingdao sifang c151b is the fifth generation electric multiple unit rolling stock in

c151a and it is the first train to have a white front with a smaller logo. these trains are the first to be fitted with staris 2.0, which is embedded in the door's overhead panels, as factory stock and also the first amongst the rolling stock used on the north south line and east west line to have electric door actuators rather than the traditional pneumatic door actuators on previous generations of rolling stock, allowing smoother and more reliable door operations, reducing delays. the first c151b train (set 601/602) made its debut on the north south line on 16 april 2017. although there were some c151bs housed in tuas depot since the inception of the tuas west extension, c151bs did not begin revenue service on the full-stretch of the east west line only until on 27 may 2018, when the line switched to the new signalling system. c151bs running on the ewl before that only ran on the tuas west extension, between gul circle and tuas link. only that section had the new signalling system installed. on 27 may 2018, all 45 c151b trains have entered service on the north south line and east west line. in the turnkey contract c151b, 3 tenderers were shortlisted – kawasaki heavy industries ltd/kawasaki heavy industries (singapore) pte ltd consortium, crrc zhuzhou/siemens, and construcciones y auxiliar de ferrocarriles. on 23 august 2012, the land transport authority (lta) awarded the tender to kawasaki heavy industries at a price of s$281,508,884.00. subsequently, the tender results were released to the public on 27 august 2012. kawasaki will be responsible for

to singapore from 2015 onwards. the c151b trains is the fourth commuter type electric multiple unit (emu) made in japan to feature electric systems fully manufactured by fuji electric. propulsion is controlled by vvvf inverter with 2-level igbt semiconductor controller, rated at 415 kva. each inverter unit controls two motors on one bogie (1c2m), and one motor car features two of such units. motors are three-phase ac induction type, model mlr109, with a maximum output of 140 kw. instead of other trains which use the older staris system, the c151b is the first train type equipped with staris 2.0 which consists of 2 lcd screens displaying the travel information, such as the upcoming stations the train will arrive at, door closing warnings and attractions nearby the station. the configuration of a c151b in revenue service is dt-m1-m2-m2-m1-dt the car numbers of the trains range from x601 to x690, where x depends on the carriage type. individual cars are assigned a 4 digit serial number. a complete six-car trainset consists of an identical twin set of one driving trailer(dt) and two motor cars(m1 & m2) permanently coupled together. for example, set 601/602 consists of carriages 3601, 1601, 2601, 2602, 1602 and 3602. currently, it is the second train with smrt's new white pixelated livery with red, yellow and black colour scheme, which is similar to bukit panjang lrt's c801a, as compared to the older smrt trains. the c151b trains are the first trains to have a full white front unlike the older batch of trains with a black front. the first eight trains manufactured from 2015 received the new livery with the older smrt logos, while subsequent trains manufactured from 2016 were painted with new smrt logos. tim miller (born august 23, 1979) is an

painting, sculpture and chinese calligraphy, there are a great range of what may be called decorative or applied arts. chinese fine art is distinguished from chinese folk art, which differs in its style and purpose. this article gives an overview of the many different applied arts of china. the chinese imperial court collected calligraphy pieces from the most skilled calligraphers in the country. the collection contains many masterpieces made by well-known calligraphers throughout chinese art history. furthermore, because of calligraphy's high artistic value, calligraphy collecting was popular among several chinese emperors in multiple dynasties. chinese ceramics, whose history originates back to the pre-dynastic periods, has continuously improved since then, and it is one of the most significant forms of chinese art. after opium was introduced to china, snuff bottles became popular. the chinese royalties were addicted to them, as they used opium as a long-life medicine. the design of the snuff bottles flourished because of the money that the rich poured into the industry. many of these bottles were made by talented artisans using tiny paints brushes; they were painted from inside of the bottle, reaching down from the top of the narrow neck. they are still highly collectible up to this day. it was during the shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 bce) when the sophisticated techniques used in the lacquer process were first developed, and it became a highly artistic craft. various prehistoric lacquerware have been unearthed in china dating back to the neolithic period. the earliest extant lacquer object, a red wooden bowl, was unearthed at a hemudu culture (c. 5000–4500 bce) site. by the han dynasty (206 bce – 220 ce), many centers of lacquer production had become established. the knowledge of the chinese methods focusing on the lacquer process spread from china during the han, tang, and song dynasties. later on, it was eventually introduced to the rest of the world—korea, japan, southeast and south asia. after the invention of photography in 1839 and the arrival of european photographers in macao, photography was soon introduced in several cities in china. at first, some people were reluctant because they thought that having the camera take a picture of them would result in their spirit being taken away. but, by the end of the nineteenth century, all major cities had photographic studios. some affluent chinese people even adopted photography as a hobby. western and chinese photographers documented ordinary street life, major wars, and prominent figures. the empress dowager cixi had her portrait taken repeatedly. in the 18th century, a qing dynasty covered vase depicting a woman holding a lingzhi fungus and a peony branch was created. the woman was also accompanied by a boy, a crane, and a deer as shown below. ivory was not a prestigious material in the rather strict hierarchy of chinese art, where jade had always been far more highly regarded, and rhinoceros horn (which was not ivory) had a special auspicious meaning. but ivory, as well as bone, had been used for various items since early times when china still had its own species of elephant. demand for ivory seems to have played a large part in their extinction, which came before 100 bc. during the ming dynasty, ivory began to be used for small statuettes of gods and others (see gallery). in the qing dynasty, it suited the growing taste for intricate carving and became more prominently used for brush-holders, boxes, handles and similar pieces. later on, canton even developed large models of houses and other large and showy pieces, which remained popular. enormous examples are still seen as decorative centrepieces at government receptions. figures were typically uncoloured, or just with certain features coloured in ink which was often just black, but sometimes a few other colors. seal knob (紐刻) is an art that originated in ancient china and is mainly popular in east asian countries. it focuses or decorates on the head-part or the top-side of a seal. it is a kind of sculpture or mini-sculpture. in china, the utmost important seal of all is the imperial seal carved from the heshibi, a sacred ceremonial jade. it was said that the green jade took the form of a round shape with inscriptions that read "having received the mandate from heaven, may (the emperor) lead a long and prosperous life." (受命於天,既壽永昌) this was said to be written by the primer li si for qin shi huang zhao zheng, the augustus emperor of the chinese empire. ruyi is a scepter that serves primarily as a decoration. its history began in the qing dynasty when ruyi scepters were given to noted visitors of the emperor. now, they're given as birthday presents. ruyi is made of different materials, including porcelain and jade. the term ruyi means "may your wish be granted" or "as you wish". the unusual shape is meant to imitate the shape of a stemmed lotus flower. chinese embroidery is one of the oldest extant needlework. the four major regional styles of chinese embroidery are suzhou (su xiu), hunan (xiang xiu), guangdong (yue xiu) and sichuan (shu xiu). all of them are nominated as chinese intangible

"behindwoods" wrote "on the whole, panithuli is just a less impressive portfolio for ganesh venkatraman, who has tried to show us that he can carry the roles of an action hero, a lover boy and a mentally unstable man." "the hindu" wrote "panithuli is an example of how a simple story can be made complicated. to ensure that his film isn’t labelled run-of-the-mill, director natty kumar has added several episodes to a simple plot. but instead of making the film interesting, they have only turned it into a long and dreary affair." "rediff" wrote "on the face of it, panithuli, has the potential to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller. what it is, however, is a mishmash of terribly stereotyped characters trying in vain to mould themselves to suit a surreal landscape. the result leaves you laughing and yawning by turns". "sify" wrote "the romantic thriller is supposed to be full of suspense and twists but at the end it leaves you totally confused and bewildered as the hero character in the film. kumar and jay embarked on making a typical m night shyamalan movie, but ends up with egg on their face". raúl de tomás gómez (;

"hollyoaks" producer emma smithwick said that she was initially nervous about the "union of the dark soul mates, mercy and browning, but their chemistry is so watchable - that story is pretty dark". mercedes begins to "fall for the charms" of doctor browning, believing she has "landed on her feet" when he invites her to a charity ball. metcalfe commented that mercedes begins to think he could provide her with the wag lifestyle she has always wanted. she added that mercedes still wants riley but she "craves a bit of danger". thompson also commented on this, saying doctor browning offers an "exciting alternative" for mercedes compared to riley. on the relationship thompson said: "he knows what makes her tick, and the two of them are excited by how dangerous the other is". he went on to explain that doctor browning initially agreed to pretend to be in a relationship with mercedes to help make riley jealous but "he's fallen for her and will do whatever it takes to be with her. he thinks if he spends enough time with mercy, he'll win her around". when doctor browning sees riley kiss mercedes "it becomes a question of how much he can take" and he decides he must "make a quick move" to prevent them reuniting. he takes mercedes to a shooting range, thompson explained that there she "realises there's an undeniable connection between them". he added that the couple are "kindred spirits" and mercedes spending time with him will make her rethink their relationship. to dissuade riley from reuniting with mercedes, doctor browning gets riley intoxicated and then warns him off of mercedes. thompson said that "it seemed to be written in the stars that mercedes and riley will get back together - but dr browning won't let that happen". thompson claimed that due to doctor browning having incriminating evidence on mercedes he has "real power, she thinks she's in control, but she might just be underestimating dr browning..." lynsey is found dead by brendan brady (emmett j. scanlan). her death sparks a "whodunit storyline" as a "number of suspects had a motive for wanting to get rid of her". a promotional image revealed six suspects for the murder which did not include doctor browning. daniel kilkelly of digital spy said that although doctor browning is not an official suspect fans of the serial had speculated that doctor browning could be lynsey's murderer due to his issues with lynsey. a series of interactive videos released by the official "hollyoaks" website later listed doctor browning as one of seven "main suspects" for the murder, with viewers able to interrogate the suspects. on 17 august 2012 during e4's first look episode it was revealed doctor browning had killed lynsey when jacqui mcqueen (claire cooper) finds the murder weapon, lynsey's scarf, amongst doctor browning's possessions. "hollyoaks" official website said doctor browning's motives in killing lynsey were "presumably to protect mercedes". the aftermath of jacqui's discovery, including doctor browning's explanation of his motives and kidnapping of mercedes, boosted "hollyoaks" ratings. mercedes reunites with riley who cheats on her with mitzeee, leading to mercedes kidnapping her and riley's son in revenge. mercedes is arrested and shortly after riley is shot dead. at her trial, doctor browning is called forward as a witness when her lawyer jim mcginn (dan tetsell) blames riley for mercedes' actions, claiming he abused her so she prevented riley from seeing their son to protect him. doctor browning arrives for the trial where he claims riley was also responsible for killing lynsey. metcalfe revealed that mercedes is shocked when she sees doctor browning again as she does not know how she will react until she sees him which takes both of them "back in that moment when he was dragged away from her. she really did fall for him hook, line and sinker". the actress opined that doctor browning is her character's soul mate as he "gives as good as he gets" which is "really good" for mercedes. on 9 august 2013, daniel kilkelly from digital spy confirmed that thompson had left "hollyoaks". the actor would soon film his final scenes and his character will make his on-screen departure in the autumn. kilkelly stated "digital spy understands that it was always the plan for doctor browning to bow out in the latter half of this year, as thompson is keen to explore other acting opportunities." doctor browning's exit storyline is being kept secret. doctor browning pays mercedes mcqueen (jennifer metcalfe) for sex and asks to keep seeing her and gives her more money. when lynsey nolan (karen hassan) resuscitates a dnr patient; doctor browning tells her that the department are investigating the incident, he admits he forgot to write the patient's dnr request on their notes. he threatens to report lynsey and mercedes tries to convince him not to. mercedes discovers doctor browning is married and threatens to tell his wife of their relationship if doctor browning reports lynsey for resuscitating the dnr patient. he later promises not to report lynsey who is later given her job back as a nurse. mercedes later calls doctor browning and arranges a meeting. she sleeps with him again for money and the next day he goads lynsey about it. she warns him to stay away from her because mercedes is not well and accuses him of taking advantage. he later treats carmel mcqueen (gemma merna) for her burn injuries and catches lynsey attempting to view walker's (neil newbon) medical records. after discharging mercedes from hospital, lynsey is found dead and doctor browning confirms her time of death. he forges mercedes' discharge papers so it appears as though she left hospital after lynsey's murder. he moves into the flat next door to riley costello (rob norbury) to be closer to mercedes. he blackmails mercedes with the papers and tells her that she can make riley jealous if they pretend to be in a relationship. his wife, helen browning, visits mercedes and warns her that doctor browning will ruin her life. she has a black eye and mercedes uses this to give riley the impression that doctor browning has been hitting her. he tells riley that mercedes is lying and she leaves him. doctor browning finds mercedes and they share their secrets about bad deeds. he tells her that he loves her no matter what she has done and they become closer. jacqui mcqueen (claire cooper) discovers lynsey's scarf in his office desk and assumes that he is the killer. it is later revealed that doctor browning went to threaten lynsey into keeping quiet about mercedes stalking mitzeee. they argued and he strangled her, not knowing that walker was watching. when mercedes finds out the truth, doctor browning kidnaps her and drives off. he suggests that they go abroad and mercedes agrees, but the police arrive and arrest him. at the trial for lynsey's murder doctor browning pleads not guilty and is later acquitted when he blames riley for lynsey's murder, after riley's death. doctor browning surprises mercedes on christmas eve and spends christmas with mercedes' family. mercedes is thrown out by her family and doctor browning proposes marriage to her which she accepts. when mercedes' mother, myra mcqueen (nicole barber-lane) begins feeling ill, doctor browning suggests she come and see him at the hospital as she may have a serious illness. he carries out some scans on her and switches her results with another patient so it appears as if she has cancer. doctor browning suggests that myra may not have long to live so should remain close to her family and make up with mercedes. when he tells myra that she's not going to die, jim mcginn (dan tetsell), a lawyer, suggests that myra could sue and get a lot of money. when doctor browning hears this he asks his boss if he'd make sure he didn't get fired in exchange for anything. his boss, davies, says that he'll make sure nothing happens to doctor browning in exchange for one night with mercedes. doctor browning says that that was a ridiculous idea, but when mercedes finds out, she tells doctor browning that she'll do it, but then stop dating doctor browning. when mercedes goes, she decides to video everything that happens, but davies finds out and proceeds to try and rape her but doctor browning saves her. in 2013, when clare devine (gemma bissix) kidnaps mercedes, doctor browning finds clare and tries to strangle her in her hotel but jim turns up and saves her. when finding out where mercedes is, he tries to save her but gets knocked unconscious with a rock by clare who locks him in the cage with her but when clare is arrested they are saved by the police. he then proposes to mercedes. after the events a new doctor appears called lindsey butterfield (sophie austin) which infuriates him because he killed lynsey and that reminded him of her name. he begins stalking her which makes mercedes think that he is having an affair with her. on their wedding day, mercedes confronts lindsey accusing her of having an affair with doctor browning, which leads to a catfight which has to be broken up by doctor browning. doctor browning grabs lindsey off mercedes so her husband joe roscoe (ayden callaghan) punches him after he thinks he is attacking lindsey. after the events, mercedes and doctor browning finally get married. days after the wedding, doctor browning begins stalking lindsey again and locks himself in a lift with her and tries to rape her but lindsey scratches his face and runs away. he then has a one-night stand with cindy cunningham (stephanie waring) and after she threatens to tell mercedes he tries to kill her in the hollyoaks high school storeroom but she survives and recovers. when myra tries to split up doctor browning and mercedes, he hires trevor royle (greg wood) to kill her but he fails and she survives which angers doctor browning. myra suspects he is behind it and tells everyone that he is a murderer and puts up posters that he is a murderer so doctor browning and trevor agree to kill her. however, when jim finds out he plans to help her escape. mercedes learns of the plan and goes along with it. mercedes gets a gun and points it at doctor browning but he overpowers her and locks her in the bathroom and takes the gun. trevor goes to kill myra but jim helps her escape so doctor browning goes to kill her. he finds her by a dock and shoots her into the water just before jim comes to take her away. it is then revealed that she survived because jim gave her a bullet proof vest then she decides to go live in spain so doctor browning goes to prison. when he gets home he tells mercedes he killed myra so mercedes reluctantly agrees that she deserved it until they get to the loft and mercedes attacks doctor browning. doctor browning manages to overpower her and tries to kill her until jim interrupts and he is arrested. he tells trevor he killed myra and he confesses to the murders of lynsey and myra and the attempted

trevor tries to stop clare from detonating the bomb but fails and the council flats are blown up, killing doug, ash kane (holly weston) and leanne holiday (jessica forrest). mercedes finds out and fights with clare and throws her in front of an oncoming car which kills her. the driver turns out to be doctor browning who kidnaps mercedes. doctor browning takes mercedes back to the mcqueen

up and attacks cindy as revenge, however mercedes hits him with the shovel and hits him again killing him. they put him in the price slice freezer but when it breaks they hire freddie roscoe (charlie clapham) to get rid of the body. freddie puts him in a car and throws it off a cliff and they all agree to keep quiet. for his role as doctor browning, joseph thompson was nominated in the "newcomer" category at the 2013 national television awards. jaci stephen of the "daily mail" pondered whether "dr browning ever do a full day’s work of, well, doctoring? while the rest of the nhs claims to be underpaid and overworked, dr browning is having a breeze. if ever he has the incentive to write a prescription, please put out the bunting". stephen's colleague, claudia connel felt that soap operas could help give david cameron ideas to improve the nhs, noting that "dr browning in hollyoaks is even good enough to leave his office unlocked so patients can help themselves to whatever they fancy. drugs? a butcher’s at someone else’s medical notes? fill your boots". laura morgan of "all about soap" felt that doctor browning is "dodgy" and that he is a "fairly obvious suspect" in the investigation for lynsey's murder. she added that doctor browning "might not be a murderer, but you can't deny there's something not right about the preying practitioner". morgan explained that doctor browning has a hold over mercedes due to him having proof that mercedes was in the village when lynsey was killed although she thought that doctor browning "could he be trying to cover his own tracks by shifting the blame onto someone else". morgan went on to say that after doctor browning sees through mercedes scheme to solve the problem, "the devilish doc advised mercedes she was better to keep him on side [...] we’re going to see a lot more of dr browning in the next few weeks. there’s going to be some interesting clues about his past, but will any of these lead us to be convinced he’s a cold-blooded killer?" morgan's "all about soap" colleague carena crowford felt that was "something suspect" about doctor browning. she said silas was left alone with "the dodgy doc, and the next thing they knew the old man had knocked browning out, stolen his shoes and run away. come on, are we really expected to believe silas could take out young, strong dr b alone? or is this evidence they’re working together...?" after it was revealed doctor browning killed lynsey, morgan said she "had the dastardly doc's card marked from day one, but have to admit that tonight's big reveal has left us a bit cold". she said that the murder was "a crime of passion, but there’s no way mercy is worth killing for. [...] disappointingly, it also transpired that dr browning has zilch to do with silas's epic return. it was a mere coincidence that the medical man was caught up in the serial killer’s escape from hospital. we think it could have made a brilliant twist if silas had been schooling dr b, and getting him to carry on his work while he was behind bars". "inside soap" journalist sarah commented lynsey's killer is revealed to be "none other than dodgy dr browning! who saw that one coming?" she went on to add that her colleague had guessed the "menacing medic" to be responsible for the "despicable act" but because doctor browning was not one of the original suspects listed she had overlooked him as a suspect. anthony d. langford from afterelton praised browning's relationship with mercedes, saying he is "loving the dysfunctional affair between mercedes and the bad dr. browning. their scenes are hot and they are so suited for each other. the games they play with each other are a hoot. i pray he's not lynsey's killer". upon the reveal of doctor browning as lynsey's killer, langford said he had predicted doctor browning as the killer but that he "hated that it turned out i was right". he went on to comment that it had previously "mattered little" to him that doctor browning could be responsible for the murder "but over the past several weeks, much has changed. the more i got to see the good doctor and his blistering chemistry with mercedes, the more i liked him. yes, the doctor is a bit twisted and a bad boy, but he was perfect for a twisted girl like mercedes. i loved their scenes — they were hot, hot, hot. i really thought they made a delicious and fun couple. but now it’s all ruined with browning being a killer". cowboy poems free is an album by progressive rock band echolyn. yamanlar is a village in karşıyaka district of i̇zmir province, turkey.

1666) was governor of new mexico between 1610 and 1613 at a time when it was a province of new spain. he formally founded the city of santa fe, new mexico in 1610. in august 1613 he was arrested and jailed for almost a year by the franciscan friar isidro ordóñez. later, he was vindicated by the mexican inquisition and held a number of other senior posts in the spanish imperial administration. the settlement of new mexico began when juan de oñate led a group of colonizers into the territory in 1598, serving as governor from 1601 until 1609. by 1608, there were only 200 spanish people, almost all in the capital of san gabriel on the west bank of the rio grande opposite san juan pueblo. no gold or silver had been found and the viceroy was receiving reports of mistreatment of the indians and of near-starvation of the settlers. due to these problems, on 13 september 1608 the council of the indies made a formal recommendation that new mexico be abandoned. however, soon afterwards, fray lázaro jiménez brought news from new mexico that 7,000 indians had been converted and baptized. they could not be abandoned, so king philip iii of spain suspended the order to evacuate the colony. according to one source, don pedro de peralta was a bachelor of canon law. a report of possessions found in his house after his arrest includes a law book. peralta was appointed governor of new mexico by the viceroy, luis de velasco, marqués de salinas on 31 march 1609, shortly after peralta had arrived from spain. juan de oñate had asked velasco for compensation for his efforts in new mexico, and asked that his son christóbal be allowed to succeed him. valasco replied that he had named peralta as governor, and that onate should hand over to him when he arrived at the rio grande and should then return with his son to mexico city without delay. an expedition with supplies and reinforcements left for the north late in 1609. peralta reached the capital, la villa de san gabriel, early in 1610. he was met by oñate, who left for the south in early february to face charges of maladministration. peralta brought twelve soldiers and eight franciscan priests with him. his instructions included searching for the straits of anián, on which he should establish a secure port. san gabriel was remote from the main pueblo indian population centers. juan de oñate had planned to move the capital south to the santa fe river valley. peralta selected a defensible site with ample available land and a good water supply for the town, which he called santa fe. he and his surveyor laid out the town, including the districts, house and garden plots and the santa fe plaza for the government buildings. these included the governor's headquarters, government offices, a jail, arsenal and a chapel. on completion, the plaza could hold "1,000 people, 5000 head of sheep, 400 head of horses, and 300 head of cattle without crowding." the palace was built for defense with three-foot-thick adobe walls. the palace of the governors is now the oldest continuously occupied building in the united states, and as of 1999 housed the museum of new mexico. the church assumed that the main objective in new mexico was to convert the indians, and the civil power existed only in order to provide protection and to support this goal. as chief magistrate and head of the army, the governor had equal powers but different objectives, so clashes were inevitable. the church argued that the friars had a duty to protect the indians from abuses by the military and civilians. perhaps to weaken the church position, peralta issued strict regulations that imposed imprisonment for ten days by the civil authority for any spaniard found guilty of abusing an indian worker. a fine was also payable to the victim. this resulted in some incidents where pueblos deliberately provoked violence in order to earn the fine. fray isidro de ordóñez, who had twice before been in new mexico, arrived with the supply train in 1612 as the leader of nine franciscan friars. when he reached the southernmost mission at sandia pueblo, he produced a document that apparently made him father commissary, or head of the church in new mexico, although later the document was said to be a forgery. in santa fe, despite peralta's protests, ordóñez proclaimed that any soldier or colonist could leave if they wanted to. ordóñez also accused peralta of underfeeding the natives who were working on the construction of santa fe. the struggle for power intensified, and in may 1613 ordonez excommunicated peralta, posting a notice announcing this on the doors of the santa fe church. on 12 august 1613 ordóñez and his followers arrested peralta and had him chained and imprisoned in the mission of nuestra señora de los dolores (our lady of sorrows) at sandia. his jailer was fray esteban de perea, who disapproved but obeyed. ordóñez assumed full civil as well as religious power in new mexico until a new temporal governor, don bernardino de ceballos, arrived in new mexico in the summer of 1614. peralta was not allowed to leave until november 1614, after ordóñez and the new governor had taken most of his possessions. this was the start of long-running disputes between the friars and the secular administration, which later became so violent that in 1620 the king himself had to intervene, taking the side of his governors. peralta returned to mexico city and told his version of the dispute with ordóñez. the mexican inquisition eventually ordered ordóñez to return to mexico city, and reprimanded him. peralta was vindicated. shortly afterwards, he was appointed "alcalde mayor" of the port of acapulco. peralta moved to caracas, in what is now venezuela, where he served as an official in the royal treasury in the 1640s and early 1650s. he married in caracas in 1637. peralta later resigned his commission in 1654 and then lived in retirement in madrid until his death. pedro de peralta died in 1666. most likely because of pedro de peralta's previous governorship his family name of "peralta" was the inspiration for a number of legends in the southwest region of the united states. it is unclear if any of the peraltas who may have inhabited the area in the 1700s and later were any relation to pedro de peralta. in the 1870s and 1880s james reavis popularized the idea of a rich peralta family who had lived and ruled over part of the american southwest. he tried to assert a peralta spanish land grant and barony granted by the king of spain, which included a huge swath of arizona and new mexico, including the superstition mountains. dr. george m. willing, a territorial delegate to congress, claimed to have purchased the land grant from a man named miguel peralta (reavis became willing's partner to defend the claim and initially the us government indicated reavis' documents supported the legitimacy of the land grant). reavis married a woman he claimed was the peralta heiress to the "barony of arizona" and he became known as "the baron of arizona." reavis convinced some in the disputed land grant area to pay him for quitclaims on their existing properties and sold other areas to property investors. reavis' forged peralta genealogy and other documents were later exposed, and he served a prison sentence for fraud. his partner (dr. willing) died earlier in 1874. according to legend, but not supported by historical records, the peralta family owned land near the superstition mountains. the peralta massacre is a legend that apaches supposedly ambushed a mining expedition the family sent into the mountains. some carved stones in the area are referred to as "peralta stones" and spanish text and crude maps on them are considered by some to be clues to the location of a peralta family gold mine in the superstition mountains, although others believe the stones to be modern fakes. the last patriarch of the family was supposedly a large landowner named don miguel peralta (who some claim was the one with the land grant (or perhaps sold a false land grant) that became part of the reavis fraud). the peralta mine in the superstition mountains is part of the legends about the origin of the lost dutchman's gold mine. harvest time () is a 2004 russian drama film directed by marina razbezhkina. it was entered into the 26th moscow international film festival. the film is set in a chuvash village during the early 1950s. antonina guseva lives with her husband gennadiy, a disabled war veteran, and two young sons, vanya and kolya. narration (voice-over) is on behalf of kolya. antonina is the best combine operator of the district, and she is awarded with a transferable red banner (instead of the calico piece she desired). mice spoil the banner, and antonina has to not only continuously repair it, but also to win again in the socialist emulation, so that the banner remains with her and the authorities do not notice the consequences of "diversionist activities" by the mice. gennadiy becomes a drunkard and passes away. the last scene is set in a city apartment of the times of perestroika. after the death of antonina, who survived her sons, old furniture is taken out from the flat. on tv the film "guest from kuban" with a song about combine operators is transmitted. an unknown girl casually browses photos and things from the village house, which are about to go to the dump. she takes out a small piece of red velvet (everything that remains of the red banner), wraps her head with it and goes to the street. kolya's voice-over: events from

medicines formulary 26 (imf 26) ensures doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses have accurate medicines information which is medico-legally appropriate and up-to-date for ireland. the a-z of medicines, it includes all original brands, branded generics and pure generics. inclusion of nutritional supplements, herbal preparations, reimbursed medical devices and otc products makes multidisciplinary team care a reality. imf 26 also includes commonly prescribed exempt medicines i.e. medicines that are prescribed in ireland but are not licensed in ireland. together with essential prescribing information, imf also includes irish-specific practical information – pricing in euro, reference pricing, reimbursement status, generic substitution, storage requirements and effects of medicines on ability to drive. for any doctor, pharmacist, nurse or dentist intending to practice in ireland, having the latest imf book is like having a valid visa for entry and a driver's license for progress. published by meridian ireland, imf in paperback format is edited, designed and printed in ireland. imf-online is also available. for more information visit www.imfmedia.ie. the irish-specific prescribing information provided for each drug is sourced solely from the product license or summary of product characteristics (spc) specific for ireland as published on the website of the health regulatory authority (hpra) or the european medicines agency (ema). first published in february 2007, imf 26 (september 2019) has just been published and imf-online updated with the latest content at the same time. imf-online reflects the contents of the hard copy, except, in specialised areas such as oncology, immunology, hiv antivirals, where more detailed information is included. new: antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for primary care in ireland
imf 26 now includes antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for eight antibiotics with co-amoxiclav the most recent addition. evidence-based antimicrobial guidelines are a key tool in efforts to improve antibiotic prescribing, reduce the progression of antibiotic resistance and optimise patient outcomes. the community antimicrobial stewardship subcommittee of the sari national committee developed these guidelines from 2009-2011. since 2011, they have been overseen by the rcsi/hse clinical advisory group on healthcare-associated infection and antimicrobial resistance (hcai/amr), chaired by dr nuala o’connor, icgp lead. new: childhood immunisation schedule for ireland
imf 26 also includes the recently revised childhood immunisation schedule for ireland. this schedule includes vaccinations required for babies (2-13 months), children and adolescents (up to 13 years) as well as hpv vaccination for boys. prescribing information: imf provides prescribing information for medicines available to be prescribed for patients in ireland. this affords prescribers an easy and quick double check e.g. dose (especially if different for elderly or adolescents/children), suitable for use in certain special populations (a patient with renal or hepatic impairment or in pregnancy). drug interactions (i.e. co-administered drugs if contraindicated or precautions are needed), special precautions (i.e. considerations before or while using the drug), as well as expected adverse events are also included. euro price and reimbursement: in addition to actual prescribing information, the doctor, nurse prescriber or pharmacist may also need to check administrative information which is specific for ireland e.g. the euro price or whether the medicine is reimbursed under the various irish reimbursement schemes e.g. gms scheme (gms) or high tech scheme (ht). reimbursement falls under the remit of the health service executive (hse). drugs in sport and driving: also included is top-line information on the use of drugs in sport as sourced from the world anti-doping agency and information on driving as sourced from the summary of product characteristics for each drug and supplemented with information from the druid (driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicines) project. the atc code for each molecule is also included for accurate referencing of medicines prescribed when legally required. hpra pharmacovigilance information: each edition also includes pharmacovigilance information supplied by the health products regulatory authority (hpra). adverse reaction, quality defect report forms: copies of the official health products regulatory authority adverse reaction report form (yellow card) and quality defect report card (green card). can be found in imf. how to write a prescription in ireland: imf-online includes information on prescription writing from the royal college of surgeons in ireland (rcsi) i.e. rules and regulations pertaining to prescription writing according to irish legislation, as well as the legal requirements for writing prescriptions for controlled drugs. the information pertaining to prescriptions for controlled drugs has been updated in accordance with the newly published 2016 legislation. imf is used by irish general practitioners (gps), hospital doctors, nurse prescribers and pharmacists in both community and hospital practice. particularly useful is that under each molecule (inn), imf lists the generic brands marketed in ireland. with increasing use of generics through substitution, doctors and pharmacists can use imf to show patients that the generic equivalent they have received is the same as the original brand. the website of the hpra lists the interchangeable medicines that are licensed in ireland but not all of them are necessarily marketed; however, imf includes those that are both licensed and marketed i.e. available to prescribe. imf is also used by nursing professionals (especially nurse prescribers and public health nurses), academic institutions e.g. the department of family medicine and general practice, royal college of surgeons in ireland (rcsi), state health and regulatory agencies e.g. primary care reimbursement service (pcrs), the hse, hpra and professionals working in the pharmaceutical industry. imf is also widely used to ensure effective medication management in nursing homes throughout ireland. the medical protection society (ireland) produces a number of guidelines addressing safety issues, including safe prescribing. their guidelines "avoiding problems – managing the risks in hospital practice" and "avoiding problems – managing the risks in general practice in ireland" advise "adopting accepted practice", for example, "prescribing in accordance with the irish medicines formulary". imf is a fully complete and independent medicines reference specific of ireland and is published each february and august. the 2012–13 luxembourg national division was the 99th season of top-tier football in

preacher and spiritual autobiographer. she has been cited as "one of the first outspoken black women in the united states." mitzi smith suggests that elaw and other black women of the time used pauline biblical texts to develop their own "politics of origins". elaw was born in pennsylvania, a free woman. brought up in philadelphia, by a black and deeply religious family, after the death of her mother in 1802, she was sent to live with a quaker family, pierson and rebecca mitchell; her father died just two years later. after seeing a vision of jesus, she joined a methodist society in 1808, marrying joseph elaw and moving to burlington, new jersey, in 1811. the couple had a daughter, rebecca, in 1812. in 1817, elaw attended a revival camp for a week, and after falling into a trance, she gave her first ever public speech. she fell ill in 1819, and while remaining sick for two years, experienced an angelic visitation. after joseph's death from consumption in 1823, elaw opened a school for african-american children in burlington, but increasingly believing she had been called upon as a minister, she departed in 1825 and went on a preaching mission among slaves in maryland and virginia. she became a traveling preacher, carrying her message and that of her lord. during the period of 1827 to 1840, she ministered as an itinerant preacher in the united states, and was known to be in nantucket in 1832. elaw moved to england, preaching in the summer of 1840. she lived there and preached at least into the 1860s, penning "memoirs of the life, religious experience, and ministerial travels and labours of mrs. zilpha elaw, an american female of colour" in 1846. according to her memoirs, she preached more than 1,000 sermons in great britain over these years, but often faced hostility and heavy criticism from the victorian british clergy, who believed that it was inappropriate for a woman to preach. it is unclear if she returned to the us before her death. a referendum on a reorganisation of local government was held in the northern mariana islands on 7 november 1987. the proposal was approved by voters. the proposed reorganisation of local government was a legislative initiative passed by a 75% majority in both houses of the legislature. as a result, only a simply majority of votes was required for the proposals to pass. the proposals involved a complete rewrite of chapter vi of the constitution, which defined the rights, duties and electoral system for local government. intelliserv is a national oilwell varco brand that manufactures and sells a broadband networked drilling string system used to transmit downhole information to the surface in a drilling operation. the intelliserv network is a broadband telemetry system that allows instant transmission of data between the surface and the measurement tools positioned in the drill string bottomhole assembly near the drill bit. the invention of intelliserv technology began in 1997 with a project on hydraulic mud hammers sponsored by the company novatek and the united states department of energy. the project addressed the need for instant transmission of downhole data (data acquired within the wellhole) through drill pipe, leading to novatek’s beginning on a networked drill pipe development project. in 2001, the national energy technology laboratory (netl) began providing funding for the drill pipe project and an additional drill pipe data transmission project. five years of department of energy and netl-funded research resulted in the intelliserv network and intellipipe, a drill pipe with an embedded data cable. in 2006, grant prideco bought the intelliserv technology and launched the first intelliserv network. grant prideco was purchased by national oilwell varco (nov) in 2008, and the nov-intelliserv joint venture was formed in 2009 with 55% national oilwell varco and 45% schlumberger ownership. the first commercial deployment of a drill string telemetry network occurred using intelliserv’s product in myanmar in december 2006. the intelliserv network components are embedded in drill string components, known as intellipipe, which transmit subsurface data at 57,000 bits per second. the intelliserv network upgrade can raise the speed to one million bits per second. the two-way data communication between downhole measurement while drilling (mwd) and logging while drilling (lwd) measurement tools and the operators at the surface allow the operators to command rotary-steering tools, or configure downhole tools such as the formation pressure testing tool or sonic tools. the intelliserv network includes measurement nodes along the full length of the drill string that allow operators to acquire data along the wellbore. the measurement nodes measure and transmit temperature and pressure data acquired along the drill string, which can improve well site efficiency and reduce risks associated with hole cleaning, such as pack offs. the transmission of information is not affected by the depth, formation resistivity, drilling fluid properties, or required flow of the well. surface operating parameters can control items detected by the sensors, such as shock and vibration. the networked drill pipe can transmit data acquired by most large service companies. as of march 2012, the system has been deployed on 90 wells totaling more than 1 million feet of drilling. the intelliserv networked drillstrings have been used in well construction projects in five continents for the following: intelliserv partners with the following companies and organizations: the united arab emirates competed at the 2012 summer paralympics in london. the uae was represented by 15 competitors. gretel ii (ka-3) is an international 12-metre class racing yacht built for the america's cup challenge series in 1970. she was designed by alan payne and built by w.h. barnett for australian media tycoon sir frank packer. packer had first challenged for the america's cup in 1962 with the yacht "gretel", which was named after his wife. "gretel" was competitive but lost that challenge 4–1. in 1970 packer returned to newport, rhode island to challenge again for the 'auld mug' with his new 12-metre yacht "gretel ii" representing the royal sydney yacht squadron. this yacht was the last of the wooden-hulled america's cup yachts. "gretel ii" was skippered by jim hardy with martin visser as tactician and starting helmsman and bill fesq as navigator. the crew included future olympic star class gold medallists david forbes and john anderson and future america's cup–winning skipper john bertrand as port trimmer. after defeating baron marcel bich’s "france" in the challenger selection series 4–0, the australian yacht took on the american defender "intrepid", skippered by bill ficker in a best-of-seven race series. "intrepid" won the first race when "gretel ii"s david forbes was swept overboard but managed to hang onto the sail and scramble back on board. then in a controversial second race, "gretel ii" crossed the finish line 1 minute 7 seconds ahead, but due to a collision at the start the australian challenger was disqualified. "intrepid" won the third race but "gretel ii" recorded a win in the fourth race by a margin of 1 minute 2 seconds. "intrepid" then took out the fifth race to win the america's cup 4–1. many observers, such as 1977 america's cup winning skipper ted turner, believed that "gretel ii" was a faster boat than "intrepid" but that the tactical cunning of bill ficker and steve van dyke and the performance of the american crew were the deciding factors in the americans' victory. "gretel ii" served as a trial horse for alan bond’s "southern cross" in the 1974 america's cup. in the 1977 america's cup "gretel ii", skippered by gordon ingate, was one of four yachts vying to challenge for the cup. her wooden decking was replaced with aluminium for the new campaign. ingate had a veteran crew which earned them the nickname 'dad's navy'. the yacht was eliminated by their swedish rival "sverige" during the challenger selection trials. the new alan bond yacht "australia" won the right to challenge but lost to the americans. decades later, after falling into disrepair, "gretel ii" was restored by a group of yachting enthusiasts in 2009. she is currently in a private marina at pyrmont, sydney, australia. iron sky: invasion is an official video game expansion of the 2012 finnish science fiction comedy "iron sky". the game is developed by reality pump studios, and is published by topware interactive.

produced notable agitprop exhibitions in the 1970s and early 1980s. working in the united kingdom during second wave feminism (1960s–1980s), the hackney flashers are an example of collectives prevalent in the latter half of the 20th century that worked to raise consciousness of social or political issues relevant to the times. this group's original aim was to make visible the invisible and document women's work in the home and outside of it, helping to make the case for childcare and show the complex social and economic issues of women and childcare. the group's origins go back to 1974 when photographers jo spence and neil martinson were searching for women photographers to produce an exhibition on women and work for hackney trades council. a woman designer and an illustrator, a writer and an editor also joined the group. members were engaged in a variety of occupations at a professional level: university teaching, community photography, freelance photojournalism and publishing; some were active trade unionists. in 1975 the collective was consolidated when it adopted the name hackney flashers. from the start the flashers’ output was distributed as the work of a collective. it was a political decision that individual names were never listed, specific images or writing never credited. this may have led to later confusion about who was in the hackney flashers and who worked on the different projects. members were an dekker, sally greenhill, gerda jager, liz heron, michael ann mullen, maggie murray, christine roche, jo spence and julia vellacott. in her history of women photographers in britain, val williams recounts that "the group's nine women members began to study the use of photography within the capitalist system and to present alternatives. they played a decisive part in establishing a context within which women workers from different cultural fields could work together in pursuit of a collective political aim". others associated with the group were helen grace, maggie millman, jini rawlings, ruth barrenbaum, nanette salomon, arlene strasberg and chris treweek. neil martinson was a founding member and the main point of contact between the group and hackney trades council. he left the group in november 1975. terry dennett did not join the group, but came to one or two meetings as an observer. the group’s purpose and politics grew and developed over time – not without internal conflict and dissent. members came from differing class backgrounds and political stances. some were of the left, others emerging feminists. the group's feminist practice was reflected in their tactics of working as a small group outside of institutions like academia. they worked on bringing personal and domestic issues into the public sphere. they would meet in each other's homes. the dynamic of the group is documented in liz heron’s article, "who’s still holding the camera?" in "photography politics:one". one of the aims of the group was to uncover what was hidden (hence ‘flashers’). this was true of the many images of women at work (rarely recorded at the time) in the first exhibition and the complications of juggling childcare and work in the second. the works were conceived as campaigning and educational. the second exhibition also engaged with issues of representation, of subverting imagery and the difficulty of visually showing a lack. val williams notes that "the eclectic use of graphics, of cartooning and of advertisements began a process which took photography out of its traditional limits and re-established it as a medium of cohesive political propaganda." both exhibitions were intended for use in community centres, schools, trades union gatherings and every sort of alternative venue. the panels appeared in town halls, health centres, at conferences, in libraries and at the hayward gallery when it was selected by curator john tagg to be included in the 'three perspectives of photography' in 1979. the collective also functioned as a co-operative, skill-sharing experience for women working in the media, who at that time had a very low profile and were often isolated. the hackney flashers collective produced three main pieces of work, although there were other experimental pieces, including montages, which were made in the group’s occasional creative workshops the collective split up in the early 80s citing political differences and the wish to work on other projects. members of the collective continued to develop their own careers or engage in new fields. sally greenhill worked as a photojournalist, liz heron worked as a journalist and literary translator and is the author of fiction and non-fiction books; michael ann mullen became photography officer at the glc and later lectured in history of photography at middlesex university; maggie murray (with val wilmer) set up format photographers – a women's photo agency; christine roche continued as a cartoonist/illustrator and taught at the london college of printing; jo spence produced books and exhibitions on health and representation. she died in 1992. julia vellacott was an editor at penguin books. informal contact and collaboration between many of the flashers went on for many years and continues. the work of the hackney flashers has been noted in histories of photography and of the art practices of collage and montage. beyond the initial showing of the work, the projects by the hackney flashers have been included in several major exhibitions in recent years. these have included but are not limited to: 2000: "protest and survive" at the whitechapel gallery, curated by artists matthew higgs and paul noble 2005–2006: "jo spence: beyond the perfect image, photography, subjectivity, antagonism" at museu d’art contemporani de barcelona 27 october 2005 – 15 january 2006, curators jorge ribalta and terry dennett. 2012: "who's still holding the baby? hackney flashers 1978" exhibition at the women's art library, goldsmiths university of london, 1–30 june 2012, curated by dr hazel frizell. 2012: "jo spence: work i", space, london, 1 june – 15 july 2012. 2012–2013: "transmitter receiver: the persistence of collage", an arts council touring exhibition, middlesbrough, woking, walsall, lincoln, aberystwyth, carlisle, in 2014, former members of the group launched a hackney flashers website and organized a 40th anniversary event. the reverend jordan winston early (june 17, 1814 – november 19, 1903) was an american methodist african american preacher, considered to have been one of the pioneers of african methodism in the west and south of the united states. in 1868, he married sarah jane woodson early, and the couple were prominent in spreading methodism and black nationalism, and his wife taught wherever he preached. early, a former slave, was born on june 17, 1814, in franklin county, virginia. after his mother's death, when early was three, he and his siblings were cared for by a maternal aunt, an uncle who taught him astronomy, and an older woman on the plantation, known as "aunt milly". sold separately from his parents, he became a minister at the age of 12. early and his family were taken by their masters to missouri in 1826, where early joined the methodist church, and was emancipated in the same year. while working on a riverboat that plied between st. louis and new orleans, he learned how to read and write, taught by a presbyterian minister and a shipmate. joining the african methodist episcopal church in 1832, early worked to build more local congregations. in 1836, he was licensed as an ame preacher. he helped expand the church in st. louis, new orleans, illinois, indiana, and tennessee. by 1838, he was ordained a deacon. in 1840, early and other supporters built the first ame church in st. louis. in 1843, he married louisa carter, and they had eight children, four of whom survived to adulthood. the earlys sent their children to wilberforce university. he became licensed as an exhorter in 1853. in the late 1850s, early evangelized in tennessee and founded ame missions in missouri (kirkwood, saint charles, roche port, washington, jefferson city, louisiana, booneville, saint joseph, and weston). after louisa died in 1862, early married sarah jane woodson early on september 24, 1868. the couple were prominent in spreading methodism and black nationalism; his wife taught wherever he preached, serving as a principal in four cities. jordan early and his wife sarah retired to nashville from active minister appointments in 1888. his wife wrote a biography of her husband and his rise from slavery that is included among postwar slave narratives. this is a recap of the 1980 season for the professional bowlers association (pba) tour. it was the tour's 22nd season, and consisted of 34 events. wayne webb broke the six-season earl anthony-mark roth stranglehold on pba player of the year awards, as he achieved the honor on the strength of three titles, including the firestone tournament of champions major. webb was also the tour's leading money winner on the season. steve martin won his second career pba title and first major at the bpaa u.s. open. the following week, johnny petraglia captured the title at the pba national championship to give him his third career major and all three jewels of the pba's "triple crown." only billy hardwick had achieved this same feat to date. mark roth made pba tour history in the finals of the season-opening event in alameda, california, when he became the first player to convert the 7-10 split on national television. apix is an association of internet exchange points in the asia pacific region. apix is also part of the global ix-f internet exchange federation. individual electoral registration (ier) is the voter registration system which took effect from 10 june 2014 in england and wales and from 19 september 2014 in scotland. under the previous system, the "head of the household" was required to register all residents of the household who are eligible. under the new system individuals are required to register themselves, as well as provide their national insurance number and date of birth on the application form so that their identity can be verified. the westminster government had introduced ier to northern ireland in 2002 in the electoral fraud (northern ireland) act 2002, but england, wales and scotland continued to use a system of householder registration. the uk's politically independent electoral commission had been pushing for such a reform for some time. in september 2010, mark harper, the government's minister for constitutional reform, announced the plan. a spokesman for the electoral reform society, an independent ngo, expressed some reservations: "you're potentially looking at registration rates in the 50% region. it will make some problems worse.". one recent study has also suggested that it will lead to a decline in electoral registration, unless other measures are put in place to offset these reductions. the government has stated that 35 million voters will be transferred to the new system automatically as their identity can be verified using the department of work and pensions database. the remainder will be required to prove their identity in order to remain on the electoral register. those who were added to the register under the previous system were not removed until after the general election in may 2015. the cameron government introduced the electoral registration and administration bill 2012 in the queen's speech in may, 2012 in order to provide for the introduction of compulsory ier for those wishing to vote by post or by proxy in 2014, and compulsory ier for all registrations by 2015. the bill passed swiftly through the house of commons and saw its second reading in the house of lords on 24 july 2012, having been introduced for the coalition by the liberal democrat peer, lord wallace of saltaire. it passed committee stage on 14 january 2013, and received royal assent on 31 january 2013 thereby passing into law as the electoral registration and administration act 2013. the cellars of 21 and 22 high street are listed buildings in the centre of coventry, in the west midlands of england. the cellar of no 21 is a grade ii listed building, while that of no 22 is grade i listed, meaning that they are sites of "special architectural or historic interest". the cellars were formerly a single crypt, built in the 15th century (ce). they are constructed from sandstone, and measure approximately 17 x 20 feet (no 21) and 56 x 27 feet (no 22). both are supported by large octagonal columns and ribbed vaulting. they were listed in 1955 (no 22) and 1975 (no 21). the cellars may be some of the oldest remaining traces of domestic building work in coventry, and several similar cellars exist elsewhere on high street and other nearby streets, some dating back to the 14th century. the cellars are divided into two aisles, each containing four bays, which are divided by the octagonal columns. no 22 is one of only 21 grade i listed buildings in coventry, while no 21 is one of approximately 350 grade ii listed buildings in the city. the status gives them legal protection against demolition or modifications which would destroy historic features or damage the buildings' character. t.h.c. was a trip hop band from los angeles, california, formed by producer/composer/keyboardist/bassist george sarah in 1992. vocalist and lyricist sarah folkman joined the band official in 1997 though she was a guest collaborator since 1995. from 1992 to 1999 the band released two full-length albums, one e.p. and two 12 inch records. george disbanded the band to work on solo projects. in 1995 george sarah as t.h.c. signed with fifth colvmn records and released death by design in january 1996. the album consisted of hard techno and ambient electronic music. half the album was co-produced by q a.k.a. uberzone. later that year an ep was released titled 'consenting guinea pig'. in 1996 george sarah toured the eastern usa on a three-week tour to perform both releases. in september of that year as t.h.c. george joined fellow fifth colvmn label mates 'death ride 69' performing bass on a 6-week tour supporting my life with the thrill kill kult across the u.s.a. in 1997 san diego base intelligent records released two t.h.c. 12inch instrumentals produced and performed by george sarah. in 1998 nettwerk records flew both george and sarah folkman to canada to record demo's for the label. the sessions were engineered by kmfdm gunter schultz. later that year t.h.c. performed a two-week residency in paris, france accompanied by a string trio (cello, viola, violin) which had become the live presentation of the band. in 1999, the band released one full-length album together called "adagio". it consisted of a somber beauty of melancholic charged electronica. t.h.c. gained some recognition after their music appeared in a couple of episodes of "buffy the vampire slayer" (as well as its spin-off, "angel"), playing the part of the fictional band shy, of whom veruca was the vocalist. george sarah also appeared on the show as shy's keyboard player. george sarah returned to "buffy the vampire slayer" on season six in the episode "hells bells" along with his string section during the wedding ceremony. t.h.c also had their music appear in several films including "the curve" directed by dan rosen and starring matthew lillard, michael vartan, and keri russell, "mascara" directed by linda kandel and starring ione skye, "cleopatra’s second husband" directed by jon reiss. the municipality of gorišnica (, ) is a municipality in slovenia. the area traditionally belonged to the region of styria. it is now included in the drava statistical region. it was notified in 1996 as a national park. leegate was a railway station on the maryport and carlisle railway (m&cr) and served this rural district in cumbria. the station was opened by the m&cr in 1848 and lay in the parish of bromfield. leegate station was opened by the maryport & carlisle railway in 1848. at grouping in 1923 the m&cr became a part of the london, midland and scottish railway. it was one of a number of lightly-used intermediate stations on the m&c line closed to passenger traffic by the british transport commission in the years immediately after nationalisation of the british railways network in 1948. services ceased on 5 june 1950, though goods traffic continued to be handled here until 1964. the main carlisle-maryport line (completed in 1845) remains open and forms part of the cumbrian coast line between carlisle and barrow in furness. the station had two through platforms, with substantial station buildings and a signal box. no trace however remains of the station today. john lewis "stub" brickels ( – ) was a high school, college and professional football coach who served as a backfield coach for the cleveland browns between 1946 and 1948. brickels began his coaching career in 1930, after graduating from wittenberg university in ohio, where he was a standout as a halfback on the school's football team. he coached high school football and basketball teams in ohio and west virginia in the 1930s and early 1940s before becoming the head basketball coach at the west virginia university in 1944. he held that post until 1945, when cleveland browns coach paul brown hired him to recruit players for the browns, a team under formation in the all-america football conference, while brown served in the u.s. navy during when the browns began play in 1946, brickels became the team's backfield coach, holding the post until he was named an assistant football coach at miami university after the 1948 season. he was promoted to head basketball coach and athletic director the following year, and remained in that position until his death of a heart attack in 1964. brickels attended wittenberg university in springfield, ohio, where he played four sports and was a star halfback on the school's football team. he graduated from wittenberg in 1930 and was a member of phi gamma delta (fiji). after graduating from college, brickels, nicknamed "stub", was hired as an assistant football and basketball coach at new philadelphia high school in new philadelphia, ohio. he was promoted to head coach of both teams in 1932. during one successful run, his football team won 36 of 40 games. the team played numerous times against dominant massillon washington high school squads coached by paul brown in the 1930s, although new philadelphia lost all of the matchups. brickels went on to become head basketball coach and assistant football coach at huntington high school in west virginia in 1938. in 1944, he was named the head basketball coach at the west virginia university, and led the team to the national invitation tournament in 1945. paul brown, who was serving in the u.s. navy during world war ii and coaching a service football team at a base outside chicago, hired brickels in 1945 to help him organize the cleveland browns, a new team in the all-america football conference. arthur b. mcbride, the team's owner, had hired brown as head coach and general manager, but brown was hamstrung by his military service and needed brickels to help recruit players. brown chose him because of his easygoing and glib manner and familiarity with the ohio sports scene. brickels set up an office in downtown cleveland and visited with players brown was interested in signing. brickels mostly did brown's bidding and signed numerous players on his behalf, but he also brought two men to brown's attention who later joined the browns and had long careers with the team. center frank gatski and guard ed ulinski both played at marshall university in huntington when brickels was coaching high school there. gatski had a hall of fame career in 11 seasons for the browns, and ulinski played four years for the team before becoming a long-time browns offensive line coach. when the browns started play, brickels became a backfield coach. he stayed with the browns for three seasons, after each of which the team won the aafc championship. brickels left the browns in 1949 to take a job as an assistant to football coach woody hayes at miami university. the following year, he was named the school's athletic director and head basketball coach. brickels died in 1964 of a heart attack while still the athletic director at miami. he was inducted into miami's athletics hall of fame in 1971 and into wittenberg's hall of honor in 1986. this is the list of u.s. states that have participated in the little league world series. "as of the 2019 little league world series" since 1976, a u.s. final is played. the winner plays versus the international champion for the llws. "as the 2018 little league world series" as of the 2018 llws, eight states, including washington d.c., have only ever appeared in regional tournaments and never advanced to the llws. the 2011 dragon world championships were held in melbourne, australia between 9 and 15 january 2011. the hosting yacht club was royal brighton yacht club. feeserpeton is an extinct genus of parareptile from the early permian of richard's spur, oklahoma. it is known from a single species, feeserpeton oklahomensis, which was named in 2012 on the basis of a nearly complete skull. "feeserpeton" is a member of the clade lanthanosuchoidea and is one of the earliest parareptiles. the only known skull of "feeserpeton" is small, but well-fused bones, deep pitting, and worn teeth indicate that the individual was close to maturity when it died. large eye sockets may indicate that "feeserpeton" was nocturnal. the skull is nearly complete, missing parts of the premaxilla (a bone at the tip of the snout) and the jugal (a bone making up the "cheek" region). a combination of features distinguish "feeserpeton" from other related parareptiles, including a triangular skull, large caniniform teeth in the upper and lower jaws, and postorbital bones behind the eye sockets that are much larger than the nearby squamosal bones. part of the palate is exposed on the right side of the skull, revealing many worn palatal teeth. the teeth in the mandible or lower jaw are hidden beneath the bones of the upper jaw, but ct scanning has revealed that there is a single tooth row on each side with mostly small teeth. two teeth are much larger than the rest, similar in size to the enlarged caniniforms of the upper jaw. the braincase is preserved at the back of the skull and includes the stapes, a bone rarely preserved in parareptile fossils. "feeserpeton" has a large opisthotic bone in its braincase, similar in size to that of another early permian parareptile called "acleistorhinus". the holotype skull of "feeserpeton", cataloged as omnh 73541, was found in the dolese brothers limestone quarry near the town of richard's spur, oklahoma. several other parareptiles have also been found from richard's spur, including "bolosaurus", "colobomycter", "delorhynchus", "microleter", and an acleistorhinid. omnh 73541 was preserved in a clay-rich nodule of calcite which was removed during preparation. ct scans of the skull revealed many internal details. the specimen was described as a new genus and species in 2012. the genus name "feeserpeton" honors mike feese, a manager of the dolese brothers quarry who was also a fossil collector, and the species name "oklahomensis" refers to oklahoma, the state in which it was found. "feeserpeton" was included in a phylogenetic analysis when it was first named in 2012. it nested within the clade lanthanosuchoidea, a poorly known group that includes the parareptiles "acleistorhinus" and "lanthanosuchus". "feeserpeton" was found to be a basal member of this group, the sister taxon of a clade including "acleistorhinus" and "lanthanosuchus". features that place "feeserpeton" within lanthanosuchoidea include a ridge on the frontal bone above the eye socket, a plate-like supraoccipital bone with a sagittal crest on the braincase, and a notch midway along the margin of the back of the skull. "feeserpeton" is the oldest member of the clade. below is a cladogram from the analysis showing the position of "feeserpeton": mudhar h.c (arabic: نادي مضر السعودي لكرة اليد, english: mudhar handball club) is a saudi arabian handball team based in al-qudaih, that plays in prince faisal bin fahad saudi handball league. diandongosuchus is an extinct genus of archosauriform reptile, possibly a member of the phytosauria, known from the middle triassic of china. the type species diandongosuchus fuyuanensis was named in 2012 from the falang formation of yunnan province. it is a marine species that shows similarities with another chinese triassic species called "qianosuchus mixtus", although it has fewer adaptations toward marine life. it was originally classified as the basal-most member of the pseudosuchian clade poposauroidea. however, a subsequent study conducted by stocker "et al." (2016, 2017) indicated it to be the basalmost known phytosaur instead. "diandongosuchus" is known from a nearly complete articulated skeleton (zmnh m8770) missing most of the tail. the total length of zmnh m8770 is and the estimated body length of the animal in life is around . the specimen is preserved on its right side, with the underside of the lower jaws and the trunk showing. it was prepared out of a limestone slab to reveal details on the left side of the skeleton, many of which are better preserved. the skull of "diandongosuchus" is pointed, with oval-shaped eye sockets, antorbital and temporal openings. distinctive features include a long premaxilla bone at the tip of the snout that extends backward past the nostril openings, a large ridge on the jugal bone that runs beneath the eye socket, and two supratemporal openings on the skull table that have prominent ridges surrounding them. the skull has similar proportions to that of "qianosuchus", and has the same number of teeth in the premaxilla. like the terrestrial poposauroid "poposaurus", "diandongosuchus" has a maxilla (upper jaw) bone that does not reach the border of the nostril opening. zmnh m8770 has 25 vertebrae in the back and neck, two sacral vertebrae (as in most triassic pseudosuchians), and seven of the forward-most tail vertebrae. the neck vertebrae are taller and narrower than they are in "qianosuchus". most of the back vertebrae are obscured by overlying ribs. at the back of the trunk near the hips are bones belonging to small vertebrates such as fish - likely the stomach contents of the individual. small overlapping osteoderms (bony scutes) overlay many of the vertebrae. two rows run along the neck, back, and tail with about two osteoderms overlaying each vertebra. small osteoderms also cover the limb bones. some features of the limbs, pelvic and pectoral girdles are also diagnostic in "diandongosuchus", including a thick ischium bone in the hip, an opening of the coracoid bone in the pectoral girdle that is much larger than those of other archosaurs and is closed by the end of the scapula, and a fourth metatarsal bone in the foot that is longer than the other metatarsals. the scapula of "diandongosuchus" is longer and narrower than that of "qianosuchus". the iliac blade of the hip is unusual in that it is narrow and projects far back from the rest of the hip. as in "qianosuchus", the femur of "diandongosuchus" is slightly twisted, but the fibula is thinner and more curved. the astragalus and calcaneum bones of the ankle fit together like a ball-and-socket, a feature that confirms "diandongosuchus" as a pseudosuchian. some of the phalanges or toe bones are missing in zmnh m8770, but the metatarsals are present and have unique proportions among triassic archosaurs in which the fourth is longer than the third. a phylogenetic analysis conducted by li "et al." (2012) in the original description of "diandongosuchus" showed that it was the most basal member of a clade called poposauroidea, which includes mostly terrestrial pseudosuchians such as the bipedal "poposaurus" and the sail-backed "arizonasaurus". it was found to be closely related to "qianosuchus", an aquatic pseudosuchian that was the second most basal member of poposauroidea. the data matrix of li "et al.", a list of characteristics that was used in the analysis, was based on that of nesbitt (2011), one of the most extensive on archosaurs. because of this, many of the relationships found by li "et al." are the same as those found by nesbitt. below is a cladogram from the analysis: however, more recent studies have found it to be a basal phytosaur. "diandongosuchus" was found in a ladinian-age marine limestone formation that has preserved many marine reptiles including thallatosaurs, nothosaurs, pistosaurs, and some protorosaurs. the closely related pseudosuchian "qianosuchus" was found in a marine deposit about northwest of the "diandongosuchus" locality that is slightly older (anisian in age) and possesses many features consistent with a marine lifestyle. however, "diandongosuchus" shows no features that are clear adaptations to a marine lifestyle. possible adaptations include nostrils that are positioned slightly farther back on the skull than most terrestrial pseudosuchians and a greater number of premaxillary teeth (a feature seen in possible semiaquatic archosaurs such as "chanaresuchus" and spinosaurids). fish bones within its stomach contents are additional evidence that it was a marine archosaur. "diandongosuchus" may have had a similar lifestyle to modern marine crocodylians like the saltwater crocodile that live along coastlines yet are not fully marine. the fossil assemblage in which "diandongosuchus" was found bears many similarities to that of european fossil localities such as monte san giorgio. both include marine reptiles like thallatosaurs and nothosaurs and probably represented environments along the northern shorelines of the tethys ocean. no marine archosaurs like "diandongosuchus" and "qianosuchus" are known from europe, although the pseudosuchian "ticinosuchus" from monte san giorgio was probably adapted to life along the shorelines of the tethys. in the analyses of li "et al." (2012) and nesbitt (2011), "ticinosuchus" is either the most basal member of a clade called loricata which is the sister taxon of poposauroidea, or the sister taxon of paracrocodylomorpha which includes both loricata and poposauroidea. although "ticinosuchus" and "diandongosuchus" were initially believed to have been very closely related basal paracrocodylomorphs, this hypothesis is invalidated if "diandongosuchus" is a phytosaur as other studies have shown. anningasaura is an extinct genus of basal plesiosaur. it is known from a single type species, a. lymense, discovered in early jurassic rocks of lyme regis in the united kingdom. "anningasaura" is known only from the holotype specimen nhmuk 49202, which consists of a complete skull, palate, and mandible, with eight associated cervical vertebrae, including the atlas-axis complex. the partial skeleton came from a juvenile plesiosaur. it was originally referred to ""plesiosaurus" macrocephalus" by charles william andrews in 1896, which is otherwise known only from the very young type specimen nhmuk or1336. nhmuk 49202 was collected at lyme regis, of dorset, from the hettangian to early sinemurian-aged beds of the lower lias group. nhmuk 49202 possesses plesiomorphic characters, including premaxillae that do not separate the frontals on the midline, narrow cranioquadrate passages and the lack of a constricting groove around the occipital condyle. it also shows several autapomorphies not observed in other plesiosaurians. its posteromedial processes of the premaxillae (or possible anterior portion of the frontal) forming a dorsoventrally thick, mediolaterally expanded platform and its cultriform process of the parasphenoid is wider mediolaterally than the combined posterior interpterygoid vacuities. it also has two closely spaced foramina in the lateral surface of the exoccipital. additional autapomorphies are the presence of supplementary foramen penetrating the parietal sagittal crest, the absence of a pterygoid-vomerine contact and the absence of a contact between the pterygoids in palatal aspect. a phylogenetic analysis performed by benson "et al." (2012) found it to be a basal, non-neoplesiosaurian, plesiosaur. the cladogram below shows "anningasaura" phylogenetic position among other plesiosaurs following benson "et al." (2012). "anningasaura" was first described and named by peggy vincent and roger b. j. benson in 2012 and the type species is "anningasaura lymense". the generic name honors mary anning, a british fossil collector who became known around the world for finds she made in the jurassic marine fossil beds at lyme regis in dorset. the specific name is derived from the name of the lyme regis locality where the only known specimen was collected. colonel charles fairlie dobbs cie cbe dso (1 july 1872 – 27 december 1936) was a british indian army officer. dobbs was the son of colonel a. f. dobbs, also of the indian army. he was educated at bedford school and then obtained a commission in a militia battalion, the 4th battalion, royal irish rifles, in january 1891. he resigned his commission in march 1891 to attend the royal military college, sandhurst, and was commissioned second lieutenant into the lancashire fusiliers in june 1892. in october 1894 he transferred to the indian army and joined the 95th russell's infantry (later 94th russell's infantry). he was promoted captain in july 1901. he served in aden from 1903 to 1904 and graduated from the indian staff college at quetta in 1908. he was appointed brigade major in may 1909, actually promoted major in june 1910, and from july 1911 to june 1913 served as a brigade staff officer. during the first world war, dobbs served in the east africa campaign as assistant quartermaster-general, for which he was mentioned in despatches three times, promoted temporary lieutenant-colonel in november 1915 and brevet lieutenant-colonel in january 1916, and awarded the distinguished service order (dso) in february 1917 and the russian order of st anna 3rd class. promoted substantive lieutenant-colonel in 1917, he took command of his regiment until 1921, commanding it with the bushire field force in persia in 1918–1919, for which he was again mentioned in despatches and appointed companion of the order of the indian empire (cie) in january 1920, in the third anglo-afghan war in 1919, for which he was mentioned for the fifth time and appointed commander of the order of the british empire (cbe) in august 1920, and in mesopotamia in 1920. in october 1919 he was given the temporary rank of brigadier-general. he retired with the rank of colonel in october 1921. dobbs married margaret eleanor jopp. they had one son and two daughters. ruut veenhoven (born 1942) is a dutch sociologist and a pioneer and world authority on the scientific study of happiness, in the sense of subjective enjoyment of life. his work on the social conditions for human happiness at erasmus university rotterdam in the netherlands, has contributed to a renewed interest in happiness as an aim for public policy. he has shown that happiness can be used a reliable measure to assess progress in societies which was one of the sources of inspiration for the united nations to adopt happiness measures as a holistic approach to development. veenhoven is the founding director of the world database of happiness and a founding editor of the "journal of happiness studies". he has been described as "the godfather of happiness studies", and "a leading authority on worldwide levels of happiness from country to country", whose work "earned him international acclaim". veenhoven was born in the hague in the netherlands in 1942. he graduated in 1962 from the nederlands lyceum in the hague and received a master's degree in sociology (specializing in public management) from erasmus university in rotterdam (1969). subsequently, he completed a phd in the social sciences also at erasmus, with a dissertation on "the condition of happiness". he was also registered as a social-sexologist (1994–2000). between 1970 and 1990 veenhoven was a leading advocate of abortion law reform and in promoting acceptance of voluntary childlessness in the netherlands. from 2001 until his retirement in 2007 he taught in rotterdam as professor of 'social conditions for human happiness', where he currently works in the erasmus happiness economics research organization (ehero). since 1985 he has been director of the world database of happiness at erasmus university rotterdam. from 1995 until 2002 he was extraordinary professor of humanism at the university of utrecht in the netherlands (piet thoenes chair). in 1984 veenhoven earned his doctorate on the dissertation ‘conditions of happiness’ that synthesized the results of 245 empirical studies on happiness. on that basis he developed the world database of happiness, which now covers 20,000 research findings taken from 3500 empirical investigations. veenhoven is mentioned in the top 5% of authors in his field (december 2012). the international society for quality of life studies (isqols) has awarded veenhoven several times: his main research subject is happiness in the sense of subjective enjoyment of life. worldwide he is seen as a pioneer in that field. neisseria subflava is a common inhabitant found in the human upper respiratory tract. it is a gram-negative diplococcus. it produces a positive result of blue when put through the oxidase test. it is considered non-pathogenic, although in rare case it can be the causative agent of postoperative meningitis (after a neurological surgery), which is called surgical site infection (ssi). margit nünke

the battalion was established in florida as part of the florida army national guard. changes to the regimental system in the late 1980s led to the superseding of the battalion by a regiment, itself part of the aviation brigade, 26th infantry division. the 126th's lineage includes that of the 122d aviation battalion due to consolidation. the battalion was originally organized and federally recognized on 18 november 1946 in the rhode island national guard at providence as the medical detachment, 43d division artillery. it was ordered into active federal service on 5 september 1950 at providence during the korean war. with the division, the detachment was deployed to germany to defend against a possible soviet attack. to replace the detachment at home stations, a national guard of the united states (ngus) unit with the same designation was organized and federally recognized on 2 december 1952. on 15 june 1954, the medical detachment was released from active federal service and reverted to state control, and federal recognition was withdrawn from the ngus unit. on 1 april 1959, it was converted and redesignated as the 43d aviation company, still part of the 43d division, and relocated to warwick. it was relieved from its assignment to the 43d division on 18 march 1963, just before the division was inactivated on 1 may. on 1 january 1965, the company became battery f of the 103d artillery, and was further redesignated as the 43d medical company on 1 march 1966. on 22 december 1967, the 43d cavalry, a parent regiment under the combat arms regimental system, was constituted in the rhode island army national guard. troop e was organized at warwick from the 43d medical company and federally recognized on 1 january 1968. troop e became troop d of the 26th cavalry's 1st squadron in the 26th infantry division on 1 may 1971. it was relocated to north kingstown on 1 june 1974. on 1 october 1986, it was expanded into the 122d aviation battalion and relieved from its assignment to the 26th division. the 126th aviation was constituted 1 october 1987 in the connecticut, massachusetts, and rhode island army national guard as a parent regiment under the united states army regimental system; concurrently organized from the 164th and 963rd aviation companies, the 1220th transportation company, and the 122d aviation battalion to consist of the 1st battalion and companies d, e, and f, elements of the 26th infantry division, and company g. in the mid-late 1980s the aviation brigade, 26th infantry division was reported to consist of: the 126th aviation regiment was reorganized 1 september 1990 in the connecticut, massachusetts, rhode island, and vermont army national guard to consist of the 1st and 2d battalions and company f, elements of the 26th infantry division, and company g. reorganized 1 september 1993 to consist of the 1st battalion, company f, and the 2d battalion, an element of the 42d infantry division. the 1st battalion,

specialist in the history of blacks and segregation, especially during the reconstruction era. "the crisis" cited him as a "painstaking scholar and authority on negro history". a teacher at tuskegee university in tuskegee, alabama and at the west virginia collegiate institute in west virginia, following a grant from the laura spelman rockefeller memorial fund, taylor began heavily researching the role of african americans in the south during reconstruction. he authored "the negro in south carolina during the reconstruction", "the negro in the reconstruction of virginia" and "the negro in tennessee, 1865-1880" in 1941. an idol (), in fandom culture in south korea, refers to a celebrity working in the field of k-pop, either as a member of a group or as a solo act. k-pop idols are characterized by the highly manufactured star system that they are produced by and debuted under, as well as their tendency to represent a hybridized convergence of visuals, music, fashion, dance, and music influenced by western culture. they usually work for a mainstream entertainment agency and have undergone extensive training in dance, vocals, and foreign language. idols maintain a carefully curated public image and social media presence, and dedicate significant time and resources to building relationships with fans through concerts and meetups. hundreds of candidates each day attend the global auditions held by korean entertainment agencies to perform for the chance of becoming a trainee. auditions include public auditions and closed auditions. others are street-cast or scouted without auditioning, based on looks or potential talent. those who successfully pass this audition stage are offered long-term contracts with the entertainment company. there are no age limits to becoming a trainee; thus is not uncommon for trainees, and even debuted idols, to be very young. the trainee process lasts for an indefinite period of time, ranging from months to years, and usually involves vocal, dance, and language classes taken while living together with other trainees, who sometimes attend school at the same time, although some trainees drop out of school to focus on their careers. the process may include "scouting, auditioning, training, styling, producing, and managing", and was developed around the creation of "h.o.t", a boyband of s.m. entertainment in late 1990s. trainees in the same company compete with each other, with some being eliminated from the coveted chance of settling in "the company-owned dormitories", and continue fighting for the chance to debut in new idol groups, while those who cannot show their company the potential to become an eligible idol artist are weeded out of the company. once a trainee enters the system, they are regulated in multiple aspects including personal life (for example, dating) to body conditions and visual appearances. the survival, and training and regulation take precedence over natural talent in the production of korean idols. the investment on a potential trainee could be expensive. in 2012, "the wall street journal" reported that the cost of training one member of girls' generation under s.m. entertainment was us$3 million. the k-pop trainee system was popularised by lee soo-man, the founder of s.m. entertainment, as part of a concept labelled cultural technology. as a unique process, the korean idol trainee system has been criticised by western media outlets. there are also negative connotations of idols within independent and underground korean music scenes. when trainees are finally chosen to debut in new groups, they will face a new setting of personalities created by the company to cater the entertainment market. each member of an idol group has his or her own character to play and therefore an important part of their job duties is to maintain that temperament in any kind of exposure they may get. one way to build personal image of idol groups is through social media services with contents taken care by the company to make sure the consistency of these personal characteristics. the relationship between korean idols and their fans can be characterized as "parasocial kin", which means to rather than simply admire or perfect korean idols, fans more often at the same time create a familial connection with their idols, in some cases even between fans themselves. the one who facilitate this kind of relationship could be production companies or community of fans through various ways such as social networks services, fan sites, offline meetings in occasions like concerts or fan meetings etc.. the nature of this "parasocial kin" relationship can be seen in the proactive participation of korean idol fans in production of idol groups. fans have their own unique ways to show their attitude and opinion on issues concerning "unfair" actions of management companies, and under this situation they more often appear to be protecting idols from exploitation of companies due to the familial connection built between both sides. several korean idol groups and solo artists have resented the contracts issued to them by their management companies, claiming that the decade-long contracts are "too long, too restrictive, and gave them almost none of the profits from their success". a director of south korean entertainment agency dsp media stated that the company does share profit with the performers, but often little is left over after paying costs. korean entertainment companies such as s.m entertainment have been called "factories" for their unique method of mass-producing stars. members of groups are frequently retired and replaced with fresh trainees when their age or musical inclinations begin to pose a problem. tvxq charged s.m. entertainment for unreasonable terms in their contracts with the company in 2009. entertainment companies in korea use a boot-camp system in grooming their idols. in the case of s.m. entertainment, the company receives 300,000 applicants in nine countries every year. they possess training facilities in the gangnam district of seoul, where recruits then train for years in anticipation of their debut. sm was called the first company to market "bands as brands", and commodify not just the artists' product, but the artist(s) themselves. such techniques have resulted in mass recognition abroad and helped to spark the korean wave, which benefits entertainment companies by broadening their audience. as domestic fandom is not generally enough to produce the profits that these corporations and their players require, branding and marketing of the artist/group has become central to industry profits and thus a defining feature of the genre today. according to the south korean national tax service, the average annual earnings for a korean idol in 2013 were kr₩46.74 million (us$42,000). this was almost double the 2010 figure of kr₩26.97 million (us$25,275), a rise attributable to the global spread of "hallyu" in recent years. some of the highest-earning korean idols, for example g-dragon, receive multimillion-dollar annual incomes in album and concert sales. on june 25, 2015, sbs's "midnight tv entertainment" revealed that g-dragon earned an annual kr₩790 million (us$710,000) from songwriting royalties alone. idols can also earn revenues from endorsements, merchandise, corporate sponsorship deals and commercials. according to "the korea herald", once a k-pop music video attracts more than a million views, it will "generate a meaningful revenue big enough to dole out profits to members of a k-pop group." the korean wave has led to a global rise in interest in korean idols, along with other aspects of korean culture including korean films and k-dramas being exported to other parts of the globe. some idols have experienced extreme invasions of privacy from obsessive "fans" as a result of their career in the public eye. alleged invasions of idols' private lives include stalking, hidden cameras in idols' dorms, fans attending personal events such as relatives' weddings, and physical assault. there have been criticisms on the sexual objectification of female and male idols across the industry. the problem is exacerbated due to the higher rigidity of gender norms in contemporary korean society. korean idols are frequently depicted in music videos wearing revealing clothes and dancing provocatively, as part of the companies' effort to market idols in multiple ways. erotokritos damarlis (; born on 13 may 1992 in thessaloniki, greece), is a midfielder currently playing in the football league for agrotikos asteras. he started his career in youth teams of aris

administered by the municipalities of borovnica, brezovica, ljubljana, ig, log-dragomer, škofljica and vrhnika. the ljubljana marshes is a place of great biodiversity. since 2008, the major part of the ljubljana marshes, covering an area of , has been protected as a landscape park. the most preserved parts had been already before protected as nature reserves and as natural monuments. the ljubljana marsh was inhabited in prehistoric times, when it was a shallow lake. prehistoric pile dwellings and the oldest wooden wheel in the world are among the most notable archeological findings from the marshland. since 2011, the area of pile dwellings near ig has been protected as a unesco world heritage site. the first road through the marsh, connecting ljubljana to studenec (now ig), was begun in 1825 and completed in 1827. the work was carried out under mayor johann nepomuk hradeczky (1775–1846) and the provincial governor, baron joseph camillo von schmidburg (1779–1846). emperor francis i of austria and empress caroline augusta of bavaria inspected the road in 1830, and a monument was erected to the achievement in 1833. the marshland includes a number of hamlets that belong to the city of ljubljana: ilovica, volar, pri strahu, pri maranzu, kožuh, and havptmance (from north to south). ilovica was settled relatively late, starting in 1838, and had only six farms by 1860. volar lies between the iščica and ljubljanica rivers and was settled after 1830, when it was also officially designated "karolinska zemlja" (), literally 'caroline's land', in honor of caroline augusta of bavaria. kožuh lies further south, and havptmance east of kožuh. havptmance was already mentioned as a place in the 18th century and was settled in the 1870s, when peat extraction was a major economic activity. the name "havptmance" probably refers to the fact that the provincial governor () had his hunting grounds in the area. the ljubljana marshes is very popular among balloonists. on 23 august 2012, a pilot without a valid pilot certificate caused the 2012 balloon crash which occurred on the ljubljana marshes, with several people dead and a number of passengers severely burned and injured. new, stricter protocol for pilots was introduced by the authorities to make balloon trips safe. blas r. jiménez (aug 2, 1949 - nov 13, 2009) was a dominican black nationalist, poet and essayist of african descent. his poetry and essays appeared in specialized journals in the dominican republic, puerto rico, the united states of america, costa rica, brazil, colombia, and uruguay. he is considered to have been "foremost among those poets claiming an african identity contrary to ethnic classification norms in the dominican republic." blas married dulce maría guzmán in the late seventies with whom he had three children: iván, isis and alan. he was survived also by his brothers, rafael and jose, his sisters eulalia, dulce, and nancy, and his father blas rafael jiménez sr.

his life to promoting the value of african heritage in dominican culture, and published multiple poetry compilations including "versos del negro blas". he spent a number of years in the united states and was once involved in a dispute with a passport official at customs and immigrations in santo domingo who told him to write "dark indian" as his race and blas refused and insisted that he was black. blas r. jiménez struck a mayor blow against invisibility by asking questions about black and national identity. he did not hesitate to proclaim his own black identity, and took as his mission the task of forcing others to do the same. he was probably one of the first writers to utilize his lyrical literary voice to proclaim and african identity and to expose the polemics of ethnic classification in the dominican republic. professor jiménez was the 1998 winner of the ethel l. payne international award for excellence in journalism - individual journalist - the african diaspora.

do desembargador was lisbon's main field for playing football. it had no fences and bystanders can freely enter the field and disrupt match. when a ball was lost to outside the field it was difficult to recover it because of the open spaces. inconveniently it was also shared with the portuguese army who used it as an exercise field, so it would often be completely destroyed after a set of exercises. it was in this field that a group a friends after a match decided to create sport lisboa. 6 friendlies were played, sport lisboa won 5, lost 1, scored 13 goals and conceded 2. benfica left

been repeated since from any team after being promoted to the eredivisie. dws then reached the quarter finals of the 1964–65 european cup, in the next season. their 1964 triumph is the most recent occasion of a club without a predominantly red and white home strip (unlike recent contenders ajax, az, feyenoord, psv and twente) winning the eredivisie title, a drought of 55 years. in 1972 the club merged with blauw-wit amsterdam and volewijckers to form fc amsterdam. dws continued as an amateur club, which still exists today. they celebrated their 100 year jubilee in 2007. wang chen (died 266 ce), courtesy name chudao, was an official and historian of the state of cao wei during the three kingdoms period of china. after the wei regime ended in 265, he continued serving in the government of the jin dynasty (265–420). he wrote a five-volume text known as the "wang chudao collection" (王處道集) or "wang chen collection" (王沈集), which is already lost over the course of history. he also wrote 14 chapters of the "quan jin wen" (全晉文). wang chen was from jinyang county (晉陽縣), taiyuan commandery (太原郡), which is located southwest of present-day taiyuan, shanxi. his father wang ji (王機) died early so he was raised by his uncle, wang chang, who served as the minister of works (司空) in the wei government. he was known for his literary talent and was employed by the regent cao shuang as a secretary. he was promoted to the position of a gentleman attendant (侍郎) later. in 249, after cao shuang was ousted from power by sima yi, his co-regent, wang chen initially lost his appointment but was later restored to the civil service as a palace attendant (侍中). he co-wrote the 44-volume historical text "book of wei" (魏書) with xun yi and ruan ji. the wei emperor cao mao, who was fond of reading, called wang chen a "master of literature" (文籍先生). in 260, when cao mao planned to launch a coup to seize back power from the regent sima zhao, he summoned wang chen, wang ye and wang jing to meet him in private and discuss their plans. however, wang chen and wang ye reported the plot to sima zhao instead, and cao mao ended up being assassinated by sima zhao's men. after cao mao's death, sima zhao awarded wang chen the title "marquis of anping" (安平侯) and 2,000 taxable households in his marquisate. in 266, after sima yan (emperor wu), sima zhao's son, ended the state of wei and

freight locomotives designed and manufactured in the united states by motivepower in boise, idaho, for western australian grain growers' co-operative cbh group. the cbh class was ordered to haul grain trains on the open access rail network in the south of western australia. the trains, operated for cbh by watco wa rail under a long-term contract, link various cbh grain collection points in the wheatbelt with cbh terminal and port facilities in albany, geraldton and kwinana. the 25 members of the cbh class are divided into three sub-classes, based on differences in power output, traction motors and rail gauge. in early 2010, cbh group called tenders for the first time for the transport of grain by rail. cbh's decision to go to tender was influenced by greater competition. an aim of the tender process was the development of a new and long-term arrangement for above-rail operations that would deliver a more efficient, effective grain transport and logistics service to cbh's grower members and their customers. prior to releasing the tender documents, cbh carried out extensive preliminary work to identify potential rail providers around the world, and to ensure the terms of its proposed new long term partnership would provide all parties with both the flexibility and certainty to make the necessary investment. tenders closed in june 2010 with bids lodged by rail operators from australia and around the world including asciano and the incumbent australian railroad group. in december 2010 cbh awarded a long-term grain rail contract to watco wa rail. cbh also announced that it planned to invest up to $175 million in rolling stock as part of its decision to enter into the contract. the 10-year agreement between cbh and watco commenced in march 2012, and involves watco's providing a comprehensive rail logistics planning service including train planning and scheduling, tracking, maintenance, inventory control and crew management. watco operate and maintain the 22 locomotives and 574 wagons acquired by cbh. in april 2011, cbh contracted motivepower to build 22 cbh class locomotives, with the first to be delivered in march 2012. according to cbh operations general manager, colin tutt, ""having new equipment with more horsepower [would] enable [cbh] to optimise train lengths and journey times, and transport more grain to port by rail."" six companies from around the world lodged bids to manufacture the cbh class. cbh concluded that motivepower's proposed locomotives would be the best option for the task of moving grain on western australian rail lines, as well as having good fuel economy. as australia's railways have different regulations from those of the usa, the cbh class locomotives would be of an entirely new design. motivepower's contract with cbh for the supply of those locomotives was the first of what motivepower hoped would be many international contracts. as compensation for late delivery of the original locomotives, cbh received a further three narrow gauge locomotives in early 2015. all members of the cbh class are hood unit locomotives with a single cab at one end, and ride on three axle bogies (trucks) of c-c (c'c') wheel arrangement. each is equipped with a cummins qsk series prime mover. the engine blocks for the prime movers were cast in germany and sent to the cummins engine plant in daventry, england, for final machining and assembly. at the end of the manufacturing process, the prime movers were hot tested before being fitted to the locomotives in boise. the engines meet us tier three emission standards. cbh class locomotives also have dynamic brakes and the control equipment necessary for "top and tail" distributed power operation. trains with a cbh class locomotive at each end are easier to load and unload than a conventionally hauled train, and thus more time efficient. the first eleven cbh class locomotives from batch 1 and the three locomotives from batch 2, road numbers cbh001 to cbh011 and cbh023 to cbh025, are designated as type mp27cn (27 means 2,700 hp, c means three driven axles per bogie, and n means narrow gauge). these units are equipped with a cummins v-16 qsk60 prime mover rated at , and ride on narrow gauge bogies fitted with six ge 761 traction motors. the next six units in the cbh class are designated as type mp33cn, with road numbers cbh012 to cbh017. they have a more powerful cummins v-18 qsk78 prime mover rated at , but are otherwise identical to the mp27cns. the final five cbh class units are designated as type mp33c, and have road numbers cbh118 to cbh122. they are equipped with the same cummins v-18 qsk78 prime mover as the mp33cn, but ride on (standard gauge) bogies fitted with emd d78 traction motors. all members of the cbh class are liveried in a cbh group two-tone mid blue / light blue design. numbering is in mid blue, striping and lettering is in white, and the solebars and handrails are picked out in white. underframes are painted black, with black and white safety stripes on the headstocks and access steps picked out in yellow. in june/july 2011, cbh held a competition for grain growers to nominate ""iconic western australian"" names for the cbh class locomotives. according to the media release announcing the competition, the locomotives would be growers' locomotives, and cbh wanted to give them the opportunity of being a part of what cbh described as an historic moment. around 350 entries were submitted; more than cbh ever expected. the entries covered a broad spectrum of topics, including political figures, sporting legends, cbh and the grains industry history, flora, fauna, tourist locations and indigenous culture. however, a central theme was names taken from old rail sidings from around western australia. the winning names were "yilliminning" entered by andrew borthwick; "mooterdine" entered by kelvin price; and "baandee" entered by mark smith. announcing the winning names, cbh operations general manager, colin tutt, said, ""we selected three grower entries and two cbh staff member entries from the submissions, the remainder of the fleet were named to fit the theme. many of these old rail sidings are now abandoned; nevertheless they are an important part of the early rail expansion in wa."" the first two members of the cbh class, cbh001 "yilliminning" and cbh002 "mooterdine", entered service in mid-june 2012, shortly after arriving separately at fremantle on their seven-week delivery journeys from the east coast of the usa. their initial task was to take a 60 wagon train to hyden for loading. the class was officially launched at a ceremony at the cbh metro grain centre in forrestfield on 24 august 2012. by january 2013, all of the initial order of 22 cbh class locomotives had entered service, as follows: cannock chase coalfield is a coalfield in staffordshire, england, lying directly under cannock chase. it forms a rough triangle between brereton, essington and pelsall. the cannock chase coalfield lies just to the north of the south staffordshire coalfield, from which it is separated by the bentley fault. the seams under cannock chase are much deeper than those in south staffordshire, being around near rugeley, compared to around in south staffordshire. by 1890, the coalfield was producing 3 million tons of coal per year, and by 1933 this had risen to over 5 million tons. the last working coal mine beneath cannock chase, littleton colliery, was situated two miles north of cannock in the village of huntington on the a34 and closed on 3 december 1993. some of the coal from the mine was taken to power the nearby rugeley power station. ismo uskali mäki (born 8 february 1951 helsinki) is a finnish professor in the department of

north coast of peru. most of the work that the organization carries out is done in el porvenir, an impoverished district of trujillo. skip states that their vision is “a peru where each child realizes his/her full potential through quality education, economically stable families and healthy home environments.” the organization promotes quality education and fosters the capacity of children and families to be the principal agents of change in their own lives. the organization works with families through programs focusing on the educational, economic, emotional and social development of each child and the parents. in 2016 the annual income for skip was 118,266 british pounds. see the skip annual report for 2016. skip is made up of a team of volunteers from all over the world who work in departments focusing on education and on family welfare. skip believes in the global community's responsibility to promote universal quality education and eradicate poverty. skip's international volunteer program forges links between el porvenir and other countries, providing opportunities for international volunteers to see and understand the effects of poverty, while at the same time opening 'windows to the world' for peruvians and fostering a sense of community and responsibility among all. according to the authors of the article “strategies to avoid the loss of developmental potential in more than 200 million children in the developing world”, "the most effective early child development programs provide direct learning experiences to children and families, are targeted toward younger and disadvantaged children, are of longer duration, high quality, and high intensity, and are integrated with family support, health, nutrition, or educational systems and services." skip's educational and family support programs fit directly within this framework and skip's continually improving results can be attributed to the organization's commitment to working within this framework of a development program of long duration and high intensity. children of low income families are a particularly vulnerable population in peru. 27% of all school age children in peru are not enrolled in school. additionally, peru spends only 3.3% of its gdp on education compared to the latin american average of 4.5%. skip's education program aims to fill the gaps that exist in the public education system for students beginning at an early age. the world bank recognizes that “one of the principal challenges in reducing poverty and accelerating development in peru is improving the quality of education.” skip understands the complex factors and consequences of poverty, and has therefore developed a range of programs employing a holistic approach. these focus on four pillars of family development: education, economic stability, emotional well-being, and healthy and safe home environments. skip has also worked towards the achievement of the 2nd and 3rd millennium goals proposed by the un, that by 2015, children everywhere would be able to complete a full course of primary schooling, and to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education in all levels of education no later than 2015. skip places a high importance on participation of families and children in their programs and views high rates of participation as key to their holistic approach. their rates of attendance increased from around 15 percent in 2008 to 83 percent in 2011. skip's education program focuses on primary and secondary students and provides academic support in the form of maths, communication and english classes as well as workshops in other areas such as art and sport. there are about 300 students between the ages of four and eighteen currently enrolled in skip's education program. skip states that their approach involves a kinesthetic and dynamic teaching style to help relate concepts to their everyday lives, as well as a social and emotional learning program to help children have the skills and confidence to work through difficulties. skip's focus on education is fostered by the holistic work within the welfare programs, which include the whole family unit. the parents are the ones ultimately responsible for the upbringing of the children, and so skip recognizes the importance of working with them in the areas of economic development, social work, and psychology. “poverty and associated health, nutrition, and social factors prevent at least 200 million children in developing countries from attaining their developmental potential." skip's family welfare programs have the overarching goal of avoiding these risk factors that are directly related to poverty. the economic development team works with families in the form of microcredit loans and production workshops that serve as a form of secondary income for the families. in 2011, the microcredit program has seen a repayment rate of 99%. skip social workers provide workshops aimed at improving the social abilities of the parents and the psychology departments work with both children and parents in order to improve the families' emotional well-being. carmen elena figueroa rodríguez

indika (2011) chen chieh-ju (; born 25 november 1937) is a taiwanese politician. chen attended primary and secondary school in his native taichung and later studied at national cheng kung university. chen served three terms on the taichung county council before running for a seat on the legislative yuan in 1992. he won reelection in 1995 and 1998. he joined the non-partisan solidarity union in 2004 as the newly founded political party's secretary-general. chen supported ma ying-jeou in the 2012 presidential election. the hyrax hill site was proclaimed a national monument in 1945 and opened to the public in 1965. this was as a result of startling discoveries of relics by mrs. selfe and subsequent archaeological excavations that were carried out by dr. mary leakey in 1938 that revealed substantial findings in different areas of the site and levels of occupations. the late mrs. selfe was the owner of the property. the renovation of archaeology exhibit was made possible through the kind sponsorship of kenya museum society and consultation of british institute in eastern africa in collaboration with the national museums of kenya. the hill comprises particular importance due to the fact that it encompasses several phases of occupation; it also has a long history of archaeological investigation, which began in 1937 with mary leakey. in 1937 dr. mary leakey excavated site i, and she discovered evidence of late iron age habitation consisting of a series of rough stone enclosures, and a number of burials. this material according to sutton belongs to the late iron age and is probably around 200 yrs old (sutton, 1987). during the 1937 excavation, leakey also discovered a much older occupation layer, dating to the late stone age. several burials were uncovered; this area is today referred to as the "neolithic mass grave" on signage at the museum. dr. mary leakey in 1938 excavated site ii and erroneously associated the sirikwa occupation layers with the pre-iron age material on site i and at the nakuru burial site.
in 1943 the unexcavated portions of the site were recognised as important archaeological resources, and the site was gazetted as a national monument on 26 november 1945. in 1965 more excavations were carried by ron clarke on site ii, and the southern burial site i. after these excavations, a small museum was established in the farm house which was previously owned by mrs. a. selfe. dr. onyango abunje in 1973–74 excavated the area adjacent to site i, and he discovered mainly late iron age materials, which included two iron age pits and burial mounded. in 1986, dr. john sutton re-investigated site ii and during this time, the investigation revealed three sirikwa houses. dr. sutton concluded by proposing that site ii is indeed not related to site ii and is iron age dating to middle centuries of the second millennium. hyrax hill is a regional museum under the management of national museums of kenya headed by dr mzalendo as its director general. hyrax hill is currently run by 12 members of staff and headed by the curator as the chief accounting officer. ms. lilian amwanda is the curator hyrax hill museum. the building was formerly a farm house constructed in about 1900–1910 and ceded to the national museum of kenya in 1965 by the owner, the late mrs. selfe. the building is rectangular in plan with a veranda along the south façade. it is entered through a 4.8 m wide straight stairway of 5 steps onto a veranda, and then into the main gallery through a protruding porch that forms part of the central space of the building. inside, this building is divided into three chambers/galleries, the central being the largest. at the back, the building is abutted by two chambers which are used as the curator's and education offices respectively. the museum has one gallery divided into three chambers; west, east and the central being the largest. the west chamber displays ethnographic materials. the central chamber displays archaeology of the site; at the center of the gallery there is a model showing the entire site. the east chamber displays natural history objects. hyrax hill is small but a prominent rocky lava ridge measuring about 500 meters in length and rising to 50 meters above the surrounding plain. the hill owes its name to the numerous hyraxes that used to live in the rock openings. a number of archaeological features ranging in date from possibly 5000 years ago to only 200 years ago have been found on this hill. the oldest is the area of neolithic occupation with burials on site i. there is also recent iron age activity on site i and earlier iron age activity on site ii. interest in the archaeology of this area began in the 1920s with the discovery by a farmer of ancient burials with stone bowls hidden under rocks on the side of small hill to the north east. louis leakey investigated these ancient burials and reported that they belong to an early pastoralist community which he called 'neolithic '. at the same time he noticed other archaeological features on both sides of hyrax hill, and in 1937 encouraged his wife, mary, to investigate these. hyrax hill has been central to the development of archaeological research in kenya for over seventy years. together with other sites in the region, it has helped our understanding of the transition from a hunting and gathering way of life to greater dependence on food production, especially pastoral activities in these high grasslands. among the 400 objects and works of art exhibited, visitors can admire carved masks, wood statues and other objects made by the musas between 1970 and 2000. there are other objects collected from the grass-fields, such as traditional musical instruments, hunting gadgets, metal works, bamboo objects and pottery. temporary exhibitions are also sometimes proposed. the 1997 star world championships were held in marblehead, united states between september 3 and 14, 1997. dabiq ( ) is a town in northern syria, about northeast of aleppo and around south of syria's border with turkey. it is administratively part of the akhtarin "nahiyah" (subdistrict) of the a'zaz district of aleppo governorate. nearby localities include mare' to the southwest, sawran to the northwest, and akhtarin town to the southeast. in the 2004 census, dabiq had a population of 3,364. the town was the site of the battle of marj dabiq in 1516, in which the ottoman empire decisively defeated the mamluk sultanate. in islamic eschatology, it is believed that dabiq is one of two possible locations (the other is amaq) for an epic battle between invading christians and the defending muslims which will result in a muslim victory and mark the beginning of the end of times. the islamic state believes dabiq is where an epic and decisive battle will take place with christian forces of the west, and have named their online magazine after the village. after being driven out of the town of dabiq by the turkish military and syrian rebels in october 2016, isil/is/daesh replaced this publication with a new one named "rumiyah". during caliph sulayman's reign (715–717), dabiq, near the arab–byzantine frontier, succeeded jabiyah's role as the main military camp in syria. dabiq was visited by syrian geographer yaqut al-hamawi in the early 13th-century, during ayyubid rule. he noted that it was "a village of the 'azaz district lying 4 leagues from halab (aleppo). near it is a green and pleasant meadow, where the omayyad troops encamped, when they made the celebrated expedition against al massissah, which was to have been continued even to the walls of constantinople. the tomb of caliph sulayman ibn abd al-malik, who led the expedition, lies here." in august 2014 the islamic state (isil) conquered the town, destroying the sulayman ibn abd al-malik shrine. on 16 october 2016, turkish-backed free syrian army rebels captured the town from isil. in islamic eschatology as found in the hadith, the area of dabiq is mentioned as a place of some of the events of the muslim malahim (which would equate to the christian apocalypse, or armageddon). abu hurayrah, companion to muhammad, reported in his hadith that muhammad said: scholars and hadith commentators suggest that the word "romans" refers to christians. the hadith further relates the subsequent muslim victory, followed by the peaceful takeover of constantinople with invocations of takbir and tasbih, and finally the defeat of the masih ad-dajjal following the return and descent of jesus christ. eppadi manasukkul vanthai (english: "how did you come in my mind?") is a 2012 tamil romantic thriller film directed by p. v. prasath, starring vishva, irfaan, tanvi vyas. the film released on 10 august 2012 with mixed reviews. soundtrack was composed by a. j. daniel. in the review of the film for "new indian express", malini mannath wrote: "with a taut screenplay and well fleshed out characters, director prasad (of kadhalil vizhundhen) has managed to keep his narrative engaging and fast paced. he has co-ordinated the work of his technical crew ably. it’s an impressive cast of actors who lend credibility and conviction to their characters." "nowrunning" wrote "eppadi manasukkul vandhai has an average masala story that is given superior treatment by an above-average kollywood director. it then becomes a gripping crime thriller that is steered into the masala format, from time to time, for purposes of accessibility." the reviewer also noted similarities between the film and "the talented mr. ripley" (1999). "sify" wrote "the films packaging is what catches our eye with great camera work, rich locations and hummable tunes but sadly lacks a cohesive script and drags big time especially the long drawn out climax." "behindwoods" wrote "eppadi manasukkul vandhai has traces of kadhalil vizhundhen but it’s not the same love story. it has its heart in its place and the fact that prasad has peppered it with enough plot twists and turns makes it worth a watch. it’s an engagingly shot, albeit not brilliantly performed, movie that might provide good time pass." "the hindu" wrote "emv doesn’t hold the viewer’s attention completely, mainly because prasath has allowed ample space for avoidable elements." tarantinaea is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family fasciolariidae, the spindle snails, the tulip snails and their allies. species within the genus "tarantinaea" include: james irwin billmyer (born 1897) was an american modern painter and illustrator. james billmyer was born in union bridge, maryland and received his ba from western maryland college. he continued his studies at the national academy of design, beaux arts, the art students’ league, cooper union, maryland institute, baltimore charcoal club, and baltimore grand central school of art. some of his influential teachers included john sloan, george luks, frank vincent dumond, george bridgeman, william de leftwüch dodge, dean cornwell, and harvey dunn. billnyer was involved with the commercial art of periodicals and advertising, working as an illustrator for magazines such as “cosmopolitan”, “family circle”, “house and garden”, “ladies home journal”, “parents magazine”, and collier’s "good housekeeping”. in 1931, he became a member of the american society of illustrators. billmyer travelled extensively in latin and central america, canada, the near east, and europe, exploring the history and cultures of these locations, which ultimately impacts his work. in the 1950s and 1960s, he was a part of the 10th street galleries scene. for twelve years, he studied plastics under the tutelage of hans hofmann in new york and provincetown. hofmann showed him the importance of objects moved out from the canvas and resolved back into it. this type of painting that deals with multiple rhythms, colors, and angles, offers viewers a higher-dimensional experience. billmyer has created patterns in and out of divided planes that go in independent directions before receding back into the canvas, which is his unique adaption of hofmann’s methods. many of his patterns and forms appear in the film “the hypercube: projections and slicing.” billmyer has taught and lectured at the new york school of interior design, the hudson river school, spellman college, miami art center, the naskeay school, maine, and his own new york school. sirel is an estonian language surname meaning "lilac" and may refer to: townsendia rothrockii is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common name rothrock's townsend daisy. it is endemic to colorado in the united states, where there are 35 occurrences across thirteen counties. reports of the plant from new mexico are false. this plant is a small perennial herb forming a dense rosette of thick leaves up to 3.5 centimeters long. it grows from a taproot and caudex. the flower heads are cup-shaped and up to 2.8 centimeters wide. the ray florets are blue to lilac in color and measure up to 1.6 centimeters in length. the center of the head contains yellow disc florets. this plant grows in high-elevation habitat in the mountains of southwestern colorado. it can be found in a number of habitat types in montane, subalpine and alpine climates, including fellfields, talus, meadows, ridges, passes, rock outcrops, and disturbed areas. species associated with the plant include "abies lasiocarpa", "agrostis thurberiana", "anemone multifida", "draba nivalis" var.

also known as sar chekān and sar chūnos khān) is a village in zardalan rural district, helilan district, chardavol county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its existence was noted, but its population was not reported. the wágluȟe band is one of the seven bands of the oglala lakota. the wágluȟe band is also known as the loafer band. the lakota word wágluȟe means "one who lives with his relatives (as a hanger-on)" and was used to refer to those who stayed near military forts, their daughters having married soldiers. the seven bands of the oglala lakota are the wágluȟe (loafers), ite sica (bad face), oyukpe (broken off), wazaza (shred into strips), tapisleca (split liver), payabaya (shove aside) and kiyaksa (little wound). old chief smoke was an oglala lakota head chief and one of the last great shirt wearers, a highly prestigious lakota warrior society. the smoke people were one of the most prominent lakota families of the 18th and 19th centuries. old chief smoke was one of the first lakota chiefs to appreciate the power of the whites and the need for association. in 1849, old chief smoke moved his wágluȟe camp to ft. laramie, wyoming when the u.s. army first garrisoned the old trading post to protect and supply wagon trains of white migrants along the oregon trail. lakota families from other camps who preferred the safety of ft. laramie joined smoke's camp. old chief smoke was aware of the power of the whites, their overwhelming numbers and the futility of war. old chief smoke observed and learned the customs of the whites. by the late 1850s, some lakota from the wild buffalo-hunting camps began to disparage old chief smoke's camp at ft. laramie and call old chief smoke's community wágluȟe (loafers), meaning they were like men who lived with their wives' relatives, that is, hangers-on, loafers. on the other hand, some wagluhe thought of the wild lakota as county bumpkins. during the increasing strife of the 1860s, the ft. laramie took on a military posture and was the primary staging ground for the u.s. army during red cloud's war. in 1864, old chief smoke died and was placed on a scaffold near sight of his beloved ft. laramie and replaced by chief big mouth. the wágluȟe were aware of the power of the whites, their overwhelming numbers and the futility of war. traditionally, in intertribal warfare, a fight among fifty warriors in which two men were killed was considered a big fight. the wágluȟe at ft. laramie, wyoming, heard of the 50,000 casualties of the three-day battle at gettysburg in july 1863, and knew what white men meant when they spoke of battle. the wágluȟe observed and learned the customs of the whites. wágluȟe were considered by the u.s. army and indian agents to be the most progressive band of lakota and many became indian police, u.s. army indian scouts with the u.s. 4th cavalry regiment from ft. laramie, wyoming and intermediaries with other bands of lakotas. the wágluȟe formed a civil administration at ft. laramie, and old chief smoke appointed chief blue horse and chief big mouth the first indian police officers. the wágluȟe were the first oglala lakota to send their children to the carlisle indian industrial school in carlisle, pennsylvania, for a formal education. wágluȟe u.s. army indian scouts were a "band of brothers" with u.s. army cavalry scouts and later were the first oglala lakota to travel with col. william frederick "buffalo bill" cody and his wild west throughout the u.s. and europe. wágluȟe from the great plains wars chose to offer their services to colonel "buffalo bill" cody and appreciated that wild west shows preserved oglala lakota heritage during a time when the bureau of indian affairs was intent on promoting native assimilation. chief big mouth was the elder son and became head chief in 1864 upon the death of old chief smoke. big mouth opposed chief spotted tail's leadership and criticized his negotiations with washington politicians. on october 29, 1869, spotted tail called at the door of big mouth's lodge, and asked to speak with him. on his appearance, he was seized by two warriors, who held him fast, while spotted tail drew a pistol, placed it against his body, and shot chief big mouth dead. captain dewitt c. poole at the whetstone indian agency reported chief blue horse's shock and anger to chief big mouth's murder. "blue horse started a violent harangue in the sioux language. he had a rifle in one hand and a strung bow and a bunch of arrows in the other, and when he dropped his blanket, two navy colts and a big scalping knife could be seen in their sheaths at his belt. he was in a raving fury, leaping and bounding about the room as he hurled accusations and threats at chief spotted tail. chief big mouth died toward dawn. some hours later, blue horse came to agent poole's office and told he that he felt so sad over the death of his great and good brother that he would have to wash off the paint he had put on his face for the feast the day before and begin mourning. the interpreter warned poole that if this indian washed his face and started mourning, it would mean the reopening of the feud and more shootings. the agent would give blue horse two blankets, that would comfort him, and he would refrain from washing his face and going gunning for spotted tail. the blankets were handed over, and the grieving brother went quietly away." poole later reported that chief spotted tail made a prompt payment of a stipulated number of ponies to blue horse and that aboriginal law had been vindicated. chief blue horse was pressed to avenge the murder of chief big mouth, but chose the path of non-violence and instead moved with his wágluȟe band to another locality. chief red cloud was also aggrieved by his brother's murder. nonetheless, chief red cloud continued to work with chief spotted tail in delegations to washington, d.c. to protect tribal lands, enforce broken treaties and preserve lakota heritage. some wágluȟe went north to the powder river country fight in red cloud's war and became closely tied to militant minneconjou, sans arc and hunkpappa. other wágluȟe supplied food and munitions to chief red cloud. all wágluȟe respected chief red cloud. the u.s. army concluded that, even if there were doubts about their reliability, the wágluȟe's role as scouts, civil administrators and mediators was absolutely essential. after the battle of little big horn and the arrest of chief blue horse in 1876, the wágluȟe split into three bands. blue horse remained head chief of one band, and rising young leaders american horse and three bears led the other two. red shirt was also a popular leader and served as three bears' lieutenant. these leaders had much in common. blue horse, american horse, three bears and red shirt all served as u.s. army indian scouts with the u.s. 4th cavalry regiment from ft. laramie, wyoming, led lakota delegations to washington, d.c., their children attended the first class at the carlisle indian industrial school in carlisle, pennsylvania and all joined with buffalo bill's wild west. red cloud was recognized as a leader of the wágluȟe and the ite sica. in 1860, lieutenant henry e. maynadier, who later became the commandant at fort laramie, recognized red cloud as one of old chief smoke's sons, a wagluhe. yet, in reality, whenever the oglalas were seriously threatened, red cloud would become the "de facto" chief of the ite sica (bad faces). in 1890, native american historian charles alexander eastman recorded his first meeting with chief blue horse at pine ridge agency, south dakota. eastman reported chief blue horse was his "first caller" at the pine ridge agency and chief "emeritus" of the wágluȟe band. "he softly opened the door and stepped in without knocking, in characteristic indian fashion. after greeting me in sioux, he promptly produced his credentials, which consisted of well-worn papers that had been given him by various high military officers, from general william selby harney to general george crook, and were dated 1854 to 1877. the old man wanted nothing so much as an audience, and the tales of his exploits served to pass the evening." eastman recorded that "blue horse had been, as he claimed, a friend to the white man, for he was one of the first sioux u.s. army indian scouts, and also one of the first to cross the ocean with buffalo bill." wágluȟe u.s. army indian scouts from the pine ridge agency, south dakota, were the first oglala lakota to travel with col. william frederick "buffalo bill" cody and his wild west throughout the u.s. and europe. veterans from the great plains wars chose to offer their services to colonel "buffalo bill" cody and appreciated that wild westing preserved oglala lakota heritage during a time when the bureau of indian affairs was intent on promoting native assimilation. sar choluskan-e sofla (, also romanized as sar cholūskān-e soflá) is a village in zardalan rural district, helilan district, chardavol county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 34, in 7 families. lycideopidae is an extinct family of therocephalians from the late permian and early triassic of south africa. below is a cladogram from sigurdsen "et al."

facto" viceroy of egypt between 685 and his death. he was appointed by his father, caliph marwan i (r. 684–685). abd al-aziz's reign was marked by stability and prosperity, partly due to his close relations and reliance on the arab military settlers of fustat. under his direction and supervision, an army led by musa ibn nusayr completed the muslim conquest of north africa. he was removed from the line of succession to the caliphal throne and, in any case, died before his brother, caliph abd al-malik. however, one of abd al-aziz's sons, umar ii, would become caliph in 717–720. abd al-aziz was the son of a senior member of the umayyad clan, marwan ibn al-hakam, and one of the latter's wives, layla bint zabban ibn al-asbagh of the banu kalb tribe. he may have visited egypt when the province was governed by maslama ibn mukhallad al-ansari (667–682), the appointee of mu'awiya i, founder of the umayyad caliphate. in 682, abd al-aziz was part of an embassy alongside his elder half-brother abd al-malik sent by marwan to the anti-umayyad rebel abd allah ibn al-zubayr in mecca. when the inhabitants of medina, the home of much of the umayyad clan, rebelled against mu'awiya's successor, caliph yazid i (), and besieged the umayyad family in marwan's neighborhood in 683, abd al-aziz is not mentioned as being present. the historian wilhelm barthold speculates he could have been in egypt at the time. in any case, in the summer of 684, when marwan was elected caliph by pro-umayyad loyalist tribes, chief among them the banu kalb, abd al-aziz was in his father's company. he fought alongside his father and the banu kalb against al-dahhak ibn qays al-fihri and the qaysi tribes, who supported ibn al-zubayr, who had declared himself caliph in 683 and gained widespread recognition in the caliphate, at the battle of marj rahit near damascus in august. abd al-aziz was thrown off his horse during the battle, which ended in a crushing umayyad–kalbite victory. afterward, he played a leading role in marwan's conquest of egypt from its zubayrid governor ibn jahdam al-fihri, serving as the commander of a contingent which crossed into the province through the sinai peninsula, via the red sea port town of ayla. there he confronted ibn jahdam and his deputy zuhayr ibn qays al-balawi, the latter of whom ultimately defected to abd al-aziz. after marwan returned to syria, he designated abd al-malik as his successor, to be followed by abd al-aziz; the former acceded as caliph upon marwan's death in april 685. abd al-aziz is most notable for his twenty-year-long tenure as governor ("āmīr") of egypt, from ah 65 (685 ce) until his death in ah 86 (705 ce). he was placed in the post by marwan after the latter departed egypt for syria in february 685. he enjoyed wide autonomy in the governance of egypt, and functioned as a "de facto" viceroy of the country. abd al-aziz also supervised the completion of the muslim conquest of north africa; it was he who appointed musa ibn nusayr in his post as governor of ifriqiya. during the early years of his reign, abd al-aziz resided chiefly at fustat, leaving it only for two visits to the caliphal court at damascus and four more to alexandria. fustat was the capital of the province, established in the 640s by the arab conqueror and first governor of islamic egypt, amr ibn al-as. abd al-aziz was a major patron of architecture and his rule marked the heyday of umayyad-era building works in the city. several houses, palaces, roofed markets and fountains were built under his direction. abd al-aziz completely rebuilt and expanded the mosque of amr, fustat's congregational mosque. to its west, in 686/87, he erected the "dar al-mudhahabba" (the gilded palace). the residential complex was also known in the contemporary arabic sources as "al-madina" (the city), giving an indication of its size, which may have been including gardens and at least two stories. it overlooked the nile and likely included the house and lot of the high-ranking official kharija ibn hudhafa (d. 661), which marwan purchased from kharija's son for 10,000 gold dinars. according to the historian wladyslaw kubiak, the "dar al-bayda" (the white palace) built by marwan in fustat may have been viewed by abd al-aziz as below his stature and the new palace became the official residence of egypt's marwanids (descendants of caliph marwan). at least four roofed markets, each specializing in a type of merchandise, were built during his reign. in august/september 688, abd al-aziz also built the qantara bridge over the "khalij amir al-mu'minin" (canal of the commander of the faithful), which passed through fustat and connected heliopolis (ayn shams) to the nile. the bridge, located in the hamra al-quswa neighborhood, was likely meant to serve a major circulatory road in fustat and its remains were still visible in the 12th century or later. it was one of a number of bridges constructed in the city by abd al-aziz. when the plague struck fustat in 689 or 690, abd al-aziz moved his residence and seat of government about south of the city and founded hulwan. according to the 15th-century egyptian historian al-maqrizi, abd al-aziz had relocated due to flooding in fustat in 690 and chose the site of hulwan for his new capital because its elevation, above the banks of the nile, was higher than the river's flood line. the foundation of hulwan began a custom of establishing "satellite residence town[s]", which was "repeated countless times by later rulers in various regions of the islamic world", according to kubiak. abd al-aziz constructed in hulwan a mosque, a number of churches (see below) and palaces, and planted there vineyards and palm trees. he erected a nilometer in the new city, although it was replaced by the nilometer built on the nile river island of al-rawda in 715. hulwan was well known for the glass pavilions patronized by the governor and an artificial lake fed by an aqueduct. the city's prosperity under abd al-aziz was praised by the poet ubayd allah ibn qays al-ruqayyat. abd al-aziz proved a capable governor, and his rule was a period of peace and prosperity, marked by his conciliatory and co-operative attitude towards the leaders of the local arab settlers (the "jund"): throughout his tenure, abd al-aziz relied on them rather than the syrians, who elsewhere were the main pillar of the umayyad regime. abd al-aziz was known for his generosity. the 10th-century egyptian historian al-kindi quotes a report that he arranged for one thousand bowls of food to be set up around his palace and had another one hundred bowls supplied to the tribal settlers of fustat, both on a daily basis. these bowls are also mentioned in a well-known eulogy by ibn qays al-ruqayyat: that is laylā's son, abd al-'azīz: at bābilyūn [babylon fortress] his food bowls are full to overflowing. according to al-kindi, abd al-aziz introduced an islamic ritual in egypt consisting of a sitting held in the mosques during afternoon prayers on the ninth day of dhu al-hijjah, the day of arafa. abd al-aziz opposed a higher tax burden on indigenous muslim converts. he had been called on by abd al-malik to follow the example of the caliph's governor of iraq and the eastern caliphate, al-hajjaj ibn yusuf, who imposed the poll tax ("jizya") on the inhabitants of his province even after their conversion to islam. instead, abd al-aziz took the advice of the "qadi" (chief islamic judge) and treasurer of egypt, abd al-rahman ibn hubayra, and did not implement the measure. the medieval egyptian historian ibn abd al-hakam (d. 971) relates that abd al-aziz had a different copy of the qur'an produced from the version of al-hajjaj which was sent to him. the baghdad-based writer abu ubayd allah al-marzubani (d. 995) praised abd al-aziz for promoting the arabic language; having caused misunderstandings by his own erroneous pronunciation of arabic, abd al-aziz endeavored to learn the correct pronunciation and later made gifts to his petitioners dependent on their mastery of the arabic language. according to the 10th-century melkite christian patriarch eutychius of alexandria, abd al-aziz permitted his melkite servants to establish a small church in hulwan dedicated to saint george. one of the governor's jacobite secretaries, athanasios, was also allowed the construction of a church in close proximity to the babylon fortress (qasr al-sham) in the vicinity of fustat. apart from personal favors to the christians in his circle, abd al-aziz pursued a restrictive policy towards egypt's indigenous christian population. in 693/94, on one of his visits to alexandria, he arrested the christian leaders of the city and dispersed them across the country's villages and rural districts. he then obliged each district to pay taxes according to the yield of its fields and gardens. abd al-aziz had his son al-asbagh take a census of all the monks of the province, imposed on each of them a poll tax—from which they had previously been exempted—of one gold dinar, and forbade the recruitment of new monks. he also closely monitored the elections of the coptic patriarchs and obliged the patriarchs to take their seat in hulwan. the public display of christian symbols was banned, and a christian source reports that abd al-aziz had all the crosses in egypt destroyed. marwan had named abd al-aziz his second heir after abd al-malik. the latter, however, wanted his son al-walid i () to succeed him, and abd al-aziz was persuaded not to object to this change. in the event, abd al-aziz died on 13 jumada i ah 86/12 may 705 ce, four months before abd al-malik. abd al-aziz was succeeded as governor by abd al-malik's son abdallah, whose aim was to restore caliphal control over the province and, in the words of the historian hugh n. kennedy, "remove all traces of abd al-aziz's administration". by dint of his major architectural works in fustat and hulwan, roughly coinciding with the period of monumental islamic architecture's earliest stages under the caliphs abd al-malik and al-walid i, kubiak calls abd al-aziz perhaps "the true father of islamic architecture". his patronage activities initiated a trend continued by later governors and caliphs. though he spent large sums in the course of his rule, abd al-aziz's personal lifestyle was austere. at his death, he left the relatively small fortune of 7,000 gold dinars, according to his treasurer, and tattered clothing. in an indication of his piety, he stated on his deathbed his wish to have been a mere cameleer roaming the hejaz (western arabia), a man of no consequence or a collection of dust. according to the historian ibn sa'd (d. 845), abd al-aziz had children from three wives and two slave women. he married umm asim layla bint asim, a granddaughter of caliph umar (), while they were both residing in damascus in . abd al-aziz highly valued this marital link with the family of the former caliph and spent 400 gold dinars for the wedding. while ibn sa'd counts four sons from umm asim—asim, umar ii, abu bakr and muhammad—al-baladhuri and ibn abd al-hakam count two: abu bakr asim and umar ii. from another wife, umm abd allah bint abd allah, a granddaughter of amr ibn al-as, abd al-aziz had his sons suhayl and sahl and daughters sahla and umm al-hakam. from a third wife, layla bint suhayl, he had his daughter umm al-banin. abd al-aziz was also married to hafsa, a daughter of asma bint abd al-rahman ibn al-harith of the prominent qurayshite clan of banu makhzum. five of his children, including his eldest son al-asbagh, were bore by slave women. according to the egyptian historian al-kindi (d. 961), abd al-aziz appointed al-asbagh as a temporary governor of alexandria and, during his visit to syria in 695, as his placeholder over the whole of egypt. other sons of abd al-aziz from his slave women included zabban and juzayya. ibn abd al-hakam notes a third slave woman, of greek or coptic origin, named maria, with whom abd al-aziz had a son named muhammad. in honor of maria, abd al-aziz built a palace in fustat called qasr mariya (maria's palace). abd al-aziz intended that al-asbagh—for whom he also nurtured hopes in the caliphal succession—would succeed him as governor of egypt, making the province into a hereditary appendage for his household, but al-asbagh died a few months before abd al-aziz. twelve years after abd al-aziz's death, his son umar ii was appointed caliph and ruled until 720. abd al-aziz's descendants remained influential in egyptian affairs until the early abbasid period. abd al-aziz's grandsons muhammad and amr, both sons of sahl, are mentioned several times in the traditional islamic sources, and amr was counted among the supporters of the alid rebel abdallah ibn muawiya when he fled merv for egypt in 747. another descendant of abd al-aziz, his great-grandson al-asbagh ibn sufyan ibn asim, upheld support for the abbasid caliph al-mansur () in egypt. an anime television adaptation was made from the manga by aic classic that aired from january 11 to march 29, 2013. twelve episodes aired

off". some reviewers did not review the entire series; matthew lee from screen anarchy reviewed the first four episodes. he called the opening to the series the "best ever" saying that it does more storytelling in those ten minutes than other shows may do in an entire season. lee goes on to say that the odd genre mix of 1950s science fiction, and oversexed high-school comedy are used to make the series worth watching. andy hanley from "uk anime network" gave the first three episodes a 4 out of 10 rating calling them "relentlessly depressing". to the converse of the previous review, hanley said that the first twenty minutes were "genuinely horrible to watch", he goes on to say that the "half baked" comedy doesn't make up for the depression. the 2001 star world championships were held in medemblik, netherlands between august 2 and 12, 2001. the schlüsselfelder ship () is a nef or table centrepiece in the form of a model ship, in this case a work of the german renaissance about 1503. the carrack was made of silver-gilt in nuremberg, germany, possibly by albrecht dürer the elder, at the request of the patrician wilhelm schlüsselfelder. it is displayed in the germanisches nationalmuseum in nuremberg. wanchai sports federation () is a football club which currently plays in the hong kong second division. the club is operated by the wan chai district council. the club plays its home matches at happy valley recreation ground. in 2002, the hong kong football association introduced the hong kong third district division league, which was formed by teams operating by each district council of hong kong. wanchai was one of 11 clubs to join the league in the first season. the club did not perform well since they were formed as they were usually placing at the bottom half of league table. in the 2008–09 season, the club were placed at the bottom of the table among 15 teams, only had won one match (vs wong tai sin, originally lost 0–6. however, a suspended player played for wong tai sin in the match. therefore, wong tai sin was given a 0–3 loss.) in 14 matches. in 2009, wanchai sf became the affiliated club of south china. the two teams formed a youth team system, named wan chai south china, to compete in the youth league. the first team did not perform well in the first season of affiliation. they got 4 points in 13 games only, again were the bottom of the league. starting from 2010–11 season, south china appointed first team assistant coaches ku kam fai and chan chi hong as the coaches of wanchai sf. on the other hand, wanchai signed numerous of ex-first division player, such as shum kwok pui, wong chi keung. south china reserves goalkeeper tin man ho also joined the club. these changes had strengthened the team and the team had become a title challenger. after finishing all the 18 league matches they got 43 points, which helped them claim the third district division title. in the third division final round, wanchai defeated eastern, kwun tong and kcdrsc to get promoted to the second division for the first team in club history. the 2011–12 season was the best ever season in the club history. being the newly promoted team with any experiences in hong kong second division, the club had not only kept the players, but also signed more ex-first division such as lo chun kit and colly barnes ezeh. as an underdog at the beginning of the season, they performed unexpectedly well, having chance to win promotioni to the hong kong first division. although they could not get promoted, they still placed in the fourth place, only 7 points behind southern, the runner-up of the league which get promoted. they performed well in cup competition too. they defeated hong kong football club, fire services, shatin and wing yee to reach the final of the 2011—12 hong kong junior shield. their season culminated in victory over happy valley 3–0 to claim the hong kong junior shield at hong kong stadium on 18 february 2012. the 2009 star world championships were held in varberg, sweden between august 2 and 7, 2009. the wltp procedure (world harmonized light-duty vehicles test procedure) is a global, harmonized standard for determining the levels of pollutants, co emissions and fuel consumption of traditional and hybrid cars, as well as the range of fully electric vehicles. this new protocol was developed by the united nations economic commission for europe (unece) to replace the new european driving cycle (nedc) as the european vehicle homologation procedure. its final version was released in 2015. one of the main goals of the wltp is to better match the laboratory estimates of fuel consumption and emissions with the measures of an on-road driving condition. since co targets are becoming more and more important for the economic performance of vehicle manufacturers all over the world, wltp also aims to harmonize test procedures on an international level, and set up an equal playing field in the global market. besides eu countries, wltp is the standard fuel economy and emission test also for india, south korea and japan. in addition, the wltp ties in with regulation (ec) 2009/443 to verify that a manufacturer’s new sales-weighted fleet does not emit more co on average than the target set by the european union, which is currently set at 95gr of co per kilometer for 2021. from the 1st of september 2019 all the light duty vehicles that are to be registered in the eu countries (but also in switzerland, norway, iceland and turkey) must comply with the wltp standards. the wltp replaces the old nedc as european homologation lab-bench procedure, which was established in the '80s to simulate urban driving condition of a passenger car. in 1992 the nedc was updated to include also a non-urban path (characterized by medium to high speeds), and finally in 1997 the co emission figure have been added, too. nowadays, the nedc cycle has become outdated, since it is not representative of the modern driving styles, since nowadays the distances and road variety a mean car has to face have changed. the structure of the nedc is characterized by an average speed of 34 km/h, the accelerations are smooth, stops are few and prolonged and top speed is 120 km/h. the new standard has been designed to be more representative of the real and modern driving conditions. to pursue this goal, the wltp is 10 minutes longer than the nedc (30 instead of 20 minutes), its velocity profile is more dynamic, consisting in quicker accelerations followed by short brakes. moreover, the average and the maximum velocities have been increased to 46,5 km/h and 131,3 km/h respectively. the distance covered is 23,25 km (more than double than the 11 kilometers of the nedc). the key differences between the old nedc and new wltp test are that wltp: the test procedure provides a strict guidance regarding conditions of dynamometer tests and road load (motion resistance), gear shifting, total car weight (by including optional equipment, cargo and passengers), fuel quality, ambient temperature, and tyre selection and pressure. three different wltc test cycles are applied, depending on vehicle class defined by power/weight ratio pwr in w/kg (rated engine power / kerb weight): most common cars have nowadays power-weight ratios of 40–100 w/kg, so belong to class 3. vans and buses can also belong to class 2. in each class, there are several driving tests designed to represent real world vehicle operation on urban and extra-urban roads, motorways, and freeways. the duration of each part is fixed between classes, however the acceleration and speed curves are shaped differently. the sequence of tests is further restricted by maximum vehicle speed v. to ensure the comparability for all vehicles, thus guaranteeing a fair comparison between different car manufacturers, the wltp tests are performed in laboratory under clear and repeatable conditions. the protocol states: the last two are stricter than in the nedc protocol, since they were used by car manufacturers to their advantage to keep co values (legally) as low as possible. the procedure doesn’t indicate fixed gear shift point, as it was in the nedc, letting each vehicle use its optimal shift points. in fact, these points depend on vehicle unique parameters as weight, torque map, specific power and engine speed. during the wltp the impact of the model’s optional equipment is also considered. in this way the tests reflect better the emissions of individual cars, and not just the one with the standard equipment (as it was for the nedc cycle). in fact, for a same car, the homologation procedure needs two measures: one for the standard equipment and the other one for the fully equipped model. this takes into account the effect on vehicle’s aerodynamics, rolling resistance and change in mass due to the additional features. the new wltp procedure relies on the new driving cycles (wltc – worldwide harmonized light-duty vehicles test cycles) to measure the mean fuel consumption, the co emissions as well as the emissions of pollutants by passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. the wltp is divided into 4 different sub-parts, each one with a different maximum speed: these driving phases simulate urban, suburban, rural and highway scenarios respectively, with an equal division between urban and non-urban paths (52% and 48%). class 2 test cycle has three parts for low, medium, and high speed; if v < 90 km/h, the high-speed part is replaced with low-speed part. class 1 test cycle has low and medium-speed parts, performed in a sequence low–medium–low; if v < 70 km/h, the medium-speed part is replaced with low-speed part. the period of transition from nedc to wltp has started in 2017 and will end in september 2019. car manufacturers were required to obtain approval under both wltp and nedc for any new vehicle from 1st of september 2017, while wltp superseded nedc from september 2018. from that date, measures of fuel consumption and co emissions obtained under wltp are the only one with legal validity and are to be inserted in official documentations (the certificate of conformity). since the structures of nedc and wltp are different, the values obtained can differ one from the other even if a same is car being tested. as wltp reflects more closely on-road going conditions, its laboratory measures of co emissions are usually higher than the nedc. a vehicle’s performance does not change from one test from the other, simply the wltp simulates a different, more dynamic path, reflecting in a higher mean value of pollutants. this fact is important, because the co figure is used in many countries to determine the cost of vehicle excise duty for new cars. given the discrepancies in between the two procedures the unece suggested the policymakers to consider this asymmetry during the transition process. for example in the uk, during the period of transition from nedc to wltp, if the co value was obtained under the latter, it must be converted to a ‘nedc equivalent’. along with the lab-based procedure, the unece introduced a test in real driving conditions for nox and other particulate emissions, which are a major cause of air pollution. this procedure is called real drive emissions test (rde) and verifies that legislative caps for pollutants are not exceeded under real use. rde does not substitute the laboratory test (the only one that holds a legal value), but they complement it. during rde the vehicle is being tested under various driving and external conditions, that include different heights, temperatures, extra payload, uphill and downhill driving, slow roads, fast roads, etc. to measure the emissions during the on-road test, vehicles are equipped with a portable emissions measurement system (pems) that monitors pollutants and co values in real time. the pems consists in a complex instrumentation that includes: advanced gas analyzers, exhaust gas flowmeters, an integrated weather station, a global positioning system (gps), as well as a connection to the network. the protocol does not indicate a single pems as reference, but indicates the set of parameters that its equipment has to satisfy. the collected data are analyzed to verify that the external conditions under which the measures are taken satisfy the tolerances and guarantee a legal validity. the limits on the harmful emissions are the same as the wltp, multiplied by a conformity factor. the conformity factors consider the error of the instrumentation, that can not guarantee the same level of accuracy and repeatability of the laboratory test, as well as the influence of the pems itself on the vehicle that is being tested. for example, during the validation of the nox emissions, a conformity factor of 2.1 (110% tolerance) is used. algeria has competed at every celebration of the mediterranean games. its athletes have won a total of 240 medals. below the table

instead order more profitable soft drinks, non-carbonated beverages, or bottled water. the campaign's title, hno, reflects the program's purpose, which is to have customers say "no" to "ho", the chemical formula for water. the program taught waiters how to use "suggestive selling techniques" to offer a variety of alternative beverages when diners asked for water. in july 2001, a link to a story about the program's success at olive garden was posted to cockeyed.com. the link was reposted around the internet, until the story was taken down by coca-cola on august 2, 2001, for fears it might be misinterpreted. on august 20, 2001, the story was covered by "the new york times", and subsequently by a number of news providers. the campaign ran only in the united states. the hno campaign had been conducted through an internet memo to distributors and restaurants. in july 2001, rob cockerham, a graphic designer in sacramento, came across the olive garden success story following an online search, and posted a link to the story on his website, cockeyed.com. in an interview with "the new york times", cockerham noted how "i had to assure more than one person that this was not a prank, and that it was a real article from coca-cola." on august 2, 2001, about a week after the success story link was posted to cockeyed.com, the coca-cola portal was closed. polly howes, a spokeswoman for coca-cola, stated that the story might be misinterpreted by "folks who aren't in a sales-related business" and that the site was due to be dismantled. following the "new york times" article, the story was covered by major news providers, including "daily mail", "sunday herald sun", "evening standard" and was featured on "the glass house." in a success story on coca-cola's online public relations portal, entitled "the olive targets tap water & wins", coca-cola described the purpose, implementation, and success in reducing "tap water incidence". coca-cola stated that customers chose tap water out of habit, and that selling alternative beverages would increase guest satisfaction: water. it's necessary to sustain life, but to many casual dining restaurant chains it contributes to a dull dining experience for the customer. many customers choose tap water not because they enjoy it, but because it is what they always have drunk in the past. in response, some restaurant chains are implementing programs to help train crews to sell alternative choices to tap water, like soft drinks and non-carbonated beverages, with the goal of increasing overall guest satisfaction. olive garden's stated goal was "to influence customers to abandon their default choice of tap water and experience other beverage choices to improve their dining experience". the olive garden suffered from a "high water incidence rate" and "wanted their restaurant crews to emphasize the broad array of alternative beverage selections available" so as "to influence customers to abandon their default choice of tap water and experience other beverage choices to improve their dining experience." in response, the coca-cola usa-fountain offered the tap water reduction program h2no. the h2no program featured "beverage suggestive selling techniques (a technique used when a server suggests a profitable beverage in place of water to the customer during the ordering process)." alternative beverages including soft drinks, non-carbonated beverages and alcohol would be offered which would lead to higher "overall check averages" and greater profits. to further improve the effectiveness of the program, the "olive garden developed an employee incentive contest linked to h2no with ccusa-fountain called 'just say no to ho.'" the success story noted how "because of its own successful campaign against water, the olive garden has recently sent a powerful message to the entire restaurant industry - less water and more beverage choices mean happier customers" stating how: when the contest was completed, almost all participating restaurants realized significant increases in beverage sales and reduced levels of tap water incidence - a strong indication that olive garden restaurants succeeded in enhancing the customer's dining experience. and perhaps most importantly, olive garden expects to see this trend continue as the skills learned become part of the crew's everyday interaction with restaurant customers. the program and olive garden success story were widely ridiculed. on august 22, 2001, peter gleick, the director of the pacific institute, wrote a letter to the editor of "the new york times", criticizing the campaign, noting how "both pepsico and coca-cola use perfectly potable tap water as the source of their bottled waters, aquafina and dasani. i guess tap water is o.k., if we can be made to pay for it." in a report by corporate accountability international, "tapping congress to get off the bottle", the report criticized the campaign as part of how "bottlers have employed a range of marketing tactics that have overtly disparaged the tap." the olive garden success story and the h2no program have been cited in literature as examples of the bottled water industry's aggressive advertising campaigns which views tap water as an impediment to increased profits. cheshmeh chai (), also rendered as cheshmeh chahi, may refer to: speed skating at the 2018 winter olympics was held at the gangneung oval in gangneung, south korea between 10 and 24 february 2018. a total quota of 180 athletes were allowed to compete at the games (maximum 100 men and 80 women). countries were assigned quotas based on the results of the entire 2017–18 isu speed skating world cup in the autumn of 2017. each nation was permitted to enter a maximum of three athletes per gender for all events apart from the 5000m, 10,000m and mass start events, for which they could enter a maximum of two athletes per event. the following was the competition schedule for all speed skating events. with the exception of the team pursuit events, all rounds of each event were concluded within a single session. skaters who did not participate in the final of the team pursuit event, but received medals as part of the team, having taken part in an earlier round. eight olympic records (or) and five sea level world bests (wb) were set during the competition. the netherlands won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the women's 3000m event, making it a dutch podium sweep. a total of 184 athletes from 29 nations (including the ioc's designation of olympic athletes from russia) were scheduled to participate (the numbers of athletes are shown in parentheses). colombia was scheduled to make its debut in the sport. a record number of nations qualified to compete in these games, with the previous high being 25 at the 1998 winter olympics.

the 461st light combat aviation squadron ("serbo-croatian: 461. eskadrila lake borbene avijacije / 461. ескадрила лаке борбене авијације") was an aviation squadron of yugoslav air force formed in 1953 at niš airfield as training squadron of 29th aviation division ("serbo-croatian: trenažna eskadrila 29. vazduhoplovne divizije / тренажна ескадрила 29. ваздухопловне дивизије"). squadron was part of 29th aviation division. it was equipped with us-made f-47d thunderbolt fighter-bombers and yugoslav-made ikarus aero 2 trainers. in 1959 due the drvar reorganization this squadron has become light combat aviation squadron of 3rd air command ("serbo-croatian: vazduhoplovna eskadrila lake borbene avijacije 3. vazduhoplovne komande / ваздухопловна ескадрила лаке борбене авијације 3. ваздухопловне команде"). squadron was again renamed and renumbered in april 1961 as 461st light combat aviation squadron. in same year new soko 522 trainer aircraft have been introduced replacing older thunderbolts and aero 2 aircraft. by order from june 8, 1968, it has been disbanded. it was reestablished by order from march 7, 1973, at pančevo airfield as part of 98th aviation brigade. soko 522 trainers were replaced with utva 66 liaison aircraft and soko j-20 kraguj counter-insurgency aircraft during the 1976 and 1977. squadron has become independent under 1st air corps in 1978 by order from november 1976. 461st squadron has been disbanded by order from november 16, 1981. its personnel and equipment were attached to the 525th training aviation squadron. jurab deraz mirza beygi (, also romanized as jūrāb derāz mīrzā beygī; also known as chūbderāz-e mīrzābeygī, jūb derāz-e mīrzā beygī, and jūrāb derāz va mīrzā beygī) is a village in karezan rural district, karezan district, sirvan county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 666, in 133 families. benjamin wrench (1778–1843), was an actor, born in 1778 in london, where his father occupied ‘a lucrative appointment in the exchequer.’ he seems to have been grandson of sir benjamin wrench, m.d., of norwich (d. 1747, aged 82) (see notes and queries, 5th ser. v. 48). his father died before he reached his seventh year, and having declined a proffered living and a commission in the army offered by general tryon, a relative, wrench adopted the stage as a profession, making his first appearance at stamford. whatever ability he had was slow in ripening, and he had to rehearse for fourteen days the part of francis in the ‘stranger’ before he could be allowed to essay it. mrs. robinson taylor, the manager of the nottingham circuit, whom he married, coached him carefully and brought out such ability as he possessed. he then joined in york the company of tate wilkinson, whose praise he obtained, and proceeded to edinburgh, where with complete success he played othello, gossamer, job thornberry, and jeremy diddler. when robert william elliston in 1804 quit bath, he was replaced by wrench, who made his appearance on 5 january 1805 as gossamer in ‘laugh when you can,’ and walter in ‘children in the wood.’ in the new bath house wrench opened on 26 october 1805 as percy in the ‘castle spectre.’ he played during the season archer in ‘beaux' stratagem,’ orlando, belcour in ‘west indian,’ and pedro in the ‘pilgrim.’ he then returned to york, and while there received an offer from drury lane, where he appeared, with the company then temporarily occupying the lyceum, as ‘wrench from bath and york,’ playing on 7 october 1809 belcour in ‘west indian’ and tristram fickle in the ‘weathercock.’ at drury lane wrench remained until 1815. he left drury lane that year, and divided his time between the lyceum and the country—birmingham, bristol, dublin, and other large towns. at the lyceum he was on 29 aug. 1818 the first wing in peake's ‘amateurs and actors,’ the first jenkins in ‘gretna green,’ and the first sir john freeman in ‘free and easy.’ in 1820, as captain somerville in ‘capers at canterbury,’ he made his first appearance at the adelphi, where he made perhaps his greatest success on 26 november 1821 as corinthian tom in moncrieff's ‘tom and jerry, or life in london.’ on 4 october 1826 wrench appeared for the first time at covent garden, enacting rover in ‘wild oats.’ he had made a great success at the lyceum in ‘he lies like truth,’ and was at that house when (16 feb. 1830) it was burnt to the ground. in 1834, in the rebuilt house, wrench and keeley made a great hit in oxenford's ‘i and my double.’ on 30 oct. at the haymarket he was the first caleb chizzler in ‘but however’ by henry mayhew and henry baylis. in 1840 wrench was at the olympic. his last engagement was at the haymarket. in the country wrench played a large round of comic characters, including charles surface, dr. pangloss, captain absolute, and many others. wrench was a good comedian, but never reached the first rank. oxberry, who often played with him, speaks of him as knock-kneed, and says that, adopting robert william elliston as model, he copied his nasal twang and drawling doubtful delivery, mistook abruptness for humour, and was less a gentleman on the stage than a "blood" (rake). on 24 oct. 1843 he died at his lodgings in pickett place, london, in his sixty-sixth year. wrench and manly, an actor, were engaged respectively to miss and mrs. taylor of nottingham, but ultimately changed partners, wrench marrying mrs. taylor and manly her daughter. wrench's marriage was not happy. he was charged with leaving his wife necessitous while he indulged in tavern dissipations. his wife had formerly, as mrs. taylor, been an actress of some ability (see thespian dictionary, under taylor [mrs. robinson]). wrench was medium height, light complexioned, with high shoulders and flat features. a portrait of him, by sharpe, as wing in ‘amateurs and actors,’ and one by de wilde as sir freeman in ‘free and easy,’ are in the mathews collection in the garrick. his portrait as belmour is in oxberry's ‘dramatic biography,’ and as benedick in the ‘theatrical inquisitor’ for january 1814. ilam cement plant ( – "kārkhāneh-ye sīmān īlām") is a village and company town in karezan rural district, karezan district, sirvan county, ilam province, iran. at the 2006 census, its population was 8, in 4 families. kolahjub (, also romanized as kolahjūb and kolah jūb) is

azerbaijan. it was opened in 2012 and has a capacity of 3,200 spectators. the stadium was one of the venues for the group stages of the 2012 fifa u-17 women's world cup. three group matches were played there. bernhard iv, lord of lippe ( in brake – june 1275) was a ruling lord of lippe. he was the eldest son of bernard iii and his wife, sofie of cuijck-arnsberg. in 1254, he took up grovenment of rheda and in 1265, he succeeded his father as ruler of lippe. his brother herman iii inherited the city of lippstadt. with his uncle, bishop simon i of paderborn, he fought in the battle of zülpich of 1267 against the duchy of jülich. simon was captured. in 1269, bernard iv paid a large ransom to secure simon's release. he had to borrow the money, causing the house of lippe to be burdened by

researcher samuel a. levine who studied the significance of systolic heart murmurs. the grading gives a number to the intensity from 1 to 6: the palpable murmur is known as thrill, which can be felt on grade 4 or higher. the levine scaling system persists as the gold standard for grading heart murmur intensity. it provides accuracy, consistency, and interrater agreement which are essential for diagnostic purposes, particularly to distinguish innocent from pathological murmurs. louder murmurs (grade ≥3) are more likely believed to represent cardiac defects that tend to have hemodynamic consequences. the levine scale is usually written down as a fraction of 6 and in roman numerals, as in a scale of ii/vi. qanatabad (, also romanized as qanātābād) is a village in karezan rural

of egypt for the rival caliph ibn al-zubayr in 684, during the second fitna. egypt's kharijites proclaimed themselves for ibn al-zubayr when the latter proclaimed himself caliph at mecca, and ibn al-zubayr dispatched abd al-rahman ibn utba al-fihri to become the province's governor. although the incumbent governor, sa'id ibn yazid, gave way, the resident arab elites of the province barely tolerated his presence, and began contacts with the umayyad caliph marwan i in damascus. these contacts encouraged marwan to march against egypt, where abd al-rahman vainly tried to muster a defence: although he fortified the capital, fustat, an army he sent to stop the umayyad advance at ayla, melted away, and his fleet was wrecked by storms. marwan entered egypt unopposed, and after a couple of days of clashes before fustat, the city's nobles surrendered it to him. abd al-rahman was allowed to leave egypt with his possessions. the degenerate art exhibition () was an art exhibition organized by adolf ziegler and the nazi party in munich from 19 july to 30 november 1937. the exhibition presented 650 works of art, confiscated from german museums, and was staged in counterpoint to the concurrent great german art exhibition. the day before the exhibition started, hitler delivered a speech declaring "merciless war" on cultural disintegration, attacking "chatterboxes, dilettantes and art swindlers". degenerate art was defined as works that "insult german feeling, or destroy or confuse natural form or simply reveal an absence of adequate manual and artistic skill". one million people attended the exhibition in its first six weeks. a u.s. critic commented "there are probably plenty of people—art lovers—in boston, who will side with hitler in this particular purge". hitler's rise to power on 30 january 1933 was quickly followed by actions intended to cleanse the culture of so-called degeneracy: book burnings were organized, artists and musicians were dismissed from teaching positions, and museum curators were replaced by party members. in september 1933 the "reichskulturkammer" (reich culture chamber) was established, administered by joseph goebbels, hitler's "reichminister für volksaufklärung und propaganda" (reich minister for public enlightenment and propaganda). the arbiter of what was unacceptably "modern" was hitler. although goebbels and some others admired the expressionist works of artists such as emil nolde, ernst barlach, and erich heckel, a faction led by alfred rosenberg despised the expressionists, and the result was a bitter ideological dispute which was settled only in september 1934, when hitler—who denounced modern art and its practitioners as "incompetents, cheats and madmen"— declared that there would be no place for modernist experimentation in the reich. in the first half of 1937, preparations were underway for the "große deutsche kunstausstellung" ("great german art exhibition"), which was to showcase art approved by the nazis. an open invitation to german artists resulted in 15,000 works being submitted to the exhibition jury, which included allies of goebbels. when the works they selected for the exhibition were shown to hitler for his approval, he became enraged. hitler dismissed the jury and appointed his personal photographer heinrich hoffmann to make a new selection. in a diary entry of 4 june 1937, goebbels conceived the idea of a separate exhibition of works from the weimar era, which he called "the era of decay. so the people can see and understand." the art historian olaf peters says goebbels' motivation in proposing the exhibition was partly to obscure the weakness of the works in the great german art exhibition, and partly to regain hitler's trust after the dictator's replacement of goebbel's jurors with hoffmann, who goebbels feared as a rival. on 30 june, hitler signed an order authorizing the degenerate art exhibition. goebbels put adolf ziegler, the head of the reichskammer der bildenden künste (reich chamber of visual art), in charge of a five-man commission that toured state collections in numerous cities, in two weeks seizing 5,238 works they deemed degenerate (showing qualities such as "decadence", "weakness of character","mental disease", and "racial impurity"). this collection would be boosted by subsequent raids on museums, for future exhibitions. the commission focused on works by artists mentioned in avant-garde publications, and was aided by some vehement opponents of modern art, such as wolfgang willrich. the exhibition was prepared in haste, to be presented concurrently with the "große deutsche kunstausstellung" ("great german art exhibition") scheduled to open on 18 july 1937. imitating hitler, ziegler delivered a mordant critique of modern art at the opening of the degenerate art exhibition on 19 july 1937. the exhibition was hosted in the institute of archeology in the hofgarten. the venue was chosen for its particular qualities (dark, narrow rooms). many works were displayed without frames and partially covered by derogatory slogans. photographs of the exhibitions had been made, as well as a catalogue, produced for the berlin show, which accompanied the exhibition as it travelled. a film of sections of the exhibition had also been produced. the degenerate art exhibition included 650 paintings, sculptures and prints by 112 artists, primarily german: georg grosz, ernst ludwig kirchner, paul klee, georg kolbe, wilhelm lehmbruck, franz marc, emil nolde, otto dix, willi baumeister, kurt schwitters and others. ziegler also confiscated and exhibited works of foreign artists, such as pablo picasso, jean metzinger, albert gleizes, piet mondrian, marc chagall and wassily kandinsky. a large number of works were not displayed, as the exhibition focused on german works. the exhibition lasted until 30 november 1937, and 2,009,899 visitors attended it, an average of 20,000 people per day. the first three rooms were grouped thematically. the first room contained works considered demeaning of religion; the second featured works by jewish artists in particular; the third contained works deemed insulting to the women, soldiers and farmers of germany. the rest of the exhibit had no particular theme. there were slogans painted on the walls. for example: speeches of nazi party leaders contrasted with artist manifestos from various art movements, such as dada and surrealism. next to many paintings were labels indicating how much money a museum spent to acquire the artwork. in the case of paintings acquired during the post-war weimar hyperinflation of the early 1920s, when the cost of a kilo loaf of bread reached 233 billion german marks, the prices of the paintings were of course greatly exaggerated. the exhibit was designed to promote the idea that modernism was a conspiracy by people who hated german decency, frequently identified as jewish-bolshevist, although only six of the 112 artists included in the exhibition were jewish. the concurrent "große deutsche kunstausstellung" ("great german art exhibition") was intended to show the more classical and "racially pure" type of art advocated by the nazi regime. that exhibition was hosted near hofgarten, in the haus der deutschen kunst. it was described as mediocre by modern sources, and attracted only about half the numbers of the degenerate art one. another degenerate art exhibition was hosted a few months later in berlin, and later in leipzig, düsseldorf, weimar, halle, vienna and salzburg, to be seen by another million or so people. many works were later sold off, although interested buyers were scarce and prices dropped drastically with the addition of such a large quantity of works to the art market: goebbels wrote of them changing hands between u.s. collectors for "ten cents a kilo", although some "foreign exchange ... will go into the pot for war expenses, and after the war will be devoted to the purchase of art." almost 5,000 were burned on 20 march 1939. in 1991, the los angeles county museum of art staged a forensic reproduction of the exhibition. 300 of the exhibited works were apparently purchased or otherwise appropriated by art dealer hildebrand gurlitt who had reported them destroyed by bombardments, however they resurfaced when details of the gurlitt collection which had been inherited by his son cornelius were made known in 2013. cornelius gurlitt left the collection to the museum of fine arts bern in switzerland which in november 2017 exhibited a number of them in an exhibition entitled "gurlitt: status report: degenerate art - confiscated and sold". in 2014, the neue galerie new york staged "degenerate art: the attack on modern art in nazi germany", an exhibition bringing together paintings and sculptures from the 1937 exhibition along with films and photos of the original installations, promotional and propaganda materials and some surviving nazi-approved art from the official exhibition set up to contrast with the modernist and avant-garde works the nazis considered "degenerate". sarab-e karzan (, also romanized as sarāb-e kārzān and

hubert, also konrad huber, konrad huober, or konrad humbert (13 april 1507 – 13 april 1577), was a german reformed theologian, hymn writer and reformer. he was for 18 years the assistant of martin bucer at st. thomas, strasbourg. hubert was born in bergzabern. he attended a school in heidelberg from 1519. from 1526, he studied in basel. he stayed with johannes oecolampadius who influenced him. he had the chance to meet numerous people with whom he corresponded later, including johannes oporinus, thomas plater and johann gast. after the battle at kappel am albis, oecolampadius recommended him to his friend martin bucer who accepted him as his assistant (diaconus) in strasbourg at st. thomas. when bucer was on his frequent travels, hubert stepped in for him. hubert worked for bucer dutifully for 18 years. it was part of his job to make bucer's ideas and concepts readable, because bucer's handwriting was difficult to read. when bucer left his post in 1549 and fled to england, johann marbach introduced lutheranism. hubert did not agree, he was expelled from the "kirchenkonvent" in 1562 and was dismissed from st. thomas in 1563. after that he worked as a free-lance preacher. after bucer's death in 1551, hubert planned to publish bucer's works which were extant in prints and manuscripts. he faced opposition and withdrew from church life more and more. in 1556 he seemed close to publishing the works with the help of johannes sturm at oporinus in basel. however, only the first volume appeared, titled "martini buceri scripta anglicana fere omnia" in 1577. hubert edited the strasbourg hymnals of 1560 and 1572. he died in strasbourg. he is remembered for his hymns. he wrote the hymn "allein zu dir, herr jesu christ", published in 1540, used by johann sebastian bach as the base for his chorale cantata "allein zu dir, herr jesu christ", bwv 33 in 1724. hubert's hymn "o gott, du höchster gnadenhort" is part of the hymnal of the evangelical church in germany (eg 194).

league baseball team based in new london, connecticut that played in the colonial league. brothers theodore laviano and dr. gerald laviano owned and operated the team. the raiders were the first professional baseball team in southeastern connecticut since the new london planters had dropped out of the eastern league in 1928. in their one season of existence in 1947, the raiders finished the regular season in fourth place with a 50-67 record and 31 games behind regular season champion waterbury timers. that was enough to make the playoffs. they then beat #2 seed poughkeepsie giants 4 games to 3 in the first round of the playoffs but lost the championship series to #3 seed stamford bombers 4 games to 1. they played their home games on mercer field. paid attendance in 1947 was about 30,000. admission for adults was $0.90 for grandstand seats and $0.65 for bleacher seats. admission for children was $0.35 for grandstand seats and $0.25 for bleacher seats. their roster feature some local players, ray smith, charlie (bucky) yauilla, dan czekala and mike petrosky, all of whom started in the season opener, as well as jim mckenna, tony osinski and mahlon (red) turner. ed bedell, max goldsmith, ed zarolds and preston gómez were all selected to the all-star team. danny rourke had the team's best pitching record 8-2 and max goldberg led the team that year with a .297 batting average. mike petrosky, who had been baseball and basketball captain at georgetown university, batted .343 in 105 at bats, not enough to qualify for the batting title. only two players on the roster ever saw any time in the major leagues and in both cases it was before they joined the raiders. player/manager ed butka had previously played 18 games for the washington senators in 1943 and 1944. preston gómez had played 8 games for the washington senators in 1944 and after he retired as a player he managed in the minors leagues for 10 years before becoming 3rd base coach for the los angeles dodgers in 1965. he then became the first manager for the san diego padres from 1969–1972, managed the houston astros from 1974–75, and spent part of the 1980 season as the chicago cubs manager. he spent the last 27 years of his career in various capacities for the los angeles angels of anaheim. shortly before the start of the 1948 season, league president john scalzi announced that the franchise was moving to new brunswick, new jersey. the reason given was the $15,000 that the club lost in the 1947. the club also experienced bad luck with weather all season, starting with the home opener having to be pushed back 4 days due to rain. this also led to the cancellation of the planned opening day festivities, which were to include nfl star ken strong who had been the league president in 1946. of the raiders 40 home games, 6 were interrupted or called off due to rain. the new brunswick hubs moved to kingston, new york for the second half of the 1948 season and changed their name to the kingston colonials for the 1949 season. after the colonial league folded midway through the 1950 season they played the 1951 season in the canadian–american league which folded at the end of that season. the kometa-standard was a standard class glider, designed and built in bulgaria in the early 1960s. thirty were flown by local gliding clubs. the kometa-standard was the second glider designed by pavlov and panchovsky, a fully aerobatic standard class aircraft of almost entirely wooden construction, though with fabric covered control surfaces. the wings, straight tapered in plan and set at mid-wing position, were single spar structures with leading edge plywood covered d-boxes. they had 4° of dihedral. there were salmon type fairings, tapering, slender, streamlined bodies, at the tips. the kometa-standard had mass-balanced, slotted ailerons and spoilers at 60% chord which opened above and below the wing. the fuselage of the kometa-standard was a plywood covered monocoque with the cockpit extending close to the metal nose cone. the canopy of the prototype was of long bubble form, proud of the rear fuselage line, but this was lowered and reshaped on the production kometa-standard ii, merging into the rear fuselage from which it was hinged. the cockpit was changed again in the kometa-standard iii which had a sliding canopy over a reclining seat, making this variant 30 km/h (19 mph) faster than the kometa-standard ii. overall, the fuselage tapered uniformly from the cockpit to the tail. the kometa-standard had a 110° butterfly tail, its plywood and fabric covered surfaces terminating, like the wings, in little salmon fairings. its undercarriage was a fixed monowheel, fitted with a brake and assisted by a forward, rubber sprung skid. the prototype was flown for the first time on 5 august 1960 and an initial batch of 10 kometa-standard iis was built, followed by two batches, each of 10, of kometa-standard iiis. flown by bulgarian clubs, they were fully aerobatic, though not cleared for cloud flying. "data from" reference. "numbers from, cd version." a medical scribe is a person, or paraprofessional, who specializes in charting physician-patient encounters in real time, such as during medical examinations. they also locate information and patients for physicians and complete forms needed for patient care. depending on which area of practice the scribe works in, the position may also be called clinical scribe, er scribe or ed scribe (in the emergency department), or just scribe (when the context is implicit). a scribe is trained in health information management and the use of health information technology to support it. a scribe can work on-site (at a hospital or clinic) or remotely from a hipaa-secure facility. medical scribes who work at an off-site location are known as virtual medical scribes. a medical scribe's primary duties are to follow a physician through his or her work day and chart patient encounters in real-time using a medical office's electronic health record (ehr) and existing templates. responsibilities will vary with the scribe’s department rules. medical scribes generate referral letters for physicians, book appointments and manage and sort medical documents within the ehr system. some scribes assist with e-prescribing (this is prohibited in some jurisdictions and allowed in others). scribes also find information and people (such as medical records from other hospitals, test results or on-call consultants). medical scribes can be thought of as data care managers and clerical personal assistants, enabling physicians, medical assistants, and nurses to focus on patient in-take and care during clinic hours. medical scribes, by handling data management tasks for physicians in real-time, free the physician to increase patient contact time, give more thought to complex cases, better manage patient flow through the department, and increase productivity to see more patients. the introduction of electronic health records has revolutionized the practice of medicine. however, the complexity of some systems has resulted in providers spending more time documenting the encounter instead of speaking with and examining the patient. a tool which was intended to alleviate some problems of clinical documentation has caused many problems for the very people who were supposed to benefit from the technology - the providers. as a result, providers are experiencing burnout and dissatisfaction. an increasing body of research has shown the use of medical scribes is usually, but not always, associated with improved overall physician productivity, cost- and time-savings. patients tolerate scribes well and no differences in patient satisfaction can be found when scribes are present. an in-depth study conducted by the vancouver clinic in vancouver, wa from 2011-2012 found that medical scribes improved the quality of clinical documentation and allowed doctors to see extra patients, while noting the risks associated with scribe turnover and doctors' unfamiliarity with the scribe concept. most physicians like working with scribes and many authors recommend that healthcare providers employ medical scribes to reduce time spent performing data entry and other administrative tasks, which can increase physician fatigue and dissatisfaction. with the use of a scribe, physicians are able to see more patients without the hindrance of typing the patient’s chart. further, because a scribe’s responsibility is focused on charting, the chart is likely to be more thorough and results in more accurate billing to insurance. an er scribe works in the emergency department (ed) of a hospital. their duties may include overseeing the documentation of each patient's visit to the ed and acting as the physician's personal assistant. a scribe might work with one physician per shift or might be shared between multiple providers, depending on the agency. a prospective scribe is required to learn a large and extensive amount of medical terminology, as well as become familiar with human anatomy. they are also required to learn about health systems and healthcare worker roles, patient privacy, professionalism, communication, information technology, healthcare worker safety and infection control. each program has their own training regimen and some are more structured than others. for example, some programs require that all new scribes take an official graded course prior to working. other programs allow the scribe to start in the ed immediately, but only under supervision that is sometimes referred to as bedside training. the first scribe programs were based in reno, nevada. subsequently, in 1995, dr. elliott trotter, m.d., a physician practicing in fort worth, texas, discovered the nevada program and decided to start a program at harris methodist hospital. dr. john geesbreght, an er physician at harris methodist hospital, with approval from texas christian university (tcu) administration, recruited four pre-med tcu students to establish what is now scribeamerica scribeamerica bought physassist scribes, which was previously the oldest medical scribe company in the united states, in 2019. medical scribe programs quickly expanded to other cities. some of these programs have retained the original program paradigm; others have elected to create their own from scratch. technology advances have seen the introduction of "portable tablets" within some hospitals, reducing the risk of transcription errors. there are some programs that have expanded beyond the original model and its core subjects considerably, including more pertinent and up-to-date information. a few programs have included more advanced training topics and utilize standardized tests to certify preparedness to work in a particular clinical environment. for each patient seen in the ed, a scribe will: scribe positions are often filled by college students pursuing careers in medicine, with some organizations providing assistance with college fees. many of those college undergraduates plan to apply to programs in healthcare, such as medical school, pa school, and nursing programs. pre-health students who work as scribes gain practical experience as well as networking connections from working alongside a healthcare team. these students are able to build relationships with medical practitioners who are usually willing to write letters of recommendation for professional school applications on the students' behalf. some scribe organizations have opted to not hire college students pursuing healthcare careers, due to the subsequent high rate of attrition, while others give preference to students who are on healthcare career tracks. also, due to this relationship between the doctor, scribe and professional school applications, some scribe programs limit the positions to seniors of undergraduate programs. the joint commission released guidelines for the use of medical scribes in july 2012. the joint commission's guidelines explained: "a scribe is an unlicensed person hired to enter information into the ehr or chart at the direction of a physician or practitioner (licensed independent practitioner, advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant). it is the joint commission’s stand that the scribe does not and may not act independently but can document the previously determined physician’s or practitioner’s dictation and/or activities. scribes also assist the practitioners listed above in navigating the emr and in locating information such as test results and lab results. they can support work flow and documentation for medical record coding. scribes are used most frequently, but not exclusively, in emergency departments where they accompany the physician or practitioner and record information into the medical record, with the goal of allowing the physician or practitioner to spend more time with the patient and have accurate documentation. scribes are sometimes used in other areas of the hospital or ambulatory facility. they can be employed by the healthcare organization, the physician or practitioner or be a contracted service." the american health information management association also published guidance in its november 2012 edition of "journal of ahima" for physicians on the use of medical scribes, echoing and elaborating on the joint commission's guidance by explaining that "a scribe can be found in multiple settings including physician practices, hospitals, emergency departments, long-term care facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, public health clinics, and ambulatory care centers. they can be employed by a healthcare organization, physician, licensed independent practitioner, or work as a contracted service." hospitals are adding scribe programs to their campuses all over the world. there are three types of programs. some smaller programs are in-house in the facility (run by the health system or office, scribes are direct employees of the facility). other programs are in-house at a medical group that contracts with the facility (scribes are direct employees of the medical group), such as at ema, vituity (formerly cep america), and citymd. aside from these, there are also independent medical scribe companies that contract with a hospital or doctor's group to provide services. some major independent medical scribe companies include precision scribes, scribeamerica, scribe connect, scrivas, physicians angels, and elite medical scribes. while most scribe companies provide their own individualized training to assure quality and consistency, there are also training programs that exist outside the curriculum provided by each company. the american healthcare documentation professionals group, inc. (ahdpg) launched the industry's first online medical scribe training program in 2011. the medical scribe professional training program is designed for individuals new to healthcare or those looking to augment their knowledge in the areas of medical terminology and anatomy & physiology. in 2016, the ahdpg launched the medical scribe certification exam. the american healthcare documentation professionals group certifies medical scribes using the certified medical scribe professional (cmsp) and apprentice medical scribe professional (amsp) designation. the american college of medical scribe specialists (acmss) is the nation’s only nonprofit professional society representing more than 18,000 medical scribes in over 1,800 medical institutions. acmss certifies medical scribes as either a certified medical scribe specialist or a certified medical scribe apprentice. in india, cpms (certificate program in medical scribing) by new generation jobs is the one and only industry integrated job oriented scribe certification program. as per client feedback, cpms graduates are equivalent or better than the american scribes. the decision about whether to commence a scribe program at a clinic, practice or facility, is usually either decided based on economic information, the impact on physicians or a combination of both. gains for the facility can be realised by increasing physician productivity (patients per doctor per unit of time), increasing patient throughput (cost of opening treatment spaces and staffing them, compared to the number of patients that occupy that space per unit of time) and the per-patient revenue (which varies markedly depending on the health system and facility). costs for the facility include start-up (implementation), training scribes (if undertaken in-house) and operational costs (scribe labor, support/management staff labor and equipment updates/replacement). economic information regarding the impact of a scribe program has been summarised in a systematic review undertaken by heaton et al. the cost of training program and training scribes in-house has been reported and there is a multicentre randomised study evaluating the impact of scribes on emergency physician productivity and patient throughput which demonstrates increased physician productivity and reduced patient length of stay in emergency rooms. as of may 7,

national diet of japan. it is located in northeastern osaka and consists of takatsuki city and shimamoto town, the only remaining municipality of mishima county. as of 2016, 321,805 eligible voters were registered in the district. the current representative for the district is kiyomi tsujimoto, policy chief of the constitutional democratic party. tsujimoto had originally been elected in 2000 and 2009 for the social democratic party. she left in 2010 after disagreeing with her party's departure from the democrat-led ruling coalition. kenta matsunami is the previous member of the district. in 2012, he ran for the japan restoration party of former osaka governor and mayor tōru hashimoto that won twelve district seats in the prefecture. before the electoral reform of the 1990s, the area had been part of the five-member osaka 3rd district. the national socialist kindred was a group that sought to combine national socialism, odinism and esoteric hitlerism with a plan to create a white separatist "folk community" in northern california called volksberg. the group was founded by joseph turner (1946-1996), also known as jost. turner was a vietnam war veteran who was disillusioned when he returned to california in the late 1960s. while contemptuous of much of the 1960s counterculture, racial integration, drug use and civil disobedience he found, turner also sympathized with the hippies rejection of selfishness and materialism, which he believed was characteristic of the white majority of the time, and like their idea of "destroying the system by non-participation". taking inspiration from the back-to-the-land and communalist movements of the decade, turner and his family left the "urban social and economic system"—which jost felt was characterized by the growing power of non-whites and "indifference and growing materialism of whites -- and began homesteading in the isolated mountains of northern california. there were a number of other communalists in the area whose ideology jost describes as a mix of "left-wing politics, oriental religion, robin hood and brotherhood" that was "permeated with anti-establishment idealism". turner appreciated the amount of research and effort that the communalists had put into their projects of simple living and self-sufficiency, and praised their development of organic farming, animal husbandry, herbal medicine weaving, spinning, leather craft and success in living outside the mainstream economy. he and his family spent several years learning these skills from their neighbors and living in "crude octagon cabins, barns and even tepees." however, this peaceful coexistence did not last. jost attributes the decline to the other communalists' lack of discipline and embrace of "jewish permissiveness", as well as their failure to pass their ideas down to their children. the cultivation of marijuana led to conflicts among the communalists and with law enforcement and the idealism and live and let live atmosphere that jost saw in the experiment shattered. jost then decided to form the national socialist kindred, with the aim of bringing together like minded racialists into a new self-seficient community, to be called volksberg. to that end he formed the national socialist kindred. for the next fifteen years or so, the nsk distributed pamphlets and exhorted like minded people to pull up stakes and join the community at volksberg. however, jost grew impatient with the quality of people who came to live in the commune. in a letter to tommy ryden in sweden he stated that there were few people who were willing to forsake jobs, home, family, and friends to move to the folk-community. more often than not, they were willing to pull up stakes because they did not have any of those things and wished for somebody to take care of them. he continued "most were psychopaths and dangerous." jost disbanded the nsk in 1995, feeling that it was counter-productive to keep an organization apparatus. moreover, josts ideas had evolved, and he was concentrating on developing a system of yoga called arya kriya that concentrated on developing a more personal relationship than was possible in an organizational setting. he still distributed literature and correspondence under the imprimatur jost. however jost died of a heart attack in 1996. gülümser öney, originally yılmaz (born 1956) is a bulgarian born turkish female chess player. she is turkey's most successful chess player being the eleven times national champion, including seven times consecutively from 1973. gülümser was born in

francisco in the 1960s and 1970s. illegal pete's "mission-style" mexican food is served in a steam table assembly line with fresh grilled chicken, pork, and beef; pinto or black beans; white or spanish-style brown rice; and toppings such as house hot salsa, green chile (pork or vegetarian), guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. illegal pete's also serves fish tacos, nachos, and all colorado draft beer. illegal pete's serves local ingredients, such as all natural preservative-free tortillas from colorado tortilla company; all natural meats from niman ranch, which are humanely-raised without antibiotics or hormones and fed all vegetarian feeds; and other health-oriented options for vegetarians and gluten-free diets. the first illegal pete's location was opened up by pete turner on august 15, 1995, on the hill in boulder; turner said that starting the business nearly killed him. since then, the business has grown to include six locations in denver and boulder, and there are plans to open seven, eight, and nine in fort collins, on colfax, and in tucson, az. the corporate headquarters of illegal pete's was in the historic denver landmark, the daniels & fisher tower in downtown denver and now is on broadway. the combination of quick, filling burritos and an alternative, relaxed environment has become popular with hipsters, college students, athletes, and musicians nationwide: in fact, international pop songwriter jack johnson first received the call saying universal records wanted to sign him while he was eating a burrito at illegal pete's. illegal pete's is involved in several facets of community involvement, including charity fund raisers like the "smother autism" campaign in april 2012, which raised money for the joshua school, "a colorado-based, non-profit educational therapeutic day treatment center for children with an autism spectrum disorder and related developmental disabilities," or the award-winning pete's pints campaigns, which raise money for local bands. in september 2010, illegal pete's started the starving artist program, which feeds out-of-town musicians for free at illegal pete's when they come through denver or boulder to play a show. illegal pete's was voted as the best place to eat and hang out with rock stars by the annual best of westword of 2011. illegal pete's began throwing starving artist sxsw showcases in austin in march 2011. pete turner was featured in a front-page article of the denver post on businesses spending marketing money on representing denver at sxsw. in july 2011, illegal pete's launched "greater than" artist collective, a non-traditional record label that works with colorado bands. the label was the brain child of pete turner and suburban home records owner for 17 years, virgil dickerson. currently signed to the label are denver darkwave band snake rattle rattle snake, cello prog pop songwriter ian cooke, active rock denver darlings the epilogues, the belovedly crass comedian ben roy, and most recently the solo work of paper bird songstress esmé patterson. in 2014, illegal pete's attracted controversy from proponents of race forward's "drop the i-word" campaign, which seeks to eliminate the word "illegal" from american vernacular because of possible racial connotations. two small groups of latino activists demanded that the word "illegal" be dropped from the name of the restaurant, first in fort collins and again upon the opening of the tucson location. founder pete turner has refuted any possible racial connotations of his business name in the media and in a public statement defending the use of the word. travel channel's food paradise aired a segment august 26, 2014 thrillist - denver's best burritos, ranked by dispensary employees the rooster - how

arriba county, new mexico) was a land grant activist who fired the first shot during a 1967 new mexico courthouse raid that grabbed international attention & helped spark the chicano movement. he died peacefully at his canjilon ranch after recently suffering two heart attacks according to his daughter juanita montoya. heir to a northern new mexico land grant, valdez was 29 years old when he and a group of land grant advocates, led by reies lopez tijerina, raided a rio arriba county courthouse in tierra amarilla. their goal was to attempt a citizens' arrest of then-district attorney alfonso sanchez over hispanic land rights issues. valdez had gotten involved with tijerina's group, known as alianza federal de mercedes — an organization founded to help mexican-american heirs to old spanish land grants reclaim land that was illegally taken by white settlers and the u.s. government. "tijerina impressed me when he and most of the people who had walked from albuquerque set up a camp and refused to leave," valdez told retired lawyer mike scarborough in the book "trespassers on our own land," an oral history of the valdez family. during the raid, it was valdez who shot and wounded state police officer nick saiz after the officer went for his pistol and refused commands by valdez to put his hands up. "it came down to, i shoot him or he was going to shoot me — so i pulled the trigger," valdez said in the book. "lucky for both of us, he didn't die." the raiders also beat a deputy and took a sheriff and reporter hostage. after holding the courthouse for a couple of hours, the armed group fled to the mountains as the national guard and armored tanks chased them. valdez was convicted of assault but was later pardoned by gov. bruce king. the episode cemented valdez & tijerina's legacy among activists from the chicano movement of the 1970s who favored more radical methods of fighting discrimination over those of the moderate mexican american civil rights leaders a generation before. "he loved the attention," said montoya, 48. "he wanted people to know our history and what happened to our land." martin vasilev (bulgarian: мартин василев; born 2 january 1992) is a bulgarian footballer who plays as a defender for lokomotiv sofia. on 19 june 2017, vasilev was released by pomorie and returned to his former club oborishte panagyurishte a few weeks later. on 2 july 2018, vasilev joined minyor pernik. what did you expect? is an album by the american singer-songwriter michael cohen which was released on folkways records (fs 8582 folkways records, 1973). the album was re-released by smithsonian folkways records as a compact disc (fw0852 smithsonian folkways records). it is cohen's second album, following his self released debut "mike cohen" (1972). the original lp carried a sticker on the front cover which stated, "songs sensitively and honestly dealing with the experiences of being gay, written and sung by this brilliant young artist solos and group.

during the reign of his father, caliph al-walid i (reigned 705–715). the latter also appointed abd al-aziz governor of jund dimashq (district of damascus). abd al-aziz's mother was umm al-banin, a daughter of al-walid's paternal uncle, abd al-aziz ibn marwan. he was regarded by his father as "the "sayyid", the most forceful personality, amongst his sons". abd al-aziz led his first campaign against the byzantines in asia minor in 709, when he captured a fortress, although his uncle maslama ibn abd al-malik led the main raid of the year afterwards. in 710 he led the main umayyad attack, although under the auspices of maslama as commander-in-chief for the byzantine front, and in 713 he led an attack against the frontier fortress of gazelon. in 714/15, his father attempted to reverse the succession arrangement, by which the throne would pass to his brother sulayman, in favour of abd al-aziz. in addition to various officials and poets in al-walid's court, abd al-aziz gained the support of the powerful viceroy of the eastern half of the caliphate, al-hajjaj ibn yusuf, who died in 714, the governor of khurasan, qutayba ibn muslim, and a prominent alid of medina, zayd, the son of hasan ibn ali. nonetheless, he was unable to impose his will. when sulayman in turn died in northern syria in 717, abd al-aziz intended to claim the throne in damascus, but upon learning that his maternal uncle umar ii had been chosen as caliph, he presented himself before him and acknowledged his rule. according to the account of al-waqidi, during their encounter, umar informed abd al-aziz that he would not have disputed his accession, to which abd al-aziz replied: "i would not like anyone else but you to have taken over the office". abd al-aziz died in anno hegirae 110 (728/729 ce). oil-based mud is a drilling fluid used in drilling engineering. it is composed of oil as the continuous phase and water as the dispersed phase in conjunction with emulsifiers, wetting agents and gellants. the oil base can be diesel, kerosene, fuel oil, selected crude oil or mineral oil. the requirements are a gravity of 36–37 api, a flash point of , fire point of and an aniline point of . emulsifiers are important to oil-based mud due to the likelihood of contamination. the water phase of oil-based mud can be freshwater, or a solution of sodium or calcium chloride. the external phase is oil and does not allow the water to contact the formation. the shales don't become water wet. poor stability of the emulsion results in the two layers separating into two distinct layers. the advantages are: oil-based muds are expensive, but are worth the cost when drilling through: the disadvantages of using oil-based mud, especially in wildcat wells are: this mud type can be used as a completion and workover fluid, a spotting fluid to relieve a stuck pipe and as packer or casing fluid. they are very good for "gumbo" shales. the mud weight can be controlled from 7–22 lbs/gal. it is sensitive to temperature but does not dehydrate as in the case of water based mud as mentioned before. it has no limit on the drilled solids concentration. the water phase should be maintained above a ph of 7. stability of the emulsion depends on the alkaline value. wiebe is a masculine given name of west frisian origin, and may refer to: however, in one of two occasions, wiebe is used as a given

confederacy sometime between ad 1142 and 1450; others place it closer to 1570–1600. jigonhsasee became known as the mother of nations among the iroquois. according to a short version of the haudenosaunee oral tradition, an iroquoian woman lived along the warriors' path. in some accounts she was referred to as jigonhsasee; in others, she was given that name as a new one by the great peacemaker after he recognized her as an ally in making peace. she was known for her hospitality to warriors as they traveled to and from battlegrounds and their homes. at her hearth, warriors of the various factions could come in peace. while they ate her food, she acted as counsel and learned their hearts. it is in this context that the great peacemaker (sometimes referred to by his name deganawidah, but out of respect this was not generally used) came to her and described his vision for a peace to be built upon a confederacy of the warring nations. she said this sounded good but asked what form it would take. he replied, "it will take the form of the longhouse in which there are many hearths, one for each family, yet all live as one household under one chief mother. they shall have one mind and live under one law. thinking will replace killing, and there shall be one commonwealth." the woman recognized the power in peace. the great peacemaker gave her the task of assigning the men to different positions at the peace gathering, and to women in the future the power to choose the chiefs of the longhouse. he called her mother of nations, as she was the first ally of his peace movement. jacob needleman, a contemporary american writer on religion, notes that in iroquoian history, "through the mediation of a woman"..., "the mission of peace takes form in the world." in addition, "it is women's power of judgement that will ultimately determine the leadership of the iroquois confederacy." because the great peacemaker gave women the power to choose the chiefs who would represent their people at council. according to oral tradition, the great peacemaker, who brought hiawatha and this woman together to create the iroquois confederacy, gave her a new name of jigonhsaseh, saying that it meant new face: "it is in your countenance that a new mind is manifest." needleman writes further that "out of the womb of the new mind the nations will be born anew." according to john brown childs, an american sociologist of oneida, massachusaug, and african-american ancestry, jigonhsaseh means "she who lives on the road to war", as this important woman lived next to the warriors' path that ran from east to west. some scholars have suggested that the constitution of the iroquois confederacy influenced colonists who drafted the u.s. constitution but there is not consensus on this. many of the colonists who worked on the constitution were from regions that were not familiar with the iroquois confederacy. other scholars note that the us constitution, as shown in drafts and writings about it that preceded its ratification, clearly reflects the historic british political and philosophical influence in which most of its framers were educated. durie may refer to: the edz irigary bridge is a historic pennsylvania truss bridge in southeastern johnson county, wyoming. the bridge was built in 1913 at sussex, wyoming, and moved in 1963 to irigary road. the bridge was placed on the national register of historic places in 1985 as part of a multiple property submission devoted to historic bridges in wyoming. the pratt truss was invented in 1844 by thomas and caleb pratt. a pratt truss has vertical members and diagonals that slope down towards the center. the interior diagonals are under tension, and the vertical elements are under compression. the pennsylvania truss is a variation on the pratt truss. while the pratt truss has braced diagonal members in all panels, the pennsylvania truss has half-length struts or ties in the top, bottom, or both parts of the panels. the pennsylvania truss is named after the pennsylvania railroad, which pioneered this design. the pennsylvania truss was once used for hundreds of bridges in the united states but the design fell out of favor in the 1930s and only a few such bridges remain. the edz irigary bridge, with a span of , has the longest clear span of any county bridge still in use in wyoming, and is one of the most important historic bridges in wyoming. on february 4, 1913, johnson county awarded the contract for this bridge over the powder river at sussex, wyoming, about east of kaycee. the parts for the new bridge were fabricated by the canton bridge company of canton, ohio. the bridge at sussex replaced two earlier bridges at powder river crossing, located about to the north. the small community of sussex, wyoming grew up around the bridge, and the sussex post office and store was built the following year in 1914. the black and yellow trail was established in 1915, and it crossed the powder river using the new bridge, until the trail was rerouted through arvada, wyoming to the north a few years later. the road at sussex eventually became wyoming highway 192. in 1963, a new concrete bridge was built about upstream from the edz irigary bridge. the old steel bridge was moved by the etlin construction company of casper, wyoming. the bridge now crosses the powder river downstream from sussex on johnson county road 172 (irigary road). david m. blitzer is the former chairman of s&p dow jones indices, where he was head of the index committee that

alcoholism, his daughter briar rose (love), also called "nettles", is unofficially adopted by a team of lumberjacks, including the rough-and-tumble 'hell-to-pay' austin (lucas). nettles is so touched by the logging camp's tribute to her father, organized by austin, that she chooses him to be her foster father. her innocence and purity eventually transform austin into an upstanding christian. one day, an elegant woman (alden) stumbles into the logging camp. the lumberjacks and nettles help her, and she invites briar rose to visit her in new york someday. years later, nettles goes away to boarding school in new york. when taunted by her fellow students, nettles leaves the school to stay with the woman she had met previously. austin comes to new york to rescue nettles, and, reunited,

architecture and art. march was born in hove, england on 26 january 1934. as a teenager, his interests included mathematics, theatre and design. at the age of 17 he wrote an original mathematical paper generalizing the theory of complex numbers to n-dimensions, for which the computer pioneer alan turing wrote, "you have done this research with imagination and competence". for this, march was awarded a state scholarship to read mathematics at magdalene college, cambridge in 1954, with a personal recommendation from alan turing, where he earned a b.a. and doctor of science. during his studies, march was the president of the cambridge university opera group, for which he designed stage sets. early work also included illustrations, and book cover designs for cambridge university press. march was the first director of the centre for land use and built form studies, now the martin centre for architectural and urban studies, cambridge university. he held professorships in systems engineering at the university of waterloo, ontario; in design technology at the open university, milton keynes; and from 1984 in the graduate school of architecture and urban planning, ucla, where he was the chair in the period 1985–1991 and was professor emeritus in design and computation until his death. march also experimented in serial art since the 1960s and became one of the world's first digital artists. in 1962 he held an exhibition titled "experiments in serial art" in the institute of contemporary arts in london, and since then he completed 50 years of art production working with the golden ratio, the platonic solids, and geometric and mathematical principles in design. march's biggest contribution is in architecture and computation. in 1965 he worked as an assistant of leslie martin for the project "whitehall: a plan for a national and government centre", and as such he made one of the first computer-aided architectural investigations. after that, he devoted himself in research, writing and editing numerous books. he was the founding editor of the international research journal "planning and design", now known as "urban analytics and city science", which is one of the four environment and planning journals. he was general editor of the 12-volume "cambridge architectural and urban studies".. in some publications, he has also wrote brilliantly in defense of the authorship of leon battista alberti for the hypnerotomachia poliphili, regarded as the most enigmatic book in history. among the books march published as editor are "the geometry of environment", "urban space and structures", "the architecture of form", "r. m. schindler: composition and construction"; and as author "the architectonics of humanism: essays on number in architecture", and with kim williams and stephen wassell "the mathematical works of leon battista alberti"; and as guest editor "shape and shape grammars". march died on 20 february 2018 at the age of 84.
