Jérémie Azou Jérémie Azou (born 2 April 1989) is a French former rower. He is an Olympic, World, and European champion in the men's lightweight double sculls. He was part of the French men's lightweight quadruple sculls team who won silver at the 2008 World Championships, with Pierre-Etienne Pollez, Fabrice Moreau and Remi Di Girolamo. In 2009, he won silver at the World Championships in the men's lightweight double sculls with Frederic Dufour. In 2010, he teamed with Di Girolamo to win bronze at the European Championships. At the 2011 World Under 23 championships, he competed in the lightweight men's single sculls, winning the gold medal. In 2012, he began to team with Stany Delayre. They finished in 4th in the lightweight double sculls at the 2012 Summer Olympics. An injury to Delayre meant that Azou competed in the lightweight single sculls at the 2013 World Championship, where he won the silver medal. Their team won the European Championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the World Championships in 2015. They also won a World silver medal in 2014. The time of 06:11.38 Azou and Delayre set at the 2015 European Championships is still the fastest time at a European championships. They also hold the fastest time at a World Cup. In 2015, Azou and Delayre won the World Rowing Male Crew of the Year Award. He teamed with Pierre Houin from 2016, winning Olympic gold at the Rio Olympics, and then the 2017 World Championship title. He was undefeated in the men's lightweight double sculls from 2015 to October 2017. He retired in October 2017, announcing his retirement at a celebration of the renaming of the Avignon Rowing Club to Avignon Rowing Club: Base Nautique Jeremie Azou. Azou originally swam as a hobby before taking up rowing at 12. He is a trained physiotherapist.

Oberkrämer Oberkrämer is a municipality in the Oberhavel district, in Brandenburg, Germany. An experimental farm of wind turbines existed between 1941 and 1945 on the 50 m high Matthias mountain in the area. Oberkrämer consists of formerly separate districts, which as of 31 December 2001 merged with the new municipality of Oberkrämer. Current Population according to Oberkrämer.de:

Tropidion fuscipenne Tropidion fuscipenne is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Gounelle in 1913.

Eleonora Brigliadori Eleonora Brigliadori (born 18 February 1960) is an Italian model, actress and television personality. In 2016, she sparked controversy in Italy because of her views on chemotherapy and tumors. Born in Milan, already active as a runway model, Brigliadori began her television career in 1977, as an assistant of Enzo Tortora in the RAI variety show "". One year later, at 18 years old, she made her acting debut on stage, in "The Marriage of the petty bourgeois" at the Theatre of the Royal Villa in Monza. In 1980 she was chosen as the main announcer of the newborn Canale 5. Brigliadori came to the success with the Rai Uno Saturday night show "Fantastico", that she hosted alongside Pippo Baudo and Heather Parisi in 1984. In 1988 she was dismissed from presenting the Zecchino d'Oro Festival as she had appeared as covermodel of the men's magazine "Playmen". In more recent years, she starred on some television reality shows, including ice-skating-themed "Notti sul ghiaccio" and "L'Isola dei Famosi", the Italian equivalent to "Survivor". In 2007, Brigliadori was sued for illegally painting a cliff on the Gallura coast, Sardinia. She claimed that she did so for artistic purposes. More recently, she assumed a controversial position on medicine and more specifically tumors. She publicly labeled chemotherapy as responsible for the death of people undergoing it, she spoke out against researchers and pharmaceuticals producers alike, also describing Italian physician Umberto Veronesi as "a doctor from hell". Brigliadori publicly supports pseudo-scientific treatments against tumors on her Facebook account She advocates the "Hamer method", based on the assumption that diseases generate from unsolved inner conflicts. Brigliadori exchanged harsh words with TV anchor Maurizio Costanzo on the subject, the latter having her walk away from his Maurizio Costanzo Show. Subsequently, she verbally and physically attacked a reporter for TV show Le Iene who was investigating on her preaching alternative healing methods.

Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby, KG (1435 – 29 July 1504) was an English nobleman and politician. Shrewd and conniving, he was a traitor to King Richard III of England, and was known to demonstrate acts of cowardice during the Battle of Bosworth (and many others) as he only fought for the winning side. He was stepfather to King Henry VII of England. He was the eldest son of Thomas Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley and Joan Goushill. A landed magnate of immense power, particularly across the northwest of England where his authority went almost unchallenged, Stanley managed to remain in favour with successive kings throughout the Wars of the Roses, except King Richard III of England, whom he betrayed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. His estates included what is now Tatton Park in Cheshire, Lathom House in Lancashire, and Derby House in the City of London, now the site of the College of Arms. Although the king for the early part of his career, Henry VI, was head of the House of Lancaster, Stanley's marriage to Eleanor, daughter of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury (a descendant of Edward III) and sister of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick (‘Warwick the Kingmaker’) in the late 1450s constituted a powerful alliance with the House of York. This did him no harm, however, even after Warwick was toppled from power, and in 1472, with the House of York again occupying the English throne, he married his second wife Lady Margaret Beaufort, whose son, Henry Tudor, was the leading Lancastrian claimant. He was the last to use the style ‘King of Mann’, his successors opting for the safer ‘Lord of Mann’. After the death of his father in 1459, Stanley inherited his father's titles, including those of Baron Stanley and King of Mann as well as his extensive lands and offices in Cheshire and Lancashire. It was a formidable inheritance and gave him ample opportunity to gain experience in the leadership of men. At the same time, his father's prominence in the king's household had provided him with an early introduction to court where he was named among the squires of Henry VI in 1454. Nevertheless, in the febrile and bloodthirsty circumstances of the Wars of the Roses it was a position fraught with danger as rival claimants for the throne – successively the Houses of Lancaster and York – demanded, threatened or begged for the support of Stanley and his followers.

Julius Radichi Julius Radichi (1763 – 16 September 1846) was an Austrian actor and operatic tenor. Radichi probably came from Italy and first appeared in Milan's la Scala in 1793/94 and in Genoa in 1799. From 24 February 1808 to 31 August 1819 and from 1826 to 1829 he was a member of the Vienna Court Theatres. On 23 March 1829 he gave his farewell concert and was afterwards active as a pedagogue. He was also an esteemed concert singer, especially in Haydn's oratorios "The Creation" and "The Seasons". He became particularly famous in the role of Florestan in Beethoven's "Fidelio". He impersonated this part in the premiere of the third and final version, which took place on 23 March 1814 at the Theater am Kärntnertor. Previously he had also sung Florestan in Paër's "Leonore", which was first performed on 8 February 1809 at the Theater am Kärntnertor in German. Radichi last lived at Franziskanerplatz No. 911 in Vienna, where he died of old age at the age of 83.

Other effects can include altered blood sugar levels, which may in turn increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes." Use of areca nut has been associated with deterioration of psychosis in people with preexisting psychiatric disorders. Areca nut consumption is also tied to chronic kidney disease in men. In 2003 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a World Health Organization sponsored group, found sufficient evidence that the habit of chewing betel quid, with or without tobacco, causes cancer in humans. Support for this conclusion is provided by a recent study which found that "paan", even without concurrent tobacco use, is a risk factor for oral cancer. In October 2009, 30 scientists from 10 countries met at IARC to reassess the carcinogenicity of various agents including areca nut, and mechanisms of carcinogenesis. They confirmed there is sufficient evidence that areca nut, with or without tobacco, can cause cancer. The harm caused by consumption of betel quid or areca nut by hundreds of millions of people worldwide (mainly with southern and eastern Asian origins and connections) has been characterized as a "neglected global public health emergency". Chewing "paan" (and/or other areca nut and betel leaf formulations) during pregnancy significantly increases adverse outcomes for the baby. The habit is associated with higher incidences of preterm birth and low birth weight and height. Biologically, these effects may be a consequence of the arecoline that is found in areca nuts. The habit also exposes the fetus to various other toxic components linked to cancer. The major alkaloid in betel nut is Arecoline. Besides, there are other compounds such as Arecaidine, Guvacine, Isoguvacine, guvacoline, Arecolidine and Homoarecoline. In India (the largest consumer of areca nut) and the rest of the Indian subcontinent, the preparation of nut with or without betel leaf is commonly referred to as "paan". It is available practically everywhere and is sold in ready-to-chew pouches called "pan masala" or "supari", as a mixture of many flavours whose primary base is areca nut crushed into small pieces. Poor people, who may eat only every other day, use it to stave off hunger pangs. "Pan masala" with a small quantity of tobacco is called "gutka". The easily discarded, small plastic "supari" or "gutka" pouches are a ubiquitous pollutant of the South Asian environment.

Faced with this opposition, Edward at first responded that there were "not many people in Australia" and their opinion did not matter. Edward informed Baldwin that he would abdicate if he could not marry Simpson. Baldwin then presented Edward with three options: give up the idea of marriage; marry against his ministers' wishes; or abdicate. It was clear that Edward was not prepared to give up Simpson, and he knew that if he married against the advice of his ministers, he would cause the government to resign, prompting a constitutional crisis. He chose to abdicate. Edward duly signed the instruments of abdication at Fort Belvedere on 10 December 1936 in the presence of his younger brothers: Prince Albert, Duke of York, next in line for the throne; Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester; and Prince George, Duke of Kent. The document included these words: "declare my irrevocable determination to renounce the throne for myself and for my descendants and my desire that effect should be given to this instrument of abdication immediately". The next day, the last act of his reign was the royal assent to His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936. As required by the Statute of Westminster, all the Dominions had already consented to the abdication. On the night of 11 December 1936, Edward, now reverted to the title and style of a prince, explained his decision to abdicate in a worldwide radio broadcast. He famously said, "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love." He added that the "decision was mine and mine alone ... The other person most nearly concerned has tried up to the last to persuade me to take a different course". Edward departed Britain for Austria the following day; he was unable to join Simpson until her divorce became absolute, several months later. His brother, the Duke of York, succeeded to the throne as George VI. George VI's elder daughter, Princess Elizabeth, became heir presumptive. On 12 December 1936, at the accession meeting of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, George VI announced he was to make his brother the "Duke of Windsor" with the style of "Royal Highness". He wanted this to be the first act of his reign, although the formal documents were not signed until 8 March the following year. During the interim, Edward was universally known as the Duke of Windsor.

His ashes are buried in Union Cemetery, the grave marked by a headstone bearing his name, the date of his birth, the date of his death, and the epitaph "Rest assured."

Artūras Seja Artūras Seja (born 17 March 1996) is a Lithuanian sprint canoeist. He won K-1 200m silver in the 2018 European Championships and is also a world medallist at U23 level.

In 2015 Saulwick created a piece called "Endings", which incorporated portable record players, reel-to-reel recorders and live performers, Saulwick, folk singer Paddy Mann (AKA Grand Salvo) and Peter Knight. It was created to explore the ways people engage with death. Co-funded by Melbourne's Arts House and Performance Space in Eveleigh, Sydney, it was premiered at Sydney Festival in 2015, following this there was a season at Melbourne's Arts House. In 2016 Saulwick directed "Permission to Speak" for Chamber Made Opera with composer Kate Neal. The piece explores the relationship between parents and their children as it evolves through a lifetime and features contemporary performance, musical composition for voices, with layered edits from interviews. "Permission to Speak" won the 2017 APRA/AMCOS Art Music Award for Victorian Performance of the Year and was nominated for Choral/Vocal Work of The Year. Saulwick and Neal were interviewed about this piece on the "New Waves Podcast" and its production was featured in a Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) documentary broadcast on 14 October 2016. In 2016 Saulwick was commissioned to create "Newport Archives" by The Substation, an arts centre situated in Newport, Victoria in a converted industrial building. This 40 minute experience is a permanent piece in which participants listen to a guided walk using an mp3 player. In February 2017 Saulwick became Artistic Director at Chamber Made Opera. In 2017 "Endings" was performed in Canada, Great Britain (at the Brighton Festival) and Ireland (at the Dublin Theatre Festival), and played again in Canada at PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, January 2018 and America in February 2018 at On The Boards in Seattle. "Endings" won multiple award nominations (for a Helpmann Award for 'Best New Australian Work' and a Green Room Award for best 'Contemporary & Experimental Performance') and received a Green Room Award for 'Design and Realisation'. In 2016 Saulwick and her collaborator, the composer Peter Knight adapted "Endings" for ABC Radio National's Soundproof. Another significant work is "Alter", which is a performance using a constructed sound and light installation featuring 16 iPads (each participant used an iPad during the performance). The piece was commissioned for the Festival of Live Art by Arts House. Saulwick used a residency at Blast Theory, Portslade, Brighton and Hove, UK in September 2015 to develop this work. There was an element of the brief encouraging artists to make work with a low environmental impact.

The renovation also earned a 2003 Architect’s Choice Award, sponsored by the "Rocky Mountain News", the American Institute of Architects’ Denver chapter and the city and county of Denver. Upon receiving his Master of Architecture in 1980, Ford landed a job with W.C. Muchow and Partners Architects in Denver, where he remained for three years. In 1984, Ford moved to New York City where he joined the office of John Burgee Architects and Philip Johnson. He later went on to do work for Alan Lapidus/Michael Graves in 1989, I. M. Pei & Partners in 1990 and Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates in 1991. Alan attributes the cultivation of his fervor forarchitecture – which materialized in the form of architectural journalism – to the inspiration he found in Philip Johnson's passion for the profession. In 1993, Ford co-founded Hutton Ford Architects P.C. with Paul Hutton, where he was a managing principal until 2007. On June 1, 2007, in a move to diversify his firm's range of services, Ford established Alan Ford Architects P.C.; however, both he and Hutton continue to collaborate on a number of joint ventures under the entity Hutton Ford Architects, LLC. Alan Ford continues to practice as a licensed Colorado architect and principal of Alan Ford Architects. He authored the book "Designing the Sustainable School" and co-authored "A Sense of Entry: Designing the Welcoming School" with former partner Paul Hutton. In addition to his interest in K-12 sustainable school design, Ford has a passion for masonry detailing, which is evidenced by his Park Hill residence and a significant number of past projects. Ford has served on the editorial board of the award-winning AIA magazine "Architect Colorado", and as an honorarium professor and guest critic at the University of Colorado, School of Architecture. He is also the former subject matter expert/editor of design content for the national AIA Soloso website (now the Architect’s Knowledge Resource), where he regularly contributed content promoting sustainability, design innovations and the architectural profession. Alan Ford Architects P.C. is a Colorado architecture firm based in the unique Taxi2 development within the River North Art District in Denver. The firm was founded in 2007 by Alan Ford, who had been a design and managing partner with Hutton Ford Architects. Alan Ford Architects specializes in the design of high-performance, sustainable K-12 schools, but also has extensive experience in a variety of additional project types including office, retail and mixed-use developments; performing arts facilities; single family and multifamily residential; and sports and fitness centers.

Entiat Glacier Entiat Glacier is in Wenatchee National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington, on the northeast slopes of Mount Maude. Disconnected at several spots, the Entiat Glacier is in a cirque above the Entiat Valley and is the source of the Entiat River. The southern section of the glacier is the largest.

Systems Biology Graphical Notation The Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) is a standard graphical representation intended to foster the efficient storage, exchange and reuse of information about signaling pathways, metabolic networks, and gene regulatory networks amongst communities of biochemists, biologists, and theoreticians. The system was created over several years by a community of biochemists, modelers and computer scientists. SBGN is made up of three orthogonal languages for representing different views of biological systems: "Process Descriptions", "Entity Relationships" and "Activity Flows". Each language defines a comprehensive set of symbols with precise semantics, together with detailed syntactic rules regarding the construction and interpretation of maps. Using these three notations, a life scientist can represent in an unambiguous way networks of interactions (for example biochemical interactions). These notations make use of an idea and symbols similar to that used by electrical and other engineers and known as the block diagram. The simplicity of SBGN syntax and semantics makes SBGN maps suitable for use at the high school level. Some software support for SBGN is already available, mostly for the Process Description language. The SBGN Process Description (PD) language shows the temporal courses of biochemical interactions in a network. It can be used to show all the molecular interactions taking place in a network of biochemical entities, with the same entity appearing multiple times in the same diagram. The SBGN Entity Relationship (ER) language allows to see all the relationships in which a given entity participates, regardless of the temporal aspects. Relationships can be seen as rules describing the influences of entities nodes on other relationships. The SBGN Activity Flow (AF) language depicts the flow of information between biochemical entities in a network. It omits information about the state transitions of entities and is particularly convenient for representing the effects of perturbations, whether genetic or environmental in nature. Work on defining a set of symbols to describe interactions and relationships of molecules was pioneered by Kurt Kohn at the National Cancer Institute with his Molecular Interaction Maps (MIM). The development of SBGN was initiated by Hiroaki Kitano, supported by a funding from the Japanese New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization. The meeting that initiated development of the Systems Biology Graphical Notation took place on February 11–12, 2006, at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in Tokyo, Japan. The first specification of SBGN Process Description language – then called Process Diagrams – was released on August 23, 2008 (Level 1 Version 1).

There are deep connections between the theory of semigroups and that of automata. For example, the regular languages over "A" are the homomorphic pre-images in "A"∗ of subsets of finite monoids. For example, assuming an alphabet "A" = {"a", "b", "c"}, its Kleene star "A"∗ contains all concatenations of "a", "b", and "c": If "A" is any set, the "word length" function on "A"∗ is the unique monoid homomorphism from "A"∗ to (N0,+) that maps each element of "A" to 1. A free monoid is thus a graded monoid. More generally, the regular languages over an alphabet A are the closure of the finite subsets of A*, the free monoid over A, under union, product, and generation of submonoid. We define a pair of words in "A"∗ of the form "uv" and "vu" as conjugate: the conjugates of a word are thus its circular shifts. Two words are conjugate in this sense if they are conjugate in the sense of group theory as elements of the free group generated by "A". A free monoid is equidivisible: if the equation "mn" = "pq" holds, then there exists an "s" such that either "m" = "ps", "sn" = "q" (example see image) or "ms" = "p", "n" = "sq". This result is also known as Levi's lemma. A monoid is free if and only if it is graded and equidivisible. The members of a set "A" are called the free generators for "A"∗ and "A"+. The superscript * is then commonly understood to be the Kleene star. More generally, if "S" is an abstract free monoid (semigroup), then a set of elements which maps onto the set of single-letter words under an isomorphism to a semigroup "A+" (monoid "A"∗) is called a "set of free generators" for "S". Each free semigroup (or monoid) "S" has exactly one set of free generators, the cardinality of which is called the "rank" of "S". Two free monoids or semigroups are isomorphic if and only if they have the same rank.

Instead of a mask, Pedrolino is said to have been defined, according to some Commedia historians, by a white "floured" makeup, also known as "infarinato", which later inspired, in part, the makeup of the modern-day white-faced clown. Pedrolino first appears among the records of the Commedia in 1576, when his interpreter Giovanni Pellesini (c. 1526-1616) turns up in Florence, apparently leading his own troupe called "Pedrolino". A member of some of the most illustrious companies of the 16th and 17th centuries—the "Confidenti", "Uniti", "Fideli", "Gelosi", and "Accessi"—Pellesini was obviously "a much sought-after and highly paid guest star". His status is underscored by the fact that Pedrolino figures so prominently in Scala's scenarios, since, as K.M. Lea convincingly argues, Scala, in compiling them, drew upon the "chief actors of his day ... without regard to the composition of a company at any particular period." Pedrolino—and Pellesini—were, we must conclude, among the brightest luminaries of the early Commedia dell'Arte. Pellesini had a lengthy run as Pedrolino and performed for a number of high-ranking spectators, including the Duke of Mantua at Fontainebleau while traveling with the "Confidenti". His last appearance as Pedrolino was in 1613 at the age of eighty-seven, performing with the "Accessi" company at the court theater of the Louvre, an engagement to which the poet Malherbe responded: Harlequin is certainly quite different from what he was, and so is Petrolin [i.e., Pedrolino]: the first is fifty-six and the second eighty-seven. These are no longer proper ages for the theater; gay spirits and sharp wits are needed there, and one hardly finds these in bodies as old as theirs. Since the names of the two types translate into the same diminutive ("Little Pete") and they enjoy (or suffer) the same dramatic and social status, as comic servants, in the Commedia, many authors have concluded that Pedrolino is either the "Italian equivalent" or the direct ancestor of the 17th-century French Pierrot. But there is no documentation from that century that establishes a clear connection between the two types.

Some of the situations for doing collaborative information seeking in this survey were travel planning, shopping, and literature search. Shah, similarly, using personal interviews, identified three main reasons why people collaborate. As far as the tools and/or methods for CIS are concerned, both Morris and Shah found that email is still the most used tool. Other popular methods are face-to-face meetings, IM, and phone or conference calls. In general, the choice of the method or tool for our respondents depended on their situation (co-located or remote), and objective (brainstorming or working on independent parts). The classical way of organizing collaborative activities is based on two factors: location and time. Recently Hansen & Jarvelin and Golovchinsky, Pickens, & Back also classified approaches to collaborative IR using these two dimensions of space and time. See "Browsing is a Collaborative Process", where the authors depict various library activities on these two dimensions. As we can see from this figure, the majority of collaborative activities in conventional libraries are co-located and synchronous, whereas collaborative activities relating to digital libraries are more remote and synchronous. Social information filtering, or collaborative filtering, as we saw earlier, is a process benefitting from other users' actions in the past; thus, it falls under asynchronous and mostly remote domain. These days email also serves as a tool for doing asynchronous collaboration among users who are not co-located. Chat or IM (represented as 'internet' in the figure) helps to carry out synchronous and remote collaboration. Rodden, similarly, presented a classification of CSCW systems using the form of interaction and the geographical nature of cooperative systems. Further, Rodden & Blair presented an important characteristic to all CSCW systems – control. According to the authors, two predominant control mechanisms have emerged within CSCW systems: speech act theory systems, and procedure based systems. These mechanisms are tightly coupled with the kind of control the system can support in a collaborative environment (discussed later). Often researchers also talk about other dimensions, such as intentionality and depth of mediation (system mediated or user mediated), while classifying various CIS systems. Three components specific to group-work or collaboration that are highly predominant in the CIS or CSCW literature are control, communication, and awareness. In this section key definitions and related works for these components will be highlighted. Understanding their roles can also help us address various design issues with CIS systems. Rodden identified the value of control in CSCW systems and listed a number of projects with their corresponding schemes for implementing for control.

The redundancy in the name City of Temple City came when Temple City incorporated on May 25, 1960. Merrill Fitzjohn, the founder and original owner of Fitzjohn Jewelry store on Las Tunas Drive, was appointed as the city's first mayor. Temple City is a destination for East Asian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Latino immigrants, especially Chinese-Americans. Rosemead Boulevard has several strip malls catering to a largely Asian but diverse customer base. A German-American community thrived there in the early 20th century. In January 2009, the Los Angeles County District Attorney began investigating allegations that Temple City's mayor, Judy Wong, along with city council members David Capra, and former mayor Cathe Wilson solicited bribes in exchange for support of the proposed $75 million Temple City Piazza mall project and both women were charged with lying on fair political practice commission disclosure forms. Randy Wang, developer of the Piazza project, made allegations that Wong, Wilson and Councilman David Capra demanded and received cash bribes for their support of the development. Wang raised the allegations as part of his counter-suit against the city, which sued him in April 2008, claiming he failed to meet contractual deadlines of construction on the Piazza project. Temple City's lawsuit asks that the property, at Las Tunas Drive and Rosemead Boulevard, be returned to the city because of the delays after two groundbreaking ceremonies. Wong, 55, the city's first Asian council member, was elected in 2003, was re-elected in 2007, and served as the city's first Asian mayor in 2007. Capra pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of failure to report a campaign contribution and agreed to resign as a condition for no prison time. Nine months after being indicted on charges of bribery and perjury, Wong resigned from office in March 2010; Wilson was voted out of office in spring 2009. In May 2010, Wong accepted a plea agreement of no contest for 10 counts of bribery and perjury. Wong is serving a 16-month sentence at Chowchilla after pleading no contest to 10 felony counts of bribery, solicitation of bribery and perjury, and she is required to pay $16,700 in restitution to developer Randy Wang. She will have to pay about $16,300 in fines and fees. The judge denied a request from Wong's attorney seeking probation for the one-time politician. Cathe Wilson is charged with three counts each of perjury and bribery. The perjury charges included one count of lying to the Los Angeles County Grand Jury in 2008 and two counts of submitting false material in Fair Political Practices reports.

According to Biafra, the suit resulted from his refusal to allow one of the band's most well-known singles, "Holiday in Cambodia", to be used in a commercial for Levi's Dockers; Biafra opposes Levi's because of his belief that they use unfair business practices and sweatshop labor. Biafra maintained that he had never denied them royalties, and that he himself had not even received royalties for re-releases of their albums or "posthumous" live albums which had been licensed to other labels by the Decay Music partnership. Decay Music denied this charge and have posted what they say are his cashed royalty checks, written to his legal name of Eric Boucher. Biafra also complained about the songwriting credits in new reissues and archival live albums of songs, alleging that he was the sole composer of songs that were wrongly credited to the entire band. In May 2000, a jury found Biafra and Alternative Tentacles liable by not promptly informing his former bandmates of the accounting error and instead withholding the information during subsequent discussions and contractual negotiations. Biafra was ordered to pay $200,000, including $20,000 in punitive damages. After an appeal by Biafra's lawyers, in June 2003, the California Court of Appeal unanimously upheld all the conditions of the 2000 verdict against Biafra and Alternative Tentacles. Furthermore, the plaintiffs were awarded the rights to most of Dead Kennedys recorded works—which accounted for about half the sales for Alternative Tentacles. Now in control of the Dead Kennedys name, Biafra's former bandmates went on tour with a new lead vocalist. In the early 1980s, Biafra collaborated with musicians Christian Lunch and Adrian Borland (of The Sound) and Morgan Fisher (of Mott the Hoople) for the electropunk musical project The Witch Trials, releasing one self-titled EP in its lifetime. In 1988, Biafra, with Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker of the band Ministry, and Jeff Ward, formed Lard. The band became yet another side project for Ministry, with Biafra providing vocals and lyrics. According to a March 2009 interview with Jourgensen, he and Biafra are working on a new Lard album, which is being recorded in Jourgensen's El Paso studio. While working on the film "Terminal City Ricochet" in 1989, Biafra did a song for the film's soundtrack with D.O.A..

Bailey was the first paralyzed person to win the WSA Championships (Trestles 2009), as well as the first paralyzed person to surf "Mavericks" (Half Moon Bay, California). In March 2010, Christiaan Bailey and Aaron Fotheringham were selected by the IPC or International Paralympic Committee to be a part of "Team Extreme" for the Vancouver Paralympic Opening Ceremonies, showcasing the new sport of chairskating at BC Place Stadium in front of 73,000 people. Bailey is currently one of only two professional "chairskaters", and currently remains the only paralyzed professional big wave surfer in the world. He is also active in many international NGO's and disability related non profit organizations. He is a member of a United Nations medical delegation initiative called "Global Mobility", that provides ambulatory aid equipment, to people with disabilities in developing nations. He works closely with the Challenged Athletes Foundation as a surfing instructor and he is a coach at Ability First Wheelchair Sports Camp. He currently serves on the board of directors of USA Surfing (Surfing NGB), as well as the Adaptive Surfing advisory board for the International Surfing Association (Surfing IGB).

The contest was heavily promoted by WWC, with both wrestlers making appearances in television and radio stations. The first contest between them took place in a tag team match, where Huertas González and Díaz won by pinning Gilbert's partner, Laureano. The main match between both was left inconclusive, seeing intervention from Huertas González's family. On July 17, 2011, the IWA and WWC began an interpromotional angle, the first between both, where IWA wrestlers entered the ring at WWC Aniversario 2011 and issued a challenge. Two weeks later, Gilbert led Team WWC in retaliation, interrupting a ceremony where Víctor Quiñones was being inducted into the Puerto Rico Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame. After taking main stage during the act, he proceeded to cut a promo where he claimed that Quiñones was undeserving of being a Hall of Famer and adding more insults. This led to Team IWA's reaction, who issued a challenge to the Colón family, which was promptly accepted by Team WWC. Following two successful title defenses, the feud with Huertas González was resumed, costing him the title by forfeit, recovering it when Díaz decided to vacate due to dissatisfaction with the manner that it was won. The day after, Gilbert began pursuing the Universal Heavyweight Championship defeating the incumbent, Carly Colón. At Septiembre Negro, he won a lumberjack match against Huertas González, which counted with several former champions and veteran wrestlers surrounding the ring. A third contest ended in similar fashion. This closed this angle, with Gilbert going on to demand the title opportunity that he won by defeating Colón. On October 30, 2011, he defended the first contendership defeating Chris Masters. His first titular opportunity ended in a no contest, after Colón assaulted two different referees. A week before Lockout, Gilbert decided not to challenge for the title in that event, instead choosing yo feud with a returning González. However, he was booked to defend his first confedership against Kenny Dykstra. Gilbert lost the contest due to outside interference from González, responding later in the event by assaulting him with a chair. González won the first contest between them at Euphoria 2012. At La Hora de la Verdad, Gilbert won a rematch to regain the first contendership, following intervention from Orlando Toledo on his behalf and using a folded chair. Toledo also worked as the advisor of the Extreme Wrestling Organization, the largest independent promotion in Puerto Rico, which was also holding an interpromotional angle with IWA concurrently.

Armando Iannucci Armando Giovanni Iannucci (; born 28 November 1963) is a Scottish satirist, writer, director, and radio producer. Born in Glasgow to Italian parents, Iannucci studied at the University of Glasgow followed by the University of Oxford, leaving graduate work on a D.Phil. about John Milton to pursue a career in comedy. Starting on BBC Scotland and BBC Radio 4, his early work with Chris Morris on the radio series "On the Hour" transferred to television as "The Day Today". A character from this series, Alan Partridge, co-created by Iannucci, went on to feature in a number of Iannucci's television and radio programmes, including "Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge" and "I'm Alan Partridge". Iannucci also fronted the satirical "Armistice" review shows and in 2001 created his most personal work, "The Armando Iannucci Shows", for Channel 4. Moving back to the BBC in 2005, Iannucci created the political sitcom "The Thick of It" and the spoof documentary "Time Trumpet" in 2006. Winning funding from the UK Film Council, in 2009 he directed a critically acclaimed feature film, "In the Loop", featuring characters from "The Thick of It". As a result of these works, he has been described by "The Daily Telegraph" as "the hardman of political satire". Other works during this period include an operetta libretto, "Skin Deep", and his radio series "Charm Offensive". Iannucci created the HBO political satire "Veep", and was its showrunner for four seasons from 2012 to 2015. For his work on "Veep" he won two Emmys in 2015, Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. He followed this with the feature films "The Death of Stalin" in 2017 and "The Personal History of David Copperfield", a 2019 adaptation of the novel "David Copperfield". In 2020, he created the comedy series "Avenue 5" on HBO. Iannucci was born in Glasgow. His father, also called Armando, was from Naples, while his mother was born in Glasgow to an Italian family. Before emigrating, Iannucci's father wrote for an anti-fascist newspaper as a teenager and joined the Italian partisans at 17. He came to Scotland in 1950 and ran a pizza factory in Springburn. Iannucci has two brothers and a sister. His childhood home was near that of actor Peter Capaldi, who went on to play Malcolm Tucker in "The Thick of It", a TV show created by Iannucci; although their parents knew each other well, he and Capaldi did not know each other in childhood.

2014 BYU Cougars women's soccer team The 2014 BYU Cougars women's soccer team represented BYU during the 2014 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Cougars were coached for a 20th consecutive season by Jennifer Rockwood, who was co-coach in 1995 and became the solo head coach in 1996. Before 1995 BYU women's soccer competed as a club team and not as a member of the NCAA. The Cougars entered the 2014 season having won back-to-back West Coast Conference championships and having made the NCAA Tournament each of the last two seasons and in 15 of the 19 seasons that Rockwood has been the head coach. The Cougars would win the WCC title and secure a berth in the College Cup, where they lost to Colorado playing in the snow. For the first time ever the Cougar IMG Sports Network entered into a contract to broadcast BYU Cougars women's soccer games. Greg Wrubell providing play-by-play while former men's assistant coach Hugh Van Wagenen acted as analyst. For game where Van Wagenen wasn't available Colette Jepson Smith filled in as analyst. The games were streamed exclusively on BYUcougars.com and through the BYU Cougars athletic app. Series History: BYU leads series 6–0 Broadcaster: Mike Martinez (BigWest.tv) Series History: BYU leads series 3–2–1 Broadcasters: Spencer Linton, Natalyn Lewis, & Lauren Francom (BYUtv) Series History: Series Even 1–1 Broadcasters: Brian Rice & Tori Beeler Watson (SEC Network+) Series History: BYU leads series 1–0 Broadcasters: Spencer Linton, Natalyn Lewis, & Lauren Francom (BYUtv) Series History: BYU leads series 19–6–1 Broadcasters: Jason Knapp & Temryss Lane (Pac-12 Network) Series History: Series even 1–1–1 Broadcasters: Robbie Bullough & Amber Wadsworth (TheW.tv) Series History: BYU leads 4–2 Broadcasters: Spencer Linton & Natalyn Lewis (BYUtv) Series History: BYU leads series 3–0–1 Broadcasters: Spencer Linton & Natalyn Lewis (BYUtv) Series History: Series even 1–1 Broadcasters: Robbie Bullough, Amber Wadsworth, & Colette Jepson Smith (TheW.tv) Series History: Series even 1–1 Broadcasters: Mike Evans & Kristen Hamilton (ALT 2) Series History: SMU leads series 1–0 Broadcaster: Lindsey Olsen (PonyUp TV) Series History: BYU leads series 4–2 Broadcaster: Jack Cronin (TheW.tv) Series History: Series even 4–4 Broadcasters: Ty Brandenburg, Natalyn Lewis, & Lauren Francom (BYUtv) Series History: BYU leads series 6–0 Broadcasters: Spencer Linton & Natalyn Lewis (BYUtv) Series History: BYU leads series 4–1 Broadcasters: No audio- Video only (LMU All Access) Series History: Santa Clara leads series 6–0–2 Broadcasters: Spencer Linton & Natalyn Lewis (BYUtv) Series History: BYU leads series 5–0 Broadcasters: Dave McCann & Natalyn Lewis (BYUtv) Series History: BYU leads series 4–0 Broadcasters: Daniel Conlin & Ashley Neid (TheW.tv) Series History: BYU leads series 4–1 Broadcasters: Alan Sanchez (TheW.tv) Series History: BYU leads series 3–2 Broadcasters: Al Epstein & Jen Karson (TheW.tv) Series History: BYU leads series 3–1–1 Broadcasters: Ann Schatz & Kyndra de St. Aubin (P12 Mtn & AZ)

Troon F.C. Troon Football Club (also known as The Seasiders or The Seagulls) are a Scottish football team based in Ayrshire. They compete in the West of Scotland Football League. Formed in 1946, they are based at Portland Park in the town of Troon in Ayrshire. The ground has a current capacity of 2,000 and is standing room only. The club's colours are blue and black vertical stripes, similar to that of Inter Milan. Despite Troon being synonymous with golf, there are quite indisputable records to the effect that local football has a history which began approximately three years before the golf course at the end of the South Beach was ever considered. As far back as 1875 there was a Troon Portland football team, reckoned as seniors, though most of their matches were of necessity friendlies since no leagues of any kind were then available. But they did play clubs such as Irvine, Irvine Victoria, Ayr, Kilmarnock Athletic, Kilmarnock Portland and other county teams. The first Troon Portland team, many of them with relations living in Troon today, was as follows: Goal, Frank Briggs, Backs, Charles Fullarton, David Connell, and Hugh Allison; Half backs, Robert Hastings and James Connell; Forwards. Reuben McNeillage. John Kennan, James Murchie, William Cunningham, John Johnstone. Robert Smith. and David Johnstone. The first proper football club in Troon first came into being in 1889, when Troon Academicals (together with 23 other clubs) became members of the first ever Ayrshire Junior Football Association. That Troon side won the Irvine and District Cup in 1891–92 and again in 1894–95. There is no doubt that they had some first-class talent; two of their players, D. Boyd and T. Walker, were to play as a left wing for Scotland against England. The Troon Academicals name was reborn in 2009 by a Troon F.C. affiliated supporters team of the same name. In 1904–05 the Ayrshire Consolation Cup was won by a Junior team named Troon Rangers. Troon Athletic were founded in 1919 by the Troon Federation of ex-Servicemen with a committee headed by Tom Wallace (President) William Noble (Treasurer) and William S. Elliot (Secretary). Their home ground was at the public park in Troon from the Station Hill to the Yorke Road Bridge.

1958 French constitutional referendum A constitutional referendum was held in France on 28 September 1958. Voters were asked whether they approved of the adoption of a constitution for the French Fifth Republic written by Charles de Gaulle. It was overwhelmingly approved, with 82.6% in favour. Voter turnout was 84.9% in Metropolitan France and 79.8% overall. The total includes Overseas departments, Algeria, Sahara, Overseas territories (except Guinea, French Togoland, French Cameroon, French New Hebrides and Wallis and Futuna) and French citizens living abroad.

Bach opened his review with the comment that "If you're unfamiliar with the title phrase of François Recanati's latest book, you'll naturally think he's proposing an alternative to truth-conditional semantics. And you'll be right. But not in the way you'd expect. And not in the way he intends." and summed up by saying "Thanks to Recanati's openness to diverse approaches, his fairness in critically examining competing views, his carefully nuanced argumentation, and his general thoroughness, to my mind the main rewards offered by the book Truth-Conditional Pragmatics can be derived by delving into its details. That's what I recommend doing." For his part, Stanley commented that "the problem with Recanati's appeal to circumstances of evaluation to justify incomplete semantic contents is that it is in tension with much of current linguistic research."

However, the BC Angels were expected to participate in the second Pacific Cup between the Angels and the Seattle Mist scheduled for December 2013. On 3 October, it was announced that the Angels would be replaced in the game by the Los Angeles Temptation, citing not enough preparation, although a few players from the Angels joined the Mist team. The LFL Canada and the BC Angels never returned.

Frank N. Blanchard Frank Nelson Blanchard (December 19, 1888 – September 21, 1937) was an American herpetologist, and professor of zoology at the University of Michigan from which institution he received his Ph.D. He is credited with describing several new subspecies, including the broad-banded water snake, "Nerodia fasciata confluens", and the Florida king snake, "Lampropeltis getula floridana". As well, he has been honored by having reptiles and amphibians named after him, including the western smooth green snake, "Opheodrys vernalis blanchardi", and Blanchard's cricket frog, "Acris crepitans blanchardi". Born in Stoneham, Massachusetts, Blanchard attained his Bachelor of Science in biology from Tufts University in 1913. He received his doctorate in zoology from the University of Michigan in 1919, where he studied with Helen Gaige under Dr. Alexander Grant Ruthven. His thesis was an extensive account of the genus "Lampropeltis", the king snakes. From 1913 until 1916 he taught zoology at Massachusetts State College in Amherst, Massachusetts. In 1918 he became an aide in the division of reptiles for the Smithsonian Institution, working under Leonhard Hess Stejneger until 1920, when he became a zoology professor at the University of Michigan. In 1922 he published "Amphibians and Reptiles of Western Tennessee". For the year of 1927, he took a sabbatical from the university to travel to New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania, primarily to study the tuatara. In 1935 he spent a summer with Howard K. Gloyd, travelling through the southwestern United States, writing a manual of the snakes of the US, which was completed by Gloyd after Blanchard's death. In 1936, Blanchard was elected vice president of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. His most enduring legacy to the field of herpetology is his techniques for studying live animals in the field. In 1922 Blanchard married Frjeda Blanchard (née Cobb), the geneticist who first demonstrated Mendelian inheritance in reptiles. Blanchard is commemorated in the scientific names of four taxa of reptiles (two species and two subspecies).

Rain rates of up to per hour contributed greatly to breaking daily and even monthly rainfall records in the region. The weather station at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport observed all-time record daily rainfall accumulations on both August 26 and 27, measured at and respectively. The total of of rain in August, mostly from Harvey, made that month the wettest ever recorded in Houston, more than doubling the previous record of . Besides Houston, nearly the entirety of southeastern Texas received at least of rain, and an estimated 25–30 percent of Harris County—about of land—was submerged. Louisiana was not spared by Harvey's rains, with peak accumulations at recorded west of Vinton, though radar data indicated that up to of rain likely fell. Elsewhere, Harvey also caused significant flooding in Tennessee where about a foot of rain was recorded. The center of Harvey crossed the coast near Cameron, Louisiana, at 08:00 UTC on August 30 with winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) and a central pressure of 991 mbar (hPa; 29.26 inHg). As the storm moved farther inland, weakening commenced once again and Harvey weakened to a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC on August 31. Consequently, the NHC issued its last advisory on the cyclone three hours later, with further information to be handled by the Weather Prediction Center (WPC). While continuing to generate heavy rainfall, Harvey began to lose its tropical characteristics, ultimately transitioning into an extratropical cyclone at 06:00 UTC on September 1 over the Tennessee Valley. Eventually, what was left of Harvey weakened to the point where the WPC terminated advisories on the storm, which it did at 15:00 UTC the next day. The remnants continued moving northeastwards while interacting with a developing low-pressure area over the Mid-Atlantic, dissipating shortly afterwards over northern Kentucky.

In 1881 he added a glass-roofed gallery to his home at Little Holland House, which was open to the public at weekends, further increasing his fame. In 1884 a selection of 50 of his works were shown at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, believed to have been the first such exhibition by any artist. Mammon originally meant wealth in Aramaic, but from the early days of the Christian Church the name was occasionally used to represent the personification of greed. This notion of Mammon as an individual, rather than an abstract concept, became commonplace in English culture owing to Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene", published in the late 16th century, and later in John Milton's "Paradise Lost" (1667), both of which treated Mammon as an individual exemplar of greed. As was the case with almost all English artists of the period, Watts was heavily influenced by the works of both Spenser and Milton. Watts based "Mammon" on a scene from Book II of "The Faerie Queene" in which the protagonist Guyon encounters Mammon in a cave containing . "Mammon" was one of a series Watts painted at around this time on the theme of the corruption brought about by wealth, including "The Wife of Plutus" (1880s), "Sic Transit" (1880–1882) and "For he had Great Possessions" (1894). Watts depicted Mammon as a corrupted version of traditional images of the gods. This reflected his belief that the worship of wealth was taking the place of traditional beliefs in modern society, and that this attitude, which he described as "the hypocritical veiling of the daily sacrifice made to this deity", was leading to social decay. (His widow, Mary Seton Watts, wrote in 1912 that Watts had said that "Mammon sits supreme, while great art, as a child of the nation, cannot find a place; the seat is not wide enough for both".) Mammon wears gold and scarlet robes, and crushes "whatever is weak and gentle and timid and lovely". Watts aimed to show Mammon not as crushing the weak through deliberate cruelty, but through an indifference to the damage he was causing. His headdress resembles donkey's ears, an allusion to Thomas Carlyle's description of "serious, most earnest Mammonism grown Midas-eared" in "Past and Present". "Mammon" was first exhibited in 1885, under the title of "Mammon Dedicated to his Worshippers".

Mavallipura Mavallipura is a village to the north of Bangalore. A part of the village, about north of the main part of the city was used as an illegal landfill from 2003 to 2015 resulting in an ecological disaster. The village of Mavallipura had about a population of about 4500 with many involved in livestock rearing, grazing sheep, goat and cattle on the common grazing lands. Mavallipura was used from around 2003 to dump about four million tonnes of garbage (at about 1000 tonnes a day in that period) to become a large heap 40 m high and spread over several hectares. n the early years the BBMP paid and signed a contract with a local farmer to dump garbage on his site, and it was discovered later that the land on which they dumped actually belonged to the Karnataka Forest Department. A larger plot of former grazing land was later leased out to a company called Ramky. The landfill was then operated by Ramky and garbage came from the Bangalore metropolitan authority or BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike). The company was set up in a position to handle 500 tons per day but even in the early days the inputs were as much as 1000 tons/day and rose to an estimated 3600 tons/day in 2015. The garbage production of the city rose to 4500 tons per day in 2017. The site was not identified by any administrative body based on public discussions and it was within the catchment of the Arkavathy river which flows into Kaveri which in turn supplies drinking water to the city of Bangalore. The toxic leachate from the unlined landfill site polluted the local lake and groundwater, resulting in deaths of villagers by kidney failure, cancer, and a range of illnesses. Burning of the garbage produced toxic fumes and flies were a major nuisance. The local population included many dalits and their voices were unheard. The open garbage attracted large scavenging birds like black kites resulted in a birdhit that caused the death of a pilot and posed a constant risk to Indian Air Force aircraft landing at the Yelahanka airbase. Livestock morbidity was high and after numerous complaints, the Karnataka Pollution Control Board took notice in 2012 and passed an order to stop the dumping. This resulted in garbage accumulation within the city of Bangalore and a crisis was recognized in 2014. However the dumping continued and in August 2015, a protester from the village, which had decided to blockade the garbage trucks, died of shock after facing police.

This mode is more economical for large networks with lightly loaded signaling links. The quasi-associated mode of signaling is the predominant choice of modes in North America. SS7 separates signaling from the voice circuits. An SS7 network must be made up of SS7-capable equipment from end to end in order to provide its full functionality. The network can be made up of several link types (A, B, C, D, E, and F) and three signaling nodes – Service Switching Points (SSPs), Signal Transfer Points (STPs), and Service Control Points (SCPs). Each node is identified on the network by a number, a signaling point code. Extended services are provided by a database interface at the SCP level using the SS7 network. The links between nodes are full-duplex 56, 64, 1,536, or 1,984 kbit/s graded communications channels. In Europe they are usually one (64 kbit/s) or all (1,984 kbit/s) timeslots (DS0s) within an E1 facility; in North America one (56 or 64 kbit/s) or all (1,536 kbit/s) timeslots (DS0As or DS0s) within a T1 facility. One or more signaling links can be connected to the same two endpoints that together form a signaling link set. Signaling links are added to link sets to increase the signaling capacity of the link set. In Europe, SS7 links normally are directly connected between switching exchanges using F-links. This direct connection is called "associated signaling". In North America, SS7 links are normally indirectly connected between switching exchanges using an intervening network of STPs. This indirect connection is called "quasi-associated signaling", which reduces the number of SS7 links necessary to interconnect all switching exchanges and SCPs in an SS7 signaling network. SS7 links at higher signaling capacity (1.536 and 1.984 Mbit/s, simply referred to as the 1.5 Mbit/s and 2.0 Mbit/s rates) are called high speed links (HSL) in contrast to the low speed (56 and 64 kbit/s) links. High speed links are specified in ITU-T Recommendation Q.703 for the 1.5 Mbit/s and 2.0 Mbit/s rates, and ANSI Standard T1.111.3 for the 1.536 Mbit/s rate.

Mick Pointer Michael "Mick" Pointer (born 22 July 1956), originally from Brill, Buckinghamshire, England, is an English drummer. He is known for his work in the neo-progressive rock bands Marillion and Arena. Pointer was the original drummer and a founding member of Marillion. He appeared on the band's debut EP "Market Square Heroes" (1982) and debut LP "Script for a Jester's Tear" (1983). He and the band parted ways following the album's UK tour and was ultimately replaced by Ian Mosley. In an interview with Marko's Marillion Museum in July 2019, Mick Pointer gave one of his longest and most detailed conversations on his complete career, including many anecdotes from the pre history of Marillion. Pointer's passion for music grew after hearing his brothers copy of Deep Purple's Machine Head, he set his heart on playing live music, and after playing in a local band Pointer joined Electric Gypsy. The band consisted of Alan King (vocals) Doug Irvine (Bass) Andy Glass (Guitar) and Pointer himself on drums. They were mostly a covers band, but Pointer had bigger ideas and wanted to play a more Progessive style of music, so Electric Gypsy were short lived, but Pointer and Doug Irvine had similar tastes and they decided to form their own band. That band was SilMarillion, the name was Pointer's suggestion after seeing Irvine's copy of the J. R. R. Tolkien book at their home in Long Marston. SilMarillion soon added Brian Jelliman on keyboards and Steve Rothery on guitar. They soon dropped the "Sil" and became just Marillion. This line up wrote unpublished songs like "Alice" and "Lady Fantasy" that still resonate with older fans of the band even today. After his unscheduled departure from Marillion, Pointer did not perform music for another ten years and instead started a kitchen designer business, something he had served an apprenticeship in as a teenager, but after this hiatus he decided to come back to the music business refreshed and ready to prove his critics wrong. Like a phoenix from the flames Pointer has built a long and successful career working with Arena, in which he has played with a number of top British musicians. Pointer continues to record and tour extensively with Arena, who have a string of critically acclaimed albums and they are regulars at top festivals around Europe. Pointer later gathered a band for "Mick Pointer's "Script for a Jester's Tear" tour", comprising Brian Cummings (Carpet Crawlers) on vocals, Nick Barrett (Pendragon) on lead guitar, Mike Varty (Credo) on keyboards and Ian Salmon (Arena) on bass guitar, to perform Marillion's debut album for its 25th anniversary.

From the riders that began the race, 133 made it to the finish in Milan. The teams entering the race were: The starting peloton did include the previous year's winner Gianni Bugno. Claudio Chiappucci was believed to be in great form coming into the race. According to Paolo Viberti of "El País", Bugno came in as the odds on favorite to win the race. Going into the race, it was widely believe that the winner would be either Chiappucci or Bugno. Despite being favored to win the race, Bugno entered the race with no victories to his name that season. American Greg LeMond told the press he planned to be more competitive at this Giro than he had in years past. Other favorites to win the race were Laurent Fignon, Pedro Delgado, and Marino Lejarreta. Mario Cipollini, despite a poor showing that Tour de Romandie, was viewed as the sprinter to watch for the estimated ten stages that could result in a bunch sprint. Notable absences included 1988 winner Andrew Hampsten, Dutch rider Erik Breukink, and Maurizio Fondriest. The route for the 1991 edition of the Giro d'Italia was revealed to the public on television by head organizer Vincenzo Torriani, on 1 December 1990. It contained three time trial events, all of which were individual. There were twelve stages containing thirty-nine categorized climbs, of which five had summit finishes: stage 12, to Monviso; stage 13, to Sestriere; stage 15, to Aprica; stage 16, to Selva di Val Gardena; and stage 17, to Passo Pordoi. The organizers chose to include one rest day, which was used to transfer the riders from Cagliari to Sorrento. When compared to the previous year's race, the race was shorter, contained one more rest day, and the same number of individual time trials and split-stages. The race covered in time trail stages. In addition, this race contained one more stage. The race started on the island of Sardinia for the first time in race history and stayed on the island for three days of racing. Capodacqua of "La Repubblica" believed that the route favored a rider that could defend well and put in a good time during the uphill time trial. "La Stampa" writer Gianni Ranieri felt the two non-uphill time trials would favor Gianni Bugno, while the up-hill time trial could be a place where Claudio Chiappucci could gain time on the field.

This meant the X330 carried a much smaller price premium over the standard models, as compared to its predecessor. This mid-1995 model change also includes a revision in the rear suspension that allowed adjustment of toe-in. The XJR was introduced as a high-performance sport model, and it was Jaguar's first-ever supercharged road car (and only the second Jaguar road car to use forced induction, after the turbocharged Jaguar XJ220.) The output of the six-cylinder AJ16 engine was increased to and with the use of an Eaton M90 supercharger and an air-water intercooler. The acceleration time was generally around the 5.7 to 6.4 second mark. The XJR was fitted with larger 17" wheels, compared to 16" on the rest of the range, along Pirelli P-Zero tyres, firmer suspension and a taller 3.27:1 differential. Although the Getrag manual gearbox was standard, almost all XJRs were built with the optional GM 4L80-E automatic gearbox. Cosmetically, the XJR differed from the standard cars with a body-coloured grille surround, mesh grille insert, body-coloured boot-lid plinth, larger exhaust outlets, special five-spoke "Sport" alloy wheels, and "XJR" badging. Rain gutters and window surrounds were matte black, except on North American models where they were polished stainless steel. This generation of the XJR model carries the code name "X306". It is also sometimes referred to as the "XJR6" to differentiate it from the later V8-engined X308 XJR. The XJ12 model (which, along with the short wheel base Daimler Double Six, carries the code name "X305") featured the same trim level of the Sovereign, but was powered by the 6.0 L version of the Jaguar V12 engine. It is visually differentiated by the rear boot-lid "XJ12" badge, a "V12" insignia inlaid on the passenger-side dashboard wood panel, a "V12" badge on each B-pillar, chromed door mirrors and a gold-coloured Jaguar crest at the top of the radiator grille surround. Only available transmission was a 4-speed automatic GM 4L80-E. In the US market, this generation of the XJ12 was available only as model years 1995 (which were all short-wheelbase) and 1996 (which were all long).

John Martin (judge) John Martin (1784 – October 17, 1840) was a notable judge of the Cherokee Tribal Court. He was a highly educated member of the tribe, although he was only one-eighth Cherokee. A biographer describes him as blond, blue-eyed and a person who could easily pass for white. He had no formal training in law, but he was one of the first men appointed to serve as a judge on the Cherokee Tribal Court, which was established in 1822. After his term as judge ended in 1828, he was addressed as Judge Martin for the rest of his life. He also served the Cherokee Nation as Treasurer, He was also a member of the Cherokee Constitutional Convention that led to the formation of a real national government. In 1837, he removed from Georgia to Indian Territory, where he was elected as the first Chief Justice of the newly created Cherokee Supreme Court in 1839. He served until his death the following year. John's mother was Susannah Emory, a one-quarter Cherokee who had been raised among the tribe. Susannah's grandfather was Ludovic Grant, a Scottish trader. Grant had married a full-blooded Cherokee woman. The Grants had a daughter who married William Emory and bore Susannah. Susannah was raised in the Cherokee culture. Her first husband was Captain John Stuart, an officer in the colonial army during the French-Indian War and an Indian agent during the American Revolution. Susannah married again to Richard Fields, a mixed blood Cherokee, with whom she had seven children. Therefore, the marriage to John Martin Sr. was her third. John Martin Sr. and Susannah had three children: John Martin Jr., Nancy, and Rachael. John Sr., was a trader who had previously served as a captain in the American Revolution. His father was John (Jack) Martin, Senior, a white man who was reportedly the brother of General Joseph Martin. It is unclear where the future judge was born. Some accounts claim he was born in what is now Tennessee, while others claim he was born in the present state of Georgia. Jack Martin evidently became a prosperous trader. Rather than sending his son away to school at an early age,he hired a tutor to educate his son at home. Jack Martin died about 1800 or 1801. His widow died while John Jr. was a teenager. Then, he went to live with a sister named Nancy and her husband, James Lynch. At some point, young John went away to school, in order to complete his formal education.

The Best of Tex Perkins The Best of Tex Perkins: Songs from My Black Cattle Dog is a greatest hits album by Australian singer-songwriter Tex Perkins. The album includes solo tracks as well as The Cruel Sea and Tex, Don and Charlie tracks and was released in August 2009. The album was supported by a national tour. The title "Songs from My Black Cattle Dog" is a creative blunder when someone misheard Tex saying songs from "my back catalogue". Lyn Harder from The Dwarf said "Have you been thinking of getting a Tex Perkins record but not sure which one to get? Well, this album is for you." adding "This is Tex revealing certain aspects of his life as well as certain philosophical grabs of his life. Tex did choose the songs for this best of compilation and he says they are self analytical and rather honest in lyric content." Iain Shedden from The Australian said "The best-of collection ... focuses largely on his balladeering solo output. It represents a large and impressive body of work that has earned plenty of plaudits, albeit without troubling the charts."

German chancellor Gerhard Schröder sent forces to Afghanistan as part of NATO operations of the U.S.led war in Afghanistan because due to Germany having a long experience with terrorism itself, Schröder declared solidarity with the United States after the September 11 attacks in 2001. When Schröder left office, Germany had 2,000 troops in Afghanistan, the largest contingent from any nation other than the United States, UK, France, Canada and after two years Afghanistan. However, relations with Germany became strained, after Schröder later spoke out strongly against the 2003 invasion of Iraq and refused any military assistance in that enterprise. Schröder's stance caused political friction between the US and Germany, in particular because he used this topic for his 2002 election campaign. Schröder's stance set the stage for alleged anti-American statements by members of the SPD. The parliamentary leader of the SPD, Ludwig Stiegler, compared US President George W. Bush to Julius Caesar while Schröder's Minister of Justice, Herta Däubler-Gmelin, likened Bush's foreign policy to that of Adolf Hitler. Schröder's critics accused him of enhancing, and campaigning on, anti-American sentiments in Germany. After his 2002 re-election, Schröder and Bush rarely met and their animosity was seen as a widening political gap between the US and Europe. Bush stated in his memoirs that Schröder initially promised to support the Iraq war but changed his mind with the upcoming German elections and public opinion strongly against the invasion, to which Schröder responded saying that Bush was "not telling the truth". When asked in March 2003 if he were at all self-critical about his position on Iraq, Schröder replied, "I very much regret there were excessive statements" from himself and former members of his government (which capitalised on the war's unpopularity). President Bush enjoyed a strong relationship with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Italy, with Berlusconi in office, became a solid ally of the United States due to his support in deploying Italian troops in the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War following the 2003 invasion of Iraq in the War on Terror. On 30 January 2003, Berlusconi signed "The letter of the eight" supporting US. policy on Iraq. Berlusconi, in his meetings with United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and U.S. President George W. Bush, said that he pushed for "a clear turnaround in the Iraqi situation" and for a quick handover of sovereignty to the government chosen by the Iraqi people.

Deth Specula Deth Specula is a Santa Cruz "neo-bronto" five-piece rock band. Deth Specula was one of the first ten bands on The Internet Underground Music Archive and used the Internet to broadcast a live music concert from the Cowell Courtyard at the SCO Forum held on the University of California in Santa Cruz on August 23, 1994. This was the first time a live music concert was broadcast over the Internet and the second netcast ever. The first song ever broadcast in a live concert over the Internet was "Internet Band", a Deth Specula parody of the Grand Funk Railroad song "We're An American Band". Deth Specula was a 1990s band with roots in early 1970s hard rock and style drawing on 1980s punk pop. They began as a punk parody band and later developed into "neo-bronto" rock. The bassist, Jon Luini is one of the three founders of the Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA), a pioneering online music website formed in 1993. Deth Specula formed in 1989 to create a rock video parody of the Sex Pistols song Anarchy in the U.K. called "Anarchy at SCO" for use in the SCO Follies, a company sponsored musical comedy revue produced each year by the employees. Deth Specula continued to make video parodies for the SCO Follies in subsequent years and branched out into playing at local night clubs. On March 9, 1994 CNN used the Deth Specula original "Careening Continental" as the lead in and out for their "Showbiz News" segment on IUMA. On August 23, 1994 the band broadcast a live concert over the Mbone. In 1995 they played in the UniForum Battle of the Bands in Dallas, Texas. Over time Deth Specula became more of an original rock and ballad band than a parody group although they retained their sense of humor as evidenced by originals like "Baboon Liver", "Crop Killer", "Reagan Mask", "Gutterslut", and "Get Even More". Deth Specula performed at the Cocoanut Grove in Santa Cruz, California on February 2, 2008 for the Bruce Steinberg memorial. It's A Beautiful Day opened for them. Deth Specula is currently not performing.

He retired from the Greyston Foundation in 1996 to pursue socially engaged Buddhist projects through the Zen Peacemakers. As of 2004 the Foundation had developed $35 million worth in real estate development projects in Westchester County, New York. The Foundation offers HIV/AIDS programs, provides job training and housing, child care services, educational opportunities, and other endeavors. In 2003 the bakery moved to a new building, which allows for higher output and more employment opportunities. In 1996 Glassman, with his wife Sandra Jishu Holmes, founded the Zen Peacemaker Order. According to professor Christopher S. Queen, "The order is based on three principles: plunging into the unknown, bearing witness to the pain and joy of the world, and a commitment to heal oneself and the world." Richard Hughes Seager writes, "The Zen Peacemaker Order...has the potential to rival Thich Nhat Hanh's groups and the Buddhist Peace Fellowship as a force in American activism." Glassman died on November 4, 2018 from complications of a stroke in Springfield, Massachusetts at the age of 79. Glassman taught about what his teacher, the late Taizan Maezumi, called the "unknowing." Not-knowing is the first tenet of the Zen Peacemakers, and Glassman said of it, "In Zen the words source and essence are the equivalent of Unknowing, and they come up again and again. We have the absolute and the relative perspectives about life, and Unknowing is the one source of both of these." Also, Glassman was known for his many "street retreats." Author James Ishmael Ford writes, "...'street retreats,' for instance, moves sesshin into the streets: participants eat in soup kitchens, and, if they know they're not displacing homeless people, sleep in homeless shelters or, otherwise, sleep in public places. Zazen takes place in parks." In the 2000s, Glassman developed an experiment in sociocratic consensus-based zen training and interfaith facilitation, known initially as Peacemaker Circle International, and later Zen Peacemaker Circles. Interconnected projects were established globally, replacing the role of 'Zen teacher' with participants learning from each other and sharing ideas between Circles. In his last years, having disrobed from the priesthood, Glassman together with his wife Eve Marko continued the work of his teacher Koryu Osaka Roshi in developing lay forms of Zen practice. Bernie Glassman appointed several "senseis" and "roshis" in traditional zen, and established the non-hierarchical roles of 'Steward' and 'Circle Dharmaholder' as coordinators and visionholders to continue the Zen Peacemaker Circles model.

Cameron had intended to have "I See You" released as single, as he thought it was capable of matching the success of Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", however Lewis expressed her reluctancy in the choice as she had only released the lead single from "Echo", "Happy", the month before. "I See You" is a pop ballad, which lasts for a duration of four minutes and 20 seconds. It was composed in the key of A# minor using common time and a slow groove at 72 beats per minute, with a melody based on the main Na'vi leitmotif from the film's score. Lewis' vocal range spans two octaves, from the low note of F3 to the high note of F5, on the song. Ben Child for "The Guardian" likened the lyrics "I offer my life as a sacrifice and live through your love" to those performed by Dion in "My Heart Will Go On". The lyrics are about encouraging a person to open their eyes and envisage a new and different world, and develop a new way of thinking. According to Lewis, the inspiration behind the song was all of the emotion, love and strength that is displayed by the characters in the film. "I See You" garnered a mixed response from music critics. Brian Linder for IGN praised Horner for asking Lewis to perform "I See You", describing her as a "vocal powerhouse," but was unsure if the song would manage to achieve the same success as Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". Hoberman for "The Village Voice" wrote that the closing credits features Lewis as a "Celine Dion clone singing in Na'vi." The music video for "I See You" was directed by Jake Nava and premiered on Myspace on 15 December 2009. Nava stated that it was important to him to create a world for Lewis to perform in for the video, which he described as "sexy and modern" but also complementary to the film. He continued to say that it need to be "futuristic" but retain the naturalness of what is featured in "Avatar". The inspiration for the ultra-violet forest and the light piercing through the canopies of the trees in the video came from the film itself, which were re-created in a controlled studio environment. Nava went to visit Cameron in his studio to choose clips from the film which would be included intercut with Lewis in the video. Lewis performed "I See You" for the first time on the season six series finale of "So You Think You Can Dance" in the United States on 16 December 2009.

In all cases, the character was voiced by David McCharen. The Shredder's costume was, in the first movie, originally the same as in the original comic, with a red color. However, this was changed in the sequel to a violet color, reflecting the more cartoonish nature of the second film. In both movies, he also had a silver and black cape. In both films, he is served by his second-in-command Tatsu. In the Japanese versions, the Shredder is voiced by Norio Wakamoto (1st movie in VHS version), Hidekatsu Shibata (first movie in TV version), and Takeshi Watabe (second movie). In the first movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi were rival martial artists in Japan and both loved a woman named Tang Shen. Shen, who loved only Yoshi, persuaded him not to fight Saki honorably; instead, they fled for the United States. Saki followed them to New York City; when Yoshi returned home from his construction job he found his beloved Shen lying on the floor. And then, he saw her killer. Saki wasted no words and during the struggle, Splinter's cage was broken. Splinter leaped up into Saki's face, biting and clawing. But Saki threw him to the floor and took one swipe with his katana, slicing Splinter's ear. After this incident, it was said that Saki is never heard from again. The comic book adaptation of the film retains the original comic book origin story, with Oroku Nagi being slain and Saki coming to America to seek vengeance. Saki, in the "Shredder" persona, establishes an American branch of the Foot Clan. With the aid of his second-in-command Tatsu, he manipulates and recruits troubled teens as a brutal yet Machiavellian leader and father figure, teaching them ninjitsu to make them into skilled thieves and assassins. Shredder sends the Foot Clan to "silence" April O'Neil when she reports on the Foot Clan's connection to the recent crime wave, inadvertently leading them to the Turtles' hideout when Raphael saves April. Shredder had Splinter kidnapped and imprisoned him in his warehouse hideout, and has the Foot Clan hunt the Turtles. He beats Splinter while interrogating him about how the Turtles learned their fighting techniques. After the Turtles successfully defeat the Foot Clan in a final assault, Shredder confronts them on a rooftop.

God appraises Adam and Eve most of all his creations, and appoints them to rule over all the creatures of the world and to reside in the Garden of Eden. Adam is more gregarious than Eve, and yearns for her company. His complete infatuation with Eve, while pure of itself, eventually contributes to his deciding to join her in disobedience to God. Unlike the biblical Adam, before Milton's Adam leaves Paradise he is given a glimpse of the future of mankind by the Archangel Michael—including a synopsis of stories from the Old and New Testaments. Eve is the second human created by God, who takes one of Adam's ribs and shapes it into a female form of Adam. Not the traditional model of a good wife, Milton's Eve is often unwilling to be submissive towards Adam. She is the more intelligent of the two and more curious about external ideas than her husband. Though happy, she longs for knowledge, specifically for self-knowledge. (Her first act in existence is to turn away from Adam to look at and ponder her own reflection.) Eve is beautiful and though she loves Adam she may feel suffocated by his constant presence. In Book IX, she convinces Adam to separate for a time and work in different parts of the Garden. In her solitude, she is tempted by Satan to sin against God by eating of the Tree of Knowledge. Soon thereafter, Adam follows Eve in support of her act. The Son of God is the spirit who will become incarnate as Jesus Christ, though he is never named explicitly because he has not yet entered human form. Milton believed in a subordinationist doctrine of Christology that regarded the Son as secondary to the Father and as God's "great Vice-regent" (5.609). Milton's God in "Paradise Lost" refers to the Son as "My word, my wisdom, and effectual might" (3.170). The poem is not explicitly anti-trinitarian, but it is consistent with Milton's convictions. The Son is the ultimate hero of the epic and is infinitely powerful—he single-handedly defeats Satan and his followers and drives them into Hell. After their fall, the Son of God tells Adam and Eve about God's judgment: He, the Son, volunteers to journey into the World and become a man himself; then he redeems the Fall of Man through his own sacrificial death and resurrection. In the final scene, a vision of Salvation through the Son of God is revealed to Adam by Michael.

María Luisa Elío María Luisa Elío Bernal (17 August 1926 – 17 July 2009) was a Spanish writer and actress exiled in Mexico. She was an inspiration for Gabriel García Márquez. She wrote and acted in an autobiographical film, "El balcón vacío" (The Empty Balcony), which was one of the first films to depict the life of Spanish exiles during the Spanish Civil War. Born in Pamplona on 17 August 1926, María Luisa was the third and last daughter of Luis Elío Torres and Carmen Bernal López de Lago, who had married in 1920. Her father, a lawyer and judge, suffered for his left-wing tendencies during the Spanish Civil War and was imprisoned, but managed to escape. In late 1939 he was smuggled to the border, and after a brief time in the Gurs concentration camp, he made his way to Paris and was reunited with his family. On February 16, 1940, they departed for Mexico. María Luisa, an intelligent, glamorous woman, studied drama, became involved in cultural and literary circles and married Jomí García Ascot, also the child of exiles, in 1952. After arriving in Mexico, Elío began studying drama with Seki Sano, a Japanese exile living in Mexico. She was a member of the group Poetry Out Loud and published poetry works in newspapers and magazines. She also wrote short stories, screenplays and performed on Mexican television. In 1960, her husband was invited to go to Cuba and participate in a film, "Cuba 58" being filmed there. Originally five segments were planned for the film, but the final composition contains only three, two of which were created by García Ascot. García planned a new project, a musical comedy in the style of "West Side Story", but had to abandon the project as the political situation in Cuba deteriorated. The couple returned to Mexico and began working in a collaboration with Emilio García Riera to produce one of the first films about Spanish exiles. The film, "El bacón vacío" (The Empty Balcony) is Elío's autobiographical story and she wrote the script of the film. She also acted in the film. Shooting only on weekends because the trio all had regular jobs, the film took a year to produce and was not a commercial success, though it did win awards. Elío and her husband were personal friends of the writer Gabriel García Márquez and his masterwork, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was dedicated to them with the inscription, “Para (to) Jomí García Ascot y María Luisa Elío”.

Vachellia drepanolobium Vachellia drepanolobium (syn. Acacia drepanolobium), commonly known as whistling thorn (family Fabaceae), is a swollen-thorn acacia native to East Africa. The whistling thorn grows up to 6 meters tall. It produces a pair of straight spines at each node, some of which have large bulbous bases. These swollen spines are naturally hollow and occupied by any one of several symbiotic ant species. The common name of the plant is derived from the observation that when wind blows over bulbous spines in which ants have made entry/exit holes, they create a whistling noise. Whistling thorn is the dominant tree in some areas of upland East Africa, sometimes forming a nearly monoculture woodland, especially on "black cotton" soils of impeded drainage with high clay content. It is browsed upon by giraffes and other large herbivores. It is apparently fire-adapted, coppicing readily after "top kill" by fire. Whistling thorn is used as fencing, tool handles, and other implements. The wood of the whistling thorn, although usually small in diameter, is hard and resistant to termites. The branches can also be used for kindling, and its gum is sometimes collected and used as glue. The ability to coppice after cutting make it a possibly sustainable source for fuel wood and charcoal. Conversely, whistling thorn also has been considered a weed of rangelands, and a bush encroachment species. Like other acacias, whistling thorns have leaves that contain tannins, which are thought to serve as deterrents to herbivory. Like all African acacias, they are defended by spines. In addition, Whistling thorn acacias are myrmecophytes that have formed a mutualistic relationship with some species of ants. In exchange for shelter in the bulbous spines (domatia) and nectar secretions, these ants appear to defend the tree against herbivores, such as elephants and giraffes, as well as herbivorous insects. At one site in Kenya, three "Crematogaster" and one "Tetraponera" ant species compete for exclusive possession of individual whistling thorn trees: "Crematogaster mimosae", "C. sjostedti", "C. nigriceps", and "Tetraponera penzigi".

Bellum Batonianum The Bellum Batonianum () was a military conflict fought in the Roman province of Illyricum in the 1st century AD, in which an alliance of native peoples of the two regions of Illyricum, Dalmatia and Pannonia, revolted against the Romans. The rebellion began among native peoples who had been recruited as auxiliary troops for the Roman army. They were led by Bato the Daesitiate, a chieftain of the Daesitiatae in the central part of present-day Bosnia, and were later joined by the Breuci, a tribe in Pannonia led by Bato the Breucian. Many other tribes in Illyria also joined the revolt. The Romans referred to the conflict as "Bellum Batonianum" ("Batonian War") after these two leaders with the same name; Velleius Paterculus called it the Pannonian and Dalmatian War because it involved both regions of Illyricum, and in English it has also been called the Great Illyrian Revolt, Pannonian–Dalmatian uprising, and Bato uprising. The four-year war lasted from AD 6 to AD 9 and witnessed a large deployment of Roman forces in the province, with whole armies operating across the western Balkans and fighting on more than one front. In AD 8, the Breuci of the Sava valley surrendered, but it took a winter blockade and another season of fighting before the surrender in Dalmatia in AD 9. The Roman historian Suetonius described the uprising as the most difficult conflict faced by Rome since the Punic Wars two centuries earlier. Illyricum had seen some fighting during the Great Roman Civil War between Julius Caesar and the forces of the Senate led by Pompey several decades earlier. The Romans who lived in some of the coastal towns supported Caesar, while the native peoples largely supported Pompey. Quintus Cornificius, a Caesarian, repulsed Quintus Octavius, a Pompeian. The Dalmatians routed Aulus Gabinius, a Caesarian who had been ordered by Caesar to join Cornificius in Illyricum. The Dalmatians later asked Caesar for pardon. Caesar demanded a tribute and hostages as compensation, which was standard practice, and sent Publius Vatinius with three legions to enforce this. After Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, the Dalmatians ignored these demands and routed five of Vatinius' cohorts.

Netherlands Reformed Churches The Netherlands Reformed Churches are a conservative Reformed Protestant Christian denomination in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The denomination came into existence in 1967 out of a schism within the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated). The history of the Netherlands Reformed Churches (Dutch "Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken") coincides to a great extent with that of the Reformed Churches (Liberated), of which it was a part until the early 1960s. That denomination arose out of a conflict within the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands over the covenant and the power of the general synod. After that schism, referred to as the "Liberation" (Dutch "Vrijmaking"), the Liberated churches became a very conservative, orthodox denomination. Wary of the liberal tendencies within various Reformed denominations, they started to develop a number of cultural and political structures and institutes, membership in which was restricted to church members. Some within the church held the view that the Liberated church was the only true church in the Netherlands, implying that all other Christians were in violation of God's command to be joined to God's covenant people. A sizeable group disagreed with this view. In 1964 the disagreement came to a head, when Rev. Van der Ziel was accused of errors in his teaching and found guilty by the synod of the Reformed Churches (Liberated), which defrocked him. Many members protested against this measure and in 1966 they drew up an open letter with a petition to voice their protest. However, local church councils responded by excommunicating members who signed the petition. Those members, and many who followed them voluntarily, formed a new group. This federation of Reformed Churches was referred to as "buitenverbanders" (literally, "those outside the denomination") until 1979, when the current name Netherlands Reformed Churches was adopted. In teaching, the "Netherlands Reformed Churches" are in many ways an orthodox Reformed Church. They hold to the traditional confessions of the ancient church (the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed, and the Athanasian Creed), as well as the Three Forms of Unity. As a Calvinist church, they practice infant baptism. However, the denomination is very loosely organised. As a result of the bad experiences with synodical authority, the local congregations have much more power, and the general synod much less, than in most other Reformed churches. Thus there are many variations and differences between local congregations.

Antibody testing can also support medical professionals in deciding which staff take on the riskiest tasks (for example, intubating infected patients) as they can identify healthcare workers who have been exposed and are immune.

Most producers of Musigny also happen to own or exploit land in Bonnes Mares. There are two dozen Premier Cru vineyards, most at least of good quality. One bears special mention, however. Les Amoureuses, a small 5.4 ha climat is considered better than the other 23 Premiers Crus. It is generally considered to be a very close sibling to Musigny itself, with perhaps less longevity and less all-out power; but one which is closer in style to Musigny than Bonnes Mares. The wines tend to be very expensive like a Grand Cru as well and most producers blessed enough to own a parcel of this tiny vineyard enjoy high incomes.

Ponabalia Massacre Ponabalia Massacre was the mass murder of 20 Bengali Muslims in Ponabalia by members of the British Indian Police on orders of the district magistrate on 7 March 1927. On 7 March 1927, Bengali Hindus were going towards the Ponabalia Shiva temple in a procession on the occasion of Shivaratri in Ponabalia, Nalchity, Jhalokati District, Barisal Division, East Bengal, British India. The procession was singing Sankirtan and beating drums. The processions was passing by a mosque where Muslims were praying. The Muslims asked to the Hindus to observe silence, which they refused. The Muslims tried to stop the procession by creating a human barricade. Satindranath Sen, an Satyagraha activist, asked the Hindus to perform Sankirtan louder. The e District Magistrate, E. N. Blandy, and Superintendent of Police, Taylor rushed to the scene along with a Police force. The Muslims were unable to communicate with the British officials as they were illiterate. So they tried to communicate to the officers through hand gestures that they would rather die than have their prayers disturbed. The Hindus who were literate and could speak English, told the officers that the Muslims wanted to kill them. Blandy, misled, ordered the police to fire, killing 20 Muslims and more wounded. Other reports suggested a Muslim speared a police officer. Few days later the All Bengal Muslim Conference called for inquiry commission into the incident. The commission was formed and it submitted a report, which was never published. The incident has been called an evidence of communal disharmony during the post-Noncooperation in rural Bengal and was highlighted by the Muslim press.

Kyven Gadson Kyven Ross Gadson (born July 9, 1992) is an American amateur wrestler. Currently a senior competitor in amateur freestyle wrestling, earlier Gadson, while wrestling for the Iowa State Cyclones, was a three-time All-American in NCAA Division I collegiate wrestling and won the 2015 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in the 197-lb weight class by pinning future Olympic and World Championship gold medalist Kyle Snyder in his final collegiate match. Wrestling for Waterloo East High School in Waterloo, Iowa, Gadson compiled a prep record of 113-12. In his sophomore season, he finished as the runner-up at the Iowa state wrestling tournament in the 145-lb weight class. Gadson was undefeated in both a junior and senior, winning the Iowa state wrestling tournament in the 171-lb and 189-lb weight classes, respectively. He finished his senior season ranked as the sixth-best high school wrestler in the nation at the 189-lb weight class by both the Amateur Wrestling News (AWN) and Intermat. In high school, Gadson was coached by his father William "Willie" Gadson, a former Iowa State Cyclone NCAA Division I collegiate wrestling All-American. Additionally, Gadson was the 2011 FILA Junior freestyle national champion at 96-kg, 2009 FILA Cadet freestyle national champion at 85-kg, the 2009 Northern Plains Junior Freestyle champion, the ASICS Folkstyle Nationals champion at 152-lb in 2008, the runner-up in the 2008 USAW Preseason Nationals, finished fifth at the 2007 USAW Cadet Folkstyle Nationals, and was a Greco-Roman and freestyle state champion as a high school sophomore. During the 2010-11 season of NCAA Division I collegiate wrestling for the Iowa State Cyclones (ISU), Gadson redshirted. While wrestling unattached, Gadson was the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open tournament champion. During the 2011-12 season, Gadson's redshirt freshman collegiate wrestling season was cut short by an injury to his shoulder suffered in the first period of his first match wrestling for the Cyclones against Keldrick Hall in a dual meet against the Oklahoma Sooners. While he would almost assuredly have qualified for a medical hardship redshirt due to being unable to compete in (far) less than 25 percent of the competitive season as a redshirt freshman, Gadson ultimately decided to forego the opportunity for another season of collegiate wrestling that a medical hardship redshirt would have afforded. During the 2012-13 season, Gadson finished his redshirt sophomore season as an All-American by finishing in sixth place at the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in the 197-lb weight class.

Carson Boren Carson Dobbins Boren (December 12, 1824 – August 19, 1912) was an early founder of Seattle, Washington (see Denny Party). His sister Mary Ann was married to Arthur Denny, and his sister Louisa to David Denny. Boren was the first King County Sheriff. Seattle's Boren Avenue is named in his honor. Although he was an important figure in the early years of Seattle, historian Junius Rochester writes that "The pioneering contributions of Carson Dobbins Boren to the founding of Alki (in future West Seattle) and Seattle began and ended within a short period of six years." Carson Boren was born in Nashville, Tennessee. He married Mary Ann Kays (November 6, 1830 – June 21, 1905) on February 18, 1849 at Abingdon, Knox County, Illinois. Their first daughter Sarah E. was born December 17, 1849 but died 17 days later and is buried in the Cherry Grove Cemetery in Knox County. A second daughter, Gertrude Livonia (December 12, 1850 – June 3, 1912), was carried as an infant on the cross-country trek in 1851 with the Denny Party. In 1852, Boren gave Henry Yesler the southern portion of his claim so as to construct Yesler's mill. After erecting the first home in what would become downtown Seattle (the previous structures had been at Alki), the couple participated in the early life of Seattle and had two more children, William Richard (October 4, 1854 – January 19, 1899) and Mary Louise (May 3, 1857 – January 1, 1926). In 1855 they sold this property, along with a claim extending uphill from the waterfront between what are now James and Marion Streets, to Edward Lander and Charles Terry. The couple argued over Carson's constant hunting trips and giveaways, and by 1860 they separated. They were divorced by territorial legislative act December 17, 1861. Their children were raised by the Dennys. Mary Ann went south to The Dalles, Oregon, and established a dressmaking business. There she had another daughter, Lydia Dell Blakeney (January 18, 1869 – October 6, 1921) with John William Blakeney, a divorced man; they married in November 1872, but separated about 1880 and divorced in 1884. Mary Ann and Lydia moved back to Seattle. Mary Ann Boren apparently kept in touch with her children by Carson Boren and lived with her youngest daughter and son-in-law in what is now the International District of Seattle.

As a senior, she won both the AAI American Award and the Honda Sports Award. She was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013. After ending her UCLA career, Bhardwaj returned to elite competition. At the 2001 National Championships, she won the vault title and placed third in the all-around. She was named to the American team for the 2001 World Championships in Ghent, Belgium, where she contributed to the U.S. squad's bronze medal. Individually, she placed 18th in the all-around and 7th in the vault event final. In 2002, she suffered a dislocated elbow and retired for a year before deciding to return to training in 2003. Off the national team and running low on funds, she took odd jobs, such as waitressing and delivering pizzas, to pay for her training and personal expenses. By 2004, she was in debt and could not afford to attend the Olympic Trials and other competitions. "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson, who learned of Bhardwaj's situation when she purchased a raffle ticket on her behalf, became a personal supporter and gave Bhardwaj $20,000 for her training expenses. At the 2004 Nationals, Bhardwaj placed a disappointing 12th in the all-around, only securing the final spot in the Olympic Trials when Ashley Postell fell on bars. But she went on to finish sixth at the Trials, earning an invitation to the subsequent closed-door selection camp. There, she impressed national team coordinator Márta Károlyi and the other selectors enough not only to earn a place on the team, but to be named its captain. Her strength and consistency on vault were expected to add balance to a team already formidable on beam and bars, but at the Olympics, she placed 20th on vault and failed to qualify for the event final. Bhardwaj was the only American to qualify for the floor final at the Olympics, where she finished in sixth place. She finished eighth all-around in qualifying, behind teammates Carly Patterson (1st) and Courtney Kupets (4th), but was not among the 24 gymnasts to advance because of a rule limiting each country to two competitors in the final. Bhardwaj was the only gymnast in the top ten in qualifications who did not make the all-around final. In the team final, however, she was integral to the team's silver-medal effort: In addition to improving her vault from preliminaries and performing a strong floor exercise, she filled in on beam at the last minute when Kupets decided to sit it out because of a leg injury.

The Wraith (1957 film) The Wraith is a live television comedy play presented on Australian television in 1957. Broadcast on ABC, it was originally telecast in Sydney, and shown in Melbourne via a kinescope recording. It was made at a time when Australian drama was rare. Duration was 30 minutes, in black and white. It was written by W. Graeme-Holder, and had previously been presented on radio during the 1930s. It is not known if the kinescope recording of the television version is still extant. "The Wraith" is the name of a mysterious burglar. Two gentlemen, John and James, are burgling the London flat of Madeleine Bloom, a wealthy actor. They are interrupted by a lady who accuses them of trespass. The play was based on a 1936 radio play that was often performed in the late 1930s.

Since then, ext2 has been a testbed for many of the new extensions to the VFS API. Features such as the withdrawn POSIX draft ACL proposal and the withdrawn extended attribute proposal were generally implemented first on ext2 because it was relatively simple to extend and its internals were well understood. On Linux kernels prior to 2.6.17, restrictions in the block driver mean that ext2 filesystems have a maximum file size of 2 TiB. ext2 is still recommended over journaling file systems on bootable USB flash drives and other solid-state drives. ext2 performs fewer writes than ext3 because there is no journaling. As the major aging factor of a flash chip is the number of erase cycles, and as erase cycles happen frequently on writes, decreasing writes increases the life span of the solid-state device. Another good practice for filesystems on flash devices is the use of the "noatime" mount option, for the same reason. The space in ext2 is split up into blocks. These blocks are grouped into block groups, analogous to cylinder groups in the Unix File System. There are typically thousands of blocks on a large file system. Data for any given file is typically contained within a single block group where possible. This is done to minimize the number of disk seeks when reading large amounts of contiguous data. Each block group contains a copy of the superblock and block group descriptor table, and all block groups contain a block bitmap, an inode bitmap, an inode table, and finally the actual data blocks. The superblock contains important information that is crucial to the booting of the operating system. Thus backup copies are made in multiple block groups in the file system. However, typically only the first copy of it, which is found at the first block of the file system, is used in the booting. The group descriptor stores the location of the block bitmap, inode bitmap, and the start of the inode table for every block group. These, in turn, are stored in a group descriptor table. Every file or directory is represented by an inode. The term "inode" comes from "index node" (over time, it became i-node and then inode). The inode includes data about the size, permission, ownership, and location on disk of the file or directory. Example of ext2 inode structure: Quote from the Linux kernel documentation for ext2: "There are pointers to the first 12 blocks which contain the file's data in the inode.

Ignatius Elias III Saint Ignatius Elias III (1867 – 13 February 1932) was the Patriarch of Antioch, and head of the Syriac Orthodox Church from 1917 until his death in 1932. Nasri was born in 1867 in the city of Mardin, son of Chorepiscopus Abraham and Mary, and had four brothers and three sisters. He was cared for by his eldest sister Helena upon the death of his mother, and as a teenager he worked as a goldsmith. He also worked for the Ottoman government for three months. Following the direction of Patriarch Ignatius Peter IV, Nasri joined the Forty Martyrs Seminary, and in 1887, he joined the Monastery of Mor Hananyo near Mardin and was ordained deacon by Peter IV. The following year, Nasri became a novitiate before becoming a monk in 1889, upon which he assumed the name Elias. Elias was ordained priest in 1892 by Peter IV, and during the Massacres of Diyarbakır in 1895, Elias gave refuge to approximately 7000 Armenian refugees in the Monastery of Mor Quryaqos. After this, Elias was appointed Chief of the Monastery of Mor Quryaqos and Monastery of Mor Hananyo. In 1908, Elias was consecrated bishop of Amid by Patriarch Ignatius Abded Aloho II, upon which he took the name Iwanius. In 1912, he was transferred to Mosul where he served until his elevation to the patriarchate in 1917. After the death of the Patriarch Abded Aloho II in 1915, Mor Iwanius was elected Patriarch and assumed the throne in 1917. The decree was issued by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed VI and was confirmed in Elias' visit to Constantinople in 1919, during which he also received the Ismania medal. Elias travelled extensively in 1919 to visit surviving Syriac Orthodox communities in the Middle East in the aftermath of the Assyrian genocide. As a result of the end of the Turkish War of Independence in 1922, Elias was forced to flee the traditional patriarchal residence at the Monastery of Mor Hananyo to Jerusalem where he resided for three months. During this time Elias established a printing press for the church, and in 1925, Elias travelled to Aleppo and Mosul to establish printing presses there also. Elias held a synod in 1930 at the Monastery of Mar Mattai, near Mosul, to restructure the organisation of the church and its dioceses. Later that year, on 1 December, Elias received a request from Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, to help resolve a schism within the Malankara Church.

On their 2002 album, "Harikalar Diyari (Wonderland,)" their dreamy sound features the floaty, mysterious voices of three young Turkish singing sensations, Nil, Bora and the teenage Dilara. In 2013, Wonderland performed at Drom in the Lower East Side, promoted by Serdar Ilhan and the New York-based Turkish educator and promoter, Mehmet Dede, with the support of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Ersahin put "Istanbul Sessions" together as a project for a one-off event at a 2009 art opening in Istanbul with local players, bassist Alp Ersonmez, drummer Turgut Alp Bekoglu, and percussionist Izzet Kizil, which has organically blossomed into a quartet that tours the world. Their first release, "Istanbul Sessions featuring Erik Truffaz," with the noted Swiss-French experimental jazz trumpeter, has a cool acoustic, meditative improvised sound. Stripped down to a quartet, the second Istanbul Sessions release, "Night Rider," (2011) is harder-edged, with a more urban sensibility. Ersahin has described their mission as an attempt to capture the variety and edge of Istanbul's hectic nightlife, and his modal horn inflections mix here with urgent jazz-funk rhythms. As well as Turkey and New York's Lower East Side, various Nublu projects are connected with another spiritual home, Brazil (the home of Ersahin's wife, Fernanda.) Forro in the Dark are four expatriate Brazilians in New York. Like so much around the Nublu scene, they began spontaneously, for a one-off gig at a birthday party at the Nublu club in 2002. They are made up of Mauro Refosco on vocals and zabumba (a Brazilian bass drum worn around the body and played standing up); Davi Vieira on vocals and timbau (a Brazilian drum typical of Bahia); Guilherme Monteiro on guitar and vocals; and Jorge Continentino on , (a wooden flute from Northeastern Brazil,) baritone sax and vocals. Jorge and Guilherme come from a jazz background and Mauro is from the downtown avant-garde. Their high energy Brazilian party ambiance has drawn collaborators like David Byrne. Indivisible from the Nublu Club, where their Wednesday night sessions are part of the club's identity, Forro in the Dark are an instant traveling Brazilian party ("Forro" are dance rhythms from North-Eastern Brazil, associated with the June Festivals.)

For example, the components of α Canis Majoris (Sirius) are α Canis Majoris A and α Canis Majoris B (Sirius A and Sirius B); the components of 44 Boötis are 44 Boötis A and 44 Boötis B; the components of ADS 16402 are ADS 16402A and ADS 16402B; and so on. The letters AB may be used together to designate the pair. In the case of multiple stars, the letters C, D, and so on may be used to denote additional components, often in order of increasing separation from the brightest star, A. Visual doubles are also designated by an abbreviation for the name of their discoverer followed by a catalogue number unique to that observer. For example, the pair α Centauri AB was discovered by Father Richaud in 1689, and so is designated "RHD 1". Other examples include Δ65, the 65th double discovered by James Dunlop, and Σ2451, discovered by F. G. W. Struve. The Washington Double Star Catalog, a large database of double and multiple stars, contains over 100,000 entries, each of which gives measures for the separation of two components. Each double star forms one entry in the catalog; multiple stars with "n" components will be represented by entries in the catalog for "n"−1 pairs, each giving the separation of one component of the multiple star from another. Codes such as AC are used to denote which components are being measured—in this case, component C relative to component A. This may be altered to a form such as AB-D to indicate the separation of a component from a close pair of components (in this case, component D relative to the pair AB.) Codes such as "Aa" may also be used to denote a component which is being measured relative to another component, A in this case. Discoverer designations are also listed; however, traditional discoverer abbreviations such as Δ and Σ have been encoded into a string of uppercase Roman letters, so that, for example, Δ65 has become DUN  65 and Σ2451 has become STF 2451. Further examples of this are shown in the adjacent table.

Expanding on Galton's classification system, Sir Henry developed the Henry Classification System between the years 1896 and 1925. He was primarily assisted by Azizul Haque who developed a mathematical formula to supplement Henry's idea of sorting in 1024 pigeon holes based on fingerprint patterns, and Hem Chandra Bose, another Henry's assistant also helped refine the system, and both, on the recommendation of Henry received recognition years later by the British Government for their contribution. The Henry Classification System was to find worldwide acceptance in 1899. In 1897 a commission was established to compare Anthropometry to the Henry Classification System. As the results were overwhelmingly in favor of fingerprints, fingerprinting was introduced to British India by the Governor General, and in 1900, replaced Anthropometry. Also in 1900, Henry was sent to Natal, South Africa to assist in the reorganization of the local police force and establish a fingerprint bureau. His efforts in South Africa were highly successful; and in 1901 Sir Henry returned to Britain and was appointed Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard, head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). In the same year, the first UK fingerprint bureau was established at Scotland Yard. (Harling 1996) (Met) (Early) The Henry Classification System allows for logical categorization of ten-print fingerprint records into primary groupings based on fingerprint pattern types. This system reduces the effort necessary to search large numbers of fingerprint records by classifying fingerprint records according to gross physiological characteristics. Subsequent searches (manual or automated) utilizing granular characteristics such as minutiae are greatly simplified. The Henry Classification System is a method to classify fingerprints and exclude potential candidates. This system should NEVER be used for individualization. The Henry Classification System assigns each finger a number according to the order in which it is located in the hand, beginning with the right thumb as number 1 and ending with the left pinky as number 10. The system also assigns a numerical value to fingers that contain a whorl pattern; fingers 1 and 2 each have a value of 16, fingers 3 and 4 have a value of 8, fingers 5 and 6 have a value of 4, fingers 7 and 8 have a value of 2, and the final two fingers having a value of 1. Fingers with a non-whorl pattern, such as an arch or loop pattern, have a value of zero. The sum of the even finger value is then calculated and placed in the numerator of a fraction. The sum of the odd finger values is placed in the denominator. The value of 1 is added to each sum of the whorls with the maximum obtainable on either side of the fraction being 32.

Ben Hockin Benjamin Hockin Brusquetti (born 27 September 1986) is an Olympic freestyle swimmer, who has swum international for both Great Britain and Paraguay (his father is British, his mother is Paraguayan). Hockin represented Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay swimming events where his team finished eighth. He swam for Paraguay at the 2010 South American Games, where he won 3 silver medals and a bronze medal. However, Hockin did not follow the proper steps to switch his sport nationality and has been banned for one year (retroactive to 23 May 2010). In September 2011, Hockin was named the flag bearer for Paraguayan team at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he was Paraguay's flagbearer, and competed in the 100 and 200 m freestyle and the 100 m butterfly. He competed again in the 2016 Summer Olympics held in Rio de Janeiro in the 100 m freestyle category, and finished 44th.

Hypocrea Hypocrea is a genus of fungi in the family Hypocreaceae. The widespread genus is estimated to contain 171 species that grow on rotten wood, and are often associated with other fungi. Anamorphic genera associated with "Hypocrea" include "Acremonium", "Gliocladium", "Trichoderma", and "Verticillium". "Hypocrea" was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Fries in 1825. Due to changes within the code of nomenclature, the genus "Trichoderma" has been proposed for conservation over its teleomorph "Hypocrea". This means that all species with both a "Hypocrea" and "Trichoderma" name will be officially known by their "Trichoderma" name, and any species only described as "Hypocrea" will be transferred to "Trichoderma".

The Thumbs The Thumbs were an American punk rock band from Baltimore, Maryland, United States. They were active from 1995 until approximately 2002. They were known for having an intense touring ethic, having completed nine U.S. tours, and two Japanese tours between 1997 and 2001. The band was formed by Mike Hall, Bobby Borte, and Mark Minnig, however Hall and Borte remained the only constant members amidst constant drummer changes. The Thumbs were formed when Mike Hall left his former band The Pee Tanks and Borte and Minnig left their former band Rubber Sole. While active, The Thumbs released records on their own Sneezeguard Records, as well as Soda Jerk Records, Adeline Records, and Snuffy Smile.

Curse of the Bambino The Curse of the Bambino was a superstitious sports curse evolving from the failure of Major League Baseball team Boston Red Sox to win the World Series in the 86-year period from to . While some fans took the curse seriously, most used the expression in a tongue-in-cheek manner. This misfortune began after the Red Sox sold star player Babe Ruth (sometimes nicknamed "The Bambino") for $125,000 to the New York Yankees after the 1919 season. Before that point, the Red Sox had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises, winning the first World Series and amassing five of the first fifteen World Series titles. After the sale, they went without a title for nearly a century, as the previously lackluster Yankees became one of the most successful professional sports franchises in North America. The curse became a focal point of the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry over the years. Talk of the curse as an ongoing phenomenon ended in 2004, when the Red Sox came back from a 0–3 deficit to beat the Yankees in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series (ALCS), and then swept the St. Louis Cardinals to win the World Series. The curse had been such a part of Boston culture that when a "reverse curve" road sign on Longfellow Bridge over the city's busy Storrow Drive was graffitied to read "Reverse The Curse," officials left it in place until the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series. After the World Series that year, the road sign was edited to read "Reversed Curse" in celebration. Although it had long been noted that the selling of Ruth had been the beginning of a decline in the Red Sox' fortunes, the term "curse of the Bambino" was not in common use until the publication of the book "The Curse of the Bambino" by Dan Shaughnessy in 1990. It became a key part of Red Sox lore in the media thereafter, and Shaughnessy's book became required reading in some high school English classes in New England. Although the title drought dated back to , the sale of Ruth to the Yankees was completed January 3, 1920. In standard curse lore, Red Sox owner and theatrical producer Harry Frazee used the proceeds from the sale to finance the production of a Broadway musical, usually said to be "No, No, Nanette". In fact, Frazee backed many productions before and after Ruth's sale, and "No, No, Nanette" did not see its first performance until five years after the Ruth sale and two years after Frazee sold the Red Sox.

Harmer has also been awarded a Centenary Medal in 2001 and in 2010 was made an Officer of the Order of Australia.

Bowed string instrument Bowed string instruments are a subcategory of string instruments that are played by a bow rubbing the strings. The bow rubbing the string causes vibration which the instrument emits as sound. The Arabic rabāb is the earliest known bowed instrument, and the ancestor of all European bowed instruments, including the rebec, lyra and violin. The following instruments are sounded by means of a turning wheel that acts as the bow.

It should not however, be purposely poured down the sink or freshwater drain. People can be exposed to Stoddard solvent in the workplace by breathing it in, swallowing it, skin contact, and eye contact. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the legal limit (Permissible exposure limit) for Stoddard solvent exposure in the workplace as 500 ppm (2900 mg/m3) over an 8-hour workday. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has set a Recommended exposure limit (REL) of 350 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday and 1800 mg/m3 over 15 minutes. At levels of 20,000 mg/m3, Stoddard solvent is immediately dangerous to life and health.

Concerns, however, arise when the density and area of vegetation increases the grazing pressure could also increase in other areas, causing land degradation. A recent report by the Australian CSIRO found that forestry and forest-related options are the most significant and most easily achieved carbon sink making up 105 Mt per year CO2-e or about 75 per cent of the total figure attainable for the Australian state of Queensland from 2010-2050. Among the forestry options, the CSIRO report announced, forestry with the primary aim of carbon storage (called carbon forestry) has the highest attainable carbon storage capacity (77 Mt CO2-e/yr) while strategy balanced with biodiversity plantings can return 7–12 times more native vegetation for a 10%–30% reduction of carbon storage performance. Legal strategies to encourage this form of biosequestration include permanent protection of forests in National Parks or on the World Heritage List, properly funded management and bans on use of rainforest timbers and inefficient uses such as woodchipping old growth forest. As a result of lobbying by the developing country caucus (or Group of 77) in the United Nations (associated with the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, the non-legally binding Forest Principles were established in 1992. These linked the problem of deforestation to third world debt and inadequate technology transfer and stated that the "agreed full incremental cost of achieving benefits associated with forest conservation...should be equitably shared by the international community" (para1(b)). Subsequently, the Group of 77 argued in the 1995 "Intergovernmental Panel on Forests" (IPF) and then the 2001 "Intergovernmental Forum on Forests" (IFF), for affordable access to environmentally sound technologies without the stringency of intellectual property rights; while developed states there rejected demands for a forests fund. The expert group created under the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) reported in 2004, but in 2007 developed nations again vetoed language in the principles of the final text which might confirm their legal responsibility under international law to supply finance and environmentally sound technologies to the developing world. In December 2007, after a two-year debate on a proposal from Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica, state parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) agreed to explore ways of reducing emissions from deforestation and to enhance forest carbon stocks in developing nations. The underlying idea is that developing nations should be financially compensated if they succeed in reducing their levels of deforestation (through valuing the carbon that is stored in forests); a concept termed 'avoided deforestation (AD) or, REDD if broadened to include reducing forest degradation (see Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation).

Calopteron terminale Calopteron terminale, the end band net-wing, is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae. It is found in North America. "Calopteron terminale" is distinguished from other members of "Calopteron" by its "transverse depression across the elytra". It is found in woodlands, particularly in eastern North American deciduous forests, most frequently between July and September. The eggs are deposited on dead and dying trees; after hatching the larvae then prey on small arthropods under the bark.

Regency Mall was configured in a Y-shaped layout. Its surrounding landscape was terraced, providing ground-level entrances to the upper and lower levels. The mall's interior was decorated in an alabaster motif with brown accents, and its floors were finished in brown-speckled terrazzo tile. Live trees were planted at intervals along the lower-level concourses. The mall's three wings met at a center court, framed by pillars and featuring a fountain, a clock tower and a stage area floored in brown tile. Regency Mall had more than of space; when it opened, it was the largest enclosed shopping mall in Georgia. Regency Mall's grand opening took place on July 27, 1978, with 70 of its 139 scheduled stores ready for business. Many of the smaller stores in the mall opened over the following weeks. Cullum's, still under construction at the time the mall opened, did not open until later in 1978, and Belk's Regency Mall store was not completed until 1979. Augusta Mall, seven miles (11 km) from Regency Mall, opened for business on August 3, 1978. Developed by the Rouse Company, Augusta Mall had been in the planning stages since 1972; however, its construction had been delayed due to economic uncertainty. The smaller Augusta Mall had 100 stores but only two anchors, Rich's and Davison's; both of these were Atlanta-based chains, while Regency Mall featured a combination of Georgia-based and national chains. However, both malls operated successfully through the 1970s and much of the 1980s. They had drawn large retailers to close their downtown stores and relocate to the malls, and many smaller stores had opened stores in one, or both, of the malls. Though Regency Mall was the largest mall in Augusta, its location posed problems during the 1990s. Augusta Mall tended to draw shoppers from the central and western portions of Augusta. Regency Mall, located in south Augusta, tended to draw customers from the southern, eastern and northern portions of the Augusta area, and also drew business from service personnel stationed at nearby Fort Gordon. Regency Mall also suffered by not being located near expressways or interstate highways. In contrast, Augusta Mall was located just off the Bobby Jones Expressway (I-520), and was approximately two miles from Interstate 20. Regency Mall was not near any such thoroughfares; instead, it was located at the intersection of two traditional highways, in a part of town that was slowly deteriorating. Security at Regency Mall also became an issue as the 1980s wore on, leading to a perception that the mall was not a safe place to visit.

Vassilakis stated that the merger was brought on by the size of their competitors in the EU, which made it necessary for Greece's two main airlines to merge to create a "national airline champion" with enlarged presence in the European market as well as seamless coverage of even the most remote Greek islands. Vgenopoulos further stated that the merger also would preserve and strengthen the Olympic brand name, an inherent piece of Greek national tradition. At the time of the merger announcement, Aegean was in the process of becoming a full Star Alliance member, while Olympic Air was forging ties with SkyTeam pre-merger. Despite this, it was announced that Aegean's Star Alliance process would continue with the airlines working to guarantee a smooth transition of the merged carrier into the Star Alliance. Star Alliance welcomed the proposed merger, releasing a statement stating ""The integration teams from both sides will soon meet to assess the necessary steps, in order to guarantee a smooth transition of the merged Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air operations into the Star Alliance network"". At Aegean's welcome ceremony into Star Alliance on 30 June 2010, Star Alliance CEO Jaan Albrecht future confirmed that the enlarged entity will be a full Star Alliance member if the planned merger wins regulatory approval. After an initial review of the merger, on 30 July 2010 the European Competitions Commission expressed doubts that the merger meets competition regulations, citing "serious competition concerns" particularly in the domestic market but also on several international routes. The EC further stated that it had "serious doubts" the merger met requirements regarding ground-handling at Greek airports as well as the provision of Public service obligation routes, which would bring together the "two strongest and most credible bidders" of the PSO routes. The commission chose to open a 90-day in-depth inquiry into the proposed merger in order to further assess the effects of the partnership. The EC was expected to give their final ruling on the tie-up by 7 December 2010. In an interview with Air Transport World in August 2010, Dimitris Gerogiannis, managing director of Aegean Airlines, stated that their main goal at the time was making the merger work. He further went on to say that merging with Olympic Air is a matter of viability, driven by "economic and business realities". Gerogiannis claimed that Greece is unable to sustain two full-service airlines, pointing out other European countries and airlines as examples. Later than month, Aegean posted its first losses in years, further displaying an urgent need for the merger, while both airlines are planning various cuts.

Koulsy Lamko Koulsy Lamko (born 1959) is a Chadian-born playwright, poet, novelist and university lecturer. Born in Dadouar, Lamko left his country for Burkina Faso in 1979 due to the beginning of the civil war. There, he became acquainted with Thomas Sankara and involved with the Institute of Black Peoples in Ouagadougou. Lamko spent ten years promoting community theater in Burkina Faso through the Theater of the Community and helped found the International Festival of Theatre for Development. Some of his poetry was published in "Revue Noire" in 1994. In 1997 he co-released the album "Bir Ki Mbo" of mixed poetry and music in tribute to Sankara in collaboration with Stéphane Scott and Rémi Stengel. A regular attendant at the Limousin Festival International des Francophonies, he briefly lived in Limoges, France. He then moved to Rwanda, where he read for his doctorate at the National University in Butare while founding the university's Center for the Arts and the Theater and teaching theater and creative writing. His doctoral thesis was on emerging theatrical aesthetics in Africa. His experience in Rwanda led him to write his novel, "La phalène des collines" (""The butterfly of the hills""), about the 1994 genocide. In 2009 he stayed, as a guest of Amsterdam Vluchtstad, in the former apartment of Anne Frank and her family at the Amsterdam Merwedeplein. He currently lives in Mexico City.

She campaigned for promotional prospects and equal pay for women throughout the 1960s and 1970s. In 1970 she was appointed to the women's advisory committee of ICTU, opposing at preferential treatment of professional women over industrial workers. During her presidential address at the IWWU's 1973 annual convention, she advocated for women to embrace flexibility in the workplace and to accept all opportunities presented to them. As a union delegate she travelled across Europe investigating the conditions of working women in other countries. She met Mikhail Gorbachev, then USSR minister for agriculture, in Moscow in 1976. This meeting provoked controversy when she ran unsuccessfully in the 1979 local government elections for the Labour Party in the Crumlin–Terenure ward. During her campaign she was denounced by a local priest as a communist. From 1971 she was a member of the executive of the Dublin Council of Trade Unions, serving as the council's president from 1978 to 1981, the first woman to serve in that office. In this role she campaigned in for the trade unions’ income tax reform in 1979 and 1980, a campaign which protested the high level of taxation of PAYE worker in comparison to the self-employed. She was prominent in the media during the campaign, giving platform speeches and leading protest marches. The campaign culminated in a march of 300,000 workers in Dublin and one million across the country on 22 January 1980, the largest labour demonstration in the history of the Irish state. It was Clifford who delivered a letter to Government Buildings demanding that the "intolerable burden on the working class" be relieved. In 1983 she was named IWWU honorary treasurer, and after the merging of the IWWU with the Federated Workers’ Union of Ireland in 1984, she was appointed an executive member and trustee.

Varbitsa, Haskovo Province Varbitsa is a village in the municipality of Dimitrovgrad, in Haskovo Province, in southern Bulgaria.

Today, the village lives mainly on logging and also a little farming. There are still some cultivated fields in the Aranc Valley but this activity is currently experiencing a strong decline. The village is economically dependent on Hauteville-Lompnes and its watershed. However, there are actions to promote tourism, with the presence of an "Aranc escape" website that offers hiking and tries to promote the natural heritage of the Aranc Valley. During the 18th and 19th centuries there was cultivation of hemp and hemp combers in the Hauteville Valley. There was also stone and wood work. At the entrance of the marsh was a pigsty which is still present today but not used. At the beginning of the century there were still farmers who sent milk daily to the cheese factories at Aranc, Rougemont, and Résinand. Today, the activity of the village is mainly timber with some farmers. Aranc has a hotel-restaurant called "Aranc-évasion" as well as an Australian restaurant based on the village of Résinand. Most of the sights listed below no longer exist. A small footbridge over the Jarine over the swamp on the Corlier road. It is mentioned on the Napoleonic cadastral maps available at the Ain archives. It obviously no longer exists and has been replaced with the Corlier road. The location of this tumulus is not reported on maps. This was a circular mound 50 metres in diameter and 5 to 8 metres high. It was between the stream and the Jarine the path leading to the ruins of the Moulin de Merlet. There were many places for the manufacture of charcoal, especially at a place called Montreal on the road to Montgriffon. Also at Montreal was a lime kiln. Materials for the manufacture of lime were extracted here. In 1920 the ruins of two platforms with the remains of stones and ashes could still be seen. Today, taking the road through Montgriffon passing by Colognat it is possible to clearly discern the place where this industry was practiced. The precise dating of the building is made difficult by the variety of its components. In fact, they are from different eras. The oldest part is probably the nave. This is based on huge rectangular pillars on the side of the nave and two side columns beside the apse. The rosette of the keystone is composed of four concentric leafy decorations. The choir was crowned by a tower for which the wall reached a height of 4 metres.

In each of our models, we calculate both "hue" and what this article will call "chroma", after Joblove and Greenberg (1978), in the same way—that is, the hue of a color has the same numerical values in all of these models, as does its chroma. If we take our tilted RGB cube, and project it onto the "chromaticity plane" perpendicular to the neutral axis, our projection takes the shape of a hexagon, with red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta at its corners (). "Hue" is roughly the angle of the vector to a point in the projection, with red at 0°, while "chroma" is roughly the distance of the point from the origin. More precisely, both hue and chroma in this model are defined with respect to the hexagonal shape of the projection. The "chroma" is the proportion of the distance from the origin to the edge of the hexagon. In the lower part of the adjacent diagram, this is the ratio of lengths , or alternately the ratio of the radii of the two hexagons. This ratio is the difference between the largest and smallest values among "R", "G", or "B" in a color. To make our definitions easier to write, we'll define these maximum, minimum, and chroma component values as "M", "m", and "C", respectively. To understand why chroma can be written as , notice that any neutral color, with , projects onto the origin and so has 0 chroma. Thus if we add or subtract the same amount from all three of "R", "G", and "B", we move vertically within our tilted cube, and do not change the projection. Therefore, any two colors and project on the same point, and have the same chroma. The chroma of a color with one of its components equal to zero is simply the maximum of the other two components. This chroma is "M" in the particular case of a color with a zero component, and in general. The "hue" is the proportion of the distance around the edge of the hexagon which passes through the projected point, originally measured on the range but now typically measured in degrees . For points which project onto the origin in the chromaticity plane (i.e., grays), hue is undefined. Mathematically, this definition of hue is written piecewise: Sometimes, neutral colors (i.e. with ) are assigned a hue of 0° for convenience of representation.

After touring with the band since Austin's departure, fiddle player Allie Kral and mandolin player Jake Jolliff became official members of Yonder Mountain String Band in May 2015. Frog Pad Records is an independent record label run by the Yonder Mountain String Band. Used as a platform to launch their CDs, the label has since released numerous albums, as well as an anthology and some duet work by Jeff Austin and Chris Castino.

He became brevet Colonel in 1814 and CB in 1815. He became a fellow of the Royal Society on 25 January 1816. In 1816 appeared his "Essay on the Principles and Construction of Military Bridges", in 1819, "Observations on the Motives, Errors and Tendency of M. Carnots System of Defence", and in the following year his "A Treatise on Naval Gunnery" (of which numerous editions and translations appeared up to the general introduction of rifled ordnance). In 1821 he was promoted Major-General. Douglas's criticisms of Carnot led to an important experiment being carried out at Woolwich in 1822, and his "Naval Gunnery" became a standard text-book, and indeed first drew attention to the subject of which it treated. Sir Howard Douglas became Governor of New Brunswick (1823–31). He had to deal with the Maine boundary dispute with the United States of 1828. He also founded Fredericton College (King's College), now known as the University of New Brunswick, of which he was the first Chancellor. He was governor during the Miramichi fire of 1825, and his actions during that crisis increased his popularity with the people of the province. He secured a charter for King's College at Fredericton (later the University of New Brunswick). Some subsequent light is shed on local society in his period of office in the novel "Lady Rosamond's Secret. A Romance of Fredericton" (1878) by the Rebecca Agatha Armour. On his return to Europe he was employed in various missions, and he published about this time "Naval Evolutions", a controversial work dealing with the question of breaking the line. From 1835 to 1840 Douglas, now a GCMG, was Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, where, amongst other reforms, he introduced a new code of laws. In 1837 he became a Lieutenant-General, in 1840 a KCB, in 1841 a civil GCB, and in 1851 a full general. He was given the colonelcy of the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot from 1841 to 1851 when he transferred as colonel to the 15th (the Yorkshire East Riding) Regiment of Foot, a position he held until his death in 1861. From 1842 to 1847 Douglas sat as a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Liverpool, where he took a prominent part in debates on military and naval matters and on the corn laws.

Another reason for Bond's decision to leave Gordonvale was described in The Tasmanian Tramp: Upon leaving Gordonvale, Bond gave a joint five-year lease to the Hobart Walking Club and the Launceston Walking Club. The clubs were to be responsible for the maintenance of the homestead buildings. After Gordonvale, Bond conducted a fruit stall at Austins Ferry (a suburb of Hobart), and died at St. John’s Park, an aged-care facility, on 1 May 1962, aged 70. His diaries are held by LINC Tasmania. Gordonvale was purchased by the Tasmanian Land Conservancy in 2013 as a permanent nature reserve.

Hobbes is named after the 17th-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who held what Watterson describes as "a dim view of human nature." He typically exhibits a greater understanding of consequences than Calvin, although rarely intervenes in Calvin's activities beyond a few oblique warnings. The friendship between the two characters provides the core dynamic of the strip. Calvin's unnamed mother and father are typical middle-class parents who are relatively down to earth and whose sensible attitudes serve as a foil for Calvin's outlandish behavior. Calvin's father is a patent attorney (like Watterson's own father), while his mother is a stay-at-home mom. As Watterson insists, "As far as the strip is concerned, they are important only as Calvin's mom and dad." Watterson recounts that some fans are angered by the sometimes sardonic way that Calvin's parents respond to him. In response to his angry fan base, Watterson often defends what Calvin's parents do, remarking that in the case of parenting a kid like Calvin, "I think they do a better job than I would." Calvin's father is overly concerned with "character building" activities in a number of strips, either in the things he makes Calvin do or in the austere eccentricities of his own lifestyle. Susie Derkins, who first appears early in the strip and is the only important character with both a first and last name, lives on Calvin's street and is one of his classmates. Her last name apparently derives from the pet beagle owned by Watterson's wife's family. Susie is studious and polite (though she can be aggressive if sufficiently provoked), and she likes to play house or host tea parties with her stuffed animals. She also plays imaginary games with Calvin in which she acts as a high-powered lawyer or politician and wants Calvin to pretend to be her househusband. Though both of them are typically loath to admit it, Calvin and Susie exhibit many common traits and inclinations. For example, the reader occasionally sees Susie with a stuffed rabbit named "Mr. Bun." Much like Calvin, Susie has a mischievous (and sometimes aggressive) streak as well, which the reader witnesses whenever she subverts Calvin's attempts to cheat on school tests by feeding him incorrect answers, or whenever she fights back after Calvin attacks her with snowballs or water balloons. Hobbes often openly expresses romantic feelings for Susie, to Calvin's disgust. In contrast, Calvin started a club (of which he and Hobbes are the only members) that he calls G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS), and while holding "meetings" in Calvin's tree house or in the "box of secrecy" in Calvin's room, they usually come up with some plot against Susie.

Their Radio Show - Sports Line aired in Las Vegas for 7 years working with KSHP 1400 General Manager Brett Grant, Fred Weinberg of KRLV 1340 and Lotus Radio in Reno and Las Vegas and Lee Pete - the legendary Las Vegas Sports Broadcaster. NSN is a partner with the NIAA and has worked with UNLV and UNR regarding radio and television broadcasts, network growth, sponsorships. Additionally as an events manager NSN oversees local events. The largest and most well known of these events is the Las Vegas International Beer Festival. Nevada Sports Network developed the Nevada Sports Network Basketball Classic NSN, in conjunction with Grace Media Unlimited, produced the Dollar General Bowl each year until 2015. In previous seasons they also produced the Music City Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Heart of Dallas Bowl, the Military Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, and others. Until 2014 NSN produced a national game of the week for SiriusXM and for other interested stations. Among the broadcasts produced were every edition of the WAC Football Championships. However other national radio companies (Touchdown Radio, Sports USA, Compass Media) have taken many of NSN's broadcasts opportunities away causing the company to get out of the weekly national broadcast business and focus solely on programming the rights for the Las Vegas sports radio stations. With bowl ties going back to 1996, NSN was the longest bowl production company for college football, a title now held by ESPN Radio. Before Nevada Sports Network Westwood One held that title until they gave up rights to the Cotton Bowl and Gator Bowl to ESPN Radio. ESPN Radio obtained Radio Broadcasts leveraging their Television Broadcast Deals. The over growth of college bowl games and growth of ESPN Owned Games, rights fees increased to amounts that did not justify rights fees and ESPN Radio Stations slowed their broadcasting of live sporting events.

John A. Canavan John Aloysius Canavan (August 3, 1896 – October 2, 1963) was an American attorney who served as the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts from 1938 to 1939.
