200 | Lion's Head (Kennon Road) | The Lions Head is a statue along Kennon Road, a major highway in Luzon, Philippines, that leads to the city of Baguio. Located in Camp 6, the Lion's Head measures in height. It was conceptualized by the Lions Club members of Baguio, during the term of Luis Lardizabal as mayor of Baguio from 1969 to 1970 and as the club's president, to become the club's symbol or imprint in the area. Prior to the artistic sculpting, the limestone was prepared by a group of engineers and miners, then the "actual artistic carving of the façade" was rendered by Anselmo Bayang Day-ag, an Ifugao artist/sculptor from the Cordillera Administrative Region. The construction project began in 1968 but was interrupted. The project was continued in 1971 by another Lions Club president, Robert Webber, and was unveiled in 1972. Forerunners The forerunner of the man-made Lion's Head was a "large rock" described to be "naturally shaped like a lion", which prior to 1972 was the landmark that tourists observe along Kennon Road towards Baguio City. However, according to the article Lion's Head in Baguio City - Philippines, the current Lion's Head landmark was also a limestone naturally shaped like a "male lion, with a mane". Restoration It has undergone several coloration changes before restoring it to acquiring its traditional gold and black color. It was at some points in time painted white and brown, or yellow. It had also undergone restoration after being damaged by vandalism and by the earthquake in Northern Luzon in 1990.

206 | Jasień (river) | The Jasień is a river flowing through the Polish city of Łódź that played a major role in the city's development as an industrial centre in the early nineteenth century. Sections of the river have been regulated and moved to underground canals, while several ponds remain scattered across the city's parks in what used to be the river's overground corridor. The Jasień is 12.7 km (7.9 miles) long, beginning its course in the hills of the Stoki district in the northeast of the city at an elevation of c. 245 metres above sea level, and flowing down towards the Ner river valley in the southwest. History Like most other rivers and streams in Łódź, the Jasień was too narrow and shallow to enable water transportation, but its high stream gradient and significant flow rates made it amenable to being used as a source of hydropower. A number of mills were built on the river already in the late Middle Ages, more than on any other stream in the area, due to the fact that the river's gradient was comparable to that of mountain streams. These included the now non-existent Araszt mill in the village of Widzew; Wójtowski mill (Reeve’s Mill), whose medieval foundation has survived to this day beneath the nineteenth-century administrator's house in the grounds of what used to be Karl Scheibler’s farm; Księży Młyn (Priest's Mill), the largest of the town's mills in the eighteenth century, which burned down in 1822, later giving its name to one of the districts of the city; as well as Kulom mill, Rokicie mill and Chachuła mill. Of these three, only the mill in the village (now district) of Rokicie survives in the city's landscape, the current building of the steam-powered mill in Cieszyńska street dating back to the late nineteenth century. Starting with the late 1830s, with the advent of steam engines in the city's factories, the river ceased to function primarily as a source of water power and became a recipient of waste water. The situation deteriorated throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century as the river continued to receive significant amounts of polluted waters. In the 1890s Karl Scheibler's factory was established directly above the river, which flowed beneath the factory's floor, enabling easy discharge of industrial waste. When the construction of the city's sewer system began in 1925, the city's natural river network, including Jasień, was incorporated within the new underground canal system, and the river valley is now marked in some sections of the city centre only by the landscape retaining some of the original valley slopes, with the stream itself hidden from view for more than one third of its course. As the Jasień became part of the city's canal system, its main function became the transfer of both industrial and residential waste water and rainfall outside Łódź towards the Ner river. The twentieth century saw the construction of chemical plants on the Jasień, and the river was used for the disposal of toxic waste. It was only after the fall of communism in 1989 and after |
207 | Heinrich Jung | Heinrich Wilhelm Ewald Jung (4 May 1876, Essen – 12 March 1953, Halle (Saale)) was a German mathematician, who specialized in geometry and algebraic geometry. Biography Heinrich Jung was born as the son of a Bergrat (a mining officer of high rank) in Essen and studied from 1895 to 1899 mathematics, physics, and chemistry in Marburg/Lahn and Berlin under outstanding professors including Friedrich Schottky, Kurt Hensel, Lazarus Immanuel Fuchs, Hermann Amandus Schwarz, Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, and Max Planck. In his 1899 doctoral dissertation Über die kleinste Kugel, die eine räumliche Figur einschließt under Schottky he proved the eponymous Jung's Theorem. In 1902 he completed his Habilitation thesis in Marburg and remained there until 1908 as a privatdocent. Afterwards he was a Studienrat (teacher at a secondary school, i.e., Gymnasium) in Hamburg, before he became in 1913 a professor ordinarius in Kiel. After brief military service in World War I he became in 1918 a professor in Dorpat and in 1920 the successor to Albert Wangerin (1844–1933) at the University of Halle, where he remained until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1948. In Halle he was not only a professor but also one of the directors of mathematical seminars and dean of the mathematical and sciences faculty and until 1951 he continued to give lectures. He was a member of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina. Jung developed with his teacher Schottky a general theory of theta functions. Jung's fame derives mainly from his arithmetic theory of algebraic functions in two variables. His original research in this theory is gathered together in his book Einführung in die algebraische Theorie der Funktionen von zwei Veränderlicher. He also applied his theory to algebraic surfaces (with a presentation of this research in his book Algebraische Flächen) and worked on birational transformations in the plane (Cremona transformations). During the Weimar Republic, Jung was a member of the anti-republican Alldeutschen Verband and also Der Stahlhelm. In the Nazi era, Jung was a member of the Nationalsozialistischen Volkswohlfahrt (NSV), the Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Dozentenbund (NSDDB), and the Nationalsozialistischer Altherrenbund. In 1945 he represented the CDU.

210 | Classic trials | Classic trials are one of the oldest forms of motor sport, dating from the beginning of the 20th century. In those days, the challenge was just to complete a long road journey. The three Motor Cycling Club long distance trials in the UK – the Land's End, the Exeter and the Edinburgh – date from that time. All three are still held today. As vehicles became more reliable, the events became easier and the concept of observed non-stop sections was introduced. On these, the car or motorcycle is stopped at the foot of a hill and has to make a non-stop ascent. On a classic trial today, there will typically be around fifteen such observed "sections" with a road mileage between 40 and 400. Other forms of car trial are PCTs for production cars, and sporting trials for special "flyweights". These trials are restricted to one venue without any road mileage.

224 | Info URI scheme | In computing, info is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme which enables identifiers from public namespaces to be represented as URIs, when they would otherwise have no canonical URL form, such as Library of Congress identifiers, Handle System handles, and Digital object identifiers. Specification The specification for the info scheme is provided by the Informational RFC 4452. Example The following is an example of an info URI: info:ddc/22/eng//004.678 In this example, "ddc" designates the Dewey Decimal Classification namespace and "22/eng//004.678" is the identifier within that namespace. Namespace Registry Between 2003 and 2010, info namespaces were registered by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) Office of Research on behalf of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), an American library standards body. About 30 namespaces were registered. In 2010, the registry was closed, in view of the increasing importance of the W3C Linked Data paradigm, and adopters of the info scheme were advised to migrate resource identity requirements towards "mainstream Web practices."

225 | The Druid Network | The Druid Network is a British druidic (neo-pagan) organisation providing a source of information and inspiration about modern Druidic traditions, practices and their histories. It was founded in February 2003 by Emma Restall Orr, a leading voice in British Druidry. History The Druid Network was created to act as an internet framework making tangible the spirit-web that is the global community of the Druid tradition and other natural philosophies and Paganisms. Like a sacred well, the Network aims to offer a blend of inspiration and information, yet not only from words presented as articles and ideas. In the spirit of the oral tradition of our ancestors and our heritage, the power of the Druid Network is in the encounters it enables between individuals, soul to soul, mind to mind : people walking together upon the same road. A major project of The Druid Network is called Honouring the Ancient Dead, a programme developed in cooperation with the Manchester Museum (U.K.) for the proper and dignified treatment of human remains at ancient archaeological sites in the United Kingdom. The programme has been reported on in "British Archaeology" (Issue 77, July 2004) and "The New Statesman," (6 November 2006.) Organization The structure of the Network is based on Druidic and pagan tenets. It therefore claims no hierarchy, but for administrative purposes numerous categories of membership are constitutionally defined, as are lines of communication. The governing Committee consists of selected Staff Members, chosen by the previous Committee from all applicants. The Network comprises working project areas on four continents as well as its British home: Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. The Network does not, however, simply focus on members. They work for the wider Druid community and the world at large through teaching and programmes in areas of ethics, ecology, and spirituality. The website offers members and non-members alike a large variety of options for active engagement. The heart of The Druid Network is the Druid Order of the Yew, a community of Druid Priests bound together by their pledges of Commitment to their Communities across the several continents of the Network. Across the globe many Druid Groves and other Druidic organisations are affiliated with The Druid Network. The Druid Network Across North America is composed of sixteen Regions, most headed by Regional Coordinators. Its purpose is to assist Druid Groups and individuals in the practice of Druid spirituality, to seek to define what Druidry means in North America, and to identify and coordinate programs for social action and ethical awareness. Similar manifestations of the Network can be found in Spain, the Netherlands, France, Brazil, and Oceania. The Druid Network organises the Lammas Games an annual bardic festival of sports, songs and storytelling. The Druid Network also has a collection of "expressions" of Druidry that contains services to aid its community with inspiration regarding current issues, environmental ideas, ethical living choices, a tradition named PaganDASH and a pagan prison minister service. Charity status In September 2010, the Charity Commission for England and Wales agreed to register The Network as a charity. Right-wing tabloid |

228 | Vayu Purana | The Vayu Purana (, ) is a Sanskrit text and one of the eighteen major Puranas of Hinduism. Vayu Purana is mentioned in the manuscripts of the Mahabharata and other Hindu texts, which has led scholars to propose that the text is among the oldest in the Puranic genre. Vayu and Vayaviya Puranas do share a very large overlap in their structure and contents, possibly because they once were the same, but with continuous revisions over the centuries, the original text became two different texts, and the Vayaviya text came also to be known as the Brahmanda Purana. The Vayu Purana, according to the tradition and verses in other Puranas, contains 24,000 verses (shlokas). However, the surviving manuscripts have about 12,000 verses. The text was continuously revised over the centuries, and its extant manuscripts are very different. Some manuscripts have four padas (parts) with 112 chapters, and some two khandas with 111 chapters. Comparisons of the diverse manuscripts suggest that the following sections were slipped, in later centuries, into the more ancient Vayu Purana: chapters on geography and temples-related travel guides known as Mahatmya, two chapters on castes and individual ashramas, three chapters on Dharma and penances, eleven chapters on purity and Sanskara (rite of passage) and a chapter on hell in after-life. The text is notable for the numerous references to it, in medieval era Indian literature, likely links to inscriptions such as those found on the Mathura pillar and dated to 380 CE, as well as being a source for carvings and reliefs such as those at the Elephanta Caves – a UNESCO world heritage site. History The Vayu Purana is mentioned in chapter 3.191 of the Mahabharata, and section 1.7 of the Harivamsa, suggesting that the text existed in the first half of the 1st-millennium CE. The 7th-century Sanskrit prose writer Banabhatta refers to this work in his Kadambari and Harshacharita. In chapter 3 of the Harshacharita Banabhatta remarks that the Vayu Purana was read out to him in his native village. Alberuni (973 -1048), the Persian scholar who visited and lived in northwest Indian subcontinent for many years in early 11th century, quoted from the version of Vayu Purana that existed during his visit. The various mentions of the Vayu Purana in other texts have led scholars to recognize it as one of the oldest. The early 20th-century scholar Dikshitar, known for his dating proposals that push many texts as very ancient and well into 1st millennium BCE, stated that the Vayu Purana started to take shape around 350 BCE. Later scholarship has proposed that the earliest version of the text is likely from the 300 to 500 CE period, and broadly agreed that it is among the oldest Puranas. The text, like all Puranas, has likely gone through revisions, additions and interpolations over its history. Rajendra Hazra, as well as other scholars, for example, consider Gaya-mahatmya, which is an embedded travel guide to Gaya, as a later addition. The Gaya-mahatmya replaced older sections of the Vayu Purana, sometime before the 15th century. Vayu Purana, like all Puranas, |
229 | Walter Sydney Lazarus-Barlow | Walter Sydney Lazarus-Barlow (born Walter Sydney Lazarus; 18 July 1865 – 15 January 1950) was an English physician who was professor of experimental pathology at the Middlesex Hospital. He was a specialist in cancer and was one of the first physicians to research the effects of X-rays and radium on that disease. In 1909, he gave the Croonian Lecture on the subject of Radioactivity and Carcinoma. Early life Lazarus-Barlow was born to John Barnett Lazarus, a Russian-born Jew who converted to Christianity, and his wife Martha E. Lazarus (née Barlow). At the age of 21, he added his mother's maiden name to his own by deed poll. According to family legend, he was able to trace his ancestry to the important Torah scholar of the Middle Ages Moses Maimonides through his father, and to the writer Sarah Trimmer through his mother. His brother was the banker and businessman Ernest Lazarus (1855 or 1856–1914). Lazarus-Barlow was educated at the City of London School and entered Downing College, University of Cambridge, on a scholarship in 1884 from where he obtained his MB. Family He married Minnie Wesson Taylor Mears on 17 January 1893 at St Saviour's church, Hanley Road. At the time of their golden wedding anniversary in 1943 they were living at Smith's Hall, West Mersea, Essex. They had a son, Percy, also a pathologist. Career Lazarus-Barlow's first professional appointment was as a house physician at Brompton Hospital and assistant curator at the St George's Hospital museum under Humphry Rolleston. He was a principal translator of Samuel Pozzi's Treatise on Gynaecology which was published in three volumes by the New Sydenham Society in 1892–93. He returned to Cambridge where he obtained a post as demonstrator in pathology in 1893 before moving back to St George's Hospital where he was curator of the museum there and also held the post of lecturer in pathology at Westminster Hospital. During a postmortem examination at the hospital, he pricked his left thumb, thereby contracting an infection which led to the amputation of his left arm in 1901. Walter O'Connor writes in British Physiologists 1885–1914, that Lazarus-Barlow's life was "probably saved by the new antistreptococcal serum from the Pasteur Institute, used for the first time in Britain". Lazarus-Barlow began his specialism in cancer research when he was appointed director of the newly established Cancer Research Laboratory at the Middlesex Hospital in 1903. He was one of the first physicians to research the effects of X-rays and radium on that disease and his use of living cells in his work achieved international recognition. In 1909 he gave the Croonian Lecture on Radioactivity and Carcinoma. He served as a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps from 1914 to 1918, spending two years in France, before returning to the Middlesex where he was appointed professor of experimental pathology in 1920. He retired in 1924. He became a member of the Physiological Society in 1896 and was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1901. Later life In retirement, Lazarus-Barlow gardened and edited the medical section of the |
230 | Railways Act 1993 | The Railways Act 1993 (c 43) was introduced by John Major's Conservative government and passed on 5 November 1993. It provided for the restructuring of the British Railways Board (BRB), the public corporation that owned and operated the national railway system. A few residual responsibilities of the BRB remained with BRB (Residuary) Ltd. Background While the administration of Margaret Thatcher had not done so, the Major government were determined to privatise British Rail. Railways in the 18th and 19th Centuries had originally been built and run with private capital, but subsidised heavily by Parliament and communities who gave land for building through compulsory purchase. Rail was increasingly regulated, for instance under the Railways Act 1921, but was finally nationalised by the Transport Act 1947. Calls for reform of the nationalised system combined with people who believed only the private sector could run rail to ensure better service for passengers at cheaper cost. This led to the Railways Act 1993. Contents The legislation created a new regulatory regime for the railways, with the establishment of the Rail Regulator (dealing with the monopoly and dominant elements of the industry, principally Railtrack (now Network Rail)) and the Director of Passenger Rail Franchising, whose role was to sell passenger rail franchises to the private sector. The Director of Passenger Rail Franchising was replaced in 2001 by the Strategic Rail Authority. When the SRA was abolished in 2006 franchising were taken over by the Secretary of State for Transport. The statutory position of Rail Regulator was abolished in July 2004 and his functions were taken over by the Office of Rail Regulation. Consequences The legislation enabled the Secretary of State for Transport John MacGregor to transfer separated parts of the railway to the private sector. Passenger rail services were franchised to private companies including Virgin Rail Group, Connex (later known as Veolia Transport) and the coach companies Stagecoach and National Express, and the national railway track and signalling company Railtrack was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1996. British Rail's track maintenance and renewal operations were sold to private companies, with contracts to provide infrastructure services to Railtrack. The three rolling stock leasing companies or ROSCOs, owners of the passenger rolling stock, were sold to management buyout teams. Railtrack Railtrack collapsed in highly controversial circumstances in October 2001, and in October 2002 the company emerged from railway administration, a special state of insolvency for railway companies created by the Railways Act 1993, as Network Rail. Some commentators regard the creation of Network Rail and its taking maintenance in-house as the beginning of the reversal of rail privatisation. Amendments The legislation has been amended several times, most significantly by the Transport Act 2000, the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 and the Railways Act 2005.

238 | Claude Le Roy | Claude Le Roy (born 6 February 1948) is a French football manager and former player, who gained prominence at international level as coach to the Senegal and Ghana national teams. He is currently the manager of the Togo national football team. Managerial career Le Roy has had a varied managerial career, starting out at the small French club Amiens SC, after taking over as manager when his playing days ended. His achievements in leading the Cameroon national team to be runners-up in the 1986 African Cup of Nations, and then champions in the 1988 competition, are often cited as his greatest managerial accomplishments. He then took charge of Senegal when they reached the quarterfinals at the 1992 African Cup of Nations, and returned to Cameroon to lead them during the World Cup in 1998. In between, he also coached Malaysia national football team from 1994 to 1995. After undertaking the role of football adviser at A.C. Milan in 1996, Le Roy had a spell as Director of Football at Paris Saint-Germain in the 1997–98 season. Le Roy became manager of Cambridge United for a short spell in 2004, although he only ever signed a "moral contract", and now claims he was only ever assisting his protégé Hervé Renard: "I was just helping out a friend [then-manager Hervé Renard], but we saved that club". Following his departure from Cambridge, Le Roy was appointed as the head coach of the DR Congo. In September 2006, Le Roy was named by the Ghana Football Association as coach of the Ghana national football team. In February 2008, Le Roy led Ghana to 14th position in the FIFA World Rankings, their highest position ever, but quit the post in May 2008. He started coaching the Oman national football team in July 2008. Oman desperately needed a solid coach after disappointing Gulf Cup and Asian Cup performances, and in January 2009, Le Roy led them to victory in the 19th Arabian Gulf Cup held in Muscat. During the competition, Le Roy extended his deal with Oman for a further four years. He became the new coach of the Syria national football team in March 2011, but resigned in May of the same year. On 5 December 2013, he became the new coach of the Congo national football team. On 17 November 2015, Le Roy resigned after leading the team to the qualifying round of the World Cup in 2018.

240 | History of the Nelson Region, New Zealand | The history of the Nelson Region of New Zealand dates back to settlement by the Māori people in about the 12th century. The Nelson and Marlborough Region were known to the Māori as Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka a Maui which means "The Prow of the Canoe of Maui". Archaic Maori period The precise date at which the first inhabitants of New Zealand reached the Nelson Region remains uncertain, nevertheless it is generally agreed that Maori tribes have inhabited the upper South Island for up to eight hundred years. The first known tribes were the Waitaha, Rapuwai, Hāwea, Ngāti Wairangi, and Kāti Māmoe. The Ngāti Kuia entered the Pelorus Sound and eventually evicted the Ngāi Tara tribe from the Marlborough Region and the tribe were forced to relocate to Waimea. Subsequently, another tribe, the Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri (originally from Taupo) invaded the Nelson region during the early 17th century and displaced the Ngāi Tara tribe that had moved to Waimea. Contact with the Dutch After the first sighting of New Zealand by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman on 13 December 1642, the ship Heemskerck sailed into the Wainui Inlet of the Nelson Region by the 18 December 1642. The Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri sent two waka canoes in their customary ritual to challenge and frighten the unknown ships that entered their territory. The Dutch sailors subsequently blew their trumpet to warn the Maori wakas not to approach their ship in such a hostile manner as to endanger the safety of the crew. This was ignored by the Maoris and the Dutch subsequently ordered cannon to be fired upon the approaching wakas. The Maoris flew into a rage and the next day, seven waka were dispatched to ram into the Heemskerck resulting in four Dutchmen killed in the ensuing conflict. The Maori wakas then paddled back to shore. As the Dutch were dropping in their anchor near the coast, eleven Maori wakas suddenly approached the Heemskerck, however this time the crew on the warship Zeehaen quickly fired upon the wakas and the Maoris returned to shore with 1 casualty. Hence the Dutch named the Bay as "Moordenaers Baaij" (Murderer's Bay). As a result of hostility from the inhabitants of the area, the Dutch did not land ashore at the area and headed to the North Island after sailing near parts of the Cook Strait. British exploration In January 1770, Captain James Cook explored the Nelson region and named the sea between the North and South Island as "Cook Strait". They landed at Queen Charlotte Sound and Ship Cove, both names of which were named by the British explorer. There, they spent several weeks repairing their ship The Endeavour and reloading food and water supplies. Captain Cook's and his crew were to enter the Ship Cove in their subsequent voyages to New Zealand in 1773 and 1777 respectively. French exploration On 22 January 1827, the French explorer Dumont d'Urville along with French crew on the ship Astrolabe entered the Tasman Bay into what is now known today as the French Pass and D'Urville Island.

241 | Sleaford Mods | Sleaford Mods are an English electronic punk music duo formed in 2007 in Nottingham. The band features vocalist Jason Williamson and, since 2012, musician Andrew Fearn. They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson's East Midlands accent. The duo have released several albums to critical praise. History Williamson (born 10 November 1970 in Grantham, Lincolnshire) grew up in Grantham. Inspired by the mod subculture and musical sources like the Wu-Tang Clan, he spent several years pursuing music unsuccessfully both with various groups and as a solo singer-songwriter. He had also worked as a session musician with local artists as well as Spiritualized and Bent. Fearn (born 1971 in Burton upon Trent) grew up on a farm in Saxilby, Lincolnshire. Williamson first met Fearn in 2009 after hearing him DJ at a small Nottingham club called the Chameleon, where he was playing his own rough edged and minimal grime inspired tracks. Sleaford Mods began when Williamson's friend suggested that he combine his vocals with a music sample from a Roni Size album. Originally the project was called "That's Shit, Try Harder", later changed in reference to Sleaford, a town in Lincolnshire not far from Grantham. Williamson formed the band with Simon Parfrement, who he worked with alongside a studio engineer at Rubber Biscuit Studio in Nottingham on their first four albums. Parfrement left the music production to Andrew Fearn after the release of the 2012 album Wank, the first album to feature Andrew Fearn, but continues to play an important role in the band as their photographer and media producer. A collaboration between Sleaford Mods and The Prodigy was announced at the end of 2014. They recorded a track "Ibiza" together which appears on The Prodigy album The Day Is My Enemy, released in March 2015. The Leftfield album Alternative Light Source, released on 8 June 2015, also features a collaboration with Sleaford Mods, a track called "Head and Shoulders". The video for 'Head and Shoulders' is a stop-motion and animation hybrid that debuted on Pitchfork on 6 August 2015. In July 2015, the band released a new album, Key Markets. It was one of the 19 records nominated for the IMPALA Album of the Year Award. The band featured in two documentary films, Bunch of Kunst. A Film About Sleaford Mods, released in 2017 and Sleaford Mods: Invisible Britain, released in 2015. They released the EP T.C.R. in 2016. In 2017, Sleaford Mods embarked on their first North American tour. In 2019, Williamson lent his vocals to the track "Talk Whiff" by Scorn. Musical style Sleaford Mods have described their work as "electronic munt minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class." Williamson is responsible for the words, Fearn for the music. Sleaford Mods songs have been described as embittered rants about such topics as unemployment, modern working life, celebrities and pop culture, capitalism and society in general. The lyrics usually contain profanity, which is, according to Williamson, the way in which he speaks and "not just fucking |
242 | Droids Attack | Droids Attack is a Madison-based stoner rock band. Much of the band's sound combines the heavy riffs of stoner metal with the speed and ferocity of punk. The band releases material on Madison's Crustacean Records and Minneapolis-based Round 13 Records co-op label. "Droids Attack’ premier album, “All Your Chicks Are Belong To Us” garnered much deserved recognition in the punk-metal realm of the Midwest. In 2004, the album won a MAMA (Madison Area Music Award) for Best Punk Album." Their second full-length album, Fatal/Error has garnered positive reviews from stoner rock internet hub, stonerrock.com. The band usually plays in the Midwest area, but in 2008 played the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. They are infamous for their metallic robot mascot, Robo, who occasionally terrorizes audiences at shows. The band has cited influences such as Black Sabbath, Helmet, Torche, Quicksand, The Melvins, Cuda, and Clutch. At the 2008 Forward Music Fest in Madison, Droids Attack opened for influential fellow-Madisonian alternative/sludge band, Killdozer. They also played at Riot Fest in Chicago in 2010 and 2012. In the spring of 2012 the band parted ways with long-time bassist Nate Bush and added Dennis Ponozzo (Sinking Suns/Below the Sound) to the lineup, before ultimately adding Madison favorite Darwin Sampson (Helliphant/Way Off the Horse).

244 | 2000 Macau Grand Prix | The 2000 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 47th Macau Grand Prix) was a motor race for Formula Three cars that was held on the streets of Macau on 19 November 2000. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2000 Macau Grand Prix was not a part of any Formula Three championship, but was open to entries from all Formula Three championships. The race was divided into two aggregate legs: the first leg was held in the morning and lasted fifteen laps. The second took place in the afternoon and lasted fifteen laps. The overall winner was the driver who completed all 30 laps in the shortest amount of time. The 2000 edition was the 47th running of the Macau Grand Prix and the 18th for Formula Three cars. The Grand Prix was won by Bertram Schafer Racing driver André Couto, having begun the first leg of the race from sixth position. Couto overtook the winner of the first leg Pierre Kaffer of team hms at the start of the second leg and withstood pressure from Paolo Montin for Target Racing to maintain the lead and become the first Macanese driver to win the Macau Grand Prix. Second place went to Montin and Ryō Fukuda in his self-owned car completed the podium in third place. Background and entry list The Macau Grand Prix is a Formula Three race considered to be a stepping stone to higher motor racing categories such as Formula One and has been termed the territory's most prestigious international sporting event. The 2000 Macau Grand Prix was the 47th edition of the event and the 18th time the race was held to Formula Three regulations. It took place on the temporary 22-turn Guia Circuit on 18 November 2000 with three preceding days of practice and qualifying. Thirty drivers representing sixteen nationalities were invited to participate by the Macau Grand Prix Committee. Japan had the highest number of drivers with seven; Macau, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Austria all had two or more drivers competing. Of those, 18 debuted in the race. The drivers' average age was 23.6 years. All drove a Dallara-built chassis (either the F399 and F300) from four engine manufacturers (Mugen-Honda, Opel Spiess, Renault Sodemo and Toyota TOM'S). Within the grid, two of the four major Formula Three series were represented by their respective champions. Sébastien Philippe, the Japanese series winner, was joined in Macau by French champion Jonathan Cochet. British champion Antônio Pizzonia missed the event because of a clashing Champ Car test with Mo Nunn Racing. He was replaced at Manor Motorsport by local driver Lei Kit Meng. André Couto, a International Formula 3000 racer, and Formula Nippon driver Alex Yoong were two competitors outside of Formula Three to receive invitations to compete at Macau. Practice and qualifying Two practice sessions lasting half an hour were held before the race on Sunday: one on Thursday morning and one on Friday morning. Rain fell before the start of the opening practice session which intensified as it progressed but a dry racing line |

248 | Gordon "Butch" Stewart | Gordon "Butch" Stewart OJ, CD (born 6 July 1941) is a Jamaican hotelier and businessman. He is the founder, owner and chairman of Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, and their parent company Sandals Resorts International, as well as The ATL Group and its subsidiaries Appliance Traders and The Jamaica Observer. Early life Gordon Stewart was born on 6 July 1941 in Kingston, Jamaica. He grew up along the country's north coast where he came to be known as "Butch", a nickname given to him by an American sailor. As a child, Stewart helped out at his mother's appliance dealership, and at 12, he bought a small canoe he used to catch fish and sell them to the local hotels. He then bought a larger boat which he operated until age 17. Career After completing his education in England, Stewart became a salesman and eventually rose to become the sales manager of Dutch-owned Curaçao Trading Company. Stewart later left in 1968 to found his own business, Appliance Traders, Ltd. which specialized at first in importing and selling air conditioning units, water coolers and stoves but has grown to sell almost everything. In April 1981, Stewart bought two derelict hotels, the Bay Roc and the Carlisle in Montego Bay. The Bay Roc had been abandoned for more than five years when Stewart hired architect Evan Williams to renovate the hotel for $4 million and reopen it the same year as the Sandals Resort Beach Club, later known as Sandals Montego Bay. Stewart founded Sandals Resorts which was the first company to popularize the sale of all-inclusive holidays in the Caribbean. Stewart is credited with several innovations in the hospitality industry, most notably building the Caribbean's first swim-up bar at Sandals Montego Bay Resort in Jamaica in 1984. In 1985, Stewart opened his second hotel as the Sandals Carlisle which was followed the next year by Sandals Royal Caribbean, “the only resort in Jamaica with its own private island". Over the next few years, Stewart expanded Sandals Resort to Negril in 1988 and to Ocho Rios in 1989. In 1991, he opened a second resort in Ocho Rios near the Dunn's River Falls and also opened Sandals Antigua, his first resort outside Jamaica. He added two more resorts to the Sandals chain in Saint Lucia, Sandals La Toc and Sandals Halcyon Beach, which opened in 1993. Sandals Royal Bahamian in Nassau opened in 1996 and, in 1997, Stewart started a second resort chain geared towards children and families with the opening of a Beaches Resort in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. Stewart also founded The Jamaica Observer newspaper in January 1993 and, in 1994, started the Air Jamaica Acquisition Group to buy a majority stake in Air Jamaica. The group paid $37.5 million for a majority share of the airline; of which, Stewart held a 46 percent stake and became the new chairman of Air Jamaica. Stewart's group sold their shares of the airline back to the Jamaican Government in 2004. In November 2006, Stewart became chairman of Sandals and Beaches Resorts after appointing his son |
249 | Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, Nadur | The Basilica of St Peter and St Paul is a Roman Catholic minor basilica located in Nadur, Gozo in Malta. The church also serves as the parish church of the village of Nadur. History The parish of Nadur was established by the Bishop of Malta Davide Cocco Palmeri on 28 April 1688. Since the main church was not yet constructed, the church of the Immaculate Conception in Qala—by then still part of the parish territory—became the parish church for some years. The construction of the present church was started on 28 September 1760 and the design is attributed to the Maltese architect Giuseppe Bonici. Construction on the church finished on 12 May 1867. The third Collegiate chapter of Gozo was established on 19 September 1894. This church is one of the most beautiful churches on the island. In 1907, a refurbishment programme took place to construct the aisles, dome and façade based on the Italian Renaissance design of Prof. F.S. Sciortino. The ceiling, depicting episodes connected with St. Peter and Paul, was painted by Lazzaro Pisani (hailing from Ħaż-Żebbuġ), while the architectural decorations are the work of the Italian Pio Cellini. Principal force behind all these new projects was Archpriest Martin Camilleri. The church became a minor Basilica on 26 June 1967.

252 | Wagria | Wagria (, Waierland or Wagerland) is the northeastern part of Holstein in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, corresponding roughly to the districts of Plön and Ostholstein. The word "Wagria" is derived from Germanic settlement of Waringer and just a bit later the West Slavic Lechites tribe of Wagri or Wagier, which meant "those who live by the bays". Wagria was occupied from Viking of Haithabu. It seems that the Wagrier are identical with the East Germanic tribe of Waringer or Warnen (Latin: Warini). This country is a historical landscape of Viking myths. Geography In the Middle Ages, and as still shown on early modern maps, Wagria was bordered on the north and east by the Baltic Sea from the Kiel Fjord to Lübeck Bay, and inland by the rivers Schwentine and Trave. Today, Wagria generally refers just to the Oldenburg Peninsula (Oldenburgische Halbinsel) in Ostholstein. The highest elevation in the peninsula is the Bungsberg at 168 metres. History The Lechitic (Slavic) root of the name, Wagria, meant not only the so-called, present-day Wagrian peninsula, but the entire region between the Kiel Fjord, the middle reaches of the Trave, and the lower course of the river; a region with this name emerged at least as early as the 8th century. Wagria Castle occupied a central location in Oldenburg in Holstein (then called Starigard, or "Old Castle"); its ramparts still exist. Important settlements in Wagria were Oldenburg, Old-Lübeck (Liubice), and Plön (Plune). In 1143, according to the vivid account by contemporary chronicler, Helmold of Bosau, Count Adolf II of Schauenburg and Holstein introduced German settlers, not only from his own territories of Holstein and Stormarn, but also from Westphalia and Holland, in order to develop the land of Wagria into a highly-profitable region as part of the German eastward expansion in the High Middle Ages: "Then a countless number of people from different tribes left, took their families and possessions with them and went with Count Adolf in Wagria to take possession of their promised land. Initially, those from Holsten were given the most sheltered area west of Segeberg, on the River Trave, on the Schwentine flood plain and everything from the Schwale to the Grimmelsberg and Lake Ploen. The country around Dargun was settled by the Westphalians, the Eutin area by the Dutch and Suesel by the Frisians. The Plön area remained uninhabited however. He allowed Oldenburg, Lütjenburg and other coastal areas be colonised by the Slavs, who had to pay taxes to him." The local Slavs were thus also involved in this expansion or development.

253 | Kathleen O'Meara (writer) | Kathleen O'Meara, also known under her pen name Grace Ramsay (1839 – 10 November 1888), was an Irish-French Catholic writer and biographer during the late Victorian era. She was the Paris correspondent of The Tablet, a leading British Catholic magazine. Irish Monthly also published many of her serialized and biographical works. O' Meara also wrote works of fiction where she explored a variety of topics from women's suffrage to eastern European revolutions. The majority of her novels contained Catholic themes and social reform issues. Life O'Meara was born in Dublin in 1839. Her father was Dennis O'Meara of Tipperary, while her grandfather, Barry Edward O'Meara, had been Napoleon's physician on St. Helena from the years 1815-1818. He later denounced Britain's treatment of the ex-emperor in his exile. This was quite the sensation in 1822. For this reason, Kathleen O'Meara's mother had a pension from the French state. Kathleen immigrated to France soon after she was born with her family, who never returned to Ireland. After leaving Ireland, she lived in Paris for the majority of her life. As she was entirely devoted to her writing career, O'Meara never married, or had any children. At the age of 49, O'Meara died of pneumonia in her home 15 Rue Washington, Paris on November 10, 1888. Her sister Geraldine Mary, who had been living with her in Paris was sole executrix of O'Meara's will, probate date 8 March 1889, which provided instructions for dispensing her posthumous estate of £3,110. 17s. 4d. Literary career While O'Meara did not have great success at the beginning of her career and only succeeded in winning fame after much hard work, her own experiences led her to encourage young and aspiring authors. Despite living in France, O'Meara's English novels, biographies, and periodical articles found great success in her last two decades of life. O'Meara wrote novels that were focused on issues in Catholicism and biographies of leading Catholics. Her publishers tried to forestall any pre-disposed discrimination against her Irish heritage by giving her the less Catholic nom-de-plume of Grace Ramsay. This led many of her readers to believe her to be English, allowing O'Meara to be mostly well received in Protestant England, despite engaging in controversial writing topics. Irish Catholicism Her first published work was called A Woman's Trials (1867) about a young girl's conversion to Catholicism. After an irate reader Mr. Archer Gurney published an angry letter on 17 September in the periodical John Bull, "refuting imaginary accusations against his theology" that he believed to have discovered in this novel, " "Grace Ramsey" published a reply on 5 October in the same publication. She deems Mr. Gurney's opinions "not worth replying to", but adds, "If it pleases the gentleman to recognize his own likeness in the heterodox Mr. Brown of my story, it would be unkind to contradict him." Also, she ends by thanking the periodical's reviewer of her book "especially for having pointed out its aim and object, which was, as he justly surmised, to bid English governesses pause before rushing abroad to try their fortunes."

258 | Nikolai Leskov | Nikolai Semyonovich Leskov (; – ) was a Russian novelist, short-story writer, playwright, and journalist, who also wrote under the pseudonym M. Stebnitsky. Praised for his unique writing style and innovative experiments in form, and held in high esteem by Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov and Maxim Gorky among others, Leskov is credited with creating a comprehensive picture of contemporary Russian society using mostly short literary forms. His major works include Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk (1865) (which was later made into an opera by Shostakovich), The Cathedral Clergy (1872), The Enchanted Wanderer (1873), and The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea (1881). Leskov received his formal education at the Oryol Lyceum. In 1847 Leskov joined the Oryol criminal court office, later transferring to Kiev, where he worked as a clerk, attended university lectures, mixed with local people, and took part in various student circles. In 1857 Leskov quit his job as a clerk and went to work for the private trading company Scott & Wilkins owned by Alexander Scott, his aunt's English husband. His literary career began in the early 1860s with the publication of his short story The Extinguished Flame (1862), and his novellas Musk-Ox (May 1863) and The Life of a Peasant Woman (September, 1863). His first novel No Way Out was published under the pseudonym M. Stebnitsky in 1864. From the mid-1860s to the mid-1880s Leskov published a wide range of works, including journalism, sketches, short stories, and novels. Leskov's major works, many of which continue to be published in modern versions, were written during this time. A number of his later works were banned because of their satirical treatment of the Russian Orthodox Church and its functionaries. Leskov died on 5 March 1895, aged 64, and was interred in the Volkovo Cemetery in Saint Petersburg, in the section reserved for literary figures. Biography Early life Nikolai Semyonovich Leskov was born on 4 February 1831, in Gorokhovo, Oryol Gubernia, to Semyon Dmitrievich Leskov (1789–1848), a respected criminal investigator and local court official, and Maria Petrovna Leskova (née Alferyeva; 1813–1886), the daughter of an impoverished Moscow nobleman, who first met her future husband at a very young age, when he worked as a tutor in their house. Leskov's ancestors on his father's side were all clergymen in the village of Leska in Oryol Gubernia, hence the name Leskov. Semyon Dmitrievich was a well-educated man; friends referred to him as a "homegrown intellectual". One of Nikolai's aunts on his mother's side was married to a rich Oryol landlord named Strakhov who owned the village of Gorokhovo ("a beautiful, wealthy and well-groomed estate... where the hosts lived in luxury," according to Leskov) another was the wife of an Englishman, the chief steward for several local estates and a large trade company owner. Leskov spent his first eight years in Gorokhovo, where his grandmother lived and where his mother was only an occasional guest. He acquired his early education in the house of Strakhov, who employed tutors from Germany and France for his own children. As the German teacher started |

261 | List of FIFA World Cup penalty shoot-outs | This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have occurred in the Finals tournament of the FIFA World Cup. Penalty shoot-outs were introduced as tie-breakers in the 1978 World Cup but did not occur before 1982. The first time a World Cup title was won by penalty shoot-out was in 1994. The only other time was in 2006. By the end of the 2018 edition, 30 shoot-outs have taken place in the World Cup. Of these, only two reached the sudden death stage after still being tied at the end of "best of five kicks". The first editions of the World Cup used the rule of replaying a knockout game ending in a tie. Replacement of the rule of deciding a winner of a drawn game via drawing of lots was first proposed in 1970 to International Football Association Board, and it was adopted by FIFA for the World Cup for the first time at the 1978 tournament.

264 | Strikefleet Omega | Strikefleet Omega is a hybrid tower defense and real-time strategy video game for iOS, Android, and Fire OS. The player is put in control a small fleet of human ships, the titular Strikefleet Omega, in a series of battles against a race of aliens that have destroyed the Earth. The player must defend their large, immobile ships by dispatching groups of smaller space fighters to fend off alien ships approaching from all directions. In later stages of the game, additional types of fighter and additional weapons become available. Developed by Harebrained Schemes and published by 6waves, Strikefleet Omega was released for iOS and Android on 21 June 2012 and for Fire OS on 6 July 2012. It received mostly positive reviews. Reviewers praised the gameplay and control scheme, but were harshly critical of the in-game purchase system. Gameplay Strikefleet Omega is a mobile game that combines elements from the tower defense and real-time strategy genres. In the game, the player assumes control over a collection of ships, the titular Strikefleet Omega, on a mission to kill the queen of an alien race that has already destroyed the Earth and the other Strikefleets. The game takes place over a series of battles, each set in different a star system that is successively closer to the alien queen. In each battle the player must destroy a set number of alien vessels while protecting Strikefleet Omega's capital ship, the E.E.F. Retribution. To do this, the player swipes across the screen in the direction of the alien vessels that they want to engage, which dispatches fighter craft from the E.E.F. Retribution. The fighter craft are not directly controlled by the player, but rather follow the line drawn by the player and automatically engage enemies along that path. As the game progresses, the player will unlock additional types of deployable craft, which are used to counter new types of alien vessel. The player will also be able to launch artillery shells from the capitol ship, which reach their destination after a brief delay. In later stages the player will also be able to deploy mining craft, which gather resources that the player can then use to warp in additional capitol ships that carry additional fighter craft or artillery. Selecting which ships to deploy and when to deploy them is the key to successfully completing each level. At the end of each level, the player's performance is assessed, and the player is given between one and three stars. A higher rating leads to greater rewards, in the form of experience points, which allow the player to level up ships, and in alloy, an in-game currency that players use to purchase new ships. A second, premium currency is also used in the game. Called Megacreds, the premium currency can be used to purchase ships and one-time use boosts called Perks, and can also be used to purchase a screen-clearing attack called the Death Blossom. The most powerful ships require Megacreds to purchase, and the most powerful upgrades to the other ships also require Megacreds. While they are primarily designed |
265 | Elisheba | Elisheba, also spelled Elisheva (; ’Ělîšeḇa‘), was the wife of Aaron, the elder brother of Moses and the ancestor of the Jewish high priests, according to the Hebrew Bible. She was said to be a daughter of Amminadab, and a sister of Nahshon, from the Tribe of Judah (). However in the Modern day the name is pronounced as Ellie- shev- aaa The Hebrew name is composed of two parts. In Hebrew, "El" signifies "God" and "Sheba" means "abundance", so the name Eli-sheba can be translated as "God is abundance". The Hebrew Bible records that Elisheba and Aaron had four sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar (). Levitical priests or kohanim are traditionally believed and halakhically required to be of direct patrilineal descent from Aaron and Elisheba's two youngest sons, Eleazar and Ithamar. In the New Testament, in first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke, a woman named Elisabet (Greek: Ἐλισάβετ) is said to be a descendant of Aaron and the wife of Zechariah, who was also a priest. She was a relative of Mary, mother of Jesus and gave birth to John the Baptist. Elizabeth is the common modern English variant of Elisabet, derived from Elisheba. A notable example is Queen Elizabeth II. Alishba is a modern South Asian name that derives from Elisheba. An example is the Pakistani actress Alishba Yousuf.

269 | Pennypit Park | Pennypit Park is a sports complex located in the town of Prestonpans, East Lothian in Scotland. It consists of two sports fields, one for association football and the other rugby union. It is the home of East of Scotland Football League club Preston Athletic F.C. and rugby union club Preston Lodge RFC. It has a capacity of 1,500 with 313 seats. History Pennypit Park was constructed after Preston Links Park was bought by the South of Scotland Electricity Board in order to build Cockenzie power station. In return, Pennypit Park was constructed over an old coal pit dating to 1202. The name came from miners in the area who were earning a penny a shift working there so it became known as "The Penny Pit". The pitch was planted in the 1950s. In the 1970s, Preston Lodge RFC and East Lothian District Council paid for a new pavilion and rugby pitch to be constructed. In 1992, with Pennypit Park in need of renovations, the Pennypit Community Trust was set up and raised £500,000 for redevelopment. The redevelopment was completed in 1994. The ground has been used to host the Scotland Development XV rugby team and Rugby tens. Preston Lodge used to have their clubhouse at Pennypit Park following the sale of their old clubhouse at Rope Walk. In 2013, they moved their social space from Pennypit Park to Prestongrange Bowling Club after purchasing their clubhouse. In 2013, a Scottish Cup match between Preston Athletic and Queen's Park was abandoned by fans throwing smoke bombs. In 2016, the stadium was vandalised with grafitti on the stand and beer bottles thrown on the pitch.

273 | Nong Chik District | Nong Chik (, ) is a district (amphoe) in Pattani Province, southern Thailand. History Nong Chik was one of the seven states (mueang) into which the Pattani Kingdom was split in the early-19th century to diminish the power of the often rebellious tributary kingdom. The capital was put in tambon Nong Mai (Yarang District). In 1901 the district office was moved to Tu Yong, where it remains. Due to the district office location in Tu Yong, the district was renamed "Tu Yong" in 1917. In 1938 it was again renamed "Nong Chik". Geography Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Mueang Pattani, Yarang, Mae Lan, and Khok Pho of Pattani Province; and Thepha of Songkhla Province. To the north is the Gulf of Thailand. Economy Nong Chik is the center of the two year-old Orangpantai Fishing Enterprise (literally, 'sea gypsy company'). It is a cooperative that specializes in the catch, preparation, and sale of preserved fish. Its specialty is salted four-finger threadfins, locally known as plaa kulao, as well as salted spotted mackerel or plaa insee, dried squid, and smooth-textured shrimp paste. The majority of its members belong to the Pattani Provincial Small-Scale Fisher Network Association, which works with local fishermen to conserve marine resources. Association members have one important rule—they must refrain from using destructive fishing gear and nets that trap juvenile fish as by-catch. The enforcement of this rule has caused fish stocks in the area to rebound. Administration Central administration Nong Chik is divided into 12 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 76 administrative villages (mubans). Local administration There are two sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambons) in the district: Bo Thong (Thai: ) consisting of sub-district Bo Thong and parts of sub-district Bang Khao. Nong Chik (Thai: ) consisting of parts of sub-district Tuyong. There are 11 subdistrict administrative organizations (SAO) in the district: Ko Po (Thai: ) consisting of sub-district Ko Po.

277 | Weishi Rockets | The Weishi (WS; ) family of multiple rocket launcher systems were mainly developed by Sichuan Aerospace Industry Corporation (SCAIC, also known as Base 062) in Chengdu, China. The systems include the 302 mm WS-1 (100 km range), the improved 302 mm WS-1B (180 km range), the 122 mm WS-1E (40 km), the 400 mm WS-2 (200 km range), as well as many other models. The WS-1 series weapon system did not enter PLA service and has order from Thailand. The WS-2 may finally see PLA service in the future. It's worth noticing that although sharing the same name, there are other developers for different models of Weishi series multiple rocket launchers (MRL) other than the primary developer SCAIC. China Aerospace Long-March International ALIT (CASC) has published a table showing the ranges of most of the WS rockets. There are unguided, guided and precision guided rockets. WS-1 SCAIC began to develop an unguided large-calibre multiple launch rocket system for the PLA ground forces in the late 1980s. The resulting Weishi-1 (WS-1) 302 mm, 4-tube multiple rocket system was first tested in 1990. However, the weapon system failed to impress the PLA, and no production order was received. The ground equipment of the WS-1 comprises: a rocket launch truck, a transport and loading truck and a firing command truck. A WS-1 rocket battalion is equipped with: DZ-88B firing command truck (4 men): 1; MF-4 rocket launch truck (3 men): 6~9; QY-88 transport and loading truck (3 men): 6~9; High-altitude meteorological radar (3 men): 1; Rockets per launch truck: 40~60 ; Khaibar-1 could be based on Weishi Rockets. WS-1B SCAIC continued the WS-1 development in the 1990s and introduced the improved WS-1B in the late 1990s. The WS-1B mainly targeted foreign customers and was actively marketed by Beijing-based China National Precision Machinery Corporation (CPMIEC). Compared to the WS-1, the WS-1B features an increased range of 180 km. A WS-1B rocket battalion is equipped with: DZ-4B firing command truck (5 men): 1; HF-4B rocket launch truck (3 men): 6~9; QY-4B transport and loading truck (3 men): 6~9; Type 702 high-altitude meteorological radar (3 men): 1; Rockets per launch truck: 40~60; WS-1E The WS-1E is the 122 mm multiple rocket system developed by SCAIC as a successor to the PLA's current Type 81 122 mm rocket system. It is similar to the Type 90 122 mm rocket system and did not enter production. A WS-1E rocket battalion is equipped with: DZ-88B firing command truck (5 men): 1; MF-40 rocket launch truck (3 men): 6; Rockets per launch truck: 120~160; WS-1F Little is known except that range reaches 500 km. T-300 Kasırga The Turkish missile system, T-300 Kasirga MBRL (also called TRG-300) is based on Chinese WS-1B (Wei Shi; Guardian), with some modifications on the design with launcher very similar to the WS-1B's launcher. In Turkish land forces service, the 302 mm T-300 Kasirga MBRL system provides long range fire support The T-300 Kasirga MBRLS consists of two key parts: The launcher system (T-300) and the rocket, TR-300. The T-300 MBRL is based on the German MAN (6×6) |
278 | James Bulliard | James Bulliard (born August 23, 1978) is a Canadian actor. Born in Bern, Switzerland, he moved to Canada at the age of three and began his career on a radio program called Not the History of Rock and Roll at the age of six (for which he received an ACTRA award nomination.) His first role in a feature film occurred in 1993, when he appeared in the movie Ordinary Magic, starring Glenn Headly and Ryan Reynolds. While attending university at Trinity College at the University of Toronto, he won the college's award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Sir John Barrymore in a production of Paul Rudnick's I Hate Hamlet. Although his work has been concentrated mainly in Canada and consisted of guest roles on such series as Tekwar, The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo and Real Kids, Real Adventures, his first big break occurred in 2001, when he was cast as "Randy" in the so-called "N*Sync movie", On The Line. The movie was a relative flop at the box office, but soon after it garnered Bulliard some attention from south of the border, and he was cast as the lead character in the now-defunct 2002 ABC drama That Was Then. The show lasted only two weeks before being pulled from the network lineup, due to poor ratings (caused in part, no doubt, by the similarity of the plotline to the WB show Do Over, airing during the same season.) After the cancellation of That Was Then, Bulliard picked up a few sparse guest roles on such series as Mutant X, Relic Hunter and NYPD Blue, but for the most part his career fizzled out after his short-lived success with That Was Then. In July 2006, he was interviewed by Los Angeles writer Tim Coyne on "The Hollywood Podcast"; during this interview he narrated the events of his life both before and after the collapse of the show. He has since left the acting business.

280 | NrdJ RNA motif | The nrdJ RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics. The nrdJ motif is found in the genus Streptomyces. nrdJ RNAs occur upstream of nrdJ genes, which encode class II ribonucleotide reductase. The RNAs therefore likely function as cis-regulatory elements, but this is uncertain because of some cases in which the downstream gene is located very far away. References Category:Non-coding RNA |

283 | Southern League Cup (Scotland) | The Southern League Cup was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of national competitions. Held between 1940 and 1946, the competition all teams from the Southern League and was played as four groups of four with the group winners forming the semi-finals. In the final season, due to additional teams, the competition doubled in size with quarter-finals for the eight group winners. Rangers dominated the tournament, appearing in every final and winning four out of the six. On two occasions, the winners were decided by which team had more corner kicks after the finals ended in draws. The Southern League Cup helped to contribute to the present-day Scottish League Cup: it was merged with its North Eastern equivalent in the 1945–46 season, with the nationwide competition proving popular (the final, won by Aberdeen, attracted a crowd of crowd of 135,000 at Hampden Park). It was thus continued on those lines on an official basis from then on. As the war ended, regular league football returned in 1946, with the regional leagues and cups disbanded.

284 | Mossmain, Montana | Mossmain is a ghost town in Yellowstone County, Montana, United States in the Billings metro area. The latitude of Mossmain is 45.684N. The longitude is -108.71W. It is in the Mountain Standard time zone. Elevation is 3,274 feet. History The original town site of Mossmain was situated Just off of East Laurel Main Street and S. 72nd Street West. The community was founded and named after Preston Boyd Moss, who played a significant role in the infrastructure development and economic establishments in the Yellowstone County area, and specifically Billings. The City of the Future The town was originally intended to become a futuristic, showpiece city with fine architecture as well as a huge regional hub that would link many surrounding major cities together. As ambitious as it was, one of the hopes was that Mossmain would eventually juxtapose Billings, the motivation of this project being in part to create a "fresh start" to do what wasn't done in Billings. The town was specifically planned out to accommodate for a massive rail junction and a showcase of architecture and modern culture. The design layout was intended to be concentric, with all parts of town interconnecting to a well-organized town center. The town was built approximately 10 miles west of Billings and several miles east of Laurel. The plans for Mossmain were drawn up by one of the most brilliant architects and city planners in the world, Walter Burley Griffin, who also designed the city plan and some of the architecture for Canberra, the capital of Australia. Decline The onset of the Great Depression followed by World War II left Moss's dream for a planned city hobbled by lack of funds and material resources. Along with this, the nature of the town's planning was highly experimental and many aspects had already become technologically outdated. The rail link intended for Mossmain was built running through Laurel and bypassing Mossmain. The end results of these events led to the town's inevitable demise. Far from becoming "America's First Garden City," it was never more than a few dirt roads and some scattered dwellings. The Mossmain post office was operational from 1916 until its closure in 1935. There is almost no visual evidence of Mossmain today, only the town's old main street, Mossmain Lane, and some scattered tree lining remains. Much of the surrounding roads and landscape were destroyed with the construction of the Interstate Highway System and an adjacent overpass connecting I90 with the old Frontage road and E. Main Street, rendering much of the area unrecognizable. There are a few more recent industrial sites that have been built on and around the old road. However, all of the original town structures have been removed. But, if you plan to explore something obscure yet with unique and significant historical value, the site can be easily accessed from the East Laurel interchange on I-90.

292 | Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... | Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... is the debut studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon, released on August 1, 1995, by Loud Records and RCA Records. The album was loosely composed to play like a film with Raekwon as the "star," fellow Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah as the "guest-star," and producer RZA as the "director." It features appearances from every member of the Wu-Tang Clan except for Old Dirty Bastard. The album also features debut appearances for affiliates Cappadonna and Blue Raspberry. It also features an acclaimed guest appearance from rapper Nas, which marked the first collaboration with a non-affiliated artist on a Wu-Tang related album. Upon its release, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 chart, and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, while selling 130,000 copies in its opening week. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 2, 1995, and according to Nielsen Soundscan, it has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States alone. Although it failed to acquire the same initial sales success as previous Wu-Tang solo albums, Cuban Linx achieved greater critical praise, with many complimenting its cinematic lyricism and production. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... has received acclaim from music critics and writers over the years, with many lauding it as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. With its emphasis on American Mafia insinuations and organized crime, the album is widely regarded as a pioneer of the mafioso rap subgenre. It is considered to have been highly influential on hip hop music over the next decade, being heavily referenced and influential on acclaimed albums such as Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt (1996) and The Notorious B.I.G.'s Life After Death (1997). Along with GZA's Liquid Swords, Cuban Linx is the most acclaimed solo Wu-Tang work. In 2012, Rolling Stone magazine placed it at number 480 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. Background Raekwon released Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... as his first solo album, and the third seen from the Wu after the release of their debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), with Method Man's Tical and Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version released prior. The song "Can It Be All So Simple," from 36 Chambers, marked the first recorded exhibition of Raekwon and Ghostface Killah as a duo, as the two would further establish this alliance on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.... Much of the content on the album deals with real life topics and situations that both Raekwon and Ghostface Killah commonly encountered and experienced while growing up in Staten Island, New York. In an interview with Wax Poetics, Raekwon explained "I grew up in the street, so I talked about the shit I knew and saw. We did the hustlin' thing, we did the crime thing; we did all the things that made us feel like mobsters or Mafiosos in some way." In a different article, Ghostface Killah recollected "Back then I was punchin' |
293 | Jerry Lundergan | Gerald G. Lundergan (born 1946 or 1947) is an American businessman, politician and member of the Democratic Party from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He served in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1980 to 1985 and 1987 to 1989 and has served as Chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party on two separate occasions. He is the father of Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Secretary of State of Kentucky. Early life Lundergan is from Maysville, Kentucky. He is the oldest of five children. His father sold chicken and pork chops at state fairs. His father died at age 45, when he was 18 years old. His mother took a job as a clerk for the sheriff, while Jerry and his siblings continued to sell food. Lundergan graduated from the University of Kentucky and then worked as a staffer to U.S. Representative John B. Breckinridge. Lundergan and his brother turned their food business into Lundy's, a catering company, in 1977. Career Lundergan challenged Steve Beshear, a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, in the Democratic Party primary election in 1975. With about 2,700 votes cast in the election, Beshear defeated Lundergan by 202 votes. Lundergan ran against Beshear again in 1977. With over 4,100 total votes, Beshear defeated Lundergan by 412. In 1979, Beshear ran for Attorney General of Kentucky and Lundergan won his seat unopposed. Lundergan became friends with fellow freshman legislator Greg Stumbo. He was easily re-elected in 1981 and ran for Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts in 1983 after Democratic incumbent James B. Graham ran for Kentucky Superintendent of Public Instruction. Lundergan lost the primary election to Mary Ann Tobin by 143,836 votes (38.94%) to 77,419 (20.96%). Tobin went on to win the general election. Lundergan ran for re-election to the State House in 1984, state legislative elections having been moved from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years. During the Democratic primary campaign, which the Lexington Herald-Leader described as "bitter", Lundergan's main opponent, attorney and first-time candidate Shirley Allen Cunningham, accused his campaign of voter intimidation and possibly violating the civil rights of some black voters. Lundergan lost the primary election to Cunningham by 27 votes out of 2,941 cast. He went on to lose the general election to Republican Margaret J. Stewart. Lundergan made a comeback in 1986, winning the Democratic primary against Eleanor H. Leonard and then unseating Stewart in the general election by 4,617 votes (54.7%) to 3,823 (45.3%). Lundergan supported Wallace Wilkinson's campaign for Governor of Kentucky in the 1987 election. Lundergan briefly served as Chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party during Wilkinson's administration. Ten weeks into his service, Lundergan was found to have accepted a no-bid contract worth $153,998 to cater a state event. At Wilkinson's request, he stepped down as party chair on August 22, 1988. In his 1988 re-election bid, Lundergan was challenged by Cunningham again in the Democratic primary but this time he easily defeated him, by 2,826 votes (62.37%) to 1,630 (35.97%). In the general election, Lundergan initially faced no Republican opposition but after news of his being charged with ethics violations, he |
294 | Tensor fasciae latae muscle | The tensor fasciae latae (or tensor fasciæ latæ or, formerly, tensor vaginae femoris) is a muscle of the thigh. Together with the gluteus maximus, it acts on the iliotibial band and is continuous with the iliotibial tract, which attaches to the tibia. The muscle assists in keeping the balance of the pelvis while standing, walking, or running. Structure It arises from the anterior part of the outer lip of the iliac crest; from the outer surface of the anterior superior iliac spine, and part of the outer border of the notch below it, between the gluteus medius and sartorius; and from the deep surface of the fascia lata. It is inserted between the two layers of the iliotibial tract of the fascia lata about the junction of the middle and upper thirds of the thigh. The tensor fasciae latae tautens the iliotibial tract and braces the knee, especially when the opposite foot is lifted. The terminal insertion point lies on the lateral condyle of the tibia. Nerve supply Tensor fasciae latae is innervated by the superior gluteal nerve, L5 and S1. At its origins of the anterior rami of L4, L5, and S1 nerves, the superior gluteal nerve exits the pelvis via greater sciatic foramen superior to the piriformis. The nerve also courses between the gluteus medius and minimus. The superior gluteal artery also supplies the tensor fasciae latae. The superior gluteal nerve arises from the sacral plexus and only has muscular innervation associated with it. There is no cutaneous innervation for sensation that stems from the superior gluteal nerve. Function The tensor fasciae latae is a tensor of the fascia lata; continuing its action, the oblique direction of its fibers enables it to stabilize the hip in extension (assists gluteus maximus during hip extension). The fascia lata is a fibrous sheath that encircles the thigh like a subcutaneous stocking and tightly binds its muscles. On the lateral surface, it combines with the tendons of the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae to form the iliotibial tract, which extends from the iliac crest to the lateral condyle of the tibia. In the erect posture, acting from below, it will serve to steady the pelvis upon the head of the femur; and by means of the iliotibial tract it steadies the condyles of the femur on the articular surfaces of the tibia, and assists the gluteus maximus in supporting the knee in a position of extension. The basic functional movement of tensor fasciae latae is walking. The tensor fasciae latae is heavily utilized in horse riding, hurdling and water skiing. Some problems that arise when this muscle is tight or shortened are pelvic imbalances that lead to pain in hips, as well as pain in the lower back and lateral area of knees. Because of its insertion point on the lateral condyle of the tibia, it also aids in the lateral rotation of the tibia. This lateral rotation may be initiated in conjunction with hip abduction and medial rotation of the femur while kicking a soccer ball. The tensor fasciae latae works in |
295 | Epping, New South Wales | Epping is a suburb of Sydney, in the Australian state of New South Wales, 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of the City of Parramatta. Epping is located in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney, and is sometimes simply referred to as the “North-West” or North Shore. The suburb is the most north-eastern area of the City of Parramatta. North Epping is a separate suburb to the north and under a different council, Hornsby Shire. Epping is a major road link and public transport interchange. High density housing surrounds the train station, while low density parts of the suburb obtain leafy streets and large federation homes on big blocks of land. History The Wallumedegal Aboriginal tribe lived in the area between the Lane Cove River and Parramatta River. In 1792, Governor Arthur Phillip began the granting of parcels of lands to marines, and the area was referred to on Phillip's maps as the Field of Mars, Mars being the Roman god of war. It contained the area of what is now Epping, along with the surrounding suburbs of Ryde and Marsfield. Epping railway station was opened on 17 September 1886, originally named "Field of Mars", and quickly renamed to "Carlingford" on 5 April 1887. The Post Office was opened on 16 October 1889, originally named "East Carlingford". In 1899 the suburb name of Epping was adopted following the suggestion by a local landowner William Midson (1849–1924), after a town near Epping Forest in Essex, where his father was born. At this time, the names of the post office and the railway station were both changed to Epping. The Seven Network had its headquaters and television production studios in Epping until 2009. The site is now occupied by residential apartments. Until 2016, parts of Epping were under three different councils: Hornsby Shire, City of Ryde and City of Parramatta. A 2015 review of local government boundaries recommended that all of Epping be amalgamated into the City of Parramatta, and this became effective on 12 May 2016. Commercial area Epping features a large Coles supermarket on Rawson Street, and many small businesses including newsagencies, pharmacies, Asian grocers and many restaurants near Epping railway station. Other commercial and light industrial developments are also located in the surrounding area. The Epping RSL Club is a popular venue, which attracts many people including students from the nearby Macquarie University. Epping also has a pub (the Epping Hotel) with its own nightclub, Tracks. Redevelopment as "Urban Renewal Area" A major re-development of the Epping Town Centre is planned as part of the NSW government's "Urban Renewal Area" programme (originally called the "Urban Activation Precincts" programme). The changes to zoning for this programme cover 54 hectares, including provision for building heights of 8 to 22 storeys for mixed commercial and residential use within a 400-metre radius of the railway station, and about 3,750 additional homes within 800 metres of it. These zoning changes were finalized and approved in March 2014, although residents have expressed concerns about issues including traffic management, lack of |
