Cox's was a department store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With a four-story flagship store in the downtown business district of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Cox's had seven retail stores in shopping malls throughout the Pittsburgh area.
History
Cox's was the successor to a small seamstress shop established in 1884 by Mary Ann Cox in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. By the 1950s, the operation had grown so much that Robert Cox, grandson of Mary Ann, purchased the White Opera house at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Walnut Street in the downtown business district of McKeesport and demolished it to build a flagship department store. The modern four-story department store, built in the International Style, opened in 1955. A large concrete medallion of William Shakespeare that had served as a centerpiece of the opera house was retained and displayed on the lower level of the department store.
During the 1970s, there were seven additional locations in shopping malls throughout the Pittsburgh area. The flagship store was expanded. However, by the early 1980s, an economic recession in the Pittsburgh area had resulted in an unemployment rate of 22.8 percent. On November 2, 1982, the company filed for bankruptcy. After sitting vacant for over a decade, the flagship store in McKeesport was demolished in 1994.

Fridolina Rolfö (born 24 November 1993) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish Liga F club FC Barcelona and the Sweden women's national team.
Club career
After joining from Tölö, Rolfö scored nine league goals for Jitex in her debut Damallsvenskan season, 2011. Her favoured position was on the right wing, so she could cut inside and shoot with her strong left foot. She was named the 2011 Women's Junior Player of the Year by Göteborgs-Posten,
Rolfö signed for Linköping in 2014 and scored a hat-trick on her UEFA Women's Champions League debut against English champions Liverpool.
In November 2016, it was announced that Rolfö would sign for current Frauen-Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. She signed an 18-month contract, starting from 1 January 2017. In each of her three seasons in Germany Bayern Munich finished runners up to VfL Wolfsburg in the league.
In May 2019, current Frauen-Bundesliga champions VfL Wolfsburg announced the signing of Rolfö to a two-year contract.
On 25 August 2020, Rolfö scored the only goal against Barcelona in their single-legged Champions League semifinal victory to book a place in the final, where her team eventually lost 1–3 to Lyon.
On June 30, 2021, Rolfö left VfL Wolfsburg after the expiration of her contract. On 7 July 2021, she signed a two-year deal with Barcelona. On 4 September, Rolfö made her official debut for Barcelona when she came on for the last 18 minutes, replacing Mariona Caldentey in her side's 5–0 routing of Granadilla Tenerife. A week later, she scored her first goal for the club, when she slotted her side's fourth goal in another 5–0 victory against Real Betis.
In January 2023, Rolfö extended her contract with Barcelona until June 2026.
International career
Rolfö played for Sweden under-19 international team at the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. She helped Sweden win the competition by defeating Spain 1–0 in extra time.
Rolfö's club form with Linköping caught the eye of national team coach Pia Sundhage, who promptly handed Rolfö a debut cap in Sweden's 2–1 friendly defeat by Germany at Eyravallen on 29 October 2014. In her five-minute substitute appearance she almost scored but was denied by German goalkeeper Nadine Angerer.
Rolfö played in the 2016 Summer Olympics at Rio de Janeiro helping Sweden to a silver medal after losing in the final to Germany. Rolfö did not feature in the 2–1 loss in the Gold Medal Match, after suffering a tournament ending injury in the quarter-final against the USWNT.
On 16 June 2019, Rolfö scored her first goal in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in a 5–1 win over Thailand.
Rolfö was selected to represent Sweden in the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo in 2021. She featured in every match except for Sweden's final group stage match against New Zealand. She scored three goals in five matches as her team won the silver medal again after being defeated 2–3 on penalties by Canada.

Linda Eder (; born February 3, 1961) is an American singer and actress. She made her Broadway debut in the musical Jekyll & Hyde, originating the role of Lucy Harris, for which she was nominated for the Drama Desk Award. Eder has performed in concert halls across the country including Carnegie Hall and Radio City Musical Hall. She has released her 18th solo album in 2018.
Biography
Eder was born in Tucson, Arizona, on February 3, 1961, and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota. Her parents, Georg (from Austria) and Laila (from Norway), exposed her to music at an early age. She cites Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Eileen Farrell as her childhood inspiration. Eder cites Garland, specifically, as her greatest influence. Her first musical theater credit was as the Mother Abbess in a high school production The Sound of Music. Eder was 4th runner up in the 1980 Miss Minnesota Pageant.
Before her work on Broadway, Eder sang in clubs in Minneapolis and performed at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1988 she won the talent show Star Search, where her performance caught the notice of Frank Wildhorn. She signed with RCA Records and starred in two 1991 stagings of Wildhorn's musical Svengali (the 1990 world premiere and 1995–96 national tour), the 1997 Broadway production of his Jekyll & Hyde, and the 2003 World Premiere of Camille Claudel. During those years, Eder recorded several CDs on Angel Records and Atlantic Records. Wildhorn and Eder married in 1998 and divorced in 2004; they have one son, Jake. Eder won the Theater World Award (1996–97) for Best Broadway Debut in Jekyll & Hyde.
After her first solo concert at New York's famous Carnegie Hall she caught the attention of two talk show hosts who were in the audience that night: Rosie O'Donnell and Kathie Lee Gifford. She subsequently appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show and Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and the Late Show with David Letterman. She was invited to Gifford's final performance on Live... and sang the song "Anything Can Happen", which was written for the musical Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure,
Broadway
Eder's major theatrical career began in 1987, when she auditioned in Florida in front of musical theater composer Frank Wildhorn for the leading role of Lucy in Jekyll & Hyde. Very impressed with her vocal skills, she was immediately cast, although no production was planned at that time. Linda has also performed holiday concerts on Broadway at The Palace and Gershwin theaters.
Jekyll & Hyde
In 1990, the Alley Theatre in Houston agreed to host the world premiere of Jekyll & Hyde, the first musical ever performed there. The show was extended several times, and Eder received raves for her performance. Following this triumph, Wildhorn debuted the musical Svengali, starring his two leading performers from Jekyll: Linda and Chuck Wagner. The musical also eventually played at the Asolo Theatre in Sarasota, Florida in 1991. She then performed with several workshops for The Scarlet Pimpernel, as the leading lady Marguerite St. Just, as well as appearing on the concept recording.
In 1995, after several workshops with Jekyll & Hyde, she was once again Lucy; Robert Cuccioli and Christiane Noll starred opposite her. The show remounted at the Theatre Under the Stars in Houston, before moving to Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre. Following these two successful runs, Eder's headlining stint as Lucy traveled across the nation from Fall 1995 until Spring 1996, with a hopeful Broadway mounting in Spring 1996. However, the show was delayed.
Finally beginning previews the following March 1997, new creative team members joined. Along with the transfer came the dismissal of Lucy's first big number, "Bring on the Men". Although several rumors have circulated as to why it was cut, Eder has said that it was director/choreographer/scenic designer Robin Phillips who cut the song, which was not only one of her favorite songs, but a fan favorite as well. She has, however, given him some praise, mostly due to the acting coaching he gave her.
In 1997, she was nominated for the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award and won the Theatre World Award for her debut performance. Television personalities such as Regis Philbin and Rosie O'Donnell considered Eder robbed of a Tony Award nomination, both of whom had featured her (and Frank Wildhorn and his other musicals) on their respective shows several times. Eder was married to Wildhorn whilst performing on Broadway, and officially left on August 30, 1998. Luba Mason replaced her. Eder left Jekyll to start a family but agreed to be cast in the limited run of the world premiere of Wildhorn's musical tapestry, The Civil War for its Houston premiere.
Eder performed for several workshops and demo recordings for Wildhorn. Most importantly, she did several tracks for his Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure (previously called Alice), which had its world premiere ten years after the first single ("Anything Can Happen") was released, Havana (for which she has released the title song and several others), Bonnie & Clyde: A New Musical (which was to recently star Brandi Burkhardt, but now Laura Osnes, having its world premiere in 2009), Dracula, the Musical as Mina, Cyrano de Bergerac - The musical as Roxanne (opposite Douglas Sills in the title role), and finally Camille Claudel, which was written for her, and she was able to perform at two runs.
Eder's next musical outing was in Camille Claudel in 2003. She performed the role at the Goodspeed Opera House. Although the show, presented in an entire chamber-style form, received mixed reviews, Eder gained much attention again. In 2004, it was performed at the New York Musical Theatre Festival. However, the show has yet to be produced on a major scale, although several European productions were planned and an eventual Japanese premiere in 2011.
The Other Side of Me
Released on September 30, 2008, her CD The Other Side of Me has a pop/country feel. This is a departure from the style she is known for, which is standards and ballads. Her official website has a posting where Eder says "It took a year and a half to make my new CD, the other side of me, but in reality, it has been a lifetime in the making."
She goes on to say:
Now
At a "Frank Wildhorn & Friends" concert in Vienna in 2010, Eder appeared with Wildhorn, and European musical theatre superstars Pia Douwes and Thomas Borchert to celebrate the music of Wildhorn. The two shared a song, "Living in the Shadows." Eder performed several numbers including "Vienna", a fitting ending to the concert. A live audio recording was released of the concert, but a planned DVD release was put on hold.
In 2011, Eder reunited with former record producer and musical arranger Jeremy Roberts and Wildhorn to work on two pieces. First, on the musical Tears of Heaven, which was produced in South Korea.
Also in 2011, Eder debuted her first Wildhorn-composed solo album since 2003, entitled Now. The recording received much acclaim and featured the single "Now" as well as a blend of pop songs and musical selections, such as "The Mad Hatter" (from Wonderland), "What's Never Been Done Before" (Camille Claudel), and "Living in the Shadows" (Victor/Victoria), which was originally written for Julie Andrews in the Broadway production of that musical.
In 2013 Eder recorded her 15th solo CD, a holiday themed album called Christmas Where You Are, which features a duet with her son Jake, then 14 years old. She adapted the lyrics to make it a personal and humorous mother and son duet.
She is becoming increasingly sought after for her successful Master Classes and vocal lessons.
Her concert schedule continues to take her across the country. In 2013 she performed a series of concerts entitled Memory Lane, incorporating key songs from her earliest performing days to the present.
Linda Live - The Live Concert Recording
On June 21, 2014, Eder performed a concert at the Arthur Zankel Music Center on the campus of Skidmore College. This performance was recorded and will become Eder's 15th solo album. The concert was performed to a crowd of nearly 500 people and contained Eder's signature songs which include, "Someone Like You" from Jekyll & Hyde, "Vienna" and "Man of La Mancha." Other songs performed that evening were all songs Eder said she performed throughout her career, including "I'm Not Lisa," "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, "Fernando" (by ABBA), "Don’t Cry for Me Argentina" from Evita and "Climb Ev’ry Mountain" from the only musical Eder said she performed in high school, The Sound of Music. Linda Live was released on September 9, 2014 and is sold exclusively on Eder's website.
Personal life
Linda Eder married Frank Wildhorn on May 3, 1998. They have a son, Jake, born in 1999. They separated in fall 2003 and divorced in 2004.

The German Equestrian Federation () is an umbrella organization in Germany for equestrian sports and breeding. It is the governing body for the majority of equestrian sports and their organization in Germany, including FEI-recognized disciplines of dressage, eventing, show jumping, vaulting, endurance, reining, para-equestrian, and driving. It also develops and enforces the rules for other events at horse shows. It is colloquially known as FN, short for the international term Fédération Équestre Nationale. The organisation runs the FNverlag, a publishing house for related books and other media
Description
The organization dates back to 1905, when an association of German half-blood breeders (Halbblutzüchter) was founded in Berlin. Its headquarters moved to Warendorf. It currently governs 17 regional equestrian associations with 7,600 Reit- und Fahrvereine (riding and driving clubs), 55,600 personal members, and 4,000 Pferdebetriebe (equestrian centers). It is a member of the Fédération Equestre Internationale and of the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund. It is affiliated with the international organisation since 1927.
The popularity of equestrian sports in Germany is reflected in the number of competition licences issued by the FN. In 2013, it issued 90,000 annual licences to confirm eligibility for competition events, 142,000 updated licences for competition horses, and 2,000 new passports for horses competing on the international circuit.
The FN organises equestrian sports, both in tournaments as for hobby riders, and matters of horse care and horse breeding. It is responsible for the education and counseling of its members. Further fields include veterinary medicine, advocacy of equine sports people, related legal matters, and environment protection. The FN promotes the status of the horse as a cultural achievement (Kulturgut Pferd). The organisation runs the FNverlag, a publishing house for related books and other media around its themes, including the rules governing education and exams (APO), those for tournaments, (LPO), and for breeding (ZVO).

Verbena simplex, commonly known as narrowleaf vervain, is a perennial herbaceous plant plant in the Verbenaceae (vervain) family. It is native to central and eastern North America where it is found in open, dry, habitats on calcareous soil. It produces lavender flowers in the summer.
Description
Verbena simplex is a perennial wildflower that grows as erect stems, branching from the base of the plant and unbranched or sparingly branched above, to a height of . Pairs of opposite, narrow leaves are spaced along the stems, which are glabrous or short-pubescent. The leaves measure long and less than across. The leaves are sessile or they may have a winged petiole. They are unlobed and finely toothed, narrowly lanceolate to oblanceolate or linear.
The inflorescence is a solitary flowering spike, measuring long and in diameter, at the end of the stem. The 5-lobed flowers are dark lavender or purple to white or bluish, long, and shaped like a trumpet.
Distribution and habitat
V. simplex is native in the United States from Nebraska to the west, Texas and Florida to the south, Massachusetts to the east and the Canadian border to the north. In Canada, it is native in Ontario and Quebec. It is tolerant of disturbance, and is often seen in pastures and roadsides with sparse vegetation.
Conservation status
It is listed as endangered in Massachusetts and New Jersey, and as a species of special concern in Connecticut, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
Ecology
The flowers bloom June through August and are attractive to bees, skippers and probably butterflies.

Bill and Coo is a 1948 film directed by Dean Riesner, filmed in Trucolor, and conceived to showcase George Burton's trained birds (Burton's Birds).
The 61-minute live-action film stars many types of birds, including budgies (commonly known in the US as parakeets) and lovebirds. The film also features other trained animals, including cats, dogs and a crow. Except for three humans (producer Ken Murray, bird trainer George Burton, and Elizabeth Walters) in a short set-up segment before the opening credits, the film features an all-animal cast. The film was shot on the world's second smallest film set, a miniature village built onto a tabletop.
The film received an Honorary Academy Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences "In which artistry and patience blended in a novel and entertaining use of the medium of motion pictures."
It was also one of the first films to be released to cinemas on slow-burning cellulose acetate safety film instead of the dangerously inflammable nitrate stock used up until then. Initially, projectionists reported film damage due to the acetate base being less 'slippery' than that of nitrate (celluloid) based film. Before long it was found that a thin coating of wax applied along the film edges solved this problem.
The copyright on the film lapsed and is in the public domain.
Plot
The plot of the film is that the birds live in a fictional, peaceful town named Chirpendale. A crow arrives known as the Black Menace. As his name suggests, the Black Menace terrorizes the town. The story follows the adventures of the hero Bill, a cab driver, as he tries to save Coo and the rest of the town's inhabitants from certain destruction.

Located alongside the suburb of Newington, New South Wales, and named in honour of Australian paralympic wheelchair racer Louise Sauvage, the Pathway is the longest continuous section of pathway in Sydney Olympic Park. As such, the pathway is suitable for walking and pushbikes, as well as wheelchairs.
Facilities
The Pathway is two-lane, marked and sealed throughout, with numerous detours along its length, ranging from two-lane and marked, to one-lane sealed and an assortment of recognised and unrecognised unsealed paths. The pathway is only interrupted in two locations where the access roads cross into Newington, the former athletes' village. Amenities for travellers are provided along the path, including five water fountains and a toilet facility.
Historical links
The Pathway provides a north-south link between the Parramatta River and the Western Motorway, passing the last remaining piece of virgin woodland in Sydney's Cumberland basin. The Pathway also provides access to Newington Armory as well as passing by some adjoining land, closed to all public access due to unexploded ordnance buried in the swamp.
Two of the former buildings of the Newington Arms Depot are accessed by the Pathway and no longer within the grounds of the Armory: Building 46, a renovated educational building operated by Ausgrid, and a former US Navy trench-style artillery bunker behind Newington Precinct 3. These bunkers were serviced by narrow-gauge railway to carry the highly sensitive explosive shells; the rail tracks are still maintained, and many are openly accessible via the Pathway.
Environmental links
Numerous waterways and wetlands adjoin the Pathway and its linking paths. Some of the water bodies such as Haslams Creek link to the Parramatta River, whereas others such as the Narawang Wetlands are artificial lakes created as part of the Sydney Olympic Park environmental rejuvenation. The Bell Frog Boardwalk side-track provides access to some rare habitat of the Green and Golden Bell Frog.
The Newington Nature Reserve contains a Turpentine Ironbark Margin Forest that survives intact in the same condition as it was before Sydney was colonised.
Recreation and Events
Each year in September the pathway is closed for one day to make way for long-distance bicyclists travelling through Olympic Park. The pathway forms an integral part of the route for sporting events such as the Sydney Spring Cycle (Classic Route).
For cross-city riding, many preferred routes will use the combination of Silverwater Road Bridge, River Walk and Louise Sauvage Pathway. Such routes include any travel from the Hills District to the southern suburbs around Liverpool, and from Parramatta to the inner-western suburbs or Sydney Airport via the Cooks River cycleway.

Charles Russell Magel (June 3, 1920 – March 22, 2014) was an American philosopher, animal rights activist and bibliographer. He was professor emeritus of Philosophy and Ethics at Moorhead State University.
Early life
Charles Russell Magel was born on June 3, 1920, in Burlington, Iowa, where he grew up on a 150-acre farm with eight siblings. He studied electrical engineering at Iowa State College, going on to study at Northwestern University for three years.
After graduation, he worked as a night clerk at a hotel and served for five years in the US Naval Reserve during the Second World War. In 1950, inspired by Albert Schweitzer's autobiography Out of My Life and Thought, Magel enrolled in graduate school at the University of Minnesota to study philosophy.
Magel submitted his dissertation, An Analysis of Kierkegaard's Philosophic Categories in 1960. In 1962, he initiated a philosophy program at Moorhead State University.
Career
After reading Peter Singer's Animal Liberation and Tom Regan's "The Moral Basis of Vegetarianism", in 1975, Magel became a vegetarian and introduced an animal rights course onto the philosophy curriculum, making it one of the first university courses completely focused on the topic. He was considered to be a pioneer of applied ethics.
He was an outspoken opponent of animal testing, once stating: "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are like us.' Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are not like us.' Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction."
In the 1980 edition of Henry S. Salt's Animals' Rights Considered in Relation to Social Progress, edited by Peter Singer, Magel updated Salt's original bibliography. In 1981, Magel published A Bibliography on Animal Rights and Related Matters lists over 3,200 works. He retired from teaching in 1985. In 1989, Magel authored Keyguide to Information Sources in Animal Rights a bibliography of works dealing with animal rights. It was positively reviewed as an "outstanding resource that many academic libraries will want to acquire." Another review described it as a "carefully crafted and scholarly overview to the literature and philosophy of the animal rights movement."
In 1992, Magel published a new edition of J. Howard Moore's The Universal Kinship, including a biographical essay of Moore. In 1997, Magel published a new edition of Lewis Gompertz's Moral Inquiries on the Situation of Man and of Brutes.
Death
Magel died on March 22, 2014; he left Moorhead State University $800,000 to establish the Charles R. Magel Endowment Fund.

Jamawar, or grown piece, is a special type of shawl made in Kashmir, India. "Jama" means robe and "war/var" is chest and metaphorically body. The best quality of Jamawar is built with Pashmina. The brocaded parts are woven in similar threads of silk or polyester. Most of the designs seen today are floral, with the kairy as the predominant motif. Historically handmade items, some shawls took a couple of decades to complete; consequently, original Jamawar shawls are highly valued. Modern, machine-made Jamawar prints, produced in cities such as Kashmir and other parts of Himachal Pradesh cost less to buy but handmade Jamawar are very expensive.
Traders introduced this Chinese silk cloth to India, mainly from Samarkand and Bukhara and it gained immense popularity among the royalty and the aristocracy. Kings and nobles bought the woven fabric by the yard, wearing it as a gown or using it as a wrap or shawl. Jamawar weaving centres in India developed in the holy cities and the trade centres. The most well known Jamawar weaving centre is Kashmir and Punjab in India.
Due to its rich and fine raw materials, the rich and powerful merchants used Jamawar and noblemen of the time, who could not only afford it but could even commission the weavers to make the fabric for them, as in the case of the Mughals. Emperor Akbar was one of its greatest patrons. He brought many weavers from East Turkestan to Kashmir.

(stylised as Pro Wrestling NOAH) is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion, founded in 2000 by former All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) ace Mitsuharu Misawa after he had led a mass exodus in which 24 of AJPW's 26 contracted wrestlers left the promotion to form Noah.
Noah held its first shows in August 2000, and established the Global Honored Crown as the in-house governing body for its collection of championships. Throughout its -year history, Noah has had working relationships with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), Ring of Honor (ROH), Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW). In January 2020, the company was purchased by CyberAgent, parent company of DDT Pro Wrestling, with DDT's executives taking over Noah's operations and Noah's content appearing on DDT's streaming service Wrestle Universe.
History
Noah under Misawa (2000–2009)
In January 1999, AJPW founder and promoter Giant Baba died, leaving the company in the hands of his widow Motoko Baba as owner and Misawa as president. However, disheartened with Motoko Baba's proposed direction for the company, Misawa departed the promotion on May 28, 2000 to form a new promotion called Pro Wrestling Noah. All but two native stars (Masanobu Fuchi and Toshiaki Kawada) and eight gaijin (Maunakea Mossman, Johnny Smith, George Hines, Mike Barton, Jim Steele, Mike Rotunda, Stan Hansen and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams) followed Misawa. The promotion's name alludes to the Biblical story of Noah, in which the people and animals in the ark survive the flood and make a new beginning in the world, a story which was seen as a parallel to the wrestlers' departure from AJPW. Noah's original logo, an ark with a dove holding an olive branch, referred to this.
Pro Wrestling Noah is essentially a continuation of AJPW's promotional system in the 1990s, with a slight leeway to allow wrestlers from other promotions to compete, which is something that Giant Baba had forbid. Noah also features a strong junior heavyweight division, which was something that AJPW had been relatively lacking in the 1990s due to lack of pushes for the younger stars (such as Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Kenta and Naomichi Marufuji, who quickly became Noah's junior aces).
October 12, 2007 Baseball Magazine Sha, the publisher of Puroresu Shukan released Noah trading cards.
The Wrestling Observer named Noah as the best promotion in 2004 and 2005, as well as having the best weekly television show in 2003.
On June 13, 2009, Misawa teamed with Go Shiozaki against Akitoshi Saito and Bison Smith at Hiroshima Green Arena. After taking a belly to back suplex from Saito, Misawa lost consciousness and was taken to a hospital. He was pronounced dead in the hospital at 10:10 p.m. JST due to spinal damage. On June 27, 2009, Akira Taue was named as Misawa's successor, taking over as President of Pro Wrestling Noah. Also in 2009, Noah lost their weekly television show on Nippon TV.
Noah after Misawa (2009–present)
In March 2012, it was revealed that Noah management had ties to a Yakuza crime syndicate, which resulted in the promotion demoting General Manager Ryu Nakata and Counselor Haruka Eigen and enforcing new anti-Yakuza protocols; Noah also lost its TV show as part of the fallout.
On December 3, 2012, Noah released Kenta Kobashi from his contract, reportedly leading to Atsushi Aoki, Go Shiozaki, Jun Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru all announcing that they were not going to re-sign with the promotion after their own contracts expired in January 2013. On December 19, Noah confirmed that the five men had indeed refused to re-sign with the promotion and would be wrestling their final matches for the promotion on December 23 and 24. The following month, all five men joined AJPW. Kobashi returned to wrestle his retirement match in a Noah ring on May 11, 2013, at Final Burning in Budokan.
On May 12 at Noah's "New Chapter" show held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Akira Taue announced the signings of Daisuke Harada, Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste of The Mighty Don't Kneel (TMDK) as full-time members of the promotion. Taue also announced his retirement from in-ring competition to focus on his duties as the Chairman of the promotion and his retirement match would take place on December 7, 2013 at the Ariake Coliseum. On April 30, 2014, Noah's arguably biggest star and ace Kenta announced his resignation from the promotion to sign with WWE.
In early 2015, NJPW wrestler Jado took over as the new head booker of Noah. On April 21, one of Noah's bigger stars, Takeshi Morishima, was forced to retire from professional wrestling due to issues with his blood. On December 24, 2015, Noah announced the signing of freelancer Katsuhiko Nakajima. Four days later, Noah announced the departures of Mikey Nicholls, Shane Haste and Takeshi Morishima, following their contracts with the promotion expiring at the end of the year. On June 13, 2016, freelancer Go Shiozaki officially re-signed with Noah, three and a half years after his resignation from the promotion.
On November 1, 2016, it was announced that Noah had been sold to IT development company Estbee, Co, Ltd. As a result, former AJPW president Masayuki Uchida took over as the new Noah president. On November 7, Estbee officially changed its name to "Noah Global Entertainment kabushiki gaisha". On December 27, Noah announced the relocating of its offices from Ariake, Tokyo to Kanda-Misakichō due to Differ Ariake's scheduled closing in June 2018. At the end of 2016, NJPW pulled all of its wrestlers, including the entire Suzuki-gun stable, from Noah with reports stating that the relationship between the two promotions had turned "extremely sour". Having lost the NJPW relationship, Noah's attendance numbers went down by 29% during the first four months of 2017. On February 7, 2017, Noah announced a business alliance with American promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), which was extended in July, after TNA had been renamed Global Force Wrestling (GFW). In March 2017, Noah formed another partnership with Canadian promotion Border City Wrestling (BCW).
On February 1, 2019, Noah was purchased by Lidet Entertainment, acquiring a 75% stake in the company. This was followed the next month by the first major rebranding in company history. Pro Wrestling Noah not only changed their logo but also replaced the green mat with a white canvas.
On July 26, 2019, Major League Wrestling announced a working agreement with Pro Wrestling Noah, which would include a talent-exchange agreement and content collaboration between the two promotions.
On December 5, 2019, it was announced that Noah and the Mexico-based International Wrestling Revolution Group had entered into a talent-sharing partnership.
In January 2020, Noah was acquired by CyberAgent, parent company of DDT Pro Wrestling. DDT's President Sanshiro Takagi was named the President of Pro Wrestling Noah and Naomichi Marufuji the Vice President. Noah's events began airing on DDT's streaming service DDT Universe starting with Noah Global Jr. League 2020 on January 30. On July 27, 2020, it was announced Noah and DDT would merge in a new company, CyberFight. Both companies would run as separate brands under the CyberFight banner.
On November 19, 2021 Noah re-established its relationship with NJPW with Noah wrestlers being involved at the third night of NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 16 event, with a portion of proceeds donated to the Japanese Red Cross.

Pro Wrestling Sem
Pro Wrestling Sem was the junior affiliate of Pro Wrestling Noah launched in 2006. Its name came from the biblical figure Sem, the eldest son of Noah. Sem was originally headed by Naomichi Marufuji and Kenta, acting as coaches for the rookie competitors. Mitsuharu Misawa's inspiration for the venture came from the German Westside Xtreme Wrestling promotion, where he wrestled in March 2005. The seats are limited to a few hundred, so that all fans could sit close to the ring. Sem events usually took place in the Differ Ariake in Tokyo. No Sem events have been held since 2015.

Winifred Genevieve McDonald (June 8, 1888 – February 23, 1976) was an American politician and teacher who served as Secretary of the State of Connecticut from 1949 to 1951. A Democrat from Waterbury, she ousted Republican incumbent Frances B. Redick in 1948. McDonald narrowly lost her reelection bid to Republican nominee Alice K. Leopold in 1950.
Early life and education
McDonald was born Winifred Weis to parents Charles X. and Mary (McGuiness) Weis on June 8, 1888. She and her parents were all born in Waterbury, Connecticut. She attended parochial schools before earning her Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude from Saint Elizabeth University in 1910. She taught English at Ansonia High School and Crosby High School.
Political career
In 1940, McDonald began serving as a member of the Democratic State Central Committee from the 15th Senate District, as well as a member of the Democratic Town Committee of Waterbury—the first time women were allowed on the committee. She became vice chair of the town committee in 1947 and chair in 1954 and again in 1960, the year she retired from politics.
A charter member of the Waterbury Women's Democratic Club, she served as president of the New Haven County Democratic Federated Women's Club, chair of the Waterbury and New Haven County Council of Catholic Women, and president of the Saint Elizabeth College Alumna Association. She was active in child welfare and social services. McDonald was one of the first women in the state to serve on a grand jury and was the first woman from Waterbury to run for state office.
In her first bid for elected office in 1948, McDonald ran for Secretary of the State of Connecticut. She defeated Republican incumbent Frances Burke Redick by only 500 votes out of more than 860,000 cast. In 1949, she urged local officials to extend voting hours to allow Jewish voters to get to the polls after sunset, when Yom Kippur observance concluded.
McDonald narrowly lost her reelection bid in 1950 to Republican nominee Alice K. Leopold, losing by 400 votes.
Personal life
In 1912, she married Waterbury lawyer Edward J. McDonald. They had two sons, Edward Jr. and Robert J. McDonald.
McDonald died at Waterbury Hospital on February 23, 1976, at the age of 87. She was interred at the New Saint Joseph's Cemetery in Waterbury.

Saint and Greavsie was a British television show in which former footballers Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves discussed current football themes such as the day's matches. It ran on ITV from 1985 to 1992.
Format
Englishman Jimmy Greaves and Scotsman Ian St John were successful football players in the 1960s, but they did not play for the same club; Greaves spent the bulk of his career with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, while St John played mainly for Liverpool. Their collaboration as television football pundits started with On the Ball in World of Sport. Usually St John would host from the London studio and would cross over to Greaves, who was elsewhere, to get his views, but they would eventually be based in the same studio. The segment was highly popular, leading to the commissioning of Saint and Greavsie as a programme in its own right immediately after the demise of World of Sport in September 1985. A key characteristic of the show was comedy, with St John prompting Greaves to jokes and jibes.
The show was usually about 30 minutes long and was initially broadcast shortly after noon on Saturdays, to coincide with the build-up to that afternoon's football matches. In later years it usually went on air shortly after 1pm and in its final season was increased in length to a 45-minute slot. At various points in the show the goals of previous matches would be shown. The show included features on clubs in both English and Scottish leagues and discussion of that weekend's major games, emphasising matches that ITV planned to broadcast.
The series initially had a simple opening sequence showing a rotating rudimentary CGI-image of a football pitch revolving several times, before a still of the two presenters popped up at the end; the theme tune was initially identical to that used for the "On the Ball" segment of 'World of Sport. In later years, the introduction to the show began with St John and Greaves as cigarette cards from their playing days on the opening credits, and the theme tune was changed to a piece named "Aztec Gold", composed by Silsoe, which, at the time, was being used as the theme tune for ITV's The Big Match, after being the theme tune for the station's coverage of the 1986 World Cup.
Although the show predominantly dealt with football, it also covered sports such as cricket and boxing, with interviewees including Mike Tyson and Chris Eubank. When Greaves was ill at Christmas 1990, he was replaced by commentator Peter Brackley voicing a puppet modelled on him from Spitting Image, a show he had often featured on.
In the 1991–92 season, the Rumbelows Cup draw was broadcast on Saint and Greavsie. The away teams for the quarter-finals were drawn by future USA president Donald Trump, when the duo were in the United States to film a programme looking at how the country was preparing for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
Goal of the Season
After ITV secured the rights to show league football, the network had their own Goal of the Season award (the BBC had the rights to FA Cup matches, so their award always went to the winning goal in the FA Cup final). Every First Division club were eligible, with the best goal from each respective season chosen by the club's manager. The next week, the list was cut down to six, with the general public able to send their top three goals in order. The goal with the most votes was the winner.
In the final series, the twenty nominations were chosen by the Saint and Greavsie team, as more than one goal scored by Manchester United and Arsenal players were chosen. Goals from Second Division clubs were also included.
End of an era
In the summer of 1992, ITV lost the rights to broadcast top-tier English football matches as the newly formed Premier League contracted to Sky Sports. ITV then discontinued Saint and Greavsie. The final programmes were broadcast from Sweden during Euro 92, with the pair singing "The Last Time" in the final credits and making jokes at Sky's expense.
Aside from a 1995 series Saint and Greavsie's World of Sport, the pair did not present under the name Saint and Greavsie again, but continued to link up together and remained in touch. They occasionally presented Champions League preview shows together and both remained employed by ITV for several years. Together, they hosted the discussion show Sport in Question. St John continued to be used as a co-commentator for the ITV network until the arrival of Jim Beglin, while Greaves continued to appear as a pundit and co-commentator in the Central region until 1996, when he was gradually phased out in favour of Ron Atkinson. Away from their work, Greaves and St John rarely met due to living in Essex and on the Wirral respectively, but Greaves said they had a "lovely relationship".
In 2004, Saint and Greavsie were studio guests in an episode of Fantasy Football League, when they were described as the "godfathers" of football comedy by Frank Skinner and David Baddiel. In earlier years they had been parodied in sketches on the show. St John criticised Baddiel and Skinner in his autobiography and interviews, following their appearance on the show.
Other formats
In 1989, Grandslam Entertainment released Saint and Greavsie, a football trivia quiz game, on a variety of computer platforms. It was developed by Core Design. In 2006, Saint and Greavsie released a DVD quiz, featuring retro football action, with a book, Saint and Greavsie's Funny Old Games, having also since been published.
In May 2009, Setanta Sports announced that Saint and Greavsie were reforming their double act to star in a FA Cup Special on 30 May, the day of the Cup Final. The Saint and Greavsie FA Cup Special was broken up into three separate mini-programmes appearing throughout the build up to the Everton v Chelsea final.

Samuel Gottlieb Rudolph Henzi (7 September 1794 ), was a Swiss linguist, Professor at the University of Tartu (at the time: Dorpat) on the Chair of Exegetics and Oriental languages, the Dean of the theological faculty; head of the Tartu Branch of Russian Bible Society.
Biography
Henzi was born on 7 September 1794 in Bern, Switzerland, where he received his primary and university education. During his stay at the University of Bern, he spent three years studying philosophy, then theology.
In 1816, according to the Swiss custom of ordination, he was accepted as a candidate for church duties, after which he studied theology in Tübingen for another year, and from 1817 to 1818 studied the history in Göttingen. Upon his return, he was appointed vicar in Unterseen, but in the fall of 1818 he resigned his post and, wishing to fill his knowledge of the Eastern languages, went to Paris, where he studied Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit languages under Sylvestre de Sacy.
After spending some time in Great Britain, Henzi returned to his homeland in the summer of 1819, wishing to devote himself to academic activity. At this time, the Department of Exegesis and Oriental Languages was inaugurated at the University of Tartu, where he was elected to the University Council, and on 5 March 1820, he was appointed Ordinary Professor. Even before his departure, Henzi received a degree as a Doctor of Theology at University of Tübingen for processing part of the still unreleased Arabic commentary of Al-Baydawi on the Quran.
On 30 August 1820, he delivered an introductory lecture: "Über Verhältniss der Schriften des Alten und Neuen Testaments zu einander nach Inhalt und Form". In addition to lectures on Exegesis, he also gave lectures on Eastern languages, led practical exercises on Exegesis in the theological seminary, and during the 1822–1823 academic year Henzi temporarily supervised practical classes "on the Gospel pericopam".
In 1821, he became director of the Tartu Branch of the Russian Bible Society, and in 1822, a member of the school commission. He was elected dean of the theological faculty four times.
Henzi died on 1 February 1829 in Tartu.
For the funeral, Gottlieb Eduard Lenz wrote an Oratio Funebris in German and Latin, which is held at the National Library of Estonia.
Family
Henzi was the son of a very rich commerciant, Rudolph Jakob Henzi, of Bern.
Henzi married Margaretha Adriana Rosamunde Furer on 31 July 1821 in Tartu. Their son, Samuel Rudolf Henzi, was born on 8 December 1822 in Tartu (or 26 November 1822 in Bern), and studied Medicine in St. Petersburg, Tartu and Bern.
Henzi was buried on 4 February 1829 in Tartu Vana-Jaani cemetery in plot XXXIII, field 1527, grave 5. The gravestone has since gotten removed, presumably by the Soviets, who did not like this "German graveyard", and cleared the whole plot XXXIII.

Gypsy Snider (born 1970) is a Canadian–American director, choreographer, and former acrobat. She co-founded The 7 Fingers, an artist collective, and choreographed Pippin in 2013.
Early life and education
Snider's mother Peggy and stepfather Larry Pisoni co-founded the Pickle Family Circus, which her brother Lorenzo Pisoni also performed in as a clown and actor. She made her Pickle Family Circus debut at the age of four as a circus performer. Snider attended The Urban School of San Francisco with fellow acrobats Ayin and Miriam de Sela and later the Scuola Teatro Dimitri physical-theater school in Switzerland.
Career
In 2002, Snider co-founded The 7 Fingers, an artist collective, with Shana Carroll, who apprenticed with her family's circus. Together with their husbands and three colleagues, The 7 Fingers first performed at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. She also co-directed and choreographed "Traces" with The 7 Fingers which earned an Outstanding Choreography, New York Drama Desk Award nomination. The title was derived from the idea that every person leaves behind a legacy or "traces" in their wake. The show was described by critics as "unpretentious entertainment by performers who get a kick out of showing off their mad skills."
In 2008, Snider divorced her husband Patrick Léonard and was diagnosed with colon cancer. Once her cancer was in remission, she worked with Diane Paulus and Chet Walker to choreograph a revitalized Pippin on Broadway. She also created, directed and choreographed Réversible with The 7 Fingers, which was described as “a riveting mix of theatre, circus, dance, music and acrobatics, dedicated to a generation who forged the world that we live in today.”

Where Angels Fear to Tread is the fifth studio album by the rock band Mink DeVille. It was released in 1983, and was the second album Mink DeVille recorded for Atlantic Records, and Atlantic brought in two in-house producers, Howard Albert and Ron Albert, to produce the album.
Mink DeVille as a rock group had effectively ceased to exist as a band; only lead singer Willy DeVille remained from the original band. For this album, Willy DeVille reached deeper into his Latin roots, even recording a salsa number, "Demasiado Corazon." A single, “Each Word’s a Beat of My Heart,” reached number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Two percussionists from the Latin dance/disco band Foxy, Richie Puente and Joe Galdo, played on the album. A recording of "Stand by Me" was made at this session and released on a 7-inch single along with “Demasiado Corazon” and “Are You Lonely Tonight?”
Reviews
Trouser Press said about the album, “This uncluttered and uncomplicated tribute to DeVille's chosen forebears — Sam Cooke, Phil Spector, the Drifters, Joe Tex, James Brown — also includes forays into Spanish Harlem and other wondrously nostalgic time warps. DeVille's songwriting and singing have returned to top strength, and the record burns with sincerity and warmth. Simply, elegantly excellent.”
Allmusic said about Where Angels Fear to Tread, “DeVille and his band were burning through the pages of rock and R&B history (there are a couple of doo wop- and New Orleans-flavored cuts as well) with raw swagger and astonishing musicianship. Why they didn't catch on and George Thorogood did is a mystery that will be up to '80s historians to figure out.”
Other information
Boris Kinberg, a percussionist in The Mink DeVille Band, considered "Lilly's Daddy's Cadillac" one of the best songs Willy DeVille ever wrote. "It's a brilliant song. It’s a mini-film. In a three-minute song you have an hour and a half movie. It’s about drug deal gone bad."
Background singers Margaret Reynolds and Beverly Champion had sung with KC and the Sunshine Band and in 1985 would, under the name Margaret Reynolds and Girlfriends, record the Dubwise 12-inch single "Three Steps from True Love."
Willy DeVille recorded "The Moonlight Let Me Down" a second time in 1996 for a CD single. The single included a radio version and extended version of the song as well as "Ballad of the Hoodlum Priest" (from DeVille's Loup Garou).
The album’s title comes from the Johnny Mercer song “Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread),” not from the novel by that title written by E. M. Forster or "An Essay on Criticism by Alexander Pope.

Trawsfynydd Lake Halt was a solely passenger railway station near the northeastern tip of Llyn Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd, Wales. Many Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century institutions in Wales were given anglicised names, this station being one. Over the years, and especially since the Second World War, most have been rendered into Welsh or given both Welsh and English names. Trawsfynydd Lake Halt closed before this happened.
Origins
The line through the site of the future halt was opened in 1882 by the Bala and Festiniog Railway The company and line were subsequently taken over by the Great Western Railway (GWR) which went on to open the halt in 1934. Trawsfynydd Lake Halt was one of the 198 opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) between 1927 and 1939, in this case in pursuit of leisure business, in particular angling and walking, though the few locals on this upland rural area also made use of it.
Llyn Trawsfynydd is man made. It opened in 1928 as part of a hydro-electric power scheme. "Reservoir Siding" was opened by the GWR in 1925 to serve firms building the dam and hydro power station; It diverged towards the lake just north of the site of the future halt. This remained open but little used after the scheme opened. When the halt was opened the siding ended behind its waiting shelter. The siding would go on to have a future undreamed of even for those behind the original hydroelectric venture.
Neighbouring railways
Three railways were planned or ran near the halt, but none was connected to it or the line through it.
The best documented was the narrow gauge Merionethshire Railway, but it was never built. Arguably it was never expected to be built, but was devised as a threat to vested interests, notably the Festiniog Railway. Its planned route would have deviated west near the later site of Trawsfynydd Lake Halt and crossed rugged country to join the Cambrian Railways near . The threat therein was to give an alternative way for slates to be taken from Blaenau to the wider British market.
The second line was a gauge contractors' railway used as part of building Maentwrog's (Trawsfynydd's) first dam in the 1920s. The line had six locomotives, including a Hudswell Clarke 0-4-0ST No.34. That dam created the basis for the artificial lake which provided headwater for the Maentwrog hydro-electric scheme which still provided electricity in early 2016. Public awareness of this scheme has tended to be swamped by the Trawsfynydd nuclear power station which has come and gone during the hydro-electric scheme's lifetime.
The third line was a gauge contractors' railway used when the dam was enlarged and the lake expanded between 1954 and 1956 in preparation for building the nuclear power station. Trains were hauled by four Ruston Hornsby diesel locomotives.
Description
The unstaffed halt's single platform's edge was made of sleepers, the platform itself being infilled with ash and cinders. It was a mere long, drivers had instructions to stop so that the guard's compartment was alongside. The amenities provided were a platform shelter and an oil lamp, with access by a footpath.
The September 1959 timetable shows
Northbound
three trains calling at all stations from Bala to Blaenau on Monday to Saturday
an extra evening train calling at all stations from Bala to Blaenau on Saturday
a Monday to Friday train calling at all stations from Bala to Trawsfynydd
The journey time from Bala to the halt was around 55 minutes.
Southbound
three trains calling at all stations from Blaenau to Bala on Monday to Saturday
two extra trains calling at all stations from Blaenau to Bala on Saturday
an extra train calling at all stations from Blaenau to Trawsfynydd on Saturday evening
a Monday to Friday train calling at all stations from Blaenau to Bala, except Llafar, Bryn-celynog and Cwm Prysor Halts
The journey time from Blaenau to the halt was around 25 minutes.
There was no Sunday service.
In 1935 the Ministry of Transport stated that the halt was used by 20 passengers per week.
After the Second World War at the latest most trains were composed of two carriages, with one regular turn comprising just one brake third coach. At least one train along the line regularly ran as a mixed train, with a second between Bala and Arenig. By that time such trains had become rare on Britain's railways. Workmen's trains had been a feature of the line from the outset; they were the Festiniog and Blaenau Railway's biggest source of revenue. Such a service between Trawsfynydd and Blaenau Ffestiniog survived to the line's closure to passengers in 1960. Up to 1930 at the earliest such services used dedicated, lower standard, coaches which used a specific siding at Blaenau where the men boarded from and alighted to the ballast.
The line from Bala north to Trawsfynydd was designated in the restrictive "Blue" weight limit, with the section from Trawsfynydd to Blaenau limited even more tightly to "Yellow". The literature conjectures on overweight classes being used on troop trains, but no solid claim or photograph has been published. Only two steam age photos of the line show anything other than an 0-4-2 or 0-6-0 tank engine, they being of GWR 2251 Class 0-6-0s taken in the 1940s. As the 1950s passed "5700" and "7400" 0-6-PTs stole the show, exemplified by 9610 at Festiniog in the 1950s. 0-4-2T engines "..suffer[ed] from limited tank capacity and power."
Closure
By the 1950s the line was deemed unremunerative. A survey undertaken in 1956 and 1957 found that the average daily numbers of passengers boarding and alighting were:
Blaenau Ffestiniog Central 62 and 65
Manod Halt 7 and 4
Teigl Halt 5 and 5
Festiniog 28 and 26
Maentwrog Road 8 and 6
Trawsfynydd Lake Halt 1 and 1
Trawsfynydd 28 and 24
Llafar Halt 2 and 2
Bryn-celynog Halt 2 and 2
Cwm Prysor Halt 3 and 3
Arenig 5 and 5
Capel Celyn Halt 7 and 8
Tyddyn Bridge Halt 4 and 6
Frongoch 18 and 15
Bala 65 and 58
Military traffic had ended and, apart from a finite contract to bring cement to Blaenau in connection with the construction of Ffestiniog Power Station freight traffic was not heavy, most arriving and leaving Bala did so from and to the south and that to Blaenau could be handled from the Conwy Valley Line northwards.
In 1957 Parliament authorised Liverpool Corporation to flood a section of the line by damming the Afon Tryweryn. Monies were made available to divert the route round the dam, but it was decided that improving the road from Bala to Llan Ffestiniog would be of greater benefit. Road transport alternatives were established for groups such as schoolchildren and workers. The plans afoot for rail serving Trawsfynydd nuclear power station were to be catered for by building the long-discussed cross-town link between the two Blaenau standard gauge stations. The estimated financial savings to be made were £23,300 by withdrawing the passenger service and £7000 in renewal charges.
The halt closed in January 1960 but freight trains continued to pass the site for a further year. In 1964 the line reopened from Blaenau Ffestiniog southwards to Reservoir Siding, where a large ("Goliath") gantry was erected to load and unload traffic for the then new Trawsfynydd nuclear power station. The main goods transported were nuclear fuel rods carried in nuclear flasks. The line from the junction with Reservoir Siding to the halt was left in place for shunting purposes, though the halt itself was not used in any way.
Legacy
Passenger trains briefly returned to the line in 1989 to a temporary platform at . These trains ran for one summer in an attempt to encourage tourism at the power station. Few people used the service to visit the power station, most riders travelled "for the ride", so the following year tourist trains drove to the line's terminus near the remnants of Trawsfynydd Lake Halt then reversed, with no-one getting on or off. This service lasted until the end of the 1990 Summer season.
Rail enthusiasts' special trains traversed the line from time to time. Notable examples were two "last trains". The first ran from Bala to Blaenau Ffestiniog and return on 22 January 1961 and in the post-1964 era the "Trawsfynydd Lament" ran southwards to the limit of line at the power station loading point on 17 October 1998, the line having become redundant following removal of nuclear material from the power station.
By 2015 the only evidence that the halt ever existed was the decaying platform buried deep under foliage, although in Spring 2016 the mothballed line still ran to the site and to the former nuclear flask loading point. In late July 2017 Trawsfynydd & Blaenau Ffestiniog Community Railway Company volunteers uncovered the decaying platform and began clearing the surrounding vegetation.
Preservation
Between 2000 and 2011 there were at least two attempts to put the remaining line to use. In 2011 there were proposals to use the rails as a recreational velorail track. Neither this nor the earlier idea came to anything. The possibility remains that the surviving line could see future preservation or reuse by the nuclear industry.
To considerable local surprise fresh moves to reopen the line from Blaenau as far south as Trawsfynydd began in September 2016, with the formation of
The Trawsfynydd & Blaenau Ffestiniog Community Railway Company. On 21 September at least one regional newspaper reported that "Volunteers are set to start work this weekend on clearing vegetation from the trackbed between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Trawsfynydd." The company was quoted as saying "We have been given a licence by Network Rail to clear and survey the line." By mid-October 2016 the company had achieved six working days of track clearance.

Beta porphyranase is an enzyme responsible for the degradation of porphyran, which composes the cell wall of red algae. So far only five β-porphyranases have been identified: PorA and PorB are found in the marine bacteria Zobellia galactinovirans. A wild-type porphyranase activity has been found in Pseudoalteromonas atlantica. BpGH16B and BpGH86A have been found in the human gut bacterium, Bacteroides plebeius, of Japanese individuals.
Porphyran, the major water soluble polysaccharide of Porphyra has a linear structure composed of 4-linked α-l-galactopyranose-6-sulfate (L6S) residues and 3-linked β-d-galactopyranose (G) residues. Beta porphyranase (EC 3.2.1 178; 3= Hydrolase; 3.2= Glycosylase; 3.2.1 = Glycosidases (enzymes hydrolyzing O- and S- glycosyl compounds)) acts as a glycosidase to catalyze the following chemical reaction:
Hydrolysis of beta-D-galactopyranose-(1->4)-alpha-L-galactopyranose-6-sulfate linkages in porphyran
The backbone of porphyran consists largely (~70%) of (1->3)-linked beta-D-galactopyranose followed by (1->4)-linked alpha-L-galactopyranose-6-sulfate.
Gut microbiome
CAZymes are carbohydrate active enzymes that breakdown dietary polysaccharadies and supply the human body with energy. These are absent in the human genome, but gut microbes are able to perform this process. In Japanese individuals the human gut bacterium, Bacteroides plebius, has β-porphyranase via horizontal gene transfer. Seaweed is an important component of the diet of Japanese people and the enzyme works to break down nori, the seaweed used in sushi and typically eaten for nutrition purposes. This enzyme has not been found in individuals from the West, and likely won't ever be found in their microbiome, regardless of how much seaweed is incorporated into the diet.
Not only has it been found that seaweed comprises less of the diet in Western cultures, the current treatment of food prevents the possibility of microbes being consumed. Traditionally, nori was not roasted so the associated microbes that led to horizontal gene transfer between the marine microbe on the Porphyra spp. and the gut bacterium would more easily enter the system However, now dietary seaweed is generally free of surface microbes.
Structure
The most work investigating crystalline structures have been done on PorA and PorB of Zobellia galactinovirans. The L6S unit at subsite −2 is surrounded by tryptophan and arginine residues in both PorA and PorB, which construct a positively charged hydrophobic pocket that allows for a bulky sulfate group to fit.

Barry Lamb (born 9 May 1963 in South Shields, England) is an English experimental musician.
Biography
Barry Lamb is an English composer, author and musician. He was born in South Shields, but lived in Holland-on-Sea during his secondary school years. He attended Clacton County High School where he first met his long time musical collaborator Peter Ashby. It was during his high school years that he formed Frenzid Melon with Ashby and they began experimenting with music inspired by the immediacy and DIY ethic of punk. Lamb also began making his own experimental music using simple tape manipulation techniques and they began to release their music on cassette. This marked the beginning of what has become known as cassette culture. During this period Ashby & Lamb founded Falling A Records, as one of the early cassette labels and later an independent record label.
Falling A also opened a shop in Clacton-on-Sea and acted as a distribution service for other cassette culture artists, labels and fanzines. Lamb's solo career coexisted with his collaborations with Ashby. Most of his solo albums are avant-garde / electronic / industrial in nature. The album Dusk is perhaps his best-known solo work. During his most prolific period, Lamb had regular correspondence with fellow contemporaries Bryn Jones of Muslimgauze, members of Attrition, and the Third Mind record label.
Sometime during the course of 1981–82 Frenzid Melon disbanded but Ashby and Lamb quickly re emerged having added Owen Turley to the line up and morphing into a new band the insane picnic. Whilst Frenzid Melon had been heavily influenced by punk, the insane picnic had more of a post punk feel to them. Their debut release in the autumn of 1982 was the critically acclaimed "Four Days in April" EP. This received a glowing review by Ian Pye in Melody Maker "A twisted cross between Echo and the Bunnymen & the Fall. The Insane Picnic succeed where most others fail by creating an atmosphere that may not be unique but is at least threateningly distanced from the obvious possibilities.." The insane picnic were unable to capitalise on momentum due to internal struggles and the inability to engage a permanent drummer for regular live performances. A planned album in 1984 did not advance beyond the demo stage. The demo tapes were eventually released on CD in 2004 under the name "this is the winter darkness". The insane picnic continued in a stop start fashion until 1989 with occasional releases and live performances. Their biggest success during this period was the "Magistrates & Saints" 12" EP. The closure of the Falling A shop in 1985 sparked the relocation of the headquarters to Reading.
In 1989 following the demise of the insane picnic, Lamb moved to Braintree, Essex and recorded a progressive rock album with Ashby under the name of Ermin Grud. The resulting album "the narrow path" was released as a private pressing in a deliberately obscure manner with no clues as to the source of the recording or musicians involved. There are fewer than 100 copies in existence. The album is saturated with the sound of the mellotron and Hammond organ in an attempt to pass it off as an authentic early 1970s private pressing.
In the late 1990s his output was minimal, and apart from an appearance on the WMTID album Pale Saint he seemed along with many of his cassette culture contemporaries to have disappeared without a trace. Midway through 2005 though, he re-emerged with an appearance on the Jasun Martz (former member of Frank Zappa's band) album The Pillory / The Battle playing mellotron and wind synth as well as releasing a brand new album entitled It's All About Purpose on the Six Armed Man label. 2006 saw another flurry of activity with several contributions to various Six Armed Man releases and another album of new material entitled Observations of Istanbul.
In 2007 he released an album of new material called ...this is which has received critical acclaim in the underground music network. Lamb's continued partnership with former insane picnic and Frenzid Melon member Peter Ashby continues to bear fruit as they work together. Other collaborations include Lamb playing saxophone on Peter Ashby's Disturbances in the ether album, working with up and coming urban hip hop artist Tor Cesay, collaborating with Keith Levene, being covered by Swiss chanteuse Hilda Garman and recording with Wavis O'Shave.
Following another hiatus in 2016, the Ashby & Lamb partnership reconvened under the name of The Two Headed Emperor. This resulted in another flurry of new releases and activity.
In 2020, he headed up a team that curated and delivered the 40th anniversary release of Morgan Fisher's influential Miniatures series. The subsequent album contained tracks from many well known artists including some from the original 1980 album and its millennial sequel as well as a selection of lesser known musicians. Wire Magazine reviewed it as "musically tight and conceptually svelte, like a sonic haiku. Limiting tracks to one minute leads to an economy and urgency that is completely engaging".

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 12 (previously Meltrin) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAM12 gene. ADAM12 has two splice variants: ADAM12-L, the long form, has a transmembrane region and ADAM12-S, a shorter variant, is soluble and lacks the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.
Function
This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) protein family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins, and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. This gene has two alternatively spliced transcripts: a shorter secreted form and a longer membrane-bound form. The shorter form is found to stimulate myogenesis.
Clinical Significance
ADAM 12, a metalloprotease that binds insulin growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), appears to be an effective early Down syndrome marker. Decreased levels of ADAM 12 may be detected in cases of trisomy 21 as early as 8 to 10 weeks gestation. Maternal serum ADAM 12 and PAPP-A levels at 8 to 9 weeks gestation in combination with maternal age yielded a 91% detection rate for Down syndrome at a 5% false-positive rate. When nuchal translucency data from approximately 12 weeks gestation was added, this increased the detection rate to 97%.
ADAM12 has also been implicated in the development of pathology in various cancers, hypertension, liver fibrogenesis, and asthma. In asthma, ADAM12 is upregulated in lung epithelium in response to TNF-alpha.
Interactions
ADAM12 has been shown to interact with:
ACTN2,
IGFBP3, and
PIK3R1.

Boylston station (also signed as Boylston Street) is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, located on the southeast corner of Boston Common at the intersection of Boylston Street and Tremont Street. A southbound street-level stop for the route of the bus rapid transit Silver Line is outside fare control. The station has two island platforms; each has one disused track, making them effectively side platforms. Boylston is not accessible for Green Line trains.
Boylston station was opened in 1897 as part of the original segment of the Tremont Street subway. Originally used by streetcars, from 1901 to 1908 it also served Main Line Elevated trains. Unlike other Green Line stations, Boylston has been little modified, and retains much of its original appearance. Two of the original four headhouses have been removed, however, and a sub-passage connecting the platforms has been sealed. Construction of a proposed underground Silver Line station was proposed in the 1990s; that phase of the project was cancelled in 2010.
Station layout
Boylston was originally configured for four tracks with two island platforms, and the original track layout has remained essentially unchanged since then. The two outer tracks formerly led to the Pleasant Street portal. A stub of the former outer southbound track is used for work car storage. The northbound track has been fully removed; a disconnected segment of track holds two former streetcars for display. The cars (PCC #3295 and Type 5 #5734) were used for fan trips until 1990 and 1998.
The Green Line takes a sharp right-angle turn just south of Boylston station, as it turns from Tremont Street onto Boylston Street. The tight radius of curvature of the track frequently causes loud squealing noises to emit from the train wheels, which are audible at street level near the station entrance at the corner. In 2017, the Green Line added 6 greasing units to the existing 13 in the system; these devices pump grease onto train wheels and the rail as trains pass them. The MBTA also retrofitted flange stick lubricators on newer trains, which scrape graphite onto the side of the wheel and do not affect braking. However in 2018, journalism students from adjacent Emerson College measured sound intensities over 110 dBA in the station.
History
Boylston and were the first two stations built in the Tremont Street subway. The subway was constructed between 1895 and 1897, and first broke ground on the site of the current Boylston station. When the station opened in 1897, it became the first underground rapid transit station in the United States.
Boylston and Park Street were built with rectangular stone headhouses designed by Edmund M. Wheelwright that did not aesthetically match the Common. Unlike the interior decor, the headhouses were sharply criticized as "resembling mausoleums" and "pretentiously monumental". Later stations on the East Boston Tunnel and Washington Street Tunnel incorporated this criticism into their more modest headhouses.
As opened, the inner tracks at Boylston ran between the Public Garden incline to the west and the inner loop at Park Street, while the outer tracks ran between the Pleasant Street incline to the south and the outer through tracks at Park Street. Most streetcars from the west looped at Park Street, while those from the south continued through to North Station. From 1901 to 1908, Main Line Elevated trains ran on the outer tracks (with temporary high-level wood platforms) while streetcars continued to use the inner tracks.
The Boylston Street incline (replacing the Public Garden incline) and Boylston Street subway opened on October 3, 1914, both using the inner tracks. On October 10, the fence dividing the northbound platform was opened, allowing passengers from the west to transfer to northbound streetcars from the south. On October 9, 1915, the fence was again closed, forcing passengers from the west to transfer at Park Street (after cars from the south had dropped off many passengers) rather than at Boylston Street.
The 1947 state act that created the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) from the Boston Elevated Railway established four immediate projects for the new agency, one of which was expansion of the Tremont Street Subway to four tracks between Park Street and Scollay Square. As part of the plan, Park Street and Boylston stations were to be combined into a single Boston Common station, with a direct entrance from an underground parking garage. The garage ultimately opened in 1961, but the stations were not combined.
The exit-only north headhouse on the southbound platform was removed in 1958, followed by its northbound twin around 1962. On November 19, 1961, the Lenox Street line was substituted with buses. A shuttle service was run between Boylston and Pleasant Street until April 6, 1962, at which time the outer tracks at Boylston were closed. In 1964, the Tremont Street subway, including Boylston station, was designated a National Historic Landmark. Of the two original stations, Boylston retained more of its original appearance, having undergone only minimal changes in over a century of continuous operation. The sub-passage between the platforms was closed around 1968, and permanently sealed off in 1981. In 1974, local students installed nine colorful panels in the station as part of the MBTA's arts program.
The northbound outer track was removed in 1983. A planned renovation in 1986 was deferred by the station's historic status, though the disused outer tracks were fenced off. The MBTA again planned a renovation of the station – including elevators for accessibility – in 1990, but not did construct the project. In mid-2006, the MBTA installed brighter lighting at Boylston station, as well as modern electronic faregates and fare vending machines for the CharlieCard system.
Plans for the South Boston Piers Transitway (later part of the Silver Line) were approved in 1993, calling for a bus rapid transit level at Boylston under the Green Line level. This portion was deferred in 1999, to become Phase III of the project. Silver Line service on the surface, running on Tremont Street, began stopping at Boylston in December 2001. After substantial increases in projected cost, Phase III was cancelled in 2010.
In 2019, the MBTA indicated that Boylston was a "Tier II" accessibility priority pending the results of conceptual design.
Incidents and accidents
A few months before the station opened, there was a gas explosion at the corner of Tremont and Boylston Streets on March 4, 1897. Illuminating gas had been escaping from an underground main for two months into the cavity between the station's roof and the street above, before a horse-drawn trolley caused a spark which ignited the gas. Witnesses reported that a fireball engulfed the trolley, and burned several people and horses instantaneously. Six people were killed, and at least sixty were seriously injured. The station was spared any serious damage, as much of the force of the blast had radiated upward.
On June 6, 1906, there was another explosion at Boylston station. The origin of the explosion was deemed to be the short-circuiting of the overhead lines in the station, which began to burn and catch fire. Because of the electrical nature of the fire, spraying water to stop the flames failed, and fire-fighters who attempted to do so were met with electric shocks. Only three people were injured, and the fire extinguished itself.
On August 4, 1958, a fire in the fuse box of a streetcar at Boylston injured 23 people.

The Dripping Pan is a football stadium in Lewes, England. It has been home to Lewes F.C. since their foundation in 1885. It had previously been used by Lewes Priory Cricket Club, though the ground itself had been used by the people of Lewes as an area for recreation, including athletics, as far back as written records exist.
Early history
The original purpose of the site is unclear, although local legend suggests that it was part of a salt making industry run by monks from the adjacent Cluniac Lewes Priory, the ruins of which can still be seen from the ground. The spoil from the excavation forms the Mount behind the Clubhouse, and both structures appear in the very earliest maps of Lewes in 1745.
Indeed, the ground may merely be the excavation pit for the Mount itself, which has been suggested as the original 'temporary' motte and bailey fortress constructed by William the Conqueror's close ally, William de Warenne, before he developed Lewes Castle on higher ground. An archaeological survey during construction of the new terrace failed to reveal any further insights into either the purpose or the age of the ground itself.
The earliest known use for cricket was 2nd Duke of Richmond's XI v Sir William Gage's XI in August 1730. It is not clear if the game was started as an announcement stated that "it was put off on account of Waymark, the Duke's man, being ill". Thomas Waymark was the outstanding player of the time. Two earlier matches are known to have taken place in Lewes but the specific location in each case was not recorded. The first was towards the end of the 1728 season and was a proposed match between the 2nd Duke of Richmond's XI and Sir William Gage's XI. The second was in September 1729 when a combined Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire team played against Kent.
Lewes F.C. have played at the Dripping Pan every year since 1885, apart from a couple of seasons immediately prior to the First World War when the club played at the adjoining Convent Field.
Recent history
The Dripping Pan has seen major redevelopment over recent years in order for it to achieve the necessary ground grading to allow it to be used as a football venue in the Conference South and the Conference National. Developing the ground has had its obstacles as the perimeter walls of the Dripping Pan are listed structures.
In April 2008, the ground was awarded a 'B' grade, allowing it to be used in the Conference National. The ground has since been updated further to ensure it was awarded the required 'A' grade by April 2009.
Stands
The ground has one covered terrace, one uncovered terrace, a grass bank with walkway and a covered stand; a total capacity of 3,000 with seated accommodation for 600 in the main Rookery Stand.
Rookery Stand, opened in July 2007, is the newest stand at the ground and replaced the aged wooden South stand. It is a covered, all-seater stand.
Ham Lane End is an uncovered terrace on the east side of the pitch. During Lewes' season in the Conference Premier, strict safety regulations meant away fans had to be segregated here. However, it is normally used by both home and away supporters.
Philcox Terrace is a covered terrace which was opened in April 2003. From some areas of this terrace the view of one of the corner flags is obscured by the adjacent clubhouse. The top of the terrace affords fine views of the South Downs.
Grass Bank. There is one original remaining grass bank at the Dripping Pan, running the length of the pitch on the north side of the stadium. Spectators are permitted on the flat walkway along the top of the bank, but the slope itself is fenced off for safety reasons.
There is a small car park adjacent to the ground, which is run by the local council and not owned by the club.

The Beach Lighthouse (also known as the Lower Light) is a tall sandstone lighthouse in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England.
History
The lighthouse was designed in 1839 by Decimus Burton and Capt H.M. Denham. Burton had been commissioned three years previously by Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood as the architect of the new town of Fleetwood. Unusual for a lighthouse, it is in neoclassical style with a square colonnaded base, square tower, and octagonal lantern and gallery.
The Lower Light stands on Fleetwood sea front and was built with its counterpart—the Upper Light, or Pharos Lighthouse—to provide a navigational guide to shipping entering the Wyre estuary. Together the lights provide a leading line when the Pharos Light is directly above that of the Lower Light. Together they provide a range of about . In turn they point to the Wyre Light on the North Wharf Bank, offshore.
Both lighthouses were first illuminated 1 December 1840. Each was run off the town's gas supply, with a single parabolic reflector placed behind the burner; later they were converted to electricity.
The Beach Lighthouse was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 26 April 1950. The lighthouse is managed by the Port of Fleetwood.

Glimmer Train was an American short story literary journal. It was published quarterly, accepting works primarily from emerging writers. Stories published in Glimmer Train were listed in The Best American Short Stories, as well as appearing in the Pushcart Prize, The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories, and anthologies for New Stories from the Midwest, New Stories from the South, and Best American Short Stories. The journal held 12 short story fiction contests a year, paying out over $50,000 on an annual basis.
Background
Glimmer Train was founded in 1990 by Linda Swanson-Davies and her sister, Susan Burmeister-Brown, in Portland, Oregon. While the journal received over 40,000 submissions per year, only about 40 stories are published (a rate of 0.001, or 1/10 of 1%).
Burmeister-Brown advises writers to: "Unplug yourself from the hurly-burly of life on a regular basis so your subconscious has time to make some good compost."

Peter Pilkington, Baron Pilkington of Oxenford (5 September 1933 – 14 February 2011) was a British public school headmaster and a Conservative member of the House of Lords.
Education
Pilkington was educated at Dame Allan's School, Newcastle where he came to faith and developed both his love of scholarship and his combative personality. In 1952 he went up to Jesus College, Cambridge and read history, being influenced by Conservative-minded figures such as Maurice Cowling, Herbert Butterfield and Michael Oakeshott. He graduated in 1955, and took his MA in 1959.
Ecclesiastical career
Pilkington trained for ordination at Westcott House, Cambridge, and was ordained as a deacon in the Diocese of Derby in 1959, and as a priest the following year. He served for three years as curate at the historic parish church of All Saints', Bakewell during the incumbency of George Sinker.
He left parochial work to take up his first school chaplaincy position. In 1975 he was appointed an honorary canon of Canterbury Cathedral.
Educational career
In 1962 Pilkington became a schoolmaster at Eton College, teaching history, and a college chaplain. Later he became Conduct (senior chaplain), and for 10 years also served as Master in College, the housemaster of the scholars' house, until his resignation in 1975.
He was Headmaster of The King's School, Canterbury from 1975 to 1986.
His final appointment in education was the post of High Master of St Paul's School, London, from 1986 to 1992.
Retirement
Following his retirement from education Pilkington was appointed Chairman of the Broadcasting Complaints Commission, serving from 1992 to 1996.
In 1995, he was made a life peer as Baron Pilkington of Oxenford, of West Dowlish in the County of Somerset.
He also assisted in retirement as an honorary curate of St Mary's, Bourne Street, a prominent Anglo-Catholic church in Pimlico, where he served from 1992 to 2005.
Although his entire teaching career was spent in the private sector, Pilkington was a vociferous supporter of selective state education. During his retirement he served for several years as Chairman of the National Grammar Schools Association.
Personal life
In 1966 Pilkington married Helen Wilson, who predeceased him in 1997. He was survived by two daughters, Celia and Sarah Pilkington.

The Ducal Palace () is a Renaissance building in the Italian city of Urbino in the Marche. One of the most important monuments in Italy, it is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
History
The construction of the Ducal Palace was begun for Duke Federico III da Montefeltro around the mid-fifteenth century by the Florentine Maso di Bartolomeo. The new construction included the pre-existing Palace of the Jole. The solid rock hillside salient was impregnable to siege but was problematic for carving out the foundation of a palace. Thus, a prominent fortress-builder, Luciano Laurana, from Dalmatia, was hired to build the substructure; but Laurana departed Urbino before the living quarters of the palace were begun. After Laurana, the designer or designers of the Ducal Palace are unknown with certainty. Leading High Renaissance architect Donato Bramante was a native of Urbino and may have worked on the completion of the palace.
The Ducal Palace is famous as the setting of the conversations which Baldassare Castiglione represents as having taken place in the Hall of Vigils in 1507 in his Book of the Courtier.
The palace continued in use as a government building into the 20th century, housing municipal archives and offices, and public collections of antique inscriptions and sculpture (the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, see below). Restorations completed in 1985 have reopened the extensive subterranean network to visitors.
Studiolo and twin chapels
The Ducal Palace featured several rooms that reflect Federico's devotion to Classical and humanistic studies and served his daily routine, which included visiting the palace's lararium and reading Greek literature. These learned and explicitly pagan touches were atypical of a medieval palazzo.
Studiolo
A central element in this plan is the studiolo (a small study or cabinet for contemplation), a room measuring just 3.60 x 3.35m and facing away from the city of Urbino and towards the Duke's rural lands. Its beautifully executed intarsia work, surrounding the room's occupant with trompe-l'œil shelves, benches, and half-open latticework doors displaying symbolic objects representing the Liberal Arts, is the single most famous example of this Italian craft of inlay. The benches hold musical instruments, and the shelves contain representations of books and musical scores, scientific instruments (including an astrolabe and an armillary sphere), study furnishings (including a writing desk and an hourglass), weapons and armor, and various other objects (e.g. parrots in cages and a mazzocchio).
The studiolo also features iconic representations of several persons, both contemporary and historical. On the intarsia panels are depicted statues of Federico in scholarly attire and of Faith, Hope, and Charity. Above the intarsia panels are portraits of great authors by Joos van Wassenhove (with reworking by Pedro Berruguete):
The upper register (shown in the diagram's outside rows and columns) presents Classical and humanistic writers, as opposed to the religious figures (broadly speaking) of the lower register (inside).
Chapel of Absolution and Temple of the Muses
Downstairs from the studiolo are a twinned pair of chapels, one Christian and one pagan. The vestibule leading to them emphasizes their complementarity with this inscribed elegiac couplet:
The Temple of the Muses, which may have been used as the personal studiolo of Federico's son Guidobaldo, originally featured paintings of the Muses as "sober musicians" that are perhaps the work of Giovanni Santi.
Galleria Nazionale delle Marche
The Galleria Nazionale delle Marche (National Gallery of the Marche), housed in the palace, is one of the most important collections of Renaissance art in the world. It includes important works by artists such as Raphael, Van Wassenhove (a Last Supper with portraits of the Montefeltro family and the court), Melozzo da Forlì, Piero della Francesca (with the famous Flagellation), Paolo Uccello, Timoteo Viti, and other 15th century artists, as well as a late Resurrection by Titian.

Predestination is a doctrine in Calvinism dealing with the question of the control that God exercises over the world. In the words of the Westminster Confession of Faith, God "freely and unchangeably ordained whatsoever comes to pass." The second use of the word "predestination" applies this to the salvation, and refers to the belief that God appointed the eternal destiny of some to salvation by grace, while leaving the remainder to receive eternal damnation for all their sins, even their original sin. The former is called "unconditional election", and the latter "reprobation". In Calvinism, some people are predestined and effectually called in due time (regenerated/born again) to faith by God, all others are reprobated.
Calvinism places more emphasis on election compared to other branches of Christianity.
Origins
Predestination of the elect and non-elect was taught by the Jewish Essene sect, Gnosticism, and Manichaeism. In Christianity, the doctrine that God unilaterally predestines some persons to heaven and some to hell originated with Augustine of Hippo during the Pelagian controversy in 412 AD. Pelagius and his followers taught that people are not born with original sin and can choose to be good or evil. The controversy caused Augustine to radically reinterpret the teachings of the apostle Paul, arguing that faith is a free gift from God rather than something humans can choose. Noting that not all will hear or respond to God's offered covenant, Augustine considered that "the more general care of God for the world becomes particularised in God’s care for the elect". He explicitly defended God's justice in sending newborn and stillborn babies to hell if they died without baptism.
Double predestination
Double predestination is the idea that not only does God choose some to be saved, he also creates some people who will be damned.
Some modern Calvinists respond to the ethical dilemma of double predestination by explaining that God's active predestination is only for the elect. God provides grace to the elect causing salvation, but for the damned God withholds salvific grace. Calvinists teach that God remains just and fair in creating persons he predestines to damnation because although God unilaterally works in the elect producing regeneration, God does not actively force the damned to sin. Double predestination may not be the view of any of the Reformed confessions, which speak of God passing over rather than actively reprobating the damned. However, John Calvin refuted such a position, stating "This they do ignorantly and childishly since there could be no election without its opposite reprobation ... whom God passes by he reprobates, and that for no other cause but because he is pleased to exclude them from the inheritance which he predestines to his children."
Scholars have disagreed over whether Heinrich Bullinger accepted the doctrine of double predestination. Frank A. James says that he rejected it, preferring a view called "single predestination" where God elects some to salvation, but does not in any way predestine to reprobation. Cornelis Venema, on the other hand, argues that "Bullinger did not consistently articulate a doctrine of single predestination," and defended double predestination on a few occasions.
Calvin's writings
John Calvin taught double predestination. He wrote the foundational work on this topic, Institutes of the Christian Religion (1539), while living in Strasbourg after his expulsion from Geneva and consulting regularly with the Reformed theologian Martin Bucer. Calvin's belief in the uncompromised "sovereignty of God" spawned his doctrines of providence and predestination.
For the world, without providence it would be "unlivable". For individuals, without predestination "no one would be saved".
Calvin's doctrine of providence is straightforward. "All events whatsoever are governed by the secret counsel of God." Therefore, "nothing happens but what [God] has knowingly and willingly decreed." This excludes "fortune and chance." Calvin applied his doctrine of providence concerning "all events" to individuals and their salvation in his doctrine of predestination.
Calvin opened his exposition of predestination with an "actual fact". The "actual fact" that Calvin observed was that even among those to whom "the covenant of life" is preached, it does not gain the same acceptance. Although, "all are called to repentance and faith", in fact, "the spirit of repentance and faith is not given to all".
Calvin turned to the teachings of Jesus for a theological interpretation of the diversity that some people accept the "covenant of life" and some do not. Pointing to the Parable of the Sower, Calvin observed, "it is no new thing for the seed to fall among thorns or in stony places". In Jesus’ teaching in John 6:65 that "no one can come to me unless it has been granted him by my Father", Calvin found the key to his theological interpretation of the diversity.
For Calvin's biblically-based theology, this diversity reveals the "unsearchable depth of the divine judgment", a judgment "subordinate to God's purpose of eternal election". God offers salvation to some, but not to all. To many this seems a perplexing subject, because they deem it "incongruous that... some should be predestinated to salvation, and others to destruction". However, Calvin asserted that the incongruity can be resolved by proper views concerning "election and predestination".
Thus, Calvin based his theological description of people as "predestinated to life or to death" on biblical authority and "actual fact". Calvin noted that Scripture requires that we "consider this great mystery" of predestination, but he also warned against unrestrained "human curiosity" regarding it. For believers, knowing that "the cause of our salvation did not proceed from us, but from God alone" evokes gratitude.
Reprobation: active decree, passive foreordination
Calvinists emphasise the active nature of God's decree to choose those foreordained to eternal wrath, yet at the same time the passive nature of that foreordination.
This is possible because most Calvinists hold to an infralapsarian view of God's decree. In that view, God, before Creation, in his mind, first decreed that the Fall would take place, before decreeing election and reprobation. So God actively chooses whom to condemn, but because he knows they will have a sinful nature, the way he foreordains them is to simply let them be – this is sometimes called "preterition." Therefore, this foreordination to wrath is passive in nature (unlike God's active predestination of his elect where he needs to overcome their sinful nature).
Equal ultimacy
The WCF uses different words for the act of God's election and reprobation: "predestinated" and "foreordained" respectively. This suggests that the two do not operate in the same way. The term "equal ultimacy" is sometimes used of the view that the two decrees are symmetrical: God works equally to keep the elect in heaven and the reprobate out of heaven. This view is sometimes erroneously referred to as "double predestination", on which see above. R. C. Sproul argues against this position on the basis that it implies God "actively intervenes to work sin" in the lives of the reprobate. Robert L. Reymond, however, insists on equal ultimacy of election and reprobation in the divine decree, though he suggests that "we must not speak of an exact identity of divine causality behind both."
Calvinists hold that even if their scheme is characterized as a form of determinism, it is one which insists upon the free agency and moral responsibility of the individual. Additionally, they hold that the will is in bondage to sin and therefore unable to actualize its true freedom. Hence, an individual whose will is enslaved to sin cannot choose to serve God. Since Calvinists further hold that salvation is by grace apart from good works (sola gratia) and since they view making a choice to trust God as an action or work, they maintain that the act of choosing cannot be the difference between salvation and damnation, as in the Arminian scheme. Rather, God must first free the individual from his enslavement to sin to a greater degree than in Arminianism, and then the regenerated heart naturally chooses the good. This work by God is sometimes called irresistible, in the sense that grace enables a person to freely cooperate, being set free from the desire to do the opposite, so that cooperation is not the cause of salvation but the other way around.
Barthian views
20th-century Reformed theologian Karl Barth reinterpreted the Reformed doctrine of predestination. For Barth, God elects Christ as rejected and chosen man. Individual people are not the subjects of election, but are elected or rejected by virtue of their being in Christ. Interpreters of Barth such as Shirley Guthrie have called this a "Trinitarian" as opposed to a "speculative" view of predestination. According to Guthrie, God freely loves all people, and his just condemnation of sinners is motivated by love and a desire for reconciliation.

The 2020 Belgian Road Cycling Cup (known as the Bingoal Cycling Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the fifth edition of the Belgian Road Cycling Cup. Baptiste Planckaert was the defending champion. He was not succeeded as the organisers decided not to keep the overall standings due to the large number of cancelled races as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Events
With respect to the previous season the event in Halle–Ingooigem was dropped due to the organisers of this race focusing on the organisation of the 2020 Belgian National Road race championships. As a result the number of events dropped from eight to seven, although the late cancellation of the Grote Prijs Jean-Pierre Monseré due to storms in 2019 resulted in just seven races to be held that year as well. Eventually only two races were held as only the Grote Prijs Jean-Pierre Monseré was completed before the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium, thereafter all other races got cancelled with the exception of Dwars door het Hageland which was rescheduled from 17 June 2020 to 15 August 2020.

This is a list of current or legacy Ambisonic hardware.
Currently available Ambisonic hardware
Microphone Arrays
Presence in this list does not indicate that the manufacturer uses the term Ambisonics for marketing or even endorses the concept at all, merely that the product produces B-format or something closely related.
Josephson Engineering makes an integrated native horizontal B-format microphone array, the C700S
Schoeps offers the Double-MS, an array kit consisting of two cardioids and one figure-of-eight
Soundfield (now owned by RØDE) manufactures a range of tetrahedral microphone arrays and post-production equipment. Their SPS200 microphone is provided with software for the conversion from A-format to B-format. Rode have now supplemented the SPS200 with a similar microphone using their own capsules: the Rode NT-SF1.
Core Sound sells the TetraMic, another tetrahedral array, and the OctoMic second-order array. These are provided with conversion software and calibration files.
MH Acoustics has developed the EigenMike, a 32-capsule spherical microphone array capable of up to fourth-order Ambisonics
Brahma ambisonic microphones - several tetrahedral types, with different capsule sizes - some built into a Zoom H2N recorder, and some standalone microphones outputting to four balanced microphone channels. These are supported by standard filtermatrix files and software support including BrahmaVolver (freestanding A to B Converter) and several plug in style converters. They are also developing an eight-capsule second-order microphone.
ZYLIA ZM-1 multi-track microphone - is a special type of microphone array that was designed for high quality multi-track recording. It consists of 19 omni-directional microphone capsules distributed on a sphere (up to third order Ambisonics microphone). ZM-1 microphone together with provided software delivers sound source separation possibilities, as well as optionally generating Ambisonic outputs up to third order.
Sennheiser offers the FOA Ambeo tetrahedral microphone. It delivers a raw 4 channel A format with available B format conversion in their free to download VST, AU, and AAX plugin.
Twirling Technologies make a tetrahedral microphone which is available in two forms - as an accessory for a phone or tablet running Android (the Twirling 720 Lite), or combined with a stand-alone recorder (the Twirling 720 VR Audio Recorder). They provide a range of software for handling the Ambisonic signals, and are aimed at VR applications.
Ricoh sell a tetrahedral Ambisonic microphone, the TA-1, made for them by Audio-Technica, for use with their Theta video recorder.
Oktava make the MK-4012 4-D tetrahedral microphone.
DPA Microphones made the DPA-4 tetrahedral microphone for a short time.
Zoom Corporation's integrated recorder, the H2n, has a firmware update that enables it to generate horizontal B-format files directly. They have now also released a recorder, the H3-VR, with a tetrahedral microphone arrangement for full first-order Ambisonics.
Audeze make a tetrahedral microphone using their planar capsules.
Nevaton have announced the Nevaton VR, a tetrahedral first-order Ambisonic microphone with very low self-noise.
When encoding the A-format (capsule) output from a tetrahedral microphone into B-format, the best results are obtained if the microphone has been calibrated to take account of variations in the capsules. The original microphones made by Soundfield and their current ST450 II have this calibration performed by adjustments to the hardware. The Core Sound TetraMic and the Brahma microphones are provided with individual calibration files for use with their processing software. All the other tetrahedral microphones rely on the matching of the capsules used, which is not necessarily good enough for best results. Core Sound offer a calibration service for the Soundfield SPS-200, Sennheiser Ambeo, and others, which provides a calibration file for use in their software in order to get the best Ambisonic performance from originally uncalibrated microphones.
Domestic surround processors/amplifiers
Meridian continues to offer Ambisonic B-format and UHJ support in its current line of surround controllers: G65, G61R, and 861v8
Any sufficiently competent PC class system has, or can be given, robust support for Ambisonic processing. The exact methods depends on the system. Linux, for example, supports all Ambisonic formats, including B and UHJ. Binaural and Super Stereo can also be used. One can also map discrete formats, such as L+R or 5.1, into ambisonics, allowing one to somewhat "disconnect" the speaker configuration from the audio's discrete speaker location requirements.
Legacy hardware
A popular and unfortunate misconception is that Ambisonic recordings can only be made with the SFM, and as a result there is a widespread, and erroneous, belief that Ambisonics can only be used to capture a live acoustic event (something that accounts for a tiny proportion of modern commercial recordings, the vast majority of which are built up in the studio and mixed from multitrack). This is not the case. In fact, Michael Gerzon's designs for Ambisonic panpots pre-date much of his work on soundfield microphone technology. Ambisonic panpots – which allow mono (for example) signals to be localised in B-Format space – were developed as early as the 1970s, and were incorporated into a special mixing console designed by Chris Daubney at the IBA (UK Independent Broadcasting Authority) and built by Alice Stancoil Ltd in the early 1980s for the IBA surround-sound test broadcasts.
Ambisonic panpots, with differing degrees of sophistication, provide the fundamental additional studio tool required to create an Ambisonic mix, by making it possible to localise individual, conventionally recorded multi-track or multi-mic sources around a 360° stage analogous to the way conventional stereo panpots localise sounds across a front stage. However, unlike stereo panpots, which traditionally vary only the level between two channels, Ambisonic panning provides additional cues which eliminate conventional localisation accuracy problems. This is especially pertinent to surround, where our ability to localise level-only panned sources is severely limited to the sides and rear.
By the early 1980s, studio hardware existed for the creation of multitrack-sourced, Ambisonically mixed content, including the ability to incorporate SFM-derived sources (for example for room ambience) into a multichannel mix. This was thanks primarily to the efforts of Dr Geoffrey Barton (now of Trifield Productions) and the pro-audio manufacturers Audio & Design Recording, UK (now Audio & Design Reading Ltd). Barton designed a suite of outboard rack-mounted studio units that became known as the Ambisonic Mastering System. These units were patched into a conventional mixing console and allowed conventional multitrack recordings to be mixed Ambisonically. The system consisted of four units:
Pan-Rotate Unit – This enabled eight mono signals to be panned in B-format, including 360° "angle" control and a "radius vector" control allowing the source to be brought in towards the centre, plus a control to rotate an external or internal B-format signal.
B-Format Converter – This connected to four groups and an aux send and allowed existing console panpots to pan across a B-Format quadrant.
UHJ Transcoder – This both encoded B-Format into 2-channel UHJ (see UHJ Format) and in addition allowed a stereo front stage and a stereo rear stage (both with adjustable widths) to be transcoded direct to 2-channel UHJ.
Ambisonic Decoder – this accepted both horizontal (WXY) B-format and 2-channel UHJ and decoded it to four speaker feeds with configurable array geometry.
It is understood that versions of these units were subsequently made available in the late 1990s by Cepiar Ltd along with some other Ambisonics hardware. It is not known if they are still currently available.
A significant number of releases were made with this equipment, all in 2-channel UHJ, including several albums on the KPM production music library label, and commercial releases such as Steve Hackett's Till We Have Faces, The Alan Parsons Project's Stereotomy, Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, Frank Perry's Zodiac, a series of albums on the Collins Classics label, and others, most of which are available on CD. See The Ambisonic Discography in the List of Ambisonic Productions for more information. Engineer John Timperley employed a transcoder on virtually all his mixes over the course of over a dozen years until his death in 2006. Unfortunately the albums, film soundtracks and other projects he created in UHJ over this period are largely undocumented at present, and thus remain unlisted in the Discography.
The lack of availability of 4-track mastering equipment led to a tendency (now regretted by some of the people involved) to mix directly to 2-channel UHJ rather than recording B-format and then converting it to UHJ for release. The fact that you could mix direct to 2-channel UHJ with nothing more than the transcoder made this even more tempting. As a result, there is a lack of legacy Ambisonically mixed B-format recordings that could be released today in more advanced formats (such as G-Format). However, the remastering – and in some cases release – of original 2-channel UHJ recordings in G-Format has proved to be surprisingly effective, yielding results at least as good as the original studio playbacks, thanks primarily to the significantly higher quality of current decoding systems (such as file-based software decoders ) compared to those available when the recordings were made.
Spreaders
Other tools included "spreaders" which were designed to "de-localise" a signal (typically by varying the virtual source angle with frequency within a determined range) – for example, in the case of reverb returns – however these were not developed further.
Domestic Ambisonic decoders/amplifiers
NRDC-Ambisonic Decoder, a kit manufactured by Integrex Ltd, Staffordshire, which supported variable-aspect rectangular setups and hexagons, and accepted several then-common surround formats in addition to B-format and UHJ. The design was published in Wireless World July/August 1977.
Minim AD-7 and AD-10
IMF Electronics D20B
Troy TA 110P, for use in the car.
Cantares SSP-1 Surround Sound Processor, UHJ, binaural, SQ, horizontal and full-sphere B-format decoding including dominance and zoom.
Cepiar Limited made an Ambisonic decoder for up to eight speakers in a horizontal or three-dimensional array, called the Ambi-8x. It was aimed at professional users.
Onkyo made the TX-SV909PRO receiver which included decoding of UHJ recordings. The successor product, the Onkyo 919THX, did not continue the feature.
Super stereo
A feature of domestic Ambisonic decoders has been the inclusion of a super stereo feature. This allows conventional stereo signals to be "wrapped around" the listener, using some of the capabilities of the decoder. A control is provided that allows the width to be varied between mono-like and full surround. This provides a useful capability for a listener to get more from their existing stereo collection.
A different kind of "super stereo" is experienced by listeners to a 2-channel UHJ signal who are not using a decoder. Because of the inter-channel phase relationships inherent in the encoding scheme, the listener experiences stereo that is often significantly wider than the loudspeakers. It is also often more stable and offers superior imaging.
Both features were used as selling points in the early days of Ambisonics, and especially Ambisonic mixing. It helped to overcome a "chicken and egg" situation where record companies were reluctant to release Ambisonic recordings because there were few decoders in the marketplace, while hi-fi manufacturers were unwilling to license and incorporate Ambisonic decoders in their equipment because there was not very much mainstream released content. On the one hand, it was worth having a decoder because you could get more out of your existing record collection; while on the other it was worth making Ambisonic recordings because even people without a decoder could gain appreciable benefits.

"Loved 'Em Every One" is a song written by Phil Sampson, and recorded by American country music artist T. G. Sheppard. It was released in March 1981 as the first single from the album I Love 'Em All. The song was Sheppard's seventh number one on the country chart. The single stayed at number one for one week and spent ten weeks on the country chart. "I Loved' Em Every One" was also Sheppard's only Top 40 single on Billboard's Hot 100, reaching #37.
Content
The song is a man's tribute to all the women he had encountered through the years. The women apparently come from a variety of backgrounds and sizes ("big or little, or short or tall"), and have had as few as one meeting with him. The man then says he wishes he could have "kept them all."

The National League (NL) is a professional ice hockey league in Switzerland and is the top tier of the Swiss league system. Prior to the 2017–18 season, the league was known as National League A. During the 2018–19 season, the league had an average of 6,949 spectators per game which is the highest among European leagues (ahead of the KHL with 6,397 and the DEL with 6,215). The capital city's club SC Bern has been ranked first of all European clubs for 18 seasons and had an average attendance of 16,290 after the regular season. The ZSC Lions are another club in the top ten of European ice hockey attendance, ranking seventh with 9,694 spectators.
Teams from the NL participate in the IIHF's annual Champions Hockey League (CHL), competing for the European Trophy. Participation is based on the strength of the various leagues in Europe (excluding the European/Asian Kontinental Hockey League). Going into the 2022–23 CHL season, the NL was ranked the No. 2 league in Europe, allowing them to send their top five teams to compete in the CHL.
Season structure
During the regular season, each of the 14 teams play 52 games. The top eight teams after the regular season qualify for the playoffs to determine the Swiss champion in best-of-seven series. The bottom four teams in the standings play a relegation tournament, called playouts, in which each team retains their regular season points and play an additional six matches. Following those matches, the two bottom ranked teams will play each other in a best-of-seven series, with the loser then playing the winner of the Swiss League playoffs in a best-of-seven series for a spot in the successive NL season.
Current teams
Import players
The current gentlemen's agreement allows teams to dress a maximum of six non-Swiss players for each game. There is no official rule as it would be against Swiss laws to limit foreign workers in a given enterprise. This agreement is not directly related to Swiss citizenship as players with different nationalities but with Swiss player-licenses are considered Swiss players, thus they do not count as import players. Current examples of this scenario are Deniss Smirnovs and Eliot Berthon with Genève-Servette HC and Floran Douay and Ronalds Ķēniņš with Lausanne HC. They all play with Swiss player-licenses as they have spent a good majority of their childhoods playing hockey with junior teams in Switzerland yet they do not possess Swiss citizenships. Such players would not be able to play in the NL if it was not for their Swiss player-licenses as they would not be considered good enough to use an import player spot on any team. Those spots are usually reserved for players who have had good NHL careers or players with great stats and performances in the AHL, SHL, KHL or Liiga.
The subject of import players has been and still is a huge subject of debates among team owners and GMs. Some of them wish to allow more import players per game in order to reduce the salaries of star Swiss players and the others want to keep that limit lower to allow more Swiss players to play on special units and have top roles on their teams.
Media coverage
NL games are only available in Switzerland and MySports is the league's official broadcaster, airing all regular season and playoffs games. MySports pays CHF 35 million per year to broadcast NL games and selected SL games. Games are available with German, French and Italian commentaries.
Starting with the 2022/23 season, one game will be broadcast live and for free every week on local TVs on Sunday night with a puck drop set to 8pm.
The SRG SSR airs regular season games highlights after each round and two selected games per playoff night in all three languages. Additionally, talk-shows are broadcast live on all 3 channels after each game night, featuring former Swiss players like Gil Montandon, Marco Bührer or Mark Streit.

Gwyneth Williams (born 14 July 1953) is a former controller of BBC Radio 4. She grew up in South Africa and attended St Hugh's College, Oxford.
Earlier career
Williams joined the BBC World Service in 1976 as a trainee, having briefly worked as researcher at the Overseas Development Institute. In the 1980s she became producer and duty editor of BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight, and then Deputy Editor, Special Current Affairs Programmes, responsible for broadcasting general elections and other major events.
In 1994 as Editor, Policy and Social Programmes she launched current affairs programmes on BBC Radio Five Live and then became Head of Radio Current Affairs and editor of the BBC Reith Lectures – responsible for the department that produced such programmes as File On 4, Analysis, From Our Own Correspondent, Crossing Continents, 5 Live Report, Money Box and In Business.
In 2007 she returned to the World Service as Director of English Networks and News, responsible for all of the service's English-language programming, until she was made redundant in 2010.
BBC Radio 4
Williams took over from former Radio 4 controller Mark Damazer in September 2010. Her job includes responsibility for BBC Radio 4 Extra, which under her tenure has been rebranded from BBC Radio 7. Her salary was reported to be £175,000 - a 20% reduction on that of her predecessor. The BBC website states her salary to be £183,618.
On 18 November 2011, she was interviewed by Roger Bolton on the Radio 4 programme Feedback about the changes she had made to Radio 4. It was pointed out on the programme that she had caused the biggest changes to Radio 4 for ten years. The changes for which she was responsible included extending the length of The World at One to 45 minutes, and reducing the number of history programmes but increasing Radio 4's coverage of science.
In January 2019 it was announced that Williams was due to leave the corporation after 43 years.
She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to radio and broadcasting.

Spectrum Safari is a ZX Spectrum video game developed and self-released by A.J. Rushton in 1983. The game was soon signed by CDS Micro Systems who reissued it in early 1984 with a new cover and loading screen.
Its cassette inlay simply read: "Can you lead your party of three away from the dangers of the Island of Death, or will you be beaten by the horrific creatures that inhabit the island, who thirst for your blood with every step you take? Only the fittest will survive."
Summary
"The idea is to take your party of stranded explorers across an island infested with highly intelligent wildlife with university degrees, and beset with natives who want to barter away their food and men to replace that eaten by the men or the intelligent wildlife. Once you have visited a village it disappears forever, but it teaches you caution in your bargaining, if you’re getting short of explorers (lives) in your party. Losing them all means death to the player. The main object is to find the only boat, buy it and sail away from this Magnus Magnusson madhouse. Every animal encountered has some problem for you; sometimes it’s an arcade style situation, sometimes they want to know the answer to a difficult mathematical problem. If you fail a member of your party gets eaten."
Reception
Your Spectrum opined: "This is a collection of bad 'magazine type' programs thrown together, with less than spectacular graphics and an average choice of colours. And because it's written in BASIC, it's not particularly fast."
Conversely, Crash wrote: "Nice clear graphics and a veritable MGM musical score makes this a very enjoyable game. Recommended."

Brachymystax tumensis, the blunt-snouted lenok, is a salmonid fish distributed in rivers and lakes in Eastern Asia. It was formerly included in the more widespread species Brachymystax lenok (now known as the sharp-snouted lenok), but more recent research based on differences in morphology and genetics have justified a distinction of the two species.
Brachymystax tumensis is found widely in southeastern Russia and more locally in northeastern and central parts of the country (including Sakhalin), as well as northeastern Mongolia (Amur Basin), northern China and Korea (e.g. Tumen River). In some regions, such as the Amur Basin, the range may overlap with that of B. lenok. Earlier authorities have included the South Korean population in B. tsinlingensis instead of B. tumensis and this appears to be supported by mtDNA (although its exact taxonomic position remains to be determined).

Wilhelm Hanle (13 January 1901 – 29 April 1993, Gießen) was a German experimental physicist. He is known for the Hanle effect. During World War II, he made contributions to the German nuclear energy project, also known as the Uranium Club. From 1941 until emeritus status in 1969, he was an ordinarius professor of experimental physics and held the chair of physics at the University of Giessen.
Education
Hanle was born in Mannheim. From 1919 to 1924, he studied at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Philipp Lenard, Director of the Physikalische Institut (Physics Institute) at Heidelberg, had a dictatorial attitude towards his students and colleagues, and Hanle had a conflict with Lenard. Hanle transferred to Göttingen. In 1923, Hanle conducted an experiment which demonstrated the variation of polarization of the resonance fluorescent light from a mercury vapor in a weak magnetic field; this became known as the "Hanle effect". He received his doctorate at Göttingen in 1924, under James Franck, who as Director of the II. Physikalisches Institut (Second Physical Institute).
Career
Hanle was a teaching assistant at the University of Göttingen in 1924 and at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen in 1925. He was at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg from 1926 to 1929, and, upon completion of his Habilitation, he became a Privatdozent (unpaid lecturer) there in 1927. From 1929, he was an ausserordentlicher Professor (extraordinarius professor) and head of the physics department at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena.
At Jena, Georg Joos was professor of theoretical physics, but in 1935, he made a compulsory transfer to head the Second Physical Institute at Göttingen to replace James Franck, who had resigned as a result of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service in 1933. Hanle and Joos would soon be part of the impetus to initiate the German nuclear energy project, shortly after Hanle went to Göttingen. From 1937 to 1941, Hanle was again at the University of Göttingen.
In December 1938, the German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann sent a manuscript to Naturwissenschaften reporting they had detected the element barium after bombarding uranium with neutrons; simultaneously, they communicated these results to Lise Meitner, who had in July of that year fled to The Netherlands and then went to Sweden. Meitner, and her nephew Otto Robert Frisch, correctly interpreted these results as being nuclear fission. Frisch confirmed this experimentally on 13 January 1939.
Paul Harteck was director of the physical chemistry department at the University of Hamburg and an advisor to the Heereswaffenamt (HWA, Army Ordnance Office). On 24 April 1939, along with his teaching assistant Wilhelm Groth, Harteck made contact with the Reichskriegsministerium (RKM, Reich Ministry of War) to alert them to the potential of military applications of nuclear chain reactions. Two days earlier, on 22 April 1939, after hearing a colloquium paper by Hanle on the use of uranium fission in a Uranmaschine (uranium machine, i.e., nuclear reactor), Georg Joos, along with Hanle, notified Wilhelm Dames, at the Reichserziehungsministerium (REM, Reich Ministry of Education), of potential military applications of nuclear energy. The communication was given to Abraham Esau, head of the physics section of the Reichsforschungsrat (RFR, Reich Research Council) at the REM. On 29 April, a group, organized by Esau, met at the REM to discuss the potential of a sustained nuclear chain reaction. The group included the physicists Walther Bothe, Robert Döpel, Hans Geiger, Wolfgang Gentner (probably sent by Walther Bothe), Wilhelm Hanle, Gerhard Hoffmann, and Georg Joos; Peter Debye was invited, but he did not attend. After this, informal work began at Göttingen by Joos, Hanle, and their colleague Reinhold Mannfopff; the group of physicists was known informally as the first Uranverein (Uranium Club) and formally as Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Kernphysik. The group's work was discontinued in August 1939, when the three were called to military training.
The second Uranverein began after the HWA squeezed out the RFR of the REM and started the formal German nuclear energy project under military auspices. The second Uranverein was formed on 1 September 1939, the day World War II began, and it had its first meeting on 16 September 1939. The meeting was organized by Kurt Diebner, advisor to the HWA, and held in Berlin. The invitees included Walther Bothe, Siegfried Flügge, Hans Geiger, Otto Hahn, Paul Harteck, Gerhard Hoffmann, Josef Mattauch, and Georg Stetter. A second meeting was held soon thereafter and included Klaus Clusius, Robert Döpel, Werner Heisenberg, and Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker. Also at this time, the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut für Physik (KWIP, Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics, after World War II the Max Planck Institute for Physics), in Berlin-Dahlem, was placed under HWA authority, with Diebner as the administrative director, and the military control of the nuclear research commenced.
Hanle contributed to the Uranverein under the auspices of the HWA with experimental studies which showed that boron and cadmium were strong absorbers of thermal neutrons.
From 1941 to 1969, Hanle was an ordentlicher Professor (ordinarius professor) of experimental physics and held the chair of physics at the Justus Liebig-Universität Gießen. Hanle made significant contributions to the rebuilding of the university after World War II.
Honors
Hanle received a number of honors, including:
1970 – Honorary Doctor of Engineering from the University of Stuttgart
1987 – Honorary Senator of the University of Giessen for his work in reconstruction of the university after World War II
Internal Report
The following was published in Kernphysikalische Forschungsberichte (Research Reports in Nuclear Physics), an internal publication of the German Uranverein. Reports in this publication were classified Top Secret, they had very limited distribution, and the authors were not allowed to keep copies. The reports were confiscated under the Allied Operation Alsos and sent to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for evaluation. In 1971, the reports were declassified and returned to Germany. The reports are available at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center and the American Institute of Physics.

LaMoure County is a county in the U.S. state of North Dakota. As of the 2020 census, the population was 4,093. Its county seat is LaMoure.
History
The Dakota Territory legislature created the county on January 4, 1873, with Grand Rapids as the county seat. However, the county organization was not completed at that time, nor was the county attached to another county for administrative and judicial purposes. It was named for Judson LaMoure, a member of the territorial/state legislature from 1872 to 1918.
The county organization was effected on October 27, 1881. Its boundaries were altered in February 1881 and in March 1883. It has retained its present boundary since that time. The present county seat, LaMoure, was founded in 1882, and the county seat was transferred to that community soon after.
Geography
The James River flows southeasterly through the central portion of LaMoure County, and a tributary of the South Branch Maple River flows southerly from the center of the county. The county terrain consists of rolling hills, mostly devoted to agriculture. The terrain slopes to the south and east; its highest point is on its upper west boundary line at 2,047' (624m) ASL. The county has a total area of , of which is land and (0.4%) is water.
LaMoure County hosts a Navy transmitter, the Naval Radio Transmitter Facility LaMoure.

Martyn Campbell is a Scottish footballer who plays for Kilwinning Rangers in Scottish League One as a defender.
Early career
Martyn began his youth career with Kingsmead Boys Club, before then moving on to Valspar Boys Club. Campbell then made the move to Tarff Rovers in the South of Scotland League before signing for Junior side Kello Rovers. It was at Kello that Campbell first caught the eye of Irvine Meadow manager Robert Reilly, who then signed Campbell and then brought him to Ayr United with him in 2005 after Reilly was appointed Robert Connor's new assistant manager at the club.
Ayr United
In 2005, Campbell followed his former manager, Robert Reilly, to Somerset Park and in his first season he made 23 appearances in all competitions. In his second season, Campbell was a first team regular making another 21 appearances. In Campbell's third season he only featured in 12 games, due to injury, which unfortunately was not the last time he had missed large parts of a campaign due to injury. The 2008-09 season was far more successful for Campbell, with him racking up 37 appearances and scoring his first competitive goal for the club in a 3-0 away win over Arbroath. In January 2009, Campbell was struck by Kilmarnock's David Fernandez in an Ayrshire derby that was being shown on Sky Sports. Campbell was instrumental to the club's success and played in all of the club's play-off games as the Honest Men secured promotion back to the First Division. The following season, Ayr finished bottom and Campbell played in 28 matches, and Campbell was initially released at the end of the season, before being offered a trial during pre-season by then manager, Brian Reid, who then offered him a new deal, which he signed. Campbell was once again instrumental to the club's success throughout the 2010-11 campaign, playing 36 times and scoring another goal, this time in the Challenge Cup against Cowdenbeath, as well as featuring in Ayr's famous victory over Hibernian in the Scottish Cup and in all of the club's play-off games, which saw Ayr promoted back to the First Division. The 2011-12 season was more difficult for Campbell as he only featured 13 times, missing most of Ayr's impressive cup runs. Despite a disappointing season before, new manager Mark Roberts kept Campbell at the club on a pay-as-you-play basis and Campbell only went on to play in four matches. The next season saw Campbell's name return to the team sheets more regularly, featuring a total of 21 times. The 2014-15 season was a disastrous campaign for Ayr, however towards the end of the year, Ayr United intended on honouring Campbell with a testimonial.
Personal life
Campbell was born in the Ayrshire village of Auchinleck, and is the younger brother of former Ayr United, Falkirk, Raith Rovers and Queen of the South defender Mark Campbell. Campbell is also a production manager with Taylor Wimpey and is currently married with two children. Campbell grew up supporting his local junior side, Auchinleck Talbot.
Now he has his own business called Core Timber Systems which he is the co-founder of.

Michael Fenwick Briggs (7 July 1926 – 22 July 2017) was a British businessman who led preservation work in Bath, Somerset.
The son of Dennis B. Briggs, of Oxford, and Grace Mary Davey Luke, Briggs was educated at Gresham's School, Holt, and Merton College, Oxford, as a Royal Air Force cadet.
In 1953, Briggs married the author and publisher Isabel Colegate, and they had two sons and a daughter.
A company director in the oil business, in 1961 Briggs bought and began to restore Midford Castle, a Strawberry Hill Gothic country house near Bath. He went on to serve for twenty years as Chairman of the Bath Preservation Trust.
Briggs owned Midford Castle for more than 45 years, making repairs, treating a former chapel as a picturesque ruin in the grounds, buying back land and buildings which had previously been sold off, and thus bringing the size of the surrounding parkland and woodland up to 59 acres. The property was advertised for sale in 2007.
In 1984, Briggs’s daughter Emily Susanna married Jonathan G. Ashley.
Briggs died on 22 July 2017, aged 91.

Richard George Causton (17 February 1920 – 13 January 1995) was a British author, businessman, and the first chairman of the Soka Gakkai International in the UK (SGI-UK).
Early life
Causton was born in London on 17 February 1920. Educated at Dulwich College, Causton attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. During World War II, at the age of 24, he was stationed on the borders of India and Burma. He served as a Brigade-Major of the Allied Forces. In Northeast India, he experienced the attacks of the Japanese army. In 1958, he retired from the army.
Career
At 38, Causton began a career in business. After working as Vice General Manager of the department store Harrods in London, he became a sales representative of Dunhill in the Far East. While in Japan, he met his future wife, Mitsuko, who introduced him to Nichiren Buddhism, and the Soka Gakkai in Japan. These experiences led him to become a practicing Buddhist in 1971.
In March 1974, Causton moved with Mitsuko to London. In 1975, the SGI-UK was officially founded and Causton became its first chairman. He directed numerous cultural activities of SGI-UK, and co-founded the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Commonwealth Human Ecology Council together with other humanitarian organizations.
In 1995, Causton authored a book about the Soka Gakkai International and Nichiren Buddhism titled The Buddha in Daily Life.

The 2010 congressional elections in Hawaii was held on November 2, 2010, to determine who was to represent the state of Hawaii in the United States House of Representatives for the 112th Congress from January 2011, until their terms of office expire in January 2013.
Hawaii has two seats in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States census. Representatives are elected for two-year terms. The election coincided with the 2010 gubernatorial election.
Overview
By district
Results of the 2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Hawaii by district:
District 1
Campaign
Republican Congressman Charles Djou was first elected in a special election in May 2010, which Republicans heralded as a "significant win" and to which DNC Chairman Tim Kaine responded, "Democrats got 60% of the vote in that race. In the November election, it will be one Democrat against one Republican, and we feel very, very confident about winning that race." In the general election, Hawaii State Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, also a candidate in the special election, emerged as the Democratic nominee. Though former Congressman Ed Case, the other Democratic candidate in the special election, was speculated to run again in November, he ultimately decided against it. In the general election, both parties heavily invested in taking the seat, and polls indicated that the race was close up until election day. On election day, however, Hanabusa edged out Djou by a surprising large six point margin of victory and was sent to Congress for her first term.

District 2
Campaign
This liberal district that encompasses all of Hawaii but Honolulu, has been represented by Democratic Congresswoman Mazie Hirono since she was first elected in 2006. This year, Congresswoman Hirono faced Republican challenger and Tea Party activist John Willoughby in the general election. Though Willoughby attacked Hirono for refusing to debate, polls indicated that the Congresswoman was a shoo-in for re-election.

Simone Brocard (1752 – d. after 1784), was a French slave trader of the French colony of Saint-Domingue. She has been referred to as the most well-documented free colored/ Mixed race woman in Cap-Francais of her generation.
Brocard was a member of the free colored class in Saint-Domingue. She had two daughters with a white man, and appears to have belonged to the group of wealthy colored business women of the colony who had been a lover by placage to a white man, who left her with capital to start her own business after the termination of their relationship. In 1772, Brocard is noted to be an independent and rich businesswoman of note in the colony, and her business transactions are preserved to a large degree and the object of research. She was foremost a slave trader, whose main line of business was to buy and sell slaves from and to clients of the free colored class, mainly women.
Brocard seemed to be involved not only in slave trade coming of incoming ships, but also of these born in the colony. The registries suggest that Brocard even sold slaves to free blacks living in Cap Français. There is little information on her family, although it seems that she had two daughters, her first daughter was born when Simone was fifteen or sixteen, and even when there is no mention of a possible father, both are described as "quadroons," daughters of a mulato woman and a white man.

"Oh!" is a song by South Korean girl group Girls' Generation. The song is a lead single from the second studio album of the same name. The single was digitally released on January 25, 2010 and came to be a huge hit song in South Korea. The group used a cheerleader concept for the song's promotional activities. The song hit #1 on various charts, and won several times on the Korean music chart shows Music Bank and The Music Trend. The song ranked #4 on Gaon Chart Top 10 Digital Songs of the Year and it was also the second best selling single in that year, selling over 3.3 million copies. Music site Monkey3 named "Oh!" the best song in 2010.
"Oh!" was remade as a Japanese song for the group's second single titled, "Oh!", from their second Japanese album Girls & Peace.. It was their fifth Japanese single. The music video for "Oh!" was released on September 14, 2012. Promotion for the single began on Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ. The single ranked highly among Japanese music charts, clinching the top spot on the Oricon Daily and Weekly single chart as well as the top spot on the Japanese Hot 100. The single was released with the song, "All My Love Is for You", on September 26, 2012, with an accompanying music video premiering on September 14, 2012.
Background and release
Korean version
Kenzie, a songwriter who previously composed the group's debut single "Into the New World", also composed "Oh!".
"Oh!" was released to digital music sites on January 25, 2010. The song quickly topped various digital music charts within 10 minutes of release. Moreover, the song reached #1 on Gaon Music Chart.
Japanese version
On August 10, 2012, it was announced the group was to release their next Japanese single after the success of their previous single "Paparazzi", in the following month on September 26, 2012. The single was announced with no confirmation of title tracks, however fans were allowed to pre-order the regular, and limited editions of the single. After several weeks of speculation, the single's title track, a Japanese remake of the group's popular 2010 Korean hit, "Oh!" was finally announced on September 10. The accompanying music video to "Oh!" was released on September 14, 2012, along with an exclusive ringtone which was released at 5AM JST.
Music video
Korean version
The group worked with long-time collaborator Rino Nakasone Razalan, whom they had previously worked on for the group's previous single, "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" on the choreography for "Oh!", and director Cheo Soo-hyun. A teaser video was released to various websites on January 23, 2010, causing at least one of them – Naver – to be overwhelmed by high visitor traffic. The full video was released on January 26, 2010. Eventually, the dance version of "Oh!" was released on S.M. Entertainment's YouTube channel. As of December 2016, the song's official music video has attracted over 100 million views on YouTube, becoming the group's fifth music video to do so following "Gee", "I Got A Boy", "The Boys", and "Mr. Taxi".
The girls wear specific numbers in the music video; each number was personally chosen by the members. In the story version, it is shown that they were cheerleaders for an American football team. In the middle of the video, Sooyoung mishandles an American football helmet (turns out to be a University of Iowa Hawkeyes football helmet from the Big Ten Conference) causing the computer monitor to be damaged (it was the main highlight of their "Run Devil Run" story video because when the helmet hits the monitor, it causes the Black SoShi to emerge from the monitor). At the end of the video, the girls meet the Black SoShi, their malevolent selves from a parallel universe.
Japanese version
The Japanese version of "Oh!" was released on September 14, 2012. A dance version for "Oh!" was released on September 18, 2012.
The "Oh!" video shares similarities with its Korean counterpart, however, instead of being a High School oriented video, the video is shot as if the girls have now entered College, implying their growth as artists and women. The video begins with the camera panning through their College dorm, all of the members are seen reading, except for Jessica who is playing the Ukulele, Hyoyeon and Seohyun who are playing Rock-paper-scissors. The camera then focuses on a cheerleading jacket with "Girls' Generation" written on it, as well as a football helmet with "GG" written on the side and a decorated cake with "Oh!" written in decorative writing. It then cuts to Tiffany, who says "Go!" and the girls quickly file out into a red-colored changing room where they begin to sing and dance. The video cuts between this and a stadium setting where the group perform as cheerleaders, as well as solo shots of each of the individual members dressed in their cheerleading uniforms. The video ends with the girls entering back into their dorm, taking off their blue cheer jackets. Taeyeon walks towards the camera with her jacket and puts the jacket over it. The final scene is the girls' empty dorm with the camera focusing on a picture on the wall of the group.
Commercial performance
"Oh!" continued the success of its predecessor and ranked highly on Japanese music charts, after ranking first on the Top Songs and Top Singles on the Japanese iTunes store, the single managed to clench the top spot on Oricon's Daily Single chart, where it sold close to 30,000 in its first day, with 29,666 copies sold. After a strong first day of sales, the single debuted atop Oricon's Weekly Single chart, selling 66,000 copies in its first week. Despite only having a week of sales, "Oh!" managed to peak inside the top 10 at #8 on Oricon's Monthly Single chart. The single managed to reach the top spot on Billboard Japan's Hot 100 and Hot Single Sales. However, fairing less well on radio, with the single only peaking at #27 on Top Airplay chart, and #38 on the Adult Contemporary Airplay chart.
Promotion
Korean version
The song was first performed live on January 30, 2010 on MBC's Music Core, as part of their Comeback Stage. However, there was a technical error in MBC's broadcast, with a few seconds of dead air near the end of the performance; the network was subsequently flooded with complaints. The incident was then parodied on YouTube, mixing in clips of the Korean drama IRIS, receiving attention from Korean netizens.
The group followed up with their second performance on The Music Trend the following day.
On their first Music Bank comeback stage, they won the "K-Chart!", beating CNBLUE and 2AM while at the same time breaking the record for the most points on the chart with 23,077 points.
Japanese version
The group was set to perform the single for the first time on September 24, 2012, on Fuji TV’s Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ, which marked their sixth appearance on the show. The group donned pink cheerleading outfits, with knee high boots for the performance of "Oh!" as well as a special performance of "Mr. Taxi". The group also participated in a "Special Program" in anticipation of the single's release, with three Japanese music websites airing performances of the single across three consecutive nights; September 25, 26 and 27. On September 29, the group performed "Oh!" on Count Down TV, dressed in white cheerleading uniforms. The group pre-recorded a performance for NHK-TV's Music Japan prior to the single's release and was scheduled to be broadcast on September 30, however due to a typhoon, the broadcast was delayed. The performance was shown on October 6, with the group performing in blue cheerleading outfits. Promotion for the single continued on Nippon Television’s “Music Lovers", where the group recorded a performance on September 25 for the show that was broadcast on October 8, 2012. The group performed "Oh!", "All My Love Is for You" and "Mr. Taxi".

The steamboat L.T. Haas was a vessel that operated on Lake Washington in the first part of the 20th century.
Construction
L.T. Haas was built in 1902 by G.V. Johnson, who owned an early shipyard on Lake Washington.
Operating career
L.T. Haas, rated at 89 tons, was originally operated by Harry Cade and the Carlson Brothers, who, doing business as the Interlaken Steamship Company, ran her on the Leschi Park-Meydenhauer Bay route. Later Captain John Anderson of Anderson Steamboat Co. acquired L.T. Haas when he merged the Interlaken concern into his own company. L.T. Haas was destroyed by fire in 1909 while on the lake.

The concept of out-of-band infrastructure (OOBI) has been used throughout the telecom industry for voice communication since the mid-1950s. Having a critical requirement to always provide dial-tone for health and safety reasons, the telecom industry created elaborate mechanisms which allowed quick service restoration using alternative communication pathways which were physically and logically separate from the voice traffic itself. This early concept of a distinct 'control path' is considered the foundation of out-of-band infrastructures and simply put, refers to the ability to establish distinct remedial control paths adjacent to production communications pathways.
Out-of-band, indicating that the control signals are sent separately from the data, is in contrast to in-band signalling where the control is sent as special forms of data communications. An example of in-band signalling would be Escape sequence coding.
Computer systems management
Out-of-band management is the adaptation of OOBI for the management of computer servers and data networking hardware, typically over Ethernet and cost-effective wide area networks. | {'title': 'Out-of-band infrastructure', 'url': 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-band%20infrastructure', 'language': 'en', 'timestamp': '20230320'} | Wikipedia | en |

NCAA Championship
The 1958 NCAA Championship game was played in Louisville, Kentucky, before a then NCAA finals record crowd of 18,803, at the newly completed Freedom Hall. Seattle was Kentucky's opponent, led by the great Elgin Baylor. Baylor, a Consensus First Team All-American, was the nation's second-leading scorer (32.5) behind Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson (35.1).
The Chieftains led Kentucky by 11 points in the first half on two occasions. In fact, Seattle was still leading by a score of 60–58 with seven minutes to go in the game. However, led by the sharp shooting of Vernon Hatton and Johnny Cox, Kentucky mounted a strong rally at the end, eventually winning the game by a final score of 84-72. Hatton led Kentucky with 30 points, Cox followed him with 24 points for the Wildcats, while Seattle was led by Baylor, who scored 25 points before fouling out. The victory sealed Kentucky's 4th NCAA Championship.

Firqat al-Ghuraba is an active jihadist group aligned with al-Qaeda based in opposition held areas in the Idlib Governorate in northwestern Syria. The group mostly consists of foreign fighters from Europe with many, including the group's leader, originating from France and Belgium. The group is also believed to have sworn allegiance to al-Qaeda.
Background
The group was established by Omar Diaby who is originally from France of Senegalese heritage. He had recruited foreign fighters to fight in Syria and many would later join either the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or al-Nusra and both of were branches of al-Qaeda in Syria at the time.
Leadership
The group, consisting of 80-100 fighters, was established in the Latakia Governorate of Syria after Diaby entered Syria. Most of the fighters reportedly were from France.
Tensions rose between ISIL and al-Nusra in early 2014. Diaby chose to remain neutral in the conflict until more details would be made available, and said that he would ally with neither due to reports of violations against civilians by both ISIL and al-Nusra.
Despite this, the group itself at one point in time was believed to be part of al-Nusra, and Diaby has criticized ISIL calling the group reactionary, and believing the group is composed only of untrained and ignorant youths that lacked religious education calling their actions deviant behaviour, while viewing al-Qaeda as more sophisticated and scholarly.
He also criticized ISIL's use of graphic imagery in videos saying it only incites rage, however he justified ISIL's November 2015 Paris attacks, saying it was justified based on a Quranic verse saying "transgress for equal transgression" in response to French military operations. It is also believed that the group lost many of its members in defections to ISIL.
The group and its leader have had tensions with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham over HTS's policies as well as targeting of Firqat al-Ghuraba and its leadership by HTS, which Firqat al-Ghuraba and its supporters claim is being done in accordance with Turkish interests.
History
In mid 2015, Diaby was believed to have been killed but later reappeared in early 2016.
In 2017, despite losing many of its original members in defections to ISIL, the group reportedly saw an increase in membership from defectors from ISIL after the group's decline in territory.
Tensions with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham
In 2018, tensions broke out between Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which consists of al-Nusra's successor Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, and Firqat al-Ghuraba over the fate of the daughter of one of Firqat's fighters. The fighter had stated should he be killed in combat he desired for his daughter to remain in Syria under the guardianship of Diaby and not be returned to his divorced wife in Belgium. HTS claimed that Diaby was extorting the mother of the fighter's daughter, his divorced wife by keeping the daughter from returning to Europe, HTS also claimed Diaby had kidnapped her and presented the case to an HTS-affiliated Sharia court.
The court reportedly ruled in favor of HTS, and HTS also claimed that Diaby had violated the court's rulings by releasing information about the case before its conclusion and his refusal to hand the daughter over to HTS, which had been coordinating with Belgian and Turkish intelligence to negotiate her return to her mother. However Diaby claimed that it was an incorrect ruling as Belgium is not an Islamic country, and that she must be raised an Islamic country.
In May 2018, Diaby was arrested by HTS but later released in August 2018, after his release, Firqat al-Ghuraba made a statement that downplayed the tensions with HTS and did not release any information on the case, however Diaby still refused to release the daughter to HTS and he was again arrested in late October.
In November 2018, tensions over the custody of the fighter's daughter between HTS and Firqat al-Ghuraba continued, with HTS arresting several fighters from Firqat al-Ghuraba at the group's headquarters, and several fighters from Firqat fought back against HTS but were encircled and arrested, during the raid fighters from al-Qaeda's Syrian branch the Guardians of Religion Organization came in to support Firqat al-Ghuraba, and the daughter was then taken by force into HTS custody. HTS religious officials released a fatwa justifying the raid and calling Firqat al-Ghuraba kidnappers.
Following the fatwa from the scholar of HTS, an al-Qaeda affiliated scholar released a Fatwa opposing HTS's ruling and instead claimed that she should be placed in the custody of the Guardians of Religion Organization, which HTS claimed was protecting kidnappers in Firqat al-Ghuraba. Another HTS official claimed Firqat al-Ghuraba was extorting ransom for the girl from her mother demanding 50,000 Euros but the mother couldn't afford it, and later sent money to Firqat al-Ghuraba in an attempt to get the group to release her daughter.
By 24 November 2018, HTS and the Guardians of Religion Organization jointly agreed that the daughter would be released to her mother, and that HTS would drop kidnapping charges against Diaby and that the judges would declare him innocent on an account of ignorance, and that he had wrongfully interpreted the will of the fighter, by demanding money from the mother.
However, after the incident, Diaby has remained in HTS custody.

As a result of conflicts between Democratic President Bill Clinton and the Republican Congress over funding for education, the environment, and public health in the 1996 federal budget, the United States federal government shut down from November 14 through November 19, 1995, and from December 16, 1995, to January 6, 1996, for 5 and 21 days, respectively.
The first shutdown occurred after Clinton vetoed the spending bill the Republican-controlled Congress sent him, as Clinton opposed the budget cuts favored by Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and other Republicans. The first budget shutdown ended after Congress passed a temporary budget bill, but the government shut down again after Republicans and Democrats were unable to agree on a long-term budget bill. The second shutdown ended with congressional Republicans accepting Clinton's budget proposal. The first of the two shutdowns caused the furlough of about 800,000 workers, while the second caused about 284,000 workers to be furloughed.
Polling generally showed that most respondents blamed congressional Republicans for the shutdowns, and Clinton's handling of the shutdowns may have bolstered his ultimately successful campaign in the 1996 presidential election. The second of the two shutdowns was the longest government shutdown in U.S. history until the 2018–2019 government shutdown surpassed it in January 2019.
Background
When the previous fiscal year ended on September 30, 1995, the Democratic president and the Republican-controlled Congress had not passed a budget. A majority of Congress members and the House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, had promised to slow the rate of government spending; however, this conflicted with the President's objectives for education, the environment, Medicare, and public health.
According to Bill Clinton's autobiography, their differences resulted from differing estimates of economic growth, medical inflation, and anticipated revenues.
When Clinton refused to cut the budget in the way Republicans wanted, Gingrich threatened to refuse to raise the debt limit, which would have caused the United States Treasury to suspend funding other portions of the government to avoid putting the country in default.
Clinton said Republican amendments would strip the U.S. Treasury of its ability to dip into federal trust funds to avoid a borrowing crisis. Republican amendments would have limited appeals by death-row inmates, made it harder to issue health, safety and environmental regulations, and would have committed the President to a seven-year budget plan. Clinton vetoed a second bill allowing the government to keep operating beyond the time when most spending authority expires. A GOP amendment opposed by Clinton would not only have increased Medicare Part B premiums, but it would also cancel a scheduled reduction. The Republicans held out for an increase in Medicare part B premiums in January 1996 to $53.50 a month. Clinton favored the then current law, which was to let the premium that seniors pay drop to $42.50.
Since a budget for the new fiscal year was not approved, on October 1 the entire federal government operated on a continuing resolution authorizing interim funding for departments until new budgets were approved. The continuing resolution was set to expire on November 13 at midnight, at which time non-essential government services were required to cease operations in order to prevent expending funds that had not yet been appropriated. Congress passed a continuing resolution for funding and a bill to limit debt, which Clinton vetoed as he denounced them as "backdoor efforts" to cut the budget in a partisan manner.
On November 13, Republican and Democratic leaders, including Vice President Al Gore, Dick Armey, and Bob Dole, met to try to resolve the budget and were unable to reach an agreement.
Events
On November 14, major portions of the federal government suspended operations.
The Clinton administration later released figures detailing the costs of the shutdown, which included payments of approximately $400 million to furloughed federal employees who did not report to work.
The first budget shutdown concluded with Congress enacting a temporary spending bill, but the underlying disagreement between Gingrich and Clinton was not resolved. The government shut down again on December 16 after Clinton vetoed a Republican budget proposal that would have extended tax cuts to the wealthy, cut spending on social programs, and shifted control of Medicaid to the states. After a 21-day government shutdown, Republicans accepted Clinton's budget, as polling showed that many members of the public blamed Republicans for the shutdown.
During the crisis, while being questioned by Lars-Erik Nelson at a breakfast held by The Christian Science Monitor, Gingrich made a complaint that, during a flight to and from Yitzhak Rabin's funeral in Israel, Clinton had not taken the opportunity to talk about the budget and Gingrich had been directed to leave the plane via the rear door. The perception arose that the Republican stance on the budget was partly due to this "snub" by Clinton, and media coverage reflected this perception, including an editorial cartoon which depicted Gingrich as an infant throwing a temper tantrum. Opposing politicians used this opportunity to attack Gingrich's motives for the budget standoff. Later, the polls suggested that the event damaged Gingrich politically and he referred to his comments as his "single most avoidable mistake" as Speaker.
Result
A 1995 ABC News poll had Republicans receiving the brunt of the blame with 46% of respondents compared to the 27% that blamed Clinton. Clinton's Gallup approval rating stood at 51% in the early days of the December shutdown, but fell significantly to 42% as it progressed into January. Once the shutdown had ended, however, his Gallup approval ratings rose to their highest since his election.
The shutdown also influenced the 1996 Presidential election. Bob Dole, the Senate Majority Leader, was running for president in 1996. Due to his need to campaign, Dole wanted to solve the budget crisis in January 1996 despite the willingness of other Republicans to continue the shutdown unless their demands were met. In particular, as Gingrich and Dole had been seen as potential rivals for the 1996 Presidential nomination, they had a tense working relationship. The shutdown was cited by Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos as having a role in Clinton's successful 1996 re-election.
According to Gingrich, positive impacts of the government shutdown included the balanced-budget deal in 1997 and the first four consecutive balanced budgets since the 1920s. In addition, Gingrich stated that the first re-election of a Republican majority since 1928 was due in part to the Republican Party's hard line on the budget. The Republican Party had a net loss of eight seats in the House in the 1996 elections but retained a 227-206-seat majority in the upcoming 105th United States Congress. In the Senate, Republicans gained two seats.
A 2010 Congressional Research Service report summarized other details of the 1995–1996 government shutdowns, indicating the shutdown impacted all sectors of the economy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped disease surveillance; new clinical research patients were not accepted at the National Institutes of Health; and toxic waste cleanup at 609 sites was halted. Other impacts included: the closure of 368 National Park sites resulted in the loss of some seven million visitors; 200,000 applications for passports were not processed; and 20,000–30,000 applications by foreigners for visas went unprocessed each day; U.S. tourism and airline industries incurred millions of dollars in losses; more than 20% of federal contracts, representing $3.7 billion in spending, were affected adversely. Military pay and benefits however were not adversely affected as resolutions were imparted to ensure payments were received as scheduled.

Christopher Derek Foley, commonly known as KiddChris. (AKA Foley / Cobra / The Chris) (born 1974) is an American radio host. He has hosted radio shows in several cities since 1998.
The radio show originated in his hometown of Syracuse, New York. His controversial radio show made its way to Wichita, Kansas (KICT T-95FM, KDGS Power 93.9FM, KANR FLY 92.7FM), which raised the ire of local church groups. Many religious organizations attempted to band together and remove KiddChris from the airwaves, but he remained on the air.
Chris then moved to Sacramento, California, where he hosted a morning show on a hip-hop station KSFM. After several months, he moved into an evening show on the sister FM talk station KXOA. KiddChris's four-hour talk show was one of the highest-rated radio shows on the Pacific coast. While in Sacramento, Chris gained national attention by sending a series of prank phone calls made to O. J. Simpson to the popular Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern nationally syndicated shows and Thomas Kitajima eventually joined the show in Sacramento.
In the fall of 2002, KiddChris took a hiatus from radio and retired to upstate New York. There, he rejuvenated himself and prepared for his return, which occurred on the morning of January 5, 2004, in San Antonio, Texas. He hosted a highly rated show at San Antonio's KSRX K-Rock until early August 2005.
Philadelphia developments
KiddChris signed with Philadelphia rock station WYSP and The KiddChris Show began broadcasting on Monday, August 29, 2005. While Chris made remarks that the show was "gay" and that "it'll be gone in six months," this incarnation of his show lasted for over two years, and the station exercised their right to extend his contract for one more.
On August 21, 2006, it was announced that The KiddChris Show had been syndicated to a rock station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The show entered syndication on August 28, 2006.
On September 13, 2007, the Philadelphia station announced a format change from all talk to a rock/talk hybrid. The official change, which left KiddChris on during the drive-time hours of 3pm-7pm, was announced during the KiddChris Show. Moments before the announcement, Chris, with Opie and Anthony in-studio, commented that "It would be a hoot if they fired us live right after the big announcement." After announcing the format change, the station dropped to music and The KiddChris Show did not return to the air, causing confusion on multiple listener-run message boards as to their fate. On September 14, 2007, Chris appeared on The Opie and Anthony show and there was no mentioning of a firing.
The show returned to the air on September 17, 2007, but with old recordings in-between music, leaving fans of the show confused as to its fate. Soon after, Chris stated that they needed to "establish the rock first. The show WILL be back", which confirmed the statements made by other sources that the show will be returning to its original form.
On the Howard Stern Show on October 22, 2007, KiddChris called in to discuss Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. Howard quickly turned the topic of conversation to Chris' employment at the station, claiming a "pretty good source" told him Chris would take over the morning slot from Opie and Anthony relatively soon. Chris had no comment on the rumor.
On October 23, 2007, the Philadelphia rock station ended their syndication of Opie and Anthony's morning show. There was no mention of it on-air by Chris. KiddChris ended his show that night unexpectedly with Journey 's "Don't Stop Believin'." He has stated on-air in the past that if anything were to "go down" in regards to the show, he would play that song (though he originally claimed the song would play in the background and he would continue on as if nothing was happening). No morning or afternoon show aired for about a month.
On November 6, 2007, KiddChris was called by possible evening DJ Tic-Tac about his future with the station. In so many words, he stated that he "will be back", but claimed not to know when or in what time slot. Callers asked whether he was joining the Howard Stern Show staff and he said that would be impossible since he is staying in Philadelphia. He reminded fans that if he was fired, he would no longer be featured on the website.
During the week of November 18, 2007, Chris's website was changed to a countdown with the tagline "Are You Ready?", set to end on Monday, November 26 at 6 AM. The countdown also appeared on his MySpace page. Prior to this, the station began to air short recordings featuring the "Are You Ready?" tagline, as well as the opening of "The Game" by Motörhead (the theme song of The KiddChris Show). The recordings varied; they included short clips from the show, clips from Brad the Cripple interviews, recordings of callers asking what happened to the show and if he was going to return in the mornings and Howard Stern discussing the future of KiddChris in morning drive. However, there was no official voiceover to these clips, no direct mention of "The KiddChris Show" or any date of return.
The KiddChris Show officially returned to the airwaves on Monday, November 26, 2007, at 6 AM EST. Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Michael Klein reported in his Sunday column of the show’s return. The move to the morning slot was notable for a few reasons. It replaced the Opie and Anthony Show. In January, the show was second to rival Philadelphia morning show hosts Preston and Steve among men ages 18–34.
In May 2008, KiddChris was fired over a guest's racist parody song (three months after it was aired.) Also fired was program director John Cook.
Post Philadelphia developments
After Foley's firing, he then hosted his own internet radio show for several months in 2009 until his transfer to KUFO in Portland, Oregon.
KiddChris announced in May 2011 on the Howard Stern Show that he was bringing his morning show to WKLS "Project 9-6-1" in Atlanta.
Project 9-6-1 was discontinued in August 2012.
In October 2012, he began to host mornings at WEBN in Cincinnati. As of September 2022, he remains at WEBN and it is his longest tenure in any city/station.

Derek Smith (16 April 1927 – 17 March 2015) was a BBC Television producer whose body of work extended to more than 100 programmes or series. He was the creator and producer of the original series of Top Gear and the adventure survival series Now Get Out Of That.
Early career
Smith joined the BBC in Birmingham 1957, working as an assistant producer on the newly created Farming magazine programme. In the early 1960s he moved on to work on general programming, directing and producing films and programmes on a range of subjects for the BBC.
Military subjects
One of the first of a number of films he made about the services was Soldier In The Sun, a film looking at the Royal Anglian Regiment in Aden and Yemen (1964). The film has been chosen by the BBC for inclusion in its BBC Four Army Collection. Another was Singapore Twilight (1965) showing the closing tasks of Midland army units. Others include: The Last Outpost, a film about the Trucial Oman Scouts in Arabia (1965); Men Of Action, a Royal Marines team competition (1966); Fly The Helicopter, showing the RAF Search and Rescue at work (1966); They Speak The Language Anyway looking at life at a US Air Force base at Mildenhall in East Anglia. (1967)
Smith produced The Flight Deck Story, the history of the aircraft carrier, filmed on and on off the coast of Vietnam. He also produced Mission To Hell, which followed the Bishop of Birmingham Leonard Wilson returning to Singapore to tell his story of war time imprisonment by the Japanese Army. Another military history film Smith made at this time was Jump Jet, the history of the Hawker Harrier, vertical take-off or land aircraft.
General subjects
A film for the series The World About Us, The Lost River Of Gaping Gill showed cavers exploring the route of an underground river in Yorkshire.
In 1971, Smith was in the news when an advertisement for his documentary The Car Makers, which included a look behind the scenes of British Leyland's new Morris Marina car, inadvertently revealed the name and images of the car ahead of its launch.
A series of six films produced by Smith in 1974 was Journey Through Summer, in which actor and writer PJ Kavanagh viewed various parts of Britain through long-distance walks. The series received a positive review in the Daily Express, featuring Smith's production.
Smith also produced four films Archie Hill Comes Home, about the writer's return to the Black Country (1974). Four In Hand was a film Smith produced with HRH Duke of Edinburgh, discussing and demonstrating Carriage Driving Events (1974).
A studio based programme devised by Smith was Major Minor, a piano competition for 10-13 year-olds. A BBC Midlands programme, repeated on the network, it ran for three seasons and was presented by musician and composer Steve Race.
In 1975, Smith produced the film Return To Dunkirk, about the men who escaped from a massacre at Esquelbecq. Just A Year followed three of the survivors of the Birmingham pub bombs in November 1974 which killed 21 people.
In March 1977, Smith created and produced a new series for BBC Midlands, Top Gear. A magazine style programme, it ran for nine monthly episodes shown only in the Midlands region. The following year, it became a network show, broadcast nationally on BBC 2. Smith continued as series producer. A spin-off programme Smith also produced annually, was Rally Report a nightly report, including film, of the Lombard RAC Rally, also presented by William Woollard.
Smith produced several series of Kick Start, a competition based on the sport of motorcycle trials riding. An original programme devised by Smith was Now Get Out Of That, an outdoor competition between two teams testing their survival abilities along with problem solving mental tests.

The Levich equation models the diffusion and solution flow conditions around a rotating disk electrode (RDE). It is named after Veniamin Grigorievich Levich who first developed an RDE as a tool for electrochemical research. It can be used to predict the current observed at an RDE, in particular, the Levich equation gives the height of the sigmoidal wave observed in rotating disk voltammetry. The sigmoidal wave height is often called the Levich current.
Equation
The Levich equation is written as:
where IL is the Levich current (A), n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the half reaction (number), F is the Faraday constant (C/mol), A is the electrode area (cm2), D is the diffusion coefficient (see Fick's law of diffusion) (cm2/s), ω is the angular rotation rate of the electrode (rad/s), v is the kinematic viscosity (cm2/s), C is the analyte concentration (mol/cm3). In this form of the equation, the constant with a value of 0.620 has units of rad-1/2.
The leading term 0.620 is from the calculation of the velocity profile near the surface of the electrode. Using cylindrical coordinates, the von Karman and Cochran solution to the Navier-Stokes equations yields the two relevant profiles to electrochemical study:
The Levich equation can subsequently be derived by integrating the steady-state convection diffusion equation:
The leading numeric value varies with the units of ω: 0.621 is referred to ω in rad/s; other common values are 1.554 for ω in Hz, and 0.201 for ω in rpm.
Whereas the Levich equation suffices for many purposes, improved forms based on derivations utilising more terms in the velocity expression are available.
Simplified form
The Levich equation is often simplified by defining a Levich constant B such that:

Julius H. Wiggins (September 19, 1928 – October 13, 2001) was the founder of Silent News, the first newspaper for the deaf.
Personal life
He was born in North York, Ontario, Canada, and attended Belleville School for the Deaf in Belleville, Ontario. Later he transferred to a vocational school focusing on tailoring skills. Once he was at the trade school, his father who was in the fur business saw much potential in Julius. His father then took him under his wing and they began working alongside another. Later he met Harriet Berkowitz in New York City at a deaf event; he then asked for her hand in marriage. They married on March 23, 1952. Harriet and Julius worked hand in hand in the production of Silent News. They were married for 49 years and had three children. He loved to travel with his family. Throughout his life, they explored many different countries. He believed that high visibility was key to gathering information for the newspaper (Trudy). He was active in promoting organizations to the deaf community. The organizations he was a part of include "Temple Beth Or of the Deaf in Queens New York", the Philadelphia Hebrew Association of the Deaf, New York Hebrew Association of the Deaf, and Brooklyn Hebrew Society of the Deaf. He was not only active in the organizations listed above he was also a member of the National Association of the Deaf and the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf.
Career
At 20 years of age, Wiggins moved to New York City to further his career in the fur business and worked at the Manhattan fur district. It was hard for him as a deaf man to have equal opportunities in the workplace. But with his dedication and determination, he worked his way to the top of his company. Once the fur market plummeted, he became unemployed. Later he found a job at a postal service. He found the job to be tedious and was ridiculed by his hearing co-workers. It was not until he took a family trip that his career path dramatically changed. On the family vacation, he saw a sign that said, "Who, What, Where, and Why." That inspired him with ideas for the future of the deaf community. He was able to get 10 of his closest deaf friends together to organize and fund a paper company geared towards the deaf and hard of hearing community that would soon be known as Silent News. Each invested $250.00 into the company (Rachel). Soon after, Silent News was born in January 1969. Each issue was 15 cents. His family played a vital role in the production of the newspaper in the first year. The headquarters for the newspaper were in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. Wiggins held a huge role in connecting the deaf community and allowing them to be aware of upcoming events and news. The newspaper brought national and international news, latest technology, health and sports, and stories about successful and up in coming deaf people. Later he wrote an autobiography called No Sound, published in 1972, which recounted in depth about many hardships he encountered with hearing individuals and the oppression he felt throughout his life (Trudy). Silent News has left an everlasting footprint for the future of the deaf community. In the 1990s due to his failing health the newspaper was sold to Adele Wiggins. Soon after he died on October 13, 2001.
Silent News
Wiggins and his family moved from North York, Ontario to a home in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, where they intended to start a newspaper for the deaf.<ref>Matsumoto, Lori. "No Sound speaks up for the world of silence", 'The Mirror, July 5, 1970. Accessed November 30, 2017. "Julius Wiggins was born here in Toronto and grew up here. His love of the city and its idiosyncracies are obvious. He and his wife and three children lived on Acton Avenue in Downsview for 10 years before moving to Fair Lawn, New Jersey to begin publishing Silent News a year and a half ago."</ref> The first issue of Silent News was launched on January 1, 1969, its focus being to bring awareness to events, news, sports, etc. for the deaf. The newspaper would have about 7,000 subscribers per month but in actuality more than 30,000 would be reading (Jamie). This was due to people passing around the paper. This hindered the newspaper greatly; it did not allow the newspaper he profit to succeed. Even though the newspaper struggled throughout the years it managed to survive and outlast its competition. With the technological advances, Silent News began to expand to the web. The subscribers decreased soon after and in return Silent News came to an end. Silent News'' changed the life of many deaf people throughout the years. It was an iconic media device. It was the first media outlet geared towards the deaf, opening the door to many other media outlets for the deaf.

Hoole Village is a village and former civil parish near Chester, in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. The civil parish was abolished in 2015 to form Mickle Trafford and District, part of it also went to Guilden Sutton. The parish contained the southern end of the M53 motorway where it becomes the A55 road and is crossed by the A56 road. This junction is known as Hoole Island Junction. Also in the village is Hoole Hall, which is now a hotel.
In 2004 the population was 230, rising to 319 at the time of the 2011 census.
History
In September 1955 a prehistoric arrowhead and a worked flake were found in a garden in the parish. The arrowhead was dated to the period between the Early Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age (2350 BC to 701 BC). In 1995 aerial photography showed evidence of a Roman practice fort near to Hoole Hall. It is believed that the Roman road from Chester to Wilderspool (now part of Warrington) passed through the parish.
Landmarks and places of interest
Hoole Hall was built as a large house around 1720. The hall itself, its attached conservatory built in the mid 19th century, and the ha-ha wall and railings of the west terrace of the house are Grade II listed buildings. The hall is now used as a hotel. Also listed Grade II is a restored pinfold in Oak Lane.

The Christian Munsee are a group of Lenape (also known as Delaware), an Indigenous people in the United States, that primarily speak Munsee and have converted to Christianity, following the teachings of Moravian missionaries. The Christian Munsee are also known as the Moravian Munsee or the Moravian Indians, the Moravian Christian Indians or, in context, simply the Christian Indians. As the Moravian Church transferred some of their missions to other Christian denominations, such as the Methodists, Christian Munsee today belong to the Moravian Church, Methodist Church, United Church of Canada, among other Christian denominations.
The Christian Munsee tribe has produced several people who have become notable figures in Christianity and the Delaware Nation as a whole, such as Gelelemend (a Lenape chief), John Henry Kilbuck (a Moravian Christian missionary to the Native peoples in Alaska), Papunhank (a Moravian Lenape diplomat and preacher), Glikhikan (Munsee chief, Moravian elder, and Christian martyr), and Washington Jacobs (a chief of the Moravian of the Thames reservation).
Present-day Christian Munsee communities include Moravian of the Thames, the Christian Munsee tribe in Kansas, and the Stockbridge–Munsee Community.
History
Starting in the 1740s, the Moravian Church sent out Christian missionaries to American Indian tribes and started settlements, with full tribal support. The ranks of the Christian Munsee thus include influential Lenape chiefs from the start. The Moravian Christian approach was to preserve Lenape cultural practices while passing on to the Lenape the Gospel message with the entirety of the Christian faith. As such, Moravian Christian missionaries developed the orthography for Lenape dialects and David Zeisberger "compiled dictionaries of various Native tongues, translating them into English and German".
Mid-Atlantic states and Ohio
The Munsee were the Wolf Clan of the Lenape, occupying the area where present-day New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey meet. The first recorded European contact occurred in 1524, when Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed into what is now New York Harbor. Like most native peoples of the Atlantic coast, the Munsee were quickly devastated by European diseases such as smallpox and influenza, and those who survived were forced inland. By the mid-18th century, one group of Lenape people began to follow the teachings of the Moravian missionaries. The Moravians were descended from the exiled Protestants from Morava, now Czech Republic, who founded a Protestant denomination from Herrnhut in the Germann state of Saxony. They sought to protect their converts by creating separate mission villages in the frontier, apart from both European settlers and from other native people.
The most prominent missionary among the Munsee was David Zeisberger. In 1772, he led his group of Christian Munsee to the Ohio Country, which he hoped would isolate them from the hostilities of the approaching American Revolution. However, in 1782, a force of Pennsylvania militiamen, in search of Indians who had been raiding settlements in western Pennsylvania, happened upon a group of ninety-six of Zeisberger's Christian Munsee harvesting corn, and rounded them up in the eastern Ohio village of Gnadenhütten. Although the Munsee truthfully pleaded their innocence and explained their non-combatant, nonresistant Christian convictions, the militia took a vote and decided to kill them all, including the women and children; these faithful are known as the Moravian Christian Indian Martyrs.
While the American militiamen murdered the Moravian Christian Indians in Gnadenhutten, a messenger sent by the Moravian missionaries in Sandusky on March 3 reached Schoenbrunn on March 6 in order to deliver the news that all of them would be moving to Detroit; two of the Moravian Indians from Schoenbrunn went to inform their brethren in Gnadenhutten but on their journey there, they saw that the American soldiers had mangled body of Joseph Schebosh Jr, a Moravian with a European father and Indian mother. They buried his body and quickly returned to warn their brethren in Schoenbrunn as they thought that the others at Gnadenhutten met the same fate. For this reason, the Moravian Christian Indians at Schoenbrunn were able to flee to Sandusky before the American militiamen could advance from Gnadenhutten to Schoenbrunn, where they planned to commit another massacre.
In 1798, David Zeisberger led many of the Moravian Christian Indians back to Ohio, where they established the Goshen Mission near Schoenbrunn; there, Zeisberger lived until he peacefully died after which many of the Moravian Christian Indians moved to Ontario (cf. Delaware Nation at Moraviantown) and others to Kansas, along with Christian missionaries who continued to live and work among them. The descendants of both Jacob and Ester, the children of Israel Welapachtshechen (who was martyred in the Gnadenhutten massacre), make up the majority of the Christian Munsee tribe in Kansas today. In 1903, the Moravian Christians transferred the Christian Munsee mission in Moraviantown to Methodist Christians, a denomination that eventually joined the United Church of Canada, a United Protestant denomination to which many Christian Munsee belong to today.
Ontario
After ten more years of strife, most of the Christian Munsee followed Zeisberger to Ontario, Canada, where they established a new home at Fairfield, commonly known as Moraviantown, along the Thames River. There they lived in relative peace for twenty years, supporting themselves with their farming and industry. However, once again they became unwitting victims of war, when American soldiers burned their village to the ground during the War of 1812 Battle of the Thames. The battle is well known historically as a victory for General William Henry Harrison, and for the death of the Shawnee chief Tecumseh, but the destruction of Moraviantown is little more than a footnote. The Munsee fled into the wilderness for safe haven until hostilities had ceased, then returned to build a new Fairfield across the Thames River to the south, which is now known as Moraviantown. In 1903, the Moravian Christians transferred the Christian Munsee mission in Moraviantown to Methodist Christians, a denomination that eventually joined the United Church of Canada, a United Protestant denomination to which many Christian Munsee belong to today.
Wisconsin
By the 1830s, a faction of the Christian Munsee favored a move to the American West. In 1837, some of the Munsee from Fairfield journeyed to Wisconsin to join another Christian band of Indians, the Stockbridge Indians, a combination of the last remnants of the Mohican and Wappinger peoples of the east bank of the Hudson, whence the two tribes became known collectively as the Stockbridge-Munsee. They are now the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Shawano County, Wisconsin. However, most of the Munsee eventually returned to Canada. The Christian Munsee in southern Ontario remain today as the Moravian of the Thames and the Munsee-Delaware Nation.
Kansas
A small band of Christian Munsee decided to migrate again, this time to Kansas Territory, to join their non-Christian Lenape kinsmen. They settled first in Wyandotte County, then Leavenworth County. A few families settled near Fort Scott in Bourbon County. By 1857, most of the other Lenape (of Kansas) were removed to Indian Territory.
The Christian Munsee, who now numbered less than one hundred, chose to purchase a new reservation in Franklin County from a small band of Ojibwa (Chippewa) that had migrated from Michigan. The Treaty of 1859 officially combined the Swan Creek and Black River Band Chippewa and the Christian Munsee on a reservation of twelve square miles along the Marais des Cygnes River near the town of Ottawa. Signing the treaty for the Munsee were Henry Donohoe, Ignatius Caleb, and John Williams.
Although the two tribes shared a reservation and were considered one tribe by the United States government in all dealings, they maintained their separate identities in cultural and religious practices. The Moravian church continued to send missionaries to the Munsee.
Under the Dawes Act, the Chippewa-Christian Indian Reservation, as it was known in the 1859 treaty, was allotted to the individual members and descendants of the tribes in separate 160-acre plots. The people eventually accepted assimilation. In 1900, the final disbursement of federal funds was paid, and all benefits and official recognition as Native Americans were dissolved. A number of the Christian Munsee Tribe in Kansas live on the reservation in Ottawa, Kansas where they cling to their Christian faith and Lenape heritage.
Notable members of the Christian Munsee tribe
The Christian Munsee tribe has produced several people who have become notable figures in both Christianity and the Delaware Nation as a whole:
Gelelemend, Lenape chief of the Turtle clan
John Henry Kilbuck, Moravian Christian missionary to the Native peoples in Alaska
Papunhank, a Moravian Christian Lenape diplomat and preacher
Glikhikan, Munsee chief, Moravian Christian elder, and Moravian Christian martyr
96 Moravian Christian Indian Martyrs, who practiced nonresistance as they were murdered in the Gnadenhutten massacre on 8 March 1782
Washington Jacobs, chief of the Moravian of the Thames reservation.

The 1964 Bluebonnet Bowl was a college football postseason bowl game between the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and the Ole Miss Rebels.
Background
After finishing 1st in the SEC three out of the last four years, the Rebels fell to 7th place in the Southeastern Conference, the first season without finishing 1st-4th since finishing 11th in 1950. This was the 8th straight bowl appearance for the Rebels, in their first ever Bluebonnet Bowl. The Golden Hurricane finished 2nd in the Missouri Valley Conference after losing to Cincinnati earlier in the year. One highlight was Jerry Rhome, a quarterback who finished 2nd in the Heisman Trophy vote by a close margin. The Golden Hurricane were invited to their first bowl since 1953.
Game summary
Jim Weatherly gave the Rebels a 7–0 lead in the second quarter on his 1-yard plunge into the endzone. But the lead would not last long. Jerry Rhome culminated a 72-yard, 8 play drive on a touchdown run of his own to make it 7–7 at halftime. Midway through the third quarter, Rhome struck again, throwing a touchdown pass of 35 yards to Eddie Fletcher. From there on, Tulsa's defense held firm, holding Mississippi to less than 250 yards. In losing efforts, Weatherly went 16-of-24, but threw for only 113 yards while throwing 2 interceptions. Mike Dennis rushed for 73 yards on 17 carries while catching nine passes for 114 yards. For the Golden Hurricane, Rhome went 22-of-36 for 252 yards and rushed for 29 yards on 22 carries, scoring both Tulsa touchdowns. This was Tulsa's first bowl win since 1944.
Aftermath
Tulsa returned to the Bluebonnet Bowl the following year, but lost. The Golden Hurricane did not win another bowl game until 1991.

Kolovrat () is a Russian Rock Against Communism (RAC)/thrash metal band. This is a cult band among the Russian nationalists and has been described as "famous" in the RAC scene and "best known" of the Russian white power bands. It has been described as a neo-Nazi group.
History
The band was founded in 1994, in Moscow by Fedor Volkov and his friends. Denis Gerasimov is a frontman of the group from 2000 year. Originally called Russkoe Getto (, Russian Ghetto), they changed their name to Kolovrat in the autumn of 1997. The band's songs cover a wide variety of styles including rock, metal, Oi!, NSBM and ballads.
On November 4, 2009, the band played openly for the first time in the center of Moscow, at the Bolotnaya Square as part of the yearly "Russian March".
The band was still around as of the mid-2010s.

Rhyme & Reason is an album by saxophonist Ted Nash which was recorded in 1998 and released on the Arabesque label the following year.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos said "As an emerging improviser and thoroughly modern composer, Nash hits his stride with this startling recording, utilizing a double quartet of standard instrumentation and strings. ... Nash has created music that is jazz based but stretches into several different areas. It's new music in every sense, has a universal appeal, unquestioned high level musicianship, and intrigue. This is one you do not want to pass on. Highly recommended".
On All About Jazz, Douglas Payne noted "Ted Nash strives for something meaningful on Rhyme and Reason. Unlike other proclaimed and long-forgotten jazz events over the last few decades, Ted Nash has achieved something remarkable and lasting - just as the decade comes to an end", John Sharpe stated "At a time when the marketplace seems to be dominated by the sounds of "smooth jazz," it's encouraging to know that recordings such as these are still being produced. Saxophonist Ted Nash, who grew up in a very musical family, composed and arranged the entire CD and it's an ambitious, challenging piece of work", and Glenn Astarita observed "On Rhyme & Reason, the “Ted Nash Double Quartet”, is a finely tuned music machine, led by Nash’ multifaceted horn work along with on-target ensemble work and brisk arrangements. ... an extremely impressive release. Rhyme and Reason has staying power! Nash’ ability to entertain and sustain interest lies within his sharp arrangements, memorably melodic compositions and strong leadership qualities. Razor sharp soloing and ensemble work aside, Rhyme & Reason offers the complete package as it all sounds so natural and effortless".
In JazzTimes, Bill Bennett wrote "This recording demonstrates that the range of what might be called chamber jazz is just as broad as that of its classical cousin. ... Nash has created some stunning settings for improvisation. His playing is broadly sourced and often inspired".

Princess Caroline Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt (11 July 1723 – 8 April 1783), was a consort of Baden, a dilettante artist, scientist, collector and salonist.
Biography
The daughter of Louis VIII of Hesse-Darmstadt and Charlotte Christine Magdalene Johanna of Hanau, she married on January 28, 1751, to Charles Frederick, Margrave of Baden.
She is described as learned, spoke five languages, corresponded with Voltaire and made Karlsruhe to a cultural centre in Germany where she counted Johann Gottfried von Herder, Johann Caspar Lavater, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, Christoph Willibald Gluck and Christoph Martin Wieland among her guests. She was a member of Markgräflich Baden court orchestra and the Danish Academy of Fine Arts, draw, painted in water colours and had a laboratory set up in the Karlsruhe palace. Carl von Linné named Glückskastanie Carolinea Princeps L. after her, and Friedrich Wilhelm von Leysser was hired to gather plants for her. She supported herself and managed a soap- and candle-factory. Her health was ruined by a fall in 1779, and she died by a stroke during a trip with her son.
Her collections were the foundation of the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe and the State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe.

Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) is a diversity scheme used in OFDM-based telecommunication systems, transforming spatial diversity into frequency diversity and thus avoiding intersymbol interference.
CDD was introduced in 2001 and can gain frequency diversity at the receiver without changing the SISO receiver structure.
The idea of CDD for OFDM had previously also been submitted as a patent application in September 2000.

Career
Smith attended the University of Maine at Orono, and hit .403 in his final season as a senior.
St. Louis Cardinals
Smith was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals out of the University of Maine in the 39th round (1,175th overall) of the June 2008 First-Year Player Draft. At Maine, Smith was named America East Player of the Year in 2008. In 2008, Smith played for the Rookie ball Johnson City Cardinals and the Single-A Quad Cities River Bandits. In 2009, he was assigned to the Single-A advanced Palm Beach Cardinals, and briefly spent time with the Double-A Springfield Cardinals. Smith spent the entire 2010 season with Springfield, and was named a mid-season All-Star. On April 3, 2011, Smith was released by the Cardinals organization. At the time of his release, Smith was a career .301/.336/.457 hitter in 260 minor league games.
Miami Marlins
After spending the remainder of the 2011 season with the Lincoln Saltdogs of the American Association, Smith signed a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins organization on December 16, 2011.

In graph drawing, the angular resolution of a drawing of a graph is the sharpest angle formed by any two edges that meet at a common vertex of the drawing.
Properties
Relation to vertex degree
observed that every straight-line drawing of a graph with maximum degree has angular resolution at most : if is a vertex of degree , then the edges incident to partition the space around into wedges with total angle , and the smallest of these wedges must have an angle of at most . More strongly, if a graph is -regular, it must have angular resolution less than , because this is the best resolution that can be achieved for a vertex on the convex hull of the drawing.
Relation to graph coloring
As showed, the largest possible angular resolution of a graph is closely related to the chromatic number of the square , the graph on the same vertex set in which pairs of vertices are connected by an edge whenever their distance in is at most two. If can be colored with colors, then G may be drawn with angular resolution , for any , by assigning distinct colors to the vertices of a regular -gon and placing each vertex of close to the polygon vertex with the same color. Using this construction, they showed that every graph with maximum degree has a drawing with angular resolution proportional to . This bound is close to tight: they used the probabilistic method to prove the existence of graphs with maximum degree whose drawings all have angular resolution .
Existence of optimal drawings
provided an example showing that there exist graphs that do not have a drawing achieving the maximum possible angular resolution; instead, these graphs have a family of drawings whose angular resolutions tend towards some limiting value without reaching it. Specifically, they exhibited an 11-vertex graph that has drawings of angular resolution for any , but that does not have a drawing of angular resolution exactly .
Special classes of graphs
Trees
Every tree may be drawn in such a way that the edges are equally spaced around each vertex, a property known as perfect angular resolution. Moreover, if the edges may be freely permuted around each vertex, then such a drawing is possible, without crossings, with all edges unit length or higher, and with the entire drawing fitting within a bounding box of polynomial area. However, if the cyclic ordering of the edges around each vertex is already determined as part of the input to the problem, then achieving perfect angular resolution with no crossings may sometimes require exponential area.
Outerplanar graphs
Perfect angular resolution is not always possible for outerplanar graphs, because vertices on the convex hull of the drawing with degree greater than one cannot have their incident edges equally spaced around them. Nonetheless, every outerplanar graph of maximum degree has an outerplanar drawing with angular resolution proportional to .
Planar graphs
For planar graphs with maximum degree , the square-coloring technique of provides a drawing with angular resolution proportional to , because the square of a planar graph must have chromatic number proportional to . More precisely, Wegner conjectured in 1977 that the chromatic number of the square of a planar graph is at most , and it is known that the chromatic number is at most . However, the drawings resulting from this technique are generally not planar.
For some planar graphs, the optimal angular resolution of a planar straight-line drawing is , where is the degree of the graph. Additionally, such a drawing may be forced to use very long edges, longer by an exponential factor than the shortest edges in the drawing.
used the circle packing theorem and ring lemma to show that every planar graph with maximum degree has a planar drawing whose angular resolution is at worst an exponential function of , independent of the number of vertices in the graph.
Computational complexity
It is NP-hard to determine whether a given graph of maximum degree has a drawing with angular resolution , even in the special case that . However, for certain restricted classes of drawings, including drawings of trees in which extending the leaves to infinity produces a convex subdivision of the plane as well as drawings of planar graphs in which each bounded face is a centrally-symmetric polygon, a drawing of optimal angular resolution may be found in polynomial time.
History
Angular resolution was first defined by .
Although originally defined only for straight-line drawings of graphs, later authors have also investigated the angular resolution of drawings in which the edges are polygonal chains, circular arcs, or spline curves.
The angular resolution of a graph is closely related to its crossing resolution, the angle formed by crossings in a drawing of the graph. In particular, RAC drawing seeks to ensure that these angles are all right angles, the largest crossing angle possible.

Rabbi Shimon ben Halafta was a rabbi who lived in the 2nd century CE (fourth generation of tannaim).
His life
Little is known of his life, but a number of stories are recorded involving him, often involving miracles.
He was the brother of R' Jose ben Halafta and the son of R' Halafta. He lived in Ein Teenah, which some identify with modern-day עין תינה in the Golan Heights.
He was obese. Once on a hot day, he asked his daughter to fan him, offering to pay her for this service with packages of nard spices. Suddenly the wind blew, and he exclaimed, "How many packages of nard do I owe to the master of the wind (God)?"
He was extremely poor. It is said that once he did not have money for Shabbat expenses, and upon praying he was miraculously given a precious stone. However, his wife refused to use the stone, so as not to have his reward in this world detract from his reward in the world to come. He prayed again, and the stone was miraculously taken back.
It is reported that once he was confronted by lions while traveling. He prayed, and two cuts of meat miraculously descended from heaven. The lions ate one, allowing him to escape. He took the second cut to the beit midrash, where it was ruled kosher to eat.
He was known as the "researcher of matters", and would perform various experiments to understand nature better. He once performed an experiment to determine the social patterns of ants, but a later rabbi, Rav Aha b. Rava, criticized its methodology.
He is said to be buried in the old cemetery in Tzfat.
Teachings
He is known for his aggadic teachings, particularly those regarding the value of peace.
Quotes
The Holy One - blessed be He - found no better vessel in which to hold blessing for Israel than peace.
Great is peace, for when the Holy One - blessed be He - created His world, He made peace between the upper and the lower world... On the second day He created from the upper world... on the third day He created from the lower world... on the fourth day from the upper world... on the fifth day from the lower world... On the sixth day He came to create man. He said: If I create him from the upper world, the upper world will have one more creation than the lower world; if I create him from the lower world, the lower world will have one more creation than the upper world. What did He do? He created him from the upper world and the lower world. As it says: "The Lord God fashioned man dust from the earth" - from the lower world; "and blew in his nose the breath of life" - from the upper world.

USNS Henry J. Kaiser (T-AO-187) is a United States Navy fleet replenishment oiler and the lead ship of her class. Her mission is to resupply U.S. Navy and allied ships at sea with fuel oil, jet fuel, lubricating oil, potable water, and dry and refrigerated goods, including food and mail.
Construction and characteristics
In November 1983, Avondale Shipyard, Inc. was awarded a firm contract for the construction of two fleet replenishment oilers with options for two more. The first of these, Henry J. Kaiser, was the lead ship of her class. The contract price for the first two ships, was $239.1 million. Henry J. Kaiser was laid down at Avondale's shipyard in Bridge City, Louisiana, on 22 August 1984 and launched on 5 October 1985. She was christened by Janet Small, wife of Admiral William N. Small. Speakers at her launch ceremony included Senator Jennings Randolph, U.S. Representative Lindy Boggs, and Admiral Small. She entered non-commissioned U.S. Navy service with the Military Sealift Command on 19 December 1986. This was approximately three months later than planned because of reduction gear and other issues with her construction.
The ship's hull and superstructure is constructed of welded steel plates. She has just a single hull, not the double-hull construction that is required as an antipollution safeguard in more modern tankers. She is long, with a beam of and a maximum draft of . She displaces 14,766 tons when empty, and 40,900 tons when fully loaded. Her construction complies with American Bureau of Shipping rules and is periodically inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Her 18 cargo tanks can hold 180,000 barrels of fuel. Her cargo can be either marine diesel fuel for ships or JP-5 jet fuel for aircraft, or some combination of the two. She has separate pumping systems for the different commodities. She has eight per minute pumps to replenish her clients, five devoted to diesel fuel, and three for JP-5. Thus, during underway replenishment she can pump up to 900,000 gallons of diesel oil and 540,000 gallons of JP-5 per hour. Her dry goods and refrigerated storage is modest, and there is no provision for the ship to carry ammunition. Her total cargo capacity is 27,617 deadweight tons.
The ship can cruise at . She has two controllable-pitch propellers, in diameter. Each propeller is driven by a 16,270 brake horsepower Diesel engine. These main propulsion engines are 10-cylinder Colt-Pielstick PC4.2 V 570. Electrical power on the ship is provided by five generators. Two ship service generators are Caterpillar 3608 IL8 Diesels, which generate 2,500 kW each. Two generators use power take-offs from the main propulsion engines and are also capable of 2,500 kW each. Finally, there is a 500 kW emergency generator located away from the main and auxiliary machine rooms.
She has two seawater distillation plants capable of producing of potable water per day.
The ship is unarmed in peacetime operations. She does, however, have a mount for a Phalanx CIWS gun and carries the SLQ-25 Nixie torpedo decoy.
Henry J. Kaiser has five refueling stations, three on her starboard side and two on her port side, that allow her to pump fuel oil and/or jet fuel to ships on either side, or both sides simultaneously. When fueling, the ship extends hoses to the receiving ship, supported by a connecting span wire. While the ship has five refueling stations, she has sufficient crew to operate only three of them at a time in order to save money. She also has two masts, one on each side of the ship, for the transfer of dry goods. Similar to refueling operations, span wires are kept under constant tension between these masts and receiving ships to form a trolley system, enabling the crew to deliver pallets of dry goods. This underway replenishment technology is referred to as the "standard tension replenishment alongside method". This configuration of replenishment at sea where the two ships are physically connected is referred to as connected replenishment, or "conrep".
She has a helipad on her stern, but no hangar or other facilities to support her own aircraft. Its purpose is to allow helicopters to resupply ships, which the Navy refers to as vertical replenishment, or "vertrep".
The ship is operated by Military Sealift Command. Henry J. Kaiser has a unionized, civilian crew of U.S. Coast Guard-licensed mariners. A military detachment of active-duty Navy personnel, including communications and supply people, also serves on the ship. She has accommodations for 23 officers, 24 noncommissioned officers, and 79 enlisted personnel.
The ship is named for Henry J. Kaiser (1882–1967), an American industrialist and shipbuilder.
Service history
Following delivery, the Henry J. Kaiser operated out of Norfolk, Virginia, as part of the Second Fleet.
During 1988 and 1989 she completed 301 ship refuelings during a 14-month deployment in the Mediterranean in support of Sixth Fleet ships. Shortly after this deployment, during a NATO exercise in September 1989, she damaged a ballast tank off the west coast of England, perhaps by scraping a rock in a channel. Her captain was relieved.
On 1 July 1990 she left Norfolk for what was expected to be a six-month deployment. She was gone for more than nine months supporting Navy ships off the coast of Africa during the evacuation of Liberia, and in the Mediterranean. She completed 146 replenishments on this deployment.
Henry J. Kaiser was in the Red Sea in 1994 when the Egyptian ferry Al-Qamar Al-Saudi Al-Misri caught fire with approximately 580 people aboard. The ship participated in the rescue efforts and brought 270 survivors to port at Hurghada.
In January 1995, she was forward deployed to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean as part of Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron Two. In this role she was used as a jet fuel tanker.
In March 1997 Henry J. Kaiser participated in Tandem Thrust 97, a joint U.S.Australian exercise. The Navy reported that refueling at sea, rather than making port calls in Australia, saved $1.5 million.
In 2000 she was prepositioned in the Mediterranean. In 2002, she was transferred to the Third Fleet and placed in reduced operating status in Portland, Oregon. She was activated briefly in 2003 when two other oilers were simultaneously undergoing planned maintenance. In 2005, she was re-activated to full service as part of the Third Fleet, where she remains to this day.
In 2009 the ship participated in underway replenishment training with Third Fleet carrier strike groups and amphibious ready groups.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2011, the ship supported Fifth Fleet units in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman.
Henry J. Kaiser participated in the biennial RIMPAC exercise in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. In 2012, Henry J. Kaiser delivered 900,000 gallons of a 50–50 blend of advanced biofuels and traditional petroleum-based fuel to the USS Nimitz strike group. The fuel delivery was part of the Navy's Great Green Fleet demonstration, which allowed the Navy to test, evaluate, and demonstrate the utility of advanced biofuels in an operational setting. This achieved one of the five energy goals established by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. During the 15 days of RIMPAC 2020 the ship conducted 39 underway replenishments, transferring almost 4 million gallons of diesel oil, 65,000 gallons of JP-5 jet fuel, and 183 pallets of food and other dry goods.
The ship provided support to ships participating in Operation Dawn Blitz, in 2013 and 2015.
Henry J. Kaiser took part in exercise Fortune Guard in August 2014, off the coast of Hawaii, with Japanese, Korean, and U.S. Coast Guard vessels. In this exercise, the ship was the "suspect vessel", supposedly carrying weapons of mass destruction, to train other units on boarding techniques.
In 2016 and 2018 the ship participated in the Pacific Partnership exercise, training with other US and allied navy ships to improve multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness.
In 2019, Henry J. Kaiser supported the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group in exercise Northern Edge, the first time a U.S. aircraft carrier had been in Alaskan waters for a decade.
The ship has participated in several Composite Unit Training exercises, preparing carrier strike groups and amphibious ready groups for overseas deployments. In July 2013 she supported the USS Boxer group. In 2015 Henry J. Kaiser trained with the USS John C. Stennis strike group. In 2017, she trained with the USS America group and the USS Theodore Roosevelt group. In July 2020 she played this role with the USS Nimitz group.

William Edward Collinson (4 January 1889 – 4 May 1969) was a British linguist and, from 1914 to 1954, Chair of German at the University of Liverpool. Like Edward Sapir and Otto Jespersen, he collaborated with Alice Vanderbilt Morris to develop the research program of the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA). From 1936 to 1939, he was Research Director of IALA. Under Collinson's guidance, methods of compiling international word material were tested at Liverpool. In 1939 IALA moved from Liverpool to New York and E. Clark Stillman succeeded Collinson as Research Director. Alexander Gode, editor of the first English-Interlingua dictionary published in 1951, remained in contact with Collinson which had collected much of linguistic material in the University of Liverpool.
Collinson wrote a popularization book in Esperanto about linguistics : La Homa Lingvo ("The Human Language") in 1927. He was also a collaborator of Centro por Esploro kaj Dokumentado and Internacia Scienca Universitato where he gave 7 lectures. He was chairman of Internacia Scienca Asocio Esperantista 1959-1965 and a longtime member of the Akademio de Esperanto.
He was the joint author of The German Language (with R. Priebsch) first published in 1934; fifth edition Faber & Faber, 1962.

Thielaviopsis basicola is the plant-pathogen fungus responsible for black root rot disease. This particular disease has a large host range, affecting woody ornamentals, herbaceous ornamentals, agronomic crops, and even vegetable crops. Examples of susceptible hosts include petunia, pansy, poinsettia, tobacco, cotton, carrot, lettuce, tomato, and others. Symptoms of this disease resemble nutrient deficiency but are truly a result of the decaying root systems of plants. Common symptoms include chlorotic lower foliage, yellowing of plant, stunting or wilting, and black lesions along the roots. The lesions along the roots may appear red at first, getting darker and turning black as the disease progresses. Black root lesions that begin in the middle of a root can also spread further along the roots in either direction. Due to the nature of the pathogen, the disease can easily be identified by the black lesions along the roots, especially when compared to healthy roots. The black lesions that appear along the roots are a result of the formation of chlamydospores, resting spores of the fungus that contribute to its pathogenicity. The chlamydospores are a dark brown-black color and cause the "discoloration" of the roots when they are produced in large amounts.
Environment
As a poor saprophyte and obligate parasite, T. basicola is often dependent upon favorable environmental conditions. Although the pathogen is able to grow in a variety of soil moistures, wet soil is optimal for greater infection since spores are able to move easily in water. Water plays a role in dispersal of spores and can lead to an increased infection rate. Soil temperatures also play an important role, as temperatures between 55-65°F are favorable for the pathogen. However, temperatures that are higher than 86°F are unfavorable for the fungus and only traces of the pathogen can be found. At lower temperatures, the severity of the disease increases since the temperatures become unfavorable for and induces stress on the hosts. Alkaline clay soils have proven to be conducive to pathogenicity and also favor the pathogen. This can be attributed to the fact that the pathogen is suppressed at soils with pH less than 5.2, so increasing pH is favorable for severity of disease. There are also cultural conditions which may induce stress on the host plants that favor the pathogen including high soluble salts, excessive nitrogen fertilizer, low organic matter, etc. When the plant undergoes stress due to cultural conditions, there is an increase in susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens such as T. basicola. For this reason, it is important to practice proper cultural conditions such as maintaining proper temperatures, amount of nitrogen fertilizer, and pH of the soil to reduce stress of host plants and decrease susceptibility to disease.
Pathogenesis
Thielaviopsis basicola is a soilborne fungus that belongs to the Ascomycota division of the "true fungi" and is a hemibiotrophic parasite. Fungi belonging to Ascomycota are known to produce asexual and sexual spores, however, a sexual stage has yet to be observed and validated in the Thielaviopsis basicola life cycle, which classifies this species as one of the Deuteromycete or an imperfect fungus. During the asexual reproductive cycle of Thielaviopsis basicola, two types of asexual spores are borne from the hyphae including endoconidia and chlamydospores. Endoconidia are a distinctive type of conidium in that they develop within a hollow cavity inside a hyphal tube and are ejected from the end of this tube to disperse. Both of the aforementioned spores must first undergo physical dissemination in order to begin locating an infection court on a new, viable host. Aside from the normal translocation of spores within the soil environment, vectors such as shore flies have been observed carrying and aerially transmitting Thielaviopsis basicola spores, a phenomenon uncharacteristic of soilborne fungal pathogens. Upon landing on an infected plant, the shore flies feed on the infected tissue and ingest spores along with the plant material, only to excrete the hitchhiking spores in their frass, which ultimately lands on healthy plant tissue continuing the disease cycle. However, it is important to note that this association between vector and soilborne fungi has only been observed in commercial agricultural settings in which artificially controlled environments (i.e. greenhouses) promote conditions that deviate from the natural world.
Following dispersal (via vector-insect, cultural practice, or other translocation means within the soil matrix), the spores will detect an infection site on the host plant (usually root hairs) and germinate in response to the stimuli produced by the root exudates, some of which include sugars, lecithins, and unsaturated triglycerides. Germ tubes emerge from the spores and directly penetrate into the cells of the root hairs (typically the single-cell epidermal layer) via penetration hyphae. The living host plant will typically respond with the development of cell appositions called papillae, which attempt to block the pathogen from penetrating the cell wall and subsequently parasitizing the host's cells. However, most of these early defense mechanisms prove unsuccessful, hence the significance and prevalence of the disease around the world. Advancing, the vegetative hyphal cells differentiate into feeding structures that resemble haustoria, which absorb nutrients biotrophically from the host cells. Once the pathogen has breached the cell wall of the epidermal root cell, it proceeds to release effector compounds that disrupt the host's systemic defense mechanisms. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is employed by the host to actively address localized infection and initiate defense signaling cascades throughout the plant. For example, the SAR NPR1 (AtNPR1) gene is of special importance and acts to suppress the infection faculties of Thielaviopsis basicola, effectively imparting resistance to some host plants. Furthermore, research suggests that the NPR1 gene, when over-expressed in transgenic plants, aids in the expression of other defense-related genes such as PR1, effectively improving resistance to infection by Thielaviopsis basicola. NPR1 and its associated benefits for enhancing disease resistance have been recognized as possible tools to use when equipping economically indispensable crops with transgenic resistance to disease.
Once penetration and the establishment of biotrophic feeding structures are successful, the pathogen progresses into the root tissue leaving distinctive black/brown lesions in its wake (lesion coloration can be attributed to thick-walled chlamydospore clusters); it continues proliferating until eventually entering its necrotrophic stage. Hemibiotrophs, like Thielaviopsis basicola, transition from a biotrophic stage to a necrotrophic stage by way of a coordinated effort between different pathogenesis genes that secrete effector proteins capable of manipulating their host's defense system. Research suggests that during biotrophy, certain types of effectors from the pathogen are expressed over others and vice versa during the necrotrophic stage. Once the biotrophic stage is no longer preferred by the pathogen, it will initiate this complicated genetic transition and commence the necrotrophic stage. In order to digest and metabolize nutritive compounds from a necrotic host plant, Thielaviopsis basicola secretes enzymes such as xylanase and other hemicellulases, which break down cell tissues making them available to the fungus. During this stage, the pathogen also produces its asexual spores in the lesions to reproduce and disseminate more propagules for continued survival in the soil. In addition to its normal infection process, studies have shown that Thielaviopsis basicola and it's pathogenesis are synergistically linked to a fortuitous coinfection process involving Meloidogyne incognita nematodes when the two are present in the same soil. It has been observed that the infection of host tissues by Meloidogyne incognita facilitates the infection of Thielaviopsis basicola into the root and vascular tissues, effectively allowing the fungal pathogen to optimize infection even when environmental conditions are suboptimal.
Importance
Thielaviopsis basicola was discovered in the mid-1800s and has remained an important plant pathogen affecting ornamental and agricultural plants in over 31 countries around the world. The pathogen is known to stunt or delay maturity in the species it parasitizes, which, coupled with environmental limitations, can lead to severe economic losses. It has been observed that black root rot can delay plant maturity for up to a month and result in over a 40% yield reduction in the affected crop. One crop that is affected by Thielaviopsis basicola and that is of significant economic importance is cotton. In the United States alone, between the years 1995 and 2005, the total annual loss in revenue due to diseases in the cotton crop was $897 million. Thielaviopsis basicola was a significant contributor to that economic loss. In other parts of the world, such as in major cotton producer Australia, Thielaviopsis basicola has a very severe economic impact as well. In Australia, the disease was initially observed in sweet peas in the 1930s. However, black root rot spread to a range of cultivated hosts, especially into Australian cotton production. In fact, surveys taken in 2010 and 2011 of Australian agriculture statistics reported black root rot to be present in 93% of farms and 83% of fields studied. Of the fields affected, yield losses have reached 1.5 bales per acre. The national average of cotton production per hectare in Australia is about 10 bales, so a loss of 1.5 bales per acre (or roughly 3 bales per hectare) to black root rot adds up to a significant loss. In addition to cotton, carrot, lupin, cabbage, clover, and tobacco are all crops cultivated in many different countries that suffer from black root rot. Some important ornamental crops affected by black root rot include: Begonia sp., poinsettia, African daisy, pansy, marigold, and petunia; the list is quite extensive. However, cultural practices have led to the eradication of this disease in many ornamental crops, including poinsettia. During the 1950s and 1960s, poinsettia production was ravaged by black root rot disease. Despite faltering, once the use of soil mixes was traded for soilless alternatives throughout the floriculture industry, black root rot was no longer a threat to poinsettias. Thielaviopsis basicola (black root rot) has been and will remain a significant threat to crops grown globally in both agricultural and horticultural systems.
Disease cycle
Thielaviopsis basicola is a soil inhabiting disease. The pathogen typically colonizes root tissue in the first two to eight weeks of crop growth. This causes cortical cell death which gives a brown to blackened appearance in the roots. The death of root cells also reduces development of new tissue in both roots and shoots. Once the fungus has successfully infected, it grows vegetatively via hyphae and produces the two types of spores. In this particular situation, state means imperfect form of the fungi. The "chalara state produces endospores (conidia) and the Thielavopsis produces aleuriospores (chlamydospores). Chlamydospores survive in soil for many years". During wet and cool soil the spores will germinate. It is most "severe from 55° to 61°F, while only a trace of disease develops at 86°F. Alkaline soil favors the disease, which can be prevented at pH 4.8 and greatly reduced at pH 5.5 or below". The fungus can "spread via vectors including- fungus gnats and shore flies, from infected roots to healthy roots if they come into contact with each other and when spores (conidia) are splashed from pot to pot when watered".
Management
Cultural Practices and Mechanical Measures
The first and foremost strategy for controlling T. basicola at the first sign of disease should be cultural control including- "maintaining a soil pH below 5.6, removing and destroying all diseased plants, using soil-less media, sterilizing equipment, keeping work areas clean, and controlling fungus gnats and shore flies. Fungus gnats and shore flies can be vectors; therefore, controlling these pests can lead to minimizing the spread of the fungus". In addition, "crop rotation is recommended for management of black root rot. Soil fumigants, such as chloropicrin, can be helpful for controlling seedbed and sterol inhibitors". Furthermore, "to avoid contamination of plants and potting media, greenhouse floors and walkways should be lightly misted with water to cut down on airborne dust transmission of T. basicola during cleaning operations". At the end of the "growing season, doing a thorough clean-up of the greenhouse can be beneficial because it reduces the possibility of the fungus surviving as a resistant chlamydospores on the soil floor and in wooden benches".
Disease Resistance
Disease resistance can be naturally coded in the genome of the host itself and induced via natural or artificial means, artificially introduced via a number of transgenic or breeding measures, and/or mutually associated with beneficial microbes found within soil ecosystems. Most, if not all, vascular plants utilize a system of defense, which consists of PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Following localized infection and the influx of associated pathogen stimulants, the aforementioned immune system responses trigger systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which sets off a cascade of defense signaling throughout the plant to initiate defense strategies at distal locations targeted to attack any recognized foreign pathogens. However, even with these innate lines of defense, the pathogen often prevails. This calls for selective breeding, genetic manipulation, or other novel biological control methods. Assessing varieties/cultivars for disease resistance and breeding for selected resistance traits is an important management method utilized by growers and breeders in the fight against Thielaviopsis basicola. Commercially available resistant species of plants, include select varieties of Japanese holly (among other species of holly) and woody plants such as boxwood and barberry. However, in some important crops like cotton, no commercially viable cultivars have been bred with sufficient resistance against black root rot. Interestingly, in Australia, researchers have identified diploid cotton species displaying marked resistance against black root rot, yet cross-breeding these traits into viable commercial crops has proven to be difficult. Similarly, researchers in Poland have uncovered innate disease resistance in the germplasm of a wild-type relative of Nicotiana tabacum called Nicotiana glauca. Moreover, disease resistance genes derived from Nicotiana debneyi (a relative of the previously mentioned tobacco species) have successfully been incorporated into tobacco varieties displaying resilience to multiple races of Thielaviopsis basicola. That being said, selective variety breeding is not the only source of resistance to black root rot in modern plant pathology. Transgenic methods of disease management offer promising new avenues scientists can take to aid in adapting plants to increasingly virulent pathogens. One such mechanism includes the manipulation of the expression of the NPR1 gene in the host plant defense genome sequences. By over-expressing NPR1 genes transgenically in host plants such as cotton, scientists were able to increase the induction of PR genes like PR1 and LIPOXYGENASE1, which led to enhanced resistance by improving yield and limiting stunting. In addition to genetic tools, inventive plant pathologists are exploring other novel methods of control, which include beneficial microbes and biological control agents (BCAs), among many others. Symbiotic associations between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots are well-documented, yet scientists studying host-plant defense have discovered this association may be more arcane than previously thought. Some researchers suggest this association extends to the realm of disease resistance and defense. This phenomenon was analyzed in research conducted by German scientists who studied the transcript expression of defense related genes in Petunia hybrida when they were exposed to Thielaviopsis basicola and also colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks in their rhizosphere. They found that the arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis functioned as a first line of defense by antagonizing the pathogenic fungus before it could ever induce a defense response in the host itself. Thus, it is not inconceivable that control measures involving biotic compliments, such as AM, may be used in the future to control for disease presence in agricultural fields without the use of deleterious chemicals and/or genetic meddling.

Golina () is a town in Konin County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in central Poland, with 4,366 inhabitants (2004). It is located west from Konin.
History
The town was mentioned in the Gesta principum Polonorum, the oldest Polish chronicle from the early 12th century. It was granted town rights in the 14th century. It was a private town, administratively located in the Konin County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In 1793 Golina was annexed by Prussia as a result of the Second Partition of Poland. Regained by Poles in 1807, as part of the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, in 1815 it became part of Congress Poland, later forcibly integrated with Imperial Russia. During the January Uprising, on March 16, 1863, a skirmish between Polish insurgents and Russian soldiers took place there. The Polish insurgent unit was attacked by Russian troops and forced to escape towards Lądek. As part of anti-Polish repressions after the fall of the uprising, Golina was deprived of its town rights in 1870, which it regained in 1921, after Poland regained independence. During the occupation of Poland (World War II) the Germans expelled most of its populace to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.

Wang Danfeng (; 23 August 1924 – 2 May 2018) was a Chinese actress who was active mainly between the 1940s and the 1960s. She was one of the most influential actresses in Chinese cinema, and was named as one of the four great actresses in Hong Kong in 1949. She received the official recognition as a "movie star of New China" in 1962 and two Lifetime Achievement Awards in 2013 and 2017. Over a career spanning more than four decades, she starred in more than 60 films.
Career
Republican era
Wang was born on 23 August 1924 in Shanghai. Her birth name was Wang Yufeng (). When she was a 16-year-old middle school student, she was discovered by the director, Zhu Shilin, and debuted in a supporting role in the 1941 film The Dragon Dungeon and Tiger's Den. Zhu then cast her as the leading actress in his 1942 film New Fisherman's Song, a remake of the silent classic, Song of the Fishermen, starring Wang Renmei. It was a great box-office success and launched Wang Danfeng to stardom.
She appeared in two dozen films in the 1940s, and her typical roles were abused or persecuted women. One of her favourite roles was Xue Baochai in the 1944 film Dream of the Red Chamber, in which she co-starred with her idol, Zhou Xuan, and worked under the famous director Bu Wancang. The film greatly enhanced her self-esteem.
In 1948, during the Chinese Civil War, Wang moved to British Hong Kong at the invitation of the Great Wall Movie Enterprises and starred in six films with the studio. In July 1949, she was named by Hong Kong media as one of the four great actresses, together with Li Li-hua, Zhou Xuan, and Bai Guang.
People's Republic of China
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, she returned to Shanghai in 1951 to marry her long-time fiancé, Liu Heqing (柳和清). Their wedding was a media sensation in Shanghai and Hong Kong. In 1952, the Communist government reorganized film companies in Shanghai into the state-owned Shanghai Film Studio, and Wang acted in ten films for the studio before the Cultural Revolution. One of her most celebrated roles was the young nurse in A Nurse's Diary. The scene of her humming the song, "The Little Swallow", to put a baby to sleep is widely remembered decades later. Roman Tam, the iconic Cantopop singer who called Wang his idol, said he watched the film three times and memorized the song.
In 1963, she portrayed the patriotic courtesan Li Xiangjun in the film, The Peach Blossom Fan, which was directed by Sun Jing. It was soon denounced as a tribute to the "feudal" scholar and beauty genre, and Wang, Sun, and the lead actor Feng Zhe were all persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. She was sent to perform hard labour in the countryside, and was prevented from acting for 15 years. She survived the tumultuous period largely unscathed, however, partly because the film was not labelled a "giant poisonous weed".
After the end of the Cultural Revolution, she made a comeback attempt and appeared in several films from 1978 to 1980, but they were mostly unsuccessful. She retired in 1980, after portraying a Japanese scientist in her last film, The Jade-Colored Butterfly. She was invited to, and attended, the second inauguration of U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1985.
In 2013, the China Film Performance Art Academy awarded Wang the Golden Phoenix Lifetime Achievement Award. In June 2017, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival. She was described as a "legendary" actress and "film icon" in official Chinese media.
Personal life
Wang had a lifelong marriage with Liu Heqing, who was the son of Liu Zhongliang (柳中亮), a co-founder of Shanghai's Cathay Film Company. They wedded on New Year's Day of 1951 and the marriage lasted for more than 65 years, until Liu's death on 4 February 2016 at age 90. They had four daughters.
Wang and her husband moved to Hong Kong in the late 1980s and opened the vegetarian restaurant, Gong De Lin (also known as Godly). After they turned 80, they sold the successful business and returned to Shanghai.
Death
On the morning of 2 May 2018, Wang died at Huadong Hospital in Shanghai, aged 93 (94 by East Asian age reckoning).

Viaphacops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae, that lived during the Middle Devonian, and is known from North and South America (Bolivia, Floresta Formation, Altiplano Cundiboyacense, Colombia, and Venezuela), Asia (Central Kazakhstan and Far Eastern Russia).
Description
Like in all sighted Phacopina, the eyes of Viaphacops are compounded of very large, separately set lenses without a common cornea (so called schizochroal eyes), and like almost all other Phacopina, the articulate mid-length part of the body (or thorax) in Viaphacops has 11 segments, the side lobes (or pleurae) are furrowed, and the articulating facets distinct.
The natural fracture lines (sutures) of the head run along the top edges of the compound eye. From the back of the eye these cut to the side of the head (proparian) and not to the back. In front of the eye, the right and left facial sutures connect in front of the inflated glabella and consequently the free cheeks (or librigenae) are yoked as a single piece. The part of the skeleton that is "tucked under" (the doublure) has no sutures crossing it to form a rostral plate. The tailshield (or pygidium) is always smaller than the headshield (or cephalon), a situation called micropygous.
In the Phacopidae a merger of the anterior and the two pairs of neighbouring lobes of the glabella forms a frontal lobe that expands forward and can be inflated and overhanging the frontal border. To the back of the glabella two furrows (or sometimes one) cross the glabella forming two rings ("intercalating/pre-occipital ring" and "occipital ring"). The cephalon does not end in genal spines. The side lobes of the thorax (or pleurae, singular pleura) have rounded ends. The pygidium is well rounded, semicircular or shorter, with an entire margin, and without lateral and posterior projections. In many Phacopidae, where the facial sutures are apparently continuous and well developed, they were evidently nonfunctional in ecdysis, since no separate free cheeks can be found.
Viaphacops is distinguished from related genera because the preoccipital furrow is merged with occipital furrow to form a deep broad furrow thus having obliterated the intercalating ring. The occipital ring itself is usually narrow. The vincular furrow, a trough in the cephalic doublure (ventral side of the border of the head) is deep, with a prominent inner border. The eyes are mostly moderate in size, but sometimes large. The tailshield is usually wide and weakly segmented. The surface of the glabella has fairly large tubercles.

Popular Science (1935–1949) is a series of short films, produced by Jerry Fairbanks and released by Paramount Pictures.
The Popular Science film series is a Hollywood entertainment production – the only attempt by the movie industry to chronicle the progress of science, industry and popular culture during the first half of the 20th century.
The series, filmed in Magnacolor, was the first to profile: father of television Philo T. Farnsworth (1939), Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural school (1942), building Hoover Dam (1935), building the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge (1936), Academy Award-nominated Moon Rockets (1947), the Electron Microscope (1942), Jet Aircraft (1946), the birth of Plastic Surgery (1937), Telephone Answering Machine (1936), Fuel from Corn Cobs (1949), Rust Heinz and his Phantom Corsair car (1938), world's first full-scale (whole body) X-ray technique (1936), the "Mechanical Brain" Computer at UCLA (1948), Contact Lenses (1936), the Northrop "Flying Wing" (1948). The series also promoted Paramount with a tour (1938) of the then-new Fleischer Studios facility in Miami, Florida, which produced animated cartoons for Paramount.
The series was created by independent Hollywood film producer Jerry Fairbanks in May 1935. Produced with the cooperation of the editors of Popular Science magazine, the series introduced its audience to advances in medicine, aviation, science and technology, television, home improvement, planes, trains and automobiles, as well as an assortment of strange and whimsical inventions.
During its 14-year theatrical run, the Popular Science film series was honored with numerous awards and acclaim, including 5 Academy Award nominations. The Popular Science series also received a Special Commendation from the US Department of War in 1943 for its unparalleled coverage of American military technology involved World War II.
This film series has been a staple on television for decades, most recently shown on the American Movie Classics cable network, hosted by Nick Clooney and Bob Dorian. The series, as well as the rest of the Jerry Fairbanks film library, is owned by Shields Pictures, which released a DVD in 2008 of some of the original Popular Science sequences.

Christ at the Column is a life-size sculpture by the Spanish artist Gregorio Fernández.
Gregorio Fernández was commissioned by the Illustrious Penitential Brotherhood of the Holy Cross, to undertake a “paso”, a group of wooden statues, depicting the flagellation of Christ. The sculpture of the Christ started as a figure for this composition and was in the mid 17th century when the sculpture was presented as a separate and independent work.
The sculpture is characterized by combining classical form and naturalism with the intensity of religious emotion.

The Citroën ZX is a small family car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1991 and 1998.
At the beginning of the 1990s, the ZX was Citroën's entry in the class traditionally dominated in Europe by the Ford Escort and Vauxhall/Opel Astra, a market segment Citroën had briefly abandoned with the demise of the GSA in 1986.
The BX had tried to address the small family car market and the large family car market by being "between sizes" but well packaged. For 1993, the Citroën ZX chassis was also used for the Peugeot 306 which, with its attractive Peugeot 205 derived styling, was an even more successful car than its twin. The Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner were also built on the front half of the same platform, the rear coming from the 405, an arrangement shared underneath the Xsara Picasso.
It was replaced by the Xsara in September 1997, but production in Europe continued until 1998.
China
The ZX was the first Citroën built in China. A saloon derivative, called the Citroën Elysée, along with the China-based ZX known as the Fukang, continued to be produced for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, a joint venture with the Dongfeng Motor Corporation.
Model History
The Citroën GS had been a ground breaking and radical new model in the small family car market on its launch in 1970, scooping the European Car of the Year award, and was facelifted in 1979 and gained a hatchback which saw it transformed into the GSA.
However, such was the success of the larger BX after its 1982 launch, that PSA decided to delay the launch of an immediate replacement for the GSA when it was finally discontinued in 1986. Development work began on a new C segment hatchback, which was originally expected to be launched as the Citroën FX at the beginning of the 1990s.
Although the Rally Raid version of the ZX debuted during 1990, the ZX was officially launched on the left hand drive continental markets on 16 March 1991, with British sales beginning in May that year, initially only with petrol engines. The diesel ZX went on sale later in 1991. The ZX was helped at the time of introduction by having reached the market a few months before the new version of the Opel/Vauxhall Astra.
The sales target was about 230,000 vehicles per year, with half of that number going outside of France.
It went on sale in New Zealand in the beginning of 1993, as a five door in 1.6 Aura or Turbodiesel trim, with the naturally aspirated diesel and Volcane GTi (1.9) models joining a few weeks later. New Zealand's unleaded petrol was of a low octane rating, meaning that initially only uncatalyzed cars were on offer.
In January 1994, the estate of the ZX debuted, and went on sale in May, shortly thereafter followed by a mid-cycle facelift.
The first examples of the ZX had been produced in 1990, with the three door Rally Raid model being the winner of the Paris-Dakar, which started just after Christmas. The first prototypes of the ZX had actually debuted at the Baja Aragon on 20 July 1990. Drag resistance ranged from Cds 0.30 to 0.33.
The launch of the ZX marked the return of Citroën into the C sector of the car market; it had discontinued the GSA in 1986 with no immediate replacement, largely due to the success of the larger BX. However, Citroën had decided to phase out the BX between 1990 and 1993, by at first launching a smaller model, and then adding a larger model (the Xantia) to its range.
The ZX's interior space and value received praise from critics and consumers. Of particular note was the rear seat arrangement; it was mounted on a sliding platform that allowed the seat to be moved rearwards to increase rear legroom, or forwards to increase cargo space. Unfortunately, only the seat backs folded down on models so fitted. Lower specification models with fully folding and removable seats had more ultimate capacity. The ZX specification was good for its class, with most models getting power steering, electric windows, electric sunroof, a driver's side (and sometimes passenger's side) airbag and anti-lock braking system as either optional or standard equipment. It was competitively priced though, unlike the Mark III Volkswagen Golf, which was priced at a relative premium from its launch later in August 1991.
The familiar range of PSA powertrains drove the front wheels of a seemingly conventionally designed chassis. At the front was a standard MacPherson strut layout with anti-roll bar, while the rear used the PSA Peugeot-Citroën fully independent trailing arm/torsion bar set up that was first introduced on the estate of the Peugeot 305.
However, PSA's chassis engineers employed some unusual features, including passive rear-wheel steering (by means of specially designed compliance bushes in the rear suspension), and in house developed and constructed shock absorbers. At high mileages, this is prone to wear off the axle mounting bushes, which is easily fixed.
It is also prone to wear in the rear axle trailing arm bearings, which then wear the trailing arm axle tubes, requiring an expensive rebuild or a replacement axle assembly. The diesel and larger capacity petrol engines are canted as far back as possible in the engine bay, in an effort to put as much weight as possible behind the front axle line, also reducing the centre of gravity, while improving weight distribution and minimising understeer.
Models
At the time of its launch, the ZX range consisted of a collection of four very individual trim levels; the base model was the "Reflex" aimed at young people, next was the "Avantage" aimed at families, and then there was the luxury "Aura" series. The final series was the relatively sporting "Volcane" series, with lowered (and hard) suspension. The "Volcane" TD was one of the first diesel hot hatches.
Over time, further models were introduced including the "Furio", a cheaper sports model, a 16 valve engined high performance derivative and many special editions.
The ZX was initially available as a three or five door hatchback, while a five-door estate was added to the range in 1994. It was offered with petrol engines from 1.1 L to 2.0 L, as well as three 1.9 L diesel engines including a turbodiesel. However, the 1.1 petrol engine was never sold in Britain.
Sales and production
Motorsport
The car won the Paris-Dakar Rally four times — in 1991 with Ari Vatanen and in 1994, 1995, 1996 with Pierre Lartigue, claiming a total 59 stage wins.
It also won five FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies titles, four by Pierre Lartigue between 1993-1996 and one by Ari Vatanen in 1997.
In terms of rallycross, the ZX 16V Turbo in the hands of Kenneth Hansen (rallycross) took two FIA European Rallycross Championship titles. 1994 and 1996.
The ZX Kit Car, a front-wheel-drive naturally aspirated rally car built to the F2 rules, won the 1997 Spanish rally championship thanks to Jesús Puras.

Tanner Ainge (born December 15, 1983) is an American businessman and politician who formerly served as a Utah County Commissioner. Ainge is the founder and managing partner of Banner Ventures and the chief executive officer of Banner Acquisition Corp. Currently, Ainge serves on the governor’s economic development board and has been actively involved in Utah politics. Ainge is also a member of the Utah Army National Guard. He ran an unsuccessful primary race for the U.S. House 3rd Congressional District of Utah against former Provo mayor John Curtis in 2017, but he won the Utah County Commissioner election the following year.
Personal life and early career
Ainge was born December 15, 1983, to Michelle and Danny Ainge, a professional basketball and baseball player.
He attended Brigham Young University where he earned a BA in international studies, and later a juris doctor from Northwestern University School of Law. He is currently licensed with the Utah State Bar Association.
Prior to his political career, Ainge worked in private equity and law with national firms HGGC and Kirkland & Ellis and studied Mandarin while living in China. In 2020, Ainge joined the Utah Army National Guard as a JAG officer.
Ainge was a volunteer for Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential campaign for one year.
Ainge and his wife, Heidi, have five children, one of whom was born in Beijing. Their children attend Chinese immersion schools.
Political career
In 2017, a special election was held in the 3rd Congressional District of Utah for the U.S. House of Representatives to replace Jason Chaffetz, who resigned on June 30, 2017. Ainge received a quarter of the Republican primary votes, but placed third against Provo mayor John Curtis and Christopher Herrod. It was suggested by Republican operative, Chuck Warren, and others on Twitter, that Ainge's congressional race could have been negatively influenced by his father, the general manager of the Boston Celtics, convincing Gordon Hayward to leave the Utah Jazz as a free agent and sign with the Celtics.
In 2018, Utah commissioner Greg Graves was called to resign for sexual harassment allegations, but completed his term under tenuous circumstances. In the race for Graves’s seat, Ainge beat fellow Republican Tom Sakievich in the primary election and had no Democratic opposition in the general election. His main opponent was third-party candidate, Teri McCabe, whom he beat with 82% of the vote. In light of the Graves controversies, Ainge said he would run a campaign focused on restoring ethics and transparency to the county commission.
During his two years on the commission, Ainge worked towards balancing the county budget, preserving and creating new recreational areas in the county and enhancing the county’s standards of ethics and good governance. In 2021, Ainge was appointed by Utah governor Spencer J. Cox to serve on the Governor’s Economic Development Board.
