13168659 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor%20Jorgensen | Victor Jorgensen | Victor Jorgensen (July 8, 1913 – June 14, 1994) was a former Navy photo journalist who probably is most notable for taking an instantly iconic photograph of an impromptu scene in Manhattan on August 14, 1945, but from a different angle and in a less dramatic exposure than that of a photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Both photographs were of the same V-J Day embrace of a woman in a white dress by a sailor. Eisenstaedt's better known photograph, V-J Day in Times Square, was published in Life.
On the day after the images were taken by the two photographers, the one taken by Jorgensen was published in The New York Times. His photograph, which was taken while he was on duty, is retained in the National Archives and Records Administration.
Biography
Jorgensen was born in Portland, Oregon. He attended the University of Oregon and Reed College, graduating in 1936. He married Betty Price on June 17, 1935.
After college, he joined the staff of The Oregonian, working his way up from copy boy to night city editor. During his time at the newspaper, he became interested in photography and by the advent of World War II he was becoming a respected photographer.
In 1942, Jorgensen enlisted in the Navy and was one of six initial photographers recruited by Edward Steichen to join the Naval Aviation Photographic Unit during the war. He served aboard aircraft carriers USS Lexington in the Gilbert Islands (fall 1943); the USS Monterey in the Mariana Islands (1944); destroyer USS Albert W. Grant and shore duty in Borneo and the Philippines during Douglas MacArthur's return in 1944; and the hospital ship USS Solace off Okinawa, spring 1945.
While aboard the USS Monterey, he captured Navy pilots in the forward elevator well of the ship playing basketball during June 1944. One of the subjects, the jumper of the left, is Gerald Ford, who later became the president of the United States upon the resignation of Richard Nixon.
On V J Day, 1945, both Jorgensen and Eisenstaedt captured the image of a U.S. sailor grabbing a nurse for an impromptu kiss in the midst of Times Square celebrations. In a 2010 article, The New York Times described it as "a defining image of the American century, one that expressed the joy of a nation at its moment of greatest triumph."
In the post-war decade, Jorgensen and his wife traveled the world as a photographer researcher team, contributing to magazines including Fortune, Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Life, and Ladies Home Journal. Jorgensen served as president of the American Society of Media Photographers, working to establish minimum pay scales and fair practices for the photography industry.
Later life
After he left the Navy, Jorgensen settled in Maryland. He took over Chesapeake Skipper magazine, renaming it The Skipper and boosted its subscriptions from 1,500 to 50,000 by 1968. He and his wife moved to Portland at that time and started a boaters' consumer report newsletter. Jorgensen died of cancer in 1994 and was survived by his wife; two daughters; and two sisters.

13168710 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton%20Belt%20819 | Cotton Belt 819 | Cotton Belt 819 is a class "L-1" 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive and is also the official state locomotive of Arkansas. It was completed in 1943 and was the last engine built by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway, which was affectionately known as "The Cotton Belt Route" or simply "Cotton Belt". It was also the last locomotive built in Arkansas. It was restored to operating condition in 1986 and operated in excursion service until October 1993. As of 2023, the locomotive is now located at the Arkansas Railroad Museum, currently being cosmetically restored.
History
Background
The Cotton Belt initially purchased ten "Northern" 4-8-4s, Nos. 800–809, from the Baldwin Locomotive Works located at Eddystone, Pennsylvania in August and September of 1930 at a cost of $110,849 apiece. These new Cotton Belt 4-8-4 locomotives were classified as the L1s and intermingled with the Southern Pacific GS-1 class. Seven years later, the Cotton Belt built five more L1s, Nos. 810–814, from their own shops in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in 1937. Although similar to the ten Baldwin L1s, these new locomotives had many modern improvements such as Boxpok driving wheels, multiple-bearing crossheads, and Timken roller bearings.
In 1942, Cotton Belt officials petitioned the War Production Board for authorization to buy five new EMD FT diesel locomotives for their growing freight business. Work on the new L1 Northerns began on Tuesday June 2, 1942, but the delivery of the boilers from the Baldwin Locomotive Works lagged. The five new boilers were shipped by Baldwin to Pine Bluff between November 5 and December 12, 1942. The rail journey from Philadelphia to Pine Bluff took about five days for each boiler. Work by the Cotton Belt shop forces took an additional five or six weeks to complete each new locomotive.
On February 8, 1943, the last of these five L1 steam locomotives, No. 819, was placed in active service. It was the final locomotive constructed by the Cotton Belt's own staff of mechanical engineers, mechanical officers, foremen and workers in the company shops at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The cost to build was $143,607.00 and it was to be the last locomotive produced in Arkansas.
No. 819 traveled more than 804,000 miles during its 10.5 years of service, before being forced aside by the more modern diesel locomotives. On July 19, 1955, Cotton Belt's President H. J. McKenzie presented retired No. 819 to the City of Pine Bluff to show the Cotton Belt's gratitude for the part the city had played in their steam locomotive operations. McKenzie commented that this model engine is generally conceded to be one of the best designed and most attractive of its type ever built. He recalled how the engine had been built by local craftsmen, who were very proud of them, and he hoped that the people of Pine Bluff would be equally proud to display it in their public park.
Retirement
In order to raise money for the cost of moving and constructing a permanent display structure for the engine, the City of Pine Bluff sold "shares" in the locomotive to the school children in Jefferson County. Children were requested to "buy" Engine 819 by contributing one penny per pound (the engine & tender weigh 541,300 pounds) and were presented with cards signed by the mayor indicating the number of "shares" purchased. It had been estimated they needed to raise $4,000.00 for the concrete based, metal roofed, pipe framed shed surrounded by a concrete walkway and fence. The problem of getting the locomotive moved to the display was solved when Cotton Belt agreed to lend materials for a temporary spur to the park. Cotton Belt and Missouri Pacific employees contributed the labor in building the spur and moving the historic locomotive and tender.
However, just four years later, the Pine Bluff Commercial ran this note in the October 6, 1959 edition:
A Commercial newsman's inspection this week of the Cotton Belt locomotive permanently on display on a site between Oakland and Townsend Parks revealed the old steam engine has been neglected by the city. When the railroad donated the engine to the city it did so with the stipulation that the locomotive would receive proper care. Not only had the engine been allowed to deteriorate through rust, the effects of the weather in non-metal portions and acts of vandalism, but the grounds have been allowed to grow up around the fenced-in area so that visitors must trudge through weeds to get an up-close look at the locomotive.
It took most of a year to get 819's situation improved. It was decided to move the engine to a new location approximately 150 yards west of its old spot, near the front of the Reserve building. The Pine Bluff Jaycees spearheaded the drive to build a green and white steel shed at the new location, while the move and reconditioning was being coordinated by members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Cotton Belt employees. Several civic organizations talked of undertaking the project of restoring the engine to better condition, only to find out that such a project required technical know-how that only railmen possessed. That was when BRT stepped in and offered to assist with the engine.
"Before we're through," one of the men said "that old engine will look just like it did the day it rolled out of the shop she was built in. We hope to have her fixed where she'll be better taken care of, too."
During the move to her new location between Townsend and Oakland Parks, Engine 819 "broke loose" and coasted down an incline on her temporary track. The locomotive, after starting to coast, rammed the park's lake embankment and finally stopped against a large black oak tree. The workmen labored the next day to get the engine back on her rails and into place. Crews stated they expected to have the locomotive in her new quarters in about two more weeks.
Although the engine and tender were successfully relocated during the Fall of 1960, it was several more years before the steel shed was erected overhead to protect the locomotive. In addition to the Pine Bluff Jaycees, the City of Pine Bluff and the Pine Bluff Park Commission each donated $500. Pine Bluff Mayor Franks personally donated $250 and another $250 was donated by the Townsend Park Commission. Gene Gardner, an engineer with International Paper, designed the green and white steel shed and drew up the plans for it. International Paper Company and the Pine Bluff Sand & Gravel Company furnished the concrete footings for the shed, while Varco Steel did the construction work. Construction of the shed was completed in September 1965 when a chain-link fence was installed and the landscaping was finished.
Upon completion of Engine 819's new home in 1965, Mayor Austin Franks shared one of the two keys to the gate with long-time railfan James Norris. Norris' father had taken the locomotive out for her first run in 1943 and young James always remembered his late-father when he saw the engine. Despite being in his late 50s and in failing health, James Norris faithfully visited the locomotive every week to knock off the bird nests and occasionally replace some broken glass in the cab. He would open the gate on Sundays while he was there to let kids climb on the locomotive, ring the bell and answer their many questions.
"Every time I come out here I can see my daddy standing right on that step." Norris said "It kinda gets down in your heart."
It is uncertain when Mr. Norris' health got so bad that he could no longer continue his weekly maintenance visits to the 819, but he admitted in 1965 that his doctor had told him to stay away from the locomotive. Records indicate that Mr. Norris died in 1970 and by 1983 the Arkansas Democrat described the locomotive as "covered in graffiti and vandals have removed, or tried to take, whatever wasn't too heavy to carry off." Miss Arkansas of 1958, Sally Miller Perdue, from Pine Bluff complained "It had been abandoned and stripped of all its dignity. It has become the iron-horse that was put out to pasture, neglected and abused."
Ms. Perdue, whose family had a long history with the railroad, agreed to chair a sub-committee of the Chamber of Commerce's Publicity & Tourism to get the 819 rejuvenated and relocated. With a slogan of "Let's Put the Steam Back in Pine Bluff", she felt that a lot of volunteers, mainly retired Cotton Belt craftsmen and engineers, would be interested in working to restore the 819. Superintendent R. R. McClanahan of the Cotton Belt Pine Bluff Division worked hard to get the locomotive and tender transported from the park back to the shops to make those repairs.
Return to the Cotton Belt shops
On December 1, 1983, a force of between 50 and 100 Cotton Belt employees, most of them volunteers, assisted by railfans and rail historical groups, placed Engine 819 back on Cotton Belt rails for the first time in nearly three decades and transported the engine from the park back to the site of its manufacturing 40 years earlier. Members of the newly formed Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society moved the locomotive back to the Cotton Belt shops, where it was to be restored in a bold project to show Arkansans what past gigantic locomotives looked like.
Although the ownership of the locomotive was retained by the city, the restoration of the 819 was the responsibility of "Project 819", an all-volunteer effort by two rail historical preservation groups: the Arkansas Railroad Club and the Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society. The project leased space needed at the Cotton Belt shops in Pine Bluff to complete the restoration, which was projected to take 18–24 months.
While the engine languished in the park, various parts disappeared including its bell, whistle, Cotton Belt emblems and many of the gauges. Jake Commer, President of the Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society at the time, offered a "no questions asked" policy for the return of these items and received many of the parts back, including the whistle and one of the emblems. The original bell was never located however and the one currently on the engine is from another 800 class locomotive. That bell was used for many years by the Wesley United Methodist Church in Pine Bluff before being donated to Project 819.
Led by Bill B. Bailey, the Restoration Director for "Project 819", seven separate volunteer groups worked six days a week on various sections of the locomotive and tender in hopes of getting the engine totally restored and federally certified as worthy to run on the rails again. Mr. Bailey estimated that about 20% of the volunteers had actually worked on the locomotive or went through an apprenticeship in the early 1940s when the 819 or other 800-class steam locomotives were built in the Cotton Belt Shops at Pine Bluff.
First restoration and excursion service (1986-1993)
On April 6, 1986, Engine 819 moved out of the Cotton Belt Route's yard at Pine Bluff marking the first time it had moved under its own power since 1953. The large crowd gathered at the railyard, including a number of railroad employees, burst into applause and shouted their approval as the locomotive's nose emerged from the shop building with the American and Arkansas flags affixed to the locomotive. Members of the Cotton Belt Railroad Historical Society invested over 35,000 man-hours into this restoration project. Jake Commer praised the efforts the Cotton Belt Route had extended, stating "They helped us so much I can't even begin to tell you about all of it. If it hadn't been for the railroad, we couldn't have done it."
Twenty days later, on April 26, 1986, Engine 819 pulled into Fordyce on her first full-fledged trip out of Pine Bluff in 31 years. School children from Pine Bluff, Rison, Kingsland and Fordyce waved and shouted their delight at the engine. Cars of railfans followed the train's path, taking pictures.
On June 13, 1986, Engine 819 participated in the Arkansas State Sesquicentennial with a trip to Little Rock and was perhaps Pine Bluff's most visible contribution to the weekend events marking the state's 150th birthday. In addition to Pine Bluff's Mayor Robinson, Louis Ramsay - Chairman of the state's Sesquicentennial Commission, and Judge Earl Chadick, Sr. of Jefferson County, Hillary Clinton also rode up from Pine Bluff in the opulent VIP car named "The Houston" on loan from the Cotton Belt. Governor Bill Clinton joined his wife and the other riders on board when the train slowed to a crawl behind Barton Coliseum, just minutes from Little Rock's Union Station. Engine 819 spent the weekend on display at Union Station, just a few blocks north of the state capitol, as part of Arkansas' Sesquicentennial celebration, before returning to Pine Bluff.
During the summer of 1986, film crews came to Pine Bluff for the production of the movie End of the Line. Engine 819 played a minor role along with 35 Pine Bluff residents turned-actors, many of them members of the Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society who had helped restore the steam engine. Arkansas-born actress Mary Steenburgen was the film's executive producer, who worked hard to be able to use the newly restored locomotive for the movie. On August 27, Pine Bluff residents were treated to a special premiere showing of the Orion Pictures film at the Pine Mall Cinema. Proceeds from the $5.00 tickets were given to the Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society.
For the next seven years, the locomotive traveled on numerous excursions, including a trip to the 1990 NRHS convention in St. Louis, where it stood at Union Station with Union Pacific Railroad's No. 844, Frisco No. 1522 and Norfolk Southern's Norfolk & Western No. 1218. No. 819 ran its final excursion train to Tyler, Texas and return in October 1993, and it was last fired up in 1994 before it would be permanently silenced. Also in 1993, the St. Louis Southwestern had been merged into the SP, which would later be merged into the UP, which is not as steam-friendly as SP was.
Current disposition (1993-present)
Engine No. 819 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 18, 2003.
The locomotive is partially disassembled for its mandated 15-year Federal Railroad Administration inspection. The boiler has been “ultra-sounded” and documented, with only a small area of the firebox remaining to be checked. The flue tubes were removed with plans made for their replacement. A sudden increase in material costs and various emergency repairs needed at the museum over the years have exhausted funds that were hoped to be used to complete the project. The locomotive is sat idle inside the museum, awaiting its return to steam and possible future travels.
In March 2021, the Arkansas State Legislature passed an act designating No. 819 the official locomotive of Arkansas with the hope that the passing of this act would encourage and provide for future funds for a restoration to operating condition and protection for the locomotive.

The trained officers on passing out hold the rank of ASP (Assistant Superintendents of Police). The academy is located in Islamabad.
In 1978, Government of Pakistan took first steps towards the establishment of National Police Academy. A training facility was established at Soan Camp on the outskirts of Rawalpindi with offices in rented premises in Islamabad. Though an improvement on the previous arrangements at Police College Sihala, this arrangement also lacked important facilities which are essential for Police Training. National Police Academy was dependent upon Police College Sihala for provision of riding, firing and obstacles facilities. In addition, the distance between training and administrative wings also contributed to ineffective supervision of training activities.
Initially, ASPs were trained in Basic Courses which subsequently replaced with Initial Command Course (ICC) after 1998.
Initial Command Course (ICC) is Specialized Training Programme (STP) designed for the new entrants of Police Service of Pakistan (PSP) officers which is spread over 18 months. This training consists upon four different phases 1) Foundation; 2) Development; 3) Field Attachment & 4) Consolidation.
Organization
The Academy is headed by a commandant, a PSP officer of the rank of Inspector General of Police or Additional Inspector General of Police and assisted by a Deputy Commandant of the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police. The Course Commander, who is an officer of the rank of Senior Superintendent of Police is in charge of the training of the Assistant Superintendents of Police. Director senior Command Course looks after the training of DPOs.

13168754 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifen%20Waterfall | Shifen Waterfall | Shifen Waterfall () is a scenic waterfall located in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan, on the upper reaches of the Keelung River. The falls' total height is and in width, making it the broadest waterfall in Taiwan. It is a cascade waterfall in which the water flows in one direction and the rock is sloped in the opposite.
Name
The name Shifen was taken from the 10 original families who develop the area in Pingxi. The waterfall also is nicknamed the Little Niagara of Taiwan.
Geology
The riverbed of the waterfall consists of several potholes which was caused by the uneven flow of the river, thus creating vortexes that traps passing rocks and causing them to spin and carve holes.
Access
The waterfall is at about 2 km northeast of Shifen station of Taiwan Railways.
The land surrounding the waterfall was private land for a long time and a private company collected entrance fees from the visitors. In 2014, New Taipei city's Tourism and Travel Department acquired the land around the waterfall and created a municipal park and made the admission to the park free.
During the summer from June 1 to Sep 30, the park's opening hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the latest time for visitors to enter the park is 5:30 p.m. During the rest of the year from Oct 1 to May 31, opening hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the latest time for visitors to enter the park is 4:30 p.m.

13168858 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%20de%20Kirkcudbright | Thomas de Kirkcudbright | Thomas de Kirkcudbright, also known as Thomas de Dalton [de Daltoun], was a medieval prelate from the Kingdom of Scotland. He was apparently a nutritus, or foster son, of Robert V de Brus, Lord of Annandale, and seems to have been closely linked in some way to Adam de Kirkcudbright, the man who held the church of Dalton in Annandale. He was likely a native Galwegian or perhaps a native of Annandale.
As the chaplain of Robert de Brus, he was elected by the chapter of Whithorn Cathedral to replace the recently deceased Henry of Holyrood as Bishop of Galloway, sometime before 13 January 1294. He offered obedience to the Archbishop of York on 30 May and was consecrated on 10 October. His election was initially opposed by John Balliol, King of the Scots, though John was eventually reconciled to the election. By the time of his election to the bishopric, he was already a priest and was styled magister, indicating the completion of a university education - though not details of his university education are not known.
Although naturally better disposed to the Bruces than Balliols, his exact role during the turbulence of the First War of Scottish Independence is not clear; after the deposition of Balliol by King Edward I of England, he was co-operative with the English crown, both in his role as a senior inhabitant of the Kingdom of Scotland and as a suffragan of the Archbishop of York. He spent a great deal of time in this period both in Galloway, and in England, and was a close associate of John de Halton, Bishop of Carlisle. The latter, a papal tax collector, granted Thomas a £40 loan from the papal funds stored at Tongland Abbey, in August 1294, undoubtedly related to his accession as Bishop of Galloway.
It came to be thought by some York authorities that he had never adhered to the cause of King Robert I of Scotland, when they called him to a council on this basis on 5 March 1323. Bishop Thomas however had spent a lot of time in the post-Bannockburn kingdom, attending the Ayr assembly of 27 April 1315, where he added his seal to a declaration about the Bruce succession; he added his seal to another pro-Bruce document at some point between October 1314 and November 1316, and attended the Scone parliament of 3 December 1318. His date of death is unknown exactly, but it was after 4 April 1324, and had occurred by 23 September 1326, when his successor Simon de Wedale was elected to succeed him.

13168873 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiganglioside%20antibodies | Antiganglioside antibodies | Antiganglioside antibodies that react to self-gangliosides are found in autoimmune neuropathies. These antibodies were first found to react with cerebellar cells. These antibodies show highest association with certain forms of Guillain–Barré syndrome.
Antibodies to ganglioside subtypes
Autoantigenic gangliosides that are currently known are GD3, GM1, GQ3 and GT1.
Anti-GD3
Anti-GD3 antibodies have been found in association with specific forms of Guillain–Barré syndrome. In vivo studies of isolated anti-GM1 and GD3 antibodies indicate the antibodies can interfere with motor neuron function. Anti-GD1a antibodies were highly associated acute motor axonal neuropathy while high titers of anti-GM1 were more frequent indicating that GD1a possibly targets the axolemma and nodes of Ranvier most of the Ab+ patients had C. jejuni infections. Patients with Anti-GalNAc-GD1a antibodies were less common but had more severe disease (rapidly progressive, predominantly distal weakness).
Anti-GM1
Levels of anti-GM1 antibodies are elevated in patients with various forms of dementia. Antibodies levels correlate with more severe Guillain–Barré syndrome. Levels of anti-GM1 antibodies are especially elevated in patients with prodromal diarrhea. Titers to GM1 in other diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, primary Sjögren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus) was also elevated. Additionally highly significant association was found with rheumatoid arthritis and peripheral neuropathies. Conflicting evidence suggests no significant elevation in motor neuron neuropathy but marginally elevated IgA in sensory neuron neuropathies. The autoimmune role of anti-GM1 is still unclear. Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) with conduction block is closely related to CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy). Anti-GM1 antibodies are positive in around 80% of cases. MMN will present with asymmetrical motor neuropathy where reflexes are usually preserved (or slightly increased), affecting upper limb more than lower limb. MMN is potentially treatable with immunomodulation.
Anti-GQ1b
Anti-GQ1b were typically described in Miller-Fisher syndrome. This presents with the classical triad of ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia. The clinical spectrum of disorders associated with anti-GQ1b now is also recognized to include, Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome
with ophthalmoplegia, and acute ophthalmoplegia without ataxia. Studies of these antibodies reveal large disruption of the Schwann cells.
Triggering agents
Microbial agents include: Campylobacter jejuni and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Campylobacter jejuni
Antibodies to a GM1 epitope as well as to one with the GT1a or GD3 epitope were found in different strains of Campylobacter jejuni and patients with Guillain–Barré syndrome have a high occurrence of C. jejuni infection. Many studies indicate that C. jejuni may be causative for a subset of some forms of neuropathies.
Coeliac disease
Antibodies to ganglioside are found to be elevated in coeliac disease. Recent studies show
that gliadin can cross-link to gangliosides in a transglutaminase independent manner, indicating that gliadin specific T-cell could present these antigens to the immune system.
Immunoglobin isotypes
IgG. In multiple sclerosis, antibodies to GM1 are dominated by the IgG1, IgG3 and IgG4. Also anti-GM1 IgG has been identified in Guillain–Barré syndrome or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. while controlled studies failed to find any significant association with Motor neuron disease.
IgA. IgA to gangliosides have been observed in Guillain–Barré syndrome.
IgM. IgM antibodies have been detected in early work, but their significance in disease is controversial.

47788960 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964%20Rosais%20earthquake | 1964 Rosais earthquake | The 1964 Rosais earthquake () was a series of seismic swarms occurring in February 1964, leading to two major earthquakes on 15 and 21 February, resulting in the destruction of most of the habitable dwellings on the western part of the island of São Jorge, in the archipelago of the Azores. The event resulted in the evacuation of approximately 5,000 residents from that island to Terceira, Pico and Faial.
History
Geologic
The island of São Jorge is divided into two tectonic regions by tectonic fractures oriented north-northwest to south-southeast, located along an axis between Norte Pequeno and Calheta (the Ribeira Seca fault).
The northwest portion of the island is the most modern, consisting of basalt and intermediary rock (andesites) of the Rosais Volcanic Complex. This region was also covered swaths of the Manadas complex and debris from the 1580 and 1808 volcanic eruptions. The first eruption (1580) resulted in lava flows in three areas northwest to southeast: along the Ribeira da Almeida, in Queimada (south of Santo Amaro) and between Ribeira do Nabo and the beach of Cruzes (west of Urzelina). The second eruption (1808) resulted in andesite-basaltic lava flows in the southwest of Pico do Pedro, that extended to Urzelina.
The São Jorge-Pico Channel that separates the islands of Pico and São Jorge is divided by fractures and faults extending north-northwest to south-southwest. The northernmost group of faults on the island of São Jorge extend from Cerrado das Almas to the peak of Loiçano. But, the island is almost bisected by a fault that extends from the promontory of Rosais to just north of Calheta (in the southeast). The Rosais promontory, at a height of above sea level, an area dominated by an area of scoria cones, the highest being Monte Trigo at altitude. A final group of fractures aligned to scoria cones northwest of Velas: to the southeast there are faults towards Pico do Carvão, while to the northeast of Velas are fractures responsible for the submarine eruption in 1964.
São Jorge has had a history of tectonic movements associated with the submarine fractures between the island and Pico. The most violent of these events occurred on the night of 9 July 1757, with its epicenter in Fajã dos Vimes. This event resulted in landslides, opening fractures and resulting in the destruction of dwellings in Manadas (killing one fifth of the population, 1000 people).
Event
The February 1964 event was a phenomenon related to a submarine volcanic eruption west-northwest of the village of Velas, below sea level.
On 21 August 1963, tremors were felt in the central group of the Azorean archipelago, including in the epicenter located in the Pico-São Jorge Channel. This event resulted in damage to an area around Cais do Pico, while the tremors reached an intensity of V-VI on the Mercalli intensity scale affected the parishes of Rosais, Santo Amaro and town of Velas. After 13 December, seismographs in the observatory in Horta registered earthquake swarms linked to a volcanic eruption that continued until January 1964, related initially with Capelinhos. There was a lull after December. On 29 January and 1 February 1964, two submarine cables with the São Jorge Channel were cut. On 14 February volcanic tremors began to be felt, but just as the populace had assumed that the swarm had ended, on 15 February 1964, around 7:00 a.m., the tremors resumed with a violent earthquake (VII-VIII on the Mercalli intensity scale, recorded in the village of Terreiros), that resulted in destruction of homes. Following this earthquake, within the next 24 hours, more than 179 tremors were felt (some reaching VI-VII on the Mercalli intensity scale) and 125 in the following day, before diminishing.
In the first three days, the epicentre was situated in the middle of São Jorge, in the proximity of historical eruptions in Urzelina and Manadas. In the beginning, the epicenter was located in Pico do Cabeço and Pico de Maria Pires, between Urzelina and Toledo, but later extended to the area of Pico da Esperança. The tremors reached a level VI (Strong) on the Mercalli intensity scale, causing panic and flight of citizenry to the town of Velas: the earthquake affected the areas of Urzelina, Manadas, Santo António and Norte Grande, intensifying until 18 February. On 18 February, the epicenters migrated to the northwest in the direction of the coast of Rosais, with the most intense tremors in the areas of Rosais, Beira, Velas, Santo Amaro, Manadas, Santo António and Norte Grande. A few reached level VIII in Velas and Rosais, where many of the homes were destroyed or became uninhabitable. After 18 February, low intensity earthquake swarms continued in the interior, with the largest hardly felt in Calheta or Topo.
A great number of tremors were noted that anticipated the next earthquake.
On 21 February, between 5:14 p.m. and 5:25 p.m. three strong earthquakes destroyed the homes in Rosais, and caused damage to dwellings in Toledo, Serroa, Beira and the village of Velas. The shocks attained VIII (Severe) on the Mercalli intensity scale in Velas and Rosais, VI (Strong) in Urzelina and Manadas, V (Moderate) in Santo António, Norte Grande, Norte Pequeno and Calheta, and III (Weak) in Topo. The more intense phase terminated on 24 February, at 8:45 p.m. After this event the tremors began to decrease in intensity and frequency, and few were registered in the western part of island. The earthquakes varied: epicenters in the centre of the island were situated approximately in depth; and others, near Velas, were located in depth. Similarly, the more violent tremors were felt in the islands near São Jorge. In total there were more than 500 aftershocks, with the event terminating on 25 February.
About 5,000 people abandoned the area affected by the earthquakes, most heading for Calheta; 1000 escaped over the São Jorge-Pico Channel. Coincidentally, after 15 February 1964, a storm had begun, and weather hampered the rescue operations, contributing to a feeling of panic among the populace. With lack of information, the constant tremors and poor weather conditions contributed to a general feeling of impending disaster among the citizenry. The stormy weather continued along the week. As a result of the first days earthquakes, there was significant destruction in the town of Velas and surrounding hamlets. Approximately 400 homes were destroyed, with many of the buildings requiring repairs (about 250 in total). The number of dwellings that were damaged exceeded 900.
Logically, the earthquakes presupposed a submarine volcanic eruption; the smell of sulphur was observed on 18, 19 and 20 February in the town of Velas, and later in Rosais, Beira, Santo Amaro and Norte Grande, and carried on the wind toward the southwest. Yet, the stormy weather made it impossible to see evidence. Meanwhile, a ship crossing the channel observed the presence of white caps on the surface of the water, indicating, possibly that there was a small eruption.

Owing to the general panic and lack of help, 5,000 people were evacuated to the islands of Terceira, Pico and Faial, and were lodged in local homes, in an act of solidarity.
The evacuation was extremely troubling, given the persistent storms and waves along the channel between the islands, where waves reached , and where ships and ports had limited capacity to transport the evacuees. A majority of the evacuees were transported onboard international cargo containers, including specifically the English flag-carrier Remuera, which was travelling within the Azores at the time of the crisis.
Lack of planning and excavation equipment, meant that many of the peoples fleeing their homes, leaving the possessions and abandoning their domestic animals. Even as many returned to their homes immediately following the events, many others remained on the island of Terceira, causing social problems and preoccupying locals. Many of the evacuees returned to the island onboard smaller yachts or ships from Pico (including the historic ships Santo Amaro, Espírito Santo and Terra Alta) and the cargo vessel Girão, which normally transported foodstuffs between the islands.
The Civil Governor, Teotónio Machado Pires (today remembered with a street named in his honour), visited the island and coordinated the relief operations.
American forces stationed on Terceira (at Lajes Airfield) provided tents and relief equipment, including communications equipment and aerial surveillance. By the late 20th century, there were still Quonset huts (metallic semi-circular huts/dwellings), invented for use in the Second World War, that were donated by the Americans to house many of those who had lost their homes.
The national government adopted measures to begin the reconstruction, that culminated in Decree-Law 45/685, on 27 April 1964], which authorized several measures to assist homeless.
Emigration
The lack of funds/resources during the reconstruction meant that emigration was the only exit strategy for many Jorgenses. With social and economic upheaval, particularly after the Capelinhos volcanic eruption, this was the only solution available: resulting in emigration to the United States, even as the Estado Novo regime tried to direct emigration to the African colonies.
In this context, with the active support of the State, the colony of Cela was established in Angola, essentially populated by homeless Jorgenses. Ironically, the independence drive, these colonists were left homeless and returned to continental Portugal, or ultimately to the United States.
Aftermath
On 17 February, the municipal council of Velas, under the direction of president Duarte Sá, authorized the analysis of relief efforts, and deliberate the creation of a Central Commission, consisting of the president and vice-president, but also aldermen António Cristiano da Silveira and Manuel da Silva Bettencourt.
The Central Commission, later became a dependency of the Civil Governor, resulting in the creation of various sub-commissions, responsible for:
Transport Commission (Comissão de Transportes), that included the commandants of the police and fiscal guard, whose function was to obtain and coordinate the transport necessary to handle operations;
Installation Commission (Comissão de Instalação), that consisted of the chief of operations of the Junta Autónoma dos Portos and the president of the Junta de Freguesia das Velas, with the objective of preparing shelters for the populace;
Social-Medical Assistance Commission (Comissão de Assistência Médico-Social), that included Health delegate and the Provedor of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, who were responsible for assisting people requiring medial attention;
Assistance Commission (Comissão de Assistência), guided by the president of administrative council of the União Nacional, to help collect, prepare and distribute foodstuffs to the population;
Communications Commission (Comissão de Comunicações) formed by the Maritime Delegate and chief of the Postal/Telegraph Station, who were responsible fore maintaining communication services;
Parish Commission (Comissões de Freguesia), functions in each parish, chief by the clergy, with the objective of supporting directly the people of each parish, establishing contact with the Central Commission.

Life
Ploeger was born in the Netherlands and is currently living and working in the United Kingdom. . He holds a PhD from the University of Sussex, UK, and teaches at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London.
Work
Dani Ploeger's artwork focuses on the human body in connection to technology, sexuality and consumer culture.
His work frequently addresses issues connected to sexuality and technology. In ELECTRODE, an anal electrode connected to an EMG sensor is used to replicate the sphincter contraction pattern of a masturbating experimental subject. His work Ascending Performance features a Super 8 film of the naked artist and can be downloaded from MiKandi, an adult app store for Android phones. The sexually explicit and technology-critical aspects of Ploeger's work have led to some controversies and both amused and fierce media responses. He has been described as a 'post-Stelarc' artist and the 'Jimi Hendrix of the Sphincter'. Music critic Andy Hamilton has stated that there are "two assholes too many" in Ploeger's performance ELECTRODE and the German newspaper Der Freitag has suggested that he 'abuses gender criticism to inflate something as art'
Ploeger has created pieces addressing consumer culture and electronic waste, including Recycled Coil (2014), as part of which a body piercer installed a cathode ray television coil in Ploeger's abdomen for Art Hack Day Berlin, and the installation Back to Sender (2013–14), a collaboration with Nigerian performance artist Jelili Atiku. It consists of a pile of broken European electronic appliances which were collected on dump sites in Lagos, Nigeria, and subsequently sent back to Europe. In writing, interviews and public talks, Ploeger has critiqued consumption and planned obsolescence of digital devices, the technological utopianism of artists such as Stelarc and Atau Tanaka, and the sexualization of naked bodies in media culture He performed at Arse Elektronika in San Francisco, where his sex tech performance installations involved medical consumer technologies and explored themes around the technologized body, sexuality and vanity.

47789012 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search%20engine%20marketing%20in%20China | Search engine marketing in China | As of 2010, the largest internet enterprises in China were Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba followed by Soso, Sogou, Bing, and Yahoo. In March 2010, Google which had been in the list from 2000, was forced to pull out from China because of a heated dispute with the Chinese Government regarding the censoring of search engine results.
China also has banned Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. There are local Chinese versions available in the form of Sina Weibo and Youku.
The Great China Firewall's presence obviates international businesses from gaining a foothold in China's online market. This gives local businesses the opportunity to compete against each other. It also allows them to create their own platforms that can rival their western counterparts. An example of this is Baidu, China's search engine comparable to Google. Baidu controls 76% percent of China's market share.
Assembling data
While looking at marketing performance for a search engine, finding data and metrics are crucial for their business model. Within this data, companies and organizations can gather details in understanding and adjusting the efficiency and effectiveness in marketing. This course of action will drive businesses to a better ROI and decisions.
According to The Marketing Score Blog, several factors rely in evaluating the website's traffic.
A traditional metric showing the organization's marketing effort. Below are a few examples of what to look for in measuring the retrieved data.
Social Media: What means of attracting more visitors to your brand? Facebook? Twitter? Customer service? Are two-way conversations being made through the said mediums? What drives the customers to your product, and does the media reach out to the appropriate audience?
Website Traffic and subscribers: Much of the effort comes from having a keen awareness in managing via TOFU (top of the funnel), alongside, polish/reinforce your brand. All are possible by expanding through the different mediums to gather more visitors. And as the visitors grow, does the company maintain a constant activity through updates?
Customer Retention Rates (CRR): Some managers may not pay much attention to long term customers as a measurement. In fact, marketing should keep a keen sight and ideas to remain a hold on such customers. Different company departments should discuss and form new plans, for customers could act as a representative for their product.
An additional example, provided by the CMI (Content Marketing Institute), they utilize the KPI (Key Performance Indicator).
Analyzing the medias: Keep track of the growth in social medias and web traffics, which in turn, helps pinpoint the growing trend and assemble customer's comments. These two factors help in creating updates that will help spread the brand, however, it is more important to keep records of dialogues with the customers. This will greatly help in strategize a plan that meets their interest.
Follow up actions: Stay with information that you can pursue into an action. As one example, the CMI has created a document which tracks social medias on a regular basis. After careful observations of these KPIs, the team has changed its directions to variables that they can take action on; The interactions with subscribers, varying exchange rate in emails, and invitations/sign ups for events.
Collection and Analysis: Through several automated systems, including CMI's very own, the team can take a look at all the data recorded into the dashboards. Afterwards, the data must be read to get a grasp on the next marketing opportunity and adjustments.
China's media environment
While having their own popular social media platforms, their contents differ compared to the western counterparts. Sina Weibo, China's Twitter, centers around retweeting the same topic over and over. Though it lacks in variety, the post itself will gain a large visibility among users. Whereas, Twitter focuses on current events that circulate for a short time.
As stated in the start, China greatly emphasizes in local entrepreneurship. Due to the competitive nature, it is not surprising to see a company attack its rival with criticisms. It is often advised to monitor the sources carefully when comparing reviews of the competitor's, as well, your own. A misstep can be made when coming with a conclusion based on faulty information gathered without careful examination.
Because of the different environment, it is best to adapt to the new domain, and reconfigure your strategy. Competition between locals is the norm: Various platforms Youku and Tudou, Sina Weibo and Weixin, Renren and Kaixin001 etc.
are some of the largest companies comparing against each other in their field.

47789025 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federaci%C3%B3n%20Argentina%20de%20Football | Federación Argentina de Football | The Federación Argentina de Football (FAF) was a dissident football association of Argentina that organised its own championships from 1912 to 1914. The Argentine Football Association did not recognised those championships until both associations were merged in 1914. Currently, all the championships organised by the FAF are considered officials by the AFA.
History
The breakup came after a conflict between the president of Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires, Ricardo Aldao, and the Argentine Football Association. Several teams retired from the official body to form their own league, therefore the FAF was officially established on June 14, 1912.
Dissident clubs and founding members of FAF were Independiente, Porteño, Estudiantes (LP), Gimnasia y Esgrima (BA), Argentino de Quilmes, Atlanta, Kimberley (Villa Devoto) and Sociedad Sportiva Argentina. Independiente would be the first champion of the FAF in 1912.
The next year, Hispano Argentino and Tigre were added to the competition, increasing the number of teams to 10. By 1914, the number of teams decreased to eight. The body also organised a national cup, the Copa de Competencia La Nación, named after local newspaper La Nación that had donated the trophy.
After both associations, FAF and AFA were merged on December 23, 1914, there was a unique championship in 1915, with 25 teams taking part and four of them (Kimberley, Defensores de Belgrano, Comercio and Floresta) relegated at the end of the season.
Nevertheless, a new breakup would come in 1919 when another dissident body, the Asociación Amateurs de Football, was established.
Competitions
The FAF organised several competitions, as listed below:
Primera División (1912–14)
División Intermedia (1912–14)
Segunda División (1912–14)
Tercera División (1912–14)

47789122 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford%20Purchase | Crawford Purchase | The Crawford Purchase was an agreement that surrendered lands that extended west along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario from the Mississaugas to the British crown to enable Loyalist settlement in what is now a part of eastern Ontario, Canada. The agreement was made in 1783 in exchange for various items.
Background
Land in the eastern region of what is now Ontario was being settled by Loyalists and their Native allies in 1783. This area was historically territory of the Anishinaabe, more specifically the Algonquin and Mississauga nations. It had come under the control of the Iroquois during the Beaver Wars in the second half of the 17th century. The Mississaugas had recovered the territory by 1700. An arrangement needed to be worked out with the Mississaugas before the land became organized for settlement.
Agreement
Frederick Haldimand, governor of the Province of Quebec instructed Sir John Johnson, Inspector General of Indian Affairs, to begin land purchase negotiations. Negotiations were led by Captain William Radford Crawford of the King's Royal Regiment of New York. The agreement was signed on 9 October 1783 on Carleton Island and gave the British title to "all the lands from the Toniata or Ongara River (now Jones Creek near Brockville) to a river in the Bay of Quinte within eight leagues to the bottom of the said Bay including all the islands extending from the lake as far back as a man can travail (sic) in a day". The actual extent comprised an area of land from near Gananoque to the Trent River and about 30 miles inland.
The Mississaugas received gifts which consisted of blankets, clothing, guns, ammunition, and "as much red cloth as would make a dozen coats and as many laced hats".
The Crawford Purchase was designated an Event of National Historic Significance on 17 May 1929.

47789151 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill%20Em%20with%20Kindness | Kill Em with Kindness | "Kill Em with Kindness" is a song recorded by American singer Selena Gomez. It was serviced to contemporary hit radio on May 3, 2016, through Interscope Records as the fourth and final single from her second studio album Revival (2015). The song was written by Gomez and producers Rock Mafia, Benny Blanco and Dave Audé, while R3drum contributed additional production. "Kill Em with Kindness" is a tropical house song with an electronic production.
Lyrically, the track gives advice for dealing with critics and revolves around the theme of magnanimity. It was inspired by the body-shaming Gomez endured from media outlets and social media when pictures of her on a beach in Mexico surfaced online. "Kill Em with Kindness" garnered generally positive reviews from music critics, who highlighted its positive themes, sleek production, and hook, though some felt it lacked originality. It performed moderately well on international music charts; reaching number one in Poland, top ten in Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Hungary, and top twenty in Argentina, Canada, Finland, Latvia, Lebanon, Slovakia, and Switzerland. In the United States, it peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The accompanying music video was directed by Emil Nava and released on June 6, 2016. The black and white clip follows Gomez around a sprawling mansion during multiple photo shoots, dressed only in a corset and underwear, while shots of choreographed interpretive dancers, falling bullets, and blood-dripped flowers are interspersed throughout. The video was well received by critics, who praised its "artful" direction and intimate feel. To promote "Kill Em with Kindness", Gomez performed the song live for several venues including the Jingle Ball Tour 2015, and was included as part of her Revival Tour set list.
Background
According to Gomez, one of the main inspirations behind the song was the body-shaming she dealt with from tabloids and social media users when paparazzi photographs emerged of her in a bikini during a trip to Mexico in April 2015. Many claimed she had gained weight, with some media outlets going as far as to label her a "mess", and suggesting she was "going off the deep end". Gomez recalled, "I was getting a lot of hate for my body and 'you're gaining weight,' and so I was in Mexico and I was just feeling all of this stuff and I would be lying to you if I said it didn't kind of hurt my feelings, but I kind of channeled that into my music." She called the experience "degrading", adding that she had never been through such intense bullying before.
In an interview for Power 106, Gomez spoke in-depth about the inspiration behind "Kill Em with Kindness", saying: "Everybody has had a say in my life […] meaning the world, the perception, the media. It was really frustrating. There is a song on my record called 'Kill Em with Kindness.' So I've always done that. I ignore, I ignore, I ignore. And then it just kind of got out of hand. So I went to the new label [Interscope] and I was like, I have to say something. I need to say what I want to say, and you guys have to help me figure out how to do that." While working on the album, Gomez enlisted frequent collaborators Rock Mafia to help make her sound a reality. They helped Gomez on the creation of six tracks on the album, including "Revival" and "Kill Em with Kindness", the latter being one of the most personal tracks on Revival. She told the producers that although the production was important, she wanted the lyrics to be the focus of the song.
Recording and release
"Kill Em with Kindness" was written by Selena Gomez, Antonina Armato, Tim James, Benjamin Levin and David Aude. The track was recorded by Steve Hammons and Adam Comstock at Rock Mafia Studios in Los Angeles, California. After adding the instrumentation and programming from Dave Audé, James and Blanco produced "Kill Em with Kindness" with assistance from R3drum. The song was sent to be mixed by Serban Ghenea at Mixstar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia. John Hanes served as the track's mixing engineer, and received assistance from Phil Seaford.
After releasing three successful singles from Revival, Gomez announced that she had begun recording a follow-up to the album, stating that she was ready to move on from the era. However, in an interview for 97.5 Now FM, Gomez revealed that "Kill Em with Kindness" was going to be released as the album's fourth and final single, saying: "‘Kill Em with Kindness’ is lyrically my favorite song I put on the record and I definitely can't wait to be able for that to have a story." It was serviced to contemporary hit radio on May 3, 2016. On May 31, 2016, the official cover art for the single was released. It features a lipstick print against a black surface, which Mike Wass of Idolator noted "vaguely ties in with the song’s message of rising above your haters."
Composition
Musically, "Kill Em with Kindness" is a groove-driven dance-pop song. Its electronic production is composed of airy synths, added bells, and a whistled hook, connected by a tropical breeze. Cristina Jaleru of The Washington Times called "Kill Em with Kindness" an "approachable dance track", while Mike Wass of Idolator noted that the whistle hook recalled Adam Lambert's "Ghost Town". According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is written in the key of B-flat minor with a tempo of 120 beats per minute in common time. The track follows a chord progression of Bm – G – D – F7, and Gomez's vocals span from A3 to B4.
Lyrically, "Kill Em with Kindness" gives advice for dealing with critics, and delivers a message of choosing peace instead of violence and revenge. As the song opens, Gomez professes: "The world can be a nasty place / You know it / I know it". Wass noted the lyrics as conveying a message of peace, saying "instead of raising the proverbial middle finger, [Gomez] takes the high road." The theme of magnanimity is further displayed in lyrics such as "We don't have to fall from grace / Put down the weapons you fight with", imploring the listener to "put out the fire before igniting." According to Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times, the song was Gomez's response to "ungentle tabloid chatter" in regards to her health.
Critical reception
Tim Sendra of AllMusic picked it as a highlight from the album, remarking that "Gomez sounds most at home." Elysa Gardner of USA Today selected it one of the tracks to download and named it a "groove-driven, electro-savvy track." Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine noted that though it "lacks of originality," the song is yet a standout. James Reed of The Boston Globe called it a "dance-floor catnip," while Dave Hanratty of Drowned in Sound named it a "laser-focused sugar rush", adding that "Gomez succeeds in laying down a winning pop gauntlet." Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times noted that "what's remarkable is how steadied she seems by such a facile conviction." Katharine St. Asaph of Time labelled it "au corant", which according to him "stirs a tropical-house breeze not dissimilar from Bieber's song 'What Do You Mean?'." Jia Tolentino of Spin wrote that the track works for addressing the viewing public, calling it a "hustling little posi-heater." Mike Wass of Idolator referred to it as a "triple threat's measured missive to haters," noting that the message "is a powerful stance in the age of online-bullying, Twitter beefs and messy open letters."

47789153 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands%20to%20Myself | Hands to Myself | "Hands to Myself" is a song recorded by American singer Selena Gomez for her second studio album, Revival (2015). It was released on January 20, 2016, as the record's third single by Interscope Records. The track was written by Gomez, Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, and its producers Mattman & Robin and Max Martin. It is meant to add a fresh female perspective to the album and was influenced by the music of Prince. Musically, it is a dance-pop and synth-pop song backed by lightly clicking percussion, hand claps, a guitar riff and "tribal pop" synths. Throughout the track, Gomez uses both her higher vocal register for belting, as well as her lower range breathy vocals in a volume just above a whisper. She clips her enunciation of the lyrics, which detail sexual desire.
"Hands to Myself" received acclaim from music critics, who complimented its uncharacteristic production and lyrics, as well as Gomez's versatile vocal performance. An accompanying music video directed by Alek Keshishian was premiered as an Apple Music exclusive on December 21, 2015. The video depicts a film of Gomez dressed in lingerie playing a stalker of a Hollywood actor; critics commended its cinematography and the singer's appearance, hailing it as her sexiest and most revealing visual yet. Gomez promoted the song with televised performances on the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Saturday Night Live. It has also been lip-synched to by the Victoria's Secret Angels in a promotional video, and used in Beats Electronics' commercial for their Beats Pill portable speaker and was also featured in a television commercial for Pantene. Commercially, "Hands to Myself" reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Gomez's fifth consecutive top-ten hit in the United States and third from Revival. It also peaked within the top ten in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal and Slovakia, and the top twenty in Australia and the United Kingdom.
Writing and production
"Hands to Myself" was written by Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, Robin Fredriksson, Mattias Larsson, Max Martin and Selena Gomez.
The second-to-last song recorded for Selena Gomez's second studio album, Revival (2015), "Hands to Myself" was described by Gomez as "a beautiful accident" and "probably the best song on the album". Following the success of the album's lead single "Good for You" which Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter co-wrote, Gomez decided to collaborate for an additional four days with Michaels and Tranter despite her label's instructions for the album to be mixed at the time. Before the sessions began, Gomez felt that she had already addressed her desired themes for Revival, but wanted additional material that would be fresh from a female perspective.
The idea of development for "Hands to Myself" started with the hook, "Can't keep my hands to myself", which Michaels had voiced in a note on her cellphone after singing it in her car. She first approached Tranter, and Robin Fredriksson of Mattman & Robin with the hook, asking, "Is this stupid? This could be really cool, I think". Later, Michaels suggested to Gomez that the track should sound like Prince's music; Gomez enthusiastically agreed. Michaels was also banging a cup on a desk at the session, inspiring a similar sound included in the recording. Another lyric, "You're metaphorical gin-and-juice", was a line Tranter had initially tried using in "a hundred" other songs. A demo of the song was recorded within a day with production from Mattman & Robin who told Gomez that it should be sent to producer Max Martin for further vocal production. At first unsure, Gomez acceded to the duo's suggestion. Martin immediately responded through FaceTime, describing it as the best thing he had heard all year. He included ad libitum and additional vocal hooks at the song's final chorus while also adjusting its pre-chorus. Recording took place at Wolf Cousins and Maratone Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, and at Interscope Studios in Santa Monica, California.
Composition and lyrical interpretation
"Hands to Myself" is a dance-pop and synth-pop song. It begins stripped-down with a minimal backdrop and a sparse, thumping beat. This comprises drums, bass, lightly clicking percussion and hand claps. The beat then snaps and percolates as a dark guitar riff, reminiscent of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" (1988), plays beneath it. Using her lower vocal register and breathy vocals, Gomez coos in an octave just above a whisper. She clips her enunciation with a string of consecutive syllables, "Can't-keep-my-hands-to-my-self".
At the pre-chorus, the song pertains to a "tribal pop" sound with synths and piano becoming prominent. Gomez extends her vocal range belting, "All of the downs and the uppers / Keep making love to each other / And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying". In the chorus, she is then accompanied by gasping background vocals sung by Michaels. Before the final chorus, the music cuts out; Gomez then sings the line "I mean I could but why would I want to?" unaccompanied in one melodic burst. The song ends in a booming crescendo with Gomez's vocal breaking into gasps and sighs.
Lyrically, "Hands to Myself" express sexual desire and wish to find love through good and bad situations. Sam Wolfson of Vice magazine opines that at first the lyrics suggest a typical song about sexual desire, but a "darker undercurrent" then becomes apparent; "there's two narratives at play – a surface and a more hostile truth", he explained. According to Wolfson, the "all of the downs and the uppers" lyric implies a relationship affected by drugs and mental health, further manifested in the line, "The doctors say you're no good". Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic writes that the lyric "you're metaphorical gin-and-juice" "rebukes the idea that Millennials like the 23-year-old Gomez don't get the meaning of 'literal'; is a redundant description given that it's unlikely she'd be singing to an actual cocktail; and is further proof of Long Beach gangsta rap's grand influence". "Hands to Myself" is written in the key of E major with a tempo of 111 beats per minute. The song follows a chord progression of EGmCmB, with Gomez's vocals ranging from the low note of B3 to the high note of C5.
Critical reception
Dave Hanratty from Drowned in Sound deemed it a "laser-focused sugar rush". Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone praised the song's fun and flirty sound, writing, "Her brand of sexiness has a coy, subtle quality that never tries too hard". Sal Cinquemani, writer for Slant Magazine, said Gomez's vocal performance made the track interesting, describing it as smartly indebted to that of Robyn; "success is a pretty girl who knows how to play her cards," he concluded. Jamieson Cox of The Verge commented: "She's a piece of the puzzle rather than a figure at the forefront, and her bigger moments are made to look more impressive by the gulf between them and her hushed, clipped verses. The result is something that sounds like an upper-case version of the xx, and it's a great look for Selena. Smart writing always wins." USA Today critic Elysa Gardner commended Gomez's "sense of poise and reserve" on the song which she highlighted as "lithe".
Ed Masley from The Arizona Republic regarded Gomez's phrasing as brilliant and deemed "Hands to Myself" the sexiest track the singer had done. Masley also complimented the production which he felt was uncharacteristic for Martin, likening it to 1990s productions by The Neptunes. Similarly, Los Angeles Times critic Mikael Wood commended Gomez's vocal performance as "a study in restraint" and Martin's production as "uncharacteristically delicate". Spencer Kornhaber from The Atlantic called it "instantly catchy", highlighting the "wonderfully bizarre" lyrics. Jia Tolentino of Spin magazine regarded "Hands to Myself" as "weightless meditation on seduction" and lauded its "dance tent's worth of pent-up energy" and "perfect interlude". Brennan Carley, also writing for Spin, complimented Gomez's "impeccable" phrasing and the track's "crisp" production, further noting that the song manifested Gomez's growth as a singer; he wrote she "breathes life" into the song and excels at "stretching the boundaries of what her aerated tones can achieve".
Myles Tanzer from The Fader wrote: "Swedish [production] perfection aside, Gomez makes the song. Her vocal performance is equal parts power and fun." Another The Fader writer said Gomez sounded "borderline unrecognizable", adding, "and I'm 100% here for the glo up". Sal Maicki of Complex magazine called it "a certified banger", adding, "It's intimate and mature, whilst ridiculously catchy". Lauren Nostro of the same publication deemed the track "absolutely irresistible", and opined that it marked a peak for Gomez's coy attitude and breathy vocals. Nostro concluded: "It's an effortlessly catchy pop smash, but more importantly, it finds Selena at her most playful—she's making grown and sexy music now, and she's not afraid to show it." Some critics viewed the song's "I mean I could but why would I want to?" line as one of the best moments in pop music in 2015. Billboard ranked "Hands to Myself" at number 91 on their "Billboard's 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016: Critics' Picks" list, writing “Breathy, sexy fun, and Selena Gomez's quivering delivery of the coy lyrics makes you really believe she literally cannot let her hands stay idle. It also contains quite possibly the best throwaway line of the year.”

Chart performance
Despite Interscope's promotion, and strong airplay of Revivals second single "Same Old Love" at the time, "Hands to Myself" managed to initially find commercial success with minimal promotion ahead of an announced release date after an accompanying music video that shows a lip-synced version of "Hands to Myself" by Victoria's Secret Angels. "Hands to Myself" debuted at number 77 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart dated December 26, 2015. Following the release of its accompanying music video, the song rose from number 62 to number 39—prompted by a 95% sales increase (47,000 copies) and a 43% increase in streams (five million) that week—and also climbed from number 46 to number 18 on the US Digital Songs chart and debuted at number 37 on the US Streaming Songs chart. For the week ending February 13, 2016, the song rocketed from number 21 to seven on the Hot 100, giving Gomez her fifth top ten hit overall and third from Revival. As of July 7, 2016 Hands to Myself has sold 958,754 copies in the US, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
"Hands to Myself" debuted at number 74 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart for the week ending December 26, 2015. In its eighth charting week, the song leaped 18 places from number 23 to five, marking it as Gomez's highest-charting single on the chart and first top-five hit.

Music video
Background and release
The accompanying music video for "Hands to Myself" was directed by Alek Keshishian and filmed in Hollywood Hills, California. Christopher Mason of Wilhelmina Models plays Gomez's love interest in the music video. Gomez and Keshishian had met a number of times socially before, though "Hands to Myself" marked their first time working together. Gomez recruited Keshishian inspired by his work on Madonna's 1991 documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare. Keshishian explained: "I always like to find a different way of seeing a celebrity. [And] Selena's head was in the same place." He felt it was important to incorporate attention to detail for visuals such as Gomez wearing an engagement ring to depict her as a stalker thinking she is married to Mason, and Mason's extravagant closet to portray him as rich and successful. Gomez wore lingerie from the Emporio Armani underwear collection. Regarding the filming, Keshishian mentioned: "We would be lighting with a stand-in and then [Gomez] would come in and it would be a completely live shot with her. She's so good at it." The singer wanted to convey the feeling people get when they have lust and obsess towards someone else, portraying it in the video's plot and plot twist. She explained the concept in detail:
I wanted the idea to feel like it was two different versions of being in this fantasy. I think everybody can have those moments where they're dreaming about what their life could be, especially girls with love. Being obsessed with the idea, and you can't control yourself because that's what you want, no matter what's happening. (...) You get to see these images of what people think love is. It's theatrical, it's movie-like. And all that you end up seeing ends up being this false reality on both ends. That's what I wanted it to feel like.
Gomez partnered with Beats Electronics for the "Hands to Myself" music video, promoting their Beats Pill portable speaker. She shared a 30-second preview clip of the music video on Facebook on December 7, 2015. The clip which heavily features the Beats Pill tied in as Beats Electronics' commercial for the product. On December 17, 2015, Gomez posted two image teasers on Instagram and then a second preview clip the following day. The music video premiered as an Apple Music exclusive on December 21, 2015, like its predecessor "Same Old Love". It remained on the service for almost a month, until being released on Vevo on January 20, 2016.
Synopsis
In the music video, Mason plays the role of an actor while Gomez plays his stalker. The video begins with a handcuffed Gomez writhing around on a bed, donning an engagement ring, a wig and black silk robe. Shots of marked maps and an image collage of Mason on a wall are then shown. Gomez later breaks into Mason's modern penthouse apartment with the intention of fulfilling a sexual fantasy of him. On arrival, Gomez takes off her robe and wears only spiked stilettos and black lingerie consisting of a bra and high-waisted underwear. She searches through his color-coordinated closet and tries on one of his dress shirts. Dancing in the shirt, Gomez proceeds to smelling his cologne bottle.
Gomez is then depicted writhing around on his bed caressing herself as she imagines a love scene with Mason. In another segment, she is shown taking a hot bath, imagining him in a shower. Gomez also watches a marathon of movies in which Mason stars. Tired, she proceeds back upstairs wrapped in a bed sheet where one of Mason's film posters titled The Obsession is shown at the staircase wall. Gomez then passes out on his bed. Mason later arrives home and realizes that something is wrong and calls the police who arrest Gomez. In a plot twist, the video ends zooming out from the preceding events, showing Gomez and Mason happily cuddling on a couch watching a film called Hands to Myself in which they starred.
Reception
The music video's release aided a 46% gain of 180,000 Twitter mentions for Gomez in the week ending December 27, 2015, according to Next Big Sound. It was well received by critics. Billboard magazine's Colin Stutz said: "It's not your standard love story, by far, and it's probably the sexiest we've seen Gomez get yet." Both Lauren Alexis Fisher of Harper's Bazaar and Kelly McClure from Maxim magazine hailed it as Gomez's sexiest video yet, with the former likening it to the 2015 film Fifty Shades of Grey. Nick Maslow from People magazine regarded the video as "undoubtedly Gomez's most revealing offering to date". Nylon magazine's Daniel Barna remarked that Gomez "looks sexier and more secure than ever". Digital Spy's Lewis Corner opined that the video was "appropriately seductive" and described it as Gomez's "raunchiest visual yet". Madeline Roth of MTV News wrote that "being a felon never looked so good" and found the visual's plot twist clever.
Chris Mench from Complex hailed it as "quite a spectacle". Sean Fitz-Gerald of New York magazine deemed it "very cinematic, twisty", likening it to the 2015 film The Gift. Meghan Overdeep from InStyle commented: "Gomez takes on a persona that couldn't be farther from her Barney & Friends days, and wow ... she's looking good!" Brennan Carley of Spin magazine called it "a sexy psycho-thriller" and viewed its Apple Music exclusive release as "a smart pop play"; he opined that its exclusivity was well-timed considering the success of "Same Old Love" at the time and felt that the video's exclusivity would help build "widespread buzz" for "Hands to Myself". Conversely, Tessa Berenson from Time magazine found the music video "a little creepy". In May 2018, in a music video countdown, Garry Sutton of Buzzfeed voted the video as Selena's' best music visual work.
Live performances and cover versions
Gomez gave her first televised rendition of "Hands to Myself" on Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which aired on December 8, 2015, performing it in a medley with Revival album track "Me & My Girls" while flanked by 14 female backup dancers. The performance was choreographed by Jermaine Browne. Gomez included "Hands to Myself" as part of her setlist for iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball Tour throughout December 2015. She performed the song with Taylor Swift at the second Los Angeles show of Swift's Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018.
As the music guest on Saturday Night Live on January 23, 2016, Gomez performed a bed choreography for the song. She started out singing on top a satin bed while a male dancer touched and danced around her. Then a second dancer appeared (a female) and joined them. On December 1, 2015, the Victoria's Secret Angels released a promotional video in which they lip-synced to "Hands to Myself". American band DNCE and Kings of Leon performed a cover of the song for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. American duo Niki & Gabi released a cover version of the song in February 2016. Australian pop-duo The Veronicas performed a cover of the song at The Edge in 2016. "Hands to Myself" was included on the setlist for Gomez's 2016 Revival Tour.

47789158 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sober%20%28Selena%20Gomez%20song%29 | Sober (Selena Gomez song) | "Sober" is a song by American singer Selena Gomez from her second solo studio album, Revival (2015), included as the fifth track on the record. The song was leaked two days prior the album's release, on October 7, 2015, and was originally scheduled to be released as the album's fifth single following "Kill Em with Kindness". Gomez collaborated with songwriters Chloe Angelides, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and Julia Michaels, along with Norwegian duo Tor Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen, who handled production under their stage name Stargate. Frequent collaborator Dreamlab handled the vocal production as well as background vocals. Driven to create a unique sound for herself, the singer focused on lyrics that reflected personal experiences, along with referencing influential albums of her youth, specifically Christina Aguilera's fourth studio album Stripped (2002).
"Sober" is a midtempo synth-pop power ballad based around an expansive 1980s-influenced song structure; the production features chunky beats and synth stabs. Inspired by social awkwardness after a night of drinking, the track describes a dysfunctional relationship which falls apart due to her lover's complex relationship with alcohol and how it changes their personality. "Sober" was well received by music critics, many of whom deemed it an album highlight. Praise was given to the track's emotional depth, vocal delivery, and production, while drawing comparisons to the works of Lorde, Tinashe, Sia, and Lana Del Rey. Upon release, "Sober" peaked on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at number 22.
Background
For the first time in her career, Gomez was given full creative control following her signing with Interscope Records. She expressed frustration and constraint with the songs chosen for her earlier in her career, and felt a disconnect from the music both personally and professionally. During the creation of Revival, the singer emphasized the importance of creating a distinct sound for herself, telling Nolan Feeney of Time that "there were times in my career where I sang things that just weren’t me and weren’t for me. You can hear it in my voice. You can hear it when it’s inauthentic." Gomez aimed to create autobiographical songs which shared personal stories, whether or not she wrote them. Citing the therapeutic process of writing "The Heart Wants What It Wants" for her greatest hits album For You (2014), the singer was inspired to separate herself from her peers and convert personal experiences into the music of Revival. For "Sober", Gomez focused on using her unique vocal tone and abilities as an actress to translate feelings and emotions through her music. The singer also told producers to focus primarily on the lyrics and vocals, referencing albums of her youth that dealt with themes of growing up in the spotlight, particularly Christina Aguilera's album Stripped (2002).
Being in full creative control, Gomez struggled on several songs including "Sober" to tell stories that were personal and elegant, yet "not over the top". To achieve her desired sound, she chose to work with multiple songwriters, including singer-songwriter Chloe Angelides. In an interview with Time, Gomez stated that for her, the track was not inspired by a single person, but instead about her experiences with drinking and social awkwardness, saying: "I would hang out with people and they would drink and they’re so fun, then the next day it would be weird." "Sober" was initially conceived during a late-night conversation between the singer and Angelides in a hotel hallway, where the pair exchanged their own personal stories on the topic. After Gomez left the hotel, Angelides wrote the lyrics to "Sober", and presented it to Gomez the following day.
Recording and release
After being shown the initial version of "Sober", Gomez brought the song to executive producers Tim Blacksmith and Danny D, who enlisted Norwegian duo Tor Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen, also known as StarGate, to work on the track. Their work during this time produced several songs for Revival, including "Same Old Love" and "Cologne". Additional songwriting and lyrics were written by Gomez, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and Julia Michaels. Gomez worked with Eriksen and Miles Walker to record the song at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles, California, as well as with Mike Anderson at The Hide Out Studios in London, England. Leah Haywood provided additional background vocals. Gomez's vocals were produced by American production team Dreamlab at Westlake, and the engineering was handled by Rob Ellmore with assistance from Daniela Rivera.
In its final stages, "Sober" was mixed by Phil Tan at Ninja Club Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. In a March 2017 interview with Mike Wass of Idolator, Hindlin, a personal friend of Gomez and the song's co-writer, revealed that "Sober" was intended to be the album's fifth single after "Kill Em with Kindness". He recounted having a meeting with the singer, where she expressed her readiness to move on from the Revival-era and release new music, telling him: 'I love you, but I'm ready to put out new stuff'."
Composition
"Sober" is a "booming" and "emotive" midtempo synthpop power ballad. Its "studded" and "shimmering" production consists of "chunky" beats, hand-claps, and dark '80s-influenced synthesizers. The chorus is characterized by shimmering vocal melodies, During the intro and outro of "Sober", the producers use a digitally manipulated, chopped and screwed vocal sample.
Lyrically the track is written about a failing relationship caused by a partner who abuses alcohol. The singer speaks of a man who faces a disconnect between his personality while drunk and sober, causing the inability to forge a connection. Gomez describes a lover who can only show his true emotions while intoxicated. Later in the song she expresses the pain she feels having wasted so much time into her relationship, and decides to leave her dysfunctional lover: "You've got a hold on me / You're like a wasted dream / I gave you everything / But you don't know how to love me when you're sober". During an interview with Nicole Mastrogiannis of iHeartRadio, the singer explained the meaning of the album track-by-track, saying that "Sober" was about being blinded by love in an unhealthy relationship: "It's easy to run away from your feelings, but I have to understand, and people need to understand, that you have to go through everything. You have to feel it. You gotta get through the other side as best as you can, and everyone has been in that situation where you can't help it. Even if it's not even that, it's like love drunk in a way."
Melissa Haggar of Concrete opined that the song is "an intimate reflection on how people can appear so different in certain lights." The song has been compared to the works of Tinashe and Lana Del Rey by Vulture writer Lindsay Zoladz. Additionally, Idolator writer Mike Wass compared the song to the music of other "relatable-pop" artists, such as Alessia Cara and Lorde. Katherine St. Asaph of Time magazine noted that "Sober" was "disarmingly peppy" and set to "the sort of story you’d find in an Evanescence single".
Critical reception
Upon its release, "Sober" received positive reviews from music critics, with several declaring it an album highlight. Comparing its production to the works of Australian recording artist Sia, George Griffiths of Redbrick deemed it the best song of Gomez's career; praising its placement as the album's musical centerpiece. He elaborated that the themes of empowerment and vulnerability present throughout Revival coalesced into "Sober" "more clearly and coherently than you could ever have imagined". In her review, Concrete writer Melissa Haggar called "Sober" a key example of the personal and meaningful lyrics behind Revival, calling the track "somber and satisfying". Haggar went on to say that the singer: "reflects similar melancholy emotions in bonus tracks like the bittersweet ballad 'Nobody' and the sweeping 'Cologne', which display her more vulnerable side." Idolator writer Mike Wass felt that the track was among the album's best tracks, and compared it to Alessia Cara's single "Here" from her debut album Know-It-All (2015) and Lorde's debut album Pure Heroine (2013), saying "With the rise of relatable-pop, this bittersweet pop anthem should get a warm reception at radio. Emo posturing doesn't get any catchier."
Vulture writer Lindsay Zoladz called "Sober" a standout, suggesting that it receive the single treatment "or — better yet — turned into a he-said/she-said mash-up with the Weeknd's 'The Hills'." Katherine St. Asaph of Time noted that although the middle section of most albums tend to be filler, on Revival it contains the standout tracks, including "Sober". Writing for Entertainment Focus, Pip Ellwood-Hughes noted that the song contained the best vocals on the album, declaring it as a standout track along with "Kill Em With Kindness", "Hands to Myself", and "Good for You". Mike Nied of Idolator declared that "Sober" deserved to be released as a single.

47789163 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me%20%26%20the%20Rhythm | Me & the Rhythm | "Me & the Rhythm" is a song by American singer Selena Gomez from her second solo studio album Revival (2015), included as the eighth track on the record. It was released on October 2, 2015 to digital download platforms as the album's first and only promotional single. The song was written by Gomez, Justin Tranter, and Julia Michaels, along with its producers Robin Fredriksson and Mattias Larsson, known as Mattman & Robin. "Me & the Rhythm" was the last song recorded for Revival, conceived after Gomez delayed the album's mixing to record more material with Michaels and Tranter. Gomez has called the track a personal favorite from the album.
"Me & the Rhythm" is a dance, disco, and synth-pop song, while its production contains steel drums, deep house beats, "pulsating" percussion and "smoky" synths throughout its instrumentation. Lyrically, the track addresses the concepts of losing yourself on the dance floor and being free in the moment. "Me & the Rhythm" was well received by contemporary music critics, with praise directed at its vintage disco sound and Gomez's sultry vocals. The promote the song, the singer appeared on The Today Show to perform a set which included a medley of "Me & the Rhythm" and "Come & Get It". The track was included on the setlist for the singer's 2016 Revival Tour.
Recording and release
Following the unexpected success of "Good for You" on 2015 music charts worldwide, Gomez met with Interscope representatives to request that the album's mixing be delayed in order to record additional music with "Good for You" songwriters Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter. After their previous collaboration, Gomez became "super obsessed" with Michaels and Tranter, and felt that they created "magic" in the studio, with the singer going on to say she "felt like Julia was me and I was Julia." Her label authorized the delay and the team worked for four days, ultimately creating three songs, two of which appeared on the record: "Hands to Myself" and "Me & the Rhythm". "Me & the Rhythm" was written by Gomez, Tranter, Michaels and production team Mattman & Robin (Mattias Larsson and Robin Fredriksson). The latter also produced the track, as well as being responsible for programming, drums, percussion, synths, bass and vocal production. Michaels provided background vocals. Serban Ghenea was in charge of the mixing, while John Hanes was the mixing engineer. It was recorded and mixed at Wolf Cousins Studios, Maratone Studios in Stockholm, Sweden and Interscope Studios in Santa Monica, California.
As the last song created for Revival, Gomez has called "Me & the Rhythm" a personal favorite from the record. When asked about collaborating with Gomez, Michaels commented: "I think Selena is a lot like Justin [Tranter] and I, in the way that…when you find something that you feel connected to, and it's real and it's honest, you don't let it go. You see where it can lead you." A snippet of the track was first teased along with the official artwork on September 26, 2015. Later, the song was fully released as the album's first and only promotional single, a week before album release on October 9, followed by the album's two singles, "Good for You" and "Same Old Love" (2015).
Composition
"Me & the Rhythm" was described as a dance, disco, and synth-pop song, with an instrumentation consisting of deep house beats, steel drums, smoky synths and pulsating percussion. Its opening "pulsing beats" were compared to "1970s Donna Summer disco jams" by Samantha Schnurr of E! Online, while Zach Dionne of Fuse likened the song to Carly Rae Jepsen's album Emotion; Digital Spy's Lewis Corner felt the track had a "seductive '80s groove." Mike Wass of Idolator noted that the song is "the most obvious link between the 'Stars Dance' and 'Revival' eras," comparing it to Kylie Minogue circa Fever (especially "Come into My World"), and Body Talk-era Robyn.
Lyrically, "Me & the Rhythm" is about losing one's inhibitions while dancing. According to Gomez, "[I]t's not about love. It's just about feeling that moment and being present. Everyone's on their phones, everyone's doing this, and it's just about you and what you're experiencing in that moment." During the bridge, Gomez gives a "Janet Jackson-esque" rap verse.
Critical reception
"Me & the Rhythm" received acclaim from contemporary music critics. Andrea Navarro of Teen Vogue praised the song and called it a "sultry" jam. Tim Sendra of AllMusic picked the track as one of the album's highlights, noting that Gomez "sounds most at home" on the track, "where the smoothness of her voice fits in with the vacant abandon of the beat." Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone applauded the song for "find[ing] her sounding completely in control of her own euphoria", while appreciating "[h]er brand of sexiness" for having "a coy, subtle quality that never tries too hard." Mike Wass of Idolator called it "breathy" synthpop, but noted that there is "simplicity and sophistication" to the track's production that sets it apart. Wass also praised the fact that "her casual disinterest is perfectly suited to the icy, quintessentially Scandinavian arrangement."
In another review, he also highlighted that the song is "a pop anthem with an unexpected twist" and that it has "an air of sophistication to the arrangement and vocal delivery that sets it apart." Samantha Schnurr of E! Online remarked that Gomez "has definitely found her rhythm" on the track, calling it "[e]qually as catchy as her first single," also observing that "Gomez's signature airy vocals are on full blast backed by an upbeat tempo perfect for strutting out on the dance floor in a pair of platform heels." Lewis Corner of Digital Spy praised the song, noting that it had a seductive "'80s groove". Writing for Fuse, Zach Dionne was very positive, defining the track as "[e]qual parts romantic and club-ready," while declaring that it "might be our favorite 'Revival' tune to date."
Commercial performance
After being released as a promotional single, "Me & the Rhythm" entered the Canadian Hot 100 at number 57. Around the same time, it failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100, however, it peaked inside of the Bubbling Under Hot 100, which acts as an extension of the former chart, reaching number six. On October 10, 2015, it entered at number 165 on the French Singles Chart, peaking on its second and final week at number 143. On the Czech and Slovak Singles Digitál Top 100 chart the song peaked at numbers 83 and 68, respectively.

The competitions were held in the Olympic Equestrian Centre in Rio, in September 2016.
Classification
Riders are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allowed riders to compete against others with a similar level of function.
Athletes are classified according to their functional ability when mounted across four grades and five categories (Ia and Ib, II, III and IV). The grading determines the complexity of the movements riders perform with their horses during their tests, ensuring that the tests are judged on the skill of the rider, regardless of their impairment. Riders may use permitted assistive devices such as dressage whips, connecting rein bars looped reins, and the like. Riders who have visual impairments are permitted to use 'callers' to help them navigate around the arena.
Riders with recovering or deteriorating conditions such as MS are eligible but must have been reclassified within six months of a World Championships or Paralympic Games to ensure their classification is correct.
Specialised equipment including prostheses is only allowed where it has been specifically approved.
Qualification
The following teams and individuals have attained quota places for the 2016 Summer Paralympics Equestrian event. On 25 March, FEI announced that France and Russia, having achieved multiple quota places for individuals, would be able to field composite teams in the team competition, bringing the total number of teams in that event to 16.

47789401 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele%20Kuby | Gabriele Kuby | Gabriele Kuby (born 1944 in Konstanz, Germany) is a German writer and sociologist. She is a Catholic convert and noted for Traditionalist Catholic ideas and orthodox positions on sexuality and gender, which are stated in works like The Global Sexual Revolution: The Destruction of Freedom in the Name of Freedom. She also became known for criticizing the morality of the Harry Potter series.
Personal life
Kuby is the daughter of Erich Kuby, sister of Clemens Kuby, and niece to Werner Heisenberg and E. F. Schumacher. Kuby is mother of three children, holds a degree in sociology earned at Berlin, and completed her master's degree in Konstanz. Her daughter, Sophia Kuby, a devout Catholic convert, is a pro-life activist and lobbyist since her own conversion in the year 2000.
Positions
World Congress of Families (WCF)
The World Congress of Families (WCF) organizes regular conferences. It is a United States coalition promoting Christian right values, opposing same-sex marriage, pornography, and abortion. The Southern Poverty Law Center included WCF to the list of organizations it considers as anti-LGBT hate groups. In 2014, the WCF conference scheduled in Moscow was suspended following the Russo-Ukrainian War. A congress happened without official presence of the WCF. The chair of one of the organizations involved, Concerned Women for America, said: “We have decided not to go to Russia. I do not want to give the impression of granting comfort and assistance to Vladimir Putin.” Gabriele Kuby nonetheless attended the conference, stating that "Central and Eastern European nations" in particular had "begun to recognize that membership in the European Union has its costs (...) the forced destruction of their own value system".
Conservatism
Gabriele Kuby advocates for conservative and Christian-Catholic socio-political positions, in which she defends the positions of the church's teachings.
In the observance of traditional sexual norms, she sees an important existential question of Christianity. She defends celibacy and sees the sexual abuse of children as a problem of society and not as a specific problem of the Roman Catholic Church. She believes that the media's coverage of the issue in connection with the Church is an attempt to "force the Church to its knees."
Attitude towards chastity
In August 2010, Kuby spoke at the "Joy in Faith" congress in Fulda about the Christian virtue concept of chastity. The lecture was published in a revised form in the specialist journal Theologisches. Kuby defended the virtue of chastity against what she saw as unrestrained and watered-down sexual morality. She describes the virtue of chastity as having been "disposed of" during and after the 68 student movement.
Criticism of contraception and abortion
Regarding contraception and abortion, she addresses the demographic development at the national level and describes Germans as a "dying nation" and Germany as a "nursing home."
Criticism of kindergartens
Kuby is against the care of children under the age of three in day-care centers, as she believes that this leads to irreversible attachment damage that only fully manifests itself during puberty. According to Kuby, day-care centers in Sweden have led to "one in three children [...] having psychological problems." In this context, she also criticizes the fact that the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs considers "gender mainstreaming" to be an essential task of politics, neglecting the promotion of families and measures against the growing social and psychological distress of children and adolescents.
Criticism of sex education
In the summer of 2007, Kuby accused the German federal government and some state governments in an essay in the Junge Freiheit newspaper of "sexualizing" children from an early age and promoting gay and lesbian lifestyles in schools with educational brochures such as "Körper, Liebe, Doktorspiele" ("Body, Love, Doctor's Games"), with the aim of eliminating the differentiation between male and female genders.
Attitudes towards LGBT
Kuby does not consider all "sexual orientations" ("hetero-, homo-, bi-, trans[sexual]") and every form of sexuality ("gay, lesbian, bi-, trans-, metrosexual – anal and oral sex") to be of equal value, and refers to acceptance of non heterosexual orientation and self-determination of gender identity as "madness".
Kuby adheres to the classification of anti-homosexuals and the ex-gay movement. For her, both transsexuality and homosexuality are both a sexual orientation and a disorder of gender identity.
According to Gabriele Kuby, the decision by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1973 to remove homosexuality from the DSM-II marked a significant "reversal" in societal attitudes towards homosexuality, and she describes the Gay Liberation Front as operating "aggressively and manipulatively " within the APA . She describes same-sex relationship as rarely permanent and opposes same-sex marriage. She regrets that one can now face opposition for saying that homosexuality is "a use of the body that does not correspond to its design (common sense)" "is a disregard of God's plan of creation" or "poses a significant health and psychological risk".
She views homophobia as a "neologism coined in the late 1960s by psychoanalyst and homosexual activist Georg Weinberg to defame people who reject homosexuality as neurotic."
Jordan Peterson
In an interview with LifeSiteNews, Gabriele Kuby expresses both admiration and disappointment towards Jordan Peterson. She commends him for refusing to use chosen pronouns of actor Elliot Page in his tweets, saying he had qualities of a "hero". However, during the same interview, she voices her disapproval of Peterson's podcast with Dave Rubin. In that podcast, Peterson had discussed his friend's same-sex marriage and declared that same-sex marriage had become a part of the marriage structure.
She says Jordan Peterson sacrificed the title of his previous essay "we are sacrificing our children on the altar of a brutal, far-left ideology", arguing that "this is what we are doing with gay marriage and artificial reproduction".
Kuby sent an open letter to Jordan Peterson where she says: "You seem to have given in to the immense cultural pressure of the sexual revolution, and for that, I am deeply disappointed." She accuses him of "tearing down the walls of the anthropological foundation of human existence".
Harry Potter
In 2002, Kuby published her first critical book on Harry Potter, "Harry Potter - The Global Push into Occult Heathenism," and in 2003, a second book, "Harry Potter - Good or Evil?" After doubts about the Vatican's stance on Harry Potter arose in the media, she sent her first book to then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. In his response letter, he wrote: "It is good that you clarify things about Harry Potter, because these are subtle seductions that work invisibly and deeply, and that corrode Christianity in the soul before it has a chance to grow." After Ratzinger was elected pope, his judgment on Harry Potter received worldwide media attention.

47789444 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%20Augustus%20Conquest | George Augustus Conquest | George Augustus Oliver Conquest (4 May 1837–14 May 1901) was a playwright, theatrical manager, acrobat and pantomimist described as "the most stunning actor-acrobat of his time".
Early life and family
Conquest was born in 1837, the son of Clarissa Ann née Roxbey (c. 1804–1867) and theatrical manager Benjamin Conquest (c. 1804 – 12 July 1872). He was educated in France. In 1857 he married Elizabeth Ozmond (died 1890), with whom he had eleven children, including Lydia, Elizabeth, Amy, Louisa, Daisy, Laura and Ada, and three sons who were also active in the theatre, George Conquest (1858–1926), Fred Conquest (1871–1941) and Arthur Conquest (1875–1945).
Career
In 1851, Benjamin Conquest acquired the Grecian Theatre and Eagle Tavern in the City Road, Hackney, London. The theatre had previously produced light opera and was originally a music hall, but Conquest senior switched to Shakespeare which was unsuccessful. He then tried melodrama which was more popular and he produced over 100 such shows written by George, often adapted from French productions. George was also an acrobat and pantomimist and produced and appeared in nearly 50 pantomimes with Henry Spry.
George helped to run the Grecian and inherited it on his father's death. The theatre was rebuilt in 1858, again in 1876, and sold in 1879 following which George Conquest went on a tour of the United States in 1880 in The Grim Goblin, which had played with great success at the Grecian in 1876. Conquest and his company arrived in New York in July 1880 and began rehearsals before opening in New York at Wallack's Theatre on 16 August 1880.
Conquest was seriously injured in a stage accident on opening night of The Grim Goblin at Wallack's, as described in an account in The New York Clipper:
Just before the close of the piece, Mr. Conquest and his son attempted "phantom flights", which terminated in a sad disaster. Mr. Conquest made a diagonal ascent from the stage to the flies where he caught a horizontal bar out of the sight of the audience, and then grasped a rope, by which he was to have been lowered to the stage. The flight was successfully accomplished, but after he had grasped the rope and had descended a few feet it parted, and Mr. Conquest fell a long distance, striking the stage with a heavy thud. Assistance was promptly given, and a well-known physician, who chanced to be in a private box, was speedily at his side. The performances were hurriedly finished, and the curtain fell. During the excitement behind the scenes, and the infux of strangers to learn the result of the accident, many exaggerated reports naturally galned circulation, and among these was one which subsequently found its way into print, to the effect that the broken rope gave evidence of having been cut.
Following the accident, the theatre remained closed for two days while the company investigated the cause of the accident and rehearsed a fresh opening, with George Conquest Jr. in his father's part. Although the elder George Conquest eventually recovered from his fractured hip his acrobatic career was over. The pantomime could not go on without him appearing and the public quickly lost interest in it. Cancellations came from the managers of theatres where the production was to tour, and Theodore Moss, who had brought the production to Wallack's, claimed to have lost $10,000.
Later life
Conquest returned to England and took over the Surrey Theatre in Lambeth in 1881, staging melodramas and pantomimes as he had at the Grecian. In March 1891 he played the Greek, Ciro Panitza in My Jack, and in 1893 the Miser in Mankind. The last production in which he appeared was Sinbad and the Little Old Man of the Sea &c. with Dan Leno and wife in 1897. His last recorded appearance was at a benefit for Charles Cruikshanks in 1898. His son George took over the theatre on his father's death.
Death
Conquest died of a heart attack at his home in Brixton Hill on 14 May 1901. Hundreds of people came to his funeral at West Norwood Cemetery, and flowers were sent by Henry Irving, J. L. Toole, Herbert Campbell and Dan Leno, among others. He left an estate valued at £64,000.
Of him, his old friend and collaborator Henry Spry wrote:
I have known George Conquest over forty-six years, and never knew him to be guilty of a mean or ungenerous action. He was one of the best and truest of friends a man ever could have. He was a thorough business man, conducting all his affairs himself in a most methodical manner, so that he has left everything perfectly straight and clear. A most faithful and loving husband, and ask his nine children what sort of a father he was.

47789458 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garage%20Beat%20%2766%20Volume%203%3A%20Feeling%20Zero... | Garage Beat '66 Volume 3: Feeling Zero... | Garage Beat '66 Volume 3: Feeling Zero... is a compilation album featuring rare material recorded by American psychedelic and garage rock bands that were active in the 1960s. The album's contents are sourced from the original master tapes. It is the third installment of the Garage Beat '66 series and was released on April 27, 2004, on Sundazed Records.
The album marks a point in the series in which the musical content began branching out to compile fuzz-drenched psychedelia and more standard pop rock-influenced numbers. Musical highlights include "Mother Nature/Father Earth", a rare 1968 single by the proto-punk band the Music Machine. The Preachers are represented with their snarling take of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?", which received attention with its inclusion on Pebbles, Volume 1. Additional highlights include the Brogues' Pretty Things-inspired "Don't Shoot Me Down", Southwest F.O.B.'s cover version of "Smell of Incense", which became a moderate national hit, and the E-Types' harmonized pop song "She Moves Me". Further exploration into psychedelia is evident with the track "Feeling Zero" by the San Francisco group Neighb'rhood Childr'n.
Garage Beat '66 Volume 3: Feeling Zero... was strictly released to compact disc, and, like other albums in the series, is commended for its good sound-quality.

47789495 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege%20of%20Collioure%20%281794%29 | Siege of Collioure (1794) | The siege of Collioure (6 – 29 May 1794) saw a Republican French army led by Jacques François Dugommier invest the French port of Collioure held by a Spanish garrison commanded by Eugenio Navarro. The actual siege work was carried out by Pierre François Sauret's reinforced division. After the three-and-a-half-week War of the Pyrenees siege, the Spanish fleet sent to evacuate the garrison was blown off station by a storm. Navarro surrendered the town on the promise to exchange the paroled garrison for an equal number of French prisoners. After the defenders were released, the Spanish army commander Luis Fermín de Carvajal, Conde de la Unión refused to authorize the agreement or return any French captives. The infuriated French government afterward passed a decree ordering death to all Spanish prisoners and some units carried out the brutal order.
Background
On 16 January 1794 Jacques François Dugommier replaced Eustache Charles d'Aoust as commander-in-chief of the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees. Aoust was condemned and executed by guillotine on 2 July 1794. Dugommier had an advantage over previous commanders of the army because he came as the victor of the Siege of Toulon which ended on 19 December 1793. He was also a member of the National Convention and therefore part of the political establishment. Until Dugommier's accession, the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees had been under the control of arrogant representatives on mission who abused their authority to remarkable degree. This situation now changed.
Dugommier enjoyed good relations with the new representatives Édouard Jean Baptiste Milhaud and Pierre Soubrany. At first the two removed a large number of army officers in an indiscriminate manner. Unlike the earlier representatives, they interfered less in military matters and devoted themselves to obtaining supplies for the army. For example, they managed to get forage for horses and mules delivered that was previously held up by the Army of the Alps officials at Lyon. Dugommier organized the best soldiers into battalions of light infantry, which were a success, and grenadiers, which were a failure. He also separated the better troops into combat units and the worst men into garrison units. Some soldiers had been using fowling pieces. Except for 5,000 or 6,000 muskets, the inefficient infantry weapons were all replaced with good firearms. Under Dugommier, the artillery, cavalry and hospitals all saw some improvement.
The Army of the Eastern Pyrenees received 10,500 troops from Toulon, up to 7,000 reinforcements from the Army of the Western Pyrenees and 6,000 men from training camps at Toulouse. Dugommier welded these into a field army of 28,000 trained soldiers and 5,000 recruits, placing 25,000 men in training camps or garrisons. Pierre Augereau's 6,300-man right wing division soon emerged as the best unit in the army due to frequent drilling. Catherine-Dominique de Pérignon commanded the 12,500-strong center, Pierre François Sauret the 5,000-man left wing, Claude Perrin Victor the 3,000-strong Reserve and André de La Barre the 2,000 cavalry troopers. An independent division operated in the Cerdagne farther inland, but its commander Luc Siméon Auguste Dagobert died on 21 May 1794 and was replaced by François Amédée Doppet.
Antonio Ricardos, the commander of the Spanish Army of Catalonia died on 13 March 1794, supposedly after drinking a poisoned drink intended for Manuel Godoy, the close adviser of King Charles IV. His successor Alejandro O'Reilly died ten days later and the king appointed Luis Firmín de Carvajal, Conde de la Unión to lead the army. The interim commander Jerónimo Girón-Moctezuma, Marquis de las Amarillas fortified Le Boulou in the Tech River valley. When La Unión arrived to take command at the end of April, he set up his headquarters at Céret.
Augereau lured La Unión into pushing 8,000 troops of his left wing forward, which suited Dugommier's strategy. There were 8,000 Spanish at Le Boulou in the center and 6,900 on the coast at Collioure. Between the Spanish center and right yawned a large gap. Dugommier ordered Sauret to watch the Spanish at Collioure while he hurled Pérignon powerful center division into the gap. The Battle of Boulou on 30 April–1 May was a French victory. The Spanish suffered 2,000 killed and wounded and 1,500 captured. Forcing their enemies to flee over the mountains to Spain, the French seized 150 cannons, 1,800 horses and mules and the entire Spanish baggage train while sustaining minimal casualties.
Siege
Though Dugommier paused for four days after his victory, its consequences came quickly. Without orders, Augereau moved forward to capture Sant Llorenç de la Muga (San Lorenzo de la Muga) on 6 May. At the same time Sauret and Victor invested Collioure while Pérignon blockaded the Fort de Bellegarde. There were too many sieges for the French to carry out. The Committee of Public Safety had ordered that the coastal towns be recaptured and Dugommier had ignored these instructions when he fought at Boulou. Now Dugommier determined to take Collioure. Its garrison under Eugenio Navarro numbered 7,000 men and 91 guns and included the French Royalist Légion de la Reine.
On 6 May, a 17-ship French squadron unloaded the siege equipment. That day Captain Jacques Castanié led his ships in a bombardment of the coastal forts. Dugommier employed the divisions of Sauret and La Barre, altogether 14,000 soldiers. Aside from the cavalry, there were five infantry brigades under Jean-Jacques Causse, Jean François Micas, Louis Pelletier, Jean Simon Pierre Pinon and Victor. The siege artillery consisted of 16 24-pound cannons, six 12-pound cannons, two 12-inch mortars and four 8-inch mortars. Nine 24-pound cannons opened fire on Fort Saint-Elme on 10 May. The fort is situated between Collioure and Port-Vendres and overlooks both ports.
On the evening of 16 May, Navarro launched a sortie against the French siege lines in which Dugommier was wounded. The Spanish soldiers nearly caught the French army commander, but he was rescued by a body of grenadiers from the 28th Demi-brigade. The French finally pushed their adversaries back into the forts. On 23 May Dugommier ordered an attack on Fort Saint-Elme which failed due to poor coordination. The garrison asked for surrender terms, but the French conditions were too harsh, so the defenders slipped away to Collioure and Port-Vendres. The French siege guns quickly reduced Port-Vendres and its garrison retreated to Collioure. On 24 May Navarro received news that Admiral Federico Carlos Gravina y Nápoli was on his way with a fleet to evacuate his troops.
On 26 May, just as Gravina was about to drop anchor off Collioure, a storm drove his fleet away. Accordingly, Navarro capitulated to Dugommier on the pledge to allow his 7,000 troops to return to Spain in exchange for releasing the same number of French prisoners. The term stipulated that neither the French nor the Spanish prisoners were to fight against the other side for the remainder of the war. Navarro was supposed to deliver up the Royalist legion, but he instead sent them away in small craft. If the Royalists had fallen into the hands of the French they would have been shot. The French overlooked this difficulty but were infuriated by what followed.
After 7,000 Spanish troops were returned, La Unión refused to give up any French prisoners. He justified his decision by stating that the surrender was void without his consent and that Navarro had no authority to release French prisoners. He refused to abide by terms whereby his returned Spanish troops were not eligible to fight the French but that any returned French troops might be used against Spain's allies. He declared that Dugommier should be satisfied with possession of the coastal forts and their contents. When Dugommier furiously wrote to La Unión, asking him to reconsider, the Spanish army commander offered to submit the case to the United States of America for arbitration.
Consequences
An enraged Dugommier wrote to the National Convention demanding that no Spanish prisoners be taken. Augereau also insisted that his soldiers wanted a "War to the Death". On 11 August 1794 the Convention passed a law that no more Spanish prisoners would be accepted. Augereau and his division carried out the policy of killing all Spanish soldiers that fell into their hands, while Dugommier was not as keen on explicitly following through on the decree. In the Battle of San Lorenzo de la Muga on 13 August, Augereau's men killed 80 officers and 1,256 soldiers while taking only 140 prisoners. On the other hand, when the 1,000-man Spanish garrison surrendered on 17 September after the Second Siege of Bellegarde, their lives were spared. The Army of the Western Pyrenees accepted the surrender of 2,000 Spanish soldiers at Fuentarrabía on 1 August and 1,700 more at San Sebastián the next day.
The Spanish did not retaliate against the French for carrying out their draconian law. Instead, La Unión wrote to Charles IV that it would be better to treat French prisoners with more kindness than before and the king affirmed the policy. The French admitted to only 150 casualties during the Siege of Collioure while the Spanish recorded 160 killed and wounded. The French captured 91 guns and 22 colors. One source stated that the Spanish garrison numbered 8,000 soldiers and that 7,000 surrendered.

47789544 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenzo%20Garioni | Vincenzo Garioni | Vincenzo Garioni (19 November 1856 – 24 April 1929) was an Italian general who saw combat in the Boxer Rebellion, Italo-Turkish War, and World War I. He was the governor of Tripolitania from 1913 to 1914 and later served as the governor of both Tripolitania and Cyrenaica from 1918 to 1919.
Biography
Garioni was born in Biadene, Italy, on 19 November 1856. He began his career in the Royal Army () as a second lieutenant in the Bersaglieri ("Sharpshooters") in 1875. After attending the War School, he assumed duty with the army general staff. Promoted to colonnello ("colonel"), he commanded of the Italian Expeditionary Corps in China, part of the expeditionary force of the Eight-Nation Alliance sent to China in 1900 to put down the Boxer Rebellion. From July 1902 to June 1905 he directed Office I. Subsequently, as a major general, he commanded the Casale Brigade, the Roma Brigade, and the Infantry Application School () . In 1911 he was promoted to lieutenant general and briefly commanded of the Padua Division.
The Italo-Turkish War with the Ottoman Empire broke out in September 1911 when Italy invaded Libya, and Garioni participated in the war as commanding officer of the 5th Special Division, which included the 11th ‘’Bersaglieri’’ Regiment, 60th Infantry Regiment, 1st Grenadier Battalion, 28th ‘’Bersaglieri’’ Battalion, 6th and 7th Eritrean Battalions, three artillery batteries, and an engineering company, divided into two columns, one under the command of General Clemente Lequio and the other under Colonel General (later General) Alberto Cavaciocchi. Along with another veteran of the Boxer Rebellion, Luigi Agliardi, Garioni was assigned the task of conquering Zuwarah and Ghadames in western and northwestern Tripolitania on the border with Tunisia. During the campaign, he led the occupation of Sidi Said at the end of June 1912, then took the hill Sidi Alì, east of Sidi Said, on 14 July 1912. On 15 August 1912 he moved inland and conquered Sidi Abd el-Samad, from Zuwarah. Another column led by General Tullio Tassoni then arrived to assist his troops.
The war ended in Italy’s defeat of the Ottoman Empire in October 1912, and one of its results was the addition of the provinces of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica to the Italian Empire. In June 1913, Garioni was appointed governor of Italian Tripolitania, a position he held until the end of 1914, when he obtained command of the VII Army Corps in Ancona. In January 1915, the VII Army Corps brought relief to Avezzano and Fucino after they suffered severe damage in a major earthquake on 13 January.
When Italy entered World War I in May 1915, Garioni still was in command of the VII Army Corps at the time consisting of the 13th and 14th Divisions and the 2nd Artillery Regiment and briefly found himself temporarily in command of the 3rd Army until Prince Emanuele Filiberto, Duke of Aosta, arrived to take command of the army. Serving on the Italian front until 1918, he subsequently commanded the VI Army Corps and II Army Corps. He saw action in the various Battles of the Isonzo, and for his command’s crossing of the Isonzo at the Slovenian settlement of Plave (Italian: Plava) in June 1915 during the First Battle of the Isonzo he received the Silver Medal of Military Valor. His command of the II Army Corps included its participation under the 2nd Army in the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo in August 1916.
On 5 August 1918 Garioni again became governor of Tripolitania as well as governor regent of Cyrenaica. He arrived in Tripoli in Tripolitania on 18 August 1918 tasked with crushing an Arab revolt. After the Allied defeat of Ottoman and German Empire forces in the Battle of Megiddo in Palestine in September 1918 and of Austria-Hungary in the Battle of Vittorio Veneto on the Italian front in late October and early November 1918, Ottoman and German military advisers to the Arab rebel forces in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica abandoned them, leaving them torn by internal strife. Arab rebel attacks against Italian garrisons in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica declined, allowing Garioni to seize the initiative and put down the rebellion.
Relinquishing both governorships on 17 May 1919, Garioni returned to Italy. He retired from active service that year and died at Venice on 24 April 1929.

47789705 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobbosseecontee%20Lake | Cobbosseecontee Lake | Lake Cobbosseecontee (, also known as Cobbossee Lake, is a lake located in the towns of Litchfield, Manchester, Monmouth, West Gardiner, and Winthrop in the U.S. state of Maine. It is the largest lake in the Winthrop Lakes Region at deep, covering about in surface area, a length of , and a shoreline of . The word Cobbosseecontee translates to "plenty of sturgeon" in Wabanaki.
Recreation and physical characteristics
Lake Cobbosseecontee is known for its beautifully irregular shape, which consists of numerous glacial coves, jetties, and islands. It also has the only active inland waters lighthouse in Maine, Ladies' Delight Light. The high lighthouse, constructed in 1908, is under the ownership and care of the Cobbosseecontee Yacht Club (which changed its name to Cobbosseecontee Lake Association in 2022). Founded in 1904, the club is one of the oldest continually operating inland yacht clubs in the United States. The lighthouse marks the northern edge of a jagged underwater reef that runs down the middle of the lake. The archipelago of islands and exposed ledges are the visible high points of that reef. A state-owned public launch is located on the southwest shore of the lake in East Monmouth. Low hills and ridges surround the lake, and Monks Hill and Allen Hill rise a few miles north of the lake, while a gray line of hills form a barrier near Sabattus.
There are many year-round homes and cottages along the shoreline, with some new developments and gentrification having occurred steadily since the 1990s. The lake is home to Camp Cobbossee, Camp Kippewa, Pilgrim Lodge, and the YMCA Camp of Maine and had been the site of Camp Yukon, which is now just called Yukon Cottages, but which had been founded by Chief Smith in the year 1914 and served several generations of kids as a sleep away summer camp for kids from 6 years of age to teenagers who served as junior counselors.
Water quality
Between the 1960s and the early 2000s, Lake Cobbosseecontee's water quality was impaired by severe algae blooms and murky water clarity during the hot summer months, both of which impacted recreation and fish populations quite extensively. However, several cleanup efforts began to surface in the 1970s, likely inspired in part by the EPA's Clean Water Act. A few decades later, the actions had proven successful, and Cobbosseecontee's water quality rapidly improved throughout the 90's and 2000's as phosphorus runoff decreased and the natural springs that feed the lake began to "flush out" many of the remaining pollutants. , Cobboseecontee's water quality rivaled that of other clearwater lakes, with many boaters able to see over down, on occasion.
Fishing
The lake is nationally recognized as one of the best fishing lakes in America, mostly due to its impressive populations of Largemouth bass and Northern Pike. Despite both species being considered invasive in Maine, many anglers flock to Cobbosseecontee each season to hunt down these aggressive predators. There are also many other types of popular fish that can be found in the lake, including brook trout, brown trout, rainbow smelt, white perch, yellow perch, bullheads, sunfish and crappie. A popular bass fishing technique on Cobbosseecontee involves casting or slowly trolling around the lake's numerous islands, coves, and ledges during the summer months, while the pike are subsequently most active in these same areas during winter.

47789745 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Marshall%20%28snooker%20player%29 | Robert Marshall (snooker player) | Robert Marshall (born 25 August 1964) is an English former professional snooker player.
Career
Marshall reached the last 32 at the non-ranking 1987 English Professional Championship, recording victories over Bill Oliver, 6–3 at the last-64 stage, and 6–4 against Pat Houlihan. In his last-32 match, Marshall in turn led Willie Thorne 3–1, but lost 3–6. After winning his first professional play-off match against Darren Clarke 10–5, compiling his first century break, an effort of 106, in the process, he finished the season ranked 119th.
Marshall's second season on tour brought mild success, with runs to the last 64 at the 1989 Classic and the last 32 at that year's British Open. In the former, he overcame Ian Black 5–0 and Ray Edmonds 5–2 before losing 1–5 to Tony Drago; the latter featured wins over Jim Chambers, Kirk Stevens and Bob Chaperon, but ended with a 1–5 defeat to Thorne.
At the 1989 International Open, Marshall reached the last-16 stage, defeating Paul Watchorn, Colin Roscoe, Dean Reynolds and Eddie Charlton before exiting 3–5 to Welshman Cliff Wilson. He registered the best performance of his career at the 1990 British Open, where his opponents en route to the semi-final included Nigel Gilbert, David Roe, Joe Johnson, Eugene Hughes and Steve Newbury. Drawn against Chaperon, Marshall led the Canadian 3–2 but, on this occasion, lost 5–9 to the eventual champion.
Ranked at a career-best 46th for the 1990/1991 season, Marshall defeated Tony Wilson of the Isle of Man, fellow Englishman Mark Johnston-Allen and South African Peter Francisco - all 10–9 - to qualify for the main stages of the 1991 World Championship, his first appearance at the Crucible Theatre. In his last-32 match against Reynolds, he led 4–2 but went on to lose 8–10.
The following season proved fruitless, and Marshall began 1992/1993 ranked 70th. By 1994, he had fallen further; although he won five matches to reach the last 64 at the 1995 Thailand Open - where he lost 2–5 to Jason Wallace - he concluded the season having slipped to 162nd. He had made a break of 133 in his 1995 World Championship qualifying match against Kieran McMahon, but lost 4–5 to the Northern Irishman and did not play professionally again; he was relegated from the tour in 1996, aged 31.
After seventeen years out of the competitive game, Marshall entered Event 3 of the 2013 European Tour as an amateur, but lost his pre-qualifying match 3–4 to Oliver Brown.

47789769 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava%20Fire%20%282012%29 | Lava Fire (2012) | The Lava Fire was a wildfire that burned over of Oregon rangeland during the summer of 2012. The fire began on 23 July 2012, the result of a lightning strike. The fire consumed rangeland vegetation and scrub forest located in and around lava beds in northern Lake County. The burned area was on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management including a large area within a wilderness study area. Firefighters battled the blaze for over three weeks. At the peak of the firefighting effort, there were over 275 personnel working on the fire.
Origin
In late July 2012, a thunderstorm passed over northern Lake County in south central Oregon. A lightning strike from the storm started a wildfire on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, approximately northeast of Fort Rock, Oregon. The fire was reported in the late morning of 23 July. The bureau named it the Lava Fire.
A combination of hot dry weather and gusty winds created dangerous fire conditions in the Fort Rock area. As a result, the creeping fire ignited by the original lightning strike began to burn more actively. Firefighters battled the blaze for the next several weeks as the fire consumed public rangeland and scrub forest in and around remote lava beds on the Lakeview Bureau of Land Management District.
Chronology
On 23 July, a fire was reported on public land about northeast of the small unincorporated community of Fort Rock in northern Lake County, Oregon. Initially, the Bureau of Land Management dispatched five pumper engines and two water tenders to the fire. Over the next two days, warm temperatures and gusty winds pushed the fire along while crews worked to confine the blaze in remote lava beds.
By 25 July, the fire had consumed . The rugged lava beds made it difficult for firefighters to attack the fire directly. Instead crews worked around the perimeter of the fire while three air tankers dropped six loads of retardant on the north end of the fire. On 25 July, the Fremont-Winema National Forest and Oregon Department of Forestry sent crews to the fire. The next day, the Bureau of Land Management added a 20-person hand crew and additional pumper engines were provided by from Fremont-Winema National Forest, the Modoc National Forest, and Central Oregon Fire Management Services.
On 27 July, the fire had covered . At that time, it was only 5 percent contained despite all the manpower and equipment that was deployed on the fire.
Between 28 July and 30 July 2012 multi-agency fire crews worked on the fire line as the blaze continued to grow. On 29 July, the fire covered to . Late that afternoon, a leadership team from the South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership arrived to oversee the fire suppression effort. By 30 July, the fire had grown to . It was estimated that the fire was 20 percent contained and there were 232 personnel working on the fire. Fire fighters conducted burn out operations along the fire line and roadways. Hot and dry weather conditions spread smoke across a wide area while the Bureau of Land Management closed roads in the area around the fire.
On 31 July, the fire covered . It was 25 percent contained and there were 250 firefighters working to control the fire. The terrain in the lava beds was too rugged for fire trucks so crews worked around the perimeter of the lava flow, building a burned-out buffer between the fire and surrounding vegetation. During the day, three helicopters began dumping water on the fire. Roads in the area remained closed. Fire officials told the media that it could be weeks before the fire was fully extinguished.
The progress of the fire had slowed by 1 August. It only grew an additional overnight, so the burned acreage totalled . There were 275 firefighters on-site and containment was 30 percent. Improved weather conditions helped fire crews as they worked to build fire lines around the perimeter of the lava beds. The goal was to keep the fire from leaving the lava beds and moving into an adjacent Bureau of Land Management wilderness study area. While fire vehicle traffic remained heavy, the Bureau of Land Management decided to reopen roads in the area. Fire managers estimated the fire would be fully mid-August.
On 2 August, the fire grew significantly as firefighter conducted large scale back burning around the fire's perimeter. The back burning operation torched western juniper trees, sagebrush, and grass, clearing a buffer around the entire fire. By the end of the day, the total acreage burned by the Lava Fire was . Fire officials estimated that the fire was 50 percent contained.
With the completion of the back burning operation on 3 August, the fire reached its final size. The total acreage burned was over . At that time, it was estimated that the fire was 70 percent contained. Fire managers told the media that the public should expect heavy traffic for the next few days. They also said smoke would persist for a few weeks as the fire was being mopped up.
By 6 August, the fire was estimated to be 85 percent contained. The last fire report for the Lava Fire was issued on 7 August. Fire officials said that crews would continue working around the perimeter until the entire fire area was completely secure. The officials also said that they expected the fire to be fully extinguished by 15 August.
Synopsis
In the Bureau of Land Management's final update, the size of the Lava Fire was reported as . All of the burned area was United States Government land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The Lava Fire burned rangeland and scrub forest, primarily in and around lava beds. The main vegetation burned by the fire was sagebrush and grass along with scattered western juniper trees in some areas.
On 1 August 2012, the Lava Fire was the largest active fire in the state of Oregon. At its peak, there were 275 firefighters from the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and the Oregon Department of Forestry working on-site. Equipment dispatched to the fire included pumper trucks, water tankers, helicopters, and air tankers.

Gameplay
The gameplay incorporates elements of stealth and detective work. It includes some cross-genre gameplay standards such as lockpicking doors and gathering key items. It also includes a point system, which serves as a ranking system and can be used to unlock new areas of the map. One of its main gameplay elements is puzzle solving.
Plot
The Raven is set in 1964. Some time ago, the master thief "The Raven" was in the public eye: he tricked the police many times and always left his trademark, a black raven feather, at the crime scene. Finally, in a chase, he was caught and shot by Inspector Nicolas Legrand and fell to his death. A few years later, a valuable ruby, one of the two eyes of the Sphinx, is stolen from the British Museum in London, with the perpetrator leaving a raven feather at the crime scene. Another ruby, the second eye of the Sphinx, is to be taken to Venice on the Orient Express under the guard of Legrand and from there by ship to Cairo for an exhibition. The police fear that the perpetrator could also be after the second diamond.
Part 1: The Eye of the Sphinx
At the start of the game, the player takes on the role of Jakob Anton Zellner, a Swiss police officer. The Orient Express is on its journey from Paris via Venice to Istanbul. On board is Inspector Nicolas Legrand, who guards a safe that is on board. Zellner was assigned by the Swiss police to support Legrand, who is not enthusiastic about this offer. During the journey, the train is stopped in a tunnel by a deliberately caused explosion. Zellner fears that the Eye of the Sphinx WAS stolen, but it turns out that Legrand wanted to trap the raven on the train; the ruby was actually brought to Venice via a different route. There he is loaded onto a cruise ship bound for Cairo, and Zellner is able to smuggle himself on board despite Legrand's resistance. During the trip, a rich patron is murdered and Zellner secretly investigates on his own. He finds the ship's doctor, who is responsible for the patron's death and is now trying to kill Zellner in order to cover his tracks.
Part 2: Cradle of Deception
Zellner survives the ship's doctor's attack; he disappears without a trace and leaves a farewell letter in which he confesses to being the raven he was looking for. The cruise ship arrives in Cairo. The two eyes of the Sphinx were supposed to be on display in the museum there, but because of the theft that preceded the game, only one of the two rubies can be seen. The raven steals this eye before the exhibition opens, but Zellner is able to pursue him, catch the thief and uncover the raven's identity. The player then relives the events since the beginning of part one, but from the perspective of one of the raven's assistants Adil Jamal, who only appeared as a minor character in the first part.
Part 3: Murderers and Ravens
In the third part, the plot already broadly known to the player continues on board the MS Lydia and later in the museum in Cairo from the perspective of the Adil; In addition, the player also controls Adil's girlfriend Patricia Mayers, who was also introduced as a supporting character in the first part.
Development
The game was released for Microsoft Windows via Steam as of July 23, 2013. The game was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 14, 2014. On January 10, 2018, a trailer for The Raven Remastered was released by THQ Nordic. The game was released on March 13, 2018 for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and was enhanced for Xbox One X. A Nintendo Switch version was released in 2019.
Chapters
"Chapter 1: The Eye of the Sphinx"
"Chapter 2: Ancestry of Lies"
"Chapter 3: A Murder of Ravens"
Reception
The game received mixed or average reviews from critics on Metacritic with a score of 74.
IGN made a favorable comparison between Legacy of a Master Thief and classic literary works such as And Then There Were None.
Joystiq praised the game for its writing and voice acting, praising in particular the nuances in main character Zellner's voice, but criticized it for being formulaic with its clunky execution.
Game Informer'''s review was mixed, expressing excitement for the next installment in the series and finding the game's mystery intriguing enough to cover for "antiquated design", but claimed a cliffhanger ending required one to play all three episodes to feel fulfilled. GameSpot'' called the game boring and criticized it for glitchy movement.

47789805 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD%20Turbo%20Core | AMD Turbo Core | AMD Turbo Core a.k.a. AMD Core Performance Boost (CPB) is a dynamic frequency scaling technology implemented by AMD that allows the processor to dynamically adjust and control the processor operating frequency in certain versions of its processors which allows for increased performance when needed while maintaining lower power and thermal parameters during normal operation. AMD Turbo Core technology has been implemented beginning with the Phenom II X6 microprocessors based on the AMD K10 microarchitecture. AMD Turbo Core is available with some AMD A-Series accelerated processing units.
AMD Turbo Core is similar to Intel Turbo Boost, which is another dynamic processor frequency adjustment technology used to increase performance, as well as AMD PowerNow!, which is used to dynamically adjust laptop processor's operating frequencies in order to decrease power consumption (saving battery life), reduce heat, and lower noise. AMD PowerNow! is used to decrease processor frequency, whereas AMD Turbo Core is used to increase processor frequency.
Background
To decide a processor's clock speed, the processor is stress tested to determine the maximum speed that the processor can run at before the maximum amount of power allowed is reached, which is called thermal design power or TDP. It has been reported that customers would complain that the processors rarely consumed the rated TDP, which meant that most consumers do not come close to the power consumed during maximum stress testing. A parameter called average CPU power (ACP) is used to address this issue. ACP defines the average power expected to be consumed with regular use, whereas TDP gives the maximum power consumed. Power consumed is an important factor when considering thermal limits and determining CPU power dissipation.
AMD Turbo Core and similar dynamic processor frequency adjustment technologies take advantage of average power consumed being less than the maximum design limits, allowing frequency (and the accompanying power and heat) to be increased for short periods of time without exceeding design limits.
Features
Advantages of AMD Turbo Core include:
Up to 900 MHz of additional clock speed available with all cores active, meaning all cores can boost at the same time.
Potentially even higher boost states available with half of the cores active, since fewer active cores require less power and generate less heat.
Governed by power draw, not temperature, so that the same performance increase is available in warmer environments, so that maximum frequency is dependent on workload.
With the Ryzen processors, AMD has introduced extra auto-overclocking features:
Precision Boost tries to run the processor at the highest frequency allowed at any moment, constrained by cooling and power supply. It changes frequency in 25 MHz increments.
Extended Frequency Range unlocks default boost ranges for systems with better cooling.

47789827 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry%20Point%20Fire | Barry Point Fire | The Barry Point Fire was a wildfire that burned over of Oregon and California forest land during the summer of 2012. The fire began on 5 August 2012, the result of a lightning strike. The fire consumed public forest and rangeland as well as private forest and grazing land located in Lake County, Oregon and Modoc County, California. The public lands affected by the fire are administered by the United States Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Forestry. The largest part of the private land was owned by the Collins Timber Company. At the peak of the firefighting effort, there were 1,423 personnel working on the fire. It took 22 days to fully contain the fire and then an additional three weeks to mop it up.
Origin
On 5 August 2012, a thunderstorm passed over southern Oregon and northern California. The storm produced a number of lightning strikes in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Unfortunately, the storm did not deliver any rain with the lightning. The next morning, a local lookout reported a fire in the Barry Point area, approximately west of Lakeview, Oregon. The Forest Service named it the Barry Point Fire.
A combination of hot dry weather and gusty winds had created dangerous fire conditions in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Around Barry Point, the fire conditions were exacerbated by heavy forest ground cover and the general inaccessibility of the area. By mid-morning these conditions had produced a high intensity fire with large trees torching off in rapid succession and numerous spot fires spreading the blaze rapidly. The prevailing winds initially drove the fire toward the northeast. However, the wind then shifted unexpectedly, pushing the fire southward. Firefighters battled the blaze for over three weeks as it consumed large tracts of public forest and rangeland along with private forest and ranch grazing lands.
Chronology
In the late afternoon on 5 August 2012, a lightning strike ignited a wildfire near Barry Point on the Fremont-Winema National Forest in southern Lake County, Oregon.
On 6 August 2012, the lookout at Dog Mountain reported the Barry Point Fire to the Lakeview Interagency Fire Center in the late afternoon. At the time, there were already five other fires burning in the general area, and there were more fires in other parts of the Fremont-Winema National Forest and on nearby state forest lands. The initial report estimated the fire to be approximately . A few minutes later, the lookout reported that the fire had doubled in size and was growing rapidly due to gusty winds in the area. In the meantime, the interagency fire center dispatched ground crews and a helicopter to fight the fire. Within a half-hour, the lookout reported a new spot fire west of the main blaze. When the helicopter arrived on the scene, its pilot reported that the fire was , burning in heavy timber. The helicopter also reported more spot fire up to ahead of the main fire. Based on that report, the fire center requested air tanker support. There were no large air tankers available, but two smaller retardant planes were dispatched. The air tankers made several drops, but had to retire at dusk. The ground attack continued through the night with hand crews, pumper engines, and bulldozers.
The next morning, 7 August, fire managers held over the night crews to continue fighting the fire. Additional crews also arrived on scene. The two small retardant planes returned along with helicopter support. Three large air tankers were also assigned to the fire. These air assets were used throughout the day. Nevertheless, the fire continued to expand rapidly with numerous spot fires making line building very difficult. In mid-afternoon, an expanded fire management team was ordered. By late afternoon, the fire was reported to be and still growing. At the end of the day, the estimate was increased to . Late that night, crews began a burnout operation to prevent the fire from spread to the south.
On the morning of 8 August, fire managers believed the burnout operation conducted during the night had been successful. Air operations were hindered in the morning by bad visibility and aircraft mechanical problems. In the afternoon, air support was resumed. All day, ground crews built fire line. Additional burnout operations were conducted by the day shift crews and were continued by the night shift. This stopped the fire's spread to the north, but was unsuccessful in preventing the fire from spreading up the western slope of Dog Mountain.
Early on 9 August, the fire was reported to be , but it was only 25 percent contained. Command of the fire suppression operation was transitioned to an expanded Oregon Interagency Incident Management Team. In addition the Oregon Department of Forestry dispatched two pumper engines and 12 overhead personnel to the fire. During the day, the fire spread to the northeast and began burning the west face of Dog Mountain. At that time, the fire was reported to be . In the afternoon, the blaze jumped a fire line and spread northeast toward Drew's Reservoir. As a result, an evacuation notice was issued for residents living along south side of the reservoir. However, the wind shifted driving the fire to the south, up the east slope of Dog Mountain. By the end of the day, the fire had grown to . That included approximately of state protected land.
The fires continued to burn actively on 10 August, fire managers requested an overhead support team from National Incident Management Organization to assist in planning and oversight of fire operations. During the day, northerly winds pushed the fire to the south and southeast. By the end of the day the fire was reported to be over .
Between 11 August and 13 August, the prevailing wind direction shifted a number of times. During the day it generally blew from the west and southwest. At night, the winds were predominantly from the northeast and east, which is very unusual for south central Oregon. The wind speed averaged about with gusts up to . As a result, the fire continued to spread to the south. On 11 August, the fire covered with over 1,100 firefighters battling the flames. On 12 August, the fire continued to burn very actively. By the end of the day, the fire had grown to . The next day it was and the number of firefighters on the scene reached 1,423.
By 14 August, the fire was burning intensely on private timberland west of Lakeview. The extreme fire conditions were also threatening approximately 200 structures including residences in the small unincorporated community of Westside. To help protect these structures the number of firefighters had grown to 1,404. That day, the fire grew by approximately . By the end of the day, the total acreage burned was over and the fire had crossed the state line into the Modoc National Forest in California.
From 15 August and 17 August, the fire continued to spread further south. On 15 August, the fire grew by about . Firefighters saved the Crowder Flat Guard Station and Willow Creek Ranch by building fire lines around the structures. Evacuation orders remained in place for the Westside community, the area southeast of Drew's Reservoir, and property west of Goose Lake. Additional evacuations occurred south of the Oregon border. The fire continued to grow as gusty and erratic winds arrived with a new storm on 17 August. However, the storm also brought light precipitation in some areas. By the end of 17 August, the fire had consumed , but it was only 30 percent contained.
On 18 August and 19 August, fire conditions continued to moderate with reduced wind and cooler temperatures. This allowed firefighters to make good progress toward containing the fire. Crews continued to build and strengthen containment lines while mop up operations began in some area. Forest Service tree fallers began cutting hazardous snag trees along the fire line at the north end of the burn. Most evacuations orders were lifted on 19 August.
From 20 August and 26 August, the fire continued to burn inside fire lines, but did not grow beyond established lines. On 20 August, there were still 1,256 personnel working on the fire. The southeast front of the fire remained active during the day with individual trees continued to torch off in some interior area. At the end of the day, the total acreage burned was estimated to be . On 24 August, fire managers announced that the Barry Point Fire was 90 percent contained with 775 firefighters still working on the fire. The next day, the fire was 95 percent contained and the number of personnel on scene had been reduced to 632. During this period, the Forest Service resurveyed the fire area and reduced the estimated burn to .
On 27 August, interagency fire management team announced that the fire was 100 percent contained. To accomplish this, approximately of fire line had been built by ground crews and bulldozers. A large number of firefighters remained on scene to conduct mop up operations. All the remaining evacuation orders were lifted in both Oregon and California, but residents were warned that smoke would persist in the area until all the fuel inside the fire line had finished burning. Forest Service recreation sites, roads, and trails remained closed due to fire mop up activities.
From 28 August to 17 September, the fire continued to creep and smolder inside the fire line. As of 29 August, 465 firefighters continued to support mop up operations. This included both Forest Service and Oregon Department of Forestry units. Crews worked on repairing fences, culverts, and other infrastructure damaged by fire suppression activities. Ground crews also burned out interior areas with heavy brush that were within of the perimeter lines. These operations continued for several more weeks as the fire smoldered and crept through unburned islands inside the fire line. By 7 September, there were only 33 firefighters left on scene. The final fire report for the Barry Point Fire was issued on 17 September, highlighting the fact the last crew had left the fire scene.
Fire area
The Forest Service originally reported the final size of the fire to be . That was later modified to . Most of the burned area was Federal land. However, forest lands belonging to the State of Oregon, and various private owners were also burned. The burned acreage identified in the preliminary fire report was as follows:
Fromont National Forest,
Modoc National Forest,
Non- Federal Oregon lands,
Non- Federal California lands,
After carefully mapping the burned area, the Forest Service changed the official total of acres burned to . The fire covered about north to south and was wide in some places. Approximately of commercial timber was consumed by the fire with a 75 percent tree mortality. An addition of forest was seriously damaged.
During the course of the Barry Point Fires, there were 3 structures destroyed and 3 firefighters injured. According to the Forest Service, the total cost of the fire suppression effort was over $23.2 million.
Post-fire activity
Forest restoration began immediately after the fire was contained. The Fremont-Winema and Modoc national forests appointed a joint Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation Team to oversee forest restoration activities. Under the team's supervision, Forest Service and Oregon Department of Forestry crews cleared roads, mended fences, repaired culverts, and rehabilitated bulldozer trails.
Timber salvage operations began shortly after the fire suppression ended. The Forest Service worked with the Collins Timber Company and the Fremont sawmill in Lakeview to remove dead trees that were still marketable. However, the salvage process was not an easy one. In September 2012, the Fremont-Winema National Forest offered to sell 25 million board feet of salvage timber to Collins. This was because Collins operated the only sawmill in Lakeview, the nearest mill to the salvage area. However, Collins declined to buy the Forest Service timber, choosing instead to focus on salvaging its own burned timber first. Then in December 2012, the Forest Service offered its salvage timber in a sale open to all bidders, but there were no interested parties. This was due to concerns about the quality of the damaged timber and the distance it would have to be transported. Finally, the Forest Service broke the timber sale into smaller lots near existing roads. By then, Collins had removed much of its burned timber so they acquired some of the Forest Service salvage timber. Ultimately, the Forest Service only salvaged about 9 percent of the timber burned by the Barry Point Fire.
After salvage logging and clearing burned areas, the Forest Service began replanting trees in the Barry Point burn. In 2014, the initial reforestation effort covered about with ponderosa pine seedlings. An additional was replanted in 2015.
In 2015, Collins replanted over of timberland as part of a joint forest restoration project with the Wildlife Conservation Board and the Pacific Forest Trust. The project included a $2.5 million grant for wildlife habitat restoration from the conservation groups. In exchange for the grant, Collins and another timber company agreed to offer a conservation easement across of private land, including approximately unburned forest and meadow lands in northern California. The conservation project will restore habitat for numerous resident and migratory species that are native to northeastern California. Species include mule deer, pronghorn, Rocky Mountain elk, American black bear, and cougar along with bird species such as black-backed woodpeckers, great grey owls, sandhill cranes, goshawks, and bald eagles. Native redband trout will also benefit from the restoration project.

47790056 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian%20Rocks | Cambodian Rocks | Cambodian Rocks is a compilation of 22 uncredited, untitled Cambodian psychedelic and garage rock songs from the late 1960s and early 1970s. When the tracks were recorded, musicians in the thriving music scene were combining Western rock and pop genres with their own styles and techniques. When the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, artists were among those viewed as a threat to the regime's agrarian socialist vision, and several of the performers on the album are believed to have been among those killed during the ensuing Cambodian genocide of 1975–1979. A great deal of information about them and their creative output was lost, although some has been recovered since the album's release.
The compilation was assembled from cassette tapes purchased by an American tourist in 1994 and released on the Parallel World label in 1996. The album has been lauded for its music as well as its historical and cultural significance, though the label has been criticized for reissuing it years later without working to identify those involved. Through collaboration on the Internet, the songs have all been identified. Cambodian Rocks inspired the 2015 documentary film Don't Think I've Forgotten.
Historical context
In the years before the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, Cambodia had a flourishing music scene. Particularly in Phnom Penh, artists were combining traditional and native styles with those from the West.
The Khmer Rouge regime, led by Pol Pot, wanted to return the nation of Cambodia to an idyllic notion of the past by implementing a radical form of agrarian socialism while simultaneously shunning outside aid and influence. To build and protect their utopian goals, the regime perceived enmity in anyone tied to the previous Cambodian governments, ethnic and religious minorities, intellectuals, and members of certain professions. Artists posed a threat due to their own influence on culture, incompatibility with an agrarian lifestyle, or exhibiting foreign influence. Between 1975 and 1979, about 2million people (25% of the country's population) were killed during the ensuing Cambodian genocide. Several of the artists on Cambodian Rocks are thought to have been among those killed, and information about them destroyed along with much of their creative output.
Production
While a tourist in Cambodia in 1994, American Paul Wheeler became interested in music he had been hearing around Siem Reap. He purchased "about six tapes" of music from a market vendor and assembled a mixtape of his favorite tracks. His friend at the Parallel World label in New York City, upon hearing the mixtape, agreed to release 1,000 copies on vinyl. When they sold out, the label issued the much more widely known CD version, containing 22 songs instead of the original 13.
Several reviewers have likened the album to a bootleg. Neither Wheeler nor Parallel World provided any information about the artists or names of the tracks. When re-issued in 2003, reviewer Mack Hagood criticized Parallel World for reifying its bootleg status by retaining the anonymous track list rather than working to look for surviving artists or their families, who would likely benefit greatly from royalties. With information more widely available on the Internet and the opportunity to collaborate, all tracks have since been identified.
The cover art since the first release has been a charcoal rubbing taken from one of the bas reliefs in the Angkor Wat temple.
Musical style
The recordings reflect the influence of Western rock and pop music in general and that of the United States in particular due to its heavy involvement in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. The compilation is varied, combining a range of popular Western genres like garage, psychedelic, and surf rock, with Khmer vocal techniques, instrumental innovations, and the popular romvong "circle dance music" trend. Several reviews describe the uncanny quality of the songs using words like "mystery" and "familiarity", to help account for the album's wide appeal at the time of its release when such compilations were less common. Yol Aularong's "Yuvajon Kouge Jet", for example, has been noted as sounding like a "fuzzed-out, reverb-soaked" "go-go organ and fuzz-guitar" cover of Them's "Gloria". Reviewers also noted similarities between Sinn Sisamouth's "Srolanh Srey Touch" and Santana's cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman". Other tracks have been likened to Booker T. & the M.G.'s and The Animals.
Several of the artists on Cambodian Rocks had been quite successful before the Khmer Rouge, while others achieved fame posthumously.
Sinn Sisamouth (c.1935-c.1976) was a prolific singer-songwriter with a crooning voice that has been likened to that of Nat King Cole. He got his start singing on the radio while in medical school in his early 20s, and was admitted to the Royal Treasury's classical ensemble, with whom he performed at state functions. By the late-1950s and early-1960s he was one of the most popular musicians in the country. As a solo artist in the 1960s he performed with a rock band rather than traditional wind instrument backing, experimenting with combining Khmer music with Western sounds. Sometimes called the "King of Khmer music", "the Cambodian Elvis", or the "golden voice", his lasting cultural impact is difficult to overstate. He is believed to have been killed by execution squad during the genocide in 1976, but his voice remains one of the country's most recognizable.
The "King of Khmer music" is credited with discovering "the queen of Cambodian rock 'n' roll", Ros Sereysothea, who had been singing at weddings. Coming from a poor rural background, she moved to Phnom Penh and found success singing on national radio. She was known for her take on traditional folk songs but increasingly incorporated Western genres and instrumentation, even issuing cover versions of a number of Western hits. Under the Khmer Rouge, she was allegedly forced to perform for political leaders and to marry a party official, though accounts of her fate differ and no specifics have been confirmed.
The other artists did not achieve the same degree of success as Sisamouth or Sereysothea, and even less information about them survives. The Sydney Morning Herald called Pan Ron "the most risque of Cambodian singers of the 1960s to mid-1970s [who] hopped genres from traditional Khmer music to covers or localised takes on western rock, twist, cha cha, mambo, jazz and folk." According to an unconfirmed account, she died sometime after the 1978 Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, probably killed by the Khmer Rouge. Yol Aularong was one of the subjects of the 2015 documentary Don't Think I've Forgotten. In a review of the film, The New York Times described him as "a charismatic proto-punk who mocked conformist society."
Reception and legacy
The album has received praise for its musical content as well as historical and cultural significance. Rolling Stone called it "a marvel of cultural appropriation" and said it exhibits "all manner of virtuosity". Far East Audio ascribed it the label "instant classic", while Allmusic said the album is "an incredible historical document of late-'60s to early-'70s Cambodian rock". Nick Hanover called it an "unpredictably playful" mix with "each track ... a continuous surprise, a fusion of elements that should be contradictory but somehow strike a balance of West and East – organ hooks swerving between fierce guitar riffs that antagonize vocals that frequently sound closer to ghostly siren wails than traditional pop melodies". The New York Times said the album and the circumstances of its release "established a lasting aura of mystery around the music".
Cambodian Rocks was the first release of its kind, followed by a number of similar compilations like Cambodian Cassette Archives and other unrelated titles by the same or similar names, inspired by the original or exploiting its weak standing with regard to intellectual property. It also gave rise, in part, to a broader trend of Western interest in obscure psychedelic and progressive rock from the rest of the world.
The California band Dengue Fever, known for its Khmer rock performances, has recorded a number of covers of tracks from Cambodian Rocks. Like Paul Wheeler, Dengue Fever founding member Ethan Holtzman discovered the 1960s–70s music while traveling in Cambodia and formed the band upon his return to California. The band's singer is Cambodian emigrant Chhom Nimol, who lived in a refugee camp in Thailand during the Khmer Rouge.
Filmmaker John Pirozzi received a copy of the album while in Cambodia filming City of Ghosts and began researching the stories of the artists. Eventually, he tracked down material to create Don't Think I've Forgotten, a 2015 documentary about pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodian music which takes its name from a Sinn Sisamouth song.
Track listing
Cambodian Rocks includes 22 songs. Although the album provides no track information, fans and researchers have identified the artists and song names. The table below includes both the original romanized Khmer titles and English translations.
