Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located in Gainesville, a city in Hall County, Georgia, United States. In 1941 only a dirt airstrip existed. At this time a request by the City of Gainesville was placed with the Civil Aeronautics Administration of the United States for a municipal Airport. In 1943 the US Navy leased the airport land from the City of Gainesville for one dollar to be used by the military during World War II. At that time the Navy had sufficient land to permit development of the intersecting 4000-foot paved runways with parallel taxiways, aircraft and electronics maintenance facilities, barracks and related support facilities. The base functioned as a satellite of the Naval Air Station at what is now Dekalb-Peachtree Airport. The mission of the Gainesville facility was to train ground personnel in ground controlled approach (GCA) procedures. Truck-mounted radar was used to track approaching target aircraft. Some of the equipment that was in use at the time can be seen in the black and white photographs in the main terminal building. Some of the buildings that were used can be identified as the terminal and control tower (tower not used since World War II), large radar maintenance hangar, Navy brig, and an aircraft maintenance hangar that still exists today. In 1947 the facility was decommissioned and returned to the City of Gainesville. In addition to the improvements to the land and runways, all building and equipment became the property of the City of Gainesville. Over the course of the next 35+ years, from 1964 to the present day, numerous improvements have been made. These have been funded from such sources as the FAA, State of Georgia, Appalachia Fund, General Government Funds, and the City of Gainesville totaling over $4.3 million. These improvements have ranged from relocating beacons, marking the runways and the construction of a parallel taxiway in 1979, to the strengthening and extending of the runways and all of the navigational devices. In 1971 the airport was named in honor of local aviation pioneer Lee Gilmer who owned and operated Gilmer Flying Services before, during, and after World War II. An untowered airport, Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport is a popular general aviation airport that covers an area of and contains two asphalt paved runways: 5/23 measuring and 11/29 measuring . There is a grass runway adjacent to Runway 29. Owned and managed by the City of Gainesville, Georgia, it is further served by Champion Aviation (fixed based operator), AB Aviation (maintenance and repair) and Lanier Flight Center (flight school, aircraft charter and aircraft rental). |

Phil Pozderac Philip Maurice Pozderac (born December 19, 1959) is a former American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at the University of Notre Dame. Pozderac attended Garfield Heights High School, where he practiced basketball and football. He accepted a football scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. In his first two years he was a backup at right tackle behind All-American Tim Foley. He was named the starter at right tackle in his junior and senior seasons. In his last year, he received the team's Outstanding Offensive player and honorable-mention All-American honors. He finished his college career with 23 straight starts. Pozderac was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (137th overall) of the 1982 NFL Draft and became the NFL's tallest player over Ed "Too Tall" Jones (he was a half-inch taller than Jones). As a rookie, with tight end Jay Saldi injured most of the year, he played left tackle on short-yardage situations, with Pat Donovan moving to the tight end spot. In 1983, he started two regular season contests in place of an injured Donovan and played left tackle on all short-yardage and goal situations when the Cowboys went to a 3 three-tight end formation. He started the 7th game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles at right tackle in place of an injured Jim Cooper. In 1984, after the retirement of Donovan, he beat former first round selection Howard Richards for the starting left tackle job (7 starts), before being moved to the right tackle position, when Cooper missed half of the season after being injured on a bizarre accident, when he slipped and broke his ankle while rising from a table at a night club, while watching Monday Night Football. The next year, he was the starter at left tackle until an injured right knee forced him out of the lineup after 3 starts. He returned to start 4 more games, until being moved to the right side to back up Cooper, with Chris Schultz keeping the left side job. In 1986 he was the starter left tackle, before losing his job to Mark Tuinei and being moved to the other side. He also received two infamous penalties that negated critical first downs during the final 75 seconds of a 17-14 loss against the New York Giants, propelling the team to a Super Bowl Championship. The coaches and media speculated that he became a target of the league's referees, gaining notoriety for holding and false start penalties. |
Newton-John and Farrar would later license the brand name for a line of Australian produced wines, confections, and bed/bath products. Newton-John, a Carlton Football Club fan, performed the Australian national anthem at the 1986 VFL Grand Final between Carlton and Hawthorn. Newton-John's music career cooled again with the release of her next studio album, the gold "Soul Kiss" (No. 29 Pop), in 1985. The album's only charted single was the title track (No. 20 Pop, No. 20 AC). Due to her pregnancy, Newton-John limited her publicity for the album. The video album for "Soul Kiss" featured only five of the album's ten tracks (concept videos for the album's singles "Soul Kiss" and "Toughen Up" as well as performance videos of the tracks "Culture Shock", "Emotional Tangle" and "The Right Moment"). After a nearly three-year hiatus following the birth of her daughter Chloe in January 1986, Newton-John resumed her recording career with the 1988 album, "The Rumour". The album was promoted by an HBO special, "Olivia Down Under", and its first single, the title track, was written and produced by Elton John. Both the single (No. 62 Pop, No. 33 AC) and the album (No. 67 Pop) fizzled as the nearly 40-year-old Newton-John seemed "old" when compared with the teen queens Debbie Gibson and Tiffany ruling the Pop charts at that time. (Ironically, this album was praised by critics as more mature with Newton-John addressing topics such as AIDS, the environment and single-parent households.) The second single, "Can't We Talk It Over in Bed", did not chart, but was released in 1989 by Grayson Hugh, the song's arranger, as "Talk It Over" becoming a top 20 Pop hit. In September 1989, Newton-John released her self-described "self-indulgent" album, "Warm and Tender", which reunited her with producer John Farrar, absent from her previous LP, and also marked a return to a more wholesome image of herself. Inspired by her daughter, who appeared on the cover, the album featured lullabies and love songs for parents and their children. This album, the last one produced by Farrar, also failed to revive her recording career, as the disc only reached No. 124 Pop. Newton-John was primed for another comeback in 1992 when she compiled her third hits collection, "", and planned her first tour since her "Physical" trek ten years earlier. |
The Ex Files "The Ex Files" is the 22nd episode of the CW television series, "Gossip Girl". It was also the fourth episode of the show's second season. The episode was written by Robby Hull and directed by Jim McKay. It originally aired on Monday, September 22, 2008 on the CW. Dan meets a new girl named Amanda on the first day back to school. Blair and her clique look for new "projects" and "victims" and decide to go after the new girl whilst ignoring Jenny. Serena is upset that Dan has rebounded so quickly and Blair makes it worse by interfering. Dan asks Amanda on a date at Serena's favorite restaurant and she decides to tag along. Dan and Amanda bond over literature leaving Serena as a third wheel. Eventually, Serena and Dan decide it's better for them to just keep their distance. Blair's clique bullies Amanda by putting Nair in her hair and Dan blames Serena; she decides to start living up to her old reputation. Nate's mistress Catherine agreed to pay the Captain's restitution rather than blackmail him but Vanessa unwittingly thwarted Blair's plan. Chuck hired Amanda to pretend to like Dan in order to take down Blair as Queen B of Constance-Billard. Dan has become a social pariah because of how he treated "Queen" Serena. The episode has an 8.1 rating out of 10 from "TV.com,", a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on "TV Fanatic", and an 8.0 out of 10 star rating on "IMDB". The episode received generally favorable reviews from critics. Most of the critics praised Blake Lively's performances in this episode. Isabelle Carreau, from "TV Squad", continued to compare Serena and Dan's relationship to Rachel and Ross from "Friends" and also said that "Blake Lively delivered it with the right amount of attitude and bitchiness" in her final lines in the episode. Jennifer Sankowski, from "TV Guide", had said that she was surprised to see that Amanda was working for Chuck all time long, and that the reason why she loves the show is because of the many twists between the episodes. Michelle Graham, from "Film School Rejects", had said that "overall, this episode really kick started the season, with Chuck’s manipulations felt right the way through, but his hand mostly unseen until the end". Nevertheless, Carlos Delgado of "If Magazine" gave the episode a negative rating of D+ and said that the show "is poised to take bad television to a whole new level". |
Justin Winsor Justin Winsor (January 2, 1831 – October 22, 1897) was a prominent American writer, librarian, and historian. His historical work had strong bibliographical and cartographical elements. He was an authority on the early history of North America. His self-confidence, energy and congeniality augmented his entrepreneurial skills and were well received by his peers, who elected him as the first president of the American Library Association. Winsor was born in Boston, Massachusetts, son of Nathaniel Winsor III (1806-c. 1890) and Ann Thomas Howland Winsor (1809–1893). His father was a shipping merchant who had established the "Winsor Line," one of the first regular lines of clipperships between Boston and San Francisco. Shortly before his birth, his parents had recently moved to Boston from Duxbury, Massachusetts where the Winsor family had been involved in shipbuilding for generations. His grandfather's home, the Nathaniel Winsor, Jr. House, is now the headquarters of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. Justin Winsor graduated from the Boston Latin School. He entered Harvard, but left in his senior year and never finished his education at the university. He then studied in Paris and Heidelberg. In 1855, Winsor married Caroline Tufts Barker (1830–1911), daughter of Ebenezer and Sally Fuller Barker of Charlestown, Massachusetts. They had two children, Mary (b. 1860) who died in infancy, and Constance (c. 1861–1895). Justin Winsor published his first book, "A History of the Town of Duxbury" (1849), during his first year at Harvard. He contributed to many periodicals, and, in addition to editing many smaller works, he edited some of the most important historical works of the 19th century, among them: "Reader's Handbook of American History" (1879), "The Memorial History of Boston" (4 vols., 1880–1881) and the "Narrative and Critical History of America" (8 vols., 1884–1889). The latter was a standard history reference for decades. Winsor was one of the creators of the librarian profession, a strong proponent of the ability of libraries to uplift, and a leader in the effort to make libraries the center of universities. He started his library career as a trustee (1867–1868), then superintendent (1868–1877) of the Boston Public Library. |
Church of the Holy Trinity, Belgrade The Church of the Holy Trinity, also called the Russian Church, in Belgrade is a metochion of the Russian Orthodox church in Belgrade, Serbia. It was erected in 1924 according to the plans of Russian émigré architect Valery Stashevsky and was meant mainly for refugees from Soviet Russia who arrived in Serbia in thousands from 1920, after the defeat of the White Army in European part of Russia in the Russian Civil War. The church is located on the northern edge of the Tašmajdan Park, next to a much bigger St. Mark's of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The Russian ecclesiastical community in Belgrade, where in the early 1920s Russians constituted over 10% of the capital's population, was founded in November 1920 by Russian émigré priest Petar (Pyotr) Belovodov (Петр Беловидов). Initially, the venue for services was the assembly hall of the . The construction of the church was begun in September 1924, in Tašmajdan, on the location of the former cemetery and next to the old St. Mark's church (a new, much larger one, was completed by 1940). The Serbian clergy of the St. Mark's parish opposed having a Russian church on their land, but through the intervention of Serbian Patriarch Dimitrije, they relented, albeit with some conditions attached: it was to be only temporarily on the ground of the Serbian church and without its own belfry. However, prime minister Nikola Pašić donated a bell to the Russian church. The church building was consecrated by Serbian Patriarch Dimitrije on 5 July 1925. From the beginning, the church's parish was in the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), headed until 1936 by Metropolitan Antony (Khrapovitsky) (on 31 August 1921, the Council of Bishops of the Serbian Church passed a resolution, effective from 3 October, that recognised Metropolitan Anthony's Temporary Higher Church Administration Abroad as an administratively independent jurisdiction for exiled Russian clergy outside the Kingdom of SHS as well as those Russian clergy in the Kingdom of SHS who were not in parish or state educational service; the THCAA (later, ROCOR) jurisdiction also extended to divorce cases of the exiled Russians). The main Russian shrine that was preserved in the church from the end of 1927 until September 1944 was the Kursk Root Icon. |

The Mutant "The Mutant" is an episode of the original "The Outer Limits" television show. It was first broadcast on March 16, 1964, during the first season. Researchers on an alien planet live in fear of a man wearing goggles, a man who is paranoid and powerful—and can read minds. An astronaut lands on an alien planet to investigate the death of one of a group of Earth scientists who are testing to see if the planet is suitable for colonization. The scientists, including Julie, his old flame, behave strangely, but refuse to explain why. They are particularly nervous around Reese Fowler, a fellow researcher who seems to wear his polarized goggles all the time, necessary due to the extreme brightness of the planet's sun. One of the scientists attempts to leave a hastily scribbled note in the astronaut's spacesuit pocket, warning him of what has been happening; he exits the room, only to bump into Reese, who seems to read his mind, and then destroys him with a mere touch. The astronaut is led to a remote cave by Julie and another researcher where he discovers that the others live in fear of Reese, who developed superhuman abilities when he was accidentally exposed to the planet's radioactive isotope-laden rainfall, which has mutating properties, resulting in the scientist's loss of hair and in the development of protruding eyes. Reese, knowing that if the others return to Earth he will be left behind because of the danger he poses, has been holding the others captive, while threatening his touch if they reveal the secret of his plight, all the time searching for a cure. The astronaut must somehow overcome a man who can read minds, and kill with a touch. To prevent Reese from knowing of his plans, the investigator is given a post-hypnotic suggestion to forget what he has learned, then—provided with a code word to recall the events—inform his superiors on Earth following his return. In an unfortunate twist of fate, Reese discovers the deception, and pursues the investigator and Julie into the cave, where they had met once before, with the intent to destroy them; however, due to his sensitivity to darkness, Reese apparently dies from the intense pain while trying to absorb the dim glow of a candle's flame into his light-starved eyes. |
Quintus Pompeius Senecio Sosius Priscus Quintus Pompeius Senecio Sosius Priscus (fl. 2nd century) was a Roman military officer and senator who was appointed consul during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Sosius Priscus is known for possessing the longest attested name of the ancient Romans, this was due to the practice of polyonymy, where elements of his ancestor's name were incorporated into his own. In full, his name is: He received a portion of his lengthy name from his father, Quintus Pompeius Sosius Priscus, consul in AD 149, and, although the inscription that recorded his father's full name is damaged, enough of it survives to establish this: An outline of Sosius Priscus' career is preserved, along with his full name, in the inscription . It shows his career began as the "Praefectus feriarum Latinarum"; this was followed by a posting as "triumvir monetalis". Around the year AD 162, he stood and was elected as a candidate of the emperor for the office of Quaestor. Next he was appointed Legatus, serving under his father who was the Proconsular governor of the province of Asia, possibly around the year AD 163/164. Finally, he was elected to the office of Praetor, possibly around AD 167. In AD 169, Sosius Priscus was elected "consul ordinarius" with Publius Coelius Apollinaris as his colleague. He was then appointed to the proconsular posting of "praefectus alimentorum" (or the officer responsible for organising Rome’s food supply). This was followed by his appointment as proconsular governor of Asia at an unknown date. A member of the College of Pontiffs, Sosius Priscus was married to Ceionia Fabia. They had at least one son, Quintus Pompeius Sosius Falco, who was appointed consul in AD 193. |
Munger Fort The Munger Fort, located at Munger (also spelt as Monghyr during the British Raj), in the state of Bihar, India, is built on a rocky hillock on the south bank of the Ganges River. Its history is not completely dated but it is believed that it was built during the early rule of Slave dynasty of India. The Munger town where the fort is situated was under the control of Muhammad bin Tughluq of Delhi (1325-1351 CE). The fort has two prominent hills called the Karnachaura or Karanchaura, and the other a built up rectangular mound deduced to be the location of a citadel of the fort with historical links. The Fort had a succession of Muslim rulers (Khaljis, Tughlaqs, Lodis, Nawabs of Bengal, followed by Mughal rulers, till it was finally acceded to the British by Mir Quasim (1760–72), after unseating his father-in-aw Mīr Jafar on the grounds of old age, for a monetary reward negotiated by Vansittart. This deal involved payment by the East India Company’s merchants of an ad valorem duty of 9 percent, against an Indian merchant’s duty of 40%. The fort became a place of considerable importance to the British in Bengal till 1947 (India'a independence). The fort houses a number of religious and historic monuments such as the Tomb of Pir Shah Nufa (died 1497), Palace of Shah Suja, Tomb of Mulla Muhammad Said (died 1704 CE), the Kashtaharini Ghat on the Ganges River, Chandisthana (an ancient temple) and an 18th century British cemetery. In recent times, a famous School of Yoga has been established here. The etymology of the word Munger prefixed to the fort and to the town also called by the same name is "Mudgagiri" with links to the Mahbharata epic. A copper plate inscription of Devapala alludes to Munger. Another version is that the name could have derived from either sage Mudgala or Maudgalyayana, a disciple of Buddha. A further explanation by General Cunnigham is that it could have been named after the Mundas, its earliest inhabitants. C.E.A. Oldham gives a version that it was a ‘‘Munigriha’’ (the hermitage of a saint Muni). |
After taking the sacrament, the recipient became known as "perfectus." Prior to becoming a "perfect", Cathars were encouraged but not required to follow Cathar teaching on abstaining from sex and meat, and most chose not to do so. Once an individual received the "consolamentum", those rules became binding. Cathar perfects often went through a ritual fast called the "endura". After receiving the "consolamentum", a believer would sometimes take no food and rely only on cold water, a practice eventually resulting in death. The procedure was typically performed only by those close to death already. Some members of the Church claimed that if a Cathar upon receiving the "consolamentum" showed signs of recovery, the person would be smothered to death in order to ensure entry into Heaven. That sometimes happened, but there is little evidence that it was common practice. Despite Cathar anticlericalism, there were men selected by the Cathars to serve as bishops and deacons. The bishops were selected from among the perfect. The Cathars were part of a widespread spiritual reform movement in Mediaeval Europe that began about 653, when Constantine-Silvanus brought a copy of the Gospels to Armenia. In the following centuries, a number of dissenting groups arose, gathered around charismatic preachers who rejected the authority of the Catholic Church. The groups based their beliefs and practices on the Gospels, rather than on Church dogma and sought a return to the early Church and the faith of the Apostles. They claimed that their teaching was rooted in Scripture and part of Apostolic tradition. Sects such as the Paulicians in Armenia, Bogomils from Bulgaria and the Balkans, Arnoldists in northern Italy, Petrobrusians in southern France, Henricans in Switzerland and France, and Waldensians of the Piedmont area on the border of France and Italy, were violently persecuted and repressed. The Paulicians were ordered to be burned to death as heretics; the Bogomils were expelled from Serbia and later subjected to the Inquisition and the Bosnian Crusade; Peter of Bruys, leader of the Petrobrusians, was pushed into a bonfire by an angry mob in 1131; A number of prominent 12th-century preachers insisted on it being the responsibility of the individual to develop a relationship with God, independent of an established clergy. Henry of Lausanne criticised the priesthood and called for lay reform of the Church. He gained a large following. Henry's preaching focused on condemning clerical corruption and clerical hierarchy, and there is no evidence that he subscribed to Cathar teachings on dualism. |
Church Square (Columbus, Georgia) Church Square is a city block in downtown Columbus, Georgia home to two churches: First Baptist Church of Columbus and St. Luke United Methodist Church. The block, located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues and 11th and 12th Streets, is significant because it is the only remaining square designated for church use by Edward Lloyd Thomas, who surveyed the area in 1828 and drew up the original city plan. The square was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1980. The town of Columbus was established by an act of the Georgia legislature on December 24, 1827, one of only four cities in the state to be formed by government action. The area was surveyed by Edward Lloyd Thomas under the supervision of then-Georgia governor John Forsyth the following year. The city, which was to be located on the Chattahoochie River at Coweta Falls, was established to bring pioneers out to the western portion of the state, serving as an agricultural, industrial, and transportation hub, using the river as the source for all three of these operations. The 1828 plan included a rectangular grid of city blocks thirteen long and eight wide which encompassed the area bounded by what is now 17th Street, 10th Avenue, and the river, much of which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Columbus Historic District. At several locations throughout the area were "squares" dedicated to civic, religious, and academic use, among them Church Square between 2nd and 3rd Avenues and 11th and 12 Streets. Of the squares designated for religious use, Church Square is the only one to still be used for that purpose at present. Church Square has been home to a congregation of Baptists and one of Methodists since its inception. Lot B, the southern lot, was granted to the Methodists in 1828 while the northern Lot A was given to the Baptists in 1829. The Baptist congregation occupying the northern lot of the square was founded on February 14, 1829, under the name Ephesus Baptist Church. The congregation built a small wooden meeting house in 1830, which was later moved to the back of the lot and replaced by a brick building in 1840. Under the ministry of James H. DeVotie, a new structure was dedicated on October 25, 1859, and the congregation has met there ever since, later changing its name to the First Baptist Church of Columbus. The Greek Revival structure is the oldest sanctuary still extant in downtown Columbus. The sanctuary was originally built two stories tall with a Gothic steeple, although the steeple was removed during renovations in 1896–97. |

On 4 December 2012, the Chamber of Deputies voted to set up a Parliamentary Inquiry into allegations of SREL misconduct including the illegal bugging of politicians, purchase of cars for private use and allegations of taking payments and favours in exchange for access to officials. The inquiry heard from witnesses who claimed that SREL had conducted six or seven illegal wiretapping operations between 2007 and 2009, as well as covert operations in Iraq, Cuba and Libya. The report concluded that Juncker had to bear political responsibility for SREL's activities, that he had been deficient in his control over the service and that he had failed to report all of the service's irregularities to the enquiry commission. Juncker himself denied wrongdoing. After a seven-hour debate in the Chamber of Deputies on 10 July, the withdrawal of support from the Christian Social People's Party's coalition partner, the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP), forced Juncker to agree to new elections. Alex Bodry, President of LSAP and Chair of the Parliamentary Inquiry into SREL, declared his lack of confidence in Juncker, saying: "We invite the prime minister to take full political responsibility in this context and ask the government to intervene with the head of state to clear the path for new elections." Juncker tendered his resignation to the Grand Duke on 11 July. After the election, Juncker was succeeded on 4 December 2013 by Xavier Bettel. In 2004, the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers decided to replace the rotating chairmanship with a permanent president. Juncker was appointed as the first permanent president and assumed the chair on 1 January 2005. He was re-appointed for a second term in September 2006. Under the Lisbon Treaty, this system was formalised and Juncker was confirmed for another term. Juncker stepped down on 21 January 2013, when he was succeeded by Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem. During his period as "Mr. Euro", the group was instrumental in negotiating and supervising bailout packages for the countries that faced bankruptcy: Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Cyprus. Juncker was also an outspoken proponent of enhanced internal co-operation and increased international representation of the group. In a debate in 2011, during the height of the eurozone crisis, Juncker responded to a conference-goer's suggestion to increase the openness of the strategy discussions in the eurogroup, by stating: "When it becomes serious you have to lie". Scholars of financial markets have remarked that the quote is often taken out of context by critics; best practice amongst monetary policy committees in most states is to keep negotiations on decisions confidential to prevent markets from betting against troubled countries until they are finalised. |
Infrasexum Infrasexum is a 1978 American sexploitation film written, produced, edited and directed by Carlos Tobalina in his directorial debut. It stars Erroff Lynn as Peter Allison, an impotent middle-aged business executive who leaves his job and wife in search of liberation. The film's cast also includes Tobalina, Marsha Jordan, Maria Pia, William Larrabure, and Sharon Matt. Lee Pfeiffer of "Cinema Retro" called the film "downright weird", writing: "Whatever early talent Tobalina might have conveyed on screen is compromised by the bare bones production budget, which was probably close to zero." He noted that the film would likely appeal to "baby boomer males who want a trip back in time to an era in which such fare was considered daring and controversial", and to fans of cult sexploitation films. "Infrasexum" was brought to court in the state of Colorado on the charge of being "obscene material", but the court sided with defendant Tobalina. In response to the case, Tobalina filed a counterclaim against the prosecution, which included the mayor, state attorney general, and governor of Denver. On June 27, 1970, manager Asa Lloyd Peoples and projectionist Gerald L. Brooke were arrested for screening "Infrasexum" in a Birmingham, Alabama movie theater. They were claimed to have violated two city ordinances regarding obscene material, and the film was seized and held as evidence to be used in their prosecution. Peoples, Brooke, and the company that owned the theater filed a lawsuit in federal district court, alleging that the ordinances in question were unconstitutional on account of their vague and broad natures, and for not providing accused parties with a proper hearing prior to their arrest or the material's seizure. The district court decided that Brooke would be enjoined from prosecution. In 2016, the film was restored in 2K and released on DVD by Vinegar Syndrome. |
XVII Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery II Indian Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery was a brigade of the Royal Horse Artillery formed at the outbreak of World War I. It served with 2nd Indian Cavalry Division on the Western Front. It was redesignated XVII Brigade, RHA in February 1917 and XVII Army Brigade, RHA just before being disbanded in April 1918. II Indian Brigade, RHA was formed in December 1914 for the 2nd Indian Cavalry Division in France. It commanded Each battery was armed with six 13 pounder guns. The brigade served with the 2nd Indian Cavalry Division on the Western Front and the brigade commander acted as Commander Royal Horse Artillery (CRHA). In practice, the batteries were permanently assigned to the cavalry brigades, viz: In June 1916, 7th (Meerut) Cavalry Brigade (complete with V Battery, RHA) left the division and was reformed for service in Mesopotamia. Its place was taken by the Canadian Cavalry Brigade with its attached Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Brigade (A and B Batteries, RCHA each with four 13 pounders). Other than the Battle of the Somme in 1916 (Battle of Bazentin Ridge, 14–17 July and Battle of Flers-Courcelette, 15–22 September) and the Battle of Cambrai in 1917, the division was not involved in battle. Instead, it was held in reserve in case of a breakthrough, although it did send parties to the trenches on a number of occasions. They would hold the line, or act as Pioneers; such parties were designated as, for example, the Mhow Battalion. On 26 November 1916, 2nd Indian Cavalry Division was renamed 5th Cavalry Division. Consequently, on 24 February 1917, the brigade was redesignated as XVII Brigade, RHA. In March 1918, the 5th Cavalry Division was broken up in France. The British and Canadian units remained in France and the Indian elements were sent to Egypt to help constitute 2nd Mounted Division. The brigade became XVII Army Brigade, RHA at this time, though this new identity was short lived. On 13 March, G Battery, RHA joined from IV Brigade, RHA (3rd Cavalry Division) to bring the brigade back up to three batteries. On 9 April, G and N Batteries, RHA left for V Army Brigade, RHA. On 17 April 1918, the brigade HQ was dissolved. |
Two recent decades have seen two booms driven by the internet industry. First was the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, startup companies invigorated the San Francisco economy. Large numbers of entrepreneurs and computer application developers moved into the city, followed by marketing, design, and sales professionals, changing the social landscape as once-poorer neighborhoods became increasingly gentrified. Demand for new housing and office space ignited a second wave of high-rise development, this time in the South of Market district. By 2000, the city's population reached new highs, surpassing the previous record set in 1950. When the bubble burst in 2001, many of these companies folded and their employees were laid off. Yet high technology and entrepreneurship remain mainstays of the San Francisco economy. By the mid-2000s (decade), the social media boom had begun, with San Francisco becoming a popular location for tech offices and a common place to live for people employed in Silicon Valley companies such as Apple and Google. The Ferry Station Post Office Building, Armour & Co. Building, Atherton House, and YMCA Hotel are historic buildings among dozens of historical landmarks in the city according to the National Register of Historic Places listings in San Francisco. San Francisco is located on the West Coast of the United States at the north end of the San Francisco Peninsula and includes significant stretches of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay within its boundaries. Several picturesque islands—Alcatraz, Treasure Island and the adjacent Yerba Buena Island, and small portions of Alameda Island, Red Rock Island, and Angel Island—are part of the city. Also included are the uninhabited Farallon Islands, offshore in the Pacific Ocean. The mainland within the city limits roughly forms a "seven-by-seven-mile square", a common local colloquialism referring to the city's shape, though its total area, including water, is nearly . There are more than 50 hills within the city limits. Some neighborhoods are named after the hill on which they are situated, including Nob Hill, Potrero Hill, and Russian Hill. Near the geographic center of the city, southwest of the downtown area, are a series of less densely populated hills. Twin Peaks, a pair of hills forming one of the city's highest points, forms an overlook spot. San Francisco's tallest hill, Mount Davidson, is high and is capped with a tall cross built in 1934. Dominating this area is Sutro Tower, a large red and white radio and television transmission tower. |

Chithram Chithram () is a 1988 Indian Malayalam-language screwball comedy film written and directed by Priyadarshan. The film was produced by P. K. R. Pillai under his production house Shirdi Sai Creations, and stars Mohanlal, Ranjini, Nedumudi Venu, Poornam Vishwanathan, Sreenivasan, M. G. Soman, Sukumari, Lizy, Maniyanpilla Raju, and Shanavas, while Thikkurissy Sukumaran Nair makes a cameo appearance. The songs were composed by Kannur Rajan and film score by Johnson. Mohanlal won the Kerala State Film Award - Special Jury Award for his performance in this film. Kalyani (Ranjini) decides to marry her boyfriend Ravi (Shanavas) against her father Ramachandra Menon's (Vishwanathan) wishes. But Ravi breaks up when he comes to know that she would be disinherited. Kalyani's father, who stays in the United States, is unaware of the break up and comes home in Kerala to spend time with his daughter and son-in-law. This prompts family friend and Advocate Kaimal (Venu) to hire a thief, Vishnu (Mohanlal) to act as Kalyani's husband during Menon's vacation stay. "Chithram" was released during a Christmas weekend on 23 December 1988. The film was a phenomenal success at the Kerala box-office, it broke all existing records in Malayalam cinema until then. It had a theatrical run of 405 days in Little Shenoys (Ernakulam), it completed 366 days run with regular shows in two theatres—Little Shenoys (Ernakulam) and Ajantha (Trivandrum), and 200 days in four theatres—Little Shenoys (Ernakulam), Ajantha (Trivandrum), Asha (Kottayam), and Priya (Palakkad). Made on a budget of 44 lakh, the film grossed 6 crore at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever, surpassing "My Dear Kuttichathan" (1984). The film remains one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time. Kalyani (Ranjini) is the daughter of a wealthy NRI Ramachandran Menon (Poornam Vishwanathan) who resides in the United States. |
Then we can, again, find a point along the bottom three faces of the RGB cube, with the same hue and chroma as our color (using the intermediate value "X" for the second largest component of this color): Overlap (when formula_24 is an integer) occurs because two ways to calculate the value are equivalent: formula_28 or formula_29, as appropriate. Finally, we can find "R", "G", and "B" by adding the same amount to each component, to match lightness: Given a color with hue , chroma , and luma , we can again use the same strategy. Since we already have "H" and "C", we can straightaway find our point along the bottom three faces of the RGB cube: Overlap (when formula_24 is an integer) occurs because two ways to calculate the value are equivalent: formula_28 or formula_29, as appropriate. Then we can find "R", "G", and "B" by adding the same amount to each component, to match luma: Given a color with hue formula_111, saturation formula_112, and value formula_69, Given a color with hue formula_117, saturation formula_118, and luminance formula_34, This is a reiteration of the previous conversion. Value must be in range formula_123. With maximum component (i. e. value) and minimum component range (i. e. chroma) and mid-range (i. e. lightness) we get common hue: and distinct saturations: Mouse over the swatches below to see the "R", "G", and "B" values for each swatch in a tooltip. |
These hearings were designed to assess the threat a detainee might pose if released or transferred, and whether there were other factors that warranted his continued detention.

One such modern reverse shoulder implant system is the AltiVate Reverse®. More information on this system can be found on the DJO® website. Traditional shoulder replacement (known as anatomic shoulder replacement) was developed to treat glenohumeral arthritis and consists of resurfacing the native humeral head and glenoid to create smooth articular surfaces to provide pain relief and improved range of motion. Variations of this procedure have been performed as early as 1883. While most patients can achieve substantial clinical improvement using this approach, those with large rotator cuff tears have consistently demonstrated poor outcomes due to loss of the stability provided by these muscles. In 1972, U.S. orthopedic surgeon Charles S. Neer designed a fixed-fulcrum shoulder replacement in which he reversed the ball and socket geometry. Unfortunately, his design resulted in several early failures, leading him to abandon this concept. Multiple other surgeons throughout the world subsequently developed reversed ball and socket implants, and while some achieved reasonably good results, the concept never gained significant traction until French surgeon Paul Grammont developed his “Trompette” prosthesis in 1985. This was further modified into the Delta III prosthesis in 1991. As Grammont’s reverse ball and socket prosthesis gained popularity and began demonstrating reliable outcomes, he subsequently developed what would be known as the “Grammont Principles”, which were a set of rules that explained why his prosthesis was effective and why other reverse ball and socket designs failed. In 1998, U.S. orthopedic surgeon Mark Frankle began designing a reverse ball and socket prosthesis that did not adhere to the traditional Grammont Principles. He began patenting this device, the RSP (Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis), in 2002. Many doubted the effectiveness of his design and suggested that it would lead to higher failure rates, creating significant controversy and debate within the orthopedic community. After validating his theories with rigorous scientific studies and making several key modifications to his design, Frankle ultimately developed an implant that was able to address the shortcomings of the Grammont-style prostheses while also showing excellent survivorship. Multiple studies have since gone on to demonstrate the advantages of his design principles, and many of the modern generation reverse shoulder implants have mirrored them. |
Principal cast included Kim Crosby (Sally), Leslie Denniston (Phyllis), Jeff McCarthy (Ben), Lara Teeter (Buddy), Joy Franz (Solange), Marni Nixon (Heidi), and Donna McKechnie (Carlotta). Stephen Sondheim attended one of the performances. The Dublin Concert was held in May 1996 at the National Concert Hall. Directed by Michael Scott, the cast included Lorna Luft, Millicent Martin, Mary Millar, Dave Willetts, Trevor Jones Bryan Smyth, Alex Sharpe, Christine Scarry, Aidan Conway and Enda Markey. A concert was held at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, on December 8, 1996, and broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on February 15, 1997. The cast starred Julia McKenzie (Sally), Donna McKechnie (Phyllis), Denis Quilley (Ben) and Ron Moody (Buddy). This show recreated the original Broadway score. "Follies" was performed in concert at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in February 1998 as the highlight of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and had three performances.

Jesse Metcalfe said, "She hasn't (come back) – she hasn't as yet. But I think for the producers of the show, it's an open invitation." The Staff of Yahoo.com said that Principal was "the one major missing piece" of the new "Dallas" and made notion that a possible return could potentially happen in the future, critically saying: "The drama. The mystery. The intrigue. Specifically, where is Victoria Principal?" "Entertainment Weekly" said that Principal was "certainly missed" as original character Pam when reviewing the new series. Morgan Jeffrey of "Digital Spy" said that Principal was "unlikely" to return to the new series due to lack of interest in the project, but the door would always be open. He said, "She's indicated that it's something she's not interested in." The character of Pamela was a cornerstone for "Dallas"; the lynchpin of the Barnes/Ewing family around which the soap was originally structured. At the beginning of the serial in 1978, Pamela was the newly married wife of Bobby Ewing, the youngest son of oil baron Jock Ewing and Miss Ellie Ewing. The fictional history of the character has been told via the serial, and the made-for-television movie "", which told the backstory of the Ewing family and the Barnes family. "Dallas: The Early Years" told the background of the longstanding feud between Jock Ewing and Pamela's father, Willard "Digger" Barnes, and how Pamela came to be raised. Later, on Digger's deathbed, Pamela comes to find that Digger is not her biological father, but that her biological father is in fact Hutch McKinney, who had an affair with her mother Rebecca Barnes while she was married to Digger. Digger caught them together, and Digger ended up shooting Hutch dead in a temper and burying Hutch's body on Southfork land. Digger then brought up Pamela as if she were his own daughter, becoming her legal father. Pamela's mother, Rebecca, left Digger and her children behind in mysterious circumstances when Pamela was a year old, giving Digger the impression that she was dead. Pamela and Cliff were both raised by Digger and Digger's sister, their aunt Maggie. As a member of the Barnes family, Pamela was initially met with suspicion and hostility from the rival Ewing family after she had married Bobby Ewing and moved onto the Southfork Ranch to live with her new husband. |
At a three-way junction with short County Route 15 (CR 15), US 6 reaches the Port Jervis city limit. Signs point to New Jersey Route 23, which begins a few hundred feet to the south, just past the I-84 overpass. From here traffic on US 6 grows lighter as it parallels I-84 for the next 17 miles (27 km). Trucks going through this stretch are limited to 10 tons (9.1 tonnes). It slowly traverses up the Shawangunk Ridge alongside the Interstate Highway and then down again. Just before exit 3, it crosses under I-84 again. After putting at least a mile between the two, US 6 starts to run a long straight course, as Grand Army of the Republic Highway, through the wetlands of Greenville, then through gently rolling hills taking it to South Centreville, where Minisink Valley High School and the district's other schools are concentrated. At the hamlet of Slate Hill, NY 284, another route down to New Jersey, comes in from the south. US 6 continues through very rural countryside through here. Shortly before Middletown, it crosses over I-84 and turns right onto NY 17M, crossing over the Interstate Highway yet again. This is US 6's last crossing of I-84 west of the Hudson River. The overlap between US 6 and NY 17M continues for another 5 miles (9 km), crossing the Wallkill River, through slightly more developed countryside to Goshen, where the two routes join the NY 17 freeway (future I-86) at exit 123. NY 17M leaves the freeway several exits to the east, but US 6 stays with it for 13 miles (21 km), connecting to NY 17A, NY 207, NY 94 and NY 208 in the villages of Goshen, Chester, and Monroe respectively. It breaks from the freeway outside of Harriman by way of a long overpass that leaves just before the Quickway ends at the junction with the north–south portion of NY 17, NY 32 and the New York State Thruway, an area often jammed with traffic from nearby Woodbury Common Premium Outlets on busy weekends. Another portion of traffic is bound for the United States Military Academy at West Point, per the signs on the Thruway directing drivers to use eastbound US 6 for that purpose. With the Thruway behind, US 6 climbs the side of a mountain, just as it does after Port Jervis. |
Ro-langs A ro-langs is a zombie-like creature from Tibetan folklore. Ro is the word for corpse and Langs is the perfect tense of "to rise up", so Ro-Langs literally means "a risen corpse". A ro-langs is usually created by a gdon spirit, or a sorcerer. A ro-langs cannot speak or bend over, it signals its victims by wagging its tongue back and forth. They can not bend at any joints, which makes them walk with a stiff-armed lurch. In regions of Tibet there are low doorways to keep the ro-langs out. The tantric types of ro-langs are raised from the dead through a ritual for personal reasons, such as to serve a necromancer and satisfy his lust for the power of the occult. A religious history written by Kun-dga'- snying-po contains one example. Na-ra-da gained mystical powers and set off to raise a ro-langs. He enlisted the help of a Buddhist Votary. When the tongue was cut off of the ro-langs, it turned into a sword of occult power, and the body turned into gold. The tantric type resembles the voodoo zombie. Demonic ro-langs are created by an evil spirit with the goal of contaminating other humans; they are independent, and do not serve a master. They are created by either a gdon spirit that has broken its oath and become evil, or a bgegs spirit, which is already evil. Once the consciousness has left the body, the evil spirit enters the body before it is buried. Demonic ro-langs have the power to infect other humans by touching them on the head. The idea of this type of ro-lang has helped shape the zombie in the film industry. A ro-langs can be described in one of three storytelling formats. A legendary story consists of an incident that occurred many years ago, and has been told of for centuries. The characters described in the stories are often labeled without names, instead with title such as "mother", "father", "prince", etc. This makes them difficult to trace back to the original event. In an epidemic story, a ro-langs rises and infects many people, often in one night. The ro-langs disease is transmitted by a ro-langs touching a person on the head. The story often ends with the ro-langs being defeated. A comatose story takes place at a definite location, a short time ago. |
In 1912, the American paleontologists John Mason Clarke and Rudolf Ruedemann assigned "Strabops" to the Eurypteridae family, as well as affirming the possession of a twelfth segment and changing the position of the eyes from anterolateral (in the middle of the front) to lateral. In his book "Cambrian Merostomata" of 1939, the American paleontologist and geologist Gilbert Oscar Raasch considered the descriptions of the joint authorship of 1912 erroneous and agreed with Beecher on all aspects of his description, except for some reservations about the ocelli. Despite its initial classification as a eurypterid, Raasch admitted that the description of "Strabops" concurred with the old thought of what an aglaspidid was. It is possible that Beecher was unaware of the similarity between it and "Aglaspis" because of the distorted illustration of the latter by the American zoologist and paleontologist Robert Parr Whitfield. Therefore, Raasch placed "Strabops" under the family Aglaspididae in the order Aglaspida. In 1971, the Swedish geologist and paleontologist Jan Bergström tentatively removed Strabopidae (at that time containing "Strabops" and "Neostrabops") and Paleomeridae (only containing "Paleomerus") from the order Aglaspidida based on the fact that the head tagma was too short to accommodate the six pairs of appendages then assumed to be present in aglaspidids. Instead, he classified them in an uncertain order in the Merostomoidea class together with the emeraldellids. Ironically, Bergström speculated that the number of pairs of appendages present in the three genera could be fewer than seven, as well as including a possible antennal segment. This is currently observed as an overestimate. A study published by Derek Ernest Gilmor Briggs "et al." in 1979 has shown that "Aglaspis spinifer" had between four and five pairs of appendages, but not six, weakening Bergström's argument. In 1997, Bergström and Hou Xianguang, a Chinese paleontologist, completely removed Strabopidae (recognizing Paleomeridae as a junior synonym), as well as the family Lemoneitidae (containing "Lemoneites"), from the order Aglaspidida to erect a new order, Strabopida, this time suggesting a number of no more than two pairs of appendages. |

Homelessness in Greece Homelessness in Greece refers to the state or process of sleeping in housing that is below the minimum standard or lacking secure tenure, in relation to the nation of Greece. Austerity measures and the ongoing fiscal crisis have significantly spurred the rise in homelessness in Greece in the 21st century. Instances of homelessness have been dominantly concentrated in the city of Athens. Homelessness remains a relatively under-examined area of social policy in Greece, with the first organised counting for homeless people taking place in May 2018. Governments and non-profit organisations alike have made efforts to counter this phenomenon. A definition of homelessness was written into Greece’s national legislation in 2012. Article 29 of Law 4052 includes two defining provisions. Firstly, the homeless are “all persons legally residing in the country, that have no access, or have unsafe access to sufficient privately owned, rented or bestowed housing that meets the required specification and has basic water services and electricity.” Secondly, the term homeless includes those who live in temporary institutions, hostels, on the street, or “other inappropriate accommodation.” Favouritism of the free market became more prevalent in Southern Europe in the late 1980s as well as 1990s, manifesting as cuts to social welfare and deregulation of urban development. Prior to this, government already encouraged small-scale property ownership as a free market good. Constructing without a building permit became commonplace and vulnerable groups relied on charities or religious bodies for support. Housing protection became identified as a constitutional right in the 1980s, but no relevant policy developments were made. Family provision in Greece plays a large role in the welfare model in place of the government, as views regarding the sanctity of marriage and solidarity between generations are more pronounced in Greece than other nations. These values encouraged families to shelter members, especially female members, from facing homelessness whilst those without kin networks were further entrenched. Liberalization of the labour market and services market liberalization were among instruments enacted in response to competitiveness in 2010. More recently, the increase in Airbnb rentals in urban centres and tourist areas has increased average rent prices, making it more difficult for locals to find adequate accommodation arrangements. Low exports and prevalent corruption led to a weak economy after the 2004 Olympics. The subsequent public deficit was counteracted by borrowing, but the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-08 made markets more fragile and Greece was forced to further borrow from global markets with higher interest rates. The Greek debt in relation to GDP reached 109.4% in 2008 and government revenue stagnated during 2001-2007. |
Johnson–Kearns Hotel The Johnson–Kearns Hotel is a historic hotel building in Springville, Utah, that was built in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The building is located at 94 West 200 South (within the Springville Historic District, and includes Late Victorian architecture. It has been known at times as the Johnson Hotel, the Kearns Hotel, the Manitou Hotel, and the Valley Tavern Hotel. The Johnson Hotel was one of only three hotels in Springville in 1900. It was opened and operated by Moses and Ann Kearns Johnson. The Kearns family operated it during 1910–37. |

When the speed of the electron exceeds about 1.3 million meters per second, collisions with a mercury atom become inelastic. This speed corresponds to a kinetic energy of 4.9 eV, which is deposited into the mercury atom. As shown in the figure, the electron's speed is reduced, and the mercury atom becomes "excited". A short time later, the 4.9 eV of energy that was deposited into the mercury atom is released as ultraviolet light that has a wavelength of precisely 254 nm. Following light emission, the mercury atom returns to its original, unexcited state. If electrons emitted from the cathode flew freely until they arrived at the grid, they would acquire a kinetic energy that's proportional to the voltage applied to the grid. 1 eV of kinetic energy corresponds to a potential difference of 1 volt between the grid and the cathode. Elastic collisions with the mercury atoms increase the time it takes for an electron to arrive at the grid, but the average kinetic energy of electrons arriving there isn't much affected. When the grid voltage reaches 4.9 V, electron collisions near the grid become inelastic, and the electrons are greatly slowed. The kinetic energy of a typical electron arriving at the grid is reduced so much that it cannot travel further to reach the anode, whose voltage is set to slightly repel electrons. The current of electrons reaching the anode falls, as seen in the graph. Further increases in the grid voltage restore enough energy to the electrons that suffered inelastic collisions that they can again reach the anode. The current rises again as the grid potential rises beyond 4.9 V. At 9.8 V, the situation changes again. Electrons that have traveled roughly halfway from the cathode to the grid have already acquired enough energy to suffer a first inelastic collision. As they continue slowly towards the grid from the midway point, their kinetic energy builds up again, but as they reach the grid they can suffer a second inelastic collision. Once again, the current to the anode drops. At intervals of 4.9 volts this process will repeat; each time the electrons will undergo one additional inelastic collision. While Franck and Hertz were unaware of it when they published their experiments in 1914, in 1913 Niels Bohr had published a model for atoms that was very successful in accounting for the optical properties of atomic hydrogen. These were usually observed in gas discharges, which emitted light at a series of wavelengths. Ordinary light sources like incandescent light bulbs emit light at all wavelengths. |
The winner was promised a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records, a Toyota Tundra pickup truck, and the opportunity to perform at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The sixth season also brought "Nashville Star" to the American CMT network for the first time. The cable network rebroadcast each episode the following Friday. Beginning with the show's second episode, CMT's Katie Cook joined the show as a correspondent. For the first time in the show's history, a companion radio show was developed to complement the television program. "Nashville Star Radio" debuted each Thursday evening on XM's "Highway 16". "NSR" featured the week's performances from the television show, as well as exclusive in-studio performances and interviews with the finalists and judges. AT&T became a major sponsor of the show, placing their logo on screen with each finalist's call-in vote line. AT&T sponsored the same service on "American Idol". Also, Toyota replaced Chevrolet as a sponsor, and offered its signature Tundra pickup as a prize to the winner. Guest Performers for the 2008 season included Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, Danity Kane, and Blake Shelton. Thirty-two-year-old Melissa Lawson won. Lawson had made it to the Top 75 on season 4 of American Idol. She released a single "What If It All Goes Right" that charted at No. 43 on the US Country charts and No. 79 on the general US chart. Second-placed Gabe Garcia, went on to form the Gabe Garcia Band. Coffey Anderson (also written Cofféy Anderson), a Los Angeles, California resident but originally from Bangs, Texas finished 4th. He had briefly been a contestant on season 2 of American Idol in 2003, making it to the Hollywood round. Coffey Anderson has released four albums: "Southern Man", "Me and You" and the spiritual Christian albums "Inspiration Vol. 1" and "Worship Unplugged 1". He enjoys huge popularity online, particularly with his compositions "Memphis", "Southern Man", "Rock 'n Roll Sally", "All Ye", "Let me Love You" and "Can I". He also has his own indie label Coffey Entertainment, LLC. Third-placer Shawn Mayer is currently releasing songs digitally, and fifth-placer Ashlee Hewitt is currently songwriting and working with close friend and fellow country singer Katie Armiger. With the release of "Teddy Gentry's Best New Nashville" through the Cracker Barrel music program in all 601 Cracker Barrel locations in 42 states, sixth-placer Laura Fedor becomes the first ever non-major-label-signed artist to be allowed in their music program, and the only artist besides the winner to have a prominent national release on a respected label. |
Kenny Young Kenny Young (April 14, 1941 – April 14, 2020) was an American songwriter, musician, producer and environmental campaigner who wrote and in some cases produced hit songs for The Drifters, Ronnie Dove, Herman's Hermits, Mark Lindsay, Reparata and the Delrons, Clodagh Rodgers, Quincy Jones, and Fox, among others. His most successful and famous songs as a writer include the Grammy Hall of Fame song "Under the Boardwalk" (co-written with Artie Resnick), and the Grammy Award winning song, "Ai No Corrida" (co-written with Chaz Jankel). Young was born as Shalom Giskan in Jerusalem in April 1941. After moving to the US with his parents aged 2, he grew up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and attended Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, Seward Park High School and the City University of New York (CUNY), where he majored in sociology and psychology. Aged 22, he started working as a songwriter for Bobby Darin's TM Music at the Brill Building. His first success as a writer was "Please Don't Kiss Me Again", an R&B chart hit for the Charmettes in 1963. He began writing with Artie Resnick, and the pair wrote "Under the Boardwalk", recorded by The Drifters in 1964 and later by The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, John Mellencamp, Billy Joe Royal, Bruce Willis, Tom Tom Club, Lynn Anderson and many other artists. His other songs written with Resnick included Ronnie Dove's chart hits "One Kiss for Old Times' Sake" and "A Little Bit of Heaven", both in 1965. Young also wrote Ronnie Dove's "When Liking Turns to Loving", as well as chart hits for Herman's Hermits ("Just a Little Bit Better" and "Don't Go Out Into the Rain") and The Seekers ("When Will the Good Apples Fall"). He also recorded as a singer in the 1960s, releasing several singles under his own name, and as The Squirrels, San Francisco Earthquakes, and more. In 1968, he wrote "Captain of Your Ship", recorded by Reparata and the Delrons. Although not a hit in the US, it became successful in Britain, and Young traveled to London with the band when they appeared on "Top of the Pops". Following the show, he met John Lennon and Ringo Starr, and decided to stay in London. In 1969, he had several UK hits as a writer and record producer for singer Clodagh Rodgers, including "Come Back and Shake Me" and "Goodnight Midnight", and produced singles by The Searchers. |
In addition, Vanessa L. Williams submitted this episode for consideration in the category of "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series" on her behalf. Mark Indelicato and Michael Urie also chose this episode respectively to submit for consideration of their work in the category of "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series," while Patti Lupone submitted this episode as her entry in the category of "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series". The song "Boys Wanna Be Her" by Peaches is played during Alexis's photo shoot. The song heard at the end of this episode is "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch. The episode was well-received because of Michael Urie's character. Notes Entertainment Weekly's Tanner Stransky: "Looks like my Betty wish came true. In my TV Watch last week, I pined for more focus on the supporting characters, and — voila! — an episode centered on Marc, his sexuality, and how he has not come out to his in-your-face, overbearing mother. Plus, some nice support from Amanda. And a bit from his "girlfriend" Betty, too. Simply awesome. And we were treated to Claire in the hospital, Willy hatching more ways to take over Mode (including an attempt to seduce Bradford!), and some always awkward conversation between Henry and Betty. Double awesome. All around, another great episode." |
Preoccupied by accidents and natural hazards, LST-57's crewmen almost forgot the war until rudely reminded them. At 02:28 on 6 April the U-boat torpedoed two merchantmen on LST-57's port side. The tank landing ship went to general quarters, but did not engage the enemy or participate in the rescue operation. One of the escorts, , sank "U-302", and ships closer to the two victims picked up survivors. LST-57 reached Milford Haven, Wales, on 14 April, only to be directed to proceed to Southampton immediately. She overtook a slow coastal convoy to that port and reached her destination on the 16th, mooring at the Fawley oil dock, downstream from Southampton, to discharge the diesel oil cargo. Later, at Southampton the tank deck was unloaded and the LCT launched. Over the next few weeks, LST-57 visited Plymouth, Falmouth, Dartmouth, Salcombe, and Brixham as planning for the invasion of the continent of Europe proceeded apace. On 2 June, at Brixham, LST-57 took on board six tanks, several "Long Toms" (155-millimeter guns), and ""...a handful of Army quartermasters and a reserve company of airborne infantry. It was a conglomeration,"" noted the tank landing ship's chronicler, ""but the Army was careful in its loading and did not want to lose an LST full of one type of soldier."" After bad weather forced the invasion force to postpone its scheduled departure on 4 June, LST-57 started toward France the following day as part of a slow convoy. LST-57 discharged her initial cargo and passengers at Utah Beach in the American sector of the Normandy Beachhead. Over the ensuing months, she visited all five of the Allied beaches: "Utah," "Omaha," "Juno," "Gold," and "Sword," delivering vital supplies and reinforcements from a variety of ports in southern England. After the Allied breakout at Saint-Lô late in July, the ship also carried supplies to the beach at Saint-Michel-en-Grève on the Brittany Peninsula. After November, LST-57 transported men and equipment from England to the French ports of Cherbourg, Rouen, and Le Havre and returned to England with Allied casualties and German prisoners of war. On 16 April 1945 LST-57 stood out of Plymouth, England, on her way back to the United States. Steaming by way of Hampton Roads, Virginia, the tank landing ship reached Houston, Texas in mid-May. |

"Coventry" was taking part in the Exercise Springtrain 82 near the British base of Gibraltar, during March 1982. Along with other vessels involved in the exercise she was detailed for service in the Falklands campaign. She had a Union Flag painted on the roof of her bridge and a black line painted through her funnel to her waterline to aid recognition, as the Argentines also operated two Type 42 destroyers. On 27 April, "Coventry", in company with , , and , entered the Total Exclusion Zone, a 200-mile cordon around the Falkland Islands. Alongside "Sheffield" and "Glasgow", "Coventry" would form the air defence vanguard for the aircraft carriers following behind. "Coventry"s contribution to the Falklands War was considerable. Her helicopter was the first to fire Sea Skua air-to-surface anti-ship missiles in action. Her Westland Lynx HAS.Mk.2 fired two Sea Skua missiles on 3 May at , the former . One missile missed and the other hit a small boat, knocking out the radio aerials and slightly injuring a crewman manning a 20 mm gun. "Glasgow"s Lynx fired two more Sea Skua, and the vessel retreated, with eight crew killed, eight wounded and heavy damage. Her damaged bridge is now on display at the Naval Museum in Tigre, Argentina. The vessel remained in service in the Argentine Navy until 2018. "Coventry" was the first warship to fire Sea Dart surface-to-air missiles in anger when the ship fired three on 9 May at two Learjets of Escuadrón Fénix, just missing the aircraft. reported that her radar tracked the missiles merging with the pair of contacts (call signs Litro and Pepe), but they missed the aircraft. "Coventry"s captain, David Hart Dyke, claimed that two A-4C Skyhawks of Grupo 4 were shot down by Sea Darts (C-303 and C-313). However, both were actually lost to bad weather, and both wrecks were found on South Jason Island, one on the northwest side of the cliffs, the other in shallow waters on the southwest. Lt Casco and Lt Farias were both killed. The first confirmed kill made by "Coventry" was an Aérospatiale Puma helicopter of 601 Assault Helicopter Battalion, shot down by a Sea Dart over Choiseul Sound, killing its three-man crew. |
A justification of Zerahiah's critique was written by Ezra Malki under the title "Shemen la-Ma'or," and since 1552 the "Sefer ha-Ma'or" has always been printed together with Alfasi. Additionally, Zerachiah wrote the book "Sefer Ha-Tsava", which explained 13 principles of "drasha" used in Gemarah and composed various halakhoth related to shechita and Niddah, etc. At the same time endeavored to show that Alfasi had not observed the principles laid down in the Talmud for halakic interpretation. This work, like its predecessor, was criticized by Naḥmanides, who justified Alfasi. Major differences in opinion also emerged between Zerachiah and the Ravad III who wrote objections to the "Sefer Ha-Maor". Zerachiah replied in kind, writing objections to the Ravad's work "Baalei Ha-Nefesh" which were full of sarcasm and personal attacks. Both the "Sefer Ha-Tsava" and the criticism of Naḥmanides were inserted in the "Sefer Temim De'im" (§§ 225, 226, Venice, 1622), and were also published separately at Shklov in 1803. Zerachya was likewise the author of the following works: "Hilkot Sheḥiṭah u-Bediḳah," mentioned in the "Sefer ha-Ma'or" at the end of the first chapter on the treatise Ḥullin; "Hassagot 'al Ba'ale ha-Nefesh," a critique of RABaD's treatise on the laws relating to women, published in part with the "Ba'ale ha-Nefesh" (Venice, 1741; Berlin, 1762); "Dibre Ribot," a controversy with RABaD on civil jurisprudence, mentioned in the "Sefer ha-Ma'or" on Baba Meẓi'a and cited in part by Bezaleel Ashkenazi in his "Shiṭṭah Meḳubbeẓet" on Baba Meẓi'a, p. 98a; "Sela' ha-Maḥaloḳot," mentioned in the "Sefer ha-Ma'or" at the end of the first chapter of Shebu'ot; "Pitḥe Niddah," quoted by the author's grandson in his "Bedeḳ ha-Bayit" (vii. 3); a dissertation on the Mishnah Kinnim, published at Constantinople in 1795; and responsa, mentioned in the "Sefer ha-Ma'or" at the end of the second chapter of Giṭṭin and quoted in the "Sefer ha-Terumot" (xlv. 1). |

Because the Pennsylvania Industrial Union Council held title to the federation's headquarters in Harrisburg, the reconstituted PFL had to go to court to regain possession and it regained its building in May 1938. The two state groups in Pennsylvania would not merge until 1960, five years after the AFL and the CIO had merged in 1955. Negotiations on a merger had begun soon after the national bodies merged, but it took the personal intervention of AFL-CIO President George Meany to effect a merger in Pennsylvania leaving only one state, New Jersey, remained unmerged. In an odd turn of events, Joseph McDonough resigned as president of the Pennsylvania AFL on June 7, 1960, to protest the election of Earl C. Bohr as the state federation's secretary-treasurer. McDonough backed Mullin, and the Philadelphia caucus, which represented a majority of votes at the convention, initially recommended Mullin for the post. Bohr supporters successfully challenged this motion on the floor, arguing a recommendation was out of order. Both men were nominated, but Bohr beat Mullin, 1,074 to 754. McDonough, who was in line to be co-president of the merged AFL-CIO, immediately quit. Joseph F. Burke became president of the Pennsylvania AFL for the next two days. In 1960, the Pennsylvania AFL–CIO had 1 million members. Its first presidents were Joseph F. Burke, an AFL building trades union leader from Philadelphia and Harry Boyer, a CIO steelworkers union leader from Reading, Pennsylvania). The co-presidency lasted just two years, after which Boyer became the sole president. He remained president from 1962 until 1982, and was 78 at the time of his retirement By 2011, the state federation represented 900,000 workers, dropping to just 800,000 in 2012. In 2014, the Pennsylvania AFL–CIO endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf and his running mate for lieutenant governor, Mike Stack. |

In 1987, the church was the site of some scenes filmed for the movie "Ironweed" starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. In 1994, St. Joseph's Church canonically merged with Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in North Albany, and the St. Joseph's Church building ceased to be used. By then, St. Joseph's Church needed up to $2 million worth of repairs to fix cracked stained-glass windows, a leaking roof, the building's foundation, and a rusted and collapsed iron fence. The Albany Diocese bought St. Joseph's Church back from Colonel Gill in 1996 for $30,000. The Diocese then organized a committee composed of representatives from the church, the Ten Broeck Triangle Preservation League, Historic Albany Foundation, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Mayor Jerry Jennings, Albany County Executive Michael Breslin, and NYS Assemblyman John McEneny to figure out new uses for the building. Joseph's Church continued to deteriorate from lack of use and maintenance and was included on the Historic Albany Foundations's "Seven to Save" list of endangered historical sites in 2000. That year, St. Joseph's Church was sold for $1 to the Abate family, which owned a pair of night club/restaurants in Troy and a restaurant on Lark Street in Albany. The sale to the Abate family faced opposition from Albany Mayor Gerald Jennings when it was discovered that the Abates' bar in Albany owed back city and school taxes. The Ten Broeck Triangle community also opposed the Abates' plans when it was discovered that they had applied for a zoning variance to allow for noon to 4:00 am operating hours for the banquet facility that they planned to open in the church building. When the city determined that St. Joseph's Church was in imminent danger of collapse during the winter of 2001, the building was condemned. Emergency work was done to shore up the support columns and roof. In January 2003, the city took the Abates to court to secure an emergency eminent domain order. Within a month, the city turned the property over to the Historic Albany Foundation, which had obtained a $300,000 matching grant from the state for continued work on the building. In 2007, after St. Joseph's Church was made safe for public use, the Historic Albany Foundation and the city hosted "Obsequi" (a multi-media performance of dance and music) there. Further art and musical performances continue to be hosted as fundraising events at the church. |

If employers were to "devote a little time to instruct female workers", the committee felt they could undertake work in offices, retailing, and manufacturing. It also advised local recruiting committees (who were not subordinate to the Queensland War Council) to prepare to campaign for conscription. Meanwhile, Premier T. J. Ryan was subject to ongoing criticism that he had not enlisted himself despite being a man of suitable age. In discussing the completion of his war census card in January 1916, Ryan "hedged" his answer saying "there is great room for difference of opinion as to the best way to serve the Empire". In March 1916, when Ryan addressed a recruiting railly in Rockhampton urging men to enlist, a heckler in the crowd called out "I will go with you tomorrow" to which Ryan responded "I am prepared to go tomorrow" and claimed he had indicated his willingness to serve on his war census card. In August 1916, when pressed on his willingness to enlist, Ryan deflected the question suggesting that the proof was to be found in correspondence between him and the Queensland Recruiting Committee, but that the committee would have to agree to the release of the correspondence. Later in early October 1916, Ryan defended himself by producing a letter dated 18 March 1916 from Andrew Thynne, as chairman of the Queensland Recruiting Committee, withdrawing Ryan's call-up letter due to "the importance of your duties as Premier of the State and of your intended visit on public business to England". However, Thynne presented a different version of events in which Ryan had approached Thynne to get his call-up withdrawn because of the impending visit. In Thynne's view, now that the visit was completed "There is nothing now that I know of to prevent Mr Ryan from enlisting". Ryan then accused Thynne of "wilfully misrepresenting" their conversation. Although it was constitutionally possible for the Australian Government to have introduced conscription, it was a controversial move to do so in the face of considerable opposition demonstrated by the public and politicians. Therefore, the Australian Prime Minister, Billy Hughes, decided to hold a plebiscite on 28 October 1916 to obtain a symbolic mandate from the Australian people. On Wednesday 4 October 1916, Hughes came to Brisbane to speak in support of the conscription plebiscite at the Exhibition Hall. On Sunday 15 October 1916, the Queensland Treasurer, Ted Theodore, spoke at Warwick opposing conscription, saying, amongst other things, that voluntary recruitment had only failed because of "the incompetency and blundering mismanagement of the Queensland Recruiting Committee who had discouraged voluntary enlistment". |
As a surviving remnant of the former scale of the South Brisbane area, which has been substantially altered due to development, the former bank is significant for its rarity.

20th Continental Regiment The 20th Continental Regiment was a unit of the Connecticut Line in the 1776 establishment of the Continental Army. It was often referred to in records as Durkee's Regiment, after Colonel John Durkee, its commanding officer for most of its existence, or incorrectly as the 20th Connecticut Regiment. The regiment was posted in New Jersey during the early stages of the New York and New Jersey campaign. The regiment retreated with George Washington's army in late 1776, and then participated in the Battle of Trenton. Some of its men chose to overstay their enlistment and also saw action in the Battle of the Assunpink Creek and the Battle of Princeton in early 1777. The first colonel of the regiment was Benedict Arnold, but he never actually commanded the regiment, as he was in Quebec at the time of its creation, and he was soon thereafter promoted to brigadier general. John Durkee was its first lieutenant colonel, and was promoted and made the regiment's colonel in August 1776. |
With Conrail the last train ran to Summit in 1976. No longer using the Summit connection, the RVRR increasingly used the former Lehigh Valley connection and less and less used the former CNJ connection at Aldene. But despite these new predicaments the RVRR under Cahill kept trudging along, increasingly relying on its largest customer, Monsanto Corp. in Kenilworth, as slowly more smaller customers switched to trucks. In 1986, the Rahway Valley Railroad was unable to purchase liability insurance. The line was in turn sold to the Delaware Otsego Corporation (DO), which operates the New York, Sushquehanna, and Western. Nos. 16 & 17 were removed from the line in 1989, and put into service in Binghamton, NY. The replacement No. 120 of the NYS&W, an EMD SW9 built by EMD. The DO did little to revitalize the line. The DO deferred track maintenance and customers became disenchanted with the lines new management and turned to trucks. The DO, also operators of the former Staten Island Rapid Transit Line from Cranford to Linden, began using the Aldene connection which had received less maintenance in years past, so derailments were frequent. In 1988, the now-unused former Lehigh Valley connection was removed. Monsanto Corp. closed and Jaeger Lumber discontinued service in 1991. With virtually no business left to serve the Delaware Otsego Corp. closed the Rahway Valley Railroad along with the Staten Island Rapid Transit line in April 1992, the RVRR having only one customer left. The Morristown and Erie Railway (M&E) was contracted by the state of New Jersey in 2001 to refurbish and operate the southern portion of the former Rahway Valley Railroad. M&E operations on the southern portion of the former Rahway Valley Railroad commenced in July 2005 and connect to the newly restored Staten Island Railway on Staten Island, New York, and the national rail network via an interchange with Conrail Shared Assets in Cranford. As of 2010, the funding for the Rahway Valley rebuild by NJDOT are not enough to keep rebuilding. Now most of the line from Roselle Park-Union/Springfield border is cleared of trees and "thick" brush. New track has been inserted from the Union/Springfield border to the Union Wye (behind Rahway Avenue). All the sidings to the railway's potential future customers were left unconnected to the main line. Also track has been inserted in some parts of Kenilworth. |

In 1948, the Club produced its first World champion, Barbara Ann Scott. Scott also won the gold medal at the 1948 Winter Olympics. In 1949, the Minto Rink was destroyed by fire, and the Club built a new rink on Henderson Avenue. From 1955–1957, Carol Jane Pachl out of Minto won the Canadian women's senior championship. The Henderson Avenue rink was sold to the University of Ottawa in 1959. Don Jackson won the bronze medal for figure skating at the 1960 Winter Olympics, and went on to win the 1962 World Figure Skating Championships. Jackson would later become a coach at Minto. From 1974–1977, Lynn Nightingale skating out of Minto, won the Canadian women's senior championship. She placed ninth at the 1976 Winter Olympics and placed in the top ten at five world championships. In 1986, the Club opened a new facility on Lancaster Road in Ottawa. In 1992 and 1993, the pairs team of Penny Mann and Juan-Carlos Noria won silver in the Canadian pairs championship. The pair of Jennifer Boyce and Michel Brunet skating out of Minto won silver in the Canadian pairs championships of 1994 and 1995. Brunet then formed a team with Chantal Lefebvre and won the silvers in four consecutive Canadian championships behind the champion team of Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz, and competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics. |
Ashley Altadonna Ashley Altadonna (born in 1979) is an American transgender filmmaker, musician, author and activist. Altadonna first started her career path as the lead singer and guitarist in her band, New Blind Nationals. Altadonna shifted her career focus towards filmmaking and went on to produce three feature films. Ashley Altadonna was born and raised in Houston, Texas, in 1979. In 2000 she moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she currently lives. She studied at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and graduated with Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2004. Altadonna has been a proactive activist for the transgender community. Prior to Altadonna's film making career she was a singer and guitarist for a band called New Blind Nationals. During this period, Altadonna had not started her transition and was previously known as Kyle Altadonna. In 2004, the band split up and Altadonna switched her focus towards film making. In 2014, after Altadonna's transition a new band had been formed, The Glacial Speed. She spent most of her time on her musicianship and work as a filmmaker. Much of her music covers her transition as well as personal growth. One of Ashley Altadonna's goals in film making relates to trans activism. Specifically, she would like to educate individuals on the various challenges trans people face around the world. Altadonna had her own film production company formed in 2008 called Tall Lady Pictures, LLC. Altadonna has produced the following three short films: "Making the Cut" (2012), "Whatever Suits You" (2006)"," and "Playing with Gender" (2007)"." Many of Altadonna's films have been screened at festivals in New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco, as well as in London, Berlin, and Melbourne. Altadonna began working on her first film, the documentary "Making the Cut," in 2008"." The film synopsis surrounds Altadonna's goal to raise enough money for her gender reassignment surgery. The film explores and compares Altadonna's early life to her current life. Throughout the film she highlights the financial and social issues transgender individuals face and challenges social norms and ideologies on transgender people. In the film, Altadonna displays the many interviews she undergoes, and the many different fundraising activities she has been involved in during her activism for transgender rights. The reasons for these efforts, is for Altadonna to successfully raise $20,000 for her gender reassignment surgery as well as to fund this film, M"aking the Cut". |
Ruffey Creek Trail The Ruffey Creek Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows Ruffey Creek in the inner eastern suburbs of Templestowe and Doncaster in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Platypus are known to live in the creek. Leaving the Yarra River Trail at Odyssey House, cross the narrow suspension bridge to the south side of the Yarra River. The Ruffey Creek Trail is not signed at this point. Once over the river go immediately to the left (east) of the carpark and cross a very small wooden footbridge that crosses Ruffey Creek. At the juncture of Swilk St and Parker St, 0.8 km from the Yarra, a small street section is encountered. Head east along Parker Street, not Swilk Street, south down McLachlan Street and cross Foote Street where the path resumes. At Eumeralla Avenue continue south down the street to Montpellier Park. At this point there are two options: While steepish, the goat track is easier to navigate than the road route. Pass through the Williamsons Road underpass and the underpass at King Street to Ruffey Lake Park. At the lake the path forks to either side of lake. The right fork (south side) is not as steep as the north side. Continue along either path to Victoria Street. At the end of the trail, not far from Ruffey Lake Park is Schramm cottage built by the original German settlers. Yarra River Trail in the north. Dead end in the south about 90m from the corner of Victoria and George Streets by Ruffey Lake Park. Travelling 2 km to the north east by road leads to the Greengully Trail. Traveling south by 1.9 km on Middleborough Road leads to the Koonung Creek Trail. A quieter and safer alternative is to travel via Church Road parallel to and west of Middleborough Road. North end at . South end at . |

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dull ochreous-reddish. The stigmata are minute, fuscous, the first discal at two-fifths, the plical slightly beyond it, the second discal at two-thirds. There are minute fuscous dots on the apical third of the costa. The hindwings are whitish-grey. |
Scopula acinosa Scopula acinosa is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found on the island of São Tomé. |
Bishan Singh Bedi Bishan Singh Bedi (born 25 September 1946) is a former Indian cricketer who was primarily a slow left-arm orthodox bowler. He played Test cricket for India from 1966 to 1979 and formed part of the famous Indian spin quartet. He played a total of 67 Tests and took 266 wickets. He also captained the national side in 22 Test matches. Bedi wore a colourful patka and has voiced outspoken and forthright views on cricketing matters. In Indian domestic cricket, Bedi first played for Northern Punjab when only fifteen, having taken up cricket only two years previously, a particularly late age for this sport. He moved to Delhi in 1968–69 and in the 1974–75 season of the Ranji Trophy, he took a record 64 wickets. Bedi also represented Northamptonshire in English county cricket for many years. He finished his career with 1560 wickets in first-class cricket—more than any other Indian. His bowling has been described as graceful, even beautiful, and full of guile and artistry. He was an expert in flighting the ball, and was capable of making it hold it back or hurry forward and added subtle variations of spin. His action was so relaxed and co-ordinated that he was able to bowl all day with rhythm and control, a great asset to any captain. He had several very successful Test series: His best Test bowling was 7/98 against Australia at Calcutta in 1969–70, and his best match figures 10/194 at Perth in 1978–79, also against Australia. His best first class bowling was 7/5 for Delhi vs Jammu and Kashmir at New Delhi 1974–75. Although his batting was poor he hit a boundary off the second last ball in the Gillette Cup Semi Final for Northamptonshire vs Hampshire, winning the match by two wickets. His highest score of 50 not out, his only half century at Test level, was scored against New Zealand in Kanpur in 1976. Bedi was appointed captain of India in 1976, succeeding Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. His first Test victory as captain was against the West Indies at Port-of-Spain in the 3rd Test of the 1976 series in which India scored a then-record 406 in the fourth innings. This was followed up by a 2–0 series victory over New Zealand at home. However, after successive Test series losses to England (3–1 at home), Australia (3–2 away) and Pakistan (2–0 away), he was replaced as captain by Sunil Gavaskar. |
Arturo Maffei Arturo Maffei (9 November 1909, in Viareggio – 17 August 2006, in Torre del Lago) was an Italian long jumper and footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. He was the Italian long jump champion in 1930, 1932, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1940. His eight national championships tied with Attilio Bravi for the most of all time. He competed in 87 local and regional competitions between 1938 and 1951, collecting 66 wins, 16 second places, 3 third places and 2 non-podium finishes. He competed in 43 international competitions between 1930 and 1941, collecting 27 wins, 9 second places, 2 third places, and 5 non-podium finishes. He won second in the 1931 AAA Championships and placed first in that competition in 1938. He placed fifth at the 1934 European Championships in Torino, with a mark of 7.12 meters. He won a silver medal in the 1938 Championships in Paris, with a mark of 7.61 meters, although an unofficial winning mark of 7.78 meters was supposedly not counted due to a judge's mistake. He tied for fourth in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, with a mark of 7.73 meters. He first set the Italian long jump record on 19 May 1936 during Olympic trials with a distance of 7.42 meters, beating Virgilio Tommasi's 1929 mark of 7.41 meters. He broke his own mark on 29 June 1936 during the Italian Championships, with a mark of 7.50 meters. He broke his own national record again on 4 August 1936, with his Olympic mark of 7.73 meters. This mark stood as the Italian record until 17 August 1968, when Giuseppe Gentile set a mark of 7.91 meters. He played for ACF Fiorentina from 1926 until 1931, and joined the team's coaching staff from 1941 until 1956 as an athletic and goalkeeping coach under manager Fulvio Bernardini. |
Lewis Gilbert (actor) Lewis Gilbert (born Adolphe Louis Dardart; 1862 – 15 March 1925) was a French-born British actor and director of the silent era. Gilbert was born in 1862 in France. He debuted on a music hall stage with his parents, who had a song-and-dance act. His final film as an actor was "The Divorce of Lady X" (1938). He was married to Lina Naseby. He died in 1925 in Camberwell, London, England. |

This is because the Earth's atmosphere limits the sharpness of a star's image. Space-based telescopes are not limited by this effect and can accurately measure distances to objects beyond the limit of ground-based observations. Between 1989 and 1993, the "Hipparcos" satellite, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA), measured parallaxes for about stars with an astrometric precision of about , and obtained accurate measurements for stellar distances of stars up to away. ESA's "Gaia" satellite, which launched on 19 December 2013, is intended to measure one billion stellar distances to within , producing errors of 10% in measurements as far as the Galactic Centre, about away in the constellation of Sagittarius. Distances expressed in fractions of a parsec usually involve objects within a single star system. So, for example: Distances expressed in parsecs (pc) include distances between nearby stars, such as those in the same spiral arm or globular cluster. A distance of is denoted by the kiloparsec (kpc). Astronomers typically use kiloparsecs to express distances between parts of a galaxy, or within groups of galaxies. So, for example: Astronomers typically express the distances between neighbouring galaxies and galaxy clusters in megaparsecs (Mpc). Sometimes, galactic distances are given in units of Mpc/"h" (as in "50/"h" Mpc", also written ""). "h" is a parameter in the range reflecting the uncertainty in the value of the Hubble constant "H" for the rate of expansion of the universe: . The Hubble constant becomes relevant when converting an observed redshift "z" into a distance "d" using the formula . One gigaparsec (Gpc) is one billion parsecs — one of the largest units of length commonly used. One gigaparsec is about , or roughly of the distance to the horizon of the observable universe (dictated by the cosmic background radiation). Astronomers typically use gigaparsecs to express the sizes of large-scale structures such as the size of, and distance to, the CfA2 Great Wall; the distances between galaxy clusters; and the distance to quasars. For example: To determine the number of stars in the Milky Way, volumes in cubic kiloparsecs (kpc3) are selected in various directions. All the stars in these volumes are counted and the total number of stars statistically determined. The number of globular clusters, dust clouds, and interstellar gas is determined in a similar fashion. |
The (canonical) momentum operator is defined as the gradient of the translation operators near the origin: where formula_27 is the reduced Planck's constant. For example, what is the result when the formula_28 operator acts on a quantum state? To find the answer, translate the state by an infinitesimal amount in the formula_29-direction, and calculate the rate that the state is changing, and multiply it by formula_30. For example, if a state does not change at all when it is translated in the formula_29-direction, then its formula_29-component of momentum is 0. More explicitly, formula_33 is a vector operator (i.e. a vector consisting of three operators formula_34), defined by: where formula_36 is the identity operator and formula_37 is the unit vector in the formula_29-direction. (formula_39 are defined analogously.) The equation above is the most general definition of formula_33. In the special case of a single particle with wavefunction formula_16, formula_33 can be written in a more specific and useful form. In one dimension: or in three dimensions, as an operator acting on position-space wavefunctions. This is the familiar quantum-mechanical expression for formula_33, but we have derived it here from a more basic starting point. We have now defined formula_33 in terms of translation operators. It is also possible to write a translation operator as a function of formula_33. The method consists in expressing a given translation as a huge number formula_48 of consecutive tiny translations, and then use the fact that infinitesimal translations can be written in terms of formula_33: which gives the final expression: where formula_51 is the operator exponential and the right-hand side is the Taylor series expansion. For very small formula_52, one can use the approximation: Hence, the momentum operator is referred to as the generator of translation. A nice way to double-check that these relations are correct is to do a Taylor expansion of the translation operator acting on a position-space wavefunction. Expanding the exponential to all orders, the translation operator generates exactly the full Taylor expansion of a test function: So every translation operator generates exactly the expected translation on a test function if the function is analytic in some domain of the complex plane. In other words, if particles and fields are moved by the amount formula_56 and then by the amount formula_57, overall they have been moved by the amount formula_58. |
The government funds religion and ethics classes in public schools. The school must receive the approval of the parents of at least 10 students in order to hold religion classes; if such approval is not obtained, students take courses on general ethics. The Center for Educational Content at the Ministry of Education must review the content of the classes to verify they do not violate freedom of conscience. Students at state-supported national minority schools may attend classes on a voluntary basis on the religion “characteristic of the national minority.” Other nontraditional religious groups without their own state-supported minority schools may provide religious education only in private schools. In 2017, President Raimonds Vejonis and other senior government officials, including the prime minister's legal advisor, the president's legal advisors, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and members of parliament, met with Jewish groups to discuss property restitution. Despite the talks, the government did not take any additional steps to restitute property in accordance with the 2009 Terezin Declaration, which called for measures to provide for assistance, redress, and remembrance for victims of Nazi persecution. Authorities continued to monitor the activities of the Islamic Cultural Center in Latvia, according to the annual report of the Security Police. ICCL leader Lucins again said he did not view government monitoring of his group to be discrimination or a violation of ICCL members’ rights. President Vejonis and other senior government officials, including Speaker of the Parliament Inara Murniece, Prime Minister Maris Kucinskis, and Minister of Defense Raimonds Bergmanis, attended or spoke at Holocaust memorial events, including International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Latvian Holocaust Memorial Day, and the Rumbula Forest Massacre Memorial. Annual marches take place on March 16 to commemorate Latvians who fought in the grenadier divisions of the Waffen SS against the Soviet Red Army in World War II. The event is routinely condemned by various groups from outside of Latvia. In 2017, approximately 250 persons, including 10-15 SS veterans and three members of parliament from the All for Latvia Party, participated. Protesters also attended. The organizers, the Daugava Hawks group, characterized the annual march as a commemoration of national identity and remembrance of those who fought for independence, rather than as a glorification of Nazism. Police arrested five persons protesting against the march. Jewish community leaders have commented instances of anti-Semitism, particularly on the internet. Anti-Semitic comments included accusations that Jews do not belong in Latvia, that they do not deserve reparations for the Holocaust, or that they themselves participated in orchestrating the Holocaust. |
Red moki The New Zealand red moki or Australian banded morwong, "Cheilodactylus spectabilis", is a morwong, a species of fish found off southern Australia and the North Island of New Zealand from depths to 50 m. Although traditionally included in the genus "Cheilodactylus" in family Cheilodactylidae, based on genetic and morphological analyses it belongs in the genus "Chirodactylus" in family Latridae. This species is territorial and remains in that territory for its lifetime, often many hundred square metres. Red moki are also quite long lived, living up to 60 years in some individuals. Its length is up to 60 cm. |
Leslie White Leslie Alvin White (January 19, 1900, Salida, Colorado – March 31, 1975, Lone Pine, California) was an American anthropologist known for his advocacy of theories of cultural evolution, sociocultural evolution, and especially neoevolutionism, and for his role in creating the department of anthropology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. He was president of the American Anthropological Association (1964). White's father was a peripatetic civil engineer. White lived first in Kansas and then Louisiana. He volunteered to fight in World War I, but saw only the tail end of it, spending a year in the US Navy before matriculating at Louisiana State University in 1919. In 1921, he transferred to Columbia University, where he studied psychology, taking a BA in 1923 and an MA in 1924. Although White studied at the same university where Franz Boas had lectured, White's understanding of anthropology was decidedly anti-Boasian. However, his interests even at this stage of his career were diverse, and he took classes in several other disciplines and institutions, including philosophy at UCLA, and clinical psychiatry, before discovering anthropology via Alexander Goldenweiser's courses at the New School for Social Research. In 1925, White began studies for a Ph.D. in sociology/anthropology at the University of Chicago and had the opportunity of spending a few weeks with the Menominee and Winnebago in Wisconsin. After his initial thesis proposal—a library thesis, which foreshadowed his later theoretical work—he conducted fieldwork at Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. Ph.D. in hand, he began teaching at the University at Buffalo in 1927, where he began to rethink the antievolutionary views that his Boasian education had instilled in him. In 1930, he moved to Ann Arbor, where he remained for the rest of his active career. The period at Buffalo marked a turning point in White's biography. It was then that he developed a worldview—anthropological, political, ethical—that he would hold to and advocate until his death. The student response to the then-controversial Boasian antievolutionary and antiracist doctrines that White espoused helped him formulate his own views regarding sociocultural evolution. In 1929, he visited the Soviet Union and on his return joined the Socialist Labor Party, writing articles under the pseudonym "John Steel" for their newspaper. White went to Michigan when he was hired to replace Julian Steward, who departed Ann Arbor in 1930. |
John Davie (British Army officer) Lieutenant-Colonel John Davie (3 March 1921 – 29 June 2015) was a British army officer who served on an anti-aircraft battery during the Siege of Malta and later won the Military Cross fighting communist insurgents during the Malayan Emergency. Davie was born in London, where his Scottish father had a timber importing business. He was educated at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk, and he was briefly educated at the East Anglian Institute of Agriculture, where he arrived in September 1940. In November it was shut down because of the threat of a German invasion, and Davie joined the ranks of the Royal Artillery. After serving in the Malta Campaign, he went to a War Office Selection Board in Cairo and was commissioned into the Seaforth Highlanders. Joining the regiment's 6th Battalion, he saw active service in Mandate Palestine, the Italian Campaign, and north-west Europe, finding himself in Lübeck at the end of the war. In 1945 he married Coralie Garnham, and they had one son and one daughter. Remaining in the army as a regular soldier, in 1948 Davie served with the 1st Battalion the Seaforth Highlanders in the Malaya Emergency, commanding a company in jungle fighting and leading it for eighteen months in operations against the Communist terrorists, gaining the Military Cross. In the following ten years, he saw served in West Germany, Singapore, Brunei, and North Borneo. In 1966, he was posted to the Ministry of Defence as assistant military secretary and retired from the Army in 1968. He then joined Curtis and Henson, land and estate agents, in London, before settling in Scotland, where he was a land agent in the first Savills office to open there. After managing estates across Scotland, in 1973 he joined the National Trust for Scotland, first as its representative in the north-east and then as its deputy director. He retired at the age of 65 but continued to work part-time as factor on an estate in the Isle of Arran. Davie was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1962; in Scotland he served as a Member of the Royal Company of Archers, the Queen's Bodyguard. |

Poor Removal Act 1795 The Removal Act of 1795 was an Act of Parliament which modified the Settlement Act 1662, an Act which concerned when a pauper could receive Poor relief. The effect of the Removal Act was "that no non-settled person could be removed from a parish unless he or she applied for relief" |
He made his parents’ home in Pakistan available to the "bros". He suggested members of the U.K. group travel to Canada for weapons training. He also proposed to Khyam via email that a supporter of the Khyam group be sent to Israel on a suicide mission. – On March 29, 2004, the RCMP arrested the appellant and searched his house in Orleans, Ottawa. They seized the "Hi-Fi Digimonster", electronic components and devices, parts suitable for constructing more remote arming devices, documents corroborating the assembly process for the device, instructional literature and tools, military calibre rifles and ammunition, other weapons, hard drives, $10,300 in one-hundred dollar bills, military books and jihad-related books. No blasting caps, other detonators or explosives components were discovered. The appeal was won by the Crown and the court increased Khawaja sentence to life in prison. He is unlikely to get parole as long as he is housed in a supermax prison. Khawaja is held at the Special Handling Unit at Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines Prison in Quebec. He has been there since 2009 and has been kept in segregation. |
María Luisa Landín María Luisa Landín (9 October 1921 – 20 June 2014) was a Mexican singer. She sang bolero, Latin ballad and mariachi styles and was most noted for bolero. She began her career singing as a duo with her sister, but her most memorable works were as a solo singer after their duet broke up. Her 1949 interpretation of "Amor perdido" by Puerto Rican composer Pedro Flores became her signature song, is the second most frequently played song in the history of the Mexican broadcasting and earned her the title "Queen of the Bolero". She recorded over 150 songs with RCA Records between 1939 and 1967, was a featured artist on La Voz Dominicana Television and appeared as a singer in several movies. María Luisa Landín Rodríguez was born on 9 October 1921 in the Tepito neighborhood of Mexico City, Mexico to Magdalena Rodríguez, a singer, and Irineo Landín, a guitarist. She began singing with her sister Avelina Landín in 1935 at parties and private functions and they were hired for their first professional work by the radio stations XEYZ and XEFO the following year, under the name "Pyrite and Jade". In 1938, they were hired to an exclusive contract with the broadcaster XEQ, parent company of XEFO, and were promoted as rivals of the sister-duo "Hermanas Águila" (the Águila Sisters). In 1939, the sisters changed their name to the "Hermanas Landín" (Landin Sisters) and signed with RCA Victor. The duo was very popular and recorded many songs. Some of the most noted were "Arrejúntateme", (1939) "La Pendenciera" (1939), "Vuelve, vuelva" (1939), "Mi destino fue quererte" (1940), "Yo quiero de eso" (1940), "Pasional" (1941), "La Perlita" (1941), and "Por quererte tanto" (1941), among others. At the height of their popularity, Avelina married Ángel Zempoalteca and retired from singing in 1942. Even before their split, Landín had made several solo recordings, including "Allá" (1941), "Sin ti" (1941), "Una canción más" (1941), "Vuelve" (1941) and "Canción del alma" (1942). |
Luis Almonte Luis Almonte (born January 19, 1963) is a Dominican record producer, audio engineer, mixing engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. His production, songwriting, and mixing credits include Miguelito, single, which won the 2008 Grammy Award for Grammy Award for Best Latin Urban Album. Almonte was born and raised in En Villa Fundacion, Bani Provincia Peravia in Dominican Republic. |
From 1974, boundary changes moved it into County Durham, but this was reviewed in 1987 after much protest, and it reverted to within the Yorkshire boundary. In 1995, the Tan Hill Inn became the first public house in the UK to be granted a licence to hold weddings and civil ceremonies, after new laws were established to allow couples to marry in places other than churches or register offices. The pub is a free house and has served a range of beers from the Black Sheep and Theakston breweries. Visiting bands have included Arctic Monkeys, Mark Ronson and British Sea Power. In May 2007, Kentucky Fried Chicken threatened legal action against the Tan Hill Inn for trademark infringement over the use of the term "Family Feast" on the inn's Christmas Day menu, but on 10 May 2007 KFC confirmed that it would not be pursuing the case. Revellers celebrating New Year's Eve at the pub on 31 December 2009 were unable to leave the pub for three days as they were snowed in. In July 2017 the pub was put up for sale by landlady Louise Peace who had run it for 13 years with her husband Mike. Since mid-2018, the owners have been Andrew Hields and Mike Kenney. They planned to install glass-roofed pods to allow guests to view the Aurora borealis (Northern Lights) from their beds. They were also considering a major restoration: adding more showers and cleaning facilities to the three bunk rooms, as well as charging points and privacy screens; the rooms would be more comfortable and offer more character after the renovations. A report at the time indicated that the owners planned to open the barn as a carvery and to add a second bar. In 2019, the facility was encouraging camper vans and caravans and campers to stay for a moderate nightly fee, and a venue for live music acts was in operation. The guest rooms were refurbished in 2019, and electrical work completed; the other plans for improvements were still in the works. Additional plans for the future included a rustic spa and outdoor pool. During the 1980s the pub appeared in an advert starring Ted Moult for replacement-window company Everest, and it appeared in the first Vodafone advert, broadcast during the 1990s. Everest returned in 2008 to film a new advert with Craig Doyle and installed new windows and solar panels. The inn was visited by James May and Oz Clarke in "Oz and James Drink to Britain", first broadcast in 2009. In late 2017, the inn again featured in TV coverage, for Waitrose supermarkets' Christmas advertising campaign. |

Schools in the district include Elkhart Lake Elementary/Middle School and Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School. The Elkhart Lake Public Library was established in 1906 and was originally located in an old hotel. The library serves Elkhart Lake and several communities in the area. Elkhart Lake is located approximately one mile southeast of the northern terminus of the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive. The Scenic Drive was part of the road racing circuit used in the 1950s. Wisconsin Highway 67 runs north/south through the city. Secondary routes include County Highway A from the northeast. County Highway J runs concurrent with the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive through the city. They enter the city from the northwest, run north/south through the center of the city, and exit to the southwest. |
Kirkland made his Wednesday debut in a 4–2 League Cup win over Oldham Athletic on 13 August 2012. On 19 October, he was assaulted by a fan who had run onto the pitch during the 1–1 draw against Leeds United. Kirkland required several minutes of treatment after the assault which was captured on television cameras and immediately followed a Leeds goal. His attacker, Aaron Cawley, went on to plead guilty to assault and was jailed for 16 weeks. Kirkland remained as first-choice goalkeeper throughout most of the 2012–13 and 2013–14 campaigns, but was relegated to second choice behind Keiren Westwood throughout the majority of the 2014–15 season and left Hillsborough in July 2015 after turning down manager Stuart Gray's offer of a new contract. On 12 August 2015, Kirkland joined Championship club Preston North End on a one-year contract. He was signed as an understudy to on loan goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and remained on the bench after Pickford was recalled, as Sam Johnstone and Anders Lindegaard also joined the club on loan. Kirkland was released by manager Simon Grayson when his contract at Deepdale expired at the end of the 2015–16 season. Kirkland joined League One club Bury on a one-year contract in June 2016. However, he left Gigg Lane for personal reasons before the 2016–17 season began in August. He later revealed that he had been fighting a four-year battle with depression. Kirkland won eight caps with the England national under-21 team and was regularly selected for the senior squad from 2003 onwards, but did not make an appearance until he came on as a substitute for the second half of a friendly against Greece in August 2006. When Kirkland was eleven years old, his father and some family friends had placed bets of £100 each at 100/1 odds that he would play for England before the age of 30; Kirkland's appearance netted the group £10,000 each. Kirkland was identified at an early age as a goalkeeper with an "uncommon mixture of height, agility and bravery". Kirkland began coaching the goalkeepers at League One club Port Vale in January 2017 as a favour to his friend and former teammate Michael Brown. He also set up the Chris Kirkland Goalkeeper Academy. In July 2018, Kirkland returned to Liverpool as a goalkeeping coach for the women's team. He was appointed caretaker manager of the team on 14 September upon the resignation of Neil Redfearn. |
Plum Creek (Little Shamokin Creek tributary) Plum Creek is a tributary of Little Shamokin Creek in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately long and flows through Shamokin Township and Rockefeller Township. The watershed of the creek has an area of . It is a small, perennial stream and its valley was substantially colonized by the early 19th century. A number of bridges have been constructed over the creek. Plum Creek begins in a small pond in Shamokin Township. It flows northwest for several tenths of a mile before turning west. The creek then enters Rockefeller Township and turns west-southwest for more than a mile. The creek then turns west-northwest for several tenths of a mile receives two unnamed tributariesone from the left and one from the rightand turns west-southwest for several hundred feet before turning north for a few tenths of a mile. At this point, it turns west for several tenths of a mile and receives two unnamed tributaries from the right before turning northwest. Several hundred feet further downstream, the creek reaches its confluence with Little Shamokin Creek. Plum Creek joins Little Shamokin Creek upstream of its mouth. A total of of Plum Creek plus all of its unnamed tributaries are designated as impaired. The impairment comes from siltation, organic enrichment, and low levels of dissolved oxygen and are due to grazing; however, the remaining of the main stem are not designated as impaired. The elevation near the mouth of Plum Creek is above sea level. The elevation of the creek's source is between above sea level. Plum Creek is a small, perennial stream. The watershed of Plum Creek has an area of . The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Sunbury. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Trevorton. The headwaters of Plum Creek are south of Millers Crossroads Church. The creek's mouth is near Pennsylvania Route 890. Plum Creek has been used as a water supply for Sunbury. There are some reservoirs in the creek's watershed. Plum Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1184112. By the early 1800s, the valley of Plum Creek had some inhabitants and was one of the major points of colonization in the area, aside from Sunbury. Many Lutherans had colonized the area during this period. Plum Creek Road historically ran through the creek's valley and connected Tulpehocken Road (now Pennsylvania Route 890) with Old King's Highway (now Pennsylvania Route 61) and aided travel between Sunbury and Shamokin. |
Despite his innate ability for coaching, Mauer lacked the ability to heighten his team's emotions for a big game, a fault that was cited as the reason for his lack of tournament success. Mauer left the Wildcats to coach the Miami University Redskins following the 1930 season. In 1930, the university hired Adolph Rupp, who had played as a reserve for the University of Kansas 1922 and 1923 Helms National Championship teams, under coach Forest C. "Phog" Allen. At the time of his hiring, Rupp was a high school coach in Freeport, Illinois. Rupp coached the University of Kentucky men's basketball team from 1930 to 1972. There, he gained the nicknames, "Baron of the Bluegrass", and "The Man in the Brown Suit". Rupp, who was an early innovator of the fast break and set offense, quickly gained a reputation as an intense competitor, a strict motivator, and a fine strategist, often driving his teams to great levels of success. Rupp's Wildcat teams won 4 NCAA championships (1948, 1949, 1951, 1958), one NIT title in 1946, appeared in 20 NCAA tournaments, had 6 NCAA Final Four appearances, captured 27 Southeastern Conference (SEC) regular season titles, and won 13 SEC tournaments. Rupp's Kentucky teams also finished ranked No. 1 on 6 occasions in the final Associated Press college basketball poll and 4 times in the United Press International (Coaches) poll. In addition, Rupp's 1966 Kentucky squad (nicknamed "Rupp's Runts", as no starting player on the squad was taller than 6'5") finished runner-up in the NCAA tournament, and his 1947 Wildcats finished runner-up in the NIT. Rupp's 1933 and 1954 Kentucky squads were also awarded the Helms National Championship, and his 1934 and 1947 teams were retroactively recognized as the national champion by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll. One of Rupp's early successful teams, he would give the '44 team the nickname "the Beardless Wonders" and "Wildkittens" because according to Rupp, "It was like running a Kindergarten." Of the young players, Kentucky's best player was freshman Bob Brannum, who at the age of 17, would be named consensus All-American, making him the youngest player to ever earn the title. The Beardless Wonders would win 19 of their 21 games, enough to be invited into the NIT. There they would be matched up with an equally young and talented Utah team nicknamed the "Blitz Kids." |

Amélie-les-crayons Amélie-les-crayons (born 1981) is a French singer-songwriter, with an emphasis on theatricality and humour in her performances and that of her group. Amélie started in 2001 in bars and cafés in Lyon, France, as a solo piano singer. A 6-track CD, "Le Chant des Coquelicots", was released in 2002. In 2003, she put a real band together with funny-haired Heiko (piano, clarinet, tuba), Michel (accordion) and Laurent (double bass). They soon were very popular in their region, then over France and Switzerland. An ambitious theatrical show was created in January 2004 introducing the magical piano (which opens itself and grows flowers in the inside), funny special effects and the astonishing contact that Amélie creates with her audience. After the release of the new album "Et Pourquoi les Crayons?" in May 2004, they went on touring over France, Switzerland, Belgium and Canada up to August 2006, nearly 200 concerts and 100 000 spectators. The show was shot in December 2005 for a DVD 'le Tour de la Question'. In July 2006, Amélie said good bye to her hometown audience in the Roman Theatre of Vienne, this time in front of a crowd of 8000. By the end of 2006, a few new songs were written and Amelie started working with long-time friend Olivier Longre who plays about 20 different instruments and by the end of spring 2007, they were ready to record 15 new songs. The album 'La Porte Plume' was released in October 2007 and a new tour began that would end in December 2009. That time, the show was even more extraordinary : a 2-meter-high door-piano was the central character of a musical set where Amelie surrounded by her 3 boys (Olivier, Antoine and Guillaume) would appear, vanish, be suspended in mid-air, reappear on top of the monster-piano. The show was shot in March 2009 for the DVD 'A l'Ouest' released in August. Amelie was preparing a new show for 2011. In the meantime, she was also collaborating to other artists shows or albums. |

Extensive damage was also sustained during a severe storm in 1890, after which it was decided to sell the church for demolition. A large Sunday School hall was also needed as the population of the area grew. In 1890 there were 250 pupils and 600 in 1900 as the suburbs developed. In the nineteenth century, Sunday schools were thought to be very important, not only to teach religion, where government education was secular, but to mould character and encourage a high standard of ethics in adult life. The congregation could not afford two buildings and so a practical compromise was made in which the new hall was designed to also serve as an interim church. The new church/school was designed by J.H. Buckeridge. He had been engaged in 1886 as Diocesan Architect by Bishop William Webber, whose vision for the Church in Queensland included the erection of substantial new buildings to serve an expanding population. Although many could not be expensive, they were lifted above the ordinary by Buckeridge through quality of design and materials. Christ Church is possibly his most innovative design and was built for by Lars Anderson, a Danish sawmiller and builder based at Esk. Anderson and his two brothers were very successful in this industry, partly because he had been instrumental in developing a system of light rail to extract timber from areas which were previously inaccessible due to difficult terrain. It is probable that Andersen was chosen rather than a local builder because he had constructed St Agnes Anglican Church at Esk. St Agnes was also designed by Buckeridge and the Milton parish priest, Rev. J. F. Leighton, had previously been rector at Esk. The choice is justified in the quality of Andersen's work evident in Christ Church. The timber used was shipped down from the Esk valley and the design made full use of the attributes of the various species. The stump capping took place on 4 June 1891. The building was opened and dedicated by Bishop Webber on 18 September 1891. The new church/hall building was placed on a different location within the allotment to the existing church as this continued in use while the hall was built. Some furnishings were transferred, including a stone baptismal font donated to the first chapel by Andrew Petrie. Due to the financial constraints under which the church was operating, and the original perception of the place as principally serving as a Sunday School, many of the furnishings of the church were added later. The roof was originally clad in timber shingles. From the beginning the church served not only the residents of the surrounding area, but also the staff and inmates of the nearby Brisbane Gaol at Petrie Terrace. |
Silvertone Records (Selfridges) Silvertone Records was a short-lived British department store record label, which was one of the house labels of Selfridges in the 1930s. After 1935 Silvertone Records issued 8-inch discs made by British Homophone Co. Ltd. for sale in Selfridges department stores using masters from their Plaza label. While the discs were only 8 inches in diameter, as the grooves were close, it had a long playing time equivalent to standard records. The quality of Plaza recordings was considered good. British Homophone discontinued production of its own records in April 1935, and was sold jointly to EMI and Decca Records in May 1935, but continued to press discs for other companies. Silvertone releases were selected from the Plaza catalogue by Britain's first disc jockey Christopher Stone. To keep production costs lower, public domain works were recorded, and artists contracted to other labels were given pseudonyms on Silvertone releases. The records had a catalogue number series starting at S-1, but the series was fairly short-lived. Only three releases have been discovered. |
Spektr-R Spektr-R (part of RadioAstron program) was a Russian scientific satellite with a radio telescope on board. It was launched on 18 July 2011, by Zenit-3F launcher, from Baikonur Cosmodrome to perform research on the structure and dynamics of radio sources within and beyond our galaxy. Together with some of the largest ground-based radio telescopes, this telescope formed interferometric baselines extending up to . On 11 January 2019, the spacecraft stopped responding to ground control, but its science payload was described as "operational". The mission never recovered from the January 2019 incident, and the mission was declared finished (and spacecraft operations ended) on 30 May 2019. The Spektr-R project was funded by the Astro Space Center of Russia, and was launched into Earth orbit on 18 July 2011, with a perigee of and an apogee of , about 700 times the orbital height of the Hubble Space Telescope at its highest point and 20 times at its lowest. In comparison, the average distance from Earth to the Moon is . As of 2018, the satellite has a much more stable orbit with a perigee of and an apogee of , with its orbit no longer intersecting the Moon's orbit and being stable for possibly hundreds or even thousands of years. The main scientific goal of the mission was the study of astronomical objects with an angular resolution up to a few millionths of an arcsecond. This was accomplished by using the satellite in conjunction with ground-based observatories and interferometry techniques. Another purpose of the project was to develop an understanding of fundamental issues of astrophysics and cosmology. This included star formations, the structure of galaxies, interstellar space, black holes and dark matter. Spektr-R was one of the instruments in the RadioAstron program, an international network of observatories led by the Astro Space Center of the Lebedev Physical Institute. The telescope was intended for radio-astrophysical observations of extragalactic objects with ultra-high resolution, as well as researching of characteristics of near-Earth and interplanetary plasma. The very high angular resolving power was achieved in conjunction with a ground-based system of radio-telescopes and interferometrical methods, operating at wavelengths of 1.35–6.0, 18.0 and 92.0 cm. Once in space, the flower-like main dish was to open its 27 'petals' within 30 minutes. There was a science payload of opportunity on board, PLASMA-F, which consists of four instruments to observe solar wind and the outer magnetosphere. |

Patrick Flynn (composer) Patrick Flynn (18 May 1936, Birmingham, England — 10 September 2008, Los Angeles, California) was a composer and conductor who was active in the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Flynn conducted for many prominent orchestras and festivals worldwide, including the BBC, the Paris Opera, the Spoleto and Varna International Festivals, the Finnish National Opera, Holland Simfonia and the orchestras of New Zealand, Rio de Janeiro, Cologne, Louisville, and San Diego. A pre-eminent conductor for the ballet, Patrick Flynn conducted for Rudolf Nureyev on Broadway and for the American Ballet Theatre, the Royal Ballet, English National Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, and Netherlands Dance Theatre, among others. Flynn was a staff conductor for the Australian Opera between 1970 and 1977. He won acclaim as musical director for "Hair", "Jesus Christ Superstar", and later "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat". He composed scores for Australian films such as "Caddie", "Mad Dog Morgan" and "Sunday Too Far Away", and the rock operas "Ned Kelly", about the Australian bushranger, and "Lasseter". He conducted numerous orchestras in the US and was at the time of his death Music Director of the Riverside County (California) Philharmonic and the Saginaw Bay (Michigan) Symphony Orchestra. Flynn's commercial recordings include Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" (published by the Royal New Zealand Ballet), "Hair", three versions of "Jesus Christ Superstar" (two as conductor and the third as music director), and two versions of "Ned Kelly", for which he composed the music. He arranged and conducted music for a film promoting North Carolina. His arrangements of Ludwig Minkus' score for "Don Quixote" ("Kitri's Wedding") are heard in a DVD of the American Ballet Theatre's telecast of the ballet for PBS (Kultur). He conducted for Kiri Te Kanawa's film debut in New Zealand ("Don't Let It Get You") and for Marjorie Lawrence's last commercial recording "Waltzing Matilda", with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He made split-second cameo appearances in several of the aforementioned films. There are a considerable number of recorded concert performances, mostly stemming from radio broadcasts, none of which are commercially available. Flynn's music has also been recorded by others, including by Suzanne Steele ("Lullaby", from "Ned Kelly"), and Geraldine Turner (the same) in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation soundtrack "" (from the telecast of the same title). |
