Theater
Dennehy has won two Tony Awards, both times for Best Lead Actor in a Play. The first win was for Death of a Salesman (for which he also won a Laurence Olivier Award for the production's London run), in 1999, and the second was for Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night in 2003. Both productions were directed by Robert Falls and were originally produced at the Goodman Theatre company in Chicago.

On stage, Dennehy has made frequent performances in the Chicago theater world, and made his Broadway debut in 1995 in Brian Friel's Translations. In 1999, he was the first male performer to be voted the Sarah Siddons Award for his work in Chicago theater. He made a return to Broadway in 2007 as Matthew Harrison Brady in Inherit the Wind opposite Christopher Plummer, then returned again opposite Carla Gugino in a 2009 revival of Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms.

In April through June 2012, he played the role of Larry Slade in the Eugene O'Neill play The Iceman Cometh at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, which he reprised in 2015 when the production, with most of the Goodman Theater production cast, was revived at the BAM Harvey Theater in Brooklyn, New York.

Influence in popular media
In the comic book series Ultimate Spider-Man, that series' version of the villain Norman Osborn was rendered by artist Mark Bagley to resemble actor Brian Dennehy, as per writer Brian Michael Bendis' instructions.

Dennehy is a 2006 album by the rapper Serengeti (real name David Cohn). The album's title track is performed from the point of view of "Kenny Dennis", a Chicago resident and avid sports fan in his 40s whose favorite actors are Brian Dennehy and Tom Berenger. Cohn, watching a broadcast of the Little League World Series in which the competitors were asked their favorite actors and athletes, imagined someone naming Dennehy as his favorite actor. He then used this as the starting point to develop the rest of the Kenny character, which has become a recurring alter ego for Serengeti.

Personal life
Dennehy enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1958 and served on Okinawa until 1963. In numerous interviews, Dennehy claimed to be a Vietnam veteran who served a five-year tour there and recounted harrowing tales of combat, but according to the book Stolen Valor, Dennehy never served in Vietnam and never saw active combat. The author of Stolen Valor wrote to Dennehy regarding the discrepancy, but received no reply from the actor, although Dennehy later admitted in an interview that he had lied about his service and apologized for it.

He has been married twice and has five children including actress Elizabeth Dennehy.

Thomas W. Egan

Thomas Wilberforce Egan (1836 – February 24, 1887) was a Union Army officer who led the Mozart Regiment during most of the American Civil War, later becoming a general.

Early life

Egan was born in New York City of Irish immigrant parents in 1836. Little is known about his life before the Civil War.  He is believed to have married an actress and fathered a child who died young.

Military career

Egan joined the 40th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, called the Mozart Regiment, in April 1861 at the beginning of the Civil War, as a private. (The regiment was sponsored by the Democratic Party's Mozart Hall Committee.)  Egan was made lieutenant colonel on June 14, 1861.

Lieutenant Colonel Egan participated in most of the major battles of the Army of the Potomac.  Initially, the Mozart Regiment served in first division III Corps.  Col. Egan is reported to have arrested the colonel of the regiment for misconduct at the Battle of Fair Oaks in May 1862.  In June 1862, Egan was promoted to the rank of colonel.  He led the regiment at the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Chantilly and the Battle of Chancellorsville.  At Chancellorsville, Colonel Egan became acting commander of first brigade first division III Corps, when Brigadier General Charles K. Graham was assigned to command of the third division following the death of Major General Amiel W. Whipple.  At the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, Colonel Egan, once more leading his regiment, was wounded in action near Devil's Den, being hit in a leg; and the regiment’s monument stands near that site.   The Mozart Regiment lost 150 of 431 troops engaged.  Egan also led the Mozart Regiment in the Mine Run Campaign during the autumn of 1863.

Just before Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign of 1864, III Corps was dissolved.  First division became third division II Corps.  Egan led his regiment in the Battle of the Wilderness.  He became commander of a brigade during the Battle of Spotsylvania, after Brigadier General J. H. Hobart Ward was relieved for drunkenness on the night of May 12, 1864.  His command was involved in a counterattack against the Confederates during the fighting at Harris Farm. Egan led the brigade at the Battle of North Anna, attacking Henagan's Redoubt.  He also led it at the Battle of Cold Harbor.  Egan was wounded during the Second Battle of Petersburg in June 1864, suffering slight paralysis as a result.

Colonel Egan received his commission as brigadier general on September 3, 1864.  (Secretary of War Edwin Stanton personally handed him his commission.) At the Battle of Boydton Plank Road on October 27, he commanded the second division II Corps in place of Brigadier General John Gibbon. Egan was seriously wounded on November 14, 1864.  The wound disabled his right arm.  On recovering, he was given a division in the Army of the Shenandoah on the request of Major General Winfield Scott Hancock. On December 12, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln nominated Egan for appointment to the brevet grade of major general of volunteers to rank from October 27, 1864 for his service at the Battle of Boydton Plank Road, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination on February 14, 1865.

Later life

General Egan was mustered out of the service, January 15, 1866, and subsequently lived in New York City.  He served as deputy collector of customs for the port of New York.  He also belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic.  Brigadier General Egan died in New York City on February 24, 1887.  According to the New York Times, General Egan was struck down by epilepsy while staying at the International Hotel in New York City.  He was taken to the Chambers Street Hospital, a charity hospital, where he died.

Washington Grove station

Washington Grove is a passenger rail station in Washington Grove, Maryland, on MARC Train's Brunswick Line. The station serves a historic community near Washington, D.C. that was a summer retreat for many of its citizens during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but that recently have become year-round residences without destroying the outward appearance of the original structures in the community. Originally the rail connection provided the transportation to the community, which is designed only for pedestrian use along footpaths.

Olé! Tarantula

Olé! Tarantula is the fifteenth studio album by Robyn Hitchcock, recorded with Peter Buck of R.E.M., Scott McCaughey of Young Fresh Fellows, and Bill Rieflin of Ministry. Together, they are known as Robyn Hitchcock and The Venus 3. It was recorded in Seattle, Washington, in 2006, the same year of its release.

The album contains ten original compositions, continuing largely in the vein of Hitchcock's Spooked, which was also made in close collaboration with other musicians. Of the tracks, "Adventure Rocket Ship" was pulled for a single and released with an animated promotional video. Several other tracks including "Olé Tarantula" and "(A Man's Gotta Know His Limitations) Briggs" had been in Hitchcock's live act for some time prior to this release. ("Briggs" had already seen the light of day on Obliteration Pie.) The track "N.Y. Doll" is a eulogy of sorts to Arthur Kane, the New York Dolls bassist who had recently died.

Other guest musicians include former Soft Boys Morris Windsor and Kimberley Rew.

The cover image and internal cartoons are drawn by Hitchcock.

Jan H. Landsberg

Jan H. Landsberg is a biologist, researcher, and author. Her professional research interests in biology have particular focus on aquatic animal and environmental health.

Early life and education
She was born in London, England on April 2, 1954. She grew up in North Finchley, London.  Landsberg currently resides in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.

Landsberg’s early education took place in North Finchley, where she attended Comrie House elementary school, and high school, Woodhouse Grammar School. She received a BSc in Zoology from the University of Exeter, Exeter, England  in 1975 and her Ph.D. (Biology) from Queen Mary College, University of London in 1981.

Research

Landsberg currently works for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

Landsberg has authored dozens of peer-reviewed papers including Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms on Aquatic Organisms, which was published in Reviews in Fisheries Science in 2002. The paper has been cited in over 1,000 papers. Much of her early research largely focused on coccidian and other parasites in fish.  Additionally, she has researched fibropapillomatosis in Florida sea turtles.  Landsberg is widely recognized for her work with biotoxins including the Florida red tide organism Karenia brevis.

Beginning in 2002, she was the agency lead on an investigation of human illness from consuming puffer fish caught in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), in Florida. The investigation included the  coordination of a multiagency (state, federal) team that identified, for the first time in the U.S., that saxitoxin was produced by the harmful algal bloom species Pyrodinium bahamense, and was the source of the poisonings. Saxitoxin in Florida pufferfish can be fatal to humans. The findings from this investigation led to the closure of the pufferfish fishery in the IRL and the continuing monitoring of shellfish beds to ensure they are not contaminated with the toxin.

Landsberg is currently involved in two major multi-partner collaborative research investigations in estuaries and coastal areas in Florida. The first is to determine why manatees have been dying in the IRL since 2013. The second is to identify the cause of a major unidentified disease(s) affecting multiple species of corals in the Florida reefs. The diseases are having a major impact and killing thousands of corals. It is a national and international issue.

Writing
Landsberg‘s interest in the environment and sciences extends to her work as a writer. Her writing focuses on nature's mysteries and myths.

Her first novel, The Curse of the Crystal Kuatzin was published in 2013.  In 2014, the book received a Gold from the Literary Classics International Book Awards and Reviews in the Young Adult Fiction category, and was a finalist in the 2014 Dante Rossetti Award in the Young Adult Novels category.

Her second book, an exposé of UFOs and their origin, UFOs Unmasked, was published in August 2018.


Hardwicke's woolly bat

Hardwicke's woolly bat (Kerivoula hardwickii) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae.

It is found in Bangladesh, China, India (Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and West Bengal), Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan (Punjab), Philippines, Sri Lanka (Central Provinence), Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam.

In Southeast China this mammal is found to be quite common in the forest, but the amount found, the population sizes, and ecological trends are unknown in South Asia. The only known information for the bat in this area is that it can be found in the warmer valleys of northeast Indonesia and in rice pad fields in Sri Lanka. They are also reported to be seen roosting in caves and buildings in the forests in these regions. This bat is mostly found in the tropical and subtropical regions in China, but has also been reported in forests and farming fields in these regions. They can also be found foraging in residential areas and roosting on rooftops. This bat can be found in a variety of forests in these regions including, primary, dry, hill forests, and lowland, montane, and ridgetop forests in all f these regions. They have also been seen roosting in rattan vine leaf  in Indonesia and even a bamboo thicket in the Phillipines.

The bat has also been found to inhabit the forest understory of these regions and roosts in hollow trees or dead clusters of leaves. As typical with understory bats, this species is slow flying and highly maneuverable.

Appearance
The fur on the dorsal, or backside, of the bat is typically a smoky brown color while the ventral portion is a lighter greyish-brown color. A forearm length for this bat is typically 31–36 millimeters, and the ears are approximately 11–15 millimeters. This species also has a more prominent size difference in the size of its premolars than other Kerivoula species, such as the painted bat Wing membrane is blackish-brown but translucent. The fur is very soft and of moderate length.

Association with pitcher plants
This small bat has been found roosting above the digestive fluid in the pitchers of the carnivorous plant Nepenthes hemsleyana (previously known as Nepenthes baramensis and informally as Nepenthes rafflesiana var. elongata), which grows in the peat swamps and heath forests of Borneo. This relationship appears to be mutualistic, with the plant providing shelter for the bats and in return receiving additional nitrogen input in the form of faeces. It has been estimated that the plant derives 34% of its total foliar nitrogen from the bats' droppings.


Triffix Entertainment

Triffix Entertainment was a Canadian video game publisher headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. In the early 1990s, Triffix published a small number of console games for Nintendo video game consoles. In 1991 they published adaptations of Castelian for the Game Boy and the Nintendo Entertainment System; in 1992 they followed these with Dream TV and Space Football: One on One for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.


Batoni (title)

Batoni () is a Georgian word for "lord", or "master". It is derived from patroni (პატრონი), the earlier term of similar meaning, and appears in common usage in the 15th century.

In Georgian feudal hierarchy, "batoni" may denote the supreme suzerain (i.e., monarch), seigneur, or any secular or clerical who owned qma, i.e., "slave" or "serf". The word sometimes appears as a part of the royal and nobiliary titulature. For example, the title of the Princes of Mukhrani was batoni (Mukhran-batoni), and the early kings of Kakheti were likewise referred to by that title in some Georgian sources.
In modern usage, batoni is an honorific used for a man, an equivalent of both Mr. and sir. The equivalent female title is k'albatoni (ქალბატონი). It can be used with the full name as well as either the last or first name. When addressing someone directly, the word is used in a vocative case (k'al)batono ([ქალ]ბატონო), and precedes either the first name (more commonly) or the last name, but it can also be used by itself in direct address.


Ian Peel (journalist)

Ian Peel (born 1972) is a British music journalist. He is most well known as founder of the magazines Classic Pop magazine and Long Live Vinyl and as a writer with special interests in Eighties pop music, ZTT Records, 12" Remixes and Paul McCartney.

He has written as a regular columnist for The Guardian, DJ magazine, Record Collector, .net and Music Business International (sister publication of Music Week).  His work has also appeared in The Times, BlackBook and Sound on Sound.

12" Remixes

Peel is a longstanding commentator on, and curator of, 12-inch single and remixes. He wrote Classic Pop magazine's Top 50 12"s of the Eighties special edition, and curated three volumes of the compilation series The Art of the 12".  In 2016 he wrote the Afterword of Rob Grillo's book, Is That The 12" Remix?.

Peel used 12" remixes and rare edits to curate the soundtrack to In The AM, a film by The The.  It was released as In The AM (Ian Peel Mix) as the closing track on The The's compilation album, Stretched, and as part of the group's box set, London Town 1983-1993.

According to the Penny Black music blog, "Most of the tracks on The Art of the 12” - which has been described by Peel on its cover as “150 minutes of blockbusters, rarities, vanities and mysteries” - have either never been released before on CD or sometimes at all."

ZTT Records, Trevor Horn and Sarm Studios

Peel has spent many years curating, archiving (and writing about) the work of ZTT Records, Trevor Horn and Sarm Studios.  His work was profiled by The Word magazine in 2010: "What Ian inherited was a ton of rotting cardboard boxes and a cataloguing nightmare," reported Andrew Harrison. "What he found, though, is dazzling to anyone who loves the work of Trevor Horn and the profligate madness of ZTT. With its antiquated floppies and hard discs the size (and weight) of lorry tyres, this room crystallises a pause between the old world of Take 1 and Take 2 and the future in which everything would be infinitely malleable."

Visiting Peel during the early stages of his work on the ZTT tape archive, DJ Food described the scene: "Nothing prepared me for the sight I saw upon stepping into the room. It was the whole downstairs floor of the building, the size of a small office or a very large living room. Boxes covered nearly every inch of floor space and were piled up to chest height, Ian had started to sort them into stacks relating to each artist and there was a small warren of footpaths between the piles. Half of the room was barely touched and the sheer volume of boxes was overwhelming."

His work has in this field has led to the release of more than 50 CD/vinyl releases, compilations, box sets and gallery exhibitions. In a piece titled Ian Peel’s one-man campaign takes another brilliant twist, Kris Needs wrote in Record Collector: "Considering that everything which ZTT touched during their early 80s purple patch immediately seemed to swell to widescreen proportions, it’s fortuitous that Ian Peel, though only a teenage record-buyer at the time, shares their panoramic visions when it comes to the reissue programme he’s been lovingly masterminding since last year. It seems he won’t rest until every reel from production supremo Trevor Horn’s archives has been distilled into one of his lavish double-disc sets, his accompanying sleevenotes always an invaluable source of facts and memorabilia."

Paul McCartney

Peel is a noted commentator on Paul McCartney's experimental oeuvre, as author of the 2002 biography The Unknown Paul McCartney, McCartney and the Avant-Garde and having participated in numerous TV and radio documentaries.

The Unknown Paul McCartney, McCartney and the Avant-Garde was described by BBC Music as an "engrossing round-up of the numerous side projects which have distracted Paul McCartney's active imagination over the last 35 years" and as "an odd and interesting re-framing of McCartney as experimentalist".

It is the only book to offer an in-depth history and analysis of McCartney's work in the field of experimental and avant-garde music, notably under the pseudonyms Thrillington and The Fireman, on projects such as Liverpool Sound Collage and Carnival of Light (with The Beatles), and as occasional collaborator with Allen Ginsberg, Brian Wilson and Yoko Ono.  The foreword was written by David Toop.

One review commented that "Peel goes to lengths to put forward the argument that though the seemingly 'constantly cheerful one' may have been responsible for the MOR apocalypse of Wings, experimentation in other genres was never far away." Another noted that "Although Peel spends much of the book setting stages, discussing Cage, Eno, IDM and so on, who else would even have dreamt up such a thesis?"

While McCartney was not directly involved in the biography, The Guardian remarked in 2007 that "His implicit approval... suggested an attempt to correct a misperception."

Emancipados

Emancipado () was a term used for an African descended social-political demographic within the population of Spanish Guinea (modern day Equatorial Guinea) that existed in the early to mid 1900s. This segment of the native population had become assimilated into the former White society of Spanish Guinea which primarily existed along the coastline communities of the continental part of the country, as well as on the islands of Bioko and Annabon.

Population specifics
This population included:

 Full-blooded descendants of local/regional native tribes that had assimilated to the Whites after receiving a Christian Spanish education.
 Descendants of freed Cuban slaves who, despite being free to return to Cuba, remained in the country, marrying into the local population. These former slaves were brought to Africa by the Royal Orders of September 13, 1845 (by way of voluntary arrangement) and a June 20, 1861 deportation from Cuba, due to the lack of volunteers. Many were of European and/or Amerindian ancestry.
 Mulattoes born to Equatorial Guinean mothers and white Spanish fathers, some unacknowledged by their fathers. Offspring resulting from unions of consent between African women and European men had become a social trend around the mid 1900s in Equatorial Guinea, as well as other parts of West Africa.

Society
Emancipados were socially and culturally mixed. Many were part of the native tribal landscape, and most others contributed to the once-thriving intellectual community that resulted from having access to Christian and European education. Their education helped propel Spanish Guinea as having the highest literacy rate of all African countries in the mid-1900s. The once-thriving community also contributed to the wealth of Spanish Guinea, which was once the third wealthiest African country before its independence from Spain.

Exodus
Due to political dissension surrounding the Equatorial Guinean independence from Spain in 1968, many Emancipados relocated to Europe after being met with anti-European sentiments and counter political pressures from the incoming regime. Subsequently, this led to the slaughter of some within this population.

Many Emancipados relocated to Spain (the Canary Islands), São Tomé and Príncipe, and Cape Verde. In present day Equatorial Guinea, a few descendants of Emancipados returned to live in Equatorial Guinea.


Noppadon Pattama

Noppadon Pattama (born April 23, 1961), Thai politician, became Foreign Minister of Thailand on 6 February 2008, in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej. He is a member of Samak's People's Power Party. He is a former legal adviser to Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed as Prime Minister by the September 2006 military coup.

Noppadon was born in Nakhon Ratchasima and educated at Thammasat University, Bangkok, where he graduated top of his class in law in 1982 and won a Fulbright scholarship to study in the United States. After receiving a prestigious Ananda Mahidol Scholarship, however, he chose instead to study at the University of London (LLM 1990) and the University of Oxford (MA 1992). He was President of Thai Students’ Association in Britain 1988-1989. While in Britain he met Chuan Leekpai, leader of the Democrat Party, who became his political patron.

Returning to Thailand, Noppadon practised law in Bangkok and became Chuan's secretary during his period as Leader of the Opposition in 1995-97. He was elected as a Democrat Party Member of Parliament in 1996. He was a member of the Parliament of Thailand's Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs from 1996, and when Chuan became Prime Minister in 1997 he became an influential figure. He was Parliamentary Secretary to Foreign Minister Surin Pitsuwan in 1999-2001.

Chuan's government was defeated at the 2001 election, and Noppadon was not re-elected to Parliament and returned to his law practice. In May 2006 he defected to Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party, and was briefly Vice Minister of Natural Resources and Environment in Thaksin's government before it was deposed in the September coup. His defection was engineered by Thaksin's Natural Resources and Environment minister, Yongyuth Tiyapairat, also a former Democrat MP. He maintains he defected for "ideological reasons" and not for personal gain.

In November 2006 Thaksin, who was in exile following the coup, appointed Noppadon as his legal adviser, in matters relating both to his status in Thailand and his business affairs in Britain and elsewhere. In this capacity he defended Thaksin against the National Counter Curruption Commission (NCCC), which had alleged that Thaksin's purchase of the Manchester City Football Club showed that he was concealing assets allegedly gained through corruption while in office. He challenged the NCCC to examine Thaksin's asset statements, arguing that the purchase of the club was not financed by hidden wealth. He argued that Thaksin financed the purchase with "honest earnings" and that Thaksin was "not obliged" to declare funds held by his adult children, relatives and close associates.

In 2007 Noppadon became a member of Samak's new People's Power Party, which is generally regarded as the successor to Thai Rak Thai. As an adviser to Thaksin, he acted as a link between Thaksin in exile and the People's Power leadership in Thailand. Soon after taking office, he expressed his view that Thaksin's diplomatic passport, revoked after the coup, should be restored. He also expressed the view that Thaksin would return to Thailand, where he faces corruption charges, "before May."

Samak Sundaravej's 5-month-old government was in great trouble on July 10, 2008 after Noppadon Pattama, as 3rd top official in the ruling People Power Party (PPP) resigned, effective Monday. Its deputy leader Yongyut Tiyapairat, was banned from politics for  5 years, after the Supreme Court affirmed vote buying charges against him. Then, Chiya Sasomsub was removed from office by another top court, for illegally concealing his wife's assets. The Constitutional Court ruled on July 8  that Noppadon and the entire cabinet violated the charter by failing to ask parliamentary approval for a Cambodia deal. Noppadon signed the agreement on June, to support Cambodia's bid to seek World Heritage status for the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple. The Opposition filed a petition with deputy Senate Speaker Nikom Wairatpanit to impeach Noppadon Pattama over Preah Vihear Temple issue because he violated the laws by not seeking congress's approval before signing over Preah Vihear to Cambodia causing Thailand to lose the land. Sathit Wongnongtoei submitted 141 signatures of MPs. Noppadon was accused of violating Article 190 and 270 of the Constitution. The Opposition filed the motion before Noppadon stepped down.


Horton Priory

Horton Priory was a priory at Horton in Dorset, England.

It was founded as a Benedictine abbey around 970 by Ordgar, Earl of Devon, or his son, Ordulph, and dedicated to Saint Olfrida, Wilfrida or Wulfthryth, the mother of Saint Edith of Wilton by King Edgar the Peaceful. In the early twelfth century it was reduced to priory status by Roger, bishop of Salisbury and made dependent on Sherborne Abbey.

At the Dissolution in 1539 Sherborne Abbey was surrendered to the king, and in 1547 it was granted to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. On Somerset's attainder it was granted to William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke. The present Horton parish church, St Olfrida, was built on the site of the priory in the 18th century. No traces of the original priory remain.

Known Priors
 * Hugh, occurs 1286
 * John de Bradeford, occurs 1348.
 * John Cosyn, occurs 1401.
 * Henry Trew, occurs 1459–60
 * John Dorchester, occurs 1504
 * John Hart or Herte alias Raynold, occurs on its surrender, 1539.


Danforth GO Station

Danforth GO Station  is a railway station on GO Transit's Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is situated in the east end of Old Toronto, south west of the intersection of Main Street and Danforth Avenue.  The station is a 10-minute walk from Main Street station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway.

History
Because of a lack of available land to expand their existing downtown yard, the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) decided to build a new freight yard on farmland south of Danforth Avenue where the line to Montreal crossed Dawes Road, which had to be closed and traffic diverted to a new street called Main. The yard had a capacity of 420 cars and could store 31 locomotives in a roundhouse with adjacent repair shops. The York Railway Station was built on the north side of the tracks just east of Main Street around 1883. The GTR became part of Canadian National Railways in 1923 and by the 1940s the yard was no longer used for freight and the roundhouse was demolished. Under Canadian National the station became Danforth Railway Station. The original GTR station building was demolished in 1974 and the current GO Transit facility was built in its place.

Main-Danforth has been identified by Metrolinx as a transportation mobility hub as it is located at the interchange of two or more current or planned regional rapid transit lines.

Connecting transit
Although the 506 Carlton streetcar, 64 Main and 135 Gerrard bus routes pass on Main Street, there are no stops immediately beside the GO Station. Similarly Main Street subway station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth is over 300 metres away, to the north of Danforth Avenue.


The Ambassador's Mission

The Ambassador's Mission is a fantasy novel that was released on May 6, 2010 in hardback by author Trudi Canavan. It forms part of her Kyralia series and acts as a sequel to The Black Magician Trilogy and the first novel of The Traitor Spy Trilogy. The Ambassador's Mission returns to the themes of the Black Magician Series, and features Sonea and Lorkin (Sonea and Akkarin's son).

Plot

Twenty years after the "Ichani Invasion" the Guild has witnessed some major changes. Talented children from all social ranks are now accepted into the Guild even though tensions arise between the various groups. Upon learning the secrets of Black Magic the Rank of Black Magician was created. However, there are some restrictions since the guild is afraid a Black Magician might abuse his or her power. Sonea and the second Black Magician, Kallen, are thus supposed to control each other. Sonea now runs the Hospices which offer free healing to all (as seen at the end of "The High Lord"). Her son Lorkin has graduated and does not yet know what to do with his life. He is intrigued when reading Dannyl's records of old, forgotten magic. Dannyl however wants to visit Sachaka as the Guild's Ambassador and so Lorkin decides to join him which brings tensions to the Guild, some of the members fearing that sending the son of the man who killed so many Sachakans may be seen as an insult. After long discussions Lorkin is allowed to leave with Dannyl.

Meanwhile, the Thieves have broken their truce and no longer work together leading to a greater rivalry than before. Even worse, someone starts killing off Thieves; one after the other. When Ceryni's family is killed while he is at a meeting with Faren's successor Skellin, he takes a personal interest in finding the culprit. Upon learning that the "Thief Hunter" uses magic he informs Sonea of the rogue. They decide that if Cery can find her Sonea will trap her and bring her back to the Guild for investigation. They also decide not to inform the Guild fearing a similar unsuccessful manhunt as seen in "The Magicians' Guild".

In Sachaka, Lord Lorkin and Ambassador Dannyl have difficulties adjusting to the fact that there are only slaves and no servants. Lorkin tries to befriend a female slave called Tyvara to learn from her. The Advisor to the King Ashaki Achati introduces them to many important people, some of whom have a lot of information about the history of magic, the Guild and the Sachakan war (which are of great interest to Dannyl and Lorkin). One night, Lorkin wakes up to a woman bedding him and thinking it is Tyvara (to whom he has struck a liking) lets her be. The woman is then surprised and killed (with Black Magic) by Tyvara. Lorkin finds out that there is a mighty rebel organization called “The Traitors” (of which Tyvara is a scout) who are led by women. Fearing further assassination attempts they decide to flee to the “Sanctuary,” the Traitors' headquarter in the Sachakan Mountains to the North. During their travels Lorkin finds out there are two factions of the Traitors which do not agree what to do with him. Twenty-five years previously, Akkarin had learned Black Magic from the Traitors and promised to teach them healing magic (of which the Sachakans have no knowledge). After killing Dakova he fled and thus broke his promise, which led to the death of the Queen’s daughter. This was the reason for one faction wanting to punish Lorkin for his father’s actions, the other wanting to learn healing magic from him. Dannyl, thinking that Lorkin has been kidnapped, decides to follow him and learns a lot about Sachakan culture from his companion Ashaki Achati.

Meanwhile, in Imardin Cery has informed his estranged daughter Anyi (from his first marriage) that she might be in danger and has taken her as his bodyguard, so that he can keep an eye upon her without anyone knowing of their relationship. He finds the traitor who to his surprise is a woman of the same race as Skellin. He informs Skellin of his progress and receives a tip on where the woman might be. After informing Sonea and Regin (with whom Sonea is now on speaking terms) they set out to capture the woman, only to realize she is not the rogue they originally discovered. Anyi, who watches the action from a distance, observes the true rogue and informs Sonea who (with the help of two other magicians) manages to capture her. After reading both women's minds, Sonea discovers that the real traitor is Skellin’s mother and the Thief Hunter. The other woman was blackmailed and set up to be caught by Cery. At the hearing, Anyi and Cery were also questioned and Anyi recognizes Black Magician Kallen to be an accomplice of Skellin’s, setting a new mystery to be investigated in “The Rogue”.

In Sachaka, Tyvara and Lorkin meet Speaker Savara and travel to Sanctuary with her. Dannyl and a group of Sachakan Ashaki gain on the Traitors. Dannyl gets deliberately separated from the group and talks to Lorkin, who convinces him to give up since the Traitors would otherwise kill Dannyl. Lorkin then continues on to Sanctuary, where he speaks upon Tyvara’s behalf in the trial held against her for murder. Thanks to Lorkin she is found as not guilty but is confined to Sanctuary. Lorkin, as an outsider, is also confined but is committed to help in some way. As a twist of fate they send him to the sick houses to heal. Lorkin hopes to arrange a deal with the Traitors involving trading some old forgotten magic (like Storestones) for healing magic.

HMAS Air View (923)

HMAS Air View (923) was a Miami-class 63-foot Air-Sea Rescue Boat that was operated by the Royal Australian Navy during World War II, and later by the Royal Australian Air Force.

Design
The Miami class rescue boats were wooden-hulled, and powered by two  Hall-Scott Defender petrol engines giving a top speed of 31.5 knots. They were armed with two twin .50 calibre M2 Browning machine guns mounted either side of the bridge. The crew comprised one officer in command, a coxswain, two engineers, two seamen and one or two radio operators.

Service history
Air View was one of a class of twenty boats ordered on 4 March 1944. They were all Model 314 boats, designed by the Miami Shipbuilding Corporation, of Miami, Florida, but built at a number of shipyards in California. Air View was built by Fellows & Stewart in Wilmington, California, as hull C-26683 and arrived at Sydney aboard the MV Laponia in June 1944, and was commissioned on 20 November 1944.

Air View was stationed in and around Sydney until September 1945, when she sailed for Darwin, and subsequently operated in the Torres Strait into 1946.

Air View was placed into reserve on 30 September 1946, and in 1949 she was one of thirteen RAN rescue boats transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force, and renamed 02-109. She was stationed at Neutral Bay in Sydney, and in Townsville, Queensland.

The boat was sold by the RAAF to private owners in 1985, being the last of her class still in service. In 2011 the boat was acquired by a Melbourne based scuba-diving training company and is undergoing restoration.

Air View is listed on the Australian Register of Historic Vessels.

Santonic acid

Santonic acid is an organic compound containing both carboxylic acid and ketone functionality.

It was synthesized from santonin by base-mediated hydrolysis of a lactone followed by a multistep rearrangement process by R. B. Woodward.

Unusually for a carboxylic acid, santonic acid does not form hydrogen-bonded dimers in the crystalline phase. Rather, it adopts a polymeric structure, with individual santonic acid molecules linked by intermolecular carboxyl-to-ketone hydrogen bonds.

Hoërskool Voortrekker

Hoërskool Voortrekker  is a public high school in  Boksburg, Gauteng, South Africa.

Founder
Ds. James Murray Louw  studied for the ministry at Victoria College, Stellenbosch.  The first Nederduitse Gereformeerde church in Boksburg was a wood and iron building on the corner of Market and Trichardts streets, opposite Market Square, where the Old Town Hall is situated.  Ds. Louw was the second minister for the Boksburg congregation.   He assumed duties in December 1898. When the Anglo-Boer War broke out, Ds. Louw left for the Natal front with the Boksburg Commando on 12 October 1899. For the next two and half years Ds. Louw stayed with the Republic forces. On 5 June 1902  Ds. Louw and the remnants of the Boksburg Commando laid down their weapons finally at Kraal station, just south of Heidelberg. Under his leadership, the "Klipkerk" was built in 1912. Ds. Louw was especially concerned about education and welfare of orphans. Immediately after returning from the war, he arranged housing for 20 Boksburg war orphans.

The scoured earth policy of the British government had the consequence that there was an influx of Afrikaners looking for work on the coal and gold mines on the Witswatersrand.

After the war Ds Louw started campaigning for the establishment of a secondary school for Afrikaans speaking children on the Witswatersrand.

By 1938 Louw   was frail and in poor health. As one of the last surviving preachers who had stayed with the Boer forces throughout the war, he was asked to deliver the sermon at the foundation stone laying for the Voortrekker Monument on 16 June 1938

History
Voortrekker High School   was the first Afrikaans school on the Witswatersrand. The school was started by a group of Afrikaners, under the leadership of Louw, who wanted their children to have an alternative to English schools.

In April 1918 the East Rand School Council undertook a feasibility study to see if there are sufficient Afrikaans speaking pupils past standard five to justify an Afrikaans medium school.

The survey confirmed the need for an Afrikaans secondary school. Through the hard work of Louw, the OOSRANDSE HOLLANDSE MEDIUM HOËRSKOOL was established on 29 January 1920. The school started in Nobby's Bar   next to the Boksburg Lake with 67 learners and 6 educators. Mr. an Wyk was the acting principal. At the start of the second quarter Mr. AM Muller became the first permanent principal. At the start of the third quarter the school was renamed Hoërskool Voortrekker. In 1922 the school relocated to a shop in the Morris arcade.

In 1923  du Toit became the new principal and shortly afterwards the erection of a permanent school building began.

On 30 July 1924 the new school buildings were officially inaugurated by Professor J. H. Hofmeyer, Administrator of Transvaal.

In 1935 a fund raising was started to build an assembly hall and domestic science centre. Bernard Stanley Cooke was appointed as architect. Cooke  died in January 2011 at the age of 100. Mr Cooke was responsible for many Art Deco buildings in Johannesburg including Escom House and buildings of the Rand Easter Show grounds. He was also responsible for the drawings of the Tower of Light at the show grounds. Anton van Wouw, South Africa most renowned sculptor was commissioned to create a bas-relief depicting the "Groot Trek".

Anton van Wouw’s work includes the statue of Paul Kruger on Church Square Pretoria, the Woman Memorial in Bloemfontein and statues at the Voortrekker Monument. Building of the hall started in July 1936 and the building and bas relief was inaugurated on 9 December 1938.

In 1974 a statue of a Voortrekker Boy and Girl by the sculptor P Potgieter was  unveiled.

In 1976 a new hall was inaugurated. The hall was named after the principal T. S. Welman.

In 1999 Voortrekker became a dual medium school.

Nobby's Bar
"Nobby Henrey was the personification of the Rand Pioneer. He was open-hearted, generous to a fault, his good deeds can hardly be counted, and many a Boksburg resident down on his or her luck have reason to bless the day they met him."  Born in Cradock in 1861, Edward Barrett Henrey decided to try his luck at the gold diggings in Barberton at the age of eighteen. Unsuccessful, he returned home but the lure of gold got the better of him and he returned to the old Transvaal and eventually arrived in Elsburg in 1885. In 1886 when  were auctioned off in Boksburg he selected a stand opposite the Old Post Office and there established what was to become the renowned "Nobby’s Bar." At the time he built the bar, he didn’t realise that his hostelry would eventually be situated in a prime position on the shores of "Montagu’s Folly," the Boksburg Lake, which became the "Beautiful Pleasure Resort of the Rand."

"From the very beginning, Nobby’s Bar was the centre of social life to the Boksburg pioneers. Here most of the meetings took place. It was from here that the first alumni from Voortrekker High School were sent out and it was in Nobby’s Bar that the various churches held their services right up until the time first billiard table on the East Rand was imported and placed in position. In one of the outhouses he kept a pet bear sent to him by a friend. Nobby's Bar was the first premises for two high schools namely Voortrekker and Boksburg High schools. Unfortunately this establishment did not stood the test of time and there is no sign of it left or the building - Morris arcade

School badge
The badge was designed by Mr. Saville Davis (former manager of ERPM). In 1932 the badge in its present form was accepted and the first were imported from Switzerland. In the same year the new colours (blue, green and yellow) were accepted and the motto “Voorwaart” was changed to “Vorentoe”.

At the top of the badge is the ox–wagon a symbol of the Afrikaner nation and its rise. Beneath the ox-wagon is the Bible as the only light and guidance. The mealies are symbolic of the Highveld of Transvaal. The gold mine is the source of income and represents Boksburg.

Studenten Techniek In Politiek

Studenten Techniek In Politiek (STIP, "Technology Students In Politics") is a local political party in the Netherlands.

History
STIP was founded in 1993 and is run exclusively by students. The members of STIP rotate their seats after one year in municipal council (instead of the regular term of four years) to combine their elected position with their studies. STIP is a unique democratic example of student involvement in local politics. First elected in 1994, STIP had steadily grown its representation on the municipal council.

After the election victory in 1998 STIP was invited to join the ruling coalition and get a seat on the executive council (College van Burgemeester en Wethouders). Since then they have consistently remained part of the ruling coalition. Currently their representative on the executive council is deputy mayor Bas Vollebregt. STIP is the only student party in the Netherlands with a representation on the local executive council.

Ideology and electorate
STIP has no clearly defined political ideology and self-describes itself as pragmatic. However its raison d'être is improving the relationship between students and 'regular' citizens of Delft in general, and specifically improving the relationship between the Delft University of Technology and the City of Delft. Their platform calls for investments in sustainability, local high tech industries and cultural activities. STIP is not affiliated with a national political party. In the last years STIP has been part of local majority coalitions together with the PvdA, VVD, GroenLinks and D66.

In many student cities there are conflicts between the 'regular' population of the city and the student population. Often this conflict remains unresolved partly because of under-representation of students within official representative organs such as the municipal council. The concept of a student party as a way to increase student representation in local government was named as one of the best case practices to increase student friendliness of European cities.

Overwhelmingly the electorate of STIP consists of students, concentrated in the old city centre of Delft and the campus of the Delft University of Technology.

Election results


Garry Brady

Garry Brady (born 7 September 1976) is a Scottish former footballer.

Career
Brady began his career with Tottenham Hotspur in 1993 as a teenager, making around a dozen senior appearances before joining Newcastle United in 1998; the £650,000 transfer fee was decided by tribunal, with Brady having allowed his Tottenham contract to expire in the hope of more first team appearances elsewhere.  Lauded as "one of the brightest prospects in British football" at the time, Brady made a similar number of appearances at St James' Park but his time on Tyneside was blighted with a serious ankle injury limiting his opportunities.

The Scottish under-18 international Winger moved with Des Hamilton to Norwich on loan in March 2000, to the end of the 1999–2000 season. On 4 September 2000, Brady returned to Carrow Road on a two-month loan, with a special entitlement allowing him to play in League Cup matches. His loan period expired on 26 October 2000 with Norwich declining to make the move permanent. Brady was released by Newcastle in January 2001 and subsequently joined Portsmouth on trial on 12 February 2001 before signing a permanent deal.

Falling out of favour, Brady joined Scottish side Kilmarnock on trial at the end of January 2002 but returned to Portsmouth to make a four league appearances that season. In July 2002, he joined Walsall on trial and returned to Scotland the following month on trial with Dundee. This move became permanent during the first week of September 2002. He came off the bench in the 2003 Scottish Cup Final which Dundee lost 1–0 to Rangers and also played in the following season's UEFA Cup. In mid-June 2006, after four years at Dens Park, Brady agreed terms with Scottish Premier League newcomers St Mirren, having turned down a request from Dundee – like several other players – to accept a wage cut. He appeared for St Mirren in the 2010 Scottish League Cup Final, another defeat to Rangers, although he was named Man of the Match.

In June 2011 he joined Brechin City. He scored his first and only league goal for Brechin in a 3-1 defeat to Cowdenbeath. At the end of the 2012–13 season, Brechin announced that Brady was amongst the players being released.

Personal life
His younger brother Darren was also a footballer whose clubs included Raith Rovers.

He has assisted Andy McLaren (a fellow former footballer and childhood resident of Glasgow's Castlemilk district) in operating McLaren's A&M charity offering football coaching and guidance to children in deprived areas.

Pledgie

Pledgie was a donation website created by Mark Daggett and Garry Dolley that ran on the Ruby on Rails web application framework. The creators have also worked on Revver.com and decided to create Pledgie after meeting each other there and discovering that the both had an interest for open source software and the Ruby language.

The site allowed anyone to make a pledge for just about any type of cause. Donations were received through the user's PayPal account. Causes could have a set ending time and users could set the money goal for the pledge. The goal might also be left empty. Anyone could comment on a cause whether they have donated or not, and the pledge owner could respond to these comments, but not remove them.

While the website aimed for the funding of health, safety and other causes that can help the community, the majority of pledges were listed under "Internet", "Programming Languages" and "Uncategorized".

The website has been discontinued in January 2018.

History
Pledgie was created in 2007 by Daggett and Dolley who wanted to make an open and transparent donations website. Daggett claimed that he had been working in homeless shelters and realized that several nonprofits have no shortage of volunteers, but a shortage of funds.

Their first "real" campaign was the pledge they created for the Mephisto project. Mephisto is a blog publishing system created by Rick Olson and Justin Palmer that also runs under the Ruby on Rails framework and is similar to WordPress. The pledge was used as a test-drive for Pledgie, although the Mephisto project already had a PayPal donation button. They asked for the users on Mephisto's IRC channel #mephisto, to make donations to them via Pledgie and the goal was met overnight. Mephisto was also used by Pledgie for their blog.

Pledges
Pledgie has been very widely used by GitHub, having around 2260 total pledges as of July 2009 and around 5230 as of June 2010 due to their proprietary Pledgie integration system used on GitHub's website. The Pledgie integration system had been explained in posts on the GitHub and Pledgie blogs. Pledgie has also been used by The Freesound Project and Inkscape as their main donation service.

Pledgie has gained popularity for pledges set up by friends or family members of victims of tragedies and over the amount of money the pledges had earned. $70,000 was raised for a pledge set up by a Utah-based blogger to help the family of Clay Sannar, who was murdered in a shooting.

The Pledgie interface is simple and has some similarities to social bookmark sites such as Digg. One similarity to Digg is the yellow pledge counter placed next to each cause showing how many pledges have been made, which are very similar to Digg's yellow Digg counters.

Since 2010,  Pledgie used Google AdSense for revenue, but instead now takes 3% of all donations.

Newag 15D/16D

Newag 15D/16D is a cargo locomotive (type 15D - PKP ST48 series) or broad gauge (type 16D) diesel locomotive rebuilt by Newag in Nowy Sącz in Poland, which is a deeply modernised SM48 (Soviet TEM2) locomotive.

Modernisation

As a result of the modernisation the Soviet production internal combustion engine was replaced, with a US drive unit that meets the emissions standards for UIC three. In the modernisation the rate of power has been raised from  0.88 MW (1200 hp) to 1.55 MW (2100 hp), which makes the new version of the Tamara as a locomotive. The height of the driver cabin of the Newag 6DG has been raised, to improve visibility while driving. Air conditioning was installed in the driver's cab (KL20 with a power of 4.3 kW), a GPS and microprocessor control system NES. The components undergone major repairs and the brake lever system had been fitted with four cylinders, a spring brake system and traction motors, which are subjected to pressure-vacuum impregnation. The power generator consists of an internal CAT 3512C combustion engine, with a main generator and auxiliary generator. The locomotive has a microprocessor control, antilock braking system, brake system array, screw compressor, and the AC - DC locomotive gear systems.
