Nelson v. Colorado

Nelson v. Colorado, 581 U.S. ___ (2017), is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. In a 7-1 decision written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Court held that a state had no right to keep fines and other money based on an invalid conviction. Justice Samuel Alito wrote an opinion concurring in the judgment, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a dissenting opinion, and Justice Neil Gorsuch did not take part in the consideration or decision of the case.

Background
The case combined lawsuits by two petitioners: Shannon Nelson and Louis Madden. Nelson was convicted of child abuse and sentenced to 20 years to life, and assessed $8,192 in various fees and restitution. Madden was convicted of attempting to patronize a prostituted child and attempted sexual assault, and received an indeterminate sentence and had to pay $4,413. Both convictions were overturned on appeal and the petitioners were considered factually innocent.

Colorado's Exoneration Act requires that a person who is exonerated after being convicted must petition a Colorado District Court for an order entitling them to receive compensation.

On January 9, 2017, oral arguments were heard, where Professor Stuart Banner appeared for the accused, and the Colorado Solicitor General appeared for that state.

Opinion of the Court
On April 19, 2017, the Supreme Court delivered judgment in favor of the accused, voting 7-1 to reverse and remand to the state court.  Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the opinion of the Court, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Kennedy Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.  This decision held that the part of the law regarding "any fine, penalty, court costs, or restitution imposed upon and paid by the wrongfully convicted person" violated the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of due process. The petitioners are entitled to prompt repayment of the money that they paid in regard to the wrongful conviction.

Justice Samuel Alito concurred only in the judgment.

Justice Clarence Thomas dissented.

366th Rifle Division

The 366th Rifle Division was an infantry division of the Red Army during World War II, formed twice.

It began forming in August, 1941, as a standard Red Army rifle division, in the Tomsk Oblast. After forming, it was assigned to the 59th Army, which soon moved west and joined the front facing the German Army Group North on the Volkhov River. In January, 1942, the division played a leading role in the early successes of the Lyuban Offensive Operation, which looked set to encircle and defeat the enemy forces laying siege to Leningrad. and on March 17 the division was redesignated as the 19th Guards Rifle Division. In November, 1944, a new 366th Rifle Division was formed in the Far Eastern Front, and saw action in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in August, 1945, being awarded the Order of the Red Banner for its services.

1st Formation
The division began forming on August 10, 1941 in the Siberian Military District in the Tomsk Oblast. Its basic order of battle was as follows:
 1218th Rifle Regiment
 1220th Rifle Regiment
 1222nd Rifle Regiment
 938th Artillery Regiment

Col. Semyon Ivanovich Bulanov was assigned to command of the division on September 1, and he would remain in command for the duration of the 1st formation. In late November it was assigned to the 59th Army which was also forming in the Siberian District. In mid-December the entire 59th Army was moved by rail to Vologda, in the Leningrad - Volkhov sector of the front. On December 17 the Army was assigned to the Volkhov Group of Leningrad Front, which later became Volkhov Front. On January 7, 1942, the 366th attacked across the frozen river and along with the rest of 59th Army and the 2nd Shock Army carved out a threatening, but vulnerable pocket deep behind Army Group North, but eventually the offensive stalled, mostly due to supply difficulties. On March 17 the division was recognized for its successes by being redesignated as the 19th Guards Rifle Division in 52nd Army. This came just as the German 18th Army was in the process of cutting off and trapping that Army in the half-frozen wasteland south of Lyuban, and the division was already fighting for its existence.

2nd Formation
A new 366th Rifle Division was formed on November 27, 1944 from the second formation of the 21st Rifle Brigade and the 247th Rifle Brigade, in the 17th Rifle Corps of the 25th Army in Far Eastern Front, as part of the preparation for the coming offensive against the Japanese forces in Manchuria. It included the 401st, 428th, and 534th Rifle Regiments, the 604th Artillery Regiment, and smaller support units. The division was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Alekseevich Manuilov (promoted to Colonel on April 30, 1945) from its formation until at least August 26, 1945. The division was still in 17th Corps when the Soviet invasion of Manchuria began in August, 1945, but that Corps was now part of the 5th Army. While the other division of the corps, the 187th Rifle Division, launched a  frontal attack, the division encircled positions of the Japanese 284th Infantry Regiment of the 128th Division at Lotzokou from the south on 15 August. Late on the next day both divisions, in cooperation with a brigade of the 10th Mechanized Corps, pushed the Japanese forces out of Lotzokou and the Taipingling Pass. On September 19, 1945, the division was recognized for its service in the campaign with the award of the Order of the Red Banner. It was disbanded within weeks in accordance with the September 10 order that created the Primorsky Military District.

Lee Worgan

Lee John Worgan (born 1 December 1983) is a footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for National League club Dover Athletic.

Club career

Early career
Worgan began his career by coming through the youth ranks at Wimbledon and was one of a few players to stay with the squad during the move to become Milton Keynes Dons. However, he never managed to establish himself there and spent two weeks on loan at Wycombe Wanderers during the 2003–04 season when they suffered a goalkeeper injury crisis with Steve Williams, Frank Talia, and Tom Gott all out injured.

In August 2004 he joined Rushden & Diamonds on a free transfer but again failed to establish himself and at the end of the year he was released and was signed by Cardiff City on another free transfer. He did not make a league appearance for Cardiff but did play in the FAW Premier Cup on one occasion. He was released by Cardiff at the end of the 2005–06 season after having spent some of the season on loan at Merthyr Tydfil.

Since then he has played for Eastbourne Borough and in October 2006 he signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Hastings United, making his debut in a 2–1 win over Croydon Athletic in the FA Trophy. In his first year, after helping the side to promotion, he was unanimously voted the Supporters' Club player of the year and was quickly offered a one-year extension to his contract.

Tonbridge Angels
In May 2008 he signed for Tonbridge Angels. He received a red card on his competitive debut for Tonbridge against Wealdstone.

In March 2011, he won the 'Sells Goalkeeping Academy Good Hands' award for the best defensive record in the Isthmian League Premier Division that month, conceding three goals in six games.

Worgan was named Tonbridge Angels player of the year for the 2010/11 season, with performances against Bury Town and Wealdstone particularly impressing fans.

At the end of the 2012–13 season, Worgan was named in the Conference South team of the year with performances against Dover, Salisbury and Hayes and Yeading particularly impressing managers and fans alike but after five years at Tonbridge, more than 200 appearances in all competitions and one promotion, Worgan announced that he was leaving the club.

Maidstone United
On 15 May 2013, Worgan joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Maidstone United. The stopper cited the size of the club and its infrastructure as his reasons for the move. He swept up the club's player of the season awards in his debut season, receiving the accolade from supporters, teammates, and the manager.

He was a pivotal part of the side that won promotion to the National League South in 2014-15 and made his 100th consecutive league appearance for the club on 5 September 2015 in the 0 - 0 draw away at Gosport Borough. Following the departure of Steve Watt, Worgan was made club captain at the Gallagher Stadium.

Worgan was once again a vital cog in the Stones machine that won an unlikely promotion to the National League at the climax of the 2015-16 season, with the goalkeeper going down in club folklore for his promotion-winning penalty save from Danny Kedwell in the playoff final against Ebbsfleet United. The promotion meant the club had gone up three times in 4 years, and it was Worgan's second consecutive promotion with the club.

During the 2016-17 season, Worgan's first ever in the top tier of non league football, he made his 150th consecutive league appearance for the Maidstone against Gateshead in October 2016.

Dover Athletic
On 29 October 2018, Worgan joined Kent rivals Dover Athletic on a -year deal that would also see him take up a coaching role. He made his debut for the club in a 2-2 home draw with Havant and Waterlooville in the FA Trophy first round.

International career
Worgan has played for Wales through most youth levels and was a regular in the Wales U21 team for several years.

Xanterra Travel Collection

Xanterra Travel Collection (formerly Xanterra Parks & Resorts, Amfac Resorts and Amfac Parks & Resorts) is a privately owned United States park and resort management company based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, controlled by entertainment magnate Phillip Anschutz. Denver-based billionaire Anschutz, who has an extensive history of developing and operating mineral, railroad, newsmedia and entertainment enterprises, is one of the largest private promoters of live events in the world, most notably soccer.

History
A legacy of the 19th century Fred Harvey Company, after the death of the founder's grandson in 1965, the company became affiliated with Chicago-based JMB Realty, which acquired large Hawaii landholder Amfac in 1968 and broke it up into independent corporations including Amfac Resorts. In 1995, Amfac bought the large national parks management concession TW Recreational Services from Flagstar.  In 2002, Amfac changed its corporate name to Xanterra after the bankruptcy of Amfac Hawaii.  The name comes from a combination of Xanadu and terra (Earth). The Anschutz Company bought Xanterra from JMB in 2008.

Xanterra specializes in tourism in U.S. National Parks, and has a presence in Yellowstone and Grand Canyon, and a number of other national and state parks. They are contracted by the US National Park Service to provide lodging and services in these parks. Accommodations and pricing vary widely and include quality hotel rooms, lodges, rustic cabins, motel-style lodging and camping.

The most notable of the original Harvey operations is the Grand Canyon South Rim concession, including the El Tovar Hotel.

Glacier National Park controversy
In March 2013, Anshutz Exploration Corp. announced that it would cease drilling on the Blackfeet Reservation. Five months later, Xanterra was awarded an important concessions contract in Glacier National Park.

On August 13, 2013, the National Park Service announced that a 16-year contract would be issued to Xanterra despite the fact that the energy division had been fracking on lands adjacent to the eastern boundary of the park.  Members of the Blackfeet Nation had been protesting the destruction of tribal lands for several years.

Tourist Railways

Xanterra operates the Grand Canyon Railway in Arizona on the line originally built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.  Since their takeover of the operation, the line has retired its steam locomotives and historic ALCO FA diesels, though the steam engines, modified to run on waste vegetable oil, are still used on special occasions.


The Ringer (2005 film)

The Ringer is a 2005 American sports comedy starring Johnny Knoxville, Katherine Heigl, and Brian Cox with cameos by Terry Funk and Jesse Ventura. Directed by Barry W. Blaustein, it was produced by the Farrelly brothers. The film was released on December 23, 2005 by Fox Searchlight Pictures.

Plot

Steve Barker (Johnny Knoxville) hates his job but after over two years of working, receives a promotion. His first duty is to fire his friend Stavi (Luis Ávalos), who is the janitor. Steve reluctantly does so, but hires him to work around his apartment. Stavi gets three fingers cut off in a lawn-mower accident, and reveals that he does not have health insurance. Steve must raise $28,000 within two weeks to pay for the surgery to re-attach his friend's fingers. His uncle Gary (Brian Cox), owes $40,000 in gambling debts and suggests that they fix the Special Olympics in San Marcos, Texas in order to solve both of their financial problems. Steve, who competed in track and field in high school as well as being in the drama club, reluctantly enters the Special Olympics in the guise of a high functioning young man with a developmental disability named Jeffy Dahmor. Gary, assuming that Steve will easily defeat the legitimate contenders, bets $100,000 that reigning champion Jimmy Washington (Leonard Flowers) won't win the gold medal. Despite initially being disgusted at pretending to be mentally challenged, Steve goes along with it for Stavi.

During the competition, Steve falls in love with Lynn (Katherine Heigl), a volunteer for the Special Olympics. During this time, six of the other contestants bust Steve after seeing through his ruse, so he tells them about what happened with Stavi. As Steve decides to pack up and leave for his ruse being exposed, they tell Steve to stay, since they want to help Steve save Stavi's fingers and they hate the egotistical, arrogant champion Jimmy and want to see him lose. After much training, Steve actually sees some improvement.

At the final competition, Steve does not actually win; his friend Glen (Jed Rees) does, with Steve coming in third behind Jimmy. During the medal ceremony Steve admits that he isn't developmentally disabled, reveals his actual name, and that he does not deserve his medal. He then gives his medal to Thomas (Bill Chott), who had finished fourth. Uncle Gary still ends up winning his bet, since the condition was that Jimmy would lose. Lynn, upset at being deceived, slaps Steve despite his attempts to apologize.

Six months later, Steve has quit his job and is working in theater, helping produce a play with the friends he made during the Special Olympics, as well as Stavi, who got his fingers reattached. Glen and the others trick Lynn into coming to the theater, so Steve starts to apologize. Lynn already forgives him because Stavi told her why Steve pretended to be developmentally disabled. Steve is relieved, and they kiss.

In a mid-credits scene, Steve and his friends dance onstage with the Kids of Widney High as they perform the song "Respect".

Professional wrestlers Terry Funk and Jesse Ventura's cameo appearances came about due to their friendship with director Barry Blaustein, who met the pair whilst filming wrestling documentary Beyond the Mat in the late 1990s. Funk portrayed one of the debt collectors, while Ventura lent his voice as a motivational speaker on tape.

Production notes

The film took seven years to get made due to its controversial subject.
The Special Olympics committee eventually agreed to endorse the film, the film makers having given them final say on the script.

Producer Farrelly is himself a longtime volunteer with Best Buddies, a group that provides mentoring program for people with intellectual disabilities, and has prominently featured characters with disabilities in his previous films such as Warren the brother of Mary in There’s Something About Mary and Rocket in Stuck on You.

During the end credits, scenes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet are shown being performed, ending with the Kids of Widney High performing Aretha Franklin's "Respect."

Reception
The film-review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes lists 40% positive reviews based on 88 critics, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 10. The general consensus is that the film was too predictable.

Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, stating: "The movie surprised me. It treats its disabled characters with affection and respect... and it's actually kind of sweet."

Spinal Cord Injury Zone stated: "Instead of tugging at the heartstrings, The Ringer uses the typical outrageous Farrelly Brothers humor (There's Something About Mary, Stuck on You, Shallow Hal) to promote the message that just like everyone else, individuals with intellectual disabilities are people first, each with their own interests, talents, abilities and personalities. The movie also features more than 150 people with intellectual disabilities in small parts and supporting roles."

Rail transport in Nigeria

Railways in Nigeria are operated by the Nigerian Railway Corporation.  Nigeria's rail system consists of 3,505 km of  gauge lines and 507 km of standard gauge lines.  Efforts are underway to develop the Cape gauge network as well as construct a new standard gauge network that can help transportation through this means to be suitable.

National network

Cape gauge

The Nigerian railways were originally built by the colonial power, Great Britain.  The railways were built to the  Cape gauge, the same track gauge used in most other British colonies in Africa.

The country has two major Cape-gauge rail lines:

 The Western Line connects Lagos on the Bight of Benin to Nguru in the northern state of Yobe, over a distance of .
 The Eastern Line connects Port Harcourt in the Niger Delta to Maiduguri in the northeastern state of Borno, near the border with Chad.

There are also several branch lines:

 The Linking Line connects Kaduna on the Western Line to Kafanchan on the Eastern Line.
 Ifaw–Ilaro (Western Line),
 Minna–Baro (Western Line),
 Zaria–Kaura Namoda (Western Line), .
 Kuru–Jos (Eastern Line),

In the past the   gauge Bauchi Light Railway operated between Zaria and Jos over a distance of .  This line was partially converted to  in 1927, and the remainder was abandoned in 1957.

There are no railway links with adjacent countries.  Nigeria does not use the same track gauge as its neighbours, where the French and German colonial government built metre gauge railway networks.  There were plans to establish rail links to Niger through Illela in Sokoto state and Cameroon, but these have not yet been built.

Standard gauge

A standard gauge railway connects the national capital of Abuja to the city of Kaduna, an important junction point on the Cape gauge railway network.  The 187 km line is the first segment of the planned Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway to be completed.

The Warri–Itakpe standard gauge line connects the port city of Warri to Itakpe. The 320 km line began test runs in November 2018, but the stations will not be completed until the first quarter of 2019.

History

Construction

The construction of railways in Nigeria started from Lagos Colony to Ibadan in March 1896, by the British government.

The Lagos Government Railway began operations in March 1901 and was extended to Minna in 1911, where it met the Baro–Kano Railway that was built by the government of Northern Nigeria between 1907 and 1911. The two lines were amalgamated in 1912 into the Government Department of Railways, the predecessor to the Nigerian Railway Corporation.  The railway reached its northeastern terminus of Nguru in 1930.

After coal was discovered at Udi, the Eastern Railway was built to Port Harcourt between 1913 and 1916.  This railway was extended to Kaduna in 1927, connecting the Eastern Railway to the Lagos–Kano Railway. The Eastern Railway was extended to its northeastern terminus of Maiduguri between 1958 and 1964.

Decline

Years of neglect of both the rolling stock and the right-of-way have seriously reduced the capacity and utility of the system.  Couplings of the ABC kind, vacuum brakes and non-roller bearing plain axles are also obsolete.  By early 2013, the only operational segment of Nigeria's rail network was between Lagos and Kano. Passenger trains took 31 hours to complete the journey at an average speed of 45 km/h.

Rehabilitation

A project to restore Nigeria's railways has been underway since 2009.  The eastern line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri was restored at a cost of 427 million by Lingo Nigeria, Eser West Africa, and the China Gezhouba Group.

In order to remedy the poor condition, efficiency, and profitability of the nation's railroads, the government is also seeking to privatize the Nigerian Railway Corporation.  Under the privatization plan, the railways will be split into three concessions, each to be awarded for a period of 25–30 years.

In 2019, the Cape gauge railways had only 15 functional locomotives.

Standard gauge network

In 2006, the government contracted with the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) to build the Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway. It was later decided to complete the project in segments due to a lack of funds. After many delays, the segment from Abuja to Kaduna (187 km) opened officially on 26 July 2016. The Lagos–Ibadan section began construction in March 2017. The third section will link Kano to Port Harcourt and Lagos.

In 1987, a contract was awarded to build the Central Line, a standard gauge railway to connect the iron ore deposits at Itakpe to the Ajaokuta Steel Mill and the Atlantic Ocean port of Warri.  The railway was originally planned for completion in five years, but sporadic funding stretched out its construction period over 30 years. In August 2017, the Minister of Transportation announced that the railway would be completed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and Julius Berger. Trial runs began in November 2018, and the railway is expected to be completed in 2020. In October 2019, the government signed a $3.9 billion contract with the China Railway Construction Corporation Limited to extend the railway to the national capital of Abuja.

Metro systems

Several metro systems are active or under construction:

 Abuja Light Rail, opened in 2018
 Lagos Rail Mass Transit
 Rivers Monorail in Port Harcourt
 Calabar Monorail
 Kaduna State Light rail

The Ford Vedette is a large car formerly manufactured by Ford SAF in their Poissy plant from 1948-1954.

Originally conceived by Edsel Ford and Ford designer Eugene T. "Bob" Gregorie as a “light” Ford model, smaller than the 1942 Ford. However, Edsel Ford died in 1943, and following the war Ford corporate felt the light car project would pull sales from the full size Ford. Additionally, Henry Ford II felt that Gregorie’s planned 1949 Ford, which shared the same character lines as the Light Ford, was too large for its market, as was Gregorie’s proposed 1949 Mercury. To that end, the planned Ford and Mercury lines were pushed to Mercury and Lincoln, and a contest held to design a Ford that would at once smaller than the Mercury, but larger than the Light Ford.  To recoup the cost of Light Ford, that car was transferred to Ford France.

Introduced at the 1948 Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, it was designed entirely in Detroit (resembling contemporary Mercury models) and featured the Poissy-made 2158 cc Aquillon sidevalve V8 engine of Ford's Flathead engine family, the same as in pre-war Matford cars. It was the only French car of its time with a V8 engine.

First years of production
Because the Poissy factory could not resume complete automobile production immediately after World War II, many vital components had still to be made by various subcontractors, which reportedly had an adverse effect on the quality of the car and contributed to its limited popularity. Over the six years in production, the Vedette was available in several body styles, ranging from the original four-door fastback (with rear suicide doors) through the later four-door saloon, a Sunliner two-door landaulet based on the saloon (with a roll-down roof over the entire cabin), a two-door Coupé and, based on it, the Cabriolet Décapotable (a two-door convertible).

1950s updates
Under the direction of the new company president, François Lehideux, Ford France refreshed the car for 1950, and again in 1952, when it finally received a one-piece windscreen, new interior and bumpers, better brakes, lengthened rear overhang and trunk - and a cigarette lighter. The 1953 October Mondial de l'Automobile also saw a luxury version of the Vedette, the Ford Vendôme, fitted with the bigger 3923 cc Mistral V8 engine, previously used in Ford France trucks.

Also updated in 1953 was the five-door, five-seat Abeille (French for "bee") estate with a two-piece tailgate, advertised as both practical (with a payload of ) and comfortable. The Abeille, originally exhibited with little fanfare at the October 1951 Motor Show as a "farmer's car" (voiture agricole)'' and launched more formally as the "Ford Abeille" in June 1952, was a "no frills" development of the Vedette with which it shared its wheel base and engine, but the rear overhang and therefore the overall length were shorter by    The interior surfaces of the Abeille were almost without exception of painted metal, and the front bench seat of the Vedette was replaced with two "rustic" seats apparently taken from a commercial van, but behind them the rear bench was easy to remove, allowing for the installation of a flat "false-floor" of timber planks, and facilitating the use of the car as a load carrier for farmers and small-scale traders.  At the October 1953 Motor Show the standard Abeille was listed at 845,000 Frances as against 935,000 francs for the least expensive version of the Vedette.

Sale of the Poissy factory
Facing unsatisfactory sales results, as well as disruptive strikes at the Poissy plant at the turn of the decade, Ford had been trying to dispose of the factory since shortly after the end of the war. An opportunity arose in 1954, when Henri-Theodore Pigozzi, the founder of the increasingly successful French automaker Simca, was looking for a new plant to expand its operations. Ford France was merged into Simca with both the Poissy plant and the rights to all models manufactured there — including a newly designed Vedette. The new car had debuted in France under the name of Simca Vedette, but was sold as the Ford Vedette in some markets (including Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany) at least until 1956.

He is listed as one of the most important contributors to the library profession during the 20th century by the journal American Libraries.

Education and early career
Ulveling was born in Adrian, Minnesota.

Before relocating to Michigan, Ulveling served as Reference Assistant at the Newberry Library in Chicago from 1924–1926 and then as Librarian at the Potter County Library in Amarillo, Texas from 1926-1927.

He attended the prestigious School for Library Science at Columbia University in New York City from 1927-1928.

Career
As Chief of Branches for the Detroit Public Library, Ulveling oversaw the creation of the Detroit system for self-book-charging and the opening of the Parkman Branch Library.

While serving as the Associate Director of the Detroit Public Library from 1934 to 1941 and as chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Michigan Library Association (MLA), Ulveling won the first state aid for libraries in Michigan from the Michigan legislature in 1937. As President of the MLA from 1937–1938, he was instrumental in the creation of the Michigan State Board for Libraries by the Michigan legislature. After his tenure as president of the MLA, Ulveling served on the Michigan State Board for Libraries from 1938-1939.

Ulveling oversaw the continued expansion of the Detroit Public Library system with the opening of the Mark Twain branch library in 1939 and the Bookmobile service in 1940. Soon after, Ulveling became Director of the Detroit Public Library in 1941, a position he would serve in for over 26 years.

In 1942, Ulveling helped form the Friends of the Detroit Public Library, a group of community leaders dedicated to advancing the DPL through fundraising and public awareness activities.

As President of the American Library Association (ALA) from 1945–1946, Ralph Ulveling served as member of the First U.S. National Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

In 1957, Ulveling inadvertently created a nationwide censorship controversy when his disparaging remarks about The Wizard of Oz were printed in the Lansing State Journal.  Ulveling criticized the book's "negativism" and said that "instead of setting a high goal...it drags young minds down to a cowardly level".  Leading national publications and the author's son Frank Joslyn Baum editorialized against Ulveling's comments.  Ulveling responded that not adding new copies of the book was "not banning...it is selection."

Personal life
Ralph Ulveling married the former Elizabeth Baer on December 16, 1939 and had three children, daughters Honor (b. 1942) and Ann (b. 1947), and son, Roger (b. 1943).

Euphiuche apoblepta

Euphiuche apoblepta is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is known from Australia (Queensland).


The Casa de la Festa Major de Vilafranca del Penedès (Vilafranca del Penedès Town Festival Centre), located in the old chicken and giblets market, is a space that gathers together the rich folklore of the Vilafranca del Penedès town festival(), held between 28 August and 3 September, to honour the feast day of Sant Fèlix (Saint Felix). Municipally owned, it is part of the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network.

The building
Classified as an industrial Art Nouveau building, the old chicken and giblets market was the work of Vilafranca architect Santiago Güell; it was built in 1911 and renovated in 1927. Since 1987, this space has had two functions: to archive and store the folkloric heritage related to the Vilafranca town festival and to serve as a museum to disseminate said heritage.

Exhibition
The Town Festival Centre exhibits the typical dances of the Vilafranca town festival, or festa major, many of which are medieval in origin and related to the different guilds and collectives, as well as the origin of the bestiary, the dragon and the oldest pair of giants, the castellers, or human castles, and all the dances and music that are part of the festivities.


Lega Nazionale Professionisti

The Lega Nazionale Professionisti (Italian for National League of Professionals), commonly known as Lega Calcio (Football League), was the governing body that ran the two highest football divisions in Italy, namely Serie A and Serie B, from 1946 to 2010. The league also ruled the Serie C from 1948 to 1959. It has ceased to exist since 1 July 2010, following a split between Serie A and Serie B clubs, which led to the creation of two new leagues, the Lega Serie A and Lega Serie B respectively.

The Lega Calcio was founded as the Lega Nazionale (National League) in 1946, after the Second World War, and its name was changed in 1960, shortly after Italy fully recognized professional status for the players of the top divisions. Its predecessor during the fascist era, between 1926 and 1944, was the Direttorio Divisioni Superiori (Directory of Higher Divisions), a committee whose president was appointed by the FIGC. Earlier still before, the first football league in Italy was the Lega Nord (Northern League), which was composed of the major clubs of Northern Italy from 1921 to 1926.

Promotion and relegation between the divisions were a central feature of the league: at the end of the season the bottom clubs of Serie B switched with the top clubs of the Lega Serie C (or its predecessors), thus integrating the League into the Italian football league system. Besides, the Lega Calcio also organized the main Italian cup competition, the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana.

Competition

League
The member clubs of the Lega Calcio were grouped into two divisions: the Serie A and Serie B. In any given season a club played each of the others in the same division twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents.

Clubs gained three points for a win (two before 1994) one for a draw, and none for a defeat. At the end of each season, the club with the most points in the Serie A was crowned champion. If points were equal, the head-to-head records determined the winner (tie-breakers were also used in the past). If still equal, the goal difference and then goals scored became the deciding factors. As for Serie B, at the top end two, three or four clubs won promotion to Serie A, with the bottom Serie A clubs taking their places. At the lower end, three or four club were relegated to the Serie C, while teams from the Lega C joined in their place.

Promotion and relegation were determined by final league positions, but to sustain interest for more clubs over the length of the season in the later years one promotion place from Serie B was decided according to a playoff between four clubs, which took place at the end of the season. It was therefore possible for a team finishing sixth in the championship to be promoted rather than the clubs finishing immediately above them in the standings. Likewise, one relegation place to the Serie C1 was decided according to a playoff between two clubs.

Youth teams of Lega Calcio clubs played in the Campionato Nazionale Primavera, as well as competing in their own cup competitions, such as the Coppa Italia Primavera and the Supercoppa Primavera.

Cup
The Lega Calcio organised a cup competition, the Coppa Italia, open to all Serie A and Serie B clubs and some clubs from the Serie C.

Supercup
The Lega Calcio also organised the Supercoppa Italiana, between the champions of the Serie A and the winners of the Coppa Italia.

2010 split
On 30 April 2009, after divisions between Serie A and Serie B clubs regarding the future of the league, 19 of 20 top flight clubs (the only exception being U.S. Lecce) agreed on plans to split from Serie B to form another governing and financing body, with the same name Serie A, in a move reminiscent of England's Premier League formation in 1992. Subsequently, on 1 July 2010, the Lega Calcio has officially ceased to exist and replaced by the two newly formed leagues, Lega Serie A and Lega Serie B.

Italy–Turkey relations

Italy-Turkey relations refer to relations between Italy and Turkey. Both countries are members of NATO and the Union for the Mediterranean and have active diplomatic relations.

History

Turkey, then the Ottoman Empire, begun its first diplomatic mission to Italy in 1856, shortly before the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy, by sending Ambassador Rüstem Pasha. Since then, Turkey has had a constant presence in Italy throughout both their embassy in Rome and their consulates in Milan and Naples.

In 1902, a diplomatic crisis between Italy and the Ottoman took place. The crisis began due to the Ottomans failing to prevent attacks by Turkish Arabs on Italian sambuks. When the Ottoman Empire refused to take precautions to prevent these attacks after repeated Italian threats, Italian warships bombarded Port Midi from 31 October onwards. On 10 November, the Ottoman Empire capitulated and agreed to take measures to curb piracy as well as pay an indemnity, ending the crisis.

From 1911 to 1912, Italy and the Ottoman empire fought a war over the Turkish provinces of Tripolitana and Cyrenaica, with the former emerging as the victor.

Italy's presence in Turkey now consists of an embassy in Ankara, a General Consulate in İstanbul, and a consulate in İzmir, together with honorary consulates in Antalya, Bursa, Gaziantep, İskenderun, and Nevşehir, and a Consular Correspondent in Eskişehir.

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio condemned the 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria, declaring that the offensive against Kurdish forces in Syria is "unacceptable" and calling for an immediate end to the fighting. Italy joined an arms embargo against Turkey, despite previously being Turkey's primary EU weapons supplier.

Intercultural influences

Italian culture in Turkey
Istanbul is home to one of the Italian Cultural Institutes opened throughout the world by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Institute, among other cultural activities, offers Italian language courses, also offered by a number of Turkish universities, such as Ankara University and Istanbul University.

İzmir and Ankara are hosts to, respectively, the Italian Culture Center "Carlo Goldoni" and the Italian Friendship Association "Casa Italia". Both of these associations engage in the organisation of events promoting Italian culture and of courses teaching the Italian language.

A number of Italian schools are present in Turkey, with the great majority of them being located in Istanbul. Italian schools in Turkey include kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools.

Immigration
It is estimated that there are 30,000 to 40,000 Turks residing in Italy.

Ji-hoon first tracks down Hee-won, who is working as a teacher at a local school. They decide that instead of going to the police, they'd be better off trying to track the film's makers themselves and get the film taken offline without making a fuss, since both of their careers could suffer.

Kalmthout Heath

The Kalmthout Heath () is one of the oldest and largest nature reserves of Flanders, bordering the Netherlands and part of the Dutch-Belgian cross-border park De Zoom – Kalmthoutse Heide. It used to be part of a vastly larger European heath landscape. Its name stems from its location: the Belgian municipality Kalmthout.

It has been protected as a landscape since 1941, and officially became a state reserve () in 1964 due to a petition of over 100,000 signatures.

Geography

The heath is an infiltration area located in a cover sand region, in the north of the province of Antwerp. Its relief consists mainly of clay sediments from the Early Pleistocene Kempen Formation. Dunes formed during the Preboreal and the Boreal epochs. At least some of the heath's larger dune systems were still active up until at least the 1990s. In these dune systems, dune-forms (featuring dry podzols or undifferentiated soils) such as parabolic dunes and longitudinal dunes alternate with vast deflation planes (featuring wet podzols) with multiple moorland pools. All of the soils are sandy, transported by saltation. Its water is low in minerals and profoundly acid.

Visitor centre "De Vroente"

"De Vroente" is a NME-centre () of the Flemish Government located at the main entrance of the Kalmthout Heath, and is the main visitor centre for the cross-border park "De Zoom – Kalmthoutse Heide" which spans six thousand hectares. The centre also features nature exhibitions.

The Steertse Heath

Because of the desiccation and dramatic reduction of biodiversity in "De Groote Meer" in Ossendrecht; in 2015, seven nature organisations advocated for buying lands of the agriculture enclave "The Steertse Heath" located on the Belgian territory of the Kalmthout Heath.


Purana (genus)

Purana is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia. Its distribution includes Java, Sumatra, Borneo, The Philippines, peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, India, Indochina, China, and Japan. Only one species has been recorded east of the Wallace Line, Purana celebensis, from Sulawesi. In all species the male possess two pairs of dark ventral abdominal tubercles on third and fourth sternites. The male opercula are rather short and generally do not reach beyond the posterior pair of tubercles. Related genera that also possess abdominal tubercles are Leptopsaltria, Maua, Nabalua and Tanna which together with Purana are in the subtribe Leptopsaltriina of the tribe Cicadini.

Shanghai Rego International School

The Shanghai Rego International School () was a private international school located in Minhang District, Shanghai, China. The school operated on the National Curriculum (UK), delivers the IB-Diploma Program to 16- to 18-year-olds and provides a learning environment for expatriate children aged 2–18. The school delivered the English National Curriculum from Nursery to Key Stage 5 (ages 2–18) which includes the ICGSE and A Level Programme.

To accommodate non-native English speakers and to facilitate the transfer back to the home country, the school offered a fully integrated Mother Tongue Programme in Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Chinese.

Location
The school was located in Minhang District, Shanghai, from the Shanghai Zoo Hongqiao,  from Xujiahui,  from Zhongshan Park,  from Xintiandi,  from Jing'an Temple, and  from Lujiazui.

Specialties
An extensive Mother Tongue Program including: Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Chinese. There are also many Extra-curricular activities, Sport Clubs, Art, Drama and Music. There is also EAL for students with English as their secondary language.

Sports teams
Rego used to have many competitive sports teams, including rugby, football, swimming, netball, basketball and volleyball. The school does not have sufficient student numbers to field teams now.

Controversy

In 2012 it was announced that the school had been struggling to obtain the proper permits and authorizations from the local Chinese government. The owner of the school stated publicly that the teachers had been working in Shanghai with tourist visas for at least 6 months. Tourist visas only allow visitors to stay for 30 days and it is illegal to work in China while visiting with a tourist visa. He also admitted there were "difficulties" paying the teachers on a regular schedule, but the administration declined to provide details on what exactly these difficulties were. The school has since closed due to unpaid staff, including teachers, a bus company, catering, cleaning services and guards.

The government has stated that when the school's land-lease expires in 2013, it will not be eligible for renewal. This decision was made to satisfy the growing needs of the city, allowing Shanghai to create a new public school.

The pay dispute crisis continued into 2014, where by February, there were 40 students remaining.

William John Fitzpatrick

William John Fitzpatrick (31 August 1830 – 24 December 1895) was an Irish historian.

Life
He was born at Thomas Street, Dublin.
His father, John FitzPatrick, was a successful merchant or trader who left his son a competence.
FitzPatrick was educated first at a Protestant school, and later at Clongowes Wood College, co. Kildare, the well-known Jesuit School.
He early displayed a taste for recondite and somewhat morbid investigation into the secret history of eminent personages. In 1855 appeared his first book, The Life, Times, and Contemporaries of Lord Cloncurry; the style was 'puerile, involved, and turgid,' revealing a defect which the author never overcame.
But his next book, The Life and Times of Bishop Doyle (1861), was much more successful, and, besides giving a vivid picture of a powerful personality, it provides a useful contribution to Irish nineteenth-century history.

On 3 November 1855, FitzPatrick commenced a series of letters to Notes and Queries, 'Who wrote the Waverley Novels ?' It was a weak attempt to foster a charge of unacknowledged plagiarism on Sir Walter Scott, and to claim for the novelist's brother, Thomas Scott, the chief credit for a large part of the famous Waverley series; but after four letters had appeared, the editor declined to publish any more. FitzPatrick continued to pursue his theory with pertinacity, and in 1856 published his material as a pamphlet.
It reached a second edition in the same year.
His hopeless claim in behalf of Thomas Scott was repudiated in a letter to the Times of 5 June 1857 by the three daughters of that gentleman.
In 1859, FitzPatrick published The Friends, Foes, and Adventures of Lady Morgan, and in 1860 Lady Morgan, her Career, Literary and Personal; these were followed by Anecdotal Memoirs of Archbishop Whately (1864).

In his Lord Edward Fitzgerald, or Notes on the Cornwallis Papers (1859), FitzPatrick first hit upon the vein of inquiry which he afterwards worked with conspicuous success that of investigating the inner history of Ireland before the union.
In 1866, in The Sham Squire, he followed up the story of Lord Edward FitzGerald's betrayal.
Upwards of sixteen thousand copies were sold.
In 1867, in Ireland before the Union, he pursued the same subject; but this volume was much less successful than its predecessor. It contains, however, some curious extracts from the privately printed diary of John Scott, 1st Earl of Clonmell.

For some years after 1867, FitzPatrick's productiveness was checked, though The Life and Times of Dr. Lanigan (1873) and The Life of Father Tom Burke (1885) proved that he had not abandoned his interest in ecclesiastical biography. A Life of Charles Lever, which appeared in 1879, was not felicitous.
In 1888, however, he published The Correspondence of Daniel O'Connell, with his Life and Times, a work of exceptional value and importance.
It was reviewed by Gladstone in the Nineteenth Century.

Equally valuable as a contribution to history was his Secret Service under Pitt (1892), a work involving infinite labour among the Irish State Papers of the period, and displaying, even more fully than The Sham Squire, FitzPatrick's detective skill in piecing together scattered items of evidence.
This was FitzPatrick's last work of importance.
In 1895, shortly before his death, he published anonymously Memories of Father [James] Healy, the well-known wit ; but the book was quite unworthy of its subject, partly from the difficulty of communicating the subtle charm of Healy's personality to the printed page, and partly from the writer's defective sense of humour. A History of the Dublin Catholic Cemeteries, which he did not live to complete, was published after his death by the catholic cemeteries committee in 1900.

FitzPatrick was long actively interested in the work of the Royal Irish Academy and the Royal Dublin Society.
In 1870, he was appointed honorary professor of history at the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts.
His book on O'Connell won recognition at Rome, and he received from Pope Leo XIII the insignia of the order of St. Gregory the Great.
He was also accorded the honorary degree of LL.D. by the Royal University of Ireland.
He served twice as high sheriff for the co. Longford.
FitzPatrick died at his residence, 48 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin, after a short illness.

Gustav Sohon

Gustav Sohon (1825–1903) was an American artist, interpreter, and topographical assistant.

Born in 1825 in Tilsit, East Prussia, Gustav Sohon immigrated to the United States in 1842 at the age of 17. In the early 1850s, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. Upon his enlistment he was stationed in the West, and eventually found his way to Fort Steilacoom. One of his first assignments was with Lieutenant John Mullan, who was surveying the country between the Rocky and Bitterroot Mountains for the Pacific Railroad Surveys railroad survey led by Isaac Stevens.

Sohon reaches the Northwest
From that moment on, Sohon witnessed and contributed to some of the most momentous events in the history of the Northwest. As an army private, he served with the Stevens railroad survey for over a year before his artistic ability came to the Governor's attention. Sohon proved to have a flair for linguistics, and was soon fluent in the Flathead and Pend d'Oreille languages. This skill enabled him to communicate with the Indians, and allowed him the opportunity to draw portraits of many of the most important Native American leaders. It is because of Sohon's easy way with native conversation that we can now witness his perspective of the past through the expressive images he created.

Sohon was also a talented painter, who produced accurate landscapes and vivid scenes from native life, including the first panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains and the earliest-known sketch of the Great Falls of the Missouri. He also recorded several of the treaty councils during his time with Stevens.

End of army life
Sohon's five-year enlistment ended in July 1857. He then sought out his earlier friend and mentor, Lieutenant John Mullan. Mullan was spearheading the construction of a military road from Walla Walla to Fort Benton, and Sohon surveyed routes and monitored the construction progress. In 1860 Sohon guided the first wagon party to cross the Rocky and Bitterroot Mountains to the Columbia Plateau by a route other than the more accustomed Overland Trail. When Mullan's Road was complete, Sohon accompanied him to Washington, DC, to assist in the preparation of topographical data, maps, and illustrations for a report on the road's construction. He never returned to the Northwest.

Marriage and family
In April 1863, Gustav Sohon and Julianna Groh were married. For a brief time they lived in San Francisco, where Sohon ran a photography studio. Several years later, they returned to Washington, DC, where Sohon disappeared from public life, running a shoe business and raising a large family with Julianna. He died on September 9, 1903.

Sohon's artistic abilities place him the same league with such other, better-known Western artists as George Catlin, Paul Kane, and Karl Bodmer. As an artist, Sohon was a product of his time and his depictions of treaty events reflect this. His drawings and watercolor paintings allow everyone who views them to see, through his eyes, the treaty councils between the United States Government and Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest.
