Tim Marcum (February 10, 1944 – December 5, 2013) was an American football coach, best known for his long and successful career in the Arena Football League. He was the head coach of the AFL's Denver Dynamite in 1987, the Detroit Drive from 1988–1992 and the Tampa Bay Storm from 1995–2010. Marcum also served as an assistant coach in the NJCAA, NCAA, United States Football League, World Football League, NFL and the Arena Football League. Marcum head coached in eleven ArenaBowl championship games, winning seven. Marcum was one of two men to win seven ArenaBowls (the other being Omarr Smith, who was a member of Marcum's 2003 championship team); and the only man to win seven ArenaBowls as a head coach (no other head coach won more than four). He was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 1998. Marcum was one of the most successful coaches in the history of the sport of indoor football, and is considered the greatest coach in the Arena Football League's 32-year history.
Early life
Marcum was born February 10, 1944, in Roscoe, Texas. He attended Snyder High School.
College
Marcum attended McMurry University in Abilene, Texas, where he quarterbacked the Indians. Under the guidance of future College Football Hall of Fame coach Grant Teaff, Marcum started the 1965 and 67 seasons for the Indians, leading them to a 5–13–2 record.
Arena coaching career
Following a largely unremarkable early coaching career serving primarily as a collegiate and USFL assistant, Marcum became the coach of the Denver Dynamite, one of the original AFL franchises, and led them to the championship of the first-ever ArenaBowl, but the team suspended operations after its initial season in 1987. Not waiting for the Dynamite to resume operations (which they later did for three years starting in 1989),
he then went on to coach the Detroit Drive for that team's entire existence save 1990, when he was an assistant with the University of Florida. This team became the AFL's first dynasty, playing in the ArenaBowl during every year of its existence. However, this team likewise folded, but Marcum's success with them became the basis for his hiring and tenure with the most successful Arena team ever, the Tampa Bay Storm, where he achieved his greatest fame, and arguably the greatest fame of any Arena coach (as of 2014), winning four more ArenaBowl championships, including another back-to-back run (1995 and 1996).
On February 17, 2011, Marcum resigned as head coach and general manager of the Tampa Bay Storm after 15 seasons with the team, less than a month before the season was set to begin. His resignation came after it was revealed that in a deposition given in a lawsuit between himself and former team owner Robert Nucci, Marcum had admitted to receiving and forwarding via his work e-mail account material that was pornographic and racially insensitive. Marcum stated that he would not be able to go forward as head coach as the controversy would cause too much of a distraction. It was reported that Marcum may have been fired had he not resigned. Marcum went on to serve as an assistant coach with the New Orleans Voodoo in 2012 and the Storm's fiercest rivals, the Orlando Predators, in 2013.
Death
On December 5, 2013, Marcum died at a hospice in Citrus County, Florida. The Arena Football League dedicated its 2014 Hall of Fame Weekend to Marcum's memory, with each player uniform bearing a navy and gold "TM" patch.

The Lockheed HC-130 is an extended-range, search and rescue (SAR)/combat search and rescue (CSAR) version of the C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft, with two different versions operated by two separate services in the U.S. armed forces.
The HC-130H Hercules and HC-130J Super Hercules versions are operated by the United States Coast Guard in a SAR and maritime reconnaissance role.
The HC-130P Combat King and HC-130J Combat King II variants are operated by the United States Air Force for long-range SAR and CSAR. The USAF variants also execute on scene CSAR command and control, airdrop pararescue forces and equipment, and are also capable of providing aerial refueling to appropriately equipped USAF, US Army, USN, USMC, and NATO/Allied helicopters in flight. In this latter role, they are primarily used to extend the range and endurance of combat search and rescue helicopters.
In July 2015, it was announced that the U.S. Forest Service will be receiving some of the U.S. Coast Guard's HC-130H aircraft to use as aerial fire retardant drop tankers as the Coast Guard replaces the HC-130H with additional HC-130J and HC-27J Spartan aircraft, the latter being received from the Air National Guard as part of a USAF-directed divestment of the C-27.
Development
The United States Coast Guard was the first recipient of the HC-130 variant. In keeping with the USN/USMC/USCG designation system of the time, the designation for the first order in 1958 was R8V-1G, but with the introduction of the Tri-Service aircraft designation system for commonality with the US Army and USAF in 1962, this was eventually changed to HC-130B. Six USCG HC-130E aircraft were produced in 1964, but production soon switched to the new C-130H platform which was entering service. The first HC-130H flew on 8 December 1964 and the USCG still operates this aircraft.
First flown in 1964, the USAF HC-130P Combat King aircraft has served many roles and missions. Based on the USAF C-130E airframe, it was modified to conduct search and rescue missions, provide a command and control platform, conduct in-flight refueling of helicopters, and carry supplemental fuel in additional internal cargo bay fuel tanks for extending range or air refueling. They were also originally modified to employ the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system, although this system has since been discontinued and the specialized equipment removed. The HC-130N was a follow-up order without the Fulton recovery system and all USAF extant HC-130Ps have since had their Fulton recovery systems removed.
Role
USAF HC-130P/N Combat King
The USAF HC-130P/N, also known as the Combat King aircraft, can fly in the day against a reduced threat; however, crews normally fly night, low-level, air refueling and airdrop operations using night vision goggles (NVG). The aircraft can routinely fly low-level NVG tactical flight profiles to avoid detection. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, USAF HC-130 crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Secondary mission capabilities include performing tactical airdrops of pararescue specialist teams, small bundles, zodiac watercraft, or four-wheel drive all-terrain vehicles; and providing direct assistance to a survivor in advance of the arrival of a recovery vehicle. Other capabilities are extended visual and electronic searches over land or water, tactical airborne radar approaches and unimproved airfield operations. A team of three Pararescuemen (PJ's), trained in emergency trauma medicine, harsh environment survival and assisted evasion techniques, is part of the basic mission crew complement.
Up until 2016, HC-130P/N aircraft of the Combat Air Forces (CAF) were a combination of mid to late-1960s vintage aircraft based on C-130E airframes and mid-1990s vintage aircraft based on C-130H3 airframes. All underwent extensive modifications. These modifications included night vision-compatible interior and exterior lighting, a personnel locator system compatible with aircrew survival radios, improved digital low-power color radar and forward-looking infrared systems. As of 2018, with the exception of a handful of extant aircraft in the Air National Guard, all remaining HC-130P/N aircraft are operated by the Air Force Reserve Command.
USCG HC-130H
The HC-130H first flew on 8 December 1964. The Coast Guard began equipping with the HC-130H in the late sixties and early seventies,.
U.S. Coast Guard HC-130Hs were primarily acquired for long-range overwater search missions, support airlift, maritime patrol, North Atlantic Ice Patrol and command and control of search and rescue, replacing previously operated HU-16 Albatross amphibious and HC-123 Provider land-based aircraft. Like their USAF counterparts, USCG HC-130s also have the capability of air dropping rescue equipment to survivors at sea or over open terrain. They carried additional equipment and two 1,800-gallon fuel bladders in the cargo compartment.
USAF HC-130P Combat Shadow
The MC-130P Combat Shadow series of aircraft initially entered service in December 1965 during the Vietnam War as the HC-130H CROWN airborne controller. The CROWN airborne controllers located downed aircrew and directed Combat Search and Rescue operations over North Vietnam. In mid-1966 flight testing began of rescue helicopters equipped with aerial refueling receivers, and 11 of the controller aircraft were modified as tankers and redesignated the HC-130P SAR Command and Control/vertical lift (helicopter) aerial refueling aircraft, entering service in Southeast Asia in November 1966. Originally assigned to the Tactical Air Command (TAC) and then the Military Airlift Command (MAC), Combat Shadows have been part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) since that command's establishment in 1993. In February 1996, AFSOC's 28-aircraft HC-130P tanker fleet was redesignated the MC-130P Combat Shadow, aligning the variant with AFSOC's other M-series special operations mission aircraft. At the same time as this redesignation, USAF continued to field HC-130P/N aircraft as dedicated CSAR platforms under the Air Combat Command (ACC) and in ACC or PACAF-gained CSAR units in the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard.
USCG HC-130J
The new HC-130J aircraft are derived from the Lockheed Martin KC-130J tanker operated by the U.S. Marine Corps. The USCG has six HC-130Js in service, but they are not capable of refueling helicopters in flight. The first delivery of this variant to the United States Coast Guard was in October 2003. They initially operated in a logistic support role until they received significant modifications, including installations of a large window on each side of the fuselage to allow crew members to visually scan the sea surface, the addition of an inverse synthetic aperture sea search radar, flare tubes, a forward-looking infrared/electro-optical sensor, a gaseous oxygen system for the crew and an enhanced communications suite. Aircraft are installed with the Minotaur Mission System and incorporates sensors; radar; and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment and enables aircrews to gather and process surveillance information that can be transmitted to other platforms and units during flight.
The first of these modified Coast Guard HC-130Js was delivered in March 2008 and complete delivered in September 2019. The 17th HC-130J for the United States Coast Guard is expected to be delivered in 2024.
The Coast Guard is acquiring a fleet of 22 new, fully missionized HC-130J aircraft to replace its legacy HC-130Hs.
USAF HC-130J Combat King II
The USAF HC-130J Combat King II combat rescue variant has modifications for in-flight refueling of helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft, including refueling pods on underwing pylons and additional internal fuel tanks in the cargo bay. The HC-130J Combat King II is also capable of itself being refueled in flight by boom-equipped tankers such as the KC-135, KC-10 and KC-46.
Lockheed Martin officials conducted the first flight of the USAF HC-130J version on 29 July 2010. The first HC-130J was delivered to the USAF in September 2010, but underwent further testing before achieving Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in 2012.
The HC-130J personnel recovery aircraft completed developmental testing on 14 March 2011. The final test point was air-to-air refueling, and was the first ever boom refueling of a C-130 where the aircraft's refueling receiver was installed during aircraft production. This test procedure also applied to the MC-130J Combat Shadow II aircraft in production for Air Force Special Operations Command.
Given the advancing age of its current HC-130P/N airframes, all of which are based on either the venerable (and since retired) mid/late-1960s vintage C-130E airframe or the more recent mid-1990s vintage C-130H2/H3 airframe, the Air Force plans to eventually buy up to 39 HC-130J Combat King IIs to equip rescue squadrons in the active Air Force, the Air Force Reserve Command and the Air National Guard. The first HC-130J was delivered to the 563d Rescue Group at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona on 15 November 2012.
The US Air Force Reserve received its first HC-130J on 2 April 2020 when it was delivered to the 920th Rescue Wing's 39th Rescue Squadron at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida.
Operational history
U.S. Coast Guard operations
The United States Coast Guard operates 18 HC-130H aircraft from three bases around the United States:
CGAS Clearwater, Florida
CGAS Kodiak, Alaska
CGAS Barbers Point (formerly NAS Barbers Point), Hawaii
These aircraft are used for search and rescue, enforcement of laws and treaties, illegal drug interdiction, marine environmental protection, military readiness, International Ice Patrol missions, as well as cargo and personnel transport.
The Coast Guard also currently operates an additional 9 HC-130J aircraft from CGAS Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
Neither the HC-130H nor the HC-130J in their U.S. Coast Guard variants are equipped for the aerial refueling of helicopters.
U.S. Air Force operations
The HC-130P (to include HC-130P/N) is primarily based on the C-130E airlift aircraft, with a smaller number based on the C-130H. The USAF HC-130J is a newly manufactured aircraft. As the dedicated fixed-wing combat search and rescue platform in the USAF inventory, the HC-130 is operated by the following units:
Air Combat Command
347th Rescue Group (347 RQG), 71st Rescue Squadron (71 RQS), Moody AFB, Georgia – HC-130J
563d Rescue Group (563 RQG), 79th Rescue Squadron (79 RQS), Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona – HC-130J
Air Education and Training Command
58th Special Operations Wing (58 SOW), 415th Special Operations Squadron (415 SOS), Kirtland AFB, New Mexico – HC-130J
Air Force Reserve Command
920th Rescue Wing (920 RQW), 39th Rescue Squadron (39 RQS), Patrick Space Force Base, Florida – HC-130P/N (transitions to HC-130J FY20/21)
Air National Guard
106th Rescue Wing (106 RQW), 102d Rescue Squadron (102 RQS), New York Air National Guard, Francis S. Gabreski Air National Guard Base, New York – HC-130J
129th Rescue Wing (129 RQW), 130th Rescue Squadron (130 RQS), California Air National Guard, Moffett Federal Airfield, California – HC-130J
176th Wing (176 WG), 211th Rescue Squadron (211 RQS), Alaska Air National Guard, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska – HC-130J
HC-130s were assigned to the Air Combat Command (ACC) from 1992 to 2003, to include those Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard rescue units operationally-gained by ACC. Prior to 1992, they were assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command (MAC). In October 2003, operational responsibility for the Continental United States (CONUS) and Alaskan air search and rescue (SAR) mission, as well as the worldwide combat search and rescue (CSAR) mission was transferred to the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) at Hurlburt Field, Florida.
In October 2006, all USAF CSAR forces were reassigned back to Air Combat Command with the exception of those Alaska Air National Guard CSAR assets which were transferred to the operational claimancy of Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). The CONUS and Alaska SAR missions were also transferred back to ACC and PACAF, respectively. However, the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) that had been previously located at McClellan Air Force Base, California and Scott Air Force Base, Illinois under MAC and at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia under ACC, was relocated to Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida under the control of 1st Air Force (1 AF), the USAF component command to U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and ACC's numbered air force for the Air National Guard.
While under AFSOC and since returning to ACC and PACAF, USAF, AFRC and ANG HC-130s have been deployed to Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Djibouti, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Greece in support of Operations Southern and Northern Watch, Operation Allied Force, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Unified Protector. HC-130s also support continuous alert commitments in Alaska, and provided rescue coverage for NASA Space Shuttle operations in Florida until that program's termination in 2011.
The USAF's first HC-130Js gained initial operating capability (IOC) in April 2013, permitting retirement of the first group of HC-130P aircraft based on C-130E airframes that were built in the mid and late 1960s. The first HC-130J was delivered by Lockheed Martin to Air Combat Command on 23 September 2010 for testing.
In 2009, there were HC-130P aircraft operated by the Air National Guard, and 10 by the Air Force Reserve Command. As of 2019, unofficial estimates place the number of HC-130Ps remaining at 6 airframes, all assigned to Air Force Reserve Command.
World's longest turboprop aircraft distance record
On 20 February 1972, Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Allison, USAF, and his flight crew,(CPT Richard J. Racette, Aircraft Commander, Niles IL; CPT David E. Gardner, Pilot, South Gate CA; MAJ Anthony Liparulo, Navigator, New London, CT; CPT Carl E. Bennett, Navigator, Hamilton TX; TSGT Morelle E. Larouche, Flight Engineer, Holyoke MA; TSGT William F. Litton, Flight Engineer, Pennington Gap PA; TSGT Theodore Trainer, Loadmaster, Wapabo WA; TSGT Robert Landry, Crew Chief, New Orleans, LA; Major Kenneth S. Wayne, Flight Surgeon, Oak Park IL; SSGT William L. Hippert, Radio Operator, Rahway NJ; SSGT Pat E. Carrothers, Radio Operator, Lake Charles LA.) set a recognized turboprop aircraft class record of for a great circle distance without landing. The USAF Lockheed HC-130H was flown from Ching Chuan Kang Air Base, Republic of China (Taiwan), to Scott AFB, Illinois in the United States. As of 2018, this record still stands more than 40 years later.

Gustav Schönleber (3 December 1851 in Bietigheim – 1 February 1917 in Karlsruhe) was a German landscape painter.
Biography
His father ran a small industrial plant and he received his primary education in Stuttgart. A childhood accident left him blind in one eye. He originally studied mechanical engineering at the University of Stuttgart, but he drew as a hobby and a cousin, who recognized his talent, suggested that he go to Munich to study at the private art school of Adolf Heinrich Lier. He studied landscape painting there from 1870 to 1873.
In the later 1870s, he travelled extensively; to France, Holland and Italy as well as throughout Germany, providing illustrations for numerous books and other publications. From 1880 to 1917, he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe, where his notable students included Friedrich Kallmorgen, Wilhelm Hasemann, Paul Müller-Kaempff, , Max Wilhelm Roman and Max Frey. By 1888, he was sufficiently well-off to build his own villa next to the Academy.
In 1895 he, Fritz von Uhde and Max Liebermann were chosen to represent Germany at the first Venice Biennale. In the mid 1900s, he was paid 10,000 Goldmarks by the government of Baden to paint scenes of the , before they were destroyed to improve navigation and make room for power plant construction.
He also served on the committee that selected artists to design trading cards for the Stollwerck chocolate company of Cologne, and was a member of the Deutscher Künstlerbund. He was awarded the Pour le Mérite for Sciences and Arts in 1911 and, in 1912, received the Order of the Crown from King William II of Württemberg.

Gonzalo Giribet is a Spanish-American invertebrate zoologist and Alexander Agassiz Professor of zoology working on systematics and biogeography at the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Harvard University. He is a past president of the International Society for Invertebrate Morphology, of the Willi Hennig Society, and vice-president of the Sociedad Española de Malacología (Spanish Malacological Society).
Early life
Giribet was born in Burgos and grew up in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Catalonia to a legal administrator and an engineer who worked in nuclear power plants. As a boy, he enjoyed windsurfing, beachcombing, and collecting sea shells. He attended, and then graduated from, the University of Barcelona in 1993, with bachelor's degrees in zoology and fundamental biology. He completed his doctorate in animal biology in 1997. He then moved to the American Museum of Natural History for postdoctoral research with Ward Wheeler, and from there moved to Harvard University in 2000, where he went through the ranks until becoming full professor in 2007, Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology in 2013, and Harvard College Professor in 2017.
Career
Giribet is a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London; a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History, New York; a research associate at the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; and an honorary research fellow at The Natural History Museum, London. Since 2014 he is Foreign Member of the biology section of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, Barcelona. In 2017 Giribet received an honorary doctorate (Doctor honoris causa) from the University of Copenhagen.
Early career
In 1996, he and his Spanish colleagues discovered that arthropods are monophyletic and that tardigrades are their sister group. In the same year, he, with the same group of authors, suggested that metazoan species are polymorphistic after he studied flatworm groups such as Dugesia, Seriata, Tricladida and Turbellaria. In 1999, he proposed to include Cycliophora as a sister group of Syndermata.
Later career
In 2001, with his colleagues from Australian Museum studied the systematics of some Arthropoda species.
In 2002, he and Ward Wheeler suggested that the molluscan bivalve group Anomalodesmata should be classless, and that the orders Myoida and Veneroida are not monophyletic.
The same year, he, Gregory Edgecombe, and their colleagues studied the phylogenetics of harvestmen, Opiliones, using data from 18s and 28s rRNA genes and morphology. Based on these analyses, they proposed that Dyspnoi and Laniatores formed the clade Dyspnolaniatores, which should be used as new classification for Opiliones. His later studies corroborated instead the traditional clade Palpatores, formed by Eupnoi and Dyspnoi.
In 2006, he, along with Jon Mallatt, provided evidence that Branchiopoda not Malacostraca is the sister group of Hexapoda after studying ribosomal RNA in various phyla including Kinorhyncha and Ecdysozoa. The same year, he also participated at Harvard Museum of Natural History exhibit where he, Naomi Pierce, Brian D. Farrell, and E. O. Wilson showed species of whip scorpions and Sonoran Desert millipedes.
In 2007, he traveled to New Zealand for intensive sampling of daddy longlegs and other invertebrates. In August 2007, he traveled to Florida, where he demonstrated that mite harvestmen found there are relatives of West African species, because when the supercontinent Pangea broke up the North American part took some of those species with it.
In 2009, he discovered the origin and evolution of animal organ systems by studying such bilaterian groups as Acoela and Nemertodermatida, which also showed that Acoelomorpha is not a sister group to them. During the same study he also suggested that the genus Xenoturbella is not a part of Deuterostoma super phylum, and that the genus Symbion and the Deuterostoma actually belong to the Bryzoa and Entoprocta subphyla.
In 2009, he and his students traveled to West Africa particularly to Cameroon and Gabon, where they collected velvet worms to compare them to the species found in Central, South America, and the Caribbean.
In 2022, a research group led by him and Prashant P. Sharma, his former Ph.D. student, showed that Arachnida is not monophyletic, using a dataset of over 500 genome libraries and morphology. In that study, horseshoe crabs were placed inside the arachnids, which suggests a complex history of terrestrialization in Chelicerata and challenges the century-old dogma of a single colonization of land in arachnids.
In 2023, his laboratory produced the first complete genome sequence of Onychophora, commonly known as the velvet worms.
Personal life
Giribet participates in various Windsurfing championships, including the Spanish National Championship, the European Championship, and the World Championship.

Isobel Hogg Kerr Beattie (25 August 1900 – 13 July 1970) was possibly the first woman in Scotland to practice architecture on a regular basis.
Early life
Beattie was born in 1900 to Lewis Beattie and Alice Walker Kerr, who were farmers. She graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art (1921–1926), but some of the more technical courses were taken at Heriot-Watt College. In the 1922 merit list she is noted as having taken Building Construction Stage III, gaining 57% in the exam, followed by Stage IV (71%). In 1923 she gained 79% in its Stage V exam and in 1924 took Mechanics and Strength of Materials, 2nd year – one of a number of courses put on specially for the College of Art students – gaining 51%.
Career
Beattie worked for a time in an office before practising independently from 1928 to 1929. She then returned to the College of Art where she obtained a further diploma. She was admitted as an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1931 while she was working in Edinburgh with the firm, Jamieson & Arnott. She later moved to Dumfries, probably working there independently; she worked in a room in an architectural office in Castle Street, Dumfries.
Death and legacy
She died in Applegarth in 1970 after an illness. The National Monuments Record of Scotland has a collection of slides related to her work.

Camille Maurane (November 29, 1911 – January 21, 2010), born Camille Moreau, was a French baryton-martin singer. His father was a music teacher and he started singing as a child in the Maîtrise Saint-Evode in Rouen. The sudden death of his mother and family upheaval meant a break of twelve years in regular singing.
He studied at the Paris Conservatoire in the class of Claire Croiza from 1936 to 1939. He began his professional career as a singer in 1940 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. After his debut as the Moine musicien in Le Jongleur de Notre-Dame on 14 January 1940, he went to create the following roles at the Opéra-Comique:

Doria (Ginevra, 1942)
a man, a peasant (Mon Oncle Benjamin, 1942)
a young man (Le Oui des Jeunes Filles, 1949).
Un Soldat (Dolorès, 1952)
He also sang in The Barber of Seville, La Basoche, Carmen, Lakmé, Louise, Madame Bovary, Madame Butterfly, Werther, Pelléas et Mélisande and oratorios like La Chanson du mal-aimé. He was occasionally billed under the name Moreau.
His voice was typical of the baryton-martin range (between baritone and tenor). He is famous for his interpretation of Debussy's Pelléas, for which he took part in three complete recordings of Pelléas et Mélisande. He is also regarded as one of the best interpreters of French mélodies, of which he left many recordings, since reissued on CD, and of Fauré's Requiem. His repertoire extended back to music of Rameau through to Arthur Honegger, Léo Ferré and other contemporaries.
A dedicated teacher, he taught at the Paris Conservatory until 1981.

James Leo Gibbons (1914–2001) was an American sportscaster who called Washington Redskins games from 1943 to 1967.
Early life
Gibbons was born on June 3, 1914, in Greeley Center, Nebraska. He attended Creighton University and the University of Omaha. In 1940 he moved to Washington D.C. to work as a comptometer operator at the Social Security Administration. He also took classes at George Washington University and at a radio school.
Broadcasting career
Gibbons began his radio career in 1942 as a part-time employee of WWDC. He joined WMAL in 1943, where he read commercials and provided color commentary for Redskins games. In 1946 he took over WMAL’s morning show, Town Clock. He also hosted WMAL’s Country Store, an annual Christmas drive that collected money and gifts for underprivileged children, called Maryland Terrapins football games, and hosted a weekly golf show on WMAL-TV. In 1953, Gibbons became the Redskins’ play-by-play announcer, calling games on a simulcast for radio and television. In 1955, the simulcasts ended and Gibbons called the TV broadcasts on CBS. In 1957, Gibbons left WMAL for WRC-TV and WOL. From 1960 to 1965, he called college football on ABC Radio.
Later life
During the 1960s, Gibbons began purchasing radio stations. He eventually owned four, WFMD and WFRE in Frederick, Maryland and WPVR-FM and WFIR in Roanoke, Virginia. They were sold in 1999. In 1994, Gibbons was inducted into the Washington Hall of Stars at RFK Stadium. Gibbons died of congestive heart failure on February 13, 2001, at his home in Bethesda, Maryland.

There's Always a Woman is a 1938 American comedy mystery film directed by Alexander Hall and starring Joan Blondell and Melvyn Douglas. Seeing the potential for a series, Columbia Pictures quickly made a sequel, There's That Woman Again, released the same year, with Douglas reprising his role, but with Virginia Bruce as Sally. No further sequels were made.
Plot
Bill Reardon's (Melvyn Douglas) private detective agency is not making any money, so he decides to swallow his pride and return to work for the district attorney as a special investigator. His wife Sally (Joan Blondell), who persuaded him to start his own business, decides to keep the agency going herself.
Sally is quickly hired by Lola Fraser (Mary Astor) to investigate Anne Calhoun (Frances Drake), a former girlfriend of Lola's husband Walter (Lester Matthews) who has been in contact with him. At a nightclub owned by Nick Shane (Jerome Cowan), pretending to be out with Bill for pleasure rather than business, Sally witnesses Anne's angry fiancé Jerry Marlowe (Robert Paige) threatening Walter, and before long Walter ends up dead.
Jerry is the prime suspect. Mr. Ketterling (Pierre Watkin), Jerry's employer, talks him into hiring Sally to prove him innocent. Shane could be behind it, she figures, but his body is found in the Reardons' apartment, where Sally catches a whiff of a familiar perfume, Lola's. Escaping police custody as a murder suspect, Sally gets Lola to sign a confession that she killed Shane in self defense by pretending to have found her handkerchief at the scene of the crime. However, Bill arrests Lola for hiring Shane to kill Walter to inherit all of his estate instead of getting a divorce settlement. When Shane started blackmailing her, she killed him.

"Break Away" (also known as "Breakaway") is a song written by Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle and first recorded by Art Garfunkel for his 1975 album Breakaway. Gallagher and Lyle released their own version on their 1976 album, also titled Breakaway.
"Break Away", with backing vocals by David Crosby and Graham Nash, was the third single release from Garfunkel's album. The song peaked at No.39 on the Billboard Hot 100 and, in February 1976, went to No.1 on the Easy Listening chart for one week.
On the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart, "Break Away" reached No.2. It was blocked from reaching the No.1 position by Paul Simon's song, "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover".
Gallagher and Lyle, the writers of the song, released their version of "Breakaway" in late 1976, the title track of their Breakaway LP. It charted in the British Isles, reaching No.35 in the UK and No.7 in Ireland.

David Alan Johnson (born 29 October 1970 in Dinnington, West Riding of Yorkshire) is an English former professional footballer who scored 15 goals from 105 appearances in the Football League playing as a forward for Sheffield Wednesday, Hartlepool United (in two separate loan spells), and Lincoln City. He was Lincoln's leading scorer in the
1993–94 season with 13 goals in all competitions. After leaving Lincoln in 1996, he joined the Conference club Altrincham.
Dave took a break from football after leaving Altrincham. After the break he joined Thundridge City FC as a player-coach, his most memorable moment being his overhead kick in a league match. He has now taken on a full coaching role for the club and has led the team to two top half finishes, two seasons in a row. Thundridge City FC earned promotion in the 2015/16 season.
Despite Johnson enjoying early success with Thundridge, he has recently found himself under pressure from the club's board following a poor first half of the 2016/17 season. Dubbed the "Yorkshire Ranieri", he matches the Italian's Leicester record in finding success one season, followed by disappointment the next.

She was 13 tons, and fifty feet in length, with a beam of nine feet, she drew five feet of water. Powered with a forty housepower Union gas engine, she had electric lighting. She could carry twenty five to fifty passengers and crew. She was brought to Hawaii as deck cargo to Oahu, Hawaii in 1903 on the schooner Rosamond arriving on 3 October 1900.
Her maiden voyage took place on 6 October under the command of Commodore Archie Young, crewed by the Young Brothers, William and Herb, (no relation to Archie). On the trip the Waterwitch cruised round the Honolulu harbor and the southeast coast of the island, before making for Pearl and back, at speeds up to 12 knots.
The Young brothers, William and Herb, had arrived on the island in January 1900 and were immediately put into quarantine for three months, due to an outbreak of the Bubonic plague in Honolulu Unable to land they immediately took on jobs as crew freighting supplies among the islands. They put their hands to any task that presented itself including salvage and repair work while waiting clearance to land. Once allowed access to Honolulu, they took on employment by Archie in April 1900 .. They continued moonlighting with their various small ventures, mainly salvage and repair, towing garbage, delivering supplies to ships; by August that year they gained a passenger license and started a bumboat service using a small five horsepower launch the Billy around the harbor, for pleasure trips, and ferrying sailors back to their ships after shore leave. All these small jobs together would form the basis of the Young Bothers company founded that year, 1900. The business proved successful enough to bring two more brothers from San Diego into the business that year and the next. The brothers went onto buy the Waterwitch in 1902, and soon won a contract for to leasing her out as the official Customs and Immigration boarding boat for the island. They completely overhauled her for the job, taking out the six pullman berths on board.
In 1900 Honolulu boasted a population of 45,000, her harbor was only capable of servicing launches. Large vessels were obliged to anchor offshore and transfer passengers and goods by small launches and boats.
On 16 May 1901 the Waterwitch and the Fearless contested
Customs service
The contract with the Customs Service began in May 1903 when she began to operate as a revenue and patrol boat taking officers out to arriving ships. She first flew the revenue flag in on 25 May, with Captain Herb Young at the helm. She would serve in this capacity for the next 28 years, often meeting up to 8 or 10 ships every day.
Her crew wore coats with two sets of buttons, one row for each, of the customs service and the other for the Immigration department.
Over the years her engine got upgraded several times, first to forty horsepower, later to fifty, and finally to one hundred. In the 1930s a member of the crew while cleaning the bilges one evening, struck a match to see if she was dry, the fumes set off an explosion, blowing her whistle onto the shore. Luckily he survived, though his arms were badly burnt.
In her last decade she acted as a pilot boat, and would on occasion take out greeters to incoming liners.
She was the first thing visitors by sea to Hawaii saw, passengers included Brother Bertram Bellinghausen who took several photographs of her in 1905. Brother Bertram's extensive photographic collection (1883-1905) is now in the Hawaii Museum.
In 1937 she is much changed from her original design, sporting new lines and a new power plant, now capable of double her original speed.

Isetsky District () is an administrative district (raion), one of the twenty-two in Tyumen Oblast, Russia. As a municipal division, it is incorporated as Isetsky Municipal District. It is located in the west of the oblast. The area of the district is . Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Isetskoye. Population: 26,061 (2010 Census); The population of Isetskoye accounts for 28.7% of the district's total population.
Geography
Isetsky District is located in the southwest of Tyumen Oblast, on the border with Kurgan Oblast and Sverdlovsk Oblast. The terrain is flat plain with a forest-steppe landscape. It is in the basin of the Iset River, which meanders from west to east through the middle of the district. The Iset meets the south-north flowing Tobol River about 20km east of the district. The administrative center is the town of Isetskoye, which is in the middle of the district at the intersection of a north-south highway ("Tyumen-Kurgan") and a west-east highway ("Yekaterinburg-Shadrinsk-Isetskoye-Yalutorovsk").
Isetsky District is 40 km south of the city of Tyumen, 260 km east of the city of Yekaterinburg, and 1,650 km east of Moscow. The area measures 60 km (north-south), 60 km (west-east); total area is 2751 km2 (about 0.003% of Tyumen Oblast).
The district is bordered on the north by Tyumensky District and Yalutorovsky District, on the east by Uporovsky District, on the south and west by Shatrovsky District of Kurgan Oblast, and on the northwest by Tugulymsky District of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
History
The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with the oldest artifacts dated to the Mesolithic (7th-8th century BCE). In fact, a notable feature of the area is the extensive series of archaeological sites that run through the Iset River area. Over 500 archaeological sites, representing Stone, Bronze and Iron Age settlements, and others through the Middle Ages, have been mapped into a historic region known collectively known as the Ingala Valley.
The first settlers from Russia arrived in 1650 as part of a military line of defensive forts, including one on the Iset River. Early activity centered on the military uses, but also an early a monastery and a prison. In the 1700s, the fertile agricultural soil attracted colonists from central Russia, and woodworking industries developed around the timber and water-power resources. The first bridge across the Iset River in the district was specially constructed in 1837 for the drive-through visit of the Grand Duke Alexander Nikolayevich (the future Alexander II of Russia).
The area was part of Tobolsk Province from 1650 to 1738, but was merged into Isetsky Orenburg Province in 1738, and then in 1782 into Yalutavorsk Province until 1923.
Isetsky District was officially formed in November 1923 as part of the Ishimsky district of the Ural Region. After a brief move to Chelyabinsk region in 1934 and then to Omsk Oblast for 1934-1944, the district was finally transferred to Tymen Oblast in 1944.

Francisco Diez Canseco Corbacho (21 March 1821 – 5 October 1884) served as Interim President of Peru for a brief period during 1872. He was the brother of General Pedro Diez Canseco.
Diez Canseco served as the second vice president from 1868 to 1872. While vice president, he had to briefly assume the presidency of Peru following the lynching of Tomás Gutiérrez. He was succeeded by Mariano Herencia Zevallos.
Biography
He was the son of Manuel José Diez Canseco Nieto and María Mercedes Corbacho Abril de Diez Canseco, belonging to the Arequipa high society of Spanish origin. He was the brother of Generals Pedro Diez Canseco and Manuel Diez Canseco, as well as Francisca Diez Canseco, wife of President Ramón Castilla.
In 1835 he entered the army as a cadet and became an assistant to General Ramón Castilla, who promoted him to second lieutenant. He accompanied Castile on his trip to Lima, when he went to meet General Felipe Santiago Salaverry, and then followed him on his flight to Chile, after the establishment of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation.
He was part of the group of Peruvian exiles in Chile. He was a member of the Cazadores Battalion, and in the Battle of Cerro Barón of 1837, he helped defeat the mutineers who assassinated Chilean Minister Diego Portales. He enlisted in the restorative expeditions and fought in the Battle of Portada de Guías and Yungay.
He served the restorative government headed by General Agustín Gamarra. He was promoted to lieutenant and assigned to the garrison of the department of Puno. Under the orders of Castila, he fought against the regenerationist revolution of Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco. He later participated in the war against Bolivia. During the Battle of Ingavi he was promoted to captain by President Gamarra, whom he then assisted during his agony in 1841. He was taken prisoner and confined in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, until the signing of the peace treaty with Bolivia, in 1842.
He returned to Peru and served the government of General Juan Crisóstomo Torrico until his defeat in the battle of Agua Santa, on October 17, 1842. He then put himself at the service of the government of General Juan Francisco de Vidal, who promoted him to sergeant major in 1843. Then he joined the constitutional revolution led by Generals Domingo Nieto and Ramón Castilla. He fought in combat over the Pampas River and in the battle of Carmen Alto, on July 22, 1844, which crowned the victory of the Constitutionalists.
In the first government of Castila, he was sent to Tacna, where he was in charge of subduing the rebellion fueled by General José Félix Iguaín, who, in agreement with Bolivian President José Ballivián, wanted to separate the Peruvian south to confederate it with Bolivia. Later, he stationed himself in Puno, in order to neutralize Bolivian attempts to attack Peru again in 1848.
Promoted to colonel in 1851, he became aide-de-camp to President José Rufino Echenique, but joined the revolution that Castilla led in Arequipa, participating throughout the campaign that concluded with the revolutionary triumph in the battle of La Palma, on the 5th January 1855.
Appointed chief of the military plaza in Lima, he was in charge of maintaining order while the naval squad, which had joined the Vivanquista revolution of 1856, raided the coast. He was also appointed Governor of the Chincha Islands, a position he held from 1857 to 1861. These islands had rich deposits of guano, which was then the main source of resources for the State, hence their importance.
Appointed prefect of Callao in 1861, the following year he became part of the corps of hostesses of President Miguel de San Román. During the brief government of his brother, in 1863, General Pedro Diez Canseco was appointed prefect of Lima, a position in which he remained at the request of President Juan Antonio Pezet.
In 1865 he was promoted to brigadier general and took command in the capital when President Pezet had to leave to face the advance of the revolution led in the south by Mariano Ignacio Prado and Pedro Diez Canseco. He tenaciously defended the Government Palace, which fell after a violent six-hour combat. Circumstances had made him face his own brother Pedro, who was inflexible, being arrested and removed from service. But then came the dictatorial government of Mariano Ignacio Prado, who, in 1867, after the victorious war against Spain, wanted to remain in power. This time, Francisco placed himself under the command of his brother, Pedro, who led the rebellion in defense of the Constitution from Arequipa, while he was conspiring in Lima. He received from his brother the appointment of political and military chief of the departments of the center, and had an important role in the fall of Prado, by taking Callao and then Lima, on January 8, 1868.
After the resignation of Prado as president, Francisco momentarily took charge of the Executive Power for fourteen days. He then handed over the command to his brother Pedro, who was legally responsible due to him being the second constitutional vice president, according to the elections of 1862, considered the last legitimate ones.
Later, he was elected second vice president of the Republic of the government headed by José Balta (1868-1872), and in such capacity, he assumed the supreme command in two brief opportunities:
Due to an illness of President Balta, from June 27 to 28, 1871.
Due to the coup d'état and subsequent killing of Balta and the lynching of Colonel Tomás Gutiérrez, on July 26, 1872, while the decision was being made on who would assume the government.
In compliance with the Constitution of 1860, he handed over the command to the first vice president, General Mariano Herencia Zevallos, on July 27, 1872, in order for him to conclude the presidential term of Colonel Balta, which ended on August 2 of the same year. And in that brief period of seven days, he was Minister of War and Navy.
Retired to private life, he requested to return to service during the war with Chile, and disciplined some reserve units. During the brief administration of Francisco García Calderón, in 1881, he was again appointed Minister of War.

Latinus (; Ancient Greek: Λατῖνος, Latînos, or Λατεῖνος, Lateînos) was a figure in both Greek and Roman mythology. He is often associated with the heroes of the Trojan War, namely Odysseus and Aeneas. Although his appearance in the Aeneid is irreconcilable with his appearance in Greek mythology, the two pictures are not so different that he cannot be seen as one character.
Greek mythology
In Hesiod's Theogony, Latinus was the son of Odysseus and Circe who ruled the Tyrrhenians, presumably the Etruscans, with his brothers Ardeas and Telegonus. According to the Byzantine author John the Lydian, Hesiod, in the Catalogue of Women, considered Latinus to be the brother of Graecus, who is described as the son of Zeus by Pandora, the daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha. He was also depicted as the son of Odysseus and Calypso.
Roman mythology
In later Roman mythology (notably Virgil's Aeneid), Latinus, or Lavinius, was a king of the Latins. He is sometimes described as the son of Faunus and Marica, and father of Lavinia with his wife, Amata. He hosted Aeneas's army of exiled Trojans and offered them the chance to reorganize their life in Old Latium. His wife Amata wished his daughter Lavinia to be betrothed to Turnus, king of the Rutuli, but Latinus and the gods insisted that he give her instead to Aeneas; consequently, Turnus declared war on Aeneas and was killed two weeks into the conflict. Ascanius, the son of Aeneas, later founded Alba Longa and was the first in a long series of kings leading to Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.
Some suggest this version is not compatible with the Greek one: the Trojan War had ended only eight years earlier, and Odysseus only met Circe a couple of months later, so any son of the pair could only be seven years old, whereas the Roman Latinus had an adult daughter by then. The Roman Latinus from the Aeneid, son of Faunus, is a completely different person from the Greek Latinus, son of Circe and Odysseus. However, given the timing and era, it is more likely that they are in fact, the same figure.
English mythology
The English once widely claimed as history, an original peopling of the isle — at the time a land only of fantastical giants — by descendants of the above-mentioned Eneas, perhaps via Latinus, and at least with Latinus as step-family of an ancestor, though even in the time of the Renaissance, a non-English audience as well at least one English writer found details of the stories less than convincing.
The island known later as Britain, was also previously known as Alba, similarity of name supporting connection to the city of Alba in Italy, said to have been built by Alcanius, son of Eneas, and third ruler of the Latins after Latinus, being either his grandson or step-grandson.
Even if one ignored obviously far-fetched elements of this foundation myth of Britain, Johannes Rastell writing in 1529 questioned, along these lines: Supposing the original Brits were descendants of a line of Latin kings — Brute the son of Silvius, son Alcanius, son of Eneas who came to the Italian peninsula from Troy — then why should such a fact have escaped record in the writings of Julius Caesar when that Roman military supreme commander had personally surveyed the lands there he had conquered for Rome by 48 BC? And indeed, why should the son Brutus have escaped from Latin histories altogether, given they did deal with Silvius and Alcanius, and 'all theyr childera & what became of them & how they endyd that succeeded them as kyngis'?
Other details he found were able to be discounted without resort to factual records, or with only very few facts needed other than everyday experience. Were the early inhabitants of Britain giants, descended from the Devil in union with 32 daughters of a king Dioclisian of Syria? To Rastell, if the devil had power to sow such seeds at the earlier time, then why not in his own time? Where were the giants today?
Other fanciful elements he reduced by logical deduction from intuitive psychological insights, for example the greatly diminished chance of 32 daughters married to 32 kings on a single day, and all cooperating to kill those 32 husbands in a single night ; or in combination with analysis of logistical realities, such as the suggested voyage of all 32 murderous widows to Britain without dispersion or diversion, over three thousand miles.
Our renaissance writer Rastell was further able to discount the likelihood of any factuality to that ancient tale, due to his failure to discover after diligent research, any authentic record of its origin or explanation as to why such record should be absent.

Frederick William Fairholt (1814 – 3 April 1866) was an English antiquary and wood-engraver.
Early life
Fairholt was born in London. His father, who was of a German family (the name was originally Fahrholz), was a tobacco manufacturer, and Frederick was at first employed in the business. He then worked as a drawing-master and later as a scene-painter. Pen and ink copies made by him of figures from William Hogarth's plates led to his being employed by Charles Knight on several of his illustrated publications.
Career
Fairholt's first published literary work was a contribution to Hone's Year-Book in 1831. His life was one of almost uninterrupted quiet labour, carried on until within a few days of death. Several works on civic pageantry and some collections of ancient unpublished songs and dialogues were edited by him for the Percy Society in 1842. In 1844, he was elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He published an edition of the dramatic works of John Lyly in 1858.
His principal works are Tobacco, its History and Association (1859); Gog and Magog (1860); Up the Nile and Home Again (1862); many articles and serials contributed to the Art Journal, some of which were afterwards separately published, as Costume in England (1846); and Dictionary of Terms in Art (1854). These works are illustrated by numerous cuts, drawn on the wood by his own hand. He also illustrated Evans's Coins of the Ancient Britons, Frederic William Madden's Jewish Coinage, Halliwell's folio Shakespeare and his Sir John Maundeville, Charles Roach Smith's Richborough, the Miscellanea Graphica of Lord Londesborough, and many other works.
Later life
Fairholt died in 1866 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.
Legacy
His books relating to Shakespeare were bequeathed to the library at Stratford-on-Avon; those on civic pageantry (between 200 and 300 volumes) to the Society of Antiquaries; his old prints and works on costume to the British Museum; his general library he desired to be sold and the proceeds devoted to the Royal Literary Fund.

The Jannayak Janta Party, abbreviated as, JJP is an Indian state-level political party in Haryana, India. JJP is a recognized state political party. JJP was founded on 9 December 2018 by Dushyant Chautala with the ideology of Devi Lal, who served as Deputy Prime Minister of India. Based on the ideology of Jat solidarity and socialism, JJP is very strong and popular in some parts of Haryana.
Formation
JJP emerged from a split in the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) which itself had been cause by infighting among the Chautala family. An INLD rally at Gohana in October 2018 had seen heckling of Abhay Chautala, a son of INLD leader Om Prakash Chautala for which Dushyant Chautala, a grandson, and his younger brother, Digvijay Chautala, were blamed.
When Dushyant and Digvijay were expelled from the INLD for allegedly permitting indiscipline at the rally, their father, Ajay Chautala, supported them and so he, too, was expelled from the INLD.
The JJP was formally launched at a rally in Jind in December 2018 by Dushyant Chautala who held a seat in the Lok Sabha of the national Parliament of India, from when he was an INLD member.
He said that the party's name was in honour of Devi Lal, a former Deputy Prime Minister of India whose supporters in Haryana refer to him as Jan Nayak, and that the party intended to follow his principles.
Dushyant's father, Ajay, absent from the Jind rally, being at that time in jail in relation to an alleged scam, as also was Om Prakash Chautala. Despite now being in opposite political factions, and claiming that the JJP was standing for values which the INLD had abandoned, Dushyant nonetheless asked supporters at the rally to chant "Long Live OP Chautala".
Abhay Chautala who was leading the INLD in the absence of Om Prakash Chautala reacted to the news by saying that "Everybody is not capable of floating a political party and then continue with it". At least three INLD MLAs, including Dushyant's mother, Naina Singh Chautala were early members of the new JJP.
JJP in their debut 2019 Haryana Legislative Assembly election won 10 seats and the party President Dushyant Chautala was appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana on 25 October 2019
Symbolism
The JJP has proposed a flag that is primarily green in colour, with a quarter in light yellow. Key is election symbol. JJP said the colours symbolise- Green was also adopted as a symbolic colour by Devi Lal, whose picture appears in the flag and Yellow symbolically represents 'Yuva Urja'.

Aleksander Eduard Kesküla ( in Saadjärve Parish, Kreis Dorpat – 17 June 1963 in Madrid, Spain) was an Estonian politician and revolutionary.
Kesküla studied politics and economics in the universities of Tartu, Berlin, Zürich, Leipzig and Bern.
In 1905, he was a Bolshevik with the pseudonym Kivi and endeavoured to create strife inside the Russian empire and, according to Elisabeth Heresch, he was working alongside the Japanese spy's, Motojiro Akashi.
In 1913 he became an Estonian nationalist and wanted to play a role in the world's political arena. In 1914-1915, he informed the German government about Lenin´s plans and intended to use Bolshevik agitation to replace the Russian empire with a number of national states. Some earlier scholarship expressed skepticism, but other research has indicated that between 200,000 - 500,000 German Reichsmark was passed to Lenin by Germany using Kesküla as a conduit.
Michael Futrell interviewed Kesküla whilst researching his book 1958-63. Here, Futrell records that although Kesküla had only minimal contact with Lenin, he nevertheless passed money to him through another Estonian, Arthur Siefeldt, who drip fed the money into Bolsheviks hands by making a series of small secret donations. Other researches claim Kesküla had given the Germans little of substance and he did not deliver any significant sums to the Bolsheviks.
In 1918, he founded the Estonian Office in Stockholm to seek the support of the Entente states for Estonian independence. He acted in such status, until the official Estonian delegation forbade him to do that. The Estonian delegation was skeptical about Kesküla and considered him a German agent.
Central in Kesküla's thought was the region of Baltic Sea. According to Kesküla's approach, Estonia had originally belonged to the Nordic region, but as a result of the German conquest in the 13th century it was included in the alien Central European cultural space. It then re-established its Nordic heritage in the 16-17th centuries and in the 18th century fell under the yoke of the even more alien Eastern European (Russian) sphere. Kesküla thought that Estonia should separate from Russia and restore its place among the Nordic countries that were becoming increasingly unified.
In his later years, Kesküla acted as the teacher of politics for several young Spanish scientists.

The National Privacy Commission, or NPC, is an independent body created under Republic Act No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, mandated to administer and implement the provisions of the Act, and to monitor and ensure compliance of the country with international standards set for data protection. It is attached to the Philippines' Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) for purposes of policy coordination, but remains independent in the performance of its functions. The Commission safeguards the fundamental human right of every individual to privacy, particularly Information privacy while ensuring the free flow of information for innovation, growth, and national development.
In order to fulfill its mandate, the commission is vested with a broad range of powers, from receiving complaints and instituting investigations on matters affecting personal data protection to compelling entities to abide by its orders in matters affecting data privacy. It also represents the Philippine Government internationally on data protection related issues. The Commission formulates and implements policies relating to the protection of personal data, including the relevant circulars and advisory guidelines, to assist organisations in understanding and complying with the Data Privacy Act. The commission also reviews organizational actions in relation to data protection rules and issue decisions or directions for compliance where necessary. It is mandated to work with relevant sector regulators in exercising its functions.
Beyond regulating data protection issues, the NPC also undertakes public and sector-specific educational and outreach activities to help organizations adopt good data protection practices and to help individuals to better understand how they may protect their own personal data from misuse.
History
The Data Privacy Act of 2012 is the first law in the Philippines which acknowledges the rights of Individuals over their Personal Data and Enforcing the responsibilities of entities who process them.
The initial definition was offered first in Republic Act 8792, Section 32 better known as the eCommerce Act of the Philippines and was formally introduced by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on its Department Administrative Order #08 – Defining Guidelines for the Protection of Personal Data in Information Private Sector. Along with the Anti-Cybercrime Bill (now RA 10175), The first draft of the law started in 2001 under the Legal and Regulatory Committee of the former Information Technology and eCommerce Council (ITECC) which is the forerunner of the Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT). It was headed by former Secretary Virgilio "Ver" Peña and the committee was chaired by Atty. Claro Parlade. It was an initiative of the Information Security and Privacy Sub-Committee chaired by Albert Dela Cruz who was the President of PHCERT together with then Anti-Computer Crime and Fraud Division Chief, Atty. Elfren Meneses of the NBI. The administrative and operational functions was provided by the Presidential Management Staff (PMS) acting as the CICT secretariat.
With rising concerns by the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) of an absence of a Data Privacy Law, Philippine Congress passed Senate Bill No. 2965 and House Bill No. 4115 on June 6, 2012. President Benigno S. Aquino III signed Republic Act No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012 on August 15, 2012. The law was influenced by the Data Protection Directive and the APEC Privacy Framework.
President Aquino appointed on March 7, 2016, Raymund Liboro as inaugural head of the commission with Damian Domingo O. Mapa and Ivy D. Patdu as inaugural deputy privacy commissioners. With fixed terms of office, they continued with their roles during the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.
After consultation with various private organizations, civil societies and a series of public hearings in Manila, Cebu and Davao, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Data Privacy Act was signed on August 24, 2016. It took effect on September 9, 2016.
In May 2016, the Commission formally investigated the Commission on Elections for the Commission on Elections data breach one of the largest security breach in government held personal data. On February 21, 2017, NPC announced that the Commission on Elections was being investigated for another security breach due to alleged theft of a computer containing personal data of voters.
The NPC also began coordinating with different sectors on privacy and data protection.
In 2016, the National Privacy Commission was accepted as a member in the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners and the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities.

VORTEX1 was the first time scientists completely researched the entire evolution of a tornado with an array of instrumentation, enabling a greater understanding of the processes involved with tornadogenesis. A violent tornado near Union City, Oklahoma was documented in its entirety by chasers of the Tornado Intercept Project (TIP) in 1973. Their visual observations led to advancement in understanding of tornado structure and life cycles.
VORTEX2 used enhanced technology that allowed scientists to improve forecasting capabilities and improve lead time on advanced warnings to residents. VORTEX2 sought to reveal how tornadoes form, how long they last and why they last that long, and what causes them to dissipate.
VORTEX1 and VORTEX2 was based on the use of large fleets of instrumented vehicles that ran on land, as well as aircraft and mobile radars. Important work on developing and coordinating mobile mesonets came from these field projects. Analysis of data collected in subsequent years led to significant advancement in understanding of supercell and tornado morphology and dynamics. The field research phase of the VORTEX2 project concluded on July 6, 2010.
VORTEX1
The VORTEX1 project sought to understand how a tornado is produced by deploying tornado experts in around 18 vehicles that were equipped with customized instruments used to measure and analyze the weather around a tornado. As noted aircraft and radar resources were also deployed for such measurements. The project directors were also interested in why some supercells, or mesocyclones within such storms, produce tornadoes while others do not. It also sought to determine why some supercells form violent tornadoes versus weak tornadoes.
The original project took place in 1994 and 1995. Several smaller studies, such as SUB-VORTEX and VORTEX-99, were conducted from 1996 to 2008. VORTEX1 documented the entire life cycle of a tornado, for the first time measuring it by significant instrumentation for the entire event. . Severe weather warnings improved after the research collected from VORTEX1, and many believe that VORTEX1 contributed to this improvement.
“An important finding from the original VORTEX experiment was that the factors responsible for causing tornadoes happen on smaller time and space scales than scientists had thought. New advances will allow for a more detailed sampling of a storm's wind, temperature, and moisture environment, and lead to a better understanding of why tornadoes form –-and how they can be more accurately predicted,” said Stephan Nelson, NSF program director for physical and dynamic meteorology.
VORTEX had the capability to fly Doppler weather radar above the tornado approximately every five minutes.
VORTEX research helped the National Weather Service (NWS) to provide tornado warnings to residents with a lead time of 13 minutes. A federal research meteorologist, Don Burgess, estimates that the "false alarms" pertaining to severe weather by the National Weather Service have declined by 10 percent.
The movie Twister was at least partially inspired by the VORTEX project.
VORTEX2
VORTEX2 was an expanded second VORTEX project, with field phases from 10 May until 13 June 2009 and 1 May until 15 June 2010. VORTEX2's goals were studying why some thunderstorms produce tornadoes while others do not, and learning about tornado structure, in order to make more accurate tornado forecasts and warnings with longer lead time. VORTEX2 was by far the largest and most ambitious tornado study ever with over 100 scientific participants from many different universities and research laboratories.
"We still do not completely understand the processes that lead to tornado formation and shape its development. We hope that VORTEX2 will provide the data we need to learn more about the development of tornadoes and in time help forecasters give people more advance warning before a tornado strikes," said Roger Wakimoto, director of the Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and a principal investigator for VORTEX2.
"Then you can get first responders to be better prepared—police, fire, medical personnel, even power companies. Now, that's not even remotely possible," said Stephan P. Nelson, a program director in the atmospheric sciences division of the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Joshua Wurman, president of the Center for Severe Weather Research (CSWR) in Boulder, Colorado proposes, "if we can increase that lead time from 13 minutes to half an hour, then the average person at home could do something different. Maybe they can seek a community shelter instead of just going into their bathtub. Maybe they can get their family to better safety if we can give them a longer warning and a more precise warning."
VORTEX2 deployed 50 vehicles customized with mobile radar, including the Doppler On Wheels (DOW) radars, SMART radars, the NOXP radar, a fleet of instrumented vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), deployable instrument arrays called Sticknet and Podnet, and mobile weather balloon launching equipment. More than 100 scientists and crew researched tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms in the "Tornado Alley" region of the United States' Great Plains between Texas and Minnesota. A number of institutions and countries were involved in the US$11.9 million project, including: the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Weather Service and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) therein, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Environment Canada, and universities across the United States and elsewhere.
The project included DOW3, DOW6, DOW7, Rapid-Scan DOW, SMART-RADARs, NOXP, UMASS-X, UMASS-W, CIRPAS and TIV 2 for their mobile radar contingent. The Doppler on Wheels were supplied by the Center for Severe Weather Research, and the SMART-Radars from the University of Oklahoma (OU). The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) supplied the NOXP radar, as well as several other radar units from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Texas Tech University (TTU). NSSL and CSWR supplied mobile mesonet fleets. Mobile radiosonde launching vehicles were provided by NSSL, NCAR, and the State University of New York at Oswego (SUNY Oswego). There were quite a few other deployable state-of-the-art instrumentation, such as Sticknets from TTU, tornado PODS from CSWR, and four disdrometers from University of Colorado CU, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
VORTEX2 technology allowed trucks with radar to be placed in and near tornadic storms and allowed continuous observations of the tornadic activity. Howard Bluestein, a meteorology professor at the University of Oklahoma said, "We will be able to distinguish between rain, hail, dust, debris, flying cows."
Additionally, photogrammetry teams, damage survey teams, unmanned aircraft, and weather balloon launching vans helped to surround the tornadoes and thunderstorms. The equipment amassed enabled three-dimensional data sets of the storms to be collected with radars and other instruments every 75 seconds (more frequently for some individual instruments), and resolution of the tornado and tornadic storm cells as close as .
Scientists met May 10 and held a class to teach the crews how to launch the tornado pods, which would have to be released within 45 seconds of notification. VORTEX2 was equipped with 12 tornado PODS, instruments mounted onto towers that measure wind velocity (i.e. speed and direction). The aim was that some of the measurements would be taken in the center of the tornado. Once the pods are deployed, the teams repeat the process at the next location until finally the teams return to the south of the tornado to retrieve the pods with the recorded data. The process is repeated. This takes place within , or 4 minutes away from the tornado itself.
The team had 24 high portable Sticknets, which can be set up at various locations around tornado storm cells to measure wind fields, provide atmospheric readings, and record acoustically the hail and precipitation.
Scientists are still seeking to refine understanding of which supercell thunderstorms that form mesocyclones will eventually produce tornadoes, and by which processes, storm-scale interactions, and within which atmospheric environments.
Updates on the progress of the project were posted on the VORTEX2 home page. The scientists also started a blog of live reports.
"Even though this field phase seems to be the most spectacular and seems like it's a lot of work, by far the majority of what we're doing is when we go back to our labs, when we work with each other, when we work with our students to try to figure out just what is it that we've collected," Wurman said. "It's going to take years to digest this data and to really get the benefit of this."Penn State University featured the public release of the initial scientific findings in the fall.
The forecasters were determining the best probability of sighting a tornado. As the trucks traveled to Clinton, Oklahoma from Childress, Texas, they found mammatus clouds, and lightning at sundown on May 13, 2009.
The project encountered its first tornado on the afternoon of June 5 when they successfully intercepted a tornado in southern Goshen County, Wyoming, which lasted for approximately 25 minutes. One of their vehicles, Probe 1, suffered hail damage during the intercept. Later that evening, embedded Weather Channel (TWC) reporter Mike Bettes reported that elements of VORTEX2 had intercepted a second tornado in Nebraska. Placement of the armada for this tornado was nearly ideal. It was surrounded for its entire life cycle, making it the most thoroughly observed tornado in history.

William Snow otherwise known as Bill or Billy was an anti-smoking activist, a co-founder of BUGA UP (Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions) and contributor to the banning of tobacco advertising and the realisation of a smoke-free environment in Australia. In addition to his anti-smoking activities, he was an avid campaigner against nuclear weapons and destruction of the environment and was a strong supporter of Aboriginal Rights. Bill died of a ruptured aorta on 8 March, 2018. He is survived by his daughter Emily and his sisters Dorothy and Joan.
Early life
Bill was born on 31 January 1938, the youngest of Alison and Lyall Snow's three children. He grew up in Drummoyne and attended Fort Street High School where he won an award for debating and graduated with the leaving certificate. Billy began work as a printer’s mechanic and rebelled against his strict Salvation Army upbringing by immersing himself in the early Rock 'n' Roll scene. After a period of National Service he took off for a decade long adventure of sailing and backpacking around the world. He sailed through SE Asia and the Mediterranean and travelled the length of the Americas, working as a printer in Japan, London and San Francisco. He met Rosemarie Gosling in London in 1964; they set off to Europe together and married in Sydney in 1967. Their daughter Emily was born in 1972. After separating from his wife Bill moved to Bundeena, a village within Sydney’s Royal National Park, in 1979.
Whilst in Bundeena Bill was contracted by the University of Sydney to print testamurs for graduating students and acquired a hand-operated letterpress printing machine to print them. This printing method was preferred because the typed letters were embossed into the paper. Bill continued to print the testamurs until the technology was superseded by laser printing in the 1990s.
Cigarette advertising and smoking
Bill Snow was one of Australia's early environmental and fresh air campaigners. When a fellow anti-smoking campaigner, Brian McBride, sued a bus driver for assaulting him with tobacco smoke on a non-smoking bus, Bill and Gayle Russell came forward in his support. This action led to the formation of the Non-Smokers Rights Movement in 1978, later to become the Non Smokers Movement of Australia.
Frustrated at the lack of action on tobacco he began to write graffiti on tobacco billboards in 1977, which were more than half the outdoor advertising at that time. In 1978 Simon Chapman, and others involved in public health who, concerned about tobacco advertising, formed a group called MOP UP (Movement Opposed to the Promotion of Unhealthy Products) but after the meeting Bill, Geoff Coleman and Ric Bolzan decided that direct action would be more effective using satire on billboards, linked by the simple words BUGA UP (Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions). The idea was that anyone could see the concept, pick up a spray can and contribute to the war against tobacco promotion and disease. A blank billboard was found, the acronym was painted and publicised with a catalogue illustrated with photographed billboards and leaflets, but the most powerful message was sprayed by people on many billboards.
Bill travelled in his van with 'BUGA UP Rules OK' painted on the front, while rainbows and dolphin motifs were painted on the sides by his partner and fellow graffitist Danielle Kluth. This mobile display helped to publicise his environmental causes. He drove around with spray cans and a bucket with paint bombs floating in it, just in case they were required. He probably re-faced more billboards than anyone else, with the possible exception of Fred Cole, but he was not one to rush a job. He could linger at a billboard for half an hour, using his printer’s eye to ensure his alterations were ‘perfect’. Needless to say, he was arrested on numerous occasions and spent time in gaol 'on principle' rather than pay a fine.
His anti-smoking actions took many forms, for example he collected cigarette butts from sacred sites and elsewhere, put them in large plastic bottles with labels like ‘Collected at Ayers Rock (Uluru) with information about how much damage they did to wildlife, and set up displays at fairs and schools to increase awareness and encourage action against tobacco and environmental pollution. He was an engaging character, though not always tactful and sometimes plain cantankerous. He would confront tobacco company salespeople and other representatives and then engage them about the error of their ways. His van was used as a 'BUGA UP Embassy' outside Leo Burnett’s (tobacco) Advertising Agency in North Sydney in 1984. In order to get rid of the 'Embassy' the Police had to impound the van but waited in vain for the registered owner, 'Philip Morris', to claim it.
Favouring preventive action at all levels, he would visit Police stations with leaflets and explain to the somewhat startled officers that BUGA UP was to be active in their area and it would be appreciated if the health activists were just allowed to get on with the job. Despite this he was arrested and spent time in gaol for his billboard graffiti, as naturally he refused to pay the fine. But the fact that this happened made BUGA UP the most radical health promotion group in the world, which served to make all other anti-tobacco actions moderate, and re-frame the debate globally. Australia was the first major country to ban tobacco advertising and the loss of legitimacy by the tobacco industry had huge implications for tobacco and health policy in Australia and worldwide.
Political activism
Bill was an avid campaigner against using nuclear energy to provide electricity and destruction of the environment. He put his sailing skills to good use in seaborne protests against nuclear armed warships from the United States sailing into Sydney Harbour.
He was a great believer in community action and was an early supporter of the Bundagen Community on the mid North Coast. Bill also spent much time with Indigenous Australians and visiting their communities. He funded a trip to England with Burnum Burnum in 1988, Australia's Bicentennial Year, when Burnum Burnum planted the Aboriginal flag on the beach near the white cliffs of Dover and claimed Britain for the Aboriginal people, as the British had done to the Aboriginal people in Australia.

Young Finnish Agrarian League of the Southern Ostrobothnia () was a party established on 21–22 October 1906 in Kauhava. It worked as an internal fraction of the Young Finnish Party () or Constitutional-Fennoman Party (). The strong man of the party was Santeri Alkio, who became elected as a member of the parliament of Finland on the list of Constitutional-Fennoman Party. He later formed his own parliamentary group of League of the Rural People of Finland. As it was obvious, that for the next elections both the Agrarian parties should be united, they formed Agrarian League in 1908. In parliamentary elections 1907 Young Finnish Agrarian League of the Southern Ostrobothnia had three candidates in the Vaasa southern electoral district, Vaasa eastern electoral district and Vaasa northern electoral district in electoral alliance with the Young Finnish Party. Santeri Alkio was elected and also two Young Finns' candidates. On 29 December 1907, the Young Finnish Agrarian League of the Southern Ostrobothnia agreed of merger with the League of the Rural People of Finland just for the elections

Leonard of Port Maurice, O.F.M., (; 20 December 1676 – 26 November 1751) was an Italian Franciscan preacher and ascetic writer.
Life
Leonard was born 19 December 1676, the son of Domenico Casanova and Anna Maria Benza. He was given the name Paul Jerome Casanova. Leonard's father was a ship captain whose family lived in Port Maurice on the northwestern coast of Italy. At 13, Leonard went to Rome to live with his uncle Agostino and study at the Jesuit Roman College. He was a good student and destined for a career in medicine. In 1697, however, he joined the Friars Minor. When he decided against medicine, his uncle disowned him. On 2 October 1697, he received the habit and took the name Brother Leonard, after a relative who had been kind to him. After making his novitiate at Ponticelli in the Sabine mountains, he completed his studies at St. Bonaventura on the Palatine at Rome.
After his ordination he remained there as lector (professor), and expected to be sent on the Chinese missions. After ordination Leonard contracted a bleeding ulcer and was sent to his hometown where there was a monastery of the Franciscan Observants (1704). After four years he was restored to health, and began to preach in Porto Maurizio and the happiness
Mission work
When Cosimo III de' Medici handed over the monastery del Monte (on San Miniato near Florence, also called Monte alle Croci) to the members of the Riformella, Leonard was sent hither under the auspices and by desire of Cosimo III, and began shortly to hold missions among the people of Tuscany. His colleagues and he practiced austerities and penances during these missions. In 1710 he founded the monastery of Icontro, on a peak in the mountains about four miles from Florence, whither he and his assistants could retire from time to time after missions, and devote themselves to spiritual renewal.
Alphonsus Liguori called Leonard "the great missionary of the 18th century". He attracted large crowds and was invited to visit and preach in many places. Leonard spent over forty years preaching retreats, Lenten sermons and parish missions throughout Italy. His missions lasted 15 to 18 days, and he often stayed an additional week to hear confessions.
In 1720 he crossed the borders of Tuscany and held his celebrated missions in Central and Southern Italy. Everywhere Leonard made conversions, and was very often obliged both in cities and country districts to preach in the open, as the churches could not contain the thousands who came to listen. Pope Clement XII and Pope Benedict XIV called him to Rome; the latter especially held him in high esteem both as a preacher and as a propagandist, and exacted a promise that he would come to Rome to die. Pope Benedict XIV appointed him to several complex diplomatic assignments. In Genoa and Corsica, in Lucca and Spoleto the citizens expected a bejeweled cardinal to represent the intentions of the pope. Instead, they were confronted by a humble, shoeless, muddy friar to confound their hostility and pride.
For a time, Leonard was the spiritual director of Maria Clementina Sobieska of Poland, the wife of James Stuart, the Old Pretender.
Leonard founded many pious societies and confraternities, and exerted himself to spread devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. He also began to insist that the concept of the Immaculate Conception of Mary be defined as a dogma of the faith.
The Franciscans had been the custodians of the Holy Sites in the Holy Land, including of the "Way of the Cross", since 1343. Though many saints were devoted to the Stations of the Cross, few if any did more to promote them than Leonard. As a Franciscan priest, he preached the Way of the Cross at missions for forty-three years and reportedly set up stations in 571 locations throughout Italy, including the Colosseum in Rome.
From May to November, 1744, he preached in Corsica, which at that time belonged to the Republic of Genoa and which was torn by party strife. In November, 1751, when he was preaching to the Bolognese, Benedict XIV called him to Rome, as already there were indications of his rapidly approaching end. The strain of his missionary labors and his mortifications had completely exhausted his body. He arrived on the evening of 26 November 1751, at his beloved monastery of St. Bonaventura on the Palatine, and expired on the same night at eleven o'clock at the age of seventy-four.
Veneration
Pope Pius VI pronounced his beatification on 19 June 1796, and Pope Pius IX his canonization on 29 June 1867. The Franciscan Order celebrates his feast on 26 November, but outside this Order it is often celebrated on 27 November.
The partly incorrupt body of Leonard is kept in the high altar of the church of St. Bonaventure monastery in Rome, where he died.
St. Leonard's Church in Boston, founded in 1873, is the first Roman Catholic Church in New England built by Italian immigrants. The church is located in the historic North End of Boston at the corner of Hanover and Prince Streets on Boston's Freedom Trail.
Works
The numerous writings of the saint consist of sermons, letters, ascetic treatises, and books of devotion for the use of the faithful and of priests, especially missionaries. The Diary (Diario) of his missions is written by the friar Diego da Firenze. A treasure for asceticism and homiletics, many of his writings have been translated into the most diverse languages and often republished: for example his Via Sacra spianata ed illuminata (the Way of the Cross simplified and explained), Il Tesoro Nascosto (on the Holy Mass); his celebrated Proponimenti, or resolutions for the attainment of higher Christian perfection. A complete edition of his works appeared first at Rome in thirteen octavo volumes (1853–84), Collezione completa delle opere di B. Leonardo da Porto Maurizio. Then another in five octavo volumes, Opere complete di S. Leonardo di Porto Maurizio (Venice, 1868–9). In English, German, etc., only single works have been issued, but a French translation of the entire set has appeared: Œuvres complètes de S. Léonard de Port-Maurice (8 vols., Paris and Tournai, 1858), and Sermons de S. Léonard de Port-Maurice (3 vols., Paris).

In Jainism, a Bhonyra ( , ) is an underground chamber with Jain images. In the past, it was used to conceal sacred idols during times of disturbance.
There are several Jain temples in Bundelkhand that existed as a concealed bhonyra chamber for several centuries before being rediscovered.
In 2001, an entire Jain temple was found beneath a mound known as Rajgadhi Timbo at Umta, Gujarat. It was apparently buried to protect it from the destruction about 800 years ago.
In some regions, it became a common practice to build a bhonyra attached to the temple. Naya Mandir in Delhi has a concealed chamber. A visitor in 1876 described it:In Delhi I found a Jain temple which was wholly unknown to Europeans well acquainted with the city; and on prosecuting inquiry, I got its priest to open to me a concealed chamber containing large statues of several of the Tirthankaras richly ornamented.The chamber has now been given the form of a cave, suitable for peaceful meditation by visiting Jain monks.
A few years ago, several Jain idols were rediscovered in a bhonyara in Sanghiji temple, Sanganer in Rajasthan.
Some of the Jain temples in Ahmedabad have an underground chamber.

Andrew Lemoncello (born 12 October 1982) is a Scottish long distance runner who competes in the 3000 metres steeplechase and the marathon events. He won a team junior gold medal at the 2001 European Cross Country Championships and won a scholarship to attend Florida State University in 2004. At Florida State he was second in the NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship in the steeplechase.
He represented Great Britain at the World Championships in Athletics in 2005 and 2007. He ran in the steeplechase event at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Lemoncello completed his debut marathon in 2010, finishing eighth in the London Marathon.
Early life
Born on 12 October 1982 in Tokyo, Japan, to an American father and Scottish mother, Lemoncello grew up in Ceres, Scotland, where he attended Madras College. While at Madras College, he broke all distance running records and still held them in 2007. After school he attended Stirling University and continued his progress at the on-campus Scottish Institute of Sport. Throughout this time he was an active runner for the Fife Athletics Club. While at Madras and Stirling he won the Scottish National Championship sixteen times, he was a member of the gold winning European Cross Country team, came third at the 2004 British University Cross Country Championships, finished eighth at the World Mountain Running Championships 2004 and was the British University Champion in the 5000 m and 10000 m events.
College athletics
Due to his outstanding performances and promise, Lemoncello gained a scholarship to study at Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee in 2004. Lemoncello was an instant success, winning the ACC performer of the week at his first outing for FSU.
In his first year at FSU he led the team to first place at the Florida Intercollegiate Championships. He also came only one second short of the university's 8000 m record. At the NCAA South Regional Championships, Lemoncello was fifth and led his college team, "The Seminoles", to first place. At the national NCAA Championships, Lemoncello was the Seminoles' top scorer, finishing 50th in the 10,000 m run.
In 2005, Lemoncello continued his outstanding form, winning the 5,000 m and 10,000 m titles at the 2005 Atlantic Coast Conference Outdoor Track Championship. He also became FSU all-time record holder for the 3,000 m steeplechase by shattering the 29-year-old record by more than 15 seconds. He also won the ACC indoor 3000 m steeplechase title. Lemoncello ended the season rated 2nd in the region and 12th in the US at the 10,000 m.
Lemoncello maintained his form in the 2006 season, breaking four more FSU records to hold five (cross country 8,000 m, indoor 5,000 m, outdoor 5,000 m, 3,000 m steeplechase and the 10,000 m). He led the field from start to finish to win the ACC 3,000 m steeplechase title. At the NCAA, Lemoncello was 12th in the 5,000 m, 5th in the 10,000 m and second in the steeplechase. Lemoncello joined the McMillanElite training group based in Flagstaff, Arizona in 2007, under the direction of coach Greg McMillan.
Lemoncello had to withdraw from the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Australia due to commitments at FSU. He had exams and the NCAA Indoor Championships in the days leading up to the games and would not have had sufficient time to acclimatise to perform at his best.
Professional
He competed in the steeplechase at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics but did not progress beyond the heats. He returned for the 2007 World Championships but again did not go past the heat stage. He made the world championship team after running 27:57 in the 10,000m at Brutus Hamilton Invitational on the track. Lemoncello ran in the senior race at the 2008 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and finished in 78th place. He represented Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics, again being knocked out in the heats of the steeplechase. He took part in the 2009 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Birmingham and was 26th. He closed the year with a 29th-place finish at the 2009 European Cross Country Championships.
Lemoncello made his marathon debut in April 2010 at the London Marathon. He finished in a time of 2:13:40 for eighth place, the first European man to cross the line. In September 2010, he competed in the Great Yorkshire Run in Sheffield and finished in fourth place with a time of 29:08 minutes.

George (, Giorgi) (ca. 1570 – 12 March 1605), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a crown prince (batonishvili) of Kakheti, a kingdom in eastern Georgia.
George was a son of Alexander II, king of Kakheti (1574–1605), who was temporarily dispossessed of the crown by his oldest son David I in 1601. George revolted against David, who managed to pacify his defiant brother through awarding him a large estate. Nevertheless, George conspired with some of the oppositionist nobles, in 1602, to murder David, but the plot collapsed and the prince fled to the neighboring Georgian ruler, George X of Kartli, who, however, surrendered him to David. George was cast in prison and released when his father, Alexander II, was able to resume his reign upon David's death. He functioned as a regent during his father's absence at the Safavid Iranian court from early 1604 to March 1605. In August 1604, he received Russian ambassadors and in October employed their armed entourage of 40 musketeers in defeating the expedition of the governors of Ganja and Shemakha against the frontier town of Zagem. On January 1, 1605, George pledged his allegiance to the Tsar of Russia. He was murdered, together with Alexander II, by his Islamized brother Constantin Khan on 12 March 1605. He was survived by two sons, Iese (died 1625) and Konstantine (fl. 1593), and a daughter, Elene, who was married to Prince Parsadan Tsitsishvili (fl. 1609–1640).

HMS Venom was a captured in the Caribbean in 1794 that Admiral Sir John Jervis purchased. The Royal Navy commissioned her as a gunbrig under the command of Lieutenant Thomas H. Wilson. In March and April 1794, she participated in the capture of Martinique, St. Lucia, and Guadeloupe. Jervis's expedition restored monarchist rule. The French counter-attacked and recaptured Guadeloupe on 2 June. Jervis and General Sir Charles Grey, the army commander, landed a force to recapture the island but the reinforced French garrison repulsed the British expedition, which withdrew.
Venom was deleted from the lists in 1799 or 1800. After commanding Venom, Wilson assumed command of the hired armed lugger Lark on 21 April 1800.
Prize money: The London Gazette published details for four tranches of prize and head money payments for Jervis's campaign. In all some 36 ships qualified: HMS Asia, Assurance, Avenger, Boyne, Beauleau, Blonde, Bull Dog, Ceres, Dromedary, Experiment, Irresistible, Inspector, Nautilus, Quebec, Roebuck, Rattlesnake, Rose, Retort, Santa Margarita, Solebay, Seaflower, Terpsichore, Ulysses, Undaunted, Vengeance, Veteran, Vesuvius, Winchelsea, Wooolwich (sic), and Zebra. So did six gunboats: Spiteful, Teazer, Tickler, Tormentor, Venom, and Vexor.
In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "17 Mar. Boat Service 1794" to all surviving claimants from the action at Fort Royal Bay, Martinique during which the boats of Venom, and others, captured the French frigate Bienvenue, and other vessels.

Antero Warelius (14 July 1821 – 16 January 1904) was a Finnish priest and writer. He had interest in the Finnish language, that he studied and contributed to promote as a national language.
Warelius was born in the village of Varila, part of the municipality of Tyrvää, Satakunta county. He served as a priest in western Finland, and between 1869 and 1900 he was vicar in Loimaa. He studied at the University of Helsinki, where he became interested in the academic ambitions of the Finnish language, and with support of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg he travelled to conduct ethnographic studies of his country, collecting his results in the article Bidrag till Finlands kännedom i etnografiskt hänseende ("Contributions to the knowledge of Finland with respect to ethnography"), published on the Suomi journal. In this work he drew the boundary between the regions populated by the Tavastian and Karelian tribes based, among other things, on a survey of the spoken dialects.
He contributed to the Swedish-Finnish dictionary compiled by Daniel Europaeus, and to the Finnish-Swedish dictionary by Elias Lönnrot. In 1847 he wrote Vekkulit ja Kekkulit, the first original comedy in Finnish language, and in 1845 he published Enon opetuksia luonnon asioista, the first Finnish textbook on natural sciences. In 1847 he co-founded a Finnish newspaper, Suometar, of which he was editor in chief for the first six months.
He died in Loimaa in 1904.

With just a few hundred inhabitants the parish lies on the A4103, the main Worcester to Hereford road, about 5 miles out of Worcester, whilst Malvern is also about 5 miles away. The parish includes Leigh, Brockamin, Leigh Sinton, Sandlin & Smith End Green. The local pronunciation is that the name rhymes with "lie".
Due largely to the significant reduction of the hop industry in the area, Leigh, like many local villages, declined in the late 20th century; it lost its pub, its police station and its railway station (with the closure of the Bromyard branch line in the 1960s).
History
Leigh's Norman church (St. Edburga's) was built in 1100 by Benedictine monks from Pershore Abbey. It is listed by English heritage as a Grade I listed building.
Leigh Court Barn is the largest and one of the oldest cruck framed barns in Britain.
A mile to the south at Castle Green are the earthwork and buried remains of a medieval motte and bailey castle.
Enclosures of common lands caused riots at Leigh in 1778, where anti-enclosure rioters attacked the physical enclosure:
Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 Leigh Parish ceased to be responsible for maintaining the poor in its parish. This responsibility was transferred to Martley Poor Law Union.
The area is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a robber named Edmund Colles, who is said to appear in a coach drawn by four fire-breathing horses.

Julius Leigh Jacobsen (28 May 1862 – 1 June 1916) was an English-born, Australian chess player who won the Australian Chess Championship in 1897 and the New South Wales Championship in 1901. He was also the tutor of William Samuel Viner, who later became the Australian Chess Champion himself.
Chess career
Jacobsen's chess prowess first came to public attention when he was fourteen, when he defeated some very strong English players, leading Wilhelm Steinitz to dub him the "boy prodigy". At the age of sixteen, he defeated Henry Bird (+4 -2 =1) in an April 1879 match. He then stopped playing chess and moved to what is now South Africa the following year; he arrived in Australia about six years later. In Australia, he resumed playing chess and became the country's national champion in 1897.
Style
An article published in the Sydney Mail in 1897, shortly after Jacobsen's victory in that year's Australian Chess Championship, stated that "His style of play is very attractive to onlookers, and his chess combinations are rapidly conceived and brilliantly executed." His obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald said that his "...style was extremely brilliant, and he played rapidly even in complicated positions."

The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) is an initiative that aims to sequence and catalog the genomes of all of Earth's currently described eukaryotic species over a period of ten years. The initiative would produce an open DNA database of biological information that provides a platform for scientific research and supports environmental and conservation initiatives. A scientific paper presenting the vision for the project was published in PNAS in April 2018, and the project officially launched November 1, 2018.
The initiative was inspired by Human Genome Project, and emerged during November 2015 meeting between Harris Lewin (UCD), Gene E. Robinson (IGB) and W. John Kress (Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History). In February 2017, at major conference on genomics and biodiversity organized by the Smithsonian Institution and BGI in Washington, D.C. was supported project's 10-year plan and organizational structure.
Summary
The project is projected to cost US$4.7 billion. It includes already ongoing projects such as i5K (insects), B10K (birds), 10KP (plants), and the Darwin Tree of Life, which aim to sequence the estimated 66,000 eukaryotic species in the United Kingdom. The project is aiming to sequence and annotate the roughly 1.5 million known eukaryotic species in three phases, with first to create "annotated chromosome-scale reference assemblies for at least one representative species of each of the ~9,000 eukaryotic taxonomic families".
According to PNAS paper, several sequencing centers are supporting the project, including BGI (China), Baylor College of Medicine (USA), Wellcome Sanger Institute (UK), Rockefeller University (US), with an additional center to be established for the project in South America by São Paulo Research Foundation. As for bio-observatories which use genomics, examples which meet the project needs are National Ecological Observatory Network, Chinese Ecological Research Network, ForestGEO, and MarineGEO. To provide insight into the feasibility and technical requirements for "planetary scale" projects such as this, the 10,000 Plant Genome Project has published a pilot "Digitalization of Ruili Botanical Garden" project sampling and sequencing 761 vascular plant specimens growing in a Botanical Garden in South West China.

In molecular biology, Small nucleolar RNA SNORA51 (also known as ACA51) is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule which functions in the biogenesis (modification) of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a 'guide RNA'.
ACA51 was originally cloned from HeLa cells and belongs to the H/ACA box class of snoRNAs as it has the predicted hairpin-hinge-hairpin-tail structure, has the conserved H/ACA-box motifs and is found associated with GAR1 protein.

Critical reception
The show has received mostly mixed reviews from critics.
Anuj Kumar of The Hindu opined "The makers have looked beyond the obvious faces that dot the OTT space these days and have brought back some lesser-seen powerhouses."
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express opined "For the second season, can we expect smoother writing, less choppy situations, and please, none of those sonorous voice-overs which feel like they were written as bumper-sticker lines to the wise?"
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the series 3 stars out of 5 and gave mixed review "Not everything in this world is by the book. One of the key characters in The Trial avers that a lawyer's job is to defend a client, not the truth."
Critic Deepa Gahlot reviewed the series for Scroll.in stating "Kajol is given annoying internal pop-philosophical monologues about love, trust, destiny and faith."
Santanu Das of Hindustan Times felt dialogues are poor and wrote "None of the performances land, even the always-reliable Sheeba Chaddha meets the fate of a poorly written boss-lady archetype."
Tushar Joshi of India Today wrote "On the flip side, the score and music sounds outdated and some of the dialogues stand out as a sore thumb in an otherwise modern setting. There is a lack of cohesiveness between the episodes and you need to be patient to make it to the point where the actual fun starts."
A critic from Rediff.com wrote "Blame it on my expectations, but we've seen far more absorbing and closer-to-life court room dramas in recent times -- the slow burn Criminal Justice, spirited Guilty Minds and, of course, the glitzy Suits being one of my all-time favourites."
Pinkvilla gave a mixed review "The Trial counts for a nice weekend binge despite few clichéd tropes and plot conveniences."

Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Lejla" written by Željko Joksimović, Fahrudin Pecikoza and Dejan Ivanović. The song was performed by the band Hari Mata Hari. Songwriter Željko Joksimović represented Serbia and Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Lane moje" where he placed second in the grand final of the competition. On 9 February 2006, the Bosnian broadcaster Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT) revealed that they had internally selected Hari Mata Hari to compete at the 2006 contest in Athens, Greece. Their song, "Lejla", was presented to the public during a show entitled BH Eurosong 2006 on 5 March 2006.
Bosnia and Herzegovina competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 18 May 2006. Performing during the show in position 22, "Lejla" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 20 May. It was later revealed that Bosnia and Herzegovina placed second out of the 23 participating countries in the semi-final with 267 points. In the final, Bosnia and Herzegovina performed in position 13 and placed third out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 229 points.
Background
Prior to the 2006 contest, Bosnia and Herzegovina had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest eleven times since its first entry in . The nation's best placing in the contest was seventh, which it achieved in 1999 with the song "Putnici" performed by Dino and Béatrice. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the , Bosnia and Herzegovina has, up to this year, managed to qualify on each occasion the nation has participated and compete in the final. Bosnia and Herzegovina's least successful result has been 22nd place, which they have achieved in .
The Bosnian national broadcaster, Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT), broadcasts the event within Bosnia and Herzegovina and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. BHRT confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest on 5 January 2006. In , the broadcaster had set up a national final to choose both the artist and song to represent the nation, while the Bosnian entry was selected through an internal selection process in . This marked the first time that both the artist and song that would represent Bosnia and Herzegovina was internally selected; previously the broadcaster had used a national final to choose the artist, song or both to compete at the contest.
Before Eurovision
Internal selection
The broadcaster directly invited composers to submit songs in one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina up until 23 January 2006. On 9 February 2006, BHRT announced that they had internally selected the band Hari Mata Hari to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in Athens. The announcement occurred during a press conference which was held at the UNITIC center of the University of Sarajevo. Hari Mata Hari were due to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 with the song "Starac i more" before its disqualification as the song was previously released in Finland in 1997. The song to be performed at the contest was also selected internally and was written by Željko Joksimović, Fahrudin Pecikoza and Dejan Ivanović. Joksimović previously represented Serbia and Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, placing second with the song "Lane moje".

Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm is a 2021 book by Robin DiAngelo on the subject of race relations in the United States. Following on from White Fragility (2018), DiAngelo criticizes behavior by white progressives as racist and discusses situations from her diversity training workshops and personal life. The book became a New York Times Best Seller, and received mixed critical reception.
Background
Author Robin DiAngelo is a white American academic. She worked for 20 years in providing diversity training for businesses. After five years in the job, she began studying for a PhD in multicultural education at the University of Washington. DiAngelo became a tenured professor at Westfield State University, working in the areas of critical discourse analysis and whiteness studies. At the time of Nice Racisms publishing, DiAngelo was an affiliate associate professor of education at the University of Washington.
Nice Racism followed on from DiAngelo's most well-known work: her third book, White Fragility (2018). It takes its name from the term "white fragility", which DiAngelo coined in 2011 to describe defensive behavior by a white person when their conception of racism is questioned. White Fragility was reviewed negatively by right-wing commentators. Among anti-racists, White Fragility received mixed reception, being seen by some as encouraging racial essentialism. In response to critics who argued that material political changes were needed rather than individual attitude changes, DiAngelo said: "I don't see that they can be separated. Institutions are not people, but people make up institutions". She also said that her generalization of white people as a category is in opposition to "the ideology of individualism" and that those who thought she was aiming to cause guilt were "willfully misreading" her books, as "guilt serves no one". Responding to criticism of Nice Racism that DiAngelo labels some actions and their opposites as both problematic, she said "in some ways you are damned if you do and damned if you don't... we just simply are not going to get this right... but again, that should never be the reason you don't struggle to get it a little more right".
Nice Racism was published on June 29, 2021, by Beacon Press. Its target audience is white progressives. DiAngelo said that White Fragility "established that racism exists" and that Nice Racism explores the less obvious question of how white progressives are affected by and engage in racism. DiAngelo said that her goal for the impact of her works was to achieve "less harm" done. Though she found analysis of racism more interesting than outlining a solution, DiAngelo said that she was always asked for an answer and that "there's constant pressure when you write a book to 'Make sure that last chapter tells people what to do'". In some of the writing, she aimed to "close all of the escape valves" that she had observed white people using as a way to avoid responsibility, such as by emphasizing the importance of an action's impact, regardless of its intention. One chapter, "Why It's Okay to Generalize About White People", was a topic that DiAngelo was compelled to "take on right away" after not exploring it sufficiently in White Fragility.
Synopsis
The book describes many experiences DiAngelo had while working in diversity training and workshops about race, as well as her personal life, including her experience of poverty in childhood. Following on from White Fragility, DiAngelo replies to criticism of the book. The book contains a study guide for navigation.
DiAngelo presents patterns of white progressives unknowingly engaging in racial harm, such as by being overeager to prove themselves anti-racist to people of color, co-opting indigenous or minority ethnic cultural traditions, or expecting people of color to educate them. The book contains a list of some things that DiAngelo believes cause racial harm.
Reception
The book was thirteenth in The New York Times Best Seller list for Hardcover Nonfiction in the week July 18, 2021. Based on independent bookstore sales in Canada, the book was seventh in the Vancouver Suns international bestsellers in the New Releases category for sales ending in the week July 3, 2021.
The Timess Clive Davis gave a negative review of the book, describing many of DiAngelo's opinions as "brutally reductive" and "clouded by a puritanical dogma", such as her criticism of white women offering sympathy to crying black women in a group session she attended. He also reviewed the prose as "robotic". However, Davis found "some worthwhile observations" about race and class in the US and sympathized with DiAngelo's childhood poverty. In a negative review for The Observer, Ashish Ghadiali reviewed DiAngelo's writing as "condescending" and filled with "deep internal contradiction", as she "assumes the role of an omniscient narrator", but describes situations in which she engages in behavior that she criticizes elsewhere "without any sense of irony or awareness".
In a mixed review, Publishers Weekly believed that DiAngelo "dismantles unconscious biases with precision" and that the book leads readers "to hold themselves more accountable", but criticized DiAngelo's defensiveness as "more exhausting than inspiring". A writer for Kirkus Reviews recommended the book as a "valuable primer" to the topic, describing it as a "pointed reminder that good intentions aren't enough" to combat racism and praising DiAngelo's comments on white people finding it difficult to be open-minded and listen to descriptions of race-related issues. Jenny Hamilton of Booklist praised that it "carefully delineates manifestations of white progressive racism and breaks down the reasons they are problematic and how to do better", approving of DiAngelo's exploration of her flawed behavior and recommending the book as a way "for white liberals to understand their role in upholding white supremacy" and "know and do better".

Manius Aemilius Lepidus was a Roman senator who was active during the Principate. He was ordinary consul in AD 11 as the colleague of Titus Statilius Taurus. Tacitus reports that Augustus, while discussing possible rivals for the Roman Emperor Tiberius on his deathbed, described him as worthy of becoming emperor (capax imperii), but "disdainful" of supreme power.
Biography
Early life
Lepidus has been assumed to be the son of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus the Younger and his wife Servilia Isaurica, but modern-day historians believe he was more likely the nephew of Lepidus the Younger. He had a sister named Aemilia Lepida.
Career
After 5 BC, but prior to acceding to the consulship, Lepidus was co-opted as an Augur. He defended his sister at her trial in AD 20. At the trial of Clutorius Priscus, he argued without success that the proposed death sentence was excessively harsh. In AD 21, he achieved the pinacle of a Senatorial career, the proconsular governorship of Asia.
Personal life
He had a daughter also called Aemilia Lepida who married Emperor Galba.

Ján Richter (born 5 October 1956) is a Slovak politician. Since 2006 he has been a member of the National Council for the SMER-SD party. From 4 April 2012 to 20 March 2020, he served as Minister of Labour, Social Affairs and Family.
Biography
After graduating from apprenticeship (secondary vocational school without matriculation) in 1973 he worked as a technical and economic worker in the company CALEX Zlaté Moravce until 1987. At Calex he was an active member and chairman of the Socialist Youth Union in and at the same time, since 1975, a candidate of the Communist Party of Slovakia. In addition to his work, he graduated from the Evening University of Marxism–Leninism (VUML), thanks to which he was able to work as a worker of the District Committee of the Communist Party of Slovakia (OV KSS) in Nitra.
In the 1990s he worked as a technical and economic worker and later as a tradesman and manager. In 1998 he became the central secretary of the SDĽ. Between 1999 and 2007 he completed his bachelor's and master's studies at the Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica and eventually obtained a doctorate in law. However, there is some confusion as to how he obtained his bachelor's degree. For example, he did not even remember the title of his thesis in front of journalists. In 2005, he became the political secretary of the Smer-SD party. Since 2006, he has been a member of the National Council of the Slovak Republic for the Smer-SD party.
Political career
Since 2012 he has been the Minister of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic.
On 11 June 2013, around noon, he was injured in a traffic accident involving a service vehicle on the R1 road near the village of Pata. The car skidded during heavy rain and went off the road. Ján Richter was not wearing a seatbelt during the accident and suffered spinal injuries (second cervical vertebra) and fractured ribs, from which he recovered for several weeks.
On 7 September 2017, the second dismissal of Minister Richter took place. Before the meeting, Prime Minister Fico said that if the SNS voted against Richter, the government would fall. In the end, Richter received 65 votes, 61 MPs voted against and 14 abstained. He therefore retained his post. In April 2017, 57 MPs were in favour of his departure, 68 were against, and two did not vote. The reason for the dismissals was the case of the Galanta resocialization facility Čistý den (English: Clean Day), in the investigation of which Richter was supposed to have failed as a minister. The reason for the dismissals was the case of the Galanta resocialization facility Čistý den, in which Richter had failed as a minister.
The government of Petro Pellegrini, in which Ján Richter also served, resigned on 20 March 2020. A new government was formed after the February elections.

This is a summary of 1985 in music in the United Kingdom, including the official charts from that year.
Summary
The biggest British musical event of 1985 was the Live Aid concert in London's Wembley Stadium on 13 July. Held to follow up the previous year's charity record "Do They Know It's Christmas?", the biggest-selling single ever at the time, popular acts such as The Who, U2 and Queen performed in front of an estimated audience of 1.9 billion viewers. It raised £150 million to help famine in Ethiopia, and a similar event would happen 20 years later in 2005, with Live 8.
After the huge success of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?", several more charity songs reached number 1 this year. USA for Africa, inspired by Band Aid, released "We Are the World", a song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, while David Bowie and Mick Jagger released a cover of "Dancing in the Street", the music video being premiered at Live Aid and all proceeds going to the charity. In May, a fire at a football stadium in Bradford killed 56 people, and supergroup The Crowd released a charity cover of popular football anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" in tribute.
British rock band Dire Straits released their album Brothers in Arms in May, one of the first ever albums to be released on compact disc and the format's first million-seller. It went on to become the UK's best-selling album of the entire decade and remains one of the top ten best-selling albums of all time in the UK. Four singles were released from the album, including the UK number 4 hit and US number 1 "Money for Nothing", which referenced American music channel MTV and had a groundbreaking video featuring early computer-generated imagery. When a European version of MTV launched in 1987, it was the first video ever played on the channel.
Jennifer Rush entered the top 75 in June with the power ballad "The Power of Love", which remained in the chart for months without entering the top 40. When it finally did in September, it quickly hit number 1, where it remained for five weeks and was the biggest selling single of the year. It sold over a million copies, however it would be the last single of the decade to do so, and there would not be another million-seller until 1991.
Many songs this year competed for the Christmas number one single, and the entire top 3 from 1984 re-entered the chart this year; Paul McCartney's "We All Stand Together" at number 32, Wham!'s "Last Christmas" at number 6, and Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" at number 3. There were also attempts from Bruce Springsteen with a cover of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town", and ventriloquist Keith Harris released a cover of "White Christmas" with his green puppet Orville the Duck.
However, the Christmas number one went to Shakin' Stevens with the song "Merry Christmas Everyone". It had been intended to be released in 1984, but was kept back a year due to the Band Aid charity single. Still a widely known Christmas song in the 21st century, it re-entered the chart in Christmas 2007 on downloads alone, at number 22.
John Rutter, hitherto best known for his popular modern carols, acknowledged his classical roots with his Requiem, which was premièred in October in Sacramento, California. Less than eight months earlier, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem had its première in New York. Paul Miles-Kingston, the boy soprano who won a silver disc for his recording of the "Pie Jesu" from that work, became Head Chorister of Winchester Cathedral in the same year. The prolific Peter Maxwell Davies (who had moved to Orkney in 1971) produced one of his most popular works, An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise, notable for featuring the bagpipes as a lead instrument, as well as the Symphony No 3, which like its predecessors shows the influence of Sibelius. Veteran Welsh composer Daniel Jones, produced his 12th symphony, at the age of 73, whilst 80-year-old Michael Tippett began work on his last opera, New Year.

Mayer started playing football in Schalke 04's academy before signing with VfL Bochum in 2014, where he scored once in 26 appearances in the Under 17 Bundesliga and then 22 appearances in the Under 19 Bundesliga. In 2016, he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach's under-19s, and from the 2017–18 season on, he predominantly played for Borussia's under-23s.
He first appeared in the first-team squad in the Rhineland derby between 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach on 14 January 2018, remaining on the bench in his team's 2–1 defeat. Mayer made his professional debut on 1 April 2018 in the Bundesliga game against Mainz 05, coming on as a substitute for the injured Nico Elvedi in the 72nd minute. Several serious injuries set the centre-back back, including two cruciate ligament ruptures.
On 1 June 2018, Mayer signed his first professional contract with Mönchengladbach.
Roda JC
Prior to the 2021–22 campaign, Mayer moved to the Netherlands on a free transfer to second-division club Roda JC, signing a one-year deal until 2022. Shortly after signing, he suffered a serious injury in practice, sidelining him for the entire season.
Mayer made his competitive debut for Roda on 5 August 2022, the first matchday of the 2022–23 season, replacing Bryan Limbombe in the 91st minute of a 2–0 away victory against Dordrecht at the Krommedijk.
1. FC Bocholt
On 23 May 2023, Mayer signed a one-year contract with Regionalliga West club 1. FC Bocholt. Upon signing, new Bocholt manager Dietmar Hirsch expressed his pleasure with the signing: "With Florian, we gain a highly trained, physically strong centre-back. He made a name for himself at Borussia Mönchengladbach but was unfortunately hindered by injuries. However, he has been fit for over a year now and has demonstrated his excellence in the second-tier Dutch league. Flo will be a valuable asset to us both on and off the field, adding stability to our defense. I'm certain that he will bring us a lot of joy."
Mayer made his debut for the club on 29 July, the first matchday of the season, replacing an injured Jarno Janssen in the 36th minute of a 5–2 away victory against Schalke 04 II.
International career
Mayer is a former Germany youth international, having made one appearance each for the national under-19 and under-20 teams.

The idea for the name and logo comes from the astronomical term Apoapsis: An apsis (Greek apsis) is the point of greatest or least distance of a body from one of the foci of its elliptical orbit. The point of farthest excursion is called the Apoapsis (Greek apó, “from”). It’s actually the point in an orbit farthest from the body being orbited.

Florence Morse Kingsley (July 14, 1859November 7, 1937) was an American author of popular and religious fiction.
Early life
Florence Morse Kingsley was born in Poe, Medina County, Ohio, to artists Eleanor Ecob and Jonathan Bradley Morse. Florence grew up in Brecksville Township, Ohio, where her parents were educators in the local school district.
Personal life
Florence Morse was a student at Wellesley College from 1876 to 1879. However, she had to leave before graduating because of a severe eye problem.
She married Reverend Charles Rawson Kingsley, son of Frances Elizabeth Rawson and Charles Clark Kingsley on July 12, 1882 in Utica, New York. Dr. Charles and Mrs Florence Kingsley had five children: Charles Rawson Kingsley, Jr., Donald Morse Kingsley, Grace Ecob Kingsley, James Morse Kingsley, and John Bradley Kingsley.
Professional life
Florence Morse Kingsley was a contemporary of fellow writer Lew Wallace, the author of Ben-Hur. The influence of her early Wellesley days were captured in her books:
The Hired Baby

To the Highest Bidder
The Singular Miss Smith
When Kingsley was thirty-five, a publisher held a writing competition to obtain the best manuscript that would inspire a child's faith for Christ. It was in this contest that Florence Kingsley submitted her manuscript for Titus: A Comrade of the Cross. In six weeks, 200,000 copies had been printed to meet demand. She later published two other works of Christian fiction: the sequel to her original entitled Stephen: A Soldier of the Cross, and the epic tale The Cross Triumphant.
Kingsley was featured in, and a contributing writer to, the Ladies' Home Journal.

Rezina is a city in Moldova and the capital of Rezina District. Three villages are administered by the city: Boşerniţa, Ciorna and Stohnaia.
Geography
In the northeastern part of Moldova, as far as 98 km from Chișinău, the town of Rezina is situated on three successive terraces formed by the picturesque right bank of the Dniester. The lowest terrace (along the Dniester) houses the older town, the second one (on the hill slope) contains buildings constructed in the 1950-60s, while the upper terrace is the seat of the new town constructed in the 1970-90s. The town is 3 km from the Rîbnița railway station and 6 km from that of Mateuţi. The republican highway Orhei – Rîbnița is going through the town.
History
Archaeological monuments prove the fact that first settlements appeared in the area 40-10 millennia ago. The Indo-European period (5000–3000 BC) witnessed the settlement of the Thracians (Geto-Dacians in particular) here. In 1946–1947, on Rezina's western outskirts (near the road to Echimăuţi) scientists discovered an ancient site founded by the Geto-Dacians in the 4–3rd centuries BC. It was built on a small promontory at the merger of two depressions and was 50 m long and 100 m wide. Regrettably, the site was heavily damaged by construction works on a cattle-breeding farm and a repair station for agricultural machines. The area needs further excavations in order to establish the period and causes of population destruction.
Its seal was approved on 10 September 1936.
The formation of the Roman province of Dacia had a special impact upon the lives of our ancestors. The lands of the future Rezina were not included in the Roman province and were inhabited by free Dacians. However, the close vicinity of the Romans influenced the local Geto-Dacians who, on a line with Roman provinces' inhabitants, were Romanized by having apprehended many traits of the Roman material culture and traditions, the Latin language and script, and were converted to Christianity. Since the evacuation of the Romans in 271 AD and until the 14th century, the land was swept by all kind of migrating peoples. However, the local population withstood all the adversities of the migration period and retained its Roman character. Small rural settlements numbered about 10–15 or more dwe-Uings usually inhabited by 45–50 persons tied by family relations. The favourable natural conditions of the area created all the prerequisites of normal life. Fertile soils were conducive to the development of agriculture and cattlebreeding. Dniester waters and dense forests were the two other factors favouring the establishment of the future Rezina in the late 14 – early 15th centuries.
Among Sfatul Țării members there were some Rezina locals: Vasile Bârcă and Pavel Cocârlă from Ignăţei, Elefterie Sinicliu from Echimăuţi, Nicolae Checerul Cuş from Stohnaia. In 1920, there were 749 houses and 4,320 inhabitants in Rezina. Economic units and public facilities included: 1 landowners estate, 1 agricultural cooperation, 3 quarries, a beer brewery, a tannery, 3 water- and 1 steam-mills, a primary school, a lyceum, a vocational school, some Jewish synagogues, 10 taverns, a cinema, 2 banks, a drug-store and a hospital with 3 doctors.

De Brevitate Vitae () is a moral essay written by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, sometime around the year 49 AD, to his father-in-law Paulinus. The philosopher brings up many Stoic principles on the nature of time, namely that people waste much of it in meaningless pursuits. According to the essay, nature gives people enough time to do what is really important and the individual must allot it properly. In general, time is best used by living in the present moment in pursuit of the intentional, purposeful life.
Similar ideas can be found in Seneca's treatise De Otio (On Leisure) and discussion of these themes can often be found in his Letters to Lucilius (letter 49, 101, etc.).
Date and addressee
The work is addressed to a man called Paulinus—probably Pompeius Paulinus, a knight of Arelate—and is usually dated to around 49 AD. It is clear from chapters 18 and 19 of De Brevitate Vitae that Paulinus was praefectus annonae, the official who superintended the grain supply of Rome, and was, therefore, a man of importance. He was likely a near relative of Seneca's wife, Pompeia Paulina, and quite plausibly her father. He is also thought to be the father of another Pompeius Paulinus, who held high public posts under Nero (Pliny, Nat. Hist. xxxiii. 143; Tacitus, Annals, xiii. 53. 2; xv. 18. 4).
As for the date of composition, it must have been after the death of Caligula (41 AD), which Seneca mentions in §18.5. Furthermore, there are two known periods when Paulinus could have served as praefectus annonae, 48–55 and 62–71 AD, and scholars prefer the earlier period. A date of 49 AD has previously been suggested because Seneca writes in §13.8 "that Sulla was the last of the Romans who extended the pomerium" (the boundary of Rome). Since Claudius extended this in 49/50 AD, it would have been written before this. However Miriam Griffin has argued that Seneca is quoting a pedant who is asserting that Claudius' extension was illegal, which would mean that Seneca was writing after this date. Griffin has suggested that Seneca wrote De Brevitate Vitae as an excuse for Paulinus to retire early in 55 AD.
Contents
In chapter 1 Seneca counters the complaint that life is too short with the view that life is long enough if well-managed. Chapters 2 to 9 survey the many ways in which life is squandered and time frittered away by those people (occupati) engrossed in pointless pursuits. Chapters 10 to 17 contrast the philosophical approach to leisure (otium) with the deluded common approach. This culminates in chapters 18 to 20 showing the emancipation of the wise, who can soar above the lives of others mired in endless preoccupation.
Topics
After the introduction (§1), Seneca reviews (§2–3) the distractions which make life seem short, and explains that people are great wasters of time. He then offers (§4–6) three examples of famous Romans (Augustus, Cicero and Livius Drusus) who, in various ways, were victims of the engrossed life. He explains (§7–8) that the engrossed do not know how to live or have awareness, and that they waste time because they do not know its value. One should purposefully live for the moment (§9), because tomorrow will be too late. In contrast (§10) the lives of the engrossed seem so short to them because they are constrained to the fleeting present, and recollect the past in pain. They desperately cling on to life (§11) because they haven't lived, unlike the wise, who are always ready to leave life behind. The engrossed include those who live in leisure and luxury (§12), and Seneca explains (§13) that even those who devote themselves to scholarship are wasting their time if their efforts are directed to no end. Accordingly, (§14–15) only those who dedicate their time properly truly live, becoming equal with the great minds of the past, allowing the mind of the sage to even transcend time, like a god. The engrossed, on the other hand, (§16–17) are prey to fidgety and contradictory moods, and their joys and pleasures are bitter with the sense of precariousness. Finally (§18–19) Seneca exhorts Paulinus to abandon public occupations and adopt the contemplative life of the wise, free from the passions. This is contrasted (§20) with the suffering of the engrossed: they die without having ever lived.
Themes
In the treatise Seneca argues that we waste so much time because we do not properly value it. We expend great effort in protecting other valuables such as money and property, but because time appears intangible, we allow others to occupy it and take time away from us. Wise people, on the other hand, understand that time is the most valuable of all resources, and with effort can free themselves from external control to engage in meaningful introspection and create an intentional life.
Seneca urges his readers to live in the present, and adapt themselves to a purposeful life in agreement with nature. Only by doing so, can one then truly unlock both past and future. The completeness of each present moment allows one's awareness to expand to the equal of that of the universe, and achieve true virtue and happiness.
The statements which urge Paulinus to retire from public life are in notable contrast to Seneca's advice in his De Tranquillitate Animi (to his friend Annaeus Serenus) to seek public employments in order to render life attractive. However, in his related treatise, De Otio, Seneca makes the point that there is no inconsistency, and that one can serve the greater community in either or both roles.

Indian Summer (Polish: Babie lato) is an 1875 oil painting by Polish Realist painter Józef Chełmoński. It is considered one of the artist's most acclaimed works and is currently displayed at the National Museum in Warsaw, Poland.
Description
The painting depicts a young barefoot Ukrainian peasant woman lying in the middle of a pasture and lifting her right hand in which she holds threads of gossamer. She wears a white skirt and shirt. A yellow headscarf lying under her head serves as a contrast and brightens the central part of the composition. The horizon line is placed near the middle of the painting. The sunlight, dry grass and a cloudy sky evoke an aura of a calm September afternoon. On the left, the background portrays a herd of cattle and figures of peasants seen from the distance as well as a black dog sitting and looking in their direction. The painting is dominated by soft shades of brown and grey colours, which emphasizes the atmosphere of Indian summer.
Analysis
The artist painted Indian Summer in 1875 in Warsaw after his recent journey to Ukraine. Chełmoński became fascinated with the observation of rural life and its daily rhythms, which are dictated by nature. When he first exhibited his work at the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, it caused controversy. Some of the viewers and the critics were appalled by the fact that he portrayed a dirty and barefoot peasant woman wearing simple clothes. The scene depicted in the painting was perceived as too realistic. It started to receive proper recognition only after several years.
The painting is an example of a naturalistic brand of Polish Realism. It rejects the consolidated conventions of representation, the academy and its norms and focuses on capturing authenticity based on empirical observation. Indian Summer was meant by Chełmoński to represent the power of the countryside and the vitality of its inhabitants. In 1894, the painting was purchased by art collector Ignacy Korwin-Milewski and in 1929 it was acquired the National Museum in Warsaw. Today, it remains one of the most popular and most frequently reproduced works of art in Poland.

The Dick Emery Show is a British sketch comedy show starring Dick Emery. It was broadcast on the BBC from 1963 to 1981. It was directed and produced by Harold Snoad. The show was broadcast over 18 series with 166 episodes. The show experienced sustained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. The BBC described the show as featuring 'a vivid cast of comic grotesques'.
Frequent performers included Pat Coombs, Victor Maddern, Deryck Guyler, Roy Kinnear, Joan Sims and Josephine Tewson.
The principal writers of the programme were David Cummings, John Singer, and John Warren. Additional contributions were by David Nobbs and Peter Tinniswood. Other writers included Dick Clement, Barry Cryer, Selma Diamond, John Esmonde, Marty Feldman, Lucille Kallen, Bob Larbey and Harold Pinter. The American comedy writers Mel Brooks and Mel Tolkin contributed sketches in the early years of the show. The nature of the show with its rapid sketches was initially inspired by the American sketch show Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar that was broadcast between 1950 and 1954 on NBC. Emery later developed his own characters for sketches.
The show became anachronistic with the advent of the 1980s, and has subsequently been perceived as homophobic, racist, and sexist. In an appraisal of The Dick Emery Show the BBC wrote that none of the show's sketches would 'seem out of place' on the 2000's BBC sketch show Little Britain.
Peri Bradley critiqued the show in the chapter "The Politics of Camp" in British Culture and Society in the 1970s: The Lost Decade. Bradley examined how camp could "operate as a political and liberating force" in the 1970s; and felt that Emery's characters "comprised representations [which] instigated" a "transformation of consciousness" as described by the gender theorist Judith Butler.
Out-takes of corpsing from the series were subsequently included in the show in a section called 'The Comedy of Errors'.
Characters
Characters portrayed by Emery included: Bovver Boy, a hapless skinhead whose father was played by Roy Kinnear; the camp and cheerful Clarence; First World War veteran Lampwick; and Mandy, a 'very friendly' middle-aged blonde bombshell. Some other characters were College (an intellectual tramp); the 'menopausal would-be-maneater' Hetty; and Ton-up Boy, the biker.
Hetty and Mandy were both played by Emery in drag.
Vox pops
Contrived vox pops with the show's characters were a notable feature; this would later be featured in the shows of Fry and Laurie. The format was developed by David Cummings and the interviewer was played by Gordon Clyde. Each character played by Emery would be asked the same question by the interviewer. The vox pops that featured Mandy, a 'very friendly blonde bombshell', would end with her perceiving a double entendre in the innocuous question of the reporter and then after giving them a 'friendly but over-forceful push' and saying her catchphrase, "Ooh, you are awful, but I like you". The popularity of Mandy's catchphrase would see it included in the Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations, described as 'Mandy's habitual protest'.
Home Media
An 85 minute compilation titled Comedy Greats: Dick Emery containing the very best sketches from The Dick Emery Show was released on UK PAL VHS by BBC Video on 11 October 1999.
This was re-released on Region 2 DVD on 11 July 2005 by 2 Entertain Video BBC Studios titled: The Best of Dick Emery.

Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) also formerly known as the Association of Thai Industries (ATI), came into existence on 13 November 1967, and was upgraded on 29 December 1987. It was a transformed body of ATI, which was created in 1967. FTI is a private sector organisation that brings together industrial leaders to promote Thailand's economic development. The main objectives of FTI are to represent Thai manufacturers at both national and international levels, to help promote and develop industrial enterprises, to work with the government in setting up national policies, and to offer consulting services to members.
FTI cooperates with the government to mobilize Thai industries to reach international markets. It acts as a "matchmaker" between foreign industrialists and Thai resources which combine the financial strength, planning ability, and persuasive power of Thailand's industrialists.

The people who were found murdered in Carolina were identified by Puerto Rico's police as 27-year-old Eric Johan Batista Trinidad Navarro, 18-year-old Dartaneon Pablo Figueroa Navarro, and 15-year-old Iván Alfonso Morales Rivera, while the two young women found dead in Loíza were identified as 13-year-old Nahia Paola Ramos López and her best friend, 15-year-old Tanaisha Michelle De Jesús Curet. Police believe that, while the five bodies were found in different cities, the murders are related.
Before the murders
Nahia Ramos went to visit her friend Tanaisha De Jesús on July 24 and to stay at her friend's house. Sometime after Tanaisha's mom, Maribel Curet, went to sleep, the two girls left the house. Tanaisha De Jesús had recently composed a poster which she gave Nahia, asking her on it to be her best friend. Nahia was about to turn 14 years old on Friday, July 28th. Nahia wrote "yes" as an answer on the poster and circled her answer with a heart drawing. This happened the day before their murders.
Meanwhile, Iván Morales was a suspect of and had been interrogated as part of an investigation concerning an earlier massacre that had taken place at El Campesino, a local business in Guayama, where three people had died. He was also suspected of four carjackings that had taken place recently in the southern city of Ponce.
The previous Sunday, a Toyota Tacoma vehicle was stolen from a businessman in Ponce. Police identified the vehicle in which the two young girls were found as the one that was reported stolen.
Murders
The three males were murdered in Carolina, while the two females were taken to the Loíza area of Piñones, near Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, and were killed there. The two females were found inside the stolen Toyota Tacoma.
Police have linked the males' murders with those of the females, because Tanaisha's mom contacted her son and asked him to call Tanaisha. When Tanaisha's phone rang, it was answered by a man who said he was in Carolina, and the police found the three males' bodies very close to where the call was answered.
Investigation
Coronel Roberto Rivera of the Puerto Rico police declared that the five deaths are related. Agent Torres of the Carolina homicides division and prosecutor José Carrasquillo are in charge of the investigation.
Reactions
Pedro Pierluisi, the governor of Puerto Rico, (who lost a brother to murder) made a statement about the crimes saying that many issues need to be addressed to get to the root of the problem of crime in Puerto Rico.

Lori McNeil (born December 18, 1963) is an American tennis coach and former top 10 player. McNeil was a singles semifinalist at the US Open in 1987 and Wimbledon in 1994, a women's doubles finalist at the Australian Open in 1987 with Zina Garrison and French Open mixed-doubles winner in 1988 with Jorge Lozano.
Personal
McNeil was born the youngest of four siblings to mother Dorothy and father Charlie McNeil, who played professional football with the San Diego Chargers during the 1960s. Moving from San Diego to Houston, McNeil developed her tennis skills at MacGregor Park playground, a public facility in the Third Ward district. It was there she became close childhood friends with fellow future professional tennis player, Zina Garrison.
Career
Lori McNeil attended Oklahoma State University for two years and played tennis for the Cowgirls, reaching the 1983 NCAA quarterfinals (losing to eventual champion Beth Herr from USC).
McNeil played on the WTA Tour for 19 years from 1983–2002. She won a total of ten singles titles and 33 doubles titles during her career. Her career-high world rankings were No. 9 in singles (in 1988) and No. 4 in doubles (in 1987).
In 1987, McNeil was awarded the WTA Most Improved Player of the Year.
McNeil is perhaps best remembered for her results against Steffi Graf. In 1992, she defeated Graf 7–6, 6–4 in the first round of the WTA Tour Championships, marking the first time since 1985 that Graf had lost in the opening round of a tournament. Then, in 1994, McNeil beat Graf 7–5, 7–6 in the first round at Wimbledon, the first time in Grand Slam history that a defending champion had suffered a first-round loss.
That year, McNeil went on to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon before losing to eventual-champion Conchita Martínez, 6–3, 2–6, 8–10. This equalled McNeil's best-ever Grand Slam singles performance – she also reached the semifinals at the US Open in 1987 (after defeating six-time champion Chris Evert in the quarterfinals) where she lost to Graf, 6–4, 2–6, 4–6.
Despite never winning a women's doubles Grand Slam title, she reached the quarterfinal stage or better on 22 occasions at Grand Slam level, and won multiple WTA Tour doubles titles with many of the leading doubles players of the era, including Martina Navratilova, Gigi Fernández, Rennae Stubbs, Katrina Adams, Zina Garrison and Helena Suková.
From 2001-2004, McNeil coached former top-5 player Amanda Coetzer. Partnering together, coach and student reached the doubles quarterfinals of the 2002 Australian Open. In 2004 and 2008, McNeil was also Assistant Coach to the US Olympic tennis teams.
In 2006, McNeil was inducted into the ITA Hall of Fame.

George Lawson (14 August 1880 – 25 November 1966) was an Australian trade union official and politician.
Lawson was born in South Pine River, near Caboolture, Queensland, and educated at Warner State School. He fought in the Boer War in South Africa with the 5th (Queensland Imperial Bushmen) Contingent in 1901–02 and was mentioned in dispatches. He married Rebecca Jane Buchanan in 1907 and they had two sons but she died in 1918. In 1907, he helped found the Brisbane Trolleymen, Draymen and Carter's Union and was elected its secretary in 1908. The union later became the Carters and Drivers' Union and in 1912 he was elected its general secretary, a position he held for almost twenty years. He was president of the Trades and Labour Council of Queensland in 1924 and 1927. At the time of his election to the House of Representatives, he was secretary of the Road Transport Workers' Union.
Political career
Lawson was elected an alderman of the Windsor Town Council from 1916 to 1921 and appointed as an Australian Labor Party member of the Queensland Legislative Council in 1919, and helped bring about its abolition in 1922. He was elected the member for Brisbane in the Australian House of Representatives in the 1931 elections. In 1935 he married Kathleen Lally. With the election of the Curtin government in 1941 he became Minister for Transport, but lost his position in the ministry after the 1943 elections. After Labor's defeat in 1949 elections, he was a strong supporter of H. V. Evatt and opponent of both communists and groupers.
Lawson retired from parliament in 1961. He died at his home in the Brisbane suburb of Ashgrove in 1966 and was buried in Pinnaroo Cemetery.
