Mary Jane McCaffree Monroe (née Fleming; October 28, 1911 – July 23, 2018) was a White House Social Secretary during the Eisenhower administration and a press and personal secretary for First Lady Mamie Eisenhower. She also served as a protocol specialist in the office of the Chief of Protocol and co-wrote a book on the subject.
Early years
Born Mary Jane Fleming in New York City, she worked as a secretary for different executives of the 1939 New York World's Fair and as a secretary at a steel company and a distillery. In 1952, she became office manager for the Citizens for Eisenhower headquarters and began serving as Mamie Eisenhower's personal secretary in the 1952 presidential campaign.
The Eisenhowers
When Dwight D. Eisenhower won the presidential election, McCaffree went with the Eisenhowers to the White House and remained there for the duration of both of his terms (1953–1961). She was not only his social secretary, but she remained the now-First Lady's private and press secretary, helping her to answer nearly 1,000 letters a month and dozens of daily requests for public appearances.
First Ladies in the past have had social secretaries and clerks, but the positions were never recognized as part of the institutionalized presidency, until McCaffree was listed in the Congressional Directory's top White House personnel as "Acting Secretary to the President's Wife."
Protocol specialist
Ten years after Eisenhower's presidency, McCaffree was a protocol specialist in the Office of the Chief of Protocol, part of the State Department, from 1971 to 1975. This led to her co-writing a book, titled Protocol: The Complete Handbook of Diplomatic, Official and Social Usage (), in 1977.
Personal life
While working at the White House, she married Floyd McCaffree, a history and political science professor, who died in 1963. Her second husband, Harry Monroe Jr., an auto dealer, died in 2004.
Mary Jane died at age 106 in Juno Beach, Florida, on July 23, 2018.

Van Buren High School is a public high school in Van Buren, Ohio, the only high school in the Van Buren Local Schools district. They are a member of the Blanchard Valley Conference.
History
The first schoolhouse in Allen Township was a small log structure built in 1836. It was built of round logs covered with a clapboard roof, had greased paper windows and a huge fireplace at one end. About 1870 a two-room brick building was built on East Market Street. This building was later condemned and a four-room school was erected and used till 1917 when the schools of Allen Township were centralized and the present school, Van Buren High School, was erected.
In the fall of 2017 Van Buren Schools had a centennial celebration of the 1917 addition still in use today.

Along with the choir, Van Buren is home of the decorated show choir group "The Association," which competed in class C. Although The Association is no longer a competitive ensemble, they still remain quite active in the community and now perform multiple shows each year including: Fall Show, Christmas Show, and their annual Spring Cabaret. In the fall of 2018, an a cappella group known as Knightlife Acappella (KLA) was created by their choir director, Will Baughman. The ensemble is composed of The Association's 17 most elite musicians.
The Van Buren Black Knight Marching Band on November 6, 2009, traveled to Dublin, OH to compete in State Marching Band Finals for the first time in Van Buren history. They received a "II" (Excellent) rating and missed a "I" (Superior) rating by one point. The BKMB has since competed at State Finals five times: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Serge Mongeau (born March 24, 1937 in Montreal, Quebec) is a physician, writer, publisher and politician from Quebec. He is one of the best-known Canadian advocates of simple living.
Biography
Serge Mongeau studied medicine at Université de Montréal. After practising general medicine for two years, he went back to U. de M. and obtained a master in social work, option community organization. In the early 1960s, Mongeau was one of the few resource persons in sexology in Quebec. In 1965, he became president of the Family Planning Association of Montréal and called on the Catholic church to develop a more modernist approach to contraception. Dr. Mongeau was the director of the Family Planning Centre (Centre de planification familiale du Québec), a multi-disciplinary centre in Montréal. In 1967–1970, he published Cours de sexologie, a five-volume work about sexology written for the general public, which was a best-seller. By 1970, he had published eleven books at Jacques Hébert's Éditions du Jour. He also wrote for the left-leaning weekly newspaper Québec-Presse.
In politics, he became a member of the Parti québécois. During the 1970 Quebec general election, after alleged irregularities in the nomination of the Parti québécois candidate J.-Y. Lefebvre in the riding of Taillon, Mongeau ran as an independent candidate in the riding and obtained 7.6% of the votes. In June 1970 he participated in the founding of the Movement for the defense of political prisoners. During the time of the October Crisis, when the War Measures Act was decreed by the government of Pierre Trudeau, Dr. Mongeau, while on his way to work at the Family Planning Centre on the morning of October 16, 1970, was intercepted by police, thrown in jail without accusation and kept there secretly for ten days without contact with the exterior. He wrote about that experience in his book Kidnappé par la police (kidnapped by police).
In the 1970s, he traveled and studied political science at the Facultad latinoamericana de ciencias sociales in Chile. Back in Canada, he became the director of the Centre local de services communautaires of Saint-Hubert.
From 1978, he dedicated himself full-time to writing and publishing. He became the director of the "Heath" collection at the Québec/Amérique publishing house. In 1985, he published the first edition of his book on simple living. He wrote "I try to realise within myself what I think should be the basis of a fair universe for all: I try to be good, tolerant, honest and just." In 1986, he became director of the "Peace" collection at the Libre Expression publishing house. In 1992, with a group of friends, he founded the publishing house Écosociété, specialized in the themes of society, economy and environment. Mongeau lived in l'île d'Orléans for twenty years. He moved back to Montréal in 2008.
In the 2008 Quebec general election, Serge Mongeau was candidate for Québec solidaire in the electoral district of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. He obtained 12.9% of the votes.
He published a two-part autobiography, in 2006 and 2012.

The Frigg UK System is a natural gas transportation system from the North Sea gas fields to St. Fergus near Peterhead in Scotland. It transports natural gas from the Alwyn North, Dunbar, Ellon, Grant, Nuggets, Frigg, Bruce, Ross, Captain, Buzzard, Tartan, Piper, Chanter, Galley, Hamish, Highlander, Ivanhoe, MacCulloch, Petronella, Saltire, and
Rob Roy, fields.
History
Construction of the main pipeline, the Frigg UK pipeline, started in 1974 and was completed in 1977. It was built to transport natural gas from the Frigg gas field to the United Kingdom. Because of technical limitations, it was decided to build two parallel pipelines, one (the Frigg UK pipeline) by the United Kingdom and one by Norway (former Frigg Norwegian Pipeline, now Vesterled). Even in British waters, until 1998 both pipelines were in Norwegian jurisdiction.
Technical description
The system comprises the Frigg UK pipeline, Alwyn pipeline, other connection lines, and processing facilities at the St Fergus Gas Terminal. The long Alwyn pipeline with diameter of connects Alwyn North Field with the Frigg Field's TP1 bypass spool. From the TP1 the long original Frigg UK Pipeline with diameter of runs to the St Fergus Gas Terminal, alongside of the Vesterled pipeline. An diameter pipeline connects Tartan and Piper fields with the Frigg UK Pipeline at the MCP-01 platform, northeast of Aberdeen. The Frigg UK System is operated by Total E&P UK Ltd.

39S ribosomal protein L33, mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MRPL33 gene.
Function
Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Harald Geisler is an artist known for his typographic projects about the role of writing in society. He was born 1980 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and graduated in 2009 at the University of Art and Design Offenbach am Main.
In 2009 Geisler started creating typefaces and since then released 28 typefaces. With an emphasis on handwriting he developed a method to design fonts that focuses on movement rather than outlines. In 2013 while drawing a font based on Sigmund Freud's manuscripts he started to store multiple versions of each letter in the font instead of fixed ligatures, and created a technique called polyalphabetic substitution that would alter between multiple versions of each letter based on the surrounding letters. This means that when a typist types, the ligatures in each word change so that they are not overused, giving the writing a more realistic look. The technique was based on the rotating barrels of an Enigma encryption machine.
His work is controversially discussed among designers and aims to engage a wider audience in a discourse about typography. His projects are often financed through crowdfunding.
Typefaces
Sigmund Freud Typeface
The idea of the Sigmund Freud typeface is inspired by imagining a person writing a letter to his or hers shrink in Sigmund Freud's handwriting. It is based on eight handwritten documents from 1883 to 1938 selected from the archive of the Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna. in 2015 the font was used in the Times, replacing Times New Roman font in a headline of an article discussing the value of handwriting.
Albert Einstein Font
The Albert Einstein Font is based on Albert Einstein's handwriting. The font holds five variations of each letter that are based on manuscripts from the Albert Einstein Archives in Jerusalem. The letters were recreated using a digital pen to reconstruct the original movement that was used to create them. The project was supported by the Albert Einstein Estate and the production of the font was funded through a Kickstarter Campaign supported by 2334 Backers.
Conspired Lovers
Conspired Lovers is based on Geisler's own handwriting. The design of the font is inspired by love-letter writing.
Notable works
Pen-pals Project
The Pen-pals Project was a historic reenactment of the letter exchange between Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud in 1932, discussing the possibility to "free mankind from the menace of war". In 2017, commemorating the 85th anniversary of the exchange, Geisler reproduced and send the letters from the same location and time of year. Supporters of the project on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter received copies of the letters or addressed copies to politicians.
Typographic Wall Calendar
The Typographic Wall Calendar is a poster series about the notation of time. It is compiled of the number of used keyboard keys that enumerate the year, laid out in a grid and read from left to right. The first print of the series was produced in 2009.
Typographic Postcards
Started as a spin off from the Typographic Wall Calendar Series and since then produced 28 typographic cards based on the topic of writing.
Publications
Designing Programmes
In collaboration with Karl Gerstner, Geisler created in 2007 an updated version of Gerstner's "Designing Programmes" form 1964.

The Nano-Japan Astrometry Satellite Mission for Infrared Exploration (Nano-JASMINE) is an astrometric microsatellite developed by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, with contributions by the University of Tokyo's Intelligent Space Systems Laboratory (ISSL). , the satellite was planned for launch together with CHEOPS (Characterising Exoplanets Satellite) in 2019. However, this launch took place in December 2019 without Nano-JASMINE as one of the three piggyback payloads. Some sources named 2022 as the launch year of the satellite.
Spacecraft
Nano-JASMINE is a microsatellite measuring and weighing approximately . It carries a small, Ritchey–Chrétien telescope that will make observations in the infrared spectrum, allowing for easier observation toward the centre of the Milky Way. Its exterior is covered with Gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells providing approximately 20 watts of power. Due to limited bandwidth, Nano-JASMINE will employ a Star Image Extractor (SIE) for onboard raw image processing that will extract and transmit only specific object data.
Overview
Nano-JASMINE is Japan's first and the world's third astrometric survey spacecraft, following Hipparcos (1989) and Gaia (2013), both launched by the European Space Agency (ESA). It is the pathfinder in a planned series of three spacecraft of increasing size and capability; the second is (originally and officially still called "Small-JASMINE") with a telescope, and the third is JASMINE with an telescope.
The spacecraft is designed to have an astrometric accuracy (2–3 mas (milli-arcsecond) for stars brighter than 7.5 magnitude) comparable to Hipparcos (1 mas). Nano-JASMINE should be able to detect approximately four times the number of stars as Hipparcos. Given the time difference between these missions, combining the data sets of Nano-JASMINE and Hipparcos will constrain the positions of stars whose current positions are poorly known owing to uncertainty in their motion since being measured by Hipparcos, and should provide an order-of-magnitude increase in the accuracy of proper motion measurements (approximately 0.1 mas/year; 0.2 mas/year for stars brighter than 9 magnitude).
Nano-JASMINE had been scheduled for launch aboard a Tsyklon-4 launch vehicle from the Brazilian Space Agency's Alcântara Launch Center (CLA). The launch was originally contracted for August 2011, but was delayed to the November 2013 to March 2014 time frame. Various issues have held back its launch, first due to delays in both the construction of the launch site and development of the launch vehicle, and later due to Brazil backing out of the Tsyklon-4 partnership with Ukraine leading to the rocket's indefinite hold. In March 2015, talks to arrange a flight for Nano-JASMINE began between NAOJ and ESA. It was to be launched as a piggyback payload with CHEOPS on a Soyuz launch vehicle in 2019. As of late 2020, the launch of Nano-JASMINE is foreseen in 2022.
Nano-JASMINE is to be succeeded by a larger spacecraft, JASMINE (formerly "Small-JASMINE"), which is planned to be launched in 2028 by an Epsilon launch vehicle.

Om Prakash Yadav (born 23 March 1963) is an Indian politician and National Vice-President of Bharatiya Janata Party Kisan Morcha. In the Indian General Election, 2009, he was elected to the 15th Lok Sabha from Siwan, by defeating Hena Shahab by a margin over 63,000 votes.
Yadav was a member and contested elections for Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) party. However, in 2009, he was not selected to as the party candidate from Siwan Yadav decided to fight the elections as an Independent, and Siwan became one of the few seats in Bihar that did not go to the former JD(U)-BJP alliance.
He joined Bharatiya Janata Party on 27 January 2014.
Personal life
Yadav was born on 23 March 1962 in Laheji, Siwan district of Bihar to Ramanand Yadav and Simato Devi. He completed his bachelor of Science degree from DAV College, Siwan. Yadav married Radhika Devi on 1 May 1980, with whom he has five daughters and a son. He is a resident of Malviya Nagar in Siwan district.
2004 elections
In 2004, Om Prakash Yadav contested the general elections as a JD-U party candidate and lost to Shahabuddin, who was also in jail then, but could fight elections since he was yet to be convicted. There was widespread intimidation, and opponents were not able to campaign effectively because of an aura of fear. Despite this, Om Prakash managed to get more than 2 lakh votes against Shahabuddin. Subsequently there was widespread violence against his the-then JD-U party
For the crime of having dared put up a credible fight, nine JD workers were killed in the days following the election. Yadav was assigned a team of eight bodyguards.
Om Prakash Yadav himself had to flee his hometown of Lalji near Siwan, and wait out the ganglord's anger while the newly elected state government worked on providing him security.
2009 elections
In the 2009 elections, his main opponent Hena Shahab never campaigned, showing herself in public only at a few meetings with RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and their star campaigner, movie actor Sanjay Dutt. She never spoke at the huge rallies, but only waved her hand. It was clear that the campaign was being run in Shahabuddin's name, by his well-oiled election machinery, though many of his gang members, such as Rustam Mia, Dhruv Jayaswal, Shubrati Mia, Munsi Mia and others were in Siwan jail.
Also, since Nitish Kumar came to power in Bihar in 2005, he set up fast track courts that have sent 14,000 criminals to jail, and the atmosphere of intimidation appears to have eased up considerably. So much so, that even criminal-politicians put up JD-U - Prabhunath Singh of Maharajganj and Vijay Kumar Shukla of Vaishali, also lost.

The hill is named after Cayetana Susana "Suzette" (née Bosque) Claiborne Grymes, daughter of Felicidad Fangui and Bartolomé Bosque, and wife of prominent New Orleans lawyer and member of the First Families of Virginia, John Randolph Grymes. Her first husband was the first governor of Louisiana, William Charles Cole Claiborne. She settled on Staten Island in 1836.
Her daughter Athenais Grymes married New York banker, Louis A. von Hoffman, one of the founders of the Knickerbocker Club.
Geography
Neighborhoods around Grymes Hill include Ward Hill to the north, Silver Lake to the west, Sunnyside and Emerson Hill to the south, to the southeast is Concord, and Stapleton and Stapleton Heights to the east. The east side of the hill is defined by Van Duzer Street and Richmond Road to the intersection with the Staten Island Expressway, which, with Clove Road, defines the southern side. On the west is Victory Boulevard. Some claim Cebra Avenue for the northern border, while others believe that the border is Louis Street.
Topology
Grymes Hill, which has views of Lower New York Bay and the Narrows, is the second highest point on Staten Island after Todt Hill, reaching its greatest elevation of above sea level. Hero Park, in size, is located at the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Louis Street, abutting the Notre Dame Academy property. The areas hillsides and trees are protected by the Special Hillsides Preservation Zoning District which went into effect in 1987. The Serpentine Art and Nature Commons ("SANC") owns and maintains several trails on preservation land. Ownership of of the hillside was assumed by the Trust for Public Land. They encouraged concerned neighbors to form SANC to maintain and improve the land as a nature preserve open to the community.
Starting in the mid-19th century, breweries dug caves into the hill to use in the production of beer. Some of these caves off of Van Duzer Street were later incorporated into a popular restaurant, which provided catering for the movie The Godfather during shooting on Staten Island. The restaurant has since closed, and the entire site was redeveloped with a townhouse complex.
Geology
Grymes Hill was carved by a receding glacier. The Staten Island Serpentinite, which is the serpentine or soapstone area that extends from New Brighton to Richmond, includes the hill country of the island. In places where glacial erosion was limited the stone weathered into a soft, yellowish, fractured condition to which the name "soapstone" is applied, but where the weathered stone was eroded the rock is hard and dense in texture and dark green in color. The rock's green, yellow or brown colors are often mottled with red.
History
The area was originally named Signal Hill after a British signal station. Deeds of 1836 and thereabout show that the hill was known as Castleton Heights. Grymes Hill was part of a land grant in 1687 to Thomas Dongan, who served as Governor of the Province of New York. Between the years 1830 and 1833 a local developer, Major George Howard, purchased 42 acres, which included all land between Eddy and Louis streets. Major Howard built many of the hill's earliest homes, and his name survives in Howard Avenue, the hill's main street; a portion of this street was known for a time as Serpentine Road due to the hill's bedrock consisting of serpentinite.
Community
Grymes Hill is ranked the 4th safest neighborhood in New York City out of 229 according to Niche.
The median household income is in the top 15% in the United States. Howard Avenue on Grymes Hill is considered one of the most exclusive and most expensive areas of Staten Island.
Housing stock
Most homes in the neighborhood are private residences, many of which were constructed for Manhattan businessmen. The neighborhood has many fine homes dating from the 1920s that overlook New York Harbor.
Real estate developer Fred Trump constructed several hundred two- and three-bedroom residences in the late 1940s. These are 423 garden apartments along Howard Avenue and Arlo Road. Fred Trump's son, the developer and later U.S. president Donald Trump, sold these apartments to an unrelated corporation in 2007. Grymes Hill Manor Estates was built in 1953 as rental garden apartments, and switched to co-op status in 1983. It has 152 apartments centering on Seth Court, with many on both sides of Arlo Road, and a few on Howard Avenue and Stratford Avenue. Two high rise apartment buildings at the foot of Howard Avenue converted to condominiums following a major fire in one. There are several apartment buildings on Victory Boulevard. Two new apartment buildings have been constructed facing the Staten Island Expressway. One was turned into condominiums in 2004. The other is being offered as senior citizen housing.
Green spaces
The only public park on Grymes Hill is Hero Park, a 2-acre park donated in 1920 by Dr. and Mrs. Louis A. Dreyfus. However, Grymes Hill residents are within walking distance of the sprawling Silver Lake Park, whose facilities include a running path, a golf course, and several public tennis courts. The neighborhood also borders Clove Lakes Park, with ponds, baseball fields, and a row-boating house among its amenities. Grymes Hill also includes a steep hillside, known as the Serpentine Ridge Nature Preserve and part of the Special Hillsides Preservation District, which is a heavily wooded land area which remains in a natural state and is covered with native trees and plants including several rare, special concern, endangered, and threatened species. The Serpentine Art and Nature Commons maintains several trails on parts of the hillsides, which are owned by the Trust for Public Land.
Grymes Hill includes two cemeteries, both located along Victory Boulevard. Woodland Cemetery dates back to the nineteenth century, and some headstones are in German, reflecting the population of the day. Silver Lake Cemetery also dates back to the nineteenth century, and was the original burial site for the Hebrew Free Burial Association.
Education
Grymes Hill is the home of two institutions of higher learning: Wagner College, and the Staten Island campus of St. John's University. The St. John's campus of was originally a small Catholic women's institution, Notre Dame College, which closed in 1971, when St. John's University took over the campus. Also on the hill is Notre Dame Academy, a Roman Catholic elementary and high school for girls which received an overall A Grade by Niche.
Adjacent to (and owned by) Wagner College is the site of a former Roman Catholic high school, named Augustinian Academy after the order of friars who ran it; the school closed in 1969. Near the foot of the hill, on Foote Avenue, is P.S. 35, the Clove Valley School, a K-5 school which is ranked 10 out of 10 by GreatSchools.org, 85th of 2,395 New York elementary schools according to SchoolDigger and received an overall A Grade by Niche. Also located on Grymes Hill is Casa Belvedere, a center for Italian culture and studies in Italian language and culture which is located in the Louis A. and Laura Stirn House which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, and designated a NYC Landmark in 2001.

Oliver E. (“Chick”) Story (August 7, 1885 – October 17, 1961) was a composer, publisher, and performer active in Boston from 1910 to 1925.
Biography
Oliver Ewell (“Chick”) Story was born of solid Massachusetts stock to Theodore Parker Story and Emma Graham Ewell; his father owned a grocery store, and the family appeared to be prosperous. Oliver was an only child, never married, and lived with his father in East Boston until 1942, when they moved to Chelsea. He returned to East Boston after his father's death in 1947 and remained there for the rest of his life.
Story graduated from Harvard in 1908 and remained an active alumnus at subsequent reunions. His father ran for office in Boston and there are indications that Oliver was also involved with politics. In 1922, he became a Mason (as his father had before him) and later was very active in that, and in other fraternal organizations; he was given a Masonic funeral after his death on October 19, 1961.
Professional career
Apart from a march written at Harvard, Oliver E. Story's early pieces and publications were collaborations with Peter H. (“Happy”) O’Neil. From 1910 through 1912 Story (music) and O’Neil (words) created over a dozen songs, with occasional contributions from other writers and composers. O’Neil and Story also formed a publishing house, issuing all their own titles and about thirty others, but the partnership ended when O’Neil died of cancer, aged 28, on September 28, 1912.
The following year Oliver E. Story opened his own publishing firm, with offices at 218 Tremont Street, the heart of Boston's music district. He issued over fifty titles from 1913 through 1917, including more than a dozen of his own compositions. Also in 1913 he began collaborating with lyricist Jack Caddigan, the start of a partnership that continued for ten years. Noteworthy early songs included “Thanks for the Lobster” and “A Hundred Years from Now,” the latter co-composed with James A. Brennan. Caddigan, Story, and Brennan created the bulk of titles published by Story's firm. During this period Story was also active as a pianist and singer, appearing at events from political rallies to vaudeville. As composer he was known as “Chick,” directing the “Chick Story Trio” and “Chick Story Serenaders,” but as a publisher he remained “Oliver E. Story.”
Story's publishing offices closed in 1917, and in 1918 Oliver was employed in the Boston office of Leo Feist. Caddigan and Story published a few songs with Boston publishers (Billy Lang, D. W. Cooper) and then released “Salvation Lassie of Mine,” a popular postwar number, with Feist. This was followed by “Little French Mother of Mine,” also with Feist, and “Blue Diamonds,” published by Joseph W. Stern, both quite successful. Caddigan and Story self-published their last few songs in 1921–22.
Story continued to list himself as a “musician” in Boston City Directories, and he appeared irregularly in Boston papers as a pianist and as director of amateur theatricals. In the 1940s he appeared in restaurants and clubs, performing “songs of yesteryear.” He evidently had stopped performing by 1950 and receded from public view; his obituary misidentified his most popular titles and credited him with publishing three hundred songs, over twice as many as he actually issued.

The High Atlas Foundation (HAF) (Arabic: مؤسسة الأطلس الكبير; Tamazight: ⵜⴰⵎⵔⵙⵍⵜ ⵏ ⵡⴰⵟⵍⴰⵙ ⴰⵎⵇⵇⵔⴰⵏ) is a nonprofit organization that promotes community-designed initiatives for sustainable agriculture, women’s and youth empowerment, education, health, and capacity-building in Morocco. It is headquartered in Morocco.
Founded in 2000 by former Peace Corps volunteers, HAF an American and Moroccan team that works in partnership with government and non-government agencies. HAF has held consultancy status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 2011.
History
HAF was founded by Yossef Ben-Meir and other former Peace Corps volunteers in 2000. Ben-Meir serves as President and oversees an international Board of Directors. HAP began implementing projects in Morocco in 2003.
HAF requested and was granted project funds from the then-U.S. Ambassador to Morocco, Margaret D. Tutwiler, in 2003, to begin planting organic fruit trees as cash crops for disadvantaged local communities and to help stop soil erosion. Tutwiler arranged the participation of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other agriculture experts. The project was immediately funded, setting a precedent that granted the Ambassador a discretionary fund from which HAF benefited further in later years. By 2014, HAF had planted one million fruit-bearing trees for the benefit of local communities. IT also launched its “one billion tree campaign,” planting 10,000 trees in eight Moroccan provinces in a single day toward addressing rural poverty, deforestation and soil erosion. Toward that end, HAF also hosts an annual tree-planting event in Morocco on the third Thursday of January in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In 2016, the organization planted more than one million fruit seeds and saplings with 120 schools in 15 Moroccan provinces.
In 2008, HAF held a reception at the residence of the U.S. Ambassador in Rabat. Princess Lalla Meryem, sister of King Mohammed VI, was in attendance. HAF announced three partnerships with Hassan II University, the High Commission of Waters and Forests, and the Office Cherifien des Phosphates (OCP).
In partnership with HAF, Hassan II University’s Faculty of Law, Economics, and Social Science (Mohammedia) created the Center for Community Consensus-Building and Sustainable Development. The Center teaches participatory community planning skills to not only students but also faculty, government specialists, elected officials, civil society workers, and citizens. HAF trains facilitators in the participatory approach to community development, facilitates design of priority local projects, and supports implementation of those projects in fruit tree agriculture, clean drinking water, women and youth enterprises, and technical and managerial workshops. University students have volunteered with HAF to help plant trees and bring clean drinking water to remote villages as a result of this partnership.
Since 2011, HAF has held special Consultative Status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Through this access, HAF has participated in shaping the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals and negotiations on climate change relevant to both development and the environment in Morocco.
In 2013, HAF was the SEED Africa award winner in sustainable agriculture for helping the Moroccan farmers certify and sell organic walnuts and almonds produced in the High Atlas Mountains. All profits after cost were reinvested into community projects promoting entrepreneurship and fruit and nut tree growth through training and instruction.
Also in 2013, HAF participated in the Sixth Session of the United Nations General Assembly Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, outlining how these can be implemented and achieved with global partners while also highlighting the challenges of countries in similar situations.
A 2017-2018 HAF-sponsored assessment of crop biodiversity in Morocco uncovered the loss of local crop varieties and genotypes. In response to the immediate need to preserve local crops, their wild relatives, and wild medicinal plants, HAF worked toward the creation of a Seed Bank.
The number of nurseries and number of seeds planted, and tree saplings delivered and planted increased significantly in 2018 with four new nurseries through HAF’s partnership with Morocco’s High Commission of Water and Forests and Ecosia, a social business based in Berlin.
In partnership with the U.S. Department of State and the Rural Family Society, HAF supported the project Realizing Sustainable Agriculture through Methods for Irrigation and Agriculture (MIRRA) in Azraq, Jordan, from 2019 to 2020. This project provided an integrated sustainable packaged solution to the challenges faced by farmers there: depletion and salinization of groundwater, salinization of soil, climate change, increased desertification, wetland loss, and decreased production of livestock.
In 2019, HAF and the U.S. Embassy jointly hosted a three-day Alumni Leadership Seminar in Marrakech, Morocco. Seventy young Moroccans who had participated in exchange programs through the U.S. Department of State in 2017-2018 connected with civil society leaders, experts in entrepreneurship, American diplomats, and embassy officials. This was followed by Marrakech-based community-service projects and professional development programs.
A HAF representative attended the United Nations Youth Climate Summit in New York City, in September 2019, for young leaders driving climate change solutions. That same year, a partnership with the University of Central Florida (Orlando), The Hollings Center for International Dialogue (Washington DC), and HAF conducted field work in the High Atlas Mountains that revealed the role that civil society has in achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (2015) for eliminating poverty, conserving forests, and addressing climate change. HAF’s has helped organize the indigenous Amazigh people into local collectives, cooperatives, and associations to achieve those goals, especially as it pertains to water and drought.
The December 2019 issue of Consumer Reports included HAF on its list of “Most Effective Charities” being rated among the most highly impactful.
HAF opened its twelfth tree nursery near Ouarzazate, Morocco, in 2020 as part of its House of Life project. The nursery will grow almond, walnut, cherry, fig, pomegranate, and carob, donating the majority of the early trees to 5,000 farming families and 2,000 public schools.
Programs
Agriculture
HAF works with Moroccan communities to plant fruit trees of different varieties. Among these are certified organic walnuts and almonds from the High Atlas Mountains made available to European and U.S. buyers. After covering the farmers’ production costs, proceeds are reinvested in community projects through HAF. This facilitates entrepreneurship and training for cultivation of fruit and nut trees. The tree-planting projects also reduce chemical pesticide use through organic farming practices and capture hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide each year. HAF maintains eleven tree nurseries all over Morocco and dedicated the opening of its twelfth fruit tree nursery in November 2020 in Ouarzazate.
Women's empowerment
Moroccan women participate in planning and implementing development projects through HAFs “Imagine” workshops for empowerment, blending self-discovery activities with building women’s cooperatives. This approach focuses on local people identifying their needs and designing projects that directly involve and benefit them, building their feelings of self-worth, and recognizing their right to achieve socio-economic growth. HAF-supported women’s cooperatives develop value-added products that fund schools and other services in their communities. Community ownership and empowerment training through HAF has created more stable local economies.
Research conducted in 2017 by HAF revealed that most women in rural areas of Morocco, such as Al-Haouz Province, were unaware of the rights granted to them in the Moudawana (the family code law ratified in 2004) while women from cities, such as Marrakech, are well aware of it. This can be attributed to lack of education and illiteracy, lack of information access, and cultural practices that keep women dependent on their husbands and families. In light of this, HAF integrated a Rights-Based Approach (RBA) into its women’s empowerment training, reasoning that awareness strengthens capacity.
Youth
Unemployment for Moroccan youth is high. This is combined with political disillusionment and low political participation to create pessimism and a feeling among young people of being unable to freely express themselves. Affording more chances for youth engagement and feedback, “Safe Space” meetings allow youth a voice in identifying and implementing projects that directly impact their needs. HAF’s Oummat Salaam Initiative provides chances for mentorship and agricultural skills-building for unemployed youth and youth inmates. They receive the integration exercises needed to become effective volunteers and to participate in community development.
Water
HAF raises funding for regional initiatives that deliver clean drinking water to remote villages in Morocco. This creates jobs as well as protecting the environment. Rural families in Morocco need water not just for drinking, cooking, and washing, but also for subsistence farming. This requires women and children to walk great distances several times a day for access to water, resulting in children missing school. HAF has coordinated the efforts of international programs and local suppliers to construct pipeline systems, solar-energy pumps, and water tanks where needed.
Capacity-building
HAF facilitates capacity-building in Moroccan communities through participatory planning and the management of projects, associations, and natural resources. People in rural communities need to develop skills to enhance their empowerment and promote economic development. The capacity of a community to provide that training is limited, and access for women and girls is not equitable. The 2016 Global Gender Gap Report ranks Morocco in the lowest tier of countries making progress toward gender parity. Socio-cultural practices, religion, and rural isolation further restrict skills-building. HAF assists local communities to identify and implement priority projects by fostering capacity-building skills. Villagers are involved in every single step. They are entrusted with the authority to make decisions and increasingly become agents of change.”
Culture
The Morocco ideal of multiculturalism ties cultural protection to development, diversity, and reduced socio-economic divides. It is based on the idea of coexistence (“convivencia” from the Spanish) displayed in the harmony with which the Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived in the region of Andalusia during the Middle Ages. This is now represented by Morocco’s national identity of a shared history and culture among diverse groups, including Arabs and the indigenous Amazigh. To that end, HAF works with its partners and the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Interior, and Association Mimouna on cultural preservation projects, such as protecting Jewish cemeteries left behind by the Moroccan Jewish diaspora, community mapping in the Mellah of Marrakech, and reviving an abandoned French Catholic monastery. In Essaouira, HAF is working to restore a Franciscan church to preserve the role Christianity has played in Moroccan culture and to make it a place for public meetings and education.
Partners
High Atlas Foundation (HAF) nurseries use land lent In kind from donors such as the Departments of Water and Forests, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and the Moroccan Jewish community. This, as well as collaborations with international partners such as Ecosia, a Berlin-based social business, allows the organization to plant more than 1 million seeds each year.
The House of Life project was created in 2012 between HAF and HA3 (the High Atlas Agricultural and Artisanal social enterprise), endorsed by the Kingdom of Morocco and the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The farm-to-table process began with the loan of land next to Jewish burial sites at no cost in three Moroccan provinces in order to establish nurseries for organic trees and medicinal plants meant to benefit neighboring Muslim farming communities. The nurseries enable allow communities to transition away from subsistence farming, which keeps them trapped in poverty, and to develop the local and national economy. Local cooperatives secure fair-trade prices for organically-grown products. Profits from national and international markets are reinvested in the communities’ future projects. The first locally-managed nursery established on such land was in the then-Marrakech-Essaouira (now Marrakech-Safi) region, adjacent to the seven-hundred-year-old tomb of Jewish saint Rabbi Raphael HaCohen. In 2015, Younes Al Bathaoui, then-Governor of Al Haouz province, attended a HAF ceremony to plant 30,000 seeds and saplings there and to set aside 30,000 additional two-year-old trees of olive, fig, lemon, and pomegranate for local farmers.
A tree-planting and distribution ceremony with the fruit trees from that nursery was held in January 2016 in Tomsloht Commune, Akrich (Al Haouz Province) on the fifteenth day of Shevat, or Tu B-Shevat (Jewish calendar). Various dignitaries were in attendance, including the Honorable Dwight Lamar Bush (then-U. S. Ambassador), as well as Akrich community members and those interested in preservation of the Toubkal National Park. The ceremony signaled a partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Commitment to Action tree-planting project, ending with an agreement to plant a million trees on the land bordering Jewish burial sites in the Azilal, Essaouira, and Ouarzazate provinces. The partnership benefits disadvantaged local Muslim farmers.
The main goal of House of Life is forming Muslim-Jewish collaboration in Morocco with agriculture as a bridge between development needs and cultural history. The Akrich nursery gives 2,000 farming families and 150 local schools a chance to end food insecurity. Jews and Muslims work together through active community participation.
The Moroccan government has encouraged such projects in an effort to promote the country’s Jewish heritage, especially to encourage the return of two million Moroccan Jews in the diaspora. An estimated several hundred Moroccan Jews make the yearly Hiloula, or pilgrimage, to the site. For the Muslim caretaker, the nursery provides a secure income and helps the village address their most basic needs and improve their standard of living.
In a partnership with the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation through the U.S. Embassy in Rabat, HAF and the Essaouira-Mogador Association were able to engage in a project to maintain and preserve Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cemeteries in Essaouira.
Another nursery growing almonds and olives was established in 2013 in the village of Ouaouizerth through the U.S. Department of Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES). It was dedicated to the memory of former Peace Corps volunteer and U.S. Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens. HAF’s partner, Ecosia, provides continued financial support to the nursery. Other nurseries in the High Atlas grow carob, walnut, pomegranate, cherry, fig, argan, and date palm as well, depending on the growing conditions. For spreading the variety of seeds and trees around the nation, HAF has been called the “Johnny Appleseed of Morocco.”
A 2016 partnership agreement with the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training fostered environmental education in schools and created nurseries for planting trees at those schools.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Farmer-to-Farmer program supplies technical assistance to farmers and people in the area of agriculture in developing countries. American volunteers with the program have helped establish, expand, and maintain nurseries in HAF’s community-based initiatives. In conjunction with a USAID Farmer-to-Farmer volunteer, HAF established a nursery in the village of Tassa Ouirgane in 2017 through a grant from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). This helped the village improve irrigation, control erosion, add a solar pump, and store water for growing olives, walnuts, peaches, and plums in the nursery.
Students at University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah (USMBA) in Fez, Morocco, determined in 2018 that a law clinic was needed there for the increasing number of refugees and those seeking asylum. As of 2020, with the closures, restrictions, and limitations for migrants brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, HAF began implementing this student-run Clinique Juridique de la Faculté de Droit (CJFD), which is funded by the United States Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) of the U.S. State Department and the National Endowment for Democracy. The clinic provides free legal aid to migrants, promotes human rights, and assists with social integration. During the COVID-19 crisis, the clinic offered pro bono legal aid in particular to refugees, migrants, victims of human trafficking, women, and youth.
HAF worked with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy in the summer of 2020 to distribute food, hygiene products, and clothing to thousands of Moroccans impacted by COVID-19. In addition, they collaboratively distributed thousands of almond and walnut trees to 500 most vulnerable households for better income and diet.
The High Atlas Foundation has also established partnerships with the following organizations, corporations, agencies, and government bureaus: Association Mimouna, Crédit Agricole du Maroc Foundation, FRÉ Skincare, Empowerment Institute, INDH (National Initiative for Human Development), National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and PUR Project.

The A7 motorway (), also known as the Ploiești–Siret Motorway () or the Moldavia Motorway (), is a partially built motorway in Romania, that upon completion will link Ploiești to the north-eastern part of the country, partly along the Pan-European Corridor IX. It will run along the route: Buzău, Focșani, Bacău, Roman, Pașcani, and Suceava, connecting to Ukraine's M19 highway near Siret.
As of December 2020, the only segment in service is a long section, built as part of the Bacău bypass (). All other sections of the motorway are in various stages of planning, tendering and construction, with the first segments expected to be finished by 2024 the earliest.
The Pașcani – Siret section will be financed through EU funds, while the government wants the Ploiești – Pașcani section (excluding the Bacău bypass) to be financed through the Romanian PNRR (short for Planul Național de Redresare și Reziliență, part of the Next Generation EU package).
History
Initially it was designed as a long motorway branching off the A3 motorway and passing through Buzău, Focșani, and Albița, to the border with the Republic of Moldova. However, since 2014 plans in favor of a motorway past Focșani were scrapped in favor of a motorway towards Bacău, Suceava, and Siret termed A7. The motorway from Focșani to Albița (155 km) will have a different route number assigned and, as of April 2014, it was no longer a priority in the master plan for the national motorway network.
Sections
The first section, from Ploiești to Focșani (133 km), was proposed for a concession contract for tendering first half of 2013. No contract was signed, and the only section that has been tendered was the Bacău bypass (30.6 km, of which 16.2 km of motorway) in August 2013, but built at only half profile. It was awarded for construction in November 2013, but the results of the tender were contested by some of the participants. Later in 2014, the whole motorway was redesigned as an expressway that would later be expanded to full motorway specifications.
On 30 May 2016, the construction works at Bacău bypass started, and they were expected to be finished by 2022, but the contract with the Turkish company Eko İnşaat ve Ticaret was terminated in April 2017, due to financial difficulties of the constructor.
In December 2017, the Bacău bypass was reauctioned, this time as a full motorway section, and was awarded in December 2018, to the local based Spedition UMB – Tehnostrade joint venture, with the deadline in three years.
The Bacău bypass opened on 2 December 2020, with minor works, mainly to the protective elements and to one exit, remaining yet to be completed. All remaining works on the bypass and its branches were completed by August 2021. All other sections are in the feasibility study and technical project phase, with the exception of the motorway segments between Ploiești and Focșani via Buzău. The Ploiești - Buzău section (62 km) was auctioned for construction on 1 June 2021. On 1 February 2022, the Buzău bypass (4.6 km) and the Focșani bypass (10.9 km) were auctioned for construction, followed by the segments Buzău - Râmnicu Sărat (30.8 km) and Râmnicu Sărat - Focșani (36.1 km) on 8 February, same year, both on the Buzău - Focșani section (82.4 km).
On 7 June 2022, the segment between Mizil and Pietroasele (Ploiești - Buzău lot 2, 28.3 km) was awarded to the joint-venture Coni-Trace. 9 days later, on 16 June 2022, the segment between Ploiești and Mizil (Ploiești - Buzău lot 1, 21.0 km) was awarded to the joint-venture Impresa Pizzarotti-Retter. On 25 July 2022, the tender for the Bacău - Pașcani section (77.3 km) was launched, being divided into three lots: Bacău - Roman (lot 1, 30.3 km), Roman - Săbăoani (lot 2, 18.9 km), and Săbăoani - Pașcani (lot 3, 28.09 km). In August 2022, the tender for Focșani - Bacău launched as well, also divided into three lots: Focșani - Domnești-Târg (lot 1, 35.6 km), Domnești-Târg - Răcăciuni (lot 2, 38.78 km), and Răcăciuni - Bacău (lot 3, 21.52 km). On 6 September 2022, the Buzău bypass and the Focșani bypass were awarded to the joint-venture SA&PE-Spedition UMB-Tehnostrade.
The route of the Focșani bypass is notorious for its so-called "hump", backed by the local authorities of the city of Focșani on the grounds of an unapproved "general urban plan". The CNAIR tried unsuccessfully to convince the local authorities to support the variant of a straight route. Plans call that at Rădăuți (Milișăuți) the road towards Siret becomes an expressway, however this section is yet to have a route number assigned.
As of August 2022, lots 1 and 2 of the Ploiești - Buzău section are undergoing construction.
In the early hours of 21 September 2023, a gas explosion occurred near Călimănești in the Vrancea county, killing 4 and injuring 5 more. The explosion was caused where the motorway's construction site crossed a gas pipeline, which was initially believed to be at a depth of 1,8 meters, but had turned out to be much more shallow. Transgaz, the national gas distribution provider, blamed the construction company for performing unauthorized work in the area.

Operation Spark (sometimes translated as "Operation Flash") was the code name for the planned assassination of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler by the anti-Nazi conspiracy of German Army officers and political conservatives, known as the Schwarze Kapelle ("black orchestra") during World War II. The name was coined by Major General Henning von Tresckow in 1941. He believed that because of Hitler's many successes up to that time, his personal charisma, and the oath of personal loyalty to him sworn by all German army officers, it would be impossible to overthrow Hitler and the Nazis with Hitler still alive. Hitler's death, however, would be a "spark"—a signal that it was time to launch an internal coup d'état to overthrow the Nazi regime and end the war.
By early 1943, the failure to overcome the Soviet Union, including the disastrous defeat at Stalingrad, defeats in North Africa, and increasing Allied bombing of Germany had substantially weakened many Germans' allegiance to the Nazi regime. The conspirators decided it was time for the "spark". General Friedrich Olbricht, who controlled the Ersatzheer (Replacement Army) set up a plan for Replacement Army troops to seize control of Germany after Hitler was killed. Tresckow was now serving as Chief Operations Officer of Army Group Centre (AGC) on the Eastern Front. AGC commander Günther von Kluge knew of Tresckow's activities, but did not denounce him to the Gestapo, nor participate himself. He allowed Tresckow to put several other anti-Nazi officers on the AGC staff, but he also tried to dissuade Tresckow from taking action.
Major collaborators
Major General Henning von Tresckow, Chief Operations Officer of AGC
Lieutenant Fabian von Schlabrendorff, Tresckow's Special Operations Officer at AGC
Colonel Rudolph-Christoph von Gersdorff, Tresckow's Abwehr Intelligence Liaison Officer
Major Georg von Boeselager, commander of cavalry forces near AGC headquarters
Captain Axel Freiherr von dem Bussche-Streithorst
Captain Eberhard von Breitenbuch
Lieutenant Colonel Werner Schrader
General Friedrich Olbricht, Chief of the Armed Forces Replacement Office (Wehrersatzamt)
Attempts at Army Group Centre
Hitler flew to Werwolf, his "field headquarters" near Vinnitsa in Ukraine, on 19 February 1943, staying until 13 March. He decided that before returning to Germany, he would also visit AGC headquarters near Smolensk that same day. He would meet with Kluge, and dine in the officers' mess before departing. This was the first opportunity for his assassination by Tresckow's group.
For such an occasion, Tresckow had prepared three options:
Major von Boeselager had formed a cavalry "honour guard" unit secretly packed with anti-Nazi officers. With this force he could intercept Hitler in the forest between the airfield and the HQ area, overwhelm Hitler's SS escort in a fair fight, and kill the Führer. This option was rejected because even the plotters disliked the prospect of German soldiers fighting each other, and because the attack could fail if the escort was stronger than expected.
The plotters could shoot Hitler during dinner in the mess. This option was also abandoned for many of the plotters abhorred the idea of shooting an unarmed man and would not go along.
A timebomb could be smuggled on Hitler's plane. This was the plan ultimately attempted.
The bomb was adapted from a British plastic explosive, which had been seized by the Abwehr from captured SOE agents. The pencil detonator consisted of a thin copper tube containing copper chloride that would take about ten minutes to silently eat through wire holding back the spring-loaded firing pin from the percussion cap. This mechanism provided a time delay for detonation, without any telltale ticking of a clockwork mechanism or smell from a burning fuse.
The bomb was disguised as a box supposedly containing two bottles of Cointreau. Tresckow was acquainted with Lieutenant Colonel Heinz Brandt, an officer on Hitler's staff, who traveled on Hitler's plane. Tresckow asked Brandt to take the parcel with him to Germany for delivery to Tresckow's friend General Helmuth Stieff. (Stieff was anti-Nazi, but not then part of the fiasco.) Tresckow claimed the liquor was the payoff for a bet he had lost to Stieff.
Tresckow's aide, Schlabrendorff, carried the parcel to the airfield. As Hitler and his entourage prepared to board his plane, Schlabrendorff secretly activated the detonator with a pair of pliers, then re-closed the parcel and handed it to Brandt as he boarded the plane.
The bomb was expected to explode about half an hour later, with the plane near Minsk, close enough to the front for the plane's loss to be attributed to Soviet fighters.
When the crash and Hitler's death were reported, General Olbricht would use the Replacement Army to seize control in Berlin, Vienna, and Munich, and in the centres of the Wehrkreis (the German military supply system). It was an ambitious but credible plan, and might possibly have worked if Hitler had indeed been killed, although persuading Army units to fight and overcome possible fierce resistance from the SS could have been a major obstacle.
However, as with Elser's bomb in 1939 and all other attempts, luck favoured Hitler, which he attributed to Vorsehung ("Providence"). The British-made detonator had been tested many times and was considered reliable. It operated correctly, but the bomb did not explode. The percussion cap apparently became too cold as the parcel was carried in the unheated cargo hold.
Displaying great composure, Schlabrendorff took the next plane to retrieve the package from Lt. Colonel Brandt before the bomb was discovered or eventually detonated late. The explosives were later used by Gersdorff and Claus Von Stauffenberg.
Later attempts
Suicide bomb at museum
Army Group Center provided a collection of captured Soviet Army weapons to be displayed at a military museum in Berlin. The display was to open on 21 March 1943, with a personal viewing by Hitler, Luftwaffe commander Hermann Göring, SS Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler, Kriegsmarine commander Karl Dönitz, and OKW chief Wilhelm Keitel.
Colonel Gersdorff volunteered to be a human time bomb. He would carry the explosives inside his army coat. The museum was unheated, so his wearing a long coat would not seem suspicious. A few minutes before Hitler arrived, he would start the ten-minute fuses on the explosives. Just before the bombs would go off, he would rush to Hitler and embrace him; the explosion would kill both men.
Despite the plan, at the last minute just before Hitler was to appear, his visit was reduced to just eight minutes as a security precaution, and he breezed through in just two minutes, leaving well before Gersdorff's explosives would have gone off. Gersdorff barely managed to get out and defuse the bombs.
The winter uniform suicide bomb
Standard German army uniforms had proven inadequate for the harsh conditions of the Russian winter, thus the Army had a new winter uniform designed. A viewing of the new uniform by Hitler was arranged. The uniform was also to be adopted by the Waffen-SS and the Luftwaffe Field Divisions, so SS chief Heinrich Himmler and Luftwaffe commander Hermann Göring were expected to be present as well. This made for a great opportunity: the three most important and powerful Nazis could all be finished.
After several misfires (due to a rescheduling made by one of the three men), the viewing was scheduled for 16 November 1943.
The model was to be Axel von dem Bussche, who volunteered to carry a landmine in the knapsack of the uniform, and detonate it when the three Nazi leaders were gathered around him. Nonetheless, the freight car containing the new uniforms was destroyed in an Allied air raid the night before the scheduled demonstration. The viewing was rescheduled, but again delayed by schedule conflicts among the "Big Three" Nazis until February. Meanwhile, von dem Bussche had to return to front-line duty, and was badly wounded, losing part of one leg, so he could no longer serve as model.
Captain Ewald von Kleist volunteered to replace von dem Bussche, and attempt a similar suicide bombing at a viewing scheduled for 11 February 1944; yet this event was repeatedly postponed and eventually cancelled.
Shooting attack
Captain Eberhard von Breitenbuch was on the staff of Field Marshal Ernst Busch, now commanding Army Group Centre. In early 1944, Busch and his staff were summoned to brief Hitler. Breitenbuch volunteered to carry a 7.65mm Browning pistol concealed in his trouser pocket into the briefing (which took place on 11 March), and shoot Hitler. But on the day of the briefing, Hitler issued a Führer directive excluding junior officers from Führer briefings.
Water tower bomb
Two army conspirators smuggled a bomb into the Wolf's Lair and lowered it into a water tower. But the bomb mysteriously exploded a few weeks later, jolting the SS guards. SS Chief Himmler immediately launched an inquiry into the incident which was deliberately blocked by Lieutenant Colonel Werner Schrader–the investigative officer in charge and, as it turned out, a fellow conspirator.

William Oliver Guillemont Lofts (2 September 1923 – 27 June 1997) was a British researcher and author.
Lofts was born in Marylebone, London in 1923, and attended Barrow Hill Road Elementary School. At sixteen he was working as an office boy, and still living at home at 146 Ashbridge Street in Marylebone. During the Second World War, he enlisted in the Royal Artillery on 6 August 1942 and served in India and Myanmar for almost all of his service. It was during his military service that he first became avidly interested in juvenile fiction, after coming across a "Sexton Blake" paperback in a deserted hut in 1944.
From the 1960s to the 1980s he worked for the legal department of IPC Magazines, mostly researching issues related to copyright. He was deeply interested in boys' fiction, and spent years researching the topic, collaborating with another researcher Derek John Adley, on many bibliographic works.
Lofts' writings include The Saint and Leslie Charteris (1970) and The World of Frank Richards (1975).

The United States Army Aviation Technology Office (ATO), known as Flight Concepts Division (FCD) before 2017, is a component of the United States Army that provides discreet, sometimes clandestine helicopter aviation support primarily to Joint Special Operations Command. The unit provides highly specialized flights for special operations forces during covert and clandestine missions, and also has a bleeding-edge development role, leading research in emerging technologies for Army aviation. It is a part of the infrastructure of covert special operations airlift more secretive than the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, joining at least three other units across the services and within JSOC itself: the joint Aviation Tactics Evaluation Group (AvTEG), and the Air Force's 66th Air Operations Squadron and 427th Special Operations Squadron. Part of the U.S. Army Aviation Flight Test Directorate, the unit is located at Felker Army Airfield along the James River on Fort Eustis, and has been described as "the best of the very best" and "one of the most secretive U.S. military aviation units known to be in existence today."
History
Little is known of the history of the unit because of its inherent secrecy, however it is often reported to have emerged out of the lineage of the unit known as SEASPRAY, as well as sharing connections with the former aviation component of Delta Force, Echo Squadron. Through its various incarnations, the unit's history has been described as "intertwined" with many other covert elements of the U.S. Army including the Intelligence Support Activity, as far back as the 1980's.
Activities
The unit reportedly led the development of the stealth variant of the Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter used in the raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The Accademia dei Gelati (Academy of the Frozen) was a learned society of intellectuals, mainly noblemen, that significantly influenced the cultural and political life of Baroque Bologna. It is considered one of the most important 17th-century Italian academies.
History
The Accademia dei Gelati was founded in Bologna in 1588 by a group of young gentlemen associated with the university led by Melchiorre Zoppio. Its members gathered at Zoppio's house, in a marvelous room with a theater and a rich library. Zoppio was one of the Academy's keenest members, adopting the name Caliginoso within it and leaving it a room for its meetings in his will.
The name of the Academy refers to the academicians belief that their literary conversations would "enflame" their "frozen" intellects.
The subjects of the first meetings were love poetry and the Neoplatonic philosophy of love. Later, the Academy developed a great interest in philosophy. Following Plato's philosophical gatherings, the academicians discussed the most subtle philosophical issues after a friendly dinner. They called these meetings "Cene de' saggi" (dinners of wise men).
Influenced by the example of Bologna’s senior poet, Cesare Rinaldi, the Gelati quickly published two verse anthologies, Ricreazioni amorose (1590) and Rime (1597), which were early landmarks in the transition from Petrarchism to Conceptismo. Their verse is characterized by extended metaphors which went well beyond the orthodox Petrarchist canon.
As has recently been recognized, the poets of the Gelati, and Rinaldi especially, played an important role in transforming the late lyric style of Torquato Tasso into the highly sensuous and conspicuously ingenious poetry for which Marino is famous, and it was in Bologna that Marino first encountered many of the imaginative techniques that he so brilliantly developed in his own poetry.
Subsequently, led by Claudio Achillini and Ridolfo Campeggi, the Gelati championed the poetry of Giambattista Marino. Their own later production included much religious verse and tended to the moderate Baroque style typified by another academician, Girolamo Preti.
They published biographies of their leading members as Memorie imprese, e ritratti de' Signori Accademici Gelati (1670), and were also involved as theorists in the development of Bolognese Baroque painting. The Academy had close links with many of the most important Bolognese artists of the day. During Agostino Carracci's funeral in Bologna, it was Lucio Faberio, a member of the Academy, who delivered the funeral oration. The laws of the Accademia dei Gelati were published for the first time in 1670.

Kāpi is a popular rāga in Carnatic music, the classical music of South India. Kāpi is a janya rāgam of Kharaharapriya with a meandering vakra scale. Typically performed at slow and medium speeds, it is capable of inducing moods of devotion, pathos and sadness in the listeners. Kāpi is different from the Hindustani raag and thaat Kafi. The equivalent raag in Hindustani is Pilu.
Structure and Lakshana
Kāpi is an audava-vakra sampoorna rāgam with an ascending pentatonic scale and a descending scale with seven notes, but not in a descending order. Use of Kakali Nishadam and Anthara Gandharam make it a Bhashanga Raagam.
:
:
The presence of different nishāda swarās (N2 and N3) lends a distinctive quality to Kāpi, along with the fact that it uses a set of vakra swarās (N2 D2 N2).
There is also a mild presence of shuddha daivatham (D1) that renders an invaluable feeling of devotion to the raagam. This, and the presence of Anthara Gandharam (G3) makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact nature of the avarohana of the raagam.
In the song Jagadhodharana composed by Sangeeta Pitamaha Sri Purandara Dasa, the note Suddha Dhaivatham (Dha1) also occurs as a foreign note(anya swara)
Kapi ragam gives the feeling Devotion, Sentiment and happiness
Compositions
Some of the popular compositions in Kāpi are:
Jagadoddhārana Adisidaleshode, Bannisi gopi - Purandaradasa
Mee Valla Gunadosha Memi, Intha Sowkhya - Thyagaraja
Venkatachalapate Ninu Nammiti - Muthuswami Dikshitar **
Viharamanasa Rame, Smarasi Pura, Sree Madhavamanu - Swathi Thirunal
Enna thavam seydanai Yashoda - Papanasam Sivan
Bhaja maadhavam anisham - Mysore Vasudevacharya
Maya Gopabala - K C Kesava Pillai
Jaanaki ramana dasaratha nandana - Vanamaamalai Jeeyar Swami
Javo Mat Thum (Upaakhyanam) - Swathi Thirunal
Chinnanchiru Kiliye (First two stanzas) - Subramanya Bharathi
Kurai Ondrum Illai (Two charanam verses) - Chakravarti Rajagopalachari
Karthikeyanai - Mayuram Viswanatha Sastri
Aravinda Padamalar - Ambujam Krishna
Charanamule Nammiti - Bhadrachala Ramadasu
Kanaka Simham - Kalyani Varadarajan
Kanna Vaa Manivanna Vaa (First two verses) - Ambujam Krishna
Nee mattume en nenjil nirkirai - Perumal Murugan and K Arun Prakash
** Kāpi of Muthuswami Dikshitar is quite different from the traditional Kāpi and often cited as karNATaka Kāpi
The Moorchana of Kāpi as per Venkatamakhin is S R2 G2 M1 P D2 N2 S/ N2 D2 P M1 G2 G2 R2 S

Frank Marvin Readick Jr. (November 6, 1896 — December 27, 1965) was an American radio and film actor.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Readick was well known for his evil laughter that followed the introduction from The Shadow radio drama: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!". Readick replaced James La Curto to be the narrator in the Detective Story Hour (the precursor of The Shadow) in 1930, four months after the launch of the series when La Curto went for a Broadway role. Readick continued to portray the Shadow on The Blue Coal Radio Revue (1931-1932) and The Love Story Hour (1931-1932) before The Shadow was used as the title of a series. This signature line remained intact in The Shadow even after Orson Welles succeeded Readick.
He later played the doomed CBS reporter Carl Phillips in the 1938 radio production of The War of the Worlds. Readick modeled his performance on WLS reporter Herbert Morrison's coverage of the Hindenburg disaster the previous year.
Readick later appeared alongside his War of the Worlds co-star and Mercury Theatre director Orson Welles in Citizen Kane (1941) and Journey into Fear (1943).
On old-time radio, Readick was a member of the casts of The FBI in Peace and War and The Campbell Playhouse. He had the title roles in The Adventures of Smilin' Jack and Meet Mr. Meek, and portrayed Knobby Walsh on Joe Palooka. He was also known for House of Mystery (1931) and A Burglar to the Rescue (1931).
He died in 1965 in the USA.

Li Guangchang (, ), also known as Zheng Min (), was a self-declared Chinese emperor and leader of a salvationist sect. He actually ruled a small territory in Cangnan County, called the "Zishen Nation" (), from 1981 to 1986 in de facto independence from China. His reign was eventually brought to an end by Chinese security forces who captured him and dismantled his statelet as well as his sect. Li was tried in court, and probably sentenced to death for leading a counter-revolutionary movement.
Biography
Li was native to Changxiang Village, Cangnan County, and born into a poor family. He received a primary school education via the anti-illiteracy classes implemented by the Communist government after the Chinese Civil War's end in 1949. From an early age, he dreamed of becoming emperor. Skilled as orator, he rose to leader of his village's farm production team. At some point, he was arrested for alleged crimes in corruption, and sentenced to five years in prison. He attempted unsuccessfully to break out from prison, resulting in an extension of his sentence by another five years. After ten years in prison, Li was released. His desire to oppose the government and to become emperor remained strong. He became a wandering preacher and a “swindler”, repeatedly clashing with the law.
By 1981, he was already rather old. In that year, he travelled under the name "Zheng Min" () to Shuitou, Pingyang County, Zhejiang, claiming that he intended to reconnect with his old friend Wei Zhijian (). The latter had become locally notorious for illegal behavior of various kinds as well as his ambition to become an official one day. The two met and discussed various issues for several days until Li eventually convinced Wei to help organizing a sect termed the "Zishen Nation". According to a later official report by Chinese authorities, Li convinced Wei that he had been appointed emperor by two individuals, "Zhu Gang" () from the United States and "Wulinbietuo" () from the Soviet Union. These two had allegedly founded the "Zishen Nation" in secret in accordance with the dying wishes of Sun Yat-sen, China's provisional first president, and had built an underground nuclear weapons factory in Tongling. As per these claims, Li believed that a nuclear war would soon break out, resulting in the collapse of China's Communist government and the takeover by his own empire. Li appointed Wei "General of the Third Army Corps" of Zishen, and urged him to gather local anti-communists for their cause. Li's project was not uncommon by itself, as hundreds of people have proclaimed themselves emperors or empresses in China since 1949; however, most of these pretenders gathered only very small groups of followers and were quickly arrested by government forces. In contrast, Li's group would prove surprisingly successful.
Li and Wei moved to Changxiang Village, proclaiming the establishment of Zishen and convincing the locals of their cause. They set up an actual government including various officials, created a state flag featuring a double planet in black, white, yellow, blue, vermillion; a war flag; and a uniform for their army. The center of the statelet was a Buddhist temple. From 1981, Li ruled his miniature empire in de facto independence, while his sect spread among the rural population of Zhejiang and Fujian. He promised wealth and government positions to those willing to follow him, appointing ministers, generals, and magistrates. To raise funds to support his government, Li encouraged donations and issued his own currency. According to researchers Yu Chen and Shenghua Zhang, Wei went to Fujian where he attempted to forge connections to the anti-Communist government on Taiwan, although without success. Instead, Wei encountered a man named Xu in Mingxi who claimed to possess an "imperial jade seal"; he and Li procured the alleged heirloom, cementing the latter's authority as self-proclaimed emperor.
In August 1984, Wei recruited Lin Bingqi, an ex-militiaman, for Zishen; as he had military experience, Li appointed Lin as general. Lin proved to have a talent in leading people, and managed to recruit several more people for his emperor's cause in Qingliu County. In early 1985, Li and Wei travelled to Shanxi, where the former gained the contract-rights for a coal mine, intending to turn it into a "major enterprise" as well as provisional headquarters for the movement. By 1986, his forces had become active in many counties, including Jiangle, Mingxi, Ninghua, Songxi, and Jianning. Many villagers believed in Li's rhetoric and prepared for dynastic change; others were terrorized by Li's followers. Researcher S.A. Smith described Li as "monarch of impressive longevity", finding it interesting that no public security bureau (PSB) crushed his statelet for five years despite the fact that Zishen's leadership made no secret of its aims. Li and his ministers spread several claims, arguing that they already controlled large parts of China, had access to nuclear weapons, foretold the arrival of heavenly soldiers, and promised their followers safety when the awaited nuclear apocalypse came to be.
The PSB later claimed that the sect had intended to launch an armed uprising in Ninghua on Chinese New Year of 1986, allegedly producing a potion to render people unconscious for this purpose. The uprising was reportedly inspired by the diviner Zhang Ruifang who had promised Li that he would be invincible in battle on a very specific date. The police raided Zishen's headquarters before the planned rebellion took place, and arrested 33 leaders of Zishen in spring 1986. Li initially escaped, but was arrested two months later in Shandong. He was subsequently charged with founding and leading a "reactionary secret sect for counterrevolutionary purposes". The sentences of Li and his companions remain unclear, but researchers Robin Munro and Mickey Spiegel considered it likely that the self-proclaimed emperor was sentenced to death.

Dramacon is an original English-language manga written and illustrated by Svetlana Chmakova. It was published in three volumes by Tokyopop from October 11, 2005 to December 11, 2007. Dramacon is considered one of Tokyopop's best OEL manga.
Plot
Dramacon focuses on Christie Leroux, a fledgling teenage writer who is debuting her manga with her artist boyfriend, Derek Hollman, at her first anime convention. Christie endures Derek ignoring her along with the culture shock of men in schoolgirl uniforms. During the three-day convention, Christie meets Lida Zeff, a famous manga artist and writer, who gives her advice on improving her manga, and Matt Green, a mysterious sun-glasses wearing cosplayer, whom she develops feelings for. Matt always wears sunglasses to conceal the fact that his eye is missing. Derek witnesses Matt and Christie kissing, and confronts her while drunk. During the argument, he attacks and attempts to rape her; however, she escapes to Matt's room, which leads Derek and Matt to fight. Christie spends her last day with Matt, his sister Sandra, and Greta, a friend of theirs. They have to wait another whole year before they see each other again since Christie is still in high school and lives on the east coast while Matt lives on the west coast and attends college.
A year later, Christie returns to the convention with Bethany, a new artist. Christie discovers that Matt now has a girlfriend named Emily. While Christie deals with her feelings for Matt, Bethany faces off with a disgruntled manga purist and is offered a job at Mangapop. Lida Zeff helps the two girls with advice for Bethany about living in a manga publishing world. Emily pulls off Matt's sunglasses in a crowded fast food restaurant after a feud with a bystander, and he is then horrified at the people staring at him, so he runs off. When Christie chases after him, Matt tells her to "piss off". The next day, Christie runs away from him when he tries to apologize, and refuses his kiss. They part without saying good-bye. Bethany and Christie leave the convention with a promise to cosplay the next year and to continue to work hard on their manga.
At the next convention, Christie meets up with Matt, but her friends follow her, and she constantly argues with Matt. She runs into Derek, which brings back the memories of him attacking her, but sees that he now has a pregnant fiancée. Matt and Christie try to control their tempers, with Matt particularly trying to hold his biting retorts, and they seem to have made up, even with Emily still around and finding ways to break into their dates as a form of payback for last year. Meanwhile, Bethany refuses to cosplay after learning that her mother is coming to the convention. She argues with her mother about her career choice; after her mom is in a car accident, Beth leaves the convention to be by her side in the hospital and they reconcile. Bethany gains her mother's blessing to pursue a job with Mangapop. Christie and company all leave the convention considerably happier than the past year.
Development
The initial concept of Dramacon was about "a girl who meets a cosplayer, and there would be all kinds of obstacles and drama that they'd have to overcome." Svetlana Chmakova attended anime conventions regularly and came up with the concept of the series when she encountered the same cosplayer at the same convention for two years. She explained:
Tokyopop discovered Chmakova through her web comic Chasing Rainbows, rather than through its annual Rising Stars of Manga competition, where many of its OEL manga authors were found. She wrote the first volume as "a piece of fluff" and "just wanted to have fun with it." She left the ending of the first volume open since she was unsure if other volumes would be published. While writing the series, she tried to make the story as realistic as possible. Chmakova also liked the idea of Dramacon being an anime, but did not think that it was likely to happen. Chmakova has moved on to create her next series, Nightschool, and says in regard to future volumes of Dramacon, "It is extremely unlikely it will ever happen because Tokyopop has a tight grip on the rights and is not currently publishing new titles."
Release
Written and illustrated by Svetlana Chmakova, Dramacon is published by Tokyopop in three volumes from October 11, 2005 to December 11, 2007. Tokyopop later re-released in the series in one volume, Dramacon Ultimate Edition (), on October 7, 2008. Madman Entertainment distributes the series in New Zealand and Australia. Dramacon is also licensed in France by Albin Michel, in Germany by Tokyopop Germany, in Portugal by Edições Asa, in Hungary by Mangattack, in Finland by Pauna Media Group, and in Japan by Soft Bank Creative.
Volume list
Reception
Dramacon was positively received by English-language readers. The second volume reached the 8th spot in Bookscan's Top 10 and reached the 89th spot on the list of the top 100 best-selling graphic novels with 1,155 copies sold. The third volume debuted at the 82nd spot with 1,246 copies sold.
Mike Toole of Anime Jump stated: "It's a comic that's sly and indulgent to anime fans, but still accessible, attractive, and wickedly funny." PopCultureShock's Erin Finnegan commented that the second Dramacon volume "is a compelling read, but at times it comes off more like an internet forum discussion than an actual volume of manga." Johanna Draper Carlson, a longtime reviewer for Publishers Weekly, recommended the first volume and described it as "an instant classic". Carlson listed the second volume as one of the best of 2006, but criticized the final volume for focusing mostly on Bethany's struggle as an aspiring artist instead of Matt and Christie's relationship.
Recognitions
Dramacon tied with Fred Gallagher's Megatokyo for About.com's Best Continuing OEL Manga of 2007. Dramacon was nominated for a 2006 Harvey Award, and a 2007 Will Eisner Award. It was also on the 2005 Publishers Weekly list of best comics, and YALSA picked it as one of the top graphic novels in 2007 for teens.

The government of Miami-Dade County is defined and authorized under the Constitution of Florida, Florida law, and the Home Rule Charter of Miami-Dade County.
Since its formation in 1957, Miami-Dade County, Florida has had a two-tier system of government. Under this system, Miami-Dade comprises a large unincorporated area and 34 incorporated areas or municipalities. Each municipality has its own government and provides such city-type services as police and zoning protection.
History
State voters amended the State of Florida's Constitution in 1956 to allow for a Home Rule Charter. Dade County was granted the power to create commission districts, pass ordinances, create penalties, levy and collect taxes to support a centralized metropolitan form of government. The Board of County Commissioners may create municipalities, special taxing districts and other boards or authorities as needed.
The Home Rule Charter for Miami-Dade County was adopted by referendum on May 21, 1957. This predates the 1968 revision to the Florida Constitution, which radically altered home rule.
On November 13, 1997 voters changed the name of the county from Dade to Miami-Dade to acknowledge the international name recognition of Miami.
Overview
Unlike a consolidated city-county, where the city and county governments merge into a single entity, these two entities remain separate. Instead there are two "tiers", or levels, of government: city and county. There are 34 municipalities in the county, the City of Miami being the largest.
Cities are the "lower tier" of local government, providing police and fire protection, zoning and code enforcement, and other typical city services within their jurisdiction. These services are paid for by city taxes. The County is the "upper tier", and it provides services of a metropolitan nature, such as emergency management, airport and seaport operations, public housing and health care services, transportation, environmental services, solid waste disposal etc. These are funded by county taxes, which are assessed on all incorporated and unincorporated areas.
Of the county's 2,751,796 total residents (as of 2017), approximately 44% live in unincorporated areas, the majority of which are heavily urbanized. These residents are part of the Unincorporated Municipal Services Area (UMSA). For these residents, the County fills the role of both lower- and upper-tier government, the County Commission acting as their lower-tier municipal representative body. Residents within UMSA pay an UMSA tax, equivalent to a city tax, which is used to provide County residents with equivalent city services (police, fire, zoning, water and sewer, etc.). Residents of incorporated areas do not pay UMSA tax.
Organization
An Executive Mayor and the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners (BCC) govern the County. The County's main administrative offices are located in the Stephen P. Clark Center (SPCC) at 111 NW 1ST Street in downtown Miami.
Mayor
The Mayor is elected through a countywide vote and is not a member of the Commission. The Mayor has the power to veto actions of the Commission within ten days of their adoption. The Mayor appoints the County Manager, subject to the approval within 14 days of a majority of Commissioners. Both the Mayor and the Commission have the power to remove a County Manager, requiring a two-thirds vote of Commissioners then in office. No one elected as Mayor may serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Each year the Mayor delivers a state of the county report (usually in January) and a budget address (usually in July). The post of mayor is currently held by Daniella Levine Cava.
Elected officers
The Miami-Dade County Attorney's Office provides legal representation to all aspects of Miami-Dade County government, including the Mayor and the 13-member Board of County Commissioners, the Property Appraiser, 25 county departments and numerous boards, authorities, councils and commissions. Abigail Price-Williams was appointed County Attorney effective October 2015. She previously served as First Assistant County Attorney from 2007 to 2015 and held the position of Acting County Attorney in 2007.
The Miami-Dade County Clerk is an elected constitutional officer as mandated by Article V, Section 16 of the Constitution of the State of Florida. The clerk serves as ex-officio clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, county recorder, county auditor, custodian of all county funds, custodian of all records filed with the Court. The Clerk is elected to a four-year term by the electorate of Miami-Dade County. In 1992, Harvey Ruvin was elected to the Office of Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts. He has been re-elected five times, leading the ballot in 2016 with the largest vote total in South Florida's history.
The Miami-Dade Clerk of the Board is an elected official who provides direct administrative support to the Board of County Commissioners. The Clerk provides checks and balances in County Government and presides as the County's public trustee. Harvey Ruvin is also Clerk of the Board.
The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser acts as the head of the Office of the Property Appraiser. The Office's primary responsibility is to identify and appraise all real and tangible personal property within the County and certify the annual tax roll with the Florida Department of Revenue in accordance with State law. Additional responsibilities include the maintenance of all associated property records, the administration of all exemptions, and the annual notification to all property owners in Miami-Dade County of the assessed value of their property. Pedro J. Garcia was first elected as Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser in 2008. After losing re-election in 2012 he was subsequently re-elected to office in a 2014 special election and was unopposed in the 2016 elections. He won re-election once again in 2020.
The Miami-Dade Inspector General has authority to review past, present and proposed County and Public Health Trust programs, accounts, records, contracts, and transactions. The OIG investigates allegations of fraud, waste, abuse and misconduct amongst public officials and County employees, as well as contractors and vendors doing business with the County. Felix Jimenez was appointed to the position of Inspector General by Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners on August 31, 2020.
Board of County Commissioners
The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners is the governing body of unincorporated Miami-Dade County and has broad regional powers to establish policies for Miami-Dade County services. The government provides major metropolitan services countywide and city-type services for residents of unincorporated areas.
One County Commissioner is elected from each of Miami-Dade County's 13 districts to serve a four-year term. Residents choose only from among candidates running in the district in which they live. Commissioners are chosen in non-partisan, single-district elections and can serve two four-year staggered terms, with elections scheduled every two years. The Commissioners elect a Chairperson, and the Chairperson appoints the members, chairperson and vice chairperson of all standing committees.
The BCC reviews and adopts comprehensive development plans for the county, licenses and regulates taxi, jitneys, limousines and rental cars; sets tolls and provide public transportation systems, regulate utilities, adopt and enforce building codes, establish zoning controls, provide public health facilities, cultural facilities, housing programs etc. Each Commissioner's salary is $6,000 per year.
The Commission can take no actions unless a majority of Commissioners currently serving in office is present. All meetings are public. The Commission may override a Mayor's veto at their next regularly scheduled meeting by a two-thirds vote of those present. District elections are held every four years, with the elections of Commissioners from even-numbered districts having taken place in 2014 and those from odd-numbered districts in 2016.
In November 2012, the Miami-Dade County Term Limit Amendment was approved, modifying the County charter to establish term limits of two consecutive four-year terms.

Norman William Loveridge (11 March 1892 – 21 October 1956) was the 141st New Zealand international rugby league player. He played one test for New Zealand against the touring England team in 1920 at fullback.
Early life
Norm Loveridge was born on 11 March 1892. His parents were Willie and Emma Loveridge. He was raised in New Plymouth, New Zealand and was a cousin of All Black George Loveridge.
Playing career
Rugby union
Loveridge began playing rugby for the Tukapa club in New Plymouth. His name first appears in their 1st junior side in 1914 and he played for them again in 1915.
It is unclear whether he continued playing over the ensuing years as there is no clear mention of his name in any teams, and during the war rugby competitions and particularly representative fixtures were not played as often as pre-war.
By 1919 he had moved to Wellington with his family where he began working on the Wellington trams. He played for the Athletic Club in the Wellington competition. He scored a try in a match against the Wellington Football Club. On 24 July he played for the Wellington Tramways Football Team in a game against the Star rugby side from Taranaki in New Plymouth. Loveridge was captain for the match which was played at Pukekura Park in Loveridge's home town. Loveridge scored a try and kicked a penalty in a 10–9 win in front of 1,000 people.
The Wellington Tramways team then moved on to Auckland where they beat the local side 11 to 3 to claim the Kohn Cup (played for among representative tramway sides) at Victoria Park.
They then drove in a series of cars down to Wanganui where they took on a Wanganui Tramway XV and won by 20 points to 3 with Loveridge scoring two tries, including one after securing the ball near Wanganui's 25m line and scoring "between the posts after a fine cutting in run".
Switch to rugby league
In 1920 Loveridge moved to Auckland. He began playing for the Marist Old Boys rugby league club where in his first game he was described as “the Wellington man”. He scored a try for them in a match against the Newton Rangers at Victoria Park which was drawn 5-5. In June he was listed in the reserves for the Auckland team to play the Rest of New Zealand team (also named South) but he did not take the field. He was again named in the Auckland reserves for the Auckland match against the touring England team but did not take the field.
After the resumption of the Auckland club competition Loveridge scored a try in a July match for Marist against Maritime after a “clever, dodgy run”. He was named in the New Zealand reserves for the first test against England but like the previous occasions he was not called on to play.
He played for North Island against England on 4 August at McLean Park in Napier. The North Island were thrashed 46 to 5 with Loveridge playing in the three-quarters. Then just three days later on 7 August Loveridge travelled to Christchurch to make his test debut for New Zealand. The match was played at Lancaster Park with 6,000 spectators present. New Zealand went down 19 to 3 with Loveridge playing at fullback. Loveridge's performance at fullback came in for some comment by the scribes of the time. The general consensus being that he was too hesitant in the fullback position and hung on to the ball too long. The writer for the Sun (Christchurch) said that he was “weak”, and that “he misjudged several kicks, and was tackled in possession on a number of occasions. In addition he missed his man two or three times through lack of determination”. The writer for the Star said that “Loveridge nearly had the team in difficulties through holding on too long. By a stroke of good luck however he was able to relieve the position by marking just in front of the posts”. The Lyttelton Times writer described a passage of play where “Loveridge failed to beat Wagstaff before kicking. He was collared, and it looked as if the Englishmen were likely to score” and later a passing rush by England “ended in Stone side stepping Loveridge and dashing over at the corner.
This was to be his only test match for New Zealand. In fact Loveridge did not even pull on the Auckland jersey. In 1921 and 1922 he continued to play for Marist in the Auckland Rugby League competition. He scored a try in a 27-15 win over Richmond at the Auckland Domain and he kicked five goals in other matches. Loveridge stopped playing for Marist at the end of this season and does not appear to have played again. In 1927 he was reinstated into rugby but it is unlikely that he pulled on the boots again officially due to work commitments and he was aged 35 by this point.
Personal life
Marriage and children
Norm Loveridge married Myrtle Francis Manley on 25 March 1913. They had a son, Darrell William (1913-1966), and another son, Raymond Louvain (1915-1921), however Raymond died at just six years of age. Six years later in 1919 they had a daughter named Veronica Myrtle Elizabeth (1918-1976).
In 1918 Loveridge was required to serve in the military but he appealed on the grounds of "undue hardship (family reasons)" with the case adjourned until the next sitting of the Wellington Military Service Board. Two weeks later they met again and decided to "recommend leave till the January draft". As the war ended in November 1918 there was to be no January draft. On 5 December 1920 the Loveridges had another son with the birth of Ian James (1921-1945). He was killed in World War II on 26 April 1945, aged 25. Ian was a wireless operator/air gunner for the RNZAF. He was on an aircraft which brought back one of the first groups of freed POWs. They had then taken off from Wing, in Buckinghamshire when it hit a tree just after taking off and crashed near Northampton.
In the early 1920s Norm Loveridge's wife obtained a separation order after he had failed to “maintain his wife”. They were then divorced, with Norm remarrying in 1926 to Helen Eliza Woodman (1893-1980).
Working life
In 1918 Loveridge was working as a tram conductor in Newtown, Wellington and living at 48 Owen Street. He represented the Wellington Tramways rugby team in 1919 on a Northern Tour to Taranaki, Auckland, and Wanganui. In 1926 after retirement from his playing days he began managing the Dixieland Cabaret at Point Chevalier. In November 1928 he was forced to step down as the manager due to ill health. He was said to be going to Sydney for a couple of months to recover and he hoped to return to work after that. In 1928 the census stated that he was living in Point Chevalier and working as a tea kiosk proprietor. In 1930 he was appointed the manager of the newly opening Peter Pan Cabaret in the Campbell Building on Rutland Street, Auckland central. The venue opened on 21 August of that year.
Death
After working in Auckland he moved to south Auckland and worked as a farmer. The 1935 census listed him as living at Paerata and working as a farmer which he did so through to at least 1938. From 1946 onwards he was farming in Drury. Norm Loveridge died on October 22 in 1956, aged 63 and was buried in Papakura.

"Wake Up" is a song by American rock band Rage Against the Machine. It is the seventh track from their self-titled debut album. While never released as a single, it remains a staple of their live shows and is usually played as the last song before the encore; the spoken word portion of the song, using a real memo from J. Edgar Hoover, is often replaced with a speech addressing contemporary issues, given by frontman Zack de la Rocha. It appears in the 1999 film The Matrix to punctuate the final scene, which has increased its exposure and cultural cachet.
Composition
The lyrics discuss racism within the American government and the counter-intelligence programs of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); a spoken portion of the song is taken from an actual FBI memo in which its director J. Edgar Hoover suggests targets for the suppression of the black nationalist movement. The song also makes references to prominent African-American figures targeted by the government such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., and goes as far as saying that the government arranged their assassinations.
The closing lines to the song are:
These lyrics refer to a speech made by Martin Luther King Jr., which paraphrases part of a well-known Bible verse, "whatever a man sows, this he will also reap" (Galatians 6:7). The speech was delivered at the end of the Selma to Montgomery March on the steps of the State Capitol Building in Montgomery, Alabama. The final lines in that speech read "How Long? Not long, because 'you shall reap what you sow'."
"Wake Up" is one of many songs by Rage Against the Machine that is played in drop D tuning on the guitar and bass.
Political speeches
In live performances, the band's frontman Zack de la Rocha often makes speeches about current issues in place of the segment where he reads the J. Edgar Hoover memo aloud. At the 2007 Coachella Festival, de la Rocha used this segment of the song to allege that the United States would start wars in other countries to suit its own purposes, citing a statement by Noam Chomsky regarding the Nuremberg Trials:
The event led to a media furor. A clip of his speech found its way to the Fox News Channel program Hannity & Colmes. An on-screen headline read, "Rock group 'Rage Against the Machine' says Bush admin should be shot." Ann Coulter (a guest on the show) quipped, "They're losers, their fans are losers, and there's a lot of violence coming from the left wing." Then Alan Colmes reminded Coulter when she said about former President Bill Clinton that "The only issue is whether to impeach or assassinate."
In response, during the band's performance at the Rock the Bells festival in New York City on July 28, de la Rocha doubled down on his remarks at Coachella, claiming the show had deliberately misrepresented his words:
On other occasions, de la Rocha has used this segment of the song to denounce the United States' handling of Hurricane Katrina, condemn globalism, urge solidarity among the lower classes against the wealthy elite, and express support for protesters in response to the Great Recession.
In other media
The song was used in the end credits of the 1999 feature film The Matrix and was also featured on its soundtrack. It is one of many songs in the soundtrack which fades-out rather than stops.
An orchestral cover of the song by musician Sebastian Bohm was featured in the trailer for the fourth installment of the franchise, The Matrix Resurrections. Another cover, performed by Brass Against, is featured over the film's end credits, mirroring its use in the original film.
The song is included on the soundtrack to the 2001 BMX video game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2.
The song appears in the debut episode of the ABC television series Dirty Sexy Money, first broadcast in 2007.
The song is used as the entrance song for New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman.

This is a list of Jamaican women's One-day international cricketers. Overall, 13 Jamaican women have played in at least one women's one-day international. A One Day International, or an ODI, is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status. An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings. The list is arranged in the order in which each player won her first ODI cap. Where more than one player won her first ODI cap in the same match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname.
All six of Jamaica women's ODI matches were played during the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup.

value such a variable “would have had”, and it is not clear that would
be desirable anyway. So GCC simply does not mention the eliminated
variable when it writes debugging information.
<p>You have to expect a certain amount of disagreement between the
executable and your source code, when you use optimization.
<p><a name="index-conflicting-types-4268"></a><a name="index-scope-of-declaration-4269"></a><li>Users often think it is a bug when GCC reports an error for code
like this:
<pre class="smallexample"> int foo (struct mumble *);
struct mumble { ... };
int foo (struct mumble *x)
{ ... }
</pre>
<p>This code really is erroneous, because the scope of <code>struct
mumble</code> in the prototype is limited to the argument list containing it.
It does not refer to the <code>struct mumble</code> defined with file scope
immediately below—they are two unrelated types with similar names in
different scopes.
<p>But in the definition of <code>foo</code>, the file-scope type is used
because that is available to be inherited. Thus, the definition and
the prototype do not match, and you get an error.
<p>This behavior may seem silly, but it's what the ISO standard specifies.
It is easy enough for you to make your code work by moving the
definition of <code>struct mumble</code> above the prototype. It's not worth
being incompatible with ISO C just to avoid an error for the example
shown above.
<li>Accesses to bit-fields even in volatile objects works by accessing larger
objects, such as a byte or a word. You cannot rely on what size of
object is accessed in order to read or write the bit-field; it may even
vary for a given bit-field according to the precise usage.
<p>If you care about controlling the amount of memory that is accessed, use
volatile but do not use bit-fields.
<li>GCC comes with shell scripts to fix certain known problems in system
header files. They install corrected copies of various header files in
a special directory where only GCC will normally look for them. The
scripts adapt to various systems by searching all the system header
files for the problem cases that we know about.
<p>If new system header files are installed, nothing automatically arranges
to update the corrected header files. They can be updated using the
<samp><span class="command">mkheaders</span></samp> script installed in
<samp><var>libexecdir</var><span class="file">/gcc/</span><var>target</var><span class="file">/</span><var>version</var><span class="file">/install-tools/</span></samp>.
<li><a name="index-floating-point-precision-4270"></a>On 68000 and x86 systems, for instance, you can get paradoxical results
if you test the precise values of floating point numbers. For example,
you can find that a floating point value which is not a NaN is not equal
to itself. This results from the fact that the floating point registers
hold a few more bits of precision than fit in a <code>double</code> in memory.
Compiled code moves values between memory and floating point registers
at its convenience, and moving them into memory truncates them.
<p><a name="index-ffloat_002dstore-4271"></a>You can partially avoid this problem by using the <samp><span class="option">-ffloat-store</span></samp>
option (see <a href="Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options">Optimize Options</a>).
<li>On AIX and other platforms without weak symbol support, templates
need to be instantiated explicitly and symbols for static members
of templates will not be generated.
<li>On AIX, GCC scans object files and library archives for static
constructors and destructors when linking an application before the
linker prunes unreferenced symbols. This is necessary to prevent the
AIX linker from mistakenly assuming that static constructor or
destructor are unused and removing them before the scanning can occur.
All static constructors and destructors found will be referenced even
though the modules in which they occur may not be used by the program.
This may lead to both increased executable size and unexpected symbol
references.

Harvest Gold is a 1945 Australian industrial film about a farmer who clings to old methods of production.
Synopsis
The film explores various aspects of mechanical farming, from clearing the land to harvesting, and deals with the clash of attitudes between McDougal, a farmer who favours old methods, and Johnson who supports new ways. Matters come to a head when a cyclone threatens McDougal's crop and Johnson comes to his assistance with his machines to help him harvest in time.
There is some comic relief and a romantic subplot.
Cast
Joe Valli as McDougal
Harry Abdy as Johnson
Tal Ordell as Mat
Leal Douglas as Mrs McDougal
Ethel Lang as Mrs Johnson
Bruce Beeby as Harry Johnson
Production
The film was the only feature directed by Mervyn Murphy who ran Supreme Sound Studios in Sydney for many years. It was produced under the auspices of the New South Wales Department of Agriculture and distributed by the oil company Caltex.
Shooting took place around Tamworth and Campbelltown, with interiors at Supreme's studio in North Sydney. The support of the Department of Agriculture enabled the use of film stock, which was rare because of the war.
Reception
The film was given a private screening to William McKell, then-Premier of New South Wales, and various members of his cabinet. It was distributed along with an educational booklet and screened widely in non-commercial outlets.

Baccharis brachyphylla is a North American species of shrub in the family Asteraceae, known by the common name shortleaf baccharis or false willow. It is native to the southwestern United States (southern California, southern Nevada, Arizona, southern New Mexico, and western Texas) and northern Mexico (Baja California, Chihuahua, Sonora). It grows in desert habitats such as arroyos and canyons.
This is a shrub producing erect, branching green stems up to a meter tall. The leaves are linear or thinly lance-shaped and less than long. The inflorescence is a wide array of flower heads. A dioecious species, the male and female plants produce different flower types which are similar in appearance. The flowers and foliage are glandular. Female flowers yield fruits which are ribbed achenes, each with a fuzzy body long and a pappus about long.

Bánh xèo (, ) is a crispy, stuffed rice pancake popular in Vietnam. The name refers to the sound (from xèo – 'sizzling') a thin layer of rice batter makes when it is poured into the hot skillet. It is a savoury fried pancake made of rice flour, water, and turmeric powder. It can also be called a Vietnamese crêpe. Some common stuffings include pork, prawns, diced green onion, mung bean, and bean sprouts. Bánh xèo is often served with sides. Usually, some commonly added ingredients include leafy greens like lettuces or perilla leaves, other herbs as flavor enhancers like mint leaves and Thai basil, cucumbers, and pickled vegetables, usually carrots and radishes. Lastly, its dipping sauce is Nước chấm (sweet and sour garlic fish sauce). Elements of each side and sauce add to the fresh-tasting fried Bánh Xèo.
History
Bánh Xèo is a traditional street food in Vietnam. The working class mainly ate it because it was cheap and easy. Its origins are unknown. However, Vietnamese people agreed that the creation of this dish could be somewhere in Central Vietnam through the fusion of French culture from the French colonial times or South Vietnam by migrating immigrants moving into Vietnam and mixing with the surrounding culture. Others believe Bánh Xèo came from mixing Cham culture and Vietnamese cuisine.
Through the years, Bánh Xèo has expanded to other nearby Southeast Asian countries like Cambodia and Thailand. Bánh Xèo is not a dish that’s fading into existence. Instead, it has become more popular as more affluent people started to realize its savory taste and new restaurants opening up like “Banh Xeo Muoi Xiem and An La Ghien,” stated Saigoneers in 2016.
On the 2nd and 16th of each lunar month, some Vietnamese people would substitute rice for Bánh Xèo.
Variations
Regional variations include:
Miền Trung (Central Vietnam) style Bánh Xèo tends to be smaller, about the size of a hand. Compared to the Miền Tây, the Miền Trung version has few fillings. Fillings include prawns, thin slices of pork, and bean sprouts. As well as being darker or not as yellow as other variations because of the addition of fermented shrimp paste, adding a distinct taste and color to the dish.
Miền Tây (Mekong Delta) style Bánh Xèo tends to be larger than the Miền Trung version, usually about the size of a small to medium size pizza, about 12-inch diameter. However, they are generally thinner. Miền Tây offers a more diverse range of ingredients and fillings. Because of this, the color of the Bánh Xèo is usually brighter as the batter with turmeric and coconut milk creates a colorful yellow dish. Fillings include prawns, pork belly, green onions, fried onions, and bean sprouts. There tends to be more filling in the Miền Tây version as there is more growth in the south than north of Vietnam.
Popularity
The dish is also popular in Cambodia, where the dish is called banh chao ().
There is also a Thai version of bánh xèo called Khanom bueang Yuan (). It is offered by some street vendors and is available at many Bangkok restaurants serving Thai or royal cuisine. The most common filling in Thailand is a minced mixture of shredded coconut, roasted peanuts, shrimp, salted radish and fried tofu and served with bean sprouts and sweet cucumber relish.

Thank You is a greatest hits collection released by the American alternative rock band Stone Temple Pilots on November 11, 2003 on Atlantic Records. The album has sold over 500,000 copies.
Overview
Thank You features most of the band's singles.
There are two versions of the compilation, one that only contains a music CD and another that also features a DVD with live performances, bootlegs (including a performance of the Aerosmith song "Sweet Emotion" with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry), and music videos spanning the band's career.
Thank You was called "nearly perfect" by AllMusic's Stephen Erlewine, who wrote that "STP made music that sounded great at the time and even better now" and that the band's music had "stood the test of time." Rolling Stone gave the compilation album 4 out of 5 stars.
Big Bang Babies
An earlier greatest hits album, to be titled Big Bang Babies, was planned for an October 2000 release. In addition to twelve of the band's biggest numbers, the album was to feature four new songs, including "Heed the Water Whisperer", "The Way She Moves" and "You Can't Drive Me Away". STP planned to record the new material in New York with producer Brendan O'Brien in mid-2000.

Andrée Belle (?–?) was a French painter.
Andrée Belle was born in Paris.
She was a pupil of Jean-Charles Cazin (1840–1901). She painted in oils and pastels, landscapes especially, of which she exhibited seventeen in June, 1902. The larger part of these were landscape portraits. The subjects were well represented, and the various hours of day, with characteristic lighting, unusually well rendered. At the Salon des Beaux Arts, 1902, this artist exhibited a large pastel, "A Halt at St. Mammes" and a "Souvenir of Bormes", showing the tomb of Cazin. In 1903, she exhibited a pastel called "Calvary," which became part of the collection of the Musée de Picardie at Amiens; it was praised for its harmony of color and the manner in which the rainbow is represented. Her pictures of "Twilight" and "Sunset " are unusually successful. She was a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

Bobbie Singer (born Tina Schosser, 22 February 1981, in Linz) is an Austrian singer, best known for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999.
Biography
Singer signed a record deal in 1996 at the age of 15, and released a single, "Egoistic", but this failed to chart. In 1999 she was chosen internally by broadcaster ORF, with the song "Reflection", as the Austrian representative for the 44th Eurovision Song Contest, which took place in Jerusalem on 29 May. On the night Singer gave an engaging performance and managed a tenth-place finish of 23 entries, coincidentally Austria's fourth tenth-place showing in ten years and the country's highest placing in the 1990s. "Reflection" went on to become Singer's only entry on the Austrian chart, placing at No. 30. In 2000, she recorded "Before I Die", the theme to horror film , but this was not a commercial success.
Singer withdrew from the stage around 2005 and is currently working as a producer/music composer and is furthermore performing as a studiosinger and speaker. In 2015, she gave birth to a daughter.

American singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande's music career began in 2008, when she contributed vocals to the cast recording of the musical 13. She subsequently went on to contribute to the soundtrack albums of the Nickelodeon TV sitcom Victorious, in which she also starred from 2010 to 2013. Three soundtrack albums were released between 2011 and 2012. In 2011, Grande also began to work as an independent artist outside of television, releasing "Put Your Hearts Up", a bubblegum pop song, the same year. Retrospectively, Grande has expressed dissatisfaction with the song, claiming it to be inauthentic to her artistry, resulting in its removal from YouTube. Following this, Republic Records granted Grande more creative control over the production of her debut album.
Yours Truly was released in September 2013. It was preceded by the release of her debut single, a R&B song called "The Way" featuring Mac Miller. The song was written by Miller, Harmony Samuels, Amber Streeter, Al Sherrod Lambert, Brenda Russell and American recording artist Jordin Sparks. Follow-up singles included the 1990s-R&B-influenced "Baby I", and "Right There" featuring Big Sean, which Grande stated served as a sequel to "The Way". Grande worked with Babyface on the album's opener "Honeymoon Avenue" and recorded a duet with Nathan Sykes called "Almost Is Never Enough". Christmas Kisses, Grande's first extended play, was released in December 2013. The EP, which consisted of four songs, was primarily Christmas music, and featured a collaboration with Elizabeth Gillies.
Grande's second studio album, My Everything, was released in August 2014. The lead single, "Problem" featured Iggy Azalea and Big Sean (uncredited) and incorporated elements of jazz and funk. "Break Free" is an EDM song produced by Zedd, which Grande considered experimental for her as it deviated from her usual pop-R&B styles. "Break Your Heart Right Back", featuring Childish Gambino, utilized two samples: "Mo Money Mo Problems" by The Notorious B.I.G. and "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross. Other contributing songwriters and producers on My Everything included Ryan Tedder and David Guetta, who composed "One Last Time", and Harry Styles former member of British boyband One Direction, who co-wrote "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart". In November 2014, Grande was featured on Major Lazer's song "All My Love", which was included on the soundtrack to the film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014). The same month, Grande released a Christmas song titled "Santa Tell Me".
Grande's third studio album Dangerous Woman, was released in May 2016. Initially titled Moonlight, development on the album began in 2015. The album's intended lead single "Focus" was released in October 2015. It was ultimately scrapped from the record, although the song would later serve as a bonus track on the Japanese deluxe edition. Grande replaced it with the title track, which incorporated an arena rock chorus and a guitar solo during its bridge, followed by "Into You" and "Side to Side", featuring Nicki Minaj, a dancehall and reggae-pop song. Promotional singles included "Be Alright" and "Let Me Love You" featuring Lil Wayne. The album also featured collaborations with Macy Gray and Future, who was featured on the fourth and final single "Everyday", released in January 2017. The album and its singles were commercially successful, landing in the top ten of most countries worldwide.
Grande's fourth studio album, Sweetener, was released in August 2018 to universal acclaim. The lead single, "No Tears Left to Cry", which incorporated a UK garage beat, was released in April 2018 and was followed by "God Is a Woman", a predominantly mid-tempo pop song with trap elements, in July of the same year. Grande also teamed up again with Minaj on "The Light Is Coming", which served as the album's sole promotional single in June. "Breathin", a dance-pop song containing influences of synth-pop was released as the third single in September. Sonically, Sweetener was considered highly experimental for Grande, consisting primarily of pop, R&B, and trap songs, with heavily incorporated elements of house, funk, neo soul and hip-hop. The album and its singles reached top ten positions of several countries globally, and became Grande's most well-received record up to that point.
Grande's fifth studio album, Thank U, Next, was released in February 2019. Co-writing all 12 of its tracks, Thank U, Next was considered Grande's most personal record up to that point. The album earned praise for its vulnerability and cohesiveness, while its songs heavily incorporated hip hop. It peaked at atop the US Billboard 200 albums chart for two weeks. The album spawned the international number-one hits "Thank U, Next", "7 Rings" and "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored". In the US, Grande became the only artist since The Beatles to simultaneously occupy the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 with the aforementioned singles. Additionally, all of the album's tracks charted within the top fifty simultaneously. With this album, Grande opted to work on the album with collaborators with shared rapport, such as frequent contributors Victoria Monét, Max Martin, Ilya and Tommy Brown.
In October 2020, Grande released her sixth studio album Positions, which delved deeper into R&B whilst maintaining pop styles. For the album's production, Grande worked primarily with Brown, while also enlisting producers she had never worked with in her career, including London on da Track, Murda Beatz and Scott Storch. Collaborators include Doja Cat, The Weeknd and Ty Dolla Sign, with Megan Thee Stallion appearing on the deluxe edition. It spawned three singles; the title track, "34+35" and "POV". Recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, Grande developed the album with focus on her vocals and to convey emotional healing.

An Am star or metallic-line star is a type of chemically peculiar star of spectral type A whose spectrum has strong and often variable absorption lines of metals such as zinc, strontium, zirconium, and barium, and deficiencies of others, such as calcium and scandium. The original definition of an Am star was one in which the star shows "an apparent surface underabundance of Ca (and/or Sc) and/or an apparent overabundance of the Fe group and heavier elements".
The unusual relative abundances cause the spectral type assessed from the Calcium K lines to be systematically earlier than one assessed from other metallic lines. Typically, a spectral type judged solely from hydrogen lines is intermediate. This leads to two or three spectral types being given. For example, Sirius has been given a spectral type of kA0hA0VmA1, indicating that it is A0 when judged by the Calcium k line, A0V when judged by its hydrogen lines, and A1 when judged by the lines of heavy metals. There are other formats, such as A0mA1Va, again for Sirius.
The chemical abnormalities are due to some elements which absorb more light being pushed towards the surface, while others sink under the force of gravity. This effect takes place only if the star has low rotational velocity. Normally, A-type stars rotate quickly. Most Am stars form part of a binary system in which the rotation of the stars has been slowed by tidal braking.
The best-known metallic-line star is Sirius (α Canis Majoris). The following table lists some metallic-line stars in order of descending apparent visual magnitude.
List
δ Delphini and ρ Puppis
A small number of Am stars show unusually late spectral types and particularly strong luminosity effects. Although Am stars in general show abnormal luminosity effects, stars such as ρ Puppis are believed to be more evolved and more luminous than most Am stars, lying above the main sequence. Am stars and δ Scuti variables lie in approximately the same location on the H–R diagram, but it is rare for a star to be both an Am star and a δ Scuti variable. ρ Puppis is one example and δ Delphini is another.
Several authors have referred to a class of stars known as δ Delphini stars, Am stars but with relatively little difference between the calcium and other metallic lines. They have also been compared to the δ Scuti stars. Later studies showed that the group was somewhat inhomogeneous, possibly coincidental, and recommended dropping use of the δ Delphini class in favour of a narrower class of ρ Puppis stars with relatively high luminosity and late spectral types. However, there is still sometimes confusion, for example with ρ Puppis stars being considered to all be δ Scuti variables.

The 2022 Asian U18 Athletics Championships was the fourth edition of the biennial, continental athletics competition for Asian athletes aged 15 to 17. It was held at the Ahmed Al Rashdan Track & Field Stadium in Kuwait City from 13 to 16 October 2022.
History of Asian Youth Athletics Championship
The Asian Youth Athletics Championships (U18) (Asian Youth U18 Athletics Championships) is a biennial, continental athletics competition for Asian athletes, organised by the Asian Athletics Association. First held in 2015, it is a youth category event open to athletes aged fifteen and seventeen. The competition was the fourth continental athletics competition to be held for that age level, following in the steps of the South American, Oceanian and African events. Its first edition came at a time of rising interest in such competitions, with the first African championships being held in 2013, and the European Athletics Youth Championships scheduled for the following year. In March 2014, the Asian Athletics Association's president Dahlan Jumaan al-Hamad cited the creation of the championships as a way of boosting the grassroots-level development of the sport in Asia and raising the importance of continental-level competition among the region's countries.

Manasse Tyiseseta (25 April 1850, Otjimbingwe – 17 April 1898, Omaruru) was the leader of a group of Herero with their headquarters in Omaruru in what is today Namibia.
Life
Tyiseseta studied at the Augustineum Secondary School in Otjimbingwe. In 1867, he journeyed with Christian Wilhelm Zeraua to Omaruru. Manasse taught at the local school from 1871 to 1882.
Tyiseseta married Zeraua's daughter Albertina Tjiseseta Zeraua (1851–1951). They had 3 children: Michael Tyiseseta (1872–1924), Hugo Tyiseseta (1877–1951), and Charlotte Tyiseseta Zeraua (1881–1951).
Victor Franke claimed that during the rinderpest epidemic of 1897, Tyiseseta would not allow his cattle to be vaccinated.
Tyiseseta died on 17 April 1898 of typhoid. His grave is located next to that of Christian Zeraua in the cemetery of Omaruru.
Leadership
Tyiseseta was the half brother of chief Tjaherani (tenure: 1860–1884). After the deaths of Tjaherani and Christian Wilhelm Zeraua in 1884, Tyiseseta became the Herero leader of Omaruru. He signed a treaty of protection on 3 November 1885 with Heinrich Ernst Göring and the German Empire. The missionaries Carl Gotthilf Büttner and Gottlieb Viehe were also present.
Tyiseseta kept his tribe independent of the Germans and the chieftain Samuel Maharero for many years. trading with South Africa for weapons, ammo, and other goods. He had his own armed forces.
Samuel Maharero was named the chief Herero leader under German auspices in Augustus 1891, but other chiefs objected. That November 26, Theodor Leutwein negotiated a meeting between Samuel Maharero and Zacharias Zeraua, both agreeing to meet with Tyiseseta. From then on, Tyiseseta's political dominance was backed up by German military might.

The Human Chain for Basque Self-determination, 2018 took place on 10 June in the Basque Autonomous Community of Spain organized by the movement Gure Esku Dago ("It is in our hands") advocating for a self-determination vote with an independence option. It counted on the active support of the Basque National Party (PNV), EH Bildu, and Elkarrekin Podemos, the main forces of the autonomous region.
The human chain held on Sunday connected at noon the cities of Donostia (San Sebastián), Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz, extending for 202 kilometres (125 miles), gathering approximately 175,000 protesters. It relied on the support of 5,000 volunteers and drew on the use of 1,000 coaches for transportation. The event was attended, among others, by Juan Mari Aburto, mayor of Bilbao, and senior PNV officials Andoni Ortuzar and Itxaso Atutxa. However, the lehendakari Iñigo Urkullu (the region's premier) did not take a clear position on the initiative.
The organizers drafted a document they handed over to the Basque Parliament with a seat in Vitoria-Gasteiz demanding it open the avenues necessary to carry out the vote including an independence option. The 1978 Spanish Constitution forbids independence inasmuch as it states that "Spain is one and indivisible".

John Young (1797 – 23 March 1877) was an English architect and surveyor whose career spanned the grace of the Regency period and the pragmatism of the Industrial Revolution. While based primarily in the City of London, his practice, John Young & Son, Architects, was both eclectic and wide-ranging in South East England. He is particularly noted for his creative use of polychromatic brickwork whether in industrial, civic or residential contexts.
Early career
Nothing is known about his early life in Suffolk, save that he was a Catholic, until Young came to London at the age of twenty two and became assistant to the ageing William Porden. He next assisted the prolific architectural prodigy and member of Nash's circle, Decimus Burton, by preparing in 1823 the drawings for the London Colosseum in Regent's Park and supervising the framing of the dome. A period followed in the employ of Thomas Cubitt creating the houses in Eaton Square and the Pimlico Estate. His own practice opened at 46 Clarges Street, Piccadilly. In 1828 he published a book of 'Shopfronts, Porticos and Entrances ...', which would have served as a catalogue of the time. On 1 January 1828 he married Caroline Pettis at St. George's, Hanover Square. By 1830, the first of their nine children, John Edgar who would later join his practice, was born.
City Surveyor
He was Principal Assistant to William Montague, Clerk of the City's Works at the Guildhall and on his death, appointed by the Corporation of London locum tenens Clerk. He was subsequently District Surveyor of the Eastern Division of the City for twenty five years. If not destined for celebrity status in the architectural profession, his reputation as a highly skilled and safe pair of hands, meant the Lindsay family's solicitor insisted he supervise the three architects, including Lewis Vulliamy, building their luxury residence at 10 Grosvenor Square. He was, however, photographed by society photographer, Henry Maull. Alongside survey work, Young moved his practice, John Young & Son, Architects to 35 King Street, Cheapside. Immediately prior to 1843 when Young built his family home in Stoke Newington, the family are known to have lived in Thomas Cubitt's Albion Road in North London.
Projects
By 1845 he was architect and surveyor to the City and Camden Town (Birmingham Junction) Railway Company and continued with extensive design projects: The Ebbw Vale Co. in Dowgate by the Thames Docks, 1845, The Religious Tract Society's quarters at 56 Paternoster Row, 12 Little Britain, schools in Cripplegate, Tower Hill and Hackney. In the City, his striking warehouse at 23–25, Eastcheap on the corner with Philpot Lane, in Lombardic Gothic style, survives singled out by Pevsner as 'exceptional'. He was responsible for many improvements in the City of London. Outside the City, he designed the original Cancer Hospital in Fulham Road in 1859. Edward Walford described the hospital thus: The building, which was founded in 1851, is constructed of plain white Suffolk bricks, relieved with bands of red bricks, and keystones and cornices of terra-cotta. The principal ground floor, approached by a flight of steps, contains the hall and a handsome stone staircase, apartments for the house surgeon and medical officers, and wards for patients.
Down the Old Brompton Road, Young designed shops and terraced houses for the professional and working class influx in Fulham, Richmond (now Empress) Place, birth place in 1876 of composer, William Hurlstone, and along the Richmond (Lillie) Road, 1863–1866, residences in Roehampton, and cottages in Pear Gardens, Southwark. Among the country mansions he designed is the Italianate Laughton Park in East Sussex for Sir James Duke, Lord Mayor of London. He restored churches in his native Suffolk.
Young's assistants included Alfred Millwood, David Mocatta and Frederick Hyde Pownall from 1862 to 1867.
Legacy
Young was widowed in 1873, however, he was still working in 1875 surveying dangerous structures in the City as is attested by the Metropolitan Board of Works. Apart from the strikingly ornate civic and commercial buildings he designed, Young's legacy, especially in the City of London, was to ensure in his role as surveyor, that buildings falling into disrepair would be adequately put right and on several occasions, he asked for 'substitutions' with surveyor colleagues so that he could personally superintend the repairs as an architect, notably in Houndsditch and Cannon Street. John Young left a quiet token of his sense of humour in the carved mice on the parapet of a warehouse in Eastcheap. He died at home in St Mary's Lodge in March 1877. He and his wife were buried in the churchyard of St. Mary Stoke Newington. His son, John, continued John Young & Son, specialising in civic and church architecture, designing churches such as St Mary and St Modwen Church, Burton-on-Trent. He was a friend of the novelist, George Thackeray and became a Fellow of the British Institute of Architects, a distinction that had eluded his energetic father. John Young Junior died in 1910 in Brentwood, Essex.

The 2015 San Diego Aviators season was the 21st season of the franchise in World TeamTennis (WTT) and its second playing in San Diego County, California.
After a successful inaugural season in San Diego in which the team had the best regular-season record in WTT, the Aviators had 5 wins and 9 losses, finished third in the Western Conference and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Season recap
New ownership
On December 18, 2014, the Aviators announced that Fred Luddy and Jack McGrory, formerly minority owners, had acquired control of the team from Russell Geyser. According to the team's website as of January 2015, Luddy became the majority owner, Geyser retained a minority stake, and team CEO Billy Berger acquired a minority interest in the team. Shelly Hall, who was the onetime general manager of the San Diego Friars and served in that position for the Aviators in 2014, was no longer listed as part of the team's staff. As of March 2015, Geyser was no longer listed on the team's website as one of the team's minority owners.
Move to Carlsbad
On December 29, 2014, the Aviators announced that the team would move its home matches to the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in nearby Carlsbad for the 2015 season.
New logo
On January 6, 2015, the Aviators unveiled their new logo on their Facebook page. In a significant change from the multicolored logo used in 2014, the new logo contains only thunderbird red and white.
Lloyd hired as coach
On March 3, 2015, the Aviators announced that John Lloyd had been hired as the team's new head coach to replace 2014 WTT Coach of the Year David Macpherson, who had expressed a desire to coach in the Sacramento metropolitan area with the newly-relocated California Dream. When Macpherson was later introduced as the Dream's new head coach, he said, "I’m very excited to be coaching in the city where I started my WTT career back in 1992."
Trade of Bryan brothers and draft
Since David Macpherson had long served as the coach for the Bryan brothers, it was inevitable that the twins would want to follow him just as they did when he was hired as the Aviators' head coach in 2014. Consequently, prior to the WTT draft on March 16, 2015, the Aviators traded Bob and Mike Bryan to the Dream for financial consideration. The Aviators did not protect 2014 WTT Female Most Valuable Player Daniela Hantuchová in the marquee portion of the draft. Madison Keys was assigned to the Aviators as a league-designated player, and they selected her as their only marquee draft pick. In the roster portion of the draft, the Aviators protected Raven Klaasen and Květa Peschke. They did not protect 2014 WTT Male Rookie of the Year Somdev Devvarman. The Aviators selected amateur Taylor Fritz and Chanelle Scheepers in the roster portion of the draft. Fritz was the only amateur player selected in the 2015 WTT draft.
Other player transactions
On June 26, 2015, the Aviators began listing Darija Jurak as a member of the team, and Květa Peschke was removed from the active roster. In posts on both Facebook and Twitter, Jurak was referred to as a member of the team. The Facebook post included a photograph of Jurak. The roster on the team's website no longer listed Peschke. Initially, no explanation was given by the Aviators for Peschke's departure from the team. The final reference to Peschke as a member of the Aviators was in a tweet on June 3, 2015, in which a photograph of her was included in a collage of pictures of the team. Although an image of Peschke appeared in a tweet by the Aviators on June 3, team rosters released by WTT to the press on the previous day, listed Jurak and not Peschke as a member of the Aviators. In a Facebook comment on July 6, 2015, the Aviators disclosed that Peschke was injured and unable to play for the team during the 2015 season. Peschke is the final player still with the team who also played for the New York Sportimes prior to the franchise's move to San Diego. Pursuant to WTT Rule 308F, Peschke may be protected by the Aviators in the 2016 WTT Draft, since she was eligible for protection in 2015, and she was injured before the 2015 season and unable to play.
On July 29, 2015, the Aviators added Daniel Nguyen to their roster as a substitute player.
Blake coaches opening match
On June 29, 2015, the Aviators announced that James Blake would coach the team in its season-opening match on July 12, at home against the California Dream. Following that match, John Lloyd served as the Aviators coach for the remainder of the season.
In the days leading up to the season opener, the Aviators hinted in social media posts that there was a surprise in store. Just hours before the opening match, the Aviators announced that Blake would not only coach the team, but he would also play.
In what was the inaugural match for the Dream after the franchise's move from Texas and the first match for the Aviators on their new home court, San Diego prevailed with a 24–19 victory. Chanelle Scheepers opened the match by taking the women's singles and closed it by teaming with Darija Jurak for a set win in women's doubles. Blake failed to win the men's singles set (the only set the Aviators dropped), but he came back paired with Raven Klaasen for a solid win in men's doubles. Klaasen and Jurak took the mixed doubles.
Aviators miss the playoffs
The Aviators started the season strong, winning three of their first four matches. However, they followed this with a five-match losing streak that was capped off by losses on consecutive evenings in a home-and-home series with the California Dream with whom they were contending for a playoff berth. In the second loss to the Dream, the Aviators took an 18–15 lead into the final set. But former Aviators Bob and Mike Bryan teamed up to take the final set of men's doubles, 5–1, for a 20–19 Dream victory. The loss dropped the Aviators' record to 3 wins and 6 losses.
The Aviators ended their losing streak with their finest performance of the season. They swept all five sets on the road against the Springfield Lasers, the team that had beaten them in the previous season's Western Conference Championship Match. Amateur Taylor Fritz closed out the match with a 5–4 men's singles set win over John Isner after earlier teaming with Raven Klaasen for a 5–4 me's doubles set win over Isner and Andre Begemann. Klaasen and Darija Jurak got the Aviators started with a 5–4 mixed doubles set win. Chanelle Scheepers took the second set, 5–3, and teamed with Jurak in the fourth set of women's doubles for another 5–3 set win.
The following evening, the Aviators were dominated by the Austin Aces, 25–8. They were shut out in both the women's singles and women's doubles sets. A bit more than two hours later, the Aviators were eliminated from playoff contention when the Dream completed its victory over the Philadelphia Freedoms.

Draft picks
Since the Aviators had the better record of the two conference championship losers in 2014, they selected third from the bottom in each round of the draft. Unlike previous seasons in which WTT conducted its Marquee Player Draft and its Roster Player Draft on different dates about one month apart, the league conducted a single draft at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California on March 16, 2015. The selections made by the Aviators are shown in the table below.
