Fraternitas Baltica was a Baltic-German fraternity founded in Riga. Its motto was Freundschaft, Frohsinn, Tugend, Wissen - soll man nie bei den Balten missen. (Friendship, Happiness, Virtue and Knowledge, these are the things that none of Balts should miss.) and In Treuen fest (Strong in confidence).
History
Fraternitas Baltica was founded in Rīga Polytechnic Institute, as Fraternitas Polytechnici Baltici. In 1867 Fraternitas Baltica with students founded General Polytechnic Convention (APC), which led the social life in Polytechnic Institute. In 1869 after disagreements, many students left the fraternity and founded Concordia Rigensis, which is still working today. At the time of WWI, when RPI evacuated to Moscow, fraternity suspended activity.
After World War I, in 1918 Fraternitas Baltica restored operations as a part of Baltic Technical College. Later that year, a decision was made that all of the active members have to join Baltic-German military units.
In 1920 F-B was registered as a fraternity of University of Latvia, and it was admitted in Fraternity Presidium Convent (P!K!), which Fraternitas Baltica left in 1932, as a protest for decision to use only Latvian language in their meetings. In 1932 after U.L.'s decision it was closed as a fraternity, but still existed as a society, keeping the name "fraternity". In 1938 Fraternitas Baltica ceased active operations, but in 1939 was closed completely with all of the members going to Germany.
In 1959, Fraternitas Baltica and other Baltic-German fraternity philisters participated in founding of Curonia Goettingensis, which is later declared as a Baltic fraternity traditions continuation.

Elena Spirgevičiūtė (22 December 1924 – 4 January 1944) was a Lithuanian student. She was shot and killed by Soviet partisans for refusing to satisfy them sexually. One of the four men, Alfonsas Čeponis was posthumously recognized as the Hero of the Soviet Union. She was a devoted Catholic and is recognized as a Servant of God. Her beatification case was initiated by the Archdiocese of Kaunas in 2000.
Biography
Spirgevičiūtė was born in Kaunas into a family of Lithuanian workers. She was the oldest of three children. She began attending school at the age of seven and later joined the scouts movement. After finishing her primary studies, Elena was enrolled at the Saulė Society Girls’ Gymnasium of Kaunas, directed by the Sisters of Saint Casimir. During the school years, she kept a diary from 2 October 1940 to 2 June 1942 which reflected her ordinary day-to-day life and connection to God. She graduated in 1943 and wanted to study medicine at the Vytautas Magnus University, but the university was closed by the occupying German authorities. She then took courses in German and French hoping to become a teacher. In fall 1943, she received a teaching assignment in Jonava, but decided to remain home due to the ongoing war.
At about 10pm on 3 January 1944, four men gained entry into Spirgevičius's home by claiming to be police officers. These Soviet partisans demanded to be given food and drank vodka that they brought. They pocketed any valuables and began harassing women for sex. Stasė Žukaitė, Spirgevičiūtė's aunt and neighbor born in 1916, heard the noise and came to investigate. When she tried to run away to get help, she was shot and killed. The men raped Spirgevičiūtė's mother and threatened Spirgevičiūtė to give in to their advances. However, she steadfastly refused. Reportedly, her last words were "Only I will die, you will live" () to her family. She was shot under the right eye. Since her right hand was grazed by the bullet, it is believed that she was crossing herself.
The murders attracted public attention. The funeral was attended by a crowd of people; an obituary of the two women was published in Kaunas daily Ateitis. They were buried in the old Kaunas city cemetery. When it was transformed into the Ramybė Park, they were reburied in the Eiguliai cemetery.
Soviet investigation
In July 1958, on the 40th anniversary of the Komsomol, three members of the Komsomol from Kaunas were posthumously recognized as the Heroes of the Soviet Union, the highest military award in the Soviet Union. Among them were Alfonsas Čeponis, a Soviet partisan killed by the Gestapo on 24 January 1944. Spirgevičiūtė's mother sent a complaint to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union protesting the award as Čeponis was one of the four men who raped her and killed her daughter and sister. The complaint was investigated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Lithuania.
The investigation acknowledged that Čeponis, a member of the Death to the Occupiers partisan group, participated in the incident. The other participants were Fedor Semenovich Tsabizov (codename Iurka), Mikhail Nikolaevich Lukianov (codename Mishka), and an unidentified partisan known only by his codename Grishka (all were killed during the war). While the report acknowledged "occasional breaches of partisan discipline", the "operation" was justified as a wartime necessity to secure food supplies. The murders of Spirgevičiūtė and Žukaitė, both attributed to Grishka, were justified "due to their links with the police" and "as an act of self-defence".
Legacy
Priest Pranas Račiūnas became interested in Spirgevičiūtė's life, collected information about her, and made several copies of her diary. However, he was arrested by the MGB in 1949 and sentenced to 25 years in Gulag. In 1977, the illegal Chronicle of the Catholic Church in Lithuania mentioned Spirgevičiūtė as a martyr. In 1984, the 40th anniversary of her death, priest Krizantas Juknevičius began collecting data for her beatification. After Lithuania regained independence in 1990, it became possible to publicly commemorate Spirgevičiūtė. In 1990, Juknevičius affixed a memorial plaque with inscription It is better to die than to sin () to the Church of St. Anthony of Padua in Kaunas. In 1992, her brother published a book Mirtis atėjo iš Muravos (Death Came from Murava) about Spirgevičiūtė and her murder. In October 1998, her brother erected a statue of an angel at the location of the house where Spirgevičiūtė was killed.
The Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the decree nihil obstat for her beatification process on 22 October 1999. In January 2000, the Archdiocese of Kaunas under the leadership of Archbishop Sigitas Tamkevičius officially opened her beatification case.

Rodger Mack (1938, Barberton, Ohio – 2002, Syracuse, New York) was an American sculptor, painter, ceramic artist and educator. He is best known for his large-scale bronze and steel sculptures. His works are featured in national and international museums and gallery collections including MACBA - Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, Arkansas Art Center, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, the Oscar Krasner Gallery, and the Grand Valley State University collection.
Mack was a faculty member for more than thirty years at Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. He served as the school’s first director from 1982-91.
As an alumnus of the Triangle Arts Association, Mack worked with notable artists such as Anthony Caro, Jaume Plensa, and Helen Frankenthaler. The Spanish/Canadian artist Jesús Carles de Vilallonga travelled to Syracuse to study with Mack and produced several sculptures in bronze and aluminum under his tutelage.
Mack's work and process has been featured in books such as Launching the Imagination: A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Design by Mary Stewart and American Ceramics: The Collection of Everson Museum of Art edited by Barbara Perry and published by Rizzoli International Publications.
A documentary film entitled "A Resonant Chord — Rodger Mack and the Creative Process" features his art and philosophy. It was produced by the Syracuse Alternative Media Network and features original music by Marc Mellits and Edward Ruchalski. The film was commissioned by the Society for New Music in 2014.
Life and career
Rodger Mack was born on November 8, 1938, in Barberton, Ohio. He enrolled at the Cleveland Institute of Art as an industrial design student, and he was intent on using what he learned in college to advance in a career of car design. Yet after a summer job at General Motors, where Mack realized that sculptors did not actually get to design the cars, just make three-dimensional models based on designs produced by someone else, he decided that perhaps car design was not for him. Mack received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Arts in 1961, and his Master of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in sculpture from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan in 1963. After graduating with his master's degree, Mack received a Fulbright Scholarship. This allowed him to travel to Florence between 1963 and 1964 to further his art education. While in Florence, Mack learned multiple casting techniques and created sixteen cast-bronze sculptures at the Bruno Bearzi Foundry.
Shortly after Mack's return from Florence, the governor of Arkansas asked him to help found the Arkansas Art Center, which offered a BFA degree program. Mack taught drawing, three-dimensional design, and ceramics, and also constructed a foundry with the help of students. After four years, however, the BFA program was terminated, and he elected to move on to other endeavors.
In 1968 Syracuse University hired Mack as a sculpture professor. He received tenure in 1971, just a few short years after he began teaching, and between 1982 and 1991 Mack served as the director of the university's School of Art and Design in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. During this time Mack played an integral role in the creation of the Comstock Art Facility, which provided studio space for all sculpture students to work under a single roof, along with art students working in other media. He also helped to enhance the sculpture program's enrollment size and reputation. Many viewed Mack as one of the most important bronze sculptors in the country, and it was his presence at Syracuse University that drew many students to the program. After stepping down from his position as the director of the School of Art, Mack returned to teaching full-time. Syracuse University officially recognized his excellence as a professor multiple times. In 1991 Mack received the Chancellor's Citation for Exceptional Academic Achievement, and in 1999 he received an Outstanding Faculty Award from the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
Mack became famous for his large-scale bronze and steel sculptures, described by one newspaper reporter as “graceful, winding, and abstract.” The artist drew inspiration for his sculptures from his every day experiences, finding creative expression in anything from the shape of a shadow on the surface of an object to musical compositions. Throughout his lifetime Mack exhibited his work nationally and internationally, and his sculptures were bought by many museums, including the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse and the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York. He had a large number of solo exhibitions in New York City, many held at the Krasner Gallery.

Storylines
The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines.

The match was scheduled to be a bullrope match, however during the match Funk stated he was changing the match to an "I Quit" match. Although Funk was about to get Rhodes to quit the referee stated that Funk did not have the authority to change the match stipulation.
The following match was a Lumberjack match between Sting and The Total Package. The lumberjacks for the match were: Jimmy Hart, Curt Hennig, Doug Dillinger, Fit Finlay, Brian Knobbs, Vampiro, Ron Harris, Don Harris, Stevie Ray, Big T and Hugh Morrus. Sting's lumberjacks had casts on their hands that were broken by Luger in the past. Package's lumberjacks had fake casts on their arm to mock and have the same advantage as Sting's lumberjacks. During the match, Tank Abbott came down to ringside and punched Doug Dillinger in the face. During the match, Ric Flair and Elizabeth interfered trying to attack Sting, but were both taken down by Jimmy Hart and Vampiro. Ultimately Sting was able to defeat Luger via pinfall following the Scorpion Death Drop.
During the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match, Sid Vicious retained his title against Jeff Jarrett. After Jarrett hit Sid with the Guitar, Hulk Hogan interrupted the referee's count and attacked Jarrett. Scott Steiner, after having not appeared on TV for 2 months, made a surprise return attacking Hogan. Ric Flair immediately came out and started his scheduled Yappapi Indian Strap match with Hogan. Hogan was ultimately able to pin Flair despite outside interference from Lex Luger.
Reception
In 2007, Arnold Furious of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 1.5 [Extremely Horrendous], stating, "I’m nearing the end of my WCW coverage and it’s about damn time. The shows are genuinely getting worse with Booker/Kidman v Harlem Heat scoring MOTN here at *1/2. That’s just sad. If you see WCW on a tape and then 2000 after the initials then the show sucks. Avoid at all costs."

Malaysiakini (meaning in English: "Malaysia Now") is the first online news portal in Malaysia and is published in Malay, English, Chinese and Tamil. It is ranked among the most read news portals in Malaysia. Malaysiakini is unaffiliated with Malaysianow - a much smaller news website that uses the English translation of Malaysiakini as its name.
At the time of its founding in 1999, traditional print and broadcast media were tightly regulated and controlled by the Barisan Nasional government. Malaysiakini has attempted and largely succeeded in achieving an independent voice by allowing editors and journalists the full freedom to practice professional and ethical journalism, without interference and restrictions from the shareholders, advertisers or government.
History
Founding
Malaysiakini was founded by Premesh Chandran and Steven Gan in November 1999. Frustrated with the constraints that they experienced while working for The Sun newspaper, Premesh and Gan decided to use the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) pledge to create a space for uncensored journalism.
The site began with a staff of five journalists and a starting budget of $100,000, raised with the initial versions of the publication prepared by Premesh. Premesh served as CEO, and Gan served as its editor-in-chief. For its first story, Malaysiakini posted a report on 20 November criticising the practices of Sin Chew Daily, Malaysia's largest-circulation Chinese-language newspaper. It was reported that Sin Chew Daily had doctored a photograph of Malaysia's ruling party to remove Anwar Ibrahim, who then had recently been imprisoned for corruption.
According to BBC News, the Malaysiakini report led to "worldwide infamy" for Sin Chew Daily, and the newspaper later issued a public apology. In April 2001, Malaysiakini made news again when it discovered and reported the secret detention of 10 political activists for participating in a rally in favour of the imprisoned former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Print permit rejection
Malaysiakini applied in 2010 for a license to circulate its content in print as a newspaper, which was rejected by the Home Ministry. It successfully appealed in the High Court and the High Court judged that Malaysiakini was to be issued a publication permit. The Home Ministry appealed the High Court decision in the Court of Appeal. The appeal was dismissed. Legally victorious, the newspaper requested the Home Ministry again for a permit. However, the application was rejected again.
Leadership transition
After leading Malaysiakini’s newsroom for 23 years, Gan stepped down as the news portal's editor-in-chief in January 2023.
“It has always been my intention to give way to the next generation when they are ready. The time has come,” Gan said, who also cited an eye ailment, which made it difficult to continue his work. He now occupies the nominal role of editor-at-large.
Similarly, co-founder Premesh stepped back from his role as Malaysiakini's chief executive officer in 2022.
While the co-founders now have reduced roles in the daily running of the news portal, the duo continue to sit on Malaysiakini's board of directors. Since their departure, their respective roles have yet to be filled - with the editorial team led by executive editor RK Anand and managing editor Ng Ling Fong.
Controversies
Publishing fake news as April's fool joke
On 1 April 2005, Malaysiakini published a fake news report alleging that four unnamed senior government officials were being charged for corruption. The report turned out to be an April Fool's joke, albeit published with the intention of casting the spotlight on official corruption, a problem still rife in Malaysia. These caused quite a stir in Malaysia with some readers expressing their disappointment at the editorial and the government ordering a probe on the news organisation.
Funding source
In September 2012, Malaysiakini admitted to receiving grants from National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and other organisations. Premesh Chandran, the CEO of Malaysiakini said that Malaysiakini is "transparent about such partnerships" and that the foreign grants "form a small part of Malaysiakini budget". He also said that Malaysiakini is 70% owned by its co-founders and staff. He claimed that despite receiving grants from international donors, the editorial independence was not compromised. Other than Malaysiakini, other organisations and human right groups in Malaysia such as SUARAM also reportedly having received funding from the NED.
In 2016, Malaysiakini's former editor YL Chong claimed that George Soros indirectly funded the online news portal and that the online news portal refused to allow this fact to be known and that the former editor had resigned in protest. Malaysiakini refuted these allegations.
Malaysiakini was probed by the government as result of the allegation.
Notable events
On 20 January 2003, Malaysiakini was raided by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM). Four servers and 15 personal computers from its office worth RM150,000 (US$39,500) were seized during the raid. The police raid was instigated after the right-wing cadres in UMNO Youth, the youth arm of the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), complained that a letter written by "Petrof", a reader, and published on Malaysiakini's website was seditious. In its police report, UMNO Youth claimed that the letter had questioned the special rights and privileges of the Bumiputras that are enshrined in the Constitution. Additionally, UMNO Youth claimed that the letter also contained false allegations that the Malaysian government was unfair to other ethnic races in the country. The seizure of the hardware temporarily halted Malaysiakini's operation, though it eventually resumed its normal operations.
On Feb 25, 2014, red paint was splashed outside Malaysiakini's then office premise at Bangsar Utama, Kuala Lumpur. A cardboard box with a duck inside was left at the main entrance. The box had a photograph of DAP's Seputeh MP Teresa Kok strapped to it. The act was perceived as a threat to Malaysiakini and its staff.
In 2015, political cartoonist Zunar (Zulkiflee Anwar Haque) whose work has run in Malaysiakini for many years, was charged under the Sedition Act 1948 for criticising the Malaysian government in a number of posts on Twitter and was charged under the Sedition Act 1948. The charges were dropped after the change of government in 2018.
On Nov 5, 2016, right-wing Umno leader Jamal Yunos led a group of his Red Shirt protesters to the entrance of the news portal's new office premises in Petaling Jaya. They called for Malaysiakini to be closed down but stopped at a barricade set up by police and eventually left.
Lawsuits
Abdul Taib Mahmud bribery allegation
In May 2007, the news portal was sued for defamation by then Chief Minister of Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud in the Kuala Lumpur High Court, an apology, unspecified amount of damages and injunction against Malaysiakini and Gan, for 12 articles between 6 April and 3 May that year. The suit was retracted in January 2012 after the news portal made an apology in public court for publishing unverified news.
Raub Australian Gold Mine suit
Malaysiakini had been sued in 2012 for publishing several articles and videos about residents' concerns over pollution allegedly linked to Raub Australian Gold Mine's gold mining operations in Malaysia. The company had said the articles were defamatory and malicious.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court in 2016 ruled in favour of Malaysiakini on the grounds of responsible journalism and reportage, but the decision was later overturned on appeal. The Federal Court upheld the appellate court's decision in a 3-2 majority ruling, saying Malaysiakini had not been "fair, disinterested or adopted a neutral approach" in reporting the residents' campaign against the mining activities. The ruling came amid concern among activists about freedom of expression in Malaysia, with Malaysiakini perceived to be particularly targeted as one of the most widely read independent news media source.
On July 2, 2021, the Federal Court of Malaysia ordered Malaysiakini to pay RM550,000 (US$132,180) in damages to Raub Australian Gold Mine's which by then had become defunct.
Contempt of court over readers' comments
On 19 February 2021, Malaysiakini was found guilty of contempt by the Federal Court of Malaysia over five user comments posted on the website that the Malaysian Attorney General claimed undermined public confidence in the judiciary. The news website was fined RM 500,000 Malaysian ringgit (US$123,644). However, Malaysiakini's editor-in-chief Steven Gan was not found guilty of the offence. The website sought public donations to pay the fine and received donation exceeding the fine amount within the span of roughly four hours.
In covering the trial, the BBC in an article called Malaysiakini: The upstart that changed Malaysia's media landscape said that "Malaysiakini's success so far, its very survival, are all the more remarkable in a country where all news media was once subject to government control, and in a region where truly independent, quality journalism is difficult, dangerous and often driven to the margins."
The New York Times meanwhile wrote a piece called 5 Reader Comments Just Cost a News Website $124,000 in which they wrote that Gan and Malaysiakini were being punished for the outlet’s diligent reporting. It quoted Gan as saying that the court's decision would "have a tremendous chilling impact on discussions of issues of public interest and it delivers a body blow to our continual campaign to fight corruption."

Personal life
In an interview, Rodriguez revealed that she has suffered from Hashimoto's disease, a thyroid condition, since the age of 19.
In a 2014 interview, she said, "I grew up Catholic. I have Jewish in my family and I attend a Christian church in Hollywood. I am basically all over the place."
In 2016, Rodriguez began dating actor and mixed martial arts fighter Joe LoCicero, whom she met on the set of Jane the Virgin. They got engaged in August 2018 and were married on May 4, 2019. She gave birth to their son in March 2023.

In October 2019, she bought a 3,910 square foot, 1950s Tudor architecture-style home nearby for $2.42 million. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she also bought a house in Oregon.
Philanthropy
Rodriguez has been involved with various charities and philanthropic efforts, made possible by her rising visibility as a film and television actress. In 2015, she became involved in CustomInk and Naja Lingerie, both of which Rodriguez has stated have a special connection to her life and experiences.
On March 16, 2015, she was announced as a member of the board of directors of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the larges non-profit organization in the U.S. that supports Hispanic American higher education. Because attaining an education was the biggest priority in Rodriguez's household, coupled with her determination to work towards a degree, she was able to work towards receiving a HSF scholarship.
Later in 2015, PACER's (The Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights) National Bullying Prevention Center teamed up with CustomInk and enlisted the help of various celebrities, Rodriguez among them, to raise money for their fifth annual "Be Good to Each Other Campaign". Throughout the month of October 2015, people were encouraged to purchase a celebri-tee from CustomInk, who would donate all the proceeds from bullying prevention T-shirts to PACER. Rodriguez, in designing a celebri-tee which featured the phrase "Kindness Is Always In Style" in cursive print, took a stand for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion in support of bullying prevention, and stated that her parents always taught [her] the power of thinking positively and treating others with respect. She also hopes that through the Be Good to Each Other Campaign, such a message could be continued to be spread to younger generations.
Also in October 2015, Rodriguez was announced as a partner of Naja, a lingerie line founded in 2014 with ambitions to help women and the environment. Because Naja is vertically integrated, thereby shortening manufacturing lead times by up to eighty percent, it allows the company's savings to go towards school books, lunches, and uniforms for employees' children, and there's also an emphasis on a flexible work environment. Having seen the hardships of single mothers through a close friend from college, Rodriguez wanted to support a company that primarily employed single mothers and allowed remote work. She also cites Naja's commitment to creating lingerie for women of all shapes and sizes and encouraging body confidence as a factor for becoming involved with the lingerie line; admitting that it was a process for her to fall in love with her own body, Rodriguez also spoke on the importance of empowering women to love their own bodies and what they wear. Naja is also environmentally-conscious in its production, as more than half of all of its pieces are made of synthetics (like nylon)—that have been fabricated from recycled plastic bottles—and makes use of digital printing as a more environmentally-friendly measure.
In 2016, Rodriguez was named to Oprah's SuperSoul 100 list of visionaries and influential leaders. In 2017, Rodriguez, among several other artists, sang on the single "Almost Like Praying". Sparked by Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of Broadway's Hamilton, all proceeds from the song benefited those affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

Impressions, souvenirs, pensées et paysages pendant un voyage en Orient, 1832–1833, ou Notes d'un voyageur, shortened to Voyage en Orient, is a travel journal written by Alphonse de Lamartine. This book narrates Lamartine's journey to several Middle Eastern regions now known as Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, and Syria but also South Eastern European countries such as Cyprus, Greece, and Serbia. The book was published in 1835, and is divided in four volumes, comprising a total of 1260 pages.
Context
In the early nineteenth century, Romanticism was the leading literary movement in France and Lamartine was one of its prominent figures. The French romantic literature fostered a growing curiosity about foreign cultures, particularly the Eastern ones. During Lamartine's time, romantic authors and artists travelled in many regions of the world, with the Orient being one of their favorite destinations. The sparked interest in the region was prompted by romantic artists’ need of self-discovery, which could be fulfilled by going to the Orient, due to the moral and political values that the region upheld, which were seen as antithetical to the West. This Orientalist desire laid the focus on both on personal experience and the need to find meaning through traveling.
Lamartine's travel to the Orient was also politically motivated. Before embarking on his Oriental journey, Lamartine rallied to the July Monarchy and faced a political failure, as he was not elected as a deputy in 1831. He therefore decided to leave France to travel to the Orient because he needed to take a break from politics. While traveling, Lamartine's political convictions shifted as he progressively distanced himself from being a conservative to become a well-known liberal adhering to French republicanism. Another incentive for leaving his country was religion and this quest for faith sprung after the death of his mother in 1829 who raised him as a Christian. Lamartine realized that it was important to recover his faith, which has been fading away throughout the years. An additional reason for him to leave his country was the fact that the Orient had always fascinated Lamartine and that he long dreamt about visiting this part of the world. Prior to visiting the Orient, Lamartine did not travel extensively, as he only went to Italy for eight months in 1811, when he was a diplomat.
Contents
Voyage en Orient is presented as a travel diary in which Lamartine provides descriptions of landscapes, his impressions and feelings while traveling to the Orient. His trip lasted for 18 months and he was accompanied by his wife and daughter. In the preface, Lamartine claims that Voyage en Orient is neither a book nor a travel account. He argues that his notes were meant for him alone and that he did not think about his audience while writing. In each of the 4 volumes, the chapters are divided either by regions ("Jérusalem") or by themes ("Visite à Lady Esther Stanhope").
The first volume of Voyage en Orient reports Lamartine's travels through modern day Lebanon. His journey began on 11 July 1832 when he left Marseilles with his wife and daughter. They arrived in Beirut on 6 September of the same year. During this trip, Lamartine wrote extensively about his encounter with Lady Hester Stanhope and Bashir Shihab II.
In the second volume, Lamartine is still in Lebanon. On 1 October 1832, he goes to the Holy Land and comes back to Lebanon in November. When he came back to Beirut, Lamartine's lost his daughter, Julia, who died from tuberculosis.
In third volume, Lamartine leaves Lebanon in March 1833 and travels through Syria, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Serbia.
The fourth and final volume of his travel account, Lamartine writes summaries about his stay in Serbia, religion, and politics. He also includes fragments of poems translated from Arabic.
Publication history
Impressions, souvenirs, pensées et paysages pendant un voyage en Orient, 1832-1833, ou Notes d'un voyageur was first published in 1835 by Charles Gosselin in Paris. Lamartine's travel account was very popular during the mid-nineteenth and twentieth century. The book was translated in many European languages (e.g. English, German, Dutch, and Italian) and re-edited sixteen times during Lamartine's lifetime.
Since 1841, the shortened title Voyage en Orient has been officially kept.
Reception
After its publication in 1835, Voyage en Orient attracted several criticisms. Lamartine was blamed for his tolerance towards Islam and his writing was judged as unpleasant, as well as redundant, because of his constant notes on how appealing is the Orient in his opinion. Lamartine has also been accused of lying due to the numerous contradictions and errors displayed in his account, which can be exemplified by the dates not coinciding with the reality. For instance, in Voyage en Orient, Lamartine states that he left France in May 1832 but it is well known that he only started his journey in July of the same year.
The scholar Sarga Moussa, a specialist in literary Orientalism and in nineteenth-century travel writing, wrote several academic articles on Voyage en Orient and how Lamartine's depictions of the Orient ran counter the century's conventional prejudices against Oriental civilisations. Moussa supports his arguments by comparing Lamartine with different figures such as the Romantic travel writer Chateaubriand or with one of Lamartine's friends, the doctor Jean-Vaast Delaroière. His comparison shows that Lamartine's vision of the Orient diverged from the century's mainstreamed representations of the Eastern world, particularly with regard to Islam, which Lamartine saw as analogous to Christianity.
Edward Said's analysis of Lamartine's travel account does not draw the same conclusions as Moussa. In Orientalism, he argues that Lamartine's zeal for the region was no different from other Romantic writers and that he was in line with the mainstream depictions of the East. For the postcolonial author, the French poet contributed to the Western gaze because, through the prism of Lamartine's writing, the representation of the Orient remained guided by an imperial and colonial aesthetic that aimed to produced interest for the reader. Said shows that Lamartine asserted in Voyage en Orient that colonial rule and political domination of the Orient was imperative for European powers. Said concludes that in Lamartine's vision the Orient is reborn as European right-to-power over it.

Double Platinum is the first greatest hits album by the American hard rock band Kiss, released in 1978.
Many of the songs on Double Platinum were remixed and differed from their original versions: in the case of "Strutter," it was re-recorded with a slight disco beat and dubbed "Strutter '78." Other songs ("Hard Luck Woman," "Detroit Rock City") had sections completely removed, while the beginning of "Black Diamond" was repeated at the end, fading out at the start of the first verse and giving the song a "wrap around" feel.
The Japanese single release of "Strutter '78" includes a different version to that on the album: faster and shorter, with an altered guitar solo, plus a more prominent hi-hat (cymbal) sound throughout.
Release and reception
The original vinyl release, in a gatefold sleeve, had an embossed, silver-foiled sleeve, with the band members in bas-relief inside. The album was packaged with a printed "Platinum Award" thanking the Kiss Army for making the band a "Double Platinum Success". Later reissues would retain the gatefold sleeve but replaced the logo with a printed, red-type version and the band members were now represented inside by photos rather than the base illustrations. When the album was remastered for CD in the US in 1997, it mimicked the original vinyl.
The album was certified Platinum on May 16, 1978, by the RIAA. In Canada, it was certified Gold on June 1, 1978, after shipping 50,000 copies. The album is one of the band's best catalog sellers, with 522,000 copies sold from 1991 to March 2012 only. It has been speculated that US sales have reached double platinum level (with at least 478,000 sold between 1978 and 1991), however it has not been re-certified since 1978.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes: "If 'Strutter' was represented by the original version, instead of a pointless 1978 remake—which was recorded only to entice collectors into buying an album of music they already owned—Double Platinum would have been a definitive collection, but as it stands, it's simply a very, very good overview."
Rolling Stone writes "Kiss's greatest-hits collections have all been conspicuously incomplete as if it hates the idea of anyone buying just one Kiss album, but Double Platinum is the most solid, though not as much fun as Alive!"

Suzanne Waldron (July 23, 1931 - June 1982), better known by her alias "Tarantula Ghoul", was an American actress, television hostess, and musician. Between 1957 and 1959, she hosted the cult favorite program House of Horror on the Portland-based television station KPTV. With her backing band the Gravediggers, Tarantula Ghoul recorded "King Kong" and "Graveyard Rock", the latter of which became associated and popularized with Halloween-themed music. Following her role as Tarantula Ghoul, Waldron continued to act in the 1960s and 1970s.
Biography
Suzanne Waldron was born in Portland, Oregon, in July 1931. Her studies at the New Mexico Highlands University in the early 1950s first excited her interests in stage acting and radio commentary. By 1952, Waldron began performing at the Portland Civic Auditorium and earning voice roles in radio commercials; a year later, Waldron joined the Magic Ring Repertory Company, receiving local acclaim for her roles in comedy and drama.
Waldron's appearance as a witch in a staging of Macbeth caught the attention of producers from the Fox-affiliated television station KPTV. Their management hired Waldron as the late-night personality "Tarantula Ghoul" for their upcoming variety show House of Horror. The concept of the Tarantula Ghoul character—a slick raven-haired hostess that had a striking resemblance to the fictional matriarch Morticia Addams—was based on Vampira, played by actress Maila Nurmi. Nurmi's series The Vampira Show, which briefly aired in 1954 and 1955, was highly successful in Los Angeles before its cancellation, encouraging television stations across the United States to recreate the show's premise as well as its ghoulish hostess.
House of Horror premiered on October 9, 1957, airing at 10:30 pm on Wednesdays. The program adapted characteristics from the format of The Vampira Show: Like her predecessor, Tarantula Ghoul introduced campy B-rated horror films and acted in various satirical comedic segments. Other cast members included the grave robber-turned-gardener Milton (John Hillsbury); Baby, a boa constrictor and Sir Galahad the pet tarantula. Waldron promoted House of Horror by appearing at public events in character, customarily making a grand entrance by emerging from a coffin. In 1958, Tarantula Ghoul and her backing band the Gravediggers recorded and released the "King Kong" single on Meadows Records with "Graveyard Rock" as its B-side. The latter track's appealing melody made it a popular song to incorporate in Halloween-themed setlists.
Despite its popularity, House of Horror was canceled in 1959 when it was discovered Waldron was pregnant out of wedlock; she married KPTV employee John Petty a year later. No known footage of the show currently exists. Waldron occasionally revived her Tarantula Ghoul persona in the early 1960s and was offered opportunities to host television again but she decided to focus on stage acting and voiceover work. In June 1982, she died in Omaha, Nebraska of colon cancer; Waldron was 50 years old.

The Mangeshkar family (pronunciation: [maŋɡeːʃkəɾ]) is a prominent Indian family, headed by Deenanath Mangeshkar. The family is of Marathi and Konkani origin.
Overview
Deenanath Mangeshkar
The father of this famous musical family, Deenanath Mangeshkar, was born on 29 December 1900 in the village of Mangeshi (then in Portuguese India) to a temple pujari and handmaiden of the deity Mangesh. His father, Ganesh Bhatt Navathe (Abhisheki), was a married Karhade Brahmin who served as pujari at the famous Mangueshi Temple in Goa, and his mother was Ganesh's mistress, Yesubai, belonging to Gomantak Maratha Samaj. Since Deenanath's parents were not married to each other, he did not inherit his father's Brahmin caste and surname. Deenanath Mangeshkar had five children with his Gujarati wife Shevanti, namely Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Usha Mangeshkar, Meena Khadikar and Hridaynath Mangeshkar.
Lata Mangeshkar
Lata Mangeshkar was one of the best-known and most respected playback singers in India. She was never married. She was known as the Nightingale of India. She was conferred India's highest civilian award Bharat Ratna in 2001. She died on 6 February 2022.
Asha Bhosle
Asha Bhosle is best known as a playback singer in Hindi cinema, although she has a wider repertoire. Asha, at the age of 16, had eloped with 31-year-old Ganpatrao Bhosle. They separated in 1960. They had three children and five grandchildren. The eldest of her three children, Hemant Bhosle (named after Hemant Kumar), spent most of his early years as a pilot and quit to have a brief career as a music director. Later he moved to Scotland, where he died in September 2015. Bhosle's daughter Varsha committed suicide on 8 October 2012. She was 56 years old and worked as a columnist for The Sunday Observer and Rediff.
Asha's youngest child, Anand Bhosle, has studied business and film direction. He manages Asha's career. Her grandson, Chaitanya (Chintu) Bhosle (Hemant's son) is a part of the world of music. He is a member of India's first & only boy band, "A Band of Boys".
Hemant Bhosle's best known compositions were the Kishore-Asha duets, such as Aji Kaho Kya Haal Hai from the film Anpadh, lip-synched by Vijendra Ghatke and Sarika, and Salamat Raho Tum from the same film, lip-synched by Ashok Kumar and Sarika. Hemant died of cancer in 2015. Hemant's son Chaitanya Bhosle is a singer and has a few albums to his name.
Asha's first husband, Ganpatrao, was her personal secretary. Their marriage failed miserably in 1960. Her husband and in-laws mistreated her. After a few years of marriage, Asha was turned out by a suspicious Ganpatrao, and she went to her maternal home with two children and pregnant with her third child. She continued to sing in films to earn money. Asha married Rahul Dev Burman in 1980. This was a second marriage for both Rahul and Asha. Rahul, six years younger than Asha, had earlier divorced Rita Patel in 1971.
Usha Mangeshkar
Usha Mangeshkar is an Indian singer who has recorded many Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Nepali, Bhojpuri and Gujarati songs. She remained unmarried.
Meena Khadikar
Meena Khadikar is an Indian Marathi and Hindi language playback singer and composer. She is also popular for composing various children's songs. She married Mr. Khadikar, who died around 2011. Her son Yogesh Khadikar has recorded a few songs. Yogesh is married to Jitendra Abhisheki's daughter.
Hridaynath Mangeshkar
Hridaynath Mangeshkar is a music composer and singer. He is married to Bharati Malvankar Mangeshkar, daughter of Marathi comedian Damuanna Malvankar. They have two sons, Aadinath Mangeshkar and Baijnath Mangeshkar, and a daughter, Radha Mangeshkar. In 2009, Radha launched her debut album Naav Maaza Shaami.

Fort Defiance (formerly also known as Fort Sevier and Fort Bruce) was a fort built during the American Civil War at Clarksville, Tennessee, on the Cumberland River. It changed hands several times during the war, and is now preserved by the city administration.
Construction and Union takeover
In November 1861, Confederate troops began to build a defensive fort that would control the river approach to Clarksville. They mounted three guns in the fort. On February 19, 1862, Union gunboats came up the river from Fort Donelson and reported the fort displayed a white flag and was deserted. The Union took over the fort and enlarged it so that it would control traffic on the Hopkinsville (Kentucky) Pike. Clarksville was left with a small garrison of Union troops. In April 1862, this small garrison was made up of the 71st Ohio Volunteers commanded by Col. Rodney Mason.
1862 combat
During July and August 1862, there was an increase in guerrilla activity around Clarksville. On August 18, 1862, Clarksville was recaptured by Confederate Cavalry. Col. Mason was cashiered for surrendering Clarksville so easily, although this penalty was later revoked. Union soldiers were sent from Fort Donelson to retake Clarksville in September 1862. Skirmishes were fought at New Providence on September 6, 1862 and at Riggins Hill on September 7, 1862. The town and fort were reoccupied by Federal troops who remained for the rest of the war. Col. Bruce was placed in command at Clarksville and Fort Defiance was renamed Fort Bruce.
Present-day monument
The four-acre Fort Defiance park features earthen fort and walking trails. It is located at 120 A Street, Clarksville, Tennessee. The city of Clarksville dedicated a new $2 million Fort Defiance Interpretive Center in 2011 in time for the 150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War in 2011. The Fort has been owned by the City of Clarksville since the mid-1980s, when it was donated to the city by retired Judge Sam Boaz who had owned and preserved the site for some time.

Frasers Property is a Singaporean multinational real estate and property management company that develops, owns, and manages properties across the globe. It owns and manages properties in the commercial, residential, hospitality, retail, and industrial and logistics sectors. Headquartered in Singapore, it trades on the main board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST). It also sponsors real estate investment trusts (REITs), including one stapled trust, two of which are also listed on the SGX-ST.
History
1963–1996: Foundation, establishment of The Centrepoint, IPO, and acquisition by Fraser and Neave
The company that would later be known as Frasers Property was incorporated in 1963 as Cold Storage Limited, a market and retail chain. The first property it developed was a shopping centre known as The Centrepoint located on Singapore's Orchard Road. Construction on that development started in 1980 and was completed in 1983. In the early 1980s, the firm began divesting its non-property assets. In 1987, Fraser and Neave and Goodman Fielder Wattie took control of Cold Storage Holdings, the holding group for Cold Storage's food manufacturing, retail, and property arms. In 1988, the property arm of Cold Storage became Centrepoint Properties Limited (CPL) and also started trading on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). In 1990, CPL became a member of Fraser and Neave after restructuring. At the time of the acquisition, CPL's sole function was as the owner and operator of The Centrepoint mall, and its executive director was G.H. Darwin.
In the following years, the company added to its portfolio, opening another shopping complex, Northpoint, in Singapore and acquiring a Sydney, Australia-based shopping mall, Bridgepoint. In 1994, CPL opened and began managing its first residential project with The Anchorage, a condominium complex at the location of a former Anchor Brewery in Singapore. In 1996, it broke ground on its first commercial project in Vietnam called, Me Linh Point, in Ho Chi Minh City. The 21-storey retail and commercial tower was completed in 1999.
In 1996, G.H. Darwin retired as executive director and was replaced by Jeffrey Heng, who assumed the role of CEO. Under Heng, Centrepoint expanded into hospitality with the hotel brands, Fraser Place and Fraser Suites. In 1998, Fraser Suites Singapore and Fraser Place Robertson Walk were the first of F&N's serviced residence properties. The company subsequently opened locations in the UK, South Korea, and the Philippines. The company also ventured into the United Kingdom for the first time in 2000 with the Annandale House residential development. Its first development in China came with the JingAn Four Seasons in Shanghai in 2001.
1996–2013: Further expansion, delisting from SGX, and establishment of REITs
In 2002, Centrepoint Properties became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fraser and Neave, which privatized it by delisting it from the SGX. Lim Ee Seng was named CEO of Centrepoint Properties in 2004. Two years later, the company was rebranded as Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL). It also developed its first Real estate investment trust (REIT) with Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT). The FCT launched with a listing on the main board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST). In 2008, Fraser and Neave acquired a 17.7% stake in the Allco Commercial REIT. It was later rebranded as the Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT) and placed under the structure of FCL. Between 2005 and 2014, FCL's assets increased from just over $5 billion to $16.89 billion (SGD).
In 2013, FCL's parent company, Fraser and Neave, was acquired by Thai Chinese billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi's TCC Group for $11 billion. In August of that year, it was announced that Fraser and Neave would spin off FCL as its own separate listing on the Singapore Exchange through an in specie distribution of stock, effectively making the property group an independent entity under the broader TCC Group umbrella.
2014–2017: Acquisition by TCC Group, relisting on SGX, and expansion into Australia and Europe
It officially commenced trading on the main board of the SGX-ST on January 9, 2014, after a nearly 12-year absence. In June 2014, FCL launched the Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT), a stapled trust with a focus on its hospitality business. It is listed on the SGX-ST. Another REIT, the Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust (FLT), was launched on the SGX-ST in June 2016. In July 2014, Frasers Centrepoint acquired Australand, an Australia-based property group, for $2.6 billion (AUD). Australand was rebranded to Frasers Property Australia in August 2015. In 2016, the company acquired a stake in the Stock Exchange of Thailand-listed development company, Golden Land.
In October 2016, Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi took over as the group's CEO, replacing the retiring Lim Ee Seng who had held the role for 12 years. Sirivadhanabhakdi had previously been the CEO of the Thailand-based Univentures Public Company and a non-executive and non-independent director of Frasers Centrepoint. In April 2017, it was announced that Frasers Centrepoint (in collaboration with the TCC Group) was planning the largest mixed-use development in Thailand known as One Bangkok. Due to be completed in 2025, the 16.7 hectare integrated district will feature residences, hotels, office space, and shopping malls.
Later that month, the group acquired an 86.56% stake in Geneba Properties NV, a real estate investment company based in Amsterdam. It continued adding to its European portfolio with acquisitions of two warehouse facilities in Germany in October 2017, four business parks in the U.K. in November 2017, and the German commercial, logistics, and manufacturing developer Alpha Industrial in February 2018.

Many of its business units outside of Singapore had been using the "Frasers Property" name for several years. Later in February, the Frasers Property Group acquired an additional 26.1% stake in Thai-listed developer, TICON Industrial Connection Public Company, in which it already owned a 40.95% share. The sale triggered a tender offer for the remaining ordinary shares of TICON. TICON was later renamed Frasers Property Thailand in 2019 with Golden Land Development Company as a subsidiary
In May 2018, the group partnered with Singaporean sovereign wealth fund, GIC, and coworking company, JustCo, to invest $177 million in creating a Southeast Asian coworking platform. That month, it also acquired a 75% stake in Vietnam-based Phu An Khang Real Estate for $18 million. In February 2019, the company entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for a 17.8% stake in PGIM Real Estate Asia Retail Fund Limited (PGIM Real Estate) for $356.4 million. In July 2019, the company announced that it would be merging its Australian and European industrial and logistics operations along with the assets and property management functions of the Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust. The company announced it would create a new strategic business unit, Frasers Property Industrial, beginning in 2020.
In February 2020, the company's retail arm agreed to acquire AsiaMalls Management, adding six properties to its portfolio.
In 2021, the company launched a $950m share sale to fuel the acquisition of industrial and business parks, as well as set up new property investment vehicles.

Siuslaw was the language of the Siuslaw people and Lower Umpqua (Kuitsh) people of Oregon. It is also known as Lower Umpqua. The Siuslaw language had two dialects: Siuslaw proper (Šaayušƛa) and Lower Umpqua (Quuiič).
Classification
Siuslaw is currently considered to be a language isolate. It may be part of a Coast Oregon Penutian family together with Alsea and the Coosan languages, although the validity of this family is still controversial. Proponents of the disputed Penutian phylum usually include Siuslaw as part of it, together with the other Coast Oregon Penutian languages.
Documentation
Published sources are by Leo J. Frachtenberg who collected data from a non-English-speaking native speaker of the Lower Umpqua dialect and her Alsean husband (who spoke it as a second language) during three months of fieldwork in 1911, and by Dell Hymes who worked with four Siuslaw speakers in 1954.
Further archived documentation consists of a 12-page vocabulary by James Owen Dorsey, a wordlist of approximately 150 words taken by Melville Jacobs in 1935 in work with Lower Umpqua speaker Hank Johnson, an audio recording of Siuslaw speaker Spencer Scott from 1941, hundreds of pages of notes from John Peabody Harrington in 1942 based on interviews with several native speakers, and audio recordings of vocabulary by Morris Swadesh in 1953.
Phonology
Consonants
Cluster of stops/affricates + glottal stop are realized as ejective consonants [pʼ tʼ tɬʼ tsʼ tʃʼ kʼ].
Vowels
Vowels are noted as /i æ a u ə o/.

Konrad X the White (Polish: Konrad X Biały) (1420 – 21 September 1492) was a duke of Oleśnica, Koźle, and half of both Bytom and Ścinawa during 1450–1452 (with his brother as co-rulers), since 1452 sole ruler over half of Ścinawa, during 1471–1472 sole ruler over Koźle and whole Bytom, and since 1478 sole ruler over Oleśnica.
He was the second son of Konrad V Kantner, Duke of Oleśnica, by his wife Margareta.
Life
After his father's death in 1439, Konrad X and his older brother Konrad IX the Black were excluded from the government by their uncle Konrad VII the White, who ruled until 1450, when Konrad X and Konrad IX deposed him and took over the Duchy as co-rulers; however, two years later, in 1452, they decided to divide their domains. Konrad X obtained half of Ścinawa.
During the wars between Bohemia and Hungary, he initially supported King George of Poděbrady and paid homage to him with his brother Konrad IX in 1459 in exchange for the confirmation of the possession of their father's Duchy; however, when the Hungarian troops entered in Silesia, Konrad X and Konrad IX repudiated his alliance with Bohemia and paid homage to King Matthias Corvinus.
After the death of his brother in 1471, Konrad X reunited the entire duchy in his hands, except Oleśnica, which was the dower of his sister-in-law Margareta of Rawa and later ruled by his niece Barbara. In view of his deep debts, he sold his Upper Silesian domains to Duke Henry I the Older of Ziębice.
In 1472 Koźle and Bytom were annexed by the Kingdom of Bohemia, and three years later, in 1475, Konrad X managed to deprive Margareta from the effective rule over Oleśnica, who then passed to her daughter Barbara, who remained under the tutelage of her uncle until 1478, when she was also deposed by Konrad X, who finally could take the control over that land.
When Konrad X couldn't deal with his debts, he tried to sell his lands to the rulers of Saxony, which led the intervention of King Matthias and the Teutonic Order in 1480. At the end, Konrad X could make a settlement with the Hungarian King, under which Konrad X recognized him as King of Bohemia and he was obliged to enter in the coalition of Olomouc. In 1488, he attempted to invalidate his alliance with King Matthias by joining in a coalition with Jan II the Mad, Duke of Głogów and Henry I the Older, but was defeated in 1489 by the Hungarian forces. Then he was forced to give up the to the royal treasure. After the death of King Matthias in 1490 he could recover the full government over Oleśnica, Syców and Wąsosz.
Konrad X married with Dorothea Reynkenberg (d. 6 January 1471), daughter of Nikolaus (or Nikodemus) Reynkenberg, a coppersmith. According to the standards of the House of Piast, the marriage was considered morganatic, and Dorothea was forbidden to assume the titles and rank of her husband. They had no children.
With him, the Oleśnica branch of the Piast dynasty became extinct. Half of Ścinawa was taken by Duke Casimir II of Cieszyn and Oleśnica was obtained by Henry I the Older.

As of May 2019, the store locator lists only 15 locations. The restaurants are typically in size and have around 100–115 employees at each location. Circa December 2014, a Sirloin Stockade location in Galesburg, Illinois discontinued offering steak in its buffet due to escalating beef and food prices, but continued to offer steak as a menu item.
History
Sirloin Stockade has grown into Stockade Companies, a multi-concept restaurant company, presently based in Round Rock, Texas. In 2008, the CEO of Stockade Companies was Tom Ford, who began working for the company on its first day in 1966 as a dishwasher at the debut restaurant in Oklahoma City. Ford worked in additional positions while attending college, and purchased a Sirloin Stockade restaurant in 1979 in the Austin, Texas area. , Ford and Doug Frieling, a franchisee with the company, are the owners of Stockade Companies.

Mount Endeavour () is an summit north of the base of Ketchum Ridge in the southern part of Endeavour Massif, Kirkwood Range, Victoria Land. The name "Mount Endeavour" was given to the south block of the Kirkwood Range by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in October 1957, but in subsequent New Zealand and U.S. maps the name is identified as the summit described above. Following additional mapping by the United States Geological Survey in 1999 and consultation between the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names and the New Zealand Geographic Board, the name "Endeavour Massif" was approved for the south block of the Kirkwood Range. For the sake of historical continuity the name "Mount Endeavour" has been retained for the summit near Ketchum Ridge. The summit and the massif are named after HMNZS Endeavour (formerly John Biscoe), a supply ship to the 1957 New Zealand Northern Survey Party.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (), 120 Stat. 780, was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on August 17, 2006.
Pension reform
This legislation requires companies who have underfunded their pension plans to pay higher premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and extends the requirement of providing extra funding to the pension systems of companies that terminate their pension plans. It also requires companies to analyze their pension plans' obligations more accurately, closes loopholes that previously allowed some companies to underfund their plans by skipping payments, and raises the cap on the amount employers are allowed to invest in their own plans. This will allow employers to deduct more money using the pension tax shield in times of high profits.
It requires actuaries to use the equivalent of the projected accrued benefit cost method for determining annual normal cost.
Other elements:
Provides statutory authority for employers to enroll workers in defined contribution plans automatically; formerly, the authority came from DoL rulemaking
Expands disclosure that workers have about the performance of their pensions
Removes the conflict of interest fiduciary liability from giving self-interested investment advice for retirement accounts
Gives workers greater control over how their accounts are invested
Extends the 2001 tax act's contribution limits for IRAs and 401(k)s.
Allows automatic contributions to be returned to employees without tax penalties, if employee opts out within 90 days
Established safe harbor investments, also known as Qualified Default Investment Alternatives, to protect employers from liability of losses suffered by automatically enrolled employees
Charitable organization reform
The Pension Protection Act also reformed several types of tax-exempt charitable organizations including donor-advised funds, private foundations, and supporting organizations.
Supporting organizations
The Pension Protection Act cracks down on supporting organizations, particularly Type III supporting organizations. The Act applies further regulations and penalties that takes away several of the privileges that supporting organizations have over private foundations, such as applying private foundation law of excess benefit transactions, excess business holding rules, and pay out requirements.
Tax savings
Public Safety Officers
One tax benefit allowed under the pension protection act is that qualified retired "Public Safety Officers" may exclude from income the cost of health insurance. The exclusion is shown on the tax return as simply subtracting the exclusion from the figure shown on the 1099-R form, and placing the smaller figure on the pension income line on the 1040. The text literal "PSO" must be written on the dotted line to the left of the figure. IRS Pub 575 has more details.
Public safety officers include police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and many types of federal and state employees dealing with criminals.
Early withdrawal penalty exceptions
The PPA tells the Secretary of Treasury to provide further exceptions to the 10% penalty on withdrawing from a retirement account before reaching proper retirement age. In particular, some penalty exceptions are narrowly defined to only covering IRA accounts, excluding 401(k) and other plans.
Inherited IRAs
The PPA provides a new mechanism for an IRA to be passed on to a non-spouse beneficiary. Transferring an IRA account this way can allow better control over when to withdraw (and pay taxes on) the IRA funds. An IRA account can only be passed on once, and it is not directly transferred into the beneficiary's account. Instead, a special IRA account with the heading " Deceased Name For the Benefit of Beneficiary Name " is made to keep the transfer.
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is a federal corporation created under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. It currently guarantees payment of basic pension benefits earned by 44 million American workers and retirees participating in over 29,000 private-sector defined benefit pension plans. The agency receives no funds from general tax revenues. Operations are financed largely by insurance premiums paid by companies that sponsor pension plans and by investment returns.
The 1985 case National Foundation, Inc. (now Waterstone) v. United States, was instrumental in defining the standards used for Donor Advised Funds. Some of the standards that were included in the 2006 act include:
Legal definition of a donor-advised fund.
A list of prohibited payments to donors and advisers to donor-advised fund.
New rules about what grants can be made from donor-advised funds.
The documentation required for all contributions to donor-advised funds.
Amendments
On December 23, 2008, P.L. 110-458 (H.R. 7327), the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, was signed into law by the President. The Act makes technical corrections related to the PPA of 2006.
The Cooperative and Small Employer Charity Pension Flexibility Act (S. 1302; 113th Congress) is a proposed amendment that would make permanent an existing exemption from the Pension Protection Act of 2006 for a few small groups. Approximately 33 different plans would be affected. The bill's sponsors, such as Senator Pat Roberts, indicated that the exemption from the Pension Protection Act (PPA) that would be granted under this bill was needed because "the PPA was meant to protect employee pensions, but in the case of rural cooperatives and charities, it jeopardizes plans for employees." Senator Harkin criticized the PPA for forcing charity organizations to divert funds away from the services they provide. S. 1302 passed the Senate on January 28, 2014.

Heartbeat International is an international anti-abortion association that supports the largest network of crisis pregnancy centers (CPC) in the world, with over 2,000 affiliates in 50 countries. It does not offer, recommend, or refer for abortions. It describes itself as an "interdenominational Christian association". Heartbeat International teaches its affiliated members to make their advertising look as though they are full-service reproductive health clinics that provide referrals for birth control or abortion. Staff are also trained on how to discourage pregnant women from accessing abortion, and how to discourage young women from using emergency contraception, birth control pills, or IUDs. Heartbeat staff are also encouraged to create two websites, one that has an explicitly Christian message, and one that looks like Planned Parenthood. Many pregnancy centers have the ultimate goal of converting women through a born-again experience to "save the mother, save the baby".
For a story appearing in February 2020, openDemocracy sent "feminist investigative journalists" to 30 Heartbeat International crisis pregnancy centers in 18 countries, where they "were given misleading or manipulative counselling in most cases." The reporters, who posed as women with unwanted pregnancies, found cases where women were told falsehoods such as abortion causing mental illness, cancer, or increased risk of child abuse, along with other misinformation.
In January 2016, Jor-El Godsey was named President of Heartbeat International.

HMS Ganges was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1782 at Rotherhithe. She was the first ship of the Navy to bear the name, and was the name ship of her class. She saw active service from 1782 to 1811, in Europe and the West Indies.
Origins
The British East India Company had Randall build a 74-gun ship under the name Bengal. They then presented (donated) her to the Royal Navy, which renamed her HMS Ganges.
The Royal Navy commissioned Ganges in February 1782 under the command of Captain Charles Fielding. She was paid-off in March, but immediately recommissioned under Captain J. Lutterell as a guardship at Portsmouth. Between 1784 and 1787, she was under the command of Captain Sir Roger Curtis. In October 1787 she became the flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Drake. She was recommissioned in December 1790 under Captain Anthony Molloy.
French Revolutionary Wars
In 1794, whilst under the command of Captain William Truscott, she and captured the French corvette Jacobine. Jacobin was armed with twenty-four 12-pounder guns, and had a crew of 220 men; she was nine days out of Brest and had taken nothing. The Royal Navy took Jacobin into service as HMS Matilda.
Ganges was part of the squadron commanded by Admiral John Gell, which escorted a Spanish ship they had captured from the French back to Portsmouth. The ownership of the ship was a matter of some debate and was not settled until 4 February 1795, when the value of the cargo was put at £935,000. At this time all the crew, captains, officers and admirals received a share of the prize money, Admiral Hood taking away £50,000. Besides Ganges, the ships that conveyed the Spanish prize to Portsmouth were , , and .
Ganges shared in the prize money from the capture of the French supply ship Marsouin by on 11 March 1796.
Ganges was under the command of Captain Thomas Fremantle at the Battle of Copenhagen. She had on board a contingent of soldiers from the 49th Foot, commanded by Isaac Brock. Their mission was to storm the forts at Copenhagen, but the outcome of the naval battle made the assault unnecessary.
Napoleonic Wars
Ganges was one of six British warships that shared in the capture on 23 August 1807 of the Danish vessel Speculation.
Ganges was also present at the Second Battle of Copenhagen. She bore the flag of Commodore Richard Goodwin Keats, and was commanded by Captain Peter Halkett. During the battle Keats placed a portrait of Admiral Nelson on the mizzen mast where it was said to have encouraged officers and men alike despite being covered in the blood and brains of an unfortunate seaman.
In September 1810, two row-boat luggers, one from , under the command of Lieutenant Robert Streatfield, and one from Ganges, under the command Lieutenants Stackpole, captured two Danish armed vessels off Lessoe. There were no British casualties.
Fate
She was commissioned as a prison ship on 12 December 1811 for holding prisoners of war. Then in 1814 she was transferred to the Transport Board. Ganges was broken up at Plymouth in 1816.

Indiana Dunes State Park is an Indiana State Park located in Porter County, Indiana, United States, east of Chicago. The park is bounded by Lake Michigan to the northwest and is surrounded by as well as within the authorized boundaries of Indiana Dunes National Park, a unit of the National Park Service; the NPS owns the water from the ordinary high water mark to offshore. The Dunes Nature Preserve makes up the bulk of eastern part of the park, and includes most of the park's hiking trails and dune landscape. This was one of the first places Richard Lieber considered when establishing the Indiana State Park system. Like all Indiana state parks, there is a fee for entrance. Indiana Dunes State Park was established in 1925 and designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974.
Preserving the Indiana Dunes has resulted from the efforts of many citizens and politicians. In 2018–2019, Indiana Dunes was the most-visited state park, with more than 1.3 million visitors.
Geology
The beaches were formed by winds coming off Lake Michigan, which drop sand when the wind hits plants, dunes, and hills. As the lake level of Lake Michigan dropped at the end of the Ice Age, the shoreline receded, and new dunes were formed along the lakeshore. Vegetation took over the previous dunes, and eventually forests grew on top of them. There are "blowouts" along the dunes, where dead stumps were revealed after the wind blew away the sand from on top of them; the most notable such blowout is Big Blowout.
History
Native Americans used the area for years, primarily the Potawatomi and Miami people. The Dunes were along trade routes used by Native Americans. In the early 19th century, the state park area was home to the settlements of Petit Fort and City West.

Facilities and activities
Swimming and sunbathing: A small portion of the shoreline is set aside as a public swimming beach and is protected by lifeguards between Memorial and Labor Day weekends. It is a clean, all sand beach. The remainder of the beach (approximately ) is open for sunbathing, beach combing, and other similar activities. Dogs are permitted on the non-swimming portion of the beach, so long as they are kept on a short leash and any feces is promptly and safely removed from the shores.
Beach house with concessions during summer season.
Observation platform near the top of Mt. Tom. Looking west, Chicago can be seen above the forested sand dunes. Gary, Indiana, is also visible.
Birdwatching: (A bird observation tower is located along Trail 10 overlooking a marsh community.)
The Nature Center is a year-round facility that has a wildlife observation window, library, and a large auditorium. An interpretive naturalist provides public hikes and programs.
Picnic Shelters
Hiking trails extend for 16 miles (26 km), some of which pass not only the sand dunes, but also historic structures and wet prairie.
Guided hiking tours
Cycling is not permitted everywhere within the park, but the Calumet Trail runs through the park and provides cycling opportunities in the park as well as access to Indiana Dunes National Park and some neighboring communities.
Interpretive Naturalist Service
Arts and crafts
The campground was totally rebuilt in 2004. It has 140 campsites laid out on sand with new, level, asphalt pads, 50-amp electrical hook-ups, and picnic tables. Drinking water hydrants are located throughout the campground. The roads were newly laid out and paved in 2004, and are arranged in several connecting loops. Most of the trees were spared during the rebuilding so that many sites have full or partial shade. There are two large newly built shower house/restroom structures. There is a short, level forest path to the swimming beach.
Dunes Nature Preserve
The Nature Preserve covers the eastern 2/3 of the state park, . It is accessible only on foot. All eight of the park's trails enter the nature preserve, offering easy to rugged experiences amongst the dunes. The highlights of the preserve include:
The Tremonts: Mt. Tom, above lake level; Mt. Holden, above lake level; and Mt. Jackson above lake level.
Beach House Blowout and Furnessville Blowout.
The Marsh with a bird observation tower.
Trails
Trail 8 goes up and over all three of the high dunes. It is long from the Wilson Shelter, over the high dunes, ending on the beach at the Pavilion and Beach House.
Trail 10 is the longest at , but among the easier, listed as a moderate trail. It begins at the Pavilion and Bathhouse, traveling east along the open beach. About down the beach, is the Beach House Blowout. An additional further is the Furnessville Blowout. At about half way is the eastern boundary of the park, at which point the trail enters the dunes through an area called Paradise Valley. From there, the trail parallels a branch of the Dunes Creek, passing through the Pinery and along the marsh. The Bird Observation Tower is accessible from this trail. About from the Observation Tower, the trail ends at the Nature Center.
Designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974, the preserve also contains the Ancient Pines Nature Area, a prehistoric forest now exposed by dune blowouts.
Blowouts
Blowouts are formed by the on-shore winds of Lake Michigan. The winds move sand and pile it into dunes. As the dunes form, plants begin to take hold, stabilizing the sand. Beach grasses form a large underground system of roots. This root system creates stable areas of sand from which the dune can grow. Slowly other plants take root in the protected areas, including bearberry (kinnikinnick) and small evergreens. Over time, larger plants like sumac, sand cherry, cottonwood, and juniper take hold and replace the grasses and smaller plants.
When a nick forms in this armor of roots and plants, the area can become a blowout. First, open sand becomes accessible to the wind. This can be by animal trails or by human footpaths. A tree could fall in a strong wind, exposing the underlying sand. When this happens, the wind once again works on the loose sand. It undercuts the other roots, and begins moving sand southward. If the winds are strong enough or given enough time, a large blowout can occur, reducing the dunes to lake level over a large area. The three largest blowouts in the park are Beach House, Furnessville, and Big Blowout. Each extends into the interdunes, between the front rides of dunes and pockets, into the interdunal troughs. Big Blowout has uncovered an area of dead tree trunks known as the Tree Graveyard.
The park also has a Youth Tent Area separate from the public campground.

Saliha (), sometimes transliterated Salha, meaning 'the good/healthy place', was a Palestinian Arab village located 12 kilometres northwest of Safed.
The Franco-British boundary agreement of 1920 placed Saliha within the French Mandate of Lebanon border, thus classifying it a part of Lebanese territory. It was one of the 24 villages transferred from the French mandate of Lebanon to British control in 1924 in accordance with the 1923 demarcation of the border between the Mandatory Palestine and the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon. It thus formed part of Palestine until 1948.
Under the 1948 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, Saliha was to be included in the proposed Arab state, while the boundary between it and the proposed Jewish state was to run north of the built-up area of the village.
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Saliha was the site of a massacre carried out by Israeli forces shortly before the village was completely depopulated. The built structures in the village, with the exception of an elementary school for boys, were also destroyed.
History
There were several old structures in the village, including rock-cut tombs, traces of mosaic floors, and oil presses. The nearby Khirbat al-Sanifa contained ancient relics, such as a circular pressing floor. A winepress was excavated in the area in 2001.
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Saliha as a village of about 200 people who cultivated gardens in the surrounding area and built their homes out of basalt stones mortared with mud. They took their drinking water from several cisterns and a large pond.
British Mandate era
Its population was predominantly Shia Muslim and it had an elementary school for boys.
In the 1931 census of Palestine the population of Salha was 742 Muslims, in a total of 142 houses.
By the 1945 statistics the population was counted with Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun, and totaling 1,070 Muslims with 11,735 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey. Of this, 7,401 dunams were allocated to cereals, 422 dunams were irrigated or used for orchards, while 58 dunams were built-up (urban) area.
1948 war and aftermath
Between 30 October 1948 and 2 November 1948, Saliha was the first of three villages (the others being Safsaf and Jish) in which a massacre was committed by the 7th Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces under the command of General Moshe Carmel.
In the case of Saliha, Israeli archival sources say the troops entered the village and blew up a structure, possibly a mosque, killing the 60 to 94 people who had taken refuge inside. These estimates are based on documentary evidence that include a 6 November 1948 diary entry by Yosef Nahmani. When Nahmani's papers was first published by his commander Yosef Weitz in 1965, guided by propagandistic motives, he laundered it to remove details of atrocities such as those which took place in Saliha. Nahmani refers to "'60 - 70' men and women murdered after 'they had raised a white flag'". Also referenced by Morris are handwritten notes taken by Aharon Cohen from the Mapam Political Committee meeting on 1 November 1948 in which Galili, or Moshe Erem is recorded as stating: "94 in Saliha blown up in a house". In accounts recorded from interviews with Saliha families, now resident in Lebanon, Robert Fisk provides a different version. Nimr Aoun (b.1915), one of two survivors of the massacre in the square, says that when the Jewish army arrived, leaflets were handed over to villagers saying they would be spared if they surrendered, which they duly did. The area was surrounded by thirteen tanks (other accounts speak of 10 armoured cars) and, while the villagers stood together, the Israelis opened fire. He survived, though wounded, by hiding under corpses and then crawling off under cover of night, finding a donkey and riding it to Maroun for surgery. In an earlier interview Aoun said the villagers were summoned from a crier to assemble in the village square in front of a mosque. Two Israeli officers sipped coffee as the locals gathered. The crowd was then asked to hand over their weapons, and then the Arabic-speaking officer turned to converse with his troops, after which machine guns on top of the armoured cars opened fire and killed some 70 villagers. The corpses were left to rot for four days, and then Israeli bulldozers came and piled them into the mosque, which was then blown up with explosives. Many villagers hoped to return, waiting nearby in Lebanese villages with relatives, but they ended up settling in the Tyre suburb of Shabriha.
After the assault was over, the remaining inhabitants of the village were expelled, forming part of the Palestinian exodus of 1948. Nahmani, speaking of the 67 men and women gunned down in the village square, asked himself in his papers: 'Where did they come by such a measure of cruelty, like Nazis? . . Is there no more humane way of expelling the inhabitants than by such methods?'.
Yoav Gelber lists Saliha alongside Deir Yassin, Abu Shusha, Safsaf (Sufsuf), and Lydda as forming part of the "Palestinian pantheon of massacres ... villages where Palestinians claimed that atrocities had taken place".
Today
Salman Abu-Sitta, author of the Atlas of Palestine, estimated that the number of Palestinian refugees from Saliha in 1998 was 7,622 people.
Of what remains of Saliha's built structures today, Walid Khalidi writes that, "The only remaining landmark is a long building (which may have been a school) with many high windows. The site is a flat, mostly cultivated area. The bulk of the surrounding land is planted by Israeli farmers with apple trees."
The Israeli Jewish localities of Yir'on and Avivim are located on the former lands of Saliha.

"Brian's Got a Brand New Bag" is the fourth episode of the eighth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy. It premiered on Fox in the United States on November 8, 2009. The episode follows anthropomorphic dog Brian as he dates a middle-aged woman named Rita whose daughter has stood Brian up. He becomes reluctant to continue their relationship after discovering her numerous health concerns; also, his family continually harasses him. The episode premiered during an "all–Seth MacFarlane" schedule, preceding the live-action episode Seth and Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show.
The episode was written by series regular Tom Devanney and directed by Pete Michels. It received very mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and many cultural references. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 7.38 million homes in its original airing. The episode featured guest performances by Hart Bochner, James Burkholder, Aimee Garcia, Paul Gleason, Jack Samson, Stacey Scowley, Debra Skelton, Reginald VelJohnson, Nana Visitor, Tico Wells, Mae Whitman, and Bruce Willis, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series. "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag" was released on DVD along with seven other episodes from the season on June 15, 2010. The episode is dedicated to Patrick Swayze.
Plot
During a DVD sale at a closing video store, Peter decides to buy Road House and, after watching it, decides to start roundhouse kicking everything in sight including his family. While driving with Brian and using his feet on the steering wheel, Peter crashes into a young woman's car and Brian rushes to make sure she's all right. The woman apologizes to Brian and he asks her out. She accepts, but when he comes to her house to pick her up, her mother Rita says she has just left with somebody else. Brian keeps talking to Rita and finds himself attracted to her. After dating for several weeks, they sneak into the Griffin home late one night, but the family finds out the next morning and ridicules Rita behind her back. Brian attempts to convince the family that Rita is a wonderful, charming woman despite the fact that she is significantly older than he is, and invites her to dinner to prove his point. It does not go well: they demand that she reveal her age, and she breaks down and admits that she is 50. Infuriated with the Griffins, Brian goes to console Rita, and proposes to her. Feeling guilty for how they treated him, the Griffins give Brian their blessings.
Rita breaks her hip while she and Brian are having sex. Peter warns Brian that their relationship will not last much longer now that he must run errands for her. Brian goes out to pick up medicine for bedridden Rita, but is distracted by the sight of a group of young women entering a bar. One of them offers to have sex with Brian in the bathroom, after which he returns with her medicine. Realizing that he still loves Rita, he admits his infidelity. However, Rita decides he is far too young for her and breaks off their engagement, which a regretful Brian understands that it is for the best.
Production and development
The episode was directed by former Simpsons artist Pete Michels, and written by Tom Devanney, shortly after the conclusion of the seventh production season. Both are series regulars for the show, who joined in its third and fourth seasons, respectively. Prior to providing minor voice-over roles for the series, actress Nana Visitor portrays the episode's featured character, Rita. Series regulars Peter Shin and James Purdum served as supervising directors, with series creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane and David Zuckerman serving as staff writers for the episode.
"Brian's Got a Brand New Bag", along with the seven other episodes from Family Guys eighth season, were released on a three-disc DVD set in the United States on June 15, 2010. The sets included brief audio commentaries by Seth MacFarlane and various crew and cast members for several episodes, a collection of deleted scenes, a special mini-feature which discussed the process behind animating "Road to the Multiverse", and mini-feature entitled Family Guy Karaoke.
In addition to Visitor and the regular cast, actor Hart Bochner, James Burkholder, actress Aimee Garcia, Paul Gleason, Jack Samson, actress Stacey Scowley, Debra Skelton, Reginald VelJohnson, actor Tico Wells, actress Mae Whitman, and actor Bruce Willis guest-starred in the episode in both voice and live-action appearances. Recurring guest voice actors Alexandra Breckenridge, writer Steve Callaghan, voice actor Ralph Garman, writer Danny Smith, writer Alec Sulkin, and writer John Viener also made minor appearances. Recurring guest cast members Adam West and Patrick Warburton also made appearances in the episode.
Cultural references
The title is a reference to the James Brown song "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Peter buys the film Road House starring Patrick Swayze. While at the movie store's going out of business sale – where Mayor West buys The Garbage Pail Kids Movie – Peter refuses to take the Robin Williams' film What Dreams May Come, even though it's free, causing the DVD to wistfully sing the song "Maybe" from Annie, alongside DVD copies of Harlem Nights, Enemy Mine, Mad Dog and Glory, and Deconstructing Harry. Meanwhile, Brian buys Dan in Real Life, which Stewie mocks. In another scene, Joe is dragged away by shadowy figures, a reference to a second Patrick Swayze film, Ghost.
One cutaway gag features Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown romantically bonding over their shared love for crack cocaine. Another cutaway gag features Peter in the famed Peanuts bit in which Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown, with Peter attacking her until she cries and promises to never pull the same stunt. Brian brags over his previous work as an actor, which he proves by showing a scene from Die Hard in which the animated Brian is inserted into the live action next to Reginald VelJohnson and Paul Gleason. When Rita is introduced to the Griffins, Peter jokes about her age by asking if anyone has made any "Jessica Tandy jokes" yet. Charlotte Rae from Facts of Life later appears in the Griffins' living room to say, "Whaaaaat?" Peter flips through Playboys "Women of the Olympics" issue, which Peter finds full of unattractive, manly women.
Reception
In a significant decline from the previous week's show, and despite being heavily promoted as an "all-Seth MacFarlane" night, the episode received a Nielsen Rating of 4.3/7 in the 18–49 demographic, and was viewed in 7.38 million homes.
The episode received mostly mixed reviews from critics. Ahsan Haque of IGN gave it a 6.5/10, saying that the "episode felt very formulaic and a bit of a wasted opportunity" Emily VanDerWerff from The A.V. Club gave it a B, saying, "it's weird to see a Family Guy episode that has something approaching an actual story and even the cutaway gags were more muted than usual." In a subsequent review of Family Guys eighth season, Ramsey Isler of IGN listed "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag" as "remarkably unfunny, with lazy and unoriginal writing."

Cora was a schooner launched at Baltimore in 1812. Captain Joseph Gold acquired a letter of marque and Cora was commissioned on 26 July.
Cora was at Annapolis when on 21 July a large brig, not flying any colours, came to anchor in the mouth of the Severn river. The fort fired on the brig, but she was too far away for the shots to reach. Captain Gold had not yet arrived so Coras Chief Mate, Richard P. Weathers, weighed anchor and stood toward the brig. The brig was , Captain Charles Rubridge, which was bringing some diplomatic mail and was unaware that the United States had declared war on the United Kingdom. As a pilot brought Bloodhound into Annapolis Cora came alongside and took possession of her and brought her under the guns of Fort Madison, a battery on Beaman's Point. Bloodhounds crew were interned in the barracks there and under guard. The United States Government had Bloodhound released to take dispatches back to Plymouth as she was on a diplomatic mission.
Fate: The boats of the British squadron blockading the Chesapeake captured Cora on 14 February 1813. In describing Cora, Captain George Burdett of described Cora as being on her first voyage and the fastest vessel out of Baltimore. She was returning from Bordeaux with a valuable cargo of brandy, wine, silks, flints, and the like. She had fired on the boats that captured her, but she had not been able to inflict any casualties.

Bergr Sokkason was an Icelandic monk, abbot and scholar, who flourished in the earlier fourteenth century. In 1316 he became a monk of the monastery of Þingeyri before moving to the monastery of Munkaþverá, where he became prior in 1322 and abbot from 1325–34 and again from 1345, apparently to 1350. It is not known when Bergr died: the last known mention of him is in 1345.
Bergr was a close friend of Lárentíus Kálfsson and Einarr Hafliðason and seems to have been one of the most prolific identifiable authors of medieval Iceland, making him a central figure in the North Icelandic Benedictine School of saga-writing: he wrote Nikulás saga erkibiskups and Mikaels saga höfuðengils; possibly Guðmundar saga C, the L-version of Jóns saga helga, and Jóns þáttr Halldórssonar; and maybe even a number of romances: Kirjalax saga, Rémundar saga keisarasonar, and Dínus saga drambláta. It has recently been argued that he also composed the B-version of Þorláks saga helga, preserved in the mid-fifteenth-century manuscript AM 382 4to.

Pinyon–juniper woodland, also spelled piñon–juniper woodland, is a biome found mid-elevations in arid regions of the Western United States, characterized by being an open forest dominated by low, bushy, evergreen junipers, pinyon pines, and their associates which vary from region to region. At lower elevations, junipers often predominate and trees are spaced widely, bordering on and mingling with grassland or shrubland, but as elevation increases, pinyon pines become common and trees grow closer, forming denser canopies. Historically, pinyon-juniper woodland has provided a vital source of fuel and food (particularly piñon nuts) for peoples of the American Southwest. These nuts have also provided a crucial source of food for species such as the Pinyon jay, which have become threatened as landowners have historically tried to convert large areas of pinyon-juniper woodland to grazing lands.
Both pinyon pine and juniper species reproduce exclusively through seed production, and produce most of their seeds during mast years, which occur about every three to five years. Birds and small mammals in the ecosystem are the main distribution method for these seeds, and juniper seeds that go through a bird's digestive tract germinate faster than seeds that do not.
Subtypes
Pinyon–juniper woodland has three major subtypes based on vegetation: pinyon-juniper savannah, pinyon-juniper wooded shrubland, and pinyon-juniper persistent woodland.
Pinyon-juniper savannahs are dominated by grasses and forbs, with dense undergrowth and savannah-like sparser trees. Monsoon summer rains are common in pinyon-juniper savannahs, since they favor the growth of warm-season grasses. Common grass species are blue grama, other species of grama grass, new mexico muhly, curlyleaf muhly, and needle and thread grass.
Pinyon-juniper persistent woodlands are dominated by trees, with a variety of tree ages, often in areas with winter or bi-modal precipitation. Persistent woodland sites are usually unproductive, with thin soils and sparse ground or shrub cover, often occurring on rocky or rugged terrain.
Pinyon-juniper wooded shrublands are transition zones where pinyon-juniper woodland is expanding or contracting, often bordering other vegetation types. In absence of fire, they shift from grass and forb-dominated, to shrub-dominated, to tree-dominated communities over time. Common shrub species are big sagebrush, other species in that genus, antelope bitterbrush, rabbitbrush, mountain mahogany, and snakeweed.
Range
The pinyon–juniper woodland range spans from New Mexico, to the eastern Sierra Nevada, the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and higher elevations of Mountain ranges of the Mojave Desert. The woodland's range includes the Mogollon Rim in the south, to its northern extent in the Snake River Plain.
Arizona and New Mexico
The pinyon–juniper woodland is one of the most prevalent types of coniferous woodland in northern Arizona and New Mexico. In Arizona the great basin woodland species are Juniperus arizonica, Juniperus californica in western Arizona, Juniperus deppeana, Juniperus monosperma, Juniperus osteosperma, Juniperus scopulorum at higher elevations, Pinus monophylla var. fallax below the Colorado plateau, and Pinus edulis on the Colorado plateau. In Arizona the great basin woodland includes many species of oaks: Quercus turbinella, Quercus gambelii at higher elevations, Quercus grisea, Quercus arizonica, and Quercus emoryi. In Southern Arizona, Pinus discolor, Juniperus deppeana, and Pinus leiophylla make up the conifer woodland with many oak species.
Utah and Canyonlands region
The pinyon–juniper plant community covers a large portion of Utah and the Canyonlands region. Singleleaf ash (Fraxinus anomala), and Utah serviceberry (Amelanchier utahensis) are codominants of pinyon pine and Utah juniper. In this region, the community occurs on rocky soils or jointed bedrock.
Mojave Desert
In the steppes adjoining the Mojave Desert, this vegetation type can be found in areas receiving 12–20 inches of annual precipitation, and between 4,500 and 8,000 feet. Associates include bitterbrush (Purshia glandulosa), Apache plume(Fallugia paradoxa), desert sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), green ephedra (Ephedra viridis), mountain mahoganies (Cercocarpus spp.), and buckwheats (Eriogonum spp.). In the Mojave, pinyon–juniper woodlands are generally above the Joshua Tree woodlands vegetation type, and requires more annual precipitation.
Sierra Nevada
In the eastern Sierra Nevada, the elevation range is 4,000-5,500 feet in the north, and 5,000 to 8,000 feet in the southern reaches of the range. Pinyon–juniper woodland requires 12–20 inches of annual precipitation, so is generally located above the sagebrush scrub vegetation type, which can survive on an average of 7 inches per year. It is located below the alpine zone. There is often an understory dominated by sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and its associates. Co-dominants include Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi) and an understory of sagebrush scrub or rabbitbrush scrub (Ericameria spp.).

Federalist No. 18 is an essay by James Madison, the eighteenth of The Federalist Papers. It was first published by The New York Packet on December 7, 1787, under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist papers were published. No. 18 addresses the failures of the Articles of Confederation to satisfactorily govern the United States; it is the fourth of six essays on this topic. It is titled "The Same Subject Continued: The Insufficiency of the Present Confederation to Preserve the Union". Madison draws historical parallels between the Confederation and Ancient Greece, where both the Amphictyonic League and the Achaean League ended in tyranny and disintegration. This illustrated the importance of a closer union.

Italian Bersaglieri Bands (Fanfara dei Bersaglieri) are military bands that belong to the Bersaglieri Corps of the Italian Army. These brass bands are notable for their marching style, playing their instruments while on a jogging pace ahead of their attached units on parade. In the 1800s, every unit in the Bersaglieri had a band known as a "fanfara" or fanfare. Today, this is not the case, with only four Bersaglieri regiments retaining a "fanfara". A fanfare of the Bersaglieri plays exclusively brass.
These bands are the only ones of their kind in the world, another feature is the common performance quick and high tempo marches such as La Marcia dei Bersaglieri, which is the official military march of the Bersaglieri.
History
The first Bersaglieri fanfare band was born on 1 July 1836, when a department left the Ceppi barracks in Turin with wind instruments together with their weapons. The meeting for the musical training of the trumpeters of the various companies gave rise to the battalion fanfare band, which in a few years became an independent unit, while serving the individual companies that also continued to have their own trumpeters. Over time, other wind instruments were added in addition to the trumpets. At this time, the fanfara also began its tradition of marching at a jogging pace. According to popular tradition, the use derives from the entrance in Rome to the breach of Porta Pia in 1870, which was to take place at a charge pace, but which instead spontaneously became a race for the soldiers.
Instrumentation
The instrumentation of the fanfara includes only brass instruments and does not contain any percussion or woodwind instruments. Valved bugles, which were made more popular by the bands, are the premier instrument used in the bands. The specific bugle that they employ in their performances is known as the Bersag horn, which was created before 1870 by Giuseppe Clemente Pelitti. Today, a modernized three-valved form, similar to the trumpet and the soprano bugle of the US drum and bugle corps, is used by the bands. These horns carry the tabards of their specific regiments. Trombones, French horns, baritone horns, euphoniums and tubas are also used in the bands on a smaller scale.
Modern day
Today, these bands are used during special ceremonies involving the different regiments, as well as the Italian Army as a whole. The bands, with 35 musicians each, are most notable for their appearances at the Festa della Repubblica parade on 2 June, in which they always receive some sort of praise. They have been known to take part in arrival ceremonies for world dignitaries, as well as international military events. The 1953 movie Roman Holiday includes a film scene of a Bersaglieri fanfara as part of a military parade in the early part of the picture.

Kareem Roustom () is a Syrian-American composer, music director, and university teacher, noted mainly for his compositions of contemporary classical music, film scores and his collaboration with pop music artists. Among other musical ensembles, his compositions have been performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and at festivals in the U.S., the Middle East and in Europe.
Biography
Roustom was born in Damascus to an American mother and a Syrian father and moved with his family to the U.S. as a teenager. He first attended the Northeastern University program in electrical engineering in 1989 and later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music Business and Music Performance from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell in 1993. From 2004 to 2006, Roustom continued with an M.A. in Ethnomusicology and Composition at Tufts University. His thesis dealt with oud improvisations of notable Egyptian composer and musician Riad Al Sunbati.
Since September 2017, Roustom is Professor of the Practice at the music department of Tufts University, School of Arts and Sciences, where he teaches orchestration, music notation, Music of the Middle East and composition for film. He is also director of the university's Arabic Music Ensemble.
Artistic career
Roustom started playing guitar and the Arabic oud before becoming a composer of contemporary classical music. His compositions have been crossing musical genres: Among others, his music has been commissioned by conductor Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, the Kronos Quartet, and the British choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh. Further, he has written musical arrangements for pop musicians Shakira and Tina Turner, as well as film scores for movies. His music has been performed at festivals and concert venues, including the BBC Proms, the Salzburg Festival, the Lucerne Festival, the Carnegie Hall, the Pierre Boulez Hall and the Teatro Colon.
Roustom's music has been characterized as "rooted in two worlds", with references to both Western and Middle Eastern literary and musical traditions. His clarinet concerto Adrift on the Wine-dark Sea was composed in 2017 for fellow Syrian-American musician Kinan Azmeh and the Deutsches Symphony Orchestra. In composing this work, Roustom was inspired both by Homer’s Odyssey and by the fate of Syrian refugee Doaa Al-Zamel, as "both embark on a perilous sea journey in an attempt to reach home, or a place of refuge." Hurry to the Light, his 2009 composition for string orchestra and vocal ensemble was also inspired by the Odyssey and premiered by A Far Cry chamber orchestra and Lorelei Ensemble in Boston.
His Violin Concerto No. 1 is an homage to Mozart’s historical interest in Arabic and Turkish music. It had its world premiere in 2019, with Michael Barenboim on solo violin and the Barenboim-Said Academy's Boulez Ensemble, conducted by Lahav Shani in Berlin.
In July 2022, British choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh presented her work Clorinda Agonistes - Clorinda the Warrior, a hybrid opera with dance and video projections, at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London and other venues. In the first act, this work follows Claudio Monteverdi's 1624 operatic cantata, Il combattimento di Clorinda e Tancredi, whose story is based on Torquato Tasso's poem Jerusalem Liberated and set in times of the crusades in medieval Jerusalem. To this historical piece, Jeyasingh added Roustom's contemporary music in a second act, using Monteverdi's baroque instrumental textures and rhythms as "points of departure." Both compositions were played live by a string quartet, with tenor Ed Lyon singing the leading parts. Further musical elements chosen by Roustom were the Middle Eastern social dance dabke and the recorded voice of Syrian mezzo-soprano Dima Orsho singing in Arabic."

Babbitt is a neighborhood in North Bergen Township in Hudson County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The area, located west of Tonnelle Avenue within the New Jersey Meadowlands District, is home to light manufacturing, warehouses, transportation facilities, and part of the wetlands preservation area known as the Eastern Brackish Marsh.
Babbitt's Best Soap
The name is taken from the company that produced Babbitt's Best Soap, named after its founder, Benjamin T. Babbitt. In 1904 the company purchased a tract of between Granton and Fairview, and in 1907 relocated from its former premises, a facility on West Street in Lower Manhattan. to what was then one of the largest soap manufacturing plants in the world.
Granton Junction and Babbitt station
The West Shore Railroad, the Erie Railroad's Northern Branch, and the New York, Susquehanna, and Western (NYSW) all passed through the area running parallel to each other. Both Erie and NYSW maintained minor stations nearby 83rd Street, which crossed under the right-of-way of the West Shore. Granton Junction was located just south of the stations and was where NYSW and Erie converged after the latter had also passed under the West Shore. For a time Granton was busy railroad junction used by both the Erie and NYSW, which shared track and stations, including the Susquehanna Transfer. The name Granton comes from a former quarry that later was the site of an important fossil find of a phytosaur. Joint operations between the Erie and NYSW were controlled by GR Tower, which in 1959 was destroyed by fire, ending the relationship. Originally the soap works were outfitted with rail spurs by the NYSW, but the soap company shifted more and more of its traffic to trucks, and in 1909 (apparently in retaliation for the loss of business), anonymous agents of the railroad removed the spur after temporarily imprisoning the factory's workers in a boxcar to prevent any interference. In August 1922, a full Sunday evening Erie train heading south to Pavonia Terminal was struck by bombs thrown at it in what was considered an act of sabotage and an attempt to cause a collision.
CSX and HBLR Northern Branch 91st Street station
The West Shore subsequently became Conrail's River Line, and eventually the CSX River Subdivision which begins to the south at North Bergen Yard. Road access to its Little Ferry Yard is located in Babbitt.
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail extension into eastern Bergen County known as the Northern Branch Corridor Project calls for the closure of the at-grade crossing at 83rd Street and creation of a new one at 85th Street.
A 91st Street (HBLR station) is planned.

Whitehouse refers to an area in North West Area of the town Ipswich, in the Ipswich district, in the county of Suffolk, England. The name comes from a late 17th Century building which still exists and is Grade II listed building near the Norwich Road, but now accessed by Limerick Close.
The White House
The White House itself is next to White House Park. It was a substantial country house on the edge of the village – until it became absorbed into Ipswich as the town grew during the first half of the 20th Century. It can be accessed from Limerick Close. It is listed Grade II which still stands on the edge of the White House estate. It also boasts a gate lodge on Norwich Road. Built as small country house in the late 17th century and altered early 19th century with late 19th century additions. It retains its complete 17th century roof structure. It was used for many years as local government offices.
Lovetofts Drive: running north from the end of Bramford Lane to Whitehouse Road is named after John de Lovetot who had a grant of free warren there in 1277. He died in 1295. There was a manor house known as Lovetofts Hall and a nearby farmhouse which was still shown on the 1955 Ordnance Survey map, but had disappeared by the 1959 map.

The Harding Railroad Car is a historically significant Pullman railroad passenger car located at Pioneer Park (aka Alaskaland) in Fairbanks, Alaska. Also called Denali, and designated with equipment number X-336 by the Alaska Railroad, the car was one of three used to carry a delegation that included President Warren G. Harding in 1923 to the Mears Memorial Bridge for a ceremony marking completion of the railroad between Fairbanks and Seward. The car was purchased by the Alaska Railroad in 1923 from the Great Northern Railroad, and was used in its service until 1945. At the urging of the Fairbanks "igloo" (chapter) of the Pioneers of Alaska, the car was restored in 1959–60 and given to the city of Fairbanks. It was placed in Alaskaland in 1967, created to mark the centennial of the Alaska Purchase. It was used for some years as the park's visitor center.
The car was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Another car, The Superb, carried Harding's remains after he died in San Francisco.

The Battle of Chora took place in and around the town of Chora (3,000 inhabitants), in Afghanistan's Uruzgan Province, from June 15 to 19, 2007. The fighting was between ISAF and Afghan forces on one side and Taliban forces on the other, for the control of the Chora District center, regarded by the Taliban as a tactical target because it provides ground access from unsecured Gizab District in the north to the provincial capital of Tarinkot. According to some press reports, the fighting was the largest Taliban offensive of 2007 in Afghanistan, and resulted in the death of one American, two Dutch, and 16 Afghan soldiers, as well as approximately 58 civilians and 71 Taliban fighters.
Prelude
Uruzgan Province, along with neighboring Kandahar and Helmand provinces in southern Afghanistan, is part of the Taliban's traditional Pashtun tribal stronghold. In Uruzgan, NATO's ISAF mission took over authority for Afghanistan from the U.S.-led coalition in August 2006, resulting in 1,400 Dutch soldiers replacing some 150 U.S. troops at the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Uruzgan's provincial capital, Tarinkot, and other bases. In addition to co-located Afghan battalions, there was an Australian element under Dutch command and contributions from other NATO allies. Uruzgan is 2/3 the size of the Netherlands, but the Dutch presence has been challenged with providing security to areas it patrols regularly. When faced with the security challenge, the Dutch reverted to an "inkspot policy" whereby they focused their attention only on Uruzgan's three population centers, leaving other areas to Taliban control.
Dutch activities included setting up checkpoints, some of which were near the town of Chora. At the time, there were 100 Afghan police in Chora.
Dutch troops were working in Chora on projects such as a school, a mosque, and a bridge, following up on civilian construction projects initiated by the U.S. 60 Dutch troops were deployed in Chora.
Battle
June 15
On Friday evening, June 15, there was some shooting near Chora.
That morning, a Dutch convoy in Tarinkot had been attacked by a suicide bomber, killing a Dutch soldier, Timo Smeehuijzen, and several Afghan civilians.
June 16
A U.S. A-10 Thunderbolt II spotted a group of 60 persons moving toward Chora. Dutch troops at Chora were informed, but the A-10 did not engage the group, due to uncertainty over their identity and intentions.
Shortly after, three Afghan police posts (Kala Kala, Nyazi, and Sarab), on the road linking Chora to Tarinkot came under coordinated attack by a large number of Taliban fighters (the Dutch press claim "800" men, although this number seems impossibly large and cannot be verified). Dutch troops in Chora moved to support the Kala Kala and Nyazi Afghan police posts.
The Taliban captured Sarab police post, killing two brothers of the commander of the post. They also cut off the hands of the wife of a captured policeman, who was forced to watch her mutilation before being beheaded himself. That afternoon, the Dutch withdrew from the Kala Kala and Nyazi checkpoints, allowing the Taliban to capture these posts as well.
The Dutch troops reassembled near the Chora District building and contacted their commander, Colonel Hans van Griensven in Camp Holland at Multi National Base Tarin Kot near Tarinkot, for instructions. Griensven ordered them to stay and fight.
ISAF aircraft provided support and attacked the Taliban, scouts reported that 30 Taliban volunteers, led by individuals nicknamed Kaka and Sadam, were gathered inside a farm at the village of Qal'eh-ye Ragh. An Apache helicopter fired two Hellfire missiles at the farm, killing the Taliban fighters and civilians inside.
Rozi Khan, a local tribal militia leader with shifting loyalties (who was himself killed during October 2008 fighting in the area), offered 150–200 of his fighters to support the defense of Chora. The Dutch and the Chora village leaders accepted Khan's offer reluctantly as the village leaders had to arm Khan's fighters (aware that Khan might later change sides again and turn the weapons on them). A group of Dutch and Australian troops at Camp Holland near Tarinkot moved to Chora, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Rob Querido. The Australian troops deployed in Baluchi Valley, between Tarinkot and Chora, to secure the key road.
Also on Saturday, June 16, U.S. Staff Sergeant Roy P. Lewsader was killed when his vehicle was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade in Tarinkot.
June 17–18
On Sunday, June 17, and Monday, June 18, Dutch reinforcements arrived from Camp Holland and a second Dutch base in Deh Rahwod, increasing the number of Dutch troops at Chora to 500.
50 Afghan National Army reinforcements also arrived in Chinook helicopters. Taliban fighters, who had gained control of most of the residential areas, forced civilians to fight with them or face execution. The Taliban also used civilian homes as shelter, but were still attacked by NATO aircraft, causing civilian casualties. As the fighting continued, many Taliban fighters were killed.
At one time, six Dutch F-16s were in the air, engaging ground targets assigned by the infantry.
On the night of Sunday, June 17, to the morning of Monday, June 18, during the loading of an L16 81mm mortar, which was deployed in the courtyard of the Chora District government building, a round exploded inside the launch tube, killing Dutch Sergeant-Major Jos Leunissen and wounding three other Dutch soldiers.
June 19
At 9:30 a.m., NATO briefly withdrew the aircraft supporting the fighting at Chora, but air support was restored at 9:40 when Col. van Griensven reportedly threatened to withdraw the six Dutch F-16s from NATO command.
At 10:00, Dutch and Afghan troops, together with Rozi Khan's militia, made a push called "Operation Troy", in which they recaptured the three lost checkpoints.

The Bradford Panthers were a motorcycle speedway team based at Odsal Stadium and Greenfield Stadium, in Bradford, Yorkshire, from 1960 to 1963.
History
Odsal
In 1960 the Bradford Tudors renamed themselves the Bradford Panthers. They had one disastrous season at Odsal Stadium with the team finishing bottom of the 1960 Provincial Speedway League before leaving for Greenfield Stadium at Dudley Hill. Speedway did not return to Odsal for a decade.
Greenfield Stadium
The Panthers moved to Greenfield Stadium in 1961. This venue had been used in the Pioneer days and was known as "The Autodrome". The opening meeting was scheduled for 17 July 1961, but due to heavy flooding, construction of the speedway track had been delayed. The contractors commenced work on 18 June, 900 tons of earth was removed and a base of 400 tons of clinker laid, with 240 tons of track dressing finishing the works. As the works overran, the Bradford riders were loaned to Middlesbrough and Newcastle.
Greenfield Stadium was a neat and compact facility typical of the greyhound racing tracks of the time. The stadium was quite small but had held a crowd of 20,000 at one time. The speedway track was laid inside the dog track, which made for relatively poor viewing, and was quite small, approximately 320 yards. The main stand on the School Street side opposite the starting gate had no seating and was covered terracing only. The back straight on the Cutler Heights side had another area of covered terracing. At one end was a huge tote board with no terracing and at the other end the concourse was built up slightly overlooking the dog track with betting windows and a club house. The pits area and car park were in the corner at this end. It was considered a better stadium for speedway racing than Odsal at the time. With a crowd of two thousand people at Greenfield Stadium it produced an atmosphere whereas two thousand people at Odsal would hardly be noticeable.
Johnnie Hoskins, who had introduced speedway at Odsal in 1945, ceremonially opened the new track. Around two thousand five hundred spectators saw the Sheffield Tigers defeat the Panthers 47-30. The Bradford Panthers club colours of blue and yellow were not seen under the new floodlights until late in the season as the commissioning was delayed. Meetings had to begin in the early evening and as a result attendances suffered. The first season was hardly a stunning success, promoter Jess Halliday left the club at the end of the 1961 season.
In 1962, Mike Parker and Eddie Glennon took over the reins and tried to spark some life into what was by now clearly a desperate situation. The Panthers first meeting of the new season was a 44-52 loss to the Poole Pirates, it set the trend, a mere five of twenty-four meetings resulted in a Bradford victory. Fixed firmly to the bottom of the league, the last meeting at Greenfield Stadium was a double header against Sheffield and Leicester on Tuesday 9 October 1962. Ironically the largest crowd of the season saw a rare Bradford victory. It did not stop the Panthers folding soon after and Bradford had to wait until 1970 before speedway was once again staged in the city – at Odsal with the Bradford Northern (speedway) team.

Noree Jockygym (), or another name Khongdee Meekhunapparp (ของดี มีคุณภาพ), is a retired Thai professional boxer who held the WBF Junior lightweight world champion in 1990s.
Biography and career
Jockygym was born at Tambon Nam Kham Yai, Amphoe Yasothon (currently Yasothon province), Ubon Ratchathani province. He loves to boxing since childhood his father took him to a boxing gym "Jocky Gym" in Bangkok's Rama VI Road neighbourhood by Sommart Hongsakul as an owner, trainer, and manager. He ever lost-won with Daorung Chuvatana and a boxing partner for famed Samart Payakaroon and Khaosai Galaxy. At the age of 18, he won Rajadamnern Stadium Junior featherweight champion (comparable to Thailand champion).
He became a rising star when he defeated Naoto Takahashi, a Japanese boxer on February 11, 1990 at Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs. James "Buster" Douglas and won five times in Thailand, he was supported for challenge WBA Junior featherweight world champion with Colombian boxer, Luis Enrique Mendoza on January 20, 1991 at Pantip Plaza, Pratunam, Bangkok but he was knockout in the ninth round. After that, his boxing stats aren't good at all, has lost and won alternately. Later, he was a boxing partner for Saen Sor Ploenchit a rising boxer at that time, because he was a heavier weight class boxer.
In 1997, he changed his manager to Song Kanchanachoosak, a Thai Chinese businessman who had a boxing gym in Yaowarat neighbourhood and renamed to "Khongdee Meekhunapparp". Meekhunapparp challenge the minor institution WBF Junior lightweight world champion with Shawn Simmons, an American boxer at Central Plaza Pinklao, Bangkok Noi District, Bangkok on May 23, 1997 the result is he won by knockout in the fifth round. During this time, he began to return a fame and money until he ignored his wife, she finally divorces him, and he was strip of the WBF title in early 2000. His final fight he was knockout with fellow-countryman Kularbdang Kiatkrerin in the third round on November 10, 2001.
After retirement
After retirement he was arrested by the police for drugs and trafficking in Ya ba (tablets of methamphetamine and caffeine popular in Thailand) in 2001. He was sentenced to three years and six months in prison.
He is now a homeless person. He lives in the Ratchawong Pier, Yaowarat, where he makes a living by helping the tourists and keeping the safety of those who use the Chao Phraya Express Boat. These people will repay him with a small amount of money. Although his relatives persuades him back to his native, he don't go because he was binding to the pier because of the site of his boxing gym in the past.

Tetraborane (systematically named arachno-tetraborane(10)) was the first boron hydride compound to be discovered. It was classified by Alfred Stock and Carl Massenez in 1912 and was first isolated by Stock. It has a relatively low boiling point at 18 °C and is a gas at room temperature. Tetraborane gas is foul smelling and toxic.
History
The class of boranes was elucidated using X-ray diffraction analysis by Lipscomb et al. in the 1950s. The X-ray data indicated two-electron multicenter bonds. Later, analysis based on high-resolution X-ray data was performed to analyze the charge density.
Structure
Like other boranes, the structure of tetraborane involves multicenter bonding, with hydrogen bridges or protonated double bonds. According to its formula, B4H10, it is classified as an arachno-cluster and has a butterfly geometry, which can be rationalized by Wade's rules. Each boron is sp3 hybridized, and “the configuration of the three hydrogens surrounding borons B1 and B3 is approximately trigonal and suggests approximately tetrahedral hybridization for these borons which would predict bond angles of 120°.” However, the boron arrangements can be classified as fragments of either the icosahedron or the octahedron because the bond angles are actually between 105° and 90°.
The comparison of the diffraction data from X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction gave suspected bond lengths and angles: B1—B2 = 1.84 Å, B1—B3= 1.71 Å, B2—B1—B4= 98 ̊, B—H = 1.19 Å, B1—Hμ = 1.33 Å, B2—Hμ =1.43 Å.
Preparation
Tetraborane can be produced via a reaction between acid and magnesium or beryllium borides, with smaller quantities from aluminum, manganese, and cerium borides. Hydrolysis of magnesium boride, hydrogenation of boron halides at high temperatures and the pyrolysis of diborane also produce tetraborane. The hydrolysis of magnesium boride was one of the first reactions to give a high yield (14%) of tetraborane. Phosphoric acid proved to be the most efficient acid (compared to hydrochloric and sulfuric acid) in the reaction with magnesium boride.
Isomers
Scientists are currently working to produce the bis(diboranyl) isomer of the arachno-tetraborane structure. The bis(diboranyl) is expected to have a lower energy at the Hartree-Fock method (HF) level. There is some evidence that the bis(diboranyl) isomer is initially produced when synthesizing tetraborane by the Wurtz reaction or coupling of B2H5I in the presence of sodium amalgam. Three pathways of conversion from the bis(diboranyl) isomer into the arachno-tetraborane structure have been constructed computationally.
Path 1: Dissociative pathway via B3H7 and BH3
Path 2: Concerted pathway over two transition states separated by a local minimum
Path 3: Another concerted pathway involving penta-coordinated isomers as intermediates
Paths 2 and 3 are more likely, because they are more energetically favored with energies of 33.1 kcal/mol and 22.7 kcal/mol respectively.
Safety
Because it is easily oxidized it must be kept under vacuum. Tetraborane ignites when it comes in contact with air, oxygen, and nitric acid. Boranes in general including tetraborane have been deemed very toxic and are biologically destructive. A study consisting of small daily exposure of the chemical to rabbits and rats resulted in fatality.

Equipment Support, sometimes abbreviated as ES or Equip Spt, is a term used to describe maintenance and supply duties of certain Army units in the Western World. The term is sometimes also described as 'materiel', however this term typically refers to the supply of equipment, rather than the actual practice of providing support for certain items.
Uses
United Kingdom
In the British Army, the term is used to describe those units and duties where maintenance units provide support to certain vehicles and equipment. In addition, the term is sometimes used in the following terms "... responsible for maintenance and repairing the Army's equipment'.
Under British Army doctrine, equipment support is defined as follows:

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Carlos Baldomir, billed as Pretty Risky, was a boxing match for the WBC and The Ring welterweight titles. The bout was held on November 4, 2006, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event also featured Robert Guerrero vs. Orlando Salido for the IBF featherweight title. Floyd Mayweather won this bout by a unanimous decision.
Background
Prior to the bout, Mayweather held the IBF welterweight title. Mayweather was slated to fight the WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito in a unification fight but turned down the prospective fight as he and then-promoter, Bob Arum, disagreed on the prize purse. This led to Mayweather buying out his contract under Top Rank.
Mayweather expressed a desire to fight then-WBC super welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya and so Mayweather relinquished his IBF welterweight title in anticipation of the mega bout. Subsequently, the vacant IBF welterweight title was won by Kermit Cintron.
However, the fight would not materialize until after May 5 of the following year, thus Mayweather opted to fight Carlos Baldomir for his WBC and The Ring welterweight titles.
Fight earnings
325,000 pay-per-view buys, $16.3 million in television revenue.

Scatterlings is a studio album by Juluka, a South African band led by Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu. It was released in 1982.
The album contains "Scatterlings of Africa", arguably the band's biggest hit (which would be re-recorded to more international success by Juluka's successor band, Savuka).
Critical reception
Robert Christgau wrote that "being a folkie in South Africa takes a lot more guts than it does in liberal societies, and that's audible all over this album—as are the melodic resources of the Zulu tradition, which happen to be vocal rather than percussive." The Globe and Mail wrote that "the music is an unusual and immensely attractive hybrid of tuneful late sixties English folk (in the Fairport Convention, Renaissance mode) with African rhythms." The Philadelphia Inquirer thought that the band members "are to African music what Crosby, Stills & Nash are to American—namely, wimpy, sappy and awful."
