Detectives in Togas (original title: Caius ist ein Dummkopf; "Caius is an Idiot") is a children's book written by Henry Winterfeld, and translated from the German by Richard and Clara Winston. Set in ancient Rome, the story follows a group of schoolboys who try to solve several crimes: the attack on their teacher and the desecration of a temple wall.
Detectives in Togas was published in 1956, and reissued in 1984, 1990, and 2003. It was marketed for children ages 9–12. It was followed by two sequels: Caius geht ein Licht auf ("Caius has a Revelation"; English title: Mystery of the Roman Ransom) and Caius in der Klemme ("Caius is in Trouble").
Synopsis
Detectives in Togas
During a Greek vocabulary class in the Xanthos School, Rufus plays a prank on Caius involving a wax tablet with the inscription "Caius is an idiot". Caius takes offense and starts a fight with Rufus, and Xantippus permanently dismisses Rufus from his school. When the pupils (sans Caius, who is skipping the day) arrive at the school the next morning, they find Xantippus locked inside his closet. Xantippus tells them that he was knocked out by a burglar the night before. He also admits that Rufus' dismissal was only meant to be a wholesome lesson and that he is welcome to return.
The boys head to inform Rufus about the good news when they discover the words "Caius is an idiot" painted on the wall of the local Minerva temple. Caius' sister Claudia warns them that her father has seen the graffiti and that Caius has implicated Rufus. The boys rush to Rufus to warn him. Rufus swears that he didn't commit the desecration and surmises that someone else must have forged his handwriting. The boys return to the Xanthos School to get the wax tablet, but find it missing. Instead, they discover a gold chain which Xantippus recognizes as the property of the burglar. On a billboard featuring the daily public news is a writ describing the desecration and blaming Rufus by name. The boys return to Rufus's house, but his mother tells them that Rufus has been arrested. As they search Rufus' room, they find his clothes thoroughly soaked.
The boys decide to consult Lukos, a famed seer who lives across the Xanthos School. They present the gold chain so Lukos can find out the burglar's identity, but they are inexplicably chased out, leaving the chain behind. Mucius, who finds Rufus' cloak inside Lukos's house, is accidentally locked in, but finds an escape via a ladder to the roof. Blinded by a storm, Mucius ends up falling through an opening in the roof of a neighboring bathhouse and lands in a pool that is being drained for the night, which saves his life. Locked inside the building, he is found by a bath keeper the next morning and learns that Rufus had also landed in the same bath the previous night.
Xantippus realizes that the writ on the billboard was handed in for publication before the temple wall was desecrated. They learn that the writ was handed in by Tellus, a famous ex-consul known for his lavish parties. Xantippus suspects that one of Tellus' guests must have committed the sacrilege, and Antonius is sent to Tellus under a pretense to study the guest list of that particular day. Arriving in the midst of a feast, Antonius is plied with alcohol by Tellus; but while giving his host the slip, he finds the gold chain and its accompanying cloak inside Tellus' bedroom, indicating a relationship between Tellus and Lukos.
Antonius spots Tellus sneaking into a bakery next to Lukos's house. The boys discover that the bakery's backyard offers entry to Lukos's abode. They sneak inside, but are trapped by Lukos, who confesses that he is responsible for the burglary in the school, the smearing of the temple wall, and Rufus' arrest because the boy had found out his most important secret. As he prepares to lock them up, the boys attack him and knock him out, and discover that Lukos is Tellus in disguise.
When Tellus recovers consciousness, he confesses that he posed as a clairvoyant to pay off the massive debts he had accumulated due to his costly lifestyle. Rufus had sought Lukos out to charm Xanthos into forgetting about his dismissal, but discovered his true identity. When Tellus threatened him, Rufus fled and ended up in the bathhouse. Tellus decided to silence him by stealing the wax tablet and using it as a stencil. He also sent the writ to the Censor's office and reported him to the urban prefect.
The boys force Tellus to write a confession, but then he flees up the ladder to the roof just as Vinicius, Xantippus and a group of praetorians arrive to rescue them. The party tracks Tellus to the bathhouse, where they find him dead after a fatal plunge into an already drained pool, and Rufus is freed in the nick of time.
Mystery of the Roman Ransom
Xantippus' students offer their teacher a birthday gift of a deaf-mute slave named Udo, and Antonius offers him a tame lion to guard the school. Xantippus refuses both offers, and asks the boys to return Udo to his former owner, the slave trader Callon. When they arrive, an old slave tells them that Callon fled after he was threatened by an ex-gladiator named Gorgon seeking Udo. The boys then run into Gorgon, who tries to abduct Udo, but the boys escape and retreat with Udo to their secret cave.
Udo reveals that he only pretended to be deaf and dumb to protect his life. Udo was the personal slave of Marcius Patricius Pollino. His master sent him to Rome with an important message, but when he arrived, he found the meeting point to be a graveyard. Udo hid and overheard the conversation between Gorgon and a short, fat man. Udo learned that the letter contained instructions for Gorgon to murder an important Roman senator and to kill Udo. As Udo fled the graveyard, he lost the letter and ran into a band of gladiators, who sold him to Callon.
When Xantippus arrives, the boys inform him about the plot, and Udo mentions that a stranger had frequently visited Pollino. The boys find the lost letter, a list of unrelated names. Caius realizes that these names, read in a certain way, form the name of Vinicius, his own father. Caius runs off to fetch Tiro, his father's secretary, and alert the urban prefect, Lucius Terrentius Manilius. Udo remembers that Manilius is the name of his master's visitor, and Xantippus sends the boys after Caius.
At the Villa Vinicius, Tiro tells the boys and Claudia that Caius was kidnapped by Gorgon. The boys deduce that Gorgon will likely meet with the fat man in the graveyard the next night. After spending the evening in the villa, the boys rush to the graveyard and eavesdrop on the conspirators. Mucius pursues the fat man, Antonius goes after Gorgon, and the remaining boys return to the school. Antonius later returns to tell them that he had followed Gorgon to the Colosseum and found Caius in one of the dungeon cells. However, he was captured by the gladiators, locked in a vault, and had a lion released on him. The lion was Ramses, the tame lion Antonius wanted to gift to Xantippus. After escaping the Colosseum together, Antonius brought Ramses to the school.
Xantippus and his pupils find that Udo has run away. Gorgon and Minimos, a dwarf gladiator, arrive at the school and demand Udo from them. When Rufus frees Ramses, Gorgon is overpowered and captured, while Minimos flees.
Mucius, following the fat man, discovers that this conspirator is Manilius. After a messenger delivers urgent news of Pollino's arrest by Vinicius to Manilius, the prefect and another conspirator, a barque's captain, decide to flee immediately. After being chased by the barque's crew, Mucius rejoins his friends at the school.
Caius appears, having been freed by Udo, and tells them that he learned that after the battle in the Teutoburg Forest, a handful of legionnaires had escaped the massacre and buried the annihilated legions' war chest, which contained over ten million sestertii in gold. Manilius, one of those legionnaires, recovered the gold with the help of his brother-in-law, Pollino. The Emperor learned of this and tasked Vinicius to recover the gold, but Pollino, who had hidden the gold, committed suicide shortly after his capture. For this failure, the Emperor has sentenced the entire Vinicius family to slavery in the marble quarries.
The boys rush to the villa to save the Vinicius family, only to find that the Emperor has already sent agents to arrest Vinicius. Xantippus arrives with Udo, who has returned after freeing the other captives at the Colosseum. From Udo's story, Xantippus has deduced that the gold is hidden in the cage of a brown bear Pollino had shipped to Rome, with the bear serving as its guardian. Mucius realizes that the cage with the bear has been loaded onto the barque, and Vinicius and the Imperial agents immediately set out to chase it down. Xantippus declares that he will secure Udo's release so he can return home to Gaul, and Caius thanks Udo for saving his life.
Caius Is In Trouble
One day, Caius does not appear in school. The other boys tell Xantippus that they last saw him two nights ago, when they went to fetch tickets at the Circus Maximus for a chariot race featuring the famed racer Ben Gor; however, the tickets were sold out. Caius declared that he would be able to get tickets and stormed off in a rage when the others laughed at him. Mucius saw Caius the next day, a holiday, with a mule and rope ladder.
The boys head for Villa Vinicius to look for Caius, but the villa's doorkeeper tells them that Caius is dead and being buried. The boys return to tell Xantippus, but then Quintus, a retired centurion who served under Vinicius, arrives with a package from Caius' sister Claudia. Xantippus discovers a secret message imploring him to seek out Ben Gor, the only person who could save Caius, who was sentenced to death by the Emperor and about to be executed. However, with the delayed delivery of the message due to the holiday, any help for Caius is now too late.
The next day, the boys return to Villa Vinicius, where Claudia tells them that she has no idea why Caius was executed, and that Ben Gor is a friend of the Vinicius family. Ben Gor is considered a national hero in Rome, leading the boys to believe that Caius must have somehow offended the Emperor while attempting to get spare tickets from Ben Gor. Claudia and the boys are shocked when they see Mopsa, Claudia's pet cat, alive after she had been used as a guinea pig for the poison which had been administered to Caius. The boys quickly realize that if the poison did not work on Mopsa, Caius might still be alive, and they rush for the Vinicius mausoleum, where Caius's coffin has been stored. Inside the coffin, they find their friend, alive but unable to stand up, so the boys ferry the coffin to the Xanthos School.
Caius reveals that after he had separated from the other boys that night, he went to Ben Gor to ask him for spare tickets. Ben didn't have any, but suggested that Caius should go to the Emperor to ask him for some. With the imperial palace closed for the holiday, Caius, obsessed with getting the tickets, rented a mule from a public stable and procured a rope ladder to climb over the palace walls. He succeeded, but was arrested and knocked out by two Praetorian guards before he could explain himself, and subsequently found himself accused of intending to assassinate the Emperor.
A group of Praetorians and an officer of the Emperor's secret police arrive and arrest the boys after it was discovered that Caius' coffin had been taken away. The boys are locked in a dungeon cell, but are visited by Ben Gor, who was alerted by Xantippus. Ben Gor tells the boys that he had explained everything to the Emperor, but the Emperor would only pardon Caius and his friends if Ben Gor wins the race. Ben Gor prevails and scores a triumphant victory, and the Emperor pardons Caius and his friends.
Characters
Caius
The son of Vinicius, a very influential senator. Despite being the featured character in the German titulations, he habitually plays a more secondary role in the stories. He is somewhat slow-witted, stubborn and has a very short temper, and tends to inadvertently plunge his friends into deep trouble (thereby forming the base of their adventures).
Xanthos/"Xantippus"
A Greek scholar who has opened a private school for the sons of wealthy patricians in the heart of Rome. Because of his stern and critical manner, his pupils have given him the nickname "Xantippus", based on Xanthippe, the wife of Socrates. However, whenever the boys get involved in dangerous adventures, he is a ready and very valuable source of knowledge and experience.
Mucius
The oldest of Xanthos' pupils, and as the most level-headed, also the leader of their band. His father is a famous tribune named Marius Domitius.
Rufus
The son of Marcus Praetonius, a famous general of modest wealth. He has an open crush on Caius' sister Claudia.
Antonius
The son of a senator. He is the most adventurous and imaginative of the boys, eager to dream up fanciful confrontations with all sorts of villains, monsters and other dangerous enemies.
Flavius
A senator's son. He is the most cowardly of the boys, but also extremely faithful to his friends and always tags along on their exploits.
Julius
The son of a senator and judge, and therefore quite knowledgable about Roman law. As the most frugal of the boys, he is also their treasurer.
Publius
Son of a senator, and the group's most vociferous complainer who regularly tangles with Caius.
Claudia
Caius' younger sister. Despite her tender years (11-13, as the series progresses), she has assumed the role of the Vinicius household's matron upon her mother's death.
Senator Vinicius
Caius and Claudia's father, and a high-ranking member of the Roman Senate. He is occasionally entrusted with confidential missions by the Emperor.
Reception
In the journal Elementary English, the reviewer calls it a "rousing detective story" and notes that Winterfeld was inspired by actual graffiti found during the excavation of Pompeii. The journal The Classical World says Detectives in Togas is a "simple and lively story". A reviewer in the library journal Collection Management says it
"adds life to the study of ancient civilizations".
The Christian Science Monitor says Detective in Togas "neatly succeeds in constructing a lesson in ancient history around the plot of a whodunit and spinning the whole thing into a great tale for middle school readers". A reviewer in Huntingdon Daily News says the book has a "fascinating setting", and is "full of suspense and excitement".
Kirkus Reviews describes it as "A good story and with its careful attention to Roman ways, this has its sparkle too" and Publishers Weekly calls it "delightful and witty". For the 2003 reissue, reviewer Terri Schmitz says it is "action-packed and filled with details about what daily life was like for patrician Roman boys, providing painless history lessons along with the rousing story lines." The Guardian says readers "end up learning loads of interesting information about Ancient Rome as you go along - and even a bit of Latin!"

The docks and sorrels, genus Rumex, are a genus of about 200 species of annual, biennial, and perennial herbs in the buckwheat family, Polygonaceae.
Members of this genus are very common perennial herbs with a native almost worldwide distribution, and introduced species growing in the few places where the genus is not native.
Some are nuisance weeds (and are sometimes called dockweed or dock weed), but some are grown for their edible leaves. Rumex species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species, and are the only host plants of Lycaena rubidus.
Description
They are erect plants, usually with long taproots. The fleshy to leathery leaves form a basal rosette at the root. The basal leaves may be different from those near the inflorescence. They may or may not have stipules. Minor leaf veins occur. The leaf blade margins are entire or crenate.
The usually inconspicuous flowers are carried above the leaves in clusters. The fertile flowers are mostly hermaphrodites, or they may be functionally male or female. The flowers and seeds grow on long clusters at the top of a stalk emerging from the basal rosette; in many species, the flowers are green, but in some (such as sheep's sorrel, Rumex acetosella) the flowers and their stems may be brick-red. Each seed is a three-sided achene, often with a round tubercle on one or all three sides.
Taxonomy
The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Within the family Polygonaceae, it is placed in the subfamily Polygonoideae. The genus Emex was separated from Rumex by Francisco Campderá in 1819 on the basis that it was polygamous (i.e. had both bisexual and unisexual flowers on the same plant). However, some species of Rumex subg. Acetosa also have this characteristic, and most other features that are supposed to distinguish Emex are found in species of Rumex. Accordingly, in 2015, Schuster et al. demoted Emex to a subgenus of Rumex.
Within the subfamily Polygonoideae, Rumex is placed in the tribe Rumiceae, along with the two genera Oxyria and Rheum. It is most closely related to Rheum, which includes Rhubarb.

Uses
These plants have many uses. Broad-leaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius) used to be called butter dock because its large leaves were used to wrap and conserve butter.
Rumex hymenosepalus has been cultivated in the Southwestern US as a source of tannin (roots contain up to 25%), for use in leather tanning, while leaves and stems are used for a mordant-free mustard-colored dye.
These plants are edible. The leaves of most species contain oxalic acid and tannin, and many have astringent and slightly purgative qualities. Some species with particularly high levels of oxalic acid are called sorrels (including sheep's sorrel Rumex acetosella, common sorrel Rumex acetosa, and French sorrel Rumex scutatus), and some of these are grown as leaf vegetables or garden herbs for their acidic taste.
In the United Kingdom, Rumex obtusifolius is often found growing near stinging nettles, owing to both species favouring a similar environment, and there is a widely held belief that the underside of the dock leaf, squeezed to extract a little juice, can be rubbed on the skin to counteract the itching caused by brushing against a nettle plant. This home remedy is not supported by any science, although it is possible that the act of rubbing may act as a distracting counterstimulation, or that belief in the dock's effect may provide a placebo effect.
In traditional Austrian medicine, R. alpinus leaves and roots have been used internally for treatment of viral infections.
Rumex nepalensis is also has a variety of medicinal uses in the Greater Himalayas, including Sikkim in Northeastern India.
Fossil record
Several fossil fruits of Rumex sp. have been described from middle Miocene strata of the Fasterholt area near Silkeborg in Central Jutland, Denmark.
One fossil fruit of a Rumex species has been extracted from a borehole sample of the Middle Miocene fresh water deposits in Nowy Sacz Basin, West Carpathians, Poland. This fossil fruit is similar to the fruits of the extant species Rumex maritimus and Rumex ucranicus which both have fossil records from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of Europe.

The Juan de Fuca Ridge is a mid-ocean spreading center and divergent plate boundary located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The ridge separates the Pacific Plate to the west and the Juan de Fuca Plate to the east. It runs generally northward, with a length of approximately . The ridge is a section of what remains from the larger Pacific-Farallon Ridge which used to be the primary spreading center of this region, driving the Farallon Plate underneath the North American Plate through the process of plate tectonics. Today, the Juan de Fuca Ridge pushes the Juan de Fuca Plate underneath the North American plate, forming the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Discovery
The first indications of a submarine ridge off the coast of the Pacific Northwest was discovered by the , a United States Navy sloop under the command of George Belknap, in 1874. Surveying a route for an undersea cable between the United States and Japan, the USS Tuscarora discovered a submarine mountain range approximately from Cape Flattery, which they did not consider a major discovery because throughout their voyage they found other locations with a larger profile, making the ridge seem insignificant in comparison.
Geologic history
The Juan de Fuca Ridge was at one point a part of the larger Pacific-Farallon ridge system. Approximately 30 million years ago, the Farallon Plate, being driven outwards by the Pacific-Farallon ridge, was pushed underneath the North American Plate, splitting what remained into the Juan de Fuca Plate to the North and the Cocos Plate and Nazca Plate to the South.
Notable features
Axial Seamount is a submarine volcano located on the ridge at a depth of below sea level, rising above the average ridge height. Axial is the most active volcano in the northeastern Pacific basin, and an underwater cabled observatory has been installed there as a part of the National Science Foundation's Ocean Observatories Initiative, making it one of the best studied volcanoes along mid-ocean ridges globally.
The Endeavour segment in the northern end of the ridge is another active and highly studied region. Sharp chemical and thermal contrasts, high levels of seismic activity, dense biological communities, and unique hydrothermal systems all make the segment a primary focus of research.
Some of the most intense and most active hydrothermal vents are located along the Endeavour segment, with more than 800 individual known chimneys within the ridge's central region, and a total of five major hydrothermal fields along the ridge. These chimneys release large amounts of sulphur-rich minerals into the water, which allow bacteria to oxidize organic compounds and metabolize anaerobically. This allows for a diverse ecosystem of organisms to exist in the low-oxygen conditions near the seafloor around the ridge.
Eruptions and earthquakes
The first documented eruption on the Juan de Fuca Ridge took place on the Cleft segment in 1986 and 1987. Hydrothermal megaplumes indicated a large rifting event, releasing hydrothermal fluids as a result of lavas being extruded from a dike. A majority of the eruptions along the ridge are dike injection events, where molten rock is extruded between cracks in the crust's sheeted dike layer. Typically eruptive events can be predicted, as they are preceded by large earthquake swarms in the region.
A significant event took place in June 1993, lasting 24 days at the CoAxial segment. Cruises deployed as a result of the eruption sampled event plumes, cooling lava flows, and discovered microbial communities living on the seafloor around the ridge.
In February 1996, an event consisting of 4,093 earthquakes, lasting 34 days was recorded at the Axial Volcano, yielding similar scientific results to the 1993 eruption.
In January 1998 an event consisting of 8,247 earthquakes lasted 11 days at Axial Seamount. Lava was released from the caldera of the volcano, flowing down the southern side of the mountain, creating a sheet flow over 3 km long and 800m wide. This was the first time an underwater eruption had been monitored in-situ in real-time.
In June 1999, 1,863 earthquakes were recorded over 5 days, and a hydrothermal temperature increase was observed at the Main Endeavour segment.
In September 2001, 14,215 earthquakes were detected over a 25-day period in the Middle Valley segment.
Researchers at Oregon State University suggested the Axial Seamount had an eruption interval of approximately 16 years, which would place the next major Axial eruption in 2014. In 2011, during a dive on the seamount, new lava flows were discovered and some instruments had been buried in lava flows, indicating the volcano had erupted since the last expedition to the ridge. This is considered the first successful forecast of a seamount eruption. The caldera floor dropped by more than 2 meters after the eruption, and the rate at which it inflates as Axial's magma chamber refills can be used to once again predict the next eruption.
Tectonic activity
The ridge is a medium rate spreading center, moving outwards at a rate of approximately per year. Tectonic activity along the ridge is monitored primarily with the U.S. Navy's Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) array of hydrophones, allowing for real time detection of earthquakes and eruptive events.
The Juan de Fuca Plate is being pushed east underneath the North American Plate, forming what is known as the Cascadia subduction zone off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The plate does not subduct smoothly and can become 'locked' with the North American plate. When this happens, strain builds up until the contact suddenly slips, triggering massive earthquakes up to or greater than magnitude 9. Major earthquakes along this zone occur on average every 550 years and can have major impacts on the physical structure of the North American continent and seafloor.

Edward Eugene Buck (August 7, 1885 – February 24, 1957) was an American illustrator of sheet music, musical theater lyricist, and president of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
Early career
Buck was born in Detroit, growing up in Corktown. He studied at Detroit Art Academy, which had been founded by Joseph Gies and Francis P. Paulus. He illustrated for music publishers Ted Snyder, Edward H. Pfeiffer, and Jerome H. Remick. His cover illustrations had a personal touch and showed art deco and art nouveau elements. Dean Cornwell called him "the first artist I ever copied". By 1910 Buck was writing lyrics for composer Dave Stamper; his first hit was "Daddy has a Sweetheart, and Mother is her Name". He wrote about 500 songs, including "In the Cool of the Evening", "No Foolin'", "Garden of My Dreams", "Someone, Someday, Somewhere", and "Hello, 'Frisco". After 1914 he gave up illustration due to his failing eyesight.
Ziegfeld
Buck collaborated with Florenz Ziegfeld, first on the Ziegfeld Follies (1912–26) and then originating the Midnight Frolics (1914–26), writing skits and lyrics and acting as talent scout. In the August 1915 Frolic he gave Will Rogers a break, permitting him to introduce topical humour into his act despite Ziegfeld's misgivings. He also discovered Ed Wynn. In 1919, he persuaded Joseph Urban to design the sets for the Follies. In 1926, Rogers dubbed Buck "the Frank W. Stearns of the Ziegfeld Administration".
Later career
Buck became wealthy and had a luxurious lifestyle. He was a neighbor of F. Scott Fitzgerald at Great Neck, and may have inspired elements of The Great Gatsby. Ring Lardner, who collaborated with Buck on several plays, called Buck's living room "the Yale Bowl — with lamps". Buck was also a friend of O. O. McIntyre. and acquaintance of Louisiana Senator Huey P. Long (Huey Long, T. Harry Williams, 1969).
In 1927 Buck bought the Waldorf Theatre, renaming it the Gene Buck Waldorf, and producing and directing his own musical Take the Air there. He collaborated with Mischa Elman and Augustus Thomas on an operetta.
ASCAP
Buck was president of ASCAP from 1925 to 1942, an era in which the growing popularity of radio was hitting songwriters' previously primary market for sheet music. His tenure also coincided with several anti-trust investigations by the US government, and the 1941 ASCAP boycott when radio stations demanded reduced performance royalties. The relative failure of the boycott precipitated his being voted out as president. In 1940, he served as Master of Ceremonies for the popular song portion of a "Carousel of American Music", a famous concert series held in San Francisco on September 24. The concert had Irving Berlin, George M. Cohan, Jerome Kern, Hoagy Carmichael, WC Handy, Johnny Mercer - and many more of America's top songwriting talents performing their own compositions. The recording was added to the National Recording Registry in 2016. Before this, Buck appointed an ASCAP committee which in 1943 produced a revised schedule of songwriter payment levels; the schedule was dubbed the "Ahlert Plan" after Buck's successor as ASCAP president. He became president of the Catholic Actors' Guild of America in 1944.
Personal life
Buck married actress Helen Falconer (d.1968) in a Catholic ceremony in New York City on 2 October 1919. He died after emergency surgery at North Shore Hospital, Manhasset. At his death, he was president of the Catholic Actors Guild. His son Gene Buck, Jr was an assistant in 1947 on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Gene and Helen also had a second son George W. Buck.

The Master of Science in Marketing (or MS Marketing) is a graduate degree that prepares the student to work in middle-management-and-above marketing positions. The specific field within marketing will depend on the student, their program, and the firm with which they will work. Fields may include brand management, digital marketing, integrated marketing communication, marketing analytics and research, marketing strategy, pricing strategy and many others.
The key difference between the MS Marketing degree and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is the required number of marketing courses in the degree. Typically the MBA degree may have a concentration in marketing or other fields of 4-6 courses. The MS Marketing degree will usually have 10-12 marketing courses. The MBA will offer courses in accounting, finance, business strategy, marketing, organizational behavior and other general business courses in much less depth than a specialized degree such as the MS Marketing degree that requires marketing courses, supplemented with perhaps a few electives in other areas such as analytics.

DA! was a Chicago-based post-punk band of the early 1980s, known for their songs "Dark Rooms" and "Time Will Be Kind". Their sound was influenced by artists such as the Cure, Gang of Four, Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
History
DA! was formed in 1977 by a 17-year-old singer and bass guitarist, Lorna Donley, along with the guitarist and keyboard player Evelyn Marquis and the drummer Dawn Fisher. This line-up performed only once, and the guitarist Gaylene Goudreau (who had previously played with the all-girl punk band Lois Layne) was added in late 1979.
By early 1980, DA! had replaced Marquis with the guitarist David Thomas (who had previously played in St. Louis punk bands The Singapores and Cool Jerk). By that summer, the band had become a fixture on Chicago's early punk music scene, performing regularly at area clubs like Exit, Oz, O'Banion's, Tuts, Waves and Space Place and opening for visiting groups including the Fall, DNA, Bauhaus and Mission of Burma.
DA!'s manager, Terry Nelson, a local punk radio DJ, formed Autumn Records with the producer George Kapoulas. DA! began to record demos in late summer 1980 with Timothy Powell and Metro Mobile. The first single, "Dark Rooms"/"White Castles", was produced at Acme Studios by Kapoulas and Mike Rasfeld. With the spring 1981 release of the single, DA! attracted attention from outside Chicago, and performed in Milwaukee with the Ama-Dots, in Minneapolis with Hüsker Dü, and in Madison with X. Kapoulas, an engineer at WGN-TV, produced a music video for the single and "Dark Rooms" went into heavy rotation on "Rock America", a pre-MTV video cable service available in music clubs. "Dark Rooms" was the "music video of the day" at Chicagoist on March 22, 2013.
DA! appeared on the next Autumn Records release, a 1981 compilation LP titled Busted at Oz. Recorded over three nights, it had live recordings by DA! and other Chicago punk bands including Strike Under, Naked Raygun, Silver Abuse, The Subverts and The Effigies.
Following the release of the Busted at Oz LP, Fisher was briefly replaced by the Strike Under drummer, Bob Furem. DA! recorded the Time Will Be Kind EP with Powell at Sound Impressions in late 1981, but by the time of its 1982 release, the group had disbanded.
DA! and Donley appeared in You Weren’t There, a 2007 film about the Chicago punk scene from 1977 to 1984. In 2010, Factory 25 Records released Exclamation Point, a vinyl LP compiling the band's previously released and unreleased material. DA! played two Chicago shows in 2010 to support the LP, the first with Furem on drums, the second with a new drummer, Jason Batchko. Their reunion concert at the Abbey Pub was documented in Robert Beshara's DA! Concert Film (2012), which was screened at the Chicago International Movies and Music Festival.
Donley, later a librarian in the Chicago Public Library system, died on December 1, 2013, due to a ruptured aorta.
The music historian Joel Whitburn once speculated that the band had recorded "Ready 'N Steady", a lost song credited to "D.A." that appeared on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart for three weeks in 1979. The band insisted that they had not recorded it, and Whitburn withdrew his speculation regarding DA!'s involvement with the song. The song was found in 2016, at which point the "D.A." who recorded that song was revealed to be the amateur singer/songwriter Dennis A. Lucchesi of California.

UNeDocs, or United Nations electronic Trade Documents, was a planned document standard for global electronic trade within UN/CEFACT. The project was suspended and placed under review in 2009 by the UN/CEFACT Bureau.
UNeDocs' goal was to provide a single adaptable electronic document for trade transactions. Due to the standardizations, users could automate various documentation tasks.
Later on, a UNeDocs 2.0 was passed, and now plays a responsibility in the (CBRDM) Cross Border Reference Data Model.
In the complicated process, UNeDocs is part of National Data Harmonization and Cross Border Data Exchange

Abortion in Vanuatu is severely restricted by criminal law. Abortion is illegal under the provisions of section 117 of the Vanuatu Penal Code, Act No. 17 or 7 August 1981. The code states that any woman who intentionally induces a miscarriage is subject to up to two years' imprisonment. Abortion is illegal in cases of rape, incest, and threats to fetal health. The only allocations for abortion are "for good medical reasons", which a United Nations report interprets as to save the life of the pregnant woman and to preserve her physical and mental health. Section 113 of the code states that "No person shall, when a woman is about to be delivered of the child, prevent the child from being born alive by any act or omission of such a nature that, if the child had been born alive and had, then died..." although the italicized statement is vague about its meaning.
Self-induced abortions
The Vanuatu Family Health Association reports various methods women use for self-induced abortions, including the use of local leaves or bark from a tree. Abortions like this that are outside of the medical system endanger the lives of women, as even an immediate visit to a nearby hospital or clinic may be futile if that medical facility does not have the equipment to repair any damage.

Joseph Sedacca Residence or Sedacca House in Northwest Harbor, New York is the third residential house designed by the American architect Charles Gwathmey (1938–2009).
The house, the curtilage of which covers 3 acres, was built by John Caramagna in 1968 is surrounded by tall white pine trees and dogwoods. It is the first modernist beach residence designed by the American architect Charles Gwathmey. After the 1100-square-feet house was built in 1968, the exterior combination with geometric shapes and blocks, plus its interior abundance use of glasses and steels with a stylish spiral staircase, made it stand out in a neighborhood dominated by shingle style Cape Cod houses. Sedacca House was frequently the background of wedding photos and appeared on the cover pages and articles of both American and other fashion and architecture magazines. In 1968, Sedacca House won the American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York Honor Award. In Gwathmey's words, "[It] broke the mold of the vernacular, shingle-style house and showed for the first time a modern house that was not imitative or historicist.” The Sedacca House has been sold a few times. Still, it receives significant local concern about added alteration and global attention as a distinguished modernist architecture in East Hampton.
Background
Recommended by Paul Marvin Rudolph, an American architect and the chair of Yale University's Department of Architecture, Joseph Sedacca contracted the residence project from Rudolph's student Charles Gwathmey, who just received his Master of Architecture degree in 1962 from Yale School of Architecture and accomplished Robert Gwathmey Residence and Straus Residence. Joseph Sedacca was the graphic designer in the American Museum of Natural History and spent over thirty years as the manager of Exhibitions and Graphics Department. After several meetings and interviews, Sedacca and Gwathmey found they shared the same artistic inspiration and interest, leading to the birth of the modern beach house.

Carboxypeptidase A4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPA4 gene.
This gene is a member of the carboxypeptidase A/B subfamily, and it is located in a cluster with three other family members on chromosome 7. Carboxypeptidases are zinc-containing exopeptidases that catalyze the release of carboxy-terminal amino acids, and are synthesized as zymogens that are activated by proteolytic cleavage. This gene could be involved in the histone hyperacetylation pathway. It is imprinted and may be a strong candidate gene for prostate cancer aggressiveness.

The European Thesaurus on International Relations and Area Studies (abbreviated: European Thesaurus) is a multilingual, interdisciplinary thesaurus covering the subject fields of International Relations and Area Studies. The European Thesaurus consists of about 8.200 descriptors organised in 24 subdomains. To enhance the access to the thesaurus’ controlled vocabulary the descriptors are arranged both alphabetically as well as systematically. The semantic relationships (equivalence, hierarchy, association) between all individual descriptors have been established. The European Thesaurus is intended to be used primarily in bibliographic databases for indexing and retrieval of professional literature from the relevant domains. The European Thesaurus can, in addition, even serve as a terminological reference work and/or as a translation tool in international affairs matters.
The European Thesaurus was developed by an international working group in the framework of a terminology cooperation project carried out by the European Information Network on International Relations and Area Studies (EINIRAS).
The European Thesaurus is available in nine languages: Croatian, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish. A Greek version is currently being translated.
At present the European Thesaurus is applied by academic organisations and research institutes in Germany (German Information Network International Relations and Area Studies – database World Affairs Online –), the Czech Republic (Institute of International Relations Prague) and Poland (Polish Institute of International Affairs, Warsaw). The European Thesaurus is updated regularly.
The European Thesaurus is publicly accessible via the academic internet portal IREON (International RElations and area studies ONline).

was the ninth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto during the Edo period It was located in the present-day city of Fukaya, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
History
Unlike many of the post towns that existed during the Edo period before the creation of the Nakasendō, Fukaya-shuku was established to be a part of the Nakasendō. During the Sengoku period, it was home to Fukaya Castle, belonging to the Uesugi clan, and near the post station was the jin'ya of Okabe Domain, a 20,000 koku holding under the Tokugawa shogunate
Per an 1843 guidebook issued by the , the town had one honjin, four waki-honjin, and 80 hatago, with a population of 1928 persons.
Fukaya-shuku was approximately 20 ri 27 cho from the starting point of the Nakasendō at Nihonbashi, which made it the favored stopping point for merchant-class travelers on their second day out from Edo, especially since Fukaya-shuku was famous for its large number of Meshimori onna and numerous chaya, whereas the previous station, Kumagai-shuku had neither.
Two large (4 meter tall) stone lanterns marked the entry to Fukaya-shuku, and these lanterns still exist. The gate of the former honjin has also been preserved.
Fukaya-shuku in The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō
Keisai Eisen's ukiyo-e print of Fukaya-shuku dates from 1835–1838. The print depicts four meshimori onna on the road accompanied by a servant carrying a lantern. The sign on the lantern read “take”, advertising "Takenouchi" one of the publishers of the series of prints. To the left, more prostitutes are waiting in a display window, similar to the brothels of Yoshiwara, with a signboard again advertising "Takenouchi". In the center of the composition, two travelers are taking off their footwear and are preparing to enter the establishment. To the right are numerous other people, depicted as shadows in the early evening.

Stuart Lee Murdoch (born 25 August 1968) is a Scottish musician, writer and filmmaker, and the lead singer and songwriter for the indie pop band Belle and Sebastian.
Early life
Murdoch's parents made him take piano lessons during his childhood, and he claims not to have enjoyed them at the time but now "appreciates this decision vastly". Apart from early musical activities at secondary school (at age 12 he formed a band with fellow pupils, in which he played piano), Murdoch first became publicly involved in music as a radio DJ for Subcity Radio at the University of Glasgow.
While at university at the end of the 1980s, he became ill with myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome, and was unable to work for seven years. Murdoch said that the isolation of these years led to his becoming a songwriter: "That was a big desert at the time, a kind of vacuum in my life. From that, these songs started coming out, these melodies where I could express what I was feeling." By early 1995 Murdoch had largely recovered from his illness and began to look for fellow musicians to form a band, which became Belle & Sebastian. Murdoch's struggle with chronic fatigue syndrome is the subject of the song "Nobody's Empire" on Belle & Sebastian's album Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance.
Influence of religion
This was also when he began living above a church hall and working as its caretaker, a position he maintained until 2003. In 2004 Murdoch told The Guardian, "I'm not actually a Christian with a capital C. I'm still asking questions. But I had this time when I found myself singing all these old hymns in my kitchen and I couldn't work out why I was doing it. Then one Sunday morning I got up, looked at my watch, and thought, 'I wonder if I could make it to a church service?' It was so welcoming. It just felt like you were coming home. Twelve years later, I've never left".
Murdoch's interest in faith has been perceptible in his lyrics. Belle and Sebastian's first album included lines about "reading the Gospel to yourself," and on the second Murdoch sang of "the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever." Religious references became more confident and direct on later albums, including "If You Find Yourself Caught in Love" (which continues "say a prayer to the man above"; this line becomes a refrain) on the album Dear Catastrophe Waitress and the two-part "Act of the Apostle" on The Life Pursuit. Of "If You Find Yourself Caught in Love," Murdoch told Gross, "At the time I was writing it I thought, well, should I be so overt? Because I've often couched any religious overtones within characters in the past, but this is a bit more out there. And then I just thought, come on, you've been doing this for years, why not? Why not just be a bit more straightforward?"
Sexually ambiguous lyrics in Belle & Sebastian's music have prompted Murdoch to confirm his heterosexuality in the press, calling himself "straight to the point of boring myself".
Personal life
Murdoch ran the Glasgow Marathon in 1986, and finished with a time of three hours.
Murdoch is a vegetarian. He married longtime girlfriend Marisa Privitera on 26 November 2007 in New York City. Privitera is on the cover of Belle and Sebastian's DVD Fans Only and LP The Life Pursuit. Their eldest son, Denny (named after his goddaughter), was born in May 2013. Their second son Nico was born in November 2016.
Murdoch is a fan of American baseball, in particular the New York Mets and Hall of Fame catcher Mike Piazza, whom he wrote about in "Piazza, New York Catcher".
Murdoch dated Tracyanne Campbell, the lead singer of the band Camera Obscura, for three years in the 2000s.
Murdoch was diagnosed with colour blindness at an early age and does not drink. "I like a Scotch whisky but I'm allergic to alcohol, would you believe, which is a tragedy in itself", he has said. "It's only in the last couple of years. I got eczema and one of the things I had to do to get rid of it was give up alcohol".
In 2009, Murdoch contributed the song "Another Saturday" to the AIDS benefit album Dark Was the Night, produced by the Red Hot Organization. He was one of the most notable protesters attending a 5 December 2009 march in Glasgow supporting governmental intervention to combat climate change, prior to the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen.
In 2010 Murdoch published his first memoir, The Celestial Café. In 2012–2013 he wrote and directed the musical feature film God Help the Girl, released internationally and online in 2014.
Murdoch has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Letter frequency is the number of times letters of the alphabet appear on average in written language. Letter frequency analysis dates back to the Arab mathematician Al-Kindi (–873 AD), who formally developed the method to break ciphers. Letter frequency analysis gained importance in Europe with the development of movable type in 1450 AD, where one must estimate the amount of type required for each letterform. Linguists use letter frequency analysis as a rudimentary technique for language identification, where it is particularly effective as an indication of whether an unknown writing system is alphabetic, syllabic, or ideographic.
The use of letter frequencies and frequency analysis plays a fundamental role in cryptograms and several word puzzle games, including Hangman, Scrabble, Wordle and the television game show Wheel of Fortune. One of the earliest descriptions in classical literature of applying the knowledge of English letter frequency to solving a cryptogram is found in Edgar Allan Poe's famous story The Gold-Bug, where the method is successfully applied to decipher a message giving the location of a treasure hidden by Captain Kidd.
Herbert S. Zim, in his classic introductory cryptography text "Codes and Secret Writing", gives the English letter frequency sequence as "ETAON RISHD LFCMU GYPWB VKJXZQ", the most common letter pairs as "TH HE AN RE ER IN ON AT ND ST ES EN OF TE ED OR TI HI AS TO", and the most common doubled letters as "LL EE SS OO TT FF RR NN PP CC". Different ways of counting can produce somewhat different orders.
Letter frequencies also have a strong effect on the design of some keyboard layouts. The most frequent letters are placed on the home row of the Blickensderfer typewriter, the Dvorak keyboard layout, Colemak and other optimized layouts.
Background
The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis, and frequency analysis in particular, dating back to the Arab mathematician Al-Kindi (c. 801–873 AD), who formally developed the method (the ciphers breakable by this technique go back at least to the Caesar cipher invented by Julius Caesar, so this method could have been explored in classical times). Letter frequency analysis gained additional importance in Europe with the development of movable type in 1450 AD, where one must estimate the amount of type required for each letterform, as evidenced by the variations in letter compartment size in typographer's type cases.
No exact letter frequency distribution underlies a given language, since all writers write slightly differently. However, most languages have a characteristic distribution which is strongly apparent in longer texts. Even language changes as extreme as from Old English to modern English (regarded as mutually unintelligible) show strong trends in related letter frequencies: over a small sample of Biblical passages, from most frequent to least frequent, of Old English compares to of modern English, with the most extreme differences concerning letterforms not shared.
Linotype machines for the English language assumed the letter order, from most to least common, to be based on the experience and custom of manual compositors. The equivalent for the French language was .
Arranging the alphabet in Morse into groups of letters that require equal amounts of time to transmit, and then sorting these groups in increasing order, yields . Letter frequency was used by other telegraph systems, such as the Murray Code.
Similar ideas are used in modern data-compression techniques such as Huffman coding.
Letter frequencies, like word frequencies, tend to vary, both by writer and by subject. For instance, occurs with greater frequency in fiction, as most fiction is written in past tense and thus most verbs will end in the inflectional suffix -ed / -d. One cannot write an essay about x-rays without using frequently. Different authors have habits which can be reflected in their use of letters. Hemingway's writing style, for example, is visibly different from Faulkner's. Letter, bigram, trigram, word frequencies, word length, and sentence length can be calculated for specific authors, and used to prove or disprove authorship of texts, even for authors whose styles are not so divergent.
Accurate average letter frequencies can only be gleaned by analyzing a large amount of representative text. With the availability of modern computing and collections of large text corpora, such calculations are easily made. Examples can be drawn from a variety of sources (press reporting, religious texts, scientific texts and general fiction) and there are differences especially for general fiction with the position of and , with becoming more common.
Also, to note that different dialects of a language will also affect a letter's frequency. For example, an author in the United States would produce something in which is more common than an author in the United Kingdom writing on the same topic: words like "analyze", "apologize", and "recognize" contain the letter in American English, whereas the same words are spelled "analyse", "apologise", and "recognise" in British English. This would highly affect the frequency of the letter as it is a rarely used letter by British speakers in the English language.
The "top twelve" letters constitute about 80% of the total usage. The "top eight" letters constitute about 65% of the total usage. Letter frequency as a function of rank can be fitted well by several rank functions, with the two-parameter Cocho/Beta rank function being the best. Another rank function with no adjustable free parameter also fits the letter frequency distribution reasonably well (the same function has been used to fit the amino acid frequency in protein sequences.) A spy using the VIC cipher or some other cipher based on a straddling checkerboard typically uses a mnemonic such as "a sin to err" (dropping the second "r") or "at one sir" to remember the top eight characters.
Relative frequencies of letters in the English language
There are three ways to count letter frequency that result in very different charts for common letters. The first method, used in the chart below, is to count letter frequency in root words of a dictionary. The second is to include all word variants when counting, such as "abstracts", "abstracted" and "abstracting" and not just the root word of "abstract". This system results in letters like appearing much more frequently, such as when counting letters from lists of the most used English words on the Internet. A final variant is to count letters based on their frequency of use in actual texts, resulting in certain letter combinations like becoming more common due to the frequent use of common words like "the", "then", "both", "this", etc. Absolute usage frequency measures like this are used when creating keyboard layouts or letter frequencies in old fashioned printing presses.
An analysis of entries in the Concise Oxford dictionary, ignoring frequency of word use, gives an order of "EARIOTNSLCUDPMHGBFYWKVXZJQ".
The letter-frequency table below is taken from Pavel Mička's website, which cites Robert Lewand's Cryptological Mathematics.
According to Lewand, arranged from most to least common in appearance, the letters are: etaoinshrdlcumwfgypbvkjxqz. Lewand's ordering differs slightly from others, such as Cornell University Math Explorer's Project, which produced a table after measuring 40,000 words.
In English, the space character occurs almost twice as frequently as the top letter () and the non-alphabetic characters (digits, punctuation, etc.) collectively occupy the fourth position (having already included the space) between and .
Relative frequencies of the first letters of a word in English language
The frequency of the first letters of words or names is helpful in pre-assigning space in physical files and indexes. Given 26 filing cabinet drawers, rather than a 1:1 assignment of one drawer to one letter of the alphabet, it is often useful to use a more equal-frequency-letter code by assigning several low-frequency letters to the same drawer (often one drawer is labeled VWXYZ), and to split up the most-frequent initial letters () into several drawers (often 6 drawers Aa-An, Ao-Az, Ca-Cj, Ck-Cz, Sa-Si, Sj-Sz). The same system is used in some multi-volume works such as some encyclopedias. Cutter numbers, another mapping of names to a more equal-frequency code, are used in some libraries.
Both the overall letter distribution and the word-initial letter distribution approximately match the Zipf distribution and even more closely match the Yule distribution.
Often the frequency distribution of the first digit in each datum is significantly different from the overall frequency of all the digits in a set of numeric data, see Benford's law for details.
An analysis by Peter Norvig on Google Books data determined, among other things, the frequency of first letters of English words.
A June 2012 analysis using a text document containing all words in the English language exactly once, found to be the most common starting letter for words in the English language, followed by .

Lockhart River is a town in the Aboriginal Shire of Lockhart River and a coastal locality split between the Aboriginal Shire of Lockhart River and the Shire of Cook, on the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. The town is an Aboriginal community. In the , Lockhart River had a population of 724 people.
From 1924 to 1967, the Lockhart River Mission was run by the Anglican Church.
Geography
Lockhart River is a coastal Aboriginal community situated on the eastern coast of the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. The population consists mostly of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, whose ancestors were forcibly moved to the area beginning in 1924.
The locality includes a number of islands off the east coast: Chapman Island, Lloyd Island, Rocky Island, Sherrard Island, and Sunter Island (all of which are in the Aboriginal Shire of Lockhart River).
It is north by road from Cairns and approximately by road north of Brisbane. Lockhart River is the northernmost town on the east coast of Australia. The community is also located approximately inland from Quintell Beach and within the Kutini-Payamu National Park.
History
Early European history
Lockhart River takes its name from the river located south of the community. The river was named by explorer Robert Logan Jack in January 1880, after a close friend, Hugh Lockhart.
Non-Indigenous people first arrived in 1848, when the explorer Edmund Kennedy set up a base camp near the mouth of the Pascoe River at Weymouth Bay. Kennedy left eight men at the camp but by the time they were located by the supply ship, only two remained alive, the other six having died from disease and starvation.
By the 1870s, fishermen with luggers looking for trepang, pearl shell, and trochus were in the coastal areas. Miners in search of tin and gold, along with timber cutters, were in the hills around Gordon Creek and the country inland around the Wenlock River.
Lockhart River Mission (1924–1967)
The Anglican Church established a mission at Orchid Point near the Lockhart River in 1924, at a location that had been a centre of a sandalwood trade. Aboriginal people came and were collected from parts of the Cape York Peninsula and placed at the mission, known as the Lockhart River Mission, Old Lockhart River Mission, or just Lockhart Mission. Six months later, the mission was relocated to Bare Hill, south of Cape Direction. In the 1930s, Lamalama people were forcibly relocated to the mission from the Port Stewart area, but they later returned. In 1939, many people who had earlier been removed from Coen to the mission, returned to the Coen area.
After the Second World War broke out, the European superintendent went on furlough in 1942, and the Aboriginal people were told to go to several bush camps and fend for themselves. After six months, in July 1942, the mission was reopened but with poor resources and a lack of funding. Things improved under superintendent John Warby in the 1950s. A cooperative society was created in 1954 by the Rev. Alf Clint for the management of the trochus shell industry, until the market failed. New houses were built and a village was created on the ocean side.
In 1967, the church handed over the mission to the Queensland government, which tried to relocate the people to Bamaga. Most of the people refused to go. In 1968–1969, the people were relocated from the traditional area of the Uutaalnganu people on the coast to a new site in Kuuku Ya'u country, further north and inland from Quintel Beach. This move and the assimilation policy of the new administration resulted in much discontent and friction.
The Lockhart River Community was given Deed of Grant in Trust (DOGIT) title to the lands in 1987. Locally elected councillors now provide administration for the Lockhart River DOGIT.
Other 20th-century history
Lockhart State School opened on January 1, 1924.
During World War II, Lockhart River Airport was constructed as a large American bomber base with three airstrips operating. The US bombers flew to Papua New Guinea and were met by their fighter escorts based at Bamaga and Horn Island further north. Many thousands of troops, both US and Australian, passed through as part of their jungle training before being shipped to southeast Asia, and many sorties from the base were flown against Japanese forces during the critical Battle of the Coral Sea, May 4–8, 1942. Portland Roads community, north of Lockhart River, was the supply port for the war effort with a large jetty. This jetty has since been removed. Many old bunkers and rusting 44 gallon drums can still be found in bush areas.
Iron Range Post Office opened on November 5, 1936, closed in 1942, reopened in 1950, and was renamed Lockhart River in 1978.

SA227-DC Metro 23 aircraft, registered VH-TFU, with two pilots and 13 passengers, was being operated by Transair on an instrument flight rules regular public transport service from Bamaga to Cairns, with an intermediate stop at Lockhart River, Queensland. At 1143:39 Eastern Standard Time, the aircraft impacted terrain in the Kutini-Payamu National Park on the north-western slope of South Pap, a heavily timbered ridge, approximately north-west of the Lockhart River aerodrome. At the time of the accident, the crew was conducting an area navigation global navigation satellite system (GNSS) nonprecision approach to runway 12. The aircraft was destroyed by the impact forces and an intense, fuel-fed, post-impact fire. There were no survivors.
On April 11, 2014, the former locality of Lockhart was split into two new localities: Iron Range and Lockhart River.
Population
At the 2006 census, Lockhart River had a population of 542, which increased to 642 at the 2011 Census.
In the , Lockhart River had a population of 724 people.
Governance
Lockhart River is both a town located in the Aboriginal Shire of Lockhart River and a coastal locality split between the Aboriginal Shire of Lockhart River and the Shire of Cook.
Climate
Lockhart River has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen: Aw) bordering on a tropical monsoon climate (Am). There are two distinct seasons based on precipitation, as mean temperatures remain hot to very hot year-round, ranging from 23.6 °C (74.5 °F) in July to 28.3 °C (82.9 °F) in December. The longer wet season from November to May is hot, humid, and rainy; with high dew points making the heat feel oppressive. The shorter dry season from June to October is hot without much precipitation, but the strong influence of the sea keeps the heat muggy, although less uncomfortable than during the wet season.
Population
A mix of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders live in the community. The population is 650–700, with most being Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Approximately 30 are contract workers, including teachers, nurses, police, shop employees, council administration, council workshops, carpenters, and plumbers.
The Lockhart River 'local' population consists of five different clan groups: the Wuthathi from the north of the Olive River; the Kuuku Ya'u from Lloyd Bay and Weymouth Bay; the Uutaalnganu from the Lockhart River south to Friendly Point; the Umpila from Friendly Point to the Massey River; and the Kaanju from the inland mountain areas behind the coast.
Most of the population lives in the community town area. There are two Outstations." The first is at 'Old Site' and is normally used only during the dry season when vehicles can drive to that location on a rough inland road. It is sometimes used as a "weekender" by some local families during the calm weather over the Christmas-January period. The second Outstation is at Chilli Beach and is normally occupied all year by the Hobson family group. It remains accessible by road and water most of the time.
A number of smaller communities also exist: Wattle Hills Station, Pascoe River 'Farm', Chili Beach, Packer's Bay and Portland Roads. Wattle Hills Station is located just inside the mouth of the Pascoe River, north of Lockhart River. It is a share arrangement for persons opting out of mainstream society. Approximately 30 persons live in open-plan style houses. This station has its own airstrip and mail service once a week. Some of the houses have telephones connected and all are linked by their own private UHF radio network under the Rural Fires scheme.
The Pascoe River 'farm' is located on the banks of the Pascoe River quite some distance inland. Access to the farm is from the main Lockhart River to Archer River road, from the Lockhart River community. A track leads a further to the farm. It is occupied by the Fyfe extended family group. Approximately 10 to 15 people live on the farm.
Chilli Beach has a number of dwellings squatting along the secluded beaches and headlands. Approximately 10–20 people live there. Packer's Bay also has a number of open-plan and full residential style houses occupied by people opting out of mainstream society. Approximately 10 people live there. The Portland Roads community is a standard housing area with some open-plan style houses and no power, water, or sewerage facilities. It was predominantly a fishing community until the recent changes to the Fisheries Regulations. Many prawn trawlers, crab boats, and yachts use this sheltered anchorage. Approximately 10 people live here.
Education
Lockhart State School is a government primary and secondary (Early Childhood-12) school for boys and girls at Puchewoo Street (). In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 97 students with 14 teachers and 1 non-teaching staff. It includes a special education programme.
Amenities

Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines consists of disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic propagated by various sources.
Measures against misinformation
The Department of Health of the Philippines has advised against spreading misinformation and unverified claims concerning the pandemic.
The Philippine National Police has also taken action against the spread of misinformation related to the pandemic and has warned the public that misinformation purveyors could be charged for violating Presidential Decree no. 90 for "declaring local rumor, mongering and spreading false information". In the case of misinformation circulated online, violators could be charged for violating the Cybercrime Prevention Act which has a maximum penalty of imprisonment for 12 years. The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act also punishes fake news peddlers of two months jail time or fine of up to .
Misinformation by subject
Origin
SARS-CoV-2 being a type of rabies along with advice to not eat bats. The virus is in the coronavirus family and is unrelated to rabies.
Treatment and cure
Boiled ginger as a cure for COVID-19. There is no concrete scientific proof for this claim. Mark Pasayan, a doctor from the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases says that while a cold weather may make one more susceptible to the COVID-19 infection, the intake of hot or cold food does not correlate with the prevention and treatment of the disease.
Viral posts with various claims such as avoidance of eating ice cream and cold food, and encouraging exposure to sunlight as a means of prevention against COVID-19 purportedly from UNICEF. UNICEF Philippines has issued a statement disassociating itself from the posts peddling false and misleading information.
A widely circulated graphic on social media claimed that gargling warm water with salt would "eliminate the virus." DOH Undersecretary Eric Domingo said that while the saline water has been a recognized home treatment for symptoms of a sore throat for many generations, there is no evidence suggesting its capability to kill the virus.
A supposed video spread on the internet about how bananas can cure COVID-19. This information was even advocated by the presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo. However, DOH Spokesperson Ma. Rosario Vergeire debunked this claim, saying that while bananas is a healthy food source, there are no conclusive evidences yet about its effectivity against coronavirus.
On March 21, 2020, several netizens on Facebook shared misleading posts about the Philippine Air Force and the Philippine National Police using helicopters to spray pesticides among major cities in an effort to disinfect the virus. The Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police, the Department of Health, and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) have refuted these claims. Furthermore, the Department of Health added on its official website that there is no evidence that pesticide sprays can kill the Coronavirus.
A statement of President Rodrigo Duterte claiming that gasoline may be used as a disinfectant in absence of hand sanitizers has been refuted by the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines and warned the public that gasoline is harmful to the body especially if inhaled.
In April 2021, videos in YouTube and Facebook purported that Ivermectin is already fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a cure for COVID-19. The drug was only granted compassionate use for such purpose in one hospital. Ivermectin in the Philippines is only authorized to be used in animals for treatment of heartworm disease while for humans the drug is only allowed "in topical formulations under prescription use only".
Transmission
The DOH supposedly issuing an advisory on the proliferation of fake cigarettes which is claimed to be a method of transmission of COVID-19. The government agency did not issue such advisory.
Lockdowns and travel restriction
In the first week of February, the government supposedly imposed a 14-day quarantine for travelers coming from 20 countries. An infographic supporting the claim was circulated purportedly from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). On February 7, the DILG denied the claim. At that time the quarantine measure is only being imposed from travelers from three territories: Mainland China, Macau, and Hong Kong.
The Palace also disproved posts circulating online about the declaration of "Total Lockdown" nationwide and warned its peddlers of imminent arrest. At the time of the circulation, the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon was already in effect.
Vaccination
In August 2021, Thousand of people line up in vaccination sites across Metro Manila, many without prior registration, following false information that the unvaccinated would be ineligible to receive aid or be allowed to leave their homes during the enhance community quarantine in the metropolis. The DOH issued a statement that it would not allow the national vaccination program to cause superspreader events. Critics of President Rodrigo Duterte cite the president's prior rhetoric that unvaccinated would not be allowed to leave their homes.
Other
According to the DOH, the cremation of the body of the first confirmed COVID-19 death in the Philippines has been hampered by the proliferation of misinformation.

Étienne François Geoffroy (13 February 16726 January 1731) was a French physician and chemist, best known for his 1718 affinity tables. He first contemplated a career as an apothecary, but then decided to practice medicine. He is sometimes known as Geoffroy the Elder.
Biography
Geoffroy was born in Paris. After studying at Montpellier he accompanied Marshal Tallard on his embassy to London in 1698 and thence travelled to the Netherlands and Italy. Returning to Paris he became professor of chemistry at the Jardin du Roi and of pharmacy and medicine at the Collège Royal, and dean of the faculty of medicine. He died in Paris on 6 January 1731.
His brother Claude Joseph, known as Geoffroy the younger, was also a chemist.
Works
His name is best known in connection with his tables of "affinities" (tables des rapports), which he presented to the French Academy of Sciences in 1718 and 1720.
These were lists, prepared by collating observations on the actions of substances one upon another, showing the varying degrees of affinity exhibited by analogous bodies for different reagents, and they retained their vogue for the rest of the century, until displaced by the profounder conceptions introduced by CL Berthollet.
Another of his papers dealt with the delusions of the philosopher's stone, but nevertheless he believed that iron could be artificially formed in the combustion of vegetable matter. His Tractatus de materia medico, published posthumously in 1741, was long celebrated.

Stari plac (lit. "Old ground"), also often referred to as Plinara Stadion, (or incorrectly in some foreign sources as Plinada Stadion) is a stadium in Split, Croatia used originally for association football and later mainly for rugby union. It hosted a match between Yugoslavia and Netherlands in the UEFA Euro 1972 qualifying tournament, and in April 2010 a match between Croatia national rugby union team playing against Netherlands in the 2008-10 European Nations Cup tournament. Stari plac is the home ground of Rugby Club Nada Split.
The area the stadium was built on was originally a gasworks and was also used as a military training ground by the army. It was initially used as the home stadium of HNK Hajduk Split, and although it was their basic venue in the early years and it was not until 1926 that the first stand was built.
In the beginning the 100 x 60 meters pitch was oriented west-to-east. After First World War it was resized to 105 x 70 meters on a north-to-south orientation. Its first wooden stands, built in 1926, burned down that same year. Three years later new stands were built with a capacity of 900 people, but these were gradually demolished during the Second World War. After the war the stadium received a major reconstruction with a new drainage system, and a wooden west stand for 1400 people. Ten years later the sandy pitch was replaced with grass one, and later on new stands were built on eastern side of the pitch.
In November 2009 Hajduk fans watched a home game versus Dinamo Zagreb on a big screen in the Stari plac, rather than see the game in the Poljud, in a protest against actual club board.

Quackdown is a South Africa-based website aimed at exposing fraudulent and untested medical treatments. It hosts the "Quackbase" database of untested medical claims and publishes articles on quackery.
Quackdown is a joint project of the Treatment Action Campaign, Community Media Trust and several individuals. It was originally edited by Nathan Geffen, Marcus Low and Catherine Tomlinson, but since December 2012 Catherine Tomlinson is no longer an editor of Quackdown.
In October 2012, the South African medicine company Solal Technologies filed a defamation lawsuit against Kevin Charleston due to a Quackdown article he published that denounces the company's magazine Health Intelligence for quackery and pseudoscience.
As of 2022 the website appears to be inactive as the Quackbase database was last updated in 2012 and the most recent article on the website dated from 2014. In addition, their twitter account, @quackbase, has not been active since 2012.

Tenalu, also known as the Walter L. Richardson House, is a historic house in Porterville, California. The house is located on a ridge above citrus groves; its exact address is restricted. Built in 1929, the ranch house was designed by Henry Mather Greene; the home was the last significant building designed by Greene. The house has a U-shaped design with a central courtyard, a layout which had been previously used by Greene. Local materials were used to build the house; the walls were constructed with adobe from the hill the house sits atop, the rock used to build the chimney and foundation also came from the hill, and the sandstone used in the terrace came from the home site.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1986.

Corps Austria is a member Corps of the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband, the association of the oldest student fraternities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Corps Austria is "pflichtschlagend", which refers to the fact that it requires of its members to participate in several organized duel-like fencing engagements with members of other specific student fraternities, a ritual dating back to the 17th century and described by Mark Twain in his book "A tramp abroad". The Corps Austria is further considered "farbentragend" in that its members wear a colored sash (right shoulder to left waist) across their chests as evidence of their membership of the fraternity. Both of these tendencies are characteristic of the most traditional and often very elite all-male fraternities in countries for central Europe. Eligible applicants are students of the Goethe University Frankfurt and other colleges in Frankfurt, Germany. Members of Corps Austria are colloquially referred to as "Austrianer", or simply "Austern". Corps Austria was founded in 1861 at the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague and moved to the newly established Goethe University Frankfurt in 1919.
The German student corps were traditionally recruited from the nobility and social elite, and are traditionally viewed as more elitist than other German student fraternities such as the Catholic Cartellverband and the Burschenschaften. They consider tolerance and individuality to be key tenets and are rooted in German idealism. Their general political outlook is conservative, but more cosmopolitan and less right-wing than the Burschenschaften.
Couleur
The "colours" of Corps Austria are black, white and yellow, in that exact order. Black and yellow were the colours of the flag of the Habsburg Monarchy until 1867. In addition to the aforementioned coloured sash, headgear is also worn and is deemed an obligatory part of the "Couleur" or "uniform" of Corps members. Depending on the time of year, one of two styles of headgear may be chosen by "Aktive" or active members. In the winter academic semester, a black cap, sporting thin bands of black, white and yellow must be worn.
In the summer semester, a white silk "Stürmer" or Kepi with black, white and yellow piping may be worn. According to the constitution of Corps Austria, the "Stürmer" may only be worn if a meeting of the internal council or "Corps Convent", elects to wear the "Stürmer" for that summer semester. Furthermore, a "Kneipjacke" or mess jacket may be worn on specific occasions. This jacket is black in colour and features silver and black braiding. "Füchse", initiate applicants to the Corps are allowed to wear a two-coloured sash of black and yellow. This is in contrast to the three-coloured sash of fully-fledged members or corps brothers (CB's). Lastly, as with all such student fraternities, Corps Austria employs its own Motto, "Durch Eintracht Stark!" or "Strength Through Unity!"
History
Out of fear of the liberal and enlightened ideals of the French Revolution, the Reichstag of the Holy Roman Empire in Regensburg in 1793 proscribed all student associations. However this ban would be strictly enforced only in the territory of the Habsburg Empire and then in large part thanks to the zeal of the suppressive Metternich régime. Even correspondence with foreign universities would be forbidden to students. After a brief period of respite in the aftermath of the so-called "March Revolution" of 1848, student associations were once more forbidden in 1849.
It was not until 1859, that the situation had sufficiently mellowed to allow the establishment of such student bodies of the same model as were to be found in other German-speaking states. The cause of this change can be attributed both to the overwhelming defeat of the Habsburg Empire in the Battle of Solferino and the resultant dire state of the Empire's finances. In order to carry out much needed reforms to address these issues, Emperor Franz Joseph I required the support of the middle-classes, who tended to embrace liberal ideals.
Whilst the question of national identity did not arise concerning students in other German-speaking territories, the question of students' national identity did however arise in the context of the multi-national Habsburg Empire. The Czechs, for example, regarded the particular form of German student association as was introduced to Prague to be "typically German", whilst the Austrians increasingly believed their student associations to be almost an extension of their national identity. Consequently, such student bodies with their colourful nationalist paraphernalia frequently drew the wrath of the native population upon themselves.
Origins of Corps Austria
Corps Austria was founded on 23 February 1861 by students of the Karl-Ferdinand University in Prague. On 28 June 1881, an event occurred that would lead to the eventual displacement of the Corps from its birthplace. In the so-called "Battle of Kuchelbad", a popular destination on the outskirts of Prague, Czech students violently overwhelmed and routed the participants of the annual celebrations (Ger. "Stiftungsfest") commemorating the founding of the Corps.
With this fracas, an unfortunate precedent had been set. Although it was never officially recognised as such, the Battle of Kuchelbad had in fact opened the door on an animosity between the various nationalities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Badeni Language Act of 5 April 1897 attempted to lessen the growing divide between the native Czechs and their German-speaking overlords by giving equal importance to the German and Czech languages in the context of rulings in courts of law in Bohemia and Moravia. A storm of protests by German-speakers engulfed cities across the Empire such that the act was entirely repealed by 1899. A chain of events that would lead to the collapse of the Empire in the First World War had now gained an unstoppable momentum.
After World War I, a reconstitution of the Corps in Prague was deemed inadvisable not least because the colours of the Corps reflected the colours of the old Habsburg Monarchy. Instead the Corps quit Prague indefinitely and moved home, once in 1919 to Innsbruck in Austria, as guests of Corps Rhaetia Innsbruck and then in the same year to the newly founded Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, where it has been ever since.
In 1935, the National Socialist government passed a law requiring all student bodies to expel members, whom it deemed to be "non-aryan". Corps Austria refused to comply and accordingly was forced to close its doors in 1936. In 1939, the Corp's association of Old Boys (Alte Herren Verein) was forcibly disbanded by the Gestapo largely because it refused to co-operate with the association of the National Socialist German Students' League (NS-Studentenbund). After World War II, in which 19 members of the Corps lost their lives, Corps Austria was reconstituted in Frankfurt in 1949.
General
Corp Austria has been a member of the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV) since 1919. On the basis of its principles and values (e.g. personal etiquette and decorum), Corps Austria is deemed to belong to the "Blue Circle", an unofficial circle within the KSCV Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband of Corps with similar values, on which basis alliances and friendships are formed „Blauer Kreis“.

Acalypha virginica, commonly called Virginia threeseed mercury or Virginia copperleaf, is a plant in the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). It is native to the eastern United States. It is found in a variety of natural habitats, particularly in open woodlands and along riverbanks. It is a somewhat weedy species that responds positively to ecological disturbance, and can be found in degraded habitats such as agricultural fields.
Acalypha virginica is an erect herbaceous annual growing to tall. It is monoecious, and produces small greenish axillary flowers with no petals. It blooms in summer through fall. It bears a similarity to Acalypha gracilens which occupies much of its geographic range. Acalypha virginica can be distinguished by its pistillate bracts which are hirsute and lack glands (vs. Acalypha gracilens, which has pistillate bracts that are sparsely pubescent and red-glandular).
For conservation, Acalypha virginica is considered to be globally secure. It is a common species throughout much of its range, and is found in a wide variety of habitats. However, it becomes uncommon at the edges of its range, and is listed as a special concern species in Connecticut. In Maine, the only documented occurrence of this species was collected from Parsonsfield in 1902, and it is currently thought to be extirpated from the state.

Maria Catherine Callahan (born June 22, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter from Portland, Oregon. In the 1990s Callahan was lead vocalist, guitarist and co-songwriter for the critically acclaimed power pop Portland, Oregon band, Doris Daze. Doris Daze released two albums, Uncle (1994) and Perpetual Happiness Machine (1997) before disbanding in 1999.
A multi-instrumentalist who is admittedly "A little too fond of the recording process", Callahan has had several cameo appearances on local musicians' albums throughout the years. Callahan released her country album, Dry (2011) following a ten-year hiatus from music. Her most recent single, "Break My Heart Again" was released in 2013.
In 2012, Maria co-founded Molly Miller Band with drummer Charles Nelson, but disbanded it in 2013. Maria also performs with the all-female Merle Haggard Tribute Band, Gerle Haggard Band that she founded in April 2013.
Doris Daze (1994–1999)
In 1993, Callahan joined with musicians Erin Moreland, Scott Crabtree and Eric Merrill to create Doris Daze, a Portland-based band that garnered much critical success and a devoted fan base.
The band's not-to-be-pigeonholed sound was referred by critics to everything from "poppy folk-rock" to "eclectic beyond belief," for their wide range of instrumentation and disregard for genre. Critic Scott D. Lewis commented that "the congenial quartet combines influences ranging from classic rock, upbeat country, progressive folk, hallucinatory psychedelia and standard pop to form music that, through proficient and consistently compelling, resists easy branding."
Callahan is frequently cited as one of the group's strength's for both her voice and songwriting ability. Lewis further noted in his review for Perpetual Happiness Machine that "Doris Daze singer/guitarist Maria Callahan, who is also the band's chief songwriter, displays a durable aptitude for creating memorable, if quirky songs and the ability to color them with unusual guitar formations; singing them with a rich, evocative voice." The Oregonian stated that "Singer/songwriter Maria Callahan's strong voice makes Doris Daze one of Portland's best modern folk-rock bands."
Doris Daze played to increasingly packed houses as well as doing tour stints in Oregon penitentiaries and appeared more than once on the stages of NXNW music festival. Though the band continued to get regular play on both FM and college radio and had begun receiving interest by the record industry, the group decided to call it quits in 1999 following the release of "Perpetual Happiness Machine."
Dry (2011)
After 10 years away from the studio, Callahan began working on a series of country songs in the winter of 2009. Teaming up once again with producer Danny O'Hanlon (Perpetual Happiness Machine) Dry is the first solo effort by Callahan. In addition to writing ten of the record's eleven songs, she provided the majority of the instrumentation and all of the vocals. The song Don't You Let Me Down was collaboratively written with Portland-area songwriters Rob Barteletti and Nick Peets.
Dry was released in September 2011. In an October 2011 review, music critic S.P. Clarke commented that, "Maria is a skilled musician...with Dry she stakes her claim on a barren stylistic landscape earning a hard-carved harvest." A music video for the album's closing song, He's Your Problem Now, directed by Mette Bach of Vancouver, BC, can be found on YouTube.

Vac (, ) is a Vedic goddess who is a personified form of divine speech. She enters into the inspired poets and visionaries, gives expression and energy to those she loves; she is called the "mother of the Vedas" and consort of Prajapati, the Vedic embodiment of mind. She is also associated with Indra in Aitareya Aranyaka. Elsewhere, such as in the Padma Purana, she is stated to be the wife of Vision (Kashyapa), the mother of Emotions, and the friend of Musicians (Gandharva).
She is identified with goddess Sarasvati in later Vedic literature and post-Vedic texts of Hindu traditions. Sarasvati has remained a significant and revered deity in Hinduism.
Thomas McEvilley gives goddess Vac and the area of her divine purview treatment in 'Appendix E: Philosophy and Grammar' to his magnum opus The Shape of Ancient Thought.

Sclerophrys fuliginata is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. The specific name fuliginata is Latin for "sooty", in reference to the species' appearance of a more or less diffusely uniform exterior color and pattern. It is also known as the Shaba Province toad or sooty toad. It is found in the southern Democratic Republic of the Congo, southeastern Tanzania, and northern Zambia.
Description
Adult females can reach in snout–vent length. Males reach sexual maturity at about in snout–vent length. The tympanum is discernible, but the tympanic annulus tends to be covered by spinose warts. The parotoid glands are prominent and covered by dark-tipped spines, except in males in full breeding condition. The toes are almost fully webbed. Skin, especially the limbs, are particularly spinose, but less so in breeding males. Coloration is an almost uniform hue, without a pronounced patterning.
Habitat and conservation
Sclerophrys fuliginata occurs in montane forests and gallery forests and on forest edges at elevations above . Breeding biology is not known but probably involves aquatic tadpoles.
This species is known from isolated records over a wide area. Specific threats to it are unknown, but it is likely to be affected by forest loss caused by agriculture, livestock grazing, human settlements, and fire. It is present in the Upemba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and probably in other protected areas.

Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 30 (VRC-30) was an aviation unit of the United States Navy tasked with carrier onboard delivery. The squadron was nicknamed "Providers" and was based at Naval Air Station North Island, California (USA). In contrast to most other U.S. Navy squadrons, VRC-30 consisted of five separately named detachments, which were assigned to different carrier air wings.
History
VRC-30 was originally established as Air Transport Squadron 5 (VR-5) on 24 June 1943 at Naval Air Station Seattle. The squadron was operated the Douglas R4D Skytrain, Douglas R5D Skymaster, Beechcraft SNB Expeditor , and the Noorduyn JA-1 Norseman in regular service to Seattle, Washington, Oakland, California, San Francisco, the Aleutian Islands, Fairbanks, Alaska , and Point Barrow, Alaska.
In 1948, the Naval Air Transportation Service and Air Transport Command of the United States Air Force merged and became the Military Air Transport Service (MATS). VR-5 was placed under the command of the newly formed MATS and assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
1950s
In 1950, VR-5 moved its base of operations from NAS Seattle to Naval Air Station Moffett Field, California. Detachments were established in Seattle and at Naval Air Station North Island, California. VR-5 was decommissioned on 15 July 1957 and became VR-21, with detachments at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan and NAS North Island.
VR-21 was the first squadron to fly dedicated carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft, the Grumman TBM-3R Avenger. On 26 June 1958, the VR-21 NAS North Island Detachment was equiped with the Grumman C-1A Trader. The detachment relocated to NAS Alameda in 1960. The squadron also operated the Douglas C-118B Liftmaster from Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii, into the early 1970s.
1960s and 1970s
On 1 October 1966 VR-21 was decommissioned. The Atsugi detachment was redesignated VRC-50, and the Alameda Detachment was redesignated VR-30, equipped with Convair C-131 Samaritan and C-1A Trader aircraft. On 9 November 1966, VR-30 made their first landing in the C-1A aboard the aircraft carrier . The squadron was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for exemplary service from 1 January to 30 November 1967. From 1968 to 1973, VR-30 COD detachments also operated aboard various carriers in support of recovery operations for Apollo 10, 11, 12, and 16.
In 1969, squadron C-1As and crews operated from Danang, Vietnam, in support of the U.S. Navy's Task Force 77, the carrier strike force operating in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War. In 1971, VR-30 received its first jet aircaft with two North American CT-39 Saberliner for executive airlift. In May 1973 the squadron received the first of four McDonnell Douglas C-9B Skytrain II.
On 12 March 1974 the U.S. Navy's first female aviator, Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Barbara A. Allen reported for duty. After relocating to NAS North Island, VR-30 was decommissioned on 1 October 1978 and VRC-30 was concurrently commissioned.
1980s
In February 1980, VRC-30 was also tasked with training aviators on the Beechcraft C-12 Huron. IN late 1985, VRC-30 retired the 6 C-1A Trader and transitioned to the Grumman C-2A Greyhound by accepting deliveries of five C-2A Greyhounds. These were later replaced by newer C-2A(R).
1990s
In 1994 VRC-30 became the took sole United States Pacific Fleet COD squadron as VRC-50 was decommissioned and its personnel and aircraft were transferred to VRC-30. VRC-30 Detachment 5 was established in August 1994 at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan as part of Carrier Air Wing Five. Four other detachments were formed at NAS North Island, supported by a shore component. In 1997 VRC-30 Detachment 1 earned the Golden Hook Award for the best landing grades in the air wing aboard . Detachment 2 supported U.S. Navy carrier operations aboard during Operation Desert Fox and Operation Southern Watch. In the calendar year 1998, VRC-30 made 1356 carrier landings, transported 14,360 passengers, 1,877,973 lbs (938.986,5 kg) of cargo, and had a sortie completion rate of 99.9%.
In December 1999, the squadron has achieved 24 years and over 149,600 hours of accident-free flight. VRC-30 was awarded the Chief of Naval Operations Safety Award six times between 1979 and 1992 and the Meritorious Unit Commendation for exemplary service from October 1993 to September 1994. In 1996 and 1998, VRC-30 received the Battle Efficiency Award.
2000s
The squadron supported Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom and also earned the Battle Efficiency Award in 2002 and 2003. In 2004 VRC-30 ended the C-12 operations.
The years to follow saw several major developments and upgrades in the C-2A, beginning with the critical Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) in 2006. The SLEP increased the airframe lifespan from 10,000 flight hours or 15,000 carrier landings to 15,000 flight hours or 36,000 carrier landings. The program allowed the aircraft to operate until 2027. The SLEP was followed by an aircraft rewire in 2008, and the "LOT 4" upgrade in August 2010. The LOT 4 upgrade, completed in September 2012, provided pilots with a new glass cockpit and the eight-bladed NP2000 propeller system, which increased performance, reduced airframe vibration, and improved maintainability. During this period, VRC-30 earned five more Battle Efficiency awards in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012.
On 22 November 2017 a VRC-30 Detachment 5 C-2A carrying 11 passengers and crew crashed into the Philippine Sea 90.1 miles (145 km) Northwest of Okinotorishima while flying from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni to . 8 people were recovered but 3 were not found. It was the first loss of a C-2 since 2005, and the first fatal accident of VRC-30 since 1973. The aircraft was located at a depth of 18,500ft (5,640 meters) in the last week of December 2017, when a salvage ship used a pinger receiver to locate the aircraft's emergency signal.
VRC-30 was loosely associated with the North Island Association of Active Duty Fixed Wing Carrier Transport Pilots, a fraternal organization of C-2A pilots in San Diego. The NIAADFWCTP was famous throughout the Southern California area, particularly for their enthusiastic participation in the Coronado Fourth of July Parade in 2018 and 2019. Tasked with recruiting midshipmen and officer candidates to pursue careers in naval aviation, the NIAADFWCTP saved countless lives, careers and marriages by convincing people to Fly Fast and Turn Left instead of going subs or SWO.
With the retirement of the C-2A Greyhound, VRC-30 Det.5 at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, will be assigned to VRC-40 on 30 September 2023. The final flight of a C-2A Greyhound of VRC-30 took place on 20 September 2023 and the squadron will be deactivated on 8 December 2023.

Gaius Aelius Gallus was a Roman prefect of Egypt from 26 to 24 BC. He is primarily known for a disastrous expedition he undertook to Arabia Felix (modern day Yemen) under orders of Augustus.
Life
Aelius Gallus was the 2nd praefect of Roman Egypt (Aegyptus) in the reign of Augustus during the years 26–24 BC. He replaced Cornelius Gallus, with whom he has often been confused.
Aelius Gallus was also known to be an intimate friend of the Greek geographer Strabo and has been identified with the Aelius Gallus frequently quoted by Galen, whose remedies are stated to have been used with success in his Arabian expedition.
The expedition to Arabia Felix, of which an account is given by his friend Strabo, as well as by Cassius Dio and Pliny the Elder turned out to be a complete failure. In this expedition, Strabo mentioned Ilasaros as the controller of Hadhramaut at that time.
Gallus undertook the expedition from Egypt by the command of Augustus, partly with a view to explore the country and its inhabitants, and partly to conclude treaties of friendship with the people, or to subdue them if they should oppose the Romans, for it was believed at the time that Arabia was full of all kinds of treasures.
When Aelius Gallus set out with his army, he trusted to the guidance of a Nabataean called Syllaeus, who deceived and misled him. A long account of this expedition through the desert is given by Strabo—who derived most of his information about Arabia from his friend Aelius Gallus. Aelius Gallus initially set sail with 10,000 infantry consisting of Romans and Roman allies, among whom were five-hundred Jews and one thousand Nabataeans. They crossed the Red Sea, and after fourteen days landed at Leucê Comê, in the land of the Nabataeans. Thence, they proceeded by foot and by camel to the land of Aretas. Thence, they passed through a wasteland called Ararenê, occupied by a nomadic people, and thence proceeded another fifty days until reaching Najran. From there they marched another six days where they arrived at a certain river where they joined battle with the local inhabitants, having slain 10,000 of them. Afterwards, they took the city called Asca, which had been forsaken by its king; and thence the Roman army proceeded to a city called Athrula; and, having mastered it without a struggle, Aelius Gallus placed a garrison in it, arranged for supplies of grain and dates for his march and advanced to a city called Marsiaba. The burning heat of the sun, the bad water, and the want of every thing necessary to support life, produced a disease among the soldiers that was altogether unknown to the Romans, and destroyed the greater part of the army; so that the Arabs were not only not subdued, but succeeded in driving the Romans even from those parts of the country which they had previously possessed. At this time, Aelius Gallus and his army had spent six months on their military campaign in Arabia, on account of his treacherous guide, while he effected his retreat in sixty days, obliged to return to Alexandria, having lost the greater part of his force. The campaign is the subject of a 1951 novel, The Eagle and the Sun by Lord Belhaven, who had done military and civilian service in the region.
Aelius Gallus was recalled by Augustus for failure to pacify the Kushites and was succeeded as praefect by Gaius Petronius, a military commander and close friend of Augustus.

IP over DVB implies that Internet Protocol datagrams are distributed using some digital television system, for example DVB-H, DVB-SH, DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C or their successors like DVB-T2, DVB-S2, and DVB-C2. This may take the form of IP over MPEG, where the datagrams are transferred over the MPEG transport stream, or the datagrams may be carried in the DVB baseband frames directly, as in GSE.
Application examples
Data broadcast (datacast), for example a data carousel sending programme information and media over and over again.
IP multicast, for sending media efficiently to a limited group of subscribing users, using only the transmitter towers where users for the moment are situated.
interactive TV services
To provide internet access by utilizing the DVB system as a broadband downlink, in combination with some narrow-band duplex system. Examples:
Satellite Internet access, e.g. to buildings in the countryside, using a telephone modem as the back-channel
Broadband Internet access to trains
Mobile broadband internet access to cellular phones including a mobile TV receiver, for example a DVB-H receiver.
Return channels
All services except the first requires some kind of return channel.

Carlo Vallarino Gancia is an Italo-Brazilian businessman.
Biography
Early life
The Gancia family is famous as the owners of an Italian wine-producing company (Carlo is named after the founder of the dynasty in 1850, called Carlo Gancia). Carlo is the eldest of the 5th generation of Gancias. Carlo Vallarino was born in Canelli, Asti. Italy.
His father, Piero Vallarino Gancia, was an amateur racing driver, who in 1966 was the first Brazilian Motor Racing Champion, driving an alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Super, he was among the founders of the Confederação Brasileira de Automobilismo, the national motorsport authority of Brazil. Piero was also the Owner of Team Jolly Gancia, who raced Alfa Romeos in Brazil. For Jolly Gancia drove Emilio Zambello (Piero's business partner), Carlos Pace, Emerson Fittipaldi, Wilson Fittipaldi, Ciro Cayres, Ubaldo C. Lolli, Marivaldo Fernandes, Totó Porto, Chico Lameirão, Celso Lara Barberis, among others. Jolly Gancia chief mechanic was Giuseppe Perego, a Milanese who had worked for Isotta Fraschini and Maserati, under Guerino Bertocchi. Perego's right-hand man was Spaniard Manolo Pazos Torres. Jolly Automóveis was founded in 1966 and became the importer for Brazil of Alfa Romeo and then of Lamborghini and in 1970 of Ferrari.
After growing up in Brazil, Carlo studied in Switzerland, UK and in San Diego, California where he obtained an MBA. He went on to work in several businesses in Saudi Arabia in construction, in Brazil in car dealerships and banking, in Switzerland and Luxembourg in banking and in Monaco in financial services.
Motorsport
Gancia was involved in motorsport from an early age, helping Brazilians get into Formula One, drivers such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Carlos Pace and Nelson Piquet to obtain sponsorship. He also ran a go-kart factory which helped to start Ayrton Senna's racing career. In addition, Gancia himself also raced at a competitive level, in a series of Brazilian Touring car racing championships.
By 1992, Gancia was assisting Pedro Diniz's racing career, and met Italian Formula 3000 team owner Guido Forti. The two made a deal whereby Diniz drove for the Forti team in F3000 in 1993 and 1994, and Gancia bought the shares of Guido Forti's original business partner, Paolo Guerci, thus taking over the role of fundraising.
Forti moved up to F1 in with Diniz as one of the team's drivers. Although Gancia had helped to secure a good budget, the FG01 chassis was slow and unsuccessful. When Diniz broke his original three-year contract with the team by moving to Ligier for , much of the sponsorship disappeared and Gancia looked towards Indy Car racing as an alternative.
When the Shannon Racing Team company arrived mid-season as a potential major sponsor, Gancia sold his shares and left the team. A few months later, an ownership dispute between Shannon and Guido Forti led to the team's collapse and withdrawal from F1.
Gancia currently is the president of for Image Sports Marketing, a US-based company with subsidiaries in São Paulo which represents, promotes, markets and televises American open-wheel racing formulae such as the IndyCar Series in Brazil.

Saddleworth Museum is an independent museum in Uppermill village, Saddleworth, Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. It is a registered charity and was accredited by the MLA.
The museum opened in 1962 and is housed in the outbuildings of the Victoria Mill, a 19th-century mill building which stood beside the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. Its collections show the history of Saddleworth, which until 1974 local government reorganisation was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
In September 2015 the museum closed for repair and remedial work to be undertaken and there was a temporary cabin in place while work on the building continued. the museum re-opened a year later in September 2016 after a £1.25 million refurbishment.

Sanguivore is the third studio album by English rock band Creeper. Produced by Tom Dalgety, it was released on 13 October 2023 as the group's first album on Spinefarm Records. The album's release was preceded by the singles "Cry to Heaven" on 26 May and "Teenage Sacrifice" on 10 August.
Background
The concept for an album based around vampires was inspired by the end of the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom and the return of live music. Gould explained in an interview with Rolling Stone that both are about "breathing new life into an old body and falling back in love". He also stated this sentiment was echoed in the revival of a number of aspects of the band that had not been present since the Eternity, in Your Arms cycle, such as jackets with matching back patches and songs about friendship. In an interview with Kerrang! just after the album's announcement, Gould explained that "We'd always planned to do a vampire record. We'd been thinking about it for a couple of years and knew that now was a good place to go after where the last one left off. We wanted to make something darker than we'd ever made before."
When the band began working with producer Tom Dalgety, the first song they brought to him was "Ghost Brigade", which had been written just after the release of Eternity in Your Arms in the same writing session as "Born Cold". The band used the track as a way of testing their chemistry with Dalgety. Album opener "Further Than Forever" had been partially written and demoed by Gould as a piano led song, with a number of different verses and choruses, for years prior to recording the album. After some time, Miles introduced its pedal note introduction and eventually the song was brought to Dalgety who had his own incomplete progressive rock segment influenced by "Easy Lover". As a collective, they merged the these sections, and wrote the remaining song. Then final part of the song to be written was its chorus, which was influenced by Bruce Springsteen.
When first writing the album, Creeper intended for the album to be titled European Vampires: A True Story, however became disheartened by this title following Brexit.
Promotion and release
The finale of the album cycle for Creeper's previous album, Sex, Death & the Infinite Void, took place at the Roundhouse in London on 4 November 2022. During this performance, Gould was beheaded as a representation of the end of the previous album's cycle and the beginning of the subsequent album cycle, announcing they had signed to Spinefarm Records. As this happened, the band's merchandise table swapped to selling merchandise for the new album, which included a free cassette tape of the then unreleased track "Ghost Brigade", of which 666 numbered copies were made. This news was announced on social media the following day once "Ghost Brigade" was released on streaming services. The promotional posts on social media for this single was the introduction of a character named Darcia, a vampire familiar. Darcia would go on to feature in much of the album's promotion material.
After almost seven months without further news regarding new material, "Cry to Heaven" was released and Sanguivore announced on 26 May 2023. That night, the band performed at the Heavy Music Awards at Wembley Arena, playing both new tracks live for the first time. On 10 August, they released the album's second single "Teenage Sacrifice".
Creeper are set to promote Sanguivore on the Sacred Blasphemy Tour, consisting of five UK shows, between 5 and 10 November 2023.
Composition and lyrics
The albums follows the love story of characters Mercy, a violent vampire who was turned at the age of 19, and Spook an old man whom she has control over. Opener "Further Than Forever" tells the story of Spook being turned into a vampire, with "Cry to Heaven" following Mercy on her ensuing murderous rampage. As the album continues, Mercy regains much of her humanity.
Critics have categorised Sanguivore as gothic rock. The song "Sacred Blasphemy" merges "emo sensibilities... with rock'n'roll glitz", while "Lovers Led Astray" is synth rock and "Black Heaven" is dark wave.
The band have cited the Sisters of Mercy, Danzig, the Damned, the Cult, Jim Steinman's Bad for Good, the Misfits, Meat Loaf, Nick Cave, Bonnie Tyler, Gary Numan and Depeche Mode as influences on the album. In particular, "Sacred Blasphemy" was influenced by the Misfits, "Teenage Sacrifice" by tradition heavy metal, "The Ballad of Spook & Mercy" by Nick Cave and "Further Than Forever" by Bonnie Tyler and Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell",
Critical reception
Sanguivore has received positive reviews from a number of music critics. To date, the album has received ratings of five stars from Kerrang!, four and a half stars from DIY and Metal Hammer, and four stars from The Skinny.

During World War II, the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) established numerous airfields in Vermont for training pilots and aircrews of USAAF fighters and bombers.
Most of these airfields were under the command of First Air Force or the Army Air Forces Training Command (AAFTC) (A predecessor of the current-day United States Air Force Air Education and Training Command). However the other USAAF support commands (Air Technical Service Command (ATSC); Air Transport Command (ATC) or Troop Carrier Command) commanded a significant number of airfields in a support roles.
It is still possible to find remnants of these wartime airfields. Many were converted into municipal airports, some were returned to agriculture and several were retained as United States Air Force installations and were front-line bases during the Cold War. Hundreds of the temporary buildings that were used survive today, and are being used for other purposes.
Major airfields
Ethan Allen Army Airfield was a small airfield Fort Ethan Allen used by the Army between the wars. It may have been used by light aircraft prior to the Fort's closure in 1944.

Nybrogatan is a street in the borough of Östermalm in central Stockholm, Sweden. Approximately one kilometre in length, it stretches north from Nybroplan to Valhallavägen.
Before 1864, the northern part of Nybrogatan above Östermalmstorg was called Seved Bååtsgatan after a local official. The southern part was named Nybrogatan after a bridge that was constructed over Nybroviken in the 17th century. Later on the street in its entirety took on this name, while the bridge itself became redundant when Nybroviken was filled up in the 19th century.
While Nybrogatan remains a mostly residential street, it also hosts offices, stores, cafés and restaurants and in recent years have seen an increase in the number of commercial establishments.
Östermalmstorg metro station has one of its entrances on Nybrogatan. The only tram line in central Stockholm passes Nybroplan on its route to Djurgården.

Grace Bernadette Griffith (née Sisson; October 30, 1956 – June 5, 2021) was a folk and Celtic singer based in Washington, D.C. She has been honored with multiple Wammie awards by the Washington Area Music Association. In 1998, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Griffith died at the age of 64 following complications from Parkinson's disease on June 5, 2021.
Biography
Griffith was raised in a family of ten children on a small farm in Southern Maryland. At a young age she began singing and accompanying herself on guitar playing in small coffeehouse stages, mentored by her sister Maura. Griffith's parents encouraged her to follow a practical career. Putting her musical hobby to one side she graduated from the University of Maryland in 1978 with a degree in physical therapy and embarked on a career as a physical therapist at what is now the Charles Regional Medical Center. Several years after her college studies she was invited to sing for a local Irish band in Washington DC called “The Hags” and toured the college circuit for two years. Her successor in that band was to become the famed singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter.
In 1987 Griffith formed a duo called “Hazlewood” with songwriter Susan Graham White. They produced some independent releases and ultimately appeared at the 1991 Philadelphia Folk Festival.
Returning to her Celtic roots, Griffith formed an East Coast Celtic group called Connemara which she formed with fiddler/arranger Cathy Palmer along with harpist Tracie Brown. They were also joined on the albums by guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Zan McLeod. They released two albums, firstly Beyond Horizon in 1993 and Siren Song in 1995.
Other musicians to participate on the projects were harpists Sue Richards, Julia Lane, Carol Thompson and Mary Fitzgerald along with box player Billy McComiskey and Jody Marshall on hammered dulcimer.
In 1993 as a solo artist Griffith released her debut album Every Hue and Shade which came out on her own independent label.
When Blix Street Records based in California were looking for an artist to succeed Ireland's Mary Black as their main project in the U.S., they signed Griffith on a long-term recording contract. They revamped her album Every Hue and Shade which became her label debut called Grace. In 1996 Blix Street also licensed the two Connemara recordings for distribution.
Griffith completed two further albums with Minstrel Song, released in 2000, and followed by Sands of Time in 2003. Her album My Life in 2006 drew critical acclaim extending beyond her home base of Washington D.C.
Griffith has been called a singer's singer. One of her keen fans of her singing was the late Eva Cassidy. When Griffith came to know Eva's work, she encouraged Blix Street to sign her as well, which they did just after the release of her album Grace.
Eva Cassidy was first and foremost a music lover sitting in the front row watching her musical heroes perform in Washington. She was also an avid fan of Griffith's, who spotted Eva's face at several of her concerts during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Griffith got to hear about Cassidy's talents and in 1996 made a drive to Potomac to see the then mystery girl at a small club in Alexandria, VA. By this time the Washington Area Association had awarded Griffith more than a dozen "Wammies", including “Best Female Vocalist” and “Best Album”. In September 1996 hearing of Eva Cassidy's illness she went to visit her. Griffith made a telephone call to Bill Straw, the president of Blix Street Records, explaining the situation, and two days later Griffith sent a tape of Eva's Live at Blues Alley album to him. On that tape was a recording of "Fields of Gold"; the song became Cassidy's big hit in what has become a phenomenal posthumous career. "All the colors of the rainbow, all life's palette of beauty and sadness and sweet passion and eternity — it was all there in that voice that came from that heart and those hands" said Griffith in interview when talking about Eva.
At the memorial service for Eva at Greenbelt Park, Griffith performed a haunting Celtic-tinged version of "Golden Thread".
During the next seven years the Eva Cassidy story unfolded whilst Griffith continued to toil in relative obscurity. In one of life's ironies, in 1998 Griffith was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological condition Parkinson's disease.
It affected her life profoundly, but, although her voice was affected, she could still sing, but she had to give up playing whistle, guitar, and dulcimer and relied on musical friends to support her.
In 2006 she released her fourth album "My Life", including two songs that held close family ties for her. "Bendemere's Stream" was a song she remembered her parents singing, and "Passing Thoughts" was written by her older brother, Fred Sisson. Sisson had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease six years before Griffith, and embraced photography and poetry as a way to celebrate life and find new freedoms in his diminishing mobility. They shared a bond through their creativity and shared diagnoses, spending many hours together singing, talking and discussing poetry. Sisson died of Parkinson's disease on March 2, 2006.
At the World Parkinson's Congress in February 2006 she performed If I Can’t Dance from her album My Life, dedicating it to other fellow Parkinson's Disease sufferers.
In 2006 Griffith underwent pioneering surgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital for the implantation of electrodes for deep brain stimulation. She benefited from the then experimental procedure and has since become an effective speaker and educator on Parkinson's. Over a period of time as the batteries ran down, her voice diminished. In March 2010, her doctors, though unable to assure her of a positive result, changed and upgraded the batteries, and it proved successful. Griffith had more energy and more voice.
Griffith sang at the opening of the second World Parkinson Congress (September 28 – October 1, 2010) held in Glasgow, Scotland. Accompanied by Mark Cowan on guitar, she performed a traditional tune “The Seasons” (Scots pastoral song) along with “Sailing”, which was a hit for Rod Stewart. Griffith also spoke at a Music & Parkinson's Disease Workshop on the last day of the event.
On September 28, 2010, Blix Street Records released the compilation album Sailing with the intention that it would elevate this relatively unknown artist to her rightful place among her peers.
For the week commencing September 3, 2011, Griffith's song "My Life" was added to the BBC Radio 2 B Playlist.
Musical career
Grace
Griffith's debut album with Blix Street Records released on August 6, 1996. It was a re-package of her 13 track independent record called Every Hue and Shade. On this 10 track recording it includes a take of the show tune “Summertime” from the George Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess and a cover of "Turning Away" written by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean which appeared on his album Indigenous in 1999. It also contains a musical version of the W.B.Yeats poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree".
Minstrel Song
On April 24, 2000 Griffith released this 10-track recording on the Blix Street Record label. It was produced by Grammy Award nominee Marcy Marxer. On this album which was a mixture of traditional and contemporary material Griffith interprets songs with arrangements ranging from sparse guitar and cello accompaniment to lush productions. She covers songs by Iris Dement ("My Life"), Jane Siberry ("Bound By The Beauty"), John Martyn ("May You Never") and Richard Farina ("Swallow Song").
Sands Of Time
On her third album with Blix Street Records, Griffith collaborates with former Eva Cassidy producer/band members, Chris Biondo and Lenny Williams along with Griffith's long-time friend producer/instrumentalist Marcy Marxer. It is essentially a collection of ballads which includes a cover of “Moment of Forever” written by Kris Kristofferson. The album was dedicated to Eva Cassidy.
My Life
On March 14, 2006, Griffith released My Life her fourth studio release for Blix Street Records and was again produced by Chris Biondo, Marcy Marxer and Lenny Williams. It consisted of twelve tracks which are all cover interpretations. The title track My Life was written by Iris Dement and appeared on her 1994 album My Life. The ninth track, the song "Passing Thoughts", written by Griffith's older brother Fred Sisson and set to music by her friend Carey Creed.
Sailing
On September 28, 2010 Blix Street Records released Sailing, which is an 11-track compilation package. The opening track "Wondering Where the Lions Are” was written by Bruce Cockburn and first appeared in 1979. The tenth track “Sailing/Ships Are Sailing” is a combination of a cover of the 1975 number one hit Sailing for Rod Stewart and "Ships are Sailing" the popular traditional Irish Reel.
Passing Through
After battling Parkinson's disease for more than 15 years, Griffith was determined to record one more album. On July 22, 2014 she did just that again with Blix Street. The tracks were mostly recorded a cappella, with generally sparse instruments added later. Griffith's former Hazlewood partner, Susan Graham White, added her voice to Griffith's new recording of Susan's "Brigid's Shield" and, for one more song, Hazlewood rides again! In addition to eight new recordings, the album includes 4 previously recorded but unreleased tracks that did not quite fit on their intended albums plus the bonus track, "Water Fire and Smoke."
Quotes
"Fans of Southern Maryland-bred singer Grace Griffith consider each of her recordings a blessing, and understandably so. After all, it's not often that one encounters a voice as lovely or as affecting as hers“ - Mike Joyce (Washington Post Reviewer).
“This is Grace Griffith, wait till you hear this song it’s absolutely beautiful. Tell me what you think of it I’ve only just heard it, absolutely stunning". - Michael Ball (Singer, BBC Radio 2 and TV presenter).

General elections were held in the Solomon Islands for the first time on 7 April 1965.
Background
In 1960 a Legislative Council was established composed entirely of appointed members. Of the 21, only six were Solomon Islanders. Following a White Paper in 1963, the British Privy Council approved a new constitution for the British Solomon Islands on 25 September 1964, replacing the 1960 constitution. On 4 November the British Solomon Islands Order was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, bringing into force section 31, which related to the holding of elections prior to the rest of the constitution coming into effect on 1 February 1965.
Electoral system
The new constitution provided for a 22-seat Legislative Council, consisting of the Governor, eleven civil servants, two members appointed by the High Commissioner and eight elected members. Of the elected members, three represented Malaita, two represented Central District, whilst Eastern District, Western District and Honiara had one member each.
Although the Honiara representative was directly elected by universal suffrage (with the voting age set at 21), the remaining seven members were elected by electoral colleges. The colleges were composed of elected local councillors, with one member per 500 residents of the constituency. Where the number of elected councillors was insufficient, councillors could elect further members by secret ballot. The colleges then elected the members of the Legislative Council; preliminary ballots were used to eliminate the lowest-scoring candidate until only two remained, at which point the candidate with a majority of votes was elected.
Campaign
Two candidates – Eric Lawson and C.H. Cheng – contested the Honiara seat, with 44 candidates contesting the indirectly-elected seats.
Around 1,100 people registered to vote in Honiara.
Results
Eric Lawson was elected in Honiara. The sole female candidate, Lilly Ogatina, was elected in Central Solomons. Leonard Alufurai and James Michael Wall were appointed as unofficial members.

"Smilin' Through" is a popular ballad with lyrics and music by Arthur A. Penn.
History
The song "Smilin' Through" was first published in 1919 by M. Witmark and Sons and Reinald Werrenrath had a very successful recording of it that year.
It was recorded by many singers, including John McCormack, Eleanor Steber, Nelson Eddy, and Judy Garland, and remained a popular standard for decades. Bing Crosby recorded the song in 1956 for use on his radio show and it was subsequently included in the CD On the Sentimental Side (2010).
Penn's song was also closely associated with the 1919 play Smilin' Through by Jane Cowl. The creation of the song and that of the play were independent but intertwined. According to Isidore Witmark in his history of the Witmark and Sons publishing house, Cowl's play was partially rewritten after the song was published, based upon the imagery of the lyrics. Both the title and music of the song were incorporated into the play when it was completed and produced on Broadway in December, 1919.
The melody was also used to accompany the 1922 silent film. The soundtracks for both the 1932 and 1941 MGM films of Smilin' Through feature the song as well. It forms the title music for both films and Jeanette MacDonald sings it in the latter film. Norma Shearer's character sings the song in the 1932 film, dubbed by singer Georgia Stark.
Jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter plays his own interpretation of the ballad on the album "Beyond the Sound Barrier" (2005). The 12 minute track bears little resemblance to the original; it is more reflective of Shorter's feelings about the song, one of his favorites.
The song was often featured on the BBC TV variety program The Good Old Days, performed by Barry Kent and Robert White, among others

A jazz funeral for the Equal Rights Amendment took place in the city of New Orleans on July 3, 1982. The event was a public mourning for the failure of the proposed Amendment to pass the required 38 states before the congressionally imposed 1982 deadline.
ERA history in New Orleans
The National Organization for Women hosted a walk in 1981 promoting the passage of the ERA. This event was hosted by the New Orleans ERA Task Force.
Overview of the event
Jazz funerals have a long history in the city of New Orleans. The jazz funeral for the ERA took place one week after the proposed amendment did not pass the required 38 states before the deadline imposed by Congress. It was known as "A New Day Jazz Funeral." The funeral went through the French Quarter. The funeral procession lasted for one hour followed by two hours of speeches. Participants walked by many notable restaurants in New Orleans including Arnaud's Restaurant, The Royal Sonesta Hotel, and the Old Absinth House while musicians played "When the Saints Go Marching In." Numerous boys were photographed participating in this march which was mostly attended by women. The funeral procession ended in Jackson Square. Sue Laporte performed an original song at the end of the procession in front of ERA supporters in Jackson Square.
It was estimated that 500 people attended this march. Many of the marchers dressed in white as suffragists. When asked to describe the purpose of the march Pat Denton, chairwoman of Louisiana's women's political caucus, state, "The tradition of a jazz funeral is that although there is a loss, life goes on and with renewed hope."
Organizations involved
The National Organization for Women sponsored the march and the Baton Rouge National Women's Political Caucus participated as did the Louisiana Lesbian and Gay Political Caucus (LAGPAC).
Supporting organizations included the League of Women Voters, American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP, National Council of Jewish Women and the AFL-CIO.

Achaeus of Eretria (; born 484 BC in Euboea) was a Greek playwright and author of tragedies and satyr plays. He is variously said to have written 24, 30, or 44 plays, of which 19 titles are known: Adrastus, Aethon, Alcmeon, Alphesiboea, Athla, Azanes, Cycnus, Eumenides, Hephaestus, Iris, Linus, Moirai (Fates), Momus, Oedipus, Omphale, Philoctetes, Phrixus, Pirithous, and Theseus. Achaeus of Eretria was regarded in antiquity as being the second greatest writer of satyr plays, after Aeschylus.
Achaeus' first play was produced in 447 BC and won a prize. A quote in Aristophanes' The Frogs suggests he was dead by around 405 BC. Some classicists suggest that the fact that he only won a single prize was due to his non-Athenian birth, as the men of Athens were loath to honour any but their own fellow-citizens.
Achaeus of Eretria belongs to the classic age, but is not recognized as a classic writer. His satyric plays were much admired for their spirited style, albeit somewhat laboured and lacking in clarity. The philosopher Menedemus thought his plays second only to Aeschylus, he was part of the Alexandrian canon, and Didymus wrote a commentary on him. Athenaeus (10.451c) describes him as having a lucid style, but with tendencies to obscurity. Athenaeus also claimed that Euripides took a line from Achaeus, while Aristophanes quotes him twice, in The Frogs and The Wasps.
His work survives only in fragments.
