The 2013 Copa Sudamericana (officially the 2013 Copa Total Sudamericana for sponsorship reasons) was the 12th edition of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's secondary international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. The winner qualified for the 2014 Copa Libertadores, the 2014 Recopa Sudamericana, and the 2014 Suruga Bank Championship. São Paulo were the defending champions, but lost to Ponte Preta in the semifinals.
Lanús became the fifth Argentine club to win the Copa Sudamericana, beating Brazilian club Ponte Preta in the finals to win their first title.
Qualified teams
The following teams qualified for the tournament.
Draw
The draw of the tournament was held on July 3, 2013 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Excluding the defending champion (entering in the round of 16), the other 46 teams were divided into four zones:
South Zone: Teams from Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay (entering in the first stage)
North Zone: Teams from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela (entering in the first stage)
Argentina Zone: Teams from Argentina (entering in the second stage)
Brazil Zone: Teams from Brazil (entering in the second stage)
The draw mechanism was as follows:
South Zone and North Zone:
For the first stage, the 16 teams from the South Zone were drawn into eight ties, and the 16 teams from the North Zone were drawn into the other eight ties. Teams which qualified for berths 1 were drawn against teams which qualified for berths 4, and teams which qualified for berths 2 were drawn against teams which qualified for berths 3, with the former hosting the second leg in both cases. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.
For the second stage, the 16 winners of the first stage were drawn into eight ties. The eight winners from the South Zone were drawn against the eight winners from the North Zone, with the former hosting the second leg in four ties, and the latter hosting the second leg in the other four ties.
Argentina Zone: The six teams were drawn into three ties. Teams which qualified for berths 1–3 were drawn against teams which qualified for berths 4–6, with the former hosting the second leg.
Brazil Zone: The eight teams were split into four ties. No draw was held, where the matchups were based on the berths which the teams qualified for: 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5, with the former hosting the second leg.
To determine the bracket starting from the round of 16, the defending champion and the 15 winners of the second stage were assigned a "seed" by draw. The defending champion and the winners from Argentina Zone and Brazil Zone were assigned even-numbered "seeds", and the winners from ties between South Zone and North Zone were assigned odd-numbered "seeds".
Schedule
The schedule of the competition was as follows (all dates listed were Wednesdays, but matches may be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well).
Elimination phase
In the elimination phase, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule was used. If still tied, the penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (no extra time is played). The 15 winners of the second stage (three from Argentina Zone, four from Brazil Zone, eight from ties between South Zone and North Zone) advanced to the round of 16 to join the defending champion (São Paulo).

History
Elkins Institute
The station first signed on the air on January 26, 1950. It was owned by the Elkins Institute, at the time known as Texas Trade School. The original frequency was 88.5 MHz and the call letters were KVTT ("The Voice of Texas Trade School"). The school used it as a training ground for students, including Rush Limbaugh, and moved to 91.7 MHz two decades later.
Christian format
In 1976, Eldred Thomas, the founder of Covenant Educational Media, bought KVTT and turned it into a Christian music and teaching station. Thomas took KVTT's original call letters and created the "Keep Voicing The Truth" tagline. From its studios in North Dallas, it carried a variety of teaching programs, talk shows, and Praise and Worship music, along with a long-running program, The Journey hosted by Tom Dooley.
In July 2001, KVTT license holder Research Educational Foundation, Inc., applied to transfer the broadcast license to The Learning Foundation, Inc. The reported $5 million sale price would have also included the station's donor list for the preceding two years. The transfer was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 24, 2001, but the deal ultimately fell through. The license remained with the Research Educational Foundation.
In July 2004, Research Educational Foundation, Inc., again applied to transfer the license for KVTT, this time to Covenant Educational Media, Inc. The sale price for this single non-commercial station was reported as $16.5 million. The transfer was approved by the FCC on September 21, 2004, and the transaction was consummated on November 16, 2004.
KVTT's failed swap bid
In June 2006, KVTT's owners tried to broker a frequency swap with WRR, a commercial radio station owned by the City of Dallas that airs a classical music format. The swap would allow the relocated KVTT to sell commercial advertising to increase its revenue stream.
Even though one official estimated the deal could be worth many millions of dollars to the city of Dallas, the swap was ultimately rejected by city leaders.
Sale to KERA
Covenant Educational Media announced on June 9, 2009, the station would be sold to North Texas Public Broadcasting, owners of KERA and KERA-TV. The price tag was $18 million. The deal was approved by the FCC on July 30, 2009, and the transaction was consummated on September 28, 2009. It was said to be the biggest single radio station sale to that point in 2009.
The 2008 economic downturn, coupled by a shortfall of donations from its "share-a-thon" and an "urgent" fundraiser, led to the sale of KVTT. The final broadcasting day for the Christian format on 91.7 FM was September 28. On that date, the station moved its Christian programming to a daytime-only station, KJSA 1110 AM. In addition, the station also provided its programming via the internet from its website, kvtt.org. The KVTT call sign was then transferred to Covenant's sister station in Palisade, Colorado, KAAI, on October 1, 2009. On October 14, 2009, the KVTT call sign returned to the DFW area on the AM station formerly licensed as KJSA.
KKXT Debuts
On October 1, 2009, the 91.7 frequency became "KKXT", and the station temporarily went silent for a month-long transition. Programming under the moniker "KXT 91.7" began on November 9. The format flip to adult album alternative also occurred on that date.
Music programs formerly heard on KERA FM moved to 91.7, including 90.1 at Night, which was renamed as The Paul Slavens Show .
KXT was named the Metroplex's "Best Music Radio Station" by the Dallas Observer in 2016.
As of early February 2017, KXT began broadcasting a digital signal using the iBiquity "HD Radio" system. On October 2, 2017, KXT relaunched its positioning statement as "The Republic of Music", with a greater emphasis on local artists, and revamped the station's daily schedule.

On 28 March 1854, in support of the Ottoman Empire, the British and the Second French Empire declared war on the Russian Empire. Anglo-French forces landed at Gallipoli, to be in a position to defend Constantinople if needed. On 21 February 1854, FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan was appointed as the general officer commanding of the expeditionary force that was dubbed the Army of the East or the Eastern Army. In mid-June, the British force advanced to Varna, on the Black Sea coast of Ottoman Bulgaria. At Varna, they were reorganised into divisions.
British strategic policy was to destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet, based at Sevastopol, in order to end the war and carry-out long-term British goals. On 14 September, the expeditionary landed north of Sevastopol and subsequently fought the Battle of Alma. This was followed by the investment the Russian port in October and the start of the Siege of Sevastopol. The expeditionary force fought the Battle of Inkerman soon after. While the battle ended in victory for the British force, it created the conditions that dragged the siege on through the winter into 1855. After the city had been subjected to several major cannonades, the Battle of the Great Redan was launched in 1855. This marked the final effort of the campaign. The expeditionary force remained in the Crimea until the war ended in 1856, after which the British Army demobilised.

The Coat of arms of Callao was adopted in 1953 and has its origin in the medal awarded to the participants in the Siege of Callao in 1826. On the shield is a tower with the flag of Peru flying over it, the sea in the background and a radiant sun at the top. The official shield in the lower part shows the legend: "La Fiel y Generosa Ciudad del Callao, Asilo de las Leyes y de la Libertad" (The Faithful and Generous City of Callao, Asylum of Laws and Freedom), however in its simplest representation this text is replaced by the word "Callao".
Origins
On February 1, 1826, the Governing Council formed by Marshal José de La Mar, José de Larrea y Loredo, Hipólito Unanue and Juan Salazar issued a decree granting honors to the members of the army who participated during the Siege of Callao. The generals and officers were awarded a gold medal, while for the rest of the troop it was of silver. The medal had an oval shape, with a turret in the center and a Peruvian flag on it. Around it was engraved with the inscription "Toma del Callao, 1826" (Siege of Callao, 1826).
The text of the lower part has its origin in 1834, when the newly elected president Luis José de Orbegoso, suspecting a coup d'etat by ex-president Agustín Gamarra, decides to take refuge in the Real Felipe Fortress. Gamarra gives the coup in Lima proclaiming General Pedro Pablo Bermúdez as Provisional Supreme Chief after which the latter marched with his forces to Callao to capture Orbegoso. However, the villagers opposed the coup leaders who, after several hours of struggle, decided to withdraw. In recognition of the behavior of its inhabitants, in the session of the National Convention of March 7, 1834, President Orbegoso granted Callao the title of ""La Fiel y Generosa Ciudad del Callao, Asilo de las Leyes y de la Libertad" (The Faithful and Generous City of Callao, Asylum of Laws and Freedom), promulgating the decree confirming it the next day.

Sweet & Lowdown is an album by folk musician and singer Dave Van Ronk, released in 2001. It was the last studio album released in his lifetime. In this album, Van Ronk returns to recording pop and jazz standards.
Reception
Writing for Allmusic, critic Travis Dageset wrote of the album "The tunes swing along with Van Ronk's mildly Louis Armstrong-flavored rasp, which holds up throughout... for the most part, this is indispensable Van Ronk, whose forte, apart from his gift for songwriting, has always been classic interpretation that contains as much of his own distinct personality as it does respect for whatever form of American music he is delving into."

Flint is the largest city and seat of Genesee County, Michigan, United States. Located along the Flint River, northwest of Detroit, it is a principal city within the region known as Mid Michigan. At the 2020 census, Flint had a population of 81,252, making it the twelfth largest city in Michigan. The Flint metropolitan area is located entirely within Genesee County. It is the fourth largest metropolitan area in Michigan with a population of 406,892 in 2020. The city was incorporated in 1855.
Flint was founded as a village by fur trader Jacob Smith in 1819 and became a major lumbering area on the historic Saginaw Trail during the 19th century. From the late 19th century to the mid 20th century, the city was a leading manufacturer of carriages and later automobiles, earning it the nickname "Vehicle City". General Motors (GM) was founded in Flint in 1908, and the city grew into an automobile manufacturing powerhouse for GM's Buick and Chevrolet divisions, especially after World War II up until the early 1980s recession. Flint was also the home of a sit-down strike in 1936–37 that played a vital role in the formation of the United Auto Workers.
Since the late 1960s, Flint has faced several crises. The city experienced an economic downturn after GM significantly downsized its workforce in the area from a high of 80,000 in 1978 to under 8,000 by 2010. From 1960 to 2010, the population of the city nearly halved, from 196,940 to 102,434. In the mid-2000s, Flint became known for its comparatively high crime rates and has repeatedly been ranked among the most dangerous cities in the United States according to crime statistics. The city was under a state of financial emergency from 2002 to 2004 and again from 2011 to 2015.
From 2014 to 2019, Flint faced a public health emergency due to lead contamination in parts of the local water supply as well as an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease. The acute lead crisis has been addressed as the city has secured a new source of clean water, installed modern copper pipes to nearly every home, and distributed filters to all residents who want them. However, a legacy of distrust in public authorities remains.
History
The region was home to several Ojibwe tribes at the start of the 19th century, with a particularly significant community established near present-day Montrose. The Flint River had several convenient fords which became points of contention among rival tribes, as attested by the presence of nearby arrowheads and burial mounds. Some of the city currently resides atop ancient Ojibwe burial grounds.
19th century: lumber and the beginnings of the automobile industry
In 1819, Jacob Smith, a fur trader on cordial terms with both the local Ojibwe and the territorial government, founded a trading post at the Grand Traverse of the Flint River. On several occasions, Smith negotiated land exchanges with the Ojibwe on behalf of the U.S. government, and he was highly regarded on both sides. Smith apportioned many of his holdings to his children. As the ideal stopover on the overland route between Detroit and Saginaw, Flint grew into a small but prosperous village and incorporated in 1855. The 1860 U.S. census indicated that Genesee County had a population of 22,498 of Michigan's 750,000.
In the latter half of the 19th century, Flint became a center of the Michigan lumber industry. Revenue from lumber funded the establishment of a local carriage-making industry. As horse-drawn carriages gave way to the automobiles, Flint then naturally grew into a major player in the nascent auto industry. Buick Motor Company, after a rudimentary start in Detroit, soon moved to Flint. AC Spark Plug originated in Flint. These were followed by several now-defunct automobile marques such as the Dort, Little, Flint, and Mason brands. Chevrolet's first (and for many years, main) manufacturing facility was also in Flint, although the Chevrolet headquarters were in Detroit. For a brief period, all Chevrolets and Buicks were built in Flint.
The first Ladies' Library Association in Michigan was started in Flint in 1851 in the home of Maria Smith Stockton, daughter of the founder of the community. This library, initially private, is considered the precursor of the current Flint Public Library.
Early and mid-20th century: the auto industry takes shape
In 1904, local entrepreneur William C. Durant was brought in to manage Buick, which became the largest manufacturer of automobiles by 1908. In 1908, Durant founded General Motors (GM), filing incorporation papers in New Jersey, with headquarters in Flint. GM moved its headquarters to Detroit in the mid-1920s. Durant lost control of GM twice during his lifetime. On the first occasion, he befriended Louis Chevrolet and founded Chevrolet, which was a runaway success. He used the capital from this success to buy back share control. He later lost decisive control again, permanently. Durant experienced financial ruin in the stock market crash of 1929 and subsequently ran a bowling alley in Flint until the time of his death in 1947.
The city's mayors were targeted for recall twice, Mayor David Cuthbertson in 1924 and Mayor William H. McKeighan in 1927. Recall supporters in both cases were jailed by the police. Cuthbertson had angered the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) by the appointment of a Catholic police chief. The KKK led the recall effort and supported Judson Transue, Cutbertson's elected successor. Transue however did not remove the police chief. McKeighan survived his recall only to face conspiracy charges in 1928. McKeighan was under investigation for a multitude of crimes which angered city leaders enough to push for changes in the city charter.
In 1928, the city adopted a new city charter with a council-manager form of government. Subsequently, McKeighan ran the "Green Slate" of candidates who won in 1931 and 1932 and he was select as mayor in 1931. In 1935, the city residents approved a charter amendment establishing the Civil Service Commission.
For the last century, Flint's history has been dominated by both the auto industry and car culture. The Sit-Down Strike of 1936–1937 saw the fledgling United Automobile Workers triumph over General Motors and establish itself as a major union, leading to widespread unionization in US industry. The successful mediation of the strike by Governor Frank Murphy, culminating in a one-page agreement recognizing the Union and rehiring workers fired due to strike participation began an era of successful organizing by the UAW. The city was a major contributor of tanks and other war machines during World War II due to its extensive manufacturing facilities. For decades, Flint remained politically significant as a major population center as well as for its importance to the automotive industry.
A freighter named after the city, the SS City of Flint, was the first US ship to be captured during the Second World War, in October 1939. The vessel was later sunk in 1943. On June 8, 1953, the Flint-Beecher tornado, a large F5 tornado, struck the city, killing 116 people.
The city's population peaked in 1960 at almost 200,000, at which time it was the second largest city in the state. The decades of the 1950s and 1960s are seen as the height of Flint's prosperity and influence. They culminated with the establishment of many local institutions, most notably the Flint Cultural Center. This landmark remains one of the city's chief commercial and artistic draws to this day. The city's Bishop International Airport was the busiest in Michigan for United Airlines apart from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, with flights to many destinations in the Mid-West and the Mid-Atlantic.
Late 20th century: deindustrialization and demographic changes
Since the late 1960s through the end of the 20th century, Flint has suffered from disinvestment, deindustrialization, depopulation and urban decay, as well as high rates of crime, unemployment and poverty. Initially, this took the form of "white flight" that afflicted many urban industrialized American towns and cities. Given Flint's role in the automotive industry, this decline was exacerbated by the 1973 oil crisis with spiking oil prices and the U.S. auto industry's subsequent loss of market share to imports, as Japanese manufacturers were producing cars with better fuel economy.
In the 1980s, the rate of deindustrialization accelerated again with local GM employment falling from a 1978 high of 80,000 to under 8,000 by 2010. Only 10% of the manufacturing work force from its height remains in Flint. Many factors have been blamed, including outsourcing, offshoring, increased automation, and moving jobs to non-union facilities in right to work states and foreign countries.
This decline was highlighted in the film Roger & Me by Michael Moore (the title refers to Roger B. Smith, the CEO of General Motors during the 1980s). Also highlighted in Moore's documentary was the failure of city officials to reverse the trends with entertainment options (e.g. the now-demolished AutoWorld) during the 1980s. Moore, a native of Davison (a Flint suburb), revisited Flint in his later movies, including Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11,
and Fahrenheit 11/9.
21st century
First financial emergency: 2002–2004
By 2002, Flint had accrued $30 million in debt. On March 5, 2002, the city's voters recalled Mayor Woodrow Stanley. On May 22, Governor John Engler declared a financial emergency in Flint, and on July 8 the state appointed an emergency financial manager, Ed Kurtz. The emergency financial manager displaced the temporary mayor, Darnell Earley, in the city administrator position.
In August 2002, city voters elected former Mayor James Rutherford to finish the remainder of Stanley's term of office. On September 24, Kurtz commissioned a salary and wage study for top city officials from an outside accounting and consulting firm. The financial manager then installed a new code enforcement program for annual rental inspections and emergency demolitions. On October 8, Kurtz ordered cuts in pay for the mayor (from $107,000 to $24,000) and the City Council members (from $23,000 to $18,000). He also eliminated insurance benefits for most officials. After spending $245,000 fighting the takeover, the City Council ended the lawsuits on October 14. Immediately thereafter on October 16, a new interim financial plan was put in place by the manager. This plan initiated controls on hiring, overnight travel and spending by city employees. On November 12, Kurtz directed the city's retirement board to stop unusual pension benefits, which had decreased some retiree pensions by 3.5%. Kurtz sought the return of overpayments to the pension fund. However, in December, the state attorney general stated that emergency financial managers do not have authority over the retirement system. With contract talks stalled, Kurtz stated that there either need to be cuts or layoffs to union employees. That same month, the city's recreation centers were temporarily closed.
Emergency measures continued in 2003. In May, Kurtz increased water and sewer bills by 11% and shut down operations of the ombudsman's office. In September, a 4% pay cut was agreed to by the city's largest union. In October, Kurtz moved in favor of infrastructure improvements, authorizing $1 million in sewer and road projects. Don Williamson was elected a full-term mayor and sworn in on November 10. In December, city audits reported nearly $14 million in reductions in the city deficit. For the 2003–2004 budget year, estimates decreased that amount to between $6 million and $8 million.
With pressure from Kurtz for large layoffs and replacement of the board on February 17, 2004, the City Retirement Board agreed to four proposals reducing the amount of the city's contribution into the system. On March 24, Kurtz indicated that he would raise the City Council's and the mayor's pay, and in May, Kurtz laid off 10 workers as part of 35 job cuts for the 2004–05 budget. In June 2004, Kurtz reported that the financial emergency was over.
Redevelopment
In November 2013, American Cast Iron Pipe Company, a Birmingham, Alabama based company, became the first to build a production facility in Flint's former Buick City site, purchasing the property from the RACER Trust. Commercially, local organizations have attempted to pool their resources in the central business district and to expand and bolster higher education at four local institutions. Examples of their efforts include the following:
Landmarks such as the First National Bank building have been extensively renovated, often to create lofts or office space, and filming for the Will Ferrell movie Semi-Pro resulted in renovations to the Capitol Theatre.
The Paterson Building at Saginaw and Third street has been owned by the Collison Family, Thomas W. Collison & Co., Inc., for the last 30 years. The building is rich in Art Deco throughout the interior and exterior. The building also houses its own garage in the lower level, providing heated valet parking to The Paterson Building Tenants.
In 2004, University Park, the first planned residential community in Flint in over 30 years, was built north of Fifth Avenue off Saginaw Street, Flint's main thoroughfare.
Local foundations have funded the renovation and redecoration of Saginaw Street and have begun work turning University Avenue (formerly known as Third Avenue) into a mile-long "University Corridor" connecting University of Michigan–Flint with Kettering University.
Atwood Stadium, located on University Avenue, received extensive renovations, and the Cultivating Our Community project landscaped 16 different locations as a part of a $415,600 beautification project.
Wade Trim and Rowe Incorporated made major renovations to transform empty downtown Flint blocks into business, entertainment, and housing centers. WNEM-TV, a television station based in Saginaw, uses space in the Wade Trim building facing Saginaw Street as a secondary studio and newsroom.
The long-vacant Durant Hotel, formerly owned by the United Hotels Company, was turned into a mixture of commercial space and apartments intended to attract young professionals or college students, with 93 units.
In March 2008, the Crim Race Foundation put up an offer to buy the vacant Character Inn and turn it into a fitness center and do a multimillion-dollar renovation.
Similar to a plan in Detroit, Flint is in the process of tearing down thousands of abandoned homes to create available real estate. As of June 2009, approximately 1,100 homes have been demolished in Flint, with one official estimating another 3,000 more will have to be torn down.
Second financial emergency: 2011–2015
On September 30, 2011, Governor Rick Snyder appointed an eight-member team to review Flint's financial state with a request to report back in 30 days (half the legal time for a review). On November 8, Mayor Dayne Walling defeated challenger Darryl Buchanan 8,819 votes (56%) to 6,868 votes (44%). That same day, the Michigan State review panel declared Flint to be in a state of a "local government financial emergency" recommending the state again appoint an emergency manager. On November 14, the City Council voted 7 to 2 to not appeal the state review with Mayor Walling concurring the next day. Governor Snyder appointed Michael Brown as the city's emergency manager. On December 2, Brown dismissed a number of top administrators. Pay and benefits from Flint's elected officials were automatically removed. On December 8, the office of ombudsman and the Civil Service Commission were eliminated by Brown.
On January 16, 2012, protestors against the emergency manager law including Flint residents marched near the governor's home. The next day, Brown filed a financial and operating plan with the state as mandated by law. The next month, each ward in the city had a community engagement meeting hosted by Brown. Governor Snyder on March 7 made a statewide public safety message from Flint City Hall that included help for Flint with plans for reopening the Flint lockup and increasing state police patrols in Flint.
On March 20, 2012, days after a lawsuit was filed by labor union AFSCME, and a restraining order was issued against Brown, his appointment was found to be in violation of the Michigan Open Meetings Act, and Mayor Walling and the City Council had their powers returned. The state immediately filed an emergency appeal, claiming the financial emergency still existed. On March 26, the appeal was granted, putting Brown back in power. Brown and several unions agreed to new contract terms in April. Brown unveiled his fiscal year 2013 budget on April 23. It included cuts in nearly every department including police and fire, as well as higher taxes. An Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District was created by Manager Brown in June 2012 for 11 downtown Flint properties. On July 19, the city pension system was transferred to the Municipal Employees Retirement System by the city's retirement board which led to a legal challenge.
On August 3, 2012, the Michigan Supreme Court ordered the state Board of Canvassers to certify a referendum on Public Act 4, the Emergency Manager Law, for the November ballot. Brown made several actions on August 7 including placing a $6 million public safety millage on the ballot and sold Genesee Towers to a development group for $1 to demolish the structure. The board certified the referendum petition on August 8, returning the previous Emergency Financial Manager Law into effect. With Brown previously temporary mayor for the last few years, he was ineligible to be the Emergency Financial Manager. Ed Kurtz was once again appointed Emergency Financial Manager by the Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board.
Two lawsuits were filed in September 2012, one by the city council against Kurtz's appointment, while another was against the state in Ingham County Circuit Court claiming the old emergency financial manager law remains repealed. On November 30, State Treasurer Andy Dillon announced the financial emergency was still ongoing, and the emergency manager was still needed.
Michael Brown was re-appointed Emergency Manager on June 26, 2013, and returned to work on July 8. Flint had an $11.3 million projected deficit when Brown started as emergency manager in 2011. The city faced a $19.1 million combined deficit from 2012, with plans to borrow $12 million to cover part of it. Brown resigned from his position in early September 2013, and his last day was October 31. He was succeeded by Saginaw city manager (and former Flint temporary mayor) Darnell Earley.
Earley formed a blue ribbon committee on governance with 23 members on January 16, 2014, to review city operations and consider possible charter amendments. The blue ribbon committee recommend that the city move to a council-manager government. Six charter amendment proposals were placed on the , ballot with the charter review commission proposal passing along with reduction of mayoral staff appointments and budgetary amendments. Proposals which would eliminate certain executive departments, the Civil Service Commission and the ombudsman office were defeated. Flint elected a nine-member Charter Review Commission on May 5, 2015.
With Earley appointed to be emergency manager for Detroit Public Schools on , city financial adviser Jerry Ambrose was selected to finish out the financial emergency with an expected exit in April. On , the state moved the city from under an emergency manager receivership to a Receivership Transition Advisory Board. On November 3, 2015, Flint residents elected Karen Weaver as their first female mayor. On January 22, 2016, the Receivership Transition Advisory Board unanimously voted to return some powers, including appointment authority, to the mayor. The Receivership Transit Authority Board was formally dissolved by State Treasurer Nick Khouri on April 10, 2018, returning the city to local control.
Water state of emergency
In April 2014, during a financial crisis, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint's water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron) to the Flint River. The problem was compounded with the fact that anticorrosive measures were not implemented. After two independent studies, lead poisoning caused by the water was found in the area's population. This has led to several lawsuits, the resignation of several officials, fifteen criminal indictments, and a federal public health state of emergency for all of Genesee County.
Geography
Flint lies in the Flint/Tri-Cities region of Michigan. Flint and Genesee County can be categorized as a subregion of Flint/Tri-Cities. It is located along the Flint River, which flows through Lapeer, Genesee, and Saginaw counties and is long.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of , of which, is land and is water. Flint lies just to the northeast of the Flint hills. The terrain is low and rolling along the south and east sides, and flatter to the northwest.
Neighborhoods
Flint has several neighborhoods grouped around the center of the city on the four cardinal sides. The downtown business district is centered on Saginaw Street south of the Flint River. Just west, on opposite sides of the river, are Carriage Town (north) and the Grand Traverse Street District (south). Both neighborhoods boast strong neighborhood associations. These neighborhoods were the center of manufacturing for and profits from the nation's carriage industry until the 1920s and are the site of many well-preserved Victorian homes and the setting of Atwood Stadium.
The University Avenue corridor of Carriage Town is home to the largest concentration of Greek housing in the area, with fraternity houses from both Kettering University, and the University of Michigan-Flint. Chapter houses include Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Chi, Theta Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Theta Xi, Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Gamma Delta, and Delta Tau Delta Fraternities.
Just north of downtown is River Village, an example of gentrification via mixed-income public housing. To the east of I-475 is Central Park and Fairfield Village. These are the only two neighborhoods between UM-Flint and Mott Community College and enjoy strong neighborhood associations. Central Park piloted a project to convert street lights to LED and is defined by seven cul-de-sacs.
The North Side and 5th Ward are predominantly African American, with such historic districts as Buick City and Civic Park on the north, and Sugar Hill, Floral Park, and Kent and Elm Parks on the south. Many of these neighborhoods were the original centers of early Michigan blues. The South Side in particular was also a center for multi-racial migration from Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Deep South since World War II. These neighborhoods are most often lower income but have maintained some level of economic stratification. The East Side is the site of the Applewood Mott Estate, and Mott Community College, the Cultural Center, and East Village, one of Flint's more prosperous areas. The surrounding neighborhood is called the College/Cultural Neighborhood, with a strong neighborhood association, lower crime rate and stable housing prices.
Just north is Eastside Proper, also known as the State Streets, and has much of Flint's Hispanic community.
The West Side includes the main site of the 1936–37 sit-down strike, the Mott Park neighborhood, Kettering University, and the historic Woodcroft Estates, owned in the past by legendary automotive executives and current home to prominent and historic Flint families such as the Motts, the Manleys, and the Smiths.
Facilities associated with General Motors in the past and present are scattered throughout the city, including GM Truck and Bus, Flint Metal Center and Powertrain South (clustered together on the city's southwestern corner); Powertrain North, Flint Tool and Die and Delphi East. The largest plant, Buick City, and adjacent facilities have been demolished.
Half of Flint's fourteen tallest buildings were built during the 1920s. The 19-story Genesee Towers, formerly the city's tallest building, was completed in 1968. The building became unused in later years and fell into severe disrepair: a cautionary sign warning of falling debris was put on the sidewalk in front of it. An investment company purchased the building for $1, and it was demolished (by implosion) on December 22, 2013.
Climate
Typical of southeastern Michigan, Flint has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb), and is part of USDA Hardiness zone 6a. Winters are cold, with moderate snowfall and temperatures not rising above freezing on an average 52 days annually, while dropping to or below on an average 9.3 days a year; summers are warm to hot with temperatures exceeding on 9.0 days.

Government
The city levies an income tax of 1 percent on residents and 0.5 percent on nonresidents. The 1974 Charter is the city's current charter that gives the city a strong mayor form of government. It also instituted the appointed independent office of Ombudsman, while the city clerk is solely appointed by the city council. The city council is composed of members elected from the city's nine wards. A Charter Review Commission is currently impaneled to review the charter for a complete overhaul. The city operated under state-led financial receivership from April 30, 2015, to April 10, 2018, which saw the city under an Emergency Manager as the State of Michigan had declared a state of local government financial emergency. The Receivership Transition Advisory Board had the authority to override council decisions related to financial matters. The city has operated under at least four charters (1855, 1888, 1929, 1974).
Law enforcement
Law enforcement in Flint is the responsibility of the Flint Police Department, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, and the Michigan State Police. Flint has been consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in the United States by multiple sources. From 2007 to 2009, violent crime in Flint was ranked in the top five among U.S. cities with a population of at least 50,000 people. From 2010 to 2012, Flint ranked as the city with the highest violent crime rate among cities with over 100,000 population. In 2015, CQ Press (using FBI statistics) ranked the crime index for Flint as seventh-highest in cities with population greater than 75,000. In 2018, the FBI reported Flint was ranked as America's sixth most violent city among those with population of 50,000 or more in 2017. Violent crimes were up 23% compared to 2016 according to the report.
Politics
Most politicians are affiliated with the Democratic party despite the city's elections being nonpartisan. In 2006, Flint was the tenth most liberal city in the United States, according to a nationwide study by the non-partisan Bay Area Center for Voting Research, which examined the voting patterns of 237 cities with a population over 100,000.
The city elected Karen Weaver as its first female mayor in 2015. She was succeeded in 2020 by Sheldon Neeley.
Sports
American football
There is semi-pro football at Atwood Stadium with the Flint Fury. Atwood is an 11,000+ seat stadium in downtown Flint which has hosted many events, including baseball. When artificial turf was installed, it was no longer able to host baseball games. The Flint Fury have been in action since 2003, and are currently a part of the Great Lakes Football League. The team was founded by two of its players; Charles Lawler and Prince Goodson, who both played for the defunct Flint Falcons semi-pro team. The team is now solely owned by Lawler.
The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram II, born and raised in Grand Blanc, attended his final year of high school at Flint Southwestern Academy. He won the Heisman with 1304 total votes. Ingram attended the University of Alabama and is their first Heisman winner. He was a member of the National Champion 2009 Alabama Crimson Tide football team.
Basketball
Many Flint natives have played basketball in the National Basketball Association (NBA), NCAA Division 1 or European professional basketball. NBA champion Glen Rice, Eddie Robinson and three-time NBA champion JaVale McGee, and Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma all hail from Flint, as do Morris Peterson, Mateen Cleaves, and Charlie Bell (four of the five starters from Michigan State University's "Flintstones" 2000 National Championship team).
Local teacher and independent film maker Marcus Davenport chronicles Flint's ties to basketball and the basketball culture in his documentary Flint Star: The Motion Picture. Will Ferrell's 2008 movie Semi-Pro is based on the fictional basketball team the "Flint Tropics".
Ice hockey
On January 14, 2015, the Ontario Hockey League's Plymouth Whalers were relocated to Flint after a sale of the team to the owner of Perani Arena for the 2015–16 season. The team changed its name to the Flint Firebirds.
Other sports
Flint is twinned with Hamilton, Ontario, and its amateur athletes compete in the CANUSA Games, held alternatively between the two cities since 1957.

Infrastructure
Bus lines
The city of Flint is served by various bus lines. For travel within and around the city, the Flint Mass Transportation Authority (MTA) provides local bus services. Indian Trails provides inter-city bus service north to Saint Ignace, through Bay City and south to Pontiac, Southfield, and Detroit, and runs services west to Chicago. MTA's main hub is in Downtown Flint, while the Indian Trails station is co-located at the Flint Amtrak station on Dort Highway, just north of I-69.
Major highways

, also known as Dort Highway after Flint automotive pioneer Josiah Dallas Dort, runs north and south through the eastern part of the city.
Railroads
Amtrak provides intercity passenger rail service on the Blue Water line from Chicago to Port Huron at the border to Canada. The Amtrak station is located on Dort Highway, just north of I-69. The station was built in 1989 and replaced an earlier Grand Trunk Western Railroad (GTW) station closer to downtown. Canadian National Railway (GTW's successor) and Lake State Railway provide freight service to Flint, with CN operating from Bristol Yard on the western side of the city and LSRC operating from the former CSX Transportation McGrew Yard to the north. While CSX ceded control of their former Saginaw Subdivision north of Plymouth to LSRC in 2019, they continue to operate trackage rights trains over CN from Flint to Port Huron several times per week as of 2020. Into the late 1940s, the Pere Marquette Railway operated daily passenger trains through a separate station miles away, with trains heading north to Saginaw and Bay City and south to Detroit's Fort Street Union Depot.
Airports
Flint is served by three passenger and two cargo airlines at Bishop International Airport. It is located on Bristol Road between I-75 and I-69. Dalton Airport, a public use airport near Flushing, also serves small, privately owned planes. Price's Airport in Linden serves the same purpose.
Healthcare
Hurley Medical Center
McLaren Regional Medical Center
Flint once had two other full service hospitals: St. Joseph's Hospital and Flint Osteopathic Hospital (FOH). In 1988, HealthSource Group, the parent company of FOH, became affiliated with St. Joseph Health Systems. In 1992, St. Joseph Health Systems changed its name to Genesys Health System and the names of its four hospitals to Genesys Regional Medical Center (GRMC). On February 15, 1997, all the former GHS hospitals were consolidated into one hospital at Genesys Regional Medical Center at Health Park in suburban Grand Blanc Township (now owned by Ascension Health who later changed its name to Ascension Genesys Hospital) and Flint Osteopathic Hospital was razed during the Spring/Summer of 2015.

Primary and secondary schools
Public K-12 education is provided under the umbrella of the Flint Community Schools. Students attend ten elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school (Flint Southwestern Academy). The city's original high school, Flint Central High School, was closed in 2009 because of a budget deficit and a lack of maintenance on the building by the Flint School District. The building, however, still stands. Flint Northern High School was converted to an alternative education school at the start of the 2013–14 school year and was closed later in 2014. The state-run Michigan School for the Deaf is located in Flint, and Michigan School for the Blind was previously there, having moved from Lansing in 1995.
The Catholic high school is Fr. Luke M. Powers Catholic High School which is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing and serves the entire county. The school moved from its location just north of Flint in Mt. Morris Township in 2013 into the former Michigan School for the Deaf building off of Miller Road in Flint, which received a $22 million renovation. The Valley School is a small private K–12 school. Flint also has several charter schools.
Libraries
The Flint Public Library holds 454,645 books, 22,355 audio materials, 9,453 video materials, and 2,496 serial subscriptions.
Media
Print
The county's largest newspaper is The Flint Journal, which dates back to 1876. Effective June 2009 the paper ceased to be a daily publication, opting to publish on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. The move made Genesee County the largest county in the United States without a daily newspaper. The Flint Journal began publishing a Tuesday edition in March 2010.
The East Village Magazine is a non-profit news magazine providing information about neighborhood issues since 1976. The monthly magazine centers on the East Village neighborhood, outside downtown Flint, but is distributed throughout the city. The Uncommon Sense was a monthly publication featuring investigative journalism, political analysis, satirical cartoons, and articles about Flint music, art, nightlife and culture; it stopped publishing in 2007.

WSMH (Fox) is licensed to Flint, but its programming originates from outside of Flint proper (the suburb Mt. Morris Township), WEYI (NBC), licensed to Saginaw, and WBSF (The CW), licensed to Bay City, share studios with WSMH. Other stations outside the Flint area that serve the area include Saginaw-based WNEM-TV (CBS) (which has a news bureau in Downtown Flint), Delta College's WDCQ-TV (PBS), and Saginaw's WAQP (TCT).

Radio
The Flint radio market has a rich history. WAMM-AM 1420 (started in 1955, now gospel station WFLT) on the city's eastside was one of the first stations in the country to program to the black community and was also where legendary DJ Casey Kasem had his first radio job. WTAC-AM 600 (now religious station WSNL) was a highly rated and influential Top 40 station in the 1960s and 1970s, showcasing Michigan artists and being the first in the U.S. to play acts like The Who and AC/DC. WTAC changed its format to country music in 1980 and then became a pioneering contemporary Christian music station a few years later; the calls are now on 89.7 FM, a member of the "Smile FM" network. WTRX-AM 1330 also played Top 40 music for a time in the 1960s and '70s. The city's first radio station, AM 910 WFDF, first went on the air in 1922. It has since relocated south into the Detroit market, changing its city of license to Farmington Hills and increasing its power to 50,000 watts.

The Xavier Musketeers men's basketball team represents Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school's team currently competes in the Big East Conference, and are coached by Sean Miller. Xavier has appeared in the NCAA tournament 29 times, 16 times in the 18 tournaments between 2001 and 2018. On March 11, 2018, Xavier earned its first ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Xavier is also a two-time winner of the NIT, with their most recent championship coming in 2022.
Xavier won four Atlantic 10 tournament championships (1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006). Xavier has won or shared 17 regular season conference championships, while winning 9 conference tournament championships. In addition, they have won one Big East Conference regular season title in 2018. They made the 2023 Big East Championship but lost to the Marquette Golden Eagles.
Xavier has been listed among the top-20 most valuable college basketball teams.
History
The first Xavier basketball game on record was February 20, 1920 at the Fenwick Club in Cincinnati. Coached by Joe Meyer, the Musketeers compiled a 94–52 record during Meyer's's 13-year run as head coach from 1920 to 1933. The Musketeer's success continued under second head coach Clem Crowe. During Crowe's 10 years as Xavier head coach, Xavier compiled a record of 96–78. Crowe's 96 wins as a head coach rank fourth all-time among Xavier head coaches.
Following the 1942–43 season, play was suspended for the following two seasons because of World War II. In 1945, the program resumed under the leadership of head coach Ed Burns. In his one season as head coach, Burns compiled a record of 3–16.
In 1946, Burns was replaced by Lew Hirt. Under Hirt, the Musketeers first postseason appearance was in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) during the 1948 NAIA National Basketball tournament, the national tournament for small colleges. Xavier finished in 4th place, losing to Hamline University in the national third-place game, 58–59. 1948 was the only year Xavier appeared in the NAIA tournament.
In 1951, Hirt was replaced as head coach by Ned Wulk. Wulk guided the Musketeers to National Invitational Tournament appearances in 1956 and 1957. The 1956 appearance marked Xavier's first NIT win, an 84–80 victory over Saint Louis.
After a loss to Bradley in the 1957 NIT, Wulk was replaced as head coach by Jim McCafferty. McCafferty led the Musketeers back to a third straight NIT in 1958. With wins over Niagara, Bradley, St. Bonaventure and Dayton, Xavier captured the NIT. According to most college basketball historians, the NIT was the elite post season tournament until the NCAA overtook it in the early 1960s. That was the first postseason championship won by any Ohio Division I school.
In 1961, McCafferty led Xavier to their first appearance in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. On March 14, 1961, Xavier fell to Morehead State at the Kentucky State Fairgrounds in Louisville, Kentucky.
McCafferty was replaced as head coach in 1963. He would be followed by Don Ruberg (1963–67), George Krajack (1967–71), Dick Campbell (1971–73) and Tay Baker (1973–79).
In 1979, Xavier was one of the charter members of the Midwestern City Conference (nicknamed the MCC or Midwestern City 6, and now known as the Horizon League), which also included Butler, Evansville, Loyola (Chicago), Oklahoma City, and Oral Roberts. That year also marked the hiring of head coach Bob Staak, who compiled an 88–86 record during his six seasons as head coach, including a return to both the NCAA Tournament and NIT.
Pete Gillen era
1985 once again marked considerable change for the program. In addition to the hiring of head coach Pete Gillen, the Midwestern City Conference altered its name slightly to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, adding more teams including Detroit, Notre Dame (excluding men's basketball and football), Saint Louis, Marquette and Dayton. The MCC is the predecessor to the present-day Horizon League. Xavier was a member of the MCC from 1979 to 1995 and won eight regular season and six conference tournament championships.
From 1985 to 1994, Gillen compiled a 202–75 record, including the program's first five wins in the NCAA Tournament. The Musketeers advanced to the NCAA Tournament in seven of Gillen's nine years at the helm. In 1990, Xavier beat Kansas State and future Big East colleagues Georgetown to advance to the program's first Sweet Sixteen.
Skip Prosser era
Skip Prosser was hired in the spring of 1994 to replace departed head coach Pete Gillen. In his seven seasons as head coach, Prosser compiled a 148–65 record with four NCAA tournament appearances. Prosser's 148 wins are third all-time at Xavier. During his time at Xavier, Prosser continued to build on the momentum Gillen had created. Early in his tenure, Prosser added recruits Gary Lumpkin, Darnell Williams, Lenny Brown and James Posey. Those four players provided the core of Prosser's success during his time at Xavier. After missing the NCAA Tournament in both 1999 and 2000, Xavier returned to the tournament in 2001. Following a loss to Notre Dame in the tournament's first round, Prosser accepted the position of head coach at Wake Forest.
Thad Matta era
Thad Matta left alma mater Butler to replace Skip Prosser as Xavier's head coach in 2001. Hired with only one year of head coaching experience, Matta inherited a talented core of players in David West, Lionel Chalmers, and Romain Sato. During his three years at the helm, Matta compiled a record of 78–23, with three straight NCAA tournament appearances and Xavier's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. Matta won two Atlantic 10 regular-season championships in his first two years behind the play of National Player of the Year David West. Following Matta's second year, West was drafted in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft by the New Orleans Hornets. With West's departure, seniors Lionel Chalmers, Romain Sato and Anthony Myles became the team's cornerstone for the 2003–04 season. After a 10–9 start, Xavier closed the season by winning 16 of its last 18 games. "The Run", as it became known, left Xavier 3 points shy of making the program's first NCAA Final Four appearance.
Sean Miller era
The summer following Xavier's first Elite Eight appearance, Matta was offered and accepted the position of head men's basketball coach at Ohio State. Xavier Athletic Director, Dawn Rogers, quickly promoted Xavier Associate Head Coach Sean Miller. From 2004 to 2009, Miller compiled a record of 120–47. Advancing to the NCAA Tournament in four of his five seasons as head coach, Miller led the Musketeers to another Elite Eight appearance in 2008 and a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2009. During Miller's tenure as head coach, Xavier continued to shed the "mid-major" label and separate itself as one of the country's premier college basketball programs. Miller's NCAA Tournament success, aggressive non-conference scheduling and national recruiting allowed Xavier to be recognized with the likes of Memphis and Gonzaga as one of the premier basketball programs. After turning away interest from many programs, Sean Miller left Xavier to become the head basketball coach at Arizona.
Chris Mack era
On April 15, 2009, Xavier's Athletic Director named Xavier Assistant Coach Chris Mack as the 17th head basketball coach in the program's history. A Cincinnati native and Xavier graduate, Mack compiled a record of 26–9 in his first year as head coach. Behind the play of 2010 NBA draft pick Jordan Crawford, Xavier advanced to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet Sixteen for a third straight season. Chris Mack, the 2009–10 Basketball Times Rookie Coach of the Year, was the first Xavier head coach to lead the Musketeers to the Sweet Sixteen in his first season at the helm. With a 14–2 record in Atlantic 10 play, Xavier also won a share of their fourth straight conference championship.
Finishing with a 24–8 overall record including a 15–1 record in the A-10, Mack lead the Musketeers to a fifth consecutive A-10 title and another NCAA tournament berth in 2010–11.
In a 2011–12 season filled with highs and lows. The early season was marred by the Crosstown Shootout brawl in their yearly rivalry game against Cincinnati. The Musketeers had reached as high as #8 in the AP Poll before numerous suspensions from the Crosstown Shootout brawl lead to the team losing 5 of their next 6 games. Xavier rebounded from this ugly incident and reached Mack's second Sweet Sixteen.
In 2013, Xavier joined the newly reconstituted Big East Conference following Big East conference realignment. Xavier became one of the new members of the new 10-team Big East with the "Catholic 7" (DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, and Villanova) plus Butler and Creighton. Xavier finished their first season in the Big East with a record of 21–13, 10–8 to finish Big East play in a tie for third place. They received a bid to the NCAA tournament, but lost in the First Round (First Four).
The 2014–15 season also saw a return to the Sweet Sixteen for the Musketeers. From 2008 to 2015, Xavier made five Sweet Sixteens, tied for third in the nation over that span behind only Louisville and Michigan State. The 2015–16 team finished second in the Big East to Villanova, Xavier's highest finish in the Big East, and advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA tournament.
In 2017, Mack led Xavier to a 24–14 season and got the 11th seed in the West and advanced to the Elite Eight by defeating 6th seed Maryland, 3rd seed Florida State, and 2nd seed Arizona. In the Elite Eight they lost to Gonzaga.
Mack's 215 wins concluding the 2017–18 season placed him first in all-time wins in Xavier history.
Travis Steele era
On March 27, 2018, Mack was named the head coach at the University of Louisville. Four days after Mack left Xavier for Louisville, longtime Xavier assistant coach Travis Steele was named head coach of the Musketeers. Despite success against rival Cincinnati, Steele was criticized for his inability to lead the Musketeers to the NCAA Tournament. After missing the tournament for the fourth consecutive year, Steele was fired on March 16, 2022.
2nd Sean Miller era
Only three days after the firing of Travis Steele, Xavier hired former coach Sean Miller as his replacement. During the period in between Steele’s exit and Miller’s full installation as head coach, Jonas Hayes served as interim. Hayes would lead the Musketeers to their second-ever NIT Championship.
In his first season back at Xavier, Miller led the team to a 27-10 record, earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament as a 3 seed, where they would be eliminated in the Sweet 16.
Home courts
Cintas Center
Xavier currently plays its home games at the Cintas Center, a 10,224 seat multi-purpose arena that opened in 2000. The Cintas Center is the fifth different home site in program history.
At Cintas Center, Xavier enjoys one of the nation's best home court advantages. As of April 2018 the Musketeers have compiled a 258–41 (an .863 winning percentage) record since moving to its on-campus home in 2000. Xavier enjoyed a 15–0 mark at home during the 2009–10, its only perfect record for a season at Cintas Center. During the 2017–2018 season, the Musketeers set a Cintas Center record with 17 home victories. The building was named the #3 "Toughest Place to Play" on EA Sports' NCAA Basketball '10. In August 2018 the NCAA named it as the 8th toughest home court in college basketball.
Through the 2018–2019 season, Cintas Center has hosted 3,011,308 fans for Xavier home games and the Musketeers have averaged 10,071 fans (better than 98% capacity) per game during that time. The 2017–2018 season marked the highest average attendance in Cintas Center history with an average 10,475 (over 102% capacity) Musketeer fans at each home game.
Cincinnati Gardens
The Musketeers played their final season at Cincinnati Gardens in 1999–2000. Located 2 miles from the Xavier campus, the Gardens was the home court for the Xavier Musketeers since 1983–84 season.
The Xavier men's team played all of its regular season games off campus at the Cincinnati Gardens for 17 years, beginning with the 1983–84 season and ending with an NIT game against Marquette in the 1999–2000 season. The only exception was a game against Florida International that was played at Schmidt Fieldhouse on January 9, 1988.
Xavier compiled an impressive 215–25 (.896) record after moving to the Gardens in the 1983–84 season, including 14–1 in its final season.
Schmidt Fieldhouse
Prior to moving to the Cincinnati Gardens in the 1983–84 season, Xavier called Schmidt Fieldhouse home. Located on the west side of the Xavier Campus, Xavier compiled an impressive 326–129 (.716) record at the Fieldhouse.
Until opening Cintas Center, the men's basketball team had only played one regular season game on campus since early in the 1983–84 season. Xavier scored a school-record point total in a 125–84 win over Florida International on Saturday, January 9, 1988.

CYMA - Canadian Youth Mission to Armenia - is a volunteer-run humanitarian and student exchange program in support of Armenia created by Archbishop Hovnan Derderian and Ronald Alepian.
Program Description
CYMA, the Canadian Youth Mission to Armenia, is a Canadian, volunteer led humanitarian and exchange program focused on redevelopment, community projects, humanitarian aid distribution and student exchange. CYMA was founded in late 1992 through a collaboration between Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, then primate of the Canadian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and university student Ronald Alepian.
1993
The first CYMA "mission" took place in the summer of 1993 when 24 young Canadians spent a month in the Ararat region of the newly independent Armenia. The mission had three main projects:
The construction of a primary school. A . building left uncompleted after the fall of the Soviet Union was renovated and furnished in under 4 weeks by the volunteers and opened in late August 1993. It continues to operate today.
Distribution of aid to border villages affected by the War in Karabakh and to children and orphan members of the CFFA - Children's Fund for Armenia.
Visitations, aid and humanitarian relief to poor families in the Ararat Region.
1994
The summer of 1994 saw fifty participants from several cities across Canada, as well as individuals from Europe and the United States. These volunteers chose to take part in the renovation of a school and a monastery, establish a day camp for the young victims of the Nagorno-Kharabagh war, present a Christian outreach program, conduct home visitations and collect statistical data and anecdotal evidence regarding the forced Armenian exodus from Azerbaijan. Most importantly they chose to share and connect with the locals to raise spirits and give them hope to endure those difficult times and look forward to a brighter future.
1995
In a meeting with local school board officials, CYMA leaders identified Afshar High School for Honor Students as the main project. Local officials began renovating the building in the hopes of creating a school for higher learning to prepare bright and promising students in the region for university education. In September 1996, the school opened and the villages in the Ararat Region began to train their youth for the future. The alumni of the "Nor Tbrotz" school of Istanbul, Turkey donated a substantial amount of money for the realization of this project. The year also witnessed the start of the new Christian Outreach Program and Education, see below.
Also, CYMA participants renovated all of the floors of the Shirazloo village's high school and financed the reconstruction of the flooring in Shirazloo Kindergarten. From years of neglect, many of the floors were collapsing due to rotting of the wood in both establishments.
1996
The 1996 mission was dedicated to the renovation of an orphanage, as well as a day camp for children between the ages of eight and twelve. In the mountainous and enchanting site of Dilijian, participants found themselves on the grounds of the Meredi orphanage. The building was limited in capacity due to the unlivable state of some of the dormitories: floors were covered in dust and garbage, or contained major fissures, walls were on the verge of collapse, wallpaper was shredded and the exterior walls were compromised due to the faulty masonry during the original construction. An extensive renovation was carried out which resulted in an increase of the capacity of the orphanage.
As every year, CYMA had organized a day camp for disadvantaged children. During the day, CYMA volunteers participated with the kids in the regular classes organized by the orphanage for the children. The youth played games, music, taught arts & crafts and introduced many new sports to the orphans.
1997
Young Armenian Canadian students and workers participated in the Canadian Youth Mission to Armenia's fifth anniversary. The summer of 1997 was an all-out summer camp with children including visitations to local community houses and also the distribution of humanitarian aid.
1998
CYMA renovated Khor Virap and conducted day camps in Ararat.
1999
The CYMA mission of 1999 was the seventh pilgrimage to Armenia and took place in the village of Dzaghgatzor. Participants joined together from Canada, United States and Mexico to on a major renovation of a day camp known as George Makinisian Camp. Some of the tasks of the construction included, cleaning, removing existing furniture, scraping the wallpaper, chiseling the tiles from the walls, carving opening for wire and cable application to interior partition walls, sanding walls, window frames, doors and flooring, leveling the ground and digging a 200-meter water pipe line trench.
The day camp took place twice a week in the mornings for approximately 120 local children in Dzaghgatzor. The average class was 17 people with three or four CYMA participants as leaders of each class. During the course of the morning the participants interacted with the children by teaching them prayers, songs and poetry in both English and Armenian. In addition, the participants spent time with the kids through games, sports, arts and crafts.
Creation of CYMA
CYMA operates under the auspices of the Canadian Diocese, but since its early days, enjoys the active participation and support of the various Armenian organizations in Canada, including the AGBU - Armenian General Benevolent Union.
It was founded in 1992 by Archbishop Hovnan Derderian and Founding Chairperson Ronald Alepian, then a 22-year-old university student. When creating CYMA, Alepian formed an honorary Board of Directors to add credibility to the mission, which included the late Senator Jacques Hebert (founder of Canada World Youth) and the late Senator Shirley Maheu. Hebert and Maheu gave counsel and direction to Alepian and the early CYMA leaders.
One of the first things done by the founding committee was to commission a logo to brand the program in the minds of the community. The logo is highly recognizable within the Armenian community and remains a symbol of Canada's participation in the redevelopment of the new country.
Alepian was awarded the St. Gregory of Nareg Cross by Archbishop Derderian in 1993 for his work developing the CYMA program.
On-going mission
CYMA continues to operate today, now working in direct collaboration with the Armenian Church Youth Organization. It remains one of the most active youth projects within the Armenian community.

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) are methods of birth control that provide effective contraception for an extended period without requiring user action. They include injections, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and subdermal contraceptive implants. They are the most effective reversible methods of contraception because their efficacy is not reliant on patient compliance. The typical use failure rates of IUDs and implants, less than 1% per year, are about the same as perfect use failure rates.
LARCS are convenient, enjoyable and cost effective. Typically, users save thousands of dollars over a five-year period compared to those who buy condoms and birth control pills. About 15.5% of women worldwide use IUDs, and 3.4% use subdermal implants.
LARCS are recommended to adolescents to decrease the teen pregnancy rate. They work in women of any age and number of births. Women may consider family planning advice beforehand.
Methods
LARC methods include IUDs and the subdermal implant:
Hormonal intrauterine device (Mirena – also known as IUC or IUS)
Nonhormonal intrauterine device with copper (US – ParaGard)
Subdermal contraceptive implant (US – Nexplanon/Implanon/Implanon NXT; internationally – Norplant/Jadelle)
Some shorter-acting methods are sometimes considered LARC:
Progestogen-only injectable contraceptive
Combined injectable contraceptive
Medical use
The effectiveness of LARC methods has been shown to be superior to other types of birth control.
A study in 2012, with the largest cohort of IUD and implant users to date, found that the risk of contraceptive failure for those using oral contraceptive pills, the birth control patch, or the vaginal ring was 17 to 20 times higher than the risk for those using long-acting reversible contraception. For those under 21, who typically have lower adherence to drug regimens, the risk is twice as high as the risk among older participants. A statistically significant association has been observed in England between a decrease in teenage conception and increased LARC usage.
The discrepancy between LARC methods and other forms of birth control lies in the difference between "perfect use" and "typical use". Perfect use indicates complete adherence to medication schedules and guidelines. Typical use describes effectiveness in real-world conditions, where patients may not fully adhere to medication regimens. LARC methods require little to no user action after insertion; therefore, LARC perfect use failure rates are the same as their typical use failure rates.
LARC failure rates rival that of sterilization, but unlike sterilization LARC methods are reversible. Other reversible methods, such as oral contraceptive pills, the birth control patch, or the vaginal ring require daily, weekly, or monthly action by the user. While the perfect use failure rates of those methods may equal LARC methods, the typical use failure rates are significantly higher.
Even methods such as the DMPA injection require users to return to their provider every 12 weeks for the intramuscular shot or every 4 weeks for the subcutaneous shot. So, DMPA typical use failure rates are also higher than perfect use failure rates as more than 40% of women discontinue DMPA in the first year.
In both effectiveness and continuation, LARC methods are considered the first-line option for contraception.
Side effects
Contraceptive implants may cause irregular bleeding which some women find unacceptable as a side effect ("Irregular bleeding and spotting common in first 6 months" associated with IUS; similar to side effects observed with IUD, injection or implant. "Changes in bleeding pattern which are likely to remain irregular") or a complete cessation of menstrual flow (amenorrhea). Side effects that are observed less often may include emotional lability, weight gain, headache, and acne.
Side effects for LARC are mostly similar to combined and progesterone only oral contraceptives, with a possibility of a small change in mood or libido observed in IUD and IUS use. The risk of acne vulgaris may be higher in IUS users, but is an uncommon reason for stopping use. Weight gain has been observed with depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera). IUDs present a slight risk of infection at the time of insertion but have a low risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (<1% for women at low risk of STIs), and uterine perforation (<1 in 1000). If a person becomes pregnant while they have an IUD inserted then the IUD should be removed within the first 12 weeks of gestation. In such a case, the mother has low risk of ectopic pregnancy – approximately 1 in 20. Women who cease using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate can find that they have a delay of up to a year before being able to get pregnant, while there is no evidence of a delay in IUD, IUS or implant users.
Society and culture
Cost and benefit
LARC methods traditionally have a higher up-front cost, between $800 and $900 in the United States, than methods such as pills, patches and vaginal rings, but are more cost-effective in the long run. Like all contraceptive methods, access to LARC methods can reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy and result in significant cost savings to publicly funded health systems. Women switching from short-acting reversible contraceptive to long-acting intrauterine systems are likely to generate cost savings from unplanned pregnancy-related expenses and long term savings in contraceptive costs. Regardless, the initial out of pocket cost is still too high for many patients and is one of the biggest barriers to LARC use. Two recent studies done in California and St. Louis have shown that rates of LARC usage are dramatically higher when the costs of the methods are either covered or removed. A program geared toward increasing use of LARC among adolescents in Iowa demonstrated a significant decrease in the unintended pregnancy and abortion rate in that state along with a projected savings of $17.23 for every dollar spent on contraception for 14- to 19-year-olds.
The Colorado Family Planning Initiative (CPFI), a six-year $23 million privately funded program to expand access to LARCs, decreased unplanned adolescent pregnancies in the state by about 40% and returned $5.85 in savings for each dollar spent. There was a similar decline of unplanned pregnancies in unmarried women under 25 who have not finished high school, another at risk group. Use of LARC methods by children of child-bearing age in the state increased to 20% during the 2009-2014 period.
A 2017 study found that CPFI "reduced the teen birth rate in counties with clinics receiving funding by 6.4 percent over five years. These effects were concentrated in the second through fifth years of the program and in counties with relatively high poverty rates."
Promotion
The United Kingdom Department of Health has actively promoted LARC use since 2008, particularly for young people; following on from the October 2005 National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines, which promoted LARC provision in the United Kingdom, accurate and detailed counseling for women about these methods, and training of healthcare professionals to provide these methods. Giving advice on these methods of contraception has been included in the 2009 Quality and Outcomes Framework "good practice" for primary care.
The use of long-acting reversible contraceptives in the United States has increased nearly fivefold from 1.5% in 2002 to 7.2% in 2011–2013. Increasing access to long-acting reversible contraceptives was listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the top public health priorities for reducing teen pregnancy and unintended pregnancy in the United States. One study of female family planning providers showed that they were significantly more likely to use LARCs than the general population (41.7% compared to 12.0%) suggesting that the general population has less information or access to LARCs.
Guidelines released in 2009 by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists state that LARC methods are considered to be the first-line option for birth control in the United States, and are recommended for the majority of women.
According to the CDC Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use, LARC methods are recommended for the majority of women who have had their first menstruation, regardless of whether they have had any pregnancies. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in a policy statement and technical report published in October 2014 recommended LARC methods for adolescents.

Ellis Abraham Davidson (1828 – 9 March 1878) was a British writer and educationalist. He is considered a pioneer in the teaching of techniques for art study. He was also well known as an art lecturer.
Biography
Ellis A. Davidson was born to a Jewish family in Hull, but at the age of ten moved to London, where his father worked as a chiropodist.
He attended the London School of Design and the School of Art in South Kensington, and was one of the first teachers sent into the provinces by the Science and Art Department to establish schools of art. For several years he taught at the Government School of Arts and Crafts in Chester.
In 1866 Davidson was appointed principal art master of the City Middle Class School, a position which he resigned after six years in order to devote himself more completely to his literary career. As a lecturer, he delivered talks to such organisations as the Teachers' Training Association, the Horological Society, the Grenadier Guards, the London Mechanics' Institute, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Jews' College. He also produced a series of models for class teaching of drawing, which were used in government and other schools.
Davidson took an active interest in several communal movements, especially those intended to promote the intellectual development of the adult members of the Jewish industrial classes. He was a committee member for the Association for Providing Free Lectures to Jewish Working Men and Their Families, the Society of Hebrew Literature, the Jewish Association for the Diffusion of Religious Knowledge, and other institutions.

Golden Ears is the name of the double summit that lies north of Maple Ridge, British Columbia and is visible from most of the western Lower Mainland. The mountain is in Golden Ears Provincial Park, and was originally referred to as Golden Eyries, possibly for golden eagles that were observed near the summit. There is confusion about the name, because of the twin summits the peak exhibits. Many people believe that the mountain is named because it looks like ears which become golden in the sunset light.
Naming
The area encompassing Golden Ears, Edge Peak and Blanshard Peak (Blanshard Needle) was originally called The Golden Eyries, and the name was corrupted to Golden Ears. The similarity of the peak of the double summit to cat ears led people to believe that this mountain had the name Golden Ears. In the 1930s or 1940s the government of the day renamed the entire area to Mount Blanshard, and gave Edge Peak its name, named the southernmost summit Blanshard Peak, and conferred the official name Golden Ears to the peak with the twin summit.
Current editions of the NTC map 92G/07 and 92G/08 have the label Mount Blanchard since the Golden Ears group lies on the border between these two maps.
People in the Lower Mainland have always referred to the area, the park and the peak as Golden Ears.

The American Vecturist Association (or AVA) is an organization of transportation token collectors in the United States and Canada, as well as worldwide. Members of the AVA receive the Fare Box, the monthly newsletter of the AVA. The Fare Box contains advertisements, stories, and information about various tokens, as well as resources to buy, sell, and trade tokens. AVA members are also eligible to join the New Issue Service, which mails new transportation tokens to its members for a nominal fee.
History
In 1920, Mr. F.C. Kenworthy began cataloging his transportation token collection. Five years later, Mr. Kenworthy handed his work off to Mr. R.W. Dunn. In 1932 Mr. Dunn printed his list of U.S. and foreign transportation tokens. Shortly after printing, Dr. Dunn passed the task of cataloging transportation tokens off to Ronald C. Atwood. In 1948, Mr. Atwood had his National Check and Premium List of All U.S. Transportation Tokens published by the American Numismatic Company of Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Mr. R.L. Moore began publishing the Fare Box, a monthly newsletter about transportation tokens. On October 31, 1948, the American Vecturist Association was formed in New York City out of interest sparked from Mr. Moore's newsletter. Two months later, Mr. Moore turned over the Fare Box to the newly formed American Vecturist Association. John M. Coffee Jr. (died 2012), a history professor at Emerson College in Boston and Unitarian minister, was the Editor of the Fare Box for 60 years.
Convention
The AVA holds its annual convention in a different U.S. city every August.
The 2022 convention was held August 4-7, 2022 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ames, IA. The 2023 convention was held in Cheyenne, WY., August 3-6, 2023. At the convention, members are able to buy, sell and trade tokens as well as attend the auction and banquet. Plans are being made to hold the 2024 Convention in New Orleans, LA.
Publications
The AVA publishes a number of books, all of which are available at discount prices to AVA members:
Volume I – The Atwood-Coffee Catalogue of United States and Canadian Transportation Tokens, The Listing: (2007; 940 pages, hardbound or loose-leaf): 6th Edition. Complete listing of all known U.S. and Canadian transportation tokens, with collector values.

The Initial proposal was turned down by the Ministry of Finance which recommended strengthening local police or using Bangladesh Ansar.

The force started with 5000 personal deputed from Bangladesh Police and provided special training at the Police Staff College. The formation of the Industrial police resulted in mixed reactions with owners being optimistic while workers were more cautious.
The Industrial police is used to quell labor unrest in the garment industry of Bangladesh. The Unit is led by a Director General from Bangladesh Police. In 2015, Industrial police officer was assassinated at a police check-post in Ashulia by suspected Islamist terrorists.

The 2013 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team represented Texas Tech University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season as members of the Big 12 Conference. Kliff Kingsbury led the Red Raiders in his first season as the program's fifteenth head coach. The Red Raiders played home games on the university's campus in Lubbock, Texas at Jones AT&T Stadium.
At the end of the 2012 regular season, Head coach Tommy Tuberville resigned to take the same position with the Cincinnati Bearcats. Former Red Raider quarterback, Houston Cougars offensive coordinator, and Texas A&M Aggies offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was hired as the new head coach prior to the 2013 season.
Following the conclusion of the regular season, the Associated Press named tight end Jace Amaro, offensive tackle Le'Raven Clark, and linebacker Will Smith to their first team selections. Defensive tackle Kerry Hyder and wide receiver Eric Ward were selected for the second team. Jace Amaro additionally earned Unanimous All-American honors from many organizations and broke the single season tight end receiving yards record in a 37–23 upset over #14 Arizona State in the 2013 Holiday Bowl. Despite having two true freshman quarterbacks start every game, the Red Raiders ended the season as the number-two-ranked passing offense in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) with 392.8 yards per game, just behind Fresno State's 394.8 yards per game.

Texas Tech named walk-on true freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield as the starter at the position, marking the first season opening start by a true freshman in school history and the first walk-on freshman to start a season opener for a BCS team. In the victory, Mayfield completed 43 of 60 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns (to Jordan Davis, Bradley Marquez, Jakeem Grant, and Reginald Davis), and he also ran for a touchdown in the second half. Mayfield's performance came close to breaking the Texas Tech single game freshman passing yard record set by Billy Joe Tolliver, and was only 4 completions away from the NCAA record for single game pass completions by a freshman. Mayfield was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for his performance.
Stephen F. Austin
In the first home game under head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Red Raiders dominated the FCS team from Stephen F. Austin. The start of the game was delayed by lightning in the Lubbock area. Texas Tech ended up with 731 yards of total offense as Baker Mayfield threw for 367 yards before being replaced by Davis Webb in the second half. Mayfield threw touchdown passes to Jakeem Grant, Jace Amaro, and Bradley Marquez, and Kenny Williams added a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes. DeAndre Washington and Quinton White added rushing touchdowns, and Webb threw a TD strike to Reginald Davis for the Red Raiders' final touchdown. Texas Tech broke the student attendance record with 14,915 students, almost half of the school's enrollment.
TCU
In a Thursday night nationally televised game, the 2–0 Red Raiders faced the 1–1 Texas Christian University Horned Frogs in the opening Big 12 game for both schools. Lightning near Jones AT&T Stadium forced a delay in the kickoff for the second straight game. Texas Tech got in the scoring column first with a touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield to Kenny Williams, who took the ball 50 yards down the right sideline for the score. Texas Tech's Ryan Bustin added a 39-yard field goal to make the score 10–0 in the first quarter. Neither team scored in the second quarter. TCU got a field goal in the third quarter, and tied the score midway through the fourth quarter on a touchdown run by B.J. Catalon. An apparent punt return for a touchdown by TCU's Brandon Carter was taken away earlier in the fourth quarter after officials ruled that he had signaled a fair catch on the play. Mayfield suffered a leg injury in the second half, and Davis Webb came in at quarterback for the Red Raiders with the score tied late in the game. Webb threw what looked to be a go-ahead touchdown pass to DeAndre Washington, but officials ruled that Washington dropped the ball just short of the goal line and the touchdown was taken off the scoreboard. Webb then threw a perfect 19-yard touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez to give the Red Raiders a 17–10 lead with 3:48 remaining. Texas Tech's defense forced TCU to punt on their next possession, and the Red Raiders drove into scoring position for Ryan Bustin to add a 37-yard field goal to make the final score 20–10. Mayfield threw for 216 yards before his injury, but was intercepted three times. Jace Amaro caught 9 passes for 97 yards during the Texas Tech victory. A student attendance record of 16,092 was set during the TCU game, breaking the record of 14,915 set just one week earlier, with an overall attendance of 58,701 for the game. Texas Tech made its debut into the Associated Press Top 25 following the win over the Horned Frogs, who were playing with star defensive end Devonte Fields, who had been suspended for parts of the first two games.
Texas State
The Red Raiders brought a 3–0 record and #25 AP ranking into their home game against Texas State, but the Texas Tech offensive struggled early against the Bobcats. The Red Raiders got a pair of field goals by Ryan Bustin in the first half, along with a defensive touchdown from linebacker Will Smith, as they took a 13–0 halftime lead. Smith's touchdown came on a 9-yard fumble return, with the fumble caused by defensive lineman Kerry Hyder. Texas State pulled within 13–7 early in the third quarter, and the Bobcats came close to recovering an onside kick afterward. Davis Webb then threw a touchdown pass to Eric Ward to make the score 20–7. Texas Tech pulled away in the fourth quarter, with Webb throwing another touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez. Webb and Baker Mayfield both played at quarterback for the Red Raiders, with Mayfield starting the game before being replaced by Webb in the second quarter.
At Kansas
The Texas Tech Red Raiders improved to 5–0 for the first time since 2008 with their rout of the Kansas Jayhawks, who lost their 22nd straight Big 12 game. The Jayhawks took a 10–0 lead after the first quarter, with the Red Raiders unable to get on the scoreboard until Ryan Bustin's 23-yard field goal early in the second quarter. The Red Raiders finally got rolling after that, however, scoring on a Kenny Williams touchdown run and a 19-yard touchdown run by Baker Mayfield, along with another field goal from Bustin, to make the halftime score 20–10. The Red Raiders got a pair of touchdown runs from DeAndre Washington in the third quarter, but starting quarterback Baker Mayfield was forced to leave the game in the third quarter with an injury. Backup quarterback Davis Webb tossed a pair of fourth quarter touchdown passes to senior Eric Ward and freshman Dylan Cantrell as the Red Raiders ended up posting 54 straight points, before the Jayhawks finally scored late in the game to break Texas Tech's scoring streak. Mayfield completed 33 of 51 passes for 368 yards before suffering the leg injury. With the win, the Red Raiders improved to 14–1 all time against the Jayhawks, and the Red Raiders moved up to #20 in the AP rankings.
Iowa State
The 5–0 Red Raiders returned home for a Big 12 contest against the Iowa State Cyclones, which came into the game with a 1–3 record and an 0–1 record in conference play. Texas Tech freshman quarterback Davis Webb started his first game as a Red Raider, throwing for 415 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. The game was close through the first three quarters, with Texas Tech opening the game with a touchdown pass from Webb to Jakeem Grant on the Red Raiders' first possession. However, the Cyclones scored on a 95-yard kickoff return to tie the score early in the first quarter. Webb threw a touchdown pass to Eric Ward, and Kenny Williams scored on a 1-yard touchdown run as Texas Tech and Iowa State went into halftime tied 21–21. Webb connected with Bradley Marquez on a 12-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, which ended with Texas Tech leading 28–21. DeAndre Washington and SaDale Foster had touchdown runs in the fourth quarter as Texas Tech held on for the victory, although the Red Raiders had to recover an ISU onside kick attempt with just under two minutes remaining to secure the victory. In the game, the Red Raiders lost two fumbles and threw one interception, while failing to force any turnovers on defense. Texas Tech ended up with 666 yards of total offense to just 311 for Iowa State, with the turnovers helping Iowa State to keep the game close.
At West Virginia
Undefeated and ranked #16 by the Associated Press, the Red Raiders traveled to Morgantown to face 3–3 West Virginia. The matchup was a reunion of sorts, as West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen was an assistant at Texas Tech from 2000 to 2007, during the quarterback tenure of Kliff Kingsbury (1999–2002). The Red Raiders got out to a quick 13–0 lead, with a pair of field goals by Ryan Bustin and a 10-yard touchdown pass from Davis Webb to Jace Amaro. The Mountaineers then went on a 27–3 scoring run, taking a 27–16 lead in the third quarter. Texas Tech faced a crucial third down play in the third quarter at the West Virginia 43-yard line, and Webb connected with Jace Amaro for a 32-yard gain to put Texas Tech deep in Mountaineer territory. Kenny Williams completed the drive with a touchdown run to pull Texas Tech to within 27–23. Texas Tech took the lead in the fourth quarter on another touchdown run by Kenny Williams, and the Red Raiders extended their lead to 37–27 on a touchdown pass from Webb to Amaro on their final possession to put the game away. Webb ended up breaking Texas Tech's freshman passing record for a single game with 462 yards, hitting 36 of 50 passes for two touchdowns and no interceptions. Texas Tech's defense totally shut down the Mountaineer offense in the fourth quarter, forcing the Mountaineers to punt on four straight possessions in the second half. After starting the season 7–0, this would be the last game the Red Raiders would win in the 2013 regular season. After their win, this would be the highest rank for Texas Tech in the 2013 season at #10 in both the AP and BCS overall standings and #9 in the USA Today coaches poll.
At Oklahoma
This was the first ranked team Texas Tech played since facing the TCU Horned Frogs in week 3. The Red Raiders jumped out in front 7–0 on a trick play pass from Kenny Williams to Eric Ward, but Tech was denied another scoring chance in the first quarter on a controversial offensive pass interference call against Jakeem Grant. Tech fell behind 21–7, but stormed back to lead 24–21 late in through the third quarter. Davis Webb threw third-quarter touchdown passes to Eric Ward and Jakeem Grant as Tech took the lead with 3:08 left in the third quarter. However, the Sooners took advantage of three Tech turnovers to pull away for the win. Webb completed 33 of 53 passes for 385 yards, but with two interceptions. With the loss, the Red Raiders' season record fell to 7–1 and they dropped to #15 in the BCS rankings.
Oklahoma State
The Red Raiders were looking to bounce back after their first loss of the 2013 season in the previous week to OU. The Red Raiders hosted the OSU Cowboys and experienced a dismal first quarter, with OSU leading 21–3. The Red Raiders came back in the 2nd quarter to make the game close at halftime. Pete Robertson returned an interception 21 yards for a touchdown, and Eric Ward pulled in a 38-yard touchdown pass. The Raiders scored on a 2-yard touchdown run by Kenny Williams to trail 28–24 going into halftime. The Red Raiders experienced a dismal second half offensively and defensively, scoring only on a short touchdown pass from Davis Webb to Jace Amaro and on a Ryan Bustin field goal. With their second consecutive loss, the Red Raiders dropped to #25 in the AP polls.
Kansas State
After losing to unranked Kansas State, Texas Tech fell out of the BCS rankings and dropped to 7–3.
vs. Baylor
The Baylor Bears and the Texas Tech Red Raiders met at the mutual site of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Texas
With the loss, the Red Raiders fell to 7–5, losing 5 in a row.
vs. Arizona State (Holiday Bowl)
After losing their last five games of the regular season, the Red Raiders were expected to lose to the Sun Devils. ESPN broadcasts during 2013 bowl games included a prediction that Texas Tech would lose by 22 points, based on computer models. Las Vegas odds makers also favored an Arizona State victory by a line of up to 14 points. In an unexpected turn, Texas Tech got the upset and won their first game since October 19 against West Virginia. Davis Webb threw for 403 yards and tied the Holiday Bowl record with four touchdown passes.
The Red Raiders opened the scoring on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Webb to Rodney Hall on their first possession, capping a 77-yard drive. It was Hall's first catch of the year from his fullback position. Webb also threw two first-half touchdown passes to Jakeem Grant and a touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez as the Red Raiders opened a 27–13 halftime lead. The Sun Devils scored on their opening possession of the second half to pull within one touchdown at 27–20, but the Red Raiders struck back immediately when freshman Reginald Davis ran back the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. Ryan Bustin's 23-yard field goal late in the third quarter extended Texas Tech's lead to 37–20. Arizona State added a field goal in the fourth quarter to make it 37–23, but Texas Tech cornerback Justis Nelson intercepted a Sun Devil pass late in the quarter to end Arizona State's final scoring threat.
The Red Raiders finished their 2013 season with an 8–5 record.

Green Airlines was a German virtual airline company based at Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport.
History
The company was established in October 2020. The virtual airline's flights were originally planned to be operated by Danish Alsie Express while later French Chalair Aviation stepped in.
Green Airlines then announced contracts with Bulgarian ALK Airlines and Romanian Just Us Air to operate their seasonal leisure services from Rostock and Paderborn. In June 2021, Green Airlines also announced the launch of five leisure destinations from Groningen Airport in the Netherlands. They also started to serve Zurich Airport. However, in July 2021, Green Airlines announced the suspension of all international flights including leisure charters stating the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual airline then also planned to acquire its own operations license.
In August 2021, a dispute between Green Airlines and another current wetlease contractor, German Airways, has been reported resulting in the termination of their agreement. A few weeks prior, ALK Airlines also pulled out of their mutual affiliation bringing back Chalair Aviation to operate the currently remaining German domestic flights. Shortly after, German Airways sued Green Airlines for up to 11 million € for alleged breach of contract. Also in August 2021, Green Airlines has been accused of greenwashing after indiscrepancies arose regarding their supposedly supported ecological projects and organizations.
In October 2021, Green Airlines announced it would start domestic operations from Weeze Airport and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport in 2022. However, in November 2021, Green Airlines announced it would pause all flight activities until February 2022. The new routes were then rescheduled to late March 2022 or in the case of the Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden services without a new date announcement. This sparked controversy as both Berlin and Munich airports confirmed that neither Green Airlines nor another operating carrier of their behalf requested the necessary slots for the routes as of late January.
After cancelling several scheduled inaugural flights for their expanded network, Green Airlines commenced one of their new services in April 2022 with a Cessna Caravan instead of the planned ATR 72 due to lower than expected passenger numbers.
On 6 April 2022, Green Airlines announced the termination of all scheduled and charter operations with immediate effect stating an unviable business case for the time being.
In May 2022, German environmental protection NGO Deutsche Umwelthilfe announced it would sue Green Airlines over claims the company misled passengers over its -compensation efforts.
Destinations
As of April 2022, prior to the suspension of all services, Green Airlines served the following - partially seasonal - destinations:
Germany
Berlin - Berlin Brandenburg Airport
Munich - Munich Airport
Paderborn - Paderborn Lippstadt Airport
Sylt - Sylt Airport
Usedom - Usedom Airport
Weeze - Weeze Airport
Fleet
As of August 2021, Green Airlines' flights are operated by the following contracted aircraft:
ATR 42
ATR 72

Dr. Seuss's ABC, otherwise referred to as The ABC, is a 1963 English language alphabet book written by Dr. Seuss starring two anthropomorphic yellow dogs named Ichabod and Izzy as they journey through the alphabet and meet characters whose names begin with each letter. It was read as an audiobook by British comedian Rik Mayall as part of the 2000 audio release The Dr Seuss Collection.
Publication history
Dr. Seuss drew inspiration from memories of his mother, Nettie Geisel, who read stories to Ted and his sister, Marnie Geisel, at bedtime. He and Marnie also took piano lessons. Marnie practiced daily while he could be bribed with books. Whenever he did well, she took him to Johnson’s Book Store and let him choose a book as a reward. Dr. Seuss's ABC was published as a Beginner Book in 1963, alongside Hop on Pop.
Reception
Peter Lewis, writing for Common Sense Media, gave the book positive reviews, stating "Dr. Seuss turns the alphabet from fifty-two shapes and twenty-six sounds one has to memorize into an exercise in rhymery and wordplay. Uppercase and lowercase letters are taken for a spirited airing, matched with an apt selection of fun words, all set in the suitably absurd world of Seuss characters and creatures". He also compared the book to Dr. Seuss ("Seuss, faithful to his mission, entertainingly and effectively delivers the educational goods -- in this case, the alphabet. The letters each take a turn in the spotlight and then are wedded to a few well-chosen words that convey the Seuss worldview of the high humor to be found in mental play: 'Many mumbling mice are making midnight music in the moonlight ... mighty nice.'") Peter Lewis commented that Dr. Seuss's illustrations "are all about possibility -- quacking quacker-oo, policeman in a pail, ten tired turtles on a tuttle-tuttle tree -- that same sense rubs off on the letters: Here, take these letters, they're fun! Rub 'em together and see what you come up with. There is no better way to take the anxiety out of something than to make friends with it." The other good review was "Families can talk about letters and the sounds they make. Think of words that start with the same letter sound -- see how many you can string together in a silly sentence or phrase."
Sam Tyler, writing for The Bookbag, called it "a hard book to consider as it is great fun, but also a little maddening". He also stated that "The ABC book is something that toddlers will use early on as a foundation to build later reading on. If they can learn their alphabet, they can develop their words. Most ABCs are super simple with easy to understand and recognise objects representing the letter. This is not that book. Seuss plucked ideas from his books and imagination and threw them onto the page. This means that this ABC outing is more varied and fun than most, but it also a little difficult to follow?"
In the essay "In O Is for" Mouse": First Encounters with the Alphabet Book", Laura B. Smolkin and David B. Yaden, Jr. compared the book to another alphabet book, A is for Angry by Sandra Boynton, stating in the book, "there are frequent changes in the color and size of the letters from page to page."
The Washington Post called it one of "the best-selling Dr. Seuss books of all time".
In From A to Z: An Exhibition of ABC Books Selected from the John O.C. McCrillis Collection by Alesandra M. Schmidt, she references "Ten tired turtles on a tuttle-tuttle tree" in Case 8, stating, while comparing the book to Apricot ABC by Miska Miles, "Ecolological awareness of the 1960s is evident in the imaginative story of an apricot that falls to the ground in a meadow (#48). Bees, birds, and flowers discover the apricot, which finally is eaten to its seed by a chicken and, eventually, becomes a new, young apricot tree. Another kind of tree is seen in Dr. Seuss's alphabet book (#45)--the "tuttle-tuttle tree," for "ten tired turtles."
Adaptations
In the CD-ROM game by Living Books, Ichabod and Izzy appear on every page and they find out more things that also begin with each letter.
This book has an iOS and Android app by Oceanhouse Media.
In the 2008 American computer animated adventure comedy film Horton Hears a Who!, yaks (which resembled the Yawning Yellow Yak, including Katie (voiced by Joey King), appear as residents of The Jungle of Nool.
An augmented reality app version of the book was created by Sugar Creative.
At The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum, The Readingville Exhibit houses The ABC Wall, an interactive larger-than-life wall version of Dr. Seuss’s ABC, which allowed children to touch various letters, hear the phonetic sound of the letter being pressed, and see the artwork from the book appear on the wall with the associated text below.
In Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, James N. Kirkpatrick, MD, director of the Echocardiography Laboratory at the UW Medical Center and associate professor of medicine, uses the letters E for Echocardiography, S for Sinister structural shortcomings, and C for Congestive heart failure from the book in ABCD's of Heart Failure: Echo-ing through the First Stage to outline the stages of heart failure, stating, "In his insightful and witty educational offering, Dr. Seuss’s ABC, Theodor Seuss Geisel 1 poses the intriguing rhetorical question “Big A, little a, what begins with A?” He might have answered, “An amalgamated assemblage of advancing ailments affecting the heart” (it works better if you consider the h to be silent.) Dr. Seuss contributed much to world literature but missed the opportunity to create a classification of cardiac conditions".

It was here that Razia Sultan, the first woman to take charge of the Delhi throne was incarcerated upon her defeat and dethroned. The bricks of the fort date back to the Kushana period when emperor Kanishka ruled over Northern India/Bactria. Raja Dab, along with emperor Kanishka, is believed to have built the fort. Qila Mubarak in latter part of the 10th Century was under the rule of Jayapala, a ruler of the Hindu Shahi dynasty.
Architecture
The Imperial Gazetteer of India describes the fort having 36 bastions and a height of about 118 ft. It was a conspicuous landmark for many miles around.
History
Quila Mubarak Bathinda was constructed by Raja Dab during the period 90-110 AD. Raja Dab was the ancestor of Vena Pal. The bricks used to construct the fort dates back to the Kushana Period. The fort was constructed by the king so that Huns could not invade the kingdom of Emperor Kanishka. In the later years, the fort has undergone various types of alteration done by the rulers of the area. Razia Sultana, the first Empress of Delhi had been imprisoned in Quila Mubarak. Hindu chronicles of Kashmir described it as Jaipal's capital, and say it was captured by Mahmud of Ghazni. Bhatinda appears in the works of the historians from early Muhammadan period as Batrinda, often incorrectly converted into Tabarhind. The fortress was enhanced many times under the rule of the Mughal Empire, especially under the energetic Mughal Emperor Akbar. About 1754 Maharaja Ala Singh of Patiala state conquered Bhatinda.
Fort repairs
Currently, a team working with the Akal Society of America, after conducting an extensive two year survey of the site has submitted a proposal of repairs to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The proposed repair work will be funded by external funds provided by the ASA though the former Chief Minister, Captain Amarinder Singh, announced a government contribution of Rs. 12,500,000 (US$275,000) for Qila Mubarak's repair on 21 June 2005 at a ceremony held to mark the tercentenary celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh's visit to the fort. While awaiting final approval (which has been granted on the state level in Punjab, but not yet by the ASI), minor internal repairs are in progress at a slow pace. As on 20-02-2011, the fort is closed for repair work. While visiting it is advised to check beforehand.
This fort is extra ordinary in its exitance, currently under Archaeological survey of India. The repair work has been finished and the fort is now there to welcome tourists.
When Babur came in India for the first time, he came here with cannons. Four of them are here in this fort that are made up of an alloy of silver, gold, copper and iron.

Macrovipera lebetinus transmediterranea is a viper subspecies endemic to North Africa. Like all other vipers, it is venomous.
Description
This subspecies is not known to exceed in total length (body + tail). It is further distinguished by having only 25 midbody dorsal scale rows, a lower ventral scale count of 150-164 scales, and more fragmented head scales. The color pattern is light gray with 34-41 dark transverse bars which are each 2-3 scales wide.
Geographic range
It is found only in North Africa, where it is restricted to the coastal mountains of Algeria and Tunis. One of the few specific localities where it is known to occur is Djebel Murdjaro near Oran in western Algeria. This subspecies may be sympatric with M. deserti and/or D. mauritanica.

* \brief A hyperplane
*
* A hyperplane is an affine subspace of dimension n-1 in a space of dimension n.
* For example, a hyperplane in a plane is a line; a hyperplane in 3-space is a plane.
*
* \tparam _Scalar the scalar type, i.e., the type of the coefficients
* \tparam _AmbientDim the dimension of the ambient space, can be a compile time value or Dynamic.
* Notice that the dimension of the hyperplane is _AmbientDim-1.
*
* This class represents an hyperplane as the zero set of the implicit equation
* \f$ n \cdot x + d = 0 \f$ where \f$ n \f$ is a unit normal vector of the plane (linear part)
* and \f$ d \f$ is the distance (offset) to the origin.

Fellhanera robusta is a species of crustose lichen in the family Pilocarpaceae. Found in Australia, it was described as a new species in 2017 by lichenologists John Elix and Patrick McCarthy. The type specimen was collected from a vertical shale cliff in Callala Bay (Jervis Bay, New South Wales). This location receives sea spray as well as surface runoff from above, and maintains a diverse lichen flora that contrasts with the absence of lichens in the surrounding shore area.
The thick, whitish lichen thallus of Fellhanera robusta forms irregularly shaped discs measuring up to in diameter. The authors describe it as "variously verrucose, bullate or contorted" and "irregularly cerebriform"; its specific epithet alludes to its unusual form. The lichen contains the secondary chemicals atranorin and norgangaleoidin. Its ascospores measure 8–15 by 3.5–7 μm.
A lookalike species, Fellhanera incolorata, grows on mangrove bark in southern New South Wales. In addition to the different habitat, it can be distinguished from F. robusta by differences in the thickness and form of its thallus, in secondary chemistry (F. incolorata contains atranorin and thuringione), and in spore size.

Miles MacDonell ( – 28 June 1828) was the first governor of the Red River Colony (or, Assiniboia), a 19th-century Scottish settlement located in present-day Manitoba and North Dakota.
Miles Macdonell Collegiate, opened in 1952, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was named in his honour.
Biography
He was born in Inverness, Scotland, around 1767. In 1773, his father, Colonel John MacDonell of Scothouse (Spanish John), Inverness-shire, and three of his cousins chartered the Pearl and brought over five hundred of their families and friends, at the invitation of Sir William Johnson, and settled at Caughnawaga, on the Mohawk River, in the Province of New York.
Miles, who showed military tendencies at an early age, was appointed ensign in the King's Royal Regiment of New York in 1792, lieutenant in the Royal Canadian volunteers in 1794, and captain in the same corps in 1796. At the request of Lord Selkirk, he came to London in 1803, and was induced by that nobleman to assume the post of governor of Selkirk's planned colony on the Red River in the Northwest territory. Selkirk, a shareholder in the Hudson's Bay Company, had bought 300,000 km² (116,000 mi²) of land in the Red River Valley from the company in order to provide a home in the New World for destitute Scots and to deny the land to Hudson's Bay's commercial rival, the North West Company.
Macdonell collected the first body of colonists, composed principally of evicted Scottish Highlanders from the Sutherland estates, in 1812. He sailed from Stornoway for the colony in 1811. The group wintered at York Factory, and reached the Red River the following August. On his arrival, he was at once met with opposition from the agents of the North West Company, whose headquarters were at Montreal. On 11 June 1815, representatives of the North West Company attacked and fired upon the colonists, and demanded the surrender of Governor Macdonell, who, to avoid the loss of blood, gave himself up voluntarily. He was taken to Montreal as a prisoner, and charges were laid against him by his enemies, but his case was not tried. During his ten or twelve years' connection with the Red River Colony, he was its leading spirit and took an active and decided part in the feuds of the Hudson's Bay Company and North West trading companies, after which he returned to his farm at Osnabruck, Upper Canada.
Historians have generally agreed that, despite the inherent difficulties of establishing a colony at the Red River amid the fierce competition between the fur-trading companies, Macdonell must bear some of the responsibility for the colony’s initial failure. They have focused upon his character faults, his inability to inspire trust and loyalty among his people, his obstinacy, his arrogance, his unaccommodating temper, and his lack of staying power. It was these flaws, as well as his lack of shrewdness and diplomatic skill, that led to his failures. Either he never understood his situation, or worse, refused to come to grips with it. Nowhere is this better shown than in the decision to issue the Pemmican Proclamation. It was promulgated at a time when the colony was too weak to defend itself and it offered the NWC excellent propaganda against both the HBC and Lord Selkirk. His behaviour during those years suggests that he saw the colony as entirely separate from the fur trade but his point of view does not excuse an insensitivity that blinded him to the provocative nature of his actions. Through a similar blindness he alienated his own people, seeking out the company of "gentlemen" in preference to theirs.
In later years, he lived at the residence of his brother John at Pointe-Fortune on the Ottawa River where he died in 1828.

The John Dickinson School, previously known as John Dickinson High School, is a public high school in the Pike Creek area of Wilmington, Delaware. It is one of five high schools in the Red Clay Consolidated School District and serves parts of Newport, Stanton, Hockessin, Wilmington, North Star, Pike Creek, Pike Creek Valley, Baynard Boulevard, and Brandywine Village.
History
The school, opened 1960, is located on a campus and takes its name from John Dickinson, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. It was originally in the Henry C. Conrad School District and was moved first to the New Castle County Consolidated School District in 1978, then to the Red Clay Consolidated School District in 1981. In January 1995, an arson fire destroyed substantial parts of the building, so much so that did not reopen fully until September; students had to attend nearby McKean High School in staggered schedules until portions of Dickinson were opened again in March.
In 2013, Dickinson students broke the Guinness World Record for highest Lego tower ever built at 112 feet. Their record was beat the following year by a 114 foot tower in Budapest.
Academics
Dickinson offers IB, AP, honors, college-preparatory, and dual-enrollment classes. As part of Delaware's initiative to inject more intensive career readiness into its high schools, Dickinson offers the following Pathways: automotive technology, AVID, computer science, digital communication arts, drafting and design, engineering of structures, engineering of robotics, graphic design, Jobs for Delaware Graduates, processes of design and engineering, and renovation and construction. Students have the opportunity to earn certifications and licenses such as the Delaware Certificate of Multiliteracy, EPA Certificate, IB Diploma, National Lead Safety for Renovation and Painting Certificate, and/or National OSHA Certificate.
For the 2018-2019 academic year, the graduation rate was 78%.
Activities
Athletics
Dickinson is part of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association and competes in Blue Hen Conference, Flight "B".
Performing arts
Dickinson has not had a marching or pep band since 2017.
Theatre organ
Dickinson's auditorium is home to a Kimball pipe organ said to be the fourth largest theatre organ in the world. The organ was moved from the Boyd Theater in Philadelphia in 1969 and has more than 5,000 pipes, purportedly more than the organ at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
In addition to hosting concerts by virtuoso guest organists and instrumental ensembles, Dickinson's organ was featured on an album by organist Jelani Eddington in 2014.

Longhi () is an Italian surname of ancient origin, initially spelled as Longo (), of which Longhi is plural. Some groups gained great power in the Middle Ages and into the modern era, holding dozens of titles of nobility and vast estates in north-central Italy. The surname appears in many dialectal variants, such as Longis, Longoni, Longa, Longhù, Longi, Longu and others. In addition to the Longus, the plural Longi is usually found in Latin texts. However, since in Italian means "long", "tall", "ancient" or "long", and is a word of common usage, it is likely that many of the numerous groups scattered throughout Italy had independent origins.
Ancient Rome
The word appeared as a denominator of persons since Ancient Rome, arising in a branch of the Sempronia gens, the Long Semprons. Two of their representatives were consuls, the highest magistracy in the period of the Roman Republic, cited by Livy, Tacitus, and Polybius.
Another gens also used the Longo name in Rome, the Atilia gens, which had 19 consuls as well as patrician and plebeian branches. Athilius, one of the first three consular tribunes, elected in 444 B.C., Sulpitius and Duilio, who held the same office respectively in 390 and 339 B.C., are notable individuals. Mussidius Longo, proconsul, issued several coins soon after Julius Caesar's death. In the time of Mark Antony, Julius Longo issued coins. Lucilius, a senator, was a close friend of Tiberius () and accompanied him in his exile. The Atilia gens flourished at least until the second century.
In the Middle Ages, the surname appears in various parts of Italy, however, without any assured connection between them.
Venice
According to tradition, at the decay of the Roman Empire, Luca Longo, magister equitum, of obscure origin, in the year 560, began to connect the islands of Venice with bridges, erecting buildings and temples, but his tracks were subsequently lost, although it is claimed that he was the origin of some tribunes and then of a patrician lineage. There is no documentary proof, being likely an onomastic coincidence that the next people who appear, five centuries later, are effectively in the patriciate.
In Venice, they reappeared in 1053, when Ursa, widow of Petrus Longus, donated a vineyard to the Dominicans on the island of Chioggia. In the 12th century, Jacopo is mentioned as admiral, a position traditionally attributed to the patriciate, and Benedict, Dominic, and John appear signing state documents together with other patricians and the doge. In 1268, Gerard was the supreme commander of the armies of the city, and in 1272 he was part of the embassy sent to Bologna. They were excluded from the patriciate in 1297, being reinstated in 1380 in recognition of their contribution to the war against Genoa, and confirmed as nobles in the 19th century.
In the 16th century, the patricians Francesco and his son Antonio were on the Council of Ten; the son left an important account of the war against the Turks, and a grandson was a secret counselor. Several others became known as warriors, writers, clerks, politicians. Many were podestà in Venetian cities and territories, such as Taddeo, Francesco, Antonio, Claudio, Vincenzo, and Nicolò; podestàs of Vicenza, Verona, Brescia,Martinengo, the Imagna valley, the Seriana valley, and Asola. In Venice, of note is also Laura, a "virtuous lady" and wife of the powerful Bergamo nobleman Gian Girolamo Albani, an official in Venice and cardinal after he became a widower. She descended from Abbondio Longhi, lord of the Castle of Urgnano and secretary to Bartolomeo Colleoni, celebrated condottiero.
Brescia
The most notable medieval group is that formed by the Ugoni-Longhi counts or Ugonidi. Tradition claims they descended from the Long Semprons of Ancient Rome, but there is no documentary proof.
According to Marchetti-Longhi, this is "an ancient feudal family of Lombard origin, scattered in Lombardy, Liguria, and Veneto, and then rooted also in Rome. [...] The origin of these counts is rather obscure and controversial, but they claimed to have been invested of the County of Brescia at the end of 974 by Otto II." Their most immediate roots probably lie in Ugo, who in 1085 inherited the County of Sabioneta from his father, Boson II, and pass his name onto his offspring. His wife was Matilde, daughter of the counts Arduini of Parma. The first record of the surname in this region, dated 1167, cites Narisio, Vizzolo, and Azzo Longhi as counts of Montichiari, Asola, and Mosio. The testimonies of Andrione of Redondesco, along with others in a court case of 1228, confirm the consanguinity of the Longhi with the Ugonids:
However, the links of this connection are not cited: The documentation on the Ugonids, in general, is poor and unclear, and there are several hypotheses circulating about the origin and descent of this strain, very branched and associated with many other important Houses, which flourished with great power between the 10th and 12th centuries but almost always involved in disputes, wars and exchanges of territories. They incorporated several other count titles, such as Desenzano, Marcaria, Bizzolano, Redondesco, Casaloldo, San Martino Gusnago, Ceresino, and Belforte, among several other fiefs, which formed a vast latifundium. They founded a monastery and owned several castles, some of which still exist.
A rare case in the world of medieval nobility, the Longhi appear at a very early date already established with a surname that is not derived from a toponym. However, soon some branches, to differentiate themselves, returned to the ancient practice of adopting the name of the localities where they had fiefdoms, following the example of the Casalodi (or Casaloldi), possibly the most powerful of all these derivative branches.
The Ugonids, in the 13th century, facing the communes that were strengthening and fighting the power of the feudal lords, were deprived of numerous fiefs and castles and ended up banished from several cities, such as Brescia and Mantua, their main strongholds, and headquarters of some of the most important branches. They took refuge in the surrounding area and sought new alliances with the counts of Plasencia and Verona, the Palatine counts of Lomello, and the Obertenghi marquises. From there a dispersion began, "some retaining, others losing feudal titles and power, but always retaining their gentile name and the memory of their common origin in the fundamental identity of their family: The rampant lion", as Marchetti pointed out. Even before the decay, it had been a clan with a strong expansionist policy. They radiated westward as far as Bergamo, where the family gained power, especially after William of Longis, previously chancellor to the king of Naples, was appointed cardinal by Celestine V. The family's power was to be exercised by the king of Naples.
There some adopted the name Alessandri, founding a branch that produced several notables, and others reached the region of Genoa, where William was consul and became one of the ancestors of the Giustiniani. Later, Filippo, consul, gave rise to the Gialongo branch. In Genoa, the Longhi produced several personalities, advisors, ambassadors, and officials, including three dogi, the head of state: Giannandrea, Alessandro, and Luca Giustiniani Longo. Luca was also king of Corsica, a title associated with the Genoese doge. To the east, they went as far as Trento, Venice, and beyond, and to the south, they advanced as far as Parma, Bologna, Rome, Florence, and many other cities.
Marco Tulio was the brother of Cardinal William of Longis and custodian of Clement V, castellan of Fumone, and the origin of the marquises Longhi of Paolis, who survive to this day. One of his sons was a knight of the Order of the Golden Spur. In 1586, Giovanni Longhi, also an Ugonidi descendant, was admitted to the patriciate of Rome. There the Longhi flourished - and are likely to be all from the same branch - with a few individuals with no clear connection. The Longhi were admitted to the Order of Malta in 1587, and produced two beatified, Fillipo and Bartolo. They maintained kinship relations with numerous other less significant families of the Italian nobility, such as the Bellarmino, Malatesta, Caetani, Vitelleschi, Tebaldeschi, Bosone, Forteguerra, and Brancaccio.
Other groups
Other groups appeared in Sicily, the kingdom of Naples, and the far south of Italy, but they are likely independent branches, although Lellis attributes to the Neapolitan branch (the main one) the same Roman origin derived from the Sempronios Longos, based on tradition. They produced notaries, judges, councilors, and other dignitaries, such as Filippo, knight of Malta in 1453, and Annamaria, founder of the Hospital of the Incurables in Naples.
Many other members were notable elsewhere, such as Pietro, podestà of Treviglio; Gerard was the supreme commander of the army of Rimini; William, first squire of the king of Savoy and secret chamberlain of Pius V; Bartholomew, adviser to Alfonso I of Aragon; Albert, master of Pope Innocent III and bishop of Anagni. They also emerged as renowned artists, literati, politicians, and other experts, and four Longhi stood out as architects in the Renaissance: Alessio, Martino Longhi the Elder, Onorio Longhi, and Martino Longhi the Younger.
Modernity
In the 15th and 17th centuries, the Italian Longhi population was already numerous and the relations of consanguinity between the various groups, if they existed, are obscure, although some families, such as the aforementioned Ugonidi, have generated vast descendants. Many groups are still noble, recognized in Naples, Palermo, Vicenza, Seggio, Parma, Salerno, Rimini, Messina, Faenza, Trieste, Todi, Ravello, Como, Taormina, Milan, Mantua, Lecco, Cremona, Casale, Siena, Benevento, Turin, Trento, Nola, among other places. They received many fiefs, coats of arms and titles, among them those of hereditary knights; lords and marquises of Monforte; co-gentlemen of Ceresole; lords of Betta dal Toldo and Val di Rabbi; castellans (barons) of Castronuovo, Fiumetorto and Racalxacca; counts of Urgnano, Lomello and Torre Longhi; marquises of San Giuliano, Casentino and Vinchiaturo; barons and marquises of San Lorenzo del Vallo; besides producing bishops, archbishops, legates and pontifical governors and other prelates, ambassadors, officers, and communal syndics,
In the 18th century, records of Longhis without any indication of nobility began to multiply. Although many formerly noble branches ended up impoverished and thereby lost their original status, there are many others of popular origin, which took their name, for example, from the physical characteristics of their founders, who may have been unusually tall and thin men, or who reached very old age, two of the possible meanings of the word lungo. This form of surname adoption was frequent in Europe until recently.
Many Longhis emigrated to America during the 19th century, fleeing the great crisis that Italy was going through, between wars, famines, and devastation. In the 20th century, there were many other Longhi in evidence, such as Aleandro, senator; the Longhi marquises of Paolis de Fumone, who still live in one of Italy's most important medieval castles, partially museumized; Roberto Longhi, influential historian and art critic, grand officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic and now the name of an important cultural foundation, and the De' Longhi branch, owner of the eponymous group, industrial magnates with 1.6 billion euros in revenue in 2013.

William Maw Egley (1826 in London – 20 February 1916) was an English artist of the Victorian era. The son of the miniaturist William Egley, he studied under his father. His early works were illustrations of literary subjects typical of the period, such as Prospero and Miranda from The Tempest. These were similar to the work of The Clique. William Powell Frith, one of The Clique, hired Egley to add backgrounds to his own work. Egley soon developed a style influenced by Frith, including domestic and childhood subjects. Most of his paintings were humorous or "feelgood" genre scenes of urban and rural life, depicting such subjects as harvest festivals and contemporary fashions. His best-known painting, Omnibus Life in London (Tate Gallery), is a comic scene of people squashed together in the busy, cramped public transport of the era.
Egley always showed great interest in specifics of costume, to which he paid detailed attention, but his paintings were often criticised for their hard, clumsy style.
In the 1860s, Egley adopted the fashion for romanticised 18th-century subjects. Though he produced a very large number of reliably salable paintings, his work was never critically admired.

Red Rock Township is a township in Mower County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 715 at the 2000 census. The largest town in the township is Brownsdale with a population of 718 people. All other area in the township is unincorporated. The township is named for a large, red rock in section 4.
History
In 1855 John L. Johnson came to the township from Wisconsin and built a sod shanty in a grove of trees in section 4 that had a large, red rock in it. This grove eventually became known as Red Rock Grove and later the whole township took its name from this area. The rock can still be seen in section 5 (about 1.5 miles northwest of Brownsdale) in the southeast corner of the land owned by Craig Bauman. The area of Red Rock Township around the town of Brownsdale was the source of much of the lumber which helped to build Mower County. Most of the wooded sections of the township were logged in the 1850s and 1860s and much that wood was cut in Brownsdale's steam-powered sawmill, one of the town's first permanent structures. The township is now largely treeless, with the only significant stands being along Roberts Creek and Dobbins Creek.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 35.4 square miles (91.7 km), all land.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 715 people, 271 households, and 215 families residing in the township. The population density was 20.2 people per square mile (7.8/km). There were 286 housing units at an average density of 8.1/sq mi (3.1/km). The racial makeup of the township was 99.58% White, 0.14% African American, 0.14% Native American, and 0.14% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.84% of the population.
There were 271 households, out of which 32.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 74.2% were married couples living together, 3.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 20.3% were non-families. 15.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.64 and the average family size was 2.96.
In the township the population was spread out, with 24.8% under the age of 18, 5.6% from 18 to 24, 25.9% from 25 to 44, 29.7% from 45 to 64, and 14.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years. For every 100 females, there were 106.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 102.3 males.
The median income for a household in the township was $50,455, and the median income for a family was $55,833. Males had a median income of $37,656 versus $29,792 for females. The per capita income for the township was $19,519. About 0.9% of families and 1.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including none of those under age 18 and 8.3% of those age 65 or over.

Augacephalus is a genus of harpacterine theraphosid spiders. It has three species, all of which are found in Africa.
Taxonomy and etymology
The type species of Augacephalus is A. breyeri which was described as Pterinochilus breyeri by Hewitt in 1919. In 2002, Gallon placed it a new genus, which he erected in the same paper, Augacephalus.
Its name comes from the Greek αυγή auga meaning "sun rays" and κεφᾰλή kephale meaning "head" which refers to the prominent, radial cephalothorax striae present in most species.
Natural history
All known species are fossorial and females lay eggs in a hammock egg-sack which yield about 95 spiderlings.
Diagnosis
Augacephalus is separated from other harpactirines in the following ways: Distinguished from Harpactirella by the presence of a retrolateral cheliceral scopula composed of plumose setae (in males scopula not obviously composed of plumose setae). Separated from Harpactira and Trichognatha by the absence of a dense scopula on the upper prolateral cheliceral surface. Further separated from Harpactira by the absence of plumose stridulatory strikers on the prolateral maxillary surface, and by the absence of a discrete row of bristles below the retrolateral cheliceral scopula. Distinguished from Idiothele by the possession of digitiform distal segment on posterior spinnerets. Differs from Ceratogyrus by the lack of a foveal tubercle/procurved fovea. Female Augacephalus are separated from those of Eucratoscelus by the unmodified (not incrassate) tibiae of leg IV. Male Augacephalus are separated from those of Eucratoscelus and Pterinochilus by lacking the distal proventral tibial apophysis or by the reduced surmounted megaspine. Further separated from Eucratoscelus by the absence of a distal proventral tumid protuberance on metatarsus I. The presence of a distal prodorsal spine on metatarsi III and IV further separates Augacephalus from Eucratoscelus. Female Augacephalus are separated from those of Pterinochilus by the absence of long emergent setae on the chelicerae (giving them a velvety appearance), their robust palpi and legs I–II, and by the position of their posterior sternal sigilla (an impressed sclerotized spot).
Species
The World Spider Catalog accepts the following species:
Augacephalus breyeri Hewitt, 1919 South Africa, Mozambique, Eswatini (type species)
Augacephalus ezendami Gallon, 2001 Mozambique
Augacephalus junodi Simon, 1904 East, South Africa

Gaspar Núñez de Arce (1834–1903) was a Spanish poet, dramatist and statesman.
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times.
Life
He was born at Valladolid, where he was educated for the priesthood. He had no vocation for the ecclesiastical state, plunged into literature, and produced a play entitled Amor y Orgullo which was acted at Toledo in 1849. To the displeasure of his father, an official in the post office, the youth refused to enter the seminary, and escaped to Madrid, where he obtained employment on the staff of El Observador, a Liberal newspaper. He afterwards founded El Bachiller Honduras, a journal in which he advocated a policy of Liberal concentration, and he attracted sufficient notice to justify his appointment as governor of Logroño, and his nomination as deputy for Valladolid in 1865.
He was imprisoned at Cáceres for his violent attacks on the reactionary ministry of Narváez, acted as secretary to the revolutionary Junta of Catalonia when Isabella II was dethroned, and wrote the "Manifesto to the Nation" published by the provisional government on 26 October 1868. During the next few years he practically withdrew from political life till the restoration, when he attached himself to Sagasta's party. He served under Sagasta as minister for the colonies, the interior, the exchequer and education; but ill-health compelled him to resign on 27 July 1890, and henceforth he refused to take office again. He was elected to the Spanish Academy on 8 January 1874 and was appointed a life-senator in 1886. He died at Madrid in February 1903.
Núñez de Arce first came into notice as a dramatist, and he remained faithful to the stage for nearly a quarter of a century. In addition to three plays written in collaboration with Antonio Hurtado, he produced ¿Quién es el autor? (1859), La cuenta del zapatero (1859), ¡Cómo se empeña un marido! (1860), Deudas de la honra (1863), Ni tanto ni tan poco (1865), Quien debe, paga (1867) and El haz de leña (1872).
But Núñez de Arce's talent was more lyrical than dramatic, and his celebrity dates from the appearance of Gritos del combate (1875), a collection of poems exhorting Spaniards to lay aside domestic quarrels and to save their country from anarchy, more dangerous than a foreign foe. He maintained his position (in popular esteem) as the only possible rival of Campoamor by a series of philosophic, elegiac and symbolic poems: Raimundo Lulio, Última lamentación de Lord Byron (1879), Un idilio y una elegía (1879), La selva oscura (1879) and La visión de Fray Martín (1880). The old brilliance sets off the naturalistic observation of La Pesca (1884) and La Maruja (1886). The list of his works is completed by Poemas cortos (1895) and ¡Sursum corda! (1900); Hernán el lobo, published in El Liberal (January 23, 1881) and Luzbel remain unfinished. His strength lies in the graciousness of his vision, his sincerity and command of his instrument; his weakness derives from his divided sympathies, his moods of obvious sentiment and his rhetorical facility. But at his best, as in the Gritos del combate, he is a master of virile music and patriotic doctrine.

The Carr ministry (1997–1999) or Second Carr ministry was the 86th ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 39th Premier of New South Wales, Bob Carr, representing the Labor Party.
The ministry covered the period from 1 December 1997 until 8 April 1999, when Carr led Labor to victory at the 1999 state election.
Composition of ministry
The ministry covered the period from 1 December 1997. There was a minor rearrangement in April 1998 when Brian Langton relinquished his ministerial duties due to his involvement in a political scandal, after the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) found him guilty of corruptly rorting charter plane expenses. The ICAC deemed that Langton had sought advantage for himself by deliberate deception of the Parliamentary Accounts Department. The ministry continued until 8 April 1999 when the ministry was configured following the 1999 state election.
Ministers are members of the Legislative Assembly unless otherwise noted.

The England runestones (Swedish: Englandsstenarna) are a group of about 30 runestones in Northern Europe which refer to Viking Age voyages to England. They constitute one of the largest groups of runestones that mention voyages to other countries, and they are comparable in number only to the approximately 30 Greece Runestones and the 26 Ingvar Runestones, of which the latter refer to a Viking expedition near the Caspian Sea. They were engraved in Old Norse with the Younger Futhark.
The Anglo-Saxon rulers paid large sums, Danegelds, to Vikings, who mostly came from Denmark and Sweden who arrived to the English shores during the 990s and the first decades of the 11th century. Some runestones relate of these Danegelds, such as the Yttergärde runestone, U 344, which tells of Ulf of Borresta who received the danegeld three times, and the last one he received from Canute the Great. Canute sent home most of the Vikings who had helped him conquer England, but he kept a strong bodyguard, the Þingalið, and its members are also mentioned on several runestones.
The vast majority of the runestones, 27, were raised in modern-day Sweden and 17 in the oldest Swedish provinces around lake Mälaren. In contrast, modern-day Denmark has no such runestones, but there is a runestone in Scania which mentions London. There is also a runestone in Norway and a Swedish one in Schleswig, Germany.
Some Vikings, such as Guðvér did not only attack England, but also Saxony, as reported by the Grinda Runestone Sö 166 in Södermanland:
Below follows a presentation of the England Runestones based on information collected from the Rundata project, organized according to location. The transcriptions from runic inscriptions into standardized Old Norse are in the Swedish and Danish dialect to facilitate comparison with the inscriptions, while the English translation provided by Rundata give the names in standard dialect (the Icelandic and Norwegian dialect).
Uppland
There are eight runestones in Uppland that mention voyages to England. Several of them were raised in memory of men who had partaken in the Danegeld in England.
U 194
This secluded runestone is located in a grove near Väsby, Uppland, Sweden. It was raised by a Viking in commemoration of his receiving one danegeld in England. It is classified as being carved in runestone style Pr3 and, together with U 344, it has been said to be the earliest example of an Urnes style inscription in Uppland. The runic text follows a common rule to only carve a single rune for two consecutive letters, even when the letters were at the end of one word and the beginning of a second word. When the text shown as Latin characters, the transliterated runes are doubled and separate words are shown. For U 194 has three examples where this occurred, þinoftiʀ is transliterated as þino| |oftiʀ, tuknuts as tuk| |knuts, and anklanti as a| |anklanti.
Latin transliteration:
al|i| |l|it raisa stain þino| |oftiʀ sik sialfan ' hon tuk| |knuts kialt a| |anklanti ' kuþ hialbi hons ant
Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"Áli/Alli had this stone raised in memory of himself. He took Knútr's payment in England. May God help his spirit."
U 241
This runestone is one of the Lingsberg Runestones and was part of a paired monument with U 240. It is located on the courtyard of the estate Lingsberg in Uppland. It was raised by the grandchildren of Ulfríkr in commemoration of his receiving two danegelds in England. It is carved in runestone style Pr3.
Latin transliteration:
n tan auk huskarl ' auk sua(i)n ' l(i)tu rita stin aftiʀ ' ulfrik ' faþurfaþur sino ' hon hafþi o| |onklanti tuh kialt| |takit + kuþ hialbi þiʀa kiþka salu| |uk| |kuþs muþ(i)
Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"And Danr and Húskarl and Sveinn had the stone erected in memory of Ulfríkr, their father's father. He had taken two payments in England. May God and God's mother help the souls of the father and son."
U 344
The runestone U 344, in the style Pr3, was found in 1868, at Yttergärde, by Richard Dybeck, but it is today raised at the church of Orkesta, see Orkesta Runestones. Together with U 194, it is considered to be the earliest example of the Urnes style in Uppland.
The runes are written from right to left with the orientation of the runes going in the same direction, but the last words outside the runic band have the usual left-right orientation. It can be dated to the first half of the 11th century because of its use of the ansuz rune for the a and æ phonemes, and because of its lack of dotted runes.
This stone is notable because it commemorates that the Viking Ulf of Borresta had taken three danegelds in England. The first one was with Skagul Toste in 991, the second one with Thorkel the High in 1012 and the last one with Canute the Great in 1018. Since there were many years between the danegelds, it is likely that Ulfr returned to Sweden after each danegeld to live as a wealthy magnate.
Latin transliteration:
in ulfr hafiʀ o| |onklati ' þru kialt| |takat þit uas fursta þis tusti ka-t ' þ(a) ---- (þ)urktil ' þa kalt knutr
Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"And Ulfr has taken three payments in England. That was the first that Tosti paid. Then Þorketill paid. Then Knútr paid."
U 539
This runestone is located at the church of Husby-Sjuhundra. It is one of the older runestones as it is in the style RAK. It is raised in memory of Sveinn who intended to go to England but died en route in Jutland. Omeljan Pritsak comments that Sveinn probably died in the Limfjord, Jutland, as the fjord was usually the starting point for campaigns against England. Jansson dates Svein's death to 1015, when Canute the Great's great invasion fleet had been assembled in the Limfjord, a fleet that had many young warriors from Uppland. When the fleet departed for England, Sveinn was no longer aboard.
The hope that God and God's mother would treat the man better than he deserved is an expression that appears on several runestones, and it is not understood as an expression of his having a bad character but it is a request that he should be favoured in the afterlife.

U 616
This runestone is located at Tång, and it is raised in memory of a man who died in battle in England. It is classified as being carved in runestone style Pr1, but the runemaster is considered to have had little experience in the craft. The runic text contains a bind rune, which is a ligature combining two runes, for an a-rune and a l-rune, which may have been done simply to save space.
Latin transliteration:

U 812
This runestone is carved in runestone style Pr2 and was raised at the church of Hjälsta. It was raised in memory of a man's father who died in England. Based on its size and runic text, it has been suggested that U 812 was once part of a coupled monument located in a cemetery, but that the runestone with the first half of the overall text has been lost. Other pairs of runestones that may have formed a coupled monument in a cemetery are U 49 and U 50 in Lovö and Sö Fv1948;282 and Sö 134 in Ludgo.
Latin transliteration:

U 978
This stone is located in the wall of the church of Gamla Uppsala. It is carved in runestone style Pr2 and made of sandstone. It was made by a man who called himself "traveller to England" in memory of his father.
Latin transliteration:

U 1181
This fragmented runestone is classified as being carved in the runestone style Fp and is located at Lilla Runhällen. It was raised by a man who had travelled to England in memory of himself.
Latin transliteration:
...-(i) × lit × (a)kua ... ...[k × sa](l)fan × ek-...ns*fari ' a(f)i × kunu-s *

Södermanland
There are six known runestones in Södermanland that mention men who had travelled to England.
Sö 46
This runestone was found in Hormesta, and it is one of the older runestones as it is classified as being carved in runestone style RAK, which is considered to be the oldest style. It is raised by two men in memory of their brother who died in England.
Latin transliteration:

Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"Áskell and Gnauðimaðr(?) raised this stone in memory of their brother Sverri(?), who died in England. Ketill and Stakkr made this monument."
Sö 55
This runestone in Bjudby was raised by a man in memory of his son Hefnir who went to England and back, and instead of having a warrior's death overseas, he died at home. Due to the use of the ansuz rune for the o phoneme, Erik Brate argues that Hefnir participated in a late 11th-century expedition to England. He suggests that Hefnir was part of the invasion force sent to England by Sweyn Estridsson, in 1069, and which was intended to defeat William the Conqueror's Normans. The invasion had been planned for two years, but William the conqueror bought off the commander of the force who was Sweyn Estridsson's brother Asbjörn. The inscription is in runestone style Pr2 and was carved by two runemasters whose names are normalized as Slóði and Brúni. Brúni's signature is also on Sö 178 at Gripsholm Castle.
Latin transliteration:
þorstain (l)(i)... ...sa : stain : þena : ... sik : sialfan : auk : sun : sin : hefni : uaʀ til : enklans : ukr : trenkr : farin : uarþ : þa * haima : at : harmi tauþr kuþ hialbi : sialu : þaima bruni : auk : sloþi : þaiʀ ...(u) stan þena

English translation:
"Þorsteinn had this stone raised in memory of himself and his son Hefnir. The young valiant man travelled to England; then died grievously at home. May God help their souls. Brúni and Slóði, they carved this stone."
Sö 83
This runestone has disappeared, but it was located at the church of Tumbo. It is classified as possibly being in runestone style Pr4. The inscription has been attributed based on stylistic analysis to the runemaster Näsbjörn, and what little remained of the stone when it was discovered said that a man drowned in England.
Latin transliteration:
[...an : truknaþi : i eklans : han...]
Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"He drowned in England's ..."
Sö 160
This runestone is located at the church of Råby. Like the Kolsta Runestone, it is raised in memory of a man who died in the assembly retinue (þingalið) in England.
Latin transliteration:

Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"Eybjǫrn raised this stone in memory of Skerðir. He died in the retinue in England."
Sö 166
This runestone which is located in Grinda is in the style RAK. It is raised in memory of a father who divided up gold in England and attacked some towns in northern Germany. According to Omeljan Pritsak, the gold which was divided was part of the danegeld, and Erik Brate argues that it was the same expedition as the one mentioned on the Berga Runestone.

Vs 5
This runestone is located in the garden of the farm Vändle and it is tentatively categorized as being carved in runestone style Fp. It is raised in memory of a man who travelled to England.
Latin transliteration:

Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"Gísl had the bridge made in memory of Ásl/ǫsl, his son. He died in England. May God help his spirit and soul."
Vs 18
This runestone is located in Berga and is classified as being carved in runestone style Fp. It was carved by the same runemaster as the Ingvar runestone Vs 19. Similar to the inscription on U 194, the runic text has an example where a single rune was used for two consecutive letters with one at the end of one word and the other at the start of a second word. The runemaster on both Vs 18 and Vs 19 used the same runes trekuþan which were transliterated to show two letters and separate words as trek| |kuþan. Vs 18 and Vs 19 were also sponsored by the same person, Gunnvaldr.
Latin transliteration:
(k)hunaltr * liet resa * sthin * þensa * iftir * kerfast * sun sen * trek| |kuþan * auk * uas farin * til eklans * hiolbi * kuþ * salu * hans
Old Norse transcription:

Gästrikland
In Gästrikland, there is only one runestone that mentions a voyage to England.
Gs 8
This is a fragment that remains of a runestone. It was found in 1927 in Västra Hästbo near the church of Torsåker, and today it is almost hidden behind a pillar inside the church. It is in sandstone and it is one of the older runestones as it is carved in runestone style RAK. This the classification for inscriptions with runic band ends which do not have any attached serpent or beast heads. The runic text indicates that it was raised in memory of a man who went to England. The last word has a bind rune that combines a k-rune and u-rune, but it has been suggested that this was done to correct an error made when carving the text.
Latin transliteration:
asmuntr -... ...faþ-... han : uas : uist : --- ikla-ti ...k=uust--

English translation:
"Ásmundr ... ... He was abroad in the west in England ..."
Östergötland
In Östergötland, there are two runestones that mention men who travelled to England, and both men died there.
Ög 104
This runestone is located in Gillberga. It is in the style Fp and it is raised in memory of a brother who died in England. The stone is located near an ancient road and was raised to its current position in 1866.
Latin transliteration:

Old Norse transcription:
English translation:
"Rauðr raised this stone in memory of Tóki, his brother, a very good valiant man, who was killed in England."
Ög Fv1950;341
This runestone is dated to around 1025, and was raised in memory of a father who died in England. It was discovered in 1950 lying with the text downwards on the property of the farm Kallerstad, only 200 metres from Ög 113. It was probably found in its original location since a road used to pass the stone. The stone had been broken into two pieces, but was reassembled and raised outside of the county museum of Linköping. The stone is in greyish red granite and it is 3.95 m tall (2.98 above soil) and 1.43 m wide, and the surface is quite weathered. The name Vígfastr is otherwise unattested on runestones and also the name Helga was quite rare. It is carved in runestone style Fp.
The Rundata designation for this Östergötland inscription, Ög Fv1950;341, refers to the year and page number of the issue of Fornvännen in which the runestone was first described.
Latin transliteration:
...-iur- : auk : as-iurn : þiʀ : ristu : stin : þasi : eft-ʀ : uikfast : faþur : sin : es uas : tuþr : o : eklati : sun : helgu

Småland
In Småland, there are five or six runestones that mention voyages to England. One of them (Sm 77) mentions a man who was a marshal (stallari) in England.
Sm 5
This runestone is located in Transjö. It is one of the older stones as it is in the style RAK. The runes are unusual as the m-runes are dotted () and the k-runes have a stroke to the left instead of to the right. The stone was raised in memory of a son who died in England named Ketill, who was described as being óníðingr. Óníðingr, which with the ó- prefix means the opposite of the Old Norse pejorative word níðingr, was used to describe a man as being virtuous and is translated in the Rundata database as "unvillainous." It is used as a descriptive term on inscriptions Sö 189 in Åkerby, Sm 37 in Rörbro, Sm 147 in Vasta Ed, and DR 68 in Århus, and appears as a name or part of a name on inscriptions Ög 77 in Hovgården, Ög 217 in Oppeby, Sm 2 in Aringsås, and Sm 131 in Hjortholmen. The text on Sm 5, Sm 37, and Ög 77 use the same exact phrase manna mæstr oniðingʀ or "most unvillainous of men" to describe the deceased, and DR 68 uses a variant of this phrase.

E 2
This runestone, also known as Br E2), is a Viking Age runic inscription from the early 11th century, in a coffin of limestone in Saint Paul's Cathedral in London. The stone is in style Pr2, also known as Ringerike style. It has remains of dark blue and red colour. The stone is placed in the Museum of London.
It is possible that it was made in memory of a Viking warrior who died in service of king Canute the Great, and the creature on the stone may represent Sleipnir, Odin's eight-legged horse.
Latin transliteration:

Aaron Kershaw (born 22 October 1992) is a field hockey player from Australia.
Personal life
Aaron Kershaw was born and raised in Goulburn, New South Wales.
His pre-game pump-up song is The Horses by Daryl Braithwaite.
Career
Club level
In Hockey ACT's 'National League One', Kershaw plays hockey for Goulburn Hockey Club.
Over a period of three years, from 2015 to 2017, Kershaw was awarded the 'Brophy Medal' back to back. The award is presented to the best and fairest of the competition.
State level
Despite coming from New South Wales, Kershaw represents the Australian Capital Territory in domestic competitions.
Kershaw first represented the Canberra Lakers, the ACT's top men's side, at the Australian Hockey League (AHL) in 2011. Since his debut, Kershaw represented the team every year until 2018, when the AHL was disbanded.
In 2019, with the introduction of Hockey Australia's new national league, Hockey One, Kershaw was named captain of the ACT's new team, the Canberra Chill.
National level
Aaron Kershaw has only represented Australia at junior level, in the Under–21 division.
Kershaw made his debut for the 'Burras' in 2013, at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival where he won a gold medal. He followed this up with an appearance at the Junior World Cup, where Australia finished fifth.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager of Kosov (), nicknamed the "Ahavat Shalom", (1768–29 October 1825) was a Hasidic rebbe and founder of the Kosov dynasty, which he led from 1802 until his death in 1825. He is well-known for his book, The Love of Peace.
Biography
Hager was born in Kolomyia (modern-day Ukraine) to Rabbi Yaakov Koppel Hager and his wife Chaya. He studied under Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sasov, Rabbi , Rabbi Meshullam Feivush Heller, and Rabbi .
From an early age, he devoted most of his life to Torah study and only engaged in commerce enough to earn a living for basic necessities. He accepted the position of rabbinate in Kosov and became the mentor to thousands of Hasidim. He, along with his wife Rebbetzin Shaina Rachel, was the first member of the Kosov Hasidic of the Hager family, of which came the subgroups of Vizhnitz Hasidism, , and others.
Becoming popular among Hasidim, Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa said that his feet burned to want to meet the rebbe of Kosov. The Seer of Lublin referred to him as a "king".
After the death of his wife, Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sasov sent two children, a boy and a girl, to Hager, his former student, to take care of their upbringing and education. Moshe died about three months later.
Among Hager's students were:
Rabbi of Bucecea
Rabbi
Rabbi
He died on 29 October 1825.
Family
Among his children are:
Rabbi , who succeeded him as rebbe of Kosov
Rabbi , who married Pessia Leah, the daughter of Moshe of Sasov who came to live in his household
Rebbetzin Sarah Leah, wife of Rabbi Yechiel Michal Mazal, son of and later Rabbi Gershon Ashkenazi of Kolomyia

Kentucky raid in Cass County (1847) was conducted by slaveholders and slave catchers who raided Underground Railroad stations in Cass County, Michigan to capture black people and return them to slavery. After unsuccessful attempts, and a lost court case, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was enacted. Michigan's Personal Liberty Act of 1855 was passed in the state legislature to prevent the capture of formerly enslaved people that would return them to slavery.
Background
Cass County—particularly Calvin, Penn, and Porter townships—was settled by Quakers from Ohio and Indiana and free blacks beginning in 1829. They became a network of people who provided freedom seekers with food, shelter, and transportation along the Underground Railroad to sites in Canada, where slavery was illegal. Two Underground Railroad lines operated in Michigan. One was the Quaker line, which brought freedom seekers north from the Ohio River. Another was the northeasterly route, the Illinois line, from St. Louis.
Cass County was the starting point for the Central Michigan Route that had stops every 15 miles between Cass County and Detroit, Michigan. Stations were at Climax, Battle Creek, Marshall, Albion, Grass Lake, Ann Arbor, Plymouth, and Detroit, where they crossed into Canada (Sandwich First Baptist Church).
The Underground Railroad had delivered formerly enslaved people into Michigan at an increasing rate over the 1840s. In some cases, men traveled to Bourbon County, Kentucky to transport enslaved men and women to Cass County, where some Quakers provided shelter and transportation to freedom seeker's ultimate destination. Some settled in Michigan, others continued their travel to Canada. William Holman Jones of Calvin Township and Wright Modlin of Williamsville brought many bondspeople into the county, frustrating the slaveholders in Kentucky. They sent a spy from Kentucky to Cass County, who familiarized himself with the Quakers who were Underground Railroad stationmasters and conductors. The spy returned to Kentucky and the information was used to plan a raid.
Raid
Thirteen men from Kentucky came to Cass County in August 1847 and broke into smaller groups to hunt down formerly enslaved people. They captured nine former slaves at Quaker farms, including the Shugart, Osborn, East, and Bogue properties. When it became known that slave catchers and owners had kidnapped nine people, a group formed of white and free black abolitionists to stop the Kentuckians. One crowd was more than 300 people.
The group faced off with the slave catchers in Vandalia at O'Dell's Mill, owned by James O'Dell. Outnumbered and believing that they were in the right due to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, the Kentuckians agreed to stand trial in Cassopolis and posted bond to get out of jail. The nine former slaves were held at a local tavern. Fourteen men from Kentucky were arrested for trespass, assault and battery, and kidnapping.
Trials
Three days after the confrontation, a trial was conducted. Charges were filed by white and free black abolitionists and Quakers. The men from Kentucky provided documentation to prove ownership of the enslaved people. The case was tried by Ebenezer Mcllvain, a Berrien County Court Commissioner, who was also a conductor on the Underground Railroad in Niles. Mcllvain ruled that Kentucky did not have the correct paperwork. They showed bills of sale, but they did not have a certified copy of the Kentucky statutes that showed that slavery was legal. Mcllvain released the nine captives and 34 more freedom seekers traveled on the Underground Railroad to sites in Canada.
In late 1849, slaveholders sued ten men in the United States District Court in Detroit for the value of their freed slaves. The defendants were Commissioner Ebenezer Mcllvain, William Jones, and David T. Nicholson, as well as Quakers Zachariah Shugart, Joel East, Ishamel Lee, Steven Bogue, and Josiah, Jefferson, and Ellison Osborn. Jacob Merritt Howard, who later drafted the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution that abolished slavery, represented the defendants. He argued that the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 was no longer valid, due to subsequent case law. After more than two years, the trial was settled when David T. Nicholson agreed to pay more than $2,000 () in court costs. The Kentuckians did not receive any compensation.
Repercussions
Southern slaveholders, believed by historians to be friends of Senator Henry Clay, called for a stricter fugitive slave law, and with Clay's assistance, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was passed by the Congress, making it more dangerous to aid and harbor freedom seekers. Clay argued about the damage done to his fellow Kentuckians from the fallout of the raid of 1847, which helped him pass the bill. Erastus Hussey, an Underground Railroad stationmaster and state senator, helped enact Michigan's Personal Liberty Act of 1855 to prevent returning people to slavery. The growing tension between abolitionists and slaveholders led to the Civil War.
This event may have been the reason that Sampson Sanders decided to send his manumitted slaves to Cass County. Sanders became the largest landholder in Cabell County, West Virginia, and was a large slaveholder, with 51 enslaved men, women, and children. He decided to manumit each of them upon his death. In 1849, through the provisions of his will, he provided them with land and equipment in Cass County, Michigan, and money to get established. They moved north as a group.
Legacy
"Crossroads to Freedom", a monument located at the Cass County Courthouse, commemorates the role of the Quakers in Michigan's Underground Railroad and the Kentucky slave raid of 1847. It was installed by the county and state bar associations.
The documentary Kentucky Raid 1847 of Cass County, produced by Sally Connor, tells the story of the freedom seekers, those how tried to help them, and the raid intended to return them to slavery.

Kanishka Pandey is an Indian sports researcher, writer, and the head of sports research center at the Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad. He is the founder President of non-profit and non-governmental organization Sports: A Way of Life. He has been awarded the Honorary Doctorate for his research on Sports Philosophy.
Early life
Kanishka was born in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh and raised in the state capital of Lucknow. His father, Ajai Shanker Pandey, is a senior IAS officer of UP. Kanishka is a former badminton player. He started playing badminton when he was 8 and represented his schools and college at the district and state level. He completed his school education at St Francis’ College, Lucknow. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from St Stephens College, Delhi and holds an LLB.
Career
Kanishka began his academic research on sports while he was pursuing his LLB from the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. The research concluded after 3 years and was to measure the impact of sports on an individual's physical and mental health, which led to the formation of Sports: A Way of Life.
Kanishka formed the NGO in Uttar Pradesh in 2017 to increase sports literacy in the country. In August 2017, the foundation launched its first programme called Sports Literacy Mission at the Indian Habitat Centre, New Delhi in the presence of Arjuna, Dronacharya, and Paralympians awardees from a variety of sports. The programme aimed to sensitize parents and children about the significance of sports.
Kanishka with his team carried out a countrywide survey to gauge the public interest in various sports activities and concluded that "less than 5% people have interest in sports whereas less than 2% females were interested in sports."
In 2018 Kanishka submitted a memorandum to the Governor of Rajasthan and the chancellor of state universities, Kalyan Singh calling for inclusion of sports philosophy in syllabus of higher education institutions. After reviewing his proposal, a letter was sent by the governor's office to the vice chancellors of all the state universities and the state government for their suggestions on the matter. The Government of Rajasthan formed a committee consisting of five members headed by the vice chancellor of the Govind Guru Tribal University Kailash Sodhani in August 2018 to seek suggestions regarding implementation of subject Khel Darshan in all state run universities, syllabus, and how to better sports facilities in Rajasthan. A notice was subsequently issued by the governor's office to all the state universities urging to include sports philosophy as a compulsory subsidiary subject for college and university students in the state.
Kanishka wrote to the Human Resource Development Minister of India Prakash Javadekar to include sports in school syllabus. In 2019, he spoke at the national sports seminar held in Delhi, where he presented a research paper urging parents to adopt the carrot and stick policy to build sports aptitude in their kids, before they get enrolled in Kindergarten class.
Kanishka has called for the Government of India to make Right to Sports a fundamental right under section 21A by filling a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court citing the report of the Institute of Management Technology which says "Only 5.56% of the population in India have knowledge of sports. The percentage of women in it is 1.31%. 5.7 million people are directly or indirectly connected. Sports literacy in the USA is 20%. In China alone about ten million people take up badminton. If the rest of the games are added then the tally of China will overtake that of the USA."
In 2020 Institute of Management Technology (IMT) collaborated with Sports: A Way of Life and selected two villages of Muzaffarnagar, Bahadurpur and Khedi Viran, to develop them as Model Sports Villages under Adarsh Khel Gram programme.
He has authored several books and published research papers in national and international journals. His first book titled Sports: A Way of Life was acclaimed by vice chancellors of Indian universities and was also presented to the former President of India, Late Pranab Mukherjee.

Polemi () is a village in the Paphos District of Cyprus.
The village is located within the rolling landscape of the Paphos hills at an altitude of above sea level. It receives an average annual rainfall of about 637 millimeters. Polemi lies 4 km north of Letymvou and 3 km east of Stroumbi, off the main B7 Paphos to Polis (Polis Chrysochous) road. The majority of the houses of Polemi stand on a plateau overlooking its associated farmland in the valleys on each side, where its boundaries meet those of neighbouring villages in the lower lying land. Polemi has a mild climate with temperatures generally cooler at all times than in the coastal areas of Paphos. The village stands at the point between several watersheds with valleys falling southwest towards Mavrokolympos, north towards Chrysochou Bay and also south east.
Polemi has historically been a relatively large village by local standards and this has resulted in the amenities present there today. The village is home to a primary school Δημοτικό Σχολείο Πολεμίου (Demotiko Scholeiou Polemiou) with 84 students; and the local secondary school Γυμνάσιο και Λύκειο Πολεμίου (Gymnasio/ Lykeio Polemiou) serving Polemi and surrounding areas. There are shops, restaurants and several cafes in the village.
The foundation of Polemi and its naming is uncertain. There has most probably been a settlement of Greek speaking people here by this name since the Byzantine era. The name Polemi can be translated as meaning 'warriors' village'; with πόλεμος () meaning battle in Ancient Greek, πολέμιος () translating from modern Greek into English as 'adversary' or 'foe', and πολεμικό () meaning 'war like'. Some locals believe the name of the village is rooted in the settlement of a division of former soldiers from the Byzantine army in the middle ages or previously.
The village is laid out on a network of streets with a mix of older houses built from the local white limestone and newer constructions from the later 20th Century and 21st century. The village was traditionally made up of a series of related hamlets rather than one single village around a core, though it has progressively concentrated around the church of Παναγία Χρυσελεούσα Panagia Chryseleousa (the Virgin Mary of mercy). Another core of older dwellings can be seen close to the chapel of Prophitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah) at Matsima in the west of the plateau. There was another hamlet named Ayios Giorgios (Saint George) in the lower lands to the west of the village. A small chapel of the same name still stands in this area amongst olive groves and has been restored in recent years.
Polemi has a long and rich history of association with the Greek Orthodox Church. As well as the main church and smaller chapels in Polemi, the Metochi Μετόχι stands at the northern edge of the village. This large stone building and enclosed courtyard was built as an outpost of the Kykkos Monastery, the pre-eminent monastic institution of Cyprus. Polemi's association with Kykkos, which is itself located high in the Troodos Mountains, was longstanding. Much of the farmland around the village was under the ownership of the monastery until the twentieth century. This historic ownership may have dated back to the rule of the Frankokratia, the Crusaders or Venetians when a feudal system was introduced on the island; or from the time of the Ottoman Empire in Cyprus when families were subject to onerous taxes and private property was sometimes transferred to recognised religious institutions.
While some villages in the Paphos region were settled by Turkish speaking populations during the Ottoman period, Polemi was historically a village of Greek Cypriots. Today Polemi retains its predominantly Greek character but is home to a mix of nationalities with a number of British people living there as in other villages in the Paphos district.
Polemi is one of the 'wine villages' of Paphos with extensive cultivation of vines in the fields around the village. The SODAP Kamanterena winery is located just outside the village boundary to the south west.
Polemi is also known for its naturally occurring red tulips that are flowering in the fields around the village in springtime. An annual tulip festival is celebrated to mark this phenomenon.
