Yohannes I (), also known as Yohannes the Righteous (Ge'ez: ጻድቁ ዮሐንስ), throne name A'ilaf Sagad (Ge'ez: አእላፍ ሰገድ; 1640 – 19 July 1682) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1667 to 1682, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was the fourth son of Fasilides.
Yohannes was appointed nəgusä nägäst by a council of the senior dignitaries of the Empire, at the encouragement of the noble Blattengeta Malka Krestos. The council then imprisoned the other sons of Fasilides on Mount Wehni, continuing the practice Fasilides had revived.
Ancestry
Of Amhara descent, Yohannes was the eldest son of Emperor Fasilides and succeeded him 1662.
Reign
According to G.W.B. Huntingford, Yohannes spent much of his reign campaigning, stating that 6 of the 11 itineraries he reproduced were military expeditions. Three of these were against the Agaw in Gojjam, and Agawmeder, one against the Oromo, and two punitive expeditions to the area around Mount Ashgwagwa—Angot and Lasta—to quash the revolts of Feres (in 1677) and Za Maryam (1679).
On 15th of July 1682, the ailing Emperor Yohannes I made Iyasu I his successor in his final proclamation. The dignitaries witnessing this proclamation were the Blattengeta Akala Krestos, Dejazmach Anestasyos, Delba Iyasus, Fitawrari Fesseha Krestos,, Azazz Kanafero, Basha Lesana Krestos and Azazz Za-Wald among others.
Emperor Yohannes died on 19 July and was buried at Teda.
Religion under Yohannes
Due to the violent religious controversy that Catholic missionaries had caused in Ethiopia under the reign of his grandfather Susenyos, Yohannes acted harshly towards Europeans. In 1669, he directed Gerazmach Mikael to expel all of the Catholics still living in Ethiopia; those who did not embrace the beliefs of the Ethiopian Church were exiled to Sennar. Six Franciscans sent by Pope Alexander VII to succeed in converting Ethiopia to Catholicism where the Jesuits had failed 30 years before, were executed during his reign. As a result, he favored Armenian visitors, whose beliefs also embraced Miaphysitism, and were in harmony with the Ethiopian Church. These included Khodja Murad, who undertook a number of diplomatic missions for the Emperor; and in 1679, the Emperor Yohannes received the Armenian bishop Yohannes, bearing a relic of Ewostatewos.
The growing controversy over the nature of Christ had grown severe enough that in the last year of his reign Yohannes called a synod to resolve the dispute. The Ewostathian monks of Gojjam advocated the formula "Through Unction Christ the Son was consubstantial with the Father", by which they came to be known as the Qebat ("Unction") faction, who were supported by the Emperor's own son Iyasu; they were opposed by the monks of Debre Libanos, who at that time still advocated traditional Miaphysitism. The outcome of the synod is in dispute: according to E.A. Wallis-Budge and H. Weld Blundell, Emperor Yohannes was convinced to condemn the Qebat doctrine, which led to Iyasu attempting to flee his father's realm; but according to Crummey, Yohannes favored the Gojjame delegation for political reasons: at the time Gojjam was an important province. These decisions were revisited once Iyasu became Emperor, at a synod he called in 1686.
Family
Spouse
Sources mentions only Sabla Wangel as the spouse of Emperor Yohannes I. She married Yohannes in October 1668 and likely gave birth to all (or almost all) of his offsprings. The marriage was dissolved in 1678 by the order of the Abun of Alexandria, on the grounds that it was incestuous. Sabla Wangel's father was Gabra Maskal, the husband of Yohannes's paternal aunt, and therefore Sabla Wangel was a niece of Yohannes.
Nonetheless, the former empress is remembered as a ‘‘great patroness of literature’’ who was knowledgeable about theological books and supported the production of manuscripts. Sabla Wangel died on 13 January 1690 and was buried as a queen in the royal cemetery on the island of Mesrasha at Lake Tana alongside Yohannes I.
Descendants
Emperor Yohannes I had 5 sons (four of whom were named in sources), and 2 daughters.
Yostos was his eldest son. He served as the governor of Semien. He died on 11 June 1676.
Iyasu the Great was his second son and successor.
Tewoflos was his third son. Tewoflos reigned as Emperor between 1708 and 1711.
Gelawdewos was his fourth son. Gelawdewos died after being struck by lightning, and was buried on the island of Mesrasha on Lake Tana.
Amlakawit was his eldest daughter. She married Basha Walda Giyorgis, a powerful retainer under Yohannes I. Amlakawit died young in 1669.
Eleni his second daughter of Yohannes I; her mother is not named in the sources. She was one of the most influential woman of late 17th century Ethiopia. She died in 1708.

Closenberg Hotel is a three star heritage hotel located in Galle, Sri Lanka. It is situated on the southern side of Galle Harbour.
History
In 1719 the Dutch built a small fortalice on an island promontory, on the southern side of the Galle bay. They called the island Klossenburg (or Kloffenburg), meaning 'fortalice or citadel on which the sea roars'. Klossenburg housed a battery of two guns and the Sinhalese called it 'Aluth Kotuwa' or the new fort.
By the time the British took over Galle in 1790, the fortress had been abandoned. It wasn't until Captain Francis Bayley, the agent for the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company , arrived in Galle aboard the steamer ‘Hindustan’ in 1859. Bayley discovered the disused fort, negotiating and buying it from the British Crown. Bailey was also a master carpenter and mason, designing and building the manor in 1861. He named the building 'Villa Marina'. He also constructed a summerhouse at the end of the promontory where a flagstaff was used to fly the P&O flag.
Bayley's wife, Lucy Matilda née Atkinson, was an artist, and decorated the house and gardens with a variety of ferns and blooms, sourced from various locations along the P&O trade route, from Calcutta to the Suez. Bayley resided in the house until 1871, when he sold it to P&O Steamship Company for the use as the official residence of the company's agent. Bayley continued to live there until the company shifted its offices to Colombo. The house was sold in 1889 to Simon Perera Abeywardena (the son-in-law of Charles Henry de Soysa) on the condition that the property had to remain in the hands of the Abeywardena family. Abeywardena changed the name of the mansion to 'Closenberg'. In 1965 the Abeywardena family home was converted into a hotel, with the four main rooms adapted as guest bedrooms and the former bachelors’ quarters modified to become a kitchen. In 1983 a further sixteen bijou rooms were added facing the sea. In 2003 these rooms were refurbished with air-conditioning added.

Città della Pieve Cathedral () is the principal place of worship of Città della Pieve, Umbria, Italy. It is dedicated to Saints Gervasius and Protasius. Formerly the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Città della Pieve, since 1986 it has been the co-cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perugia-Città della Pieve.
The first church on the site dated from between the 4th and 5th centuries. This was replaced by a Romanesque structure, which was itself rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 13th century. In the Gothic period a crypt was also built below the high altar on the remains of Etruscan and ancient Roman secular buildings. Few traces of these phases remain in the present church, built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The side chapels and bell tower belong to this period.

Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School (also called as KCPS) is a co-educational primary school in North Point, Hong Kong founded in 1953 by the Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents' Association of Hong Kong. It was the first school in Hong Kong to teach primarily in Mandarin Chinese, and for many years continued to be the only school to do so.
The school has a nursery and kindergarten section, and children are admitted from their second birthday, into the nursery class.
History
The school project was initiated by the Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents' Association of Hong Kong in 1949. Donations of HK$256,722 were raised to build a school on a plot of land on North Point Road donated by its vice-chairman. In 1953, Jeannie Sun Fong-chung (孫方中), then aged 25 and with no experience as an educator, was appointed as the founding principal of the school. She pioneered use of Mandarin as the medium of instruction, because she strongly believed it could cultivate a sense of belonging to China, but also improve students' Chinese language skills. Another revolutionary idea of hers at the time was to employ native English speakers to teach English. In the political environment prevailing at the time, the idea of teaching in Mandarin resulted in being branded "left-leaning". Sun served as the school's principal for 48 years.
Upon application from the school, the Government allocated a plot of land at 30 Ching Wah Street, the school's present location (then known as the "South campus") and construction began in January 1956. The school moved into its new premises in 1958. The foundation stone was laid by Hong Kong Governor Sir Robert Brown Black on 26 February 1958, and the school was ready for the new intake in August of the same year. The North Point Road site became known as the "North campus" thereafter.
The "international" section of the school opened in 1993, Kiangsu-Chekiang College Secondary School, International Section.
Curriculum
In 1994 the international division of school had Mandarin courses for all students from kindergarten to onward grades. The concept was that students in that division would gain an understanding of Mandarin. As of 1994, music and physical education courses were Mandarin medium for primary four and onwards even though other courses would remain English medium.

The Schizo's are a Dutch punkrock band from Emmen. The band was formed in the mid-1980s, broke up, and reformed in the 2000s.
History
The band was formed around 1985 in Emmen; the members (Despo Kristel on bass, René Timmer, and Reinie Hummel) were all heavily influenced by the American rock-and-roll and especially the New York City punk rock scene with bands like The Ramones, Johnny Thunders and New York Dolls. In spring of 1987 they each took out a personal loan and raised 20,000 Dutch guilders (about € 9100,-) and booked a week in the Ballad Sound recording studio near the town of Gorinchem. To keep costs down they lived in a trailer on the local campground and relied on volunteers to help them out. In a single week they recorded 11 tracks, and did the final mix at Jaap Brünner's studio to make a final mix.
Since no record label showed any interest, they self-released 500 copies of the album. Lack of success and problems with alcohol and hard drugs, however, led to the band's downfall.
Comeback
In 2008, Hummel and Timmer, now clean, reformed the band, getting Marco Geerdink to replace Kristel on bass. They played their first gig in over 20 years during the 2008 Gouden Pijl, a professional Criterium in Emmen.
They recorded a second CD, Overcome Oblivion and played several gigs in Emmen and surroundings. On 4 August 2011, Rene Timmer died after a long illness.

The Taunus is a mountain range in Hesse, Germany, located north west of Frankfurt and north of Wiesbaden. The tallest peak in the range is Großer Feldberg at 878 m; other notable peaks are Kleiner Feldberg (825 m) and Altkönig (798 m).
The Taunus range spans the districts of Hochtaunuskreis, Main-Taunus-Kreis, Rheingau-Taunus, Limburg-Weilburg, and Rhein-Lahn. The range is known for its geothermal springs and mineral waters that formerly attracted members of the European aristocracy to its spa towns. The car line Ford Taunus is named after it.
Location and boundary
The Taunus is the southeastern part of the Rhenish Slate Mountains. The low mountain range is about 75 km long from southwest to northeast and about 35 km wide across it from northwest to southeast,it covers an area of about 2700 km2. In the west, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley borders the Taunus and separates it from the western Hunsrück. In the north, the valley of the Lahn (Giessen-Koblenzer Lahntal) with the Limburg Basin forms a very sharp scenic border to the northern Westerwald. In the east, the Giessen Basin (southernmost part of the West Hessian Uplands) with Dießenbach and Kleebach border to the north, the Wetterau with Wetter and Nidda to the south of the slate mountains; in the south, the Rheingau and the Main-Taunus foothills form natural borders. The last three landscapes are part of the Rhine-Main lowlands.
On the southern edge are the towns of Rüdesheim am Rhein, Wiesbaden, Hofheim am Taunus and Bad Homburg vor der Höhe at the junctions with the valleys of the Upper Rhine and Main; the towns of Bad Nauheim and Butzbach are on the eastern edge at the junction with the Wetterau; in the north on the Lahn the towns of Wetzlar, Weilburg, Bad Ems and Lahnstein border on the Hintertaunus; in the west in the Middle Rhine is, among other things, Lorch at the seam (each in an anti-clockwise direction).
Natural structure
The Taunus is a heterogeneous landscape area, but it is usually quite distinct from the surrounding landscapes and is classified as a main natural area unit group. The natural landscape is divided according to morphology, geological structure, climate and partly by the prevailing vegetation into sub-landscapes that are more uniform in themselves. The cultural landscape, i.e. the natural landscape shaped by man, shows the following structure in terms of land use, the location and distribution of settlements and the course of traffic routes.
In the south are the more wooded and higher parts, namely the Vordertaunus (naturally also called Vortaunus) and the Hohe Taunus (Taunus main ridge), where in the Feldberg massif the highest heights not only of the Taunus but of the entire Rhenish Slate Mountains are reached. That is why the climate here is rougher than in the upstream landscape areas - it is colder on average, it rains and, in particular, it snows more. The turbulent relief offers little space for settlements and agricultural use. On the mostly shallow and fertile soils, which developed from acidic rock, there is mainly forest here. The Vortaunus is more inconsistent than the main ridge, it is morphologically more fragmented and the bays of the foothills divide it more.
Hintertaunus is the name given to the area north of the Hoher Taunus up to the Lahn valley. The landscape here is lower and less mountainous than in the southern Taunus. Between the valleys, some of which are quite deep, there are pronounced plateaus (leveled areas) with heavy agricultural use. Since mostly only the slopes of the valley are forested, the Hintertaunus is generally more open. The landscape of the Hintertaunus is more inconsistent because of its different elevations. This is clearly evident in the eastern Hintertaunus. Here, for example, there is a high-altitude landscape with dense forest cover, a harsher climate and poor soil in the Pferdskopf-Bergland; but also the Usinger basin, a gently undulating, open basin landscape with fertile soil and a balanced climate.
The Hintertaunus is divided into the Western and Eastern Hintertaunus by the Idstein Depression, which developed in the Idstein–Bad Camberg area. The Idstein depression widens towards the Lahn valley towards the Limburg Basin and is also known as the Goldener Grund in the northern area, probably because agriculture found more favorable conditions here. The relief is gently undulating, the soil is fertile due to the high proportion of loess and the climate is milder due to the basin location.

Geology and minerals
The Taunus is geologically divided from south to north into the units Vordertaunus unit (also northern phyllite zone or metamorphic southern edge zone), Taunus ridge unit and Hintertaunus unit. Finally, south of the Lahn, the Taunus natural region has a share in the Lahn trough and the Giessen nappe.
Vordertaunus
The Vordertaunus Unit is a narrow zone of weakly metamorphic rocks such as phyllites, greenschists and sericite gneisses.[5] They are appear greenish through chlorite and epidote. The starting products of these rocks were mudstones and volcanic rocks. The rock strata occurring in the Vordertaunus are divided from north to south into the metavolcanic sequence, the Eppstein slate and the Lorsbach slate.
The oldest sedimentary rocks of the Taunus are the phyllites of Bierstadt from the lower Ordovician era, known only from a borehole in Wiesbaden, with an age of about 480 million years determined by the evidence of spores. The volcanic rocks of the metavulcanite unit are younger, they could be dated to the Upper Ordovician and Silurian using uranium-lead dating. They are overlaid by the Eppstein slates of the Silurian and the Lower Devonian Lorsbach slates. At the very southern edge and in a small deposit near Mühlbach in the east of the Vordertaunus unit, limestones are exposed that are attributed to the Middle Devonian.
Taunus crest
To the north of the Vordertaunus is the Taunuscrest, also known as the High Taunus, which mainly consists of Lower Devonian clastic rocks. It is composed of the stratigraphic sequences Graue Phyllite, Bunte Schiefer, Hermeskeilschichten and Taunusquarzit. The Lower Devonian sub-layer only appears in two small outcrops, metavolcanites of the type found in the Anterior Taunus rocks.
The Graue Phyllite consist of slates and sandstones. They contain impressions of Upper Silurian brachiopods and corals and were deposited in shallow water. The clay slates of the Bunte Schiefer are greenish-grey or strikingly violet in color due to finely distributed hematite. Agnaths (jawless fish) found in the Bunte Schist are from the Gedinne (Lochkovian); just like the formation of the rock, they show a deposit of the colorful slate in rivers or lakes. The rocks of the colorful slate are found on the Großer Feldberg, where they were mined in tunnels to extract roofing slate (slate tunnel below the Red Cross). Quartzite sandstones are embedded in them, from which the Brunhildis rock on the summit of the Großer Feldberg consists. The Hermeskeil layers are exposed below the Großer Feldberg and consist of mudstones, weakly consolidated micaceous sandstones and quartzites of the Lower Siegen (Lower Pragian). They are covered by several 100 m thick layers of Taunus quartzite (Middle Siegen, Pragian/Emsian). The very weather-resistant rock forms many summits of the Taunus ridge (Altkönig, Kleiner Feldberg, Glaskopf), but also individual rock elevations (such as the Hohle Stein). The Celtic ring walls and the rubble heap on the "White Wall" on the Altkönig consist of Taunus quartzite. The fractured groundwater of the Taunus quartzite is of local interest for water extraction. They are dammed by the underlying Hermeskeilschichten and pumped through groundwater tunnels. Four such groundwater tunnels make a significant contribution to Wiesbaden's water supply.
Hintertaunus
The largest unit of the Taunus in terms of area, the Hintertaunus unit, is mainly composed of the black rock series of the Hunsrück slate and the Singhofen layers of the lower Ems tier, often greywacke-like sandstones as well as siltstone and claystone. Younger rocks are only exposed here in small occurrences near Usingen and on the very eastern edge of the Hintertaunus in the Oberkleen area. The geology of the Hintertaunus is not as well known as that of the Vortaunus and Hochtaunus in the south or that of the Lahnmulde in the north due to the often monotonous sandy and slate rocks that form only a few continuous reference horizons and provide hardly any index fossils.
The Hunsrück slate refers to a rock facies occurring mainly in the Hunsrück and Hintertaunus, which is composed of pure, mostly black mudstone and embedded sandstone banks and occurs in stratigraphically different positions in the Upper Siegen and in the Ems. The bulk of the Hunsrück Slate is attributed to the Elm Lower Stage. It is known for its exceptionally well-preserved fossils and is locally well suited for use as roofing slate. . In the western Hintertaunus, the almost sand-free Hunsrück slate can be easily separated from the sandy rocks of the Singhofen layers, in the east, rocks in the Facies of the Hunsrück slate recede. Transposed volcanic tuffes and ashes, the so-called porphyroides, are integrated into the Singhofen layers, they can be traced in some cases over several tens of kilometers.
The Middle Devonian to Lower Carboniferous of the Usinger Mulde is only about 250 m thick and strongly tectonically disturbed, in the Lahnmulde and Dillmulde typical rocks of this time such as Schalstein, Massenkalk and deck diabase absent here. The greywacke occurring here and at other places in the eastern Hintertaunus cannot or can hardly be distinguished from the Carboniferous Kulm greywacke and are considered by some scientists to be the remains of the ' Viewed 'Giessen Ceiling.
Geological structure
The strata of the Taunus were formed in the course of the Variscan Orogonese foliated, scaled and in the southwest-northeast strike saddles and troughs folded. The folds are predominantly northwestvergent. Widespread to the northwest, the rock series were thrust onto younger ones. Thus, at the fault zone of the Taunuskamm overthrust, the entire length of the southern Taunus nappe-like was thrust over rocks of the Younger Lower Devonian. The overthrust of the Giessen Nappe, which lies flat today, on rocks from the Hintertaunus and the Lahn Mulde is of even greater extent. Their rocks are not otherwise found in the Taunus, they must have been deposited south of the Vortaunus and were thrust at least 25 km over the Taunus and Hintertaunus, possibly significantly more due to large-scale considerations. In addition to the deformation of the layers, these are clearly metamorphic in the Vordertaunus – the latter clearly decreases to the north.
In later uplift phases between the Late Jurassic and the Tertiary, cross-fractures were applied perpendicular to strike. The rift valley of the Idstein Depression divides the Hintertaunus into an eastern and western part, while the Limburg Basin divides the Lahn Mulde as it sinks. Some of the fractures are now filled with quartz. The free-standing rocks of the Eschbacher cliffs near Usingen are such a quartz vein (Härtling) exposed by erosion. This vein, also known as the Usinger quartz vein, can be traced over a length of about 12 km, making it one of the longest German quartz veins after the Bavarian Pfahl.
Mineral Resources
The northwestern part of the Eastern Hintertaunus (Langhecker Lahntaunus), which leads to the Weilburger Lahntalgebiet, belongs geologically to the Lahnmulde and is rich in magmatism. of mineral resources from the Middle Devonian such as iron in the form of red ironstone with up to 50 percent iron content, or river ironstone with up to 35% iron, as well as silver ore, roofing slate and diabase. The ore was mined in numerous mines here, as in the Montan area Lahn-Dill area; some have been converted to visitor mines. The Mining that operated from the 17th to the 20th centuries has now ceased. In the eastern Taunus between Idstein in the west and Usingen in the east, from the late Middle Ages to the early 20th century, there was a large number of pits in which there was mining of varying intensity on post-varistic, i.e. only after the varistic orogeny ore veins formed in the late Jurassic and early Cretaceous. The last active lead and silver ore mine, the Heftrich pit with the Hannibal and Hasdrubal tunnels, was closed around 1924. Exploration drilling carried out by the Hessian State Office for Soil Research in the 1980s no longer provided any indication of deposits worth building.
Due to its hardness, the Taunus quartzite was often mined in the past, currently only one quarry near Köppern is in operation. Some limestone and diabase quarries are still in operation in the part of the Lahnmulde that belongs to the Taunus. In addition, there are countless smaller quarries to supply the local population with building blocks.
History
The Roman Limes was built across the Taunus. The Saalburg, a restored Roman castellum, now houses a museum.
After the fall of the Limes (in 259/260 AD), the Alamanni settled in the range and for this reason there are some Alemannic cemeteries in the southern foothills of the Taunus (Eschborn). This area of the Taunus became part of the Frankish confederation of Germanic tribes after the Battle of Tolbiac around 500 AD.
In past centuries the Taunus became famous among aristocrats for its therapeutic hot springs.
Certain towns in the area, such as Bad Homburg vor der Höhe with its Kurpark, have geothermal spas that were formerly renowned. Other spa towns in the Taunus range are Bad Schwalbach (formerly Langenschwalbach) mentioned in documents dating back to the 16th century, Bad Ems, one of the most reputed therapeutic spas in Germany since the 17th century, as well as Bad Weilbach, where a spring reached wide fame for some time. By the 19th century the most famous spa towns in the area were Wiesbaden, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Bad Nauheim, and Bad Soden am Taunus.

The Diocese of Norwich is an ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese of the Church of England that forms part of the Province of Canterbury in England.
History
It traces its roots in an unbroken line to the diocese of the Bishop of the East Angles founded in 630. In common with many Anglo-Saxon bishoprics it moved, in this case to Elmham in 673. After the Norman invasion it moved to Thetford in 1070 finally moving to Norwich in 1094.
It covers 573 parishes with 656 churches covering all of the county of Norfolk save for the extreme west beyond the River Great Ouse that is part of the diocese of Ely. It includes the deanery of Lothingland (the port of Lowestoft and its immediate hinterland) in the county of Suffolk. This totals an area over with a population (2008) of some 867,000.
Like most older dioceses, the territory has been gradually reduced. Until the formation of the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in 1914, Suffolk was included, and earlier other areas.
Organisation
Bishops
The Bishop of Norwich (Graham Usher) leads the diocese and is assisted by two suffragan bishops, the Bishop of Thetford (Ian Bishop) and the Bishop of Lynn (Jane Steen). The suffragan sees of Ipswich and of Thetford were both created by the Suffragan Bishops Act 1534 but went into abeyance after one incumbent; Thetford was next filled in 1894 and Ipswich in 1899. The See of Ipswich has been in abeyance since before the diocesan see including that city's name was created; a new second suffragan see – of Lynn – was therefore founded in 1963.
Alternative episcopal oversight (for parishes in the diocese which do not accept the ordination of women as priests) is provided by the provincial episcopal visitor, Norman Banks, Bishop suffragan of Richborough, who is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop of the diocese to facilitate his ministry. There are also seven retired bishops living in the diocese who are licensed as honorary assistant bishops:
2000–present: Malcolm Menin, retired Bishop suffragan of Knaresborough, lives in Lakenham.
2001–present: Richard Garrard, retired Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome & Archbishop's Representative to the Holy See and former Bishop of Penrith, lives in Upper Stoke and is also licensed in the Diocese in Europe.
2003–present: David Leake, retired Bishop of Argentina and former Presiding Bishop in the Southern Cone, lives in East Runton.
2004–present: Tony Foottit, retired Bishop suffragan of Lynn, lives in Reepham.
2006–present: Peter Fox, former Bishop of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea is Vicar of the Lakenham Group.
2008–present: David Gillett, retired Bishop suffragan of Bolton, lives in Diss.
2009–present: Lindsay Urwin, Administrator of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, is a former area Bishop of Horsham. He is also licensed in Ely, Peterborough and Chichester dioceses.
Archdeaconries and deaneries
The former deaneries of Ingworth and Sparham were combined in 2018. The deaneries of St Benet at Waxham and Tunstead were combined in 1996. The deanery of Hingham and Mitford was split between the deaneries of Dereham and Humbleyard in 1995.

Grey Rabbit, also known as Grey Rabbit Camper Tours, was an American company based in the San Francisco Bay Area that operated long-distance bus service from 1971 to 1983. It was one of a few small, long-distance bus companies established in the U.S. in the 1970s that specialized in inexpensive, no-frills, cross-country bus service using old secondhand buses and attracting counterculture passengers. It was the first, and was also the biggest, best-known, and "most successful" of them in its first several years. A Washington Post columnist in 1978 referred to Grey Rabbit as "the granddaddy" of the five such "alternative" bus companies existing at that time, also known as "underground" bus companies and "hippie bus" companies. It operated mainly in two areas: between California and the Pacific Northwest and on a cross-country route between San Francisco and New York. Green Tortoise, which was established in 1973 and named after Grey Rabbit, became Grey Rabbit's main competition in the small field, and eventually bought it out.
History
Founded in 1971 by Lester Rall (born c.1940) with a single Volkswagen bus, the service was originally known as the Traveling Magical Universe and operated only along the Pacific Coast. Rall eventually named the service Grey Rabbit, which one writer described as "a reference to the animal used as 'bait' in dog races, a wry allusion to [Rall's] relationship with the Greyhound Bus Company". Another writer said the name was chosen so that it would appear "next to Greyhound in the phone book".
In 1972, Rall acquired an old school bus and, in 1973, three secondhand Greyhound buses. By that time, Grey Rabbit had established regular weekly cross-country service between San Francisco and New York, with the New York trips subsequently being extended to Boston. Regular service also operating between the Bay Area and Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Within a few years, the company's fleet of buses had grown to 10. A handful of similar but smaller "alternative bus" companies were launched in the 1970s, based on Grey Rabbit's example, and they were sometimes collectively referred to as "Grey Rabbits". Typically operating without a commercial license and often with just a single bus, their names included The Lame Duck, Blue Goose, The Red Bus and the Iron Pony. All but Grey Rabbit and Green Tortoise were out of business by 1982.
The buses that provided the service were old, secondhand transit buses or highway coaches that were modified inside, with almost all passenger seats removed and replaced by beds. They lacked bathrooms. In 1977, the schedule included two San Francisco–New York–Boston trips per week in each direction, and the journey took three or four days. There were weekly departures from the Bay Area north to Vancouver, B.C., and south to Los Angeles. As of 1977, the company had four ticket outlets in the Bay Area. In addition to its low fares, about half those of Greyhound, another feature that attracted some riders was the casual atmosphere found on the Grey Rabbit and other "hippie bus" lines of the 1970s, in which conversation and interaction between riders who were strangers before boarding was welcomed in a way not commonly seen on conventional long-distance bus services.
For its first 10 years, Grey Rabbit operated without having a license from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) permitting interstate operation—"in violation of the law, a sort of 'guerilla Greyhound'", a reporter for the Eugene Register-Guard wrote. In 1976, the San Francisco Examiner wrote that Grey Rabbit "and five or six other alternative bus operators ... have kept a safe jump or two ahead of the Interstate Commerce Commission, local authorities and the bus companies – Greyhound and Trailways – who represent everything the Grey Rabbits and their passengers don't". The Register-Guard wrote that Rall employed various tactics to avoid trouble with authorities, such as "schooling passengers to say they were friends on an outing rather than riders on a for-hire bus" or "creating the Church of World Community Consciousness, selling the buses to the church, ordaining the drivers as 'ministers' and calling the fares 'donations'." The Church of World Community Consciousness was recognized only in Oregon. Chief competitor Green Tortoise was also operating without a license from the ICC at that time, doing so for its first seven years, until obtaining a license in 1981.
In June 1981, the ICC granted Grey Rabbit a temporary permit, and Lester Rall attempted to obtain a permanent one. Meanwhile, in 1981, the company was operating only between San Francisco and Seattle, no longer cross-country, and its fleet of buses numbered five, all about 25 years old. Grey Rabbit was based in Berkeley, California, at that time. Its fare for a trip between San Francisco and Eugene was $35, which was only half the price that mainstream carriers Greyhound and Trailways were charging for the same trip at that time. Federal deregulation of long-distance bus service in 1982 reduced or removed the remaining restrictions on the company's ability to operate legally.
The U.S. deregulation of airlines that was put into effect in the late 1970s led to major reductions in prices for air travel. Grey Rabbit and similar companies were unable to compete, even for low-budget travelers. Keeping the elderly buses running was also an ongoing challenge. Grey Rabbit ceased operation in 1983, and was acquired by Green Tortoise, who also acquired the rights to the name (but did not use them).

Charles Harry Twist (1855 – 8 March 1935) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in four first-class matches for Wellington from 1882 to 1884.
Twist was born in Lancashire and moved to New Zealand in 1879, settling in Wellington. Appointed by his fellow cricketers in 1882, he worked as the groundsman at the Basin Reserve for 30 years, establishing a reputation for the quality of his pitches.
Twist was a batsman. Two of his first-class matches were played on his own pitch at the Basin Reserve, but his most successful match was in Christchurch at Lancaster Park against Canterbury in April 1884: he scored 34 out of Wellington's first innings total of 71, when he "stemmed the tide of adversity and showed good defence, as well as hitting powers" and was run out after falling over, and followed with 35 in the second innings. He umpired two first-class matches at the Basin Reserve in 1885.
Twist married Elizabeth Lee in Wellington in July 1884. She died in October 1934, and he died at his home in March 1935. They were survived by a daughter and a son.

Sylvia Patterson (born 8 March 1965) is a Scottish author and music journalist. A former contributor to Smash Hits and the NME, she is the author of the memoirs I'm Not With The Band and Same Old Girl.
Life
Patterson grew up in Perth, Scotland, the youngest of five children. Her father, an accountant, had been a Japanese prisoner of war on the Burma railway. Her mother worked as a psychiatric nurse.
Career
Her writing career began straight from school working on various magazines for Dundee publisher D.C. Thomson. In February 1986 she moved to London after successfully applying for a staff writer job on her favourite magazine, Smash Hits. Inspired by her mentor, Tom Hibbert, who interviewed her for the job, Patterson was a key contributor in shaping the magazine's much-celebrated irreverent, comic style during its mid- to late-1980s sales peak of a million copies a fortnight. By the early 1990s, Patterson had left Smash Hits to work freelance, going on to become a prolific contributor to the NME, The Face and, by the late 2000s, Q magazine, as well as writing for broadsheets and women’s magazines including Glamour, The Guardian, the Sunday Times and as a weekly columnist for Scotland’s Sunday Herald.
As one of the most prominent female pop journalists of her generation, Patterson is often cited as an inspiration by those who followed her, including Miranda Sawyer (who started at Smash Hits two years after Patterson in 1988), Caitlin Moran and Jude Rogers. Her radio and TV appearances include BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour , BBC4's Top Of The Pops: The Story of 1986, and BBC1's The One Show as part of its 2018 retrospective Smash Hits celebration.
In 2016 she published her memoir I'm Not With The Band (its title a play on Pamela Des Barres’ I'm With The Band). It follows Patterson’s journalistic career from the 1980s to the present (revisiting her classic interviews with Madonna, Prince, Eminem, Beyonce, George Michael, Kylie Minogue, Richey Edwards, Amy Winehouse and others) as well as her personal experiences growing up as the child of an alcoholic parent, multiple miscarriages and financial insecurity in the face of the gradual collapse of the music magazine industry itself. The book was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award, the Penderyn Music Book Award and the NME Awards Best Book Of The Year, eventually winning BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Nightingale's Book Of The Year.
Her second memoir, Same Old Girl, was published in April 2023. Triggered by Patterson's diagnosis of breast cancer in late 2019, it is described as an "unflinching, poignant and gallows-funny odyssey through the mid-life trials we all face".
Other than her own books, Patterson is also the ghost-writer of My Amy: The Life We Shared, the memoir of Amy Winehouse's best friend Tyler James, a 2021 Sunday Times Book of the Year.

Cecilia Parker (April 26, 1914 – July 25, 1993) was a Canadian-born American film actress. She was best known for portraying Marian Hardy, the sister of Andy Hardy in eleven of the Andy Hardy film series.
Early life and career
Cecilia Parker was born in Fort William, Ontario, Canada on April 26, 1914. She was brought to southern California as a child by her mother Mrs. Naudy Anna Parker. Her father was from England as English soldier. Parker graduated from the Convent of the Immaculate Heart in Hollywood in Los Angeles in 1931. At the time she resided with her parents, Mr & Mrs. Thomas J. Parker, at 546 North Fuller Street in Los Angeles, California. Parker was selected from among a group of extras to attend the Fox Film studio training school for younger players.
Soon she was selected to play opposite George O'Brien in The Rainbow Trail (1932). The Rainbow Trail, written by Zane Grey, was the novelist's sequel to Riders of the Purple Sage. Parker starred with Tom Tyler and Carmelita Geraghty in a 1932-1933 movie serial produced by Universal Pictures entitled Jungle Mystery. In July 1933, she was chosen to play the heroine in the Ken Maynard western, The Trail Drive (1933). That same year, she was John Wayne's leading lady in one of the first singing cowboy movies, Riders of Destiny, and also appeared in Rainbow Ranch.
After playing the sister of Greta Garbo in 1934's The Painted Veil, Parker signed a seven-year contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The studio wanted a blonde who resembled Garbo as a young girl. Her new contract called for a starting salary of $75 a week and scales up to $1000 a week for the seventh year.
In November 1935, Parker purchased a new home in Beverly Hills, California. The following year she joined the ballet school of Dave Gould at MGM, along with Maureen O'Sullivan. By the fall of 1936, Parker was studying singing.
She played Marian Hardy in the extremely popular Andy Hardy film series in the late 1930s and early 1940s. She was in the original Hardy film, A Family Affair, in 1937. Mickey Rooney played Andy Hardy in the series, supported by Lewis Stone, Ann Rutherford, and Fay Holden. The movies were directed by George B. Seitz. Her character, Marian, appeared in most of the films, and her romances were a recurring feature of the series.
Though she and the character she played were absent from the last two Andy Hardy films of the 1940s, she came out of retirement to play Marian Hardy in one more movie, in 1958. Andy Hardy Comes Home was an attempt to revive and update the series, but it was not a success. Parker then returned to the real estate business that she and her husband operated in Ventura, California and she acted rarely, thereafter.
Personal life
Parker's sister, Linda, was an actress who appeared in a number of uncredited roles in the early 1930s. Both sisters once tested for the same part in David Copperfield. Parker was a close friend of actress Anne Shirley. During the mid-1930s the two kept a standing dinner date on Thursday nights.
In 1938 she married actor Robert Baldwin, who helped her to become a naturalized American citizen in 1940.
Death
On July 25, 1993, Parker died age of 79 after what The New York Times called "a long illness". She was survived by her husband, a daughter, two sons, five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Her husband died in 1996.

// Some notes on page states. A page can be in one of four major states:
// 1) Active.
// 2) Full.
// 3) Empty.
// 4) Decommitted.
// An active page has available free slots. A full page has no free slots. An
// empty page has no free slots, and a decommitted page is an empty page that
// had its backing memory released back to the system.
// There are two linked lists tracking the pages. The "active page" list is an
// approximation of a list of active pages. It is an approximation because
// full, empty and decommitted pages may briefly be present in the list until
// we next do a scan over it.
// The "empty page" list is an accurate list of pages which are either empty
// or decommitted.
//
// The significant page transitions are:
// - free() will detect when a full page has a slot free()'d and immediately
// return the page to the head of the active list.
// - free() will detect when a page is fully emptied. It _may_ add it to the
// empty list or it _may_ leave it on the active list until a future list scan.
// - malloc() _may_ scan the active page list in order to fulfil the request.
// If it does this, full, empty and decommitted pages encountered will be

Sèleco S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of consumer electronics.
History
Sèleco was born in 1965 as a spin-off from the home appliances maker Zanussi.
In the first years of its life, Sèleco produced mostly black and white televisions with the Zanussi or Rex brand.
The company was put up for sale in 1984, and was acquired by Gian Mario Rossignolo. He first became chairman and then main stockholder.
During the 1980s, the company launched worldwide marketing campaigns and began sponsoring some of the most famous Italian soccer teams, such as S.S. Lazio.
During the '90s, the company was mainly concentrated on the production of pay-TV decoders, but in 1993 suffered from a loss of competitiveness. With the intent to reshape its position and to get gave new life to the company, Gian Mario Rossignolo bought Brionvega from the Brion family, the founder.
This attempt went nowhere, so the company was forced to declare failure in 1997. During the years, Sèleco has passed through ups and downs, and at the end it was overcome by the continuous changes in the electronics world.
After the melt-down, the company and all its interests were bought by the Formenti family. This gave rise to the Sèleco-Formenti Group, owner of the rights for the brands Sèleco, Rex, Phonola, Imperial, Stern, Phoenix, Televideon, Kerion and Webrik.
The Formenti family re-launched the company with the production of CRT-TVs. In 2000, the company suffered a strong crisis, following the price dumping made by Turkish manufacturers. This led to end of the Sèleco and Brionvega story, as the Sèleco-Formenti Group was forced to liquidation.
In 2006, Trademark property were entrusted to Super//Fluo except for the Brionvega brand (bought by Sim2 Multimedia), up to the bankruptcy of company, after which Sèleco went to Selek Technology.
In December 2016, Sèleco was acquired by Twenty S.p.A., which successively changed its name to Sèleco S.p.A., It was revealed that the parent company of Sèleco S.p.A. was owned by Maria Mancini, a woman born in 1939.
Sèleco also acquired a football club Pro Piacenza in June 2018.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? New Zealand was a New Zealand game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show was hosted by Mike Hosking. The main goal of the game was to win one million New Zealand dollars by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. There were four "lifelines". It was broadcast on the TVNZ station TV ONE. The show was taped in Melbourne, Australia on the set of the Australian version of the show.
Notable history
One contestant, Kristin Castle, made New Zealand television history after walking away with NZ$250,000, the highest amount of money ever given to a single person on New Zealand television. The show received wide media coverage after the first ever contestant on the show, Courtney Washington, walked away with nothing after incorrectly answering the question about BMW supplying New Zealand's new fleet of ministerial limousines.
Rules
As in the syndicated United States' version, contestants were selected for the show through a qualifying test instead of the traditional "Fastest Finger First" as seen on the British version. Contestants sit in the "Hot Seat" and are asked increasingly difficult general knowledge questions by the host. Questions are multiple choice and contestants choose between a possible four answers, sometimes with the aid of lifelines. On answering a question correctly the contestant plays for a bigger sum of money, getting ever closer to the maximum amount of one million dollars.
The traditional 15-question money tree was used and there was no clock.
The complete sequence of prizes is as follows. Guaranteed safe levels, where the contestant is guaranteed this amount of money to take home, regardless of any subsequent questions they may get wrong, are in bold.
The contestants' run ends when they either answer a question incorrectly, decide to not answer a question and walk away with their prize money, or if they answer all 15 questions correctly (winning $1 million).
Lifelines
If at any point the contestants are unsure of the answer to a question, they use one or more "lifelines". After using lifelines, contestants can either answer the question, use another lifeline, or walk away and keep the money (except for the Switch lifeline).
50/50: The contestant asks the host to have the computer randomly eliminate two of the incorrect answer choices, leaving the contestant with a choice between the correct answer and one incorrect one.
Phone a Friend: Contestants may call one of up to three prearranged friends. The contestant must provide the three friends' names and phone numbers in advance. The contestant has thirty seconds to read the four choices to the friend, who must select an answer before the time runs out. Phone-a-friends often express their certainty as a percentage (I am 80% sure it's C).
Ask the Audience: The contestant polls the studio audience to ask them which answer they believe is correct. Members of the studio audience indicate their choices using an audience response system.

A pelvic digit, pelvic finger, or pelvic rib is a rare congenital abnormality in humans, in which bone tissue develops in the soft tissue near the pelvis, resembling a rib or finger and often divided into one or more segments with pseudo-articulations. Pelvic digits are typically benign and asymptomatic, and are usually discovered accidentally. Approximately 41 cases have been reported.
The pelvic digit was first reported by D. Sullivan and W.S. Cornwell in 1974. Pelvic digits may be located at any level of the pelvis, the lower ribs, or even the anterior abdominal wall. It is theorized that pelvic digit anomalies arise during the mesenchymal stage of bone growth, within the first six weeks of embryogenesis. Their formation may result from a failure of the primordium of the coccyx to fuse to the vertebral column, leading to the independent development of a proto-rib structure.

Route 104 is a numbered state highway in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It runs from US 44 in North Providence to Worrall Street in Downtown Woonsocket. The route connects the cities of Providence and Woonsocket via the town center of Smithfield.
Route description
Route 104 begins as Waterman Avenue at an intersection with US 44 in North Providence. It proceeds northwest into the town of Smithfield. The road name changes to Farnum Pike as the route passes through the Georgiaville section of the town. The route soon crosses under I-295 without an interchange. Route 104 continues its northwest path through Smithfield center and eventually enters the town of North Smithfield. In North Smithfield, it turns north and intersects Route 7. Beyond the Route 7 junction, Route 104 shifts to Greenville Road, which bends eastward at Primrose Pond. Route 104 then reaches the city of Woonsocket, going along Providence Street and Main Street. State maintenance of the road ends at the intersection with Route 146A at the city line but signage for Route 104 continues into downtown Woonsocket, ending at Worrall Street.
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation Pavement Log shows Route 104 ending at the corner of Providence Street and South Main Street in Woonsocket. Signage, however, clearly shows Route 104 ending at Worrall Street. Some of this signage was put up by the City, some was put up by the State. Some old signage shows Route 104 continuing along Clinton Street (northbound) and Worrall Street and Social Street (southbound) to end at Route 126, but most of the southbound signs now say TO 104.
History
In 1808, a private toll road was built between North Providence and Smithfield known as the Farnum and Providence Turnpike along what is now the Farnum Pike portion of modern Route 104. In 1873 the State of Rhode Island purchased the road for $500 from the private owners and made the road free. Route 104 was designated in 1923 along the Farnum turnpike alignment with extensions on both ends into downtown Providence and downtown Woonsocket. In Woonsocket, the route originally ended at Route 126 (Cumberland Street). In Providence, the old route used Woonasquatucket Avenue and Manton Avenue to end at Route 128.

Heath Park Halt was a railway station in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire in England, UK. It was the terminus for passenger services on the Nickey line, a branch line which ran from into Hemel Hempstead town centre. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1947, and the line through the station was closed completely in 1959.
The station was located on an embankment above the junction of Station Road and Corner Hall Road. Today, nothing of the station or the embankment remains; the site it occupied lies directly opposite the former Kodak headquarters building.
History
The Nicky Line was opened in 1877 to provide a town-centre railway link from Hemel Hempstead to the Midland Main Line. Hemel Hempstead's closest station, Boxmoor station, was located a mile outside the town centre. The London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) line which opened in 1838 had been forced to follow a route which bypassed the town by a mile after resistance to the railway by influential local landowners, and the town council sought to provide a more convenient station for the municipality. After several years of failed proposals, the Hemel Hempstead and London and Birmingham Railway company failed financially and in the end the project to build a line into the town centre was rescued by the Midland Railway company who agreed to fund the project.
Originally the line terminated at Hemel Hempsted (Midland) but demand for coal supplies to Duckhall Gasworks meant that a goods service was able to run almost as far as the main line at Boxmoor. Passenger services were extended, but not as far as Boxmoor, and Heath Park Halt opened in 1905, becoming the new passenger terminus.
The station consisted of a single timber platform on an embankment, on the west side of the line between two rail bridges over Station Road and Corner Hall Road. A goods yard, Cotrerells Siding, veered north from the halt to Boxmoor Iron Works. An iron gas lamp stood opposite the station, outside the Heath Park Hotel, which still stands today.
South of Heath Park Halt, the Nicky Line crossed the moor along an embankment, crossing the Grand Junction Canal and the London Road (today's A41 road) to the gasworks. A connection was not with the West Coast Main Line at Boxmoor due to rivalry between the Midland Railway and the LNWR (who took over the L&BR in 1846), who competed for passengers for many years. The LNWR operated a competing bus from Hemel town centre to Boxmoor to "poach" passengers for its main line service to . After the two competitors were merged into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), Nickey Line passenger services were reduced and more investment was put into the bus service which was extended to Harpenden.
In 1920, the townspeople of Hemel Hempstead were presented with a battlefield tank by the National War Savings Committee in recognition of their contribution to the war effort during World War I. The tank was delivered to Heath Park railway depot and placed on a plinth outside the Heath Park Hotel. It remained on public display until the outbreak of World War II, when it was removed and broken up for scrap metal.
Decline and closure
Eventually the road bus service prevailed; Nickey Line passenger trains were "temporarily" suspended during the national coal shortage of 1947 and were never resumed, and the last passenger service on the Nickey Line ran on 16 June 1947. The Nickey Line, now a part of British Railways, was a declining goods branch line.
Hemel Hempstead was designated as a New Town and underwent major redevelopment in the 1950s and 1960s. The Marlowes railway viaduct over the town centre was demolished on 2 July 1960 along with Heath Park Halt. Cuttings were filled in, embankments flattened and commercial buildings and housing estates were built on the former railway land.
Only the northernmost stretch of track between Cupid Green (north of Godwin's Halt) and Harpenden remained in goods operation, having been leased by BR to the Hemelite concrete company in 1968. The Midland Main Line junction at Harpenden was finally severed in 1979 and the last part of the Nickey Line was lifted up in 1982.

Greenough is a historical settlement situated in a floodplain (the Greenough Flats) 400 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia and 24 kilometres south of Geraldton on the Brand Highway. The settlement's historical buildings are mostly built of local limestone and date to the second half of the 19th century. A sizeable collection of these are owned and managed by the National Trust of Australia. A remarkable feature of the Greenough Flats is its windswept trees, some of which are bent 90 degrees due to the prevailing coastal winds.
The mouth of the Greenough River is about 10 km to the north of the town.
History
Aboriginal
The fertile land was once the home of the Yamatji people, who lived a fairly sedentary life and subsisted on fish and water fowl from the river mouth, shell-fish from the coast and game from the hills. They also cultivated ajeca, a yam-like plant on the river flats.
A popular camping ground was what is now known as "The Bootenal Springs". It is a permanent source of water and became a place of conflict between the Aboriginal people and the first European settlers. Although no evidence of the conflict remains, the site has since been interpreted to remind people of what took place.
European
The area was first explored by George Edward Grey in 1839, after which he named the area after Sir George Bellas Greenough, the president of the Royal Geographical Society in London. Grey claimed that the area could become "the granary of Western Australia".
In 1851 Augustus Gregory surveyed 30,000 acres (120 km²) of land in the region which became known as the Greenough Flats. That was subdivided into 20- and lots with the view to encouraging English settlers who would be more used to the relatively small (by Australian standards) farm sizes. Within a few years, it had developed into a highly successful wheat growing area with a population of over 1,000. Several community centres were created, notably North Greenough, Central Greenough (initially focused on Company Road between Gray's Store and the Hampton Arms Hotel), South Greenough and Bookara.
A series of disasters starting with a major cyclone in 1872 and major flooding in 1888, as well as the discovery of gold in the goldfields, caused the gradual decline and abandonment of the settlement so that by 1900 many of the settlers had left the area, their small farmlets becoming incorporated into larger farming properties. Substantial stone buildings, erected by the early colonists in anticipation of population growth, were underutilised or abandoned. During the course of the 20th century many of these buildings became derelict or fell into ruin. In the years after World War II, motorized transport, television and decline in religious observance caused local institutions to lose their relevance, resulting in the closure of local schools, churches, the Presentation Convent, and police complex. In 2016 the Anglican and Catholic Churches in Central Greenough were the only community institutions established in the 19th century that continued to have an active membership. The Hampton Arms also continues to provide for the social needs of the community.
Following World War II, the historic heritage value of the Greenough Flats gradually came to be recognised. In 1966 the Geraldton Historical Society opened the first local history museum in the Mid West, in the former Maley family homestead at North Greenough. Soon after, the National Trust of Western Australia carried out a survey of heritage places in the region; the work was led by architect and planner Margaret Feilman. The National Trust also began acquiring historic properties on the Greenough Flats, many of which were gifted, with the object of ensuring their conservation. Almost the entire hamlet at Central Greenough was acquired, as well as nearby Clinch's Mill and the miller's residence, Greenough Hotel, Gray's Store, the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Temperance Lodge (ruin) and the Anglican Chapel at South Greenough. In the decades that followed, the National Trust invested substantial funds in these places' conservation, work which included the preparation of conservation management plans and archaeological research. The "Greenough Hamlet" has subsequently become a significant heritage tourism destination in the mid-west region. A new Visitor Information Centre was developed at the Greenough Hamlet around 2000.
In 1993, Greenough made national news headlines when a woman and her three young children of this small community were murdered. The killing later featured on the Australian television show Crime Investigation Australia.
On 16 February 1999, a rare annular solar eclipse of magnitude 0.9906 was visible from the area.
In 2006, floodwaters on the Greenough River undermined and caused the collapse of one of the stone pylons of Maley's bridge in Central Greenough. The bridge, which is both historically significant and important for local vehicular movement, was subsequently restored.
In 2013, a disastrous fire gutted Maley's mill and store, one of Greenough's more significant heritage buildings.
Places of natural and cultural significance
Places marked NT are owned and/or managed by the National Trust.
Leaning tree, west side of Brand Highway north of the Greenough Hamlet.
Maley's Mill, store and miller's residence - the miller's residence is now a local museum operated by the Community Group of Greenough. The mill is a ruin following a disastrous fire in 2013.
Greenough cemetery - the final resting place for many of Greenough's pioneers, and a cemetery still used by the community.
Greenough Hotel (NT) - a former hotel, built in two parts and single storey. Now a stabilised ruin.
Clinch's Mill (NT) and Cliff Grange (NT) - a partly ruined flour mill and large house of vernacular form, located north-west of the hamlet.

The major buildings are the school, police complex, Presentation Convent, St Peter's Roman Catholic Church (not managed by NT), roads board offices, and St Catherine's Anglican Church and Hall. Since becoming a tourist attraction in the 1980s, the hamlet has been stripped of the many ephemeral structures that one would expect to see in a township, including such things as fences, washing lines, water tanks, patches of garden, and sheds; and is conspicuously devoid of the residents, animals and vehicles that would once have imbued the place with life.
Maley's Bridge (NT) - a convict built bridge of stone piers and timber lintels, forming the southern link between the Brand Highway and Company Road.
Stone barn (NT) and barn cottage (NT) - a pair of buildings situated immediately south-west of Maley's bridge, typical of the modest cottages and outbuildings erected on small holdings on the Greenough Flats during the 1850s.
Mount Pleasant - a farmhouse that was the home of the Waldeck family, leading members of the local Wesleyan Methodist community.
Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (NT) - a church building that has for some time been a ruin without roof cladding, currently devoid of interior fittings. In its ruinous state, the church has featured in many publications documenting Australia's historic heritage - often pictured with the bent tree opposite Gray's Store in the foreground.
Gray's Store (NT) - a colonial store with adjoining two-storey residence. The store has a large signboard on the northern wall, on which the ghosted form of the sign's original graphics can still be discerned in certain light conditions. Behind the store is an unusual water cistern built of stone with a vaulted roof.
Temperance Lodge (NT) - the stone ruins of a hall that provided an alternative social venue for those who had sworn themselves off alcohol. It is also known locally as the Certainly Not!. An old well is located near to the lodge.
Hampton Arms Inn - a two-storey colonial inn, still trading with bar, restaurant and accommodation.
St James Church (NT) - a small church building on the west side of Brand Highway in South Greenough.
Tourist attractions (wildlife park)

Lohamei HaGeta'ot (, lit. The Ghetto Fighters) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the western Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In it had a population of .
History
The kibbutz was founded by Holocaust survivors in 1949 on the coastal highway between Acre and Nahariya, on the site of an abandoned British Army base and the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Sumayriyya. Its founding members include surviving fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (notably Yitzhak Zuckerman, ŻOB deputy commander), as well as former Jewish partisans and other Holocaust survivors. Its name commemorates the Jews who fought the Nazis.
Historian Tom Segev describes Zvi Dror's four-volume history of the lives of the Holocaust survivors who founded the kibbutz as one of the most important books ever written about Holocaust survivors in Israel." Anita Shapira, who translates the title as "Testimony pages," describes Dror's book as "one of the first projects to coax the mute to speak" about the Holocaust.
Leon Uris spent a week interviewing residents of the kibbutz and recording their experiences as part of his research for the novel Exodus.
Economy
In the mid-1980s the kibbutz acquired the Tivall vegetarian food products factory, which has become a mainstay of its income. Other branches include a large dairy and agriculture and a bed and breakfast. The kibbutz is currently undergoing a process of privatization. It operates a bed and breakfast for tourists to the area.
Archaeology
Alongside the kibbutz are the extensive remains of an aqueduct which supplied water to Acre some 6 km away, until 1948. The aqueduct was originally built at the end of the 18th century by Jezzar Pasha, the Ottoman ruler of Acre, but was completely rebuilt by his successor, Suleiman, in 1814.
Museum
The kibbutz operates the Ghetto Fighters' House, a history museum commemorating those who fought the Nazis. Adjacent to the museum is a large amphitheater used frequently for concerts, assemblies, and ceremonies hosted by the museum.

Double Dagger is a post-punk trio from Baltimore, Maryland composed of only drums, vocals, and a very loud bass guitar which fills the space a guitar would normally take. Vocalist Nolen Strals and bassist Bruce Willen also comprised the graphic design team Post Typography, which has done work for some very high-profile clients, including The New York Times. Hence, Double Dagger made a habit of referring to their style of post-hardcore as "graphicdesigncore" early in their career. In October 2011, Double Dagger officially broke up after a small final tour, but has since reunited occasionally for one-off shows.
History
Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen initially met while they were students at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. There, Strals and Willen started a group called League of Death, which was initially conceived as a heavy metal outfit, but later became a hardcore band. League of Death broke up in 2002 after a final show with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, giving rise to Double Dagger, as a self-described "graphicdesigncore" band, with several songs referencing design and typographic elements on their first releases (the band itself was named after the typographic symbol ‡, used for footnotes). Brian Dubin, who had previously played bass in Baltimore rock band Stars of the Dogon and guitar in Baltimore's beloved Charm City Suicides during their final year, joined the new band as a drummer and played on the bands' first few recordings, including their self-titled debut album. He left in 2005 and was replaced by Denny Bowen, then of Yukon, formerly of the band Economist, with whom Double Dagger had released a split single in 2003.
During their 9-year run, Double Dagger played with a number of high-profile acts, including Pere Ubu, Lightning Bolt, The Ex, The Buzzcocks, The Jesus Lizard, and Matt & Kim. They have released several EPs, 7" singles, and three full length albums. The band earned considerable critical praise as well, as evinced by positive reviews in publications such as The Washington Post, Punk Planet, Baltimore City Paper and Rolling Stone. Citing time restraints and "chaotic personal lifes," Double Dagger announced they would break up following a brief tour of the eastern United States, and a final show in their hometown of Baltimore. Bowen later appeared in Roomrunner and performed live with Dan Deacon and Future Islands, Willen appears in Peals alongside of William Cashion of Future Islands, and Strals appears in Pure Junk and Second Best Westerns.
In 2021, 10 years since their breakup, Double Dagger reunited for two shows in Baltimore. One at The Ottobar on October 15 and one at Current Gallery on October 16. Concurrently, they also released Sophisticated Urban Living (Contemporary Conveniences Edition), an EP of unreleased alternate recordings made in 2008.

The Chrysler Pacifica was a concept luxury minivan created by DaimlerChrysler under the Chrysler marque in 1999. The Pacifica was built in commemoration of the Chrysler minivan's 15th anniversary and was intended to be a more upscale variant of the Town & Country with an LHS inspired front fascia and a raised roof, which included a skylight and overhead storage bins. It could seat up to six, with four front and rear captain's chairs and fold-out jump seats on each of the rear seats. The 2nd row seats featured power footrests. The concept also had a golf bag rack in the trunk space that could hold up to four golf bags.
The name was eventually applied to a crossover, itself inspired by the Chrysler Citadel concept, which was produced from 2003 to 2008 and is currently being used on the replacement for the Town & Country minivan.

Plandome is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in Plandome, New York. It is located off Stonytown Road and Rockwood Road, near West Circle Drive and Colonial Drive.
History
Plandome station was built in 1909, and as such was the last station to be built on the Port Washington Branch until the World's Fair station opened in Queens in 1939. The track was first laid in 1898 with the building of the Manhasset Viaduct, which allowed for the extension of the railroad line from Great Neck to Port Washington; the stone bridge carrying the track over Stonytown Road was built as part of this extension. Plandome was a flag stop on the extended line until the station was built in 1909.
The original station house burned in a fire set by vandals in January 1987. The Plandome Fire Department had historically used the station for drill exercises, so had an advantage if and when an actual fire occurred there. By 1990, it was rebuilt to more modern standards with turn-of-the-century characteristics.
The station also serves as the location of the Plandome Branch of the United States Postal Service. The post office was originally located on the second floor of the station, adjacent to the small waiting room, along the tracks until the fire. After the station was rebuilt, it was rebuilt, as well, and was relocated to street-level.
In the early 2000s, a bus owned by the Long Island Rail Road powered by natural gas skimmed the top of the low bridge near the station, knocking off the top of its roof. The gas, carried in the roof, did not explode, and damage was minimal.
Station layout
This station has one 10-car-long side platform east of the track.

The Cool Ghoul of northeastern Ohio was played by George Cavender. The show was popular from the 1970s to the 90s, appearing on several stations in the area. The first was WJAN-TV 17 in Canton, Ohio, WOAC-TV 67 and in Cleveland on WOIO-TV 19.
George had been an aficionado of classic Universal Monsters horror films since his father brought home his first copy of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine in 1960. Cavender studied the careers of Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, and Vincent Price to name a few. And it was a chance meeting of Vincent Price, while he was on a lecture tour, that led Cavender to revive the show in 1984 on WOAC-TV.
One of his favorite mentors was Ghoulardi, an early 60s Horror Host in Cleveland, Ohio.
George's father was killed in a car accident in 1965 and he credits the horror host Ghoulardi with getting him through the ordeal.
His fascination with movies didn't stop with horror. He also developed a love for theater and, with the encouragement of his mother; he starred in many theatrical productions throughout High School, College, and Community Theater playing roles as diverse as Mathew Harrison Brady in Inherit the Wind, the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, and Sherlock Holmes in a play of the same title.
In 1971 at the age of 16, George Cavender got his first chance to play the role of The Cool Ghoul when he made an appointment with the Station Manager of WJAN-TV. He drew posters of the set, had an outline of the show and made his presentation. After he was done there was a long silence. The Station Manager, Don Crump, leaned over the desk and said “When can you start?” Startled at the answer, George said “Give me a week.”
Having so little time, and having lived in Cincinnati for a few years, he was a fan of The Cool Ghoul in that area, played and created by Dick Von Hoene. He called him at WXIX-TV and explained the situation. Amused by George's age, he gave him permission to use his persona. Over the years the persona has undergone a massive transformation. The only resemblance to the Cincinnati version of The Cool Ghoul is the make-up and hair color, but George has always been very appreciative of Dick Von Hoene, giving him the opportunity to get his start.
After WJAN switched to religions programming, Cavender moved to WOAC channel 67. After more than a decade on that station, he left to move to WOIO-TV, channel 19. His place at WOAC was taken by a technician and frequent extra, Keven Scarpino, who took on the persona of the Son of Ghoul.
In a bit of irony, after spending time at WOIO-TV as IT Manager, he was transferred to WXIX-TV in Cincinnati, Von Hoene's station and a sister station of WOIO. There, worked with Dick Von Hoene's brother.
George Cavender's Cool Ghoul worked with many charities including The Jerry Lewis Telethon, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Bowling for Kids, to name a few.
Personal
Cavender is a native of Canton, Ohio. Home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He attended Kent State University and the University of Cincinnati majoring in Theater. Recently he has hosted the show, during the Halloween season, on Warner Cable of Northeastern Ohio and is currently planning a once a month webcast on his site, http://www.ghoul.tv.

The KAI LCH (Light Civil Helicopter, ) is a medium-sized twin-engined civil helicopter manufactured by the South Korean aerospace manufacturer Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). It is derived from the Eurocopter EC155 and is closely related to the Light Armed Helicopter (LAH), a militarised rotorcraft intended for battlefield operations.
Development of the LCH commenced in June 2015 with an agreement between the multinational rotorcraft manufacturer Airbus Helicopters and KAI under which the former committed to transferring production of the EC155 to the latter, while the two companies would jointly market, sell, and develop the type for the international market. On 24 July 2018, the first prototype LCH made its maiden flight in Marignane, France. On 5 December 2019, the second prototype made its first flight from Sacheon, South Korea. During September 2022, type certification for the LCH was received from the South Korean aviation authorities; the first production rotorcraft was delivered in the following month.
History
During June 2015, it was announced that the multinational rotorcraft manufacturer Airbus Helicopters and the South Korean aerospace giant Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) had signed contracts for the transfer principle manufacturing activity for the Eurocopter EC155, a medium-sized helicopter, from France to South Korea. Under the terms of the agreement between the two companies, KAI shall become the sole manufacturer of the type after 2018, while both companies shall be jointly engaged in the international marketing, sales, and further development of the rotorcraft. Furthermore, the EC155 would be become the basis for two new helicopters produced by KAI: the Light Civil Helicopter (LCH) and Light Armed Helicopter (LAH), which shall feature numerous improvements, including a new cockpit, improved gearbox, and redesigned rotor blades.
Reportedly, the development of the LCH had $460 million of funding allocation, $293 million of which was sourced from the South Korean government while the remainder has been provided by the various private companies involved in the programme. At the time of the partnership announcement, the LCH had an anticipated in-service date of 2020. The initiative incorporates some technologies, and a level of commonality, with that of the earlier KAI KUH-1 Surion utility helicopter programme. One specific technology shared is the digital four-axis autopilot, which is fitted upon both the Surion and the EC155; it provides relatively stable hover performance even under extreme conditions, along with precision settings for altitude, speed and headwind. The latest technologies of the EC155 family have been made available for incorporation into both the LCH and LAH. The powerplant for the LCH (and LAH) is the Arriel 2L2 turboshaft engine, which was co-developed by Safran Helicopter Engines and Hanwha Techwin, the latter producing the engine under license from the former at its facility in Changwon, South Korea.
On 24 July 2018, the first prototype LCH conducted its maiden flight in Marignane, France. According to Airbus, this flight had taken place two months ahead of the contracted schedule, and that early flight testing would be performed by Airbus in France as part of their agreement with KAI to provide technical support for the programme. Airbus is to undertake a full technology transfer to KAI so that it would be capable of developing its own indigenous rotorcraft. On 5 December 2019, the second prototype made its first flight from KAI's headquarters in Sacheon, South Korea; unlike the first prototype, this one was assembled locally. The helicopter is reportedly equipped with 80 components and/or systems that were produced in South Korea, including the rotor blades, automatic flight control system, and active vibration damping system. In September 2020, it was announced that the transfer of EC155 production from France to South Korea would take place during the following year.
During September 2022, type certification for the LCH was received from the South Korean aviation authorities. It has been designed to be fully compliance with the standards of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), facilitating its use with many international operators. In the following month, the first production standard LCH was delivered to a local operator, Gloria Aviation, which will use it to provide emergency medical services (EMS) around Jeju Island from December 2022 onwards. It is envisioned that the type will perform in mission roles such as search and rescue (SAR), air ambulance, utility, law enforcement, and aerial firefighting.

Associazione Sportiva Dilettanistica Viareggio Calcio, usually referred to simply as Viareggio, is an Italian football club located in Viareggio, Tuscany.
Viareggio Calcio, as of 2021–22 season, plays in Tuscan Second Category.
History
Esperia 1911
Esperia was a football club founded in Viareggio in 1911.
Viareggio Calcio, A.S. Viareggio Calcio and A.C. Viareggio
Viareggio Calcio was founded in 1919 by a merger of 6 football clubs: Esperia, Libertas, Vigor, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Aquila and Celeritas. The club was re-founded in 1939 as A.S. Viareggio Calcio and again as A.C. Viareggio in 1994.
Viareggio played in Serie B between 1933–1937 and 1946–1948. Viareggio also spent several seasons in Serie C, notably from 1990 to 1994 and from 1997 to 2002.
In 2000s the club was acquired by the European School of Economics from Bruno Fanciullacci. The club then known as A.C. E.S.E. Viareggio.
A.C. E.S.E. Viareggio was dissolved due to bankruptcy in June 2003. The former chairman of the club Vincenzo Lombino (alias: Marvin Tracy) was charged for withdrawing money from the club with false invoices. The school itself was involved in an alleged money laundering scandal.
Esperia Viareggio
After the defunct of A.C. Viareggio, Esperia Viareggio became a successor of the club. The founding chairman of Esperia Viareggio was Mirko Lippi, but was soon replaced by Stefano Dinelli, which was the chairman from 2003 to circa 2014. However, the new club did not acquire the assets of the old club. It was reported that former A.C. Viareggio chairman Bruno Fanciullacci had acquired the assets of the old club by auction. The name "Esperia Viareggio" is a homage to the first team founded in the city, Esperia 1911.
It was reported that the Comitato Regionale Toscana, the organizer of Eccellenza Tuscany, had accepted the application of Lippi's Esperia Viareggio as a phoenix club, instead of Fanciullacci's Viareggio.
Promoted in 2006 after having won Eccellenza Tuscany and Coppa Italia Dilettanti, Esperia Viareggio gained its second consecutive promotion on 22 April 2007 by winning Group E of Serie D four matches before the end of the season.
At the end of the 2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione season, the club was admitted to Lega Pro Prima Divisione for the first time in its history.
Long serving players retired including Samuele Barsotti and Giuseppe Costantino in 2010 and Michele Fusi in 2009. Alberto Reccolani also left the club. In 2009–10 and 2010–11 the team finished the season in the relegation places, but managed to win play-offs to remain in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione. In 2010–11 the only defenders on a long-term contract were Lorenzo Fiale and Sergio Carnesalini, whilst others were borrowed from other teams. The starting goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio was loaned from Juventus and called up to the Italy national under-21 football team during his stay with club. In 2014 the club was excluded from the new third-tier Lega Pro for economic reasons.
However, Esperia Viareggio was later admitted to 2014–15 Terza Categoria season.
Viareggio 2014
In August 2014, thanks to the article 52 of N.O.I.F., a new club was admitted to Eccellenza Tuscany as a successor.
After its predecessor F.C. Esperia Viareggio, which was excluded from professional leagues in 2014, "Viareggio 2014" applied as its successor and was admitted in Eccellenza Tuscany. However, Esperia Viareggio continued to play in Terza Categoria from 2014 to 2017.
Colors and badge
The club's main colors are white and black, serving as inspiration for the club's nickname, [Le] Zebre, which stands for "The Zebras."
The logo of now defunct Esperia Viareggio, featured zebra stripe and an anchor. In 2012–13 season, Burlamacco, a local crown figure, was also added to the jersey.
Esperia Viareggio wore a temporarily logo "Viareggio Ricorda" in 2009, as a memorial of Viareggio train derailment.
S.S.D. Viareggio 2014 had a similar logo background as the logo of now defunct F.C. Esperia Viareggio, but had 2014, the year of foundation on it. The logo also featured an anchor, but resemble to the crest of the city.
Viareggio 2014 also used a temporarily logo Il Mondo che vorrei in 2015 as a memorial of Viareggio train derailment.

Acquisitions
On May 24, 2008 Caterpillar agreed to acquire all of the capital stock of MGE - Equipamentos e Serviços Ferroviários Ltda., a São Paulo, Brazil-based locomotive component and transit car services company to become part of Caterpillar's Progress Rail Services Corporation. The acquisition of MGE marked Progress Rail's first entry into the South American market.
On June 1, 2010, Caterpillar announced Progress Rail would buy Electro-Motive Diesel from Berkshire Partners LLC and Greenbriar Equity Group LLC for US$820 million. The purchase was completed on August 2, 2010, making Electro-Motive Diesel a wholly owned subsidiary of Progress Rail Services Corporation.
During 2010, Progress Rail acquired two makers of signal equipment, Coast to Coast Signal Engineering and C&S Signaling, as well as a General Electric subsidiary involved in the signal industry; now Progress Rail Inspection & Information Systems.
In February 2012 Progress Rail permanently closed the EMD London, Ontario plant after labour dispute shuttered the manufacturing plant.

A.E. Karaiskakis Football Club () is a Greek professional football club based in Arta, Greece. Founded in 2012, they compete in the Gamma Ethniki, the third tier of Greek football. Their home ground is Municipal Agioi Anargiroi Stadium.
History
Foundation and first years
The club was established in 2012, after the merger of AO Arta, Aetos Diasello and Omonoia Petra, and is currently competing in the 2nd tier of Greek football, the Super League Greece 2. In the 2014–15 Football League 2, despite leading the table for a big part of the season, and having the best attacking and defensive record of the group, scoring 60 and conceding just 14, Karaiskakis lost to AO Trikala on the last matchday with a score of 1–2, a result that led to the club missing out on promotion to Beta Ethniki.
2015–16 season
The 2015–16 season for Karaiskakis started with an away victory of 1–2 at Farkadona. The first home match was against nearby Ethnikos Filippiada, and ended in a goalless draw. Karaiskakis played their first match at their official home on 25/10/2015 against Niki Volos. The game ended 2–1 in favour of Karaiskakis, who came back to win after being 0–1 down at half-time. On November 5, 2015, after disagreements in a meeting session, former coach, Sakis Papavasileiou, terminated his contract with the club. Three days later, the club announced the hiring of the 54 year old coach from Arta, Giannis Taprantzis. Having been in charge for only 3 games, Taprantzis left the club for personal reasons. After a few days, Giorgos Giannos became the club's new manager. The very next day after the hiring of Giannos, Karaiskakis defeated Pyrasos 4–0 at home. The first defeat of the season came against Aiginiakos on the 13th matchday, with a score of 3–1. On the final day of the first round, Karaiskakis defeated Rigas Feraios 2–1, coming back after conceding in the 42nd minute. That same year, Karaiskakis won for the first time in his history the FCA Arta's Cup.
Recent years
In September 2016, a joint announcement was made with the administration of the Renaissance Arta on the cooperation and common course of the two groups. The co-operation eventually did not materialize. At the end of the 2016–17 season, the team finished second in the third consecutive year. After the end of the championship, the team managed to win the Gamma Ethniki Cup 2016–17. As Cupid, they claimed with Irodotos the Super Cup of Amateur Football of Greece where they were defeated by 1–0.
Promotion to the Football League
In the summer of 2017, HFF initially decided to fill the gap of a team in the 2nd national with the third rounds of the 2016–17 Gamma Ethniki, provided that they will deposit a €300,000 guarantee. The only groups that did it were Karaiskakis and Doxa Drama. The barrage was set to be in Katerini. Finally, with a new decision, EPO abolished the barrage of climb. Following the appeal of Doxa Dramas against the decision of the HFF, the HFF Arbitration Court decided to become the barrage. After the withdrawal of Iraklis from the Football League, the match was canceled and the two teams were promoted to the Football League.
Crest
The club's badge portrays the Greek Klepht/Armatolos from the Greek War of Independence, Georgios Karaiskakis.
Supporters
Though formed in 2012, not only do Karaiskakis have a decent number of supporters, they have also created a fanbase. Members of this unofficial fanbase call themselves "Eagles", and gather in Gate 3.
Rivalries
Few seasons after Karaiskakis' establishment, a rivalry against the older club from Arta, Anagennisi, was born. In 2015, rumours were spread that the two clubs were on the verge of being merged. However, no official proposal has been made yet.
Nicknames
A.E. Karaiskakis may sometimes be referred to as "Choriates" (Villagers). This nickname was first used from AO Trikala fans in the 2014–15 season, when they and Karaiskakis were the two favourites for promotion to the second tier, as a way of offending Karaiskakis fans for living in a small town like Arta. Supporters of Karaiskakis adopted this nickname, and used it in one of their banners for the match against Trikala. What was written on the banner was - (Welcome to the "village"), but didn't have any result as they lost 2–1.

Brudziński's sign or a Brudziński sign is any of three medical signs, all of which may occur in meningitis or meningism. All three are named after Józef Brudziński. In English, the name is often written without the diacritic (like many borrowed words) (Brudzinski) and is pronounced .
Brudziński cheek sign
The Brudziński cheek sign or Brudziński's cheek phenomenon is a clinical sign in which pressure on the cheek elicits a reflex action, usually a twitching of the area near the eye or upper lip, and flexion of the forearm when pressure is applied to upper arm with a sphygmomanometer. It is found in patients with meningitis, and is analogous to the Brudziński symphyseal sign in the lower limb.
Brudziński symphyseal sign
The Brudziński symphyseal sign is a clinical sign in which pressure on the pubic symphysis elicits a reflex flexion of the hip and knee, and abduction of the leg. It is found in patients with meningitis, and is analogous to the Brudziński cheek sign in the upper limb.
This sign was also independently discovered by a Brazilian clinician, Aloísio De Castro (1881-1959), in 1912, and is commonly called as the Aloísio De Castro's Sign in Brazil.
Brudziński neck sign
The Brudziński neck sign or Brudziński's symptom is a clinical sign in which forced flexion of the neck elicits a reflex flexion of the hips. It is found in patients with meningitis, subarachnoid haemorrhage and possibly encephalitis. It is not very commonly seen.
Pathophysiology
The pain felt on Kernig's sign is due to meningeal irritation caused by movement of the spinal cord within the meninges. In the Brudzinski's neck sign, this movement with neck flexion is cancelled out by the flexion of the hip; much like two persons pulling on either side of a single rope.

Gyrate is the debut studio album by American rock band Pylon, released in 1980 by record label DB.
In a 1981 Trouser Press Review of Gyrate, Jon Young noted the album had "forceful rhythms and a kooky aura...jagged broken-glass textures and earnestly overbearing lyrics." He said the band has a "nervous, paranoid vibe," similar to the early Talking Heads. Young concludes, "Pylon prods and prods and prods."

The Hilgen and Wittenberg Woolen Mill is a former textile factory in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Built in 1864, the mill was one of many wool- and flax-processing factories that opened during the American Civil War, due to a shortage of cotton textiles formerly supplied by southern states. The mill produced yarns, blankets, and flannels, and was the largest woolen mill west of Philadelphia in the 19th century. The mill closed in 1968 and has since become a commercial complex called the "Cedar Creek Settlement," containing restaurants and stores.
History
The outbreak of the American Civil War led to supply shortages of cotton in the North. In 1864, Frederick Hilgen, Dietrich Wittenberg, and Joseph Trottman planned to capitalize on the textile shortage by building a hydropowered factory to process wool. Completed in 1865 at a cost of $30,000, the mill complex initially consisted of two limestone buildings outfitted with state of the art equipment coupled to turbines powered by Cedar Creek. The mill was one of many textile factories that opened in Wisconsin to process wool and flax. To put things in perspective, Wisconsin had 15 woolen mills in 1859, producing a few hundred thousand pounds of textiles. By 1871, the state had 54 mills, producing more than 1.5 million pounds of textiles.
While completed too late to capitalize on the Civil War the mill found success filling demand for fabric and yarn in the wake of the destruction of industry and infrastructure in many southern states. The mill incorporated as the Cedarburg Woolen Company in 1872, with Dietrich Wittenberg serving as president. The owners constructed additional buildings, including offices, a shipping department, a coachhouse, bleaching and dying facilities, warehouses on both sides of the creek, and a factory store. In 1880, the company expanded production to a second factory in Grafton, Wisconsin, specializing in production of worsted yarn. By 1893, the Cedarburg complex had grown from two buildings to twelve and spanned several city blocks. The owners even built a tunnel under Bridge Road to link the factory basement to the bleaching and dying facilities.
In response to a dam washout in 1881 and industrial demand outpacing the availability of hydropower in 1896, the company constructed a boiler house and an engine house and switched from hydropower to steam power. The new facility included two steam-powered fire pumps; an 85-horsepower engine to power the factory's machines; and a 45-horsepower engine with an electric generator, which provided the complex and the neighboring Wittenberg mansion with the first electric light in the City of Cedarburg.
The last major mill expansion occurred in 1907 when a third floor was added to the factory building. The mill began its decline during the Great Depression, when demand waned and the mill was idled. In 1933 the mill's dam washed out for a second time. Construction of a new dam, designed by local engineer Charles Whitney, began in 1938 and was completed in 1939 as a Public Works Administration project for the City of Cedarburg. Its unclear whether the new dam ever provided the mill with hydropower, but its millpond became a popular swimming area, even featuring an artificial beach on the bank opposite the mill. During World War II, the mill temporarily increased production to provide woolen blankets for the war effort but continued to decline after the war. In 1945, the mill stopped its mechanical weaving operations altogether but continued hand weaving of specialty products. The swimming area suffered from poor water quality, leading the city to permanently close the beach in 1949 and construct a public pool in 1959.
In 1968, the mill declared bankruptcy and shut down. The Wittenberg family accepted an offer from a developer who planned to demolish the complex and construct a gas station. However, mayor Stephen Fisher was able to delay the demolition and find a different buyer to preserve the buildings. In January 1972, Jim Pape bought the complex for his winery business.
In 1978, the mill buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Currently, the mill complex is referred to as Cedar Creek Settlement and houses a restaurant in the former boiler house and specialty stores throughout the other buildings. The former swimming beach is now Boy Scout Park.

is a chronicle of Oda Nobunaga, a Daimyo of Japan's Sengoku period. It is also called . It was compiled after Nobunaga's death by , a vassal of Nobunaga, based on his notes and diary.
The original was written by about 1598. It consists of a total of 16 volumes, including the main 15 volumes and the first volume. The main volumes covers the 15 years from 1568, when Nobunaga entered Kyoto with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the 15th shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate (later banished from Kyoto by Nobunaga), to 1582, when he died in the Honnō-ji Incident. The first volume summarizes his life from his childhood, when he was called "Kipphōshi," until he went to Kyoto.
The chronicle contains not only subjects related to Nobunaga, but also murders, human trafficking, corruption, document forgery, and other street topics not directly related to Nobunaga, providing an insight into the public mood of the time.
Original, Manuscripts, and Publications
The book known today as Shinchō Kōki has many manuscripts and editions of the same original.
There are more than 60 known manuscripts, with various titles given to them, including , , .
Some, such as the so-called Ikeda books handed down in the Ikeda clan, which was a family of Daimyo, were commissioned by Ōta Gyūichi, who re-edited the contents to suit the client and transcribed it himself. Four sets of Shinchō Kōki in Gyūichi's own handwriting have now been identified, including the Ikeda book, and it is estimated that more than 70 sets existed in the past, including those written by people other than Gyūichi. However, as they are handwritten, their number is limited and only a few have survived. In particular, only two sets of Ōta Gyūichi's own handwritten books, complete with all volumes, have been found. This figure includes those that do not have all the books and those that once existed but are now missing.
When the chronicle, rewritten in modern Japanese, was published in 1992, nearly 10,000 copies were sold by 2008, including a newly revised edition published in 2006, reflecting Nobunaga's popularity.
Authorship
As a young man, Ōta Gyūichi served the Oda clan for his skill with the bow and arrow, and served Nobunaga as a fighter, but in later years his work as a government official became his main responsibility, including serving as a magistrate for land inspection. Before the Honnō-ji Incident, he held the position of deputy of Namazumi in the Ōmi Province, and after Nobunaga's death he became secretary to Niwa Nagahide. He then served Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hideyori. He continued to write during the reign of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and there is a memo written in 1610 when he was 84 years old.
Ōta Gyūichi was of a very penmanship nature and wrote down daily events in diaries and notes, which led to the compilation of the chronicle.
His lord, Nobunaga, is naturally written about favourably.
One episode that illustrates Nobunaga's kind-hearted side is the episode. In the village of Yamanaka, there was a disabled beggar called Yamanaka no Saru. Nobunaga gave the villagers 10 pieces of cotton and asked them to build him a hut. Nobunaga further told his neighbours that he would be happy if they would share with him a harvest each year that would not be a burden on them.
However, he did not ignore what was inconvenient for Nobunaga, and on the other hand he also describes episodes that illustrate Nobunaga's misdeeds and brutality. As for the siege of Mount Hiei, the book describes the horrific scenes in a straightforward manner: Enryaku-jikonpon-chūdō and scriptures were burnt to the ground, and monks and non-monks, children, wise men and priests were decapitated. In another episode reads: The court ladies of the Azuchi Castle went on an excursion in Nobunaga's absence, but Nobunaga returned to the castle unexpectedly early. Knowing Nobunaga's character, these women were too frightened to return to the castle and asked the elder to apologise to him. This added fuel to the fire, and Nobunaga, furious as a flame, not only defeated them but also the elder.
Accuracy
In historiography, biographies and war chronicles are regarded as secondary sources based on primary sources such as letters. However, partly because it was written by a contemporary of Nobunaga, Shinchō Kōki is treated as a primary source. Gyūichi swore at the end of the 12 volumes of the Ikeda book that he had written a book free from falsehood: "I will not omit what is, nor add what is not. If I write even one lie, I will be punished by heaven". This sincere attitude to writing also enhances the book's historical value. However, Gyūichi was not so senior among Oda's vassals and the information he had access to was not perfect. Also, in manuscripts, the transcribers sometimes made mistakes, intentionally rewritten or added things that were not written down. Nevertheless, it is evaluated among researchers that its credibility stands out from other war chronicles, and it is rated in line with primary historical sources.
His vigorous writing never waned even after Nobunaga's death. Thanks to Gyūichi's interviews with court ladies who were present at the time of the Honnō-ji Incident, the last days of Nobunaga's life have been preserved to this day.
Title
Most of the extant editions have the external title Shinchō Ki, but to avoid confusion with Oze Hoan's Kanazōshi of the same title, which is described below, the chronicle is generally called Shinchō Kōki. In contrast, Hoan's is called Hoan Shinchō Ki or simply Shinchō Ki.
Influence
Shinchō Kōki is an indispensable historical book when talking about Oda Nobunaga. The life of Nobunaga, one of the most well-known figures in Japanese history, has been adapted into novels, manga, TV dramas, films, and video games many times in the past, and most of his life and episodes depicted in them are based on this book.
Oze Hoan, a Confucian scholar of the Edo period, wrote a war chronicle called based on , adding other anecdotes passed down in the public. Hoan was also the best-selling author of those days, having published other works such as Hoan Taikōki, a biography of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It was published in the early Edo period (1611 or 1622) under the title Shinchō Ki. It then became a huge hit as a commercial publication and was reprinted throughout the Edo period. It is not highly valued as a historical document, as it contains many fictional stories. However, it was accepted by the masses because it was novelistic, written in an amusing manner, with Hoan's subjectivity and Confucian philosophy. On the other hand, Gyūichi's Shinchō ki was rarely seen by the general public throughout the Edo period. For reasons unknown, its publication as a printed book was prohibited by the Edo Shogunate and it only spread in manuscript form. Therefore, it was not Shinchō Kōki but the Hoan Shinchō Ki that was widely read by the common people, and its contents spread as a common knowledge among the people of the time. And even after the Meiji era, many people, including historians, have talked about Nobunaga until recently based on the knowledge of Hoan Shinchō Ki, which is different from historical facts.

Sunrun Inc. is an American provider of photovoltaic systems and battery energy storage products, primarily for residential customers. The company was established in 2007 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
Since its inception, the company has focused primarily on a power purchase agreement (PPA) business model where Sunrun installs and maintains a solar system on a customers home, then sells power to the customer at an agreed upon rate for a 20- or 25-year term. This business model allows property owners to install solar at no upfront cost, but without the benefits (such as tax breaks) or some risks that come with being the owner of the system. The company has a sizable network of partners, including Costco and The Home Depot, who allow Sunrun to market to customers inside their stores.
In 2023, the company installed solar systems capable of generating 990 megawatts of power, and in the history of the company, had installed a total of 5.7 gigawatts of power for nearly 800,000 customers.
History
Sunrun was co-founded in January 2007 by Lynn Jurich, Ed Fenster, and Nat Kreamer with a business model in which it offered customers either a lease or a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) business model whereby homeowners paid for electricity usage but did not buy solar panels outright, reducing the initial capital outlay required by the homeowner. Sunrun is responsible for installation, maintenance, monitoring and repairs.
The company raised $12 million in venture capital funding from a group of investors including Foundation Capital in June 2008. In 2009, Sunrun closed a Series B round of funding for $18 million led by Accel Partners and joined by Foundation Capital. The company also received an additional commitment of $90 million in tax equity from U.S. Bancorp in 2009, following the $105 million in project financing from the bank in 2008. In June 2010, Sunrun struck a deal with PG&E for $100 million. Following the deal, the company announced $55 million in fresh capital from Sequoia Capital. In May 2014, the company raised $150 million.
In 2015 Sunrun went public on the Nasdaq stock exchange at $14 per share, with an initial market capitalization of $1.36 billion and launched its BrightBox battery energy storage product in the state of Hawaii. The next year it started selling BrightBox in California.
In January 2017, Sunrun announced a strategic partnership with National Grid plc. The Wall Street Journal reported in May 2017 that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was investigating Sunrun and SolarCity, with regard to whether they adequately disclosed canceled contracts, a metric that the paper said is used by investors to gauge how well such companies are performing. In 2017, cancellations of contracts with Sunrun reached 40%.
In July 2018, Sunrun expanded their solar and battery service to the island of Puerto Rico. With operations in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, Sunrun became the largest solar, storage and energy services company in America, surpassing SolarCity (now Tesla Energy).
In July 2020, Sunrun announced that it would acquire Vivint Solar for $3.2 billion. By early October 2020, the acquisition was completed following the approval by regulators and stockholders of both companies, creating a valuation of approximately $22 billion.
In February 2022, Ford announced a partnership making Sunrun the official installer of bidirectional charging stations for the F-150 Lightning, allowing customers to charge their truck at home, but also use the vehicle battery for backup power during a grid outage.

The 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series was the 71st season of NASCAR professional stock car racing in the United States, and the 48th modern-era Cup series season. The season began at Daytona International Speedway with the Advance Auto Parts Clash, the Gander RV Duel qualifying races and the 61st running of the Daytona 500. The regular season ended with the Brickyard 400 in September. The playoffs ended with the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead–Miami Speedway on November 17, 2019. Joey Logano of Team Penske entered as the defending series champion.
The 2019 season was the fifth of the current 10-year television contract with Fox Sports and NBC Sports and the fourth of a five-year race sanctioning agreement with all tracks. It was the first season in which Ford fielded the Mustang GT, replacing the Fusion. This was the final season of title sponsor Monster Energy, as NASCAR rejected the energy drink company's extension offer in favor of a new tiered sponsorship model. This was also the final season for Darrell Waltrip covering races in the booth as during the season he announced that the June 23 Toyota/Save Mart 350 would be his last race as a broadcaster.
Following the 2019 Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing clinched his second consecutive Regular Season Championship.
Busch then went on to win the championship after winning at the season finale at Homestead. It was his second championship and the first he won after competing in all 36 races during the season, after his injury in 2015 sidelined him for the first 11 races of that season. Busch had won four of the first 14 races of the season, before enduring a 21-race winless streak. His early-season success did give him plenty of playoff points and carried him through the Round of 8 at the expense of 2018 champion Logano on points.
The other members of the Championship 4 all qualified through wins in the semifinal phase. Those were Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin, who finished in that order among the title contenders at Homestead. Truex and Harvick had finished second and third also in the 2018 title race. Reigning champion Logano ended up fifth in the overall standings. Hamlin, while missing out on the title, was the Daytona 500 winner. Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota had three of the four title contenders and won 19 of the 36 races. Alex Bowman and Justin Haley obtained their first career victories, whereas Daniel Hemric won Rookie of the Year honors. Seven-time Series Champion Jimmie Johnson would miss the Playoffs for the first time since its inception in 2004 after fifteen consecutive appearances.
The 2019 season was the last full-time season for drivers David Ragan and Paul Menard, who each retired after twelve years of racing full-time in the Cup Series. It was also inadvertently the last season to feature Chicagoland Speedway. After having its event cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the track was dropped from the schedule for 2021.

Rule changes
2019 package
On October 2, 2018, NASCAR announced the new rules package for the 2019 season. The new package will have a smaller tapered spacer which will reduce the engine's power from to for tracks that are larger than to foster tighter racing. This will also include a taller spoiler at by , a wider radiator pan with at the front and at the rear, and a larger splitter with an overhang of .
Along with the aerodynamic changes, all current restrictor plate races except for the 2019 Daytona 500 will no longer be using the traditional restrictor plate rules and instead will be using the new 2019 package with the effect of the aerodynamic changes and engine restrictions, which makes it the first time a race at Daytona or Talladega to race without the traditional restrictor plates since 1987.
At the same time, NASCAR will be reducing the number of organizational tests for the year from four to three, and Goodyear tests will also be reduced from four teams to three.
On October 8, 2018, NASCAR announced that the driver-adjustable trackbar will not be allowed in the 2019 season.
On February 4, 2019, NASCAR announced a new post-race inspection rule in all three series, where race-winning teams found to be in violation of the rule book will automatically be disqualified. Following a race, the first-place and second-place teams, along with at least one randomly selected car, will undergo post-race inspection. The inspection should take between 90 minutes and two hours to complete before the race winner is officially declared. The car that fails the inspection will receive last-place points and will be stripped of playoff and stage points.
At the 2019 Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway on September 21, 2019, Erik Jones became the first MENCS driver to be disqualified under this rule after his fourth-place finishing car was discovered to have a rear wheel alignment issue during post-race inspection. As a result, he was scored back to 38th place with one point, severely affecting his playoff standings.
For the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race, NASCAR implemented two new components to the aero package: a single-piece carbon fiber splitter and a hood-mounted radiator duct.
Qualifying
On February 4, 2019, NASCAR announced a change in the qualifying schedule procedures for majority of its tracks. For short tracks and intermediate speedways, the first round will be shortened from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, while the second and third rounds will remain at 10 and five minutes, respectively. The down time intervals at all tracks will be reduced from seven minutes to five minutes. Superspeedway qualifications will retain their untimed two-round intervals of single-lap qualifying while road courses will continue to use two qualifying rounds: 25 minutes for the first round and 10 minutes for the final round.
For the first several races on speedway tracks running the new rules package, cars started waiting until the last possible moment to record a lap to avoid being the first car out (which is a disadvantage in speed when drafting) during qualifying. On March 25, 2019, following Auto Club Speedway qualifying where no cars recorded a timed lap in round 3, NASCAR announced starting at the first Texas race any drive who did not record a lap in any round would not have previous session times count and would start from the rear of the field. Additionally, any driver who blocked pit road in a manner prohibiting drivers from exiting pit road would be disqualified. Further, any car not immediately making a qualifying attempt will be staged in a track-specific area designated by NASCAR. Once leaving that area the car must continue directly onto the race track at full speed.
For the April Richmond race, NASCAR shortened the length of each session to five minutes for Richmond only.
On May 1, 2019, following continued gamesmanship and other actions causing multi-car qualifying to become "untenable," NASCAR formally returned to single-car qualifying at all oval tracks.
At oval tracks and larger, each car will get a single timed lap.
At oval tracks and smaller, each car will get two timed laps with the faster lap counting as their official time.
The qualifying order draw will be determined in part by the previous race's starting lineup. The top 20 starters from the previous race will draw to take their qualifying lap in positions 21-40 (the second half of qualifying). The remainder of cars will draw to qualify in positions 1-20.
The next car will be sent once the preceding car takes the white flag. This should ensure qualifying is completed in roughly 40 minutes baring any interruptions for crashes, debris, or weather.
There will be two-minute television breaks built into qualifying to ensure every car gets covered live during the session.
Each car must complete their lap for the session to be counted, otherwise all times will be erased and cars will start by owner points.
Multi-car qualifying will remain at road course events.
On-air, Fox reintroduced a new graphics system it used during the Daytona 500 qualifying, to render a live augmented reality "ghost" alongside the car currently running, typically reflecting the leader.
Other
On May 8, 2019, NASCAR announced that for the 2019 Coca-Cola 600, the race will stop after the second stage for a 30-second moment of remembrance in honor of Memorial Day.
Schedule
The 2019 dates and venues were released on April 3, 2018, and the start times on December 11, 2018. There were no schedule changes from the 2018 season, except to move the Las Vegas playoff race to prime time (7pm ET). The Sonoma Raceway returned to the original 2.52 mile course configuration for the first time since 1997; otherwise the venues were unchanged.

Dudley Eugene Williams (August 18, 1938 - May, 2015) was an American modern dancer who performed with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater from 1964 to 2005.
Early life and education
Dudley Eugene Williams was born in East Harlem, New York City, on August 18, 1938. His father was carpenter Ivan Leroy Williams and his mother Austa (nee Beckles). After his initial application for admission to the music division to study piano was submitted past the deadline date, he enrolled for dance at the High School of Performing Arts in New York, graduating in 1958.
Early career
Straight after graduation, Williams established The Corybantes, a dance troupe which toured union halls and army bases. He performed in the companies of Talley Beatty, Donald McKayle, and May O'Donnell, attended Juilliard for a short time, and joined the Martha Graham Dance Company in 1961 on a scholarship.
With Alvin Ailey
Williams joined the Alvin Ailey Company in 1963, after being asked to replace a dancer who quit just before a tour, and danced with both Ailey and Graham for some years.
He became best known for the solo "I Wanna Be Ready" in the Ailey masterwork "Revelations", and for the dance "Love Songs," a 16-minute solo created for him by Ailey in 1972. His final performance with the Ailey Company took place on May 8, 2005.
He was the longest active member of the Ailey company. Ailey tried to persuade him to become his assistant, but Williams preferred to dance.
Williams was praised for his "flowing, musical style, magnetism and stage presence."
Other work
Williams performed as a featured dancer for the Eleo Pomare Dance Company, having met Pomare when both were students at the High School of Performing Arts.
Later life and death
After retiring from the Ailey Company, Williams continued to teach at the Ailey School.
In 1996, with Carmen de Lavallade and Gus Solomons Jr., he co-founded and performed with Paradigm, a dance company devoted to showcasing mature dancers. Williams was featured in the 2016 Rohan Spong documentary Winter at Westbeth.
He died in May 2015 in his Manhattan apartment at age 76.

Hans Buser (23 September 1513 – 19 August 1544), also known as Hans von Buus, was of the Amt of Liestal from 1536 until his death in 1544.
Biography
Born in Läufelfingen, he was the first born son to Lord Hans Buser I. He had at least one brother, Oswald, and an unknown number of sisters. He was just 23 years old when his father died and he inherited his lands.
His humble ancestors hailing from the small, local village of Buus in the Amt of Liestal, the young and ambitious Lord Buser sought to increase his family's wealth and influence in both the Prince-Bishopric of Basel and the Holy Roman Empire as a whole. Using his political pull with the Prince-Bishop, he arranged a marriage to the last daughter of Johann von Sachsen, Margaret . By this connection to the royal family of the Empire, the marriage significantly increased his family's authority in the region and greater respect among the noble houses.
He died at the age of 31 after falling ill to a fever. He had at least one son, Hans Buser III (1538-1584), who came to be known as "der Canis" for his bravery and death in the Cologne War in 1584. In addition, he had two other sons, named Mathis and Martin Buser. The Buser family was eventually displaced from Liestal during the Thirty Years' War, and Hans' great-grandson, Georg, moved the family to his maternal homeland in Saxony under the name of Bausser. Most of the family remained there, while others emigrated to Philadelphia in the early 1700s under Matthias Bowser. The town of Addison in Somerset County was mostly home to the Bausser family (which eventually was changed to Bowser), while others moved to Accident, Maryland.

Rishi Bhat (born May 19, 1984) is an American former child actor and internet entrepreneur.
Personal life
Bhat is of Indian descent. His parents are immigrants to the United States. His father Shrikant is a metallurgical engineer. Bhat's interest in computers began when he received his first computer at the age of three years. Bhat is an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, where he obtained both bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science/mathematics, in a total of 4 years.
Career
Actor
Bhat held the role of Patrick, co-starring alongside Hal Scardino and Litefoot in the 1995 film The Indian in the Cupboard, for which he received a Young Artist Award nomination.
Software entrepreneur
Between the fall of 1999 and spring of 2000, Bhat sold two internet startups, SiegeSoft.com and myEDesk.com, to a Canadian software firm.
SiegeSoft was written by Bhat during the summer of 1999, while a sophomore at the University of Chicago Laboratory School. When a summer pre-calculus class he wished to take was canceled, he instead spent the time writing SiegeSoft as an anonymity software program to allow users to surf the internet without leaving a trail.
Originally sold online, SiegeSoft hides subscribers' identities when they use the internet and scrambles records of sites visited. Though competing software began to materialize online, SiegeSoft was determined to be both more secure and easier to use than existing software. Rocca Resources, a Vancouver-based mineral-exploration company, purchased SiegeSoft from Bhat for $40,000 cash, 1.5 million shares of Rocca stock, plus shares in Rocca's first two years of profits in exchange for Bhat's continued work on refining the program. Rocca later purchased the startup MyEdesk.com from Bhat and his partner Chaitanya Mehra, with each receiving 110,000 shares of Rocca stock.

Sharon Carter believes that Nick Fury's death at the hands of the Punisher must have been staged.
She breaks into a top-secret S.H.I.E.L.D. facility looking for proof and finds that Fury's bullet-ridden "body" is actually an LMD. Carter takes the head of the LMD to Tony Stark. He admits to having helped build it for Fury, and uses the circuitry within to gather a clue: "Fallen Angel." The clue leads Carter to explore Fury's private office in a sunken S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. has arranged for security to protect the tech in the sunken Helicarrier, and they comes after her. She escapes and uses the data gained to find an energy portal hidden under the site of the original S.H.I.E.L.D. building. She jumps through the portal, which turns out to be a time portal.
Carter runs into Fury in the middle of WWII, and after holding him at gunpoint, reluctantly helps him fight off Nazis and link up with the other Howling Commandos. Fury explains that they're not actually in the past, but in a pocket-dimension shaped by the willpower of those within it. He says he had received coded messages from Fallen Angel, the supposedly-dead original S.H.I.E.L.D. director. When he reached the location, Fallen Angel pushed him through the portal and then committed suicide. Fury tells Carter that they have to find another portal in this pocket-dimension in order to get back to reality. As the two work together to make it home, Fury explains to Carter that the reason he left her out in the cold was that he assumed she really was dead. After that they reach a portal back to reality.

Nockatunga Station, most commonly known as Nockatunga, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in South West Queensland, Australia.
Description
Nockatunga is located about east of Innamincka and south west of Quilpie in Queensland. Situated in the channel country of outback Queensland the property includes frontage to the Wilson River.
Occupying an area well over 2 million acres, which is approximately , almost the size as Puerto Rico with an area of , the property is able to carry 30,000 head of cattle on a good season. The station is owned by the Harris family, trading under Cleveland Agriculture. Harris acquired the property in 2018 from Consolidated Pastoral Company, prior the Hughes family owned Nockatunga for 120 years.
Noccundra Pub is located on the station, 20km from the station complex. The country is described as open bendee opening onto well grassed downs studded with water worn stones and lightly timbered with stunted gidyah. The open plains contain cotton bush and saltbush.
History
The traditional owners of the area are the Kullili people of the Garlali language group, who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. The name of the property is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal words from the Theirila language Nock meaning water and tunga meaning smell.
The station was established in 1866 when Alexander Munro took up the lease but it soon changed hands and was owned in 1869 by Patrick Drinan.
The property was later put up for auction in 1872 and was advertised widely as a property of the "richest fattening quality", having frontage along the Wilson River, and occupying an area of . A herd of 6,500 cattle including 20 "well bred bulls" was included on the property that also claimed to have permanent waterholes "of sufficient depth to float the largest man'o'war", even during the severest drought.
Herbert Bristow Hughes acquired the station at auction in August 1872 for the sum of £19,655.
Explorers Hume, O'Hea and Thompson left Nockatunga to journey further down Cooper Creek and into the interior to search for the remains of the Leichhardt expedition in December 1874 and quickly ran out of water in the intense heat. Thompson left the other two to find water and help, but when he returned both had died of dehydration.
The property was advertised for auction again in 1875. Nockatunga was now or 1,188,000 acres in size and carrying a herd of about 13,000 cattle and 100 horses. The property had many improvements since being acquired including a stone cottage, stone kitchen, men's hut, grass and mud store, yards, sheds and blacksmith shop with of four wire fencing being installed. The auction was delayed then was unsuccessful as Hughes still owned the property in 1876 and beyond.
Flooding occurred at the station in 1882 following heavy rains for 6 days with falling at nearby properties. The Wilson river rose leaving Nockatunga surrounded by water and parts being swept away. Many outbuildings constructed of mudbrick were washed away. The main buildings had the mortar dislodged from between the stones with flooding reaching a depth of , making the buildings unstable. At the peak of the floods a horse wagon was caulked up and used as a raft to take supplies to higher ground.
Herbert Hughes died in 1892 in Adelaide, where he had long resided. The property was managed by a board of trustees until at least 1904; after that time the property was being run by John Maddock Hughes.
In 1901 drought struck much of south west Queensland with thousands of cattle dying of thirst at many properties. Nockatunga lost an estimated 27,897 cattle from a herd of approximately 30,000. Virtually no grasses remained on the ground as feed for stock. This was followed by a rabbit plague in 1905 when the pest had moved northwards and bred to plague proportions in the channel country reducing available feed for cattle.
By 1910 Nockatunga was the second largest station in Queensland, having an area of . The largest at this time was Sandringham Station in the north Gregory district having an area of .
Following a period of drought, the area experienced heavy rains in 1926 when of rain fell over a few days. The Wilson River was the highest it had been in over 20 years and Cooper Creek was running at over wide.
The dingo population had increased and the property used 400 aborigines to cull the population. At Nockatunga over 713 dingos and their pups were slaughtered in the first six months of 1933.
The manager of the property in 1935 was Lucas Hughes, one of the Hughes family and on the board of trustees of H. B. Hughes. According to him decent rains had not been had at Nockatunga since 1926.
Hughes organised the construction of an airfield at Nockatunga in 1941 using 50 aborigines close to the homestead on a gibber plain. The working party took two days to clear the loose rocks and any brush along the landing strip. The rocks were then placed around the aerodrome and the station was accessible to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
The station found itself isolated in 1947 following record flooding. Both the station and the township of Noccundra were completely cut off and had no mail from late December 1946 to late February 1947.
An unfortunate stockman, George Dirkensen, fell into an open fire in January 1949 burning his hands, face and arms. He was over the river from the homestead but was unable to cross it and his cries were not noticed until the following morning. He was taken to Broken Hill later that day by the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
The station had record rainfalls in 1949 when in the month of March a total of fell compared to an annual average of .
The record of the most cattle sent to Homebush market by one owner, H.B. Hughes Estate, was set in 1951 when 654 cattle from Nockatunga arrived. The herd had been overlanded to Bourke and then trucked to Flemington.
Noccundra
The townsite of Noccundra was established in 1882 and is located within the station boundaries, the only part that remains being the Noccundra Hotel. The licence for the hotel was first granted in 1886 and the hotel was built using locally quarried sandstone which was brought to the site by camel train. Besides being used for entertainment and accommodation the building serves as a medical and dental clinic for the Royal Flying Doctor Service as required. The building was heritage listed in 1977.

"Don't Stop" is the debut single by the American band Innerpartysystem from the band's self-titled debut album. Before being mastered the song was officially released on the band's debut EP (although an earlier demo had been published on the band's MySpace profile beforehand). The single was re-released mainly due to poor endorsement by American music channels.
The lyrics of the song focus on celebrity culture and lies within the media and celebrities. The lyrics are sung in first person as a celebrity who may have no specific talent or is famous purely because of his/her wealth (famous for being famous) and this person is only interested in the attention to which a celebrity may receive, in the song these people are perceived as liars. The song portrays these celebrities as the public's entertainment and the public wrongly feed these celebrities with their attention.
The physical platforms of the single were only released in the United Kingdom.
The single peaked at #35 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 2008
Music video
Version one
The music video for "Don't Stop" was directed and produced by Stephen Penta for White Light Productions. It features a male and a female news reporter who both lip sync the song's lyrics at various times throughout the video. The video in most parts was edited with analog tape distortion from a CRT television effects giving the video a rough and rigid look. Throughout the video the band members are seen lip syncing the lyrics (mainly the vocalist Patrick) as well as shots from a live performance.
Jared Piccone on the filming of the video:
The video had some controversy when being published by TV networks as many demanded the video be cut to reduce flashing so the video could pass the Harding Test. MTV UK also demanded that the ball gag and mouth opening device be cut from the video for the video to be played during day.
The music video can be found on a bonus DVD with the album, on the CD single and on the band's website.
Version two
After the original video was found to be too shocking for many musical channels, and the fact that the flashing was excessive enough to cause a warning to appear on some music channels, a new video was filmed. The video was again filmed and edited by the band's videographer Stephan Penta.
The video shows a couple watching a 1950s style talk show where the host insults his female cohost and introduces the band who perform a live performance. During the performance, actors move and dance in an animated doll-like motion as if to emphasive surreality of the show. Like the first video, it was shot with a low budget and features the news reporters from the first video, this time playing as an audience.
Track listing
The single contains many B-sides and remixes available on different platforms. The song Redemption can be found as a B-side on the CD track list, this is a mastered version of the earlier "Niterider", with slight changes to the song's drum beats. The B-side on the Vinyl is a cover of Joy Division's song Transmission, mixed in a more electronic fashion.
Release history
Notes
A vinyl version of the single was also released as a special 7" vinyl made out of chocolate (which played) which was available with the pre-order of the CD single.
The song was featured on the football video game FIFA Street 3 in winter 2008.
In the summer of 2008, the song was featured in the video game Madden 2009, which was released on all major systems.
The audio and visual act Eclectic-method created a remix video for the song as well as a small flash real-time mash-up video creator.
An earlier longer demo version of the song can be found on the internet, the demo version features a different chorus as well as an extra verse.
When the band performs live the song is typically played last.
The song was used by the Dallas Stars during the 2008-09 season when they play their introduction video.
The Binghamton Senators also used the song in their second introduction video during the 2009-2010 season.
