Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo! () is a 1998 romantic-comedy and drama film released by Star Cinema directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng. It stars Maricel Soriano, William Martinez, Jolina Magdangal, and Marvin Agustin. The film was a reunion movie of Soriano and Martinez whose tandem was first seen in the drama film Oh, My Mama! (1981) but were popularized by romantic comedy films such as Galawgaw (1982) and I Love You, I Hate You (1983). They are joined by Magdangal and Agustin, in their first full-length film together, whose tandem first appeared in the segment Tameme of the twin-bill film FLAMES: The Movie (1997), 7 months later since it was released in July. The film was initially entitled "Pag-Ibig Mo, Pag-Ibig Ko". Soriano and Magdangal also both reunited 2 years ago in Ama, Ina, Anak (1996).
According to Magdangal, her casting alongside Soriano is a dream come true especially that, aside from being a fan, Soriano was a big influence in her acting career.
Plot
Inseparable sisters Doris (Soriano) and Ditas (Magdangal) are two siblings who grew up doing everything almost everything together Doris owns a pop up restaurant and is preparing for her sister's 18th birthday debut while Ditas is looking for her date and suitor when Doris’ long lost love returns Mike (Martinez) laughter ensues after an incident at a bus ride Ditas must now have an accompanying driver through Marvin Agustin who has a deep affection but resulting in pencil case scene will Doris’ strict rules break the bond between the two siblings? Or will the love reconnect the two?

William H. Greene Stadium is a 7,086 seat (10,000-for football) multi-purpose stadium in Washington, D.C., in the United States, which opened in 1926. It is home to the Howard University Bison football and soccer teams. Originally called Howard Stadium, it was renamed William H. Greene Stadium in 1986 in honor of William H. Greene, M.D., a Washington, D.C., physician.
Howard Stadium
Where the stadium stands today was formerly a middle-class African-American neighborhood which was home to many Howard University faculty and workers. Howard University completed its new Howard Stadium in July 1926. The first football game played there was on October 16, 1926, against Morehouse College. Howard played games at both Howard Stadium, sometimes referred to as University Stadium, and nearby Griffith Stadium, where crowds of 17,000 to 20,000 people were common, from the 1920s into the 1950s. (Griffith Stadium was demolished in 1965.) Afterward, Howard University played most of its home games at Howard Stadium, which by 1972 could hold 5,000 fans. After playing a single game at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium every year from 1970 to 1973, Howard played every home game there in 1974 and 1975, all but one there in 1976, and half of them there in 1977.
By 1977, Howard Stadium had been renovated and expanded to seat 9,000. That year, Howard University officials proposed constructing a 20,000-set stadium to replace the aging facility. Howard University officials admitted that Friday night football games did not draw large crowds, and the university could not get many Saturday afternoon games at RFK Stadium. (The Washington Redskins rented RFK Stadium, and a clause in their contract prohibited the playing of any game in the stadium 24 hours before a Redskins game.) In 1979, Howard University president James E. Cheek announced a plan to build a $14 million stadium and parking garage to replace Howard Stadium. The proposed stadium would seat 20,000. The university said it already had a design, and blueprints were being drafted. But nothing came of this plan. Though in 1985, after years of letting their field be known as the "dust bowl", the administration installed an astroturf field.
A decade later, Howard University officials announced an even more grandiose plan. In 1986, the university proposed constructing a 30,000-seat domed stadium. An office building, retail space, and more than 1,200 apartments would be built as part of a "Howard Plaza" project on of abandoned and dilapidated property next to the campus. The Howard Plaza project had a $150 million price tag. The stadium alone, which was designed to host football and basketball games, would cost $75 million. Although the plan had the support of city officials, critics of the plan noted that Howard's football games only drew about 4,000 to 7,000 attendees. Residents of nearby LeDroit Park also opposed the plan.
William H. Greene Stadium
Nothing came of the 1986 domed stadium plan. Instead, Howard Stadium was renovated in early 1986, and renamed William H. Greene Stadium. The project took 6 months and was dedicated in front of a homecoming game crowd of 18,635 on Oct 11, 1986. As of 2011, the team still played on an artificial surface. A track surrounds the playing field.
In 1990, Howard University officials proposed to expand Greene Stadium by 6,000 seats in 1991 season. The plans called for enclosing the north end of the stadium, and moving the scoreboard to the south end. This would provide the stadium with a total of 14,000 seats, enabling the university to sell season tickets because it could guarantee preferential seating. By 2010, however, Greene Stadium still had not been expanded or renovated.
In a review of D.C. area stadiums in 2013, Brett Fuller, director of business development at the architectural firm AECOM, heavily criticized Greene Stadium for looking more like a high school field than a major college football stadium. As for the need for renovation, Fuller said, "It's hard to say it's in bad shape. It hardly exists at all."

George Francis Dodd (16 December 1881 – 1 January 1960) was an English footballer who played as a forward.
Club career
Dodd played for a number of amateur clubs in England before joining Stockport County in 1905. While at the club, he scored the first goal ever against newly formed Chelsea; after Joseph Schofield's penalty was saved by William Foulke, Dodd scored the rebound. After two seasons with Stockport County, he moved on to Workington and then Notts County, before joining Chelsea in 1911. Having played for a number of professional clubs during the First World War, and also serving as a private in the British Army, he joined Luton Town in 1919, going on to score five goals in fourteen appearances in all competitions.
Following his retirement, he managed amateur side Catford South End.

The Elm Park Bridge, sometimes locally referred to as the BDI Bridge or the Ice Cream Bridge, is a steel truss bridge over the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
It links Kingston Crescent in the neighbourhood of St. Vital with Jubilee Avenue in the neighbourhood of Fort Rouge. Built in 1912 and opened in 1914, it is the fourth-oldest bridge in Winnipeg after the Redwood, Louise, and Arlington. The bridge has a deck measuring wide; though initially open to two-way vehicular traffic, it was closed to vehicles in 1974, remaining accessible to only pedestrians and cyclists ever since.
The nickname "BDI Bridge" is derived from the popular ice-cream vendor, Bridge Drive-In (BDI), that sits adjacent to the bridge. In turn, BDI itself is so-named because of its proximity to the Elm Park Bridge.
History
Elm Park (now Kingston Crescent and Kingston Row), the former trolley park beside which the bridge was built, was created in 1890 by the Elm Park Company, whose parent company, Winnipeg Street Railway Co., wanted to attract passengers onto their new streetcar line which ran down Osborne Street to Jubilee. At this time, a seasonal pontoon bridge allowed people access from Jubilee Avenue to the park’s entrance in what was then the Rural Municipality of St. Vital. In 1912, Winnipeg Street Railway figured a better idea for their business would be to subdivide the park's land for residential development.
This development included replacing the pontoon bridge with a toll bridge; Roland Fairbairn McWilliams, owner of Elm Park, had tried on numerous occasions to have the City of Winnipeg pay for the construction of a better bridge across the Red River between Jubilee and St. Vital. A full-page ad in the Winnipeg Free Press in May 1912 had a diagram showing the new bridge with the park street-car line loop ending on the Jubilee side of the Red River and advertising "[f]ive minute [street]car service to the city."
The bridge was built between 1912 and 1913 by the Elm Park Bridge Company at a cost of CA$125,000, for which the implementation of a toll was meant to offset. The meeting of the council of the then Rural Municipality of St. Vital that took place in December 1912 passed a motion saying that they wanted the bridge moved, preferring it to be located closer to Pembina Street (now Osborne Street). The City of Winnipeg "opened" the section of Jubilee so that the streetcar could terminate at the new Elm Park Bridge.
The bridge was opened on 24 May 1914, and was accessible to two-way vehicular traffic—despite its deck being only wide. It also included a sidewalk on its east side. The toll was 5 cents for pedestrians, 10 cents for cars, and 25 cents for trucks. Until the nearby St. Vital Bridge was built at Osborne Street in 1965, Elm Park Bridge was one of just three ways Winnipeg motorists could cross into St. Vital.
With the bridge in poor condition, the Elm Park Company decided to close it indefinitely in August 1945. This allowed the Municipality of St. Vital the opportunity later that year to purchase the bridge for $5,000; they would make the necessary repairs. The bridge was reopened in 1946 with tolls removed. During the summer of that year, the bridge was temporarily closed as result of a repair project that involved replacing the wood under asphalt. The project involved two layers of asphalt being poured over the wood, which came from the cordite plant in Transcona.
In 1950, the Red River flood nearly washed the bridge away as water came right up to its deck level. On 1 May 1957, the now-popular ice-cream vendor, Bridge Drive-In (BDI), was opened adjacent to the bridge.
In 1974, the bridge was closed off to vehicular traffic, remaining accessible to only pedestrians and cyclists ever since.
Facing heavy renovation costs for the bridge in the mid-1990s, the city looked into the possibility of tearing it down. However, after discovering that such endeavour would cost $1,000,000, the city backed off the idea. In the spring of 2010, the bridge's concrete piers were fixed at a cost of $300,000.
On 24 May 2014, Winnipeg celebrated the Bridge's 100th anniversary, with city councillors Brian Mayes (St. Vital) and Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge–East Fort Garry) unveiling a plaque in commemoration of the occasion.
The Park Line streetcar route provided access between Elm Park and downtown Winnipeg via the Elm Park bridge.

Hemolytic–uremic syndrome (HUS) is a group of blood disorders characterized by low red blood cells, acute kidney failure, and low platelets. Initial symptoms typically include bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and weakness. Kidney problems and low platelets then occur as the diarrhea progresses. Children are more commonly affected, but most children recover without permanent damage to their health, although some children may have serious and sometimes life-threatening complications. Adults, especially the elderly, may present a more complicated presentation. Complications may include neurological problems and heart failure.
Most cases occur after infectious diarrhea due to a specific type of E. coli called O157:H7. Other causes include S. pneumoniae, Shigella, Salmonella, and certain medications. The underlying mechanism typically involves the production of Shiga toxin by the bacteria. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is often due to a genetic mutation and presents differently. However, both can lead to widespread inflammation and multiple blood clots in small blood vessels, a condition known as thrombotic microangiopathy.
Treatment involves supportive care and may include dialysis, steroids, blood transfusions, or plasmapheresis. About 1.5 per 100,000 people are affected per year. Less than 5% of those with the condition die. Of the remainder, up to 25% have ongoing kidney problems. HUS was first defined as a syndrome in 1955.
Signs and symptoms
After eating contaminated food, the first symptoms of infection can emerge anywhere from 1 to 10 days later, but usually after 3 to 4 days. These early symptoms can include diarrhea (which is often bloody), stomach cramps, mild fever, or vomiting that results in dehydration and reduced urine. HUS typically develops about 5–10 days after the first symptoms, but can take up to 3 weeks to manifest, and occurs at a time when the diarrhea is improving. Related symptoms and signs include lethargy, decreased urine output, blood in the urine, kidney failure, low platelets, (which are needed for blood clotting), and destruction of red blood cells (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia). High blood pressure, jaundice (a yellow tinge in skin and the whites of the eyes), seizures, and bleeding into the skin can also occur. In some cases, there are prominent neurologic changes.
People with HUS commonly exhibit the symptoms of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which can include abdominal pain, low platelet count, elevated lactate dehydrogenase LDH, (an enzyme released from damaged cells, and which is therefore a marker of cellular damage) decreased haptoglobin (indicative of the breakdown of red blood cells) anemia (low red blood cell count), schistocytes (damaged red blood cells), elevated creatinine (a protein waste product generated by muscle metabolism and eliminated renally), proteinuria (indicative of kidney injury), confusion, fatigue, swelling, nausea/vomiting, and diarrhea. Additionally, patients with aHUS typically present with an abrupt onset of systemic signs and symptoms such as acute kidney failure, hypertension (high blood pressure), myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, lung complications, pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), liver necrosis (death of liver cells or tissue), encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), seizure, and coma. Failure of neurologic, cardiac, renal, and gastrointestinal (GI) organs, as well as death, can occur unpredictably at any time, either very quickly or following prolonged symptomatic or asymptomatic disease progression.
Cause
Typical HUS
Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) HUS occurs after ingestion of a strain of bacteria expressing Shiga toxin such as enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), of which E. coli O157:H7 is the most common serotype.
Atypical HUS
Atypical HUS (aHUS) represents 5–10% of HUS cases and is largely due to one or several genetic mutations that cause chronic, uncontrolled, and excessive activation of the complement system, which is a group of immune signaling factors that promote inflammation, enhance the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from the body, and directly attack the pathogen's cell membrane. This results in platelet activation, endothelial cell damage, and white blood cell activation, leading to systemic TMA, which manifests as decreased platelet count, hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells), damage to multiple organs, and ultimately death. Early signs of systemic complement-mediated TMA include thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 150,000 or a decrease from baseline of at least 25%) and evidence of microangiopathic hemolysis, which is characterized by elevated LDH levels, decreased haptoglobin, decreased hemoglobin (the oxygen-containing component of blood), and/or the presence of schistocytes. Despite the use of supportive care, an estimated 33–40% of patients will die or have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with the first clinical manifestation of aHUS, and 65% of patients will die, require dialysis, or have permanent renal damage within the first year after diagnosis despite plasma exchange or plasma infusion (PE/PI) therapy. Patients who survive the presenting signs and symptoms of aHUS endure a chronic thrombotic and inflammatory state, which puts them at lifelong elevated risk of sudden blood clotting, kidney failure, other severe complications and premature death.
Historically, treatment options for aHUS were limited to plasma exchange or plasma infusion (PE/PI) therapy, which carries significant risks and has not been proven effective in any controlled trials. People with aHUS and ESRD have also had to undergo lifelong dialysis, which has a 5-year survival rate of 34–38%.
Pathogenesis
HUS is caused by ingestion of bacteria that produce Shiga toxins, with Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) being the most common type. E. coli can produce shigatoxin-1, shigatoxin-2, or both; with shigatoxin-2 producing organisms being more virulent and being much more likely to cause HUS. Once ingested, the bacteria move to the intestines where the produce the Shiga toxins. The bacteria and toxins damage the mucosal lining of the intestines, and thus are able to gain entry into the circulation. Shiga toxin enters the mesenteric microvasculature lining the intestines where it releases inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-8, TNFα, and IL-1β. These inflammatory mediators lead to inflammation and vascular injury with microthrombi that are seen with HUS. It also further damages the intestinal barrier leading to diarrhea (usually bloody) and further entry of Shiga toxin from the intestines to the bloodstream as the intestinal barrier is compromised.
Once Shiga toxin enters the circulation it can travel throughout the body and cause the wide array of end organ damage and the multitude of symptoms seen with HUS. Shiga toxin gains entry to cells by binding to globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) which is a globoside found on cell membranes, it is found throughout the body including the surface of the glomerular endothelium of the kidney. Shiga toxin gains entry to the cell via Gb3 and endocytosis, it then is transported to the Golgi apparatus where furin cleaves the A subunit of the Shiga toxin. It is then transported to the endoplasmic reticulum where it is further cleaved, leaving the A1 subunit of Shiga toxin free. The A1 subunit of Shiga toxin inhibits the 28s subunit of the ribosomal rRNA, this leads to inhibited protein production by the ribosomes. With the cell's protein synthesis inhibited by Shiga toxin, the cell is destroyed. This leads to vascular injury (including in the kidneys where Gb3 is concentrated). The vascular injury facilitates the formation of vascular microthrombi which are characteristic of TTP. The TTP leads to platelet trapping (and thrombocytopenia), red blood cell destruction (and anemia), and end organ damage that is characteristically seen with HUS and TTP.
HUS is one of the thrombotic microangiopathies, a category of disorders that includes STEC-HUS, aHUS, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The release of cytokines and chemokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1β) that are commonly released by Shiga toxin are implicated in platelet activation and TTP. The presence of schistocytes is a key finding that helps to diagnose HUS.
Shiga-toxin directly activates the alternative complement pathway and also interferes with complement regulation by binding to complement factor H, an inhibitor of the complement cascade. Shiga-toxin causes complement-mediated platelet, leukocyte, and endothelial cell activation, resulting in systemic hemolysis, inflammation and thrombosis. Severe clinical complications of TMA have been reported in patients from 2 weeks to more than 44 days after presentation with STEC-HUS, with improvements in clinical condition extending beyond this time frame, suggesting that complement activation persists beyond the acute clinical presentation and for at least 4 months.
The consumption of platelets as they adhere to the thrombi lodged in the small vessels typically leads to mild or moderate thrombocytopenia with a platelet count of less than 60,000 per microliter. As in the related condition TTP, reduced blood flow through the narrowed blood vessels of the microvasculature leads to reduced blood flow to vital organs, and ischemia may develop. The kidneys and the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) are the parts of the body most critically dependent on high blood flow, and are thus the most likely organs to be affected. However, in comparison to TTP, the kidneys tend to be more severely affected in HUS, and the central nervous system is less commonly affected.
In contrast with typical disseminated intravascular coagulation seen with other causes of sepsis and occasionally with advanced cancer, coagulation factors are not consumed in HUS (or TTP) and the coagulation screen, fibrinogen level, and assays for fibrin degradation products such as "D-Dimers", are generally normal despite the low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
HUS occurs after 3–7% of all sporadic E. coli O157:H7 infections and up to approximately 20% or more of epidemic infections. Children and adolescents are commonly affected. One reason could be that children have more Gb3 receptors than adults which may be why children are more susceptible to HUS. Cattle, swine, deer, and other mammals do not have GB3 receptors, but can be asymptomatic carriers of Shiga toxin-producing bacteria. Some humans can also be asymptomatic carriers. Once the bacteria colonizes, diarrhea followed by bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, typically follows. Other serotypes of STEC also cause disease, inlduding HUS, as occurred with E. coli O104:H4, which triggered a 2011 epidemic of STEC-HUS in Germany.
Grossly, the kidneys may show patchy or diffuse renal cortical necrosis. Histologically, the glomeruli show thickened and sometimes split capillary walls due largely to endothelial swelling. Large deposits of fibrin-related materials in the capillary lumens, subendothelially, and in the mesangium are also found along with mesangiolysis. Interlobular and afferent arterioles show fibrinoid necrosis and intimal hyperplasia and are often occluded by thrombi.
STEC-HUS most often affects infants and young children, but also occurs in adults. The most common form of transmission is ingestion of undercooked meat, unpasteurized fruits and juices, contaminated produce, contact with unchlorinated water, and person-to-person transmission in daycare or long-term care facilities.
Unlike typical HUS, aHUS does not follow STEC infection and is thought to result from one or several genetic mutations that cause chronic, uncontrolled, and excessive activation of complement. This leads to platelet activation, endothelial cell damage, and white blood cell activation, leading to systemic TMA, which manifests as decreased platelet count, hemolysis, damage to multiple organs, and ultimately, death. Early signs of systemic complement-mediated TMA include thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 150,000 or a decrease from baseline of at least 25%) and evidence of microangiopathic hemolysis, which is characterized by elevated LDH levels, decreased haptoglobin, decreased hemoglobin, and/or the presence of schistocytes.
Diagnosis
The similarities between HUS, aHUS, and TTP make differential diagnosis essential. All three of these systemic TMA-causing diseases are characterized by thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolysis, plus one or more of the following: neurological symptoms (e.g., confusion, cerebral convulsions, seizures); renal impairment (e.g., elevated creatinine, decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], abnormal urinalysis); and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (e.g., diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis).The presence of diarrhea does not exclude aHUS as the cause of TMA, as 28% of patients with aHUS present with diarrhea and/or gastroenteritis. First diagnosis of aHUS is often made in the context of an initial, complement-triggering infection, and Shiga-toxin has also been implicated as a trigger that identifies patients with aHUS. Additionally, in one study, mutations of genes encoding several complement regulatory proteins were detected in 8 of 36 (22%) patients diagnosed with STEC-HUS. However, the absence of an identified complement regulatory gene mutation does not preclude aHUS as the cause of the TMA, as approximately 50% of patients with aHUS lack an identifiable mutation in complement regulatory genes.
Diagnostic work-up supports the differential diagnosis of TMA-causing diseases. A positive Shiga-toxin/EHEC test confirms a cause for STEC-HUS, and severe ADAMTS13 deficiency (i.e., ≤5% of normal ADAMTS13 levels) confirms a diagnosis of TTP.
Prevention
The effect of antibiotics in shiga toxin producing E. coli is unclear. While some early studies raised concerns more recent studies show either no effect or a benefit.
Treatment
Treatment involves supportive care and may include dialysis, steroids, blood transfusions, and plasmapheresis. Early IV fluid hydration is associated with better outcomes including shorter hospital stays and reducing the risk of dialysis.
Empiric antibiotics are not indicated in those who are immunocompetent, and may worsen the HUS. Antidiarrheals and narcotic medications to slow the gut are not recommended as they are associated with worsening symptoms, increased risk of HUS in those with STEC infection, and adverse neurologic reactions. Platelet transfusions should not be used as the may drive the process of microangiopathy leading to worsening TTP.
While eculizumab is being used to treat atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, no evidence as of 2018 supports its use in the main forms of HUS. Scientists are trying to understand how useful it would be to immunize humans or cattle.
Prognosis
Acute renal failure occurs in 55–70% of people with STEC-HUS, although up to 70–85% recover renal function. With aggressive treatment, more than 90% of patients survive the acute phase of HUS, and only about 9% may develop ESRD. Roughly one-third of persons with HUS have abnormal kidney function many years later, and a few require long-term dialysis. Another 8% of persons with HUS have other lifelong complications, such as high blood pressure, seizures, blindness, paralysis, and the effects of having part of their colon removed. STEC-HUS is associated with a 3% mortality rate among young children and a 20% mortality rate in middle age or older adults. 15-20% of children infected with STEC develop HUS, with the highest risk being in children younger than 5 years old.
Patients with aHUS generally have poor outcomes, with up to 50% progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or irreversible brain damage; as many as 25% die during the acute phase.
History
HUS is now considered as a part of the broader group of Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA). Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a TMA, was first described by the Hungarian born, American pathologist and physician Eli Moschcowitz (18791964). In 1924, Moschcowitz first described TTP as a distinct clinicopathologic condition that can mimic the clinical characteristics of Hemolytic–uremic syndrome (HUS). That was in a 16-year-old girl who died 2 weeks after the abrupt onset and progression of petechial bleeding, pallor, fever, paralysis, hematuria and coma; and called "Moschcowitz disease". Moreover, Moschcowitz was among the first to work in psychosomatic medicine, and he presented a paper in 1935 on the psychological origins of physical disease. HUS was first described by Conrad Gasser in 1955, and the systemic character of HUS was subsequently defined. Bernard Kaplan identified several distinct entities that can manifest as HUS and emphasized that HUS was a syndrome with a common pathologic outcome. Kaplan is a Canadian professor and director of Pediatric Nephrology. He has an international reputation for his studies, over the past 34 years, on the hemolytic uremic syndromes. The discovery that endothelial cell injury underlies this broad spectrum of TMA disorders has come into focus during the last two decades. In the 1980s, Mohamed Karmali (1945-2016) was the first to make the association between Stx, diarrheal E. coli infection and the idiopathic hemolytic uremic syndrome of infancy and childhood. Karmali's work showed that the hemolytic uremic syndrome the children in Canada was caused by this particular bacteria. Karmali also developed the system of classifying strains of E.coli and determining which cause disease in humans. He defined the presence of microvascular injury in diarrhea-associated HUS and the critical role of a verotoxin produced by specific strains of Escherichia coli. This verotoxin was subsequently found to be a member of a family of toxins first identified with Shigella and known as Shiga toxin (Stx). This relationship and the eventual link of TTP to abnormally high levels of ultra-large Von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers caused by congenital or acquired reductions in ADAMTS13 activity was established at approximately the same time. In 1924, a Finnish physician Erik Adolf von Willebrand (1870-1949) was consulted about a young girl with a bleeding disorder. Von Willebrand described this disorder in 1926, distinguishing it from hemophilia. The disorder was named after him, becoming known as von Willebrand disease. The cause of the disease was later discovered to be a deficiency of a protein, now known as von Willebrand factor, that enables hemostasis. Paul Warwicker is an English nephrologist, whilst in Newcastle in the mid 1990s his research in molecular genetics with Professors Tim and Judith Goodship led to the genetic mapping of the familial form of atypical HUS and the descriptions of the first HUS-related mutations and polymorphisms in the factor H gene in both familial and sporadic HUS. He was awarded an MD in molecular genetics in 2000, and elected fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in the same year. Paul Warwicker confirmed the association of atypical HUS (aHUS) to defects in a region on chromosome 1 that contains the genes for several complement regulatory proteins. Later, mutations in complement factor H, complement factor I, membrane cofactor protein, factor B, C3, and thrombomodulin have now been found to cause many of the familial cases of aHUS. These discoveries have allowed a more comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis, evaluation, and treatment of the entire spectrum of TMA disorders and provide a more rational and effective approach to the care of these children with complicated disease. Prior to the use of monoclonal antibodies patients with aHUS had an extremely poor prognosis. Eculizumab (Soliris®, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Boston, MA, USA) is a humanized monoclonal complement inhibitor that is the first and only approved treatment for patients with aHUS by FDA in September 2011. Eculizumab binds with high affinity to C5, inhibiting C5 cleavage to C5a and C5b and preventing the generation of the terminal complement complex C5b-9, thus inhibiting complement-mediated TMA. Eculizumab was proven to be effective in patients with aHUS in which it resolved and prevented complement-mediated TMA, improving renal function and hematologic outcomes. Alexion head of R&D 'John Orloff, M.D. "The results met the high bar of complete TMA response, defined by hematologic normalization and improved kidney function," said Alexion R&D head John Orloff, M.D., who reckons the drug can become the "new standard of care for patients with aHUS." "We are preparing regulatory submissions for Ultomiris in aHUS in the U.S., European Union and Japan as quickly as possible," he added.
Epidemiology
The country with the highest incidence of HUS is Argentina and it performs a key role in the research of this condition.
In the United States, the overall incidence of HUS is estimated at 2.1 cases per 100,000 persons/year, with a peak incidence between six months and four years of age.
HUS and the E. coli infections that cause it have been the source of much negative publicity for the FDA, meat industries, and fast-food restaurants since the 1990s, especially in the contaminations linked to Jack in the Box restaurants. In 2006, an epidemic of harmful E. coli emerged in the United States due to contaminated spinach. In June 2009, Nestlé Toll House cookie dough was linked to an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 in the United States, which sickened 70 people in 30 states.
In May 2011 an epidemic of bloody diarrhea caused by E. coli O104:H4-contaminated fenugreek seeds hit Germany. Tracing the epidemic revealed more than 3,800 cases, with HUS developing in more than 800 of the cases, including 36 fatal cases. Nearly 90% of the HUS cases were in adults.

Gonzales (27 January 1977 – after 1996) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Unraced as a two-year-old he established himself as a high-class stayer in the following year winning the Gallinule Stakes, Blandford Stakes, and Irish St Leger as well as starting favourite for the Prix du Jockey Club. He was then sent to the United States where he was campaigned for two years to little effect. He made little impact as a breeding stallion.
Background
Gonzales was a "big" bay horse with a white star bred in Kentucky by Nelson Bunker Hunt. As a yearling he was put up for auction and sold for $750,000 to representatives of the British businessman Robert Sangster. He was sent to Europe where he was trained by Vincent O'Brien at Ballydoyle
His sire, Vaguely Noble, won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1968 before becoming a successful breeding stallion whose best progeny included Dahlia, Exceller and Empery. Gonzales' dam Gazala was an exceptional racehorse who won the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and the Prix de Diane in 1967. She was even better as a broodmare producing several good winners including Youth and Gonzales' full-brother Mississippian (Grand Critérium).
Racing career
1980: three-year-old season
Gonzales was not raced as a juvenile and began his track career in a minor race over ten furlongs at Leopardstown Racecourse in April 1980 and won by six lengths. He was then moved up in class and distance for the Gallinule Stakes over one and a half miles at the Curragh in May in which he was ridden by Lester Piggott and won by three lengths from Dermot Weld-trained Good Thyne. Piggott was again in the saddle on 8 June when Gonzales was sent to France and started 9/4 favourite for the Prix du Jockey Club over 2400 metres at Chantilly Racecourse. After being restrained towards the rear of the field he stayed on steadily in the straight but never looked likely to win and finished fifth behind Policeman.
After a break of three months, Gonzales returned in the Blandford Stakes over one and a half miles at the Curragh in which he was ridden by Tommy Murphy. He started the odds-on favourite and won by a neck from the five-year-old mare My Hollow. Later that month he was stepped back up to Group 1 class for the Joe McGrath Memorial Stakes over ten furlongs at Leopardstown and finished fifth behind his four-year-old stablemate Gregorian, looking to be outpaced in the closing stages. On 11 October, Gonzales was stepped up in distance for the Irish St Leger over one and three-quarter miles at the Curragh in which he was partnered as in his last start by Raymond Carroll. Racing on soft ground he was made the 4/7 favourite ahead of Ramian (third in the Irish Derby) and Good Thyne whilst the other five runners were Capitano, Sheringham, Prancing Prince, El Cito and Sir Mordred. After tracking the leaders in the early stages Gonzales went to the front half a mile from the finish and drew away from his rivals in the straight to win easily by five lengths from Good Thyne with another three lengths back to El Cito in third place.
At the end of the year, the independent Timeform organization gave Gonzales a rating of 120, fifteen pounds inferior to their best stayer Le Moss and seventeen pounds behind their Horse of the Year Moorestyle.
Later career
In 1981 Gonzales was sent to the United States where he was trained by Charles E. Whittingham and raced in the colors of Gainesway Farm. In that summer he ran three times at Hollywood Park Racetrack, running third in two allowance races and then finishing unplaced behind Galaxy Libra in the Sunset Handicap. He remained in training as a five-year-old in 1982 but made only one track appearance, running second in an allowance at Santa Anita Park in February.
Stud record
At the end of his racing career, Gonzales was retired to become a breeding stallion in the United States, before being returned to Europe where he was based in Germany from 1991. He does not appear to have sired any significant winners in either location.

Oswestry Town Football Club was a football club from Shropshire, playing at Victoria Road. They joined the Birmingham League in 1924 and switched to the Cheshire County League in 1959. In 1975 they made the move to the Southern League before transferring to the Northern Premier League in 1979.
The club was mothballed in 1988, but started playing again in 1993 in the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area). They played in the League of Wales from 2000 to 2003, at Park Hall, and in 2003 merged with Total Network Solutions F.C. (formerly Llansantffraid F.C.). In 2006 the merged club was renamed as The New Saints.

History
Founded in 2011, the Surge played seven seasons and won two national championships and five regional championships in the Women’s Blue-Chip Basketball League (WBCBL) before moving to the GWBA. The GWBA features five teams, and the Surge's owner, Khalia Collier, serves as the league's commissioner. The league aims to grow women's basketball by featuring teams in locations lacking the sport, and teams play games in university facilities, or in the case of the Wisconsin GLO, in the Wisconsin Herd's NBA G League arena.

Winterham (also called "Ham", according to the USGS) is a mostly rural unincorporated community in central Amelia County in the U.S. state of Virginia, lying along at the northern terminus of SR 628 (Butlers Road). Its elevation is 338 feet (103 m) above sea level. Winterham is served by the volunteer fire department and post office at the county seat, Amelia Court House (ZIP code 23002), approximately 3 miles southwest.
History
Name and origin
"Winterham" is one of the oldest surviving placenames in Amelia County, dating back at least to the mid-1700s. Its precise origin is unclear, but the suffix "-ham" derives from Scots hame or Old English hām, meaning "home", "estate", or "village". The earliest uses of "Winterham" probably referred not to the town but to the Winterham Plantation, approximately 4 miles northwest, whose manor house and dependencies were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. A post office was established at the town of Winterham by 1853, and by the early 1900s the town was a freight stop, at Milepost 34, on what was then the Southern Railway, originally the Richmond and Danville Railroad. The railroad station and post office have since closed, although the railroad track, which parallels US 360 before the highway curves southeastward at Winterham, is still used by freight trains, and is now owned by the Norfolk Southern Railway.
African American churches
Mt. Olive Baptist, a historic African American church, is located 1/2 mile northeast of Winterham on SR 705 (Mt. Olive Lane, a short loop segment of old US 360). Just to the east, also on Route 705, Mt. Herman Presbyterian was once the meeting place of a separate African American congregation. Built in the late 1800s, the structure had fallen into disrepair (see photo) before being privately renovated in 2020. Church of the Holy Cross, a Reformed Episcopal congregation, was meeting regularly in the restored building as of 2023.
Morefield Mine
Morefield Mine, one of several rock and gem mines that have been worked profitably in Amelia County, is located on Route 628 approximately 1 mile southeast of Winterham, atop an unusually long and thick vein of pegmatite that contains a number of rare minerals. Since its opening in 1929, Morefield Mine has provided mica, feldspar, and gems, many of museum quality, operating intermittently as a working mine, tourist attraction, and sometimes both simultaneously. Amelia County contains some of the most extensive mica and feldspar deposits in Virginia.

Harigopal Bal or Baul () popularly called as Tegra (1915 — 22 April 1930) was a Bengali revolutionary who took part in revolutionary activities against British rule in India.
Bal was born in 1915, at the village Kanungopara in Chittagong, Bengal (now in Bangladesh). His father was Pran Krishna Bal. Harigopal Bal joined the revolutionaries and took part in the Chittagong Armoury Raid on 18 April 1930 with his elder brother Lokenath Bal. After the abortive raid, Bal escaped. Four days later, he was injured after being shot while fighting against British troops on Jalalabad Hill, near Chittagong. He died on 22 April 1930.
Film adaptations
A film Chittagong released in October 2012, directed by Dr. Bedabrata Pain, shows role of Harigopal Bal (called by his nickname "Tegra" in the movie) in the Chittagong Armoury raid. Manoj Bajpai was the lead actor and played the role of Surya Sen.

The Kawit shooting was a mass murder that occurred in barangay Tabon 1 in Kawit, Philippines, on January 4, 2013. 41-year-old Ronald Baquiran Bae killed at least seven people and a dog and wounded twelve other people with a semiautomatic pistol, before he was shot and killed by police. Another man, 27-year-old John Paul Lopez, who was said to have been employed by Bae as his house caretaker, was later arrested for assisting the gunman during the shooting by reloading his pistol magazine. The motive of the suspect is unclear, officials said.
The shooting
The shooting began just after 9:00 a.m., when Bae, together with Lopez, went to a neighbor's house and shot at Maricel Pajal who was doing her laundry. The two then proceeded to the residence of the Caimol family where he encountered the three Caimol children, among them his godchild Ken Cedric Caimol. He asked the children for the whereabouts of their father, Berto, to which they replied that he was not there. Bae then drew a .45-caliber Colt 1911 and shot the children, killing 7-year-old Michaella, and seriously wounding her 3-year-old brother and 2-year-old sister.
Bae and Lopez then left and, while running through the street, Bae fired at anyone in his path, while Lopez would reload his pistol when he ran out of ammunition. During this moment, he killed a dog and its owner, 55-year-old Alberto Fernandez, who was standing at the porch of his house. He then proceeded to a nearby alley and went inside houses shooting at every person he encountered including a pregnant woman named Rhea de Vera, who was shot in the stomach, and her 3-year-old daughter John Monica. He exited the alley and proceeded to the main road of the village still firing at anyone he encountered. He arrived at a small market (talipapa) where he killed tricycle driver Boyet Toledo, fruit vendor Irene Funelas, and taho vendor Al Orio.
Afterwards Bae returned to his home, where soon police arrived and asked him to surrender, though the gunman started shooting at police, until he was eventually killed when officers returned fire. Overall the shooting had lasted for about 30 minutes. Lopez on the other hand disappeared after the shooting, and a reward of was offered for information that would lead to his arrest, though he eventually surrendered himself to police and was taken into custody.
Victims
Michaella Andrea Caimol, 7
Rhea de Vera y Alberto, 34, pregnant
John Monica de Vera, 3, daughter of Rhea de Vera
Alberto Fernandez y Jaminal, 55
Irene Funelas, 40
Al Orio, 20
Boyet Toledo, 44
Another person named Adoracion Cabrera was also reported killed by the Cavite provincial government.
Among those wounded were: Baby Anolacion, 33, Emelinda Aquipel y De Vella, 41, Enrique Aquipel, Cheveri Jaminal Ayson, Jemerlen Ayson, 46, Dovie Cabrera y Magsino, 66, Ken Cedric Caimol, 3, Michelle Caimol, 2, Ricky Diola Dumip-ig, 17, Antonio Orio, 15, Maricel Pajal, 27, Raul Ravelo, 73 and Kevin Magarago Vallada, 6.
Perpetrator
Bae was born on November 9, 1971. It is believed that he murdered Teodulo Villanueva in 2003. Very little is known about his early life.
Aftermath
After Lopez had hinted to investigators that Bae had already killed other people in previous years and buried their bodies around his house, police searched the area and unearthed the skeletal remains of a human being. According to Lopez they belonged to Teodulo Villanueva, a former helper of Bae, whom he murdered in 2003 for duping him in connection with his fighting cocks.

Martino Cignaroli (1649 – January 10, 1726) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He was the elder son of Giambettino Cignaroli's uncle.
Biography
Also called il Veronese, he was born and studied in Verona with Giulio Carpioni. He mainly painted both religious frescoes and landscapes. His landscapes are described as populated with small figures in a Flemish style. He worked in Crema and Milan, until 1714 when he was asked to paint for the court of King of Sardinia, then in Turin. He traveled there with Scipione.
His Cignaroli family line produced over a dozen artists and artisans. Martino's son Scipione became a pupil of Pieter Mulier II (Cavalier Tempesta). Martino's grandson, Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli (1730–1800), was a known landscape painter for the House of Savoy in Turin. Martino's great grandson Angelo Cignaroli, was a painter of veduta, died in 1842. Another pupil of Martino was Giovanni Murari.

The entirety of Germany was occupied and administrated by the Allies of World War II from the Berlin Declaration on 5 June 1945 to the establishment of West Germany on 23 May 1949. Unlike occupied Japan, Germany was stripped of its sovereignty and former state: after Nazi Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945, four countries representing the Allies (the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and France) asserted joint authority and sovereignty through the Allied Control Council (ACC) under the Berlin Declaration of 5 June 1945 that led to the fall of the German Reich. At first, Allied-occupied Germany was defined as all territories of Germany before the 1938 Nazi annexation of Austria; the Potsdam Agreement on 2 August 1945 defined the new eastern German border by giving Poland and the Soviet Union all regions of Germany east of the Oder–Neisse line (eastern parts of Pomerania, Neumark, Posen-West Prussia, East-Prussia and almost Silesia) and divided the remaining "Germany as a whole" into four occupation zones, each administered by one of the Allies.
All territories annexed by Germany before the war from Austria and Czechoslovakia were returned to these countries. The Memel Territory, annexed by Germany from Lithuania before the war, was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1945 and transferred to the Lithuanian SSR. All territories annexed by Germany during the war from Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland and Yugoslavia were returned to their respective countries.
Deviating from the occupation zones planned according to the London Protocol in 1944, at Potsdam, the United States, United Kingdom and the Soviet Union approved the detachment from Germany of the territories east of the Oder–Neisse line, with the exact line of the boundary to be determined in a final German peace treaty. This treaty was expected to confirm the shifting westward of Poland's borders, as the United Kingdom and United States committed themselves to support the permanent incorporation of eastern Germany into Poland and the Soviet Union. From March 1945 to July 1945, these former eastern territories of Germany had been administered under Soviet military occupation authorities, but following the Potsdam Agreement they were handed over to Soviet and Polish civilian administrations and ceased to constitute part of Allied-occupied Germany.
In the closing weeks of fighting in Europe, United States forces had pushed beyond the agreed boundaries for the future zones of occupation, in some places by as much as . The so-called line of contact between Soviet and U.S. forces at the end of hostilities, mostly lying eastward of the July 1945-established inner German border, was temporary. After two months in which they had held areas that had been assigned to the Soviet zone, U.S. forces withdrew in the first days of July 1945. Some have concluded that this was a crucial move that persuaded the Soviet Union to allow American, British and French forces into their designated sectors in Berlin, which occurred at roughly the same time, although the need for intelligence gathering (Operation Paperclip) may also have been a factor. On 20 March 1948, the Soviets withdrew from the Allied Control Council; later leading to the establishment of the two German states in East and West both in 1949.
Occupation zones
American zone
The American zone in Southern Germany consisted of Bavaria (without the Rhine Palatinate Region and the Lindau District, both part of the French zone) and Hesse (without Rhenish Hesse and Montabaur Region, both part of the French zone) with a new capital in Wiesbaden, and of northern parts of Württemberg and Baden. Those formed Württemberg-Baden and became northern portions of the present-day German state of Baden-Württemberg founded in 1952.
The ports of Bremen (on the lower Weser River) and Bremerhaven (at the Weser estuary of the North Sea) were also placed under U.S. control because of the U.S. request to have certain toeholds in Northern Germany.
At the end of October 1946, the American zone had a population of:
Bavaria 8.7 million
Hesse 3.97 million
Württemberg-Baden 3.6 million
Bremen 0.48 million
The headquarters of the American military government was the former IG Farben Building in Frankfurt am Main.
Following the complete closure of all Nazi German media, the launch and operation of completely new newspaper titles began by licensing carefully selected Germans as publishers. Licenses were granted to Germans not involved in Nazi propaganda to establish those newspapers, including Frankfurter Rundschau (August 1945), Der Tagesspiegel (Berlin; September 1945), and Süddeutsche Zeitung (Munich; October 1945). Radio stations were run by the military government. Later, Radio Frankfurt, Radio München (Munich) and Radio Stuttgart gave way for the Hessischer Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk, and Süddeutscher Rundfunk, respectively. The RIAS in West-Berlin remained a radio station under U.S. control.
British zone
By May 1945 the British and Canadian Armies had liberated the Netherlands and had conquered Northern Germany. The Canadian forces went home following the German surrender, leaving Northern Germany to be occupied by the British.
The British Army of the Rhine was formed on 25 August 1945 from the British Liberation Army.
In July the British withdrew from Mecklenburg's capital Schwerin which they had taken over from the Americans a few weeks before, as it had previously been agreed to be occupied by the Soviet Army. The Control Commission for Germany (British Element) (CCG/BE) ceded more slices of its area of occupation to the Soviet Union – specifically the Amt Neuhaus of Hanover and some exclaves and fringes of Brunswick, for example the County of Blankenburg, and exchanged some villages between British Holstein and Soviet Mecklenburg under the Barber-Lyashchenko Agreement.
Within the British zone of occupation, the CCG/BE re-established the city of Hamburg as a German state, but with borders that had been drawn by the Nazi government in 1937. The British also created the new German states of:
Schleswig-Holstein – emerging in 1946 from the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein;
Lower Saxony – the merger of Brunswick, Oldenburg, and Schaumburg-Lippe with the state of Hanover in 1946; and
North Rhine-Westphalia – the merger of Lippe with the Prussian provinces of the Rhineland (northern part) and Westphalia – during 1946–47.
Also in 1947, the American zone of occupation being inland had no port facilities – thus the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and Bremerhaven became exclaves within the British zone.
At the end of October 1946, the British zone had a population of:
North Rhine-Westphalia 11.7 million
Lower Saxony 6.2 million
Schleswig-Holstein 2.6 million
Hamburg 1.4 million
The British headquarters were originally based in Bad Oeynhausen from 1946, but in 1954 it was moved to Mönchengladbach where it was known as JHQ Rheindahlen.
Another special feature of the British zone was the enclave of Bonn. It was created in July 1949 and was not under British or any other allied control. Instead it was under the control of the Allied High Commission. In June 1950, Ivone Kirkpatrick became the British High Commissioner for Germany. Kirkpatrick carried immense responsibility particularly with respect to the negotiation of the Bonn–Paris conventions during 1951–1952, which terminated the occupation and prepared the way for the rearmament of West Germany.
Belgian, Polish and Norwegian zones
Army units from other countries were stationed within the British occupation zone.
The Belgians were allocated a territory which was garrisoned by their troops. The zone formed a strip from the Belgian-German border at the south of the British zone, and included the important cities of Cologne and Aachen. The Belgian army of occupation in Germany (known as the Belgian Forces in Germany from 1951) became autonomous in 1946 under the command, initially, of Jean-Baptiste Piron. Belgian soldiers remained in Germany until 31 December 2005.
Polish units mainly from 1st Armoured Division were stationed in the northern area of the district of Emsland as well as in the areas of Oldenburg and Leer. This region bordered the Netherlands and covered an area of 6,500 km2, and was originally intended to serve as a collection and dispersal territory for the millions of Polish displaced persons in Germany and Western Europe after the war. Early British proposals for this to form the basis of a formal Polish zone of occupation, were however, soon abandoned due to Soviet opposition. The zone had a large camp constructed largely for displaced persons and was administered by the Polish government in exile. The administrative centre of the Polish occupation zone was the city of Haren the German population of which was temporarily removed. The city was renamed Maczków (after Stanisław Maczek) from 1945 to 1947. Once the British recognised the pro-Soviet government in Poland, and withdrew recognition from the London-based Polish government in exile, the Emsland zone became more of an embarrassment. Polish units within the British Army were demobilised in June 1947. The expelled German populations were allowed to return and the last Polish residents left in 1948.
In 1946, the Norwegian Brigade Group in Germany had 4,000 soldiers in Hanover; amongst whom was future Chancellor Willy Brandt (then a Norwegian citizen) as press attaché.
In 1947 (during summer), a Danish Brigade in Germany of 4,000 men, under British command, occupied Oldenburg, after an agreement, signed at Copenhagen in April 1947, between Denmark and United Kingdom. A Danish Occupation Force was formally established on 7 October 1949. The headquarters was in the town of Jever, in East Friesland. However, it was decided to move the brigade to Itzehoe in October 1949, naming itself as Tysklandsbrigaden. It remained stationed at Itzehoe, under the name of The Danish Command in Germany, until 1958.
The London conference of 23 April 1949, during the Six-Power Conference, give to the Netherlands some less far-reaching border modifications, after the failure of Bakker-Schut Plan. So, at 12 noon that day, Dutch troops moved to occupy an area of 69 km2 (17,000 acres), the most relevants parts were Elten (near Emmerich am Rhein) and Selfkant. Many other small border corrections were done, mostly in the vicinity of Arnhem and Dinxperlo, which also were part of this small Dutch sub-zone of occupation.
French zone
The French Republic was at first not granted an occupation zone in Germany, but the British and American governments later agreed to cede some western parts of their zones of occupation to the French Army. In April and May 1945, the French 1st Army had captured Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, and conquered a territory extending to Hitler's Eagle's Nest and the westernmost part of Austria. In July, the French relinquished Stuttgart to the Americans, and in exchange were given control over cities west of the Rhine such as Mainz and Koblenz. All this resulted in two barely contiguous areas of Germany along the French border which met at just a single point along the River Rhine. Three German states (Land) were established: Rheinland Pfalz in the north and west and on the other hand Württemberg-Hohenzollern and South Baden, who later formed Baden-Württemberg together with Württemberg-Baden of the American zone.
The French zone of occupation included the Saargebiet, which was disentangled from it on 16 February 1946. By 18 December 1946 customs controls were established between the Saar area and Allied-occupied Germany. The French zone ceded further areas adjacent to the Saar (in mid-1946, early 1947, and early 1949). Included in the French zone was the town of Büsingen am Hochrhein, a German exclave separated from the rest of the country by a narrow strip of neutral Swiss territory. The Swiss government agreed to allow limited numbers of French troops to pass through its territory in order to maintain law and order in Büsingen.
At the end of October 1946, the French zone had a population of:
Rheinland Pfalz 2.7 million
Baden (South Baden) 1.2 million
Württemberg-Hohenzollern 1.05 million
(The Saar Protectorate had a further 0.8 million.)

From November 1945, Luxembourg was allocated a zone within the French sector. The Luxembourg 2nd Infantry Battalion was garrisoned in Bitburg and the 1st Battalion was sent to Saarburg. The final Luxembourg forces in Germany, in Bitburg, left in 1955.
Soviet zone
The Soviet occupation zone incorporated Thuringia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Soviet Military Administration was headquartered in Berlin-Karlshorst, which also came to house the chief rezidentura of Soviet intelligence in Germany.
At the end of October 1946, the Soviet zone had a population of:
Saxony: 5.5 million
Saxony-Anhalt: 4.1 million
Thuringia: 2.9 million
Brandenburg: 2.5 million
Mecklenburg: 2.1 million
Berlin
While located wholly within the Soviet zone, because of its symbolic importance as the nation's capital and seat of the former Nazi government, the city of Berlin was jointly occupied by the Allied powers and subdivided into four sectors. All four occupying powers were entitled to privileges throughout Berlin that were not extended to the rest of Germany – this included the Soviet sector of Berlin, which was legally separate from the rest of the Soviet zone.
At the end of October 1946, Berlin had a population of:
Western sectors 2.0 million
Soviet sector 1.1 million
Lost territory
In 1945 Germany east of the Oder–Neisse line was assigned to Poland by the Potsdam Conference to be "temporarily administered" pending the Final Peace Treaty on Germany between the four Allies and a future German state; eventually (under the September 1990 Peace Treaty) the northern portion of East Prussia became the Kaliningrad Oblast within the Soviet Union (today Russian Federation). A small area west of the Oder, near Szczecin, also fell to Poland. Most German citizens residing in these areas were subsequently expropriated and expelled. Returning refugees, who had fled from war hostilities, were denied return.
Saarland, an area in the French occupation zone, was separated from Allied-occupied Germany to become a French protectorate with its constitution took effect on 17 December 1947, however the separation was opposed by the Soviet Union and Germans here were not expelled.
Population
In October 1946, the population of the various zones and sectors was as follows:
Governance and the emergence of two German states
The original Allied plan to govern Germany as a single unit through the Allied Control Council de facto broke down on 20 March 1948 (restored on 3 September 1971) in the context of growing tensions between the Allies, with Britain and the US wishing cooperation, France obstructing any collaboration in order to partition Germany into many independent states, and especially: the Soviet Union unilaterally implementing from early on elements of a Marxist political-economic system (enforced redistribution of land, nationalisation of businesses). Another dispute was the absorption of post-war expellees. While the UK, the US and the Soviet Union had agreed to accept, house and feed about six million expelled German citizens from former eastern Germany and four million expelled and denaturalised Czechoslovaks, Poles, Hungarians and Yugoslavs of German ethnicity in their zones, France generally had not agreed to the expulsions approved by the Potsdam agreement (a decision made without input from France). Therefore, France strictly refused to absorb war refugees who were denied return to their homes in seized eastern German territories or destitute post-war expellees who had been expropriated there, into the French zone, let alone into the separated Saar protectorate. However, the native population, returning after Nazi-imposed removals (e.g., political and Jewish refugees) and war-related relocations (e.g., evacuation from air raids), were allowed to return home in the areas under French control. The other Allies complained that they had to shoulder the burden to feed, house and clothe the expellees who had to leave their belongings behind.
In practice, each of the four occupying powers wielded government authority in their respective zones and carried out different policies toward the population and local and state governments there. A uniform administration of the western zones evolved, known first as the Bizone (the American and British zones merged as of 1 January 1947) and later the Trizone (after inclusion of the French zone). The complete breakdown of east–west allied cooperation and joint administration in Germany became clear with the Soviet imposition of the Berlin Blockade that was enforced from June 1948 to May 1949. The three western zones were merged to form the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) i.e. West Germany in May 1949, and after that the Soviets followed suit in October 1949 with the establishment of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) i.e. East Germany.
In the west, the occupation continued until 5 May 1955, when the General Treaty () entered into force. However, upon the creation of the Federal Republic in May 1949, the military governors were replaced by civilian high commissioners, whose powers lay somewhere between those of a governor and those of an ambassador. When the Deutschlandvertrag became law, the occupation ended, the western occupation zones ceased to exist, and the high commissioners were replaced by normal ambassadors. West Germany was also allowed to build a military, and the Bundeswehr, or Federal Defense Force, was established on 12 November 1955.
A similar situation occurred in East Germany. The GDR was founded on 7 October 1949. On 10 October the Soviet Military Administration in Germany was replaced by the Soviet Control Commission, although limited sovereignty was not granted to the GDR government until 11 November 1949. After the death of Joseph Stalin in March 1953, the Soviet Control Commission was replaced with the office of the Soviet High Commissioner on 28 May 1953. This office was abolished (and replaced by an ambassador) and (general) sovereignty was granted to the GDR, when the Soviet Union concluded a state treaty (Staatsvertrag) with the GDR on 20 September 1955. On 1 March 1956, the GDR established a military, the National People's Army (NVA).
Despite the grants of general sovereignty to both German states in 1955, full and unrestricted sovereignty under international law was not enjoyed by any German government until after the reunification of Germany in October 1990. Though West Germany was effectively independent, the western Allies maintained limited legal jurisdiction over 'Germany as a whole' in respect of West Germany and Berlin. At the same time, East Germany progressed from being a satellite state of the Soviet Union to increasing independence of action; while still deferring in matters of security to Soviet authority. The provisions of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, also known as the "Two-plus-Four Treaty", granting full sovereign powers to Germany did not become law until 15 March 1991, after all of the participating governments had ratified the treaty. As envisaged by the Treaty, the last occupation troops departed from Germany when the Russian presence was terminated in 1994, although the Belgian Forces in Germany stayed in German territory until the end of 2005.
A 1956 plebiscite ended the French administration of the Saar protectorate, and it joined the Federal Republic as Saarland on 1 January 1957, becoming its tenth state.
The city of Berlin was not part of either state and de jure continued to be under Allied occupation of the four countries until the reunification of Germany in October 1990. For administrative purposes, the three western sectors of Berlin were merged into the entity of West Berlin being de facto part of the FRG. The Soviet sector became known as East Berlin and while not recognised by the Western powers as a part of East Germany, the GDR declared it its capital (Hauptstadt der DDR).
Occupation policy
Allied aims with respect to postwar Germany were first laid out at the Yalta Conference, where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin signed an agreement stating that they intended to: disarm and disband the German armed forces; break up the German General Staff; remove or destroy all German military equipment; eliminate or control German industry that could be used for military production; punish war criminals; exact reparations for damage done by Germany; wipe out the Nazi party and its institutions; remove all Nazi and militarist influences from public life; and take any other measures in Germany as might be necessary to ensure future peace and safety. The consensus among the Allies was that it was necessary to ensure Germany could not cause further world wars, but beyond that their opinion on what Germany's future should look like differed.
US occupation policy
The US originally considered a punitive approach championed by Roosevelt's Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jr. (the "Morgenthau Plan"). Under this plan, Germany would have been broken into four autonomous states and not only demilitarized but also deindustrialized to the point of becoming chiefly agrarian. The Morgenthau plan was opposed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull and War Secretary Henry L. Stimson, and Roosevelt distanced himself from the idea after it was reported on by major American newspapers. Ultimately, US occupation policy came to be determined chiefly by the War Department, with long-term objectives summed up by the four Ds: .
Initially, the US was extremely rigorous in its efforts to prevent fraternization with German civilians. US soldiers were forbidden to shake hands with Germans, visit their homes, play games or sports with them, exchange gifts, take part in social events, or walk in the streets with them. How strictly this policy was applied varied from place to place, but in many places the restrictions were frequently ignored, as a result of which the policy was quickly abandoned. Germans were also prohibited from inhabiting any part of a building in which US soldiers were housed, leading to large numbers of Germans being ejected from their homes.
British occupation policy
British occupation policy was similar to that of the United States, but with a greater focus on economic problems. The British Occupation Zone included the Ruhr industrial region, which had experienced the heaviest bombing and therefore faced the greatest shortages of housing and food. Initial British occupation directives were concerned primarily with economic considerations and food supply.
To further the long-term aim of democratization, the British implemented government modeled on the UK system, placing heavy emphasis on local level democracy. The goal was to create a British-style administration with employees who viewed themselves as public servants, on the basis that this would help to reeducate Germans to democratic modes of thought. To that end the British introduced new local government structures, including a nonpolitical position similar to the English town clerk ("city director") that replaced the office of mayor.
In general, the British believed strongly in reeducation as a means to achieve democracy, which led them to prioritize the reestablishment of schooling and university education in their zone.
French occupation policy
The French were less concerned with improving Germany's moral and civic character, focusing instead on ensuring France's future security and utilizing the resources of their occupation zone to facilitate economic recovery within France itself. Since one of their key goals was to ensure that Germany would never again be in a position to threaten France, the French were strongly opposed to a unified approach to occupation, and favored political structures that were as decentralized as possible.
On the economic front, the French seized the opportunity to extract coal and steel resources from the Saar region, fusing it with France in a customs and currency union and encouraging the development of export industries. As a result, the French managed to extract a surprlus from their occupation zone, and prevented it from becoming a financial liability the way the British and American zones were to their respective occupying powers.
Soviet occupation policy
Soviet aims in Germany were similar to those of the French, with the primary goals being to prevent future aggression by Germany and to extract reparations.
Political activity in the Soviet occupation zone was overseen by the Soviet Military Administration (SMAD), which maintained close control over the Germans and allowed little room for independent action on the part of local German officials. Key posts in local administration, particularly those dealing with security members, were given to members of the Communist party.
Soviet occupation authorities also executed a rigorous program of land reform, expropriating large landed estates and imposing direct control over much of the economic activity in the zone. They closed major banks and insurance companies in July 1945, and seized property formerly belonging to the German state, Wehrmacht, Nazi party, and Nazi organizations.
The Soviets used suspicion of supposed Werwolf activity to tighten police control and secure forced labor.
Conditions in the occupation zones
The food situation in occupied Germany was initially very dire. By the spring of 1946 the official ration in the American zone was no more than per day, with some areas probably receiving as little as per day. In the British zone the food situation was dire, as found during a visit by the British (and Jewish) publisher Victor Gollancz in October and November 1946. In Düsseldorf the normal 28-day allocation should have been including of bread, but as there was limited grain the bread ration was only . However, as there was only sufficient bread for about 50% of this "called up" ration, the total deficiency was about 50%, not 15% as stated in a ministerial reply in the British Parliament on 11 December. So only about would have been supplied, and he said the German winter ration would be as the recent increase was "largely mythical". His book includes photos taken on the visit and critical letters and newspaper articles by him published in several British newspapers; The Times, the Daily Herald, the Manchester Guardian, etc.
Some occupation soldiers took advantage of the desperate food situation by exploiting their ample supply of food and cigarettes (the currency of the black market) to get to the local German girls as what became known as frau bait (The New York Times, 25 June 1945). Some soldiers still felt the girls were the enemy, but used them for sex nevertheless.
The often destitute mothers of the resulting children usually received no child support. In the earliest stages of the occupation, U.S. soldiers were not allowed to pay maintenance for a child they admitted having fathered, since to do so was considered "aiding the enemy". Marriages between white U.S. soldiers and Austrian women were not permitted until January 1946, and with German women until December 1946.
The children of African-American soldiers, commonly called Negermischlinge ("Negro half-breeds"), comprising about three percent of the total number of children fathered by GIs, were particularly disadvantaged because of their inability to conceal the foreign identity of their fathers. For many white U.S. soldiers of this era, miscegenation even with an "enemy" white population was regarded as an intolerable outrage. African-American soldiers were therefore reluctant to admit to fathering such children since this would invite reprisals and even accusations of rape, a crime which was much more aggressively prosecuted by military authorities against African-Americans compared with Caucasian soldiers, much more likely to result in a conviction by court-martial (in part because a German woman was both less likely to acknowledge consensual sexual relations with an African-American and more likely to be believed if she alleged rape against an African-American) and which carried a potential death sentence. Even in the rare cases where an African-American soldier was willing to take responsibility for fathering a child, until 1948 the U.S. Army prohibited interracial marriages. The mothers of the children would often face particularly harsh ostracism.
Between 1950 and 1955, the Allied High Commission for Germany prohibited "proceedings to establish paternity or liability for maintenance of children." Even after the lifting of the ban West German courts had little power over American soldiers.
While Allied servicemen were ordered to obey local laws while in Germany, soldiers could not be prosecuted by German courts for crimes committed against German citizens except as authorised by the occupation authorities. Invariably, when a soldier was accused of criminal behaviour the occupation authorities preferred to handle the matter within the military justice system. This sometimes led to harsher punishments than would have been available under German law – in particular, U.S. servicemen could be executed if court-martialed and convicted of rape. See United States v. Private First Class John A. Bennett, 7 C.M.A. 97, 21 C.M.R. 223 (1956).
Insurgency
The last Allied war advances into Germany and Allied occupation plans were affected by rumors of the Nazi Werwolf plan for insurgency, and successful Nazi deception about plans to withdraw forces to the Alpenfestung redoubt. This base was to be used to conduct guerrilla warfare, but the rumours turned out to be false. No Allied deaths can be reliably attributed to any Nazi insurgency.
Expulsion policy
The Potsdam conference, where the victorious Allies drew up plans for the future of Germany, noted in article XIII of the Potsdam Agreement on 1 August 1945 that "the transfer to Germany of German populations...in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary will have to be undertaken"; "wild expulsion" was already going on.
Hungary, which had been allied with Germany and whose population was opposed to an expulsion of the German minority, tried to resist the transfer. Hungary had to yield to the pressure exerted mainly by the Soviet Union and by the Allied Control Council. Millions of people were expelled from former eastern territories of Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and elsewhere to the occupation zones of the UK, US, and USSR, which agreed in the Potsdam Agreement to absorb the post-war expellees into their zones. Many remained in refugee camps for a long time. Some Germans remained in the Soviet Union and were used for forced labour for a period of years.
France was not invited to the Potsdam Conference. As a result, it chose to adopt some decisions of the Potsdam Agreements and to dismiss others. France maintained the position that it did not approve post-war expulsions and that therefore it was not responsible to accommodate and nourish the destitute expellees in its zone. While the few war-related refugees who had reached the area to become the French zone before July 1945 were taken care of, the French military government for Germany refused to absorb post-war expellees deported from the East into its zone. In December 1946, the French military government for Germany absorbed into its zone German refugees from Denmark, where 250,000 Germans had found a refuge from the Soviets by sea vessels between February and May 1945. These clearly were war-related refugees from the eastern parts of Germany however, and not post-war expellees.

Sami Mohammad Ali Said Jaff (1968-2007), also known as Abu Omar al-Kurdi, was a bomb-maker for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Biography
Abu Omar al-Kurdi was an ethnic Kurd from the Jaff tribe. He was a veteran of Jihad in Afghanistan, where he allegedly mastered his bomb-making skills. He returned to Iraq in 2003 where he met Zarqawi and would later become his top bomb-maker. Allegedly, al-Kurdi's bomb-making was made possible by using hundreds of rockets and explosives stolen from Iraqi military warehouses by another member, Ammar az-Zubaidi, early in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. By the time he was arrested on January 15, 2005, he was already responsible for 75 percent of the car bomb attacks in Iraq since August 2003 but only confessed to 32 of them. These included the attack on the Jordanian embassy, the Canal Hotel bombing, the Imam Ali mosque bombing, the attack on the Italian base in Nasiriyya and the attack that killed Ezzedine Salim. The authorities said that al-Kurdi planned attacks on election polling stations during the January 30, 2005 parliamentary elections. al-Kurdi was executed in Baghdad in 2007.

is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games. She debuted in 1989's Super Mario Land as the ruler of Sarasaland. Described as a tomboy, she is rumored to be Luigi's love interest, similarly to Princess Peach being the love interest of Mario. This became the plot of the 1993 live-action film Super Mario Bros., in which Luigi saves Daisy from King Koopa.
Since her appearance in Mario Tennis, Daisy has been a staple playable character in the Mario spin-off games, often paired with her best friend Peach. She was created by Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor Gunpei Yokoi, the producer of Super Mario Land. Yokoi wanted to recreate the feeling of 1985's Super Mario Bros., only set in another world separate from the Mushroom Kingdom.
The character has been primarily voiced by American voice actress Deanna Mustard from 2003 to 2022, and is succeeded by Giselle Fernandez starting in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Appearances
In video games
Daisy first appeared in Super Mario Land, released in 1989 for the Game Boy. Daisy is the princess of Sarasaland, a world outside of the series' usual setting of the Mushroom Kingdom, and is kidnapped by the tyrannical alien, Tatanga, who intends to marry her to gain control of her realm. Mario must traverse the four kingdoms of Sarasaland to track down Tatanga and rescue Daisy. She next made a small appearance in NES Open Tournament Golf in 1991 as Luigi's caddie. In 2000, Daisy appeared as a playable character in Mario Tennis, developed by Camelot Software Planning for the Nintendo 64, to introduce more human characters into the game. This appearance turned out to be her first big breakthrough, as it paved the way towards her appearing in future Mario spin-offs. Her outfit in Mario Tennis drew similarity to her appearance in NES Open Tournament Golf, but to match the sports criteria, her footwear was replaced by orange sneakers and white high socks. She also had an alternate palette in lavender and indigo for a Player 2 selection in Short Game mode of Mario Tennis. In 2001, she became a playable character in Mario Party 3, where her appearance seemingly matched her artwork in Super Mario Land. Later in the same year, she appeared as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. She was originally slated to be a playable character in Melee, but the development team lacked the thinking in what moves to provide her, therefore leaving her out and instead using her colors as one of Peach's alternate palettes. In 2002, she received her current design in the video game Mario Party 4.
Daisy is regularly a playable character in Mario sports games. She usually does not wear her iconic dress in the sports games and wears clothing better suited for athletics, with a yellow shirt and orange shorts. She appears in all of the Mario Party series since Mario Party 3 except Mario Party Advance, and all of the Mario Kart games since Double Dash except for the first two installments of the Arcade GP series, and all six games in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. She also appears in the Square Enix game Fortune Street.
In 2015, as part of Super Mario Makers promotion, Nintendo officially inducted Daisy's introductory title, Super Mario Land, into the mainline series of Super Mario games. On September 29, 2017, Daisy was added as a playable character in Super Mario Run. This significantly marked her first playable appearance in a mainline Mario title, as Super Mario Run was included in the franchise's list of mainline video games during the 35th Anniversary of the series.
On January 16, 2016, a Daisy costume and Sarasaland-inspired level were added to Super Mario Maker. In 2016, she also cameos in the Battle Card mode in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, as her first appearance in a Mario RPG. Daisy was included as a skin in the Minecraft: Wii U Edition Super Mario Mash-Up Pack, released on May 16, 2016. In every Super Smash Bros. game released since Super Smash Bros. Melee, Daisy has appeared as a collectable trophy, and as one of Peach's palette swaps, representing Daisy's color scheme. As revealed during the Nintendo Direct: E3 2018 presentation, Daisy appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character, where she is an "Echo Fighter" (moveset-clone) of Princess Peach, playing largely identical to her with only minor differences. Daisy's Amiibo figurine for the Super Mario franchise was released on November 4, 2016, to coincide with the release of Mario Party: Star Rush. Meanwhile, her Amiibo figurine related to the Super Smash Bros. franchise was released on February 13, 2019. Daisy, alongside Wario and Waluigi, were added to Dr. Mario World as a post-launch update in 2019. In 2022, She was also added as a post-launch downloadable character to Mario Strikers: Battle League.
On June 21, 2023 it was revealed in a Nintendo Direct that Daisy will be a playable character in the upcoming game Super Mario Bros. Wonder. This is the second time Daisy has been playable in a main series Mario game.
In other media
Daisy is one of the main characters of 1993's Super Mario Bros. film, loosely based on the games, portrayed by Samantha Mathis. She is a student of archaeology at New York University whom Luigi falls in love with. While digging for dinosaur bones under the Brooklyn Bridge, Daisy is kidnapped by two henchmen of President Koopa, the dictator of Dinohattan, of which Daisy is the rightful princess. Daisy has also appeared several times throughout Kodansha's Super Mario manga series, and in some episodes of the Nintendo Comics System. Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood's immersive Super Nintendo World areas include Daisy, with her appearing in the Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge attraction and the Super Nintendo World sections of Universal Studios' smartphone applications. The interactive "Power-Up Bands" feature a design based on her dress.
Reception
Initially, Daisy drew little criticism or praise. In her early appearances, she was so similar to Princess Peach that some journalists assumed "Princess Daisy" was simply a new localization of "Princess Peach" rather than a new character.
Polygon lists Daisy at number six of the top ten Mario Tennis Aces characters ranked by the online audience, stating: "She's had a healthy share of posts and fan art dedicated to her". GameDaily listed Daisy at number eight in a top-ten list of Mario characters who deserve their own game. GamerVision's "Coop" wrote the article "Top Ten Reasons Daisy is Better Than Peach", citing her "less-annoying voice" and "better attitude", and being a better ruler because Sarasaland has only been invaded once, while Peach's Mushroom Kingdom is always being invaded. Destructoid Gamer's Red Carpet called "her choice of a brave yellow and orange combo dress... as flattering as it is retro", and that her dress and accessories "work much better than Peach's", grading her a B+ overall. She is number two on Susanna Sheath of ScrewAttack's top ten Mario characters. The character also has a loyal fanbase. When the base roster for Mario Strikers: Battle League was revealed, several fans expressed disappointment and anger when Daisy was excluded from said roster. Daisy would later be revealed as one of the characters in the first of Battle League'''s free updates.
Daisy's relationship with Luigi has occasionally been a point of discussion within the gaming community. GamesRadar's Henry Gilbert wrote that it became increasingly evident that Luigi also needs "his own princess" and Princess Daisy is the character to whom he is closest. The pairing of Daisy and Luigi was included in Screw Attack's "Best EVER: Love Stories" video. Den of Geek points out that with no rescue narrative between Daisy and Luigi as the basis for romance, she chooses him based on his merits instead of gratitude. In 2010, Audrey Drake at IGN listed Daisy as a potential valentine for Mario, commenting that being his "brother's gal" made her a sort of "forbidden fruit", and that he had saved her during the events of Super Mario Land.IGN reviewed Daisy negatively at four out of ten, whereas Princess Peach got an eight, Rosalina a seven, and Pauline an eight, but said that the "spark between Daisy and Luigi still burns bright". Lisa Foiles of The Escapist ranked Daisy number one of the top five annoying princesses in video games, but stated she didn't really have a good reason. John Teti of The A.V. Club reviewed Daisy negatively, calling her dress "unflattering" and describing her as a "Princess Peach with brown hair" whose tomboy moniker is undeserved as "euphemistic nonsense". Jeremy Parish of Polygon ranked seventy-three fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate "from garbage to glorious", listing Rosalina at number fifty-one, Princess Daisy at thirty-one, and Princess Peach at number four. Daisy's infant counterpart, Baby Daisy, was listed by 1UP.com as one of the worst Mario Kart Wii'' characters.

Manafon is the seventh full-length studio album by David Sylvian, released on 14 September 2009 by the Samadhisound label. It is an avant-garde work combining elements of free improvisation, experimental rock and chamber music. It reached rank No. 6 in The Wire'''s list of best 2009 albums.
ProductionManafon was recorded over a three-year period in Vienna, Tokyo and London. Of the recording process, Sylvian said:
"There was nothing written when we went into the studio – this was very much free improvisation. So, the selection of the group of musicians for each improvisation was paramount. I recognized on the day which pieces could work for me. The process was that I took the material away and then wrote and recorded the vocal line over in a couple of hours. So I couldn't analyze my contribution and that in a way was my form of improvisation – and I enjoyed the rapidity of response."
"I take the sessions and work on them at a later time. I attempt to 'improvise' lyrics and melodies as I go, writing and recording all in a matter of hours. The basic tracks themselves undergo little or no editing as such. The structure pretty much remains as given from the original sessions. I might add an introduction or overdub other elements onto the original take. Here's a couple of examples: "Senseless Violence": Recorded in Vienna with Rowe/Polwechsel/Fennesz. I added guitar parts then layered Tilbury's piano into the track then added the vocal and an introduction. "Greatest Living Englishman: Initial take" suggested acoustic guitar overdubs which I requested of Otomo and Tetuzi on the spot. I later cut and pasted some interesting turntable activity from an alternate take onto this track. I also added an introduction by cutting and pasting elements from an earlier take. Tilbury was added to the coda. Melody and vocal added. "Rabbit Skinner": no editing. added acoustic guitar myself then vocals."
Lyrical inspiration
For the recording of Manafon, Sylvian was also inspired by the Welsh poet R. S. Thomas: lyrics often reflect the main themes written by the poet and the title of the album refers indeed to a Welsh namesake village (in north Powys) in which Thomas lived for a while.
"Manafon is indeed a village in Wales, a village in which Thomas lived for sometime and served as rector to the parish. In this small village, Thomas had trouble filling the pews of a Sunday but in a sense it was something of an idyllic spot in which to raise a child (a strict, taciturn and somewhat indifferent parent), master his profession and write his poetry. So, the physically real village became for me a metaphor for the poetic imagination."
Track listing
A limited edition boxed set came with a DVD of the album in 5.1 Surround Sound, and a feature-length making-of documentary, Amplified Gesture.

Frost is the first novel by Thomas Bernhard, originally published in German in 1963. An English translation by Michael Hofmann was published in 2006.
Plot summary
Strauch, mad painter, isolates himself from the world by retreating to the hamlet of Weng near Schwarzach im Pongau. His surgeon brother has Strauch watched by his young medical assistant, who narrates the book. The inn where Strauch resides is managed by a woman with a husband in prison and an endless sequence of lovers. The story includes a significant amount of violence and murder.
Narrative style
The character Strauch has a tendency to speak in long, ranting monologues, which characterises all of Bernhard’s subsequent work. Another element in Bernhard’s style is repetition: he often repeats phrases with minor variations. As the narrative progresses, the voice of the young narrator increasingly disappears into the voice of Strauch.

Ryczywół is a village (a town in 1409–1869) in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, located in the northern edge of the historic region of Lesser Poland. The village is located along National Road Nr. 79, which goes from Warsaw to Bytom. Ryczywół lies near the confluence of the Radomka and Vistula rivers at the border of Puszcza Stromecka wilderness. The name of the village probably comes from two Polish words - ryczy (bellow) and wół (ox), and comes from herds of cattle, which used to be moved through Ryczywół on the way from Red Ruthenia towards the west.
Jan Długosz wrote that in the 13th century Ryczywół already had St. Catherine parish church. In the 14th century, the village belonged to Polish kings, and a royal court was located here. In 1407 it was the seat of a starosta, located in Sandomierz Voivodeship, and two years later Ryczywół was granted town rights by King Władysław Jagiełło. The town, which in the 15th and 16th centuries belonged to several private owners, was famous in the region for a bridge on the Radomka river. Merchants had to pay a toll to cross it. In 1655 during the Swedish invasion of Poland, Ryczywół was destroyed by the Swedes and never regained its importance. In the 18th centuries, Jews started to settle there, and in 1813 whole town was moved some 2.5 kilometers from its original location. This was due to frequent floods of the Radomka and the Vistula. In 1869 the government of the Russian-controlled Congress Poland stripped Ryczywół of its town charter. On 15 September 1939, a battle between the Wehrmacht and Polish units of Łódź Army took place here. Ryczywół was completely destroyed in 1944, during Soviet - German fighting at Warka- Magnuszew bridgehead (see Vistula–Oder Offensive). In 1968–1979, the Kozienice Power Station was built nearby.
Holocaust in Ryczywół
At the beginning of World War II, most of the village was burned down by the invading German army, forcing the inhabitants to scatter throughout neighboring villages. In June 1940 there was an outbreak of typhus. The Jewish community of Ryczywół consisted of 160 people. In early 1942 a small ghetto was set up there within the ghettoization process of the entire Radom-Land ordered by Kreishauptmann Friedrich Egen. In August of that year, 160 Jews were sent to Kozienice ghetto and in September, to Treblinka extermination camp, while 69 Jews went to Sobibor on 4 August 1942.

The Moto Guzzi V1000 Convert was a motorcycle made by Moto Guzzi at Mandello del Lario, Italy. The designers at Moto Guzzi were aiming the V1000 Convert at the US police motorcycle market and were the first to produce a big capacity automatic motorcycle with shaft drive.
Moto Guzzi increased the pushrod-operated V-twin's bore and stroke to give a displacement of , and replaced manual gearbox with a torque converter built by Sachs, and two-speed gearbox.
The "Convert" name referred to the torque converter which fed engine power to a conventional clutch. The clutch had to be used to shift between two speeds but the torque converter enabled the bike to stop in either gear and accelerate smoothly without using the clutch.

The Danks are a Canadian indie rock band from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, founded by Brohan Moore and Alec O'Hanley. The current lineup includes lead vocalist Brohan Moore, O'Hanley on guitar and keyboards, Brian Murphy on bass, and drummer Phil MacIsaac. Chris Doiron originally played bass guitar, but was replaced by Andrew MacDonald.
The band released the EP Samples on Collagen Rock Records in 2008. Music critic John Sakamoto of the Toronto Star described their sound as "a compelling tug of war between wanting to dance and feeling that there's something else you're supposed to be doing."
Their full-length debut, Are You Afraid of the Danks? was released on June 30, 2009. Giving the album its highest rating, Chart described it as "non-stop, hook-laden revelry from start to finish." Fast Forward Weekly, in its review, wrote, "The Danks are straight-up power pop at heart and there’s simply no denying their power."
Their second LP GANK came out in June 2013, which Exclaim gave 9/10. The band has shared North American stages and basements with Ted Leo and Tokyo Police Club.

Telecommunications equipment (also telecoms equipment or communications equipment) are hardware which are used for the purposes of telecommunications. Since the 1990s the boundary between telecoms equipment and IT hardware has become blurred as a result of the growth of the internet and its increasing role in the transfer of telecoms data.
Types
Telecommunications equipment can be broadly broken down into the following categories:
Public switching equipment
Analogue switches
Digital switches
Voice over IP switches
Virtual reality (VR)
Transmission equipment
Transmission lines
Optical fiber
Local loops
Base transceiver stations
Free-space optical communication
Laser communication in space
Multiplexers
Communications satellites
Customer premises equipment (CPE)
Customer office terminal
Private switches
Local area networks (LANs)
Modems
Mobile phones
Landline telephones
Answering machines
Teleprinters
Fax machines
Pagers
Routers
Wireless devices
Semiconductors
Most of the essential elements of modern telecommunication are built from MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors), including mobile devices, transceivers, base station modules, routers, RF power amplifiers, microprocessors, memory chips, and telecommunication circuits. As of 2005, telecommunications equipment account for 16.5% of the annual microprocessor market.
Vendors
The world's largest telecommunications equipment vendors by revenues in 2017 are:

Heterocrossa cryodana is a species of moth in the family Carposinidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Taxonomy
This species was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 using material collected in Dunedin and named Heterocrossa cryodana. In 1922 Meyrick listed Heterocrossa as a synonym for Carposina. George Hudson, in his 1928 publication The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand, discusses this species under the name Carposina cryodana. Alfred Philpott studied the male genitalia of this species in 1928. In 1978 Elwood Zimmerman argued that the genus Heterocrassa should not be a synonym of Carposina as the genitalia of the species within the genus Heterocrassa are distinctive. In 1988 John S. Dugdale assigned the species back to the genus Heterocrossa. The lectotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London.
Description
This species was described by Meyrick as follows:
Distribution
This species is endemic to New Zealand. It has been collected in Dunedin and Invercargill and Codfish Island.
Biology and behaviour
This species is on the wing in September and November. It is associated with Leptospermum species. Larvae of the species have been found on fruits.

Pelhams Lands or Pelhams Land today forms part of the parish of Holland Fen with Brothertoft and is situated approximately north-west from the town of Boston, Lincolnshire.
The name 'Pelhams Lands' originates from the Pelham family who held land here from 1602. Sir William Pelham owned a woad mill in this area. The lands were laid out after the drainage of Holland Fen by Act of Parliament in 1776.
Pelhams Lands was formerly an extra-parochial area, but was formed into a parish in 1883. Its population in 1831 was 41, and its 19th-century peak was in 1851 with 55.
Pelhams Lands Farm is a late 18th-century red-brick farmhouse and is a Grade II listed building. There are two further Grade II listed 18th-century buildings on the Farm, a stable with granary and an earth closet.
There was a tower windmill at Pelhams Lands, built in 1838 to replace an earlier post mill which had blown down. The mill lost its cap in 1926, after which it was engine driven. Now mostly demolished, only a single derelict story remains.

Constantius () is venerated as a member of the legendary Theban Legion. Similar to the cults of Chiaffredo at Crissolo, Bessus at Val Soana, Tegulus at Ivrea, Magnus at Castelmagno, and Dalmatius at Borgo San Dalmazzo, the cult of Constantius was linked with that of the Theban Legion to lend antiquity to a local saint about whom nothing was really known.
According to tradition, Constantius survived the decimation of his Legion and fled to the Val Maira, today in the province of Cuneo, with some other survivors. These included Constantine, Dalmatius, Desiderius, Isidore, Magnus, Olympius, Pontius, Theodore, and Victor. They dedicated themselves to preaching the Christian religion, but all of them, except for Constantius, were soon killed by the Roman authorities. Constantius buried his companions.
The local geologic formation known as Ciciu del Villar, which are columns formed by natural erosion, was connected with Constantius' legend: the stones are said to be the Roman soldiers sent to kill him, who were miraculously petrified before they could harm the saint.
According to tradition, Constantius was eventually beheaded on Monte San Bernardo, where a sanctuary dedicated to him was built, known as San Costanzo al Monte. This sanctuary probably dates to Lombard times; some eighth century sculptures remain. The sanctuary was rebuilt and altered in succeeding centuries, and the stone church was completed in 1190. A Baroque façade was added later. The Benedictine abbatial church of Santi Vittore e Costanzo, also in Villar, conserves some important archaeological remains, including a marble slab bearing vermilion symbols and worn down by the hands of the faithful.
Constantius' cult became popular, with a pilgrimage to Villar by the faithful taking place every year.
Tornabuoni, bishop of Saluzzo, declared Chiaffredo patron of his diocese during a synod of 1516, with Constantius as co-patron. Statues of Chiaffredo and Constantius can be found in the altar of the cathedral of Saluzzo. Due to his connection with the Theban Legion, Constantius is considered to have been of Egyptian birth; this has led to his veneration in the Coptic Church.

SS Virginis is a Mira variable star that appears with a strong red hue. It varies in magnitude from a minimum of 9.5 to a maximum of 7.4 over a period of 361 days. It is also considered to be a semiregular variable star, as its minimum and maximum magnitude are themselves variable over a period of decades. Its spectral class is C63e. Because it is so rich in carbon, SS Virginis is classified as a carbon star, along with stars like T Geminorum. SS Virginis, like all carbon Mira variables, has a hydrogen-alpha emission line that varies widely, synchronized with the overall variations in light. The hydrogen-alpha emission line becomes far more prominent as the star becomes brighter. Observations made in the near-infrared spectrum indicate that it has a radius of 500 solar radii, and its temperature is between 2405 and 2485 kelvins.
The location of SS Virginis is two degrees north-following of η Virginis (Eta Virginis, Zaniah).

Bergen is a 2022 Turkish biographical film. The film stars Farah Zeynep Abdullah as lead singer Bergen, who has become one of the symbols of violence against women in Turkey.
Cast
Farah Zeynep Abdullah as Bergen
Erdal Beşikçioğlu as Halis Serbest
Tilbe Saran as Sabahat
Şebnem Sönmez as Suna
Nergis Öztürk as Nadire
Ahmet Kayakesen as Abdullah
Arif Pişkin as Selahattin
Production
The filmmakers initially planned to shoot the movie in 2019, but this was delayed due to casting problems followed by the COVID-19 pandemic. At first, Serenay Sarikaya was accepted to play Bergen, but due to shooting delays, she decided not to be involved in the movie. Following Sarikaya's withdrawal, Farah Zeynep Abdullah accepted the role of Bergen. Production had to be completed in secret due to death threats against the producers.
The film was shot in Istanbul, Ankara and Mersin in the fall of 2021.
Release
The film's release in Turkey earned over US$10 million. By 29 July, it had become the eight-highest grossing domestic feature film in the country. Its release throughout West Asia also found widespread success, earning US$4.8 million between 16 June , and it was described as the most successful Turkish film in the region. Bergen was also the first Turkish movie to be released in Saudi Arabia.
Following its release, Halis Serbest, the murderer of Bergen, filed defamation lawsuits against the film's creators. In response to this and other threats, the opening gala in Istanbul had to be protected by riot police. The mayor of Kozan, where Serbest lives, banned showings of the film on the basis of being inappropriate for children; however, major Turkish cinema associations and unions condemned this decision and claimed it has actually been done to appease Serbest.
Reception
In Turkey, the film was seen as an exploration and condemnation of violence against women and femicide in the country. This was partly attributed to purposeful decisions made in the film, such as refusing to show Bergen's murderer as a "fully realised character" but rather a stand-in for the perpetrators of patriarchal violence, with his name only being shown once during the end credits. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party, stated that "Everyone who rejects violence against women must watch this film" and used it to advocate for Turkey's return to the Istanbul Convention.

Aviadenoviruses are adenoviruses that affect birds—particularly chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and pheasants. There are 15 species in this genus. Viruses in this genus cause specific disease syndromes such as Quail Bronchitis (QB), Egg Drop Syndrome (EDS), Haemorrhagic Enteritis (HE), Pheasant Marble Spleen Disease (MSD), and Inclusion Body Hepatitis (IBH). Avian adenoviruses have a worldwide distribution and it is common to find multiple species on a single farm. The most common serogroups are serogroup 1, 2 and 3.
Transmission
No evidence of transmission from birds to humans has been identified. The virus is mainly spread horizontally by the oro-fecal route, but vertical transmission can occur in serogroup 1. Once it has infected the bird the virus may remain latent until a period of stress, when it may then cause clinical disease.
Clinical signs and diagnosis
Infections are normally subclinical, however clinical disease can occur—especially in young birds as maternal antibody levels begin to wane.
Clinical signs are related to the organ affected.
Signs of gastrointestinal disease (Haemorrhagic Enteritis) include diarrhea, anorexia, melena and hematochezia. Anaemia and dehydration may develop secondary to this haemorrhagic enteritis. Signs of reproductive disease (Egg Drop Syndrome) include low egg production/hatching and the laying of abnormal eggs (size, shape, colour, texture). Adenovirus infection may infect other organs, causing splenitis, inclusion body hepatitis, bronchitis, pulmonary congestion ventriculitis, pancreatitis, or oedema, depending on the species of bird infected.
Diagnosis of aviadenovirus is by histopathology, electron microscopy, viral isolation, ELISA and PCR. In addition, virus antigen can be detected double immunodiffusion. Postmortem examination may reveal a variety of clinical signs relating directly to the organ affected. Specifically, Egg Drop Syndrome can be diagnosed by hemagglutinin inhibition and the virus causes haemagglutination in chickens and ducks.
Treatment and control
Vaccines for HE and EDS are available (ATCvet codes: for the inactivated vaccine, for the live vaccine, plus various combinations). Disease incidence may be reduced by minimising stress levels, using appropriate hygiene measures and providing adequate nutrition.
Taxonomy
Aviadenovirus contains the following species:
Duck aviadenovirus B
Falcon aviadenovirus A
Fowl aviadenovirus A
Fowl aviadenovirus B
Fowl aviadenovirus C
Fowl aviadenovirus D
Fowl aviadenovirus E
Goose aviadenovirus A
Pigeon aviadenovirus A
Pigeon aviadenovirus B
Psittacine aviadenovirus B
Psittacine aviadenovirus C
Turkey aviadenovirus B
Turkey aviadenovirus C
Turkey aviadenovirus D
Structure
Viruses in Aviadenovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=25 symmetry. The diameter is around 90 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 35–36kb in length and have a guanine/cytosine content of 53–59%. The genome codes for 40 proteins.
Life cycle
Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral fiber glycoproteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the DNA strand displacement model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear envelope breakdown, viroporins, and lysis. Birds serve as the natural host.

Sweet 20 is an Indonesian musical romantic comedy film, a remake of the 2014 South Korean film Miss Granny, under collaboration of Starvision Plus in Indonesia and CJ Entertainment. This film is directed by Ody C. Harahap and stars Tatjana Saphira, Morgan Oey, Kevin Julio, Lukman Sardi, Niniek L. Karim and Slamet Rahardjo. This film tells the story about Fatmawati, a 70-year-old grandmother who magically gets back into her 20s after taking a photo in a mysterious photo studio. Sweet 20 was released on 25 June 2017 on the event of Eid al-Fitr.
Plot
Fatmawati, a 70-year-old fussy grandmother, lives with her son, Aditya, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. Fatmawati has always been proud of Aditya, but is hurt when, one day, she finds out she will be sent to a nursing home. She runs away from the house, while regretting aging. That night, her sight falls upon mysterious photo studio Forever Young, and proceeds to want a picture of herself for her funeral. Before taking the photo, the photographer asks what she wants, she answers to make her look beautiful and young in the photo, then the photographer said he would make her 50 years younger. All is well, and the photo was taken, until suddenly Fatmawati really transforms into a woman 50 years younger; she becomes just like how she looked when she was 20 years old. Fatmawati started to live her new life as Mieke, a name of her idol Mieke Wijaya. As time goes by, Fatmawati gets the opportunity to realize her dream to become a singer, something she couldn't do back then. Her unique, old-fashioned speech and fashion style, conquers the heart of three men: music producer Alan, her own grandson, and Hamzah who has been in love with her 50 years ago. The latter has a late wife and living daughter, who constantly shows irritation at her father's caring attitude towards Fatmawati.
Throughout living as Mieke, Fatmawati is haunted by the fear that her legacy will be lost. Meanwhile, she learns that bleeding will cause her real skin to be exposed. As this is learned, Hamzah realizes the truth, and swears to keep this from everyone. As Fatmawati is about to appear on a television concert, everyone on the band learns that one of her grandson, Juna, loses a lot of blood in an accident. Juna's blood type is AB negative, one only belonged to Fatmawati. Unwilling to kill her grandson for her ego, she expresses will to transfer her blood to Juna. Aditya, who has known her identity all this time, apologizes to her mother for being a horrible son; Fatmawati says she never thinks so. While the band continues, Hamzah visits Young Forever just for Fatmawati, the love of his life.

Production
Sweet 20 was directed by Ody C. Harahap, who has directed romantic comedy films like and . The screenwriting was done by Upi. The film was shot in Bandung, including Braga Street, Asia Afrika Street and Bandung City Hall. Sweet 20 is an adaptation of the Korean film Miss Granny, with the difference is that Indonesian elements are added into the film, including dangdut and Lebaran. Miss Granny has been adapted into Chinese, Japanese, Thailand, and Vietnamese versions. Tatjana Saphira sang four of the five songs in the film, including "Bing" that was composed by Titiek Puspa, "Payung Fantasi" composed by Ismail Marzuki, "Layu Sebelum Berkembang" composed by A. Riyanto, and "Meraih Asa", the film's theme song, written by Upi and Tony with arrangement by Bemby Gusti. Besides those four songs, Gugun Blues Shelter sang "Selayang Pandang" composed by Lili Suhairi.
Release
The film was released on 25 June 2017 on the event of Eid al-Fitr, together with Jailangkung, Surat Kecil untuk Tuhan, and Insya Allah Sah.
Reception
As of 15 July 2017, Sweet 20 has been watched by 1,001,935 people.
According to film observer Shandy Gasella, "this remake is not as sitcom as the original film by Hwang Dong-Hyuk. The tone of the film is soft and happier, I like the grading. There are many additions of scenes of laughter, making this movie feel 'the same but different'." However, this film does not improvise much from the original film, and even though Fatma admires Mieke Wijaya, young Fatma's makeup is unlike Wijaya's. According to Jodhi Yudono from Kompas, Sweet 20 managed to be a family drama film as well as romantic comedy that is thick with the colours of Indonesia, both in settings, such as putting the atmosphere of Lebaran and conflict between children- and parents-in-law, and jokes throughout the film. This film also mixes senior film stars with recent actors, creating a nostalgic nuance.

A midfielder, he played eight seasons (162 games, 3 goals) in the Italian Serie A for A.S. Varese 1910, A.S. Roma and U.C. Sampdoria.
Roma fans remember him for a memorable goal he scored with a bicycle kick on 27 November 1977 in a game against Vicenza.
As he stated in a 2004 interview to Il Romanista newspaper, he always regretted leaving Roma for Sampdoria in the summer of 1982 as he missed on winning the Serie A title with Roma in the 1982–83 season after playing for them for 6 years.
He was for some years a youth coach at Juventus.

Lymphangiosarcoma is a rare cancer which occurs in long-standing cases of primary or secondary lymphedema. It involves either the upper or lower lymphedematous extremities but is most common in upper extremities. Although its name implies lymphatic origin, it is believed to arise from endothelial cells and may be more accurately referred to as angiosarcoma.
Signs and symptoms
Lymphangiosarcoma may present as a purple discoloration or a tender skin nodule in the extremity, typically on the anterior surface. It progresses to an ulcer with crusting to an extensive necrotic focus involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It metastasizes quickly.
Causes
It was previously a relatively common complication of the massive lymphedema of the arm which followed removal of axillary (arm pit) lymph nodes and lymphatic channels as part of the classical Halstedian radical mastectomy, as a treatment for breast cancer. The classical radical mastectomy was abandoned in most areas of the world in the late 1960s to early 1970s, being replaced by the much more conservative modified radical mastectomy and, more recently, by segmental breast tissue excision and radiation therapy. Because of this change in clinical practice lymphedema is now a rarity following breast cancer treatment—and post-mastectomy lymphangiosarcoma is now vanishingly rare. When it occurs following mastectomy it is known as Stewart–Treves syndrome. The pathogenesis of lymphangiosarcoma has not been resolved, however several vague mechanisms have been proposed. Stewart and Treves, proposed that a cancer causing agent is present in lymphedematous limbs. Schreiber et al. proposed that local immunodeficiency as a result of lymphedema results in a "immunologically privileged site" in which the sarcoma is able to develop.
Diagnosis
Treatment
The most successful treatment for lymphangiosarcoma is amputation of the affected limb if possible. Chemotherapy may be administered if there is evidence or suspicion of metastatic disease. Evidence supporting the effectiveness of chemotherapy is, in many cases, unclear due to a wide variety of prognostic factors and small sample size. However, there is some evidence to suggest that drugs such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and gemcitabine exhibit antitumor activity.

Janet Duvenage Smith (née Watt; 19153 December 1994), was the wife of Ian Smith, Prime Minister of Rhodesia from 1964 to 1979. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, she studied history at the University of Cape Town and became a teacher. In 1942, she married Piet Duvenage, a rugby player, and had two children. He died in an accident on the rugby field in 1947. The next year, a short visit with family in Southern Rhodesia became permanent when she accepted a teaching job in Selukwe. There, she met her future husband, Ian Smith, who had recently come home from the Second World War. In 1948, the couple got married and bought a farm, and Ian was elected to the Southern Rhodesian Legislative Assembly.
In 1964, when Ian Smith became Prime Minister of Rhodesia, the family moved to the premier's residence in Salisbury. Smith split her time between state functions and managing the farm back in Selukwe. After Zimbabwean independence from the United Kingdom, her husband was defeated at the 1980 election, but remained in the Parliament of Zimbabwe until 1987. Smith continued to divide her time between Harare and the farm until her death from cancer in 1994.
Early life, education, and first marriage
Janet Watt was born in Cape Town in the Union of South Africa in 1915. Her parents were from Scotland, and her father was a surgeon. She attended the University of Cape Town, where she studied history, geology, and some philosophy, and was a star field hockey player. She was quite well known for playing hockey for Western Province. There, she briefly met her future husband, Ian Smith, who was on campus as a member of the visiting Rhodes University rugby team.
After graduating, Watt earned her teaching qualification and became a history teacher. In 1942, she married Piet Duvenage, a physician and rugby player. Together they had a son, Robert, and a daughter, Jean. Piet Duvenage died in a freak accident on the field during a club rugby practice in May 1947. A young widow, she was left to support her two young children on a teacher's salary.
Move to Southern Rhodesia and Ian Smith
In 1947, Duvenage took her two children to Selukwe, Southern Rhodesia, to stay with family for a short holiday. The move became permanent when she accepted a job offer from Selukwe Primary School. That year, through her sister, she became reacquainted with Ian Smith, who had recently returned to his hometown and was taking courses at Gwebi College of Agriculture. He later wrote that the qualities that had attracted him most to Janet were her intelligence, courage and "oppos[ition] on principle to side-stepping or evading an issue ... her tendency was to opt for a decision requiring courage, as opposed to taking the easy way out." In 1948, she and Smith became engaged, and she started a new position as the mathematics and geography mistress at Chaplin High School in nearby Gwelo.
Farming and politics
In July 1948, a general election was called in Southern Rhodesia after the United Party government, headed by the Prime Minister, Sir Godfrey Huggins, unexpectedly lost a vote in the Legislative Assembly. In August, about a month before election day, Ian Smith was approached by members of the opposition Liberal Party who asked him to run for election in Selukwe. Jacob Smit's Liberals, despite their name, were decidedly illiberal, chiefly representing commercial farming, mining and industrial interests. Smith was initially reluctant, saying he was too busy organising his life to stand, but agreed after one of the Liberal officials suggested that a political career might allow him to defend the values he had fought for in the Second World War. With their wedding barely a fortnight away, Smith was astonished to learn of her husband's decision to run for the Southern Rhodesian Legislative Assembly, having never before heard him discuss politics. She asked him, "Are you interested in politics—party politics?" He replied, "I can't say that I am really interested in party politics, but I've always been most interested in sound government."
In addition to becoming a politician, August 1948 was important for the Smiths in two other ways: it was the month they got married, and the month they purchased their first farm. The farm was a plot of rough land near Selukwe, bounded by the Lundi and Impali Rivers and bisected by a clear stream. They called it "Gwenoro", using the name that the local Karanga people used to refer to the stream, and set up a ranch where they ran cattle and grew tobacco and maize. Ian adopted her children, taking up the responsibilities of instant fatherhood, partially, as he explained, "because I knew [Piet Duvenage] so well" from playing rugby against him. After the wedding, and a few days' honeymoon in Victoria Falls, the Smiths returned home and went straight into the election campaign. On election on 15 September, Ian Smith won with 361 votes, a substantial 100+ vote majority over the second place Labour candidate. At 28 years old, he became the youngest MP in Southern Rhodesian history.
Having grown up in an area of Cape Town so pro-Smuts that she had never had to vote, Smith did not think her husband's entry to parliament would alter their lives at all. "First of all I was marrying a farmer," she later said, "now he was going to be a politician as well. So I said, 'Well, if you are really interested in it, carry on.'... It never dawned on me—being so naive about politicians—that our lives would be affected in the slightest degree." However, it soon became evident that her husband's political office necessitated that he spend a lot of time away from Selukwe working in Salisbury, meaning she would have to run the farm during his absences. On 20 May 1949, their only son, Alec, was born in Gwelo.
Wife of the Prime Minister
Ian Smith defected from the Liberal Party to the United Federal Party, and served as Chief Whip from 1958 onwards. He left in 1961 in protest at the territory's new constitution, and the following year helped Winston Field to form the all-white, firmly conservative Rhodesian Front (RF), which called for independence without an immediate shift to black majority rule. Her husband's right-wing views were no problem for Smith, whose views on race were even more hardline than his. Ian became Deputy Prime Minister following the Rhodesian Front's December 1962 election victory, and stepped up to the premiership after Field resigned in April 1964. The Smiths left management of the farm to others, and relocated to Salisbury to move into State House, the premier's official residence.
On 11 November 1965, in the wake of a number of failed negotiations with Britain, Ian Smith and his Cabinet unilaterally declared independence as Rhodesia. Smith would hold the premiership for about the next decade and a half. As the Prime Minister's wife, Smith spent much of her time involved with matters of state, so much so that her son Alec described her as "a trace of perfume on the air" to him in those days. Free from parental supervision, the teenaged Alec became a frequent partier and consumer of alcohol and drugs. Meanwhile, both Janet and Ian enjoyed his time in the premiership. Janet, a charming, intelligent, and determined woman, adapted well to her role as the Prime Minister's wife. A common, if unfounded, smear used against Ian by his domestic political opponents was that his wife was "the power behind the throne."
In the face of United Nations economic sanctions, and with the support of apartheid South Africa, and, until 1974, Portugal, Rhodesia's government endured. Several bouts of talks with the UK came to nothing, and Ian Smith and the Rhodesian Front remained in power through several more decisive electoral victories. The Rhodesian Bush War ramped up beginning in 1972, with African nationalists fighting a white government that was increasingly under siege and isolated.
Later life and death
In 1978, Ian Smith and non-militant nationalists including Abel Muzorewa signed the Internal Settlement, under which he stepped down from the premiership and the country became Zimbabwe Rhodesia effective 1 June 1979. Following the Lancaster House Agreement, Robert Mugabe and other militant nationalists came to power in an independent Zimbabwe in 1980. Though no longer premier, Ian remained Leader of the Opposition and held a seat in the Parliament of Zimbabwe until 1987. The couple still maintained a residence in Harare (the new name for Salisbury), and Smith continued managing Gwenoro Farm while her husband focused on politics.
She died of cancer in Harare on the night of 3 December 1994. She was buried in her long-time hometown, Shurugwi (previously Selukwe). After her death, her husband employed a manager to run their farm.
Personal life and family
Smith had two children with her first husband, Jean and Robert. In 1967, Jean married Clem Tholet, a singer-songwriter best known for his Rhodesian patriotic songs like "Rhodesians Never Die". Janet and Ian Smith had one son, Alec, who later became chaplain of the Zimbabwe National Army. All three of their children attended Chaplin High School in Gweru. Smith's sister Helen was married to Owen Horwood, who was Minister of Finance in the South African government.
Smith, like her husband, was a church-going Presbyterian, socially conservative, and an avid sportsperson.

KPIN (101.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Pinedale, Wyoming, United States, the station serves the Pinedale area. the station is owned by Robert R. Rule.
Signal
KPIN's signal covers almost all of Sublette County, and parts of northern Sweetwater County. Since Pinedale is located at the base of the southern flank of the Wind River Range, and due to the line-of-sight propagation of FM, the signal begins to get choppy to the north, the farther one travels into the mountain range. Those skiing at nearby White Pine Ski Resort, about seven miles north of Pinedale, will notice the signal fading as they travel closer to the ski resort.
The transmitter is located on a small hill directly southwest of town, along with several FM translator stations and the tower for KUWX 90.9 FM.

Vjenceslav Richter (; 8 April 1917 – 2 December 2002) was a Croatian architect. He was also known for his work in the fields of urbanism, sculpture, graphic arts, painting and stage design.
Career
In 1949, Richter graduated at the Department of Architecture of the Technical Faculty of the University of Zagreb under professor Zdenko Strižić.
He was one of the founding members of the Exat 51 group whose active members between 1950 and 1956 were the architects Bernardo Bernardi, Zdravko Bregovac, Božidar Rašica and Vladimir Zaharović, and the painters Vlado Kristl, Ivan Picelj and Aleksandar Srnec. He was also a member of the New Tendencies movement (from 1961). He designed exhibition pavilions (Bruxelles 1958, Turin and Milan), several museum buildings, and was involved in industrial and interior design. From 1962 he began to explore the medium of sculpture, which resulted in the Reliefmeter series among many other works of art.
In 1955, Vjenceslav Richter organized the first Zagreb Triennial, an art and design festival that sought to bring together a wide range of design disciplines, including applied arts, industrial design, and fine arts. The second triennial was not held until four years later, and was equally unsuccessful in its aim of popularising modernist design.
He exhibited at many shows in Croatia and abroad, including: the Museum of Arts and Crafts, Zagreb, (1964), Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, (1968), Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb, (1968), Staempfly Gallery, New York, (1968), Galerie Semiha Huber, Zurich, (1969), at the Venice Biennale (1972), Gallery 58, Rapperswill, (1972), Galleria del Naviglio, Milan, (1973), Galleria all Centro, Napoli, (1973), Galleria Visconti, Milan, (1976) and Galleria La Loggia, Udine, (1977).
He won many awards, including the City of Zagreb Award (1959), the Golden Medal at the 13th Triennial in Milan (1964), the 11th São Paulo Biennale Award for Sculpture (1971), and the Herder Prize (1981). He received two life achievement awards: the Viktor Kovačić Award (1988) and the Vladimir Nazor Award (1993). Geometry and Spontaneity, a retrospective exhibition of his graphics, was organized at the HAZU (Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts) Cabinet of Graphics (Zagreb, 2002).
The Richter Collection
The Vjenceslav Richter and Nada Kareš-Richter Collection is housed in a villa in Vrhovec, Zagreb, and administrated by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb.

Description
Eucalyptus vernicosa is a shrub that typically grows to a height of or a mallee to and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth grey or greyish brown bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have crowded, sessile, glossy green, egg-shaped leaves that are long and wide and arranged in opposite pairs. Adult leaves are crowded, glossy green, egg-shaped to elliptical or round, long and wide with a rounded base, on a petiole long, arranged in opposite pairs or alternately. The flower buds are arranged in groups of three in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle up to long, the individual buds sessile or almost so. Sometimes two of the buds in a group are lost so the buds appear singly. Mature buds are oval, long and wide, greenish brown and finely wrinkled with a conical operculum that is shorter than the floral cup. Flowering occurs in most months, peaking from December to February and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody hemispherical or bell-shaped capsule long and wide with the valves near rim level.
Taxonomy
Eucalyptus vernicosa was first formally described in 1847 by Joseph Dalton Hooker in William Jackson Hooker's London Journal of Botany from specimens collected by Ronald Campbell Gunn on "Mount Fatigue, altitude 4000 feet". A specimen of Actinotus bellidoides held in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, also collected on "Mount Fatigue" gives its location as "about 12 to 16 miles S.S.W. off [the St] Clair and about 4000 ft High [Van Dieman's Land]". Mount Arrowsmith is found at approximately this location, and was named "Fatigue Hill" until 1855. The specific epithet is from the Latin word vernicosus meaning "varnished" or "shining", referring to the glossy appearance of the leaves.
Distribution and habitat
Eucalyptus vernicosa is endemic to Tasmania, and is only found in alpine regions in the west to southwest, including Cradle Mountain. It grows between 700m and 1350m above sea level, usually on peaty acid soils on top of quartzite or sandstone bedrock. It is usually found above the tree line, and can be a dominant component of alpine heath communities, along with Richea, Athrotaxis, and Orites. This habitat typically has high average rainfall varying from 1000mm to 2500mm per year, and very cold winters with continuous frosts and snow for several months. The harsh climate and nutritiously poor soils probably explain the small size and tough leaves.
Eucalyptus vernicosa has been traditionally cited as an example of a morphological continuum with E. johnstonii, and E. subcrenulata. A study from Mount Arrowsmith showed a strong relationship within those three species, linking altitude with changes in glaucousness, leaf morphology, growth rates, habit, capsule shape, bark thickness and degree of frost resistance. It was suggested that they represented close relatives of one species that was diverging to adapt to an environmental cline. However more recent genetic studies show that E. vernicosa is more distantly related to the E. johnstonii/E. subcrenulata complex, and the apparent morphological clinal intergradation between E. vernicosa and E. subcrenulata is probably a result of parallel evolution.
Uses
Use in horticulture
A number of Tasmanian alpine Eucalypts, including E. vernicosa, are grown as ornamental trees and shrubs in Europe, and especially in the United Kingdom, due to their evergreen habit and similarity of climate.
Essential oils
In the early 20th century E. vernicosa was harvested for its oil, which was believed to have medicinal properties.

The so-called cradle of Henry V, now in the British Royal Collection, is, according to tradition, the cradle in which the newborn Henry of Monmouth, later to be King Henry V of England, was placed. The cradle, for many years in the Rectory in Newland, Gloucestershire, was bought at auction in 1908 by King Edward VII, and was later loaned to the London Museum by George V. The cradle was on display in the London Museum and its successor the Museum of London until 2005, when it was returned to the Royal Collection. It is now believed to date from a century later than the time of Henry V, but is still considered to be a unique example of a medieval cradle made for a baby of noble birth.
Description
The cradle is 120 cm (46 inches) long and 86 cm (34 inches) high overall. It is made of oak, and consists of two parts, a deep box-like crib in which the baby was placed and a stand on which the crib swings from iron hooks. The crib is made of planks with a series of deep horizontal mouldings on the exterior. Horizontal slots in the top of the side panels were probably intended to hold bands that crossed from one side to the other to secure the baby. The stand consists of two inverted T-shaped supports with triangular decorated buttresses, and is decorated with carved figures of two heraldic birds watching over the suspended crib. It is now believed to date from the late 15th century, and is a unique example of a medieval cradle made for a baby of noble birth.
History
The cradle is first recorded in 1773, when it was in the possession of the Revd Peregrine Ball, at the Rectory in Newland, Gloucestershire. It was already reputed to have been the cradle of the baby Henry of Monmouth, who was to become King Henry V of England. Henry was born at Monmouth Castle on 16 September 1386, the son of Mary de Bohun and Henry Bolingbroke, and the grandson of John of Gaunt. It was said that as a baby Henry had been put out to nurse at Courtfield, a manor house at Welsh Bicknor, not far from Newland, where an ancestor of the Revd Ball had been a "rocker" to the noble baby and had received the cradle as a perquisite.
The cradle was famous locally and was often shown to visitors. Its claim to be a genuine relic of Henry V's childhood was generally accepted.
On the death of the Revd Ball, his son presented the cradle to a Mr Whitehead of Hambrook, Frenchay, near Bristol. In 1839 it was in the possession of the antiquarian George Weare Braikenridge, of Brislington, Bristol, who was reported to have bought it for £30.
Through confusion with another cradle, this cradle was later said to be at Troy House in Mitchel Troy, Monmouthshire, together with the armour that Henry V wore at Agincourt.
Braikenridge's collection was auctioned at Christie's in London in 1908, and the cradle was bought for 230 guineas by Guy Laking, Keeper of the King's Armoury to King Edward VII, bidding on behalf of the King himself. The cradle then went to Windsor Castle and remained there for four years. In 1912 the London Museum was established at Kensington Palace under Guy Laking's direction, and the cradle was loaned to the museum by Edward VII's successor, King George V. The cradle was on display in the London Museum and its successor the Museum of London until 2005, when it was returned to the Royal Collection.

Catania and her siblings were raised in Paterson along with her fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Teresa Giudice and Giudice's cousin and former cast member Kathy Wakile.
In season 11 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Dolores revealed that her parents have remained happily married, despite living separately since her father became Paterson's Chief of Police.
Career
Prior to joining the Housewives, Dolores had been employed as a waitress, shampoo girl, corrections officer, realtor, and surgical assistant. She actively owns a fitness franchise and flips houses with her ex-husband. She is a philanthropist, supporting many charitable causes (e.g., animal welfare and local relief efforts). She has also appeared in several independent projects, including Breaking Points and Around the Sun by Brad Forenza.
In 2016, Catania joined the main cast starting in season 7. Since joining the series, her storylines have primarily focused on her romantic life, relationship with her ex, motherhood, self-discovery, loyalty, and independence and since joining has been ranked as one of the most relatable housewives and was voted "Miss Congeniality" across the entire Real Housewives syndicate by Bravo fans in 2018.

Thaxterogaster caesibulga is a species of truffle-like fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. Found in New South Wales, Australia, the species was described as new to science in 2010.
Taxonomy
The species was first described scientifically by Australian mycologists Karl Vernes, Melissa Danks, and Teresa Lebel in a 2010 issue of the journal Persoonia. The type collection was made near Waterfall Way, New South Wales in July 2007. Molecular analysis of internal transcribed spacer DNA sequence data show that the fungus belongs to the section Purpurascentes, and groups in a clade with the agaric species C. submagellanicus (found in Tasmania). The specific epithet caesibulga is derived from the Latin words caesius (lavender pale blue with grey tinge) and bulga (purse or bag) and refers to the bag-like shape of the fruit bodies.
In 2022 the species was transferred from Cortinarius and reclassified as Thaxterogaster caesibulga based on genomic data.
Description
The fruit body of Thaxterogaster caesibulga is sequestrate, meaning that its spores are not forcibly discharged from the basidia, and it remains enclosed during all stages of development, even when mature. The shape of the caps ranges from irregularly spherical to like an inverted cone, sometimes with a flattened top, and they measure long by in diameter. A cobwebby silvery-grey partial veil connects the cap to the stipe. The outer skin of the cap (the pellis) is lavender (mixed with tan in mature specimens) with a finely hairy texture. Remnants of the universal veil are readily rubbed off with handling. The flesh is translucent white to cream and thick. The internal spore-bearing tissue of the cap (the hymenophore) is pale brown at first, but darkens as the spores mature. A slender, silvery lavender stipe extends into the fruit body through its entire length; it measures long by thick. Young fruit bodies have no distinctive or odor, but develop a pungent smell as they mature; their taste is somewhat farinaceous (similar to freshly ground flour). The spores are egg-shaped to roughly elliptical and measure 8.7–11 by 4.8–6.5 μm. They are densely covered with nodules up to 0.5 μm high. The thin-walled basidia (spore-bearing cells) are hyaline (translucent), club-shaped to cylindrical, four-spored, and have dimensions of 26–39 by 5–8 μm.
Habitat and distribution
The fruit bodies of Thaxterogaster caesibulga grow underground in dry sclerophyll forest, and appear from May to July. It is found on the high eastern slopes of the New England Plateau in northern New South Wales, and in mixed forest near Mount Imlay in southern NSW. Vegetation typically associated with the fungus at the former location includes Allocasuarina littoralis, Eucalyptus caliginosa, E. dalrympleana subsp. heptantha, and E. radiata subsp. sejuncta, while E. cypellocarpa and E. sieberii are found at the latter locale. The fungus has also been recorded in wet sclerophyll forest in Victoria, where E. regnans is a common plant associate.

A Siwawa (, also known as "Guiyang Spring rolls" or "silk doll") is a Chinese dish, native to and a local specialty of the Guizhou province, consisting of a paper thin glutinous rice pancake that is small enough to fit easily in one's palm, and is wrapped around fillings of julienned fresh, fermented, or stir-fried vegetables such as shredded cucumber, pickled turnip, fried soybeans, crushed chilis, shredded kelp, shredded potato, pickled radish, mung bean sprouts, zhe ergen, pickled fiddleheads, and jueba bracken fern roots. Some vendors include fried pork (Cuishao/脆哨) as a filling. The dish traditionally is a common street food or hawker food but eventually started to appear at events such as weddings. It is one of the most well-known of Guizhou's traditional snack foods but is also eaten as a formal meal.
Spicy and sour-flavoured sauces, known as zhanshui, are commonly incorporated into wraps or used as dipping sauces. One popular sauce recipe includes a combination of ingredients such as stock, dried chili flakes, and sesame oil.
The name of the dish, "baby in swaddling clothes," is derived from its appearance, where strips of ingredients are wrapped in a rice pancake, resembling a wrapped infant. It also resembles an uncooked egg roll and is sometime considered "a member of the spring roll family".

Axel Wittke (born 25 March 1960) is a German former footballer who played as a right midfielder in the DDR-Oberliga and the 2. Bundesliga. In 1983, he won the FDGB-Pokal, the East German cup with 1. FC Magdeburg. He played for his country at youth level and was part of the Olympic Games squad that failed to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics.
Playing career
1. FC Magdeburg
Wittke began his playing career at BSG Aufbau Börde Magdeburg, but already joined 1. FC Magdeburg's youth department in 1968, at age 8. Here he went through all youth teams, and won four call-ups for East Germany's youth national team. In 1978 Wittke was part of 1. FC Magdeburg's Oberliga squad for the first time and debuted in a cup match against BSG Stahl Thale on 14 October 1978. After that, however, he had to wait 16 more months for his first Oberliga appearance. During this time he continued to play in the youth team. On day 14 of the 1979–80 season he replaced unavailable teammate Klaus Decker as right midfielder in a match against BSG Wismut Aue on 23 February 1980. Wittke finished the season with ten appearances, making his breakthrough in the 1982–83 season when he played in 20 of 26 Oberliga matches. By then he had played in three matches in East Germany's Under 21/23 national team. On 4 June 1983, Wittke celebrated his biggest success as a footballer when he won the FDGB-Pokal, scoring the second goal in Magdeburg's 4–0 victory over FC Karl-Marx-Stadt. In the 1984–85 season Wittke played in 23 matches, a personal record for season appearances. In 1987, he took part in three qualifying matches for the 1988 Summer Olympics. When he left 1. FC Magdeburg in 1988, he had played in 149 Oberliga matches, 21 FDGB-Pokal matches and 4 European Cup matches for the club.
Union Berlin
Wittke moved to Union Berlin in the summer of 1988, but as his former club did not release him, he was banned for six months. Only in December 1988 did he give his debut for his new club in a match against SG Dynamo Dresden, a 3–1 loss. Wittke did score the equaliser for Berlin, but then missed a penalty. In his first season, he played in 14 matches, but could not prevent Berlin's relegation. In one year in the second-tier DDR-Liga, Wittke played in 23 of 34 matches, but his team missed out on promotion to the Oberliga.
Eisenhüttenstadt, Jena und Leipzig
Wittke then moved back to the Oberliga, joining Eisenhüttenstädter FC Stahl for the 1990–91 season who had been playing in the Oberliga since the previous season. Stahl only finished 9th and missed qualifying for the 2. Bundesliga, despite Wittke playing in 24 of 26 Oberliga matches. For this reason, Wittke joined Carl Zeiss Jena who had qualified for 2. Bundesliga. He quickly became a regular and played in 100 2. Bundesliga matches between 1991 and 1994. When Jena was relegated to the third-tier Regionalliga Nordost, Wittke transferred to VfB Leipzig, playing 25 matches over two seasons, but then ended his playing career in June 1996, after he had broken his fibula a month earlier.
Managerial career
While he had received education as a mechanical engineer at the beginning of his footballing career, he took up work in the banking sector after his playing days were over. In July 2008 he took over managing 1. Suhler SV, a seventh-tier club.

A Mini-MBA is a training regimen focused on the fundamentals of business management. The program provides an introductory insight into business, preparing students as well as professionals for what might be a further exploration, or just a foundational understanding of the area. While it is named as "Mini-MBA", it is generally not considered as a version of MBA degree, with the exceptions of RWTH AACHEN Business School and Harvard GSAS where the “Mini MBA” is just a smaller version of the traditional MBA degree and does carry academic benefits.
Curriculum
Mini-MBA programs typically cover the content topics of traditional MBAs such as accounting, business communication, business ethics, finance, managerial economics, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, operations, and strategic management. In addition to the general Mini-MBA programs where the program covers general business concepts, some colleges offer Mini-MBA specializations in areas such as social media marketing, digital marketing and sustainable innovation. The Harvard GSAS Mini MBA, (as it is a smaller version of HBS MBA) uses the “case-method” teaching which is very common at Harvard business courses.
List of programs
Several business schools, colleges, educational institutions and some companies offer online and offline Mini-MBA programs, including:
Aachen RWTH Business School, Germany (in German)

The Royal Commission on Criminal Justice, also known as the Runciman Commission, was established in London on 14 March 1991 by the Home Secretary for the purpose of examining the English system of criminal justice and making recommendations as to changes that should be made in order increase the efficiency of the system and the effective justice inherent in the process. It took effect in 1993. The Commission was the continuation of Sir John May's inquiry into the false convictions of the Maguire Seven and extension to other miscarriages of justice. Viscount Runciman was the original chairman.
In particular, it was to examine:
1) The behaviour of the police and supervising officers.
2) Proper process of prosecutors
3) Forensic science and the role of professional witnesses.
4) The rights of the accused to a proper defence.
5) The range of powers of the courts in the process, and if the balance is proper.
6) The global efficacy of the process, including process in the right to appeal.
The Royal Commission reported to Parliament in July 1993 and recommended the establishment of an independent body to:
consider suspected miscarriages of justice
refer appropriate cases to the Court of Appeal
As a result the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 established the Criminal Cases Review Commission as an executive non-departmental public body.
The total expenditure of the Royal Commission was £2 600 000.

The Gibb River Road is a road in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Description
The road is a former cattle route that stretches in an east–west direction almost through the Kimberley between the towns of Derby and the Kununurra and Wyndham junction of the Great Northern Highway. Like its namesake, which does not actually cross the road but runs nearby at , it is named after geologist and explorer Andrew Gibb Maitland. The Gibb River Road is one of the two major roads which dissect the Kimberley region—the other being the extreme northern section of Great Northern Highway which runs further to the south.
The road is often closed due to flooding during the wet season, which is typically November through March, although delayed openings have been known to happen, frustrating the tourism industry as well as locals who rely on the road. Since the mid-2000s, the road has been upgraded to a formed gravel two-lane road including a few short bitumenised sections, but 4WD vehicles are still recommended due to the water crossings and numerous heavily corrugated sections.
The Gibb River Road has scenic views of geological formations and natural scenery, Aboriginal and pastoral history, as well as rare and unique fauna and flora. Attractions along the road include Windjana Gorge National Park, Tunnel Creek National Park, Adcock Gorge, Manning Gorge, Galvans Gorge, Lennard Gorge, Bell Gorge, and Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges. Accommodation is offered by several cattle stations in the area including Mount Hart Wilderness Lodge, Mount Barnett Station, Mount Elizabeth Station, Drysdale River Station, the El Questro Station, Ellenbrae and Charnley River Station.
History
From 1948, an Air Beef Scheme operated between Glenroy Station and Wyndham. An abattoir, freezing works, and airstrip were built on the station and the meat airfreighted twice a day to the coast before being shipped to the southern cities. To develop the beef industry further, a Commonwealth Government grant to build a road was given in 1949 and the following year construction of a road to Derby commenced, one of a number of roads built as part of the so-called "Beef Roads Scheme". This southern section, which is sometimes referred to as the Derby-Gibb River Road, was completed in 1956 at a cost of £713,677 and was used for trucking live cattle.
The northern section of the road was under the control of the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley until 1996 when Main Roads Western Australia took over control and upgraded the full length of the highway.
Native title
A joint native title claim, known as the Dambimangari claim and covering a large area of the Kimberley, was lodged in 1998 by the Wanjina-Wunggurr (Native Title) Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC on behalf of three peoples, the Worrorra of Dambimangari, the Wunambal Gaambera of Uunguu, and the Ngarinyin of Wilinggin. The Wilinggin portion of the claim, covering an area of more than along the Gibb River Road, was the first of the three to be determined for the Ngarinyin people, by litigation on 27 August 2004.
