Girolamo Tessari ( – ), also called Gerolamo Tessari or Girolamo dal Santo, was an Italian painter, active in a Renaissance style in his native city of Padua.
Biography
Girolamo was born in Padua, probably in around 1479 to Battista and Franceschina Tessari. His father was a painter, and his grandfather Zuanne Marieta, a weaver originally from Polverara. Girolamo had three sisters, Bartolomea, Graziosa and Faustina. He married Maddalena Tassara di Giovanni da San Leonardo on 24 April 1523. They had a son named Valerio, also a painter, and three daughters. Maddalena died sometime prior to June 1546. His nickname "dal Santo" derives from the fact that he lived in a house not far from "il Santo", the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua.
Career
While a minor figure in 16th-century Paduan painting, Tessari took part in almost all the most important decorative enterprises in Padua's churches and oratories. His first known work is the Miracle of the Glass, painted for the Scuola del Santo in Padua in 1511. In 1513 Tessari frescoed the Transit of Saint Anthony also for the Scuola del Santo; and in 1515, the Miracle of the Mule.
Between about 1535 and 1537, Tessari painted a cycle of frescoes representing Saint Anthony's miracles in the Santuario del Noce in Camposampiero, including a half lunette fresco depicting Anthony's sermon to the fish.
He was hired in 1518 to do some incidental work to complete the altarpiece of the chapel of S. "Sebastiano in the basilica that was left unfinished by Luca Antonio Busati. From 22 June 1523 to 21 August 1526 Girolamo frescoed the chapel of the Madonna in S. Francesco. In 1532, Filippo Borromeo commissioned him to create a Baptism of Christ for the church of S. Giovanni Battista in Lissaro. He also worked on the Oratory of Saint Rocco. In 1542 he completed the frescoes of the "Stories of the Life of St. Benedict" in the main cloister of S. Giustina, left unfinished by Bernardino Parentino. The fresco with the Deposition from the Cross is now in the Musei Civici di Padova. He was called to do frescoes at S. Maria di Castello in Udine.
Among his many works in Padua are a number of fresco decorations, including frescoes at the Basilica of Sant'Antonio da Padova; in the apse of the Church of Santa Maria in Vanzo (painted circa 1520); at the Scuoletta del Carmine; at the Oratory of the Confraternita del Redentore (1537); and a Deposition in the Chapter Hall of the Abbey of Praglia.

is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tooru Fujisawa, the creator of Great Teacher Onizuka. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from 2003 to 2004, with its chapters collected in three volumes.
A 13-episodes anime television series adaptation animated by AIC Spirits and Group TAC aired from April to July 2006. The manga was licensed in North America by Tokyopop, who released the first volume on July 15, 2008. The anime was licensed in the United States and United Kingdom by Manga Entertainment, with its first DVD released on March 20, 2007, and in Australasia by Madman Entertainment. In the US, Sci Fi aired the series in 2007. In 2010 it aired on Chiller.
Synopsis
Officially known to the general public as Special Mobile Investigation Forces Section 2; Special Public Safety Task Force, or Tokko under the supervision of the Public Security Intelligence Agency after the Special Mobile Investigation Troops relinquished, with some of its members recruited from the police force. It was established after the Machida massacre was secretly investigated to discover that the perpetrators were demons, called Phantoms, from the netherworld, able to cross into reality when the "Box of Dirge" (or "Druj", as the DVD English subtitles say) was broken, with each of the 108 pieces being taken by a powerful Phantom. Under the command of Superintendent Ryoko Ibuki, she recruited members, who, as survivors of the Machida massacre, have Phantoms inside them that when "awakened", grant the superhuman speed and the ability to materialize swords. They use swords to dispatch the Phantoms and their lesser human faced larva parasites, that come into the world through the giant holes caused by unnatural earthquakes in Japan's Kanto region, since most firearms do not incapacitate or kill them. Their actions have come under harsh criticism from other officers for conducting their operations in secretive manners and for covering up the deaths of either civilians or police officers, informing the public via news releases that deaths or injuries caused by demons were done by armed or insane criminals.
All members of Section 2 bear a tattoo (except for Ibuki who is not a symbiont). This is their "symbiont tattoo", which marks them as carriers of a "phantom", one of the 108 demons. Not all of the symbionts are with Section 2. A symbiont may be good or evil, but the spirit's alignment is unknown until it is awakened within the host. This phantom also imparts a type of protection, for example allowing Sakura to walk away unscathed from a car accident as a child. Only symbionts have the strength, speed and endurance to kill the demons with bladed weapons. Using the symbionts, Section 2 hunts down the other Phantoms, dismembering them to get the 108 fragments to close the Machida hole before it expands and covers the entire world.
Plot
In 2011, a young man named Ranmaru Shindo lives in Tokyo with his younger sister, Saya. They moved from Machida 5 years earlier, after the massacre of their parents in their apartment complex, which was attacked and overrun by unknown assailants who ruthlessly and brutally killed almost everyone in several buildings in the complex. He has been having recurring dreams for some time, of a tattooed girl covered in blood holding a giant sword surrounded by bodies, but they are now growing more frequent. It is the day his class graduates to become investigators for The Special Mobile Investigation Forces, or Tokki, which he joined to learn about his parents' death. Later on the day of his graduation, he sees the girl from his dream wearing a police uniform. She is Sakura Rokujo, who is in the same class as him and a member of Section 2, known officially as Special Public Safety Task Force, or Tokko. Its other main members include the young prodigy Kureha Suzuka, the silent strongman Takeru Inukai and its leader Ryoko Ibuki. There are many rumors about Tokko, one of which is that they use swords to execute criminals and that body parts are often found at the crime scenes Tokko investigates. There are also rumors that they aren't even human.
When Ranmaru's unit investigates another grizzly murder, a witness claims to see a demon, which was also rumored at other bloody scenes. There they encounter humans with talking human faced larva parasites growing out of them, that are impervious to guns. The demons refer to Ranmaru as having the scent of Michida and attack, before he is saved by Sakura and Tokko. She explains that they were just lesser monsters controlled to target survivors of the Michida incident. Afterwards, Ranmaru's team researches previous violent dismemberments and learns that most have witnesses claiming to see demons and that the incidents have been on the rise since Michida. Sakura soon after reveals to Ranmaru that the Machida incident was caused by the monsters, which are demons from the otherworld. Five days before the incident, a box created by ancient philosophers and alchemists was opened that connects to the otherworld, the demons that came through committed the massacre. The stronger demons are called Phantoms and grow stronger by eating humans, these are the ones Tokko are tasked with finding and killing. The holes created by the earthquakes are the gates that allow them to enter the world. It is also confirmed that the main members of Tokko aren't fully human, referring to themselves as hunters.
Ranmaru and his best friend and partner Hanazono sneak into the closed off Machida crime scene to inspect the hole. When Ranmaru disturbs the hole by dropping something in it, a demon comes out an attacks them. Tokko arrives and saves them, and explains they are all survivors of Machida and the only ones that can defeat them as they have "awakened" into symbionts, having Phantoms inside them that protected them during the incident. The Machida hole is getting bigger and in two years will swallow Tokyo. The box that opened the gate was broken into 108 pieces, each of which is inside a Phantom, and Tokko collects the pieces in order to close the gate. The 12th Phantom, the one controlling the human faced larva parasites, then appears. Ranmaru asks Kureha Suzuka to show him how to awaken so he can fight, even after she warns him that he might not remain himself in which case they would have to kill him. To do so she mortally wounds him and throws him into the hole. When he emerges he completes the symbiosis with a giant demon, forming his tattoos and granting him two large swords, and defeats the Phantom in one attack. When he wakes up a week later, he is transferred to Tokko. In the epilogue it is hinted that two years later the hole did in fact swallow Tokyo.
The story then focuses on Itsuto Araragi and his sister Mayu in 2011, who are survivors of Michida and symbiont hunters unaffiliated with Tokko. Together they hunt Phantoms and eat them to get stronger, absorbing their abilities, aiming to eventually kill them all. They accidentally save Yukino Shiraishi from committing suicide and deduce she was being controlled by a Phantom. They learn students have been going missing at her university and that there are rumors of "demons". There they encounter many Phantoms, learning that some humans willing become them. It is revealed this all started when Yukino discovered what she thought to be a mummy hand and took it back the university, it was in fact a Phantom hand from Machida. Her father, who works at the university, began experimenting and learned humans can become a hybrid of human and phantom by eating them and began to turn the students as well. He was the one who planted a larva in Yukino to make her commit suicide, after she saw him kill her mother. Using their newly absorbed abilities from the Phantoms at the school, Itsuto and Mayu defeat her father, with her finishes him off herself by setting their house on fire. Yukino then moves in with Itsuto and Mayu, saying she wants to learn more about the demons to prevent this from happening again.
Characters
Ranmaru Shindo
One of the survivors of the Machida massacre alongside his young sister Saya, he joined the police force to find out who was responsible for murdering his parents. An officer in the Shibuya precinct as a detective in the Tokki division, he finds out during his work that demons from the other realm are responsible for orchestrating various massacres. Later on, he joins the Tokko division so as to save the country from being overrun by the demons. He suffers from Post-traumatic stress disorder due to the massacre and the deaths of his parents when he and his sister were still in kids. Since he survived the Machida incident, all Phantom demons were given instruction to finish him off, as well as any other witnesses who have seen the events. As he and Saya were the only survivors of the Shindo family, the two became very close after they were tragically orphaned. His symbiont tattoos are on his right forearm and left shoulder.
Saya Shindo
Younger sister of Ranmaru, she joined the police force as a uniformed patrol officer. As a survivor of the Machida massacre, she also has a phantom inside her, though it is never awakened. Unlike her brother, she does not experience post-traumatic stress disorder as she opts to forget the memories of the events in Machida. Like her brother, she gets targeted for assassination by the Phantom demons, as she was one of the survivors of the murders. When not in police work or in danger from being assassinated by the Phantoms, she nags Ranmaru like a mother, such as telling him to finish his food or go have himself checked up for any injuries. She cares deeply about him and will do everything that she can to make sure that he is okay.
Sakura Rokujo
One of the survivors of the Machida massacre, she was the woman haunting Ranmaru's dreams of his parents and neighbors being killed by a Phantom demon. Working in the Tokko division in the Shibuya precinct, the 18-year-old handles a broadsword in dispatching the Phantoms. Her tattoos are on her right shoulder and arm, a dragon, and left arm. Her brother was also a survivor but has been unconscious since then, she resolves to kill all the monsters.
In the anime, it is also hinted that she may have feelings for Ranmaru when she kissed him before she went into his psyche in order to help save him from being possessed. Later on in the anime, she is forced to face her own brother when the symbionts inside of him possess him and turn him into evil. In the final episode Ranmaru stabs her with his sword (and kisses her) to gain her shard, hinting that she dies, however at the end of the episode she is seen laying in a hospital bed apparently in a coma. She then wakes up and we hear evil laughter (not Sakura's).
Kureha Suzuka
A young prodigy who joined the police force at the age of 18 with the rank of Assistant Inspector, she is posted in the Tokko division.
Her preferred weapons are two daggers that have four retractable blades. Kureha does not wear a shirt with the Tokko division's black leather jacket and pants, revealing a tattoo of a butterfly above her pierced belly-button. In the anime, she originally had brown hair, before changing it to blonde after the massacre as a means of moving on after her parents were killed by Phantoms and the death of her younger brother, Akito, at her hands. Her symbiont tattoo, never shown in the manga, was on her right shoulder in the anime.
Takeru Inukai
The only male main member of Tokko, he survived the Machida incident by tearing apart his parents' killers with his bare hands. He is usually silent and dresses in black clothing and wears black shades. In the anime, he was recruited by Ryoko after demons kidnapped his sister and had been a martial artist (implied to be kendo) before joining the police. He is later killed by Sakura's possessed brother back in the ruins of the Machida apartment in episode eleven.
Ryoko Ibuki
Commanding officer of the Tokko division with the rank of Superintendent, she is responsible for the Tokko's operations in conducting anti-Phantom operations in Tokyo. She prefers guns over other weapons and is never actually confirmed to be a symbiont in the manga; in the anime she is explicitly said to be a normal human.
Kaoru Kunikida
Chief Inspector of the Shibuya branch of Tokki, where Ranmaru and Hanazono are assigned. He hates the Tokko division and its members for being so secretive, especially when his fellow officers were murdered by the Phantoms and its human-controlled slaves via Human Face larvae. He is insistent in finding out the reasons why Tokko exists and its agenda, to the cost of possibly losing his job over this. He is especially infuriated when Ranmaru leaves his division for Tokko. In the anime, he appears to have a daughter named Ruru (most likely a nickname) and is also a womanizer.
Based on various side remarks on Kaoru during certain events in the series, it is apparent that he might have been a gangster in his youth before he decided to reform himself as a police officer. His rough behavior and language also fit the general stereotype of a yakuza.
Ichiro Hanazono
Ranmaru's best friend and partner. They graduated together and are assigned to the same commander. They can be troublemakers when together. Ichiro often calls Ranmaru a pervert and says that he has something for his younger sister. In actuality Hanazono has a crush on Saya and often gets mad at Ranmaru for always being around attractive women, stating that he used to think Ranmaru was loser.
Itsuto Araragi
He and his sister Maya are hunters unaffiliated with Tokko. A survivor from Machida, he "awakened" when he and Maya walked in on their parents being eaten by phantoms. Together they hunt phantoms and eat them to get stronger, absorbing their abilities, and aim to eventually kill them all.
Mayu Araragi
She and her older brother Itsuto are hunters unaffiliated with Tokko. As survivor from Machida, they hunt phantoms together and eat them to get stronger by absorbing their abilities, aiming to eventually kill them all. She is adept at detecting phantoms and can insert any image she wants into someone else's mind, a sort of hallucination, although she can physically hold her own.
Yukino Shiraishi
She is accidentally saved from committing suicide by Itsuko and Mayu. After deducing she was being controlled by a phantom, the two learn students have been going missing at the university she works at and that there are rumors of "demons". It all started when Yukino discovered and took back the university what was in fact a Phantom hand from Machida. Her father began experimenting and learned humans can become a hybrid of human and phantom by eating them and began to turn the students as well, with some willingly agreeing. He planted a larva in Yukino to make her commit suicide when she walked in on him trying to force her mother to eat phantom and killed her when she refused.
In the anime her character is different, she is often referred to as the "hottie from the crime lab" by Ranmaru's colleagues. Her mother died prior to the Machida incident, with her father becoming obsessed with his research soon after. Saya set her and Ranmaru up on a blind date that ended up in them finding out more about the phantoms. Later on, on a second date they were attacked by Yukino's father after he turned himself into a phantom/human hybrid. Leaving her job awhile after, Yukino gives Ranmaru the info behind the murderer of her mother who caused the Machida incident.
Mikae
She is Saya's colleague whom Saya tries to pair up with Ranmaru. In the anime, she later develops a crush on him.
Ogata

February Papers is an album by percussionist Tony Oxley. It was recorded during February 1977 at Hampden Gurney Studios in London, and was released on LP later that year by Incus Records. On the album, Oxley is joined by guitarist Ian Brighton, violinists David Bourne and Philipp Wachsmann, and bassist Barry Guy. In 2020, the album was reissued on CD by Discus Music.
Reception
In a review for Point of Departure, David Grundy wrote: "February Papers is an intensely focused album... Broadly speaking, 'composition' here suggests arrangements of ensemble texture in quartet, trio and solo configurations, or, in the case of Oxley's solo percussion, focusing on particular surfaces or striking implements. The music is collective, non-egotistical: a rustling world of detail and blur, highly active yet somehow evasive, sounds insinuating themselves on the edge of consciousness."
Ken Waxman of JazzWord praised Oxley's solo tracks, stating that they "confirm the percussion smarts that allowed him to gig with Hard Boppers and Free Jazzers alike. Plus these stentorian bass drum rumbles, cymbal shrills and electronic drones are not only persuasive on their own, but as accompaniment transform showpieces into contrapuntal connections."
Musician and writer Henry Kuntz called the album "essential listening" thanks to its "advanced technical and conceptual ideas," and described the track titled "Combination" as "one of [Oxley's] most fully realized integrations of electronic and acoustic sound sources on record." He stated that the ensemble work "tend[s] to blur rather than to accentuate instrumental difference," but noted that "there are obvious compositional and developmental principles at work and well structured-in solos."
Writing for Contact, Keith Potter stated that "The music on this disc is nicely paced
and varied from track to track," and, regarding the solo pieces, remarked: "Composition or improvisation? In a way it doesn't really matter here. The composer has the freedom to play what he wants. And the improviser to compose (pre-structure?) as much as he wants."

Giovanni Folo (1764–1836) was an Italian engraver of the Neoclassic period, active in Italy.
Folo was born in Bassano del Grappa. He originally studied with Giulio Golini and Giovanni Battista Mengardi in Venice. In 1781 he moved to Rome to study with Giovanni Volpato, but later he followed the style of Volpato's pupil, Raffaello Morghen, gaining fame for his engravings after famous paintings and sculptures of the most eminent masters, including Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, Nicolas Poussin, Bertel Thorwaldsen, Antonio Canova and others. He was a member of the Academy of Saint Luke (Accademia di San Luca) in Rome, and died in Rome. In 1836, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Honorary Academician.

Shane Claiborne (born July 11, 1975) is an evangelical Christian leader, an author, one of the founding members of the non-profit organization, The Simple Way, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, cofounder of the Red-Letter Christians. Claiborne is also a social activist, advocating for nonviolence and service to the poor. He is the author of the book, The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical.
Biography
Claiborne grew up in Maryville, Tennessee. His father, who was a Vietnam War veteran, died when Shane was 9 years old. During his childhood, he attended a Methodist church. After being invited to a Pentecostal church by high school friends, he became a Christian and was baptized. He studied sociology and youth ministry at Eastern University and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in 1997.
During his studies, Claiborne worked alongside Mother Teresa during a 10-week term in Calcutta. He has written about how his work with Mother Teresa impacted him and made him realize the need to support a consistent life ethic, to protect all human life from conception to natural death. He spent three weeks in Baghdad with the Iraq Peace Team (IPT), a project of Voices in the Wilderness and Christian Peacemaker Teams. He was witness to the military bombardment of Baghdad as well as the militarized areas between Baghdad and Amman. As a member of IPT, Claiborne took daily trips to sites where there had been bombings, visited hospitals and families, and attended worship services during the war.
Career
After his studies, he served at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago.
In 1998, with five others Eastern University graduates, he founded The Simple Way in Kensington, Philadelphia.
In 2000s, he became board member for the nationwide Christian Community Development Association.
In 2006, he published the book The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical, a plea for Christian voluntary simplicity and social justice.
In 2007, with Tony Campolo, he founded Red-Letter Christians, with the aim of bringing together evangelicals who believe in the importance of insisting on issues of social justice mentioned by Jesus (in red in some translations of the Bible).
On June 20, 2007, a seven-alarm fire at the abandoned warehouse across the street destroyed The Simple Way Community Center where Claiborne lived. He lost all of his possessions in the fire. The Simple Way immediately set up funds to accept donations to help those who lost their homes in the fire.
In June 2008, with Chris Haw, he visited churches and community centers in cities across the United States in a refurbished used vegetable oil fuel school bus, labeled "Jesus for President", to give talks on Christian social justice. In September, they released the book Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals.
In 2008, he was featured in the documentary The Ordinary Radicals. He co-directed the three volume Another World is Possible DVD series. Claiborne wrote the foreword to Ben Lowe's 2009 book Green Revolution: Coming Together to Care for Creation.
In 2011 he has appeared as both a guest and co-host of the TV show Red-Letter Christians with Tony Campolo. That year also, he declared his unwillingness to pay taxes to fund U.S. military activity. He withheld a portion of his income taxes meant to correspond to the percentage of the federal budget spent on the military, donating that money instead to charity. He wrote a public letter to the Internal Revenue Service to explain his decision.
On January 26, 2016, he released the book Executing Grace - How the Death Penalty Killed Jesus and Why It's Killing Us. It makes a case for the abolition of the death penalty through social and spiritual arguments.
In 2023, he published the book Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person, a book that calls for extending the Christian definition of the "pro-life" movement to other issues than abortion, such as armed violence, poverty and the death penalty.
Personal life
On May 7, 2011, Shane Claiborne married Katie Jo Brotherton.
He is a member of an Anabaptist church.
Honorary doctorate
In 2010, he has received an honorary doctorate from Eastern University.

Complicit absolution is an offense in Roman Catholic canon law consisting of the absolution of a party complicit with the absolving priest in an offense. Because it constitutes the abuse of a sacrament, it is held to be sacrilege.
Some cases involve secular clergy in the archdiocese of Boston who were similarly accused of abusing the confessional in the documents Crimen sollicitationis and De delictis gravioribus.

Gospel Outreach was a Christian Church which emerged in Northern California in 1970 as part of the Jesus movement. Originally located at Table Bluff, in Humboldt County, California, south of Fields Landing, at an elevation of on a bluff adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, the local movement still exists with a school and Church in Eureka, California which was completed in 2009.
Lighthouse Ranch
During the 1960s, members of the hippie counterculture sought a simple life; many were drawn to areas away from large cities and getting back to the land. The Lighthouse Ranch was an abandoned Coast Guard station occupying 8 acres (32,000 m2) of coastal land 11 miles south of Eureka, California. It was situated on the hippie trail that then extended along the west coast of California. The ranch was purchased by Norman Kenneth Smith, an evangelical minister, who converted it to a Christian commune. In 1971, Jim Durkin, a local pastor and real estate agent, formed Gospel Outreach to purchase the ranch from Ken Smith. It became a stopover for young adults seeking spiritual direction. Young travelers visited and many stayed, immersing themselves in Bible study, prayer and worship. They also attended services at Deliverance Temple, the church that Jim Durkin pastored in Eureka. They worked in the vegetable garden on the land, and at various other enterprises. In addition to the existing Coast Guard buildings, they built at least one alternative dwelling on the cliffside overlooking the ocean. Building plans were published in the Whole Earth Catalog as part of the Back-to-the-land movement.
Church growth
By 1972, Gospel Outreach Lighthouse Ranch had grown to almost 300 members. In keeping with its name, Gospel Outreach began sending missionary teams throughout the world. Throughout the 1970s and 80's, the organization established churches in Palmer, Alaska; Chicago, Illinois; Brooklyn, New York; Silverton, Oregon; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Teams were also sent to Germany, United Kingdom, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Hawaii. With 100 affiliated churches worldwide the Gospel Outreach network became one of the denominational legacies of the Jesus People Movement.
Central message
In the 1970s Jim Durkin preached "God's Purpose And Vision" in sermons, books and television and radio broadcasts. God's purpose, according to Durkin, was to exalt Jesus Christ in all creation. And to accomplish this, He instilled in believers His vision--to preach the gospel throughout the world. Durkin also emphasized repentance, as in a need for a follower of Christ to experience a "turning away' from past wrongful behaviors. This concept was readily understood by young people who had recently identified themselves as hippies.
Durkin emphasized the importance of considering the needs of others first, and the personal growth of each individual. The name "Gospel Outreach" reflected the words of Jesus, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (good news) to the whole creation."
In literature
Three nonfiction books were written featuring the experiences of individuals involved with Lighthouse Ranch.

The Hobie 33 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Hobie Alter and Phil Edwards as one-design racer and first built in 1982. It was the first monohull design for Alter and his company, after establishing their reputations for their lines of surfboards and catamarans
Production
The design was built by Hobie Cat in the United States from 1982 until 1987, with 187 examples completed, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Hobie 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of a polyester and fiberglass sandwich, with wood trim. Very light for its size with a displacement of , it has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or lifting keel with a bulb weight. It displaces and carries of lead ballast.
The lifting keel version of the design uses a "bolt-down" style of keel, It has a draft of with the lifting keel extended and with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer. It has a very narrow beam of to meet the legal requirements for highway trailer widths. It mast is hinged at the mast step and the spinnaker pole is used to raise the mast for quick launching with a small crew.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The outboard is fitted into a stern well, that allows the motor to be swung up and a hatch closed to fair the opening.
The galley is limited to a dish locker, an icebox under the companionway steps and provisions for an optional alcohol-fired stove. The fresh water tank has a capacity of . There is a sink fed by pumped water, vanity and space for a portable-type head to be installed. Sleeping accommodations are provided for five people on a bow "V"-berth, two under-cockpit single berths and one main cabin settee berth.
There are six port fixed lights in a tapered shape and a forward acrylic plastic hatch for ventilation.
The cockpit has two sheet winches and all lines, including the halyards, lead to the cockpit. A spinnaker can be used for downwind sailing. The genoa employs a headfoil (a headsail airfoil-shaped reinforcement) and a concealed backstay adjuster. The mainsheet and the boom vang both have 4:1 mechanical advantages. There is a topping lift and an internal outhaul line.
The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 73.0 and a hull speed of .
Operational history
In a 1994 review, Richard Sherwood, described the boat, "This boat is Hobie Alter’s first venture into monohulls and off-shore boats. She is ultra-light-displacement and designed for one-design racing, but will sleep two couples. The 33 tends to sail well heeled. The narrow beam is required so the boat can be trailered. The keel is lifted for trailering, and it is bolted down for sailing."

The Stavisky affair was a financial scandal in France in 1934, involving embezzler Alexandre Stavisky. The scandal had political ramifications for the Radical-Socialist government after it was revealed that Prime Minister Camille Chautemps had protected Stavisky, who died suddenly in mysterious circumstances.
Political rightists engaged in large anti-government demonstrations on 6 February 1934, which resulted in the Paris police firing upon and killing 15 demonstrators. A right-wing coup d'état seemed like a possibility at the time, but historians agree that the multiple rightist forces were uncoordinated and not trying to overthrow the government.
Stavisky
Serge Alexandre Stavisky (1888–1934), who became known as le beau Sacha ("Handsome Sasha"), was a Russian Jew who was born in modern-day Ukraine; his parents had relocated to France. Stavisky tried various professions, working as a café singer, a nightclub manager, a soup factory worker and as the operator of a gambling den. During the 1930s, he managed municipal pawnshops in Bayonne but also knew financial people. Stavisky sold worthless bonds and financed his "hockshop" on the surety of what he called the emeralds of the late Empress of Germany, which were later revealed to be glass.
Stavisky maintained his reputation by using his acquaintances with important people. If a newspaper tried to investigate his affairs, he paid it to stop either with large advertisement contracts or by buying the newspaper's company.
In 1927, Stavisky was put on trial for fraud for the first time. However, the trial was postponed repeatedly, and he was granted bail nineteen times. Stavisky probably continued his scams during that time. One judge who claimed to have secret documents involving Stavisky was later found decapitated. Janet Flanner wrote:
The scheme which finally killed Alexandre Stavisky, his political guests' reputations, and the uninvited public's peace of mind, was his emission of hundreds of millions of francs' worth of false bonds on the city of Bayonne's municipal pawnshop, which were bought up by life-insurance companies, counseled by the Minister of Colonies, who was counseled by the Minister of Commerce, who was counseled by the Mayor of Bayonne, who was counseled by the little manager of the hockshop, who was counseled by Stavisky.
At the risk of exposure in December 1933, Stavisky fled. On 8 January 1934, the police found him in a chalet in Chamonix; he was dead from a gunshot wound. Stavisky was officially determined to have committed suicide, but there was a persistent speculation that police officers had killed him. Fourteen Parisian newspapers reported his death as a suicide, but eight did not. The distance that the bullet had travelled caused the newspaper Le Canard enchaîné to propose sarcastically that Stavisky had "a long arm".
Political crisis of 6 February 1934
After Stavisky's death, details about his long criminal history, his relations with the French establishment and his controversial death became public. His involvement with so many ministers caused the resignation of Prime Minister Camille Chautemps with accusations from the right-wing opposition that he and his police had killed Stavisky intentionally to protect influential people. The new Prime Minister was Édouard Daladier, and one of his first acts was to dismiss the prefect of the Paris police, Jean Chiappe, who was notorious for his rightist sympathies and suspected of encouraging previous anti-government demonstrations. Daladier then dismissed the director of the Comédie Française, who had been staging William Shakespeare's controversial play Coriolanus, and replaced him with the director of the Sûreté-Générale, a protégé of Chautemps and Daladier's centre-left Radical‐Socialist Party. He also appointed a new Interior Minister, Eugène Frot, who announced that demonstrators would be shot.
The dismissal of Chiappe was the immediate cause of the 6 February 1934 crisis, which some considered as a possible rightist putsch. According to the historian Joel Colton, "The consensus among scholars is that there was no concerted or unified design to seize power and that the police lacked the coherence, unity, or leadership to accomplish such an end". The historian of fascism, René Rémond, described it as "barely a riot... a street demonstration".
However, leftists feared an overt fascist conspiracy. Fomented by several conservative, anti-Semitic, monarchist or fascist groups, including Action Française, the Croix-de-Feu and the Mouvement Franciste, the demonstration occurred on the night of 6–7 February 1934. The police fired upon and killed 15 demonstrators.
Daladier was forced to resign. His successor was the conservative Gaston Doumergue, who formed a coalition government. It was the first time during the Third Republic that a government had to resign from riots by the opposition. Other results were the formation of anti-fascism leagues and an alliance between the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO), the main socialist party, and the French Communist Party. That resulted in the 1936 Popular Front, which won that year's elections.
Further consequences
The scandal involved a remarkable range of people from politics, wealthy society and the literary-intellectual elite of Paris. Mistinguett was asked why she had been photographed with Stavisky at a nightclub. Georges Simenon reported on the affair and Stavisky's ex-bodyguard threatened him with physical violence. Colette, referring to the alleged inability of any of Stavisky's important friends to remember him, described the dead con artist as "a man with no face".
A trial of twenty people associated with Stavisky began in 1935. Printed charges were 1200 pages long. All of the accused, including Stavisky's widow, two deputies and one general, were acquitted the next year. The amount defrauded was estimated to be the equivalent of $18 million at the prevailing exchange rates, plus an additional $54 million that came within months of being attained. The location of Stavisky's wealth is still unknown.
The Stavisky affair left France weakened internally. The country remained divided politically for the rest of the decade, but the political weaknesses it exposed and exacerbated were not confined to France. The affair was emblematic of a more general decrease of popularity of democratic values and institutions in Europe during the Great Depression.
In popular culture
French movie director Alain Resnais told the story in the 1974 movie Stavisky, featuring Jean-Paul Belmondo with the title role and Anny Duperey as his wife Arlette.
In Forces occultes, a movie commissioned in 1942 by the Propaganda Abteilung, a delegation of Nazi Germany's propaganda ministry within occupied France, Stavisky was presented as both a Freemason and a crook.
Hollywood released a depiction in 1937 with Stolen Holiday, featuring Claude Rains as Stavisky's fictional counterpart, Stefan Orloff, and Kay Francis as his wife. Stolen Holiday asserted unequivocally that Orloff was shot by police and his death made to look like a suicide.
The affair also forms part of the background of the events in J. Robert Janes "Kaleidoscope", one of the Kohler & St. Cyre mystery novels.

Heather Brigstocke, Baroness Brigstocke CBE (2 September 1929 – 30 April 2004) was a British schoolteacher, academic and Conservative Life Peer.
Life
She was born into a working-class family as Heather Renwick Brown in Birchington, Kent, the daughter of Squadron Leader John Renwick Brown, DFC, a former Scottish miner and newsagent. Brown was persuaded to have a career in the RAF after the war.
She was educated at The Abbey School, Reading, where a classics teacher encouraged her to apply to university. She won a state scholarship
to Girton College, Cambridge, later switching to the Archaeology and Anthropology course.
Brigstocke was a talented stage actress, but her parents refused to allow her to pursue her wishes. She had developed a mellifluous voice, rich with charm, which she put to good use at business school, and later on when talking to parents. She spent her time at university touring Sweden with an acting troupe performing Shakespeare, and then at parties with the likes of Norman St John Stevas and Julian Slade. She was the first woman to win the Winchester Reading Prize, leaving with a lower second degree.
After a short period as a management trainee at Selfridges, she won a classics teacher's job at the independent Francis Holland School, and then at Godolphin and Latymer in Hammersmith.
In 1952, she married Geoffrey Brigstocke, a civil servant and diplomat, and former POW. They had four children, three sons and one daughter, David Hugh Charles, Julian, Thomas, and Emma Persephone.
In 1961, she travelled with her husband to his post in Washington D.C., where she taught Latin at the National Cathedral School. In 1963, they returned to London and she returned to the Francis Holland School as headmistress from 1965 to 1974, and High Mistress of St Paul's Girls' School from 1974 to 1989.
On 21 May 1990, she was created a life peer as Baroness Brigstocke, of Kensington in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and sat as a Conservative. She was part of many educational societies during the 1990s and was the founding chairman of Home-Start International. She was appointed a Governess of Imperial College, London.
On 22 January 2000, Lady Brigstocke, widowed since her husband had died in 1974 on Turkish Airlines Flight 981, married the fellow widower peer, Hugh Griffiths, Baron Griffiths, the law lord who had an interest in fishing. Brigstocke had got to know him when his wife, Evelyn, was chairman of the St Paul's Girls' School governors, and she had often stayed with them on the Isle of Wight.
In the Millennium Honours list she was made Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to the English-speaking Union, of which she had been chairman since 1993.
She was chairman of Landau Forte College, in Derby, from 1993, and enjoyed being an honorary bencher of the Inner Temple.
Death
Baroness Brigstocke died in 2004, aged 74, in Athens, Greece, in a road traffic accident, when she tried to cross a badly-lit road with her assistant Rosemary Magid, after a charity meeting. Both women were killed by a speeding driver.
Her body was taken home to her children and executors at 26 Edwardes Square, W8.

It features contributions from Greg Leisz, Mike Daly (Whiskeytown), Will Rigby (dB's, Steve Earle), and Neal Casal.
Reception
No Depression wrote that the album's 12 songs "exhibit a directness of expression, a simple universality clearly achieved with considerable composing and life experience." A more mixed review in the New York Post criticized Allison's voice on the album as "a stuffed nasal style that makes every song sound like she should see a doctor."

Ansty and Staplefield, previously Cuckfield Rural, is a civil parish in the Mid Sussex District of West Sussex, England, covering an area from the north-west side of Burgess Hill, the whole lying around but mostly to the west of Cuckfield civil parish, from which it was created in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894. It includes the settlements of Ansty in the south, Staplefield to the north-west and Brook Street to the north-east. It is the largest civil parish in West Sussex, covering an area of , and has a population of 1574 (2001 Census), increasing to 1,756 at the 2011 Census.
Landmarks include Borde Hill Garden, and Tyes Place, an historic mansion.
Ansty
Ansty is a small settlement which has a number of old houses, such as Leigh Manor. It is surrounded by many areas of natural beauty.
Staplefield
Staplefield () lies on the old London to Brighton Road, which was shifted west to its present alignment two centuries ago. It was an ancient hub at the head of the navigable Ouse. The village is strung around Staplefield Common, which still has its old openness, with a cricket pitch and pub. Chamomile is common on the west side and near the war memorial.
Old archaic heathy vegetation including meadow fungi, Betony and Heath Bedstraw hold on. Staplefield Churchyard is richer, and as many as sixteen meadow Waxcap, Hygrocybe fungi have been recorded (making it the third best site in middle Sussex) and in spring you may see Green Winged and Spotted Orchids, Pepper Saxifrage, Bitter Vetch, Zig Zag Clover, Spring Sedge, Betony, and even Cowslips just clinging on amid many other herbs and grasses. Along Brantridge Lane to the east is the Old Hall mansion and park - all heavy-duty lake construction and earth moving and screen planting. It has a mock classical temple folly on its lake island.
Notable buildings and areas
The parish runs between the A23 London Road, which runs along the west boundary of the county, and Haywards Heath. Its natural beauty is being diminished by the many housing developments and poor rural planning. Locals are continue to campaign to protect the remaining natural treasures in the area.
Copyhold Gill, near Heaselands, and Freeks Woods are as fine as the best protected places in the Weald, yet lie in a landscape without statutory protection. There are a number of little streams between Stairbridge and Bishopstone Lanes that are rich in wildlife. The surrounding ground is wet Weald clay before it rises to the sands of Foxashes Wood. Here there are tattered stands of dried fleabane and marsh thistle, rush and tussock grass, knapweed, angelica, bracken and golden crab apples.
Most well known are Bedelands' superb flower meadows, but like the rest, it is threatened by the looming developments proposed on all sides. For in the gap between Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill huge housing developments are proposed, surrounding the Bedelands Farm meadows and woods nature reserve, and sprawling northwards from the line of the A2300 Burgess Hill-A23 Link Road. They are calling this the 'Northern Arc'.
Bedelands and surrounding area
Bedelands LNR (Local Nature Reserve) is best known for its archaic flower meadows (e.g. ). There are seven of them, each with a different history and character. Buttercup and ox eye daisy dominate visually. Yellow rattle is abundant over much of the meadows, and hosts the scarce grass rivulet moths. Bedelands is their greatest Sussex stronghold. The ground is mainly Wealden Clay.
To the west, Watford Meadow and Wet Meadow (with its boardwalk) feels like a medieval assart from a Wealden forest. It has ragged robin and sneezewort The three eastern meadows were part of Valebridge Common () until its enclosure, and that history is reflected by the names: Valebridge Common Field, and Furze Common Field.
Big Wood, Watford Wood, Long Wood, and Leylands Wood benefit from the management of the District Council and the Friends of Burgess Hill Green Circle. The Wasp Beetle seems to be particularly common. Bumblebees are everywhere, with burnet companion moth and common blue butterfly. The flowers of May host many beautiful spiders, like the Yellow crab spider, the Cucumber Green Spider (often near hedges) and a host of others.
Freeks Lane to the west of Bedelands is the direct descendant of the straight Roman road, but 1800 years of traffic have led it to weave in more relaxed fashion between huge old oak trees and rich hedgerows colourful with woodland flowers. In Freeks Farm Wood () overlooking the fording, the wild service tree is clustered along the bank top. All around in the wood are very tall sessile oak poles. There are remnants of struggling coppice of hazel, hornbeam and holly. It is a shady, wood of bluebell and wood anemone with many other old woodland plants, like field rose on the boundary with Freeks Farm meadow () which is archaic and colourful, and has grizzled skipper.
North of Bedelands and Clearwaters Farm the Wealden Clay gives way to sandstones. The ground rises beyond ancient Kiln Wood () to meet painful new built development on the south edge of Haywards Heath.
Around Stairbridge Lane
Between Stairbridge and Bishopstone Lane, despite the noise pollution near to the A23, this countryside remains special. Lovell's Farmstead () has tall chimneys, ancient barns of herringboned ironstone and ashlar, an ancient oak and little ponds. Behind it are large woods. Foxashes Wood () is ancient, with much Sweet Chestnut coppice, some recently cut. The richest part is along the eastern boundary stream. Chaites Wood () is mostly secondary.
Stairbridge Lane () has at least two working farms (Stairbridge and Field Place) and often wide, grassy, mown verges. Chaites Farmstead () has a range of good Victorian and early 20th century outbuildings, including granary and threshing barn of sandstone, and big tiled roofs. Little Wortleford Wood () running down to the clay banks of the Adur, is emblematic of the best of the Low Weald. Bluebells are almost 100% dominant, under Oak and Hazel, with large Hornbeam coups and Crab Apple. Cuckoos once called, distant and near, and they can still today.
Around Bishopstone Lane
On the meadow banks of the Adur, east and west of the Wood, Demoiselle(of both species) cluster in the reed beds. In Maytime Wortleford Bridge () on Bishopstone Lane has Wild hop sprawling over the bushes, frothing Cow Parsley, rampant Dog Rose, Sallow cotton from the bushes by the gurgling weir, and rich insect life. There is only a slight smell from the large sewage works upstream. The meadow to the east () is flowery and there are Glowworms on the sometimes meandering, sometimes sunken Bishopstone Lane.
Hilders Farm and Bishopstone Farm, form a huddle, with a cluster of special old buildings, including weatherboarded and rubblestone barns. Three meadows to the south west, (), retain their archaic vegetation (2014) with Dyer's Green weed, Sneezewort, Trailing Tormentil, Pepper Saxifrage, and Betony. Close by Legh Manor and Barn, (), also form a fine old group. The Manor used to belong to the Sussex Archaeological Society, and be open to the public.
Long Wood, Pickwells Shaw and the centre (northwest of Ansty)
David Bangs has been described as "good countryside to get mildly lost in" and describe the oldest place names of the area as evoking untamed qualities. He says, "Only the noise of the London Road anchors you in present time". Names he lists include Moorfields Farm; Horsmanhoad and Hoadsherf (hoad = 'heath'); Barnsnape (probably 'steep boggy land'); Thorndean ('thorny swine pasture'), Pookchurch Pit, ( (puca = 'goblin'); Broxmead ('brocc smeagel' = Badger hole); and Raggetts ('ra geat' = Roe Deer gate).
At Buncton Lane or Pickwells Lane the woods become bigger with running streams the moment you enter, e.g. (). Many of these woods are modified by modern conifer plantings, but some are in the process of restoration, and there are large new woods connecting fragmented ancient woods. There are Wild Daffodils here and there, Scarlet elf cap in wet spots in early spring, and Violet Helleborine orchid can be found under summer's shady canopy.
Walking up Pickwell's Lane there is a Sessile Oak giant on the east side bank (), with its massive clean bole, shooting upwards. Sessile Oak is a feature of these woods, with a grove in the south east corner of Long Wood, () by the footpath and the field edge. There are big wooded pits on the Wood's north slope, probably dug for Grinstead Stone. Old Hoadsherf Farm, (), has the quality of an assart, scooped out of the forest. In Ragget's Wood it is new planted, but Pickwells Shaw () has sessile oak too. The Black Forest, , is modern conifer planting, now with much Birch, but old caravans, huts, chalet, earth moving, and builders' materials, make an ugly mess (2012).
Cuckfield Park
Cuckfield Park was originally a deer park. After the partition of the estates of the failed de Warenne male line, and the disparking of their deer parks, a member of the new class of plutocratic iron masters built Cuckfield Park mansion, , in 1580, to the west of the church. He may have used stones that remained from the old hunting lodge of the de Warenne's, which stood near the church's south wall. Features include a kitchen garden, deer park, lakes, and a fine lime avenue. It has a brick gatehouse with four octagonal turrets.
Cuckfield Park, around the house, sadly has no ancient trees left. The best of it is New England Wood, , north of the house, an ancient woodland nature reserve around a gill. The north verge at the western end of the Cuckfield bypass, , has colourful archaic meadow vegetation, with much Dyers Greenweed (2012). Between the bypass and the church is the long established Laines Organic Farm.
Deaks Lane
Deaks Lane is the site of lost Westup Farm (). it is now just rusty cattle barns, but behind them on the vertical bank is a muscly, bent monster of a tree: an english oak pollard all of 3.5 spans in girth. On the clay bands of these slopes, the old hedges are bright in autumn colours: red, orange and egg yellow Maple, with Spindle, Hazel, Dogwood, Ash and Dog Rose Across the valley southwards is Westup Wood () with Sessile Oak and Wild Service Tree..
A short distance north again, Deaks Lane bridges a gill stream. On the east side Hook Wood (), and on the west side Wyllies Wood, have been brutally coniferised, and the dark, bare ground runs right to the water's edge. However, west of Wyllies Wood the gill turns north, with intact ancient woodland, spectacularly steep mini-ravines, waterfalls and tumbled trees ().
At the top of Deaks Lane, near Henmead, there are big houses with big gates. Along the high watershed ridge tracked by Sloughgreen Lane (between the basins of the Ouse and the Adur) there are only very few surviving fragment of its old moorland vegetation, such as the hidden meadow just south of Pitts Head Crossroads (). In 2011 it had Devil's bit scabious, Sneezewort and Tormentil although this may have been succeeded.
Broxmead Lane
Between Broxmead Lane and the London Road, a winding valley is cloaked with the intact ancient woodland of The Hanger, e.g. : a place of English Oak, Ash, Birch and Gean, over abundant old coppice Hazel. For nearly a mile its shady gill stream, with big fleshy liverworts, runs through this wood. New woods have been added to it in places, such as where Little Thorndean Farm once stood (), now marked only by a little quarry: a hollow where the well once was, the remains of an outgrown Ash hedge and a wonderful Oak pollard in blooming health, with the broadest sheltering canopy. There are flint flakes and broken microliths in the ploughland adjacent.
On the west side of the gill stream a landslip () recently brought Wadhurst Clay and sandstone crashing into The Hanger, splintering trees into an impenetrable tangle. The little Merryfields valley north of Broxmead Lane, has a cluster of three archaic grasslands, two on the south side of the stream and one on the north. The pasture that the footpath descends from the Lane (), was ploughed as recently as thirty years ago, but now has much Adders tongue fern, with Common Spotted Orchid. To its east, a tiny pasture now cared for in the grounds of Merrybrook () has Heath Spotted Orchid, Ragged Robin and Devil's bit scabious. There are Stock Doves in tree holes, Grass Snakes, and Bullhead in stream pools.
The best site, though, is an isolated meadow on the north side of the stream (). On a sunny it can be full of wildlife which can include all the UK Soldierflies including the Green Gem, the Broad Centurion and the Common Orange Legionnaire, as well as the Black Snipefly. There can be butterflies too including Common Blue, Small Copper and Dingy Skipper, damsel flies and lacewings and many birds. It still retains Dyer's Greenweed, Ox-eye daisy, Common Spotted Orchid and Pepper Saxifrage, and Spring Sedge and Zigzag Clover cling on, with Common Valerian down by the stream.
East of Handcross: Tanyard and Bantridge Lane
To the north of the parish and east of Handcross, to the between Tanyard and Bantridge Lane, Sole's Coppice, , is a mixture of ancient and secondary woodland, with some fine old Beeches along its western gill slopes. Ditton Place was once a mansion and then was then converted to an Inner London Education Authority special school. It is now part of a new residential complex.
To the north west, towards Nymans gardens National Trust is a collection of woods. Two footpaths descend from Handcross eastwards into theses deep woods that run continuously for 1.3 miles to Brantridge Lane: Cow Wood and Harry's Wood (both SSSI's around ), and Blackfold and Dencombe Woods (just out of the parish). There are a scatter of fine veteran Oak and Beech, both standing and fallen. Along its higher contours it is an Oak-Hazel wood with some Beech. Ash joins in lower down over the outcropping Grinstead Clay. There are English and Sessile Oak coppice, and some part-controlled Rhodi infestation. Cow Wood's has a 'Redwood Avenue', down in the main Nymans valley, is long and lovely, with alternating Wellingtonias, Coastal Redwood, and Spruce. There are lots of patches of Wild Daffodils in the gullies and valley sides, ().
There is a low outcrop of Ardingly Sandstone rocks along the south side of the valley. In the 1990s mats of Tunbridge Filmy Fern, Hymenophyllum tunbrigense, with its translucent, one-cell-thick fronds were there as a result of the humid microclimate of this valley that existed for about 5000 years. It is gone, now - stolen en masse in November 2011.
The valley stream debouches into the pond of the vanished Tudor Blackfold iron furnace with shaded mossy banks, (). The furnace made pig iron for transportation to the forge at Holmsted, 1.75 miles to the south. Blackfold wood and valley lie just north east, (). They are tranquil and remote, with a deep gill, dense plantation Larch and Norwegian Spruce over the lower slopes, but good Oaks, old Sweet Chestnut coppice and Bracken further up. (Now part-sold off as fragments, 2017).
There used to be a farm on the plateau (). It is long gone, but a fine three span Oak pollard survives on the farmstead site. Blackfold was a medieval swine pasture of Saddlescombe, 11.5 miles due south behind Newtimber Hill, on the Downs. Strange to think that such a tiny hamlet could once command such remote woodlands.
To the north, just our of the parish is High Beeches Gardens ().
Borde Hill Estate and the centre
Borde Hill Estate is around . The Estate is made up of four let farms as well as areas of land which are farmed by the Estate in conjunction with a local contractor. The vast majority of the Estate sits within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is also subject to agricultural, environmental and woodland schemes. Despite this mosaic of farmed and wooded land, there are quite large areas free of public motor roads. However, the amount of public footpaths and green lanes are also limited. The Stephenson Clarkes who own it made their fortune as shipping magnates. The wet clay woods to the north-west () have many pheasants for shoots. The Estate sold the land for the Penland Farm development on the edge of Haywards Heath. Their relatives have an estate at Cinder Hill, Horsted Keynes, which used to centre on Broadhurst Manor before that was separately sold.
Staplefield Road, Sloughgreen Lane and surrounding area
An ancient ridge top route tracks westwards from Whiteman's Green, marking the watershed between the Ouse, to the north, and the Adur, to the south. It takes several names as it goes west: Staplefield Road, Sloughgreen Lane, and then to the west of the parish, Cuckfield Lane and Warninglid Lane.
North of Staplefield Road is a roadless vale of small woods, little farms, and low wooded ridges (with Toll Shaw, Hammerhill Copse and Bigge's Farm upon them). Much of it is part of the Borde Hill estate. The woodland is heavily pitted, and many of the pits are now ponds, but it was Horsham Stone they were digging, not iron ore. On the underside of upturned root plates and along some paths there are large pieces of Horsham slabstone.
The low ridges are capped with hard Horsham Stone strata within the sunken wedge of Wealden Clay which is the central feature of the rift valley. The Wealden Clay outcrops between Sidnye Farm and Mizbrooks Farm - well-named (it means 'moss brook') because there are a series of springs eastwards from there along Spark's Lane (as in the wood at ) marking the transition from the sandstone to the clay below. It is an 'Oak countryside'. The old hedges are well managed and the tracks hard surfaced. The farmed land means that there is an absence of archaic grassland sites.
Sidnye Farm, , is a Borde Hill tenancy. The name, like Ryelands, includes the old river name 'ea'. Bigge's Farm, , is 15th century, with a timber frame, and nearby Cleaver's Farm and Mizbrooks are 17th century or earlier, and timber framed.
Holmstead Farm has been damaged by agribusiness and the noise from the A23 is relentless. Further downslope the ancient Holmsted Wood, which remained intact until the 1970s, is now all gone and its site used for landfill, now grassed over. Holmsted and Hammerhill Farm took their names from the Holmsted Hammer Forge, which worked until c. 1660. It took its pig iron from Blackfold and Slaugham Furnace, and from Tilgate, too. The pond bay lay just west of the Ouse bridge (). It was largely removed by the County Council in 1928 to use as 'fill' for road works, though a section of it survives.
North of Sloughgreen Lane there are still areas of the greatest charm. The woods around Beacon Hall, , have some fine old Beeches, perhaps outgrown coppice, and there's Sweet Chestnut coppice east of Mallion's Lane bordering Sloughgreen Lane's north side.
Mallion's Lane
Mallion's Lane is almost car-free, and winds downhill with colourful flowery verges on both sides. 73 herbs and grasses have been counted there and there are Orchids, Betony, and Zigzag Clover amongst much Upright Hedge Parsley, Hogweed and Knapweed. There are many damp-loving species, like Great Willowherb, Fleabane, Marsh Bedstraw, Yellow Loosestrife and False Fox Sedge. Particularly uphill, there are many woodland species that are refugees from the lost Holmsted Wood - Bluebells, Goldenrod and Wood Melic. Whitehouse Farm, , is Tudor and timber framed, and next to it is a tiny archaic farm meadow that has good displays of Spotted Orchids (2011).

Edwin Brown (28 February 1926 – 12 July 2012) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward. He played professionally for a number of clubs, but the peak of his career was spent with Birmingham City during their most successful period in the 1950s. Over a professional career of nearly 400 appearances in the Football League, he scored at a rate of very nearly one goal every two games. He was a pioneer of the goal celebration.
Early life
Brown was born in Jutland Street, Preston, Lancashire and attended St Ignatius primary school in the town. He was a religious boy, and at the age of twelve began to attend the De La Salle Catholic college on Guernsey with a view to taking Holy Orders. He studied at the college for eight years, during which time the boys were evacuated to the mainland when the Germans invaded, a disruption which did not prevent Brown achieving four A levels (in English, French, Latin and History) and laying the foundations for his lifelong love of Shakespeare.
Football career
Preston North End
However, after the war he returned to Preston and in August 1948 was persuaded to defer his calling to make use of his gift for football instead. He presented himself at Deepdale and said "I am a centre forward." Preston took him at his word and he scored a hat-trick on his debut for the "A" team which secured him a professional contract.
He joined Preston at a time when Bill Shankly was nearing the end of his Preston playing career; Brown believes his success in the game owed much to the lessons learned from Shankly in that first year:
Southampton
In 1950 Preston paid Second Division Southampton £10,000 plus the services of Brown to bring goalscorer Charlie Wayman, whose family had been unable to settle in the south, back nearer home in the north of England.
When Brown joined Southampton, he found it difficult to replace Wayman who had become a cult-hero with The Dell crowds. After his retirement, Brown admitted that "strolling around (Southampton) soon after his transfer, he wondered what he had done as everywhere he turned there were reminders of just how popular Wayman had become."
Nonetheless, Brown was able to overcome this difficult start and, helped by his pace and deadly right foot, he came close to emulating his predecessor's scoring achievements. In the 1950–51 season he scored 20 goals in 36 league games, but Southampton's defence leaked too many goals and they finished in mid-table. The following season started in similar vein, and Brown maintained his scoring ratio with 12 goals in 21 games, until injury meant his season – and his Saints career – came to an end in January 1952.
Brown had failed to settle at Southampton, despite scoring 34 goals in 59 starts while at the club, and in March 1952, having lost his place to Walter Judd, he was granted a transfer to Coventry City of the Third Division (South), where he continued to score goals at an impressive rate.
Birmingham City
In October 1954, following a run of five games without a win, Coventry sold him to Birmingham City of the Second Division for £9,000, a decision which provoked the resignation of Coventry's manager Jack Fairbrother.
Brown's career at Birmingham coincided with probably the best period in the club's history. He arrived in mid-October 1954, and in that first part-season scored 14 goals in 28 League games, including a hat-trick in a 9–1 demolition of Liverpool which remains their record defeat. His goals helped Birmingham to the 1954–55 Second Division championship.
The following season, 1955–56, they achieved their highest ever finishing position, sixth in the First Division; Brown, playing alongside Peter "Spud" Murphy and Welsh international Noel Kinsey and with Alex Govan and England international Gordon Astall on the wings, finished top scorer with 21 League goals. He scored another seven in the run which took the club to their second ever FA Cup Final, only to lose 3–1 to a Manchester City side inspired by Don Revie. This was the match best remembered for Manchester City's goalkeeper Bert Trautmann breaking a bone in his neck and still finishing the game.
In 1956–57 Brown scored 20 goals in all competitions and played in the semi-final of the FA Cup, losing to Manchester United's Busby Babes. He was also a pioneer of European competition, as part of the Birmingham side which reached the semi-final of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 1955–58, where he scored two goals in the 4–3 home leg win over Barcelona before Birmingham eventually lost out in a replay. His last full season at Birmingham, 1957–58, produced another 15 League goals.
Later career
He moved on to Second Division Leyton Orient in December 1958, where despite arriving halfway through the season he still finished joint leading scorer.
In 1961–62, Brown moved to Scarborough, then in the Northern Counties League, as player-manager; aged 36, he again was his club's top scorer. The next season, he led the club to the championship of the re-formed North Eastern League, the North Eastern League Cup, and the first round proper of the FA Cup, where they only lost by the odd goal in a replay against Crewe Alexandra. The following season, still as player-manager, he led them to runners-up spot in the Midland League.
Style and personality
The strengths of Brown's game were his pace and movement and a good right-foot finish, in his own words:
He describes himself as "eccentric". He was noted for his goal celebrations, many years before they became commonplace; his trademark celebration was to shake hands with the corner flag, though he was also known to cuddle a policeman behind the goal or to remove a press photographer's hat and throw it into the crowd. The Times report of a match in which he scored a hat-trick described him thus:
He was fond of quoting Shakespeare, whether at press conferences or in the dressing room, and while at Birmingham wrote (without a ghostwriter) a weekly column in the local paper, the Birmingham Mail.
After a reunion of the 1956 Cup Final squad, Brown was described as "the star of the show ... who could surely have made it as a stand-up comedian as well as a superb footballer".
Later life
After leaving professional football, Brown returned home to Preston and worked in the family carpet firm as a sales representative. While a Birmingham player, he had worked as a part-time teacher of games and French at a private school in nearby Wolverhampton. His ambition was to become a teacher once his playing days were over. He went on to teach games at Preston Catholic College; one of his pupils was Mark Lawrenson, future Irish international footballer and European Cup-winner with Liverpool. When it became obligatory for teachers to be qualified, Brown enrolled at Durham University at the age of 54 where he acquired his teaching certificate, armed with which he taught French until his retirement.
In his spare time he became passionately involved with a local amateur football club, Broughton Amateurs, where he was appointed first team manager in the 1978–79 season. Two years later he managed the club to a "double" of the Lancashire Amateur League Premier Division, which they won for the first time, and the Lancashire FA Amateur Cup, the first time Broughton had even reached the final. His humour, extrovert nature and managerial ability came out in his pre-Cup Final team talk:
His influence extended throughout the club, from acting as "front man" for club functions to looking after the pitches. At the age of 70 he was running the club's third team, and, as of January 2009, was still "helping out" on the committee.
Brown was married, with four children and several grandchildren. He spent the last months of his life in a Preston nursing home and died, aged 86, on 12 July 2012.

Magnús Jónsson í Tjaldanesi (1835-1922) was one of the foremost Icelandic scribes of his time.
Life
Magnús received no formal education, and spent most of his life as a farmer living on the farm Tjaldanes in Dalasýsla, for which he is named.
Copying
Magnús is known today for his extraordinary output as a scribe, copying Icelandic sagas. He is unusual, if not unique, for only copying works in this form (and not, for example, poetry or genealogies). As of 2013, 43 surviving manuscripts by Magnús had been identified, comprising 28,000 pages, or over 6 million words. Magnús appears to have begun copying in his teens, but the datable manuscripts are from the period 1874-1916 (though nine are undated and seem to be from before 1874). In total, these contain copies of 171 different sagas—the majority of which Magnús copied two to four times. Moreover, at least some (perhaps half) of Magnús's output is now lost.
The sagas that Magnús copied range across the main genres, and include all or nearly all the fornaldarsögur and medieval Icelandic chivalric sagas, along with 28 post-medieval fornaldarsögur and nearly 50 post-medieval romances; 13 translations of German chapbooks; and 10 Íslendingasögur (with other copies known to have been lost). About half of Magnús's surviving manuscripts contain prefaces indicating who he got his exemplars from, naming about 100 individuals. Although Magnús sometimes copied from printed editions, he specified when he did so that he knew the text to have circulated in manuscript form. Like other scribes in the Icelandic saga tradition, Magnús habitually altered the wording of sagas that he copied, though without changing the essentials of the plot; and at times, he seems to have written sagas from memory entirely in his own wording, and sometimes with major changes to the plot, as in his copy of Nítíða saga in Reykjavík, Lbs 1510 4to.
Influence
Perhaps twelve sagas are known solely from Magnús's copying. Magnús supplied the text for the printed edition of Skáld-Helga saga published by Sigfús Eymundsson (1837–1911) in 1897, and in 1909 the National Library of Iceland spent around half its acquisitions budget for the year on a twenty-volume set of his Fornmannasögur norðurlanda (250 krónur).
In recent years, Magnús's work has attracted growing scholarly interest.

The Edmon Low Library (ELL) is the main library of the Oklahoma State University System. It is located on the main campus of the university in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The library holds more than 3 million volumes, and offers Internet access to online users through its expanded website and web-based catalog.
Established in 1953, the Edmon Low Library is named after Edmon Low, a former university librarian who served until his retirement in 1967. Low worked with OSU President Henry G. Bennett to build a new library building, one that would become the center of the Oklahoma State University - Stillwater campus following the completion of Bennett's Twenty-Five Year Plan.
History
Though the Edmon Low Library building has only been on the campus of OSU - Stillwater since 1953, OSU has had a library since the establishment of the school in 1890. For many years the Library collection was housed in various homes and offices of the university faculty. In 1894, the Library found its first official home in Old Central. The Library shared a single room with the English department.
Seven years later, the Library was moved into a room on the first floor of the newly completed Williams Building. Its seemed spacious at the time. The Williams Building was one of the first structures on campus to have electricity, giving students the opportunity to now study in the evening. In 1921, the first building devoted solely to the Library was completed. It was simply called the Library Building and was located south of what is now Gundersen Hall.
President Henry G. Bennett came to campus in 1928 and developed his Twenty-Five Year Plan for campus development. The plan called for the campus to center around a new Library. President Bennett worked closely with then-Library Director Edmon Low to make the plans for the new Library a reality. The pair toured other university libraries and reviewed plans for the new building as it developed. Rumors state that the two were still moving markers in the middle of the night before the ground breaking in 1950.
In 1953, the Edmon Low Library, with its elegant Georgian style, opened and quickly became a focal point for campus pride.
Upon his retirement in 1967, Edmon Low was succeeded by Roscoe Rouse, Jr. as OSU librarian. Rouse brought years of experience in library administration to OSU. He is best known for bringing mechanization of library routines and information services to the Library. He is also the author of A History of the Oklahoma State University Library for the OSU Centennial History Series.
Edward R. Johnson became dean of libraries in 1987 and ushered the Library into the electronic age. One of the first milestones was the implementation of PETE, the Library's first online information system. It provided information about the Library's 1.7 million volumes and became more comprehensive with the addition of new databases. Today, the Library provides Internet access to its users through an expanded web site and the new, web-based catalog. The Library will be the first academic library in North America to use the Aquabrowser search front-end. Aquabrowser allows the user to "Search, Discover, and Refine" through advanced features such as the 'Word cloud'. The Oklahoma State University calls their Aquabrowser interface B.O.S.S, the Big Orange Search System.
Edmon Low Library is staffed by more than 200 faculty, staff and students who serve the needs of the campus community. The Edmon Low Library has six floors and currently holds over 2.5 million volumes.

Alexander Michael Hirst Aikman (9 September 1933 – 16 February 2005) was an Australian rower (an Olympic medal winner at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics) and educationalist.
Rowing
Aikman was educated at Geelong College between 1939-1951 as a 'day boy' (ie not a boarder), where he excelled academically, in sport (athletics, football, and rowing), and the performing arts (winning the Music Prize). He rowed in the First VIII boat at the 1950 Head of the River schoolboys' regatta, which boat (also notable for being coxed by future politician John Button) won the 'Loser's Final'. Aikman was Captain of Boats (ie rowing) in his final year at Geelong College, rowing in the Head of the River a second time.
Whilst a student at the University of Melbourne, Aikman rowed for Ormond College, the University's First VIII, and the Victorian King’s Cup crew (who won in 1956).
In 1956, Aikman was the bowman of the Australian boat which won the bronze medal in the eights event.
Aikman remained involved in rowing as a coach at the various schools at which he taught, as well as at Hawthorn Rowing Club (in 1960).
Aikman was a runner in the 2000 Sydney Olympics torch relay.
In 2010, Aikman was inducted as a member of the Rowing Victoria Hall of Fame.
Teaching career
Aikman completed a Bachelor of Science and later a Bachelor of Education at the University of Melbourne.
He taught sciences at Camberwell High School from 1956-1959, and chemistry at Scotch College (Melbourne) in 1960-1961, before becoming the Head of Chemistry and a boarding house master at Trinity Grammar, Sydney in 1962.
From 1966 until 1973, Aikman was headmaster at The Scots School in Bathurst, New South Wales.
In 1974, Aikman was appointed headmaster (later styled 'Principal') of Haileybury College, Melbourne. He remained at Haileybury until his retirement in 1998. During his time at Haileybury, he led a major building programme at the school's Keysborough campus (which had only been established in 1963), including the 'Great Hall', the aquatic centre, and the chapel (designed by Philip Cox, with windows and murals by Leonard French). Aikman was passionate about music and the performing arts, "mov[ing] to make music and drama central to activities at [Haileybury]" by establishing the student orchestra and concert band, expanding the drama department and promoting the school play, and instituting the biennial Tattoo (variety show), in which Aikman (who had "a fine baritone voice) himself would often perform as part of the "(in)famous" 'Chalkdusters' (a singing ensemble of Haileybury staff). Aikman was fond of the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Death and legacy
Aikman died in 2005. His funeral was held in the chapel at Haileybury, whose construction he had overseen. Acknowledging Aikman's commitment to, and promotion of, music and the performing arts, the 'Great Hall' at Haileybury was renamed the 'Aikman Hall'; similarly, there is also an 'Aikman Hall' at The Scots School, Bathurst.

The Hellingly Hospital Railway was a light railway owned and operated by East Sussex County Council, used for transporting coal and passengers to Hellingly Hospital, a psychiatric hospital near Hailsham, from the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway's Cuckoo Line at Hellingly railway station.
The railway was constructed in 1899 and opened to passengers on 20 July 1903, following its electrification in 1902. After the railway grouping of 1923, passenger numbers declined so significantly that the hospital authorities no longer considered passenger usage of the line to be economical, and that service was withdrawn in 1931. The railway closed to freight in 1959, following the hospital's decision to convert its coal boilers to oil, which rendered the railway unnecessary.
The route took a mostly direct path from a junction immediately south of Hellingly Station, past Farm and Park House Sidings, stopping places to load and unload produce and supplies from outbuildings of the hospital. Much of the railway has been converted to footpath, and many of the buildings formerly served by the line are now abandoned.
Construction and opening
In 1897, East Sussex County Council purchased of land at Park Farm, about three miles (5 km) north of Hailsham, from the Earl of Chichester, to be the site of a new county lunatic asylum that became Hellingly Hospital. Construction work on the hospital began in 1900, to the design of George Thomas Hine, who had designed the nearby Haywards Heath Asylum. Building materials were transported to the site by a mile (2 km) standard gauge private siding from the goods yard at Hellingly railway station on the Cuckoo Line. The connection was built by the asylum's builders, Joseph Howe & Company, and was authorised by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) on condition that East Sussex Council paid the cost, estimated at £1,700.
A small wooden platform was built at Hellingly railway station, opposite the main line platform. This had no connection to the station buildings and was used only for the transfer of passengers between main-line and hospital trains, and kept chained off when not in use. Coal yards and sidings were also built at Hellingly station. The hospital opened to patients, and the railway to passengers, on 20 July 1903.
Route
The railway left the Cuckoo Line at Hellingly Station. Although the railway joined the Cuckoo Line at both the northern and southern ends of the platform, virtually no through trains ran. Due to the arrangement of the lines at the junction with the Cuckoo Line, passenger trains to and from the hospital reversed south of Hellingly station.
After leaving the main line immediately south of Hellingly, the railway passed over gated level crossings at Park Road and New Road. Farm Siding, a single siding on the west of the line beyond the crossings, was a collection point for the farm's agricultural produce in the early years of the railway, but later fell out of use. The line climbed most of the way from here to the hospital at 1 in 50. About halfway between Hellingly and the hospital the line entered the hospital grounds, passing to the west of Park House Siding, which served the hospital's Park House annexe.
As it approached the hospital, the line split; the southern fork led to a siding to the north-west of the hospital, while the other turned sharply east and south through almost 180° before splitting again. One fork ran into a large workshop and the other led to a short platform, which was initially used for passengers. Following the suspension of passenger services it was converted into a coal dock.
The line had no signals or automatic points to control the switching between lines at junctions with the main line and with the sidings. On the approach to a level crossing the fireman ran ahead with a red flag, to stop the traffic; he also manually operated the points.
Motive power
Joseph Howe & Company used an 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive to transport building materials during the hospital's construction. The locomotive was purchased new in 1900, and sold in 1903 following the completion of the hospital and electrification of the line.
In 1902, the decision was taken to electrify the railway using power generated from the hospital's own power plant, the line was electrified at 500 V DC using a single overhead line. The power plant (to generate the electricity for the hospital and railway) was the creation of Messrs Spagnoletti & Co (of London). James E. Spagnoletti was the son of Charles Spagnoletti who was a consulting electrical engineer to both electric railways and the London Electric Omnibus Company. James was first employed on the railways, but created his own company building electricity generation plant. Messrs Spagnoletti had, therefore, the combination of experience to integrate power generation for the electric railway with the domestic generating capacity for the mental hospital.
The hospital was also connected to the local 11 kV electricity distribution system.
Engineers Robert W. Blackwell & Co provided a small 0-4-0 electric locomotive capable of pulling two loaded coal wagons. It is not known where the locomotive was manufactured, as the company has no record, but the design of the controls suggests that it may have been imported from Germany. A small railcar/tramcar made by Brush Engineering Company with space for 12 passengers was also provided. The locomotive and the railcar were each fitted with a single trolley pole to collect electricity from the overhead wire. The passenger car was used for the duration of passenger services on the line, and the locomotive from the electrification of the line until closure in 1959. At that time, it was the oldest operational electric locomotive in the British Isles.
Operations
At the railway grouping of 1923, the LBSCR became part of the Southern Railway and the agreements between the hospital (renamed the East Sussex Mental Hospital in 1919) and the LBSCR were updated. The wooden platform at Hellingly station was drastically shortened in 1922. Because service levels depended on patient numbers and the hospital's coal and food requirements, the line never operated to a timetable. By 1931, passenger numbers had fallen to such an extent that the hospital authorities no longer considered passenger usage of the line to be economical, and the passenger service was withdrawn. The passenger car was moved to the hospital grounds, fitted with an awning, and became the hospital's sports pavilion. surviving into the mid-1990s before being destroyed in a fire started by vandals. The wooden platform at Hellingly station was removed in 1932, and the platform at the hospital was converted into a coal bay.
There were only two minor accidents: a car that collided with the locomotive whilst driving through the hospital grounds, and a wagon whose brakes failed whilst stabled at Farm Siding, which rolled down the line to Hellingly station.
On 22 November 1939, plans were put in place for the restoration of passenger services to allow ambulance trains to reach the hospital, and authorisation was given for their operation. However, the line was never used to transport patients, as although Park House was used as a hospital by the Canadian Army during the Second World War, patients left ambulance trains at Hellingly station and were transferred to Park House by road.
Closure
In the late 1950s, the hospital, under the control of the Hailsham Hospitals Management Committee since the 1948 establishment of the National Health Service, decided to convert its boilers from coal to oil. The railway was therefore no longer needed to transport coal; the last load was delivered on 10 March 1959, and the empty coal wagon returned to Hellingly on 25 March 1959.
Under the terms of the agreement between the hospital authorities, the LBSCR, and its successors, the hospital authorities were obliged to keep the railway in good repair to allow its use by main-line wagons. With a greatly reduced need for goods traffic to the hospital following the conversion of the boilers, it was decided that the railway was not worth the expense of continued maintenance and necessary upgrading, and the line was officially closed on 25 March 1959 following the departure of the last coal wagon.
The line was used for occasional excursions by railway enthusiasts for a short period after official closure, using the electric locomotive and a brake van borrowed from British Railways. The exact date of the last run is not recorded; the last recorded use of the line was an excursion organised by the Norbury Transport and Model Railway Club on 4 April 1959, but it is known that later excursions ran. In the early 1960s a railway society in Yorkshire proposed to buy the track as a preserved railway. However, as the psychiatric hospital was still open the request was not considered practical, and the track was lifted in the early 1960s. The fittings and locomotive were disposed of by H.Ripley and Sons of Hailsham.
Present day
The Cuckoo Line closed shortly after the Hospital Railway. Hellingly station closed to passengers on 14 June 1965, and the line closed for goods traffic on 26 April 1968. The station building complete with platform is now a private residence, and the Cuckoo Line trackbed was converted to the Cuckoo Trail long-distance footpath in 1990. Much of the route of the Hospital Railway is also now a footpath.
Traces of the railway can still be seen, including a cast iron pole that supported the overhead wire, the remains of the engine shed (burnt down in 2004), and a short section of track. Hellingly Hospital is now closed Approval for redevelopment as a housing complex was obtained in 2009.

The Unity Ranger Station is a United States Forest Service compound consisting of five buildings and a lookout tower in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest of northeastern Oregon. It was previously the administrative headquarters for the Unity Ranger District. It is located in the small unincorporated community of Unity, Oregon. The historic structures were built in the rustic style by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1936 and 1938. Today, the ranger station is only used during the summer months to house Forest Service fire crews. The ranger station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
History
In the early 20th century, the forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working in remote areas of the forest. After World War II, the Forest Service greatly expanded its road network, allowing employees to get to most forest areas within a few hours. As a result, many of the more isolated ranger stations were closed or converted to summer guard stations.
The Whitman National Forest was established in 1908. The Unity Ranger District was an administrative subdivision of the Whitman National Forest, with responsibility for of forest land in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. After the Forest Service reorganization in 1954, the Unity Ranger District became part of the much larger Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
The Civilian Conservation Corps began doing construction work at the ranger station in 1936. Between 1936 and 1938, Civilian Conservation Corps crews built a number of ranger station buildings. The construction crews worked under the supervision of Forest Service rangers. All of the buildings constructed during that period were designed by the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Regional Architecture Group, and were built in the Cascadian rustic style.
In 1953, two buildings were moved to the ranger station from the John Day Experiment Station, a Forest Service research site on the Blue Mountains. This gave the ranger station a second ranger residence and a bunkhouse. Both of the buildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under the supervision of Forest Service rangers at about the same time as the original ranger station structures. The two experiment station buildings have the same architectural characteristics as the original ranger station structures and were built using the same materials and methods.
The Unity Ranger Station served as a district headquarters until 2002, when the Unity district and two other ranger districts were merged and the headquarters was moved to Baker City, Oregon. However, a full-time visitor center remained open at the site until 2009. Today, the Unity Ranger Station is only open during the summer months, when the facilities are used to house Forest Service fire fighters.
There are six historically important structures that make up the ranger station complex. The historic buildings are all in excellent condition and are still used by Forest Service employees during the summer fire season. Because the Unity Ranger Station is of unique historic value as an early Forest Service ranger station, the compound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 11 April 1986. All of the historic buildings are located in close proximity to one another so the historic district covers just .
Structures
With six historic structures, the Unity Ranger Station is a classic Forest Service range station. All of the historic buildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1936 and 1938. Their work included two ranger residences, a bunkhouse, an equipment warehouse, a garage, and a fire lookout tower. The buildings were constructed in the Cascadian rustic architectural style using a wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation with clapboard, wood shingles, native lava stone, and concrete as the principal building materials. Many of the gables and shutters have the "open pine tree" logo common to Forest Service structures built during the 1930s.
The first ranger residence (building #1051) was built at the ranger station by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It is an L-shaped, one-story wood-frame building on a concrete foundation. It has a gabled roof with a hip extension on the east end. There are decorative pine tree logo cut outs on the north and west gable ends. The building's exterior is covered with clapboard except the gable ends which have vertical board and batten siding. There is a red lava stone chimney on the west side of the building. The roof extends out past the walls to cover porches on the north and east sides of the building. The porch roofs are supported by square timber posts. The residence has a combination of six-over-six double-hung sash windows and four-over-four double-hung sash windows. There have been no significant alterations to the exterior structure of the building.
Near residence #1051, there is a small rectangular residential garage. It is a one-story wood-frame building on a poured concrete foundation. It has a gabled roof covered with wood shingles. The garage has horizontal lapped siding with vertical board and batten at the gable ends. An overhead-lift type vehicle-entry door is located on the west side of the building. There is also a regular entry door on the north. The garage's exterior siding was replaced in 1983 using the same kind of material as the original.
The Unity Ranger Station equipment warehouse is a wood-frame structure, built at the site by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The foundation is concrete with a stone veneer. It has a wood-shingled gabled roof with a large projecting gable that gives the building an L-shape. There is a vehicle entrance below the projecting gable. There is a red lava stone chimney off-center on the south roof slope. The main roof extends out on the north side of the building to cover the porch. The porch roof is supported by square timber posts. The exterior siding is horizontal clapboard with vertical board and batten siding at the gable ends. Windows are the single-sash type. There is a decorative pine tree logo cut out just below the peak on the projecting gable.
A second residence (building #1052) was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at the John Day Experiment Station sometime between 1936 and 1938. It was moved to the ranger station in 1953. It is an L-shaped, -story wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation. It has a high gabled roof with larger gabled dormers on the south side (rear) of the structure. There is a large offset gable on the northeast corner and shed-type roof over the front porch which is located on the north side of the building. The porch roof is supported by round peeled-log posts. There is a brick chimney on the south side of the house and a concrete chimney on the north side. The exterior siding is horizontal clapboard with wooden corner trim and vertical board and batten siding at the gable ends. The residence has six-over-six double-hung sash windows. There are decorative pine tree logo cut outs just below the peak on the north, east, and west gable ends of the building.
Like residence #1052, the bunkhouse was originally constructed at the John Day Experiment Station in the mid-1930s, and moved to the ranger station in 1953. The bunkhouse is a -story, rectangular building. It has a wood-frame, concrete foundation, and a high gabled roof with wooden-shingles. It has two large gable dormers on the front roof slope. There are also two cement chimneys that straddle the roof ridge. The exterior siding is horizontal clapboard with vertical board and batten siding at the gable ends. The bunkhouse has six-over-six double-hung sash windows. There are decorative pine tree logo cut outs just below the peak on the east and west gable ends of the building and at the crest of the two dormers.
The Unity Ranger Station has a combined fire lookout and water tower located on the compound. The high, wooden tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938. The tower has a by cab mounted on a square deck with a catwalk enclosed by simple wooden railing. The windows have top-hinged, wooden shutters that help shade the cab when open. The tower is built with creosote treated Douglas-fir timbers. There is a wooden stairway leading up to the cab. There is a wooden water tank located just below the cab. The tower structure has never been modified so it remains true to its original design.
Location
The Unity Ranger Station is located in the small unincorporated community of Unity, Oregon. Unity is in southwestern corner of Baker County, Oregon surrounded by the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Today, the historic ranger station is part of the Whitman Ranger District. The area of the Whitman Ranger District that used to be administered from the Unity Ranger Station is the southern part of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The elevation at the ranger station is above sea level. The forest around the ranger station is dominated by large stands of Ponderosa pine.
Unity is southwest of Baker City on Oregon Route 245. John Day, Oregon, is west of Unity on U.S. Highway 26. Vale, Oregon, is southeast of Unity on U.S. 26. The historic Unity Ranger Station compound is on the south side of Main Street (U.S. 26) near the center of the Unity town site.

Lawson Tower is a historic tower built in the style of a European castle turret. It is located off First Parish Road in Scituate Center, Massachusetts, United States. Built in 1902 to enclose a steel water tank, it is a major local landmark. The Scituate Water Company stopped using the tank in 1988. The tower is listed as both an American Water Landmark and in the National Register of Historic Places. It has become a popular tourist site, featuring sweeping views of the South Shore, Old Scituate Light, Minot's Ledge Light and the nearby First Trinitarian Congregational Church.
Description and history
The tower is a steel frame structure standing in height, its tank and steel superstructure enclosed in a stylistically eclectic wooden shell. It is shingled to the top of the enclosed tank, where there is a band of bracketing. Above this are two circular chambers, one to house bells and the other a clock. The tower is covered by a conical roof.
The steel water tank was built in 1900 by the Scituate Water Company, the local municipal water supplier. At the same time, Thomas W. Lawson, a wealthy Boston businessman, was building his "Dreamwold" estate next door. Upset by the view of the utilitarian tank, Lawson negotiated with the company to enclose it. Lawson commissioned the Meneely Bell Foundry of West Troy, New York, to install ten bells at the top of the tower. These bells range in size from three hundred to three thousand pounds. This chime system was originally designed to be played either from the bell room eighty feet above the ground or on the console of the clavier room.
The tower is equipped with an internal sprinkler system, after a similar wooden water tower in East Boston was destroyed by fire in the early 1900s.

Slovaks in Hungary (, or magyarországi tótok) are the fourth largest minority in Hungary, after Romas, Germans and Romanians. According to the Microcensus in 2016, 29,794 Slovaks live in the country. The number of people who can speak the Slovak language is 56,107, but this also includes ethnic Hungarians from Slovakia. According to the estimates of minority organisations, the number of people with Slovak ancestry might be as high as 100,000-110,000. Hence, the estimated population of Slovaks in Hungary ranges from 0.18% to 1.1% of the total population, depending on the criteria.
History
Early Middle Ages
The presence of the Slovak ethnicity in the territory of present-day Hungary dates back to the Middle Ages. In the 9th-10th century, the Slavic-populated territories were part of the Great Moravia. Subsequently, in the 9th century these areas were included into the Principality of Hungary out of which the Kingdom of Hungary emerged in AD 1000.
Renaissance
In the 16th century, after the Battle of Mohács during the Turkish wars, the Kingdom of Hungary was split into three parts and the Slovak-populated regions mostly became part of the Habsburg controlled Royal Hungary. After the Ottomans were defeated in the end of the 17th century, all Slovak-populated areas were included into the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary. At that time, Slovaks mainly lived in the northern parts of the country, often referred to as Upper Hungary (today mostly Slovakia).
Age of Enlightenment
In the 18th and 19th century, some Slovak migrants started to settle in other counties (in the northern parts of present-day Hungary) and developed strong mutual language contact with the Hungarians and later also settled in the some southern regions. Following a period of Slovak demand for autonomy within Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary, conflicts between Slovaks and Hungarians arose.
After the Treaty of Trianon
According to the Treaty of Trianon from 1920, most of the Slovak-speaking territories of the pre-war Kingdom of Hungary were recognized as part of Czechoslovakia. Some Slovaks, however, remained within the borders of post-Trianon Hungary. According to Austro-Hungarian data from 1900 there was 192,200 Slovaks in the territory of present-day Hungary (2.8% of total population). According to the Hungarian census, 141,882 people spoke Slovak in 1920.
After World War II
The Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange that took place after 1920 was repeated after World War II when about 73,000 Slovaks resettled from Hungary to Slovakia.

The 2m Bubble Chamber was a device used in conjunction with CERN’s 25 GeV Proton Synchrotron (PS) machine to study high-energy physics. It was decided to build this chamber in 1958 with a large team of physicists, engineers, technicians and designers led by . This project was of considerable magnitude, thus requiring a long-term plan so that all its characteristics could be carefully studied. Several models of this chamber were built and the problems encountered surpassed any of its predecessors. The construction only began three years later and in 1964 the chamber was finally commissioned. This chamber was devoted to the study of interaction mechanisms of high-energy particles and the investigation of the properties of their excited states.
The bubble chamber was filled with 1150 litres of liquid hydrogen and was expanded by a piston placed at the top. The chamber had vertical windows, a magnet made up of copper coils which generated a field of 1.7 T and the whole apparatus weighted more than 700 tons. The expansion system of the 2 m bubble chamber allowed for multiple expansions during one PS pulse, which resulted in three event photos per beam pulse.
A 10 GeV/c K- beam was required to produce the Ω− suggested by Murray Gell-Mann on his SU(3) theory. Hence, in 1965 a RF separated beam was added in order to obtain a separated K− and K+ at higher energies than with electrostatic separators. Furthermore, these beams enabled the study of hyperon resonances of strangeness -1 and -2. The most thorough effort in the field was a massive exposure of the chamber to K− at 4.2 GeV/c. Experiments with antiprotons at 1.2 GeV/c, 5 GeV/c and at rest were conducted to investigate the formation of hyperon-antihyperon pairs and 8GeV/c π+ experiments to study mechanism of two-body production. The 2 m bubble chamber was also used to study weak interactions and K0 decays since it allowed the determination of the K0 trajectory independently of its decay over a distance corresponding to various K lifetimes.
The experiments were performed with a variety of beams, namely K+ (1.2-16 GeV/c), K− (2.8-16 GeV/c), p (12-24 GeV/c), anti-p (1.5-12 GeV/c) and π± (4-16 GeV/c). The ones carried out in the 2 m bubble chamber with hydrogen liquid filling were: T40, T41, T55, T64, T80, T82, T87, T88, T99, T106, T107, T108, T109, T112, T113, T115, T116, T117, T118, T129, T130, T131, T139, T140, T141, T143, T144, T145, T148, T150, T153, T155, T158, T159, T164, T168, T172, T173, T177, T178, T180, T181, T184, T186, T187, T196, T197, T198, T200, T201, T203, T204, T208, T209, T214, T215, T216, T218, T220, T221, T226, T227, T232, T233, T236, T237 and T239; and with deuterium: T52, T68, T97, T104, T105, T128, T152, T157, T162, T169, T174, T179, T182, T183, T188, T194, T195, T202, T210, T211, T217, T246 and T247.
The 2m bubble chamber was very reliable, accurate and extremely productive. In the twelve years of operation, until 1976, it took nearly 40 million pictures of which about 7 million were with deuterium filling and the rest with hydrogen, resulting in a total of 20,000 km of film. The photographs were analysed by more than 50 European laboratories and led to 600 publications. For the first time, these photographs were globally distributed as well as the programs required to analyse them. People from all around the world were able to contribute and be part of the experiments conducted at CERN. After its closure, the 2 m bubble chamber was donated to the Deutsche Museum in Munich.

"Désolé" (English: "Sorry") is a song by Sexion d'Assaut released on 12 April 2010, from the album L'École des points vitaux.
The single reached number one on the SNEP and became a top-ten hit in France and then the song stayed number one for seven weeks from 2 May to 13 June. Désolé is a gold single.
Background and writing
Gims, as usual, had several melodies on his cell phone. Among other things, he had that of Désolé. He played it for the composer of the group Wisla, then played it on the piano. He keeps the instrumental, telling himself that he would put it on a mixtape and add shots to it from behind. He played the instrumental to Black M, Barack Adama and Dawala.
Black M called Gims crazy and came up with an idea to improve the product. He wanted Lefa, Gims, Black M and Barack Adama to each pose an 8 bar verse that would be separated from each other by the chorus. This piece created a little controversy following the sentence "When I see what this land of kouffar has done to you".
Désolé was a great success and the object of parodies like that of Les Guignols on 22 May 2012, the one on Raymond Domenech in NRJ's Le 6/9, or the parody of Kevin Razy with the "Sexion d'homo".
Chart performance
The song has been a huge hit in France since its release on 12 April 2010 especially since it's a song from the album L'École des points vitaux which was released on 29 March 2010.
The song reached number one on the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique and became a top-ten hit in France, where it reached number five on the Ultratop in Belgium, in France the son became the number one in digital singles category with 4,520 sales in 18 April, and then the song stayed number one for seven weeks from 2 May to 13 June. It has also achieved success in many African countries Because of the huge popularity of the group. In November 2010, the album L'École des points vitaux was certified triple platinum in France. It has sold nearly 400,000 copies. It is Maître Gims who signs most of the instrumentals on this CD. It achieved peak sales in the 14th week of the year 2010 with 2,720 copies sold in one week. The total number of sales reached 271,975 copies.
Music video
The clip tells several stories. A young man is distressed by his parents (the mother is played by the actress nominated for César Awards, Isabelle Renauld) who are constantly arguing, so he decides to run away. Gims sings his verse behind the young man and the chorus. Barack Adama attends during his verse the search of a thug (IDR) who is embarked in front of his parents.
Lefa is alongside the father of the young man who runs away. They are looking for the young. The latter meets a friend and they go to the studio. Black M puts down his verse and the friend of the young man who runs away receives a call from his mother who tells him that his sister is in the hospital. But this friend does not answer because he is busy. When he realizes this, he runs to the hospital with the runaway youth, who then understands the importance of his parents and returns home saying "Désolé".

"Telegram Sam" is a song written by Marc Bolan for the British rock group T. Rex, appearing on their 1972 album The Slider. The song was their third UK number one single, remaining at the top of the charts for two weeks before being knocked off the top by "Son of My Father" by Chicory Tip.
The lyrics feature numerous figures such as Bobby (who is a natural born poet who is just outta sight), Golden Nose Slim (knows where you been), Jungle Faced Jake (about whom no mistake must be made) and Purple Pie Pete (whose lips are like lightning and are capable of generating a heat power sufficient to liquefy females). Despite their charms, the singer expresses his loyalty to his "main man", the titular Sam. It also contains these lines Marc Bolan wrote to refer to himself: Me I funk/but I don't care/I ain't no square/with my corkscrew hair, a line which industrial rock band KMFDM would borrow for their song "Me I Funk". The riff is similar in character to their massive hit from the previous year, "Get It On" but in the key of A rather than E. "Telegram Sam" was not as successful as "Get It On" worldwide, and it only peaked at number 67 in the Billboard Hot 100. Eventually, this was the band's last single charted in the US.
"Telegram Sam" was the first single to be issued by Marc Bolan's own T.Rex Wax Co. label, and was released on 21 January 1972. The b-side featured two songs in the UK, "Cadilac" (as printed on the EMI label of the original single) and "Baby Strange", the latter also included in the album The Slider.
"Telegram Sam" was written by Bolan about his manager Tony Secunda (Telegram Sam = Tony Secunda) who was his 'main man' in respect of him being Bolan's manager and narcotics supplier.
The single was recorded at the Rosenberg Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark in November 1971.
In 1980, it was covered by the gothic rock band Bauhaus as a single, which peaked at number 12 in New Zealand. It was also covered by the Croatian punk-rock band Psihomodo Pop.

During the 1960s, they worked on many projects installing water and sewer lines in the Niagara Region. In 1972, Alfredo and his brothers founded Metrus Developments Inc., and Metrus Properties Limited. The 1970s brought the development of the community of Erin Mills in the new City of Mississauga, and Condrain was selected by Cadillac Developments Ltd. to service their subdivisions. In 1983, Con-Drain construction became Condrain Company. Over the following decades, the companies founded by Alfredo continued to grow in size; his family-owned construction conglomerate, one of Canada's largest, employs 4,500 and grosses in the range of $1 billion a year.
In 2004, Alfredo and his son Jim bought Vineland Estates Winery.
Philanthropy
In 2009, Alfredo De Gasperis received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 29th annual Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) awards, for his impact as a contractor, developer, builder, and philanthropist. The BILD awards celebrate the best in design, construction, sales, and marketing in the building and development industry of the Greater Toronto Area. Alfredo De Gasperis was inducted into the Italian Walk of Fame in 2011, which pays tribute to achievements of Italians.
De Gasperis devoted much of his time to many different charities and organizations. In 2004, Alfredo and his brothers Antonio and Angelo donated $7 million to the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation. The DeGasperis Conservatory was established in the Toronto General Hospital's Peter Munk Cardiac Centre.
In the early 1970s, he was part of a group of Italian-Canadians who helped create an organization to assist seniors while preserving Italian culture and customs - North York's Villa Colombo. He also served as vice-chair of the Villa Charities Foundation board.
Personal life
Alfredo De Gasperis died on March 27, 2013, at the age of 79. He was married to Teresa DiCarlo. They have three children, Jim, Carla and Fred Jr. De Gasperis.

Golden rice is a variety of rice (Oryza sativa) produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of the rice. It is intended to produce a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia, a range of eye conditions from night blindness to more severe clinical outcomes such as keratomalacia and corneal scars, and permanent blindness. Additionally, vitamin A deficiency also increases risk of mortality from measles and diarrhea in children. In 2013, the prevalence of deficiency was the highest in sub-Saharan Africa (48%; 25–75), and South Asia (44%; 13–79).
Although golden rice has met significant opposition from environmental and anti-globalisation activists, more than 100 Nobel laureates in 2016 encouraged use of genetically modified golden rice which can produce up to 23 times as much beta-carotene as the original golden rice.
History
Research for development of golden rice began as a Rockefeller Foundation initiative in 1982.
In the 1990s, Peter Bramley discovered that a single phytoene desaturase gene (bacterial CrtI) can be used to produce lycopene from phytoene in GM tomato, rather than having to introduce multiple carotene desaturases that are normally used by higher plants. Lycopene is then cyclized to beta-carotene by the endogenous cyclase in golden rice. The scientific details of the rice were first published in 2000, the product of an eight-year project by Ingo Potrykus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Peter Beyer of the University of Freiburg.
The first field trials of golden rice cultivars were conducted by Louisiana State University Agricultural Center in 2004. Additional trials were conducted in the Philippines, Taiwan, and in Bangladesh (2015). Field testing provided an accurate measurement of nutritional value and enabled feeding tests to be performed. Preliminary results from field tests showed field-grown golden rice produces 4 to 5 times more beta-carotene than golden rice grown under greenhouse conditions.
Crossbreeding
As of 2018, breeders at the Philippine Rice Research Institute, the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, and the Indonesian Centre for Rice Research were developing golden rice versions of existing rice varieties used with their local farmers, retaining the same yield, pest resistance, and grain qualities. Golden rice seeds may cost farmers the same as other rice varieties.
Approvals
In 2018, Canada and the United States approved golden rice, with Health Canada and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declaring it safe for consumption. This followed a 2016 decision where the FDA had ruled that the beta-carotene content in golden rice did not provide sufficient amounts of vitamin A for US markets. Health Canada declared that golden rice would not affect allergies, and that the nutrient contents were the same as in common rice varieties, except for the intended high levels of provitamin A.
In 2019, golden rice was approved for use as human food and animal feed or for processing in the Philippines. On 21 July 2021, the Philippines became the first country to officially issue the biosafety permit for commercially propagating vitamin A-infused golden rice. The approval came as the first commercial propagation authorisation of genetically engineered rice in South and Southeast Asia. As a result of the permission, golden rice can be grown on a commercial scale in accordance with the terms and conditions specified by the Philippines government. In April 2023, however, the country's Supreme Court ordered the agriculture department to stop commercial propagation of golden rice in relation to a petition filed by MASIPAG (a group of farmers and scientists), who claimed that golden rice poses risk to the health of consumers and to the environment.
Genetics
Golden rice was created by transforming rice with two beta-carotene biosynthesis genes:
psy (phytoene synthase) from daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus)
crtI (phytoene desaturase) from the soil bacterium Erwinia uredovora
(The insertion of a lcy (lycopene cyclase) gene was thought to be needed, but further research showed it is already produced in wild-type rice endosperm.)
The psy and crtI genes were transferred into the rice nuclear genome and placed under the control of an endosperm-specific promoter, so that they are only expressed in the endosperm. The exogenous lcy gene has a transit peptide sequence attached, so it is targeted to the plastid, where geranylgeranyl diphosphate is formed. The bacterial crtI gene was an important inclusion to complete the pathway, since it can catalyse multiple steps in the synthesis of carotenoids up to lycopene, while these steps require more than one enzyme in plants. The end product of the engineered pathway is lycopene, but if the plant accumulated lycopene, the rice would be red. Recent analysis has shown the plant's endogenous enzymes process the lycopene to beta-carotene in the endosperm, giving the rice the distinctive yellow colour for which it is named. The original golden rice was called SGR1, and under greenhouse conditions it produced 1.6 µg/g of carotenoids.
Golden Rice 2
In 2005, a team of researchers at Syngenta produced Golden Rice 2. They combined the phytoene synthase (psy) gene from maize with crtl gene from the original golden rice. Golden Rice 2 produces 23 times more carotenoids than golden rice (up to 37 µg/g) because psy gene of maize is the most effective gene for carotenoid synthesis, and preferentially accumulates beta-carotene (up to 31 µg/g of the 37 µg/g of carotenoids).
Vitamin A deficiency
The research that led to golden rice was conducted with the goal of helping children who suffer from vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Estimates show that around 1.02 billion people are severely affected by micronutrient deficiencies globally, with vitamin A to be the most deficient nutrient in the body. In 2012, the World Health Organization reported that about 250 million preschool children are affected by VAD, and that providing those children with vitamin A could prevent about a third of all under-five deaths, which amounts to up to 2.7 million children that could be saved from dying unnecessarily. The World Health Organization has classified vitamin A deficiency as a public health problem affecting about one third of children aged 6 to 59 months in 2013, with the highest rates in sub-Saharan Africa (48 per cent) and South Asia (44 per cent).
VAS programs began in the 1990s in response to evidence demonstrating the association between VAD and increased childhood mortality. Between 1990 and 2013, more than 40 efficacy studies of VAS in children 6–59 months of age were conducted, and two systematic reviews and meta-analyses have concluded that VA supplements can considerably reduce mortality and morbidity during childhood. As of 2017, more than 80 countries worldwide are implementing universal VA supplementation (VAS) programs targeted to children 6–59 months of age through semi-annual national campaigns. Periodic, high-dose vitamin A supplementation is a proven, low-cost intervention which has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality by 12 to 24 per cent, and is therefore an important program in support of efforts to reduce child mortality. However, UNICEF and a number of NGOs involved in supplementation note more frequent low-dose supplementation is preferable.
As many children in VAD-affected countries rely on rice as a staple food, genetic modification to make rice produce the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene was seen as a simple and less expensive alternative to ongoing vitamin supplements or an increase in the consumption of green vegetables or animal products. Initial analyses of the potential nutritional benefits of golden rice suggested consumption of golden rice would not eliminate the problems of vitamin A deficiency, but could complement other supplementation. Golden Rice 2 contains sufficient provitamin A to provide the entire dietary requirement via daily consumption of some per day.
Vitamin A deficiency is usually coupled to an unbalanced diet. Since carotenes are hydrophobic, sufficient fat must be present in the diet for golden rice (or most other vitamin A supplements) to alleviate vitamin A deficiency. Moreover, this claim referred to an early cultivar of golden rice; one bowl of the latest version provides 60% of RDA for healthy children. The RDA levels advocated in developed countries are far in excess of the amounts needed to prevent blindness.
Research
In 2009, results of a clinical trial of golden rice with adult volunteers concluded that "beta-carotene derived from golden rice is effectively converted to vitamin A in humans". A summary for the American Society for Nutrition suggested that "Golden Rice could probably supply 50% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin A from a very modest amountperhaps a cupof rice, if consumed daily. This amount is well within the consumption habits of most young children and their mothers." Beta-carotene is found and consumed in many nutritious foods eaten around the world, including fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene in food is a safe source of vitamin A.
A 2012 study showed that the beta-carotene produced by golden rice is as effective as beta-carotene in oil at providing vitamin A to children. The study stated that "recruitment processes and protocol were approved". However, in 2015, the journal retracted the study, claiming that the researchers had acted unethically when providing Chinese children golden rice without their parents' consent.
Golden rice improves vitamin A intake and may reduce vitamin A deficiency among women and children. Food derived from golden rice varieties is as safe as food derived from conventional rice varieties.
Controversy
Critics of genetically engineered crops have raised various concerns. An early issue was that golden rice originally did not have sufficient beta-carotene content. This problem was solved by the advancing of GR2E event. The speed at which beta-carotene degrades once the rice is harvested, and how much remains after cooking are contested. However, a 2009 study concluded that beta-carotene from golden rice is effectively converted into vitamin A in humans.
Greenpeace opposes the use of any patented genetically modified organisms in agriculture and opposes the cultivation of golden rice, claiming it will open the door to more widespread use of GMOs. The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) has emphasised the non-commercial nature of their project, stating that "None of the companies listed ... are involved in carrying out the research and development activities of IRRI or its partners in Golden Rice, and none of them will receive any royalty or payment from the marketing or selling of golden rice varieties developed by IRRI."
Vandana Shiva, an Indian anti-GMO activist, argued the problem was not the plant per se, but potential issues with loss of biodiversity. Shiva argued that golden rice proponents were obscuring the limited availability of diverse and nutritionally adequate food. Other groups argued that a varied diet containing foods rich in beta-carotene such as sweet potato, leaf vegetables and fruit would provide children with sufficient vitamin A. However, Keith West of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has said that foodstuffs containing vitamin A are often unavailable, only available in certain seasons, or are too expensive for poor families to obtain.
In 2008, WHO malnutrition expert Francesco Branca cited the lack of real-world studies and uncertainty about how many people will use golden rice, concluding "giving out supplements, fortifying existing foods with vitamin A, and teaching people to grow carrots or certain leafy vegetables are, for now, more promising ways to fight the problem". Author Michael Pollan, who had criticized the product in 2001, being unimpressed by the benefits, expressed support for the continuation of the research in 2013.
In 2012, controversy surrounded a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The study, involving feeding GM rice to children from 6 to 8 years old in China, was later found to have violated human research rules of both Tufts University and the federal government. Subsequent reviews found no evidence of safety problems with the study, but found issues with insufficient consent forms, unapproved changes to study protocol, and lack of approval from a China-based ethics review board. Additionally, the GM rice used was brought into China illegally.
Support
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports the use of genetically modified organisms in agricultural development and supports the International Rice Research Institute in developing golden rice. In June 2016, 107 Nobel laureates signed a letter urging Greenpeace and its supporters to abandon their campaign against GMOs, and against golden rice in particular.
In May 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of golden rice for human consumption, stating: "Based on the information IRRI has presented to FDA, we have no further questions concerning human or animal food derived from GR2E rice at this time." This marks the fourth national health organisation to approve the use of golden rice in 2018, joining Australia, Canada and New Zealand who issued their assessments earlier in the year.
In December 2021, an opinion piece in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America called on regulators to "allow Golden Rice to save lives", which the authors say has been delayed due to "fear and false accusations", leading to estimated 266,000 lives lost per year due to vitamin A deficiency.
Protests
On August 8, 2013, an experimental plot of golden rice being developed by IRRI and DA-PhilRice in Camarines Sur province of the Philippines was uprooted by protesters. British author Mark Lynas reported in Slate that the vandalism was carried out by a group of activists led by Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) (literally 'Farmers' Movement of the Philippines').
Distribution
A recommendation was made that golden rice be distributed free to subsistence farmers. Free licenses for developing countries were granted quickly due to the positive publicity that golden rice received, particularly in Time magazine in July 2000. Monsanto Company was one of the companies to grant free licences for related patents owned by the company. The cutoff between humanitarian and commercial use was set at US$10,000. Therefore, as long as a farmer or subsequent user of golden rice genetics would not make more than $10,000 per year, no royalties would need to be paid. In addition, farmers would be permitted to keep and replant seed.

Hiram's Highway () is a road in Hong Kong connecting the town of Sai Kung to the Clear Water Bay Road at Ta Ku Ling. It also connects with Po Tung Road in the north. Unlike other roads in Hong Kong with the word "Highway" as part of their names, the Hiram's Highway is not an expressway.
The road's Chinese name literally means "Sai Kung Highway". It earned its English name from the officer in charge of the Royal Marines who upgraded a Japanese track in the immediate post Second World War years. Major John Wynne-Potts CBE was nicknamed Hiram because he shared the name "Potts" with the "Hiram K. Potts" American brand of tinned sausages. An embellishment of the story suggests he was "addicted" to the sausages.
Japanese prisoners of war were deployed in the road's construction. It was considered a reward to the people of Sai Kung for their resistance during the occupation.
A new straightened road, the New Hiram's Highway, near Nam Wai was opened in 2002 to provide an alternative route, bypassing a steep, twisty section of the original road.

Harry Dan Leigh Viener, CBE, UCd'I (26 December 1868 – 7 May 1947) was an eminent Anglican Chaplain in the first half of the 20th century. In 1918, he joined the fledgling Royal Air Force Chaplains Branch as its first Chaplain-in-Chief.
Early life and education
Viener was born on 26 December 1868 in Blackpool, England, and initially lived at The White House, the family home, in nearby Poulton-le-Fylde. He was educated at Malvern College, then an all-boys public school in Malvern, Worcestershire. He studied at St John's College, Oxford. In 1890, he was awarded a Casberd exhibition.
On 5 October 1882, he was commissioned into the 1st (Oxford University) Volunteer Battalion, Oxfordshire Light Infantry, as a second lieutenant; nicknamed the Oxford University Volunteers, this battalion was the precursor to the Oxford University Officers' Training Corps. He resigned his commission on 25 March 1893. From 1892 to 1899, he was a schoolmaster and private tutor.
Ordained ministry
Viener was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1899 and as a priest in 1900. He served his curacy at St Peter's Church, Walsall, in the Diocese of Lichfield.
On 12 November 1901, Viener was commissioned as a chaplain of the Royal Navy Chaplaincy Service (RNCS). The RNCS does not give ranks to its chaplain and so while he served with the Royal Navy, Viener simply held the appointment Chaplain.
On 11 October 1918, he joined the fledgling Royal Air Force Chaplains Branch as its Chaplain-in-Chief and was granted the relative rank of brigadier-general. In 1920, he was granted the relative rank of air commodore. He retired from the military on 25 October 1926, and was succeeded as Chaplain-in-Chief by Robert Hanson.
After serving 25 years as a military chaplain, he returned to civilian ministry. From 1927 to 1934, he was Rector of St Nicholas' Church, Chawton, in the Diocese of Winchester. He retired from full-time ministry in 1934.
Later life
Viener died on 7 May 1947.
Personal life
In 1925, Viener married Violet Margaret Keatch.
Honours
Following the 1908 Messina earthquake, Viener was appointed an Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy "in recognition of valuable services rendered by them at the time of the earthquake in Southern Italy in the year 1908". On 10 October 1919, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) "in recognition of distinguished services rendered during the War". During his time as Chaplain in Chief, he was appointed an Honorary Chaplain to the King (KHC).

Princess Crescentia of Oëttingen-Wallerstein born Maria Crescentia Bourgin (3 May 1806 – 22 June 1853) is a German noblewoman who married Prince Louis of Oettingen-Wallerstein. She appeared in the Gallery of Beauties gathered by King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1836.
Life
Crescentia Bourgin was born in Füssen on May 3, 1806, the daughter of the court gardener Nicolas Bourgin from Burgundy, France. The winery owner and royalist Bourgin was given the position of court gardener in the Principality of Oettingen-Wallerstein and lived in Baldern Castle.
On July 7, 1823, Crescentia Bourgin married the family's eldest son, Prince Louis Ernest Carl von Oettingen-Oettingen and Wallerstein (1791–1870). The couple had two daughters:
Princess Caroline Antoinette Wilhelmine Friederike und Oettingen-Wallerstein (1824–1883), who married Count Hugo Philipp Waldbott von Bassenheim (1820–1895).
Princess Theresia Wilhelmine Frederike Creszentia und Oettingen-Wallerstein (1827–1833), who died young.
In 1802, Prince Louis of Oettingen – initially under the guardianship of his mother, Duchess Wilhelmine Friederike of Württemberg (1764–1817) – followed his father in the government of the small principality, which was mediatized in 1806. He had a close friendship with the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig, later King Ludwig I. Prince Louis temporarily lost his position as Bavarian chief steward because of the inappropriate marriage, and within the family he had to renounce his birthrights. Nevertheless, he not only managed to regain his crown office after Ludwig I came to power, his political career brought him, among other things, the office of Bavarian Ministry of the Interior in 1831, and in 1846/47 he was Bavarian envoy in Paris.
Princess Crescentia was described by her contemporaries as a quiet, shy woman with great kindness. During the cholera epidemic in 1836, she and her husband tried as much as they could to alleviate the suffering of the suffering population. Crescentia died of a heart attack at the age of just 47 on June 22, 1853. Her husband survives her by 17 years. It became clear afterwards how much his wife must have been a wise support to him. After ruining himself due to clumsy political behavior and property speculation, he was forced to seek shelter in his son-in-law's house in Lucerne, tormented by material worries.
Portrait
In 1833, Ludwig I of Bavaria thought that the beautiful Princess Crescentia was deemed worthy to be included in the series of 36 portraits in the famous Gallery of Beauties (today in Nymphenburg Palace). Princess Crescentia and Prince Louis of Oettingen's daughter Caroline (married Count Hugo Philipp Waldbott von Bassenheim) was also portrayed by Joseph Stieler for this gallery in 1843. In May 1836 – apparently on the occasion of the 30th. Joseph Stieler created the present portrait on the occasion of the princess's birthday on May 3. The basic disposition is based on the painting from 1833, but the character of the portrait is varied: the princess is now depicted with hair in ringlets, lace scarf, pearl band, low shoulder maroon gown, and lace tucker. In front of the dignified motif of a pillar architecture, the depiction is no longer a half-length portrait, but rather a half-length figure, which represents the forearm and the hand with the bouquet of Forget me not flowers.

The Menger Cat 19, also sold as the Thom Cat 19 Catboat, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by father and son team Bill Menger and Andrew Menger as a daysailer and cruiser and first built in 1990.
The Menger Cat 19 is a development of the Menger Cat 17, designed after the Menger Cat 17 molds were destroyed in a lightning-caused fire in 1990.
Production
The design was built by Menger Boatworks in Babylon, New York, United States from 1990 until the company went out of business in 2004.
It was also later produced by Wagner Boatworks of Oyster Bay, New York and also by Thompson Boatworks of West Sayville, New York under the name Thom Cat 19 Catboat. It remains in production under that name.
Design
The Menger Cat 19 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a catboat rig, a plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel and retractable centerboard. It displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the centerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, although a Yanmar or Nanni Industries inboard diesel engine with a fuel tank that holds is optional.

Operational history
In a 2000 review naval architect Bob Perry wrote, "the Menger 19 is in the style of the Cape Cod catboats and has the displacement to carry minimal accommodations. This is just the kind of boat I would like to send my boys off in for the summer when they both get to the teenage years. "Here's $500. See you at the end of August." Father's dreams. I long ago explained to my boys that when I buy them that new bike, I am buying myself the bike I never had. That new baseball mitt is the glove I always wanted. "Here, Bob Perry, take this Menger 19 and this $500. I'll see you at the end of August." Three strings to pull, a locker full of Dinty Moore stew and three months to explore the San Juan Islands in a stalwart little catboat. What more could you need?"
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "After a lightning fire destroyed the molds for the successful Menger 17 catboat ... Bill Menger and his son designed the Menger Cat 19, an 'expanded and improved' version of the 17, two feet longer, two inches deeper, and 700 pounds heavier (including 100 pounds more ballast). Obvious visual differences include the addition of an extra cabin port for more light, and a longer cockpit. Most of the extra two feet of length is in the aft end of the cockpit. (Compare the two boats’ inboard profiles aft of the cockpit hatch for where most of the space went.) The same 'best' and 'worst' features apply to the 19 as apply to the 17 ... Best features: The Menger 19 has more headroom than any of her comp[ettor]s, plus a better Motion Index (no doubt due to her combination of heavier displacement and longer length). The optional mast tabernacle works well, and is highly recommended for trailer-sailors. ... Worst features: Price is high."

Luv Ka The End () is a 2011 Hindi comedy drama film directed by Bumpy, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Taaha Shah in the lead roles. The film was the first production of Y-Films, a subsidiary of Yash Raj Films and released to mostly positive reviews on 6 May 2011. The film is also loosely based on the 2009 American film Wild Cherry and the 2006 American film John Tucker Must Die directed by Betty Thomas and John Green's novel Paper Towns.
Plot
Rhea Dialdas has just done her JC (Junior College) and she already fancies herself marrying her charming, rich boyfriend Luv Nanda. who in turn, fancies winning this contest called BBC (Billionaire Boys Club), which is a rage amongst billionaire boys. It is seen that the boys upload videos of themselves with girls, engaging in intimate activities, on the website, and the more they do so, the more points they get. Luv Nanda was going to become the highest scorer that year. This was shown to Rhea by the brother of a friend of Rhea.
The only way for Luv to win this contest was to get Rhea into bed with him on her 18th birthday eve and have sex with her as, this would've provided him another 1,000 points, which would've propelled his profile to untouchable heights for that year. She goes along naively until she realizes that it's not love, but points that Luv is trying to score. Now out to get him by the balls, she has a plan up her sleeve with her gal pals. Rhea believes that Luv has power as long as his Car, Cash, Charm, and his friends are intact. Rhea makes a pact with Minty (her sister) and then goes to take everything from Luv Nanda by which he attracts girls (who now wants to have Natasha in place of Rhea). She breaks his car, screws his date with Natasha as she accidentally eats the cupcake which was meant for Luv and she is forced to go to the toilet in a public road, spikes his drink with a kind of drug after which, comes the famous Mutton Song where, Luv dances in a bar, dressed up like a girl. The video of him dancing is sent to Luv's friends who believe he is gay and the girls steal his credit cards to buy hot posters of actors and mankinis so that Luv's father thinks he is gay.
Then, at Golu's party, where Freddie Kapoor came to play, she takes Luv to a room where hidden cameras were put to shoot the whole proceeding. Luv, who's found out about Rhea's plan, ties Rhea's hands. But, she unties herself and sprays pepper-spray on Luv to take revenge on him for leaving her and makes him realize the consequences of cheating a girl, and proceeds to tell him that, though girls don't have balls, they sure do know how to kick them after which, she kicks Luv's balls. Before she comes out of the room, she announces that Billionaire Boys Club is officially shut down. When she comes out of the room, she finds everyone cheering for her. Natasha finds out that Rhea destroyed her car, but she forgives Rhea for doing that. Everyone goes to Freddie Kapoor's concert and watches him sing. They all clap for him. Rhea's parents call them and tell them to come back home just in time. Freddie Kapoor witnesses this and asks them if he can drop them off, in which they say "yes". The film proceeds to have Freddie Kapoor drop Rhea at her home and asking Rhea for a date to which Rhea replies by telling him to call her. In a semi post-credits scene, we see Timmy telling Luv that he (Timmy) is gay and he knows that so is Luv (part of the plan of the girls) and jumps on him after lowering his pants.

Reception
Critical reception
Luv Ka The End opened to positive reviews across India. Taaha Shah and Shraddha Kapoor managed to get rave reviews from most critics. The rest of the characters also were highly praised for their performance. The newcomers showed tremendous confidence and were bang on in their portrayal of the different characters that they played. Pushtiie Shakti who played Jugs in the film was highly praised. Errol Peter Marks who plays gollu was praised by Taran Adarsh. Meherzan Mazda of Seven fame was also appreciated for his portrayal of a Gym Freak.
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars. VJ Archana gave the film 4 on 5 stars calling it a crazy fun ride. RJ Jeeturaj praised the film for its freshness, execution and approach. Yahoo movies gave the film 3 out of 5 stars.
Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India rated it 2 out of 5 and wrote – "The film scores only in some of its performances (Shraddha Kapoor's gang) and might appeal to young collegiates who want to miss a few boring tutorials". Entertainment portal FilmiTadka stated – Luv Ka The End is like what Rock music (not in the good sense) is to a Jazz lover, instead of a solid script, the director has tried to fill in voids with noise. Song 'Mutton' to me will the most vulgar song of this year, we at FilmiTadka give it 1.5 out of 5 stars. Anupama Chopra of NDTV said – "Sensibility of this film is not youthful, it's juvenile. And that's before you get to the part where Luv, under the influence of some pill, dresses in drag and breaks into a song that goes: Mera jism, jism, mera badan, badan, main hun taza mutton mutton, khol dilon ke button button. I’m not sure what demographic that is aimed at but it definitely not for me. I’m going with one and a half star".

Mary Elizabeth Plummer (March 18 1849 – 13 September 1922) was an American-born pupil of and later the wife of Georges Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France during Third Republic. Plummer was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts. Clemenceau arrived in the United States in 1865 after fleeing France due to involvement in radical political activism during the regime of Napoleon III. He eventually taught at a girls school in Stamford, Connecticut, which Plummer attended. The two wed in 1869 and moved to France a year later. Together they had three children. Plummer and Clemenceau separated in 1876 and divorced in 1891.
Though Clemenceau had many mistresses, when his wife took as her lover a tutor of their children, he had her put in jail for two weeks and sent her back to the United States on a steamer in third class. He divorced her, obtained custody of their children and had her stripped of her French nationality.

St. George's Golf and Country Club (originally The Royal York Golf Club) is a golf course and country club located in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the west end neighbourhood of Islington.
History
The club was originally established in 1909 by Robert Home Smith from Stratford-upon-Avon, England who purchased the area of land which was located on the banks of the Humber River.
The club was built in co-ordination with the construction of the Royal York Hotel, which was being designed in downtown Toronto, with the plan being that the golf facilities would be necessary for the guests staying in the hotel. Leading the construction of the hotel was Sir Edward Wentworth Beatty, who was known to be acquainted with Smith. Leading construction of the golf course was Stanley Thompson, the leading Canadian golf course architect. At its Islington Avenue location, the course opened in 1929. The course, under the Royal York name, hosted the Canadian Open in 1933. However, in 1935 Smith died, and his executor trustee Godfrey S. Pettit, became president of the club.
In 1946 the name of the country club was changed from The Royal York Golf Club to St. George's Golf and Country Club as a result of the financial arrangement with the Canadian Pacific Railway (of which Beatty was president) ending. The club has been rated several times in the top three of Canada and amongst the top 100 in the world
St. George's has hosted the Canadian Open six times:
1933: won by Joe Kirkwood, Sr.
1949: won by Dutch Harrison
1960: won by Art Wall Jr.
1968: won by Bob Charles
2010: won by Carl Pettersson
2022: won by Rory McIlroy
The course has been extended in length, to 7,025 yards, par 71, to attract more Canadian Open events. While the course is universally regarded as outstanding, issues of logistics, access, and available space in a crowded neighbourhood make hosting a tournament of this magnitude somewhat problematic. Logistical steps taken to host the Open include closing the busy thoroughfare Islington Avenue before and during the tournament, using the nearby Islington Golf Club's practice facilities, shuttling the players back and forth to Islington Golf Club, limiting the number of spectators who can access the course, and starting play for the first two rounds from the 1st and 9th tees (normally it would be the 1st and 10th tees). St. George's has been announced as the host for the Canadian Open in 2022.
The club has also hosted the Canadian Women's Open five times: 1975, 1978, 1980, 1982, and 1984. The course was also the host venue for golf of the 2017 Invictus Games.
The 2020 RBC Canadian Open tournament, which had been scheduled at the club, was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario. After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian Open returned in 2022.
Curling
In 2020, members of the golf club voted to discontinue curling operations at St. George's, citing that curling was "no longer a good fit for golf". Since then, the curling space has been replaced by an indoor golf facility and pickle ball court.

Comentiolus (; died 610/611) was the brother of the Eastern Roman emperor Phocas (r. 602–610).
Nothing is known of his early life except that he was the son of Domentzia, along with Phocas and the later magister officiorum Domentziolus. Raised by Phocas to the rank of patricius and the post of magister militum, he was in charge of the Byzantine Empire's eastern army facing the Sassanid Persians when Phocas was overthrown and executed by Heraclius (r. 610–641) in 610.
Comentiolus refused to acknowledge Heraclius's accession, and, bringing back the troops to winter quarters at Ancyra, he planned to attack Constantinople and avenge the deaths of his brothers Phocas and Domentziolus. Heraclius pardoned his nephew, the son of Domentziolus (also named Domentziolus), and sent the respected former general Philippicus as an envoy. Comentiolus imprisoned Philippicus and threatened to have him executed, but was himself assassinated by the patricius Justin (late 610 or 611). The rebellion, and with it a serious threat to Heraclius's still shaky hold on power, died with him.

Autumn Leaves is a 1956 American psychological drama film directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Joan Crawford in an older woman/younger man tale of mental illness. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures. The screenplay was written by Jean Rouverol and Hugo Butler, though it was credited to Jack Jevne (serving as a front), since Rouverol and Butler were blacklisted at the time of the film's release.
The film was produced by William Goetz. Aldrich won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 1956 Berlin International Film Festival.
Plot
Millicent "Milly" Wetherby works at home as a self-employed typist. One evening in a diner, she meets a lonely, younger U.S. Army veteran named Burt Hanson. They share a romantic date at the beach, kissing amidst the crashing waves, but Milly tells Burt to date someone his own age. A month later, Burt is waiting for the still-lonely Milly at her home and the two celebrate his new job at a department store. He proposes to her in a movie theater, and while she initially rejects the proposal, she reconsiders when she sees him walking away.
The next day, the couple gets married in Mexico. However, on the marriage license, he lists his place of birth as Chicago, though he had earlier told her he was born in Racine, Wisconsin. Once home, Burt's ex-wife, Virginia, appears, which shocks Milly because Burt told her that he had never been married. Virginia gives her a property settlement that she wants Burt to sign and tells her that Burt is a habitual liar about his life and his past. Milly also learns that Burt's father (Lorne Greene) is in Los Angeles to find him.
Burt is haunted by the day when he discovered his wife and father making love; he begins displaying signs of mental instability with their sudden, unwelcomed presence in his life. When he becomes violent, Milly sends him to a mental hospital. Burt's condition improves with treatment (depicted sketchily as a montage of intravenous drugs and electroconvulsive therapy), and he severs connections with his past. Milly happily discovers he still loves her and they look forward to a brighter future.

Production
The film's original working title was The Way We Are. Robert Aldrich originally developed it for his own company, the Associates and Aldrich and it was announced in July 1954, based on an original script by Jack Jevne.
Aldrich got Joan Crawford attached and they sold it to William Goetz who had a deal with Columbia. Filming began on August 31, 1955.
Song
The title was changed from The Way We Are to capitalize on the success of the then popular tune "Autumn Leaves", performed in the film by Nat King Cole. Crawford's character is fond of the song, but it is not identified by name in the script. Cole's rendition is used over the film's main title sequence and the cast credits at the end.
The song's original title is "Les feuilles mortes" ("The Dead Leaves") with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by Jacques Prévert. English lyrics were written by the American songwriter Johnny Mercer (1949). The song was introduced by Yves Montand in the French feature film Les Portes de la Nuit (1946), but was made popular in the United States through a piano version by Roger Williams in 1955.
Reception
Although Bosley Crowther panned the film in The New York Times on August 2, 1956, calling it a "dismal tale", Lawrence Quirk in Motion Picture Herald and William Zinsser in the New York Herald Tribune commented favorably upon the film. Autumn Leaves was a modest box-office success.
The actress thought highly of the film, deeming it the "best older woman/younger man movie ever made", and added, "Everything clicked on Autumn Leaves. The cast was perfect, the script was good, and I think Bob [Aldrich] handled everything well. I really think Cliff did a stupendous job; another actor might have been spitting out his lines and chewing the scenery, but he avoided that trap. I think the movie on a whole was a lot better than some of the romantic movies I did in the past...but somehow it just never became better known. It was eclipsed by What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? with Bette Davis."
The film has grown in stature among Aldrich fans since its 1956 premiere and is now regarded as one of the director's best films. Dan Callahan of Slant Magazine (June 16, 2004) wrote, "All of Aldrich's early work is intriguing, but Autumn Leaves is his secret gem. It's been passed over as camp because of its star, Joan Crawford, but Aldrich brings all his hard edges to this woman's picture. The collision of his tough style with the soapy material makes for a film that never loses its queasy tension."
Crawford and Aldrich announced plans to make another film together Storm in the Sun but these plans faltered when Aldrich had a falling out with Columbia. However the two worked together again on Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).

Centrilobular necrosis refers to the necrosis of the centrilobular tissue of the hepatic lobule. The centrilobular zone of the lobule is most prone to metabolic toxins such as those generated in alcoholic hepatitis. In acetaminophen overdose, glutathione depletion occurs and the highly reactive NAPQI will bind to the liver cells causing centrilobular necrosis.

Ardnadam Farm is the site of an ancient cromlech in the village of Ardnadam, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The relic was, according to popular tradition, the grave of a king who was named after Adam. Ardnadam Farm, located near Loch Loskin, was supposedly so-called in accordance with the tradition. The stones were later considered to be fragments of a Druidical altar.
A nearby street is named Cromlech Road. It runs between Ardnadam's Ferry Road and High Road (the A885) in Sandbank.

LIVE365 is an Internet radio network which enables users to create their own online radio stations and listen to thousands of human curated stations. Online radio stations on the Live365 network were created and managed by music and talk enthusiasts, including both hobbyists and professional broadcasters. Live365 also has many well established AM and FM stations that use Live365 broadcasting platform to simulcast their terrestrial radio streams. The Live365 network also features radio stations from artists such as Johnny Cash, David Byrne, Pat Metheny, Jethro Tull, and Frank Zappa. Live365 was created in 1999, and remains one of the longest running internet radio websites for listeners and broadcasters.
This internet radio provides service in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with licenses from those countries' performance rights societies.
History
Nanocosm Inc. (the parent company of Live365) was a technology startup founded by two roommates from the Princeton class of 1981, Alex Sanford and Steve Follmer, whose initial product was NanoHome, a 3D "Virtual Home" website featuring 3D homepages on the World Wide Web.
Live365 had its beginnings in a hosted community radio project developed by Nanocosm employee Andy Volk in his free time using Shoutcast technology, and later modified by employee Brian Lomeland. In 1998, Andy Volk shared the idea with Nanocosm CTO Peter Rothman, and they developed the concept for a new large-scale hosted community radio service dubbed Live365. After launch in July 1999, Live365 quickly eclipsed NanoHome, and the company soon shifted to solely focus on Live365 and online audio streaming services.
At launch, broadcasting and listening on Live365 was free of charge. Stations had a maximum listener cap of 365 simultaneous listeners and 365 megabytes of storage for music and audio. In September 2001, Live365 began charging for use of its broadcasting services to remain financially viable in the wake of rising music royalty costs. More expensive plans allowed stations to have more simultaneous listeners and a greater amount of music file storage space. Members who joined before September 2001 could continue broadcasting with their original package for free. This model would later be replaced with one in which all members pay, but those who joined before September 2001 received a discount. In March 2003, Live365 launched their commercial-free membership called VIP.
Closure and reopening
The Webcaster Settlement Act of 2009 expired in January 2016, ending a 10-year period in which smaller online radio stations, Live365 among them, paid lower music licensing fees compared to larger broadcasters. After this time, smaller radio stations were required to pay the same fees as the largest broadcasters. Also, on January 31, 2016, webcasters, who are governed by rules adopted by the Copyright Royalty Board, were required to begin paying SoundExchange an annual, nonrefundable minimum fee of $500 for each channel and station, the fee for services with greater than 100 stations or channels being $50,000 annual.
With the pending expiration of the lower royalty rate allowed for small broadcasters, investors removed their support of the company. In late December 2015, Live365 laid off most of its employees and vacated its office, and the few remaining employees were remote workers. On January 31, 2016, Live365 ceased webcasting and its website redirected listeners and users to a list of competing services. A year after its closure, Live365 relaunched its site and streaming services.
In July 2016, Live365 was acquired by Jon Stephenson, owner of content delivery network EmpireStreaming (now SoundStack). The following month, the website returned with signs of a possible relaunch. An article was posted to the site's official Twitter on May 23, 2017 announcing the relaunch.
On January 6, 2018, Live365 was reorganized under Media Creek Inc., a Delaware-based holding company.

Broadcasting platform
Live365 is a digital broadcasting platform that was initially operational from 1999 to January 31, 2016, before being revived in 2018. The platform provides the functionality for users to either host live broadcasts or upload and create playlists of music and talk content for streaming purposes. Live365 pays music royalties to labels, artists, songwriters, and publishers through organizations including ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SoundExchange.
In October 2011, Live365 implemented the Pro Points rewards program. This enabled Pro broadcasters to incorporate Live365 audio advertisements into their content, with financial rewards granted upon reaching specified ad milestones.
In 2013, Live365 further expanded its service offerings with the release of the Studio365 for Mobile application. This software tool allows Live365 broadcasters to manage their radio station remotely using mobile devices.
