Dardanus is an opera by Antonio Sacchini. It takes the form of a tragédie lyrique in four acts (later revised to a three-act version). It was first performed at Versailles on 18 September 1784, and subsequently at the Paris Opera on 30 November of the same year. The French-language libretto was adapted by Nicolas-François Guillard from that by Charles-Antoine Leclerc de La Bruère, which had already been set to music by Jean-Philippe Rameau in his earlier opera of the same name.
History
Guillard's adaptation blends both 1739 and 1744 versions of Rameau's opera, but is based principally upon the second one. Although "the title-page of the printed score reads only 'paroles de M. Guillard', [in fact] most of the text is by La Bruère". Guillard's interventions mainly consisted in "[omitting] the Prologue, [altering] the order of events in Act 3, and skilfully [compressing] Acts 4 and 5". The librettist "justified his redoing the subject ... [by explaining] that his aim was to tighten the plot and create better motivation for the characters". The dancing divertissement was done by Pierre Gardel.
The opera was not successful at its first appearance and had no more than six performances. Both Maillard, who played Iphise, and Larrivée, who played Teucer, were regarded as inadequate, the latter having to be replaced by Moreau after the second performance; the opera as a whole was deeply involved in the growing hostility towards Queen Marie Antoinette's predilection for foreigners, Sacchini being her favourite: she herself had introduced the musician to the king in 1783, when he had been celebrated at court along with another Italian composer Piccinni, when they had both been granted substantial pensions on account of their recently staged operas, Didon and Chimène.
Sacchini and Guillard later decided to revise Dardanus, reducing it to three acts and introducing new choreography by Gaetano Vestris. The new version was given at Fontainebleau on 20 October 1785 and was later brought to the stage of the Paris Opera on 17 January 1786, enjoying a total of 25 performances in 1786/1787. "It was [later] mounted annually between 1800 and 1808, and it was sung on 28 dates in these nine years", before being definitively dropped.
Roles
Recordings
Music from Dardanus was used in the film Jefferson in Paris. Extracts from the opera appeared on the soundtrack CD, conducted by William Christie with Jean-Paul Fouchécourt singing the title role.
Two arias for Iphise ("Il me fuit ... Rien peut émouvoir" and "Cesse, cruel Amour, de régner sur mon âme") were recorded by Véronique Gens on the album Tragédiennes 2, accompanied by the orchestra Les Talens Lyriques conducted by Christophe Rousset (Virgin Classics, 2009).

Dr. John A. Zoidberg, often referred to mononymously as Zoidberg, is a fictional character from the animated series Futurama. He is a Decapodian, a crustacean-like species of alien, who works as the staff doctor for Planet Express, despite his woeful understanding of human physiology and allusions to his questionable credentials. His character parodies the supposed wealth and automatic respect of modern doctors—for example, his incompetence at human medicine makes him extremely poor despite his profession, and he is implied to be frequently homeless when not at work. The Decapod (named after the actual Decapoda order of ten-footed crustaceans) are an extended parody on Jewish culture —the bigger joke being that shellfish are not kosher . The writing riffs on the marine theme in a playfully absurd way, with just about any marine Arthropoda or Mollusca being implied to be akin to Zoidberg. He is voiced by Billy West, who performs the character with a Yiddish-inflected accent inspired by actors George Jessel and Lou Jacobi.
Character creation
Zoidberg is named after an Apple II game that series writer David X. Cohen created in high school called Zoid, similar to the game Qix. The game was rejected by Broderbund. One of Cohen's inspirations for the character of Dr. Zoidberg was the fact that Star Trek character Leonard McCoy, the ship's doctor, frequently administered medical treatment to aliens such as Spock, so Cohen wished human characters in Futurama to be in the uneasy situation of being treated by an alien doctor.
During the first season, jokes surrounding Zoidberg usually focused on his poor understanding of human anatomy and his resulting incompetence as a doctor, and the fact that all of his co-workers hate him. His incompetence is aggravated by the fact that he believes himself to be an expert on human anatomy, and will blithely attempt to treat human patients as he would his own species. One of his running traits is his pronunciation of the word "robot", pronouncing it rather than . His use of English grammar and idioms resembles the stereotypical speech of Jewish people living in the northeastern United States, and elements of Jewish humor, and playful reversals on it, are a theme. As the series progressed, writers gradually introduced the themes that Zoidberg is also poor, homeless, friendless, smelly, undignified, and repulsive—comically opposite the idea that a doctor stereotypically occupies a respectable, wealthy, and romantically desirable role. Regardless of these traits, Zoidberg is good-natured and means well, and will help the crew when the situation calls for it. Zoidberg also generally attempts to make himself look refined, successful, and important in front of others, though this illusion is quickly dashed when pointed out.
Biography
Zoidberg is the company doctor at Planet Express. Although he claims expertise in human medicine, particularly internal medicine, his knowledge of human anatomy and physiology is atrocious. He has been shown as unable to tell the difference between robots and humans (or human males and females), believes food is digested in the heart, and that humans have multiple mouths and a dorsal fin. His only knowledge of humans seems to come from television advertisements, although his skills as a physician generally vary: in "Put Your Head on My Shoulders" he manages to successfully transplant Fry's head onto Amy's body after Fry's body incurs massive trauma in a vehicular accident, that he caused, that requires extensive repair, but in Into the Wild Green Yonder he incorrectly declares Fry dead only for him to wake up a few seconds later. In Bender's Big Score, he performs several limb reattachments to moderate success. It may be assumed that advances in medical technology have made limb and head reattachment a simple process, as in Bender's Big Score head reattachment is shown to be little more than applying a paste to the area and placing the head back on (a process that works even if the head is on backwards, as shown). In "Parasites Lost", due to his incompetence as a physician, he comes to the conclusion that Fry, who is frequently injured, is a hypochondriac, an accusation he makes when Fry sits before Zoidberg with a pipe through his chest. He claims to be an MD, but states, unconvincingly, in "A Clone of My Own" that he lost his medical degree in a volcano. However, he later states in "The Duh-Vinci Code" that his PhD is in art history (as opposed to medicine). Other intimations to his dubious medical training include the episode "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles", in which he comments, "I'm no robot doctor, but this machine guy could really use a lozenge." Although he is shown to be incompetent at treating humans, the episode "The Tip of the Zoidberg" shows he is a competent doctor for alien species, such as the Yeti. In the episode, Professor Farnsworth says he is an expert in alien physiology. There are also frequent mentions throughout the series that he has good medical knowledge regarding his own species, for example in the episode "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?" he talks about fin rot, which is a real disease that affects fish.
Despite his career as a physician, Zoidberg is repeatedly identified as living in poverty, lonely and desperate for friendship and attention. The crew are often disgusted by his foul habits, such as squirting ink or eating from trash cans, though he is mostly oblivious to their true feelings about him, having referred to Hermes Conrad and Bender as friends. Dr. Zoidberg also seems outgoing and unaware of dangerous situations, for example when Roberto tries to escape the cops with a knife at Dr. Zoidberg’s throat, Roberto asks “Can’t a guy drop in on old friends?!?” To which Zoidberg replies “I’m good! And you?” Hermes seems to have the most intense dislike of Zoidberg, seeing him as even more expendable than the rest of the crew. However, when Fry reads Hermes' mind in Into the Wild Green Yonder, it is revealed that Hermes sees him as "pathetic but lovable". In "The Six Million Dollar Mon", after Hermes quits Planet Express and trades his own body parts for robot parts, a depressed Zoidberg recovers the discarded parts and sews them together to create a full-fledged ventriloquist dummy of Hermes, which he later uses to transplant Hermes' brain out of his robot body and back into his original body. After Hermes thanks him and admits that they had never been friends, Zoidberg callously calls out Hermes for his treatment of him, leaving Hermes impressed with this confrontation. Zoidberg briefly becomes a hero when he saves Earth from enslavement to his own kind in "A Taste of Freedom". Fry and Professor Farnsworth are usually the only ones to refer to Zoidberg as a friend, and in Bender's Big Score, Zoidberg says of Fry, "He was the only one of you who never struck me!" during the latter's memorial. Zoidberg has ambitions to be a stand-up comedian, but he is entirely unsuccessful at this endeavor. In "That's Lobstertainment!", his uncle, the silent hologram star Harold Zoid (a parody of Harold Lloyd), advises him to give up on comedy and finance a film whose script Zoid is writing.
The reason that the Professor continues to employ Zoidberg as the staff physician, despite his apparent incompetence, is revealed in the sixth-season episode, "The Tip of the Zoidberg". The Professor is under the impression that he had been infected with the fatal disease hyper-malaria, contracted during a covert quasi-military mission. The Professor had asked Zoidberg to promise to kill him when the latent disease manifested itself, and Zoidberg agreed. In that episode it is also explained that Zoidberg is, in fact, a very competent physician for all other species except humans. Planet Express' main competitor, Mom, whom Zoidberg knows on a first name basis as "Carol", states that Zoidberg is "the best in the business" when it comes to alien anatomy; "at his price level". Unlike all of the other characters, Mom addresses Zoidberg with great respect and admiration. Mom tells Zoidberg that he could have been a millionaire with his own research lab if he had worked for her. Mom also asks Zoidberg why he has stayed with Farnsworth through the years; Zoidberg replied that it is because Farnsworth is his friend.
When frightened or fleeing from danger or trouble, Zoidberg makes a high-pitched whooping sound, similar to Curly Howard of The Three Stooges, or squirts ink at his attacker. It is revealed in "The Cryonic Woman" that Zoidberg has always dreamed of becoming a grandmother. "A Taste of Freedom" and Futurama: Bender's Game indicate that Zoidberg harbored a childhood dream of working in show business as a comedian or song-and-dance man, but that his parents pushed him to become a doctor.
Zoidberg is depicted as being ignorant of human customs, and socially inept, to the point of inspiring great aggravation in others. In "Where the Buggalo Roam", during his stay at the ranch of Amy Wong's parents, he treats them as surrogate parents – to the point of calling them "Ma" and "Pa" – despite their obvious distaste for him, and abuses their hospitality until they throw him out.
Zoidberg's race, the Decapodians—from the sandy, beach-like planet Decapod 10—are crustaceans, generally lobster-like in appearance, with lobster-like claws, mouth tentacles, a hard exoskeleton, a fleshy, boneless interior, a fin that appears atop their heads during mating season or extreme anger, an ink pouch, two stomachs (one saltwater and one freshwater), four hearts, gonopores, and a complex system of internal organs, "most of which are either redundant or unnecessary." In "Roswell That Ends Well", he is not fazed when one of his hearts is removed by an alien autopsy team of human doctors, saying "Take it, take it, I have four of them!". Zoidberg has been depicted as able to consume things not considered food by humans, such as fish bones, wood, and chess pieces. Decapodians are able to molt their shell, like a lobster, leaving behind a whole exoskeleton—a trait which Zoidberg has used to fake his own death on occasion. In the episode "Bendin' in the Wind", Zoidberg produces tie-dye blue pearls after consuming large amounts of dirt. Zoidberg also habitually eats clothing and once, an Earth flag. Given that he refers to clothes as food and considers them a kind of delicacy, it may be that Decapodians themselves consume clothes. In "Möbius Dick", it is revealed that Zoidberg spontaneously grows hair in moments of extreme fright. At one point in all Decapodians' lives, they enter a mating phase, or "The Frenzy" as they call it, which causes them to behave in a neurotic and manic way. During this chaotic time, their behavior is dictated by the tiny brain located in their rumps. They also develop incredible super strength, their head fin comes out for mating displays, their stink glands increase production and the males become saturated with male jelly as the females become engorged with eggs. In the episode "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?", it is indicated that once Decapodians mate, they die; Zoidberg was raised by a third figure, placed on equal footing as his biological parents.
The episode "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles" indicates that young Decapodians progress through various larval forms, including those resembling crustaceans, invertebrate, fish, coral, starfish, sea sponges, and clams, before reaching their humanoid adult forms. However, in the episode "A Taste of Freedom", a young Zoidberg is seen with his typical humanoid form.
Dr. Zoidberg is also a skilled theremin player, and is the only person ever seen in the series to be 'good' enough to receive a present from Robot Santa. He is an honorary member of the Harlem Globetrotters, and a talented hand-to-claw combatant; he severs Fry's arm in an honor-duel ("Claw-Plach") and eventually fights and defeats the dangerous robot Clamps.
Dr. Zoidberg finally finds happiness in the penultimate episode "Stench and Stenchibility", when he meets and starts dating a flower merchant named Marianne, who suffers from anosmia. He performs a "nose transplant" to give her a sense of smell, though he is afraid that once she smells him, she will immediately reject him. Serendipitously, Marianne turns out to abhor the smell of flowers, instead preferring Zoidberg's aroma. She becomes a waste collector and the two continue dating.
By the end of the series, Zoidberg has largely corrected his medical blind spot concerning human anatomy, as demonstrated by Marianne's transplant and his earlier complete re-assembling of Hermes' body from cast-off parts.

Kyle Martin Magennis (born 26 August 1998) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock. He has previously played for St Mirren and Hibernian, and also represented Scotland at under-17 and under-21 level.
Club career
St Mirren
Born in Glasgow, Magennis attended Paisley Grammar School. Magennis joined St Mirren's youth academy at the age of five and remained there throughout his youth career until making his debut for the senior team against Hibernian in October 2016, aged 18, in the Scottish Championship. He continued to appear for the club throughout the season, scoring his first goal for the club in a narrow win over Queen of the South. Having impressed manager Jack Ross with his performances, he was offered a new contract with St Mirren in December 2016 which extended his contract with the club until summer 2019.
Now established as a first team player in the Saints squad, Magennis signed a new contract committing him to the club until the summer of 2020, and after clinching the 2017–18 Scottish Championship title, he further extended his contract with St Mirren to 2021. He was in the side which secured their status in the Scottish Premiership via the relegation playoff in May 2019.
Magennis and Saints suffered a major blow in January 2020, when he injured his knee during a 1–0 defeat to Rangers, ending his season after having appeared in every match of the campaign until suffering the injury. In September 2020, St Mirren stated they had rejected a "substantial" offer for Magennis from Hibernian. A few days later another offer from the same club was accepted.
Hibernian
Magennis signed a five-year deal with Hibernian on 5 October 2020.
On 1 August 2021, Magennis scored Hibernian’s opening Scottish Premiership goal for the 2021–22 season against Motherwell which ended in a 3–2 victory for Hibs. Magennis had a good start to the 2021–22 season, but then missed most of it due to groin and knee injuries.
After he suffered from more injury problems during the 2022–23 season, Magennis was allowed to leave Hibs in June 2023.
Kilmarnock
Following his release by Hibs, Magennis signed a two-year contract with Kilmarnock on 21 June 2023.
International career
Magennis was selected for the Scotland under-20 squad in the 2017 Toulon Tournament, in which they won the bronze medal. It was the nation's first ever medal at the competition. He then played for the Scotland under-21 team, making his debut in a 2–1 win against the Netherlands in September 2018.

Palazzo Aragona Gonzaga, also known as Palazzo Negroni, is a sixteenth-century palace in Rome, Italy. It was once the residence of Cardinal Scipione Gonzaga. During that time his cousin Luigi Gonzaga (later Saint Aloysius) also lived there, as did the poet Torquato Tasso from 1587 to 1590. In the nineteenth century it belonged to the Galitzin family, and so is also known as Palazzo Galitzin.
The building is sited at the junction of the via della Scrofa and piazza Nicosia, adjacent to the Collegio Clementino. It was originally built in the late Renaissance style but was given Baroque embellishments in the mid-eighteenth century.
Architecture
The ground plan of the building is irregular in order to fully occupy its street corner location. At first glance it appears to be rectangular, but closer inspection reveals that it is in fact an irregular pentagon.
The palace comprises five floors above a semi-basement. Its style is broadly based on Palazzo Farnese; the lower floors exemplifying the architecture of the late Renaissance found in Rome and throughout Lazio. The principal façade comprises five bays. The ground floor is pierced centrally by the entrance to a porte-cochère leading to an internal courtyard. The corners of the irregular building are accentuated by quoining, while shallow pilasters divide the five bays from the first floor upwards.
Externally, the ground floor shows banded rustication (very similar to that found in the Roman Palazzo Vidoni Caffarelli, built in 1515 and attributed to Raphael), while the floors above are of rendered ochre ashlar. In the custom of the time, the ground floor was designed for occupation by only horses, servants and domestic offices. Here on the first floor, the piano nobile, were the principal rooms. As in most Renaissance palazzi, the upper floors are reached by a broad stone staircase rising from the cloisterlike inner courtyard, this negated the need for the upper floor's noble occupants to ever visit the menial ground floor rooms.
The piano nobile contains an enfilade of principal reception rooms; the importance of these rooms is denoted on the exterior by the large size of the windows and their alternating segmental and pointed pediments.
The second floor is aesthetically divided from the first by a double band and it is quite possible that all above this band is a later addition. If this were the case, then the palace would have originally followed the simple two-storey design, which so appealed to Raphael.
The early architectural history of the building is poorly documented. What is known is that in 1701, architect Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri added the top floor. However, the architect was either not working in his usual style or it has been subsequently altered, for the uppermost floor appears of no more architectural merit than those added to many other palazzi during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
It may be that Bizzaccheri's work was altered; circa 1746 the building was acquired by the newly ennobled Negroni family who sometime between acquiring ownership and 1759 modernised the principal façade, creating its present-day appearance. This work included the Baroque pediments of the second floor windows and the pediments of the mezzanine floor. The latter were decorated with sheaths and arrows from the Negroni coat of arms, while the central pediment of the piano nobile was given extra prominence by the addition of a Negro's head in bas relief, the armorial crest of the Negroni.
The edifice is built around a central courtyard, which contains one of the palace's two fountains. The court fountain depicts the Virgin Mary; this is not contemporary with the building, and it was probably replacing an existing fountain during the Galitzin era of the later nineteenth century. The second fountain is on the external corner of the palace which tapers to the confluence of via dells Scrofa and piazza Nicosia. This is a more simple utilitarian tough fountain for the use of animals and people on the street. The ready supply of water to the building came from the re-opened the Acqua Vergine aqueduct, which had been restored in 1453.
Occupancy
The building was most notably the residence of Cardinal Scipione Gonzaga, a scion of the Gonzaga family, who had ruled Mantua in Northern Italy from 1328. However, it is not for his piety or noble connections that the cardinal is chiefly remembered, but for his friendship and patronage of the troubled poet Torquato Tasso and his support, against other family members, for his cousin Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. Saint Aloysius stayed in the building from 20 November 1585 before renouncing his worldly possessions and rank and joining the Society of Jesus. To both Gonzaga and Tasso, the Cardinal's residence was a refuge in time of trouble.
Following the cardinal's death in 1593, the building changed ownership, and thus its name, several times. Passing through the hands of the Casate and Astalli o Staglia families, before being acquired by the Negroni and undergoing renovations and alteration. Following the Negroni it passed to the Vecchiarelli family. In the nineteenth century, it became the residence of Prince Theodore Alexandrovich Galitzin, the son of Prince Alexander Mikhailovich Galitzin (1772–1821), Russian Ambassador to Rome. Today, much of the building is sub-divided into offices and apartments. It is not open to the public.

Acacia concolorans is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Phyllodineae that is endemic to Western Australia.
Description
The intricate and pungent shrub typically grows to a height of . It has green and scabridulous branchlets with yellow ribs and long straight stipules. The pungent, green and oblong to narrowly oblong shaped phyllodes are flat and thick with a length of and a width of . It blooms from July to August and produces yellow flowers. The rudimentary inflorescences occur in groups of two per raceme, the small spherical flower-heads contain seven to eight golden flowers. The narrowly oblong seed pods that form after flowering are curved and have a length of around and a width of . the pods contain irregularly ovate-elliptic shiny dark brown seeds.
Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanist Bruce Maslin in 1999 as part of the work Acacia miscellany 16. The taxonomy of fifty-five species of Acacia, primarily Western Australian, in section Phyllodineae (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae) as published in the journal Nuytsia. It was reclassified as Racosperma concolorans by Leslie Pedley in 2003 and transferred back to the genus Acacia in 2006. It is closely related to Acacia inamabilis which has larger phyllodes and larger flower-heads containing many more flowers.
Distribution
It is native to an area of the Wheatbelt and the Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia between Kondinin and Yilgarn where it is found on lateritic flats and hills growing in red to brown loam-clay soils as a part of open Eucalyptus woodland or mallee shrubland communities.

Solidago ouachitensis is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Ouachita Mountain goldenrod. It has a very limited range, found only in the Ouachita Mountains along the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma in the United States.
Solidago ouachitensis is a perennial herb growing up to about 1.1 meters (44 inches) in height. It produces one or more erect stems from a woody caudex. The serrated (toothed) leaves are 10 to 13 centimeters (4.0-5.2 inches) long around the middle of the plant and smaller higher on the stem. One plant will produce 25-50 bell-shaped flower heads. Each flower head usually contains one yellow ray floret and 4-5 disc florets. Flowering occurs in September and October.
Solidago ouachitensis is likely a relict of times when conditions were colder and wetter. It only occurs in the cooler, moister sites in the Ouachita Mountains, usually in wet forest habitat on north-facing slopes. Associated species include Magnolia tripetala, Fagus grandifolia, Acer rubrum, Quercus rubra, Aesculus glabra, Asarum canadense, Campanula americana, Panax quinquefolium, Toxicodendron radicans, and Hybanthus concolor.

Whakatīwai is a locality on the Seabird Coast on the western shore of the Firth of Thames, in the Hauraki District, New Zealand. Whakatīwai is the location of Wharekawa Marae, which holds importance for Ngāti Paoa and Ngāti Whanaunga. Whakatīwai Regional Park is just north of Whakatīwai. Until 2010, Whakatīwai was a part of the Franklin District. Because it was previously considered a part of the Auckland region, the Whakatīwai Regional Park continues to be owned and operated by the Auckland Council.
History
Whakatīwai is the site where the Tainui ancestor Hotunui settled, after exiling himself from the Kāwhia Harbour. Hotunui's son Marutūahu established a pā at Whakatīwai, and Marutūahu's sons became the ancestors of the five tribes of the Marutūāhu collective. Whakatīwai became a settlement of Ngāti Pāoa, one of the Marutūāhu tribes, and is called the poutokomanawa ("heart post") of the Ngāti Paoa rohe. During the Musket Wars in 1821, the Ngāti Pāoa settlement at Whakatīwai was sacked. Ngāti Pāoa continued to live in the area, and in 1827 Ngāti Pāoa sheltered Apihai Te Kawau, paramount chief of Ngāti Whātua, at Whakatīwai during the war. In 1874, Ngāti Pāoa held a great hui at Whakatīwai for over 3,000 delegates to finalise the plans for opening the Ohinemuri goldfields in the Karangahake Gorge, which included speakers Wiremu Kīngi and Tareha Te Moananui and crown negotiator James Mackay.
In the early 20th century, Whakatīwai was predominantly Māori, while Kaiaua directly to the south was predominantly Pākehā. Because of this, the Kaiaua School was moved to a location central for both townships in the 1930s.

Jidbali road is a new road which runs from Tifafleh near Las Anod Airport in the south, to Xudun towards the north. It is the main route leading from the Sool province towards Sanaag province. A precursor to the tarmac existed since the nineteenth century when it was a pathway.
Etymology
Its namesake refers to a locality a few miles westwards midway through the road, which is notable for being the deadliest confrontation between the Darwiishes and the British Army. Several of the most senior Darwiish figures died at the site, including Xayd Aaden Gallaydh, three of the sons of Beynax Aaden-Gallaydh, Xirsiwaal Maxamuud Cashuur, and four of the sons of Muuse Taagane. Xudin (or Hudin) was itself briefly the headquarters of the haroun (Darawiish government) in the aftermath of Jidbali, whereupon they later fled to Halin, whilst the nearby hills of Bur Anod had previously been an outpost with small blockhouse fortifications. During the Illig Agreement, the road between Tifafleh and Xudun (Hudin) was regarded as the western border for the grazing of Darawiish livestock.

Blockhouse Bay is a residential suburb in the south west of Auckland, in New Zealand's North Island. It is sited on the northern coast of the Manukau Harbour, and is also close to the administrative boundary that existed between Auckland City and Waitakere City, two of the former four cities of what was the Auckland conurbation before amalgamation into Auckland Council.
The suburb is located 11 kilometres to the southwest of the city centre, and is surrounded by the more central suburbs of Lynfield and New Windsor, and the Waitakere suburbs of New Lynn and Green Bay.
The Blockhouse Bay Library is located in the town centre, as is the Blockhouse Bay Community Centre, located 200 metres from the library.
History
Early history
Portage Road is the location of Te Tōanga Waka, one of the overland routes between the two harbours (and thus the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea), where Māori would beach their waka (canoes) and drag them overland to the other coast, thus avoiding having to paddle around North Cape. This made the area of immense strategic importance in both pre-European times and during the early years of European occupation.
The earliest European known to have trekked through, and followed the coastline of the Manukau Harbour in an endeavour to find if there was a waterway connecting the two harbours, was the Rev. Samuel Marsden in 1820. Two missionaries who had arrived in New Zealand on 30 December 1834, William Colenso and R. Wade, walked through the Whau South area in 1838 hoping to find a Māori settlement, but the Pa site on Te Whau point had been abandoned some time before. They remarked that the area was "open and barren heaths, dreary, sterile and wild."
Te Whau Bay was used as a camping spot for European settlers during the early colonial era of Auckland.
The Blockhouse
A wooden blockhouse was constructed over Te Whau Bay in 1860. At this time the first land war in Taranaki was escalating and there were fears it would spread north and so a defence system for Auckland was actioned. A 12-acre site was chosen, bordered by Esplanade (Endeavour Street), Gilfillan Street, Wynyard Road (Blockhouse Bay Road) and Boylan Street (Wade Street). The actual Whau Blockhouse was located on what is now No. 8 Gilfillan Street.
The site was chosen for two reasons:
The elevated cleared site provided an unobstructed view towards the Manukau Heads, the source of possible attack from southern Māori tribes.
It was close to the Whau Portage which was the route favoured by northern Māori tribes.
Colonel Thomas Mould of the Royal Engineers was charged with planning the location and type of defence system needed. A blockhouse is a purpose-built building with walls thick enough to stop musket ball penetration, with slits in the walls for defensive musket fire, a fence or stockade surrounding the building, with a trench beyond that.
The blockhouse was manned by the 57th (West Middlesex) Regiment of Foot and the 65th (2nd Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Foot until 1863. Never seeing military action, the blockhouse was rented out to a tenant in the 1880s and was gutted in a fire. It was subsequently demolished. The trenches were apparently still visible in the 1940s but have since been obscured.
Urban development
The earliest industry, in 1884, was the Gittos Tannery. The early 1900s saw other industries such as poultry, orchards, potteries, strawberries, flowers, loganberries and small farm holdings.
A bach community at Blockhouse Bay developed in the early 1900s, with the area becoming a popular holiday resort for Aucklanders in the 1920s, with families making the journey over rough roads to spend the summer at the beach. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, workers developed the Blockhouse Bay beachfront area, building stone walls and pathways.

Una Abell-Brinker (August 16, 1874 – November 12, 1952) was an American actress, billed as "First Lady of the Newark Theatre."
Early life
Una Abell was born in Wayne, Michigan, the daughter of Oliver Clinton Abell and Mary E. Chase Abell. Her father served in the Michigan State Senate in 1867; her mother worked as a fraternity matron at the University of Michigan. As a girl she recited to entertain a reunion of Civil War veterans in Akron, Ohio.
Career
Abell began her professional stage career by 1892, as an ingenue in the Hortense Rhéa company. She appeared in shows with Helena Modjeska, Sarah Bernhardt, and Maurice Barrymore, before launching her own repertory company at the New Century Theater in Newark, New Jersey.<ref name="Billboard">"Deaths" '"Billboard (November 22, 1952): 52.</ref>
She took a few years away from the stage, and returned to vaudeville in 1909, in Edward Weitzel's The Fifth Act. In 1910 she presented Ullie Akerstrom's The Eleventh Hour in Newark, where a reviewer noted, "The part deprives Mrs. Brinker of displaying some of her beautiful gowns, but gives her every opportunity for acting, which she does in a most artistic manner." She was billed as "the First Lady of Newark Theatre."
Abell-Brinker adapted and translated The Typhoon'', a sketch by Melchior Lengyel, in 1912, but another playwright, Emil Nyitray, claimed that her version was his own, and she was arrested to prevent its performance. She was also founder of the Junior League of Pleasantville, New York.
Personal life
Una Abell married H. Coulter Brinker, a fellow actor, in 1899; she was widowed in 1900, when Brinker died in an accidental fall from a hotel window. Her mother died a few months later. Her second husband was theatrical producer Jacob H. Kahn. She had two daughters, Joan Goldberg and Holly Becker. She was widowed again in 1944. Una Abell Brinker died in 1952, aged 78 years. Her papers are archived at the New York Public Library.

Víctor Cañas is a Costa Rican architect, founder of Cañas Arquitectos (formerly known as Cañas Collado Consultores) in 1972, a former professor at the University of Costa Rica. He is also a former diplomat.
Víctor Cañas, the world of architecture is a bridge that links the everyday to the everlasting, a world where creations are simply an artifice of the daily and vital. Structured within his strong desire to harmonize space and time, Arq. Cañas is the creator of spaces that transcend walls; the frame and the barriers of typical construction. His buildings and homes reveal situations and elements in a world of three-dimensional schemes that can only be experienced while mingling in his artistic achievements.
If the architect plays a double role in society as both the communicator and builder of environments then Mr. Cañas is saying and creating something truly unique with shape and form, going far beyond the basic spaces that fulfill the needs of home or office. As he explains it, "Architecture is mainly an organized space that gives shelter to a harmonious entity." Born in San José, Mr. Cañas completed both his undergraduate and graduate work abroad, acquiring a vast knowledge in the fields of design, architecture and urban planning. His observations as a student, first in Mexico and later in the United Kingdom, sculpted his knowledge in all three areas.
He founded his office at time when the Costa Rican society had little or no exposure and understanding about how fabulous design is. Over the years, more people have been exposed to and educated in good design, thus it has become more valued and now Cañas Architects is recognized as one of Latinamerica’s architectural offices with a longer and most committed trajectory.
Adding to his impressive resume, Mr. Cañas later returned to the United Kingdom to serve as Consul of the Costa Rican Embassy of London. He has traveled extensively as a visiting professor and lecturer at universities in Panama, Venezuela, Japan, United States, among other countries. In 1989 he joined University of Costa Rica as a professor of architectural design.
As an architect, his diverse creations have received national and international acclaim, including the gold medal at the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Architecture Triennial, held in Panama; the award for best steel construction at the Architecture Biennial in San Jose in 2002; and the grand prize in design at the Architecture and Urbanism Biennial in both 1998 and 2004, also held in San José. He also holds the record of wins of the Gran Premio (Main Prize) at the Costa Rican Architectural Biennale -three times. Victor Cañas is the first Honorary member of the American Institute of Architects ( Hon.FAIA ) in the category of Architectural Design in Central America and the only one whose postulation was made on the sole bases of his designs and remains so to this date.
In his works, Mr. Cañas believes that the landscapes, as well as the internal structures of a home, must be combined to give shape to design. From office spaces to leisure homes, his remarkable constructions reflect this desire, creating in the process a world in which textures, lines and forms blur and in which architecture becomes, as he puts it. “practical, yet organized, poetry.”

During the American Civil War he raised a troop of cavalry that would become Company B of the 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment and served as colonel.
Early life and education
Owen Jones was born on December 29, 1819, near Ardmore, Pennsylvania, to Jonathan and Mary (nee McClenaghan) Jones. He attended the public schools and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He studied law in Philadelphia under William M. Meredith. He was admitted to the bar of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1842, and commenced practice in Ardmore. He also was active in agriculture and raised animals and worked on the improvement of farming techniques. In 1845, he purchased a former estate in West Philadelphia and realized a huge gain in value. He served as a county commissioner.
Political career
Jones was elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-fifth Congress. While in Congress, he served as chairman of the United States House Committee on Expenditures in the Department of State. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1858. He served as a delegate from Pennsylvania for the 1860 Democratic National Conventions.
Military career

Actinopteri is the sister group of Cladistia (bichirs) in the class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish).
Dating back to the Permian period, the Actinopteri comprise the Chondrostei (sturgeons and paddlefish), the Holostei (bowfins and gars), and the teleosts. In other words all extant ray-finned fish minus the bichirs.
In this clade the lungs have evolved into a swim bladder.

The RML 13-pounder 8 cwt gun was a British Rifled, Muzzle Loading (RML) field artillery gun manufactured in England in the 19th century, which fired a projectile weighing approximately . "8 cwt" refers to the weight of the gun.
Design and manufacture
The 13-pounder was the last Rifled Muzzle Loading field gun to be produced, with production starting in 1879. Unlike the 9 and 16 Pounder RML guns, the 13-pounder had a much greater muzzle length. They could be finished as muzzle loaders or breech loaders, however they were all ordered to be finished as muzzle loaders. Their construction consisted of an 'A' tube of toughened steel, over which was shrunk a 'B' tube of wrought iron. The gun was rifled using a polygroove system, comprising 10 grooves on the Maitland system.
The gun was fitted with a set of sights on the centre of the barrel. This enabled the gun to be sighted for indirect, or direct fire. A flat surface was machined on top of the barrel for a clinometer to be used, enabling the gun to be levelled, or to provide an alternate method of indirect sighting.
Operation
The 13-pounder was normally deployed in batteries of six or four guns. Each gun was pulled by a team of six horses. It had a crew of nine men – five crew who could be mounted on seats on the limber and gun, three drivers and a gun commander (number one) mounted separately.
In addition to each gun, a limbered ammunition trailer was also horse drawn. When deployed as Field Artillery it was designed to move at the same speed as infantry, or when deployed as Horse Artillery being used where greater speed was required.
Guns were fired using a silk bag containing a black powder propellant. They used three types of ammunition – Common shell (for use against buildings or fortifications), shrapnel shell (for use against infantry or cavalry) and case shot (for close range use against 'soft' targets.) Ignition was through a copper-lined vent at the breech end of the gun. A copper friction tube would be inserted and a lanyard attached. When the lanyard was pulled the tube would ignite, firing the gun. A number of different fuzes could be used enabling shells to either burst at a pre-determined time (and range), or on impact. A typical rate of fire was one round per minute.
Service history
The 13-pounder saw action in the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882, where four Batteries were deployed, two with the Royal Horse Artillery and two as Field Artillery. It remained in front-line service with the Royal Artillery until the late 1880s when replaced by the 15 pounder Breech-Loading gun.
Some were re-issued to the 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers as Batteries of Position from 1889 and some remained in use until around 1902, when they were succeeded by more modern breech loading guns. In 1896 three guns were held by the South Australian Volunteer Artillery.
Surviving examples
A surviving example with carriage is displayed at Fort Rodd Hill, British Columbia. Another example in Canada, and the only one located in a building, is located at the museum of 5th (BC) Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery.
Another two surviving examples are on the Armed Forces of Malta's Headquarters barracks parade ground. Formerly on display above the main entrance to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps' HQ in Floriana Malta, they were then taken on charge by the AFM Luqa officers' mess when the RAOC shut up shop in Malta as part of the forces drawdown. Placed on display in Luqa barracks, they slowly deteriorated and were removed in 1994. After more than a decade languishing in the officers' mess kitchen yard, the two were restored by Air Defence Battery personnel in 2005 with the assistance of the curator of "Firepower", the Royal Artillery museum, who provided plans and manuals. When the restoration was finished, the two guns were placed on the Luqa barracks parade ground where they remain to this day.

The 2014 Continental Indoor Football League season was the Continental Indoor Football League's ninth overall season. The regular season started on Monday February 3, with the Northern Kentucky River Monsters visiting the Bluegrass Warhorses at the Alltech Arena, and ended with the 2014 CIFL Championship Game, the league's championship game held on May 18.
The Erie Explosion successfully defended their championship from the previous year with a win over the Marion Blue Racers in the championship.
Teams
The Kane County Dawgs, Kentucky Drillers and Owensboro Rage folded either during or after the 2013 season. The addition of the Bluegrass Warhorses, Chicago Slaughter, Kentucky Xtreme and the Northern Kentucky River Monsters prompted the league to make North and South Divisions for the 2014 season. The Slaughter folded in January, so the Chicago Blitz franchise was formed to take their place in 2014.
The Detroit Thunder, Kentucky Xtreme, Bluegrass Warhorses and Port Huron Patriots all ceased operations during the 2014 season.
Schedule
For the 2013 season there was a 10-game, 14-week regular season running from February to May. Each team hosted 5 games, and had five away games.

Linđo () is a popular dance of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik region of Croatia. It is danced to the accompaniment of lijerica (an old Southern Dalmatian instrument with three strings), which came from the Eastern Mediterranean in the late 18th century and spread on the Adriatic coast in the 19th century.
It is now extensively performed in the Dubrovnik's coastal region, in Konavle area, in Dubrovačko Primorje (Dubrovnik west coast) on the Pelješac Peninsula and on the islands of Mljet and Lastovo, as well as parts of Herzegovina. In the past, it was performed exclusively to the accompaniment of the bellows. The dance master plays sitting, with lijerica on his left knee, while stamping with his right foot, thus dictating rhythm to the dancers. They move in a circle around the dance master, who gives commands (in rhyme, humorous and often with double meaning). He also decides who will dance with whom and dictates the change of dance figures, along with encouraging the dancers to compete in improvisations.
The tradition of Linđo is kept alive by Dubrovnik's The Folklore Ensemble Linđo.
Origin of the name
The dance got its name after one-time legendary dance leader, Nikola Lale known as Linđo from Župa Dubrovačka. His descendants nowadays live in Župa Dubrovačka.
Today, his great-great-grandson Mario continued the tradition and plays lijerica in Linđo.

Herbert Justin Kneeshaw (1883–1955) was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He made over 100 appearances for Cardiff City during a 12-year spell at the side and later became a coach at the club.
Career
Born in Beckhill, Kneeshaw has two spells for Bradford City (from 1903 to 1904, and from March 1907 to September 1909), and also played for Heaton, St Cuthbert's, Guiseley and Colne Town. During his time with Bradford City he made one appearance in the Football League. In 1912, Kneeshaw joined Southern Football League side Cardiff City after being spotted by manager Fred Stewart, making his debut for the club on the opening day of the 1912–13 season during a 1–1 draw against the club's South Wales rivals Swansea Town.
He quickly established himself as the first choice goalkeeper for the Bluebirds, playing in over 100 matches in the Southern Football League, a spell interrupted by the outbreak of World War I, and won the Second Division of the Southern Football League in his first season at Ninian Park. He remained with the club following their move into the Football League for the 1920–21 season, playing in their first ever Football League match during a 5–2 victory over Stockport County. However, midway through the season, he was displaced by Ben Davies and spent two seasons as backup, only appearing in a handful of matches for the club, before deciding to retire from the game following the arrival of Tom Farquharson. He instead took up a coaching position with the club and remained in the role for over a decade.

Susan H. Wixon (October, 1839 - August 28, 1912) was an American freethought writer, editor, feminist, and educator of the long nineteenth century. She was a member of the Fall River School Board for 24 years. Wixon especially espoused the cause of women and children. In both politics and religion, she held radical views. She was the author of Apples of gold, and other stories for boys and girls (1876), Summer days at Onset (1887), Woman : four centuries of progress (1893), Sunday observance, or, How to spend Sunday (1893), Right living (1894), All in a lifetime : a romance (1894), and Some familiar places (1901).
Early life and education
Susan Helen Wixon was born in Dennisport, a neighborhood in Dennis, Massachusetts, in October, 1839. She was of Welsh descent. Her parents were Captain James Wixon and Bethia Smith Wixon.
Wixon was a good student and, before she was thirteen years old, she was teaching a district school. The committee hesitated about appointing her, on account of her extreme youth and diminutive size. "Indeed, I can teach," she said. "Give me a chance, and see!" They did so, and she did well. Denied a college education by her father, she did, however, attend a seminary for a year.
Career
Wixon taught successfully for several years in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and desired to make that profession her career. Early in life, after the loss of four brothers at sea, all at one time, the family removed from their country home to Fall River, Massachusetts, where Wixon continued to live as an adult with her sister, Bethia. In 1873, she was elected a member of the school board of that city, serving three years. Endorsed by the Democrats in 1890, she was again elected to that position. In 1903, she was appointed a special commissioner by Gov. John L. Bates.
For several years, Wixon had the editorial charge of the children's department of The Truth Seeker, a New York City-based freethought publication. She was a contributor to several magazines and newspapers, and at one time was a regular reporter on the staff of the Boston Sunday Record. Wixon wrote in prose and poetry. Her poem, "When Womanhood Awakes," is considered one of the most inspiring among the poems written in the behalf of women. Her hymns include, "Come sound the praise of truth's fair name", "Dare to be true, whatever your station", "Her merry voice is strangely hushed", and "What of thy life, O friend of mine". Among her published books were, Apples of Gold (Boston, 1876); Sunday Observance (1883); All In a Lifetime (Boston, 1884); The Story Hour (New York, 1885); and Summer Days at Onset (Boston, 1887), besides tracts and pamphlets. One of her books, Right Living, a treatise on ethics, was used by many colleges and schools, both in the United States and in England.
Wixon was an ardent supporter of all reformatory measures. She lectured on moral reform and educational topics, and was interested in scientific matters. She was a member of the executive council of the Woman's National Liberal Union, whose first convention was held in Washington, D.C. in February, 1890. It was her suggestion to Gov. William Russell, and her able representation of the need of women as factory inspectors in Massachusetts, that caused the appointment of two women to that position in 1891. In 1892, she organized the Woman's Educational and Industrial Club, serving as president in 1901. Also in 1892, she made a tour of Europe, studying principally the tariff question upon her return, her opinions, published in Fall River, aroused interest and discussion. She served as president of the Humboldt Scientific Society and president of the Woman's Educational and Industrial Society, of Fall River. She was a member of the Woman's Relief Corps, the Clio Club, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Natural History Club. She was elected a member of the committee on woman's industrial advancement for World's Columbian Exposition (1893), in the inventors' department.
Death and legacy
Wixon died at her home in Fall River, August 28, 1912.
The Susan H. Wixon School, in Fall River, was named in her honor.

The Łęczyca Royal Castle is a medieval castle situated in Łęczyca, Poland. The castle was erected by Casimir III the Great as a fortification during 1357–1370.
History
Immediately after its completion, the Castle became a residence of king Casimir the Great, and then was the seat of the governor of Łęczyca. In 1406 it was burned by the Teutonic Knights and rebuilt in the following years to serve as a place of a conference in 1409, where decisions were taken in connection with the approaching war with the Order. After the Battle of Grunwald many of the Teutonic Knights were incarcerated here. In subsequent years, four diets were held here (1420, 1448, 1454 and 1462), and the castle became the seat of the king Casimir IV Jagiellon during another war with the Order (1454-1466).
After a great fire in the second half of the 15th century the castle remained in ruins till the early 1560s. Then, in 1563–1565, Jan Lutomirski, Grand Treasurer of the Crown completely rebuilt the castle. The cost of the entire project amounted to nearly 3,000 florins, derived from the royal treasury. The disasters that struck the stronghold in the first half of the 17th century helped the Swedish General Robert Douglas, Count of Skenninge to take the castle, which was defended by starosta Jakub Olbrycht Szczawiński, during the Deluge in 1655. The destruction was completed in 1707 during another Swedish occupation.
Over the next years local residents used the remains of the castle as a source of building materials. After the World War II, the castle became the seat of the scout troop, and in 1964 reconstruction started.

The South River is a tributary of the Black River, approximately long, in southeastern North Carolina in the United States.
It rises 2 miles northeast of Falcon, at the border of Sampson and Cumberland counties at the confluence of Mingo Swamp and the smaller Black River. The smaller Black River flows 30 miles from northeastern Harnett County, in Angier and approximately 25 mi (40 km) south of Raleigh. The smaller Black River flows south-southeast past Benson, then south-southwest, passing west of Dunn. East of Fayetteville, the South River turns south-southeast and joins the larger Black River near Ivanhoe approximately 30 mi (48 km) northwest of Wilmington.
The South River forms much of the western border of Sampson County, as well as the eastern borders of Bladen County and Cumberland County.
Fishing
The South River is home to a wide variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, chain pickerel, various species of sunfish, longnose gar, and catfish. To navigate through the river, a kayak or a small johnboat is recommended.

In architecture, a daylight factor (DF) is the ratio of the light level inside a structure to the light level outside the structure. It is defined as:
DF = (Ei / Eo) x 100%
where,
Ei = illuminance due to daylight at a point on the indoors working plane,
Eo = simultaneous outdoor illuminance on a horizontal plane from an unobstructed hemisphere of overcast sky.
To calculate Ei, requires knowing the amount of outside light received inside of a building. Light can reach a room via through a glazed window, rooflight, or other aperture via three paths:
Direct light from a patch of sky visible at the point considered, known as the sky component (SC),
Light reflected from an exterior surface and then reaching the point considered, known as the externally reflected component (ERC),
Light entering through the window but reaching the point only after reflection from an internal surface, known as the internally reflected component (IRC).
The sum of the three components gives the illuminance level (typically measured in lux) at the point considered:
Illuminance = SC + ERC + IRC
The daylight factor can be improved by increasing SC (for example placing a window so it "sees" more of the sky rather than adjacent buildings), increasing ERC (for example by painting surrounding buildings white), increasing IRC (for example by using light colours for room surfaces). In most rooms, the ceiling and floor are a fixed colour, and much of the walls are covered by furnishings. This gives less flexibility in changing the daylight factor by using different wall colours than might be expected meaning changing SC is often the key to good daylight design.
Architects and engineers use daylight factors in architecture and building design to assess the internal natural lighting levels as perceived on working planes or surfaces. They use this information to determine if light is sufficient for occupants to carry out normal activities. The design day for daylight factor calculations is based on the standard CIE overcast Sky for 21 September at 12:00pm, and where the Ground Ambient light level is 11921 Lux. CIE being the Commission Internationale de l´Eclairage, or International Commission on Illumination.
Calculating daylight factors requires complex repetition of calculations and thus is generally undertaken using a complex software product such as Radiance. This is a suite of tools for performing lighting simulation, which includes a renderer as well as many other tools for measuring simulated light levels. It uses ray tracing to perform all lighting calculations. One failing in many of these calculations is that they are often completed without wall hangings or furniture against the walls. This can lead to higher predictions of the daylight factor than is correct.
To assess the effect of a poor or good daylight factor, one might compare the results for a given calculation against published design guidance. In the UK this is likely to be CIBSE Lighting Guide 10 (LG10-1999), which broadly bands average daylight factors into the following categories:
Under 2 – Not adequately lit – artificial lighting is required all of the time
Over 5 – Well lit – artificial lighting generally not required, except at dawn and dusk – but glare and solar gain may cause problems

The First Drakeford government was a Labour-led government formed after the resignation of Carwyn Jones as First Minister of Wales on 12 December 2018, and the subsequent appointment of Mark Drakeford in his place following a leadership contest. The government was also supported by the sole Welsh Liberal Democrat MS Kirsty Williams and the independent MS Dafydd Elis-Thomas. Drakeford's first term as First Minister is known for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Between May 2016 and December 2018 the senior tier of ministers were referred to as Cabinet Secretaries and the junior tier as Ministers, from the formation of this government they reverted to their previous titles of Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers respectively.
Following the 2021 Senedd election, Labour was re-elected to a sixth term with Mark Drakeford continuing as First Minister.

Warsan Shire (born 1 August 1988) is a British writer, poet, editor and teacher, who was born to Somali parents in Kenya. In 2013 she was awarded the inaugural Brunel University African Poetry Prize, chosen from a shortlist of six candidates out of a total 655 entries. Her words "No one leaves home unless/home is the mouth of a shark", from the poem "Conversations about Home (at a deportation centre)", have been called "a rallying call for refugees and their advocates".
Life and career
Born on 1 August 1988 in Kenya to Somali parents, Shire migrated with her family to the United Kingdom at the age of one. She has four siblings. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing. As of 2015, she primarily resides in Los Angeles, California.
In 2011, she released Teaching My Mother How To Give Birth, a poetry pamphlet published by flipped eye. Her full collection was released in 2016, also through flipped eye.
Shire has read her poetry in various artistic venues throughout the world, including in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, North America, South Africa and Kenya. Her poems have been published in various literary publications, including Poetry Review, Magma and Wasafiri. Additionally, Shire's verse has been featured in the collections Salt Book of Younger Poets (Salt, 2011), Ten: The New Wave (Bloodaxe, 2014), and New Daughters of Africa (edited by Margaret Busby, 2019). Her poetry has also been translated into a number of languages, including Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish and Estonian.
As of 2016, Shire is working on her first full-length poetry collection, having put out a limited-release pamphlet called Her Blue Body in 2015. She serves as the poetry editor at SPOOK magazine and she teaches poetry workshops both globally and online for cathartic and aesthetic purposes.
Shire's poetry featured prominently in Beyoncé's 2016 feature-length film Lemonade. Knowles-Carter's interest in using Shire's work was sparked with Shire's piece "For Women Who Are Difficult to Love". Beyoncé again featured Shire's poetry in her 2020 musical film Black Is King
Shire published Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head: Poems on 1 March 2022. It was reviewed in The New Yorker.
Shire was interviewed on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday by Sarah McCammon on 27 February 2022 to discuss her new book.
Influences
Shire uses not only her own personal experiences but also the experiences of people to whom she is close. She is quoted as saying: "I either know, or I am, every person I have written about, for or as. But I do imagine them in their most intimate settings." Her main interest is writing about and for people who are generally not heard otherwise, e.g. immigrants and refugees as well as other marginalized groups of people. Shire is also quoted as saying: "I also navigate a lot through memory, my memories and other people's memories, trying to essentially just make sense of stuff." As a first-generation immigrant, she has used her poetry to connect with her home country of Somalia, which she has never been to but which she describes as "a nation of poets". She uses her position as an immigrant herself to convey the lives of these peoples. Shire utilizes the influences of her close relatives, and family members and their experiences to depict in her poetry the struggles that they have all faced.
Awards and honours
Shire has received various awards for her art. In April 2013, she was presented with Brunel University's inaugural African Poetry Prize, an award earmarked for poets who have yet to publish a full-length poetry collection. She was chosen from a shortlist of six candidates out of a total 655 entries.
In October 2013, Shire was selected from a shortlist of six as the first Young Poet Laureate for London. The honour is part of the London Legacy Development Corporation's Spoke programme, which focuses on promoting arts and culture in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the surrounding area.
In 2014, Shire was also chosen as poet-in-residence of Queensland, Australia, liaising with the Aboriginal Centre for Performing Arts over a six-week period.
In June 2018 Shire was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in its "40 Under 40" initiative.
Her first full-length collection of poetry, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head, was shortlisted for the 2022 Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection and the 2023 Dylan Thomas Prize, and appeared on the longlist for the 2023 Griffin Poetry Prize.
Personal life
She lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband, Andres Reyes-Manzo, and their two young children.

Tenczyn Castle, also known as Tęczyn Castle, is a medieval castle in the village of Rudno in the Polish Jura, Poland. It was built as a seat of the powerful Tęczyński family. The castle fell into disrepair during the Deluge in mid-17th century, after being pillaged and burned by Swedish-Brandenburgian forces looking for the Polish Crown Jewels and rumored treasures of the Tęczyński family. Subsequently rebuilt, it again fell into disrepair after a major fire in the mid-18th century and remains in that state to this day.
The castle stands on the remnants of a Permian period lava stream, the highest hill of Garb Tenczyński (Castle Hill), which is 411 m above the sea level.
History
According to legend, Tynek Starża, a founding member of the Tęczyńskis, arrived in the area in the 9th century, founded Tyniec, and built a castle named after and for his daughter Tęcza (Rainbow).
The first mention of the stronghold in writing is dated to 24 September 1308, when King Władysław I the Elbow-high, who was hunting in the woods around Thanczin, issued a diploma to the Cistercian monastery in Sulejów. It is believed that the first wooden castle structure was erected around 1319 by Jan Nawój of Morawica, Castellan of Cracow. He also built the largest of the castle towers, called today the Nawojowa tower. The medieval castle included three additional round Gothic towers. Further expansion was carried out by Jan's son Jędrzej, governor of Cracow and Sandomierz, who erected the north-east part of the structure. He established a residence in the castle, dying there in 1368. Jędrzej is known as the first person to take the name Tęczyński. Jędrzej's son Jasko renewed and significantly expanded the castle, and founded a chapel within. The first recorded direct mention of the castle dates from this period. The king Władysław Jagiełło imprisoned some important Teutonic prisoners, captured during the Battle of Grunwald, in the castle. To commemorate this event one of the castle's turrets was named Grunwaldzka.
Within a short period of time, the Tęczyński family rose to great importance in Poland, holding 45 estates, of which 15 were near the castle. Around the middle of the sixteenth century, the castle was frequented by Mikołaj Rej, Jan Kochanowski, Piotr Kochanowski and other important figures of the Polish Renaissance. According to Bartosz Paprocki, Jan Tęczyński, Castellan of Wojnicz, "at great cost built a new castle in Tęczyn" in 1570. The new mannerist structure had three wings with a central courtyard that opened to the west and was adorned with Renaissance attics, cornices and arcades. It was surrounded by a curtain wall in the north, strengthened with a bastion entry (barbican). Two pentagonal bastions were erected in the south. After the reconstruction, the castle took the shape of an irregular polygon, measuring over 140 meters from east to west, and 130 meters from north to south. Italian-style gardens and vineyards stretched out below the castle. The last big expenditure on the castle was a thorough reconstruction of the castle chapel, completed in the early 17th century by Agnieszka Firlejowa née Tęczyńska. In 1637 Jan Magnus Tęczyński, the last representative of the family, died in the castle. His only daughter Izabela married Łukasz Opalinski.
In 1655, during the Deluge, a rumor was spread that Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski, Grand Marshal of the Crown, had hidden the Polish Crown Jewels in Tenczyn Castle. Swedish-Brandenburgian forces led by Kurt Christoph von Königsmarck captured the castle from a defence led by Captain Jan Dziula and slaughtered all of its defenders. When they did not find treasure, they left the fortress and burned it in July 1656. After the Deluge, the castle was for the most part rebuilt and partially inhabited. At the beginning of the 18th century, ownership of the Tenczyn estates was passed to Adam Mikołaj Sieniawski and later to Prince August Aleksander Czartoryski, who had married with Sieniawski's only daughter Maria Zofia. The castle was eventually passed to the Prince's daughter Izabela Lubomirska.
After the fire in 1768, the structure increasingly fell into disrepair. In 1783, the remains of Jan Magnus Tęczyński were moved from the castle chapel to a new tomb in St. Catherine's Church in Tenczynek. In 1816, the castle became the property of the Potocki family and remained in their hands until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
Plan of the castle
A hypothetical reconstruction of the castle's full layout was drawn based on the research of Władysław Łuszczkiewicz, Nikodem Pajzderski, Stanisław Polaczek, Bohdan Guerquin, Marian Kornecki, Teresa Małkowska-Holcerowa and Janusz Kurtyka. Identification of the premises was based on division acts from 1553 and 1733 and a drawing by Erik Dahlbergh from 1655.

was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Ehime Prefecture, Japan. He is the second wrestler to bear the shikona, or ring name, Asashio. He became the stablemaster of Takasago stable in 1915 while still active, and continued to run the stable after his retirement in 1919 until 1941, when he passed on the Takasago elder share to then ōzeki Maedayama. He died in 1962 at the age of 82.
Early life and career
Asashio was born in Saijō in the Ehime Prefecture. At the age of 20, it is said he had the strength to lift a load nearly three times his body weight, and was expected to become a sumo wrestler. He entered the Takasago stable and became the protege of coach Sanoyama (former ōzeki Asashio). He entered his first tournament in 1901 under the shikona, or ring name, but was later given the name , the former ring name of his mentor, when he was promoted to sekiwake.
He was a popular wrestler because he had the appearance of an ancient samurai and a sportsman attitude in the ring. He was so strong with his right hand grip that he earned the nickname , 'right-hand grip worth fifty thousand koku'. On the ninth day of the 1914 Summer tournament, he fought the unbeaten yokozuna Tachiyama. After a heated battle, Asashio collapsed on his torso and had to be placed under medical observation. Therefore the bout ended on a hold costing the tournament to Tachiyama. This match was highly regarded and Asashio was promoted to ōzeki after the tournament. As a makuuchi wrestler, Asashio had a record of 98 victories, 64 losses, 25 draws and 7 holds in twenty-six tournaments (including ten as ōzeki).
Retirement from sumo
In 1913, he had a dispute with another apprentice over who should succeed former sekiwake Takamiyama as stablemaster. The dispute ended up in court, but Asashio won the case and assumed the elder name Takasago under a two-name license, allowing him to run the stable and participate to tournaments as a wrestler. After retiring from the ring, he devoted himself to running his stable as the third generation Takasago. He trained yokozuna Minanogawa and Maedayama. In 1929 Akutsugawa, a former wrestler and coach at Takasago stable, encouraged Minanogawa to join his newly established Sadogatake stable. However Asashio did not want his promising rikishi to leave the stable and even proposed to change Minanogawa's shikona to his own of Asashio to obligate him to stay. Eventually a compromise was worked out and Minanogawa divided his time between the two stables. Asashio also became a director of the Japan Sumo Association, but submitted his resignation in 1932 after taking responsibility for the Shunjuen Incident. In December 1941, he handed over his stable and title to Maedayama. In 1950, at Maedayama's retirement ceremony, he made the final cut in the ōichōmage as a former stablemaster. Asashio died April 30 , 1961 at the age of 82.A stone monument was erected in the premises of the Omachi's Saijō shrine, in his hometown of Saijō, Ehime.

Yahoo! Games was a section of the Yahoo! website, launched on March 31, 1998, in which Yahoo! users could play games either with other users or by themselves. The majority of Yahoo! Games was closed down on March 31, 2014 and the balance was closed on February 9, 2016. Yahoo! announced that "changes in supporting technologies and increased security requirements for our own Yahoo! web pages, made it impossible to keep the games running safely and securely". It was then announced by Yahoo! that its Games section would be dissolved completely on May 13, 2016. However, the Yahoo! Games service is still available on Yahoo! Japan, along with Yahoo! Auctions.
Features
The games on the web site were typically Java applets or quick Flash games, although some titles required a local download. Many of the games that required a download contained TryMedia Adware. Yahoo! Games also included Yahoo! Video Games, which provides news, previews, and reviews of currently available or upcoming First Party games–and Yahoo! Games on Demand–which provided free demos and full-size downloads of full PC games for a charge.
The site featured an "All Star" system for users, in which a user could pay to get an All Star username. All Star users were able to get extra privileges on Yahoo! Games sites such as disabling pop-up ads. All Star users did not have playable games without downloading.
Yahoo! Games was built on Yahoo!'s acquisition of ClassicGames.com (created by Internet entrepreneur Joel Comm and programmer Eron Jokipii) in 1997. The last used Yahoo! Video Games section of the site was formerly known as Games Domain, from back when Yahoo! acquired the web site in 2003. As of May 14, 2016, Yahoo! Games held over 1,400 games, most of which were developed externally.

Up until March 2014, Yahoo! Games included a popular Internet chess server. Ten years earlier, in 2004, James Eade had recommended Yahoo!

Chess differed from more contemporary Internet chess servers in its complete lack of oversight regarding user conduct or chess engine use.

Yahoo! Chess was the subject of a song by the British rock band Half Man Half Biscuit on their 2008 album CSI:Ambleside. Entitled "Bad Losers on Yahoo! Chess", the song references a fictitious player, Dennis Bell of Torquay, Devon, who on losing a chess game signs out from the Yahoo! Chess server "Good game, Sir, do you want another bout? But Dennis ain't replying 'cos he's just signed out." The song also references Deep Blue.

Layshia Renee Clarendon (born May 2, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Clarendon is the first openly non-binary WNBA player, and the first active WNBA player to complete a top surgery.
Career
Clarendon completed their college career at the University of California, Berkeley in 2013. The 2012–2013 season saw them become a leader of the team and received national recognition for their abilities, culminating in their place as a finalist for the Senior Class Award.
According to Clarendon's coach Lindsay Gottlieb, "[Clarendon was] vocal in terms of helping us achieve those goals and being a leader off the court and talking to their teammates, but you're never necessarily going to notice that on the court."
For the 2012–2013 regular season, the Clarendon-led Bears lived up to expectations, compiling a 28–2 record (excluding the Pac-12 Tournament) and earning a 2nd seed in the NCAA tournament. Clarendon and the Bears also enjoyed post season success, resulting in the team's first Final Four appearance. The Bears lost in the national semifinals to Louisville.
USA National Team
Clarendon was named to the USA Women's U19 team which represented the US in the 2009 U19 World's Championship, held in Bangkok, Thailand in July and August 2009. Clarendon scored 4.5 points per game, and helped the USA team to an 8–1 record and the gold medal.
WNBA
Indiana Fever (2013–2015)
Clarendon was selected 9th overall in the 2013 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever. During Clarendon's rookie year, they played in 30 games and averaged just under 20 minutes per game. Clarendon played 3 years for the Fever helping make the playoffs in every year that they were part of the team. They reached the WNBA Finals in their last season with the Fever, falling just short of a title.
Atlanta Dream (2016–2018)
On May 2, the Fever traded Clarendon to the Atlanta Dream in exchange for a 2nd Round Pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft.
Clarendon immediately became the Dream's starting point guard in their first season – starting 32 out of 34 games. In their first start for the Dream, Clarendon set a new career-high with 19 points and grabbed six boards in 31 minutes of action against their former team – the Indiana Fever. They also had a career-high with 19 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists in the Dream's win over the Connecticut Sun.
On February 1, Clarendon signed a multi-year deal with the Dream - bringing them back to Atlanta for the 2017 season. Clarendon again had a fantastic season making their 1st All-Star game. At the All-Star game, Clarendon recorded 14 points and 10 assists. Clarendon also registered a "unofficial" triple double during the year when they recorded 15 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in Atlanta's overtime win over Phoenix. The league reviewed the stats and ultimately took away 2 assists and Clarendon's triple double was taken away.
During the 2018 season, Clarendon played 18 games with the Dream before being traded to the Connecticut Sun.
Connecticut Sun (2018–2019)
Clarendon joined the Sun midway through the season and played in 15 games for the Sun. They averaged 5.4 points per game and 2.7 assists. They scored a season-high 14 points in the Sun's victory over the Lynx on August 17.
Clarendon was hoping to be a key reserve for the Sun going into the 2019 season but their season got derailed after sustaining an ankle injury that required surgery. After surgery, Clarendon was expected to be out for three-to-four months. The Sun had a very successful season making it all the way to the WNBA Finals and Clarendon was hoping to make it back in time to play, but ultimately wasn't ready and healthy to play.
New York Liberty (2020–2021)
Clarendon signed with the New York Liberty on February 10. Coach Walt Hopkins stated that Clarendon "is an elite facilitator and floor general with an extremely high basketball IQ... 'not only leads vocally, but also by consistently modeling a tireless work ethic and respect for those around her. She is going to be a massive boon to our roster and our team culture – both on, and off of the court.'" Clarendon was expected to be a mentor to incoming #1 Draft Pick Sabrina Ionescu. When Ionescu went down with an ankle injury, Clarendon became a bigger part of the team. Clarendon stepped into a starting role with the Liberty and averaged career-highs in field goal percentage with 46.5% and points with 11.5. They also averaged 2.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per contest.
Clarendon made the 2021 Liberty roster, but only played 3 minutes in the Opening Night game vs the Indiana Fever. After failing to appear in the next two games for the Liberty, Clarendon was waived from the roster.
Minnesota Lynx (2021)
Clarendon signed a hardship contract with the Lynx on May 31 due to the Lynx falling under the roster number due to multiple injuries. Clarendon played that night for the Lynx and sparked a run to help the Lynx get their first win of the season. Clarendon finished with 12 points that game. Due to how hardship contracts work, Clarendon had to be released multiple times once the injured players became healthy. Unfortunately for the Lynx, they continued to have injuries to many players, which worked out well for Clarendon, as they continued to be signed to the Lynx. On July 2, 2021, Clarendon was able to sign with the Lynx on a Rest of the Season deal. Clarendon had a strong season for the Lynx, but struggled as the year ended with a right fibula injury. They finished the season averaging 10.4 points, 5.7 assists, and 3.1 rebounds.
During the 2022 offseason, Clarendon signed to return to Minnesota. On May 3, 2022, after going through all of training camp with the Lynx, Clarendon was waived and did not make the final roster.

Activism
In 2015, Clarendon won Outsports' "Female Hero of the Year", for using their platform in support of LGBTQ+ people in sports. Clarendon stated that they wish to "open closet doors for women across sports".
In 2017, Clarendon discussed the issues within the WNBA in regards to the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people. Clarendon stated that during their early career playing for the Indiana Fever, the team was attempting to include LGBTQ+ individuals by participating in a "Diversity Night" during Pride month, which Clarendon felt was confusingly named, as a way to avoid the true purpose of Pride month. As Clarendon began playing for other teams, they stated that they saw the league becoming more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community.
In 2020, the WNBA and the Players Association branded the upcoming season "Social Justice Season", to emphasize issues including race, gun violence, LGBTQ+ advocacy. Clarendon was named as one of the players on the league's Social Justice Council, which was tasked with engaging community conversations, advocacy, and education on topics surrounding social justice.
The beginning of the 2020 season saw Clarendon involved in protest around the shooting of Breonna Taylor and the "Say her Name" campaign which had begun in 2014. Black Lives Matter was also a predominant message and was visible on the courts during the season.
The Commissioner of the WNBA, Cathy Engelbert, has shown her support for Clarendon by saying, "We are so proud that Layshia is part of the WNBA and we know that their voice and continued advocacy will not only support and help honor and uplift many other non-binary and trans people." The New York Liberty and the WNBA players' union have also shown their support for the transition. The owner of the New York Liberty team, Joseph Tsai released a statement supporting Clarendon saying that they are "a proud embodiment of our belief that our strength lies in our truth and no one should live constrained by societal boundaries."
Personal life
In 2017, Clarendon married Jessica Dolan. Clarendon and Dolan announced the birth of "#babyC" on December 25, 2020, and have yet to release the name or gender of the baby. Clarendon later stated they were raising "Baby C" with gender expansiveness.
Circa 2020, Clarendon came out as non-binary. Clarendon uses she/her, they/them and he/him pronouns. In 2015, Clarendon identified as "black, gay, female, non-cisgender and Christian".
In 2021, Clarendon underwent chest masculinization surgery to remove breast tissue.

Durland Hall, Rathbone Hall, Fiedler Hall and Engineering Hall are the names of four wings of the main building in the engineering complex on the campus of Kansas State University. The building is set on the old football practice field.
Additional engineering building include Ward Hall and the "Architecture" wing of Seaton Hall.
In 2016, an expansion to the original wings of the engineering complex was completed.
Construction and Naming
Durland Hall was the first wing constructed in 1976 at a cost of over $3 million. The building is named after Dean Merrill A. Durland, a Kansas State College graduate, professor, and Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, and Director of the Engineering Experiment Station.
Rathbone Hall was added on the north end of Durland Hall in 1982 at a cost of $8 million. The building is named after former dean of Engineering, Donald E. Rathbone.
Fiedler Hall was added onto the west end of Rathbone Hall and was completed in 2000. The building was dedicated on September 9, 2000 to George and Alice Fiedler. George was an inductee into the Kansas State Engineering Hall of Fame.
Other Complex History
In the winter of 2007 the second floor Student Study Room was built and replaced the former All Student Lounge area. This opened in the Spring of 2008 along with the Cafe-Q on the first floor that had been constructed the previous fall.
Fiedler and Rathbone Halls were heavily damaged, suffering broken windows and collapsed roofing structures due to an EF4 tornado on June 11, 2008.
Facilities
The Chemical Engineering computer laboratory located within the Durland wing is a common meeting ground for many chemical engineers to discuss class developments, as well as to converse with members of the faculty.
The three Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering computer laboratories located within Rathbone and Ward Halls are a common meeting ground for many Mechanical and Nuclear engineers, as well as members of the faculty. These labs are often considered among the best on campus.
Fiedler Hall is also home to Fiedler Library, which is an offshoot of Hale, the main campus library. In addition to serving as a "sub-library" it provides the students with a more focused line of literature that is more aligned with the overall nature of the Engineering complex.

Split Costs is a 2016 dramatic short film, written and directed by Jeffrey B. Palmer. The film premiered at the 2016 Bluestocking Film Festival in Portland, Maine, where it received an Audience Choice Award. Since then, the film has received 15 awards, and has 14 nominations.
Cast
Mela Hudson as Emma
Tori Hall as Judy
Jane Harte as Brenda
Lauren Kirby as Helen
Plot
The story begins in Boston, Massachusetts in the dead of winter, where Emma (Mela Hudson) picks up a young woman named Judy (Tori Hall), for a ride share to Western Massachusetts so that Judy can surprise her girlfriend Helen (Lauren Kirby), and Emma can hopefully score some money from her mother Brenda (Jane Harte). The two women begin their journey listening to mix tapes, and forcing small talk. Emma hits a pothole on the highway and the glove compartment opens to reveal a gun. Judy becomes extremely uncomfortable and confronts Emma about the weapon. Emma tells Judy that she has to protect herself due to the fact that she lives in her car, and the two get into an argument. The argument dwindles down as the car's check engine light comes on and forces them to stop for a while.
They sit down at a Panera Bread, and Emma tries to call her mother, but there is no answer. As they finish their meals and head back to the car, Judy offers to look under the hood to see what is causing it to overheat. She explains that the car needs oil and coolant, and offers to chip in for this as payment for the ride. As Judy walks off, Emma tries her mother again, but there is still no answer.
As they continue driving towards their destinations, now with heat in the car, they celebrate and Emma expresses her gratitude. Their relationship improves and they become closer to each other. But as Emma arrives in front of Helen's apartment, and says goodbye to her new friend, she is overwhelmed with the feeling of loneliness once again.
Judy quietly sneaks through the door and sits down at the dining room table as she listens to her girlfriend sing in the shower. Without warning, another voice can be heard. Judy suddenly realizes that Helen is being unfaithful and Judy decides to exact her revenge on an oversize Teddy Bear, hacking its head off with a kitchen knife. She arranges the bear's head, along with an upside down box of baked goods she brought as a gift, on the table and leaves.
Emma arrives at her mother's motel where she takes a swig of an alcoholic beverage, and smokes a cigarette before trying the door. When her mother doesn't answer after a moment of knocking, Emma decides to crawl through the window. Once inside, she finds her mother's cellphone on the nightstand, and then proceeds to rummage through her belongings in hopes of finding money. But an unexpected twist awaits her in the bathroom. As she turns the corner, her mother lies on the floor, a victim of a heroine overdose. Emma crumbles and falls to the floor, sobbing and trying to convince herself that her mother is just unconscious. After a moment of screaming for her mother to wake up, she leaves the motel room. Back in her car, she makes a phone call and sirens can be heard in the distance. Afterwards, Emma joins Judy at a cafe and they console each other.
Moments later they sit by a bridge and discuss throwing Emma's gun into the creek below. She steps up to the railing and throws the gun in the water. Emma rejoins Judy in the car and they decide to drive down south and get "umbrella drinks".
Reception
Richard Propes of The Independent Critic wrote in his review, "Excellent pacing and editing along with emotionally honest, and disciplined performances from both Mela Hudson and Tori Hall."
Laura MacLeod of Movie Critic Next Door said, "Utterly convincing ... a taut drama with dialog that hits all the right notes."
Jacqui Blue of Film Inquiry wrote, "Emma walks into a nightmare and her world is turned upside down. With a strong performance from Hudson, this point in Split Costs actually had me fighting back tears. I felt her pain as if it was mine."
Kirk Fernwood of One Film Fan's review said, "Formidable in its message, convincing in its execution, and deeply human in its raw portrayal of both the strength and frailty of relationships and their impact on our state of being ... another shining example of the much more grounded nature of stories found within independent cinema."
Accolades

In cryptography, 3-Way is a block cipher designed in 1994 by Joan Daemen. It is closely related to BaseKing; the two are variants of the same general cipher technique.
3-Way has a block size of 96 bits, notably not a power of two such as the more common 64 or 128 bits. The key length is also 96 bits. The figure 96 arises from the use of three 32 bit words in the algorithm, from which also is derived the cipher's name. When 3-Way was invented, 96-bit keys and blocks were quite strong, but more recent ciphers have a 128-bit block, and few now have keys shorter than 128 bits. 3-Way is an 11-round substitution–permutation network.
3-Way is designed to be very efficient in a wide range of platforms from 8-bit processors to specialized hardware, and has some elegant mathematical features which enable nearly all the decryption to be done in exactly the same circuits as did the encryption.
3-Way, just as its counterpart BaseKing, is vulnerable to related key cryptanalysis. John Kelsey, Bruce Schneier, and David Wagner showed how it can be broken with one related key query and about chosen plaintexts.

Parisian Solos is an album by American jazz pianist Jaki Byard consisting of several solo piano recordings. It was recorded in 1971 in Paris, France and was released on the Futura label.
Reception
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Ken Dryden stating: "This solo date in a Paris studio finds Jaki Byard in his usual jaunty mood at the piano, whether reviving a forgotten jazz tune like "Bugle Call Rag" (before it became a bluegrass standard), increasing the intensity of an often dull ballad "Besame Mucho," or revising "Willow Weep for Me" with the choppy approach that helped to make his sound so distinctive". (The AllMusic review is of the album's re-release edition, which features multiple bonus tracks.)
Track listing
All compositions by Jaki Byard except as indicated.
"A Tribute to Jimmy Slide" - 3:37
"Love Is Here to Stay" (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin) - 5:15
"Willow Weep for Me" (Ann Ronell) - 6:05
"Bugle Call Rag" (Billy Meyers, Jack Pettis, Elmer Schoebel) - 4:20
"When Lights Are Low" (Benny Carter) - 4:30

Summer Games II is an Olympic sports video game developed and published by Epyx in North America, and published by U.S. Gold in Europe, based on sports featured in the Summer Olympic Games. It is a sequel to Summer Games released by Epyx the previous year. Summer Games II was originally written for the Commodore 64 and ported to the Apple II, Atari ST, MS-DOS, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Amiga.
Gameplay
The game was presented as a virtual multi-sport carnival called the "Epyx Games" (there was no official IOC licensing in place) with up to 8 players each choosing a country to represent, and then taking turns competing in various events to try for a medal. World records could be saved to the game disk.
The game features the following eight events: Triple jump, High jump, Rowing, Javelin throw, Equestrian, Fencing, Kayaking, Cycling.
The game allows the player to compete in all of the events sequentially, compete in some events, choose just one event, or practice an event. This version also features both the opening and closing ceremonies, where the closing ceremonies features a "fan man", the flame extinguishing as the sky goes dark, a blimp passing by and some fireworks. Certain ports also allow for participants to compete in events from the original Summer Games events, but they had to have the original Summer Games diskette for this to happen.
Ports
The original Commodore 64 version of Summer Games II was created by Scott Nelson, Jon Leupp, Chuck Sommerville, Kevin Norman, Michael Kosaka, and Larry Clague and published in 1985. The same year saw an Apple II version, ported by John Stouffer, Jeff Webb, Doug Matson, Greg Broniak, Tim Grost, Matt Decker, Vera Petrusha, Ken Evans, Pat Findling, Dr. Keith Dreyer, and Chris Oesterling. It became a bestseller in the UK.
A year later it was ported to the IBM PC by Phil Suematsu, Jeff Grigg, Don Hill, and Jimmy Huey. Richard Wilcox and Steve Hawkes ported it to the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. In 1992 Adam Steele, Phillip Morris, and Dave Lowe ported it to the Atari ST and the Amiga.
Summer Games II was re-released on the Virtual Console in Europe on June 27, 2008 and in North America on March 16, 2009.
A port for the Atari Jaguar CD was under development by Teque London, but work on the port was discontinued sometime in 1995 and it was never released.
Reception
Summer Games II was Epyx's second best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987 after Winter Games. Ahoy! said that "the production values of Summer Games II are absolutely top of the line, even better than the original Summer Games". The magazine cited equestrian and fencing as the best events, and concluded that it "covers itself with glory from the familiar opening ceremony to the closing festivities. Put simply, if you own a Commodore 64, this disk is a must".

Cassia Creek is a stream in Cassia County, Idaho, United States, that is a tributary of the Raft River (a tributary of the Snake River).
Description
Rising in the Albion Mountains within the Sawtooth National Forest (about midway between the cities of Oakley and Malta) Cassia Creek flows easterly to quickly leave the national forest and then pass along the western edge of the unincorporataed community of Elba. It then flows northeasterly between the Albion Mountains (on northwest) and the Jim Sage Mountains (on the southeast), roughly paralleling Idaho State Highway 77 Spur, until it passes south of the unincorporated community of Connor.
From Connor, the creek flows easterly again (with the Cotterel Mountains on the north and the Jim Sage Mountains on the south) out of the mountains and into the Raft River Valley as it roughly parallels Idaho State Highway 77 (SH‑77). The creek then flows northeasterly in the Raft River Valley (still roughly paralleling SH‑77) to pass along the southeastern edge of city of Malta. Finally, it flows northerly through agricultural land in the Raft River Valley to its mouth on the Raft River, about north–northeast of Malta. (The Raft River flows north to the Snake River, a tributary of the Columbia River.)
Most of Cassia Creek is along a section of the California Trail. The creek is a recommended fishing water by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

This is a complete list of United States senators during the 115th United States Congress listed by seniority, from January 3, 2017, to January 3, 2019. It is a historical listing and will contain people who have not served the entire two-year Congress on account of resignations, deaths, or expulsions.
In this Congress, Bill Cassidy is the most junior senior senator. Jeff Sessions was the most senior junior senator at the start of this Congress, but resigned on February 8, 2017, to become United States Attorney General. Maria Cantwell has remained the most senior junior senator since.
Order of service is based on the commencement of the senator's first term. Behind this is former service as a senator (only giving the senator seniority within his or her new incoming class), service as vice president, a House member, a cabinet secretary, or a governor of a state. The final factor is the population of the senator's state.

// e.g. "%.50g", we get "0.2000000000000000111022302462515654042363167".
// On the other hand, if we set the precision too low, we lose
// significant digits when printing numbers that actually need them.
// It turns out there is no precision value that does the right thing
// for all numbers.
//
// Our strategy is to first try printing with a precision that is never
// over-precise, then parse the result with strtod() to see if it
// matches. If not, we print again with a precision that will always
// give a precise result, but may use more digits than necessary.
//
// An arguably better strategy would be to use the algorithm described
// in "How to Print Floating-Point Numbers Accurately" by Steele &
// White, e.g. as implemented by David M. Gay's dtoa(). It turns out,
// however, that the following implementation is about as fast as
// DMG's code. Furthermore, DMG's code locks mutexes, which means it
// will not scale well on multi-core machines. DMG's code is slightly
// more accurate (in that it will never use more digits than
// necessary), but this is probably irrelevant for most users.
//
// Rob Pike and Ken Thompson also have an implementation of dtoa() in
// third_party/fmt/fltfmt.cc. Their implementation is similar to this
// one in that it makes guesses and then uses strtod() to check them.
// Their implementation is faster because they use their own code to
// generate the digits in the first place rather than use snprintf(),
// thus avoiding format string parsing overhead. However, this makes
// it considerably more complicated than the following implementation,
// and it is embedded in a larger library. If speed turns out to be
// an issue, we could re-implement this in terms of their
// implementation.

Yechiel Eckstein (; July 11, 1951 – February 6, 2019) was an Israeli American rabbi who founded International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in 1983 and led it for many years. The objectives of the organisation were to support Jews in need of financial help, to promote emigration of Jews to Israel, and to support poor soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces. In 2003, it was listed as the second-largest charitable foundation in Israel by Ha'aretz.
In 2010 Newsweek listed him in the Top 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America. He was awarded Hadassah's first Man of Distinction in 2010, and the Raoul Wallenberg Award in 2014. He was listed in the "Jerusalem Post's Top 50 Most Influential Jews" of 2014 and 2015.
Early life and education
Born in Winthrop, Massachusetts, Eckstein was the son of the Rabbi and psychologist Dr. Simon "Sy" Eckstein (1919–2016) and his wife Belle Eckstein (née Hirschman) of Tampa, Florida. In 1952, when he was just a year old, Eckstein moved with his family to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, as his father accepted a newly created rabbinic post as the Chief Rabbi of Ottawa, where he was raised, as his father oversaw four synagogues, two which eventually merged to form Congregation Beth Shalom. He was a graduate of Yeshiva University High School for Boys.
Eckstein served as a faculty member at Columbia University, the Chicago Theological Seminary and the Northern Baptist Seminary.
The Fellowship
After serving as national co-director of inter-religious affairs for the Anti-Defamation League, Eckstein founded the Holyland Fellowship of Christians and Jews in 1983 to help Christians and Jews work together on projects promoting the safety and security of Jews in Israel and around the world. The organization was renamed the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in 1991. Its first goal is to provide material aid to needy Jewish families and the elderly, for example, by helping them buy food and medicine. A secondary mission is promoting Jewish emigration to Israel. The third is supporting the Israeli military by aiding poor Israeli soldiers.
When Eckstein started the Fellowship, he had no salary, no medical benefits and a pregnant wife. He worked part-time as a rabbi. In the early years, he received the majority of his donations from fellow Jews. Often these gifts were grudgingly given. "I don't know what you're doing, and I don't know if I like what you're doing," one Jewish philanthropist from Chicago said to him, but he nonetheless donated. But from the mid-1990s, he became popular with Evangelical Christians, leading to growth of the charity each year. In December 2003, the I.F.C.J. was listed as the second-largest charitable foundation in the country by Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz.
Eckstein was also known for private donations to the Israeli military, through the US-American lobby group "Friends of the IDF".
Personal life and death
Eckstein held dual citizenship in the U.S. and Israel, having become an Israeli citizen in 2002. He had three daughters with his first wife, Bonnie Siegman; the couple subsequently divorced. His daughter Yael Eckstein became president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews after Eckstein's death. Eckstein and his second wife, Joelle (née Medina), lived in Jerusalem.
He recorded six CDs as a Hasidic singer. He was a member of Kol Salonika, The Y'DID Singers and The Rabbis' Sons. In the 1990s Yechiel co-led a band called "Ashira" with Chicago–based band leader Don Cagen.
He died on February 6, 2019, after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Due to Eckstein's associations with the Christian right-wing and evangelical movement, he was controversial in the Jewish community, especially among liberal Jews from the United States and among Orthodox Jews.
Awards
In June 2010 he was listed by Newsweek magazine in the Top 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America. In July 2010, Hadassah awarded him its Man of Distinction award. In 2014, he was awarded the Raoul Wallenberg Award by the JDC. He was also listed in the "Jerusalem Post's Top 50 Most Influential Jews" of 2014 and 2015.

The Governing Body of Jesus College, Oxford, (one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England) has the ability to elect "distinguished persons" to Honorary Fellowships. Under the statutes of the college, Honorary Fellows cannot vote at meetings of the Governing Body and do not receive financial reward. They can be called upon to help decide whether to dismiss or discipline members of academic staff (including the Principal).
The first three Honorary Fellows, all former students of the college, were elected in October 1877: John Rhys, the first Jesus Professor of Celtic who was later an Official Fellow (1881–95) and Principal (1895–1915); the historian John Richard Green; and the poet Lewis Morris. Three other former Principals (John Christie, Sir John Habakkuk and Sir Peter North) have been elected Honorary Fellows on retirement. Many Honorary Fellows had previous academic connections with the college, either as Fellows or Old Members (former students), but others did not. Some of those without previous connections were distinguished Welshmen – Jesus College has had strong links with Wales since its establishment in 1571. For example, the Welsh businessman Sir Alfred Jones was elected in 1902, the Welsh judge Sir Samuel Evans was elected in 1918, and the Welsh opera singer Bryn Terfel was elected in 2008. The Welsh politician David Lloyd George was elected to an Honorary Fellowship in 1910 when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wrote to John Rhys, the Principal at the time, to thank the college for the honour, saying:
The college noted in 1998 that the number of Honorary Fellows was markedly below the average of other Oxford colleges and it adopted a more methodical approach to increase numbers. Seven Honorary Fellows were elected that year, followed by another five in 1999. The first woman to be elected as an Honorary Fellow was the journalist and broadcaster Francine Stock, an Old Member of the college, in 2007. The Honorary Fellows have included two Old Members who later became Prime Minister of their respective countries: Norman Manley, who studied at Jesus College as a Rhodes Scholar and who was Chief Minister of Jamaica from 1955 to 1962, and Harold Wilson, who was twice British Prime Minister (1964–70 and 1974–76). As of 2015, the longest-serving Honorary Fellow is Frederick Atkinson, elected in 1979.
Honorary Fellows
The abbreviations used in the "Link" column denote the person's connection with the college before election as an Honorary Fellow:
CL – A college lecturer: Joliffe taught students at Jesus College, but he was not one of the Fellows
F – A former Fellow of the college, included on the list of Principals and Fellows
OM – Old Member of the college, included on the list of alumni
P – Principal, also included on the list of Principals and Fellows
A dash denotes that the person had no previous academic link with the college.

An election to the County Council of London took place on 5 March 1904. The council was elected by First Past the Post with each elector having two votes in the two-member seats. The Progressive Party retained control of the council, with a slightly reduced majority.
Campaign
Since the 1901 London County Council election, the electorate for the council had increased by 19,221, the increase being in the outlying boroughs, while most inner city boroughs lost voters. Turnout was also reported as being higher in the outer boroughs. All the seats were contested other than Deptford and Greenwich, which were held uncontested by the Progressive Party.
The main issue at the election was education policy, as the London School Board was to be abolished and its powers absorbed by the council. The Times argued that the Conservative Party candidates had undoubted loyalty to the Church of England, whereas the Progressive Party candidates might have sympathy towards dissenters. Other issues were the attitude of candidates towards the employment of Chinese immigrants in South Africa, and the purchase of the county council of some rails manufactured in Belgium.
Results
The Progressive Party lost one seat, while the Municipal Reform Party gained four, and independents fell from four seats to one. Nine members of the School Board won seats on the new council.

Apalachia Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Hiwassee River in Cherokee County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The dam is the lowermost of three dams on the river owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which built the dam in the early 1940s to provide emergency power for aluminum production during World War II. While the dam is in North Carolina, an underground conduit carries water from the dam's reservoir to the powerhouse located downstream across the state line in Polk County, Tennessee. The dam and associated infrastructure were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
Apalachia Dam is named for the crossroads community of Old Apalachia, located near the dam site in North Carolina, and the community's L&N railroad stop, known simply as Apalachia, which was further downstream on the Tennessee side of the state line.
Location
Apalachia Dam is located nearly upstream from the mouth of the Hiwassee River, which flows northwestward through Northern Georgia and Western North Carolina before emptying into Chickamauga Lake in East Tennessee. The dam is situated near the center of a scenic and relatively isolated valley sliced by the river as it winds its way through the southwestern fringe of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Unicoi Mountains rise to the north of the dam, and the Nantahala National Forest surrounds the dam and its reservoir on all sides.
Apalachia Dam's powerhouse is located downstream from the dam at the base of a steep-walled gorge formed as the river flows between two mountain formations. The dam's conduit— all but of which is underground— passes behind the cliffs on the south side of the river.
Capacity
Apalachia Dam is a concrete gravity diversion-type dam high and long, and has a generating capacity of 93,600 kilowatts. The dam's spillway is controlled by 10 radial gates with a combined discharge of . Apalachia Lake stretches for to the base of Hiwassee Dam, and contains of shoreline and of water surface.
A steel penstock connects the reservoir intake at the dam site to the conduit. The conduit emerges from a cliffside overlooking the dam's powerhouse, where it splits into two smaller tunnels which carry the water to a valve house. From the valve house, the water drops through two steel penstocks to the powerhouse turbines below. The total elevation drop from lake surface to power house discharge is to , depending on the lake level.
Background and construction
Private and public entities had been aware of the hydroelectric potential of the Hiwassee River since the early 1900s. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified several potential dams sites, including Apalachia, in the 1920s, and by the time the Tennessee Valley Authority was formed in 1933, several companies had bought up land and flowage rights in the Hiwassee Valley. TVA took the initiative in the valley, however, with the construction of Hiwassee Dam in the late 1930s. By 1941, the outbreak of World War II in Europe brought a drastic increase in the demand for electricity— especially to support aluminum production in the Tennessee Valley— and TVA quickly put together a plan to build several new dams, including Apalachia, all of which were authorized July 16, 1941. Work began on Apalachia the following day.
The construction of Apalachia Dam and its reservoir required the purchase of of land, most of which was in possession of three private entities— the Union Power Company, the Hiwassee-Nolichucky Power Company, and the Hiwassee River Power Company, with Union holding nearly half of the . After the initial purchase, the Hiwassee-Nolichucky Power Company sold TVA an additional , nearly tripling the reservation size. Land for the conduit was transferred by the U.S. Forest Service. Since most of the land was in possession of private companies, only 22 families and of roads had to be relocated.
The construction of the conduit was necessary to exploit the stretch of river immediately downstream from the dam site in which the river drops on average per mile. The conduit's tunnel was built using blasting and a drill jumbo, and its surge tank was excavated into the rock near the valve house.
Apalachia Dam was completed September 15, 1942, and its gates were closed February 14, 1943. The tunnel was completed April 1, 1943. The dam's first generator went online September 22, 1943, and a second went online November 17 of the same year. The total cost of the project was just over $24 million (equivalent to $ in ).
Ecology
The construction of the Apalachia Dam eliminated the natural water flow on the Hiwassee River, causing the decline of Ruth's golden aster (Pityopsis ruthii), a major reason why the plant was placed on the Endangered Species List in 1985.

Frazer William Down McLaren (born October 29, 1987) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger who played in National Hockey League (NHL) for the San Jose Sharks and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Playing career
McLaren played five seasons of junior hockey in the Western Hockey League, mostly for the Portland Winter Hawks, but playing 48 of his 318 games for the Moose Jaw Warriors following a mid-season trade during the 2007–08 season. He was drafted after his fourth year of junior hockey, being taken in the seventh round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, 203rd overall.
McLaren played a full season for the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League in the 2008–09 season, collecting 181 penalty minutes while being used as an enforcer. Despite missing the cut to make the NHL squad at the beginning of the 2009–10 season, McLaren was recalled to play in the San Jose Sharks' second game, making his NHL debut on October 3, 2009. He also scored his first NHL point, coming on a secondary assist of Benn Ferriero's first NHL goal.
On November 29, 2009, McLaren scored his first NHL goal against Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks. On June 30, 2011, McLaren signed a one-year contract extension with the San Jose Sharks.
During the 2012–13 season, on January 31, 2013, McLaren was claimed off waivers from the Sharks by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In July 2013, McLaren signed a two-year contract with the Leafs.
During the 2013–14 season, on March 3, 2014, McLaren was placed on waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs, well into the first season of his new contract with the Leafs. This move was widely seen as an attempt to free up cap space for the return of Dave Bolland, with the hopes that McLaren will clear waivers and join the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
On August 24, 2015, McLaren signed a one-year contract with the San Jose Sharks, marking his second tenure with the organization.

Wesseler () was a German company from Altenberge that manufactured, repaired and sold agricultural machines. It was founded in the 19th century as a smithy that specialised in agricultural products in the 1930s. During the agricultural industrialisation in Germany after the Second World War, the H. Wesseler oHG became a major tractor company in NRW. Between 1936 and 1966, Wesseler produced approximately 3600 tractors. In Germany, the brand name Wesseler was used, while Wesseler tractors sold in the Netherlands and Belgium were named Feldmeister and Vewema. In the second half of the 1960s, when the demand for tractors diminished, Wesseler, later known as the H. Wesseler KG, stopped the tractor production and specialised in selling and repairing Fiatagri tractors until they registered as insolvent in 1988.
History
Beginning – Monetary reform
In 1879, Bernhard Wesseler from Darup purchased a building with surrounding land in the heath of Kümper near Altenberge. He became a farmer and opened a smithy. It was expanded for the first time in 1909. Wesselers son Heinrich joined the company in 1911 or 1912, and started repairing and selling agricultural machines. Until 1936, the company Schmitz was the most important competitor. In the same year, Wesseler bought all the agricultural machine parts from Schmitz; Schmitz has been focussing on manufacturing trailers since then. 12 employees worked for Wesseler in 1936, the first tractor prototype was built in the same year. It had a ladder frame and a hopper-cooled engine. This prototype was improved and Wesseler showed it to the public in 1938. No more than 20 tractors of this type were produced until 1940. Today, no pre-war Wesseler tractors exist anymore. Before the Second World War, Wesseler was still a company specialised in smithy tasks rather than a tractor manufacturer, so that a new forge was built in 1939.
During the Second World War, some Wesseler employees were conscripted, the tractor production was halted. Wesseler also used forced labour, two polish workers had to work in the plant. In the early war years, the company mainly repaired bicycles. Caused by the war, neither fuel nor production material was available, so that old military trucks and wood gas motors had to be used to produce new tractors in the first post war years. The regular tractor production using the frameless block construction method began after the monetary reform in West Germany in 1948. At this time, Wesseler had 10 employees.
Economical upswing during the tractor demand period
The economical upswing of Wesseler began with the monetary reform. Wesseler gained profit from the huge tractor demand in Germany in the 1950s. The sons of Heinrich Wesseler, Ludger and Paul already worked for the company back then. At first it was planned to turn Wesseler into a Fahr dealer, due to Fahr supply problems, Wesseler also sold tractors of other brands such as Normag and Schlüter. Wesseler also sold their own tractors. Later, Wesseler became an important Claas dealer and focused on producing their own tractors. In 1952, a tractor workshop was built, it was increased in size in 1959. However, Wesseler still manufactured other goods such as tableware. A BP petrol station was a part of the Wesseler plant.
An important occurrence was the DLG-show 1949 in Frankfurt, where the first MWM diesel engine was bought. Before the tractors were fitted with MWM engines, Wesseler used Deutz engines, which had a bad durability due to bad lubrication oil quality. MWM engines could also use the bad lubrication oil, they became the standard diesel engines of Wesseler tractors; starting in 1953, Wesseler offered every tractor type with a water-cooled and an air-cooled MWM engine of the same power output. Prometheus gearboxes were used first, later, Wesseler switched to ZF gearboxes. Those used to be progressive in the 1950s as well as the direct injection MWM diesel engines.
Soon, Wesseler became an exhibitor at several fairs in Germany. A Wesseler dealer network was established, the main distribution areas were the regions around Münster in Westfalen and Oldenburg, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. For the Dutch market, Wesseler tractors got an orange painting and the brand name Feldmeister. Primarily, 20 PS tractors were sold in the Netherlands. 800 Feldmeister were sold until 1967. The Belgian market demanded more powerful tractors. In the viniculture regions Eifel and Mosel some one-cylinder narrow gauge models with up to 15 PS were sold, some tractors even made it to Hesse and France.
Zenith and fall
In 1958, Wesseler had 60 employees which worked in a two-shift-system. This number soon reached 80 and in 1960, Wesseler had 120 employees. Most employees were from Altenberge and the surrounding areas, some also came from the Netherlands and Belgium. In the early 1950s, some employees built houses next to the Wesseler plant, Wesseler themselves also built houses there for their employees in 1962. When Wesseler was at the economical zenith in the second half of the 1950s, one tractor left the plant per day. At first, Wesseler kept up with trends such as the equipment carrier tractor but they did not invest in new production machines for the plant. This led to an expensive production which could not compete with the inexpensive production of other tractor manufacturers. Wessler had to register as insolvent, the production was stopped in 1966, when Wesseler had 70 employees. The last tractor, a WL 222 was sold in June 1967. During three decades, 3600 tractors had been produced which makes Wesseler the fourth-largest tractor manufacturer of NRW.
Before the registration of insolvency, Wesseler already tried to change the concept of the company in late 1965. Paul Wesseler wanted to stop the tractor production and form Wesseler into a Fiat dealer. This happened in 1967, when Wesseler became the H. Wesseler KG. The company soon became important for the region again as a Fiat dealer, a new tractor workshop was built in 1973, and expanded in 1982. Wesseler was the second-largest Fiat dealer in Germany. At the end of the 1980s, Wesseler had to face major problems: A huge and expensive spares store and too many employees. In February 1988, Wesseler had to register als insolvent again. So far, 2000 Fiat tractors had been sold. After the suspension of the insolvency proceedings, a newly founded agricultural machine company rented the Wesseler plant in 1995. It moved to a new building in 2003. Since 2004, the tractor museum of Altenberge has been renting the Wesseler plant, which has been an LWL memorial since 2010. The Wesseler factory was sold by the owner family to a private investor in 2017. The association then had to liquidate the museum inventory. The association has now rented the former forge and exhibited some Wesseler tractors.
Distribution
Brand names
In Germany, Wesseler tractors were sold as Wessler and Wesseler Ackermeister. In the Netherlands and Belgium, mainly the brand name Feldmeister was used, about 800 Feldmeister were sold. In Belgium the brand names Ackermeister and Wesseler-Benz were used as well. In the Netherlands, the brand names Vewema and Westfalia were also used. The name depended on the local Wesseler importer.
Wesseler dealers
In Germany, Wesseler tractors were sold for DM 5.000 up to DM 10.000, depending on the model and power of the tractor. Wesseler had a branch office in Saerbeck since 1966. Some of the external Wesseler traders were these:
Hausberger in Trier / Germany
Wirtz in Gangelt / Germany
Weitz in Linnich / Germany
Goudland Tractorploegenfabriek in Echt / Netherlands
Roefs’ Machinenhandel in Venlo / Netherlands, brand name Westfalia
Vewema N.V. in Gorinchem / Netherlands, brand name Vewema
Etienne Decaupere Landbouwmachienenfabrik in Lichtervelde / Belgium, brand name Feldmeister and Wesseler, until 1954
Vanderpere in Lichtervelde / Belgium, brand name Wesseler-Benz, since 1954
Gebr. Timmermans P.V.B.A. in Tielt / Belgium, brand name Ackermeister
Coöp. Centrale Vereinigung Landbouwbelang G.A. in Roermond / Netherlands, the following tractors were sold with the brand name Feldmeister:
12 PS for DM 4.295
18 PS for DM 5.045
24 PS for DM 5.990
28 PS for DM 7.085
36 PS for DM 8.010
40 PS for DM 10.250
Tractor production
In the late 1930s, Wesseler built not more than 20 tractors with a ladder frame and hopper-cooled engine, the rated power was used as the model name. This system was kept until the mid-1950s. Wesseler bought engines and gearboxes from other companies, while the rest of the tractor parts such as axles, bearings, hydraulics, hoods, wings and fuel tanks were produced in the Wesseler plant. The customers had to order the tractors first before they were produced, later, customers could purchase already produced tractors. Wesseler tractors had many standard fittings such as starter motors and lead-acid batteries, the customers could also order a lot of extra accessories like front loaders, three-point linkages, roofs and foldable headlights. The Dutch Wessler dealer C. C. V. Landbouwbelang G.A on the other hand ordered tractors without lead-acid batteries. Tractors with rated power outputs of up to were produced. Wesseler never used mass production, also neither plans nor mechanical drawings were used to build the tractors. No applies for patents were made. Today, around 300 Wesseler are registered as street-legal vehicles in Germany.
Tractor types
The type namings were made depending on the PS-number as described above first. Starting in 1953, a W was put into the type name for Wesseler wassergekühlt (water-cooled). Air-cooled models were given the letters WL for Wesseler luftgekühlt (air-cooled). Equipment carrier tractors got the type code WLG for Wesseler luftgekühlt Geräteträger (air-cooled equipment carrier), narrow gauge models have the name WLS Wesseler luftgekühlt schmalspur (air-cooled narrow gauge). The PS-number followed the letters. Some extra letters were used to mark extras: H was used for Hochradschlepper; this means that the diameter of the wheels is larger than the diameter of standard wheels. L marks long wheelbase models, E stands for Extra version. Some models have a three-digit PS-number. In this case, the first digit reflects the cylinder amount of the engine while the last two digits resemble the power output of the engine. This three-digit system was used for later models with newer engines.
Example of the Wesseler tractors types
W 17 (water-cooled, 17 PS)
W 12 E (water-cooled, 12 PS, extra version)
W 12 H (water-cooled, 12 PS, large wheel diameter version)
WL 12 (air-cooled, 12 PS)
WLG 12 (air-cooled equipment carrier tractor, 12 PS)
WLS 12 (air-cooled narrow gauge tractor, 12 PS)

Until 1953, Wesseler tractors sold under the Wesseler brand had a blue-grey painting with red rims and decorative stripes. From 1954, a leaf-green painting was used, and the red rim and decorative stripes colour was kept. Vewema tractors were painted in gentian blue; Feldmeisters had an orange painting. Wesseler used nitrocellulose lacquers.

An endocrine bone disease is a bone disease associated with a disorder of the endocrine system. An example is osteitis fibrosa cystica.
Mechanism
The thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, or adrenal glands, and the pancreas are parts of the endocrine system, and, therefore are associated with the endocrine bone disease. Some common endocrine disorders are hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Paget's disease, Osteoporosis, and diabetes. The thyroid gland produces thyroxin (T3, and T4) which is necessary for normal development of the nervous system. Its functions include: promoting growth, increasing basal metabolic rate and controlling body temperature. Adequate iodine intake is necessary for the production of thyroid hormone. According to Payton R. G. et al., a common disorder of the thyroid gland is hypothyroidism, which is more prevalent in women than in men. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include cold intolerance, weight gain, fatigue, anemia, difficulty concentrating, amenorrhea, bradycardia (low heart rate) and goiter. Another hormone that is secreted by Para follicular cells of the thyroid gland is calcitonin. Calcitonin works in an antagonistic fashion with parathyroid hormone (PTH): both regulate the level of calcium in the blood. Blood calcium level is tightly regulated by these two hormones. The cells of our bone that is involved in bone formation and bone breakdown is osteoblast and osteoclast respectively. Osteoclasts are cells of bones that promote bone demineralization or bone resorption. In contrast, Osteoblast promotes calcium absorption by the bone therefore, promoting bone mineralization and formation of new bones. Thus Calcitonin activates osteoblasts, therefore decrease blood calcium levels by decreasing bone breakdown (resorption) by inhibiting osteoclast. Whereas, PTH activates osteoclast and thereby increases blood calcium. The hormone produced by the thyroid gland has big impact on bone density, blood calcium levee. Abnormalities of the thyroid gland impact bone disease such as osteoporosis, a condition that is common in women but men can be diagnosed with this silent disease as well as it mainly affects elderly individual.
In addition to the thyroid gland, Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the absorption of calcium. In fact, Vitamin D is needed for efficient absorption of calcium and therefore proper bone health. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, as well, it is unique because it is considered as a hormone; synthesized endogenously in the liver in form of Cholecalciferol. The endogenous inactive form of Vitamin D is Cholecalciferol or Vitamin D3 which is converted to active form of Vitamin D–Calcitriol also known as 1, 25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol in the Kidney upon exposure to UV ray of sun light. Deficiency in Vitamin D or renal disease contributes to bone disorder such as in Osteomalacia in adult and Rickets in children. Osteomalacia is the softening of bones due to poor bone mineralization which is in turn due to poor calcium absorption. Ultimately, these hormonal changes in body; such as function of thyroid, parathyroid, liver and kidney disrupts metabolic changes as well as function of specific organs, which in turn leads to condition that are not desirable such as bone disorders or other endocrine related diseases.
Diagnosis
Bone disease is common among the elderly individual, but adolescents can be diagnosed with this disorder as well. There are many bone disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypothyroidism. Although there are many forms of bone disorders, they all have one thing in common; abnormalities of specific organs involved, deficiency in vitamin D or low Calcium in diet, which results in poor bone mineralization.
Management
Epidemiology
Endocrine disorder is more common in women than men, as it is associated with menstrual disorders.

Robert Alan Edwards is an American broadcast journalist, a Peabody Award-winning member of the National Radio Hall of Fame. He hosted both of National Public Radio's flagship news programs, the afternoon All Things Considered, and Morning Edition, where he was the first and longest serving host in the latter program's history. Starting in 2004, Edwards then was the host of The Bob Edwards Show on Sirius XM Radio and Bob Edwards Weekend distributed by Public Radio International to more than 150 public radio stations. Those programs ended in September 2015. Edwards currently hosts a podcast for AARP.
Personal life and early career
Edwards is a graduate of St. Xavier High School (Louisville) and the University of Louisville and began his radio career in 1968 at a small radio station in New Albany, Indiana, a town located across the Ohio River from Louisville. Afterwards, Edwards served in the U.S. Army, producing and anchoring TV and radio news programs for the American Forces Korea Network from Seoul. Following his army service, he went on to anchor news for WTOP / 1500, a CBS affiliate, in Washington, D.C. He also earned an M.A. in communication from American University in Washington, D.C. In 1972, at age 25, Edwards anchored national newscasts for the Mutual Broadcasting System. Edwards joined NPR in 1974. Before hosting Morning Edition, Edwards was co-host of All Things Considered. Edwards is married to NPR news anchor Windsor Johnston. He has two daughters, Eleanor and Susannah.
Host of Morning Edition
Edwards hosted NPR's flagship program, Morning Edition, from the show's inception in 1979 until 2004. After 24 plus years with Edwards as host, Arbitron ratings showed that, with 13 million listeners, it was the second highest-rated radio broadcast in the country, behind only Rush Limbaugh's AM show. Prior to his departure, he was very popular among both listeners and critics.
When Morning Edition and its host won a George Foster Peabody Award in 1999, the Peabody committee lauded Edwards as
Edwards' skills as an interviewer have been widely praised. NPR's ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin said, "If I were his producer, I would think of Edwards as NPR's version of Charlie Rose." The New York Daily News called him "an institution among Morning Edition listeners for his interviewing skills and his calm, articulate style." It is estimated that Edwards conducted over 20,000 interviews for NPR. His subjects ranged from major politicians to authors and celebrities. His weekly call-in chats with retired sportscaster Red Barber are fondly remembered. The chats were supposedly about sports, but often digressed into topics like the Gulf War, what kind of flowers were blooming at Barber's Tallahassee, Florida home, or other non-sport subjects. Barber would call Edwards "Colonel Bob," referring to Edwards' Kentucky Colonel honor from his native state. Barber died in 1992; the following year Edwards based his first book, Fridays with Red: A Radio Friendship, on the weekly interviews.
In 2003, Edwards was inducted into the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame.
Departure from NPR
In April 2004, NPR executives decided to "freshen up" Morning Edition'''s sound. Edwards was removed as host, replaced with Steve Inskeep and Renée Montagne, and reassigned as a senior correspondent for NPR News. The move took him by surprise. "I'd rather stay," he said, "but it's not my decision to make."
At first, NPR executives and spokespersons did not fully explain the move, leaving many listeners confused. Eventually they did make some attempts to explain themselves. According to NPR spokeswoman Laura Gross, "It's part of a natural evolution. A new host will bring new ideas and perspectives to the show. Bob's voice will still be heard; he'll still be a tremendous influence on the show. We just felt it was time for a change."
Executive Vice President Ken Stern also explained the move. "This change in Morning Edition is part of the ongoing evaluation of all NPR programming that has taken place over the last several years. We've looked at shows like All Things Considered and Talk of the Nation with an eye to how we can best serve listeners in the future." Although Stern later participated in an online chat with listeners at NPR's website, it only heightened their confusion and anger.
The decision to remove Edwards, made shortly before his 25th anniversary with the show, was met with much criticism by listeners. Jeffrey Dvorkin, NPR's ombudsman, reported that the network received over 50,000 letters and emails, most of them angry, regarding Edwards' demotion; the listener reaction was the largest reaction on a single subject that NPR had received to that date. Other journalists, including ABC's Cokie Roberts and CBS' Charles Osgood, expressed dissatisfaction with the move.
His final broadcast as host was on April 30, 2004; his last Morning Edition interview was with Charles Osgood, who had also been Edwards' first Morning Edition interview subject almost 25 years earlier. Coincidentally, the last show also included a segment about the last Oldsmobile, which rolled off an assembly line the day before.
During his final months at NPR, Edwards wrote his second book, Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism. The book, a short biography of Edward R. Murrow, brought some public attention to history's most noted broadcast journalist prior to the release of the 2004 film Good Night and Good Luck. NPR removed Edwards from Morning Edition that spring rather than waiting for his 25th anniversary with the show in the fall, using the book tour to make a "clean break" rather than bringing him back for a final three-month stint.
Edwards decided not to remain at NPR as a senior correspondent and filed only one story, an interview with Bob Dole and other Senate veterans of World War II about the Washington, DC, World War II memorial, in that role. Three months after his departure from Morning Edition, XM Satellite Radio announced that he had signed on to host a new program, The Bob Edwards Show, for its new XM Public Radio channel.
His memoir, A Voice in the Box, was published in September 2011.
Sirius XM Satellite Radio career
"They want to give me a program, so I can continue to host and be heard every day instead of occasionally, as I would have been at NPR," Edwards told The Washington Post. He said the format would be "loose": "It'll be long interviews, short interviews, and then maybe departments... You've got to have the news ... it's not going to be all features, yet it's not going to be the Financial Times, either." The Bob Edwards Show's first broadcast was on October 4, 2004. Washington Post columnist David Broder and former CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite were Edwards' first guests.
While continuing his daily show on XM, Edwards returned to public radio stations in January 2006 with his show Bob Edwards Weekend, produced by XM Satellite Radio and distributed by Public Radio International to affiliate stations around the country. A September 22, 2005 press release from PRI states, "Bob Edwards Weekend will provide PRI listeners with an opportunity to sample some of the astute commentary and intriguing interviews offered to XM subscribers each weekday on The Bob Edwards Show." This was the first time that a satellite radio company provided programming to over-the-air terrestrial radio.The Bob Edwards Show has received several awards, including: the Deems Taylor Award from ASCAP (2006); a Gabriel Award from the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals (2006), The National Press Club's Robert L. Kozic Award for Environmental Reporting (2007) for the documentary, "Exploding Heritage", about mountaintop-removal coal mining. That program was also honored with a Gabriel Award, a 2006 New York Festivals Gold World Medal, and an award from the Society of Environmental Journalists.
In 2008, The Bob Edwards Show received an Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Association and a New York Festivals / United Nations Gold Award for the documentary, "The Invisible: Children without homes". "The Invisible" also was honored by the Journalism Center for Children and Families and by the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals.
In 2009, the show received a Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for the documentary, "Stories from Third Med: Surviving a Jungle ER." The documentary also received a Gabriel Award. In September 2012, Edwards was named a Fellow of the Society of Professional Journalists. In 2013, the program was awarded a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for the documentary, "An Occupational Hazard: Rape in the military". The show's last live episode aired on September 26, 2014.
AARP podcast
In July 2018, Edwards joined with AARP to host a podcast, Take On Today'', which is published most Thursdays. The program covers topics of health, work, money, aging, and entertainment, including interviews and panel discussions of issues relevant to older Americans.
Professional life
In November 2004, Edwards was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. He continues to offer verbal support for public radio. In 2009, he donated his papers and his library to American University in Washington, DC. He holds honorary degrees from the University of Louisville, Spalding University, Bellarmine University, Willamette University, Grinnell College, DePaul University, the University of St. Francis, and Albertson College.
