The Battle of Dara was fought between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sasanians in 530 AD. It was one of the battles of the Iberian War.
Procopius's account of this engagement is among the most detailed descriptions of a late Roman battle.
Background
The Byzantine Empire was at war with the Saanians from 527, supposedly because Kavadh I had tried to force the Iberians to become Zoroastrians. The Iberian king fled from Kavadh, but Kavadh tried to make peace with the Byzantines, and attempted to have Justin I adopt his son Khosrau. Justin agreed, but on the terms that he would do so only in a rite reserved for barbarians. This failed to satisfy Kavadh, who attacked Byzantine allies, so Justin sent his generals Sittas and Belisarius into Persia, where they were initially defeated. In 529, the failed negotiations of Justin's successor Justinian prompted a Sasanian expedition of 40,000 men towards Dara. The next year, Belisarius was sent back to the region alongside Hermogenes and an army; Kavadh answered with another 10,000 troops under the general Perozes, who set up camp about five kilometers away at Ammodius, in the near vicinity of Dara.
Deployment
The Persians, outnumbering the Romans by 15,000 men, deployed around 20 stades away from the town of Daras and drew up their battle lines.
Despite being outnumbered, Belisarius decided to give battle. He dug a number of ditches to block the Persian cavalry, leaving gaps between them to allow a counterattack. According to Irfan Shahid, the tactic was adopted from the Persians at the Battle of Thannuris two years earlier. These were pushed forward on either flank of his position, while his center was refused back. Here he placed his unreliable infantry behind the center ditch, being placed close enough to the walls of the fortress to provide supporting fire from the city battlements. On the left and right flanks were the Byzantine cavalry, of questionable quality. Supporting them on their interior flanks were small bodies of Huns: 300 Hun cavalry under Sunicas and Aigan supporting the left; and as many more Huns on the right under Simmas and Ascan. Belisarius also placed a body of Heruli cavalry under Pharas in ambush position off his left flank. A reserve composed of his own bucellarii household cavalry was held behind his center and commanded by John the Armenian, his trusted lieutenant and boyhood friend.
Battle
On the first day, according to Procopius, there was no general engagement, but instead a series of challenge fights between champions of both sides. One particular combat involved a Persian knight, who challenged Belisarius to single combat; but was instead met by a Byzantine bath slave named Andreas. Andreas, who had been secretly training with Belisarius' own household troopers, killed not only this Persian champion, but also a second challenger later in the day. The Persians then withdrew to Ammodius for the night. Some authors, however, have expressed doubt as to the pure historicity of Procopius' account and state that while instances of single combat did likely occur during the course of the battle, Procopius' description is intended to be a narrative device rather than a factual account. Another source, believed to be based on official documents, does indeed reference individual combat, but makes no mention of Andreas and, furthermore, places any single combat engagements at a different stage of the battle.
After the first day of skirmishes, Belisarius sent a letter to the Persian commander. Rather than fight a battle, he believed it was best to avoid conflict and instead insisted that their disputes be settled by discussion. The letter read, "The first blessing is peace, as is agreed by all men who have even a small share of reason. ... The best general, therefore, is that one which is able to bring about peace from war." The letter either fell on deaf ears or Perozes already wanted to negotiate which eventually failed, the battle resumed. The Persians already thought of the Byzantine army as a second-rate army; this letter, along with his numerical superiority, likely made Perozes even more confident of victory. In his book on Belisarius Brogna merely says that Belisarius sent the letter because of his good moral character. Mahon claims in his book that Belisarius doubted his chance of victory and this is why he sent the letter.
On the second day of the battle, 10,000 more Persian troops arrived from Nisibis. The Sassanid and Byzantine light infantry exchanged fire resulting in minor casualties on each side. As Procopius describes, "At first, then, both sides discharged arrows against each other, and the missiles by their great number made, as it were, a vast cloud; and many men were falling on both sides, but the missiles of the barbarians flew much more thickly. For fresh men were always fighting in turn, affording to their enemy not the slightest opportunity to observe what was being done; but even so the Romans did not have the worst of it. For a steady wind blew from their side against the barbarians, and checked to a considerable degree the force of their arrows." Depending on the source, either the Persians got the best of the Romans, the fight was fairly equal or the Persians suffered more. Then the Persians formed two lines: the right flank under Pityaxes and the left under Baresmanas.
At this time of the day the temperature of the region has been estimated to have been particularly hot, probably around .
The first wave of the Persian attack was directed against the Byzantine left flank. The Persians forced a crossing of the ditch, pushing back the Byzantine cavalry. But the intervention of Sunicas' Huns attacking from the interior of the Byzantine line, as well as Pharas' Herulians attacking out of ambush from the opposite side, forced the Persians' wing to retreat.
The Persians then attacked the Byzantine right wing, where Perozes sent the Sassanid Zhayedan, also known as the Immortals, who were the elite Persian armored lancers. The Byzantine cavalry and infantry defending the ditch were pushed back here as they had been on the right. But Belisarius counterattacked with his reserve Bucellari cavalry, and split the Persian troops in two. Half the Persians pursued the Byzantine cavalry, but the rest were trapped, and Baresmanas was killed along with 5,000 other men. The Byzantine cavalry also recovered and routed their pursuers. Belisarius allowed a pursuit for a few miles, but let the majority of Persian survivors escape.
Aftermath
Following the defeat, the Sasanians under Spahbod Azarethes together with their client Lakhmids started another invasion, this time, unexpectedly, via Commagene. Belisarius foiled their plan by swift maneuvering and forced the Persians, who were retreating, into a heavy battle at Callinicum in which the Byzantines were defeated, but with heavy casualties on both sides. The Byzantines eventually paid tributes in exchange for a peace treaty.
In 540 and 544 Dara was attacked by Khosrau I, who was unable to take it either time. Khosrau finally captured it in 573; its fall was said to have caused Justin II to go insane. Justin's wife Sophia and his friend Tiberius Constantine took control of the empire until Justin died in 578. Meanwhile, the Persians were able to march further into the empire, but Khosrau died in 579.
Maurice defeated the Persians at Dara in 586 and recaptured the fortress, but the Persians under Khosrau II defeated the Byzantines in 604. This time, the Persians destroyed the city, but the Byzantines later rebuilt it in 628. In 639 the Muslim Arabs captured it, and it remained in their hands until 942 when it was sacked by the Byzantines. It was sacked again by John I Tzimiskes in 958, but the Byzantines never recaptured it.
The battle in literature and media
The Battle of Dara is described in detail in, "Archaeological and Ancient Literary Evidence for a Battle near Dara Gap, Turkey, AD 530: Topography, Texts & Trenches" - see sources below. It was depicted in 2005 in the TV series Time Commanders.
The battle is described in detail in the 1938 novel "Count Belisarius" by Robert Graves. It is also mentioned in the 2006 novel Belisarius: The First Shall Be Last. Dara, as well as Callinicum, are scenes in "Immortal: A Novel of Belisarius" by William Havelock.
The battle is also featured in Total War: Attila, a strategy game from 2015, as playable battle in The Roman Expedition DLC pack, alongside the battle of Ad Decimum.

Auggie Rose, also known as Beyond Suspicion, is a 2000 American drama film directed by Matthew Tabak and starring Jeff Goldblum and Anne Heche. It was originally shown on Cinemax and then released on video with the title Beyond Suspicion before a limited theatrical release in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City.
Plot
Life insurance salesman John Nolan (Jeff Goldblum) goes to the liquor store where he witnesses the fatal shooting of Auggie Rose (Kim Coates), an ex-convict on his second day as a stock boy. Auggie was returning from the back of the store with a bottle of wine John had requested – since the only bottle out front had a torn label – and he surprised the robber, who shot him in the stomach. John tries to comfort him, riding with him in the ambulance, but Auggie dies at the hospital.
Feeling responsible, and offended that the police show little interest in investigating and finding Auggie's next of kin, John finds out everything he can about Auggie, who was just released from prison after serving 20 years for armed robbery. Decker, the LAPD officer investigating the case (Richard T. Jones), warns him to back off. However, John becomes more and more engrossed with Auggie and disconnected from his own life, causing strain with his live-in girlfriend, Carol (Nancy Travis). After finding a stack of letters, he discovers that Auggie had a Southern pen pal named Lucy (Anne Heche) who is coming to meet him for the first time, unaware of Auggie's death, and is due to arrive the next day.
John tells his secretary, Noreen (Paige Moss), that he is taking a leave of absence. When John goes to meet Lucy, she greets him as Auggie, and he decides to pretend to be him. He lives in his apartment and starts a relationship with Lucy, and even applies for jobs as Auggie, getting a job as a stock boy at a small market. He meets ex-con Roy Mason (Timothy Olyphant), who knew Auggie through his cellmate but had never met him. Roy asks John to help him rob the L.A. Transit Authority, which he says has $200,000 in cash daily and only two guards. John says he will consider it.
John trades in his Volvo for a motorcycle to complete his look. He happily spends his days at the market and nights with Lucy. Unbeknownst to him, however, both Roy and Decker are suspicious and tailing him. Roy retrieves John's business card from his Volvo at the dealership. Roy goes to John's office and sees a photo of him on the wall. He confronts John in the lobby of Auggie's apartment, and says he began spying on him when he didn't eagerly accept the transit heist, and that he had asked around and learned Auggie was dead. He accuses John of killing him to take his identity, which John denies, and Roy says he thinks John must be working some kind of life insurance scam. Roy threatens to tell Lucy and John punches him. Roy says he even knows about Carol before he leaves. John later gives Roy a forged insurance policy in Auggie's name worth $100,000 with a blank beneficiary, and tells him to take it and go away.
John continues to have dreams and flashbacks to the shooting, including dreams in which he is in Auggie's place and gets shot after coming out with the bottle of wine. Lucy confesses to John that she married someone she didn't love after she started writing Auggie, but that the marriage had been annulled after four months after her husband found all of the letters to Auggie. She says she felt she had to tell him because he was so much more than she thought he would be. John decides to tell Lucy the truth. Devastated, she leaves.
John decides to officially end his life as John Nolan, selling his half of the business to his partner, Carl (Casey Biggs). As he leaves the office, he runs into his partner with a couple, whom he recognizes from the market. They ask his advice about the plan Carl recommended, and John tells the husband, "I think you should go home and make love to your wife and pray that nothing bad happens, and ask yourself each day, 'if it were to end right here right now, would it be enough?'" John even has a headstone put up for himself with the inscription "Free at last." He informs Decker about Roy's plan to rob the Transit Authority, and Roy is arrested for violating his parole while trying to cash the life insurance policy.
John goes back to work at the market. He is sent to the back to retrieve a bottle of wine and pauses, coming out cautiously. Instead of a gunman, he sees Lucy, who greets him with, "Hi, Auggie."

Production
Originally William H. Macy was going to play John C. Nolan, but he dropped out because of scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Jeff Goldblum less than two weeks before shooting started. The film was shot on location in Los Angeles.
Reception
Auggie Rose received mixed reviews from critics. It holds a 54% approval rating, based on 13 reviews, on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Writing for Variety, David Stratton wrote a negative review of the film upon its release at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival when it was searching for a distributor. Stratton wrote, "An attractive and intriguing premise is given disappointingly mundane treatment in Auggie Rose, which starts strongly but falters badly in the later going. Names of Jeff Goldblum and Anne Heche probably won't be enough to drag a significant amount of theatrical coin out of this one, but vidbin sales are more promising." However, another Variety reviewer, Dennis Harvey, gave a positive review a year later following the film's limited theatrical release. Harvey wrote that the film could have potential as a sleeper hit, praising Goldblum's performance in particular: "The most entertaining deer-caught-in-the-headlights eyes in showbiz are well deployed here, as Goldblum's customary air of distracted eccentricity lays bare protag's simultaneous bewilderment and pleasure at assuming another man's identity. It's a lovely, mercurial yet focused perf."
Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times praised the film, in particular Goldblum and Heche, who he wrote "arguably give their best performances to date." Thomas wrote that Auggie Rose has "the earmarks of a sleeper: an unusual and involving premise persuasively and fully realized.... this modestly budgeted independent production deserves a chance to find a wider audience." Mick LaSalle of The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that director Tabak made good use of Goldblum's talent, writing, "Auggie Rose is one of those go-out-for-coffee-afterward-and-talk-about-it movies, and those are always welcome. It's about identity and existential angst and stars that master of psychic dislocation, Jeff Goldblum. In Hollywood films, Goldblum gets to act smirky and amusing. Yet his delivery of lines has often implied a psychological complexity that few filmmakers have bothered to tap. Goldblum always seems to be listening to and weighing his own thoughts ... and then saying them in a rush, lest he think something else and disagree with himself before he's finished. He is exactly the actor to cast in a role calling for uncertainty and confusion. Writer-director Matthew Tabak had the insight to see Goldblum in this way."
Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times gave a negative review, writing, "Despite the potential of the material, there is little action to accompany it. In fact, there's so little going on in Auggie Rose that the movie begins to feel like a coffeehouse conversation about a movie that's all about meanings and motif rather than substance and characters."

The PGA Championship of Canada is a golf tournament organized by the PGA of Canada, an organization founded in 1911 at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. It was first played in 1912 as the Canadian PGA Championship. It was a Nationwide Tour event from 2001 to 2005. Prior to that it was an event on the Canadian Tour. Stan Leonard holds the record with eight victories.
Between 1978 and 1983, the tournament was sponsored by Labatt's and titled as the Labatt's International Golf Classic with a prize fund of C$100,000. It attracted many of the leading PGA Tour players of the day, with multiple major champions Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino (twice), Raymond Floyd and Lanny Wadkins lifting the trophy during those six years.
In 2011, the PGA Championship of Canada was reintroduced as a match play championship for the top 64 competitors on the PGA of Canada Player Rankings. The P.D. Ross Trophy was given to the winner in 1912, and is still used as the Championship's award today.

Quest for Camelot Nights was a stage show performed on Switlik Lake at Six Flags Great Adventure from May 9, 1998 through 2001. The show told the story of the 1998 Warner Bros. animated film Quest for Camelot, featuring music and lyrics by Patrick Doyle as well as fireworks, lasers, and water projections.
Development and history
Warner Bros. began developing live productions based on Quest for Camelot in 1996 while the film was still in production, the first of which was Quest for Camelot Nights.
For Quest for Camelot Nights to occupy the same space as the Lethal Weapon: Water Stunt Spectacular! on Switlik Lake, Lethal Weapon's boat and garage were modified and made double-sided so that they could be reversed every night in under an hour. At night, The boat became Merlin's castle, and the garage became a platform. A floating iceberg was also re-used from a previous show and re-painted to look like a rock jutting out of the water, which was hidden behind the boat during the day.
The show premiered at the start of the 1998 season, and was originally only intended to run through Labor Day, but its popularity ended up making Six Flags have it return for three more seasons, with the show's final performance happening in 2001.
Cancelled tour
Other than Quest for Camelot Nights, Warner Bros. was also planning a touring live production to coincide with the release of Quest for Camelot. The tour was supposed to debut at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in 1998, and then travel to different renaissance fairs throughout the United States. The project was cancelled soon after the film underperformed at the box office. Quest for Camelot only made back $38 million of its $40 million budget, making it a box office bomb.

The 1980 WAFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the South Fremantle Football Club and the Swan Districts Football Club, on 27 September 1980 at Subiaco Oval, to determine the premier team of the West Australian Football League (WAFL) for the 1980 season. South Fremantle won the game by 58 points, 23.18 (156) to 15.8 (98), with Maurice Rioli of South Fremantle winning the Simpson Medal as best on ground.
Season summary
Swan Districts were the dominant team in the first half of the season, winning 13 games straight. Their winning run ended in Round 14 when they lost to South Fremantle at their home ground, Bassendean Oval by 19 points. They would only lose two more home and away season games for the year, to East Perth in round 16 and to South Fremantle in the final round.
South Fremantle's season started with player turmoil, with Collingwood's ruckman Derek Shaw getting a Supreme Court injunction to enable him to play for South Fremantle without a clearance. However, South's centre half-back Joe McKay failed in his Supreme Court bid to be cleared to East Perth. Stephen Michael was also enticed to move to Geelong but rejected their offer. After a loss to East Perth in round 6, coach Mal Brown resigned due to his perception that his personality was affecting the umpiring and the "unreceptive attitude of the players to my advice". He withdrew his resignation the following week. South would lose that week to Swan Districts, but would then only lose one more game for the year, winning 12 in a row to finish the regular season in second place, one game behind Swans.
In the finals, East Perth beat Claremont in the First Semi Final with Paul Arnold kicking 7 goals. The following week in the Second Semi Final, South Fremantle continued their unbeaten streak, beating Swans by 10 points. Swan Districts bounced back in the preliminary final, kicking a finals record 28 goals to beat East Perth by 76 points. Graham Melrose starred with 9 goals and Simon Beasley kicked 7 goals.
The main individual awards were dominated by South Fremantle's captain Noel Carter, who won most of the media awards and Stephen Michael, who won the Sandover Medal with 24 votes, 5 votes ahead of Carter. Warren Ralph won the best first year player award and the goalkicking award with 87 goals for the season, the first debutant to win since Austin Robertson, Jr. in 1962. Billy Duckworth won the best rookie award.
Grand final
South Fremantle won the toss and kicked into the light wind in the first quarter. Swans started well, kicking the first two goals of the match before South kicked the three goals to go to quarter time with a 10-point lead. However, in the second quarter, South Fremantle dominated, kicking eight goals to one, to lead by 54 points at half time. Swans never recovered, and despite kicking 6 goals in the final 10 minutes, lost by 58 points. Maurice Rioli was awarded the Simpson Medal as the best player on the ground.
It was South Fremantle's tenth premiership, ten years after their previous win.

History
Fellbach was first mentioned as "Velbach" in 1121. The name "Velebach" appeared in 1357 and "Fehlbach" in 1800. Several landlords had possessions in Fellbach, the House Württemberg bought piece by piece. First, the village belonged to Oberamt Cannstatt. After its dissolution in 1923 Fellbach came to Oberamt Waiblingen, this became in 1938 Waiblingen district. After Fellbach had grown to the largest Württemberg village, the community was named October 14, 1933 for city. After World War II, the population crossed the 20,000 threshold. Therefore, Fellbach was appointed on April 1, 1956 to the district town in the district of Waiblingen.
Schmiden was first mentioned in 1225 as "Smidheim". Schmiden first belonged to Oberamt Waiblingen and only came in 1718 to Oberamt Cannstatt. After its dissolution in 1923 it came again to Oberamt Waiblingen, later district Waiblingen.
Oeffingen was 789 first mentioned as "Villa Uffingen im Neckargau". Since this did not import the Reformation, Oeffingen remained Catholic. In 1618 Oeffingen was sold to the Chapter Augsburg and came due to the secularisation of 1803 to the Kingdom of Bavaria. The place was finally annexed in 1810 and assigned to Oberamt Cannstatt. After its dissolution in 1923 it came to Oberamt Waiblingen, later district Waiblingen.

The 1844 Whig National Convention was a presidential nominating convention held on May 1, 1844 at Universalist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. It nominated the Whig Party's candidates for president and vice president in the 1844 election. The convention selected former Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky for president and former Senator Theodore Frelinghuysen of New Jersey for vice president.
While the Whigs had won the 1840 presidential election, the party needed a new ticket as President William Henry Harrison had died in April 1841 while his successor, John Tyler, had been expelled from the party in September 1841 for vetoing bills passed by the Whig-controlled Congress. The convention unanimously nominated Clay, a long-time party leader, for president. Frelinghuysen won the vice presidential nomination on the third ballot, defeating former Governor John Davis of Massachusetts and two other candidates. The Whig ticket went on to lose the 1844 general election to the Democratic ticket of James K. Polk and George M. Dallas.
Convention chairman
Ambrose Spencer served as chairman of the convention, taking over from Arthur S. Hopkins, who was temporary chairman in the early stages of planning.
Presidential nomination
President John Tyler had been expelled from the party and the delegates searched for a new nominee. President Tyler's break with the Whig Party, combined with Daniel Webster's decision to serve in the Tyler administration, positioned Clay as the leading contender for the Whig nomination in the 1844 presidential election. At the convention, Clay was nominated unanimously.
Platform
Clay, a slaveholder, presided over a party in which its Southern wing was sufficiently committed to the national platform to put partisan loyalties above slavery expansionist proposals that might undermine its North-South alliance. The Whig party leadership was acutely aware that any proslavery legislation advanced by its southern wing would alienate its anti-slavery northern wing and cripple the party in the general election. In order to preserve their party, Whigs would need to stand squarely against acquiring a new slave state. As such, Whigs were content to restrict their 1844 campaign platform to less divisive issues such as internal improvements and national finance. Clay himself had previously stated that he was opposed to the annexation of Texas.
Vice presidential nomination
Initially there were seven candidates for the Whig's vice-presidential nomination. They were:
John M. Clayton, former Senator from Delaware and Chief Justice of the Delaware Superior Court.
John Davis, former Senator and Governor of Massachusetts.
George Evans, Senator from Maine.
Millard Fillmore, former Representative from New York.
Theodore Frelinghuysen, former Mayor of Newark and Chancellor of New York University.
John McLean, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
John Sergeant, former Representative from Pennsylvania.
Clayton, Evans, and McLean withdrew themselves from consideration before the first round of balloting had commenced. After three rounds of voting, Theodore Frelinghuysen – "the Christian Statesman" – was selected as Clay's running mate. An advocate of colonization of emancipated slaves, he was acceptable to southern Whigs as an opponent of the abolitionists. His pious reputation balanced Clay's image as a slave-holding, hard-drinking duelist.
Their party slogan was the bland "Hurray, Hurray, the Country's Risin' – Vote for Clay and Frelinghuysen!"

The Diocese of Lacedaemon o Lacedaemonia () was a Christian ecclesiastical province in Laconia, Greece. Extant from at least the middle of the 5th century, it became a metropolis in 1083. During the period of Frankish rule, between ca. 1209 and 1278, it was held by Roman Catholic prelates, and remains a (vacant) titular see of the Catholic Church. The Greek Orthodox see was restored with the Byzantine reconquest in the 1270s, and continued until the see's abolition in 1852.
History
Establishment and first Byzantine period
Christianity came to Laconia and its capital, Sparta, in the 1st century AD, with the first church mentioned in Sparta in ca. 150 AD. Like the rest of the Peloponnese, the Christian community of Sparta was under the jurisdiction of the See of Corinth. A certain Hosios is the first bishop of Sparta attested, in 458; the see was called Lacedaemon , which was the common name for both Sparta and its surrounding region in Byzantine times.
The Chronicle of Monemvasia claims that the inhabitants of Sparta left their city for Sicily due to the Slavic invasions of the late 6th century, and that it was not until the early years of the 9th century that Emperor Nikephoros I (reigned 802–811) rebuilt the city and resettled it with Greek and Armenians settlers. Nevertheless, in the Sixth Ecumenical Council of 681, a Theodosios, "bishop of the city of the Lacedaemonians", participated, and a bishopric of "Lakedeon" is attested in a Notitia Episcopatuum of ca. 800.
With the raising of the Bishopric of Patras to a metropolitan see in 806, Lacedaemon (along with the bishoprics of Methoni and Koroni) passed from Corinth to Patras; Lacedaemon assuming the first rank (protothronos) among the suffragans of Patras. In 869–870, the bishop of Lacedaemon was Theokletos, who participated in the ecumenical council convened by Patriarch Ignatios. His successor, Antony, participated in the council of 879–880 convened by Patriarch Photios. Little is known of the ecclesiastical history of the region thereafter until the arrival of Saint Nikon the Metanoeite in the last three decades of the 10th century. His hagiography gives many, albeit not always reliable, information about the area, including the existence of a Jewish community and still pagan Slavs, on whom Nikon focused his missionary activity.
On 1 January 1083, or thereabouts, the bishopric of Lacedaemon was raised to the rank of a metropolis; its bishop, Theodosios, becoming the first metropolitan. The new metropolis counted three suffragans: Amyclae, Pissa, and of the Ezeroi.
Frankish and second Byzantine periods
Following the Fourth Crusade, most of the Peloponnese was taken over by Frankish Crusaders and became the Principality of Achaea; Lacedaemon itself was occupied, apparently without much resistance, shortly after 1209, as it is not mentioned in the Treaty of Sapienza signed on June that year. In their conquests, the Crusaders retained the existing Greek Orthodox ecclesiastical structure but installed Roman Catholic prelates. Due to the scarcity of the Catholic element but also the few higher clergy available, in 1222–23 several smaller sees, which had had a rather theoretical existence under Frankish rule or were never even occupied after the eviction of their Orthodox bishops, were abolished and amalgamated into the larger ones: thus in 1222, Amyclae was joined with Lacedaemon, followed in 1223 by the see of Helos, which had lain vacant after the Frankish conquest.
Lacedaemon experienced a period of splendour in the mid-13th century, when Prince William II of Villehardouin made it his residence, and began constructing the fortress of Mistra nearby. After the re-establishment of a Byzantine presence in Laconia and the start of warfare between the Byzantines and the Achaeans in 1263, however, most of the inhabitants fled to Mistra. Between 1270 and 1272, Lacedaemon fell to the Byzantines, and in 1278, the last Catholic bishop, Aimon, was moved to the see of Koroni. At the same time, his restored Orthodox counterpart took up his residence in Mistra. Lacedaemon remains a titular see of the Catholic Church, counting 18 holders from 1514 on. It has been vacant since 1967.
Despite the restoration of Byzantine rule, the see remained vacant or was given to other prelates several times during the second Byzantine period. Thus after 1272, the see was held by the metropolitan of Monemvasia, while in 1289 it was given to the distinguished scholar and exiled Metropolitan of Crete (a Venetian possession), Nikephoros Moschopoulos. In 1316 Lacedaemon was united with the see of Patras, which remained under Frankish rule, and given the bishopric of Kernitsa as its sole suffragan. This lasted until the middle of the century, when the Metropolis of Patras was again separated (and installed at the Mega Spilaion Monastery), while Lacedaemon received Amyclae as its suffragan. The cultural and spiritual revival experienced by the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea led to an increase in the construction of churches and monasteries, especially in the Despotate's capital, Mistra.
During the chaotic last years of the Despotate of the Morea, the see of Lacedaemon appears to have been vacant; the last known Metropolitan of Lacedaemon was Methodios, who participated in the Council of Florence in 1436. After 1450 the see appears to have been administered by the scholar and priest John Eugenikos (brother of Markos Eugenikos) as its commissary.
Ottoman period
The Despotate of the Morea passed under Ottoman control in 1460, marking the start of the slow decline of Mistra. The history of the Metropolis of Lacedaemon during the first century of Ottoman rule is obscure: the first named Metropolitan, Jeremias, is not attested until 1541–46, and then he did not reside in his see but rather was a permanent member of the synod of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. This pattern of absence is largely followed by the few prelates known to have presided over the see in the next decades. The most important among them was Theodosios, who held the metropolitan throne from 1575 to 1592.
In 1601, the Athenian Ezekiel was elected as metropolitan, but died soon after, to be succeeded by the former Great Protosyncellus of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Chrysanthos Laskaris. From the time of Chrysanthos and his immediate successors, Dionysios, Joasaph and Gabriel, the metropolitans once more began to reside in their see, although most of their time was often spent at the patriarchal court in Constantinople. Following the Venetian conquest of the Peloponnese in the mid-1680s, the peninsula remained under Venetian rule for thirty years, until the Ottoman reconquest in 1715. The Venetian period saw a brief revival of a Catholic hierarchy in the Peloponnese alongside the Orthodox one, which the Venetian authorities tried to control by attempting, with little success, to impose their own appointees for the Orthodox episcopal sees.
Following the restoration of Ottoman rule, in 1760, the metropolitan Ananias Theofilis-Lampardis was decapitated by the Turks in front of his cathedral in Mistra, for plotting against Turkish rule. A few years later, after the failed Orlov Revolt, the Peloponnese suffered from the raids of the Albanian irregulars invited by the Turks to help suppress the rebellion. In February 1777, the then metropolitan of Lacedaemon, Neophytos, was killed by the Albanians. During the late Ottoman period, the diocese of Lacedaemon counted three suffragans: the bishoprics of Vresthene, Karyoupolis and Maltzine.
Modern period
At the time of the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in March 1821, the incumbent metropolitan Chrysanthos was old and near-blind, but a leading role in the initial days of the revolt was played by the bishop of Vresthena, Theodoretos II, who was a member of the Filiki Etaireia and served as deputy chairman of the Peloponnesian Senate. Chrysanthos died in 1823, and the metropolitan see was administered by Daniel Kouloufekis, Bishop of Charioupolis, as locum tenens. Following the establishment of the independent Kingdom of Greece and the declaration of the autocephaly of the Church of Greece, in November 1833 the Church hierarchy was reorganized to match the new administrative boundaries. Daniel Kouloufekis was formally installed as the metropolitan, and the Metropolitan of Lacedaemon became the senior see of the entire Laconia Prefecture, with seven suffragans: Sellasia (former Bishopric of Vresthene), Epidavros Limira (former Metropolis of Monemvasia), Gytheio, Asini (former Bishopric of Lageia), Oitylo, Zygos, and Kardamyli. Gradually, over the next few years, several of the suffragan sees were merged into the metropolitan see, beginning with Kardamyli (1834), Oitylo, Epidavros, and Zygos (1841), Gytheio (1842), and Asini (1852). In 1837 furthermore, the seat of the metropolis was moved from Mistra to the modern town of Sparti. As a result of the merger with Epidavros, the heir to the ancient see of Monemvasia, the Metropolitan of Lacedaemon acquired the title "Exarch of the Peloponnese" and the appellation "All-Holiness", granted to the Metropolitan of Monemvasia in 1301.
With the death of Daniel Kouloufekis in December 1844, the see remained vacant and was governed by a committee until 9 April 1852, when the ecclesiastical hierarchy was once more reorganized. Laconia was divided among three sees: the Bishopric of Gytheio, the Bishopric of Oitylo, and the new Archbishopric of Monemvasia and Sparta, which replaced the Metropolis of Lacedaemon.

Sigmund in a Cafe () is a short story by Victor Pelevin, published in 1993.
Plot
The story belongs to the early stage of the writer's work, and applies a characteristic author's trick: playing with the reader's expectations and unpredictable ending. A similar gimmick is found in his other works: "The Life of Insects", "Hermit and Six-Toes", "Nika".
The action of the story takes place in a Viennese café, judging by the description, the beginning of 20th century. A certain Sigmund sits in the café and closely observes the couples around him: a lady and a gentleman who have come to the café for dinner, a girl and a boy playing in the corner, a hostess and a waiter changing a blown bulb. The story details the details of each couple's behavior, and Sigmund comments on each episode with a short "Aha."
Each episode elicits a monotonous commentary from him, characterized only by a gradually increasing excitement as the episodes depicted contain sexual meaning and phallic details.
In Sigmund's field of vision are a couple of customers, a man and a woman, the hostess' children, a brother and sister, the hostess herself, and the waiter. To the first and subsequent episodes, Sigmund reacts with a quiet exclamation of "Aha." He sees the displeasure of the woman who has noticed the snow crammed into the unzipped handbag carried by her companion, the long umbrella that the lady has placed in the corner, "for some reason having turned its handle down."
Sigmund sees the children quarreling and the girl's tongue, which she showed to her brother and "held it out so long that it could probably be seen in every detail."
This is followed by a detailed description of the episode of changing a burned-out light bulb, in which the characters do not say a single word and exchange gestures.
The following episodes (blowing a long stream of tobacco smoke through tobacco rings, children playing with disheveled dolls and shapeless pieces of colorful plasticine) and seeing an avant-garde canvas on the wall, showing two open pianos "in which lay the dead Bunuel and Salvador Dali, both with oddly long ears," cause Sigmund to exclaim and worry: "Aha! – Sigmund shouted with all his might. – Aha! Aha!!! Aha!!!!".
After several such repetitions, the reader concludes that the visitor to the Vienna café is the founder of psychoanalysis, Dr. Sigmund Freud. And then the reader begins to interpret everyday life episodes in terms of Freudianism.
Sigmund draws everyone's attention to himself by his behavior. The hostess of the establishment approaches him, a man approaches him. It is only here, almost in the epilogue, that the reader is informed that Sigmund is a parrot. The space of the city and the café instantly narrows to the boundaries of the third spatial point, to the cage in which Sigmund is sitting. The cage is all crap, which does not please the hostess.
Thus, the reasoning to which the reader was provoked could not have been born in a bird's head.
The story is permeated with Nabokovian-type irony in relation to Freud and his theory of all-pervasive sexuality. At the end follows a phrase about the riddled cage in which Sigmund is to live – this is probably a mockery of the proponents of psychoanalysis.

Peter Ian Vincenti (born 7 July 1986) is a Jèrriais professional footballer who plays for Jèrriais club St. Peter. He primarily plays as a winger, although he has also been deployed in attacking midfield, and as a forward. Vincenti is the vice-chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).
Vincenti began his career as a youth player for First Tower United, where he played for one year, before moving to his hometown club St. Peter. He spent two years with St. Peter. Vincenti joined Millwall on a short-term contract following a successful trial period. However, he did not to break into the first-team and left the club when his contract expired in January 2008. He subsequently signed for Stevenage Borough the same month, and was part of the side that won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium during the 2008–09 season. The following season, he helped the club earn promotion to the Football League by winning the Conference Premier. In October 2010, Vincenti joined Conference Premier club Mansfield Town on an initial three-month loan.
Shortly after returning to his parent club, he signed for Aldershot Town, spending two-and-a-half years with the club and making over 100 appearances. In May 2013, Vincenti signed for League Two club Rochdale, and helped the club achieve promotion to League One in his first season. After four seasons at Rochdale, Vincenti joined League Two club Coventry City in July 2017, where he won promotion to League One via the play-offs during his one season there. In August 2018, Vincenti was released from his contract at Coventry and joined newly promoted League Two club Macclesfield Town. Vincenti was loaned to National League North club Hereford in September 2019 for three months. He left Macclesfield when his contract expired and rejoined his first club, St. Peter, in September 2020. Vincenti has also represented the Jersey national team, and played for his country at the Island Games in 2007.
In 2023 Vincenti made his debut for the WGCS in a much hyped grudge match against Le Judge in the scorching heat at the Royal Jersey. Battling through injury and adversity, Vincenti single handedly won the first 5 holes in his match play and the lead proved unassailable as his twosome finished with a 5&4 victory as WGCS embarrassed Le Judge with a 210-161 comprehensive victory.
Early life
Vincenti was born in Saint Peter, Jersey. His father, also called Peter Vincenti, played as a midfielder and later managed the Jersey national football team. Despite his father being involved in football, Vincenti stated his parents were "never obsessive" of him playing and that they placed more focus on the importance of education.
Vincenti studied Business Studies at Liverpool Hope University prior to playing football professionally. He later earned his master's degree in Business Administration at the Open University.
Club career
Early career
Vincenti was a product of the Jersey Football Association's centre of excellence, and started his football career as a youth player at First Tower United juniors before moving to his local team St. Peter. He progressed into the first-team at St. Peter and played on a part-time basis. He was top goalscorer for Jersey in the Island Games, held in Rhodes in June 2007. Vincenti subsequently won Jersey Footballer of the Year in 2007. After graduating from Liverpool Hope University, during which he only played football socially for the University's second team, Vincenti had planned to move to Dublin to begin a career in finance. The academy director at St. Peter, Brian Foulser, had contacts at English club Millwall and organised a trial for Vincenti in July 2007. He played in three pre-season friendlies for the club against Tooting & Mitcham United, Kingstonian, and Sutton United respectively, and earned a four-month contract that ran until December 2007. Vincenti did not make a first-team appearance for Millwall during his time at the club, making the substitutes' bench once in a League One match against Swindon Town.
Stevenage
When his contract at Millwall expired, Vincenti joined Stevenage Borough on a free transfer on 4 January 2008. He made his debut for the club in a 5–0 victory against Droylsden on 19 January 2008. Five days after his debut, on 24 January 2008, Vincenti signed a contract extension until 2010 having impressed manager Peter Taylor. He played 12 times for Stevenage towards the latter stages of the club's 2007–08 season, scoring his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win over Crawley Town on 1 March 2008. Vincenti was transfer-listed following Graham Westley's reappointment as manager in May 2008.
After Stevenage started the 2008–09 season by losing three out of the first four opening games, conceding 13 goals in the process, Vincenti made his first appearance of the season in the club's fifth game, a 1–1 draw with Crawley Town. Vincenti's return to the first-team coincided with an upturn in form for the Hertfordshire club, and he was removed from the transfer-list by Westley in September 2008. He scored against Stevenage's local rivals Woking in a 1–0 victory on 1 November 2008, scoring from 25-yards. Vincenti scored the only goal of the game with the last-kick of the match in the second leg of the FA Trophy semi-final against Ebbsfleet United on 21 March 2009. The win meant that Stevenage had earned a place in the final at Wembley Stadium, which he subsequently started as Stevenage beat York City 2–0. In doing so, he became the first player from the Channel Islands to play in a competitive match at the new Wembley Stadium. Vincenti played 31 times during his first full season with the club, scoring four goals.
Before the start of the 2009–10 season, Vincenti was loaned to Conference South club Woking on a three-month deal after playing in a trial match for the club. The following day, Stevenage played out a 0–0 draw with Woking in their final pre-season fixture, and despite joining the latter on loan, Vincenti played for his parent club. Shortly after the match, Westley decided he could not afford to release Vincenti and the loan agreement with Woking was cancelled. Vincenti played in five of the first six games of the season, all of which as a substitute, and started the following game against Histon on 31 August 2009, during which he was sent-off in the sixth-minute for violent conduct. In October 2009, he came on as a substitute to score a 94th-minute winner in the FA Cup against Chelmsford City. He played 26 times in all competitions that season, as Stevenage earned promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club's history.
He started in the club's first Football League match against Macclesfield Town on 7 August 2010, scoring Stevenage's first goal in the Football League in the sixth-minute of the match; heading in Charlie Griffin's cross from close-range in a match that ended 2–2. Vincenti's goal was also the first goal of the 2010–11 League Two season. During his three years at Stevenage, Vincenti scored seven times in 77 appearances. In October 2010, Vincenti joined Conference Premier club Mansfield Town on an initial three-month loan deal, with a view to the agreement being made permanent in January 2011. He made his Mansfield debut in the club's 4–1 home defeat to Crawley Town, playing 75 minutes of the match before being substituted. Vincenti made four appearances during the loan spell.
Aldershot Town
Vincenti signed for Aldershot Town on a free transfer on 14 January 2011, joining the League Two club on an 18-month contract. He was Dean Holdsworth's first signing for Aldershot, with Vincenti having previously played under Dean's brother, David, at Mansfield Town. He made his debut for Aldershot on 15 January 2011, playing 78 minutes in the club's 1–1 away draw at Bury. Vincenti scored his first goal for Aldershot a week later in a 3–2 home victory against Crewe Alexandra. He scored two goals within the space of a week in February 2011, scoring a late equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Northampton Town, followed by a consolation strike in a 2–1 home loss to Port Vale. He scored further goals against Cheltenham Town, Bradford City, and Rotherham United respectively, taking his goal tally to six. Vincenti made 22 appearances for Aldershot during the season, with the club finishing in 14th place in League Two.
He remained at Aldershot for the 2011–12 season, and scored his first goal of the campaign on 13 September 2011, heading in Alex Rodman's cross to double Aldershot's advantage in a 2–0 away win at Hereford United. A month later, Vincenti scored in a 5–2 win against Dagenham & Redbridge on 22 October 2011. It was to be Vincenti's last goal for almost five months, ending his 21-game goal drought when he scored from just inside the area in a 2–2 draw with Crawley Town on 13 March 2012. Vincenti signed a one-year contract extension with Aldershot on 30 March 2012, keeping him contracted to the club until June 2013. Vincenti made 49 appearances during the campaign, scoring six times.
His third season at Aldershot began with a 7–6 penalty shootout defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in the League Cup on 11 August 2012, with Vincenti playing the first 90 minutes of the match. It took Vincenti 20 matches to score his first goal of the season, scoring with a 30-yard shot just before half-time in Aldershot's 3–2 FA Cup victory away at Fleetwood Town on 1 December 2012. He continued to play regularly during the second half of the campaign, and scored one further goal that season, from close-range in a 2–1 home defeat to Plymouth Argyle on 9 February 2013. Vincenti made 46 appearances in his final season with the club, as Aldershot were ultimately relegated back to the Conference Premier after finishing in last place in League Two. During his two-and-a-half year stay with the Hampshire club, he scored 15 times in 117 appearances in all competitions.
Rochdale
Shortly after the end of the 2012–13 season, on 10 May 2013, Vincenti agreed to sign for League Two club Rochdale on a two-year deal following the expiration of his contract at Aldershot on 1 July 2013. Vincenti made his Rochdale debut in the club's first game of the 2013–14 season, playing the whole match in a 3–0 win over Hartlepool United at Spotland on 3 August 2013. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win against Newport County on 12 October 2013, courtesy of "a stunning 30-yard strike" to give Rochdale an early lead in the match. Vincenti scored the opening goal of the game in a 2–0 victory against Cheltenham Town on 26 April 2014, a win that ultimately secured the club's promotion into League One after Rochdale finished in second place in League Two. Vincenti was a regular starter throughout the season, making 49 appearances and scoring seven goals during his first season with the club. Following the conclusion of the season, on 30 June 2014, Vincenti signed a contract extension until 2016.
He played in Rochdale's first game back in League One during the 2014–15 season, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute in the club's 1–0 home loss to Peterborough United. He started the season by scoring four times in the opening month, which included two goals in a 4–0 away victory at Crawley Town on 6 September 2014. Vincenti's first-half goal in a 1–1 draw with Gillingham on 18 October 2014 would serve as the catalyst for one of the player's most prolific goalscoring runs of his career. He went on to score seven times in the club's next nine matches. Included in this run was a penalty in Rochdale's 1–0 FA Cup victory against Championship opposition in the form of Nottingham Forest on 3 January 2015. Vincenti scored 16 times in 44 appearances during the season, finishing as the club's second highest goalscorer for the campaign, as Rochdale consolidated their place back in League One after finishing in eighth position.
Ahead of the 2015–16 season, on 15 July 2015, Vincenti agreed a two-year contract extension to keep him at the club until 2018. Similarly to the previous season, Vincenti went on a run of scoring seven times within the space of nine matches. This spanned from August to October 2015. This resulted in him being named the EFL League One Player of the Month for October 2015. After the run of goals early in the season, Vincenti did not score again for four months. This ended when he came on as a second-half substitute and opened the scoring in an eventual 2–0 victory over Sheffield United on 27 February 2016. He played 43 times during the season, scoring eight goals, as Rochdale once again finished outside of the play-off positions in tenth place.
A reoccurring ankle problem resulted in Vincenti playing just four times in the opening half of the 2016–17 season. He underwent ankle surgery in October 2016, with the club estimating the injury would keep Vincenti out for up to four months. Vincenti returned to the first-team on 21 January 2017, appearing as a half-time substitute in Rochdale's 4–0 home defeat to Oxford United. He scored his only goal of the season in the club's 4–1 win over Gillingham on 18 March 2017. Vincenti made 16 appearances during the injury-disrupted season. During his four years at Rochdale, Vincenti scored 32 times in 152 games, with the club gaining promotion and establishing themselves as a League One team during his time there.
Coventry City
Despite having a year left on his contract, Vincenti left Rochdale by mutual consent and signed a two-year contract with recently-relegated League Two club Coventry City on 21 June 2017. Coventry manager Mark Robins highlighted Vincenti's versatility and experience as two of the main reasons behind signing the player. He made his debut in the club's opening game of the 2017–18 season, playing the whole match as Coventry secured a 3–0 win against Notts County at the Ricoh Arena. Vincenti scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 home win against Carlisle United on 12 September 2017. He played for most of the season with an ankle injury, which Robins stated Vincenti would have surgery on in the summer. Vincenti made 29 appearances during his only season with the club, scoring three times, as Coventry won promotion back to League One via the play-offs.
Macclesfield Town
Vincenti was released from his contract at Coventry ahead of the 2018–19 season in order to join newly promoted League Two club Macclesfield Town on a two-year deal on 9 August 2018. He made his debut for Macclesfield on 1 September 2018, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute in a 3–0 away loss to Crewe Alexandra. Vincenti scored his first goal for Macclesfield in the club's 4–1 away loss to Accrington Stanley in the EFL Trophy on 9 October 2018. He scored in a 2–1 victory over Carlisle United on 20 October 2018. Vincenti's 83rd-minute winning goal in the game ended Macclesfield's run of 36 consecutive Football League matches without a win, which stretched back to their last spell in League Two in 2012, and stopped the club breaking the previous record for most Football League matches without a win. The goal turned out to be Vincenti's last goal of the season, and he did not appear for Macclesfield during the second half of the campaign. Vincenti made 19 appearances during the season, scoring twice.
Having not played first-team football for eight months, Vincenti joined National League North club Hereford on a loan deal until January on 20 September 2019. A day later, he scored on his debut in a 5–2 home victory over Truro City in the FA Cup. He scored five times in 15 appearances during the loan agreement. Vincenti left Macclesfield when his contract expired in June 2020.
Return to Jersey
Without a club at the start of the 2020–21 season, Vincenti returned to his hometown and began to train with St. Peter, the club he first represented at senior level, in September 2020. He signed a contract to play for the club for the "next couple of weeks" whilst he looked for employment on the island. He made his second debut in St. Peter's 2–2 draw with St. Brelade's in the Wheway Memorial Trophy on 30 September 2020, which St. Peter ultimately won 8–7 in a penalty shootout.
Style of play
Vincenti has described himself as a "utility player" and considers his versatility as an asset. After signing Vincenti for Coventry, manager Mark Robins highlighted Vincenti's versatility as a reason behind signing the player. Vincenti says that his favourite position is as an attacking midfielder, where he "can make late runs into the box and hope to get on the end of any crosses".
He also says he is comfortable playing in central midfield and as a forward, but would ultimately "play anywhere the manager tells him to". He considers his height to be an "attacking threat", which is one of the reasons he likes to arrive late into the box. Mansfield Town manager David Holdsworth said that Vincenti's height "means he is very much a threat from set pieces".
Coaching career
A UEFA B Licence coach, Vincenti was appointed as the academy director at St. Peter on 24 January 2021.
Personal life
Following his move back to Jersey at the end of his professional playing career, Vincenti started a new career in the finance industry, working with the Sanne Group, moving to JTC Group in 2023. He is also a qualified referee.

Santiago Brouard or Santi Brouard (1919 in Lekeitio – 20 November 1984 in Bilbao) was a doctor and Basque politician. He was one of the leaders of Herri Batasuna, and deputy mayor of Bilbao. He was killed by the Spanish government's death squad, the Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación (GAL), in one of its highest-profile acts. Broaurd was shot by GAL gunmen Luis Morcillo and Rafael López Ocaña as he left his paediatric clinic in Bilbao.
Early years
Born in the town of Lekeitio, he studied medicine in the university of Valladolid. After finishing his studies, he went back to the Basque Country and specialized in paediatrics in Basurtu hospital. He married Teresa Aldamiz, with whom he had three children. He helped create the first ikastolas (schools where lessons were given in Basque language) in Bizkaia.
Joining politics
In 1974, Brouard had to escape to the Northern Basque Country (French side of the Basque Country) after he treated an ETA member who had been shot by the Spanish police. There he met leading ETA members, such as Argala. He took part in the creation of the KAS alternatiba when Franco's regime was about to end. Brouard was one of the creators of EHAS, the group that after 1977 would be known as HASI. Brouard was named president of HASI and when Herri Batasuna was created, he became a member of that party. He always saw himself as Basque nationalist and socialist.
When he returned from exile, he resumed work as a doctor and remained active in politics. He was sent to prison in 1983 together with other Herri Batasuna members accused of singing the Basque fighters' song Eusko Gudariak when the Spanish King Juan Carlos I went to Gernika. They interrupted his speech and all members who were singing had to be led out of the building, amid protests. He became a member of the National Executive of Herri Batasuna, and later became a deputy in the Spanish parliament in Madrid. At the same time, he was a deputy mayor of Bilbao.
Death
Santi Brouard had been warned that right-wing Spanish paramilitary groups had targeted him, but he said he would not flee and that he would not lock his office door because of it. On 20 November 1984 Luis Morcillo and Rafael López Ocaña shot him dead at his workplace.
The police investigation identified and accused Morcillo and López Ocaña of killing Brouard, but a judge in the Audiencia Nacional of Spain released them from prison in 1999. In 2013, Morcillo stated that the killing was ordered by Guardia Civil commander Rafael Masa, probably at the instigation of Julián Sancristóbal, then a State Security official. The killers were paid 7.5 m pesetas by the Ministry of the Interior.
Recognitions
The mayor of Bilbao named a street after Brouard in the neighbourhood of Ametzola.
The mayor of Lekeitio named the public sportsfield of the town after him.

The DataHand is an unconventional computer keyboard introduced by 1990, by DataHand Systems, Inc, designed to be operated without any wrist motion or finger extension.
History
Datahand Systems, Inc. was founded in 1985. It was invented by Dale J. Retter and produced as early as 1990.
After the initial prototype was released in 1995, DataHand released the Professional and Professional II models with new bodies. The Professional II also has extended programming capabilities over the Professional, being able to record macros of keystrokes for convenient use.
DataHand Systems, Inc. announced in early 2008 that it was ceasing to sell its keyboards. The company web site states that due to supplier issues, the company will not sell the DataHand keyboard "until a new manufacturer can be identified". In January 2009, the company's website started taking orders for a "limited number of new DataHand Pro II units". Circa 19 April 2010, DataHand were out of stock.
In 2019, a longtime Datahand user going by the pseudonym JesusFreke released an open source Datahand-style device called the lalboard, with plastic parts manufacturable on a home 3D printer, hand-solderable circuit boards, and off-the-shelf magnets. The mechanism is essentially the same as the Datahand, using magnets for key return and optointerrupters to sense the movements of the keys.
In 2023, another longtime Datahand user released a small-run production device called Svalboard, evolving the lalboard design into a manufacturable product.
Layout
It consists of two separate "keyboards", one for the left hand and one for the right. Each finger activates five buttons: the four compass directions as well as down. The thumbs also have five buttons: one inside, two outside, up and down.
The layout is initially similar to a QWERTY keyboard, but the middle two columns of keys (i.e. H,Y,G...) have been delegated to sideways finger movements, and all of the keys outside of the main three rows are accessed through two additional modes, including a mode for mousing. There are three primary modes all together: letters, number and symbols, and function / mouse mode. Some practice is required. However, eventual typing speedups are possible.
Rather than being spring-loaded, the buttons are held in place with magnets and are activated using optical sensors. This was done in order to reduce the finger workload while still giving tactile feedback. The button modules in which the fingers rest are adjustable—each side can be independently moved vertically or forward and back.".
In popular culture
The keyboard was seen in the 1997 sci-fi movie Contact as the controls for a spaceship.
It appears in the 2006 spy movie Stormbreaker.
The Industrial Innovations version was featured on the television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
A black model is used by Agent Grasso while searching for Amanda Givens' Jeep in Shadow Conspiracy (1997).
Several boxes of the keyboard are seen in Teddy KGB's office near the end of the film Rounders (film) (1998).

Corbin Sharun (born September 6, 1988) is a professional Canadian football defensive back and special teams specialist who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Edmonton Eskimos in 2010, where he played for five seasons. He played college football for the St. Francis Xavier University X-Men and junior football for the Edmonton Wildcats.
Early career
Sharun was born in Edmonton, Alberta. He played high school football at Strathcona Composite High School as a quarterback, winning three consecutive city championships. He continued as a quarterback for the X-Men at St. Francis Xavier University from 2006 to 2007. In his freshman year, Sharun started three games before serving as a backup for the majority of his remaining time there. After discovering his father had colon cancer in early 2008, Sharun returned home and joined the Edmonton Wildcats of the Canadian Junior Football League. where he switched to the safety position. The Edmonton Sun reported that he took on a defensive role to increase his likelihood of playing professionally. While with the championship-winning Wildcats in 2009, Sharun was named an All-Canadian. He accumulated 25 tackles, five interceptions (including one returned for a touchdown), and a fumble recovery in his final year with the Wildcats.
Professional career
Edmonton Eskimos
Sharun was selected by the Edmonton Eskimos in the sixth round of the 2010 CFL Draft before that year's season with the 43rd overall pick. The Eskimos signed Sharun to a three-year contract with an option for a fourth year on May 4, 2010.
Sharun participated in training camp with the Eskimos in 2010 and practiced with the first team as a safety, but was moved to the practice squad when the team was reduced to 46 players. The Eskimos went on to transfer Sharun between the active and practice rosters several times throughout the year. He made his CFL debut on July 11, 2010 against the Montreal Alouettes, and later recorded his first special teams tackle on August 6 against the Toronto Argonauts. In a game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on August 28, Sharun blocked a punt to set up the Eskimos' only touchdown along the way to scoring 17 unanswered points to win 17–14. In his rookie season, Sharun recorded 16 special teams tackles while playing in 15 regular season games, along with one defensive tackle.
Sharun played in all 18 games throughout the regular season of 2011. Cementing his role as a special teams player, Sharun made 25 special teams tackles in the regular season, tying the team's single-season record previously held solely by Bruce Dickinson. His franchise record was later broken by Deon Lacey in 2014. He recorded the second highest total of special teams tackles in the CFL, leading the West division in that category. Playing against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on July 9, 2011, Sharun recorded a career-high four tackles. He made one special teams tackle during the playoffs. The Eskimos finished the season with a winning record of 11–7 and finished second in the West division. The Calgary Stampeders lost the West Finals to the BC Lions, eventual Grey Cup champions. Sharun was active in both playoff games.
Sharun played in 13 regular season games and registered 13 special teams tackles during the 2012 season. He was placed on the six-game injured list in October. In a September 7 game against the Stampeders, Sharun caught an unlikely pass from third-string quarterback and holder Matt Nichols following a failed field goal snap and ran 35 yards for both players' first career touchdown.
In the 2013 CFL, Sharun played in 11 games and recorded 14 special teams tackles, including three total tackles in the September 6 game against the Stampeders. He began the season on the practice roster after being cut when the Eskimos reduced their roster to 46 players, but returned to the active roster on July 12.
Sharun achieved nine special teams tackles over 13 games during the 2014 season. He also played in two playoff matches, recording an additional tackle. Sharun was placed on the injured list several times during the 2014 season, including a transfer to the six-game injured list in September. Following the 2014 season, Sharun was signed to a contract extension by the Eskimos but was released prior to the start of the regular season in 2015.
Calgary Stampeders
The Calgary Stampeders signed Sharun to their practice roster on July 28, 2015, where he remained for most of the season. He was activated for the West Final following an injury to Karl McCartney. In a loss at the West Final, Sharun made three special-teams tackles against his former team, the Eskimos. On June 19, 2016, Sharun was released by the Stampeders.

The OnePlus 3 (also abbreviated as OP3) is a smartphone produced by OnePlus. It was revealed on 14 June 2016. The phone was unveiled in a virtual reality event and OnePlus offered its customers Loop VR headsets to experience the event using their phones, giving away 30,000 free headsets in lieu of a traditional press conference.
History
Release
The OnePlus 3 is the first OnePlus device to not be part of the invite system, which OnePlus had used for its last three devices to regulate flow with inadequate manufacturing for the inevitable high demand.
Following some controversy, the OxygenOS 3.2.1 update began rollout on 7 July 2016, with improved RAM management, an alternate sRGB display mode in developer options, and various bug fixes.
Discontinuation
An updated version of the device, called the OnePlus 3T, was announced by the company on 15 November 2016 and released on 22 November. It improves upon the OnePlus 3 by including the newer Snapdragon 821 chipset, a 16MP front camera, along with a 3400mAh non-removable battery. Sales of the OnePlus 3 were discontinued on 17 November with the OnePlus 3T replacing it. It was also announced the phone will share the same software update cycle with its successor starting from Android N.
After owners of the phone expressed concern whether their phone would be abandoned after the release of the OnePlus 5, it was confirmed by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau that the phone and its predecessor would eventually receive a software update to Android O. It was also announced that it would be the last major update. On 8 September 2017, the phone started receiving Android O in closed beta with public beta updates following soon after as part of their community beta program. As of 19 September 2017, Android 8.0 Oreo has been delivered via software update.
Android 9 Update
On 30 June 2018, OnePlus updated their update policy for the OnePlus 3 and 3T, opting to update to Android Pie (9.0) instead of Android 8.1, and discontinued their Android 8 OpenBeta program. The first stable Android Pie update was rolled out to devices in May 2019. Including security updates and bug fixes, the latest firmware for the 3/3T is OxygenOS 9.0.6 based on Android 9.
Specifications
The OnePlus 3 features a new metal back design, similar to that of an HTC M9 or later, with anodised aluminium and curved edges. The device is available in two colors, Graphite (black/gray) and Soft Gold (white/gold, released later in August 2016.) Additionally, users can purchase protective covers in Kevlar or black apricot wood, bamboo, rosewood, and sandstone which takes care of the camera hump and evens it with the phone.
The device is slightly smaller than its predecessor, the OnePlus 2. It's 2.5mm thinner, 0.9mm shorter, and 0.2mm narrower, but still has the same screen size, at across diagonally. The display is still 1920×1080 px, comparable to that of the previous two models, but the 3 is the first flagship OnePlus to have an optic AMOLED display. As is typical for most smartphones, the OnePlus 3 features Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.
The OnePlus 3 is also the first OnePlus phone to ship with only 64 GB of storage available, as all other OnePlus devices have shipped with a 16 GB option also. The onboard storage is UFS 2.0, but there is no option for memory expansion via an SD card. The OnePlus 3 supports Dual SIM cards, but lacks LTE band 13, which means it will not work with Verizon. The OnePlus 3 will also not work with Sprint due to Sprint's use of an IMEI/MEID whitelist which does not include most OnePlus devices.
For the rear-facing camera, the OnePlus 3 has a 16 MP f/2.0 Sony IMX 298 sensor, with both optical image stabilisation and electronic image stabilisation. It is capable of 4K video at 30fps, and 720p slo-mo video at 120fps. Further, it includes support for shooting RAW images, allowing greater control of the image to the user. The front camera is an 8 MP f/2.0 Sony IMX179 sensor, with 1080p at 30fps video and fixed focus.One new feature to the OnePlus 3 is Dash Charge. It is a custom version of OnePlus' parent company's (OPPO Electronics) VOOC Charging. The feature is made possible by the processor, which has Quick Charge 3.0 support. According to the company, the battery can achieve a 60% or more charge within 30 minutes. This is accomplished by doing all the power transforming required for direct input to the battery in the power brick supplied, not within the phone itself, reducing heat on the device. Additionally, the power brick can contain larger, dedicated electronics, whereas any power processing on a phone has to use smaller and cooler equipment, reducing the speed of charging.
Other features include the alert slider, originally added to the OnePlus 2. NFC was added again from the OnePlus One (as it was absent from OnePlus 2).
A fingerprint scanner is also found at the bottom of the screen. It is estimated to unlock after approximately 0.3 seconds, becoming one of the fastest scanners on a phone. The fingerprint scanner also has a ceramic coating to avoid scratches.

Reception
General reception included positive reviews from both critiques and reviewers for a premium designed phone for an affordable price. But reviewers were quick to point out the camera bezel with a subpar camera. Reviewers also critiqued the phone not having an SD card slot as the phone only came with 64 GB of storage. Reports also claim that the phone experienced heating issues. Several reports also claimed that despite the OnePlus 3's 6 GB of RAM, the phone could not handle more than 3 or 4 applications at one time. Ars Technica added that OnePlus configured its build of Android to impose an artificial limit of 20 applications stored in RAM at a time. OnePlus indicated this was a deliberate choice to maximize battery life.
The Verge gave the OnePlus 3 an 8.6/10, praising its great build quality, high performance and sharp display. However, The Verge had some reservations about the phone, noting that it does not work on the US Verizon or Sprint networks, it does not have an SD Card slot, and the quick charging is limited to a OnePlus-specific cable and power brick. Nonetheless, they conclude that "The OnePlus 3 is the rare kind of phone [we] can recommend without reservations".
On launch, XDA Developers called the OnePlus 3 the "Perfect Canvas for the Spec-Hungry Tinkerer". In January they discovered that with the launch of the Android 7.0 Nougat update, OnePlus introduced a software defeat device into the code of the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T, relaxing thermal throttling and increasing clock speeds when the phone detected that it was in a benchmark app, in order to boost benchmark scores. This came as a bit of a shock to much of the Android enthusiast community, as every major manufacturer had removed their benchmark cheating code following the massive backlash that occurred when it was originally discovered on other devices in 2013. OnePlus immediately stated that they would be removing the benchmark cheating from future software versions, and that they weren't sure how it made it into a production build. OnePlus later reversed this decision with the OnePlus 5, reintroducing the software that locked clock speeds to their maximum while in a benchmark.

Brose is a Scots word for an uncooked form of porridge: oatmeal (and/or other meals) is mixed with boiling water (or stock) and allowed to stand for a short time. It is eaten with salt and butter, milk or buttermilk. A version of brose made with ground oats and cold water is called crowdie, although that term is more often used for a type of cheese.
Brose is generally denser and more sustaining than porridge, and is best made with medium or coarse oatmeal—not rolled (flattened) "porage oats".
In the 16th century, a mixture of oatmeal and water was carried by shepherds; brose resulted from the agitation of the mixture as they climbed the hills.
In addition to oats, brose can be made with barley meal, peasemeal, or a mixture of different meals. Other ingredients, such as nettle tops, kale, and swede may be added to the basic brose.
Atholl brose (or Athol Brose, Athole Brose) is a Scottish alcoholic drink of oatmeal brose, honey, whisky and sometimes cream (particularly on festive occasions).

Félicien Robert Challaye (1 November 1875 – 26 April 1967) was a French philosopher, anti-colonialist and human rights activist.
Early life
Félicien Challaye was born on 1 November 1875 in Lyon, France. He earned the agrégation in Philosophy in 1897.
Career
Challaye was a high school teacher of philosophy in Paris from 1903 to 1937. He served as Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza's secretary on his 1905 trip to the Congo. Three years later, in 1908, he founded a human rights organization for the indigenous people of the Congo. He subsequently served as the vice president of the Human Rights League.
Challaye served in World War I, and he was wounded in combat in 1915. After the war, he became a staunch pacifist. By 1931, he suggested he preferred peace to war, even if France had to be invaded by Germany.
Challaye was the author of many books on philosophy. He also published children's books under the pseudonym of Robert Fougère.
Death and legacy
Challaye died on 26 April 1967 in Paris, France. The rue Félicien Challaye in Tunis, Tunisia was named in his honor.

Romeo Is Bleeding is a 1993 neo-noir crime thriller film directed by Peter Medak, written and produced by Hilary Henkin, and starring Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, Annabella Sciorra, Juliette Lewis, and Roy Scheider. It follows a psychosexual cat-and-mouse game between a corrupt cop (Oldman), and a ruthless mob assassin (Olin) who begins to unravel his carefully constructed double life. The film's title was taken from a song by Tom Waits.
Released in the United States by Gramercy Pictures, the film was critically unsuccessful and did not perform well at the box office (grossing $7 million from a $10 million budget), although its acting has garnered praise.
Plot
Jack Grimaldi is an NYPD homicide detective who seems to have everything; a beautiful wife named Natalie, and an adoring teenage mistress named Sheri. However, his lavish lifestyle is funded through extensive corruption, doing favors for Mafia boss Don Falcone in exchange for large cash bribes. Jack's latest task is to reveal the location of Nick Gazarra, a mobster-turned-state's witness protected by federal agents. Gazarra and his protection detail are subsequently killed by a mob hitwoman, Mona Demarkov. Grimaldi is disaffected by this outcome, being uncomfortable with his complicity in the deaths of other law enforcement personnel.
Mona is arrested and Falcone assigns Jack to kill her, as he fears that she could not only testify against him but take over his entire operation. Still reluctant about his double life, Jack is assigned as Mona's minder as she is transported to a safe house to await pick-up by federal agents. Upon arrival, Mona quickly seduces and tries to kill Jack, but their impromptu tryst is interrupted by the arrival of the agents. Jack leaves her to be detained.
Falcone, disappointed in Jack's ineptitude, orders one of his toes amputated. Realizing he has endangered both his wife and mistress, Jack instructs Natalie to leave the city immediately, giving her all of the payoff money he has saved as well as instructions for where to meet him out West when the time is right. Jack also ends his affair with Sheri and puts her on a train out of the city. He tries to hunt Mona but is attracted to her sexually and no match for her professionally. Mona offers to pay Jack to help her fake her own death.
tAlthough he obtains false papers for her, Mona refuses to pay and attempts to strangle Jack. He shoots and wounds her in the arm, then tries to drive away with her handcuffed in the back seat. Mona escapes by hooking her legs around his neck, causing him to crash the car. She slithers out through the shattered windshield without freeing her hands. Mona lures Jack to an empty apartment. He again attempts to kill her but is tricked into shooting Sheri instead. Mona fixes the corpse so as to suggest that it was she, and not Sheri, who died. Mona has Jack abducted and transported to an abandoned warehouse: she handcuffs him to a bed and they have sex. Later she forces Jack to assist in burying Falcone alive.
Mona betrays Jack by turning him in to the police, copping a plea deal that will indict Jack for the multiple murders that she tricked him into committing. The police arrange a confrontation between Jack and Mona at the courthouse. She threatens to kill his wife, prompting Jack to grab a gun from the ankle holster of a fellow officer and shoot her dead. He turns the gun on himself, only to discover that the revolver is now empty. Instead of being sent to prison for the murder, he is given a commendation. This frees him to begin a new life out West, under the identity of "Jim Daugherty". The final scene shows Jack living alone in a remote desert town and working at a diner. He longs for Natalie's return and laments the loss of his old life.

Production
The film was filmed on location in New York City in Coney Island, Bushwick, Manhattan, and Queens.
Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song "Always" for the film but withheld the track after he was dissatisfied with a preview screening. Bon Jovi in 2004 recalled, "The script was great: the movie wasn't."
Reception
Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert said that while Oldman is "unsurpassable" in portraying depraved characters, the film is "an exercise in overwrought style and overwritten melodrama, and proof that a great cast cannot save a film from self-destruction." Todd McCarthy of Variety also had praise for the central cast, but called the film a "heavy dose of ultra-violent neo-noir" whose "far-fetched plotting eventually goes so far over the top that [the] pic flirts with inventing a new genre of film noir camp." New York Times journalist Janet Maslin lauded Oldman as a "master craftsman" who gives an "uncanny performance as a slang-spouting American", but concluded, "For all its promise, and for all the brittle beauty of Dariusz Wolski's cinematography, Romeo Is Bleeding eventually collapses under the weight of its violent affectations." A favorable Peter Travers in Rolling Stone called the film a "scorcher of a thriller" with a "knockout performance" by Olin. He added, "It will be a shame if audiences don't get the joke".
In a retrospective review, Dennis Schwartz referred to the film as a "senseless, tasteless and demented postmodern noir", but commended Olin's "menacing" turn as well as the initial interaction between Oldman and Scheider. Randy Miller of DVD Talk wrote, "It's a wild and entertaining ride, to be sure... but not one without its fair share of bumps along the way, and one you probably won't revisit on a regular basis. Still, there's enough here to warrant another look." MSN Movies noted, "While not a great movie – or even a good movie, according to most critics – Gary Oldman's performance as corrupt cop Jack Grimaldi is still highly regarded". Romeo Is Bleeding holds a 27% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 41 reviews, with an average score of 4.7/10.

Saint Helena Sound is a coastal inlet in the Lowcountry region South Carolina, located along the Atlantic Ocean between Beaufort and Colleton counties. Located within the relatively undeveloped ACE Basin, the sound consists of the mouths of the Ashepoo, Combahee, and the south branch of the Edisto rivers, of which the ACE moniker derives from. The inlet is located east of Beaufort, between Edisto Island and Hunting Island. At its widest point, Saint Helena Sound is across. The Intracoastal Waterway crosses the sound. Much of the land surrounding St. Helena Sound has been preserved through the St. Helena Sound Heritage Preserve and the larger ACE Basin project.

The Tollensians (, ) were a West Slavic tribe inhabiting the shores of the lower and middle Tollense (Dołęża) river, after which they were named. They were part of the Veleti/Lutician federation. During the civil war within the federation (1057-1060) the Dołężanie allied with the Redarians against the Kessini and the Circipani. Although the Redarian/Dołężan side was victorious, the devastation caused by the civil war led to the fall of the Lutician federation. In 1110, upon getting news of the defeat of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V in the German-Polish War of 1109 the Dołężanie and the Redarians rebelled against German authority. The uprising was quelled by Lothair of Supplinburg, who had recently been made Duke of Saxony by Henry.
In the 12th century they were incorporated into the Duchy of Western Pomerania.

× Sophrolaeliocattleya (from Sophronitis, Laelia and Cattleya, its parent genera) is a nothogenus of artificial intergeneric orchid hybrids. It is abbreviated as Slc. in the horticultural trade.
As of 2008, × Sophrolaeliocattleya is defunct, with the genus Sophronitis having been merged into Cattleya.
Anatomy, morphology and habit
× Sophrolaeliocattleya often shows the influence of its Sophronitis parent strongly; its flowers tend to range through yellow-orange to red, they tend to be smaller, and the general habit of the plant tends to be comparatively compact, all characteristics shared with Sophronitis.
Etymology and taxonomic history
This nothogeneric epithet is derived by putting together the component genera: Sophronitis (combining form -), Laelia (combining form -) and Cattleya; it is capitalized and is not italicized because it is a nothogeneric epithet. By 1999, the component genera had been rather stable (with the exception of the discovery of new species) for many decades.
In 2000, many (if not most) of the species of Laelia which had been used in producing Slc. hybrids were moved into the genus Sophronitis. As a result, many greges which had been in × Sophrolaeliocattleya were moved into the nothogenus × Sophrocattleya, abbreviated Sc.
In 2008, the genus Sophronitis was merged into Cattleya, making the nothogenera × Sophrolaeliocattleya and × Sophrocattleya defunct. At the same time, several species of Cattleya which had been widely used in hybridization were moved into the new genus Guarianthe. As a result, greges which were once classified in × Sophrolaeliocattleya are now found in several genera and nothogenera:
Importance to humans
× Sophrolaeliocattleya and other Sophronitis hybrids are commonly crossed to produce a desirable orange or red bloom not generally present in Cattleya hybrids not involving Sophronitis, and the compact shape is well suited for artificial light gardens.

Sigmund A. Rolat or Zygmunt Rolat (born July 1, 1930) is a philanthropist, art collector and businessman. He is a founding donor of Polin, The Museum of the History of Polish Jews and a key supporter of numerous charitable endeavors.
Early life
Sigmund A. Rolat (originally Zygmunt Rozenblat) was born on July 1, 1930, in Częstochowa, Poland. His grandfather Abram Rozenblat was the founder of the first Jewish elementary school where all subjects were taught exclusively in Polish. Rolat's happy childhood in pre-war Częstochowa left unforgettable memories. In numerous memoirs and in interviews given to the media around the world, Rolat always refers to Częstochowa as his "little homeland".
World War II
Rolat survived the Holocaust in the Częstochowa Ghetto, in hiding and as a forced laborer in the Hasag Pelcery labor camp. His parents and older brother lost their lives during the German occupation of Poland. Rolat's father Henryk participated in the uprising in Treblinka. His mother Mariane was murdered in the Jewish cemetery and buried in a mass grave there. His brother Jerzyk, the youngest member of the Częstochowa Jewish resistance, was executed by the Nazis at the Jewish cemetery along with five older friends in March 1943. Rolat's Polish nanny Elka also perished choosing to remain in the ghetto because she did not want to abandon the young Sigmund.
After the war
Rolat was liberated from the Hasag Pelcery camp in January 1945. He decided to leave Częstochowa with the pain and grief of losing the entire immediate family, close and distant relatives, friends from the neighborhood, schoolmates and acquaintances. He went to France and then moved to Germany where he received his high school diploma. In February 1948, Rolat arrived in the United States with just eight dollars in his pocket. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati and New York University and eventually built a sizable international finance company. Business opportunities in Poland after the fall of communism gave Rolat the chance to reconnect with his birthplace, inspiring him to work towards preserving Poland's rich Jewish history.
Philanthropy
Sigmund Rolat is one of the prime financial supporters and ambassadors for the restoration of Polish Jewry's place in Polish and world history. Currently, Rolat's chief philanthropic endeavor is Polin, The Museum of the History of Polish Jews. He is a founding donor of this important museum built on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto, and serves as the Chairman of the North American Council of the museum. He is a longtime supporter of Yad Vashem and the American Society for Yad Vashem. He has achieved the status of Builder at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem by donating generously and often. He has also been recognized for the generous donation of the works of Private Tolkatchev as well as other artwork to Yad Vashem's collection.
A lover of the arts, Rolat is a key supporter of the annual Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków, a patron of Warsaw's Singer Jewish Culture Festival, the honorary Chairman of the Friends of the Jewish Culture Festival Association, the sponsor of the 8th Edition of the Bronislaw Huberman Violin Festival in Częstochowa, and a supporter of both the Bronislaw Huberman Częstochowa Philharmonic and the Grand Theater – National Opera in Warsaw.
Monument controversy: From Those You Saved
Sigmund Rolat is the founder of the Remembrance and Future Foundation that organized the controversial monument competition From Those You Saved in Warsaw, to commemorate Polish righteous gentiles who saved Jews during the Holocaust. The plans to erect the monument next to the POLIN Museum, in the heart of the former Warsaw Ghetto, were harshly criticized by a significant number of Polish Jews. The president of the Jewish Community of Warsaw (pl) Anna Chipczyńska said she had regrets that they could not find an alternative site that would allow both the honouring of the Righteous Among the Nations as well as avoiding controversies and disagreements. Polish writer Bożena Keff expressed her view that the location of the monument was less about respecting history and more an act of propaganda. The winners of the competition, Austrian architect Gabu Heindl and artist Eduard Freudmann, decided to include the controversies in their monument project and proposed to plant a forest nursery consisting of thousands of saplings next to the museum. After 1,5 years the saplings would be replanted as a forest at an urban location in Warsaw to be agreed upon by the protagonists of the conflict.
An international jury of 10 architects, artists, and curators chose The Monument May Be A Forest as the winning proposal, because the project represented the commemoration of the processual aspect rather than just using imposing physical presence, it is based on "notions of care, commitment, fragility and risk" as well as the actual act of sheltering the Jews and has the potential to spread the commemoration across time and space." POLIN's deputy director Zygmunt Stępiński said it was a good opportunity for the museum, opening up space for an educational program that had the opportunity to spread across the country. He also considered it was more complex than just setting a monument in front of the museum. The architect of the POLIN Museum, Rainer Mahlamäki, one of the judges who voted for the trees, sees the winner of the competition as a new type of art and memorial as opposed to a monument. After the jury's decision had been published in April 2015, Sigmund Rolat denounced the design. In February 2016 Rolat invited the Israeli sculptor Dani Karavan to take on the project but he declined after he had read an article written by Freudmann and Heindl, in which they criticize the foundation and their course of action. In April 2016 Karavan announced that he accepted the commission to build the monument, thereby sparking another furor. To this day the monument for the Polish righteous gentiles has not been built.
Awards and honors
Sigmund Rolat has received numerous awards, including the title Patron of the Arts, Patron of Culture and the title Honorary Citizen of the City by officials in Częstochowa.
On May 9, 2016, Rolat received The Jan Karski Humanitarian Award at the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York City. The Award was established by The Polish-Jewish Dialogue Committee.
In December 2014, in New York, he received the Remembrance Award from Yad Vashem Society's chair Leonard Wilf.
In October 2014 Rolat was appointed the Honorary Professor at Jan Długosz University in his native Częstochowa.
On September 19, 2013, Rolat was awarded Poland's highest honor for citizens who live abroad, the Commander's Cross with Star of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland for achievements in Polish-Jewish dialogue presented personally in New York City by President Bronislaw Komorowski.
In November 2013 he received the Spirit of Jan Karski Award at David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies 10th Anniversary Dinner.
In recognition of his efforts at Polin, The Museum of the History of Polish Jews, President Lech Kaczynski honored him with the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland during the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on April 19, 2008.
Recent public appearances
On June 11, 2015, at an event at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio honored Rolat, by proclaiming it "Sigmund Rolat Day" in the City of New York.
On April 18, 2015, Rolat spoke at a March of the Living event at the University of Warsaw honoring Survivors, Liberators, and Righteous Among the Nations. In his speech to students from around the world, he advocated for the building of a monument to the Righteous Among the Nations in Warsaw. He said: "We will say thank you properly and in years long from now your children will come here and they will also see that monument to thank those who saved us.."
On April 16, 2015, Sigmund Rolat was the guest of honor at the International March of the Living memorial ceremony in Auschwitz-Birkenau on Holocaust Remembrance Day. His eloquent speech delivered to approx 10,000 young people and survivors appeared in both Polish and English media and was reprinted in more than 50 newspapers.
In his speech, Rolat stated that he had no choice but to remember the Holocaust, but challenged the young people – who do have a choice – to also remember, giving them four reasons to do so: solidarity with those who survived, the simple decency of keeping alive the memory of the victims by mourning their loss, and fear that this might happen again to others unless we learn from history. He concluded his remarks with a fourth reason to remember: gratitude "to those Poles who – like my Elka – risked their lives to save Jews from the chimneys of Auschwitz. From the ghetto walls of Czestochowa. From the abyss. And our gratitude toward them is the fourth reason to remember."
On December 3, 2014, Rolat, Joshua Bell and Budd Mishkin took part in a discussion following the screening of "The Return of the Violin". The documentary film, sponsored by Rolat, chronicles the journey of the Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius now owned and played by Bell.
On November 8, 2014, Rolat spoke at the Toronto premiere of the "Return of the Violin", as part of Toronto's Holocaust Education Week. "We opened the Museum on the 28th (of October 2014) 10 days ago. It was a wonderful, wonderful opening. I certainly am now so happy that really the most important task of my life which was Polin, The Museum of the History of Polish Jews [is completed] and that young people on the March of the Living who are coming to Poland will no longer see only the Auschwitz and Treblinka camps – they will also find out about [our] glorious, glorious thousand years in Poland and how much we accomplished in those days."
After the premiere of the "Return of the Violin", 14-year-old Tali Katz, a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, composed "Six", inspired by the bravery of Sigmund Rolat, as the only member of his immediate family to survive the Holocaust.
Family and personal
Sigmund Rolat has three children. Rolat lives in New York City and spends time in Bal Harbour, Florida.

1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
Notes
At first, only the World Championship Game was televised under the Wide World of Sports anthology umbrella on ABC. Since the late 1980s, when the tournament was reorganized, both the U.S. and international championships, the "semifinals," have been shown.
ESPN first began covering the games in 1982. With the expansion of ESPN's brand and its family of networks, the total number of games has significantly increased. In 2000, a total of 12 games were televised by ESPN. In addition, the popularity of the game increased the total number of teams from 8 to 16 and ESPN covered all eight U.S. regional championships in 2001 (something they still do today). This was as a result of a second stadium, Volunteer Stadium, which allowed games to take place simultaneously. Also that year, ABC began televising the U.S. Championship Game. That year, ESPN aired a total of 25 games. In 2003, ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 carried a total of 35 games including regional championships. All games aired on any ESPN network are also available via Internet streaming on ESPN3.
1985 - ABC carries the Little League World Series championship game live for the first time on Wide World of Sports. For the first time in baseball history, the home plate umpire wears a miniature camera on his mask.
1990s
Notes
1994 - A three-hour rain delay forced Wide World of Sports to go off the air on many ABC affiliates before the game could be completed. The West Coast however, got to see the remainder of the game live from Williamsport, Pa.
1997 - For the first time, U.S. Regional championship games in Little League Baseball are televised nationally on ESPN2.
2000s
Notes
2002 - Both the U.S. Championship and World Championship Games were televised live during prime time for the first time (6:30 ET). The World Championship Game was aired on tape delay on the West Coast.
In 2006, 28 of the 36 games were televised on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.
2006 - The World Championship Game was initially supposed to air on ABC. However, a rain delay caused the game to be postponed until following day (Monday, August 28, 2006). As a result, the Championship Game instead, aired on ESPN2.
In January 2007, it was announced that ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC had extended their contract with the Little League organization through 2014.

Zivar bay Ahmadbayov Monument () is a monument to the Azerbaijani architect Zivar bay Ahmadbayov, located in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, in the Yasamal district of the city. The monument is placed in front of the Nizami Ganjavi metro station, in the park named in Zivar bay Ahmadbayov honour, on the Jafar Jabbarli street. The sculptor of the monument is Natig Aliyev, the People's Artist of Azerbaijan.
History
The place for locating the monument in front of the Nizami Ganjavi metro station was not chosen by chance, as the building situated on the left side of the station was designed by Zivar bay Ahmadbayov himself.
The park and the monument were created in accordance with the order of the President of Azerbaijan. The opening ceremony of the Zivar bay Ahmadbayov park and monument took place on 26 May 2011. The ceremony was attended by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, as well as by the head of the Executive Power of Baku Hajibala Abutalibov.
The territory where the park and the monument are located was desolate for a long time. In the course of the work, canteens and kiosks were removed and a park was created on the territory of which various trees and flower bushes were planted, landscaping strips were laid, and a modern lighting system was installed. A complex of fountains was built at the entrance to the park and behind the monument. In addition, during the construction work, the Jafar Jabbarli street, located in front of the park, was covered with asphalt, and new granite sidewalks were built.

The Middle Haddam Historic District is a historic district in the town of East Hampton, Connecticut. It encompasses the village center of Middle Haddam, a riverfront community founded in the 17th century on the east bank of the Connecticut River. It was an important port on the river between about 1730 and 1880. Its layout and architecture are reflective of this history, and by the geographic constraints of the local terrain. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Description and history
Middle Haddam was settled in the 17th century as part of Middletown, Connecticut, and was incorporated as part of East Hampton in 1767. From an early date it was a shipbuilding community, with a sawmill on Mill Brook, which runs through the village. By the early 18th century, a ferry service was operating across the Connecticut River. By the time of the American Revolutionary War, it was a significant but small commercial center for a large agricultural area to the east, and became the locus of a road network serving those areas. It also acted as a shipment point for trade with the West Indies and the North American coast, and was the site of shipyards building ocean-going vessels.
The village and historic district are shaped by the local topography. The river forms the boundary to the west, and the inland boundaries are generally the result of steep slopes along the river bank or of the streams that pass through the area. The village's northern boundary is distinguished by a transition to later industrial development of Cobalt village, and to the south by a wooded open space and a more widely spaced development pattern. The district has 58 historically significant primary buildings, most of which were built before 1835, giving the village a distinctly Federal style. Its oldest buildings date to 1732. There is only one example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, built as a summer residence near the town landing.
Among others, the Princeton University and Yale Divinity School-educated Second Great Awakening evangelist James Brainerd Taylor (1801–1829) was born in Middle Haddam's historic district. As a boy, Taylor attended the town's still-standing Christ Episcopal Church (est. 1786).

LLNL HRS (hot recycled solid) process is an above-ground shale oil extraction technology. It is classified as a hot recycled solids technology.
History
The process was developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In 1984–1987, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory operated a LLNL HRS process-based pilot pant at Parachute, Colorado, with capacity of one tonne of oil shale per day. In 1989, the pilot plant was upgraded to process four tonne of oil shale per day. The pilot plant was operated till 1993. Later the process was modified and tested in the field of waste treatment and environmental cleanup for removing organic compounds and for decomposing sodium nitrate in contaminated soils.
Process
As a heat carrier, LLNL HRS process uses spent oil shale. Raw oil shale and spent oil shale are mixed in the fluidized bed mixer. The use of fluidized bed mixer results in better mixture, which in turn increases the mean quantity of oil yield and oil shale throughput. From the fluidized bed mixer oil shale moves downward to the packed-bed pyrolyzer. The heat is transferred from the heated spent oil shale to the raw oil shale causing pyrolysis. As a result, oil shale decomposes to shale oil vapors, oil shale gas and spent oil shale. Oil vapors are collected from the pyrolyzer. The spent oil shale, still including residual carbon (char), by the air pneumatic lift pipe to the delayed-fall combustor where it is combusted to heat the process. The delayed-fall combustor used in this process gives greater control over the combustion process as compared to a lift pipe combustor. From the delayed-fall combustor the oil shale ash and spent shale falls into a fluidized bed classifier where the finest parts of solids are removed and hot spent shale is forwarded to the fluidized bed mixer.

Nancy Marie Brown (born 1959) is an American author, having written five non-fiction books. In The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman, she reconstructed the life of Gudrid (born ca. 980), an Icelandic voyager known through the Vinland sagas. Her book, Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths, a Times Literary Supplement 2012 Book of the Year, concerned Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241), an Icelandic poet, historian and statesman. In her 2015 book, Ivory Vikings, the Mystery of the Most Famous Chessmen in the World and the Woman Who Made Them, she argues that Margret the Adroit made the Lewis Chessmen.

Mount Lemmon Survey (MLS) is a part of the Catalina Sky Survey with observatory code G96. MLS uses a cassegrain reflector telescope (with 10560x10560-pixel camera at the f/1.6 prime focus, for a five square degree field of view) operated by the Steward Observatory at Mount Lemmon Observatory, which is located at in the Santa Catalina Mountains northeast of Tucson, Arizona.
It is currently one of the most prolific surveys worldwide, especially for discovering near-Earth objects. MLS ranks among the top discoverers on the Minor Planet Center's discovery chart with a total of more than 50,000 numbered minor planets.
History
Andrea Boattini and the survey accidentally rediscovered 206P/Barnard-Boattini, a lost comet, on 7 October 2008. The comet has made 20 revolutions since 1892 and passed within 0.3–0.4 AU of Jupiter in 1922, 1934 and 2005. This comet was also the first comet to be discovered by photographic means, by the American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard, who did so on the night of 13 October 1892.
On 12 January 2008, Mount Lemmon Survey discovered the near-Earth asteroid at an apparent magnitude of 21 using a reflecting telescope.
was discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey on 27 September 2009 and it is a stable Mars trojan asteroid.
The survey also discovered the unusual Aten asteroid , a dynamically cold Kozai resonator, on 31 March 2012.

Hesse-Hanau was a territory in the Holy Roman Empire. It emerged when the former county of Hanau-Münzenberg became a secundogeniture of Hesse-Cassel in 1760. When the reigning count, William IX, also became landgrave of Hesse-Cassel in 1785, the two governments began to merge, although the process was delayed first by French occupation, and later by incorporation into the French satellite duchy of Frankfurt. The incorporation of Hesse-Hanau with Hesse-Cassel was not completed until 1821.
Secundogeniture
When the hereditary prince of Hesse-Cassel, the later Frederick II, converted to Roman Catholicism, his father, the reigning landgrave William VIII decided to do what he could to limit his son's future realm. He therefore made the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, incorporated with Hesse-Cassel in 1736, a secundogeniture of Hesse-Cassel, transferring it to the oldest son of Frederic, the hereditary count William.
Sovereignty
As count William was underage, his mother the landgravine, princess Mary of Great Britain, ruled as his legal guardian. After his access to the throne of Hesse-Cassel in 1760, landgrave Frederick II repeatedly tried to reunite Hesse-Hanau with Hesse-Cassel, but his efforts failed due to the resistance of Great Britain and the Protestant estates. As further protection, troops from Hanover were garrisoned in Hanau. When William came of age in 1764 he took over the government of the county. At the death of Frederick II in 1785, William became landgrave of Hesse-Cassel. The government of Hesse-Hanau remained in general separate from Hesse-Cassel. Cabinet and war office were, however, merged with those in Hesse-Cassel, and the court of appeal of Cassel got jurisdiction over Hanau in 1792. Until then Hesse-Hanau was ruled as an independent state, undergoing extensive modernizations with the erection of significant buildings in the capital of Hanau. Means for this came from the subsidies the reigning count received from his uncle, king George III of Great Britain. In return, Hesse-Hanau made available a contingent of 2,400 soldiers for the use of the British Crown in the American Revolutionary War.
Hesse-Hanau Contingent
The Hesse-Hanau contingent in the American Revolutionary War, contained the following units:
Hessen-Hanauisches Regiment Erbprinz 1776
Hessen-Hanauisches Jägerkorps Creutzburg 1777
Hessen-Hanauische Artillerie-Kompanie Pausch 1777
Hessen-Hanauisches Freikorps Janecke 1781
Napoleonic Wars
Hesse-Cassel became an electorate in 1803, while Hesse-Hanau became the principality of Hanau. However, in 1806 the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and Hesse-Cassel was incorporated into the French satellite Kingdom of Westphalia. Hanau came under French military occupation, then in 1810 was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, another French satellite. It was not until after the German War of Liberation in 1813 that the sovereignty of Hesse-Cassel was restored. The incorporation of Hanau into Hesse-Cassel was, however, not completed until the death of prince-elector William in 1821, and the administrative reforms under his successor William II, when the county became the of Hanau.

2009 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 3. During this off-year election, the only seats up for election in the United States Congress were special elections held throughout the year. In total, only the seat representing New York's 23rd congressional district changed party hands, increasing the Democratic Party's majority over the Republicans in the United States House of Representatives, 258–177.
However, there were also several gubernatorial races and state legislative elections, and numerous citizen initiatives, mayoral races in several major cities, and several types of local offices on the ballot.
Although the number of elections was relatively small considering it was an off-year election, Republicans dominated. Winning all statewide races including a senate race in Massachusetts, one of the most solidly Democratic states in the nation. These results represented the first in a pattern of Republican dominance in non-general election years during the Obama Presidency. Just one year later in 2010 Republicans gained 63 seats in the House of Representatives, six Senate seats, and 12 Governor's Mansions (net +6 gain). The pattern was repeated in 2014 when Republicans won unified control of Congress.
Federal elections
In total, there were five special elections to the United States House of Representatives during 2009. The only election which changed party hands (from Republican to Democratic) was in New York's 23rd congressional district.
Also, a primary election was held in Massachusetts on December 8, 2009, for the senate seat left open by the death of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy; the general special election for that later seat occurred on January 19, 2010.
State elections
Gubernatorial elections
New Jersey and Virginia, along with the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands, held gubernatorial elections in 2009. Both governorships in New Jersey and Virginia changed party hands from Democrat to Republican. This is the last time, both governors flipped parties in the same election. Meanwhile, the local Covenant Party maintained control of the governorship of the Northern Mariana Islands. This is the last time this seat would be up in an off-year.
State legislative
Legislative elections were held for the New Jersey General Assembly, the Virginia House of Delegates, and the Northern Mariana Islands Commonwealth Legislature. Both chambers of the Northern Mariana Islands legislature were up, which remains the last time they were up in this class of elections.
Democrats maintained control of the lower house of the New Jersey legislature, and Republicans did so in the lower chamber in Virginia. This remains the last time Democrats won more state legislative chambers and seats than Republicans.
Local elections
Cities, counties, school boards, special districts, and others elected members in 2009. Several large cities held mayoral elections in 2009, including: New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Minneapolis, Seattle, San Antonio, and Detroit.

Rib Mountain State Park is a Wisconsin state park near the city of Wausau. The park includes a ski resort, Granite Peak Ski Area, concession stand, picnic areas, a reservable amphitheater, a former quarry, observation tower, and 15.1 miles of trails. The park is ten miles (16 km) north-northwest of Central Wisconsin Airport.
History
Geologic
The park sits along top a long tall and narrow ridge of quartzite that rises from the relatively flat central Wisconsin plain. The quartzite ridge dates back to the Penokean orogeny ~1.8 billion years ago, before this the quartzite was a large sandstone deposit on the edge of a shallow sea. The volcanic activity that resulted from the orogeny metamorphosed the sandstone into the present day quartzite. The resulting quartzite is hard and much more resistant to erosion than the surrounding rock and over the following millennia the softer surrounding rock eroded away revealing the present day ridge.
Pre Colonial
Central Wisconsin, where the park is located was once populated by the Chippewa, they referred to the ridge as O-pic-wun-a-se-be, sometimes given as "Opigigan" or "Opigeganama." The first part of the word meaning rib. It was used as a lookout point and navigational landmark by both the Chippewa and early white explorers.
1800s
Early settlers sought to make use of the mountains mineral resources, many prospected for gold, but were unsuccessful. In 1893 Jacob Kolter began quarrying the quartzite on the west side of the mountain for use in the manufacture of sandpaper.
1900s
The quarry proved to be commercially successful and in 1900 the Wausau Sandpaper Company was incorporated to use the quartzite from the quarry for the manufacture of sandpaper. Two years later, in 1902, the Wausau Quartz Company was founded to crush the quartzite from the quarry for grinding and polishing purposes. The two companies merged in 1905 to form Wausau Abrasives, which was purchased by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing in 1929.
The Wausau Kiwanis Club recognized the mountain's recreational potential. The club bought 120 acres of land at the top in 1922 and 40 more acres years later. The club asked the Wisconsin Conservation Department (predecessor of the DNR) if Rib Mountain could become a state park and the department accepted a gift of 40 acres in 1923 with official park designation occurring in 1927.
Many men in the community made it a point to climb to the top of the mountain at least once a year, probably just to prove that they could do it, according to a 1926 article in the Wausau Daily Record Herald. It was not an easy climb because of the dense forest and lack of paths.
The mountain remained undeveloped until 1929 when a special committee of the local Chamber of Commerce spearheaded a drive to have a road built to the summit. The road was completed in 1931 and the Kiwanis Club funded a 200-foot entrance right-of-way.
In July 1935, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was set up on the west bank of the Wisconsin River in the town of Rib Mountain. The CCC created walking paths, widened the road, developed a campground and built a picnic area gazebo in the park. Around the same time Chamber of Commerce leader, Walter Roehl, had convinced the Conservation Department that Rib Mountain would make a fine winter ski area and the CCC began work on clearing the slopes and installing a T-bar lift.
The first ski event was the Central Ski Association Championship February 24–25, 1938. The slalom, downhill, cross-country and jumping events attracted more than 465 participants and 3,000 spectators.
The CCC built a shelter house, which was opened in December 1939. The shelter is still in use today by Granite Peak Ski Area. Land gifts expanded the park to 606 acres in 1970 and nearly 860 acres by 1982. In the early 1980s 3M closed the quarry and gifted it to the DNR for inclusion in the park. It is accessible via the parks trails, and can be used for bouldering, although no serious rock climbing is allowed due to the fractured rock. Remnants of the quarrying operation, including a dynamite shed can be found in the park.
2000s
In 2006, the upper level of the shelter/chalet was dedicated in honor of the 10th Mountain Alpine Division. The 10th Mountain Alpine Division served in the Italian Alps during WWII. Many of the original members of the Division are from the Wausau area and learned to ski at Rib Mountain.

Coppins is a country house north of the village of Iver in Buckinghamshire, England. Located only seven miles from Windsor castle, it was formerly a home to many members of the British royal family, including Princess Victoria, Prince George, Duke of Kent, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent (their son).
History
The house was originally a mid-nineteenth-century farmhouse built by John Mitchell, who arranged theatre visits for Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales. The house was substantially altered for Princess Victoria, who moved there after the death in 1925 of her mother Queen Alexandra.
Princess Victoria left Coppins to her nephew Prince George, Duke of Kent, when she died in 1935. From then until it was sold in 1972 to Commander Eli Gottlieb, it was the home of two generations of the Kent family.
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was a regular visitor to Coppins during school holidays while at Gordonstoun (1937–39) and Dartmouth Naval College (1939–40), and later when visiting with Princess Elizabeth. Prince George’s wife, Princess Marina, was Prince Philip’s paternal first cousin.
Prince Michael of Kent was born there on 4 July 1942. In 1944, Princess Marina's first cousin George II of Greece also stayed at Coppins.

Josephine Lips (born 8 July 1976) is an Australian former representative rower. She was a national champion and 2001 World champion.
Club and state rowing
A South Australian, Lip's senior rowing was done from Adelaide's Torrens Rowing Club.
Lips raced in South Australian representative women's crews who contested the Victoria Cup at the Interstate Regatta. Until 1998 that race was in lightweight coxless four shells and Lips raced in South Australian fours in 1995, 1997 and 1998. From 1999 the lightweight women's interstate race was contested in quad sculls. Lips raced for Victoria in quads in 1999 and 2001.
In Torrens colours Lips contested the 2001 lightweight quad sculls national title at the Australian Rowing Championships in a composite South Australian crew. She won that Australian title.
International representative rowing
Lips made her Australian representative debut at the 1995 Nations Cup in Groningen, Holland – the equivalent of today's World Rowing U23 Championships. She made three appearances for Australia at Nations Cup championships all in lightweight double sculls. She placed fifth at Groningen in 1995, fourth at Hazewinkel in 1996 and third at Milan in 1997.
She made her first Australian representative appearance in the lightweight quad who placed fifth at the 1998 World Rowing Championships in Cologne, Germany.
It would take three years before Lips made it back to an Australian crew at a World Championship but her timing was right in being picked for Lucerne 2001. She replaced Eliza Blair in the experienced quad who'd taken silver in 2000. With Catriona Roach and Lips' South Australian teammates Sally Causby and Amber Halliday, Lips rowed to gold and a World Championship title at Lucerne. That crew set two world records in the process.

Sir George Smith Clark, 1st Baronet, DL (8 November 1861 – 23 March 1935) was a businessman and politician in Northern Ireland. George S. Clark was born in Paisley, Scotland the second son of thread manufacturer James Clark, and Jane Smith; both his parents were Scottish Presbyterians.
Early life
Clark was educated at Merchiston Castle School, Edinburgh. He was apprenticed to Harland and Wolff in Belfast and, in 1877, opened his own shipyard on the river Lagan with Frank Workman. Clark's mother's brother, George Smith, was able to provide capital for this initial venture. In 1891 the firm became Workman, Clark and Company. During the First World War the shipyard concentrated on Admiralty work and it was for this that, in 1917, Clark received the Baronetcy of Dunlambert.
Personal life
In 1881 Clark married Frances Matier, and became a director of her family's linen firm; Henry Matier & Co. The couple had two sons. The family hosted computing pioneer Dora Metcalf in Belfast when she was introducing comptometery machines into the shipyards in 1916.
A leading Belfast Unionist
In a 1907 by-election he became Member of Parliament for North Belfast, retiring in 1910 to devote more attention to his business affairs. In 1913 the Workman Clark shipyard had assisted the UVF with the Larne gun running campaign encouraged by Sir Edward Carson. In 1925 Clark became a Unionist Senator in the Northern Ireland parliament. He remained in this position until his death at his home, Dunlambert, Fortwilliam Park, Belfast, on 23 March 1935. He also served as a Deputy Lieutenant and director of the Bank of Ireland.
Death and legacy
He was buried on 26 March in Belfast City Cemetery. The virtues of company law are such that despite the ruin of Workman, Clark & Co. Ltd. Sir George died a millionaire.
Upon his death his son, Sir George Clark, 2nd Baronet, succeeded to the baronetcy; he was a Cambridge-educated naval architect and soldier (d. 1950).

The main Offences against military law in the United Kingdom are set out in the Armed Forces Act 2006.
The offences fall into two main categories, discipline offences and criminal conduct offences. A second distinction is between those offences that can be dealt with by a Commanding Officer in a summary hearing, and those that can only be heard by the Court Martial.
Discipline offences
Discipline offences are those offences that can only be committed by members of the armed forces or, in a few cases, by a civilian subject to service discipline.
The table below lists the principal discipline offences, and indicates for each offence:
whether it can be committed by a civilian subject to military discipline as well as a service person
whether a commanding officer can deal with the offence at a summary hearing (though if the offender is a civilian subject to service discipline, it must be heard by the Service Civilian Court)
the maximum sentence available to a Court Martial trying the offence. The maximum punishment that a Commanding Officer hearing a charge summarily can impose is generally 28 days in service detention, or up to 90 days with the authority of a Major General or equivalent.
Note: Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 only applies to the sentences of 2.5 years or less.
Criminal conduct offences
The military offence of criminal conduct covers anything done anywhere in the world that, if done in England and Wales, would be against the civilian criminal law.
A Commanding Officer can deal with some criminal conduct offences committed by a service person at a summary hearing, including:
theft
taking a vehicle without consent
possession of a controlled drug
criminal damage
assault and battery
careless driving
drink driving
dangerous or careless cycling
Some more serious offences can be dealt with summarily with the permission of a major general or equivalent:
assault causing actual bodily harm
possession of an offensive weapon in a public place
fraud
dishonestly obtaining services
Criminal conduct offences committed by a civilian subject to service discipline (such as a contractor or civil servant supporting operations) are dealt with by the Service Civilian Court if they could be tried by a magistrates' court in England and Wales.
More serious offences, whether committed by a service person or a civilian subject to service discipline, must be tried by the Court Martial.
The maximum punishment that can be imposed for criminal conduct is the same as could be imposed by the appropriate civilian court, the Magistrates' Court for minor offences, or the Crown Court for serious (indictable) offences.
Punishments
The punishments that can be imposed on a convicted service person are:
imprisonment (in a civilian prison). Offenders are automatically dismissed with disgrace.
dismissal with disgrace
dismissal
detention in a military facility for two years or less (not officers). Offenders sentenced to detention are also automatically reduced in rank to an ordinary soldier, sailor or airman, and forfeit their pay for the period they are in detention.
forfeiture of seniority (officers only)
demotion by one rank (warrant officers or non-commissioned officers only)
fine of up to 28 days' pay
service community order (only used in conjunction with dismissal, with or without disgrace)
reprimand or severe reprimand (officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers only). This will have an effect on future career prospects.
service supervision and punishment order (ordinary soldiers, sailors, airmen only). This order, which may be in place for up to 90 days, includes forfeiture of one-sixth of pay and loss of leave, and may also include additional duties, and being prevented from using some facilities (e.g. leisure facilities).
minor punishments:
loss of leave (non-commissioned officers and ordinary soldiers etc. only)
restriction of privileges (ordinary soldiers etc. only). This requires the offender to perform additional duties each day for up to 14 days.
admonition (ordinary soldiers etc. only). This is recorded on the offenders' service record.
service compensation order. Requires the payment of compensation for personal injury or damage to property. Amounts of likely compensation payable range from £50 for a graze or severe bruise, to £3,000 for a fractured limb.
Being placed on the Violent and Sex Offender Register for any period, including life.
A civilian convicted by a military court may be sentenced to one of the following punishments:
imprisonment (in a civilian prison)
fine
service community order
overseas community order
conditional or absolute discharge
service compensation order
Being placed on the Violent and Sex Offender Register for any period, indefinitely.

The 1947 Croydon Dakota accident occurred on 25 January 1947 when a Spencer Airways Douglas C-47A Skytrain (Dakota) failed to get airborne from Croydon Airport near London, and crashed into a parked and empty ČSA Douglas C-47 destroying both aircraft and killing 11 passengers and one crew member.
Accident
It was snowing and the airfield at Croydon was covered in dark snow clouds when at 11:40 the Spencer Airways Dakota attempted to depart bound for Salisbury in Rhodesia. The C-47A had just lifted from the runway at Croydon when the starboard wing dropped, then the aircraft turned to the left and the port wing dropped. The pilot was seen to apply full starboard aileron but the bank angle increased to 40 degrees with the port wing tip only a few feet from the ground. As the aircraft reached the perimeter track of the airfield, the aircraft levelled and then swung to the right. The aircraft bounced on the ground and crashed head-on into a parked CSA Douglas C-47, registrarion OK-WDB; both aircraft caught fire, and were subsequently destroyed. Eleven of the 18 passengers and one of the five crew died.
Seven of the 11 survivors were taken to Croydon General Hospital but only two had to stay for further treatment. Two mechanics who were working on the CSA aircraft escaped without injury.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation instituted "an inspection of Certificates of Airworthiness, Certificates of Safety and crew licences" at airfields under their control to ensure these documents were in order.
The aircraft did not have a C of A, nor a valid Certificate of Safety, and no member of crew held a Navigators licence nor a licence to sign a Certificate of Safety.
Investigation
A coroners inquest was opened at Croydon on 29 January 1947 into the twelve deaths. It was determined that all but three of the deaths were caused by asphyxia from the inhalation of smoke and flames. One of the male passengers died from a severe blow to the head, another from a cerebral haemorrhage. The pilot and owner of the aircraft Edward Spencer died from carbon monoxide poisoning. After an account by the aircraft's engineer the inquest was postponed until 18 February. The inquest resumed with evidence from the co-pilot and witnesses on the ground, the jury returned a verdict of misadventure.
Following the completion of the coroners court the Chief Inspector of Accidents opened an enquiry on 24 February. Evidence was taken from the surviving passengers and crew and baggage loaders. The co-pilot explained that the aircraft had just been delivered from the United States to Heathrow Airport following the purchase by Spencer. It had been ferried to Croydon the day before the accident and the long-range fuel tanks had been removed and the seats fitted. Preparing the aircraft had taken all day and night and Spencer was said to have had only two hours sleep. In the morning the starboard engine had a lack of pressure but the co-pilot and the radio operator said before the flight that it was OK. Another witness gave evidence that the wings were covered in snow and he had not seen any attempt to defrost the aircraft. A statement given by an inspector of police from Northern Rhodesia attested to the fact that Spencer did not smoke or drink and had many hours flying experience since the early 1930s. Following the statement about Spencer's lack of sleep the counsel representing the next-of-kin of Captain Spencer made a formal protest that they had not been able to question the statement. The inquiry was closed on 28 February following technical evidence and a statement from an aircraft engineer who had witnessed that the starboard engine had been in "a bad state" and was popping and spluttering before the aircraft had taken off.
Cause
The accident was determined to be the result of loss of control by the pilot while attempting to take-off in a heavily loaded aircraft in poor visibility attributed to "an error of flying
technique by a pilot who lacked Dakota experience". Other factors may have been snow and frost of the wings and fatigue of the pilot.

Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School, sometimes called Kapaun, is a private, four year, co-educational, secondary school operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wichita. It is located on the east side of Wichita, Kansas. The school colors are blue and white. The average annual enrollment is approximately 850 students.
Kapaun Mt. Carmel is a member of the Kansas State High School Activities Association and offers a variety of sports programs. Athletic teams compete in the 5A division and are known as the "Crusaders". Extracurricular activities are also offered in the form of performing arts, school publications, and clubs.
History
Chaplain Kapaun Memorial High School was named after Chaplain Emil Kapaun, a priest of the Wichita Diocese who served and died in the Korean War. It opened in 1956 another site on east Central Ave (not the same as the present site), in east Wichita, and was operated by the Jesuits as a preparatory school for young men. Jesuits served at the school in various capacities until the early 1990s. Alumni of the initial Chaplain Kapaun school recall that under the basketball court's "floating floor" was a rifle range, where students - under supervision - practiced marksmanship with school-supplied .22 cal rifles, and that supported a school rifle team.
Mount Carmel Academy was established in 1887 by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) as a girl's boarding school. The BVM sisters served the school until the early 1990s. John (Jack) Vickers (1891-1940) was an oil mogul who got his start in Butler County oil fields and former "Vickers Oil Refinery" in Potwin. In 1934, Vickers built a large mansion at 8500 E Central (named "Vickridge"). In 1961, his estate became the new site for "Mount Carmel Academy".
Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School was established in 1971 as the result of the merger of "Chaplain Kapaun Memorial High School" and "Mount Carmel Academy" at the current Vickridge location.
In 2006, Kapaun Mt. Carmel began a $2.3 million expansion to the school. A new restroom was constructed, as well as expanded art and debate rooms, new teacher lounges, and a new student commons area. The expansion was completed in August 2007.

Nørholm, also called Nørholmen, is a manor house and agricultural property on in the municipality of Grimstad in Agder county, Norway. The estate is known mostly because of one of its previous owners was Nobel Prize-winning author Knut Hamsun.
History
Nørholm was one of the more notable and historic farms of the traditional district Agder. The manor historically belonged to noble families often of Danish origin.
The property was bought by Knut Hamsun in 1918, and since then has been owned by members of the Hamsun family. The financial award associated with the Nobel Prize made it possible for Knut Hamsun to expand the property significantly, and to live a life as farmer, much like the protagonist of his novel Growth of the Soil which had earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature. The current main building is from 1830, but was expanded by Hamsun in a neoclassical style. He also built several roads on the property.
Nørholm conservation was established in 1989 through the will of Ellinor (1915-1987), the daughter of Knut Hamsun and Marie Hamsun. The Nørholm Foundation (Stiftelsen Nørholm) was created in 1995 by Victoria Hamsun, the daughter of Arild Hamsun (1914-1988) who was Knut and Marie's youngest son. The property is managed by Victoria Hamsun in cooperation with the Nørholm Foundation. The Sørvika cottage was separated from the property and owned by Knut's son, Tore. That property was sold in 2011 and is no longer owned by the family or the foundation.

On 9 November 2020, a Russian Mil Mi-24 helicopter (NATO reporting name "Hind") was shot down by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. It was shot down near Yeraskh, in Armenia, a few kilometers away from Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, as a result of fire from the ground from man-portable air-defense system. Two of the crew members died, while another was injured as a result of the attack. Azerbaijani authorities soon issued a statement of apology, saying that the shootdown happened by mistake and offered compensation.
Events
Background
The shootdown occurred during a war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is de facto controlled by the self-proclaimed and unrecognized Republic of Artsakh, which is supported by its ally, Armenia, but is de jure part of Azerbaijan. On 8 November 2020, the Azerbaijani forces seized control of Shusha, after a four-day long battle over the city.
Shootdown
The shootdown took place on 9 November 2020, near Yeraskh, in Armenia, few kilometers away from Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and some from the border to Nagorno-Karabakh, as a result of fire from the ground from MANPADS. The helicopter was accompanying the convoy of the Russian 102nd Military Base in Gyumri. Soon after, Azerbaijan took responsibility for the attack, with its Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that the shootdown happened by accident, expressing apologies to Russia and readiness to pay compensation. According to Azerbaijan, the Russian helicopter flew in the dark, at low altitude and outside the detection zone of the Azerbaijani air defense radars. Also, Azerbaijani authorities stated that the helicopter flew in close proximity to the Armenia–Azerbaijan border during a time of conflict and that the Russian helicopters were not previously seen in the area.
Aftermath
Investigation
Russia's military base in Armenia and Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan started an investigation on the incident. On 4 January 2021, military investigators announced that they are treating the incident as 'wilful murder," rather than the previous "death through negligence."
Ceasefire agreement
The incidence occurred the day when the ceasefire agreement was signed. According to Anton Troianovski and Carlotta Gall of The New York Times, this potentially gave Russia a reason to intervene in the war. However, what role, if any, the shooting down of the Mi-24 contributed to the signing of the ceasefire agreement remains unclear. Russian president Vladimir Putin delivered an ultimatum to the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev. According to Troianovski and Gall, in this ultimatum, Russia stated that if Azerbaijan did not cease its operations after seizing control of Shusha, it will intervene. The same night, an unknown missile hit an open area in Khyrdalan, near Baku, without causing any injuries, according to the Azerbaijani sources. Also, yet again on the same day, a video emerged on social media apparently showing Armenian forces launching a Russian-made Iskander missile into Azerbaijan. The former Head of the Military Control Service of the Armenian MoD Movses Hakobyan, before resigning from his post on 19 November 2020, confirmed the use of a Iskander missile on Azerbaijan by Armenia, though he did not say where the missile hit.
Reactions
Involved parties
Soon after the shootdown, Azerbaijan's Minister of Defence, Zakir Hasanov, sent a letter of condolences to Russia's Minister of Defence, Sergey Shoygu. Also, Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that they positively assessed Azerbaijan immediately taking responsibility of the incident. Russian President Vladimir Putin later awarded the servicemen on the helicopter with the Order of Courage.
International
On 9 November, CSTO, which Russia is a member of, issued a statement, expressing its concerns over the shootdown. On 18 November, the President of Armenia, Armen Sarkissian, signed a decree on awarding the Russian pilots with For Military Merit Medal. On 12 December, the Armenian government unveiled a temporary memorial plaque in Yeraskh to commemorate the Russian pilots killed in the shootdown, and a prayer service was held in the area.

Ilija (Elijah) Monte Radlovic (5 July 1914 – 26 August 2000) was a British Army officer, an author, and businessman.
Personal background
Radlovic was born in the country of Montenegro. After studying at Cambridge University in England, he embarked on a career in journalism. He eventually worked for the Reuters News Agency in London after World War II. Previous jobs included the Daily Mail, and on the staff of the Balkan Herald. After further publishing endeavors he went back to study law in Belgrade.
Military career
In a daring and internationally reported event, Radlovic helped organize a group of fellow fugitives from the Naval Base at Kotor after the German carpet bombing of the capital of Belgrade. They fled for freedom on board the British built Hrabri-class submarine named Nebojša (Fearless) during the German bombing invasion of April, 1941. After a treacherous journey, endangered by Axis bombing (at one point his family heard radio reports that the submarine was missing and believed sunk), he arrived in Alexandria, Egypt. He eventually enlisted in the British Army.
Serving with the famous "Desert Rats", commanded by General Bernard Montgomery, Radlovic participated in many battles (such as Tobruk, El Alamein and Monte Cassino) throughout North Africa and Italy. He rose to the rank of major as a sharpshooter in the King's Royal Rifle Corps. He was recognized as the first Allied officer to enter via tank into Bologna and Padua in Italy. He was highly decorated by the British government and awarded the Order of the British Empire by King George VI for his efforts behind enemy lines.
Literary activities
Radlovic spent time as a correspondent for Reuters offices in London, Rome and Belgrade. At times he was accused of being a Western Agent.
While working in the London office of Reuters he worked with the famed British journalist and TV host Derek Jameson. In his autobiography, Touched by Angels, Jameson writes that in the group of journalists in the office, "Foremost among this group was a Yugoslav war hero name Monte Radlovic, six-foot tall and good-looking with it." He said Radlovic, after the North African and Italian campaigns, "was among troops who linked up with Tito's forces on the liberation of his homeland" of Yugoslavia. Later Radlovic's positions against Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito and communism became well known at the Reuters office. After Reuters he then founded the influential publication European Affairs where he worked closely with Bertrand Russell and George Bernard Shaw.
He came to the US in 1950, where he busied himself with literary activities. Living in Washington D.C. Radlovic started a magazine, The Diplomat. He authored two books, Tito's Republic (eventually translated into seven languages), and Etiquette and Protocol. Furthermore, he worked as Director of an anti-communist organization, the British Institute for Political Research. He enjoyed a great friendship with the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, whose wife was from his home country of Montenegro.
Family
In the late 1950s, Radlovic went back to Yugoslavia to recommence legal studies at the University of Belgrade, where, in 1959, he met another student, Milena Djukic, who became his wife. Before the birth of his first son, Radlovic was again compelled to flee Yugoslavia after Communist officials threatened to jail him for his anti-communist activities.
He moved to Covina, California where he was soon joined by his wife and son. By the early 1960s, he had built a thriving real estate business, and decided to move to Claremont, California. It was there that a daughter and second son were born.
Business ventures
In the years that followed, Radlovic became involved in a number of flourishing business ventures. He founded Pomona Realty Co., which grew to encompass 16 offices, and United Business Brokers, both located in the Inland Empire of Southern California. The company offered free seminars for entrepreneurs on how to develop successful businesses. Observers estimated that United Business Brokers played in a role in the creation of more than 150 businesses in the Inland Empire. For years he was the owner of the well-known restaurant Magic Towers, located at 540 E.Foothill Boulevard (Route 66) in Pomona, California.
In his later years, even after he became seriously ill, he worked on a project to build a World Trade Center near the Ontario International Airport, which never reached fruition.
Memberships and organisations
He was active in a number of organizations, principally as a Master Mason of the Claremont Masonic Lodge, as a member of the Almalikah Shrine and Pasadena Scottish Rite in Los Angeles, and of the Claremont University Club.
Death
Radlovic died at age 86. He left behind his wife Milena, of Claremont, sons Mike Radlovic of Diamond Bar, CA, Marko Radlovic and wife, Julie, with 3 granddaughters of Sherman Oaks, CA (Samantha, Sydney, Sophia), daughter Alexandra Radlovic of Paris, France, and two children from a previous marriage, Sally and Adrienne.
Longtime friends California State Senator Jim Brulte of Rancho Cucamonga and L.A. County Supervisor Mike Antonovich led their respective elected bodies in adjourning in Monte Radlovic's memory upon the day of his death in August 2000.
A close friend, Nicholas Polos, described Radlovic as "a warm and friendly person," with "European manners," and as "an elegant gentleman and scholar." Congressman David Dreier said of him, "Monte Radlovic epitomized the American Dream. He was an immigrant who came to the United States and did extraordinarily well. I had the privilege of knowing him for 20 years, and was very, very saddened by his passing."
