Hurricane Cristobal was a moderately strong Atlantic tropical cyclone that affected multiple landmasses from Puerto Rico to Iceland in late August and early September 2014. Slow to develop and inhibited by unfavorable wind shear for most of its duration, the storm formed on August 23 near the Caicos Islands from a long-tracked tropical wave. Moving generally northward, Cristobal gradually intensified despite a ragged appearance on satellite imagery, and passed midway between Bermuda and North Carolina on August 27. The next day, while accelerating northeast, Cristobal achieved its peak strength as a Category 1 hurricane. A colder environment transitioned Cristobal into an extratropical cyclone on August 29, but it retained much of its strength as it sped across the northern Atlantic and struck Iceland on September 1.
Before its classification as a tropical cyclone, the disturbance that would become Cristobal dropped heavy rain over Puerto Rico, locally reaching . Widespread flooding and scattered landslides affected the territory, with 19 large rivers exceeding minor flood stage. The system went on to douse the island of Hispaniola with torrential rain, leading to at least four drowning deaths in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Floodwaters damaged or destroyed over 800 houses and temporarily isolated 23 communities in the Dominican Republic, while about 640 families were displaced in Haiti. Another person was killed by floodwaters in the Turks and Caicos. The hurricane generated strong surf and dangerous rip currents along the U.S. East Coast, killing two swimmers in Maryland and New Jersey and leading to many lifeguard rescues. Later, the extratropical remnants of Cristobal buffeted Iceland with heavy rain and gusty winds, causing flooding around the capital city of Reykjavík.
Meteorological history
Hurricane Cristobal originated from a westward-tracking tropical wave which emerged from the western coast of Africa on August 14, accompanied for several days by an expanse of clouds. Some cyclonic turning was evident as the disturbance approached the Leeward Islands by August 21, but a Hurricane Hunters flight tasked with investigating the system did not reveal a strong circulation at the surface. The system failed to consolidate as it traversed Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, but on August 23, further reconnaissance data confirmed the formation of a tropical depression just south of the Caicos Islands. The nascent cyclone slowly moved north-northwestward toward a weakness in the subtropical ridge. Moderate wind shear in the area kept convection over the depression disorganized and outflow limited, and the storm only gradually intensified. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Cristobal at 06:00 UTC on August 24, while located just north of Mayaguana in the Bahamas, but its structure was vertically tilted and suboptimally broad.
Weak steering currents kept Cristobal's forward motion slow and erratic, and the storm remained heavily affected by shear, with most deep convection displaced from the center. On August 25, the system turned toward the north-northeast in response to a mid-level trough to the north. Despite a ragged cloud pattern characterized by an exposed low-level center and a distinct lack of banding features, Cristobal intensified into a Category 1 hurricane at 00:00 UTC on August 26, as indicated by aircraft observations. The newly upgraded hurricane headed along a general northward path, and for the next couple days, pockets of dry air kept prevented further intensification. Convection fluctuated in intensity and coverage, and early on August 27 the National Hurricane Center remarked that "the satellite presentation resembles a subtropical cyclone". However, later that same day, the hurricane showed signs of increased development while located midway between Bermuda and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. In particular, its cloud pattern became much more symmetric, and some cloud tops cooled to –70 °C (–95 °F). Around the same time, Cristobal accelerated toward the northeast as it became embedded within the mid-latitude westerlies ahead of an advancing shortwave trough.
An area of relatively warm cloud tops at the center of a central dense overcast gave way to an eye feature evident on visible satellite imagery on August 28. Rapidly gaining latitude, Cristobal reached its peak intensity at 18:00 UTC, with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h), roughly due south of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Shortly thereafter, the hurricane began to degrade as it moved over significantly colder waters and began to encounter further dry air, signalling the beginning of its transition to an extratropical cyclone. Cristobal's circulation soon began to interact with a frontal boundary, and deep convection became distanced well to the north of the center. Consequently, the hurricane lost its tropical identity by 12:00 UTC on August 29, just north of 44°N. Baroclinic processes preserved much of the extratropical cyclone's intensity, allowing it to maintain hurricane-force winds until August 30. Speeding generally northeastward, the storm slowly weakened over the northern Atlantic, making landfall on Iceland on September 1. Cristobal merged with another storm system north of the country by the next day.
Impact
Antilles
As Cristobal's parent wave moved over Puerto Rico, it engaged with an abnormally moist air mass to produce torrential rain totaling more than . The highest rainfall totals were enhanced by orographic lift over mountainous terrain. A rain gauge near Tibes recorded a peak total of , the majority of which fell on August 24. Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport near San Juan reported of precipitation. In total, 19 rivers reached minor flood stage and five reached moderate flood stage; some of them inundated adjacent roadways and urban areas. The heavy rainfall triggered multiple landslides, at least one of which forced a family to evacuate. The floods cut electricity to nearly 17,000 customers and left 7,000 without clean drinking water after putting some 18 filtration plants out of service. In some cases, however, the rain proved beneficial, refilling reservoirs after an abnormally dry summer. Only the northwestern corner of Puerto Rico escaped hydrological issues. Gusty winds caused minor damage to trees and tree branches in the territory. Moderate to heavy rainfall also affected the U.S. Virgin Islands, amounting to on Saint Thomas and on Saint Croix.
The island of Hispaniola also received damaging rainfall from the slow-moving storm. La Romana, Dominican Republic, recorded of rain in 24 hours on August 23 and 24, the result being destructive flooding. The floods isolated 23 towns from the outside world and damaged or destroyed more than 800 dwellings, especially in eastern and northeastern parts of the nation. Just over 4,100 individuals were forced to evacuate their homes. In Santo Domingo Province, three people required rescue from their car after trying to cross the swollen Isabela River. Two people were killed in the Dominican Republic, one of them after attempting to drive across a flooded river in the Hato Mayor Province. In neighboring Haiti, flooding totally destroyed four homes and heavily damaged 28 others, with a total of about 640 families left temporarily homeless. At least two people in the country were swept away by rushing waters, and many others sustained injuries.
Shortly after the storm's genesis, tropical storm warnings were issued for the central and southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The advisories were discontinued by August 25. Heavy rain fell over the region, reaching on the island of Providenciales, where one person drowned in the ensuing floods. Floodwaters on North Caicos ran deep, blocking access to some communities. Governor Peter Beckingham reported "extensive damage to peoples' property and possessions" throughout the overseas territory.
Elsewhere
A tropical storm watch was issued for Bermuda on August 25, and ultimately discontinued about three days later. Two cruise ships left Bermuda early to avoid the storm, and another two postponed their scheduled stops there. The threat of the storm, combined with a lack of passengers due to cruise ship diversions, resulted in the suspension of ferry service. Cristobal ultimately passed well to the northwest of the island, producing breezy conditions and heightened surf.
The offshore hurricane lashed the East Coast of the United States with high swells and rip currents, prompting widespread swimming restrictions and bans. A teenaged male Virginia resident died in a drowning incident at Ocean City, Maryland, less than an hour after lifeguards went off-duty. In a 24-hour period, the Ocean City Beach Patrol rescued about 120 people caught in rip currents. Just off the coast, the rough seas capsized a boat, forcing the Coast Guard to rescue its three occupants. Another young male drowned at Sandy Hook, New Jersey; a wave reportedly knocked him down in shallow water before a rip current pulled the inexperienced swimmer farther out. Dangerous swimming conditions extended north to New England beaches, leading to numerous lifeguard rescues.
In southern Iceland, the extratropical remnants of Cristobal produced gusty winds and heavy rainfall, leading to extensive flooding in the capital city of Reykjavík. The fire department there responded to 37 calls for flooded buildings. Reykjavík Airport and Keflavík International Airport recorded wind gusts to and , respectively. The adverse conditions impeded aerial surveillance of the ongoing volcanic eruptions at Bárðarbunga.

Lemuel Chipman (July 25, 1754 – April 28, 1831) was an American politician, judge, and physician. Chipman held political office in both the Republic of Vermont, the subsequent state of Vermont, and the state of New York. He served as a judge in both the states of Vermont and New York.
Personal life
Chipman was born in Salisbury, Connecticut on July 25, 1754 . When he was nineteen, he and his family moved to Tinmouth, Vermont. He was the brother of noted Vermont politicians Nathaniel Chipman and Daniel Chipman. In adulthood, Chipman resided first in Pawlet, Vermont (within Rutland County) and later moved in 1795 to Ontario County, New York.
Chipman was an Episcopalian.
Medical career and Revolutionary War service
Chipman became a physician and surgeon.
Chipman served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He acted as assistant surgeon to Doctor Dickinson at the Battle of Bennington in 1777.
Government and political career
Vermont
Beginning on October 14, 1790, Chipman began serving the first of multiple consecutive terms a member of the Vermont General Assembly, representing Pawlet. During his early tenure in the legislature, Chipman was a member of the State Convention of Vermont where the opted to support admittance as a state of the United States. During the 1793–1794 assembly, Chipman was chosen to serve as the body's clerk pro tempore.
In late 1793, Chipman was appointed an associate judge of Rutland County. Chipman served as a judge of Rutland County for eight years. On October 11, 1792, a petition sent by Matthew Lyon was received by Council of Censors calling for Judge Chipman to be impeached for maladministration. However, on October 13, 1792, the Council dismissed this petition, judging it to be a matter more appropriate for the General Assembly, finding it to be, "expedient that complaints of individual officers for offenses against the Constitution should be made in the first instance to the Gen'l Assembly."
Chipman served as a presidential elector from Vermont in 1792. He voted for George Washington and John Adams. He had been appointed to be an elector by the General Assembly. He subsequently sought unsuccessfully to again be an elector from Vermont.

Jan Jansz. Vos (baptised 4 March 1612 in Amsterdam – buried 12 July 1667 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch playwright and poet. A glassmaker by trade (in that position he provided all windows for the new city hall on the Dam), he also played an important role as stage-manager and director of the theatre. He organized, on the mayors' orders, processions and splendid decorated floats, which sometimes drew disapproval, criticism, and derision.
Life
On 20 February 1639, at the old City Hall of Amsterdam, he married Grietje Gerrets (1616 - 1651), already pregnant by him. They had two children: Jan (who only lived a few days) and Maria (who in 1664 laid the first stone for the new theatre). Jan Vos was of good family and lived in the Kalverstraat at no. 202. He prided himself on knowing no other languages than Dutch. With his Aran and Titus of 1641 his name, previously all but unknown, was made. Casper van Baerle admired the work, despite, or because, it featured a prince served as a pudding, a baked Moor and some apparitions. (The subject is the same as in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus).
In his Klucht van Oene ("The Farce of Oene", 1642), a number of dishonest practices by Amsterdam merchants and industrialists are criticized - bakers of bread short-selling their customers, tailors filching pieces of cloth owned by their patrons, glassmakers cheating with glass quantities, dyers of silk tampering with their material. In addition, house-agents, pawnbrokers, cashiers, notaries public and secretaries, landlords, millers, doctors, barbers, pharmacists and booksellers enter the stage.
Jan Vos was a sought-after table companion of such leading families as those of De Graeff, Bicker, Joan Huydecoper van Maarsseveen and Jan Six. He wrote occasional poems for them , and this has led to his often being characterized as "a family poet". One of his huge patrons was burgomaster Andries de Graeff. In 1651 he was among the compilers of the Verscheyde Nederduytse gedichten ("Sundry Poems in Dutch") collection of poems, an attempt to bring together painters and poets of different schools and religions. In 1657, he was an honoured guest at the marriage of Jan J. Hinlopen and Leonora Huydecoper.
Jan Vos was head of the Theatre of Van Campen for nineteen years, together with and . Vos was part of the Muiderkring, a group of literary people meeting at a castle where the a member of the Bicker family had been appointed "drost" (keeper of the castle). He directed plays by Vondel.
Jan Vos had a good eye for the public taste, and was repeatedly entrusted by the city authorities with designing and overseeing pageants and spectacles. In 1654, Vos organized ten performances celebrating the Treaty of Westminster. In 1659, Amalia van Solms, the Regent's wife, and her daughter visited Amsterdam, seeing twenty performances especially designed for the occasions. Nicolas Tulp, however, vehemently opposed the appearance of pagan gods and goddesses during the visitors' festive arrival. At the visit of Maria Henrietta Stuart, the widow of William II, it turned out that one of the floats represented the beheading of Charles I of England, Mary's late father. Jan Vos, who led the processions on horseback, became a target for criticism.

The Columbia Glacier is a glacier in Prince William Sound on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska, is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world, and has been retreating since the early 1980s. It was named after Columbia University, one of several glaciers in the area named for elite U.S. colleges by the Harriman Alaska Expedition in 1899. The head of the main branch of the glacier originates at the saddle between Mount Witherspoon and Mount Einstein.
The Alaska Marine Highway vessel M/V Columbia is named after the Columbia Glacier.
Size
The glacier twists its way through western Alaska's Chugach Mountains. The bald streak at the bottom of the mountains, called the trimline, shows this glacier has lost of thickness. It has also retreated since that measurement was taken.
Retreat
The glacier's speed of retreat at the terminus reached a maximum of nearly per day in 2001, when it was discharging icebergs at approximately r per year; the glacier has subsequently slowed down, resulting in an increase in retreat rate. The terminus has retreated a total of at an average rate of approximately per year since 1982. The retreat has been accompanied by nearly of thinning at the present position of the terminus. In the next few decades it is expected to retreat another , to a point where the bed of the glacier rises above sea level. Columbia Glacier's retreat should be completed around 2020. Tidewater glacier advance and retreat is not directly forced by climate (adjacent tidewater glaciers may be simultaneously advancing and retreating), but rapid retreat appears to be triggered by climate-forced long-term thinning.

State Route 394 (SR 394) is a west–east state highway in Sullivan County, Tennessee. It serves as southern bypass of Bristol and as a connector route from Interstate 81 (I-81) to Bristol Motor Speedway. The western terminus is at an intersection with U.S. Route 11W (US 11W) northwest of Blountville and the eastern terminus is at a junction with US 421 southeast of Bristol. The route heads southeast and crosses I-81 before passing through Blountville. From here, SR 394 continues southeast to an interchange with US 11E/US 19 near Bristol Motor Speedway, where it turns northeast and continues to US 421.
Route description
SR 394 begins at an intersection with US 11W (SR 1) in unincorporated northern Sullivan County, heading southeast as a two-lane undivided road that is a secondary state route. The road winds through hilly areas of fields and woods with a few homes. Farther southeast, the route enters Blountville, where it widens to a four-lane divided highway and comes to an interchange with I-81. At this interchange, SR 394 becomes a primary state route. After I-81, the road passes a few businesses and becomes a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane, running through farm fields and woodland. The route curves south and comes to a junction with SR 126 in an commercial area to the west of downtown Blountville. Past here, SR 394 leaves Blountville and winds south through wooded mountains, turning to the east. The road runs through a retail area before it passes more woods and fields with some nearby development. The route heads past a mix of residential development and farmland before it passes southwest of the former Exide Technologies and turns to the southeast. SR 394 runs through an area of woods before it passes through fields. Farther along, the route passes through residential areas with some businesses. The road curves east and comes to an interchange with US 11E/US 19 (SR 34) to the south of Bristol.
At this interchange, SR 394 becomes concurrent with SR 390 for a short distance before that route splits and turns south toward Bluff City. From here, the route becomes a four-lane divided highway and heads northeast, passing to the south of Bristol Motor Speedway and Bristol Dragway and running between campgrounds and parking areas belonging to the race track. The road heads into hilly areas and runs between wooded areas to the north and farm fields to the south. SR 394 runs through more woodland and curves east, with an access road connecting to Vance Tank Road. The route passes over Vance Tank Road and Norfolk Southern's Knoxville East District railroad line and heads east through fields before curving northeast and running through woodland with some fields. The road comes to an interchange with SR 358 and turns north through forested areas. SR 394 curves east and comes to its terminus at an intersection with US 421 (SR 34) southeast of Bristol, where the road continues east as SR 435 northbound, a secondary state route.

Sackville George Lane-Fox, 12th Baron Conyers and de jure 15th Baron Darcy de Knayth (14 September 1827 – 24 August 1888) was a British peer and soldier.
Early life
Lane-Fox was the eldest son of Lady Charlotte Osborne (d. 1836) and Sackville Lane-Fox (1797–1874), a British Conservative Party politician. His younger brother, Charles Pierrepont Darcy Lane-Fox, was wounded at the Battle of Alma while an officer in the Crimean War.
His father was the third son of James Fox-Lane of Bramham Park and Hon. Marcia Lucy Pitt (third daughter George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers). His grandfather was a Member of Parliament for Horsham and through his uncle William Lane-Fox and his wife, Lady Caroline Douglas (sister of George Douglas, 17th Earl of Morton), he was a first cousin of Augustus Pitt Rivers. His mother was the only childhood-surviving daughter of the George Osborne, 6th Duke of Leeds and Lady Charlotte Townshend (eldest daughter of George Townshend, 1st Marquess Townshend). His maternal uncle was Francis D'Arcy-Osborne, 7th Duke of Leeds.
Career
On 7 August 1846, he became a cornet by purchase in the Royal Horse Guards and exchanged to the 13th Light Dragoons on 28 December 1849. He retired from the regiment in April 1850.
He returned to the Army after the outbreak of the Crimean War. On 29 December 1854, he was commissioned an ensign in the 21st Regiment of Foot. Lane-Fox served with the regiment at the Siege of Sevastopol, for which he later received the medal and clasp. He exchanged as a lieutenant into the 87th Regiment of Foot on 22 July 1856 and retired from the regiment around June 1859.
He was appointed a cornet in the Yorkshire Hussars on 24 May 1861, but retired from the regiment in September and became a lieutenant in the Royal East Kent Yeomanry on 19 May 1863.
Titles and estates
In 1859, Lane-Fox had inherited the Portuguese countship of Mértola and the baronies of Darcy de Knayth and Conyers from his maternal uncle (who died childless) the 7th Duke of Leeds. The Dukedom was inherited by the 7th Duke's cousin, George Osborne (son of Lord Francis Osborne, his grandfather's younger brother).
Personal life
On 14 August 1860, Lord Conyers married Mary Curteis, daughter of Capt. Reginald Curteis and the former Frances Mary Reynolds (eldest daughter of Lawrence Reynolds of Paxton Hall). Together, they had three children:
The Hon. Sackville FitzRoy Henry (1861–1879), who died unmarried.
The Hon. Marcia Amelia Mary (1863–1926), who married Charles Pelham, 4th Earl of Yarborough.
The Hon. Violet Ida Evelyn (1865–1929), who married George Herbert, 4th Earl of Powis.
On Lord Conyers' death in 1888 his English baronies became abeyant between his two daughters; the barony of Conyers became granted to Marcia in 1892, and that of Darcy de Knayth became granted to his other daughter, Violet in 1903. His Portuguese countship passed to Marcia with immediate effect. His widow, Lady Conyers, died on 12 November 1921.

The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), abbreviated as ASA(M&RA), is a civilian official in the United States Department of the Army.
U.S. law provides that there shall be five Assistant Secretaries of the Army "appointed from civilian life by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." "One of the Assistant Secretaries shall be the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. He shall have as his principal duty the overall supervision of manpower and reserve component affairs of the Department of the Army. Pursuant to United States Army General Order No. 3, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) supervises Army strategy, policy, programs, and compliance related to functions such as recruiting, readiness and mobilization, civilian and military manpower, medical and health affairs, family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the review of soldier records, force structure policy, manpower analysis, the Army-wide Equal Employment Opportunity Program and critical matters pertaining to Reserve Affairs.
The office can be traced to 1950, when United States Secretary of the Army Gordon Gray decided to centralize manpower issues for civil, military, and reserve personnel under one individual, with the position being elevated to Assistant Secretary when manpower issues proved to be a problem during the course of the Korean War. The office was then abolished in 1961, with its duties transferred to the Office of the Under Secretary of the Army, but then re-established - this time by statute - in 1968.

The Yamacraw were a Native American tribe that emerged in the early 18th century, occupying parts of what became Georgia, specifically along the bluffs near the mouth of the Savannah River where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. They were made up of Lower Creek and Yamasee, and remained independent for about 20 years before integrating again with the main part of the Lower Creek people. This area was later developed as the city of Savannah.
History
The Yamacraw tribe was formed in the late 1720s by leader Tomochichi from some bands of Yamasee and Lower Creek people who had disagreed with the severing of friendship with the British during the Yamasee War of 1715. By 1728 the Yamacraw had settled along the Savannah River near its mouth. This was later developed as the present-day city of Savannah. In 1733 James Oglethorpe, interested in founding a colony at the site because of its strategic location on the water, negotiated with Tomochichi and the Yamacraw agreed to move their village upriver.
A mid-19th century history of Tomochichi noted dissension over the status of this name and people. Charles Colcock Jones wrote that the Creek did not acknowledge any people known as the Yamacraw. Also he said that neither the Maskoki (Muskogee) nor Yuchi dialects of the region used the "r" in such a way as in that name.

The Beyyurdu Dam is a gravity dam on the Bembo River (an eventual tributary of the Great Zab) in Beyyurdu, Şemdinli district of Hakkâri Province, southeast Turkey.
Construction
Under contract from Turkey's State Hydraulic Works, Özdoğan Group began construction on the dam in 2008. The construction was concluded in 2015. In July 2012 and May 2014 suspected Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants set fire to equipment at the construction sites of the Beyyurdu Dam and also the Aslandağ Dam which is located upstream.
Function
The reported purpose of the dam is water storage and it can also support a hydroelectric power station in the future. Another purpose of the dam which has been widely reported in the Turkish press is to reduce the freedom of movement of PKK militants. Blocking and flooding valleys in close proximity to the Iraq–Turkey border is expected to help curb cross-border PKK smuggling and deny caves in which ammunition can be stored. A total of 11 dams along the border; seven in Şırnak Province and four in Hakkâri Province were implemented for this purpose. In Hakkâri are the Gölgeliyamaç (since cancelled) and Çocuktepe Dams on the Güzeldere River and the Aslandağ and Beyyurdu Dams on the Bembo River. In Şırnak there is the Silopi Dam on the Hezil River and the Şırnak, Uludere, Balli, Kavşaktepe, Musatepe and Çetintepe Dams on the Ortasu River.

Mulga Downs Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station but is currently operating as a cattle station in Western Australia.
It is located north east of Tom Price and south west of Marble Bar in the Pilbara region.
The property currently occupies an area of , including parts of the Fortescue River floodplain and the Chichester Range; the homestead is situated near the northern boundary of the property about north of the ghost town of Wittenoom. Almost the entire area is covered by granted mining tenements or applications that are pending. The Cloud Break mine, operated by Fortescue Metals Group, is situated within the boundaries of the station.
The Lockyer brothers owned the property in 1891, and transferred 3,000 sheep, 300 cattle and 300 horses from another of their properties, Cooya Pooya, to Mulga Downs for fattening the same year.
Following the death of George Lockyer in 1893, the property was advertised in 1894. At this time it consisted of and was carrying a flock of 3,200 sheep, 300 cattle and 230 horses. Improvements listed included having 30 wells, of fencing, and three secure sheep paddocks with numerous huts and sheds. The country was described as "first class mulga saltbush, cotton and blue bush, heavily grassed with weeping, silver plain, flinders and other grasses".
In 1894 Burges and Sons sold Mulga Downs to the Union Bank of Australia for £6,000. It was then put up for auction in 1898, advertised as embracing nearly with double frontage to the Fortescue River. At the time only were stocked with 18,000 sheep and 300 horses.
Frank Wittenoom acquired Mulga Downs in the early 1900s. Wittenoom was in partnership with S.L. Burges and they suffered many problems with dingos through 1908, to the point where it was thought the station had been abandoned. They switched from sheep to cattle in 1909 then switched back again in 1910, stocking the property with 2,700 sheep in 1911 and adding more fencing and wells. The property was in decline from 1902 to 1915 when Wittenoom employed George Hancock as the manager. Hancock turned the fortunes of Mulga Downs around and Wittenoom rewarded him with a 25% stake in the property. Hancock promptly sold his share of Ashburton Downs Station, which he had inherited from his father, and focused his energy into improving Mulga Downs further. Lang Hancock, George's son, took over management of the property in 1935 at the age of 26 following the retirement of his father. He later discovered and started mining asbestos at Wittenoom Gorge and then discovered the iron ore deposits in the Hamersley Range.
The station was isolated by floodwaters in 1947 when the station manager's son became ill. Lang Hancock rescued the boy in his plane, a Moth Minor, after the Royal Flying Doctor Service plane was thought to be too heavy to land safely.
The property was still carrying sheep and producing wool in 1954, but later switched to cattle.
In 1967 Mulga Downs encompassed an area of and was still owned by Lang Hancock and his sister.
In 2006 large bushfires burnt across the Pilbara for over a week with over of bushland and rangeland in and around the station being consumed.
Approximately 6,500 head of branded cattle and 1,200 feral cattle were grazing the property in 2009, which had an annual turn-off of 3,500 head.
In 2013 Hancock Prospecting lodged documents with the Department of Environment seeking approval to construct a iron ore operation from a long pit located about from the homestead.

Spurius Nautius Rutilus ( 493488 BC) was a Roman Republican aristocrat of the Patrician gens Nautia, who lived during the early 5th century BC. He served as Consul of Rome in 488 BC, with Sextus Furius as his colleague.
Family
Spurius was the probably the elder brother of Gaius Nautius Rutilus, consul in 475 and in 458 BC, but the younger Nautius may have been his son.
Biography
Dionysius of Halicarnassus first mentions Spurius Nautius in 493 BC as having been one of the most distinguished young Patricians during the period of the first secession of the plebs. He was consul in 488 BC which was also the same year that the Volsci, under the command of Coriolanus, marched on Rome and besieged the city.

The Worst Ones () is a 2022 French drama film directed by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret.
Premise
The film tells behind the scenes of a shoot in the North of France. A film director chooses to shoot in the Picasso city, in Boulogne-sur-Mer. He sends out a casting, looking for atypical personalities: young school dropouts, ADHD sufferers, foster children, young people leaving home... He chooses two girls and two boys, Lily, Maylis, Jessy and Ryan. Everyone is surprised by this choice: why did he only take “the worst”? Local associations are worried about the impossible hopes represented by the easy life of a film crew, the filmmaker is worried about reinforcing the stereotypes he wanted to denounce.
The film portrays its heroes. Raised by his sister, Ryan suffers from attention disorders and hyperactivity and cannot stand the school environment despite the help of his life assistant. Lily goes from one guy to another, and we discover that she is weakened by the death of her brother, who died of cancer. Maylis, very little expansive, wonders about her participation in the shooting. Jessy, finally, plays the provocateur but he hides flaws too.
Cast
Production

Newhailes House is a Palladian style country house which stands in 80 acres of parkland on the edge of the small town of Musselburgh in East Lothian, Scotland. Originally named Whitehills, it is a Category A listed building which is now occupied and maintained by the National Trust for Scotland.
The current building comprises the original 7-bay frontage flanked by later extensions.
The stable block is also a Category A building.
Newhailes, Dalrymple's and the Scottish Enlightenment
Old Hailes House was originally built c.1686 on the Whitehill estate by Scottish architect James Smith for his own use. While studying to become a priest in Rome as a young man, Smith had been greatly inspired by the work of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. Instead of becoming a priest, Smith became an architect. Despite being Scotland's ‘most experienced architect’ of the time, financial difficulties, an unsuccessful coal-mining venture forced Smith to sell the house just a decade or so later to the Bellendens of Broughton.
Sir David Dalrymple, 1st Baronet, of Hailes (1665–1721)
In 1701 the estate was sold to John Bellenden, 2nd Lord Bellenden, a Scottish nobleman, it became Broughton House. Some years later in financial difficulties he sold it to Sir David Dalrymple, 1st Baronet and his wife, Janet Rochead in May 1709. He renamed the house Newhailes in recognition of Hailes Castle on their family estate at East Linton and added the east wing as a library. This anticipated the beginnings of the Enlightenment culture, based on close readings of new books, and intense discussions took place daily at such intellectual gathering places in Edinburgh and accumulate into The Select Society in the 1750s. Sir David was a Scottish advocate and politician who sat in the Parliament of Scotland from 1698 to 1707 and in the British House of Commons from 1707 to 1721. He served as Lord Advocate, and eventually Auditor of the Exchequer in Scotland in 1720. They were to become a wealthy Edinburgh legal dynasty; it would also become the golden age of artistic and intellectual development in Scotland.
Note: His older brother, John Dalrymple, 1st Earl of Stair, became one of the darkest figures in Scottish history when he organised and authorised the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe.
Sir James Dalrymple, 2nd Baronet (1692–1751)
On his death in 1721 the house passed to his heir Sir James Dalrymple, 2nd Baronet, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Haddington Burghs and the Principal Auditor of the Exchequer in Scotland. Sir James extended and reshaped the house, adding a balancing west apartment wing, and moving the entrance from the north-east to the south-west. The gardens were probably laid out at the same time. In the pediment over the front door are the heads of a male and a female in profile with the inscription laudo manentum that is a quote from Horace referring to 'fickle fortune'. Over the north door of the house is inscribed another Horace quote sapienter uti which relates to the happy man who wisely uses whatever he has been given to work with. It is considered by many that the carved heads were inspired by the famous and controversial Edinburgh 'Netherbow Heads' that were at the time considered to be of Roman origin representing the Emperor Septimius Severus and his consort Julia Domna.
Sir David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes, 3rd Baronet of Hailes (1726–1792)
The house passed to Sir David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes, 3rd Baronet of Hailes (28 October 1726 – 29 November 1792) a Scottish advocate, judge and historian, born in Edinburgh. Lord Hailes continued the Scottish tradition of completing his legal education in The Netherlands, studying in Utrecht before being admitted to the Faculty of Advocates in 1748, where he demonstrated an interest in books by becoming a curator in 1752. 'He moved normally in the highest ranks of Edinburgh Society' and appears to us as a textbook character of the Scottish Enlightenment. He attended the theatre and dancing assemblies, the profits of which went to charitable causes, and between 1750 and 1774 took a prominent part in many of Edinburgh's most famous cultural activities. Hailes was highly active in the club life of Edinburgh, being a member of, amongst others, the Select Society. The Society, founded in 1754 by Allan Ramsay, had a membership composed of socially prominent members of the city's elite that reads like a who's who of Edinburgh's Enlightenment. Although set up as a debating club, the importance of maintaining polite society was recognised by the rule that anything could be discussed 'except such as regard Revealed Religion, or which may give occasion to vent any principles of Jacobitism'. Hailes's nature and interest in his fellow man is shown by his involvement in an offshoot of the Select Society, known as the Edinburgh Society, one of the best examples of the improving spirit of the age.
Following their return from the Highlands, Samuel Johnson and James Boswell met Lord Hailes at dinner in Edinburgh on 17 August 1773. It would be later declared by Dr Johnson, "the most learned drawing-room in Europe". Boswell records that Lord Hailes 'pleased him [i.e. Johnson] highly'. We know Johnson respected Hailes's intellectual prowess as manuscripts of his Annals of Scotland were submitted, via Boswell, to Johnson for his literary opinion. Johnson claimed T never before read Scotch history with certainty' and wrote to Boswell calling them 'a new mode of history which tells all that is wanted ... without laboured splendour of language, or affected subtilty [sic] of conjectur.
Sir David inherited the house in 1751. He had it remodelled and the stable block added in 1790 by James Craig. But the most important room at Newhailes is the library. From the 1750s as head of the family, Sir David Dalrymple, the judge Lord Hailes was a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, along with Adam Smith and David Hume who borrowed extensively from the library. At the mahogany desk which stands in the shuttered gloom of the two-storey library he wrote the 'Annals of Scottish History', known as the first "modern" history of Scotland. After his death the house passed to Christian Dalrymple.
Miss Christian Dalrymple of New Hailes (1765–1839)
In 1792, Miss Christian Dalrymple of New Hailes (30 December 1765 – 9 January 1839) daughter of Anne Brown and David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes; inherited the Newhailes estate in East Lothian, Scotland, unexpectedly. She never married and lived there for 46 years. She lavished attention on the surrounding estate and developed the designed landscape including the flower garden. She also used the library as a ballroom, an able manager and socialite hosting glittering dances and soirées long into the night. She kept a diary discussing and reflecting on the minutiae of her day. It is forms part of Newhailes collection. She died at the age of seventy-two, leaving the estate to her nephew, Charles Fergusson, to whom she was a sort of surrogate mother, as his mother died when he was young.
Sir Charles Dalrymple Fergusson, 5th Baronet (1800–1849)
Sir Charles Dalrymple Fergusson, 5th Baronet of Kilkerran FRSE (1800–1849) was a Scottish lawyer.He was educated at Harrow, and became an advocate in 1822, practising at the Scottish bar until his father's death. He was a member of the Speculative Society, and at its meetings read two essays, one on the 'Origin and Progress of Criminal Jurisprudence', and the other on the 'History of Painting'. In 1829 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In 1837, Fergusson succeeded to the estates of his grandfather, Lord Hailes, in East and Mid Lothian, and in 1838 to those of his father in Ayrshire, on which he constantly lived. He inherited Newhailes, and the Lordship and Barony of Hailes in 1839, on the death of his aunt, Miss Christian Dalrymple (when he also assumed the additional surname of Dalrymple). Fergusson married Helen, daughter of the David Boyle, lord-justice-general of Scotland, by whom he had nine children. He died at Inveresk 18 March 1849.
The last Dalrymples - 19th - 21st century
Sir Charles Dalrymple, 1st Baronet (1839–1916)
Born Charles Fergusson, he was the second surviving son of Sir Charles Dalrymple Fergusson, 5th Baronet, and grandson of Sir James Fergusson, 4th Baronet, and his wife Jean, daughter of David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes. Sir James Fergusson, 6th Baronet, was his elder brother. On the death of his father in 1849 he assumed the surname of Dalrymple in lieu of Fergusson. He was educated at Harrow schooll and Trinity College, Cambridge, became a Scottish Conservative politician. He was created a baronet, of New Hailes in the County of Midlothian, in 1887, and sworn of the Privy Council, in 1905. He was married to Alice Mary Hunter Blair (1852-1889) daughter of Sir Edward, 4th Hunter-Blair baronet. They divided their time between London and Newhailes. The house was substantially modernised in 1907.
In the late 1890s Newhailes entertained politicians such as the Speaker of the House of Commons Arthur Peel, 1st Viscount Peel. Frequently Joseph Chamberlain best known as the leading imperialist of the day in Britain, as a Liberal Unionist before he joined the Colonial Office, and John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, a landed aristocrat, industrial magnate and philanthropist. He was related to the Royal House of Stuart and the Coutts banking family. His visit coincided with his involvement with a notable company law case, relating to the insolvency of the Cardiff Savings Bank (1892) concerning a duty of care to which he was acquitted.
The Times would typically report the arrivals and departures of prominent people, as they did on 25 October 1901: “Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain arrived in Edinburgh yesterday evening, the right hon. gentleman having engaged to address a meeting there today. The Colonial Secretary was received by Sir Charles Dalrymple, M.P., whose guest he will be at Newhailes, Musselburgh, during his visit, and after being introduced to several prominent members of the local Unionist party he drove away with his host amid cheers.”
Much later in 1926 and again in 1935 the house hosted Princess Helena Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, Queen Victoria's granddaughter on her way to Balmoral. She was guest of Archibald Kennedy, 4th Marquess of Ailsa styled Earl Cassilis until 1938, and David Dalrymple's sister in law, Frances Countess Cassillis (née McTaggart-Stewart) who were renting the house at the time.
Their first daughter, Christian Elizabeth Louise, was born in 1875, their son David Charles Herbert Dalrymple born in London 1879, and their youngest daughter Alice Mary born in 1884. Five years later, Alice Mary, Charles's wife, died. In bereavement, feeling unable to offer a family environment, he sent his children away to relatives. Alice (5yrs) was sent to her Aunt Eleanor, wife of the Rector of Hartlebury in Worcestershire. David (10 yrs) and his older sister Christian (14 yrs) were sent to his mother's sister Aunt Dorothea, who had married a career naval captain David Boyle, who had fought at the Crimea -later becoming David Boyle, 7th Earl of Glasgow at Shewalton House in Ayrshire.
Around 1901, the two daughters were reunited with their father, taking up residence at his London house in Onslow Gardens. Where he died in June 1916. Christian married a Royal Naval officer Commander John Saumarez Dumaresq, in 1907. The wedding was held at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Musselburgh. She had five children and died in 1932.
Alice never married, she became the sole beneficiary of her brother David's will, and lived quietly at Halkerston Lodge in Inveresk Village where she died in 1959.
Sir Charles Will was carefully drawn up under Scottish law by the old established firm of Messrs. Hope, Todd & Kirk W S from their offices in Charlotte Square Edinburgh. The Will was published testate later that year on December 19, 1916. It began, “I, the Right Honourable Sir Charles Dalrymple of Newhailes Baronet, Privy Councillor, being desirous of settling the succession to my means and estate after my death, and of securing as far as I can that my said lands and estate of Newhailes shall not be sold, it being my desire that they be retained in the family,...” Clearly aware of his only son's character, his will was specific in its terms. The estate was to be held in trust by four trustees Sir Charles Fergusson, 7th Baronet (his nephew), Forbes Hunter Blair (brother-in-law), Honourable George John Gordon Bruce Lord Balfour of Burleigh, seventh Lord Balfour of Burleigh, a cousin, and his son David. On his father's death Sir David became a relatively wealthy man. Sir Charles had left around £90,000 (£5 million today) in cash and stocks plus Newhailes House, its estate together with his house in London.
Sir David Charles Herbert Dalrymple, 2nd Baronet (1879–1932)
Influenced by David Boyles extensive career in the Royal Navy, David enrolled in the Britannia Royal Naval College as a thirteen-year-old Midshipman. It was during his career in the navy he met Margaret Anna Mctaggart-Stewart at a London party, whilst on leave serving as Lieutenant with HMS Falcon (1899), they married in St George's Hanover Square Church on 3 April 1906. His career in the Royal Navy was chequered with various disciplinary actions concerning conduct. He was eventually dismissed the service in 1911. They had a daughter Dorothea Mary in March 1912, who tragically died in November 1914. They had a son Charles Mark Dalrymple in May 1915. David and Margaret divorced in 1919, after his widely publicised affair at the Royal Albion Hotel in Brighton with actress Mrs Dorothy Lewis, 20 years his junior. After the divorce, Margaret Dalrymple decided to leave Newhailes and live with her sister Susanna in Maybole Ayrshire.
There followed an advertisement appeared in The Times on 12 November 1919.
“Situation - the Mansion-House of Newhailes is situated about 5 miles from the Post Office, Edinburgh; 16 minutes by rail from Waverley Station or 45 minutes by tramcar from Edinburgh and 5 minutes from Musselburgh. The house is 18th century with a fine front and circular flight of steps to front door, and a courtyard in front with pillared entrance. The interior is very hansome and ornate, with richly panelled walls and pictures inset. At the back there is a grass park of 2½ acres surrounded by terraces. There is a private entrance from Newhailes station to the grounds.” The advertisement went on to describe the number of bedrooms, reception rooms and facilities, saying the drainage was in good order and the house connected to the Edinburgh telephone exchange (Musselburgh 132). Asking interested parties to contact Messrs. Hope Todd and Kirk W S of 19 Charlotte Street, Edinburgh.
The house it seems was difficult to rent, and it was again advertised in February 1920 and repeated in May and again in August. By December 1921 it was again advertised to let in The Times and The Scotsman hoping to attract a family by adding:
David married Dorothy Lewis in London in August 1923; she became Lady Dorothy Mirabelle Cynthia Dalrymple. They lived in London, both hedonistic, they partied, largely neglecting Newhailes, which was eventually leased to the Earl and Countess of Cassillis, Marquess of Ailsa, Margaret's elder married sister, from the trustees.
Their social lifestyle put demands on the Newhailes trustees and various house antiques were sold at auction at Sotheby's and Frank Partridge & Sons. Within a few years, the actress and the peer had drifted apart, leading separate lives, Dorothy went back to the theatre, and David eventually died of a heart attack at his flat near Regent's Park, in Walton House, Longford Street on 2 December 1932 age 53. A month before he had changed his will, stating “ I give devise appoint and bequeath all my real and personal property of whatever nature or kind and wheresoever situate unto my said sister Alice Dalrymple absolutely....” Using Scottish law, he essentially had disinherited Dorothy. She however, married Frederick William Hartman in 1933, became a successful Mayfair hostess, inherited his business Lendrum & Hartman Limited and died in 1957.
Sir Mark Dalrymple, 3rd Baronet (1915–1971) died without issue
After his parents’ divorce, his mother married Sir Patrick Graham Blake Blake baronets in 1925, he died five years later.
Mark was taken on a world tour by his widowed mother (Lady Blake). They left England for New York on the Cunard SS Berengaria SS Imperator in November 1935, across the US to San Francisco and on to Honolulu in December, later Australia. They returned to England via Ceylon Sri Lanka by P&O SS RMS Strathaird in May 1936. He served with Royal Scots Territorials 1937 to 1940, then in 1941, during the Second World War, joined the Royal Air Force.
Mark married Antonia Marian Amy Isabel Stewart, in 1946 the only daughter of Randolph Stewart, 12th Earl of Galloway a military man, and his American wife Philippa Wendell, whose sister was married to Henry Herbert, 6th Earl of Carnarvon, whose father had funded archaeologist Howard Carter when he discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun.
They had no children and when Mark died in June 1971 the Barony became extinct. The house became vacant around 1980.
Finally, in 2011 at the age of 71 the widowed Lady Antonia left her apartment in the house and went to live in a cottage on the estate. She died at the Cluny Lodge Nursing Home, Edinburgh, 15 July 2017, aged 91. Thus ended 300 years of the Dalrymple's of Newhailes.
Inveresk Churchyard
About 2 miles from Newhailes House is the village of Inveresk, situated immediately to the south of Musselburgh. It has been designated a conservation area since 1969. There has been a church on the site since the 6th century. The present church Saint Michael's was built in 1805, to the design of Robert Nisbet; the steeple by William Sibbald. The interior was reoriented and remodelled in 1893 and again in 2002. Known as the ‘Visible Kirk’ because of its prominent position, it stands on the site of a Roman praetorium and replaces a medieval church. The interior has a fine Adam-style ceiling and some excellent stained glass. Magnificent pipe organ by Lewis & Co 1892, originally built with early form of electric action.
It has been used by successions of the Dalrymple family and a number of them have been buried or remembered there:
Alice Mary Hunter Dalrymple-Fergusson (Blair) 14 May 1852 - 2 September 1889
Rt. Honourable Sir Charles Dalrymple 1st Bart. 15 October 1839 - 20 June 1916
Christian Elizabeth Louisa Dumaresq (Dalrymple) 9 July 1875 - 9 April 1932
Sir David Dalrymple 2nd Bart. 28 March 1879 - 2 December 1932
Alice Mary Dalrymple 31 August 1884 - 23 October 1959
Sir Mark Dalrymple 3rd Bart. 13 May 1915- 29 June 1971
The last of the Newhailes Dalrymple's
Lady Antonia Dalrymple (Stewart) 3 December 1925 - 15 July 2017 Seafield Crematorium, Edinburgh
Morham church
About 17 miles to the east of Inveresk is the Dalrymple loft and mausoleum of circa 1730, an imposing feature on the north side of Morham church, East Lothian. The village, once a few hundred yards south of the church, has vanished. The present building of 1724 replaced a church of 1685 and stands in a secluded hollow in a very neat walled burial ground.
National Trust acquisition of house and estate
In 1976, the books and Lord Hailes's papers were removed to the National Library of Scotland in lieu of death duties following the death of Sir Mark Dalrymple at the age of 56. The Government accepted around seven-thousand volumes from the Newhailes Library, the collection included: history and biography (c. 1,800 volumes), classical and modern literature (c. 2,500 volumes), law, politics and economics (c. 1,000 volumes), and theology (c. 750 volumes).
In 1997, Newhailes house was given to the National Trust for Scotland by his wife Lady Antonia Dalrymple because the cost of upkeep had become impossible and the house was in danger of falling into disrepair. It was to allow to grow old gracefully through a pioneering conservation policy which does ‘as much as is necessary, but as little as possible’ to keep the house in good order without disturbing its ‘untouched’ atmosphere.
In 2002, Prince Charles made a visit to the opening of Newhailes House with NTS curator Ian Gow.
In 2016, the National Trust announced a £2.4 million investment plan to be spent on conservation, landscape enhancement, and on commercial and visitor services improvements.
In 2019, the National Trust for Scotland reported that it was undertaking a large-scale exercise to rid the house of moth infestation. 65,395 people visited the house during 2019.
Artwork on display in house
A number of painting are on display within the house, largely Dalrymple family portraits by Scottish painter Allan Ramsay (artist),(1713-1784) and selection of local landscapes by James Norie (1711-1736). There is a landscape (1816) by John Thomson of Duddingston (1778-1840) featuring the ancestral Hailes Castle and Traprain Law, on display in the library.
The house facilities
After it was acquired by the Scottish National Trust, It is open to the public by way of guided tours. It now offers a location for weddings, corporate events and private parties.
Newhailes Stable Block
Situated to the south-west of Newhailes House, the stables and office block was built as part of the changes initiated on the estate in 1798 (with the north and east ranges constructed in 1826). They comprise a two-storey quadrangular Classical stable court, incorporating late 17th century to mid-18th century builds in the north-west and south-west ranges. After designs by James Craig (architect), circa 1792. The buildings are currently under renovation with a view for conversion to provide upgraded welcome and catering facilities for visitors.
Newhailes garden
A rare survival of an early to mid-18th century Rococo landscape garden, developed in the formative period of the 'natural' style in Scotland, laid out during 1720-40s for the Dalrymple family. It has associations with James Smith (architect) (1645-1731) (the architect's own home, known as Whitehill before Newhailes), and the horticulturalist and garden designer John Hay (1758-1836). Considered '...the most eminent horticultural architect Scotland has ever produced.’
The Pleasure Grounds
The estate is notable for the remains of a 'Shell Grotto'. The fashion for such grottoes was at its height in the later 18th century, popularised by precedents at Stourhead estate, in Wiltshire c.1748, and Pope's villa Grotto in Twickenham, c.1725. The Newhailes Grotto was Commissioned by Lord Hailes, built c.1785, as a pleasure ground to the north of the house. There are the remains of square plan rocaille grotto set in woodlands, currently roofless. The interior formerly lined with decorative sea shell patterns, mounted on timber panels, of which only remnants remain in woodland around.
In addition a 'Tea House' standing upon a Palladian bridge with views of cascades and waterfalls. The 'Ladies' Walk' on its raised terrace between the Cow and Sheep Parks is thought to be unique in Scotland.
Newhailes railway station (closed 1950)
The station stood where the Newhailes Road (A6095) bridge crosses the rail track to Newcraighall Road. The house and estate had its own private entrance. First recorded as 'New Hailes' this station stood within the estate but served the town of Musselburgh as well as the estate from 1847 to 1950. The station name was changed from 'NEW HAILES' to 'NEWHAILES' in September 1938. The station opened sometime after the opening of the Musselburgh branch in 1847, and closed on 2 February 1950. The platform buildings are now occupied by Niddrie Bowling Club.

Procambarus lucifugus lucifugus, known as the Withlocoochee light-fleeing cave crayfish, is one of two subspecies of the vampire crayfish (Procambarus lucifugus), along with Procambarus lucifugus alachua. It is distinct from P. l. alachua due its lack of eyespots. Intergrades of the two P. lucifugus subspecies, P. l. alachua as well as P. erythrops and P. leitheuseri have been found to have little genetic differentiation, especially when compared to P. l. lucifugus which is distinct from all of those. It has been suggested that P. l. lucifugus may prove to be a different species, found only in two freshwater caves, the location of one of which is unknown.

Procambarus lucifugus lucifugus is only found in subterranean waters of two caves, one of which is the Gum Cave, about 7 miles (11.2 km) southwest of Floral City in Citrus County, Florida. It is also known to occur in a cave in the Hernando County, northward to Marion County, Florida, where it interbreeds to form intergrades with P. l. alachua.

Austrogomphus is a genus of dragonflies in the family Gomphidae,
endemic to Australia.
Species of Austrogomphus are tiny to medium-sized dragonflies, black in colour with yellowish markings. They are commonly known as hunters.
Species
The genus Austrogomphus includes the following species in four subgenera:
Subgenus Austroepigomphus
Austrogomphus (Austroepigomphus) praeruptus
Subgenus Austrogomphus
Austrogomphus angelorum - Murray River hunter
Austrogomphus arbustorum - toothed hunter
Austrogomphus australis - inland hunter
Austrogomphus collaris - western inland hunter
Austrogomphus cornutus - unicorn hunter
Austrogomphus doddi - northern river hunter
Austrogomphus guerini - yellow-striped hunter
Austrogomphus mjobergi - pimple-headed hunter
Austrogomphus mouldsorum - Kimberley hunter
Austrogomphus ochraceus - jade hunter
Austrogomphus pusillus - tiny hunter
Subgenus Pleiogomphus
Austrogomphus (Pleiogomphus) amphiclitus - pale hunter
Austrogomphus (Pleiogomphus) bifurcatus - dark hunter
Austrogomphus (Pleiogomphus) divaricatus - fork hunter
Austrogomphus (Pleiogomphus) prasinus - lemon-tipped hunter
Subgenus Xerogomphus
Austrogomphus (Xerogomphus) gordoni - western red hunter
Austrogomphus (Xerogomphus) turneri - flame-tipped hunter
Etymology
The genus name Austrogomphus is derived from two words: the Latin word auster meaning south wind, hence south; and the Greek word gomphus (γόμφος) meaning peg or nail. It is suggested that the shape of the male tail is generally like that of a bolt used in ship building. Gomphus is also a genus of dragonfly, with some similarities to Austrogomphus, both belonging to the much larger family group, Gomphidae. In 1854 Edmond de Sélys Longchamps named the sub-genus Austrogomphus probably as a southern or Australian component of the gomphid group.

El Al was established by the Israeli government in . Initially offering a weekly service between Tel Aviv and Paris in 1949, the airline began flying to many European destinations the same year, with services to the United States and South Africa starting in 1951. Following delivery of their first Boeing 707–420 in , the carrier started flying scheduled New York City–Tel Aviv flights—the longest non-stop route flown by any airline at the time.
El Al flies to 51 destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.
Following is a list of airports served by the carrier as part of its scheduled services.
COVID-19 outbreak
On 30 January 2020, El Al suspended flights to Beijing because of the outbreak of COVID-19.
In March 2020 the airline saw reduced demand and cancelled flights to Europe. El Al proposed in early March 2020 to lay off 1 in 6 of its 6,200 employees. Israel has discontinued the entry from some nations of all non-Israelis and mandated that Israelis who return from said nations put themselves into a self-imposed two week quarantine.
On 11 March, El Al suspended 8 in 10 employees, and drastically reduced operations. The remaining employees, who include all pilots, will be paid 20% less.

/// \class UsdPrimRange
///
/// An forward-iterable range that traverses a subtree of prims rooted at a
/// given prim in depth-first order.
///
/// In addition to depth-first order, UsdPrimRange provides the optional ability
/// to traverse in depth-first pre- and post-order wher prims appear twice in
/// the range; first before all descendants and then again immediately after all
/// descendants. This is useful for maintaining state associated with subtrees,
/// in a stack-like fashion. See UsdPrimRange::iterator::IsPostVisit() to
/// detect when an iterator is visiting a prim for the second time.
///
/// There are several constructors providing different levels of
/// configurability; ultimately, one can provide a prim predicate for a custom
/// iteration, just as one would use UsdPrim::GetFilteredChildren() in a custom
/// recursion.
///
/// Why would one want to use a UsdPrimRange rather than just iterating
/// over the results of UsdPrim::GetFilteredDescendants() ? Primarily, if
/// one of the following applies:
/// \li You need to perform pre-and-post-order processing
/// \li You may want to prune sub-trees from processing (see UsdPrimRange::iterator::PruneChildren())
/// \li You want to treat the root prim itself uniformly with its
/// descendents (GetFilteredDescendants() will not return the root prim itself,
/// while UsdPrimRange will - see UsdPrimRange::Stage for an exception).
///
/// <b>Using UsdPrimRange in C++</b>
///
/// UsdPrimRange provides standard container-like semantics. For example:
/// \code
/// // simple range-for iteration
/// for (UsdPrim prim: UsdPrimRange(rootPrim)) {
/// ProcessPrim(prim);
/// }
///
/// // using stl algorithms
/// std::vector<UsdPrim> meshes;
/// auto range = stage->Traverse();
/// std::copy_if(range.begin(), range.end(), std::back_inserter(meshes),
/// [](UsdPrim const &) { return prim.IsA<UsdGeomMesh>(); });
///
/// // iterator-based iterating, with subtree pruning
/// UsdPrimRange range(rootPrim);
/// for (auto iter = range.begin(); iter != range.end(); ++iter) {
/// if (UsdModelAPI(*iter).GetKind() == KindTokens->component) {
/// iter.PruneChildren();
/// }
/// else {
/// nonComponents.push_back(*iter);
/// }
/// }
/// \endcode
///
/// <b>Using Usd.PrimRange in python</b>
///
/// The python wrapping for PrimRange is python-iterable, so it can
/// used directly as the object of a "for x in..." clause; however in that
/// usage one loses access to PrimRange methods such as PruneChildren() and
/// IsPostVisit(). Simply create the iterator outside the loop to overcome
/// this limitation. Finally, in python, prim predicates must be combined
/// with bit-wise operators rather than logical operators because the latter
/// are not overridable.
/// \code{.py}
/// # simple iteration
/// for prim in Usd.PrimRange(rootPrim):
/// ProcessPrim(prim)
///
/// # filtered range using iterator to invoke iterator methods
/// it = iter(Usd.PrimRange.Stage(stage, Usd.PrimIsLoaded & ~Usd.PrimIsAbstract))
/// for prim in it:
/// if Usd.ModelAPI(prim).GetKind() == Kind.Tokens.component:
/// it.PruneChildren()
/// else:
/// nonComponents.append(prim)
/// \endcode
///
/// Finally, since iterators in python are not directly dereferencable, we
/// provide the \em python \em only methods GetCurrentPrim() and IsValid(),
/// documented in the python help system.

The LSU Lady Tigers track and field team represents Louisiana State University in NCAA Division I women's indoor and outdoor track and field.
History
The Lady Tiger program began in August 1978. The LSU Lady Tigers track and field program is the premier women's track and field program in the NCAA, winning more NCAA championships than any other school in history. The Lady Tigers have won a total of 25 NCAA championships (11 indoor, 14 outdoor). The closest school is Texas with 10 total championships. The Lady Tigers won their first NCAA championship in 1987 under head coach Sam Seemes. The following year Pat Henry took over the program and led the team to an unprecedented 11 straight NCAA outdoor championships, the most consecutive NCAA titles by a women's team in any NCAA sport. In 2004, Dennis Shaver became the LSU Lady Tigers head coach. He coached the team to the 2008 NCAA outdoor championship.
The first Lady Tiger team formed in August of 1978 following Title IX mandates. The first meet was an indoor meet on Dec. 9, 1978 at Carl Maddox Field House on the LSU campus. Gold and Silver Olympic medalist Pam Jiles from New Orleans, La. was on the first team. Another notable Lady Tiger was shotputter Donna Brazile also from New Orleans. Other members of the first team were, Stacy Allen, hurdler, from Metairie, La.; Leila Byrne, sprinter; Vicky Dunn, sprinter; Caroline Favorite,sprinter; Lynnette Favorite, sprinter; Joanie Hathorn; Paula Hayden, middle distance/distance, from Adams Massachusetts; Lourdes Maristany, middle distance/distance from New Orleans, La.; Dr. Marguerite Miranne Rosales, middle distance, from New Orleans; La, Donna Otzenberger Kivirauma, middle distance/distance from Baton Rouge, La; Elaine Smith, sprinter; Athena Thomas, sprinter; Carin Thorp, Sprinter; and Lynn Tutzauer, middle distance/distance.
Kimberlyn Duncan became the first from LSU to win The Bowerman, an award that honors collegiate track & field's most outstanding athlete of the year. In 2012, she became the first woman in NCAA Division I history to win back-to-back indoor and outdoor national titles in the 200 meters.

Carl Maddox Field House
Carl Maddox Field House built in 1975 is the indoor track and field home arena for the LSU Lady Tigers and LSU Tigers track and field teams. The arena has a seating capacity of 3,000. The field house features a 200-meter unbanked track, elevated jump runways, a variety of throwing areas and multiple high jump and vaulting areas. In 1998, the arena was renamed in honor of former LSU Athletic Director Carl Maddox.
Bernie Moore Track Stadium
Bernie Moore Track Stadium built in 1969 is the outdoor track and field home stadium for the LSU Lady Tigers and LSU Tigers track and field teams. The stadium has a seating capacity of 5,680. In 1971, the stadium was renamed after former LSU football and track & field coach, Bernie Moore. Moore coached the LSU Track and Field teams for 18 years (1930–47) and led the Tigers to their first NCAA National Championship in 1933 as well as 12 SEC crowns.
Training facilities
Bernie Moore Track Stadium weight room
Opened in January 2003, the weight room is for the LSU Tigers track and field and LSU Lady Tigers track and field team's. The LSU track and field weight room is a 2,000 square foot facility designed for an Olympic style lifting program. Located adjacent to the track, the weight room features 10 multi-purpose power stations, 5 dumbbell stations, 4 power racks, 5 sets of competition plates, 10 competition Olympic bars, 2 multi-purpose racks, an assortment of selectorized machines and 2 televisions for multimedia presentations.

Wilbur Rounding Franks, OBE (4 March 1901 – 4 January 1986) was a Canadian scientist, notable as the inventor of the anti-gravity suit or G-suit, and for his work in cancer research.
Career
He was born in Weston, Ontario and was a medical graduate at the University of Toronto. As a cancer researcher at the Banting and Best Medical Research Institute at University of Toronto, Franks developed an idea that resulted in the world's first anti-gravity suit or G-suit. Franks had noted that his test tubes often broke when subjected to severe centrifugal force. He had solved the problem by first inserting them into larger and stronger liquid-filled bottles.
In 1940, the anti gravity suit was developed under the name Franks Flying Suit by Wilbur R. Franks and his colleagues at the Banting and Best Medical Research Institute at the University of Toronto. The suit was made with rubber and water-filled pads. It counteracted the effects of high G forces on aircraft pilots, which otherwise would cause them to black out. These suits were used during World War II and all G-Suits worn by air force pilots as well as astronauts and cosmonauts around the world are based on his original designs. When testing his first prototype, Franks stated:
"The suit had been cut to fit me perfectly, standing up. . . . In the airplane I was sitting down, and when the pressure hit I thought it was going to cut me in two. The idea became practical only when we realized that great areas of the body could be left outside the fluid system."
In 1941 fellow Canadian scientist, Dr. Sir Frederick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin, died in a plane crash near Musgrave Harbour, Canada while on his way to England to assist Franks in the testing of the suit.
Recognition and awards
Wilbur Franks received an OBE for his work in early 1944 for giving "the Allied forces a tremendous tactical advantage" and "saving the lives of thousands of Allied fighter pilots." With this invention, over five times more pilots survived than they would've without the G-suit. In 1983, Franks was inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame. Franks work was also noticed in the United States where he was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Aerospace Medical Association's Theodore C. Lyster Award and Eric Liljencrantz Award.
Legacy
There is a Wilbur R. Franks Award that is given by the Canadian Society of Aviation Medicine for contributions to aviation medicine. The Wilbur Rounding Franks building located at 17 Wing Winnipeg is the home of the Canadian Forces School of Survival and Aeromedical Training (CFSSAT).

Gheorghe Balș (April 24, 1868 – September 22, 1934) was a Romanian engineer, architect and art historian.
Born in Adjud, Vrancea County, his parents Alecu Balș (1838-1894) and Roxanda Sturdza (d. 1878) were descended from prominent Moldavian boyar families. He studied in Lausanne, where he completed high school, and at the Zürich Polytechnic, where he earned an engineer's diploma. In 1891, after returning home, he was hired at the bridge inspection service of Căile Ferate Române state railway carrier. He worked with Anghel Saligny and possibly Louis Blanc on the King Carol I Bridge in Cernavodă and on the lighthouse in Tuzla. He worked on the Port of Constanța together with George Duca.
From 1908 to 1911, he worked in the technical service of the Interior Ministry's public health division. He collaborated closely with his brother-in-law Ioan Cantacuzino in the fight against tuberculosis, and was president of the Romanian Red Cross. Together with Nicolae Ghica-Budești, he built the Cantacuzino Institute in Bucharest in 1921. He was involved with the committee for historic monuments, joining in 1913 and later becoming vice president. In 1923, Balș was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy. He died in Bucharest in 1934.
Together with Ghica-Budești and Nicolae Iorga, he sought to identify the influences that shaped Romanian architecture both in Moldavia and in Wallachia. His research took him to Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Turkey and the Russian Empire. Balș pointed to Armenian and Georgian as well as Serbian contributions, and his work on 15th and 16th-century Moldavian architecture was favorably received. He sat on numerous company boards, including those of a mine and of a credit bank for encouraging industrial firms. The Balș family had extensive rural properties in Moldavia, but his parents gradually had to sell their lands in order to pay off debts and losses by their administrators. In 1880, his father sold the imposing residence in Iași that today houses the Music Conservatory.
In 1897, Balș married Maria Știrbey, the daughter of prince Alexandru B. Știrbei and the sister of Barbu Știrbey. The marriage contract specifies that the bride received a trousseau of 25,000 lei, and that she wished to invest 200,000 lei of her parents' inheritance for building and furnishing a house. The couple had four children: Zoe (1897-1991), Alexandru (1898-1950s), Ion (1901-1980) and Matei (1905–1976). A high school in Adjud was named after Balș in 2006.

Prince (Knyaz or Bey) Stefan Bogoridi (born Стойко Цонков Стойков, Stoyko Tsonkov Stoykov; ; ; ; ; 1775 or 1780–August 1, 1859) was a high-ranking Ottoman statesman of Bulgarian origin, grandson of Sophronius of Vratsa and father of Alexander Bogoridi and Nicolae Vogoride. Stefan and his brother Athanase were named Bogoridi after Boris I, the first Christian ruler of Bulgaria (who was also known under the name Bogoris). Their parents were Ioan Vogoridi and Ana N.
Biography
Born in Kotel, Bogoridi studied in the Greek-language Princely Academy in Bucharest, Wallachia, where he changed his Bulgarian name Stoyko for the Greek Ștefan. After finishing his studies, Bogoridi joined the Ottoman fleet as Dragoman and, under the command of Seid Mustafa Pasha (future Sultan Mustafa IV), took part in the Second Battle of Abukir against Napoleon Bonaparte in Egypt, making a miraculous escape after the defeat of the Ottoman forces.
In 1812, Stefan Bogoridi went to Moldavia with Prince Scarlat Callimachi, who appointed him governor of Galați (1812-1819). In 1821, during the local uprising of Tudor Vladimirescu and the invasion of Filiki Eteria as part of the Greek War of Independence, Bogoridi was nominal Caimacam of Wallachia; the following year, after the sweeping Ottoman offensive against Alexander Ypsilantis, he held the actual position of Caimacam in Moldavia 1822, and then returned as Dragoman of the Ottoman fleet. Between 1825 and 1828, he was exiled in Anatolia.
After the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829 and the Treaty of Adrianople, he was an advisor of Mahmud II, who gave him the title of prince (bey, ηγεμόνας) and appointed him governor of the island of Samos. He visited Samos only once in 1839 and ruled the island from Istanbul. Bogoridi, who renamed the capital of the island Stefanopolis after himself, was hated by the local Greek population due to his arbitrary rule. The Samians revolted against him in 1849 and had the Sultan dismiss him in 1850.
Under Abdülmecid I, Bogoridi was a member of the Tanzimat Council and an imperial counsellor. He obtained permission from Abdülmecid for building a Bulgarian Orthodox church in Istanbul, and donated his house in Fener (1849). On that spot, the famous Bulgarian Iron church was later erected, and named Saint Stephen in memory of him. He died in Istanbul.

The Genomic HyperBrowser is a web-based system for statistical analysis of genomic annotation data.
History
The Genomic HyperBrowser has been developed since early 2008 and went public in December 2010. The latest version of the system (v1.6) was released in May 2013. The system is developed by the Norwegian Bioinformatics Platform, a joint project between the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the University of Tromsø and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. The Genomic HyperBrowser is free software under the GNU GPL v3.
Use
The HyperBrowser allows a range of genomic investigations (for example, including regulation of gene expression, disease association or epigenetic modifications of the genome). The primary focus of the system is on statistical inference on relations between genomic tracks, though simpler descriptive statistics and analysis of individual tracks is also supported. An example of analysis is to investigate the relationship between histone modifications and gene expression, using ChIP-based tracks of histone modifications versus tracks of genes marked with expression values from a microarray experiment. The web server includes a sizable collection of annotation tracks, and also supports user-uploaded tracks. The Genomic HyperBrowser runs as a stand-alone system, but is tightly integrated with the Galaxy scientific workflow platform for handling of genomic data, especially at the user interface side.
A project to compile a differential disease regulome used the Genomic HyperBrowser in mapping transcription factors against all human diseases.

Garcia Live Volume 15 is a two-CD live album by Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders. It was recorded on May 21, 1971 at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco. It contains the complete concert from that date except for the encore, which was "Deal". It was released on December 4, 2020.
At this show, Garcia (guitar, vocals) and Saunders (keyboards, vocals) played as a trio with drummer Bill Vitt. Their usual bass player, John Kahn, was not present. Saxophonist Martin Fierro sat in on some songs. A few years later, Fierro would be a member of the Garcia / Saunders band called Legion of Mary.
Critical reception
In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "[The recording] derives from the early days of the longstanding collaboration between these two deeply kindred spirits and covers what is, in retrospect, very familiar stylistic ground in the nascent stages of exploration. Back cover disclaimer on audio quality aside, Fred Kevorkian's mastering of Jeff Ziegler's mix achieves the optimum combination of atmosphere and clarity... Garcia's work with Saunders allowed him extra freedom to stretch out in a more informal setting than with the Grateful Dead, the fruitful prospects for which were enhanced through the intimacy of a venue such as this two-hundred seat room. Accordingly, the ensemble artfully maintains a keen balance between restraint and expansion during the course of the largely instrumental, near-two hours total."

Nothing Is Wrong is the second studio album by American folk-rock band Dawes, released on June 7, 2011. It is the only Dawes album to feature keyboard player Alex Casnoff.
Reviews
Nothing Is Wrong received favorable reviews from many music critics and Metacritic gave it a Metascore of 80 out of 100, based on 14 reviews. Uncut placed it at number 39 on its list of the "Top 50 Albums of 2011."
Andrew Leahey of Allmusic told that "those looking to rock out won’t find many headbanging opportunities here" because the album "works well as driving music, particularly if the scenery outside your windshield matches the sepia-toned music." At American Songwriter, Paula Carino found that the release "succeeds on its own terms, and will appeal to fans of solid roots-rock songwriting." Steven Hyden of The A.V. Club affirmed that on the album "Dawes comes far, and appears to be only getting started." Beats per Minute's Johan Alm evoked that "beyond the band's development as musicians and the excellent production, the growth and increasingly personal nature of Taylor Goldsmith’s songwriting is what makes Nothing Is Wrong the success it is. " At Glide Magazine, Chris Calarco touched on that "with Nothing is Wrong'''s ability to fire poignant and lasting musical arrows straight from a heart of gold, Dawes signals they are here to stay."
At The Independent, Andy Gill called this "a thoughtful, mature conclusion to an album that seems to summarise one of the more welcoming trends in American rock." The Line of Best Fit's Janne Oinonen alluded to how the album has "an apt title", which is because "the outcome is an album that sounds skilled and accomplished rather than truly inspired." Alan Shulman of No Ripcord said that he would not "hesitate to recommend this record to anybody", and stated that as a listener they "may not love it, but you’ll probably like it, and that’s enough." At Paste (magazine), Wyndham Wyeth proclaimed the release as being "something truly special." Chris Martins of Spin affirmed that even "though restlessness is the dominant lyrical theme here", yet the release "sounds familiar and comforting" at the same time.
However, Drowned in Sound's Al Horner told the release "paws so affectionately at the Americana idols that inspired it that you glean nothing of the band that penned it", which he recommended it "would have been a better record had that time been spent eking the emotion out of their own lives, rather than their record collections." At Rolling Stone'', Will Hermes highlighted that "this tuneful but sometimes bland set could use more of that", which is from "Taylor's current side project, Middle Brother, shows his wilder, less studied side".

Cherry Glazerr is an American rock band from Los Angeles, formed in 2013. The current lineup consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Clementine Creevy, bassist Sami Perez and drummer Tabor Allen. The band's sound has transitioned from lo-fi and garage rock on their debut release Haxel Princess in 2014 to a more polished rock sound, with elements of grunge, punk and new wave on their subsequent releases Apocalipstick and Stuffed & Ready. Their fourth studio album, I Don't Want You Anymore, was released on Secretly Canadian on September 29, 2023.
History
Formation and early years (2012–2016)
Cherry Glazerr originated as Clembutt, a solo project for then-15-year-old vocalist and guitarist Clementine Creevy, who wrote, performed and uploaded a small catalog of songs onto SoundCloud in 2012. The tracks were discovered by Burger Records co-founder Sean Bohrman, who released them as a tape titled Papa Cremp in 2013. In 2013, Creevy was joined by her high school friends Hannah Uribe and Sophia Muller, on drums and vocals respectively, and Sean Redman on bass. The band takes its name from NPR reporter Chery Glaser. Glazerr began performing with a number of prominent bands and festival scenes in 2013, including SXSW, Beach Goth, at the El Rey with Mikal Cronin and Redd Kross, and alongside Fidlar at Burger Records' annual Burgerama festival, where they captured the attention of fashion icon Hedi Slimane.
In 2014, the band, now a trio following the departure of vocalist Sophia Muller, released their full-length debut Haxel Princess on Burger Records, featuring percussion by Joel Jerome. The album, described as "concocted from a mix of attitude, silliness and garage-born guitar haze" was praised for Creevy's unique vocals – alternating from dreamy to high-pitched, hostile and unforgiving – and for its cynical, witty lyrics.
Apocalipstick and Stuffed & Ready (2017–present)
Cherry Glazerr released their sophomore album, Apocalipstick, on January 20, 2017. The band's first album for Secretly Canadian was recorded at Hollywood's Sunset Sound studio in early 2016 with producers Joe Chicarrelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes) and Carlos De La Garza (Paramore), and explores themes of female empowerment, individuality, sexuality and consumerism. Apocalipstick was released to overall critical approval: it was described by Pitchfork as the band's "fiercest recording yet, full of shredding jams, furious howls, and self-aware swagger', and its lead single "Told You I'd Be With The Guys" as a "tremendous indie rock tune powerful enough to restore your faith in the genre" by The Guardian.
Cherry Glazerr toured extensively across Europe and North America throughout 2017, supporting Foster the People and Slowdive on their North American tours, and playing a number of festivals, including FYF Fest, Pitchfork Fest and La Route du Rock.
In 2018, Cherry Glazerr played at Coachella, opened for Portugal. The Man and The Breeders, and released a new single, "Juicy Socks".
In November 2018, Cherry Glazerr announced their new album Stuffed & Ready would be released on February 1, 2019. They released a new single, "Daddi", with the announcement, accompanied by an animated music video directed by Danny Cole. In 2021, the band contributed a cover of the Metallica song "My Friend of Misery" to the charity tribute album The Metallica Blacklist.
On July 12, 2023, the band announced that their fourth studio album, I Don't Want You Anymore, would be released on Secretly Canadian on September 29, 2023.
Other appearances
Music by Cherry Glazerr has been featured on a number of artistic platforms. After recruiting vocalist Clementine Creevy to model for the Yves Saint Laurent Campaign in 2013, creative director Hedi Slimane commissioned Cherry Glazerr to write a song for his Fall 2014 Saint Laurent's women's show ("Had Ten Dollaz"). In 2014, Cherry Glazerr recorded a new version of the Al Dubin and Joe Burke song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", which was featured in the 2015 supernatural horror film Insidious: Chapter 3. In 2020, the band was featured in a music video for the song "The End of The Game" by the American rock band Weezer, although they were not featured in the song.
Style and influences
Rolling Stone described Cherry Glazerr's music as "sarcasm-heavy, garage-rock" with "hooky choruses and punk stomphas" and likened them to other bands with female singers such as Blondie, Sleater-Kinney and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The band has cited influences such as Patti Smith, Joan Jett, Iggy Pop, Björk, Siouxsie Sioux, Joni Mitchell and the Rolling Stones.
Members
The band has undergone a number of lineup changes since its inception. In 2015, Hannah Uribe left the band in pursuit of other artistic projects. In 2015, Cherry Glazerr saw the addition of two new musicians: multi-instrumentalist Sasami Ashworth on synths, who was invited to join the band by Sean Redman, and drummer Tabor Allen, who was subsequently invited to join the band by Ashworth. In mid-2016, and after participating in the recording of Apocalipstick, Redman departed and became a full-time member of his other band The Buttertones. He was replaced by bassist Devin O'Brien in 2017. In January 2018, Cherry Glazerr announced that Sasami Ashworth had left the band in order to concentrate on her own musical projects.
On the subject of the band's change in personnel, Clementine Creevy described Cherry Glazerr as "a band that I lead, that has had a lot of beautiful additions to it and a lot of people have played in it. I'm proud of that...it feels like the type of exploration of collaborative music that I've always wanted to achieve".

Universal service is an economic, legal and business term used mostly in regulated industries, referring to the practice of providing a baseline level of services to every resident of a country. An example of this concept is found in the US Telecommunications Act of 1996, whose goals are:
to promote the availability of quality services at just, reasonable, and affordable rates
to increase access to advanced telecommunications services throughout the Nation
to advance the availability of such services to all consumers, including those in low income, rural, insular, and high cost areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged in urban areas
Universal service was widely adopted in legislation in Europe beginning in the 1980s and 1990s. For instance, under the EU Postal Services Directive (97/67/EC), the Electricity Market Directive (2003/54/EC) and the Telecommunications Directive (2002/22/EC). The language of "universal service" has also been used in proposals by the US Democratic Party for the reform of health care.
Origins of concept and term
The concept of universal service appears to have originated with Rowland Hill and the Uniform Penny Post which he introduced in the United Kingdom in 1837. Though Hill never used the term "universal service", his postal system had the hallmarks of early universal service; postal rates were reduced to uniform rates throughout the nation which were affordable to most Britons, enabled by the postage stamp (first introduced here) and a General Post Office monopoly on mail. Hill's reforms were quickly adopted by postal authorities worldwide, including the United States Post Office Department (now the United States Postal Service) which already held a monopoly through the Private Express Statutes. The service obligations of USPS under current law are commonly referred to as the "universal service obligation" or "USO". Universal service is also a key objective of the Universal Postal Union.
The term "universal service", on the other hand, appears to have originated with Theodore Newton Vail, president of American Telephone & Telegraph (the original AT&T) and head of the Bell System, in 1907 with the corporate slogan "One Policy, One System, Universal Service". It was intended as a contrast to the "dual service" that had become common since the original Bell telephone patents expired in 1894, where independent telephone companies operated not only in non-Bell System markets, but also as a competitor in Bell markets.
These independent phone companies did not interconnect to the Bell System; though modern commentators suggest Bell refused to do so as an excuse for monopolization, it was argued then that phone systems of that day could not interconnect unless all phone companies used the same technology, as the Bell System did. This required many businesses to maintain phones with both companies, or else risk losing customers who subscribed to the other phone company.
Vail argued that an interconnected phone system (the Bell System), operated by one company (AT&T) and with rates regulated by the government, would be superior to the dual system and would produce great social benefits, much like Hill's postal reforms. Though largely ignored by modern commentators, Vail did work for the U.S. Post Office Department earlier in his career; thus, he may have been inspired by the U.S. postal system of that day.
Eventually, Vail prevailed in his views, first through state laws and ultimately through the Kingsbury Commitment of 1913, where AT&T agreed to several measures, including interconnection with non-competing independent phone companies, to avoid antitrust action, thus formalizing the Bell System monopoly. Meanwhile, the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910 made AT&T subject to regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Universal service in telecommunications was eventually established as U.S. national policy by the Communications Act of 1934, whose preamble declared its purpose as “to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, a rapid, efficient, Nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges”. The chief purpose of this law was to combine the Federal Radio Commission with the ICC's wire communications powers, including regulation of AT&T, into a new Federal Communications Commission with greater powers over both radio and wire communications.
Though the Bell System divestiture of 1984 dissolved the monopoly that inspired the term (though SBC Communications, one of the Baby Bells created then, ultimately bought AT&T and assumed its name), universal service remained official U.S. telecommunications policy under the 1934 Act, even as the FCC began to abandon rate regulation. It was further codified by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, even as it permitted expanded competition in the telecommunications field. The Federal Communications Commission is actively exploring universal service reform, and the place of universal service to the broadband communications environment.
Funding
Most countries fund their USO by requiring the incumbent operator to be the designated USO provider or USP. USPs often previously held a legal monopoly protection. The USO is thus funded by rates/tariffs, and also by scale and scope economies. The risk of such an approach, while allowing competitive entry, is that a cross-subsidy exists and thus new entrants can potentially cream-skim (enter in only profitable routes or lines). One response is that some countries have a Universal Service Fund and have all their telecommunications industries pay a part of their net earnings into it. This fund has different names in different countries:
Chile has the Telecommunications Development Fund (FDT),
India has the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF),
Pakistan has the Universal Service Fund Company (USF Co.),
Taiwan has the Universal Service Fund (USF),
Australia has the Telecommunications Industry Levy (TIL), etc.
Implementation
Though the nomenclature is different the importance of the goal of universal service has been noted by most of the countries and similar methods are being implemented to work towards this end. Each country gives certain service providers Universal Service Provider or Eligible Telecommunications Carrier status. This allows the provider in question to get subsidies from the universal service fund to economically provide the necessary service.
The basic concept of Universal service is the below-cost pricing of service to increase the quantity of service as shown in Fig. 1.
The figure shows a demand curve where the region in red shows the extent of the original service and the increase shown by the green area represents the increase in the service area once the subsidy helps reduce the prices. The conclusion is simple, as the prices reduce from P1 to P2 the quantity of customers increases form Q1 to Q2. Thus satisfying allowing universal service.
The size of the subsidy paid out to the telecommunication service provider in this case is shown in Fig.2.
Since each call in fact costs price P1 and price P2 in the cash flow from the customer, the rest (P1-P2) comes from the Universal Service Fund.
This is a simplistic case and most countries have very complex legislation to guarantee the service and have several subsidy mechanisms to implement universal service. The case shows the idea behind universal service not the universal service mechanism actually used in any country.
Efficiency
As seen from the above, the number of potential customers increases as the number of people who can now afford it increases. However service providers need to be able to actually provide that service through their network. This build-out of network is also subsidized by funds like the High Cost Fund in the United States which is also provided for in the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Besides services to deprived areas, there is also a "Lifeline" program that subsidizes telephone service to low-income people regardless of location.

Wizardry (also known as Spell of Destruction) is an adventure game with some action and role-playing elements, published by The Edge in 1985 for the Commodore 64. It was programmed by Steven T. Chapman (author of Quo Vadis) and the music was composed by Clever Music (Graham Jarvis and Rob Hartshorne) under the alias of Mike Alsop.
Reception
Zzap!64 were impressed by the game's graphics and sound but found the puzzles overly obscure. It was rated 71% overall. Commodore User 11/1985 gave 4.2 of 5 stars. Computer and Video Games 12/1985 rated the game 90 of 100. Eric Doyle of Your Commodore praised the game's graphics, music, and "engrossing and enjoyable" puzzle element. He gave it 7 out of 10 for originality, 8 out of 10 for both playability and value for money, and 9 out of 10 for graphics. German computer magazine Happy Computer 11/1986 gave 74 of 100.

Details Sketchy is an EP by Dessau, released on September 19, 1995, by Fifth Colvmn Records. The album was Fifth Colvmn' fastest seller despite composer John Elliott being underwhelmed by the finished recordings.
Music
The EP Details Sketchy revealed the band adopting more of a heavy metal-style in comparison to their dance oriented back catalogue. The track "The Sun" appeared on two various artists compilations, 1995's Forced Cranial Removal by Fifth Colvmn Records and 2009's Resurrection 3 by WTII Records.
Reception
Fabryka Music Magazine gave Details Sketchy two out of four stars and said "there are several rock songs in the cloud of samples ad loops but such a fusion doesn't impress because either of the ideas or the dynamics." Black Monday called the EP "nothing memorable" and noted that its "being "pushed" on the laurels of guest performances by members of Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Nine In Nails, Filter and Die Warzau. Sonic Boom said "the music itself is kind of a light-hearted dance festival with catchy lyrics with the occasional guitar chord thrown in for good measure" and compared it favorably to Filter's or Revolting Cocks' lighter material.

87 (eighty-seven) is the natural number following 86 and preceding 88.
In mathematics
87 is:
the sum of the squares of the first four primes (87 = 22 + 32 + 52 + 72).
the sum of the sums of the divisors of the first 10 positive integers.
the thirtieth semiprime, and the twenty-sixth distinct semiprime and the eighth of the form (3.q).
together with 85 and 86, forms the last semiprime in the 2nd cluster of three consecutive semiprimes; the first comprising 33, 34, 35.
with an aliquot sum of 33; itself a semiprime, within an aliquot sequence of five composite numbers (87,33,15,9,4,3,1,0) to the Prime in the 3-aliquot tree.
5! - 4! - 3! - 2! - 1! = 87
the last two decimal digits of Graham's number.
In sports
Cricket in Australia holds 87 as a superstitiously unlucky score and is referred to as "the devil's number". This originates from the fact that 87 is 13 runs short of a century. 187, 287, and so on are also considered unlucky but are not as common as 87 on its own.
In the National Hockey League, Wayne Gretzky scored a league-high 87 goals with the Edmonton Oilers in the 1983–84 NHL season.

Clinopodium chilense, synonyms including Satureja gilliesii, is a plant in the family Lamiaceae (the mint family). C. chilense is endemic to central Chile. It is found in the La Campana National Park area, in association with the endangered Chilean wine palm, Jubaea chilensis.
Taxonomy
Clinopodium chilense was first described as Gardoquia chilensis by George Bentham in 1832. It was transferred to Satureja by John Isaac Briquet in 1898, and then to Clinopodium by Rafaël Govaerts in 1999. Robert Graham had previously described Gardoquia gilliesii in 1831, which in 1896 Briquet had also transferred to Satureja. Satureja gilliesii is considered to be a synonym of Clinopodium chilense. The two cannot be united under the name "Clinopodium gilliesii", although the epithet gilliesii is earlier, because the combination Clinopodium gilliesii had already been published by Kuntze in 1891 for a different species.

The One Nation Conservatives is a UK parliamentary caucus of Conservative Party Members of Parliament who identify as one-nation conservatives.
History
In March 2019, the caucus was formed by a group of between 40 and 50 Conservative MPs. Nicky Morgan and Amber Rudd were announced as co-chairs of the caucus, and Damian Green and Nicholas Soames as board members. The One Nation group was reportedly set up in order to unite MPs around a candidate in the upcoming leadership election who would oppose withdrawing from the European Union without a deal.
On 4 June 2019, the caucus hosted the first leadership election hustings, held across two nights. Both events featured 4 different candidates; the first was chaired by Katy Balls (deputy political editor of The Spectator) and the second by Matt Forde.
Following Boris Johnson's election as party leader and appointment as Prime Minister, both co-chairs were given positions in his government. Morgan became the new Culture Secretary and Rudd carried on in her role as Work and Pensions Secretary. As a result, they both resigned the chairmanship and were succeeded by Damian Green.
On 3 September 2019, 21 Conservative MPs had the party whip withdrawn after voting in support of an emergency motion to enable the passage of the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019, also known as the "Benn Act". The One Nation caucus released a statement soon after, demanding that the whip be restored.
In October, a delegation of caucus members met the Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street to discuss the party's position on a no-deal Brexit at the next general election. Following the meeting, Green announced that Johnson had 'looked him in the eye' and assured them that the next Conservative manifesto would not include a no-deal pledge. It was reported that a number of Cabinet ministers and backbench MPs would be willing to resign in the event that such a manifesto commitment were made.
Declaration of Values
In May 2019, the caucus published a "Declaration of Values", covering a range of domestic, economic and foreign policy issues.
Membership
It is estimated that the caucus consists of approximately 110 Conservative MPs as of February 2020. Although a full list of members has not been made public, individual MPs have been identified by the press. They include:

Bhopal Express is a 1999 Indian Hindi film directed by Mahesh Mathai. The film stars Kay Kay Menon, Naseeruddin Shah, Nethra Raghuraman, Zeenat Aman and Vijay Raaz. The story was written by the advertising film maker Prasoon Pandey and his brother Piyush Pandey. The music was composed by the Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy trio.
Plot
Set against the gas tragedy in Bhopal, India, in 1984, this human drama examines the irresponsible methods of large corporations and the effects of their actions on common people. The night of the tragedy, poison gas clouds from the Union Carbide factory enveloped an arc of over 20 square kilometres killing over 8,000 people in its immediate aftermath and causing multi-systemic injuries to over 500,000 residents. Lest the neighbourhood community be "unduly alarmed", the siren in the factory had been switched off, adding to what would become an enduring disaster of immeasurable proportions. Adding insult to injury, researchers find that the future generations of the survivors will continue to suffer through chromosomal damage caused by the leak. The story unravels through the eyes of a newlywed couple and their friends as they try to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Orthophlebiidae is an extinct family of scorpionflies known from the Triassic to Cretaceous, belonging to the superfamily Panorpoidea. The family is poorly defined and is probably paraphyletic, representing many primitive members of Panorpoidea with most species only known from isolated wings, and has such been considered a wastebasket taxon.

Platt Adams (March 23, 1885 – February 27, 1961) was an American athlete. He competed in various events at the 1908 and 1912 Olympics and won a gold and a silver medal in jumping events in 1912.
Biography
Adams was born in Belleville, New Jersey. He had a brother, Ben Adams, also an Olympic athlete. In 1908 he finished fifth in the triple jump competition as well as in the standing high jump event. In the standing long jump competition he finished sixth. He also participated in the discus throw event and in the Greek discus contest but in both events his result is unknown.
Four years later he won the gold medal in the standing high jump and the silver medal in the standing long jump. In 1912 he also finished fifth in the triple jump competition and 23rd in the high jump event. At the same Olympics he competed in the baseball event which was held as demonstration sport.
In January 1915, the Metropolitan Association of the Amateur Athletic Union found Adams not guilty on charges of professionalism, having sold a prize or accepted cash for a medal in violation of his amateur status, in connection with a claim the Adams had traded a trophy he had received at an exhibition jump in exchange for pins.
A resident of South Orange, Adams was serving in the New Jersey General Assembly when he was named as the state's Chief Boxing Inspector in March 1923.
He died at his home in the Normandy Beach section of Toms River, New Jersey on February 27, 1961.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines religiosity as: "Religiousness; religious feeling or belief. [...] Affected or excessive religiousness". Different scholars have seen this concept as broadly about religious orientations and degrees of involvement or commitment. Religiosity is measured at the levels of individuals or groups and there is a lack of agreement on what criteria would constitute religiosity among scholars. Sociologists of religion have observed that an individual's experience, beliefs, sense of belonging, and behavior often are not congruent with their actual religious behavior, since there is much diversity in how one can be religious or not. Multiple problems exist in measuring religiosity. For instance, measures of variables such as church attendance produce different results when different methods are used - such as traditional surveys vs time-use surveys.
Measuring religion
Inaccuracy of polling and identification
The reliability of any poll results, in general and specifically on religion, can be questioned due numerous factors such as:
there have been very low response rates for polls since the 1990s
polls consistently fail to predict government election outcomes, which signifies that polls in general do not capture the actual views of the population
biases in wording or topic affect how people respond to polls
polls categorize people based on limited choices
polls often generalize broadly
polls have shallow or superficial choices, which complicate expressing their complex religious beliefs and practices
interviewer and respondent fatigue is very common
The measurement of religiosity is hampered by the difficulties involved in defining what is meant by the term and the variables it entails. Numerous studies have explored the different components of religiosity, with most finding some distinction between religious beliefs/doctrine, religious practice, and spirituality. When religiosity is measured, it is important to specify which aspects of religiosity are referred to.
Researchers also note that an estimated 20-40% of the population changes their self-reported religious affiliation/identity over time due to numerous factors and that usually it is their answers on surveys that change, not necessarily their religious practices or beliefs.
In general, polling numbers should not be taken at face value since the way people answer questions differs in meaning in context by different cultures and is, thus, misleading to assume that answering a poll questions has a simple interpretation.
According to Gallup there are variations on the responses based on how they ask questions. They routinely ask on complex things like belief in God since the early 2000s in 3 different wordings and they constantly receive 3 different percentages in responses.
Surveys in the United States
Two major surveys in the United States (General Social Survey and Cooperative Congressional Election Study) consistently have discrepancies between their demographic estimates that amount to 8% and growing. This is due to a few factors such as each one asking questions differently and, thus, impacting how respondents answer their questions due "social desirability bias"; the lumping of very different groups (atheist, agnostics, nothing in particular) into singular categories (e.g. "no religion" vs "nothing in particular"); and imbalance of representative respondents (e.g. GSS sample of nones is more politically moderate than the nones in the CCES, while simultaneously the Protestant sample in the CCES is further to the right of the political spectrum).
The 2008 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) found a difference between how people identify and what people believe. While only 0.7% of U.S. adults identified as atheist, 2.3% said there is no such thing as a god. Only 0.9% identified as agnostic, but 10.0% said there is either no way to know if a god exists or they weren't sure. Another 12.1% said there is a higher power but no personal god. In total, only 15.0% identified as Nones or No Religion, but 24.4% did not believe in the traditional concept of a personal god. The conductors of the study concluded, "The historic reluctance of Americans to self-identify in this manner or use these terms seems to have diminished. Nevertheless ... the level of under-reporting of these theological labels is still significant ... many millions do not subscribe fully to the theology of the groups with which they identify."
According to a Pew study in 2009, only 5% of the total US population did not have a belief in a god. Out of all those without a belief in a god, only 24% self-identified as "atheist", while 15% self-identified as "agnostic", 35% self-identified as "nothing in particular", and 24% identified with a religious tradition.
According to a Gallup's editor in chief, Frank Newport, numbers on surveys may not be the whole story. In his view, declines in religious affiliation or declines in belief in God on surveys may not actually reflect an actual decline in these beliefs among people since increased honesty on spiritual matters to interviewers may merely be increasing since people may feel more comfortable today expressing viewpoints that were previously deviant.
Diversity in an individual's beliefs, affiliations, and behaviors
Decades of anthropological, sociological, and psychological research have established that "religious congruence" (the assumption that religious beliefs and values are tightly integrated in an individual's mind or that religious practices and behaviors follow directly from religious beliefs or that religious beliefs are chronologically linear and stable across different contexts) is actually rare. People's religious ideas are fragmented, loosely connected, and context-dependent; like in all other domains of culture and in life. The beliefs, affiliations, and behaviors of any individual are complex activities that have many sources including culture. As examples of religious incongruence he notes, "Observant Jews may not believe what they say in their Sabbath prayers. Christian ministers may not believe in God. And people who regularly dance for rain don't do it in the dry season."
Demographic studies often show wide diversity of religious beliefs, belonging, and practices in both religious and non-religious populations. For instance, out of Americans who are not religious and not seeking religion: 68% believe in God, 12% are atheists, 17% are agnostics; also, in terms of self-identification of religiosity 18% consider themselves religious, 37% consider themselves as spiritual but not religious, and 42% considers themselves as neither spiritual nor religious; and 21% pray every day and 24% pray once a month. Global studies on religion also show diversity.
Components
Numerous studies have explored the different components of human religiosity (Brink, 1993; Hill & Hood 1999). What most have found is that there are multiple dimensions (they often employ factor analysis). For instance, Cornwall, Albrecht, Cunningham and Pitcher (1986) identify six dimensions of religiosity based on the understanding that there are at least three components to religious behavior: knowing (cognition in the mind), feeling (effect to the spirit), and doing (behavior of the body). For each of these components of religiosity, there were two cross classifications resulting in the six dimensions:
Cognition
traditional orthodoxy
particularistic orthodoxy
Effect
Palpable
Tangible
Behavior
religious behavior
religious participation
Other researchers have found different dimensions, ranging generally from four to twelve components. What most measures of religiosity find is that there is at least some distinction between religious doctrine, religious practice, and spirituality.
For example, one can accept the truthfulness of the Bible (belief dimension), but never attend a church or even belong to an organized religion (practice dimension). Another example is an individual who does not hold orthodox Christian doctrines (belief dimension), but does attend a charismatic worship service (practice dimension) in order to develop his/her sense of oneness with the divine (spirituality dimension).
An individual could disavow all doctrines associated with organized religions (belief dimension), not affiliate with an organized religion or attend religious services (practice dimension), and at the same time be strongly committed to a higher power and feel that the connection with that higher power is ultimately relevant (spirituality dimension). These are explanatory examples of the broadest dimensions of religiosity and may not be reflected in specific religiosity measures.
Most dimensions of religiosity are correlated, meaning people who often attend church services (practice dimension) are also likely to score highly on the belief and spirituality dimensions. But individuals do not have to score high on all dimensions or low on all dimensions; their scores can vary by dimension.
Sociologists have differed over the exact number of components of religiosity. Charles Glock's five-dimensional approach (Glock, 1972: 39) was among the first of its kind in the field of sociology of religion. Other sociologists adapted Glock's list to include additional components (see for example, a six component measure by Mervin F. Verbit).
Other factors
Genes and environment
The contributions of genes and environment to religiosity have been quantified in studies of twins (Bouchard et al., 1999; Kirk et al., 1999) and sociological studies of welfare, availability, and legal regulations (state religions, etc.).
Koenig et al. (2005) report that the contribution of genes to variation in religiosity (called heritability) increases from 12% to 44% and the contribution of shared (family) effects decreases from 56% to 18% between adolescence and adulthood.
A market-based theory of religious choice and governmental regulation of religion have been the dominant theories used to explain variations of religiosity between societies. However, Gill and Lundsgaarde (2004) documented a much stronger correlation between welfare state spending and religiosity. (see diagram)
Just-world hypothesis
Studies have found belief in a just world to be correlated with aspects of religiousness.
Risk-aversion
Several studies have discovered a positive correlation between the degree of religiousness and risk aversion.

Cadwallon is a role-playing game (RPG) published by Rackham in book form in 2006. It is set in the fantasy world of Rackham's previous game Confrontation. A tactical role-playing game, it is played with miniatures. As with most of Rackham's products, Cadwallon was originally written in French and later translated into English and Spanish.
Setting
Cadwallon is the name of the large city in which the role-playing game is set. The city was founded by a mercenary company and is reputedly free from the surrounding nations' politics which mainly concern the massive war called The Rag'narok. The city is divided in two parts; the upper city and the lower city, which are further divided into eleven fiefdoms, each with its own peer. The whole city is ruled by the Duke.
The city is built on the ruins of several different civilizations including the Cynwall and Acheron but with its foundations in some much older culture.
System
Cadwallon has a custom ruleset for generating characters. Characters are from among the races in the Confrontation universe, namely elves, dwarves, humans, goblins, orcs, ogres and wolfen. They also belong to one of the cultures which are waging war on the continent taking the form of the factions' totems. A character can also originate from Cadwallon itself being from either the Upper or lower district
Cadwallon has a custom system where pools of six-sided dice are used when determining the success of actions. An oddity in Cadwallon are the names chosen for the character attributes. Rather than utilize traits such as strength and dexterity Cadwallon uses words that are in common use other places in Confrontation fluff like Pugnacity and Style.

Franz Josef Gerstner (from 1810 Franz Josef Ritter von Gerstner, ; 23 February 1756 – 25 July 1832) was a German-Bohemian physicist, astronomer and engineer.
Life
Gerstner was born in Komotau in Bohemia then part of the Habsburg monarchy. (Today it's Chomutov in the Czech Republic). He was the son of Florian Gerstner (1730–1783) and Maria Elisabeth, born Englert. He studied at the Jesuits gymnasium in Komotau. After that he studied mathematics and astronomy at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague between 1772 and 1777. In 1781 he started to study medicine at the University of Vienna, but later decided to quit his studies. Instead, he worked as an assistant at the astronomical observatory in Vienna under supervision of Maximilian Hell. In 1784 he returned to Prague, where he got a position at the Klementinum astronomical observatory in Prague. In 1789 he became professor of higher mathematics, mechanics and hydraulics at the University in Prague.
In 1792 Gerstner married Gabriele von Mayersbach († 1808). They had nine children including Franz Anton von Gerstner (1796-1840).
In 1795 Gerstner became a member of the government commission which tried to improve higher technical education in the Austrian empire. Following his suggestion, the old engineering school in Prague () was converted by the decree of Emperor Joseph I to a polytechnic school in 1803. The new Polytechnic Institute in Prague was officially opened on Nov. 10th 1806, and Gerstner became its first director. In 1811 he was appointed by the Emperor to the position of the Director of hydraulic engineering in Bohemia.
In 1823, due to an illness, he was forced to stop his classes at the University. Gerstner died and was buried in Mladějov, Bohemia, in 1832.
Work
From his works the most influential was Handbook of mechanics (). This fundamental text-book was published in three volumes (1831, 1832 and 1834), with more than 1400 subscribers.
In 1804 Gerstner published a pioneering work Theory of water waves. The so-called Gerstner wave is the trochoidal wave solution for periodic water waves – the first correct and nonlinear theory of water waves in deep water, appearing even before the first correct linearised theory.
His work focused on applied mechanics, hydrodynamics and river transportation. He helped to build the first iron works and first steam engine in Bohemia.
In 1807, he proposed the construction of a horse-drawn railway between the Austrian Empire towns of České Budějovice () and Linz, one of the first railways on the European continent. The construction of this railway was started in summer 1825 by his son Franz Anton (Ritter) von Gerstner (1796, Prague - 1840, Philadelphia). The regular transport between České Budějovice and Linz started on August 1, 1832.
Honors
Between 1802 and 1803, Gerstner served as a chairman of the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences.
In 1808, he received the Imperial Order of Leopold.
In 1810, Gerstner was elevated to the nobility as Ritter von Gerstner.
Legacy
The polytechnic school founded by Gerstner exists till today as the Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT).
The institute for artificial intelligence and cybernetics research at ČVUT bears the name Gerstner Laboratory.

The Architecture of Buffalo, New York, particularly the buildings constructed between the American Civil War and the Great Depression, is said to have created a new, distinctly American form of architecture and to have influenced design throughout the world.
History
Buffalo's original plan from the early 19th century was loosely based on Pierre Charles L'Enfant's 1791 plan for Washington, an Americanized version of Paris's system of radiating boulevards. Buffalo's radial street grid was designed by Joseph Ellicott and complemented by a system of parks and parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Buffalo was the first city for which Olmsted designed an interconnected park and parkway system rather than stand-alone parks.
During the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Frederick Law Olmsted declared Buffalo to be "the best planned city, as to its streets, public places, and grounds, in the United States, if not in the world."
According to The New York Times architecture writer Nicolai Ourousoff:
Buffalo was founded on a rich tradition of architectural experimentation. The architects who worked here were among the first to break with European traditions to create an aesthetic of their own, rooted in American ideals about individualism, commerce and social mobility.
The city contains buildings designed by American architecture masters like Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and H.H. Richardson, making Buffalo one of the most architecturally significant cities in America. It also contains many buildings designed by modern architects including Minoru Yamasaki, Toshiko Mori, Marcel Breuer and Harrison & Abramovitz.

Landmarks, monuments and public places
Albright–Knox Art Gallery
The Albright–Knox Art Gallery was designed in 1890 architect Edward Brodhead Green and funded by Buffalo entrepreneur and philanthropist, John J. Albright, a wealthy Buffalo industrialist. It was originally intended to be used as the Fine Arts Pavilion for the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, but delays in its construction caused it to remain uncompleted until 1905. In 1962, a new addition was made to the gallery through the contributions of Seymour H. Knox, Jr. and his family, and many other donors. At this time the museum was renamed the Albright–Knox Art Gallery. The new building was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill architect Gordon Bunshaft, who is noted for the Lever House in New York City. The Albright–Knox Art Gallery is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Buffalo Central Terminal
The Buffalo Central Terminal is a 17-story Art Deco style station designed by architects Fellheimer & Wagner and built in 1929 for the New York Central Railroad. The terminal "was built to handle over 200 trains and 10,000 passengers daily, as well as 1,500 New York Central employees. It included shops, a restaurant, soda fountain, parking garage and all other services required for daily passenger operations." It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 7, 1984.
Buffalo City Court Building
The Buffalo City Court Building is named Frank A. Sedita City Court (for Buffalo mayor Frank A. Sedita), and designed by Pfohl, Roberts and Biggie. It is a 10-story court house built in 1974 and located in Niagara Square and adjacent to Buffalo City Hall. The structure is a classic example of Brutalist architecture; its façade is dominated by large Precast concrete panels with narrow windows. The design was conceived with limited windows in order to keep the courtrooms and judges' chambers free from outside distraction.
Buffalo City Hall
Buffalo City Hall is a 32-story Art Deco building and was completed in 1931 by Dietel, Wade & Jones. Its walls are faced with Ohio sandstone and gray Minnesota limestone, above a base of gray granite. The exterior and interior are adorned with symbolic figures and decorations representing Buffalo's history, including the Iroquois Indians, the steel industry, law and education, electrical energy, and the waterfront community. In the lobby, there are four statues, "each which represent the characteristic of good citizenship, Virtue, Diligence, Service, and Fidelity." It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 1999.
Buffalo History Museum
The Buffalo History Museum was constructed in 1901 as the New York State pavilion for the Pan-American Exposition of 1901 and is the sole surviving permanent structure from the exposition. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1980, and designated a National Historic Landmark on February 27, 1987.
Buffalo Main Light
The Buffalo Main Light, also known as The Buffalo Lighthouse, is Buffalo's oldest building. It was built in 1833 and deactivated in 1914. It appears on the city seal at the mouth of the Buffalo River. It is also one of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes. The walls of the tapered, unpainted octagonal limestone tower are four feet thick at the base and rise to 44 feet in height. The foundation material was stone molehead and the lighthouse was constructed out of limestone and cast iron. The shape of the tower was octagonal and was high. The lens installed in 1857 was a third order Fresnel lens. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Delaware Park System
The Delaware Park System is a historic park system and national historic district located in the northern and western sections of Buffalo. The park system was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and developed between 1868 and 1876. The Park System comprises many parks, Delaware Park being the largest (encompassing 376 acres). There are also Gates Circle, Chapin Parkway, Soldier's Place, Lincoln Parkway, Bidwell Parkway, and Front Park, among others. The park system was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Larkin Administration Building
The Larkin Administration Building was Frank Lloyd Wright's first commission in Buffalo. Larkin executive Darwin D. Martin hired Wright to design a building that would house the large number of clerks needed to operate the mail-order business for the Larkin Soap Company. Because the building would be located in an industrial part of town, it was necessary to make the building as attractive as possible to women, who made up the bulk of the white collar work force.
The Larkin building was Wright's first commercial commission and he designed not just the building, but also the furniture, light fixtures and the china for the workers' cafeteria. Where possible, files and furniture were built into the structure, and he created desks with attached chairs that could swivel to save room. Wright included a pipe organ for lunchtime entertainment, a lending library and a conservatory to allow employees to rest and commune with nature. The Larkin Administration Building is significant for its comprehensive design, where every element performed a specific task, as well as being the first modern office building that separated blue-collar and white-collar workers.
The Larkin Company went out of business in 1937, and the building was sold. Eventually, the City of Buffalo took it over for back taxes planning to demolish it for a trucking plaza. Despite community outcry, the building was torn down in 1950.
Old Post Office
The Old Post Office is a historic post office building located at 121 Ellicott Street in Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It was designed by the then Office of the Supervising Architect, Jeremiah O'Rourke, when construction started in 1897. The $1.5 million () building opened in 1901 during the tenure of James Knox Taylor and operated as Buffalo's central post office until 1963 and was the tallest building in the city from 1901 to 1912. The highly ornamented Gothic Revival style four-story building features a 244-foot tower over the central entrance and a roofed courtyard. It was subsequently occupied by federal offices. Since 1981, it has been home to the city campus of Erie Community College. Its tower is 74.4 meters tall.
Prudential (Guaranty) Building
The Prudential (Guaranty) Building was completed in 1896 and was designed by Chicago architect's Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler. It remains one of the first skyscrapers ever built with a steel structure and is embellished with terra cotta blocks. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark on May 15, 1975.
Richardson Olmsted Complex
The Richardson Olmsted Complex is a grouping of Medina red sandstone and brick hospital buildings designed in 1870 in the Kirkbride Plan by architect Henry Hobson Richardson with grounds by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The complex was the largest commission of Richardson's career and marks the beginning of his characteristic "Romanesque Revival" style known as "Richardsonian Romanesque." It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark on June 24, 1986.
Sculptures and monuments
There are several sculptures and monuments located throughout the city, including:
Michelangelo's David by Angelus and Sons (founder)
Soldiers and Sailors Monument (Civil War Monument) by Caspar Bubert (Sculptor), George W. Keller (Architect), M.J. Powers (Founder)

Residential
Birge-Horton House
The Birge-Horton House was designed in 1895 by the Buffalo architectural firm of Green and Wicks and is a Georgian Revival style row house in "The Midway" section of Delaware Avenue. It is a four-story brick house with stone trim. The house is situated within the boundaries of the Allentown Historic District. The Birge-Horton House was the last of the thirteen luxury row houses built from 1893–1895. All were four-story houses, and each house is the work of varying architects and of different designs; however, they give an overall appearance of unified composition because of similarities in height, width, and construction materials.
Charles W. Goodyear House
The Charles W. Goodyear House was designed by Buffalo architect Edward Green, of the Buffalo architecture firm Green & Wicks, and was completed in 1903 at a cost of $500,000 (). The home was built for Charles and Ella Goodyear. The house is located in the Delaware Avenue Historic District, a federally designated historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974. The exterior of the -story house is brick trimmed with stone. The mansard roof includes a row of dormers with pedimented tops with a festooned motif that runs along the roofline above a dentilled cornice. The principal entrance is on the north (right) side of the house denoted by a large arched doorway, bordered on each side by stone urns. The east façade facing Delaware Avenue has a one-story porch with columns, that was later bricked in.
Darwin D. Martin House
The Darwin D. Martin House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built between 1903 and 1905 for Darwin D. Martin, an executive of the Larkin Soap Company. Martin chose Wright to design his own house because he was so impressed with Wright and his design for the Larkin Administration Building. The Martin House is considered to be one of the most important projects from Wright's Prairie School era. Compared to other Prairie Houses, the Martin House is unusually large and has an open plan containing 15 distinctive patterns of nearly 400 art glass windows, designed by Wright, some of which contain over 750 individual pieces of iridescent glass, that act as light screens to connect exterior views to the spaces within. More patterns of art glass were designed for the house than for any other of Wright's Prairie Houses. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1986, and designated a National Historic Landmark, also on February 24, 1986.

The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site, also known as the Ansley Wilcox House, at 641 Delaware Avenue was built in 1840 by George Cary (U.S. Army) originally intended as the Barrack's officer's quarters. After the post was disbanded in 1845, the home reverted to a private residence. Subsequent owners continued to modify the structure adding and demolishing out structures and additions. In the late 19th century, Dexter Rumsey gave the property to his son-in-law Ansley Wilcox and his wife Mary Grace Rumsey. The newest inhabitants made extensive renovations to the structure.
In 1901, while attending the Pan-American Exposition, anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot President William McKinley. Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt rushed back to Buffalo, but arrived only after McKinley had died. Due to the tragic and politically charged circumstances of the President's death, the inauguration was held immediately, and the most appropriate site was determined to be the Wilcox home. Approximately 50 dignitaries, family members and cabinet officials gathered in the front library for the inauguration and Federal Judge John R. Hazel administered the oath. The Wilcoxes continued to live in the home until their deaths in the 1930s. The National Historic Site was authorized on November 2, 1966. As a historic area administered by the National Park Service, it was automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places the same day.
William Dorsheimer House
The William Dorsheimer House was designed and built in 1868 by Henry Hobson Richardson (1838–1886) for William Dorsheimer (1832–1888), a prominent local lawyer and Lieutenant Governor of New York. It is located on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo and is a -story brick dwelling. It represents the profound influence of French ideas on the arts in the post Civil War period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
William R. Heath House
The William R. Heath House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, built in 1904–1905, and is located at 76 Soldiers Place in Buffalo, New York. It is built in the Prairie School architectural style. William Heath was a lawyer who served as office manager, and eventually vice-president, of the Larkin Company in Buffalo. Heath's wife Mary was a sister of Elbert Hubbard, a former Larkin executive. The property was a deep and narrow corner lot, facing a large traffic circle. This presented Wright with the problem of situating a substantial Prairie house, with its characteristically open structure, in a confined space with twice the street exposure. The house was placed with its long axis right up against the Bird Ave. sidewalk with sections of the traffic circle acting as the grounds that a house of this standing would normally possess.

Professor Shimon Shetreet (, born 1 March 1946) is a former Israeli politician who held several ministerial portfolios between 1992 and 1996. He is currently the Greenblatt Chair of Public and International Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Early life
Born in Erfoud in Morocco, Shetreet's family made aliyah to Israel in 1949 when he was three years old. He attended a religious elementary school, before studying at a yeshiva, winning the International Bible Contest at the age of 13. He went on to study law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, gaining an LLB in 1968 and LLM in 1970. He then went on to the University of Chicago, where he gained an LLD in 1973.
Legal career
Shetreet began working as a clerk to Supreme Court judge Alfred Witkon in 1967, and was admitted to the Bar Association in 1969. In 1980 he was a member of the commission on the Israeli Court System, and was involved in founding the Public Law Association in 1987.
Political career
In 1988 Shetreet was elected to the Knesset on the Alignment list. After being re-elected in 1992 (by which time the Alignment had merged into the Labor Party), Shetreet was appointed Minister of Economics and Planning and Minister of Science and Technology in Yitzhak Rabin's government. He lost the latter portfolio in June 1993 when it was given to Shulamit Aloni, but also became Minister of Religious Affairs in February 1992. When Shimon Peres formed a new government following the assassination of Rabin, he remained Minister of Religious Affairs, but lost the Economics and Planning portfolio.
In the 1996 elections Shetreet lost his seat and his place in the cabinet. He was the One Israel candidate in the 1998 Jerusalem mayoral election, but lost to Ehud Olmert, finishing second with 23% of the vote. In 1999 he was chosen to be deputy mayor of Jerusalem, a post he held until 2003.
On 7 September 2020, Shetreet announced that he would run in the 2021 presidential election.
Academic career
Shetreet returned to the Hebrew University to work as a professor of law. He currently heads the Sacher Institute of Legislative Research and Comparative Law, as well as holding the Greenblatt chair. He has also served as a visiting professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Tulane University and the University of San Diego.

The American Revolutionary War inflicted great financial costs on all of the combatants, including the United States, France, Spain and the Kingdom of Great Britain. France and Great Britain spent 1.3 billion livres and 250 million pounds, respectively. The United States spent $400 million in wages for its troops. Spain increased its military spending from 454 million reales in 1778 to over 700 million reales in 1781.
Economic warfare and financing
Initial boycotts
The economic warfare between Great Britain and the colonists began well before the colonies declared their independence in 1776. Regulations from the crown were met with fierce opposition from the colonists. After lobbies and petitions proved ineffective, the colonists turned to boycotting imported English goods. Boycotting proved to be successful in crippling British trade. After the first colonial boycott in 1765, Parliament overturned the Sugar and Stamp Acts, and after a second boycott in 1768 Parliament overturned all of the Townshend duties except for the tax on tea. The colonists persisted, and the American boycott of tea ultimately culminated in the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Despite the Revolution's widespread association with the colonists' aversion to higher taxes, it has been claimed that the colonists actually paid far less tax compared to their British counterparts.
British isolation tactics
British efforts to weaken the colonies included isolating their economy from the rest of the world by cutting off trade. With a navy that was many times more powerful than its American counterpart, the British had complete control over the American ports. The British took control of major port cities along the colonial east coast, and as a result, British warships were able to drastically reduce the number of ships that could successfully travel from the colonies. Consequently, the U.S. saw a fall in exported goods due to the relentless British blockade. Furthermore, Britain's naval strength was great enough to intimidate other nations and scare them away from exporting goods to the colonies, so smuggled and inexpensive imports became costly and rare.
The American response
The Continental Army under the direction of George Washington sought to engage in a war of attrition. Because the fight was on colonial soil, Washington aimed to take advantage of the lack of trade with Great Britain by cutting them off from necessary resources, hoping that eventually, the redcoat army in North America would grow sick and tired. Under the Articles of Confederation, however, the Continental Congress did not have the power to impose taxes or regulate commerce in the colonies, and thus could not generate sufficient funds for a war of attrition.
To solve this problem, the Continental Congress sent diplomats including Benjamin Franklin to Europe in search of foreign support for the American cause. For the first two years of the war, the colonists received secretive private and public loans from the French, who held a lingering resentment for the British after the Seven Years' War. After the British defeat at Saratoga, however, foreign support for the Continental Army increased, and in 1778 the colonies signed a treaty with France, officially bringing them into the war with Great Britain. By the end of the war, the colonies had received loans from several different European nations, including a significant contribution from France, Spain and the Netherlands. In addition, the colonies received much private funding, most notably from the Marquis de Lafayette and the Baron of Kalb, both Frenchmen. This funding ultimately enabled them to fight the war of attrition that General Washington hoped for.
Effect on Great Britain
Because the French possessed a powerful navy, their entrance into the war weakened the British blockade on colonial ports and further cut off the British army from its Atlantic supply route. The British forces recognized that they would not last long without shipping in supplies, so in retaliation, the British redeployed some of their forces to the French Caribbean. Their hope was to capture French sugar islands and cut the French financial supply line. The new war in the Caribbean added to Britain's already large financial costs, yet unlike the colonies, the British were not successful in their attempts to garner foreign loans or armaments. Without economic assistance from other nations, the financial strain on Parliament and British taxpayers became increasingly burdensome and ultimately had a hand in wearing down the British forces and ending the war for independence.
American financing
As the war progressed, the Americans’ deteriorating financial stability quickly became Britain’s greatest asset. Because it did not possess the power to tax the colonists, the Continental Congress printed money at a rapid rate to fund the army’s expenses and pay off its loans from foreign nations. As a result, the colonies experienced severe inflation and depreciation of the Continental dollar. The colonists also had great difficulty in financing a wartime effort against the British southern campaign, not effectively halting the British destruction until the battle of Yorktown in 1781. When the war ended in 1783, American negotiations, monetary policies, and government restructuring all contributed to paying off the American national debt.
Belligerents
United States
The thirteen American states flourished economically at the beginning of the war. The colonies could trade freely with the West Indies and other European nations, instead of just Britain. Due to the abolition of the British Navigation Acts, American merchants could now transport their goods in European and American ships rather than only British ships. British taxes on expensive wares such as tea, glass, lead, and paper were forfeited, and other taxes became cheaper. Plus, American privateering raids on British merchant ships provided more wealth for the Continental Army.
As the war went on, however, America's economic prosperity began to fall. British warships began to prey on American shipping, and the increasing upkeep costs of the Continental Army meant that wealth from merchant ships decreased. As cash flow declined, the United States of America had to rely on European loans to maintain the war effort; France, Spain and the Netherlands lent the United States over $10 million during the war, causing major debt problems for the fledgling nation. Coin circulation had also begun to wane. Because of this, the United States began to print paper money and bills of credit to raise income. This proved unsuccessful, inflation skyrocketed, and the new paper money's value diminished. A popular saying circulated in the colonies because of this: anything of little value became "not worth a continental."
According to a 2010 Congressional Research Service report on the "Costs of Major U.S. Wars", the Revolution cost the United States the 2011 equivalent of $2.4 billion.
Great Britain
The American Revolutionary War took a heavy toll on Great Britain. The average cost for the war was £12 million a year equivalent to 1.75 billion in 2018 terms 147 times inflation. The UK spent 80 million on the war. When the war ended Britain had a national debt of £250 million (36,570 billion in 2018 about 20 pounds debt per capita vs. 11 pounds per capita average income) which generated a yearly interest of over £9.5 million (3.8 percent).
This debt was piled on to the already outstanding debt from the Seven Years' War 73 million in 1755 to 137 million in 1763. Servicing the debt cost 5 million annually when government revenue was 8 million. gobbling up 60% of the budgets in some of the years during the 1760s (relief from this burden is the main reason why Parliament wanted the Americans to pay for 7,500 troops to be permanently stationed in the Colonies from taxes levied on the them): this only seemed fair since the British taxpayer was paying an average of 26 shillings a year during the Seven Years War while the Americans were paying one shilling The Treasury estimated the cost at 225,000 pounds but it was actually averaged 384,000 between 1763 and 1775 (about 5 shillings per annum per European settler (2 million) in 1775 in the Colonies and earlier. The Colonials, Whigs and Tories and neutrals, balked at these revenue-raising measures as an attack on traditional local autonomy.
Taxes on the British population increased during the war years, 1776–1783, and duties on some items such as glass and lead were also added, the average tax for the British public being four shillings in every pound (20 percent). Furthermore, the Royal Navy was not able to 'rule the waves' as it had done in the Seven Years' War.
Great Britain's trade with the thirteen American colonies fell apart once the American Revolution started, causing British businessmen, especially from the tobacco industry, to suffer. Income from the sale of woolen and metal products dropped sharply and export markets dried up. British merchant sailors also felt the pinch: it is estimated that 3,386 British merchant ships were seized by enemy forces during the war. However, Royal Navy warships did make up these losses somewhat, due to their own privateering efforts on enemy shipping, particularly Spanish and French merchant ships.
France
During the war, France shouldered a financial burden similar to that of Great Britain, as debt from the American Revolutionary War was piled upon already existing debts from the Seven Years' War. The French spent 1.3 billion livres on war costs equivalent to 100 million pounds sterling (at 13 livres to the pound). After the war ended, France had a debt of 3,315.1 million livres, a colossal sum of money at the time which put an enormous strain on the country's total fortune in terms of usable assets and productive capacity. The French tax collection system was highly inefficient. Large sums were lost to the Treasury. Indirect taxes were farmed out to private syndicates which made a sweet profit. In 1780 tax revenue was 585 million livres (43 million pounds) and the deficit was 25 million (3.3 million). Debt service was 43% of the budget (251 million livres = 18.8 million pounds). In 1788 this had grown to more than 50 million which provoked a crisis in Europe's most populous nation (not counting Russia) with a population almost 3 times that of Great Britain's, 9 million vs. 28 million.
The debt caused major economic and political problems for France, and, as the country struggled to pay its debts, eventually led to the Financial Crisis of 1786 and the French Revolution in 1789.
Spain
Spain's economic losses were not as great as those of the other belligerents in the American Revolutionary War. This was because Spain paid off her debts quickly and efficiently. However, Spain had nearly doubled her military spending during the war, from 454 million reales in 1778 to over 700 million reales in 1779. Spain's revenue loss was similar to Britain's since she lost a lot of income from her American colonies due to the war. To make up for the shortfall, Spanish governors introduced higher tax rates in the South American colonies, with little success. Spain's next move was to issue royal bonds to her colonies, also with limited success. Finally, in 1782 the first national bank of Spain – the Banco Nacional de San Carlos – was created to improve and centralize monetary policies.
Inflation
By 1780, the United States Congress had issued over $400 million in paper money to troops. Eventually, Congress tried to stop inflation by imposing economic reforms. These failed, and only further devalued the American currency. There is, however, some disagreement over the amount of currency issued. Between 1775 and 1783 the colonies experienced an average annual inflation rate of approximately 4.3%. The rate of inflation peaked at 29.78% in 1778. Numerous food riots were recorded as discontent grew over rapidly rising prices. The destruction of property and the continued issuing of Continentals by the Congress was another cause of currency devaluation. In addition, counterfeiting of American dollars was carried out by the British Government as an intentional means of sabotaging the war effort.
Late in the war, Congress asked individual colonies to equip their own troops and pay upkeep for their own soldiers in the Continental Army. When the war ended, the United States had spent $37 million at the national level and $114 million at the state level. The United States finally solved its debt problems in the 1790s when Alexander Hamilton founded the First Bank of the United States in order to pay off war debts and establish good national credit.

Zapato 3 is a Venezuelan alternative-rock band, active 1980–2000. It was formed by brothers Álvaro Segura (guitar and choirs) and Carlos Segura (vocalist).
Overview
The original members included Javier Avellaneda (leading voice), Fernando Batoni (bass), Pedro Romero (guitar), and Ernesto Rodríguez (drums). The final iteration of the group was Carlos Segura (vocals, coros, percussion), Cesar Domínguez (drums), Jaime Verdaguer (fender rhodes), Fernando Batoni (guitar), Jesús Piñango (tambourine), Hilda Carmona, Álvaro Segura (coros), Korg Synthesizer (keyboards, guitar), Manuel Barrios (saxophone), Diego Marquez (mixing), Mauricio Arcas (percussion), and Juan Bautista López (coros, vocals, guitar).
Zapato 3 was founded in early 1984 by a group of students from Santiago de León de Caracas High School, got together to form what would be the first generation of the band; later on, Ingrid Dreissing entered the band to sing lead vocals. Consecutively, Ernesto Rodríguez left the band opening the doors for José Félix Avellaneda to take over drums. Some rumors suggested that Rodríguez had left the band due to a conflict with Dreissing; Dreissing left the band not long after, leaving the band without a lead vocalist.
Finally, Javier Avellaneda decided to take over the role of leading voice of the band. As this is considered somewhat a lengthy beginning in the band it is also obvious the different musical approaches and influences in the group itself. It was a good opportunity to define the genre they would develop themselves into. During the changes of vocal members, it was obvious the punk influence they were under, Eventually, new changes brought Diego Marquez in the drums -who would later on be replaced by Mauricio Cepeda- at this point they were a more social-oriented- lyrics band. The last significant change in the members of the band before reaching somewhat some members stability was the addition to the group in 1988 of Jorge Ramirez in the guitars later on substituted by Álvaro Segura. Pass this point the group had advertised themselves as a three men band, formed by Fernando Batoni (bass), Javier Avellaneda (voice) and Álvaro Segura (guitars). They decided to function without a steady drummer by using an electronic drum kit. Changes were not over: by late 1988, Javier Avellaneda left the band to have Carlos Segura take over the vocal role and announced the re-incorporation of Diego Márquez in the drums. After this change, it was obvious the band had already lost some of the underground following that had developed in the local scene. Nevertheless this was by far the most stable point of the group in terms of band members.
By 1989, Zapato 3 was on its way to becoming a national musical success. Its style had gone from punk to social-oriented to a much cleaner rock with some sexual lyrics. By then their first album "Amor, Furia y Languidez" (1990) was finally edited which would include tunes that would become some of the most characteristics of the band.
The band became nationally recognized by opening the stage for more rounded groups in several concerts across the country, one of the most remembered was the opening to Soda Stereo in their 1990 Caracas concert during the acclaimed Gira Animal.
Their second album "Bésame y Suicídate" (1991) consolidated Zapato 3, giving them some international projection. By 1994 their new release "Separación" brought new changes with Diego Marquez leaving the band, being substituted by Rafael Cadavieco and also the incorporation of Jaime Verdague in keyboards. Not only they changed band members but also style, becoming more of techno group. This consistency kept on until the release of their 1995 album "Cápsula Para Volar" but for the following album "Ecos Punzantes del Ayer" (1999) Rafael Cadavieco left the band to give a chance to César Domínguez in the drums. By 1995 the band had already gone all over Venezuela, have had over five concerts in Mexico and by 1997 had played in cities like Miami with bands like Soda Stereo, Aterciopelados, La Unión, and other Venezuelan bands, such as, Desorden Público, Sentimiento Muerto, Caramelos de Cianuro, La Misma Gente, Seguridad Nacional, Aditus, Radio Clip, and Feedback. In 1999 the group's biography was edited, written by Eugenio Miranda by the title: "Zapato 3: Una Fantastica Historia de Amor y Aventura", some of their CDs can be found in websites such as eBay, Amazon.com, CD Now, Universe.com, among others. The band's rupture came after their 1999 release of "Ecos Punzantes del Ayer"
Reunion
In 2009, a countdown ending on 10/10/10 appeared on the group's official website. In an interview conducted that day, October 10, 2010, on the radio station La Mega 107.3 FM during the Fabricado Acá show, Fernando Batoni, Rafael Cadavieco, Diego Márquez, Álvaro Segura and Jaime Verdaguer announced that they had indeed a tour planned for those dates, but that the proposal that was made in the end did not convince. However, they did not close the possibility of a return. "The conditions just have to be met," said Batoni, who took up the floor for the first time in ten years with the Segura brothers in that interview, the same night that their first meeting would have taken place.
A year later, keyboardist Jaime Verdaguer announced the "unavoidable return" through the band's official Twitter, confirming the negotiations on a national tour for 2012. Days after the announcement made by Jaime Verdaguer through Twitter, on October 16, 2011, in the middle of a live presentation of Solares (band where Carlos and Álvaro Segura and Jaime Verdaguer play) at the Motorland Festival in Valencia, they invited Fernando Batoni took the stage to play some of the greatest hits of Zapato 3 and they promised an official reunion for the following year.
The return to the stage of Zapato 3 took place on March 24, 2012, during the celebration of the 107th anniversary of the Maracay Fairs and after some twelve years of the dissolution. The band was made up of the Segura brothers, Fernando Batoni, Jaime Verdaguer and Diego Márquez. As a result of the great success of the concert, they confirmed through the official page and the Facebook and Twitter accounts the national tour called The Last Crusade , started on July 13 in Maracaibo.
