Neurocordulia yamaskanensis, the Stygian shadowdragon, is a dragonfly found in the eastern United States and southern Canada. It was discovered in Quebec in 1875 by naturalist Léon Abel Provancher. Like other dragonflies of the genus Neurocordulia, this species has the unusual characteristic of being crepuscular in habit, meaning that they are only active for a short period of time during dawn and at dusk. This limited activity period means that this species and other members of the genus are rarely seen by the casual observer. They may occasionally fly during very overcast days, but usually spend their days roosting in treetops and bushes near the shoreline of the streams, rivers and lakes which they patrol during their active hours. The Stygian shadowdragon's range includes much of the mid-Atlantic US states and extends northward into southern Canada and south to the Mason–Dixon line. It is one of the larger members of the shadowdragon genus, at about 2 inches long. Their fairly clear wings have a large brown spot at the bases, which can help differentiate them from other shadowdragons. Because of its short activity period, less is known about its life cycle than many other dragonflies. The nymphs probably live in the stream beds which this species inhabits for a year or more before they crawl out onto rocks or trees along the stream or river where the adults emerge from their exoskeletons and take flight. This species is seen mostly during the month of June throughout its range. References Corduliidae Insects described in 1875 IUCN Red List least concern species
Denver Technological Center, better known as The Denver Tech Center or DTC, is a business and economic trading center located in Colorado in the southeastern portion of the Denver Metropolitan Area, within portions of the cities of Denver and Greenwood Village. It is home to several major businesses and corporations. The DTC roughly corresponds to the area surrounding the I-25 corridor between I-225 and SH 88 (Arapahoe Road) and has a similar business community reputation to Irvine, California. History The DTC was established in the early 1970s. Cable companies United Cablevision, United Artists Cable, and later AT&T Broadband, all had their start in - and still have major infrastructure around - the Denver Tech Center. In the Colorado area, Bill Daniels and John C. Malone were early adopters who shepherded many standards in cable technology still used today. The Denver Tech Center was designed by architect/planner Carl A. Worthington. In the early 1970s, investors asked Worthington to complete a conceptual master plan along a new fiber optic line south of downtown Denver. The master plan started with forty acres, with potential for an additional 800 acres. The plan has since grown to 850 acres, and over 25 million square feet of buildings have been completed. The area's progress was a major reason for Denver Regional Council of Governments's T-REX expansion into the Denver Tech Center, which built new light rail lines connecting the Denver Tech Center to downtown Denver.

Dragnet is an American radio, television and film series, following the exploits of dedicated Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Detective Joe Friday and his partners, created by actor and producer Jack Webb. The show took its name from the police term "dragnet", a term for a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects. Dragnet is perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural crime drama in American media history. The series portrayed police work as dangerous and heroic, and helped shape public perception of law enforcement in the 20th century. Dragnet earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers. Webb's aims in Dragnet were for realism and unpretentious acting. Dragnet remains a key influence on subsequent police dramas in many media. The show's cultural impact is such that seven decades after its debut, elements of Dragnet are familiar to those who have never seen or heard the program: "Danger Ahead", the ominous, instantly recognizable four-note introduction to the brass and timpani theme music (though its origins date to Miklós Rózsa's score for the 1946 film version of The Killers). The show's opening narration: "Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent." Over time, the "only" and "ladies and gentlemen" were eventually dropped, and the television version replaced "hear" with "see". Radio Dragnet began as a radio series, running on the NBC radio network from 1949 to 1957. Television 1951–1959 original In 1951, Dragnet shifted to the field of television, running on NBC from 1951 to 1959. Most early episodes of the television series were dubbed or lip-synced adaptations of episodes of the radio show, but later episodes were original plotlines. Most of the cast members were veteran radio actors who could be relied upon to read the matter-of-fact dialogue naturally. 1967–1970 revival Webb relaunched Dragnet in 1966, with NBC once again chosen to air the series. He tried to persuade Ben Alexander to rejoin him as Frank Smith. Alexander was then committed to an ABC police series, Felony Squad, and the producers would not release him. Webb reluctantly came up with a new character to take the role of Joe Friday's partner, calling upon his longtime friend Harry Morgan to play Officer Bill Gannon. Morgan had previously portrayed rooming-house proprietor Luther Gage in the 1949 radio series episode "James Vickers". George Fenneman returned as the show's primary announcer, with John Stephenson replacing Hal Gibney in the role of announcing the trial dates and subsequent punishments for the offenders. Fenneman replaced Stephenson in that role during the fourth season. Unlike the previous Dragnet series, the revival was produced and aired in color. It stands as one of the earliest American examples of a discontinued TV series being revived years later with original cast members; recent examples have included revivals of Law & Order and The X-Files. Webb produced a TV movie pilot for the new version of the show for Universal Television, although the pilot was not aired until January 1969. NBC bought the show on the strength of the movie, and it debuted as a midseason replacement for the sitcom The Hero on Thursday nights in January 1967. To distinguish it from the original, the year was included in the title of the show (i.e., Dragnet 1967). Although Friday had been promoted to lieutenant in the final episode of the 1950s production, Webb chose to have Friday revert to sergeant with his familiar badge, "714". When real-life LAPD Sergeant Dan Cooke, Webb's contact in the department during production of the revived Dragnet series, was promoted to lieutenant, he arranged to carry the same lieutenant's badge, number 714, as worn by Joe Friday. Cooke was technical advisor to the KNBC documentary Police Unit 2A-26, directed by John Orland. He brought that to the attention of Webb, who hired Orland to direct and film This is the City, a series of minidocumentaries about Los Angeles that preceded most TV episodes during the 1969 and 1970 seasons. The show had good ratings on NBC's schedule for four seasons (although its popularity at that time did not exceed that of the 1950s version), but the show was canceled after the completion of the 1969-1970 season. Much as was done 11 years earlier, Webb decided voluntarily to discontinue Dragnet after its fourth season to focus on producing and directing his other projects through Mark VII Limited. The first of these projects was titled Adam-12, a 30-minute police procedural similar to Dragnet, but focusing on patrol officers rather than detectives. The series premiered in the fall of 1968, while Dragnet 1969 was in production, and ran for seven seasons, coming to an end in 1975. In 1971, with producer Robert A. Cinader, Webb developed another pilot originally intended to be centered around the staff of a Los Angeles–area medical center's emergency room. When researching for the pilot, Webb and Cinader were introduced to the Los Angeles County Fire Department's fledgling paramedic program, and the premise was reworked to include the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and Emergency! was born; running as a weekly series until 1977, and as a series of made-for-television movies for two years after that. Emergency! was centered on the then-fictitious Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedic rescue unit, Squad 51. During the early 1970s, reruns of this version of Dragnet were popular on local stations, usually broadcast during the late afternoon or early evenings. From 1991 to 1995, Dragnet was shown on Nick at Nite, then moved to its sister cable channel TV Land. From October 1, 2011, to April 26, 2013, the series ran daily on the digital cable channel Antenna TV, and before that, the show aired on the Retro Television Network. Dragnet was broadcast Monday through Friday on Me-TV. The show was part of the "CriMe TV" morning block with Perry Mason and The Rockford Files, with Dragnet shown back to back from 11:00 am until 12:00 pm. In December 2014, Me-TV added a third airing of Dragnet to its late-night lineup; the series airs at 12:30 am following a second episode of Perry Mason. Me-TV ended the run of Dragnet on January 1, 2015, whereupon it became part of Cozi TV's regular lineup. In January 2020 Dragnet returned to MeTV along with its sibling series Adam-12 after Cozi TV dropped both series; Dragnet currently broadcasts two episodes weekday mornings from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m. Webb's later years In 1982, Webb had begun working on a revival of Dragnet, writing and producing five scripts and continuing his role as Joe Friday. Once again, he needed to create a new character for Friday's partner; Ben Alexander had died in 1969 and Harry Morgan was tied up with his commitments to MAS*H, and its already greenlit followup AfterMASH. Webb decided on former Adam-12 star Kent McCord who had several guest appearances early in the 1967 revival series, to fill the undefined role. No indication was given whether McCord would be playing his character of Jim Reed from Adam-12 or a totally new character. On December 23, 1982, Jack Webb died unexpectedly from a heart attack and the Dragnet revival was scrapped. After Webb's death, LAPD Chief Daryl Gates announced that badge number 714—Webb's number on the television show—was retired, and Los Angeles city offices lowered their flags to half staff. At Webb's funeral, the LAPD provided an honor guard, and the chief of police commented on Webb's connection with the LAPD. An LAPD auditorium was named in his honor. Jack Webb's LAPD sergeant's badge and ID card are on display at the Los Angeles Police Academy. Film versions Dragnet (1954) In 1954, a theatrical feature film titled Dragnet, an adaptation of the series, was released with Webb, Alexander, and Richard Boone. Dennis Weaver plays R. A. Lohrman, a detective captain. The film begins with the shooting of small-time hood Miller Starkie (Dub Taylor) on orders from his boss, Max Troy (Stacy Harris). Friday and Smith's superior is LAPD Intelligence Division Captain Jim Hamilton (Boone), a department member and the film's technical advisor. The Intelligence Division focused on the pursuit of organized-crime figures, and some of Max Troy's habits resemble that of Mickey Cohen, the known Los Angeles underworld boss; for example, Troy's LAPD file reads that he could be found at "Sunset Strip taverns and joints", as could Cohen. The film depicts the working relationship between the LAPD and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office; Friday and Smith work to gather evidence that the DA's office deems sufficient to gain the indictment and ultimate conviction of Troy and his fellows. One scene contains a violent fist-fight involving the two detectives, with the close-up cinematic technique typical of Webb's style of direction. The movie's ending represents a departure from most Dragnet stories; no arrest is made at the story's conclusion. Chester Davitt (Willard Sage), Troy's underling and Starkie's killer, is killed by underworld figures, and Troy succumbs to cancer before the detectives, having gathered sufficient evidence against him, can make the arrest. The film earned an estimated $4.7 million at the North American box office during its first year of release. Dragnet 1966 (aired 1969) Dragnet 1966 is a made-for-TV movie that initiated the return of the Dragnet series to television. It was produced as the TV pilot for Dragnet 1967, but was not broadcast until 1969. The movie stars Jack Webb as Sgt. Friday and Harry Morgan as Officer Bill Gannon. The story focuses on crime more typical of the 1960s than of the previous Dragnet era; the detectives are assigned to find a voyeuristic serial killer similar to Harvey Glatman (played by Vic Perrin, who appeared in the 1954 film as an assistant district attorney). Also appearing is Virginia Gregg, who had a role in the 1954 feature and was a frequent guest actor in the 1951–59 series and the 1967–70 episodes, and John Roseboro, a catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who dabbled in acting in the off season; Roseboro played a plainclothes detective who had been the target of racial slurs by a child molester until Friday came to his aid. Dragnet (1987) In 1987, a comedy film version of Dragnet was released starring Dan Aykroyd as the stiff Joe Friday (nephew of the original Sergeant Joe Friday), and Tom Hanks as his partner, Detective Pep Streebeck. The film contrasted the terse, clipped character of Friday, a hero from an earlier age, with the "real world" of Los Angeles in 1987 to broad comedic effect. Apart from Aykroyd's spot-on imitation of Webb's Joe Friday and Harry Morgan reprising his role of Bill Gannon (now a Captain), the film version has few similarities with previous incarnations. This Dragnet parody was a hit with audiences, though no sequel was produced. LAPD Lieutenant Dan Cooke, who had served as technical advisor for the Jack Webb series, was technical advisor for this production. Remakes after Webb's death The New Dragnet (1989) A revival of Dragnet by The Arthur Company, titled The New Dragnet, aired in first-run syndication in tandem with The New Adam-12, a revival of the Jack Webb series Adam-12. Like The New Adam-12, The New Dragnet had entirely different characters, music, and format compared to the original series, and starred Jeff Osterhage as Detective Vic Daniels, Bernard White as Detective Carl Molina, and Don Stroud as Captain Lussen. Fifty-two episodes were aired over two seasons. The first season aired from October 24, 1989, to January 21, 1990; the second season aired from April 19, 1990, to September 9, 1990. L.A. Dragnet (2003) In 2003, a Dragnet series was produced by Dick Wolf, the producer of NBC's Law & Order series and spin-offs. It aired on ABC, and starred Ed O'Neill as Joe Friday and Ethan Embry as Frank Smith. After a 12-episode season that followed the traditional formula, the format of the series was changed to an ensemble crime drama in an attempt to boost ratings. (The change apparently reflected Webb's intentions for the 1980s revival series, with Joe Friday promoted again to Lieutenant and overseeing a pair or group of younger detectives.) In L.A. Dragnet, Friday was promoted to lieutenant with less screen time and Frank Smith was written out, in favor of a younger and ethnically diverse cast played by Eva Longoria, Desmond Harrington, Evan Dexter Parke, and Christina Chang. Roselyn Sanchez was added to the regular cast in a few episodes. With the Dragnet formula no longer in place, the program had the feel of a typical procedural drama. It was cancelled five episodes into its second season. Three episodes premiered on USA Network in early 2004, with the final two on the Sleuth channel in 2006. In other countries such as the Netherlands, the show is retitled Murder Investigation. Related works Music The theme from Dragnet has been recorded by many artists, achieving popular success. Artists who charted with it include Ray Anthony (1953) and The Art of Noise (1987). Nonfiction In 1958, Webb authored The Badge, a book containing chapters of true stories told from the view of a patrolman, sergeant, lieutenant, and others. It had a number of photographs and recently was reissued with a foreword by James Ellroy, author of L.A. Confidential, which features a fictional show, Badge of Honor, modeled after Dragnet. Parodies The Little Shop of Horrors, a 1960 cult classic comedy horror film by Roger Corman, features a parody of the traditional Dragnet dry, hard-boiled voiceover narration throughout, and in the second half of the film, an onscreen parody of Dragnet and Joe Friday's robotic stoicism, a police detective named Joe Fink who says in voiceover "My name is Fink. Joe Fink... I'm a fink". "St. George and the Dragonet", a 1953 short audio satire by Stan Freberg, was a smash hit reaching number one on both the Billboard and the Cash Box record charts. In this satire, Freberg used the line "", which entered popular lexicography as an actual catchphrase from Dragnet, despite the line never being used on the show, except for Season Two, Episode Eight ("Big Lease"). Freberg followed "St. George..." with "Little Blue Riding Hood" and "Christmas Dragnet". The 1954 Woody Woodpecker cartoon Under the Counter Spy was a parody of Dragnet. At the beginning, a narrator says, "The story you are about to see is a big fat lie. No names have been changed to protect anybody!" At the end, a hammer and stamp make the words "THE END", and the hammerer hits his thumb. The 1955, Three Stooges short Blunder Boys parodies Dragnet. In place of the familiar "Dragnet" theme, the first four notes of "The Song of the Volga Boatmen", which is in the public domain, is used. At the end of the film, Moe stamps Larry's head with a hammer; Larry's forehead then reads, "VII 1/2 The End". A 1956 Looney Tunes short, Rocket Squad, starred Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as Sgt. Joe Monday and Det. Schmoe Tuesday, respectively. Daffy narrated, giving a running timeline in the manner of Sgt. Friday. This police adventure ends with both officers convicted and imprisoned for false arrest. The opening title reads: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the story you are about to see is true. The drawings have been changed to protect the innocent". Another short, Tree Cornered Tweety, featured Tweety imitating the narrator of Dragnet as he is being pursued by Sylvester again. A segment of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show called "Bullwinkle's Corner", which featured Bullwinkle Moose in a poetry reading of "Tom, Tom the Piper's Son," parodied Dragnet, as Bullwinkle is apprehended in the act of stealing a pig by two detectives who interrogate Bullwinkle using a terse, clipped monotone similar in style to Joe Friday and Frank Smith ("You got a name?" "I'm Tom, Tom the Piper's Son." "All right, Piperson, what were you going to do with the pig?"). In 1968, Jack Webb appeared in the "Copper Clapper Caper" sketch on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, playing the poker-faced Joe Friday interviewing the equally deadpan victim of a robbery (played by Carson). The details of the crime started with the alliterative "k" or "kl" consonant sound, such as "Claude Cooper, the kleptomaniac from Cleveland." A Sesame Street Muppet skit from the early 1970s Dragnet, featuring Sgt. Thursday and his partner, Ben, searching for a fugitive letter ”W” based on a drawing Ben carries with him of the letter; when they do encounter the letter W it disguises itself turning upside down into a letter “M”. The final segment of each episode of PBS's Square One was titled "Mathnet" and opened with the Dragnet theme and an arrangement of the lines "The story you're about to see is a fib—but it's short. The names are made up, but the problems are real." Each story arc of the show's five-season run lasted five daily episodes (one week) and featured detectives Kate Monday (seasons 1–3) or Pat Tuesday (seasons 4–5) and George Ernest Frankly (all five seasons), of the LAPD in the first two of the show's five seasons and the New York Police Department in the last three seasons, using mathematics to solve crimes. Isaac Air Freight, a Christian sketch comedy troupe, parodied Dragnet twice: on their 1978 album Fun In The Son (track 11, Jerusalem Dragnet) and 1980 album Foolish Guy To Confound the Wise (track 8, Jerusalem Dragnet II). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z2Wtu8hy7I In 1983, "Prog #310" of UK sci-fi comic 2000AD featured a time-travelling parody of Dragnet in the story "Chrono Cops", written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. In five pages, "Joe Saturday" and "Ed Thursday" encounter several time-travel "tropes", including a character attempting to kill his own great-grandfather. The season-five episode of The Simpsons titled "Marge on the Lam" centers around Marge Simpson and neighbor Ruth Powers being pursued by police while illegally driving Ruth's ex-husband's car; the episode ends with a Dragnet-style epilogue detailing the characters' fates, as narrated by original series announcer George Fenneman, then the end credits run over a graphic of a police badge while a version of The Simpsons theme done in the style of the famous "Dragnet March" plays. Also, the season-seven episode "Mother Simpson" has Homer Simpson's mother, Mona Simpson, as a fugitive from Charles Montgomery Burns, who is about to be captured after 27 years. Burns is helped by officers Joe Friday and Bill Gannon (voiced by Harry Morgan). Dragnet is parodied at the end of the episode of The New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh titled: "Sorry, Wrong Slusher". Winnie-the-Pooh performs a closing narration as a mug shot of Christopher Robin is shown on screen, in the style of Dragnet. The Amazon original series Man in the High Castle features a show in the fictional universe where Germany won the Second World War called "American Reich", shot in the style of Dragnet. The show's title crawl music is similar to Dragnet, and the title card contains a police badge with a swastika in the center. In keeping with the alternate history, the character equivalent of Friday is a straight-laced Nazi, with catchphrases including "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein phone call" ("One people, one empire, one phone call."). Home media Radio series (1949–1957) Original television series (1951–1959) Most, if not all, episodes of this series are in the public domain, and 52 episodes were released by many DVD labels.

The Grand Rapids and Reeds Lake Railway Company was organized in 1872 as a horsecar tramway company. Initially, the streetcar was to run down Sherman Street south of Wealthy Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Property owners along Wealthy Street raised $17,000 in subscriptions as an inducement and donated it to the Grand Rapids and Reeds Lake Railway. This contribution paid the cost of construction of the streetcar tracks along Wealthy Street, with the railway company agreeing to operate and maintain the line. This line began downtown, running from Fulton Street to LaGrave Avenue then along Wealthy Street to Reeds Lake and Ramona Park, providing general access the entire length of the route for a ten cent fare. On March 23, 1875, the city of Grand Rapids authorized the use of some of its streets for the tramway and service began that year. In 1877, the company replaced horses with a ten-ton steam locomotive capable of pulling three cars. In 1883, the company merged with the city's three other streetcar companies to form the Street Railway Company of Grand Rapids.

"Wig" is a song by American new wave band The B-52's, the third and final single from their 1986 album Bouncing Off the Satellites. Release and promotion The single was released to coincide with the delayed release of Bouncing Off the Satellites in the UK in 1987, a year after it had been released in the U.S.; thus "Wig" was released in the UK only and was the first single from the album there. While the band didn't tour in support of Bouncing Off the Satellites upon its original release, due to guitarist Ricky Wilson's then-recent death, they traveled to the UK to make promotional appearances, miming to "Wig" on TV and being interviewed in magazines. The single peaked at No. 79 in the UK. Many years later, in 2010, the band started playing "Wig" live, and a live version was included on their With The Wild Crowd! live album.

Chelsea Heights and Westchester Hills are adjacent neighborhoods, separated by a municipal park, in the northwest corner of the Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Decatur. Chelsea Heights straddles the east and west sides of the CSX railroad tracks, falling within the City of Decatur and the unincorporated DeKalb County, respectively. The latter part, though located east of what historically was Druid Hills, is part of the Druid Hills CDP and participates in the Druid Hills Civic Association: see Chelsea Heights (Druid Hills). Westchester Hills is fully within the city limits of Decatur, and is the more northerly of the two neighborhoods. Chelsea Heights is the older and more historic of the two neighborhoods. It primarily contains single-family homes, but also contains a modest, low-rise condominium complex called Emory Chase, and duplex homes on North Parkwood Rd. Westchester Hills consists of single-family homes, the Decatur YMCA and a nursing home. Both neighborhoods are north of Scott Blvd.; east of the heart of Druid Hills; and south of North Decatur. Although the neighborhoods front on Scott Blvd. and Clairemont Ave., there are no significant commercial structures other than the Decatur YMCA and the Venetian Pools Community Association, a private pool. Peavine Creek, part of the South Fork Peachtree Creek watershed, passes through these neighborhoods. History The Chelsea Land Company began platting Chelsea Heights as early as 1912, but the area west of the railroad tracks (in unincorporated DeKalb County) was not platted until 1914. Construction of the first streets began in the 1920s, but most of the residences were constructed in the 1940s and 1950s – after the Great Depression. The variety of residential architectural styles in Chelsea Heights are partially due to the pre/post World War II construction periods. The oldest house in the neighborhood is a much-renovated American Small house that was built in 1935 and is located at 259 Chelsea Drive. The neighborhood has retained its historic character. Only five houses were constructed in the neighborhood between the 1960s and the present, and most of the renovations to historic houses have been compatible with the predominant historic styles of the neighborhood. Westchester Hills, on the other hand, primarily consists of single-family homes primarily built in the first half of the 1950s. Both neighborhoods have seen "tear downs" in the last 10–15 years, with the modest homes being replaced by upscale homes. Architecture The name "Chelsea Heights" is derived from the name of the development company, Chelsea Land Company, and the hilly terrain of west Decatur. Despite the construction of some homes in the 1920s, the majority of Chelsea Heights homes were constructed in the post-war era. The two primary architectural styles found in the community were Minimal Traditional and Ranch style homes, but Bungalow, Cape Cod and Contemporary homes are also present in the neighborhood. Most residences have a horizontal appearance to them, and are modest in comparison to the mansions located in the heart of Druid Hills to the west. For this reason, Chelsea Heights has more in common architecturally with Decatur than with Druid Hills. The neighborhood is also notable for its curvilinear, steep roads, and for homes that sit 1-2 stories above those roads. City of Decatur streets in the Chelsea Heights neighborhood include Chelsea Dr., Pope Cir., Mockingbird Ln., Ridley Cir., Kathryn Ave., Merrill Ave. and North Parkwood Rd. North Parkwood backs up to the CSX railroad tracks. Coventry Road is the main road that bisects the neighborhood. The middle segment of Coventry Rd. is located within Chelsea Heights' City of Decatur section; the west leg is in Druid Hills; and the east leg is in Ponce De Leon Heights. Additional streets are located in the western section of Chelsea Heights. "Westchester Hills" derives its name from Westchester Dr., the primary east-west street in the neighborhood, and its location in the hilly terrain of west Decatur. Other streets in Westchester Hills include Maediris Way, Dogwood Way and Harold Byrd Way. The west end of Westchester Dr. backs up to the CSX railroad tracks. Parks and recreation Fernbank School Park, 157 Heaton Park Dr. This DeKalb County park is located west of the CSX railroad tracks. It includes a multi-use field and court, playground, picnic area and walking trails. Hidden Cove Park, 758 Scott Blvd. This City of Decatur park is east of the CSX railroad tracks, behind the former Westchester Elementary School. The park is located between Chelsea Heights and Westchester Hills. The City of Decatur also purchased a vacant parcel containing a stream and trail that adjoins this park, and falls between N. Parkwood Rd. & Westchester Hills Dr. in 2007. The "Wildcat Trail" runs through this park. Westchester Elementary School has a playground with playground equipment suitable for young children as well as a small, edible garden used by the school for teaching purposes. There is a large, open field, great for pickup soccer games. Additionally, there are picnic tables and a basketball court. Venetian Pool Community Association, 150 Scott Blvd. A private community association with a pool. YMCA - Decatur, Clairemont Ave. & Maediris Way. Transportation Clairemont Ave., is located east of Westchester Hills, and serves as a primary entry point from Interstate 85. Ponce de Leon Blvd., is located south of the unincorporated DeKalb County portion of Chelsea Heights, serves as a primary entry point from Atlanta. Scott Blvd., is located southeast of both neighborhoods, and serves as a primary entry point from Atlanta and Interstate 285. See also References Clarke, Caroline McKinney.

Holy Sonnet VIII – also known by its opening words as If Faithful Souls Be Alike Glorified – is a poem written by John Donne, an English metaphysical poet. It was first published in 1633, two years after the author's death. It is included in the "Holy Sonnets," a collection of nineteen poems written by John Donne. "If Faithful Souls" is usually ordered as number 8 in the sequence, as was proposed by Grierson; in the original sentence, the sonnet was numbered as 10. "Sonnet VIII" and the initial sequence The poem did not appear in the initial sequence released around 1609, alongside three other sonnets. Derrin suggests that this was due to these four sonnets being limited in terms of the evoked imagery, and not addressing certain matters as "dramatically and forcefully" as the poems that were originally included. Another possible reason is that the speaker in these four poems was much more "abject" than in other sonnets, limiting his possibilities with a comparatively more significant sense of desperation. Summary and structure of the poem The poem begins with the speaker saying that his dead father, who is now "glorified" (line 1) in heaven, sees that his child has successfully avoided hell, which brings the father "felicity" (line 3). The speaker then asks the question of how his mind's "white truth" (line 8) might be seen by the glorified souls, as they may have knowledge of a person's mind on the basis of "signs" (line 6). Afterwards, the speaker proceeds to name types of sinful and fake devotion. In the following apostrophe, the soul is addressed and asked to turn to God; he knows its grief as he is the one to have put it in the speaker's breast. The speaker uses Petrarchan language. The "Anima Mea tradition" is invoked, that is, an internal dialogue between the speaker and his soul. It starts with the speaker declaring his reliance on God for "knowledge of his own sincerity." It also reveals the psalmic and Augustinian undertones hidden within the speaker's use of Petrarchan language. There is a volta in the ninth verse, that is, a substantial change of the mood of the sonnet. Here, the focus shifts and is put on a "more limited, impaired, but respectably more traditional Protestant vision of a fallen world," which envisions a God "who curtails communication between sinners and saints and puts grief in human breasts." The final sentence has been noted to signify doubt, signalled by a shift in possessive pronouns: "thy" is used in the apostrophe to the soul, but it changes into a "corporeal self," that is, "my." Themes and analysis The Holy Sonnets in general propose that there exist different types of such emotions as grief or love. The general consensus among the critics regarding these notions is that the speaker doubts their nature, as well as himself and his salvation. It has been proposed that in "If faithful souls" the speaker has not yet reached "an appropriate kind and degree of sorrow." He searches for his own kind of sorrow unlike the one represented by "idolatrous lovers" (line 9). It is also noted that the "white truth" (line 8) may be "pure angelic knowledge" describable only by such qualities as the colour; it is possibly possessed by the father, but not by the son, which is what the speaker's "outward actions" imply; they “betray an inner worthlessness within.” The grief present in the final lines of the poem may either be melancholy or sorrow. The speaker emphasizes it to be the latter, which would be "an index of God’s affection." This leads to a paradox, as his grief is a sign of "spiritual crisis"; it should not exist within him, as God “cultivates the care of his soul.” Other critics suggest that the speaker knows and trusts the type of grief that God inserted in him to be true. His "pensive soule" (line 13) is reliant on it and reassures the speaker of his own election. It grants him solace, as he may "offer God real grief and not a mere token or "rote" penance.” According to Ricks, a "positive note is struck" in the final lines of the poem, as the speaker (whom the critic associates with the poet) has found “means of salvation” and God's "arbitrary" mercy could now be acquired with “tears of repentance." The critics are divided on the topic of the father within this sonnet. The current consensus is that the majority of the critics seem to associate the character with the author's father, John Donne, Senior, a Catholic. It is noted that "If Faithful Souls" "betrays nostalgia, even longing" for the intercession of saints. It is supposed that the "father’s soul" (line 2) represents Donne’s father, whose soul is presented in the first quatrain as the one receiving a "Beatific Vision of God" ("full felicity," line 3) and "contemplating his son’s spiritual fortitude." That is the case if all souls are indeed "glorified" (line 1) regardless of their religious affiliation. Other critics suggest that there is a double meaning present in this fragment, as Donne ponders "whether or not angels know the thoughts of men," questioning if his father reached salvation. As a Catholic in life, he belonged to "misdevotion," which makes the speaker doubt whether his father can judge the validity of his faith and devotion. It has been proposed that this leads the speaker to "valiantly… hell's wide mouth o'erstride" (line 4) in search of "true devotion." The critics are not unanimous whether this sonnet is predominantly Catholic or Protestant. It is noted that "If Faithful Souls" contains longing for "Roman doctrines" of mediation, which allowed communication between humans and God through "more generous conduits of grace." Gary Kuchar points to the Petrarchan language used by the speaker, proposing that the sonnet "begins to reveal the psalmic and Augustinian subtexts within and behind" it. The poem begins with him "confessing his dependence on God for knowledge of his own sincerity thereby implying at least a cognitive recognition of the renunciation of autonomy necessary to Protestant regeneration." According to Martin, the speaker offers his struggle not to God, but to a "community of saints broader than any single church," an "invisible elite" to which his father belongs despite his Catholic "misdevotion" in life. "Weeping" and "mourning" (line 9) of the idolatrous lovers can be seen as "ritualistic" and therefore fake. As such, they "must be condemned," as were "vile blasphemous Conjurers" (line 10) or "Pharisaicall / Dissemblers" (line 11-12). This would suggest an underlying antiritualist Protestant tone. Connections with other sonnets It has been suggested that Donne's Holy Sonnets portray the Christian universe. "If Faithful Souls" incorporates hell into this image. "At the round earths" expands upon it "horizontally," while "Wilt thou love God" adds heaven and God. "If poisonous minerals" and "Why Are We By All Creatures" further expand upon this image, as the two sonnets incorporate the "lower orders" of flora, fauna and minerals. "At The Round Earths" and "If Faithful Souls" also insert all men, "both the quick and the dead," into the world of the Holy Sonnets. Russel Hillier classifies "If Faithful Souls" as one of the four Holy Sonnets where one may find Donne's "vestigial chronicle." It contains his "sense of loss" of certain elements of the Roman Catholic faith that allowed for mediation between God and humans. "If Faithful Souls" represents Donne's longing for the intercession of the saints. "Since She Whom I Loved" contains a "competition of affection" between the speaker's faith and his wife, who is elevated to the "extraordinary" status of a sacrament. In "Death Be Not Proud," the speaker attempts to turn death into a sacrament granting eternal life "through the death of death." The last sonnet of this group is "Show Me, Dear Christ," which provides the reader with an insight regarding Donne's tolerationism and his relationship with ecumenism, later addressed further in his sermons. According to Tina Skouen, throughout the first half of the Holy Sonnets different degrees of internal conflict are portrayed. "If Faithful Souls" and "At The Round Earth's" are the two sonnets that seem to portray the speaker at a point where he has not yet reached an "appropriate kind and degree of sorrow." Gary Kuchar notes that "If Faithful Souls" alludes to "O Might Those Sighes" by asking how one is to recognize another person's state of salvation. The difficulty comes from the outward appearance of "idolatrous lovers" ("If Faithful Souls" line 9) being the same as that of true devotion. The speaker seems to answer this question through the recognition of God as both immanent and transcendent. "O Might Those Sighes" also contains the initiation of the Anima Mea tradition, beginning as a direct "address to the self." This is later elaborated upon in "If Faithful Souls," where the speaker engages in a dialogue with the soul through an apostrophe, beginning the internal dialogue. The dialogue attempts to "unsettle, if not break" the Petrarchan solipsism prevalent in "O Might Those Sighes." The critic also points to "If Faithful Souls," "Since She Whom I Loved" and "What If This Present" being connected through portraying a "distinctly Petrarchan image of the courtly lover." All three sonnets use "Petrarchan vocabulary and topoi" when tackling the theme of one's struggle with their fear of divine judgement, and focus on managing the speaker's "anxiety over his own ontological and soteriological lack of self-sufficiency."

Moneta Branch, also known as the Junipero Serra Branch, is a former branch library of the Los Angeles Public Library located south of Downtown Los Angeles. History The Moneta Branch was established in 1908 as a book depository located in a store. In 1915, a formal branch library was opened in a rented store building at 249 West 45th Street, near Moneta Avenue, from which it derived its name. During World War I, the Moneta Branch served as a headquarters for Liberty bonds and the Red Cross. The existing Mediterranean Revival style branch library building was opened in 1923. The name of the branch was changed in 1934 to the Junipero Serra Branch in honor of Junípero Serra, the founder of the California mission system. Designated historic place The Moneta Branch was designated as a Historic-Cultural Monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in March 1984. In 1987, the Moneta Branch and several other branch libraries in Los Angeles were added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a thematic group submission. The application noted that the branch libraries had been constructed in a variety of period revival styles to house the initial branch library system of the City of Los Angeles. With respect to the Moneta Branch, the application described the building as a one-story Mediterranean Revival building, constructed of brick with a stucco finish. It is designed with a symmetrical front facade, and its most visible feature is a square, central tower. Closed The Moneta/Serra Branch was closed in 1987 following the Whittier Narrows earthquake, and a temporary replacement branch in a mini-mall on Figueroa Street was burned in the 1992 riots. A permanent replacement library was opened in 1998 at the former site of a tortilla factory at Main Street and 46th Street. The new branch was three times larger than the old Serra Branch and includes multimedia computer workstations with access to the Internet. Choreographer Debbie Allen led a campaign to raise $900,000 to buy the books and materials for the Serra branch and the nearby John Muir branch, which was also burned during the riots. The old 1923 library building on Olive Street has remained closed since the 1987 earthquake.

In computing, (abbreviated ) is an internal DOS command in COMMAND.COM that is used to load a program into the upper memory area (UMA) instead of conventional memory. The command was introduced with MS-DOS 5.0 / PC DOS 5.0 in 1991, copying the built-in command earlier introduced with DR DOS 5.0 in 1990. DR DOS 6.0 added support for this naming variant as well in 1991. Overview Due to design of the IBM PC, DOS suffered from what was known as the 640 KB barrier. The size of this memory area, known as conventional memory, was fixed and independent of the amount of system memory actually installed. Various schemes were developed to support extra memory (see also EMS, XMS) and DOS extenders, but conventional memory was still an issue due to compatibility issues. It was a scarce resource as many applications demanded a large part of this basic memory fragment at runtime. Therefore, it was often necessary to move high some TSR programs like the mouse driver or the disk caching driver (like SMARTDRV) prior to running a memory-hungry application. This was achieved by using called with the program's name as the parameter. To load TSRs high within CONFIG.SYS, the INSTALLHIGH directive must be used instead of the command. The equivalent of for device drivers is DEVICEHIGH (usable only within CONFIG.SYS). These are also supported since DR DOS 6.0. DR DOS 5.0 and higher also support HIINSTALL and HIDEVICE, respectively. Most modern operating systems now run in protected mode with support for an unsegmented (flat) memory model and do not have a 640 KB constraint. and other methods of freeing conventional memory have largely become obsolete. is part of the Windows XP MS-DOS subsystem to maintain MS-DOS and MS OS/2 version 1.x syntax compatibility only.

Kartarpur ( , ਕਰਤਾਰਪੁਰ ; ) is a town located, in the Shakargarh Tehsil, Narowal District in Punjab, Pakistan. Located on the right bank of the Ravi River, it is said to have been founded by the first guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, where he established the first Sikh commune. Geography Kartarpur is located at . It is located in Narowal District, Punjab, Pakistan. It has an average elevation of 155 metres (511 feet). History The first guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, founded Kartarpur in 1504 AD on the right bank of the Ravi River. The name Kartarpur means "city of Creator or God", from Punjabi "ਕਰਤਾਰ" (Kartar) meaning 'Creator' or 'Lord of Creation' and "ਪੁਰ" (Pur) meaning 'City'. Here all people, irrespective of their religion or caste, lived together, representing the first 'Sikh commune'. After his travels for about 20 years, Guru Nanak settled in Kartarpur along with his family. Following his death in 1539, Hindus and Muslims both claimed him as their own, and raised mausoleums in his memory with a common wall between them. The changing course of the Ravi River eventually washed away the mausoleums. But Guru Nanak's son saved the urn containing his ashes and reburied it on the left bank of the river, where a new habitation was formed, representing the present day Dera Baba Nanak. After Nanak's passing, the early Sikh community's headquarters was shifted from Kartarpur to the village of Khadur by his successor, Guru Angad. At the location Guru Nanak is believed to have died, the Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib was built. It is considered to be the second holiest site for the Sikh religion. During the 1947 partition of India, the region got divided across India and Pakistan. The Radcliffe Line awarded the Shakargarh tehsil on the right bank of the Ravi river, including Kartarpur, to Pakistan, and the Gurdaspur tehsil on the left bank of Ravi to India. Kartarpur Corridor On 9 November 2019, Prime Minister Imran Khan inaugurated the opening of a cross-border Kartarpur Corridor allowing Indian Sikhs to visit Pakistan without a visa. On the same day, the first Jatha (batch) of over 500 Indian pilgrims visited the shrine thanking Prime Minister Khan for "respecting the sentiments of India" towards the shrine across the border that marks the final resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev. Under the leadership of Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh, the first Jatha traveled through the corridor into Pakistan to pay obeisance at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur which included former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The delegation also included ex-PM's wife, Gursharan Kaur, Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Sunny Deol, and 150 Indian parliamentarians. Demography The population is primarily Punjabi. Majority of peoples belongs to Gurjars, Rajputs and Jats casts. After the Partition of Punjab in 1947, the minority Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India while many Muslim refugees from India settled down in Kartarpur.

The Fibonacci word fractal is a fractal curve defined on the plane from the Fibonacci word. Definition This curve is built iteratively by applying the Odd–Even Drawing rule to the Fibonacci word 0100101001001...: For each digit at position k: Draw a segment forward If the digit is 0: Turn 90° to the left if k is even Turn 90° to the right if k is odd To a Fibonacci word of length (the nth Fibonacci number) is associated a curve made of segments. The curve displays three different aspects whether n is in the form 3k, 3k + 1, or 3k + 2. Properties Some of the Fibonacci word fractal's properties include: The curve contains segments, right angles and flat angles. The curve never self-intersects and does not contain double points. At the limit, it contains an infinity of points asymptotically close. The curve presents self-similarities at all scales. The reduction ratio is . This number, also called the silver ratio, is present in a great number of properties listed below. The number of self-similarities at level n is a Fibonacci number \ −1. (more precisely: ). The curve encloses an infinity of square structures of decreasing sizes in a ratio (see figure). The number of those square structures is a Fibonacci number. The curve can also be constructed in different ways (see gallery below): Iterated function system of 4 and 1 homothety of ratio and By joining together the curves and Lindenmayer system By an iterated construction of 8 square patterns around each square pattern. By an iterated construction of octagons The Hausdorff dimension of the Fibonacci word fractal is , with the golden ratio. Generalizing to an angle between 0 and , its Hausdorff dimension is , with . The Hausdorff dimension of its frontier is . Exchanging the roles of "0" and "1" in the Fibonacci word, or in the drawing rule yields a similar curve, but oriented 45°. From the Fibonacci word, one can define the «dense Fibonacci word», on an alphabet of 3 letters: 102210221102110211022102211021102110221022102211021... . The usage, on this word, of a more simple drawing rule, defines an infinite set of variants of the curve, among which: a "diagonal variant" a "svastika variant" a "compact variant" It is conjectured that the Fibonacci word fractal appears for every sturmian word for which the slope, written in continued fraction expansion, ends with an infinite sequence of "1"s. Gallery The Fibonacci tile The juxtaposition of four curves allows the construction of a closed curve enclosing a surface whose area is not null. This curve is called a "Fibonacci tile". The Fibonacci tile almost tiles the plane. The juxtaposition of 4 tiles (see illustration) leaves at the center a free square whose area tends to zero as k tends to infinity. At the limit, the infinite Fibonacci tile tiles the plane. If the tile is enclosed in a square of side 1, then its area tends to . Fibonacci snowflake The Fibonacci snowflake is a Fibonacci tile defined by: if otherwise. with and , "turn left" and "turn right", and . Several remarkable properties: It is the Fibonacci tile associated to the "diagonal variant" previously defined. It tiles the plane at any order. It tiles the plane by translation in two different ways. its perimeter at order n equals , where is the nth Fibonacci number. its area at order n follows the successive indexes of odd row of the Pell sequence (defined by ).

Eduardo Perez Reyes (born January 11, 1959) is an American politician. He was a member of the Los Angeles City Council, representing the 1st district. Reyes was re-elected in 2005 to serve a second Council term, capturing 78 percent of the votes. He is a member of the Democratic Party. He has a background in urban planning. Career In response to safety concerns, Reyes, vice-chair of the Public Safety Committee, has secured funds for added Los Angeles Police Department units and technology, graffiti and neighborhood clean-ups, gang prevention programs and safe route school maps. In September 2008, Reyes opened the new Rampart Division police station, one of the nation's busiest police stations, and the city's "greenest" police station because of its LEED Gold-rated designation. In October 2002, and shortly after William Bratton became the city's top cop, Reyes brought the Los Angeles Police Department Police Chief to MacArthur Park to witness firsthand the drug deals, gang activity and shootings there. That tour resulted in a nationally recognized LAPD effort - consisting of surveillance cameras and boosted patrols—that transformed one of the city's most blighted parks into a popular spot for family picnics, festivals and concerts. Crime at MacArthur Park has dropped 20 percent since Reyes launched the crime-fighting project, a joint effort with the community, local businesses and LAPD. Earlier in his tenure, Reyes also launched a nationally renowned lead abatement program to protect children from the dangers of lead-based paint found in pre-1979 housing. He spearheaded the $160 million Northeast Interceptor Sewer tunnel to prevent sewage overflow and protect the health of families and children. As Chair of the City Council's Planning and Land Use Management committee, Reyes has expanded the city's affordable housing stock. He has pushed for Adaptive Reuse, or the conversion of abandoned buildings into housing, and Residential and Accessory Services, which permits residential development in commercial zones. And he has spearheaded efforts to strengthen the city's rent control ordinance. As chair of the Metro Gold Line Authority he also helped ensure that the $750 million Gold Line project be completed on time and on budget. Reyes has opened four new libraries in Cypress Park, Chinatown, Highland Park and Pico-Union and has added more than of new park space to his district. As chair of the Los Angeles River Ad Hoc Committee, he has brought a renewed focus to the once-ignored Los Angeles River and secured more than $3 million to create a neighborhood-driven plan that will include enhancing water quality, environmental protection, increasing open space and improving flood control. Reyes attended University of California, Los Angeles where he earned a bachelor's degree in English and a master's degree from UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. He lives in the northeast Los Angeles community of Mt. Washington with his wife Martha and their four children. Endorsements Ed Reyes famously endorsed City Warts, the first non-profit charity dedicated to finding job placement for individuals actively suffering from contagious warts, in 2017.

Royal Freeman Nash was the secretary-treasurer of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) from February 15, 1916, to September 1, 1917. Career Nash was a white author. Historian Patricia Bernstein described him in 2006 as a social worker. He headed the North Carolina branch of the NAACP. Before being made secretary, he had investigated fires in Cherokee County, Georgia, that the NAACP thought could be arson against Black people. His 1916 investigation also reported on attacks on Black people in Forsyth County, Georgia. Nash took office as secretary-treasurer in February 1916, but hadn't adopted a tangible program for the organization's future by mid-November. In February, Philip G. Peabody, a wealthy American, offered to donate $10,000, to the anti-lynching movement and wrote NAACP leader Moorfield Storey requesting a plan for how the organization would spend the money before he committed to donating it. To the fledgling NAACP, this was a vast sum, and Nash quickly worked to figure out how the money would be spent. He produced a lengthy report for Peabody proposing an extensive information campaign and other advocacy around the nation towards an anti-lynching law. Bernstein writes that "perhaps the NAACP did its job too well"; Peabody may have thought his money would not be sufficient for the program. He did not ever donate $10,000. That same year he investigated the Lynching of Anthony Crawford in North Carolina. Nash's report was republished in newspapers around the country. He was torn between whether the NAACP needed to hire a new lawyer or official to work on publicity. Historian Charles Francis Kellogg describes this as having a chilling effect on his relations with prominent NAACP members Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard. A committee was established shortly after to develop plans for 1917 and the NAACP hired its first field secretary, James Weldon Johnson. As secretary, Nash was intensely focused on the NAACP's Federal Aid Committeein 1917 Ovington wrote that he spent half of his time with the committee. In the aftermath of the Lynching of Jesse Washington he worked with Elisabeth Freeman to investigate. The day after the lynching, Nash contacted Freeman and advised her on how to best investigate the lynching. He requested that she gather large amounts of information, including interviewing locals, legal evidence, and images. Nash also provided Freeman with a copy of his investigation in Georgia. The NAACP sought to publicize the lynching widely to aid anti-lynching movements. Nash and Freeman were unable to get the lynching prosecuted, though they were successful in widely publicizing it. He proposed changing the name of the NAACP to a name honoring several white figures associated with the abolition of slavery in the US, suggesting "The [William Lloyd] Garrison Association,” “The Wendell Phillips Association,” and “The [Abraham] Lincoln Association” because he thought the organization's name was "cumbersome". Nash left his role in May 1917 to serve in World War I, entering training for officers. He initially took a leave of absence but by September was forced to resign, in part due to his large involvement with the Federal Aid Committee. Nash remained involved in the NAACP. Nash later expressed guilt that he had left the organization. In the army he rose to the rank of captain in the field artillery and was transferred to the 167th Field Artillery Brigade, a brigade made up of Black soldiers. Historians August Meier and Elliott Rudwick conclude that Nash was "singularly ineffective" as secretary. References Bibliography NAACP activists Year of birth missing Year of death missing
Hugh Robert Arthur Edwards (17 November 1906 – 21 December 1972), also known as Jumbo Edwards, was an English rower who competed for Great Britain in the 1932 Summer Olympics. He was born to Welsh-speaking parents in Woodstock, Oxfordshire and died in Southampton. He went to Christ Church, Oxford, in 1925, and was the only Freshman selected to row in the 1926 Blue Boat. He collapsed during the race, and was later diagnosed as having a hypertrophied heart, and was told he was no longer needed to row for the university. Edwards left Oxford in 1927 after failing his exams, and became a school teacher. He also recommenced rowing, with London Rowing Club. While rowing with London Rowing Club, he was successful at Henley Royal Regatta in 1928, 1929, and 1930, winning the Grand Challenge Cup in 1930. At the British Empire Games in Canada in 1930, London Rowing Club crews representing England, and which contained Edwards, won two gold medals, in the eights and in the coxed fours. He was then invited to row in the 1930 Oxford Blue Boat. In the 1932 Olympics he won the gold medal in the coxless pairs event with Lewis Clive, and a second gold in the Great Britain coxless four, on the same day. He later turned to competitive flying, coming second in the 1935 King's Cup Race. During the Second World War Edwards served in RAF Coastal Command, once saving his own life by rowing four miles through a minefield in a dinghy after his plane crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. After rising to the rank of Group Captain, he was demobbed in 1946. He was invited back to be a member of the Oxford coaching team in 1949, although resigned in 1957 after a disagreement with the Australian-born president, Roderick Carnegie. He was brought back in 1959 by OUBC President Ronnie Howard, but provoked a rebellion by certain members of the crew over his demands on them. Despite the resignation of certain members of the squad, Oxford beat Cambridge, and his subsequent coaching efforts made him an Oxford legend. In 1962, he coached the Wales four containing his two sons that won silver at the Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia. He wrote a book on rowing technique in 1963 entitled The Way of a Man with a Blade. Having been a pupil of both Dr "Beja" Bourne and Steve Fairbairn, he sought to bring together the divergent rowing styles of English Orthodoxy and Fairbairnism. A coxed four belonging to Christ Church Boat Club is named Jumbo Edwards. The club's other four, is named after Jonathan Searle, another Olympic Gold medallist.

Ernst Huth (27 December 1845, Potsdam – 5 August 1897) was a German naturalist and botanist. He studied mathematics and natural sciences in Berlin, later working as a secondary school teacher in Frankfurt an der Oder. Beginning in 1883 he published the Monatliche Mittheilungen des Naturwissenschaftlichen Vereins Regierungsbezirkes Frankfurt, in which he was the author of numerous scientific articles. He is known for his treatment of the botanical family Ranunculaceae, of which he was the taxonomic author of many species, especially plants within the genus Delphinium. In 1908 August Brand named the genus Huthia (synonym Cantua, family Polemoniaceae) in his honor.

Hans Hoffmann (c. 1530 in Nuremberg – 1591/92 in Prague) was a German painter and draftsman. A leading representative of the Dürer Renaissance, he specialised in watercolor and gouache nature studies, many of them copied from or based on Dürer's work. Biography By 1576 he was living in Nuremberg, where he was mentioned in the records of the town-council meetings as the painter Hans Hoffmann, citizen of the town. He quickly became known for his copies after works by Albrecht Dürer. In 1584 he went to Munich to work on behalf of William V, Duke of Bavaria. In 1585 he was appointed as a court painter by Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, who brought him to the imperial court in Prague. At the imperial court, Hoffmann advised Rudolph on the development of his art collection and acquired for him works by Dürer. The art collection assembled by the Nuremberg citizen contained more than 100 works by Hans Hoffmann. Because the collection was intact until the beginning of the 19th century, many of these works are documented. References Further reading Bodnár, Szilvia. "Hoffmann, Hans." In Grove Art Online.

Richard Garrard (born 26 July 1943) is an Australian former rower. He was a seven-time Australian national champion who rowed at the elite level for a fifteen-year period from 1964-79. He competed in the men's coxless four event at the 1964 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal at the 1977 World Rowing Championships. Club and state rowing Raised in Melbourne, Gerrard was educated at and took up rowing at Xavier College, Melbourne in 1958. He joined the Mercantile Rowing Club in 1959 whilst still at school and won a novice pair in that year. He first won a Victorian state championship in 1962 aged nineteen with Bob Lachal in a coxed pair. Victorian state selection first came for Gerrard in 1963, but as a reserve for the King's Cup eight and he did not race in a state crew till 1966 when he was in the bow seat of the Victorian eight which won the King's Cup that year. It was his sole state appearance at the Interstate Regatta. In Mercantile colours on several occasions and much later in Corio Bay Rowing Club colours Garrard contested national championships at the Australian Rowing Championships. He won six national titles, racing for Mercantile between 1964 and 1979 - twice in a coxless four (1964 and 1966) ; in a coxless pair in 1974; and three times in the lightweight eight (1975, 1976 and 1977). International representative rowing Representative selection first came for Gerrard aged just 20 when he was picked to row in an all Mercantile coxless four at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. They were eliminated in the repechage. In the 1966 at the second ever World Championships in Bled, Garrard raced again in an all Mercantile four who were eliminated in the repechage. In 1967 Garrard was selected at stroke of the Australian men's eight for a four race Trans-Tasman series against New Zealand. They lost all four of the match races. After a long gap and a shift down to the lightweight division Garrard was back in national representative contention for the 1977 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam. That eight rowed to a bronze medal.

The Happy Highwayman is a collection of short stories by Leslie Charteris, first published in 1939 by Hodder and Stoughton in the United Kingdom and The Crime Club in the United States. This was the 21st book to feature the adventures of Simon Templar, alias "The Saint". The 1963 Hodder and Stoughton paperback edition erroneously gives 1933 as the book's original publishing date, as does the 1958 Pan Books paperback. This was the last set of Saint short stories until the publication of Saint Errant nine years later. It is also the first Saint book since Thieves' Picnic in which Templar's girlfriend and partner, Patricia Holm, does not appear. Also absent is Hoppy Uniatz, Templar's sidekick. However, the story "The Charitable Countess" does include the return of Inspector Fernack, last seen in 1935's The Saint in New York. In his introduction to the 1963 Fiction Publishing Corporation edition of 1930s Enter the Saint, Charteris writes that he had no intention of updating his early stories as they were republished, preferring them to remain as period pieces. When Hodder & Stoughton republished The Happy Highwayman in 1963, however, some updates were done to parts of the texts. This is most noticeable in the story "The Star Producers". When originally published in 1939, several major stars of the day were referenced, specifically William Powell, John Barrymore and Greta Garbo. For the 1963 edition, these names were replaced with 1960s stars William Holden, Marlon Brando, and Brigitte Bardot, respectively. (However, a reference to Charles Laughton is left unaltered.) Another story, "The Man Who Was Lucky", makes reference to the Atomic Age in the 1963 edition, a term not in use when it was first published in 1939. The Happy Highwayman collection marked the end of an era in the Saint series. Beginning with the next book, The Saint in Miami, Charteris relocated Templar to the United States where most of the 1940s adventures would take place; afterwards, Templar's adventures became more international in scope. The Happy Highwayman, as a result, was the last Saint book for many years to be primarily set in Great Britain. In addition, beginning with The Saint in Miami Templar's adventures became primarily World War II-focused. Aside from a few subtle references, the character of Claud Eustace Teal disappears from the series after this book, not to return until an appearance in the 1956 short story collection The Saint Around the World, though a few off-the-cuff references will be made to him in the interim. The next Saint book to be primarily set outside the US would be The Saint in Europe, published in 1953. Stories The book consisted of 9 stories (the order varies between editions): The Man Who Was Lucky - The Saint steps in to save the life of a murder witness who is marked for death by a gangster. Serialised in Woman's Journal July 1938 as "Stranger Things Have Happened". The Smart Detective - upon returning to England from a trip abroad, The Saint becomes interested in a stash of emeralds owned by a sweat shop owner, not realizing an ambitious Scotland Yard detective is watching his every move. Serialised in Woman's Journal May 1938 as "A Matter of Seconds". The Wicked Cousin - when Simon discovers an old friend has been unfairly treated by a will, he sets out to make things right. The Well-Meaning Mayor - during a visit to the seaside town of Elmford, Simon avenges the suicide of a police commissioner by going after the corrupt civic leader responsible. Serialised in Woman's Journal June 1938 as "Saint's Day". The Benevolent Burglary - Templar makes a bet with a mean-spirited art dealer that his collection will be stolen within a week of a gala opening, which sets Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal after the Saint in order to prevent the crime. The Star Producers - after a young woman loses $4,000 in a fake acting school scam, Templar decides to enrol. The Charitable Countess - Simon engages in a battle of wits with a less-than-charitable society figure. The Mug's Game - with the aid of a pair of trick glasses, Templar turns the tables on a pair of poker cheats. The Man Who Liked Ants - Charteris takes The Saint into science fiction territory when he meets a scientist who has bred giant-sized ants in order to replace humans as the dominant species. Some editions of this book omit the stories "The Charitable Countess" and "The Mug's Game".

Shri Shri Mahalakshmi Bhairabi Griba Maha Peetha is one of the Shakti Peeths, at Joinpur village, Dakshin Surma, near Gotatikar, 3 km south-east of Sylhet town, Bangladesh. The Hindu Goddess Sati's neck fell here. The Goddess is worshipped as Mahalakshmi and the Bhairav form is Sambaranand. Legend Sati, was the first wife of Shiva as the first incarnation of Parvati. She was the daughter of King Daksha and Queen (the daughter of Brahma). She committed self-immolation at the sacrificial fire of a yagna performed by her father Daksha as she felt seriously distraught by her father's insult of her husband and also to her by not inviting both of them for the yagna. Shiva was so grieved after hearing of the death of his wife that he danced around the world in a Tandav Nritya ("devastating penance" or dance of destruction) carrying Sati's dead body over his shoulders. Perturbed by this situation and in order to bring Shiv to a state of normalcy, it was then Vishnu who decided to use his Sudarshan Chakra (the rotating knife s carried on his finger tip). He dismembered Sati's body with the chakra into several pieces and wherever her body fell on the earth, the place was consecrated as a divine shrine oo Shakthi Peeth with deities of Sati (Parvati) and Shiva. These locations have become famous pilgrimage places as Pithas or Shakthi Pithas, and are found scattered all over the subcontinent including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal, apart from India. Sati is also known as Devi or Shakthi, and with blessings of Vishnu she was reborn as the daughter of Himavat or Himalayas and hence named as Parvati (daughter of mountains). She was born on the 14th day of the bright half of the month of Mrigashīrsha, which marks the Shivarathri (Shiva's night) festival. The Mahalakshmi temple as a Shakti Peeth - Daksha Yaga and Sati's self-immolation The aforesaid mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation is the mythology of origin behind the Shakti Peethas. Shakti Peethas are believes to have enshrined with the presence of Shakti due to the falling of body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi, when Lord Shiva carried it and wandered throughout the land in sorrow. There are 51 Shakti Peeth linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. Each temple have shrines for Shakti and Kalabhairava. It is believed that the Neck of Sati Devi has fallen in Srihatta and the Shakti here is addressed as Mahalakshmi and the Kalabhairava as Sambaranand.

USCGC Campbell (WPG-32) was a Secretary-class (also known as ) United States Coast Guard ship built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1935-1936 and commissioned in 1936. Seven similar "combat cutters" were built and named for secretaries of the United States Treasury. Campbell was named for George Washington Campbell. She earned the title "Queen of the Seas" during a 46-year career, spanning World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War. Launch and early service George W. Campbell was launched on 3 June 1936 and sailed to her homeport of Stapleton, New York, under the command of Commander E.G. Rose, USCG, assigned to conduct search and rescue and law enforcement patrols. She left New York on 22 October 1936 for her shakedown cruise to Southampton, England, returning to New York on 16 November. Her peace-time armament consisted of two 51 caliber and two signal guns, all mounted forward. Unlike the other Secretary-class cutters, George W. Campbell and did not continue to carry aircraft, though they had originally been equipped to do so. In August 1937, her official name was shortened to Campbell and it was also during this time that her mascot Sinbad reported aboard. Sinbad remained aboard Campbell throughout her tour of duty during World War II, caused at least two international incidents in foreign harbors, faithfully manned his battle station during combat, and generally kept the crew amused during her long voyages over eleven years; Sinbad died on 30 December 1951, after many years of service, and was the first and one of the few Coast Guardsmen to have a published biography. Wartime duties On 5 September 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed American neutrality in the conflict and ordered the formation of a neutrality patrol by the Navy to report and track any belligerent air, surface, or submarine activity in the waters off the East Coast and in the West Indies. The United States Navy determined that its destroyers were not capable of extended cruises in the North Atlantic and asked that the Coast Guard conduct these patrols. The Coast Guard assigned Campbell to conduct the first Coast Guard neutrality patrol, which were referred to as "Grand Banks Patrols." Campbell would perform five such cruises, each lasting approximately two weeks, the last such cruise returning to New York on 29 January 1940. When prepared for convoy escort duty prior to her sailing for Portugal, workers at the New York Navy Yard added three 51 caliber guns in-line, aft. Her two signal guns that were directly forward of the bridge were replaced with a single 3-inch 50 caliber gun. Her two 5-inch 51 caliber main batteries remained unchanged. Campbell was the first Secretary-class cutter to transfer for duty with the Navy (on 1 July 1941) and the first to sail on escort of convoy duties when she escorted Convoy HX 159 which sailed on 10 November 1941. Campbells permanent station was changed from Stapleton to Boston in February 1942, and she later exchanged a for a gun, installed six more 20 mm guns, substituted two "K" guns for "Y" guns and had splinter protection built around three gun decks, bridge and wheel house. Campbell, along with , were the first U.S. warships equipped with HF/DF, pioneered by the Royal Navy for the fight against the German U-boat fleet. The two cutters had been selected by the Navy to serve as test ships to gain experience with HF/DF, using British FH3 systems (carrying the U.S. designation Type DAR) installed in the American shipyard in Northern Ireland under the supervision of experts from the Admiralty Signals Establishment. As the Royal Navy had already discovered, HF/DF was an important part of combatting the threat posed to Allied convoys by U-boats, and the experience with the interim DAR equipment provided impetus to the U.S. development of its own Type DAQ system. Convoys escorted; 1941 – early 1943 (later convoys not listed) When the British and Canadians assumed full responsibility for convoys in the North Atlantic in mid-1943, the U.S. took control of all mid-Atlantic and Mediterranean convoys, where the cutters faced a constant threat from U-boats and the Luftwaffe. Convoys were especially vulnerable once they cleared Gibraltar. Campbell sailed as an escort for Mediterranean convoys in 1943–1944 and saw considerable action against both U-boats and aircraft, with two incidents in particular of note. U-boat attack, February 1943 On 21 February 1943, Campbell was escorting the 48-ship convoy ON 166 when the convoy was surrounded by a U-boat "wolf pack". and torpedoed and sank whale factory ship N.T. Nielsen Alonso. Dispatched to assist, Campbell rescued fifty survivors and then turned to attack U-753, damaging it so badly that it had to withdraw. Throughout 21 and 22 February, Campbell attacked several U-boats, inflicting damage and driving them off. Later on 22 February, , having sustained heavy damage inflicted by the Polish destroyer , surfaced in the midst of the convoy attempting a surface attack. Campbell struck the U-boat a glancing blow that gashed Campbells hull in the engine room below the waterline, but continued to attack, dropping two depth charges which exploded and lifted the U-boat out of the water. The crew brought all guns to bear on the U-boat, fighting on until water in the engine room shorted out all electricity. As the ship lost power and the searchlights illuminating the U-boat went out, the U-boat's commander ordered the vessel abandoned. Campbell ceased fire and lowered boats to rescue the U-boat's survivors. Campbell, disabled in the attack, was towed to port nine days later, repaired and returned to escort duty. Illustrator Anton Otto Fischer, working for Life magazine, was serving as a lieutenant commander aboard Campbell for this voyage. His series of detailed oil paintings depicting the battle and its aftermath appeared in Lifes 5 July 1943 edition. Luftwaffe attack, May 1944 In April 1944, the Convoy UGS-40, consisting of some 80 vessels, sailed for the Mediterranean, led by Campbell. The escort screen contained three destroyers, six American destroyer escorts from CortDiv 5, and two French destroyer escorts. Due to recent attacks by the Luftwaffe against Allied convoys in the western Mediterranean, UGS-40 sailed with an elaborate air defense plan, formulated by the convoy's screen commander, Comdr. Jesse C. Sowell, aboard Campbell. Practiced in Hampton Roads prior to the convoy's departure and as it crossed the Atlantic, these tactics were designed to meet mass aerial attacks by German aircraft carrying a variety of weapons ranging from bombs, to torpedoes, to radio-controlled glider bombs. Off Gibraltar, UGS-40 acquired additional escorts: British antiaircraft cruiser , the destroyer escort , the destroyer , and two American minesweepers ( and ) carrying special apparatus to jam radar transmissions and thus confuse the German glider bombs. On 9 May 1944, the convoy passed through the Straits of Gibraltar en route to Bizerte, Tunisia, without incident, but two days later detected German "snoopers" trailing the convoy. In the next few hours, ten successive shore-based fighter interception sorties failed to drive off the enemy reconnaissance aircraft. First alerted by shore-based radar, the escort screen went to general quarters at 13:16 on 11 May, beginning the first of five successive alerts. In Campbell, Commander Sowell warned the escorts to be alert to the possibility of a dusk attack. At 20:25, radar noted the approach of enemy aircraft, and Sowell formed the convoy into eight columns apart for maneuvering room. When the enemy was reported north of Cape Corbelin, UGS-40 steered due east, past Cape Bengut. Shortly after sunset, escort ships commenced laying smoke screens, as the German aircraft, a mixed force of Junkers Ju 88s, Heinkel He 111s, and Dornier Do 217s, approached from the stern of the convoy and broke into groups to attack from different points of the compass. The destroyer escorts and friendly fighter craft downed an estimated 17 of the enemy planes, and drove away all the remainder, and the Allied convoy emerged unscathed. Later service After conversion to an Amphibious Command Ship (Type AGC) in the Boston Navy Yard between 4 January and 28 March 1945, Campbell was assigned to duty in the Pacific as an Amphibious Flagship. She sailed from Pearl Harbor for Saipan and arrived on 3 August 1945, sailing again for Manila on 10 August, and Leyte on 19 August. On 1 October 1945 she was anchored at Wakanoura Wan, Honshū, Japan as the flagship for Communications Service Division 103. On 30 October she sailed to Sasebo and stayed until 30 November when she was ordered back to the U.S. In August 1948, Campbell found wreckage from an Air France Latécoère 631 aircraft which had crashed into the Atlantic Ocean with the loss of all 52 people on board. In January 1959, Campbell was one of the ships which answered the distress call of which had struck an iceberg off Greenland. She participated in the search until it was called off on 7 February. Vietnam Campbell was assigned to combat duty in Vietnam from January to July 1968. During Operation Market Time, Campbell destroyed or damaged 105 Viet Cong structures and steamed over in the Vietnamese War Zone. After returning from Vietnam, Campbell was assigned to routine Search-and-Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, Military Readiness, and Ocean Station duties. She was homeported at Governors Island in New York City until 1969 when she moved to Portland, Maine. In 1974 her homeport was again changed, this time to Port Angeles, Washington. There she continued her peacetime duties until decommissioned in 1982. At the time of decommissioning, Campbell was the oldest active continually commissioned vessel in the United States Coast Guard. Sinking USCGC Campbell was sunk on 29 November 1984 as a target in the mid-Pacific Ocean by the United States Navy at coordinates , northwest of Hawaii, and rests at .

Otsego Lake is located in northwest Michigan at , south of the city of Gaylord in Otsego County. The lake spans the boundary between Otsego Lake Township to the south and Bagley Township to the north. Otsego Lake State Park is located on the southeast shore of the lake and Otsego County Park is on the northwest shore. The lake has many private cottages and homes with direct access to the lake and parks. History Otsego Lake was the long-time summer residence of Arthur Compton. Compton received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1927 for his work with X-rays and what later became known as the "Compton effect". During World War II, he was a key figure in the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons. In the late 1950s, noted American architect and Frank Lloyd Wright protege, William Adair Bernoudy, designed Compton's retirement home on the lake directly across from Otsego Lake State Park. Dimensions Otsego Lake is , and long and at its widest. In general, it is a shallow lake averaging about 6–8 feet in most places, with a maximum depth of approximately in a few spots. The bottom shoal composed of sand and light gravel forms many "drop-offs" and holes. The lake is full of vegetation which is submerged at the bottom of the lake with very little floating vegetation. Lake activities There are an abundance of boats that frequent the lake during the busy times of year which bring along many skiers and boarders, as well as many tubing activities. Fisherman can also be seen scattered throughout the lake as well as the occasional seaplane. Fish The following fish can be found in the lake and are subject to fishing: Muskelunge Lake Sturgeon Northern pike Largemouth bass Smallmouth bass Rock bass Bluegill Yellow perch Pumpkinseed sunfish Walleye See also List of lakes in Michigan References Lakes of Michigan Bodies of water of Otsego County, Michigan

The administrator of the Government of Canada () is the title used by the individual performing the duties of Governor General of Canada – the federal viceregal representative – while the office is vacant or its incumbent is otherwise unable to perform his or her duties. The office is defined in the Letters Patent, 1947, which created the office of Governor General in its present-day role. Should it be necessary to fill the position, the chief justice of Canada may act as the administrator, followed by the puisne justices in order of seniority should the chief justice not be able to assume the role. Accordingly, the role is a temporary one meant to serve only during a vacancy in the governor general's office, and is not a title that is consistently held by the chief justice at all times. It is invoked under the terms of a dormant commission. The administrator of Canada represents the Crown in right of the federal government. The office of administrator may also exist in a provincial context, when a lieutenant governor is unable to perform their role representing the Crown in right of a province. Designation The provisions to select the administrator of Canada is outlined in Article VIII of the Letters Patent, 1947, which identifies that the chief justice of Canada assumes the role as administrator should the need arise. In the absence of the chief justice, the senior puisne justice of the Supreme Court of Canada is designated as the administrator of the government. Prior to the Letters Patent, 1947, the administrator of the government was directly appointed by the monarch. An administrator of the government is not required if a governor general is absent for less than 30 days, with the governor general empowered to designate a "deputy governor general" to act on their behalf. Richard Wagner is the most recent person to be designated as the administrator of the Government of Canada. The office is not automatically filled, as the designee must first take the oath of office, which then invokes the dormant commission. Role The administrator of the government is empowered to exercise all of the powers of the governor general as the viceregal representative of the Crown. These may include: giving royal assent to bills passed by the legislature; issuing Orders in Council and making Governor in Council (Administrator in Council) appointments; dissolving Parliament for a general election; summoning Parliament after a general election by way of a proclamation; choosing a prime minister to form government and seek the confidence of the House of Commons; opening each new session of Parliament by reading the Speech from the Throne; providing a recommendation for all spending measures initiated by the House of Commons; and appointing provincial lieutenant governors and various officers, including High Commissioners, Ambassadors and diplomats. Notable instances Sir Lyman Duff served as administrator on two occasions. The first was in 1931, while Duff was still a puisne justice, between the departure of the Marquess of Willingdon for England on January 16, 1931, and the arrival of the Earl of Bessborough on April 4; in this context, on March 12 of that year, he became the first Canadian-born person ever to read a Speech from the Throne to open a session of the Parliament of Canada. After becoming chief justice in 1933, he served a second stint as administrator from February 11 to June 21, 1940, between the death of the Baron Tweedsmuir in office and the appointment of the Earl of Athlone. On February 1, 1952, King George VI approved the appointment of Vincent Massey as the next governor general. The incumbent, Viscount Alexander of Tunis, then left Canada, with Thibaudeau Rinfret becoming administrator until Massey could be sworn in. The King died on February 6, so it was Rinfret who proclaimed Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada. Massey was sworn in on February 28. Following Georges Vanier's death in office in March 1967, Robert Taschereau served as administrator for several weeks until the appointment of Roland Michener. On June 8, 1974, Governor General Jules Léger suffered a stroke. Chief Justice Bora Laskin acted as administrator during that time for approximately six months. Laskin's tenure as administrator included: a six-day royal visit from the Queen Mother; the 30th federal general election; the swearing-in ceremony of the new Cabinet; the opening of the 30th Parliament and the delivery of the Speech from the Throne; bearing witness to the appointment of the Speaker of the Senate; granting Royal Assent to a bill; and naming a deputy administrator. Former chief justice Beverley McLachlin became the administrator for a few weeks in July 2005 when then-governor general Adrienne Clarkson was hospitalized. During that time, McLachlin gave royal assent to the Civil Marriage Act, which legalized same-sex marriages. Richard Wagner was sworn in as administrator in January 2021 following the resignation of Julie Payette over workplace harassment allegations. He served as administrator until Mary Simon was sworn in as Canada's 30th Governor General on July 26, 2021. Provincial administrators As each province has a lieutenant-governor representing the Crown in right of a province, administrators can also be designated on a provincial level, performing all of the functions of the lieutenant-governor in their absence. If a lieutenant-governor cannot act in their role, a Governor in Council appointment designates a provincial administrator. For example, the Governor in Council on the advice of the minister of Canadian heritage issued an Order in Council in 2017 that in the province of Ontario, the chief justice of Ontario and other judges of the courts of Ontario, in order of seniority, can act as the administrator of the Government of Ontario. Unlike federal administrators, provincial administrators “die with the Lieutenant-Governor” and cannot execute the viceregal office during a vacancy.

Port-Royal is a French railway station on the RER B line in Paris. It is located in the 5th arrondissement, not far from its tripoint border with the 6th and 14th arrondissements. It is named after Port-Royal Abbey, Paris. History The station opened on 31 March 1895, as part of the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans extension of the Ligne de Sceaux from Denfert-Rochereau station north to Luxembourg station. The station has a unique architectural style with the station house located above the tracks on a metal footbridge. This particular arrangement was necessary because of a lack of space at the station site. Today, the station house retains its original appearance with its platforms protected by glass canopies, but the ends of the platforms have been extended to accommodate longer trains. Port-Royal station was targeted in the 3 December 1996 Paris RER bombing when an explosive device detonated on the southbound tracks of the station. Four people were killed in the attack.

Ellen Lax (August 27, 1885 – after 1974) was a German industrial physicist who became known through the publication of the three-volume reference work Taschenbuch für Chemiker und Physiker (Handbook for Chemists and Physicists) together with Jean D'Ans. The first volume appeared in 1943, and to this day the so-called "D'Ans-Lax" is widely used as a reference for laboratory work. She also worked on the Landolt-Börnstein table. Life Lax grew up in a wealthy home in Minden, Germany. Her father worked as a manufacturer of biochemical products and a businessman. She completed the higher girls' school and received a late high school diploma in 1910 at the age of 25. She then studied in Berlin and received her doctorate in 1919 from Walther Nernst on electrical conductivity under pressure. Her studies were interrupted by the First World War until 1918, during which time she worked as an X-ray and operating room nurse as well as a bacteriologist and laboratory assistant. Scientific work In 1919, shortly after completing her doctorate, she began working for Osram in Berlin. In 1925, in collaboration with Marcello Pirani, she developed two processes for the production of the interior frosting of light bulbs at the Osramgesellschaft in Berlin, which were patented by the Osram company in 1927. In 1934 she published a detailed article on lighting technology. She worked in Pirani's scientific department until Pirani emigrated in 1936, after which she began work on the Handbook for Chemists and Physicists for Springer-Verlag, to which she had already come into contact through her publications in the Handbuch der Lichttechnik (Lighting Technology Handbook). In 1945 she had to interrupt her work for Springer-Verlag and found a job at the Institute for Teaching Aids Research in the Faculty of Education at Humboldt University. In 1950 she continued to work on the tables for Springer-Verlag. She also contributed to the Handbook of Physics.

Shirley MacLaine Live at the Palace is a 1976 live album by the actress and singer Shirley MacLaine recorded live at New York City's Palace Theatre. The show replicated the success MacLaine had with a similar series of concerts earlier in the year at the London Palladium. The album was reissued on compact disc by DRG Records in April 2002, with new liner notes by Elton John. In the liner notes John wrote that "Seeing is believing and this lady captivated me. Every facet of her act was superb—singing, comedy, dancing and most of all warmth and complete mastery of her audience. The lady is quite simply a lesson in professionalism for any other performer". The British entertainer Paul O'Grady described the album as his favourite in his 2011 memoir The Devil Rides Out.

Wang Jun Yi (; born 1974) is a contemporary Chinese jade sculptor and carving master who was awarded the title of “Chinese Jade Carving Master” in 2006. He is known for incorporating gold, silver and titanium alloy into jade. His works have featured at the Louvre, the National Museum of China, the 2010 Beijing Jewellery Show, the Art Institute of Tsinghua and have been the subject of significant auctions at auction houses such as Christie's and Tian Cheng International. Life and career Wang was born in 1974 in Guilin in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. He graduated from a jewellery art school at the age of 16 and began sculpting jade around the age of 19. In 2011, Wang worked with Italian designer Fulvio Maria Scavia to incorporate jade into European jewellery. In 2012, Wang was the first jade artist to open a solo exhibition at the National Museum of China. In October 2014, Wang embarked on an international tour which included a special exhibition of 50 of Wang's jadeite artworks at the Louvre from 30 October to 3 November 2014. His works featured as part of a promotion of diplomatic relations and culture between China and France. Jade-carving philosophy and style Wang's aim is to give jade a new look, popularity and appeal by challenging the norms of jade art which, for example, have tended to incorporate traditional elements such as the Chinese zodiac. Wang's emphasis lies not on how good a material jade is, but on how one might achieve better artistic design with jade. Wang attributes his emotional connection with jade to the fact that, when Wang was a child, his mother would hide her jade bracelet from Wang by keeping it locked in a drawer. This caused Wang to believe that jade was 'mysterious and forbidden'. This, he says, created in him a hope that one day he would be able to play freely with jade. Notable jade works Some of Wang's signature works include: Ice Butterflies, a combination of 13 jade pieces resembling butterflies and melting ice. Transforming into Butterfly, a butterfly held together by metal threads. The Nile, used for the Louvre exhibition as it resembled the pyramid shape of the museum. The Unlimited Power of Buddhism, a one-meter tall work that combined jade with titanium. "A carved jadeite praying mantis, agate and diamond clip brooch" described by Christie's as a 'very personal interpretation of a universe of taotie masks, dragon and phoenix, salamander and bats emerging from the contrasting qualities and tones of the raw materials' which sold for US$24,799 on 1 June 2005. "Icy lavender jadeite 'miniature buddha' and diamond pendent necklace" Wang has also announced his intention to make 200 jade butterflies to represent all the countries in the world.

Critical response On AllMusic, Andy Kellman gave the album four stars out of five, stating that "she has too much on her mind - and has such an imaginative and proficient way of getting it all out - to truly bail." Glenn Gamboa from Newsday wrote that "It’s a shoot-from-the-hip style given to hits and misses, but when K. Michelle connects, she hits hard." Pitchforks Alfred Soto graded it 7 points out of 10, commenting that "KIMBERLY: The People I Used to Know may lack a thumper like "V.S.O.P." or a slow jam as urgent as "Drake Would Love Me," still her greatest performance, but it continues a remarkable four-album streak." Rachael Scarsbrook of Renowned for Sound gave the album 4 stars out of 5, wrote that "There is enough differentiation to maintain intrigue even if the album is some 20+ tracks long. K Michelle is never one to mince her words, and she’s certainly not going to be changing that any time soon.

He pursued his studies in Technical Economics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) from 2002 to 2007. After he obtained his diploma Lindner continued to work for the Chair of Economic Theory as research assistant until June 2011 which is when he obtained his PhD in Political Economy. Today, Lindner lives in his hometown Wörth am Rhein. Political career Career in local politics Lindner has been a member of the Association of Alliance 90 / The Greens as of 1998. He joined the Grüne Jugend, the Green Party's youth organization, in 1998 and was elected as spokesperson of the Grüne Jugend in the German Federal State of Rheinland-Pfalz in 2000. From 2004 until 2011 Lindner served as the chairman of Germersheim county and community Wörth am Rhein. He has been a member of the county council Germersheim since 2007 and has led the parliamentary party from 2009. From 2009 to 2011 he was member of the city council Wörth am Rhein as well as chairman of the parliamentary county council. He represents Rheinland-Pfalz on the Green Party's national committee. Member of Parliament, 2011–present In June 2011, Lindner became a member of the German Parliament when he filled in the seat of Ulrike Höfken who had previously resigned. He served on the Budget Committee, the Audit Committee and the Defence Committee from 2011 until 2021. On the Budget Committee, Lindner served as his parliamentary group's rapporteur on the budgets of the Federal Ministry of Finance (2014-2017); the Federal Foreign Office (2014-2017); the Federal Court of Auditors (2014-2017); the Federal Ministry of Defence (since 2014); the German Bundesrat (2014–2021); the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (2018); the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (2018–2021); and the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (2018–2021). On the Audit Committee, he covered the budgets of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. From 2018 until 2021, he also has been serving on the so-called Confidential Committee (Vertrauensgremium) of the Budget Committee, which provides budgetary supervision for Germany’s three intelligence services, BND, BfV and MAD. In addition to his committee assignments, Lindner has served as deputy chairman of the German-Irish Parliamentary Friendship Group (2011-2013) and of the German-Canadian Parliamentary Friendship Group (since 2014). In December 2019, Lindner filed a criminal complaint over the erasure of data from a mobile phone owned by Ursula von der Leyen when she was Germany's defense minister, citing suspected deliberate destruction of evidence. In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the 2021 federal elections, Lindner was part of his party's delegation in the working group on foreign policy, defence, development cooperation and human rights, co-chaired by Heiko Maas, Omid Nouripour and Alexander Graf Lambsdorff. Political positions Military procurement When German Defence Minister Thomas de Maizière cancelled the Euro Hawk surveillance drone program, one of the federal government's key defense projects, which failed because it was unable to fulfill the requirements necessary to be certified to fly in German airspace, Linder sharply criticized the government for "the biggest procurement disaster of the last 20 years." Lindner called Germany's nuclear sharing agreement "an expensive, dangerous and antiquated symbolic contribution to have a say within NATO." Relations with the African continent Lindner has in the past voted in favor of German participation in United Nations peacekeeping missions as well as in United Nations-mandated European Union peacekeeping missions on the African continent, such as in Darfur/Sudan (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), South Sudan (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), Mali – both EUTM Mali (2013, 2014 and 2015) and MINUSMA (2013, 2014 and 2015) –, and Liberia (2015). On Somalia, Lindner has a mixed voting record. He initially supported Operation Atalanta (2011) but has since regularly abstained from votes on extending the mandate for the mission (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015). In 2014, 2015 and 2016, he voted against extending the mandate for participation in EUTM Somalia.

Matt McKenna (born August 19, 1975) is an American touring rock bassist known for his work with Jude Cole, Swirl 360, Ultrapull, Jetliner, and House of Lords. An American of Scottish descent, he spends much of his off-time in the UK. Jude Cole In 1997, Matt received a call from WB/Reprise artist Jude Cole to join his newly formed project "Watertown" featuring Jude on vocals/guitars and Michael Lawrence on drums. The band began rehearsals in the fall of 1997, but dissolved the next year as Jude decided to focus more on producing other artists. Swirl 360 In 2001, Matt began working with the pop/rock group Swirl 360 and working on new songs for the film "Van Wilder". In August they performed for Hollywood as part of the International Pop Overthrow. Later that year, Matt parted ways with the group. Jetliner In 2005, Matt joined melodic rockers Jetliner just after the release of the band's second album, "Space Station". The band, known for their 1970s arena rock sound and 5-part harmonies received rave reviews in the European press and was a favorite of Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker. Over the course of the band's lifespan, Jetliner consisted of musicians Adam Paskowitz, Josh Paskowitz, Matt McKenna, Rob Jones, Jordan Lawson, Jeff Kluesner and George Castells. House of Lords In late 2007, Matt received a call from former Geezer Butler Band guitarist Jimi Bell to join House of Lords for their upcoming world tour. Rehearsals began in January 2008, and the group went on to promote the album Come to My Kingdom with dates throughout Europe, United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States.

Domenico Gnoli (3 May 1933 - 17 April 1970) was an Italian painter and stage designer, born in Rome. He studied stage design at the Accademia di Belle Arti, and began a short stint designing stages, for which he was well received. Following this, he spent the better part of his life in New York City, working for magazines such as Sports Illustrated, and Fortune, where he found favour with art director Leo Lionni. He is known most for his work "Orestes or The Art of Smiling". Biography Son of ceramicist Annie de Garrou (1900–1994) and Umberto Gnoli, who was an art historian and superintendent of arts in Umbria, Domenico Gnoli was born in Rome in 1933. His sister Marzia was born the following year. Gnoli's paternal grandfather was the poet and historian of the same name – Domenico Gnoli. His great-aunts were also poets, Teresa and Elena Gnoli. His paternal uncle, Tommaso (1874–1958) was a literary critic and expert on German culture. The cultural influence of his family created in Gnoli, as he grew up, a passion for drawing and painting. Illustrating this, his father sent him a letter, when Gnoli was just 10 years old, that contained architectural lessons. Gnoli spent his first years in Rome and Spoleto. He made a series of surrealist drawings, one of which – depicting a fish in a snail's shell on a couch – is often confused with Edward Gorey's work. Because of his death at the age of 36 from cancer, there are very few mature works by him held in public collections. The vast majority of his major works are held by private collectors in Italy. One estimate places the number of mature paintings at only 140.

The Cross Island Trail is a rail trail in Queen Anne's County, Maryland occupying a section of the abandoned Queen Anne's Railroad corridor that traverses the width of Kent Island. It was completed in 2001 and is part of the American Discovery Trail. Route The trail begins in Terrapin Park, near the foot of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and traverses both Terrapin Park and the adjacent Chesapeake Bay Business Park. It then crosses Love Point Road through the property of Kent Island High School, then into Old Love Point Park. After traversing Old Love Point Park, the trail enters its original section and the former rail bed of the Queen Anne's Railroad. Along the railbed, it goes in a straight path until reaching the end of its original section at Castle Marina Road. After crossing the road, the trail mostly parallels Piney Creek Road and U.S. Route 50, before ending at the Chesapeake Exploration Center in Kent Narrows. A continuation of the trail utilizes the Kent Narrows Bridge on Maryland Route 18 and connects with the rest of the American Discovery Trail.

The Lizard King is a 1988 Australian television film about a woman who comes from France to Australia in search of her son. Production It was one of a series of TV movies that were made as a part of a co production deal between Revcom and ABC. Three were to be made in Australia, three in Europe with Australians; the common theme was to be "sentiment". (The other Australian movies were A Matter of Convenience and Perhaps Love.) The movie was based on an idea by director Geoffrey Nottage. Producer Jan Chapman had just made two telemovies written by Louis Nowra and hired Nowra to write the script. Nowra was reluctant to work on a project that came from someone else's idea but enjoyed collaborating with Chapman and had just read Jules Verne's Mistress Branican which had a similar plot and felt the offer was too serendipitous to refuse. Nowra later said he thought Nottage did a good job as director but was dissatisfied with the limitations of working for television.

The Toccatas for Keyboard, BWV 910–916, are seven pieces for clavier written by Johann Sebastian Bach. Although the pieces were not originally organized into a collection by Bach himself (as were most of his other keyboard works, such as the Well Tempered Clavier and the English Suites), the pieces share many similarities, and are frequently grouped and performed together under a collective title. History The toccatas represent Bach's earliest keyboard compositions known under a collective title. The earliest sources of the BWV 910, 911 and 916 toccatas appear in the Andreas-Bach Book, an important collection of keyboard and organ manuscripts of various composers compiled by Bach's oldest brother, Johann Christoph Bach between 1707 and 1713. An early version of the BWV 912 (known as the BWV 912a) also exists in another collection compiled by Johann Christoph Bach known as the "Möller manuscript", from around 1703 to 1707. This indicates that most of these works originated no later than Bach's early Weimar years, though the early northern-German style indicates possible Arnstadt origin. Composition The works bear an early northern-German influence, with distinct contrasting sections and fugal passages ingrained into the rhapsodic material, as opposed to the more familiar, two-movement prelude and fugue format. Other early Bach works that follow this sectional, Buxtehude-influenced format include the Prelude (Toccata) and Fugue in E major, BWV 566, and Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 551. Though the specific instrumentation is not given for any of the works, they are all strictly manualiter, as none of them call for pedal parts. Like Bach's other clavier works, these toccatas are frequently performed on the piano. Because of some of the organ-like textures, the pieces are sometimes performed on the organ. In fact, the opening motifs of the BWV 912, 914 and 916 toccatas resemble the ones on the BWV 532, 534 and 541 organ preludes respectively.

David William Crowe (18 October 1933 – 12 May 2000) was a New Zealand cricketer who played three first class matches for Canterbury and Wellington between 1953 and 1958. He was the father of New Zealand international Test and One Day International players Martin Crowe and Jeff Crowe; and uncle of the actor Russell Crowe. In Cornwall Park there is a bench where his ashes were scattered, along with his friend Zac, overlooking the ground on which he played for Cornwall Cricket Club, where he also coached, captained and finally was president from 1995 to 1999. Martin Crowe recalled in 2011: “A former county pro, Les Townsend, was once watching dad play at Cornwall and told him harshly ‘You’ll never make a Test cricketer, son’. About 30 years later, dad met up with him again by chance and said: ‘Les, remember when you told me I’d never make a Test cricketer? Well, I made two!"

The Goeree class was a ship class of ten minesweepers that served in the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN) between 1947 and 1956. They were former R boats that served in the Kriegsmarine and German Mine Sweeping Administration. In 1947 they were transferred to the Netherlands as war reparations. Construction and design The ten minesweepers of the Goeree class were originally built as R boats for the German Kriegsmarine. They were built between 1942 and 1944 at the shipyard of Yacht und Bootswerf Burmester in Bremenburg-Swinemünde. In comparison to other Dutch minesweepers in service of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN) at the time, the Goeree class minesweepers were considered small, weighting only on average around 123-150 tons. However, they were quite fast. There were some complaints about the conditions aboard the ships as the accommodation was not really suitable for the average height of Dutch naval personnel and it could also become very hot inside the ship. Service history German Mine Sweeping Administration After having served in the Kriegsmarine during the Second World War the ten minesweepers were used between 1945 and 1947 by the German Mine Sweeping Administration to clear mines in the North Sea and Dutch seaways. During this time the boats were manned by former Kriegsmarine personnel and under Dutch command, however, administratively they fell under the Royal Navy as the boats were in their possession. In 1947 the German personnel aboard the ten minesweepers were sent back to Germany and the boats were transferred via the Central Mine Clearance Board to the Netherlands as war reparations. Royal Netherlands Navy The Netherlands received the ten boats in November 1947 and together they formed the Goeree class in the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN). After being commissioned the minesweepers were assigned to Minesweeping Flotilla 4 (Dutch: Flottieljemijnenvegers 4; FMV 4) and were mainly used to clear German moored contact mines near the Dutch coast. Some of the boats were rebuilt in 1949 by different Dutch shipyards, but they all served until 1956 in the RNN. On 1 February 1957 nine Goeree-class minesweepers were sold to the Dutch firm M. Caranza en Co. from Amsterdam for a total of 378.969 Dutch Guilders, which led to most ships getting scrapped. The remaining ship that was not sold, the Goeree, became an accommodation ship for the boarding school Admiraal van Kingsbergen in Groningen.

The Weisner Covered Bridge was southwest of Catlin, Indiana. The single-span King Post covered bridge structure was built by Joseph A. Britton in 1908 and destroyed by flood in 1957. History Construction Joseph A. Britton built this bridge the same year that he also built the nearby Zacke Cox Covered Bridge and Harry Evans Covered Bridges. It would hold the title as the shortest covered bridge in Parke County until a year later when the Phillips Covered Bridge would tie it for the title. During construction, teams of horses and wagons would bog down in quicksand that lay along the creek bed. To fix this, small herds of cattle were led back and forth across these areas to pack the sand down and make it firm enough to support the horses and wagons. Destruction On June 27 and 28, 1957, the remnants of Hurricane Audrey met up with a front that laid across central Indiana. The resulting rain, 6 to 10 inches, produces record floods across central Indiana and east-central Illinois. Rockville reported 10.15 inches. Big Raccoon Creek report the highest levels since the floods of 1875. Across the area six people were drowned, 1,282 dwellings damaged, 125 businesses were flooded, dozens of highway and railroad bridges were washed out and a million acres of crops were flooded, with thousands of acres of already cultivated land flooded to a depth of 6 feet or more. The Weisner Covered Bridge was washed away when a small dam above the bridge gave way in this massive rainstorm. This quickly filled the Weisner Creek valley with flood water, washing the bridge away and threatening the residents of a nearby house that feared the flood waters would sweep it away also. Since then a larger flood control dam, constructed by the Corps of Engineers, has been constructed upstream from the former site of the Weisner Covered Bridge. However, a study of the new dam reports that if it were to fail and collapse the resulting flood waters would sweep down the Little Raccoon Creek valley and damage houses in Jessup. With this bridge and the Moore Covered Bridge both destroyed in the same flood and an economic downturn in the county, the idea for the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival was born as a way to increase county income and preserve the county's unique covered bridges.

Lublin Główny railway station (Polish Stacja Lublin Główny) is the most important railway station in Lublin, Poland. It was officially renamed to Lublin Główny (Lublin Main) in December, 2019 to distinguish it from other, much smaller stations located in Lublin. The station serves trains running on the four lines radiating from Lublin: north-east to Warsaw, north to Łuków, east to Chełm and the border with Ukraine, and south to Przeworsk. It is one of the busiest stations in eastern Poland, with over 50 train departures on a typical day. History The station building was opened in 1877, together with the Vistula River Railroad, which connected Warsaw with Kovel. At the time Lublin was in the Russian Empire as part of Congress Poland. Following the recreation of Poland in 1918, the station building was reconstructed in the 1920s to give it a more Polish style, as the original building looked like a typical station of the Russian Empire. In recent years the station was completely refurbished. Because of this, it is now considered one of the best railway stations in Poland, according to Gazeta Wyborcza which gave it second place in the ranking of 23 most significant Polish railway stations. The station is linked by rail to the Lublin Airport. Upgrades and modernization In 2011 a modernization of the line north of Lublin to Lubartów started. The 25 km single track section had its maximum speed upgraded to 120 km/h, from previous 30–60 km/h. Once finished, passenger services were restored on it starting from April 2, 2013. In 2017 modernization of the line between Lublin and Warsaw (specifically the section between Lublin and Pilawa) began, with train traffic suspended during construction and trains between Warsaw and Lublin rerouted through Łuków. The lined re-opened for partial service (using only one of the planned two tracks) in December, 2019. Once the upgrades were completed, the trip time between Lublin and Warsaw has been reduced to under 2 hours as of early 2023, with maximum train speed reaching 160 km/h. The goal is to further reduce the travel times to 90 minutes once all the track upgrades are completed around 2027. In 2018-2021 the train platforms of the station have been upgraded. Currently, the Lublin intercity bus terminal is inconveniently located 3 km away from the main railway station, making train-bus transfers difficult. However, there are plans to build a new bus terminal near the train station in the years 2021–2023. The bus terminal and Lublin Main Station will be part of Lublin Metropolitan Integrated Terminal. Construction works are at a very advanced stage. Platforms Number of platforms as of August 15, 2022: Platform 1 - the longest platform adjancent to the station building. It is used for sending long-distance trains towards Radom, Warsaw (and beyond e.g. to Wrocław, Gdynia) and Kiev (via Dorohusk). Platform 1a - It used for sending short long-distance trains in the same directions as platform 1 and local trains to Dęblin. It is ended with a buffer stop. Platform 1b - It used for sending local trains to Zamość, Chełm, and Lublin Airport. Like platform 1a it is ended with a buffer stop. Platform 2 - It have two edges. It used for sending long-distance and local trains towards Stalowa Wola Rozwadów, Rzeszów Główny (and beyond to Kraków Główny, Wrocław Główny), and toward Chełm, Lublin Airport. Platform 3 - It have two edges. It mainly used for sending local trains toward Chełm, Włodawa and Zamość. Types of trains and carriers At Lublin Główny station stops local, express and fast trains (semi-express; train with more stops than express, but fewer than local trains). Local trains are managed by Polregio under the REGIO (R) brand, while express and fast trains are managed by PKP Intercity under the InterCity (IC) and Twoje Linie Kolejowe (TLK) brands. The station is served by the following service(s): Intercity services (IC) Łódź Fabryczna — Warszawa — Lublin Główny Intercity services (IC) Kołobrzeg - Piła - Bydgoszcz - Warszawa - Lublin - Hrubieszów Intercity services (TLK) Lublin Główny — Świnoujście'' References External links Railway stations in Poland opened in 1877 Railway stations in Lublin Voivodeship Buildings and structures in Lublin Railway stations served by Przewozy Regionalne InterRegio 1877 establishments in the Russian Empire
Mount Carmack is a prominent mountain summit located in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated north-northeast of Skagway, and south of Mount Cleveland, on land managed by Tongass National Forest. As the highpoint on the divide between the Taiya River and the Skagway River, precipitation runoff from the mountain drains east into the Skagway River and west into Taiya River, both of which empty into Taiya Inlet. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant since Mount Carmack rises 6,800 feet above the Taiya valley in less than , and 5,800 feet above Skagway valley in about 2 miles. Mount Carmack has a lower subsidiary summit, elevation , about to the northeast of the true summit. The USGS map has this lower northeast peak labelled as Mount Carmack. History This mountain was named in 1898 by John A. Flemer of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, undoubtedly for George Carmack (1860–1922), whose discovery of large gold nuggets at Bonanza Creek in 1896 resulted in the Klondike Gold Rush. The Chilkoot Trail, a route which was used by thousands heading to the goldfields, skirts along the western base of this mountain, whereas the Klondike Highway traverses the eastern base of the mountain. Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is located on both sides of the mountain, but the peak is not within the park boundary. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Carmack has a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Coast Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports glaciers on all slopes surrounding the summit. The months May through July offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing Mount Carmack.

In music, the major Neapolitan scale and the minor Neapolitan scale are two musical scales. Both scales are minor, in that they both contain the note a minor third above the root. The major and minor Neapolitan scales are instead differentiated by the quality of their sixth. The sequence of scale steps for the Neapolitan minor is as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A B C D E F G A [H, W, W, W, H, WH, H C D E F G A B C] And for the Neapolitan major: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A B C D E F G A [H, W, W, W, W, W, H C D E F G A B C] The scales are distinguished from the harmonic and ascending melodic minor scales by the lowered supertonic or second scale degree. This could also be known as the "Phrygian harmonic minor" or "Phrygian melodic minor." The scale therefore shares with the Phrygian mode the property of having a minor second above the tonic. Both are accompanied well by power or minor chords. The 4th mode of the Neapolitan major, also known as the Lydian Dominant 6 scale, is an excellent choice for the 911/13 (no 5) chord. Said mode contains all the alterations plus the 5. A whole tone scale is often used but that mode tends to be minus the 5 that the Lydian Minor contains. The 5th mode of the Neapolitan major is also known as the major Locrian scale. Modes The scale contains the following modes: {\| class="wikitable" \|- ! align="center" \| Mode ! align="center" \| Name of scale ! colspan="8" align="center" \| Degrees ! colspan="8" \|Notes (on C Neap.

Vaiden High School was a public middle and high school in Vaiden, Mississippi. It was a part of the Carroll County School District It occupies a property, and is in a three story classroom building. History Prior to 1941, grades 1-12 occupied three buildings made of wood. Its current building, then for grades 1–12, opened in 1941 in the same plot which once held the wooden buildings, making it the first 1-12 consolidated school in southern Carroll County. Theresa Vigour of The Conservative stated that Vaiden "is one of the smallest [schools] in the state." Circa 1996 officials from the Mississippi Department of Education had discussed requiring small schools to consolidate, something that, along with the expense of renovating schools to add technology, prompted Carroll County school district officials to seek consolidation. In 1999 Vaiden High consolidated into J. Z. George High School in North Carrollton. The district used teacher evaluations to determine which teachers got jobs at the consolidated Vaiden High, with seniority used as a tiebreaker. Teachers who were not placed at the new J. Z. George worked at other schools or retired. The Vaiden city government paid $2 in June 2002 to buy much of the Vaiden High property, including a double wide trailer that was once used as a cafeteria, the agricultural classes building, and the home economics building. The school district retained the gymnasium as students at J. Z. George use it for athletic activities. In 2003 the Mayor of Vaiden, George Turbeville, stated that he wanted to institute supplementary educational programs. In 2003 Mississippi state authorities declared it a historic landmark. At one time Billy Joe Ferguson, who later became superintendent of Carroll County schools, was principal at Vaiden High. Shirley Frizell was the final principal of the school. In early April 1988, the gymnasium was used to house production wardrobe, hairstyling and makeup for extras performing in Mississippi Burning, for courtroom and sheriff's office scenes filmed in the old Carroll County Courthouse nearby (demolished a few years later) and for scenes of a funeral procession down Mulberry Street in front of the offscreen courthouse. Curriculum The overall curriculum in Carroll County High Schools was applied to both Vaiden and George highs. In 1999 the school offered one foreign language, Spanish. Athletics In 1972 the school terminated its American football team. The school gained prowess in basketball, and it went to the Mississippi state tournament in 1999. Ferris Jenkins, athletic coach of the district, stated in 1999 that "Vaiden's always had good basketball" and that "Vaiden's always had good athletes."

The 2018 Breeders' Cup Classic was the 35th running of the Breeders' Cup Classic, part of the 2018 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships program. It was run on November 3, 2018, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky with a purse of $6,000,000. It was won by Accelerate, who earned his fifth Grade I win of the year. The race was broadcast on NBC with a scheduled post time of 5:44 PM (EDT). The Classic is run on dirt at one mile and one-quarter (approximately 2000 m). It is run under weight-for-age conditions, with entrants carrying the following weights: Northern Hemisphere three-year-olds: 122 lb Southern Hemisphere three-year-olds: 117 lb Four-year-olds and up: 126 lb Any fillies or mares receive a 3 lb allowance Contenders Pre-entries for the 2018 Classic were announced on October 24 with the post position draw held on October 29. The field for the 2018 Classic was weakened when the likely Horse of the Year, Justify, was retired in July. Justify won the American Triple Crown and his connections were hoping to complete the Grand Slam of Thoroughbred racing by also winning the Classic. However, a slight injury derailed those plans. Good Magic, winner of the Haskell Invitational and the 2017 champion two-year-old, was also retired due to injury. The connections of another leading contender, Whitney Stakes winner Diversify, opted to bypass the Classic when his trainer, Rick Violette, became ill and subsequently died. In their absence, the race was considered highly competitive. Nineteen horses were pre-entered on October 24, though several of those had first preference in other races on the Breeders' Cup card. The leading contenders included: Accelerate, with two 2018 Breeders' Cup Challenge series "Win and You're In" wins in the Pacific Classic and Awesome Again West Coast, second in the Awesome Again, Dubai World Cup and Pegasus World Cup McKinzie, winner of the Pennsylvania Derby Catholic Boy, with Grade I wins on both turf and dirt in the Belmont Derby and Travers Stakes respectively Discreet Lover, winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup Thunder Snow, winner of the 2018 Dubai World Cup and second in the Jockey Club Gold Cup Mendelssohn, winner of the UAE Derby and third in the Jockey Club Gold Cup Pavel, winner of the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs in July Yoshida, winner of the Woodward Stakes after previously racing exclusively on turf Gunnevera, second in the Woodward Roaring Lion, with four Group I wins in Europe on the turf Race description A poor start resulted in the horses with inside posts (Thunder Snow, Roaring Lion, Catholic Boy, Gunnevera) all being bumped and losing position. Yoshida and Lone Sailor also broke poorly and settled at the back of the pack. On the other hand, Mendelssohn broke well from post position nine and worked his way to the rail. He took the lead going into the first turn over McKinzie, with West Coast and Thunder Snow close behind. Accelerate, who broke from the outside post position, was urged by jockey Joel Rosario to get early position, then rated in fifth place around the first turn and down the backstretch. After starting his move down the far turn, he drew by Mendelssohn at the top of the stretch, then turned back a bid from Thunder Snow. Gunnevera mounted a late charge to take second place, a length behind Accelerate. Accelerate's trainer John Sadler earned his first win at the Breeders' Cup in 45 attempts spread out over 30 years. "I'm thrilled", said Sadler. "In order to get the big one, you couldn't ask for a better day." With the win, Accelerate solidified his chances to win the Eclipse Award for Champion Older Male Dirt Horse, and sparked a debate in the Horse of the Year category. Accelerate won five Grade I races over the year, compared to four such wins for Justify. Justify's wins included the American Triple Crown, while Accelerate became the first horse to win the Santa Anita Handicap, Gold Cup at Santa Anita, Pacific Classic and Awesome Again, in addition to the Breeders' Cup Classic. "This horse (Accelerate) is special. He's showed up every time. He's danced every dance. He's been solid", said his owner Kosta Hronis. "This is Horse of the Year. It's a body of work, and what he has done in the last 12 months, I think he's well deserved to be of that honor. There's no doubt." Antonio Sano was equally proud of his trainee, Gunnevera. "He ran second and had lost a couple lengths at the start", he pointed out. "They sandwiched my horse. Every time we are closer and closer to winning a grade 1. He's going to race in 2019 and will point to the Pegasus." That race is also under consideration for Accelerate, who will then head off to stud.

Progetto K Automodelli, or sometimes simply referred to as PK ("Project K" in English), was an Italian diecast model company. Brands produced were usually Italian cars of the 1950s through the 1970s. Most models were diecast in plastic or resin – some had diecast bases and some were plastic. Though earlier models were made in Rome, the company's main factory was eventually moved to Sesto Fiorentino, a village just to the north of Florence in Firenze. The first models were made about 1977; the last about 2011. History in resin Progetto K was started by Fabrizio Petrucci who has previously made a variety of hand-crafted models in resin under the name King Model produced in the Centocelle region of Rome in the 1970s. Petrucci is recognized as among the earlier modelers to make 1:43 scale cars for the collectible market. King Model produced Italian auto subjects mainly from the 1930s through the 1950s, and were usually early Alfa Romeos and FIATs. Some King Model selections were: the Fiat 1500, 1500E musone, 1100, 1100 BLR taxi, 508L, 500C, 508C long tail, 500C wagon, 1900B granluce, Alfa Romeo 2300B, 8C 2300, and a Lancia Aurelia B24 spider. About 1977, Petrucci started Progetto K and started the mass production of models in resin and metal. The early factory was on the east side of Rome just inside the A90 beltway. Later, production was moved to Sesto Fiorentino on the north side of Florence. Even as mainly a small family business, PK became nearly as accomplished in output as the metal diecast model makers Rio Models, Brumm or Vitesse Models. Yet the location of Progetto K in central Italy is not typical as most accomplished diecast and collectible model makers originated in the industrial north usually in the vicinity of greater Milan. Model selections Models produced by Progetto K were most often Italian brands such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat (and Spanish SEAT), Lancia, Autobianchi, Ferrari, and Maserati mainly from the 1950s through the 1980s, but considering paint and livery variations, Alfa Romeo seemed to be the favorite brand offered, particularly the Giulia sedan and wagon and Bertone 2000 GTA. Some of these were selections in Petrucci's previous King Model line, but more models and variations were gradually added to the Progetto K line. The following are most of Progetto K's offerings. Alfa Romeos offered were the 1950s 2 van, 1960s F12 van (high top and normal roof), Giulia sedan, wagon, and panel versions; 1960s GTA, 2000 Berlina sedan, 1970s Alfetta 2000 sedan and GTV coupe, 1977 Giuletta Stradale, and the 1980s model 75 sedan. FIAT models were the 1950s 1100 sedan, 238 van, 600D and 750D two doors, 600 Abarth, 600 Seat (Spain) car based utility van, 600 van, 1960s 850 sport coupe, Abarth 1300, Campagnola (with and without canvas top), Dino Spyder Stradale, and 1970s Ritmo. Ferraris appearing were two: the 1958 250 TR coupe and 225 roadster. The only Lancia seen consisted of variations on the Fulvia coupe from the mid-1960s through the 1970s, The only Maserati offered was the Tipo 61 'Birdcage', and the only Autobianchis were the 1957 Bianchina cabriolet and coupe. Marketing Similar to Brumm, Progetto K made selected models in many many racing, promotional, fire, fire prevention, Red Cross, polizia and Carabinieri liveries. Some of their most endearing and clever models were their Fiat and Alfa Romeo race assistance cars and trucks with tires, parts, fuel drums and other items on their roofs. In the 1970s, Progetto K resin pieces were limited to about 200, but during the 1980s, PK entered mass production and the international market. Some of these models were resin and some were diecast. Since about the year 2000, many liveries have been offered – now between 1,000 and 2,000 pieces each. Models were often praised but at prices between $40.00 to $50.00, some complained that detail was not as good as Brumm or others. Some models seemed spot on in detail and proportion, while others suffered from an incomplete or slightly rubbery look. Still, today many Progetto K models can had on eBay below $20.00 and while early models can be rare, most are relatively easy to acquire. Many colorful catalogues were produced displaying complete offerings available. Progetto K models were intended for collectors only and earlier boxes advised that they were not for children younger than 14. A few of the later models said the cars were not even suitable for those younger than 16! The proscription seems harsh, but the statement of the sub-text here is, 'we're serious, these are not toys'. Model details Early Progetto K models were resin, but as time passed, materials were used in different ways. The Maserati Tipo 61 'Birdcage' had a heavy diecast body with a rather thin plastic base. The body for this model is very well finished and proportioned, but thickly molded and not at all delicate (a contrast to the thin light skin of the real car!). The 'Birdcage' tubing protruded (like the real car) back into the cockpit and the seats were simply pressed into place on plastic pegs on the chassis. Realistic side pipes on the passenger side, roll bar, and gas cap adorn the body. Headlights were mercifully made of clear plastic, so they have a very authentic look (no 'jewels' here). Some of the body vent detail is done with decals and could look better. The tires on earlier models were nicely made out of rubber and the 'wire' wheels had deeper shaded indentations around the wires that was satisfying. Contrast this with the later Ferrari 225S convertible. In a reversal, its body was resin while the base was diecast. The Ferrari's seats are part of the diecast metal chassis molding and they protrude up into the cockpit, one supposed this saved on the production of extra plastic parts, but then why not just make the whole model in detailed plastic? Wheels are again a wire design, but not as deeply molded and not as realistic as those on the Maserati. The tires are a hard plastic – no rubber here. Headlights, again a plus, are done in a detailed manner with delicate clear plastic lenses on top of plastic bezel bases. Some of the trim, like the chrome striping used for the rocker panels just looks like what it is – stuff stuck on. The change in materials seems to indicate cost cutting with the passage of time. Over the decades less metal was used and less rubber. Plastic became more prominent and some of the detailing suffers. Earlier models had better packaging with hard clear plastic cases put into cardboard containers often with an information card. Early box colors were blue with white lettering or yellow with black lettering. Later boxes were simpler flimsier cardboard in a cream tone with blue lettering and plastic paper windows. By that time, the hard plastic clear acrylic display boxes were apparently no longer offered. Economic downturn What started in the 1970s as a family owned business and one of the earliest experiments with collector diecast ended in July 2011, a casualty of the global economic downturn. Finances became difficult and the firm ceased production. At this time Progetto K had become part of the Pego Italia Group which also made Portuguese Exem, PinKo, and Mamone. Still, the company was one of the last lower cost, mass production trending model companies to continue production in Europe when most others had closed their doors, gone ultra expensive or moved to Asia.
