2015 Hugo Awards controversy
In July 2015, in the midst of the "Sad Puppies/Rabid Puppies" controversy, Antonelli (whose nomination for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story was part of both "Puppies" slates for the Hugo ballot) wrote a letter to the Spokane Police Department telling them to be on the lookout for World science fiction convention Guest of Honor David Gerrold (who was scheduled to be master of ceremonies at the award ceremony in Spokane) as a person who may incite violence calling him "insane and a public danger and needs to be watched when the convention’s going on."
Antonelli later apologized, and Gerrold accepted the apology, saying "Let's put this one to bed, once and for all. Lou Antonelli did something dumb. People were outraged. Someone who cared about him held up a mirror and he recognized he was (in his words) turning into his own crazy uncle. He apologized. I'm satisfied that his apology was sincere. And that should be the end of it."
Personal life
He was married to Patricia (Randolph) Antonelli, a Dallas native.
Antonelli died suddenly at the age of 64 at his residence in Clarksville, Texas.

Pauline Polaire (stage name of Giulietta Gozzi) was an Italian actress.
Giuletta Gozzi was born in Ravenna, Italy, on 30 June 1904. She was the niece of the Italian actress Hesperia, née Olga Mambelli. She died in Rome on 11 February 1986.
The similarity of her name with that of French actress Polaire has given rise to some confusion in their filmographies in sites specialized in cinema.

The Occupy Wall Street protests, which started in 2011, inspired a wide international response. There have been hundreds of Occupy movement protests worldwide over time, intended and organized as non-violent protest against the wealthy, as well as banking institutions. Months before the Occupy movement began, the Movimiento 15-M planned to hold events in many nations on October 15, 2011. The Occupy movement joined in and also held many events in many nations on that day. A list of proposed events for the 15 October 2011 global protests listed events in 951 cities in 82 countries. Protest camps were built at many of the protest locations, often near banking institutions or stock markets. Many locations had further manifestations at the following weekends until "Guy-Fawkes" day since the Guy Fawkes mask had become protester fashion. Many American Occupy groups were active until 2012, some are still active.
On the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Movement (September 17, 2012), The Guardian published the "Occupy Directory"'s "map of the Occupy world".

Traffic School by Improv is an American company that provides behavior-based driver education, traffic school, defensive driving programs, and workplace safety courses. The company employs the educational entertainment "edutainment" approach to teaching, which combines education with entertainment. The company claims that some of their courses "have shown a statistical improvement in reducing crashes and moving violations."
Company
Traffic School by Improv was recognized on Inc. magazine's list of fastest-growing private companies in America from 2012 until 2016. It was identified by the Los Angeles Business Journal as one of the top 100 fastest-growing private companies in 2015. Traffic School by Improv's headquarters is in Woodland Hills, California. the company has a 4.7-star (out of 5) overall-satisfaction rating on ShopperApproved.com.
Traffic School by Improv is one of several companies owned by Interactive Education Concepts, Inc. Established in 1994, Interactive Education Concepts also operates courses for drivers of all experience levels. Corporate fleet training and driving school partnerships exists under IMPROVLearning. Adult driver education, insurance discount, and court referred traffic citation courses exist under myIMPROV. Teen driver education and parent driver education resources can be found through DriverZ.
History
Traffic School by Improv was founded in 1980 by a Ukrainian-born entrepreneur, Gary Alexander, and the owner of the Hollywood Improv Comedy Club, Budd Friedman as Improv the Comedy Club Presents Traffic School. Early classes were held at the comedy club itself, on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Free passes to comedy shows at the club were given to students.
Courses
Traffic school and defensive driving
Traffic School by Improv is approved by various state jurisdictions to administer defensive driving courses. The courses, which may allow traffic offenders to have tickets waived, fines reduced, or penalty points eliminated, are intended both to entertain and to educate. In some states, auto insurance rates may also decrease. They offer Family Feud-style games for students, and graduation parties for students who successfully complete the course.
The company is one of several comedy traffic schools in California. The New Yorker magazine has attributed their success in California to "environmental factors: an exceedingly car-rich urban sprawl and one of the world's largest populations of out-of-work actors." Comedy traffic schools help actors working outside of show business make ends meet. According to Alexander, the company "use[s] humor to deliver a very important message."
The company also operates in states which prohibit "gimmicks or enticements, such as comedy or free gifts." In those states, the company operates as the American Institute for Public Safety with non-comic instructors. The company also offers classes online in partnership with Education Location, but most users who choose the online option choose a text-only version rather than streaming video of a comedian.
OSHA-compliance and workplace training
In 2014, Improv added a new website, www.ImprovSafety.com that offers safety training for employers. The courses, which are constructed with the same Improv principles used in their driver education courses, include the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliant Don't be a Derk, starring Pamela Anderson and Kato Kaelin.
Drivers education and insurance discount courses
While most customers who take a class are not novice drivers, the company also offers drivers education and insurance reduction courses.

Liftoff! is a board game published by Task Force Games in 1989 that simulates the international space race to land astronauts on the moon during the mid-20th century.
Description
Liftoff! is a four-player game in which players direct the space programs of the U.S., the Soviet Union, a European consortium and an unnamed Asian country. Each player attempts to turn their space program budget — which fluctuates due to successes and failures as well as public opinion and event cards — into a successful space program.
The first step, set in the 1950s, is to use research and development (R&D) to launch a safe rocket that places a satellite in orbit. Players then progress through the historical sequence of test programs — Mercury/Vostok, Gemini/ Voskhod, Apollo/Soyuz. During the game, each director must make decisions about mission details, for example, what type of lunar lander to develop, or what type of hardware and what type of orbit to use to get from Earth to the Moon. Each director must also decide on the pace of development. As critic Rony Reichhardt noted, "In most cases, the prudent thing to do is to go slowly and invest in the research that improves your chance of succeeding. But you can rush your missions if you want; it simply costs more money and reduces your safety margins."
There are also optional rules for espionage, diplomacy, rescues, and bartering with opponents.
The first player to successfully negotiate all of the test missions, land astronauts on the moon and return them safely to Earth is the winner.
Publication history
Liftoff! was created by Fritz Bronner and was published by Task Force Games with artwork by Ken Hodges, Gary A. Kalin, and Todd Winter. The game was released at Origins Game Fair 1989, but did not find an audience, and by January 1990, copies were being offered for sale at a deep discount. The game quickly disappeared, and Task Force Games showed no interest in picking up an option to buy the rights from Bronner.
Later in 1990, Bronner recruited a 22-year-old programmer, Michael McCarty, and together they redeveloped the board game into an MS-DOS video game. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin became a consultant, and the game was released in 1993 as Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space.
Reception
In Issue 13 of the British magazine Games International, Mike Siggins was not sure what to make of the game when he first opened the box: "Although the materials are workable and reasonably well designed, there are very few of them and they lie forlornly at the bottom of the box. The map is one of the smallest I’ve seen, the cards depicting the hardware and astronauts are rather flimsy and the record sheets could be clearer." However, when Siggins started to play the game, he was pleasantly surprised, writing, "The system is cleverly designed and if the subject interests you there is a real sense of achievement at the end of a mission." Siggins concluded by giving the game a high rating of 8 out of 10, writing, "I know deep down that it is not going to appeal to everyone, yet there is definitely something there that triggered my interest. I suppose it is best described as a game in which to participate rather than play, like being involved in an unfolding story."
In Final Frontier: The Magazine of Space Exploration, Tony Reichhardt felt that the game succeeded for the most part in translating the space program to a game board. However, he compared the level of complexity to that of a monster board wargame, and warned "Liftoff! does require an investment of time and concentration." However, Reichhardt noted that "once play begins, Liftoff! makes for an absorbing time." He concluded, "It all rings true, in more ways than one. Despite all the strategizing, a lot of times it seems to come down to a roll of the dice. Which, come to think of it, is probably the way NASA managers feel sometimes."
In Issue 13 of The Escapist, Allen Varney called the game system "innovative, balanced and highly replayable, but complex and extremely hard to win." He concluded, "You face the same choices the United States and the USSR faced, and in making decisions you start to understand why history played out as it did."

Seimetz began her film career by producing and directing short and independent films, including Barry Jenkins' Medicine for Melancholy, which was nominated for Gotham and Independent Spirit Awards after playing at South By Southwest and the Toronto International Film Festival. She acted in Joe Swanberg's Alexander The Last, which premiered at SXSW. She also worked with Swanberg on Silver Bullets and Autoerotic, continuing with acting roles in Gabi on the Roof in July, Tiny Furniture, Open Five, and The Myth of the American Sleepover.
Seimetz's performance in A Horrible Way to Die won her the Best Actress award at Fantastic Fest. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to good reviews. She appeared in The Off Hours. About her, the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Every year, the Sundance Film Festival has a semi-official 'it girl' who encapsulates the festival's cocktail of discovery and buzz. But what about someone who embodies the independent film world's sense of community and the pitch-in spirit of collaboration, something like a most valuable player? That prize might well go to Amy Seimetz."
The Hollywood Reporter singled Seimetz out as one of the breakouts of Sundance that year: "As a late-night truck-stop waitress and orphaned lost soul, Seimetz invests Off Hours' dead-end world of tiny tragedies with a hidden, hard-won strength." She appeared in Revenge for Jolly!. In 2012, she made her feature directorial debut with the Florida-based thriller Sun Don't Shine, which she also wrote, produced, and co-edited. The film premiered at South By Southwest to rave reviews. Indiewire wrote: "Her terrific directorial debut was a brilliant noir exercise with less mumbling than raw brawls. She pinned me to my Alamo Drafthouse seat and the film kept me there for the next 82 minutes."
Seimetz is the star of Upstream Color and Pit Stop, both of which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. In February, she was added as a series regular to AMC's series The Killing. In season 3, she plays Danette Leeds, a "hard-living, financially strapped single mother whose 14-year-old daughter goes missing".
In June 2014, Starz announced that they had ordered a 13-episode anthology series of the film The Girlfriend Experience, co-written, co-directed, and executive produced by Seimetz and Lodge Kerrigan. This came after the film's creator Steven Soderbergh stated: "I think if I were going to run a studio I'd just be gathering the best filmmakers I could find and sort of let them do their thing within certain economic parameters. So I would call Shane Carruth, or Barry Jenkins or Amy Seimetz and I'd bring them in and go, OK, what do you want to do?" The series was later renewed for a second season, and Seimetz continued to produce, write, and direct episodes.
In 2017, Seimetz appeared in Alien: Covenant, directed by Ridley Scott, and also had roles in Lean on Pete, directed by Andrew Haigh, and My Days of Mercy, opposite Elliot Page. In 2018, Seimetz starred opposite Molly Shannon in Wild Nights with Emily directed by Madeleine Olnek. That same year, Seimetz directed two episodes of Atlanta, and had a recurring role on the second season of Get Shorty.
In 2019, Seimetz starred in Pet Sematary, an adaption of the novel of the same name by Stephen King. She directed She Dies Tomorrow, starring Kate Lyn Sheil and Jane Adams, which was set to have its world premiere at South by Southwest in March 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Seimetz co-starred in 2020's The Comey Rule, a miniseries for Showtime, and the thriller film The Secrets We Keep directed by Yuval Alder.
In 2021, Seimetz was announced as the director and an executive producer of The Idol; however, by April 2022 she had left the project amid its creative overhaul, with roughly 80% of the series already filmed. Her material was not used in the final project.
Personal life
In 2016, Seimetz was engaged to filmmaker Shane Carruth, though they had separated by 2019. She later obtained a temporary restraining order against him, alleging years of emotional, mental, and physical abuse, which Carruth denies. In 2020, Seimetz was granted a restraining order against Carruth that will expire in August 2025.

, also known as Tenchi Muyo! RPG, is a Japanese role-playing strategy game developed by Banpresto for the Super Famicom, released on October 27, 1995. It was licensed by AIC and the now former Pioneer LDC. While Tenchi Muyou! Game Hen was never officially translated and released for international consoles, the latter dumped ROM image of the game was hacked and translated into English on two occasions. Lina`chan, Nuku-Nuku & Filia's Translations, or LNF, released their functional iteration in 2000, albeit some bugs and textual imperfections.
Gameplay
Tenchi Muyou! Game Hen is a turn-based game played from an isometric perspective. The game focuses entirely on fighting monsters within progressive worlds, all of which contain linear paths with predetermined battles. As such, the player does not freely roam or interact with the world.
There are a total of 12 playable characters in the game: Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Mihoshi, Sasami, Shitsuki, Ryo-Ohki, Katsuhito, Yukinojyo, Azaka, Kamidake and Washu. The player starts with the beginning four, acquires the subsequent two later, and, by visiting more varied locations, can acquire the remaining six. In prototypical role-playing fashion, each character has different movements, skills, personal advantages, attacking power, health and defense. Unlike the commonly instituted experience points system, however, characters level up by the accumulated number of monsters they defeat in battles. There is a cap of eight levels that each player character can earn. Up to four characters can be brought into combat at once and matches continue until all members of either side are eliminated.
Synopsis
Setting and plot
Like the other mediums of the series, Tenchi Muyou! Game Hen begins on the Masaki residence, progressively branching from the property to spacecraft and other planets. The characters Shitsuki and Kusumi, new to the franchise, make an only appearance in the game.
On an otherwise ordinary sunny morning, Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Mihoshi and Ryo-Ohki sit to breakfast as Sasami finishes serving food. Realizing that Washu is not present, Sasami and Ryo-Ohki go to fetch her. Shortly after leaving, the house begins to wavily glow; ghastly monsters appearing in the hall.
Fighting and defeating the intruders, the group is approached by Shitsuki, a mysterious girl who explains the obscure reason for her visit: test and measure the strengths of everyone. All but Ryoko take her objective with any real care until Shitsuki presents Sasami as a hostage, garnering the now dire attention of the group. Acting the sportsman however, Shitsuki agrees to surrender her captive in return for any one of the group injuring her in a fight. Much to her angst, Shitsuki loses; refusing to go through with her end of the deal. She offers the group a future rematch as compensation and, leaving them with her next location, teleports Sasami and herself to her outbound spaceship.

Sassafras randaiense is a species of deciduous tree in the family Lauraceae belonging to the genus Sassafras. It is a relict species endemic to Taiwan. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Classification
Sassafras randaiense is treated by some botanists in a distinct genus as Yushunia randaiensis (Hayata) Kamikoti, though this is not supported by recent genetic evidence, which shows Sassafras to be monophyletic.
Description
Sassafras randaiense is a medium-sized deciduous tree. The leaves are alternate, rhomboid-ovate, 10–15 cm long and 5–6 cm broad, and are glabrous above and glaucous beneath. The leaf shape is variable, with most leaves simple (entire) without lobes, but 2 to 3-lobed leaves can be found on some trees, a feature it shares with the North American species S. albidum and †S. hesperia. The leaves of S. randaiense have an acute apex, and the leaf base is acute or obtuse. The flowers are hermaphroditic and subterminal, in panicles that are 3 cm long. The fruits are globose, 6–7 mm across, and are attached on a thickened pedicel 2.5–3 cm long. Flowering occurs usually in February with fruit maturing in October. S. randaiense is found in broad-leaved forests from 900 to 2,400 m throughout the island of Taiwan.
Distinguishing characteristics from Sassafras albidum
Along with Sassafras tzumu, Sassafras randaiense is distinguished from the North American Sassafras albidum and extinct Sassafras hesperia by some important characteristics, including that they may have both male flowers and female flowers on the same tree, while the North American species are dioecious (individual plants bear only male or only female flowers). Molecular data also shows some differences between the Chinese and North American species.

Distilleries in Canada are distillers of various alcoholic distilled beverages (spirits) such as whisky, rum, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. in the country of Canada.
History
Canada's first recorded distillery was established in Quebec City in 1769. By the 1840s over 200 distilling licences had been registered in the country, and Canada was gaining recognition as a producer of high quality whisky.
Operating distilleries
Liquors produced
The modern Canadian distilling industry produces a variety of spirits (e.g. whisky, rum, vodka, gin, liqueurs, spirit coolers, and basic ethyl alcohol), but Canada's primary reputation, domestically and internationally, remains for the production of Canadian whisky, a distinctive rye-flavoured, high quality whisky. The product is distilled from cereal grains (rye and corn primarily), aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years, then bottled or sold in bulk. Canadian whisky captures one-quarter of the total Canadian spirits market and is the only Canadian distilled spirits product which is "appellation protected", meaning that by law it can only be produced in Canada.

Skua Island () is an island immediately northeast of Prion Island in the entrance to the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. Charted in 1912-13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy. Surveyed in 1929-30 by DI personnel and named in association with Albatross Island, Prion Island and other natural history names given in the Bay of Isles by Murphy in 1912–13.
Rescue Rock () is a submerged rock marked by breakers, 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) northeast of Skua Island. It was charted in 1930 by DI survey personnel. So named because a whale catcher passing near this rock sighted a flag on Skua Island, eventually leading to the rescue of the survey party at Camp Bay where their vessel had run aground.

PragerU Kids is the children's division of the conservative media organisation PragerU, created by Dennis Prager and kickstarted with venture capital from fossil fuel billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks. PragerU Kids came to wider media attention in the United States following the state of Florida's decision to allow PragerU Kids videos to be shown in the state's schools.
Much of the content of PragerU Kids has come under scrutiny of media experts and educators, with examples being given of PragerU Kids videos which downplay the harm of Slavery in the United States, distort the history of the American Civil War, demonize the Black Lives Matter movement, and attempt to analogize open climate change denial with the Warsaw Uprising. Other messages within PragerU Kids videos include attempts to morally justify the British colonisation of India under the pretext of spreading Christianity, attack Canada's national healthcare service, and defend Israel against allegations of human rights abuses. In one PragerU Kids video, George Floyd, an American man who was murdered by a police officer who knelt on his neck, was described by PragerU Kids primarily as a "Black man who resisted arrest.” Some of the episodes are narrated by conservative media personalities Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
Leo & Layla series
One of the video series released by PragerU Kids, titled Leo & Layla, features a pair of children who travel back in time to meet historical figures. Several of the videos in this series attempt to both defend and downplay the horrors of slavery. In one video, the titular protagonists Leo & Layla meet Christopher Columbus who then defends slavery and demonises the native people of America.

Won Kwang-hwa was one of the earliest students of Korean hapkido under the founder of the art Choi Yong-sool and Seo Bok-seob. He was a pioneer of the art opening one of the first schools for the art in Seoul, the Moo Sul Kwan.
Life
Won Kwang-hwa was born in what is now South Korea.
Accomplishments
Won Kwang-hwa also served as a personal secretary and body guard to Seo Bok-seob's father, congressman Suh Dong-jin. Having first learned hapkido from Suh he later studied directly from Choi Yong-sool. In 1962, when Kim Moo-hong opened up his Shin Moo Kwan dojang in Seoul he became one the instructors there. Shortly thereafter Won opened his own school the Moo Sul Kwan.
Being an older practitioner when he started his training, and having pragmatic reasons for studying the art, Won's Moo Sul Kwan emphasized what he believed constituted practical self-defense techniques. Moo Sul Kwan emphasizes powerful and direct techniques and a greater emphasis on strength in responses rather than ki power. There is also a preference towards whole body throws than wrist centered joint locking throws.
Some of his notable students were Park Lee-hyun, Kimm He-young, Won Hyung-dae
Park Lee-Hyun brought Moo Sul Kwan Hapkido to the United States in 1969. He opened a private school in Cape Girardeau Missouri and taught as a physical education professor at Southeast Missouri State University. He was one of the two highest ranked Moo Sul Kwan Hapkido practitioners in the world.
Won Hyung-dae, his son, took over the management of the kwan upon his father's death.

The school was founded in 1920 as the City Boys' School, on East Bond Street. In 1928 it moved to Humberstone Gate, to the former buildings of the Wyggeston Hospital Girls' School, which moved to a site in Regent Road which is now the Regent College sixth form. After 1944 the City Boys' School became City of Leicester Boys' Grammar School. In 1966 it moved to the Wyvern building on Downing Drive. The Humberstone Gate building, built in 1878, was used for a few years by Charles Keene College (subsequently merged with Southfields College to form Leicester College) and is now the Leicester headquarters of Age Concern.
It became known as the City of Leicester School when it became a mixed comprehensive in 1976. It merged with the Spencefield School in 1985. The Spencefield building on Downing Drive became the lower school which is now the Gill building, named after former headmaster Mr. Gill.
It gained specialist status as a Business and Enterprise College in September 2003, and the Business and Enterprise Centre (BEC) was created at the Wyvern Building.
Previously a community school administered by Leicester City Council, in June 2023 The City of Leicester College converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Aspire Learning Partnership.

The Yield Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam to support its fifth album, Yield. A live album of the third Melbourne date on March 5, 1998, Give Way, was released in April 2023 after its intended release in August 1998.
History
Pearl Jam promoted Yield with tours in Oceania, and North America in 1998. Following the tour of Australia and before its summer tour of North America began, drummer Jack Irons left the band due to dissatisfaction with touring, marked his last tour with the band. Pearl Jam's sound engineer Brett Eliason stated, "We went and did Hawaii and Australia with Jack. When we came back, Jack wasn't in a position to carry on. He made that decision more or less by himself. He can be a really great drummer but he had difficulty on tour putting out the energy for the length of shows they were doing. I don't know if he thought they'd put things on hold for him." He was replaced on an initially temporary basis with former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. Cameron said, "I got a phone call out of the blue, from Mr. Ed Ved, Stoney and Kelly. I was ambushed. It was really short notice. He called and said 'hey what are you doing this summer?'" Cameron learned over 80 songs in two weeks.
Pearl Jam's summer tour of North America marked the band's return to full-scale touring and the use of Ticketmaster, when previously the band had protested against the use of Ticketmaster. For this tour and future tours, Pearl Jam once again began using it in order to "better accommodate concertgoers." The first leg of the tour focused on the West Coast of the United States and the Midwest, and then the band moved to the East Coast for the tour's second leg. Cameron stated, "The guys made me feel real welcome and it wasn't a struggle to get it musically, but my style was a little bit different, I think, than what they were used to. And they've been through so many different drummers, I don't even know if they knew what they wanted. So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band." During the tour an organized fan campaign dubbed the "Breath Campaign" was started in which fans brought signs to shows requesting the song "Breath". After a four-year absence, "Breath" finally made a return appearance at the band's September 11, 1998 show in New York City at Madison Square Garden. The North American summer tour was a big success, and after it was completed the band released its first live album, Live on Two Legs, which featured select performances from the tour. Guitarist Mike McCready stated that the band released the live album due to the strength of Pearl Jam's shows on the tour.

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library is a children's novel by author Chris Grabenstein. It was on the New York Times bestseller list for Middle Grade novels for 111 weeks between 2013 and 2016, peaking at #8 in hardback and #2 in paperback.
Grabenstein has stated that the book contains a secret puzzle that readers can decode. To solve it, he offers some advice given by Mr. Lemoncello in the book: "Forget the Industrial Revolution, my first idea might be your best solution."
Plot
Twelve-year-old Kyle Keeley loves games of all kinds, especially the board games and video games created by beloved game maker, Luigi Lemoncello. The morning after getting grounded for breaking a window while playing one of Lemoncello's games, Kyle's friend Akimi Hughes tells him of an essay for a school contest; the winners will be the first to visit the new, grand library in Kyle's town of Alexandriaville, Ohio. Initially, Kyle wasn't interested in books, but when he realizes the new library will offer games and computers, he quickly makes a very brief attempt.
At school, Kyle discovers that Mr. Lemoncello designed and funded the new library, and that he plans to judge the essay contest. Mr. Lemoncello credits much of his success to the help of Alexandriaville's old public library in his childhood. Regretful that he missed out on a great opportunity, Kyle tries to hand in a much stronger essay late, but his teacher refuses to accept it. Undeterred, Kyle finds an email address for Mr. Lemoncello and sends the essay directly to him. When Mr. Lemoncello arrives at Kyle's school to announce the essay contest winners, Dr. Yanina Zinchenko, world-famous librarian, explains that they will experience the grand new library in an overnight visit. Then Mr. Lemoncello walks onto the stage and announces the winners: Kyle, Akimi, helpful Miguel Fernandez, nerd Andrew Peckleman, Bridgette Wadge, bookworm Sierra Russell, Yasmeen Smith-Snyder, Sean Keegan, popular girl Haley Daley, Rose Vermette, over-eager Kayla Corson and bully Charles Chiltington.
That night, the children enter the library. They play a trivia game with the prize of sleeping in the library's opulent bedroom suite, which Charles wins, and they compete to find dessert for the prize of early entry to the Electronic Learning Center. Kyle and Akimi pair up to win that. Other activities that night include watching an IMAX movie and seeing animatronic presidential debate.
The next morning, Mr. Lemoncello announces a new game: the first to escape the library within twenty-four hours will win the chance to appear in Lemoncello game commercials and earn money as the company spokesperson. Sean, Kayla, and Rose choose not to stay, and Bridgette and Yasmeen are eliminated early, Kyle, Akimi and Sierra form a team. Meanwhile, Charles focuses on the fake book covers in the "Staff Picks" display case in the library entryway and soon begins to find rebus clues in the hard copies of those titles. Kyle guesses that the different books pictured on the backs of their new library cards are a clue; his team pursues those. Soon Miguel joins Kyle's team, and Charles forces Haley and Andrew into joining forces with him.
By late that night, despite Charles's insistence that he will win, he is concerned that Kyle's team is doing well. So, he convinces Andrew to steal Sierra's library card to gain access to the private meeting room where Team Kyle's collected clues and hints are displayed. Andrew is caught in the morning and ejected from the game. Haley decides to change sides. After several more games, Charles attempts to strongarm the last clue from Kyle in a physical confrontation. Charles is caught and removed from the game. Kyle and his friends decipher the last of the clues and escape the library just in time..
They are brave and do not give up.Kyle used his skills just in time.
Awards
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library was a New York Times bestseller for Children's Middle Grade and received positive reviews. Giving it a starred review, Kirkus Reviews praised the book as a "solid, tightly plotted read" full of puzzles and puns. Publishers Weekly called it "that perfect book that isn’t girly or boyish, but is just a good book for any middle-grade reader." Reviewers (including author James Patterson, a frequent collaborator of Grabenstein's) also compared the book favorably to Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The novel was also the 2013 winner of the Agatha Award for Best Children's/Young Adult Novel. This was the fourth time that Grabenstein won this award, the first for his novel The Crossroads.

Taxonomy and naming
Hakea elliptica was initially described as Conchium ellipticum in 1807 by James Edward Smith in the work Conchium. The Cyclopaed, Smith then revised the name the following year as Conchium elliptica in A botanical sketch of the genus Conchium and published in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. Robert Brown reclassified the species in 1810 to the genus Hakea and was published in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. The type specimen was collected from King George Sound in 1803 by A.Maxwell. The specific epithet (elliptica) refers to the shape of the leaves.
Distribution and habitat
It is found in an area along the south coast in the Great Southern region of Western Australia between Denmark and just east of Albany where it grows on sandy soils over granite. It is often found amongst coastal heath communities.

Lankaran (, , ) is a city in Azerbaijan, on the coast of the Caspian Sea, near the southern border with Iran. As of 2021, the city had a population of 89,300. It is next to, but independent of, Lankaran District. The city forms a distinct first-order division of Azerbaijan. The city is mostly populated by the Talysh people, and serves as the main urban centre of this people and its ethnic homeland, Talyshstan.
Etymology
The origin of the name "Lankaran" is uncertain. One theory consider it to derive from one of the Persian words, Langarkunān ("the place for dropping the anchor(s)") or Langarkanān ("the place for weighing anchor(s)"). Both meanings simply translate as "sea port." The pronunciation shifted through the years, and Langarkunān became Lankarān or, in the even more simple Talysh pronunciation, Lankon. The other theory links it to the Talysh word lankran ("cane house").
History
It is unknown when the town of Lankaran was actually established. The French archaeologist Jacques de Morgan (died 1924) discovered extremely ancient remains in Lankaran, such as dolmens, graves, and instances of bodies seemingly exposed in a Zoroastrian manner.
With the death of Nader Shah (r. 1736–1747), the Talysh Khanate was founded by a certain Seyyed Abbas, whose ancestors were members of the Iranian Safavid dynasty, and had moved into the Talish region in the 1720s during a turbulent period in Iranian history. From the founding of the khanate until 1828, it was under the suzerainty of the Iranian Zand and Qajar dynasties. In the first half of the 18th century, the Russians gained control over it for a few years during the Russo-Persian War of 1722–1723; in 1732 it was ceded back to Iran by the Treaty of Resht. During the Russo-Persian War of 1804–1813, General Kotlyarevsky, heading the southernmost Russian contingent during the war, stormed and captured Lankaran's fortress. Following the Treaty of Gulistan of 1813, it was ceded to Russia. Qajar Iran would later retake the city during the Russo-Persian War of 1826–1828, but was forced to return it following the Treaty of Turkmenchay (1828), which saw the definite end of Persian influence in the South Caucasus.
Under Russian rule, Lankaran, known as Lenkoran () in Russian, was the center of the Lenkoran Uyezd of the Baku Governorate. Following the collapse of the Russian Empire, it was a part of the short-lived Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (1918–1920), then became a part of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic following the sovietization of Azerbaijan. In 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it became a part of independent Azerbaijan.
Geography
There are sandy beaches near Lankaran. Thermal sulphide, chloride, sodium-calcium waters of Andjin (Upper and Lower) mineral springs are situated 12 km west of the town. Also to the west are the ruins of Ballabur castle, near the village with the same name.
The region has a vast area of national parks, where a variety of fauna and flora are preserved. Gizil-Agach State Reserve hosts over 250 kinds of plants, 30 species of fish and more than 220 kinds of birds. Lankaran is also known for Parrotia, or ironwood. It is naturally grown in the region and could be seen in Hirkan National Park. Local myth has it that it is the only wood that sinks in water, hence the name (ironwood). Historically it has been used for heating since it burns for a long time and is not easily extinguished. The Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolous) subspecies of the leopard, lives in the national park as well. In 1937, members of the Opilio lepidus species of harvestman were sighted in the area.
Climate
Lankaran has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification: Csa), with cool, wet winters and very warm, partially dry/highly humid summers.
Economy
Dominating spheres in the economy of Lankaran are vegetable-growing, tea-growing, paddy cultivating, cattle-breeding, citrus plants, beekeeping, fishing, and grain farming. Favourable humid subtropical climate, availability of good arable land, water and sufficient labour resources of the city provides a good basis for agricultural activities as well as the development of agro-processing enterprises. The city is also home to Azerbaijan's first tea plant, built in 1937.
Demographics
Lankaran is the capital of the Talysh region (Talyshistan), the ethnic homeland of the Talysh people, and the main urban and cultural center of this people.
The vast majority of the population of Lankaran is Talysh, and the rest are Azerbaijanis and other nationalities.
Religion
The religion with the largest community of followers is Islam. The majority of the Muslims are Shia Muslims, and the Republic of Azerbaijan has the second-highest Shia population percentage in the world after Iran. The city's notable mosques include Kichik Bazar Mosque and Boyuk Bazar Mosque.
Culture
As of 2012, the city along with Baku and Ganja participated in Earth Hour movement.
Cuisine
Lankaran's cuisine has largely been affected by its multicultural history, hence the large variety of food originating during Talysh Khanate. Lankaran's signature cuisine includes lavangi, Lankaran kulcha, marji plov, white plov, pumpkin plov and turshu kebab.
Music and media
Lankaran is home to several national folk performers, including the Bacılar (The Sisters) national Talysh folk and dance collective.
The regional channel Janub TV and newspaper Lankaran are headquartered in the city.
Sports
The city used to have a professional football team competing in the top-flight of Azerbaijani football - Khazar Lankaran, which played in the Azerbaijan Premier League.

Frances Sherwood (June 4, 1940 – April 27, 2021) was an American writer, novelist, and educator. Sherwood published four novels and one book of short stories. Her 1992 novel, Vindication, was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been translated into twelve languages.
Biography
Born June 4, 1940, in Washington, DC, and raised in Monterey, California, Sherwood was the daughter of William and Barbara Sherwood. She married photographer Fred Slaski in 1995. Sherwood had three children from a previous marriage to Reynold Madoo. Reynold Madoo is from Trinidad and was a student with her at Howard University in the early 1960s. They were married for over 20 years.
Sherwood attended Howard University in the early 1960s on an Agnes and Eugene Meyer Scholarship before earning her B.A. from Brooklyn College in 1967. She then pursued graduate study at New York University. She earned an M.A. in creative writing at The Johns Hopkins University in 1975. She continued the study of fiction writing at Stanford University after winning a Stegner Fellowship in 1976 (as Frances Madoo).
Sherwood's first book-length publication was a short story collection, Everything You’ve Heard Is True (1989). She went on to publish four novels: Vindication (1992), Green (1995), The Book of Splendor (2002) and Night of Sorrows (2006). Sherwood had two stories included in O. Henry Award collections (1989, 1992) and one story in The Best American Short Stories (2000, selected by E. L. Doctorow). Twenty-four of her short stories have been published in magazines, including The Atlantic Monthly ("Basil the Dog," September 1999), Zoetrope, and TriQuarterly. "Basil the Dog" was nominated for a Nebula Award for Best Short Story in 1999.
In 1986, Sherwood was hired as an assistant professor of English at Indiana University South Bend, where she taught creative writing and journalism. She was promoted to professor of English in 1994.
Frances Sherwood said she considered herself a "new historical" novelist, a writer who displaces current political and psychological issues onto earlier times and exotic locales.
Sherwood died on April 27, 2021, in South Bend, Indiana.

Tropheus duboisi, the white spotted cichlid, is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika. It can reach a length of .
Distribution and habitat
The species is found only in Lake Tanganyika, restricted to rocky substrates (rubble or slabs) in the northern portion of the lake. It occurs to a depth of 30 m. Three subpopulations are distinguished in different parts of the lake: "Maswa", "Karilani Island", and "Kigoma".
Ecology
T. duboisi cichlids feed on the algae growing on the rocky substrate they frequent. The species engages in mouth-brooding; eggs are hatched in the mother's mouth, and young fish use it as shelter for some time after hatching.
Conservation
The species is classified as vulnerable due to their small estimated population size (a few thousand) and restricted distribution. It is heavily in demand in the aquarium trade, and likely impacted to some degree by increases in sedimentation in its natural habitat.
Etymology
The specific name honours the collector of the type, the limnologist Jean Dubois, who was Marlier's colleague.

Ruediger Dahlke (born 24 July 1951 in East Berlin) is best known for the many books and articles on health issues, translated into more than 20 languages. His work centers on psychosomatics, spiritual philosophy, nutrition and esoteric.
Life and background
Dahlke went to school in Freising, and became a Physician with his dissertation on the psychosomatics of childhood bronchial asthma (1978) at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
He continued with further studies and specialised in naturopathic medicine and various types of psychotherapy. This was followed by a long collaboration with Thorwald Dethlefsen.
He went his own ways by setting up a medical center in Johanneskirchen with his first wife Margit Dahlke in 1990, that is still active till today.
In 2010-2012 followed the purchase, build-up and start of a health centre Tamanga in Gamlitz, a place in Styria, Austria.
His approach belongs to the alternative medicine, challenging the traditional, evidence-based medicine and therefore he has attracted criticism.
In 2020 and 2021 Dahlke became a source of misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, and he propagated ways of overcoming the risk factors and strengthening the immune system, as set out in the books "Protection against Infections", "Corona as a Wake-up Call" and "Mind-Food".
He currently runs his health centre Tamanga, where he gives a variety of seminars on fasting, "connected breathing" and "integral medicine", and offering workshops on various topics promoting health Clemens G. Arvay.

He was ordered to the Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, in August 1939 and completed junior course in May 1940. O'Neill then joined as flight officer the Marine Scouting Squadron 1 at Quantico and later accompanied his unit to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
World War II
Upon his return stateside in July 1941, O'Neill was promoted to major and joined the newly activated 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing under Brigadier General Roy S. Geiger as Air Liaison Officer with the Amphibious Corps, Pacific Fleet under Major General Clayton B. Vogel. Following the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States entry into World War II, O'Neill participated in the intensive preparation for combat deployment and was promoted to the temporary rank of lieutenant colonel in August 1942.
O'Neill embarked for South Pacific in October that year and served as air liaison officer between general Vogel's I Marine Amphibious Corps and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, now under the command of his former superior officer, Roy S. Geiger. O'Neill participated in several aerial combat missions during the Battle of Guadalcanal and received his first Air Medal.
In July 1943, he assumed command of Strike Command, Aircraft Solomon Islands, controlling all Navy, Marine and RNZAF dive bombing, torpedo-bombing, and search planes. For his new command, O'Neill was promoted to the temporary rank of colonel on September 30, 1943. He led his command during the strikes on New Britain, Munda, and Bougainville and received two awards of Legion of Merit with Combat "V" and two more Air Medals.
O'Neill was relieved by Colonel Frank Schwable in March 1944 and returned to the United States for new assignment. He was subsequently ordered to Washington, D.C., where he joined the Headquarters Marine Corps for duty as aviation operations officer in the Division of Plans and Policies under Major General Gerald C. Thomas. O'Neill served in this capacity until December that year, when he was transferred to the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, for duty as chief of staff of the base.
He remained in that assignment until March 1945, when he was transferred to Hawaii and joined the headquarters of Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet under Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz. He served on the Nimitz's Plans Division as Assistant War Plans Officer and participated in the planning of Operation Downfall, intended invasion of Japan. Following the surrender of Japan and cancellation of Invasion, the plans were adapted to the occupation of that country and O'Neill received the Bronze Star Medal for his service.
Postwar service
In November 1945, O'Neill was transferred to the staff of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing under Major General Ralph J. Mitchell and served as assistant chief of staff for operations and training at Cherry Point, North Carolina, until February 1946. He was then transferred to the headquarters of Marine Air, West Coast at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, where he served for a brief period as personnel officer under Major General William J. Wallace, before assumed command of Miramar Air Station in June 1946. O'Neill was responsible for training of replacements and demobilization of combat troops returning from overseas.
O'Neill was sent to the National War College in Washington, D.C., and upon graduation in June 1948, he was appointed head of Personnel Branch, Division of Aviation at Marine Corps Headquarters and served again under General Wallace for two years.
In June 1950, O'Neill was transferred to the Naval Air Station Glenview, Illinois, where assumed duty as chief of staff, Marine Air Reserve Training Command under Brigadier General William O. Brice. He was co-responsible for the training of Marine reservists and following the departure of general Brice in April 1951, O'Neill served as acting commander of Air Reserve Training Command for five months.
O'Neill was ordered to command of Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California, in October 1951 and remained in that capacity until April 1954, when he was promoted to brigadier general and ordered to Korea for duty as assistant commander, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing consecutively under major generals Verne J. McCaul and Marion L. Dawson. Due to signed peace agreement, the operations of O'Neill's Wing were limited to the patrolling along the Korean Demilitarized Zone.
He returned to the United States in February 1955 and assumed duty as commanding general, Force Aviation, Aircraft, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific. O'Neill was transferred to Japan in July 1956 and assumed command of 1st Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni. His tour of Korea has ended prematurely, when he was relieved of command in November 1956 by Commandant of the Marine Corps, Randolph M. Pate.
General Pate was appointed commandant on January 1, 1956, and two months later, he issued an order which said dependents should not "accompany or later join" marines assigned to the Far East. The order applied to members of combat units considered to be in a state of readiness for transfer to trouble spots at a moment's notice. However, some of the servicemen's wives they had a right to come if they obtain tourists visas and paid their own way.
In October 1956, O'Neill was instructed by his direct superior, Lieutenant general Edwin A. Pollock, commander of Fleet Marine Force, Pacific to inform each affected marine by letter, that if his dependents stayed in Japan longer than sixty days they would lose their tourist status and be considered to be in the Far East in violation of Commandant Pate's order. The Army, United States Navy, Air Force did not issued similar orders and marine wives became highly invested, mailing their complaints to Washington, D.C.
By the end of November 1956, O'Neill was relieved of command by Major General Arthur H. Binney and ordered back to the United States. The official explanation was, that change in command was in no way connected with O'Neill's order about wives and his transfer had been planned for some time. Commandant Pate commented whole matter, that O'Neill made an error, and that the Marine dependents policy had been relaxed somewhat in some units, but should have been enforced in certain units long ago.
O'Neill was then ordered to Marine Corps Air Station Miami, Florida and assumed command of Marine Aircraft Group 31 (Reinforced), which he held until his retirement. He retired from active duty on July 1, 1958, after 31 years of service and was advanced to the rank of major general on the retired list for having been specially commended in combat.
Retirement
Following his retirement from the Marines, O'Neill worked for Thiokol Chemical Corporation in Bristol, Pennsylvania, before returned to Washington, D.C., for his second retirement.
Major General David F. O'Neill died on September 27, 1963, aged 58, and was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia. His wife Alice E. O'Neill was buried beside him.

70048 The Territorial Army 1908–1958 was a British Railways BR standard class 7 (also known as Britannia class) steam locomotive, named after the Territorial Army, a part of the British Army.
Career
It was built at a cost of £23,445 at Crewe Works being completed on 8 July 1954. It was allocated a BR1D 'high sided' tender number 982 and allocated to Holyhead depot.
Initially unnamed, it was not until 23 July 1958 when it was given its title by the Duke of Norfolk. It was probably no coincidence that the engine's driver on the day was Fred Brookes, himself a former Territorial. At the naming ceremony, Mr David Blee, General Manager of the London Midland Region, recognised that with the increasing use of diesel haulage it was likely that 70048 would not remain in service for much longer and that the name The Territorial Army 1908–1958 would be transferred to a diesel-electric locomotive although it never happened.
During its life it was allocated to various depots including Chester, Willesden, Newton Heath, Annesley, Aston, Carlisle Upperby and finally Carlisle Kingmoor. It was from this shed that it was finally withdrawn from service on 6 May 1967 and scrapped on 12 September 1967.
Commemoration
On 8 November 2008 preserved sibling loco No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' was temporarily re-numbered as 70048 and temporarily renamed 'Territorial Army 1908–2008' as part of a ceremony to commorate the 100th anniversary of the Territorial Army. The new name was carried on the left hand side smoke deflector, with the original 'Territorial Army 1908–1958' nameplate on the right. The naming was performed by the Duke of Gloucester at Quorn station on the preserved Great Central Railway.

An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (stylized on-screen as Burn Hollywood Burn) is a 1997 American mockumentary black comedy film directed by Arthur Hiller, written by Joe Eszterhas and starring Eric Idle as a director unfortunately named Alan Smithee, a traditional pseudonym used in Hollywood for directors disowning a project. The film follows Smithee as he steals the negatives to his latest film and goes on the run.
An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn was universally panned by critics and tanked at the box office. It "won" five awards (including Worst Picture) at the 19th Golden Raspberry Awards. The film's creation set off a chain of events which led the Directors Guild of America to officially discontinue the Alan Smithee credit in 2000 after its use for decades when an American director disavowed a film. The plot, about a director attempting to disown a film, ironically described the film's own production; Hiller requested that his name be removed after witnessing the final cut, and he is credited as Alan Smithee. Burn Hollywood Burn was also the final Cinergi Pictures produced film to be released.
Plot
Challenger Films producers Jerry Glover and James Edmunds hire acclaimed English editor Alan Smithee to direct Trio, a blockbuster action film starring Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jackie Chan. Though only hired due to his inexperience, which the producers believe will make him controllable, Smithee becomes invested in the project.
Edmunds makes frequent changes to the film, hiring many additional writers to retool the script and giving Smithee frequent notes during production. Between this and frequent interference from the film's stars, Smithee becomes withdrawn. Edmunds hires prostitute Michelle Rafferty to seduce a drunken Smithee, who is in an unhappy marriage, so he can acquire blackmail material. Michelle is captivated by Smithee's kind spirit, and develops feelings for him.
Smithee realizes he has lost control over Trio, and voices his concerns to Edmunds, who advises him to take his name off the film and use the DGA pseudonym - which he cannot do, as it is also 'Alan Smithee.' After Stallone requests they cut one of Chan's lines in the film, Smithee offers to make the edit and drop the master off at the lab for duplication, instead stealing it and running away.
As Challenger instructs security foreman Sam Rizzo to organize a search for Smithee, he calls into Larry King, and in the middle of a mental breakdown, announces his intention to burn the film so it may not be released. At a gas station, he is spotted by Stagger Lee, a member of the African American Guerilla Film Family, whom he quickly befriends. Smithee is put in touch with famed indie directors the Brothers brothers, who relate to his plight and schedule a meeting with Glover and Edmunds to negotiate.
Glover offers the brothers a three-picture deal if they return the master as-is, but they refuse, insisting that Smithee be given final cut on Trio. Though claiming to accept this offer, Glover has Rizzo follow the brothers back to their house, where the police search for the master. Smithee exits through a back window and drives to the La Brea Tar Pits, where he finally burns the film as promised. He appears on Larry King again, in-person, to defend his actions, explaining that "they killed [Trio], I ended its suffering."
Attorney Robert Shapiro negotiates for Smithee to be sent to a psychiatric hospital in England in lieu of criminal charges, as the King interview has led Smithee to be regarded as a hero by the public. Glover and Edmunds compete in a bidding war with producer Robert Evans to secure Smithee's life story for a film adaptation, which Smithee sells on the condition that the Brothers brothers direct with final cut. The producers decide that Smithee, with his newfound reputation, is now a valuable property, and offer him a film deal. At the hospital, Michelle reconciles with Smithee as he discusses plans for his new film, Duo.
Cast
Cameos as themselves
Production
The film was written (and produced, though he was not credited for it) by Joe Eszterhas, who became the first person to win four Golden Raspberry awards for a single film: Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay and both Worst Supporting Actor and Worst New Star for a brief cameo appearance (he also received a co-nomination for the Worst Screen Couple award, since An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn was nominated for "any two people appearing together onscreen"; although the movie did not "win" in this category). The released film credits the Alan Smithee pseudonym as director because Arthur Hiller, the film's real director, objected to the way Eszterhas recut the film, and as a result, had his name removed. In his autobiography, Hollywood Animal, Eszterhas claims that Hiller still sat in the editing room with him to make certain suggestions. In his entry on An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn for his "My Year of Flops" column in The A.V. Club, pop culture critic Nathan Rabin sarcastically commented that Hiller's decision to use the Alan Smithee credit was "very transparently not a stupid, stupid gimmick to raise interest in a terrible film".
Reception
Box office
The film had an estimated budget of $10 million and grossed at least $52,850, as it was released in only 19 theaters.
Critical response
Film critic Roger Ebert, reviewing for the Chicago Sun-Times, gave An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn a score of zero stars, his lowest possible rating. The film was not merely bad but "incompetent", Ebert wrote, and also seemingly represented a lapse of judgment for Eszterhas who "is sometimes a good writer". In 2005, Ebert included it on his list of most hated films.
The film holds a 7% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 41 reviews, with an average rating of 3.3/10. The site's critical consensus calls it "A witless Hollywood satire whose hammy, obvious jokes are neither funny nor insightful of the movie business." Eric Idle said in various interviews meant to promote the film that "this is rather dreadful".

Ithier (or Itier, Iterius; died 981), was Archbishop of Arles from before March 963 until 981.
Biography
Ithier may have been from the Lyonnais, because this name is extremely rare in Provence but common in Lyonnais.
He would then be a follower of King Conrad I of Burgundy, who became suzerain of Provence in 949.
Only a few elements of Ithier's life are known.
969 (1 March): Through an exchange with Count Boso II of Arles, Count of Provence, Ithier acquires the ruined castrum of Sanctum Amantum. This is the origin of the village of Saint-Chamas.
970: The archbishop of Arles comes to Cruas to dedicate a chapel, under the invocation of Saint Michael, that a lady Gotolinde had just built on the site of a primitive church .
972: Ithier undertakes to revive the Saint-Césaire Abbey of Arles.
973 (19 July): Teucinde of Arles obtains from Archbishop Ithier the concession of Saint-Hippolyte near Arles, to rebuild it, restore it, and own it with her nephew Riculfe, the Bishop of Fréjus, until the end of their days.
976–978: During the conflict between , the Bishop of Valence, and a certain Achard, a synod excommunicates Achard in an edict solemnly deposited on the high altar of the Church of St. Trophime, Arles, intended for the Archbishop Ithier.
Members of the Jewish community of the city manage part of the patrimony of the archbishop,
Ithier cedes the property of Goudargues to one of his proteges, Thibert.
Ithier mints money explicitly signed in his name.
Laugier of Nice receives from the Archbishop of Arles the villa Niomes and property in Busayrol, located in the county of Vaison. In 981, this gift was confirmed by Annon, successor of Ithier.
Between 965 and 972 Ithier was the only metropolitan of Provence.
The prelates he appointed swore to him not only canonical obedience but also the oath of fidelity.
The coinage of Arles, in decline since the end of the ninth century, was resumed under his archiepiscopate with coins bearing his initials.

Dortmund Airport is a minor international airport located east of Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia. It serves the eastern Rhine-Ruhr area, the largest urban agglomeration in Germany, and is mainly used for low-cost and leisure charter flights. In 2020 the airport served 1,220,624 passengers. The nearest major international airport is Düsseldorf Airport approx. to the southwest.
History
Early years
The airport, originally located in the suburb of Brackel, was first served by commercial flights in 1925 by Aero Lloyd, which operated flights to Paris. By the business year 1927/1928, service had expanded to 2,589 commercial flights annually. During World War II the airport was used as a German air base, and was subsequently used by the British Royal Air Force. Service to Dortmund was not recommenced when German commercial air service was restarted in 1955. In 1960, the civil airfield was relocated to Dortmund-Wickede. The old airport was abandoned and occupied by British forces until the 1990s.
Little service
Over the next decades Düsseldorf Airport and Cologne Bonn Airport were the dominant commercial airports in the Rhine-Ruhr Area. Additionally Hannover Airport also covered some of the air travel needs of this region. Furthermore, the 257-km (160-mile) Sauerlandlinie opened in the late 1960s, connecting Dortmund with Frankfurt Airport in under two hours by car.
Commercial service was restored in 1979 with daily flights to Munich by Reise- und Industrieflug. Nuremberg and Stuttgart followed shortly afterwards. Following German Reunification in 1990, Dresden, Leipzig, Berlin, and London were added to the flight schedule. Reise- und Industrieflug and Nürnberger Flugdienst merged in 1990 and Eurowings was formed, which is still based in Dortmund.
Construction was started in 1998, and completed in 2000 on a new replacement terminal. This multi-level terminal prepared the airport for its resurgence.
Resurgence
From late 2000 onwards, Dortmund Airport has experienced a drastic increase in air traffic. In the 1990s weekly service had been generally restricted to a few turboprop flights to destinations within Germany, as well as occasional charter flights to warm-weather destinations. Since 2000, several new airlines have commenced service to Dortmund, many with mainline jets. Most of the air traffic today is by low cost airlines operating Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 family series aircraft to warm-weather destinations and business centres.
The first mass carrier at Dortmund Airport was Air Berlin, which began flights to London, Milan, and Vienna in 2002, supplementing its leisure routes to the Mediterranean. easyJet made Dortmund a hub in 2004, and Germanwings followed in 2007. Air Berlin ceased most non-leisure routes from Dortmund in 2005, but easyJet has taken over in this role. However, easyJet cancelled four of five destinations in 2012. To this day the relatively popular London-Luton route is the only one served by easyJet.
Since 2006 it has been carrying the name "Dortmund Airport 21", in reference to the fact that Dortmund's utility company, DSW21, is its major shareholder. The airport's master plan consists of the following elements: Increasing normal operating hours by one hour at night (to 23:00h), with an additional one-hour window in the morning and at night for exceptions, lengthening the runway to , expanding the terminal and its infrastructure, improving the motorway connections and directly connecting the airport to mass transit.
In October 2014, Air Berlin announced it was leaving Dortmund Airport entirely, cancelling their last remaining summer seasonal route to Palma de Mallorca. The airline had shut down several leisure routes from the airport in 2012.
As with easyJet in the 2000s, other low-cost carriers started opening routes from Dortmund Airport. Ryanair has progressively added new routes from Dortmund, mostly to destinations around the Mediterranean and the UK. At one point, Spanish low-cost airline Vueling offered flights to Barcelona, but they have been discontinued despite strong demand. However, Wizz Air has been the most significant contributor to the airport's resurgence. The Hungarian low-cost airline began servicing the airport in the mid 2000s by operating several routes to Eastern Europe, in large parts due to the Ruhr's significant Slavic community. In June 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wizzair announced that Dortmund Airport would become its 33rd base, the first in Germany. However, a year later, Wizz Air announced the closure of their Dortmund base which led to the termination of few routes.
Airlines and destinations
The following airlines offer regular scheduled and charter flights at Dortmund Airport:
Statistics
Ground transportation
To Dortmund and the Ruhr area
Dortmund Airport is served by an express bus to Dortmund main station, a shuttle bus to the nearby railway station Holzwickede/Dortmund Flughafen, a bus to the city's metro line U47, as well as a bus to the city of Unna.
To Düsseldorf
There are two possibilities to go to Düsseldorf main station:
Heading to Dortmund main station by the AirportExpress bus (or taking bus line 490 to Aplerbeck and then metro line U47). The direct connection from Dortmund central station to Düsseldorf is operated by frequent regional and long-distance trains.
Catching the AirportShuttle bus to nearby Holzwickede station. The shuttle bus leaves every 20 minutes in front of the terminal building. From Holzwickede station taking the RE 13 (Maas-Wupper-Express) towards Venlo. The train runs once every hour and provides a direct connection to Düsseldorf, the travel time is approx. 60 minutes.
Other facilities
At one time Eurowings had its headquarters, the Dortmund Administrative Center (Verwaltungsstandort Dortmund), at the airport. It has been relocated to Düsseldorf in 2010.
Accidents and incidents
On 3 January 2010, Air Berlin Flight 2450, operated by a Boeing 737-800 (D-ABKF) overran the end of the runway after an aborted take-off at high speed due to an airspeed discrepancy on the two pilots' instruments. There were no injuries among the 171 people on board.

The Wessex Regionalists are a minor English regionalist political party in the United Kingdom. It seeks a degree of legislative and administrative home rule for Wessex, an area in the south and south-west of England loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the same name.
The party has contested a small number of Wessex-area parliamentary constituencies in most elections since it was established, but without success.
History
Speaking at a tourism industry conference in 1969, the then Viscount Weymouth suggested Wessex as a regional identity for tourism purposes. He later objected to the press over Wessex not being given the same opportunities as Scotland or Wales in the Kilbrandon Report. Lord Weymouth subsequently stood as the first Wessex Regionalist parliamentary candidate in Westbury in the February 1974 United Kingdom general election, coming last with 521 votes.
The party was formally constituted in 1981. It initially used Thomas Hardy's definition of Wessex as Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset and Devon; but later added Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. It pulled out of the 1987 general election and advocated that its supporters voted for the Liberal/SDP Alliance on the basis that they were a close second in many Wessex seats and were the most supportive of regional government.
Lord Weymouth (who succeeded as The 7th Marquess of Bath in June 1992) was the first president of the party, later defecting to the Liberal Democrats although in 1999 he was "still in touch" with the Wessex Regionalists. Subsequent presidents have included the activist John Banks and the former architect Colin Bex.
In 2013, Dorset County Councillor David C Fox switched his party allegiance from Liberal Democrat to Wessex Regionalist for his final few days in office.
During the 2015 general election, Bex cast doubt on the official version of events of the 2001 September 11 attacks. During the UK's 2016 referendum on membership of the European Union, the then-president Bex campaigned to leave. He described immigration as a "peaceful invasion", describing "people from all over the world" as "infiltrating" national institutions. Devizes candidate and party leader Jim Gunter, at a hustings shortly before the 2017 general election, advocated a second referendum and, if that were not possible, the "Norway option" of remaining in the single market.
Ideology
The party has been described as ethnoterritorial, though an earlier study of regionalist and nationalist parties in Britain reached the opposite conclusion, saying that "For regionalism, the legitimacy of the state as a whole is not usually in question; the challenge is to its territorial organisation. This is in contrast to ethnic nationalism (for example, that advocated for Wales), which suggests that the state is not legitimate because it contains different nations." Its platform is based on the creation of a devolved assembly for the region it defines as Wessex. The party defines the counties of Berkshire, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Oxfordshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire as being part of Wessex. Whilst this roughly corresponds to the South West Region, it also includes the Western counties of the South East Region, and excludes Cornwall, which it describes as being "the last of the Celtic areas to be incorporated into Wessex", and retaining its own identity, as well as a nationalist party, Mebyon Kernow. The assembly has variously been described as having a rotating location in the style of the Anglo-Saxon Witenagemot and as being based in Winchester, which had been the capital of the ancient kingdom of Wessex. The assembly would take power from Parliament in Westminster rather than from local authorities.
In light of UK government recognition of the Cornish people as a national minority under a European treaty, the party called for greater protection of local produce and what it described as the "Wessex dialect". The party believes that the Wessex region has a distinct cultural identity, which it seeks to promote. It defines this culture as including morris dancing, cider, and the works of various local writers. The party was described in The Guardian as having a "nostalgia for pre-industrial revolution England".
In 2010, the party advocated a 100% tax rate on the top 10% of earners, with the revenue passed to parish councils.

The Polyctenidae are a rarely collected family of parasitic bugs of the superfamily Cimicoidea. Polyctenidae species or bat bugs are obligate, hematophagous ectoparasites of bats. These insects are not to be confused with cimicid bat bugs, which are members of the family Cimicidae. A significant relationship appears to occur between the family groups and the species of hosts that indicates co-evolution and specialization.
There are currently 32 species of polyctenid bat bugs recognized world wide belonging to two subfamilies and five genera. Polyctenidae species occur both in the Old World (subfamily Polycteninae) and New World (subfamily Hesperocteninae).

Gordon Hodgson (16 April 1904 – 14 June 1951) was a professional sportsman, born in Transvaal Colony, who is best known as a striker for Liverpool and as a fast bowler for Lancashire. He won two international caps for South Africa and three for England.
Hodgson signed for Liverpool on 14 December 1925, going on to score 241 goals in 377 appearances for the Anfield club. He transferred to Aston Villa on 8 January 1936 and scored 11 goals in 28 appearances for the Villans, before joining Leeds United in March 1937, scoring 53 goals in 85 appearances for the Elland Road club. In total Hodgson scored 305 goals in 490 appearances for his three English clubs, 295 of which came in 467 games in the Football League with the other ten coming in the FA Cup from 23 appearances.
He was appointed Port Vale manager in 1946, a position he would hold until his death in 1951.
Early and personal life
Gordon Hodgson was born on 16 April 1904 in Benoni, Transvaal Colony to English parents. He married Doris Huckell, on 23 November 1928 at West Derby Register Office. They had two children: Doreen T. (born 1930) and Gordon (born 1934), before Doris died at the age of 27 on 8 March 1938, at Preston Parade in Beeston, Leeds.
Football career
Club career
Hodgson played football in South Africa with Benoni (1919–21), Rustenburg (1921–22), Pretoria (1922–24) and then Transvaal (1924–25). He scored a hat-trick against Liverpool for the South African Amateur team during a tour of England on 1 October 1924, and was signed by the club on 17 November 1925. During his time in South Africa he worked as a boiler-maker.
Liverpool
Hodgson had a reputation early in his career as an unselfish forward who excelled in link-up play but that didn't stop him going on to become one of Liverpool and indeed the Football League's greatest-ever goalscorers. Not averse to charging through defenders if other avenues to goal were barred, although he was capable of subtlety when the situation demanded it, Hodgson was exceptionally strong on the ball and possessed a terrific shot with either foot, which allied to his height, heading ability, pace, close-control, enthusiasm and a noted talent for shooting when going at top-speed made him a real force in attack. Only Roger Hunt (244) has scored more league goals for Liverpool but all of Hodgson's 233 league strikes came in the top-flight from 358 appearances, a fantastic goals-per-game ratio. In total Hodgson scored 295 goals in 467 games in the Football League, 288 of which came in the top-flight from 454 appearances, leaving him fourth in the all-time list of top-flight goalscorers in English football with only Jimmy Greaves (357), Steve Bloomer (317) and Dixie Dean (310) having scored more. Hodgson first came to Liverpool's attention in 1924 as one of the youngest members of the touring South African national team, who on 1 October beat Liverpool 5–2 at Anfield. He joined Liverpool a year later on 14 December 1925, making his debut in a 1–1 draw against Manchester City at Maine Road on 27 February 1926. He opened his goal scoring account eleven days later when he scored twice in a 3–3 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 10 March 1926. He scored the first of a still club record 17 hat-tricks for Liverpool in a 5–1 win against Sheffield United at Anfield on 11 September 1926 in his seventeenth game.
During his Anfield career Hodgson missed very few games in league or cup and scored prolifically throughout; therefore, it was a shame that his career coincided with a barren period for the club because his contribution to the Liverpool cause was massive. The 36 league goals Hodgson scored during the 1930–31 season beat Sam Raybould's total of 31 scored in 1902–03 and set a new club record that would last for more than thirty years, until it was beaten by Roger Hunt in 1961–62. Hodgson scored three hat-tricks that season at Anfield but perhaps it was the four goals he scored in an away match at Hillsborough that gave him the most satisfaction of all. He was top scorer in seven out of the nine full seasons he played for Liverpool. On completion of his ten years service he was honoured by the club with a benefit sum of £650. His popularity prompted an ingenious biscuit seller to name the home-made ginger nuts, that he sold in a quantity of five for a penny on matchdays at Anfield, in his honour: "Hodgson's Choice! Hodgson's Choice!" he would call. The 1935–36 season proved to be Hodgson's last at Anfield; his nine goals in 17 league appearances was yet again a decent return, but on 8 January 1936 he was allowed to move to Aston Villa for £4,000. In total Hodgson scored 241 goals in 377 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, earning him a place in the Liverpool FC Hall of Fame and leaving him third in the all-time list of leading goalscorers for the Anfield club with only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) having scored more.
Aston Villa
Hodgson made his debut for Aston Villa in a 3–0 defeat against Preston North End at Deepdale on 18 January 1936. His first goal for Villa came in a 4–3 defeat against Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Park on 15 February 1936. He was relegated with Aston Villa at the end of the 1935–36 season, his four goals in 15 league appearances not enough to help them beat the drop. His stay with Villa in the Second Division was a short one. He left for Leeds United for £1,500 on 2 March 1937, after scoring seven goals in 13 appearances for Villa in the Second Division, including a hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Bradford City at Villa Park on 14 September 1936. In total Hodgson scored 11 goals in 28 appearances for Villa, all of which were in the league.
Leeds United
At Leeds United Hodgson showed that he still had what it took to score goals at the top level, scoring 6 goals in 13 league appearances in the second half of the 1936–37 season, including a goal on his debut in a 7–1 defeat against his old Merseyside rivals Everton at Goodison Park on 3 March 1937. Despite that defeat Hodgson's goals still proved enough to help Leeds avoid relegation. The following season, 1937–38, Leeds secured a top half finish thanks in no small part to Hodgson who scored 26 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions, including all four Leeds goals in a 4–4 draw against Everton at Elland Road on 26 February 1938. His form was all the more remarkable considering the strain he'd been playing under as a result of the illness and subsequent death of his wife on 8 March 1938, leaving him a widower with two children. Hodgson continued to show admirable professionalism and was as prolific as ever during the 1938–39 season, scoring 21 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions, including a still Leeds club record five goals in their 8–2 thrashing of Leicester City at Elland Road on 1 October 1938. In total Hodgson scored 53 goals in 85 appearances for Leeds in all competitions, not including one appearance in the 1939–40 season which was abandoned after three games due to the outbreak of World War II. He was top scorer for Leeds in both of his two full seasons at Elland Road. During the war Hodgson worked in a munitions factory whilst continuing to turn out for Leeds until 1941, making 34 war-time appearances for the Elland Road club, scoring 14 goals. He also guested for Hartlepools United (one appearance, 1939–40) and York City (five appearances, two goals, 1939–40). After hanging up his boots he helped to coach the youth players at Leeds from 1942 to October 1946.
International career
Hodgson played twice at full international level for his native South Africa, making his debut in a 2–1 win in a friendly against Ireland at Solitude, Belfast on 24 September 1924, in what was also South Africa's first ever full international match. His second and final international appearance for South Africa came against the Netherlands in a 2–1 defeat in a friendly at het Nederlandsche Sportpark (het Oude Stadion), Amsterdam on 2 November 1924. He also played and scored in a number of unofficial international matches for South Africa against British, Dutch, and Irish club sides during a 1924 tour, including appearances against Wimbledon and Liverpool; which is where they first noticed his talent and subsequently signed him the following year.
Hodgson was also capped three times at full international level by England, making his debut against Ireland, in a 5–1 win in a British Home Championship, match at Bramall Lane, Sheffield on 20 October 1930. His only goal for England came in his second appearance in a 4–0 win against Wales in a British Home Championship match at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham on 22 November 1930. Hodgson's third and final international appearance for England came against Scotland in a 2–0 defeat in a British Home Championship match at Hampden Park, Glasgow on 28 March 1931. He also represented England against the Rest in a 3–2 win in an international trial match at Highbury, London on 4 March 1931 and the Football League against the Scottish League, scoring once in a 7–3 win in an Inter-League match at White Hart Lane, London on 5 November 1930.
Cricket career
As well as being an outstanding footballer Hodgson was also a talented cricketer. He once took all 10 wickets in an innings for just 13 runs in an amateur match against Liverpool Police. Seeing his obvious potential, Lancashire soon signed him up to play for them. An extremely quick right-arm fast bowler and hard hitting lower order right-hand batsman, Hodgson played 56 first-class matches for the Red Rose county, from 1928 to 1933, scoring 244 runs at an average of 6.97 and taking 148 wickets at an average of 27.75. He also took 38 catches. His highest score in first-class cricket was 20 for Lancashire against India at Aigburth in 1932. His best bowling figures in first-class cricket were 6–77 for Lancashire against Middlesex at Lord's in 1932. Hodgson twice helped Lancashire to win the County Championship, in 1928 and 1930, although his football career clearly took priority, as he didn't play a single game of cricket in April or September (and only one Second XI match in August) throughout his time at Old Trafford.
Football management career
Port Vale
After the war Hodgson went into management, taking over the reins at Third Division South club Port Vale in October 1946. He was manager when the club moved from the Old Recreation Ground to their new home of Vale Park in 1950. Unfortunately most of the money the club raised went towards the new ground, leaving Hodgson unable to spend money in the transfer market. This included the £12,000 he got for right-half Bill McGarry, and the £20,000 he got from the sale of striker Ronnie Allen. Hodgson managed Port Vale in 222 matches, winning 84, drawing 54 and losing 84. He was greatly respected both for his pre-war sporting career and also for encouraging young footballers in North Staffordshire. He had a reputation for having the ability to spot talented players and was not afraid to blood them in the league, and was also a good motivator. He applied for the vacant management position at Everton in September 1948.
Final years and death
Following the resignation of Liverpool manager George Kay in January 1951 due to health reasons, Hodgson was among the hopefuls who were interviewed for the manager's job at Anfield. Don Welsh was eventually appointed, while Hodgson was admitted to hospital a couple of months later but his "throat complaint" was deemed inoperable. He returned to his home in Burslem after a month in hospital and a few days later, with a promising managerial career still in its infancy, he died of cancer on 14 June 1951, at the age of just 47. Port Vale legend Roy Sproson had Hodgson as his first boss: "Gordon Hodgson was a fair chap. He would give you a rollicking one minute and then it would be forgotten. Everybody liked him and his loss was so sad." His benefit match was held against Port Vale's local rivals Stoke City on 1 October 1951, Vale lost the game 2–1. £383 was raised for his dependants.

His educational career began in January, 1957 at the age of seven in Native Authority Junior Primary School, Bafwoi-Ka̠nai (Gora Bafai). After passing his entrance examination in 1961, he got admitted into Native Authority Senior Primary School, Kachia. In 1963, Bungwon got admitted into Government Technical School, Soba, Zaria, where he had a two and a half year stint before he got admitted in 1965 into the prestigious Government Technical College, Kano. He thereafter developed the interest in studying Mechanical engineering while in Government Technical College, Kano, which prompted him to apply for and successfully got awarded a Bureau for External Aid Scholarship to study in the USSR in 1969 on completion of his secondary school level, form five.
Between 1971 – 1975, he studied Mechanical Engineering and obtained a bachelor's degree (B.Tech.) and master's degree (M.Tech.) at the Byelorussian Technical University, Minsk, where he graduated with distinction. In 1977, he proceeded for his doctorate (Ph.D.) programme to the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, United Kingdom and graduated in 1980.
Career
Bungwon was an erudite scholar, a distinguished Engineer, a teacher emeritus, a diplomat and a celebrated fellow of the Nigeria Society of Engineers with over 16 years of scholarship, teaching in one of Africa's largest polytechnics, Kaduna Polytechnic.
Between 1986 – 2002, Bungwon served as:

Awards and memberships
Awards
In recognition of his career of excellence, Dr. H. Y. Bungwon was a recipient of several honours and awards including:
Russian Red Diploma of Distinction (1975)
Nigeria Society of Engineers’ Merit Award (2002)
Traditional Title of Yariman Atyap (2003).
Memberships
As a Manchester-trained Engineer, Bungwon had been an associate member of the Institute of Industrial Managers, United Kingdom; a member of the American Institute of Industrial Engineers and a registered engineer with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering of Nigeria (COREN).
Enthronement
At the demise of his predecessor, HRH Agwam B. A. Dauke (Agwatyap I) in 2005, Bungwon reigned as Agwatyap II and was the second indigenous Agwam (Monarch) of the Atyap Nation.

Legacy
During his years of active service as a civil servant, Bungwon wholeheartedly contributed to the growth and development of engineering study in Nigeria and beyond. Even till today, his outstanding legacy is still making great impact on Kaduna State engineering as a whole.
Like a sensitive father as he was, HRH Agwam Dr. H. Y. Bungwon knew the meaning of service. As a practising Christian, he had kept close in mind the words of the Lord Jesus Christ which says: This is fitting, he had had to learn to serve people all his life. HRH had always derived joy in bringing satisfaction to others.
He has flown several kites but has still accepted to come down as Agwatyap, Atyap Traditional Council, Atak Njei, Zangon Kataf.
As the second indigenous Royal Father to rule over the Atyap Nation, Agwam Dr. H. Y. Bungwon had a great responsibility meeting the expectations of Atyap and her neighbours. In his own words: But he had a vision. In his vision, he sets a sterling example, not only to other chiefdoms, but also to leaders in the state.
At the demise of Bungwon, the lawmaker representing Zangon Kataf/Jaba federal constituency, Barr. Sunday Marshall Katung described him as a peacemaker who in his words added...:

Parsiana is a semi-monthly magazine written in English and published in Bombay for the Zoroastrian community. As of 2019, it was in its 55th year of publication.
History
1960-70s
Parsiana was founded in Bombay on November 1964 by Pestonji Warden. The magazine covered articles about Zoroastrian religion, its history, customs and traditions, with the tagline "A new medium for old wisdom."
The magazine became embroiled in community politics especially when Warden argued with the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) over the printing of the month at the Godrej Printing Press run by the apex Bombay trust. For some time, it was cyclostyled.[1]
In 1973, Warden sold the publication to the journalist Jehangir Patel. In 1983, ownership of the publication was transferred to Parsiana Publications Private Limited.
1980s
Parsiana was the first publication in India to use the prefix Ms when referring to women instead of Miss and Mrs, despite opposition from some readers. It has since dropped both Mr and Ms.
Beginning in 1987, Parsiana published information surrounding community births, marriages, and deaths in the Zoroastrian community in Bombay; as well as sporadic data received from outstation sources. In 1988, it published data on interfaith marriages in Bombay which proved highly controversial. There was a public outcry as a taboo had been broken.
Other publications
The Parsiana Book Of Iranian Names was first published by Parsiana in 1978. The names were compiled by the late Avesta and Pahlavi scholar Ervad Jamshed Katrak.
In 2005, Parsiana published Judgments, a compilation of judgements delivered in legal cases on the Zoroastrian community.
Parsiana started a website in 2002 which carried extracts from the magazine. Beginning in December 2012, the entire contents of Parsiana issues have been published online.

"Will You Be There (In the Morning)" is a song by American rock band Heart. The ballad was written by veteran songwriter and producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who was responsible for writing Heart's US number-two single "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" in 1990, and was released as the first single from the band's 11th studio album, Desire Walks On (although "Black on Black II" was released to radio first). Unlike the majority of Heart songs, which feature Ann Wilson on lead vocals, the lead singer on the song is Nancy Wilson. The song was released in the United Kingdom in November 1993 and was released in the United States the following month.
"Will You Be There" peaked at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100; it became the last song by Heart to enter the US top 40. Despite this, it was a top-20 Adult Contemporary success. Together with "You're the Voice", it is Heart's only song to perform better in the United Kingdom than the US, rising to number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. In Canada, the song reached number eight, giving Heart their eighth and final top-10 single, but it was not their last top-40 hit there. It additionally charted within the top 40 in Australia, Iceland, and New Zealand.

Rodoljub "Roćko" Čolaković (; 7 June 1900 – 30 March 1983) was a Yugoslav politician and writer who served as the 1st Prime Minister of PR Bosnia and Herzegovina and as the Minister for PR Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Provisional Government of DF Yugoslavia led by Josip Broz Tito. He was a major general in the Yugoslav People's Army and in the National Liberation Army during World War II.
Biography
Born in Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria-Hungary on 7 June 1900, Čolaković joined the League of Communists of Yugoslavia in April 1919 as a student. Later, he joined Crvena Pravda ("Red Justice"), a left-wing terrorist organisation which assassinated Yugoslav interior minister Milorad Drašković on 21 July 1921. For his role in the assassination, Čolaković was sentenced to 12 years in prison. While serving his sentence, he made friends with many notable Yugoslav communists, including Moša Pijade with whom he translated Das Kapital and other seminal Marxist texts into Serbo-Croatian.
After his release, Čolaković emigrated to the Soviet Union and in 1937 travelled to Spain to take part in the Spanish Civil War on the Republican side. He later came back to Yugoslavia, participating in World War II. Between 1946 and 1955, Čolaković published five volumes of Zapisa iz oslobodilačkog rata ("Memoir of the liberation war") from his war diaries. In addition to writing newspaper articles, propaganda leaflets and books on World War II, he also published two autobiographies Kuća oplakana ("House of Mourning") and Kazivanje o jednom pokolenju ("Stories of One Generation). Čolaković died on 30 March 1983 at the age of 82 in Belgrade.
Awards and decorations
Domestic awards
After World War II, Čolaković was awarded many high profile Yugoslav orders, the biggest one of them being the Order of the People's Hero, which he was awarded on 27 November 1953.
Foreign awards
Čolaković was also awarded two foreign orders; the Polish Order of Polonia Restituta and the Soviet Order of Kutuzov.

Zebra Three is a radio call sign, given by the fictional "Bay City, California" police department of the iconic 1970s television series Starsky & Hutch to Robbery-Homicide Division detectives David Starsky and Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson; the BCPD was loosely based upon the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) . The "Zebra" part of their call sign refers to them being a geographic patrol unit assigned to a special detail; however, the LAPD normally does this with uniformed officers. Several Los Angeles locations were used for "Bay City", and uniformed police officers were seen wearing "BCPD" shoulder patches. Fans of the show applied the code name as a nickname for the Ford Gran Torino that Starsky owned; the general public picked up on it, and the car has been known since (incorrectly) as "Zebra Three", or more correctly the "Striped Tomato".

Originally, the show's creator, William Blinn, was to have Starsky drive a green and white high performance Chevrolet Camaro because he remembered one that he had previously owned.
When the production was being planned, the studio was unable to locate another green and white Chevrolet Camaro or order a 1975 Camaro from General Motors, because of their lease contract with the Ford Motor Company.
'Perfect Car'
When production started on the pilot, Ford Motor Company's studio-TV car loan program was the lease supplier for Spelling-Goldberg Productions that year. Producers looked at lease stock and chose two (one main, one backup) 351 Windsor V8-powered "Bright Red" (code 2B) 2-door Gran Torinos to portray Starsky's automobile.
The cars were equipped with chrome exterior rearview mirrors and protective black vinyl bodyside moldings, and the interiors were black with vinyl bench seats. On top of the factory paint the distinctive white "vector" stripe with bordering black pinstripe was applied. The Torinos had their rear ends lifted by air shocks and were equipped with "U.S." brand 5-slot aluminum wheels with larger rear tires plus a chrome tip on the exhaust pipe.
They also replaced the original 2.75 to 1 rear axle gearing (standard, along with automatic transmission, on 1975 and newer Torinos) with numerically higher gears for better acceleration during stunt driving scenes; this was done during all four seasons to the S-G Torinos. Engine sounds were dubbed into the show soundtrack since the Torinos were mechanically stock; emissions laws forbade modifying the engines or emissions systems of new cars.
When the pilot was successful, Spelling-Goldberg ordered two new 1975 Torinos for the first season. These cars were powered by 400 Modified V8s because extra power was going to be needed for additional stunt driving scenes; from the second to fourth seasons, three 1976 Torinos powered by 460 Lima V8s were used. Due to the success of the series, Ford produced 1,000 "limited edition" replicas of the Starsky and Hutch Torino from March to May 1976 at the Chicago assembly plant. Spelling-Goldberg leased one for a backup vehicle; it was known as "Unit 129". During the series' run, several 1974 to 1976 Gran Torinos were used as stunt cars to minimize damage, wear and tear on the main vehicles.
While Spelling-Goldberg was happy with the Torinos, the stars (specifically Paul Michael Glaser, who played Dave Starsky) were not so pleased. In fact, when Aaron Spelling showed Glaser his character's car, which Spelling had dubbed as the "surprise" that he had outside, Glaser's reaction was more of disgust rather than pleasure. His initial reply was "it's red."
When interviewed about the Torino, which became the de facto "third star", Glaser had no qualms about saying he did not like the car at all. He was quoted as saying "it was huge, it had no pickup, it couldn't handle," and in all of the scenes where he would lock the brakes to stop at a crime scene and bump the car off the curb, Glaser was purposely trying to break the Torino.
Lea Dilallo, a main character in the TV series The Good Doctor, owns a pristine example which has featured prominently in several episodes.
