Mauri Repo (31. January 1945 – 19. May 2002) was the head coach of the Finnish Workers' Sports Federation (Suomen Työväen Urheiluliitto, TUL) during 1981–1987. By profession he was a physical education teacher and for some time worked in the Jyväskylä city administration as director of the sports department. He is the first known person to write about nordic walking and considered its author.
Mauri Repo and Nordic Walking
Mauri Repo played an important as both a TUL coach and a coach trainer. Also, he was indispensable in the creation of many training and educational materials concerning skiing.
In Repo's skisport handbooks „Hiihdon lajiosa“ (1974), „Hiihdon lajiosa” (1979), „Nuorten hiihdon valmennusopas” (1983) ja „Hiihdon 2-tason koulutusmateriaali” (1989) is the first known introduction of nordic walking (along with nordic walking exercises and its importance in the summertime preparation of skiers). At the time of publishing nordic walking had not yet gained recognition as a standalone sport. Repo is the author of nearly ten sport handbooks.

Not Fade Away is an American drama film directed by David Chase. It was released on December 21, 2012.
Plot
In 1960s suburban New Jersey, a group of friends form a rock band and try to make it big.
In his late teens, Doug Damiano lives with his father, Pat, who suffers from psoriasis and is physically rough with Doug; his mother, Antoinette, who frequently grows hysterical and threatens suicide; and his sister, Evelyn. Doug sees his friend Gene Gaunt singing and playing lead guitar for a band in high school, and resolves to join the band to earn the affections of Grace Dietz. He gets his chance when the band's drummer, Schindewulf, is drafted to go to Vietnam.
In the wake of the "British Invasion", Gene is trying to remodel his band after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and he believes Doug is suited to this style. After an awkward bass player loses his position, the core of the band is Doug, Gene, and their friend Wells. Wells plays rhythm guitar, and Doug plays drums and sings backup vocals.
At a party Gene accidentally swallows a joint while trying to smoke it and is unable to sing. Doug takes over on lead vocals, and the band members later agree that he is superior to Gene. Gene feels threatened by Doug and tries to keep the spotlight on himself. Doug tells his father that he intends to join the army and get an ROTC scholarship, but abandons these plans after the Vietnam War begins. He drops out of college to pursue his musical career full-time, causing a rift between himself and Pat.
Eventually Doug gets involved with Grace, but their relationship suffers when Wells reveals that Grace used to fellate him and others regularly. Doug and Grace have an argument in which she wrongly accuses him of sleeping with her sister, Joy. During a concert, Gene juggles firecrackers in protest of the war, but fumbles and burns his scalp, humiliating himself and the band. Doug goes to Gene's house to formally kick him out of the band, and Gene beats him up until his father intervenes.
After Joy's parents commit her to a mental hospital, Doug and the grief-stricken Grace get back together. As Pat learns that his psoriasis is actually mycosis fungoides cancer, he begins to mellow, taking Doug out to dinner and revealing family secrets.
By 1967, Doug and Wells get the opportunity to audition for Jerry Ragovoy. They recruit Gene back into the band for the audition, although Gene tells them he wants a "featured" credit on their performance of an original song, "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre". Ragovoy sees potential in the band, but outlines a rigorous performance schedule before he's ready to sign them to a contract. He says that great music is "ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration," a sentiment Pat earlier expressed to Doug. The band is unenthusiastic about following Jerry's instructions.
After Wells is injured in a motorcycle accident, the potential record deal is postponed for another year. Losing interest in the rock and roll lifestyle, Doug decides to go to film school in California. At a party in Hollywood, he sees Charlie Watts leaving the house and hears a rumor that Mick Jagger is in the bathroom with several women, although nobody actually sees Jagger.
Doug tries to hitchhike home and is invited into a car by a strange-looking woman who says he looks lonesome. He refuses the ride. Looking around downtown Los Angeles, he sees illuminated clouds that had inspired him before. Smiling, he walks down the street.
Evelyn walks down the same street, and muses aloud that she is writing an essay about America's two biggest innovations: nuclear weapons and rock 'n roll. She asks which one will win in the end, then dances to the Sex Pistols' cover of "Roadrunner" in the street.

Reception
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 68% of 92 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 6.50/10. The site's consensus reads, "Exuberant and bittersweet, Not Fade Away is a coming-of-age story set to a British Invasion beat that occasionally meanders but mostly charms."
Keith Uhlich of Time Out New York named Not Fade Away the second-best film of 2012, citing it as proof that Chase's work on The Sopranos was "no fluke". In 2020, Uhlich named it the eighth-best film of the 2010s.

He served in the US Army (G-2) after graduating from law school (from 1953 to 1955). Lambert began working as a lawyer in 1955 with the law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCloy in New York City. From 1966 to 1990, Lambert was a partner of Breed, Abbott & Morgan leaving when he became a United States Ambassador.
Lambert joined the law firm McLaughlin & Stern as a partner in early 2004, focusing on estate planning, estate and trust administration, and Surrogate's Court litigation. During his legal career, Lambert “has been involved in some of the most significant estate and trust litigations of the last several decades, including Matter of Rothko, Estate of J. Seward Johnson, Matter of Stillman and Matter of Rockefeller.”
Long active in New York State politics, Lambert was a member of the Executive Committee of the New York State Republican Party from 1983 to 1990 and served as a Steering Committee and Finance Committee member of the 1988 George Bush for President election campaign.

An escape trunk is a small compartment on a submarine which provides a means for crew to escape from a downed submarine; it operates on a principle similar to an airlock, in that it allows the transfer of persons or objects between two areas of different pressure.
Principle of operation
The water pressure on the outer hatch is always greater than the air pressure inside the submarine, which prevents opening the hatch. Only when the pressure inside the escape chamber is equal to the sea pressure can the hatch be opened. Thus the compartment must be sealed off from the interior of the submarine and the pressure inside the chamber must be raised to sea pressure in order to make it possible to open the escape hatch.
Operation
The drain valve is opened to ensure any residual water is drained from the compartment, and the pressure between the interior of the submarine and the escape trunk is equalized.
The drain valve is closed, 6–8 people climb up through the lower hatch into the escape chamber, and the lower hatch is shut. Before climbing into the chamber, the escapees don a Steinke hood or Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment, which will provide an air supply during the ascent to the surface.
The seawater valve is opened to flood the chamber. As the chamber floods, the air in the chamber is compressed until its pressure is equal to the sea pressure. When the pressure in the chamber is equalized with the sea pressure, the flooding of the chamber will stop. The water level must rise above the level of the escape tube (see diagram). Additional air is vented into the chamber from the high pressure air supply to raise the air pressure. A bubble of air at the top of the chamber remains for the persons inside to breathe while awaiting their turns to exit the chamber.
The first escapee’s Steinke hood is filled with air from a hose attached to the high pressure air line before departing. Pressure in the hood must be equalized with ambient air/water pressure. The first escapee climbs up through the escape tube and pushes the hatch open. The hatch could not have been opened until the interior pressure of the chamber was equalized with sea pressure. Once outside the chamber, the buoyancy of the air inside the Steinke hood will quickly carry the escapee to the surface. As the person rises to the surface, the ambient water pressure decreases and thus the air in the person’s lungs and in hood expands. Thus escapees must continuously exhale all the way to the surface to release the expanding air from the lungs.
One by one, each escapee’s Steinke hood is filled with air and the person climbs out the escape tube and rises to the surface. The last person out must push the outer hatch shut before departing.
Inside the submarine, the drain valve is opened to drain the water from the chamber and equalize the pressure to that within the submarine. The pressure inside the chamber will quickly force all water from the chamber out the drain valve. Lowering the pressure inside the chamber will also force the outer hatch shut again because of greater sea pressure outside the submarine. Then the cycle begins again until everyone has left the submarine.
DSRV rescue
The escape trunk can also be used for the rescue of a crew inside a disabled submarine using a Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV). The crew of the DSRV will maneuver the vessel above the upper hatch of the escape trunk and then latch on to the submarine using the built-in eyes on the outer hull of the submarine. Most submarines do not have the built-in eyes and rely on the DSRV establishing a watertight seal on the area surrounding the hatch. Once the sub has settled on the correct location the skirt is pumped out and the hydrostatic pressure on the exterior of the skirt is enough to maintain the seal when the hatches are opened and the transfer undertaken. The crew can then quickly equalize the pressure in the small chamber between the DSRV and the submarine and open their own lower hatch.
On the outside of the upper hatch of the escape trunk is often a shaft connected to the wheel that operates the locking mechanism. The crew of the DSRV can attach a wheel to the shaft and turn the shaft to unlock the hatch, thus providing access to the interior of the submarine. This is a risky operation, as when a submarine has been damaged enough to sink, it is possible there was an ingress of water into the pressure hull raising the internal pressure above the normal 1 bar.

C.P. Jones House and Law Office, also known as the Jones-McCoy House, Almond-Strickler House, and James Bell House, is a historic home and law office located at Monterey, Highland County, Virginia. The original section of the house dates to about 1850. Originally the house was a two-story, five-bay, side-gabled, four-room log building on a stone foundation. Several rooms and porches were added between the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century and has a Folk Victorian style. The law office was built about 1873, and is a one-story, front gable, frame building. Also on the property are the contributing two-story, side-gabled garage/smoke house/woodshed, a one-story, front-gabled apple shed/cellar, a one-story brick spring house ruin. It was the home of American soldier and politician Charles Pinckney Jones (1845-1914).
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

When the Second World War in Europe began, the territory which now forms the country of Belarus was divided between the Soviet Union (specifically the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic) and the Second Polish Republic. The borders of Soviet Belarus were greatly expanded in the Soviet invasion of Poland of 1939. In 1941, the country was occupied by Nazi Germany. Following the German military disasters at Stalingrad and Kursk, the collaborationist Belarusian Central Council (BCC) was formed by the Germans in order to raise local support for their anti-Soviet operations. The BCC in turn formed the twenty-thousand strong Belarusian Home Defence (BKA), active from 23 February 1944 to 28 April 1945. Assistance was offered by the local Soviet administrative governments, and prewar public organizations including the former Soviet Belarusian Youth. The country was soon retaken by the Red Army in 1944. Devastated by the war, Belarus lost significant populations and economic resources. Many battles occurred in Belarusian and neighbouring territory. Belarusians also participated in regional conflicts.
September 1939 – June 1941
The Molotov–Ribbentrop Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939 had established a non-aggression agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and a secret protocol described how Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland (Second Polish Republic) and Romania would be divided between them.
In the Invasion of Poland of 1939 the two powers invaded and partitioned Poland, and to return the Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Moldavian territories in the North and North-Eastern regions of Romania (Northern Bucovina and Bessarabia).
The Polish defense was already broken, with their only hope being retreat and reorganisation in the south-eastern region (the Romanian Bridgehead), when on 17 September 1939, it was rendered obsolete overnight. The 800,000 strong Soviet Union Red Army, divided into the Belarusian and Ukrainian fronts, invaded the eastern regions of Poland that had not yet been involved in military operations, in violation of the Soviet-Polish Non-Aggression Pact. Soviet diplomacy were protecting the Ukrainian and Belarusian minorities inhabiting Poland in view of Polish imminent collapse.
Polish border defence forces (Korpus Ochrony Pogranicza) in the east (about 25 battalions) were unable to defend the border, and Edward Rydz-Śmigły further ordered them to fall back and not engage the Soviets. This, however, did not prevent some clashes and small battles, like the defence of Grodno was defended by soldiers and local population. The Soviets murdered a number of Poles, including prisoners-of-war like General Józef Olszyna-Wilczyński. Ukrainians rose against the Poles, and communist partisans organised local revolts, e.g. in Skidel, robbing and murdering Poles. Those movements were quickly disciplined by the NKVD.
Prior to the Soviet partisans support from the East, the Polish military's fall-back plan had called for long-term defence against Germany in the southern-eastern part of Poland (near the Romanian border), while awaiting relief from a Western Allies attack on Germany's western border. However, the Polish government decided that it was impossible to carry out the defence on Polish territories. There was retaliation to surrender or negotiate for peace with Germany and ordered all units to evacuate Poland and reorganize in France.
Meanwhile, Polish forces tried to move towards the Romanian bridgehead area, still actively resisting the German invasion.
From 17 September to 20 September, the Polish Armies Kraków and Lublin were crippled at the Battle of Tomaszów Lubelski, the second largest battle of the campaign. Oksywie garrison held until 19 September. Polish gained victory at the battle of Szack, and the Red Army reached the line of rivers Narew, Bug, Vistula and San by September 28, in many cases meeting German units advancing from the other side. The last operational unit of the Polish Army, General Franciszek Kleeberg's Samodzielna Grupa Operacyjna "Polesie", capitulated after the 4-day Battle of Kock near Lublin on 6 October, marking the end of the September Campaign.
Adolf Hitler had argued in Mein Kampf of the necessity of acquiring new territory for German settlement () in Eastern Europe. However, these plans were delayed through the period of the Phoney War, followed by the Nazi invasions of Norway, France and Benelux, Denmark, and the failed Battle of Britain.
Polish citizens took an active part in the Soviet partisan movement in the occupied territory of the former USSR. 2,500 Polish citizens took part in the Soviet partisan movement in the territory of the Byelorussian SSR, of which 703 were awarded with Soviet state awards A further 2000 Polish citizens took part in the Soviet partisan movement on the territory of the USSR.
June 1941 – September 1941
At 04:45 on 22 June 1941, four million German soldiers, to be joined by Italian, Romanian and other Axis troops over the following weeks, burst over the borders and stormed into the Soviet Union, including the Byelorussian SSR. For a month the offensive was completely unstoppable north of the Pripiet marshes, as the Panzer forces encircled hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in huge pockets that were then reduced by slower-moving infantry divisions while the panzers charged on, following the Blitzkrieg doctrine.
Army Group Centre comprised two Panzer groups (2nd and 3rd), which rolled east from either side of Brest and affected a double encirclement at Belostok and west of Minsk. They were followed by 2nd, 4th and 9th Armies. The combined Panzer force reached the Berezina river in just six days, from their start lines. The next objective was to cross the Dnieper river, which was accomplished by 11 July. Following that, their next target was Smolensk, which fell on 16 July, but the engagement in the Smolensk area blocked the German advance until mid-September, effectively disrupting the blitzkrieg.
With the capture of Smolensk and the advance to the Luga river, Army Groups Centre and North had completed their first major objective: to get across and hold the "land bridge" between the Dvina and Dnieper.
The German generals argued for an immediate drive towards Moscow, but Hitler overruled them, citing the importance of Ukrainian grain and heavy industry if under German possession, not to mention the massing of Soviet reserves in the Gomel area between Army Group Centre's southern flanks and the bogged-down Army Group South to the south.
After a meeting held in Orsha between the head of the Army General Staff, General Halder, and the heads of three Army Groups and armies, it was decided to push forward to Moscow since it was better, as argued by head of Army Group Center, Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, for them to try their luck on the battlefield rather than just sit and wait while their opponent gathered more strength.
Occupation and Collaboration 1941 – June 1944
Atrocities against the Jewish population in the conquered areas began almost immediately, with the dispatch of Einsatzgruppen (task groups) to round up Jews and shoot them. Local gentiles were encouraged to carry out their own pogroms. By the end of 1941, there were more than 50,000 troops devoted to rounding up and killing Jews. In three years of occupation, between one and two million Soviet Jews were killed.
June 1944 – May 1945
In the summer of 1944 a balcony-shaped frontline had shaped following advances by the Red Army during late 1943. This invited an encirclement attack to cut off and destroy Army Group Centre. For Operation Bagration, as it was to be called, the Red Army achieved a ratio of ten to one in tanks and seven to one in aircraft over the enemy. At the points of attack, the numerical and quality advantages of the Soviets were overwhelming. More than 2.5 million Soviet troops went into action against the German Army Group Centre, which could boast a strength of less than 800,000 men. The Germans crumbled, with the loss of almost 400,000 men who were either overrun or encircled. Minsk, the capital, was taken on 3 July 1944, trapping 100,000 Germans. Ten days later the Red Army reached the prewar Polish border. In West Belarus, as the Red Army approached the Polish Home Army launched the Operation Tempest. Despite the war now passing out of Belarus, the Soviet Fronts name "Byelorussian" kept their name until the end of the war, and were to distinguish themselves in the battles in Poland and Germany in 1944 and 1945.
In the Soviet Union the end of World War II in Europe is considered to be 9 May, when the surrender took effect Moscow time. This date is celebrated as a national holiday, Victory Day, or День Победы in Belarus, Russia and some other post-Soviet countries.

NCAA independent lacrosse schools are four-year institutions in the United States that do not belong to a lacrosse-only conference or a primary all-sports conference that sponsors lacrosse. As of the 2016–17 academic year there are 22 men's and 9 women's lacrosse programs in Division I, Division II, and Division III that compete as independents.
Division I
Men's
The only team to play as an independent in the most recent 2023 season was Hartford, which began a transition from Division I to Division III in the 2021–22 school year. The 2022–23 school year, in which Hartford's entire athletic program (except men's and women's golf) was independent, was the last for Hartford in Division I, as it joined the D-III Commonwealth Coast Conference in July 2023.
One school is a potential independent in the 2024 season. Le Moyne started a transition from Division II to Division I in July 2023 as the newest member of the Northeast Conference, which sponsors all of Le Moyne's current sports except men's lacrosse.
Potential independent
Women's
Four schools competed as D-I independents in the 2023 season. As noted above, Hartford was a full independent in its final D-I season before moving to D-III in July 2023. San Diego State and UC Davis became independents after the 2021 season, when their former women's lacrosse home of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation shut down its league due to a lack of sponsoring members. Both joined Pac-12 Conference women's lacrosse after the 2023 season. Xavier played its inaugural women's lacrosse season as an independent before starting play in its full-time home of the Big East Conference in 2024.
No programs will compete as independents in the 2024 season. After the 2023 season, two programs that had been full members of conferences that sponsor women's lacrosse moved to conferences that do not sponsor the sport. Cincinnati left the American Athletic Conference for the Big 12 Conference, and Liberty left the ASUN Conference for Conference USA. Both schools kept their women's lacrosse programs in their former full-time conferences.

Frank Sherlock is an American poet, and second Poet Laureate of Philadelphia. He was a 2013 Pew Fellow in the Arts.
Life
Frank Sherlock was the 2014-15 Poet Laureate of Philadelphia, and a 2013 Pew Fellow in the Arts for Literature.
His most recent collection of poems is Space Between These Lines Not Dedicated (Ixnay Press, 2014.) Sherlock approaches the work of a poet as conduit, and views writing poems as "collaborations of encounter." His projects are often collaborative.
The City Real and Imagined (Factory School, 2010) was written with the poet C. A. Conrad as a re-visioning of public spaces in what they refer to as "the City of Otherly Love." The two embarked on self-guided psycho-geographical wanders through Philadelphia, each beginning at LOVE Park.
Sherlock's time in New Orleans in 2006 resulted in a collaboration with poet Brett Evans, entitled Ready-To-Eat Individual (Lavender Ink, 2008). In an interview with Katy Henriksen for Oxford American: New Orleans & the Gulf Coast Issue, 2008: "The cases of DIY rebirth were everywhere around us, and it was a secret that had stayed within the region’s limits. Also, the effects of a city (with virtually no public services) trying to deal with a shared psychic wound of post-traumatic stress, its effect on the kids of New Orleans shuffled across town into schools with more security guards than teachers, the spike in street crime (partly as a result of these things) and other issues of displacement are largely untold stories in the national conversation. But there is also the light and dark magic of the city that cannot be explained in a straight-ahead journalist pursuit. Brett and I decided we could best talk about the state of the city post- [Hurricane] Katrina through the medium of poetry."
"I approach poetry as a cartographer," said Sherlock. "...mapping and remapping your surroundings according to your personal memory and associations and histories that you've heard." His project as Poet Laureate, "Write Your Block," gives Philadelphians the opportunity to explore their neighborhoods via poetry. Originally a project with the city's Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, Write Your Block lives on at The Philadelphia Citizen, so people citywide can use poetry to map the personal landmarks, histories, traditions and experiences that help identify their communities.
In 2019 the literary community learned of a time in the late 1980s where he was with a white nationalism oriented skinhead punk group. His politics turned Left after he entered Temple University. He considers the white nationalist period of his life "a point of great shame for me" and the discovery of it led to debate.

The Seidelmann 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Bob Seidelmann as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1977.
Production
The design was built by Seidelmann Yachts in Berlin, New Jersey, United States, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Seidelmann 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces and carries of ballast.
The boat has a draft of with the standard keel and with the optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The portable-type head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is .
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216 and a hull speed of .
Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the Seidelmann Owners.
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: The S25's wide beam gives good space down below (though not as much as her comp[etitor]s). Worst features: Some owners complain about poor construction. With its relatively narrow waterline and soft bilges, the boat is tender in heavy air unless there is plenty of 'rail meat' on board."

Andrew Richard Pickles is an English biostatistician and Professor of Biostatistics and Psychological Methods in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2009. He became a Senior Investigator at the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in 2018 and was elected to the British Academy in 2020.
Beginning with an eclectic training in natural sciences and urban planning Andrew became interested in statistical modelling of human behaviour, particularly in relation to major aspects of the life-course. After teaching in Wales and the US and a postdoc in Cambridge he was appointed as statistician to the MRC Child Psychiatry Unit at the Maudsley hospital. Familiarisation with a range of statistical models led to a collaboration with Sophia Rabe-Hesketh in the development of a program and influential conceptual framework that integrated multilevel, structural equation and generalized linear models. With an intervening appointment in medical and social statistics at the University of Manchester he returned to King's College London in 2010. His varied applied work has largely focussed on atypical behavioural and neurodevelopmental child development particularly of children on the autism spectrum.

Dom Morris (born 29 July 1997) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a centre for Saracens in the Gallagher Premiership.
Club career
Born in Basildon, Morris attended New Hall School, where his performances caught the attention of Saracens. A boyhood fan of the club, Morris joined Saracen's academy when he was 15, following in the footsteps of his older brothers Vincent and Oli. Morris joined Bishop's Stortford on loan during the 2015–16 season, where he gained his first experience playing senior men's rugby, and joined Rosslyn Park on loan during the 2016–17 season, making his senior competitive debut for Saracens in their Anglo-Welsh Cup fixture against Scarlets on 27 January 2017.
Morris' progress was rewarded with a contract extension announced in November 2017. He gained further experience on dual-registration with Ampthill and Bedford Blues, and played a key role during the 2018–19 Premiership Rugby Cup, in which Saracens were runners-up, and during the 2018–19 Premiership Rugby Shield, which Saracens Storm won. Morris made his Premiership debut for the club away to Wasps on 27 April 2019, and, in a match that was his first home premiership appearance, he scored two tries in a 38–7 win against Exeter Chiefs on 4 May 2019.
Morris has spoken about his difficulties with injuries, which have disrupted his career. He signed a new two-year contract with Saracens in July 2020, and extended that deal for an undisclosed length of time in January 2022.
International career
Having previously represented England at under-16 and under-18 level, Morris missed out on playing for England under-20s at the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship due to injury, but he returned to the team to play in four out of five matches in their victorious 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship campaign. Later that year he was selected to compete at the 2017 World Rugby Under 20 Championship and scored two tries in their opening game against Samoa as England eventually finished runners up to New Zealand.
Morris is Irish-qualified through his grandmother.

Also includes hybrid, luxury, sport or tuned, military, electric and fuel cell versions. Due to similarity, Sport Utility Trucks are also in this list.
Note: Many of the vehicles (both current and past) are related to other vehicles in the list. A vehicle listed as a 'past model' may still be in production in an updated form under a different name, it may be listed under that name in the 'currently in production' section. Also, some vehicles are sold under different marques in different geographical locations, therefore some vehicles may be listed more than once but usually link to the same page. Different states may also classify vehicles differently. What may be considered an SUV in one state, may not in another state.

Dradition Pro-Wrestling (Dradition) is an independent Japanese professional wrestling promotion that, until 2008, was known as Muga World Pro Wrestling. The promotion was founded by and is owned by puroresu legend Tatsumi Fujinami, who has owned and operated it since its creation in August 2006.
The name of the promotion is a portmanteau of the words "tradition" and "dragon": the first term refers to the type of traditional wrestling promoted by Dradition, the so-called Inoki's "strong style", the second one is referred to Fujinami's nickname "The Dragon".
They run, on average, one show every 2–3 months and feature their talent as well as participation from other promotions including Dramatic Dream Team, Ice Ribbon and SMASH, usually freelancers but now & then with participation from the major federations. Some of their talent frequently appears elsewhere as well.

One Indian Girl is a novel by the Indian author Chetan Bhagat. The book is about a girl named Radhika Mehta, who is a worker at the Distressed Debt group of Goldman Sachs, an investment bank.
Plot
The novel features a character named Radhika, who is depicted as making arrangements for her upcoming wedding to Brijesh Gulati, a software engineer in San Francisco. Throughout the book, Radhika reflects on her life growing up in Delhi as a studious, introverted girl from a middle-class family. She also introduces her outgoing older sister, Aditi, and reveals her tendency to communicate with her inner "mini-me" or judgmental voice.
At a social event, Radhika was approached by her former partner, Debashish Sen, who wished to meet her. Despite declining his request, Sen appeared unexpectedly at her wedding ceremony in Goa and disrupted the traditional puja bhajan ceremony, causing distress to the bride. Later, Brijesh confronted Sen in the hotel gym, reproaching him for his past behavior.
The novel depicts Radhika's past, as she starts her job training at Goldman Sachs four years ago and enters a live-in relationship with Debu. However, her work in the Distressed debt department starts affecting her personal life and relationship with Debu. The couple has an argument after Radhika receives a bonus of 150,000 dollars, causing tension in their relationship.
Following a tumultuous year, Radhika sought to plan a future with her former partner, Debashish Sen. However, he expressed reservations about the idea, leading to a heated argument between the two. During this exchange, Sen conveyed that he was seeking a partner who was simple and would make a suitable homemaker, implying that Radhika did not meet these criteria. Ultimately, Sen chose to end the relationship. In an effort to reconcile, Radhika resigned from her job and proposed to Sen, but was devastated to discover him with another woman. Subsequently, she accepted a transfer to Goldman Sachs' Hong Kong office, bidding farewell to her life in New York.
After transferring to Goldman Sachs' Hong Kong office, Radhika's career prospers as she closes a big investment deal in the Philippines. Her attraction towards her married boss's boss, Neel Gupta, leads to an affair, but she eventually realizes their relationship has no future. Radhika takes another transfer to London and agrees to an arranged marriage after facing rejection from several suitors who were intimidated by her job and salary. She finally meets Brijesh and says yes to marriage.
The story concludes with Radhika calling off her wedding due to the overwhelming pressure and presence of her ex-boyfriends. She decides to take a break and travel, refusing proposals from both Neel and Debu. The book ends with Radhika meeting Brijesh again and the possibility of them dating and getting married.
Reception
A. R. Rahman praised Chetan Bhagat for expressing his feelings and articulating a particular point of view. The book has attracted some controversy due to the mention of The Beauty Myth by feminist author Naomi Wolf. The Indian Express calls the book "a likable handbook for feminists". Most sources described the book as "an improvement over Half Girlfriend."
Plagiarism controversy
The author Chetan Bhagat faced allegations of plagiarism for his book, which was found to have similarities to a short story written by Anvita Bajpai. As a result, a court order was issued to suspend the book's publication for a period of six months, following its initial launch.
Film adaptation
The rights for the film adaptation of this novel have been acquired by Sony Pictures International Productions.

Astragalus acutirostris is a species of milkvetch known by the common name sharpkeel milkvetch. It is native to the Mojave Desert and surroundings of California, Nevada, and Arizona, where it grows in dry, sandy, gravelly areas.
Description
Astragalus acutirostris is an annual legume growing a hairy reddish stem no more than 30 centimeters long along the ground or slightly upright. The small leaves are made up of several pairs of small oblong leaflets, each less than a centimeter long and often with notched tips. The inflorescence contains one to six white or pinkish-tinted pealike flowers, each with a banner that curves back.
The fruit is a slightly curved, narrow legume pod 1 to 3 centimeters long. The pod is thin-walled and coated sparsely in white hairs like the rest of the plant.

Luke Bruno Milanzi (born 4 December 1994), variously known as Luka Milanzi or Bruno Milanzi, is a former Malawian footballer.
Club career
Milanzi joined Congolese side TP Mazembe in 2010 from ESCOM United in suspicious circumstances, with FIFA having to intervene after Milanzi had signed a 3 and a half year deal, despite international rules stating players under 18 could only sign 3 year deals. The two sides' documentation reportedly did not match either, with rumours of Milanzi lying about his age, a common occurrence in African football. Because of this, when he called up to the Malawi national team in 2010, Milanzi had to travel through Zambia before entering Malawi, and often has trouble journeying between countries due to his questionable documents.
In January 2012, TP Mazembe loaned Milanzi to its affiliate CS Don Bosco. Milanzi remained under contract with TP Mazembe. However, he did not break into the first team, and would be loaned to NAPSA Stars and ZESCO United. In 2014, Milanzi was cleared to play for the Mighty Wanderers of his hometown, Blantyre, after initially not being able to sign due to preconditions on his loan release. He impressed during his time with The Nomads, who then extended his loan deal in 2015.
He signed on loan for the Big Bullets in 2016 from TP Mazembe.
He joined Masters Security in April 2017 in a loan deal from Big Bullets. However, due to an issue with wage payment, he left in late 2017 to join Blue Eagles. He played for the Eagles for a few months before being released.
Shortly after his release from the Eagles, Milanzi retired prematurely from football, citing an injury sustained during his time with TP Mazembe.
International career
Milanzi played for the Malawi under 17's at the 2009 African U-17 Championship, despite supposedly only being 14 at the time. He also played at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup where he made three appearances and scored a consolation goal in a 4-1 loss to Spain.
He made his one and only senior appearance in 2010, a second-half substitute in a friendly against Zimbabwe.
He was called up to the squad again in 2015 while playing for the Mighty Wanderers.
Coaching career
In 2020, Milanzi went into coaching, attending a course to obtain a Local D license and coaching at local Mzuzu club Bright Stars. He later went on to coach Rumphi United in the Super League of Malawi.

San Miguel was founded by the Spanish in 1797, when Mission San Miguel Arcángel was established by Fermín de Lasuén. San Miguel is a tourist destination with historic architecture and vineyards, as part of the Paso Robles wine region.
History
The area of San Miguel and the rest of the southern Salinas Valley was inhabited by the Salinans, an Indigenous Californian nation.
The Spanish founded the settlement at San Miguel on 25 July 1797, when Fermín de Lasuén established Mission San Miguel Arcángel, under the authority of the Franciscan Order. The site of the mission was specifically chosen due to its proximity to the large number of Salinan villages in the area. The interior of the mission church features murals executed under the direction of the famed artist Esteban Munrás in the 1820s.
The mission's location between Mission San Luis Obispo and Mission San Antonio de Padua provided a stop on the trip that had previously taken two days. In 1803, the mission reported an Indian population of 908, while its lands grazed 809 cattle, 3,223 sheep, 342 horses and 29 mules. That year's harvest included about 2,186 fanegas of wheat and corn (A fanega was about ). Most of the mission burned, while still being developed, in 1806. It was rebuilt within a year.
The Rios-Caledonia Adobe was built in 1835 just south of Mission San Miguel as a home for the overseer of mission lands.
On July 15, 1836, following the Mexican secularization of the missions, Mission San Miguel Arcángel was acquired by Ygnacio Coronel, a noted Californio ranchero and politician.
In 1846, Governor Pío Pico sold Mission San Miguel Arcángel for $600 to Petronilo Ríos and William Reed. Reed used the Mission as a family residence and a store. In 1848, Reed and his family were murdered, leaving the Mission vacant for a period of time. The Mission was a stopping place for miners coming from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and, consequently, was used as a saloon, dance hall, storeroom and living quarters.
In 1859, President James Buchanan returned the mission to the Catholic Church. In 1878, after 38 years without a resident priest, Padre Philip Farrelly became the first pastor of Mission San Miguel Arcángel since the secularization. In 1928, Mission San Miguel Arcángel and Mission San Antonio de Padua were both returned to the Franciscan Order, which led to their restorations and repairs.
The 2003 San Simeon earthquake caused severe damage to the sanctuary at Mission San Miguel. The Catholic Church considered closing the parish due to the extensive damage and the estimated $15 million cost of repair; however, the work has since been completed and the mission has since reopened.
In 2011, San Miguel's local business community formed the San Miguel Chamber of Commerce in order to promote the village's tourism and agricultural industries.

The neighborhood proper is located between the East River to the north; College Point and Whitestone Expressway to the west; Flushing and 25th Avenue to the south; and Bayside and Francis Lewis Boulevard to the east.
Whitestone contains the subsection of Malba, which is bounded to the north by the East River, to the east by the Whitestone Expressway, to the south by 14th Avenue, and to the west by 138th Street. Malba was cited in a New York Times article as one of the few "elite enclaves" of Queens.
Whitestone is located in Queens Community District 7 and its ZIP Code is 11357. It is patrolled by the New York City Police Department's 109th Precinct. Politically, Whitestone is represented by the New York City Council's 19th District.
History
Whitestone
Dutch settlers derived the name of the town from limestone that used to lie on the shore of the river according to a popular tradition. This tradition is supported by 17th century wills and deeds, which may be found in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, that refer to "the white stone" as a local landmark and survey reference point. Whitestone got its name because the settlers discovered that Whitestone was built on white limestone.
The area was, in large part, the estate of Francis Lewis, a delegate to the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The estate was the site of a British raid during the Revolutionary War. Lewis was not present but his wife was taken prisoner and his house was burned to the ground. For a period of time Whitestone was called Clintonville after Dewitt Clinton, the former governor of New York; this etymology is present in the name of Clintonville Street, located in the neighborhood. In the late 19th century, many wealthy New Yorkers began building mansions in the area, on what had once been farmland or woodland. Rapid development of the area ensued in the 1920s, however, as trolley and Long Island Rail Road train service on the Whitestone Branch was expanded into the neighborhood. Although this rail service ended during the Great Depression, part of the right-of-way was later used by Robert Moses to help construct the Belt Parkway, which includes the Whitestone Expressway which runs along the southeast edge of the former Flushing Airport and through Whitestone. Flushing Airport has been abandoned since 1985.
Further development came with the building of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge in 1939. The bridge measures 2,300 feet and was the fourth longest bridge in the world at the time of its construction.
Malba subsection
The name of the subsection of Malba in northern Whitestone is derived from the first letters of the surnames of its five founders of the Malba Land Company: Maycock, Alling, Lewis, Bishop, and Avis. Malba is considered part of Whitestone, one of the more affluent communities in Queens. Demographically, the population is mostly white and of European descent (Greek, Italian, Irish), as well as Jewish, with a small minority of Asian Americans. Most of the residential properties in Malba are large expensive homes.
The first known resident of the area known as present-day Malba was David Roe, who arrived from England in the 1640s. According to Clarence Almon Torrey's book, David Roe Of Flushing And Some Of His Descendants, Roe became a resident of Flushing circa 1666. In 1683, Roe was taxed upon owning and thereafter increased his holdings substantially, ultimately acquiring the upland around what was to become Malba. Roe's farm was on the east side of the bay, which was then known as "Roe's Cove". He was among the most well-to-do citizens of Flushing, owning lands, farm stock, carpenter's tools and two slaves.
In 1786, John Powell purchased Roe's parcel for 1,685 pounds, 6 shillings, and 8 pence. It has been reported that Roe lost his lands for his allegiance to the crown during the American War of Independence. Powell thereafter built a home and the cove was renamed "Powell's Cove", the name it bears today. During the 19th century, some of Powell's land passed into the hands of Harry Genet, a member of the Tammany Hall, New York City's infamous political machine. Powell's house was destroyed by fire in the 1890s.
During the second half of the 19th century, the Roe/Powell land passed to a succession of owners. A map dating from 1873 lists the Smiths, Biningers and Nostrands as landowners in the area. The Nostrand and Smith farms represented a large portion of what is Malba today. The area around Hill Court and 14th Avenue was known as "Whitestone Heights". In 1883 railroad service to Manhattan was extended on the "Whitestone and Westchester Railroad", later the Long Island Rail Road. The terminus of the Whitestone line was at "Whitestone Landing" (154th Street), a popular summer resort area during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
William Ziegler, a self-made industrialist and president of the Royal Baking Powder Company bought all these parcels in or about 1883 and his holdings became known as the "Ziegler Tract". Ziegler died on May 24, 1905, leaving his wife, Electa Matilda Ziegler (a philanthropist for the blind, among other things) and son, William Jr., then 14 years of age.
William S. Champ (Ziegler's former secretary) and W.C. Demarest (Mrs. Ziegler's nephew) (both to become among the first families residing in Malba) formed a Realty Trust to purchase the Ziegler tract from his estate for development purposes. Champ was vice president of the Realty Trust, and also one of the executors of Ziegler's estate. The Ziegler Tract had been appraised for $100,000 shortly after Ziegler's death. In the spring of 1906, the Realty Trust secured over 100 investors from New Haven, Guilford, Bridgeport, and other Connecticut towns, to the planned purchase of the Ziegler Tract. Based on a review of early maps of the area, the developers, at one point, planned a very densely populated community; with homes on lots no bigger than wide. Obviously, this plan was modified and much larger properties were developed. The trust represented to the investors that the property could be purchased from the Ziegler estate for $640,000. In fact, the which ultimately became Malba, had been earlier purchased from the Ziegler estate for $350,000. Thereafter such Connecticut residents as Samuel R. Avis, Noble P. Bishop, George W. Lewis, David R. Alling and George Maycock were elected trustees (altogether these were the five names that combined to form the MALBA name) of the Malba Land Company. The true, lesser, amount paid to Ziegler's estate was not uncovered until 1912. (For a complete discussion of the Realty Trust's acquisition of the land and its subsequent defense of a lawsuit from the Malba Land Company, see Crowe v. Malba Land Co., 135 N.Y.S. 454, 76 Misc. 676 (Sup. Ct. Queens Co. 1912)).
Development slowly began in 1908. A railroad station on the Whitestone line was added where 11th Avenue sits today. The Champs and Demarests were among Malba's first families to own homes in Malba. There were thirteen houses by the time of World War I and more than a hundred were built in the 1920s. The railroad station closed in 1932. The triangle by Malba Drive and 11th Avenue was dedicated as "Jane Champ Park" on November 16, 1969 and was renovated by the Malba Field and Marine Club in 2005.

Heavy Gear Fighter is a stand-alone two-player card game set in the Heavy Gear universe. It was published by Canadian game publisher Dream Pod 9 in 1994. The game is currently out of print.
Game Description
Heavy Gear Fighter is a card-based dueling game in which two Heavy Gears fight it out in the Badlands. It is not a collectible card game -- everything needed to play is contained in the box.
Every playing card is illustrated with a full color picture of a Gear. They are divided into Attacks of various strengths, Defenses, and Special Effects. Both players draw from the same pile.
The game does not use dice or paper. Each playable Gear has a full color record/action sheet that is used to keep track of actions/damage with small counters. Cards are dealt from a player's hand to cause damage, defend against enemy attacks, and create various special effects.
Expansion sets
The game received an official expansion set, Equipment & Weapons, in 1995. As its name implies, it added new Equipment and Weapon cards that could be played on the Gears.
Several "mini-sets" were included as promotional material in the pages of various magazines, notably Mecha Press and White Wolf Magazine. These cards were always optional and allowed players to create special combat conditions as well as execute different maneuvers.
A set was designed that would have featured new vehicles (notably tanks and Striders), but it was never published.
Reception
Scott Haring reviewed Heavy Gear Fighter in Pyramid #14 (August, 1995), and stated that "Heavy Gear Fighter: Showdown in the Badlands is a quick, colorful, tactical card game of mecha combat. The mecha in Heavy Gear aren't the titanic walking beasts of BattleTech or other games; they're a little smaller (a mere 15 feet or so tall), and have a terrific, lithe athletic look that the larger walking gun emplacements don't have."

Spectral is the debut release by the free improvising trio consisting of saxophonist Dave Rempis alongside Bay Area improvisers Darren Johnston and Larry Ochs, which was recorded in 2012 and released on Rempis' Aerophonic label.
Background
The trio came together in the fall of 2011, when Rempis journeyed to the West Coast to discover the Bay Area scene. Trumpeter Johnston, a frequent visitor to Chicago and collaborator of Rempis, suggested this lineup for a performance at Oakland’s Uptown Nightclub. Rempis returned to the Bay Area in the spring of 2012 for two more concerts and a studio session. Spectral was the result of that visit.
Reception
The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer says "They wield the full range—from lush long tones to abrasive cries to percussive pops—to create music that imparts both the thrill of instant creation and the satisfaction of elegant construction."
The All About Jazz review by Eyal Hareuveni notes "The trio anticipates each others' moves to combine sonic sensibilities and patiently accumulate into a coherent, loosely structured piece."

Aubin (; Languedocien: Aubinh) is a commune in the Aveyron department in the Occitanie of southern France.
The inhabitants of the commune are known as Aubinois.
Geography
Aubin is located some 20 km south-east of Figeac and immediately south of Decazeville. Access to the commune is by road D 5 from Viviez in the north-west which passes through the centre of the commune and the town and continues south to Montbazens. The D221 goes from the town north to Decazeville. The D 11 goes east from the town to Cransac. The minor D 513 road branches off the D 5 on the north-western border of the commune and goes east through the north of the commune to Firmi. The Capdenac-Gare to Rodez railway line passes through the commune and there is a station at the town: Aubin station. Apart from the town there are the hamlets and villages of Severac, Ruffies, Cerons, La Croix du Broual, Combes, Tramons, Ruau, Les Escabrins, and Saugiere. The commune is mixed forest and farmland with significant sized urban areas.
The Riou Morte flows through the north-eastern corner of the commune as it flows north-west before turning west at Decazeville. The Enne river flows through the commune and the town from the east and continues north-west to join the Riou Morte at Viviez. The Ruisseau du Banel flows from the east north of the village and joins the Enne on the north-western border of the commune.
History
Classical Antiquity
Lucien Mazars, an author of numerous books on local history, wrote in Aubin; its history, from its origins to the Revolution of 1789: "tradition [says] that Aubin, which bore the name Albin until the end of the 18th century, was founded by the Roman General Declus Clodius Albinus or in his honour". However, General Albinus did not exercise the functions of a legate in Gaul but rather in Roman Britain. His control of Gaul was probably too short to be able to found a town.
Middle Ages
Fort Aubin initially served as a fortress and then was occupied during the Middle Ages by the Lords of Rouergue. The town became the center of important coal mines, and also had iron mines.
Contemporary era
The commune was the capital of the District of Aubin from 1790 to 1800.
In October 1869 soldiers fired on a demonstration of miners killing 14 and injuring 20. This was the second strike in the Second Empire after the one in June 1869 at La Ricamarie. Captain Bernard Gosseran who gave the order to fire on strikers was later made a chevalier of the Legion of Honour. This tragedy inspired the Ode à la Misère (Ode to Misery) and the Aubin poems to Victor Hugo.
Aubin railway station on the Capdenac-Gare to Rodez line opened in 1858.

Phase conjugation is a physical transformation of a wave field where the resulting field has a reversed propagation direction but keeps its amplitudes and phases.
Description
It is distinguished from Time Reversal Signal Processing by the fact that phase conjugation uses a holographic or parametric pumping whereas time reversal records and re-emits the signal using transducers.
Holographic pumping makes the incident wave interact with a pump wave of the same frequency and records its amplitude-phase distribution. Then, a second pump wave reads the recorded signal and produces the conjugate wave. All those waves have the same frequency.
In parametric pumping, the parameters of the medium are modulated by the pump wave at double frequency. The interaction of this perturbation with the incident wave will produce the conjugate wave.
Both techniques allow an amplification of the conjugate wave compared to the incident wave.
As in time reversal, the wave re-emitted by a phase conjugation mirror will auto-compensate the phase distortion and auto-focus itself on its initial source, which can be a moving object.
Propagation of a time reversal replica demonstrates a remarkable property of phase-conjugated wave fields.
Phase conjugation of wave field means the inversion of linear momentum and angular momentum of light.
Phase conjugation methods exist in two main domains:
Acoustic phase conjugation
Optical phase conjugation

At the end of the 19th century, the commune was part of Putna County and was formed by the villages of Butuceni, Dimaciu, Dumbrăvița, and Suraia, with 3,041 inhabitants. In 1950, the commune was assigned to the Focșani raion of , then (after 1952) of Bârlad Region and (after 1956) of . In 1968, it was transferred to Vrancea County.
In December 1957–January 1958, during the Communist era, the peasants from Suraia and nearby Vadu-Roșca and Răstoaca resisted the collectivization of agriculture. Nine peasants from the area were shot dead, and 17 were wounded; 73 were tried and sentenced to long prison terms.

Congregation M'kor Shalom (meaning "Source of Peace") was a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 850 Evesham Road in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Founded in 1974, M'kor Shalom was affiliated with the Reform Movement.
History
Originally established at former locations in neighboring Marlton and Mount Laurel, the current building, which The New York Times described as "spectacular new gold brick and red-topped", opened in 1990 and is located on Evesham Road (CR 544) in an affluent area in Cherry Hill. Its main hall has polished wood, and stained glass windows created by Paul Friend. The synagogue is built on the site of the Butts House, built in the 18th century near the boundary of the township with Evesham Township and believed to have been first owned by the Matlack family.
In 1990, an Atlantic County grand jury indicted a man from Brooklyn on charges relating to his alleged theft of Torahs from the synagogue. That year the financially troubled Congregation Beth Jacob-Beth Israel in Cherry Hill loaned the synagogue torahs, went bankrupt, was purchased by Congregation M'kor Shalom, and planned to transfer all of its assets to it.
Rabbi Fred Neulander founded the synagogue with a few supporters from the Reform synagogue Temple Emanuel, and served until his resignation in 1995. He became publicly known after he was convicted of paying congregant Len Jenoff and drifter Paul Daniels $18,000 to murder his wife Carol on November 1, 1994. Her memorial service was attended by almost 1,000 people at the synagogue.
In 1997, 100 people were evacuated from the synagogue when a bomb threat was called in. No bomb was found. In 2000, the synagogue marked its 10th year of preparing casseroles for Ronald McDonald House and soup kitchens, as a mitzvah. That year, the synagogue also joined Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill and Congregation Adath Emanu-El in Mount Laurel as well as the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey to raise money to build "Shalom House" in Camden. Also in 2000, congregants planted a meditation and tzedakah garden from which food was to be donated to food banks and soup kitchens.
In 2022, M'kor Shalom and Temple Emanuel merged into one synagogue called Congregation Kol Ami, located at Temple Emanuel's building. The M'kor Shalom building is expected to become a Yeshiva for Jewish boys.
Leadership
Prior to closing, the clergy included Rabbi Jennifer Frenkel, Cantor Rhoda Harrison, Ph.D., and Cantor Anita F. Hochman. Marlene Dworkin served as the Congregation President and Michelle Bross was the Executive Director.
Rabbi Gary Mazo is a former rabbi of the synagogue, who began there as an assistant rabbi in 1990. Barry Schwartz was senior rabbi of the synagogue, before leaving to become the new CEO of the Jewish Publication Society in 2010. Rabbi Richard F. Address, D.Min. is the immediate former senior rabbi at M'kor Shalom.
Prayer book and programs
The prayer book used during services is Mishkan T'filah. M'kor Shalom offers a religious school program for grades pre-K through 12, a full-time Early Childhood Center for ages 2 through Kindergarten, as well as adult education programs.

Judy Leden, MBE (born 1959) is a British hang glider and paraglider pilot. She has held three world champion titles, twice in hang gliding, once in paragliding.
Biography
Judy Leden's flying career began while she was at university in Cardiff in 1979. She started competing in 1982 and broke many records in 1983. She currently holds world records for both hang gliding and paragliding. Leden turned professional in 1988, becoming the only woman to earn a living as a hang glider and paraglider pilot. Her work includes films, stunts, flying displays, teaching and writing. She is a friend and supporter of Flyability, the BHPA charity to help disabled people to fly hang gliders and paragliders.
As a display pilot, Leden has been asked to take part in a range of airshows. She was asked to fly at the Imperial War Museum display at Duxford as part of their 2011 Spring Air Show themed Celebrating Women in Aviation. Unfortunately the strong winds made conditions unsafe for flying hang gliders.
Leden has landed many sponsorship deals, including Citroën. Her competitive success includes winning the Women's World Hang Gliding Championships in 1987 and again in 1991. She has been British Women's Champion six times and in 1995 she won the Women's World Paragliding Championship. Involved at Airways Airsports from the start, Leden is the senior instructor proficient in every form of free flying.
Leden's father was one of the children saved by Sir Nicholas Winton prior to the outbreak of World War II. She took Winton flying in a microlight on a number of occasions including his 98th and 100th birthdays.
Achievements
In 1989 Leden became the first woman to fly over the English Channel by hang glider following a launch from a hot air balloon at 13,000 feet. The flight received substantial press attention and was featured in an episode of Spitting Image.
For the Channel 4 documentary Cotopaxi Dream she climbed and flew from the top of Cotapaxi, at 19,600 feet the world's tallest active volcano.
In early 1992 Leden took part in the Flight of the Dacron Eagles, a 1000-mile, three-week microlight and hang glider expedition down the rift valley in Kenya, filming for the BBC 1 Classic Adventure series with cameramen Sid Perou, microlight pilots Richard Meredith-Hardy and Ben Ashman and hang glider pilots Mark Dale, Tim Hudson and Louise Anderton.
Leden undertook the "Flight for Life" flight from London to Amman, Jordan, for a cancer research campaign with Ben Ashman, which was inspired by—and in memory of—hang glider pilot Yasmin Saudi, who died of cancer at the age of 24. The flight succeeded in raising over £100,000, and it was filmed en route and released as a video.
In 1996, Leden's autobiography Flying with Condors was published. This title was also used for a BBC 1 Natural World documentary in which Leden and her husband Chris Dawes travelled to Patagonia to fly with Andean condors using hang gliders, paragliders and paramotors.
Leden's wide experience with various aircraft, adventurous nature and low body weight has resulted in her being asked to test fly a number of unique aircraft. In 2003, she was asked to test fly a replica of a Leonardo da Vinci glider and in 2009 the makers of a replica of the first aircraft to fly in the UK recruited Leden in an attempt to get their replica Roe Triplane airborne.
Awards
Leden was awarded an MBE in 1989 for her services to hang gliding, and has received many other awards, including the Royal Aero Club Gold Medal for 1995, and Sportswoman of the Year from Cosmopolitan magazine and Middlesex county. She also received the Hussein Medal for Excellence in recognition of her flight to Jordan by microlight, and the Star of the First Order by King Hussein.

"Revolution Is My Name" is a song by American heavy metal band Pantera. It was the first single from the band's final album, Reinventing the Steel. It was also included on the band's compilation album Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits!.
Release and reception
"Revolution Is My Name" reached number 28 on the Billboards Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song was nominated for Best Metal Performance in the 2001 Grammys, but lost to Deftones' "Elite". However, it won a 2000 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for Song of the Year. The song's music video was voted as the 15th Greatest Metal Video of the 21st Century on Headbangers Ball in 2005.
Music video
The music video for the song was directed by Jim Van Bebber and produced by Grant Cihlar for 1171 Production Group. The video is a mix of various elements: between performances from the band and live footage. It also contains comical snippets of a sitcom-esque interpretation of the band's childhood, where the musicians are portrayed as small kids (with facial hair included) listening to Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top while jumping on the bed and playing oversized instruments. The video also includes flashes of the band's influences such as Black Sabbath and Kiss.

Between 1971 and 1978, Reddy had ten studio albums released by Capitol Records, the label also having issued her Greatest Hits album and a concert album: Live in London, the latter issued in December 1978 - which same month Reddy filed suit claiming Capitol Records had shortchanged her $1,793,000, the suit being an apparent bid to win release from the label. However Reddy, issued in June 1979, would be released by Capitol Records, Reddy's tenure with the label extending to include her twelfth studio album: Take What You Find, issued in 1980.Reddy was noted by Billboard magazine for what set it apart from its predecessors: "It's the three disco tracks on the first side of this album that will probably draw the most attention, but more interesting from the point of view of Reddy's artistic growth are covers of soul ballads by Gamble & Huff ('Sing My Heart Out') and Eugene Record ('Trying to Get to You') and rock material by the likes of The Doobie Brothers ('Minute by Minute')." That same review from the issue dated June 2 of that year also mentioned the exposure she received from The Helen Reddy Special, which had just aired on ABC on May 22, but, as with her previous two releases, Reddy did not reach Billboards Top LP's & Tapes chart. It was also her last album to chart in Canada's RPM magazine when it peaked at number 97 there in August of that year.
Singles
May 1979 saw the release of the track "Make Love to Me" as both a twelve-inch single featuring the entire seven-minute album cut and as a 3:48 7" single edit: the former was lauded in Billboard's "Disco Mix" column: "Reddy belts out this song with the right combination of orchestration and arrangements that have no need for a break as the tune never lets down in energy level through its 7:02-minute length." The 7" single debuted on the Hot 100 in the May 19 issue of Billboard to rise to a number 60 peak during a ten week tenure: debuting on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart dated June 9, "Make Love to Me" would there spend five weeks reaching number 41 showings. "Make Love toe Me" also provided Reddy with her only hit on Billboard'''s R&B with a seven week tenure from July 28, 1979 and a peak of number 59.
"Make Love to Me" also afforded Reddy her final Canadian hit parade appearance, peaking at number 57 on the RPM singles chart. In Australia the June 1979 release of the Reddy album was accompanied by the single release of the track "Minute by Minute" rather than "Make Love to Me", the original version of the latter by Scottish singer Kelly Marie being still then in the Top 40 of the national Australian hit parade after peaking at number 5 in March. However "Make Love to Me" would be issued as Reddy's second Australian single - and second Australian chart shortfall - in August 1979 (which month the Kelly Marie version ended its Australian chart tenure of 41 weeks).
In the US, "Let Me Be Your Woman" - a ballad first recorded by Linda Clifford - would be the second single from Reddy and would reach number 43 Adult Contemporary during a five-week run from November 10, 1979, becoming a Hot 100 shortfall.
Reception
Both Allmusic and Billboard suggested that this should have been Reddy's comeback album, the latter noting that her "album sales have tapered off in the past few years, but this LP proves that she is staying on top of trends rather than being content to stay in a cozy but confining MOR rut." And Allmusic's Charles Donovan writes retrospectively: "Her Top Ten days were over, but on the strength of this set, they shouldn't have been." Other critics were less enthused: Peter Reilly of Stereo Review dismissed Reddy as "a disco album that goes like clockwork - and is about as interesting. [Reddy's] sound and performances are Precise, Rigid and, above all, Accurate..'Make Love to Me' ([a potentially] engaging empty headed piece of fluff) is about as feverish and abandoned as John Travolta's agent closing a deal. 'Let Me Be Your Woman' has the properly improperly lustiness of disco passion in its lyrics, but Reddy's performance [implies the] unspoken condition: only if your finish your oatmeal first. The album is engineered so that her adenoinal, girdled voice always rises above it all. Would that the listener could do the same." Christine Hogan of the Sydney Morning Herald similarly branded Reddy "a vocal technician [who] presents material in much the same fashion and with about as much feeling as a computer. [While] she sings well [on 'Reddy] particularly on songs such as..'Minute by Minute' but on 'Make Love to Me' and 'Perfect Love Affair' a hard edge creeps into her voice. She might do better controlling herself a little less".

Based in San Jose, California, The Choral Project is a mixed-voice choir founded in 1996 by artistic director and conductor Daniel D. Hughes. The group's vision is "to heal our world through music and words," while their mission is "to connect to one another through choral theater, education and musical excellence."
The Choral Project's repertoire is broad and diverse, ranging from Bach, Debussy, and Brahms to modern composers like Kirke Mechem, Rene Clausen, Michael Ostrzyga, Stephen Jackson and Eric Whitacre. They have performed in Washington D.C.'s National Cathedral, San Francisco's Mission Dolores Basilica, Mission Santa Clara de Asís, Santa Cruz' Holy Cross Church, and multiple venues in England, Scotland, Wales, Costa Rica, and Mexico. During their 2001 tour, The Choral Project appeared live on Mexican National Radio. In 2004, the ensemble competed in the Mixed Choir division of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod in Wales, coming away with a second-place finish. In 2007, while competing against six choirs from around the world at the California International Choral Festival & Competition in San Luis Obispo, CA, the group placed in all three categories - 1st place in the Choir's Choice category, 2nd place in the Required Music category and 3rd in the Folk Music category.
Every season, The Choral Project uses one concert to focus on an important social issue. For example, in February 2017 the choir performed Street Requiem with mezzo soprano Frederica von Stade to highlight the issue of homelessness. The Santa Cruz Sentinel wrote, "The piece, said the 53-voice Choral Project’s artistic director Daniel Hughes, addresses issues of what it’s like to live on the streets and assumes the voice of the homeless in confronting the audience, 'Why do you ignore me when you leave the concert hall?'”
To date, The Choral Project has released eight albums: The Cycle of Life, Of Christmastide, Americana, Water & Light (the group’s #1 best seller on the Clarion label), Winter, One is the All, Tell the World, and most recently Yuletide, a festive collection of holiday favorites.
The Choral Project also performs on the San José Chamber Orchestra recording of the dramatic oratorio Choose Life, Uvacharta Bachayim, by composer Mona Lyn Reese and librettist Delores Dufner, OSB.
The Choral Project is also a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization involved in community outreach, including a choral mentorship program for local high school students, joint performances with visiting choirs and an annual Choral Composition Contest for high school students and undergraduates.

Gan Ji (died 200), rendered also as Yu Ji, was a Taoist priest who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. As a Taoist clergy, Gan Ji helped to cure the diseases of many people and saving lives. He was widely respected in Wu County and Kuaiji, this caused Sun Ce to be jealous of his fame and reputation among the people. He was eventually executed by Sun Ce under the pretext of confusing the people's heart.
Life
Gan Ji was from Langya Commandery (琅琊郡, present-day southeastern Shandong). He first lived in the East before travelling to Wu County and Kuaiji. When he lived there, he helped with the harvest, burned incense, read Taoist books and made talismans to treat diseases of the common people. Among the populace of Wu and Kuaiji, many were his disciples. Once, Sun Ce gathered his officers and officials at the top of the prefecture's tower while Gan Ji walked below the tower in a splendid attire and carrying a small case in his hand. Around two-thirds of Sun Ce's retainers left the meeting to pay their respect to Gan Ji; those in charge of the meeting couldn't stop them. Because of this incident, Sun Ce was furious and arrested Gan Ji.
Those that served under Gan Ji sent their wives to plead with Sun Ce's mother to have him saved. Lady Wu (wife of Sun Jian) told Sun Ce "Master Yu assists the army and provide good fortune, heal and save the officers and soldiers; do not kill him." However Sun Ce answered "This man is a sorcerer who can deceive and confuse the many, because of him the officers stopped caring for the rules between a sovereign and his ministers. Going as far as to ignore me to pay their respect to him. He must be killed."
When Sun Ce's officers heard of this, they sent letters to explain the situation and pleaded to save his life. Sun Ce told them "During ancient times, Zhang Jin was the governor of Jiao's Province yet he abandoned the common teaching, abolished the ancestral customs and laws so he could promote the Dao's evil precepts proclaiming it was to help others yet in the end he was killed by the southerners. This is the just result of his actions, all of you do not understand this. Now Yu Ji is already a dead man, don't waste paper and brush for this."
Finally, Sun Ce beheaded Gan Ji and had his head hung in the market. However, those who served under Gan Ji wouldn't believe that he was dead, only that his soul left his body and would continue to offer sacrifices and promote fortune.
According to the Book of Later Han, during the reign of Emperor Shun of Han ( 125–144), Gong Chong (宮崇), one of Gan Ji's disciples, submitted the Taiping Qingling Shu (太平清領書) to the emperor; although there is no certitude that this is the same Gan Ji.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Some believe that the character Yu Ji (于吉) in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a misspelling of Gan Ji. In the novel, Yu Ji wandered around the Jiangdong region, chatting with soldiers and civilians, making everyone believe that he was a magician and healer. The warlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, heard of Yu Ji's magic and grew suspicious of him, thinking that he was casting spells on people. Sun Ce accused Yu Ji of sorcery and had him executed after Yu Ji stated that he cured people of diseases for free. However, Yu Ji's spirit returned to haunt Sun Ce and eventually caused him to die from shock.
In popular culture
In the video games Dynasty Warriors 5 and 7, there is a stage based on Sun Ce's confrontation with Yu Ji, a fictional event. In the stage Sun Ce has to fight Yu Ji clones, as well as a Da Qiao and Sun Jian clone.
The 1983 Hong Kong film The Weird Man by the Shaw Brothers Studio is loosely based on the story of Yu Ji and Sun Ce. Yu Ji was put to death by Sun Ce and he later comes back as a ghost and wreaks havoc on Sun Ce for revenge by possessing his army and his wife. He also helped Sun Ce kill Xu Gong while killing Sun Ce in the process. In this film, he is seen as the hero while Sun Ce is portrayed as the anti-hero. The Weird Man was remade in 1993 as Ninja in Ancient China which also combined some concepts from another Shaw Brothers movie the Five Elements Ninjas.
A fictionalized version of Yu Ji appears as the central antagonist in the 2023 video game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

Endrim is a heritage-listed former residence and clergy house and now offices at 54 Sorrell Street, Parramatta, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by James Houison and built from 1854 to 1856 by James Houison and Nathaniel Payton. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
History
The site on which Endrim would be built is in Section 40 of the Town of Parramatta, which had been subdivided into regular allotments by this time and was formally proclaimed in 1893. Most of the block, an area of over two areas was officially granted to Reverend William F. Gore in November 1853. Gore had arrived in the colony in 1841 with his widowed mother and two elder brothers who became pastoralists in Queensland. William followed in the footsteps of his father who was a Protestant Irish clergyman. William completed his studies in Sydney and was ordained as an Anglican clergyman in 1844. He married in the same year and was appointed rector of All Saints Church, Parramatta, in 1849. He and his family rented a two-storey brick house which was near the Female Factory. He started planning his new house in 1852.
The foundation stone in Sorrell Street was laid in November 1854. The first storey was completed in June 1855 and his family moved into "Endrim" in APril 1856.
The house was built by local builder, James Houison, a Scottish carpenter who had arrived in Sydney in 1832 and soon earned a reputation as a skilled craftsman, in partnership with Nathaniel Payten. The partnership worked on the Parramatta Gaol and the Court House in the 1830s, then turned to churches in the 1840s and also completed a number of domestic projects including Endrim in this period.
Gore, who is attributed with planting a number of trees on the property, remained at All Saints until 1862, when he returned to England. He resigned his incumbency in 1867. The house was used as a rectory until ( 1876) a new building was built (closer to the church, to the south) in 1876 and Endrim continued to be rented out as a residence until 1882 when it was conveyed to J. E. Bowden, a solicitor of Parramatta. The Bowden family was known in Parramatta and had long occupied the area.
A 1900 Photograph of Endrim's southern (side) facade shows the gravel drive sweeping by to the eastern (front) facade and front door, a large area of lawn, and a large "century plant" (Agave americana) in front of the house's southern facade, trees and shrubs. A bed of flowers and smaller shrubs is in the foreground. Taller trees and shrubs form a backdrop.
A Sydney Water Board plan dated 1894 and revised in 1912 shows the stone building, attached wings and detached stable building to its north. The building is located close to the Sorrell Street frontage and approximately mid-block. The wings extend toward Sorrell Street and to the north of the main building with a stair extending from the eastern facade, facing the large site. In 1902 the land was conveyed to Eric Bowden, second son of Ebenezer John Bowden and also a solicitor and politician. He was a federal MP for Nepean and later Parramatta in the 1920s.
Early plans and a photograph 1900 indicate that changes and additions were undertaken to the house between 1900 and 1912.
The Sands Directory indicates that the house continued to be occupied by various family members until its final listing in the 1930s.
E. K. (Eric) Bowden lost his seat in 1929 and his last years were shadowed by financial difficulties. The land was subdivided and an auction selling the residential sized allotments was held on site on 2 December 1927. He died in February 1931. Lot 6 of the subdivision had been transferred to his wife and daughters in 1928 and after his death the mortgagees continued to sell the various allotments.
Endrim was surrounded by gardens and a driveway also swept around the building. The house continued to occupy a large site, and area of over 1 acre made up of Lots 3-5 and part of Lot 2 of the subdivision. In 1934 this was bought by Millicent Lydia Bryant, wife of Harold Leslie Bryant, medical practitioner of Parramatta. The property was again transferred to Dale Building P/L in 1963 and in the same year to Horwood Investments P/L of Canberra. H. V. Horwood had been Mayor of Parramatta in 1954-5.
A Sydney Water Board plan dating from the 1930s shows the large site and house and that a number of detached houses, including a house on the corner allotment, Lot 1 (now 56 Sorrell Street) had been built on the subdivided allotments by this time.
In 1963 it would appear that the new owners of the site subdivided it again, creating a kinked line between lots 1 and 2, which were occupied by the stable and house respectively (now fronting Sorrell Street), and lots 3-5 which each had frontage to Harold Street.
The 1963 plan shows that a stone wall connected Endrim's main building and former stables to its north. The earlier plans also show that some change had been undertaken to the rear wings of the main building and a small wing had also been constructed to the northern facade.
In 1984, the property was sold to another solicitor, David Lewarne. Lewarne renovated the house and converted the ground floor as offices for his firm, Lewarne and Goldsmith. A kitchen was also provided on the upper level with permission from the Heritage Council of NSW, and converted for use as his residence. It would appear that the works from this period also included upgrade of the conservatories and overall building fabric and stonework, also addition of the boundary fence, plantings and garden elements including the brick steps and pathways around the eastern garden area.
In May 1985 a permanent conservation order was gazetted over Endrim, covering Lots 1-4.
The site today shows further alterations and additions have been undertaken. A later, high timber fence on brick base surrounds the site, with stone gate posts near the south-western corner of the site. The sweeping driveway and garden including a number of mature trees and plantings also generally remain with some later brick paths and landscape elements.
Some alterations and additions to the house and stables have occurred. The front facade has a stone porch over the entry which is not present in the 1900 photograph, and additions to the northern and southern sides of the main house. However the buildings retain a strong sense of their earlier character and face stone facades and details.
Lewarne died in 2010, and his firm vacated the building in 2012, following which it was sold. In 2014, the local council approved a duplex development on Lot 5 of the property, facing Harold Street, despite opposition from local residents on heritage grounds.
Description
Garden and grounds
Endrim is located on the north-eastern corner of Sorrell and Harold Streets.
Its house is situated well back from Sorell Street in a mature garden and screened by a high timber paling fence on a brick base. The rear of the house faces Sorrell Street, the front of the house faces into the site. Several steps extend up to the entry, which is symmetrically flanked by two Mediterranean cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens).
Two stone gate posts are located near the south-western corner of the site and timber gates open onto a pebbled driveway which curves from the corner and sweeps around to the front of the house.
The driveway extends past the house to the former stables/garage and carport, located close to the northern site boundary.
A sandstone block wall with an arched opening extends from the north-western section of the house connecting to the former stables building to its north. A detached carport has been constructed to the east of the former stables building. Both of these are located close to the northern site boundary and neighbouring house, 56 Sorrell Street.
The driveway is bounded by open lawn and garden beds and a number of large trees, including two very tall hoop pines (Araucaria cunninghamii) and large camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), gums, palm and other plantings. The garden also features a number of garden and landscape elements of various ages. Brick steps and piers directly in front of the house connect to overgrown rock and brick-paved pathways which extend over part of the eastern section of the site.
House
Endrim is a well constructed symmetrical 3 bay house of two storeys with a Tuscan porch to the main door and a cantilevered balcony at first floor level on the garden elevation. A glassed-in conservatory is located beneath. Some stone ground floor extensions have been added to the north side. The house is well detailed with good plaster work, four panelled doors and a geometric staircase. It is the finest example of the many Victorian suburban villas which once surrounded the town of Parramatta. It still evokes the quality of the Victorian age.
One and two storey wings extend from the north-west corner of the building.
Heritage listing
The house is an example of the work of notable architect and builder, James Houison. It forms evidence of the major regional role of institutions in history of Parramatta. It is the finest example of the many Victorian suburban villas which once surrounded the town of Parramatta. The house is historically significant and is representative.
Endrim was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

The Jamaican wood rail, also called the Jamaican uniform rail was the nominate subspecies of the uniform crake found on Jamaica. It became extinct around 1881.
Appearance
The Jamaican wood rail was a reddish-brown bird some 10 inches in length.
Ecology
Although capable of flight, the wood rail was primarily a terrestrial bird, preferring to run to escape predators. It was originally widespread on the island, inhabiting swamps, jungle undergrowth and streambeds, to fairly high altitudes.
Extinction
Already rare and threatened by rats and cats, the Jamaican wood rail was ultimately driven to extinction shortly after the introduction of small Indian mongooses to Jamaica in 1872. The last specimens of the bird were collected in 1881.

Doha International Air Base (Doha IAB) is an airbase of the Qatar Emiri Air Force located at the Doha International Airport, Doha, Qatar which operated officially from 1991 to 1993 and from 1996 to 2004.
The base was also used by the United States Armed Forces as Camp Snoopy.
History
Soon after the Persian Gulf War in 1991, the United States and Qatar secretly signed a defense cooperation agreement that provided the US Military with ability to set up operations here. Camp Snoopy was one of the bases which would come out of this agreement. The base was closed down as forces withdrew from the Middle East following the Persian Gulf War but was re-opened in 1996.
The year 2000 saw its rapid expansion by the Pennsylvania and Ohio Air National Guard and US Navy Seebees. The development included the addition of constructed 15 force-protection projects, high-security entrance points, kennels, and aircraft maintenance facilities, each made more difficult by the concrete-like bedrock which makes up the deserts of Qatar. The work plan had engineers pouring of concrete, moving of desert rock, which took more effort to move compared to the sand that makes up most of the deserts in the region, and erecting 50,000 pounds of steel. The work also included building 32 Scud bunkers, placing five towers, building of blast wall, constructing a mile of road and digging a mile of trenching. Heat was the common theme throughout the deployment. Doors had to remain closed or temperatures could rise high enough inside to trigger fire-suppression sprinklers; pools had to be chilled before entering. As temperatures soared through the 100s each day, guardsmen devised ways to work through the desert menace. These included 4 a.m. start times and air-conditioned shelters at each job site. In late 2002 a second wave of engineering projects expanded the base further adding some basic comforts to the previously barren camp such as a small swimming pool, trailers replacing tents for the dining facility and the addition of a larger post office to handle the influx of mail that came with the increased number of troops. Prior to the late 2002 build up troops stationed at Camp Snoopy were bused an hour each way to Al Udeid Air Base for basic recreation and exchange use.
In May 2002, Qatar Airways announced the new expansion and renovation plans for the Doha International airport which included reclaiming the real estate on which Camp Snoopy was located. This coupled with the expansion of Al Udeid and the establishment of U.S. bases in Iraq ended the need for Camp Snoopy and it was closed in 2004. One account states that the base was named Snoopy due to the large amount of snooping that was done along the base's perimeter by curious locals from nearby Doha, while another claims it was due to the large number of feral dogs that roamed the base when it was initially established.
Mission
Camp Snoopy in Doha, Qatar was at its height the largest pre-positioning base outside the United States. A considerable amount of these equipment had been moved from Qatar to Kuwait during the last months before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Camp Snoopy had stockpiled enough equipment to accommodate a brigade set with two armored and one mechanized battalion, as well as equipment for combat service support units. The troops to use it could be airlifted and ready for action in 96 hours. Unlike Kuwait, advance parties will fly to Qatar, draw the equipment and use commercial heavy equipment transporters to move it to the port to be loaded onto ships for transport to the combat zone. It also served as home for the U.S. Air Force's 64th Air Expeditionary Group, which was enlarged to become the 64th Air Expeditionary Wing prior to the invasion of Iraq. The 64th primarily operated the then brand new C-17 Globemaster III. Snoopy served as the final departure point for personnel and equipment headed for Afghanistan.
In late 2002, due to its location - near enough to Iraq to make for quick turn around but far enough away to not be an easy target - Camp Snoopy was selected to host an Air Force Special Operations Command detachment from operating the Lockheed MC-130 Combat Talon. The addition of the MC-130's and their supporting crews along with a general increase in total manpower led to the redesignation of the 64th from a Group to a Wing in December 2002. Due to limited ramp space the airlift mission was largely shifted to nearby Al Udeid by January 2003 with the main focus becoming the operation of the Special Operations force located there. This would continue until the base was closed in 2004. The base also served as the central mail distribution point for bases in Afghanistan with all mail being delivered to the base, sorted, then placed on aircraft for delivery to individual bases in Afghanistan. During December 2002 this postal hub processed an average of 3,000 pounds of mail a day and operated 24 hours a day. During its operation Doha International Air Base's mailing address was APO AE 09310.

Allan Bérubé (pronounced BEH-ruh-bay; December 3, 1946 – December 11, 2007) was a gay American historian, activist, independent scholar, self-described "community-based" researcher and college drop-out, and award-winning author, best known for his research and writing about homosexual members of the American Armed Forces during World War II. He also wrote essays about the intersection of class and race in gay culture, and about growing up in a poor, working-class family, his French-Canadian roots, and about his experience of anti-AIDS activism.
Bérubé's principal work of history was the 1990 book Coming Out Under Fire, which examined the lives of gay men and women in the U.S. military between 1941 and 1945. It won the Lambda Literary Award for outstanding Gay Men's Nonfiction Book of 1990 and was adapted as a documentary film of the same name in 1994 with a screenplay that Bérubé co-wrote. The film received a Peabody Award for excellence in documentary media in 1995.
Bérubé received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1996. He received a Rockefeller grant from the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in 1994. For about twenty years beginning in 1979, Bérubé was interviewed about his work in publications including Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Advocate, Christopher Street, Gay Community News, and the San Francisco Examiner. His many radio and television appearances included interviews by Studs Terkel, Sonia Freedman on CNN, and two by Terry Gross on National Public Radio's Fresh Air.
Biography
Allan Ronald Bérubé was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on December 3, 1946, the eldest of four children born to a rural, working-class, French Canadian family. For a time in his childhood his family lived in trailer parks in Connecticut and New Jersey, while his father worked as a poorly paid cameraman for NBC. While he was a teenager, the family returned to his grandparents' farming community in Massachusetts. For his last year of high school he attended the Mount Hermon School for Boys in Mount Hermon, Massachusetts, on scholarship, graduating in 1964. After registering for the draft as required at age 18, he sought and received conscientious objector status.
He was an English literature major at the University of Chicago from 1964 to 1968, but did not earn a degree, dropping out in what he later described as a panic based on the political turmoil of 1968, confronting his sexuality, anxiety about paying for his education, and guilt about breaking with his working-class background. He moved to Boston and there he became involved in politics for the first time, working with the American Friends Service Committee in opposition to the Vietnam War. He came out as gay in 1969.
He moved to San Francisco in 1974 and continued to support himself with odd jobs, working for a time as a ticket-taker at the Castro Theatre. By 1979 he had launched what become his lifelong lecture and slideshow tour, presenting his latest research to audiences of lesbians and gay men, beginning with "Lesbian Masquerade" about women who dressed as men. When closing the city's bathhouses became a political controversy early in the AIDS epidemic, he published "a still-definitive essay on the history and social function of gay baths".
He was a co-founder of the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay History Project in 1978 and of the GLBT Historical Society there in 1985.
He worked as a consultant on the documentary film The Times of Harvey Milk.
He served from 1983 to 1986 as a member of the Lesbian and Gay Advisory Committee (now the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Advisory Committee) of San Francisco.
In the late 1980s, Bérubé belonged to the Forget-Me-Nots, an affinity group that performed civil disobedience at the United States Supreme Court during the 1987 Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.
In 1990, he published Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War II, which examined the stories of gay men and women in the U.S. military between 1941 and 1945. The book used interviews with gay veterans, government documents, and other sources to discuss the social and political issues that faced over 9,000 servicemen and women during World War II. The work had its origins in a chance discovery. In the 1970s, a friend of one of Bérubé’s neighbors discovered a batch of letters that a dozen gay military personnel had exchanged during World War II after meeting at a military base in Missouri. Bérubé turned them into the basis of years of research and a prize-winning book, after presenting his work in progress "Marching to a Different Drummer" at more than a hundred venues. Coming Out Under Fire won the Lambda Literary Award for outstanding Gay Men's Nonfiction book of 1990 Professional historians praised its research and the quality of Bérubé's prose. Martin Duberman called it:
Bérubé in later years liked to recall that Doris Kearns Goodwin called the book "remarkably evenhanded", as if it were surprising he could be committed to both scholarship and political activism.
It was adapted as a film in 1994, narrated by Salome Jens and Max Cole, with a screenplay by Bérubé and the film's director, Arthur Dong. The film received a Peabody Award for excellence in documentary media in 1995.
Because he was gay, he was not allowed to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee when it held hearings on the exclusion of homosexuals from the U.S. military in 1993. He provided Senator Edward Kennedy with questions to pose at those hearings and submitted as written testimony a paper titled "Historical Overview of the Origins of the Military's Ban on Homosexuals".
In the documentary film Over Our Dead Bodies (1991) by video artist Stuart Marshall, he is interviewed along with Michael Callen and others on the development of AIDS activism. He held several teaching positions in the 1990s. He taught at Stanford University in Fall 1991, the University of California at Santa Cruz in Winter 1991 and Spring 1992, Portland State University (Oregon) in Summer Session 1994, and the New School for Social Research in Fall 1996.
Bérubé received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1996. He received a Rockefeller grant from the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in 1994 to research a book on the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union, which was left unfinished when he died. As part of his research, he created No Red-Baiting! No Race-Baiting! No Queen-Baiting!, a 90-minute illustrated talk on the left-wing, multi-racial, and gay-friendly union.
In the 1990s he also shared his expertise on gay life with the creators of several documentaries, including: The Question of Equality (1994), a documentary television series of four one-hour films funded by Independent Television Service; Out At Work (1996), a documentary film by Tami Gold; Licensed to Kill (1995), a documentary film by Arthur Dong; and The Castro (1997), a documentary film produced by KQED San Francisco.
Bérubé curated the U.S. section of "Goodbye to Berlin? Hundert Jahre Schwulenbewegung", an exhibition on the history of the gay rights movement presented at the Berlin Academy of the Arts in 1997.
He moved briefly to New York City and then settled in Liberty, New York. There he bought property he hoped to use for green development. He was manager and program director of the Liberty Theatre in 2002-2003. He bought, renovated, operated Carrier House Bed and Breakfast from 2002 to 2007. He served as coordinator of Community & Economic Development and founding member of Liberty Economic Action Project (LEAP) in 2004-05. With Maurice Gerry, he bought the Shelburne Playhouse/Theatre in Ferndale, New York, and between 2002 and 2007 he coordinated its restoration, won it listings on the New York State and National Historic Places registers, and had the facade restored by a team of Cornell University historic preservation volunteers. With his life partner John Nelson, operated Intelligent Design Antiques, which sold mid-century modern designs in Liberty.
Bérubé was elected trustee of the Village of Liberty, New York, in 2003 and re-elected in 2005. He also played a major role in saving the historic Munson Diner, which was moved to Liberty from Manhattan in 2005.
Bérubé died on December 11, 2007, from complications of stomach ulcers in Catskill Regional Medical Center after being hospitalized for a day.
He was a member of the National Writers Union.
Papers and archives
Bérubé donated the research materials related to what he called the "World War II Project" to the GLBT Historical Society in 1995 and 2000. The executors of his estate donated his surviving papers to the same archive, which holds other collections that include correspondence from Bérubé and materials that document his work, as do the papers of Jonathan Ned Katz held by the New York Public Library.

Q150 was the sesquicentenary (150th anniversary) of the Separation of Queensland from New South Wales in 1859. Separation established the Colony of Queensland which became the State of Queensland in 1901 as part of the Federation of Australia. Q150 was celebrated in 2009.
Celebrations
The Queensland government and other Queensland organisations celebrated the occasion with many events and publications, including:
announcement of the 150 icons of Queensland by the Queensland Premier Anna Bligh
placement of a time capsule in the grounds of Old Government House
the creation of monuments at significant survey points in Queensland's history by the Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute to honour the many early explorer/surveyors who mapped the state
the State Library of Queensland collected stories from notable Queenslanders, as part of the Storylines - Q150 digital stories project.
Many local communities celebrated Q150 in various ways. In Coominya, the local heritage society commissioned a series of murals depicting early life at the town.

The 2019 Cupa României Final was the 16th Romanian football women's cup final, the final match of the 2018–19 Cupa României. It was played at Stadionul Trans-Sil in Târgu Mureș, on 31 May 2019, contested by Fortuna Becicherecu Mic and Vasas Femina Odorheiu Secuiesc. Vasas Femina won the match 5–0, with a hat-trick from Carolina Țabur and one goal from each Rita Mitri and Krisztina Benő in only the fourth time a team has scored five goals or won by at least a five-goal margin in a cup final. The win brought Vasas its first major trophy, making it only the 7th club to win the Romanian Women's Cup.
Route to the final
Both teams had a similar road to the finals, a clear 8–0 win in the quarterfinals, and a surprising win in the semifinals against opponents they severely lost to in league matches, at just a few days distance.
Fortuna Bechicherecu Mic
The first two matches for Fortuna Becicherecu Mic in the competition were plagued by the inability of the opponents to field enough players on matchday. Scheduled mid-week on 31 October and 21 November, the second and third rounds against Banat Girls Reșița and Juventus Timișoara respectively, were both stopped early in the game at 2–0 for Fortuna, and subsequently awarded 3–0.
The first full match played by Fortuna in the 2018–19 edition of the cup was the quarter-final played at home on 24 March against Heniu Prundu Bârgăului and it finished at a clear and unprecedented 8–0 for Fortuna, although Fortuna were to lose against Heniu 0–1 in the Liga I match played at less than a month distance, on 20 April.
Fortuna met rivals U Olimpia Cluj in the semifinals. The match was played at home on 15 May and was won 2–0, due to the goals scored by Larisa Grigore. With this win, Fortuna became the only Romanian team to ever beat Olimpia twice in the same season, with the first time being on 10 March, in an away Liga I match. Still, Fortuna was to lose against Olimpia 0–7 just 4 days after the cup semifinal, in an away Liga I play-off match.
Vasas Femina Odorheiu Secuiesc
Vasas Femina did not play any of its cup matches at home in this edition.
Its first game was in the 2nd round on 28 October, where it met Csiksereda Miercurea Ciuc which it defeated with a clear 9–0. The third round match was played on 18 November against Navobi Iași and won 4–0, with a hat-trick from Rita Mitri and another goal by Carolina Țabur.
In the quarterfinals, it trashed Fair Play București 8–0 on 27 March, while in the semifinals, Vasas traveled to Galați to play against Universitatea on 15 May and won the game by 4–1, even though they just lost a Liga I match 0–4 against the same team and on the same pitch a week before, on 8 May.
Pre-game
Neither team had won a major trophy before. Vasas previously reached only the semifinals of the Cup in the previous season, while Fortuna's best result was reaching the last 16 in the 2016–17 season. In the league, Vasas were the standing vice-champions, while Fortuna finished the previous Liga I on the eight place, just above the relegation line.
In the Liga I regular season, Fortuna played Vasas earlier in May, at Odorheiu Secuiesc, with Vasas winning 4–1. However, after the end of the regular league season, Fortuna qualified for the Championship play-offs (places 1–3), while Vasas only qualified for the Lower table round (places 4–6).
Both teams organized buses for the fans to attend the final in Târgu Mureș. Just before the kickoff, a ceremony was held, and the local municipal team CSM Târgu Mureș was awarded with the trophy for winning Liga III, Seria III.
Match
Team selection
Fortuna had a selection of footballers who spent most of their careers in the western part of Romania, notably at CFR Timișoara, who folded in early autumn, meaning that Fortuna had received at the start of the season an influx of new young players who played well with the already existing squad. A notable additional presence was former Romania national team member and top youth national team goalscorer Alexandra Lunca, who joined the team this season. An important absence for Fortuna was goalkeeper Mihaela Durlă, who defended Fortuna's goal for the first part of the season. Youth national team player Bianca Ienovan was uncertain for the match due to a recent injury, but eventually she was benched for the final. Other available players on matchday, that could have been included were Rebeca Pavel (#17) who had been announced for the final, Andrada Rusu (#22) and Cristina Costa (#8), the latter having had injury problems this season.
Vasas had a core of 4 players from the Moldova women's national football team (Violeta Mițul, Nadejda Colesnicenco, Margarita Panova and Carolina Țabur), Romania national youth team star Ana Maria Vlădulescu, in addition to a large base of local homegrown players of Hungarian ethnicity, a lot of which have been previously selected for Romania's youth national squads. Coach Andrași did not field Mădălina Marinescu, who was previously announced for the final.
Details
Post-match
Vasas won its first major trophy after 7 years of existence, becoming the 7th team to win the Cupa României. However, the team finished the League in 6th place. On the other hand, after this severe defeat, Fortuna went on to also become league vice-champions.

Sutton-in-Ashfield Central railway station is a former railway station that served the town of Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England.
History
The station was opened by the Mansfield Railway along with Mansfield Central and Kirkby-in-Ashfield Central stations in 1917. The line, and its stations, was worked by the Great Central Railway and became part of the LNER in 1923 and subsequently British Railways in 1948.
The station was conventional and spacious.
Most passenger trains plied between Nottingham Victoria and Mansfield Central, with some extending to Edwinstowe and Ollerton.
Goods and timetabled passenger services ceased on 3 January 1956, though Summer weekend excursion traffic to Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Skegness and Mablethorpe continued until 1962.
The line through the station was closed on 7 January 1968 and subsequently lifted.

The Art and Design Admissions Registry (ADAR) was a British administrative body concerned with admissions to higher education courses in art and design outside universities. It was founded in 1966 and functioned for thirty years before being absorbed into the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) in 1996. ADAR was based in the city of Hereford.
Following the introduction of Art Foundation courses from 1963 onwards, interest among potential students increased in the range of higher education courses available nationally. Like the Central Register and Clearing House the ADAR scheme operated on a sequential rather than simultaneous basis, so that once a particular applicant had been accepted by their first choice their form did not circulate to further institutions.
In 1996, the scheme had 15,200 applications which led to 9,082 acceptances, compared to 6,900 acceptances in 1991.
Most major branches of British higher education merged their admissions systems in the new UCAS scheme in 1992, but Art and Design admissions presented particular problems since they worked to a later timetable as a result of the important role Art Foundation courses had in developing as fully as possible a student's proposed specialism (painting, sculpture, graphic design and so on). Work was furthermore generally submitted before a decision was made on whether to interview. A means of absorbing ADAR was found by 1996 although fears were expressed that students might be tempted to try to bypass the Foundation course preparatory route.
The merger with UCAS allowed that for a period there would be two routes of admission, one generally conforming to the UCAS timetable, and one running later to allow for the special circumstances of many Foundation applicants. A study in 2002 aimed to test whether the merged scheme had been as beneficial as its proponents had claimed,

Axel Gunnar Valter Axelsson (born 30 May 1924) was a Swedish geomorphologist and educator who made significant contributions to the understanding of the delta sedimentology and dynamics. One of his principal study sites was the Laitaure delta in Sarek National Park. In his thesis work on Laitaure delta and Rapaälven Axelsson drew on a hydrological data collection started by Axel Hamberg.

Holy Trinity Church, Theale is a Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Oxford. It was completed in 1832 in the Early English style, influenced by Salisbury Cathedral. The church is a Grade I listed building.
History
In 1799, Rev Thomas Sheppard, rector of Tilehurst built a new chapel of ease, at that time Theale was still part of the parish of Tilehurst. The chapel was built of brick, had a bellcote, and was situated to the south-west of the present church. Rev Sheppard died in 1814, having wished for a new parish church to be built to replace his earlier building. The benefactor enabling this was his widow, Sophia, who donated £39,000 for the building of a church, rectory and premises for the school, though other sources state that the donation was closer to £50,000. Sophia was supported in the founding of the church by her brother, the famous Oxford classical scholar Martin Routh, rector of Tilehurst from 1832 to 1854. As a result, the advowson of the new church was granted to Magdalen College, Oxford where Routh was master.
The church was designed in the Early English style by Edward Garbett, a local architect also responsible for the Holy Trinity Church in Reading. It was consecrated on 21 August 1832 by the Bishop of Salisbury, having taken about 15 years to build. The dedication is to the Holy Trinity. Routh appointed Edward Ellerton as curate of the new church, so the new parish was only formally instituted in 1855, immediately after Routh had died. The chancel apse was added in 1892 by John Oldrid Scott. The church interior was then decorated with murals by George Frederick Bodley. Much of this decoration was destroyed in the restorations of 1946 and 1965.
Architectural analyses
The church, especially as regards the western façade and the buttresses, bears resemblance to Salisbury Cathedral. Nikolaus Pevsner wrote that the church was modelled on the cathedral. In 1833 John Claudius Loudon described the body of the church as "satisfactory", and wrote that "the tower, and all the turrets, and terminations to the buttresses, are too short". The church has been compared to the now-demolished church of St George in Newtown, Birmingham, owing to the designers' use of existing architecture, rather than "forcing their own inventions". The bell tower is not part of the church edifice but is positioned to the south-east of the nave, with suggestions that its building was an afterthought. However, John Buckler built the tower between 1827 and 1828, with suggestions that he modelled the building on Salisbury's bell tower – demolished about 30 years previously – though little artistic and architectural evidence supports this.
Description
Exterior
The church consists of a tall and narrow nave, without aisles, of six bays, a five-sided apsidal chancel with an octagonal sacristy to the north, to the west, a porch and a detached bell tower to the south-east. The nave bays are separated by prominent buttresses, with false pinnacles incorporated into their structures. The first four bays each have a pair of tall lancet windows in each side wall, but the last two bays have singletons. The façade is flanked by a pair of thin towers crowned with spirelets, and with blind arcades at their tops. The spirelets are echoed by a pair of tall pinnacles on the far corners of the nave. The frontage in between the towers is divided into three by a further pair of buttresses, the central zone having a triple lancet window and the two side zones, singletons. Above, a large rose window lights the void in between the vault and the roof. The porch is lofty, with a pair of pinnacles and a trefoil window above the pointed arched portal.
The chancel apse is lower than the nave, and has a single lancet window in each of its five sides. The octagonal sacristy is very unusual, and imitates medieval octagonal chapter houses such as at Westminster Abbey. The tower is in three stages, the first incorporating an archway for a footpath. The belfry is lighted by triple lancet windows. Crowning it is a moulded parapet, with pinnacles at the angles - one is much larger than the other three. The tower is connected with the south wall of the chancel by a narrow range of the same height as the nave, lighted on the east and west sides respectively by two lancet windows. This has been called the "library". The fabric is in Bath stone, brought in by the Kennet and Avon Canal.
Interior
The nave ceiling consists of a plaster rib vault in six bays, springing from engaged stone vaulting shafts rising from the floor. Geometric coloured stencilling from the mostly destroyed 1892 Bodley scheme of mural decoration has been restored on the vault. At the west end is a gallery supported by two rows of stone columns, with moulded capitals and bases, the eastern or front row having clustered shafts, from which spring pointed arches. The soffit of the gallery is groined in plaster. The nave floor is in Minton tiles. Tall lancet windows light the interior, paired in the first four bays and single in the last two. The semi-octagonal apse has a massive triumphal arch. It has lancet windows above a trefoiled blind arcade, and a vault with radial ribs. The near side walls have murals of angels, remnants of the Bodley decorative scheme. The brass eagle lectern was a gift of the local Blatch family of brewers.
Waynflete Chantry
In the far left side of the nave is the chantry of William Waynflete, the founder of Magdalen College, removed from the chapel of that college in 1830 and appropriated as the memorial of Mrs. Sophia Sheppard, at whose expense the church was erected. The chantry is a long, narrow structure, roofed by a four-centred barrel vault with molded ribs. In the south side are two windows, the eastern of five and the western of two cinquefoiled lights with tracery within square heads. The doorway has molded jambs and a straight-sided four-centred arch within a square head with traceried spandrels. On the west side is a traceried panel similar to the windows. Above this is a shield of Wayneflete's arms. The doorway to the vestry and a doorway built into the interior face of the north-west wall of the nave appear to be of similar date, and were probably brought here from Magdalen College chapel at the same time. The late 19th-century epigraph, in Gothic script, reads in Latin:
In hoc sacello, juxta summam altare Collegii Beatae Mariae Magdalenae apud Oxoniensis a Fondatore olim constructo et in hanc Sanctissimae Trinitatis ecclesiam ex dono Praesentis et Sociorum ejusdem Collegii AD MDCCCXXX tralato, depositum est cenotaphium Sophiae Sheppard hujus ecclesiae Fundatricis AD MDCCCXCII.
In this shrine, erected by the Founder next to the high altar of the College of Blessed Mary Magdalen at Oxford and moved to this church of the Holy Trinity by the gift of the Present and Fellows of the same College in 1830, the cenotaph of Sophia Sheppard, the founder of this church, was placed 1892.
Sophia's cenotaph is a chest tomb with a medieval-style brass inset in the top.
Organ
The church's original organ had a single manual and was built by R. W. Rouse of Somerton. It was restored in 1933 by G. H. Foskett of London, with funds donated by the Blatch family. The restoration saw the organ moved from its original position in the church's west end to the nave, with preservation of the pipes. A second restoration was undertaken by Richard Bower of Weston Longville.
Churchyard
The churchyard walls and gate are separately listed by Historic England. The low main wall has very fine flint knapping with decorative stone panels and a gabled stone coping in three shallow steps. Either side of the entrance gateway the wall is higher, with a middle flint band between courses in brick. The original wrought iron gate has piers matching the main wall coping. To the west, the school wall was part of the same design, with piers now lacking gates and a wall also with a central band of flint. The school was part of the same architectural ensemble as the church, but it has been seriously altered and it, with its wall, is not listed. The churchyard has been extended to the north. The original part has been denuded of its tombstones, but a chest tomb for Caroline Webb, died 1831, survives and is listed, Grade II, despite having lost its iron railings.
Rectory
In contrast to the Gothic church, the very large original rectory (now the Old Rectory) is a two-storey building in a Neoclassical style. It is built in Bath stone, with a slate hipped roof - the slate would have come by sea to Bristol from north Wales, then by canal. The stone door-case has a pair of columns in the Doric order, supporting a triglyph frieze and triangular pediment. The original coach house, now the Old Rectory Cottage, is in the same style. Both edifices are Grade II listed buildings.

Schneider is the brand of beer produced by the Compañía de Cervecerías Unidas Argentina (CCUA), or Company of United Beer Producers, in Spanish. The CCUA is as of 2006, the 3rd largest producer of beer in Argentina. It controls around 16% of the beer market in the country, and is the official importer of foreign brands Heineken and Budweiser in Argentina. It also imports and commercializes Corona and Guinness.
Location
In 1995, the original CCU (based in Uruguay) initiated operations in Argentina. The CCUA is now owned principally by the CCU and Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser). Since then, the company has built two factories in the provinces of Salta and Santa Fe, and sells all around the country through distribution points in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Rosario, the three major cities of Argentina.
Products
There are three types of beer produced under the franchise of Schneider:
Rubia - (Spanish for blond) The name is given to the beer due to its bright-gold and clear color. This is the traditional and most popular Schneider beer. It contains 4.7% alcohol and is a mixture of the lager and the German pilsener kinds of beer. It comes in bottles of 1,000, 930, and 660 cm³ and cans of 473 and 355 cm³, as well as in barrels of 30 and 50 litres.
Fuerte - (Spanish for strong) Having a 6.0% of alcohol, it is among the strongest beers in the country. It is a lager beer of oktoberfest/märzen style. It has a bitter taste and a slightly reddish color. It comes in bottles of 930 and 1,000 cm³, and cans of 355 cm³.
Negra - (Spanish for black) Is produced completely of toasted malt and claims to be the only true black beer of the country. It has an extremely dark color and sweet taste. It comes in bottles of 930 cm³.
Ten Pack
Schneider has recently released a Ten Pack box for their cans. This pack has a peculiar design forming a rectangular box with two rows of 5 cans. On one of the sides, the top corner is colored red and has a cut-it-out mechanism which creates a hole fitting a 355 can for its extraction, leaving the pack still together.

Joseph Renshaw Brown (1805–1870) was an American politician, pioneer, fur trader, newspaper editor, businessman, inventor, speculator, and Indian agent who was prominent in Minnesota and Wisconsin territorial and state politics for over 50 years.
Early life and family
Brown was born in Harford County, Maryland, on January 5, 1805. His third wife, Susan Frenier (1819-1904), was a member of the Sisseton tribe of Dakota and the half-sister of Gabriel Renville, who became his legal ward.
At the age of 15, he left his apprenticeship as a printer to join the army, and was sent to Cantonment New Hope to work on the construction of Fort Snelling. He was discharged from the army in 1828.
Public service
Brown first came to Minnesota in 1820 when the land was Michigan Territory, traveling throughout what became Minnesota and Wisconsin during this time. In 1857, he was appointed Indian Agent to the Dakota Sioux.
Brown served in the House of Representatives of the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature from 1840-1842. He also served in the Territorial Council of the Minnesota Territorial Legislature from 1854-1855, representing District 6, and in the Minnesota Territorial House of Representatives in 1857, representing District 10. He also represented District 10 at the Minnesota Constitutional Convention in 1857.
Role in Dakota War of 1862
When the Dakota War of 1862 broke out, his mixed-blood family and the whites fleeing with them were captured but not killed due to his wife's bravery in standing up to Dakota leaders Stands on Clouds, also known as "Cut Nose," Little Six, Dowanniye and hostile warriors who surrounded their wagon and threatened them. Their son Samuel J. Brown later wrote, "So she stood up in the wagon, and waving her shawl she cried in a loud voice that she was a Sisseton –– a relative of Waanatan, Scarlet Plume, Sweetcorn, Akipa and friend of Standing Buffalo, that she had come down this way for protection and hoped to get it." One of the men in their party recognized Susan Brown and argued in favor of sparing her life, because she had taken him in one winter and saved his life. When the men said they would kill the whites in their party regardless, she declared, "Remember what I say, if you harm any of these friends of mine, you will have to answer to Scarlet Plume, Akipa, Standing Buffalo, and the whole Sisseton and Wahpeton tribe!"
Susan Brown and her children were rescued on August 23 by her stepfather Akipa, a full-blood Wahpeton, and her half-brother Charles Renville Crawford, who demanded their release. She spent the rest of the war under the protection of the "friendly" Dakota camp of Akipa, Gabriel Renville and the Dakota Peace Party, which opposed conflict with the United States. In the final days of the war, Little Crow confided in Susan Brown as he grew increasingly despondent about his options.
Joseph Brown was away at the outbreak of the war. Upon his return, desperate to find out what happened to his wife and family, he asked to join the burial expedition which left Fort Ridgely on August 31, 1862, and ended up wounded by a ball in his neck on September 2 during the Battle of Birch Coulee. He was finally reunited with his family at Camp Release.
He died on November 9, 1870, in New York City and was buried in Brown Cemetery, Henderson, Minnesota.
House and legacy
The Joseph R. Brown State Wayside Rest is located on Renville County Highway 15, south of Sacred Heart, Minnesota. The site displays the granite ruins of Brown's home, which was destroyed on August 19, 1862 during the Dakota War of 1862. The three story home was a considered a mansion when compared with many other pioneer homes of the day.
Minnesota's Brown County, Browns Valley in Traverse County, and Brown's Creek near Stillwater in Washington County are named after him.
Personal life
Brown was married three times. His first wife, Margaret, was considered a Mixed-blood Ojibwe, whom he divorced in December 1839.
