Brønnøy District Court () was a district court in Nordland county, Norway. The court was based in the town of Brønnøysund. The court existed from 1919 until 2021. It served the municipalities of Bindal, Brønnøy, Sømna, Vega, and Vevelstad. Cases from this court could be appealed to Hålogaland Court of Appeal. The court was led by the chief judge () Rolf Selfors, who also lead the neighboring Alstahaug District Court and Rana District Court at the time of the court's dissolution. This court employed a chief judge, one other judge, and four prosecutors.
The court was a court of first instance. Its judicial duties were mainly to settle criminal cases and to resolve civil litigation as well as bankruptcy. The administration and registration tasks of the court included death registration, issuing certain certificates, performing duties of a notary public, and officiating civil wedding ceremonies. Cases from this court were heard by a combination of professional judges and lay judges.
History
The court was established on 11 July 1919 when the old Søndre Helgeland District Court was divided and the southern part of that geographical jurisdiction was separated to become the new Brønnøy District Court (the rest of the area remained part of the Søndre Helgeland District Court which was later renamed as Alstahaug District Court). On 26 April 2021, the court was merged with the Alstahaug District Court and Rana District Court to create the new Helgeland District Court.

The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association was established in 1993 in response to an identified need for a national farm safety networking and coordinating agency to address problems of illness, injuries and accidental death in farmers, their families and agricultural workers. Since then, CASA has worked to improve the health and safety conditions of those who live and work on Canadian farms.
CASA is funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Renewal Chapter and has applied for similar support under the federal government's Growing Forward program for 2009–2013.
In the past, CASA acted as facilitator and enabler. For instance, in 2007-08, CASA extended $637,365 to 20 organizations for 24 farm safety projects, directly reaching more than 376,000 producers across Canada.
In the future, CASA will operate as a national health and safety initiator and service provider.
Canada's agricultural industry is one of the top three most hazardous industries in which to work. And yet, farmers themselves believe their safety habits are better than fair. Farm Credit Canada recently conducted a national survey to determine farmer's attitudes toward safety. The final report is a self-assessment of how farmers visualize their safety performance. They gave themselves a "B".
CASA has dedicated itself to close the gap between what they believe and what is actually occurring.
At CASA's Safety Summit of October 2008, in Saskatoon, there was consensus that CASA must move forward with the proposed strategic plan. Many of the participants committed, on behalf of their organizations, to support the strategy with time and resources.
Recent Successes
Contributing to a sector that is competitive and innovative:
Return on investment - every dollar allocated to CASA is matched in cash or in-kind.
Credible central source of agricultural safety e.g. Discovery Channel.
Agricultural Injury/Fatality data collected and compiled. Reports produced.
Contact list has grown to over 840 people and organizations.
Two research centers now have a rural/agricultural component as part of their mandate and producing reports and recommendations.
Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute has developed guarding retrofits for augers and machines and refined a pot-lifting device to improve ergonomics in Nurseries. Funding for a pilot program to retrofit tractors without Roll Overprotective Structures (ROPS) is underway.
Successful projects developed in one province modified for national reach. e.g.: Confined spaces training by the Union des producteurs agricoles, Work Horse training by Institute for Agricultural and Rural Environmental Health.
U.S. farm foundation is working to create a CASA-like organization in the U.S.
Enabling a sector that contributes to society's priorities:
Funding of Canadian Farmers with Disabilities Registry (CFWDR) has permitted networking for disabled farmers.
Partnership with the Progressive Agriculture Safety Days allows CASA to reach over 7,000 Canadian rural youth and volunteers annually.
CASA regularly receives media requests and e-mail requests for information.
Website statistics continue to show increased traffic and downloads.
Producer organizations are actively involved in Canadian Agricultural Safety Week launches. The campaign was awarded an *International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Ottawa Excel Award in the Public Relations category.
Building a sector that is proactive in managing risks:
Trend data indicates decrease in tractor and child related injuries.
CASA has influenced editorial content of agricultural publications.
Farmers are supporting safety initiatives with resolutions at AGMs such as Dairy Farmers and KAP.
Farm machinery manufacturers are involved in CSA standards updates.
Governance
CASA is led by a seven-person Board of Directors elected for three-year terms by the 32-member Council. The Board elects its Executive annually. Visit the CASA/ACSA website for information about the current Board of Directors.
Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR)
Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) formerly the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) - is an integrated national surveillance project of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association that guides and informs the national agricultural health and safety agenda.
CAISP's latest national report Agricultural Injuries in Canada for 1990–2005 can be downloaded free.
It describes the occurrence of fatal agricultural injuries in Canada by age group and mechanism of injury. There were 1,769 agricultural fatalities in Canada from 1990 to 2005. Overall, more than half of the agricultural fatalities were due to four machine-related causes: machine rollovers, machine runovers, machine entanglements and traffic collisions. The top five causes of agricultural fatalities in Canada were machine rollovers (20.5%), machine runovers (18.6%), machine entanglements (8.3%), traffic collisions (7.3%), and being pinned or struck by a machine (7.0%).
Their recent fifteen-year summary reports on fatal agricultural rollovers, runovers, animal injuries, injuries to older adults and injuries to children can be downloaded here.
Canadian Agricultural Safety and Health Program (CASHP)
Under the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Framework Agreement on Agricultural and Agri-Food Policy, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) has been recognized as the association to provide a forum for directing and coordinating activities with a national, multi-provincial or provincial scope specifically related to farm safety and rural health issues.
In 2008-09, CASA approved $283,642.50 for 16 projects under CASHP.
Progressive Agriculture Safety Days
CASA supports the Progressive Agriculture Safety Days in Canada. This educational program has helped children across Canada learn about dangers and potential deadly outcomes of unsafe behaviour on the farm.
"When an individual or community partners with the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program, they are provided planning resources to help each Safety Day become a success" says Susan Reynolds, Executive Director-Programs of the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day. "Through our program, each lead coordinator is provided training on how to organize a Safety Day and is offered year-round support."
Each safety day is organized locally, allowing communities to meet local priorities in their area. Children rotate among different safety stations, allowing each child the opportunity to participate in interactive and engaging activities."
In 2009, 72 Safety Days are planned for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick involving more than 13,000 youth and over 3000 adult volunteers!
Founded by The Progressive Farmer magazine in the U.S. in 1995, the program trains and provides the resources that local communities need to conduct one-day safety programs that are age-appropriate, hands-on, fun, and safe for children. While the basic program reaches children ages of 8 to 13, safety days may also be conducted for 4- to 7-year-olds or even entire families.
The mission of the Progressive Agriculture Safety Days is to make farm and ranch life safer and healthier for all children through education and training.

Vernon Lomax Smith (born January 1, 1927) is an American economist and professor of business economics and law at Chapman University. He was formerly a professor of economics at the University of Arizona, professor of economics and law at George Mason University, and a board member of the Mercatus Center. Along with Daniel Kahneman, Smith shared the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to behavioral economics and his work in the field of experimental economics. He worked to establish 'laboratory experiments as a tool in empirical economic analysis, especially in the study of alternative market mechanisms'.
Smith is the founder and president of the International Foundation for Research in Experimental Economics, a Member of the Board of Advisors for The Independent Institute, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington D.C. In 2004 Smith was honored with an honorary doctoral degree at Universidad Francisco Marroquín, the institution that named the Vernon Smith Center for Experimental Economics Research after him. He was also a founding board member of the Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University. As of 2023, Smith also sits on the Advisory Board for Florida Atlantic University's Madden Center for Value Creation.
Early life and education
Smith was born in Wichita, Kansas, where he attended Wichita North High School and Friends University. Grover Bougher, Vernon's mother's first husband, who worked as a fireman on the Santa Fe railroad, died in a tragic accident which proved to be pivotal. The life insurance money provided by the Santa Fe railroad was invested in a farm which became the sole means of survival for Vernon's family during the tough years of the Great Depression. While the farm brought hard work and hard times for Vernon's parents, Vernon liked the adventurous experiences. His life-long interest in learning how things work was kindled by his childhood at the farm.
Smith received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Caltech in 1949, an M.A. in economics from the University of Kansas in 1952, and his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 1955.
Academic career
Smith's first teaching post was at the Krannert School of Management, Purdue University, which he held from 1955 until 1967, attaining the rank of full professor.
Smith also taught as a visiting associate professor at Stanford University (1961–1962) and there made contact with Sidney Siegel, who was also doing work in experimental economics. Smith moved with his family to Massachusetts and got a position first at Brown University (1967–1968) and then at the University of Massachusetts (1968–1972). Smith also received appointments at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (1972–1973) and Caltech (1973–1975).
Much of the research that earned Smith the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was conducted at the University of Arizona between 1976 and 2001. In 2001, Smith left Arizona for George Mason University. From 2003 to 2006, he held the Rasmuson Chair of Economics at the University of Alaska Anchorage. In 2008, Smith founded the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University in Orange, California.
Smith has served on the board of editors of the American Economic Review, the Cato Journal, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Science, Economic Theory, Economic Design, and the Journal of Economic Methodology. He also served as an expert for the Copenhagen Consensus.
Academic work
Smith began his work in experimental economics at Purdue University. As Smith describes it:
In framing the experiment, Smith varied certain institutional parameters seen in the first classroom economics experiments as conducted by Edward Chamberlin: in particular, he ran the experiments for several trading periods, to give the student subjects time to train.
At Caltech, Charles Plott encouraged Smith to formalize the methodology of experimental economics, which he did in two articles. In 1976, "Experimental Economics: Induced Value Theory" was published in the American Economic Review (AER). It was the first articulation of the principle behind economic experiments. Six years later, these principles were expanded in "Microeconomic Systems as an Experimental Science," also in the AER. This paper adapts the principles of mechanism design, a microeconomic system developed by Leonid Hurwicz, to the development of economic experiments. In Hurwicz's formulation, a microeconomic system consists of an economic environment, an economic institution (or economic mechanism), and an economic outcome. The economic environment is simply the preferences of the people in the economy and the production capabilities of the firms in the economy. The key insight in this formulation is that the economic outcome can be affected by the economic institution. The mechanism design provides a formal means for tests of the performance of an economic institution, and experimental economics, as developed by Smith, provided a means for formal empirical assessment of the performance of economic institutions. The second main contribution of the paper is to the technique of induced values, the method used in controlled laboratory experiments in economics, political science, and psychology, which allows experimental economists to create a replica of a market in a laboratory. Subjects in an experiment are told that they can produce a "commodity" at a cost and then sell it to buyers. The seller earns the difference between the price received and its cost. Buyers are told that the commodity has a value to them when they consume it, and they earn the difference between the value of the commodity to them and its price. Using the technique, Smith and his coauthors have examined the performance of alternative trading mechanisms in resource allocation.
In February 2011, Smith participated in the "Visiting Scholars Series" at the Nicholas Academic Centers in Santa Ana, California, conducted in collaboration with Chapman University. Smith and his colleague Bart Wilson conducted experiments designed to expose high school students from underserved neighborhoods to market dynamics and how concepts such as altruism influence economic behavior.
Smith has authored or coauthored articles and books on capital theory, finance, natural resource economics and experimental economics. He was also one of the first to propose the combinatorial auction design, with Stephen J. Rassenti and Robert L. Bulfin in 1982.
In January 2009, Smith signed a public petition opposing the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In a 2010 Econ Journal Watch study, Smith was found to be one of the most active petition-signers among US economists.
The Vernon Smith Prize for the Advancement of Austrian Economics is named after him and is sponsored by the European Center of Austrian Economics.
Personal life
In February 2005, Smith publicly attributed features of his personality to Asperger syndrome after a process of self-diagnosis.

HNLMS Jacob van Heemskerck () was a unique coastal defence ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy built by the Rijkswerf in Amsterdam. She was among the ships send to patrol the Venezuelan coast during the Second Castro Crisis. After her active career she was rebuilt into a stationary battery ship and recommissioned. During World War II she was captured by the invading German forces and converted in an anti-aircraft battery. After the war the ship was recovered and given back to the Netherlands, to be converted to an accommodation ship.
Design
The ship was long, had a beam of , a draught of , and had a displacement of 4,920 ton. The ship was equipped with 2 shaft reciprocating engines, which were rated at and produced a top speed of . The ship had a belt armour of , barbette armour and turret armour. Two single turret guns provided the ship's main armament, and these were augmented by six single guns and six single guns. The ship had a complement of 340 men.
Service history
The ship was built at the Rijkswerf in Amsterdam. Prince Henry of the Netherlands attended the launch ceremony and christened the ship on 22 September 1906. The ship was commissioned on 22 April 1908. The same year she, together with the s Friesland and Gelderland were sent to patrol the Venezuelan coast during the Second Castro Crisis.
On 16 May 1910 the ship left the port of IJmuiden to steam for Sheerness to bring Prince Henry of the Netherlands to the funeral of Edward VII of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland that was held on 20 May. During the last part of the journey the ship was escorted by five British torpedo boats.
Later that year the Belgian king Albert I and his wife made a state visit to the Netherlands. During this visit, they visited the IJ in Amsterdam where Jacob van Heemskerck, Friesland, , , and other Dutch warships were present and fired shots in salute. The pair were given a tour on the van Heemskerck.
On 24 July the ship left the port Den Helder for the coronation fleet review of King George V at Spithead on 27 June.
On 17 May 1917 the ship, together with the lugger Zorg en Vlijt picked up the crew of the luggers Mercurius and Jacoba that were boarded and later scuttled by a German submarine 50 nautical miles off the coast of IJmuiden.
World War II
After her active career she was rebuilt into a stationary battery ship and renamed Batterijschip IJmuiden and recommissioned on 19 April 1939. She was stationed in IJmuiden. During the German invasion in World War II on 14 May 1940 she was scuttled by her crew to prevent her being captured by the German forces.
The Germans however raised the ship on 16 July 1940 and towed her to Amsterdam on 24 July. From there she was towed to Kiel in March 1941. There she was rebuilt into a floating anti-aircraft battery at the Howaldtswerke and renamed Undine.
After the war she was found back in Wilhelmshafen and returned to the Netherlands.
At the Rijkswerf in Amsterdam she was rebuilt into an accommodation ship. She was recommissioned on 23 February 1948 and renamed Neptunus. This role she fulfilled until her decommissioning on 13 September 1974. On 4 October that same year she was stricken.

A matricellular protein is a dynamically expressed non-structural protein that is present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Rather than serving as stable structural elements in the ECM, these proteins are rapidly turned over and have regulatory roles. They characteristically contain binding sites for ECM structural proteins and cell surface receptors, and may sequester and modulate activities of specific growth factors.
Examples of matricellular proteins include the CCN family of proteins (also known as CCN intercellular signaling protein), fibulins, osteopontin, periostin, SPARC family members, tenascin(s), and thrombospondins. Many of these proteins have important functions in wound healing and tissue repair.

Patrick Mora (born 1952) is a French theoretical plasma physicist who specializes in laser-plasma interactions. He was awarded the 2014 Hannes Alfvén Prize and 2019 Edward Teller Award for his contributions to the field of laser-plasma physics.
Mora is a research director of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a professor at the École Polytechnique in Paris, where he is also director of the Institut Lasers et Plasmas (Institute for Lasers and Plasmas).
Early life and career
Mora studied from 1971 to 1975 at the École normale supérieure. In 1975, he received his agrégation in physics and in 1980 he received his doctorate from Université Paris-Sud. From 1975 to 1982, he did research at the Saclay Nuclear Research Centre and from 1982 for the French National Centre for Scientific Research. Since 1989, he has also been a professor at the École Polytechnique. In 2001, he became director of the Center for Theoretical Physics and in 2009, the director of the Institute for Lasers and Plasmas.
Scientific contributions
Mora developed a widely used model of the interaction of laser light with plasmas in connection with energy transport in plasma and plasma hydrodynamics. With his colleague Jean-Francois Luciani, he also developed a nonlinear and non-local theory of heat transport in a plasma via electrons. This has applications in improving numerical simulations in laser-driven inertial fusion. With Tom Antonsen, he developed a model of the propagation of laser pulses in non-dense plasmas that revealed their tendency to self-focus or to display Raman scattering. Mora developed a theory of the expansion of plasmas into vacuum, which explains the flow dynamics and structure of the ion front. His theories are used to explain ion and electron beam acceleration experiments.
Honors and awards
In 1997, he received the Paul Langevin Prize from the Société Française de Physique.
In 2014, he received the Hannes Alfvén Prize from the European Physical Society for "decisive results in the field of laser-produced plasma physics, in particular for illuminating descriptions of laser light absorption in plasmas, electron heat transport in steep temperature gradients and plasma expansion dynamics into vacuum".
In 2019, he received the Edward Teller Award from the American Nuclear Society for "his scientific contributions to laser-plasma physics, from laser from laser light absorption to non-local electron heat transport and plasma expansion dynamics, and for his inspiring spirit of community service".

Pennsylvania Diners & Other Roadside Restaurants is a 1993 documentary created by Rick Sebak. The program originated in a 1992 item in The Pennsylvania Road Show about Lee's Diner. It was to be called "Pennsylvania Diners" but added "Other Roadside Restaurants" to cover other establishments than diners. When it was released on DVD in 2006, additional stories not seen nationally were included.
Reception
In 1994 the show was nominated to the Mid Atlantic Emmy Award Competition, for "Outstanding Cultural Programming".
David Dillon, the architecture critic from The Dallas Morning News reviewed the show describing it as "amiable, if somewhat plodding".

Levi Canning is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Richie Morris. The actor auditioned for the role in early 2020 and successfully received the role of the newly created Levi Canning, a police officer and a replacement character for Gary Canning (Damien Richardson), as well as a new member of Kyle (Chris Milligan) and Sheila Canning's (Colette Mann) family. Morris called his first day on set surreal and explained that wearing a police vest helped him get into character. Morris described Levi as very passionate, very cheeky and very charming, and noted that he takes his work seriously, but also loves his family. Levi is first seen on screens on 15 June 2020 and quickly becomes involved in dramatic scenes, where he rescues a stolen baby. The character also kisses Kyle's love interest, Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson). Levi soon befriends Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) and he suffers an epileptic attack in front of her, before begging for her to keep it to herself. Sheila guiltily reveals that Levi was attacked by Kyle's criminal friends when he was younger and Levi tells his family that the incident gave him epilepsy.
Levi and Bea develop feelings for each other and producers swiftly introduced one of Levi's childhood attackers, Nathan Packard (Jackson Gallagher), who writers used as a plot device to establish a love triangle storyline. Nathan apologises to Levi for the past and Bea rejects him when she finds out he is to blame for Levi's attack. Levi and Bea finally begin dating afterwards. The following year, Levi sets up a road trip for the pair of them, but Bea, who had been experiencing doubts for the past few weeks, breaks up with him and leaves town. Morris explained that the break-up was hard for Levi to process, as it happened so fast and that their different views on life led to their break-up. Levi suffers in an accident caused by him trying to distract himself from his and Bea's split. Producers decided to bring in Levi's other attackers, Mitch Foster (Kevin Hofbauer) and Nelson Ryker (Rhys Mitchell), who act unremorseful and taunt Levi, before a high-speed car chase results in a crash. Morris explained there was a lot of excitement and anxiety on the day of recording the crash.
Levi finds himself having feelings for Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton), who also has feelings for Ned Willis (Ben Hall). Ned openly suggests that they go into a polyamorous relationship together and they agree, to the disapproval of Sheila, Levi's mother and Amy's daughter. It marks the serial's first polyamory relationship. The storyline develops into a rivalry between Levi and Ned, who both compete for Amy's time, and the relationship was unliked by fans and people on social media, whilst one journalist questioned if the serial's portrayal of polyamory was executed correctly. Isabella Giovinazzo was then cast as Felicity Higgins, another roadblock for the polyamorous relationship, as Amy is opposed to Levi dating Felicity. Levi eventually breaks up with Amy and Felicity, who were both acting out of nature. Levi later meets Freya Wozniak (Pheobe Roberts), who manipulates Levi into liking her so she can find Gareth Bateman (Jack Pearson). Freya ends up falling for Levi, who is shot in the arm by Gareth in a climactic end to an episode. Levi and Freya later confess their love for one another. Morris' final scenes aired on 28 July 2022 as part of the serial's finale episode. One journalist said that Morris' character had not been involved in many interesting storylines, whilst another called Levi unlucky in love. Morris' addition to the serial was seen as a good step in normalising diverse television casting.
Creation and casting
Producers created Levi as a new member of the serial's pre-established Canning family. He is Kyle Canning's (Chris Milligan) cousin and Sheila Canning's (Colette Mann) grandson. The character was created to fulfill Gary Canning's (Damien Richardson) spot, who had been killed off as part of the serial's 35th anniversary. In early 2020, executive producer Jason Herbison told Radio Times, "The Canning house will be quieter without Gary, but there are plans to populate the place with another member of the family soon." Morris' casting and the character's creation was announced by Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy on 4 June 2020. Morris said of his casting, "Being a part of the Cannings is so humbling because they are such a fun and iconic family on Ramsay Street, which provides not only loads of drama but also so much humour. I couldn't ask for more. Plus, I get to work and learn from both Chris and Colette, who I idolise." Morris auditioned for the role at 21 years old in early 2020 and secured the part, before relocating from Sydney to Melbourne to act on the serial in a regular capacity. Kilkelly reported that Morris trained at Sydney Theatre School and Sydney Film School, and had made appearances in theatre performances, short films and advertisements, and is also a "keen martial arts practitioner", having done boxing, kickboxing and judo. Morris said that he would be excited to implement martial arts into his acting. Whilst talking to HuffPost Australia, Morris, who is half-Nigerian half-Lebanese, reflected on the positive reactions from "culturally diverse" viewers to see a multicultural actor in the serial. He told the outlet, "It’s very humbling that I am able to come on set and provide a little diversity within the cast. I believe it is very important to have diversity on screens. When I moved to Australia, I was lucky enough to have amazing parents that taught me about what racism might look like and how to peacefully deal with it if it were to ever occur to me."
Development
Characterisation and introduction
In a video posted to the serial's YouTube channel, Morris revealed that, following questioning from fans, he was the son of Frank Canning Jr., another character created, who is Sheila's son. Levi was raised by Frank Jr. and his wife, Jackie, who had been mentioned since the introduction of Levi's half-brothers, Dane Canning (Luke Pegler) and Harley Canning (Justin Holborow). Morris explained on camera, "I noticed a lot of people online kept asking who Levi's parents were. Levi's dad is actually Frank Jr, he's Sheila's son and that's where I came from." Levi is introduced as Ramsay Street's new police officer and Morris teased that the character had a lot of secrets and told fans that they would "find out soon enough". Morris also admitted that wearing the police uniform helped him get into character and stated that "the physicality of things and even when I put the vest on, it's a completely different feeling and my shoulders go back and my head goes up." He also called wearing the uniform "transformative" on him. Morris explained that he "did a lot of research" on the police force in his own time to better portray his character. He also revealed that he spoke with Mann's son, who is an ex-cop, to help him better understand a police officer's job. Morris described his character as "very passionate, very cheeky, very charming and he takes his job very seriously, but he also loves his family and friends. He is very interesting." Morris also jokingly asked producers to give Levi some designer's clothes, similar to that of Hendrix Greyson (Ben Turland).
Morris first appeared on Australian screens as Levi on 15 June 2020. Kilkelly reported that he would have a "dramatic first week". Morris' first scene sees Levi "jokingly" pulls over Kyle, who is driving with Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) and is "horrified" to get pulled over. When Kyle notices it is Levi, "his panic turns to relief" and he introduces Levi to Bea. Morris called his first scene "surreal" and said he was "nervous as" and "kept having to pinch" himself because he was in front of Mann and Milligan. Kilkelly also explained that Levi "doesn't get the warmest of welcomes from Sheila" and that Ramsay Street residents would be "speculating over why". Kilkelly suggested that "one possibility is that Sheila could hold a grudge because Levi was conceived when her son Frank Jr had an affair." Levi explains that the force has relocated him to Erinsborough and Kyle asks their grandmother if Levi can move in, but Sheila is "reluctant" to agree, however bosses later announced that Levi would be moving into the street within a month. Levi also helps Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) track down Andrea Somers (Madeleine West), who has kidnapped their son, and "classic" dramatic scenes see Levi arrest Andrea. Levi also kisses Kyle's love interest, Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson). Roxy plays "strip dart" with Levi and pours a drink over him when he refuses to take his shirt off, resulting in the two kissing. Kyle forgives him when he finds out Levi was unaware of his feelings towards Roxy. Within his first month of appearances, Morris said, "I've received some really loving fan messages that I'm also very thankful for."
Epilepsy
Levi decides to help Kyle clean up the island that Gary was killed on, and Levi helps Bea with the cleaning, before having a seizure in front of her. He stops Bea from finding help and explains that he has epilepsy, "a neurological condition that affects the brain and can lead to seizures and unusual behaviour". Levi "begs" Bea not to tell anyone and admits that his family are unaware of his condition. Louise McCreesh of Digital Spy explained that Levi would be "determined to keep the truth" from his family. Levi reveals that his job does not allow epileptic people on the force and Bea worries for Levi's partner's, Yashvi Rebecchi's (Olivia Junkeer), safety. Bea asks what has caused his condition and Levi gets "offended", then tells her that he has dealt with it for most of his life and he will continue doing so. Bea also helps Levi hide his pills when Yashvi catches him taking them. Sheila later reveals to her partner that she has been feeling guilty due to an incident that occurred during Levi's childhood that nobody knows about and the truth would "break her family apart". Later, Levi tells Roxy about "one disturbing night from his childhood", where he was attacked by burglars while playing with a toy train in his home in Frankston, which gave him his epilepsy. Charlie Milward of Daily Express named the event Levi's "tragic past".
Morris' character explained that the incident "deeply scarred" him and caused "nightmares for years", while the fear of the burglars returning was always in his mind. Sheila "guiltily" reveals the truth to Levi and explains that the attackers were Kyle's "criminal friends", there to attack him, and that Sheila did not tell the police to avoid Kyle getting any punishment. Lee reported that Levi would be "shocked" and "angry that he was denied justice and spent years worrying about the attackers." Before ignoring Sheila's apology and explanation, he abruptly leaves and finds Bea to confide in her, whilst Sheila worries that Levi will leave town. Kyle requests that Levi be more sympathetic towards Sheila and dramatic scenes see Levi telling his cousin to get lost. Lee billed the storyline as tense and headlined that it has the "Canning family left devastated". Kilkelly explained that Levi was upset that Sheila had put Kyle in front of him and he remains "upset" with her, before taking "matters into his own hands" and moving out. He also tells Sheila that he will "never forgive her", but later feels financial pressures and eventually decides to move back in with his family. He also reveals that the attack is the "horrendous ordeal" that caused his epilepsy, leaving Sheila in more grief. A few months later, Levi's superior at work, Dax Braddock (Dean Kirkright), discovers his condition and blackmails him, before swapping out his medication and causing him to have another seizure. Levi is found and forced to tell his family the truth.
Relationship with Bea Nilsson
Producers decided to pair Levi and Bea together in a romantic relationship with a long build-up. Levi and Bea develop feelings for each other as their friendship grows tighter and they continue confiding in each other, but "nothing happens between them" for months. As they "continue to show romantic potential", Levi ends up rejecting Bea twice and she decides to wait for him to make a move first, but Levi "puts some distance" between them. Producers then decided to introduce Nathan Packard (Jackson Gallagher) to the serial, who would serve as a "rival" for Levi and a plot device to ultimately progress Levi and Bea's relationship. It turns out that Nathan was one of Levi's childhood attackers, who Kyle contacts to try and give Levi some closure. Levi is unaware of Nathan's identity and jealously watches Bea "enjoying the company of Nathan". Gallagher explained, "Sparks fly and there ensues the love triangle, because Bea and Levi are on again, off again." Nathan reveals his identity in an apology letter which he sends to Levi and Sheila also meets with him to make amends, whilst Bea "is left questioning her taste in men." Levi selflessly encourages Bea to begin dating Nathan. Bea finds Levi the following week to inform him that she will be going on a date with Nathan, but she soon becomes aware of his "obvious sadness". Roxy, aware of Levi's feelings, tells Bea of how Levi feels about her and Kilkelly reported that she would be "annoyed that Levi wasn't honest about his feelings when he had every chance to ask her out". Nathan leaves town as a "reformed character".
It was announced on 28 December 2020 that Levi and Bea would be in some "romantic scenes" together, as things "remain awkward between them", but their family and friends are keen for them to start a relationship. At a Christmas party, Levi is paired with Bea during a game of charades and both guess each other's answers repeatedly, showing that they are "very compatible", and they kiss under the mistletoe at the end of the night after they talk about their feelings with one another. Lee thought their kiss was "About time!" Writers soon establish a struggle in Levi and Bea's new relationship, as Bea is hospitalised due to eating poisoned mushrooms at Kyle's restaurant. Levi discovers that Kyle is to blame and reports the incident to the local city council, causing a "longterm family feud". Morris said of Levi's actions, "Honestly, he's in 100 minds as obviously he's a cop and it needs to be done, but he doesn't want to backstab his family. He has to protect the public's health as well so it's a bunch of things. Levi is very much black and white and struggles to see the grey. It's an interesting family for him to be in." Morris also added, "I was really excited for Levi and Kyle to have a clash, that always makes good television, and exploring that part of the relationship is always fun. But I was really enjoying the jokes I had with Chris Milligan on set and playing that kind of playful relationship so it was good to explore something new between them, but it was sad to say goodbye to their playful side for the time being." Morris also told Julians that Sheila would be trying to mend the situation and said, "She does what Sheila usually does and is trying to show the family that she loves everyone in a way that only Sheila knows how. I don't think issues are ever fully dealt with on Ramsay Street, to be honest, but families fight, they make up and they fight again so I think this is going to be a bit of a rollercoaster." He told Joe Julians of Radio Times that the feud would "really puts his feelings for Bea into perspective and realise this is a relationship he really wants to pursue". The storyline occurs close to Morris' one year anniversary on the serial and Morris explained that was "still loving" being part of the show. He said, "It's honestly the greatest experience that I have had and it's such an honour to be on this show. I think it would be great to explore more of Levi's past, parents and siblings and all that so we get a better of understanding of him and Frankston, where he came from."
Lee announced on 5 March 2022 that Anderson had quit her role as Bea, meaning that Levi's "blossoming" relationship with her would be ending in the coming months. Feeling confident about their relationship, Levi organises a surprise road trip for himself and Bea, however Bea begins to feel doubts about where their relationship is going and breaks up with Levi, before heading on the road trip by herself. The split leaves Levi "blindsided and heartbroken by the break up". Morris explained, "He feels a sense of emptiness. From the break-up to her leaving happening so quickly, he didn't have the time to really process it." To "find ways to distract himself", Levi finds himself "turning to alcohol" and destroys a billy cart he was making with Bea. Levi becomes involved in The Flamingo Bar's Longest Workout Competition on a makeshift, "rushed" and "shaky" stage, before Levi gets "badly injured". Levi pushes himself to the point where the stage falls down from under him and he collapses, but soon recovers. Morris told Digital Spy that Anderson's exit "was honestly such a shock!"
Reflecting on his character's relationship with Bea, Morris said, "I think they both had different perspectives on life a bit. Levi wasn't comfortable with living in a grey area where he wasn't sure of certain things with Bea. And maybe Levi tried to overcompensate by flooding her with signs of gratification and love – it might have been a little too suffocating for Bea. They have different love languages. Levi now struggles to comprehend what's happened. When something ends so abruptly, it's hard to wrap your head around it and make sense of it. So Levi goes to being in his shell, to being full of rage and crying. So it's a rollercoaster of emotions for him." Levi's family are led to believe that he and Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan) have slept together, but their theory is busted. Kilkelly also asked Morris of the possibility of a relationship between Levi and Harlow, and Morris said, "I think they would make a good match, to be honest. They are really compatible in the sense that they have a good time with each other. They have a really solid friendship, where they talk to each other and confide in each other about the things that they face and are struggling with – both in relationships and general life. So I think it would be interesting to pursue that. Harlow is, morally speaking, true to herself and I think Levi has that same personality trait. They both stand by what they believe and understand each other really well. I think it's good to be single for a bit and get his mojo back! I don't think it's healthy for him to deal with a break-up by jumping into another relationship – he can barely look after himself in the aftermath of Bea. So he definitely needs to stay single for a while."
Mitch Foster and Nelson Ryker
Producers decided to revisit Levi's childhood attack in June 2020 with the introduction of his other attackers, Mitch Foster (Kevin Hofbauer) and Nelson Ryker (Rhys Mitchell). Unlike Nathan, Mitch and Nelson are "unremorseful" and Levi begins spying on them, causing Kyle to worry. Levi finds a toy train left at his doorway and his house gets broken into, leaving him more suspicious of Mitch and Nelson, and Kyle reports them to the police. Levi "struggles with his emotions" and turns to Yashvi for support. Morris explained, "Realising just how much this whole situation affects him makes him really consider it." Yashvi takes Mitch and Nelson to the police station to question them about the house break-in and they become "frustrated". Junkeer explained, "Yashvi desperately wants to help Levi. They've developed this really strong friendship. They know they're there for each other no matter what. All Yashvi cares about is taking down Mitch and Nelson, for Levi's sake." Mitch and Nelson then threaten Sheila, who is "rattled", outside the police station. Levi and Yashvi continue watching the pair and Mitch meets with Yashvi to reveal that he wishes to change and that Nelson forces him to act maliciously. He asks Yashvi for police protection, but Levi does not allow it, before watching Mitch from afar go to a warehouse and smuggle stolen drones with Nelson.
Levi and Yashvi then follow them in their car in a "high-speed chase", while Sheila drives to find Levi and watches Levi and Mitch crash into one another, flipping Levi and Yashvi's car. Levi and Yashvi are left hanging upside in their seats and Levi is able to free himself, before Yashvi tells him to chase after Mitch and Nelson, who have fled into the bush. Morris explained in a behind the scenes video, "Everyone freaks out a little bit. Everyone gets a bit frantic because they're kind of like, 'I hope I get to do the stunts' but at the same time, 'Am I gonna die?' But then once we get the scripts and everything looks cool, then it's just pure excitement. All I had to do was hang upside down. We had these harnesses and then they just chucked us in the car upside down and then hooked us up into the seat. It felt unreal." Morris also explained that the "majority of all the stunts is prepping for the actual stunt day." He added that there were many stunt coordinators, who wanted limited takes in order to not waste resources. Morris also claimed that there was "a lot of excitement and anxiety" to get the "stunts perfect because it's massive, budget-wise, the extras and the actual cars flipping, everything, it's massive." Levi finds Mitch and Nelson in the bush and arrests them. When Mitch taunts Levi once more by asking if he was still a little boy, Levi pushes him to the ground.
Polyamory
Levi begins developing feelings for Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton), who also has feelings for Levi, but also for Ned Willis (Ben Hall). Stapleton said of the storyline, "Ned appeals to her sensitive side, and Levi is amusing to her. And frankly, they're both very pretty!" Ned later suggests to Levi and Amy that the three of them embark on a polyamorous relationship and, while Levi and Amy are initially reluctant, they listen to Ned and agree to give it a go. Hall expanded on Amy and Levi's reactions by saying, "Amy and Levi were shocked when Ned first brought it up. Ned and Levi aren't particularly close. Ned and Amy are also pretty fresh, and Ned has only recently come out of a relationship with Yashvi. I think they were surprised that Ned would be willing to suggest it – maybe they didn't think that he would be so open-minded. They definitely sit down and come up with some ground rules, as they think it's all going to implode on them. Karl and Kyle are both very intrigued by how that works, so there's a lot of questions. They definitely have to have some pretty solid rules."
The relationship marks the serial's first polyamorous relationship. Stapleton said, "I think we should always try to reflect real intimate relationships in our society. Polyamory certainly is a part of that. The more we represent the beautifully diverse nature and uniqueness of humans, the more people will feel accepted and seen." Of Amy's immediate response to the suggestion, Stapleton added, "Amy likes them equally and doesn't want to hurt either of them. While she hadn't considered polyamory as an option, it presents its own set of challenges." Sheila highly disapproves of the relationship and Lee called it her "traditional views" that are getting in the way. Sheila continues to express her dislike for Levi and tries to convince him repeatedly to abandon the relationship. Levi's mum, Evelyn Farlow (Paula Arundell), arrives in Erinsborough and agrees with Sheila's position on the relationship. Amy's attempts to befriend Evelyn fail and they have a "heart-to-heart" discussion about the "unconventional" relationship. Joe Anderton of Digital Spy described Evelyn's views as "conservative" and Evelyn leaves town when Levi reassures her of his feelings for Amy.
Hall later revealed that he, Morris and Stapleton "were surprised" when first learning of the storyline. He added, "But there are only so many storylines that Neighbours hasn't covered before and this is one of them. It was cool and it's interesting to explore." An article written by Emma Flint was published by Digital Spy on 26 August 2021 which questioned the writers' work in the storyline. Flint expressed that some viewers have issues with the fact "that the two parties aren't as keen on the idea, yet still go ahead with it." Flint questioned whether Ned "genuinely" believes the relationship is right or if it is "about avoiding potential rejection", and explained that television shows can portray polyamory wrongly and wrote "they're valid experiences that have the same depth and complexities of monogamous relationships", while fans did not greet the storyline friendly. A polyamorous vlogger commented on the storyline, "TV shows often use poly as a salutary lesson, a weekly plot point, or a way to help characters strengthen their monogamous relationships. Someone will experiment with poly, it'll ultimately go wrong, and they'll realise that actually, they were happy with monogamy all along. That's annoying. Poly relationships break down all the time, in the same way monogamous ones do – it shouldn't be (and in real life often isn't) a trigger for someone to abandon it altogether." Flint thought the writers were using the storyline as a "throwaway plot device" and "won't only do the characters a disservice but its audience as well." Hall said, "In true Neighbours fashion, they always want to keep it a bit sexy, a bit racy and turn a few heads. But at the same time, all three of us have been having chats with the writers and producers about putting in as much material to make the story as true to life as possible. We don't want to depict it in a way that is overly sexualised or anything like that. We want to have viewers that are maybe not aware of polyamorous relationships be intrigued and learn something, rather than it just being a frivolous nothing, or a relationship that people just condemn." During the storyline, Hall also admitted that he thought "it'll end in tears, but that's because it's Neighbours! I'm sure other people out there, who aren't as unstable as the characters on the Street, would probably manage it much better."
However, Levi and Ned continue to compete with one another for Amy's time and Levi's colleagues begin bullying him for the situation, joking that he and Ned are involved. Katie Baillie of Metro named the relationship "complicated from the start". Amy asks Levi and Ned for some space, but begins to believe that the rumours at the police station are true, so questions her boyfriends' sexuality. Levi is amazed that Amy would ask that question and "is fed up with it", while Baillie reported that he is being treated like the "butt of jokes at the police station". Levi suggests that he also dates another woman whilst dating Amy, however Amy gives him "a big fat no" and tells him she "wants him all to herself". Levi, already upset with her, tells her he is going on a date whether she likes it or not, moving Amy closer to Ned. Levi meets Felicity Higgins (Isabella Giovinazzo) and goes on a date with her, where the two get along very well. Giovinazzo elaborated on Levi and Felicity's dates, "Their dates are really fun. They keep meeting in the same place and they talk for hours, laughing and teasing each other. Then later on, a little bit more sexual tension starts to develop, but it's something that is discovered. It's not there initially. I don't know if Levi used to have that in his relationship with Amy, but because of the tension of the polyamorous relationship, it's dissipating a bit so he finds that in Felicity instead. Then, as they start to get to know each other, it becomes more than that." Giovinazzo said that Felicity isn't initially aware of Levi's polyamory.
Giovinazzo also explained, "He keeps Amy a total secret. Then Felicity messages Levi post-date because it went well, but she doesn't receive a reply. Levi passes it off as losing his phone, but in actuality, Amy took it and threw it in a lake! So there's a bit of confusion there. Things like that continue to happen, as Amy is not frustrated or jealous, but she doesn't know what to do with Felicity or how to fit her into their existing dynamic." She found it "really interesting how Amy tried to be open-minded and fair – if she has two boyfriends, shouldn't Levi have two girlfriends? But it's not what Amy wants and in the end she has to be honest about that. It was really cool to see Jacinta Stapleton work through that and the level of truth, reality and respect she gave to this storyline." Giovinazzo told Kilkelly about Levi's and Felicity's upcoming relationship and said, "There are so many bumps in the road and occasions where Levi has hidden something from Felicity. Felicity tries to understand the polyamorous relationship because she's really into Levi. There are many moments where some new piece of information is revealed, or Amy does something that is weird and uncomfortable or inappropriate! Felicity could walk away at a few points but she doesn't. I think she gets pushed beyond her comfort zone and who she really is, because she's so interested in Levi. It's been a while since she met someone like him, who she gets along with so naturally. So Felicity ends up doing some things that aren't in her nature and probably aren't a great way to begin a relationship, to try and keep him. It's heartbreaking for her because she doesn't want to be that person."
Felicity explains that she is not interested in polyamory and Ned attempts to get Felicity to "give Levi another chance" in order to get Levi to end his relationship with Amy. Felicity and Ned soon team up to break Levi and Amy up, but when the latter finds out, they are "furious". Levi breaks up with Felicity and tries to mend his connection with Amy. To the disappointment of Ned, the three of them agree to go to the Erinsborough Police Ball together, where one of Levi's co-workers makes an "out-of-line" comment about their polyamory. A confrontation breaks out and Levi and Ned are kicked out of the ball and Levi remains angry at Ned for escalating the situation. Ned attempts to get Amy to break up with Levi, but she does not and her relationship with Levi hangs delicately. When Amy has a dream about a threesome, they decide to have one and are interrupted by Amy's daughter, Zara Selwyn (Freya Van Dyke), who expresses her "disapproval". Amy lies to her daughter about her polyamory and Levi decides to break up with Amy after she asks for some space.
Relationship with Freya Wozniak
As part of the introduction of Freya Wozniak (Pheobe Roberts), Levi meets her when she tries to steal a red scarf from a crime scene. Freya soon explains that she is searching for her missing cousin and Levi befriends her. Levi takes Freya on a joyride in his police car and when he gets out to pick up their lunch, she turns on the in-car computer and looks up the last address of Gareth Bateman (Jack Pearson), who she claims is her cousin, but Roxy spots her and confronts her. Lee announced that Levi would "be heartbroken once again." Roxy breaks into Freya's house to see what she is up to and Freya threatens her with a knife, so Roxy tells Levi, who in return "offers support" to Freya. Freya then reveals the truth that Gareth is actually her boyfriend, who was involved in a police corruption incident, and Lee explained that Freya would admit to "manipulating and stringing Levi along from the start." Levi, who had developed feelings for Freya, tries to move on but eventually finds himself helping Freya's search for Gareth. Roberts told Digital Spy that Freya "reveals to Levi that she already has a boyfriend – Gareth – who's gone missing. She came to Erinsborough to find him. Levi then has to deal with what this means, because this girl has been lying to him for weeks."
Roberts teased, "Freya decided that she could use his connections to the police to her advantage. She'd been worried that all cops were bad and corrupt, but then she met this beam of light that is Levi and realised how hard it is to lie to someone who's so divine. By this point, Freya absolutely has genuine feelings for Levi. She knows him, she's met his family and she's part of his life. To lie to him completely eats at her. She might not admit it to herself yet, but deep down absolutely she does feel something for Levi. Levi is very betrayed by her confession and he storms off on her. Freya tries to apologise, and he won't even hear it. But Levi is also very concerned that she's going to do something stupid now she's in this by herself. He's worried and thinks it's his responsibility to make sure Freya is okay. Even if he doesn't know it yet, he's in love." When Gareth is found, he claims that Freya is obsessive, controlling and her story has no truth, leaving Levi "shocked". Later that month, Levi and Freya both join their friends on a holiday to River Bend Getaway, where Freya admits that she has feelings for Levi and asks him why he is ignoring her. Levi explains Gareth's allegations and Freya becomes "devastated", however Gareth, who has followed the Erinsborough residents to River Bend, makes "a surprise appearance". Levi wrestles Gareth to the ground, disarming him, but as Levi tries to run off, Gareth picks up his gun and shoots Levi in the arm. Gareth dies from mistreated wounds after Freya and David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) refuse to save him and Levi recovers, however puts some distance between himself and Freya. With help from Freya's housemates, she and Levi finally reveal their true feelings and kiss, before going on a remote picnic. Joe Julians of Digital Spy announced that they would "head into some bushes to relieve the months of sexual tension between them", however would return to find their clothes have been stolen. Morris later laughed at the fact that Levi had been in love with multiple women during his two-year stint in the show. When Sheila and Kyle move out, Levi moves in with Susan (Jackie Woodburne) and Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher). Levi and Freya make a new Ramsay Street history book and surprise Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) with it. Morris' final appearance is in the show's final episode, when Levi attends Toadie and Melanie Pearson's (Lucinda Cowden) wedding and parties with Freya at their reception on Ramsay Street.
Reception
Colette Mann said of Morris' acting, "Richie is a terrific young man who came into the show as a serious young actor, but Chris Milligan and I have beaten him into a Canning with a great sense of humour about himself and as loud as the rest of us." A writer from 10Play advertised the new character by saying, "Move over Mark Brennan, there's a new hot cop in town! One of Neighbours most eccentric and colourful dynasties, the Canning family, is expanding their brood as another grandson joins the family." Following Freya's betrayal, Lee wrote, "Levi struggles to get over what happened, and with all of his recent failed relationships including with Bea Nilsson, Amy Greenwood, and Felicity Higgins, he begins to wonder if he'll ever be lucky in love." An online poll run by Back to the Bay in December 2021 found Levi to be the 24th most popular character in Neighbours. The outlet wrote that Levi's arrival "gave Sheila a purpose after Kyle told her to back off." They also noted, "Levi recently embarked on a polyamorous relationship with Amy, and has had to deal with judgement from Sheila, his mother and his colleagues – but, so far, his feelings for Amy have won out. Considering it’s about the only story he’s had since arriving (well, except for finding out who bashed him, and building a billy cart for his now ex-lover Bea), it’s a breath of fresh air to see him in the relationship everyone is talking about..." Morris' co-star called Levi a "beam of light" and "divine". Sharon Johal, who played Dipi Rebecchi, said of Morris' casting, "I love Richie, and I love that he’s joined the cast. Of course, nobody wants to be defined by their race, heritage or look, but it is important for culturally diverse people to be represented and visible on screen. So I applaud Neighbours again for making an active choice to cast him, if that was a consideration. Cultural heritage and significance is important in Australian storytelling, and it is such a large part of our communities as we stand. Unfortunately (or fortunately) until it is 'normalised', every diverse casting in Australia is a step forward." Johal went on to say that Morris "enriches Ramsay Street" regardless.

Ciaran Patrick O'Brien (born November 17, 1987) is an American former soccer coach and player.
Early life and education
O'Brien played center midfield for four years at Decatur High School in Federal Way, Washington, where he earned NSCAA All-American honors, was a First Team All-South Puget Sound League selection for four straight years, and was selected as the Washington State Gatorade Player of the Year after his senior season.
O'Brien initially played college soccer for the University of San Diego, where he was a NSCAA Freshman All-American and was named to the All-WCC Second Team, before transferring to UC Santa Barbara in his sophomore year. With the UCSB Gauchos, he made the 2007 NCAA Tournament, losing out to national finalists Ohio State. He was named the 2007 Big West Midfielder of the Year with UCSB, as well as the highest scoring player in the Big West with 25 points on seven goals and 11 assists. During his college years O'Brien also played for Tacoma Tide of the USL Premier Development League, where his father was head coach.
Playing career
O'Brien left UC Santa Barbara early and signed a Generation Adidas contract. He was the 5th overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, selected by the Colorado Rapids. He made his Major League Soccer debut as a substitute in the 71st minute in Colorado's first match of the 2008 season against Los Angeles Galaxy on March 29, 2008, but was sent off in the 90th minute for a tackle on Carlos Ruiz. The tackle tore the meniscus in Ruiz's right knee leaving him out for an extended period. It was the only MLS game of O'Brien's career.
O'Brien was sent on loan to USL First Division side, Seattle Sounders, in August 2008 to gain first team experience. With the Sounders, O'Brien appeared in 5 league games (309 minutes total) tallying 2 assists. He also appeared in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game. However, O'Brien was soon recalled and was back with Colorado at the end of August.
In June 2009, O'Brien made a season long loan to USL-1 side Austin Aztex. In July 2009, he was signed on a loan from Colorado Rapids by Impact de Montréal until the end if the 2009 USL season.
During summer 2010, O'Brien trialed with League of Ireland Premier Division side Sporting Fingal but a loan deal with Colorado could not be agreed.
O'Brien graduated from the MLS Generation Adidas program on November 18, 2010. O'Brien became a MLS free agent when Colorado declined his 2011 contract option and he was not selected in the 2010 MLS Re-Entry Draft.
O'Brien signed with North American Soccer League club Atlanta Silverbacks on March 21, 2011. O'Brien won his first league honors on July 11, 2011, winning the NASL Offensive Player of the Week. Atlanta announced on November 8, 2011 that O'Brien would return for the 2012 season.
On February 21, 2013, it was announced that O'Brien had signed with Carolina RailHawks for the 2013 season.
Coaching career
O'Brien was named as an assistant coach of the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer team in August 2015.
Personal life
O'Brien is the son of former Republic of Ireland international player Fran O'Brien, and the brother of fellow professional soccer player Leighton O'Brien.

The post-presidency of George Washington began on March 4, 1797. The first U.S. president under the U.S. Constitution, Washington had served two consecutive terms in office. He returned to his beloved home, Mount Vernon, on March 15. Immediately, he began months of repair because of neglect and mismanagement. In time, he was able to restore the Mount Vernon mansion house. The salvaging of his farms proved to be problematic. Throughout his retirement, Washington entertained local friends, former official associates, and strangers who wished to converse and see the first president, the Revolutionary War hero, and founder of the nation.
Washington followed closely affairs of state, including the growing tension between France and the United States, which, by the spring of 1798, had developed into the Quasi-War. Attacked politically by anti-Federalists, Washington was careful to preserve his personal legacy. He was appointed by his successor as president, John Adams, on July 2, 1798, as Lieutenant General and Commander of America's newly-augmented army. Washington insisted for active command to be vested in Alexander Hamilton, whom Adams appointed Major General and Inspector of the Armies. Washington performed his duties, but Adams was jealous of Hamilton and was a proponent of naval power. Adams, however, was able through diplomacy to end the Quasi-War.
In the summer of 1799, Washington drafted a new will that left most of his estate to his wife, Martha. Unexpectedly, he set free all of the slaves that he owned outright, a legal order to be fulfilled after his wife's death. Washington's will was meant to be an act of atonement for a lifetime spent in human exploitation, and he hoped it would serve as an example to other slaveholders and hasten the end of American slavery. His post-presidency lasted less than three years until his sudden illness and death, which were caused by a severe throat infection, in December 1799. Washington had planned a library to preserve his war and presidential papers, but he died before it could be built. In January 1801, Martha freed his slaves.
The Washington Monument was completed in 1885. Mount Rushmore, completed in 1941, has a gigantic Washington stone portrait sculpture to honor his presidency. In 2013, the Washington presidential library was completed and opened to the public.
Background
George Washington, the first president elected under the U.S. Constitution, was born on February 22, 1732, in the Colony of Virginia. Washington served in the Virginia militia, was appointed Lieutenant Colonel and was British General Edward Braddock's aide-de-camp during the French and Indian War. In 1759, he married the wealthy widow Martha Custis, and they established their home at Mount Vernon. From 1759 to 1774, Washington served in the Virginia House of Burgesses and was considered a "cautious and prudent Virginia aristocrat."
From 1775 to 1783, Washington was the commander of the Continental army during the American Revolutionary War. After the war, British King George III granted America independence from Britain under the Treaty of Paris. Washington retired from the military and took up farming again at Mount Vernon as a celebrated war hero. Washington was elected President of the United States in 1789 and served for two consecutive terms of office after being re-elected in 1792. John Adams was elected to office in 1796 and succeeded Washington in 1797.
When Washington left office in 1797, the nation was divided into a two-party system, the Republicans and the Federalists, the latter of which dominated the U.S. Congress. The dispute with France over Washington's alliance with Great Britain in the Jay Treaty had not been settled, and the country was on the verge of the Quasi-War. Except for strong political criticism from the Republicans, the public figure of Washington was a legend as a general and the first president. Washington attended Adams's presidential inauguration on March 4, 1797, in Philadelphia and read aloud his final brief "farewell address." He was eager to return to his beloved home of Mount Vernon after he had served two consecutive terms of office. Before his departure, Washington sold and gave away his belongings, including a writing desk that contained love letters from his wife, Martha.
Although no one dared to challenge Washington for the presidency, his reputation, during the second half of this second term in office was under scrutiny of the Republican Party, which had been founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Although Washington was neutral politically, his core beliefs sided mainly with the Federalist Party. On July 30, 1796, the Aurora, an anti-Federalist newspaper, published Thomas Paine's open letter to Washington. Paine, who had been imprisoned in France, said of Washington that "the world will be puzzled to decide whether you are an apostate or an impostor; whether you have abandoned good principles, or whether you ever had any." Pro-French Republican editorials accused Washington of being a "tyrannical monster," and his lauded Farewell Address was castigated "the loathings of a sick mind." Washington, however, was determined to defend his reputation.
Return to Mount Vernon
Washington departed Philadelphia for Mount Vernon on March 9, 1797, and he traveled with Martha, his granddaughter Nelly, and George Washington Lafayette. The party arrived at Mount Vernon "six days" later, having made a few stops along the way, as Washington was a celebrated hero. In April, he opined in a letter that he was "once more seated under my own vine and fig tree" and hoped "to spend the remainder of my days."
Washington was so intent on staying within 25 miles of Mount Vernon that he declined to attend the wedding of his nephew Lawrence Augustine Washington.
Washington's sister, Betty Lewis, died, and Washington was survived only by his younger brother Charles, the last of their generation of the Washington family. The death of Betty caused Washington "inexpressible concern."
Washington sent much of his vast collection of paper archives on the Revolutionary War and his presidency to Mount Vernon. He had a letterpress delivered to make copies of his papers. The archives originally contained "30 to 40 cases" of military expeditions, journals, and Congressional correspondence. Washington originally planned to build a library house at Mount Vernon and had ordered bookcases for his collections. However, his death prevented the building of the library. Washington's collections and the planned library would be a precursor for the modern presidential library system adopted in the 20th century by Congress.
Renovations
Upon his return, Washington found his five farms and buildings at Mount Vernon were in ruins. He diligently put to work carpenters, masons, and painters to fix the buildings and the mansion house while he made efforts to rehabilitate his farmlands. Washington enjoyed what he called "the Music of hammers, or the odiferous smell of Paint." The army of workers under Washington's command created large dust clouds over his lands. Washington believed the enormous cost of the renovations was the equivalent of "an entire new establishment."
Possible daily schedule
Washington would wake promptly at 5 a.m., wake his hirelings, and give them their assignments for the day. Washington chastised those of "their indisposition" who did not show up for work. At 7:00, Washington ate a meal of cornbread, butter, and honey that was easy to eat and reduced the pain that he suffered from ill-fitting dentures and swollen gums. Afterward, Washington mounted his horse and supervised his farms for six hours. He tended to his new distillery and ordered ditches to be widened.
In one instance, he monitored the health of a slave who had been bitten by a crazed dog. Washington forbade the poaching of deer on his lands. At 2:00 p.m., Washington returned to the mansion house and dined with guests at 3:00. After the meal, Washington showed his medals; prints of war battles by John Trumbull; and a key of the Bastille, a relic of the French Revolution that had been given to him by Lafayette. At the time, Washington was considered a "living legend," and many strangers visited Mount Vernon to see Washington in person.
Republican and Federalist feud
After Washington's presidency, the feud between Republicans and Federalists became toxic and inadvertently drew the former president into the foray. In March 1798, James Monroe, a Republican and former Minister to France who had been appointed by Washington, published an address that was critical of Washington's recall of him from office in an attempt to cover up his own insubordination. Monroe's denouncement of the Jay Treaty was a direct attack on Washington, who was furious after he read Monroe's pamphlet. He went to his study and responded by writing a line-by-line sarcastic and bitter critique of Monroe's tirade.
Washington had also been informed of a bizarre plot invented by Thomas Jefferson's nephew, Peter Carr, a Republican agitator. On September 25, 1797, Carr sent a letter to Washington, under the pseudonym John Langhorne, to entice him to attack Republicans, which would be circulated in the Republican press. Washington did not respond, and the plot was thwarted. Washington, however, took things further and blamed the plot on Jefferson. His relationship with the fellow Virginian Jefferson disintegrated. In March 1798, Washington agreed with a negative assessment that Jefferson was "one of the most artful, intriguing, industrious and double-faced politicians in America."
Washington went on the offensive. While visiting the Federal City, Washington publicly denounced the French Revolution. Washington through his letters described an overall conspiracy, beyond the pro-French Republicans, that was designed to overthrow the government. He wrote to Lafayette that "a party exists in the United States, formed by a combination of causes, who oppose the government in all its measures, and are determined (as all their conduct evinces) by clogging its wheels, indirectly to change the nature of it, and to subvert the Constitution." Washington also foolhardily endorsed John Adams's Federalist Alien and Sedition Acts, which were passed by Congress to quell the incendiary Republicans. Washington was also vindicated in the aftermath of a French bribery scandal, the XYZ Affair. The result was a public backlash against the Republicans' support of the French government.
Quasi-War
When Washington began his presidency in April 1789, France had been a strong ally with the United States, and Louis XVI had strongly supported financially and militarily American independence from Britain during the American Revolutionary War. Six days into his first term, the French Revolution plunged Europe into war, between France and Britain, and President Washington and his administration chose to remain neutral. On January 21, 1793, Louis XVI was executed by guillotine. Matters became more complicated when Washington signed the Jay Treaty in 1794 during his second term, which formalised commercial and diplomatic reproachment with Britain. In 1795, the French started to respond by capturing over 2,000 American merchant ships, and the American navy retaliated, attacked, and captured French naval ships. The French revolutionary wars continued after Washington's presidency.
Upon assuming office, President Adams had to repair the damage caused by Washington's "shattered neutrality policy." Preparation for war between the United States and France took place in 1798 after the XYZ Affair. Unable to remain neutral, Adams had to respond to French belligerency on the high seas that culminated in what was called the Quasi-War. On July 2, 1798, Adams appointed Washington to Lieutenant General and Commander of the Provisional American Army, but controversy ensued in choosing Washington's subordinate generals. On July 11, 1798, Secretary of State James McHenry, who personally traveled to Mount Vernon, presented Washington with a letter and commission from Adams, which had been approved by Congress. Washington accepted the commission but demanded not to actively serve unless the French invaded the United States. A terrible controversy ensued over Washington's suggested appointments for his subordinate generals. Adams, who both respected and was jealous of Washington's military prowess, reluctantly agreed.
Washington chose his former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, who was recommended to Adams by Washington to be appointed Major General and Inspector General of the Army, and Henry Knox and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney were to serve as major generals. Knox, who desired Hamilton's position, protested to Adams, who contemplated the change. When McHenry and Adams's Secretary of the Treasury Oliver Wolcott Jr. protested Knox as second in command, Adams demurred to Washington and appointed Hamilton, instead of Knox, who refused to take his commission as a major general. Washington remained at Mount Vernon while Adams started negotiations with France. Although Washington would not live to the war's end, the crisis was resolved in 1800 through Adams's diplomacy.
Emancipation
Since the Revolutionary War, Washington was troubled by slavery and had for some time been contemplating freeing his slaves and reducing the size of his plantation. Washington knew that posterity or future generations would judge him harshly for his ownership of slaves. He initially planned to sell lands, free his slaves, and use the money from the sale of lands to support his slaves, but he could not find any buyers.
During the summer of 1799, Washington made a new will, that stipulated all of the 124 slaves he owned outright would be freed after the death of his wife, Martha. Washington was concerned over the effects of splitting slave families and on Martha's financial status and so he delayed his slaves' freedom. Both the young and old would be cared for. The young freedmen would be brought up in a trade, and the elder freedmen would live off an annuity provided by Washington's estate.
Washington was well aware of how divisive abolition would be in slaveholding Virginia and so he demanded that his slaves would not be sold or forced to leave Virginia after their freedom. In that sense, Washington's intention may have been for blacks and whites to live together in Virginia as equal citizens, rather than be deported to Africa or recolonized. Washington's elderly valet-shoemaker slave William Lee was freed outright for his "faithful services during the Revolutionary War." Washington gave Lee a $30 annuity.
The historian John Ferling believed that Washington's will was an act of atonement for the life he spent in human exploitation. Additionally, Washington hoped that his example would lead other slaveowners to take a similar step. After Washington's death, Martha feared that his slaves were planning to kill her to obtain their freedom since his will stipulated their freedom was contingent upon her death. To prevent that, although it was unlikely that his slaves would have killed her, Martha manumitted all of Washington's slaves on January 1, 1801. Washington and Martha could not free any of the Custis slaves by law. They would be reverted to the Custis estate upon Martha's death, and divided among her grandchildren. Washington's will and the manumission (freedom) of his slaves had a reverse effect on Virginia society, which in 1806 passed more restrictive measures for slaveowners to free their slaves.
Sudden sickness and death
On December 12, 1799, a severe storm passed over Mount Vernon and the surrounding region that deposited heavy snow, sleet, and hail. Washington was not dismayed and continued his rigorous routine of riding for five hours and making rounds at Mount Vernon. When he returned to the mansion, he refused to change his wet clothes out of courtesy so that he could dine with his guests. On December 13, Washington had a hoarse throat but continued to work outside in the cold weather to mark trees for pruning. Although he knew that he had a cold, he refused to get treatment. He told himself, "Let it go as it came."
The following day, at 3:00 a.m. on December 14, Washington woke up and was acutely ill, with his speaking voice barely audible, and he had extreme difficulty breathing. Dr. James Craik, Washington's personal physician, and two other doctors, Dr. Gustavus Richard Brown and Dr. Elisha C. Dick, were called to Mount Vernon. Washington's condition rapidly worsened while his doctors purged or bled him and administered various standard medical procedures of the time, all of which had no positive effect to help their dying patient. Dick was strongly against Washington's fourth and final purge because it would seriously weaken Washington, whose skin color had turned blue, a condition of oxygen deprivation. Seeing the gravity of the situation, Dick, the youngest of the three consulting doctors, recommended a tracheotomy to allow air into Washington's lungs and save the patient's life, but the two senior physicians refused to have the fairly-new surgical procedure performed. Towards midnight, unable to breathe, Washington died. Both senior physicians diagnosed Washington's fatal illness as quinsey or cynanche tracheal, but Dick thought that the condition was a more serious "violent inflammation of the throat." More recent scholarship has concluded that Washington most probably died of acute bacterial epiglottitis.
Funeral and entombment
Following the instructions in his will, Washington's military funeral took place on December 18, 1799, at Mount Vernon. It was restricted to family, friends, and associates, rather than a grandiose state funeral. The funeral started at 3:00 p.m., when a schooner moored in the Potomac began firing its guns every minute. Inscriptions on the silver plate of Washington's coffin included "Surge Ad Judicium", meaning "Rise to Judgment", and "Gloria Deo," meaning "Glory to God". Military officers and fellow masons served as pallbearers. A musical band from Alexandria played a funeral dirge. A Masonic apron and Washington's sword adorned his coffin, and his trusted horse was led by two slaves in black attire as it passed in front of his body.
Dick attended the funeral and was in charge of directing all of the Masonic rituals. Mount Vernon has since become a patriotic destination for the American public to pay tribute to George Washington, for his contributions as the first President under the Constitution, and for his leadership as Commanding General during the American Revolutionary War. Washington's body was interred inside his communal family vault in an overgrown hillside, under a knoll of trees, mixed in with other coffins, and Washington had left instructions for a new brick vault. Early visitors of his vault complained of the poor conditions and neglect.
Philadelphia memorial service
On December 19, 1799, U.S. Representative John Marshall formally announced to the House of Representatives that Washington had died at Mount Vernon. On December 23, Marshall spoke before Congress and initiated a process that would become the groundworks for an organized federal-state funeral. Congress proposed a marble memorial for Washington in the Federal City, and organized a funeral procession in honor of Washington in Philadelphia. A week later, the procession was led by a trumpeter and started from Congressional Hall, leading through the streets of Philadelphia and ending at a German Lutheran Church. At the church, General Henry Lee gave a memorial speech. Lee famously said that Washington was "[f]irst in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Congress, however, later dominated by U.S. President Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic Republicans, failed to go through on its pledge to fund and create the marble memorial. To honor Washington, the Federal City would soon bear his name, Washington, D.C.
Aftermath
After his death, Washington was mourned by the nation and eulogized as the "man who unites all hearts." Washington was viewed as a general and statesman who united Patriots during the Revolutionary War and held the nation together during his presidency. He was considered above all an "American", rather than a southerner or northerner.
According to historian T.H. Breen, Washington "enhanced the legitimacy" of the U.S. Constitution. Breen said Washington "brought immense political capital to the presidency. He may have been the most charismatic person ever to hold the office. Everything about the man --- his behavior, dress, and pronouncements, even his coach --- became emblematic of the new constitutional order. In a profound symbolic sense, he was the new nation."
On December 6, 1884, the Washington Monument to honor George Washington was completed and was dedicated on February 21, 1885. In October 1941 the Mount Rushmore monument was completed that honored Washington first among three other presidents.
Presidential library
During the post-World War II patriotic-era of the 20th Century, Congress became concerned over the preservation of Presidential history and documents. The Presidential Libraries Act (1955) established presidential libraries for Presidents to be privately constructed and federally maintained. The Presidential Records Act (1978) established that document records of Presidents are the property of the United States. The Presidential Libraries Act (1986) required that private endowments be linked to the Presidential Libraries and to help pay the maintenance costs.
In 1986, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association (MVLA), sought to educate the world of Washington's importance and life history. In 2010, MVLA planned the building of Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, to further the appreciation of Washington. The groundbreaking for the Library was in April 2011. The Library was completed and opened on September 27, 2013, to the public. The Library facility is 45,000 square feet and contains Washington's books, manuscripts, newspapers, and documents and also is a scholarly retreat and place of education.

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) represent a specialised cell type located inside joints in the synovium. These cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes in normal tissues
The inner lining of the joint consists of the synovium (also called the synovial membrane), a thin layer located between the joint capsule and the joint cavity. The word "synovium" is derived from the word "synovia" (or synovial fluid), which is a clear, viscous fluid produced by the synovium, and its main purpose is to reduce friction between the joint cartilages during movement. Synovium is also important to maintain proper joint function by providing the structural support and supply of the necessary nutrients to the surrounding cartilage. Synovial membrane is divided into two compartments – the outer layer (subintima) and the inner layer (intima). The inner layer is mainly composed of two cell types, specialized macrophages (macrophage-like synovial cells) and fibroblast-like synoviocytes, which are important in maintaining the internal joint homeostasis. These cells represent the main source of hyaluronic acid and also other glycoproteins, major components of the synovial fluid.
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes are cells of mesenchymal origin that display many characteristics common with fibroblasts, such as expression of several types of collagens and protein vimentin, a part of cytoskeletal filaments. Unlike fibroblasts, fibroblast-like synoviocytes also secrete unique proteins, that are normally absent in other fibroblast lineages. These include especially lubricin, a protein crucial for the joint lubrication. Furthermore these cells express a number of molecules important for the mediation of the cell adhesion, such as cadherin-11, VCAM-1, various integrins and their receptors. Specific for fibroblast-like synoviocytes is also the expression of CD55; this protein is often used to identify this cell type in the synovium by immunohistochemistry.
The role of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis
Synovial hyperplasia (an increase in cell number) is a typical feature of the autoimmune disease called rheumatoid arthritis (RA). During the progression of this disease the synovial membrane becomes a place where constant inflammatory processes take place, which can eventually lead to cartilage damage and joint destruction and deformation. Due to the changes in proliferative and apoptotic processes the total number of cells increases in the synovium, and significantly increases also the number of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). These cells, together with other immune cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes, neutrophils, mast cells, dendritic cells and platelets, create an inflammatory environment in the synovium, attract more immune cells to the damaged place and thus contribute to the joint destruction.
FLS that are present in the synovium during RA display altered phenotype compared to the cells present in normal tissues. They lose the property called contact inhibition (cells arrest their growth in the case when more cells come into contact with each other), and they also lose the growth dependency on adhesive surfaces; both these phenomena contribute to the increase in the number of FLS in the inflammatory tissue and are also typical for example for the growth of cancerous cells. In addition, these cells can produce a number of pro-inflammatory signalling molecules, especially Il-6 and IL-8, prostanoids and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which may directly affect other cells and also participate in the inflammation enhancement. These processes are influenced by microvesicles derived from platelets, which can contribute to the activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes through secretion of IL-1.
The aggressive phenotype of FLS in RA and the effect these cells have on their microenvironment can be summarized into hallmarks that distinguish them from healthy FLS. These hallmark features of FLS in RA are divided into 7 cell-intrinsic hallmarks and 4 cell-extrinsic hallmarks. The cell-intrinsic hallmarks are: reduced apoptosis, impaired contact inhibition, increased migratory invasive potential, changed epigenetic landscape, temporal and spatial heterogeneity, genomic instability and mutations, and reprogrammed cellular metabolism. The cell-extrinsic hallmarks of FLS in RA are: promotes osteoclastogenesis and bone erosion, contributes to cartilage degradation, induces synovial angiogenesis, and recruits and stimulates immune cells.

This is a list of countries by external debt: it is the total public and private debt owed to nonresidents repayable in internationally accepted currencies, goods or services, where the public debt is the money or credit owed by any level of government, from central to local, and the private debt the money or credit owed by private households or private corporations based on the country under consideration.
For information purposes, several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list.
Note that while a country may have a relatively large external debt (either in absolute or per capita terms) it could actually be a "net international creditor" if its external debt is less than the total of external debt of other countries held by it.

George Washington Carroll (April 11, 1855 – December 14, 1935) was an American politician and businessman. During the 1904 presidential election he was given the vice presidential nomination of the Prohibition Party and ran alongside Silas C. Swallow.
Life
George Washington Carroll was born on April 11, 1855, to Francis Lafayette Carroll and Sarah Long in Mansfield, Louisiana. In 1868, his family moved to Beaumont, Texas where his father created the Long Shingle and Saw Mill and later moved to Waco, Texas in 1887. On November 20, 1877, he married Underhill Mixson which was the first church wedding conducted in Beaumont and later had three children with her.
He worked as a foreman at his father's company and in 1877, his father, John Gilbert, and him created the Beaumont Lumber Company and by 1892 he had risen to become president and general manager of the company. In 1900, they sold the company to John Henry Kirby. In 1892, he invested $1,000 into Pattillo Higgins's Gladys City Oil Company and was elected as its president due to him being the only investor to give capital instead of land. Carroll became rich after the company discovered oil at Spindletop. In 1901, he and his father both gave Baylor University $75,000.
On December 14, 1935, Carroll died from pneumonia in a YMCA building that he had helped to create in the 1920s.

(formerly Kaufman & Broad), and the TCW Group. He co-founded Oaktree Capital Management in 1995, later becoming the firm's Co-Chairman and CIO. As of August 2020, according to Forbes magazine, he has a net worth of $2.1 billion, ranking him No. 391 on the Forbes 400.
Early life and education
Bruce A. Karsh was born in 1955 to a Jewish family, the son of David H. Karsh, and Roberta “Bobby” Karsh. In 1974, he graduated from Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis. In 1977, Karsh earned an A.B. degree in economics from Duke University where he graduated summa cum laude and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1980 he earned a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he received the academic award Order of the Coif. While at the University of Virginia he served as notes editor for the Virginia Law Review.
Career
Early years (1980-1995)
Following law school Karsh served as an appellate clerk to former Supreme Court of the United States justice Anthony M. Kennedy. He went on to work as an attorney with the law firm O'Melveny & Myers, then served as an assistant to billionaire Eli Broad, who was then the chairman of Sun Life Insurance Company and SunAmerica.
In 1987, Broad's insurance company became a client of TCW Group. Shortly thereafter, Karsh was hired by Howard Marks to manage distressed debt at TCW. TCW's first distressed debt fund was started in 1988. Karsh served as Managing Director of TCW and managed the Special Credits Funds there.
Oaktree (1995-present)
In April 1995, Karsh, Howard Marks, and three other employees at TCW left their firm to found Oaktree Capital Management. Karsh became a portfolio manager for Oaktree's Distressed Opportunities and Value Opportunities strategies and Chief Investment Officer for the firm.
According to Ken Moelis, the CEO of Moelis & Company, Howard Marks is the public face of Oaktree while Karsh is the "'quiet secret' behind the scenes." Moelis has said that “If you say the name Bruce, people know you’re talking about Bruce Springsteen. There’s one Bruce in music and one Bruce in distressed. He’s just a solid guy who does his homework and thinks through timing.”
Honors
Karsh (along with Howard Marks) received the Money Manager of the Year award at Institutional Investor’s US Investment Management Awards in 2015. Along with his wife, Karsh received KIPP’s Giving Tree Award in 2015. He was awarded the Duke University Medal in 2016.
Philanthropy
In 1998, Karsh and his wife started the Karsh Family Foundation, a charitable organization that has donated or committed over $200 million for education and scholarships across all levels. Among their recipients have been Teach for America and KIPP. Karsh is the co-founder of The Painted Turtle, a non-profit organization that operates a camp for children with life-threatening diseases in Los Angeles.
The Karshes have given over $100 million to Duke University, almost all of which went to undergraduate financial aid. This included $12 million in 2005, $20 million in 2008, and $50 million in 2011 ($30 million for U.S. students and $20 million for international students). In 2016, The Office of Undergraduate Financial Support was named after the Karsh Family. The Karsh Alumni and Visitors Center is expected to be completed in 2019.
Karsh joined the Board of Directors for Duke University’s investment management company (DUMAC) in 2002, and in July 2005 was appointed Chairman. He served on the Duke University Board of Trustees from 2003 to 2015 and is now Trustee Emeritus.
Karsh and his family funded The Karsh Family Social Service Center at Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles, where they are members. The Karsh Center includes a food pantry and free or low-cost dental and eye care, legal aid, and mental health services for low-income clients.
Bruce and Martha Karsh donated $43.9 million to the University of Virginia School of Law in 2018, the largest gift in school history; the money will be focused on student scholarships and the founding of the Karsh Center for Law and Democracy. They had made previous donations to the law school, including a renovation project to create the Karsh Student Services Center, which opened in 2012.
In January 2020, the couple donated $10 million to Howard University (the largest gift in the university's history) for Howard's Bison STEM Scholars Program, which was renamed Karsh STEM scholars program.
In July 2020, Bruce and Martha Karsh, through their Karsh Family Foundation, supported $25 million to fund digestive and liver disease study and care. In appreciation of the donation, the present Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases is called the Karsh Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. The pair give to a number of organizations and featured on the 2011 Chronicle 's annual Philanthropy 50 list on the biggest contributors, when they gave Duke University $50 million for scholarships.
Personal life
Karsh is married to Martha Karsh, an attorney and co-founder of Clark & Karsh, an architecture firm. They live in Beverly Hills, California, and have three children, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson.

Lone Elk Park is a county park in the U.S. state of Missouri consisting of located in St. Louis County west of the town of Valley Park. The park is located adjacent to Interstate 44, the World Bird Sanctuary, Castlewood State Park, and Tyson Research Center.
Lone Elk Park was originally part of the Tyson Valley Powder Plant during World War II. After the war the area became a county park and herds of elk and bison were established in 1948. The land was reacquired by the federal government during the Korean War, and the wildlife herds were destroyed for safety reasons in 1958, but one lone bull elk survived. In 1964 St. Louis County acquired for Tyson County Park, which became Lone Elk Park in 1966. The park officially opened on October 17, 1971, and six bison were acquired from the St. Louis Zoo in July 1973.
There are driving routes that provide views of the elk and bison, often at close proximity. The park is also home to many deer, wild turkey and waterfowl.
Domestic animals are not permitted whatsoever, even if confined to a vehicle.
Research was conducted in 2016 to determine if a sinkhole was under the lake. The boat dock has been removed. Fishing was closed in 2017 in an effort to rebuild the fish population.

Pulls Ferry is a former ferry house located on the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk. It is a flint building and was once a 15th-century watergate. It was the route for the stone used to build Norwich Cathedral. The stone came from Caen up the rivers Yare and Wensum. A canal, specifically built by the monks, used to run under the arch, where the Normans ferried the stone and building materials to be unloaded on the spot.
The building is named after John Pull, who ran the ferry across the Wensum from 1796 to 1841. It was previously known as Sandling's, after a seventeenth-century predecessor. The ferry operated until 1943.
The ferry house adjoining the watergate was built in 1647. Both house and archway were restored in 1948-9 by Cecil Upcher.

Karai or Qarā Tātār is a Turkic tribe found in Khorasan, Azerbaijan, Kerman, and Fars.
Etymology
According to Vladimir Minorsky, the name Karāʾi may have been rooted in the Keraites, a Mongol tribe, while according to Gyula Németh, the tribe's name might have originated from other ethnic groups in Central Asia.
Since "Black" (qara) is a Turkic designation for "north" it was a frequently used tribal identifier among the early Turkic peoples, and there are numerous Kipchak groups known by this adjective. The earliest mention of these, not necessarily related, are the "Black Tatars" (), a subdivision of the Rouran Khaganate in Tang sources. Meanwhile, at the western end of the steppe more "black Tatars" were the Tatar troops serving the First Bulgarian Empire
History
Qarā Tātārs were recorded as a Mongol tribe of 30–40,000 nomad families dwelling near Amasya and Kayseri in Anatolia at the time of Timur's conquests. Upon a suggestion by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and to refill the depopulated extremities of his empire, Timur deported these tribes back to Central Asia, specifically Khwarazm and an island in Issyk-Kul that later ceased to exist. Many of the tribesmen tried to escape from the forced migration, and although many were captured, some tribesmen still remained in Anatolia. A portion of the tribe that was previously deported managed to escape to the Golden Horde, and some additionally returned to Anatolia following Timur's demise. In 1419, groups from the tribe were deported by the Ottomans to the Balkans, settling near Pazardzhik in modern-day Bulgaria.
At the start of the Qajar dynasty, Qarai Turks were also scattered beyond southern Khorasan through the desert zone of Sistan. Malcolm (1829) thought the Karai of Persia arrived from "Tartary" as a result of Timur's campaigns. Under Afsharid Nader Shah (r. 1736–1747), they were settled in Khorasan. Before that time, the Karai seem also to have been found in Azerbaijan. Adam Olearius, who traveled in Azerbaijan in 1638, mentions Karai as one of the tribes of Mogan.
They became influential there in the 18th century, after their leader, Amir Khan, was made governor of Mashad under Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1749. Their political power peaked in the early 19th century under the leadership of Eshaq Khan Qaraei-Torbati. Eshaq Khan had submitted to Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar in 1795, but under Fath-Ali Shah Qajar he achieved de facto autonomy from the central Qajar government, seizing control of Mashad in 1813. But soon later, in 1816, Eshaq Khan's tribal alliance fell apart and he was killed in Mashad.
Esḥaq Khan was succeeded by his son Moḥammad Khan, who managed to retain "a sort of semi-independent existence" But in the second half of the 19th century, the Karai chiefs lost most of their wealth and influence. George N. Curzon, who visited the area in 1889, described the region as "terribly decimated both by Turkmen ravages and by the great famine".
Demographics
A small Qarai population is found in Kerman Province, comprising some 420 households as of 1957, centered on the village of Tangu. and in Fars Province, where clans using the name Qarai are found within the Qashqai, Khamsa and Mamasāni tribal confederacies.
Oberling (1960:101) cites Iranian Army Files of 1956 according to which the Qarai of Kerman and Fars were moved there from Khorasan during the Safavid dynasty.

Máire Nic an Bhaird (; ; born 1982) is a secondary school teacher and Irish language activist from Dunmurry, County Antrim in Northern Ireland.
On 26 February 2007 she was found guilty of disorderly conduct and fined £100, arising from an incident in May 2006 in south Belfast. She maintained she was arrested for speaking in Irish to an officer of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), and was acquitted on appeal in September 2007.
Court case
Nic an Bhaird was arrested after leaving a public house on the Malone Road in south Belfast with friends after a night out. She became involved in an altercation with police officers, who alleged that she said Tiocfaidh ár lá, Irish for "our day will come", a phrase associated with republican support for the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Nic an Bhaird maintains she said Tiocfaidh bhur lá, "your day will come", meaning "you'll have your chance".
The court case was adjourned several times between June 2006 and January 2007. At her first court appearance her lawyer made it clear he would be talking to his client in Irish and made a submission that she should have the right to defend her case wholly in Irish. Her counsel was considering on 30 October 2006 whether to apply for a judicial review of the case. In February 2007, the presiding magistrate ruled that Nic an Bhaird had consumed a "substantial amount" of alcohol, and "continued to address police officers in a loud and aggressive manner", and was guilty of disorderly behaviour. She was acquitted on appeal in September 2007.
Irish language dimension
Nic an Bhaird is a native speaker of Irish and attending Belfast's Irish language secondary school, Coláiste Feirste, where she was taught by Sinn Féin MEP Bairbre de Brún. Irish-language organisations, including Na Gaeil Óga ("the Young Gaels") of which Nic an Bhaird is a member, have condemned her case as victimisation based on language, and have charged that she was assaulted by the arresting PSNI officer.
She claimed police demanded she speak English before releasing her from custody after her arrest. The Good Friday Agreement does provide for some official accommodation for the Irish language in Northern Ireland, but the required level of support is not precisely specified.

The Hammonasset River is formed about southeast of Durham, Connecticut along a gully on the north end of Bunker Hill at about a half mile northeast of the junction of Route 148 and Bunker Hill Road. The river travels for to Clinton Harbor on Long Island Sound just east of Hammonasset Beach State Park. A popular paddling route runs for about starting along Summer Hill Road about south on Route 79 from North Madison, Connecticut. This is a scenic river run with mostly flat and quickwater, but with a few Class I-II whitewater areas.
The Hammonasset were a tribe of Algonquian Native Americans who had their "digging grounds" in this part of Connecticut, from the west bank of the Connecticut River to the Hammonasset River along the coast. The act of the Connecticut General Court, May 10, 1666, that established New London County mentioned as the county's western bounds "Homonoscet Plantation", which was settled by the English in 1663, now Killingworth. The name was also spelled "Homonoscitt" in some records.

Strip cropping is a method of farming which involves cultivating a field partitioned into long, narrow strips which are alternated in a crop rotation system. It is used when a slope is too steep or when there is no alternative method of preventing soil erosion. The most common crop choices for strip cropping are closely sown crops such as hay, wheat, or other forages which are alternated with strips of row crops, such as corn, soybeans, cotton, or sugar beets. The forages serve primarily as cover crops. In certain systems, strips in particularly eroded areas are used to grow permanent protective vegetation; in most systems, however, all strips are alternated on an annual basis.
Dimensions
Widths of strips are determined by a number of factors, with the two most important being the average wind velocity in a specific site and the features of the slope, particularly the gradient. Each strip typically ranges from 25 feet (7.6 m) to 75 feet (23 m) in width, but certain conditions may necessitate widths outside of this range. A minimum width of 50 feet (15 m) is ideal for the use of most farm equipment.
Use in conservation
The growing of a cultivated crop (as corn) in strips alternating with strips of a sod-forming crop (as hay) arranged to follow an approximate contour of the land and minimize erosion.
Saffron can also be planted with strip farming.
Strip cropping helps to stop soil erosion by creating natural dams for water, helping to preserve the strength of the soil. Certain layers of plants will absorb minerals and water from the soil more effectively than others. When water reaches the weaker soil that lacks the minerals needed to make it stronger, it normally washes it away. When strips of soil are strong enough to slow down water from moving through them, the weaker soil can't wash away like it normally would. Because of this, farmland stays fertile much longer.
The term strip cropping also refers to a method of dry farming sometimes used in areas including parts of the Great Plains of the United States and the Prairies of Canada. To accumulate moisture in these dry areas, cropland is periodically left fallow. Typically, the fallow and planted areas are organized in parallel long, narrow strips that are oriented normal to the prevailing winds, in order to minimize the erosion of soil from the bare fields.
Strip farming helps to prevent mass erosion by having the roots of crops hold on to the soil to prevent it from being washed away.
In the midwestern US, prairie strips integrate "native plant species into farm fields as contour buffers and edge-of-field filters." Prairie strips attract pollinators, build soil health, help prevent erosion, and provide wildlife habitat.
Types
Strip intercropping
Intercropping is the practice of growing two or more crops in the same field. In strip intercropping, the field is still divided into strips, but the strips are narrower and contiguous. This helps facilitate modern farm machinery as well as allowing adjoining plants to benefit from synergistic growth effects.
Contour stripcropping
Contour stripcropping involves employing a crop rotation system down a slope in order to minimize runoff and rain velocity. It is used mainly on gentle slope gradients. The width of protective strips is often higher than that of the row crop strips so that they may effectively intercept runoff.

Micheál Webster (born 1 August 1977) is an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer who played as a full-forward for the Tipperary senior team.
Webster made his first appearance for the Tipperary senior football team during the 2003 National League and was a regular dual player until his retirement after the 2009 hurling championship. During that time he won two Munster hurling medals. He has ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Webster is a dual county senior championship medalist with Loughmore–Castleiney.
Playing career
Club
Webster plays his club hurling and football with Loughmore–Castleiney GAA.
In 2004 he was a member of the Loughmore senior football team that reached the county championship decider. Moyle Rovers were the opponents, however, a 0-9 to 0-6 victory gave Webster a county football championship medal.
Three years later 2007 Webster was on the Loughmore–Castleiney team that reached the county hurling championship final. Drom & Inch provided the opposition, however, the game was one-sided in nature. A 0-22 to 0-13 victory gave Webster a county hurling championship medal. Loughmore–Castleiney later reached the provincial final against Tulla. In bad weather Loughmore–Castleiney emerged as winners by 1-6 to 0-7 giving Webster a Munster medal.
Inter-county
Webster first came to prominence on the inter-count scene as a member of the Tipperary junior football team during the 2002 campaign.
The following year Webster joined the Tipp senior football team. He made his debut as a substitute in a National League game against Waterford and was used on a regular basis during the rest of the campaign.
In 2004 he made his championship debut with the Tipperary senior football team when he came on as a substitute in a defeat by Limerick.
By 2005 Webster had joined the Tipperary senior hurling team. He made his debut in a National League game against Down that year, and immediately became a regular member of the team.
After losing back-to-back Munster finals to Cork in 2005 and 2006 and a disastrous season in 2007, things began to change for Tipp in 2009. Tipperary qualified for the Munster final that year where they defeated Clare by 2-21 to 0-19. Webster collected his first Munster medal that day, however, Tipperary were subsequently defeated in an All-Ireland semi-final by Waterford on a scoreline of 1-20 to 1-18. Cummins was once again presented with an All-Star award.
In 2009 Webster won his second Munster medal as Tipp defeated Waterford by 4-14 to 2-16. After a six-week lay-off and a semi-final win over Limerick, Tipperary qualified for an All-Ireland final meeting with Kilkenny. Two quick goals in the space of a minute, one from a penalty by Henry Shefflin, meant a 2-22 to 0-23 defeat for Tipperary.

S11, SB11, SM11 are disability swimming classifications for blind swimmers.
Sport
This classification is for swimming. In the classification title, S represents Freestyle, Backstroke and Butterfly strokes. SB means breaststroke. SM means individual medley. Jane Buckley, writing for the Sporting Wheelies, describes the swimmers in this classification as having: "unable to see at all and are considered totally blind (see IBSA B1 – appendix). Swimmers must wear blackened goggles if they swim in this class. They will also require someone to tap them when they are approaching a wall."
Getting classified
Internationally, the classification is done by the International Blind Sports Association. In Australia, to be classified in this category, athletes contact the Australian Paralympic Committee or their state swimming governing body. In the United States, classification is handled by the United States Paralympic Committee on a national level. The classification test has three components: "a bench test, a water test, observation during competition." American swimmers are assessed by four people: a medical classified, two general classified and a technical classifier.
At the Paralympic Games
For the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio, the International Paralympic Committee had a zero classification at the Games policy. This policy was put into place in 2014, with the goal of avoiding last minute changes in classes that would negatively impact athlete training preparations. All competitors needed to be internationally classified with their classification status confirmed prior to the Games, with exceptions to this policy being dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Competitions
For this classification, organisers of the Paralympic Games have the option of including the following events on the Paralympic programme: 50m, 100m and 400m Freestyle, 100m Backstroke, 100m Breaststroke, 100m Butterfly, 200m Individual Medley, and Freestyle Relay and Medley Relay.
Records
, in the S11 50 m Freestyle Long Course, the men's world record is held by Yang Bozan and the women's world record is held by Cecilia Camellini. In the S11 400 m Freestyle Long Course, the men's world record is held by the American John Morgan and the women's world record is held by the American Anastasia Pagonis.
Competitors
Swimmers who have competed in this classification include Alexander Chekurov, Enhamed Enhamed and Junichi Kawai who all won medals in their class at the 2008 Paralympics.
American swimmers who have been classified by the United States Paralympic Committee as being in this class include Katie Pavlacka, Rio Popper, Julianna Raiche and Rylie Robinson.

Jane Phillips-Gay, CCH (2 November 1913 – 21 February 1994) was an Afro-Guyanese trade unionist and an ordained minister. She was an advocate of women's rights, formed one of the first women's political organizations in the country and served as one of the first women to be elected as a Member of British Guiana Parliament. She was recognized with the national service honor, the Cacique Crown of Honor in 1975.
Early life
Jane Henrietta Phillips was born on 2 November 1913, in Georgetown, British Guiana, to James Adolphus Phillips She attended St. Ambrose Primary, Brickdam Roman Catholic School and Christ Church Anglican School, winning the primary school scholarship in 1925, which allowed her to continue her schooling. She attended Collegiate High School, completing her Junior Cambridge certification in 1929.
Career
That same year, Phillips preached her first sermon, "Blessed are thou among women", at St. Stephens Church. She began preaching regularly and laid the foundation for her own church. In 1933, she was ordained as a Baptist preacher in Barbados. She joined the African Development Association, a Guyanese organization formed in 1938 to empower and improve the lives of Afro-Guyanese. In 1942, Phillips married Ivan Gay and affixed his surname to her own, becoming Phillips-Gay.
Labor disputes in the sugar industry of British Guiana had historically led to shootings on various plantations. One such incident at the Emerald plantation in the 1940s, led Phillips-Gay to seek out Joseph P. Lachmansingh, who would become the head of the Guiana Industrial Workers Union (GIWU) to try to understand the roots of the problem. He invited her to participate with him at a meeting on one of the plantations. She began working with Lachmansingh as a volunteer, visiting plantations throughout the colony and recording grievances and injuries of the cane workers. Phillips-Gay joined the Women's Political and Economic Organization (WPEO) when it formed in 1946. The first political organization of women in British Guiana, the group sought civic, economic and political parity for women. The following year, when the People's Progressive Party (PPP), formed she joined it as well.
In 1948, Phillips-Gay became the assistant general secretary of the GIWU and was an active participant in the Enmore strike, which resulted in workers being martyred for their involvement. The following year, Phillips-Gay, a recognized labor leader, became the general secretary of GIWU, with the responsibility of managing the organization. In 1953, she was one of the group of women of the PPP, who formed the Women’s Progressive Organisation (WPO). That same year, she ran for a seat in the House of Assembly for the East Central Demerara district and successfully gained 63 percent of the sugar constituent's vote. Ironically, her voting base was predominantly Indo-Guyanese, while another successful politician in the race, Chandra Persaud, was elected by a predominantly Afro-Guyanese constituency. The election marked the first time women were allowed to vote, and Phillips-Gay, along with Janet Jagan and Jessica Burnham became the first three women elected to the parliament.
In 1955, the PPP split and Phillips-Gay joined the faction led by Forbes Burnham, which became the People's National Congress (PNC). She led an unsuccessful bid to keep her seat on the PNC ticket in 1957, and lost both subsequent attempts in 1961, and 1964. In 1957, she led the founding of the Women's Auxiliary of the PNC and served as the chair of the group for the next nineteen years. Phillips-Gay continued her community service work becoming involved in various measures aimed at protecting children and the elderly, as well as continuing her efforts with workers and the unemployed. Her work with women’s organizations expanded region wide and in 1970, she helped found Caribbean Women’s Association (CARIWA). In 1975, she was awarded Guyana's second highest national honor, the Cacique Crown of Honor (CCH).
Death and legacy
Phillips-Gay died on 21 February 1994 in Georgetown. At the time of her death, the legislature recognized her commitment to her service to the nation and she is remembered each International Women's Day for her contributions.

Plaza Ñuñoa is found in the Ñuñoa commune of Santiago, Chile, located in the eastern part of the city. It is classic meeting place well known for its cultural centers, entertainment venues, restaurants, bars, nightlife, and ice cream stores. Plaza Ñuñoa is also where an alternative music scene fomented.
Location
Plaza Ñuñoa is located between Irarrázaval Avenue and Duble Almeyda Avenue and between Jorge Washington street and Manuel de Salas street. The plaza also extends north of Irarrázaval Avenue. The closest metro station is Irarrázaval or Plaza Egaña , neither of which are particularly close to the Plaza. The plaza is accessible on any of the buses that go from the center of Santiago to La Reina commune: 227, 403, 422, 505, 513, 514.
History
The neighborhood development began with adjacent lots along Irarrázaval Avenue. The large palm trees on the southern side of the avenue make the plaza visually appealing. When the trolleys started passing through and small shops began to appear, activity intensified in the sector. Plaza Ñuñoa became important at the end of the 1960s, with increased urbanification of the side of the city nearer to the mountains. In carrying out a study about social psychology, memory, and spatiality in Santiago, Chile scholars focused on Plaza Ñuñoa.
In the 1980s Plaza Ñuñoa became the beer drinking destination of intellectuals and students who frequented bar Las Lanzas, a place that began to be identified as cultural and leftist. There is also a bar and nightclub called La Batuta that provided a location for the burgeoning rock scene in Chile beginning in 1989.
Established at Plaza Ñuñoa in the 1970s, Teatro Universidad Católica, formerly called Teatro Dante, is a theatre on Jorge Washington street that attracts world-class productions.
Plaza Ñuñoa in literature
The plaza has provided the setting for numerous Chilean novels, including those by authors such as Dauno Tótoro Taulis, , Cristóbal Peña, Ricardo E. Rodríguez, Jesús Sepúlveda, Elizabeth Subercaseaux and Carlos Labbé. The novel The Private Lives of Trees, by the Chilean author, Alejandro Zambra, and Juan Villegas Morales' Yo Tenía un Compañero both feature the plaza.

Peach Pass is an electronic toll collection system in use in the U.S. state of Georgia, which is currently used primarily for high-occupancy toll lanes and express toll lanes on Interstate 75 (I-75), I-85, and I-575 in metropolitan Atlanta. Peach Pass can also be used on toll roads in Florida and North Carolina where SunPass and NC Quick Pass are permitted, and vice versa; Peach Pass will soon become compatible with E-ZPass, which is now interoperable with the latter two systems.
In the future, the Peach Pass toll system is expected to incorporate additional proposed express toll lanes along State Route 400 (SR 400) north of I-285, I-20 east and west of I-285, I-75 between I-675 and I-285, and around the perimeter of I-285 between major activity centers surrounding Atlanta, with the intent of easing traffic congestion for suburban commuters traveling inside perimeter city limits during peak commuting times. The goal is to keep traffic moving consistently above in the express lanes and help reduce traffic congestion in the free lanes as well.
Design
Peach Pass is an RFID transponder in the form of a sticker that drivers put inside their windshields. Customers may either open a Peach Pass account with a minimum deposit of $20 replenished by a major credit card or debit card, or purchase a "Pay n GO!" Peach Pass at participating CVS or Walgreens locations for $2.50 with an initial deposit of at least $20.
Interoperability
Georgia's Peach Pass currently works with similar systems in Florida and North Carolina. NationalPass users may use Georgia's facilities as well as those outside the state. PeachPass was originally to be compatible with E-ZPass by 2021, but that date has since been pushed to the 2nd quarter of 2022. In July 2023, they expanded interoperability with the following E-ZPass states: Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, and Rhode Island.
History
The Peach Pass is the successor to the Georgia Cruise Card, which was used for electronic toll collection at the former toll plaza on SR 400 in Buckhead before tolls were removed in 2013.
Accepted locations in Georgia
I-75/I-575 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes (between I-285 and Acworth/Canton)
I-75 South Metro Express Lanes (between McDonough and I-675)
I-85 Express Lanes and Express Lanes Extension (between I-285 and northeastern Gwinnett County)

Tanjung Resang is a cape located south of Penyabong and north of Air Papan in Mersing District, Johor, Malaysia.
Although not as well known as other East Coast seaside areas, such as Desaru or Kuantan, Tanjung Resang's main attractions are its beach and serene surroundings.
Currently, six family-run resorts operate in Tanjung Resang, with another one under construction.
For most of the year the Tanjung Resang area is quite sheltered from the elements, rendering the sea an ideal sailing training ground.
In addition to Tanjung Resang's recreational activities, its mostly untouched wilderness hinterland has recently been gathering momentum as an ecotourism hotspot. Gunung Arong Recreational Forest, in particular, is quite popular amongst hikers.
Other activities include scuba diving, freediving, snorkeling, kayaking, skimboarding, stand up paddling, deep sea fishing and off-roading. In addition, during the windier Northeast monsoon months, Tanjung Resang lends itself more for surfing, as well as high-wind windsurfing and kitesurfing.

The Mangarh massacre occurred on 17 November 1913, when British and Indian troops attacked the stronghold of Govindgiri at the end of the Bhil Revolt. It occurred on a hillock in the Mangarh Hills of Rajasthan. There are no accurate figures for the number of Bhil who were killed, but estimates range from "several Bhils died" to the oral tradition that 1,500 tribals were killed.
Background
Govindgiri was a social and religious reformer among the tribes (adivasi) of the Rajasthan and Gujarat areas of India. He had run afoul of the local princely state rulers, notably Sunth, Banswara, Idar, and Dungarpur because of his critique of the Indian hierarchy and its exploitation of the adivasi, and the subsequent social disruptions by his followers that his doctrines caused.
October–November 1913
Fleeing from an attempt by the ruler of Idar State to capture Govindgiri, Govindgiri and his adherents formed a defensive position on a hillock in the Mangarh Hills on the borders of the princely states of Banswara and Sunth. On 31 October, some of his followers attacked the police outpost at
Gadhran, looted it, killed one police constable and took another officer captive. On 1 November, some of his followers unsuccessfully attacked the Parbatgadh fort in Sunth. Meanwhile, bands of Bhil from the Mangarh Hills were attacking and looting local villages in both Sunth and Banswara. Police were dispatched from both Banswara and Sunth to end the assembly, but negotiations failed. So the rulers sought a military solution. Units of Imperial Service Troops and the Mewar Bhil Corps besieged the hillock. On 12 November 1913, Govindgiri and his deputy Punja Pargi (aka Punja Dhirji) sent a delegation to the British with their list of grievances, "but negotiations did not take place."However, the commanding officer did give the delegation an ultimatum: Disband before 15 November. The Bhil stood firm and stayed. On 17 November 1913, the Indian and British forces attacked the Bhil defensive works, and captured Govindgiri and his deputy Punja Pargi as well as 900 prisoners.
Mangarh Dham
A monument was built on the hillock honouring the victims of the massacre. In November 2022, it was declared a national monument. In 2017, plans were begun to put a Tribal Freedom Struggle Museum there as well. The museum was completed in 2022.
Name and legacy
At the time of the Mangarh massacre little note was made of it, in part because the victims were mere tribesmen, and details only appeared in local or regional documents. However as Indian nationalism grew, so did interest in past injustices, with the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre taking center stage. As a result, the Mangarh massacre was often referred to as the Adivasi Jallianwala Bagh or the Jallianwala Bagh of Vagad in reference to the better known one.

The 2016 United States presidential election in Wyoming was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Wyoming voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.
On March 1 and April 9, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Wyoming voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, and Constitution parties' respective nominees for president. Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote. Prior to the election, Wyoming was considered to be a state Trump would win or a safe red state.
Donald Trump won the election in Wyoming with 67.4% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 21.6% of the vote. Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party received 5.1%. Wyoming, a solidly Republican state, has not voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since it went for Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Trump carried every county with the exception of Teton County. His 46.3-point margin over Clinton not only made Wyoming the most Republican state in the 2016 election, but also the largest margin of victory by any presidential candidate in the state's history, besting Ronald Reagan's 42.3-point margin in 1984, though Ronald Regan won the highest percentage in the state in 1984, winning an astonishing 70.5% of the vote. Clinton's 21.88% vote share was the lowest of any major party presidential nominee in Wyoming history.
Primary elections
The incumbent President of the United States, Barack Obama, a Democrat and former U.S. Senator of Illinois, was first elected president in the 2008 election, running with former Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. Defeating the Republican nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona, with 52.9% of the popular vote and 68% of the electoral vote, Obama succeeded two-term Republican President George W. Bush, the former Governor of Texas. Obama and Biden were reelected in the 2012 presidential election, defeating former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney with 51.1% of the popular vote and 61.7% of electoral votes. Since the end of 2009, polling companies such as Gallup have found Obama's approval ratings to be between 40 and 50 percent.
Following his second term, Barack Obama was not eligible for another reelection. In October 2015, Obama's running-mate and two-term Vice President Joe Biden decided not to enter the race for the Democratic presidential nomination either. With their term expiring on January 20, 2017, the electorate was asked to elect a new president, the 45th president and 48th vice president of the United States, respectively.

Voting History
Wyoming is the least populous of all 50 U.S. states. With almost 60% of the population identifying with or leaning towards the Republican Party, compared to less than 30% identifying with or leaning towards the Democrats, it is also the most solid Republican state, ahead of Idaho and Utah. In the 2012 presidential election, incumbent President Barack Obama received less than 28% of the votes, trailing Mitt Romney by more than 40 points.

Metoma is a small volcanic island in Torba Province of Vanuatu in the Pacific Ocean.
Geography
Metoma is a part of the Torres Islands archipelago. It lies 500 km from Port Vila. The island is located between the neighboring islands of Tegua and Hiu. The summit elevation is 115 m. Metoma is populated by robber crabs (Birgus latro), the world's largest terrestrial invertebrates. The island is 2.4 km long and 1.4 km wide, and lies 600 m north of Tegua Island.
Population
Metoma had 13 inhabitants in 2009. The village in the south of the island is called Rival.
Name
The island is locally called Mētome in Lo-Toga. The official name Metoma is spelled according to the Mota language, which missionaries chose as a reference in the area; the latter form is conservative of the ancient form *metoma which can be reconstructed in the ancestral language of the Torres and Banks Islands.

The Hotel2Tango (sometimes referred to as Thee Mighty Hotel2Tango and abbreviated H2T) is a 24-track analogue recording studio situated in the Mile End district of Montreal, Quebec. The current facility is the second to bear the name, and was preceded by a similar operation in the same neighborhood until 2007 when the studio changed locations. The majority of recording projects undertaken at the studio are helmed by one of the facility's four partner-engineers: Efrim Menuck and Thierry Amar, both members of Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band and Godspeed You! Black Emperor; Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, member of Jerusalem in My Heart; and Howard Bilerman. The Hotel2Tango is often closely associated with Constellation Records, a Montreal-based record label.
Before becoming a dedicated studio, the original Hotel2Tango acted first as a living space and later as a live performance venue.
Original location (1995–2007)
Future Godspeed You! Black Emperor member Mauro Pezzente and his partner Kiva Stimac first moved into the space that later became the Hotel2Tango in 1995. The loft doubled as a performance space and was dubbed Gallery Quiva, hosting approximately one show per month. However, after less than a year exhaust fumes and odor from the mechanic's garage directly below the loft forced Pezzente and Stimac to vacate the building. Shortly thereafter the lease was taken over by Efrim Menuck, who took the first three letters of the area's postal code, H2T, and used the NATO phonetic alphabet to create the space's new name: Hotel2Tango. Pezzente and Stimac later opened three highly-influential performance spaces on Saint Laurent Boulevard in Montreal: Casa del Popolo, La Sala Rossa, and the now defunct El Salon.
By 1998, the Hotel2Tango had become one of the most popular alternative music venues in the city of Montreal and acted as a hub for a number of projects by members of the local artistic community. At one point the loft acted as a work space for Montreal silk-screeners the Bloodsisters, and as a workshop for a local carpenter. Godspeed You! Black Emperor performed at the Hotel2Tango frequently and used the loft as a practice space along with other groups such as Fly Pan Am and Molasses. Godspeed also recorded the bulk of their first album, F♯A♯∞ in the loft's large main room the previous year. As the band's popularity grew over the next several years, so too did the mystery surrounding its secretive members. Many rumours developed about the group and its de facto home base. At one point it was commonly believed by outsiders that all of the band members were squatting illegally in the loft. Eventually word spread about the shows taking place at the Hotel2Tango and the crowds arriving each evening came to be greater than the facility could handle. Amid numerous thefts by show attendees and a generally out-of-control crowd, shows at the Hotel2Tango became less frequent and eventually stopped completely, effectively passing the torch to a handful of newly opened dedicated concert venues within the city. At that time at least two people still lived within the walls of the Hotel2Tango, including Godspeed bassist Thierry Amar, though he later moved out.
In 2000 Howard Bilerman, then-owner of Mom and Pop Sounds, a small Montreal recording studio near the city's Chinatown, approached Amar and Menuck, who were interested in focusing on establishing a studio in the Hotel2Tango, about combining the trio's equipment to use in a central space. Finding the offer favourable, the group began consolidating their two facilities; building a number of walls within the Hotel2Tango, effectively separating the space into three areas: a control room, a live room and a large common area. Soon after, the three purchased a professional 24-track analogue tape machine, which became the centerpiece of the new Hotel2Tango studio. The studio had a built-in clientele, quickly becoming the studio of choice for most of the Montreal-based artists on the Constellation Records label. For a number of years the studio remained closed to most outsiders, its operators choosing to concentrate mostly on the projects of friends and those groups directly related to Constellation and another Montreal record label, Fancy Recordings, a now-defunct subsidiary of Alien8 Recordings. In recent years, however, the Hotel2Tango has opened its doors to many other bands from Montreal and abroad, launching a promotional website in September 2004.
Relocation
In early 2006 several people involved with Constellation Records and the Hotel2Tango purchased an industrial building two blocks from the site of the original studio. The building had reportedly been abandoned for about a decade and was nearly to be developed into condominiums at the time of the purchase. The building was renovated over the course of a year in order to house a new Hotel2Tango along with Harris Newman's Grey Market Mastering and the Constellation Records headquarters. The transition between the two locations officially took place in early 2007, with operations in the original building ceasing on February 4.
Clientele
Many groups and musicians have recorded at the Hotel2Tango, including Vic Chesnutt, Sam Roberts Band, Arcade Fire, Thalia Zedek, Wolf Parade, Basia Bulat and Godspeed You! Black Emperor among others.

There are several Jain councils mentioned in Jain texts associated with revision and redaction of Jain Agamas (sacred texts). The first council was held at Pataliputra. The second councils were probably held simultaneously at Mathura and Vallabhi. The third council was held at Vallabhi under auspices of Devarddhigani Kshamashramana when the texts were written down. The definite dates of councils are not mentioned in the texts before Jinaprabhamuni's Sandehavisausadhi of 1307 CE. The later texts states that the last Vallabhi council was held 980 or 993 years after the death (Nirvana) of last Tirthankara Mahavira (After Vardhamana = AV).
Councils
Pataliputra Council
The first council was held at Pataliputra (now Patna, Bihar, India). The Avashyaka-churni (dated between Samvat 650 and 750=593–693 CE) describes: There was twelve years long famine which resulted in the monks moving to the coast. When the famine ended, they gathered at Pataliputra. They gathered the sacred knowledge and put together the eleven Angas but could not gather the Ditthivada (Drstivada). Bhadrabahu who knew the fourteen Purvas was then in Nepal. The sangha sent emissaries to him and informed to come and teach Dittivada. He refused to come citing that he had undertaken a practise Mahaprana. The emissaries returned and informed the sangha. The sangha sent emissaries again and asked, "What is the punishment for someone who disobeys an order of the sangha?" He replied "That one is to be expelled." He added, " Do not expel me, send intelligent [students], I will teach them."
Hemchandra's Parishishtaparvan, probably based on Avashyaka-churni; also known as Sthaviravali (stories on the lives of elders or Jain patriarchs), contains detailed information about the council and how the knowledge of the Purvas was lost.
Mathura Council and Vallabhi Council I
The second councils were held simultaneously at Mathura (now in Uttar Pradesh, India) under auspices of Skandila and at Vallabhi (now in Gujarat, India) under auspices of Nagarjuna to continue the transmission of sacred knowledge after famines.
Vallabhi Council II
The Vallabhi Council was convened by Svetambara Jain monks at Vallabhi (now in Bhavnagar district, Gujarat, India) to reduce down to writing sacred texts (Jain Agama) that had so far been transmitted orally. The council was presided by Devarddhigani Kshamashramana. Vallabhi was then under the Maitraka rule.
Dates of councils
No dates are cited for Pataliputra council in Avashyaka-churni. Hemchandra's Parishishtaparvan (dated Vikram Samvat 1216–1229) states the Pataliputra council was held in 160 AV.
Nandisutra by Devavachaka mentions Skandila and Nagarjuna in Sthaviravali (list of elders) who had organised the sacred texts. It is demonstrated by Jambuvijaya that the text was known to Mallavadin in the fifth century. So the earlier version of it must be older than that. Nandisutra-churni which comments on it is dated 676 CE. So it is established that Skandila and Nagarjuna existed before 676 CE.
The following sources mentions them in the list of elders but continues the older accounts:
Jinadasagani, Nandisutra-curni (676 CE) (plus the Ayara- and Dasasrutaskandha-curnis).
Haribhadra (700–770 CE) Laghuvrtti on Nandisutra.
Silakka (9th century CE) Ayarattka.
Santyacarya Vadivetala (d. Samvat 1096 [1039]?), Sisyahita on Uttaradhyayana.
Hemachandra (1088–1172 CE), Yogashastra commentary.
Malayagiri (c. 1093–1193 CE) tika on the Prakirnaka entitled Joisakarandaga.
The Kalpasutra (Kalpasutra, Jinacaritra, section 148) mentions redaction dates of 980 AV or 993 AV but does not mentions places or persons. Bhadresvara's (c. 1150–1200 CE) Kahavali is not considered as reliable source for date though it contains tales mentioned in earlier literature. Jinaprabhamuni's (1307 CE) Sandehavisausadhi, commentary on Kalpasutra, was the first indication of associating 980 AV with Vallabhi Council but also cite other possibilities.
The 980 AV or 993 AV dates are associated with these events in Sandehavisausadhi:
The Vallabhi council under the presidency of Devarddhigani where redaction carried out.
The council of Mathura under the presidency of Skandila who seems to have revised the sacred knowledge.
The public reading of the Kalpasutra before king Dhruvasena to relieve him from grief of death of his son.
The change of last day of Paryusana by Kalakacharya from the fifth to the fourth day of Bhadrapada month.
The following late sources associates 980 or 993 AV with Vallabhi council:
Vinayavijaya (1559 CE) Subodhika, commentary on Kalpasutra.
Dharmasagara (1571 CE), Kiranavali or Vyakhanapaddhati commentary on Kalpasutra.
Samayasundara (c. 1630 CE), Samacarishataka.
Samayasundara (1642 CE), Kalpalata, commentary on Kalpasutra.

Alexis Kirk (29 December 1936 – 17 May 2010) was an American jewelry designer who also designed clothing and fashion accessories.
Early life
Kirk, although born in Los Angeles, and brought up in New England, self-identified as Armenian. His father, Paul Kirk, was an artist for Walt Disney, and his grandfather, Charles Vemyan, worked as a glass craftsman for René Lalique. Some of Alexis's grandfather's jewelry is reportedly preserved in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul.
Alexis Kirk studied art under Walter Gropius at Harvard University, and also attended the Rhode Island School of Design before becoming a lecturer in painting, sculpture and music at the University of Tennessee.
Jewelry
Alexis Kirk's first design, which he personally wore, was a collar of Islamic glass beads and assorted charms, typical of his early work which featured amulets and symbols drawn from cultures and religions around the world, including the hamsa, Indian Paisley motifs, and Chinese fish. Kirk was very superstitious, with a strong interest in the occult and spirituality, which was reflected in his work. He started out with a small studio in Newport, Tennessee, selling jewelry to clients such as the Senator's wife. This led to a contract to design a budget-priced line of jewelry for the Hattie Carnegie company, which was a commercial failure. Following this, Kirk decided to move to New York to set up business there.
His first jewelry collection won him a Coty American Fashion Critics' Award. The following year in 1971, he diversified into clothing design, designing garments as a backdrop to his jewelry. His first fashion collection was based upon medieval designs, with tunics over hooded metallic bodystockings suggesting chainmail.
His work, in addition to spiritual, occult, and ethnic influences, used materials such as exotic woods, pewter and plastic alongside more traditional metals and stones in silhouettes based upon organic human and animal forms. The Duchess of Windsor, who said "I am absolutely fascinated by fake jewellery[...]; I think it is so good", owned a number of pieces by Kirk made from cork, wood, feathers, faux lapis lazuli and gilt metal. Kirk's work was always designed on a large scale, the designer favouring sculptural designs in striking shapes and materials which made a statement.
Kirk continued designing through the 1980s, specialising in accessories and belts. In 1988 he received an award from the Dallas Fashion Awards.
His famous clients, alongside the Duchess of Windsor, included Cher and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Kirk's elephant themed designs, made since 1972, were worn during the 1980s by the wives of Republican leaders, Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush, although the designer was a registered Democrat.
Before his death, Kirk was the owner of a retail organization called Dream Diamonds Online.
Personal life
Kirk married Hope Sands, a client's daughter, in 1971, with whom he had two daughters, Lisa and Alexia. They were divorced in 1973. He died on 17 May 2010.

Jonathan Hoefler (; born August 22, 1970) is an American type designer. Hoefler founded the Hoefler Type Foundry in 1989, a type foundry in New York.
Early life
Jonathan Hoefler was born on August 22, 1970, in New York City to Doreen Benjamin and Charles Hoefler, a theatrical set designer and producer. Growing up, it was the Gill Sans text on boxes of custard that drew him to typography design. He is largely self-taught, and worked with magazine art director Roger Black prior to forming the Hoefler Type Foundry in 1989.
Career
Hoefler's Champion Gothic was inspired by 19th-century wood type. It was commissioned for Sports Illustrated shortly after founding the company in 1989. In 1997, his path crossed with type designer Tobias Frere-Jones when both were trying to purchase German type foundry catalogs. In 1999, Hoefler began working with Frere-Jones, and from 2005 to 2014 the company operated under the name Hoefler & Frere-Jones as a partnership. In 2000, the firm, under Frere-Jones' direction, designed its ubiquitous Gotham typeface for GQ magazine and received wide recognition for their work and in the last 20 years is one of the most successful typefaces.
Hoefler's process when designing typefaces begins with research into historical records and then utilize the programming language Python to automate repetitive tasks. Their typefaces are systematic and logical and incorporate specific features based on their research. Hoefler has designed original typefaces for Rolling Stone, Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and Esquire and several institutional clients, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and alternative band They Might Be Giants. Perhaps his best-known work is the Hoefler Text family of typefaces, designed for Apple Computer and now appearing as part of the Macintosh operating system. He also designed the current wordmark of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In January 2014, Frere-Jones sued Hoefler for $20 million in the New York Supreme Court accusing him of scamming Frere-Jones. Frere-Jones claimed that in 1999, Hoefler agreed to a verbal 50–50 partnership that was legally binding. In light of the lawsuit, Hoefler changed the name back to Hoefler & Co claiming Frere-Jones had only been an employee, citing an agreement that they were not partners but “independent entities" and asked the court to dismiss the case. Fans of the foundry were shocked by the news of the lawsuit. A settlement was subsequently filed in September 2014.
On September 15, 2021, Monotype announced the acquisition of Hoefler & Co. and its font assets. Jonathan Hoefler also announced his intention to retire from the company.
Awards and recognition
In 1995, Hoefler was named one of the forty most influential designers in America by I.D. magazine, and in 2002, the Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI) presented him with its most prestigious award, the Prix Charles Peignot for outstanding contributions to type design.
Hoefler's work is part of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum's permanent collection. In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art acquired two of Hoefler's typefaces: Mercury, and HTF Didot.
In 2013, Hoefler and Frere-Jones were awarded the AIGA Medal for "their contributions to the typographic landscape through impeccable craftsmanship, skilled historical reference and insightful vernacular considerations."

Withins Lane railway station was a railway station serving the town of Radcliffe in Lancashire.(now Greater Manchester), England.
History
The railway line between and was planned by the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway, which amalgamated with other companies as the East Lancashire Railway prior to the opening in September 1846. Originally there were no stations between and Bury; a station at Withins Lane was later built, but was only open for two brief periods: August 1847–May 1849 and February 1850–December 1851, during which it served the northern part of Radcliffe, and was a stopping point for trains operated via Clifton Junction. Since 1879 the area has been served by the station now known as Radcliffe Metrolink station.

Hobak-juk () or pumpkin porridge is a variety of Korean porridge, or juk, made with pumpkin and glutinous rice flour. It is a smooth and naturally sweet porridge that is traditionally served to recovering patients or the elderly.
Preparation
Pumpkins, preferably Korean cheese pumpkins called cheongdung-hobak () or kabocha squash called danhobak (), are washed and sliced into thick pieces. It is boiled, peeled, deseeded and mashed. Mashed pumpkin can be strained to obtain a smoother texture. It is then mixed with glutinous rice flour slurry and boiled, during which parboiled red beans or black beans may be added. Another common addition is saealsim (; literally "bird's egg", named as such due to its resemblance to small bird's eggs, possibly quail eggs), the small rice cake balls made of glutinous rice flour kneaded with hot water. Finally, salt and optionally sugar is added, to taste.

In complex analysis, a removable singularity of a holomorphic function is a point at which the function is undefined, but it is possible to redefine the function at that point in such a way that the resulting function is regular in a neighbourhood of that point.
For instance, the (unnormalized) sinc function, as defined by
has a singularity at . This singularity can be removed by defining which is the limit of as tends to 0. The resulting function is holomorphic. In this case the problem was caused by being given an indeterminate form. Taking a power series expansion for around the singular point shows that
Formally, if is an open subset of the complex plane , a point of , and is a holomorphic function, then is called a removable singularity for if there exists a holomorphic function which coincides with on . We say is holomorphically extendable over if such a exists.
Riemann's theorem
Riemann's theorem on removable singularities is as follows:
The implications 1 ⇒ 2 ⇒ 3 ⇒ 4 are trivial. To prove 4 ⇒ 1, we first recall that the holomorphy of a function at is equivalent to it being analytic at (proof), i.e. having a power series representation. Define
Clearly, h is holomorphic on , and there exists
by 4, hence h is holomorphic on D and has a Taylor series about a:
We have c0 = h(a) = 0 and c1 = h(a) = 0; therefore
Hence, where , we have:
However,
is holomorphic on D, thus an extension of .
Other kinds of singularities
Unlike functions of a real variable, holomorphic functions are sufficiently rigid that their isolated singularities can be completely classified. A holomorphic function's singularity is either not really a singularity at all, i.e. a removable singularity, or one of the following two types:
In light of Riemann's theorem, given a non-removable singularity, one might ask whether there exists a natural number such that . If so, is called a pole of and the smallest such is the order of . So removable singularities are precisely the poles of order 0. A holomorphic function blows up uniformly near its other poles.
If an isolated singularity of is neither removable nor a pole, it is called an essential singularity. The Great Picard Theorem shows that such an maps every punctured open neighborhood to the entire complex plane, with the possible exception of at most one point.

François le Métel de Boisrobert (1 August 1592 – 30 March 1662) was a French poet, playwright, and courtier.
Life
He was born in Caen. He trained as a lawyer, later practising for a time in Rouen. He traveled to Paris in 1622 and established employment at court, for he had a share in the ballet of the Bacchanales performed at the Louvre in February. In 1630 visited Rome, where he won the favour of Pope Urban VIII and was made a canon of Rouen.
He was introduced to Cardinal Richelieu in 1623, and became one of five poets to inspire Richelieu's works. It was Boisrobert who suggested to Richelieu the plan of the Académie française, and he was one of its earliest and most active members. These efforts resulted in him becoming quite wealthy. After the death of Richelieu, he became affiliated with Mazarin, whom he served faithfully throughout the Fronde. In his later years, he dedicated much of his time to his duties as a priest.
He wrote a number of comedies and contributed to numerous others, including La Belle Plaideuse and Molière's L'Avare. Contes, published under the name of his brother D'Ouville, is also often largely attributed to him.
