Benjamin Moran (b. Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 1820 – d. Braintree, Essex, on 20 June 1886) worked at the United States Legation (later the US Embassy) in London from 1853 to 1874.
Moran first visited England in 1851. In 1853, around the time that James Buchanan, who was from the same county in Pennsylvania as Moran, became US ambassador in London, Moran returned to England, becoming a temporary clerk at the legation. In 1854, he gained a permanent post and, in 1857, he was appointed Assistant Secretary, a post he kept until 1864, when he was promoted to Secretary, serving until 1875. From 1857, he kept a private diary which was subsequently published; the diary is of interest mainly because it documents how the US Civil War was seen in the UK.
Buchanan was elected president and George M. Dallas became Ambassador in London, where Moran stayed. From the end of 1858, Moran was co-owner of the London-based Spectator magazine, which he used to promote Buchanan's views against a generally hostile, anti-slavery British press. His co-owner was John McHenry, an American businessman who was also based in London, and they arranged the purchase through a nominee, Thornton Leigh Hunt, to disguise their connection. They dramatically altered the tone of the magazine, its circulation declined substantially and there were several occasion when Moran had to pump additional funds into the venture. Having paid £4200 for it, they sold for £2000 in January 1861, by which time Abraham Lincoln had taken over from the vacillating Buchanan.
In 1875, he was made Minister Resident to Portugal and, since this was the first instance of this kind of promotion in US diplomatic history, some regard him as the first American career diplomat. When the office of Minister Resident was discontinued in 1876, Moran was made Chargé d'Affaires at Lisbon, serving until 1882 when ill health forced him to resign and return to England. He never went back to the US, settling, instead, at Braintree in Essex, where he died at nearby Bocking Hall.

USS Katahdin, a harbor-defense ram of innovative design, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Mount Katahdin, a mountain peak in Maine.
Design and construction
The inspiration behind Katahdin was Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen, an advocate of a coastal defense navy. Ammen was impressed by the British torpedo ram HMS Polyphemus. Unlike Polyphemus, which was primarily a torpedo boat, with ramming a secondary function, the American design was for a pure ram, with no torpedoes carried.
Katahdins design was a new departure in naval architecture, built to ride extremely low in the water with her bow awash while under way. Her hull embodied several new features later used in early submarines. A similar design was the whaleback freighters of the Great Lakes which went into production in 1887.
An order was placed for construction of a prototype armored ram in 1889. Her keel was laid down by the Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine in July 1891. She was launched on 4 February, 1893, sponsored by Miss Una Soley, daughter of James R. Soley, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 20 February 1897.
Service history
Although Katahdins engines were more powerful than specified, Katahdin failed to reach the contracted speed of , requiring the passing of special legislation to allow her to be accepted by the Navy. Conditions aboard the ship were extremely uncomfortable, as it was cramped and had very poor ventilation, leading to almost intolerable temperatures being recorded.
Katahdin departed New York Harbor 4 March 1897, the day of President William McKinley's first inauguration, and sailed to Norfolk, Virginia, before decommissioning at Philadelphia Naval Yard on 17 April. A year later, with the Navy preparing for an impending war with Spain, she recommissioned there 10 March 1898. She was attached to the North Atlantic Squadron and operated along the Atlantic Coast from New England to Norfolk protecting the nation's seaboard cities from possible attack. After decisive American naval victories at Manila Bay and Santiago Harbor eliminated this threat, the ram decommissioned for the last time at Philadelphia Navy Yard on 8 October.
Katahdin was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 9 July 1909 and designated "Ballistic Experimental Target 'A'. Katahdin was sunk by gunfire at Rappahannock Spit, Virginia, that September.

Production
The film was adapted from the 1925 novel by Edgar Wallace titled The Ringer (originally: The Gaunt Stranger). An earlier German version had been made in the Weimar Republic in 1932, also called Der Hexer.
Shooting took place from 3 June to 10 July 1964 on location in Hamburg and at the Spandau Studios in Berlin.
Release
The FSK gave the film a rating of 16 and up and found it not appropriate for screenings on public holidays.
It premiered on 21 August 1964 at the Alhambra in Düsseldorf.
Parody
The title of the 2004 German comedy film Der Wixxer is a parody of and wordplay on Der Hexer. It parodies German media in general (akin to the Scary Movie series), but puts particular emphasis on parodying the German Edgar Wallace productions of the 1960s and 1970s. Whereas "Der Hexer" translates to witcher or warlock in English, "Der Wixxer" is an intentional misspelling of "der Wichser", a vulgar insult meaning "the wanker".

Alessandro Renato Rodolfo Lindblad (born 7 July 1991), better known by his stage name Alesso (), is a Swedish DJ and music producer.
He has worked with numerous artists, including Tove Lo, Theo Hutchcraft, Ryan Tedder, Hailee Steinfeld, Calvin Harris, Katy Perry, Anitta, Usher, David Guetta, Sebastian Ingrosso, Liam Payne, TINI, and Stray Kids. He has performed at numerous music festivals, including Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Creamfields, and Tomorrowland. In 2012, MTV named Alesso one of the "EDM Rookies to Watch".
He was ranked 13th on DJ Magazines 2015 list of the top 100 DJs and number 20th in year 2016 on DJ Magazine among the list of Top 100 DJs in the world. His debut full-length album Forever was released in 2015 by Def Jam Recordings.
Music career
Pre-2013: Career beginnings
Lindblad was born in Stockholm, and is of Swedish and Italian descent. He started playing piano at age 7, but became interested in Electronic Dance Music when he was 16. He first gained recognition with the release of his Alesso EP in 2010. In early 2011, Sebastian Ingrosso of Swedish House Mafia contacted Alesso and asked if he wanted to work together. Ingrosso introduced him to DJing and helped him with the production of tracks.
Since that time, Ingrosso has acted as a mentor for Alesso, who referred to the elder Swede as a "big brother."
Despite having learned to DJ in 2011, Alesso made his debut on DJ Magazine's list of the top 100 DJs at number 70 in that same year.
One of the first songs Alesso produced with Sebastian Ingrosso was a 2011 track named "Calling" that reached number 2 on the Beatport charts. The song would later be renamed "Calling (Lose My Mind)" with an additional feature from Ryan Tedder. Alesso's 2011 remix of "Pressure" by Nadia Ali premiered at the #1 spot on The Hype Machine and was one of the most played EDM songs of 2011.
From that point on, his popularity continued to rise. MTV named him one of the "EDM Rookies to Watch in 2012", and he recorded a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in March 2012. He played for a crowd of 60,000 at Creamfields, and accompanied Madonna on her MDNA World Tour at select European shows. By the end of 2012, Alesso had released another original mix called "Years" featuring Matthew Koma that performed well in the United Kingdom. He was ranked 20th on the list of the top 100 DJs of 2012 by DJ Magazine.
By 2013, Alesso had played at music festivals like Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, and Tomorrowland. He released a remix of "If I Lose Myself" by OneRepublic that was nominated for Grammy and garnered almost a million listens on SoundCloud in a relatively short time. In a collaboration with Calvin Harris and Hurts, Alesso released "Under Control" which racked up 88 million views. In 2013, he achieved his highest ranking on the list of the top 100 DJs at number 13.
2014–2015: Def Jam Recordings and Forever
In July 2014, Alesso signed with Def Jam Recordings, becoming only the second EDM producer to sign with the label (after Afrojack). He debuted a new track called "Tear the Roof Up", which was named a "Future Exclusive" by Zane Lowe. The music video for "Tear The Roof Up" was released exclusively through Snapchat in September 2014. He embarked on his "Heroes Tour", named after his single "Heroes (We Could Be)" featuring Tove Lo.
During the tour, Alesso teamed up with Chime for Change, a global charity that seeks to "improve the lives of women around the world." Alesso's involvement with the charity has raised over $50,000 as of October 2014. His debut studio album was originally set to be released in the first quarter of 2015, but was later released on 22 May 2015. It includes both "Heroes (We Could Be)" and "Tear the Roof Up".
The single "Heroes (We Could Be)" was officially released on 15 December 2014. His new single, titled "Cool" and featuring Roy English, premiered on 13 February 2015, on BBC Radio 1. The track, which samples Kylie Minogue's "Get Outta My Way", was officially released in Europe on 16 February 2015 and in North America on 17 February 2015.
2016–present: Standalone singles
On 30 September 2016, his new version of "I Wanna Know" featuring Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai was officially released. Alesso and Tsai closed International Music Summit with a discussion of what it takes to bridge the gap between East and West in electronic music. On 1 October 2016, Alesso and Tsai performed the single "I Wanna Know" and a remix version of Tsai's hit "Play" together at the Storm Music Festival in Shanghai. On 4 October 2016, it was announced that Alesso would be releasing a new version of the song "Years", collaborating with K-pop band Exo's member, Chen. The song was released on 7 October through SM Station. On 7 October 2016, Alesso premiered a new single, co-produced by Dillon Francis, called "Take My Breath Away" during Ultra Music Festival Taiwan. The single was later released on 21 October 2016.
On 8 September 2017, Hailee Steinfeld released her new song "Let Me Go" which is a collaboration between Alesso, Watt, and Florida Georgia Line. On 13 October 2017, Alesso released his new single "Is That for Me" which is a collaboration with Brazilian singer Anitta.
In 2018, Alesso went on his European Tour, highlighted by his closing performance at the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Electric Zoo later that year, Alesso is invited to be the headliner along with Tiesto.
In August 2018, Alesso performed on ABC's Good Morning America's summer concert series where he debuted his new single, "Remedy". The concert was held in New York City's Central Park while Alesso was joined by singer Conor Maynard for the song's performance. Remedy reached number one on the US Dance Airplay chart.
In October 2018, Alesso played three back to back sold-out shows at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Previously in the year he also performed shows in Brooklyn and San Francisco.
Alesso's final single release of 2018 was "Tilted Towers", made in partnership with video game streamer Ninja and was debuted live on Twitch where it was watched by over fifty thousand fans. The song's name is based on a popular map in the video game Fortnite, which Alesso and Ninja live streamed playing together to promote the track's release.
He was also featured in Netflix's 'Vai Anitta' docu-series, which follows the life of fellow Shots Studios' superstar, Anitta. An episode of the series focuses on their collaborative single "Is That for Me" and the subsequent music video shot in the Amazon jungle.
Alesso finished off his year with a New Year's Eve performance at Miami's Fontainebleau Resort. He co-headlined the show with Colombian reggaeton star J Balvin where the two played at the venue's poolside.
On 29 January 2019, it was announced that Alesso will perform at the Indy 500 Snake Pit on 26 May 2019, along with Skrillex, Illenium, and Chris Lake. Previous performers have included: Axwell Λ Ingrosso, deadmau5, Diplo, GRiZ, Zedd, Marshmello, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, Kaskade, Hardwell, Dillon Francis, and Zeds Dead. On 22 February 2019, he performed at the concert Venezuela Live Aid alongside influencers Lele Pons and Juanpa Zurita to help raise funds to fight Venezuelan humanitarian crisis.
In November 2020, Alesso performed at Road to Ultra Taiwan, one of the few major music events still taking place in 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
In June 2023, Alesso played Heroes (We Could Be) at the 2023 UEFA Champions League final.
In other media
One of the heists in the popular video game Payday 2 has the players robbing a vault during an Alesso concert. The heist, named The Alesso Heist, was released on 21 May 2015. The music played during the concert are two of Alesso's own tracks, Payday and Profondo.
Style
Alesso is renowned for his methods of utilizing melodic vibes in his productions along which he also alternates between his rave oriented productions. Productions include "Clash" and "Tear the Roof Up" fit with his graveled rave style, while his other melodically rich counterpart include productions such as "Years" (featuring Matthew Koma), "Heroes" (featuring Tove Lo), and his collaboration with Dirty South and Ruben Haze – "City of Dreams". Some considered him to be the next generation in Swedish music after Swedish House Mafia and Avicii.

}}Boards.ie''' is a large Internet forum in Ireland.
the site had more than 360,000 members, 3,200,000 threads and 64 million posts. A wide variety of topics from entertainment (e.g. music, radio television, films) to jobs to politics to bereavement and to personal relationships are widely discussed, mostly from an Irish perspective. It also has sections ("forums") for games and puzzles. Participation in the forums requires free registration.
History
In 1998, John "Cloud" Breslin created a single forum to enable discussion amongst Irish users of the id Software game Quake, while he was a postgraduate student at the National University of Ireland, Galway. This forum was part of the Irish Games Network's quake.ie site, and utilized "Matt's WWWBoard" software. The site gained in popularity until the size of its threads exceeded the capacity of the software. Breslin came into contact with Tom Murphy, who had been administrating a Quake-related forum called Quakapalooza, utilizing Murphy's ASP software. Some non-gaming related forums were added to the service, and the retitled "Cloud Boards" began using the Ultimate Bulletin Board software. Murphy proposed a more general (not just Quake-related) forum, dedicated to general Irish issues in 1999, and considered the name boards.ie to be a more useful and desired domain.
In 2000, Cloud Boards was then rebranded for a more general audience. Limitations in what organizations could register prevented private individuals from registering vanity or custom domains. Breslin had previously been unsuccessful in registering the domain cloud.ie with the Irish domain registry. Murphy entered a bet with Breslin that he could successfully register a domain for a rebranded web forum. Murphy renamed his company Spin Solutions to Boards for a day in order to trick the system, registered the paperwork with the Irish domain registrar for boards.ie, and was granted the domain.
In 2003, boards.ie achieved one million posts to its forums.
In 2007, the boards.ie Ltd. company acquired the rights to boards.us and other domains from Breslin.
In 2008, boards.ie hired its first full-time developer. For the 10th anniversary of boards.ie's first post, the complete data set of its discussions with semantic markup (see SIOC) was made available to researchers, and a competition looking for interesting creations based on this data was launched. Later that year in August, boards.ie saw its first shareholding investment from Daft Media Ltd.
Structure
The site is majority owned by Distilled Media Ltd with a minority stake held by some of the original company founders, who delegate administrative and editorial control over the site to hundreds of unpaid moderators.
Currently, Tom Murphy is operating as acting managing director after the departure of the previous managing director, Gerry Shanahan, in February 2009. There are over 1,350 forums, public and private.
It is operated by Boards.ie Limited, an Irish Commercial Company, more specifically in the same headquarters of Daft.ie (DAFT MEDIA LIMITED), in Golden Lane, Dublin 8, both of which are owned by the Distilled Media Group. Boards.ie Limited is considered a small company, since its balance sheet total does not exceed 4.4million euro, and is registered as a commercial company involved in "computer and related activities." Boards.ie Ltd was set up on Mon the 24th of Jan 2000 in Dublin 8.
Boards.ie started life as a forum for the computer game, Quake, in 1998. It was registered as a company two years later. In 2008, it was considered one of the largest indigenous Irish websites. However, its latest accounts show it had accumulated losses of €445,000 and rising, dropping more than €100,000 in those 12 months alone. It also had a hole of €65,000 in its balance sheet, a full four years after Daft got involved.

Florian (; 250 – 304 AD) was a Christian holy man and the patron saint of chimney sweeps; soapmakers, and firefighters. His feast day is 4 May. Florian is also the patron saint of Poland, the city of Linz, Austria, and Upper Austria, jointly with Leopold III, Margrave of Austria.
Life
Florian was born around 250 AD in the ancient Roman city of Aelium Cetium, present-day Sankt Pölten, Austria. He joined the Roman Army and advanced in the ranks, rising to commander of the imperial army in the Roman province of Noricum. In addition to his military duties, he was also responsible for organizing and leading firefighting brigades. Florian organized and trained an elite group of soldiers whose sole duty was to fight fires.
During the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians, reports reached Rome that Florian was not enforcing the proscriptions against Christians in his territory. Aquilinus was sent to investigate these reports. When Aquilinus ordered Florian to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods in accordance with Roman religion, Florian refused. Florian was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Standing on the funeral pyre, Florian is reputed to have challenged the Roman soldiers to light the fire, saying "If you wish to know that I am not afraid of your torture, light the fire, and in the name of the Lord I will climb onto it." Apprehensive of his words, the soldiers did not burn Florian, but executed him by drowning him in the Enns River with a millstone tied around his neck instead.
His body was later retrieved by Christians and buried at an Augustinian monastery near Lorch. Later a woman named Valeria had a vision in which she saw him; Florian, in this vision, declared his intent to be buried in a more appropriate location.
Veneration
Florian is very widely venerated in Central Europe. The Austrian town of Sankt Florian is named after him. According to legend, his body was interred at St. Florian Monastery, around which the town grew up.
Florian was adopted as patron saint of Poland in 1184, when Pope Lucius III consented to the request of Prince Casimir II to send relics of Florian to that country. Kraków thus claims some of his relics.
A statue of Florian by Josef Josephu was unveiled in Vienna in 1935. It stood at the main firehouse of Vienna, in the city's main square, Am Hof. After the firehouse was bombed in 1945 during World War II the statue was moved on to the Fire Brigade Museum (Wiener Feuerwehrmuseum).
Seeking the sponsorship of a helpful saint was and still is a part of the namegiving practice in Catholic areas. In the southern, Catholic, parts of the German Empire (mainly present Bavaria and Austria), peasants regularly have used the name, Florian, as one of the given names for at least one of their male children: to secure the saint's patronage against fire. Hence the given name is still widespread in these areas.
In Austria and Germany, fire services use Florian in radio communications as universal call sign for fire stations and fire trucks. The call sign Florentine for firefighting-related, handheld radio equipment is also derived, somewhat inaccurately, from that usage.
Patronage
Florian is a patron saint of Upper Austria and Poland; also firefighters, chimneysweeps, and brewers. Florian is associated with brewers because of a legendary incident in which he miraculously stopped a fire with a single pitcher of water. That is why he is often depicted holding a pitcher. Florian is also the patron of chimney sweeps, Austria, Poland and soap boilers.
Florian is invoked against fires, floods, lightning, and the pains of Purgatory.
A famous St. Florian's Church is located in Kraków, Poland. His veneration has been particularly intense since 1528, when a fire burned the neighborhood without destroying the church.
In contemporary culture
The "Florian Principle" (known in German language areas as "Sankt-Florians-Prinzip") is named after a somewhat ironic prayer to Saint Florian: "O heiliger Sankt Florian, verschon' mein Haus, zünd' and're an," equivalent to "O Holy St. Florian, please spare my house, set fire to another one". This saying is used in German much like the English "not in my back yard", when the speaker wants to point out that some person tries to get out of an unpleasant situation by an action that will put others in that very same situation.
In Germany, "Florian" is the call sign for fire engines.
The protagonist in Felix Salten's novel Florian: The Emperor’s Stallion was named after Florian, as the animal was born on 4 May 1901 in Lipizza, Austria.
Alfred Schnittke's Symphony No. 2, is subtitled "St. Florian".
In multiple cities across Slovakia, streets are named after Saint Florian, often in correlation with local fire departments. Florian Street (Floriánska ulica) occurs in historic boroughs of major cities: currently in Košice (Staré Mesto) and also formerly in Bratislava (Staré Mesto).

Cultural Centre Valve is a cultural center in the Pokkinen neighbourhood in Oulu, Finland.
The cultural center provides spaces for variety of cultural activities. There are two theatre stages, a cinema, galleries, workshops and other spaces in the building. The Valve has got the second largest film library in Finland. The film library as well as the cinema Studio are operated by the Oulu Film Centre. Northern Photographic Centre has got its office and galleries in the cultural center.
History of the building
The Great Oulu Fire of 1882 destroyed the building located on the lot of the cultural center. A tradesman K.J. Granberg built the first two floors of the building after the fire in 1883–1884 according to the plans by architect Johan Lybeck. The city of Oulu bought the building after Granberg was declared bankrupt. The city hired the architect office Grahn, Hedman & Wasastjerna to plan an expansion of the building to be the new city hall. The building was widened and raised with one floor in 1893–1894. In addition to the municipal offices the building also hosted the Trade and Industry school of Oulu and the police station. In the 1950s prison cells were built near the building and from 1953 the building was entirely turned into police station.
The police station was relocated in the 1980s. The building was renovated as a youth and cultural center called NuKu by the city of Oulu in 1987–1989. The prison cells were replaced with a new modern building in 1992. In 2007 the youth activities moved into the nearby buildings, and the center was renamed to Valve.

Šinahuttum, later known as Sanahuitta, was a Bronze Age Assyrian city believed to have been northeast of Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Empire in the late Bronze Age, near modern Boğazkale in Turkey. The city is mentioned in Assyrian sources 14 times and was noted for its donkey market and wool exchange.
Location
The likely location of Šinahuttum was identified by historians using statistical methods to interrogate the records of merchants found at Kaneš near the modern Turkish city of Kayseri.
The site in early times
It was mentioned first as Sinahuttum in the Assyrian Colony text C18, along with other cities as Ankuwa and Kapitra which rebelled against Hattusa in Late Bronze Age period. It was part of the Hittite kingdom, as is commented in text C17.
In early times, king Labarna I was the sovereign of the small city-state of Kussara, who during his campaigns to enlarge his territory went to the northeast of Kussara and conquered the city-state of Sanahuitta. Then he set up one of his sons as governor of the city, but the inhabitants rebelled and elected Papahdilmah as their authority. After Papahdilmah took the throne of Samahuitta in a coup, the Hittite state was divided in two, with one faction ruling from Samahuitta and the other controlling the southern territory from Kussara. Sanahuitta was apparently independent until Hattusili I, in his first campaign, sacked the surrounding territory, but not conquered the city itself, what he did three years later, after a siege of six months.

Jean-François Bayart, born March 20, 1950, in Boulogne-Billancourt, is a French political scientist and former director of research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research. His specialty is the comparative historical sociology of the state.
He is notably the author of several books on sub-Saharan Africa and the historicity of politics. Since 2015, he has been a professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.
He was the founder of the journal Politique africaine (in 1980–81), Critique internationale (in 1998) and of the collection “Recherches internationales” (in 1998, published by Éditions Karthala). He was the director of the Centre d'études et de recherche internationales (CERI) of the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po) (from 1994 to 2000) and is the founding president of the Fund for the Analysis of Political Societies (FASOPO). (since 2003).
He is a commentator on international politics in various media, notably Mediapart. He was a permanent consultant for the Policy Planning Staff (France) of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1990–2005), and member of the 2013 French White Paper on Defence and National Security (2012–2013). He is the scientific director of the Focus of the Rencontres des cinémas d'Europe at the Maison de l'image d'Aubenas (since 2010). He taught at the Paris Institute of Political Studies, at the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, at the University of Lausanne and at the University of Turin.
Biography
Jean-François Bayart graduated from the Paris Institute of Political Studies in 1970. He obtained a doctorate in political science in 1977 under the supervision of Pierre Alexandre and Serge Hurtig.
With his first academic publication, L'État au Cameroun (1979), Jean-François Bayart distanced himself from the schools of thought that then dominated political science – on the one hand, the theories of modernization and political development, of North American origin, on the other, the so-called dependency school, of Latin American origin. The systems of inequality and domination inherent in pre-colonial African societies have their own historical dynamics. Consequently, postcolonial national constructions cannot be understood from the sole point of view of their relations with the Western powers and their position in the world economy, Bayart argued. African states must therefore be analyzed in their historicity, which implies analyzing the power relations within contemporary African societies - in particular the role played by the dominant class in its societies, so as to update all the parameters. that influence the present and the future of these States, he posited.
From this perspective, Jean-François Bayart has developed original concepts, widely used in the field of social sciences, such as the concepts of:
politics of the belly;
Rhizome state;
extraversion strategy;
reciprocal assimilation of the elites
The same kind of misunderstanding arose during the publication of The Criminalization of the State in Africa (1997, in collaboration with Stephen Ellis and Béatrice Hibou), related to a problematic of historical sociology, and whose analysis was limited to a handful of country.
That is despite the fact that the previous year Jean-François Bayart had criticized culturalism in L'Illusion identitaire (1996), a work in which he took the opposite view of Samuel Huntington's thesis on the “clash of civilizations” and developed a problematic allowing to think of the consubstantial relations between culture and politics “without being a culturalist”, much as ten years before he had sought to think of the dependence of Africa “without being dependent”. Beyond the debates and polemics of the moment, this book was in the same vein of "The State in Africa: the politics of the belly", which refined the issues of the enunciation of politics and extraversion that he had proposed in the 1980s, all the while insisting on the central role of the imaginary in the production of the political and on its relation to the practices of material culture.
The works of Jean-François Bayart in the 1980s insisted on the need to apprehend the political "from the bottom" by drawing attention to the "popular modes of political action", notions that he had put forth in L'État au Cameroun (1979) and which he repeated in articles from Politique africaine and the Revue française de science politique (some of which were collected in "Le Politique par le bas en Afrique noire", published in collaboration with Achille Mbembe and Comi Toulabor in 1992, and reissued in 2008 in a new expanded version). This problematic of "politics from below" was moreover in the spirit of the times since it joined in many ways the concomitant work of the Alltagsgeschichte (the history of everyday life) in Germany, Indian subaltern studies or even by the French historian Michel de Certeau, who participated on several occasions in Jean-François Bayart's seminar at the Center d'études et de recherches international.
After having devoted most of his time to the direction of this think tank from 1994 to 2000, and having refused the scientific direction of the National Foundation of Political Sciences, proposed to him by its administrator, Richard Descoings, Jean-François Bayart set about to write a diptych that crowned his previous work. In "Global Subjects: A Political Critique of Globalization" (2004), he returned to the question of the historicity of the state by showing that the universalization of the latter was a dimension of globalization which had prevailed for two centuries, unlike what international relations the theory claimed. He then introduced to his reflection the concept of "national-liberalism", which he subsequently took up again in a polemical mode in a collection of militant articles, not without specifying that national-liberalism has the same kind of relationship with liberalism as national socialism with socialism (Sortir du national-libéralisme. Political sketches of the years 2004–2012, 2012). In addition, he analyzed, in Global Subjects, the processes of subjectivation that produce globalization, at the interface of material culture and techniques of the body, and which prohibit seeing in globalization only an experience of alienation.
In "Republican Islam. Ankara, Tehran, Dakar" (2010), Bayart again showed, with three supporting case studies, the inanity of the culturalist explanation of politics and replaced it with a sociological interpretation in terms of the formation of the state, insisting once again on its historicity, on the connections between national or imperial trajectories, on the interweaving of the durations constitutive of the political, on the importance of subjectivation practices.
Beyond its monographic scope, this book was implicitly presented as a manifesto of comparative historical sociology of politics, like the small essay "Les Études postcoloniales, un carnaval académique (2010). In particular, Bayart stood against the current of political science known as "transitology" by refining the concept of "Thermidorian situation" that he had advanced in 1991 with regard to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and substituting it to that of the "transition" to democracy and the market economy in the case of regimes resulting from revolutions.
Jean-François Bayart centers his approach on the actual practices of the actors, on ideologies or cultural representations. He questions the paradoxes of history, by insisting on the inseparability of coercion and hegemony, by emphasizing the lived experience of the actors. His method is distinguished by a study that ranges from empirical observation to problematization and theorization. One of the major themes running through his books – besides that of historicity – relates to the incompleteness of political societies and the constitutive ambivalence of social relations.
Jean-François Bayart has long criticized France's foreign policy, believing that it did not sufficiently serve third countries, in particular the former French colonies in Africa. He is also in favor of a total opening of the borders and denounces the efforts of Europe aimed at stemming African immigration, even calling for punishing European leaders, guilty in his eyes of having entered into cooperation agreements with Libya on this topic.
He is also opposed to the application of New Public Management to the fields of higher education and research.
He has founded two journals, the first at the age of thirty, and a collection of books, as well as the Political Societies Analysis Fund. Director (1994–2000) of the Center for International Studies and Research (CERI), his work has promoted its international influence. The functioning of CERI was de-bureaucratized at his initiative. In 2010, he created the Focus of the Rencontres des cinémas d'Europe, at the Maison de l'Image in Aubenas.
According to Morgane Govoreanu, one of the peculiarities of his professional career is to have always distinguished the roles he it imposed on him, and of which he never failed to underline the specific logics: those of the researcher, of the teacher, the administrator, the expert-consultant, the militant commentator.

The is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) on the Toei Oedo Line in Tokyo, Japan.
Following testing of a two-car prototype in the late 1980s, the 12-000 series was introduced into service in December 1991. A total of 53 eight-car 12-000 series sets were built between 1990 and 2000 by Nippon Sharyo and Hitachi.
Formation
Each M1 car is fitted with a lozenge-type pantograph.
Car 5 is designated as a mildly-air-conditioned car.
Interior
History
Two prototype cars, numbered 12-001 and 12-002, were delivered from Tokyu Car Corporation in April 1986. These cars had stainless steel bodies and were originally built with conventional traction motors. The cars were converted to linear motor propulsion in 1987, with testing conducted on a special test track at Magome Depot. Following successful testing, it was announced in December 1988 that linear motor propulsion would be used for the new Toei Ōedo Line (then Line 12) under construction in Tokyo.
The first production trains were delivered as six-car sets from Nippon Sharyo to Hikarigaoka Depot from September 1990 for testing on the line between and before entering revenue service in December 1991. By 2001, a total of 424 vehicles would be built by Nippon Sharyo and Hitachi, formed as 53 8-car sets. The production trains featured aluminium bodies, and the first six sets were painted.
The last remaining first-batch trains (sets 01 to 06) began withdrawal in June 2016. The final first-batch train was retired from service on 30 June 2016.
Preserved examples
The two prototype cars, 12-001 and 12-002 are preserved at Chihaya Flower Park in Toshima, Tokyo.

The second Stresemann cabinet, headed by Chancellor Gustav Stresemann of the German People's Party (DVP), was the ninth democratically elected government of the Weimar Republic. It took office on 6 October 1923 when it replaced the first Stresemann cabinet, which had resigned on 3 October over internal disagreements related to increasing working hours in vital industries above the eight-hour per day norm. The new cabinet was a majority coalition of four parties from the moderate left to centre-right.
During its brief time in office, the cabinet successfully introduced the new currency that ended the disastrous period of hyperinflation. It was confronted with the resumption of war reparations payments following the end of passive resistance to the occupation of the Ruhr and faced down potentially separatist state governments in Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria.
Stresemann's second cabinet resigned on 23 November 1923 after the Social Democrats (SPD) withdrew from the coalition over the government's handling of the separatist movements. After losing a confidence vote in the Reichstag, the cabinet resigned and after a short caretaker period was replaced on 30 November by the first cabinet of Wilhelm Marx of the Centre Party.
Establishment
The first Stresemann cabinet resigned late on 3 October 1923 due to disagreement between the political parties over the extent to which the planned enabling act should give the government the power to change the length of the working day by decree. The grand coalition of the German People's Party (DVP), Social Democrats (SPD), Centre Party and German Democratic Party (DDP) was not replaced by a new configuration that included the right-wing German National People's Party (DNVP), which would have been consistent with the earlier decisions taken by the DVP Reichstag members. Since the majority of the DVP wanted to keep Stresemann in office and it proved impossible to form a different coalition under him, the original parties once again tried to form a government. Hans von Raumer (DVP) and Rudolf Hilferding (SPD) did not return, as demanded by the DVP. Raumer had resigned on 2 October, prior to the whole cabinet's resignation the next day. To replace Hilferding at the Ministry of Finance, Stresemann considered the future Reichsbank president Hjalmar Schacht but had to drop the idea after Schacht's actions during the occupation of Belgium during World War I became the subject of criticism. Hans Luther was then switched from Food and Agriculture to Finance. Von Raumer's successor was Joseph Koeth, an independent ex-officer and head of the former Ministry for Economic Demobilization. , acting Minister for the Occupied Territories, wanted to resign but was persuaded to remain in office. Finally, on 22 October, Gerhard von Kanitz, another independent who was close to the DVP and to landed interests within the DNVP, was appointed to Food and Agriculture.
Members
The members of the cabinet were as follows:
In office
The enabling act that was originally discussed in the first Stresemann cabinet was passed on 13 October. It gave the government the powers to implement by decree the measures it thought necessary to stop the ongoing hyperinflation. The most significant of the measures was the successful replacement of the all but worthless Papiermark with the stable Rentenmark on 15 November 1923. Due to a lack of gold reserves, the new currency was backed by a special forced mortgage placed on all land in Germany used for business or agricultural purposes.
The cabinet had to deal with several crucial issues that threatened Germany's integrity. The most pressing was the occupation of the Ruhr, which was closely connected to the issue of war reparations and a major cause of the economic collapse and hyperinflation brought on by the policy of passive resistance against the French and Belgian intervention.
Stresemann had announced the end of the Ruhr resistance on 26 September, but industrial production did not resume immediately. The second Stresemann cabinet was closely involved in negotiations that resulted in the , a series of treaties signed between November 1923 and September 1924 that ended the ruinous period of work stoppages in heavy industry which had resulted from passive resistance. Since the payments to the occupying nations did not reflect just a resumption of reparation payments but also included compensation for the occupation costs, they were seen as marking the failure of passive resistance and, ultimately, a capitulation by Germany to French demands.
During the occupation of the Ruhr, the French actively encouraged separatism in the Rhineland, which resulted in the establishment of two short-lived separatist and pro-French entities, the Rhenish Republic and the . Since they did not enjoy widespread support among the German population, they soon collapsed. The British government also resolutely opposed France's attempt to extend its sphere of influence permanently to all of Germany west of the Rhine.
Finally, there were regional challenges to the government's authority from the left in Thuringia and Saxony and from the right in Bavaria. On the left, the Social Democrats under Minister Presidents Erich Zeigner in Saxony and in Thuringia allied with the Communist Party (KPD) and made use of the economic crisis and the threat of right-wing counter-revolution in Bavaria (see below) to set up armed militia called the Proletarian Hundreds that soon numbered around 100,000 men. It brought on a confrontation with the government in Berlin, which asked President Ebert to declare martial law and set into motion a process of military action called a Reichsexekution against the state governments of Saxony and Thuringia. On 23 October, Otto Gessler ordered the Reichswehr to move into both states. In Thuringia, the militias were disbanded and the communist ministers resigned. In Saxony, however, there was armed resistance, and Zeigner refused to remove the Communist ministers from his cabinet. Stresemann then appointed Rudolf Heinze Reich commissioner for Saxony. Heinze had the state government deposed and arrested.
In Bavaria – a hotbed of right-wing opposition against the democratic government in Berlin and home to numerous activists including Erich Ludendorff, Gustav von Kahr and Adolf Hitler – Minister President Eugen von Knilling refused to accept the authority of Stresemann's cabinet and appointed von Kahr as state commissioner, in effect establishing a right-wing dictatorship in Bavaria. It also declared martial law and considered a march on Berlin to depose the government. Local commanders disobeyed orders from Hans von Seeckt, the Reichswehr's commander in chief. Since von Seeckt refused to use military force against the Bavarian government, there was no repeat of the events in Saxony.
On 8/9 November, Hitler launched his Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, but von Kahr failed to side with him and had the attempted government takeover put down by local troops and police.
Resignation
On 2 November, the Social Democrats decided to withdraw from the cabinet, thereby ending the grand coalition. The cause was the toppling and arrest in late October of the Social Democratic-Communist state government of Saxony, which had been executed by former vice-chancellor and minister of justice Rudolf Heinze of the DVP. The SPD resented the use of a member of the DVP to carry out the removal of the elected government. SPD Chairman Hermann Müller was willing to accept it on the condition that the Berlin government take similar drastic steps to deal with the right-wing state government of Bavaria. This became the official position of the SPD Reichstag membership on 31 October. The SPD also demanded the end of the state of emergency in Saxony. The latter demand was refused by the DDP and DVP ministers. In a stormy cabinet meeting on 2 November, the issue came to a head and the SPD ministers resigned the next day.
With the move of the SPD into opposition to the cabinet in early November, the government's period in office was limited to the time before the Reichstag was next in session. The president of the chamber scheduled a session for 20 November. Motions of no confidence against the cabinet were to be expected on that day. Stresemann decided to go on the offensive, and the DDP and DVP introduced a motion of confidence. It was voted down on 23 November by 231 to 151 with 7 abstentions. Since it was not a vote of no confidence in the sense of Article 54 of the Weimar Constitution, there was no legal obligation for the cabinet to resign. Due to the parliamentary realities, the second Stresemann cabinet resigned the same day. It remained in office as an acting government until the formation of the Marx cabinet on 30 November.

"Too Hotty" is a song released by American record label Quality Control and performed by American hip hop trio Migos featuring R&B singer Eurielle. It was written by the artists alongside Ryan Louder and producer Southside. It was released through Quality Control Music, Motown Records, and Capitol Records on May 26, 2017, as the lead single from Quality Control's compilation album, Control the Streets, Vol. 1 (2017). This was the label's debut single.
Background
The song was initially released as "To Hotty", and was credited to American hip hop trio Migos, composed of the three recording artists. It was later unpublished from SoundCloud. On August 25, 2017, it was re-released as "Too Hotty" and rebranded as a Quality Control track. The song's title was inspired by WWE wrestler Scotty 2 Hotty.
Critical reception
Rap-Up described the song as "head-knocking" and "high-energy", they felt it "featured a haunting vocal sample". Peter Berry of XXL wrote that the song featured "icy cold production" from Southside, and "Offset delivered yet another killer verse with a machine gun flow that rides the beat perfectly". Max Weinstein of the same publication regarded it as a "dreamy song". Phil Witmer of Vice opined that the song is "blessed with an unearthly beat and the endless applicability of the titular figure's name to rap lyrics". Navjosh of HipHop-N-More called it a "typical sounding track".
Music video
The music video was released on August 25, 2017, and was directed by Daps and Migos. In the beginning, Offset can be seen surrounded by candles in a house, intercut with scenes of a luxury sports car. The scene later shifts to the woods as he continues rapping. Quavo later appears in a warehouse as a mechanic. Lastly, Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff can be seen in a parking lot with flames sparking around, as Takeoff finishes the song.

The Glennie School (formerly the Glennie Memorial School) is a girls' school in Newtown, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. It caters for primary and secondary schooling from K-12. It has boarding house facilities and is owned and operated by the Anglican Church.
Information
In 2018, The Glennie School had a student body of 773 students, 3.6 percent of which were of Aboriginal descent. 160 students were borders.
History
The first Anglican priest on the Darling Downs was Benjamin Glennie, who spent much of his life raising funds to establish churches and schools for the Darling Downs, including growing and selling vegetables in his garden. He accomplished the construction of four churches in his lifetime but did not establish the schools. However, at his death, he had purchased a block of land in Newtown, Toowoomba and accrued a sum of £1000 towards the construction of the schools. After Glennie's death in April 1900, the Anglican Synod in June 1900 decided to establish a number of Glennie Memorial Schools in memory of Glennie and his work, opening the Glennie Memorial Fund to attract public subscriptions.
Although the original plans were to establish both a school for boys and a school for girls, funds were harder to raise than expected due to the drought on the Darling Downs. In June 1907, the Anglican Church decided to proceed with the establishment of a girls' school because there was an £800 bequest which would lapse if construction did not commence by end of 1907. The choice of a school for girls was made because the church felt this was the area of greatest need as there were a number of secondary schools for boys already available. The initial plan was to hire a house to commence the school while the school building already designed by Toowoomba architect Harry Marks was constructed.
The school was founded in 1908 on its present site as the Glennie Memorial School. The first school building was dedicated on 10 August 1910.

"Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man" is a 1977 hit song by country singer Lynn Anderson.
Best known for her Grammy Award-winning country and pop smash, "Rose Garden", from 1970, Lynn Anderson was one of country music's leading ladies throughout that decade. "Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man" was released and became a major hit on the country charts, peaking at number twelve, her first entry there since 1975.
The song's success was helped by exposure on an episode of the TV-series Starsky & Hutch that year, in which Anderson also guest starred as Sue Ann Granger. The song was very up-tempo and had an almost Disco beat. This was becoming fairly common at the time, country music had shifted towards more pop oriented songs; a movement in which Anderson was a key player for much of the decade. An album by the same name as the single was released mid-year of 1977.

Edgar Jonas Kaufmann (November 1, 1885 – April 15, 1955) was an American businessman and philanthropist who owned and directed Kaufmann's Department Store, in Pittsburgh. He is also known for commissioning two modern architectural masterpieces, Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs, designed by Richard Neutra.
Early life
Edgar Kaufmann was born to a Jewish family on November 1, 1885, the eldest son of Morris Kaufmann, who was born in Viernheim, Germany. His uncles, Jacob and Isaac Kaufmann, founded Kaufmann's department store in 1871.
Kaufmann graduated from Shady Side Academy, a boarding school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
Commissions
In Pittsburgh, Edgar Kaufmann generously financed the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera Company, and donated US$1.5 million for the erection of the Civic Arena. Improving the infrastructure of the city was one of his concerns; another was art patronage. In 1926, Kaufmann commissioned American artist Boardman Robinson to create a series of nine murals for his flagship department store in Pittsburgh on the history of trade, completed with automobile paint. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed his executive offices on the top floor, now installed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England. Edgar Kaufmann was one of the city's leading citizens who welcomed Albert Einstein when he visited Pittsburgh in 1934. Einstein was later a house guest at Fallingwater.
Architect Benno Janssen designed several structures for Kaufmann including his Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania, residence (1924–25) known as La Tourelle. The Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce in 1930 awarded an "Excellence in Design" for the facades. Additionally, Janssen designed Kaufmann's Department Store in Pittsburgh.
Landmark residences
Edgar J. Kaufmann and his wife, Liliane, commissioned two of the most recognized landmarks of 20th-century American modernism architecture; Pennsylvania's Fallingwater and the California desert's Kaufmann Desert House. Fallingwater is a National Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places, and consistently ranks high in the American Institute of Architects "List of 100 most popular buildings in America".
The first was designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935, a distinctive country house over the creek at the family's natural Laurel Highlands property southeast of Pittsburgh. The result was the architectural landmark Fallingwater, perched over the Bear Run waterfalls at Mill Run in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. A unique designer/patron relationship evolved between Wright and Kaufmann during the complex design-construction process. The success of the house resurrected Wright's career after the Great Depression.
The second landmark house is the Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs, California, designed by architect Richard Neutra completed in 1946. The photographer Julius Shulman created an iconic photograph of it in 1947. In the 1990s, the residence was extensively restored to the Kaufmann's era by architects Marmol Radziner + Associates, and is a City of Palm Springs Class One Historic Landmark, although its application for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places was denied.
Personal life
In 1909, he married Lillian Sarah Kaufmann (d. 1952) in New York City because they could not marry in Pennsylvania as they were first cousins. Lillian was the daughter of Edgar's uncle, Isaac Kaufmann. They had one child, Edgar Jonas Kaufmann, Jr. (1910–1989).
In 1954, after the death of his first wife by an overdose of Seconal, he married his secretary and long-time mistress, Grace A. Stoops.
Edgar J. Kaufmann died of bone cancer in 1955 in Palm Springs, California, after seven months of marriage to Stoops. With his first wife, he is entombed in the family mausoleum at Fallingwater. His son's ashes were spread on the property. The majority of his and his wife's estate was left to the Edgar J. Kaufmann Charitable Fund, which concentrates efforts on improving the lives of Pittsburgh's residents. His son Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. inherited Fallingwater, and in 1963 donated it, along with the pristine natural mountain acreage, to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Both are open to the public: the house for tours, and the preserve for walks and hiking.
The office of Edgar J. Kaufmann from the Kaufmann store in Pittsburgh was given by his son Edgar Jr. to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 1974.

San Potito is a church in Naples dedicated to Potitus, who was tortured to death in Epirus or Ascoli in 166. It is located on the San Potito hill on via Tommaso Salvatori.
It was built in the first half of the 17th century in the Mannerist style to plans by Pietro de Marino. It was intended as the monastery church for a community of Benedictines which had initially been founded as Basilians. The monastery buildings were restored in 1780. During the French invasion of Italy the monastery's lands and goods were confiscated and the monks expelled in 1809 under Joachim Murat, with some of them moving into the church of San Gregorio Armeno. The monastery buildings were turned into infantry barracks and later carabinieri barracks. The church is still deconsecrated and closed to the public.
It has a single nave with three chapels on each side. The interior is richly decorated with stucco, though its main features are its 18th-century high altar. The high altarpiece is surmounted by three paintings - Niccolò de Simone's 1654 Saint Potitus pierced by a burning nail making the emperor Antoninus share his pain, flanked by Giacinto Diano's 1784 Saint Potitus felling an idol and Saint Potitus curing the madness of Antoninus' daughter Agnes. Diano also painted a 1791 depiction of the Immaculate Conception in the third chapel on the right, whilst in the first chapel on the right is Luca Giordano's 1663-65 Our Lady of the Rosary. A 17th-century Calvary is in the first chapel on the left, the second chapel on the left has stucco depicting Saint Cajetan and the third chapel on the left has a painting of Our Lady with Saints Antony the Great and Roch by Andrea Vaccaro. The sacristy contains two paintings by Pacecco de Rosa and Domenico Mondo.

The Biblioteca Comunale Sperelliana (est. 1666) is the main public library, since 2010 housed in the former convent of San Pietro located on Via di Fonte Avellana #8, in Gubbio, province of Perugia, Italy.
This library originated on 10 June 1666 with the donation to the city by the bishop of Gubbio, Alessandro Sperelli of his collection of over 7000 volumes. He also provided funds for its maintenance and cataloguing. It was initially housed in the Palazzo Pretorio, Gubbio. The collection grew with the addition of other endowments, including the archival collections of Vincenzo Armanni, the book collections of abott Luigi Ranghiasci, Bonfatti, Mantovani, and of Pietro and Oderigi Lucarelli. Additional books derived from the 19th-century suppression of religious institutions. In 1974, the collection was moved to the former convent of Santo Spirito in via Cairoli. In 2010, it was moved to its present location in the former Olivetan monastery of San Pietro.
Among the treasures of the collection are two 16th-century globes, both of the world and the sky, completed by Matthäus Greuter (1556 - 1638).

Tony Hwang (born September 17, 1964) is an American real estate agent and politician. A Republican, he is a member of the Connecticut State Senate, for the 28th District, which covers parts of Fairfield County. Previously, Hwang as a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives for the 134th District in the Connecticut General Assembly. Hwang became a state representative in 2008 and won re-election in 2010 and 2012. He was elected to the state Senate in 2014 and subsequently reelected. He is the assistant Senate Minority Leader.
Early life and education
Hwang was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan after his parents fled the Communist government in mainland China as teenagers and re-settled in Taiwan. The family immigrated to the United States when Hwang was approximately nine years old and settled in Syracuse, New York.
Hwang received a bachelor's degree in Labor Relations and Organizational Behavior from Cornell University.
Political career
Elections
Hwang worked for United Technologies before becoming a licensed realtor in Fairfield. He was a member of the Town of Fairfield representative town meeting from 2003 to 2009 before being elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives from the 134th District. In 2014, Hwang won election to the Connecticut Senate from the 28th State Senate District, defeating the Democratic nominee, state Representative Kim Fawcett of the 133rd State House District. As of the 2021 Connecticut Redistricting Project, the district includes Fairfield, Easton, Newtown, and most of Bethel
Hwang was endorsed by State Senator John McKinney. McKinney vacated the Senate seat to run for governor, but subsequently lost in the Republican primary to Thomas C. Foley.
In 2016, Hwang received re-election endorsements from Robert H. Steele, John Kasich, the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters, and the National Federation of Independent Business. During the 2016 election, he retained his seat as state senator for the 28th district, winning with over 60% of the vote; and defeating Democratic nominee Philip Dwyer.
In 2018, Hwang defeated Democratic nominee Michelle McCabe with 52% of the vote; in a rematch in 2020, Hwang defeated McCabe a second time with 51.7% of the vote.
In 2022, Hwang will face off against Tim Gavin, a 28-year-old Yale graduate and Army Veteran who decided to run due to Hwang's stances on various forms of voting.
At various points since 2013, Hwang has publicly considered running for statewide office, and in 2017 had an exploratory committee for governor. Thus far, Hwang has opted not to run for statewide office.
Tenure and political positions
In 2019, the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters gave Hwang a "lifetime score" of 88% and called him "a thoughtful voice on the environment and conservation," citing his advocacy for the Long Island Sound Blue Plan and State Water Plan. The group endorsed Hwang's campaign for the state Senate in 2014. In 2019, he supported a plastic bag ban.
The Hartford Courant described Hwang in 2019 as a moderate Republican. During the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, Hwang supported John Kasich, and was named Connecticut state chairman of Kasich's campaign. He hosted campaign events with Kasich in the state. Hwang opposed Donald Trump and condemned Trump's insults targeting women, minorities, immigrants, and persons with disabilities; Hwang said in October 2016: "Trump's comments are unacceptable under any circumstances. It perpetuates the potential cycle of violence. I can't say it strong enough that I condemn them. I have never supported him because of those comments."
As of 2020, Hwang is the ranking member of the state Senate committees on housing, higher education, public safety and security, and transportation. Hwang was a member of the Legislative Environment Committee in 2011 and 2012.
Hwang voted against a pro-net neutrality bill in 2018, arguing that the matter is a federal issue. Like most Connecticut Republican legislators, Hwang opposes the legalization of marijuana; he opposed proposals in 2019 to legalize, tax, and regulate recreational marijuana in Connecticut. He is an outspoken opponent of legalized gambling in Connecticut, and has opposed moves to allow additional casinos and other gambling businesses to operate in the state.
Controversies
Campaign spending and advertisement controversies
In 2014, the Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission investigated Hwang over an allegation of failure to disclose campaign purchases. The Commission authorized the investigation after reviewing complaints and submitted materials from Town of Fairfield's Democratic Town Committee. Hwang denied wrongdoing, and accused the Fairfield Democratic Town Committee as trying to distract the electorate.
In 2016, the State Elections Enforcement Commission fined Hwang $400 for violation of rules on campaign contribution limits.
Hwang spent $15,020 on advertising on place mats at a Connecticut restaurant chain. He purchased the ads with personal funds and was later reimbursed the cost by his political committee. Hwang initially did not disclose the reimbursement on his campaign disclosure filings. A local Democratic committee chairman filed an elections complaint against Hwang for the lapse in 2016. In December 2017, the state Elections Enforcement Commission ruled that the failure to disclosure was unintentional, and directed him to correct his filings. In January 2017, Hwang also reported spending $2,850 on "Wikipedia information management" services.
In 2018, some of Hwang's campaign signs included copyrighted art from the nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations Hate Has No Home Here and Ben's Bells, without permission from the groups. After the use of the art was reported, Hwang issued an apology, said that the use was unintentional, and removed the signs and text at issue.
Public Argument With High School Girl
On Election Day in 2019, a high school student volunteer argued with Hwang at Fairfield's District 1 polling place about socialism. The exchange eventually got heated and brought the student to tears, prompting a Facebook post from her mother that circulated on social media. Hwang later apologized to the student, citing he did not intend to hurt the students feelings, rather educate her on the topic.

Nadodrze (Polish pronunciation: ) is a housing estate in Wrocław, Poland, separated in 1991 from a larger district, Olin, which now lies to the east of it. It also borders Kleczkow to the north and the Old Town to the west. Nadodrze, known as Oder Suburb (German: Oder Vorstadt), was incorporated into the city in 1808, after the demolition of the city fortifications.
The neighborhood was a historically poor and dangerous area, but since 2005 it was redeveloped, and became known for its arts scene. It is sometimes compared to Berlin's Kreuzberg or Rome's Trastevere.
Location
Within the boundaries of Nadodrze, there is Kępa Mieszczańska island, and important objects of urban infrastructure: Wrocław Nadodrze train station, streetcar depot no. 2 at Słowiańska Street, and Wrocław Combined Heat and Power Plant. The seat of the Nadodrze Housing Estate Council is located at 43 Rydygiera St. In 2017, about 25 thousand people lived within the boundaries of Nadodrze. The district is one of the most densely populated areas in Wroclaw.
History and development
Nadodrze is known both for its historical kamienicas and for its industrial development. Soon after World War II and the transfer of the city to Poland, the demographic composition of the population changed. Richer residents began to settle elsewhere, leading to a gradual decline, an increase in poverty and crime, and infrastructural decay.
The revitalization of Nadodrze began only in 2005, and soon the neighborhood became the "symbol of Wrocław's revitalization". Dozens of historic houses, two main squares, schools, parks, and public spaces were renovated. Revitalization was also accompanied by the mass privatization of private apartments. Some researchers saw in the revitalization process a threat of gentrification. The city's program was criticized because it concentrated on cosmetic changes rather than attempts to improve the quality of life of the neighborhood's residents.
The Łokietka 5 – Infopunkt Nadodrze is a center for supporting activities for the development of Nadodrze. It deals with cultural initiatives, coordinates inhabitants and local authorities, and brings together various communities functioning in Nadodrze.
One of the new tourist attractions of Nadodrze is colorful courtyards at 14–16 Roosvelta Street. The work (niemural), which is a combination of ceramics, painting, and sculpture, is a joint effort of local residents in cooperation with Wroclaw artists and students of the Academy of Fine Arts. It is 250 meters long and covers an area of 1200 square meters. The neighborhood is also famous for its numerous cafes, stores, and art galleries.
In 2014, Nadodrze's Kurkowa Street was used for filming of the Steven Spielberg film Bridge of Spies, a Cold War-era spy thriller. Working alongside the Wrocław Film Commission, the film's producers set the street up to resemble Berlin in the 1950s and 1960s.

Upon completing his PhD, he became an assistant professor in the reading education program at what was then the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. There he taught undergraduate and graduate level courses in the teaching of reading and did research on reading development and instruction. He later was promoted to the associate professor and professor ranks.
While at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), he founded the UIC Center for Literacy a research and service center serving the city of Chicago. He directed that Center from 1991–2013. He also was director of UIC's Reading, Writing, and Literacy programs (1989-2001), and was chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (2011-2013). In 2009, he was honored as UIC's Researcher of the Year (Social Sciences) and was awarded the distinguished professor designation in 2012.
In 2001–2002, Shanahan took a leave of absence from the university to become director of reading for the Chicago Public Schools.
Shanahan was elected president of the International Literacy Association (ILA), and served the association in many capacities, including as a board member, vice president, president elect and president of the ILA. In 2014–2015, he was visiting research professor at Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Major topics of research
Reading-writing relationships
The impact of reading on writing is obvious, since writers use the letters, punctuation, grammatical constructions, and discourse organization with which readers would necessarily be familiar. However, empirical study of these relations was sporadic, simple (usually examining only two variables), and were not particularly influential of theory or practice. This situation changed with Shanahan’s multivariate investigations of reading-writing relationships during the 1980s; a period that could accurately be described as the beginning of the modern age of reading-writing research. These early studies have been widely cited, and have been replicated and extended with students with learning disabilities and internationally. Prior to this work, the inclusion of writing within American reading curricula was rare but today most commercial core reading instruction programs include a writing component.
Shanahan’s work on reading-writing relationships conceptualized the connections as being multivariate and developmental (changing in nature as students progressed). Although at the time this line of research began it was common to claim that reading and writing were closely related, Shanahan found the relations to be moderate in scope—meaning that reading and writing could influence each other, but also that they would differ in important ways. This means that to accomplish high levels of reading and writing ability, it is essential that both be taught, rather than simply teaching one to accomplish the other. Interactive models of reading and writing in which both variables influence each other are more descriptive of literacy attainment than models in which reading precedes writing or vice versa.
Cloze testing
Cloze testing refers to the measurement of reading comprehension or readability of texts by having individuals read texts with omitted words. The readers try to use context to replace the missing words and their reading ability or the difficulty of the texts is then inferred from these responses. From the 1950s-1970s, studies of cloze testing were among the five most studied issues in reading education.
This changed with the publication of Shanahan’s research on cloze. This research proved that cloze testing was limited in that it measured sentence level comprehension alone, without regard to cohesion, text structure, or other aspects of meaning that go beyond sentence boundaries. As a result, cloze research became less frequent and the use of cloze either as an assessment or instructional tool declined.
Research synthesis
Shanahan played an important role in the use of research synthesis to drive educational policy. He co-authored an influential synthesis of research on Reading Recovery, a remedial reading program aimed at first graders, at the request of U.S. Department of Education’s North Central Regional Education Laboratory.
In 1997, he was selected from 299 nominees to serve as a member of the National Reading Panel. He co-chaired the Methodology and Fluency subcommittees and was a member of the Alphabetics committee. The National Reading Panel report identified evidence supporting the explicit teaching of phonemic awareness, phonics, oral reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension and became the basis of both federal education policy (No Child Left Behind) and the construction of many commercial reading programs. This report was identified as the third most influential educational report by Editorial Projects in Education Research in 2006.
Shanahan also chaired two other federal research review panels: National Early Literacy Panel (NELP) and National Literacy Panel for Language Minority Children and Youth (NLP). Both panels issued influential reports. These panels followed upon the work of the National Reading Panel, focusing on the reading development of children in preschool and kindergarten on those learning to read in a second language. The Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education decided not to issue the NLP report, but allowed its external publication after pressure brought to bear by the New York Times.
Disciplinary literacy
Each discipline (e.g., literature, science, mathematics, history) creates specialized texts and uses reading and writing in unique or highly specialized ways. Professor Shanahan conducted research and wrote a plethora of reports and reviews on disciplinary literacy, mostly with his wife, Cynthia Shanahan. These studies compare the approaches to reading used by mathematicians, historians, and chemists, and explore how these specialized uses of literacy could be taught in secondary schools. This work became the basis of the disciplinary literacy standards included in the Common Core State Standards, which have been adopted by more than 40 U.S. states; additionally, several other countries and international organizations are supporting research and practice in disciplinary literacy, explicitly based on the Shanahan’s work. In 2017, the Literacy Research Association recognized these contributions with the P. David Pearson
Award for Scholarly Impact.
Testimony in federal court cases
Shanahan has been an expert witness in a number of legal proceedings focusing on educational practice, educational policy, and document readability. In two instances his opinions have been cited in federal case law.
In one case, the Sargent Shriver Center for Poverty Law brought a class action suit on behalf of the minor children in Cook County, Illinois who were eligible for Medicaid against the State of Illinois. The suit claimed that the state was failing to ensure that the plaintiffs were receiving the required pediatric care and services. One concern was the reading demands of notices that were sent to the parents of these Medicaid eligible children. Shanahan testified that the notices were more difficult than necessary and often exceeded the reading levels of the parents and guardians. District Judge Joan Lefkow cited his opinion in ordering that the state employ communications specialists capable of producing easier to understand notices and that parents be told, not just informed by writing, of the available services through writing.
In another case Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana brought suit against the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Governor Jindal claimed that the Department of Education coerced the states to adopt the Common Core State Standards in violation of the U.S. Constitution, the Department of Education charter, and states’ rights. Shanahan served as expert witness on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education and testified that the Common Core did not constitute a curriculum and that, therefore, the U.S. Department of Education was not in violation. Judge Shelly Dick concurred, citing Shanahan's testimony in her ruling.

A non-binding referendum on allowing the direct election of the Alderney representatives of the States of Guernsey was held in Alderney in September and October 2003. However, the validity of the procedure was disputed. The proposal was approved by 70% of those who answered the questionnaire.
Background
The two Alderney representatives in the States of Guernsey are chosen by the States of Alderney. The Procedures and Constitution Committee of the States of Guernsey sought to consult Alderney residents on whether this should be changed to allow for their direct election by voters. The referendum was opposed by the President of the Alderney States, Norman Browse, who claimed the Committee had "exceeded its mandate".

The Berrima River (in Victoria), also called the Berrima Creek (in New South Wales), is a perennial river of the Snowy River catchment, located in the Alpine region of the Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria.
Course and features
The Berrima River rises below the Berrima Range in a remote alpine wilderness area just north of the Black-Allan Line that forms part of the border between New South Wales and Victoria. The river flows generally south, before reaching its confluence with the Freestone Creek to form the Suggan Buggan River in the Shire of East Gippsland, within the Alpine National Park in Victoria. The river descends over its course.
Etymology
The word berrima is derived from the Aboriginal word meaning "to the south".
History
Aboriginal history
The traditional custodians of the land surrounding the Berrima River are the Australian Aboriginal Bidawal and Nindi-Ngudjam Ngarigu Monero peoples.

Jeremy Vargas Sagastegui (November 1, 1970 – October 13, 1998) was an American killer convicted of three counts of aggravated first-degree murder for the drowning and beating of Kievan Sarbacher, 3, and the shooting deaths of his mother, Melissa Sarbacher, 21, and a second woman, Lisa Vera-Acevedo, 27.
The killings occurred on November 19, 1995, in a mobile home in rural Finley, Washington, located east of Kennewick, where Sagastegui had been babysitting Sarbacher's two children. The second child, a 1-year-old girl, was unharmed.
Sometime between the evening hours of November 18 and the early morning hours of November 19, at a residence in Finley, Jeremy Sagastegui sexually abused, beat, stabbed, and then drowned Kievan Sarbacher, a three-year-old boy who was in his care. Sagastegui then waited for Kievan's mother, Melissa Sarbacher, to return home. When she did so, he shot her and her friend, Lisa Vera-Acevedo, who had accompanied Sarbacher home.
The convicted triple murderer refused to fight his execution. His mother filed for a stay on his behalf but it was denied as Sagastegui was found competent, and therefore no third party, including his mother, could file on his behalf.
He was executed on October 13, 1998, by lethal injection aged 27.

"Tomorrow Night" is a 1939 song written by Sam Coslow and Will Grosz. A version by Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights (vocal by The Heidtlites) was very popular in 1939.
In 1948, Lonnie Johnson had a crossover hit on King Records (Johnson had also previously recorded the song for Paradise records in 1947) with the song, which had Johnson on guitar and Simeon Hatch on piano. Lonnie Johnson's version hit number one on the R&B charts for seven non consecutive weeks and peaked at number nineteen on the pop chart. Actually, the Paradise and King recordings are the same basic recording, however King Records overdubbed a vocal chorus over the original Paradise version, and it's the overdubbed recording that became the hit. A "stereo" version is known to exist where the Paradise basic track is heard on the left channel and the overdubbed version with the chorus is heard on the right channel
Lonnie Johnson's version of "Tomorrow Night" would become his theme song and transformed the song into a blues standard.

"Two Weeks" is the twenty-first episode of the fifth season of the television series The Office and the 93rd overall episode of the series. It originally aired on NBC in the United States on March 26, 2009. In this episode, Michael, who has given his two weeks' notice to Dunder Mifflin, tries to convince others in the office to quit and join him in starting a new paper company. Meanwhile, Pam spends her day trying to put together the new photocopier and becomes frustrated with her job.
The episode was written by Aaron Shure and directed by Paul Lieberstein. Executive story editor Charlie Grandy conceived the idea of Michael leaving Dunder Mifflin, and the writers collectively decided the Pam character should leave and try to find out what she wants from life. The episode included a guest appearance by Idris Elba, who played new Dunder Mifflin vice president Charles Miner. "Two Weeks" received generally positive reviews and, according to Nielsen ratings, was watched by 8.7 million overall viewers and was the top-rated show on NBC the week it aired. "Two Weeks" received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series.
Synopsis
Having submitted his two weeks' notice to Dunder Mifflin, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) begins goofing off and drinking around the office, while new company vice president Charles Miner (Idris Elba) plans to hire the new regional manager from the outside, for "obvious reasons." The employees suggest that Michael start looking for another job. Michael is unworried at first, until he learns how poorly the economy is performing. He first tries Prince Paper, but they had been run out of business by Dunder Mifflin. After finding no available work, Michael decides to start his own paper company and unsuccessfully tries to convince others around the office to join him. When Charles catches Michael labeling Dunder Mifflin customer lists with his new company's name, he orders security guard Hank (Hugh Dane) to escort Michael from the building. Charles cuts off Michael's attempt to deliver parting remarks to the office, forcing him to leave immediately. Michael drives out of the parking lot, but is later spotted sneaking back into the building.
The office has received a new copy machine, but it is not assembled, so Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) spends the day putting it together as the rest of the employees hassle and tease her. She finally completes assembling it, but feels no satisfaction about it afterward, and comes to realize how underutilized and underappreciated she is at her job. Meanwhile, Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey) and Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) continue to flirt with Charles.
Michael sneaks back into the office, crawling on the floor below the desks so Charles, who is sitting in the conference room, will not notice him. Michael grabs his customer list and makes a final desperate offer for the other employees to join him. Charles notices Michael and physically threatens him, prompting Michael to leave without the customer list. After Charles angrily closes the conference room door, Pam follows Michael out of the building, announcing that she is leaving with him. However, she tells Michael she wants to be a salesperson at his new company, not a receptionist. Michael agrees, then asks Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) if he wants to come with them, but he declines. Pam and Michael leave together, feeling both exhilarated and apprehensive.
At the end of the episode, Charles, who still knows very little about the employees at the Scranton branch, decides to make Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) the temporary receptionist and make Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker) the office's "Productivity Czar," much to the surprise of both men.
Production
"Two Weeks" was written by Aaron Shure and directed by Paul Lieberstein. Executive story editor Charlie Grandy conceived the idea of Michael leaving Dunder Mifflin. Shure said there was a great deal of debate among the writers about Pam's decision to leave Dunder Mifflin with Michael, but they decided to move in that direction to demonstrate Pam was trying to figure out what she wants in life. Lieberstein thought of the idea of the final scene in which Michael and Pam's faces go from optimism to concern, because he felt it would anchor the episode. The decision to have Charles choose Stanley as productivity czar and Kevin as receptionist was made by Shure the day before the episode's draft was handed in because he wanted to have Charles make "rookie mistakes, despite all his poise." "Two Weeks" was the second of six episodes guest starring Idris Elba, best known as Stringer Bell from The Wire. Elba said he did not watch the episode after it aired because "I'm hypercritical about my work, so I try not to torture myself."
The official The Office website included three cut scenes from "Two Weeks" within a week of the episode's original release. In one minute-long clip, Michael asks Darryl for warehousing advice for his new paper company; Darryl gives Michael encouraging words about the new business venture before admitting, "I'm messing with you. This doesn't sound like a good idea." In a second one-minute clip, Michael tries stealing office supplies from the Dunder Mifflin office for his new company, until he is caught by Charles, who literally chases him out of the office; Charles then tries to describe what Michael's like to the camera but finds himself shocked into silence. In a final 38-second clip, Kelly visits Michael's office to ask what he will do with his life, then starts talking about her own fantasy of running off to Mexico with Charles. B. J. Novak wrote a talking-head segment for Toby, where he compares Michael to a movie on a plane because "it's not great, but it's something to watch, and when it's over you're like, how much longer is this flight? Now what?"
An original draft for the episode included more dialogue between Pam and Jim about the decision, in which Pam brought up Jim's impulsive decision to buy his parents' house without consulting her in the episode "Frame Toby," but it was ultimately cut because they felt it added too much time to get to the resolution. A number of documentary-style interviews with Dwight about Michael's defection and his thoughts about Charles Miner were cut for length issues.
Immediately after "Two Weeks" was first broadcast, NBC Universal's The Office website DunderMifflinInfinity.com sent mass e-mail messages said to be from "Michael Gary Scott" encouraging people to join his new company, "The Michael Scott Paper Company." The message, which included a link to the website, said "As the manager of Dunder Mifflin, Scranton I learned two things: everything about the paper business and that Dunder Mifflin is a suckee company. I’m taking that expertness and creating The Michael Scott Paper Company. … I cannot promise success, but I will promise you the best effing time of your life!!!"
Cultural references
Michael accidentally visits a website about actual monsters when trying to visit Monster.com, a popular employment site. During work, Michael drinks a combination of scotch and Splenda, an artificial sweetener; Michael had the same drink in the third season episode "Cocktails". Michael tries to get a job with Prince Family Paper Company only to find they have gone out of business; this is a reference to "Prince Family Paper", an episode from earlier in the fifth season, in which Michael and Dwight go undercover at Prince Paper to learn their company secrets and steal their clients. While flirting with Charles, Kelly said her family was so close they were like the Kardashians, a reference to the E! reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Several reviewers compared Pam's decision to quit with Michael to that of Renée Zellweger's character in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, and the final scene in which Michael and Pam go from excitement over their new company to concern about the future to the final moments of The Graduate. Shure, who said he is a fan of the movie scene, said it was not directly inspired by the film, but he was "painfully aware of the inevitable comparison"; he said the writers considered having Michael refer to the movie in the episode, but dropped it due to time constraints. The line spoken by Oscar, "Just like that, as mysteriously as he arrived, he was gone" was written by Office writer Mindy Kaling and was inspired by the Keyser Söze character in the 1995 film, The Usual Suspects.
Reception
In its original American broadcast on March 26, 2009, "Two Weeks" was watched by 8.7 million overall viewers, and 5.8 million viewers among ages 18 to 49. The episode had a 4.5 rating and 11 share in the 18 to 49 demographic, making it NBC's top-rated show the week it aired.
"Two Weeks" received generally positive reviews. Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger praised the episode and specific elements of it, like Michael wandering around the office drunk and many of the documentary-style interviews, like Charles talking about his effect on women, Toby comparing Michael to a movie on a plane and Kevin being too lazy to compliment Michael in person. But he said the episode was "elevated" by Michael and Pam forming a partnership at the end: "Steve Carell and Jenna Fischer are always brilliant in those moments when they have to show multiple emotions at once, so it was nice to finally see them get to do it side-by-side." Entertainment Weekly writer Margaret Lyons said "Two Weeks" offered a change that would keep the series fresh and, although she said it was "not a nonstop laugh riot", she said it "highlights what The Office does that few other shows ever even attempt: incredibly humane, subtle moments that contrast with the kind of chaos only ever borne of monotony."
Brian Howard of The Journal News said the episode flowed well and he liked the payoff at the end when Pam joined Michael's new paper company, but he said the moments with Michael crawling on the floor felt like "unnecessary padding". Nevertheless, he said, "I'm looking forward to rewatching this episode, probably the first time I've done that since 'Lecture Circuit: Part I. Andy Shaw of TV Fodder said Michael was much more likable in "Two Weeks" than in other recent episodes, and said, "Steve Carell was at his best, with great throwaway lines and getting to the heart of Michael's love for Dunder-Mifflin and paper." Will Leitch of New York magazine said the episode marked a "major step" for the series and had some particularly sweet moments between Michael and Pam. He also particularly liked the moment when Charles Miner, who is played by the same actor who played drug dealer Stringer Bell on the HBO series The Wire, threatened to attack Michael: "Michael Scott being beaten up by Stringer Bell. That's one for the TV annals."
Rick Porter of Zap2it said the episode was "pretty good" and that Jenna Fischer was "fantastic", but he felt the episode was less outright funny than recent episodes. But Porter also said he had mixed feelings about Pam's decision to work for Michael and about the Charles Miner character, who he said might be too humorless and uncomfortable for the show. Travis Fickett of IGN felt it was disappointing and slow-paced compared to last week's episode "New Boss": "Things slow down a bit as we sort of repeat the awkwardness between Michael and new regional manager Charles Miner. It feels a bit like the episode is marking time – which is exactly what Michael is doing with his final two weeks on the job." "Two Weeks" was voted the eighteenth highest-rated episode out of 26 from the fifth season, according to an episode poll at the fansite OfficeTally; the episode was rated 7.74 out of 10.
Stuart Bass received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series. "Two Weeks" accounted for one of the ten Primetime Emmy Award nominations The Office received for the show's fifth season at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, which were held on September 20, 2009.
